Baby Steps
Summary: You and Rafe are expecting your first child and decide to take a trip to the beach, not expecting to be joined by a guest with chubby cheeks and pull ups.
-some more domesticated rafe as per your request-
The golden hues of the late afternoon sun stretch across the horizon, casting a warm glow over the beach as you and Rafe arrive. You smile at the feeling of the hot sand between your toes.
The waves lazily lap against the shore, creating a serene soundtrack to your special day. It was a beautiful day out, for sure. With the cooler gripped in one hand, with the umbrella on top, and the box containing a special mini cake in his other hand, Rafe is already in full preparation mode.
“Here, let me help with that,” you offer, but Rafe shakes his head, his grin both charming and determined. "You're already carrying something valuable, let me handle the rest, okay?" Rafe reassures you as he places the items down in a nice vacated space.
Far enough from the waves to not get wet, but close enough to still hear the water cracking against the sand at an amplified volume as the perfect white noise for you to do some beach reading. You glance down at your rounded belly, letting your left hand rest over the precious cargo he's referring to.
"I'm only four months, babe. I can still carry things. Just let me help you set up at least." You hold onto the muscle of his upper arm with a soft frown and he can't resist. An idea visibly dawned upon him. "Yeah, you know what." He props open the cooler and pulls out a chilled bottle of water, "I need you to drink this, I don't want you to get too hot."
Your eyes roll and you take the bottle, about to ease yourself down onto the beach chair when Rafe is suddenly behind you, a guiding palm on your lower back to lighten your load as you sit down. "Rafe, you're joking, right? I know how to sit down by myself." You huff and he sees you're starting to get frustrated.
He crouches down to be near you, "Look, baby. I'm sorry, okay? It's all just so new to me and I don't want anything to happen to you or the baby especially not if I can help it." Your arms unfold, and your composure melts under his apologetic gaze.
How could you be mad at him? He was just so cute and excited to be a dad, he wanted to make sure you had the safest, most comfortable pregnancy possible, and he made sure of that at all times. He set up everything while you didn't lift a finger.
You'd even slipped into a light nap as he did so. Waking up under the shade of the beach umbrella and almost certain there was an extra layer of sunscreen on your arms that wasn't there before.
Your towels laid out on the sand in front of you where Rafe knelt, the cake now put away in the cooler as he organized the supplies in the first-aid kit he insisted on bringing along.
"Is this all you're gonna do all day?" You mumble, lifting up your sun hat a bit to see him better and he smiles. "Well, you fell asleep on me, so I was keeping myself busy." Taking that as your cue to stand, leaving your hat behind on the chair and untying the flowy coverup you'd been wearing.
"I'm up now, let's get in the water." He's right behind you as your heels kick up sand with your eager steps to the ocean. Your laughs blend harmoniously in the water. Playful splashes and stolen kisses fill your afternoon for the next hour until you're ready for lunch.
Now Rafe was lounging under the shade, sunglasses covering his sky-blue eyes as he relaxed on the chair. Meanwhile, you enjoyed the warm sun kissing your skin as you sat on the towel, preparing some sandwiches for you both to share.
That brings you to now, the two of you sitting on the sandy towels with satiated appetites and a pleased smile on your faces, enjoying each other's company. "You ready now?" Rafe proposes, referring to the mini cake in the cooler which had either a pink or blue filling. You shake your head.
"Not yet, I need more time." He laughs, "At this rate, you'll find out when the baby comes." He says casually and your brow arches, "Only me? Don't you mean the both of us?" His head shakes, "Uh uh, I'm eating that cake with or without you." He jokes and you swat at him, causing him to spill some water from the bottle he was sipping before putting it away.
His attention was stolen from you and focused on something behind you, before you could even turn your head, Rafe's reflexes are shown as his arms reach out for the tumbling toddler who'd tripped over the uneven terrain and it seems she'd been running at a pace faster than her chunky legs could keep up with.
"Woah! Hey there, pudding," The nickname rolls off Rafe's tongue so naturally you hardly even recognize it, she looks up at him from within his stronghold. "Hi!" She waves and Rafe smiles so big it warms your heart to see.
"Where are your parents?" He follows up but she busies herself with the chain around his neck, blabbering the words 'Dada' in the sweetest voice you'd ever heard.
Rafe's eyes crinkle at the corners with his smile as he looks at you, mouthing the words, "She's so cute" and you mouth back, "I know," "I wonder where her parents are." You say, checking the tag on her swim top for any signs of identification but nothing. The two of you stand, the toddler hanging off Rafe's side, having the time of her life with a cheeky smile.
The two of you paced the beach, up and down. "I know her parents are worried sick," You mutter, checking your phone for any services you can contact for a 'lost baby on the beach please help!'
"If they don't come back, do you think we can keep her?" Rafe inquires and you laugh, "It's probably every parent's nightmare to hear a stranger say that as you're holding their missing child." You say, stopping in your tracks and placing your hands on your back with a sigh, worn out from all the walking.
"Are you okay?" Rafe checks in and you nod, "Maybe we should just go back and wait? Her parents might be walking around too and we keep missing them." Rafe agrees and the three of you walk back to your place on the beach, each of you holding her hand as she had insisted on being put down.
You kept her busy once you returned to your spot, building sand castles and giving her some water and sunscreen to keep her hydrated and protected from the slowly setting sun.
"How old are you?" Rafe laughs at your attempts to have full conversations with who he assumes is a two-year-old, but your guess was three. "Me Ava." She says and your eyes widen. Your initial question remained unanswered but now you had other answers.
"Ava! Hi Ava!" You coo, tickling her tummy until she's a bundle of fits and giggles, completely oblivious to the longing look Rafe has on you. "Tummy!" She says, and you laugh, not sure what she's talking about until she places a hand on your belly. "Big tummy!" She repeats and Rafe can't help but stifle a laugh at her direct observation.
"That's right. There's a baby in here." You explain but her head tilts, lost. "Baby?" You gave the soft waves of her hair a gentle pat, admiring her innocence, "That's right, it's either a girl baby or a boy baby." To your surprise, she begins chanting for a 'boy baby'. "See, Ava gets it." Rafe teases, always taking the opportunity to talk about having the boy he so desperately begs you for as if you had any say in the matter.
"Hungry," She whines and that sends Rafe digging into the cooler for snacks. You let her decide which fruit she wanted but her eye had caught sight of the mini container of cake that had been taken out in order to find the other items.
"Looks like she knows what she wants," Rafe smiles and you think about it, "We can't give her sugar, Rafe. Here, do you want some watermelon?" Her focus now is on the juicy red fruit you presented to her on a plate.
She must be fond of it, slurping up the juices and making a mess of her top. Fortunately, it was later washed off with the salt water when Rafe insisted on playing with her after she'd digested her food.
The sun was slowly beginning to set and the three of you had been lounging around for the last thirty minutes or so, when Ava made a loud shriek, "Mama!" She yelled, hopping off the towel and into her mom's arms.
Ava's mom graces you with a tight hug and a desperate stream of never-ending apologies and gratitude. She congratulated you on the little one you were expecting, confident you'd be amazing parents. "Now, what do you say to the nice people who watched you, Ava?" Her mom prompts, with what you could imagine is a very secure hold on Ava's hand, ensuring she doesn't slip away again.
"Thank you!" She beams, showing off her tiny baby teeth and you feel a twinge of sadness at the thought of her leaving. The last two hours, though chaotic, gave you the reassurance you were looking for with the whole parenting thing.
You wave them goodbye and you take a deep breath, "I'm ready," You don't have to explain anything more and you're both walking back to your spot to cut the cake. Only to see a toddler-sized footprint in it that Ava must've caused as she got up, denting the container and the contents inside smushing against its confines.
Pink.
"Wait…" You say, in disbelief, kneeling down with Rafe doing the same. "Are we-" He says, eyes misting over and you call him out, "Hey, I thought you wanted a boy." He holds you close, "I thought so too, but I'm honestly just glad it's with you." He brings you in for a kiss on your forehead. She's so loved already and she doesn't even know it.

I'm very close to the end of Veilguard and just wanted to write a bit about how happy I am about the overall vibe of the game and how much effort was clearly put in to make it feel like all three previous games.
Origins: The areas full of blight really remind me of Awakening, for how dark and gross it all is. Just really gross stuff. It makes me want to play as a Warden at some point to fully experience it all. There's also the cinematic title screens when we go to a location (fancy city shot with "Treviso" printed over it) and the brief "villain scenes" we've gotten of Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain plotting together, those are both things only Origins did.
DA2: God, everything about Dock Town is so Kirkwall it makes my heart sing. The architecture throughout the whole area, from the richest areas to the poorest, it's all a blending of Hightown/Lowtown/Darktown. Someone clearly looked at Kirkwall as a reference of a city built by Tevinter to design another city built by Tevinter and then just shined it up a lot. And of course there's Varric's narration screens, that's straight out of DA2.
Inquisition: The Crossroads and the Lighthouse of course are very reminiscent of Trespasser, but also a lot of the outdoors exploration feels like places we went in Inquisition. Especially Arlathan forest, with nugs and halla and gorgeous greenery everywhere. There were also aspects of Weisshaupt (both the fortress and the quest) that reminded me a lot of Adamant.
The music: It's not my favorite soundtrack, but it was definitely put together with the idea of bringing all three games together as well. There are moments that sound so much like each game (again, Dock Town getting that Kirkwall vibe just right) while also tying it all in together. It may not have fully won me over but it still makes me happy.
#dragon age#dragon age the veilguard#dragon age the veilguard spoilers#datv#datv spoilers#veilguard spoilers#here's to me possibly finishing the game today#i'm terrified

Listening to the Mouthwash OST, 'Speech, Speech, Speech!' in particular, and wow. I'm a little rusty on my music terminology so apologies if I phrase things wrong, but. Even if it isn't a song I would regularly listen to compared to ones like The Windows are Plastic or the main theme, I think it's my favorite of the soundtrack--everything about it reflects what Swansea's talking about in that scene so well.
At the beginning, you get this pretty simple progression of notes. This synthetic sound that makes me think of electricity, light, 'a streetlight shining in my face, 500 gigawatts power of god'. They repeat in such a way that you feel like it's rising in an emotional swell, building up into something more complex, more dramatic. Something more, that grants the sense of emotional release music often offers, that you'd be expecting during a moment like this.
And you never get it.
That tune keeps repeating until it starts to slow down, dragging itself through the ever increasing, senseless noise, until it finally just. Falls apart into it. You never get the payoff you were imagining, and by the time it's over you've nearly forgotten what that song you imagined was even like.
'You think it's all going somewhere but every failure leaves you a little more mangled than before.'

niccolo machiavelli & biagio buonaccorsi
Machiavelli's Service to the Republic, John M. Najemy
eventually I'll read Sasso's writing on Machiavelli, but even reading Najemy's summary of the text with regards to Biagio and Machiavelli's relationship made me feel unwell™ in some kind of way like. even love. what an absolute gut punch pair of words to put in the middle of a sentence. I feel fine about it!! (a lie)
The Life and Times of Machiavelli, Pasquale Villari
AND NOW. regarding the scene. the letter exchanging hands is referencing their correspondence in general, but to also how Biagio was a collaborator to Machiavelli's plans (and a little bit about how some of Machiavelli's works were copied in Biagio's hand)
Machiavelli, Leonardo and the Science of Power, Roger D Masters
and regarding the red panel with the figure getting measured, it's about how Biagio had clothing for Machiavelli made to his own measurements in Machiavelli's absence.
Niccolò’s Smile, Maurizio Viroli
#italian renaisance tag#niccolo machiavelli#biagio buonaccorsi#komiks tag#drawing tag#i had an illustration of milo murdering clodius for today but then i saw there was a poll for it so i'll save it for after the poll closes#god i feel so so so so so so normal about machiavelli and biagio (i do not)#ive always felt a lot about machiavelli but biagio makes me cry. he's just. aughhhhdhgh.#anyway based on najemy's summary of sasso's text i dont think. i agree with what sasso is saying abt their dynamic wrt#to the emotional underworking and biagio overplaying the political threats#as najemy goes to say in his follow up. other people were also warning machiavelli abt the same thing#but biagio's frustrations remind me a lot of maria's complaints as well. it's like. devotion + loyalty + trust. i think are the stronger#ties at play. eugh. EUAHDGHSHSHDGH#im going to listen to the assassins creed 2 soundtrack and be normal about everything now. good night#italian renaissance tag

So I finished the Farewell Rayashki event:
Wow, what an amazing event. Probably one of my favorites in Reverse 1999. I loved watching the story of the townspeople of Rayashki fighting back against Zeno to protect their home with the help of a down- on- her- luck researcher unfold. This was probably the first event story in this game that got me feeling emotional. I think what contributed so heavily to my enjoyment and investment in the story was how we got to familiarize with the town itself, from it’s backstory, to the lives the residents that live there.
Back before 1.8 released on global, I never had much of an opinion on Vila. All I really knew about her was that she was a top tier healer mermaid who liked talking about freedom and stuff. But man, this event story really warmed me up to her as a character. She’s such a lovely teacher for the children of Rayashki, always encouraging them to be open minded and learn new things (kinda reminds me of teachers I used to have). Vila’s also such a brave leader for the people, not afraid to speak her mind on the unfair treatment Rayashki was facing at the hands of Zeno and rousing the townsfolk to band together to find new ore to support the town. I also really liked her relationship with Windsong and how she encouraged Windsong to not give up on her dreams. And that’s not to mention her backstory of being shunned and scorned by humans and rusalka alike, yet being able to find a place where everyone could live in harmony in Rayashki. Such a great character :)
Avgust was such a cinnamon roll. Just about every appearance he made on screen was a delight to watch. He’s got such an odd yet endearing way of interpreting the world around him and that made for some excellent chemistry for him and the other characters. He’s so strange yet so cute at the same time, it’s no wonder my sibling went for him on Vila’s banner (they got Vila but not Avgust btw).
Windsong was definitely the MVP. At first I assumed she’d be like Yelan from Genshin: cool, alluring, mysterious, all the typical tropes you’d expect from a woman like her in a gacha game. Turns out she’s almost nothing like I’d expect. Windsong at first was awkward, anxious, not confident that the study of ley lines will even make a comeback due to past experiences. She was on the verge of giving up, yet throughout the story she’s able to finally prove the study of ley lines can be a valid and useful field with the help and encouragement of the townspeople. Watching her become a teacher for the kids at the school was also heartwarming to watch. Also watching Windsong tell that Zeno guy where to shove it was also pretty satisfying, seeing her developing friendship with Vila and the rest of the town was sweet, watching her slowly helping the town achieve their goals and subsequently reach her own and finally coming to her own as a researcher was so cathartic aaaAAA-
Overall, this event was incredible, thanks in no small part to the excellent writing. I absolutely love this story, and I can’t wait for it to rerun :)
#reverse 1999#farewell rayashki#god this story was so good#Almost made me cry a couple of times :#Oh yeah also the soundtrack for this event was full of bangers#Especially the main theme#I love how simple yet melancholic it feels#Fits the title extremely well#May or may not have been the reason I almost cried a couple of times but shhh don’t tell anyone#Kinda sad Rayashki’s gonna get stormed sooner or later#Because last time I checked its mostly just a normal town#Sure the main playable characters and the kids from school will be ok#Because they’re with the foundation#But what about everybody else???#man the thought of Rayashki getting erased makes me so sad :(#I don’t want them all to get thanos snapped after everything they’ve been through#Such is life 😔#Anyways enough depressing talk#go play the new event story you’re gonna love it#Thats all I got for now ok byyye

man....the uzumaki anime..............
episode 1 was brilliant. i think it had just the right amount of material for the span of time that it covered, the pacing was really well done, and the animation looked great.
and then..........episode 2. god the drop in animation quality is so damn distracting 💀every single walking or running scene just doesn't look right, the sound is straight up not in sync in a few places, the emotion from the VAs isn't at all matched up by what's shown visually, you can tell where they skimped out on animating certain beats, and shuichi just straight up doesn't look like the same character from the last episode. it looks like a different studio animated this one, which explains...pretty much everything.
i think of that one incredibly brief but striking transition from ep 1 where it's a closeup of shuichi's face and it goes from his normal face to his more freaked out face in the space of a few frames...that singlehandedly was more natural and impactful than pretty much everything in this episode.
it doesn't help that i think they overdid it with trying to adapt the material this time around. it's constantly switching plot threads in ways that don't really fit (why on earth would kirie and shuichi not stop to get kirie some nourishment right after she passes out from the hair?? why is that the best time to conclude the snail plotline?? and then immediately hopping over to the lovers plotline???)
but to its credit at least, everything on a sound/audio front is still really good! the VAs do a good job, the sound design is appropriately horrifying, and the score is still fitting and enhances the mood (that is unfortunately being killed by everything we're seeing but it tries its best 💀)
#i don't blame the second animation studio that much....they were probably paid pennies and put under tons of pressure with those delays...#at least everything uzumaki i see good or bad helps me with writing my own uzumaki + mtas fic 💀what to emulate and what to...not#btw go look at the new art for the vinyl soundtrack. done by ito himself and it's beautiful#it captures the essence of the story really well#bc underneath all the cosmic horror and apocalypse...uzumaki is a love story#uzumaki

!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#A great episode tbh especially given the low budget. I feel like they really did their very best#And even though what I'm going to say next is probably going to be all critic - because I nitpick things and that's what I always end up–#talking about - I still want to underline that it was a very solid and enjoyable episode!!!#Alright the ss/kk was so 💞💞💞 every scene I had to rewatch twice or thrice akhscbashfb they're so cute!!!#Except for the riding scene tho. That scene gives me massive second hand embarrassment every time I just wish it will end as fast as–#possible pffttt. Mmmmhhh... The drawings weren't even too bad all accounted. My main complain is about the quicksand scene...#I feel like that one should be a slow quiet emotional scene. I never licked the choice of using the song as background soundtrack :/#I feel like it ruins the mood of the scene (it was still good though)#I also... Generally don't like the direction they seem to go for with Akutagawa's character in the anime‚ he seems quite a bit flatter–#compared to how he is in the manga. He can't be angry and evil ALL the time you need to show that softness get through from time to time.#If not what even is the point of his character. Yet in the anime he's angry (and not distraught) when he loses the mine craft and he's–#angry when he's questioning Atsushi about his motifs and he's angry when he's bragging about Atsushi's abilities to Goncharov and he's–#angry when he makes the promise with Atsushi at the end of the episode and eventually he'll be just as angry even when telling Atsushi–#to run away as he's sacrificing his life for him. It is pretty flat at the end of the day.#If I can say something about K/ensho Ono without being killed I think they do contribute to making him feel angry all the time.#But that said it's all probably poor directing choices (or simply choices I don't agree with).#Also‚ about cuts. Usually I try to be lenient about it– I understand it's hard to fit in everything and b/sd already does a very–#good job by adapting the manga almost panel-by panel. It's just that... You skip Akutagawa showing compassion for Atsushi after the–#orphanage director died. You skip Atsushi sharing the same compassion when Akutagawa loses his targed in the mines chase. You skip the–#“Nothing special about that. // I suppose he's far crueler than my own mentor.” line. And sure each of them may be negligible by their own#But together they wave a consistent web of relationship between the two characters you know? And it's a loss to omit them all#Well no mind. Again it was still a great episode overall!!!!#I think the colors in the mines could have been prettier in the mines but we can't have it all#Off to season 4!!! Omg I can't believe we got this far :DDD#random rambles#FINALLY was able to catch up in time for the season 3 finale!!!!!!

help i'm listening to an orchestral arrangement of holiday by green day and i can't deal with it
#it's so disgustingly high up. the melody. that it sounds like pirates of the carribean#like. do you not get the memo to give the melody to anyone but the violins?? give it to the cellos or the trombones smh#other than that musically it's really good. BUT the reason i'm on here#is because i need someone less sleep deprived than me to queue up holiday and then more (by 5sos) and tell me is it the same chord#that holiday ends on and more (and bobd) start on??#if so. you know what i'm gonna do#i'm gonna fix this#and i'm tired enough that i feel like i can do better than anything i hear right now#was singing along to my cd in the car on the way back from orchestra and just. singing high harmonies like i'm delta goodrem#because apparently i learned everything i know from her? checks out#but the point is. that's not the main melody#in holiday. or it straight up sounds like pirates or some video game soundtrack#anyway the video is by epic orchestra. you can look it up#they didn't get the memo on how to write bass parts for orchestra apparently. fuck off i learned on teeth (song)#green day#holiday#boulevard of broken dreams#5 seconds of summer#more#silver arranges 5sos#thinking of making it some choose your own adventure between easier/more and holiday/bobd where they can swap next songs#and musically it works perfectly#help i'm listening to their bobd arrangement now and i swear it sounds like on of the triumphant end scenes from pirates#i don't watch enough movies bc it sounds generic movie soundtrack happy. which is stupid. it's boulevard of broken dreams#it's meant to be SAD. just cause it's in a major key ffs#sorry i should shut up and go to sleep#you can ask me about this later#i will post any demos that i make. you might not remember by then#because if i had the word 'soon' in my vocabulary...#just as well no one is relying on me

#im not the first to say it#and i haven't fully resolved my thoughts on it#but i still have like....this bittersweet feeling towards post 20.....13? Mike#that i still haven't fully made peace with yet#there IS something that changes in the quality of his voice and his approach to music/songwriting around that time....maybe a little before#BUT this playlist has really made me appreciate all the different directions he went starting around 1995#and of course especially after 1998#and actually i gained a real appreciation of like the 2006-2011 period#the soundtrack and zorn zorn years#and well.... everything else#like i thank this universe that mike was able to put so much out there while he really had full control over his voice#and ideas just packed into his head#i want....i really want to see where mike goes from this present moment on#hold on to yourself Mike.... we're so happy and excited for you#loving disc horse on this topic welcome#mike patton#the big listen

Does anyone else feel like Playboyy is the fever dream of like one really horny yet virginal closeted teenager who’s watched too much porn, read too many mystery novels and also like one really lousy bdsm manual from the 1980’s?
…Just me?
Okay.
#playboyy the series#I’m so confused but also like not because I think I have the Nun thing figured out already#or at least part of it#mostly I’m just confused about the choice of… everything in this show#the directing the production the product placement the soundtrack ESPECIALLY the soundtrack!#and the writing whew wow it’s a… well it’s a choice all right#it’s definitely a trash watch for me lol#don’t know if I’ll keep up with it weekly anymore but I might every once and a while when I’m bored#there really isn’t a character on this show that I actually like very much
