#There is at least a Connie in there. Because of course there is. lol

Was stuck at some place for over a day and didn't bring any of my digital tools.

[twpsyn-who]

Soulmates AU in which your soul is bounded to your soulmate's soul.

What does that mean exactly? That when you die, if your soulmate is still alive you can't move on. Instead your soul is stuck by your soulmate's side until they die too, so the two souls can become one in death. Depending on how strong the bond between the two is, one could see (and even interact!) with their deceased soulmate.

Now this but, you know by now, JeanMarco. With Marco waking up and the first thing he saw was Jean's terrified face while looking at the dead body- Marco's half eaten dead body. He learns it pretty quickly that he can't leave Jean's side, bound to follow his best friend around. He also learns that is possible for Jean to see and hear him during the ceremony of burning the fallen soldiers during Trost ; it lasted so little, too little for all the things Marco wanted to say. If he knew Jean was listening from the beginning, he would've started with exposing Reiner and Berthold right away. By the time he took notice that not only Jean was looking at him, but listening too, it was too late. Every other word from him was meet with silence, unheard by the living.

Isn't until the 57th expedition outside the walls that Marco learns that he can interact with Jean too, touch him. In his panic after Jean's failed attack on the Female Titan Marco didn't think and went straight to his best friend's side, touching his shoulder while looking for any injuries. Jean's eyes went straight to the place Marco's was touching, looking confused- until he followed the arm and saw Marco in front of his very own eyes. And just like everything, it lasted too little for Marco's liking. The Female Titan took hold of Reiner, crushing him in her hand, and Jean could no longer see him.

It was later, much much later than either of them would've liked, for Marco to understand how everything works. To know that he could only interact with Jean when his mind was filled with thoughts of Marco. By then Jean already began to move on, the secret of Reiner and Berthold's true selves already out. So Marco could only watch, unable to be there for his other half- for Jean.

And it was when they saw the ocean for the first time that Marco understood why he was truly stuck by Jean's side. When he saw his best friend having fun with the others and realized just how much he loves him. When he realizes that all he truly wants is to be by Jean's side, the way they promised each other to do during their training days.

Edit : Think of Ben and Klaus Hargreeves for easier visual.

(This soo late lol imma edit it tomorrow sorry about any mistakes) kinda short too but anywho

Connie’s good girl

The school year has been so rough for y/n, you have been more stressed than ever and was nearly burnt out. Connie knew this and was helping as much as he could but a lot of the time he was also busy with making drops and making ‘business’ plans with ony so when he was very pleased to see you running in the living room with a piece of paper in your hand waving it around with a big grin. “Pa look, look!” You said extremely excited. He grabbed the paper and realized it was your report card and it had only As and A pluses on it, no B or C in sight. He grinned before picking you up and spinning you around in his arms, “Good job princess, all AS!” He kissed your cheeks than your neck making you squeal and giggles since you were so ticklish. “I knew you could do it mama.” You smiled shyly, it always felt good to get so much praise from Connie, other then yourself he was the only person you ever truly wanted to make proud.

“You proud of me papa?” You grinned standing up on your tippy toes to kiss him on the lips. “Mhm very proud I think my princesa need some rewards.” You beamed with glee because that means Connie was going to get you whatever you wanted. You were already spoiled as it is but now that he had a real reason to spoil you today you knew it was going to be something special.

You went to get ready right away. You sported a mini flare skirt with a cute colorfully cropped top with spaghetti straps and pink kitten heels. Your hair was in a half up half down style with two ponytails. You were very cute to say the least.

“You look cute today mama, hope you got sum’ under this short ass skirt tho.” Connie said walking up to you running his hands to you ass to check. You rolled your eyes playfully, of course you did because you knew he didn’t play about any of that with his. “Yes I do now let’s gooo” you say pulling him to the front door. You connected your phone to his Bluetooth in his all black hellcat because of course You being the princess passenger you always got to play your music in the car unless you wanted to hear his. Connie speed out of his driveway like a damn crazy man you were truly surprised he hasn’t gotten into any car accidents with the way he drives, him being a speed racer makes it no better either.

Once you were in the mall it was like a kid in a candy store, you were pulling him to every store your eyes landed on, you got sneakers, heels, couple of bags, cute clothes makeup really anything your little heart desired and Connie was right there supporting you pulling his card out as soon as you stepped up to the cashier. It made your heart swell every time he did too, not just because he was spending his money on you but because he truly treated you like a little princess.

“Con which one?” You asked holding up two bags one dark pink and the other light pink. “I don’t know baby which ever one you want.” Connie mumbled kissing you on the cheek. You huffed and pouted “that’s why I asked you I don’t know what I want papa.” You rolled your eyes still looking at both of them not paying any attention to your surroundings clearly because the older white lady standing closely behind gasped and eyed you shocked at the pet name that you normally addressed Connie as. Connie snorted a chuckle looking the lady in the eye and pointed to the dark pink one. “That one you got a lot of clothes it will match with plus papa loves you in that color.” He said pulling you close and sliding his hand down to you ass gripping it a bit inwardly laughing at the white haired women awkwardly trying to avoid eye contact. You grinned and placed the other one down planting a big kiss on his shape jawline. “I think this is all I want pa let’s go home my feet hurt.” You cried playfully limping a bit.

Connie walked out the mall with Seven bags filled in his arms and you clinging on to him like a koala bear because your feet were hurting to bad from the heel and Connie of course spoiled you to no end and one little whine from you and next thing you knew you were being carried to the car.

“Thank you for all this I really appreciate it” You shyly admit, he was so fine that sometimes it intimidated you a little like his side profile, the neck tattoos going all the way down his arm and hand. He smiled back and leaned over to place a kiss on your soft lips. “You’re welcome mama, my pretty girl so polite let’s get home so I can give you your other presents.” He smirked as he bit and tugged on your bottom lip softly making you whine and clench your legs tightly.

-

Connie pulled his gaming chair to the mirror in his bedroom and pulled his shirt off, his tattoos on his chest now visible, you had just gotten out of the shower and you had nothing on but one of his big black t shirt. No Panties or bra. “C’mer.” You walked over to him with shaking legs knowing he was about to fuck you dumb. He pulled you on his lap and got started on your neck, kissing gently and pushing his hands under you makeshift nightgown and squeezed your boobs making you moan out a little bit. You bite your lip and watched him through the mirror. He was being so gentle with you like you were made of glass, you rubbed your legs together making your slick spend from your entrance to your clit. Connie quickly caught on and grinned against your neck. “be patient mama imma get to it.” You tried your best to slow your breathing but he was in your ear whispering and touching you. You were getting turned on very quickly. Connie ignored your needy moan and continued on with the teasingly foreplay before he pulled you against his chest and pulled your legs apart opening you up.

Your breath got caught in your throat when you saw your pink insides and Connie staring holes into mirror. “Look at this pretty pink pussy…so wet is that all for me?” You were quick on nodding your head. “I know.” He took his hand and rubbed his fingers up and down your slit slowly, killing you on the inside. He rubbed your clit for a beat before sliding his thick fingers in. Your pussy was already clenching onto him. “Ah-mm please go faster” you moaned. He nodded before he stroked his fingers deeper hitting your spot. Your eyes rolled shut and leaned your head back on his shoulder. “That feel good? Tell papa let me hear you.” You tried your best but only a pathetic whine was heard. That was good enough for him..for now. He pulled his fingers from you and placed them in his mouth sucking your cum off. “Why’d you stopp?” Your spoiled ass whine kicking your foot up a little. He chuckled and flipped your around so you were facing him. “Cuz I want you to cum on my dick not my fingers now stop whining.” He pulled his sweatpants down and his dick strung out, it’s tip was pink and wet with prenut.

“Come get up on it mama.” He pulled you up higher so you were above him and rubbed his tip up and down your slit before dipping in your sweet warm pussy. Your eyes widened from the shock it had only been a few days since he had given you dick but it was so big to you that you didn’t think you’ll ever get over the shook of his tip sliding in. “P-pa- ehhh” he looked up at you seeing the look of discomfort on your face. “I know it’s all the way in.” He said before slamming you down on it. “Oh fuck! Oh fuuuuckkk!” You moaned placing your hand on his shoulders trying to balance yourself but that was all thrown off because he started thrusting from up underneath you.

You gasped loudly grabbing his shoulders. “Waitt papa wait!” He smirked and thrusted harder, his dick hitting your g spot perfectly everyday. Your finger nails gripped into his strong tattooed arm.

“Yeahhh I’m getting in that pussy huhh mama” he said his voice raspy and deep, his tongue folded on his bottom lip. Your pussy was so tight and gripping his dick so good. You nodded your head already feeling out of it.

“Tell me how it feel baby…tell daddy.”

“Good, feel good daddyy.” You whine trying to sit up to ride him, you got up on your toes and laid your hands on his torso, he grinned big watching you “you gon ride like a big girl? Oh you acting outta character today princess.” You giggled but as soon as you sunk down you quickly remembered why you didn’t ride him often. “Go ahead you can do it baby.” You slowly but surely begin going quickly hitting deeper than before. Your knees knocked together when it started getting a little to deep and good.

“Gimme it! Gimme that daddy dick papa please I been a good girl promise!” You went on and on.

“Get it than mama you in control right now.” Connie said through small groans, you shook your head you wanted to keep going but all your strength was getting zapped. You fall onto his chest shaking like a leaf, his dick popping out. “Aw princess I thought you was gonna be a big girl and take it?” Connie chuckled smacking your ass making you jump a little.

“Papa I tried it’s just so hard and my legs aren’t that strong.” You pouted.

“That’s ok, that’s why I go to the gym.” He chuckled and picked you up by your legs and put his dick back in.

He Bounced you up and down, your loud wails were surely heard by the neighbors but Connie couldn’t give a fuck he was making his pretty girl feel good and that all that mattered to him…and you. You felt like you were in a whole different dimension you were hearing color and seeing sounds, your eyes felt like they were permanently crossed.

Connie loved your fucked out face, the drool and tears making you even prettier.

“M’ gonna nut daddy please don’t wanna make a mess on the floor waitt!” You sobbed, Connie ignored you and pounded harder because that’s exactly what he wanted.

“I know baby I know gimme that juice it’s okay daddy will clean it up.” He smiled gripping your face with one hand and the other holding you up, he placed a sweet kiss on your lips.

You whined against his lips and let it all out on his dick and floors. “There we gooo, mhmm.” He groaned rubbing his pink tip up and down your slit making your cum fling all over the both of you. You placed your face in his neck embarrassed hearing the loud splashing sounds. He smiled and waited to until your breathing evened out before setting you down on his bed. “You gonna suck daddy up?”

“Mhmm” You hummed giving him the prettiest smile before bringing his dick up to your lips.

“Daddies need to get spoiled too sometimes.”

[evenmyhivemindisempty]

For the Boyd Holbrook's Character Union (god, do they need to get some decent legal aid, given all that happens to them) what's the thing that was said to them that they'll never (be able to) forget?

Steve Murphy: Connie telling him, “You know, I don’t think we’ve ever been madly in love. At least, you were never madly in love with me.” He’d dismiss it pretty quick if she snapped it at him in an argument, but it’s not said in the heat of the moment at all, and she doesn’t even sound upset. It’s a nice Saturday morning, she’s making pancakes and they’re both joking around a little, and she throws it over her shoulder with an amused sort of curiosity, like she’s just now getting the punchline of a mildly funny joke.

Donald Pierce: Him and his stepdad are in bed together (after a “good day”) and his stepdad brushes back his hair and tells Pierce that nobody will ever love him like he does. Similar to Steve, this one eats at Pierce for years to come because his stepdad doesn’t sound mean at all as he says it, just pensive.

Cap Hatfield: He’s five years old and gutting some rabbit he’d caught in his snare, and his mom comes up, kisses the top of his head and tells him he’s her wonderful little hunter. When he very readily agrees, she pushes a piece of butterscotch candy into his mouth and smiles at him so sweetly. It’s such a warm association!

Clement Mansell: When he was ten, his mom came home at 2am from a three-day-long bender. She was always unpredictable after she’d been drinking - sometimes she was so affectionate, sometimes she got *nasty*, and she was in the latter sort of mood that night! He found her in the kitchen and she gave him a look and told him so spitefully, and out of the blue, that the real reason his dad ran off was ’cause he couldn’t stand looking at Clement’s stupid simpering face. She’d given Clement so many different stories about why his dad left his immediate response was to storm off and tell himself she was lying, but decades later he still thinks about it and feels so damn awful.

The Corinthian: Oh no, he’s forgotten. Thanks, Dream!

Eli Klaber: The first time the older neighborhood girls got him dressed up in their clothes and makeup he was twelve, and one of them gasped and so sincerely told him he was the prettiest girl she’d ever seen, she didn’t believe he was a boy at all.

Danny Maguire: He flunked out of college his first semester. His dad didn’t give him the big lecture he was expecting when he came home, tail between his legs. Instead he looked at Danny all stone-faced and very coolly said, “If you weren’t lucky enough t’have been born my son, you’d be absolutely no one.”

Ty Shaw: Abby telling him, a few months before she overdosed, that this place was gonna kill her.

Quinn McKenna: His wife’s wedding vows. Haha! Just kidding. Rory’s first word. Lol! Fooled you again! Of course not, silly billy. The actuality is a lot sadder and more boring. It was his dad asking him over breakfast what branch of military he was gonna join after high school. Quinn was fifteen, had pretty good grades, was very athletic - objectively, he certainly had other options, but these were the only real options.

[whateverisbeautiful]

How do you feel about the other couples on the show? Glenn and Maggie, Carol and Ezekiel, Denise and Tara, Aaron and his husband (forgot his name), Abraham and Rosita, Abraham and Sasha, Father Gabriel and Rosita, Daryl and Connie.

This one’s interesting! I’ve never really delved into other TWD couples all that much, so it was fun to write my little take on each of the ones you asked about here. I wrote it in order of my least to most favorite of these couples. Thanks for the question.☺️

#8: Father Gabriel and Rosita: I must admit, when these two first kissed in that S9 time jump, I thought for sure we were watching a Father Gabriel dream sequence lol. They were the most wth couple from the seasons I watched. Even Father G and Jadis made more sense since they both have had snake tendencies throughout their TWD tenure. To me, Rosita and Siddiq were the better pair, and it would have been nice to see them last together.

#7: Denise and Tara: Denise was definitely the better half of this couple. I really liked her, and was never crazy about Tara. To me, the most likable thing about Tara was her relationship with Denise. Both before and after her relationship with Denise, I really didn’t care much for her. But as a couple, I thought they were overall sweet in the brief moments that focused on them.

#6: Abraham and Rosita: I think Abraham and Rosita’s breakup scene really taints my overall view of this relationship because it was so cold hearted and made it seem like what they had was never as meaningful to Abe as it was to Rosita which was sad.. They were okay together, even tho in retrospect they do seem like a pairing that made it work rather than just being naturally really compatible.

#5: Aaron and Eric: They didn’t get much focus together, so I didn’t really have any particular feeling about this couple. They were cool and I like that they sorta took Daryl in when the group first arrived at ASZ. I was super neutral on them but then their final moments together in season 8 were genuinely heartfelt, and so that made me care more about them just as they were saying goodbye.

#4: Carol and Ezekiel: I liked these two together. They were quite opposite from each other but it worked. It was nice seeing Carol get to experience a genuinely good guy who really loved and respected her after enduring Ed. Exekiel brought out a lighthearted optimism in Carol that she needed and he felt she saw him for more than his royal persona which he needed. It was sad they split after losing Henry. I get they have to grieve in their own ways but it was disappointing that Zeke got a little emotionally abandoned when she left him. That situation made me all the more grateful that Richonne’s marriage survived and remained truly healthy after losing their kid.

#3: Glenn and Maggie: Ok so this one is interesting because of course I really like Glenn and Maggie together but I’ve just never been crazy about how they initially got together in s2. It was fitting I guess for two young people in an apocalypse but idk it’s a little rushed. And then because they were supposed to be the prominent twd love story it started to feel like they had less and less involvement in other parts of the story. I think Glenn especially was under utilized in s5 and s6. But their love and devotion to each other was moving, especially in season 3. One of the most heartfelt elements of their storyline was seeing Hershel come to embrace Glenn as a son. It’s good Glenn and Maggie found each other in this world. And thinking about it now, I’d have loved to see Glenn, Maggie, Rick, & Michonne on a run or excursion or something together in Richonne’s canon era before Glenn was tragically taken for good.

#2: Daryl and Connie: These two would absolutely be my 2nd favorite twd couple below Richonne, if they had become canon. Daryl & Connie really should have been official because they’re so good together. And it really seems like the only reason they didn’t is because of outside schedule conflicts and maybe Daryl needing to be solo for his France spin-off. But I loved this pair, Once Rick left TWD, the show had so few threads and relationships that felt fresh and compelling imo, and the ones that still had heart were Michonne and her kids and Daryl and Connie to me. I love the way they understood each other and the way Connie brought out such a sweet side of Daryl. They both lit up around each other. They had a great natural chemistry. And their energy together was so sweet and warm. I always like to think whenever Daryl comes back home and Rick gets to observe Daryl around Connie, Rick’s gonna quickly pick up on something between them and let Daryl know he should go for it.

#1: Abraham and Sasha: This one surprised me and their time as a couple was brief, but I actually really loved these two together. And I felt the show did a good job of making both Sasha’s relationships (with Bob and then with Abe) feel just right for her in their own unique ways. After she had experienced so much loss and trauma in season 5, I’m glad Sasha got to find new love and enjoyment in life again with Abraham in season 6. I like that Abe’s humor and Sasha’s no-nonsense actually balanced each other out and brought out good sides of each other. I think it’s so heartwarming that Abraham felt so hopeful about the future because of being with Sasha and even wanted a kid with her. And that peace sign he gives her in the lineup and Sasha’s reaction to it😭. That small heartbreaking moment between them lingered with me for awhile. Then I liked getting even more insight into their loving and supportive dynamic in Sasha’s flashbacks from her final episode. For being such a short-lived relationship they got me to care and believe they sincerely found a good thing with each other.

[moonspirit]

HELLOOOO!! I guess I wanted to know what you think about this: I was thinking about something and I know it could end up being against something that a lot of people don't agree with or imagine to be something relatively correct but...

>>I<< I think that despite the odds, Armin likes to smoke, just regular cigarettes and only sometimes when he's with Jean, Connie and Reiner, but hey: I don't believe he's a big smoker like I believe Reiner is, but I believe he smokes at least once or twice a week. And he likes to learn new cigars because politicians like them and he wants to talk about other banal things besides politics and economics. What's more: he doesn't smoke around Annie because he knows she HATES CIGARETTES, and he always showers and brushes his teeth well before kissing or hugging her.

As for Annie, I think she likes beer and that one of her hobbies is tasting wine and trying new restaurants. She knows how to appreciate and give the best advice for choosing the best beer and wine, and I believe she must be like a “lifesaver” for Armin when they decide to have some kind of meeting with colleagues from the political world. I also believe that Armin is not someone who likes to drink beer or wine, whiskey... I think that if there is juice or water he will always prefer them over alcohol.

(sorry I talk too much, this got huge 😭)

Hello hello anon! You don't talk too much, I'm glad to have you in my inbox haha xD No worries~

But I don't think you're the minority here, not at all! Lots of people agree with the smoking bit, y'know, and for all the reasons you say. Post-rumbling Armin is forced into playing a role he does not want to play which also causes him a great deal of stress, mentally and socially - of course it's really natural to assume, also given the time-period, that he picks up smoking in some attempt to cope with all of it.

And I agree with you on how smoking would be a conversation-opener of sorts; these things were socially engaging activities to indulge in back in the times, I think, and it was more or less expected to join in. Armin and all the guys, maybe even Pieck, I can see them picking up the habit of smoking quite easily, lol.

Not Annie tho. No cigs for her, just chocolate please xD (and smelly jail for all the others!)

But her being into wine tasting!!! I'd never thought of that in particular, but it's interesting! Maybe the first time she does it is in response to smelling something funny in one of their drinks (and it turns out to be right) and then proceeds to keep up the check every next time? Only, she finds herself reaaaally enjoying the taste of nice wine and hmmmm maybe she enjoys it too much hmmmm

Also it's cute to think she'd have a penchant for wine of all things liquid xD

But she's absolutely a big restaurant enthusiast, hands down. She likes eating! Especially if they're sweet!

[sentience-if]

as a thought experiment, may i ask how the other ROs would have reacted if they had found the MC instead of Val??

like, we see the MC visits Val a lot, and we see a dependency there that is semi-financial (in addition to other things) and how Val has impacted the MC somewhat (although a major part of that depends on the player's decisions about the MC's personality, there is still a foundation that orbits Val, at least i think so). im just curious both what fundamental changes would have happened to the MC had someone else "been their Val", as well as if these other ROs would have even... "been a Val", so to speak? or would they have turned the MC over to someone else (idk, jailers? scientists?? a convent???) only to never see them again-- or, perhaps, meant to do that but then kept seeing the MC anyway due to a "weird" urge to check in or maybe due to coincidence...????

idk, just sounded like a fun thought experiment of a scenario lol

sorry this took me like 2 business months. spoiler-free edition because I have in fact already written the scene where io and Val meet

Klaus: if they'd met when Klaus was acting under an official context, he'd have ignored Io entirely, as focusing on the well being of anyone who isn't the High Priest is extremely not his job. If it was just Klaus out on his own, he'd probably have enlisted the help of one of his personal (non-religious) friends, paying them to keep an eye on this weird stranger until they're recovered. Idk how well this would go as I haven't put a single thought towards what kind of people Klaus' city friends are, but he would only maintain a mild, passing interest. Io would have little to no idea he was ever involved.

Kat: Io would be a lot less naive, for sure. they're not spending any time wondering if they're different because they already know they are. kat's entire mission shifts to figuring Io out and she's totally open with them the entire time. This would be... a very different game lol

Connie: torn between taking Io to Klaus and taking them to their family. the latter wins out since Con knows Klaus doesn't have time for this. Io becomes the weird family friend that lives in the guest room for a few months until they finally move out, a house just down the street. depending on Io's personality, I could even see Connie letting them move in to their own house. This version of Io is the best at passing at a normal citizen, but maybe in the end has the biggest crisis about Not Being Like Other Girls, since they have such a good "normal" to compare themself to

Ira: current-day Ira would be pretty similar to Val- fully taking Io in, supporting them and being a friend they can't live without; though of course, with far less illegal activities lol. I imagine Io would have read every book Ira owns five times over by now. Ira five years ago, however, was in no place to take care of someone else. they would have done their best, but it would not have gone well. I'll stop there bc honestly. spoilers.

[quill-pen]

So, DnDverse question. We know Adonis basically gets ping-ponged into the fantasy dimension to get rid of him from his modern timeline.

Then he meets the Cratchits, Bess and Wolf, Connie, and obviously begins to set up a life there. Takes over the manor. Marries, settles down.

Do you think there’s ever any intervention or magic that comes up where some mage is like, “Good news! We can send you back to your own universe. One Ebenezer here, the other Ebenezer there! Just let me know when.”

I’m sure it’s somewhat of a choice. I mean, he was ripped away from the life he knew. But also, leaving his new found-family? Leaving Connie?

And if this conversation came up while Connie was already secretly pregnant, I imagine she hasn’t told him, so she goes to Bess that night and just sobs about losing him.

“I can’t keep him here, Bess! He should go home … if he wants. I shouldn’t be selfish, but gods preserve me, my heart will break without him. How could I go on? How could our baby go on?”

This is such an interesting topic, and I have thought about it. Can he go back? Would he go back? Who would offer to send him back? Would Connie go with him back to his world if he went?

Interestingly enough, I actually see the Queen of the gods being the one to offer to send him back. She approaches him somehow, somewhere, someway, and tries to tempt him into returning to his home. "We both know you don't belong here. You weren't born of this world; what does it have to offer you, child?" She tries to play it off as benevolent mercy. What it is, really, is her own self-interest and self-preservation, because he's part of the group destined to end her reign. Without him, the prophecy doesn't come true. Of course, nobody knows that yet. But they do know, via the moon goddess at the very least, that the high goddess is not to be trusted.

However, after she's defeated, and they can find someone powerful enough to do the magic to send him back, is a different story.

Does Adonis consider it? I mean, who wouldn't really? Yes, the world he came from was harsh and cruel, and he was alone and friendless in it, but that was the only home he'd ever known before being sent here. And I'm sure he wonders what's happening there without him. Is Harry all right? Does he miss him? Is he looking for him? Is anybody? Do they even know he's gone? And he probably has regrets about being so cruel and not making amends back in that world, now that he's a changed man here. Going back is not something to jump into or brush off so quickly; it's too complicated for that. He has to think.

Funnily enough, while Bess is consoling Connie, I can see Wolf being the one to go to Adonis to have a chat. I think that brotherly relationship from other worlds just kinda... carries over here. The two of them have a long talk about home and what it really means and about what's really important in life. They've both learned a lot since their... change of situations.

"I've travelled all over this land at least twice, in my time," Wolf says. (Due to his lycanthropy, I imagine Wolf is even... older in this world. lol) "I've even explored a few others. Even before I was bitten and forced into that life, when I had a roof fit for a lord over my head and money overflowing and then some in my coffers, I've never experienced what home was until I met my Brightness.

"Whenever I think of home, I don't think of four walls and a door post, or a roaring fire under a solid roof in a rainstorm, or a comfortable bed in the dead of winter, or even a table stocked with a feast at the end of a long day--I think of Bess. Her smile, her laugh, her kisses, her arms, her scent, her warmth, her heartbeat. Everything else about home comes from her; she's the foundation. Without her, I'd have none of it at all.

"So, let me ask you this, Brother: when you think about home, who do you see?"

When Adonis and Connie meet up again, later, I think Adonis just goes to her and pulls her into a tight embrace and solid kiss. If she says this feels like a goodbye, he nods. "It is. To whatever was before this world--before you. Wherever you are, Constance, that is my world. You, Sunflower... you are home."

The Ultimate "We Were Robbed" Tag Game

They could have been the greatest, but they never got the chance, because of... well, you name it. Show cancellations. Leaving actors. Unnecessary(!) character deaths. Drama for the sake of drama. Wasted potential. Pointless build-ups. Blind or clueless writers. Brutal showrunners...

Of course we all get that not every fictional couple can make it - rational beings as we are 😉 - but sometimes their 'not making it' does feel sad, bitter or unacceptable, leaving us with nothing other than "what could have been..."

Sooo let's take a moment and honor those ships for once (and/or yell at their creators a little - lol)!

Rules: post a gif of (max) ten of your ships that come to mind reading the above (with or without further explanation), then tag some other(s) to do the same.

‐------‐--------------------------‐---------------------------------------------------

Funny thing: I didn't even like Dani that much before she met Gigi. But from the moment they did, they were just... ALL this show was about. Until these idiot writers had to f*ck it up the second they got together for NO apparent reason. Which leaves me forever bitter about them, and The L Word: Gen Q.

Knowing Midori wanted to leave Grey's Anatomy I was highly aware that getting invested in Mika and Jules was a very bad idea, but as it turned out they'd already won me over by then. Being both (super) sweet & caring and fun & hot, they really had the potential to be Grey's ultimate couple since.... Calzona maybe?! At least it's Grey's, a show that doesn't know how to end and eventually brings everyone back! 🤡😜

In all those years of The Walking Dead I never pictured "lone wolf" Daryl with anyone... until he met Connie. From the moment they started to bond, I could actually see them together. Even more, I wanted it, for him especially. And with an actual series finale, the writers could have easily made it happen. Instead Daryl got his spin-off in France and Connie - apparently - didn't fit that script. Sigh...

Talking about deserving someone: boy, did I feel for Bea, struggling the way she did with herself and her love for Ava. Getting this close after all, only to lose her the way she did... so cruel! The cancellation that followed made things even worse, taking away any chance for them. Unfair has a name, it's Warrior Nun.

Also due to another cancelation, the Bienvenidos á Eden one, they left Bel and Zoa on an almost literal cliffhanger... and us with empty hands. While for reasons that didn't had much to do with the plot (I do admit), I def wasn't done with them! #NotAmused

What can I say? I think anyone who was only slightly invested in HIMYM's Robin & Barney felt robbed by that series finale. I was def no exception.

I'm in no way saying they hurt me with this, but every time I remember that Glee's Quinn and Santana hooked up, I do smile and wonder what could have been. Don't @ me but I might have preferred them over Brittana (at least for a while) and would have loved to see more of them then just that one episode.

Okay back to more serious: what the HELL happened to Max and Helen?! Again I can handle break-ups, they are part of romance and fiction, but theirs didn't make any sense and came with some real character assassination. Pretty unforgivable and - to me - kind of the end of New Amsterdam, which was, in the end, built from the start around these two.

Last but not least: Clarke and Lexa. Seemingly predictable. But no, I'm not mad that they killed off Lexa (I know I'm only one of a few, but I actually got that part, even though I hated the non-heroic way it happened)... I just really hate that it had to happen right after them finding each other. With that, they really took something from them... and us. The chance to actually see them, experience them as a couple. Even if it had been for half a season, a few episodes for that matter. But we got nothing. Nothing! (...nothing 🥺)

Tagging: @englishstrawbie (oh how we keep going back and forth 😄) and @padmaddean @artofdoubt @siddiqtwd @this-blog-needs-a-new-name @black-rabbit-in-winter @pinkhysteria @world-of-ryan @wlwarie (since I used all your gifs 🤭) - of course only if wanted!

[denv2]

doodles (include OC)

I'll talk about the drawings and my life at once below!

First, let's talk about pictures.

1. alex & kitty

The last cut is just blank because I don't know what to draw.

I'm infinitely interested in the past between these two characters and Felix in babitim as Felix's nightmare in the labyrinth... But in the story, Kitty was hugging Alex, apologizing to Felix, right?

But it's a nightmare, so I think it's even worse for Felix, and in reality, even though "it" happened, I wonder if Kitty would have come to her senses and broken up with Alex afterward...

No matter how I look at it, I tend to think that Alex took Kitty away from Felix because of the way the story was written... But I think Alex didn't take it away because he liked her, he took it away because he wanted to bully Felix, so I also think that Alex's interest in her would have turned off quickly. Sorry Alex fans, I like bad guy Alex, at least babitim's Alex is definitely a bad guy.

But I'm not supporting AlexKitty, I'm supporting FelixKitty... Of course, within BABITIM, I support osix! I'm talking about the cartoon version ;)

Anyway, I just wanted to draw Alex laughing his ass off after getting slapped. And the look of disdain on the lady's face... (sorry)

2. rosco & candy

I drew Rosco and Candy again! Last time I only drew their faces, so I wanted to make sure I got their bodies right.

Candy has a similar feeling to the cartoon version, but Roscoe has become a bit thicker according to my taste😋. Well... All au characters are a bit different from the original, so I just rationalized that they are different.

I drew them because I wanted to match the deforme, and I needed something more specific for the story I'm playing with in my head about OC😙

3. OC - Rency doodles (AU ver)

I'm still drawing and playing with Rency! I used to play with OCs, so now that I have another OC after a long time, I keep thinking about it and imagining my own story.

Personally, I keep drawing him because he has a soft cute fluffy atmosphere.. I just want to hug him...😽

But if you ask me what kind of story I'm making, I tend to think about the past, not really related to the main story of babitim. That's why I drew Rosco and Candy in this au deforme! I mainly think about the past in the mid-20s, but Felix doesn't appear because he's already left the city. Of course, there are stories that are related to the main story. I tend to imagine this part in conjunction with my other OC, Conny(rabbit), or even a story after the completion of the main story. So it's divided into three branches.

Anyway... I've drawn a lot of AU versions, so I'm thinking of doing some cartoon versions next!

Rency has become quite different even though the AU and cartoon versions are similar, but I think that's true for all the other characters as well. Especially my cartoon Alex... He's become quite mellow. A bit of a bad guy and a full-fledged villain is what AU Alex is all about, and cartoon Alex has become a bit milder due to mixing tastes. I think it's because I like Alex who can't win against Rency, lol.

I'll tell you all about me now!

Um... I actually went to a computer school for 6 months, I think I'll finish soon and start finalizing my portfolio and going to interviews. I'm applying for a job as a front-end developer...haha.

I recently read Inky! I hope the authors are well rested and back. I think the story is getting deeper and deeper. I want our Bendy, Boris, and all the other characters to be happy, but I wonder how many more trials and tribulations will come before the end...

And I recently played Deltarune, I really really really love it, it was worth the years of waiting, now I'm waiting for chapter 5... My favorite character in chapters 3 and 4 is Tenna, because I like mech characters... For the record, Noelle is my favorite character, followed by SCC! Of course, I also really like Kris and Susie, in fact I like all of them, so I can't pick a favorite.

And... I bought a switch 2. Yay! I'm so excited for Pokémon Legends ZA and Donkey Kong Bananza!

I've been rambling for a while. I'll post another one later when I have more pictures!

[give-levi-lexapro]

I'm the most Casual™️ and Well-Adjusted™️ AOT Enjoyer

Madi ~ 28 ~ She/Her

Main blog it's mostly shitposts <3

Formerly world-famous Cowboy Bebop blog that I now neglect (Spike-and-Faye for those in the know)

I eat sleep and breath this fucking show and it's so fucking awful to be in 'up-tight corporate business career' meetings with various executives and ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS GOTDAMNED FUCKING AOT.

Reading and Writing AOT Fics is my Life <3

💖 Send me any fic writing ideas/requests you have!! 💖

and I'll write a one-shot of it!!! I prefer Levi x Reader but I'm always down for a writing challenge >:) (These are in addition to the longfic Levi/Reader slowburn I'm writing)

💖 Please also send any fic recommendations 💖

Particularly Levi ones! I am a glutton for Levi/Reader fics, but I'm also huge into Eruri. I'll read almost any ship though at this point, unless it's between the vets and the 104th.

Prefer canonverse but like I said I'll read just about anything* [*UNLESS it involves pregnancy lol. Tokophobic af.]

My recommendations for Levi/Reader canonverse fics!

💖 Currently writing a lengthy Levi/Reader fic that is the longest, fluffiest, slowest slow-burn ever 💖

and at this point may as well be fucking GOT with how close I am to finishing it. 🥴 I may post bits and pieces of it here and there, idk. I just really, really love writing Levi trying not to fall in love and then not being able to stop himself. Fuck man. Chefs gotdamn kiss. I just don't think I could write a really good Erwin, plus I kinda like writing him as being mildly sociopathic. We're at 150k words as of 3/16/25 and from what I have outlined for the rest of the story we're looking at at least 300-400k words when it's done. But tbh I am having SO much fun writing this shit and it's so self indulgent and LEVIIIIII IS SO MMMMM Can't decide if I'm gonna leave the smut in or not but I will be publishing it to AO3 ... Eventually...

No one asked, but (below the cut) here are some AOT hills I'll die on:

I don't ship Levihan, BUT that's just because I ship Hange only with Science and:

I firmly believe Hange is aro/ace nonbinary (they/them) angel (theyngel) Am I projecting? Probably. Who knows. Look Hange is my comfort character and I think 'What would Hange do?' 420x times a day

Moblit is a Gay Man 🏳️‍🌈 Make Moblit Gay Again 2025

Eruri is my own personal brand of heroin and I will die to this addiction happily. Controversial take: LEVI IS THE TOP

The Scouts of the 104th cadet corps are my literal children. My precious babies. I breastfed them. Raised them from wee lambs. [she says, literally revolted by the idea of having children] I don't really sexualise any of them with the glaring exception of season 4 Reiner, who I'd doink out of his suicidal ideation

YUMIHISU = ♾️!!! I literally have so many happy-ever-after AUs for these two it's not even funny

I'll ship Eremika until I die. In my heart they were in the cabin timeline for fifty years and lived happily ever after.

I'll also ship Jeanpiku until I die and you know its bi for bi 💖💜💙

Aruani neutral

If there are 1million Floch haters, I am one of them. If there are 10 Floch haters I am one of them. If there are no Floch haters, then I'm fucking dead.

Here's the most controversial one, please feel free to fight me in my DMs: I FUCKING LOVED THE ANIME ENDING AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY EVERYONE DISLIKES IT SO MUCH????

My only real complaint is that all the Marleyan Warriors families just happened to survive to the end. That felt so Disney to me. I think the only one that should've survived was MAYBE Annie's dad, and tbh I really don't gaf about him. Reiner's mom should've lived to see him fight as the Armored Titan, realize what a colossal piece of shit she was to make him become that, and then DIE before she could make amends. That said, I WOULD have liked to see Connie's mom transformed back into a human at the end!!!

Maybe because I watched all of AOT over the course of like 3 months, having never watched any of it before, so I never had that interim period of waiting and predicting how Isayama would end things. IDK man. I think AOT is the best piece of media ever created. It gives fucking Dostoyevsky a run for his money. Holy shit. Whew.

Technicolor Familiar Watches Too Many Conrad Veidt Movies Part 1 of ?

Apropos of nothing, I find myself wading around waist deep in Conrad Veidt's filmography, at least the titles I can easily find online.

I've been writing down my mostly brief impressions after each movie, mainly for my own entertainment since I know exactly zero other people who would care lol. I actually created a Mastodon account especially for this purpose, since my primary socials aren't really for this sort of thing. But the character limit on Mastodon is seriously cramping my style, so I'm going to be annoying about this on Tumblr, my self-imposed blog expectations be damned.

I'm not doing plot summaries, but there are spoilers. I'm not watching these movies in any particular order other than what I'm in the mood for on any given day. I'm half trying to keep the thirst levels to a minimum, but no promises; all bets were off after watching A Woman's Face. And tbh, this whole thing has turned into an Emotional Support / Coping Mechanism / Escapism Tactic because hoo boy is my brain bad these days. But be forewarned, I'm not a writer, I'm not a film critic. I just like movies and turns out I like Conrad Veidt a lot too. I'd probably have more and better things to say about a lot of these upon a second or third watch.

So as of late November, I'm 15 films deep with a lot more to go. I'm thinking about splitting this up into multiple posts, maybe like 5ish films/post. Originally I was going to see how many of these movies can I watch before the end of 2023. But I'm just going to keep going until I run out of available titles or I get sick of Connie's face (unlikely).

The Man Who Laughs, 1928 Dir. Paul Leni ⭐4.5/5 Watched mid-Oct, Archive.org Nothing could have prepared me for this. Of course I was aware of TMWL, but more vaguely than I guess I realized. It's really ahead of its time. The production quality is astounding, it's an absolutely beautiful film. The whole cast is pretty great, too. The Duchess? Total smoke show. Homo the Dog? Queer icon. And Connie really swings for the fences emotionally and physically as Gwynplaine. Bear in mind, this is literally only the third Conrad Veidt movie I've ever seen (other than the basic, intro level Cabinet of Dr Caligari and Casablanca), so I was really floored by what he's able to do in this role with the use of really only half his face. There are several wonderfully haunting and heartbreaking visuals and moments throughout the nearly 2 hour runtime that will stay with me long after watching. Half a star got knocked off because the score was a little bombastic and there were one too many clowns for me personally. But those are small complaints for what may otherwise be a pretty perfect film.

Unheimliche Geschichten (Eerie Tales), 1919 Dir. Richard Oswald ⭐3/5 Watched mid-Oct, Archive.org A romp. The version I watched had no soundtrack at all, making for a totally silent viewing experience. The vignette structure and old school effects are fun. I enjoyed seeing Anita Berber in action although maybe I was expecting more because of all the hype surrounding her/her image. But Connie, Anita, and Reinhold Schünzel seem like they had a good time working on this project. "The Black Cat" and "The Suicide Club" were my favorite sections (and I actually watched this when I was in the middle of Netflix's The Fall of the House of Usher, so yay for extra Poe content in the spookiest month). As for Connie Content, what can I say, he's stunning.

The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari, 1920 Dir. Robert Wiene ⭐3.5/5 Watched Oct 17, Archive.org I went hard with the silent era when I started this journey. Caligari was my intro to Conrad Veidt almost 15 years ago, and as a lapsed goth art student, I remember being bewitched by his strange and off-putting presence on screen. My rating for this one is kind of low compared to how undoubtedly iconic and important of a film it is. It could have been my mood but upon rewatching, but the story fell a little flat for me. I did like the updated score in the version I watched, and I would love to see this one on the big screen maybe with a live orchestra some day.

Orlacs Hände (The Hands of Orlac), 1924 Dir. Robert Wiene ⭐4/5 Watched Oct 17, Archive.org Loved. It's so horny and bizarre (the scene with the maid crawling on the floor? same, girl, same). And visually the most pre-David Lynch Lynchian-looking movie I've ever seen. The shots that linger on highly stylized, cavernous, empty rooms before a character enters? So David Lynch. I'm also a big fan of the psychological body horror and crime thriller genre mashup. It's got twists, it's got turns. Conrad Veidt's your man if you ever needed a Hand Actor. Like the handsiest Hand Actor who ever had a pair of hands. Someone who could really work those mitts.

A Woman's Face, 1941 Dir. George Cukor ⭐4.5/5 Watched Oct 18, Vudu & TCM Jumping way forward in Connie's career. This movie did things to me. This was, I think, the point of no return. It's extremely underrated, I'm legitimately surprised I'd not heard of it before diving down this rabbit hole. That said, it is strange and pretty spicy for a Hays Code era picture. It's so good, I actually watched it twice (it aired on TCM as a part of their creepy cinema series). Visually beautiful and narratively interesting, if maybe a little long despite the rushed ending. Shout out to Joan Crawford for giving what's probably the best performance of hers, at least that I've seen (Mildred Pierce who?). And then there's nasty, nasty Conrad Veidt. He very nearly steals the movie from Joan, I couldn’t take my eyes off him. He's beautiful, he's TALL, he's scary. Genuinely shocked he doesn't have second billing. But what else can I say about his Torsten Barring that hasn't already been said more eloquently by others? It's such a great character, and I believe he said it was one of his favorites during his entire 100+ film career. A Woman's Face is the only title on this list so far where immediately after watching I wanted to buy the dvd. Ugh, we deserved several more decades of Connie in roles like this.

I'll probably post the next few one day soon, where I finally get into some titles from the 1930s.

[lonelier-version-of-you]

Okay, I might as well say this now because if I don't talk about it while it's on my mind I'll probably forget to ever mention it, lol. Something I've been thinking about a lot recently, regarding Henrik and gender roles - yes I'm talking about this topic yet again - is the expectations other characters tend to hold him to of being more empathetic and more outwardly emotional and more friendly and sociable, in a way that feels quite unusual for a male character.

I think Maja in "Never Let Me Go" is probably the most clear example of what I'm talking about, especially in the scene where she outright tells Henrik: "You are unwilling, or incapable, of engaging with anyone." That's not at all dissimilar to some of the things that have been said to Jac or to Connie.

But one thing that gives me difficulty explaining my thoughts and feelings about this is that, of course, Holby has had other male characters who have been criticised by the people around them for not being empathetic enough or outwardly emotional enough or friendly enough. Luc and Arthur come to mind as just two examples.

But it just feels different when it happens to Henrik, or at least it does to me. I feel like being more empathetic, more openly emotional, and friendlier is often treated by other characters as being almost a duty Henrik has. When a character like Luc or Arthur gets criticised in-universe for not having those traits, it more often feels to me like it's being treated as a deficit on their part; whereas when Henrik gets criticised for it, it more often feels like it's being treated as a failing. I don't know if I'm making any sense, but I just think it's interesting how Henrik has a mix of stereotypically masculine expectations and stereotypically feminine expectations put on him both by himself and by the people around him.

I don't know, I suppose it's another one of those "the stereotypically masculine traits of the ice queen trope stand out for Jac and Connie because they're women, the stereotypically feminine traits of the ice queen trope stand out for Henrik because he's a man" things.

Either that or I'm reading too far into all of this and projecting Maja's expectations for Henrik onto other characters, which is also very possible. I might even go so far as to say it's probable that I am reading into this. In that case, I blame my recent lack of enough sleep. Though, even if I am reading into this and it's solely Maja putting those expectations on him - because if there's one character I'm certain does it, it's her, her relationship with Henrik is very messed up on both sides IMO - that's still quite interesting to me, considering how well she knows him.

The Spins 

Pairings: Conrad Fisher x reader

Warnings: Underage drinking/smoking

So, I was listening to The Spins by Mac Miller earlier and this imagine came to mind, idk why lol. The song isn't directly mentioned, but there is a small party scene so you can imagine it playing there. The song was just the inspo for the fic. Enjoy!

I never thought that I would find the type of men that exist in movies or books. The ones that are so beautifully written that you actually fall in love with a fictional character, wishing that someday, someone will show you that type of love. I swore that it would never happen to me, until I met Conrad Fisher.

"Can't we just stay here? I'm already so comfortable laying here with you, don't make me get up."

"We already told everyone that we would go Connie," I laughed at the boy who's laying in between my legs with his head on my chest.

"Did we like sign papers stating; we, Conrad Fisher and y/n y/l/n will be attending Shayla's party," I could feel him smile against me, knowing that he was only trying to make me laugh.

I playfully rolled my eyes, "let's go Connie, we're already late."

Finally after convincing Conrad to get up, I was able to get ready. I neatly wrapped my hair in a claw clip, leaving a few strands out to frame my face. I did some light makeup and changed into a pair of jean shorts and Conrad's Cousin's hoodie.

Conrad, watching me in awe the whole time. His favorite thing to do is admire me. He loves the way I look, everything about me. He wouldn't change anything. He swore up and down that my beauty is unlike anything, and he makes sure to remind me everyday.

"You're so beautiful y/n," he cups my face with his hands and leaves a kiss on my forehead, "please don't ever forget that."

He knows that I have always struggled with self image issues, so he wasn't expecting me to accept his words. He just needed me to know and needed me to hear him say it. I put my hands over his and smiled up at him; that was good enough for him. God, I am so in love with this boy.

We're finally on our way to Shayla's. Conrad's driving with one hand on the wheel, the other hand intertwined with mine. He lets me listen to whatever I want, because he can never say no to me. He'll never admit it, but he prefers my music because he loves to see how happy I get singing along to my favorite songs.

When we make our way into the house, we immediately notice how much fun Jeremiah is having. He's always the life of the party, he swears he can outdrink anybody .

At the party, Conrad never leaves my side. Not because he doesn't trust me, but because that's where he wants to be.

"Y/n you need to have at least one drink," Jere says while handing me a cup.

I don't drink mostly because I can't stand the taste, but also because I have social anxiety and always worried that I would be the annoying drunk that no one wants at the party. But, ever since Conrad has come into my life, I don't worry as much because I know that he will be there.

I smile at Jere and take the cup from him, "fine, but only one."

5 drinks later, Steven and I are seeing who can shotgun the fastest. Finishing first, I threw the can down. Conrad looking proud of me, picked me up while jumping up and down; everyone around us cheering me on.

"How does losing feel Steven," I said.

"I let you win."

"Sure you did," Shayla laughed while they walked away.

"You doing okay?" Conrad asks, noticing that I'm getting pretty drunk.

"Yeah I'm great," I smile at him.

This warms his heart, "good," he says.

"Can we smoke Connie?" I ask while wrapping my arms around him and looking up at him. I know that he's been wanting me to smoke with him but never wants me to feel pressured into doing it.

"You wanna smoke?" He asks with excitement in his voice, rubbing his hands up and down my arms.

"Yes, but not here. I want it to just be us."

"Of course baby, anything you want," he doesn't usually call me baby, but when he does it gives me butterflies.

Since Conrad didn't drink, he's able to drive us back to the house. I felt bad that he wasn't able to drink, I know he likes to. I knew that the reason he didn't was because he wanted to be completely sober and attentive incase I needed anything.

We finally get back into his room, the familiar scent filling my nose. I love being here, it feels like home. I immediately change into a pair of his sweatpants and a t-shirt that's too big on me because of how short I am compared to him.

As Conrad sits on the side of his bed rolling a joint, I can't help but stare at him. He doesn't have a shirt on, only wearing sweatpants. The way his hair falls in front of his eyes makes my heart jump every time. He's so unbelievably perfect. I still can't believe that he's all mine, that he wants me.

"Okay you get first hit," he hands the joint and a lighter to me.

"You always say that whoever rolls it gets first hit."

"You're not Steven or Jere. You get first hit," he looks at me, his eyes full of love.

I put the joint to my lips and light it. Hitting it for a good ten seconds, I inhaled and blew it out. Surprisingly, I didn't cough as much as I thought I was going to, but my throat still burned.

"You okay? That was a big first hit," Conrad grabbed my hand, rubbing his thumb over the back of it; always worrying about me.

After my last cough, I look at him, my eyes feeling heavy, "yes," I said smiling.

"Your eyes are so red," he shakes his head and laughs.

"Your turn," I hand it to him.

He pulls me onto his lap so that I'm straddling him. He hits the joint and then motions for me to open my mouth, which I do, and then he blows the smoke into my mouth. I can see in his eyes that he enjoyed it, and I did too.

We finish the joint while talking about anything and everything. This is what I love most about us, we never run out of things to talk about.

"I liked that," I looked into his eyes. Those blue eyes always do something to me.

His eyes travel from my lips, up to my eyes, back to my lips, "kiss me."

I lean into him, pressing my lips to his. Our lips fit perfectly together, like they were made for each other. We pull away, and he grabbed my hands and kissed the back of each one.

"I love you so much y/n," he says, almost in a whisper.

He makes my heart so full, I never thought that I would have what we have. He's the most amazing person ever, there's no one like him.

I leaned in to hug him, "I love you so much Connie."

[quill-pen]

In the universes where Wolf and Bess have the chance to plan and have a wedding ceremony, just putting it out there, Connie absolutely cries tears or joy. TeTe also tears up. Magda also tears up. Even the engagement announcement/invitation earlier in the season gets some waterworks.

All three will hold back their sniffles during the ceremony, but before/after? There are SO MANY happy, tearful hugs for her and Wolfy.

They are so, so, so elated for this amazing, kind, strong, beautiful woman to have found her happiness, and to find it with a man who loves and treasures her how she deserves to be.

Idk why I didn't notice this ask before, but this is SO SWEET. These wonderful mother figures for Bess expressing the emotions her own mother should but won't. Both of them, George, and Carl are all hogging the tissues.

Bess needs to do first looks with these two, hands down. I'm seeing so many happy sobs and hugs and kisses. So much fawning over Bess in her wedding look. Of course, they would have seen bits and pieces of the look throughout the wedding planning process, but to finally see it all put together? Bess is assured she looks like a goddess on the brink of bliss, I'm sure.

I almost kind of feel bad for these mamas, because they're mother figures to all of the og 1843D girls at least. They're going to have to shed a lot of tears for a lot of weddings there. lol
