#lighthearted argument

[aventurineswife]

Reader speaks sometimes in their native language when they are frustrated/excited/in the middle of a rant switch languages. And it intrigues Aventurine, who secretly starts to learn the language too, just to listen in secret.

One day, maybe during a light argument between them, reader drops a cuss word that does translate to "f*** you" and aventurine takes this moment to reply, while grinning from ear to ear "oh? Youre offering for once?"

Stunned silence.

Reader starts freaking out in their native language while aven just stands there with that shit eating grin.

Established relationship. No, they never done the deed, but he wanted to catch reader by surprise, and he did. He so proud of himself.

“You think you’re clever, but just remember: I’m one step ahead”

Summary: You and Aventurine are sharing a relaxed afternoon, and a playful argument about his so-called "inspirational mess" turns into teasing banter. When your frustration leads you to mutter in your native language, Aventurine—who’s secretly been learning it—seizes the chance to tease you in return. Caught between embarrassment and laughter, you realize he’s been one step ahead, and Aventurine is all too proud of himself for the surprise.

Waring: Slight Swearing.

A/N: THIS IS SUCH A FUNNY REQ!! I LOVE IT HONESTLY!! 🤭 (As someone's who's native language is not English, this is very funny and cute at the same time🥹🤧like imagine your s/o learning your language just so you can communicate freely or learn what you have been saying 🤭🫶💖🥹)

You’re both lounging around his suite on a lazy afternoon, a stack of paperwork untouched as the conversation somehow spirals into an easy back-and-forth about each other’s quirks. It’s all lighthearted and playful, but it doesn’t take long before you’re teasing him for his incredibly deliberate way of never quite cleaning up his cards and dice, always keeping them just a bit scattered, “for inspiration,” he claims.

“Inspiration, huh?” you say, raising an eyebrow. “Well, maybe my inspiration would be higher if I didn’t trip over your cards every time I’m here.”

Aventurine raises his hands in mock surrender. “I’m telling you, darling, you can’t rush art! It’s all about atmosphere.”

“Atmosphere?” you scoff, switching to your native tongue as you get more animated. “More like a mess that you just want me to overlook!”

He smirks, feigning offense. “My ‘mess’ is a masterpiece—unlike someone’s habit of muttering incomprehensibly every time they don’t get their way.” he teases, with that knowing look in his eyes. He’s clearly waiting for you to switch languages again.

You roll your eyes, slipping into your native tongue almost instinctively. “Maybe if you weren’t so infuriatingly full of yourself, I wouldn’t have to mutter at all.”

Aventurine chuckles, his grin only widening. “Full of myself?” he repeats, pushing back just enough to keep the mood light. “Look who’s talking—every time you walk into this room, you practically take over.”

“Take over? Oh, please,” you huff, slipping deeper into your language as you mutter, “if anything, I’m saving this place from turning into a pigsty.”

He raises an eyebrow, clearly waiting for the right moment, and finally, you let slip a particularly choice phrase—a cuss word that, in your language, translates a little too directly to “fuck you.”

He seizes the opportunity, his face lighting up with a triumphant grin. “Oh? You’re offering for once?”

The world goes still. You blink at him in shock, the realization dawning as your mind scrambles. He understood you—completely. Your cheeks flush, and before you can help it, you’re sputtering in your native language, tripping over words and trying to make sense of how he even learned it.

Aventurine just stands there, that infuriatingly smug grin plastered across his face, arms crossed in satisfaction. “Surprised?” he drawls, clearly reveling in your stunned reaction. “Turns out you’re not the only one with hidden talents.”

You start freaking out, half-laughing, half-ranting in your language, swearing at him all over again. He just chuckles, standing back and drinking it all in, proud as ever for catching you off guard.

“Oh, please,” he says with a chuckle, “keep going—I’m starting to enjoy these rants.”

You cover your face, torn between embarrassment and laughter, and finally shake your head. “One day, I’m going to get you back for this.”

He leans closer, his voice low and challenging. “I’ll be waiting, darling.”

Ranking the men of Skeldale based on if they know lint traps exist, are in washing machines, and how to use them

James:

3/10

Let's be real here, this man was raised by a very old-fashioned woman who would no doubt believe that household chores are a woman's job only and not teach James any of them, then he goes from that straight to living at Skeldale House with Mrs. Hall, who does all the laundry, so he has no need to do his own and learn about how to do that. Frankly, if he saw someone pull out the lint trap, he'd think they'd broken the washing machine. (Do not ask me why he's 3 and not like 1 or 0, 3 just felt like the right number)

Siegfried:

5.5/10

No. Well, usually no. He's definitely been told of their existence by Evelyn and Mrs. Hall, but he's also definitely forgot about their existence and hasn't been using them.

Carmody:

8/10

Our first solid yes! I know people would think he's a no because he's like all but confirmed to have grown up rich/have rich parents and thus would have other people doing his laundry, but he also went to boarding school and to college and presumably did his own laundry there (I don't know about boarding schools but he definitely did his laundry during college). Also, since he's going back to London, he'd have to do his own laundry anyway. Besides, he's the kind of person that would need to know about all the parts in the washing machine and I'm sure he'd do a lot of research about it before he washes anything for the first time. (And while living at Skeldale, he'd probably want to help Mrs. Hall with stuff in a way to repay her kindness to him.) The only real downside is that I can see him being distracted/having other things on his mind and forgetting to clean out the lint trap before putting another load of clothes in the dryer occasionally.

Tristan:

9/10

Listen, listen to me, okay. After Evelyn died, Siegfried was a mess, and there was no way he was doing the household chores, but they needed to get done, and that left Tristan to do them on his school breaks. I think he saw how bad his brother was doing and forced himself to learn how to do all the household chores like laundry and knows what to do by now. (He probably also helps Mrs. H out when she's busy, so more stuff can get done. Also, the same stuff about boarding school as in Carmody's section applies here.) The downside is that this man (and his brother) is so very adhd and I can absolutely see him forgetting he even has laundry in the laundry machines until like late at night (and thus will most likely forget to clean the lint trap as he hurries to put his dry clothes in his hamper or whatever he uses.)

Petition to rename people who "just went through a phase" into moon people. Phases are beautiful - you don't punish the moon when it has gone from full to waning. Why would punish people for the same thing?

i will never forget reading the unhoneymooners by christina lauren, a NYT bestselling romance that was contemporary! and the first fight they had as a couple in the classic third act. AFTER they’re supposedly already in love. he calls her a bitch. like FULLY in a derogatory way. i couldn’t belieeeeeeeve that shit

was reading the rest of the book where they make up (with barely any groveling BTW) like i can not do this. im gonna need him to get killed with hammers. im sorry. we’ll find you love somewhere else

[juniperhillpatient]

my silliest Yellowjackets beef with the fandom (I have many but this is my silliest one) is that I’m filled with completely irrational visceral rage & I crash out so bad whenever I see someone call Jackie taylor a blonde. I know it’s just silly pretend & means nothing ultimately but WHY is this even discourse her hair is VISIBLY light fucking brown / auburn / reddish brown literally NOT fucking blonde why are some of y’all so fucking stupid oh my god 😭😭

Me when someone I've never interacted with in my life says they're no longer interested in Ninjago:

[thesuetyouforgot]

Hello, I have something kinda.....weird to say the least, if you don't mind reading my thoughts that is?

Basically, a few months ago, I had a strange and surreal dream/nightmare kind of thing. It was about Monty Python. But it was a depressing and tragic alternative universe. A universe where John Cleese and Michael Palin both got assassinated/killed on the day of the "Friday Night, Saturday Morning" Life of Brian debate interview, where a religious extremist who really hated the film Life of Brian with a burning passion took out both John and Michael out of spite. Like, utter spite, ya'know?

It was....horrible to think about..yet it was an interesting experience to think about.

I'm okay now, I'm aware it was JUST only a bad recurring dream. But, it just shivers me to the core to think about what would've happened on that day in that alternative universe. What would the world look like? What the Pythons think about the sudden passing of John and Michael? Just what would've happened on that day......

Wow... That's sounds terrible actually & definitely like a dream I wouldn't want to dream myself...

It really is an extremely chilling thought and like you said, interesting in a horrible way. Don't even know what to say - the fear that must cause to the other Pythons, the sheer tragedy of taking someone's life for simply making a funny little movie, all the beautiful things we would have never gotten (like movies, books, documentaries...) etc. Glad it never happened in reality!

--Thank you for sharing your dream & thoughts with me, though!--

i agree with that one post about transfem coded characters being mislabeled as transmascs but i disagree with the constant assertion that gwyndolin is transfem and i dont want to derail the post too hard. i feel like people only grandfather him in from the era where throwing the phrase "trap" around was more prevalent rather than any analysis of how his character is framed. characters with the (often accidental) subtext of being trans women, generally speaking, are denied masculinity for some perceived fault and then pursue femininity (while being mocked for it, usually). you see this with the big examples listed on the post (shinji and raiden) and with cannon trans women like bridget, but you also see this reflected in how people treat trans women in real life. youre not treated like real woman, youre treated like a failed man with all the baggage that carries. that being said. gwyndolin's actual character is a guy forced into femininity by birthright but out of reach from any external pressure, continues to be a guy. its framed without implicit mockery, noone around him that we see is confused about him being a boy, he doesnt get fetishized by any descriptions, and he has visible breasts. come back to earth for a second and consider that maybe, just maybe, negative connotations associated with his gender was paratext from chuds in the mid teens calling whatever they saw as vaguely feminine dudes "traps" rather than any real interpretation of gwyndolin. also priscilla is right there, come on.

Yknow typically I hc him as not being very picky but it's actually pretty funny to imagine Stretch as a picky eater. Loves lemon and orange but hates grapefruit and doesn't usually like citrus in savory stuff. Peanuts are okay but he’s not a fan of peanut or peanut butter sweets. Actually any nuts are hit or miss, the ones he hates most are walnuts and hazelnuts, and he doesn't like pistachios in sweet stuff either.

He'd probably have a lot of texture aversions, too, like, sure he likes mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese, but he's SO picky about them and their end result texture. Doesn't like most olives, hates sausage/most ground meat in general. Fish is also very hit or miss. Etc etc etc

I knooow Edge would jump through hoops to find a ton of fantastic recipes he loves but I can definitely see it being a true testament to his love for his husband lmao

alastor, to vox: darling, i love you in some type of way, even though you are so very stupid and your arrogant criticisms of karl marx make me want to gouge my own eyes out

[beanthebugboi]

Why is it so damn awkward when my mom calls me the nicest things (beautiful, smart, kind, etc etc)

but the second my online friends affectionately refer to me as an idiot or a bitch, I'm over here kicking my feet like "awww you mean it? 🥺 I love you too 😄"

[purplecelestial-buddy]
