Thank you @paperbagedhead for this. I barked out a laugh. Scared my cat. Needed this after watching this wonderful and beautiful movie.

Please go watch this movie, it's beautiful and much much sweeter than how I'm depicting it I swear!

(IDOLiSH7) Torao Mido - An Idol's Daily Life Rabbit Chat: Part 4 - Preview screening with ŹOOĻ

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5

Tsumugi Takanashi: Good work today! I received some pound cake from Inumaru-san earlier.

Tsumugi Takanashi: He mentioned it was a thank-you present for the refreshments the other day and that you helped him pick it out. Thank you so much for going out of your way to do this...!

Torao Mido: He asked me for a shop that sells sweets you might like, so I just gave him a recommendation. It’s no big deal.

Torao Mido: It’s from a shop that’s also in our hotel, so I can vouch for the taste.

Tsumugi Takanashi: I've always wanted to try it; I'm really happy! It's a really popular place, so I wasn't able to buy any before...!

Tsumugi Takanashi:

Tsumugi Takanashi: By the way, did you both manage to get home safely after you picked up Inumaru-san?

Torao Mido: Yeah, there was no problem. He was humming happily for a bit, then he fell asleep right away.

Tsumugi Takanashi: Mido-san's driving must've been really comfortable.

Tsumugi Takanashi:

Torao Mido: Even so, I don’t want to do it again. Driving around a drunk guy isn't exactly my idea of fun.

Torao Mido: Well, I did get a thoughtful thank-you gift this time, so I guess I don't mind.

Tsumugi Takanashi: What did you get?

Torao Mido: Tickets to an upcoming American comic movie event in Tokyo. He got two, so he invited me to go with him.

Tsumugi Takanashi: Wow, that’s wonderful! I heard they’ll be showcasing the actual props used in the movie, and that a famous director will be visiting!

Torao Mido: You sure know a lot. So you were aware of the event too, huh.

Tsumugi Takanashi: Yes! Mitsuki-san is into it as well, and he was really happy to get tickets. I heard they were really hard to get.

Torao Mido: It’s a popular series. It’s common for these events to be held overseas, and since it’s rare for it to take place in Japan, I guess the demand was really high.

Tsumugi Takanashi:

1) Have you always liked American comic movies?

Torao Mido: Pretty much. I get why those action-packed stories of good versus evil are so popular. The huge production budgets make for impressive, large-scale films.

2) What do you like about American comic movies?

Torao Mido: The action is really powerful. It's a spectacle to watch on the big screen. Also, I think there are many who admire the protagonist's determination to stick to their beliefs despite facing challenges and dilemmas.

3) Do you also collect merchandise?

Torao Mido: Yeah, buying pamphlets and such is a must. It seems that plush toys are also popular lately, and, yeah, I do often see women taking photos with plush toys in front of the movie theater banners.

Torao Mido: What kind of movies do you usually watch?

Tsumugi Takanashi: I enjoy watching movies featuring animals, but I also make sure to check out other popular films that are being talked about!

Tsumugi Takanashi: The other day, I went to see a movie featuring Natsume-san.

Torao Mido: Ah, the one with the androids, right? We also attended the preview screening for it. It was a movie worth watching.

Torao Mido: The CGI technology was impressive, and I could feel the director's attention to detail when it came to the psychological depiction.

Tsumugi Takanashi: Yes, truly… The scene where Natsume-san, playing the emotionless android, sheds tears for the first time after the professor's death was so poignant…!

Tsumugi Takanashi: I couldn't help but cry in the theater > <

Torao Mido: Minami's performance was remarkable. The way his seemingly emotionless expression gradually softened as the story progressed gave me goosebumps.

Torao Mido: Knowing him, he probably calculated every detail, from the movement of his gaze to the way his lips moved when speaking.

Tsumugi Takanashi: You could really sense the gradual emergence of emotions. I can't forget the look of happiness on Natsume-san's face when he smiled for the first time in the movie…

Torao Mido: Haruka said the same thing. He said that even if the movie's over, he's still going to remember it and feel like crying every time he sees Minami's face.

Tsumugi Takanashi: I get what he means. Even now, when I see Natsume-san on TV, I'm moved by how expressive he has become since then...

Torao Mido: You're dwelling on the movie too much.

Torao Mido: Well, it really was that good, so I understand your sentiment.

Torao Mido: I bet Minami would be happy if you told him.

Tsumugi Takanashi: I'll be sure to summarize my thoughts and impressions and send him a Rabbit Chat text!

End of Part 4.

[waitmyturtles]

Oh my EFF, where DO I START. Moonlight Chicken, episode 7 thoughts and impressions. But first, a question for the family:

Did any of you notice the filming style slightly change during the condo/living room scene with Jim and Wen (after Jim put on the chicken shirt), and the second scene with Jam and Li Ming, when they’re eating the ginger stir-fry? In both scenes, I noticed that the camera pans were a bit more fast/jerky between characters, and that Jim and Jam (#jimjam) were filmed from the chest up. I wish I knew more about cinematography, but it seemed to me that the other shots throughout the show were wider and taller. I don’t know if this means anything to anyone, but if it does, I would love to hear thoughts on it. I feel like the shooting style gave those scenes some kind of different old-school flavor. 

1) JUST GAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH WHY IS THIS SHOW SO GOOD. Sorry for the yelling, but now I know, I KNOW, full-bodied, there is no way one post is enough for each of these episodes, so just expect a whole freaking unspooling over the weekend. ANYWAY. I’ll try to organize the quick thoughts first, then the deep thoughts.

2) Just get First and Khao together again already! They can’t help their chemistry to be ridiculously great. AND HOW GOOD IS FIRST. HOW GOOD IS HE. Just knowing when to fume just slightly, when to pull back for the sake of a scene. AND HOW GOOD IS KHAOTUNG. God. His crying! It took me OUT. Tears over here, streaming tears.

3) Speaking of hearts aching, I cried not only during the funeral scene because of Khao, but because I love this now-repeating motif that Aof uses of bringing a song that’s sung in the show as music for the background of the show, à la Bad Buddy. To think of every step of art to weave into a drama to keep you fully connected -- it’s really beautiful to me.

4) Mark/Leng with his UCLA jacket, what up, Cali, cute cute. (By the way, I’m missing View/Praew. She was incredible in 10 Years Ticket, and I think she could have lent her brilliance to MC. I’m going to add The Shipper to my list for First/Ohm/View.)

5) The continued motif of showing the cast participating in time-honored spiritual rituals. As sad as it sounds, I love funeral scenes and the way a temple brings together a community. Even Wen working at the temple -- it’s very real (at least at the Indian/Asian funerals I saw as a kid) to basically have a lot of the funeral feel like a community get-together.

6) Heart joining Li Ming to hand out drinks at the temple just messed me up. It messed me up good. When the young adults automatically help out at events without being told by their parents. It means a lot in Asian societies. 

7) Deeper thoughts. @wen-kexing-apologist hit on this in their BEAUTIFUL POST about the show being centered on parent-child relationships. There’s a lot here in this episode, I may not get to it all. 

Here’s how I’d break it down (and this post by @justafriend-ql covers so much so well):

a) Jam comes back after years of not seeing Li Ming b) Li Ming is OBLIGATED, by UNSPOKEN CULTURAL RULES, to continue to respect her as a parent c) Li Ming, clearly, wants fucking none of it d) Li Ming/Fourth EMANATES distaste for what he’s dealing with  e) Li Ming STILL has to control himself around his mom who moved him aside to live her life f) He has to ALSO DEAL with his uncle, who (yes, hypocritically) (but also hypothetically) asks him why he’s gay g) So Li Ming has to also deal with his uncle’s internalized homophobia and old-fashioned views on gays in society, which may very well arise in part from his upbringing in rural Isaan h) Jim has to also deal with his sister’s guilt over not having been a mom, and her trying to sort of half-heartedly show up (until the last scene with them, which I think was meant as a symbol that there might be healing happening among the three), and i) Jim beginning to see Li Ming for the adult that he is becoming.

@justafriend-ql covered in their two posts about Li Ming the sheer SIMMERING, the shimmering ANGER that Fourth portrayed, and I felt @wen-kexing-apologist​’s  pain in my bones when I watched those scenes.

So much of what I am loving about Aof’s work as I enjoy my ride through his oeuvre is this family dissection -- the microscopic examination of the painful aftereffects of holistic filial piety (COUGH Bad Buddy) -- and I can never say enough how important his family art work is to Asian audiences. When I see these scenes of young adults holding themselves back with every iota of their energy to not JUMP KICK their parents when they’re acting stupid -- man, I feel that so hard. 

Jam coming back and asking for Li Ming is just lame, and we all know it, and Li Ming knows it. And yet, he is BOUND by CULTURAL PRACTICE -- cultural rules that even JIM REFERENCES -- to need to hold back and respect his mother, because that’s what Thai cultural boundaries demand. So I agree with @justafriend-ql that what Fourth radiated was beyond brilliant. As a viewer, I really want to see Li Ming’s gates open and to see him rage, because my inner child wants to rage right along with him.

But that night scene with Jim and Li Ming, man. 

I think this bit of this scene is what ended up helping Jim to relax, and to see Li Ming as an adult. 

I am loving how Jim is written. The constant, CONSTANT pull between old values and new. This scene so beautifully depicted Jim in that balancing struggle. 

Li Ming is just pulling Jim along to the light of the future, as children/young adults do. Li Ming NEEDS his uncle to see HIMSELF (Jim) in Li Ming. And I think that’s what’s happening, in part, in this scene. Jim sees that Li Ming CAN understand how complicated the world is around him. Jim SEES that Li Ming is a CRITICAL THINKER.

Jim has been a solo parent for so long. He’s worried about his kid. They’re poor. His kid’s gay. Jim’s worried about his kid being poor and gay. Jim expresses it, at first, in an old-fashioned, shouting, angry way. Jim accidentally outs Li Ming to Jam.

And then. The two guys -- the guys -- sit with each other, rest and wash in the process of mourning an important member in the community. Jim tries to hear Li Ming at Li Ming’s level. And Jim finds that he can hear. 

And maybe, even, Jim is beginning to learn that he can transcend those old-fashioned values -- those UNSPOKEN CULTURAL RULES that still bind much of Li Ming’s behavior towards his mother -- to be a model for Li Ming, AND TO HIMSELF, to live a hopefully more fulfilling life. (I think that might be what’s happening, in part, with the cancellation of the diner’s lease at the end of the episode -- but the preview for the finale has me wondering if I’m right.)

8) I don’t know how much I have left, but I took these screenshots to also talk about Jim’s internalized homophobia. I think I’ve covered it already in my Li Ming analysis, but come AWN, just look at this SASS BUCKET OVER HERE:

I took these to confirm that Jim was “just being a dad” (ugh) in the moment of him yelling at Li Ming, but I think Jim redeemed himself with that night chat with Li Ming. So I’m just gonna leave these screenshots here BECAUSE COULD WEN/MIX BE ANY MORE SASSY?

I’m already missing these guys. I need Our Skyy 2 REALLY SOON. 

I’m gonna need a lot of sleep tonight to manage tomorrow.

[fff777]

i haven't seen haechan and doyoung's MUK 2 U but i shall watch it now that renjun and chenle are guesting :P

is doyoung gonna be bullied by the dreamies lol

they are going to a restaurant called 二當家

renjun and chenle got excited and arrived ahead of time to get started on their sauces

that's because huoguo is their turf

doyoung embarrassed under renjun and chenle's watchful eyes lol

this is a restaurant that the neos have been to and recommend

chenle's already in babygirl mode

so at this restaurant, they put the food items in a fridge and you pick them out like at a buffet (as opposed to ordering them)

bumped into his nemesis

chenle eats a lot of vegetables with huoguo which i can relate to, i also love my vegetables. but i guess i would eat it just steamed and not cooked in hot pot.

thanks for the tip king (wayv's penchant for toilet stories has long spread to renle)

chenle's tip is not to add vegetables to the red soup because it'll absorb the oil. so instead, put meat in the red soup and vegetables in the white soup.

haechan: no

thanks...

doren struggling relationship persists XD

so doyoung said that in most variety shows, the editing team cuts down the dead air, whereas here they have to do more of the work to make it a more efficient show lol

renjun was the one who suggested the brainwash concept in the dream( )scape film

renjun: y'all are paying too much attention to jeno's muscles in that scene chenle: don't worry fans, i'm not better than you

doyoung said that jeno doesn't eat a lot of salty food...but in the dream vs dream with nomin, jeno said that he eats food with high salt lol. which is it??

kyaa they're talking about the mv concepts and their roles now :3 that was my favourite part of the mv

they only talked about chenle horse rider and jeno boxer lol

the dreamies did a lot of discussion about the various choreographies for the choruses in smoothie

doyoung noted that dream is known as a group who discusses things a lot :o

mark and jisung ask for group meetings most often, as expected from the resident dream romantic perfectionists. apparently jaemin asks for group meetings a lot too which does surprise me a bit :o

wow so in a meeting with the ceo, mark said that he felt dream were going into their prime and that's why the guys are so pumped up this year

doyoung: the two of you had great acting in the trailer haechan: me too doyoung: the three of you had great acting in the trailer

is that right

doesn't surprise me

by that logic would jisung be the best at crying scenes

haechan says that renjun just has that really sad kind of face where even a tear feels tragic

YEAH people were saying that the intercom in the teasers sounded a lot like chenle. i hadn't drawn the conclusion that chenle was the villain though lol.

classic chenji, jisung yelling at chenle for spoiling again

so they all agreed that they should have just let the fans speculate, but chenle felt too wronged and he had to speak up lmao

aw renjun said that they often go along with jisung's ideas about dream's concept and such and chenle says that jisung usually has the right idea anyway

jisung, mark, jaemin, and jeno participated in lyrics for breathing

the guys really liked box :3

lol apparently after they decided on unknown as the couple song, mark was suddenly like "should we use icantfeelanything instead" and haechan was like okay grandpa let's just stick with unknown (despite having been team box the whole time)

chenle: if haechan doesn't want to go the countryside, call me

doyoung: don't you already have a show? chenle: i can do multiple

doyoung: chenji's this and that and muk 2 u should collab! yes y'all should!!!!! take advantage of the fact that your group has a hundred members pls

renjun reportedly takes a long time to record songs

apparently doyoung takes a long time too lol

doyoung encouraging the guys to step outside the box when trying singing styles

lol doyoung remembered the dreamies' idol introductions from way back when. chenle with a thousand stars, haechan the mood maker, and pure boy renjun.

donghyuck fighting with doyoung and chenle about tealing his fried rice

doyoung: i've known you guys since you were little doyoung: *drops his chopsticks* doyoung trying to be cool and brotherly was interrupted by him being clumsy lol

doyoung felt that chenle changed the most in terms of appearance :3 chenle really was a baby back then in the chewing gum days

chenle likes stews and renjun likes bar snacks lol

blood sausage date

i recently saw again the chenji's this and that in busan clip of chenle repeating seogeo gukbap lol

renjun doesn't like soups that are not flavourful :o :o

i also don't season my cooking but that's because i'm lazy and not adventurous about cooking and food lol

i am totally with chenle on this, i think the best food is the ones that bring out the taste of the ingredients

donghyuck just invited doyoung on to chenji's this and that lol. and chenle was more than happy. after all, he is a social butterfly.

lol chenle bringing up that time jungwoo and taeil went on chenji's this and that a long time ago

doyoung wants chenle to cook for him when doyoung guests and chenle was happy to X3

lol donghyuck and doyoung talking about how they exaggerate their reactions to foods

doyoung dropping chopsticks again lmao. renjun and haechan just keep getting more disappointed XD

chenle standing up because he's full is such a parent thing to do

so smoothie promotions will lead right in to the concert i guess. renjun said there'd be surprises afterwards. i guess one is the upcoming japanese release.

right you are!

chenle on haechan's speech

i guess these guys know each other well enough which is why they don't have to fall back to food as a topic to chat about and can just chat regularly

chenle already putting his jacket on when they're still talking...like my dad

High and Low: At World’s End - Chapter 3

Location: Australian Town Characters: Tetora, Tomoya, Hinata, Touri & Mitsuru 

Season: Autumn Writer: Akira

< The next morning, near a village in the most northern part of Australia. >

Mitsuru: Woohoooo ☆

Our fun school trip is finally starting~! Yay ♪

Tomoya: Not “yay”! This isn’t fun at all!

Why’re we in this awful situation!?

Mitsuru: …Tomo-chan, you’re not having fun?

Tomoya: Huh?

Mitsuru: I wrapped up filming the drama early to meet up with everyone just so I could have heaps of fun with you and Hajime-chan.

Tomoya: R-Right, you were actually supposed to meet up with us later, huh.

Mitsuru: Yeah… But I asked the director and the other actors a huge favour by saying I wanted to go on the school trip no matter what and filmed my parts ahead of schedule, y’know?

But was all of that pointless? Was it just me that wanted to have fun with you and everyone else on this school trip…?

Tomoya: Aww, are you crying? Don’t make that kind of face! You know, I’ve always dreamed of going on a school trip with all of you guys too–

Mitsuru: Tadaa ☆ I’m not crying! I’ve got a smile on my face 100% of the time! Ahahahahaha!

Tomoya: Hey! You were just acting!? So much for me worrying!

Sora: Tomoya-chaaan! Mitsu-chaaan! Anzu-san and the others wanna talk so they’re saying we should meet up over there!

Why are you guys over here? People say it’s dangerous to go off on your own like that!

Tomoya: Sorry. Mitsuru said he wanted to run around on Australian soil and just started running off all of a sudden.

Sora: It’s really dangerous so restrain yourself, okay~?

The environment overseas is really different and Sora can’t really see anything, so even if he took a look, Sora might interpret things wrong…

Tomoya: ? I don’t really know what you’re talking about, but Anzu-san was calling for us, right? I wonder if they’ve found a solution.

Hey, what’re you doing, Mitsuru?

Mitsuru: Look, look, Tomo-chan! There’s a weird animal here! It’s not running away even if I get close to it!

Tomoya: I’m scared of infections and parasites, so don’t touch the wild animals so casually like that! There was something like that written in the guidebook, you know!

Sora: HaHa~ Stop playing around and let’s get a move on~

Location: Australian Town

Hitsugi: Everyone in “Late Departure Group 2”.

We are currently in a rather helpless situation.

Touri: E-Everyone knows that already! We all know we’re in a pretty bad situation!

Tetora: Yeah! What we want are details on our current situation and a specific solution!

Hinata: Calm down, guys~♪ We’re overseas right now and if we make a fuss like we’re back in Japan, the police might come and question us.

That’ll be annoying, yeah? We’re already in a complicated situation but we don’t want things to get even more complicated, right?

Hitsugi: Yes… Please refrain from acting on your own and listen to what we “producers” have to say.

We’re doing our best. We’ll find a solution out of this situation, okay? I can’t do anything myself but I’m sure Anzu-senpai will think of something.

Tetora: We’ve gotta rely on others, huh… Well, we’re in the same boat since there’s nothing we can do either, so it’s hard to complain as well, I guess.

But really, how did things come to this…?

Touri: Yeah! I don’t get it at all! Who should I sue?

Why’re we in a different place from everyone else!?

Tetora: Yeah… That’s the mystery. We were originally supposed to arrive at a pretty developed area in the southern part of Australia.

Hinata: We’re supposed to be in the city with an “ES II”, a building that’s like the knock-off or the twin of ES.

According to the pamphlet for the school trip, we’re supposed to be leisurely touring around Australia with a tour guide…

While also carrying out our idol work. 

Touri: Yeah. It’s like a TV programme where we introduce Australia, right?

I thought that’s what we’ll be doing so I read up on a lot of the local history!

Tetora: Touri-kun, you don’t look it, but you’re actually super diligent, huh.

Touri: What did you say? I’m exactly what I look like: an honour student. I’m gonna be the student council president next year! If anything, you guys are just shrimps with nothing in your brains!

Hinata: Woah, now… Don’t get so riled up. It’ll be really bad if we start panicking and arguing amongst ourselves. We’re already in the worst-case scenario as it is.

Touri: Ugh! But I’m so irritated! Why do we have to put up with something so awful~!?

1. are you named after anyone? yes! both of my grandmothers. although my mom likes to joke that my dad's lucky his mom had the name she already picked out for me, because it was going to be my first name one way or another. she's a virgo, she plans well.

2. when was the last time you cried? according to my cry tracker....last night. we watched the latest ted lasso. i think i've cried at 8 out of 10 episodes of the latest season.

3. do you have kids? i was once a step-parent, but not anymore. and i don't plan on having any.

4. do you use sarcasm a lot? often! i actually remember learning how to use it as a kid and i became insufferable because of it.

5. what’s the first thing you notice about people? it depends. if i'm immediately close to someone, i notice their smell, if they're wearing perfume, if their skin/hair products have a specific fragrance. but if i meet someone with distance or online, speech patterns/speaking behaviours (do they talk with their hands? move their body/facial features a lot?).

6. what’s your eye color? green

7. scary movies or happy endings? why not both? i love a HEA, but i also enjoy the thrill of a scary movie. also, scary movies that have a nice, tidy happy ending are nice. a reminder that you can survive The Horrors.

8. any special talents? i'm very good at learning and retaining a wide and varied trove of knowledge, and i'm also very good at finding information i don't already have quickly and easily when a question is posed.

9. where were you born? central texas~

10. what are your hobbies? writing (currently finishing a book); computer games (valorant, fortnite, sims 4, loads of sons of the forest lately); watching valorant pro games with my wife (currently watching VCT americas); photography (expanding into film rn!); kpop girl groups (more of a special interest at this point)

11. have you any pets? what a fun way to ask this question. yes, i have two dogs, a beagle and a beapitt (beagle-pitt mix). i really want a cat, but we have some logistic concerns to resolve before we can do that :C

12. what sport do you play/have played? i played tennis and golf, i also technically did shotput and discus but like i was bad at those, even though that was the only time i was on an official school team.

13. how tall are you? 5'4" baybee

14. favorite subject in school? at the time i was in school, it was a toss up between english and french. in hindsight, i definitely got the most enjoyment out of creative writing, science, and orchestra, but i was really bought into the image of being literary and scholarly, even though i actively hated writing essays and struggled to finish the books in time for discussions.

15. dream job? ehhh like leah said, i don't dream of labour. i have had a really hard time figuring out what i want to do with my life, to the point where i keep stalling out on whether or not i want to get a degree because i don't know what i would even go to school for. i'm just certain i want to publish my book, so. published author would be nice.

12/12-18/12/2022

Bleh week at work. Decent week outside with highlights of chocolate, cheese, and gaming. 💀

This week was less fun and more filled with meetings than I'd care for. Including at least two that started with 'do you have 5 minutes' and lasted for over an hour. I get that people are trying to cram stuff in before they leave on 19th and before the year end but... mercy. I'm still burnt out from 2020. 😭

I'm swinging wildly from being quite pleased about what I've done with Team 2 to being depressed about how underbaked some of the processes are, how messy the backlog is, and so on. Fortunately the new PM is helping now and my mantra of reducing WIP may actually get somewhere, and they will have a new DM joining just before the day in the office. \o/

On the bright side I made some notes from User Research for Team 1 and heard pop-up research results from the side project which has now finished. We also have an emerging solid plan for Team 1's work in the first Q and some ideas for making our programme check-ins different and more effective.

If I ever find the strength to be a Lead or in the position to influence org-level roadmaps again (Doubt.) this is definitely something I'd like to try:

It seems so obivous now that I've seen it, I am bewildered why anyone bothered with the Gantt-y spreadsheet lines. 🤯

It might go well along Vaugh Tan's Boris framework as well, just to make sure the things NOT being done are super visible? https://vaughntan.org/unpacking-boris

This is a good vid:

The unexpected snow that paralysed UK transport as usual got in the way of a nice dinner with a friend. I still managed to join the chocolate tasting group this month (we did bars originating from Tanzania) and use words like 'coarse', 'sour cherry', 'fruity but without a sour note at the end, a bit like apricot or banana' and hear other people describe stuff as 'the bin', 'sick', 'horrigyingly cloying'. One of the most pressured environments I've ever been in for sure. 😂 The chocolate in those sessions ranges between 70-85% so they day after in a bout of foolhardiness I went for a 100% hot choc at Knoops* and instead of something inexplicably disgusting I got a cup of hot, watery disappointment.

I failed miserably on the cheese advent calendar/cheese tasting front and mixed all my wonderful cheeses together to create (in all fairness pretty amazing) pasta cheese bakes. Farewell pre/post make model, we hardly knew ye. :'(

*I try to use Duck Duck Go more but even with string 'hot chocolate new row' and 'hot chocolate new row covent garden' this place was unfindable and I had to go with Google again. Sorry that I'm addicted to convenience I guess. -\(-__-)/-

-----

Puppet History made me cry.

I lost several more hours in Hades - it's way too easy to do just another run.

And of course I'm playing Witcher 3 again. I forgot just HOW MUCH empty space to run across there is in it. The writing remains gut-wrenching and I already found two new quests so overall I am having a very good time tho.

-----

NEXT WEEK

I feel like I've not watched a genuinely good film in ages. Maybe I'll try to change that. Maybe I'll just play games I've played before for 100 hours. 🙄

I might get started on a year-end personal retrospective and a personal plan. I've been asking the people I coach about theirs so it's only fair, right?

Booking things for the Interrail trip PROPERLY. Not just 2 days in Netherlands and then losing the will to live because of too many options and general anxiety. orz

Rafe’s Q&A on twitter

And on here courtesy of u/crowz9:

Q: Will we see more than one of these cities in season 2? Cairhien, Tear, Falme

A: Yes

Q:  I have to ask. Gawyn (and I guess the lesser brother Galad) actually beat Mat in the warder training yard in the show right? Theres no way they lose on screen is there?

A:  This is an iconic scene from the book and we are building to a believable version of it in the show.  Hopefully.  Ha.

Q:  I have a cheat question about season 1. What was the biggest change in episode 8 that was brought by COVID restrictions compared to what you had originally planned?

A:  The thing I like the least was we originally had Egwene using the Wisdom skills she’d learned in the pilot from Nynaeve to help her after the channeling in Fal Dara.  But last minute Covid changes on the day didn’t allow for the same amount of touching so it got switched and I (melting face emoji)

Q:  How much has the making of process changed in between seasons especially with how the pandemic affected season 1?

A:  It’s certainly affected us in ways both huge and small, but by the end of Season Two it had become so second nature that MULTIPLE TIMES I poured a coffee into my mask and was confused why it didn’t go into my mouth

Q:  What’s your favourite scene with Donal Finn, and why is it him blowing the horn?

A:  #LetDonalToot is now the rallying cry of a generation

Q:  Which books make it into season 2?

A:  Pieces of 1,2 and 3.

Q:  Blink twice if we see more than one Forsaken!

A: (two relieved face emojis)

Q:  How far into the books will this season take us, know the EF5 are much more split up than EotW

A:  We are trying to get a fair amount of what’s done in Books 1-3 (large parts still being held for later) by the end of S2 so that S3 can be a much closer adaptation of TSR

Q:  In comparison to season one, how much queer rep is there going to be?

A:  It depends on how many great memes you churn out.

Q:  When will Rand’s luscious curly locks return?

A:  Ask @joshastradowsk1 He should be growing them now :)

Q:  Maybe you can open with an explanation of why you had the entire seanchan ever victorious navy unleash everything they had on a poor little girl on the beach, or how you had the forces of Fal Dara hard charging the BACK OF THEIR OWN DEFENSIVE FORTIFICATION.

A:  That girl had it coming.  So did the entire coastline and all its cities

Q:  Is Liandrin’s friend a <ahem> North Harbor friend, a Darkfriend, or both?

A:  I wouldn’t tell you even if you used a weave of compulsion

Q: Why did you guys decide not to make the dagger instant death like the books? How did Loial survive being stabbed by *the* dagger?

A:  That’s a story best told in a stedding

Q: describe S2 using only alcoholic beverages please

A:  Spiked Kaf

Q: Do the Seanchan still use the ball gags on the Damane?

A:  I’ve never seen a ball gag on a damane

Q: Pretty sure I saw Uno in the behind the scenes - interested in how that is possible after last season...

A:  He’s breathing.  Watch close

Q: Can you tell us how much you will be expanding on the forsaken in this season?

A:  It’s a big point of difference from the books in S2.  We will spend more time with any Forsaken who’s in the show, more how the later books treat the Forsaken than necessarily Books 2 or 3 did

Q: Hopper?

A:  THANK YOU.  WHY IS NO ONE EVER GIVING HOPPER THE RESPECT HE DESERVES.  OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: HOPPER IS IN S2

Q: favorite Season 2 two person scene with only the character names and no more

A:  Egwene Renna

Q: Since most of the main characters split up geographically at the beginning to tGH, will the next seasons keep them on parallel timelines for a convergence at Falme? In which case, the Portal Stones left a time gap of ~4 months for Rand's group; easier to do on a page or on film?

A:  Time gaps are very difficult moving to the medium of television with the stories intercutting, but we try to do as much as we can to avoid one hour cross continent dragon flights

Q: favourite type of gin, and also, can you drop a hint about something you're looking forward to us seeing in season 2?

A:  Your pic makes me excited about where Liandrin’s character goes in S2.  We are so so lucky to have the amazing  @katefleetwood in the show and you will love, hate, and love to hate her LiLi

Q:  Any hints on Moiraine’s journey in season 2? A:  It’s much expanded from her Book 2 story. But built out of the core of that and of a couple relationships that were not explored in the books

Q:  Did everything happen as planned this season or did you guys have to change anything (as in the last 2 eps of season 1)? A: There were unforeseen changes as we shot S2 immediately after wrap of 107 and 108.  But that’s making television.  Anyone who tells you there weren’t unforeseen changes on their show is lying

Q: Are you sticking with the fun cold opens? A:  Yep!   It’s our ode to the out of POV chapters in the books and we will always have them

Q:  What new character/actor are you most excited to introduce us to? A:  There are so many — Aviendha, Elayne, others that have been both announced but not announced, and of course Bayle Domon

Q:  Does Mat get to wander the Tower practice yard, and do we learn of Jearom? A:  Get your Origins on!!!

Q:  Will we get “Do you like to dance, Perrin Aybara”? A:  Yes.

Q:  Can you tell us what role Xelia Mendes-Jones will play please A:  Xelia is playing the role of knocking their scenes out of the fucking park every time they stepped on set.

Q:  Which new cast member gave you the best “Yep! THAT’S _(insert character name)_!” moment in season 2 filming? A:  I think this moment will be in the first or second trailer of season 2.  It lives rent free in my mind at all times

Q:  How many episodes will@Season 2 be? If only 8 again, will they be longer? A:  They are longer than first season, but yes, still only 8

Q:  Are the Wheel of Times Origins cannon to the tv show or just a pretty (amazing) side piece where the stories of origins aren’t the mythology used in the show? A:  Canon

Q:  which character had his plot changed the most compared to the books? A: Mat.  But we try to bring the characters back to where they should be by the end of S2.

Q:  What is the journey like for Moiraine and Lan in season 2 with their bond still masked A:  Another big departure point for us from the books is making much more story for Moiraine and Lan.  We aren’t sitting these two amazing actors on the bench for a season, so we take what’s in Book 2 for them and expand it in a huge way.  That’s all I can say.

Q:  please tell us gawyn won’t be likable please please please you can’t do this to me A:  I love every character I write.  I think you have to find a way to

Q: Will weaves appear the same in the coming season(s)? Congrats on S3 btw! A:  They’re getting a bit of a revamp for S2.  Threads and colors and bears oh my.  But no bears.

Q:  First off, G&T is divine. Second, I want to know if you get more chances to expand the dialog more to let us see the characters better? A:  We are always trying to.  Lots of one on one scenes that didn’t get shot or didn’t make the cuts.  But I’m always fighting for them, I think that’s where the characters really live or die, and our actors can always deliver when it’s just 2 people in a room talking

Q:  What was the scene you dreamed of bringing alive the most and have you filmed it yet? A:  That scene is in the final episode of the show

Q:  Is the Darkfriend Social gonna be in the show? A:  Yep

Q:  Does Rand get his Red and Gold outfit this season? I can’t wait to see Josha officially in it A: (smiling face with open hands emoji)

haikyuu boys that ━━

━━ would absolutely, definitely, 100% get nauseous, dizzy, possibly might faint, while their s/o is in labor. one peak and they’re doubling over the hospital bed, inhaling deeply and exhaling sharply, steeling themselves. some are surprising, some are expected. all are stupid.

iwaizumi hajime; he just cannot. he cannot fathom what is happening. there is no way you’re going through that and surviving. no wonder you’re screaming in pain. of course you’re screaming in pain. he takes one look at what’s going on and just immediately takes a step back, eyebrows raised and hand pressed to his chest like “my god.” he’s an 8/10 though because he is incredibly supportive and those arms are great to grab onto. will not complain for a second (is strangely way too quiet), but he’s worryingly pale. maybe he’s quiet cause if he speaks he’ll throw up. 

miya atsumu; he’s this close to screaming. or crying. possibly both. he can’t tell if he’s scared in general or scared for you or if he’s hurting seeing you hurting. in fact, no one can tell. he just looks like he’s watching an alien abduction happen right before his eyes. like a 6/10 because he probably does actually faint. it’s almost as if he’s the one in labor. and he’s the annoying kind of supportive that makes you want to smack him like shut the fuck up i’m pushing a whole child out of me right now. but his reactions are extremely endearing and hilarious to watch back because he most definitely insisted on filming. 

akaashi keiji; the silent struggler. really doesn’t wanna make it obvious at all. like he really, really, really doesn’t want you knowing that he’s uncomfortable in any way, but he’s like, sweating from how nauseous he is. a big part of it is hating seeing you in pain; he cringes every time you so much as groan or pant. 7/10 because he’s incredibly supportive but his hands are way too clammy :/ like fr get a grip keiji. again, supportive, but his voice is shaky so it’s like, really ineffective. he cries when he sees his baby and it automatically makes him an 11/10.

sakusa kiyoomi; absolute coward. pussy. it’s not about hygiene, he’s just genuinely mortified. keeps asking you’re okay like,,, what do you think, sir? he keeps looking even though every time he does it doesn’t get any better? question mark? you can see him visibly gulping cause he’s in so much shock. like a 5/10 because he forgets to hold your hand. just stands there. eyes wide and mouth parted like a dumb fish. chokes back on his sobs when he hears his baby’s cries and it’s adorable how he brings his hand up to silence himself so maybe he’s a 7/10.

goshiki tsutomu; please he probably has a panic attack mid labor. definitely screams with you and all the nurses and the doctor are like ???? holds your hand tighter than you’re holding his. apologizes the whole time. the whole time. like the doctor asked him if he wants to see what’s happening, which idk why they would consider that a smart idea, and he just wailed like, “baby i’m so sorry, i’m so sorry, can we just adopt?” a 3/10. he’s so cute but. bring someone else if you don’t want to rip your hair out and his. 

kageyama tobio; he absolutely tries to pretend that he’s okay but he just gets really, really quiet once you start delivering and his lips are chapped and his pupils are blown and his face is so pale. he looks like he just got off of a really bad rollercoaster. he’s not even holding your hand you’re just hanging onto an unmoving, lifeless limb. maybe 6/10, cause he could be better in the supportive department but, at least he was quietly panicking. he does have a mini panic attack once his baby is in his arms though. like just starts hyperventilating. it’s okay though! it’s actually kind of cute <3

lev haiba; actually faints. not probably. he actually faints. like all 6′5 of him just drops onto the floor by your bed and you’re like ,,, damn, guess i’m doing this alone then. he wakes up and the first thing he sees is your baby crowning and he just faints again pls. someone has to be there with you, just like to help him to you. he cannot stand straight at all, he’s leaning on the bed the whole time. 5/10 because it genuinely makes you laugh it kind of makes the pain bearable. they have to get a chair in case he just falls back cause he’s just so dizzy pls.

━━ would be so fucking annoying. who the hell let them in this room? why did you agree to this? how are you going to raise a child with them? regrets. so many regrets. 

tanaka ryūnosuke; he’s like annoyingly scared. shut up and calm down for a minute i’m trying to birth your child here. swears so much like “holy shit holy shit that’s a big baby.” like pls you’re trying to push it out of you and he has the audacity to say shit like that? treats it like it’s some sort of volleyball match like he cheers whenever the doctor praises you. maybe a 5/10 cause he’s just annoying, but it’s motivating in a way. accepts any insult you throw at him too, like he’s so on board with it. “yes, i’m absolutely a piece of shit— what do you mean you’re not getting anywhere near my dick babe wait.”

bokuto kōtarō; listen :( you don’t want to think he’s annoying but he lowkey is. he’s trying his hardest to make this an easier experience for you but you just need him to be a little quieter. like this hurts bo, calm down please. you want to match his energy but it’s literally physically impossible. he’s an 8/10 though because you doubt it’d have been possible to go through it without him. bokuto’s incredibly ripped too so he lets you hang onto him and he holds you tightly too, like grips your hands and legs so strong that it’s v physically supportive too. 

kozume kenma; he’s so. quiet. like say something kozume. say anything. he’s just wincing and cringing. 4/10 cause where’s the emotion. lets you hold his hand, like wow you should be honored. insults you back if you insult him???? like what’s that about???? when he sees his baby he does like, sharply intake a breath or whatever cause he doesn’t want to cry but he’s really struggling not to, which is kind of cute you guess. films the whole thing and does like a peace sign with a very nonchalant face but he has a filter on and the filter scans your face too except you’re like screaming. actually a 3/10. 

sugawara kōshi; he’s incredibly supportive yes, but mans will be laughing at you. laughing. at you. probably films you and is like properly giggling and laughing boisterously. is so unfazed by anything and everything he sees. he would so easily be a 10/10 but he becomes a -1/10 just cause he’s an ass. definitely like is breathless and is so mind-blown when he sees his baby. just in awe and in shock that he laughs like, “we made that holy crap.” good to have in the delivery room because he does make the atmosphere easier and more lighthearted, but,,, at what cost? your sanity’s. 

suna rintarō; the amount of times you wanted to punch him you cannot count on your ten fingers. makes some sex joke about how you’re so stretched out. you literally want to deck him. films the birthing process and makes you watch the video when you’re not even done delivering the baby? cause he’s insane i guess? justifies it as “this is a reminder of how strong you are,” like shut up with your bullshit. it’s kinda smart tho cause you can pull this on your kid later but still. he’s so fucking annoying. if you hold his hand too hard he’ll be like “it can’t be that bad stop being such a baby,” and the baby is delivered like an hour early out of spite. a 6/10 tho cause somehow you love him and decided to have a baby with him. 

ushijima wakatoshi; pt.2 to say fucking something??? he’s mostly quiet cause he doesn’t really know what to say, and cause he’s never seen you in this much pain and it’s kind of shocking him. he’s not scared though, cause it’s like, a natural process of human life and the life cycle and all that stuff, he’s just like. taking time to process it. lets you hold his hand though. also if you wanna like give up halfway through he’s annoyingly angry with you like “no. you can’t just give up halfway. stop being a coward.” like why don’t you give it a try toshi??? a 5/10. could do better. 

terushima yuuji; so hyperactive that it’s infuriating. doesn’t even hold your hand, he just stands back and observes and like cheers. literally will jump every time you push, like what the fuck, my love? makes really weird comments like “what does it feel like? does it feel like you’re pooping?” like???? it feels like i’m being torn in half yu :D a 4/10 only cause when you ask if you can slap him he wholeheartedly agrees and the doctor cannot hold their laugh back. also definitely plays like the chika dance and makes the nurses do it with him. probably films a tiktok too. you’re going to kill him after. 

oikawa tōru; he’s trying so hard to be supportive and your backbone but he’s just so jittery and nervous. he’s not going to faint or get nauseous, but he literally cannot stay still. he’s so anxious it’s making you anxious. his hands are shaking when they grip yours, but honestly, completely unbiased of course, an 8/10, cause it really is so endearing. like he’s breathlessly and exasperatingly praising you and you can tell he’s near tears just gasping back sobs so ,,, maybe he’s not that annoying. but he is. he is annoying. a little. 

━━ would be the best of the best. perfectly supportive. a lovely anchor. not too quiet, not too chatty. is so soft and gentle with you. you fall in love with them all over again. 

miya osamu; definitely a 10/10. husband material. he has a cloth that’s just patting away at your sweat. kisses your hand and knuckles. soothingly rubs at your thighs. tells you you’re doing great, that it’ll all be worth it. kisses your forehead. grins at you halfway through when you need that extra motivation. literally all the nurses and the doctor are swooning over him. he’s very nervous deep down but he won’t show it, not for a moment, for your sake. 10/10. can’t stress this enough. 

kita shinsuke; another king! so soft with you when you feel like giving up. just speaks to you in hushed tones like, “you’ve come this far, lovely. you can’t back out now. think of all the happy moments we’ll get to share just a few hours from now.” and you’re like “alright i’m sold.” completely unfazed by anything he sees. okay maybe a little fazed but he just kisses your forehead after sneaking a peak and tells you you’re doing wonderfully. 100000/10. imagine him as the father of your children???? like literally who else would you want????

aran ojiro; wow another inarizaki i sense a trend. except atsumu he’s a pussy. cheers you on quietly, holds onto your legs, breathes with you, smooths your hair back, literally just an angel. if you take a small break he just spends it quietly talking with you to get your mind off the pain. his knuckles are just caressing your jaw and cheek softly till you’ve calmed down. 10/10 obviously. he’s just the right amount of loud supportive and quiet supportive. kisses you full on the mouth when he first hears his baby’s cries and can’t stop thanking you. literally wtf he’s so cute.

kuroo tetsurō; he’s actually surprisingly very serious when you’re delivering the baby. he’s cracking jokes and all before to try and get you less nervous but it’s actually because he’s freaking out. he’s mostly quiet, just holding onto your hand as tightly as you’re gripping his. he holds his breath every time you push. keeps whispering i love you and pressing kisses to your temple. a 9/10 cause he’s so quiet it’s a little scary but he cannot hold back his tears when he sees his baby. kisses you all over your face after. 

satori tendō; very emotional. like so emotional. he’s teary eyed the whole time, just thanking you even if you hadn’t given birth yet. it makes the nurses cry too cause it’s so lovely to see him get so visibly affected by this. he’s just whispering thank you’s and i promise not to let you down ever and i promise to love you forever and you’re pretty sure he’s speaking to the baby you’re birthing at this point. 9/10 cause he made you cry :( no but really he’s a 10/10. super loving, keeps asking you if you’re okay, if you need water, need to hold his hand, anything. angel, fr. 

matsukawa issei; relatively surprising as well because you expected him to be more than just annoying, but he’s just. in awe. he’s so amazed by how much you’re going through, and he just stores it in the back of his brain. literally thanks you for the next 50 years to come. laughs endearingly with you to lighten the mood. 9/10. a point is deducted because he jokingly said that now you’ll be able to take his dick really easily. a nurse choked in shock pls. gets real close after to whisper i love you so that only you can hear. he’s just a dream <3

━━ would not let you move an inch after giving birth. all the work is on them for the next 5 years. 

all of them. not a single one is left out in this one. they’re annoying but ,,, they all love very strongly <3

end note; listen idk what this is. i had a vision where iwaizumi could not handle his s/o giving birth and the thought was actually so sweet to me, just the nurses laughing at him and he’s just breathing deeply to try and not throw up and then. this happened. anyways. this helped put me in a better mood so i hope it does/did for anyone else too!

Anxiety {Madelyn Cline}

Warnings: cursing, anxiety, panic attack

Pairings: Madelyn Cline x Fem!Reader

Summary: You best friend, Madelyn, walks into your trailer and walks in on you having a panic attack so she stays and helps you.

Word Count: 600+

a/n: I suffer with severe anxiety so, just want y'all to know that you're not alone <33

You were just fine 25 minutes ago. You were messaging in the group chat with Chase, Madison, Rudy, Drew, Jonathan, Austin and Madelyn and you were all having fun but, then another panic attack hit you.

You were on your knees on the floor sobbing and shaking. You have had bad anxiety for as long as you could remember. You were seeing a therapist but, sometimes the anxiety still could sneak up on you when you least expected it.

And now was not a good time for this to happen. You all were going to have to film some scenes at night but, you were not going to be able to to that when you were having an anxiety attack. You didn't even know why it happened this time, sometimes it just happened for no reason at all.

While you were there on the floor sobbing, you herd the door to your trailer open. You had no idea who it was but, you couldn't even turn your head around to look to see who it was. You felt like you were frozen in place.

"Y/N?" You herd Madelyn's voice behind you. "Y/N, are you okay?" She asked as she walked around so she was now in front of you, so she could see your face. You finally got the strength to look up at her.

Your eyes were puffy and bloodshot, your cheeks were tear stained, your mascara was running, your were shaking, you were having trouble taking deep breaths, and you were still sniffling and sobbing.

"Oh my god!" She said as she sat down on the floor in front of you. She took both of your hands and held them, giving them a gentle, soothing squeeze. "Y/N, it's okay, just breathe, okay?" She said.

"I- I- I- I can't." You said as you let out a strangled sob.

"Yes you can. Let's take deep breathes together okay? Please just try." She said. You nodded. "Okay, take three deep breathes with me, okay?" She said. You nodded again. She gave you a warm, comforting smile.

"Okay, 1." She said. She began to take a deep breathe. You tried to take a deep breathe as well. "2." She said before taking another deep breathe. You did so too with her the second time. "and 3." She said before taking another deep breathe. You once again did what she did.

Your crying had settled a little but, you were still in panic mode.

"I want you to repeat what we just did, okay?" She asked. You nodded. "Okay good, try it out for me." She said. You did as she asked and took 3 deep breaths slowly. She praised you as you did so. You were starting to feel your body slowly untense.

"You're doing so good Y/N." She said and gave your hands another gentle, soothing squeeze. You smiled a little. You kept taking deep breathes as she held your hands and would sometimes rub your arm and back in a soothing way.

"How do you feel now?" She asked.

"I still feel kind of nervous but, I feel a lot better than I did when you first came in." You said with a sniffle.

"That's good!" She said. "And it's okay if your still a little nervous, now that you are calm your nerves should calm down. Just try to distract yourself." She said.

"How?" You asked.

"Well, I know a way." She said. "Madison, Carlacia and I are going out to get some fast food, want to come with us? My treat." She said.

"Sure." You said with a smile.

"Okay great!" She said as she got up off the floor before helping you get off the floor. "Come on, let's go." She said with a smile as the two of you walked out together.

a/n: I hope y'all enjoyed this story!

Hi dear! I really LOVE your fics, thank you for all your incredible works!

Can I please request loud sex w/ Noel x reader?

❤️

And I thank you for reading them and following everything closely lovie <3 I hope your naughty thoughts have been filled ;)

Shout it out loud (90's Noel Gallagher X Reader)

Pairing: 90’s Noel Gallagher X Reader

Warnings: Language, SMUTTY AF (oral Female receiving, P in V sex, Overstimulation, Noel and Reader being…well… VERY LOUD 😉)

Words: 1633

Summary: Noel and Y/N are forced to be quiet most of the time when they have sex because the others are on the tour bus with them. But a night after a gig, when everyone is still at the afterparty, they’re taking advantage of it, being as loud as they want in the bus.

A/N: Heyaaa! Welcome back to our dear weekly smuts! (Or fluffs as I always say my requests are still open 😉) I hope you’ll enjoy this one, this had been requested by one of my dear anons, Hope this is what you expected (or even better? I hope so).

Enjoy!

(This man is... you can't change my mind)

You both decided it would be tonight. Tonight, that your husband Noel and you would take advantage to get to the bus earlier than everyone so you could have a moment alone.

for the first phase, you decided to dress up sexy, with the red dress he loved so much.

Tt was low cut and came to the middle of your thigh, so you could wear it with the black heeled boots that Noel also liked so much.

The phase one was made to built up the tension and tease him in a way and it worked. Because while on stage, he couldn’t take off his eyes of yours, but on the same time could still stay focused to play guitar and sing what he had to sing.

You were sat on a chair on the stage, but apart from them, where no one could see you.

You decided to play it basic instinct, crossing and uncrossing your legs like Sharon Stone would do in the film, and of course you weren’t wearing anything under your dress either.

But you only did it when Noel was looking, being careful that others don't see through your little seduction game.

Once the gig was over, it was time for phase two.

You joined the others to the afterparty.

The rest of the band were drinking heavily, smoking, and chatting loud.

You and Noel were only staying so you wouldn’t arouse suspicion.

2 hours after, Noel squeezed your hand, indicating it was time for you to go and to start the third phase.

You pretended not to feel well, and you both left the dressing room you were in.

Noel was walking at a fast pace, almost running, making it hard for you to follow him.

Oh you’re that aroused? You said, breathing heavily

Why, aren’t ya? He answered

Oh I am, but I can’t follow baby.

He stopped to grab you and carried you to the bus like a bag of potatoes. You were laughing so much that your head what almost turning.

He entered the tour bus with you on his shoulder.

Oi, you, the driver, take my money, find a pub and don’t come back before 2 hours. Noel said throwing him 50£

The bus driver looked at him confused, but finally understood why Noel was asking him that.

He went at the back of the bus, putting you on a seat.

If only ye knew how much I want you right now…

I think the feeling is mutual Mr Gallagher.

Oh, really Mrs Gallagher?

Yeah.

Good, now spread these beautiful legs for me, you don’t know how much I want to devour you right now.

You did what was asked, lying on two seats, spreading your legs for your dear husband and lover.

He pulled your dress up a little so that he could fit his head between your thighs and let his tongue declaratively excite your clit, lapping at it, and licking a long stripe between it and your entrance, tasting your juices. You were so aroused; you were soaking wet since you put this dress on you.

You were whimpering, you forgot you could be loud, until you felt a finger tease your entrance, which made you cry out.

God I missed that, me. Noel said, lifting his head from between your legs to look at you

His finger entered you, pumping in and out, your walls melting around them.

Oh god Noel… Please…A-another finger.

Ye want another finger baby? That’s what I heard?

Yes, please… You moaned

Since it’s asked so kindly.

Noel added another finger, continuing to pump them in and out of you.

He was scissoring them, trying to find your weak and tender spot, so he could hear you scream in pleasure, because he needed to hear it. he sucked your clitoris between his lips or between his teeth, which drove you even crazier and made you want to feel it inside you even more.

The tent in his pants were growing bigger, he was impatient to be inside you.

His fingers finally hit your G-Spot, making you scream as he planned. Your hand came to grab a fistful of his hair, imprisoning him between your legs.

He didn’t mind, that was his goal. He could even cum by hearing you scream his name in pleasure repetitively.

You were so close, your legs trembling around his head, and he was planning on staying here until you would cum.

When it happened, he helped you ride your high until you were done.

He let you catch your breath and you heard him slack his belt. But this time you wouldn’t let him get between your legs. You would be on his, riding him as if there was no tomorrow.

You got up and pushed him on the seat, straddling him which surprised him at first, but he didn’t dislike it.

Oh so ye want to do it like this then?

Yeah, and it’ll be my turn to hear you scream.

Oh yeah?

You won’t regret it.

You kissed him harshly, palming him through his boxers, giving you the satisfaction to hear him let out a little moan.

You were also grinding on him, making him crazy.

When you were fed up with it, you helped him to pull down his trousers, and his boxers in the action.

You sank down on him, causing you both to moan in unison when you did so.

You started bouncing up and down on him, and he was helping you by thrusting in you.

You couldn’t help it but to go faster with each bounce, and you were already both so close.

You knew you wouldn’t last long, the excitation of being able to be as loud as you want helping you in this.

Oh baby… Ye don’t know what effect you have on me… He said

I hope this is the same that o-on day one!

It always has been…

You kissed him again and soon, he hit your G-spot again, but this time, with his hard member.

You let out a loud moan, your eyes shutting in the process.

He knew he wouldn’t last long if you were doing this each time he did so.

Fuck Y/N… I’m gonna…

You answered with a moan and clenched around him.

Shout it out loud! You shouted

I’m gonna cum!

Me too! You almost screamed

It was all that was needed for him to be thrown over the edge. You felt him twitch inside you and he let out a loud groan and almost shout when he painted your insides with his hot release.

You felt yourself release around him, crying out in pleasure.

You both stopped moving, catching your breaths.

But once you got yours back, not knowing if Noel had his back, you started bouncing down up and down on him again.

It was too much for him to take, his body trembling and his breath hitching in his throat.

W-Wait love, what are…

Making you scream. And I do it for me too.

Your hips rocking hard against his, you were hoping for a new orgasm from both your sides.

Which wouldn’t be long.

Noel’s hand slammed against the bus’s window and landed on it, sliding down until he found a place to hold on to.

Oh fuck fuck fuck! He screamed

You wanted us to be loud Noely huh? Let’s get loud!

Your third orgasm and Noel’s second washed over you, leaving you really screaming this time.

You rode your highs together, clenching around him and gripping his shoulder, almost leaving a mark with your nails, who dug in it.

Once you were done, you couldn’t move anymore, being really too much now.

Ye know I love ye, right? He said, out of breath

And so do I.

This was…

The best sex we ever had.

Oh you can say it.

You kissed again, passionately and suddenly; you heard the bus door open.

I said not before 2 hours driver! Noel shouted

Can I just come pick my fucking jacket or wot? A male voice said

Oh Liam. Always there at the wrong time.

Yeah Liam, just pick your fucking jacket and fuck off! You answered

He passed you, not even looking at the position you were in, picking up his jacket and passing you by again as if nothing had happened. Then before leaving, he added:

Ye fucking rabbits, always fucking when I’m here, but when I’m not it’s even worse. Make sure ye sleep when I come back or I’ll kill ye both.

Says the one who fucks groupies! You answered

At least I have the respect to fuck them during the afterparties!

Isn’t it what we’re doing?

Ye’re always fucking!

Okay Our Kid, now fuck off, I wanna fuck me wife once more before you piss up back here.

Yea yea right, and don’t forget to shout it out loud Noely!  He said, imitating a female voice that was supposed to be yours

Liam slammed the bus door and left, leaving you and Noel laughing.

He heard us. You said

Yeah, he definitely heard us. Noel added

Round three?

In the shower?

But it’s so tiny!

Don’t worry, it won’t be this tiny when you’ll see my…

Noel.

Okay, it won’t be tiny my love, I promise.

I prefer that.

And I’ll shout my love for ye once more.

Just once?

We’ll see that in the shower, shall we?

Ineffable Con 2020 Fun Facts

Fun facts from the Ineffable Con 2 (2020) guest panels :): 

Neil Gaiman, Douglas Mackinnon and Rob Wilkins

David G. Arnold (the music composer)

Claire Anderson (the costume designer)

Peter Anderson (Peter Anderson Studio created the opening title animation and in-show graphics)

Paul Adeyefa (Disposable Demon)

Jeremy Marshall-Roberts (the owner of Mary the Bentley)

1. Neil Gaiman, Douglas Mackinnon and Rob Wilkins

What do they have from Good Omens:

Rob has the statue from St. Beryls, all four motorbikes from the four horsemen, Crowley’s Devon watch, box signed by David Tennant with Crowley’s sunglasses and Aziraphale’s cocoa mug with Michael Sheen’s DNA :).

Douglas has the playing cards from Episode 1 and heavily annotated Good Omens book they used for filming with inscription by Neil: ‘For Douglas, make us love, make us cry, 3rd August 2017’.

Neil has Aziraphale’s chair from the bookshop that he bought from the BBC and he uses it for Zoom meetings.

What is their favourite thing that was not in the book and was added to the TV show:

Neil: all of the first half of Episode 3 - an absolute joy.

Rob: also the beginning of Episode 3.

Douglas: David Arnold’s music and Peter Anderson’s front titles.

Could Aziraphale get out of the Bastille easily if he wanted to?

Neil: if he could: absolutely. Did he have any conception of the mess he was in: probably not. It’s one of Neil’s favourite pieces of acting - the absolute delight on Aziraphale’s face when he realizes that Crowley’s there and then he turns around and rather petulantly, grumpily goes oh it’s you - that moment of joy on Aziraphale’s face when he realizes that he’s been rescued is one of Neil’s favourite things. 

Neil and yoghurt starter: I had this slightly mad thing where I would explain to everybody that fans were yoghurt starter. And I said, ‘Basically you start out with yoghurt starter and you put it into your warm milk and you leave it, and the yoghurt starter goes off and turns the entire thing into yoghurt. 

Neil realized that there was a cat in his house (Neil doesn’t have a cat :)). After the panel Neil said that he was going to look for the cat with a can of sardines and Douglas joked that he would find Michael Sheen in a cat costume.

What was the best and worst about making the series:

Douglas: the best - the camaraderie, getting to know the people, the cast and crew. 

Rob: the best - realizing that the book could be translated to the screen and watching it happen. The worst - coming to the end of the shoot and saying goodbye to everybody.

Neil: the best - the amount of love from everybody, the worst - fighting budget battles (producers wanted gone all of the cold opening and the death of Agnes Nutter).

Did they expect that Good Omens would attract so many LBGTQ+ people and how they feel about that:

Neil: Yes, absolutely. There are definitely people out there who seem to think that I accidentally wrote a love story with all of the beats of a love story including a break-up halfway through, without somehow noticing that I’d written a love story. And I may not be the brightest candle on the candelabra, but as an author who’s been doing it for a long time, I’m very well aware of when I’m writing a love story, thank you very much. And so from my perspective I knew that the love story would be one of the driving things that would get us from the beginning to the end. And I also made a bunch of decisions about our angels and our demons in terms of casting, in terms of gender that everybody backed me up on, which I loved. You know, the idea that the archangel Michael is played by Doon [Mackichan] is something that is... or Beelzebub is Anna Maxwell Martin, whatever, there’s... it’s not like we are going: these are women, there are men, we are going: these are demons, these are angels. They... this is not a thing. And also doing something like Pollution, where you go in and go: okay  well if we were doing this in... if 1989 was now, if there were they pronouns, we probably would have done that. We didn’t think of it at the time but that’s no reason why we can’t do it now. And we did and I remember having a... not exactly a battle, but a... my very tiny skirmish with one of our execs who was very nice and very bright and was like: ‘Why are you saying they?’, and I’m like... and I... explaining, and he’s like: ‘Well I’ve never heard of that before.’, and I’m like: ‘Oh, okay, but trust me, just trust me, it’s all fine, just trust me.’

Douglas: And you know I have to say, just following on what Neil’s saying, I’ve been directing for quite a while, and I tend to notice if characters are falling in love, I tend to notice a love story happening in front of me, and I think it’s there, and everything is meant, guys, everything is meant.

Neil added: I would just say, there are some things that you do while you’re writing a script intentionally. The fact that... I wanted to do this, well, it was a thing I did that I really enjoyed doing... where whenever people accuse them of being a couple: they don’t deny it, they don’t argue, there’s no flustering on their part. They absolutely… you know, everybody… what I’m trying to say is:  yes, other people in the story are perceiving them as a couple too. And here is Uriel perceiving them as a couple, here is wonderful Dan [Starkey, playing the passerby] …and you know, you do scenes like that because that’s... you are trying to make a point here and you’re trying to make a point on how people are perceived.

Season 2, yes or no [fiends, all three of them!]:

Douglas: What’s that?

Neil: Of what?

Rob: Is it muted for me as is for everyone else?

Neil confirmed that they are going to be Funko Pops. [yay!]

2. David G. Arnold (the music composer)

He didn’t read the book before he was approached to do the music. He was asked to do it by Douglas Mackinnon he knew from the Victorian episode of Sherlock and he said yes before even knowing what it was about because he wanted to work with Douglas again.  

The first piece of music he wrote for the show was the brass band doing the Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon [Episode 6, in the park before the kidnapping].

The second piece of music he wrote was the lullaby that Crowley sings to Warlock. He always liked the lullabies like in Mary Poppins so he said to Neil: Why don’t we do it like Walt Disney, but if Walt Disney was possessed by Satan? That was about 7 months before he needed to write anything again while they were shooting and it kept going round his head the whole time - the melody stuck with him and when it came to the Opening Title of the show, this became the middle bit.

The original opening title was Everyday by Buddy Holly and each episode was supposed to be closed with a different version of it: a death metal version, an angelic choir version, a carmina burana version... and he actually made all those. But he likes to find the musical identity of the show and put it in the opening titles because it’s important and it tells you: ‘This is the word you’re going to experience’, so he wrote his own opening title with the lullaby in the middle and played it to them [probably Neil and Douglas] with Buddy Holly as the backup and: Neil just turned around in his chair and said, ‘That’s Good Omens.’. From that point the instructions were with no rules, just to create whatever he wanted: the further you can go the better, the weirder and the stranger you can think the better. It’s a rare thing to be shown a world like Good Omens and be let free to run around in it. 

His favourite ending title is the Queen one in Episode 1.

One of the reasons he didn’t do a theme for Crowley and a theme for Aziraphale is that the theme of the show is theirs - it’s theirs and they share it and it’s both of theirs and there is no separating in that regard. 

About Aziraphale and Crowley’s relationship reflected in the music score: It’s interesting isn’t it, because the relationship changed in a way slightly frequently and majorly infrequently. It seemed right from the start that their relationship was somehow seeded and planted and had begun by the time we saw them even though they may not have realised it themselves, you know, with the pair of them on the wall, considering one is a demon in the Garden of Eden and one is an angel. They act very charitably towards each other and they act with a lot of things you might not expect. And underneath that there is a sort of sense of togetherness and support even though they both know that their paths are going to diverge and they have different responsibilities. So I always felt like, right from that moment, when the wing came up on the wall, that there was something special about their relationship. Three moments that stuck with him: in Episode 3 saving the books in the church when they completely rely on the other for survival in the way that they were very open about, one in the car outside the nightclub in 60s Soho - the Holy Water, you go too fast for me, that genuinely tearing, that there was reluctance in those words that he spoke and that sort of things as a composer is gold, it’s about making those moments more, and in the last episode in a scene they’re not event in when we see Adam and Dog in the fields and Anathema that music there which celebrates Crowley and Aziraphale’s music which is the theme of the show - their shadow has passed over everyone’s emotional journey, and everyone’s emotional journey is theirs as well. The argument in the bandstand was important as well.

His favourite leitmotif from the series is the lullaby.

About the scene in the car in episode 2 when Thomas Tallis changes into Queen: Terry’s favourite piece of classical music was the Thomas Tallis piece [Spem in Alium] so Neil asked if they can go from Thomas Tallis - a choral piece from 16th century - to We Will Rock You, and: ‘You never say no. You don’t say that you can’t do it. What you have to do is to be the first person who solves the problem.’ In the end it was a two-days work just for this little bit and he mentioned that he never had these sorts of challenges anywhere else before.

His favourite non-musical detail in the show - the crucifixion, how the scene was shot, how it was upsetting, and how it was made more effective by Aziraphale and Crowley’s inability to stop it, that they had to observe and watch it, that it had to happen. I remember seeing that at the time and thinking, I wasn’t expecting that level of brutal honesty, in terms of the pictures that I was looking at and what they chose to show. And I think all the more effective for it. 

3. Claire Anderson (the costume designer)

When creating the costumes for the characters she started with mood boards. 

Aziraphale - she knew that he needed to have something winglike in his collar so that’s why there are sweeping lapels very often. Using velvet [for the waistcoat] because that was nice and soft and had all the appropriate qualities. His watch and fob that has little gold wings hanging from it and other tiny bits of symbolism. Tartan bow tie. Beautiful cashmere checkered trousers - not quite tartan but a nod to it. A mid to late Victorian coat, Michael only made his decision on the coat a couple of days before the filming. Aziraphale in the present settled on a ring with angelic symbol and harp cufflinks, earlier his ring in ancient times has got a much more roughly hewn set of wings on it, so before jewellery making became sophisticated he modernised slightly - he magicked it up to be a bit more modern, more gentleman signet type of ring, but he never modernises entirely. His heart is much more in the past.

After they began to define Aziraphale they started to look at how the Heaven army of angels might look - the element of tartan came sort of from Aziraphale and the angels have a not-tartan kilt with a semi military type jacket and a military band across that might hold arms or not, because they are not really violent. She used spats to make them look quite neutral and genderless so hiding fastenings and concealing little details like that seemed a way to do that.

Gabriel doesn’t wear spats because he’s on Earth such a lot. His shoe has a cover with two buckles on the side giving the same neutral element. He wears a cashmere light-as-air suit.

The other angels are all in bastardized versions of what era they may have died in, so they could have died in the 1930s or the 1800s and the costume would have an element of that era about it - though of course as an angel you can change things.

The Quartermaster Angel - the costume is a combination of slightly Indian type military, maharaja pants, longer spats from another era, all combined pieces of military tailored to be magical and slightly nonsensical, as Heaven might be.

Crowley - she felt that he wrapped around like a snake sheds its skin so she wanted something double breasted because that seemed to envelope his snakey charm. David wanted to be more casual than wearing a suit. Under his collar he always has a flash of red like the snake that he comes from - the red belly. They put a red seam into the sole of his boots so always there is a hint of where he came from. The red tie in the blitz. He was more rock and roll than Aziraphale and modernised more to a snakehipped rock and roll star really. His present jacket - the fabric there is quilted, they found an 80s jacket that had elements of things they enjoyed - part of that was that it had a slightly quilted quality to the fabric which was like a textured snakeskin. It took quite a long time to create the fabric and then to make the jacket from that - they quilted some fabric and washed and whooshed it repeatedly to create a bit of puckering in it. He has a snakey scarf around his neck like a chain mail linked scales of skin scarf that he wore that complemented his neck chain. The trousers he wore in Victorian times are the same he wore in the 60s when he meets young Shadwell. His present trousers - slightly waxy denim - we just were looking for a slithery finish. Crowley’s neck chain - there is only one in the world - her tailor has a Gothic church full of interesting stuff like busts and drapes with old things, this chain mail scarf was there and David was looking for something to complete his costume and liked it. 

Hastur and Ligur are her favourite characters - they were so enjoyable to create. She had an amazing book of 1920s and 30s criminals and they used that as a starting point, because they were all quite worn out and bedraggled and poverty stricken and like hell might be ideally. They burnt and decayed the bottom of them as if they were rotting from the Earth and rotting back into the ground - all demons have sort of gators as if they were rotting from the ground up.

One of the most difficult things was the demons - when they realized they had a few days to create hundreds of demons in South Africa (4-5 days for almost 200 demons). It was as if I had been dissolved in holy water when they asked me for another 150 costumes.

The sleeves of Anathema’s coat have been inspired by a Victorian cycling coat. 

The historical costume that Newt’s ancestor wore influenced his and Shadwell’s costumes - they used elements of the historical costume to put a little cape on Newt and Shadwell and their wax coats to give them the quality of that look. Newt's costume has a lot of mustard to make him feel a bit awkward and uncomfortable - it's not the most flattering colour on a northern European complexion.

The nuns’ headdress needed to look a little bit demonic - she bought a whole book on nuns’ headdresses for research. They also used the V in the nurse's apron because that was nicely demonic. The nurses' watch has got this Satanic symbol at the top - a little take on the medical since old nurses’ uniforms used to have watches.

For Madame Tracy she went back into the 70s, slightly Biba-esque makeup and a cape. They had only one pair of her goggles so it was always a nightmare to find them.

Which part of the cold opening is her favourite: I love ancient Rome because there is at least 6 to 12 metre of fabric in a toga and that was quite fun wrapping that around the boys and creating those., and her favourite was the Globe.

The lapels represent wings in every way and every shape and every form. Wings are very important.

4. Peter Anderson (Peter Anderson Studio created the opening title animation and in-show graphics)

The first thing that the director Douglas Mackinnon (with whom he worked on Doctor Who and Sherlock) said to him was: for all the graphics, for all the title sequence, for everything, I want you to promise me one thing, and that is very, very simple, promise that you send me emails that say: ��this might be absolutely nuts, but my idea is...’.

The opening title it’s full of easter eggs - it’s a type of sequence that’s been designed to watch a thousand times, for example: on the escalator down to Hell there is one character running up deciding that he doesn’t want to go to Hell or the sea is full of plastic bags because we don’t look after the planet.

Every single face in the title sequence is either Crowley’s or Azriphale’s, they are repeated all the way through - inspired by Neil saying that there’s good and evil in all of us, so there is a grand procession of people of all the characters from the story - marching towards Armageddon - but all the characters have been taken over by good or evil. And along the way our two heroes are kind of playing tricks on each other, doing good, doing evil

The opening title combines multiple elements - two dimensional animation elements, three dimensional animation elements, CGI and live action (the people in the procession were created by live action on a travelator). So the result is a kind of strangeness - such as 3D figures with 2D animated tracked heads - which makes it unique.

Their first idea and version of the opening title was based on tapestries of old, subverting them, but then they wanted something more new and fresh.

Both Douglas and Neil were an important part of the opening title creation process.

The opening title sequence took about a year to make from the creative start with four intensive months towards the end.

One of things that inspired him was a Bauhaus theatre image from 1930s.

Question if the hand-drawn font for the graphics will be a purchasable font: no, because it was original and it’s unique and it was created just for this - it was for the love of the show and the story and it will be kept there.

In the scene where there are three photos of witchfinders - Neil and Douglas revealed in the DVD commentaries that two of them are their grandfathers - the third one is Peter’s great uncle.

Originally the signs telling us things like ‘Thursday’ or ‘Mesopotamia’ - were done as if somebody (who was living inside the television screen) ran up close to the screen and showed us the sign. In the end they simplified it, only showing the signs. The one time that it was sort of left in the show was when in Episode 5 a little demon in the video game shows a sign ‘GAME OVER’.

Outside of his work on it, what was his favourite thing on Good Omens: spending time with Douglas and Neil, and also working with Milk VFX - I think I can honestly say it's the best job I've ever worked on with the nicest people. 

5. Paul Adeyefa (Disposable Demon)

He first read the book when preparing for the audition - the character wasn’t in the book but he got into it, loved it and couldn’t put it down.

He didn’t know about the name Eric until the script was published and people started calling the demon that, he really likes the name and thinks it fits.

There was a version of the script where the demon was going to be dressed in different costumes each time he was discorporated (for example one in long hair wearing a dress) - they would be all the same but different incarnations, in one version they had different accents. 

The first scene he shot was the one where the demon goes to Heaven to deliver the Hellfire (and also wants to hit ‘Aziraphale’ which was cut). That first day was also his favourite moment of shooting because there was an immediate welcoming atmosphere and everyone was lovely and in love with the production.

Disposable Demon is like a permanent intern, running errands for the higher ups in Hell.

His favourite part of the costume were the eyelashes (though he loved the whole costume).

If he could change anything about the costume he would also want cool contact lenses - some brightly coloured ones.

Question what animal (like other demons have on their heads) comes to mind when we see the Disposable Demon: he didn’t think about it at the time, but later he saw people talking about his horns as bunny ears and found it interesting, and also the facts that there are so many of him and that he is quite happy and friendly for a demon so the bunny makes sense, so he might be a sort of a rabbit. Or perhaps something goat type because of the horns.

Question if there is another role in Good Omens he would have liked to have played: he always thought that the four horsemen were very cool and Pollution was his favourite so probably Pollution (also was the most jealous of Pollution’s contact lenses). 

If there were a season 2, he would be there in a heartbeat.

Question about Eric’s feelings on Crowley, if he’s a bit of a Crowley fan: I think he might be. There is something about Crowley and how he is somehow a little bit different from the rest of the demons. - and the Disposable Demon has, much like Crowley, interest in the human world. He could well be 6,000 how many years old, the same as everyone else, but he seems to have this younger vibe and I think he thinks that Crowley is quite cool.

Good Omens fandom is his first experience with a fandom of this scale. It speaks a lot, the fact that this kind of very, this minor character, a character who is only on screen for a very short amount of time gets any kind of attention at all, it's quite amazing really, it goes to show how big and enthusiastic the fans are. I never experienced anything like that.

6. Jeremy Marshall-Roberts (the owner of Mary the Bentley)

When Crowley used a miracle to switch off the Bentley lights in Episode 1 at nuns manor it was done by: there was actually a very small guy called Louis turning on and off the switches quickly.

David Tennant was allowed to wear the snake eye contacts for only 3 hours a day otherwise they could damage his eyesight.

For Mary, the Bentley, it was the second time she was ‘blown up’ on film - first being in the Endeavour with Inspector Morse about three years earlier.

He was a bit nervous during filming the bookshop fire scene because the Bentley was so close to a real fire - not wanting the paint to blister. The car was moved off after a few minutes of filming but still.

About the damage to Mary: Unfortunately, we overran, and Rob my stunt driver had already booked a holiday and off he went and so when he returned in January, on the 10th of January, I had this new driver who really had no clue how to drive old cars, so I showed him around, I showed him to go around corners. He came around the corner, the door was not closed properly for some reason and the door flew open as he went around. And instead of slamming on the brakes which is extremely efficient and would stop him straight away he kept on going, hit another car and really smashed the door quite badly. It did take the car off the roads for 10 months. The door was completely remade because of this accident and it cost the total of  £24 000 to rebuild the car to get it back to running as it is today.

The Bentley’s part most difficult to maintain and service is the engine. 

Would Mary be available for a potential season 2: definitely!

The Evanses: Preschool Tour - Chris Evans [Headcanon]

[dad!chris x mom!reader x daughter!lily] [Lilyverse]

After you and Chris got married, you both moved to Boston, where your little baby girl was born and raised.

Lily was turning 4 soon, which meant she was going to go to preschool.

That’s why you and Chris were on the hunt for preschools near your home.

You surfed the internet and found some options close to the house.

After a month and a half, you finally reduced it to 2 options.

After arranging appointments, the 3 of you (Dodger wasn't allowed to go this time) were on the way to tour the first place.

Lily was excited, all she knew was that she and her parents were going out and that meant always doing something fun.

Chris parked outside the place, it looked nice and welcome-y.

The principal gave you the tour, but Lily didn't seem excited, except for the part where she saw the Nemo and Dory themed infirmary.

So the 3 left to tour the next preschool that looked exactly like the pic you found on their website.

It was also had spacious and nicely decorated classrooms for a class of 10 kids with qualified teachers, an infirmary with a full-time nurse, a larger patio than the other choice, and more nice ambients. The only bad thing was that this one was a little more far away than the previous, but the amenities justified the distance.

Lily had a thrill in this one, she loved the playground and the vegetable garden that included an area for some animals.

“There's a bunny, mommy!” she yelled when she saw the animal, who was chewing some vegetables.

“We believed that kids learn values by doing chores like planting, harvesting, and taking care of animals.” the principal said as you kept walking around the garden.

“And chickens, daddy! Can we have a chicken?” she asked him, with puppy eyes” Chris turned to look and you, you shook your head.

“Maybe in the future, baby”

“What bout a bunny?”

“We’ll see, Lily” he told her before continuing the tour.

The principal left the 3 of you in a classroom, so you can discuss with Chris and Lily.

“Do you like the place?” Chris asked your daughter, who sat on one of the small chairs.

“Yeah, why?”

“What do you think about studying here?”

“With the chickens?”

“Yes”

“No, with other kids” you corrected Chris.

“And what bout the chickens?”

“You can play with them"

“okay”

Chris and you did the paperwork while Lily went to play with the animals, an assistant keeping her company.

“I guess our baby is growing” Chris said while walking back to the car.

"I swear that if you start crying right now, Chris"

“What? it's a big day today” he pretended to wipe a tear.

“I’ll make sure to film you crying on her first day” you replied, you heard Chris laughing and your daughter asking for chickens for her birthday as you got in the car.
