I just read a detailed account of the Bal des Ifs and I’d never realised how funny this event was when you don’t focus on Madame de Pompadour. All I was taught at school is that it was the masquerade ball in 1745 where Louis XV first took (public) notice of la Pompadour, but what I didn’t know was that the former royal mistress had recently died so there was a vacancy so to speak, and a lot of noblewomen showed up specifically hoping to catch the King’s attention. 

But he came dressed up as a shrub (a yew tree similar to the ones in the royal topiary gardens) along with seven other men in identical costumes, so no one knew for sure which one was the King. People always focus on how Madame de Pompadour recognised the royal shrub and talked to him, but what about the women who didn’t!! History is written by the winners but I want to hear about the women who doggedly danced the minuet with random shrubs hoping this one was the one. My book mentions that a determined noble lady followed a yew tree outside the room on a hunch, only to find that she had bet on the wrong shrub. This is what the shrub costumes looked like by the way, imagine stalking one all over the park of Versailles at night because you think his gait looks kingly and you are an ambitious noblewoman

Solomon is so used to being alone and unwanted that he still gets startled by every touch of affection you give him. Jumps when you touch his elbow as you step next to him, shifts when you reach for his knee under the table because he thinks he’s crowding you. It takes a while for it to sink in that those touches are because you want to be close to him and even then, when he plays it cool, it still makes his heart flutter every time.

giving keys to the trio who would absolutely use it as an opportunity to come and go at their leisure, especially when it’s most inconvenient. only riddle can be reliable and trustworthy enough to not abuse the honor of having a spare key.

i think brian has a rock collection that hes found around the shack and he used to give tim a lot of his rocks that he found

(tim still has a rock after everythings over i think , keeps it as a memory since theres nothing to bury)

it's his shack in the woods and he gets to choose how to decorate

Greetings!! I am curious to see how the ROs would react to Mc baking them something for their birthday as a surprise?

Greetings dear guest!

AURORA: Aurora is furious with you because she thinks that you forgot her birthday. She has a constant frown on her face the entire day. What she doesn't know is that you are working on a surprise for her. When you barge in her room singing her favorite song with her favorite baked chocolate chip cookies in your hand, where she's cooped up in her bed because she doesn't feel like celebrating as 'someone' important forget her birthday, Aurora rushes over and kisses you softly. She gently caresses your face and whispers sweet things to you. You eat those cookies together just like you both used to do as kids, and you ask her if you helped her in wiping the frown off her face and she says:

"You did. Now let me wipe those cookie crumbs off your face"

PAX: Pax doesn't care much for birthdays. However, if you baked something for him on his birthday, his heart would melt. You know that Pax has a sweet tooth and that his favorite treat is a cheesecake. So you spend the day hiding from Pax and baking him the cake. When you surprise them with the cake, they are momentarily speechless. Their nonchalant facade breaks and they light up like a Christmas tree. Pax holds your face and plants a passionate kiss on your lips. It turns heated soon, and the cheesecake is forgotten, because-

"I am hungry for something else now"

VIOLET: Violet loves baking. She is not very good at it, but she loves it anyways. When you bake her something as a surprise for her birthday, she is ecstatic. She just wishes she could have done it with you. She says that she doesn't want to eat it because she wants to save it forever as she likes it so much. Her lips find yours, and she never wants to let them go again. After you have both celebrated her birthday, she says that she wants to bake something else with you(disaster and mess in the kitchen ensues).

"Oh wait-no-i don't think that's the way to- did i turn it on too quickly?woahhhh-"

NICK: Nick is extremely fond of parties. He enjoys celebrating his birthdays in the grandest ways possible. You surprise him with a baked avant-garde cake and he falls in love with you more(he didn't know that was possible). He would lift you up and spin you around or climb onto you and smooch you all over. He has never received a surprise gift quite like yours. You both enjoy the cake and Nick tries to mess your face up with some frosting but ends up covered in more cake than you.

"Best. Birthday. Ever."

which one of you is a better kisser?

K: We'd have to ask someone who has kissed both of us. L: It's probably me. K: How come whenever we get these questions, it's always you? L: Because I'm the best. K: I have an idea. L: What? K: Let's let our dear asker decide. They can kiss us and see for themself.
