Sorry i got so excited to ask questions i forgot to specify but maybe a drabble for 3, 6 and 19. And a drawing for 18. But if you feel specifically inspirred to do something different im not complaining. Love these goobers so any kind of romaunce content is a win for me😁

Hey-hey, Edd! 💖 Tysm for the ask, I'll cover all the numbers, I promise! ✨😭✨ These are very interesting topics for me, so count it as part 1/?. :3 I'll tag your main and your new @acesandocs acc so you won't miss it. <3

I hope you meant numbers from that list, but if you meant the other - DM me, please.

I'll start with the number 19, "Who tells their family/friends about their relationship first?"

And I came up with two ideas, so I post the two-parts answer in a row. Because I headcanon that it's Freckle who was the first one to suspect his cousin develops feelings for a certain Italian waitress, but technically the one who got the confirmed information about Rocky's and Mau's relationship would've been Augusto. So I did both.

First story will be from the Freckle's side. I once started to do a comic from it, but gave it up. So now behold this ancient scenario in a ficlet. :D

The Right Moment

“And what a pizza they have!”

“Pizza?”

“Yeah, sugary pizza!”

“Is this... thing really worth it?” Calvin sighed, deciding not to clarify what that ridiculous phrase meant.

“Oh, true ambrosia. You'll be flabbergasted!��� Rocky exclaimed, keeping up his pace. Calvin felt that he had been trying to catch up with his cousin through the streets of St. Louis for about an hour, and he feared that he was going to spend just as long on the heat as he already had, but fortunately Rocky finally turned around the corner and confidently swung open the blue door of the little eatery. Calvin followed him inside and found Rocky waiting at the counter, but finding no one at it, he sat down at the table that was nearest to the entrance, placed his fedora against the wall, and drummed his fingers impatiently on the countertop. Calvin sat down across the table and studied the details of the unassuming establishment. Since when had Rocky developed such a fondness for Italian cuisine…?

“Why, if it isn't Mister Rickaby himself!” A lively woman's voice with a quavering “r” sounded over Calvin's ear.

“Miss Maura,” Rocky grinned. “How else could it be? Your cozy place is an oasis that shelters travelers from the scorching sun. I've even rescued one suffering man along the way. Working for the good of your enterprise, so to speak. Meet my cousin, Freckle.”

“Freckle?”

“Calvin. McMurray,” he habitually corrected Rocky, and finally turned around, meeting his gaze with the tall, young Italian woman. Calvin stared at her face and lean figure, but by the time he realized he was doing it for too long, thankfully, she was already looking at Rocky.

“We'll have two glasses of lemonade, please, your incomparable sugary pizza…”

“And a sandwich, please. Any kind. Not sweet,” Calvin added hastily.

“Not sweet? Are you sure he's your cousin, Rocky?”

“Oh, yeah, he is. He just doesn't realize what he's missing,” he waved it away. “You know for yourself that pizza's an undoughbtfully subtle thing.”

Mau laughed out loud.

“Oh, come on. I'm the one who knows batter that it’s just your oven self that works on a different fuel.”

“Hey!” Rocky chuckled with feigned indignation, but Maura was already heading past the tables toward the kitchen. Calvin stayed silent as he watched Rocky's eyes on the girl. He didn't say a word when Rocky again engaged the waitress in banter when she returned with the order. He preferred not to evaluate the flavor of the monstrous slice that was aptly called ‘sugary pizza’, but the sandwich and lemonade were very good indeed. Calvin kept his mouth shut even when Rocky, leaning against the counter, took a few good minutes to say goodbye to Mau. Only on their way back to the Little Daisy Café he surrendered to his curiosity.

“So… about that ‘sugary pizza’.”

“What, do you regret not trying it after all? I knew it! I knew you'd bite your head off. Well, I'll ask Miss Maura make more next time.”

“Next time, yeah. How long have you been visiting this place?”

Rocky pondered.

“A month? Or about two… something like that.”

“Only for sugary pizza?”

“No, why, they have good coffee, lemonade, and…” Rocky began to list without a backward thought, but then suddenly frowned. “Wait, what are you implying?”

“Nothing,” Calvin looked away and smiled involuntarily. Rocky squinted.

“Don’t tap dance with me, sneaky gingerbread. I can see right through you.”

“Well… uh. Neither of us are blind. Miss Maura probably… it seems she likes you.”

Shaking his head, Rocky ran a hand through his hair in relief.

“Oh, Freckle. You don't understand anything. Miss Maura… she's always like that. With everyone. Gives away words like hot cakes. Mine may be puncakes, but they aren’t served with any ‘additional syrup’.”

Calvin stared at the passing cars for a while, thinking if he should try to change his cousin's mind. But suddenly Rocky cautiously asked:

“…you really think?”

Calvin shrugged. Was he sure of what he was talking about? It was hard to tell. But what he'd seen in the eatery certainly… brought up some thoughts.

“Why don't you ask her out, since you two have been in touch for so long?”

“It's not that simple, Freckle,” Rocky sighed and gestured vigorously. “You have to be thorough, have to pick the right moment. Besides, have you seen her grumpy old man? A glancekiller. It's like rescuing a princess from a dragon's lair. And you're suggesting I just walk up and say…” he stopped in the middle of the street in a deep bow with his hands widely outstretched to the sides, “…do me a favor, my fair maid, go with me on a promenade!”

Suddenly Rocky felt how something was lowered on his left hand. He turned his head in puzzlement and found his own fedora hanging there. But it wasn't that that surprised him, it was… Maura. She was looking at him and Freckle with amusement, and Rocky had no idea where to get away from that look. And he wanted to get away. Wanted it desperately. Preferably somewhere under the ground. But before he could say anything, Mau nonchalantly stated:

“Well, if you promise to be a faithful knight, toss a pebble into my window at night.”

Calvin, who was watching all this, began to quietly laugh. Maura waved to him with a mockingly innocent smile.

“Goodbye, Mister McMurray, it was nice to meet you,” and, without waiting for Rocky's reply, she headed back toward the eatery.

Calvin's laughter grew louder the longer he stared at Rocky's confused face. It was simply impossible to hold back. Calvin felt like he was choking, but he didn't stop chuckling even when Rocky elbowed him in the side and exclaimed:

“Stop cackling, you!”

Rocky took a deep breath, covered his face with the fedora and let out a muffled yell. As Calvin continued to laugh, he patted his cousin on the back a few times, either sympathetically or encouragingly; it was also hard to tell.

Though one thing was definitely undoubtful: now Calvin had not a single regret about that visit to Italian eatery. At all.

THINGS TO DO: LET’S EXPLORE NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA!

New Orleans is a Louisiana city on the Mississippi River, near the Gulf of Mexico. Nicknamed the "Big Easy," it's known for its round-the-clock nightlife, vibrant live-music scene and spicy, singular cuisine reflecting its history as a melting pot of French, African and American cultures. Embodying its festive spirit is Mardi Gras, the late-winter carnival famed for raucous costumed parades and street parties. 

Explore the Historic French Quarter

The French Quarter is always a must-do, any time of year. As the city’s oldest neighborhood, the Vieux Carre is packed with gorgeous architecture, loads of history, a wealth of food and music, and a cast of characters including long-time residents, chatty tour guides, and talented street performers

Take a History Tour of the Garden District

Upriver from the French Quarter lies the Garden District. Take a tour of this neighborhood’s grand mansions and historic cemeteries. The houses and history are a draw, but the neighborhood also offers a wealth of shops and cafes, as well as Commander’s Palace, one of New Orleans’ best restaurants.

Relax at the New Orleans City Park & Art Museum

See the City on the Streetcars

New Orleans’ streetcar system has been rolling since 1835. While you can no longer ride the Desire line made famous by Tennessee Williams, the existing lines offer a great way to see the city. The newer red streetcars run out to Mid-City, while the older, original green cars take you down historic St. Charles Avenue, past beautiful houses in the famed Garden District and Audubon Park.

Cool-off at the Aubodon Zoo

Spend an afternoon at one of the top zoos in the country. The Audubon Zoo has world-class exhibits featuring animals from Asia, Africa, and South America. You’ll also see seals, reptiles, and a glimpse of the Louisiana swamp. Located behind Audubon Park, the zoo is dotted with majestic oak trees (keep an eye out for resident peacocks). In the summer, the Cool Zoo water park offers a respite from the heat.

i love shakshuka and i still eat it twice a week because my aunt made it for me when I was a child and i visited her when she lived in Morocco. I love living in front of wembley and taking the usual route around, just to face the small shop and the bob marley's graffiti because I know dancing rasta would love it. i still eat indian cuisine in the small and kinda dirty indian restaurant so far away from my dorm because it's the place where my and my ex fiancee met for the first time. I'm doing everything to see mancity in manchester or london or in the UK at least once in two months because keeping up with them gives me a better connection with my younger brother. I love rainy london and the long walks in the st. james park because the boy ive got to meet on the exchange that made me stay in london said it's his favorite part of the city. I love the west hampstead station because louis tomlinson lives nearby. and it's true, when that old tumblr post said "I'm a mosaic of everyone i've ever loved, even for a heartbeat."

Colligan, évadé du Palais de Justice, repris après une chasse à l'homme mouvementée -- John Colligan, l'homme aux nombreux alias et aux fréquentes évasions, qui s'est enfui du palais de justice le 20 avril dernier les menottes aux mains, est de nouveau en prison. Il a été capturé de nouveau hier à Côte St-Paul après une chasse à l'homme très mouvementée sur des toits de maisons et des hangars au cours de laquelle les agents provinciaux et municipaux ont risqué leur vie. ---- Les agents n'eurent pas à lutter uniquement contre Colligan mais aussi plusieurs femmes qui leur barrèrent la route et eurent recours à toutes sortes de ruses féminines pour empêcher l'arrestation du filou connu aussi sous les noms de Jack Barne et de Roland Leclerc.

L'arrestation L'arrestation eut lieu à l'arrière de la rue Fulford, environ une demi-heure après que l'alerte fut donnée au directeur adjoint de la su reté provinciale, M. Louis Jargailles. Ce dernier dépêcha sur les lieux le capitaine Albert Marineau, les détectives Florian Langevin et Ro-land Jargailies ainsi que plusieurs agents.

A l'arrivée du capitaine Marineau à 773 rue Fulford, deux femmes lui barrèrent le chemin au pied de l'escalier et voulurent l'empêcher de monter. Elles tentèrent de lui écorcher la visage mais l'officier passa outre et escalada les marches trois à trois.

Elle se déshabille Arrivé au second, le capitaine Marineau constata qu'une femme était en train d'enlever ses vêtements en toute hâte dans la chambre de bain. Il la somma d'ouvrir la porte. Elle lui cria de ne pas entrer car elle était dévêtue. L'officier pénétra quand même dans la pièce juste à temps pour voir Colligan sortir de la maison par un ports de lumière.

Dans une remise Pendant ce temps, la police provinciale avait alerté la police municipale qui avait dépêché une douzaine d'agents sur les lieux. L'on décida de cerner le pâté de maisons contiguës à celle d'ou s'était évadé Coolligan. L'on vit alors le fugitif sauter sur le toit d'un hangar et subséquemment sur le sol pour en suite pénétrer dans une remise à l'arrière ere d'une maison de la rue Fulford.

Le détective Jargailles ne le perdit pas de vue et braquant son revolver sur l'unique issue du hangar, il enjoignit au détective Langevin de pénétrer dans la mansarde et de placer Colligan en état d'arrenstation

Pour reconduire l'évade à la prison de Montréal, l'on prit toutes les précautions nécessaires et deux agents fui placérent des menottes à chacun de ses poignets.

De l'arrivée de la police sur lieux au moment de l'arrestation moins d'une demi-heure s'était écoulée.

50 things I probably won't get done before 50

Finding the right tree service company is crucial to ensure the health and safety of your trees. Whether you need tree removal, trimming, or stump grinding, it's important to choose a reputable and experienced company like Total Tree Service in Olathe, KS. Here are some key factors to consider when making your decision.

Researching Tree Service Companies in Olathe, KS

When searching for tree service companies in Olathe, KS, start by asking for recommendations from friends, family, and neighbors who have recently used tree care services. Their firsthand experiences can provide valuable insights into the quality of service provided by different companies. Additionally, you can use online directories, review websites, and social media platforms to find a list of tree service companies in your area.

Checking for Proper Licensing and Insurance

One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a tree service company is whether they are licensed and insured. A licensed company indicates that they have met the necessary requirements and have the knowledge and expertise to perform tree care services. Insurance is equally important as it protects you from any liability in case of accidents or damages during the tree care process. Always ask for proof of licensing and insurance before hiring a tree service company.

Evaluating the Company's Experience and Expertise

Experience matters when it comes to tree care. A company with years of experience, like Total Tree Service, has dealt with a wide range of tree-related issues and knows how to handle different situations effectively. They have the necessary knowledge and skills to assess the health of your trees, identify any potential risks, and provide appropriate solutions. Additionally, inquire about the qualifications and certifications of the company's arborists and tree care professionals to ensure they are well-trained in the latest techniques and industry standards.

Reading Customer Reviews and Testimonials

Customer reviews and testimonials provide valuable insights into the quality of service provided by a tree service company. Take the time to read reviews and testimonials on the company's website, as well as on third-party review websites. Look for consistent positive feedback regarding the company's professionalism, reliability, and the quality of their work. Pay attention to any negative reviews and how the company has responded to them. This will give you a better understanding of the company's commitment to customer satisfaction.

Requesting a Free Estimate and Comparing Prices

Before making a final decision, it's important to request a free estimate from multiple tree service companies. This will give you an idea of the cost of the services you require and allow you to compare prices. However, keep in mind that the cheapest option is not always the best option. Consider the overall value, including the company's reputation, experience, and the quality of their work, when evaluating the estimates.

Inquiring About the Company's Safety Practices

Safety should be a top priority when it comes to tree care. Inquire about the safety practices followed by the company, such as the use of proper safety equipment, adherence to industry standards, and the training provided to their employees. A responsible tree service company will have strict safety protocols in place to protect both their workers and your property during the tree care process.

Checking for Any Certifications or Affiliations

Certifications and affiliations with professional organizations demonstrate a company's commitment to maintaining high standards of quality and professionalism. Look for certifications such as the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) certification, which indicates that the company's arborists have met the industry's highest standards of knowledge and expertise. Affiliations with local or national tree care associations also indicate a company's dedication to ongoing education and staying up-to-date with the latest industry practices.

Asking for References and Contacting Past Clients

Don't hesitate to ask for references from the tree service company. Contacting past clients can provide valuable insights into their experience working with the company. Ask questions about the quality of work, timeliness, professionalism, and overall satisfaction. A reputable company will be more than happy to provide references and allow you to speak directly with their past clients.

Making a Final Decision

After considering all the factors mentioned above, it's time to make a final decision. Take into account the company's licensing and insurance, experience and expertise, customer reviews, pricing, safety practices, certifications, affiliations, and references. By carefully evaluating these factors, you can choose a tree service company that meets your specific needs and ensures the health and beauty of your trees.

In conclusion, choosing the right tree service company in Olathe, KS, is essential for the proper care and maintenance of your trees. Consider factors such as licensing and insurance, experience and expertise, customer reviews, pricing, safety practices, certifications, affiliations, and references. By making an informed decision, you can trust that your tree care needs will be handled safely and professionally. Contact Total Tree Service today for a free consultation and experience the difference of working with a reputable and experienced tree care company.
