Trivia and reference Cuphead Comics season 1:

Against Elder Kettle's warnings, the brothers enter the Devil's Casino and begin playing craps. 

• It is possible to refer to The Cuphead Show season 3 episode 11,, The Devil and Ms. Chalice" when Cuphead mindlessly ran to the casino like it tempted him and Chalice and Mugman chase after him to stop him.

Cuphead seems to be based on Mickey Mouse and Mugman seems to be based on Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.

Elder Kettle may based on the character Mr. Coffeepot from the 1935 Van Beuren cartoon Picnic Panic. Both characters even have cup-like children that they care for.

King Dice is heavily based on Cab Calloway, a famous American jazz singer who notably appeared Betty Boop cartoons with his songs.

• he was the Devil's right-hand man in the game, while in The Cuphead Show he was the Devil's number one

The Devil's design is based on the devil from "Hell's Bells", a short from Silly Symphonies.

•  He bears similarities to is Ursula from The Little Mermaid. He strikes deals with people just as Ursula strikes deals with merfolks. (Why do they keep contracts? They probably kicked his ass) Also, he said "Poor unfortunately soul" is referencing to Ursula's song "Poor Unfortunate Souls"

• He is inspired by Hades from Hercules. That's explain his quote "Going once... Going twice.".

• When the Devil is defeated by Cuphead and Mugman, he said "I hate cups" It's referencing to The Cuphead Show.

• In the finale fight, Devil call Henchman is referencing to the Cuphead Show, where starring Henchman, the Devil's assistant.

Legendary Chalice has a habit of being captured by the ghosts in mausoleums everytime. Shan Lee, Werner Werman and Goopy Le Grande telling their about mausoleums and powers named Super Arts.

• Why did they know? Because Goopy has hallucinations when he saw her. Shan Lee was curious about her. And Werner intends to kill her, but misses.

While many believe the names of the Root Pack are "Moe Tato", "Weepy", and "Psycarrot", these are unofficial names created by fans. But now they named their "Sal Spudder", "Ollie Bulb" and "Chauncey Chantenay".

The Root Pack may have been inspired by other anthropomorphic vegetables from cartoons such as The Tears of an Onion (1938) and The Fresh Vegetable Mystery (1939).

• In The Cuphead Show season 1 episode 7 "Root Pack", they are the main antagonists, because they sneak into Elder Kettle's shack, while Cuphead and Mugman have to look after his garden and then they eaten the shack's soil when the two cups catch them.

His name, Goopy Le Grande, means Goopy The Great in Italian.

• "Le Grande" is also a pun on "El Grande" (Spanish for "The Big") and "Le Grand" (French for "The Big").

Goopy Le Grande's design are homages to the Slime, a common enemy and the mascot of Dragon Quest, and cartoons such as Ub Iwer's Balloon Land. 

• Cuphead call him Rocky Balboa is referencing to Rocky Balboa, the main character from Rocky starring Sylvester Stallone.

Hilda Berg is connected to Betty Boop and Pearl from Steven Universe.

Her name is a pun on the Hindenburg, an infamous German zeppelin known for its destruction at New Jersey field in 1937.

• Hilda Berg makes an appearance in The Cuphead show season 2  epidoes 2 , "Charmed & Dangerous", where she as cameo. Whereas in Cuphead (my version), she knows them. Plus she knows astrology.

Cagney Carnation is tribute to famous animated flora from the 1932 Disney Silly Symphony cartoon Flowers and Trees through the 1930s and beyond. His first name came from the famous 1930s film star James Cagney.

• Cagney reminds of Flowey the Flower from game Undertale.

Cagney's idle animation in his first phase is a direct reference to the dancing style of a ghost in the 1930 Talkartoon "Swing You Sinner!"

Ribby and Croaks are based on Ryu and Ken from the Street Fighter series

Their color schemes may also have been inspired by the Frog and Toad children's stories by Arnold Lobel.

Ribby and Croaks may have been inspired by the Battletoads.

• Ribby and Croaks are supporting  and recurring characters in The Cuphead Show!. They were originally boxing champions, but their mother disapproved of it, since she hate to see her sons boxing each other. So that's why they wearing suits.

• They are the main antagonists in The Cuphead Show episode 3 " Ribby and Croaks". The funny thing is that they fight each other.

Djimmi is based off the Genie from the 1992 Disney film, Aladdin. Actually, some scenes (in my version) refer to Aladdin. For example, "I can't believe it. I'm losing to a cups". Also, Cuphead call him Robbie Williams, who voiced Gienie ( RIP Robbie Williams)

• Many also compare Djimmi to Patrick Star from SpongeBob SquarePants due to his facial expressions and shape.

The pipe in Djimmi's mouth is a mixture of the Calabash pipe (used by Sherlock Holmes portrayed by Basil Rathbone) and the Corncob pipe (commonly used by Popeye the Sailor in all of his cartoons).

Djimmi falls in love with Shan Lee. At first they're friends, but later they're couples.

Shan Lee is daughter of sun goddess. That means she is demigoddess. She prayed to the gods in a Chinese words.

She is inspired by fighting woman in fighter games such as Chun Li from Street Fighter or Li Mei from Mortal Kombat

• Her appearance resembles female Monk from Diablo 3.

Cuphead call her " Tigress". It doesn't bother her because:

• It symbolises bravery and strength, the tiger is known as the king of the beasts throughout Chinese culture.

• It's referencing to Tigress from Kung Fu Panda.

Her phase 2 with pose references to disney movie 1998  Mulan, where Mulan fighting Shan Yu.

Beppi's name is a reference to Tito Beppi, a clown portrayed by Lon Chaney in the 1928 film Laugh, Clown, Laugh.

• He reminds of Pennywise, the main antagonists of Stephen King's novel and Horror movie ,,It"

He said ,,Why so serious? " is refence to Dark Knight, when Joker say same.

Beppi is a homage to Fleischer's iconic character Koko the Clown of the Betty Boop cartoons and 1930s animation

Baroness Von Bon Bon seems to be inspired by the French queen Marie Antoinette. This is indicated by her utilization of her cake castle in her final phase, referencing the phrase "Let them eat cake".

Her name, Bon Bon, is used in various languages (like French or many Balkan countries) for candy.

She throws her head at Cuphead and Mugman could be a reference to The Queen Of Hearts in Alice In Wonderland. The Queen's popular quote is "Off with his/her head!"

• In The Cuphead Show season 2 episode 5 "Sweet Temptation" Baroness is main antagonist. Why? Because she is an evil, psychol and murderous individual that turns children who break her rules into candy so she can eat them. But in Cuphead ( my version) she is an sweet, beautiful, loving and a little aggressive and dramatic, who she is Ruler of Sugarland and Cuphead falls in love with her.

Baroness is inspired by Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time.

• In The Cuphead Show, She very coincidentally resembles Mommy Long Legs from Poppy Playtime, as they both initially claim to help the protagonists but end up trying to kill them in the end.

Grim Matchstick was named after Grim Natwick, a legendary animator notable for his designing of Fleischer's Betty Boop and Disney's Snow White, with his stutter also being a direct reference to Natwick.

Grim's personality matches that of the Dragon from The Reluctant Dragon, as both characters are wanting to prove that they are friendly and yearn to gain acceptance into society among their peers.

• He also bears a resemblance to Taro from The 7th Voyage of Sinbad which is one of the creatures animated via stop-motion by Ray Harryhausen.

• Grim's facial structure, complete with a pointed muzzle, bears a small resemblance to that of Maleficent's dragon form the 1959 Disney film, Sleeping Beauty.

• He also bears a physical resemblance to Grimm from Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders.

His final, three-headed form is presumably based off of King Ghidorah from the Godzilla or the Hydra, a three-headed dragon from Greek mythology

Cuphead call him "Wawel Dragon". It's a famous dragon in Polish legend.

Grim have son.

• In The Cuphead Show Grim Matchstick is shown to have a child, implying that he might have a wife. Season 1 Episode 10 " Dangerous Mugman" Grim save his child from Porkrind ( How cute!)

Wally Warbles is inspired by the giant roc in Popeye the Sailor Meets Sinbad the Sailor 

• Wally's name may be a reference to Walter Lantz, founder of Walter Lantz Productions and creator of Woody Woodpecker.

• Wally looks similar to the buzzards from the 1931 Silly Symphony cartoon The Cat's Out.

The vehicle that his son, Willy, uses has a similar appearance and model to Bowser Junior's clown car.

Penelope Peaowl's song " I don't want to miss a thing " is refence to Aerosmith, rock band who they singing that song.

Final phase her showtime, she resembles Harpy, a half-woman and half-bird from Greek mythology.

In knockout, her boa choking her is similar boa constrictor - a species of snake from the constrictor family, one of the representatives of the boa subfamily.

Cuphead jokingly says that she and Rumor are lesbians.They really aren't.

Werner Werman is inspired Mortimer Mouse from the 1936 Disney short Mickey's Rival.

Due to the nature of the battle and inclusion of Katzenwagen, Werner's boss fight is a reference to the iconic Tom and Jerry cartoons.

• Werner's screaming similar to the iconic screams of Tom

• In The Cuphead Show Season 2 Episode 10 " Rats All Folks!" is most likely a parody of Tom & Jerry. ( Wener Werman is the main antagonist in the episode . Also he is small)

Werner's colour scheme, the shape of his muzzle, and his habit of constructing machines make him similar to Wile E. Coyote from Looney Tunes.

He also seems to be very similar to Vladimir from Nickelodeon's My Life as Teenage Robot, as they're both villainous rats with heavy accents (German for Werner, and Russian for Vladimir), and they attack their foes by using various weapons and automatons (Werner using his own soup-can tank, and Vladimir using Jenny, albeit only in his debut episode).

Werner speaks German accent.

Captain Brineybeard is a direct reference to Bluto from Popeye.

Brineybeard lost his legs by Cala Maria ( Sea Gorgon) to save his daughter ( in my version)

• In The Cuphead Show season 2 episode 3 "A High Seas Adventure! " he as stone by Cala Maria lost his legs by Mugman ( by accident)

• He is madly in love with her ( Yup. He is simp)

Brineybeard's song ,"Yo, Ho, Ho (And a Bottle of Rum)" is refence to Treasure Island, where pirates singing that song.

Cala Maria was human, and she have job as archaeologist ( reference to Lara Croft from Tomb Raider), and then she was possessed by spirit and transformed to giant monster aka Sea Gorgon ( or Sea Beast in The Cuphead Show) referencing to Enchatress (June Moone), super villain from DC Comics.

• Luckey, she was back to normal by Dr Kahl.

Her have last name "Neptune", that reference to Neptune ( Poseidon), god of sea.

Her level name is incredibly similar to that of a level in the game Crash Bandicoot: Twinsanity, named High Sea Hi-Jinks.

She is most likely inspired by Ariel from Disney's The Little Mermaid, as evident to being both mermaids

• Her skin color is similar to that of Ursula from The Little Mermaid.

• Her electrocution is similar to the former's death, as when she is killed, her skeleton is also seen. Additionally, the eels helping her may be referencing Flotsam and Jetsam, two eels who act as Ursula's henchmen.

Cala Maria's second form is based on the infamous Gorgon Medusa from Greek mythology.

• The fact that this is an air battle against might be inspired by the battle with Medusa in chapter 9 of Kid Icarus: Uprising.

• Her floating head form in the final phase is a reference to Medusa being decapitated by Perseus in Greek mythology, which has also been referenced in other video games featuring Medusa, such as the Medusa Head, a recurring enemy and boss in the Castlevania series.

When transforming into her third phase, her body turns to stone and her arms fall off, making it resemble the famous statue, Venus de Milo.

She has a similar name and color pallete to Celia Mae from the Disney Pixar film Monsters Inc., another gorgon-based character who has snakes for hair.

Mugman falls in love with her.

• Cala Maria and Mugman being love interests in the latter's book in “The I Scream Man“ in The Cuphead Show Season 2 ep 6 "The I Scream Man"

Dr. Kahl was inspiration from other mad scientists in other platforming game franchises, such as Dr. Wily from Mega Man, Dr. Eggman from Sonic the Hedgehog, or Dr. Neo Cortex from Crash Bandicoot.

His robot similar to the Iron Giant from The Iron Giant ( He haved GIANT, but now gave FRANK)

• Dr Kahl's phase of the fight seems to bear a strong resemblance to the battle with N. Gin from Crash Bandicoot: Warped.

The Robot's presentation is ancillary to Rayman 2 The Great Escape, where the Seller visits Razorbeard and introduces Grolgoth as the Pirate's solution to Rayman's problem.

The invention of the "Beauty Machine" refers to the video game Banjo Kazooie, this machine works and managed to make Cala beaty and normal.

Robot say "BITE MY SHINE METAL ASS" is refence to Futurama, when Bender say same.

Rumor Honeybottoms was inspired to Honey Woman, an unused boss character from Capcom's Mega Man 9.

Security Bee seems to be inspired by a policeman ant from the 1940 cartoon Ants in the Plants, as both have similar designs.

• His design may have been inspired by Buzz the Bee, the Honey Nut Cheerios mascot.

• Also inn The Cuphead Show!, there are multiple security bees, but these security bees come in both genders and their colour schemes appear more green-ish. Their presence may suggest that Rumor Honeybottoms may be present in some way.

Sally Stageplay may have been inspired by Sally Swing, a blonde character from Betty Boop. 

• She has a similar color scheme to Sally Brown from Peanuts, who also (albeit coincidentally) has her given name.

In Cuphead Show season  3 episode 3 "Cupstaged", Sally Stageplay enters the theater pretending to have rabies to demonstrate what acting is. ( I love Marcia Gay Harden, who she voiced Sally ! 💖)

The Phantom Express is an homage to the Ghost Train from Final Fantasy VI. A musical nod to this train is included in Railroad Wrath

• The background for this fight is inspired by the 1929 Disney cartoon The Skeleton Dance.

Cuphead said to the Devil ''We'll never turn to the dark side" is reference to Star Wars: Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

in the end Cuphead and Mugman married Baroness Von Bon Bon and Cala Maria ( In my version) this refers to the fanatic CupheadxBaroness and MugmanxCalaMaria ( I mean others prefer another relationship romantic, but for me...whatever. ) .

"It looks like we snagged another one Chief,” Dalish calls out to him through his open door as she passes him on her way to the back of the guild hall. “And here I thought we were about to hit a record for this dry spell.”

Bull glances up, pausing as he details the latest reports back to headquarters. Pentaghast has been on his ass about reports lately. It’s not as if she’s the one reading them. But ever since she’s’ tasked herself with single handedly rebuilding the Seeker’s Guild and committing them to the Inquisition Alliance she’s gone paper-work crazy. He’s never seen her like it before. Leliana is treating this like some kind of miracle, but she’s not the one who’s being peppered with a dozen pages of correspondence every week and being nagged about his communications back to the High Table.

He’s former Qun. He knows how to handle reports. He just figures that the High Table doesn’t need to know about the exact amount of chickens have been served at the local branch of the Herald’s Rest and for what price, or how many E ranked quests he currently has posted and available for repeat, or how many coins are currently in the guild branch coffers for reward use. They don’t need to know those little details. He’s pretty sure that if every single one of the various guild masters running the different branches of the Herald’s Rest reported that shit in every damn week Josephine and Leliana and Rutherford would personally come to each location to have them assessed and replaced.

They want the bigger stuff. Like how many Adventurers have ranked up, how many new licenses have been granted, the state of the quest and requisition boards and the ratio of completion to failures, status on monster subjugation and control of demonic miasma in the area, a census on the population. That’s the stuff they want.

But Bull’s yet to convince Pentaghast of that, and from the sound of it neither has Sera or de Fer or Sutherland or literally any of the other Guild Masters who come together under the Inquisition’s alliance banner.

So here he is, stuck in his office, filling out page after page of dull trivia that no one wants to read but Pentaghast, when he could be out in front listening in on the gossip and rumors and maybe contributing to a few of them too.

“Well don’t leave me hanging,” Bull yells after her, “What am I working with?”

It’s been a while since the last one came in. He thinks they gave up on the second part. It was just too hard. Which was the point, really.

He had to appear reasonable. That’s why the first challenge is so easy to complete. The second one appears easy but then you have to actually start it and that’s when people have their little epiphany that he’s not as easy as he seems.

Better to just confront him directly. Chances of success are several hundreds of times higher than going about it the other way.

Dalish ignores him in favor of doing whatever it is she was doing. Bull sighs and pushes his letters aside, standing to see to this himself.

He meanders to the front of the guild hall where Rocky is currently managing the reception desk. The man looks like he’s in the middle of sorting out payment for a completed quest so Bull lingers by the quest board until he’s done.

A few of the notices for C and B class quests have been taken down since he last checked this morning after the night shift switched out. None of the more worrisome ones. Mostly extermination and escort requests. Several of their D ranked quests are repeatable so Bull doesn’t have a way to keep tabs on how many people are out doing those. He doesn’t bother to check their E ranked ones.

They only have two A ranked quests and Bull expects he’ll have to go out to take care of those himself soon. There hasn’t been an adventurer with a suitable rank to take one of those on in this area for a while. Or he could flag down Blackwall and see if the man’s in the mood for it. He’s got to get bored hanging around the main branch eventually. There’s only so much wood a guy can chop and only so many rocking horses or rocking griffons or rocking whatever’s you can make.

Bull heads over to Rocky, gesturing for the daily log.

“Who’ve we got this time?” Bull asks, scanning the entries until he finds the familiar title of his own quest.

“Just missed her,” Rocky says.

So it’s a her.

“Red hair?”

“No,” Rocky rolls his eyes.

“Damn.”

Ellana Lavellan. Rank B adventurer. No guild affiliation. Bull taps his finger against her name. Quest reward given about twenty minutes ago.

“And no one thought to call me out so I could take a look myself? Details.”

“Well.” Rocky glances around the Herald’s Rest. Literally half of the people here must be listening in right now. The other half are too exhausted or drunk to pay attention. “I think she did it on accident. We’ve had a few of those before. Part one is easy enough.”

Bull hums.

Part one of his quest is just finding the correct plants needed to make his preferred blend of vitaar. The area they’re located in has plenty enough of that, and Bull also didn’t stipulate they had to be from here. Someone could, in theory, just buy them and bring them in. Hell. Bull’d even reimburse them for it. It’s part of the quest reward.

“Did she accept part two?” Bull asks.

“Didn’t get a chance to ask, actually,” Rocky replies. “She came in, asked if the plants were in good condition to be turned in for quest rewards, got her money, and left.”

“Huh.” Maybe she doesn’t know. He’s never seen her tag before, so it’s entirely possible. “Well. Keep an eye, I guess.”

Chances of completing part one by accident are pretty high.

Completing part two?

Nah.

I want to know more about Mari! Tell us some things about her you haven't shared, what are some of her deep buried secrets? THE WORLD MUST KNOW! (if its alright with you, of course)

Three months late better than never, right?

I have gone through everything I’ve written and all the little trivia bits I’ve got for her to find stuff I haven’t shared before, and I did come up with a little list of facts. Some of these are a little on the TMI / NSFW side, so those will go under a cut just to be safe.

It’s also possible that some of these things have been shared before, but I’m re-including some of the more important ones to have a more comprehensive list.

Mari’s Early Life:

- She was born in 9:10 Dragon, in the city of Amaranthine. Her parents had fled Kirkwall while her mother Leandra was pregnant with her, after securing passage to Ferelden, they arrived in the city and had to stop while Leandra gave birth.

- She was named Marian after her great-grandmother on her mother’s side. Her middle name, Adrianna, came from her grandmother on her father’s side.

- In Lothering, her family had a farm on the outskirts.

- As a young child, she learned how to paint and how to play the violin.

- She had a close relationship with her sister Bethany, but a rocky relationship with her brother Carver.

- Mari frequently did odd jobs for the people of Lothering, mainly running deliveries and messages for other villagers. She was also frequently taking jobs from the Chanter’s Board, and had a reputation as the "Questing Woman Around Town.”

- She had two friends in Lothering, a boy named Daniel and a girl named River. At different points in her life, Mari had crushes on both of them. She was always too shy to admit it to either of them. Eventually Mari was heartbroken when the two of them began courting. She was so distraught that she joined the king’s army to fight at Ostigar.

Mari’s Kirkwall Life:

- While in Athenril’s employ, she broke three of her toes.

- After moving into the Hawke Estate, she taught herself how to play the lute.

- In my headcanon story, the events of DA2 as we know them didn’t quite happen the same way. The events themselves happened, but Varric’s story spread really far and most people believe his version of events. Varric’s story had Mari being more heroic and eager to fight when in reality she was much more pacifistic and would avoid fighting as much as possible.

- Her favorite outfit she had was a red dress. The same one I often draw her wearing based on this dress:

- Mari had a HUGE crush on Aveline, but respected that she was not interested in women.

Mari’s Post DA2 Life:

- In my headcanon timeline, the gap between act 2 and act 3 is only one year instead of three. This does make the gap between DA2 and DAI longer, but it gives Mari more time for her adventures in between games.

- In my story, Legacy happens immediately after the events of DA2. After Legacy, Mari began traveling solo. She did not keep in contact with any of her friends during this period of her life, and doesn’t like to talk about what it was like for her, so what is known during these couple years is limited.

- Sometime after DA2, Mari tracks down her family from her father’s side. She discovered that her father had a brother who lived in Markham. She eventually did find him and got to meet her uncle. She even got to meet her grandfather and five cousins she never knew she had.

- She reconnected with her childhood friend Daniel Rowan by chance in Markham. He owed money to a group of Carta bandits, and she paid a part of his debt for him. Daniel was so grateful that he offered to let Mari stay on his farm for however long she needed. Roughly a year later, the Carta came back, demanding even more money. Daniel again couldn’t pay and they killed him. Mari was also attacked but she killed them all. Because of the attack, she had to flee Markham and resume traveling again.

- It’s never clear how far Mari and Daniel’s relationship really went, some say she and him were engaged, other say they were married. The one fact that is known is that she had a daughter with him.

- Mari only discovered she was pregnant after Daniel was killed. She secretly returned to Kirkwall to have her child. The only people who knew she was there were Varric and Aveline.

Misc. Traits and Facts:

- Mari is 5 feet, 5 inches tall.

- Mari has her mother’s shape of face, but she has her father’s hair color, eye color, and nose shape.

- Out of the four archer OCs I have, Mari is the best archer.

- Mari is plus-sized. This does give her a slight disadvantage in combat as a rogue, which is why she prefer to use archery over daggers.

- She’s self conscious about the large size of her ears.

TMI / NSFW:

- She obviously didn’t do it around the house because of others who live in her home, but Mari would often spend her time in her bedroom nude.

- She didn’t lose her virginity until she was 28. She was not very knowledgeable of sex, even at that age and her first time ended with her running out of the room in embarrassment.

- She has a mole on her right breast.

Tempest (Stefan Butler x fem!S/O)

pairing: Stefan Butler x fem!s/o

warnings: none

word count: 1k (edit: did i write ‘none’? honestly I have no explanations)

summary: just some Stefan fluff for your souls my dudes

(gif not mine)

“Tetris.”

“Super Mario Bros.”

“Street Fighter.”

“Rocky’s Boots.”

“Space Quest.”

“Track and Field.”

“Donkey Kong.”

“Gauntlet.”

“The Prisoner.”

“No, you can’t use the articles as letters.”

“But it has it in the title!”

“Still, it’s not the actual name.”                                          

“That’s not fair, you’re already superior to me, I have no chance of winning if you keep throwing me back like that!”

“Sorry, I don’t make the rules.”

“Stefan!”

It smells like oranges and rain in his room. It’s dimly lit, the sounds of fingers pressing keys and raindrops hitting the window mix together into one calming rhythm. This is the third game we play today and I can’t win Stefan for the death of me. He’s just too good, I often wonder if there is something video-game related that he doesn’t know. Haven’t found an answer to that one yet.

“C’mon, you can name more,” he looks over his shoulder and gives me a small smile. The bed screeches underneath me as I move to its edge.

“I already named mine, it’s your turn!” I can see Stefan battling with my begging eyes right now because he turns away knowing that if he keeps looking at me he will let me have it.

“Sorry, Buttercup, you gonna have to think of another one.”

I whined and started bouncing on the mattress out of indignation.

“Stefan,” I stretched the vowels in his name, trying to draw his attention. Stefan was holding back a smile, continuing to enter the codes that appeared one after another on his screen. After entering another line, he looked at me softly.

“You know this one.”

He started forming the letter ‘T’ with his mouth, his eyes urging me to continue after him. I mirrored him but since I had no idea what he was talking about I just sat there nodding with an endless ‘T’ stuck on my lips.

“TRON,” Stefan finished for me and smirked as I rolled my eyes.

“Okay, fine, you’re super-clever. Your turn.”

“What? No, you didn’t say your game, it’s still your turn.”

“Stop being so cruel to me!” I moaned. “You spin in all this game trivia constantly, of course you know more games than me, you’re a genius.”

“No, I’m not, I’m just a quicker thinker.” He chuckled shyly, flattered by my phrasing. He knows I mean it. He keeps waving me off every time, but I know that it means something to him. Well, I hope it does.

“I hate you,” groaning, I roll my eyes at him, “remind me to never play this game with you again.”

“You love me,” Stefan jokes, not even looking at me. Yet, for some reason, I freeze in my place and fix my gaze on him. We’ve never exchanged any big phrases like that. We care for each other, of course, we do. We’ve been together for over a year now, I visit the Butlers’ house so often that it probably looks like I already live here. I even think that Stefan’s dad sees me more than he sees Stefan because I always walk around the house doing something. I notice all the small things: how Stefan relaxes every time he sees me, how Stefan’s dad looks at me, gratitude in his eyes. I feel the affection and care every living second with Stefan, but I don’t think he knows how much he means to me. I don’t think I ever show him enough.

I jump out of my thoughts to find Stefan’s eyes looking at me with worry. Uh-oh, I was silent for too long. Before I can say anything, he starts stuttering.

“I—um—sorry, I didn’t—I didn’t mean to—um—to strain you like that, just forget what I—“

“I do,��� I interrupt him, dead serious. He looks at me startled. “I love you, Stefan. I love you.”

Suddenly, I feel so sad, almost heartbroken. A lump starts growing in my throat as I begin to repeat my confession over and over until tears start running down my face. Stefan’s flirtatious joke uncorked all the feelings I had for him, making them spill out chaotically.

Stefan jumped out of his chair and rushed over to me in panic, cupping my face hastily and looking in my eyes, searching for a reason for my sudden outbreak.

“No-no-no, don’t cry, please, anything but cry, you can’t cry,” tear after tear, he wipes them away, but they just keep dropping off my lashes. “Why are you even crying?”

“I don’t know.” Realizing how stupid this whole situation is I suddenly start laughing. I laugh so hard I start wheezing. Stefan looks at me in absolute terror; he doesn’t know what to do. Second ago, I was crying rivers, and now I was laughing as if I heard the most hilarious thing in the world.

“You’re worrying me,” he confessed, still looking at me in confusion. I shook my head and kissed him hard, sending all of my emotion through my lips to his.

“I just love you, Stefan.”

He looked at me in utter happiness and pulled into a tight hug. I felt his nose nuzzling in my neck. His soft breaths tickled my skin.

“I love you too. More than anything.” He pressed me even closer to his chest. “You mean so much to me. So much.”

“You mean to me more,” I moved away and squeezed his pink freckled cheeks together. Suddenly, a revelation hits me and I squeak. “Tempest!”

“What?” He raised his brows confused.

“The game!”

He laughed, relieved it wasn’t bad news and pecked my nose. His eyes shined in the yellow light of the table lamp. I smiled and sniffed, satisfied with my answer.

“See? I told you, you knew this one.”
