Thank youuuuu for going with my request, loved it soooo much.

Could you maybe do a Daniel x Sunshine set amid Scotty and Chloe’s wedding, and when Chloe throws the bouquet, sunshine catches it, and the entire room looks at Daniel while he blushes.

I saw a reel like this, and i can totally imagine Scotty running up to Daniel and saying “you’re next” lmao😭

So much love~💚

thank you!! and thank you for requesting!🫶🏽

.

You had never been to Venice before you joined Daniel as his date to his best friend’s wedding.

It was a beautiful city, one that you had seen countless times in videos and pictures and movies. You always imagined it would disappoint if you ever saw it in real life, maybe that was a reason you always held back from visiting in the free time you had between each half of the seasons.

But when Daniel asked you to join him for Scotty’s wedding—someone who you had become close to as well—you had no reason to deny the invitation. And you were glad you did because it was even better than any screen or camera could ever capture.

CLICK!

You turned your head, finding your boyfriend grinning behind his camera as he clicked another picture of your expression before setting it down on the table. He reached for your hand, intertwining your fingers together before pressing a kiss to the back.

“What’s going on in that pretty head of yours?” Daniel asked, his thumb smoothing over the back of your hand.

“Just thinking,” you murmured with a smile.

He raised his brows. “Oh, that can’t be good.”

You rolled your eyes but laughed. “It’s just…so romantic here,” you said to him with a shrug. “Like, I know people always go on about Paris but this…this is something else entirely.”

He had a deeply contemplative look on his face. “Would you wanna get married here?”

You blinked, almost like you weren’t expecting the question. “I don’t know, to be honest.”

“Where would you wanna get married?” Daniel asked before he flashed you a sheepish smile. “Hypothetically.”

“Jumping the gun a bit there, Ricciardo,” you mused but there was a smile on your face too.

He just shrugged. “I like envisioning our future. I just wanna know what your version looks like.”

“And it’s a wedding?” you asked.

“Our dream wedding,” he corrected as he placed another kiss along your knuckles. “It’s gonna be everything we want and more.”

“And more?” you teased. “You’re making big promises here.”

“And I intend to fulfil them all,” he retorted playfully, his eyes glancing down to your lips. You had forbidden him from kissing you before pictures in case it ruined your makeup. But those were over now and there was no reason he couldn’t—

“BOUQUET TOSS! C’MON UP, LADIES!”

You barely got a chance to say anything as you felt hands pull you off your seat, only having enough time to give your boyfriend an apologetic smile before you were tugged into the crowd of women in the middle of the dance floor.

You stayed back, happy to just observe as Chloe moved to the front, looking like a goddamn Disney princess as she grinned at the crowd before turning her back to everyone and tossing the bouquet of flowers over her head.

You were surprised when you found them heading straight towards you.

You could hear the cheers of the other wedding guests, clapping and laughing as you glanced down at the flowers in your hands, and then almost instantly your eyes went to Daniel.

He was already staring at you, a wide grin spread across his face. He wiggled his brows playfully which only made you laugh with him, despite the heated flush covering your body at all the attention.

Daniel couldn’t tear his eyes away from you as Scotty made his way towards him, throwing an arm over his shoulder and giving him a playful shove.

“Guess it’s you next, mate, eh?” Scotty teased.

Though it seems impossible, his grin widened. “Hopefully.”

"Your ex-friend's sister

Met someone at a club and he kissed her

Turns out, it was that guy you hooked up with ages ago

Some wannabe Z-lister

And all the outfits were terrible

2003 unbearable

Did you see the photos?"

No, I didn't, but thanks, though

Paris is unquestionably a city for lovers, said Mary McAuliffe.

And it is indeed the city for all lovers. The romantic lovers, head over heels in love with each other. The soon-to-be lovers, so shy and so scared to reveal their feelings. The inseparable lovers, so consumed by their adoration that they can't seem to keep their hands away from each other. The secret lovers, lost in between discreet touches and memories built in confidence.

Paris is the one place where your heart seems to beat even faster, where your eyes seem to glow a little more, where your head seems to be completely and utterly focused on the idea of love.

Y/N and Esteban were no exception to the rule.

No matter how many times the couple visited the French capital, the two seemed to become magnets, unable to let go of each other, whenever they went to the city of love.

The young woman was combing her long hair in front of the large mirror in the hotel bathroom, towel around her wet body, after taking a shower. 

With her eyes locked on her reflection, Y/N didn't even notice her boyfriend's tall frame walk through the door until the driver wrapped his arms around her waist from behind while resting his chin on top of her head.

She smiled at him through the mirror and Esteban responded by placing a soft kiss on his girlfriend's cheek, sending shivers down her spine.

It was amazing how he managed to have the same effect on her since the first day they met two years ago.

It was her best friend's birthday and a bunch of people were gathered at his house, ready to sing happy birthday to the boy. Everyone was taking their seats around the table, Y/N opting to stay tucked away in the corner of the room as she wasn't a big fan of people in general.

"You're Y/N, right?" A familiar face asked her, as he leaned against the wall next to the girl.

"Yes, that's me." Y/N smiled, feeling her cheeks flush as she looked at the Frenchman, immediately feeling an attraction to him. "I'm sorry, but I don't know who you are..." She laughed nervously.

"Esteban, I'm a friend of Mick's." The driver introduced himself, extending a hand for the young woman to shake, with a smirk on his face. "I saw you here and recognized you from the pictures. He constantly talks about 'his best friend Y/N' and I had to approach you."

The two stayed there, maintaining eye contact for a few seconds, smiling from ear to ear, until they heard the other guests start singing. They turned towards their German friend, but, in reality, the two maintained their focus on each other, keeping their gaze on each other from the corner of their eyes.

After Esteban expressed his interest in Schumacher's best friend and after much insistence on his part that he had good intentions, Mick ended up giving in and began to arrange more outings involving his two best friends.

Months passed, with Esteban always persistent in trying to build a stronger bond with the girl in the hopes of asking her out one day, but Y/N got ahead of him and she took the first step.

"Este?" She got the driver's attention, as the two of them fell behind the rest of the group on top of the snowy mountain.

"Yes, trésor?" Esteban answered, looking in her direction, the nickname rolling off his tongue as usual.

"What if we had dinner this week?" The girl suggested, a confident smile plastered on her face.

"You mean..." The man hesitated nervously, thinking he might be misunderstanding things.

"A date, yes. Me and you. This Saturday night. My place." The girl explained, reaching her gloved hand into the boy's coat pocket, where she managed to grab his.

Esteban couldn't help but think to himself: my God, I'm falling for this girl already.

I'm so in love that I might stop breathing

Drew a map on your bedroom ceiling

No, I didn't see the news

'Cause we were somewhere else

Things between them evolved quickly, and the two simply became obsessed with each other overnight.

However, Esteban's fame scared Y/N a bit, as she had experienced a lot of the attention that came with accompanying Formula 1's blonde prince to his races and witnessed first-hand some of the hatred that other drivers' girlfriends, that she got to know over the years, got.

And that's why the couple decided to keep their relationship private between them and the people closest to them, even though many of them didn't understand all the secrecy.

No one knew but their friends and family. Even on the driver's team, no one knew who she was in specific, although there were some rumours and speculation due to the noticeable chemistry between the two of them and their occasional escapades to his driver's room when they thought nobody was looking.

The same can be said about the fans. Y/N was a familiar figure in the paddock, especially to Haas' fans as she was a usual member of the German driver's entourage over the years. But that didn't kill their curiosity about who she was, and what connection she had both to Mick and to other drivers with whom she was seen around the circuits.

But the couple couldn't care less. They were happy. The happiest they've ever been.

Esteban gently smoothed his girlfriend's hair away from her neck and placed a romantic kiss on it, making her giggle as he tickled her with his beard.

"Hurry up, mon amour." He told her, continuing to caress her as he spoke. "We have to go. Paris awaits us."

Stumbled down pretend alleyways

Cheap wine, make believe it's champagne

I was taken by the view

The girl dressed quickly, without much effort, keeping her outfit comfortable and discreet: some black sweatpants of her own, an army green hoodie stolen from her boyfriend, a winter Nike jacket on top and a black beanie on her head.

Her partner's look mirrored her own, both opting to blend in with the crowd as just two normal lovers in the city of love. There was no fame, no attention, and no fans.

"You look so cute in my clothes, mon trésor." Esteban complimented the girl, pulling her beanie down further, playfully covering her eyes with it. Y/N slapped his hand away from her face, adjusting herself to the new one, while the Frenchman laughed and placed a kiss on her forehead. "You look beautiful, as always."

Her little heart warmed with her boyfriend's words. He never went a day without making her feel like the most special person in the world, even when she was standing in front of him in sweats, with messy wet hair, and no makeup at all.

"Shall we? I thought you said Paris was waiting for us." Y/N joked, recalling her boyfriend's words. "Enough compliments, let's go, babe."

The girl's fingers intertwined with his and Y/N pulled the driver towards the room's exit as she walked backwards towards it.

Like we were in Paris

Like we were somewhere else

Like we were in Paris, oh

We were somewhere else

After leaving the hotel, the couple stumbled down an alleyway, hand in hand, hidden from the rest of the world, but always with happy smiles on their faces.

Y/N told him all about the latest gossip at her work, the new music she discovered on her Spotify, and her most embarrassing teenage stories with Mick.

And Esteban just listened. His favourite sound was her voice, especially when she told him the smallest details of her routine in an attempt to make him not feel left out due to the distance between them most of the time.

At that moment, they walked through the crowd and not a soul cared who they were. They were just... them. A couple in love among hundreds of others.

A few minutes later, they found a small, empty restaurant and when they saw an older couple dancing in the centre of the room, they decided to stick around, assuming they were the owners and would probably not recognize the driver.

The two entered, smiling at the couple, and sat at the booth in the most reserved corner of the room, picking up the menus to decide what to eat.

The night continued in the best possible way. The food was delicious, the restaurant remained just for the two of them and the old couple continued to sway gently to the French music blaring from the radio, making Y/N, the ultimate hopeless romantic, smile with her eyes half tearing up as she lay her head on her boyfriend's shoulder.

Y/N and Esteban didn't have a care in the world, since Paris always managed to keep their romance just theirs.

Privacy sign on the door

And on my page and on the whole world

Romance is not dead if you keep it just yours

Levitate above all the messes made

Sit quiet by my side in the shade

And not the kind that's thrown

I mean, the kind under where a tree has grown

After finishing their dinner and paying for their meal, the couple left the small establishment and decided to return to the comfort of their hotel room, which was not far away.

The young woman's hand found its home again in the hold of her boyfriend's hand. The girl's gaze sparkled as she studied every detail of the street they passed: the lights, the shop windows, the people, and the flowers on the balconies.

Meanwhile, Esteban couldn't help looking at her as if she had his whole world in her hands. No matter how much time passed, he was so madly in love with her that he almost felt like he might stop breathing at any second.

The driver pulled her closer to him, letting go of her hand to wrap his arm around her shoulders and let out a sigh at the feel of her body touching his. "Je t'aime tellement, mon amour." He said almost instinctively.

Y/N looked at him, with the most sincere and genuine smile, ready to return the driver's declaration of love when the two were interrupted by an unexpected intruder.

"Hey, you!" Upon hearing this, the two immediately moved away, fearing that their cover had been revealed, and the girl continued to walk forward alone while Esteban paid attention to the small boy who approached him. "You're Esteban Ocon, aren't you? You're my favourite driver ever!"

Clearly, little Louis - as he introduced himself before he enthusiastically told his idol all about the races he'd seen - hadn't been up to speed with the latest gossip from the world of Formula 1 and the couple had overreacted, but they were both used to react like this in the rare instances when Ocon was recognized during their secret dates.

Y/N started to slow her pace when she discreetly looked back and saw her boyfriend bending down to take a picture with his fan. 

In a matter of seconds, Esteban took the place beside her and the two continued on their way to the hotel, although now there was some distance between them.

It was difficult at times, they admitted. Especially for a couple who couldn't seem to keep their hands off each other. But they knew their sacrifice was for the greater good, so they could have the privacy they valued so much.

Almost as if they were communicating telepathically, the two looked at each other simultaneously, though no words were spoken, and Esteban gave her a half smile, making her body relax with the comfort it conveyed to her.

The date might have ended, but the night was still young: it didn't matter where they were because, as long as they were together, they were having the time of their lives.

I'm so in love that I might stop breathing

Drew a map on your bedroom ceiling

No, I didn't see the news

'Cause we were somewhere else

As Y/N walked into their hotel room and started to take off her coat, Esteban gave her a smirk and placed the privacy sign on the outside door handle.

"Now it's just you and me at last, mon trésor." The boy said, approaching his girlfriend and giving her a peck on the top of her pink lips.

The two removed the outfits they were wearing and changed into more comfortable clothes, prepared to continue their night just enjoying each other's company. Esteban put on his pyjamas, and Y/N put on hers, which basically consisted of a pair of dark blue shorts and an Alpine t-shirt from the previous season obviously stolen from her boyfriend's closet.

The girl walked over to the room's mini fridge and took out a bottle of cheap wine that she had bought for them.

"Just pretend it's champagne, Este." She joked as she poured two tall glasses for the two of them to drink from. "Not all of us can be Formula 1 drivers, I'm just an accountant."

The two brought their lips to their drinks, feeling the pleasant taste of alcohol spread through their mouths. Y/N walked over to the window on her side, where she could see the view of the Eiffel Tower, and Esteban wrapped his arms around her, placing his large hands on her stomach and resting his chin on top of her shoulder.

The Tower shone like the brightest star in the sky, hence why Paris was known as the city of lights, and the two maintained the comfortable silence that settled in the room, both taken by the view.

Stumbled down pretend alleyways

Cheap wine, make believe it's champagne

I was taken by the view

Tired, Esteban sat down on the edge of the wide double bed, pulling his girlfriend with him. The two giggled while the Frenchman lay down against the headboard and the girl took the place on top of him, straddling him with one leg on either side of his lap.

Y/N took her hands to his neck, letting her fingers intertwine in his hair, and her mouth joined his in a serene kiss, full of love, comfort and peace. 

The connection between the two was simply inexplicable and completely out of this world.

The young woman took the place beside him, removing herself from the top of it and lying down on the mattress, with her head now on his shoulder. Both were looking at their cell phones: Esteban looking for the results of the football matches that had taken place that day, and Y/N checking her Instagram feed without much attention.

Until the girl's phone alerted her to a new message and, after reading it, she fell into a fit of uncontrollable laughter, leaving her boyfriend more confused than ever.

"Mon amour, are you alright?" His voice revealed the smile plastered on his face.

"You won't believe what Mick sent me." Y/N moved her cell phone so that Esteban could read what was sent by the German.

From: Micky

Have you seen the news? Apparently, we are dating AGAIN! 🙄😂

Attached was an image that contained a particular comment left on the last photo posted by Mick, where you could see the two friends in the middle of a snowball fight.

'@f1fan: Mick and Y/N are FOR SURE together, they've been dating for years!! You have to be blind to not see it! 👀'

"Oh my God, are you cheating on me with Mick of all people?!" Esteban pretended to be hurt, with his hand over his heart as if she had broken it. "I expected better from you, Y/N."

The two simply laughed at the rumours, thinking to themselves how comical it was that people were so certain about her supposed love affair with her best friend when she was lying in the same bed as a completely different driver from the grid, who was, in fact, the one who truly owned her heart.

Like we were in Paris, oh

Like we were somewhere else

Like we were in Paris, oh

We were somewhere else

Y/N recalled all the times those closest to them had criticized their choice to keep their relationship a secret and couldn't help but ask about it again.

"Do you think our family is right?" Y/N asked, resting her chin on the Frenchman's chest so she could see his expression. "About how we shouldn't hide our relationship. Do you ever regret it? I mean, not telling the world about us?"

"Honestly, mon trésor," Esteban replied, pushing the hair that hid his girlfriend's face behind her ear. "As much as I would love to scream until my lungs give out that I am the luckiest man alive and that the sexiest girl on this planet is mine, nothing would make me change our relationship."

"So no, I don't regret it." He continued, stroking her cheek with his thumb. "Mon amour, we are in Paris. No one here to judge us, or to try to tear us apart. Just you and me against the world, come what may."

I wanna brainwash you

Into loving me forever

I wanna transport you

To somewhere the culture's clever

Confess my truth

In swooping, sloping, cursive letters

Let the only flashing lights be the tower at midnight

In my mind

"You know," Y/N pulled her body closer to his, circling his neck with her arms and leaning fully on the driver's torso. "I swear I just want to brainwash you into loving me forever sometimes."

"I think I should be worried about those words," Esteban teased, earning a gentle pinch from the girl in return. "But to be honest, I think I'm going to love you forever either way, so no brainwashing needed."

"God, we really are corny." Y/N laughed, laying her head over the Frenchman, being able to hear every beat of his racing heart. "No wonder why Mick hates us so much."

We drew a map on your bedroom ceiling

No, I didn't see the news

'Cause we were somewhere else

In an alleyway, drinking champagne

A few minutes went by, and the two fell asleep in each other's arms, again surrounded by the silence within those four walls that protected them from the rest of the world.

Their relationship may have seemed wrong to others, but Y/N and Esteban both knew that their love was the surest thing in their lives.

Their hidden connection completed them, made their stomachs flutter, gave them the motivation to wake up in the morning.

In the bottom of their heart and in the depth of their soul, they kept their best secret hidden from all the evil, all the jealousy and all the judgment.

And maybe they would never tell a soul in the world about their love.

But in the end, they would always have Paris.

'Cause we were in Paris

Yes, we were somewhere else

My love, we were in Paris

Yes, we were somewhere else

Venice

I went to few cities in Italy, but among all those cities that I went to, I would say Venice is my favourite. They said venice is the city of love (well asides from Paris).

Legend says that if you kiss your partner under this bridge on a gondola ride, you will be together forever.So, I kissed my money. (Will it work the same way?)

Anyways, the fact that venice is such a romantic city isnt exactly why it’s my favourite. The real reason is….

Yes. Its because of One Piece ! When I first arrived in Venice, I thought to myself that the city looks so similar to water 7 which is a place that exist in One piece, my favourite anime. It is also one of the best arcs for me.The gondola rides, the boats as a transport and the buildings, the environment, it was like I was in water 7 for real. Not to mention how beautiful the scenery was.

Then thats when I found out water 7 is actually inspired from Venice (source from google).I find it interesting that it was inspired by a real city, and down to all the details. Oda is indeed a genius.If you are a one piece fan like me you should definitely visit Venice.

Characters were chosen as individuals instead of couples, so I'm going to write this answer as the individual characters' ideal date night irrespective who their date might be.

Eric: His ideal date might be on a beach (before he goes to California in 5x01). Playing in the waves, watching the sunset with his date, then making out (or making love).

Also could be going to see the Packers play then making out (or making love).

Or seeing Star Wars then making out (or making love) dressed as Luke and Leia (this is before the characters were made siblings).

Donna: A rock concert, as long as she's not in journalist mode.

Or meeting someone in New York City or London and having an intellectual connection. Her heart will follow.

Jackie: Somewhere fancy and romantic, like Paris or Disneyland (her words). But, yeah, definitely a romantic spot or event. Of course, Jackie is so full of idealized romanticism that she can find any place or event romantic with the person she loves -- like the funeral home closet in "Grandma's Dead" (1x23).

Hyde: Ideal date for him is one that ends in sex. Or starts with sex, continues with more sex, and ends with sex. He can be interpreted as demiromantic and demisexual based on his characterization on the show -- with a high libido.

He's not a sex addict like Kelso, but he enjoys the act of sex. He's essentially stated he doesn't need to be aesthetically attracted to someone to have sex with her. But he can be repelled by someone's personality.

If he has romantic feelings for someone, however, he'd want to talk all night while drinking beer ... and pausing both for sex before going back to talking and drinking. (This is all pre-S5.)

Favorite Memory: Eric, Donna, Jackie, Hyde

Again, the characters were chosen as individuals, so their favorite memory won't be about their romantic relationships.

Eric: His childhood memories with Donna as his first friend and best friend hold one of the highest spots. Any memory of his dad saying he loves Eric or is proud of him. The car ride home with his mom during "Career Day" (1x18). Many more. He probably can't choose just one.

Donna: Her childhood memories with Eric as her first friend and best friend hold one of the highest spots. Watching football with her dad. Her parents renewing their wedding vows. The first time one of her stories is published in the school paper. Meeting musicians through her DJing job at WFPP.

Jackie: Whenever she won awards. Any quality time she's spent with her father. When Donna first called Jackie her friend. Her first time successfully completing a difficult cheerleading stunt.

Hyde: His uncle's visits at home when Bud and Edna were married and after Bud left. His uncle is the only family member (pre-S7) who treated him with respect and unconditional love. He modeled a lot of who he is on his uncle. (This is total headcanon; you'll find it throughout my fanfic and @those70scomics.)

Lots of childhood memories with Eric, Donna, and Kelso. Particularly Eric and Donna. They were his safe place, found family, away from his abusive home.

Childhood memories of Kitty and Red treating him with love and respect.

I should have categorized F as Favorite Memories, not memory singular. 😅

Heart to you (Snape X OFC)

26 July, Rome,

"No!" a panicked voice laced with heavy american accent whisper-yelled, "Absolutely not! guys do something!" The person who said to the small group with a sheer frustration. "He is right. Don't be stupid. You are going to get yourself a lots of trouble." They tried to warn their female friend although she is even listening to them.

The girl or it can say a young women like the way she prefers to be addressed, was of a medium height, look little younger than her two friends. She was modestly dressed in a coffee coloured full sleeve full length vintage dress. Her waist length thick and dark purple hairs are left open but styled modestly. Her face, devoid any cosmetics, may not be the most beautiful in the world but the sparkle in the almond-shaped eyes combined with the beaming smile in her lips and her slight dimple of checks, can put every beautiful face into face in shame.

Today she was uncharastically silent, gazing through the hallway window and her clam eyes twinkled with amusement and mischief... the gang knew this look can only means trouble. Some participant while entering the hall as they are the participants of debate competition. When she was done with her inspection she turned to her friends, "We are only here for 3 days and 1 day we've already wasted. I only have today and tomorrow to see the city."

"Sorry to break it to you. we are here for the competition, not to tour the city." one of her friend retorted."

"Correction! you guys are here for competition. I'm here to see the Eternal city." She corrected him. He jumped in and said, "When have I heard this like...oh I forgot you said these when we went to paris for the chess competition." She smiled in a fond memory, Paris was so beautiful!! Their group leader had gotten really angry at her for sneaking out from the group, but couldn't help herself to see the most romantic city in the world from behind a window. There was so much to do, so much to see and she did her best to enjoy every aspect Paris had to offer, did a little shopping, tasted their food, saw the city from top of the Eiffel Tower. Her only regret was she was doing these alone...without him. It was his birthday...she could walk with him beside the Seine River under the glowing street lamps...hand in hand...see the sunset together from the top of Eiffel tower...dance with him under the moon light...

She was lost in her fantasies that she didn't even noticed that her friends were still talking to her. Her hand clasped under chin, blush adore her checks while her eyes sparkle with the colourful dreams..."these is not Paris...these is Ro...Hey are you even listening to me! Hello!! " Her male friend wave his hand in front of her face successfully bring her from her daydreams. "Why are you smiling like that and why the hell are you turning red?" he huffed in frustration. The girl made a annoyed face and threw a glare to her friend for disturbing her dream. "If I got determine by doing anything no one can stop me."

"Whatever!! just do me a favor, don't put yourself at any trouble. by the way our professor is giving us stinky eye. How are you going to convince him to let you go?" Her friend asked. "I've a plan." She said with mischievous smile. She approach to the old man and, "Mr. leonardo! can I please visit the exhibition hall again?" Her request bluffed her friend. The place which she talking about is at the left wing of the building. How was she planning to go outside from there. Maybe she found some secret rout. She is very unpredictable...

"Again? Why?" The person Mr. Leonardo asked perplexed. The placed she already visited yesterday. What is left for her to re-exploring? "I'd like to see the paintings again. They are truly magnificent." By watching the frown at the man's forehead she understood that he still are not going to let her go. "Actually there's one painting of a pond reminds me of my village...my  home, It's almost 12 years that I left my home..." Her voice heavy with emotion..."I felt that...I found a piece of my home in  this unknown land." She finish her over dramatic speech and her friends just rolled her eyes and mutter, "Drama Queen!" Mr. Leonardo still maintain a stern face and permit her to go. How can he won't. The girl really missing her home. After Mr. Leonardo left her friend warn her, "Victoria be careful!" She nodded her reassuringly and then she was gone.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Victoria walked down the hall and found herself in the left wing, in a big room rows and rows of paintings in ornate carved frames decorated the walls, some were original and some were replicas of famous works from Renaissance era. Her eyes circles the room which was mostly empty, other than a pudgy janitor who was singing an italian song while sweeping the floor to himself there was no one. Her eyes travelled past the janitor over some sculptures then finally on the eastern wall her eyes landen on the painting she was looking for.

Shivering for the cold temperature of the hall she started to walk towards the east wall...Her footstep echoing loudly to the empty room. On her way, when she was passing the pudgy man she smiled warmly at him, in reply the man tipped his head in greetings. She walked to the painting and starts observing it. It was an oil painting of many wooden boat floating on a pond. on the top it started with warm orange and yellow colour at the background, on the right side there was a silhouette of a mansion which looked very familiar. She wasn't lying when she said she liked that painting or that it reminds her of her home.  "You are right Victoria." a voice suddenly whisper in her ear. "It's just like the pond which was situated behind our school...or maybe it is still." There are so many things a person could do when they are being seeked up on-they get startled, some jump in surprise, some even squeaked. But Victoria did none of those things, instead her heart fluttered as a huge smile formed on her lips as she turned to face the owner of the voice. The owner of the voice is a young boy probably 16 or 17 years old much younger than her, thin and tall, fare complexion, who was wearing the uniform of Hogwart school. The left side of his robe has a logo said which house he belongs to. His sharp and intelligent eyes was gazing her her with spark of happiness in them. His thin lip stretched in a grin. "See! I was right. You are the only who was auguring with me." She said with a little frown. "Okey...Okey...I'm sorry! Now please forgive me."  She said while looking at him, "ummm.....no. You have to convince me." She said while smiling. The boy said, "Hmm...let me think..." He seems in thought suddenly he said, "What about my new spell?" Before Victoria could reply the boy take his wand and move it round to make sparkling at the air. Victoria felt very very delight and her smile is not leaving from her face. Her dimple is flushing over her checks and she was happy beyond her imagination. As her laughter died down she smile longingly at him, "Why don't you stay in front of me always?" As she complained her eyes mist up.

"I may not be in front of your eyes but I'm definitely behind your closed eyes." He said softly, "Won't you see Rome? let's go!" She happily nodded her head, taking his hand in hers she led towards the escaping rout.

To be continue...

The Brotherhood of the Travelling Warlords

Thank you everyone who helped send me armchair travelling around the world (and in some cases, into the past as well). It was a lot of fun to research these places and try to figure out what our warlords would want to check out while they were visiting.

Event summary...

Fifteen postcards written, as requested by fourteen people.

Warlords on the move: Mitsuhide (4), Nobunaga (2), Shingen (2), and Masamune (2) win the frequent flier honors, but Sasuke, Yukimura, Keiji, Mitsunari, and Kennyo also got to do some sightseeing as well.

Of all the places requested, I had been to three: Times Square, Washington DC, and Dublin Ireland. I've been to Chicago before, but not during the 1896 World's Fair.

Warlord who gave me travel-envy. I've always wanted to go to Hawaii, New Orleans and Prague, so I would have stowed away in Mitsuhide's suitcase without question.

Places I learned about that I now want to visit: Vigan City and Hoi An Ancient Town.

Place that was a nope... well, we sent Sasuke to an active volcano...

Request that gave me the most difficulty. Rome in 2020, only because I had to do some research to figure out what the COVID restrictions were at that time.

Favorite finished postcard design. I really liked the way Paris France, 1900 turned out. The artwork and graphic design of the era is so very much in my aesthetic sweet spot.

Easter eggs... all of Mitsuhide's postcards have a faint hidden graphic underneath the text of the postcard.

Favorite postcard text - I think I might go with Mitsunari on this one. I figured of all warlords, he'd be the one who started out writing his postcard too big, and be forced to make the lettering get smaller and smaller until he had to write up the side of the card (also he was writing the postcard while on a tour bus for part of the time, so it was a little messy for that reason too). Plus, I just enjoyed thinking of him trapped in Trinity College library and not worried at all about it. Him losing his shoes was a running joke in his longfic, so I stuck that in there too.

Mistakes... I think my biggest planning mistake was not figuring out in advance a couple of the world building issues. Would these warlords be going to a recipient who was currently living in Azuchi (or Kasugayama)? Since some of the requests were anon, or from posters I don't know very well, I made the assumption that the postcard recipient had indeed been previously wormholed into the Sengoku. Also, how would the warlords deal with a language barrier? With that one, I figured that for any warlord travelling to a timeline past (or just around) the 20th century - they could probably find someone who spoke their language (both Kennyo and Masamune went to World's Fairs where there was a Japanese installation). But when Shingen went to Ancient Greece and Mitsuhide went to the Golden Age of India, I figured they would just have to do their best with pointing and making up a sign language as they went along (they're both smart men, they can adapt!). Masamune had less difficulty in medieval Poland, not because he found someone to translate, but because he travelled into a siege situation and I figured he was well enough acquainted with battles that he'd do ok ... I er, quite possibly overthought these.

Along those lines... while I had fun picking out handwriting fonts for the warlords, I made a few mistakes early on... Mitsuhide's for example, took up too much space and I couldn't fit as much content on his cards (and so of course, he was the most requested warlord).

Curious about the handwriting I picked? I was pretty random about it... mostly it was a combination of what felt right to me, plus whether or not it would fit on the postcard. Shingen is more romantic, so his handwriting is flowy, whereas Nobunaga's takes up a lot of space - but I had to balance an authoritative font with being able to include a decent amount of text. I figured that Mitsuhide would think faster than he writes, so his is a little more careless looking, and Sasuke would print, because he's used to writing lab reports. And of course, once I picked a handwriting font for one postcard, I kept it through the rest of them.

Here is everyone in a row, for comparison:

As for the postcards themselves... here they are gathered once more...

Masamune visits Malbork, Poland in 1460

Mitsuhide visits Maui, Hawaii

Keiji visits Times Square, New York, New York

Sasuke visits Koma-ga-take volcano in 1582

Shingen visits Ancient Greece

Yukimura visits Rome, Italy in 2020

Mitsunari visits Dublin, Ireland

Kennyo visits Paris, France, 1900

Mitsuhide visits Pataliputra, India, 300 to 600 CE

Mitsuhide visits New Orleans

Nobunaga visits Washington, DC

Nobunaga visits Vigan City, Philippines

Masamune visits the World's Fair, Chicago, 1893

Shingen visits Hoi An Ancient Town

Mitsuhide visits Prague, Czech Republic

Thank you again to everyone who requested a card. Maybe some day I'll bring this back!

[femmefatalevibe]

Hi, I was wondering what's your opinion on levelling up your life by looking for a wealthy partner? I was watching a video a few days ago on etiquette, elegance ( the video had more points included) and the lady was talking about networking and visiting places like the South of France, certain spots in Greece, high end places where mostly the wealthy have access, meeting people on yachts... thing is ... most of the places mentioned were mostly for partying and are known for having escorts visiting them, or rich wannabes, so following these advices can do more worse than good. Same for meeting people in rich type of locations. Rich people have a very different mindset, and a lot of them scrunch their noses is they find out you're actually not wealthy, even though you afford to visit a certain place, as for yacht parties etc, there are a lot of incidents with women who are told to partake in sexual activities and are nothing more than some meat for those rich men .

Hi love. I think that the best way to "level up your life" is to create a meaningful life for your life – regardless of whether you desire to have a partner or not. Your skills, habits, life experiences, social/professional connections, and mostly importantly, the person you become through this self-development process can never be taken away from you. A partner can lose to leave at any time ultimately for any reason, whether it's a rational/ ethical one or not. If you desire partnership generally, I say you want to date people who are compatible with the person you're working towards becoming, but it is on you to be discerning and become the ideal match for the partner you're desiring. Otherwise, you're placing unrealistic expectations on someone else. If the gender roles were reversed, why would a man want to date someone who doesn't have a similar perspective on life and shared values like education, remaining cultured, worldly, and fostering a well-connected network? Success relationships thrive because they're built on shared values and compatibility.

Being able to afford a trip to Paris is different than understanding the culture of the city, work by French authors who sat at the café writing their philosophical texts based on the social/political dynamics surrounding them, or the history of the 12th-century fortress that houses some of the city's most influential art & sculptural creations in the world (and the history/significance behind them, too).

So, if you don't share cultural/educational/lifestyle compatibility with a love interest, the one common link you may have is sexual attraction, and a mutual value or skillset you're likely to share is sex (which offers some sort of power and access to both individuals).

These "marry a rich man to solve your problems, but don't sleep with them until they fund your lifestyle" peddlers reek of internalized misogyny and sound like the relationship version of a "get rich quick" scheme.

If you want to have casual sex with "wealthy" men for the thrill of the experience and temporary access to their world, I say go for it if you desire to explore this curiosity. But understand these experiences should be taken at face value. These encounters don't define you as a person in any way (except for likely being physically attractive and having an extroverted personality). All relationships/sexual and romantic dynamics operate under the mutual benefit partners provide each other. Compatibility of needs – lifestyle-wise, socially, sexual, values, and education/skill-wise, etc. trump everything.

Rant over, but hope this helps for some people who are heading down this strange sugar daddy-esque rabbit hole.

Capture Beautiful Moments with a Paris Family Photographer

When you visit Paris with your loved ones, you are stepping into a world filled with timeless beauty, rich history, and unforgettable moments. Whether it’s the charm of the Eiffel Tower, the elegance of the Seine River, or the enchanting streets of Montmartre, every corner of the city offers the perfect backdrop for capturing memories. For families who want to document their Parisian adventure in the most magical way, hiring a Paris family photographer is the best decision you can make.

Why Choose a Paris Family Photographer?

A family vacation is about creating memories that last a lifetime, and what better place to do that than in Paris? The city’s romantic ambiance and cultural significance make it an ideal destination for family photoshoots. A professional Paris family photographer will not only capture the beauty of your family but also integrate the enchanting cityscape into your portraits.

Rather than relying on random snapshots or smartphone selfies, hiring a photographer ensures that every shot is well-composed and tells the story of your unique journey. You can relax, enjoy the moment, and trust that your special moments are being documented with professional care.

Perfect Locations for a Family Photoshoot in Paris

Paris is full of iconic locations that provide stunning settings for family photography. Some popular spots include:

1. The Eiffel Tower

It’s hard to think of Paris without picturing the iconic Eiffel Tower. Whether you want a casual, fun family photo or a romantic shot with the tower in the background, a Paris family photographer will know the best spots and angles to make the structure a perfect backdrop.

2. The Louvre Museum

The grand architecture of the Louvre makes for elegant and timeless family portraits. Whether you’re posing in front of the glass pyramid or in one of the many surrounding courtyards, a skilled photographer can capture both your family and the grandeur of Parisian art history.

3. Montmartre

For families looking for something more whimsical and artistic, Montmartre is the perfect neighborhood. The cobbled streets, colorful art stalls, and hidden cafés create a unique setting for family photos that are both casual and creative.

4. The Seine River

A photoshoot along the banks of the Seine provides a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere. Whether you’re taking a leisurely stroll as a family or enjoying a riverside picnic, this location is perfect for candid shots.

Each location brings its own charm and magic to your family portraits, and a Paris family photographer will guide you to the best spots based on your preferences and the lighting conditions on the day of your shoot.

Benefits of Hiring a Professional Paris Family Photographer

When you invest in a professional Paris family photographer, you are investing in memories that will last forever. Here’s why hiring a professional is worth it:

Expertise in Composition and Lighting

A professional photographer understands the technical aspects of photography, such as composition and lighting, which are crucial for creating beautiful, high-quality images. They will know how to position your family to create the most flattering shots and how to use the natural light in each setting to enhance the mood of the photos.

Familiarity with Paris

Paris is a city that offers endless photographic opportunities, but not all locations are created equal. A Paris family photographer who knows the city well can guide you to hidden gems, the best views of famous landmarks, and quiet spots away from the crowds. Their local knowledge ensures that you get the most out of your photoshoot, with unique and personalized images.

Stress-Free Experience

Planning a family trip can be hectic, and trying to coordinate a DIY photoshoot adds unnecessary stress. By hiring a professional photographer, you can focus on enjoying your time with your family while they handle the details of the shoot. Whether it’s finding the perfect location, giving posing tips, or suggesting outfit ideas, your photographer will take care of everything.

Customized and Creative Photos

Every family is different, and your photos should reflect your unique dynamic and personality. A professional Paris family photographer will work with you to create a customized photoshoot that tells your story. They can suggest poses, props, and locations that align with your vision, resulting in photos that are as creative as they are meaningful.

How to Prepare for Your Paris Family Photoshoot

To get the most out of your family photoshoot in Paris, it’s essential to do a little preparation beforehand. Here are some tips to help you make the most of your session:

1. Plan Your Outfits

Coordinate your outfits ahead of time to ensure that they complement each other and the setting. Paris is a city known for its fashion, so you might want to opt for classic, chic outfits that reflect the elegance of the city. However, comfort is key, especially if you plan to walk around during the photoshoot.

2. Choose a Time

Timing is everything when it comes to outdoor photography. The best times for natural light are early in the morning or late in the afternoon, during what photographers call the “golden hour.” This soft, warm light will add a magical touch to your photos.

3. Communicate with Your Photographer

Before your photoshoot, discuss your vision and preferences with your photographer. Let them know if you have specific ideas or locations in mind. A good Paris family photographer will take your input and work with you to create a personalized and meaningful experience.

What to Expect During the Photoshoot

Your family photoshoot in Paris should be a fun and memorable experience. Here’s what you can expect during the session:

Relaxed Atmosphere: Professional photographers aim to create a stress-free environment where your family can feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera.

Candid Shots: While posed shots are beautiful, some of the best moments are captured when you’re not posing at all. Expect a mix of posed and candid shots that showcase your family’s personality and love for each other.

Guided Poses: Don’t worry about not knowing how to pose. Your Paris family photographer will provide gentle guidance to help you look your best in every shot.

Cherishing Your Paris Memories

The photos you take with a Paris family photographer will be more than just images; they will be cherished memories that you can look back on for years to come. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply want to document your time in one of the world’s most beautiful cities, professional family portraits in Paris are the perfect way to preserve your journey.

Once you’ve completed your photoshoot, you can work with your photographer to choose the best photos for prints, albums, or even large canvas displays. These photos will not only serve as a reminder of your Paris trip but also as a lasting tribute to your family’s love and connection.

Conclusion

Hiring a Paris family photographer allows you to experience the magic of Paris in a way that is both fun and meaningful.
