#wish there was more we could do to support him than just thru buying his music bc i sincerely think he deserves far more than just to get by

[batslime]

theres a lot of aspects about the Chris situation that sucks and it gets worse the more he talks about it but I think the worst part is we’ll probably never know the *entire* story, we’re all just kinda left to deal with the whiplash and do the best we can to support him.

[art-of-mathematics]

The urge to buy that 16GB RAM Samsung galaxy book pro that has no awful WIN11 is too damn huge.

Like, every specification is utter perfection. And it has been available since more than half a year.... but I just can't afford. And this shop/internet service shop almost never has such nice powerful notebook PCs (other than apple products, but I hate the incompatibility between different OS'...)

Like, I will only be able to somewhat afford it when it won't be buyable anymore.... like august... and it's so shit!

I really consider asking my Dad if he can somehow help me find a solution. I really want it, somewhat also partially need a new, powerful one, but I don't want to burden him with unneccessary financial burdens... also because it's a not-so-small sum... Although he always tells me if I want something I can tell him and we will find a solution. (Like making it a birthday - and christmas present). I am also glad my really morbid buying addiction is 'cured' since more than half a year, as it was severely endangering.... if my dad hadn't helped me, I would be literally homeless now.... unfortunately the buying addiction was a strange side-effect of the year -long medical knock-out, as it literally stopped me from thinking about my own actions, and resulted in impulsive buying... It was literally medically-induced, as I got off of the last neuroleptic entirely in August almost two weeks later I also hadn't even an urge to buy or scroll thru webshops at all... I found myself doing it everyday for hours and it was so awful! Furthermore I could find my cognitive abilities were available again for pursuing my special interests... since they lacked during the awfully long period of wrong medication...

I still feel like shit for literally having exploited my dad... yet I am thankful he helped me and glad I have overcome this entirely now! He could not believe when the buying addiction literally stopped. But he saw direct results and restored his hope in my buying control and my health.

I see it as success over the buying addiction, because since like 6 months I have the strong urge to buy that notebook PC, yet I can resist.

He gets paid not so few actually, he even told me. Yet, I also do not want to exploit it. As I think it is utter assholeyness. He often asks me if we want to go shopping some shoes or such, I tell him I have enough shoes and stuff. That it is nice of him, but from a pragmatic standpoint I have enough I need. And often he asks me if I need cash. But I also never really needed cash since many months now, and tell him that it is nice he offers it, but he should just take it, or maybe that I will take that offer another time.

Maybe I should approach him sincerely that I think about that laptop for a long time and why I want it - and if he knew a way I can order it. I don't want to exploit him. Also, I only approach him with such wishes if it is merely urgent, he knows it. And I know it's not a sum that is basic... Yet I know he is financially more than stable - yet I also don't want to abuse this knowledge. This knowledge just helps me to consider if my wish is irrationally huge and might hurt him in some ways or if it might still be ok.... I dunno.

He knows my entire work heavily depends on a powerful PC and he also supports my efforts in learning, coding, all sorts PC-related. Also he knows I heavily consider cost-performance/efficiency-ratio.

Whatever way he reacts, I actually think he may not become angry, as I didn't approach him yet since he offered it with any wishes and also didn't cause financial issues since the buying addiction stopped. Also I would be okay if he says no, as I can understand and don't want to 'force' him. Yet, I still think he might think about it and come back to me few days later. (This sounds manipulating of me actually) - yet, I am honest. I do not want to cause financial issues upon him or him feeling some sort of weirdly guilty for not fullfilling the wish - it sounds dumb, but my dad is somewhat a lil bit warm-hearted and feels guilty for no reason at all. Yet I also know if I offer him I pay like 20-30 euro per month from the 54-70 euro monthly bill he would not want it. I also do not want to make this argument to make him feel more forced due to causing more guilty feelings.

I don't know... maybe I am just manipulative.. or am I honest? I sincerely do not know. Maybe I will tell him about how I feel about my wish and that I worry to cause unneccessary distress for him. Or I should just suck it up and not tell him?

... yet I would be really sad if the offer is gone. I might approach him softly with this topic. And won't push or become argumentative. I think that might be the better solution. However he will react, I might certainly understand his reaction.

Damn... Maybe I am also too privileged that I have a dad who helps me financially...

Although he often tends to be some sort of hurtful, he is fully okay if you consider understanding his perspective... He appears grumpy from the outside, but his intentions are often innocent actually. He is very helping and supporting in certain areas. And I think it is the intentions that matter.

I once remember when I started T he recognized positive changes in my mentality and mood, and he honestly said, if it helps me have a better life, than he is entirely for it! Hearing it from his mouth, who has always been a bit trans-and homophobic, was sincerely touching? I dunno... I remember telling him I'mma transition more than a year ago, he was not aggressive or insulting, sure he made some jokes, but they didn't appear directly hurtful for me. Primarily it was a shallow pun, It was his coping mechanism, and it was merely mild in my opinion. I understand his difficulty, and when I see how he adapts his behavior I see his real intentions, his "transphobia" is no aggressive hate, it's merely just 'being uncomfortable with the issue"... if he's uncomfortable, he turns silly... I do the same when uncomfortable issues arize, although I am trying to be more sensible with people's identities and issues.

So after all, despite the shit I sometimes tell of his behavior and how I perceive it sometimes, it's not the full story. He has certain similarities to myself to be honest. He often wants to appear as the 'tough guy', but in reality he is actually a sweatheart - somewhat haha.. His intentions become clear if you try to understand him.... often it is just shitty misunderstandings, or me reacting awfully because trauma response/rejection sensitivities.

In the end, maybe he just wants me to find my way in life, to become happy, to be able to follow my profession. Maybe he is also just too frustrated of the overall situation and doesn't know how to cope himself, nor does he know how he could really help me solve the root issue.

After all he is still supportive, and even cares for my needs, as he knows I really struggle to care for myself, such as eating. He often invites me to the food he prepares. And actually that is something that makes me really happy, not because the food, but because of his gesture.

Ohh, I remember last year, when I felt so awful, I visited my mom, and every day she cooked so wonderful meals. I often almost shed in tears because it was so touching, as I know how hard she struggles with cooking, how difficult her own life is, how much strength it costed her after work and still do it. She didn't have to.... yet she wanted. And this was the most precious thing! As I really struggled to eat, and I often couldn't finish, despite it tasting well and me being thankful, I couldn't really express how thankful I was. It was so sad. She put so much effort into it. Yet everytime I tried. And one time I told her how happy it makes me that she does it despite her own unbearable struggles. And that it tastes so wonderful because of the special ingredient of 'love'... as clicheee as it sounds... Often I only tend to eat when it is done with this ingredient...

I remember one time I was hospitalized, and on the evening an intern dude asked me what I want to eat. And I told him I don't really have appetite, but whatever he might consider himself... He literally returned with a neat toast, somewhat extravagantly decorated with some tiny leaves. Other people wouldn't have felt touched by it, but it made me sincerely happy. And this was the actual only reason I ate it, as I knew he put some sort of thought into it. I was really thankful for encountering him and that he didn't lose his humane aspect and joy for not doing the ultimate least (or even less). Maybe because he was not hired by the clinic, which literally exploits its staff. He was not dead inside, not bitter. That made me sincerely happy.

I also remember 1.5 years ago when I was in the psych hospital, my dad came everyday just to bring me a lovely made bun with my favorite cheese and dill/parsley herbs, a banana, occassional granola/proteine bars, and this was often the only things I really ate without feeling fully awful. He didn't have to, yet he made it.

People making me food makes me very sentimental as I perceive it as a literal gift, also somewhat a gift directly from their heart. I can't express my thankfulness enough.

After all: How did we start from wanting a laptop to talking about the sentimental aspect of people making me food? That was a weird 'random walk' thru my mental loophole network again. See you next time with another thought wandering with totally unpredictable plot twists...

[momofaddict]

Well, I'm almost 5 months in. The struggle seems to get worse instead of better, which I halfway expected. I felt so numb in the beginning and distracted with having to take care of a baby at 52 years old.

It is absolutely bizarre the range of emotions that I have felt. I'm sickened by the relief that I feel not having a deal with her addiction anymore. I'm excited, exhausted, and totally feel robbed of the grandmother experience that I've spoken of so many times. I feel embarrassed and like a shitty grandma that I feel relief when my ex takes the baby oftentimes. He never, ever, ever seems exhausted or ready for a break the way that I do. I love that baby with every fiber of my being. But I think I have not yet mourned the loss of the life that I thought I was building for myself. Not to mention my ex barely works at all, so it's easy for him to have energy and excitement for taking the baby as often as possible. He has his own business painting houses. And between losing his daughter, his own depression, and the coronavirus pandemic, he has hardly worked lately. So on top of everything else, I'm paying his bills, because without that, he's unable to help me with the baby.

After Melody died we decided as a family that it would be best that my ex move into the dreaded condo. This is the same condo that my ex-mother-in-law lived in when she had her heart attack. And the same condo that my daughter overdosed in. But that fucking condo is paid off, it was bought with cash. So, because my ex was essentially homeless, he has to live there if he's going to help me. And the only bills are the HOA, and the utilities. Plus there's the added expense of Melody's car that my ex is driving, the car payments that go with it along with the insurance payments. So I'm literally paying all of those plus my own bills so I can have a few days on my own... Until the long awaited inheritance comes from my ex's mother's estate -which will be just enough for my ex to buy a van for his business, get his teeth fixed, and overall get back on his own 2 feet - then my paying his bills stops. Should be in June sometime.

I feel sickened even saying all this. I should be elated to have Melody's flesh and blood offspring in my life, and I am most of the time. Not to mention this kid is amazing. He is so joyful, completely has Melody's spirit, and is about as easy as a baby can be. But that doesn't make my struggle any less.

The level of guilt that I feel because I'm relieved when I have a break from the baby is reprehensible to me. The level of sadness and missing my daughter is incomprehensible to me every time that baby learns something new or does something new. I can literally hear her voice, her laughter, her love for her child every time he pulls up to stand or laughs or crawls or eats his dinner with his own hands or when he babbles "Mamamamama". That's by far when I miss her the most.

I also feel super guilty when I think about if she was still here, knowing the downward spiral that she was on before she overdosed. There's this devil and angel sitting on my shoulders arguing with each other about how I don't miss the addict, but I do miss my daughter. How do you reconcile that? I don't think you can.

I feel like if she was still here, she would be making my life a living hell as an addict, and would have probably died from Corona, because of the major lung and heart damage that she had done to herself, along with the reckless life that goes with being a heroin addict. But near the end of her life, she was literally fighting everyday to find long-term rehab. And what if she had gotten in? I feel like we would have been living the life that we had been for over a year that was clean and sober and fun as hell. There are just so many questions, and scenarios, it boggles my mind.

I found out a lot of stuff after she passed away. I found out that she was far more down the rabbit hole then I thought. She was living the addict life 100% over the last two to three months before she died. I thought that her grandmother getting sick and dying was the catalyst, for the most part. But now, as I said before, she was completely and utterly relapsed. How on God's green earth, after everything I've seen and been through, could I still be so fucking blind? And the pain doesn't stop there. Just the other day I found that my toolbox was missing. She clearly hocked it.

I'm just posting because I don't care what groups are out there for support, I still never feel like I can speak my brutal truth. Not to mention, groups like Nar-Anon and others are all about the God talk. I'm so fucking over the God talk. Can I just find a fucking group where we can just let loose of our feelings no matter how grotesque they are and not have to pray at the beginning in the end of it? I'm always strangely comforted to know when other people have been through what I've been through, while still being sick that this could happen to more than one person, not to mention hundreds of thousands of people. That's the only real reason I want to join any group at all, is just so I don't feel alone in all this mess. So in my mind, I have nowhere else to go accept my Tumblr blog.

I'm so lost, and so alone. I really, genuinely do not know how to deal with my shit. I need to be up and happy and perky for this baby, and for the most part I am. But when it's bedtime, and I'm playing one of mommy's videos for the baby while he drinks his bedtime bottle, he always smiles at a certain part, and I'm shattered every time. There's not a single soul on this Earth that knows how much pain I'm in, but not in the sense that one might think. Yes, I miss my baby girl more than words can express. But I'm so fucking glad the addict is gone. And I feel disgusted even saying that. I also feel a lot of guilt around not promoting his father's memories at all. There's a lot of resentment there, but I feel like the right thing to do is to make sure he remembers his father too. How do I resolve that?

And other logistical thoughts come to mind. Like I am going to be 70 when he turns 18. I'm going to die when he's fairly young (assuming I don't die younger of a car accident or some other stupid shit). It's so not fair to him. And I think about what am I supposed to tell him throughout the years? He's going to know who mama is thru videos on my phone, the pictures on the wall, and the gravesite that we visit all the time. I don't know how I'm going to answer the questions this sweet baby is going to have. I don't know how to tell him how much she loved him and make him understand that she did not choose drugs over him. Drugs chose her over life. I also need to make sure that I put in my will who will take the baby if I die. Let's look at the options... There's my sister who has desperately wanted a child over the last 10 years or so and is 48 years old. She's had mental health issues for as long as she's been alive. To put it bluntly, she's incompetent of having a child full time. She is also narcoleptic I think I mentioned before. Sorry honey, you've got to stay awake for this one. Then there's my ex, who loves the baby equally as I do. But he doesn't have a responsible bone in his body and is an anarchist and conspiracy theorist. He's incapable of taking care of a baby or child from a responsibility standpoint, not to mention the crazy shit he would put in his head as he gets older. Finally there's my son. He's pretty much the only one I would trust to do right by this child. But he's made it quite clear that he's never wanted to be a father. I did ask him about it, and he said that he would accept the task if it came to it. But I want someone who wants the baby, not has to take the baby, not just someone who would accept the responsibility.

I need help, no question about it. But no matter how many Google searches that I do, I can't find a single place or counselor where I can get very specific help for my issues. I don't want to let this baby down. I don't want to fuck him up either. I want to be the very best grandma and mother that I can be for him.

What do I do?

Oh and finally, I've been drinking a lot more - or more frequently. If it was up to me, I'd drink daily. Quantity wise, it's not that much. At most a bottle of wine, mostly when my ex has the baby, but sometimes after he's asleep for the night. I'm not trying to get drunk, per se. Just trying to unclench my muscles and stress. Sometimes it eases my sadness, sometimes it exacerbates it. Plus it helps me fall asleep, which has been a challenge for me since entering menopause. I take a 1/4 bar (.5mg) of Xanax frequently before bed to help sleep, and never up my dose (too scared). But if I skip a couple of days, by the 3rd day I have withdrawals that feel likey old anxiety attacks. I take a quarter & the symptoms fade. Well ain't that just the last thing that I need! I want to phase it out, but as long as I have sleep issues, a job, and a baby, I don't see how I can. I skip days purposely so it remains effective without taking higher doses. Now that I'm working from home, this would be a great time to phase out. But every time I try to skip, I'm tossing and turning all night - which is torture.

I just wish I could get into a yoga routine or any other exercise routine, as well as meditation. I know that that would help all of my issues. But gumption is not exactly my forte right now.

Hey, I've been your follower for years now and recently I've been through a breakup and I saw your post about it and I feel really sad I don't know how to move on and I just wanted to ask could u give some tips 😢❤❤❤ Love you and your blog so much!!! Sending you much love

Omg hi angel!!! 💕 im really sorry to hear that :( It sucks but we gonna get thru this baby

This will be a long post but also for anyone whos going thru a breakup rn, I'll type out everything that I wish someone told me before 😂

HOW TO WIN A BREAKUP

Ok so im gonna put shit that I know from expierence and as a psychology major so we have some gold hacks here on getting over a breakup 😏 First, I've personally had like quiete few breakups and honestly that FIRST ONE is ALWAYS the worst. If this is ur first breakup im rly sorry but its gonna suck for a while LMAO just remember that first one is the most painful but once you get over it its like antidote for life. No breakup will hurt that much as far as I know. Now lets start. U broke up youre sad, alone, crying, now what?

1. Call your friends. ALL OF THEM. I always felt my breakups before they happened and with this recent one I summoned all of my friends and they were all there with me before and after it happened. Venting helps and emotional support will be the first thing here. You are very vulnerable and sensitive right now and your emotions are all over the place probably. You're sad, angry, confused you wanna kill him all of that shit and having people there with who you can let out all those emotions is SO SO SO important i cant stress it enough. Dont bottle emotions D O N T its tempting but its toxic as fuck and it prolongs the healing. Buy junk food, have girls night, cry to your friends and talk about it until you don't feel need to anymore, cry more. Use all emotional support u can get, ur girls got u. BONUS TIP therapy helps alot. Ive been to therapy to help me sort my emotions out and its been super helpful. Remember also friends arent therapists, sometimes a professional help to guide thru emotions is the good choice too.

2. DELETE EVERYTHING you have that reminds you on them. I personally dont have hard time with it I know some people do but its also one of the most toxic things. Delete the pictures, chats, unfollow them block them even if u have to, mute, delete the songs that remind u of them. Literally erase their existence from your life. Due our brain not knowing difference between someone breaking up w us and someone dying pain we feel is intense and gets to point we feel physical pain. Memories trigger emotional responses and keep opening the wound. You need to heal. Patch it and let it heal. Dont poke it by seeing still things that remind u of them.

3. dO NOT STALK THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA. DONT DONT DONT. ITS LIKE DRINKING POISON EXPECTING THEM TO DIE??? What you could possibly find that will make u feel better??? Them posting that they miss you and want u back??? Nah sis, social media presence of people is so biased and its SO EASY to fake anything. You can misinterpret alot and you might also see stuff that will hurt u. Some of my exes (idk abt this last one tho bc I never stalked his social media since we broke up and im super proud on it) would post stuff that they know would hurt me or make me jealous or just some shady shit and you dont want to go in a place where u know someone just wants to hurt u. You are better than that. Protect your mental peace at all costs.

4. Journal. With this recent breakup I wrote like alot about it, i took my emotions and wrote paaaages. Let it all out. Draw abt it. Find ways to turn your pain in art.

5. DONT TEXT YOUR EX. CUT THEM OFF. its the best for you. You cant heal in a place you got hurt. If you wanna text them handle phone to ur best friend. I know whenever you are alone u will feel so lonely but trust me better call your friend than hit up ur ex LMAO We all still think we want our ex back even some time after breakup. We tend to idealize our exes in our heads and remember only the good times and stuff and then its just painful illusion. I know i did that alot with my exes so with this last one i decided to prevent it. Best way for that was to make a list of all the things he did that would hurt me, make me sad or mad and that i just didnt like abt him. Whenever I would feel im thinking I miss him I would read that list and see he wasnt so good and there was a reason that relationship ended. It will come to point u will see you werent happy and you will be slowly letting it go. He aint shit trust me.

6. Usually it takes 3 weeks for the worst symptoms of breakup to subdue bc our neurotransmitters need to balance again. Love is a drug and breakup is like withdrawal from cocaine addiction. Your body and mind will go through symptoms same as cocaine addict. Remember to be kind to yourself. Take care of yourself. I know for me issue was I would be like "get over it" and not allow myself to be hurt abt it. Be kind, you are going though huge emotional trauma and you deserve all the time and space to be hurt and feel it. Feelings are like visitors, you just have to accept them with out resistance and let them pass. Acceptance is the key.

7. Focus on yourself. You were so used on putting effort and energy into that person. Take all of that energy and put it back in YOU. Be selfish. Treat yourself. Date yourself. Write things you love about yourself. Rediscover your passions. Focus on school. On your beauty. dYE UR HAIR DO A TATTOO DO UR NAILS DO A FACEMASK PLAY SONGS SINGING HOW EXES AINT SHIT Fall in love with yourself. This is something that you will be ready to do when you processed all the emotions in healthy way.

8. Idk did i forget something but just to add this. "This too shall pass". You will heal. You will mend. Never close your heart to love again. You deserve love and one day you will have it. Dont let your pain make you push love away. Breakups are extremely good for self growth and be grateful for it because trust me you will grow so much and you will learn so much about yourself.

I hope I helped at least a bit 💕 I keep feeling like I forgot something but know that you and anyone can always hit me up in DMs and ask for help. Im always open to help anyone and dont hold back. Im sending you so much love honey 💖💖💖💖💖

A Month of Islam in America: April 2019

April was a busy month. While the media was focused on their multi-year collusion with Democrats - a treasonous fraud perpetrated on the American people - Muslims were busy being Muslims.

After they took over the House in the 2018 elections, Democrats stopped producing the House Homeland Security monthly report on terror, aka the Terror Threat Snapshot, so most people, politicians included, are unaware of the ongoing threat.

This is our version with a focus on Islamization in the U.S. that is much broader than just terror (jihad). It's only what we had time to aggregate.

             =========================================

As we have been warning for 11 years, if the threat of sharia is not stopped in its tracks, you will lose your right to speak freely, and even commenting or criticizing Islam and Muslims will become a crime.

This has become such a reality that Wordpress has implemented sharia law and will not allow any criticism of Islam or reporting on terrorism committed by Muslims. Despite the sources of the information being the DOJ, FBI, CNN and other large media outlets.

Sharia law is in effect in America.

Lips Of An Angel

This is part 8 of Betrayal. It seems like I’m the only one that likes this but I’m gonna keep writing it. I honestly love this story so expect a lot from it. I wrote this part based around the song lips of an angel by Hinder by the way. Scarlet deals with the struggles of having no job her calling Dean when he can’t it anymore. Dean surprising her when he goes out of his way to make it better. 

Dean Winchester x OC Scarlet

Warnings:Cheating a word here and there.

Taglist I’ll happily add you: @thewinchesterchronicles

Part 1  Part 9

I woke up the next morning feeling sore and cold. Opening my eyes I found the place beside me empty a folded note in Dean’s place. I yawn sitting up just as my phone tells me I have a text.

Picking up the note I recognize Dean’s hand writing.

Sorry I got called into work. I wouldn’t have left otherwise. I’ll call you later. Dean <3

I smile at the small heart drawn by his name it filling my stomach with butterflies. Biting my lip I stop the giddy noise that tries to leave my throat. Picking up my phone the smile grows seeing his name flash across my screen.

Dean: Had fun last night we should do it again.

I quickly replay getting out of be still dressed in just Dean’s shirt.

Scar:Maybe I’ll get better at darts if we do :)

I get a new message almost as soon as I hit send.

Dean:Oh I see your finely awake sleeping till noon…

Giggling I lean on door frame of my closet.

Scar:Well someone kept me up all night.

Dean:Bad neighbor?”

Scar:Something like that.

Dean:Want me to talk to them

Scar:Would you?

Dean:For you? Of course ;)

Scar:I’m getting in the shower I smell like a hooker.

Dean: What vodka and sex

I laugh throwing my phone on the bed and get into the shower.

After I got out I started picking up the house. When I sat down to take a break I decided on a quick nap then to start my hunt for a job.

I walked thru the woods, the leaves crunching under my feet. I was looking for something but I knew where I was going. The more I walked I started to hear waves. Walking out of the tree line I saw a fire on the beach someone sitting on a log in front of it.

I walked up to the person not surprised when it was Dean sitting there. Him dressed his his usual flannel but this time it was a thick coat. His breath making little puffs of clouds when it met the frigid air.

“Do you like it?” He asks looking up at me.

“It’s beautiful but cold.” I say sitting next to him.

He holds out a cup of hot chocolate which I gladly take. Tucking my legs under me I lay my head on his shoulder staring at the water.

“We could do it you know.”

“Do what?” I ask looking up at him. The setting sun making his green eyes shine them almost looking gold.

“Leave. Just get in the car and drive.”

“What about Rebecca and Sam?”

“Sam would be okay. Rebecca made her choice.” He says looking back out to the waves.

“No one would know any different. It would just be me and you ansget the world.”

“You know I want you.” I say honestly.

“Then what do you say?”

“Okay.”

Smiling he places his hand on cheek pressing his chapped lips to mine. He kisses me softly his mouth warm on mine He pulls me close wrapping his arms around me making me feel completely loved and safe.

I wake up the TV switching channels from me laying on the remote. Rolling my eyes I turn it off and get up to finish my day.

It’s been almost two weeks since Dean stayed the night. I haven’t seen him it would normally making me feel like a one night stand but he found a way to keep me from thinking that way.

He would text me randomly. It was also mundane things. I knew it was because of Rebecca. She wouldn’t think it was odd if he “accidentally” sent me a message for a customer and we had a small conversation afterward. He also always called me on his way home from work. Sometime on his way to work. It was nice to be thought about even more so from someone like Dean.

He was almost perfect.

I know it was wrong going behind my sisters back but I felt like we needed each other. I know what most people thought about being with a married man but me and Dean wasn’t together, technically. We made each other happy and between trying to help Rebecca and finding a new job I would take all the happiness I could get.

It was definitely odd for me. Some of our conversations leading to her. I also would tell him how to work it out. He would agree and we would move on. I never felt hurt by it I knew what we did and were doing was wrong maybe that’s why. But in a weird way I knew Dean knew she didn’t love him. Not that I loved him so much better but my sister never really loved anyone. Even before our parents died she seemed to only think about herself. Not caring who she hurt or said as long as she got what she wanted. I learned that at a young age.

Standing in front of my closet I stood on my toes putting a box in the top.

“Whatcha doing?” Rebecca asks walking into my room.

“Nothing much, what about you?” I ask turning to face her.

“Oh nothing about to go out.”

“Cool.” I say moving to sit on my bed picking up the book there.

“Umm yeah.. Hey mom told me if you give me some money she’ll give it back to you.”

“I don’t have any money.” I lie looking at her.

“Don’t you get paid for babysitting?”

“Yeah but I used it to buy school clothes.”

“I only need like thirty dollars.”

“That’s two weeks of pay for me. Where do you think I just got thirty dollars at?”

“It’s not that big a deal. Mom will give it back. I need some gas money or else I can’t go out tonight.”

“Then don’t go out tonight.”

“Why won’t you just give it to me?”

“Why should I have to?” I ask raising my voice getting mad tired of her doing this every weekend.

“Because your my sister!” She says yelling making me jump.

“What is going on back here?” My mom asks walking down the hallway to my room.

“Your little bitch daughter won’t give me any money. I swear I bust my ass helping everyone and when I need gas money no one won’t lift a finger.” Rebecca says pushing past my mother and storming down the steps.

“I’m leaving don’t bother waiting up.” She says slamming the front door.

I’m pulled from my thoughts my phone going off. Picking it up it telling me I have an email.

I sigh it telling me my rent is due next week. As if to make matters worse the lights go off leaving me in the dark except for the light coming from the windows.

‘Why me?’ I think to myself as I call electric company. When they refuse and extension I flop over on my couch.

‘I’m being punished.’ I think as I open google once again looking for jobs around me.

I call making appointment fill out applications and whatever else I can do until my stomach growls.

Getting off the couch I shiver the fall air leaking in without any heat on. Knowing that I can't cook anything I eat some yogurt it not making me feel very satisfied.

I go to my room putting on another layer of clothes and crawl into the bed. I shiver pulling the covers tightly around me.

I tried to sleep but it wasn’t gonna happen any time soon and I knew it. Sitting up I picked up my phone is only on thirty percent. It lighting up my dark room. I look at the picture for my background. It was from the other night. All four of us smushed together in the booth our faces barely fitting in the shot. It was after a few drinks us all happy. I smile at the memory. Pulling up my speed dial. It showing pictures of each person. There was only five. The only people I knew really. Ruby, Rebecca, Sam, Dean and Bobby. I look at Ruby’s face ready to dumb all my worries on her but some reason my thumb ends up pressing Dean instead. It a picture of him crossing his eyes Sam in the background.

“Hello?” Dean asks sounding tried making me realize it’s late and this was a bad idea.

“Hey, sorry I shouldn’t have called.” I say ready to just hang up.

“No it’s okay, there's got be a reason your calling so late.”

“It’s stupid.”

“I’m gonna take a shower.” He says his voice quite from holding the phone away from his mouth.

It making me remember where he was. He was home, with my sister, his wife. I called him to listen to be complain as if he was mine. My life truly a train wreck.

“Sorry it’s kinda hard to talk right now.” He says the sound of the shower turning on.

“That’s fine I’ll call you later.” I say my voice cracking a tear running down my cheek.

“I said it was hard not impossible. Is everything okay?”

I nod knowing he can’t hear me.

“It’s.. Not really.”

“Well talk to me. I gotta whisper cause I can’t be to loud but I’m here.” He says softly.

“I don’t want to get you in trouble.” I say wiping my cheek.

“Tell me why your crying sweetheart.”

“For starters I’m sitting in the dark right now.”

“Why?”

“My power is out. I can’t pay the bill, I can’t pay the bill because I got fired. I got fired because I wouldn’t sleep with my boss. And to top it all off the only person I feel like talking to is my sister’s husband.” I say laughing at how pitiful I sound.

“Well looks like you got yourself in a pickle.”

“That’s an understatement.” I say laying my head back closing my eyes.

“It’s funny that your calling me tonight.”

“Why’s that?”

“We just got into a huge fight.”

“About what?” I ask my eyes still closed head against the wall.

“I’m not being supportive. She wants me to take off work until she is better.”

“What did you say?”

“That I’m going to. My hands are tied are I have a job to do.”

“I think we should just run away.”

“In my dreams maybe.” He says snorting.

“I had a dream we ran away.” I say remembering it from a few weeks ago.

“How'd that go?”

“I don’t know, I woke up before we actually did it.”

“Well it sounds better than my dream.”

“What did you dream?” I ask yawning.

“Wasn’t nothing about you. My dreams about you are always good.”

“You dream about me?” I ask blushing.

“I have since I've knowing you but they have picked up recently.”

“You better hush before she knows your talking to me.”

“I don’t think she has a clue.”

“We are horrible people.”

“Maybe so, but I won’t lie I wish she was you.”

“Dean…”

“I got to go. Will you be okay?” He says a knock sounding in the background.

“I’m okay. Thanks for talking to me.”

“Getting to listen to your sweet voice I’d don’t think there is anything else I rather do.”

“You better go before I start another fight.” I say smiling.

“Goodbye Scarlet.”

“Good night Dean.”

I end the call and lay the phone down feeling better then I did. Him also seeming to know how to make me feel better.

I put my almost dead phone on the bedside take and lay down. Closing my eyes I fall asleep quickly today taking its toll.

I wake up to someone shaking me. Opening my eyes feeling but not seeing the person standing over me I jump away from them screaming.

“Scarlet relax it’s just me.” Dean says turning his flashlight on letting me see him.

“You scared me to death I thought you were a rapist.” I say throwing at pillow at him my heart pounding.

“Well I tried calling you and you wouldn’t answer the phone.” He says making me realize I made him worry.

“It’s dead. No power remember. What are you doing here anyway?”

“You said you were sitting in the dark you think I was gonna leave you alone.” He says walking up to me.

Wrapping his arms around me I hug him him very warm compared to me.

“Baby your freezing.” He says pulling me closer.

I ignore the way my heart picks up when he calls me baby nuzzling into him.

“Thank you for coming.” I say shivering.

“Of course. Get back in bed I have a surprise.” He says pulling away from me.

“What surprise?”

I watch him put the flashlight in his mouth and then turn around to what I can guess is a heater. He bends down and flicks a switch and turns a dial.

“It runs off gas but no fumes come out so don’t worry about getting a headache.” He says standing back up.

“Where did you get it? I’m sure everything is closed now.”

“I got it from the shop. Don’t worry about taking it back it was mine to begin with.” He says setting a small battery powered lantern on the nightstand. It filling the room with a light blue glow letting me see Dean better.

“Why are you doing this?” I ask biting my lip.

“Because I don’t want you to freeze to death.” He says sounding different.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean it like that. I just meant your already fighting with my sister why risk coming out in the middle of the night?”

“Because I’m fighting with her.” He says pulling his jacket off.

“Huh?” I say as he places it over my shoulders.

I quickly put my arms threw the sleeves thankful for the warmth.

“She is already mad at me. I don’t care anymore.” He says sitting on the bed and starts taking off his shoes.

“Wait are you staying here?”

“If that’s alright with you.”

“Okay.” I say nodding not knowing how this night would go.

He picks up the tangled blanket and throws it back over the bed, only to pull it down.

“Come on sweetheart.” He says smiling at me.

Blushing I move to lay under the covers him getting in beside me pulling it up around us. He pulls me close to him and closes his eyes.

“Thank you.” I say softly burning my head in his neck not knowing how cold I was until I was next to something so warm.

He kisses the top of my head us both falling asleep tangled with each other.

ohshc au - jaemin

continuation of this au

↳ requested by: this anon gave me the idea so thank you my sweet~

↳ type: bullet scenario

↳ warning(s): n/a

↳ a/n: happy 18th birthday dream boy, i hope the members shower(ed) you with love and support today! i love you very very much jaemin ❤️

ahh yes, na jaemin aka the host club’s leader aka the host club’s king aka the host clu—okay you get the idea here

jaemin’s a third year along w jeno, hyuck, and renjun but the club has been around since the beginning of his second year

at first, everyone else was kinda hestitant to go along w jaemin’s idea of starting a host club, but once they heard his reasoning they agreed

the club had humble beginnings, only a handful of guests would trickle into the music room after school, curious to see what the club was about

but the next time they came in, those guests brought their friends and their friends brought their friends and pretty soon the host club had an impressive turnout

the guests were just entranced by the dreamies and their ability to charm them, but jaemin was on a whole other level

the majority of the guests who would come were usually his regulars and trust me, jaemin had a LOT of regulars

but he didn’t seem to mind, the more the merrier right?

this boy is so cheesy it’s disgusting but his guests love it sooooo

however the other members hear it from him so often that they’ll occasionally throw a pillow at him or stuff his mouth with cake to make him shut up cough renjun cough

he’s in charge of the club’s daily concepts and it’s both a good thing and a bad thing, good bc he always comes up with themes that entertain the guets, and bad bc the costumes are fucking ridiculous slfkskwk :’))

but the others smile thru it bc the guests’ happiness is their number one priority

jaemin tries to make sure every guest leaves happy, no matter if they’re his guest or not, and so far he’s succeeded......until now

a new girl had come into the music room one day, she had just transferred from a different school and heard from her classmates about the host club and decided to check it out for herself

and the second she entered the room she was met with jaemin holding a red rose in front of her as he smiled brightly and flashed her a wink

“well hello my darling, i haven’t seen you around here before. what’s your name?”

the new girl kinda just scrunched her nose and rolled her eyes, much to jaemin’s surprise, and she walked past him, moving deeper into the room

jaemin looked after her worriedly but let it go as soon as he heard his guests calling for him

the entire time, the new girl just stood in the far corner and observed everythimg thru narrowed eyes

it eventually came to a point where everyone was aware of her presence and they all became uncomfortable

jeno walked up to jaemin and whispered in his ear “hey jae, what do we do about her? she’s making the guests feel awkward” and jaemin gets up and says he’ll handle it

when he walks over to her, he plasters a gentle smile on his face again “is something wrong, lovely? why are you here by yourself? would you like to—“

“you people disgust me” she hisses

jaemin freezes and so does mark and hyuck, as they were the closest ones

“i’m...i’m sorry?”

the girl huffs and uncrosses her arms, pointing an accusing finger at jaemin “you guys are basically manipulating these girls, telling them how beautiful and lovely they are, but you don’t really mean it do you? admit it, you guys are just doing this for yourselves right? to see how many girls you can score?”

at this point the entire room has their eyes fixed on jaemin and the new girl, and renjun has heard enough so he gets up and stomps over to them

“you’ve got it all wrong, that isn’t what we’re about! we’re not doing this to get girls, you can’t just walk in here and assume—“

renjun was interrupted by jaemin holding his hand up and giving him a look, then he turned back to the girl with a serious look on his face “i apologize miss, but i’m afraid you have the wrong idea. the club’s foundation isn’t built on what you’re accusing us of. if you wish to know, then i’d be happy to speak privately with you but not now, i have guests to keep company.”

jaemin then turned around to walk back, but not before he looked over his shoulder one last time “you’re free to stay if you like, but if you’re just going to stand there and stare at everyone, then i’ll kindly ask you to leave, thank you”

the girl chose to leave and for the rest of the day, the members and guests were in low spirits

when the club closed for the day, jaemin went home by himself, which was different from his usual antic where he’d take the other members out for some food and just hang out, but today seemed to rlly bring him down

all everyone else could do was sadly watch him walk down the street to his house

the next day wasn’t any better, after the new girl’s outburst the other day, fewer guests came to the music room that day

when asked why their friends didn’t show up, they said that it was bc of what happened

and to make matters worse, rumors started spreading around the school about how jaemin was actually a player and he only started the club to make easy money and meet girls

of course none of that was true, but jaemin chose not to say anything, much to the surprise of everyone else

“jae, you know those rumors aren’t true so why aren’t you saying anything to defend yourself?”

jaemin just smiled at his friends “do you guys believe those rumors?” and they all shook their heads vigorously, making jaemin smile wider

“good, then that’s all that matters. people can say what they want about me, their opinions don’t matter. as long as the seven of us know the truth, then that’s all i need” he patted chenle and jisung’s shoulders before slinging his backpack over his shoulder

“besides, we still have some guests who continue to enjoy our company, wouldn’t want to keep them waiting right?”

when the seven of them walked into the music room, they were surprised to see you standing by the door

mark was the first to greet you “oh, hey y/n what are you doing here?”

you were the a member of the newspaper club and due to low fundings, your club leader had you go out and find out what you could about the host club and write a juicy story about them

he claimed that if you could create a story that exposed the club for who they really are, then the school would buy more newspapers which meant more funding for the club

you didn’t wanna do it, considering you were really close with mark, but you had no choice if you wanted the newspaper to survive.....so here you were

“oh um...i’m here to do a story on the host club....f-for the school newsp—“

“forget it y/n, we know what you’re up to” hyuck cut you off w a sneer and you winced, but before you could reply jaemin walked up to you with a small but dazzling smile on his face

“a news story about the host club? that’s fantastic! i’m in” and everyone’s just like what the hell jae you just said—

“i don’t care what people have to say about me, but i’m not going to let anyone slander our club’s reputation, so i’m willing to do this” he looked back at me “under one condition”

“and that is??”

“before you publish your story, i want to read it first. i won’t say anything about it, i just want to read it. do we have a deal?” he stuck his hand out and you stared at for a second before shaking it “.....deal”

jaemin grinned and clapped his hand on your shoulder “well, it’s a pleasure to have you here y/n”

for the next few weeks, you’ve been attending the usual club hours and observing how the hosts interact with the guests, occasionally asking them questions about the club and how it works

you’ve been attending their club meetings too, but to your surprise, all they do is discuss a theme for the next day and then jaemin takes you all out for some food and just hang out

one time, you were curious as to why jaemin and the others continued on w the club despite the rumors so you decided to ask

he ponders your question for a moment before he looks at you with a gentle look on his face

“because we’re all invested in this club y/n, the other hosts have become my second family and making our guests happy is what we all love to do. it’s not for the money or the chance to meet girls, but to make someone’s day just a little brighter”

you wrote down his response, but you were a little shocked to say the least, you didn’t expect that to come from him

a few more days pass and now you’re just about ready to edit and publish your paper, but it’s not quite what you expected

you were sent to write a juicy, gossip story about the host club, but instead all your notes said good things about it

the time you spent with the hosts, especially jaemin, opened your eyes and you realized that those rumors were untrue, the host club wasn’t some way for the members to meet girls, and jaemin wasn’t a player at all

he genuinely cared about everyone who walked into that room and made it his goal to have them walk out happier than when they walked in

you thought about it for a moment before you knew what you had to do

later that night, you pieced the story together, making sure to include every little detail and the next morning, you handed jaemin a copy

but to your surprise, he gave it back to you

“i thought you wanted to read it before it was published?”

but jaemin shook his head and shoved his hands into his pockets “nah it’s okay. i’ll trust your judgement”

you were left speechless as jaemin reached up to ruffle your hair, smiling at you once more before walking to class

later that same day, you published the article with a headline that said: “the truth about the host club”

and when you bumped into jaemin in the hallway, he waved a copy of the newspaper in your face and chuckled “i knew i could trust your judgement y/n, thank you”

thanks to you, not only did the host club gain most of its guests back, but the newspaper reached a new peak in fundings bc of the amount of copies that were sold that day, it was a win-win situation

as for jaemin, the rumors about him stopped circulating thru the school and everyone finally knew the his real motives

even the girl who had caused the whole thing came in one day and apologized sincerely for making assumptions

after the article about the host club was published, none of the hosts really got see you around the school anymore

but one day

it was another normal day for the hosts when they heard a gentle knock on the door

mark opened the door only for you to walk inside

the hosts all greeted you warmly

“hey y/n! long time no see, how’ve you been?” hyuck asked

“i’ve been doing great, and i can see you all feel the same”

they all smiled at you before jisung piped up “whatcha doing here y/n? are you doing another story on us?”

you smiled “actually no....i came here as a guest”

seven pairs of eyes widened in shock at your statement

“i hope you guys don’t mind”

“of course we don’t mind y/n!” chenle threw his arm around your shoulder “alrighty then, take your pick! which one of us is more your type?”

you looked around at all their faces before your eyes landed on jaemin

you smirked “well, i’ve actually been really interested in the princely types lately so..”

[neven-ebrez]

I'm having a lot of trouble connecting to S14 meta. Most are so upbeat about Dean's current state, seeing everything pointing to Dean's bisexuality & Destiel endgame. But the show doesn't see Dean just thru a shipping lens. And by side stepping around the Michael arc, I feel like these metas are ignoring how Dean's past trauma, his self worth issues, his search for an individual identity, etc have to be (painfully) resolved first. Maybe, as you say, it's b/c Sam's already in endgame?

I’m sorry but I’ve honestly got no clue what is being said!  I don’t actively seek out Destiel positive meta anymore because my opinion on the whole Destiel writing situation is pretty firm and imo is a fair opinion that doesn’t need to change because there’s no one out there who is writing “meta” who knows anything more than what I already do.  I absolutely mean that without arrogance.  I say this because I can’t know where your disconnect is because I’m not reading what you are reading so I can’t even begin to know where the trouble is.  

I’d say Dean’s current state isn’t any more or less hopeful than what it was in S13 after getting Cas, Mary and Jack back.  Dean is off visiting Mary and Bobby, maintaining his family connections.  Dean is out helping to train Jack because he listened to him and helped Jack with what he said he needed emotionally and physically.  All that is good.  Dean keeps a beat on what Cas is doing and he’s okay with him not 100% being by his side at all times, just so long as he’s in his life.  Same for things with Sam.  Everyone is alive so Dean “is good”.  It’s all very “healthy”.  But.  When push comes to shove, if any of this was taken away I’m really very sure Dean would slide right back down as far as the show needed him to go in order to buy time.  This is Sam and Dean’s dream, the best situation for their well being.  Their family is more or less “safe” and they are no longer isolated and desperate to be in one another’s pockets.  If this was threatened, if any of this was taken away, I think they’d be right back in the same mindset and situation they always have been in, desperate to get their “core” family back.  The impending loss of Jack threatens this more than any other current factor.  

The lens of “family” is how this show operates, and yes, some of that is romantically coded.  I’d argue Destiel has been actively coded as romantic since 6x20.  It’s been subtextually romantically structured for Dean’s happiness since S8 (arguably S7).  But structure and coding are not active plans for text.  In my opinion, there’s an active structure in place for Dean to be developed to a point to say something to get Cas to stay, and that there have been many textual bridges burned at this point, but none of that absolutely means romantic text is definite, only reasonably more likely.  I can say this, however.  Nothing is actively and structurally being done to address Dean’s bisexuality to bring that subtext into text.  Nothing.  Whether that’s positive or negative, I can’t say, due to the show’s age.  Subtextual hints are just that, hints.  And stuff like 8x13, 10x16, 11x04, 11x11 these are all unstructured vague texts that structurally lead nowhere, because the show historically has a problem with its own subtextual --- > textual follow through.  They are not writing a “coming out” arc for Dean.  It’s honestly too late for that.  A decade too late.  

We could get into the question of “Does the show not think this is needed then, for possible eventual text?” and at this point I’d argue, “No, they don’t think it is needed.”  Then we ask, “Why not?” and there’s two reasonable answers: because the subtext and vague text is never becoming anything more OR the show is gonna lean so hard into the vague text and visual presentation of Destiel that they think this will be enough to get their point across (which either could or could not leave room for interpretation, depending on what is done exactly).  A coming out narrative is always obvious to those that know what to look for, just look at what B99 did recently.  A coming out narrative always leans into getting both dialogue and (usually, eventually) visual text.  Supernatural has no interest in this from what I can tell and I’ve honestly been looking at it for a long ass time.  I could argue this is without malicious intent simply because of the show’s age, and the position showrunner Dabb has been left in, but it doesn’t change the fact that it is never happening at this point imo.  

Prior to the start of the season I think it was tough to see how Michael was going to translate structurally into Dean’s character development exactly.  But now I think it’s clearer.  He’s the father version of Dean’s childhood trauma in the same way Amara (and the whole MOC arc) was the mother version of the same.  Until Dean confronts his father (likely, physically) he’s standing still, much like he was without Cas in early S13.  And while Dean is reasonably surviving and living now, that’s not the same as truly thriving and stepping into the future.  I think if you are reading meta that doesn’t acknowledge this is needed (for Destiel, Dean’s general development, whatever) then you are simply reading someone who doesn’t understand what Michael structurally translates to.  Sometimes it’s hard to tell.  I was rough on S12 because I didn’t realize what the MOL really “translated” to until after the season was over.  Sometimes these things can only be seen at the end.  It’s even tougher when you see how Dabb likes to tell and structure two stories at once: the present season and the next one.  

I fell for the same trap and gave a real harsh structural opinion on early S13 because I didn’t yet recognize this as Dabb’s structuring style.  He did it in S12 too, but I was so thoroughly bored with the MOL that I didn’t bother to actively consider what they structurally translated to, how they and Mary effected Sam’s trajectory, nor how Dabb was having us consider the nature of Jack before he ever entered the picture.  It was an unknowable storyline at the time S12 aired so the full appreciation of the structure is only apparent on retrospection.  S13 was the same, with foreshadowing for Michael!Dean very, very early in the season.  Whatever is coming next, it’s likely that we’ve already been exposed to the idea of it.  I think the important thing to take away is this though: Dabb finishes what he starts.  That isn’t to say the show doesn’t have a history of dropping things, even structurally significant things, but Dabb so far doesn’t do this (with the exception of the fall through of Wayward, which has been reworked back into Supernatural).  If the structure is saying Dean needs to confront his dad about his past trauma (but again, his repressed sexuality doesn’t seem to be a factor as I believe we would have gotten heavy mirrors by now if the show was going to do this in a textual way), then I think that’s exactly what we are going to get.  The show structurally blamed Mary.  Now it structurally blames John.  

And then none of this is even touching Cas’ side of things.  He’s happy and accepting that no matter what he’s got himself.  He’s in a good mental place.  He doesn’t even care about his powers and “usefulness” anymore in the way he used to and he’s honestly much better for it.  There’s still shame, I think, in how he views how he wants Dean in his life (and here the show has provided a lot of structural support and this is honestly like a flavor of a coming out narrative, closer than anything Dean himself has anyway). But before that, I think if he had the option he’d still like to try and help Heaven.  And we know he’s going to be drawn back in to something there soon...  

There’s still a lot to address.  For them both.  The fact these structures exist, and that they exist around them and between them both (Cas is absolutely essential to Dean’s well being and his future courtesy of S13), tells us how the show approaches its own endgame.  But I can’t say this enough, neither one of these structures (not Dean’s leveled on dialogue and not Cas’ leveled on action) present a narrative that requires explicit romantic text or action to be resolved.  This is something that must always be kept in mind imo, so I don’t mind saying it as much as I have to as a balance to all the optimism and hope.  I do think, however, that the chances of text are greater now than they ever had been (whereas before me saying this was just wishful thinking against unknowable pacing).  For whatever that’s worth to those that care to read my opinions on this.

Reactions to Jujutsu Kaisen ep3-5; (half of ep6).

. . .

7:35 PM 12/16/2020 Jujutsu Kaisen ep3

So...It's a it's a habit of Gojou-sensei to do people favors without them asking?  Like when he put Itadori's dorm room next to Fushiguro, because Gojou thought Fushiguro could use the "lively" company?  ^o^  ok.  But I have a feeling the hood on Itadori's uniform is going to turn out to be more to do with Sukuna, and we're just going to *think* it was because Itadori was always wearing hooded tops when Gojou met him.  lol  

I've been wary about getting into Jujutsu Kaisen ever since I saw a clip of Nobara Kugisaki, where she was just being really abrasive and representing that hackneyed stereotype of "girl of the group spoils everyone's fun and is just angry at everyone for no reason all the time".  I was not looking forward to her character.  But I finally managed to start watching this series anyway, and I loved it.  But now I'm at ep3, she's showing up, and I am not lookng forward to whatever stereotypes that Shonen Manga tends to slot girls into.  Shonen Manga, I love you, but 80% of the time you suck when it comes to women.  ~_~;  Either the girl is only cool if she's sexualized cheeesecake, or an ingenue (which I LOVE, but I do want more variety), or the abrasive, tsundere spoil-sport, which I am just _done_ with.  So please please PLEASE, Nobara, PLEASE don't be an abrasive annoying character!  ;o;!

And now she's asking some random guy to make her a model. (Why do I get the feeling her use of "watashi" is what got to the guy?) This is not a good start.  Please don't turn out to be some borderline himedere, all full of herself, and completely focused on her looks, because the only characteristic that some male manga-ka know to give to female characters is "obsessed with her appearance".  ;o;!?

"Be happy boys.  I'm the one woman in your group."  What the hell is that supposed to mean??  Is the manga-ka saying girls are trouble, so minimum number of them is better?  Or that "all guys are horny heteros who're desperate to be near any girls"???  Because either option sounds really bad. Unforunately, it's the type of thing I've gotten used to seeing in anime/manga.  ~___~;  (Just once, I'd love for some girl to be full of herself because she assumes the guys in her group are desperate heteros, but then it turns out they're all gay.  Knock those himedere's down a peg!)  But this is one of the newer Shonen Jump series I've seen in a long time.  Hopefully things have changed since years ago, when harem anime and ecchi Shonen series used to be the majority of series out there.  If Boku no Hero Academia is any indication, I've heard gender representation has been getting better.  And of course, the popularity precedent that Bleach's Rukia Kuchiki set has been great to see emulated (when a series doesn't misinterpret Rukia's appeal into "tusndere" anyway).  

Itadori is from Sendai!?  I should have paid attention!  I love Sendai because I'm a Date Masamune fan, but I'm wondering...This series and Haikyuu...  Is Sendai becoming a popular setting for manga?  I wonder if it's to boost interest in their tourism to help recover from the 2011 disasters.  I always thought that would be nice of the manga/anime industries.  ;u;  

Oh no...Itadori is a childish dork, buying weird souvenirs and eating up all the snacks he can...  Ya gotta stop being this cute, kiddo!  ;w;!!!  You already remind me of Ryuji Sakamoto, you don't have to score for the extra points with even more similarities to him!  ;w;  Gawd, Ryuji has made me weak for these adorkable boyish types...!  xWx!  

Ok.  Nobara is redeemed.  She's just as excited and adorkable as Itadori at the prospect of Gojou-sensei taking them sight-seeing.  ^o^  This is pretty hilarious actually.  LOL  Let me mention again that this series' humor is pretty great!  ^o^  

ROPPONGI?!?!?  Sensei!  Don't take a bunch of minors to Roppongi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  ...Oh, it's a cursed, abandoned building.  Oh thank globs.  

8:14 PM 12/16/2020 Well, Crunchyroll kept crashing after I paused the episode to write reactions.  But let's try again.  

8:21 PM 12/16/2020 Aaaaaaand Crunchyroll crashed AGAIN.  It really doesn't want me to finish this episode, huh?  Fine.  I'll watch something else.  I got my Yuji fix anyway.  (Even though I wanted to watch more.)  ~.~!

2:25 AM 12/17/2020 I tried to watch ep3 again.  After 20min in, Crunchyroll crashed again.  I got so fed up, I went to finish the episode on some YouTube bootleg. But I felt bad about it and I couldn't really find the full ep at regular speed, so I guess I'll just try Crunchyroll another time.  I should really just connect my laptop to my Tv and watch from there.  This Amazon Firestick crashes too much whenever I watch anything besides YouTube (and Netflix).  Even Disney+ stalls on it sometimes.  

But I will say that the parts of the episode I managed to watch more of so far, included that clip of Nobara from Crunchyroll's Twitter, that gave me the bad impression of her.  Listen, I'm as tired of the "passive good girl" female character, as the next woman.  But I also dislik the abrasive tsundere, angry for no reason, looking down on everything everyone does as instantly inferior, and just needlessly over-reacting with anger.  I mean, the "over-emotional woman" stereotype is just as bad as the "passive, martyr, support" girl stereotype.  And is it wise to immediately have this new character just hate and physically beat up the protag that we're already invested in?  At least, I like him best out of everyone.  And then this girl comes in, calling his need to use a weapon lame, physically beating him for asking reasonable questions, and just being an asshole.  Not scoring any points here.  I know stories are supposed to run on conflict and each time a new character is introduced, they're supposed to clash with the previously established characters or protagonist, but if all the clashing gets annoying, I've got better things to do. The sad thing is that I see her short straight hair, and I can't help but think this is another case of Shonen manga trying to emulate Rukia Kuchiki's popularity.  After Bleach, suddenly these types of no-nonsense, competent warrior, without the cheesecake, girls were popping up all over the place: Buso Renkin, Otomen, Attack on Titan, etc.  I just really wish people would have taken the right lessons from Bleach's Rukia Kuchiki, that even the Bleach anime got wrong in some filler episodes:  She's not angry for no reason!  She's not unnecessarily angry/violent!  The anime fillers only crossed that line because tsundere were popular at the time!  But it makes for an abrasive, unlikable character, female or not!  If some bishie came in, acting that way to a protagonist I was already attached to, I'd still think of him as an asshole and consider dropping the series for it.  And I've dropped HeroAca---one of the best series in years---for that reason already!  Don't think you're immune, Jujutsu Kaisen!  Just because Yuji is a freaking delight, I will drop you if Nobara becomes a problem!  

. . .

5:06 PM 12/17/2020 Tried again to watch Jujutsu Kaisen ep3 around 5pm.  5min into it, Crunchyroll crashed again.  Again at the commercial break.  What is it with the commercial breaks crashing everything?  It's happened on other websites with commercial too.  o.o?  Well, connected my laptop to my Tv.  I'll let my laptop handle the processing instead of my Amazon Firestick.  

5:07 PM 12/17/2020 Well, here we go again.  This must be at least the 5th time I'm watching this ep.  With luck, this time, I'll be able to watch the last 1/3 of the episode.

JUJUTSU KAISEN Episode 3 – Girl of Steel

5:14 PM 12/17/2020 Now it's either buffering for a long time, or frozen.  ~.~;  The universe really doesn't want me to watch Jujutsu Kaisen, huh?  Either that, or the universe really wants me to watch it thru bootleg sites/uploads, instead of thru Crunchyroll.  Damn it.  I hate doing that.  But I like this series, and Crunchyroll has been giving me problems for the past 2 days on just this ONE SAME EPISODE OVER AND OVER.  ~o~;;;;  Fine!  I'll go find some YouTube bootleg of this episode.  x_x;  YouTube never crashes on me.  

5:17 PM 12/17/2020 Ugh.  I hate watching on these tiny rectangles with giant random frames so the uploader can avoid copyright strikes.  Let me try Crunchyroll again.  

I had forgotten this.  I don't know why, but when another video streaming site had problems with buffering or being frozen, sometimes playing YouTube on another tab kind of "wakes it up".  

5:19 PM 12/17/2020 Spoke too soon.  Crunchyroll still isn't working.  Forget it.  I'll watch the tiny rectangle with giant distracting frames and muffled audio.  I just want to get through this episode finally!  It's been 2 days!  And the introduction of a character I've been wary of from spoiler clips, and now that I've actually been watching her introduction episode, I am NOT having a good time with her.  I want this over with.  

At least on YouTube I can skip through the parts of the episode I've already had to watch like 5 times already.  Adn it won't crash from searching.  

5:32 PM 12/17/2020 There!  Finally FINALLY finishedd episode 3!!!!!  

Shonen genre, I love you, but why do the female characters always have to be so annoying!?!  It's not an 1990's action movie!  They're just angry all the time and I feel like I'm spending time with an annoying asshole, when I watch series that forces me to spend time with characters unreasonably angry about anything and everything! And that's not even mentioning the horrible implication that females are all "moody and over-emotional". It's like, they know to set up protagonists as likable by demonstrating their compassion and warmth, but when it comes to the female characters, if she's not an ingenue passive hyper-fem support class, then she's an abrasive tsundere, because apparently it's still the early 2000s and all the horny fanboys want to get stepped on and yelled at.  -.-;;;;;;;;;;;;;;  Fucking A you guys...There are better partners, better people to spend time with, than that.  x_x;;;;;;;;;;;;;  

On the good side, if Nobara turns out to be a deal breaker for me on this series, then I won't have to feel bad anymore for missing out on Nendoroid Yuuji's preorder.  

. . .

1:23 AM 12/18/2020 Jujutsu Kaisen ep4

I"m gonna risk Crucnhyroll crashing (on my Firestick) AGAIN, because I really just want to watch more of this series.  

I love how Yuuji continues to be so enthusiastic about everything.  I know it's supposed to be "uncool" or humorously quirky while the POV "fish out of water" character learns about whatever "new world" they've gotten into, but it's endearing as hell.  When a character doesn't care about looking stupid, in favor of being unbelievably positive, I love it.  

Innate Domain.  I saw a clips of this earlier, and it reminded me so much of a Witch's Labyrinth, that I watched some Madoka Magica clips.  

I love when Nobara and Yuuji are in sync in acting weird.  

Does Fushiguro not know how to take compliments?  Was he never given any whiel growing up?

I know having a Shonen protagonist over-react to any little lack of empahy is a cheap trick of the genre by now...but I still love it.  ;u;  I know what you're trying to do, and damnit, it's working.  lol  

Gawd the animation in this series is so good.

I guess this is where we learn that Sukuna can regenerate his host.  

It's really unusual for a Shonen protagonist to despair this long in a scene.  I wonder what it's for.  

So using Cursed Magic is just focusing all your negative energy/emotions?  

Wow.  I guess this Curse can't think enough to know Sukuna's plan would be a good deal.  Or is it that Sukuna scares this Curse out of thinking clearly? I mean, they could think enough to play with their food.  

So it's true.  An OP character gets their appearnace earned after the protag/main cast gets put thru hell.  

"But healing with cursed energy isn't that hard for cursed spirits, unlike for humans.  Nither you nor this brat really understand what curses truly are."  I was going to speculate that a Curse is a "wish to destroy", but in terms of regeneration, it only makes sense for negative energy/emotions to rebuild a creature made of negative energy/emotions, like a Curse.  But does it make sense for humans?  I guess maybe considering humans can contain negative emotions/energies...  Well, I'm sure this series will have an interesting answer for their own world's logic.  

Ever since it was mentioned that Sukuna used to be human, and now he's talking about showing what "real sorcery" is with his "Domain Expansion" spell...  I wonder how a human sorcerer turned into a Curse.  Is this series going to eventually talk about humans turning into Curses?  I love when demon hunter series go into that territory.  

Oh.  This Curse had one of Sukuna's fingers?

Aw, it's over?  I think I kinda love this show.   But this ending theme is fun.  Tho I have to wonder how this concept fits into this series' tone.

1:53 AM 12/18/2020 Unforunatly, I can't watch more.  I should get ready for bed.

And hey!  Crunchyroll went thru a whole episoe without crashing!  ^o^!  

. . .

10:09 PM 12/18/2020 Jujutsu Kaisen ep5

Is this going to happen a lto to Yuji's uniforms?  lol

He mentioned pacts.  Is a pact going to have to happen now to get Sukuna under control again? I mean, Fushiguro uses Shikigami, so he must know about pacts.  Is that what this next fight scene is going to be about?  

Healing is a "Reversed Curse"?

The more Sukuna talks in fights, the more he souns like a trained sorcerer.  

What?  HE stopped.  

Nothing wrong with Emotional reasons to save someone.  

Fushiguro is really kind when he thinks no one will hear him about it.  ;u;  I love when a cast is full of really compassionate characters. Add another one to the count for this series.  

Let him talk!  Even if you don't understand!

Shikigami?  

Beurocracy hierarchy bs at Jujutsu Tech, huh?  Ugh.  When the higher ups can't be trusted, it's trouble.  

Zenin doesn't like beineg called by her last name?  Odd.  

Suspended?!?!????

I thought the rule in Shonen genree was to lay off "tournament arcs"!???

"True, pure beings"?  ~.~;;;;;;  Well, that sounds like trouble.  The world, especially people are blends of dichotomy and gray, co-existing.  People who deny that end up in trouble.  Always chasing some false misunerstanding.  

And well, damn  Another episode ending too soon.  Well, if every episode feels too short, then I must really like this series.  ;u;  I'm so glad.  Because the last series I got thru was a slog at times, but I pushed thru it because it was a popular series and I at least liked the deuteragonists.  I'm really happy with Jujutsu Kaisen so far.  

Even all my earlier bitching about Nobara, that scene of her and Fushiguro at the shrine or temple(?) was better.  I liked that they were in sync in their resolve to get stronger, and that their overall dispositions while in mourning didn't clash into some kind of annoying drama.  

Panda should try a dry shampoo.  Sometimes Fabreeze just ends up mixing with old smells and making fabric smell like damp old towels.  

. . .

10:42 PM 12/18/2020 Jujutsu Kaisen ep6

I should stop.  It's Figure Friday, I still need to do a photoshoot, I didn't draw yet today, and it'll be midnight soon.  x_x;  I'd love to watch more of this series instead tho.  ;o;  

I think it's saying a lot for this series that it's completely distracted me from DMCL even though I made it my static desktop.  lol  

. . .

11:06 PM 12/19/2020 Jujutsu Kaisen ep6

Did the opening sequence add a lot more cast members.

Did I mention I love the humor in this?  Even during a fight it just flows perfectly.  lol  And that cartoony sound effect when Sukuna kicked Yuuji down---LOL  Endearing as hell.

Forget the promise?  What?  Won't it not work then?  

Well, that explains why Yuuji suddenlly accepted the geas.  lol  He just wanted to hit Sukuna again.  lol

I'm gonna guess some kind of guilt?

It's interesting to hear Gojou talking about thsi indirect, in-system way of fighting the stagnant top level of thier jujutsu sorcerer organization.  I've had FE3H on the brain lately and yesterday I was listening to a D&D story time vid that made me think about the same thing.  You can't just assassinate the problem authority figures because the structure is still in place to maintain the same problem.  Plus, you'll be easily framed as a "villain", then no one will listen to your criticisms about the former authority figures/structure.  After loving Code Geass and Lelouch back in the day, it's so funny how I'm much more inclined to support these strategies of working within a bad system to reform it from within, which was Suzaku's strategy, not Lelouch's.  But I guess even back when I was watching Code Geass, I knew that I would only go with Lelouch strategy in such a bombastic, hyper stylized world; it wasn't realistic, even if some if it had merits that could be more gently applied to the real world.  What was really strange about this scene in Jujutsu Kaisen was that such radical ideas about overturning and being aware of the current power structure's corruption, was given such little weight in the scene.  Like they wanted us to forget about this so that when it comes back later in the overall plot, we can be shocked, but still feel that bringing up these issues fit.  

Love Yuuji and Gojo's casual relationship. ^o^  They act more like friends than mentor/mentee.

I forgot how gorey this series can be until everyone lit on fire.  ^^;

11:22 PM 12/19/2020 Aaaaaand Crunchyroll crashed at the commercial again.  Just at well.  It's really difficult to eat, watch, and jot down my reactions at the same time.  ~_~;  A shame.  I really wanted to watch more of this series.

You ve recently been informed you re required to obtain an SR-22 form as a part of maintaining your legally mandated car insurance coverage, now what? Contact your insurance provider in order to obtain the SR-22 form, then start planning your expenses. An SR-22 document proves that drivers have the minimum coverage per state law for “high risk” insurance policies. An SR-22, or like in Florida and Virginia a FR-44, is not insurance but a certificate of financial responsibility. This filing can be dropped at a later time when the requirements have been fulfilled by the driver. The average cost of SR-22 is between $15 and $30 per month for filing costs and can range from $207 to $387 per month depending on your insurance company. Prices will also vary depending on your state. Still trying to determine what this document is and the extra costs to your family per month?

How much will an SR-22 increase my insurance?

How much will an SR-22 increase my insurance? The average increase of 2% on average is a common question on many driver and car online forums. The short answer is absolutely that your rates will go up as you age. Some things that can increase your premium is that you’ll pay more if you have a DUI or are caught driving with no insurance. Also, it doesn’t always always mean cheaper car insurance as there are a variety of rates for drivers who are considered high-risk. You’ll pay more if you have a speeding ticket, for example. So are there SR-22 costs included? No, not necessarily. Not every carrier uses SR-22 filings, and not every driver needs an SR-22 filing. There’s more it has to do with your past driving history as a driver, and more about your car, such as your credit and how many accidents you’ve had in the last six years, before you can legally drive. You really could find yourself taking a higher price.

No, insurance would have to be purchased under a specific company that has a good reputation. If that’s the case, then the insurance company is a bad investment. Even if you don’t mind a little bit of privacy, this is a situation you’re stuck with. All other things being equal, there’s room for a car insurance company to have their backs.

Please tell me more about why you like sheith, I'm very curious to hear the rest of it.

(alright luckily i had the beginning of this saved elsewhere when tumblr just randomly sent it early so imma just begin by pasting. also spoilers for voltron s4 obv) 

the original ask was something like “curious why u like sheith? ive thought abt it and i think i prefer klance”

rubs hands 2gether Thank U for Asking

first of all, thats chill! if klance is ur thing, fuckin go for itmy dude, have a great time with that shit. the fandom’s huge andtheres tons of content. im all for ppl shippin what they want and imnot here to tell someone to ship or not ship something. if u do trulywant to know why im a sheith tho, buckle the fuck up cause im awashin sheith feelings at every moment and i got Things 2 say

alright so the main thing with sheith is that it feels realhealthy and good. (well it did. things are weird this season bc shiromay or may not be a clone but up until his disappearance at least.)they’re rly good abt checking in with each other to see how theother one’s doing and feeling, and they lean on each other a lotfor support. they also treat each other as equals and respect each other’s choices (again, with minor exceptions in the current season). they got that good good hidden backstory together. they got that good good star crossed lovers thing goin on where the universe keeps ripping them apart, fucking them over and tossing them back together more fucked up than before and my dude i Eat That Shit UP. also that good good height difference.the show gives them lots of moments where they’re either alone in a room together havin a private moment or havin an equally private moment in front of the whole fuckin team where fuckin everybody can see them (like the first Hug tm). they’re openly physically intimate with each other (which keith is not with anyone else) and they’re not like. ashamed of that. there’s so much canon content i cry daily. 

here lemme break it down

we know they knew each other in the garrison, and not just like in passing, like acquaintances, but enough that keith was the only person there to see shiro off when the kerberos mission launched. in s1ep1 lance says of shiro “omg that guys my hero” and of keith “you’re my rival” but neither shiro nor keith know who lance even fuckin is. bc presumably they didnt hang out. everyone in the garrison knows who keith and shiro are but they - keith especially it seems like - dont keep track of the other students. also theres this whole fanon thing where shiro and matt were best friends in the garrison and hung out all the time before kerberos, but in s4 when matt greets shiro hes incredibly stiff and awkward and calls him sir and shiro just goes “pidge never gave up on u buddy” which i guess could be a clone thing but could also be him bein like “i totally did give up on u tho, whatever” (and i can totally buy that considering how pidge’s whole personal arc this whole time has been looking for matt and their dad, and while shiro has been supportive of that, he’s also been like hey dude that’s not our top priority as a team). so from that i infer that matt and shiro werent best buds in the garrison, and that he must have spent a lot more of his time with keith bc in s2ep1 keith makes it clear that shiro made a significant impact on his life and that he still thinks about things shiro said to him before kerberos. which we havent seen. bc theyre hiding the pre-kerberos backstory from us and i cry. also their flashbacks in s1ep2 (i think, i dont exactly remember which ep but i think its that one) when they all put on the headsets and we see their fondest memories, shiro’s is the day they were separated and keith’s is the day they found each other again like jesus.

then there’s keith’s first scene in the show. the first thing we see him doing is kicking the shit out of like three garrison guys to rescue shiro. we get that close up of him touching shiro’s unconscious fuckin face and his first line in the whole show is him saying shiro’s name. like shit dude how am i supposed 2 not ship that. the first time keith and lance interact, its lance butting in on that moment and keith being like “who the fuck are u” and its. uncomfortable. we also know that keith has been livin alone in the desert and obsessing over these lion carvings bc he got kicked out of the garrison for basically insubordination sometime after shiro went missing. we get that scene in the shack where keith talks abt feeling lost until shiro showed up and everyone else in the room looking all confused and uncomfortable as these two dudes who clearly already know each other well and have been separated for like a year just stare into each other’s eyes or what the fuck ever. also the scene outside the shack where keith comes and finds shiro and puts a hand on his shoulder and asks him how hes doing - theyre alone for that part. also worth mentioning is that keith has no hesitation touching shiro’s galra tech arm, whereas lance hesitates before shaking his hand. we see a bunch of times that keith is touch averse with almost everyone except shiro, in a way that indicates a degree of prior familiarity and a good understanding of boundaries that keith hasnt had the time or inclination to set up with lance, hunk, pidge, allura, coran etc. also the one time he holds lance when sendack attacks the castle and lance is unconscious, lance sort of blows it off later and basically goes “no homo” when keith brings it up so that was a bummer

i also love some of the Pauses they put into shiro and keith’s dialogue, some of them are just. so choice. like when keith proposes a crazy plan that puts him in danger and shiro just takes a sec, closes his eyes, then goes “alright i’ll back u up, do what u gotta do” like!!!! boi!!!!!! thats good shit. also in s2ep9 during the blade of marmora trial when keith is basically having this nightmare about shiro rejecting him because of his connection to the galra, (which real actual shiro can see because this whole ep was a fuckin fanfiction) and he does that same thing where hes like “shiro... *pause, close eyes for Just a sec* you’re like a brother to me” which! by the way!! i have said the same thing!! to a friend i had a crush on!!! who was straight!!!! and i was a little baby who didnt know i was into girls yet and we used to say we were like sisters bc i? didnt know i?? was gay???? we shared her bed whenever i stayed over and she really did see me as a sister and i would just lie next to her and daydream about touching her boobs,, anyway keith is so relatable there i could yell forever but continuing on,

can we, real quick, talk abt the first time keith flies the black lion? bc in s2ep1 hes not the black paladin yet. real shiro is still around. and keith legit goes up to black, puts a hand on her big ole nose and goes “ur boi is in trouble, we gotta help him” and she goes “yeah dude hop in” like?????????????? thats some fanfic shit again! black Knows! also dont even talk to me abt how many times keith and shiro yell each others names in that ep its unreal. also the trope (that i eat the fuck up every time) of one member of the otp lying trapped and injured somewhere and talking to the other member of the otp thru a helmet comm or whatever and they cant see each other but they can hear each others voices, so they have to keep talking to like reassure each other they’re both still alive and okay?!!! im such a sucker for that shit!!!! ummmmm the fact that shiro keeps reassuring keith that hes fine when theres a gaping glowing wound in his side and hes like visibly in pain, clenching his teeth, eyes closed, groaning, sweat beading on his forehead, the whole fuckin thing?? and josh knocked it outta the park with shiro’s voice in that ep making him sound like he was trying not to sound hurt and exhausted so that keith wouldn’t worry too much like Fuck me up!! smiling thru the pain when keith talks abt how much shiro changed his life and made him a better person??? boi!!!!!

then there are the times when shiro talks abt something happening to him and keith taking over as voltron’s leader, and keith gets all panicked about it like he cant stand the thought of losing shiro again (this happens a bunch of times but the ones that are coming to mind are s2ep1 and s2ep9 bc. again. those are the fanfic episodes). and then he Does lose him again and he’s so clearly grieving, lashing out at the rest of the team, super obviously feeling shiro’s loss more than the others (and lance is a real dick about it a bunch of times which really rubbed me wrong), going out to look for him over and over bc he wants to believe so bad that shiro’s out there somewhere. omg the “please no” when the black lion accepts him that shit Fucked me right up!! he wants to honor shiro’s wishes!! but some part of him knows that’s like admitting that shiro’s gone and isn’t coming back. and then!!!!!! when they find kuron and its just the red lion and the galra ship floating alone in space just like. gently drifting toward each other. keith’s little tired smile there. fuck me up. and then we find out in the next scene that keith has been the only one in shiro (kuron)’s room while he’s recovering and shiro (kuron) hasnt bothered to shave or cut his hair or get dressed yet and he lets keith see him like that and not the rest of the team. fuck. keith looks Exhausted in that scene. hes got bags under his eyes, hes kinda hunched in on himself, arms crossed, like something in him Knows this isnt his boi but he wants to believe it’s him so bad and its. god. its a lot. and Then when hes turning to leave and kuron is like “how many times will u have to save me before this is over” and keith’s face just relaxes into this legitimately genuine smile when he says “as many times as it takes” like!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fuck me

this is where it starts gettin awkward with them bc kuron isnt shiro and he doesnt treat keith the way shiro would but he Tries, like after keith fucks up that one mission and kuron comes and finds him (again, in private) to touch his shoulder and be like “im proud of u boi” when keith clearly Did Not Do A Good Job and keith just looks bummed like “thats. thats not tru” and it Hurts me bc we know real shiro doesnt do fake praise. also kuron orders keith to put himself in danger more than once and doesnt give a shit that keith and the others get hurt because of it which also real shiro would never do - we’ve seen him react when his teammates take hits before, but especially keith, like during the bom trial. then theres s4ep1 where keith sort of drifts away from team voltron in order to do more stuff with the blade of marmora and everyone’s pissed at him but then as hes walking out kuron’s like “you know we’re here for you if you need us” and keith gets that soft smile again like “i know and i cant tell you how much that means to me” and then they do that good good hand clasp that turns into a hug which by the way is a stark contrast to when other people hug keith and they just kinda grab him and he goes all stiff and it takes him a sec or three to put his arms around them if he even does that at all - with shiro they do the hand clasp first and then walk into the hug together and keith buries his face in shiro’s fuckin shoulder and smiles and closes his eyes and i wanna die. and theyve done this twice now which makes me think they probs did it before kerberos too and that also hurts me. 

then theres s4ep6 where keith has gone the whole season feeling like he was a bad leader. it seems like voltron doesnt rly need him and his friends dont need him and shiro doesnt need him and hes been hanging with the bom who have their whole philosophy of not going back to rescue their own guys if it means putting the mission or the rest of the team in danger (which keith already was saying when allura was captured - how very galra of him) and now keith’s having to readjust to that mindset after being part of such a close knit team. so when he sees a way to take that shield down, he just fuckin goes for it. hes started to see himself as expendable. when shiro thinks hes about to die, we get all kinds of flashbacks, the first of which is him and keith alone outside the shack. there are no flashbacks with keith. he just closes his eyes. and shiro (kuron) congratulates him. like obv its before he knows what keith was about to do, but still, thats some fucked up shit. 

now this wasnt rly part of ur question, ie u didnt ask me how i felt abt klance, but i feel like i gotta say: lance just grates on me. im sorry i know lots of people who love him but he just. isnt my cup of tea. and i do think the relationship shown in the show between keith and shiro is a lot more mature and healthy than the one shown between lance and keith. lance has some good moments! but canon lance and fanon lance seem like two entirely different people to me a lot of the time and thats all cool and fine if ur lookin for that, again im not here to stop ppl from having fun, but there are so many good sheith moments in the show and im just glad to see the relationship between two dudes depicted that way regardless of whether it becomes canon or not. also lance in the show is only shown being attracted to girls, and in kinda a skeevy way - like ive met guys who treat me like that and been Very off-put by that kind of behavior. and it would put me off if after all that they got him together with keith. like hes just superficially interested in all these hot girls but keith, who he has very few heartfelt intimate moments with onscreen, is his True Love? like thats,, not good bi rep. i Do rly like the bond hes been building with allura since they switched lions, that seems like its going in a direction that could turn out to be very wholesome and sweet. but again, if klance is ur thing, by all means have a ball.

k that was a lot but tl:dr i like 2 cry and sheith provides me with lots of opportunities to do that,, if u read it all then thank u deeply and truly for ur attention, u probs Understand me as a person a bit better than before lol

A Weekend in Paris

Chapter 11

  Monday, July 24, 2023, Just outside Austin, Texas

 Riley and Lucas had packed up their things and left Paris, Texas behind. Riley was sad to leave, but would always remember it. She got engaged and drunk all in the same day. She was ashamed that she went overboard on the champagne and fell asleep on Lucas. She made it up to him though, they had spent the entire day, just the two of them and there were no interruptions.

They had been on the road since just before noon, Lucas was driving and Riley was staring at her ring and couldn’t help but smile. The diamond of her ring was sparkling as the sun hit it and she kept moving her hand to watch it. Lucas saw her and asked, “I take it you like the ring?”

“It’s perfect and I love it!” she told him. “I’m never taking it off.”

“That’s kind of the plan, I want it to always be right there,” he reached for her hand and held on to it.

He was about to say something else when his phone went off with a text alert. He handed Riley his phone and she opened the message, which just so happened to be from Zay.

I don’t know how close you are to Pappy Joe’s, but you need to get here quick. Your Dad and Pappy have been arguing for a while now. Your dad told your mom to pack up the car because he was ready to go back to New York City.

Riley read the message to him and all Lucas could do was push his cowboy hat back on his head and grip the steering wheel a little tighter.

“What do I say to him, Lucas? It sounds pretty bad.” Riley was really worried about the Friar men.

Lucas thought for a minute and got an idea, “Riley, would you mind driving the rest of the way? We’re only a few miles from Austin and then a little farther to the ranch.”

“Seriously? You want me to drive Pappy Joe’s truck? I have been wanting to drive this truck ever since the first time I rode in it.” She was more than eager to drive.

Lucas found a gas station and pulled in so they could trade places. Lucas opened the driver door and got out and Riley happily scooted to the driver seat. Once Lucas was in the passenger seat and Riley had adjusted the mirrors she took off kicking up some dust behind her.

“Woah city girl, this isn't rush hour in New York City!” he said with a laugh.

 She just smiled at him as she concentrated on driving.

 Lucas started sending text messages and even called Cory.

“Hey, Cory, how are things between my Dad and Pappy going?” he asked. This was the only situation where it was a little weird to call Cory dad.

 “It’s handled for the moment, Lucas. I talked your dad into taking me on a little walking tour of the ranch. How long until you and Riley will be here?”

 “We’ll be there within the hour, just keep them apart for a little while longer, please.” Lucas had to think of a way to get through to them.

 “I’m with your dad and Zay has Pappy Joe preoccupied with his Grandma Gandy. Everything's under control, Lucas.” Cory filled him in on things.

 “Thanks for everything, Dad. Riley’s driving so we should be there pretty quick,” he told Cory.

 “Tell my daughter to watch her lead foot and to be careful!” Cory said with a laugh.

 Lucas hung up the phone and got lost in his thoughts. He tried to remember when things went so bad between his dad and grandfather. He knew they had trouble before his father got transferred to New York and that seemed to make things even worse between them.

 He thinks back to the year his Grammy Emma died. That was hard on his Pappy and his dad. She was the heart and soul of the Friar family. He was 10 years old when she passed and it seems things between Joe and James Friar went downhill after that. Lucas just can’t recall why. He had been lost in his own grief and couldn't understand why God took her away.

 Lucas needed to have a talk with both his father and grandfather if he had any hope of mending things between them and he would have to make sure Riley didn’t show his dad the letter Pappy Joe wrote them for their engagement. The letter would help but it wouldn't fix everything.

Lucas was brought out of his thoughts by a horn honking. He looked up and noticed they were in Austin and had gotten caught up in some slow-moving traffic, which apparently didn’t please his fiancé. She honked the horn again and started yelling at the cars ahead of them.

 “Come on, ya jerks! The sign says 55 miles per hour, not 20! My grandma drives faster than you people!” Riley was clearly very irritated. She started to honk the horn again, but Lucas caught her hand just as it was about to make contact.

 “Babe, it’s just a little traffic, calm down.” He said in a calm sounding voice.

 “A little traffic, Lucas we’re practically at a standstill, why won’t they move? Geez, people, come on, will ya?” She shouted again.

 Lucas placed a hand on her shoulder and gave a gentle squeeze, “Riley, take a deep breath and count to 10!” he yelled. “See it’s just someone with car trouble.”

Riley did as Lucas told her and when she saw the stalled car on the side of the road, she felt bad.

“I’m sorry!” she said, sounding remorseful. “We should stop and help.”

“Riley, it’s OK! Someone has already stopped and we need to get to the ranch. Who knew you were so much like your father when it came to driving!” he said with a laugh.

“He did teach me everything I know about driving, which may or may not be a good thing!” she said smiling. She continued to drive through Austin and Lucas went back to his thoughts.

 It wasn’t long before they were out of the city and into the hilly countryside. Riley really wanted to talk to Lucas about his dad and Pappy but she wasn't sure what to say. They certainly were no Cory and Alan Matthews.

 When she first met James Friar she was a little scared of him. He wasn’t as big and burly as Pappy Joe and his voice was nowhere near as big and booming either. He had a presence about him that all but commanded respect. He was always kind to her but she always got a little nervous when he was around.

James and Lucas had a strained relationship, and she figured it was partly due to Lucas’ actions that got him expelled from school in Texas. She has come to learn over the years that the man she feared isn’t what she originally thought. He worked hard to provide for his family and was there when his job didn't keep him away.

 He wasn’t very happy with Lucas’ choice of career. He wanted him to go into business or head back to Texas to help on the ranch. Once James saw his passion for veterinary medicine and understood that Lucas was a natural with animals, he became supportive of his son's dreams and the two found common ground. They had barely had an argument since Lucas turned 18. Riley was glad that her conversation with Lucas’ dad had helped the two forge a new relationship and understanding of each other. She wished it would be that easy for James and Pappy Joe.

 She looked over at Lucas who was staring out the window, watching the landscape fly by. “Penny for your thoughts,” she said.

“We don’t have enough money for you to buy my thoughts right now, Riles,” he seemed so sad.

She frowned at him and when she realized that the gate to the ranch was just up ahead she grabbed his hand and said, “we’re here.”

Lucas tightened the grip he had on her hand and asked her to stop the truck once she turned into the drive.

She did as he asked. “Why did we stop, Lucas? It’s not going to make the situation go away.”

 Lucas scooted across the seat of the truck until he was next to her. he gathered her in his arms and kissed her as if his life depended on it. When he broke the kiss, he let her go and scooted back towards the passenger door. He took her hand in his again and looked her in the eye, “I promise you and our future children that I will never fight with them the way I have with my father and him with his. I want to be like your dad, a little overprotective and I want them to know that their father will love and support them always.”

 “I know that’s the kind of father you’ll be, our children will be lucky to have you for their dad,” she said. She knew he would never put their kids thru the things he had experienced.

 “I’m ready, you can start the truck and head for the house,” he said.

 Riley started the truck and put it in gear. She probably drove down that driveway slower than she has ever driven in her life.

Monday, July 24, 2023, Pappy Joe’s Ranch

When they pulled up to the house, Riley gave Lucas’ hand a squeeze of reassurance. As they got to the front door of the house they were greeted by every member of Lucas’ immediate family and her parents. His Aunt Jessie and Uncle Jack were the first to offer their congratulations. Aunt Jessie picked up Riley’s left hand in hers and looked at her mother’s ring on Riley’s hand, “That ring was made for your hand, Riley, I had forgotten how beautiful it was. I’m glad Lucas gave it to you, something that beautiful should be worn for everyone to see.”

“Thank you, Aunt Jessie, that means a lot to me,” Riley said.

“Not to force you into anything, but when it comes time for dress shopping, I have a couple of family heirlooms, you might like to see,” Jessie told them.

Lucas looked at Riley and smiled, “this is all your territory. I don’t think I’d look too good in a dress.”

Riley playfully smacked his arm, “Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind.” Aunt Jessie excused herself to go check on her boys, Justus and Joey, just knowing they were off causing trouble somewhere.

Next to greet them was Ellie and her handsome cowboy, Sam. Ellie couldn’t get over Riley’s ring and started dropping hints for Sam, who appeared to be rather nervous.

Lucas scanned the room for any sign of his dad or grandfather and didn’t see either man in the house. He found Cory first and asked him, “where is my dad, Cory? I need to have a few words with him in private.”

 Cory pointed Lucas in the direction of the pond. He caught sight of his father once he neared the edge of the pond. When his dad heard him approach, he turned and looked at him, but didn’t say anything. Lucas walked over and stood next to his father and the two of them looked out over the water for a bit.

 Lucas knew he would have to speak first. James Friar was a stubborn man, nowhere near as stubborn as his own father, but Lucas knew he wasn’t going to break the silence. “You want to talk about it, Dad?”

“Not really, son. Where’s Riley? I’d really like to see her before I leave. I can’t stay here with him, I’m sorry, Lucas,” he sounded like his mind was made up.

“Why not, Dad? He’s your father, how would you feel if it was me running out on you? You and I had our problems, granted nothing like you and Pappy, but I never walked away from a conversation with you, you’re the one that taught me that,” he was gonna have to make his dad feel bad.

“I wouldn’t like it all, but you and I always managed to talk through things, Luke. Your Pappy is a stubborn man and when we start talking it always ends in an argument and that scares me with his age and health. It’s easier to walk away.” His dad just turned and looked back out over the water.

“What do you mean? I’m 23, you’re 43 and Pappy Joe is 70. Granted he’s no spring chicken, but he doesn’t have a foot in his grave yet. He’s healthy as a horse!” Lucas wasn’t going to let it go, “Please stick around for one more day, for me?”

James knew how much this meant to Lucas and couldn’t let his son down. He turned and faced Lucas, he looked into those green eyes that matched his own, eyes that he and his sister had inherited from their mother. I will stay one more day and I’ll stay for the party Luke,” he placed a hand on Lucas’ shoulder, “we better head back to the house, your momma, Topanga, and Ellie have been cooking all day.”

“Wait, you weren’t really going to leave, were you?” Lucas asked.

 “I was going to go to Jessie and Jack’s today and head back home with your momma tomorrow, but she has been planning this little shindig since you told us you were proposing to Riley,” James smiled at his son.

“Thanks, dad,” Lucas hugged him.

“Do me a favor son, never put your wife and kids thru this. Never go to bed angry at your child, don’t let things fester and get to the point things are with me and Pappy, please?” his father was almost begging him.

“I can promise you I won’t do that, I already told Riley it would never happen,” his dad smiled as he told him.

 Lucas walked back to the house with his father, just in time to hear his grandfather enter the room and say, “Where are they?”

 Riley walked over to Lucas and grabbed his hand and pulled him toward, Pappy Joe, “right here, Pappy Joe!”

 Pappy Joe put an arm around each of them and pulled them close for a hug, “I’m so happy for the two of you, I’m finally getting my granddaughter! Let me see that ring on your finger, girl!” Pappy Joe held Riley’s small hand in his and pulled his eye glasses out of his pocket and put them on. Pappy Joe had a tear in his eye when he saw the ring.

“What’s wrong, Pappy Joe, does it not look right on my hand? Lucas told me it was his Grammy’s,” Riley’s voice was full of concern.

Pappy Joe looked her in the eye, “this ring looks like it was made for your hand, beautiful! Emma would be tickled to death to see it on your finger.” Pappy turned and walked away from them.

“He’s okay, Riley, I think he just needs a minute, I’ll go check on him,” Lucas told her.

Lucas headed down the hall to his grandfather’s room, he knocked but got no answer. The door was open a bit and Lucas pushed it open.

Pappy Joe heard the door and assumed it was Jimmy (James) coming to look for him. He just continued to stare out the window, with his back to the door.

“Jimmy, please just go, I don’t want to argue with you anymore, it's exhausting! I just want to enjoy celebrating Lucas and Riley’s engagement. Please just go away, boy!” he just didn't have it in him to go another round.

Lucas could hear the weariness in his grandfather’s voice, the old man was tired.

“Why don’t you put an end to it then, he doesn’t like it anymore than you do, Pappy,” Lucas told him.

Joe turned when he heard Lucas’ voice, “Lucas, I’m sorry, I just assumed it was Jimmy. How was your trip with Riley, did she like Paris? Was she surprised.” He wanted to change the subject.

“The trip was good and yes, she loved Paris and was very surprised. Zay has it all in a video for everyone to see. I assume momma and Topanga will make sure everyone gets to see it.”

“That was awful nice of Zay and his girl, what’s her name? I forget, awful sweet girl, though. We best get back out there, it'll be time to eat soon. The ladies have been running ‘round here all day. Bet there’s some good eatin’ to be had.” Joe said

“Sarah, her name is Sarah and she is very sweet. I’m sure mom and Topanga will have an excellent dinner, but I don’t want to talk about that now. I want to talk about you and my dad, what’s going on Pappy Joe?” Lucas wanted to get to the bottom of things.

“We just had some words is all. Nothing for you to worry about.”

“But I am worried, Pappy,” Lucas had his grandfather’s complete attention once he said those words. “The letter you gave us, said that you were proud of him and his choices, the things you said about him and Mom and Granddaddy Bradford, they were beautiful.” Lucas chose his next words carefully, “When I got expelled and dad got the transfer to New York, you told him the best place for me was the ranch. You were happy that proved to be wrong, you said he was right about a change of scenery. You’ve always said New York was the best thing to happen to me. Do you not feel that way?” Lucas knew he was asking a lot of questions, he wanted to figure things out?

“Every word I said in that letter was the truth. I’m proud of you and I’m proud of Jimmy. I don’t think Jimmy wants anything I have to offer him. He’s been in the city 10 years now and I don’t think he’s ever gonna come back home.” Pappy Joe finally said what was on his mind and heart.

“Pappy, have you asked dad if he and mom ever plan to come back to Texas?” Lucas knew this grandfather’s answer before he even asked.

“No, it’s not my place. Jimmy has always made his mind up about things, regardless of what I think. He’s a lot like his momma,” Pappy Joe turned away from Lucas and looked back out the window. “This ranch isn’t any place for someone with your daddy’s head for business. I’m just an old fool.”

“You miss him, there is nothing wrong with admitting that. Dad would love to hear those words from you! The two of you are so stubborn that you talk about everything but what you feel and all that does is end in the two of you arguing. He wants your approval and you refuse to tell him that he has it!” Lucas finally understood what the problem was. His father and Pappy were about to learn a lesson he learned a long time ago from some guy that wanted to be a Sherpa.

 While Lucas had taken off after his grandfather, Riley pulled her own father aside and asked him what he thought about the situation with James and Pappy.

“Honey, this is something that the two of them have to work out between them. Issues between a parent and child are touchy,” Cory told her.

“What if I had some information that could potentially end the arguing and get them past their issues, should I share that information, Daddy?” Riley asked.

“Have you spoken to Lucas about this, sweetie?” Cory asked her.

“Yes, I have. He told me not to share it,” she admitted.

“Riley, you need to honor Lucas’ wishes on this, he must have his reasons. You may not be able to fix this, honey.” Cory was sympathetic to what Riley wanted to do, but she needed to do what Lucas asked of her.

“You’re siding with Lucas?” she was a bit surprised at that, her father always backed her.

“Riley, he has his reasons, respect them,” Cory was pleading.

“I have my reasons too, Dad,” with that she kissed her father on the cheek and went in search of her future father in law. She didn’t have to look too far, he was in the kitchen trying to sneak a bite of some pulled pork that had been made for dinner.

“Hey, James, sorry I mean dad. Can I talk to you for a minute?” she asked with a smile.

“Anything for my future daughter in law!” he smiled and offered Riley his arm and led her out to the back deck. “What did you want to talk about, Riley?”

“You and Pappy Joe,” she said.

“Riley, I don’t think that is any of your business,” he told her.

“Why? Because I’m not a Friar?" she knew that question was out of line, "I'm sorry that was uncalled for."

"You are a Friar, have been for years now. What I was going to say is that I don't think this concerns you, it's between me and my father," James explained.

"But it does concern me because it concerns Lucas. Your constant arguing with Pappy Joe is wearing on him. It needs to stop before it tears all three of you apart. Lucas is in the middle and that isn't some place he needs to be," Riley told him.

James thought about what Riley just told him, he didn't want this to affect Lucas. His father would feel the same way. If there was one thing James and Pappy Joe agreed on it was Lucas.

"Say whatever it is you need to say, Riley, I'm listening," he would hear her out.

“It’s not so much what I have to say, I want to show you something.” She said as she pulled a piece of folded up paper from her pocket. She held it out towards James.

“What’s this?” he asked as he took it from her hand. He didn’t unfold it right away.

“That is something Pappy Joe wrote, I just copied it word for word, you need to read it.” she really hoped he would.

“What do you mean, Pappy Joe’s words?” he was curious what she was talking about.

“Do you remember the envelope you and Kelly gave us the other night, the one from Pappy Joe? Well, it was a letter for me and Lucas. He told us what he knew about marriage, it was beautiful.” she explained.

“Riley, those words were meant for you and Lucas, what does this have to do with me? James asked, even more, curious about the piece of paper.

“Pappy Joe wrote about you and Kelly. I think he said things about you in this letter that you need to know. Maybe they aren’t things he can voice. I hope you read it. I love Lucas and I love you and Pappy Joe, you Friar men are pretty special.” she gave him one of those trademark Riley smiles, kissed his cheek and walked back in the house.

He watched her walk away and thought how lucky his son was to have someone like her to spend the rest of his life with. He turned the piece of paper in his hand and finally decided to unfold it. He took a deep breath and read the words his father wrote about him.

Lucas, your parents have been together since they were 14 years old. I’ll never forget the day Jimmy came home all starry eyed over your momma. He came out to the barn to tell me all about the new girl in school. Kelly Bradford made quite an impression on your dad. She was all he talked about for the next 6 months. I remember he asked her dad for permission to take her on a date. Jimmy was so heart-broken when your Granddaddy told him that he didn’t want Kelly dating until she was 16. Most teenage boys would have given up, but not my Jimmy. The two of them spent as much time together as Marcus Bradford would allow. The very day Kelly turned 16, Jimmy asked Marcus for his permission again and this time he got it. She said yes and the rest is history. They had spent two years getting to know each other and they fell quickly. Your dad was always respectful of your grandfather’s wishes where your momma was concerned. About a month after they graduated from high school, he asked for her hand. Old Marcus Bradford, couldn’t deny that they belonged together. They got married when they were 19 and a couple years later you came along. I’m proud that you have had their example.  

I’m proud of the example Jimmy’s been as a father too. He had a tough decision to make when you got expelled and that caused the two of you to have some rough years. I wasn’t happy with it at the time, I knew I would miss you and thought the best place for you was here on this ranch. I’m glad to admit I was wrong. Moving to New York City was the best thing to happen to you, in more ways than one. I owe your dad an apology for my behavior ever since. I know the only thing that boy wants is his father’s approval but he’s always had it and I just don’t know how to tell him what he needs to hear.  You wouldn’t have ever met Riley if he hadn’t insisted you needed a change. You’ve made good friends and you’ve made good choices for your life and I couldn’t be prouder of you, boy.

Riley walked back in the kitchen and noticed it was empty, she was going to offer her help to her mother and Kelly. She heard laughing and talking coming from the living room. Everyone was there, with the addition of two people she had met briefly during her high school graduation, Lucas’ Granddaddy and Memaw Bradford, Marcus, and Lily.

Granddaddy wasted no time, he walked right up to Riley and opened his arms for her, she walked right to him and hugged him, “Riley girl, you’ve grown up so pretty!” he said as he pulled away from her and looked at her.

“Thank you, Granddaddy, it’s so good to see you again,” Riley said.

She turned and saw Memaw waiting patiently, “You too, Memaw!” Riley turned to hug the older woman.

“Look at you, all grown up and so beautiful! I also understand you finally caught your fella here too.” Memaw took Riley’s left hand and looked at the ring, winking her eye in approval and adding, “very nice!”

She and Lucas spent a few more minutes catching up with his grandparents before Riley saw someone in the corner of the room she needed to talk to. She excused herself and walked over to the lady sitting on the end of the sofa that had been pushed to the side.

She sat down next to that person, apparently, waking them from a small nap, “Well, if it isn’t the bride to be!” Ida Mae Gandy had a big smile for her.

“I’m sorry if I startled you when I sat down, Grandma,” Riley said in apology.

“You didn’t startle me, I was just having a power nap,” she said with a laugh. “Now let me see this ring that has been described to me as an ice rink.”

Riley happily held up her left hand for Grandma Gandy to get a good look at her ring. “That’s no ice rink, it’s a very beautiful ring, I must say.”

“Thanks, Grandma. Who described it as an ice rink?” Riley asked.

“My Isaiah’s sweet little girlfriend, Sarah. I think she’s a bit jealous. They showed me the video and some of the pictures from the proposal, that sweet boy did good, didn’t he?” Grandma asked.

“Yes, Lucas did very good, it was a wonderful surprise,” Riley said with a smile.

She sat in conversation with Ida Mae for a few more minutes and excused herself when she saw Lucas’ dad walk into the living room and greet his mother and father in law. She was curious to ask if he read Pappy Joe’s words. He noticed her approach and just smiled at her and nodded. She had her answer.

Kelly Friar and Topanga Matthews walked into the room and announced that dinner was ready. They all headed out to the back yard where tables had been set up for the occasion. There was a handwritten banner that read, Congrats Riley and Lucas!

She suspected that Auggie and his two new best friends, Justus and Joey had a hand in that.

Riley and Lucas were the first to go through the food line, they both had plates heaped with food, they found a place to sit and were soon joined by Zay and Sarah and Ellie and Sam, the sexy cowboy. They talked about everything under the sun, Riley talked about the Eiffel in Paris, Texas and how fitting the cowboy hat on top of it was, Sarah talked about Zay’s grandmother and her thoughts on Texas. Ellie talked about her stint in culinary school and how she wanted to be one of those TV chefs, Sam told them that he was now a full-time employee of Pappy Joe’s and that he would start at the ranch in a few days.

As the evening wore on Riley and Lucas were both anxious about Pappy Joe and James. They hadn’t been able to discuss their separate conversations with them, but Riley had a good feeling.

Someone had set up a makeshift dance floor in the yard and had an iPod hooked up to a speaker system. Couples broke off and started dancing, even Lucas’ grandparents joined in. Riley’s favorite couple on the dance floor had to be Pappy Joe and Grandma Gandy. They were dancing to an old slow song and enjoying each other's company.

Lucas and Zay decided to grab their girls and take a walk down by the pond. Sarah couldn’t believe the stars, “Wow! It’s so beautiful, I’ve never seen the stars like this.”

“All the lights in the city keep us from being able to see them,” Riley told her.

They stood there until Lucas's phone rang in his pocket.

It was Topanga calling him, he answered, “Hey, Mom, what’s up?”

“Where are you?” Topanga asked.

“We’re down at the pond with Zay and Sarah, what’s up?” He told her.

“You need to get up to the house now, your Dad and Pappy Joe are at it again and Cory and Sam are trying to keep them apart. Jessie’s involved and you just need to get here, now.” She hung up.

“We have to get to the house, now, Dad and Pappy again.” He grabbed Riley’s hand and made a beeline for the house.

Riley couldn’t believe what she was seeing, her dad was holding James back and Sam was holding Pappy Joe back.

“Old man, you don’t care about me, I have never been able to do anything that has made you happy!” James shouted.

“Now’s not the time for this conversation, Jimmy!” Pappy Joe shouted back.

Lucas ran to stand between them, thanking Cory and Sam for their help, “Would the two of you please stop! This is supposed to be a party, everyone we know and love is here. I thought the two of you could let this go for one night to celebrate with me and Riley, but you can’t!”

James looked at the ground feeling humiliated and angry with himself for starting another argument with his father.

“I’m sorry Luke, it was my fault. I just need to know if he meant these words,” James explained holding up the folded piece of paper Riley had given him.

“What’s that Dad?” Lucas asked him.

“It’s something Riley gave me.” His dad answered.

Lucas looks at Riley and she looked away, he knew what it was.

“Riles, babe what did you do?” He asked, but he knew.

“I showed him what Pappy Joe wrote, I had to, your Dad needed to see it,” Riley explained.

“I asked you not to do that Riley, why?” Lucas asked her.

“I know you did, but you know me and you know I have to fix things, I did it for you Lucas and your Dad and Pappy Joe. I love you and I know what the two of them arguing is doing to you, what it must do to the two of them,” she explained to him.

Everyone was silent. Cory spoke to the crowd, “I think we need to let the four of them talk this out in private.” The crowd started to go back in the house, “Riley, you got this?”

“I got this, Daddy. Thank you,” she kissed her father on the cheek and he headed inside.

“Riley, what did you do?” Pappy Joe asked her.

“Well, since you and your son won’t sit down and have an actual conversation, I showed him what you said about him in the letter you gave me and Lucas.” she was looking him straight in the eyes.

“Why would you do that?” He just couldn't understand.

“Because, you and James need to sit down and have a real conversation, not yell at each other and try to talk over the other person, Lucas and I learned a valuable lesson a long time ago,” she said.

“The most meaningful part of any relationship is conversation,” Lucas said. “That was advice given to Riley and I before we officially became boyfriend and girlfriend. My favorite thing in this world is when she talks to me and I think it always will be.”

Riley walked over to Lucas and grabbed his hand, “I think that’s one of the reasons we get along so well, we talk about everything. There are times, I don’t have to talk to him, we just know what the other is thinking or feeling about something.”

Pappy Joe had sat down on a nearby bench and Riley went and sat next to him, “ Pappy Joe, I’m sorry I shared part of that beautiful letter you wrote us, but James needed to know how you felt. I only did it because…”

“She loves us Dad, at least that’s what she told me when she gave me this piece of paper,” James chimed in. “We’re very lucky that she’s going to be a Friar.”

“Well, that’s something I agree with you about, Jimmy,” Pappy Joe said, smiling up at Riley.

Lucas sat next to Riley while his Dad sat next to Pappy Joe, “Can I ask you about this again, Dad?” James asked holding that folded up piece of paper where Joe could see it.

“You don’t have to ask Jimmy, I meant everything I said in that letter. I’m proud of you and the life you made for yourself, you have a wonderful family.” Pappy Joe said, he was having a hard time looking his son in the eye. “I owe you an apology, I was wrong about your move to New York, it was the right thing for you to do, it’s exactly what Lucas needed, I’m sorry, son.”

James stood up and offered a hand to his father, “I accept that apology, I love you, Dad and I hate that I’ve acted like a child seeking his father’s approval for his life choices. I’m sorry, too.”

Pappy Joe refused James’ hand, instead, he stood up, looked his son in the eye and said, “I don’t say this near enough to any of you, I love you Jimmy and you have nothing to apologize for,” Joe opened his arms and hugged his son.

James couldn’t believe his father had said those words to him, he hadn’t heard them a lot in his life. He returned his father’s hug.

Lucas and Riley were sitting there watching father and son reconnect with tears in their eyes. It dawned on Lucas that there was something his Pappy needed to ask his Dad. He stood up and walked over to them and cleared his throat trying to get their attention. James pulled away from Joe just enough to pull Lucas in and include him in their hug, Lucas just laughed.

Once the three Friar men ended their hug, Lucas got serious and looked at his Pappy and said, “Isn’t there something you wanted to ask Dad, Pappy?”

Joe was a little surprised Lucas would bring that up now and the look on his face must have said as much.

“Don’t stop talking now, the lines of communication are open, ask him or tell him what you’re feeling.” Lucas wanted it all out in the open.

“What’s Luke talking about Dad?” James asked.

“I have something I want to ask, but don’t know what Y'all will think.” Pappy Joe was a bit nervous.

“Just do it, Dad,” James said.

“Pappy, get it all out in the open, please.” Lucas encouraged.

“OK,” Pappy Joe said. “Jimmy, I was wondering if you and Kelly had ever thought about or discussed moving back to Texas?”

Pappy Joe’s question caught James completely by surprise, “Well, I mean, I don’t know, we had talked about it a few times, but nothing has been set in stone.”

“It’s been 10 years since you left and I was just wondered if you had any plans to come home?” Pappy asked. “Do you miss the ranch at all?”

“Dad, of course, I miss the ranch, I miss everything about it. Our jobs and home are in New York though, so is Luke.” James answered.

“Lucas is a grown man about to be a married man with a wife, he won’t need his momma and daddy around so much. Kelly can teach school anywhere, and I need a good man with a head for business on the ranch, someone to take care of this legacy I’ve built. That someone should be a Friar.” Joe had tears in his eyes.

“I just figured with Jessie and Jack here, they’d be taking over the day to day operations, Dad.”

“Their moving off the ranch. They bought a small spread a couple miles from here and will be moving out of the house their in soon. It’ll be empty.” Joe was trying to sweeten the deal.

“Wait, how come this is the first I’m hearing about it?” James asked.

“I didn’t think it would be something you’d consider. Look, I’m gonna tell you like it is, Jimmy, I miss you and I know Marcus and Lily miss Kelly, none of us are getting any younger. I think it's about time you came home. You only left because Lucas needed a change and that was 10 years ago. The boy turned out well, don’t you think? This ranch was your dream once, it can still be that,” Joe was being as sincere as he could be and meant every word.

“You miss me?” James asked, smiling.

“Yes, I miss you, you’re my boy and I miss seeing you every day, maybe that's where all our troubles were coming from, I don’t know,” Joe admitted.

James, with tears in his eyes, said, “I can’t make any promises Dad, but Kelly and I will seriously consider it, I miss you, too. She misses her folks and Lucas doesn’t have near as much time for us as he used to.”

“Dad, I’m right here, I try to see you and mom as often. as I can. But you guys need to do what’s right for the two of you, right now my life is very much in New York City, with Riley.” Lucas would miss them if they left, but he wanted them to be happy.

“We’d miss you too, Luke,” his father told him.

“Um, excuse me, hi, remember me, Riley.” she had been standing there watching the whole conversation, feeling forgotten. It made her all warm inside to see these men that she loved getting along and happy.

Lucas walked over to her and took her hand and pulled her with him, “We could never forget about you, babe.”

“Riley, it was once said that Lucas’ Grammy Emma was the glue that held this family together, I think that maybe when we lost her, me and Pappy Joe lost our way. You and Lucas helped us find a new way tonight, thank you both.” James was smiling as he said that.

Pappy Joe had to agree with James, “I know the two of you sure did teach this old dog a new trick or two. Thank you, Lucas and Riley, Lucas isn’t the only lucky Friar man here tonight, I think it's safe to say that all three of us are gonna be blessed with you as the next Mrs. Friar.”

Pulse Points Ch 11:  The Final Chapter

Many, many thanks to all of you who have supported this story and taken this journey with me. I cannot thank you enough, and know I read and cherish every review and appreciate every reblog and retweet so very much!  

This chapter is specifically dedicated to my precious friend and soul-sister @lillie-grey  as a belated birthday gift. Please forgive me for being a week late! And I’m leaving this verse open-ended so prompts and requests will be welcome. :)

With that, dear readers, I hope you enjoy! You can read it here or on ff.net. 

Christ, her feet hurt.

 Regina had followed Mary Margaret from Babies R Us to Buy Buy Baby, from Victoria’s Secret for some post-pregnancy lingerie, now that the new mom had been given the green light for having sex again, to Barnes and Noble for what supposedly was supposed to be an “in and out” errand. Said errand had morphed into a prolonged search for a children’s book that was ironically out of print, followed by coffee in the bookstore’s cafe and an impromptu nap for Baby Neal. Her friend had more energy than most new mothers, Regina mused, especially those who’d undergone an emergency C-Section only weeks prior, and she was glad to see Mary Margaret acting more like herself again. She just wished her feet weren’t paying the price for her friend’s unexpected burst of energy. She took another sip of her Flat White as she snuggled her godson to her chest and rubbed his back, relishing his soft weight and his sweet baby scent as his head rested on her shoulder.

 “Alright,” Mary Margaret stated, checking her watch as she returned from the restroom and took a final sip of her Frappuccino. “I think we should probably head home now.”

“Thank God,” Regina muttered, kissing Neal’s downy head as she stood. Her knees popped as her lower back protested, making her curse the questionable logic of wearing heels this afternoon. Snazzing up a little on a Saturday after wearing sensible shoes to work all week had been an appealing option this morning.

  She should have known better. She’d agreed to go shopping with Mary Margaret, after all.

“Haven’t you had fun?” the younger woman questioned, tugging the diaper bag over her shoulder as they made their way towards the exit.

 “A laugh a minute,” Regina returned, squinting as they stepped outside and sunlight struck her squarely in the face. Her sunglasses were buried in her purse and nigh on impossible to reach with a three-month-old snuggled into her chest. She shielded Neal’s eyes with her hand until Mary Margaret opened the car door, allowing her to lay the infant in his car seat and fasten him in securely. “I thought you said we’d be gone an hour or two when you called this morning, not half the damn day.”

 “Language,” Mary Margaret chided.

 “He’s eleven weeks old,” Regina said, clicking her own seat belt into place. “Besides, I’ve heard you say worse.”

 “His brain is developing at a rapid rate,” Mary Margaret returned. “And I don’t want it filled with profanity at such a crucial stage.”

 “Then keep him away from his godfather,” Regina shot back. “Killian would be a gold medalist if profanity were an Olympic sport.”

 “He’s doing better,” Mary Margaret argued. “Dating that social worker Emma has mellowed him out somewhat.”

 “He’s about as mellow as a crocodile,” Regina said, earning herself an eye roll from her companion. “Are you late for something?”

 Mary Margaret’s eyebrows shot up.

 “No,” she answered. “Not at all. Why would you think that?”

 “Because you keep checking your watch,” Regina stated as they pulled out of the parking lot. “You’ve been doing that all day, actually. Are you trying to put Neal on a new schedule?”

 “Something like that,” Mary Margaret said with a smile. “He’s sleeping better at night since we started supplementing my breast milk with formula, so we’re adjusting his naptimes to help him sleep through the night.”

 “Something I suggested you do weeks ago,” Regina reminded her. “May I remind you that I’m actually a pediatrician and know a bit more about a child’s health and development than those lactation blogs you follow.”

 “I know, I know,” Mary Margaret confessed. “And I should have listened to you instead of being so stubborn. He actually slept through the night last night for the first time.”

 “Who? David or Neal?”

 Mary Margaret snort laughed, making Regina chuckle, and they were lulled into a comfortable silence by the sweet melody of Mozart’s Cello Sonata in D Major wafting out of the car stereo speakers. The new mother’s insistence on playing classical music to support Neal’s cognitive development was something Regina actually enjoyed and vastly preferred to her friend’s standby collection of Barry Manilow and Air Supply CDs. She paused and looked over her shoulder to check on Baby Neal, his now chubby cheeks still slack in slumber.

 “Anyway, the extra sleep seems to be doing wonders for you. Your energy level has skyrocketed.”

 “It’s helped a lot,” Mary Margaret agreed, casting her eyes to the clock on her dashboard. “Regina, do you mind if we run through a drive-thru? I’m really thirsty.”

 “Are you kidding?” Regina asked. “We just had Starbucks.”

 “I need water,” Mary Margaret stated. “I’m starting to get a headache.”

 “We’re only ten minutes from my place,” Regina stated. “Can’t you wait that long? You can’t be dehydrated already, nursing mom or not.” She sighed as her friend turned into the McDonald’s parking lot and got into the longer of the two car lines. “Did you and David have a fight?”

 “Of course not,” Mary Margaret replied, eyeballing Regina suspiciously. “Why would you ask that?”

 “You just don’t seem to be in any hurry to get home,” Regina answered. “Especially after we spent twenty minutes in the Victoria’s Secret fitting room so you could find something red and skimpy to knock his socks off.”

 “I’m just enjoying time out of the house,” Mary Margaret said. “It’s been awhile since I’ve been able to do this. Besides, you and I haven’t had much girl time over the past few months, you know.”

 This was true enough. Between Mary Margaret being placed on bed rest the last six weeks of her pregnancy, Henry breaking his arm while trying to steal third base, Roland having to get glasses, Neal being a colicky baby, Regina being appointed as head of pediatrics and her increasingly serious relationship with Robin, life had kept them from seeing much of each other over an unseasonably hot summer. She hoped fall would grant them all some much needed down time to catch their breath and reconnect.

 “I know,” Regina admitted. “And I’m sorry I haven’t been able help out more with Neal. Some godmother I’ve been.”

 “You’re an amazing godmother,” Mary Margaret assured her as she pulled up to place her order. “Don’t ever doubt that, okay? Do you want anything?”

 “From McDonald’s?” Regina questioned, scrunching her nose. “No thank you.”

 “Your loss,” Mary Margaret quipped as she proceeded to order a bottle of water and a side of fries.

 They travelled home via a roundabout way, Mary Margaret muttering something about avoiding construction traffic Regina knew nothing about as she cranked up the air conditioning yet another notch.

 “Still hot natured, I take it?” Regina observed as they finally pulled to the curb in front of her townhouse and parked. Mary Margaret glanced around the neighborhood, absently uttering Yeah before exhaling audibly.

 “Don’t forget your shopping bags,” the younger woman reminded Regina.

 “Bag,” Regina corrected, holding up her solitary purchase from Victoria’s Secret, a sheer royal blue negligee she’d purchased with a certain blue-eyed restaurateur in mind. “I have one. You’re the one with a commercial armada packed into your trunk.”

“Babies require supplies,” Mary Margaret stated. “And diapers take up a lot of room.”

 “I know,” Regina returned as she stepped out of Mary Margaret’s Accord. “I have a son, remember? Just don’t let that red teddy get lost among all the Huggies.” She tossed her friend a wink before shutting the car door and waving, wishing she were brave enough to tug off her shoes here and now rather than waiting until she walked through her front door.

 God--putting her feet up sounded like heaven.

 The smell of something wonderful struck her as she walked up her front steps, a smell that made her mouth water and her stomach nearly cave in on itself. She hadn’t put anything into the crock pot this morning, and she turned, looking to see if Robin’s Outback was parked anywhere nearby. It wasn’t. He was supposed to have taken Henry and Roland to the Boston College football game this afternoon, and she couldn’t imagine that it would be over already, which left her with a problem.

 If Robin wasn’t here, who the hell was cooking in her house?

 She opened the door and stepped inside with caution, stunned into momentary silence by the sights and smells that greeted her. Her house looked like a scene straight out of a Hallmark movie, accentuated by the swoon-worthy aromas of Alonzo’s eggplant parmesan, Marco’s garlic bread and something decadent, chocolate and most-decidedly to-die-for. August and Alonzo stood side-by-side by the stove wearing professional-grade aprons, nodding their greeting as she strolled through her kitchen into the family and dining room area.

 Her curtains had been drawn, the main lights dimmed, jar candles and strands of white lights strung haphazardly about now her sole sources of light. Her dining room table was decked out to the nines, covered by a black tablecloth, accented by white napkins and a bouquet of multi-colored zinnias mixed with sprigs of lavender tastefully arranged in a mason jar. She recognized her good china laid out perfectly, a set she’d purchased for herself after her engagement ended years ago, and she strolled towards her pint-sized maître d’, a slicked-back, suit-clad, grinning-his-face-off Henry, who stood perfectly erect with a white cloth slung over his left arm.

 Her son had never looked more handsome.

 “Welcome to the Locksley-Mills Trattoria,” Henry stated with a bow. “Your reservation is ready, madame.”

 Her heart pounded in her temples, her throat now bone dry as Roland strolled to the table and pulled out a seat for her. The curly-headed wonder decked out in a tux was probably the cutest sight she’d ever seen, and she scoped the room, looking for his father, suddenly very aware of what she believed was happening here.

 Robin was going to propose. She knew it as clearly as if he’d just popped the question.

 But he was nowhere to be seen, not yet anyway, which was probably a good thing seeing that she wasn’t sure if she’d be able to form a coherent sentence in her present state. This had to be why Mary Margaret had kept her occupied all afternoon, so Robin and his band of merry men could turn her home into an Italian restaurant that somehow reminded her of the spaghetti scene in Lady and the Tramp.

 Dean Martin quietly crooned That’s Amore as she let Henry guide her to the table, smiling at Roland’s toothy grin as she nodded her thanks and sat down. Roland’s over-sized script labeled her place card in bold red marker, and she felt the beginnings of tears form as the boy unfolded her napkin with a flourish and placed it in her lap.

 “Would you like some water?” Henry asked as he set down a glass he’d filled to the brim. She took a sip immediately, afraid that if any of them even slightly jarred the table there would be a mess to clean up before the evening had even begun.

 “Thank you,” she managed, clearing her throat. “This is just what I needed.”

 “We have wine, too,” Roland added. “But Uncle August wouldn’t let us pour it for you. He said if we spilled it on your outfit that you’d be really piss…”

 “That’s enough, Roland.”

 His voice ran over her senses like warm molasses, making her insides feel sweet and sappy all over. He was behind her, the scent of his Bvlgari Pour Homme Soir making her shiver, his proximity making every nerve ending stand at high alert.

 “Good evening, love.”

 He leaned down and placed a gentle kiss to her neck, one she moaned into, one that made her legs feel like jelly and her toes curl in her shoes. She turned to look up at him, blown away by how delectable he looked in the dark blue suit he’d donned for the evening. He was gorgeous, this man of hers, all dimples and silver streaks, scruff and toned arms.

 “Robin,” she murmured, smiling as he sat in the seat across from hers. He took her hand in his own, kissing her knuckles, discreetly nipping one finger the way he knew that she liked. “So where have you been hiding?”

 “In the bathroom,” he returned with a grin. “I had actually just gotten changed when I heard you come in.”

 “Good timing,” she mused, casting another appreciative look at his attire. “I should probably go change myself. I feel underdressed compared to you.”

 “No need. You look perfect,” he hummed, her skin vibrating under his words. “You always look perfect, especially when you’re undressed.”

 She rolled her eyes at his play on words.

 “I don’t think that would be appropriate for the occasion, seeing that we have an audience.”

 Roland giggled from the kitchen, earning himself an exaggerated shhhhh from Henry.

 “Shame,” he returned, planting a soft kiss on the top of her hand. “I should have requested a private table.”

 She opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out. She just sat there, looking into blue eyes that were staring at her as if she were the Crown Jewels and they a pair of renegade thieves preparing to seize her on the spot.

 “Shall I pour you some wine?”

 Marco had stealthily made his way to their table and stood there watching them with a ridiculous grin on his face. He held a bottle of her favorite Malbec towards them for their perusal, popping it open with a corkscrew he’d hidden in his inner suit pocket with a flourish.  Her heart sped around the room in twenty directions at once, and she sucked in air, feeling warm in some places and chilled in others. She watched Robin as the older man poured the wine, pressing this moment into memory, her gaze honing in on the bare ring finger on her lover’s left hand.

 Oh, God. This was it. He was really going to propose tonight.  She swallowed, picking up her wine glass as she attempted to steady her breathing.

 “To us,” he said, raising his glass in her direction. His voice wrapped around her intimately, like broken-in leather caressing bare skin.

 “To us,” she echoed, taking a sip, closing her eyes as warmth slid down her throat and blossomed in her belly. Her chest ached, her head felt heavy, and she took another sip of wine, hoping it would help settle her racing heart, feeling her cheeks overheat instead. Roland chose that moment to lay a basket of breadsticks on the table, giggling again as he walked away and Henry set down a plate of caprese.

 “This is nice,” she managed, shivering in spite of the warmth when he licked his lips.

 “It is,” Robin replied, setting down his wine glass. “Pretty perfect, if you ask me.”

 She smiled at this, picking up a breadstick, hearing her stomach beg loudly enough for all of Boston to hear as the aroma tickled her nose.

 “Our best dates always seem to start with your stomach making noises,” he teased, reaching out to take a breadstick for himself. She paused mid-bite before chewing, swallowing and taking a drink of water.

 “Then it’s a good thing you own a restaurant,” she shot back. His chuckle made her feel giddy, girlish and lightheaded, and she reminded herself to breathe, to focus, to pay attention to details she’d want to recall later.

 “I agree,” he hummed. “Seeing as I might never have met you if I didn’t. And that would be a tragedy, indeed.”

 He looked into her, past every defense and barrier, stroking the silken threads of who she was, declaring volumes of adoration without uttering a word. His hand found hers again, and he stroked her fingers with his thumb, paying particular attention to her left ring finger as her breath hitched in her throat. She nearly jumped out of her seat.

 Yes. There was definitely going to be a proposal tonight.

 She was ready for this, she was certain of it. She loved Robin Locksley with the intensity of a category five tornado, a love so strong she’d once held it in reserve for Henry alone. But Robin and Roland had changed that, had shown her that love shared is love expanded, had helped her feel at home in her own body again, whether that body was out bowling with her favorite boys, washing dishes at the restaurant or wrapping itself around a spent, sweaty naked man who’d just pleasured her beyond reason. Her boys had helped her feel at peace with the heart that beat steadily in her chest, had assisted her in letting go of the last strands of guilt that had kept her from living the life Marian’s heart had granted her to its fullest.

 She would hold back no longer. No--she would seize this proposal with both hands, would set a date for a small, family wedding as soon as reasonably possible, and would ride her fiancé into the mattress tonight once their boys had gone to sleep.

 “God, you’re gorgeous.”

 The words crept up her arms and over her nipples before heading south to tickle her nether regions.

 “You’re not so bad yourself,” she breathed, closing her eyes as he continued to stroke her fingers with his thumb. “And I have to admit, I’m pretty impressed by this set-up.”

 He gave the room a once-over, nodding his approval.

 “As am I,” he agreed. “Our boys clean up pretty well, don’t they?”

 She chuckled under her breath and nodded before taking another bite of bread, its hot, buttery deliciousness only adding to the night’s perfection. Did he have the ring in his pocket, she wondered, or was he perhaps planning to have it served up on a plate in front of her at some point during the meal?  What sort of ring had he chosen, anyway?  Round? Oval? Marquis? Traditional or modern design? Gold, silver or platinum?

 Henry and Roland chose that moment to deliver salads, small plates of arugula, spinach, walnuts and pears accented by a vinaigrette of some sort that was profound in its simplicity. Christ, she loved how well Robin’s family could cook. She’d have to step up her time on the treadmill once they actually tied the knot.

 “This is delicious,” she remarked, gesturing towards the salad. Robin nodded as he took a sip of water.

 “One of August’s specialities,” Robin stated. “His own recipe, in fact, one he developed after completing that cooking class in Tuscany a couple of months ago. He’s actually as good a cook as Marco and Angelo and could open his own restaurant if he ever chose to do so. Just don’t tell the two of them that I said so.”

 She grinned before taking another bite of her salad.

 “It’s lovely being around men who can cook so well,” she said, taking a sip of wine to steady her nerves. “I could get used to this.”

 He bit his lower lip, shooting sparks of desire everywhere at once.

 “I hope you do,” he said, his eyes never leaving hers. “Because I could get used to a lifetime with you.”

 Oh, shit. This was it, she thought, nearly tipping over her wine glass as she sat up straighter.

 “Could you?” she managed, wondering if her pulse was actually audible.

 “Oh, yes,” he returned, leaning forward and reaching for her hand across the table. “I most certainly could. Could you?”

 She swallowed, nearly choking on her own saliva, and grabbed her water glass to try to stop coughing. Robin quickly stood and walked behind her, rubbing her back until she could breathe freely again.

 “I’m okay,” she managed, taking another gulp of water. “You didn’t have to get up.”

 “Self-preservation,” he retorted. “I was afraid you’d spit water on me.”

 Water then flew out of her nose as she tried to stifle a laugh, spewing over her beautiful salad, much to her chagrin.

 “Don’t worry, bella,” Marco called from the kitchen. “I’ll get you another.”

 The clank and clatter of dishes danced with the slowing rhythm of her coughs and their ebbing laughter as Robin continued to stroke her back until her breathing steadied.

 “There you go,” Marco announced as he set down a fresh plate of salad. “Good as new. Now, why don’t the two of you continue where you left off, eh?”

 She felt Robin’s fingers still against her spine just before he leaned down and dropped a kiss onto her temple.

 “I believe that requires privacy, Marco,” Robin replied.

 The older man tossed them an exaggerated wink before tiptoeing back to the kitchen and crying out, “You don’t see me. I’m not even here.”

 Robin moved back to his chair as she adjusted her napkin and checked her dress for water damage, dabbing at the few spots she found.

 “Damn it,” she whispered as she finally gave up and took another sip of wine. “I certainly know how to kill the mood, don’t I?”

 He was grinning at her like the proverbial Cheshire Cat, gazing at her with a mix of humor and tenderness that wrapped her securely in its coils upon contact.

 “You’re nothing if not moody,” he returned. “But I wouldn’t have you any other way.”

 Her heart sped up again as her internal temperature ramped up another ten degrees. Shit, she was sweating, a decidedly unromantic aesthetic just before the love of her life was about to pop the question.

 Or was he? Was she absolutely certain that was going to happen tonight?

 Perhaps she was reading this all wrong--the in-house restaurant, the tux-clad boys, the melodious crooning of Diana Krall in the background as he continued to stare at her as if she could do no wrong. Perhaps this was just a date, and she was setting herself up for one hell of a letdown. Christ, she needed to know, needed to ground her expectations in what was definite rather than what was desired, so she worked up her courage, trying to find the words she needed that would either hurry this proposal along or let her know that an engagement wasn’t in the cards tonight.

 She heard him swallow and inhaled, breathing out through her mouth as she dove in head first.

 “Robin--”

“Regina--”

 They spoke simultaneously, chuckling in time with each other.

 “I just wanted--”

“I was wondering--”

 They paused again, mouths open, eyes curious and confused.

 “Please,” Robin said. “Go ahead.”

 “No,” Regina returned, shaking her head. “You first. I insist.”

 He cleared his throat and took a sip of water, his actions prompting her to sit taller as anticipation tickled her skin. His exhale tugged her forward, towards him, towards a future, towards the family she’d always wanted and finally had.

 “I was just going to tell you that I’m very impressed with what you’ve put together tonight,” he began, gesturing around the room to emphasize his point. “This took some serious time and effort, and I’m beyond honored that you went to all this trouble for me.”

 Wait. What?

 “Excuse me?” she whispered, certain she hadn’t heard him correctly.

 “Thank you,” he grinned, reaching out to stroke her arm. “For this. For being willing to take a chance on this oaf of a restaurateur and for bringing light back into my soul and life.” She breathed in and out, thinking yes--she had misheard what he’d said earlier, or perhaps he’d just misspoken. After all, if he was about to propose, he was bound to be nervous. But then he took a sip of water and said the last thing she expected to hear.

 “Whatever else you have planned for the evening, I want you to know that I’m absolutely game.”

 Her insides froze as her mind ran three steps ahead of her, realizing that she hadn’t misunderstood what he’d said moments before.

 “What I put together?” she repeated, staring at him in utter confusion. “Robin, I didn’t do this. I thought you did.” His mouth fell open, and he blinked repeatedly. “Didn’t you have Mary Margaret occupy me all afternoon so you could set this up?”

 “No,” he answered, looking just as baffled by her revelation as she was by his. “Frank kept me busy all day working on a never-ending list of minor repairs to the restaurant. Then he told me you’d called and that it was time for me to pick up Roland at your place, so I showered and came right over, although he insisted that I park around back for some reason.”

 “Pick up Roland?” Regina repeated. “I thought you took the boys to the football game this afternoon.”

 “What football game?” Robin asked, looking genuinely perplexed. “I was under the impression that you’d taken them out to the movies. At least, that’s what your text said.” He proceeded to take out his cell phone and pull up the text message in question to show her.

 “I didn’t send that,” she said, wondering what in God’s name was going on here as she stared at a text she didn’t write. “But I did get one from you asking if Henry could join you and Roland for today’s game.” She paused, taking another drink of wine, wondering just how she’d emptied her glass so quickly as her evening spun out of control around her. “I thought you were…”

 She stopped, biting her lower lip before her heart toppled out of her mouth and onto the table between them, mortification tasting bitter on her tongue.

 “What?” he questioned, leaning forward to take her hand. “What did you think, Regina?”

 She inhaled sharply, fighting duelling urges to cry and crawl under the table.

 “Nothing,” she lied, trying her best to swallow. “I was being stupid, and…”

 “You’re not stupid, sweetheart.”

 “You don’t know that, Robin!”

 “I do know that, Regina, you’re one of the smartest people…”

 “I’m being ridiculous tonight--Shit! I’m sorry. I need to shut up before I ruin--”

 “Did you think I was going to propose?”

 Her breath caught in her throat, the room spiraling around her like an off-balance crazy house. Dizziness seized her as he spoke what she’d tried so desperately to hide, and her lungs constricted, making breathing next to impossible.

 “Because it’s alright if you did,” he continued, his voice taking on the texture of honey as he began to stroke her fingers as he’d been doing earlier. “I actually thought you were about to ask me.”

 Her eyes rounded, her mouth gaping open as words played hard to get.

 “You did?”  she asked, feeling decidedly hot all over. “You thought I was going to propose?”

 “I did,” he replied, stroking her ring finger purposefully. “I mean, it’s the logical conclusion when you take in all of the factors, don’t you think?”  He paused, watching her closely until she nodded slowly. “The in-house restaurant, being kept out all day...I can see why you would have thought the same thing.”

 “You can?”

 The words fluttered off of her tongue, weightless yet full of feeling.

 “I can,” he assured her. He stared into her again, licking his lips as his voice dropped half an octave. “And if you had proposed, I would have said yes, you know.”

 Her heart stopped as everything around her blurred into oblivion except for the man across from her.

 “You would have?” she questioned, her heart pounding relentlessly in her temples.

 “Yes,” he returned, his voice as intimate as a caress. “I would.”

 Her ribs expanded, her heart nearly exploding out of her chest as the reality of what he’d just said began to sink in.

 “So would I,” she whispered as a tear broke free and trickled down her cheek. He reached out to wipe it away with his thumb, his smile so broad she felt embraced by it. “I would have said yes, too.”

 He swallowed down emotion she could sense from across the table as he blinked back tears of his own.

 “So if you would and I would,” he began. “Then why don’t we?”

 She gaped at him, trying to speak, wanting to nod, attempting to do anything besides sit in dumb confusion as she was currently doing. She cleared her throat, moving her lips in silence before her tongue finally caught up.

 “Why don’t we?” she echoed, melting from head to toe at the broad smile that covered his face.

“Robin--is this…?”

 “It is if you want it to be,” he interrupted, caressing her knuckles with his thumb. “If you’re ready to make this forever. Are you, Regina?”

 Oh, God. Forever. Yes--yes, she was definitely ready for a forever with this man and their boys. She was nodding as an array of tears fell down her cheeks, smiling as the word Yes danced up from her heart and tickled her tongue, ready to leap towards the man she loved just before a whisper out of nowhere cut her off.

 “Do it, Dad! Do it!”

 Decidedly boyish giggles then erupted from the direction of the couch.

 “Shhhhh!” an older voice cut in, one she recognized instantly as Henry’s. “Don’t ruin it!”  

 “I’m not ruining anything,” Roland whispered back, pausing as he seemed to realize that he’d been overheard by the adults. “Uh oh.”

 She held back a laugh, nearly choking on it as Robin stifled a chuckle. He cleared his throat yet again, entwining her fingers with his own.

 “Do you think that perhaps we’ve been set up?” he mused, his eyes wandering from her to the sofa behind which their sons were obviously attempting to hide.

 “I think the possibility is very strong,” she answered, doing her best to stifle another laugh as Roland whispered We’re busted.  “You might as well come out,” Regina added, leaning back in her seat. “We know you’re there, boys.”

 “I told you to be quiet,” Henry hissed just before two heads peered out from behind the top of the couch.

 “I was being quiet!” Roland insisted as they puttered out from behind their fortress, their heads hanging low, their faces as obvious as a neon sign. “I only whispered, Henry.”

 Henry rolled his eyes at the younger boy’s logic, daring to look at his mom for a second before dropping his eyes to his shoes.

 “So boys,” Robin began, leaning back in his seat and studying them. “Are you two responsible for putting this dinner together tonight?”

 Henry and Roland looked at each other before each of them nodded slowly, refusing to make eye contact with either of their parents.

 “And were you also responsible for sending misleading texts both to me and to Regina to keep us busy and away from her house today?”

 Roland sighed heavily as they nodded again, only to be interrupted by August who’d strolled into the room from the kitchen.

 “Henry texted you,” the other man said. “But I sent the one to Regina about the football game. I didn’t quite trust Roland’s spelling skills.”

 “Football is hard to spell,” Roland admitted with a shrug. “So is stadium.”

 Regina’s lips trembled as she fought down a smile, reaching for her wine glass before she remembered that it was empty.

 “I see,” Robin murmured, raising a brow towards his cousin. “And was this your idea, August, or did you send that text at Roland’s request?”

 “He didn’t have to twist my arm or anything,” August admitted with a shrug. “But it wasn’t my idea.”

 Robin’s eyes locked with Regina’s, the spark of amusement that was obvious to her somehow lost on their boys who looked as if they were about to attend their own funeral.

 “And why did you think it necessary to mislead us as you did?” Robin continued. “Couldn’t you have just asked us if you wanted us to attend such an elegant evening? ”

 The boys couldn’t look guiltier if they tried, and they stared at each other before turning their gazes back to their parents. Henry looked like a convicted felon, Roland like a whipped puppy.

 “We didn’t mean to lie,” Henry said, swallowing hard. “We actually wanted to do something nice for you two, something special.”

 “This is very nice,” Robin agreed. “But why all the secrecy?”

 Roland huffed as loudly as the big, bad wolf, squaring his shoulders as he decided to bite the bullet.

 “Because we wanted you to propose.”

 Regina’s eyebrows shot up as the smile lines creased further around Robin’s eyes.

 “You wanted me to propose to Regina?” he asked, leaning forward towards his son.

 “Yeah,” Roland admitted. “Or for her to propose to you. It didn’t matter--just as long as you two got engaged.”

 She inhaled sharply, wishing for another glass of wine with all she had.

 “You want us to get married?” she questioned, her eyes moving from Roland to Henry. Her son finally lifted his gaze to her own, and he grinned, making her heart leap into her throat as he nodded.

 “We do,” Henry replied, looking from his mom to Robin then back again. “We want to be a real family, official and all.”

 Her cheeks were wet, and she dabbed at them with her napkin.

 “You, too, Roland?” Robin asked, smiling as the younger boy nodded back.

 “I don’t remember my mom,” Roland admitted as he took a step towards the table, those baby browns of his melting her heart like warm wax. “And Henry’s never had a dad.”

 “So it works out well for all of us if you two get married,” Henry cut in, moving in closer. “Roland gets a mom…”

 “Henry gets a dad, I get a brother,” Roland jumped in, walking right up to the table, feeling bolder by the second. “And you two can stop worrying about who's staying over where at night and stuff.”

 Her heart was thudding again, two words amidst many drumming out a steady tattoo in her chest.

 “You want me to be your mom?” she asked, staring at Roland as he beamed back at her, dimples and all.

 “Yeah!” Roland answered, practically hopping into her lap. “You’re great at being a mom, and we even kind of look alike. I think we’d make a great team--don’t you?”

 “Yes,” she answered, the word tumbling out of her like a petal caught up in a waterfall. “I think we make a great team.”

 She laughed as tears fell freely, and she kissed curls that had been gelled and combed as small arms wrapped themselves around her neck. But Robin sat dumbstruck, finally standing up and moving towards Henry.

 “You’d really like me to be your dad?”

 The words were whispered and rough around the edges, tinged with emotion so deep she felt it from where she sat. Henry looked up at him before staring at her, silently seeking her permission, receiving it with a smile.

 “I would,” Henry said, turning his focus back to Robin. “If you wouldn’t mind having me as a son.”

 Robin turned towards her, his eyes wet, his expression one of awe.

 “Mind?” he repeated, shaking his head. “Of course I wouldn’t mind. I’d be honored to be your dad, Henry. If it’s okay with your mother, that is.”

 All three males looked directly at her at once, and she felt the stares of Alonzo, Marco and August watching them in expectation.

 “It is,” she said, smiling so broadly her cheeks began to ache. “You’re right, Henry. Robin is a great dad.”

 “So does that mean you’ll marry us?” Roland asked, hopping off her lap in excitement. “Please, Regina. Marry me and my dad!” Henry was nodding in her direction, trying his best to coax her along.

 “I will,” she answered, cutting her gaze to the man still standing beside her son. “If your dad asks me, that is.”

 Henry inclined his head towards Regina, gesturing Robin in her direction as Roland jumped up and down before grabbing Robin’s hand and practically pulling him down to the floor.

 “You’re supposed to kneel down, Dad,” the boy insisted. “Jeesh! Don’t you know anything about proposing?”

 Robin bit his lower lip to contain his amusement as Henry pushed the man closer to her from behind. He scooted toward her on the carpet and took her hand within his own, looking up at her with those blue eyes of his that never ceased to make her knees go weak.

 “Regina Mills,” Robin began, stroking her ring finger as he held her gaze. “I don’t lead the most orderly of lives, as you well know. My house tends to be messy, and my family is always in our business.”  He paused, tossing a glance towards the kitchen where Alonzo and Marco waved him on as Roland whispered, “Get on with it, Dad!”

 “But it’s my life, and it’s one I want to share with the most amazing, intelligent, compassionate and gorgeous woman I know,” he continued, aiming his eyes in her direction and hitting the bullseye. “I love you, Regina. Would you do me the honor of being my wife?”

 Her insides burst into an array of fireworks, making everything tingle at the same time.

 “I will,” she answered, cut off from any further words by a pair of insistent lips upon her own. She tugged him closer, wrapping her arms around his neck, burying her fingers into his hair, chuckling into his mouth as applause broke out around them and Roland uttered  Ewwwww. They drew back from each other, all touching noses and damp cheeks, reluctant to let go until Henry interrupted.

 “Now’s when you give her the ring.”

 She sat back at that, shaking her head.

 “Robin doesn’t have a ring yet,” she explained, watching Henry’s brow crease in confusion. “Because he wasn’t planning on proposing tonight. This was your doing--remember?”  

 “Regina,” Robin said, “I--”

 “It’s alright,” she cut in. “I don’t expect one right now, and there’s no rush. Having a ring doesn’t make us any more or less engaged.”

 Her finger felt barer than it ever had, oddly enough, but Robin would remedy that soon enough.

 “Can we go ring shopping with you?” Roland asked. “I want to make sure you get Gina a good ring, Dad, one that shines and sparkles and costs a lot of money. That’s what Uncle Frank says women want.”

 “You discussed engagement rings with Uncle Frank?” Robin asked. “Dare I ask what else he had to say on the subject?”

 “Only that it's’ all about the rock,” Roland said. “That you’d better give her at least a carat or you won’t be getting any for a while, whatever that means.”

 “You asked,” Regina stated as Robin grimaced and rubbed a hand over his beard, chuckling as Frank’s voice cried out Thanks a lot, Roland! from the back of the house. They stared in that direction, shaking their heads in amusement as Frank, Mary Margaret, David holding Baby Neal and Belle toting Gideon slowly came into view.

 “Why am I not surprised?” Robin questioned, looking back at her with blatant adoration. “We can’t do anything without an audience, it would seem.”

 “I hope to God there are some things you do without an audience,” Frank tossed back, getting a sound whack from Mary Margaret on the arm.

 “You know, maybe I should have consulted with you, Frank, before I purchased this,” Robin continued, turning his full attention back on Regina. “Seeing as you’re the expert, according to Roland, but I’m hoping Regina likes it, whether you had a hand in picking it out or not.”

 One hand reached into his pocket as the other held her left hand before releasing it to open a small box, one that held a simple yet elegant ring that took her breath away. It was an oval set in a platinum band, with two small rubies on either side of it, neither pretentious nor too understated, just absolutely perfect.

 “Oh my God,” she breathed, watching in fascination as he slid it onto her finger. “Robin! When did you... how did…”

 “I bought it a month ago,” he admitted. “Had it stashed in my bedroom, waiting for just the right time to ask you. Somehow…” he paused, tossing a pointed glance towards the kitchen. “The box ended up in my suit pocket tonight, the suit I’m assuming August picked out and had delivered here for me to change into this evening.”

 August shrugged good-naturedly, grinning from ear to ear as Belle moved to his side and Gideon flew into his arms from his mother’s.

 “I actually wondered if Roland had found it and tipped you off when I first got here and saw the setup,” Robin continued. “If perhaps you’d arranged for it to be in my pocket so the stage would be set.”

 “You mean when you thought I was planning to propose?” she questioned. “Oh my God, do you really think I’m that devious?”

 “I’m counting on it,” he hummed, kissing the top of her hand. “I had this ring designed for you, Regina,” he continued, his tone now soft and private. “The rubies--they represent our hearts, you know. Two hearts brought together by the most unusual of circumstances, still managing to create something beautiful out of years of pain.”

 Words deserted her again as she stared at the ring, holding her hand up so it caught the light and sparkled, feeling her heart reach out to the man to which it had always belonged.

 “It’s perfect,” she breathed, cupping the sides of his face as she swallowed. “And I love you. So very much.”

 He leaned in and gently kissed her pulse point, her eyes closing upon contact as one of his hands dropped to her rib cage just over where the heart that had once been Marian’s pulsed steady and strong.

 “I love you, too,” he muttered. “With all of my heart.”

 She laughed just before he kissed her again, startled when he practically fell into her as Roland and Henry tackle-hugged him from behind. She leaned back abruptly, touching her lip, fairly certain it had been cut as she picked up her napkin at dabbed at it.

 “Are you bleeding?” he asked, reaching out to her as he tried to unsuccessfully shake off the boys.

 “Barely,” she answered. “You?”

 He grinned, shaking his head.

 “No. And my nose made it out unscathed, as well.”

 She cackled, remembering how she’d practically broken his nose the night they’d met, feeling that somehow a split lip was actually a good sign on this crazy road they’d been travelling. Everyone gathered around them then, wine glasses in hand as Marco topped off hers and Robin’s, and they rose to their feet, moving into a circle of family she’d craved all her life. She had a son, a son-in-waiting, a fiancé, a father-in-law to be, friends, cousins...God, life had been good to her, and she was more thankful than ever for the scar on her chest, feeling it tingle as Robin’s arm slid around her waist and drew her close.

 “To us,” Robin said, raising his class in her direction before extending it towards everyone else. “And to family.”

 “To Regina and Robin,” Alonzo echoed as everyone raised their glass. “And family.”

 They drank, and she took it all in, laughing as Marco confessed they actually had trays of lasagna for everyone just in case the night turned into an engagement party, feeling loved and fully accepted as each member of Robin’s family and her own hugged her in turn and offered their congratulations.

 “God, I’m surrounded by men,” she mused later as Robin fed her a bite of chocolate cake topped with dark chocolate ganache, so delightfully decadent it made her moan. He chuckled, gazing around the room at Alonzo and Marco, at August and Frank, at Henry, Roland, David, Neal and Gideon and nodded his agreement.

 “Face it,” he whispered, stroking the side of her face. “You’re outnumbered, and there’s nothing you can do about it.”

 She chuckled as she chased down chocolate with wine, leaning into him fully as they sat on the sofa while others danced and chatted.

 “I wouldn’t be so sure,” she grinned, taking a deep breath. “After all, we could always adopt a little girl.”

 He paused then, eyeballing her before smiling from ear to ear and placing a soft kiss to her temple.

 “That we could,” he returned. “And I’m certainly game.” He then claimed her mouth fully, sealing the deal and their lives together before she could get another word in edgewise.

I’m in the worst mood ever! Good (?) news for you guys though, cause I need an outlet for my rage so prepare yourselves for.. another profanity filled Union update! Keeping it real and fresh as always, aka what Komei has been doing to the litter 24/7 since our lot can barely contain all the cat shit we’re drowning in. We’re halfway thru completing Komei’s lifetime want, 3 cats at the top of their careers out of 6, and it’s only taken a literal lifetime.

So the situation in the house continues to bear an unsettling resemblance to the last days of the Roman Empire. No wonder these cats can’t get promoted when they’re too busy trying to avoid getting killed by Visigoth Victor. We have Victor vs Ronron...

Victor vs Neo..

Victor vs Alegra..

..and Victor vs Roux! I’m starting to suspect that Victor may be the problem here.

☕

Meanwhile Victoria and Komei are having the time of their lives watching the bloodshed! Last time I saw either of them so happy was when they were cheating on each other. Bread and circuses indeed.

One small glimmer of hope appears when Roux gets this insane bonus and then immediately gets promoted!

I’m all like YAAAAS BITCH SLAY, 4/6!!! and then NOT 2 FUCKING SECONDS LATER:

..............

.........................

...................................FUCK. ME.

How many times is it now that Neo has gotten fired, cause I’ve literally lost count. Imagine if he wasn’t the ~genius one. Way to disgrace your mother’s name!

I’m so upset by Neo’s fuckery that I take Melody and Gunther out clubbing in the middle of the day to feel better. Ah, so cute ❤

SO. CUTE.  ❤

PERFECTION ❤

Unfortunately our milf past is back to haunt us.

-Ooooh, hey there, jaibait ;) Look at your girl. Then back at me-

GODDAMMIT GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE BRANDI LETOURNEAU. IS THERE ONE NON-PREDATORY ADULT WOMAN IN THIS TOWN

We run into the Count, and Melody has the honor of being introduced to one of Victoria’s lovers, an important rite of passage for anyone marrying into this family. Congrats, Melody! Let’s ignore Daniel’s first kiss, Lakshmi, who seizes the opportunity of Melody turning her back to discreetly merge herself with Gunther, and then spends the rest of her stay furiously heartfarting over him. Jfc Gunther, what do you do, roll around in honey?

-It’s Axe bodyspray ;)

Ugh fuckboi. You better not cheat on Melody, you hear???

I MEAN SHE GAVE US A FUCKING ELECTROSPHERE AS A DATE PRESENT. Thank you Melody! Finally the litterboxes get the lighting extravaganza they deserve.

AND VICTORIA TOPS HER CAREER. TIME TO RETIRE AND LOUNGE AROUND FOREVER ❤

When I tell you guys that Komei wants to bankrupt us I’m not kidding. Ever the practical spirit, the moment we have some extra cash he starts rolling wants to buy $2k stereos and $5k games. GROW UP

This night is a mixed bag, on one hand Vic topped her career, on the other Gunther got fucking arrested while sneaking out with Mel. Thankfully his parents could not give less of a fuck even though both were awake when Dorian diligently returned him.

-This will teach you to walk around with that glorious mane, leaving no woman for us hair-challenged adults, brat! Stay within your age group!

Looking amazing painting in your hot dog uniform!

-Melody forced me to wear it so no one would hit on me..

Melody knows what’s up.

-God, being monogamous for two entire days sure is tough. My mind is racing with all the hot dog pick up lines I could use..

You’re really too young for me to castrate you, so better just try and channel those frustrations into your art.

-I don't need no drama, I just need some nana, just told my lil' mama, ‘babe, I think I love you, kinda’ ♪

WRONG ART FORM. GOD. Get it together Gunther, cause if you fuck things up with Mel it won’t end well. For you.

-So Gunther, the other day I was thinking of some professions that would be more realistic than your dream of becoming a legendary artist.. Kid’s party magician popped in mind.

-Ugh, don’t listen to him, Gunther, you can’t abandon your dream! I mean look at your father, he had a dream to see 6 pets top their career.. and 40 years later.. he’s still nowhere near achieving it! HAHA. What a fucking loser you are, dear. God, I can’t believe I married you, what the fuck was I thinking. All I got was stretchmarks and two decades of sleeping next to the overwhelming aroma of cat excrement. In conclusion, Gunther, you and your brothers were giant mistakes.. What were we talking about again?

Yea, seems about right. Komei is, once again, on the verge of aspiration failure, which you know, when is he not. He finally does roll one want I can complete tho..

Cooking competition! I cannot stress enough how much I ignore anything Free Time related, like I’ve been playing this game since I was 10 and I only discovered that special hobby lots exist last year. So yea, this is a first for both me and Komei, but we’re in this together! We submit our specialty, cat hair covered chili..

The competition is fierce. Thank god Komei’s loving family has come along to support him!

-Why are we here again?

-Some of your father’s cat beauty pageant shit or something, who cares.. STOP MOVING YOUR HANDS SO FAST

LOL look at these anxious flops. Our Komei is cool as a cucumber tho! Wtf is a professional chef doing here?? This feels very unfair, they should be in a league of their own. If we lose to her I’m gonna appeal and then burn this place to the ground.

And we’re up first! Is the judge gonna appreciate our secret ingredients of cat hair and saliva???

YAS. A very promising reaction!

LMAO professional chef flops! Bet she didn’t have a trace of pet dna in that cake!

I can’t quite decode this expression, but I think it signifies expectations not being met. FLOP

Yea mte, blondie. Who tf enters salad into a cooking competition? A non-starter if there ever was one!

WE WIN AND WE HAVE THE DICK STICKER TO PROVE IT. GET IT KOMES

I don't know what you heard about me, but a bitch can't get a dollar outta me ♪

No Cadillac, no perms, you can't see, that I'm a motherfuckin' P.I.M.P. ♪

Congrats, Komei! How lucky you are to have your family share in this moment of triumph! 

-You won’t believe this mom, but Neo got fired AGAIN

-LOLOL. Wait, why do I have a feeling we’re supposed to be doing something else right now?

-Is it playing more red hands?

-Yes!

We return home, where og weeaboo Tom Cruise/Last Samurai graces us with his presence! Looking good, Tom. Meanwhile Vic has an emotional moment in the rain contemplating the artistic merit of the flamingos. Idk why both she and Komei have become obsessed with them ever since they aged up but it’s pretty depressing. And then, as Komei is soundly asleep, the unthinkable happens...

SIMULTANEOUS FUCKING PROMOTIONS. I wish I had something more eloquent to say about this but the best I can muster is FUCKING. BYE. THE FUCK. I DID IT.

THE NIGHTMARE IS OVER. IT’LL BE A COLD DAY IN HELL IF WE TRAIN A CAT AGAIN IN THE NEXT 9 GENERATIONS. NEVER AGAIN.

AND WE’RE FINALLY OFF TO COLLEGE. GOD. Melody comes over on her own and we have this dramatic moment of Gunther ~passing her by, off to join his brothers at La Fiesta Tech. And to slut it up. Or is he??? I legit don’t know yet, but find out next time in The Unions: College is a Scam.

Where can I get car hire insurance for USA?

I have been looking everywhere for car hire insurance also known as excess insurance. I can't find anywhere for a 20 year old, I'm 19 now but on our holiday I will be 20 years old. Fox car hire charge nearly $900 for the CDW and recovery fee. E-Z Rent a car will supply a car to an 18 year old but will not supply CDW. Fox have awful reviews so I didn't want to be forced to rent with them. So I figured if I got car rental insurance or excess insurance i could rent with E-Z or rent with fox but not have the CDW totalling up my bill. The annual polices for the excess insurance are around $100 I would happily pay $200 because of my age. I'm also from england not USA but would be renting in USA (Orlando to be particulate).

I may never reach the deductible, but still have to pay the premium. So should I just pay out of pocket when I do need to go to the doctor and just consider getting a high deductible plan or should I just go ahead and pay a higher monthly premium for a lower deductible.

Should I notify my car insurance company if I paid for the fix myself?

I had a minor car accident in a Costco parking lot last weekend. I was backing out my parking lot; the other guy was also backing out. Unfortunately, we didn't see each other... Anyway, this seems to be a 50-50 accident. The damage to the cars are moderate and we agreed on just fixing ourselves. So no personal information was exchanged. I got an estimate today. The cost for fixing my car is not cheap but still lower than the minimal requirement for accident reporting in California. It is also lower than my insurance deductible. So I plan neither to report to DMV nor to file a claim. But one friend of mine suggested that in this case, I should still notify (but not to file a claim to) my insurance company. His argument is that the other party can still come back and sue me (if he is a freak). While we didn't exchange information, the other party may have remembered my license plate number so theoretically he could find out all other information about me. But I am not sure if notifying the insurance company will affect my premiums. What do you think?""

Obviously I can't be picky, but all I ask is for the best deal at the lowest price. Not sure if these influence the price ranges or not, but here are some basics that may be of assistance: Female, 20. Toyota Yaris '09 wet-and-wreckless infraction, over a year ago.

A question about car insurance?

I currently live in Minnesota, where the price for my auto insurance is around $910/6 months for the most basic insurance required by law, which is 30/60/10. In August, I am moving to North Dakota. I wanted to change my insurance to my North Dakota address, since their requirements are 25/50/25, and will cost me only half of what I am paying now. So my question is, do I have to change anything? Do I have to change my legal home address to North Dakota and get a North Dakota address, or can I keep my Minnesota address and license? I'll honestly do anything it takes, since I will be living in ND for four years and will probably end up making that my legal home eventually anyways, I just need to know if there is anything I need to do immediately so my car insurance is legal.""

Is $7000/ year a lot for health insurance?

How can I make sure the Insurance company declares my car totaled if it received enough damage?

My boyfriend fell asleep while driving and damaged my car pretty badly. It got towed because it is not drivable at this point. This happened on Friday morning, and today, Monday, I got a call from my insurance asking me to find a mechanic for the repairs. Then he followed by asking if I knew where the car was. Isnt he supposed to get an estimate of the car before he decides if its worth any repairs? Or is that my job? Also, Im afraid that the mechanic will just fix the car to please the insurance company, but Id rather the car just get totaled. I dont want to have future problems because it is my understanding that the transmission got pulled out. Im not sure what to do. Im thinking of just choosing the dealerships collision department for the repairs. How do I make sure that if the car has too much damage, it is declared totaled?""

Best insurance company to work for?

I live in Southern California, I have been looking for work since I moved here from France. I posted a general sales resume on careerbuilder.com and have since been spammed by insurance agencies. Some have been good companies like State Farm and Farmers. Some have been less, like Colonial Life and Axa advisers. I believe Axa wanted me for a commissioned investment broker position. I didn't pass the personality test for State Farm, but I can try again in a year. I will have a strategy and research next time. State Farm has 9 month paid training, a huge signing bonus at the end and would be an excellent opportunity but it isn't for right now. What I did learn through all of this, especially from Colonial Life is that the insurance licenses aren't that hard or expensive to get. I'm thinking of getting life, health and auto. Does any one know of companies that have non-independent, salaried agents? I would like a commission, but not the 100% commission based model of Colonial or Axa. I also don't want to cold-call or drop off 180 envelops a week like Colonial demands. I don't want to be independent for the moment, although that is possible in the future with a good company like Farmers or State Farm. Right now I could work as a salaried sales person through an independent agent or direct hire. What is the best way to get on-board?""

But the downside to this is that the excess fee to any claim is 3,000.
