rereading lily's letter to sirius:
starting off strong with 'dear', very formal letter writing but also kinda endearing depends how you look at it. BUT she follows with his 'padfoot' soo it's def endearing. it already shows just how close the two are from those two words.
ofc harry's favourite present was the one sirius got him (#bestdogfather)
ofc sirius gets a 1yr old a toy broom (#funnestdogfather)
i love how chill lily is about harry almost killing the cat and smashing a vase. she's so the fun mum. also petunia and lily still sending each other christmas presents, like why do i find that so sad/sweet?? idk. i love their relationship sm it's so interesting. and ik some people are gonna be thinking 'oh petunia probably regifted the ugly vase' but no. i think she went shopping specifically for lily and picked it out thinking it looked great (she's got horrible taste)
lily saying james found it funny as if she didn't also. girl please, you know you found it so fucking funny. also james already planning out harry's quidditch career. the man is obsessed. (no war au hari def would've became a professional qudditch player i fear)
btw if you're not british, "we've had a very quiet birthday tea", basically means like an afternoon tea. they're not just drinking tea, they do have tea but also some food (like lunchy food, sandwiches and cakes) and sit down at a table and chat basically. and harry will likely also be opening presents during it too
harry kinda having a doting grandma with bathilda>>>
lily prioritising the order !! she's so responsible, smart, dedicated i love her. plus she's being so real about babies. like. yeah he ain't gonna remember it anyway (also i'm guessing this means like. sirius had an order mission so couldn't come to harry's birthday? but does this mean peter and remus did too? or was only sirius invited??)
james having trouble with just staying at home constantly <33 and trying to hide it so lily doesn't worry <333 cutest husband ever.
fuck dumbledoreeeee. i don't mind him sometimes, but how dare he take james' cloak (his family heirloom) so james and lily and harry can't go on secret outing together??? they are NOT made for staying inside. james needs his runs and flying and fresh air and chats to strangers and lily needs her woods and nature and hiking and camping.
"if you could visit, it'd cheer him up so much" SHE GETS THEM.. SHE GETS THEM
lily also calling peter "wormy", they're so also her best friends and not just james', do NOT even argue.
ik people argue this bit about the mckinnons as a proof lily was never close to marlene, but it so is proof of the opposite to me!! maybe i'm coldhearted, but i would NOT be crying all fucking evening just cause a family that i kinda know and am colleagues with one or a few of them got killed.. all evening??? ALL EVENING?? yeah, they were def close friends for sure. (and she's not just gonna single out marlene because it was ALL her family, it'd be a bit weird and disrespectful to only say marlene. especially if you, as a lot of people do, hc lily and marlene as roommates and close friends all throughout school. like lily would've visited marlene's family quite a few times. she'd know them fairly well)
lily getting ALL the gossip about dumbledore from bathilda. love that for her. also her not believing dumbledore was friends with grindelwald i'm giggling. she would've lost her mind at the idea of them as exes fr (also lily building up the suspense about dumbledore being friends with grindelwald by putting the "friends with grindelwald" part on the next page so he'd have to read the next page.. she totally didn't just run out of room. that was on purpose)
"lots of love" SCREAMING. THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SM. lilypad ily. lilypad ily. bestfriends fr!!!!!!!
also not related to the text itself, but severus taking the page where lily says "lots of love" and cutting lily out of the photo of harry on his broomstick like... FUCKING MAN.. that was for SIRIUS. that's lily's love for SIRIUS. don't take her love, she didn't fucking mean it for you, don't try to pretend it was you, you absolute wanker.. anyway

And I'm coming back around with West Coast!Finnick and now peppering in Sweet Girl <3 bc I can <3
Their favorite part of aquarium dates is watching the jellyfish float around. They'll stand there, hand in hand, and just watch them do their thing. And the shark tanks. (Also, if they have kids together, family aquarium outings are very common; a fun way to teach the kiddos about the wonders of the oceans without doing too much at once)
Camping trips happen often in the summers (before the smokey season hits). Either it's just the two of them, or the whole group gets together to do it. He always picks places that are by lakes, so there are more things to do other than hiking and playing cards and board games at the campsite.
Speaking of... I think he'd like kayaking/canoeing/rafting. Idk, just fits the vibe
Road trips on I-5... the two of them... just belting Taylor Swift songs and various other music (i can picture Finnick being a theatre kid at heart) and making a scrapbook of what they did when they eventually get back home after a while. Tourist traps, non-chain diners, and all the pictures you could imagine (he's a novelty shirt guy, sorry, i don't make the rules)
ty for blessing us with this pookie, I love this, it made me so happy you don't even know 😭💕
they do adore an aquarium date and they'll go and just watch for hours, soaking it in, like they love seeing the jellyfish doing their thing, I think sweet girl specifically just adores jellyfish bc I mean, look at them, whisps in the water and yet certain types can be so deadly. (this totally isn't me projecting as someone who loves jellyfish and watched documentaries ab them as a kid) and finnick loves sharks a lot, always brings up shark rights and how unfair it is that they get blamed for attacking humans when most of the time they're just looking for food and we're in their homes (he's so real for that) and yes when they have a family it is constant trips, spending so much time as the table where you can touch things with their little kids and teaching them all about the different animals and how to preserve ocean life.
also sweet girl ofc hates the cold but when they're by a cold beach she wants nothing more than to get up so early when the tide is low so she can look at all the rocks covered in starfish and sea anemones, she is wrapped up but she is so excited everytime.
I also think that finnick and sweet girl debate how they're going to camp bc finnick likes good old fashioned camping with a simple tent, honesty if it's warm enough just a sleeping bag under the stars, but sweet girl would rather have a trailer or mobile home or even a tent trailer (if it were her way it would just be a cabin actually but whatever lmao) and finnick is always like, "that's glamping."
and she's like, "I don't care if it's glamping, it's warmer."
"I'll keep you warm."
most of the time it ends up being the tent bc she caves really early on, but she'll still throw in a grumble or two about it until one year he surprises her with a tent trailer to take out occasionally. it continues being a debate when they have kids because finnick wants them to experience 'real camping' but sweet girl is like well it's more space and a kitchen and a sink. finnick doesn't think they need a kitchen when they can have a campfire and a cooler. she knows that but she just wants a bed and a kitchen 😭 and it really all comes down to their families having camped different when they were kids
yes, finnick is totally a lakeside camper but he's also lucky bc mosquitos aren't attracted to him the way they are to sweet girl and she doesn't complain about the location bc she loves the water but everytime she thinks, damn, I better lather the bug spray on. and sweet girl likes to float the lake, just her and a pair of sunglasses floating is all she needs, and finnick is always renting a canoe or a kayak or buying a paddleboard, she does them all with a smile because she likes seeing how excited it makes him even if he's highkey so bossy about how they paddle. if he let her she really just wants to sit there and look pretty like when camp was being set up, but he is working hard to be some sort of kayaking pro.
road trip supremacy, windows down, scream singing, finnick takes so many pictures and sweet girl wants to try ice cream in basically every small town and they both spend so much time picking flavors (it has to be something they both want to try since they end up sharing it with each other) and as we've discussed finnick loves saltwater taffy and therefore sweet girl has to be fudge person to even it out. they also go berry picking and forage for mushrooms (finnick lowkey complains but sweet girl loves it) and she wants to stop at every fruit stand, buy every homemade soap or jam, and she LOVES a honeystick.
they adore a diner and finnick loves a sweet breakfast and sweet girl usually prefers something sweet and savory, so finnick gets extra of his bc he knows she'll get something savory and then eat off of his plate. and you're so right, finnick buys all the novelty shirts he can and every time sweet girl is like, "really?"
but he defends it and calls her a hater for it. he also has a keychain from every town they visit and let's her pick out which one it will be.

Electric Summer
Tumblr media
I decided to start something new! I know I said I was going to try to finish Coach Sy first but I just don't have ideas for it. And this would not leave me alone.
Summary: OFC is a camp counselor. She and Sy used to be childhood besties and used to have a summer fling. But when they get older and school ends. She thinks she'll never see him again.
Warnings: none
Let me know what you think. Comments and Reblogs are always welcome
This work is totally my own and I own all my mistakes. Obviously, I don't own Sy.. man I wish
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This was easily my favorite time of the year. I love the fall and the smell of the leaves and cozy blankets and warm drinks. It was a beautiful time of year. Fall was my favorite season. But this was not that. This was magic. Summer’s always were. Even when the sun went down at 9pm and the sky faded to black there was still an electric energy that burned in the air. The nights weren’t over just because the sun had fallen. In fact that was the time when the best memories were made. Especially here. It’s so cliche, but to me this is the happiest place on earth. Forget Disney world. No, the best times were had slipping away from mom and dad and spending the summer with friends you hadn’t seen all year, jumping in the lake, tipping a canoe, hiking through the woods at night, sneaking off to steal a kiss with your crush behind the cabin, and warming up around the campfire at night. 
This camp built me. It holds my dearest memories from my childhood and adolescents. When they messaged me and asked about coming back as a counselor it was an easy answer. 
I looked over at my best friend pouting on my bed while I packed my suitcase. 
“I can’t believe you’re gonna be gone all summer!” she grumbled. I laughed, shaking my head at her. 
“I told you, you could come too! They need more counselors.” I stated, matter of fact. She scrunched up her nose  and raised an eyebrow. 
“I love kids but I’m not very outdoorsy, no way I’d last all summer! I’m too pale to be in the sun that long.” she retorted
“Fair, we’ve been swimming once this year and you’re already burnt.” I chuckled. I put another towel in my bag and she took it out and threw it on the bed. I sighed.
“It’s not forever V, you can literally come visit me.” I said “I won’t be on my  phone much at all  but I can give you nightly updates before lights out!” I promised.
“Fine,” she conceded, repacking the towel for me. “But if you meet somebody and start some whirlwind summer love you better tell me immediately! I want all the details! We haven't spent this long apart literally since we became friends!” I laughed 
“I doubt it, but if the perfect man somehow manages to show up to sweep me off my feet at summer camp I’ll let you know!” I told her. 
“It could happen! Didn’t you have a lil summer boyfriend when you were younger?” She asked. I thought back to my days as a camper. All the friends I’d made, the silly little camp crushes. Then there was him. For 3 straight summers there was him. I tried to resist it at first. He was incredibly charming. A lot of the girls had a crush on him. He was energetic and funny and he had this big smile. That first summer we became fast friends. I tried to ignore him but he wouldn’t leave me alone. If I got up to leave the group he’d get up and ask where I was going. When we had to use the buddy system for a game or a hike. He would claim me before one of my girls could. His friends would get mad at him for it. I never understood it. But camp was only 2 weeks long. I didn’t have enough time to dwell on it. 
The next summer. He grew. He had to be at least a foot taller. His hair had grown out into these beautiful wild curls. I think maybe he’d started working out. He mentioned he was playing football in school. So maybe that was why he seemed more toned. He still had that big sweet smile. He’d grown into a gentle giant. It must’ve been fate that once again our cabins were paired together as a group. And because we’d become such good friends he sought me out immediately. Pulling me into a big hug. 
“Hey girl!” He beamed, squeezing me tight. “Glad we’re here together again, how have you been?” He asked enthusiastically. I chuckled, my arms still wrapped around his middle as I found my footing again. He’d practically lifted me off the ground. 
“It’s good to see you too, Logan.” I smiled. Despite how hard I tried, That summer, I could not deny that I had developed feelings for him. I was too shy to tell him. And I loved being friends with him. I didn’t want to lose that. However even though Logan didn’t seem to notice it was painfully obvious to one of my bunkmates. 
“You should tell him you like him!” Tasha said, sneaking up behind me. This particular day the girls in our cabin decided to ditch the boys, who were off  playing ultimate frisbee or something, and go on a hike. 
“What?” I said quickly. She shook her head. 
“Girl, you obviously have the biggest crush on Sy, you should tell him.” she repeated herself. I started to chew on my lip nervously. 
“Logan? I… tosh… he’s my best friend. Aside from you of course,” I assured her, “I can’t tell him.” I said. She sighed dramatically. 
“Why not? He’s literally so nice, the worst that would happen is he’d say he wants to stay friends.Plus I really think he likes you too!” she said hopefully. 
“You can’t know that.” I retorted. She shook her head at me again. 
“I’ve heard people talk about it. I was in the bathroom last night and I overheard these girls from cabin F talking, one of the girls said she’s really jealous of you because of the way Logan clings to you,” she argued. 
“He does not cling to me,” I said. 
“We had to tell him our hike was no boys allowed because he was gonna ditch the boys to come with us!” she cried. 
“Maybe he wanted to hike?” I argued. Tasha gave up and just laughed. 
“Girl you’re hopeless.” she said, as we continued to walk. 
A few days later the boys and girls cabin went on a night hike together. It was a tradition. Something we did every year. We walked through the woods when it got dark and played games as a group. I hated it. It freaked me out. I was not a horror movie fan and this was like an invitation for a demon to jump out and attack you. Needless to say I was scared the whole time. Sy picked up on it immediately. Sticking with me the whole time. Distracting me and making me laugh. And when I got really tense on the walk back he grabbed my hand. When we were back in the clearing by the cabins Tasha looked back at us and noticed our hands smiling to herself. She stopped walking until she was next to me on the other side and whispered in my ear. 
“Girl if you don’t tell him I will.” I pouted and gave her a look and she just laughed skipping ahead again to hold the hand of this year's camp boyfriend. Needless to say I still didn’t tell him. I spent the next week and a half doing everything I could to avoid it. 
On the last day of camp a few of us were sitting in the grass in the sun soaking up the last few hours together before our parents arrived and we had to say goodbye. We were talking about our favorite things we’d done this summer. What we were gonna miss. Promising to keep in touch. 
“Hey Logan, you know you only live like an hour from Lainie?” Tasha said all of a sudden. 
“Oh yeah?” He asked, looking over at me with a big smile on his face. 
“Mhmm.” she continued, "You guys could totally hang out sometime!” she exclaimed. 
“How did you know that?” I asked her suddenly.
“I looked it up,” she shrugged. I rolled my eyes but then looked over at Sy, his long legs stretched out in front of him on the grass, leaning back on his elbows, the sun shining down perfectly warming his face. He looked beautiful. He had a sparkle in his eye when I met his gaze. 
“What, you don’t wanna see me?” He pouted. “I think it’d be fun! You get your license in a couple weeks right?” He raised his brows eyes hopeful. I was surprised he remembered. We talked about it at campfire a couple nights ago. He told me he was saving up for his own car so he didn’t have to drive his brothers hand me down anymore. And I said I just couldn’t wait to be able to drive without my mom in the car. 
“Yeah,” I said, “I do, and of course I wanna see you Logan,” I blushed. 
“That’s perfect,” Tasha spoke again. “You guys could go on a date or something!” she winked. 
“Huh?” I choked. Glaring at her. Logan didn’t say anything. Or if he did I was too shocked to hear what he said. 
“Girl, don't act like you don’t have the biggest crush on him. We all know it.” I could feel everyone's eyes on me now and my cheeks were burning. 
“Is that true?” Logan asked softly. I couldn’t look at him. I chewed at my lip trying to come up with anything to make this go away but I couldn’t . 
“I-I …my parents are gonna be here soon! I need to finish packing!” I said and stood up quickly running toward the cabin. That wasn’t true. I packed everything this morning. I was bragging about it to him saying I had the whole rest of the day to enjoy what we had left of camp. He knew I was lying. I heard him call after me but I didn’t stop. Not until I got back to our cabin. The boys weren’t allowed there. I could stay there and hide until It was time to go. And that’s what I did. An hour later our counselor came to find me telling me my parents had arrived to take me home. I didn’t see Logan when I was leaving. I didn’t look for him. I was too embarrassed to find him to say goodbye. So I didn’t. I left without a word. And I felt horrible about it. 
Another year came and went. Logan and I never met up after summer. I didn’t text him. I was too afraid. And I’d never given him my number.  I was beside myself with nerves about returning to camp that next summer. It was my favorite place on earth. And my worst nightmare all wrapped into one. After the way I’d left things with him last year I was afraid to see him. I thought that maybe I’d get lucky and he wouldn’t be there the same week I was. Or we wouldn’t be in the same group. So at least I could avoid him. Even if it was gonna hurt. 
Of course that’s not what happened. Again our cabins were in a group. The first day I avoided making eye contact with him. And I always stuck with the girls. I didn’t want a chance for us to be alone together. Conveniently Tasha couldn’t make it to camp this year. So I was stuck in the mess she’d made without her help.  He and I were together for group activities but I didn’t talk much. I kept to myself. That worked for the first day. But it didn’t last long. During the afternoon at camp we didn’t have a lot of scheduled activities. So we could pretty much run around and do whatever we wanted. And since we were the late highschool aged group. We didn’t have to follow the “buddy system,”  They encouraged it but I guess if we went missing that was on us. It was just after lunch. Maybe 2pm. There was this little circle of bench swings in the park. It was a great place to gather as a group. A lot of times we would sit and reflect on the day there before the campfire at night. But right now no one was there. I liked to keep a journal while I was at camp. To keep all of the memories. So I sat on one of the swings with one leg folded under me and the other dangling off to push myself on the swing. I didn’t see him coming. I was too busy scribbling down all of  my thoughts. I didn’t notice anyone was there until I heard the creak of the chains from the swing directly across from mine. I looked up. Logan was sitting on the swing, his arms stretched over the back of it and rocking back and forth on his heel pushing the swing. I set my pen in my journal, closing it slowly, before I could speak, he said. 
“Please don’t run,” His voice sounded deeper somehow even though he spoke softly. I knew he was from the south. He always had a bit of a twang but I’d never noticed that drawl like I did now. When he was pleading with me. I swallowed hard and nodded. “I don’t like this,” He spoke again when I remained silent. “I hate that you’re ignoring me.” 
“I’m not…” I started
“You are,” He interrupted, letting out a deep sigh. “Lainie,” he said, my childhood nickname. The one he’d started to call me after we all shared fun facts about ourselves. It was the name all of my mothers family had called me since I was a baby. He’d never actually addressed me by my name from that point on. It was always a joke between us. A little sentiment that he claimed as his. It sounded sad now. As he pulled his eyes from the mulch on the ground to meet my gaze. “You are my best friend. You can talk to me. About anything. Hell, I’m closer with you than I am with any of my friends back home.” He said. “I know that things were kinda awkward when we left last summer but you didn’t even say goodbye.” He paused. I bit my lip, starting to feel emotional.
“I’m sorry,” I said softly. “I was so embarrassed.” I finally admitted to him. “I didn’t mean to leave like that. But everyone was looking at me. And I was scared and I was afraid I was gonna lose you as a friend. But I guess I did that all on my own.” I sighed. 
Sy stood up and crossed the space from his swing to mine. He paused waiting to see if I’d make room for him. Naturally I did. He sat next to me. Stretching his arm out behind me on the back of the swing. 
“You couldn’t lose me if you tried darlin,”  A soft smile formed on his lips.  If I didn’t know any better, it almost looked sad.  I could tell that he was having an inner battle in himself.  “Why were you scared?”  He finally asked.  I swallowed a lump that was forming in my throat.  There was no point in avoiding it now.  He had to know that I’ve had a crush on him.  Even I know that he isn’t too oblivious to realize that much.  I felt my breath hitch when I felt his hand cover my shoulder.  A gentle squeeze and a soft storking of his thumb brought my eyes to his.
“Because I didn’t want anything to change, what we’ve got going is good,” I spoke barely above a whisper. 
“Why would…” He started. But I cut him off before I lost my nerve. 
“Because Tasha was right. I did..do have a big crush on you. But it’s silly, and you’re such a great friend to me Logan, I didn’t want to lose that because of how I was feeling.” I rambled. 
“Huh,” He breathed. “You have a crush on me? I never would of guessed.” He smirked. I pouted and smacked his shoulder. 
“Sy, I’m serious!” I ran my hand through my hair and turned away from him to nervous to hold eye contact. I heard him chuckle softly before I felt his fingertips gently brush across my jaw turning me back to face him. 
“I know, I’m sorry,” he paused regaining his composure. “You really think I didn’t notice?” He raised both brows and had a gentle smile on his lips. 
“You knew?” I muttered softly still so embarrassed about the whole situation. 
“It’s kinda what I what I was hoping for, I’ve only been flirtin’ with ya for two summers now,” He laughed. It was my turn to be confused. I raised an eyebrow. This only caused him to laugh more. 
“You?” I paused trying to wrap my head around what I was trying to say. “Wait so?” 
“I’d have loved to have taken you out, If you’d have given me the chance.” He explained. I hung my head resting it my hands and groaned. 
“I’m an idiot.” I sighed. 
“No,” Sy said, “I should have said something sooner, and Tosh shouldn’t have called you out like that. I’d known for a while but, I really liked the way things were between us. I didn’t see a reason for us to push anything.” He said slowly pulling my hand away from my face and lacing his fingers with mine. 
“You really liked me this whole time.” I said finally looking up at him, relaxing a bit when he smiled. 
“Since the day I met you.” He admitted. I smiled. And squeezed his hand I sat up moving to sit closer to him. I opened my mouth to speak but before I could one of the counselors was interrupting us.
“Hey guys you know the rules. No purpling, No PDA,” They warned us and stood there until Sy let go of my hand.  They nodded at us before walking off to montier the rest of the play ground. Some of the younger age groups were playing in the park. ‘No purpling’ such a stupid metaphor. Girls are red boys are blue if red and blue touch it makes purple. It was so annoying. 
“I hate that damn rule.” He grumbled. I giggled softly. 
“Yeah, me too.” we both just looked at each other and smiled. 
After that moment we spent the rest of that summer by each others side. Camp always seemed like such a short time and this time it seemed like it was slipping away even faster. We never made anything official but we did hold hands when no one was looking and occasionally we would sneak off from the group to have time alone. 
One evening after dinner a few of us decided we wanted to take out some canoes on the lake. Of course the two of us took one out on our own. For some reason that night Sy  was quiet. He had been a lot of the day. I finally decided to ask him about it. “Are you okay?” I asked after a few minutes of silence had passed while we floated in the middle of the lake. 
“Yeah,” He answered quickly “Why?” He wouldn’t meet my eye. 
“You’ve just been quiet, is something bothering you? You can talk to me.” I assured him. He sat there for a few seconds without saying anything before letting out a deep breath. 
“This is gonna be my last summer at camp.” He said softly. My heart sank. I knew he was about a year older than me. And we could only come back as campers through the year after we graduated high school. But he was about to start his Senior year. He still had one more summer. 
“But you haven’t graduated yet. You can still come back next year!” I said hopefully. 
“It’s not that,” He bit his lip looking out at the water still refusing to look at me. “I signed up for the military. I’m gonna be in the army. I start basic right after I graduate. And then they’ll send me wherever they need me.” He said finally meeting my eyes. 
“Oh,” I nodded. “So, after this summer, we won’t ever see each other again.” I said sadly. 
“Hey, no,” he said, grabbing my hand, “We still got a whole year. I could come see you or you could drive to me and we… we could make this…” He trailed off. 
“Logan,” my voice cracked as I started to speak. “You and I both know it’s not going to work. You’re going to be so busy with football and your friends and your family. And I will be too.” I felt him squeeze my hand and he nodded, a sad look in his eyes. 
“I know, but I just got you, I don’t wanna let go yet.” He said. I felt a tear fall and I wiped it away quickly, not wanting to make him feel any worse. 
“Maybe, we were only ever meant to have summer.” I said. 
“Yeah,” He whispered. “Guess we better make the most of it.” 
We spent every second we could together the rest of camp. Hell he even walked me to the bathroom. It killed me to know this was all we were ever going to be. I’d never met anyone like Logan before. I hated to say that I was in love with him. I mean I was only 16 but. It sure felt like it. We did every activity together, sat together at dinner. And he’d put his arm around me at campfire when the adults weren’t looking. The night before camp was over was the annual night hike. He knew how much I hated it. So while the rest of the group headed off into the woods he grabbed my hand and led us to another trail that led to an open grassy field. The boys usually played frisbee or softball out here. 
“Logan,” I whispered. “We’re gonna get in trouble.” I said. 
“They’ll never notice we’re gone.” He said. Pulling me into his chest and hugging me tight holding me for a moment. “I just wanna be alone with you.” he mumbled into my hair. He walked us out to the middle of the field and sat down pulling me down with him. “Come here.” He said laying back on the grass and pulling me into his side. I snuggled up to him laying my head on his chest. We laid like that for a while just silent. Looking at the stars above us. 
“I don’t wanna leave tomorrow. I don’t want to have to say goodbye.” He said. I felt myself start to tear up but I forced them down. 
“Are you scared?” I asked. 
“No,” He admitted shaking his head. “My dad was in the service and my grandpa, my older brother. It’s just what we do.” He said. 
“I hate this.” I sighed. I couldn’t lie to myself anymore or him. 
“Me too darlin.” he said. We laid there in silence again. Until he spoke. “Would it… would it be too selfish to ask you to wait for me?” He asked. I felt tense. I sat up laying my hand on his chest and turned to look at him. 
“Logan, you don’t need me to wait for you, you’ll meet some pretty girl in your home town. Some girl you can come back home too when it’s all over. You’ll have long forgotten about me when you come home.”
“I could never forget you Lainie,” He said softly. My breath hitched. His eyes bore deeply into mine. Even with nothing but the moon light and the stars lighting his face I could see he meant it. 
“Sy,” I whispered. He caressed my cheek sitting up to close the distance between us. This would be the first time we’d ever kissed. Maybe the last. I could feel his breath against my lips as my eyes fluttered shut. 
“There you two are!” The boys councelor called from across the clearing. “What were you thinking you had us all worried!” We’d been caught. 
We didn’t kiss that night. We never did. The next day when my parents came to get me. He stood there outside of our cabin holding me tight. Neither of us wanted to let go. But he didn’t kiss me goodbye. We couldn’t do it. I guess it was better not to know what we were missing. 
“I’m never gonna stop thinking about ya,” He said. As we finally pulled away. 
“Neither will I.” I said 
That was 7 years ago. We didn’t see each other after that. I cried and sulked the rest of that summer. 
I shook my head bringing me back to the present. My best friend still sitting on my bed looking at me expectantly. 
“Hello, Lainie,” she snapped her fingers. 
“What? Uh yeah, I guess I did have a summer fling. I mean, we were never official, never kissed or anything. But that was years ago. Who know’s where he is now.” I said. 
“Who knows. Fate has this way of bringing people together.” She said. I shook my head. 
“You’re such a hopeless romantic.” I laughed.
“And you’re hopeless, would it kill you to belive in fairtales. Or romance.”  she argued. I just laughed. 
“You know what you’re right. You never know what will happen this summer, camp always has been a magical place.” I said. 
A few hours later I was finally on the road. I felt the excitement rise up inside me as I passed the familiar rode signs. I was almost there. I thought my heart was gonna burst when I pulled into the long drive under the main archway. After parking my car I walked up to the main building to meet with the camp director. 
“Lainie!” She smiled greeting me with a hug. “I’m so happy you were able to join the team this year!” She beamed. 
“I jumped at the opportunity Becca, I wouldn’t miss it!” I said. 
“We’re glad to have you, I’ll get you checked in so you can get settled and get your cabin set up and meet your co-coucelor. You’re with one of the boys cabins. You’ll be in cabin E and He and his boys are in A.” She smiled. 
“Okay sounds great!” I was buzzing with excitement. 
“I’ll let you get to it,” she said “I’m sure you remember where everything is!” 
I unpacked my car and carried my bag and suitcase to my cabin. It felt so good to be back. I started to unpack and make up my bunk when I heard a knock on the screen door. I figued it must’ve been my co-concelor coming to meet me. I walked to the door stepping out on to the porch of the Cabin, seeing a man standing there. He was maybe 6,1 his hair was buzzed short. And he had a full beard. He had broad shoulders and a warm smile. His eyes went wide when they landed on me. And the moment I met the I knew why. “Lainie?” He asked. Still with that deep southern drawl. 
“Logan?”

Dead Poets Society camping...
I love camping and I camp a lot during the summertime in the mountains, so... "What would Dead Poets Society do?" Under the cut!!!
Charlie is READY. Ready for fun, ready to swim in the river, ready to sleep in a tent, he's so excited.
Knox is scared of bugs. Sees a bug and yelps, and the poets just stare at him as his cry for help echos through the woods, which results in him shamefully staring down at his feet and mumbling, "Sorry about that guys," to which the poets all get a good laugh out of.
I can see Neil loving nature. He makes little grass crowns, flower crowns, and other nature crafts for everyone.
Cameron is not playing around about this camping stuff, knows how to set up a tent. While most might think he would be very uptight about everything, I think he'd still have loads of fun swimming, exploring, and hiking. Definitely researched what hiking shoes to get.
Meeks knows and can name every plant in the forest. Don't worry about getting poison ivy with Meeks, he can spot it in a heartbeat, and even other various poisonous plants. Also catches reptiles to show Pitts. Catches a lizard, "Hey look at this lacertilia I found!" He wears khaki. Loves to imagine he'd on an expedition or something. Meeks wyd?!?!?!?!
Todd admires the view. Could sit and stare out at a landscape for hours, just thinking, writing, doodling, whatever. He brings a hammock and naps in it during the afternoon, especially if it's warn and sunny.
Charlie sees Todd's hammock and begs Todd to let him sit in it too. Todd says yes as long as Charlie is quiet, it's a two person hammock. Charlie crawls in there with Todd and PASSES OUT. That boy is GONE 💤💤🛌. Todd doesn't mind a bit, at least Charlie covered his side of the deal, peace and quiet.
Pitts helps Meeks catch various creatures. I feel like they start an entire new study just on this camping trip, "ooh yeah were gonna try to find a new frog species. I think we can do it." I can TOTALLY hear Pitts saying that. Literally word for word omg.
GIGGLING because I'm imagining Knox being a little bit prissy. Something a little like this:
Charlie convinces Knox to come fishing/swimming in the river with him and a few of the other guys. Knox is sitting there, SUNGLASSES: ON!!!! holding his fishing rod, not really paying attention to it. He catches a fish, ofc, and then Charlie, all excited for Knox is like, "Knox hold it up and I'll take your picture!" and Knox gets this disgusted look on his face and is like, "Charlie I am not touching that thing."
Charlie: "Oh come on dude, it's a fish it's not gonna kill you."
Knox: "Yeah but you do it...." *he says as he's turning green in the face* "I can't touch that nasty thing."
So of course, Charlie helps him and they put the fish back in the water. Charlie gives him the most shit for it, "Knox, you can't even touch a fish out of water." "Shush."
Bonus that I kind of just thought of: Mr. Keating brings them at the end of the school year to kick off summer break.

this is my second tumblr tarot collab ateez version with the wonderful @hongjoongsmuse !!! go check out their blog and reblog too!
choose a picture below:
dear god this tumblr formatting has me going nuts it took me so long to piece these photos together on the web :( before anybody accuses us of not being ot8 there's mingi and jongho at the end :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pile 1, yunho @vantaesfairie
your fs will like the fact that you always fight for what you think is right (if you're in the right ofc) and your perseverance. if you face your challenges head on and be more endurable to difficulties, it will bring your fs along as your own inner strength is developing. similarly to the seonghwa pile, being on 'higher ground' will help a lot. your fs will also be attracted to your queen energy. if you are a feminine, this is what you want to nurture and work on. they will love the way you are abundant in yourself and the way you connect with nature. they may also be an animal lover / like hiking or camping. the more 'mother' you are the better in this case. they also appreciate the way you think quickly and cleverly. other than being beautiful you need brains. they may be attracted to your hair / hair accessories / dress (or some clothes like a dress). they are attracted to your independent thinking and the way you communicate with others in a group setting. you may want to work on your knowledge and be more direct and candid about your opinions when others need your leadership. if you work on your inner strength, tap into your feminine energy and work on being more perceptive towards others, your fs will be attracted to you.
pile 2, seonghwa @vantaesfairie
your fs may be attracted to your status. you can attract your fs by being more financially independent as well as professional career wise. the more you rise up in your career hierarchy the more likely it is. if you want a provider person, you need to be a provider to yourself first in order to let go of that energy of loss. your youthful spirit and lightheartedness will help a lot a lot. if you have an rbf, try to surround yourself with people or things you like and relax with strangers. tapping into your 'cute', or 'childish' side will help a lot. if you are creative, start making art as you can manifest through art. they may love watching your art. when you have gone through such spiritual changes you will realize intuitive signs about your fs in your daily life more and more. you also have to be prepared for change as your fs may be coming in hot when they are attracted to said playful new infatuation energy. your passion for life and fire-sign like attitude to working and growing may attract them to you faster. overall, your material success, zest for life, artistic side, and perhaps travelling will help you attract your fs.
pile 3, san @vantaesfairie
i think your fs likes gold and wealth lol they might like bling luxury brands too just from the card imagery. your fs may like the way you talk, your voice is alluring. they like your leadership. you may want to work on your group communication or public speaking skills as they will be listening to you intently. you also have to give an aura of 'i am the best option out of all options you have but i don't really need you, you need me'. you have to shine amongst your peers. your fs may like the way you daydream or have goals that you are working towards. they like how realistic you are even towards 'unrealistic / dreamy' goals. they may like it more if you wear gold / yellow. they like the way you are charismatic and have a strong friendly energy like sagittarius. they like how enthusiastic you are. you should work towards trying to inspire others with your work and fashion, as well as being more independent and extroverted. in general, your fs will be attracted to your voice and assurance in speaking, your leadership, goal setting, strong social butterfly (but not too much) vibe.
pile 4, yeosang @hongjoongsmuse
yeosang's pile suggests that despite your many trials and tribulations, your future spouse will admire your determination and optimism for a better future. instead of letting things get you down, your ability to get back up and take another step forward is seriously impressive. they could also respect that in times of uncertainty, you can take accountability and work towards finding a solution. you have come a long way, and it looks like they'll be well aware of that. they could be very proud of your achievements and could continue to support you through anything. this may be someone you already know, or someone you will be friends with first. to get there, please be more forgiving of yourself, and hang in there, my love! things will get better.
the fool, the sun, 2 of swords, 8 of swords, 6 of wands, 8 of pentacles. rider-waite.
pile 5, hongjoong @hongjoongsmuse
hongjoong's pile suggests your fs might like be attracted to your warm, empathetic and friendly nature. they could find you enchanting, carefree and charming, yet a little whimsical and mysterious. they could admire you for your stability and for being "well put together", perhaps due to being very well dressed and financially stable. they could admire your poise and how you plan your sentences. to them, you could feel like a soulmate, and could have this sense of familiarity. they may see you as someone they would like to work together with to build a connection (instead of having to "win your heart") - a connection filled with love and cherish. to get to this point, consider continuing your studies, as your job seems quite influential and intellectual. the tarot also suggests keeping an open mind, and to be mindful of your words and those around you. try not to worry too much about what other people might think, as being who you are is the best self you could ever be.
queen of cups, 2 of cups, 3 of pentacles, 9 of pentacles, 4 of wands. rider-waite.
pile 6, wooyoung @hongjoongsmuse
our lovely wooyo suggests that your future spouse could admire you for your maturity and care for other people - falling for the heart, the soul - and especially the mind. you could end up being an inspiration to them, and they could often turn to your for support because they trust you more than anything. you could end up being their safe place. as mentioned, your mind could be something they love in particular. your open mindedness, your great advice and your ability to remain unbiased and rational, and perhaps a sense of authority and leadership? as a result of these traits, they could respect your stability, especially with finances and relationships. a good support system and nice flow of income could be very appealing, but of course - they wouldn't use you for it. more so, they could find it admirable, and could even aspire to be like you. if you haven't already, consider furthering your studies, and approach topics with a more objective view.
the empress, justice, king of swords, king of pentacles. rider-waite.
i hope you enjoyed this pac! please consider purchasing a paid reading by sliding into my dms. reblog and share if possible! i’d love to know if this resonates to you. thank you so much!

saw youre into running rn! is there anything youve learned about it that you wish you'd known when you began? i've been walking daily but think i'd rather run if i wasnt so daunted by doing it "wrong" lol
hi anon, thanks for asking! i really relate.
the good thing is, and i think the first thing you need to know, is that when you're a super-beginning runner, it's much harder to do something terribly wrong - you're running a very short distance, probably very slowly, and don't need a lot of top of the line, brand new, excessive accessories you see pros wear. even slightly more experienced hobby runners like me don't need all that stuff! here's what you do need:
loose clothes, incl. socks, ideally that will wick sweat and keep you cool
actual running shoes (not converse, etc. PLEASE get real running shoes with cushioning!)
a place to run
that's literally it! some other things i always use are my strava app on my phone (tracks pace, distance, etc.) and, of course, my headphones.
as far as distance goes, starting with a mile tends to be a good barometer of how you're doing. there are a number of camps for training your way up to a specific distance (e.g. couch to 5k), but personally, i began by running/slowly jogging a mile and just seeing how long it took me. then, i'd regularly go out and do that distance until i felt comfortable jogging the whole time. (you can start with 1/4 or 1/2 mile if you need to, ofc; when i started, i had already been hiking/walking long distances).
next, you start increasing. some people are more rigid about this, but i DIY'd it. every few times i went out, i'd try adding .25 or .5 miles onto my distance. the one rule i gave myself is not to walk or stop. i would always jog, no matter how slowly, and would add bits onto my run based on whether or not i felt i could actually jog it the whole time. my goal is and was sustainable improvement, not going as long as i possibly can before passing out etc. i also pretty much always run in the morning/sometimes the early afternoon, meaning that i plan runs that i can go on and do the rest of my work/errands after and not be totally dead.
i used this method to get to my first 5K. that took about two months of not-super-serious training. my 5K time was really fucking slow, and i was rightfully proud, because i did it. i did the same, with more focus, toward a 10K. My goal for 2026 is to do a half-marathon, and i can currently run 8-9 miles without stopping. the more distance you add/the faster you go, the more concerted your training has to be. as you get more serious (if you're running more than 4 times a week) you may want to talk to a doctor or physical therapist about how to preserve mobility in your knees, legs, feet, and ankles, as running can be hard on all of these joints. i had to do a bit of PT earlier this spring due to an overuse foot injury. it's common but ofc best to avoid!
ALSO, and i emphasize this as someone with an ED, you need a LOT more food when you are running regularly. not so much when you're training for a 5K, but when you're training for a 10K+ distance / running like, 20+ miles per week, you're burning a lot of calories and need to get focused about making sure you're eating enough. it's good, too, to think early about what your nutrition strategy is on days when you do run - personally, i p much never eat before runs, not even a banana. it makes my digestive system Very Sus, when it is a well-known fact that running shits ("the runs" is aptly named) are a Thing. some people swear by fruit or a protein bar or oatmeal before a run. mid-run nutrition won't be something you'll have to think about for a while as a beginner, and most people will probably run at least up to a 3-4 mile distance without having to worry about carrying around a water bladder/pack.
lastly, a lot of people, myself included, have hangups/trauma around running. i do/did! when you take up running again like this, it's crucial to remember that you're doing this for yourself, and you are the only person you're in competition with. when you set goals, think about what's actually important to you. for me, it's being able to finish a race feeling strong, with form + a time + training strategies i'm proud of. distancing running from weight loss has also been really important to me. lastly, keep in mind that when you start running, that doesn't mean that it's the only exercise you ever do. i really enjoy mixing up what i do, even just for cardio, which is easier on my knees/ankles as well as less boring.
a lot of what i include here are thoughts from a more experienced perspective - if you're looking to just start a couch to 5k type journey, a lot of this isn't a big concern. and my #1 piece of advice is to get out there and try your best.
good luck and have fun!

Non-Sims Interests
I got tagged by @episims and thought this one looked like fun. Thank you, epi! Ofc like so many of us I kind of a sims monomaniac, but I do have a few other hobbies and interests (many of them tangentally related to sims, haha...)
D&D - I started playing this back when I was at university, and later decided I missed it enough to teach my friends how to play and became a dungeon master! I actually think it is very similar to sims in a lot of ways, where you get to do a lot of world-building and setting up of interesting situations, but you don't have complete control over what happens! That's all up to the players and the game-mechanics. Unlike sims though its a social sort of hobby, which keeps me from being a total hermit lol! Currently we are playing a setting inspired by ancient/mythological Greece, which ties into some of my other interests, too :)
Wrestling & Soap Oprea - As a kid I into Neighbours & WWE, like, religiously. These days I don't keep up with WWE to the same extent, but its an interest that revives itself every so often and I'll go through phases where I am super into it. I also watch Coronation Street these days and actually when I was at university a decade ago wrote my dissertation on 1960s Corrie! If you are a fan of both of these, you might get why I lumped them together - wrestling is kind of just a soap with tons of fight scenes, lol. I am a fan of really long-running "endless" series that weave together a lot of diffient characters and plots. I think for me the fact that the writing is very inconsistent and sometimes messy is part of the fun for me! It's a very dynamic and ever-evolving kinda storytelling I just love... (And yes, this obviously ties into my love of the Sims too, rotational gameplay is like a soap-oprea generator to me!)
History - I am not as much of a knowledge-hoarder as some people, but history is interesting to me! I did study it at university but didn't enjoy uni so much which caused the interest to die off a bit, but I have noticed its revived a fair bit over the last few years, now that its something I do for fun again. I know the most about England and Europe, but really like classical Greece & Rome, and lately I have been interested in Chinese history too
Literature - I am a bit on-and-off with reading (see previous post lol) and not as well-read as some, but I like reading a lot! A few years ago I read Moby Dick & it triggered some kinda deep obsession in me which causes me to bring up Moby Dick in conversation, like, I guess a lot more than the average person. Every so often a book makes a deep enough impression that it gets etched permentantly into my personality lol
Other Games - I am not a HUGE gamer because I am always mostly playing sims lol, but I do play other titles sometimes! I go through a big Dwarf Fortress phase a couple of times a year which always obliterates all my other hobbies & my social life. I also really like Visual Novels, I think they are suuuuuch a cool and under-rated genre (but the best ones are all X-rated, so, like, I get why LOL). Oh, and I was super-obsessed with Dragon Age Origins when I played it! Sadly none of the later games made as big of an impact on me
Hiking & Nature - this is kind of a basic one, I feel like most people enjoy this? But I do love the Great Outdoors! My dad is more into it than me, he is very into gardening and also regularly goes on big walking holidays and knows a ton about plants, trees, and wildlife... I think he instilled an appreciation for nature in me as a kid and its something I get a lot out of, too! I would love to eventually live somewhere that has a garden, and hope to maybe go on a camping trip or two this year :)
I will try and tag some different people to last time, but if this looks interesting to you please consider yourself tagged, too! @deedee-sims, @strangetomato, @plumbtales, @simhealing, @simnationlifebefore, @dunne-ias

Zayne anime headcannons
• For Zayne girlies who like watching anime/ playing VNs and games like me
• He's not interested in it by himself initially ofc but he knows you like watching/ playing them. When you're engrossed with rapt attention, it'll start to pique his curiosity as to what's so interesting in it that you're giving it more attention than him 😾 He'll probably peer into your screen and ask "Is it that interesting? What is it about?"
• Will 100% judge you and the anime where ecchi stuff like panty/ oppai shots come up 😭 (fair tbh but imagining it from him is extra funny)
• He'd actually enjoy watching slice of life/ iyashikei genres a lot tho. He'd rather just continue working beside you while you enjoy your show but then if it's on tv he'll sneak glances and eventually start watching bits and pieces of it until he realises he's enjoying them as well. Stuff like Spy Family would probs interest him. Even stuff like Yuru Camp or Slow Loop, considering that he's mentioned hiking a few times in our destiny cafe interactions.
• Pls keep this man away from trauamtic stuff like JJK ( cuz it has stuff about curses and all, we don't want him to get re-traumatised by it ☹️☹️☹️) Also just in general sad romances like ShigaUso would really hurt him ( I'm just hurting myself now by imagining all of this). Even looping stuff like Re:Zero would rekindle his pain :(
Quite a lot of no gos for him now that I think about it
• Will sometimes get jealous if you're fawning too much over a guy from an otomege. Ò︵Ó
• bonus: he's SUPER good at singing but ofc no one knows cuz he hasn't shown anyone. He'd probably get an insane score at karaoke. (I'm saying this cuz his jp seiyuu Taku chan goes crazy with the vocals.) When asked he will obviously deny any practise, which is true, but will instead say that if you're precise with calculating how each note goes then it's not a big deal 😭😭

hii, hope you’re doing well! as promised, i’m asking abt you n’ phaichan (also it’s ur fault i call him that now. it makes me dislike him more than i already do and I kinda like it lol.)!
on a scale of 1-10, how random would you say you guys are (1 being not very spontaneous, 10 being super spontaneous)?
oddball i’m asking moots i send asks to: can ratio n’ i come over and sleep over at your house? we will bring snacks, blankets, and anything you want (he’s cooking and i watch him cook)! :))
what are the sleeping arrangements with you n’ phaichan?
what kind of dates do you go on with Phainon? what’s been your favorite date together so far?
what’s your favorite thing to do in the summer with Phainon?
i have more thoughts n’ questions, know i’m holding back and will probably be back (may have ask abt another person hehehe)… assuming i don’t get scared to ask! >:3 wishing you a lovely time zone! MWAH! lob u! >u< 💜✨
HII WINTER!! i am home in bed with chips and puppies so i am doing much better yes yes ^^ and PLS NOT THE PHAICHAN BEEF 😭💔 thank you for asking abt us these questions are so sweet i would love to answer 💖
1. i would say a solid 7 !! i think both of us are spontaneous to a certain extent but i also get stressed out very easily so i don’t think we could go TOO crazy either 🙂‍↔️
2. hehe yes ofc everyone is invited to mira mahal for a sleepover whenever they want 🥹
3. we share a bed and he is a space hog and i am a blanket hog LMFAOAO like he’s sprawled out with limbs everywhere and i take the entire blanket to pull over my shoulders 😭 but i am super still when i sleep like i literally don’t move positions whatsoever and i think he is the type to get super hot at night so it kinda works out for the best actually!!
4. ooh ok hmm so i think for the most parts our dates are just us hanging out yk…watching movies running errands baking together etc….probably a lot of outdoorsy stuff too!! not camping because i hate camping but hiking, gardening, walking our dogs and whatnot hehe i think we are both quite chill so just spending time together is enough for the most part ☝🏻 however i also love fancy dinners and shopping and other such assorted activities so i think every now and again we would get dressed up nicely and do something like that too just to mix it up !!
5. SWIMMINGGGG I LOVE SWIMMING i even swim by myself so i would love just messing around in the pool or the ocean with him i think it would be so much fun
NEVER FEEL SCARED ILY AND WILL ALWAYS HAVE FUN ANSWERING YOUR QUESTIONS ‼️ i am just slow sometimes BUT I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO GET THEM 🤩

‧₊˚໒꒱ ~ juliette juno grace - daughter of jupiter
────────────────────────────────────────────
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"history has it's eyes on you" ~ (hamilton the musical)
juliette gets her middle name because even though her mother couldn't give her a first name that honored juno, she chose it as her middle name in order to not upset the goddess
though her middle name could've been beryl, it was already given to thalia
her mother didn't explicitly say she didn't like juliette, she always made it obvious because she'd wanted a son. she didn't abuse her though, since she'd already previously gone through this with thalia
her favorite animal growing up was the eagle and wolf
one time, as a child, her family (ofc minus jupiter) had gone to the beach, where there was a terrible storm. they immediately evacuated, and she'd been afraid of the water since
thalia was practically the mother of juliette (canon)
many times she asked her mom where "father" was, and her mother just scolded her for asking dumb questions
once her mother had abandoned her, she felt free, yet held down. the wolves helped her relax as she grew though, finding comfort in the nature
has sharp canines
constantly braids and unbraids her hair as an anxiety tic
when she got to camp jupiter, she immediately became close with hazel and frank, and reyna became like a sister to her
reyna reminded her of thalia a lot, like that sister figure that cared about her
once she'd become praetor, she vowed to protect her home from any harm. any harm.
first person she'd "come out" to was reyna. it was more like "reyna, i don't only like boys, somethings wrong with me. there was this girl and i felt the way i do about boys and i dont know anymore." and reyna was like "thats cool. it happens to people. dont worry about it." and then reyna talked about how she's an aro/ace lesbian !!
octavian has flirted with juliette on MULTIPLE occasions, offering he can "fix her" and "make her straight"
once she finds luciana and piper, she realizes that she definitely likes girls (and it's not just bc she was holding pipers hand...)
always felt like her identities overlapped. straight or gay? roman or greek?
she dislikes staying at zeus' cabin at chb, so she would stay with luciana in the hephaestus cabin
at camp jupiter, frank and hazel accept her immediately, and they become closer
always wears purple or blue - fave colors
has one camp half-blood shirt, and its lucianas that she gave to her
fell harder
she's much shorter then "jason (who's jason? lmao)" and is instead of 6'1 about 5'9
very strong from years of training. not exactly "buff" but "oml do you work out?"
BUTTERFINGERS!! she's really bad at holding onto things, and tends to sweat when nervous
actually hates heel's with a burning passion. you can catch her in hiking/combat boots or sneakers
I HOPE YOU LIKED THIS!! I MIGHT ADD MORE IN THE FUTURE!!

Is it possible for me to get some jilypad headcanons
ofc !!
james is in love with them both but thinks it's cheating to have those feelings so pretends to himself all he feels for sirius is platonic
lily has always thought sirius was massively hot & when she becomes friends she develops a full on crush
sirius has been in love with james since he can remember. & falls for lily when they become friends
they're all very much outside people. which means like. they have a huge garden & its very wellkept with a lot to do there, but also they go on hikes together & go out constantly, going to gigs and the cinema and festivals and all that
they're all very naturally smart but lily still studies a bit & so they sit with her whilst she does so but james is doodling them both & sirius is reading a random book about some obscure niche subject he's obsessed with atm
they're all cunts 🫶🫶
their favorite activity with each other: sirius/lily- gossiping, sirius/james- illegal activity, lily/james- sports/strategy
lily thinks cooking & baking is 'practically same thing as potion making' (because of that, james or sirius cook,, esp after an unfortunate incident where she was multitasking both activities at the same time & got them mixed up)
lily & sirius love camping & shit & james agrees to go and then promptly complains (he's a pretty princess thats very much used to the finer things in life🫶🫶) until he turns into prongs and they decorate his antlers with flowers
lily & james watch sirius fixing up his bike cause they find it hot but also sirius watches lily & james work out cause he finds it hot
james wakes up first and kisses both their cheeks before getting ready for the day, lily wakes up next and kisses sirius's cheek before getting ready for the day. however at night, james falls asleep first and they both kiss his cheek. then lily falls asleep next & sirius kisses' her cheek
sirius & lily like to have heated debates whilst james watches and moderates (he found its a good method to stay neutral & not pick a side)
hottest throuple ever.

i need to hear your sallowgraham headcanons you are aware of this, correct?
Tumblr media
well,, if u insist… ☝️😋
I have a feeing htis will be long winded and annoying so it’s all under here…
Pre-Legion stuff:
- Josh is a recent orphan and in Ed’s head his mom is practically dead (I hc she is lowkey a lil nuts) and they bond over this initially😙
-they’re both fucking losers. ppl in New Canaan think Joshua is weird and while Ed can make friends he’s like that one bully-friend we all had at some point where u eventually are like wait this guy sucks and u part ways. Joshua doesn’t bend to his bullying and that interests him, and Edward’s interest is exciting to Joshua.
-In my hc, Joshua’s dad was a trader and it’s why Joshua is so proficient in dialects and languages. His dad gave him a copy of Caesar’s Commentarii to practice Latin. When he’s trying to make friends with Edward at first, he offers to let him read it and this is how Ed gets the book hehe
-Bc they’re young men and young men are Like That, I think they fought a lot, verbally and physically. It was Bill’s hand that extended the offer to have Joshua translate and Joshua saw it as a sign from God to be useful and accepted without thinking about how fucking annoying Edward can be.
(Bill headcanon interjection moment, but he was 100% the only thing keeping them from both feeding off each other’s violence and ideas. When he’s gone is when the legion rly explodes, but also they get along MUCH better. Mask drop time??)
-Toward the end of the expedition, before getting to the Blackfoot, Joshua totally begged Edward to at least walk back with him to New Canaan before he went back to California and Edward was like “ok (ew)”
-… so when they created the legion and Josh saw that they’d continue doing this to other tribes as they pushed into Utah, he begged Edward to leave New Canaan alone and Edward was like “ew, but ok”
-Joshua’s clothes r fucked up, sewn together and patched like nothing else. Edward gives him his clothes to wear so he doesn’t look like such a rag doll.
Legion stuff:
-The crosses and crucifixions were Edward’s idea, the razing and heads-on-spikes-warnings were Josh’s ideas.
-Cringe aside joshua totally sees their relationship as a union, Ed’s been his only partner and they share a tent wayyy late into the Legion, even when they don’t have to. I dunno if Ed sees it the same way, but I think he’s just comfortable with what he has, and is probably aware Joshua sees it that way and feels it gives him an angle over him.
-In the earlier days, they would scavenge books for each other and spend nights reading them together 💔 their dates would include bookclub, hunting, hiking, and watching arena fights💔
-While Joshy-poo is a survivalist in my head, Edward is v educated and has (had?) a good background in anatomy from his studies and a few medical stuff Bill taught him when they left California. Joshua can make tea and healing powder, but Ed’s gonna throw pills at his head either way.
-I love an albino vulpes hc. Joshua wanted that thing DESTROYED, but Edward was like 💔 it’s a thing. and nearly tried to convince Joshua he could be their diversity hire son. But that was too gay.
-Every region they went thru, Joshua reimagined a homestead there instead of camps. He’ll always want his tradwife ranch.
-THEY BOTH WORE VESTS 💔 until Ed got too big for his
Post-Legion/Hoover Dam
-Ed shaved his head before Joshua was supposed to head for the Dam. Joshua usually cut his hair so he thought it was odd.
-A week before, Ed pestered Joshua about making sure he was going to take the Dam and Joshua was ofc very sure he was, he’s never lost before. He made up his mind already that if Josh lost he’d have to kill him, and even suggested he wait and strategise further, but Joshua insisted it was fine. Ed was already drafting letters to Lanius in case.
-After the Dam loss, Ed didn’t kill Josh immediately. He acted like nothing was wrong because he was struggling to go thru with it. Ed was just going to throw him down the Grand Canyon, but wanted him GONE, and ordered the pitch last minute. and they totally slept together beforehand
-Josh tried to climb back up the canyon at first hehe half confused, half angry.
-Ed’s decision to decimate New Canaan was 100% because of the promise he made Joshua before.
-Joshua leaves taunting messages on the bodies of the Frumentarii sent to kill him <3 love letters
-Edward couldn’t stand to be around cooked meat and open flame for a few weeks after Josh’s burn. #vegetarian
-Joshua and Edward both have recurring nightmares about that night for separate reasons.
nsfw hc?? I fear I’m too shy to share those. josh was a total submissive the first few years and then eventually they both got used to the power and control of their roles and sex became a dominating hate thing between them that they enjoyed but eventually it devolved into giving each other the laziest hj and bj youve ever seen
Hiiiii byeeeee love u

Do you have a favorite book or book series? Or maybe a top 5? What are they? ✨
Hi friend!! Thank you so much for the question <3
I have a lot of books that I really love-- in particular I'm a really big fan of travel writing and in general can get on board with almost anything that has good humor to it. Bill Bryson is my favorite author. I collect his books, actually (only second hand copies because that makes finding them in used book stores a lot more exciting)! I find it really difficult to rank my favorite books like a tier list because they're all so lovely, so I'm just going name a bunch (+ commentary) that I adore.
A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson (a hilarious retelling of the author's decision to hike the Appalachian Trail having basically never camped outside a day in his life. 11/10 amazing)
How to Read Houses: A Crash Course in Domestic Architecture by Will Jones (this prob sounds boring but I thought it was really cool. imo a great introduction to recognizing and appreciating architecture-- but more focused on American + European architectural history)
The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green (A series of short essays about the human-centered planet--this is such a comfort book for me!)
The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien (A classic, ofc! I'm actually a bigger fan of this than LOTR)
In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson (I believe this book is called Down Under if you're in the UK. Fascinating journey about the author's travels in Australia!)
Right now I'm reading the Once and Future King by T.H. White and really enjoying it-- although tbh I've been reading that one for a while now because my uni semester means I don't get much time to read recreationally :(
ALSO if anyone ever wants any book recs on physics/astronomy hmu because I can definitely recommend some cool ones!

more re hc stuff ^_^ under cut bc i am just pasting in stuff i've already said on disc to a friend and some of this shit gets Long
👍wesker. has been conditioned to be impatient. if he wants something, he has to get it himself and can't wait for someone else to do it for him
william is way too anxious of a guy to make the first move, so wesker is the one who interrupts him mid sentence and goes I Want You apropos of nothing but hey, it works
if wesker wants someone to stop touching him, he has to Make them. and in the process that stops most people from Trying Him for a while. until the next idiot comes along
if wesker wants the experiments and mutilation to stop, he has to Kill the bastards responsible (perfectly reasonable, ngl. like actually)
and i imagine. killing marcus probably has wesker feeling good. great. amazing, even. like finally things are starting to maybe go well for him
and then having that blow up in his face when, for the first time, his award winning Go Getter attitude backfires badly, and he loses Everything in less than a month.
the remainer of stars want nothing to do with him - understandable, he did have to kill quite a few of them to make the (messy, rushed, impatient) plan work. but still failed in the end (so they sorta died for nothing)
chris wouldn't join him either, for reasons wesker doesn't understand (and won't for some time. his world view is a little skewed and his frame of reference is non existent)
and william is dead. because wesker couldn't wait to carry out the plan like they had discussed umbrella found out about their betrayal and now wesker is Alone
xx
👍claire joined the girl scouts bc she wanted to do wilderness shit, but got disappointed bc its mostly selling cookies. so she dressed up as a boy and used her brother's name to get into boyscouts and got every badge girlie is a survivalist and she goes hiking and camping frequently !!!
xx
👍thinking about ada and in-universe applications of the leon effect. spies, as in Real Life Spies, don't tend to have legal identities, and if they give you a name, chances are it's a fake one. so. headcanon time ada wong is not ada wong's birth name like, even without the trans headcanon. it's a name she came up with for the job wesker assigned her to do in raccoon city, in the event that she needs to give someone a name for whatever reason. and maybe she only really tells it to leon in the first place to get him to stop asking so many questions. give him the bare minimum to distract him from the more . Relevant. issues but then as this bright-eyed, stupidly trusting rookie tails her, even tells her off to being too calloused with kendo, and going as far as taking a Bullet for her. the way leon says that fake name starts to mean More . and it's as she's falling to her death that she realizes maybe ada isn't so fake of a name anymore. maybe she is ada wong and then some time after wesker plucks her from midair and they get out of the city she decides to say hey. i'm going by ada now
and ofc he pretends not to care, but he is curious about what happened to spark the change.
xx
👍the wallflowers - one headlight is a claida song specifically about like . leon made ada want a name. but claire makes her want to be a Person, instead of a half-real shadow of a human being that sheds everything about herself for every new job
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
ada goes into raccoon city that day as a half-real nobody with a mission, and emerges from its ashes as Someone
xx
👍thinkign abt aeon . their dynamic has a lot of potential either as a romantic ship or a burgeoning friendship
the delicate balance of tentative trust between them
ada, who was taught how to tell a near-perfect lie before she could do long division & has never wanted to - or had the opportunity to - hold onto something for very long. Permanent just hasn't been a Thing in her life since… ever
leon, who has been fucked over and betrayed more times than he can count. distrustful and wary but despite it all still tender-hearted. gets attached too quickly and too easily and all too desperate to see the best in people
smth abt. ada doing her best to try and regain leon's trust, and how to navigate life outside of being a spy. and leon having to relearn how to trust ada again, and not jump to the worst conclusion immediately and also they're t4t
