This incredibly beautiful 1900 Victorian in Lexington, KY has so many original features, but the ill-advised owners completely painted the interior that stupid light gray to make it attractive to buyers. It has 5bds, 5ba, $999,900.
Tumblr media
Look at the details on this home. They even painted the brick exterior gray, though.
Tumblr media
Stained glass windows. It has some gothic elements.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The long entrance hall has wainscoting, coffered ceilings, and pocket doors. Gothic church light fixture. The stairs, off to the side are magnificent.
Tumblr media
This is all original.
Tumblr media
Lovely window. In this room, I would say that this floor is not original. It's beautiful, but has a large stain.
Tumblr media
Large dining room with a fireplace. They've got some lovely antiques. Look at that sideboard.
Tumblr media
Not a fan of the kitchen, but it's more of a blank slate.
Tumblr media
It's big, has a dumb waiter and a door to the back porch.
Tumblr media
In the hall there's a built-in cabinet, and the powder room has an original sink.
Tumblr media
Very large landing with all the bedrooms doors visible.
Tumblr media
Cozy smaller sitting room. Love that lamp.
Tumblr media
Very nice, large bedroom with a fireplace and wall from one of the smaller towers.
Tumblr media
What a great bath. The sink is original, the tub has a marble surround, and the tiles look original, but if they're not, they match what the originals were.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The shower is incredible. It's an authentic rib style Victorian in a marble enclosure. Do you remember the home I once posted where the new owners threw this out? Arrrrrggghhh! Note the little pin holes in the pipe- a fine mist of water come out.
Tumblr media
Clearly, the owners don't need all the bedrooms. This one would be gorgeous, b/c it's in the tower.
Tumblr media
This is another beautiful vintage bath.
Tumblr media
The dumbwaiter comes up to this room, which they use as a utility room.
Tumblr media
Very pretty room. I think it's an attic bedroom.
Tumblr media
Another attic room.
Tumblr media
They put a shower room up here, but it's not that great.
Tumblr media
Cute sunporch on the back of the house.
Tumblr media
Lovely side yard with a patio.
Tumblr media
.57 Acre lot.

Banner by @spooscribbles
It has finally been a month and it’s time for you to go back home.  The door is finally open today and you are saying your goodbyes to everyone.  With your bag and dead phone in hand you look at the door.  It’s been a long month, you’ve made great memories with everyone, but it's time to go
Arthur: Oh don't cry now, luv.  It isn’t too late to change your mind and stay here with me~
Isaac: Even while she’s getting ready to leave you are still trying to win her over
Everyone is giving their farewells and saying how you will be missed.  You are doing your best to hold back tears so not to hear Theo going on about how you crying is going to get Vincent to start crying and how dare you make broer upset at a time like this.  In the beginning you thought he was being harsh about it but he’s just a tease.
Mitsuki: Thank you everyone, for everything this last month.
Comte: I will come with you to make sure you get back safely.
He smiles and reaches for the door handle.  After pulling it open, the view on the other side is all distorted and not like the long hallway of antiques that it should be. Leonardo quickly pulls you back, not sure what this passageway is going to do, and Comte shuts the door.
All of the guys looked shocked at what they had just seen.  In all the years they have all been here they have never seen the door this way, and Comte uses it nearly every month to travel.  You weren’t sure what to think.  What was wrong with it?  Comte was having the same thought.  He moved the door handle again to make sure it wasn’t still open and took a step back, still looking at the door.
Leonardo: Sebastian, why don’t you take Mitsuki to her room.
Leonardo lets you go, and Sebastian places an arm around you since you still seem to be a little in a shock.
Napoleon: Do you know what could have caused this, Comte?
Comte: No.  It’s never looked like that before.
He gets lost in his thoughts for a few moments.  
Comte: I’m going to need time to look into this
Comte turns and leaves the group.
~~~
Sebastian helped you get back to your room. And got you to sit on your bed
Sebastian: Mitsuki? How are you feeling?
It’s not that the scene before you had scared you, it was the realization that you couldn’t go home.  Going home is what helped you get through this last month.  It’s what pushed you to get out of bed each morning.
Mitsuki: I’m fine.  I’ll just need to wait another month, right?  Comte is going to figure out what is wrong with the door and get this figured out.  
That’s what you were telling yourself.  It’s bad enough you were already gone for a month.  Did the same amount of time pass? When you go through the door will it be a month later or the same day?
Sebastian: I’ll go make you some tea.
With that he leaves the room and to the kitchen.  You lay down in your bed and look up at the ceiling wondering what was going to happen now
~~~
For the next few days you are acting like nothing happened.  Still doing chores around the mansion, going out to do some shopping.  Waiting out this time seems much different from the first month.  You do your best to act the same around the guys.  They’ve done so much for you and you know they still will so you don’t want everyone to be upset.
Arthur: Don’t you think that is enough syrup? 
Theo: Did I ask?
Theo is still pouring syrup on his pancakes.  You start to think it's going to pour over the plate.  The most amazing thing is that when he’s done there won’t be any left on his plate.
Arthur: And how much sugar did you put in your coffee?
Theo: Again, I don’t think I asked
He starts eating his drenched pancakes.  Meanwhile Vincent is beside him eating his pancakes with a new jam you picked up earlier in the week.  A normal amount of it too.
You set a plate down in front of Arthur.  All he asked for today was waffles and eggs.  You have already refilled his mug once this morning.
Mitsuki: Are you working on a new book, Arthur?  You only drink this much when you have been awake for hours.
Arthur: I’m trying to but I am a little stuck right now.
Theo: Are you doing anything this afternoon, Hondje?
Mitsuki: This afternoon?  I had some shopping I needed to do.  Why?
Theo: I have to pick up a few paintings from an artist in town and need a hand carrying them.
Mitsuki: Doesn’t Vincent normally help you with that?
Theo: Yeah but he is busy getting some paintings done for the gallery we are having later this month.
Vincent had pancakes in his mouth and couldn’t speak when you brought up his name. But he did nod his head when Theo explained.
Mitsuki: I would be happy to help
Theo: I will help you with your shopping afterwards
You smile and end up leaving the dining room to let Sebastian know and to get a full list of what you guys need.
Arthur: I thought you were done with all of your paintings for the gallery?
Vincent: I am
Vincent looks at Theo since this was his idea.
Theo: You know how she’s been.  Having her help with the gallery would help her keep her mind off of everything.
Arthur: Aren’t you a softy~
~~
Later that morning you left with Theo and your shopping list and took a carriage into town.  The carriage took you straight to the artist’s apartment where you and Theo picked up a few paintings for the gallery.  For now you were going to keep them in an art studio until the venue was available to them to get prepared.  Theo explained that he wanted to get most of the paintings together to figure out how he was going to do the layout.  
Once the paintings were inside and safe he followed you to help you with your shopping.  You only needed to stop in two shops to get things for dinner and for breakfast tomorrow. 
Mitsuki: …more coffee for Arthur, more maple syrup since you used the rest this morning
Theo: It was barely enough too
Mitsuki: I think you used quite enough
Theo chuckles while carrying the bags for you while you look over the list.
Mitsuki: That should be everything on the list.
Theo: Actually there’s something I need to get real quick. Stay right here and I’ll be back.
You take the bags from him and sit on a bench.  What did he need to get that would make him tell you to stay?  You watch people walk by as you finally relax.  Looking past all the people you can see the Seine.  You are so lost in your thoughts you barely realize you are staring at someone.  Their back is to you so it's not like they would know.  But after a few moments you realize and actually concentrate on the person.
They have a canvas on an easel and are painting what you assume is the scene in front of them.  Thinking it could be one of the artists Theo has introduced you to, you take your bags and walk over.  As you get closer you aren’t too sure if you do know them.  But then you became mesmerized by the painting.  You didn’t realize how close you were and it didn’t seem like he noticed either.
Where have you seen that style before?
The man stopped for a moment to stretch and realized someone was not far behind him and he turned his head.
???: Oh, hello!
Tumblr media
(Chap 1 cg is by MY BEAUTIFUL AND MAZING WIFEYYY @weird-profiterole
~~~
Now that you see his face you aren’t sure if he’s much over the age of 18.  The only way you could describe his face is fairly androgynous.  The curves of his face were soft, he had long lashes, but just subtle shadows let you know for sure that he’s a guy.  His long red hair was very curly, almost like ringlet curls, but as if they were brushed out.  His eyes were the same kind of gray as storm clouds, but that smile he had gave them so much life.
You took a step back, even you didn’t realize how close you were. 
Mitsuki: Sorry! I saw you painting and got curious.
???: That’s okay. If I didn’t want people to watch I wouldn’t be painting in the open.
You tear your eyes away from his welcoming smile and look back at the painting.  You aren’t sure what story it is telling, but it's definitely not the scenery in front of you.
Mitsuki: What are you painting?
The man looks back at his canvas.  The painting is in its starting stages.  It looked like he just finished blocking everything out and was starting to add more detail.
???: It’s the story of Hyacinthus and Apollo. 
You haven't heard of that one. You keep your eyes on the blocked out canvas trying to make out the shapes.  His style definitely doesn’t fit the style most artists have in this time.  Impressionism is what is popular now in Paris.  You couldn’t tell what style he was painting in yet, but even if it was close to being done you probably still wouldn’t know what it was called.
Mitsuki: I bet it's going to look beautiful.  What are you-
Theo: There you are, hondje!  Didn’t I tell you to stay? 
Theo came rushing over holding a new bag.  Where did he go?
???: Hondje?  Well that’s a unique name
The red head laughed and started mixing a new color on his pallet.  You felt your face getting red.  You were really hoping this man didn’t know what that meant.  He didn’t sound like he was from France.
Mitsuki: My name is Mitsuki!
You pout and nearly stomp your foot like a child. 
???: Beautiful name for a beautiful woman~
You could feel your face getting warm again, but for a different reason.
???: My name is Andrea

Recently, I decided to take a trip to the city. I grew up in a rural area, and antiquing every weekend was my parents' idea of fun, so I've been trying to get out more as an adult.
I drove around for a while, found a populated area and pulled over to take a break when I--
Heeey, wait a second. What's that in the background?
Tumblr media
OK, I didn't actually end up here by accident. The Rickmobile made a stop, and I dropped everything to go.
These cardboard cutouts greeted me at the building entrance. A man asked me to take his picture with them, and people had photoshoots with Anime Rick and Morty all night.
Tumblr media
But I'm not here for cardboard cutouts, although that was a bonus. I'm here because this is the ultimate merchandise roundup. It blows all other merchandise roundups out of the water.
First off, I was surrounded by people wearing Rick and Morty merchandise. And, believe me, I came prepared with my own:
Tumblr media
One fan said he liked my shirt! Bootleg, official, streetwear, old, new, eclectic...there were so many great shirts that I wish I could've taken photos of them all. I did ask a fellow fan for a picture of her Mr. Nimbus shirt as we waited in line, and she was delighted:
Tumblr media
Three Adult Swim employees gave out prizes in the Rickmobile. While I waited, I noticed that somebody had taped a few drawings on the walls and ceiling.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
When I approached, a worker drew an X on my hand with a permanent marker. She said that was to keep people from getting in line twice.
I thought I'd have to buy merchandise, but they gave it away for free! They had you spin a wheel, then gave you a prize with the corresponding number.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My turn! ✨
The bearded guy said "Go ahead and spin the wheel! Get schwifty!"
Tumblr media
I won a tiny meditating Anime Rick pin. I'll have to find a safe spot to keep it. Maybe I should make a Rick Sanchez itabag...
Tumblr media
And if you see me on the news, this is why.
Tumblr media
Now it was time to explore. The Rickmobile was the main event, but Adult Swim had another surprise: Morty came along for a spin. And boy, he didn't know what to think.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aaaaaaaahh!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Still, Rick couldn't help being the center of attention. To be fair, he WAS the one giving out free stuff.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And it turned out that this wasn't the only Rickmobile present.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
One of the food trucks joined in, too!
Tumblr media
It was a bit of a drive, but I'm glad that I went because it was an incredible experience. It was amazing to be surrounded by so many Rick and Morty fans. Everyone was smiling and having a good time.
One woman pulled over in her vehicle and rolled down the window to ask an Adult Swim employee what was going on. When he told her they were promoting the Rick and Morty anime, her face broke out in a grin. "I love Rick and Morty!" she said.
Rick and Morty has attracted controversy, but you can't deny that it has a global fanbase that brings people together. What a great opportunity to relax and celebrate our favorite show.
Tumblr media
On the way back to my car, I stopped and asked a guy if I could take a picture of his shirt. He enthusiastically agreed and told me he got this shirt at the 2018 stop.
Tumblr media
When I said that I'd missed out, he told me that it wasn't that great--all they did was hand out beer. This time, they had prizes AND a screening. He was so happy and excited to be there. I need enthusiasm like that in my life.
Say what you will about Rick and Morty fans, but we are definitely not shy.
But hang on, guys, the story doesn't end here. Stay tuned for part two, where I'll tell you what happened after dark... 🌙
