With September just around the corner (can you believe it?) I am here to remind everyone of all the cool activities and programs we have going on at the New York City Public Library next month! We invite Families to attend our weekend events, like Bat Awareness Day, National Queso Day’s Family Cooking Class, or any of our Family Movie nights! Kids will love our Unicorn Mask Decorating and our Noodle Art Hours, while Teens are invited to attend our Hamilton Trivia Night, and our National Comic Book Day Giveaway! Adults won’t be left out either, with our weekly Book Clubs, Computer Courses, and Crochet Circles! And, don’t forget to register for our Fall Reading Challenge, and our 2022 Reading Challenge! 

To everyone else, hi! I’ve been taking a bit of a break from my personal social media, with so much going on and coming up at work. But, now that I am emerging again, I’ll need to be caught up on what I missed. Anyone want to grab dinner and fill a girl in? @atfgstarters​

If you have flyers, I can put them up in my dance studio. You can even post a full calendar, if you want. I’ll let the front desk know.

Hunter: Ha. Funny. Oh I am fan-fucking-tastic, you know.

Hunter: HAppy mONDAY.

Hunter: No. I mean Happy Monday. Clearly.

Sebastian: Are you drunk texting me or angry texting me? I can't quite put my finger on which it is.

Sebastian: Happy Monday to you too, Captain.

As promised, Blaine had come to see Sebastian before his work shift had begun. With him, he had brought soups and supplies to help Sebastian get through the stomach flu that had taken him by surprise. He’d been joking when he’d asked if Blaine could handle him while he was sick, ,but it wasn’t always too far off base. Currently, his struggle with maintaining proper body temperature was raising his frustration levels. He didn’t think he had a fever or anything serious, but he did take his shirt off after he opened the door for Blaine after his work shift ended, because he could feel how damp it had gotten while he’d been napping. “I’m so gross, you’re an angel. How was work?”

Mercy: I am helping him, slowly but surely he will. OMG you did, did that kiss take your breath away? Was it everything you wanted? Everything you thought it would be? You guys are good for each other, I see it. I am happy about it.

Mercy: You get it, and you are right, but how do you approach that thought? How do you tell a guy that you love that you still love him and want to see if there is something there, but you are also considering have a child with your best friend and fostering another. Thats a lot.

Mercy: While doing my research about Foster homes and kids, there are so many who age out of the system with no place to live and no way to move forward. I have been toying with the idea of looking into what it would take to open a sort of place for those kids. Get an abandoned Apartment complex and turn it into a sort of College Dorm situation, with a community center, and maybe a store beneath where they can work. Set them up with a counselor to help map out their future. I dunno its all just an idea and not a firm plan or anything it might sound...crazy.

Sebastian: The way I want to morph into a caricature of a high school girl before I answer your question is unreal. Our first kiss came after we had already been toying with the idea of romance between the two of us. We spent the night just laying with each other before we ever kissed, as much as I think we both wanted it immediately, we waited and I think that was for the best. It wasn't rushed, it wasn't in some mundane location. It's a solid memory, and it stands out in the way I think we both wanted it to. He's good for me, I know that much is true. I hope I can be the same for him.

Sebastian: I think your personal life is your personal life, if he wants to be with you then he'll have to be on board for the ride. It's the same as your career, it's part of who you are and the life you want to live. It'll take time to hear back from the foster agency and even more time for them to find you someone to take home. You'll still have time, you won't have a foster kid tomorrow. You won't be able to birth one as soon as tomorrow either, all of this takes time. So you have that, time, to figure out how to approach things. I think it's all going to be about laying everything on the table, after you two have had some time to be reacquainted. See if you two feel the same way, keep hanging out with him, and when you feel like it's time to start getting serious with him... it's time for the talk. None of these things are bad things, it's just responsibility that he'll have to be ready for.

Sebastian: That's not crazy, that's a good idea. I think you could do something like that. You've got the funds and between all of us, I'm sure you've got the connections to start something like that. You should do it. I think you would make a big difference, and that would make you feel incredibly fulfilled. Let me know if you need anything from me. I can offer job opportunities as well, if any of the kids in your home want to work somewhere else. I can offer a job at my dad's law office, and I can offer a job at my studio. I'll talk to my mom too, see what she has to offer.

SEBASTIAN 📱 KURT

Sebastian: How are things? The internet could use more of your face, you know. Your fans are starving.

[askthesebastiansmythe-archive]

SEBASTIAN 📱 HUNTER

Hunter: You are one of the most ridiculous people I have ever met, I say that with complete and utter certainty. I don't do much singing anymore. You may pick the song. The Commons? Nick's bar. Of course.

Hunter: I will duet there with you, but I won't stay.

Sebastian: I take that as a compliment. I know you don't, that's part of why I want to make sure that you get to participate in this. You used to like to sing, I can't imagine that's changed.

Sebastian: Why won't you stay?

Mercy: I love Kurt and would never want to hurt him, but I love you and want you to have everything you want. So all I can do is be here for both of you. I want you to be able to talk to me about this. You know I won't say anything and even when/if it gets out I will still be on your side because you deserve to be happy and if that happiness is found with Blaine then grab it with both hands and don't let go. Take time to explore it, and make sure that this is what you want, what he wants, before you feed the rumor mill and let them know what is happening.

Mercy: Am I that obvious? Fine I will be as clear as I can be. Sam for me is just like Blaine for you. I love him, I have loved him since that first summer we spent together and I realized that he saw me better than anyone else. Every time we got to the point of being together something happened to break us apart. And now he is here and I look at him, I talk to him and all I can think is how much I still love him. How much I still want him. I am mad because I got closure with Mike and we are friends again, I try to get closure with Sam and all I want is to know if he feels the same way. So I deflect because I would rather be alone in my feelings instead of asking him if he loves me still and finding out he doesn't.

Mercy: Sebastian I wanted a child for every reasons someone wants one, for the reason you want one. I love you, you're my best friend. And yes I want to foster, I want to help kids around here who have no home. I had an idea and want to ask you about it but first, if you want to talk about it, really talk about having a child together then we can do it. I am tired of waiting for a love that might or might not come. If I do end up with Sam or with anyone I know they will love me enough to understand that I decided to give my best friend a child that he deserves, a child of his own.

Sebastian: Hopefully, there will be a day when he can move on too. A time when Blaine pursuing his own happiness isn't going to be counted against Kurt's. I plan on doing exactly that, and I'm already doing so. We've been spending a few random nights together, he's coming to help me get over this cold. We've kissed. Finally. Consider this me telling you instead of renting out a billboard to talk about it.

Sebastian: To me? Yes. But that's because like you just pegged, we're in the same boat. I see myself in you, the desperate hope and eagerness, and even the restraint. It's hard, being in your position. But I think the sooner you two talk about it, the sooner you'll feel better. Take some time to get to know him again and let him get to know you too, but don't block yourself from having a chance by keeping everything to yourself.

Sebastian: What was your idea?

SEBASTIAN 📱 BLAINE

Blaine: I want a real chance with you too.   I’m kind of greedy that way.   And I want a chance to be your friend too.   I would never.  I guess I always liked that you could talk to me; it made me feel special. Talking about it might have made it feel less so.  There is a quote, I don’t remember it exactly but it’s something to the effect of, I’m afraid to talk about you with anyone because they might develop feelings for you too.  

Blaine: I can see that.  It makes sense.  But you might also be one of your own harshest critics– have some of the highest standards for yourself.  And I’m just saying, as someone who cares about you, that it bothers me, that people are adding to that.   I don’t have any answers to that.  

Blaine: I guess I will have to show you all the things you do deserve. J’aime lire ça.  

Blaine: It’s the truth.  I am so proud of who you are.

Blaine:  It’s not current, and it’s not a duet, but I think it could work well– Your Song by Elton John?  Did you know there is a French/English duet sort of version of Total Eclipse of the Heart called Si Demain (Turn Around)?  

Blaine: Yeah?  Okay.  Good.   Let’s say six.  Dress to be outside at night.  And don’t plan on being home before late morning.  You know I like spending the night with you whenever I can.  

Sebastian: I like greedy. You can be as greedy with me as you want. You’ve always been my friend, but I know what you mean; to have a shot at having that back, without all of the negative. I want that too. You are special. There has always been something about you that I’ve never found in anyone else. Have you watched The Good Place? You’re my Chidi. That’s cute. You can talk to me about it; I’m already in love with myself so you’ve got nothing to lose. ;P

Sebastian: Maybe so. It’s hard not to be when I’ve set the precedents that I have. I have a lot to make up for if I want to be even half as good at being good as I was at being bad. It’s alright, it is what it is. It’s not like I didn’t earn it myself.

Sebastian: I’m here for it, I’ll take any opportunity to steal your time and focus.

Sebastian: That means the world to me. I want you to be.

Sebastian: Would you believe if I said I had been thinking about Your Song myself? And you can tell anybody, that this is your song... Tell me that isn’t exactly what I want to sing to you right in this moment, you’d be wrong. I didn’t know about Si Demain, but honestly that sounds perfect too. We can do both, if you want. I’m greedy too, I’ll take as much of you as I can get. And I love hearing you sing.

Sebastian: Of course, absolutely. It’ll be a dream come true. I can do all of that. Oh, I wouldn’t plan for anything else. I like that too, falling asleep and waking up with you is surreal. Another dream come true.

Mercy: I was, and now I am rooting for you and love and if that is what you have with B then who am I to judge? I want you happy, I want you to have everything you deserve which is the world! So if thats Blaine Anderson, then I wish you all the happiness. You know, what happened with B and Kurt sucked, but no one wants to be alone nor should they and

moving on is healthy.

Mercy: Sam had his faults but he changed the last time we were in New York. But all this is a moot point. Just like my child will be around Sam they will be around everyone, and I want to make sure they know they are loved. If and its a big if since Sam seems to have moved on, we get a second chance, then I will take everything up that you said, but I really don't think that he sees me like that. But I will make sure he is a good influence.

Mercy: Its that to you know? If we had a child, then that child would have us, and our significant others if we decide to get married and do you think Blaine would accept you and me having a child together? I have thought about it and I wonder all of those things.

Sebastian: I just want the chance to find out, you know? Things could have turned out a million ways, and they still might. You know and Quinn knows. Though everyone assumes, so we might as well say everyone knows. I do think we deserve the opportunity to try, just like anyone else. With the potential for gossip, I haven't really talked about it with anyone in any depth. Except Blaine, of course, but that's obvious.

Sebastian: I hope so. Like I said, I'm not trying to steer you away from HIM, I'm trying to make sure you both steer clear of those old HABITS. The habits are the villain, not Sam Evans, and he can avoid those habits and be a good match for you if he really wants to. But you know me, I have high standards, and I know you. You deserve the best. So I do want to make sure you remember the negatives from before so that you two can talk through them before they become an issue again. I've learned that there is a right way and a wrong way to do things, and you have to be honest. With him and with yourself. Because I know you, you do want Samcedes babies. I can see the same torch lit in your eyes that I've been carrying for Blaine. There's nothing wrong with that, I just want to make sure you do right by yourself and the future that you want for yourself. Maybe he still likes you like that, maybe he doesn't, but liking you back should not be the only standard he has to meet and I just wanted to make sure you had considered that. Because you deserve that respect.

Sebastian: There are definitely a few things along those lines that have crossed my mind. Blaine has Hepburn with Kurt, and I am positive that even if he didn't.. he would understand and be fine with my decision. Neither of us can birth a child in 2022, so I would have to adopt, foster, or find a surrogate anyway. As different as it is from the usual family model, I do think we could make it work. Some might see the situation as unstable, but I don't. Unconventional, but we're adults, we can explain it to a child and we're both capable of coming up with a life plan we both agree to that allows us to live the life we're looking for. My personal concern was more that I could see your fantasy around having a child being centered around wanting a family, and I didn't want to mention that I was willing before you had the chance to consider someone you'd want to live with romantically and have a more conventional family unit. Or at least someone with a better track record than me, or something on your own. Like fostering or adoption.

[PM]: I’m so sorry Sebastian.  I didn’t mean to get you sick.  I’m working tonight, but I could stop by before or after, or both, with some soup, or liquids, or anything you need.  I could probably get Nick to cover my shift too.  I could try to take care of you, if you’d like.  

PM: Not your fault at all, I had a great time with you, on our official date. I’d go and do it all over again right now.  I won’t get in the way of your work, but I won’t say no if you want to come see me before and/or after. I’d like that. We’ll see how you like me at my most obnoxious. You can stay here too, if you want. Overnight.

Mercy: Oh Bas, that is, really romantic. I am glad you had that moment, you both deserve it. I don't want either of you to be alone and its like you said the heart wants what it wants and your heart it wants him.

Mercy: You make it seem like Sam and I are about to get together and raise Samcedes babies around here. At the end of the day we are friends, good friends and if thats all we are then thats okay. But I do know what you mean, and I don't want to be that person either. But I won't lie, I do really truly love him as much as I don't want to.

Mercy: Oh you are amazing for sure! I've considered it too, but I didn't want you to feel obligated. But our kids would be gorgeous.

Sebastian: It really was. I've been with a lot of people but it's never been like this. You were rooting for Dave and I, but I don't think I'm his type. I'm a big city guy, I like bars and skyscrapers and traveling the world. I had a thing for Hunter once upon a time, might have been a rebound, but I'm not his type either. Blaine and I have always been able to hold long conversations, he gets me. I do want him, I want the chance at least. To try.

Sebastian: Not Samcedes babies, but if you're looking to have a child brought into your life and you're hanging out with him, let's be real here. He's going to be in that child's life, so if he ends up being the kind of lazy person he was before... your kid is going to see that. If he walks all over you like he did before, your kid is going to see that. If he doesn't seem to appreciate you and what you do, the life you provide and the love you offer, your kid is going to see that. So if you're thinking about having a kid, you have to consider your kid while considering love options. I'm not saying lock the door and throw away the key, but you will have to have this conversation with him if you end up considering him romantically. I know you're just catching up right now, but keep that in mind. With the way he acted before, I can't help but side eye the timing a little bit, it's just unfortunate because if he hasn't matured it's going to end up being him or your child's healthy future. Not both. But who knows, maybe time as a spinster like me has opened his eyes and made him turn over some leaves.

Sebastian: I don't feel obligated at all. To put it bluntly, I want a family too. I want to be a dad. Why do you think I chose to surround myself with kids every day as a career choice? I could have focused on adults, or as Quinn has reminded me every day... I could have focused on myself. I could dance competitively. But instead I spend my time twirling with ribbons and bubble guns to Baby Shark. Our kids would be gorgeous, but I also think we could manage a civil dynamic that despite being a platonic mom and dad relationship, would be healthy and managable.

Mercy: You know I kinda had a feeling but I wasn't going to say anything. Its not my place to question or judge. All I want is for you to be happy. Yes you can trust me, I won't say anything.

Mercy: We did but then again its still just... Sam's here and I don't know what that means. He's Teaching at a Performing Arts School here in New York. Also he isn't living with me, he has his own place in Hell's Kitchen. You sound like Dre, he feels the same way, that Sam isn't the one. Would you believe me if I told you he's being really supportive about me wanting to start my own family? I don't know what the future holds, theres a big chance he doesn't see me as anything as a friend so you and Dre may be getting worked up over nothing.

Mercy: Speaking of Kids...you are probably gonna be getting a call as a character reference for me, so look out for that.

Sebastian: The heart wants what it wants. I know what it looks like from the outside when it comes to both of our characters, but at the same time... is he meant to be alone forever? Am I meant to be alone forever? We had a great time. He took me out beyond city limits, far enough to get a good look at the stars, and we spent the whole night laying together under the night sky. Talking. Dancing.

Sebastian: All of that sounds good, and like I just said... the heart wants what it wants. Who knows what he wants, just know your worth. I don't want to see the independent, strong, Mercedes Jones walked all over by any man. That's all. I'd believe he's being supportive, but I'd also believe that everything that having a kid entails is a lot to hope he'll be able to handle with your past. He did raise his siblings so who knows what he's capable of, but I do worry.

Sebastian: Oh yeah? Well, you know I'll have nothing but sparkling things to say about you and your abilities. I'm so sure that you'll make a great mom that I've considered volunteering to help make that a reality more than a few times when it comes up.

Mercy: YOU WENT ON A DATE!!!!!!!!!! WITH WHO!!!!!!

Mercy: I am good...Sam's back in town and we hung out...

Sebastian: Here's to hoping you don't judge me, I know you won't start the gossip mill; Blaine asked me out. I plan on asking him out this weekend, I'm working on something. We've been keeping things between the two of us for obvious reasons, so I know I can trust you to keep this to yourself for now.

Sebastian: I think we talked about Sam being back already. I hope he's doing more than playing video games, spending all your money, and not doing any chores while you're out busting your ass all day. I know you like him, but I also remember how his immaturity was something you two couldn't get over and I know you're trying to do the very mature thing that is having a child. He took you for granted. Feel free to give your two cents though, that's just mine. I had issue with Dave getting with someone with "Stoner" in their nickname too, so my high standards aren't just set on you.
