also one last uni post. maybe a little gripe. finally taking 2nd cour digital art after 3 semesters and instead of being Adobe Illustrator™ class with a sprinkle of photoshop (actually i will give her one point. for one illustrator project she did have us use audacity for a portion and taught us how to corrupt wav files into still imgs) it is now Adobe CC™ class with zero illustrator, more photoshop, and an app-exclusive drawing program only available thru CC (she has lost the one point indefinitely.) the only silver lining is premiere pro is the other software being taught which i would love to learn to do more with. on the other hand. the student examples she skimmed thru to show off the PP project were not inspiring and i feel like if i have to incorporate video aspects into my art it is quickly going to become more abt checking off rubric boxes to get a decent grade instead of doing smth i want
#ctag#SIGHHHH long post it will not be the last abt da this year#last time i was in da1 i did not finish a single project#they were completed in a sense that they looked good n got me an a+ in the course#but 100% def not as far as i wanted to go w any of them#and that made me hate it all at the end of the semester#but this is my one art class and i have one other class w lab and another 1 credit hr#so i am hoping that i can devote more time and make work i am proud of#and that it won't be jus 'doing this for class' constantly#waiting for first project info before making any hard decisions but if research#is required as an aspect and all the works thru the semester have to theme then#i rly want to try and make it a scenery yr bc when i did that for printmaking i did copious amnts of research+concepts#bc i took a sinnoh location each time n found the hokkaido basis and local flora etc to recreate#an illustration reminiscent of what the pkmn location would look like in the real world#and i could totally get away w that again plus it would be so much fun#anyway i have things to do but tldr is da class is once again adobe-centric which i hate and loathe#what if i went off the rails and taught myself pixel art and say i did it in photoshop#would she buy it like. does ps have those capabilities#it is not a graphics designers job to be proficient in adobe cc#i rly wish she would understand that bc this is the only class in the program that pushes adobe and nothing else#what applicable skills am i going to take from this class if i never use an adobe product again?#digital art has the potential to be so generic and yet here she is. ruining it.#(also LMAOOO i jus remembered she had a clause in the syllabus abt not using other#third-party software that wasn't adobe for any class work like WHAT#specifically she said 'hey we're learning pp and not final cut or sony vegas so don't use those ever'#which like is REALLY hammering the skills-not-applicable-to-non-adobe-products nail#also wtf i would love to learn sony vegas. i already decently know premiere teach me something else#100% i will be using a non-adobe program to work on a project jus to spite her)

HIGH SCHOOL!SUKUNA x F!READER
thinking about bad boy itadori sukuna who all the kids at school try to steer clear from because they know he’s bad news and if you get involved with him then you’re bound to be tied with bad luck for as long as he lives. well, that is everyone except for the president of the student council who so happens to be his childhood best friend turned lover.
this is mostly written for my own self indulgence and to project my fantasies of having a boyfriend onto sukuna but feel free to treat this as any other headcanon! ps i am pretty sure canon sukuna would kill a baby at any given situation, but this is going to be a revamped version of sukuna written by yours truly ;) and its a high school au so sukuna won’t be a complete menace to society and will actually have a heart heh
also i didn’t realize how long this was going to be??? this is kind of all over place too because i just wanted to throw all of my thoughts onto this post so there might be some plot holes in this LOL
i feel like sukuna would be the type of bad boy who isn’t necessarily a bad boy but everyone at school just paints him as some kind of delinquent because of all the tattoos and piercings he has.
he actually shows up to school more often than you think he would (but that’s only because you’re in most of his classes so long story short: you’re his only motivation for attending class)
“forgets” to bring his work books to class more than usual (in reality he does this on purpose so he has an excuse to be near you) so he requests to sit next to you the entire class period so he can share with you for the meantime but whenever the teachers not looking he’ll go back to admiring your face.
his older twin brother, itadori yuji, is very fond of you since you three grew up together and you both had your chances of being a victim to his antics!
exhibit a: in middle school when you and yuji were watching tv together, the show you two were watching would keep switching to some wrestling match broadcasting on a sports channel and no matter how many times you turned the tv on and off, it just would not stop. but it wasn’t until you heard snickering from the kitchen that you realized sukuna had a spare remote and was the mastermind behind the whole thing.
exhibit b: sukuna and yuji’s mom was the owner of a bakery so every now and then she would have either one of the twins come deliver freshly baked pastries to your household! oh how wrong was she to trust her youngest. sukuna was now a freshman in high school, and by now you would’ve thought that sukuna would have grown out of his childish phase, but WRONG! sukuna was still a menace in your life even past childhood. so when you bit into one of the macaroons, instead of being hit with the overwhelming taste of [favorite flavor], all you could feel was the burning sensation of wasabi kicking into your tastebuds.
yeah after the whole wasabi macaroon freak accident, you stopped accepting everything sukuna offered to you and opted to only eating pastries out of the boxes that yuji delivered to you. (sukuna eventually caught onto this and was just TEENSY bit upset but he would rather down a whole tube of wasabi than to tell you upfront)
now, how did you two even end up dating??? oh boy now that is a story
you see, yours and sukuna’s dynamic growing up was similar to that of tom and jerry’s— you being jerry and sukuna being 10x worse than tom of course
but it wasn’t until a confession after school behind the cherry blossom tree that was known for bringing good luck to successful confessions that sukuna finally realized that maybe he really did like you just a little lot bit
sukuna overheard the boy who was planning on confessing to you talking to his friend group about how “sweet and caring” you are (although sukuna could argue otherwise, you were a little brat. *LIKE HELLO?!&:&:& YOU WEREN’T THE ONE WHO ATE A MACAROON FILLED WASABI**) and obviously his ears perked up at the mention of your name. he grew up with you after all so naturally he would be interested in a conversation that revolved around you.
but then the boys started going on about how “you looked like an easy catch” and how “your body was bangin’!” yeah no, that’s where he drew the line. sure sukuna was an ass and talked shit about you most of the time (in his defense it wasn’t like he was doing it behind your back) but if he ever caught someone else talking about you like that then he would be sure to give them a hard time.
he hid behind one of the bushes near the cherry blossom tree while the boy was professing his love for you. funnily enough, for a moment sukuna forgot why he was originally there because he was too busy trying to stifle a laugh as he watched the boy stumble over his words.
“okay shows over” sukuna thought as the confession was reaching its conclusion, but just as he was about to step in and give the poor boy a piece of his mind, he stopped in his tracks when he heard you roaring with laughter.
“did you really think that i wouldn’t hear about what you and your friends said about me earlier? you’re really pathetic if you think any girl would be easy enough to fall to her knees for you because news flash! you’re a disgusting pig and you deserve to rot in hell for speaking about a girl’s worth like that.”
“it’s kind of sad too, i thought you were a nice boy and i probably would have given you a chance but it seems like you’re even worse than scum! damn it, to think there was somebody out there who’s even worse than sukuna.”
of course sukuna was not pleased to hear that last bit, but he did have a proud grin forming on his face as he watched the boy run away, flustered from your rejection and the embarrassment he was put through.
“sukuna i know you’re hiding behind the bush.”
“huh? i came here way before you got here, there’s no way you could have seen me.” he said as he stood up to his full height.
“well, your laughter isn’t exactly the quietest, plus i can spot that hair of yours from a mile away.”
lets just say, sukuna was glad you didn’t ask him what he was doing there because he wasn’t sure if he could spare the embarrassment of telling you that he was planning on ruining the confession.
after that whole fiasco happened, sukuna started to feel(!&:&::&) things
like he started to notice how you styled your hair differently one day and how you switched to a new perfume that smelled like spearmint (was that weird? for sukuna probably not. he just excuses it as being highly observant)
you weren’t dumb either, you had a feeling sukuna was there that day of the confession because he too had overheard the conversation between the boy and his friends as well (you knew he was prideful and if you brought it up then he probably would’ve denied it)
so from there on out it was just mutual pining at the point except... well.... not really??
i feel like it was just an unspoken agreement between you two that you guys were “together” but not “together together” because he started to treat you differently than he would before. like for example, he’d carry your bag for you whenever you guys would walk home (yuji was confused by this at first because if anything, it would have made more sense to see sukuna make you carry HIS bag, but he eventually caught on to sukuna’s feelings for you because they were twin brothers after all), he started walking you to class more often even though his class was all the way on the other side of the school (you asked him why but he just shrugged and said he was just “killing time” so that he wouldn’t have to go to class and then you ended up scolding him), and there was also that one time you miraculously found a $20 bill in your backpack after mentioning to sukuna that there was this cute top you saw at the mall the other day but didn’t have enough money at the time to purchase it (you asked him about this but he said it was probably yuji, but you didn’t want to pry any further since you wanted to cherish the fact that sukuna cared that much)
but eventually you got sick of this whole push and pull game that you physically had to tug the collar of his school uniform and pull him in for a kiss (he was visibly shocked at this because he never would’ve imagined you as the assertive type. not that he was complaining though)
“oya? didn’t think you liked me this much kitten.” he said laughing while you rolled your eyes.
“as if, i got tired of you being a wuss so one of us had to wear the pants in the relationship.” you snorted, causing him to irk.
to be honest, your relationship with him is smooth sailing because you both were pretty chill people and you didn’t have to worry about him sneaking behind your back to see other girls because 1. literally all the girls at school are terrified of him and 2. he knew what you were capable of doing to him if you were to ever catch him cheating on you so he wants to stay on your good side
jealous and possessive don’t exist in his dictionary because he is the epitome of those two words. remember what i said about how your relationship is smooth sailing? i kinda lied.
he’s easily jealous like for example: when you were in english class and the teacher had you guys jot down some notes, you realized you forgot to ask for your pencil back when you lent it to your friend last period.
so you asked sukuna to borrow a pencil but instead of giving you a pencil, he called you an idiot for being so forgetful.
this makes you mad so you turn to your male classmate since he was sitting on your opposite side and ask him for a pencil instead.
sukuna was practically fuming the entire class period and once the day ended and you two were back at your place, he made sure to mark you real good. (oh he also went out to buy a pack of mechanical pencils to sneak into your backpack so that next time you forget your pencils, you’ll have 10 extra pencils sitting in your backpack as backup)
he’s not a big fan of pda in public, but on the chances he will show some of it, the most he will do is wrap an arm around your shoulder or waist whenever some dude is trying to hit on you.
BUT IN PRIVATE? better buckle up because your in for a ride wink wink
really likes putting hickeys on you to a fault! but will never put any visible ones on your neck because he doesn’t want your parents to view him as some kind of animal (but he has nothing to worry about because your parents really like him and are grateful for the fact that he’s very loyal to you, and you guys grew up together so it’s only natural that your parents are accepting of him since they already know he has a good heart underneath that tough facade of his)
oh, and yuji starts learning how to knock whenever you come over (or shuts himself in his room for the meantime if he thinks it’s unsafe to step out of his room) because chances are, you’re probably making out with sukuna in his room or smth.
now onto the spicy stuff
when you and sukuna first started dating, the first thing you told him was that you weren’t ready to have sex yet because you were nervous and sukuna understood and told you that he was willing to wait for whenever you were ready.
but when you were ready though, it was kind of spontaneous and you weren’t even wearing a matching pair of bra and underwear that day
you two were chilling in your room watching some stupid (according to sukuna) animal documentary when suddenly you felt his hand on your thigh
dating sukuna and all, it was normal for him to have his hands on some part of your body (whether it be your thigh or your waist) while you two were in bed.
but you were feeling a bit bolder HORNEE than usual so you began to leave a hot trail of kisses starting from his jaw all the way down to his neck.
sukuna obviously got the memo but before those kisses could escalate into something more daring, he asked you once more if you were completely sure you wanted to do it and once you gave him the green light, he was quick to tug his shirt over his head and pounce on you.
he started getting really into it though and accidentally bit your thigh which made you loose your high and scold him for it, but he let out a hearty laugh and muttered a quick apology before getting back into business
sike i lied, remember what i said about it being spontaneous? yeah, you technically didn’t loose your virginity to him that day because after he finished prepping you, you both came to a realization that you didn’t have a condom.
oh well, there’s always next time!
i think sukuna is a sucker for pet names: his favorite thing to call you is either kitten or princess and that’s it LOL he finds calling you baby or babe is a bit too cheesy for him
but he likes it when you call him baby or babe ;)
date nights consist of either staying in and cuddling in his room, going out for a walk at night (but very very late though. there’s still lamp posts that guide your way through the streets but it gives you the heebie jeebies to be out walking outside so late. sukuna always reminds you that nothing bad will happen as long as he’s right by your side), or just spending time with you and your families.
but if you’re really down to do it, he’ll probably initiate a make out session that’ll lead to y’all fucking one way or another (he only ever does it if he is 100% sure that you’re feeling it because he knows you get easily embarrassed if he asks you straight up)
(this part is mainly written for me because i love the idea of sukuna being over at family functions, but it can be applied as part of the general hc heh) if you took him to any of your family functions as your plus one for the first time, all the aunts and uncles would be a bit wary of him at first due to all of the tattoos and piercings he has (sukuna swears he has never felt so self conscious before) but after they strike up a conversation with him and find out that he’s actually a good guy who knows what he wants to do in the future and is very loyal to you, they start to like him more.
your little cousins adore him and love it when he comes over because sukuna is a very tall high schooler which makes him the perfect candidate as a monkey bar
so when you noticed that all the little ones started to climb on his body and mess around with his hair, you were quick to react because you knew your boyfriend was easily irritable which prompted you to think he hated kids
but there was nothing to worry about because when you saw him playing around with them and even crack a smile, you felt your heart grow fuzzy at the sight and you knew right then and there that you wanted to stick by sukuna’s side for the rest of your life
and in the unfortunate circumstances that sukuna is too busy to make it to one of your functions, the first thing everyone asks is “where’s your boyfriend?” or “where’s ‘kuna? i wanna play with him!”
so you have to facetime him and let him know that everyone is wondering where he is (your phone is dead by the end of the night because after the adults get their turn at saying hi to your boyfriend, the kids snatch your phone and end up talking to him for the rest of the night)
but in conclusion, everyone is waiting for the day he gets on one knee to propose to you and your parents are itching to get to get call sukuna their son-in-law :))
also don’t forget that your parents want two grandchildren: one boy and one girl!

My @malexsanta Secret Santa gift for @gra-sonas 🎁🎄 I was thrilled to give you a Malex gift this year. You're one of my absolute favorites and such a dear friend. You wanted all the holiday cheer: Christmas ornaments, cookie recipe, market, and FLUFF! I hope this domestic fic truly delivers, brings joy to your holiday season, and fills your heart with warmth during the hiatus. I love you, hun! Xoxo. ❤️️💚
(PS: there's a little surprise in this fic, just for you, inspired by you)
***
Christmas Cookies & Holiday Hearts
"You know, this will be our first Christmas together. Officially."
As Michael says the words, Alex glances over at him, and his heart skips a beat. How is it that his alien still manages to take his breath away after so much time?
Alex smiles and gradually runs his fingertips up and down Michael's strong arm, feeling the smooth skin there. "You're right, even though I know you've tried to get me under a mistletoe for years."
"I mean, yeah...." Michael beams. His tan shoulders shrug as he kisses Alex's chest softly, "You aren't wrong, babe. Who could deny those luscious lips?"
Michael's fingers slowly trail up Alex's chest, which currently has imprints of his lover's glowing handprints left lovingly due to their intimacy with each other.
When he sees them, Alex knows with certainty that their love can move mountains and is capable of expanding through galaxies.
As Alex feels the calluses of Michael's hands on his body and now his lips, he closes his eyes to embrace the effect it manages to bring. It's as if a spark of electricity courses through his veins and ignites his soul. That's the only way he can explain it.
Nothing ever compares to this—what they have together in these silent moments. Alex will always cherish this peace with his loved one.
After a moment of soft loving caresses, Michael's smile disappears. Alex knows he's traveling deeper into that intelligent mind of his, the way he always seems to do these days. "But here's the thing, I want it to be special, meaningful. Christmases were never something to be excited about for me, you know? Just another shitty day."
Alex holds his breath but nods. Unfortunately, he knows precisely what Michael means. Though different, the events of their past, parallel each other in many forms worth forgetting. Alex's upbringing was painful in its way. Still, Alex wishes Michael, his sweet, brilliant alien, could have been spared the misery.
All Michael Guerin has ever wanted was a home, to feel like he belongs on this planet, and Alex wants to spend the rest of his life giving him precisely that.
"So, you've never done anything memorable during the holiday season? Not once?"
Michael raises an eyebrow as if to announce come on, but then he suddenly laughs as a memory resurfaces, "Well...there was that one time Sanders and I attempted to bake Christmas cookies for his customers."
Alex smirks as he imagines how that scene played out. A younger Michael Guerin, who was in-and-out of the foster system, and the older man with one good eye, baking in a small trailer. "And uh, how did that turn out?" Even though he can take a wild guess.
Michael shakes his head as his golden curls bounce and sway. He holds up his arm, "Badly, I have a battle scar from the process."
There is a slight white mark on the inside of Michael's arm, which looks a bit like a four-leaf clover. Alex has always wondered about it. "Damn, and here I thought that was a lucky birthmark."
"Darlin', the only good luck charm in my life is you. Never forget that." Alex feels his heart flutter in his chest at Michael's words, and Michael gently kisses Alex's forehead. But before Alex can return the sentiment, his love continues, "But yeah, Sanders' oven was old as hell at the time, and I guess no one taught me not to stick my whole damn arm right on the rack. Sanders felt awful about it. Poor guy."
"Were the cookies at least good?"
There's a sparkle in Michael's eyes as he says, "You know what? They were. I need to find that damn recipe—it has to be somewhere. Then maybe I can take the old man one, even though you are the better baker." His fingers lace together with Alex's, and Alex gives him a loving squeeze.
"You're right, I am," Alex smirks as he wiggles his eyebrows. "But I would be happy to help you. Sanders would seriously love that!"
Alex looks down at their hands still together. He is so happy that Michael now spends so much time with Walt. It is not a boss-employee type of relationship, but more of a familial one. After everything they had both been through, this progression felt natural. And if he's honest, Alex loves seeing Michael finally opening up to others, the way he does with Alex.
Michael nods and grins, "Done." His caramel eyes gaze at Alex, and he turns over to his side. "But I want new memories, too. Truthfully, besides the cookie disaster, I've never had anyone to share the holidays with."
Again, Alex knows all too deeply what he means, "I know the feeling, my love. I've always admired Christmas from a distance, and it seemed...well, always on the outside looking in." He squeezes Michael's hand tightly through the sheets once more, "I'm thankful to have you by my side. We're both on this journey together."
"Baby, I can't think of anyone else I'd rather share the memories with." Michael brings the back of Alex's hand to his lips, "Always and forever."
****
The next day, Alex and Michael decide to go Christmas shopping for their friends, who were more like their found family at this point.
Roswell had turned festive overnight, and it warms Alex's heart as if he were sitting by the crackling embers.
Truthfully, he loves the magic that comes with Christmas: The twinkling lights aglow; the cheerful, upbeat, and often, repetitive music; the smiling faces of those who don't wait till the last minute to shop; the smell of cinnamon sugar baked goods; and the falling snow—when they were lucky enough to get some.
For the first time, Roswell has even set up a Christmas Market like the ones you'd see in Europe. Alex's desert town has turned into a quaint storybook village.
Somebody has strung up multicolored lights between the small buildings, with brightly colored booths, side-by-side. There are reindeer attached to strings high up in the air, and a magnificent tall Christmas tree is sparkling within the town square. Above the tree is a halo of orange lights, symbolizing their golden desert sun.
It brightens both their spirits to witness the magic created. As Alex and Michael walk around, they hear the soft holiday music surrounding them, which only rekindles their melody passion.
They travel to each booth as they look for treasures to buy for their loved ones. Alex also keeps his eyes open for something unique he can get his Michael, but nothing quite captures his glance.
"Look at this!" Michael calls in the distance. He's standing in front of a lovely booth with peppermint designs on the awning and dangling glimmering white lights.
Alex sees what Michael is holding—it's a beautiful guitar ornament. Painted on the guitar are swirls of green, blue, and black, sparkled with stars symbolizing the night sky.
"Wow..." he says in response. "It's breathtaking."
Michael winks and bumps his shoulder lightly into Alex's, "Pretty cosmic, eh?"
"I'll say," Alex agrees as his grin widens.
"It was clearly made for us," Michael acknowledges as he wraps a strong arm around Alex's waist, "I think it would be the perfect ornament for our first tree together."
Alex kisses Michael softly on the lips, "I couldn't agree more, my love."
****
"So, you have no idea what you're getting him?"
Michael looks over at Isobel feeling exhausted, not at all how he felt when shopping with Alex, "Obviously not, that's why we're here, Iz."
"Michael, Christmas is less than one week away, and we're sitting in some random store, shopping for the love of your life, and you don't have a clue about a special gift for him?"
"Yup, that sounds about right."
Isobel shakes her lengthy blond hair back-and-forth. "Have I taught you nothing over the years?"
Michael groans, "Remind me again why I asked you to come with me?"
His alien sis just shrugs, "Because I'm brilliant, and it's obvious you need me. I would even add the word 'desperately.'"
"No...I don't recall that being the reason," Michael teases as he slings his arm lovingly over her shoulders. "You just love this stuff."
"You're right, I do. It's the best holiday these humans celebrate!" They both laugh, but Isobel kisses his cheek, "Listen, deep down somewhere underneath that dirty white tee of yours, you've gotta have an inkling of what you want to get him."
Well, if he had a clue, he would know it, wouldn't he?
But then Michael freezes as he sees something across the store, "Um, wow...that was fast, but you're right, I do."
Isobel pops a hip out, "Told you so."
"Yeah, the only problem is I'm not sure how he'll react to it."
Isobel smiles genuinely, "You know your man; you always have. Go with your instinct, Michael. I mean, word around this town is that they call you a genius or something." She gives him a look as she ruffles up his curls. "But pull away from that mind for once and go with that heart of yours. I, for one, know it's a pretty damn good one."
Michael snickers but truthfully feels loved, "You could write a self-help book, you know that?"
She winks and bites her red-stained lip, "Who says I haven't already?"
"Give your brother a signed copy. He'll appreciate it."
"As if," Isobel rolls her eyes, "You know Max wouldn't read it. That poor miserable fool who I love dearly." She pauses but adds, "So, Mr. Guerin, what'll it be? You going to listen to your heart?"
Michael narrows his eyes at the prize. Already knowing the answer to her question, he decides to let his heart follow the lead.
****
"A little to the left, babe!" Michael calls out to Alex as they attempt to fit the oversized tree through the cabin door. "Darlin', my left."
They spent the evening looking for the perfect tree, as it was their official first Christmas together. However, they ended up going with a taller sparse, and lopsided pine because, truthfully, life wasn't perfect, and neither were they.
Life is what you make it, and Michael is confident they can make this tree as bright as his heart feels when he's around Alex.
"There, perfect spot by the window," Alex smiles beautifully, pulling Michael back into the present moment as he nods in agreement.
"I should've tried harder not to get it through the door, though. Those muscles of yours are worth staring at a bit longer."
"Well, hold that thought, Guerin, because I'm hungry for food at the moment," Alex replies as he wraps his arms around Michael. "I'm thinking of soup; it's chilly tonight. Maybe it'll even snow."
Michael runs his fingers on Alex's thick biceps, feeling hungry for something else, "I doubt it. The forecast didn't show it. And knowing our little city, we'll probably end up having a heatwave tomorrow."
"Hey now," Alex remarks, looking deeply into Michael's eyes, "you never can know future outcomes."
Michael smiles mischievously, "I dunno...I think your future looks pretty damn bright tonight, babe."
"Is that a promise?" Alex asks, clearly flirting back.
"Always, darlin'.'"
They lean in to share a long lingering kiss, but before it turns too heated, Michael's belly moans in betrayal. Alex pulls back as he chuckles, "Raincheck for later, okay? I'm going to start dinner. Can you set up the tree so we can decorate afterward?"
Michael glares down at his stomach for the interruption but nods, "Absolutely." He moves his fingers, "I do know how to use these hands."
Alex grins in that sexy way of his as he walks into the kitchen, "Don't I know it."
Michael loves this. He loves that he decided to take the leap of faith and move in with Alex. This cabin has become their oasis, his true home. And here with Alex, he feels like he finally has a place here on earth.
Everything they had been through, even the pain, was worth it to get to this moment. Michael can't help but feel tears form in his eyes as he feels overwhelmed in gratitude.
While Alex moves around in the kitchen, Michael cheats a bit to get the tree set up. His powers hover the pine in the air as Michael uses his hands to set up the tree stand. As he moves the small box of ornaments and lights over from the closet, Michael smiles as he hears Alex humming a new song as he cooks.
Michael wants to live here in this domestic bliss forever.
Alex brings out his home-cooked meal, and damn, Michael thinks as he eats, his man knows how to cook. After they eat the delicious soup, Michael scrubs the plates as Alex makes them each a cup of hot cocoa with marshmallows, just the way Michael likes it. When the kitchen is clean, they sip on the chocolatey warmth as they string lights and decorate their tree.
"Here's our new one," Alex says as he holds their new cosmic ornament in his hand.
"That's a special one that needs to go right in front," Michael replies, as he hangs it up, hand-in-hand with Alex. "There."
Alex leans over and kisses his cheek, which warms Michael's heart. "It's perfect."
"You're perfect," Michael states as he leans his head onto Alex's shoulder. Alex slides his arm around his waist. Their movements are continuously in sync, and they are always somehow touching.
As Alex's fingers softly graze over the skin on his hip, Michael knows what kind of touch he desires right this moment, "Now, how about we curl up by the fire, and I show you just how talented my hands can be?"
"Yes, I could use the reminder," Alex responds with a slow grin.
They quickly light the fire, then Alex gives Michael the look as he pulls him towards the couch.
Being so helplessly caught up in each other, they miss the first few snowflakes that fall in Roswell.
****
It's cold out, but worth the trip. Alex gives the nod towards Michael, who taps gently on Sanders' trailer door.
Michael shifts uncomfortably, but Alex is proud of him for facing the emotions he knows his love feels inside.
After Sanders admitted to trying to adopt Michael, it indeed did something to Michael's heart. He opened up more, and Alex knew that Michael slowly realized he was always wanted and truly loved where it counted. It did something to Sanders too. Alex could almost see the young boy Walt coming through when they spoke now. There was a twinkle in his eye, and he would share memories with a smile instead of sadness.
They felt like a family.
That's why they had talked before coming to the old man's house with the cookies. There is something big that Michael wants to do, but Alex knows he's scared.
Alex is by his side the entire time.
Sanders opens the door with a smile, "Oh, Michael! Alex! Welcome! I wasn't expecting you." He shakes his shirt with a look of embarrassment.
"We wanted to surprise you!" Alex says with a grin. He shakes the old man's hand.
Sanders pats the back of his hand lightly, "I'm glad you did. Please, come in, you two. It's actually cold out."
Michael takes a big breath and follows Sanders inside.
When inside, Michael hands him the cookies, "Merry early Christmas."
"Oh! These look delicious," Sanders says admiringly.
"I'm not sure if you remember, but these are the exact cookies we made that one Christmas together."
Sanders looks up at Michael with surprise, "Truly? The... 'burn on the arm' year?"
Michael nods with a jokingly wince, "The very one."
Sanders blows out hard, "Well, it always pained me that you got burned on that damn old oven of mine, but I must say, those cookies were superb, weren't they?"
"They were, burned and all."
"And you baked these all by yourself? Uh, should I be scared?" Sanders teases with a nudge.
"Nah, I had some guidance," Michael mentions as he casually puts his arm around Alex.
Alex shrugs, "I barely helped at all. Michael here did an excellent job. I tried one, so I can promise you that you'll survive." He winks at Michael.
"Oh, phew! That's a relief," Sanders chuckles. "Michael, where did you find the recipe?"
"In the garage, it was in a wooden box on one of your shelves. The one that's slightly tilting. I remembered you putting it in there." Michael taps his head, "I'm pretty observant if you haven't already noticed."
Sanders sighs with a lopsided grin, "You get it from me, I think." He pops one in his mouth. "Wow, absolutely delicious." After he chews, he looks towards Michael with an expression of gratitude. "Well, thank you, son, this means a lot to me."
Alex knows what the word son does to Michael, its effect on him, and Michael shifts awkwardly. He looks over to Alex for reassurance, and Alex holds his hand, comforting him the best way he knows how.
His strength, after all, is linked to Michael's. They go together in every way that matters.
"That's not the only thing I brought for you," Michael whispers. He reaches into his back pocket and hands Sanders the envelope.
"Oh, a Christmas card?"
"Um, well, not exactly," Michael replies as he squeezes Alex's hand tighter.
Sanders puts on his reading glasses and switches the lights on brighter in the trailer. He opens the envelope and starts to read. The small smile on his face begins to fall, and he becomes nonplussed.
Alex acknowledges that Michael gets uncomfortable, maybe even nervous, but Alex knows that Sanders is touched.
Finally, after what feels like an eternity, Sanders looks up, and his eyes are full of tears. His voice comes out raspy and hoarse as he asks, "You sure? You want that?"
"More than anything," Michael responds, his voice also full of emotion. "If you'll have me, of course."
"It would be an honor, son." Sanders sets the adoption papers onto his small wooden table and pulls Michael tightly in his arms. "You've always felt like mine, anyway."
"I think my mom would be happy about this," Michael cries, letting the tears fall down his face. It's the most beautiful sight to witness, and Alex can't help but let go, too.
Sanders nods and closes his eye as he holds his son, "You know, my boy, I think she would."
****
A few days before Christmas, Alex and Michael decide to throw a little festive party at the cabin. They spent the morning stringing up lights outside, getting the drink station ready, and preparing their friend's gifts around the tree.
It was perfect.
Isobel is the first to arrive, of course, and she brings so many gifts, she can hardly get through the door, "Hello? A little help here, Michael?"
"I'm coming. I'm coming!"
Alex finishes up in the kitchen, and even though the feast smells delicious, Michael's man looks good enough to eat.
Soon after Isobel has her martini in hand, the others follow suit.
Liz and Kyle come together, hand-in-hand, and Michael prays it won't be awkward with Max. Gregory shows up, and Isobel immediately wraps her arms around him. Michael and Alex share a knowing smile, especially when she holds a mistletoe above his head. Then Maria and Mimi head inside with a few bottles of wine. With holes in the top, Rosa brings a large box inside, making Michael wonder what it is, but Arturo follows with a banana cream pie from the diner, and the rest is history. Sanders joins, of course, and Michael can't help but hug him longer than the rest. And finally, his boy Max.
Luckily everyone gets along perfectly. The group has been through so much together that they make a toast for a fresh new beginning.
Everyone at the party finally knows about the aliens being, well, aliens, and swore to protect them. The secret has bonded and united them in ways Michael never expected.
The group mingles as they sip their drinks, and Michael looks around the room at his friends and family, feeling lucky. He made a life for himself in Roswell, and as he looks towards the love of his existence, Michael knows it's time.
He takes a moment to just stare at Alex, and suddenly he's beyond grateful he listened to his heart.
Alex is the one for him. Michael now understands that this human was his reason for coming to this planet—they were written in the stars long ago, destined to be together.
This is why Michael stands up bravely, walks towards Alex, and gets down on one knee.
Michael opens the little black box he got in the store with Isobel and reveals a silvery gray tantalum band, one he knows will fit Alex perfectly.
Isobel hushes everyone down and clasps her hands together as she sends Michael a wink from across the room. Max also gives Michael an encouraging nod, which provides him with the strength he needs at that moment.
Michael stares up at the man he adores, and Alex's perfect mouth falls open. Taking his love's hand, Michael finally finds his voice, "Alex Manes, you are my whole world. When we were teens, you looked at me in music class and sparked something deep inside me; something I didn't quite understand, but it was there with me all along. And when we kissed for the first time, you woke me up to the life I had always dreamed of having. You are that dream, Alex. You are my family, and you've given me a place to call home. I have loved you from the beginning, and I'll love you to the very end." Michael takes a deep breath, "I would be the happiest alien on earth if you would yes. So please, darlin', will you marry me?"
Alex gleams as tears fill those beautiful eyes, "We truly are linked...."
"What...what do you mean?" Michael whispers, but Alex immediately joins him on the floor, kneeling in front of him.
Alex pulls out an emerald velvet box and opens it. Inside is an engraved bronze band that matches the color of Michael's eyes. He holds his breath as the rest of the world fades away. "I mean, you beat me to it even though I've had this ring since we officially got together." Alex places his hand to Michael's face and strokes his cheek gently. "I was waiting for our first Christmas together because I wanted to give us both a happy memory to erase all the bad ones. The plan was going to ask Walt for his approval, which he wholeheartedly gave." They both look at Sanders, who nods with a loving grin. "And then I'd get down on one knee in front of all our loved ones and ask if you'd continue to create this life together with me, a true home." Then Alex holds Michael's hand again, "All I can say is that I love you more than I could ever begin to put into words, and I'm asking you if you'd do me the honor in marrying me?"
Michael doesn't realize he's crying until he feels the drops land on his outstretched hand. "Oh my God, Alex...."
"Is that a yes?"
Michael laughs softly as he strokes the back of Alex's hand gently, "I believe I asked you first, darlin'."
Alex nods with a breathtaking smile, tears flickering those beautiful dark eyes, "Of course I will. A hundred times, yes!" He leans in closer to Michael, "And you?"
"That would be a hell yes, baby!" He hears a whoop from one of his friends in the background, but then Michael gets serious. "It's always been a yes for me." Michael cups Alex's face, "You're my human, Alex Manes."
"That's Alex Sanders if you don't mind."
Michael looks over at his adoptive father again, who's now wiping his eyes and positively glowing. Michael kisses Alex's lips, "I don't mind a bit."
As they finish their first engaged kiss, their friends cheer, cry, and hug them both tightly, then Isobel giggles, "Is now a good time to give you two our gift?"
"Go for it, Scooby Squad," Michael exclaims as he takes Alex's hand in his own, never wanting to let go.
Isobel looks to the room they had closed, "Okay, Rosa, bring her out!"
Michael and Alex exchange a look. Bring who out?
And before Michael can overthink it, Rosa comes out holding a beagle puppy. "It's a rescue. The shelter I volunteer at found her abandoned on the side of the road."
"We thought it would be perfect for you two, plus, remember that dinner we had a couple of weeks ago?" Isobel says as she looks towards Alex. "You practically said you were going to start looking for one. I remember you saying, 'the cabin is much too quiet, I think we need to get a dog.'"
Alex laughs and takes the small puppy into his arms, "I don't recall those were my exact words, but it doesn't matter; she's perfect."
"Lost without a family," Michael says, petting the puppy's long ears, "sounds like the two of us all right."
"You mean a found family!" Liz calls out. "Just like all of us."
Alex looks at Michael and nods. Michael smiles back, "We love her. Thank you, everyone!"
"I knew this pup would be a part of your future," Mimi exclaims, and Michael watches Alex wink at her. "She's a gentle soul. I'm happy she'll have you two."
"Best dog daddies ever," Maria smiles happily. Everyone in the room has what seems to be permanent heart-eyes. "We will miss her, though! She's been staying with us."
"Well, you know you all are welcome here anytime!" Alex says.
"What will you name her?" Gregory asks as Isobel leans back into his arms.
"How about Kyletta?" Michael laughs as he looks towards Kyle. "Kyletta Barklenti."
"Real funny, alien boy," Kyle responds, as he rolls his eyes looking reasonably amused. He looks over at the food, "How about Bagel? You seemed to be pretty obsessed with those today, Guerin. I mean, how many did you actually eat?"
"I was hungry!" Michael retorts, "You didn't bring nearly enough to share."
"Okay, okay," Alex intervenes as he shakes his head. Michael enjoys ruffling Kyle's feathers, but Michael doesn't mind the guy beneath his human annoyances. He's a good friend to Alex, making him a good man in Michael's book.
"So, what are you going to name her then?" Max asks from across the room.
"Yeah, I mean, you don't actually have to name her after a food," Kyle teases.
"No," Michael grins, "you know what, Doc? I like it. Bagel. It has that—"
"Bagel! Yes, call her Bagel. I love it!" Isobel interrupts.
"Not again..." Michael groans quietly. Isobel + anything bagel = interruptions, which is a no-go, especially when it comes to Alex.
After they finalize the name, everyone gushes over the puppy and their rings. They eat, share stories, and finish opening gifts.
The day is perfect in every way. Even on the Hallmark channel, they don't make them better than this.
Michael holds Bagel in his arm and takes a break from the crowd. He sits on the couch in the living room, and the puppy folds up into his lap, falling asleep as Michael rubs her ears.
After a moment or two, someone strokes his shoulder lightly, and he looks up to see his fiancé's beautiful face. Michael feels immensely grateful, not for the first time this holiday season.
Alex scoots in close and whispers in Michael's ear, "So, my love, would you say this Christmas is worth remembering?"
Michael pulls Alex in his arms, "Yes, darlin'. I've never been happier in my life." He takes Alex's hand with the ring and kisses it. "Our family is already growing."
"It sure is," Alex says, putting his forehead against Michael's as he strokes Bagel's soft fur.
They sit there for a while, just the three of them, with the comforting hum of loved ones surrounding them.
"Wow...Look, Michael." Michael looks out the window to see it snowing. The snowflakes fall to the ground in a swirling dance. It reminds Michael of their life together, new and old memories, coming together in a story of love.
Michael feels complete peace in his heart as Alex says, "Merry Christmas, my love."
It was merry, and their future, well, Michael knows it will be very bright as long as they always have each other.
"I love you," Michael answers.
Alex's reply is the kiss they share and would continue sharing for the rest of their days.

Alright here are other ones that I had asked for to deathdaydungeon but they seem to be occupied for a while... There is a theory saying that Neville had a Snape Boggart because Snape had threatened Trevor, which represented Neville’s “proof” that he wasn’t a Squib, as he feared so. In this case, why didn’t he have a dead Trevor as a Boggart instead? Do you think that Snape expressing his worry over how James fancies Lily could be consistent evidence he wanted to date her or not?
I do believe that @deathdaydungeon has shared a few of their thoughts on Neville’s Boggart before that you may find of interest since they’ve not yet been able to respond to your ask. Indeed, the entire discussion following their own thoughts is well worth a read, and here’s another version where I share just a few of my own thoughts.
That being said, I’m going to cite from a much older and very lengthy discussion post I once wrote regarding Snape as I went into a great length and detail exploring the potential symbolism of Neville’s Boggart to Neville and some of the psychological implications. Because that particular meta covered such a broad range of topics concerning Snape and that particular bit came at the very end of what proved to be a 20k word essay simply linking you to it and expecting you to search through it all to find the sections that pertain to your ask seems less reasonable than simply quoting from that portion of the meta here (although if you find yourself with a bit of time and the interest for it, here is the link to that monster of a meta all the same). So, with that said, here are my thoughts on Neville’s Boggart, Trevor, Boggart!Snape, and Boggarts overall.
I have often challenged Harry’s narrator as one that is intentionally designed to be biased or unreliable (notably it is a limited-omniscient perspective) in order to demonstrate how it can influence reader perception of characters and even the world the characters occupy. However, the discrepancy between Harry’s perspective of how he is treated by the Dursleys and Neville’s perspective of his own family and how he is treated is revealing exactly because it is made more apparent for being presented through Harry’s narrative. From the start of HP: PS, Harry’s narrative wastes little time in painting for the reader a picture of abuse and unhappiness where Harry’s life with the Dursleys is concerned. With Dudley serving as our counterpoint to emphasize the extreme neglect, abuse and more general mistreatment that Harry suffers while under their roof (e.g. being forced to sleep in a cupboard with spiders while Dudley has a second room, being bullied and beaten while Dudley’s is doted on, even having his hair cut in a humiliating fashion while Dudley receives a new school uniform, etc.), Rowling’s narrative also expresses to the reader Harry’s awareness of the injustice of his situation and his feelings of resentment, discontent, and helplessness. When it comes to the Dursleys and their cruel treatment of Harry the narrative does function as a mostly reliable gauge for the reader to go by. Thus, when the reader is confronted with Neville’s account of his own family experiences in HP: PS I would argue that what makes it the most jarring is the fact that it goes against the precedent set by Harry and his narrative, in that Neville does not appear to recognize anything out of the ordinary in how he has been treated:
"Well, my gran brought me up and she's a witch," said Neville, "but the family thought I was all- Muggle for ages. My Great Uncle Algie kept trying to catch me off my guard and force some magic out of me -- he pushed me off the end of Blackpool pier once, I nearly drowned -- but nothing happened until I was eight. Great Uncle Algie came round for dinner, and he was hanging me out of an upstairs window by the ankles when my Great Auntie Enid offered him a meringue and he accidentally let go. But I bounced -- all the way down the garden and into the road. They were all really pleased, Gran was crying, she was so happy. And you should have seen their faces when I got in here -- they thought I might not be magic enough to come, you see. Great Uncle Algie was so pleased he bought me my toad."
Notably, Neville joins the other first-years like Seamus Finnegan in very casually relating details about his home life to his new peers and the reader learns that he would appear to come from a family that would risk potentially killing him over the possibility that he might have been born a Squib (the way that Squibs might function as an allegory for neurodivergence and disability is, in itself, an interesting subject to explore; especially given the attitudes of Neville’s grandmother and uncle, whose behaviors might be compared to those of modern anti-vaccers, so-called “autism awareness” groups like Autism Speaks that promote an idea of autism as a disease to be cured, and those parents who treat their disabled children in abliest ways). Indeed, it would appear that Trevor was a gift from the same uncle who had constantly tried to catch him off guard (in the same way Dudley and his friends always forced Harry to be on the defensive) and held him out of a window before thoughtlessly dropping him, which does add a new dimension to his emotional attachment to his toad (a reward from an abusive uncle just for not being so inadequate that he failed to get into Hogwarts). The stark difference between Neville and Harry’s perceptions of their families and their unique responses to how they are treated does give us some potential insight into their insecurities and measurements of self-worth.
Additionally, it gives us some potential insight into the possible sociocultural attitudes of wizarding society and might suggest that behaviors like those from Neville’s family are normalized and not regarded as abusive so much as they are accepted as just another extension of the “eccentricity” of their world. It is of interest that when Harry receives his first acceptance letter to Hogwarts addressed to “The Cupboard under the Stairs” the Dursley’s appear concerned at being caught out and move Harry to Dudley’s second room. They are also temporarily said to have tried to seem “nicer” to him, likely for fear of being watched. Moreover, the Dursley’s do show some indication that they may be aware that their treatment of Harry is abusive and would be viewed negatively by most of their Muggle society when Harry joins them at the zoo and Vernon Dursley reluctantly buys him a lemon-flavored ice cream to save face when the vendor draws attention to Harry being excluded. Overall, the very fact that Neville did feel so comfortable openly discussing his Uncle Algie’s treatment of him and the low opinion his family all appear to share about his magical capability does seem to support a point of contrast between Muggle and wizard societies and their views on abuse and child endangerment.
Furthermore, the different ways that Harry and Neville react to Severus is also revealing. Especially as there have been numerous discussions about the psychological factors that may have contributed to Severus’s seeming disdain for Harry and Neville but fewer discussions seem to be devoted to exploring Harry’s own strong animosity for Severus or the source of Neville’s potential fear of him. Significantly, we can observe that for Harry the protection afforded by Lily’s sacrifice does create a scenario where he must return to the Dursley’s at the end of each school year (in some ways, one could observe that the consequences of Lily’s death bind both Harry and Severus to an environment where they sustained most of their trauma). Thus, we see where any outward defiance within the household of the Dursleys is complicated by the requirement that Harry must remain with the Dursleys even after he learns he has magic. Instead, Harry has to mostly resort to cunning acts of self-defense (e.g. taking advantage of the Dursley’s ignorance of the Underage Secrecy Laws to lead them to believe he can use magic against them) or we see that his resistance assumes a more passive-aggressive tone (understandable given the retaliation he can expect from direct confrontation) with the exception of HP: PoA, when Aunt Marge’s sustained verbal abuse and threats over the course of two weeks manages to trigger an explosion of magic in Harry.
Whereas, at Hogwarts, we see Harry buck against authority more and more each year and Severus remains the focal point of his more active resistance. His refusal to address Severus using his title or forms of respect, even in the face of correction by multiple sources, culminates in Harry openly sassing Severus in his sixth year (”You don’t have to call me sir, Professor.”). He becomes more openly brazen in working around Severus, confronting him, and defying him when challenged. As the series progresses, Harry’s enmity toward Severus grows until we see a rancor of mutual proportions between them that culminates in Harry chasing Severus out of Hogwarts throwing curses in HP: HBP. Thus, where Harry cannot so openly defy the Dursleys, in many ways, Severus becomes a figure of authority (one who seems to unfairly hate him and who is biased against him and his house) that he can more safely (i.e. where resistance with the Dursleys might result in real harm or consequences defying Severus results in detention at worst and lost house points at best) resist in their place. Therefore, where Harry may function as a less threatening proxy of James for Severus to project onto, so too does Severus potentially function as a more secure stand-in for the Dursleys that Harry can lash out against and rebel from.
In the case of Neville, I would posit that Severus may also function as a representation of sorts. Specifically, he may serve as a symbol of the deeper anxieties and insecurities that Neville formed as a result of the pressure that his family placed on his magical capability. A pressure that the Hogwarts environment and its preferencing of a culture that fosters competition between houses and depends upon a performance-based reward system may only have exacerbated. As Harry observes in HP: GoF, McGonagall wasn’t the only professor while at Hogwarts to seldom compliment Neville, rather it would seem that “...Neville very rarely heard that he was good at anything.” His first-year alone began in an inauspicious manner, as we see Neville struggle in almost all of his classes from Charms to Potions to Flying (which lands him a broken wrist and Harry a spot on the Quidditch team). While we can debate the extent to which Neville’s magical struggles are the result of him being on a different level of skill and/or learning curve to some of the other children, we can at least acknowledge that his anxiety may have contributed significantly to many of his mistakes (”But Neville, nervous and jumpy and frightened of being left on the ground, pushed off hard before the whistle had touched Madam Hooch's lips.”), just as Merope Gaunt’s magical ability was considerably hampered by the constant criticism and abuse she sustained from both Gaunt men in her household (notably, just as Neville’s grandmother implies that he was nearly a Squib, so too does Merope’s father criticize her magical abilities by calling her a Squib).
Which brings me back to the subject of Severus and the finer points of why he may have become Neville’s Boggart, specifically. Undoubtedly, for a self-conscious and anxious student, having Severus for a teacher would be a harrowing experience and I do not deny that Neville wouldn’t have found it difficult. However, as I’ve also established previously, Severus was not entirely unique in how he approached teaching nor even the only teacher at Hogwarts to criticize, be harsh, or single-out Neville. As such, one must ask themselves why it is Neville that perceives Severus as more uniquely terrible or to be feared. For starters, we could once again point to the unreliable narrative of Harry Potter and what it tells us about the public opinion of Severus, even before Harry had his first class with him, and how that may have also influenced Neville’s preconceived notions of him as well. Notably, when Harry asks Percy (a school prefect) about Severus he’s told this, "Oh, you know Quirrell already, do you? No wonder he's looking so nervous, that's Professor Snape. He teaches Potions, but he doesn't want to -- everyone knows he's after Quirrell's job. Knows an awful lot about the Dark Arts, Snape." Thus, anxious already, it’s feasible to argue that Neville may have entered Severus’s first potions class with an idea of Severus’s “infamy” as well.
More critically, however, one might speculate as to whether Neville even consciously connects his performance anxiety and fear of being perceived as a failure with the treatment he received as a child by members of his own family. Indeed, I would submit that the true source of Neville’s fears does stem from the traumatic experiences of his childhood and what they would have reinforced for him; that is, the idea that he would be better off dead than a Squib, a magical failure who can only become a burden to his family, and the conditioned expectation that any failure his part will always be connected to harsh corrections and/or punishments (such as having your uncle constantly torment you by trying to constantly catch you off guard or even threaten to drop you out of a window). Indeed, within a society where Squibs are treated as sources of shame and second-class citizens, and where you never speak of that “second cousin who became an accountant,” (HP: PS) Neville’s fears are legitimately validated and he would be more out to view other authority figures as capable of doing serious harm to him (if only by rejecting him from Hogwarts, declaring him a near-Squib, and sending him out into the world without a magical education). Thus, he might take them at face value as a genuine threat to his long-term acceptance in the wizarding world and regard his teachers (particularly the overly critical, stern, or harsh ones) with a deeper source of anxiety rather than test their boundaries, as we see with Harry vs. Snape. As such, the boy whose family hadn’t even entirely expected him to get into Hogwarts finds himself faced with the constant pressure of not disappointing them or proving himself undeserving of his place there among the other students. Returning back to Severus, we can find evidence of an interesting symbolism in him being Neville’s Boggart and how that might lend insight into these deeper fears Neville carries.
I do not believe it was a coincidence that Rowling placed the scene where Severus had Neville demonstrate the efficacy of his Shrinking Solution on Trevor before the Boggart lesson with Lupin as the reader is shown (i.e. between HP: PS and HP: CoS Neville is only shown making mistakes in Severus’s classes that would prompt him snapping at him or we are just told Severus was horrible) in more certain terms why Neville might fear Severus enough for him to credibly be his personal Boggart. As we know, Trevor was the gift that Neville received from his Uncle Algie for “surprising everyone” in his family with his acceptance to Hogwarts, which we could argue makes Trevor a symbol of approval from a family who formerly saw him as a disappointment. Moreover, Severus also functions as a symbol in that Neville may have come to associate him specifically with his anxieties over being singled out as inadequate. Quite fitting, as Severus Snape the biased teacher and Head of Slytherin House who hates Gryffindors, fancies the Dark Arts, covets the DADA position, has exacting standards and does not suffer fools lightly is both the safe (in that it’s likely easier for Neville to fear him than it would be for him to unpack all the psychological realities of the trauma his family inflicted on him) and the most obvious candidate for Neville to focus all of the anxieties and fears he may have formed as a result of his family’s treatment of him. Treatment that his world would appear to have normalized in such a way that, unlike Harry, he may not have consciously recognized --or even want to recognize-- it to be cruel, unfair, and even abusive. Ergo, when Severus uses Trevor as his “teaching moment” the symbol of Neville’s fears (i.e Severus) is seemingly threatening the symbol of Neville’s validation (i.e. Trevor) that he is not a complete failure and a total disappointment to everyone in his family.
Ultimately, Rowling does reinforce this psychological symbolism when she has Neville’s Boggart of Severus connected to an association with his grandmother. Also of interest is the fact that prior to Lupin introducing his class to the Boggart, Severus also makes an unexpected appearance in the staff room where he seems to caution Lupin in the form of mocking Neville (something I’ve theorized before may have doubled as a veiled warning about the wisdom of exposing children, especially those like Harry and Neville, to a creature that assumes the form of your fears). So that, once again, the connection between Severus as a source of fear and Neville’s insecurities are emphasized to the reader in such a way that by that point they are very present at the forefront of the reader’s mind and it makes it very easy to accept that Severus would be Neville’s Boggart at face value and leave it there. However, upon closer examination, the symbolic connection between Neville’s fear of Severus and his fears associated with his family is also very present. Notably, when Lupin singles Neville out to lead the class in demonstrating how to handle a Boggart, Rowling makes a point to have Lupin establish the correlation between Severus and Neville’s grandmother:
"Professor Snape... hmmm... Neville, I believe you live with your grandmother?"
"Er -- yes," said Neville nervously. "But -- I don't want the boggart to turn into her either."
Significantly, Neville first admits to Severus being his Boggart and when Lupin brings up his grandmother he acknowledges that he does not want his Boggart to turn into his grandmother, which might support my theory that Severus is a safer focus for Neville’s anxieties and fears than acknowledging any connection between them and his family would be. Nevertheless, his Boggart does become an amalgamation of Severus and his grandmother and it is only by confronting them together that he is able to overcome his Boggart. Interestingly, one can also observe that the majority of the forms the Boggart assumed in Lupin’s class were primarily surface-level fears that some might associate with childhood or more general phobias, such as clowns or spiders. Even Harry, who Lupin expected would see Voldemort, found himself confronted with a Dementor instead, largely because his most recent experience with a Dementor unearthed the traumatic memories of the night his parents died. As such, one can argue that Harry did not fear the Dementor so much as he feared what the Dementor had come to represent to him, which, while connected to Voldemort in a more intangible sense, had more to do with the trauma of the night when he lost his parents and was a more immediate threat for Harry to process and to fear (rather than the more distant and abstract awareness he would have had of Voldemort existing somewhere in the world, the uncertainty of when he would even return, and what that, i.e. actual war, might even be like for him to experience).
In fact, Rowling presents us with another example of the Boggart functioning as a representation of deeper fears and anxieties much later in HP: PoA, which further supports the argument that Snape was not Neville’s Boggart just because he had managed to become the sole source of trauma in Neville’s life but rather because he had come to represent the more complex fears that Neville was not prepared --or potentially of an age of maturity yet-- to be able to consciously process or really confront head-on. It is noteworthy that Rowling makes a point to draw the reader’s attention to the fact that Hermione had not had an opportunity to face the Boggart by the end of Lupin’s lesson (He seems like a very good teacher", said Hermione approvingly. "But I wish I could have a turn with the boggart --") and I would posit that it was an intentional build-up to the reveal at a later part of her book where we discover that Hermione and Neville would seem to share very similar fears:
Hermione did everything perfectly until she reached the trunk with the Boggart in it. After about a minute inside it, she burst out again, screaming. ‘Hermione!’ said Lupin, startled. ‘What’s the matter?’ ‘P-P-Professor McGonagall!’ Hermione gasped, pointing into the trunk. ‘Sh-she said I’d failed everything!’ It took a little while to calm Hermione down.
Ultimately, we might question whether it was wise on McGonagall’s part to encourage Hermione to attempt such a rigorous schedule as she did third-year. Particularly as we see the evidence of the pressure (psychological, emotional, etc.) that Hermione has placed on herself knowing that McGonagall received special permission for her to use a Time-Turner as the third-book progresses and Hermione becomes more and more frazzled and anxious. Nevertheless, one is justified in applying some scrutiny to any assertions that McGonagall was Hermione's Boggart because she was a more literal source of fear or trauma for her, so much as one might argue that she had also become a symbolic focal point for the anxieties of a student and that the Boggart merely provided a representation of those deeper, more complex fears. As a Muggle-born, one might argue that Hermione does have certain fears about being found inadequate or unworthy of belonging to the magical world and that she compensates for those fears by placing a great amount of significance on her grades and the approval of her teachers. Therefore, where Trevor may serve as a symbol of validation for Neville, for Hermione it is her grades and the approval of her teachers that similarly assume a symbolic function and help her feel she has validated her right to be at Hogwarts. Thus, just as Severus served as a representation of Neville’s fears of inadequacy when he threatened Trevor or assumed the form of a Boggart in his grandmother’s clothing, likewise, could we argue that McGonagall functioned as a representation of Hermione’s anxieties about disappointing her teachers and failing to demonstrate she belonged at Hogwarts and, more subsequently, the wizarding world.
Both Neville and Hermione might be said to be very keenly aware of their privilege in being accepted into Hogwarts and, perhaps, the most self-conscious of their right to be there as a result. As a Muggle-born, Hermione was able to discover a world of magic despite not being born into it, and we see where the impact of that does seem to instill in her a conscious desire to prove herself and demonstrate that she has a place in that world and at Hogwarts. In contrast, Neville may have been born into the magical world but the pressures and expectations placed on him by his family would appear to have made his own acceptance to Hogwarts feel less secure; as if he were on shaky ground and the privilege could be revoked from him at any moment. It’s no coincidence that in HP: PS Hermione seems to regard being expelled from Hogwarts as worse than death (even if we do allow for hyperbole) or that Neville most demonstrates his courage when standing up for Gryffindor house to preserve the points they have. Rowling could be said to have drawn some intentional parallels between these two characters as early as the first book, and the similarity of their Boggarts and the anxieties that it reveals only further validate this connection.
Moreover, it also showcases for the reader the key difference between him and Harry as two characters who came from abusive family environments. Where Harry is able to acknowledge the wrongness of the way the Dursleys treat him, Neville exists in a world where such behaviors seem to be more normalized and, as a result, he could be said to project his fears onto Severus in lieu of being equipped with the recognition that he would need to acknowledge the more complex source of his fears. In conclusion, Neville may have been socialized to accept the treatment of his family largely because he does love them and he places greater importance on their acceptance of him. Whereas, Severus is a more safe option for him to channel his fears through given he is someone who already has a reputation of “infamy” --unless you’re a Slytherin-- and could be expected to do exactly what Neville most fears; reject him and belittle his competence as a wizard (a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts). Likewise, Harry can more safely push back against Severus than he can the Dursleys, so Severus does become a more convenient outlet for his feelings of powerlessness and anger and one who can be expected to play the role of antagonist that Harry counts on (until HP: DH when he suddenly doesn’t). This is why any contemporary psychological analysis does fall short unless one is prepared to go beyond the issue of Severus being Neville’s Boggart and fairly examine the matter of McGonagall being Hermione’s Boggart and the psychological underpinnings of Boggarts as a concept overall.
In regards to Severus’s reaction towards Lily, I would argue that it could be interpreted a few ways. One could choose to read it as evidence of Severus’s romantic attraction to Lily and his anxiety that Lily might prefer James as a romantic partner over him. Canon could certainly support such an interpretation and it would be more than valid. However, given the full context of the conversation that came before Severus displayed any anxiety, one could also interpret Severus’s response more platonically. Notably, prior to Severus becoming concerned by the idea that James fancies Lily and that Lily might not mind being fancied by him so much (because she fancies him back) they had been arguing over the behaviors of people from their houses and how objectionable they might be. Lily insisted that Mulciber had used “dark magic” on a classmate (which might be hyperbole given there is never any mention to teachers responding to a student using dark magic openly enough for other students to have a conversation about it later) and that Severus shouldn’t associate with him. In turn, Severus alluded to the very real dangers that the Marauders were capable of based off his own first-hand experience.
Importantly, although he is forbidden to discuss the incident with Remus, he does noticeably try very hard to make Lily aware of the danger but she is not convinced. Interestingly, Lily also makes a point to single-out James and defend him specifically while Severus is criticizing all four Marauders. It is ultimately this that leads Severus to the issue of James and provokes his flustered observation about James’s infatuation with Lily. Thus Severus’s anxiety and his relief when Lily denies having any interest in James could also be interpreted through the lens of Severus’s experiences with the Marauders as bullies who only recently escalated the situation between them with Sirius’s prank to new and much darker levels of malice (and that they were able to do so and received no apparent consequences from any of the authority figures at Hogwarts; in fact, one could argue that from Severus’s perspective it would have seemed Sirius nearly killed him and Dumbledore responded by protecting the Marauders by enforcing his silence). Ultimately, the anxiety might also be read as Severus’s fear for a friend who has ignored his warnings about people he has a legitimate reason to believe can be dangerous and he does not want Lily to get involved with James for that reason. So, there you have it, two different ways of interpreting that scene from the book.
Once again, thank you for your ask!
Regards,
Raptured Night

Rush Job
Orthoclase is summoned to repair a very badly damaged pearl for a mystery client. She does her best, but it may be beyond even her skills as a remodeler.
Note: So I finally got around to watching the new episodes. I'm starting to think either I am ever so slightly psychic, really tuned into a zeitgeist or someone on the SU crew is reading my fics (and that is a possibility that makes me shudder a bit). Either way, I had to write this while the thought is still in my head and I have a scrap of free time.
PS: Previous reading of my Orthoclase-and-Pearl shorts is advised to make sense of this fic. Although anyone reading the Chorus fic will know Orthoclase's pearl as Ginger, this fic takes place a good few thousand years before she was named and so she is referred to as Pearl here. Hope it's not confusing.
…..
The call came in close to the end of the cycle, just as Orthoclase was reconditioning her tools in a lye bath and Pearl finishing up the latest sets of schematics. The message was from an Aquamarine three districts away, a gem that often put through jobs by proxy.
“How urgent is this, exactly?” Orthoclase asked once she had the Aquamarine onscreen. “I charge extra for latecomers, you know that.”
“It's extremely time sensitive,” Aquamarine told her.
There was something odd in Aquamarine's stance. She was as well known for her discretion as Orthoclase herself was, and was noted for being calm and stoic. She seemed rattled. It was alarming, to say the least.
“It's worth forty thousand credits if you can fix it,” Aquamarine continued.
“Forty thousand?” Orthoclase scoffed. “They could buy a new pearl for that much. Top of the range one, even. This a military operation?”
“I am not at liberty to say,” Aquamarine said. “Will you take it or not?”
“Sure I'll take it,” Orthoclase said with a shrug. “You got me curious. Drop it off at the fifth rendezvous...”
“No, we can't let it be done in your workshop. We have a location. I'll send the co-ordinates.”
With that, she was gone. Orthoclase sighed, flopped across the couch and started polishing one of her blades in earnest.
“'I'm not at liberty to say,” she scoffed. “Imperious little shingle.”
“What do you think you'll need?” Pearl asked. She was already packing a bag for Orthoclase.
“I say bring everything,” Orthoclase said. “You might as well come with me. It sounds like this is going to be a tricky one.”
…..
Tricky was a vast understatement.
After journeying to the other side of the city, through some very rough areas, they had been picked up by a private luger with the windows blacked out so they couldn't see where they were going or who was driving them. They were let out in a huge empty facility (if she had to guess, Orthoclase thought it might have been one of the pre-zoatox war ship hangars) and to top it all off, Aquamarine wasn't even there.
A Morganite stood in the middle of the darkened hall, nervously shuffling in front of a table covered with a tarp. Orthoclase scanned her carefully; excellent posture inconsistent with military service, neatly dressed, hair pinned severely back, almost too pristine. This was someone's caretaker, or assistant. Someone very high up in Homeworld's chain of command.
“Thank you for agreeing to do this,” she began by way of a greeting.
“I haven't seen what you want me to do yet,” Orthoclase said, declining to shake her hand. “I may not be able to do anything.”
“I've been told you're the best,” Morganite said, brandishing a tablet. “The forty thousand was a starting price. If you can help us, I'll double it.”
Orthoclase whistled. That was a lot of money for one job, even a difficult one. Someone was desperate.
“All right, might as well take a look...” she said, lifting the tarp.
She put it down again a parsec later.
“Yeah, I can't fix this,” she said, consciously blocking Pearl's view with her body even though the tarp was down. “I'm good, I'm not that good.”
“It doesn't need to be perfect. Functional will do,” Morganite responded.
“Functional?” Orthoclase laughed scornfully. “I have no idea what's even holding it together anymore! What in Core's name happened to it?”
“That is not to be discussed.”
“Right, whatever. Point is, it would be a lot easier to just get a new pearl and disguise it as this one, and send what's left of this one for processing. Cheaper, too.”
“No,” Morganite said firmly. “The owner is adamant she wants to keep this one. And she will know if it's replaced.”
“I'm telling you, I can't do anything with this. It's too damaged. Anything I do will be purely cosmetic, and even that's not saying much. If it has any function at all, it's probably fried.”
“Please, at least try.”
Orthoclase rubbed her temples.
If I reroute the nacre channels....
No, it's beyond help.
But if I just cut some of the functions, it wouldn't need so much...
I'd be building it all over again, but worse.
Eighty thousand credits.
She glanced over at Pearl, who was standing in place serenely holding the bag with all of her operating tools.
“I'll try,” she said, after wrestling with herself once more. “But I can't promise anything.”
The Morganite looked so relieved she was on the verge of tears.
…..
It had probably been a very nice pearl, once. Nice clean palette, although all-white was a bit austere for some gems' liking. The two little buns on the side of its head were a cute whimsical touch, its owner was probably a young gem.
And looking at the mess that had been made of its internals, Orthoclase had to conclude it was a young gem. All gems could be careless but only the recently hatched were so callous. The pearl's inner channels were scrambled and full of knots, which meant its owner had pulled them out and pushed them back in again for some reason. They had to be individually removed, untangled and sewn back in.
As Pearl held out her arms to act as a bridge for the untangling process, Orthoclase put out her theories.
“Reverse engineering, maybe? Someone wanting to set up a distillery on the down low?”
“Unlikely,” Pearl said in response. “They would have started with the head.”
“That's if they knew what they were doing,” Orthoclase grunted, laying three arteries across Pearl's arms. “Which they clearly did not.”
“I agree.”
As they progressed down the pearl's body, Orthoclase hit a chunk of something and pulled it out with her forceps.
“Hm. Looks like a chunk of its gem,” she said, wiping the nacre from the jagged surface. “What's it doing in the stomach cavity?”
“Perhaps an attempt at fusing that went wrong?”
Orthoclase chuckled. Even the stupidest of gems knew pearls weren't capable of fusion. Still, it would account for the damage done to this pearl if some gem had decided to muck around and try to make two pearls fuse. Maybe it would have even outright destroyed the other one.
When it came to the pearls' finer motor and cognitive functions, most of the nerves that held those pieces together were snapped or fried. The part that controlled speech was black, and it crumbled when Orthoclase tried to remove it, careful as she was. She kept sneaking glances at Pearl, to see if she was in any way distressed. It was by far the most damaged pearl they had ever worked with.
But she seemed fine. Even covered in the other pearl's bleeding nacre, holding a network of body parts in her arms, she stared resolutely ahead, waiting to be of use.
“Huh,” Orthoclase said as they were just sewing things back in. “This doesn't look right...”
She tapped on the setting of the pearl's gem with her blade.
“There's no indent,” Pearl suggested.
“Exactly! It's like it's been bolted on...”
She prodded the gem a little more, and watched the pearl twitch in response. The gem felt loose. If it had been bolted on, it was a sloppy job. Gems shouldn't move when touched.
“That explains the eye, then,” Pearl said quietly.
Orthoclase hummed grimly in agreement. The eye was a lost cause completely. The current that ran from the pearl's gem through its body had burned the eye to a crisp, leaving scorched fissures in the eye socket and across the forehead. If the gem was supposed to be in the forehead, that wouldn't have happened.
“This isn't even a bad remodel job,” Orthoclase muttered. “Some stupid gem just decided to try and move their pearl's gem placement. What kind of slag-addled clod does a thing like that?”
…..
When she was finished, Orthoclase advised that the pearl was only capable of very basic tasks and should be replaced as soon as possible. The Morganite didn't seem disappointed in the job she had done, she gladly parted with the promised eighty thousand credits.
“You will speak of this to no-one,” she said before she closed the luger door on them.
“Who would I tell?” Orthoclase scoffed as they were driven away. “Who'd ever believe me that someone was stupid enough to try and move a pearl's gem?”
Pearl didn't respond. She stared at the blackened window until they were dropped at their meeting point. All the way back to the workshop, she didn't say a single word.
When she walked past all the schematic work she had yet to finish and past all of the tools she usually sterilized after an operation, straight to the back room of the workshop and under the table she'd first hidden under when Orthoclase removed her spike, Orthoclase let her go without comment. Clearly it had distressed her a lot more than she would ever let on.
Even Orthoclase herself couldn't suppress a shudder, thinking of the pearl's scorched eye and the fissures burned into its face.
What kind of gem would even think to do such a thing?

Book Review for The Belles by Dhonielle Clayton!
**THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS. Read a spoiler-free version of this review here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2879765274
**The TL;DR at the bottom of this review contains no spoilers I'm really tired so I don't know how well I'll be able to write a review right now but.... This book was amazing. I read this book in a whopping 2 days (which is insanely fast for me).
God, I'm so terrible at explaining what a book is about! So the book is about a world where everyone (except a few) is born grey. Those that don't turn grey are called Belles, and they can make others beautiful. They can change anyone's body into almost any shape and size they desire (within the bounds of the human body of course). Camellia is one of the few Belles who has been trained her whole life to make people beautiful.
The book opens with Camellia and her Belle sisters on their 16th birthday. They are about to start their new life by performing for the queen (and an enormous crowd) to determine where they will be placed. Camellia, like almost all of the Belles, wants to be the favourite. And she's prepared to work hard for it. This book hooked me in straight from the start.
The beginning of the book is super sugary sweet. I was taken aback because I just finished the Vampire Academy series and I spent months reading it. This book is so different from that. I don't think I've ever read such a tasty pastry of a book before. I can see it being a bit much for some people, but don't worry. The sugary goodness doesn't last long. We go from sweet naivety to growing uneasy to full-blown horror as the book progresses. The book does a complete 180 and I loved every second of it.
I haven't read The Hunger Games, I've only seen the movies. But right from the start, I found myself imagining all the people in the same getup as Effie Trinket, because that's basically how they're all described. It was pretty cool, not gonna lie.
I like how not everything magically falls into place for Camellia. She wasn't chosen as the favourite. I was really confused when I read the description of the book over again because it heavily implied that she would be the "chosen one". But she wasn't. She was second best, and I was really not expecting it. Almost every book I've read has been about the main character getting everything they want basically.
I really couldn't put this book down, it was so addicting. I had to know what was going to happen next. A couple of the major plot twists I saw coming but I didn't mind it at all. I don't mind guessing right :P
Thoughts on the villain: Thanks to one of the top reviewers for this book for completely spoiling who the villain is. You don't actually know for sure who the villain is until about halfway through the book, so cheers! Anyway, the villain is a psycho sadist who's very sick in the head. Imagine the most narcissistic and jealous person you can and times it by 10.
Thoughts on the romance: The love story here really resembles Frozen. We have super naive Anna (Camellia) falling in love with the first guy she sees: Hans (Auguste) and realizing that the guy she fell for was actually a villain deceiving her all along and starts to fall for the second guy she sees: Kristoff (Remy). Except Camellia hasn't quite fallen for Remy yet. But I'm pretty certain she will.
Thoughts on the LGBT characters in this book: My god, people will complain about anything. I see some people who are mildly upset that “the only LGBT character in this book was killed off to further the plot”. First of all, there is more than one LGBT character in this book. And second of all, the character’s sexuality had nothing to do with what happened to them. That’s just how it came together. Do you want the author to mess up the story just because you’re upset that an LGBT character died? Also, some were wanting more to come from the brief mention of a transgender person, but that isn’t what this story is about. If you want a full-fledged LGBT book, go read a proper LGBT book. I swear people complain more about partial representation in books than no representation at all. That’s not really encouraging authors to incorporate more LGBT characters into their books. Just be happy that normal representation is happening and stop bashing people for precisely HOW they represent them.
Thoughts on the ending: I feel like they should have taken Charlotte with them, even though it would have slowed them down. What's the point in waking her up if you're just going to leave her with Sophia. There is no one to stop her from sending her right back into a coma again, or worse. Later on, we find out that the princess has gone missing and somehow escaped the castle. That sounds pretty impossible to me not gonna lie. She just woke from a coma, she's not walking or running anywhere. And Sophia was about 2 seconds from breaking down that door, no time to hide her or anything like that. So I'm kind of curious to know what the story behind that will be in the next book. PS. Yay! We’re gonna get more Edel in the next book :D
Edit: why didn’t Sophia’s mother ever do anything about her daughter? She’s the queen, and she’d seen what terrible things her daughter was capable of for years. She could have sent her away. I’m still fairly certain that Sophia made her mother sick and later die. If Sophia has been sent away, perhaps none of this would have happened. Maybe she should go work for the Gris for a few years. That’ll teach her not to take all the things she already has for granted.
Also, in the beginning, the papers claim that one of the court ladies is addicted to beauty or whatever. Getting too many beauty transformations. But Sophia has the biggest beauty addiction of them all and no one seemed to comment on it. She couldn’t go a few HOURS without changing her look. Idk it just seemed weird to me.
Dhonielle did an amazing job with this book and I couldn't resist buying it when I was actually currently reading it for free haha.
TL;DR: -Very sugary sweet starting off but it doesn't last long -Not much romance (just a crush, really), and for once I didn't mind not having a lot of romance -A very well-done, truly chilling villain -Very dark underneath all the layers of beauty on the surface. -Addicting as hell -A couple of predictable things but it was still a very enjoyable book

but for a prompt....I would love a ficlet set in the "mix the bourgeoisie and the rebel" verse, maybe a few months/years after the end of the fic?
this is a good faith gesture that i do see your prompts and that i will write them, slowly but surely, over the course of the next few days. SO SEND ME ONE???? IN CELEBRATION OF ME REACHING 1K FOLLOWERS? ps if you’ve never seen the chandelier at the omnia club in vegas, you might want to find a video of it to understand this.
It’s not Beca’s idea. It never really is Beca’s idea, she’s pretty certain - one morning, she’s waking up with Chloe in her face talking a mile a minute about going on a trip to celebrate Emily’s album release, blah blah blah - Chloe’s not wearing a shirt and that’s a separate, exciting thing and so Beca nods along with what her girlfriend is saying in an attempt to move it along to the kissing. She doesn’t realize what she’s agreed to until almost two full days later, when Emily sends a picture of a little black dress and asks if it’s an appropriate length for a girls’ trip to Vegas, and Jessica is texting to ask if Omnia can have a set list so they can start programming the chandelier.
It’s a massive chandelier. She and Chloe get to Vegas first, on Chloe’s insistence - something about ambience and alone time, which Beca had read to mean more making out uninterrupted - and when they do, they get picked up by a private driver from Caesars, who does his very best not to stare at Chloe the whole time. There’s a VIP entrance and a way-too-expensive suite that’s been comped to her for performing, and yes, for sure, Chloe had definitely wanted to make out a lot.
Eventually, they make it out of their room and are shown the cavernous club, lights on and freezing. When the sound technicians start playing the setlist Beca had provided, and the chandelier starts glowing and moving, Chloe actually screams, nearly tearing Beca’s arm off she’s clutching it so hard.
“I need one of those,” Chloe says, and promptly begins taking a mass of pictures to send to Aubrey.
The next morning, Emily, Stacie, Aubrey, Jessica, and Ashley arrive, and Chloe spends all of lunch trying to explain to Aubrey about how the chandelier is a must-have for the next tour, that if she doesn’t have it or something like it, she’ll just die.
“Your girlfriend is insane,” Jessica mutters to Beca, as though she isn’t smiling at the admittedly over-the-top display of excitement as well. Emily hums in agreement, reaching for one of the weird oyster things someone had brought over as compliments of the chef. She throws it back and nearly spits it right into her champagne glass. Ashley pats her on the back as she chokes it down, chugging the bubbles to wash it out of her mouth. Beca resolves to not touch the oysters.
“Your girlfriend is insane,” Beca returns, grinning when Jessica rolls her eyes. “How much did Jesse complain about not getting to come when he drove you guys to the airport?”
“He complained the entire time,” Stacie offers. “Aubrey almost punched him.”
“I think it was definitely a punch,” Jessica says. “Legally, I think she’s dead to rights. He started crying.”
Stacie makes a mysterious humming noise, smiling and drinking her champagne, then reaching out for the oysters and not even puking. Emily sulks a little bit, and is only brightened when a waiter arrives with a new glass of champagne for her.
“Okay, so what’s the plan?” Emily asks, clapping excitedly. “You’re playing tomorrow night, right?”
“Have you seen the chandelier, Em?” Chloe asks, leaning halfway over the table to offer out her phone. Aubrey very gently reaches out to lower her hand and lower Chloe into her seat. “Right. I’ll show you later.”
“They comped us tickets to the Cirque du Solelil shows,” Jessica says, pulling out an itinerary at the same time Aubrey does. God, they are the worst together now that they’re friends. Beca should have never resolved to repair that relationship.
“And we’ve roped off time in the day to go gamble safely,” Aubrey continues. Chloe is pouting at Beca like it’s her fault that Chloe had been so consumed by the chandelier that they had been separated. Beca nearly jumps out of her skin when she feels the heeled toe of Chloe’s foot brush against her shin.
“Fat Amy is coming tomorrow, before the show,” Jessica says. Emily looks at Beca nervously. The last time Emily and alcohol and Amy had met, Emily hadn’t crawled out of bed for three days. Beca shrugs, distracted by the look on Chloe’s face as she drags her foot up and down Beca’s calf. “And then we’re going to probably get smashed and go to more clubs.”
“I would really like to go to this thing called TopGolf,” Ashely offers.
“Gay,” Chloe nods, like she doesn’t have her foot halfway into Beca’s chair. “I like it.”
“I have a meeting with Calvin tomorrow morning about my record progress,” Beca says. Chloe grins at her. “So we can’t get too smashed tonight, okay?”
“Speak for yourself,” Jessica mutters, passing out copies of their apparent itinerary. Beca frowns when she realizes its planned nearly to the minute.
“You’re supposed to go with me,” she says back, shoving at Jessica’s arm.
Jessica frowns.
-
“What the fuck?!” Jessica screams, raising her golf club up over her head and aiming to swing it down on the machine that’s tracking her scoring. Ashley manages to tackle her before she does it, grabbing her and wresting the club from her grip with some calming, nice, drunken words that turn way too quickly into kissing for Beca’s taste. Admittedly, Chloe is draped in her lap, singing along to the song playing over their sound system and tapping against Beca’s thigh to the beat. She probably shouldn’t be complaining, but she one hundred percent does, yelling at them to stop making out.
“Fuck you, Mitchell,” Ashley volleys back, and Beca flips her off, and Jessica looks like she might start crying.
Stacie, who has done more shots than any of the rest of them, gets off the couch as though sobriety was her middle name, reaching for her golf club and looking out over the field of holes. She swings - and she fucking nails a perfect shot, the ball rolling into the far hole with the kind of precision that Beca could dream of. God, how had Ashley managed to catch that?
“That’s my wife,” Aubrey yells, standing up victoriously and raising her arms as though Stacie’s massive TopGolf score is a life-changing accomplishment. Beca flips her off, too.
“Em, it’s you,” Beca says, reaching over to knock her hand at Emily’s knee. She’s been drunkenly stirring her drink for the last ten minutes, and it sloshes a little onto Beca and Chloe when she gets up.
She swings so hard that she throws her club onto the grass.
-
“I have a meeting in forty minutes,” Beca whispers, even as Chloe is in the middle of pulling her shirt up and over her head. “With my boss. Who you know.”
“Calvin won’t care if you’re late,” Chloe whispers back, her mouth somewhere down Beca’s stomach. It’s hard to tell, Beca’s eyes are closed.
“Right,” Beca says back. “Right. Okay.”
-
Fat Amy has accumulated a crowd of people watching her decimate the Roulette table. Chloe and Beca are sitting at the bar across from her table, Chloe fiddling with the video poker machine and cheering excitedly every time she gets a good hand and wins a dollar, and Beca is mostly just watching Fat Amy - because the kind of insanity that’s taking place needs to be watched. Emily is settled at the table as well, losing left and right, betting against Fat Amy’s very particular picks.
“Are we sure she didn’t load her own ball in there?” Beca asks, glancing over at her girlfriend, who has a Mariners hat pulled low over her eyes.
“Fat Amy’s rule is to never commit crimes unless there are people watching,” Chloe says, sticking out her tongue at the game when she loses fifty cents on her new hand. “So, no. Just lucky.”
“I wish I was that lucky,” Beca mutters, turning back around in her seat in time to see Chloe dial up her bet all the way to a dollar. “Wow, a big spender.”
“I know, right?” Chloe says, grinning and leaning towards Beca to press a kiss to her lips. “And you are already lucky babe. You’ve got me.”
-
It’s the loudest club she’s ever been in. She’s certain of it. When it had been empty, it hadn’t seemed so massive and capable of holding so many goddamn people. But there they all were, losing their minds to her music under the massive and insane chandelier that Chloe still hasn’t quite managed to shut up about it. She can’t really pick out their group - they’re up in the VIP level, she knows, but that’s hard to see when the lights are crazy and people are screaming and she’s having the biggest, most insane high she’s ever had off a crowd. How can people play this kind of club every Friday night?
When she finally gets offstage, sending the crowd away with a raucous remix of “Parade” that sets some people into hysterics, she finds the group hanging outside her little VIP lounge, and there’s a lot of squealing and yelling and she hears Ashley say, “I totally get the chandelier thing now.”
-
On their last night in Vegas, Chloe buys a cheap paper rose off some guy outside the Bellagio fountains and presents it to Beca with a shit-eating, beautiful grin. She’s not much better at dealing with her feelings than she was when she and Chloe started dating, but she knows enough to say I love you when Chloe hands it to her. Fat Amy is singing “Time to Say Goodbye” in anticipation of the fountains, clutching at Ashley like she’s a lifeline, and Stacie is talking to Emily over by the railing with a huge grin, her arm slung around her shoulders. Over by a tree, Jessica and Aubrey are gesturing at each other and whispering heatedly, Jessica holding the itinerary and Aubrey her phone.
Beca’s happy. That’s obvious. And it’s more obvious when Chloe kisses her, leaning in and pressing closer when the music starts up and a distinctive noise of water falling joins it.
She nearly gets shoved straight into the railing when someone shoulder checks Chloe, and Beca grabs ahold of her girlfriend by her hips and prepares to rip into whatever asshole needed so badly to see the show up close and personal that they felt like shoving a beautiful woman was the answer - but she watches as she realizes who it is, as Stacie suddenly moves back towards Aubrey and Benji is there, kneeling on the ground, and Emily is crying.
Beca is crying too, of course, but Chloe doesn’t mention it when she reaches up to wipe away the tears from Beca’s face.
-
“You planned that,” Beca says, staring suspiciously at her girlfriend as Chloe sings her way through the suite, throwing their clothes in a suitcase. “Benji.”
“Well, duh, silly,” Chloe says. She glances up at Beca, who’s sitting at the head of the bed and watching her. “Benji asked for a good way to propose.”
“And you helped him plan it,” Beca says. It’s sort of shocking to her, all of a sudden, how easily Chloe’s intertwined herself in Beca’s life, how she has lunches with Jesse every Thursday, how she helps Benji plan a proposal, how she loves Emily and hugged her for a full forty seconds after Emily and Benji had finally stopped making out.
“Don’t worry babe,” Chloe says, winking and sending a shock right through Beca’s bones. “I’ve still got plenty of ideas for my proposal.”
Beca blinks, as Chloe returns back to their packing, and she lets Chloe’s gentle voice wash through her as she sings her way through the silence. It’s like the moment after a lightning strike, in her heart. She has this. She’s got this, this beautiful, crazy girl who’s obsessed with a damn chandelier and for some reason thinks Beca is the coolest.
“Good,” she says, in response, probably way too late, but Chloe smiles at her like she’s already said yes, and then she’s climbing on the soft, soft bed, and then there’s kissing, and it’s all great, then.

To do a job is to work. The physical space in which one does a job is a workplace. Don’t you marvel at all the things you learn here? Anyway, I’m here to discuss three specific workplaces in movies, settings that have allowed for stories that range from melodrama to broad comedy. The workplace lends itself to a myriad of emotions, after all. We can sympathize, abhor, empathize and relate to all manner of workplace situations. My chosen workplaces all have Meryl Streep in common. You may already know who Meryl Streep is. but if you don’t suffice it to say that she is one of the greatest actors of all time – although I admit that saying that feels like saying air is the best thing we can breathe. Throughout her impressive career Ms. Streep has portrayed workers in workplaces numerous times and all have been memorable. I chose three that I find particularly compelling not only as individual characterizations, but also in comparison to each other. I shall begin with the Catholic Church.
As Sister Aloysius in DOUBT
As Miranda Priestly in THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA
As Karen Silkwood in SILKWOOD
Doubt (2008) – John Patrick Shanley, Director
Sister Aloysius Beauvier (Meryl Streep)
Title: Principal of St. Nicholas school in the Bronx
Employer: The Catholic Church
Few people in American society were immune to the changes that came about in the 1960s. Even those whose lives took place in hermetically sealed environs couldn’t escape the changes that were happening. One such person is Sister Aloysius, the severe principal of St. Nicholas school in the Bronx who, in 1964, doubts many things and many people.
Sister Aloysius is a traditionalist trained to live and work under strict rules, which are strengthened by a daily dose of rituals. As principal at St. Nicholas Aloysius is the letter of the law, unbending and unwilling to change. She is a hard woman who – although not devoid of heart – protests even the slightest advancement such as a pen and wears her bonnet like a harness. The Sister doubts everything – people’s character, people’s intentions and people’s capabilities. Some may even say Sister Aloysius is the model of the Catholic Church, its values and what it represented, old school religious doctrine with its uncompromising mores and authoritarian judgments. Then came the reforms of Vatican II, which were under way in 1964, when the story in john Patrick Shanley’s Doubt takes place. Lead by Pope John XXIII the Catholic Church was now intending to “be a part of the modern world, an entity wanting to engage, not condemn.” (Thomas Ryan) It’s only natural that Aloysius felt betrayed by her employers and her faith, a faith that dictated – up to this point – how she ruled her world and lived her life. The employee manual, if you will, had just been rewritten with no input whatsoever by Sister Aloysius. Her certain world is now rendered uncertain. All of this plays a role in how Sister Aloysius reacts when questionable behavior by a priest involves Donald Miller, the first black student to ever attend St. Nicholas school in the Bronx.
Being a Catholic school, the culture at St. Nicholas is very specific and under Sister Aloysius’ firm thumb rules cannot be deviated from. The chain of command is important. A nun who teaches should report any incident to Sister Aloysius who would then report anything serious to the Monsignor and on up to the Holy Father (aka The Pope). This is also a male dominated culture that permeates all mandates and decisions made by the Church. It’s made clear in Doubt that the word of a priest, for instance, would be valued more highly than that of a nun. It is also intimated that the sins of a priest might be overlooked easily and the misguided accusations of a nun judged harshly. We certainly know that the true positions of power within the Catholic Church, those who set policies and make rules, are all men. All of this plays a role in how Sister Aloysius reacts when questionable behavior by a priest involves Donald Miller, the first black student to ever attend St. Nicholas school in the Bronx.
One day Sister James (Amy Adams) mentions to Sister Aloysius that she has concerns about Donald Miller, a student in her class. Sister James is young, somewhat innocent – or certainly has a clean slate compared to Aloysius’ baggage – and is willing (and able) to give people the benefit of the doubt. When she tells Aloysius that she is concerned about Miller and his (perhaps) suspicious relationship with the school priest, Father Flynn (Philip Seymour Hoffman) the older nun immediately jumps to conclusions. In fact, it is the only thing she doesn’t doubt.
PS – This is not intended as a commentary on the film in general, but rather one on the “workplace” aspect of the movie. While both Adams and Hoffman give good performances in Doubt I can’t help but give a special shout out to Viola Davis whose performance as Donald Miller’s mother is so moving it permeates the entire movie despite it being a relatively small role. We don’t want to hear what Mrs. Miller has to say. We don’t want to know her reality, which means that what her son may be going through at the hands of a priest is preferable to the child’s alternative reality. What Mrs. Miller has to say is heart-breaking, it is the movie’s game-changer. I’ll leave you to doubt what you will from here.
Sister Aloysius, Sister James and Father Flynn
The Devil Wears Prada (2006) – David Frankel, Director
Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep)
Title: Editor-in-chief, Runway magazine
I now turn away from a woman whose power is limited by a repressive set of regulations and turn toward one on whose shoulders lies the responsibility of a global brand. In the highly competitive world of high fashion Miranda Priestly is top dog and queen of her domain. Ms. Priestly sets the rules, the tempo and everyone at Runway dances to her tune. The world Miranda has created is one where appearances matter as much as competence, where best behavior and best look are the basics. With demanding precision, an ice-cold voice and a look that can kill Priestly manages a team that scrambles to meet her expectations lest she be disappointed in them. She is invested in her job and expects everyone else to be as well. All the time.
The character of Miranda Priestly is said to be based on Anna Wintour, the formidable editor of Vogue whose nickname in the industry is “Nuclear Wintour.” While it’s easy to chuckle at that moniker it’s been traditionally true that many powerful, determined, capable women are referred to in a negative manner so I’m not buying into whether Wintour earned it. That said, Ms. Priestly does have what some may perceive as a less than kind demeanor toward her subordinates, making them squirm at every possible opportunity. And if she expects better, which she always does, and you disappoint she might give you an impossible task – like when she asks her assistant Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) to get copies of an unpublished Harry Potter manuscript. It’s through Andy, a recent journalism graduate who accepts the assistant job at Runway despite belittling fashion, that we get to know Miranda Priestly and her world. And yes, we immediately recognize that Miranda’s tough and yes, she holds no prisoners when things don’t go her way, but there is a lot to admire about her. To start she is the top in her field the world over, she can make or break a career with a look and works harder than anyone. If you can survive in Miranda’s world you too will be prepared for anything. That’s admirable. And in the end – without giving anything away – Miranda Priestly proves she can play hardball with the best of them in an industry that values youth and beauty above all things. She is indispensable.
The world depicted in The Devil Wears Prada is, according to Ginia Bellefante, former fashion reporter for The New York Times, “easily the truest portrayal of fashion culture since Unzipped,” Douglas Keeve’s 1995 documentary about designer Isaac Mizrahi. This movie illustrates how high stress and high fashion go hand-in-hand. And, I should add, makes a statement about women in the workforce as well. Not only do we see Miranda’s personal life suffer due to – we assume – her demanding career, but we witness Andy’s relationship worsen as she gets better at her Runway job, as she becomes more like Miranda.
I thoroughly enjoy Meryl Streep’s performance in The Devil Wears Prada. Every look, nuance and movement she makes is in character with confidence radiating – as it should – from a person who rules absolutely. This is best illustrated in the scene when Miranda puts Andy in her place with the cerulean sweater story. It’s simply one of the greatest Streep moments on film, in my opinion, and she’s had many. Don’t let a contemporary dramedy about fashion dissuade you. This is good stuff.
I’ll end with shout outs to Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt who are terrific in The Devil Wears Prada. They are in large part responsible for why it’s such an entertaining movie. Finally, a personal fashion anecdote. Years ago I worked at Liz Claiborne for a short time as an administrative assistant to a division VP and, um…let me just say I am not administrative assistant material. Every time one of the bosses asked me to bring them something my instinct was to reply, “why don’t you get it yourself?” Of course, I needed the job and did as asked, but I wasn’t happy about it. Still, I admired the people who worked there, passionate people who loved what they did, but I never understood that world and the fact that they could have four-hour meetings about buttons was mind-blowing. Unfortunately, I had to attend those meetings myself and was tasked with taking notes about a subject I not only knew nothing about, but didn’t understand or care about. I was very much the Andy Sachs of Liz Claiborne and there was no Meryl Streep to convince me about the importance of the history of buttons and how they ended up in my closet. In short, those meetings were boring as all hell and all the buttons looked the same to me aside from maybe a blue one being different from a green one. Yet, they were discussed to the minutest details for hours. Then one day, during one of those meetings, one of the VPs caught me making an extemporaneous note in the margin of my notebook, “please God, take me now.”
Miranda Priestly judging in her office
Silkwood (1983) – Mike Nichols, Director
Karen Silkwood (Meryl Streep)
Title: Factory worker at a plutonium processing plant
Employer: Kerr-McGee
From the formidable Miranda Priestly I turn my attention to Karen Silkwood, a hero made so by her ordinariness and a will to tell the truth.
Meryl Streep’s performance as Karen Silkwood is one of my favorites. Known for becoming the characters she plays, Streep completely disappears into Karen Silkwood, the Oklahoma woman at the center of Mike Nichols’ extraordinary 1983 film. The movie is based on the true story of a woman who comes to believe she and her co-workers are being exposed to unsafe levels of radiation at their processing plant. As a result of sounding the alarm against safety conditions Silkwood quietly becomes a union activist and is ultimately used by both sides of the argument. Meanwhile, we are exposed to the raw story of the woman who represents the American working class and who is powerless against the uncontrollable forces that affect the workers.
The story of Silkwood is told so truthfully and the characters are so fully realized that it feels as though you’re watching a documentary. At the beginning of the movie Karen Silkwood is just another cog in the wheel, as is the case (I imagine) for most factory workers in the country. We see the workers punching clocks, doing their work automatically and the apparent camaraderie leads us to believe everyone fits in, they feel at home. As the story progresses, however, we see Kerr-McGee is not an ideal place to work. The bosses are strict about time off, everyone is putting in more hours than they should and are met with little compensation. In fact, corners are being cut and because of that it soon comes to light that the health of the workers are at risk.
Karen Silkwood fights back as any average person might do, she begins to attend union meetings and becomes one of the spokespersons for the workers. Interestingly, she is not met with support and gratitude when she is vocal about Kerr-McGee falsifying safety tests. Many of these workers are angry, they don’t want to lose their jobs or have the spotlight shined on them. This, even after seeing the brutality with which the workers are treated if the plutonium alarm should go off as they leave the work space. It is a dehumanizing process that tells all there is to know about a workplace like Kerr-McGee. Indeed, it’s difficult to watch what came to be known as the “Silkwood shower,” where the worker is forced to disrobe before he/she is scrubbed until the skin is raw. This happened to Karen Silkwood as punishment for her activism, which should have outraged everybody, but instead leaves her high and dry with no union support and no co-worker willing to stand by her. That is the tragedy depicted in Silkwood. This is not a movie about dangerous leaks or conspiracies. Silkwood‘s power comes from the tragedy of a single life, which could be anybody’s.
Karen Silkwood at Kerr-McGee
Also in Silkwood are Kurt Russell and Cher, both delivering memorable performances as does the entire cast of supporting players. The movie is also masterfully directed by Mike Nichols.
I could’ve chosen any number of movies to comment on from Meryl Streep’s filmography, but for some reason these three came to mind immediately. I think they illustrate her extraordinary talent as well as any other triple feature with the added benefit of allowing discussion on three very different workplaces.

Naruto Episode 7, 8 and 9 Review
Enter the cowprint ninja and his boomerang blade of doom.
Review of Naruto Episode 7, 8 and 9: The Assassin of the Mist! The Oath of Pain! And Kakashi: Sharingan Warrior
ArachCobra
So we start out with our intrepid crew being rowed to the Land of Waves through the fog. We get some exposition about Gato, who's a very small colossal asshole and how he has broken the land. The Tazuna emotionally blackmails three teenagers and a grow man into risking their lives for him, despite the fact that they're only here because he lied in the first place. You're so sympathetic, Tazuna.
Yes, I know it's a joke. Doesn't make it funnier or any less dickish.
So then they arrive and start going through the forest, with Naruto scowling at Sasuke all the way, thinking about how cool he is and how he'll prove himself better. At this point, he's moments away from pulling his dick out and yelling: “LET'S MEASURE THEM!”
So then to prove how badass he is, Naruto runs ahead and stars attacking random shrubbery, just to prove how on guard he is.
You see, Naruto isn't very smart.
Then he almost murders a rabbit. He's so apologetic that he starts rubbing the rabbit all over himself. It's weird.
Then Kakashi realizes that the rabbit is white and must have been saved from winter to be used for substitution. Which raises some questions. Like, does ninjas have to prepare materials for substitution? If yes, does that mean Kakashi has a stack of logs somewhere? And if no, why would anyone bring a rabbit when there's probably a thousand less suspicious objects in a forest?
Then Zabuza throws his sword at them like a Frisbee. I have no idea how he manages, but it looks stupid. It slices into a tree and he just materializes on top of it so he can look all dramatic.
Now, before I continue, I actually do like Zabuza. I like his second outfit better than the cow-print and I do think his intro is silly. But as a villain, I like him. Unfortunately, Zabuza is a severe victim of being off-model these episodes. At one point, his torso is stretched, in another his pants have been pulled up to his nipples and in one shot, it looks like he broke his neck just so he could glare at our protagonists from under his armpit.
Anyway, Naruto takes one look at this guy who's build like four brick outhouses stacked together and made from pure muscle, wielding a sword that's bigger than he is and just goes: “Yeah, I can take him.”
You see, Naruto is a bit of an idiot.
Kakashi has to point out that no, he can't take Zabuza on and reveals his right eye. We are informed that its a sharingan. It apparently allows you to see very well. So the fighting begin and fog envelops the area.
Now, we're informed that Zabuza is the master of the silent kill technique. So of course, he start yapping about all the ways you can kill a man. The tension of it all gets to Sasuke, who's having a surprising moment of vulnerability. That ends with him wanting to kill himself. Yeah, maybe that's a tad bit too vulnerable. Anyway, it's okay, Kakashi comforts him.
Then Zabuza gets ready to kill them all.
But then Kakashi appears and kills Zabuza.
But it was just a water clone and Zabuza appears and kills Kakashi.
But it was just a water clone and Kakashi appears and stops Zabuza.
But it was just a water clone and Zabuza appears and kicks Kakashi in the stomach.
Then things get a little weird. I think what happens is that Kakashi, while being kicked in the lake, drops some caltrops. Zabuza then stops in front of them and spends some time talking about how Kakashi thought he could delay him with the caltrops, thus being delayed by the caltrops by talking about how the caltrops aren't delaying him. Then he backflips into the lake and catches Kakashi, who's spend all this time floating like a rubber duck, in a bubble.
Then he summons another water clone to attack the crew, which it does with gusto. Naruto tries to flee, but then sees his own bandaged hand and remember he swore to never give in, never surrender. And therefore, he has to fight the musclebound blademaster goliath that is Zabuza.
Point actually goes to Sasuke here. He also realizes they have to fight. But his reason is much smarter. That without Kakashi, Zabuza will just hunt them down and then kill them.
Sakura yells warning and occasionally she and Tazuna groans like they decided to spend their off-screen time vigorously banging each other.
Anyway, Naruto charges Zabuza and then gets the shit kicked out of him. But he got his headband back, so it's all cool.
Then he and Sasuke performs this actually pretty clever strategy. Naruto jumps him with some clones of his own, transforms into a giant shuriken, passes it to Sasuke, who throws both it and his own big shuriken(Not sure when he got one of those, but whatever), forcing Zabuza to catch one and jump over the other, only for Naruto to transform back and throw a kunai, so Zabuza has to let go of the prison and let Kakashi go free to avoid getting an impromptu lobotomy.
As I said, this is actually a very clever strategy that, for the most part, utilizes the skills we've seen and gives a believable way that the characters can outmatch Zabuza, without negating everything we know about Zabuza.
But here's the problem.
This entire combo relies on Naruto and Sasuke being so in sync that they can concoct and perform such a strategy without communicating.
Bull.
Fucking.
Shit.
Those two have shown nothing but scorn for each other so far. The most teamwork we've seen was in the bells test. There's no way they've fought enough together to be able to pull that off. And don't tell me their rivalry allows them this insight. They've barely interacted with each other. Maybe if they had fought with each other for years, I could buy it, but here, no way.
Anyway, Kakashi gets free and him and Zabuza attack each other simultaneously by spending half a minute chanting and then summoning water dragons to bite each other.
I'm unsure how that technique would be useful in battle, but okay.
Then they clash in melee. You'd expect this to be a tense battle where Kakashi would have to use all his acrobatic skills to avoid Zabuza's superior reach and power.
Instead, Kakashi blocks Zabuza's blade with his own dinky kunai and then they stand there pressing against each other while grunting. It's kinda lame to be honest.
Kakashi then wages a campaign of psychological terror against Zabuza and overwhelms him, smashing him through the forest with a water spout. It's actually pretty cool. But just as he's about to finish the swordsman off, he gets needled in the throat. The swordsman, that is.
A masked ninja shows up and says he's been hunting Zabuza for going rogue.
And then Naruto gets super pissed that someone that young could be that much more powerful and skilled than him, yelling about why are they there and that they don't know anything. Rarely is Naruto this much on point.
And then Kakashi faints.
All in all, an enjoyable battle with some issues. Sakura feels completely superfluous, but I suppose somebody did have to guard Tazuna, just in case.
Givenea
Let’s just start at the beginning of episode 7, shall we. The gang is in a boat on the final stretch of the journey to the Land of Waves, and Tazuna finally comes clean about everything, from his reason for lying about the assignment to just how much danger they will be in. This is where Kakashi actually sounds like the leader of the inexperienced team he has, as he contemplates if they can handle it.
BUT FORGET ABOUT THAT, before anything can come of this, can even be properly discussed, Tazuna guilts them into continuing by saying his family will be sad if he dies. Then he turns to the camera, holds up two fingers, sends us the most shit-eating grin and proclaims “I win” in an almost singsong voice.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS ASSHOLE???!!!
Anyway… once ashore, they run into the terrifying rogue-ninja Zabuza Momoji, who traps Kakashi in a bubble, forcing Naruto and Sasuke to enact a daring and complicated plan to save him, while Sakura… does her job and protects their client???
Okay, I’m just gonna put this here… SAKURA NEEDS TO BE UTILIZED MORE! SHE NEEDS SOMETHING TO DO!
Anyway, Naruto’s plan involves him attacking Zabuza, then making a bunch of clones and attacking again, to disguise that he has turned into a giant shuriken, which one of his clone tosses to Sasuke, who pairs it with his own giant shuriken (PS. He has one of those) and tosses both at Zabuza who catches one and jumps over the other. But uh-oh, the second shuriken was Naruto, who now transform back and throws a kunai at Zabuza’s face, forcing him to let go of the bubbled Kakashi, who breaks free.
Naruto then explain that the purpose of the plan was always to free Kakashi and that he only had to toss the Naruto-shuriken at Sasuke for him to be completely in on everything.
Sakura then declares Naruto and Sasuke the perfect team.
And… I don’t buy it… Nope… Not even for a second… Na-ah…
Naruto and Sasuke has up to this point never communicated really. Naruto has whined that Sasuke is too cool for him to keep up with and thrown a few insults. Sasuke has ignored Naruto, aside from a few times where he has mocked him.
So, I don’t believe, not even the tiniest little bit, that they are capable of this level of understanding and teamwork.
This scene comes too early for that. If this was the season finale and we had seen them train and grow and learn together for some 20 episodes, seen them develop a begrudging respect, as they fought together and got used to each other’s different strategies and fighting styles, then sure.
Here… It’s just stupid, go back to square one and try again.
Fluttersniper13
There was the boatman who said he couldn't take them all the way, but he clearly almost did and then the forest of boredom, and then Zabuza show up with his boomerang blade of doom. And his amazing silent kill technique of never shutting the fuck up and taking way too fucking long to do anything. Sakura is useless, Naruto is useless, Sasuke is useless. Tazuna just stand their gormless and Kakashi look like he wants to be anywhere but here. Then dragons out of nowhere, tsunami and needle to the throat. Naruto says some stupid shit and Kakashi decides to take a nap. The end.

We've actually managed to get it down to 1,300 fully comp with Tesco (Third party quote was higher for some reason?) but I still find this to be a lot considering we are both 24 and my partner has 4 years no claims and has been driving for 5 years and I have been driving for 3 years.

Will Hillary's Plans to End the War and Create an Affordable Health Plan Work?
Hilary thinks things through. She's pragmatic and capable of modifying things to work in an evolving world. She understands the give and take of a complex economy and her goal is to restore peace and prosperity; unity and pride. Whenever I hear an Obama supporter claim Obama will end the war or deliver a health insurance plan that works I think -- Don't bet on it. Obama tries to copy Hillary, but doesn't understand the complexities at the level she does, not does he seem consistent about anything. He's also more in the pocket of Special interests than Hillary -- though he denies that all the time -- not good. I have utmost confidence that Hillary is brilliant and dedicated and knows how to create solutions that work.

Then two weeks late I get a speeding ticket in a small district which I took care of myself right away and now taking a defensive driving course to clear it from my record. I now get news that the first ticket I obtained couldnt be cleared by my attorney and that I have to do defensive driving for the stop sign which I cant because I am already taking it and do deffered ajudification for my insurance which I had even though it was not present at the time. The question I have is, will my insurance ticket be dismissed if I show proof that I indeed had it at the time and would I be able to do deffered ajudification for the stop sign fine instead?

Its liberty mutual, just curious how much itll increase per year since im young. i wasn't cited, no injuries.""

Isn't the expected value of health insurance for a healthy purpose going to be highly negative?
And so, it might be unwise for a healthy person to purchase health insurance on the individual open market? First, we have the insurance companies as a profit-taking industry. They exist to make money. So obviously they take in more premiums than they pay out for medical expenses. Right off the bat, we have a negative expected value for the buyers of health insurance. In other words, you should expect that the premiums you pay to the health insurance company will be more than the benefits you get back, on average. But on top of that, for a HEALTHY person, the difference would be even greater. Since your risk is grouped together with the risk of more unhealthy people (obese, smokers, etc), you're basically subsidizing their insurance. So the difference between your premiums and the expected benefits you get back is even more. It seems like a very fit, health-conscious person is really taking it on the chin by buying health insurance in the individual market. Maybe they'd often be better off by just building up a health savings account and self-insuring?""

Where can I find average sale prices for cars?
I'm looking to find a website that will give me the average sale price for cars. NOT looking for blue book value. The reason why is my car (2000 infiniti g20) just got totaled and my insurance company will only give me the price I would get if I were to sell it on the market . An autobody owner, an auto insurance rep, and a car dealer all say that I should be getting more than the $3,800 my insurance company is offering (including sales tax!), but say that I should get some data online to have a convincing case that I could get more. The blue book value is around $4900-5200. I'm looking for a website with either charts or simply figures that give average sale prices for certain vehicles. Thanks!!!""

Insurance premium increase?
I was involved in a fender bender where no party admitted fault. Other persons insurance company went to arbitration against my insurance company to recover their loss. Arbitration Panel decided in our favor i.e. I am not at fault hence need not pay the damages. Total loss amount listed by other party was $800. My car did not have any damage worth repairing. (Also, I am lazy and passive enough to not pursue too hard for a minor dent.) After arbitration settlement other person filed a lawsuit against me in small claims court. I was pretty sure that a judge cant do anything after arbitration. To my surprise judge assessed that out of $800 - $250 was the deductible paid by other person. Prior Arbitration did not include that amount hence he can adjudicate on this $250. He adjudicated against me for $250 + legal fee. Judge also told me that I need not worry about this money as my insurance will pay for it. (Most ridiculous judge and judgment I have ever seen, but thats a separate matter) I called up my insurance company. They are willing to pay this amount. My question is will making them pay increase my insurance premium. I have a pretty clean record with no at-fault accidents. I pay about $1000 per year for two cars in WA state.

""Oops, she was driving a stolen car without insurance?""
Looking for some advice. Someone I know was caught driving a stolen vehicle. She did not know the vehicle was stolen. Her passenger was claiming to be the new owner of the vehicle. He picked her up and was impaired so she insisted to drive, as she did not want to be driven around by a drunk guy. She was pulled over. Being pulled over was not the result of a violation, just pulled over because the truck came back as stolen. She is a responsible driver who was actually at the time a Driving instructor. She and the passenger were arrested for the stolen vehicle. At the police station both her and the guy (jerk) both stated that she did not know the truck was stolen. She was released without charges to do with the theft of the vehicle. She was however ticketed for driving without insurance. What can she do? At the time she did have her own vehicle and her own insurance policy. She has never had a ticket, accident or a criminal charge. She is in her 30's. This happened in Alberta Canada. Please no responses like get a lawyer obviously she is going to do that. I am more interested in, if she is found guilty what is the potential fine, is there any chance her car insurance would cover her in another vehicle, and so forth.""

Health insurance in NY state for pregnant women?
I just graduated with a bachelors degree, and my student health insurance runs out in August. The health insurance offered by my husbands job (which won't open up to me until Jan.1 anyway) considers pregnancy a pre existing condition, and won't cover it. We have been searching for affordable plans, but the only ones we have found that will cover pregnancy aren't accepted in New York state. For all the plans offered in NY that we've been able to find, none cover pregnancies in progress. I would hate to have to use the state provided health care plan for pregnant mothers (mostly because I feel like there is no reason for me to be part of a government program when we are capable of paying for our own insurance, but also because it means we have to go to specific clinics and I won't be able to keep my doctor), but there is no way we will be able to cover all the costs of a birth, especially if for some reason I need a C-Section or the like. Can anyone give me some advice, especially as it relates to the NY state health plan for pregnant women?""

When custody get's switched over, I'm no longer covered by my mother, and my dad doesn't have his own plan. Since no one can afford 700 dollar bills every time I get a sore throat or tooth ache, what the hell should I do? Advice PLEASE.""

Car insurance please help me out?
Oh right lol my query is as follows .. In July 2012 my daughter took out a pay monthly insurance policy with close premium 139 per month which was paid from my bank account every month on time for 12 months. When due for renewal August 2013 the insurance company sent her a quote saying payments were 168 per month! In view of this she decided not to insure her car and didn't use it. Shortly afterwards she receives a letter from close premium saying Hastings insurance could cover her for 100 per month but she never accepted this offer. In September 2013 Hastings took payment from my account so I contacted bank and recalled the payment. She now has a recovery agency acting on behalf of Hastings claiming she owes 400 . I can't see how she owes this money ? Do we have to pay this when we never accepted the policy and close premium passed on my bank details without my knowledge ? ( hope this makes sense)

How can the government force us to buy health insurance?
I don't get how people aren't more upset about this. I don't want to have to pay for health insurance. I go to local clinics when I get sick and I pay my bills.

Why does my car insurance quotes do this.....?
when I first passed my test 3 years ago at age 17 my insurance was almost 6000 for third party only on a ford fiesta. this was the rough price for this make/model on all insurance companies i got a quote from. Two weeks ago i did a quote for a fiesta hoping its reduced in price (three years later, havent drove since i passed my test ) and third party only was roughly 2000 with all companies i tried and FULLY COMP has been roughly 900-1000 with all companies i have recently tried. so why is fully comp alot more cheaper than third party only? I Have tried quotes with lots of different companies and gocompare and they all came up really cheap. However, today I done another quote on a fiesta I was hoping to buy today, and the quotes have come up at between 1800 and 3000. All details have always been the same- all quotes i have done have been on a 1.2 ford fiesta. so firstly why is FULLY COMP cheaper than THIRD PARY and why has my insrunce suddenly gone from cheap to expensive within the last few days? thanks""

Why Health Insurance?
Health insurance companies can't cure anyone, prevent any disease, develop new treatments or create better medicines. Yet they take a cut of your health care dollar, create endless paper, interfere with doctors and enrich shareholders. They can all be replaced by software. BESIDES, hospital care and physician services are not random risks, they are a certainty for everyone at some point of their life. They are also preventable or can be protected against. It doesnt make sense to insure against a non-risk. You may as well have PhD insurance just in case your kid decides to get a PhD! Tell me why heath care is an insurable risk. Tell me why it's not an essential social service like K-12 education.""

At fault driver's car insurance won't pay for my damages!?
Hey guys and gals, My wife was in a car accident on 10/8 driving our truck with liability only insurance (IE: not full coverage because the truck is only worth ~$3000 and it's paid for). She was turning right and had slowed down to turn (with her turn signal on) when a speeding truck slammed into the van behind her, ramming the van in to our truck. The police filed a report, in which the driver of the speeding truck (an 18 year old kid, that had just left his house less than 1/4 mile away) was determined to be at fault. It is worth note that this happened in front of two different auto body shops, and within sight of the house the at fault driver had just left. Their insurance company, state farm, finally contacted us on 11/8 after not returning our phone calls for nearly two weeks saying they had determined he was in fact at fault and would send an adjuster the following Monday. He came, inspected the truck, determined it was repairable, then said we would hear from their office later that day. When they called they told us the damage was more than 75% of the vehicles worth so it was considered total and they would send the required paperwork to my email address to begin payment. Within 3 hours, the claim agent we had talked to the previous Friday said an owner of one of the auto shops had came forward (all of a sudden, no mention of a witness before) and that he had a notarized statement saying the van struck our vehicle before the truck struck the van. The insurance company now will not pay us for the damages. We tried to call the witness and get a copy of his report because State Farm would not give us the copy. Then we called the other auto body shop and both the owner and one of his employees both seen the accident and say that the truck was at fault, and the owner overheard the driver say specifically that it was his fault. When we bring this to the agents attention, she claims this is not evidence because they know the at fault driver. We found out that the first witness also knows the driver, but can't prove it. Ours is a small town, you don't have neighbors that you don't know or speak to. It seems we are at an impasse, and I have been without a truck for nearly 6 weeks. What should I do in this instance? Get an attorney? Our insurance agency is adamant about not intervening since we did not have full coverage insurance. It may be worth noting that my wife has had back and neck pain since the accident and went to the hospital the day of the accident, the family doctor twice since, and has an appointment with a chiropractor next week (all of which our insurance has paid for.)""

How I Created My Dream Life…
It’s January 2011.
I’m living in a town called Leon, in Nicaragua, a small country just North of Costa Rica.
The weather is perfect, the food is incredible, and the people are the happiest I’ve ever met.
I just learned Spanish (in 2 weeks!) and I’m surfing, boxing and dancing salsa every single day.
There is somebody preparing all my meals, I live near the beach, and I’m paying only $150/month for all of this.
It’s my dream life. In every single way.
How did I get here?
How did I go from struggling so much in Canada…
To being able to enjoy everything that I ever wanted? (in such a short time)
The answer is simple.
I learned to follow my Heart.
I learned to trust my Inner Guidance.
And I learned how to not let my mind, fear, or what other people think about me… stop me from what want in my life.
I was willing to let go of the idea of how my life “should look” based on the societal pressures or “norm”.
I was willing to stop chasing money, and I learned that real happiness comes from something that no money can ever buy…
Because True Success is gauged not by how much money you have but how much joy you have in your heart in every moment.
When you start to prioritize your JOY over anything else…
You’ve learned the secret to creating the life of your dreams.
Don’t let materialism or the idea of what you “should” be doing with your life control you.
It’s time to stop caring about what other people think about you and to start prioritizing above all what is most important to YOU.
So, the question is…
What IS most important to you?
What kind of life would you really like to live?
And what do you think is holding you back from that..?
Stop.
Sit and ask yourself those questions.
. .
Whatever your answer is…
No matter how “real” you believe the obstacle is…
It is an illusion.
Because there is truly NOTHING stopping you from creating the life that is most important to you.
I know it’s easy for the mind to disagree.
But slow down…
Take a deep breath.
Really feel into what I am saying.
You are Infinite Potential Source Energy manifest into physical form.
You are not a human with a soul, but a soul, having a physical experience.
You are capable of truly anything that you want in your life.
The Nature of your Being is infinite, endless, and beyond all measure.
It is time for you to return to this deep understanding.
Not just so you get these words from the mind.
But so you can experience this Truth.
Mother Ayahuasca… does exactly this.
She can show you so deeply, Who You Really Are.
Not just as something you understand from the mind, or words that you read on a monitor…
But so you can have this experience first hand.
To deepen the connection with your True Self.
And when you do…
When you understand the Source of Your Infinite Nature.
You start to see… that the illusions or obstacles that you thought were in your way… were exactly that: Illusions.
And taking action, stepping forward into what you really want in life becomes so simple. Easy. Almost automatic.
Because you see…
You are capable of anything.
And why live anything else other than the life that you really want?
These are the deep insights that Mother Ayahuasca can teach you and show you…
So join us.
Come to Peru.
It’s time to stop letting the mind or fear get in the way.
And time to really move forward on the life that you want most.
It starts by shifting your belief that it IS possible.
We’ll talk again soon!

How I Created My Dream Life…
It’s January 2011.
I’m living in a town called Leon, in Nicaragua, a small country just North of Costa Rica.
The weather is perfect, the food is incredible, and the people are the happiest I’ve ever met.
I just learned Spanish (in 2 weeks!) and I’m surfing, boxing and dancing salsa every single day.
There is somebody preparing all my meals, I live near the beach, and I’m paying only $150/month for all of this.
It’s my dream life. In every single way.
How did I get here?
How did I go from struggling so much in Canada…
To being able to enjoy everything that I ever wanted? (in such a short time)
The answer is simple.
I learned to follow my Heart.
I learned to trust my Inner Guidance.
And I learned how to not let my mind, fear, or what other people think about me… stop me from what want in my life.
