super random but is laia codina like super catalan or smth😭😭? i keep seeing so much abt it (aitana as well?)
haha absolutely. if you think alexia is a proud catalana, then laia and aitana are next level, super catalan.
starting with laia, she is the stereotypical, country bumpkin catalan. πŸ˜‚ she's from a small village near girona and grew up on a farm (her dad and uncle are farmers). in fact, her ex-barΓ§a teammates often joke around with her about all her family's cows. plus, if you compare the way laia speaks catalan to the way alexia speaks catalan, it's like alexia has the urban/city barcelona accent and demeanor, and laia has the whole folksy, rural vibe going on. let's just say if you are trying to learn catalan, don't start by listening to laia! πŸ™ˆ (also, here's jenni hermoso saying she wants to hug one of her cows πŸ˜‚)
Tumblr media
but no one, and i mean no one, is as proudly catalan as aitana bonmati. first of all, her parents are professors of catalan language and literature. but more interestingly, they are catalan independence and marxist leaning activists. her father was even arrested and accused of being a member of a catalan paramilitary group. (he was later acquitted). her family's history is super interesting and it's common knowledge by now that this activism extends into gender equality and she took her mother's surname (bonmatΓ­) first, followed by her father's, which is quite rare in spain. and we know speaking spanish annoys her. πŸ˜‚
and finally, aitana is been a very vocal member of the recent movement to add catalan as one of the official languages of the EU.Β 
β€œI wanted to give value to Catalan. It is my language, with which I express myself every day and with which I do it best. I ask that it be recognized at the European level. It's my language and I have every right in the world to do it." - Aitana BonmatΓ­

Hi. Is it just me or TK blogs and supporters are vanishing? I know it's probabily because we aren't getting any new content, no tae news, no jk news, even less tk news... It's not the support and belief in them as a couple that is slowly fading, right? Tkkers will be back as soon as something new drops. Or will they move on because they will realize tk is only friendship. I'm not going to lie, my heart is kind of scared of the possible future without tk. I really hope they stay as close as they are.
Hi anon!
I know, it's been quiet lately. I don\t think it means people are no longer believing in Tkk being together. Nothing has really happened to make believers stop believing, so this would honestly only be a valid explanation for those who are in it for the excitement of hunting for clues. With no content there's no new clues to hunt for and that might make people insecure, or it might make people move to more exciting spaces.
What I've seen on my own blog, is that for several weeks now I'm getting more than usual more new followers, but I'm getting way less asks. To me that translates to people actively searching for Tkk content (people are liking really old posts of mine) but because there no new things to talk about (and we've basically gone through the old stuff extensively several times) there's just less conversations to be had.
There's also not many real active Tkk blogs atm I believe (though there's still some ofcourse). So not a lot of diversity going on. It was bound to happen. We know to not expect much Tkkry atm, so people are probably just less online. I myself have become way more busy compared to last year (single mum life kicking my ass at timesπŸ˜‚), but I'm always around. I'm unable to answer asks as quickly as I once was, but I usually get to it eventually. So if you ever feel like wanting to share some thought about TAe and Jk and you don't mind waiting for an answer a bit πŸ™ˆ please don't hesitate to send me anything you'd like to share.
I expect a lot of people will keep dropping by whenever something does happen. And though some people will leave, I think everyone will be right back when BTS reunites in a bit over a year. Tae and Jk's bond always shines through, and there will always be people around to recognize that.

It's been seven years since the final book of The Lunar Chronicles, but after finally talking myself into a series reread I really need to get this book rant off of my chest... Salt warning!
WHY DID WOLF HAVE TO HAVE ALL HIS WORST FEARS COME TO PASS?? Why was it necessary for him to go through such *permanent* physical/mental trauma, pain, and be forced to forever live out his life-long nightmare of being *forced* to complete the wolf-soldier-hybrid operation?? (He didn't even choose to go out and fight in the confrontation that led to his capture. Cinder chose for him. πŸ₯²)
What does this "twist" add to the series? What part of the plot made it necessary in order to make things work? I don't understand why this is a thing. Was this the compromise for not killing off one of the many main characters? I mean, Wolf literally recognizes and switches back to the "good guys" as soon as he sees them. UGH. All the other characters get to walk away fairly (long term) unscathed, but not Wolf. This twist almost ruined the whole series for me the first time I read it in 2015 and time hasn't made it make sense...
Wolf and Scarlet are literally the punching bags/fall guys of the Lunar Chronicles. (I'm sure everyone feels this way about their favorite LC characters, but these are mine, so I'm Salty.)
I've been salty about this for 7 years. Is it just me? πŸ™ˆ

For the ask game: 17, 20 and 31 please πŸ‘€πŸ™ˆ
Thanks for the ask! :)
17. What's your favorite line you've ever written?
Now I'm sad that I deleted all the poetry I wrote in college sdfghjklkjhgf
From fanfic, hmnnn... I don't really have a favorite, so here's a passage that was fun to write: "Kuruk placed a Ginseng tile close to the border, as Monkey Trepang twisted their head and scratched their shell. It was too early in the game to have that tile out, with nothing worth protecting near it." It's the beginning of my Water Dragons wip :)
20. What's your favorite trope to write?
I love unwilling protagonists. The two long fics I'm working on have unwilling protagonists, so I guess that makes sense
31. Tell us about one of your characters who's an absolute joy to write.
Hmnn I'm a terrible person for this, but I love writing Newen from my Rangi in Agna Qel'a fic sdfghjkf He's a terrible terrible person, a disgusting misogynist who feels threatened by Atuat's capability. He doesn't recognize any of his children as his own, leaving their mothers in dire situations. He might do some things that are even worse too, depending on what I can actually bring myself to write. But it's so fun to write characters being stupid, rude, assholes. Idk why, it makes me giggle. It's also fun to write other characters' reactions to them, so that might be it.

Hi hello i know this is out of the blue but i need you to know that i just. Absolutely adore your art. All of it. Its so so gorgeous and delicate in just. An incredible way and if i could id print out every single piece and consume it like a 5 course dinner. Your tim is so so gender and the way you draw him is beautiful. Genuinely, your style makes me so so happy to see
omg πŸ₯ΊπŸ₯Ί I took a while to answer this because I couldn't think of an answer that wasn't (incoherent screaming).
I really like drawing pretty people and pretty men, and Tim is so special because he also brings a youthfulness to it, like his cheeks are soft and still a bit baby fat despite his Self Care Choices I think fljskahdjklsahd (if I were to age him up, I'd definitely keep the kind of looks that have people carding him to buy alcohol) πŸ™ˆ
I keep thinking of the balance of drawing a pretty androgynous guy without relying on over-feminization, and I don't know! I think as a character Timmy should be confident in how he presents himself and therefore does absolutely deranged stuff with his fashion choices LMFAO like his Sticking Up Hair from old comics with the Gotham giants magenta shirts LMFAO I haven't drawn that, but it lives in my head rent free, he has so much range. OR how in GK he tucks his pants into his socks oh my god I want to shove him into a locker????
Tim doesn't know how cute he is even when he hasn't washed his sweater for 2 weeks fr... But definitely, I feel like I've drawn him when he's "produced" himself for the public (taking notes for future drawings)
Another super nice thing about getting into comics is that legitimately I can do whatever I want with Tim's design? If you look at my first drawings on this account, definitely the way I have been settling on drawing Tim has changed, and I keep thinking of ways to live my best life while also having Tim look like himself, and it's still a bit of a learning curve heheh I think the goal would be having people recognize him from a lineup of his siblings (which I have to get to btw, I really want to draw the Robins but crash into the wall of "I don't draw handsome people as well as I do pretty people" fjsahdjklsad)... which comics don't do btw, it's embarrassing how many times I've confused Tim and Dick? They should color code them like the power rangers jfc
I'm also glad (laying on the floor crying) to learn more anatomy even though I never actually show it lmfao I still draw it like some clown before drawing clothes over it, but drawing superheroes is SUCH a chance to learn how to draw!
All this to say, I draw ultimately to make myself happy, and I'm lucky enough that with a couple days of resting the eyes, I can look at my own drawings like someone else made them LOL it also makes me really happy other likeminded people can enjoy the drawings I make (while I also enjoy the fanworks they make; I love ur writing!) I'll keep doing my best to keep learning how to draw so we can have more things to enjoy together! 😀

✨ He's there with Dylan Hartley tonight I think so I'm sure there will be even more content than last week! *people love an ex England captain*
I'm hoping for a repeat of last autumn...!! πŸπŸ˜‚πŸ™ˆ i.e England win by a mile and Frederick gets man of the match again πŸ˜‚πŸ˜†πŸ‘ŒπŸ»
Could happen too - Japan haven't looked at their best recently 😭😬
P.S Norfolk Charlie is over in France! *friendship contenttt* πŸ˜‚
Oh I wish you that β™‘ good content and happy Fred sorry I jinxed your post to put some thoughts out.
I had a really painful convo with my bestie yesterday and it reminded me what you said to me about jack being crutches for me..
I want to thank you because you help me daily having a more balanced way of seeing things lately...
The gist of the conversation was that I lost myself a bit into rugby and him, rugby always been a safe place but as I was starting to put him before me or my own needs she needed a bit to open my eyes. My problem being for so long I wasn't seen or acknowledged and recognized in my worth. I wasn't doing that for myself either dismissing my qualities and own value. So when Jack messaged me 2 years ago I think it started something in me and I did hold it and him as much as I could because I felt seen and visible around him or speaking about rugby here. Now it is starting to feel different for the first time and to be how it always should have been , I have more stuffs to be proud of and people loves my work and it is very hard for me to let go and put a distance between me and Jack's world including rugby and people I have met through it.
I am starting to realize I hadn't very much any limits and was breaking my own heart in the process with how much I care and feel but it is not how it should be. It cames from a place from love , I am no creepy stalker and always wanted the best for everyone but was forgetting me and lately rugby gave me less than before. Less enjoyement compared to all the stress and pressure I put myself under with the page / here / the fomo of content / him being good / me being not forgotten...
It is too much, I don't even know why I speak to you about it but since I received as much as good stuffs I received hate / stress I think it was time for me to talk about it because detachement won't happen quickly but if you all are ok to help me to do it that would be lovely.
At the end of the day I know things about him and he knows glimpse about Me. We recognize each others. I also know things no one else know about him but I will never really know the real him. That is important not to Forget.
I am not sick or in depression, I was in a dark place before him and he became my sun. I was turning around him but he blinded me a bit. I think I also recognized in him something in me with the way he cares so much about things and people so it didn't helped me being illuminated by him.
Anyways all that to say I am in a transition phase lately so sometimes I am a bit moody and complain but I need to readjust. To see more in life than only Jack. To let go and detach. It isn't easy or simple as he was for so long the only way for me to exist and be happy. I need to learn again how to walk and you are very much helping me so thank you. Crying a bit while writing it but eh :)

when u get this u have to answer with 5 things u like about yourself, publicly. then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool!) 🌟
oh dear, another one πŸ™ˆ
1. I like how I have settled in my life so far, despite still having bad days I think I generally like myself as a person now
2. I'm good at my job and it even gets recognized and I'm really proud of that
3. I'm proud that I don't try to be another person in front of others anymore. I like what I like and I do what I like and people gotta deal with it 😌
4. I'm more outspoken than I used to be - if I don't like something or disagree with someone, I actually speak up and don't swallow my own opinion
5. uuhhmmm.... I'm a good cat mom?

Not an idea BUT important question (maybe for an idea πŸ™ˆ)
- as I have not and will not read the books (well maybe 6 of crows and I might listen to the demon in the woods audiobook...) -
How does the Darkling (and Baghra, if we are at it) manages to hide in plain sight for centuries?
I read fics in which the Darkling's "son" is kept away from the palace and he returns as the son later on but how????
Regardless if it's just getting a new identity, he is still the Darkling and I don't get how people will not know? There must be someone around to recognize him. And let's presume he goes there at year 0, the Grisha children who train there and become adults are not concerned at all that is not aging even 20-40 years later?
I need answers 😭 this is bugging the hell out of me for a while now but I'm not reading the books, nopeπŸ˜…
To the hiding in plain sight question; from what I know, they traveled. A LOT. In the beginning when he couldn't pass himself off as an independent man yet, he mostly traveled with Baghra as either her son, nephew or other kind of relative (and sometimes they'd pretend they weren't even related if I am correct), blending in with a certain group of people for a period of time and then fucking off to hide somewhere in the wild until people had mostly forgotten the names that they wore at that time and their faces. Later they also traveled separately as evidenced by The Language Of The Thorns where The Darkling shows up as the advisor (I think it was advisor anyway) for the Fjerdan king which makes it even easier for them to hide bc in comparison to their own, human lives are fairly short.
As for the son question, I wish I could give you an answer to that but I myself I am hardly past a third of the first book (I've read the six of crows duology already) so I am afraid I don't know how they would pull that off either πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…

It seems we ALL have our different opinions about Kaustin after those new pictures of them dropped everyone that didn’t β€œlike” them together all of a sudden turned into a Kaustin stan and think she’s the β€œone” for him and theyre going to get married but I don’t THINK so but then again austin seems like a long term guy BUT again he’s getting a lot of new fame and attention and even if they do last a bit longer whose to say with all this new fame and attention he won’t be tempted to cheat?
Oh heck no....πŸ˜’
I've already told y'all long time ago that I am NOT ever shipping them lol πŸ˜‚
But I also am not living in delulu land and lying to myself. I recognize them as a REAL couple. 😊
You can recognize two ppl as being in a real rlshp, and even wish the best for them, but not SHIP their rlshp.
That's where I'm at πŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™€οΈ
Re: Cheating...
I mean, that's always a possibility with ANYONE in this industry? There are a LOT of temptations out here. Especially when you get to a certain level of fame. EVERYONE wants a piece of youπŸ‘€ ngl
But why even try to assume the worst will happen with them? I feel like it's better to just hope for the best and let it be? πŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™€οΈ
Plus....You gotta give the man SOME credit. He was with the SAME woman (Vanessa) for almost a decade during his formative years, who was a few years older than him (btw), and I don't recall any cheating rumors swirling around him ever.
Vanessa used to literally GUSH over Austin.
Austin didn't even really have a "hoe phase" (like most men do) if you think about it, cuz he was dating HER the entire time! Lol πŸ˜†.... And he was younger then too.
So I mean....πŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™€οΈ
Austin seems like a long term rlshp type of guy just based on his history and based on how he's already the guy that Kaia has dated the longest lol πŸ˜†
Obviously massive fame comes with its own set of challenges, but it's better to hope the best for ppl imo and just see what happens. πŸ™ˆ

omg, Lindsay, where do I even begin? - okay, so, I am repeating my sophomore year of college (more or less the equivalent) and I was extremely bummed about it, but this boy in my class has been the light of my days and the bane of my existence. he is SO CUTE, with those mesmerizing hazel/brown eyes, he's like 6'2 and Ripped bc he plays rugby (!!!!!!), so sweet and nice and so talkative (like omg he's such a nerd when he starts talking about his interests no one can stop him), he's always dressed well and has a lovely singing voice, he's the eldest of four (boy girl boy girl) and a Christian (but like normal about it😭) his name is literally a variation of Peter????? when I tell you this man is Peter Pevensie incarnate. we're good friends and talk a lot every day and I loooove teasing him. he also teases me a lot but he's that way with everyone (but I won't lie, since he's almost a whole ass foot taller than me he gave me a lil humiliating pat on the head once like I was a poodle and I lowkey melted😭). the other day he got pumice in his hair (don't ask) so he ruffled his hair & it was all disheveled like a puppy and when he looked back up at me I giggled bc he looked SO CUTE and he broke into a grin asking "what?" like UGH i just wanted to eat him like a cookie!!!!!!! we have so many common interests and a good common friend of ours (who has deep convos with both of us) said we are literally the same person, like emotionally speaking, to a point that is almost frightening πŸ’€ anyway somewhere along the line I got this huge crush on him and it ate me alive because every single time I've liked someone I've ended up being friendzoned, and I feel like he's not as playful with me as he is with his other girl friends so I was like hmmmm am I putting myself up for heartbreak? probably 😍 but you know how it is! the sign can't stop me cause I can't read, and so on Friday I went to a house party he was invited to and I was determined to shoot my shot. i had hyped myself up and put on my best dress and perfume and given myself all the pep talks and listened to my hot girl shit playlist on the way there and!!!!! he ended up not fucking showing!!!!!! so I'm like so disappointed at first and my friend (who knows about my feelings at this point) is like, he's such an idiot, omg, are you gonna be okay? and I'm laughing through the hurt like "yeah he'll never know what he missed bc I'm the baddest bitch there isπŸ€ͺ" but THEN the alcohol started kicking in and I texted him "well too bad for you, I wanted to tell you something tonight and I guess you'll never know what it was" which is the BIGGEST hint I could ever drop, like???? and INSTEAD OF SHOWING THE TINIEST BIT OF INTEREST, the dude straight up says "aight" LIKE ?????? SIR ??????? so I'm understandably pissed and mad and sad bc he's definitely not interested and it's soooo frustrating bc we would've been so cute together and I hate him!!!!! and I forget about him for the rest of the night..... until I drunk texted him at 1:30am that he was a bitch and that I cared about him too much for my own good πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€ tl;dr I'm an idiot for any man with a cute smile
but tell me about your boy drama now!!! and please tell me it went better than mine
girl can you move over like make room for me I need a tall brown eyed christian boy πŸ™ˆ
from your description I fell a little bit in love with him ngl. the head pat!!!! Oh my word I WOULD DIE!
I really wish I had advice to give you, but honestly it's a MESSY situation girl drunk texting a confession is just. wow. I applaud you like keep me updated on every single happening omg
my boy drama is like SO not that. It's literally this customer that I've seen three (3) times. I saw him the first time, noticed he was attractive, went and told my coworker. Whole time she was ringing him in he didn't look at me once (which is. Y'know. Solid because of COURSE I like a guy who doesn't even acknowledge my presence). Then the next day I see him again but don't recognize him, turn to my other coworker and am like 'hey girl there's a cute guy here I need your opinion. He's over there in the dark teal hoodie and grey cap-' and I realize it's the same guy and start freaking out. She rings him in and she starts talking to him about our membership program, and we learn that he's from out of town and is just here working on a rig, and that he doesn't know how long they'll be stationed here. He leaves and me and her freak out and talk about how nice his voice is and she keeps telling me I should give him my number. THEN last night he comes in again, and I catch a glance at his profile and I wasn't SURE if it was him and I told my coworker so BUT IT WAS HIM and I'm ringing him in this time and I ask if he's a member, act like I just remembered that he's not and from out of town, and I ask if they're staying for Christmas. He says no, that they're going home for Christmas and taking a break, and I say that that's good, to spend time with family. He kinda laughs a little and says no, he's single so there's none of that, but he does have a sister. I smile and say that I hope he's able to see her over the holidays and he leaves. THATS IT and then my coworker is like totally telling me to shoot my shot but I'm SCARED but like why did he go out of his way to tell me he's single???? Anyways I'm going to the bar on the 23rd and I doubt he'll be there BUT IF HE IS I'll shoot my shot. If not I might see him after Christmas since he'll be coming back

Hiiiii!
It's been a while, I love the way you explain stuff😭 Ding is so freaking amazing.
So, oh, before I forget, I do study English literature and translation ( Arabic - English) btw you're a teacher? I saw some anon I think (πŸ’œ anon?) Wishing you a happy teacher's day idk about it cause we don't celebrate that here but yeah I didn't know that sounds fun! Let me guess (English teacher?)
So you know, yesterday I had a relaxing shower and afterward I wanted to style my curly/wavy hair naturally, so I think k it's a mix of 2a and 2b and that's funny cause I really tried like I saw some pics on pinterest and some videos on tiktok that motivated me but I kinda failed? 😭😭 I just rubbed the cream into my hair and pulled it back into 2 low buns but that's funny cause just before going to bed (I'm struggling with insomnia I've been staring at the ceiling since 1am and now it's 4am😭)anyway so I just fixed my hair to bed and it looked good! Like I had put effort into it, but I didn't! I think the curls aren't gonna make it till the morningπŸ™ˆ
Ehhh I dont know why in the freaking freak did I just say this whole story to you but I think you'll tolerate me right?
So back to classes and huffs and puffs, my finals start on the 20th. I'm not nervous, tbh I'm excited, I wanna get over with these freaking exams to read my books in peace.
So.. Love and Other Words and The Rose Code, huh? They really sound so interesting. I'm gonna need to read them. I'm also planning on reading the Twisted and King series, and do you mind if I tell you that you need to check Interlude right the tuck now? It's so freaking good you need to read it. You'll shed many tears, istg never have I ever cried this much in my whole life in "that" specific chapter, but I just love angst! But I promise it's not like that, okay? It's just amazing amazing I'm currently reading insurgence (the sequel) it's still on going bur I just love this book so much. I hope Mikii considers publishing it someday!
And I've always wanted to ask! What is your favorite piece that you wrote? I read a couple of series that you wrote, but I just wanna know which one js your favorite πŸŽ€
Thank you so much I think you're kinder and better thank you 🩷🩷🩷🩷
I'm gonna need to study 3 novels tmrw cause I promised myself to do so! (Pride and Prejudice, David Copperfield, and The Portrait of a Lady) we studied them for my finals, but i just want to start my revisions, so... to teach and please ig😭😭
Have a very wonderful day, Sam!!! (BTW, my childhood bff's nickname's Sam! We're still friends, and we still love each other the same but not bffs anymore)
Oh now I remembered that I wanted to rant about the future and how I'm afraid of it being a (soon to be 19) girl who is (soon to be a junior) trying to be independent but in reality she will cry if you dare give her a nasty look but I guess it'll have to wait for next time cause my eyes seem to be dropping finally😭😭 I'll tty lysm🩷🩷
-πŸŽ€anon
😭 idk what I explained, but I'm glad it came out well and that you liked it! πŸ’•
I am a teacher! A math teacher actually if you can believe it. Writing is just a hobby of mine and I love it, but it's only for me. Teaching math is much more enjoyable than teaching English (at least I imagine so). In the US we have teacher appreciation week to recognize teachers' hard work. I had one of my current students write me a letter and one of my students last year messaged me to wish me well. But it's not that exciting tbh--well, I do get a lot of coupons emailed to me hehehe
I know NOTHING about hair. (Literally had to google what 2b meant) I make my sister figure out what I need to do and then I just do what she says. I think we might have the same hair type though based on the pictures I googled! I have one curl cream thing that I put in my hair and scrunch each morning and then hope for the best (and that there will be low humidity). It's cool to experiment with your hair, even if it doesn't turn out the way you want it to in the morning! Then you know for the next trial. Of course I tolerate you--even though that's not what I would call it, I love to hear what you're doing!
I bet you're going to crush your exams! It sounds like you're ready for it! Books in peace is a MOOD. I'm excited for you!
My favorite piece I've written oh boy. Umm...I think it would be Protection. Or maybe Zipper. Idk I feel guilty picking one over the other and I love writing them all. I will tell you I think I like Protection more than Traditional which is probs sacrilege to write on my own blog because I think everyone under the sun would choose Traditional over Protection hahahaha but I liked planning Protection more than Traditional. Although Dolcezza really took hold of my heart VERY hard. Especially lately. Probably one of the three: Zipper, Dolcezza, or Protection.
I hope studying has gone/went well and you got some sleep after being up so late! You're going to have a wonderful future, I'm sure of it, and don't worry about forgetting something. I'm not going anywhere! πŸ’•
xoxo

✍ πŸŽ‰. 🀑 because of the clown emote. πŸ˜‰
Thank you so much nonnie πŸ₯Ί both for sending this in and for the clown emoji, it made me giggle and definitely is very appreciated πŸ˜‚πŸ’™πŸ€­
fanfic writers ask
✍ Do you have a beta reader?
I don't! οΏ½οΏ½πŸ€— I'm aware of how helpful they can be, but for the way I write and the kind of significance that writing holds in my heart beta-ing it's not something that works for me personally. But if I ever need some help (and considering a few wips I've planned it's something that will happen sooner rather than later), I know who I can count on πŸ’™
πŸŽ‰ What leads you to consider a fic a success?
I consider it a success if I love what I wrote and my soul resonates with it. If the process of writing it filled me with magic & love & inspiration, if brought me a little closer to Arthur, and if I can recognize myself in every word, written by staying true to my personal & deepest feelings and unfiltered heart. πŸ’™ I love sharing my pieces and my art with people who love Arthur as much as I do is, but as silly as it may sound I'm my own first reader. If I love what I do, then it's a success. I can be only happier to share it on here πŸ’™ but I've to admit that sometimes I need to be a little braver to post my unfiltered feelings here, in this case if I decide to post the piece and someone likes what I wrote it helps me to soothe my embarrassment & enjoy this feeling of fulfillment a little better. πŸ™ˆ
🀑 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?
My first thought went to the sweet Arthur's puns that I've come up with so far ❣️ which are not the best but I try. πŸ˜‚
I was particularly grinning to myself like a dumb when I wrote this paragraph of My favorite cup of tea, where Arthur and the reader decorate mugs for each other:
The decoration was not so different from the Murray Franklin show mug, but this time his handwriting was in velvet red color and read: β€œI love you very mug.” It captured Arthur’s sweet and romantic nature, but also his playful, comedian side. All parts of him you loved with all your heart and soul. It didn’t take long for Arthur to make you burst into a fit of laughter even this time, even this way. It was instinctive for him to find ways to make you laugh. β€œI love you very mug, too. And also this mug.” 
Not sure of what it means, but giggling over these puns surely makes me very similar to Arthur, if anything, and I know he'd be delighted if he got people laugh with these kind of corny puns πŸ€­πŸ’˜

For a prompt maybe Marco/Ace? Featuring Ace having Hanahaki Disease towards Marco? πŸ™ˆπŸ’–
"You look exhausted," Marco says slowly, raising an eyebrow at the stack of papers that Ace slams down on his desk. "Did someone get sick?"
"I," Ace says tiredly. "Am coughing up flowers. Please remove them from my lungs. I've spent the last six hours trying to burn them out and failing horribly. Then, I did that," he gestures at the paperwork as he falls back into a chair. "I hate paperwork."
Marco hums, skimming the top page. There's a handful of flower petals taped to the sample square, but nothing to identify them, which meant that Ace hadn't recognized them. Which actually knocked a number of them out of the running, since Ace could identify anything with medical or nutritional value.
"If I missed something, I will throw myself into the ocean."
"Don't. Namur might just let you drown," Marco states, turning to the next page and skimming it curiously. "I thought you would have told me if you had fallen in love."
"Yeah, apparently magical flowers get to know I've fallen in love before I do. I didn't even get a chance to confess, not that it would change the fact you have to remove the flowers."
"There's still time, I don't have time to do this surgery for at least a few more days," Marco taps his pen against the date written almost too neatly as the start date. "You got this in faster than I expected."
"Flowers are not fun to cough up, Marco."
"Petals, you're not going to be too advanced by Wednesday. Think you can hold out until then?"
Ace frowns, eyes narrowing for a moment before he nods, "Unless I start coughing up whole flowers, I should be fine? It's just uncomfortable."
"I'll start running tests to see what strand you've picked up, but it's probably the same kind that I had to remove from Izou last month. When you figure out who it is, let them know. It's awkward enough having to watch those two dance around each other again because Izou had to bring home the kind that doesn't go away after confession and reciprocation."
"Yeah, it'll be fun," Ace rolls his eyes, standing up slowly to crack his back. "Hope you can convince me to fall in love with you all over again when Kotatsu still hates you."
Marco groans, pinching the bridge of his nose, "I am going to take your cat back to the island you got it from and have Thatch tell you it died."
"No you won't, you're going to try and trick him into helping you win me over a second time. And just think, now that I've had this strand, at least I won't be able to catch it again."
"Would have preferred that you never caught it to begin with," Marco yawns, rubbing the back of his neck. "I'll make sure there's ice cream after the surgery."
Ace leans close, brushing a kiss to his temple, "At least we won't take as long to work things out as Shanks and Benn did. Poor Benn, catching a strand that actually erases the memories instead of just the feelings."
"Helps that you spit out an invitation for a date two days after officially joining the crew," Marco adds, tugging Ace down into a proper kiss. "Go arrange things. I'll be here."
"If you figure out what flower that is, let me know. I know it's not roses, but it's been bothering me."
"I'll let you know as soon as the results are back."

yesterday, I woke up 5 am, it was too early for me, but then I figured out it's okay since our boss at work let us have the Monday as day-off because of the elections. before I start my day and stood my ass up, I binge-watched some movie-recaps in youtube. I suddenly saw this Japanese movie I have watched for more like a decade ago? it's called Koizora. It's one of those reminiscing memories to ever watch again, it's a sad love story though. as I watched its movie recap, it never failed to make me teary again. damn, I've been dramatic so early in the morning! it was then already 9 am, while reading through the comments section, to see how people reacted to the plot, in my surprise I wasn't expecting something. a few months ago, I just started watching AOT and non-stopped watched all the seasons because it made me fall in love to watch more anime's (even brought me to the point to buy a figure of Eren Jeager's πŸ™ˆ) so I am that excited about AOT that I saw this news regarding the movie live-action version of AOT, that the guy who played the role as Eren in there committed suicide a year ago. that's a sad story for me as I was scrolling through the article, but I kind of don't understand why I'm looking further about it, I don't even recognize the actor.
and it was yesterday, morning, as I was scrolling the comment in the movie recap of Koizora, saying that-that guy in the love story committed suicide a year ago. the comment was like, he died in the movie yes, and he's not even here anymore too.
I wasn't expecting, to my dumbness, it was just yesterday morning thatβ€”that was him, in the article I scrolled through a few months ago! Now I know why I felt a little weird looking at the picture of the actor, I thought I know him. Turns out, yes, and it broke my heart because everything in that morning was just all sad.
Afterwards, I continued having a productive day. I went outside feeling independent and bought myself some groceries. I was quite having a hard time since then because I barely go out the house and it was just yesterday again that I started going out alone just to buy groceries. I mean, meeting strangers nearby makes me feel weird. Anxious. smh πŸ˜‚ but everything's fine. I bought the good good stuffs and good good foods! the guard there is seemingly nice to me as well, I feel guided.
as I went home, I rested a little. cleaned and organized my room and the groceries, etc. a little later I prepared to go to the venue where the election is held, and I voted. 🌸 it was a little tiring because the line was long and I kept standing, but thankfully it's already sunset by that moment.
I'm feeling very productive by then, and then as I went home. I thought I was going to have a nice good rest.
Minutes later I received a message from a gc of my classmates, saying the news that one of my classmates just committed suicide.
Man, it made me feel weak and in pain. I don't understand why but I'm trying to accept the fact that this is the reality. Each and everyone is experiencing depression and/or anxiety and it's getting out of control, most of the time.
We had a sudden reunion to ever meet in the funeral of our classmates. His grandma was telling us stories and ranting out her broken heart to us, and I feel her emotions I hugged her. I held her hands making her feel that it's okay to be sad, but at the same time we're here for her/ his family.
I do not even know the right words to say to his grandma, and I can't comprehend how painful it is for all of them. But as I see her eyes, I imagine my grandma being that broken, if I had continued to do it before when I was at my lowest.
I know I was tired already, before we all went to the funeral, the moment I was in my room, about to lay down, but my heart was racing in those seconds we got the news. I had this sudden energy to check on my classmate, who is now resting in peace.
It's crazy that just in the morning, I was sad about the suicide-news, never thought that it's sort of a sign, that I will soon to know by the evening.
Quite productive day, though..

You thought Fred had the biggest ego?! Do tell why ! 😧
And yes I may be trying to convince you to leave naughty Jacky and join the Fred fan club πŸ˜‚πŸ™ˆπŸ€ͺ your commitment and skill at finding info/pics would be gratefully appreciated, and it is (so far) a more peaceful place due to his old man soul...
#oldmanfred
P.S I could never deal with that many instagram accounts, I don't know how you manage. One stresses me out as it is πŸ˜‚
Not really saying any of them are big headed he just seems like the most aware of his value if you allow me to turn it this way. And I don't think it is a bad thing to have confidence.
Old man soul I don't buy it at all (or do explain yourself on it because he is just hiding better ) jack fanbase is a scrappy place at the minute I do give you that ugh ugh ugh big giant mess and I am trying to reconnect my πŸ’” I Feel a bit numb and empty inside since a week.
My point being: I am trying very hard to convince myself the simple idea that he can have a lot of titties bitches but there is only one Jack for AmΓ©lie and only one jack with his very own fanpage for that specific reason it is a more precious bond.
He will always have only one fan page except if someone is determined enough to be commited as I am but I don't see that happening so what did he looked at first turning 22 yes my page. What did he went to see first after a match my page What his biatches go see now : my page
so in a way see me as his Fred bis 😏 you know the MEME : if Jack has 1M fans, then I'm 1 of them. If JvP has 1 fan, then I'm THAT ONE.
If JvP has no fans, that means I'm dead.
I commited for better or for worse we are in the worse. I think I have crossed all my principles boundaries and limits to never extanguish my love for Jack. I am too far gone to flip backward even if it might breaks my heart into million pieces in the process. 😒 { *blue jeans from lana del rey playing in the background* } I will do what I can to mend that heart of mine. I can still be important to him I think ? In a way? He did recognized me so it is out completely wasted. Am I now known as the psychopath fan I do not know but... He is that important to me so I cannot ditch the manwhore yet.
But yes I did already posted a lot about fredda you know, maybe I know stuffs you might want to know quizz me I will maybe find what you search.
Rule number 1 : I am always stressed all this stories stuffs I have learned those last 3 months. I need to schedule all ahead for the fanpage and I discovered the joys and big lows of running it. I can write a bit about it if you want because I had so many interractions already I can make a list and develop it but only if interested.
