y/nfann YOU LOOK SO PRETTY

paddockclubb y'all wondering if the drivers have heard the song when i'm out here questioning reality cos CHARLES LECLERC HAS LIKED THIS POST.

it was the end of season lunch and you were kind of nervous as you would finally be telling your parents about charles and you. your friends were thrilled but you just didn't know how your father would react.

the heavenly creatures and godly people had given you a blessing. BECAUSE NO WAY IN HELL YOUR FATHER KNEW ABOUT IT ALL ALONG?

"you aren't letting him in on any red bull secrets now, are you?" your father questioned you. and you replied right back, with mock seriousness. "you mean have i told him how max cuddles his cats and how checo never stops talking about mexican food? yes dad i've kept that a secret." your boyfriend lets out a chuckle as you finish your sentence, squeezing your thigh below the table.

"aww maxie you're a softie at heart" lando teases him as max glares at you playfully. the brunch was a success and you just couldn't wait to get back to the hotel with charles because, oh dear lord. he looked absolutely ravishing. divine. sublime even. and he knew what was on your mind, the way his hands kept brushing yours, his soft kisses when no one was looking. you felt it all.

y/nloverr OK BUT THE UPGRADE THO. from that trash guy 4 years ago to charles mfkin leclerc 🙏🏼

it was the big day. your single was about to drop today and your boyfriend was lying down on your lap, telling you how he would LOVE to tell the world that the song was about him. you agreed, it was about him. he slowly got up and wrapped his arms around your waist, letting his hands slip under your shirt.

"aren't we getting cheeky now, mr leclerc?" you teased. "oh we are just getting started, baby" he mumbles as he kisses down your neck. and just like that, he made your big day much more special by his, let's say, needy touches.

Rose, Susan, Charles, Ashley, this isn’t a question sorry for wasting your time I just wish you all a good day 🍀

:)

This is canonically how the gang would react to someone breaking in btw, questioning wtf they're doing here and then immediately telling them to get out before Bon rearranges their organs

[cressidagrey]

i saw someone ask about how the brothers would react to the belle realization, but what i'm the most concerned about is pascales reaction!! because wtf dym you js FORGOT your daughter for your sons, and their GIRLFRIENDS???

i always cherished girls days with my mum so i'd be absolutely wrecked, if my mum ever did something like that!

Oh that's gonna be interesting...very interesting indeed. It isn’t just sibling negligence. This is mother-shaped absence that hits at the very core of who Belle is. And it’s so valid that you feel wrecked on her behalf — so many readers do.

And you’re absolutely right: girls’ days with a mum should feel like something sacred. Like being chosen in a world that so often expects daughters to shrink for the sake of sons. So when Pascale casually excludes Belle, while bonding with her sons’ girlfriends — that’s not just an oversight. That’s a wound.

I have this head canon that Belle was always kind of overshadowed, mostly because she was born smack dab in the middle between Charles and Arthur. Between Charles, the golden boy, and Arthur, the baby. She was just… there. Close in age to Arthur, distant in recognition. Always the helper, never the main character. Arthur and her are only like 17 months apart in age.

But that doesn’t mean it hurts less. It doesn’t mean she deserved to be forgotten. And when the reckoning comes — and it will come — Pascale is going to have to face just how much of her daughter she’s missed.

Because Belle might not scream, she might not demand attention like the rest of them — but she’s not invisible.

[xxplastic-cubexx]

your friend reacted that way because charles in a bdsm outfit and crop top is him in his natural habitat

God youre right wtf am i on about. Suit-and-tie charles is just him being courteous

[x-lee-cya]

listen this is a cringe ass idea but hey, i AM cringe but i am also free :3

(still putting said idea under the cut bc i Am, In Fact, A Coward)

okay so basically the fuckin’ deadpool movies’re just. completely chock full of 4th walk breaks (/vvvvpos), so what. what if we took it one step further, n made the characters from the dp movies react TO the dp movies. like. you CANNOT tell me the dp movies/franchise is not the perfect series to make reactfics for - hell, w how many times wade refs an “audience” (us) in the actual goddamn movies themselves, esp to other characters, it’d be a GOLDMINE

they’d all be taken from different times, aswell, bc ANGST. here’s what im thinkin’:

colossus’d be from pre-dp 1

ntw & yukio from pre-dp 2 (but post-dp 1)

vanessa (post-meeting wade pre-cancer diagnosis), blind al, dopinder, weasel (post-meeting wade pre-cancer diagnosis), etc etc wld ALL be from pre-dp 1, same as colossus

n hey, if u wanna torture yourself, maybe add the other x-men aswell (charles, storm, etc etc). yk, for the added angst. :) all of them’d prolly be from pre-dp 1, aswell.

n wade & logan’d be from post-dp 3/d&w bc the trope of “angst of one character knowing what’s gonna happen n no one else knowing wtf got’s them so tense n lowkey on the verge of a panic attack freaks THEM out aswell bc what the fuck happens/has happened to them to make them this nervous at the prospect of other people knowing???” in reactfics is just. :chefskiss: so goddamn good. just. perfection.

like, someone, pls, write this n i will give you both of my kidneys n my first, second, AND thirdborn. like, please, i beg 🙏 (i’d write it myself but i have got SO MANY GODDAMN WIPS i literally cant add another to the pile egsjgsjehe :cryingemoji:)

[sceletaflores]

i’m so obsessed with crimson (not a cringe name at all!) and logan!!!

pls tell us more about crimson and her backstory! and her mutation! thanks baby!!!

wtf oh em gee anon ofc i’d love to chat about her!

for her mutation, she’s basically a blood bender, but with some extra stuff cause i thought just blood bending was a little boring lmao. i'm not the best at explaining things, so hopefully this isn’t all over the place.

in my head, she can manipulate blood that's both inside and outside of the body. she can sort of "possess" peoples bodies by either ingesting their blood or by blood-to-blood contact. if it has a blood stream, she can take it over. it’s not only limited to just the living either, corpses that still have blood in their bodies are easiest for her to manipulate.

she refrains from ever ingesting blood in fear of looking too scary, she only learned and honed the blood-to-blood contact method working with charles and hank. she can also use her own blood (other peoples as well but once again, she doesn't really want to come off as scary) as a weapon by manipulating it into sharp objects once it's spilled.

she hardly possesses living people because it takes a huge toll on her physically and it's still a little too hard for her to execute safely.

i even toyed with the idea of her being able to like...ingest a mutants ability. not forever, but if she takes enough blood from them she can retain a watered down, weaker version of whatever ability they may have for a short period of time, but i'm not so sure about making it 'canon' in my own little universe.

one cause it’s a super similar trait to rogue and two cause i obviously want her abilities to be interesting and powerful in a way, but i don't want to make her too op or a sort of mary sue type character. it's so icky reading ocs that are written to be the strongest mutant ever that body jean and magneto and everyone else under the sun. i don't ever want to give that vibe with this lol please let me know if i do don't spare my feelings like is this cool or is it too extra...

okay so what i have in my head in terms of a backstory is very chaotic and not really fully fledged in any way shape or form! the main idea i have for her is that, as a child, she was sold to a mutant testing lab by her abusive mother. her father left right after her abilities developed, refusing to raise a mutant daughter.

i know i very ominously mentioned the “scientists” and the “experiments” in afilav sort of in passing, but just know she was a mutant before she was tested on! the experiments only affected her mutation. that’s why she reacts more aggressively or viscerally to the sight and smell of blood. however, her enhanced strength and healing are a result of her time in the lab.

anyway long story short she finally broke out of the lab when she was older and started to “work” as like a free agent for a couple years.

killed whoever wherever for whoever for lots of money. she never stayed in one place long. she liked being off the grid, mostly drifting from state to state sleeping in shelters, on park benches, in abandoned cars, but only until she was found by charles xavier.

that's really it! i'm trying to think out some more aspects of her that are only half-baked ideas so i won't bother writing them down lol thanks for the question anon! i had so much fun actually sitting down and writing this.

fyi: i'll be tagging all my content about this au and character with the tags 'to the bone au' and 'file: crimson' from this point on :)

love you!

[catzz089]

omg Ive come back from war (ADHD burnout) and i missed imedently seeing two posts!! first off THE CHAPTER NAMES ur a comedic genius!! YESS MAX TAKING CARE OF CHARLES IM SOO HAPPY! sorry Mr Stroll pt2 wtf get that bag tho max ig. CARLOS CALLING THE SHOTS LOL! i love the carlos max friendship to be fair. hmmmm a backstory who are these exs hmmm??? AHH YEP LETS KILL JOS I WILL ILL HIT HIM WITH MY CAR FEEL THE POWER OF A BOXER ENGINE IN AN 18 YEAR OLD SUBARU! lol i feel charles panic about max seeing guns and shit on a personal level, like when someone i went to school with found pic of me shooting and showed them around my english class i panicked!! I lowkey wanna know how max reacts when he wakes up on top of charles like im down for cuddles with the homies buttt it gets to a point… INFORMANT HUUUHH (pls be oscar pls be oscar) Banger of a chapter it was like crack to me after disappearing into the oblivian that is uni.

CHAP 14!! iconic title once again! WHY TF R U IN A SHOP TILL 3AM not it! Max bby youve been attacked once lets not go for a second time drive the car (edit: i was mistaken fuck) someone wanna wife me up and let me drive their Ferrari like pls (or Corvette im not picky jk i want the Corvette)!!! PLS TELL CHARLES U FEEL LIKE UR STILL BEING WATCHED TF! yep vroom vroom i love cars :) was forced out of my hole to go do burnouts with friends (leagally) and i had soo much fun i rose again. NOOO NOT THE FERRARI!!

YIPPIE SORRY TO HAVE LEFT YOU SO LONG!! BUT I ABSOLUTELY LIVED AS USUAL!!! 🩵

LBHA RETURNS!!!!

Thank you thank you, honestly sometimes I’m more proud of the names than the chapter

Max so eager and desperate to return the favour he forgot to check if Charles was actually sick or not 💔

Mr Stroll just comes in for a chat at least once a month, Charles freaks out every time but Max lowkey loves him so he can never do anything about it. “Oh, Charles. Lawrence came in again today! Oh he was so nice, he was telling me about his house back in Canada and how a deer ran into his house! Apparently it was really sweet, and his son coerced him back out of the house with some carrots. He’s such a great guy, honestly.” Meanwhile Charles is grinding his teeth thinking back on just how many shipments they’d stolen.(less since Max came about- significantly less)

Crazy amount of exes, crazy behaviour from them. All of them.

Bro you can’t just casually mention shooting things 😭😭 my very English mind cannot comprehend it

He’s thrilled. Completely thrilled. And panicked, he doesn’t want Charles to hate him (completely ignoring the insane amount of times he gets dragged into Charles’ arms) so he escapes. But he thinks about it for the rest of the week month day.

Big fan of informant! RIP for the Unj grind

Look they were having a rough, rough day at work, Charles feels really bad, he’s about to pay Max 5 times the regular overtime pay.

Yes Max. Take the car so you don’t get into any trouble…

LMAOOOOO, too real though I just want to marry rich

Don’t even worry, Charles knows Max feels watch, or at least, he knows Max is being watched. He won’t let anything happen to him again. Especially not like the first time. Any and all protections he has must be put in place for Max because anything less than safe is failure.

Poor Ferrari 💔 how will it recover 💔

I understand it if the friend is like drunk driving or smth, but if it’s not their fault the stfu. Max is just simply panicking for no reason tho, bc he’s just a little dramatic

I’m such a sucker for hurt/comfort it’s the best genre ever

BRO WHO WERE U FIGHTING??(and did you win??)

NOOOOO OMG EVER TIME BRO EVERY DAMN TIME IT BECOMES MAD 😭😭

Hasn’t even crossed Max’s mind I’m afraid, it’s actually totally normal for his father to be a bit odd and overbearing nothing wrong w it at all

THANK YOU QUEEN 💞💞💞💞💞💞♥️♥️♥️♥️

I'm curious about how Charles Xavier would react to one of his students calling him out for his blatant disrespect of other peoples privacy.

Also if this blog is still active.

Honestly I love Charles’s telepathy almost as much as Erik, and I do think the students that decided to take on the Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngesters are mostly all okay with his telepathy.

We don’t really see a lot of students lashing out or getting surprised when Charles reads their thoughts, and that makes sense to me because I think that’s just something that you would expect, because he doesn’t hide it.

That being said, there could still be students that think he’s more low-key about it, or just didn’t do anything early on to indicate Charles’s blatant use and suddenly saw it and was like “Wait wtf”—so I think Charles would react sort of the same way he did to Raven. Respect the boundaries even if it baffled him at first.

He might even throw in a “Alright, I’ll stay away unless you project, or you’re in danger.” And if it goes further that just that student, I don’t think he’d react negatively or hide it away from everyone, because I think that would be a disclaimer for his students regardless, and he might just explain that.

Again, I love when he doesn’t hide his telepathy because that’s his mutation, his schools for mutants, they all use their mutations openly and are taught to practice it and etc.

ILYSM for reviving me (I think about Cherik daily but I got busy and stopped posting a lot and now I regret it 😔)

[p1oscar]

omg I have been in such a Charles mood lately and he is SO friends to lovers coded pls!! like he’s so sweet and soft that you can’t help falling for him even though you think there’s no way he feels the same?

but he’s so protective over you and everyone else can definitely see it even when you can’t. like he always has his arm around you, always touching your hair, always holding your hands, but you’re just like … yeah we’re friends!

And maybe it takes you going on a date and him being all moody about it for it all to finally fall into place? you’re getting ready and he’s pouting and whining about this guy he’s never even met and you’re like ‘okay wtf is going on?’ and he’s just heart eyes and begging you not to go

ok sorry this was in my drafts i hope it feels cohesive idk where i was going with it but i think it turned out okay <3

reader is insanely oblivious but charles is practically all over her, ever since they met she never picked up on his flirting or lingering touches. charles has resigned himself to loving someone who will never love him back the way he wants, and surrounds himself with her to make up for it. he lives off the tastes of her love that he gets, like when she sleeps over because she stays too late and they wake up cuddled up together. or when she comes to his races and is with his team when he finishes and she's the first person he goes to for a hug. or how every time they casually say bye, love you! charles lets himself pretend she’s as in love with him as he is her. then he sees her again and is reminded of it when she doesn’t react when he tries to flirt with her or gets a little handsy when he's drunk. she’s so convinced that he’s just her best friend and that’s all he’ll ever be that when he flirts and puts his hands on her, she tells herself that’s how he acts with everyone.

she’s getting ready for a date while he lounges on her bed. he was cuddled into her pillows while she pulled out dresses and held them up asking his opinion, and he keeps giving unenthusiastic answers, or flat out saying she should cancel the date and stay in with him. then she pulls out a little black dress and says, “oh, i forgot i had this one!” and charles feels his mind spin at the thought of her in the slinky black dress of someone else seeing her in it. her wearing it for someone else. all he can muster up is, “i didn’t know you had that one.” she misses the strange lilt to his voice and teases him, “well i haven’t worn it yet, silly. i’m gonna try it on.” she disappears into the bathroom and returns a moment later, holding the top to her chest as the straps hang loosely down her shoulders “charlie, would you mind?”

yes, i would mind. he thinks. he very much doesn’t want to zip up the dress so another man could take it off her in a few hours. but then she’s turning around and exposing the smooth expanse of her back, the zipper cutting off just above her ass and he can see a bit of red lace peeking out right where it ends. the lack of matching bra makes him clench his jaw as he moves towards her. he trails his finger down her spine until he reaches the zipper and he makes his way back up. as soon as he finishes and she turns around, she sees the look on his face and is immediately asking if she looks okay and he tells her she looks fine. she huffs and reaches behind her to tug it off, “thanks for the enthusiasm, you’re a great hype man! not like i’m freaking out or anything.”

his jaw clenches at hype man, and he groans. “mon dieu, what do you want me to say?”

she whines and bats at his chest, “you always tell me i look pretty even when i’m in sweats, and i’m wearing a dress i’ve been saving for something special, and you’re not even reacting. i can’t even return it anymore and you’ll hate me when you hear how much i spent, so just tell me i look pretty and i’ll have fun on my date tonight.” her hands spread across his chest as she speaks, her eyes locked on them.

his hands find her wrists and he wants to push her away and leave, ask her why she keeps doing this to him. her fingers dig into his skin, sensing he’s going to remove her touch, but he leans into it. “don’t go on the date. i’ll tell you whatever you want… i’ll take you out if you wanna go out, just don’t go out with him, please.” her eyes flick up to his and she’s doesn’t recognize the pleading look in his eyes. his grip tightens on her wrists as she pulls her hands back from his chest and she sees panic set into his features before she presses her hands to his cheeks.

his eyes flutter shut and she breathes, “okay, i won’t go. we can stay in, yeah? we can talk.” he breathes a sigh of relief and nods, “talk, sure.” a moment later his hands leave her wrists and he’s dipping to clasp his hands under her thighs to lift her into the air. her hands stay on his cheeks as he guides her legs around his waist and walks her back to her bed, telling her, “you look incredible, honestly, you do. i’m so glad you aren’t going, if you left me looking like that, god it would break my fucking heart.” she whimpers and her heart stutters at the admission. she doesn’t know what to say, speechless from the sudden realization, so she pulls him in for a kiss to tell him how she feels.

"The television program centers on the larger-than-life melodic death metal band Dethklok..." ok wikipedia, then why have i only been screenshotting charles, the metal masked assassin and fucking Dick Knubbler, hm????

[singsweetmelodies]

i think that many people in this fandom should go outside and touch grass for a moment, and try to remember that the drivers irl are not the same as the characters that we use for rpf fics.

"omg but i loved the characterisation of X in Y fic soooo much" that's great... but that characterisation is still not a reflection of who X is irl.

for example. "i can't believe charles said that, why would he say that? it's not who he is :/" girl. maybe that's not who he is in fic, and he probably wouldn't say that in your 21k charlos slowburn fest, but in real life, where he is a real person, he most absolutely can and did in fact say that.

just. it's fine to make the drivers say and do whatever the flying fuck you want in fic, but it's SO important to keep that line between reality and fiction firmly in mind.

[bffrchai]

Welcome to chai yaps pt. 4!!

Today is probably gonna be me more so ranting and simply only because this has really been irritating me all day 😭. 

If you didn't know, my favorite WNBA team has always been the mystics since I was a kid and that will never change. Therefore, the rookies that I root for the most are Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen. This means that I was ecstatic when Kiki won ROOKIE OF THE MONTH. AS IN ONE MONTH. AS IN THE MONTH OF MAY. AS IN THERE ARE MANY OTHER MONTHS TO COME.

Although it is perfectly fine to not root for certain rooks, that does not mean you get to call people "soft" for not wanting people to belittle Kiki and talk down on her over ROOKIE OF THE MONTH THAT PAIGE CAN LITERALLY STILL WIN. Like the calling people soft is so ironic to me because y'all know DAMN well if people were talking about Paige how niggas are tb Kiki y'all would be defending her the same way. Y'all are so weird to me because this is exactly how people reacted when Juju won NPOTY. People were claiming she didn't deserve it, that other people played better than her, and that the award was given as a result of sympathy-it's weird all around. I've seen multiple people in yewcawn's fanbase calling Kiki out of her name, calling her slurs, and being nasty to other's for simply defending Kiki. And I hate to generalize people, so I'm just gonna assume it's the bandwagon fans that followed PB from yewcawn into the WNBA. Because REAL basketball watchers who actually watch games outside of their team and don't just focus on stat lines and box scores would know that Kiki absolutely deserved that award. (and so did Paige, i'm sure she'll get it next month)

Also, when y'all bring up stats trying to compare the two and it's comical everytime. Kiki Iriafen is a FORWARD. Paige is a GUARD. They do not uphold the same role and expectations for their teams. I repeat: THEY DO NOT UPHOLD THE SAME RESPONSIBILITIES AND ROLES FOR THEIR TEAMS. This is like how people compare Clark to Reese, it doesn't make any fucking sense. People are saying "well Paige has more assists and steals" | WOULD HOPE SO SHE'S A POINT GUARD?!?!? (she's really a combo guard, but it's clear her role rn is to be a floor general).

But anyway, Kiki's role is to facilitate in the paint, rebound and put it back, make her middy shots (which both PB and Kiks do well, check their FG%), and pass to whomever she can if she doesn't have a good look. But her role is not a pass-first type of role, she's the player people pass TO. Maybe later in her career she'll be able to take on that Point-Forward role, but until then, that's not really her responsibility. For the sake of her team, it would be Sonia, Slim, Jade, or Sug's responsibility to pass and get their forwards (and obviously other players) good looks.

And then the people saying Kiki didn't deserve when she absolutely did is blowing me. Kiki has put up efficient numbers, double-doubles might I add, against the BEST players in the league. Kiki has guarded Brittney Griner, A'Ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones, Tina Charles, Aliyah Boston, etc., and has put the CLAMPS on almost each and every one of them but JJ and I think Stewie (but they're insane lol 😭). Anyway, it has been YEARS since i've seen a rookie walk into the W knowing the comp they'd have to go up against and still be consistent & efficient every single time—l can only imagine how she'd perform against MVPhee Collier, Dominique Malonga, Angel Reese, Rickea Jackson, and other talented forwards. So with all this being said, downplaying Kiki just shows me that y'all don't watch anybody outside of P and if that's the case then WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT HER FOR? (but lemme chill Imaoo)

Anyway to wrap up all this yap, root for whoever tf you wanna root for, but you can do so without being weirdos 😘. Also, Imk what your roty predictions are and stuff like that if you'd like. (My prediction is ultimately Paige winning roty bc duh, but I'm still rooting for Kiki and Sonia regardless).

[arkhammaid]

lol how do you think the Ferrari spirits/ghosts will react to the team’s recent clownery aka the triple header post Monaco victory? or even what happened after Leclerc’s Lack of Luck 2022 in the haunted Ferrari-verse?

or maybe even Sebastian’s departure? or the Sainz family & Spanish media VS Leclerc? or the Monaco curse (not yet beaten perhaps)? or even Schumacher seeing fake Harry Potter MB and thinking wtf you’re still here and ruining this? XD

~~~ i know that it’s basically impossible ‘cause here Ferrari competency is superior, buuuuut … WHAT IF? *evil laugh* hehehehe :>

oh boy... hellfire upon earth (maranello)

if it would happen, which doesn't. because charles has much more influnce within the team from the very beginning, thanks to the spirits. generally just... thank the spirits they're here lmao

and as for seb's departure.. seb's camp immediately shifts their focus towards charles, since they know that seb actually liked him (as person and as driver) and they all see the potential in him (charles has won more races before seb retired). carlos on the other hand... they've heard about him, his whining, the complaints, and compared to charles, he seems difficult to handle

and oh boy... the spanish media? they can talk shit about charles once and the italian's immediately clap back. it's spanish media vs italian media at this point. and sorry to say, but the italian papers have more reach and support

charles is also definitely more loved by the fans, most of carlos fans are former mclaren fans or have spanish blood lmao. the tifosi will support charles first, because they see and know, this one will win.

I know you’re not representative of the whole UK population, but can I ask how people are reacting there to Where’s Kate? I’m from a commonwealth country and the rumours here are going crazy like William is gonna get arrested for beating Kate while I’m here like WTF she’s recovering at home.

It seems most of this hysteria is coming from non-UK countries, and most British ppl are just like she has surgery and she’ll be back whenever.

I think this will be my last comment on this because I'm fed up of the whole topic but this message sounded really nice so I wanted to reply.

A disclaimer: obviously some people are fully believing the weird theories and genuinely think Kate is dead but those people are insane. Also, some people have no idea this is an issue - my grandma, for example.

I think most people fall into three categories. Category one: people who are enjoying the memes and jokes but think it's all gone a bit far and people have gone mad over a bit of photoshop. Category two: people who are really enjoying the memes and don't care about it. Category three: people who are furious at the jokes and memes and blame Meghan.

At the risk of repeating myself, people do not think about the royals. When the Queen died, when Philip died, when Harry and Meghan left, when Andrew did Newsnight, people were talking about it. It came up in staffrooms, on the bus, in houses. Even when Charles was diagnosed with cancer, it was a proper topic of conversation. No one is having genuine real life conversations at work about "where is Kate?" I'm not saying no one in Britain is talking about it but I'm saying few people in Britain are either genuinely worried about Kate, worried this is the end of the monarchy, or celebrating the end of the monarchy.

Furthermore, this is very much a social media phenomenon. That's not to say none of it is offline - AFP describing KP as "untrustworthy" - but is predominantly online and most people are not online. Over half the world's population is on social media but the top 4 social medias are Facebook (where there is not a particularly large "Where is Kate?" contingent), YouTube (again, very few people discussing this issue), WhatsApp (this is not a WhatsApp phenomenon), and Instagram (of the major social medias, this is possibly the one with the smallest conspiracy theory contingent). Even on Twitter or TikTok, the amount of people genuinely worried or angry about this is tiny.

So I had a dream where the ladies went out shopping and Tilly assigned me duty of watching the men. I apparently thought it was a great idea to go around petting everyone and this is how it went (I try to remember to jot down all my dreams in a notepad file): Jack: Jack BIT me. Yelled "mean mean mean!" and also kicked my shins and ran away somewhere before I could react. Kid was feral. John: Thought I was weird. I patted him on the shoulder. He accused me of 'you probably eat babies!" I told him I was vegetarian and he was like 'wtf is a vegetarian' and when I explained to him he was even more 'yeah, you eat babies!' Like . . . Did he think babies are vegetables?! I asked him if he thought his own kid was a rutabaga and he just stared at me and said 'that confirms it, you eat babies.' I apparently eat babies with my salads. Dutch: He was surprisingly shy (!) and then when I called him 'aw Babygirl Kitten Whiskers" he blushed and got all softy and booped his forehead against mine. I booped him on the nose when he sort of bit me when I was scratching his chin. Proceeded to follow me around camp, I kept an arm around his waist and kept petting him and anytime I touched him around waist/belly he leaned into me. Attention whore. Arthur: Kind of liked it at first, and then after a moment he was all "I got a satchel to make!" in the same tone as "you sir are a fish!" So I petted him when he worked on a satchel and was all 'i hear you're one of those vegetabletarians, I could help you find some wild carrots!" essentially mocked me :P Word spread through the camp quickly about the wild carrots. Pearson: Threw a fish at me and said 'this isn't a petting zoo, why are you petting everyone?' :D Hosea: Yelled 'you slut' and at first I thought it was directed at me but no it was his husband and while he was OK with me petting Dutch, he reminded him of who he belonged to. When I petted Hosea he was like 'why are you petting me' and then came around to liking it (I rubbed his shoulders) and the three of us went around the camp. Micah: Micah BIT me and laughed at me and said something like you know there's a place and time for petting, heeheeheee." Charles: Understandably weirded out by some stranger touching him as anyone would be, but happily mocked me, telling me there's some Yarrow outside camp that I could have with my wild carrots. All of them teased me about wild carrots. Thanks, Arthur. Uncle: I patted him on the head and he was amused, telling me that if I'm not careful, I could start something :D Reverend Swanson: I think he was weirded out but didn't resist much. Gave me a look, took a swig of whisky and continued to read the bible. Kieran: :( Ran and hid under a wagon before I could give pets. He was still among those who teased me about wild carrots from his hiding place, that his horse needs them. Javier: Got weirded out as I decided to pet him while playing the guitar (dream me apparently has no boundaries). He stopped playing for a moment and decided to play duelling banjos with Sean. Sean: 'Aye, I could tell you're part Irish from how you touch me, fkin hell!" He liked it. Gave me a bottle of Irish whisky and I drank it in one go. He was amazed. Bill: Drunk and passed out on a table but I still gave pets. Trelawny: Went in hiding with Kieran.
