Home Projects for the Holidays: How E & T Maintenance Can Help

The holiday season is a time for celebration, family gatherings, and, of course, sprucing up your home to make it festive and inviting. Whether you're planning to host a holiday party, want to create a cozy space for your loved ones, or simply need a fresh look for the new year, home improvement projects are a great way to get into the spirit. Here’s how you can enhance your home for the holidays and how E & T Maintenance can assist you with all your home projects.

1. Spruce Up Your Entryway

Your entryway is the first thing guests see when they arrive at your home, so it’s important to make a great first impression. Consider adding a fresh coat of paint to the front door, installing new outdoor lighting, or decorating with seasonal wreaths and garlands. E & T Maintenance can help with painting, lighting installation, and any other updates you might need to make your entryway welcoming and festive.

2. Revamp Your Living Room

The living room is the heart of holiday gatherings. Enhance the space with some DIY projects such as creating a new mantel display, installing custom shelving, or updating your furniture. If you’re looking for a more extensive overhaul, E & T Maintenance can assist with everything from painting and flooring to custom carpentry and furniture assembly.

3. Upgrade Your Kitchen

The kitchen is often the hub of holiday activity, so why not give it a little extra attention? Simple updates like installing a new backsplash, updating cabinet hardware, or adding new lighting can make a big difference. For more involved projects, such as a full kitchen remodel or appliance installation, E & T Maintenance is your go-to expert for high-quality workmanship and efficient service.

4. Create a Cozy Guest Room

With friends and family visiting during the holidays, a comfortable guest room is essential. Consider adding new bedding, installing built-in storage, or painting the walls for a fresh look. E & T Maintenance can help with carpentry, painting, and other home improvement tasks to ensure your guest room is both functional and inviting.

5. Brighten Up Your Holiday Decor

Seasonal decorations can transform your home, but they can also require a bit of setup and maintenance. From hanging lights to setting up a festive display, E & T Maintenance can assist with installing and maintaining holiday decorations, so you can focus on enjoying the season.

 "Oxford: A Year Abroad”

Paring: Felix Catton x reader 

Warning: 18+, nsfw, alcohol MDNI

Word count: 1622 

01|02|03|04|05|?

Y/N was enrolled at Oxford as an exchange student, specializing in economics. Securing a solo dorm since her roommate was a no-show, the room radiated old-money featuring two beds on either side, accompanied by a desk and a drawer. Opting for a rearrangement, she transformed the space by fashioning a king-size bed on one side and situating the desk and drawer on the opposite side, creating an illusion of more space. Following the successful room makeover, Y/N took a swift shower to freshen herself up to make a favorable first impression.

Y/N proceeded to the hall where all the international students were set to gather for campus information. The tour guide, Venetia, with bleached blonde hair in braids, began by extending a warm welcome to the international students and then led the group towards the library. The library exuded a cozy atmosphere, and Y/N noticed a guy sitting on a couch with some mates, engrossed in studies. He quickly glanced Y/N up and down before Venetia remarked, 

"Hi Felix, nice to see you studying for once."

Felix chuckled in response, saying,

"Nice to see you sober for once."

With that, Venetia briskly continued the tour, urging everyone to follow, casually dismissing the encounter. The reminding part of the tour was rather uneventful, and Y/N returned to her room after its conclusion. On her way back, she encountered Felix again, this time standing in a door frame engaged in conversation with a girl. It was evident that he towered over Y/N by at least a head, if not more. He appeared unfazed and his hair was roughed up but looking perfect. Realizing she was accidentally staring, she looked away, hoping he hadn't noticed, and continued walking back to her dorm.

Upon entering her dorm, Y/N glimpsed into the mirror and noticed a flush on her cheeks from the encounter. Felix, tall and quite attractive, struck her as unlike anyone she'd ever encountered. The remainder of the evening was dedicated to packing up the remaining items and dressing the bed in light pink covers. Y/N then changed into her pajamas, gearing up for the upcoming first week of lectures.

At the end of a full week of classes, Friday arrived, and all Y/N desired was to join her new classmates for a night of drinks. Rumors circulated about a party hosted by someone named Farleigh, to which one of her friends had secured an invite. Seeking some excitement for the night, Y/N opted for a more daring outfit, wearing a linen blouse with a plunging neckline, a lace bra, a short denim skirt barely concealing her ass, and a stylish yet steady pair of pink heels. Before heading to the party with her friends, she took two shots of vodka to calm her nerves.

As the cab arrived at the party, Y/N's friend, who got the invite, led the way to the gate and buzzed for entry. The gates opened without any verbal exchange. Upon entering the house, they discovered a bustling scene with people scattered all around and a makeshift bar. The group then separated, each exploring the lively gathering. Y/N approached the bar, scanning the surroundings to determine if it operated on a self-service basis or if there was a bartender. A guy emerged from what appeared to be a cupboard, holding a bottle of champagne in one hand and wine in the other. Y/N approached the guy, asking him where she could get a drink. He smiled and replied,"Hello, I'm Farleigh. Feel free to help yourself to anything, sexy.”

Glancing at Y/N from head to toe, he suggested, "How about kicking off the night with a glass of white?”

Pouring a wine glass nearly to the brim, she gazed at the filled glass, smiled, and remarked, "That would be lovely Farleigh. My name is Y/N.”

Farleigh smirked and headed off to attend to his other guests.

After wandering around the house for a bit and finishing her wine, Y/N spotted the pool in the backyard where people were engaged in drinking games. A group playing beer pong caught her eye, and after observing a round, she went back inside to grab a fresh drink to join in. Upon her return, they were organizing players, and Y/N approached the table. On the opposing side stood Felix with Farleigh, and a seemingly random girl joined Y/N's side. Yet, it wasn't just any girl; it was Venetia, the one who led the tour. As the game kicked off, a crowd gathered to watch. The guys scored on their first throw, and Venetia took the initial drink. The game was evenly matched, with the guys having two cups left and Y/N and Venetia with one. Felix kissed the ball and scored directly into the cup. Y/N smirked at Felix before downing the cup filled with warm beer. Not a fan of the taste, she quickly sipped the cider she had obtained earlier. Venetia took Y/N by the hand, leading her to the poolside where a fireplace was situated. Felix and Farleigh had just arrived, and others were playing truth or dare. Venetia asked, "Mind if we join your little game?" as she sat down, pulling Y/N with her.

The game started off quite mild, but with each question, it escalated into more risqué territory. When Venetia declined to answer a question, Farleigh revealed a hidden bottle of tequila from a bag behind him, declaring, "Every time someone doesn't answer, they have to take a swig from this tequila.”

Venetia took the bottle, downed two swigs, grinned, and handed it to Y/N, saying, "Y/N, I dare you to knock back two shots or spill the beans on who on this lot you fancy for a cheeky quickie.”

Y/N glanced at Felix, then gulped down the tequila, going beyond the two shots and placing the bottle back. Felix stared at Y/N with a grin, seemingly formulating a plan, which he whispered to Farleigh.

When it was Farleigh's turn, he gazed at Felix, nodded, and remarked, " Y/N I dare you to take a lounge into the pool or tell us what position you want Felix fuck you in.”.

Felix glared at Farleigh and remarked, "You didn't have to be that aggressive.”

Y/N started to blush as all eyes were on her, awaiting her response. Having already consumed a bit too much tequila, taking a leap into the pool didn't seem like a terrible idea. Y/N rose from her seat and walked towards the pool's edge. Before taking the plunge, she removed her denim skirt to prevent it from getting soaked, revealing her pink string and someone whistled as she was bending down to take off her heels. Pinching her nose, Y/N leapt into the pool, tossing her shirt aside. As she hit the water, the chill had a sobering effect, and she realized the extent of what she had just done. She had exposed herself in only underwear to everyone around the pool. Feeling a tad embarrassed, Y/N climbed out of the pool and hastily dressed herself again, still soaked in water the blouse quickly became transparent and skirt denim darkened in color as if she had jumped into the pool with them on. She returned to the fire to warm up, taking a shot of tequila to help erase the recent events from her mind. This time, she chose to sit beside Felix who was staring at her chest that was now fully exposed with only her transparent blouse and the lace bra she was wearing under it. Y/N looked at Felix and realized that there was a big bulge in his pants, for the bulge to be that big he had to have a big package Y/N thought and then looked up and met Felix face that was covered in a big grin because he noticed how long she looking at his bulge. He put his hand on Y/N's inner thigh asking "Feeling a bit chilly? Wanna head inside?”

He looked down at Y/N breasts again and her nipples which nearly pierced through her shirt. Y/N nodded, and Felix fetched a blanket, draping it around her. He extended his hand, gesturing for her to take it. Leading Y/N into the house, Felix guided her up the stairs and into a room. It appeared to be someone's bedroom—quite lavish, with a bed that looked incredibly inviting. He whispered, "May I assist you in taking off your blouse? I reckon it won't be of much help in keeping you warm.”

Y/N nodded again to flustered to speak, Felix began taking off the wet blouse and kissing the neck once the shirt was off. “ Take your skirt off” he whispered whilst kissing her ear. She began taking off her skirt that was now very tight due to it being wet. Felix noticed how much she was struggling and ripped them off. As he did Y/N let out a small moan and he chuckled. “ As much as I would love to fuck you sweetie, you're to drunk and need to sleep but I can join you if you want”.

Felix tucked Y/N into bed, and she promptly drifted off to sleep. He planted a kiss on her forehead, undressed, and hopped into the bed beside her.

Here's something I stumbled on, and I'd never heard of creating a "Content House" or "Maximal Victorian Meets Retro." Here are before and after's of a client's home designed by Danielle Nagel.

Isn't this cheerful? I love the mix of thrifted pieces.

Look at the fireplace, now. I like how she put a mantel over it.

This is so clever. It doesn't look like the same house, yet no reno was done- it's just paint, wallpaper, and decor.

The kitchen's makeover.

Some of the details.

I like how she incorporated green into the shades of blue & gray.

I'm almost sure that she had the stove painted. Well, maybe it'll last b/c they didn't do the cook top. My cousin had it done and the top chipped.

Here's a great example of turning a plain, featureless, boring box of a room into a room with character and architectural interest. Plus, color, texture, and pattern.

And, look at what this tiny lackluster room became. I never thought of taking, like, IKEA bookcases and painting them different colors.

Lovely guest room. This is so pretty.

A small bedroom becomes a dressing room.

Very retro rec room.

This has to be the grooviest fireplace I've ever seen.

Could you please do feral and/or good girl going through a depressive episode?

Haven't been feeling well and wanna be seen :<

Aww sharkie I’m sorry about that. It’s that time of year, unfortunately. I think I’ve done feral with a depressive episode before (at least in part) so we’ll do Good Girl this time.

Price knows almost instantly that something’s up. You’ve been moving a little slow recently, a little listless. He has to remind you to do your chores, but it’s not like you’re being fussy or reluctant. You just… seem to be struggling with getting up the energy to do anything.

You eat when he tells you to, but you haven’t been finishing your plates. You’ve been leaning into him extra hard during snuggle times. Sleeping most of the day and seem to struggle to sleep at night. And you haven’t been interested in doing more than watching tv or playing games on your (heavily modified) phone.

It’s getting into the winter months, even going outside for some sunshine is getting difficult, especially with his schedule.

He decides to decorate the house early for the holiday. And that the guest room needs a makeover. And oh, you know what, it’s time for vitamin d supplements and this interesting new lamp he just bought that happens to mimic sunlight. It’s for the plants, he assures when you squint at him, but he scoots you suspiciously close to it during your new mandatory hour of outside/porch time.

And, slowly, you start to feel a bit like your old self.

The way that Lili is fast becoming one of my favourite characters is delighting me because like. fuck yeah she is so character when you think about it. She’s basically a skeleton held together with goo and a love of drama. She was the victim before she was ever the villain. She wears the cool and pretty face to meet guests and dresses like a greek goddess. Her alias is “the crone” so naturally people (people being Kit; Airk nabbed the Tanthalos twin brain cell) hear that and go “pfft an old lady I could take her” and get clapped with “yeah no she’ll fuck your shit up she’s the most dangerous refuses to die motherfucker of this era we just picked the lamest sounding name don’t let that fool you tho”. She was a princess and her rescue went mad and murdered each other. She lures people in with the promise of being the third Harbinger this month (don’t worry bro it’ll stick this time we’re like 80% sure. 60% sure. maybe 45%. look the last few didn’t do so hot don’t worry about it embrace your power you’ll be amazingly evil) and the offer of death by intense dehydration or wyrm’s milk (oh my god why do they gotta describe it like that I’m with Kit on this one. bleh). Tries to seduce the prince the normal way and he just so happens to have the singular Tanthalos twin braincell right now sees through her to go “wait you’re evil aren’t you” and she’s just like “. . . yeh”. She presumably has a whole evil hobby makeover room somewhere fully stocked with freshly turned bad guy outfits and unsexy haircuts. Her boss is a worm. Gets dead via getting her chest blasted open at the hands of the Chosen one who believes in the power of love. Gets the line “he’s eternal, bitch”. What more do you want

Charlastor Prompt

Plot I Hope Someone Will Write (Since my fanfic days are over due to me focusing on finishing and publishing a novel and due to not liking the formatting system for AO3): So there have been fake dating, fake marriage tropes...what about a fake soul contract?

Charlie disguises herself as a sinner to better understand her people, and as a way to come up with ways to help rehabilitate people with her hotel aspirations. In this fic, Charlie is already friends with Angel and Cherry. Cherry gives her a makeover to help disguise her as a sinner (she doesn't get out much so ppl fail to recognize her)

Angel informs her of a special event where sinners perform at a club in the hopes of getting picked for a potential soul contract (ones that guarantee protection, a home and food). Believing that being under a fake contract will help better understand the POV of a sinner, Charlie sings on stage at this event.

Vox gives her his business card after the show, telling her to consider his offer. Alastor sends her flowers and shows up in her dressing room. He proposes a contract with her, saying he knows she's the princess (saw her on the last extermination date tending to the wounded).

Alastor says he would love to have his own personal songstress, and that he'll agree to keep Charlie's identity a secret so long as she enters a contract with him. Charlie panics when she sees she's been discovered, and quickly tells him about her plans on a hotel to rehabilitate sinners and using her disguise to help understand sinners better in order to help them acend to heaven. She explains that entering a real soul contract would be impossible for her, and begs him not to tell anyone the truth about her.

Alastor proceeds to tell her that while the idea is ridiculous, that it gave him another idea. A fake soul contract for six months where he will agree to help her with her hotel dream, but only if she manages to get at least 3 hotel guests (not including niffty or husk as he will provide them for Charlie later), at least 3 sponsors and her father's approval for the hotel. But if she fails to meet Alastor's conditions, she will enter a real soul contract with him and be bound to him forever.

Little Duck's Tea Party (Little Duck AU🐥💛)

Pairing: Dad! Chris Evans x Arlie Mae (Little Duck)

Summary: Little Duck is having her weekly tea party, and this week’s special guest is her dad, I wonder what costume and makeover he’ll be getting today? 

Warnings: none, just very fluffy and sweet girl dad Chris, he and Arlie are just my favourites

A/N: Here is the first fic of the day, this idea was I think a suggestion by an anon and I really fell in love with it, so I wanted to write a little something, I hope you enjoy it, thank you for all the love on this page recently, I appreciate you guys so much

Word Count: 756

Arlie was hard at work setting up her special tea table, laying out plates, cutlery mugs, she was pulling out the whole nine yards because today, her daddy would be the special guest at Arlie’s Tea House. To be completely honest neither you nor Chris could figure out where she thought of the name, but it was the cutest little concept she’d come up with recently. Her playroom was now set up, the table looking very beautiful with little flowers and sparkles intertwined between the utensils and plates. Arlie made sure to add Duckie to a seat as well as her stuffed brown bear named boobear, yes, she named him boobear, when she deemed the space perfect enough, she yelled down to Chris

“Daddy!!!! Come to tea party!!!”

Chris chuckled at the urgency in Arlie’s tone, kissing your forehead and making his way up the stairs to her party 

“I’m coming up little duck!”

Arlie giggled and as he reached the top of the stairs her head poked out behind the door 

“Hi daddy!”

“Hi baby, you all ready for our party?”

She nodded, smiling her famous megawatt smile 

“I am, but you not ‘weady yet!”

He crouched down to her level and swiped a piece of hair out of her eyes 

“Oh, I’m not?”

Chris could notice she was holding something behind her back, and he had an inkling of what it could be 

“No daddy, you need to put on special hat and makeup silly!”

Never in his years of living did he ever think he would find himself staring at what everyone, his wife included says is a carbon copy of him, his baby girl, in all her excitement as she waited for her favourite man in the world to let her dress him up. He would move mountains for Arlie, and if that included a makeover from the toddler, then he’d be dammed if he ever said no

“Alright then duck, help me get all ready for tea!”

Arlie pulled him further into the room, making him sit in a chair far too small for him, but he wouldn’t complain, especially if it was Arlie putting him in it. They spent some time laughing together as she mixed blues, purples, and pinks from her kiddie eyeshadow palette, using a small brush to put it on his eyes. Chris made sure to stay extra still so she wouldn’t mess up, a smile creeping up when he noticed her tongue poking out of her mouth as she concentrated on the colour of blush she was going to use. Her little eyebrows furrowing together in thought as every step and product of makeup was applied to Chris’s face

“Okay daddy, just lips then done!”

Chris chuckled before pouting gently so she could apply what he saw was a cherry red lipstick, yeah…cherry red

“Wow Daddy!! You so pwetty now!!”

“Was I not pretty before duck?”

Arlie shook her head no and he laughed, watching as she put the makeup away neatly, turning and clasping her hands together 

“Sit down fo’ tea now pwease daddy!”

Chris found his spot and Arlie got to work, setting out snacks, plastic of course, and filling their cups with water, there was absolutely nothing but joy radiating from his baby girl, and it was one of Chris’s favourite sights. They two of them were partners and crime, and when you snuck upstairs to check on them your heart warmed watching the two playing with Duck and Boobear, a slight chuckle slipping out noticing Chris’s amazing makeup job. When you snapped a quick photo both of their faces turned to you and Arlie waved

“Hi momma!!”

“Hi my love, look at how beautiful you made daddy!”

Chris narrowed his eyes playfully at you, a wink being sent back in his direction 

“Daddy so pwetty now, you want some tea momma?”

After pretending to think about you agreed, taking your spot next to Chris, Arlie pouring some water in your mug

“Arlie does momma get her makeup done too?”

You smiled getting yourself ready for all her makeup and artistic talent when she laughed 

“Daddy you so silly! Momma alweady’ pwetty without it!” 

You couldn’t hold in the laugh that escaped as you leaned over to kiss Chris on the cheek, his eyes rolling slightly before he joined you in laughing. If there was anything about your little duck, is that she was not afraid of honesty, she’d tell you the truth no matter what, and clearly, she wasn’t shy about it.

[simnationlifebefore]

After the weird bug reset the Goth Sr lot to it's original state, here are 4 rooms I've redecorated.

So my desire to be lazy and never take pictures of lots before I start taking story pictures has pros and cons.

Cons: I have to try and redecorate based on the pictures in my story with little to no information. Pro: Rooms, or parts of rooms that haven't been used yet can be anything.

-So one of the rooms upstairs is now like a mini apartment next to the guest bedroom, a room just for cats did not work for me. -The downstairs living room is almost identical to how it's seen in the story, with the addition that the birdcage is now in the spot we never see.

-The secret magic room is only really seen from a closeup, so other than the lights and table I had free room here.

-The greenhouse has had a tiny makeover, because everything was previously dying post funeral, it's now much more alive.

Weird side note: Turns out I forgot to change some of the doors to match the look in the Dreamer story so my main response is a big shrug because I'm the only person who will care about it.

[devildom-moss]

I was sitting in a car with my friend today and i showed her a picture of Barbatos amd called him Barbie. She reacted by asking if he wore a pink dress or something along the lines of that (its already starting to slip from my mind) and i remembered your requests are open,

So.

May i request Barbie meeting Barbie and Barbie making Barbie dress up as Barbie?

Thanks.

Not me suppressing a laugh at that username. That's great. I got you, and I hope you like this. Thank you for the request! And please don't think too hard about how I threw Barbie into the Devildom.

Barbatos Meeting Barbie

(SFW) (hints of Barbatos x gn!MC) (mild Solomon slander)

Word Count: +1,700

“My Lord,” Barbatos interrupted Diavolo’s attempt to work, “we seem to have an issue at hand.”

Diavolo couldn’t even be bothered to mask his delight at the distraction. “An issue?”

“Potentially. It’s easier to show you. Please come with me to the foyer to greet our unwelcomed guest.”

Diavolo followed close on Barbatos’s heels with growing anticipation. A guest might be nice – even if they weren’t invited. Anything short of an assassination attempt would be a welcomed reprieve.

When they returned to the foyer, Barbie was standing with her arms crossed in the middle of the room. Barbatos had preemptively stuck her feet – in her six-inch, bright pink heels – to the floor with magic. With all her bright clothing, Barbatos figured it was better to assume she was some sort of threat – perhaps poisonous. Barbie’s annoyance was growing.

“That’s a lot of pink, ma’am,” Diavolo remarked. He assessed her from afar. She didn’t seem to pose any magical threat to him. Something about her style reminded him vaguely of Asmo – a bold, feminine energy, and maybe something else that he couldn’t place.

“Can one of you help me? My name is Barbie.”

“Oh, that’s a lot like your name,” Diavolo whispered to Barbatos with a grin.

“As I tried to explain before I was rudely trapped,” she continued, “Solomon sent me here to give his friend, also named Barbie, a makeover.”

Diavolo couldn’t contain his laughter. She must be under the impression that Barbatos was also named “Barbie.” His shoulders shook. Annoyed, Barbatos flicked the back of Diavolo’s calf with his tail, which only amused Diavolo further. However, the glare from Barbatos’s eyes that undermined the gentle smile on his face terrified Diavolo. He stilled himself and responded to a very confused Barbie. “Pardon me. I didn’t expect that to be your reason for coming.”

“I tried to tell that one earlier.” She motioned towards Barbatos.

“My apologies,” he spoke more towards Diavolo than he did to the woman he trapped, “but when the name ‘Solomon’ left her lips, I stopped listening.”

“Understood,” Diavolo and Barbie responded at the same time, shocking everyone in the room.

Barbatos, determined to expedite the end of this interaction, pulled out his D.D.D. and called the source of his annoyance. Every ring deepened his anger.

Three depths later, Solomon picked up. “Hey, Barbatos. Did my friend arrive at the castle yet?”

“So, you did send her?” Barbatos sighed.

“Of course. Didn’t she say as much?”

“Why?”

“To give you a makeover.” Barbatos waited for Solomon’s explanation to continue, but it didn’t. Solomon was playing dumb, and Barbatos knew that.

“Can I decline?”

“You could, but she can’t leave until she completes her task. It was part of my deal.”

“You are pestilence, and it’s spreading.” Barbatos held a low growl back in his throat.

“If you’re angry, blame MC for bringing it up. They were watching the new Barbie movie trailer with me, and they told me they thought you would probably look pretty in a Barbie princess outfit. I was just trying to make their dream come true.”

Damn it. Barbatos softened at the mere mention of MC’s name. He sighed. “Fine.”

Barbatos immediately hung up and released the seal on Barbie. She stumbled slightly before steadying herself and fixing her skirt.

“Very well. It seems a certain silver-haired pest has forced a makeover upon me for the sake of MC.”

Diavolo mouthed “oh” and tried to stifle his smile. Barbie deduced that the demon who initially greeted her at the door was the person she was tasked with styling. With any luck, their unfortunate first impressions wouldn’t make her task too awkward. Of course he was suspicious; Solomon hadn’t mentioned her arrival – and this “Barbie” didn’t seem too fond of Solomon, either. She couldn’t really be mad at him for that. If she could just charm him out of his bad mood, things might go well.

“Should we get started, Barbie?” She asked him, tightly gripping her make-up chest by the handle. “I just need a free room with a closet and a mirror.”

Still too annoyed to bother correcting her about his name, Barbatos turned on his heels. “Follow me.”

Barbie rushed to catch up to him. He led her to the first available bedroom in silence. As they walked away, Little D. no. 2 walked down the stairs, still staring at the stranger Mr. Barbatos was escorting through the castle. He rushed to Diavolo, who was grinning and chuckling to himself.

“Who’s the blonde?” Little D. no. 2 asked.

“Barbie,” Diavolo replied with a shrug. He really should get back to his paperwork – after he finds his polaroid camera. He needed to get pictures once his butler was all dolled up.

“Will this do?” Barbatos asked, holding the door open for Barbie. She looked around and nodded with a smile. Barbatos closed the door behind him. “Good, let’s get this over with.”

“You’re not the only one who’s annoyed,” Barbie rolled her eyes and set her make-up chest on the vanity table. “I didn’t expect to be taken from my world today, but if it’s a favor for that idiot sorcerer, it’s not like I have much of a choice. Can’t we at least try to enjoy this and have fun?”

Their mutual annoyance with Solomon amused Barbatos. It made him like Barbie – at least a bit. Sure, this wasn’t how he wanted to spend the day, but if it was something MC wanted to see, he could at least try to enjoy himself.

“We can try.” Barbatos gave her his first genuine smile, and she could tell.

Barbie clapped her hands twice and rushed to the closet, eager to get started in earnest. She hadn’t styled a demon in a long time. It was exciting. With one more glance at Barbatos to assess what she was working with, Barbie began to pull a variety of clothes out from the closet – clothes that Barbatos was certain were not there before. She must possess some sort of magic – magic that Asmo would love to learn.

A short royal blue A-line dress with a Peter Pan collar, a slightly longer pastel pink dress, and a bright neon pink pantsuit were laid out on the bed.

“The hot pink one hurts my eyes,” Barbatos complained.

“Alright.” Barbie tossed the pantsuit back in the closet. Barbatos figured it must work a bit like one of his portals. “Okay, try these two on.”

Barbie gave Barbatos privacy while he changed into the royal blue dress. When he finished, she looked at him. He was pretty, but he looked uncomfortable as he smoothed down the sides of his dress. Barbie left the room while he changed into the pink dress.

“What about this one?” She asked him with a bright smile when she saw him. He looked just as lovely, but he was visibly more comfortable.

“It’s fine. What do you think?”

“You’re as pretty as a petal, Barbie. We just need to pull the outfit together.”

Barbie pulled out a matching pink bat collar and tied it around Barbatos’s neck. She took his gold chain collar pin from his demon outfit and pinned it to the pink collar. Additionally, Barbie handed him matching pink cuffs and Barbatos’s usual gloves along with white stockings and gothic pink Mary Jane platforms with gold heart rings and leather bat wings to change into. When Barbatos was fully changed, Barbie was pleased with herself.

“I haven’t seen a demon look this cute in my life,” she admitted.

“If you meet one named Asmodeus, don’t tell him that.” Barbatos informed her.

“I’ll keep that in mind,” she laughed and patted the chair in front of the vanity. “Sit down. I’m going to do your hair and make-up.”

Barbatos sat down for her and obeyed her instructions politely as she worked. It had been a long time since he was last dolled up like this. Part of him was worried he would hate this. He didn’t.

They complained chatted about Solomon. Barbie had nearly finished when Barbatos summoned the courage to ask, “do you think MC will actually like how I look?”

“I’m sure this person you like is very sweet, and I don’t mean this in a mean way, but who cares what they think? I’m supposed to dress you up like me – and I think we found an outfit that suits you. The most important thing is that you like how you look. No one else’s opinion matters if you feel confident. But for the record, from one Barbie to another, you look very pretty. Want to see for yourself?” Barbie pushed Barbatos towards the full-length mirror, playfully twirling him as she did. Barbatos smoothed down his skirt and stared at his reflection.

“Oh. I do look rather cute.” He laughed to himself. “I haven’t worn this much pink in centuries, but I don’t mind it.”

“Then my work here is done.” Barbie smiled and brushed her hands together. While Barbatos was examining himself in the mirror, Barbie headed for the door.

“Wait,” Barbatos stopped her, “can’t we send you off with anything? Some quality tea perhaps? Have you tried Demonus before?”

“Oh, no. That’s not necessary. I quite enjoyed the experience,” she held up her finger to signify the qualifier: “well, once you released my feet from the floor, at least.”

“My apologies for that. I suppose it wasn’t a warm welcome.” Barbie held the door open for Barbatos as she left the room. From there, he led the way back to the entrance.

“So, are you going to meet with that special person of yours after this?” Barbie asked.

“I think I just might. Thank you for all of this.”

“No problem. Just, please tell Solomon to give me more of a warning before he does something like this again.”

“I can try, but Solomon isn’t keen on listening to others. Well, I suppose this is goodbye Barbie.”

“Bye Barbie.”

“Actually, I tend to go by Barbatos here.”

“Then bye, Barbatos.” Barbie waved as she left.

Now, all he had to do was find MC. He was filled with an unusual giddiness. I hope they’ll think I’m cute, too.

In a Stranger turn of events, the iconic "Creel House" can be yours! Originally constructed circa 1882 by Col. Hamilton Yancey, the current owners have restored the home to its original grandeur [despite a dramatic makeover for Netflix's "Stranger Things"]. It’s in Rome, Georgia & listed for $1.5M.

Look at the inlaid wood in the outer foyer. Isn’t that unusual?

What a stunning entrance hall. The fireplace! Love how they show the rooms in the daylight and evening.

Elegant sitting room. Pocket doors in a curved archway. Look at the pattern in the floor. If you’re going to replace the floor, it may as well be spectacular.

This home is a stunner- look at that cabinet. 

The built-ins in this home are phenomenal.

They turned a room off the kitchen into a tropical bar.

The kitchen is gorgeous. 

Very nice pantry.

Here’s a cozy TV room.

Plus a beautiful guest bedroom on the main floor, off the back porch.

The upstairs hall and stairs is so beautiful, too.

The home has 7 bds. 

And, 7 baths to go with them.

The bedrooms are all lovely and have fireplaces. 

2nd fl. terrace.

The modern baths all feature antique sink cabinets.

This lovely bath was ready for the holiday- notice the skeletons frolicking in the bath.

What an amazing home.

hello baba! :D

I've impulsively (luckily I turned out alright!) taken down all my old posters for a wall makeover in my room! I'm going to be putting some back up and I was wondering if you have any? (posters) I have little bluey posters (I didn't take those down, how could I!) among other more big kid ones like a Game of Thrones map because I liked the books :))

I hope you're having a good week, mines zoomed by!

-🦄

Hey bud!

I'm glad it worked out haha.

I do have posters in my guest room, which also works as my playroom. I'm currently also re-decorating and am planning on filming a little room tour once it's done, so keep your eyes open for that!

I have lots of dinosaur posters, and one space poster.. I'm planning on getting more space themed ones though!

Decorating is real fun, but also exhausting... And expensive haha

Beauty Salon

CG!Husk and Regressor!Crymini 🍼

Plot: Husk has been working all day, so he takes a break and plays beauty salon with Crymini.

Request by @buriedinthestars-blog on AO3

One day, Husk was attending to the currently empty hotel bar when he heard the pitter-patter of someone’s feet, along with some giggling. He turned to see that it was Crymini, one of Hazbin Hotel’s newest guests who saw him as the father she never had.

Crymini’s head peeked up at the bar counter, along with her beloved red and cream rabbit, Ace.

“Well, hello, what are you two up to?” Husk chuckled.

“I took a nap. Now, Ace and I are playing. What are you doing?” Crymini asked as she climbed up to one of the bar stools and sat down.

“That’s nice. You want anything to drink?”

“Can I have strawberry milk, please?”

“Of course you can.”

Husk prepared a sippy cup of strawberry milk. Once he handed the cup to her, he then noticed that her hair was a tangled-up mess.

“I assume you had a good nap,” Husk said as he gently ruffled Crymini’s hair while she laughed.

“I did,” Crymini nodded as she swung her legs back and forth. “Can we play beauty salon?”

“Sorry, I can’t right now. I need to attend the bar. I am the bartender, after all.”

“But you’re here all day…”

“I know, but-“

“Please?”

Crymini sadly pouted and her eyes grew wide as tears began to form.

“No, don’t use the ‘please face’ on me,” Husk said, struggling to be firm. He then realized that Crymini was right - he had been attending the bar all day and it was actually kind of a slow day, with only a few guests showing up for drinks every now and then. “Alright, I’ll play beauty salon with you.”

The small hyena immediately cheered up as Husk walked out from behind the bar. He then scooped her up and carried her to her room upstairs.

Once in Crymini’s room, Husk set her down on a beanbag that rested next to her vanity.

“Alright, let’s do your hair first,” Husk said as he grabbed a hairbrush that was resting on the vanity. “What hairstyle do you want it in?”

“Pony,” Crymini responded as she drank her strawberry milk.

Husk got to work combing Crymini’s hair, being as tender as possible so he wouldn’t hurt her. He then grabbed a red and black scrunchie and tied the hyena’s hair into a simple ponytail. Once the ponytail was finished, Husk decorated Crymini's hair with some skull hair clips that were in her hair accessories box. He then grabbed a plastic tiara that sat next to the box and placed it on top of her head.

"Alright, I'm done," Husk said. Crymini stood up and looked in the mirror, her eyes sparkling with glee. She turned around and gave Husk a big hug.

“I love it, Papa! Thank you!” Crymini squealed. “Can I do your hair?”

“Sure thing.”

Crymini spent the next few minutes fixing up Husk’s hair, decorating it with skull hairclips and hair ties. He even let her paint his claws with black nail polish when she asked him.

“How do I look?” Husk asked after Crymini finished with the makeover.

“You look great,” Crymini replied as she handed Husk a handheld mirror.

When Husk saw his reflection, he laughed warmly.

“I gotta say, you did a really good job, kiddo.”

“Thank you. I feel like Nimona would give Ambrious and Ballister makeovers too.”

“You think so?” Husk chuckled.

“I know so!” Crymini nodded as Husk picked her up and kissed her forehead, causing her to giggle.

“Looks like someone’s really giggly today.”

Husk planted multiple kisses on Crymini’s forehead. This made her squeal as she laughed and laughed.

“Can Ace have kisses?” Crymini asked as she held up Ace.

“Oh, yes. How could I forget about Ace?” Husk nodded as he kissed Ace’s forehead.

Husk walked over to the vanity and pulled out a drawer, revealing a bunch of Crymini’s pacis, teethers, and chewelry.

Crymini reached into the drawer and grabbed a red pacifier, popping it into her mouth. She rested her head on Husk’s shoulder as they went downstairs. They spent the rest of the afternoon watching Nimona in the hotel lounge area.

gn reader x bowser fan fic fifth chapter

You finish up breakfast and get to know some of the Koopalings better.

Check out the next post for some info on the Koopa kids personalities

(Also I'm not going to bother trying to fix the text layout for Tumblr anymore cause pasting and fixing it is a lot)

As everyone finishes up breakfast the Koopa kids argue over who you should hangout with.

"Can we paint together? Please?" Jr. says grabbing your arm.

"I wanna show ya my lab! We can do experiments! Hehehe!" Iggy says grabbing the other.

"No! I'm gonna give them a makeover! (They're in serious need of one.)" Wendy quietly mumbles the last part.

"Aww. Me and Larry wanted to take em to the courtyard. I wanted to show ya more tricks!" Lemmy says then Larry shows more pictures.

"Larry says he wants to show ya his sports skills!"

"Can Morton go with Lemmy and Larry?" Morton says as he bounces on his heels excitedly.

You noticed that two koopa kids have already left. Not seeing Roy or Ludwig in the dining room anymore.

As the kids argue you look over to Bowser and he simply chuckles and gives you a small smile as he shrugs.

You roll your eyes.

Seems you're not getting any help from him I guess...

Then Kamek appears as he says

"I am truly sorry young royals but I must request that the guest come with me. I require their assistance to learn of their home."

"Aw" the children whine but understand

"Would you please follow me." Kamek motions for you to follow

As you walk through the halls you ask Kamek where you're going

"The Royal library. Hopefully you can find something relating to your world. So you said that in your world ours is fictional right? Did you travel here through a book or perhaps a portal?"

You remember that in Mario and Rabbids: Kingdom Battle and a few other games Jr had his own phone so hopefully Kamek will know what video games are.

"I don't think I really came here through something but I was playing a video game and then fell asleep." You reply

"Oh! Like the ones that Jr. and some of the other young royal children play?" He asks

You nod

"Hmm… then perhaps books are not the best place to look, but it does not hurt to try." He says as he opens the doors to the library.

As you step inside you can't help but be amazed by the sheer size of it and the amount of books that surround you. It even has an upper floor! How were you supposed to be able to find anything without searching the whole day?

Finding something on your world would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

You snap out of your thoughts as Kamek snaps in your face.

"I do not mean to be presumptuous but I am guessing you are not used to such great amenities~" He says smugly before continuing

"So what can you tell me of your world? You said magic is fictional or at least assumed to be, and that our world is also fictional as well. So what is your world like?"

You mention the Metro Kingdom saying how it's probably the only closest to something in your world though perhaps a more outdated version being closer to a city called New York about 80 to 90 years ago though with modern conveniences and technologies.

"The Metro Kingdom. understood…"

He says as he waves his wand and a couple books fly by

"So what are the inhabitants of your world like?"

You say how humans are the dominant species and are considered the only hyper intelligent one as there are nothing like Koopas or Toads or any other species capable of such intelligence.

"Only humans? Sounds quite miserable and dull… Oh! Not to offend you."

Though he said no offense he didn't really seem to mean it as he continues searching through books.

"So what about the similarities of our two worlds apart from humans and the Metro Kingdom's likeness?"

You say how certain technologies are similar if not the exact same. That the many species of their world don't exist and those that do are tend to be very different. Mentioning how monkeys and apes are much less intelligent in your world and many arthropods tend to be a lot smaller.

"Uhuh… okay… hmm… well if you wish to leave while I continue searching you may. If I need any further assistance I will come to you." He says not even looking up from the many books.

As you leave the library you soon realize that you still don't know your way around the castle quite yet despite the tour yesterday. It's hard to remember a place this big, especially with most halls looking the same. You also weren't really paying attention on the walk from the dining room.

You pop back in and ask which way the dining room is.

"Ugh."

Kamek sighs before quickly telling you the directions.

As you walk back to the dining room you happen to run into Ludwig. And ask the young Koopa what he's up to.

"Hmm? I'm on my way to the concert hall. I have a new composition I want to work on and I need some quiet to focus. Unlike some people around here, I take my music very seriously."

he replies with a snobbish tone.

You nod, and then ask, "What's the composition about?"

"It's about the rise and fall of power. I find it to be quite relevant in these times." He says with a smirk, clearly proud of himself.

Deciding you don't really have much else to do you ask "You mind if I join you do you?"

Ludwig hesitates for a moment, eyeing you up and down before finally nodding. "Very well, but please try not to distract me. This is important work."

The two of you make your way to the concert hall, where Ludwig sets up at the piano and begins to play. It's clear that he's very talented, and even though rude at times, you can't help but appreciate his skill and dedication.

As the hours pass by, Ludwig becomes more and more absorbed in his work. You sit quietly, watching him play with a sense of awe.

You clap for him, and he nods, looking pleased. "Yes, it's coming along nicely. I'll have to make sure to show it to father when it's finished."

As you both walk out he stops and looks at you.

"Hmm, you know you're actually quite tolerable."

"Um... Thanks." You say almost giggling at the somewhat backhanded compliment.

The two of you part ways, but as you walk away, you can't help but feel a sense of respect for the talented albeit rude young composer.

As you try and find your room you you're stopped by the twins.

Lemmy jumps in front of you, doing a cartwheel and giggling wildly. "Hiya!" he exclaims, wearing a big grin.

Iggy rushes up beside him, scribbling in a notebook with a pencil muttering, glancing up at you with wide, curious eyes. "Do you know what the acceleration rate is on a banana peel when thrown at a wall?"

You blink in confusion, not sure what to make of these two odd-ball Koopas. "Uh... no?"

Lemmy giggles again. "Neither do we! Wanna find out?"

Iggy nods eagerly, already rummaging through his backpack for a banana. You can't help but laugh at their childish antics. But realize you're probably about to be roped into their antics regardless.

"Well, I'm really just trying to find my room," you say hoping get their help.

Lemmy's face immediately falls. "Oh... okay. Sorry."

Iggy, however, seems unfazed. He giggles "No problem! We can help you find it!"

The twins lead you on a wild goose chase through the castle, getting distracted by various things along the way. It takes longer than expected, but eventually, you end up at your room.

"Ta-da!" Lemmy exclaims, doing a little twirl on his ball.

Iggy scribbles something in his notebook. "Hehehe~ You're fascinating!!! Your world is so different!"

You shake your head, amused. "Thanks, kiddos. I'll see you around."

As you enter your room, you can't help but wonder what other shenanigans the Koopa siblings will get up to…

💙 and 🌊 for Seth :D !!

💙 Describe their bedroom! Is it personalized, unchanged? Messy, neat? We'd have three stages here, childhood bedroom, guest room at Beckett's house and later their shared bedroom (which stays unchanged by Seth cause Beckett is very particular about his living space). The childhood bedroom is very much a typical 90s metalhead den, cleaned only on holidays, posters covering most of the walls, a TV, lots of 'trash' his parents told him to throw out countless times like a street sign, old bike turned into a clothes rack, a couch with many broken springs, stacks of books next to his nearly holy pile of CDs. And there is one very special drawer hiding a very special box with all the photos of him and his ex, Alex. This vibe for sure (well, minus the obvious ruin):

When he lives in the small room in Beckett's—rather ancient, by Seth's standards—house, he doesn't see it quite fit to claim it as his own. He is aware that it became his only home, but still he feels too much respect towards the old vampire to give it the same makeover as his childhood room received. Though over time Seth's residency becomes obvious, there is a completely new, though definitely smaller stack of CDs, many books, and yellowed tomes nibbled out by moths. There is also a growing collection of postcards, neatly lined on the wall next to the bed; one that Beckett has once described as amusing, though Seth never managed to decipher what his mentor meant by that.

🌊 Does this oc have a secret or repressed desire?

After the whole fiasco that was the 2004 L.A. events, after trying his stay at the Pyramid and then lone wolfing archaeology until he does archaeology with the lone wolf, he does have a secret desire. He's not proud of it, in fact remembering his state of mind from that time makes him physically cringe. Seth spends a lot of energy, resources and time to find a way to reverse his embrace. The more time he spends alone after ditching the Pyramid, the more bitter he grows over time, the loneliness becomes unbearable, and it's almost laughable to him how, with hindsight, his old life seems preferable to what it is now. Cowering in the night, feeding on people just as unfortunate as he was not too long ago, trying to come to terms with his not-quite-death by acting like he can still have a hobby, still can occupy himself as if nothing happened, seems ridiculous at the best of times. He really is not proud of it—when the renowned Gangrel, by either sheer luck or lapse of judgement, takes him under his wing—Seth uses his resources by extension to further his goal. It all comes to a rather cacophonic halt when Beckett finds him, late into the noon hunched over his desk, looking more-so like a Malkavian at the verge of a breakdown. Scattered about were many papers of varying colours; old manuscripts and ripped book pages, more or less created before Beckett's birth, to handwritten notes and prints seemingly containing rumours and young blood superstitions. Some few weeks passed after that event, filled with silence and shame, but since then Seth had, with lots of hardships, managed to come to terms that his old life will remain buried in the past.
