#BUT we can react to each other on our dm's-

[cheriladycl01]

Hi!

Could you please write something for whichever f1 driver you want with a reader who's a children's books illustrator and author? Maybe they get to know each other because his niece is obsessed with her books and he took her to one of her events.

I'd like to see how the grid and the media would react to someone so bubbly, kind, and creative!

Thnx!! <3

My sunshine - Lewis Hamilton x ChildrensAuthor! Reader

Plot: Lewis comes home to find his niece and nephew obsessed with one lady’s books! Little did he know you’d end up being his whole future!

“What you reading there?” Lewis asked as he grabbed some fruit from the fridge and started to cut it up. Babysitting was one of his favourite free time activities.

“MAE THE MAGICIAN” they both yell at him, making him pause cutting the fruit. He knew his niece really enjoyed reading but to see his nephew so excited about this book was odd.

“Mmmm what’s it about?” Lewis asks as he starts to make little snack boxes for the two, ready to take them out to the park.

“This girl called Mae, and she helps Gaia and George using her Magic tricks, she’s funny” the girl describes to her favourite Uncle.

“Woah, what kind of magic tricks does she do?” He asks.

“She makes sure their homework is complete and their beds are made for when their mum gets home!” His nephew explains.

“Oh and then this book is good to. Can we show you our library uncle Lewis” his nephew begs looking up at him with those puppy dog eyes that he couldn’t say no too!

He follows them up, being taken to one of the smaller bedrooms that was being used as as playroom/ library. There was an expanse of books, but what caught his eye was how many of the same author there were.

It was the same one as the book they were reading from earlier. It seemed she had lots of kids books varying in ages from very young, basically just pictures books, to a series of books which reminded him of the Rainbow Magic Series that his brothers girlfriend had read when she was younger.

They all had titles of careers with a matching name. Both boys and girls.

Alex the Astrologist

Bianca the Brain Surgeon

Colin the Conductor

Daisy the Dragon Tamer

Ethan the Ecologist

Freya the F1 Driver

Who?

That intrigued him.

“Have you guys read all of these?” He asks with wide eyes.

“Of course! She’s the best! Our favourite” one of them exclaims as they re-order books that had been misplaced.

“Which ones your favourite?” He asks his nephew.

“She wrote one about me! Called Kaiden the Karate Master” he exclaims making chopping actions with his hands.

“And you?” He asks Willow.

“She wrote one about me to called Willow the Writer” she says shoving the book at him happily to which he looks through looking at all the cute little illustrations to which he later researched that they were actually drawn by the author as well.

Upon doing further research and trying to get some of her latest books on pre-order he went down a rabbit hole, finding her instagram which was incredibly cozy and just what he expected from an author.

There was a few posts of her charity work and what she did around her community. The links led him to her official website where she had her various charities, an about her page that he couldn’t help but browse but he also saw a part where it showed up and coming events.

“Willow? Kaiden? How would you feel about going to meet Y/N Y/L/N, maybe get a few books signed?” He asks the next morning, wondering whether that would be something they were into.

“YES!” They’d both screamed.

He sent you a DM on Instagram explaining that he was planning on bringing his niece and nephew to your book signing in London. You replied immediately which shocked him, explaining you’d be more than happy to do a private signing afterwards for him and his family and how you were a huge fan of his.

At the book signing.

You were pretty exhausted after the public signing and needed to have a break and just grab a drink where your throat was on fire for talking as much as you had.

But within the hour you were ready to see Lewis and his niece and nephew. They were so polite to you when you stood up to greet them and what shocked Lewis even more is how easily you communicated to the younger kids.. It was like second nature to you how you used your hands to basically animate everything you say to make you seem so youthful and energetic.

“Hi I’m Lewis and this is Willow and Kaiden” he introduced and from after that he was insanely smitten with you, everything you did he would watch with wide eyes.

You spent the time interacting with the kids and signing the copious amounts of books that they had bought for you to sign. You also talked to them about upcoming stuff that they would enjoy where they had really liked your career series for young children.

“Hey I know you might think this is a little soon but I’d really like to take you out some time, for dinner” he asked one his sibling had taken the kids outside to the car say that he could ask you some more personal questions. They ranged from what you enjoyed to how you got into writing children’s books specifically.”

“Well, I think I would really like that, I don’t think I’ve ever been out on a proper date” she smiles looking down and blushing lightly at the comment.

”Never been on a proper date, I’ll have to treat you right then?” he smirks looking over you.

“Where would we go?” You ask politely starting to collect the books left over from the signing.

“Out to a restaurant or a movie, maybe a picnic at some point when it’s warmer the weather isn’t great right now” he says stepping closer to her.

After the book signing you and Lewis went on dates, lots of them and to say his niece and nephew were excited was an understatement you would randomly turn up to family events and they’d start to get your books early and not published Waterstones versions that normally were gifted to them.

“Baby I really want you to come to a race with me, I want to show you off to everyone there and how cute you are. I bet the grid will love you just as much as I do. Actually scrap that, that’s impossible” he smiles and you can’t help but giggle.

“Of course I’ll come with you Lew” you smile leaning across him and kissing his check, before gripping his hands and holding them.

“You ready to meet everyone?” He asks with that soft chocolaty voice that could make you melt.

“I think so, I’m just kind of nervous what they’ll think” you say a light blush forming into your face wondering if you’d embarrass yourself on camera, or if they’d ask you questions … it was hard.

“Well, for the record I know they’ll love you. You want a run down?” And you of course nod wanting to know as much as possible.

“Well, there’s my teammate Charles who you’ll probably meet first in the garage. You’ll love his girlfriend Alex she’s a diamond and you’ll talk about fashion no doubt!” He grins and you not trying to take in the names knowing more are to come.

He talks about his ex team-mates George and Valtteri and how you’d get on with both of them pretty well. He also knew Lando and Daniel would love you, as you all had very similar bubbly people personality’s.

He was excited to show you off to not just them but everyone, you weren’t like the other Hollywood Stars and actresses you were just so … normal? NOT that he would ever describe you as that, because that almost felt like an insult to you.

“Are you nervous baby?” He asks looking over to you as he pulls into the paddock.

“A little, I’ve never been around this many people here before” you say looking over to him, grabbing onto his hand on the gear stick.

“You’ll be fine, and you’ll finally get to watch me in my job. I love watching you write and draw but I want you to see what I do” he nods and you smile, loving this side of Lewis.

He had this intimacy that you’d never experienced with anyone else. Little things he appreciated knowing that you’d never had with anyone else.

You walked through the paddock together scanning your little pass on the thing seeing an awful picture of you come up that Lewis must have submitted.

“Lewis what the hell!” You asked gazing at the picture he’d chosen.

“What! I love that photo of you!” He smiles happily gazing at you looking at the picture that slowly disappears.

“Come on, let’s get you to the garage so you can get familiar with everything” he smiles a hand sneaking round your waist as he guides you through the bustling paddock.

When you enter Ferrari Garage your greeted by all the mechanics, a lot of them with young children knowing exactly who you are and wanting pictures to show their kids when they got home.

Charles and Alexandra greeted you only 30 minutes later and you and Alex got along great, taking Roscoe and Leo for walks around the paddock while she tried to help you adjust to all the hustle and bustle of life in motorsport.

“So how long have you and Lewis been together now?” Alex asked with a small polite smile.

“Oh! It feels like forever! He’s only been so sweet and like to me” you grin, your voice getting louder and louder as you talk about Lewis. Alex notices and can’t help but smile at how you’re talking about Lewis.

After meeting Alex and Charles the next people you ended up meeting was Lando and Oscar. Lewis had asked you to grab his water bottle from the car which he’d left behind and you got lost on your way back the two McLaren drivers immediately noticing and recognising you.

They helped you back to the garage just as they were being called for the race and that they needed to get into the car.

Then next thing you knew as you were watching Lewis come round a corner, a little drift as skidded in the gravel but caught himself well enough that it didn’t lessen his time too much.

Then you were casted on the TV screens and you couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

You gave a polite little wave and grin to the camera before it panned off of you and back onto the race.

“And that’s Y/N Y/L/N she’s the current partner of Lewis Hamilton and she’s a very well known author of children’s books, ones that actually my own children read and I just know they are going to be kicking their feet that I got to meet her today” the commentator offers with a little chuckle.

“Yeah what did you think of her?” The other commentator for Sky Sports asks.

“Ah she’s just so sweet, she wouldn’t stop talking about her writing and I was more than happy to listen and she was so polite and happy and god’s I want her in the paddock more often, she’s such a little ray of sunshine”

After all the excitement, you had this energy around you that you couldn’t describe and it gave you loads of writing juices. You got home to the hotel that night and you wrote down all your ideas, sat in Lewis lap.

You knew for sure you’d be coming back to way more races and you’d been missing out!

And there you were, on your way to meet up with your boyfriend. Yes, boyfriend. Percy Jackson was now your boyfriend. When you told your beloved friends Silena and Annabeth, they weren't as shocked about it as you thought they would be.

"Finally."

"It's not like we weren't expecting it."

Maybe at least pretend. Let's all hold hands in a circle and jump up and down and chant of happiness. Okay maybe that's too much, you had just thought that after all the screaming at you to get it together, they'd have more of a reaction for when you finally got it together. Whatever, moving on. Finally you made it to Percy's, aw he left the door open this time. Now what if you just scared him a little.

You slowly walked through the door to be sure not to make any noise. After you did that you tip-toed your way to his room and ran through the door, the loud sound of it combined with your screaming scared the shit out of him.

He threw his phone in the air and sat there like the soul left his body. "Did I scare you?"

"I think I saw the stars" you started laughing at Percy as you walked toward him. "No like never do that again please."

"Hey," you sat on your legs in front of him on his bed. "No promises" you smiled as you leaned forward and kissed him, which he happily did back. You pushed back into him, laying down on top of him. After a few minutes your phone started ringing from your back pocket. You went to reach for it when Percy grabbed your hand.

"Come on just ignore it" and went back to kissing you. You ignored the phone till it stopped ringing. You went and continued on with what you were previously doing, at least that's what you wanted to do. Right after it stopped ringing it started again. You leaned up from Percy and let out an exasperated and dramatic sigh as you got up and answered the phone.

"Hello" you said harshly.

"Sorry to interrupted you" Nico said. "Jeez."

"Nico did you need something" you said trying to get him to talk quickly.

"Did you forget what day it is" Nico asked.

"Enough with your little riddles what is it?" SPIT IT OUT.

"Its parents day" Nico stated.

"So what, our moms are dead, who cares." Percy almost laughed at your bluntness but he didn't know if it was the time for that.

"Not those parents, godly parents. Dads here." You almost dropped the phone out your hand when he said that.

"Dads there" you asked, voice sounding a little high-pitched.

"Yup, so you might wanna hurry up. Bye." Shit. See the thing is, you weren't necessarily scared of your dad. Maybe a little, he has anger issues. Despite him being Hades, him being your father made him less scary, but you guys still weren't the closest. The only problem is Percy, your boyfriend, and guy you are currently sitting on. He has a hatred for Percy one would not understand and you don't want to know how he would react to him now dating his daughter.

"My dad's here" you said once more. You looked down at Percy who looked a little nervous. "Why are you suddenly nervous about Hades' presence?"

"Because he hates me and I'm sleeping with his daughter."

"Haha. Well, I gotta run, literally. Bye" you said as you quickly pecked him and ran back to your dorms. Not even noticing Poseidon chillin the couch relaxing, and knowing of your presence. It only took 6 minutes to make it back home, that may have been record time. You summed through the door and opened it to see your dad and Nico sitting on opposite sides of each other in the living room.

Nico and your father never had the greatest relationship and it really showed. Ever since his his real sister Bianca died, their relationship was strained. You wondered if she never passed, would your father had liked him more? All you knew was that it was better for everyone if you were around, less awkward. Kind of.

"Hey guys" you said as you slide in the seat next to Nico. He looked kind of nervous, expected when your sitting in front of the god of death, even if he is your father.

"Hello Y/N, me and Nico were just.. talking." It was silent when you walked in.

"Really? About what?" You played into it. You turned and saw Nico suppressing a small smile.

"you know, the usual" Nico said. Code for nothing by the way. You wanted to laugh a little but you didn't let that show.

"I didn't realize my kids were little jokesters" Hades said seriously. "Y/N, did you forget the date today?"

"Um, no" you lied.

"Then why is it you weren't here. What was more important that seeing your father? Hmm?" Your father questioned you. It felt like he knew, but its not like you or anyone you know would've told him. They know his feelings about Percy. And there's actually no way Hades uses instagram. As you were in thought, you may or may not have been quiet a little too long.

"Did you know Aphrodite hasn't shut up about this little love show of hers? Do you know how it felt to find out she was speaking of my daughter and Percy Jackson of all people? And the pictures online on that weird app she showed me? Despicable." Your father rambled while shaking his head. You turned to Nico in shock while you watch him try not to laugh at your possible despair.

"Um, surprise? I guess.." you said unenthusiastically and nervous.

"I'd kill that boy, but it'd be a whole thing with my brother. I'm not in the mood for that family drama." Hades rolled his eyes while speaking. "You have a rather ill choice with men in my opinion. You must hope I don't have a run-in with that boy. And lastly, if he even dares step foot in my realm once more, just remember I don't care if he's your.. boyfriend." He didn't elaborate on what would happen if Percy stepped foot in the underworld again, he didn't need to say another word for you to get the picture of what would happen to him. You were sure he didn't even want to go back in the first place. Unless maybe his mom got kidnapped again, but you know, fat chance.

"Yeah.. gotcha." You said simply. That actually went easier than you thought it would.

"Always, nice to see you both, but I must head out" Hades said as he stood up from his seat.

"Bye dad" you and Nico said at the same time. You both sat in silence as you watched your father walk out the room and disappear back to the underworld. You let out a sigh as you lifted your feet on the couch and leaned over on Nico's shoulder. He leaned his head on yours.

"Next time I'll remember the date and not leave you too alone again, I know its awkward" you said.

"At least he was just focused on you" Nico sighed.

"Yeah, blame Aphrodite for that I guess." You sat up. "And why didn't you get grilled about Will" you said jokingly annoyed.

"Well for starters, maybe because Will isn't like, his mortal enemy." Oh okay.

"Alright bro, no need to get snappy with me."

"Sorry Y/N, just stating facts here" Nico shrugged. "Anyways I was in fact planning to hangout with Will so.." Aww, wait..

"Are you kicking me out again?"

"Sorry, he has to many siblings" Nico said.

"Whatever, I was gonna head back to hang out with Percy anyways" you said as you got up headed it out. Nico shouted a bye from the couch and you shouted it back as you shut the door and made your way to Percy's.

Finally your back. You are currently standing at the door pounding on it like there's no tomorrow. Fifteen seconds later Percy opened the door looking at you wide-eyed.

"How'd it go with your dad" he asked quickly making you laugh. He moved to the side letting you in.

"Oh it went fine, just make sure to stay out of his way and the underworld or, you know" you said knowing you didn't need to continue speaking.

"Sounds just like my brother" you stopped in your tracks. Poseidon, Percy's dad, is currently sitting on the couch.

"Oh, um... hello." You said. Percy chuckled at your awkwardness.

"Don't worry, just cause your dad would like to blast me to bits doesn't mean my dad feels the same about you." you rolled your eyes as Percy said this. Poseidon just laughed at the two.

"I would've said hello to you earlier but you were running out quite fast" what was he.. oh.

"Oh, you were here?" You were just thinking about what if Nico never called you getting to to go home. Now THAT would've been more awkward than having a conversation with your own dad. And for the record, its very awkward.

"Yes I was. Aphrodite would've had a field day" Poseidon joked. You and Percy got a little warm in the face. "Anyways I must be off now, things to do and kingdoms to run, you know how it is." Poseidon walked up to Percy to hug him, he pulled away and ruffled his hair before walking out the door.

"I wish Hades was friendlier like Poseidon."

"Me too."

"Wanna have a movie night" you asked.

"Oh my gods let's go. I'll go make popcorn" Percy said excitedly.

"We're having a Harry Potter movie marathon" you stated as you went to get the first movie ready.

"Yo low-key I could take him in a fight. He's not all that." Percy said as the microwaved beeped letting us know that the popcorn finished.

"That's really interesting Percy"

"You know I could why are you the way you are" Percy was sitting down next to you on the couch, moving close under the blanket.

"You mean why am I so amazing and cool and sexy and hot" you joked.

"I think we should just click play"

You guys stopped paying attention after the first movie.

[10:35] AM

When you woke up you were now alone on the couch. You sat up and looked around for Percy when you smelled waffles. The delicious smell gravitated you toward the kitchen.

"Good morning" you greeted Percy. You walked over behind him while he stood at the stove as you wrapped your arms around his waist.

"Good morning sleepyhead" Percy said. You kissed him on his back and jumped on the counter next to the stove.

"What a gentleman, cooking me breakfast." He looked at you confused, making you confused. "What?"

"What makes you think this is for you, I was the hungry one who took initiative" he looked at you like it was obvious.

"You're saying" you swung your arms around "all of this food is for you? You dam near big as hell you know that?"

"Oh I've heard" he winked. You just looked up at the ceiling and sighed, wondering how you got yourself here. "I'm just messing with you, obviously this is for the both of us."

"Thank gods, I was so hungry I wasn't even going to mention the blue waffles." you said as you just picked one up and stuffed it in your mouth.

"Okay, last time I checked we weren't barbarians. Grab a plate" Percy said.

"Ugh what are you my dad" you joked.

"Erm no. I think your dad would actually start a war if he heard you were comparing us" you both just started laughing. After you composed yourself you went and grabbed a plate for your waffle, you proceeded to drown it in syrup, earning a glare from Percy.

"Hey Y/N, don't freak out when I say this but I think there's a waffle hiding in your syrup."

"Oh my god thanks for telling me, I had no idea" you said sarcastically. "Gods forbid I eat the way I like."

"Your allowed to do what you want as long as its not.. never mind. I just forget your so.. special" he paused before he said special, clearly not calling you special the way you would've like. These men.

"Sorry you don't enjoy cuisine the way I do" You rolled eyes as Percy finished getting food and you both sat at the kitchen island to eat. The waffles were really good and didn't need all that syrup by the way. You just liked bothering Percy. You also just liked Percy himself but you didn't need to inflate his ego more (ur dating its okay to say you like him).

Hey, guys! I'd like to address a personal issue which actually concerns everyone in this fandom. Please, read and react somehow🙏 For those on the bojere fanbook server, that's going to be pretty much the same as what you read yesterday. If I'm too direct or accidentally overshare, sorry, keep in mind that I'm autistic

So for quite a long time I felt secretly disliked in the fandom. I am a very anxious person, I hang on every piece of feedback that I get so it bothered me a lot. I wasn't allowed to participate in the Käärijä zine and they never explained why and I almost didn't get in the bojere fanbook as well but at least the mods were kind enough to communicate the issue

So the mods told me yesterday that people felt uncomfortable about me taking part in this and having me on the server. I felt very down the whole day and didn't understand shit until Moko and Due gave me the explanation. The issue was "radfem" in my bio on Twitter. They explained to me how my associating with radfem made them think I was potentially threatening to other people on the server, especially the queer folk. But the thing is I turned out to be quite different. I consider myself to be radfem cause I've had a lot of traumatic experience with men (SA, abusive relationship), I don't want any other women to go through something like I had to experience, I am with women, I'm fighting for our comfort and against the patriarchy. Also I am from Kazakhstan and we have big issues with women's rights here including all kinds of abuse and femicide for which men tend to not get in jail. You might have heard how our ex minister of Economics abused and k*lled his wife and didn't get in jail until the case reached the news. That's all, that's what it means TO ME to be radfem. So I guess this radfem is different to the one you're used to. I am not transphobic and I have never thought my views had anything to do with queer people. I have always been nothing but respectful towards queer people, online or irl. I have nonbinary friends who are comfortable with communicating with me. As a cis person, I may not understand something, but we tend to talk anything through in order to understand each other better, not waiting for any of us get hurt accidentally. So I suggest the same - if you need further clarification, you can ask me questions in reblog or dms and I'll answer. Also I'm open to literature suggestions to get to understand you guys better💕

Also regarding Russian-Ukranian issue in case anyone has a problem with it

Since I'm openly Russian speaking (though being from Kazakhstan and half Ukrainian myself), Ukrainians might have an issue with me and I perfectly understand why so I try not to bother them. However, some of them didn't want to leave me and my friends alone. You might have seen this big Russian-Ukranian fight on twitter in April, mostly taking place in JO fandom. The thing is that (again) people don't dig deep and assume I am pro Russian since I speak Russian and happen to not be able to speak Ukrainian or Kazakh (in Kazakhstan we mostly speak Russian). Me and my Russian speaking friends were bullied, our personal info was leaked without our permission and one of us got threatened to be physically hurt once she arrives to a JO gig we are all going to. Of course I protected my friends and myself, maybe not in the best way possible. Luckily, we were able to talk everything through with the guys and no one means to hurt anyone anymore. I suggested doing commissions for donations and I still do that if you're interested. I am pro Ukrainian and pro Palestinian and genocides suck

If someone doesn't want to communicate with me for whatever reason, just don't, what's the problem. But don't limit a person before clarifying things, I beg you. Please, I really want to be on good terms with everyone. I wish peace to everyone 🙏

Hello everyone, good morning / afternoon / evening! ❤️

First and foremost, we want to thank each and every one of you for your continued support and interest in Blue Harbor! Summer is a busy season for many of us, but as we reach the tail end and fall slowly approaches, we couldn't be prouder to foster a little community where we can all get away from the craziness of everyday life. As we'd like to reiterate, we strive to keep this group as inclusive and welcoming as possible — to new and old members alike! Thus, we want to issue a few gentle reminders to everyone in light of some feedback that we've received thus far to ensure that we all remain on the same page. Please read the entire post thoroughly and like this post once you've done so in order to acknowledge that you've read it.

As per our activity guidelines, we enforce a strict no bubbling policy. Each week, we require that all members reply to three different muns in order to pass our activity check. These three muns whom you interact with per character must be switched out as often as feasibly possible from week to week in order to ensure that you are interacting with as many other writers as possible within the group. In general, if you feel as though you are struggling with this, please reach out to us and we will do our best to help! Additionally, a 'randomized groups' task / event will be rolling out within the next few weeks in order to spice things up on the dash and facilitate new connections; if this poses any issues for anybody, let us know off anon!

In a similar vein, we ask that you please attempt to prioritize threads evenly. We completely understand that sometimes you have to go where the muse takes you, or sometimes there may be plot-driven threads that take priority over others, but we want to reiterate that everyone should feel welcomed here regardless of IC / OOC connections! If there are threads in your roster that you simply aren't feeling anymore, that's perfectly okay, but please try to let your thread partner know so you can think of something new together!

In terms of OOC activity, please put your best foot forward when it comes to reacting to calls and plotting. Slide a react to someone you may have not interacted with before, offer up your best ideas and apply as much effort as possible when fleshing out character dynamics. Additionally, we understand that sometimes things get lost and it may be hard to keep up with the sheer amount of amazing writers that we have in this group, but we also ask that you try your best to stay on top of messages as a result of calls and plots. We say that it's never too late to go back to a DM and continue the conversation!

In terms of IC activity, we want to clarify that our definition of an interaction consists of a traditional written thread. We absolutely adore the increase in text / call / facetime threads on the dash, and we do not want them to stop by any means. We think they're a wonderful way of keeping muse high and furthering development for characters! We just ask that you keep in mind that they do not count towards activity check, and you will still need three different thread interactions in order to pass each week! This will be further clarified on our official guidelines page as we realized it was not previously specified.

"20 minutes ago I got a DM from the clown." Chris looks at his phone.

"Really?" Matt asks surprised Tanner was still bugging Chris.

"He was giving shit."

"He's still going?" Matt asks.

"Who?" Nick asks lost for a second.

"Dani's ex friend's ex boyfriend." Chris tells him, "He saw the clip from our last-,"

Matt cuts in, "He saw Chris call him ugly."

"He was like it's funny you called me ugly when you look like that." Chris tells the two, "And I only said he was ugly to get Dani to like me."

"He's delusional." Nick's eyes widen.

"I know." Chris agrees.

"I still get some from her as well." Matt speaks up.

"I don't know who has it worse. You get a loser and I get an asshole. Nick is lucky." Chris eats his apple.

"Take some." Matt tells Nick.

"Like you're Dani's best friend so why do we get all the messages?" Chris adds.

"Well for one he hates you and she likes you so..." Nick looks at the two.

"I'm not for violence but the way she talks about Dani..." Matt starts to get pissed a tad bit thinking about the messages.

"I've daydreamed about hitting his punk ass." Chris adds swinging his arms around.

"I do need to jump in because I can get them to shut up." Nick agrees, "They're insane."

"He stalks all of us online." Chris says before Matt changes the topic slightly.

"I wanna talk about Dani staying with us and how some people are reacting." Matt tells the two, "Like I know it's not everyone. It's the same people who have a problem with Madi. We're allowed to have close friends that are girls. People just-,"

"Like who are you?" Nick throws out there.

"Just get over it please." Matt adds, "Madi is like our sister and Dani is our new roommate we're getting close to. The two of them message each other so much which I love. I can see them becoming best friends as well. They already act like it."

"Madi said that too." Chris speaks up.

"Dani said talking to her is like talking to a sister she doesn't have."

"I just wanna tell people, Dani isn't leaving." Chris makes clear for viewers.

"We literally mad a closet by the front door into a room. We had people come in and work on the house to construct a whole room for her." Matt explains.

"Like the whole under part of the living room is a room now. The only sad part is she's gotta share a bathroom with Matt." Nick laughs.

"Yeah." Chris laughs as well.

"Hey, we created a whole system for our bathroom so shut up. At least ours will be the cleanest as well." Matt points his fingers at them.

Once they were done with the podcast they find Dani was no where to be seen in the house so they figure out she left for a bit. Which she did because she had to run to the store for girl stuff and things she just wanted.

"What did you bring home?" Nick watches Dani walk towards the bathroom.

"Stuff for myself."

"What kind of stuff?" Matt watches her take a seat on the toilet to put together a little storage for her stuff.

"Well, a place for my makeup, hair accessories, pain meds, and you know pads and tampons." She smiles at him.

"I was wondering when you would make a place for that kind of stuff." He continues to watch her, "Is it finally that time of month huh?"

"Obviously, Matt." She looks back at what she was doing, "So when I have my moments just leave me alone."

"When's the worst day?"

"Today because day two it's when I have the worst pains." She lets him know.

"Got it, don't push your buttons." He leaves her alone.

When she was finished they boys were doing whatever so Dani uses the living room tv to watch a show but soon Nick and Chris starts yelling playing around.

"Can y'all shut the hell up for one day?" She shouts pausing the tv to go to her room.

"What's her problem?" Chris asks Nick.

"Not a clue."

"She's on her period, guys." Matt walks out of his room.

"Oh, well best I stay out of her way till she's done with it." Chris goes to his room to play games.

"Sorry, Dani!" Nick shouts before going to watch tv on the couch.

Matt goes back to his room getting his keys leaving the house to get some food in hopes to cheer Dani up a bit. Take her mind off her cramps and emotions.

"Nick, where's Matt?" Dani asks after looking he wasn't in his room.

"Went somewhere. Why?"

"I just wanted to let him know I was gonna take a shower so if he comes back while I'm in there let him know." She says going to the bathroom.

"Yeah, okay." He waves his hand paying attention to the tv.

While Dani was in the shower, Nick rushes to his room to use the bathroom since he had to go. Sadly at that moment Matt decided to come home and he had to pee. As he walked towards the bathroom he heard the shower so he speed walks to Chris's room but he was using the bathroom as well.

"Dani, I gotta pee!" He knocks on the door before opening it shielding his eyes so he doesn't see her.

"Okay." She says not really caring.

"You're calm for me being in here."

"Well I trust you so but hurry up because I'm about done." She lets him know so he quickly goes pee.

"I brought you Taco Bell." He lets her know as he washes his hands.

"Just me?" 

"And me too." He laughs drying his hands.

"Can we watch a movie too?" She asks rising her hair.

"Mine or yours?" 

"Mine because the other two won't bug us and complain how you only got us food." She tells him turning off the shower.

"Smart thinking. I also got you a Dr Pepper so I'll be in your room." He leaves so she can get out.

Once she was done she joins Matt in her room jumping onto her bed ready to eat since she's been wanting their tacos, "What movie did you pick?" She asks since he had her remote in his hand.

"Shrek because that's what I'm in the mood for." He hands her the remote so he can get his food out of the bag.

"Be prepared for me to quote this movie." She gets her food out of her bag as well.

After eating they get comfy under the blankets and finish the movie then start the second one next. The plan was to binge watch all of the movies but they ended up failing since they both passed out during the third one.

Being the good friend Nick was he wanted to go check on her since she hadn't felt her room in hours. "Hey Da-," Nick opens the door gently to see the two fast asleep in bed. Matt was slightly sleeping on his stomach while Dani cuddled his back/side that was facing her. "You two worry me." Nick turns off the tv and lights leaving the room.

I'M PREGNANT. I am pregnant. There is a child growing in my body. I'm pregnant. I am pregnant. The more and more I repeat the words in my head the more and more I feel sick to my stomach.

Here I am, sitting on the bathroom floor of 35 Portland Row with a pregnancy test in my hand, feeling as if I may faint from the positive result. It makes sense, the more I think about the situation. Lockwood and I forgot to use protection nearly three weeks ago. 

But the big issue with this is, George and Lucy don't know we are dating. Well, we never told them. We never told anyone. For all I know, they could know, I am not sure how well we hide our pining. But they could think that we are still just crushing on each other like school kids. 

I heard a knock at the door and heard a familiar voice asking if I was alright. Normally I would be happy to see Lucy, but now that I am crying against the bathtub in our small ass bathroom while not being able to hide a pregnancy test, I am not so sure.

Before I get a second to respond Lucy comes barging into the bathroom. Most likely not caring if I was naked as it wouldn't be the first time as we had an oddly strong sisterly bond. But I could definitely tell she was not expecting to look down at me, she gave a questioning look before it turned into a shocked expression as she looked at what was in my hand.

"Lucy, please don't-"

"Come on, get up, we gotta go tell the boys," She cut me off, bending down to pick me off the floor.

"Lucy, I think we should just-"

"Nope," She cut me off again as I was now on my feet. "They are knowing, now."

Lucy drags me down to the kitchen where the two boys sat staring at papers laid out over the thinking cloth. They smiled at the sight of me and Lucy, well more Lockwood smiling at me before he looked towards Lucy.

"Good morning you two, how was your sleep? There is still some water in the kettle," Lockwood looked back down at the papers as he wrote on a small part of the thinking cloth.

"Go on, tell them," Lucy whispered to me, pushing me forward a bit. "You have to, so we can figure this all out together. You know I love you, but we are gonna need their help too."

"I can't not yet," I whispered. I wanted to tell Lockwood alone, so we could have our time to talk about this. It is his kid as well after all.

"Tell them."

"Lucy."

"y/n's pregnant." Lucy's voice was well over a whisper now as she spoke to the two boys.

"Fuck Lucy," I mumbled as I watched hell unfold in front of me.

Lockwood spit out his tea, definitely damaging some papers, Georges's eyes went wide as he looked up from his book for probably the first time in hours. They looked between me and the test that was still in my hand. I avoided their eyes, looking towards the ceiling, unhappy that this is how they found out.

"Whose the dad? I wasn't aware you were fucking anyone," George asked, he was blunt with it.

 "I don't know."

I felt terrible lying to them, but I am not sure how Lockwood would react if I told them without us discussing it first. I avoided his eyes even more, making sure they wouldn't suspect him.

"Um, congrats?" Lockwood said as if he was asking. "Do you want my help making a doctor's appointment?"

I nodded, knowing that would give us the alone time we needed. I waited until he was standing next to me to move out into the hall. Once I closed the door I dragged him up to his bedroom, he didn't fight me and rather tried to keep up with me as I ran.

Once we got to his room we tried to stay as quiet as possible as we disgusted the situation. We ended up deciding to keep the baby and that we were going to wait a bit longer to tell Lucy and George about our relationship, we also had a long conversation about me going on cases, as much as Lockwood didn't want me to, he decided that it was best I stay on cases for a few more months as we don't want anyone to know about the baby.

--- 

It has been two months since I found out I was pregnant, Lockwood and I kept our relationship a secret pretending that he would take me to the doctor's appointments because it made the most sense seeing as he was the best with people out of the four of us. 

Now, we are sitting in the Archives doing research for what Lockwood hopes to be the last case I am on, but we both know that won't be happening for at least another month. 

Lockwood's hand rests lightly on my knee as he sits next to me, he tries his best to keep it hidden. But just as I was getting used to the feeling of him rubbing my knee, he smirks at me and pulls away.

"Hey, y/n, I think I found something but I need to go check another newspaper, could you help me find it?" He asked, standing up as he put the one he was holding down.

I raised my eyebrow at him, confused as to what he was playing at, "Sure?"

"Great! Let's go," He started walking away to which I told Lucy and George we would be right back and followed him.

Once we were out of view I felt his hand link with mine, a wide smile on his face. I could only laugh as we walked through the shelves. 

"Do you really need help?" I asked as we walked down another empty aisle.

"No, I just wanted to spend some alone time with you," He grinned before stopping to plant a kiss on my cheek. "But I do really need to find that newspaper."

"Alright, where are we going?"

Lockwood led the way to another empty aisle filled with newspapers from the 1930s. He went to look at a certain section as I just watched him with awe, a hand placed on my stomach.

"Ah-ha found it!" he stood up, pulling out a newspaper.

"Good job, honey, now let's head back, yeah?" I gave him a quick kiss before turning to be met by Lucy and George wide-eyed.

I looked between Lucy and George before turning to Lockwood, as if asking him what to do or say. They looked in utter shock as they stared at us.

"We found what we were looking for," Lockwood tried to go on as normal as he handed George the newspaper.

"Wait? You two? Together? For how long? Is he the dad?" Lucy started questioning pointing her finger at us.

"Suprise?" I put my hands up and did jazz hands lightly. 

"What the fuck." George chimed in, he looked almost disgusted by the two of us but was probably just disgusted by the fact he knows we had sex in the house, and most likely with the two of them home.

"Look, we wanted to tell you..." I started trying to figure out an excuse to tell them.

"We are having a talk when we get home," Lucy pointed at me squinting her eyes as I laughed lightly at her, pushing my side into Lockwoods.

"Come on, we only have a couple more hours until the job and we still know nothing," George shooed us back to our seats so we could work.

The rest of the trip, Lockwood and I couldn't stop smiling and touching each other, happy that our secret was finally out. Though Lucy did scold me when we got home, complaining that she tells me everything and I kept a huge secret from her. But I guess that is what I get for not telling her that Lockwood and I were dating, even though I'M PREGNANT.

Sun in Taurus ♉️🌎 Moon in Gemini ♊️💨 and Cancer ♋️🌊

The Moon spends another entire day in social and chatty Gemini but does technically enter the emotional waters of Cancer just before midnight here on the east coast.

The Gemini Moon will sextile Mercury in Aries amplifying the social and talkative vibe. We’re in tune with other's feelings. It’s a good time for sensitive or sentimental conversations.

The Gemini Moon will also sextile Chiron in Aries so we’re tapped into our deepest emotions. Just be careful not to communicate from a wounded place. If there is a need, make sure its in expression to let it out and heal.

The Moon is also squaring Neptune in Pisces which can create confusion and emotional insecurity. Strange feelings or experiences may have you questioning reality. Delusion, deception and sensitivity are strong today. Be aware that this transit can also lower tolerance for drugs and alcohol. Not the best combo for a Friday night. Watch each other’s backs out there.

Luckily these moon transits don’t last more than a day but they may set the tone for the Sun and Uranus conjunction beginning to form today. This can bring excitement and unexpected change over the next week. Desires for freedom, rebellion, restless or nervous tension can arise. Greater self-awareness, psychic perceptions, flexibility and open-mindedness are also possible. The bottom line here is, be aware of any impulsive behavior.

It’s a good day for intimate conversations. Just try to be self-aware and not get too overly emotional. If you get the, “we need to talk” from someone, do your best to stay grounded and hear them out completely before reacting. Stay focused on what’s best for you.

I just got an ask that I deleted, because quite honestly, I don't feel like giving it any attention.

With that being said, it is not my job to police how people react on new episode days. Quite frankly, I don't care how people react on Tuesday's.

We have a varied fandom with many different people. Some of us want all the behind the scenes pictures and interviews and promos.

Some of us want nothing to do with it and choose to stay away and go in blind.

Some of us love to theorize and speculate and think of what's going to happen and get each other's opinions. We send each others asks, and we spiral, and we have discussions.

Some of us are much more analytical and will come on in the days after an episode and give a detailed analysis that's incredibly poignant and meaningful.

There is nothing wrong with either style! With a fandom as big as ours, you're going to get many different personalities and styles and ways of being in fandom.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

CURRATE👏🏻YOUR👏🏻EXPERIENCE👏🏻ON👏🏻TUMBLR

Or, DM a friend and commiserate on here about whatever style bothers you and treat it as a bonding experience.

At the end of the day, you get to choose what your experience is like. Me personally, I like for Tuesday's (and every other day) to be a positive day where I can interact with my friends, throw some asks around and open discussions.

To wrap up, it's a big episode tonight, and people have big feelings. I don't see any takes on my page that bother me. If you do, that's on you to better curate your page and find your people.

[am-i-the-asshole-official]

WIBTA if I blocked/ghosted this guy I can't quit?

so I've(nb25) known this guy(m29) about 8 months, but we haven't seen each other that many times. maybe 10 total. It's just a friends with benefits situation but he's very generous, he's splurged on hotels in the city for us we didn't really need, expensive meals, he's also just given me pocket money straight up before. He will kind of do whatever I want, all I have to do is mention it and he will make it happen. i mention I wanna see the ocean at 9pm and he's driving us around to find a beach that's open. i mention a food im craving and he's already ordering it, etc. he's not rich either, he lives with his parents(I think it's more for cultural reasons than financial) but his job pays pretty well I guess. he talks about the money and I think he's trying to impress me but I know so little about money and still rely on my parents I don't even really have the context. he's constantly trying to impress me with stuff like that or how much he can bench press and i find it super off-putting and don't respond to it. He's been nothing but nice to me I think, but I think he's got issues and he can't really open up emotionally. I am very suspicious of how "nice" he is and I find his positivity to be really invalidating sometimes.

Recently I got mad at him for an insensitive comment, and while I was chewing him out he just smiled at me and kept saying "I like you". It really irked me and I felt like he wasn't taking me seriously, even after asking him why he was reacting that way he just elaborated saying he liked me because I stick up for myself ? I was upset so I kicked him out of my place, it was the middle of the night. He left with a smile on his face still. it creeped me out and I almost felt like he was gonna come back and kill me while I was home alone.

I know that I'm not into him. not just that but I actively think he's annoying, and his toxic positivity thing really gets on my nerves. Ive explained that to him and he still wants to hang out. every time were together, our dynamic gets worse. im not mean to him, but I don't hold back when I think he's making something up to sound cool/nice or being fake. he says he likes my honesty and often puts me on a pedestal for it, and im constantly having to take myself off the pedestal bc im just a human being, capable of lying and inauthenticity.

He knows I don't want a relationship and I don't think that's what he wants either? hes never asked. i know he's dating and looking for someone though. I don't even really know what he meant when he said he liked me.

Every time I see him, I end up feeling like I don't wanna see him again. I find him really annoying and end up feeling really alone with him. ive tried to break it off before which he respected but would still DM me on insta occasionally, and it's bad but eventually I just went back to him bc I liked the way he was nice to me and spent money on me. it's really pathetic but it makes me feel worthwhile? but I want to stop seeing him. and im thinking, he doesn't have my phone number and I could just block him on Instagram then Id be done with it. I think we're bad for each other and that I probably frustrate him more than he shows, I think he tried to make me jealous recently by talking about some "beautiful blonde girl" he slept with, who didn't have a "good heart" like me or something. it felt weird and negg-y. overall just really weird, bad vibes. Would I be the asshole if I just blocked him ? i have a feeling that the only other way this will stop for us is with something worse than that.

What are these acronyms?

[transpanda-1]

sending this ask on anon bc i'm too nervous to be seen,,

i think i might be plural, but any time i try to fond the others they disappear. sometimes i feel like i can hear them, but then when i try to listen or understand, they go away

i dont have anyone else to talk to about this, im so confused..

🧵Well there's a number of different ways to go about this, but one element we do think is very important is for you to be in a pro plurality environment?

The reason we bring it up is that it is honestly hard to figure out your plurality on your "lonesome". Plurality is a condition that's trying to hide itself from everyone, including yourself. And your mind (if it is plural) has probably been hardwired to see yourself as a singlet by default.

It may seem that we're quite good at communication between alters, but that was an inevitable result of doing this over time. At the beginning, we actually were like that where it felt like we couldn't talk to each other, couldn't co-front, could only exist one at a time at best. It took a couple of years of continuous casual deprogramming to make the barriers easier and easier to get across.

So, where do you go from there?

As it turns out, having someone help you is a REALLY good way to help make breakthroughs. If you're not aware, we have a test we call the "Thank you for existing" test. It sounds like you're having difficulty identifying alters? If you think you might know any of their *names*, though, try to get someone to say "Thank you for existing, blank" to you.

Note your reaction to that phrase. Did your body almost seem to physically react? Or something stirred within you like a full body shake or shudder? That's usually happened with systems helped, because an alter is finally being acknowledged by purely themselves.

But there's other things that are important to know that might help you, like: 1. The estimated population of systems in the world are 1~1.5%, which is around where trans or redheads are. And that seems to be just DID. 2. You don't really need trauma to be plural, but you also don't need outright PTSD to form plurality, C-PTSD, or trauma more over a long period of time, can also contribute to traumagenic systems 3. Many systems find themselves drawn to characters or media featuring them, even without knowing. If you happen to be trans, try thinking of your own tendencies and what you attach to, it may help! 4. Read stories written by actual systems! Unfortunately it's a bit hard to see more official stories, so we tend to recommend plurality stories on ao3 (though see more original works on scribblehub lately). If you want a halfway decent substitute, we find Uendo Toneido from ace attorney good, and just found out about Gemini Sunrise from Sakura Wars.

And if you ever wish to look into more or just simply to have an environment where it's safe to do so: Our DM's are always open and we're very private about people who wish to figure out their own potential plurality. Don't hesitate if you think you need the help!

Thank you for this ask and thank you for existing - Smoothie

Hi Opulent Members!

We have received thoughtful feedback, suggestions, and concerns through our survey and our DMs. As one of the steps we are taking to address these concerns, we want to highlight what the core values of this roleplay are, first and foremost:

A safe and inclusive roleplay space that prioritizes rich, political plots and member input on plot direction above all else. While some groups tend to be more plotless, and built around connections, we created this group with a desire for deep plotting around themes of political unrest, civil disagreements, and the complexity of power. Moving forward, we really want to honor this value, and keep a strong focus on connections rooted in these themes. To our members, we really encourage you all to take it upon yourselves to create and pursue plotting outside of romantic connections, to really grow the environment of the group. A roleplay that celebrates diversity & culture through its structure (with kingdoms, city states, muses) as well as its overarching plots. As a historically divergent group, we wanted to focus on showcasing the stories that should have been reality in a better, more fair world. Moving forward, we will be evaluating our fc guidelines to ensure that we have a variety of cultural backgrounds. To our members, we encourage you to first consider the cultural impact of your muses, and aim for a range of variety throughout your characters. We want to avoid a future where trends emerge that tend to favor less diversity, and we will take action against this. Please take this time to review your muses, and consider if you are being as diverse as you could be. Relaxed activity guidelines, taking into account people's personal commitments and muses. Moving forward, we want to maintain this lax attitude towards our activity, but we will be a closer look at the length of hiatuses back-to-back, and may need to adjust our hiatus rule moving forward to ensure everyone is able to participate with all of their characters at a level that does not hinder the group. To our members, we encourage you to be realistic when considering new muses, and ensure your activity can be maintained throughout. A group that offers something for everyone's interest - from dramatic political plots, to familial and romantic trifles.

This group cannot and does not exist without everyone's energy and enthusiasm. We have been so grateful to all of you for what you have brought to this group. We are proud of the richness of plots, the unique muses, and the thoughtfulness to each other that we have seen so far. However, we always want to think and act on how to uphold these values! Both as an admin team, as well as a whole roleplay group. As we move into the next few, exciting plot drops; we ask everyone to consider our core values and make sure we are acting in line with them. This includes: celebrating all plots and dynamics, approaching city state creation with thoughtfulness and openness to collaboration, and keeping us in the loop of how we can do better.

Over the next few days, the admin team will take away the feedback we received and take action what we can to make this an enjoyable place for all. Please be prepared for some slight changes to our guidelines moving forward to reflect our dedication to these core values for the group! We will not be holding acceptances Friday the 12th. With a plot drop releasing that day and the admin team taking on some additional tasks related with this announcement, we feel it is best to take the time to ensure that the needs of our group are met before introducing new characters. Thank you for your understanding and patience!

Please react to this post when you have read it!

It has been one year since the Promised Day. Things seem to have calmed down in Amestris under the leadership of Roy Mustang, the youngest Fuhrer in the history of the country. But within the past few weeks, there have been reports of strange chimera-like creatures popping up around the country, killing innocents and wreaking havoc. However, unlike the chimeras that have been known in the past, they seem to be a mixture of organic and inorganic matter. Killing them is a painstaking process taken on by the military. Where are they coming from, and who, if anyone, is creating them?

[the-bjd-community-confess]

This happened over a year ago but it still haunts me to this day and I decided to share it here. I used to be friends with someone in the bjd community and we both had collections where we "shipped" our dolls with each other. Y'know, harmless stuff. But she got so intensely attached to these couples that it would be all she talked about in every conversation. To the point where she would ask me to change things about my own doll to match hers better. It was weird and I was always worrying how she would react when I declined to alter my doll for her.

As it happens to a lot of us, I ran across some emergencies that required funds I didn't have at the time. I chose to sell some of my dolls, two of which had been dolls that were "paired" with this person's dolls. When she saw the sales post she completely lost it and blew up my dms while I was in class and couldn't respond to her. She was pissed. I can't even remember how many she sent but you had to scroll for a long time to read all of it. I tried to explain my emergency that required funds but she wasn't having it. She eventually began insulting me and calling me all sorts of names, selfish being one of them. She posted stories about me via vagues saying I was a terrible person who doesn't care about the mental health of my friends and that's when I knew I had to cut her off. She continued this for days. I called her out and blocked her, where she tried to contact me further using a separate account. My dolls sold and I was able to pay off my debt. A couple months later after I had finally managed to save up some fun money I was also able to buy a new doll that was the same sculpt of one that I sold and I recreated my character. I didn't let my ex friend taint my memory of him and all the time I spent developing his personality and character. I haven't heard from ex friend since I blocked both her accounts and I hope I never have to again.

She's also called me homophobic for saying I don't like long hair on my male dolls but that's a can for a different day.

🕊 hey, 21F adv.lit–novella discord writer here who is looking to reignite her love for collaborative writing by engaging in a dark romance rp full of intense drama, sizzling emotions, and electrifying chemistry. i'm a little out of practice, but i can write multiple discord messages worth of content, hitting up to 2–6+ messages as an experienced novella writer. though, i'm also university student with a job, so i do reply at a relaxed pace (once or twice per week-ish), but i'm decently quick with OOC and employ a very lax reply policy for my partners (meaning you can do you with no worries). i will happily engage in lots of headcanoning, sharing aesthetics, tiktoks, ideas, and planning for rps, and i love to get that same enthusiasm in return !! don't be dry, contribute, and we'll get on well !! i can send pages of headcanons, and i will screech over our ocs, so let's fangirl together !!

an added note is that complex, imperfect, twisted, and flawed ocs are my bread and butter, and darker/villainous characters will always have my heart. so this is a love letter to all of y'all with a preference for writing well-developed, fucked-up ocs, your darlings have a safe haven with me. seriously, all my girlies are very far from cliche, and they're often decently messed-up, so i love it when i feel love&worry for your ocs cuz that's how you'll feel about my crazy darlings. i'm fine with dead-dove & darker themes (my only hard no is big age-gaps, ED's and incest, all other dark themes are welcome), other specifics like limits/kinks/rules can be discussed in dms.

idea-wise, i recently created twin sister ocs with a very interesting backstory, tons of darkness, and a codependent enmity. i'd love to write them within something akin to a mumu-esque rp– as in, writing two storylines within a shared timeframe/plot, two romances that are entwined, four characters that will overlap into each others lives and become tightly knit as either a 'found family' or 'clashing enemies'. so, it's like this: characters a/b and c/d may be our romantic pairings, but a/c are sister's with a complex set of issues to work through while b/d could be brother's, friends, rivals, etc (i'll leave that up to you, but i'd love if your two ocs also have a history) and we can have moments where their plotlines overlap where a/d might have a friendship moment, b/c may have a enmity storyline, while still writing a/b and c/d as main pairings.

note: a little cliche, but as of now, i am someone who prefers playing F roles within the MxF pairing, and also prefers to write with other F/nb writers (mdni).

themes i'm interested in: old money with criminal entanglements, different flavours of fucked-up characters, morally-questionable actions, rich kids gone wild, dark academia in university/high society, possessive/obsessiveness, blackmail, stalking, power imbalances, old money vs new money, music/art scene (kpop vibes, rock scene, industry harshness, scandals) contrasted with corporate/business. my ocs will be east asian so kdrama/cdrama vibes are also welcome. dark romance is a must.

react if interested, and i'll get back to you asap.
