Just thinking about being in a puppy love with Levi.
Like you were in high school, you just started to explore beauty products. And after a summer holiday of waiting tables, you finally got a bunch of different makeup from the drug store to try out.
You sat in your room with a playlist that you spent days creating playing on your phone, plastering colours on your face. A little concealer here and there, contouring below your cheek bones, and the blush that seems uneven on both cheeks. You swore your eyeliner was perfect but the shaky lines above your eyes said otherwise.
You turned around and asked, "how do i look?"
Levi, sitting right behind you all the time, grinned and nodded. "Gorgeous." There was a pile of stained cotton pads by one side of his folded legs and a bag of clean cotton pads and a bottle of makeup remover on the other side. Patiently, Levi had been waiting by your side for any "accidents". He read the back of the makeup remover bottle many times, still not confident that the clear bottle of cheap pungent chemicals wouldn't ruin your skin.
After smacking your bright red lips a few times, you were satisfied with your makeup. You twisted your red stick shut and dumped it into your makeup bag. You combed your hair with your fingers, looked at the mirror one last time before turning to look at Levi. He greeted you with a big smile.
"How do i look?" You asked again.
"Gorgeous." Levi grinned. And you grinned back.
"You sure I'm not weird? My face felt weird."
"No, you look gorgeous." He leaned in and kissed your forehead.
Levi did not have the heart to tell you you looked best without makeup as the proud smile on your face made him bite his tongue. So Levi watched you as you tried to explain to him about the other makeup look you would like to try next time, showing him how you blended 2 foundations together to create the perfect tone (even it clearly was not suitable to your skin tone) and he wished the summer wouldn't end.
He wished to stay in your room with music playing at the background, your happy voice explaining something that you loved and the warm yellowish sun shining through the window.

Alpine really wants those pancakes (like a father like a daughter) and no, Natasha wont trade the cats.
It's a wip stuck on coloring phase (probably forever since I suck at colors) but at the same time I have a loose idea of doing companion piece just supper themed with them being after some sort of mission and sitting in their suits.
(clear lineart below the cut as a little bonus ;)

re: your tags in your reblog about how taylor hasn't felt the need to fly back to the states during the euro leg and how travis was the one to go to her during his off season and the surprise pikachu of it all for her. think there are several things that have elicited that reaction from her where she's realized no, it didn't have to be the way it was despite maybe being made to feel the opposite at the time
Yup.
Again this is probably veering close to territory I don't/shouldn't get into on main because ultimately I don't think there's anything to add and it's all stuff we'll never know.
That being said, lol, I think there's been a lot in the last year that Taylor's discovered that has made her wonder about why she felt she needed to do things the way she did, and I don't even just mean in terms of her relationship. We've all kind of seen her blossoming in ways I suspect surprised even her.
But relationship-wise, I wouldn't be surprised if the way things seem to have felt easy and secure from the start with Travis made her wonder why it couldn't have been with other people in the past (ahem) and more than a little angry for a bit about how easy it is for her current partner to be supportive in a way that comes naturally when her previous one(s)... was(were) not. Obviously I can't speak for Taylor, but I certainly would have a moment of Petty Betty-ness for a little bit.

not to be another donations post but you may remember how over the summer we had massive amounts of plumbing problems and other unexpected moving costs? well. after proceeding to work every single hour available to me for six months, take no holidays whatsoever, and budget the hell out of every aspect of my life, I was actually on track to pay everything back and maybe have a little bit of wiggle room by the time summer came around!
and then we got a call from the vet about routine labs saying that if we didn't take Suzy in to an emergency specialty hospital immediately, she would die within in a week, she might die anyways if we took her there, but it was our only chance to have a few more months with her. after an extremely difficult household discussion, we decided that we needed to do as much as we could for her. she's been a beloved member of the family for 18 years. we were not going to abandon her in her hour of need.
with two days at the specialty hospital, the prognosis was better than we could have possibly hoped! the most important thing is she does not have heart problems at all, which means that we can treat her chronic kidney disease with normal IV fluids and with careful treatment she could easily be with us for years to come. the timely intervention also may or may not have saved her from acute kidney failure too, we'll know when we go back to the vet on Wednesday to get her blood checked where her levels have stabilized at.
two days at the specialty hospital means we are also down $3652 , and no longer are on track to pay back everything by July when it comes due unless a couple of uncertain things going forward Go Right, I do not trust everything to Go Right, and we're also still uncertain about what long-term treatment going forward is going to cost.
I still have my ko-fi and my patreon, but honestly, I'm aware that everything is tight for everyone always and there are also a lot of causes that need money right now and in the face of that "hey my family went super out on a limb to try to save our cat and would love some help not falling off" feels kind of shallow. but like. not to sound dumb or like a youtuber or podcaster, but, like. honestly I think the Most Helpful Thing that anyone could do for me right now is take a fucking HelloFresh link that will send you a "free" box for cost-of-shipping ($7ish?) if you Sign Up For An Account that you can then cancel Immediately After The Box Has Shipped and Never Give Them Any More Money Than That and get Six To Ten Meals Out Of It, and for getting someone to "sign up", they will give me a free box too. like. if 13 people are willing to take a link then I don't need to worry about food for the next three months. which would be. HUGE.
so I guess.... dm me if you want a link? otherwise expect to see a lot of promotion of my writing/ patreon as I scramble the hell to try to make this money up
