EVERYONE SAY THANK YOU COSTUME DESIGN

valentine's day with the yjs ୧ 💌 ୨

cw: pretty much just fluff !!! may have swear words included tho ??

a/n: made this for me and everyone else who's single on valentine's day too :l hope this make you all feel a lil better and ily mwah mwah, happy ( early ) valentine's day babes <3

NATALIE SCATORCCIO

- pretends she hates valentines day and everything that has to do it but deep down she adores it

- will stand awkwardly looking at the different kind of chocolates and sweets and being like "uhmmmm.....reeses are never a bad option i guess?" ALSO I FEEL LIKE she'd ask other people buying stuff for their partners what they're gonna get them cuz she's so confused 😭

- we all know she's a sucker for kisses, cuddles, holding hands, AAAANYTHING that has to do with physical touch but hates showing it so i think she'd use valentine's day as an excuse to be publicly affectionate a bit

- ok that's all i might add more later on

JACKIE TAYLOR

- she's OBSESSED with holidays and celebrations, whether it's valentine's day, christmas, anything

- waking you up at like 7am and being like "hi hi valentine hey you're my valentine it's time to wake up my valentine" while shaking you and smooching you all over

- she's never letting go of you on vday. always clinging by your side, holding your other hand while you're brushing your teeth, talking to you from outside of the door while you're on the toilet, hugging you by the waist when you're cooking

- wearing ridiculous matching outfits with her in PUBLIC. i feel like she'd have those shirts that say "their queen" AND YOU "her king/queen/monarch(☠️)" OR GETTING YOU THOSE SILLY LIL HEADBANDS THINGIES WITH THE JIGGLY HEARTS..

- knows exactly what to buy you and she's already gotten everything prepared😭 it's adorable cause she'll give you a gift of something you forgot you wanted and you're just sitting there standing like :O

SHAUNA SHIPMAN

- ditches you for jackie. end.

- JK. i think she'd just treat it like a regular day honestly

- gets you a chocolate and calls it a day but not in a bad way??? LIKE she already loves you and does a lot of things to show it so she doesn't really think valentine's day is necessary

LOTTIE MATTHEWS

- she's suuuuuuuuch a softie for showing you off and getting to shower you with gifts :(

- she wouldn't wanna go out too much, she'd probably have everything set out already. your gifts hiding in the closet, your sweets hidden in the fridge, everything prepared and on point

- i feel like since some of the yjs were mean to her and telling her to just stop talking and stuff, she'd be kinda closed off at the start and she'd be scared to show you how much she loves and adores you, but then when she sees that you accept and give her the same love back and even more she's SOOOO hyper

- writes you cheesy letters that you keep in your drawer forever and probably even little drawings of your favourite things or you and her 😭

VAN PALMER

- THE SILLY!!!!!MAI SILLY!!!DE SILLY!!!:DD

- arcade dates w them on valentine's day or going like on an amusement park☝️☝️

- they'd go print out some silly t-shirts for y'all... like "i love my van" with a picture of a van LMAOO and they'd make you wear it all the time

- if you want to do smth on that day, you BET you will. they'll never let you down i SWEAR they're the sweetest pookiest babiest to ever exist :(((((((((

TAISSA TURNER

- hates valentine's day more than anything... "what the fuck im NOT wearing that" when you ask her to match outfits with you but does it anyway

- she's miserable doing anything on valentine's day cause she thinks it's cringe but warms up to it when she sees how happy it makes you

- she's the girl that said "happy wife happy life" btw so she'll do anything u ask her to no matter how much she despises it which is.. a lot probably

- gets you a chocolate and takes 2 hours to decide if she should write you a corny letter with it and she scribbles down some ideas but then just puts :)

LAURA LEE

- as a christian we shouldn't be celebrating vday but im not really that religious so????

- but laura lee is so anyways she would be all like "im not going to sin, i don't want to disappoint my lord" 😭😭😭

- she'd still go on a date w you, well more like flower picking and stuff and she'd probably pull out the the bible and start reading to you but you love her too much to say no so you just listen

- ok yeah that's it end of post mwah mwah

[crimswnred]

I've just gotten back home from work so I'm a little late to the party, however...

LITG SEASON 8: TEMPTING FATE — VOLUME 2: thoughts, concerns and prayers

first of all yesss more hair booooo paywall, fusebox get it together??? (at least they are pretty but again that's the bare minimum)

anyway, here's my girl with her new hair

why do all of the girls' nightwear look like I'm on a strip club and they're asking me if I want something to drink

it's so over for you Theo

honestly she's too good for him anyway

okay kiss challenge!!!! let me snog everyone

I don't want any more of that "peck" crap we want FULL ON SNOGS, TONGUE AND CHAOS

Jin: "Nap, then results?" Hamish would be so proud of him

okay, so you rate me EIGHT just so I feel like I have to pay to have one extra kiss, your game is a dirty as ever Fusebox

date time!!!! going with Jin ❤️

LMAO Jack is kinda funny

so sad to see a baddie doing too much to keep a man in love island 💔 Luna I'm so sorry you didn't deserve it your only crime was being coupled up with the one guy I want

oh. so about the terrace scene...

first of all, super sweet gem scene. it seemed like a super important one for it to be a gem scene though. so idk I'm a bit lost.

Jin is a walking red flag 😭 this boy is soooo gonna flip on me when the next hot girl shows up!! but let's enjoy the ride

and Luna... girl... was it ever that serious?

the award for worst outfit design goes to 👇

and the one for BEST outfit design goes to 👇

like wow wowza mmmhmm yeah! this man is hot hot HOT 🔥🔥🔥

I had to kiss him HE IS SO FINEEEEEEEEEEE

oh, Jack is kinda sweet... if he looked more like Lewie/Alex he would be favourite boy of the season for sureeee

keep the compliments coming, darling

I had to kiss him too. you know, to be polite.

but it was just a peck, tho

okay, NOW JIN!!!

having a spicy conversation with the guy I want to fuck and his currently girl isn't how I planned to spend my afternoon but here we go

"You're adventurous. You're fun to be around. And you'd make every sight even more beautiful", "Okay. Where's the punch line?", "There isn't one :)" OKAY GAG ME WITH THE WRITING

FUNNY BOY WHO'S A HISYORY NERD? OH OKAY!!!! BIG T??? NO IT'S BIG J!!!!!! JIMOTHY!!!

lmao Sophie mixing the boys up she's so me

Claudia is a real one let me tell you that

she's nice, she doesn't force herself upon us, she's polite, she give us all the tea, and she even help us to graft on the boys behind their girls' backs. like, THAT'S MY GIRL

and if Theo doesn't step up she will DEFINITELY be mine

TIME TO PICK MY BOY LET'S GOOOOOOOO

so sad to see Luna go, I really like her :/

lmao???????????

I TAKE BACK EVERY GOOD THING I SAID ABOUT JACK WTFFFF 😭😭😭😭

he was so out of pocket ?? what's your deal man, are you jealous I picked Jin instead of you? we kissed ONCE. be sooooooooo for real rn

okay Sophie you can join your boy in this bullshit he still cheated on you with me when you weren't looking (and he probably would do it again)

no. I won't forgive you?? you were basically calling me a whore back then and now you are SORRY? don't say something you'll regret later that's not cute.

and he's supposed to be serious?

anyway, stressful night over. time to go to bed with my babygirl Jin

BITS BITS BITS BITS

29 gems to go all the way? what is this?

they could've make the scene a little longer but they have gotten way better ever since the writers dropped the word crescendo

MR TYLER WHO ARE YOU?

still not 100% sure if I'm going with Jin or Oakley but I'm leaning towards Jin, I'm not gonna lie 😁 I did some stuff that will fuck me over on movie night if fusebox finally learnt how to code (which they prolly didn't so I guess I'm safe)

I really enjoyed this episode except for the part when Jack and Sophie went full on villain mode but if the narrative made sense all of the time it wouldn't be LITG, right?

anyway, let's see what this Tyler guy is about... see you all next week 🫶

Cadybear's Reviews- Baby Bump

Welcome to the twenty-first official Cadybear's Reviews! Today I'll be talking about Baby Bump, which I have ranked on the "Gold Tier" at 8 stars out of a possible 10.

WHY DO PEOPLE HATE THIS SERIES!? WHY!? It’s FINE! 

Okay, I can maybe see why people may not like it because, let’s be real, accidental pregnancy is a very overdone trope. And apparently there were a lot of parts that were originally problematic when the story was released and had to be re-written, but I wasn’t around for that and I know next to nothing about the original lines, so I can’t say much about them. But even now, how does it get ranked as being among the worst so often? Even if you think it’s bad, it’s really not that bad. 

Like… I found it decent? I don’t think it’s nearly as bad as a lot of people have said it is. And I’m saying this as a GNC cis woman who experiences major genital dysphoria and absolutely REVILES the idea of becoming pregnant. Like, I would rather die than ever experience being pregnant. And yet I still quite enjoyed this story. 

I guess it kind of helps that the book is very clearly a pregnancy book from the beginning, so I kind of went in knowing what to expect and thus not self-inserting as the MC at all. Unlike something like TRH, which is a continuation that suddenly introduces a “MC gets pregnant” plot to a non-pregnancy series… but that’s a subject for a different day. 

I’ll be honest though, this story has a pretty awful start. In the flashback in B1 Ch1 where MC meets Mr. Covington, they try waaaayyyyy too hard to make the player swoon at the idea of having his babies. Like, did the guy they wanted to be MC’s baby daddy HAVE to be a celebrity company salesman, who is also the keynote speaker at MC’s graduation? 

And don’t even get me started on the Clint fangirls, who feel like they were written by someone who’s only ever been surrounded by the “Facebook Mom” stereotype and has never met (and probably never will meet) a real horny woman in their entire life. 

Literally, the scene is just all like “OMG LOOK!!! BIG FAMOUS CELEBRITY SALESMAN!!! OMG HE HAS *GASP* ABS!!! OH WOW, A MALE LI IN CHOICES WITH ABS AND BIG MUSCLES! THAT’S SO UNIQUE AND SPECIAL AND TOTALLY NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE!!! OMG ALL THE OTHER WOMEN ARE CHANTING OVER HIS ABS AND WANT TO HAVE HIS BABIES TOO!!! DON’T *YOU* WANT TO HAVE HIS BABIES TOO!?!?!?! AREN’T YOU SOOOOOO LUCKY THAT YOU’RE GOING TO BE HAVING HIS BABIES?!?!?!?!?!?!?”. Like, how much intelligence do you think your wlm audience has PB? Really trying to pander to the “Facebook Karen Mom” stereotype here, huh? 

With that in mind, I guess I can understand why people may have gotten a bad impression of the book at first, because the story for how MC got pregnant in the first place (and her conflict with Cassandra in Book 1) feels straight out of one of those weird Instagram and Facebook ads. 

But besides that, it was an okay series! I found it mostly cute and wholesome. Literally everything else was fine! There were even a few moments in Book 2 that made me cry, like when MC can record a sweet message for the babies with a plush bunny she can get from the Baby Baskets. 

Besides maybe Book 1 Dr. Mariana Castillo who is just way too unserious (at least she gets better in Book 2), I honestly really liked the main cast. Even though MC is technically an outsider to the town, she still gets to be very driven and gets shit done rather than being the typical doe-eyed newbie who needs to be shown the ropes. Clint is a sweetheart and does get to be more than just “har dee har muscular celebrity salesman who knocks you up aren’t you soooo lucky” that they wanted him to be in the first chapter. Mayor Dixon is a nice mix of goofy and tsundere, and the female version Myra contributed to my bi awakening. Luisa is just a queen all around. MC’s sister… initially she could sometimes be a bit of a stereotypical “OMG girly girl talk best friend to talk exclusively about LI and diamond outfits” but she does become more than that too, and I really like her subplot with Bao. Speaking of, Bao is just the most absolute precious ever (and shame on PB for making him the sister’s LI and not one for MC /jk). 

The antagonist characters were… kind of a mixed bag, I will admit. They were memorable, but also kind of stupid. Like I said before, Cassandra’s storyline in Book 1 just felt petty and cheap, plus I’m tired of straw loser villain female antagonists who exist solely to compete with the MC over the LI. It never got too overbearing, but it was still stupid. Book 2 Cassandra is great though. 

Then there’s Craig, who wants to destroy everything MC and friends accomplish and take over Gracetown because… potatoes. I guess he’s alright as he is actually a threat in Book 2, but the townspeople can be pretty damn meek to him which is a little weird. But he was still a strong antagonist in that book. Book 1 Craig feels a lot more like he just exists to be an annoyance for the sake of being an annoyance, though. 

Jebediah is a lot more compelling as an antagonist character, and I did expect the Covington family conflict to be incredibly boring but it turned out otherwise. He’s a jerk at first, but it’s nice to see how he does genuinely try to change throughout the storyline of Book 2. 

Also, props to this for being one of only three Choices series ever (the others being OG HSS and ILITW) where the collectible system has some items that aren’t diamond-walled. The baby blanket collectibles are really cute, and it’s really refreshing to have a collectible system that isn’t “the first one is free and then the rest you have to pay for”. Like HSS, there are even some pieces that are determinant on your success in certain events. Why can’t more series do their collectibles like this??? (Oh right, because it requires actual effort). 

Would I say it’s a good or accurate portrayal of pregnancy? IDK, I’m not an expert. But it’s fine if you just want a lighthearted pregnancy story to chill out to.

If Hunter were to start a scarf collection, what kind of scarf would you get him to add to his collection that currently measures one (1) scarf? (what color(s), patterns, fabric types, etc.)

Well well well… *rubs hands together gleefully*

This could not have come at a better time, my friend. I am currently pulling all of my clothes out of my bedroom closet in order to wash them and get them stored elsewhere in my house…I have a roof leak, probable mold problems, my bedroom and closet stay almost pitch dark all day which makes things even worse—let’s just say my house is a never ending source of most of my frustration in life. Okay, now let me get back on track.

Soooo, last night I washed all of my scarves and was reminded of how much I love them even though I don’t wear them very often 🫣 so I am going to use some of them as examples and/or inspiration of what I would dress Hunter in…I mean gift him, I mean, I totally wouldn’t be imagining any of these around his neck or watching a soft smile on his face as he realized I had gotten a gift especially for him…okay okay I’m back I swear.

Disclaimer, I did not look up proper scarf terms so I just winged it on trying to describe them.

1. Grey floral pashmina

If Hunter still had his season 1 armor, I think this scarf would be beautiful with his colors and the pop of red from his armor underneath. It’s soft and thick, and wide enough to wrap around like a shawl but still narrow enough to be a nice scarf as well. I think he would love it. It can be very dressy as well so a perfect fit for a night out or an event.

2. Striped wrap

In a similar vein to the above, this scarf is soft and extremely wide, it’s almost too thick for me to wrap comfortably around my neck. It can be used as a blanket, shawl, scarf, head wrap, a sling for carrying things (maybe even a very sleepy Omega??). It has his old and new colors, has infinite uses, and would honestly look very good on him.

Both of these scarves are brushed cotton but can I emphasize again just how soft they are??

3. Silk bandana/tie/belt

(This is nylon but let’s pretend it’s a nicer material). I might change the colors up a little bit from what I have, but these still work pretty well for Hunter. This long strip of fabric never wrinkles, has a really good flow to it while feeling completely weightless, and could be used as a nicer bandana to keep hair out of his face, tied up around his neck as a tie or bow tie or cravat situation, or even maybe tied around his eyes or wrists for, um…reasons.

4. Chunky knit infinity scarf

And of course, Hunter deserves a super soft, warm, chunky knit infinity scarf that he can just throw on and wrap himself up in when it’s cold. Similar to what he already has but much cozier for winter. I bet Crosshair or Wrecker would get bored one day and make it for him.

However, I’m not sure what color I would choose for him, actually. Probably red or maybe a burnt orange or even a darker greenish teal. Whatever accents his outfit underneath.

5. Lace triangle scarf

Okay, this isn’t self-indulgent at all 👀. I think Hunter would look super sexy amazing with some kind of lacy, delicate scarf that he could wear the way a bandana is traditionally worn. Whether it peeks out from under his armor and shirt or he wears it draping over the front of his cuirass just to look nicer or with nothing else he would look even more dashing and handsome in this. Navy would be a good color for him but he could also do a darker orange or red of course.

HOLY SHIT GUYS OH MY GOD (long post sorry)

so the awards ceremony is tonight and obviously I'm dressed up. I'm wearing a blazer that I don't normally wear, so I feel a little awkward in it.

I am also...... well endowed, let's say, so I can't button it all the way to the top, but I don't like the way it looks with none of the buttons closed, so I've been wearing it with only two buttons done, but wasn't sure if that was acceptable

In a moment of insecure boldness, I stopped by abelard's office literally just to ask if it looked ok. I said, "does this...look okay?" he stood up (I guess to evaluate my outfit better?? or to feel less awkward about me standing and him sitting???)

I then said, "like, with the two buttons? I don't think it'll..." and then I ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE THE BUTTON but it obviously wouldn't close, looked up at him and finished my sentence: "go all the way" he nodded and laughed/smiled and said, "uh huh"

Then me: "it's either two or nothing and I don't like the way it looks with none"

He said, "No yeah it looks fine"

and that was really it but OH MY GOD I cannot believe that I 1. asked his opinion on my outfit and 2. Mentioned that my jacket won't close and then SHOWED HIM how it won't close because my chest is too big 😭😭😭😭😭😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 I am so insane..........but also..... not like he wouldn't have realized that my chest is big anyway but like basically directly pointing it out to him to his face is crazyyyyyyyyyyy

BUT THERE'S MORE!!!

later I was walking in the hallway when my top button literally fell off and thankfully I caught it but I was like panicking like oh my god what if I can't fix this I'm gonna look awful

I walked past his office and he said hello, I stopped and said hi back, he asked me how it's going, I said "Good, but my button just fell off and I don't know if I can get it back on.." I stepped into his office and said, "I haven't tried to fix it yet but it looks like it just screws onto itself again." He came over to me and I handed him the button since he asked for it and without me asking or saying anything, HE STARTED TRYING TO PUT IT BACK ON FOR ME. which, very nice! but also. I WAS STILL WEARING THE JACKET and it was the button literally right on my...yknow, chest. So. He was trying to screw this button back on. While I was still wearing the jacket. HE WAS SOOOOOOO FUCKING CLOSE TO ME OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD and like he didn't touch me and was in fact trying very hard not to touch me so much so that he wasn't able to get it put back on. But like oh my god the image of looking down to my chest and his hands being there trying to screw this button back onto my jacket will be forever burned into my brain OH MY GOD IMAGINE IF SOMEOME SAW THAT?!?!?!??!?! like my back was to the door and he was sooooo close to me and right in front of me, I have no idea what that would've looked like from outside the office (his door was open) and then he told me to take my jacket off and try putting it back on that way so I did. imagine if someone saw him trying to put the button on and then saw me TAKE OFF MY JACKET ohhhhhh shit we could've gotten into soooo much trouble there lol ALSO under my blazer I'm only wearing a tank top except you can see soooooo much of my bra (mostly the straps but sometimes it slips down so you see more of my bra) so he DEFINITELY saw at least a little bit of my bra (at the very least the straps though maybe more? I didn't look to see how much was exposed but I pulled up my shirt anyway go make sure I was covered). also one of the straps fell down so I pulled it up and I *watched* his eyes look to my arm as I did that. So. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫. anyway. this is all insane. I'm going to think about this for the rest of my life oh my god he was so close to touching me I wish he had </3 >/3 </3

Run to the Store (DBH MediScout Fic)

Jeremy goes to the store with Ludwig, his 'babysitter' of an Android and ends up running into an old friend after moving. plus, you get to decide what happens next! (by choosing one of three options :] )

words: 3,189 warning(s): android hate check this story out over on AO3!: Run to the Store

Stomping his shoes down on the welcome mat below, Jeremy hurriedly pulled out his small notepad filled with items to get for his Ma. Chicken broth, broccoli, steak, celery… Pretty nice things for a soon to be soup special by yours truly. He found comfort in a warm home cooked meal over fast food any day, especially on rainy days like this. Often, he found himself craving his mothers cooking more these days. It was rare to see her, knowing she had gotten into a rather busy and high end fashion deal. Not only would he see her in the mornings, but now he'd spot her in magazines and even some pricey fashion show. 

As much as he disliked the man she was now seeing, he had to give him some credit. He was making her life better and well suited for her interests. He'd always recall his mother often lingering around the city's shops, staring at highly made outfits and dresses. Who knew she'd be the one there displaying some of her own.

Removing his backpack and jacket, having  wrapped his jacket around his waist and dumping his bag into the shopping cart Ludwig snagged, Jeremy officially began his journey through the store, the other carefully close behind. Ludwig panned his eyes throughout the store as he followed Jeremy. Not too many people this afternoon, but honestly, who would be? It was a rainy Thursday afternoon. The most people you’d get at this hour were business workers, teenagers getting out of school, mothers gathering items for the night's meal. Again, not too many people in… apart from working Androids. Stocking shelves, as well as mopping the floors, Ludwig watched as they all worked effortlessly. Even Jeremy found himself staring occasionally, often glancing back and forth towards Ludwig.  Built for this… each model hand crafted to meet the expectations of the working class. Designed to be the perfect worker in multiple fields. He wondered if Ludwig was the same… but of course, given to him by his rich ass stepdad, he didn’t bother looking too much into Ludwig’s model type or what they were used for. Seeing how not many people were around, and how the two were practically shopping in silence… he decided to give it a crack, seeing how the silence was making him feel a bit awkward. 

“Soooo… Ludwig. I nevea really got to askin’ you this, but uh… what are you?”

Looking towards Jeremy as they stopped at a column of shelves, Ludwig scanned over the items before delicately picking a nicely decorated box of chocolate chip cookies, one of Jeremy’s favorites. Though, once putting the box into the cart, he met Jeremy’s eyes.

“I am a RK200 model. I have been designed and hand selected by your father to help assist and see over you and any activities you vould like to do. If you have any questions, I am here to help”

With a kind smile, Ludwig gave a small nod, pushing the cart once more ahead, now leading Jeremy, who shook his head slightly in disgust. 

“First off, not my dad. Second, I don’t needa Android holdin’ my hand every step of the way. No offense Ludwig, but I am an adult. A grown ass man. I need no one to watch ovea my every move like some toddler”.

Turning a corner, Ludwig didn’t respond. Instead, he paused the cart near the meat selection, scanning over the multiple red meats laid out. Jeremy however, let out an annoyed sigh as he shoved a hand into his pocket, kicking his foot up briefly. It riled him up to know that he was practically given a babysitter. Sure, he’d done one or two things before that possibly wasn’t at all legal, but not once was he caught! He had things handled perfectly and he was perfectly fine on his own. It bothered him to know that even his own mother didn’t trust him to be on his own…

“... I’m gonna go pick up the garlic bread. I’ll meet you back here in a sec”, Jeremy eventually spoke up, noticing how Ludwig was weighing his options over the red meat. Ludwig paused before looking up, going to stop the other from running off alone, but to no avail. Jeremy was hurriedly walking away, a small bounce in his step. Ludwig seemed to mentally sigh at that, and opted back to shopping for now… but knew to keep his guard high.

He hated lying to Jeremy, but it was for the best.

…

Jeremy was looking through magazines, flipping away carelessly at the pages as he searched for any article of his Ma. During frustrating times, he’d find comfort in rambling to her about his issues and troubles. She honestly could understand him. Hell, she was his safe space through these years. After moving from their original home and moving into a new one with her new boyfriend, leaving his childhood home was hard. Talking with her… it helped knowing the two could talk about it together. A faint smile formed along his features, his finger finally landing on the page where his mother wrote on. Talking about the latest fashions, given fashion tips, even answering questions by readers. She was always so happy talking about her interest every time she arrived home. It made him feel warm, knowing she was alive in something she truly enjoyed. 

Mann’s Makeover Wear it proud baby

Chuckling, he shook his head. On many occasions, she’d even try to dress him up for a spot in the magazine, but to no avail. Fashion wasn’t really his thing… but creativity? 

He’d often get his ass chewed out for sneaking out and tagging buildings in high places, leaving a well established mark there for people to see. Not that any of the feedback was negative, no. They LOVED his work. They love his use of colors and how clean his work would turn out. Even his own Ma loved it. But she was highly against vandalism. To him, it wasn’t vandalism. It was art.

Art that helped him express things he wouldn’t normally put into words. Words, he couldn’t even bring to the table.

Art was his escape. Art to him was like breathing. It felt right. It made him alive.

Closing the magazine carefully and putting it back along the multiple other ones, he sighed. Ludwig was probably looking for him by now… he did say he’d be back soon. Stepping away from the wall of literature, he started to walk towards the back, but was stopped by a hand on his shoulder. He jolted slightly before turning, thinking he’d see Ludwig… but no. He saw a familiar face.

“Luca?”

Jeremy spoke out, a grin slowly forming on his face as Luca seemingly smiled back, moving to pull the other into a tight hug, patting his back warmly.

“Jeremy! It’s been awhile my man!” He expressed, pulling back as he looked over Jeremy, hands still on his shoulders.

“Still rocking that baller's cap? Man, when was it when I gave that to you??”

Jeremy rolled his eyes as he laughed, roughly nudging Luca’s arm before smiling widely. Luca has been his best friend since highschool. The two were tightly knit together in the art scene, both often wandering off to coat a fresh layer of paint for their pieces. It was astonishing for Jeremy to see Luca here, of all places! Though of course, he didn’t move too far from home, but it was just enough to become a hassle given the state of their hometome. With the Android protests and people out rioting every other day of the week, it was hard for anyone to do anything. 

Overall, Jeremy was his ride or die. The two would often get mistaken for being twins, seeing how the only thing different between the two was that Luca was blond and had green eyes. Akin to Jeremy, who had dark brown hair and blue eyes.  Reconnecting after this long… man.

“Where have you been, Jeremy? You know the whole group’s been asking about you dude”, Luca poked at Jeremy, giving a sort of questioning expression. “You’ve been ignoring us or something? Thinkin’ that since you’ve moved over to this district, you’re too cool for us?”

Jeremy instantly punched his arm playfully, which got out a short laugh from Luca. Of course he knew that wasn’t at all the cause. Sticking out his tongue, Jeremy started to walk with Luca, both of them side by side as they spoke together.

“Nah man, you know my Ma got together with some rich ass influencer, right?”

Quirking a brow, Luca remained silent, signaling Jermey to continue.

“He’s some fancy fashion CEO of Mann Makeovers or something. He’s gotten my Ma into that business which caused us to move ovea here, since that shits closer. Not like I had a choice in the say, but I definitely wasn’t lettin’ her move over here alone with some random jackass”.

Luca seemed to nod at that, chuckling briefly as he then snagged a small bag of candy, tossing one over to Jeremy as he seemingly opened it. Jeremy watched as Luca simply opened it, not really taking a bite. Though, he was more concerned over the fact that Luca was about to eat something here without paying first. If Ludwig were to see him with Luca doing this, who’s to say he wouldn’t make a big fuss over this? 

“Oh come on Jeremy, you know I’ll pay for this”, Luca mused, noting the other's expression before motioning for him to walk, the two seemingly walking towards the front. “I’m not stealing anything from here dude”.

That seemed to put him at ease, but of course, Jeremy wasn’t going to open a bag that wasn’t paid for. He may paint on buildings for expression, but he wasn’t about the whole stealing and theft business. It rubbed him the wrong way to know that’s what would’ve happened… but maybe he was overthinking. It had been some time since either of them saw each other and Jeremy was the one assuming the worst of the situation? He felt his face flush red in embarrassment and shame. To think worse of his best friend made him feel awkward. Maybe… living here was changing him. Ugh…

Feeling along his pockets as Luca walked and talked with him, he mentally slapped himself. His phone was in his bag, which Ludwig had at the moment. He really wanted to give Luca his number to keep in touch, since they had changed phone providers. But in doing so, he’d have to introduce Luca to Ludwig and Ludwig to Luca…and he was NOT ready to have that happen. He just wanted to wrap this up and head home before it got too late. He needed to think fast.

“... hey! Luca. I know it’s been ages man, and I really would love to keep chattin’ with you. But, I’ve got to run some business here and head back home to Ma, ya know? Is it alright if you write down your number and I’ll be in touch soon?”

There was a pause before Luca smiled, giving a rather questionable look.

“What? Can’t hang out after curfew? Aren’t you like, an adult now man? And you’re still listening to your mother’s rules? Where’s the fun in that?” Jeremy seemed slightly taken back, but surely didn’t show it. Instead, he shook his head, smiling once more as he patted Luca’s shoulder.

“I am, I am. But, you know I gotta listen to her. She’ll be home soon and if I’m not back before then, I am cooked haha..”

Luca paused once more, as if going to put something together, but then…

“Jeremy”

Fucking dammit. Jeremy closed his eyes tightly and prayed, hoping to just die there on the spot. But he knew that would be too good to be true. So he sighed heavily, and turned around, awaiting his doom. “Heeeeya Ludwig-”

Grinning sheepishly towards the other, he watched as Ludwig approached the two casually, his eyes landing directly behind Jeremy. It felt like catching two kids doing something they weren’t supposed to do, but of course, replacing the kids with two adults. Ludwig by now, had a cart full of groceries, seemingly done with the shopping run… though, something about the way Ludwig was looking over Luca made him want to question it, but through the silence… Luca was the first to speak up.

“Aye, don’t you robots have better things to do other than bothering people here?” Tense. Jeremy found himself snapping his gaze back to Luca, who looked utterly disgusted to see that an Android approached them. “Me and my pal here have somethin’ going on here. So, why don’t you move your metal ass along and leave us be..” Ludwig seemingly took no offense to that, and instead, looked towards Jeremy as he hummed. “Jeremy, it is currently 5:13. Your mother vill be home shortly and vill vonder vhere you are. I suggest we buy these and return home soon”. It was there, did Luca clock what had happened. 

“Ahh.. I see... Look who’s got an Android”. Nudging Jeremy briefly, plus the cocky grin he flashed him, Luca stepped right up to Ludwig, which caused Jeremy to somewhat stand tall. Ludwig seemed to look down to Luca, giving a neutral expression as he carefully stepped back. Clearly, he could tell the other was becoming a bit hostile. This was no good, given how Jeremy seemed to be in clear distress of his… friend’s actions.

“Oh, what’s wrong Android? Scared of me or somethin’?”

It became painfully obvious that Luca seemed to have some vendetta against Androids. That, and coupled with the fact that a lady and her child passed by watching with wide eyes at what seemed to be a confrontation caused Jeremy to be on edge. He didn’t want to be a part of what was going to seemingly go down. He needed to break the tension.

“Luca, this is Ludwig. Ludwig, this is Luca. A friend from highschool. We were close before me and Ma moved out here”, Jeremy spoke up, giving a rather awkward smile before Luca interjected with his comment. “We ARE close. Not just a friend, best friends I may add. Jeremy, why didn’t you tell me you had Android scum living with you man? I can’t imagine how awkward it must feel having some Android trash follow you around every day”. All Ludwig could do was stand there with a neutral expression, hands gently gripping the rails of the shopping cart. Jeremy was practically on fire with how Luca was speaking to Ludwig. As much as Jeremy didn’t like Ludwig too much, it felt super fucking weird outright saying it. He could deal with Ludwig and even so, Ludwig wasn’t too much of a bother or did anything to wrong him. He was just there to oversee him and make sure he wasn’t doing dumb shit, like starting fights in a supermarket. But Ludwig didn’t seem bothered by anything said still. Iinstead he just looked towards Jeremy, nodding briefly. “I’ve got the items listed down. I am ready to go vhen you are”. With that comment alone, Luca scoffed with a petty laugh.

“Is it busted or somethin’? It’s hardly noticed my ass here in front of it!”

Waving his hand up in Ludwig’s face, Luca grinned before shoving him back roughly, clearly wanting a reaction. Jeremy felt something twist in his gut. How Luca was out right being the aggressor here… he instinctively stepped forward, nudging Luca harshly on the side. “Dude what the hell? You tryin’ to cause shit to go down?”

Luca seemed a bit awestruck, jaw dropping slightly at seeing Jeremy stand up for an Android. He seemed to just stare at him before giving a loud laugh, shaking his head as he patted Jeremy’s arm a bit hard before speaking out in a taunting manner. “No way in hell am I watching little league Jeremy stand up for a fucking robot. Are you sure you’re still the same Jeremy I once knew?” 

Ludwig watched as Luca seemed to poke at Jeremy, his face a flushed red due to either embarrassment or…anger. Ludwig could tell whatever was going on, struck a nerve in Jeremy enough for him to step up to say something. Both face to face now, Jeremy stood his ground. 

“What are ya doin’ man? You know I don’t want any issues with you. You really gonna stand here and defend a machine who’s just standing around babysitting your ass?”

Remaining silent, Jeremy stared hard at Luca, trying to form words in his head, anything to let the tension die down… but that didn’t seem enough for his friend. It felt like the silence alone was enough of an answer for Luca, given as he scoffed and looked towards the side in disbelief. Stepping back from Jeremy, he held his hands up, as if he was defeated in a way. “Let it be known, Jeremy from little league has stood up to me, an actual human being, for the sake of his dear Android pet”. Jeremy balled his hands into fists, watching as Luca started to walk backwards, smiling towards the two casually before dropping his opened candy bag on the ground. 

“Jeremy, when you get some sense back into your mind, come back yeah? I think you being out here around these pieces of junk is really getting to you, man”

With a final look, Luca drew up his hood and turned to leave. Jeremy wanted to reach out, to say something to help calm his friend… but he didn’t. Instead, he let the other walk out, leaving the two of them to clean up the candy mess on the floor. 

It was silent for a beat before Ludwig moved to go and pick up the mess along the floor. That was until Jeremy stopped him, giving a small indirect look before getting to his knees, scooping the bits of candy into the dropped bag on the floor. He didn’t speak, nor did he want to look at Ludwig just yet. He was holding his breath, not once wanting Ludwig to worry over him, or even ask if he was alright. But man, did it fucking hurt to see his highschool bestfriend walk out on him, especially with an exist like that. It sucked to know how bad Luca was of Androids. Hell, he wasn’t too fond of Androids… at least, he thinks so. He didn’t know how to feel with Androids just yet, given how none of the Androids actually did any bad shit, apart from taking jobs. But most of those jobs were jobs people didn’t fill. It was all very difficult though…

Ludwig watched as Jeremy closed the bag as best he could before putting it in the cart, hands now moving into his pockets. He didn’t want to speak still, his gaze now along the floor as he let out a muffled sigh.

[plounce]

as someone whos played ffxiv for almost 8 years now i gotta say its SO exciting to see youve started playing. i really enjoy seeing you talking about trc and kurofai (unfortunately i know absolutely nothing about xmen so it goes right over my head) and so im excited to see any thoughts you have about the ffxiv story and characters!

HEEHEEHEE. most of my ffxivposting has been in a thread on my twt priv, but after the recent botslaughter im gonna try and move it over here.

im at the beginning of stormblood. here are my thoughts:

as i said previously, in ARR i was very meh on alphinaud. i have a grudge against his ARR va (due to critical role), i was like "WHY are we starting a PARAMILITARY ORG", and i was kind of like hey. im playing a 6ft tall elf lady with a huge axe. you fancy little twerp dont boss me around. the end of ARR was soooo crazy and good though, really kicked the plot into gear for me, and those cutscenes were like WHOA!! OMG THE GUY FROM THE BEGINNING CUTSCENE... and in heavensward he became my little boy. because he basically reversed all the things i didnt really like about him. new VA. constant regret and shame about the crystal braves. and everyone was like awww hahaha youre a nice little boy. and he is. he is a boy. and he's polite. and he got a new outfit that covered his midriff, which i appreciated.

minfillia... im sorry. her VA was so insanely bad. and i never really DID anything with her that made me feel attached to her. she felt very bland and generic. i was like okay cool 👍 see ya. i also think her outfit was so blaaaahhhh like it gave me girl next door final fantasy character, NOT leader of an NGO, which would have been more appealing to me.

y'shtola: one of my mutuals is constantly posting her very cute WoL/yshtola fanart and i thought i would like a bit more than i presently do... i like her! i just feel like she hasnt gotten to do very much that isnt going "hmm.. aether." i think it's delightful that she shares a VA with sera from dragon age. bitches with bangs 4 lesbians

urianger: when i first saw urianger i was aghast. i was like. PEOPLE ARE HORNY FOR THAT THING? but now that ive seen more of his shb/edw outfit im like aha i see. you have gender. you're either like "do not perceiveth me" or "dripping with gold in a lightweight backless gown". i really enjoyed his undercover outfit with the WoD. i don't think he did anything wrong. he was like "yeah i did lie to everyone and help manipulate events to send minfilia to a different data center. i feel absolutely awful about it, i wish my trolley problem principles had not made me deceiveth thou all, i am a horrible villain, pray do not feel compelled to forgive me" and i was like nah youre good 👍 like she isnt DEAD. plus he always tried to help me a little bit when he could. i like his funny voice. i like how in ARR he was voiced by fenris dragonage. take those goggles and hood off again mx tism

tataru: if lalafells didn't look like that. i would be shipping my WoL with her. i think she is so cute and fun and a delight. she is a joy. my girl JUGGLES!!!!! she makes OUTFITS!!!!!!!!! she has A KETTLE WITH A FANCY NAME!!!!!!!!!! and she works so hard. im so glad she got to come with us to ishgard. she is my joy. my light...

thancred: i have heard tell that he really leaves behind his initial lothario characterization, and i really have not seen it in forever, which made ARR thancred perfectly fine to me. i was prepared for him to be much more egregious. i wish i knew him a bit better before he got possessed. i was like oh okay! yeah i guess i havent seen him in a while. which made me sad because i love possession storylines i think they are so juicy. his ponytail and rattee (like a ratstache but a goatee) are funny to me. thancred nakey images were funny. there was a moment towards the end of hvw when he came back and i talked to him in ishgard between convos with nobles and he said stuff that was very commiserating and i was like okay i have decided you and my WoL are complaining friends. sipping the haterade together. i think he's like 5'7". like with alphinaud, the character development in this game has really surprised me with how effective it feels. i look forward to seeing him grimly yet compassionately fail forward even more. and to be a single dad. aforementioned mutual (who i know through klapollo) is into thancred/urianger so im also looking forward to confining them into the yaoi compartment

cid: HE IS MY FRIEND :) i love how he's a short king. i like how he was simply like "fascism and imperialism are bad. i am going to go fight against it by building big airships :)" no qualms no struggle just knew what was right and went and did it. he's like a gay older coworker who you go out for drinks with sometimes and invites you to barbeques. i enjoy him and nero's turbodivorce saga.

alisaie: i completely forgot to do all the bahamut raids in ARR so when she showed up post-hvw i was like oh it's time for the girltwin! and she was like "oh we've worked together already :)" and i was like oh god. we only had one conversation. oops. so far i think she's a delight. i have heard that she's a bit of a lesbo. good for her. love that she gets a sword and she gets to be the mean one of the two twins. i cant wait for her little red jacket. looking forward to more >:)

krile: have not seen much of her so far but i LOVE how she has a cloak with cat ears, so cute. LOVE how she teases alphinaud. im like yes... shared character history... quite fun...

ysayle: I LOVE YOU DRAGON ELSAGARD I LOVE YOUUUUUU BIIIIIIIIITCH... I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU. i love her style. i love her political convictions. i love her gap moe with the moogles. i think my WoL had a crush on her. i think it's messed up that during the scene where the WoL and alphinaud are prying the eyes off of estinien, she touches alphinaud's hand. she should be touching MY HAND!!!!!!!!!!!! all love to haurchefaunt but I BONDED WITH HER.

estinien: i know many people like estinien. every time he spoke a word at ysayle i felt like a barking like her guard dog. DONT YOU SPEAK TO MY GIRL IN THAT TONE YOU BROODYBOY SMELLMAN. SHUT UP. i assume he softens up now that he is retired from All That. i thought his relationship with alphinaud was very sweet - i liked when he taught alphinaud how to gather firewood. i think my WoL only tolerates estinien because alphinaud is so attached.

haurchefant: i was still barely reading dialogue in ARR when he was introduced. so he showed up and was like OMG HI AGAIN BESTIE!!!!!! and i was like oh! that man! one of my friends is gaymarried to him so he's like my gay brother-in-law. i am a lesbian and my WoL is also a lesbian so we were hagging/tyking (dyke tyke) out with each other. the facial animation on the WoL when he croaks was astoundingly good. i call him horsey

aymeric: well he certainly is competent, principled, and nice. one of the more handsome elezen men in the game. i know he's implied playersexual so i really need him to stop inviting me to dinner because i have had conversations with dude friends like that before and it is so painfully awkward. i think it is great that he committed fratricide AND popecide. wahoo!

lyse: i really enjoyed yda. yknow. i thought she was such a fun cockney karate bimbo. i didn't know she was lyse. i've heard about lyse. and how she is conspicuously the only blonde blue-eyed ala mhigan. and how she is a source of some of the collar-tugging politics in stormblood. sigh. so. i am now burdened with her.

raubahn: I LOVE RAUBAHNNNNNNNNNN I LOVE HIMMMM i love how he has a small adult son. i love how he is trying so hard. i love how he is so righteous and hardworking. the misery lolorito and ilberd put him through during hvw made me so mad on his behalf. when lolorito was like "oh, how we laughed at how upset you were!" i was like RAUBAHN. HE IS THE PERFECT HEIGHT FOR YOU TO JUST PUNT ACROSS THE TOWN SQUARE. PUNT HIM RAUBAHN. YOU DESERVE IT. and i love a one-armed king. kurogane swag

lucia: i think she is cool and fun. hahaha dont potentially be in love with aymeric queen youre so hot and cool and butch

matoya: SHE'S SO COOL. I LOVE HER DESIGN. HER VOICE ACTING. AND HER RUDENESS. AND OF COURSE THE FROGS

moenbryda: i thought she was so fun and cool. i was like cool!! new character!! big funny woman i love it!! and then near bluefog she dished about her childhood a little and i was like... is that a deathflag. and it was :(

okay thats all the npcs i can think to have anything to say about.

i was pleasantly surprised by the way that lalafells are not the lolibait/shotabait i had grimly prepared for them to be. they are just short funny guys for the most part. moving past that, i then got slammed into by the giant brick that says "BEAST TRIBES". i heard that the new writer has made their writing a lot better (apparently the alliance leaders acknowledge that they have been basically been doing genocide on these sentient beings, which is helping me push forward through stuff)! i do their quests really regularly because i like helping them out. i would really love to see someone with more expertise on the subject write about the presentation of indigenous peoples in ffxiv, because i think that there is a lot going on that is vital to critically inspect.

i have to go eat dinner now. but i will try to post more thoughts on here as i have them >:)

Ok so ik ive been inactive for a *WHILE* and im srry for that but like i have a buncha things that happened these past 3 months that I NEED To share SOOOO....

First things first, the one im most excited abt: I DID MY FIRST PERFORMANCE!!! My school was doing little mermaid jr and I got Scuttle! I was really happy to get my first role and getting at least one solo, and Im just happy overall on how it went! I think I did really good on my first try! Only bad thing was that now im kinda going through my lil mermaid hyperfixation and have been looking up fics where Sebastian and Ariel kinda have a Father/Parental Figure-Daughter or Older Brother-Younger (stupid but ultimately well meaning) Sister dynamic and have started to write a fic on that bc no ones done it before apparently😒(im going cray cray, bonkers mayhaps)

Might've gotten my eye infected(I live in the east of the us, new york to be more specific and woke up the day after the "live vintage (BLAME CANADA/j) filter" with my right eyes nerves slightly more irritated and haven't gotten that checked out so thats fun)

FINALLY finished that one drawing ive been making for 3 MONTHS.(well, technically....)

Almost done writing my passion project, AKA the one I originally wanted to make into an animated series but have settled for a book just in case that can't happen! I still need to work out some kinks, design more outfits, get all their personalities in check, make sure the world and magic is fully fleshed out, ect.

I also do band, and while I originally thought that I would have a problem bc of both band and theatres close scheduling(i originally had dress rehearsal on june 2nd, AND my band concert on June 2nd) but it all worked out in the end! My band concert went great, and while the dress rehearsal was a mess, we at least got through it! :)

Unintentionally quit SH! I was originally only meant to stop until AFTER performances, but ive been bettering myself and learned that if I ever want to forgive myself or at least move on I gotta stop feeling sorry for myself and not forget nor forgive, but remember, i just can't let it haunt me. I know I'll relapse, I always do eventually, but I want to enjoy these few moments of mental "clarity" while I can. I've also learned that for some reason i tend to become a more terrible person and despicable person the more time I spend at home with my mother, so that's fun. God, I hate America's education system, its messed me up BAD. AND the foster care system. I just tried to kms 2 times today, and she didn't even notice, or care. How sad is that?

On a lighter note, yes, as the rest of yt and TikTok, I got a minor lil hyperfixation on the Lorax and really think ppl should make more [PLATONIC] Lorax and Onceler dynamics, mainly the type where they're like some really annoying pair of bickering siblings or a father whos sick of his adopted child's shit, like there is so much on the table for platonic fluff and angst and most of what I've seen is romantic smut and fluff like CHANGE IT UP A LIL

Also, Ive been going to karaoke centers on Tuesdays and have become a lot more confident to performing in front of ppl! So far, I've performed "All You Wanna Do", "The Ballad of Jane Doe", "Heart of Stone", and am gonna do "What the World Needs" the next upcoming Tuesday, where I'm gonna try interacting with the audience while singing!!

(Also, before I end this....I may have ADHD??? my teacher who has ADHD says some of my behavior is "similar to hers"(i feel like thats just her way of saying i reek of neurodivergency) and I also did some research and I display similar/exact behaviors listed, have taken online tests from doctorate confirmed sites and basically all of them said to go get a diagnosis. I also found I do a few behaviors similar to stimming! Also also, I kinda suspect a lil more bc my mom has Autism and apparently sometimes neurodivergency is biological (i forgor the word) but my mom is kinda in denial abt my Depression diagnosis and thinks I got anxiety "biologically", so if I tell her I wanna get tested for ADHD shes just kinda gonna gaslight me into not believing that and i already told the school therapist and basically she just told me that I'm probably just imagining things or copying behaviors from my mother and that "kids like to give themselves all these titles nowadays" so I just did what I always do which is to keep it shut and act until they think you fell in line)

So yeah, thats all! Thanks for reading, now that my schedule is clear again ima start posting more frequently again, so be aware :) <3333

[battlekilt]

what do you think tintin and 67 would dress up as if they got to do halloween?

Hmm. Kamino Tintin and Sixty-seven or Reborn Tintin and Sixty-seven? I'll do both, though I think Kamino them would be a tad boring.

Kamino—

TINTIN would probably dress up as #2224 just to be an ass and boss around everyone around exaggeratedly. He'd filch a supervisory cadet's uniform, make a fake badge. Yes, Cody would hold a grudge. No, Fox would never be sorry. He'll grow up convinced he was a comical genius.

SIXTY-SEVEN would probably dress up as a Kaminoan fishmama. So, they'll ask for a lab coat—Nala Se can't refuse one of her tadpoles. 99 would resize it to fit. They'd find white paint, that would likely be not very good for the kid's skin, and paint him. I just know it ends with Boba crying that HE wants a costume, too—now they are trying to make armor out of cardboard and packing material from the cargo areas.

REBORN-DEAGED

TINTIN—Fox would definitely be a some kind of tooth fairy. The kid is obsessed with teeth, and he's just weird. He and Fordo ended up flapping around together, which is good... because other than the genetic enhancements Fordo got after he was hatched, the two are practically genetic-twins—Fox came from the spare material that made Fordo, after all.

SIXTY-SEVEN—Rex is definitely a little Admiral. He knows he's supposed to be a soldier, but the only kind of military they know anymore is the Navy guys. Plus, that Yularen always brings some great candy, and Rex enjoyed the one time he went with Cody to stay a couple of nights with that Forsil guy. He practiced his salute for soooo long. Tarkin hated it, Yularen couldn't stop taking pictures. Look, the kid is cute, okay? Anakin had an appropriately made version of a little enlisted sailor, who saluted tiny Admiral Rex back.

BONUS

CODY is Vos. Just to make Obi-Wan groan. But, he actually ends up having a lot of fun getting his costume together. Vos gave him books about Vos's homeplanet, and Cody loves books. He got to learn things about the culture, and picked up pieces of language from his planet. He was taught how to make the face paint Vos's people wear before they earn their tattoos. Padme provided the materials for the wig, and Vos taught Cody how to make the locks and what they mean. After this, Vos DEFINITELY becomes Cody's favorite Jedi. At this point, Obi-Wan has accepted his fate.

WOLFFE spent too much time baking and making candies with Plo and Plo's niece to do much for his costume. That's okay, Plo had prearrangements. He had a little Chef's outfit made for Wolffe, complete with extra pockets to stow away candy from Fox's filching little fingers.

FIVES is Princess Ahsoka. Not really much to tell. Think, Disney Princess, dressed by the Amidalan handmaidens, but... Ahsoka. He sobbed with how pretty his headtails were. Fives cries easily.

ECHO was Chancellor Palpatine because he thought it was hilarious. The Chancellor... didn't think so much. He hates these kids and their sneaky Jedi, too.

WAXER & BOIL came to visit with Numa. Her Basic has gotten better, by the way. They were dressed as Ryloth rebels! Painted head to two, complete with fingerprints, and smears streaks.

JESSE is a podracer. Anakin helped him learn how to mimic the noises correctly.

KIX went as a Jedi, but wearing a mask sort of like Plo Koon and a cane like Yoda. He went around bonking his brothers on the head when they got stupid. So, there were a lot of little heads with bumps on top.

THORN & WOOLEY dressed up as Senate Guards. Riyo's family had really nice outfits made for them. Be proud of them, they learned to stand still for a whole eight minutes before they begin to squirm. Usually Wooley, who is younger, so that's okay. Riyo is still proud of him.

NEYO went as a droid. No one asked him where he out the chassis. But, he could navigate in it and everything. There were a lot of shins that got bumped, though.

BACARA got too nervous and chickened out from wearing a costume. Mundi got him to at least wear a nice set of robes, that Bacara ended up loving because they were soft and fluffy, and if he spun in place they billowed around him.

FORDO went as a lightfly—kind of part butterfly and part firefly. He did a lot of arm flappies.

SEVENTEEN went as a saberjowl because he got to scream at people. He didn't expect for Fox to yell back at him so loudly. He has to admit, Windu's little runt has some lungs on him.

LAST OF ALL—

BOBA & OMEGA* went as Clone Troopers. Omega was a little ARC with a lovely tiny Alpha kama that also twirled around her when she spun in circles. Her colors were dark grey, pink, and a lovely aqua. Boba went as a member of the 212th—Obi-Wan almost sobbed. The costumes were definitely hard to have made, but... Nala Se got it done. * They were not de-aged. But they help a lot with the little Clones. Omega is usually back on Kamino with Nala Se, but she spends a lot of time back at the Temple, so she and Boba have grown close.

I’m partially using this as an excuse to let out these ideas that have been pinging around my brain

I tend to keep certain things in mind when coming with outfits/glams for my characters, so this is all just nonsense about what fashion tastes I assign to them

Tyr is more understated. He doesn’t like calling attention to himself and it’s reflected in what he wears. Casually I put him in something more for fitted but not revealing or just what I feel like is the fantasy fashion equivalent of a nice t shirt. The shirt I tend to doodle him in is deadass just a rip of that shirt from the Netflix witcher where Geralt is fishing around in the lake. The dalmascan top is more of a workout shirt/ “it’s really hot out here but I don’t want to be bare chested” top.His armor got a little more ornate as he’s gotten through expacs, but I still try to keep it simple and with more plate than fabric.

The operative word for Monroe is loose. Point shirts, long jackets, that sort of thing. She gets more accessories/ jewelry. I tend to giver her silver/black more than gold since she’s got a lot of warm tones going on already and silver and a colder black/gray stands out more. More willing to show skin than Tyr, mostly in the chest area than anywhere else. She’s predominantly ranged so there’s not much difference between casual and armor.

Both of them lean more masculine for fashion, so skirts/ dresses are not really in their usual attires/ in their comfort.

Freya is the most feminine. She wears mostly skirts/dresses. She not like opposed to pants, but it’s more of “if there’s no other choice” option. Also has a preference for loose. I would describe her taste as cottagecore/elegant. I personally don’t dress in her degree of feminine so it’s a little harder to pick out for me.

Kuzhuk is the least caring about his fashion. All he wants is for it to fit and not be restrictive. He doesn’t wear a shirt or many accessories. Not opposed to skirts, he just doesn’t think about them much.

Oooooh I love fashion analysis!! Poor Tyr already stands out in Eorzea, so I'm sure he doesn't need to attract more attention by being a flashy dresser. Tyr definitely feels like, in a more modern setting, he would be a "Jeans and a T-shirt" guy - in a good way. (Though horns might make putting on a t-shirt problematic...) I think the shirt you mentioned is a good fantasy equivalent - and it seems like it clasps or button or laces or something to make it easier to put on.

There are a pretty good number of secondary and tertiary characters in FFXIV that are always seen wearing armor or otherwise uncomfortable formal clothing that they probably don't wear all the time, and I semi-regularly wonder what they wear in their free time when they're not wearing armor or a uniform....

Monroe has good taste I looove some of the long jackets in FFXIV. The fact that a lot of her accessories are silver is an interesting choice! I feel like some people might go with gold because it's closer to the warm tones in her color scheme, but I like the way the silver pops. I've also always liked all of Monroe's piercings. Long Viera ears means there are soooo many possibilities for piercings!

Freya definitely looks like she could pull off flowy, drape-y, feminine dresses dresses and skirts! (She's lucky she's a viera and therefore tall lol). The options in-game for actual dresses is a little limited, but I can envision it very well nonetheless.

Kuzhuk is valid for never wanting to wear a shirt. Hopefully he doesn't get sunburned.... Sunburn is also something I think about a lot in-game/in fantasy settings in general. Probably because I'm the type of person who gets a sunburn if they so much as glance at the sun through a window. It's bad enough that when I was in elementary school some other kids started a rumor that i was a vampire because if I spent too much time in the sun at recess i would get a sun poisoning rash... Kuzhuk seems like he's probably better equipped to deal with it, though!

i hope that's not the album cover... louis' designs are always so cool his merch festival posters i love them all soooo much but this album cover is not as good

Anonymous asked: God not another boring album cover and with the same aesthetic as walls too where Is the creativity Jesus Christ

Assuming the cover is real, which I do, I’m not going to lie....I don’t really get the level of hate toward it. I think it is A MILLION times better than Walls, which was just an absolutely horrible debut album cover. Between the tacky, school picture day background, Louis’ pose, his expression, his outfit, the overall color scheme....nothing about it would draw anyone’s attention in a positive way or make them want to pick it up, in my opinion.

I don’t think this one is perfect, but I do think it’s a lot better than that. I like that it’s a close up of his face. I think he looks pretty. I love the turtleneck. I actually don’t mind the color scheme, and to the point that it’s the same aesthetic as Walls - it’s not really? It’s the same aesthetic as his tour, which I think evolved from where he was with Walls. And his tour only just concluded, so I think it makes sense that his next era would still fit with what he’s been doing recently. If COVID-19 hadn’t happened and he’d dropped the album, then done tour, then had a year off to work on the album, and then put the new album out, I would expect the album cover to reflect a different era more.

I think the half shadow/half light on his face is kinda cool and that it can be viewed as him sort of looking toward that future, maybe representing him stepping out of the shadows and leaving the past behind. I honestly don’t even mind the font, but I know a lot of people think it looks too much like something a fan could do, and I can understand that perspective.

I will say that I am tired of Louis’ very serious vibe. I think it would be nice to have more of his optimism and softness reflecting in his album photos and photoshoots because we’ve pretty much always just gotten photos where he looks miserable or very serious. Particularly with an album with a title talking about having faith in the future, it would make more sense to have some joy in his expression. It’s always been so odd how counter his photo aesthetic is with who he actually is as a human being. I think a large part of that is his and his team’s desire to try to mold him after Liam Gallagher, which may make sense when it comes to music, but simply does not make sense in terms of Louis’ personality which is mostly very soft and bright with a few hard edges.

So yeah, I don’t hate the album cover, but I do definitely think they could have done a much better job with it considering how strong his merch and other design ideas are. I wonder why they didn’t.

Soooo i have no idea how I noticed this, esp because I wasn't looking for it. But in Garrett's funeral when c appears to help w Angela's bit, I saw that she's wearing those black jeans of hers that I always liked but they fit even better. I then noticed she's wearing a belt w it which I don't think I've seen her do before. The belt is a slim fit and matted down black leather belt with a pretty simplistic design, traditionally sold to men for dress pants. She looks great.

I really think it's the same as s's suit pants belt from the gala. Obv the funeral was filmed a while ago so maybe he had shopped for his gala outfit and gotten a belt or two and she borrowed it because she likes to wear his stuff but also we know she loves to defy the gender binary when it comes to style. Not a huge spot, but I thought it was cute

HOLY SMOKE. You're right it's pretty much the same design. Here's the comparison.

[thepalmofyourfreezinghand]

What’s your honest opinion on atw short film?

I found it undeveloped like the characters were a bit 1-dimensional (the only reason I felt for them is because I knew Taylor’s history and heard all the songs she wrote about him) and I personally wouldn’t call it a film it was very clearly an mv. I’m nervous about her directorial debut because so far I disliked her self-directed mvs. While her songwriting is complex and intriguing, her directing doesn’t really convey that. I mean in recent years the only mv I’ve liked of her is ibytam and it’s not directed by her.

I wish she started with only writing the script and then moved on to directing. It seems too ambitious but I hope I’m proven wrong.

Personally I’m not the biggest fan of the ATW short film either, BUT I think that Taylor is a good director and that Anti-Hero is her best MV to date and an instance in which she was able to convey what she wanted to say in a subtle and artistic way. I also feel like she’s gotten soooo much better from The Man until now, although there have been a few missteps along the way (like, the lack of nuance in I Can See You is staggering, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that fans talked about the Lautner’s cameo and the old outfits/Easter eggs more than they talked about the video itself, and everybody moved on pretty quickly from it).

IBYTAM is amazing, and Blake did an outstanding job at her own debut, and I think that most fans would agree that it’s better directed than most of Taylor’s self-directed mv.

But I also think that Taylor had a couple of honestly great directorial ideas in ATW that went over a lot of fans’ head (mine included), and that she later explained at the TFF. For example, I love the way it’s the guy who gifts her the typewriter she later uses to tell her own story, and it’s a little detail that she managed to hide in an intelligent way. There’s also the fact that the story ends with the pov of the guy, we see her through his eyes, and so it’s his story too, not only hers, and you can’t help but feel for him…

All in all, I’m not the short film biggest fan, but I like it (and Sadie was amazing in it).

I’m excited about her full length movie directorial debut and I actually think she has the potential to do something really special! What I’m afraid about is her writing a novel, and I hope that day never comes haha.

(I also HATE it when fans try to say that it’s pathetic that she promotes her videos/movies to try and win prestigious prizes - she’s a pro and she’s always pushing herself to be better, she’s allowed to want her work to be recognized).

Delicate

This is technically a sequel to last year’s Dad Mirio fic but can be read on its own! Everyone’s favorite Wholesome Dilf continues to live rent-free in my brain.

“I miss you soooo much,” Mirio says for the fifth time in the past twenty minutes. You give him a comforting smile from your side of the screen, you know how he feels. Your husband’s been gone for three days now helping with a disaster in Osaka, and he probably won’t be home for the rest of the week. It’s hard being married to one of Japan’s top heroes, you think to yourself. You wish you could be there with him, putting your training to good use where it’s needed, but your current assignment is too important to ignore. It’s as if he can read your mind from the other side of the country. “How’s my buddy doing?”

You smile and tilt your camera down to show off your heavy stomach. At eight months pregnant, you’re sidelined from hero work no matter what the crisis is. “He’s alright,” you confirm. “I think he’s bored without you around, though.” He lets out a little whine that’s almost heartbreaking; it’s obvious where he’d rather be right now. You take pity on him and drop the phone level with your belly to give him a better view. 

“Hey buddy,” he coos. “I promise, I’ll finish as fast as I can so I can come home to you and Mama soon.” You feel movement inside you as he talks. You don’t know how good your baby’s hearing is, especially through the video chat, but you’re sure that he’s reacting to his father’s familiar voice. “I can’t wait to get back and feel how strong you’re kicking in there. I bet you’re driving Mama crazy!” You relax further into your pillows and let him babble on to your bump about his day saving civilians and clearing out rubble, only a little lonely when you look over at the empty half of your bed. You really do miss him, your house is far too quiet and calm without his usual energy filling it.

You yawn after a few more minutes and glance at the time. “Sorry, it’s getting kinda late. Would you mind if we called it a night for now?”

He smiles, but you can tell that he’s trying to hide his disappointment. “No problem, I know you need your sleep. We’ll talk again tomorrow, okay?” You agree and tell your husband you love him before hanging up the phone and settling in for bed. You’re tired, but you’ve gotten too comfortable with him sleeping beside you and it takes awhile to fall asleep on your own.

You spend the next morning balancing your laptop over your swollen belly while you browse through maternity clothes. There’s a local shop that promises same-day delivery, and you treat yourself to a few things for your last month. You read through your email, a magazine wants a quick interview for an article about hero families and you’re happy to answer their questions. It’s hard to move too much in your condition, but you make sure to do the prenatal exercises your doctor recommended and then have a nice long shower. Your new clothes arrive and you leave them on the dresser for now while you eat lunch and call your family. It still seems too quiet in the house without Mirio, and you’re getting bored when your phone finally rings and your face lights up at his name.

“Hey sweetheart! I’ve got a surprise for you!”

You can hear the smile in his voice and it warms your heart. “Is it dinner? I think somebody in here’s really craving steak tonight.”

He laughs. “You’ll see. Just have a seat on the couch and close your eyes for a second, okay?”

This isn’t the weirdest thing he’s requested over the phone, and you obey. “Alright, they’re closed. What are you planning, Lemillion?”

“You can open your eyes in three...two...one…” his voice disappears from the phone, all you hear is the background noise of birds chirping.

“Mirio?” Your eyes are still closed.

“SURPRISE!” 

You jump in shock and drop your phone, your eyes flying open. He’s standing in front of you with the biggest grin on his face, completely naked. It takes you a second to realize he must have phased through the front door to surprise you. You struggle to stand but fail, and he has to pull you up himself into his arms for a deep kiss. “You’re home early! How’d you manage that?”

“The others knew how much I wanted to get home, with you being pregnant and all, and everybody worked extra hard to cover for me so I could leave first.” You owe every single one of them a thank you gift. “Boy, that Uravity is amazing with rescue work!” Oh, you owe her twice as much after this.

“I’m glad you’re home,” you sigh happily. Your husband drops to his knees in front of you and pushes your shirt up to kiss your stomach, rubbing his hand where he feels a faint kick.

“Me too. I missed our family so much.” His arms wrap around you and he rests his head against your middle. You run your fingers through his hair, both of you taking a minute to relish your little reunion. It’s only been a few days, but it was more than enough to make you homesick for each other.

He stands back up after a bit and you head for the hallway. “You should go grab your phone off the porch and take a shower. I’ve got a bit of a surprise for you too, when you’re done.” He’s happy to obey and you follow him down the hall, pausing at the front door then into the bedroom. You wait for the bathroom door to shut and then spring into action as fast as you can. You clothes come off; you kick them under the bed instead of wasting precious time trying to pick them off the floor. 

You reach for the new clothes on the dresser and find the outfit you’d picked for his welcome home gift. The bra is made out of soft white lace so flimsy it looks like it’ll tear if you breathe too hard. It ties closed with a ribbon in the front and your clumsy fingers finally form a decent bow on the third try. A skirt attaches beneath the cups and just skims your thighs, the two halves of it parted to show off your obvious pregnancy. You’re lucky that the matching underwear ties on the sides with more ribbon; you’re not sure you’d be able to get them on without five minutes of struggling if you had to step into them. 

You look at yourself in the mirror and adjust the skirt of your lingerie. Despite the sheer fabric leaving little to the imagination, you look sweet. Innocent. Delicate. A grin spreads across your face; it’s perfect.

You get dressed just in time; you hear the shower turn off and the door opens a second later. “There, all clean and-” Mirio freezes at the sight of you and you see his fingers twitch against the towel wrapped around his waist. “Oh, wow. You look...just, wow.” He’s crossed the room faster than you can react, strong arms wrapping you in a tight, warm hug. “You’re so gorgeous like this, babe.”

You lean into his body; you’ve missed this while he was gone. “Well, it’ll be awhile before we can do this again. I figured we should really enjoy ourselves while we still can.” He nods and gives you a surprisingly gentle kiss. You can tell he’s holding back his strength for your benefit and the knowledge makes your heart flutter.

Mirio recovers from his surprise quickly and returns to his usual unstoppable energy. “I’m gonna make you feel so good, I promise!” His bigger hand is warm around yours as he guides you to your bed, losing his towel in the process. You don’t hide your staring; his body is gorgeous after so many years of training and you could look at him for hours. He sits back against the headboard and carefully brings you with him to straddle his lap, and you feel his cock already growing hard against your thigh. “We’ll take it easy,” he promises. “I know we have to be a little more gentle now since you’re so big-” You stare down at Mirio silently, but he continues. “What? You are big, that’s a good thing. You’re growing our baby in there, he needs all that room!” You just shake your head; you can’t really feel annoyed when he’s this sweet.

He looks up at you with pure affection written all over his face and leans into your touch as you run your fingers through his damp hair. “How can you be this buff and this adorable?” It’s not the first time you’ve asked as much, and every time he laughs you off with a faint blush on his cheeks. You lean in for another kiss while his hands move from your hips over your ribs to the front of your slip.

“This is so pretty, you should keep it on.” He gives your chest a squeeze and you whine, too sensitive from the hormones wrecking havoc on your body. You knew your breasts were going to get bigger, but they’ve turned out to be overachievers and you’ve jumped up two cup sizes already. “They’re still really sore, huh?” You nod and he offers you a comforting smile as he plays with the bow before finally tugging it open. Your nipples are already hard, and you don’t miss how he licks his lips when his thumb brushes over one. “I could help you with that, if you want.”

“Mirio…” You love your husband and all his enthusiasm, but you’re well aware that he can be a little too eager and get carried away. He’s being careful now as his fingers trace against your warm skin, his touch barely teasing you. He pulls you closer; you can feel the smile on his lips as he leans into your neck. He follows your pulse, down your collarbone to leave kisses at the swell of your breast and you sigh. “Okay,” you agree. “Just remember to-”

“I know, be gentle. Don’t worry babe, I’m gonna take good care of you.” He pushes your lingerie out of the way to get a better view at your heavy chest and appreciates the sight of it. “Man, our kid’s not gonna be lacking on calcium, is he?”

“I love you, please stop talking.” He laughs but obeys, his tongue flicking over your nipple and making you squirm in his arms. He does it a few times and you let out a little gasp when he takes you into his mouth. “Go easy,” you remind him, but he’s already distracted with his task. You asked your doctor about doing this before and were told it was perfectly fine, but you can’t quite shake the thought that it’s a little weird as Mirio begins to suck at your tender nipple.

You’ve tried this before, but every time he’s been too rough in his excitement and you’ve had to yank his head away from you in pain. Tonight though, he’s trying his best and after a few seconds of discomfort there’s an unfamiliar tingle deep in your breast as your body responds to his stimulation. “It feels weird,” you groan, but your fingers thread into his hair so he won’t pull away. “It’s not bad, just weird.” You’re not entirely sure you like what he’s doing, but you’re willing to continue until you figure it out. His tongue brushes over you with a slightly different motion, and something in you clicks into place. “Can you do that again? I think I liked that.”

His laughter is muffled but still obvious and you can feel the smile against your skin. Mirio’s happy to assist, one strong hand settling on your back to keep you steady. It wasn’t a mistake; he repeats his movements and you realize that it feels good. It feels really good, you have to admit, as his eyes slip closed so he can focus entirely on pleasing you like this. You hold him tight to your body, fingers running through his messy hair while you enjoy the affection so happily given. You’re still sensitive though, and after a few more minutes you start to get overwhelmed and have to pull him away.

“It tastes good.” His grin is huge as he licks his lips. “It’s sweet, just like the rest of you.” You’d roll your eyes if he wasn’t so cute. He gives your breast a gentle squeeze and earns another whimper from you, then turns his attention to the other one. “Don’t want this side feeling left out, right? Lucky I’m here to take care of everything!” Your heart skips a beat, you’re so in love with this silly, wonderful idiot. You don’t get a chance to respond, once his mouth is back on you it’s hard to do anything besides pant and whine for him.

You squirm against him, his dick pressing against your thigh and your panties doing very little to hide how much you’re loving this. “Miriooo,” you moan, and the look in his eyes is nothing but pure happiness that makes you melt. “You always take good care of me,” you coo, reaching down to stroke his cock lightly. “You’re so good to me, honey.” He pulls you closer and releases your chest to look up and meet your eyes.

“Babe, I’m just giving you what you deserve. You’re literally making a brand new, little person in there. If that’s not worth being extra nice, I don’t know what is.” He really has no idea how perfect he is. His thumb brushes over your nipple and your body is so sensitive now it makes you shudder. “Alright now?”

You stop for a second to consider. Your breasts do feel a bit lighter, there’s less pressure weighing down on you after his help. “Yeah, thanks. You’re the best, really.”

He brushes off your compliment in favor of pulling at the strings holding your underwear together. “Just doing my job, miss.” He groans at the sight of you fully naked and traces a finger along the lips of your cunt. You hadn’t noticed just how wet you were getting as he’d worked on your nipples, but now two of his fingers slip inside you with no effort. “I love you so much,” he says with another kiss.

You buck into his hand mindlessly, too eager for his touch after only a few days. You want to hold off and come with his dick buried inside you, but you can’t deny yourself when you’re this needy already. “I want it,” you whine pitifully.

His other hand gives your hip a reassuring squeeze. “I know, baby. You can have whatever you want, just tell me.” His thumb swirls over your clit and he doesn’t miss the jolt that runs down your body. “Right there, huh? My pretty little wife wants me to make her come?” His smirk is playful and there’s a glint of mischief in those friendly eyes.

“Mirio, please.” Hearing him talk like that does something to you and you hide your face in the crook of his neck.

His hand moves faster and your pussy clenches tight around his fingers. “It’s alright, I’ve got you. Just let yourself go for me.” His voice is so warm and soothing, you can’t resist. Your orgasm is marked with desperate whispers in his ear as his hand moves gently between your thighs to urge you on. “That’s it, honey. You’re so good, I want more of you.”

It takes you a minute to calm down before you’re able to pry your sweaty face away from his shoulder. His fingers leave you aching to be filled again, and you swallow hard when you watch him bring them to his mouth to lick them clean. 

“That’s my girl,” he smiles like the sun and you look away, almost embarrassed by the affection between you two. You can’t see anything past your swollen belly, but you can feel his thick cock ready for a turn. “Are you up for more? It’s fine if you need to wait-”

You fumble blindly for his cock until the tip presses just outside your cunt. “I want you inside me. Here, Mirio. Your pretty little wife wants to make you come.” The blush spreading across his face at your words is a special reward of its own. His hips thrust upward to enter you while he slowly pulls you down to meet him, and your mouth falls open in a long moan. “Fuck, Mirio. We’ll have to wait a couple weeks after he’s born and it’s gonna suck so bad.”

He hasn’t put much thought into this fact and you can practically see the gears in his head turning. “Well then, I guess we’d better make it count while we still have the chance,” he says finally. He’s always so much stronger than you, even when you’re not in such a delicate condition, and easily sets a steady pace moving you up and down his dick. You cling to his shoulders to steady yourself as you ride him, pressing your tongue into hs mouth to devour his sounds. This may be the peak of happiness, with your sweet husband pounding away inside your excited pussy, showering you with compliments about how great you are and how perfect your little family is going to be. “And once he gets a little older, we can start working on his siblings!”

Your hips falter in their rhythm at the suggestion. “S-siblings? Already?”

He grins back at you. “Of course! We need five or six, at least!”

“Five or six…” you repeat, suddenly distracted by the thought of doing this another half-dozen times. You don’t know why you’re surprised, it’d be more of a shock if he didn’t have infinite love to share. The idea doesn’t bother you, and you find yourself returning his smile with a smirk of your own. “You really wanna fill me up that much, Lemillion?”

You’re not expecting his thrusts to speed up so much or for him to pull you down so hard you’re gasping for air. “God, babe. So much. I think about it like, all the time now. You have no idea.” He stops to kiss you again, and your cunt squeezes hard around him. “I can take more time off of work,” Mirio insists mindlessly, getting far too ahead of himself. “I bet I can hold so many babies at once.”

You laugh, he’s so ridiculous sometimes. “Let’s just focus on this one for awhile, okay?” He nods, trailing his lips down your throat to feel how fast your pulse is racing for him. You can feel another orgasm building, and that he isn’t far behind. You were only apart for three days but it seems like far too long. “You’re really, really the best.”

He cups your sweaty face in one hand, the look in his eyes so soft and loving it takes your breath away. There aren’t enough words to describe how much you love him right now, and clearly it’s the same for him. Wordlessly he releases you and drags his hand down your body, stopping to tweak your nipples and making you cry out. His fingers drop to rub firmly against your clit, and your back goes rigid. “Miri-ohh. Just like that, I’m gonna...there, fuck.” You clamp down hard on his cock with a loud moan and he holds you tight, supporting your overworked body while you come. “Here,” your voice is ragged. “Your turn, I know you’re dying to come inside me.”

“You’re amazing, honey.” That last compliment is all he gets out before his pace goes sloppy and you feel him flooding your pussy with a low groan. “You’re so amazing.” 

You cling to him while he gradually wears himself out and stay wrapped up in his arms for the next few minutes. Eventually, there’s a firm kick in your belly that informs you that someone noticed all your movement and he’s not happy about it. Both of you laugh as you separate; you flop down on the bed while Mirio cleans you up and finds you a comfy, oversized shirt and fresh panties to wear. It’s still fairly early, and you won’t be tired enough to sleep for a few hours.

“Now that was a welcome home gift. You should just wear that around the house until you have the baby, it looks really great on you.”

You ruffle his messy hair. “I don’t think it would survive the entire month around you,” you tease. You stretch your arms above your head and feel a grumble in your stomach. “So, the surprise wasn’t steak for dinner tonight?”

He’s in too good of a mood to even think of denying you. “It is now!” He’s already fumbling for his phone to look up menus. “Whatever you wanna eat, just say the word!”

Sometimes you wonder how you ever got so lucky.
