Mother's Day

Pairing: John x Reader Word count: 1,130

Read on AO3

John rolled over, ready to pull you close and wish you a happy mother’s day. It was your first together, and he was excited to spoil you for the day. However, he was met with you already out of bed. The more he woke up, the more the smell of breakfast registered to him. He quickly got out of bed, worried that Dean was trying to cook you something. Again. He was thankful that his 8 year old adored you, but would rather him not get hurt by cooking. 

“Baby?” John furrowed his brow when he saw you in the kitchen cooking. You were already dressed, and you already had your favorite apron on. Sam and Dean were already in the living room watching cartoons. “Why are you cooking breakfast? And what time are the girls getting here?” Your two daughters were at their father’s that weekend, and he assumed they’d be joining for mother’s day. 

You looked at him, confused. “Why wouldn’t I be making breakfast?” You asked him, shrugging a shoulder before you flipped a pancake. “I make it every morning. And I get them tomorrow after school, as always.” 

He glanced at the calender. Was it not mother’s day? “I’m supposed to make you breakfast with the kids today. It’s mother’s day, so why wouldn’t the girls be here?” He started making his way to you to take over the cooking. “How about you go relax?” 

“That doesn’t change anything.” You tried to shoo him. 

“Yes, it does. You take care of me, the boys, and the girls when they’re here. Let us take care of you for a day. I get you’ve been single the past few years, but you’re not anymore.” He rubbed your back. 

“Whether I’m single or not changes nothing. It’s just another day. I’ll get breakfast made, eat, get the dishes from breakfast done, sort some laundry, read a bit, make lunch, clean up after lun-” 

“What the fuck?” He snapped, making you jump and look at him. “You’re telling me you’ve been a mother for 11 years and you’ve never had a mother’s day off? You’ve never gotten to relax while other people take over? You’ve never had someone make you your favorite dinner?” He didn’t like that one bit. 

You shook your head. “I’ve gotten a card once or twice. Or when the kids were younger they’d bring home something from school.” You’d stopped caring, honestly. “I pick what I’d like for dinner, and I buy what I need beforehand.” 

He pulled out his wallet. “Go get yourself a manicure, a nice new dress, whatever, sweetheart.” He handed you a few twenties. “Relax, get pampered. Me and the boys are going to make this one hell of a mother’s day.” You opened your mouth to protest, but he raised an eyebrow at you, making you shut it. “We love you, and this is the first mother’s day they’ve been able to celebrate in years.” He said softly, knowing that would mean more than him telling you that you deserve it. “It’s Sammy’s first ever.” He added. 

Nodding, you handed him the spatula, and took the money. “Okay, okay.” You said softly, chuckling. “I’ll go.” 

John’s face lit up. “Good girl.” He winked, smirking as you blushed. 

You’d done exactly as John told you. You’d gotten a manicure, found a cute dress on sale, a lollipop for each kid, a box of brownie mix to make John, and a couple things for the kitchen you’d been really wanting. “I’m home!” You called out, toeing off your shoes.

“Yay!” Sammy came running to hug your legs, making you smile. “Did you have fun?” 

“I did, but I’m happy to be home! I got you something.” You crouched, setting down the bags as the other two Winchester men came in. “A lollipop for you, sweet Sammy.” You handed it to him. “And a lollipop for you, dear Dean.” You held it out, smiling when he rushed over for it. “And after these two are in bed, I got dessert for us.” You told John, standing. 

John grinned, happy you’d been able to take time for yourself. “The girls will be here about dinner time.” He informed you. “I called him and explained today is Mother’s Day, and you should get the girls for at least part of it. He finally agreed.” He left out the part he told your ex he’d give him money to take out his new wife as a treat. What could it hurt being civil? 

“Oh, John!” You hugged him. “Thank you!”

Hearing a knock at the door, John went to get it, leaving you to continue playing cards with the boys. A moment later, your 11 year old and 9 year old came running in. “Mom!” They yelled happily. 

“Girls!” You gushed, holding them both closely. “Let me finish this round of go fish with the boys, then we can all play something.” You beamed. 

“I’m gonna go start dinner, sweetheart.” John smiled from the doorway. He fell more in love with you every day, watching you with the kids. 

That night, the pair of you had made the boxed brownies, and enjoyed them with ice cream. “Thank you for today, John.” You laid your head on his chest as the pair you got into bed that evening.

“You deserve the world, sweetheart.” He kissed the top of your head. “But I was wondering if there was something I could have with you. Two things, really.”

Shifting so that you were lying on your stomach, you had an amused look on your face. “I’m sure I could agree to that if you’re thinking the same way as me.” You flirted, making him laugh.

“Oh, shit, sweetheart. I got lucky with you.” He said happily. “Not what I had in mind, but I’ll take that, too.” He licked his lips.

“So, what does my dear boyfriend wish for?”

“For starters, I don’t wanna be called your boyfriend anymore.” He started, making your face fall. “Kinda hoping I could be called your fiance?”

It took a moment for that to sink in. “Yes!” You gasped, all but jumping on him to kiss all over his face. “Wait, what’s the other thing?” You asked, sitting on his thighs, your hands on each sighed of his head.

“How’s about we have a baby of our own?” He rubbed over your thighs. “Sammy is about to start school, and I wanna see you with a little one we created.” Hell, he didn’t know if you wanted more kids, but he sure hoped you did.

You couldn’t help but smile lovingly at him. “I’d love nothing more than to have a baby with you.” You cupped his cheek, rubbing your thumb over the stubble.

been thinking a lot about whitney and my pc, whom of which is named daiki, and the idea of forced piercing. it’s sort of like his forced tattooing event, but with an ear piercing instead. huge infodump under the cut :P

it’d be right afterschool, and daiki is about to head off to do his usual money making activities (skulduggery and whatnot), but then whitney comes around and stops him at the gate. he’s sort of like “hey slut! we’ve got places to be!” and starts dragging daiki along to high street, while daiki is sort of resigned and is like “ugh, fine.”

by the time whitney drags him into the shopping centre and to the tattoo parlor is when daiki starts to get worried. sorta starts to stop in his tracks and looks over at whitney hesitantly, saying “are you making me get another tattoo…?” since daiki already has a whitney tattoo on his shoulder.

but whitney, being the little shit he is, just grins at daiki and is like “nope, even better. we’re gonna get your ears pierced, and i’ll even be paying for it. aren’t i such a good boyfriend?” (to which daiki recoils at whitney calling himself his boyfriend. they’ve got a complicated relationship to me, i’ll probably rant about that in a later date—)

and daiki becomes even more wary. tattoos are one thing, but PIERCINGS? daiki doesn’t really mind tattoos, hell, he’s already got around 3-4 on his body in various places. but a PIERCING?

“i’d rather get a fucking tattoo on my forehead than have my ears pierced,” daiki says. whitney sort of raises a brow at him and laughs, saying “you don’t have a choice.”

he pushes daiki into the tattoo parlor and at this point, daiki is heavily debating on either fighting whitney or just sprinting the fuck out of there. but in the end, he’s just like “fucking… fine.” he’ll fucking get the piercing. he’s not paying for it and he’s gone through much worse pain, what is one little earring gonna do?

20 minutes later, and boom. he’s got a piercing on one ear lobe. just one, because daiki thinks that if he gets another on his other ear, he’d actually tear up. and during the piercing process, whitney just stands there, arms crossed and smirk on his face, clearly enjoying the power he has and daiki’s reaction.

and guess what? he even picks out a stud for daiki, isn’t that cute? he’d probably pick out a black or silver stud for him, all paid with his own money. isn’t he just the sweetest thing? (cue daiki in the background fighting for his life on the piercing chair, his nails digging into the arm rest.)

by the end of it when everything is finished, they swagger out of the shopping centre, and whitney is very pleased with the end product. can’t help but check out daiki and thinking about how they sort of match how. it’s cute.

he leans in and nips at the earlobe which daiki got his piercing on, making him flinch because i know that hurts like a bitch.

“i knew you’d look sexy with a piercing. i’ll see you around, slut. don’t go taking it off, or i’ll kick your ass,” whitney says, pushing past daiki with a playful shove of the shoulder and leaving him standing on high street, wondering what the fuck he’s gotten himself into.

DEPENDS, WHO'S ASKING; MIYA OSAMU

As far as first meetings go, fighting over udon noodles is not one you thought you'd ever have.

TAGS: Pre-Relationship; First Meetings; Meet-Cute; Canon Compliant; Second Person POV

WORD COUNT: 1,002 words

NOTES: Writing in second person is really not my thing, so hopefully it's good. I think this may be the only reader fic I've ever written where Y/N or L/N isn't used.  This is just a silly little thing I wrote over a year ago. I hope you enjoy.

It’s been a long day since the soccer team practiced later than usual. Interhigh Qualifiers are coming up, and your coach wants to make sure everyone is ready. You’re only a first year, so you aren’t on first string, which you don’t really mind. You have two more years, after all.

Practice being grueling and running late leaves you absolutely exhausted, but thankfully, you don’t have to worry about your parents being upset since they work late on Wednesday. This means you cook dinner for yourself, which you like doing. Trying out new recipes is something you tend to do on Wednesday, but you’re not sure if it’ll be a new recipe night. You’re not sure what you have to eat at home, so you decide you’ll just stop by the store on the way home. There’s a simple recipe you like to make whenever you’re tired, but you know you need a couple things.

Your phone vibrates in your bag, so you pull your bag up to have easier access to it, but moving your bag results in your phone falling deeper and deeper into it. So, you’re shoving your hand past your school supplies and bento box until you finally have a hold of it. You see a couple of people looking at you, and you wonder if it might have been easier if you had stopped to take it out instead of walking at the same time. It doesn’t matter now, especially since the store is already in view.

“Oh,” you say, seeing that it was your mom who texted you. Apparently, she left money on the counter for takeout. You look up at the store and decide you might as well get some groceries while you’re here.

To: Mom

From: You

>>At the store. Do we need anything?

A long list of things is the next thing she sends. You sigh as you walk into the store and grab a basket. This is the main store your family goes to, so you know where everything is without needing to think too much about it.

“Alright, all that’s left is udon noodles,” you mumble as you look over your mother’s text again. As you make your way to where those are, hoping they have them, since the store’s popularity has grown due to a store nearby being remodeled.

There’s someone else on the aisle, a guy also wearing an Inarizaki uniform. The dyed gray hair gives away who it is; Miya Osamu. You’ve never met Osamu since he’s a year older, and most sports clubs don’t talk to each other. The boys’ volleyball club has several annoying members, so your soccer teammates say it’s better just not talking to them.

You walk down the aisle and find he’s standing in front of what you need. After a minute of standing there, you gently tap his arm. He looks at you. “Can I help you?” he asks, annoyed, which understandably so. You’d be annoyed too.

“Uh, I was wonderin’ if ya could hand me some udon noodles,” you say, and he doesn’t say anything as he stares at you. You try not to fidget, but you’re so uncomfortable. People always said that Atsumu is the “scary” twin while Osamu is laid back. You’re disagreeing right now.

“No,” he says, and you furrow your brows.

“No?”

“No,” he says, and he holds up two packages of udon noodles. “They’re mine.”

You move your head to see that there aren’t any more udon noodles on the shelf. You look back at him and bite your lip as you let out a deep breath. “Do ya really need two?”

“Yeah,” he says as he puts them in his basket. “Even if I didn’t, I’d take ‘em anyway.”

“Are ya new to this store?” you ask, and he shakes his head.

“No, I’ve been comin’ here since I was a kid.”

You point at the noodles in his hand. “Then ya know that’s all they’ve got right now.” He just stares at you. “They won’t have any more until Tuesday.”

“That ain’t my problem,” he says, and you bite the inside of your cheek.

“Why’re ya bein’ an ass?” you ask, and you don’t know why you kept going. Maybe it’s because practice had been awful. Or maybe because your mom stressed wanting udon noodles. “Ya don’t need both of ‘em.”

“How do ya know that?” he asks, and you clench your jaw. “Maybe I need more than two and I’m settlin’ cause there’s no more.”

You roll your eyes. “I doubt that’s it.” It’s quiet as you two stare at each other. At this point, you can’t just back down. “I’ll pay you for it.”

Osamu blinks. “What?”

“I’ll pay you for the noodles.” You pull your wallet out of you bag far easier than you had pulled your phone out. “I’ve got the cash.”

“I’m not doin’ that,” he says, and you huff.

“Why not?”

“Cause I got here first.”

“Doesn’t mean ya’ve gotta be greedy!”

Osamu looks you over before shaking his head a little. “Ya know what? I’m just goin’ go. I hope ya get noodles next time.”

He turns and starts walking away. You clench your wallet in your hand. “I won’t forget this, Miya-senpai!”

He looks back at you with wide eyes. “You know who I am?”

You nod. “I also go to Inarizaki, and I’m not gonna forget this.”

“What’re ya gonna do?” he asks with an amused smirk, and you straighten your posture completely.

“I’m gonna buy all the udon noodles whenever I come here so you can’t have any of them!”

Osamu stares at you, shocking and not knowing how to respond, before chuckling slightly. You hate that he has a nice smile and laugh. “Good luck with that.”

He hurries down the aisle before you can say anything else. You throw your wallet on the ground as you grumble a little. Your teammates are right. Inarizaki boys’ volleyball club does have some annoying members.

speaking of cute clothes have we discussed putting jace in a wedding dress yet

We haven’t but god to we need to 🤧 I’m gonna skip the proposal because I’ll spiral if I think about who proposed to who and how it happened and what sappy shit they said. Like it’ll destroy me.

So just imagine Jace laying in bed with Porter and going “I think I’m gonna wear a dress for our wedding.” And Porter is practically drooling at the thought. He’s so superstitious about things so he’ll try his best to avoid asking to go dress shopping with him but he wants to SO BAD. So instead, Jace gathers his bestie squad of Zara, Corsica, maybe Yolanda too for her insight. They do it up big, they’ve got champagne to sip on, hors d'oeuvres to eat and they’re giving Jace the yes’s and no’s of what works and what doesn’t when he finally steps out of the dressing room in THEE dress. He’s used to wearing flowy robes when he goes back to fallinel so I’d imagine he wears something in that camp. But also something sleek and elegant with gold details to match his eyes. He’s already pale, so he goes for a cream instead of a white so he doesn’t look completely washed out in photos. He would look incredible in anything that accentuates his waist. He also loves a v neck so I’m taking that into consideration too 🤧 A slip dress or a mermaid gown would suit him really well! Also something with a slit so he can show off his long legs (and easy access for Porter later if he chooses not to have a separate dress for the reception)

Pictures & thoughts under a read more bc long post:

1. Simple, elegant a little boring though. But I have to take you on a journey. We’ll get there I promise.

I think this is a dress that everyone (including Jace) would agree doesn’t have enough flare. He could over accessorize to compensate but that’s more hassle and more money when he could just find THEE dress. I also don’t think it would entirely flatter his shape and baby boy deserves to have a dress that fits so right in all the right places while emphasizing his best features (waist, chest, legs)

2. This gown is so gorgeous, so flowy! I love the lace on it and I think the deep v is elegant and tasteful while showing off his chest. The back- oh my god does he deserve a train. It’s perfect for a spring or fall wedding it’s dramatic but sweet. It reminds him of a lighter weight version of something he’d wear in Fallinel. He’d pair it with some really beautiful gold jewelry and to match the wedding bands he and Porter picked out for the ceremony.

3. This one just might be one of my favorites actually! Loooove the deep v that stops above the navel. LOVE. I also can’t get enough of the mesh with the beading the looks like it’s just floating on the skin. The train isn’t overly dramatic. It’s sweet, it’s tasteful. There’s no slit here but he doesn’t mind it. The back is what really sells it for me bc 1. I know Jace’s ass would look in-CREDIBLE in it and 2. Porter would tease Jace so much by running his fingers along his exposed back. They’d have to fight so hard not to sneak off somewhere to fuck. They’re so insufferable!

4. Now THIS is my drama pick. I- Jace would look incredible in this. He can move in it, he can dance in it. It’s BACKLESS. All of the detailing and the silks. The drapery at the top is also really really beautiful. I love the slit and the neckline like- it really looks made for him. It makes me wonder if he’d grow his hair out a little longer for the look so he can have beading and different things pinned to match. I also love that from the back it almost looks like a jumpsuit. It also feels very true to his character art for Junior Year with how he draped his scarf. It’s just.. I think it’s THEE dress. When he looks at himself in the mirror he tears up a bit. The thought of getting married didn’t quite feel real until he sees himself in this and just knows this is the one he wants to marry the love of his life in.

Blind Date Event ~ Cavendish X Reader

Thank you to everyone who submitted applications for my Blind Date Matchmaking Event. I hope you enjoy these lovely bedtime stories during this week of overpriced chocolates, flowers and heart shaped things. @sabo-has-my-heart I hope you enjoy your date and it definitely did not have me simping pathetically for the Beautiful Pirate🤫🥺

Mostly fluff, SFW, Cavendish X Female reader, first blind date experience. WC:1.4K. Minors DNI - my content is for mature audiences only

Cavendish knocked on your door, arriving punctually for your date together. He was dressed in a billowing button down paired with black pants, a rose belt buckle hung neatly where the shirt tucked. He looked handsome, ravishing even; you weren’t 100% sold on the hat though.

He did one of those fancy handshakes where he daintily raises your hand in front of him while he bows his head. Exclaiming how thrilled he was to be your date and that he was taking you to the hottest rooftop bar in the city. He led you to his white, polished Ford Mustang convertible. You noticed a small bumper sticker on the corner of his back bumper: Hell hath no fury like a Shagya Arabian stallion.

“I’ve got to be honest; I don’t know what a Shagya Arabian is.”

Cavendish’s eyes widened before a smile came over his face. His favorite topic. A horse boy through and through.

It was quite cute how passionate he was about the subject. It stemmed from his childhood horse who was now much older and past his prime. You were surprised to know that his deep knowledge of equines didn’t stop there. No, Cavendish loves all animals.

He comes from old money so he decided to start a non-profit rehabilitation center. At first it was to rehab injured equestrians, which expanded to treat donkeys, deer, and eventually his center became overburdened with animals in need that he expanded again. To several different counties and states, all specializing in different animal needs. To say you were impressed!

The ride to the bar was fairly quick and he opened your doors and pulled out the seat for you, always a gentleman. While you waited for your orders to be cooked, you sipped on decorated cocktails as you got to know each other.

You held the matchmaking pamphlet in your hands, “Cavendish what are your three biggest deal breakers?”

He took a sip of his gin and tonic, “I would say intentional cruelty to animals, cheating, and denim on denim wearers.” You giggled at that. “What about your three dealbreakers, _______?”

You swirled your Mai Tai, “controlling tendencies, cruel personalities, and excessive laziness.”  

You shared your meals with each other on appetizer plates; he has a thing about his food mixing together. He listened intently as you shared more about yourself. Things like your hobbies, passion for cooking, favorite book and movie genres, even your bucket list.

“Overall, I like to believe I am laid back. I enjoy a night in as much as I enjoy trying something new,” you took a break to finish your meal, having talked through most of the meal.

“That’s great to know, _____. I’m glad to hear you like trying new things. See, I chose this bar not just because the food reviews were good, but because this bar is partnered with the art studio next door. This week they’ve put on an immersive Van Gogh experience that I thought we could do after dinner. The fun part is, to get to the show you can only enter through the rooftop bar. Look over there,” he pointed to a tall, curtained entrance.

“Past those curtains is a hallway made entirely of glass to get to the art show. I heard its quite exhilarating, being able to see the streets from 20 stories high; the sight allows you the most exquisite view of the city especially during sunset, which is in,” he checked his watch, “about 40 minutes.”

You were stunned. The date was thoroughly planned; you were expecting a nice dinner date at best but Cavendish was really going all out with making it an experience. You smiled at him, sharing your excitement at the plan while you received another round of drinks and the dessert menu.

The dinner date was refreshing. Your first impression of Cavendish was a rich boy who probably put forth 40% of effort to get what he wanted, if money couldn’t buy it for him right away. You were pleased at how thoughtful he was. With how passionate he was about his life’s work and how much of a gentle soul he seemed to be.

Cavendish carefully spooned his ice cream into his mouth, letting the flavor mix with the piece of apple pie he had already taken a bite of. Watching his face turn into one of delighted pleasure from the dessert. It was…so cute you blushed a little. He noticed and he cast his eyes downward, a quiet chuckle escaping him.

“______, I am enjoying my time with you. There is something I would like for you to know and, I would understand if you decided not to move forward with another date after tonight once you hear it. I just…” he looked nervous, “I hope you do not judge me too harshly.”

You nod your head at him, encouraging him to continue.

“I—“, he paused, resentment and shame crossed his features for just a moment. “I suffer from somnambulism, a sleepwalking and night terrors disorder.” His eyes were shadowed now.

“That’s not all…,” his knuckles were white from how hard he was clutching his glass. “I also suffer from Dissociative Identity Disorder, and it is usually triggered during by my night terrors. Sometimes I can get violent during the worst of them. I don’t have as many episodes as I used to. I am in therapeutic treatment for both my conditions and I take medication for the sleep disorder. I just wanted to be upfront with you. I don’t want you to think I was hiding it from you or leading you on in any way,” he finally braved a glance at you.

“Oh,” you let out softly. Never before had you met a person be so honest about his own shortcomings and faults. It was admirable. “I think its brave that you shared that with me, especially during a night where we’re learning about each other to see if we’re compatible.” You smile softly.

“I can promise I won’t judge you for it. Not many people can admit they have issues and even less try to address them. I sincerely appreciate your honesty, though I won’t say right away that I’d like a second date but its not because of your disorders,” you soothe, taking another drink.

“It’s because I’m curious to see how the rest of our night goes,” you raise your glass to him. “I signed up for this event because I wanted to take a chance at finding someone. You did too. So Cavendish, what do you say we go enjoy that exquisite view and continue our date?”

His gorgeous blue orbs widened at your statement, a crooked smile growing on his face.

“Well said, _____. I appreciate your openness and kindness. To the rest of our date then,” he clinked his glass against yours in a toast.

The hallway was both thrilling and anxiety inducing, causing you to hold on to Cavendish as you walked across the glass floor. He fit the gentleman role perfectly, soothing you as he held you. The museum was breathtaking and you lost track of the time as you explored each room. By the time you were looking at the last installation, you nuzzling intimately against his body while he had his arm around your shoulder. You were actively disappointed the night had to end.

Cavendish walked you to your front door, holding your art gallery bag full of prints and goodies he had purchased for you. As you fiddled with the key in your lock, you gave him a bashful look.

“I had a really nice time tonight. I do want that second date, if you enjoyed my company as much as I think you did,” you spoke in a hushed tone.

He was sweet, lifting your hand in his, pressing a soft kiss to your knuckles.

“It would be my honor. Do you want me to surprise you or do you want to plan it together?”

“I think I would like to help plan the next one. Can’t let you be the one who shocks and amazes me all the time,” you flirt. “If you’re free this weekend, would you like to meet up for coffee and discuss it in more depth?”

His smile was radiant, “absolutely. But I’m counting it as a mini date, _____!” His heart started racing when you giggled, nodding in agreement.

You stood on your tip toes and pressed a kiss to his cheek, “I can’t wait.”

Dawn had always been quite reserved when it came to spending money, after all she didn’t have much to go by. However she’d garnered the attention of a quite strikingly handsome man willing to be her sugar daddy as she’d been posting lots of her cute transition pictures online. She’d never done anything sexual for money before but she thought the idea was quite enticing as the man was local and her big drop in libido from estrogen had made her almost asexual and it saddened her. They met up over a coffee and David the sugar daddy could not stop complimenting her for how she looked in real life. She felt overwhelmed with the amount of attention as she’d never received much before her transition at 18. After a bit of getting comfortable they decided to meet at his place, big luxurious apartment with a very spicy bedroom. In exchange for posing in sexy lingerie on David’s bed Dawn would be given a very pretty dress she’d been eying for a while along with a couple hundred dollars. The shoot went very well and she got butterflies in her stomach from David's encouragement. Many weeks would go by before they’d eventually meet again, but before then Dawn found herself quite bored and just eagerly anticipating the next meet. As she felt like quite the high value girl one day she decided to order in some proper food to celebrate, as she felt she was too good to be making food for herself right now. She ordered fancy sushi takeout delivery and plenty of it, and the taste and amount was something she’d not been prepared for. After never having bothered with fancy food before growing up dangerously middle class, she felt overwhelmed by how good everything was. She finished all of it feeling super satisfied with herself, and thought maybe there’s some merit to food that costs almost 50 dollars after all. Her next meet with David happens and instead of just doing lingerie photoshoots she agrees to have sex with David for a fair bit extra cash, after all he was quite the looker and had been really nice to her this entire time. When she gets back home she’s over the moon and simply can’t wait for the next time they meet up. However this would be another couple weeks from now and Dawn couldn’t help but be really bored and feeling quite lazy in the meantime. She thinks to herself “Hmm.. you know with how much money I have now I could start ordering in more food regularly. It’s not that much more than cooking my own.” And so she did, she started eating in basically every day because why would such a pretty girl like herself need to cook her own food? One day she notices “oh shit, I’m almost out of money.. when’s the next time I meet David..? Ah thank god, it’s in two days!” She meets up with David in her pretty dress that he bought her. He doesn’t say anything but thinks to himself that it might’ve looked a lil better on her a month ago, but she was still super pretty so it was probably just his imagination. Dawn and David keep meeting up and Dawns spending habit becomes worse. This time though, she overspends before she can meet David. She thinks it’s probably fine she’ll just eat quite a bit less for the next couple days, but then she realizes her hormone prescription hadn’t been picked up yet this week. She panics a little and realizes she ran out yesterday and now can’t afford her pills considering they’ve gone so much up in price recently due to shortages. She calms herself and thinks “oh well.. what’s a few days of no hormones gonna do..? I’ll just be more careful next time”. After three days of no testosterone blockers though her body has made a decent noticeable amount of T, and the first thing she notices is how horny she gets. She just can’t contain herself for when she meets David and for the first time in years decides to jerk off on her own. The day she meets David she’s basically feral and they have such amazing sex together, although David definitely notices the few pounds she’s put on by now. Most of it’s seemingly going to her hips and ass though so he’s not complaining.

End of part 1.

Kirk’s seen him before.

It’s dark and raining outside, the shop dimly lit when two familiar faces walk in. One of them is a regular, frizzy hair that’s shaved at the sides, round glasses propped onto his nose. He usually buys a few comics, and Kirk had managed to glance at his credit card the last time he scanned it. His name’s Jason, always buys the marvel comics.

He’s usually alone, but sometimes he’s not.

Sometimes he brings someone with him.

Like now. The other guy is smaller, brown hair sweeping past his shoulders, a bushy fringe just touching his eyebrows.

The both of them stick out like a sore thumb in Kirk’s niche little comic book shop, dressing like they’ve just come from a game of tennis or badminton or something, and one things for sure, with the amount of comics Jason buys, they’re rich as fuck.

Kirk flicks through the comic on his desk but his eyes don’t stray from the heads weaving between the aisles.

That is, until his manager’s shouting at him from the floor above to restock one of the shelves.

He sighs, grabbing the box under the desk before trekking over to the half empty shelf in the corner.

He’s about half way done when there’s a tap on his shoulder.

“Excuse me?”

Kirk turns his head, only to be face to face with the smaller dude. He’s got sunglasses on. Inside. It makes Kirk shrink slightly.

“Can you come serve my friend? He’s desperate to get home.”

His voice is soft, light, and it soothes Kirk’s demeanour a little. He nods, dropping the remaining comics back into the box before heading over to the till.

“D’ya own this place?”

Kirk huffs a laugh, shaking his head.

“No, man. I’m just the small guy.”

“Oh.”

The guy sounds surprised.

Kirk manages to slide behind the till, finding the big stack of comics on the desk Jason’s put there.

“Is that all of them?” he says, can’t help the slight sarcasm in his tone as he pushes his glasses up.

Jason bites his lip, eyes wondering back around the shop.

“No, that’s it. He’s got enough,” the smaller guy interrupts, nudging Jason’s arm a little.

Jason just laughs, and Kirk nods, scanning each comic carefully.

Jason hands him his card after a while, and Kirk can feel the other guy’s eyes on him, even behind the sunglasses.

Kirk scans the card and puts the comics in a bag before handing them to Jason with his usual customer service small.

Jason smiles back, maybe a little too widely, before practically bounding out the shop.

Kirk looks down at the finance sheet, jotting down the total and whatever.

“Hey are you okay?”

Kirk stops midway through writing the numbers out and looks up.

The other guy’s still here, and he’s pushed his sunglasses ontop of his head. His eyes are a light green under the artificial light, deep and imploring. Kirk feels his cheeks heat as he gets a good look at the guy’s face and realises he’s hot. Like really fucking hot.

Kirk clears his throat.

“Yeah. I’m okay. Why?”

The guy blinks at him before saying “you just look tired.”

Kirk laughs a little at that, shaking his head as he finishes writing out the total.

“I’m fine. Long day is all.”

The guy smiles, teeth white and sharp, all perfectly even beneath plump lips. Kirk can’t help but think about what they’d feel like against his own.

He curses himself internally, knows well enough not to get involved with customers.

“I was just wondering if you wanted to go get coffee or something,” the guy says, smiling a bit sheepishly. His fingers are inches away from Kirk’s arm.

Kirk’s breath hitches.

“I can’t,” he says. “I’ve got to finish my shift.”

He feels bad, especially when the guy’s face drops a little.

“But I finish at six,” he quickly says before the guy can think he’s turning him down.

He gets a wide, dumb smile in return, teeth brimming, and Kirk feels a flutter in his chest.

“I live up the street. Number 82. You can meet me there if you want.”

The guy nods, reaches out the mere inches between them to lightly squeeze Kirk’s wrist.

“I’ll pick you up at seven then.”

Kirk nods, not quite trusting his voice. This can’t be real. No one’s ever hit on him this smoothly and quick before, and it just had to be the hottest guy Kirk’s ever seen.

“I’m Lars, by the way.”

Kirk just nods again, pressing his lips together slightly.

“I’m Kirk.”

Lars nods, his smile never leaving, dimpling his cheeks.

“I’ll see you later, Kirk,” he says before leaving.

Kirk has to take a deep breath to keep from smiling like an idiot.

— —

The nerves don’t quite set in until he gets home and realises he’s only got an hour.

James is already home, washing dirt and oil off of his arms in the sink when Kirk barges into the bathroom, unceremoniously dropping himself on the closed toilet lid.

James pauses, hand under his armpit.

“What the fuck’s wrong with you?”

Kirk groans, hides his face in his hands.

“I’ve been asked out on a date.”

James suppresses a laugh. “A what?”

“A date. With a guy.”

James smirks, rubbing patches of engine oil off of his fingers.

“Why is this a bad thing? You been single for how long?”

“Don’t remind me,” Kirk moans, peeking through his fingers.

“Then why are you sulking?” James asks, splashing water over his face. He’s still got his jumpsuit on, but the top half is tied around his waist showing a white wifebeater underneath. It’s practically grey with the amount of filth on it. It makes Kirk grimace.

“Because,” Kirk sighs, leaning back against the toilet. “This guy is like, fucking hot… like’s he’s way out of my league.”

“Don’t flatter yourself,” James mumbles, itching engine oil out of his sideburns.

“I mean it,” Kirk says, sounding rather petulant. He can’t help it, he’s having a crisis. “This guy is hot and rich, what if he expects me to pay for dinner?”

James lifts an eyebrow, but looks mostly unbothered by Kirk’s statement.

“James, I can’t even buy us dinner never mind someone else. And what if it’s a fancy restaurant? I don’t own anything but ripped jeans and T-shirts.”

James sighs, pulling the plug in the sink before wiping his face with Kirk’s towel. Kirk’s clean towel. It smears brown. Kirk deflates.

“That was my towel.”

“Oops.”

James pulls the rest of his jumpsuit off, bundling it into a pile before throwing it over Kirk’s head into the laundry bag.

“Kirk, you’re a real dumb fuck sometimes, you know that?”

Kirk frowns. James sighs.

“If this guy doesn’t like you for you, why would you wanna go out with him in the first place?”

Kirk considers that. It does make sense, but that doesn’t mean he’s gonna feel comfortable looking so dorky next to a sex god.

“Keep talking like that and I’ll start to think you have a brain in there.”

James squints, gives him the finger.

“Now go get ready, I’ve got to shower.”

Kirk goes to tell him he’s not sure he’s ready for this when James pull his boxers down, leaving his bottom half stark naked.

Kirk shrieks. “Dude, you could’ve waited until I was out of here.”

James shrugs, pulling the wifebeater over his head. “I did say.”

“Fuck you,” Kirk manages as he practically legs it out of there, hearing James cackle behind him.

— —

By the time seven comes around, Kirk’s managed to get himself into such a state that he’s beet red and slightly hyperventilating when the door bell rings.

He’s managed to change into a pair of jeans that have the least rips in and a Discharge tshirt that he’s sure is at least mostly clean. He’d been in such panic that he couldn’t even put his contacts in, hands shaking too much for him to get the lenses in his eyes, so he’s stuck with his stupid fucking glasses and doesn’t that just make him feel sexy.

He sighs anyways, grabbing one last look in the mirror before opening the door.

Lars stands on the other side, smiling softly.

He looks nice, black jeans and a black tee with a suit jacket hugging his frame nicely. His hair isn’t nearly as wild as Kirk’s; it’s tamed neatly, swaying just past his shoulders.

Kirk stutters a little, feeling a bit underdressed.

“You look nice,” he manages to say after a moment. Lars’s cheeks go pink, and his eyes flick to the floor.

“Thank you,” he says, before looking back up again.

“You don’t look to bad yourself.”

Kirk grins, follows Lars down the steps onto the street.

“D’you know where we’re going?” he asks, and Lars nods, hooks Kirk’s arm into his own.

“Just follow me.”

They find a quaint little coffee shop in the high end of town. Kirk doesn’t come here very often, and he’s definitely not seen this shop before, but he follows Lars in cautiously, picking slightly at his nails, panic starts to settle over him again.

Lars asks him what he wants, but Kirk doesn’t really know what to say, anxiety making his mind go blank, so he shakily shrugs.

Lars orders him a latte before leading him to a table in the corner.

“It’s okay, yknow. I’m not gonna bite.”

Kirk at least cracks a smile at that, lets Lars cradle his hands in his own.

“You’ve got such a lovely smile.”

Kirk flushes, ducks his head a little. Lars gives a light laugh, squeezing his hands gently.

It feels like they talk for hours after that. Lars talks about being a tennis player, how it kind of sucks to be famous sometimes. Kirk didn’t even realise he was famous. He’s not really into the tennis scene.

Kirk tells him about his favourite comics and how he shares a house with his best mate.

Their conversation is easy and sweet, and Kirk finds himself ploughing through another three coffee’s, thankful for the buzz it gives him.

Eventually they’re interrupted, a short woman telling them it’s closing time.

Lars smiles at her, before turning to Kirk.

“D’ya wanna split the bill?”

Kirk glances down at the empty coffee cups between them and swallows.

“Sure.”

The woman tallies up their order.

“That will be $25.26, hun.”

Kirk’s eyes practically bug out of his head. That’s nearly 12 bucks. He can’t afford that. He doesn’t even have five in his pocket.

“I don’t… I can’t-“

Lars interrupts him, handing the woman the cash.

“Keep the change,” he says to her, before she leaves them alone.

Kirk blinks, feeling shame creep over him, shadowing the lovely night they’ve had.

“I’m sorry,” he says as he gets up. He can’t look at Lars.

But then his hands are taken and he looks up. Lars just shakes his head.

“It’s my fault. Don’t worry about it.”

Kirk bites his lip. He wants to believe that, but people before have held this kind of thing against him.

Lars’s lips part, stepping forward.

“Can I kiss you?”

Kirk just stares at him for a moment before nodding his head, feeling stupid as words betray him.

But then Lars’s lips are pressed against his own, full and soft, and Kirk can’t help but swoon, hands coming up to grab at the lapels of Lars’s jacket. Lars’s hands circle his waist, pulling him in closer as he licks across his bottom lip.

After a moment, Kirk pulls back, breathless but happy, and Lars beams.

Kirk lets the adrenaline take over for a minute, especially as they stayed encased in each other’s arms, and he says, “d’ya wanna come back to mine?”

Lars smirks, pressing another kiss to Kirk’s lips.

“Thought you’d never ask.”

Dragon Ball Super 084

It’s Kriller Time.

Here’s a cute shot of Krillin doing his day job.  There’s other stills from this episode, but you can’t beat this one of him helping a cat out of a tree. 

So last time, Goku and Gohan agreed to recruit Krillin, Android 18, and Android 17 for their team.  They approach K18 and lay out the Tournament of Power, minus the whole “losing universes will get erased thing.”

Krillin’s skeptical because he just got back into martial arts, and an event like this sounds like it’d be way out of his league, but 18 tells him to do it, if only to justify the home gym he just bought.  If he’s not going to participate in wild stuff like this, then what was the point?

But 18 refuses to join the team herself, because there’s no money in it.  So Goku makes up a whole thing about the winning team getting 10 million zeni.  That’s only 1 million when you split it ten ways, though.  Oh, then it’s 10 million per person.  Honest. 

I gotta say, all these characters look gorgeous in this episode.  Awesome stuff.

I mean look at this close-up of 18!  Bellissimo!

18 is suspicious, but she can’t turn down 10 million zeni.  So they’re both in, except Gohan wants to test Krillin out first.

So they fly out to some islands that they can use as a ring, and spar there.  Meanwhile, 18 grills Goku about that prize.  He swears it’s 100 million zeni.  Wait, you said 10 million before.  Uh.... uh...

Krillin vs. Gohan goes pretty much how you’d expect, but Krillin breaks away and flies between Gohan and the sun, then busts out his new technique: 100x Solar Flare! 

It’s so intense that Gohan can’t even sense Krillin’s ki energy, allowing Krillin to slip behind him and knock him off the island. 

So Krillin passes the audition, and now Goku wants a turn, so they change venues to...

THE SATAN BUILDING

I can’t really do this fight justice, but I’ll try to describe it.  Krillin unloads on Goku, firing lots of ki blasts and Destructo Discs.  Goku can dodge them all, but it leaves him vulnerable. 

Krillin goes in for a punch, and while Goku blocks it, when he lowers his arms he finds Krillin has hidden himself.

And while he does find Krillin and manages to flush him out, he played right into Krillin’s hands.  Because not all of those Destructo Discs were aimed at Goku.  He used one to cut a hole in the helipad they’ve been fighting on, and when Goku moves into position, it gives way underneath him. 

So Goku powers up to Super Saiyan Blue...

And Krillin doesn’t back down.  Because Krillin has big brass balls. 

What’s better than this?  Guys bein’ dudes.

So Krillin holds out pretty impressively, but 18 knows he’s bitten off more than he can chew.  But in the Tournament of Power, he wouldn’t be fighting alone, so 18 jumps in to make the save, and kicks Goku’s blast away. 

They agree to double-team Goku to continue the match, or he can bring in Gohan if he wants to even things up.  But instead Goku stops it there, and admits that he learned something from this.  He hadn’t considered the teamwork angle of this, and that might have cost him dearly if he’d gone into the Tournament without that in mind.

But since he stopped the match, Marron concludes that this makes her parents the winners.  Goku’s like “Now hold on a minute!”   You’re not fooling anyone here, Goku.  You’re a loser.  The little kid said so, and they know what’s up.

Oh, right, and Goku asks 18 where he can find 17.  All she knows is that he’s working at an animal sanctuary, but he never said where it was, and she never asked. 

Anyway, this episode ruled.  I’ve said a lot of uncharitable things about this stretch between Zamasu’s death an the actual start of the Tournament of power, and I do stand by it, but there are some good episodes in all of this.  I just find many of them to be pointless, as they advertise an event I was already sold on way back in 2013, when Beerus first told Goku that there were 12 universes.  You don’t have to do a four episode saga about the search for 17.  Goku could just look him up in the Yellow Pages. 

But I am glad that they made good use of the characters in this one.  If we’re going to have a long stretch like this, at least some good stuff came out of it.

vro0m’s rewatch - 137/310

2014 Austrian GP

Alright. Round 8 of angst season n°1.

Oh something quite unexpected happened in quali.

Quali report. It's been more than 10 years since they've been here. The circuit is short so it comes down to little things. The Redbulls struggled with their balance. Daniel pushed through and qualified 5th in the grid but Seb didn't even make it out of Q2. Alonso went wide and almost hit a wall but made it into Q3. He's 4th. The Mercedes were 0.6 ahead of everybody on the softs in Q1 but they struggled later on on the supersofts. Lewis ran wide on his first hot lap. His time was erased for exceeding track limits. Nico ran wide somewhere else, which also hurt his time a bit. Guess who was doing better than them? The Williams! After the first series of hot laps, it was Valtteri on pole, but he ran wide himself on his second run, while Lewis locked his brakes and spun, in a rare mistake. So he didn't set a time at all and starts 9th. Ironically, that meant Nico had to slow down because of yellow flags, preventing him from snatching pole from Bottas. But in the end, plot twist, it was his own team-mate Massa who pushed him down. 

Lewis starts P9 then. He says the usual. It's gonna be a tough race but they have a great crowd. There's not a lot of options to overtake but he's sure he'll find places to do so. There's almost 100'000 people there and he says it's great to see so many people. 

Massa has his son with him in the driver parade, so cute! 

There's a segment about RBR being the most successful team in the history of the sport in their 10 years at that point. At the time they had most race wins, most WDCs and most WCCs, and the highest win percentage. It makes me think of all the hate Mercedes got for being dominant after that lol. Some dude (Michael Schmidt from auto motor und sport) says once they became successful they changed. Now they're acting like a manufacturer, they are a manufacturer as far as money and influence go. They're not the easy-going team anymore. "Once they started winning consistently they realised they could use their power to change the sport in a way… in their way." (And clearly it hasn't changed since then has it?) 

Niki got to drive around the track in a '96 Ferrari. He says he got in the car and found all the switches right away. He was amazed how long you remember how to operate these cars. He's very happy that F1 is back in Austria. He says it's gonna be a difficult race for Lewis in particular. Especially the first lap and avoiding collisions. It'll be a bit easier for Nico but the Williams have better straight line speed than them so it's going to be interesting. But nevertheless he thinks Nico has a chance to make the best out of this situation, "and Lewis has to fight."

Reminder : Nico leads the WCC 22 points ahead of Lewis, who's had 2 DNFs so far. 

Alright it's time for the race. 

Formation lap 

And they're racing! 

Rosberg gets a great start and he's immediately ahead of Valtteri. Lewis overtakes Raikkonen. A couple of cars go wide in the first corner. Lewis is absolutely flying! Already in P5, fighting Alonso for P4, it's only been like three corners! Amazing baby! But wait, Valtteri is back in P2, when did that happen? AND LEWIS OVERTAKES ALONSO WOW we even got a "and there goes Lewis Hamilton!" absolutely yelled, Crofty must have hurt his throat yelling like that lol. That's the first lap! Massa, Bottas, Rosberg, Lewis, Alonso, Magnussen, Raikkonen, Hulkenberg, Ricciardo, and Kvyat for the top 10. 

Ohhh and Seb is slowing down… he's lost drive… he's desperate over the radio… damn. For some reason it's always him… he's still going but like I can walk faster than that. We see him trying stuff with the steering wheel and then throw his hands in the air and shake his head.

I feel so sorry for him. Yellow flags. He's stopped and the others are going past him. Then he goes again?! Normal speed?! But he's just joined back in the middle of the pack it makes no sense lol. Of course he's a lap down. On the radio he says "okay for some reason I got drive again." 

Lewis is only half a second down on Nico, who's only 0.7 behind Bottas, himself only 0.8 behind Massa. Cue the DRS. Daniel can't use whatever boost and can't use it for the rest of the race. Lewis drops back to 0.9 behind for some reason but they're still within DRS range of each other. There's also a 4-way battle for P8 between Hulkenberg, Kvyat, Ricciardo and Perez. Seb is also told not to use the overtake button. It seems they're having electronic problems and that's what caused the earlier issue. Rosberg is now 1.2 seconds down on Valtteri and then out of his DRS range. Lewis 0.7 behind. 0.4. 0.2! Not quite there yet… the supersofts are already graining… and it's lap 10.

Hulkenberg pits for the softs. And now it's Magnussen, Ricciardo, and Kvyat. Nico pits. 2.6 stop, out in P8. Kvyat might be an unsafe release… Lewis doesn't come in. The Williams don't come in. Lewis gained over 1 seconds on Valtteri in the last lap. He's already on his tail. Rosberg overtook Jenson for P7. And there's a car stopped in the pitlane! It's Gutierrez. He's being rolled back to the box. Lewis pits. 3.5?! Seriously… it's always so much slower for him than Nico… and yep. Rosberg stays ahead. Massa is called in. Oh yeah, one of Gutierrez' wheel wasn't on. Massa is in. Mmmmh… he's behind Nico, but ahead of Lewis. BUT HERE HE COMES DOWN THE INSIDE LATE BRAKING AND HE PASSES HIM!!! ROSBERG OVERTAKES RAIKKONEN FOR P3, AND LEWIS OVERTAKES HIM FOR P4! Valtteri pits! EXCELLENT 2.1 STOP! Great job from the Williams' mechanics! Raikkonen pits as well! Valtteri is out AHEAD OF LEWIS! BUT AGAIN, BOTTAS GOES WIDE AND LEWIS TAKES THE INSIDE! Ah it's just a bit too much, he can't make it yet! Gutierrez is under investigation for that unsafe release. Now Rosberg is closing on the lead, currently held by Perez. The top 5 gaps are all under a second. Perez is told to not go too defensive against Rosberg as they're not really racing the lead. Lewis is told the brakes are "over the limit" and to manage. 

It's lap 20. Lewis is putting Bottas under pressure. He attacks! But it's too early. Aaaaah… aaahhh… Bono says he can have a few tries "but use it wisely, we aren't safe" (understand : as far as fuel goes). He has to make it count. Seb pits. He's dead last of course. Another message. "Okay Lewis, I know the position you're in but if you can do a little bit of lift and coast to help these brakes that would help". Oh and Kvyat is in the gravel. One of his wheel isn't touching the ground anymore, I'd say that looks like a broken suspension but what do I know. Oh there's also a dramatic puncture on the rear right. Brundle confirms the broken suspension. I might actually be learning something watching this. He says he lost the brakes. He's way off track so no yellow flags. And Rosberg overtakes Perez and Bottas follows him through! Here comes Lewis… he can't make it yet… not yet… still not… here you go, that's P3. Lewis sets the fastest lap. 

It's lap 30. Perez pits for another set of softs. BOTTAS ATTACKS NICO! He's just 0.4 behind him and Lewis 0.3 behind Valtteri! Let's go! He attacks again! Massa is told Rosberg looks slow. But Bottas can't make it past him and that just puts him closer to Lewis. But yeah what's happening to Nico? He's lost 0.7 to Valtteri on that last lap. Oh, he went wide in turn 1. He's struggling with grip. Seb lost a bit of his front wing in a contact with Gutierrez. It's not getting better for him. He has to have it changed. The gaps have widened again. Overheating is a real issue there. And now that contact between Seb and Gutierrez is under investigation. No further action. We're halfway through. And Seb is called in to retire the car :( sad, but there's truly no point in continuing. Nico is told to push hard now. Lewis has saved a bit of fuel. AHHHHHHHHH YES HERE IT IS

"Okay Lewis, it's hammertime." 

As far as I know this is the first one. 

Lap 40, he pits first! But it's another slow one, 4 full seconds. Wtf is that about. He's out in P5. Nico is called in. Lewis on a new set of softs, what will they do with Rosberg? He gets softs too and he's still ahead of Lewis, in P4. His stop was 3 seconds… Bottas pits. Lewis sets another incredible fastest lap! They're ahead of Valtteri! Nico asks "so who am I racing, what do I do?" The answer is clear : "you're racing Lewis to the end". I've lost the sound for some reason but Massa pits. Lewis is gaining on Nico. "Brakes are okay, yeah?" Lewis asks. "Yes brakes are under control now, plenty safe at the moment so just keep managing them." Williams tells Valtteri that they're virtually P3 and basically just bring it back home. They wanna score points, not race the Mercedes. Alonso pits from the lead. He's out in P6. That's Rosberg back in the lead with Lewis 1.4 behind.

It's lap 50. Lewis asks if Nico has a brake issue like him. Bono calmly says "you are both in the same position so it will need management." He's now losing on him again. It might be the same issue they had in Canada, Brundle and Crofty think. There's 20 laps to go now. Bono again : "Okay Lewis at the end of the last stint rear tyres were looking a little better for you so we may have an opportunity at the end of this race." He's gaining again. 

It's lap 60 now. The gap has stabilised at 1.8. 10 laps to go. Not much is happening. Perez overtakes Magnussen for P6. 5 laps to go. 1.3 at the front. 4 laps to go. Lewis locks up a bit. He has max power now. 3 laps to go. 1.1. Nico is told to stay in strat6. 2 laps to go. Nico asks if he can use overtake, he's told yes. Lewis is told he can use overtake as well. It's the last lap. And here he goes right under the second. It's not gonna be enough i believe. 0.8, 0.7. Nico goes deep. 0.6. 0.5. Two corners to go, damn that track is truly truly short. 

It's the end of the race! 

Nico wins the Austrian GP, Lewis P2, Valtteri's first podium! 

Lewis shakes his hands and kind of elbows him in the chest. Very reminiscent of that reaction Nico had in Bahrain.

When he gets to the cool down room though, Lewis goes straight past Nico and shakes Valtteri's hand. "Good job man!" he tells him. They're clearly avoiding each other.

Okay wow that's the weirdest looking trophies I've seen so far…

It's Mark Webber doing the post race interviews. He goes straight in and basically asks Lewis if he's happy with his pit stops compared to Nico's, and whether he's in the right position for them. He says he doesn't know and needs to have a look and what the team's feedback is on the positioning. He says as Nico said the guys have done a fantastic job to get another 1-2.

Niki says the race was hard but it was an important result after Canada. They did a great job and it's a good result. Ted asks how sweet it is to get a 1-2 on Redbulls track. He says he enjoyed it but he would have liked for the Redbulls to be more competitive. (It’s funny, he sounds like Lewis, or rather Lewis nowadays sounds like Niki, doesn't he?) He says he has to say it was a very good drive for Nico "but Lewis again, fighting from the back all the way forward, fantastic drive." 

That's it! Next stop : Silverstone.

Ghost Host, Ghost House Live Blogging

Vibie Gen Youtube

The final new show before my 3 week rewatch journey, hope it’s good! It’s got ghosts and I’ve seen such good clips of the main couple in the show and a few outside show. 

Ep 1 (Nov 28/29)

1-1

So Kevin is a ghost story teller on like IG and I know from spoilers that the family is actually dead and ghosts but seems like the audience and Kevin doesn’t know yet. I guess the daughter is like apathetic towards everything because of it while the rest of the family tries to appear normal for Kevin.

1-2

So the ghosts in this can touch, hold, and carry objects, ooh

As expected, I love the girl. She’s apathetic, she’s kinda mean, she doesn’t care BUT she stops the brother from accidentally giving away they’re ghosts by telling him to go through the proper entrance. She seems the most bitter about being dead but playing alive, so I hope they dive into her character later (is she the one that’s part of the small side gl?)

1-3

lol Pluem trying to communicate with Kevin in English is cute, as is Kevin teasing him cheekily

Kevin continuously giving this family a heart attack with every mention of a ghost

The ghosts can’t leave the house.

nevermind, they can

Also, the Aunt keeps calling or is at least translated as calling Kevin her cousin but he’s her sister’s son, so in English, nephew is more apt

1-4

Territory Restriction: they can leave because at least one of them (?) thought of Kevin before dying and now that he’s arrived, they’re free to leave the home?

The mix of paranormal and merit point science and afterlife bureaucracy is fun

pls Kevin gleefully tryna summon ghosts and disturb the peace while the Aunt’s family holds the ghost family back right behind him. he’s a menace fr

So the aunt’s family died of a car crash (dunno how long ago) near the swamp, which is the highest shrine for the area

Lots of setting up of the lore and backstory but interesting to me nonetheless.

Ep 2 (Nov 29)

2-1

This family was a whole mess before their death, oof

aww, is she tryna see the girl she likes?

2-2

ooaaahhh i remember seeing gifs and clips of this scene with Kevin on the couch and Pluem gardening outside and splashing water on the glass. cute >.<

the earring?

Pluem and Kevin are cute hehe it’s teasing and friendly right now, I can’t wait to see it turn romantic

2-3

Wasn’t expecting Pluem or Kevin to get wind of the family being ghosts so quickly for some reason but we’re almost 25% through the series, so it makes sense 

heh, as expected Kevin saved Pluem as Handsome Gardener on his phone

2-4

Interestingly, this ghost hunting crew is just like an over-the-top version of Kevin but we’re supposed to feel vastly differently toward them I think?

I think it’s so cute that Pluem nervously asks the family “is there anything you wanna tell me?” aww like he’s so afraid of ghosts but still came to help the family

Ep 3 (Nov 30)

3-1

The twin ghosts thing is cool

3-2

Oooaahhh I’ve seen clips of this “Do you have a boyfriend?” convo at dinner and it’s so cute >.<

Pluem being scared of the aunt’s family now is interesting, wish we’d gotten to see how they told him at the end of ep 2

3-3

Pluem’s father passed away and his sister is hospitalized after a car crash? And they don’t know who the other party involved in the crash is? I guess it’s the aunt’s family and they all passed away?

3-4

Woah, the ghosts can do telekinesis? We haven’t been seeing much of their powers since they’re hiding it from Kevin

Home Alone vibes as the family teams up to scare the robbers away

:000 Kevin found out the family is all ghosts? Or maybe he saw the ghost that See-Foon thinks is in Kevin’s room? (Cute that he called and ran to Pluem though)

Also, they’ve mentioned Pluem’s need for multiple jobs and having not as much money several times now

Ep 4 (Nov 30/Dec 1)

4-1

lol I thought they’d at least talk a bit about what Kevin saw or discovered for him to be so freaked out

Kevin and Pluem so cute and awkward in Pluem’s room, aw

lol Pluem dying over Kevin’s bare legs

pleaseeeee Kevin teasing and pushing Pluem about getting naked but then getting nervous when Kevin actually does something about it lol I love that they seem to take turns being bold and teasing but then get shy/nervous about it too (Fave scene)

ahhh

big fan of the neck sniffing and hand sniffing tbh i love sniff kisses 

4-2

these bitches never stop teasing each other i’m losing my mind why is kevin teasingly moving away every time pluem tries to kiss ahhh cuteeee

Kevin choosing “you” and “I” (eng words) as the pronouns they use with each other omgggg deliberately choosing language

Rosa and Lise so cute and kinda sad that they have to defend themselves preemptively despite not doing anything wrong  (Fave scene)

lmfao Pluem’s last job?! going to funerals and pretending to be someone’s friend?

4-3

Sign language appearance and even which specific term the person prefers to refer to their disability (I’m assuming/hoping it’s accurate according to deaf/HoH Thai people)

lots of heart to hearts about Kevin’s dead friend Jack and Pluem’s parents. also, Kevin tells Pluem about the aunt’s family being ghosts

4-4

Kevin hearing about the family’s death and stuff finally

as expected, Aunt’s family and Pluem’s father passed away from the same accident

omg Pluem trying to summon his father with the candles and mirror, then being upset and demanding at the shrine is so good. the ending with the car in the lake, though I don’t think it’s his dad’s gray truck. Pluem being mad and upset that the Aunt’s family are the ones who killed his dad (or so he thinks, I’m expected some other explanation) but also being mad that they could come back to see Kevin while his father isn’t back, meaning perhaps he wasn’t thinking of Pluem and his sister in the end. 

Okay, as a lover of formalities and honorifics and titles, I also liked them being deliberate and specific on what to use (this type of thing shows up with younger semes sometimes like in Lovely Writer or LeonPob Don’t Say No, although this case isn’t the same as those; we also got it in terms of formality when it came to Sangwoo going from sunbae to hyung). Them choosing ‘I’ and ‘you’ pronouns instead of “Phi” and “name” oof it incorporates Kevin’s background as well.

I’m nervous to continue on though ngl because people were iffy about 1) apparently a stupid breakup, 2) side GL being short and sad and 3) the logic or reasoning for things being meh. I’m not certain about any of these because I’ve remained mostly spoiler-free but oof

Behind the scenes l EP4 Watched the behind for this ep and it’s so cute! Boy and Tod are endearing and funny together and by themselves and there’s not really any awkwardness between them. 

Fave episode, really fucking good.

Ep 5 (Dec 1/2)

5-1

ooh, a little sex positivity PSA in the midst of “...did Pluem ditch Kevin after getting into his pants” 

So Pluem’s father and Aunt Jeab’s family both passed away a month before the start of the show

Dang, Pluem and Kevin’s breakup(?) scene was sad, Pluem grieving his father and also bitter that the people he thinks killed his father are back but his dad isn’t while Kevin also lost his family and he also has someone (Jack) he wishes he could see as a ghost. Pluem not considering how Kevin is going through similar things vs Kevin saying things that just sound unkind even though he doesn’t mean them that way rip Neither of them is really wrong (though I admire Kevin’s resiliency in trying to keep the relationship and it’s one of the times in BL where I don’t get grossed out by ‘refusal to breakup’ because it wasn’t even that really) -  (Fave scene but in a way of the writing choices, not for cute or giddiness)

5-2

dang, Pluem cruel in his grief to his sister too T.T At least they made up quickly because I don’t think I could’ve taken angry siblings on top of all that

The “Last Day” stuff is still kinda confusing to me but that’s not till later ig

5-3

Pluem putting a mosquito coil (haven’t seen those in so long) near Kevin

dang, kevin giving up seeing his ghost friend to let pluem see his ghost father

oof, a no show

pluem’s father in the past doing the “taking sadness away” gesture same as the “taking anxiety gesture” kevin did

the realization of pluem that his father chose to not come back and his lesson from his father when he was young and his mom passed away all coming back to make sense of what’s going on is sad but in a nice way (though I’m side-eyeing the father’s advice though, especially to a very young child Pluem who mother recently passed away but maybe it comes across better in Thai?)

damn, girl hundreds?! see-nam only has a few hundred points left cuz she waited for the girl at school every day (+ the 6000 points used for the ritual)

5-4

girl, Jake?!?!

I guess Jake was hidden from Kevin the whole time because he wasn’t on his own turf but See-Foon could see him because ghosts can see each other. Damn, mans has been taking care of Kevin this whole time and has seen him fall in love and give up a chance to see him to Pluem and it’s really his time to go. 

our first taste of the disappearing ghost

also i just realized See-foon didn’t see Jake in the dreams, he learned about his existence by finding him lol

damn, this ep is just sad event after sad event but I quite enjoyed it. 

love to see Pluem lash out and be unreasonable in his grief tbh. Does it make sense to break up with and ignore Kevin because Kevin's family came back as ghosts from the same car crash that his dad died and didn't reappear in? No because Kevin had nothing to do with it but I liked that it was overwhelming and upsetting and caused him to lash out at Kevin and his sister. I do want Pluem to sincerely apologize next ep though. I wonder if this was the stupid/avoidable break up someone mentioned because then I’m fine with that, I understood why it happened

About Jake, I was like hmm I slightly suspected that the ghost in Kevin's room is Jake but the reveal and disappearing is done in such a short time that it doesn't hit as hard but I'm fine with it since it's like the first taste of a disappearing ghost (agh I guess See-nam gonna disappear next ep? TT) and the general story of Jake was sad enough even though we didn't delve super deep into it

Ep 6 (Dec 3)

6-1

Linguistics: wait okay from what i noticed/read in notes of a post, in ep 5 Kevin was still using I/you pronouns but Pluem stopped and used gu/meung with him once or twice instead. So now, Pluem used ter again (they used rao/ter before the I/you decision) and Kevin was like “Don’t you speak rudely to me like you did?” using meung

At least Pluem apologized (and even tried doing it in English for Kevin)

6-2

Aww, See-nam and her dad apologizing to each other in general and father-daughter bonding 

Having them use I/you pronouns is good for realizing how differently this is used in Thai vs English. Like I’ve heard them say “Khun/Ter/Meung” in lieu of a name many times but saying “You” makes it concretely settle in my head that, in these case, they use these pronouns in a way that we would use a name in English.

Nam’s gone?! She didn’t even meet the girl?!?! Fuckkasdfja;skldfja;sdf

bro flashbacks? so we fr not getting a bittersweet ending (Nam and her meeting and confessing and saying goodbyes) but just fucking sadness bc Nam used up so many points while waiting for the girl at school only to disappear before meeting her one last time

1 minute of See-Nam and Prim flashback but they were so cute T.T (Fave scene)

6-3

aw lol, Foon going through kittens to see which ones Nam reincarnated as

Damn, exchanging points for Last Day already - See-Fon got 4 hours left

6-4

Oof, See-Foon also gone (aside: did he say goodbye to his parents already or what?)

askldf Prim was waiting for See-Nam to come visit her at the hospital?!?!?! fuckkk

No joke, I’m boutta become a supervillain wtff I was expecting like one last sad meeting with confessions or heartfelt conversation between See-Nam and Prim but See-Nam really used up so many of her points with the Pluem’s dad summoning + going to wait for Prim at school that she used it all up?! and Prim was actually waiting for her to show up at the hospital?!?! So they just never fucking meet I’m gonna flip a table. Also, we got both kid ghosts disappearing in the same ep. 

Although, them both disappearing 3/4 of the way through in quick succession makes me nervous that they’ll somehow be brought back to life or smth at the end idk but I hope that doesn’t happen.

Ep 7 (Dec 3)

7-1

please they’re so cute, this stupid fake interview and Kevin being like “off you’re not giving any time for others’ compliments” and Pluem saying “I’m afraid they won’t give me any hehe” cutee

aw shit, Kevin boutta go back to murica soon isn’t he

I think this is the second time when Kevin has looked at Pluem for help and he’s stepped in to explain Kevin’s thought process to the family (can’t remember the first time but it was last ep and this time it’s about the aunt and uncle to the beach honeymoon)

7-2

It was already beautiful but then the aunt and uncle turned young before disappearing and that’s so T.T

bro, why isn’t Kevin answering? The reason he’s not agreeing to be Pluem’s bf is for sure not because of Jake but because he’s going back to America soon, right? so correct himmmm

7-3

wait dang it really is Kevin unable to forget Jake?

Damn, did Jake and Kevin also use you/I pronouns? Pluem was the one who asked, so he just struck upon the same thing as Kevin and Jake ig

aw, cute sad conversation that they had before Jake died that basically predicted Jake becoming a ghost and looking over him till Kevin finds someone else

fr Kevin’s ghost hunting origin story

I had a pretty bad interview yesterday, so seeing Pluem be shit at his job is making me wanna off myself. nervousssss

lmfaooooo not Pluem’s adlibs for the ad that are actually for Kevin

wtf, is Kevin jealous? over a shoulder clap from Pluem’s costar? bffr Pluem was fighting against a ghost and yuo can’t handle this?

7-4

oh dang, death by awkwardness

oof, Kevin leaving for America without saying goodbye or patching up things or letting Pluem know, fuck

I wish they just said things and didn’t do this.

Ep 8 (Dec 3)

8-1

Pluem trying to repeatedly call Kevin, then going by Aunt Jeab’s house a week later only to find it empty and dusty and sitting there as he realizes Kevin’s simply not here... then getting the notification of Kevin going live on IG again and sitting in his home in the states talking about his experience in Thailand while Pluem sits alone in the empty house

girl, Kevin only talking to Pluem indirectly through the IG live rip

dang, if I were Pluem I’d just lose my mind if that happened to me tbh

8-2

is it 3 days? weeks? months? years? I wish they’d translated it because in first part they translated 7 days

dang, Kevin’s mom’s having twins? See-nam See-foon reincarnation era

you’re gonna miss each other while walking by like this?! goddamn Don’t Say No special ep flashbacks

ooh, Pluem let out a smile seeing Kevin. I don’t even know what I want the reaction to be; ideally, it’d be an angsty and apologetic and hurting and confusing reunion but considering we’ve got like 35 mins left, maybe going the happy route with little depth is a good idea 

8-3

I don’t even know how I feel about Pluem’s eagerness like have some bitterness in your heartttt. I want Kevin to be apologizing and begging, not Pluem to be making moves as if Kevin didn’t rip his heart out without notice

The making out is too noisy and slightly gross to me but I can’t skip because I’m mesmerized by their hands and fingers as they run over each other’s bodies or open buttons; their beautiful, slender, ring-adorned hands

I like the filming of this - feels like we’re on a swing or a boat because of the dolano-dolano vibe

8-4

I’m losing my mind because they’re so fucking cute, this pillow talk with the teasing and flirting and agh idek

bro, I slapped my forehead like 10 times during the whole bed talking scene because they were sooo cute throughout it fml (Fave scene)

listennn in english, it’s “did you miss me the same way I missed you?” but in Thai, you don’t change the pronoun, so he said it as “did you miss I the same way I missed you” and literally said I ahhh so fun

goddamn the can rings

one last nod at the people who passed away. so grateful they never came back once they left, don’t want the ghosts returning

they’re so fucking cute for no reason

Idek how I feel about the last 1.5 eps because in terms of writing, I have some qualms but like Kevin and Pluem are so cute that I can’t even think critically. 

Biggest Pulls for this show:

- Pluem and Kevin, bro they were soooooo fucking cute just unbelievable I was cheesing throughout so many of their interactions. they really felt like people who liked each other and also just bounced off each other so well. They had great off-camera chemistry as well.

- The linguistics, specifically usage of first and second person pronouns for Kevin and Pluem. I love the deliberate choice of using you/I so much and they use it throughout except !! Pluem used ‘meung’ when he got angry at the roof in ep 5 and was very rude and, in the next ep, when he used ‘ter’ during his apology, Kevin pointed it out and was like oh? you’re not speaking rudely to me anymore?

- The ghost stuff was intriguing and I’m glad they didn’t somehow make them come back or anything. I wish we got some more background in terms of how things actually worked and some more lore building but I’m still generally okay with the way it went, combining the comedy and sadness

- I wish we had more of the GL rip

All in all, despite not liking certain choices or wishing for more in other aspects, I enjoyed watching it and am so glad to have watched Pluem and Kevin, they were adorable.

Rating: 6.5/10

Trailer Reaction: Boy tearing up at the trailer and Tod’s eyes widening and them getting shy at the NC scenes lol

Director’s Cuts

1: an extended version of ep 4 NC scene

[punkscowardschampions]

Roses pt.4

Moses: [they are both elated on this day because it cannot be overstated how perfect her reactions are for him, she truly gives him everything he wants in the absolute mix of what Edie and Ali used to and what they would never, really scratching that itch the way nobody else has ever, KISSING her SO HARD when she demands directions to his because it’s such a jali fuck you and he LOVES it not to mention the prospect of her coming home with him, thank god he didn’t put his seatbelt on because he’s truly up in her grill aggressively making out with her, only breaking away when someone’s headlights go past their parked car and remind him that they are supposed to be driving away before someone asks them if they’ve got car trouble/otherwise involves themselves in what is going on, showing her again how to start this car because y’all were v distracted when he first showed up, putting his hand over hers until it is, then teaching her everything she needs to know to reverse out, giving when my boo and auntie max have to help me]

Rio: [oh lads, you’d be very cute if this was in any way age-appropriate but that’s simply not going to fly with anyone I fear, not after being her step-father, however for you two in the moment y’all are truly living laughing loving, making out with him once again like you have nowhere else to be and so close to once again taking your seatbelt off but the headlights stop you just in time, giving him the most sorry not sorry look of all time, very knowing you’re going to get away with your bad behaviour; can actually learn some things here, trying to pay attention because you’d have some idea and would want to show you can do this to impress him but it’s also a dreamy situation for him to be teaching you so you gotta be a little 😍 too]

Moses: [oops my boo be shipping that’s Winnie’s masterplan I fear, soz not soz everyone that he’s giving her an actual (albeit v flirty) driving lesson all the way to wherever he’s living, it’s still a site whether or not it’s the site Sophie Turner moved back to with Johnny when his mum got ill or you’ve gone somewhere else, you’re welcome for the mostly quiet country roads made quieter by whatever time it is at this point because neither of you can concentrate that hard, we will catch him throwing her underwear out of the window while she’s driving like I said, so soz too to anyone that finds that]

Rio: [like obviously it cannot happen but it’s also not something you would do if you didn’t believe in it so there’s no point you denying it hun, that would make you a lot worse if you were just banging him lol that’s unhinged; but yes, here having a marvellous time getting to drive this sports car and even though you won’t go as fast as he did you’ll be going faster than you have ever just played around in your mum’s vehicles or whatever before now and it’ll feel EXHILARATING mixed with the combination of what you’ve done here and the fact you’re going to stay the night and lie that you’re over a friend’s, thank god sophie turner nor ronan will be there if they ever were because y’all do not need that level of confrontation of your crimes out the gate and they’d definitely recognise you lol; shaking your head and tutting at him playfully ‘they were really nice’ like excuse me, might’ve wanted those back because obviously you wore good underwear, you knew what was going to happen here]

Moses: [jemily regrets nothing we’re having a marvellous time, this man is the type of man who always carries SO much cash so getting his wallet out and stacking some euro notes on her thigh exactly where he put his hand earlier when he was driving ‘that nice?’ with a look like or do you need some more, but obvs he’s adding more money without waiting for her to answer, just keeping going adding whatever notes he’s pulling out without checking, seeing how many will be piled up before she tells him to stop, it’s a game like his speed creeping up when he drove or their behaviour escalating but it’s also serious because culturally yes he does wanna provide for her like a daughter/wife, we all remember when Johnny gave Ali that money]

Rio: [mhmm, we remember it all too well, saving for their life that they didn’t get to live until now, gah; thank goodness this isn’t the second after you’ve banged so we don’t get in our head that we’re being paid for here because not the mood, not you honestly telling him how much these undies cost as if he’ll take away this whole stack like okay then because he’s obviously put SO much more cash on you and you aren’t going to pretend you don’t love to see it, for whomst, here instead trying to focus on the road and staying DEADLY still so it doesn’t collapse and go everywhere]

Moses: [imagine if he was paying her off like go away and keep your mouth shut, not the vibe, do take a note away but so you can snort some more drugs off the car’s dashboard and then putting it straight back with some more because he couldn’t give less of a fuck how much they actually cost clearly he’s having too much fun, letting the stack collapse into her lap because you jenga’d said note out instead of taking the one from the top case in point, who can say if some is falling to the floor also, he’ll worry about that later, building the tower back up so you can touch her not because it matters] 

Rio: [devastating, this girl has enough trauma of Buster rebuffing her any time anything has remotely happened between them, she would have to run off into the night casually and that is not practical or safe, never mind the heartbreaking nature, no thank you lol; here watching him like he is the child right now, very oh you about this, we’re not going to be concerned about your money ‘cos it ain’t ours to count but we do find you amusing, picking up a few of these notes and putting them under your bra strap, would put some in your underwear band too but he’s got rid of them so you cannot, reaching over to wipe the drug residue from under his nose with your thumb (which is something Buster has done to her in iterations if not this one yet), licking it off ‘you don’t mind, me coming back’ bit late to check in once you’ve demanded but you know he doesn’t so you’re just saying it to have him say it back]

Moses: [the game has now changed to how many notes can he fit down her top/dress in the cleavage this girl has regardless, very distracting when she’s trying to drive but does he care, no, it’s rude he hasn’t offered her any this time but it’s even ruder that the ruster happened when we did the newest st paddys before this redo we’re on now so it hasn’t happened yet here, they’ve barely interacted in person though so I’m sure it will ‘I’d mind you going home’ because he would he doesn’t want her to go]

Rio: [rude but a good thing because you’re far more likely to crash than he is and we don’t need to stack your odds any harder when you’re already too distracted by him doing this, as proven by you accidentally putting your foot down on the pedal because you’re pressing into his hands unthinkingly and you have to remind yourself to chill and pull it back, still LOOKING over at him before you do ‘I don’t want to’ because you do not and you are not going to, taking a hand off the wheel to GRAB his ‘I want to be with you’ as if that wasn’t painfully obvious]

Moses: [the way he reacts the opposite way a responsible person would to her speeding up is the realest, out here pushing her foot off the pedal with his own and putting his foot down so they’re going faster than she has so far, LOOKING at her and HANHOLDING as they speed ‘you’re with me’ how these boys say it not at all casually which means you’re mine]

Rio: [‘don’t let me crash’ because like him displaying his dominance and strength over you, this is hot but you need to know he’s in control so you can’t genuinely drive y’all off the road and straight into a ditch or a tree, we meant that don’t with our whole chest, which is hitching because we’re !! at this development, still got all these notes just peeking out too nbd ‘tell me what to do’ because you’re his but again, like show me]

Moses: [‘Nothing is gonna happen to you unless I want it to’ because that’s the tea he is in control to a degree that this poor gal doesn’t even fathom yet, using their handholding to take the wheel and correct her slightly where she has drifted off course because of being distracted af, telling her to take some kind of turn or in some way deviate from the way they were going, he isn’t telling her why, whether it’s a shortcut because he’s impatient to get her back or he’s taking a lil detour to take her somewhere else first, because that’s up to Winnie to decide, it’s his choose your own adventure moment cos both are moods] 

Rio: [nodding, keep having to look back at him even though you’re trying to look at the road because you can’t not and you’re also showing him that ‘I trust you’ every time you look away and let him do the driving, saying it again but with a curious smile like what are you up to when he turns y’all into this detour, I suppose you’ve already had to pull over and time depending, where else would yous go rn, Edward Bear must find out further deets and decide]

Moses: [I agree I’m on team shortcut because I just know it would be through somewhere they are absolutely not supposed to go because it’s literally dangerous especially in this sports car because countryside and they could literally get stranded/cause damage to this car/themselves, once again we will let you get back safe actually though but the adrenaline will spike again because she’s being a good driver and the journey is not dramatic enough for this man lol, plus like I said, he’s impatient to get her back, testing the trust she has for him by making her lowkey go off roading hehe]

Rio: [We in agreeance and I hope your car does get a little fucked, purely for our knowledge because I know you won’t care and it will not be the first time that’s happened but still, a sports car for off-roading is the opposite of what you need and thus you must, as well as to prove yourself here, taking a hand off the wheel and running it down his thigh, PUSHING his leg down to accelerate and really GRIPPING into his flesh about it, y’all are both going to be getting bounced around like crazy which will make you laugh at how jittery everything has got]

Moses: [it tracks for the vibe of everything y’all have done so far and will continue to do and yeah his car getting fucked up is necessary because we aren’t letting y’all but we are trying to be semi realistic that there are consequences even though they don’t care about them, put your seatbelt on so you don’t get thrown around more than is fun and while you do, tell her how much time this shortcut takes off the ETA of getting to his because you want her to know just how impatient you are, it’s giving that it cuts the time in half or something wild hence you’re doing it, cray as he is he wouldn’t fuck his car up for the sake of 10 mins lol]

Rio: [exactement, and if not this time another time you’re sneaking, we could have it made clear that you aren’t where you said you were and with who, there are lots of little ways to do it without doing the big #expose before we want to, ANYWAYS; gasping like how rude when he puts his seatbelt on for the first time, like it’s your driving and not the terrain, oh the casual not at all casual heart eyes you then throw at him because SUCH a compliment that he needs to get you back that fast and it’s all down to you, smiling to yourself smugly like hehe, speeding up a smidge to reward him]

Moses: [yeah all the scenarios we can do will be really fun, I say Win play illicit affairs, not you immediately taking your seatbelt off like oh okay you don’t want me to wear it I won’t, waiting to see if how she’ll react because you shamelessly want her to be 🥺 like omg nooo put it back on and be safe obvs esp because she has sped up]

Rio: [we’re gonna have a ball baby boy, as these fools are because we know that’s the sort of girl she is, everyone’s mum alert, frowning at him to the degree it’s ALMOST a scowl like no, lifting off the speed but not hitting the break, just going what would feel a snail’s pace in comparison to how you have been moving ‘daddy’ in that serious way kids tell you off sometimes and it’s like ooh okay, that’s me told]

Moses: [she is that girl and he knows it because he has known her since she was a literal baby, the shameless ploy was always going to work, crossing his arms to playfully mock her because she would if she could rn but she’s driving, so amused and so here for it, we all know he’s recounting some story of when she was little and told him off in that exact way and even if he is getting some of the deets wrong how always he do she won’t necessarily remember because she was young at the time so he’ll get away with it]

Rio: [‘even your arms aren’t that strong’ like he’s showing you that he doesn’t need a seatbelt when he can just use these lol, reaching over to do his seatbelt for him in that very harassed way when you’re trying to drive and your kid asks you to do anything and you’re like ahh but you’re softening so much at this story and the way he’s telling it, you’re instantly 🥺 all over again, softly saying the Gypsy word for daddy instead, how Edie would’ve and you would’ve before you understood that Caleb was meant to be your dad and it might upset him (though he’d have to be around to know about it, FLOP) and all that strange step-family politics that comes with ‘I’m so bossy’ chastising yourself because when peeps don’t want your mothering you would hear that OFTEN]

Moses: [committing the absolute cliche of GRABBING her arm and stopping her from clicking that seatbelt in just to show her how strong he is and how easily he can overpower her and be the bossy one, it’s giving a wrist grab which upsets me because you are not Buster sir but I must do it because he is not and the parallels/absolute differences between the same gesture are important because he’s doing it HARDER than my boy ever would even at his most !! like you know when you feel shit move in your wrist that’s how hard he’s doing this, but only for a beat, returning to the hookup this will only hurt for a sec energy because it would hurt, but then he’s letting go and clicking the seatbelt in himself, again to be the one in control of this, the way the story did not pause or falter for any of that though is actually insane btw, he’s still speaking and telling this adorable story like he didn’t just show he could break her wrist if he wanted, softening himself immediately for her doing it because that word will always get him like nothing else, playing with her fingers so gently in contrast, all of this happening so quickly it’d be such a rollercoaster headfuck of different sensations, shaking his head ‘you know what you really are’ like bossy is not it because she does exactly what he wants and follows his lead always]

Rio: [me like you did not have to prove that assertion wrong but clearly we did and oh my; we’d already be shocked by it because it is such a Buster thing to do to the point you’d have that split second of is it him even though that is quite literally impossible and thus ridiculous but your brain just went there and you do not want your brain to go there so you’re putting your foot down as the tightness of his grip increases and getting up to mad speeds as you wince only partly from the pressure and more from the reminder of Buster, shaking your head in a different way to him, like you’re clearing it with the motion, slowing down from your breakneck speed and looking at him ‘and now so do you’]

Moses: [‘where’d you go?’ because you know she drifted off somewhere for a sec there, it’s said casually but the addition of the gypsy word for baby would feel and is meant to make it lowkey accusatory like excuse me you’re MY baby how dare you just check out when you’re with me]

Rio: [rolling your eyes to try and break the tension like ugh, sorry, what am I like ‘this kid used to always grab me like that, to be annoying’ downplaying it as much as you can without telling a lie about it, making it sound like it’s ancient history and just another walk down memory lane as he’s telling you this childhood story it’s made you think about that time]

Moses: [you’d have no reason to disbelieve it so I’m gonna say you do, none of these boys are masterminds we’ve never said that, so making your own face like oh okay fuck that kid but otherwise leaving it at that, put music back on but picking a songs to blast that fit the childhood memory lane of it all even if it’s giving disney soundtrack with how little girl it is, something that you remember her always wanting you to play in the car is the point]

Rio: [when your childhood was the frozen, moana so on and so forth era so what an absolute bop this undoubtedly is that Moses would be so thrilled to play for y’all, grinning at him once again like you’re that child because he’s clearly remembered this correctly and you’re buzzing, just SANGING it out because of course you still know the words]

Moses: [like, it could also be an absolute pop banger of whatever year but we get the point either way, when you’re used to Edie being shy of her singing now especially in front of you so you’re lowkey shooketh that she’s singing her heart out but in the best way, I’m sure she’s decent too because all of Alison’s children are p talented musically even if they don’t actively pursue it and you’re a church going girlie and we all know that helps too, he’ll be here full heart eyes once again just enjoying this totally for everything it is]

Rio: [mhmm, all these kids can sing well enough and it’s mostly about a presence which Rio undeniably has, even pissing about here in your car, looking at him and gesturing like sing along even though you don’t really expect him to remember the words and you’re still heart eyes that he remembered the song full stop, in an instrumental interlude, asking ‘did we cramp your style?’ because the lifestyle change was real and you want to know how he felt]

Moses: [^^ she’s her mother’s daughter with that same presence her atm unborn baby sister also has, it’s what everyone’s here for about Ali so he would be therefore about this gal too, gesturing for her to carry on like I couldn’t possibly steal your thunder girl but really he just isn’t that bitch that he’s gonna join in ‘’course not’ which could read as omg no ily so much you could never but I know actually means that he still did exactly what he wanted to do even as a father to these 3 children because it was Ali who was putting in the work and he was just doing the bits he found fun or that said children would love him for, exactly like he’s still doing with Edie to this day]

Rio: [so like a man, you wouldn’t expect to do anything else to be father of the year and Ali would honestly not be asking much because she just needed the romantic distraction shamelessly and you weren’t an out and out dick so free pass was given tbh ‘but you don’t want to do it again?’ when you genuinely were just asking conversationally because he didn’t have a hard go of it so why not have more than the one but because y’all have just banged you feel like it looks like you’ve just asked him for yourself and you’re going BRIGHT RED about it like oh no ‘not like that’ like I am sorry lol]

Moses: [it’s the realest, you were there to fuck Alison senseless and you did sir, we all know, not to mention give her some feeling of safety and security which you also did, ‘I didn’t’ not you shamelessly hinting here that you’d do it again with her but not outright saying it so you could just mean at the time no but this is a different time/you’re older etc, go to jail, watching her go even redder undeniably at that anyway, reaching out and rubbing his knuckles across her hot af cheek]

Rio: [when you are pretty sure he’s teasing you but that doesn’t save you from getting redder because you’re still THINKING about it now and wondering why the hell you had to bring that up, biting your lip when he runs his knuckles across your cheek, making a little !! noise that he probably can’t hear but you can see her lips move when she does it ‘I never imagined a future without kids’ doing a little shrug, because it’s true but now you’re like well can I have anything I wanted or is none of it going to happen]

Moses: [you’d always feel a little bit like this man is teasing you because that’s so his vibe and sometimes it’s nastier than other times, here and now you’re both clearly into the pretence like you were when you were talking before and it got brought up and in, bringing his knuckle to her lip when it moves, just resting it there for a sec ‘at your age I never imagined the future’ cos lowkey you still don’t you’re very live in the moment though I’m sure it’s harder to be now at your big age and you have to a bit more now]

Rio: [kissing it again, in this brief moment ‘Reckon it’s a better way to live’ because feeling like you’ve put all your eggs in one basket and now you have to rethink everything and of course, feeling like Buster is obsessed with his future and that’s all that matters to him which is a personal hurt at this moment in time so yeah, you’d rather follow your impulses too for the now ‘would you have liked me?’ raising a brow, signalling that he can be honest about it]

Moses: [a shrug because honestly you’re clearly not 100% happy with how you’ve been living and feel like something is missing or this wouldn’t have happened from your end cos like my boo said you’re not just banging each other and you’ve both got your own reasons for wanting this ‘you don’t need to ask’ in a we both know I would’ve way not a stfu way because she’s hot and does as she’s told but without being the utter doormat his mother is and all the other things he likes and has always looked for]

Rio: [cocking your head towards him but keeping your eyes forward, like you can talk to me about it because he said he genuinely wanted to talk and we do too even though we aren’t mad how we’ve ended up today, not forcing him to and only leaving a beat of silence before carrying on so the vibe is not awkward ‘but I’m such a needy little baby’ using the Gypsy word once again for baby, sending yourself up here for asking a question you know the answer to but also you got bants because you know that’s exactly why he likes you now]

Moses: [when you clearly do wanna talk about it but getting into it when she’s driving and can’t give you the full attention you’d obvs want if you do open up on any level doesn’t feel like the move ‘I like needy’ because you do, no bants detected, even if sometimes depending what mood you’re in what you like is to reject that neediness as you did with poor Carly and you defs do with some of these wives whereas you’re here for it with others, soz not soz he’s led by vibes and whims ‘and babies’ but using the gypsy word for them too]

Rio: [real, y’all got time to talk and the time is not now when you’re getting across some field or something to cut time off this journey lol, nodding because you know both these things about him and you are here for them both, smiling about it ‘they’ll want me to work as a babysitter not a barmaid before too long’ because baby Maggie is cooking and it’s a weird vibe even if we are ultimately excited it’s still like okay, got here very quickly]

Moses: [‘but you’re tiny’ to playfully mock her again like no no you can’t you’re just a lil baby yourself you just said so but then he’s remembering how small she is with vivid flashbacks to all of their antics, and therefore he’s LOOKING at her ‘so very very small’ said INDECENTLY with all the emphasis]

Rio: [about to say something sassy about not being too tiny to serve him pints or something but then he’s LOOKING at you when you glance over and then he says that and you are also having those FLASHBACKS, pushing some of your hair behind your ear and lifting it off your neck like you’re having a hot flush casually ‘please say we’re close now’ because we ain’t even gonna make it to this club energy has reentered the chat]

Moses: [WATCHING her messing with her hair like she’s doing a way more indecent thing over there because it’s getting to you like that as are the bombardment of flashbacks, launching himself at her to KISS the back of her neck and behind her ear in SUCH an extra way, messing with her hair himself obvs more than she ever did ‘I’ll get you close again’ because he said he was earlier in the sauciest way possible and that’s how it’s meant rn]

Rio: [GASPING like he just bit you or something more dramatic than just a kiss because WHAT a kiss and there’s nothing just about it, reaching a hand behind to find him, feel him, even though you’re then going to say ‘I’ll crash’ like keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road then miss ma’am but we know you won’t and you aren’t stopping driving even though you could ‘but I miss you’ as if it’s been FOREVER when you’ve barely left each other alone]

Moses: [‘we won’t’ all the emphasis on we because this is a team effort now, reaching for the wheel so she can take her hands off it and do whatever she wants with them, his eyes are absolutely never on the road though and this moment is no exception because he’s kissing the side of her neck now like it’s his job, however they gotta play musical chairs while driving he doesn’t care and will never, MOANING against her skin and cray pulse like it’s been forever as his I miss you too because duh]

Rio: [turning your head and pulling his up to kiss him on the mouth HARD for this we correction, no one is looking at the road and it isn’t a lingering kiss but it’s also not brief enough for all that, biting his lip as the to be continued promise you don’t need to make ‘am I allowed to touch you now?’ pondering aloud as you start to undo his trousers like hmm, will you slap me away this time, I don’t think so]

Moses: [we all know not only is he allowing it he’s telling her exactly what to do at every point, like not only are you gonna touch me but THIS is what you’re gonna do hun, because his hands are on the wheel so he can’t show her that way how he’s been doing with driving and so many other things, who can say what he’s into, not I because I’m not a man nor have I ever touched one like that, while driving or otherwise, and I would cringe us both to death if I tried to guess lol, we’re not recovered enough from Susan’s cringe yet lol, the important thing to note is that he is actually watching the road, if only to spur her on to do the most and get him to look away, nevertheless, it’s still the first time he has given driving any of his attention at all so we’ll take it]

Rio: [you know we’re about this and taking it as seriously as your driving lesson, determined to do a good job, watching his face the most intently you have so far because he isn’t looking and you don’t have to hold back at all, can also watch his reactions and spur him on when you see he’s into something and pull back when you want to tease him a little to make it hit when you give him what he wants, kissing his neck and tickling him with your hair (however accidentally because it’s everywhere) in a distracting way ‘you’re a good teacher’ casually, like you’re just commenting on the driving and nothing else]

Moses: [the fact that this is all occurring as they are off-roading an unsuitable car through a field is so funny to me and we must never forget, even though this pair absolutely give no fucks about their surroundings, nodding purely so that it adds to her antics but he couldn’t agree more about how great he is either obvs ‘told you you’ve no need of school’ like it’s casual and a commentary on how lame school is but he’s taking a hand off the wheel so he can hold onto her wrist for a sec, circling his fingers around it like when they were talking about being handcuffed together before and her holding his wrist during the tattoo, all that, like nbd I’ll just willingly keep you away from everywhere and everyone but me]

Rio: [truly, the unhinged nature of this must not be overlooked lmao like it’s made for a memorable first time I will give you that, not about to forget this night in a hurry; shifting in your seat, pushing your thighs together TIGHTLY, increasing your efforts for this sec too, breathing more !! ‘I’d learn so much more being with you’ because you aren’t a school hater but you also know the sort of thing you want to do and feel annoyed that you are too young to do any of it yet, plus the prospect of staying with him is very tempting when you think about it right now ‘Wish I didn’t have to go’ letting out a sigh, disguising the fact you’re regulating your breathing only slightly]

Moses: [another smug smirk like yeah I know you would and because he’s fully aware of her shifting in her seat even if he’s not looking ‘what else did I tell you?’ because he’s told her before in their convo that she doesn’t have to when she was talking about her uniform etc, LOOKING at her then, briefly, and he’s putting both hands back on the wheel again as if that compensates, but not that brief much like her kiss before]

Rio: [the sound of you against the leather is hiding no sins and we know it, smirking as you look down into your lap, going pink about it ‘but you said I couldn’t be your baby too’ suddenly pouting at this memory like that was SO mean but then we’re letting spit drop down into your lap so we can use that to ramp up how we’re touching you]

Moses: [‘it was your fault, teasing me about your other daddy’ STARING at this pout which turns into ofc watching this spit go ‘that was cruel’ like no no YOU’RE so mean, not watching the antics and watching the road again like he’s that mad about it but his body’s reaction is absolutely feral and giving the complete opposite]

Rio: [‘you made me jealous too, I’ve always been jealous of the relationship Edie has with you’ the tea even though you’re saying it now and so indecently you’re also not lying, like, can’t overstate how much this has you losing control and doing the most to him rn ‘I’d do anything for that’]

Moses: [oh lads, it really is the tea and he couldn’t be more into it either, because he literally needs to own that girl like she’s his possession and be the complete centre of her universe and have her obsessed with him, which he clearly did when she was younger but now Edie’s sick of his shit and edam are starting to turn romantic from platonic so he’s losing that and therefore intends to just transfer it to Rio instead, I can’t overstate how much he’s losing it, watch this car go into a pothole on this uneven terrain in a sec because he is NOT concentrating, instead closing his eyes because he’s so overwhelmed by the pleasure of this ‘keep doing what you’re doing and you can have it’ however long that takes him to say and however incoherently]

Rio: [mhmm and Caleb has really done a psychological number on you you don’t even want to address but you know it explains so much of why you’re here but the important thing is we are here and LOSING IT with him ‘You’re the best one, the only one I’d pick, every time’ sounds like you’re just hyping him up but you mean it, not you lowering your head instead of looking out the window like I need you to lmao, breathing against his dick like you have each other’s skin ‘say you want me to be your baby’ letting your tongue flick against him as you say this]

Moses: [Caleb has gifted us so many plot points with the ways he fucks up his 3 daughters alone, oh sir, me and my boo like guys this car is DRIFTING please concentrate before you hit this mini ditch HARD but they aren’t ‘mine’ as a MOAN because of course he does, no notes, taking a hand off the wheel once again to HOLD the back of her neck and her in place so possessively as if she was gonna go anywhere]

Rio: [thanks for that and nothing else floptina, y’all are going to crash but it’ll be a mini crash because you’re lowkey just forgetting to drive at all so at least we don’t have to truly injure yous this time even if it’s a bit of a shock, in this state we’re not giving a fuck about anything but what’s happening in this car, the way you MOAN around him so loudly because you couldn’t be more turned on and if you weren’t literally sucking dick you’d be screaming about it, putting your hands on top of his so you’re really pushing down and have no choice but to do this because that’s what you want]

Moses: [we’ll time it so y’all don’t have this crash at a moment when she could accidentally bite his dick off, deserved as that would be lol, you’re welcome, because he couldn’t be more turned on either and would be having too much fun fully controlling this girl’s head and every move so this needs to occur before either of you will even vaguely calm down, doing the absolute most HOLDING the back of her head too, she’s gonna have a headache even if she wasn’t already concussed from earlier]

Rio: [we’ll be cinematic about it and let you cum just as y’all start to crash because losing control will look slightly less unhinged with that reasoning but we all know what the truth is about what just happened, y’all loved every second of it, potential head injuries and all]

Moses: [yes we simply must, this man is nothing if not a hot cliche and in no world could you not cum as hard as he’s going to without crashing, here jemily are again with their realistic consequences, you’re welcome his car is getting more fucked up than y’all cos we could’ve been a lot meaner than we are, find them in this mini ditch but this man couldn’t care less because he sure did love every second of that and he couldn’t love her more ‘was the first lad you sucked off driving?’ because you know he wasn’t as that would be unhinged and also he’s gonna be nearer her age even if he’s a bit older so it’s even less likely, saying it like you’re welcome because I said I’d undo that for you, here’s a first that’s better]

Rio: [mhmm, y’all are very welcome for everything that just occurred and everything that didn’t, once the car has fully stopped and you can’t get thrown around any more, fully taking your seatbelt off (which would’ve been cutting into you so hard with the shit you were doing) and crawling into his lap so you’re fully face to face ‘he was nothing like you’ said like how could he be, very dismissively because it wasn’t a mood before nevermind now you have something to compare it to ‘you meant what you said’ because you two were running your mouths before he even got here but he’s not gone back on it so you’re SO overjoyed about that]

Moses: [pushing her hair off her face with both hands when she’s in his lap because it would be in a wild state after how much y’all have both touched it and everywhere and he wants to be FULLY face to face seeing her, lifting it off her neck too like she did when she was flustered before, knowing that they’ll be some kind of mark there from how he was gripping onto her during those antics but it’s not there yet so a lil disappointed noise and face like how dare those bruises not be instant when I want them rn immediately, instead running his hands over her body where that seatbelt would’ve been cutting in from her antics and then their abrupt stop to see if it hurts ‘you mean the world to me, baby’ as he’s doing this]

Rio: [🥺 at his disappointed noise and face as if you can do anything about it and make the bruises show quicker, putting her own hands around her throat like you’ll sort this rather than him be disappointed in you, can stop when he starts touching your body though because it definitely would hurt, lifting any clothes necessary so you can see better where it’s really cut into your waist, wincing slightly but you’re too distracted by what he said to be genuinely concerned about any of your injuries ‘I think I’m in love with you’ because you are your mother’s daughter and you’ve said you love him but in love is a different thing altogether]

Moses: [STARING at her hands around her throat because we all know he’d put his over hers if they weren’t already doing something with her hair, but then his GAZE obviously switches to the skin she’s exposing and her potential other injuries being revealed ‘I know you are’ as he’s kissing these seatbelt injuries better so gently like omg I’m so sorry you’re hurt when he’s nothing of the sort or he’d calm down, the arrogance but also it is blatant so you’re not wrong, anyone else who was here if anyone was would see it too]

Rio: [meeting his GAZE briefly before looking away, checking his body over with your eyes as well as your hands, leaving the subject because the fact he responded so casually and didn’t try to tell you no is all you needed to hear in this moment, closing your eyes as he’s kissing you like that ‘can I have a bath at yours?’ because not a bad idea for all the reasons now]

Moses: [smiling because you think that’s a good idea ofc you do pervert ‘no sharing with your sister tonight’ because as babies they would’ve shared always being that close in age and he’s definitely done baths because a fun activity when you only care about playing with toys and flooding the bathroom with water and bubbles, the absolute carnage this man would cause with any of his childcare, winding these children up right before bed when it’s supposed to be calm]

Rio: [my boo says I’ve got your number sweaty and she’s so right for that, smiling at him BIG ‘but I’ll share with you’ shrugging your shoulders casually as you so obviously imagine washing his entire body, running your hands across him until they end up in his hair again ‘we’ll have to use fairy for the bubbles’ clocking him for not having bubble bath lmao, gotta get creative]

Moses: [‘I don’t reckon we’ll both fit’ to remind her how BIG he is lest she ever forget, plus he lives in a caravan realistically so it’s probably a small bath like ours, as he pulls her closer and right to him, like even like this, a shameless excuse to cradle her too though basically because she’s touched him so much and they’re both as shamelessly gonna be imagining the creative positions they could and would have to be in, LOL boo drag him that’s so real, but nevertheless him being like, you can use my [insert his expensive shower gel or shampoo here] because he’s so willing to just let her waste it for bubbles, flaunting that wealth again]

Rio: [looking at him like hm, true ‘I was smaller when we could fit all 3 of us in’ laying your head on his chest like you’re so defeated about this and don’t just want to be on him and have him holding you once again, making an excited noise ‘I’ll smell like you, when you’re gone, I can remember’ sniffing him now for dramatic effect even though you both smell like sex and leather seats at this point and nothing else, still a mood]

Moses: [‘only a bit’ to remind them both how SMALL she still is yet again, taking her hand and doing a hand comparison again before HOLDING it because gotta make the most of not having to drive while you can ‘forget getting rid, I’m going nowhere, got it?’ so possessively and so sincerely ‘you’re mine’ to repeat that because we all remember when he moaned the word not that long ago]

Rio: [doing another excited noise in a different but hardly dissimilar way, you’re about it all, but forever about the size comparison ‘you make me feel that little’ whispering it as if it’s a secret and you can’t let it be overheard when y’all are truly in the middle of nowhere now thanks to that detour ‘just to work’ kissing wherever you lay on his body like that’s all I mean, that I’ll miss you that much ‘you wanna keep me’ pushing yourself up on his chest to look at him again, smiling smugly ‘just for you’]

Moses: [not you putting a hand on her throat because you haven’t stopped thinking about that clearly, the one you’re not still holding her hand with so hard, and picking her up to show her you can one handed easily and she is that little and v light, gently but that doesn’t make it anymore indecent, letting her head touch the roof of this car but not hit it before you lower her back down into your lap ‘I’m of the mind not to go in tomorrow’ in the same whisper, because you have to get up early and go to work and you will not want to ‘but you wanna be a kept woman’ added not in a whisper like ugh maybe I’ll have to, to keep you provided for]

Rio: [SQUEEZING his hand in a way you might believe means put me down but the expression on her face will tell you that it’s the total opposite and she is DYING about this, grinding on his lap happily like you’ve not only just recovered ‘you’ll have to stop turning me on so much’ into his mouth and kissing him lazily and with a smile because you know he won’t and you don’t ever want him to]

Moses: [I can imagine how big her eyes are and he’ll be loving it ‘don’t you ever tell us what I’m to do’ but as per he isn’t saying that like he’s angry the way so many others girls get it, he is the opposite of fuming hence the ‘little girl’ being added unnecessarily but totally necessarily, smiling back at her and kissing her back with a lip bite about it] 

Rio: [said eyes rolling shut as you stifle a moan into his lips at what he’s saying, moving yourself back and forth in really small, tight circles as if he’ll not notice this way and you don’t want him to ‘tell me what to do every waking hour’ because you are so in this and you can’t deal ‘reckon you’ve ruined me for anything but being kept by you’]

Moses: [‘if you’re bothering yourself to move, then move’ ordering her to do it properly or not at all as if y’all don’t have somewhere to be and don’t once again need to move this car ‘you either want ruining proper right now or you don’t’] 

Rio: [going red like you’ve been caught and LOOKING at him in an equally guilty fashion for a beat before you pull down your dress/take your top off so you’re exposing your chest to him, LOOKING at his body and down at your crotches before moving again more dramatically like you’re in the rodeo because if he wants a show he’ll get one, touching your nips and putting his hands over yours, letting him get a touch on your nips every now and then by ‘mistake’ through your fingers, moving harder every time, before moving y’alls hands up to her throat and widening your eyes at him like he’s doing it when it was very much you]

Moses: [he loves to see it, that’s as much part of the show for him as everything that comes after, nodding though when she is going for it because he always will and doesn’t believe in or give a fuck about denying himself anything, hence the life he’s living and trouble he’s always in, he’s the anti-Johnny, because that boy gives Buster a run for his money in terms of doing the right thing and denying himself things, lord knows, giving her throat a gentle squeeze because it’s a test once again, to see how much she can take and what her reaction will be, nevertheless, impatiently barely waiting for her to give one before his mouth is on her nip and he’s SUCKING it like she said when she was running her mouth in the chat]

Rio: [Mhmm, me like Johnathan would NEVER like I sure hope not lmao, we can only have so many degenerates running amok, thank you; still, this girl isn’t mad right now as she nods back at him because of course he can choke you, you really would let him do anything in this moment, PRESSING your throat into his hands when he gets his mouth on you, more for the fact he’s remembered and is thinking about the things you said than the sensation alone]

Moses: [Not MY son I say as if he’s not actually me haha, this boy however I do not claim, the audacity to let her know that you’re thinking about impregnating her rn which is exactly what that gesture means, go to jail, not so different to Johnny in that regard are you now but at least jali were in that together sir, put this teenage child down, he isn’t though, he’s doing the other nip as well, can’t be stopped or tamed]

Rio: [we all know what you mean by this gesture sir, you are catholic at the end of the day, fight it as you may lol, me like please do not get pregnant as if we have no control personally over this, we’re just watching this go down like oh lawd because is she stopping you, hell no]

Moses: [I’m not saying it’s entirely baby Maggie’s fault but if jali weren’t back together and having a baby rn would you want it half as much, the answer is no, because you’ve got this far without having any more kids, me cackling because Ronan was no threat and you didn’t care about them having a baby at all clearly LOL lol, Winnie is like imagine what a cute baby it would be, I say you shh, we all know another hookup is happening though and we all know why, soz girl that Buster literally talked about having babies with you and then denied you so you’ll be GAGGED at this]

Rio: [that’s the tea, you’re big mad for ALL the reasons but that’s no reason to do this, SIR, I think we all knew Ronan wasn’t a threat except poor Ronan lol, oh lads, we all know what’s happening here and that you are living laughing loving once again, really giving each other everything even though none of this should be happening, in this moment y’all want nothing else]

Moses: [what a petty bitch, these boys need to calm down, we all thought Johnny was extra for naming a kid after Ali and having kids in retaliation of some of hers but then there’s THIS, and by this we can all picture the INTENSE af hookup ensuing in which he does NOT pull out]

Rio: [you did not see that coming, no pun intended, here like is he going to freak out now, just casually frozen in whatever spot you died in lol]

Moses: [keeping this girl on her toes 5ever because she’d be expecting him to be mad and if it accidentally happened he would be and has before deffo but we all know he WANTED it to and it was such a deliberate act so of course not, instead what he is gonna do is climb into the driving seat from where they’ve been in the passengers one this entire time and then pull her into his lap again like teehee you’re not in any state to drive back to mine atm so I suppose I will, but like this, with him BIG stroking her hair again like there there for her deadness, lest you forget that you belong to me and there must never be any distance between us, doing all of that so casually and now just driving off when NOTHING is]

Rio: [when you’ve never experienced that before, like obviously not because you were a virgin but someone cumming inside you is entirely different physically and mentally, especially when you’re this girl, at this age and in this current headstate, letting him pull you into his lap because you really aren’t in any state to drive, it’s giving rag doll at this point, pointing to his temples with your index fingers and then twisting into the side of his head here because he’s headfucked you like he said he would, laying your cheek on his shoulder like you might actually go to sleep here on him but I highly doubt you can]

Moses: [which is how you know he’s INSANE (his whole fam is though we know, shoutout ST and Ronan for both being unhinged bitches too) because not only was she a virgin earlier which you know even if you think she’s older than she is because you’re choosing to misremember that but also that was only the 2nd time you’ve hooked with her and this is day 1, to just do that is absolutely WILD and he doesn’t have a lick of remorse about this obvs, grinning at her when she does that like yeah I did, and then doing whatever he did when she was a baby to soothe her to sleep whether that’s rub her back or how you’re speaking to her with shh baby go to sleep etc vibes, she’s too young to remember but it’s clear what you’re channelling here]

Rio: [my boo says you know what you’ve done and he does, no regrets from him on this day, we’re just here having the existential crisis that’s probably fairly standard but on crack because of how extra this man is compared to what a normal teenage boy would be like ‘is that what it’s always like?’ not being entirely clear on what you’re referring to but we mean sex when you don’t have to pull out]

Moses: [and can I just say, the way he goes from wanting to wife her up and literally impregnate her to babying her and ref-ing when she was a baby is VERY upsetting to me personally, stop it, you know you’re doing way too much sir when you make Buster a really dramatic teenage boy look chill, FYI, ‘no’ not even being like you’re special again but she is and it isn’t like that, because that was INTENSE]

Rio: [my boo says I have had enough of your shennanigans boy lol, nodding ‘good’ not like I’m glad I’m so special and you don’t have that all the time (although she’s not not saying that but that’s not our main point currently lol) just like I’m glad that that was as INTENSE for you as it was for me and that the fact I’m still shaking despite how tightly you’re holding me is okay]

Moses: [I am loling because I just remembered she had all those euros down her cleavage, RIP to them, the state of this car at this point, holding her even tighter of course, sorry to the many injuries this girl has that he isn’t sparing a thought for, just softly saying the gypsy lingo equivalent word in her ear like yes I agree but also because it’s giving as I’ve claimed you this is your lingo now]

Rio: [lmao, he’s probably lost a few hundred to the absolute carnage here on this day, at least but does he care, not remotely, never mind the cost to fix the car which you’re at least driving once again and the safest you have all evening so that’s something; copying the word after he’s said it, back in his ear too, swirling your finger around the shape of his ear and back again]

Moses: [calling her a good girl but in gypsy lingo at least so you won’t be as Buster triggered because you might not even know what he’s saying, you’re welcome sir that the car is drivable and you didn’t get stuck in those fields, I imagine you’re back on roads again now for the short distance left to his so p safe in comparison, though there’s the risk of other drivers again so swings and roundabouts, which is just as well because those words were in her ear too and now he’s playing with whatever earring she’s wearing via his mouth, gently so you don’t rip it out of her earlobe but the distraction is no less for that]

Rio: [you can probably put it together because you know good, not sure if he’s called you a little girl in the lingo but it’s a real possibility and you don’t need many context clues to get there when you have heard this language growing up if not fully saying you’re fluent in it ‘bad daddy’ saying bad in english because you don’t know/remember that one but bad is being said like it means the best and she’s kissing his ear lobe and sucking on it gently]

Moses: [I don’t think he has because he hasn’t used the lingo that much yet but in that intense hookup lord only knows what was said, everything and all bets are off if he wasn’t sucking her titty the entire time which is a possibility, but still, I agree she could work it out because Johnny calls Ali smart girl all the time and would’ve in the lingo since he was back if nothing else, giving her the word for best instead of bad shamelessly]

Rio: [‘how do I make you mine?’ like how do I say my daddy as opposed to just the title, whilst you’re finding your tattoo on his arm once more and looking at it, tracing it like you’re trying to memorise it ‘you never wanted to get it covered?’ asking casually but you really want to know how he felt]

Moses: [tell me why this tattoo is angel coded, like cherubs or something, it’s because he’s a hot cliche and I can’t let ruster have anything appaz ‘never, you’re my baby’ saying his ‘my’ again in the lingo so she knows how to do that and for the obvs added emphasis]

Rio: [it’s very legit of a tattoo you would get for a child and very catholic coded too, soz ruster for the reclaiming y’all are going to have to do later, for now she’s here peeping up at him like do you mean that genuinely or do you think it’s the right/hot thing to say because you’d be right but we also want to know the truth about things of course ‘my daddy best’ as something you’re mumbling, which makes you sound like a baby still but you’re not going to be sure on your connecting words and it gets your point across all the same]

Moses: [mhmm I fear I must, soz ruster ‘no getting rid, told you, didn’t I’ because the tattoo counts too, in reality though I just know he’s not that bitch even if he has some drunk ones he could cover he hasn’t because peeps only tend to if they REALLY hate something and can be truly bothered so, when you don’t correct her like you should because you LOVE how baby she sounds]

Rio: [my boo says you just couldn’t be bothered DON’T lie to me and  she’s so real for that ‘make you look hot anyway’ like tehe I know the look you’re going for and it’s working for you boy ‘you still got it for me, only me’ because true, nothing can change that, she knows what this man is about and it ain’t correct grammar sweetie]

Moses: [we’re all well aware that this baby angel tattoo would be a massive hit with the married ladies he likes to bang, they’d be like awww and hence you have kept this for that reason too but this poor girl doesn’t need to know that, flexing said arm muscle in a posey way like yep I know ‘and I’d only get it taken off if you said you wanted it gone’ which is true now] 

Rio: [mhmm, he’s got a very slutty boy look and attitude, we all know that, hanging on his arm when he’s flexing it like he’s an old-fashioned strong man or something ‘why would I want that?’ shaking your head, because you’re thinking of before when you weren’t in touch and it was still a nice thought and gesture to you that he still had it, very much not thinking of a possible future where that’s what you might want]

Moses: [‘hysterics’ with a shrug as if when they have their first argument she’s gonna be like COVER THAT TATTOO but I get it, you’re used to women absolutely losing it at you and you genuinely think that’s what all women eventually do and will become, and also you want her to contradict you and be like OMG no I would never ily so much, so]

Rio: [when that reminds you a little too much of the last time you saw Buster and were smashing up his kitchen so the ha that is meant to be like, how rude! Comes out a little sharper than sassy as intended, shaking your head like no, no ‘not going to happen’]

Moses: [when she told him about that so he gives her a KNOWING look like yeah exactly, so amused though because it wasn’t directed at him so he can be, doing his own lol at her back picturing her being unhinged, ‘psycho’ being said but once again he’s calling her it affectionately unlike the many other girls he’s said it to, a noise like mhmm, ‘you know what’d happen if you turned into a nightmare’ said casually when it’s actually a thinly veiled threat, me like Carly didn’t die for you to still be calling all these poor girls and women nightmares you rude hoe]

Rio: [‘you said you wanted to see it’ raising your eyebrows at him like oh, have you changed your mind? Rolling your eyes but in a similarly affectionate manner like okay sure because you don’t believe that he’d hurt you, whether you should or not is a different discussion]

Moses: [‘now you’re with me there’s just the one way I’m after seeing your eyes roll’ kissing her between her eyes like a sweet little forehead kiss moment except he’s putting it there and doing it harder like you better NOT ever sass me seriously hun]

Rio: [nodding ‘I know how you want me’ because even if this should be a red flag we know your own father has never actually disciplined you or parented you at all so you’re too about it ‘you’re not going to give me any reason to misbehave’]

Moses: [‘as a daughter of mine’ to call her his daughter more than anything because your actual daughter isn’t behaving at all how you want her to these days is she sir and you wish she would, then saying ‘his daughter’ in the lingo so she knows how to say it, even if she does already we’re living our best lives mansplaining regardless]

Rio: [melting, almost literally, back into him, cuddling into him and putting your arms around his waist, you got her because you know how easy it is for you right now ‘best daddy, best daughter’ again in this fractured baby speak, just saying that you’ll behave for him if he takes care of you]

Moses: [Not you kissing her so softly but intensely again after she’s said that, this is why I’m grossed out sir, do you want her to be your daughter or do you wanna bang her, both shouldn’t be an option, but here we are making out for a sec like he’s not driving, breaking away to breathlessly say ‘let’s get you home’ like you’re saying that in an I’ll look after you nice daddy way instead of you being impatient to once more, we see you calling yours home for her too, not subtle]

Rio: [we know it’s both and I suppose you want him to be your daddy and your DADDY so we shouldn’t judge but we are lol, we know this is a bit off but you think you are also fucked up because you wanted your cousin so you’re really rolling with it and going all in, when he says this finally hopping off his lap like okay, focus on driving, holding his hand and rearranging your dress/outfit so you are presentable enough to potentially be seen if anyone is up and out when you get to this caravan park when you’re doing that short walk from this car into his ‘van]

April 🤯 2024 Monthly - Leo

Preshuffle: I got a really positive energy from yours as soon as I switched gears from Cancer’s reading. You have an opportunity to make something everything you’ve wanted it to be and the only thing in your way - is you. Holding onto outdated judgements, grudges, maybe needing to save money, for most it’s like you could if you wanted to, but you’d have to let some other thing go and you don’t want to.

Meditation: You were raking leaves for people around the neighborhood, fall could be significant for you in this situation. Rather than using any new/updated equipment or help, you were doing it the old fashioned way, rake and bags, alone. It was taking *forever*, and you refused to be swayed. Still, everyone on the block was waiting to be next, you had takers, it could just be done easier / quicker / in a better way.

Main energy: Wheel of Fortune

Some of you may have a spontaneous moment of serendipity, there’s an instant attraction or even love at first sight, it feels that way anyway. You could be passionately interested in someone around you, probably someone new, that you’re working with in some way. Could be work but could be anything, the guy fixing your roof or a client at work, the cute girl that makes your coffee, anyone. This person could have a whole family, or you do, it’s like a casual flirting thing that makes you feel good and maybe makes you realize what’s missing in your own world. Take it as a sign without seeing it as like…omg I met my soulmate at McDonalds, I’m too late, no. It’s not that. Origin and Death show something can stop as fast as it starts, especially something new. Fleeting. If you’re coupled up, you could be the one initiating romance back into this connection, with someone you love deeply but also like…let’s play dress up, you’re the pilot 😆 FUN. Those that are single may have their careers on hold while waiting for “the right person”, but this could just be a phase of life where it’s time to get to work with Order as one of the oracles. Moon Virgo tends to avoid love unless they’ve got everything else together, or not at all buuut the right person maybe, that could be a message for those of you that maybe don’t - don’t take it if it don’t fit. If there’s no particular person then it’s just not time, the Wheel is moving and you can have faith for a later time.

What’s going on in April:

Page of Cups:

Cute energy, sweet messages, crushing butterfly in the stomach kind of feelings, Ace of Wands shows someone new, or a new cycle in your current relationship. They do things to you, make you feel all of the right things, especially in regards to passion. 10 Pentacles at the bottom, could be work related again, could be a long established relationship that you are breathing new life into, or again you or they have no idea the other person is deeply involved elsewhere. Meaning the crush may be secret, unsaid, held back. I don’t get that as the main story though, for most it’s probably work or something where you have to work with this person as a team. You both volunteer garden on the weekends idk, but you work well together in whatever you do, and there’s definitely some flirting. Harmless, a Page is just cute, could be confused with “being nice”, no one is trying to step on any toes. But do you feel it, yeah 💯 If you’re already with this person, then you’re amping up the sweetness because you “crave” this person - I heard crave. You want them to feel good, they make you feel good, apply that in all ways, both sides. Or that’s what you want anyway. If not love, you could feel inspired to work on some sort of side hustle, creative stuff, art, writing, drama literally is here - any form of acting, etc. All this Aries energy has you motivated to live.

The Hanged Man:

For those of you fresh out of something, this is the row that tells you to chill, heal from what you’ve just gotten out of, because impulsive mistakes are likely. Some of you may be following your crotch vs. your heart, getting googly eyed over a pretty face with not much to really offer you - that you’d actually want. Some of you just want to feel desirable. I’m sure you are. You’re holding onto a lot from the past that needs to be sorted and dealt with, 8 Swords at the bottom shows you could be keeping yourself stuck or blind to issues that may only repeat if they’re not learned - Wheel of Fortune. You could have a history of rushing from one to the next and then…karma. If it’s the same thing every time it’s a pattern.

2 Cups:

This is what you want, genuine, reciprocated love. But you chase people with shallow intentions, maybe for shallow reasons, they’re hot & fun but not dependable, or long lasting. 2 Pentacles rev can show players, maybe you date players and then think you can change them, or you keep attracting people that try to change you and that’s not happening - but you keep ending up in the same boat. If you’re wanting someone to leave someone else, karma usually plays out as they’ll end up doing the same thing to you, so that’s no good either. If you’re the one in a connection, you could feel trapped to it, forcing a connection that doesn’t feel real or maybe it didn’t until now, because you’re seeing something that’s missing. Some of you may have more like…duty relationships than romantic ones. Or that’s been the phase it’s in. But you are resistant to change, because you’re a fixed sign, or you were, if you saw the light don’t just blame the other person, you were in that too. Single ones feel like they’re falling in love, or actually are, but they’re forcing friendship or a smile because…reasons. Holding back, either out of fear or because of practical reasons, someone is taken and that’s that. But you feel things.

3 Pentacles:

You’re cooperating with this person whoever they are, Queen of Cups. The Page earlier can show you have children with this person, or that you’ve known them for a really long time, 3 Pentacles can be an old schoolmate or someone you’re reconnecting with, 6 Cups has popped up a couple of times. Maybe you both have children involved in your lives somehow, or they make you feel like a kid again. If this is you, you’re in love with this person, or you feel like you are anyway. 8 Swords at the bottom, you don’t tell them. If they’re not single, that’s the inner conflict, or you’re not. You could be needing to focus more on your own self love and are sabotaging yourself by thinking someone else will “fix” an emptiness you’re feeling. That’s deep. If this is your person, you both may be hard workers that raise kids and just never have time to spend together, you don’t express your deeper emotions - which are very loving. Time would be the issue there, but you love them and want them in all of the ways. If you’ve had some kind of an ending, you’re forcing kindness and platonic interactions but you still love this person. You or they could act in an orderly sort of manner, just business, which makes it awkward to be emotional even though you’re feeling it.

2 Wands:

Moving forward, this is showing you plan to just make decisions for yourself, worrying about yourself. If they join you, great, and if they don’t, there’s not much you can do. This could be sabotage if you are in a close relationship and just not being vulnerable or emotional with your person. Some of you may have a moment where you fall madly in love, and then you’re over it and moving on with your life, in and right back out. Some could be planning to be single, or planning someone else to be single, then you’ll speak up and take action towards this person - but until then you’re not doing or saying anything - to avoid any drama it may cause, especially if this is a 3rd party thing, Drama is here and you want to avoid it. This all could be switched. Essentially you need to just worry about you, your job, your laundry, your friendships, and your life. If someone’s meant to be, you can’t miss them. I do see “meant to meet”, again I’m seeing a close brush with someone hot & flirty at some shop you’re at, and then they leave and you never see them again. But you miss that feeling, and now know what to search for (along with the meaningful stuff yeah?), or bring into your already established connection, it’s a (hopefully positive) lesson.

Signs you may be dealing with:

Heavy Pisces, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Cancer & Virgo

Oracle: ✨

10 Burden 🫠

Many times we take on the stress of those we love and care for. We see it as the ultimate sacrifice. We take on others’ burden to save them the trouble or heartache. Ironically, the way energy and the universe work makes this a very counterproductive way of operating. When we take on the burdens of others, we deny them the ability to learn and grow from their own lessons. We also interfere with divine planning and timing. Never one to be thwarted - any lessons circumvented will absolutely reappear - sometimes with much more force than what was originally intended.

Ask yourself if you or another is taking on troubles and lessons not belonging to them out of a need to be needed. This stems from the fear that you (or they) are fundamentally not enough. This is not true, you are created perfect. Your fears and doubts keep you separated from this truth. This is the separation one can feel from Spirit. Once you accept and believe you are perfect and worthy, the tendency to make yourself invaluable to others through your help and assistance will go away. Your relationships can then be based on truth and not manipulation.

We enter into April as:

Wolf of White Light 🌙

“There is a guide inside of us.”

Wolf of White Light comes to remind you that you must use your instinct, for it is what protects you. You are more aware of this than you realize. Your instinct is finely tuned and accurate, so why doubt it? He reminds us that focusing on past injustices will not prepare us for the present. Wolf of White Light warns that time spent in the past also leaves you defenseless in the future. Letting go of the old is signified, for if you do not, you may miss the opportunities that Spirit has planned for you. Wolf is the spirit guide that comes to lead you up the mountain you are about to climb. He only appears to those seeking a guide. Allow him to guide you, and follow your instincts. Remember that when the Wolf appears, it’s time to move on. He is a reminder that your journey is guided. With your eyes focused forward, the Wolf is waiting in the distance for you. Now is the time.

What is to be learned in April:

Pink From Pinkton 💗

“I am more than I think I am.”

Pink shows us the process of self-awareness. Are you trying to recapture a past moment that no longer fits? You may have outgrown something, and while it can be a challenge to admit it, being fully who you are is much more glorious than trying to fit yourself into the past. If you are presently upset or struggling with a difficult situation, it may be because you are trying to make something work when it simply can’t. You may be seeking to keep something far less than what you deserve. With self-awareness and discovery comes a new obligation, using your new knowledge. New ideas, projects & opportunities can only come if you stop blocking them.

Pink may be a lucky color 🩷

Our World au - twst boys get jobs in our world (part 2)

Part one

They’ve been stranded for a month now, and expenses are getting a bit tight. Off to work you go, you funky little wizards!

Characters: Kalim, Jamil, Vil, Rook, Idia, Malleus, Lilia

Kalim:

* Kalims skills include: being cute, being thoughtful, and being friendly

* He may not have a lot of skills, but he’s trying his hardest and that’s what matters

* He ends up getting hired at Trader Joe’s

* He’s very excited at every task there is

* Which, there are quite a few

* Like Floyd, he needs constant stimulation and changing tasks

* Unlike Floyd, though, he’s set water on fire before so working in food service is a no

* That’s why this is such a good fit!

* He just has to stock stuff, ring people up, and be friendly

* He can do all that!

* He gets a reasonable pay for a part time job, and a discount on the food

* He spends so much time snacking at work though

* On the plus side, he can expertly tell anyone what they can pair almost anything with

* It’s broadened his horizons! And he will happily share everything with everyone at home

* He is still bad with money though so whenever someone asks for Taco Bell money he hands them like $50

Jamil:

* Jamil has a lot of work experience, and ends up doing miscellaneous tasks

* Lawncare, babysitting, dog walking, cleaning. He does it all

* Eventually, though, Kalim says he should see if he can teach dance classes or something

* Floyd overhears

* Floyd grins wickedly

* This leads to Jamil getting dragged to the gym Floyd works at and dumped into his boss’s office

* “I found someone who can teach dancing! Sea snake’s real good at it too! C’mon, show him”

* Jamil doesn’t exactly wanna piss off floyd or get him fired, and begrudgingly busts a move

* He is hired on the spot with a resigned sigh and a whole bunch of paperwork

* He surprisingly loves it though

* He’s always loved dancing, and now he gets to get paid for it? And he can keep a constant schedule?

* He gets paid pretty well, and some life seems to shine through him when he’s at home. He genuinely looks happy for once in a long while

* Kalim brings him snacks when he can

* And Floyd attends Jamil’s class every once in a while, so Jamil gets to watch in amusement as a fish out of water flops around

Vil:

* Here he is, in a shopping mall, working a minimum wage job at sephora.

* And here’s the thing. He’s like, really good at it

* Like, really really good at it

* His passion for making people look their best and his in depth knowledge of makeup means this is a perfect fit for him

* If it weren’t for the fact that during the week, this is so completely, utterly, annoyingly boring.

* Not to mention, he isn’t even earning enough to buy half the shit he sells

* How is he supposed to make sure every product is up to snuff?

* Regardless, whenever he works, every customer walks away with an insane amount of products and a shine in their eyes

* I mean, except the ones who find him insulting and walk away

* He’s bored, though. There’s no films, homework, music, nothing to study.

* So he starts teaching vocal lessons around the neighborhood.

* Vocal lessons turn into a part time job at the music store

* Now he has two jobs, twice the pay, and he doesn’t have to be around the 15 people at your place.

* He spends his money on shit specifically for work. Nicer outfits, soaps, makeup, instruments, etc.

* Workin boy get that dough.

Rook

* Here’s a fun fact, hunting skills don’t just go away when magic is removed

* Here’s another fun fact, newspapers still exist!

* It takes a while for rook to find a job that really fits with him

* See, he can be helpful. Sometimes he can even act normal

* But he’s a hunter, and isn’t gonna stop just because of some silly reason like he’s in a different world and stalking is illegal

* No, of course not!

* But he has a way with words, doesn’t he? And he’s got all the skills to sniff out a good story

* So after several doesn’t failed attempts at a job (including fast food, office work, private training, etc.) he eventually becomes a reporter for the local newspaper!

* Sure, nobody buys newspapers anymore, but online journalism is strong and well!

* And depending on where you live, buzzfeed might be nearby

* He makes little to no money but at least you don’t have the French in your house 24/7

* Also rook starts smoking oui’d once he makes some money and suddenly he’s a lot less terrifying when he’s digging through your cabinets for Doritos.

Idia

* The chances of Idia getting a job seem slim to none

* I mean, he doesn’t want to leave his room at home, why would he here?

* And without his brother?

* Surprisingly, Idia is a lot more social here than in twisted wonderland

* He’s feeling a lot better, and he doesn’t have anywhere to hide. Nobody knows who he is, he doesn’t have flaming hair anymore, and-

* And there’s so much anime to watch, and so many new games to play!

* But he knows that he needs money. He doesn’t have any funds here

* After some encouragement from his new roommates, he goes for a walk around town, and guess what he finds

* A nerd store

* Depending on where you live, maybe it’s a comic shop, or a board game store, or a GameStop, but whatever it is, you’re never removing him from it.

* You swear that his eyes have sparkles in them when he comes back from his walk and announces he got a job

* Yes, like that. Literally spent Three hours in the store and he’s on the payroll.

* I don’t think anyones seen him happier.

* And as for his brother,

* Well, when Idia saves up enough money, he buys himself a laptop

* He ends up making a copy of Ortho, although he’s a little more stilted than the robot we know and love, and downloads him on his phone, so he can take him everywhere and show him everything

* He says once they’re back to their world, he’ll upload everything to Ortho’s database, so he can experience everything too

Malleus

* What’s a 200+ year old fae Prince to do in a new world

* He’s not great with technology, he has no fortune to rely on, and his skills are…questionable, at best

* But there’s a little secret almost every town has

* Your town - yes, you, reader- your town has a historical museum

* Most of the time we never think about these places. They’re old and usually smell a little and we go there once as a field trip or something and never again, right?

* Not malleus!

* No, no, he finds your local museum and immediately is enthralled

* There’s so much history about your town! Why did you never tell him about this?

* The first time he goes inside he spends hours pouring over all the information, soaking it up like a sponge

* He goes so far as to start asking questions from the curator, to which they reply “You might as well work here,” in a joking tone

* But malleus doesn’t take it as a joke

* No, he starts working here unofficially at first, taking people through a tour of the museum and sprinkling in some history that isn’t even available in the museum

* And eventually the curator(s) just add him to the payroll

* Why?

* There’s a sudden influx of people attending the museum, mostly teenagers, mostly girls, who are all coming to see this one of a king gothic beauty talk about the architecture of the ceiling of this particular room.

* And the museum is making BANK

* so malleus accidentally gets a job. He shows up to work even when he’s not scheduled because he loves it so much.

Lilia

* So we all agree Lillia shouldn’t cook, right?

* Lillia doesn’t agree

* Luckily he works at a cafe so there’s not a lot of food

* He…he can be trusted to make some coffee, right?

* Well….kinda.

* He’s trusted to make iced coffees

* At Dunkin’ Donuts

* He’s mostly doing cleaning

* After a few weeks of this he finally takes a cooking class nearby

* Holy shit does it change his life when they start explaining healthy meals

* See, back in twisted wonderland, he wouldn’t have listened

* He has magic

* And is old

* But here?

* He has no choice because they won’t let him make hash browns or anything

* He set the oil on fire

* Anyway, after that his cooking improves slightly and they allow him to make orders

* Someone has to threaten to fire him to get him to stop adding weird shit though.

[theveryworstthing]

So over on patreon Trevor asked for my take on the Addams Family and I grew up LOVING the Addams family movies so here we are. Instead of doing a straight up style interpretation, I decided to do a full on design challenge, using the characters as bases to make a black southern gothic Addams au. I actually drew the kids first, using the character bases of Wednesday and Pugsley to create some delightful kiddos I'm calling Sunday and Blanche. I of course then redesigned Gomez and Morticia into Carlisle and Mortesha.

The Addams have a very specific high aristocratic goth aesthetic (they've got a butler and nobody really works among other things) so in this re-imagining I wanted to go with vibes that run a little more middle class/upper middle class.  I thought it would be interesting to think about what would be considered weird and off-putting in an entirely different culture, and how being a big ol' goth is way less controversial than it used to be.

I tried to keep this short (HAHAHAHAHAHA) so I didn't spin off into an essay about villain coded families, black people in the horror genre, and normalcy as it pertains to social survival, but just...bits of that are in these designs and lore. Keep that in mind.

Also I made the kids twins because they've flip flopped in age so much in different media and also twins run in my family (i'm the daughter of one). And let's face it, I'm pulling a lot of their southern gothic traits from living as a southern goth so *shrug*.

10 thousand pounds of lore incoming loooooooooool.

The Parents

From the moment he saw her he knew that there was a 50/50 chance of him either never making it out of that swamp alive or marrying the figure that was creeping out from under the distant willow tree in a black cocktail dress. The third time she found him trussed up in one of her traps, he complimented her rope work and asked if she'd like to go out sometime after his head wound stopped bleeding.

Or while it was still bleeding.

If she was into that.

Some kids and a mysteriously burnt down Piggly Wiggly later, their love is still as strong and inescapable as a bear trap in a sink hole.

Carlisle Guillermo (now Addams through marriage but I wanted to give him two first names for a name since Gomez has two last names) makes a vaguely described living practicing ‘law’ around town. A loophole king, people come to him from miles around with contracts signed in blood, fights over chunks of hair buried in their rivals’ yard, dehydrated primate hands, memories that seemed like dreams until the evidence of their happenings became too real, and other regular Legal Items asking for counsel which he is all too happy to give. For a price. Sometimes that price is a homemade pie and sometimes it’s a million dollars, depends on who you are. Whatever you’re asked to pay it’s worth that price, and if you try to scam him out of work or he just plain doesn’t like you? Well. He knows how to twist a contract better than anything at the crossroads.

And he always gets his due.

He doesn’t just serve the local (living)humans though, there are many things that need proper legal representation in this day and age. You wouldn’t believe how many city councils try to build on sacred burial grounds even after he lets them know that his ghostly clients are totally gonna haunt the FUCK out of the ensuing shitty condos and curse their families for all eternity. At least 50% of his energy goes towards dealing with real estate bullshit.

Carl is an excitable and good natured(?) man who loves his family, cigars, dancing, and his many knife-based hobbies. People find him very charming once they get past the feeling that they’re talking to a sultry gator badly disguising itself as a human. I didn’t put a ton of deep thought into designing him, mostly I wanted to make a middle aged dude who looked like he would have been voted ‘most likely to smooch the literal devil’ in high school. Tbh he probably has, but no demonic ex’s can compare to his lovely wife~

Mortesha Addams(her name was already perfect so I just tweaked it)is a woman of many talents. A self proclaimed homemaker, she prides herself on a greenhouse full of Concerning Foliage, a beautiful wasp apiary, and a coop full of what are probably chickens that she keeps for what are probably eggs. She’s also an avid creator of the outsider art that can be seen around the estate. She has taken on the family business of selling her homemade goods in a little stall by the road just outside the swamp with her mom, and makes pretty good money doing so. A surprising amount of poison gets bought in quaint southern towns.

Speaking of poison, people who come out to the edge of the swamp to buy it are usually carrying a lot of secrets around, and Mortesha knows most of them. It’s not like she pries the truth out of people, it just so happens that many nervous hellos eventually turn into the tragic backstory power hour if she’s alone with a client for long enough. She supposes that’s just how people are. Despite the fact that the Addams are very active in the community (whether the community likes it or not) she especially, as a direct descendant of the first Addams matriarch, is seen as…Well not an outsider because the community feels A Certain Way about outsiders and despite it all the Addams are their people, but maybe something like an exception. They feel like whatever weirdness they’re hiding can’t be weirder than any given Addams, so they get a little loose with their words.

This is amusing to her, since Addams’ don’t naturally keep the kind dramatic secrets that their surface level prim and proper neighbors do. It’s much more fun to openly talk about those things.

Do they have a sadly decrepit yet terrifying grandma up in the attic? Yeah, like three. They got a tv, all the creepy porcelain dolls they could want, and they’re close to family. Where do you keep your gram-grams?

Any bodies buried on the property? Yeah some, but most are thrown to the gators.

Any creeping through the balmy summer night with ill intentions? Yeah dude, everyone loves a nice family stroll.

What about dangerous forbidden love? If an adult Addams isn’t incorporeal then they’re either queer or in a torrid romance with some person/thing mysteriously drawn to that awful swamp. Sometimes both at the same time. Most times actually.

Mortesha would know.

The current head of the Addams family is just as outgoing as her husband but a lot quieter and harder to read. She never really seems to get mad about much and always has a genteel smile for everyone whether they deserve it or not. A seven foot tall human shaped “Oh, bless your heart”. A perfectly composed Lady even when she’s, oh I dunno, burning down a Piggly Wiggly. You know. A regular southern mom. Chat her up at the hair salon for 50% off a jar of wasp honey with your next purchase of a mysterious but foreboding packet of herbs.

Designing her was pretty easy because I just drew a lankier Grace Jones and called it a day. I had some problems with her outfit simply because if we were going HARD southern gothic then she’d probably be wearing a white/cream dress with a fuller skirt but I thought keeping the silhouette and the black was more important. She’s supposed to be an anti southern gothic southern gothic character anyway. A woman who looks like she has a million secrets who is actually the most open person you could meet. For better or worse. The red hair came from a coloring error that I really ended up liking (my mom had red hair her whole childhood that only darkened up in high school so I can buy that an Addams can be naturally fire engine red) and the veil was to get more of that classic Morticia silhouette in there.

The Children

Sunday and Blanche are the twin children of Carlisle and Mortesha Addams. Some say the Addams clan got their cursed homestead when a wealthy local businessman made a deal with the devil and lost, leaving his grand mansion to his least favorite maid and cutting his losses once he realized that the swamp would do everything it could to drag the house into the water and take what was owed with its horrible curse. Others say that the family has just always squatted there and no one really cares because man, fuck that particular swamp. Have you been in there? Absolute horror show.

Anyway.

Blanche is the more outgoing sibling and quite the engineer/mad scientist in the making. He started going grey at 2 weeks old but considering he was also rocking some extra fingers, toes, and a tiny tail (he takes after his dad), his parents just put it on the 'not life threatening' pile and decided not to worry about it. He's the kind of smart that teachers find utterly infuriating, less a dog eagerly learning and obeying commands and more a hyena who keeps teaching itself how to pick locks. He has a few friends in his school's robotics club (which they honestly allowed him to make so the school could contain his... creations) but mostly hangs out with his sister exploring the swamp. They find all sorts of neat things in there! wedding rings, suspiciously lumpy garbage bags, cloaked cultists who can't read private property signs, it's an adventure every day!

Blanche is all about experimentation with his creations, his look, and his tether to this mortal coil. Is lipstick a cool thing to try? Let's find out. Can he get out of a strait jacket fast enough after being pushed into the depths of the swamp by his sister? let's find out. He's not dead yet and confused local doctors can attest to the fact that he's rarely attained more than a bad bruise so he's pretty set on continuing to kiss rattlesnakes on their cute little heads and have his sister practice her knife throwing at him until that fact changes.

Blanche is very much a country goth. Cowboy boots (customized by his mom), knife, and lighter are daily accessories. He likes to wear the crusty swamp jewelry they find (the rust adds a splash of color!) and despite appearances he does try to keep himself neat. He's just got  natural Grunge Colors and a tendency to wear clothes he likes until they fall apart. Pugsley always seemed the most modernly styled to me (which might just be because little boys clothes have been the same for a long time) so I wanted Blanche to be the most purposely fashionable Addams. Everyone else is goth by nature, but he's the only one truly familiar with goth as an alternative fashion.

I got really into designing Blanche because honestly, I find Pugsley to be the most boring member of the family. And he was hard to design! I had to mess with his vibe a lot to get him looking how I wanted. I know he's supposed to evoke an " 'evil' little boy next door who's parents never reign him in", but that's just goth Dennis The Menace.  I's 2020. We can at least go queer goth Calvin.

Sunday was much easier to design. Wednesday was my favorite as a child (of course) and I really wanted to keep the spirit of her look while adding things like billowy sleeves (it gets HOT down here), big poofy twists instead of braids, and a nice tie. She's a professional after all, been running the local pet cemetery since she was 6 and the previous groundskeeper met with an unfortunate accident after telling her that tarantulas don't have souls. Her specialty is creating beautiful naturalistic animal funerals similar to those that Maquenda (https://linktr.ee/artofmaquenda) makes, and she takes pride in creating miniature dioramas of her subjects after each burial which she uses as a kind of 3D catalog for future clients.

She really wants to try out her skills on humans one day. Well. Publicly try out her skills. Lotta random bodies float into the swamp. None of them have turned down her requests for diorama models so far. Most seem downright flattered. Plus, she usually figures out which graveyard/crime scene they floated over from and gets her parents to give them a lift back. She'll even help enact terrifying revenge from beyond the grave on whoever put them there if she's not, y'know, busy.

Besides arts, crafts, and pet based funerary arrangements, Sunday is an avid lover of archery (any ranged weapon really), books where little fantasy adventure animals die dramatic deaths, and history. She is That Kid who eagerly raises her hand when asked who Christopher Columbus was and ends up being sent out of class after 15 minutes for making 'a scene'. Her favorite party trick is just picking an item in the room and talking about how it relates to either some obscure historical figure with a buck wild life or a horrible disaster. At least one charity pancake breakfast ended with children in tears after her vivid description of the Great Molasses Flood of 1919.

Social-wise, while Wednesday is the girl that people ask to smile because they think she'd, "look so pretty", Sunday is rarely asked anything at all. People just kind of assume from her quiet nature (in between horrible history facts) that she's angry all the time and that she hates everyone. This is untrue. She hates some people but she's ambivalent to most everyone else and even downright friendly if you bother to talk to her like a person instead of a terrifying cryptid. Like, she IS a terrifying cryptid but she's also a little girl.  

That’s about it for now. One day I might do the other family members but for now I’m happy with the four I’ve redesigned. Making an au! Lurch in a family that doesn’t do butlers could be interesting. Over on patreon I put forth that he could just be Motesha’s mute little brother (similar bone structure) but Amy Crook had the nice idea of quote: “ a mysterious "cousin" that "helps around the house" whose origins are both long in the past and faintly unsettling. He's good for lifting heavy things, like that tank of propane you're about to throw into the burning Piggly Wiggly... “ which i now consider canon. Who's kid is he? How old is he? Not important. Anyone willing to commit arson with you is family.

Annnnyway.  This challenge was a lot of fun! I love indulging in AU’s.

M!Briar x gn!PC, soft smut, Briar gets PC alone after they’ve been skipping shows and PC just has a little too much on their plate

Briar wears a shitton of rings, its an idea that @inkyquince has cemented in my brain so yeah

The doors to the limo close behind you, and you’re squished between two men, much bigger than you. On the opposite side, Briar sits with legs spreaded, relaxed, so calm it’s even more eerie than if he were yelling.

You know what it was about, that you couldn’t hide forever – not after the talk between you two, not after the last time. Briar took a thousand bucks from you, twice in a row now, and you managed, you pulled through and promised yourself to never do it again... but then you didn’t make the rent that week. And Bailey sold you off, to some scary man in the woods, you needed weeks to escape him and now that you did, the second you got out of the woods, Briar snatched you and pulled you off of the street.

Oh how you wish to disappear into nothing when he drags a smoke through his cigar, taking his sweet time before talking.

“.... had a nice vacation?”

“S-sir, i wasn’t- I wasn’t at home, I tried to come but-“

“Tried to come. And you know, so many good, loyal costumers also wanted to come, but they couldn’t, since the star wasn’t there.”

The puff of smoke from the cigar hits you in the face and you cough, terrified of what is going to happen, why Briar is still so calm.

“You see, darling, you’re making my business look like a joke, especially after I’ve so kindly given you a third chance to redeem yourself. Its 2000, for the missed show and late fees.”

Your heart sinks to your boots when he stretches out his hand, and you start stuttering. Bailey, Bailey, you need that money for Bailey, and if you won’t have it, who knows what would come next? None of the kids have ever come back from wherever he sold them if they missed rent too many times!

Briar notices the way your eyes widened in fear, the tears pooling in them until dripping down your cheeks... only to be wiped off by his suddenly gentle hand that cupped your face.

“Oh, come on now, darling... You’re gonna cry now? It’s just consequences of your own actions, nothing more...”

You don’t know why you would choose him to break down to, or why that would even be a good idea in the slightest, but after weeks and weeks of Eden’s calloused, rough fingers, snatching your neck, hair, chains, pinning you down and slapping you around and- and- and everything, your weakened body melts under his touch. A simple touch of hands that aren’t Eden’s, and you’re sobbing, broken from your horrible experience, and before you know it, you’re crying into Briar’s chest while he holds you.

You don’t know how much time passes, or how much did you say – babbling about hunters and wolves and Bailey and money, Briar just sat there and let you vent, tears and snot on his silky shirt and his hand caressing your hair.

The thugs he brought with him look confused when your violent sobs finally calm down, while Briar is just... thinking. Still smiling.

“... and that’s why you need the money, darling?”

He finally asks as you slowly pull away, yet his hold on your waist keeps you practically on his lap, you dont know how you got there. You nod, wiping away the tears that you’ve run out of by now.

“Ah, I see now...”

Bailey has made himself such a great business, hasn’t he? Briar thinks as he looks down at the cute little thing that has just clung to him with such desperation it stopped him from slapping it’s snotnosed face away before it’d touch him. He can’t help but be a little jealous of the caretaker’s idea, that’s a steady income of good cash with no police on his ass... But then again, Briar didn’t have to change diapers of his whores at any point in his career. He decides it’s not that bad of a deal he has going on himself.

But he’s conflicted, on what should he do with you, on how much he’s going to care about your silly problems...

“I’m... sorry...” you suddenly mutter, unable to look him in the eyes anymore, and you instantly have his attention again. “I didn’t mean to... I-I’ll have your money, i promise, just- could i work it off, please, sir-“

“So cute, darling, that you think you’re worthy of it.”

He chuckles, and tears and shame immediately fill your eyes again, you’re practically pleading him to throw you in a crowd and have them break you down completely.

It would be your fault at this point, for being this pathetic.

But, Briar doesn’t do that, he doesn’t do any of what would be expected of him.

“Darling~” he practically purrs, leaning down to be almost face to face, “you should’ve just came to me if you were in that much trouble, daddy could help you~”

Your eyes widen and you almost try to wiggle away, but he holds you firmly, pulls you closer, and he knows you can feel how hard he got just under you. Yet, you stop fighting that you never really began, he can see it in the way you look down and back at him that you’re considering the options.

Briar liking you is a good option.

Briar liking you is always a good option.

“sorry...” you mumble, small hands shaking as they reach for Briar’s shoulders.

“That’s right, be sorry... Why would I want to loose my little star? To some brute in the forests, neverless...”

He’s manhandling you, pulling you closer, ignoring the thugs behind you that know how to mind their own business, Briar’s rings brushing against your jaw as he cups it and brings your face right to his, his breath soft on your lips.

“My best little whore?~”

He says it like its your name, it sends shivers down your spine, this man is about to devour you and yet you’re hypnotized, holding your breath, a bunny in a snake’s embrace.

“I want you to come to me next time, love. Come running with your tail between your legs and I will find a way for you to make as much as you need. Do you understand?~”

You nod, and he moves closer, seals the distance between you with a tender kiss, it leaves you breathless and you pull yourself towards him to return it, but the touch of his lips doesn’t last long and he backs off in a tease. You shouldn’t expect another one anytime soon, not with Briar. His kisses are gifts, offers of love, rarer that diamonds and there to lure his prey in.

And you took the bait like a touch starved whore, already leaking through your undergarments and whining for another, before Briar’s hand on your head stops you.

He pushes you down and you find yourself kneeling between his legs, looking up at him like he’s your god, and in a way, he is.

The one who came to save you.

“Show daddy how grateful you are for his offer, darling.”

He tells you as he reaches to light up his cigar again, and you do, you hold onto his thighs and you mouth at his cock so desperately to prove you’re good, that you’re worth it. And as if you weren’t there, Briar talks to his goons about things that you can’t understand, your mind empty and nothing but him in your head and heart and throat.

Your god, your savior, your... daddy.

And while you’re tearing up with effort to please him, prove your worth, Briar’s mind is also somewhere else. Namely, just how pretty your face will be once he cuts you off again, and you can’t pay Bailey. How twisted in disgust and agony it will be when you’re covered in worms at the underground brothel.

How grateful it will be once Briar graciously swoops in and saves you, once again, from himself.
