Ok so I had an idea, it might be stupid but here’s the summary: one of Melissa’s first students became a teacher and got a job at Abbott as a first grade teacher. Melissa becomes interested in her right away.

On another note: dudes, I’ve noticed I don’t get as much notice on my Chessy fics and I’m not understanding, she the original gay icon from Lisa Ann Walter. Also almost no notice on my Marilyn Thornhill x reader fic. I’ll be doing worth it then a sexy Mel firefighter prompt😉

Warnings: smut, Mel being a tease

You walk into the doors of Abbott Elementary and you stop to take a look. Been awhile since you last step foot in here, last time was when you were graduating grade 8, about 10 years ago. You’ve gone from graduating from Abbott to teaching there, full circle as they say.

You got your teaching badge and classroom key and then you head to the staff lounge. You open the door with a smile and look around in amazement. You never saw this room, the one place students couldn’t enter. You look and see a few teachers staring at you confused. You just walk in and go to the fridge to put your lunch in and you freeze.

“Ms. Schemmenti?” You say and she looks at you even more confused.

“Who are you?” She asked.

“Oh sorry, I guess I look a bit different. My name is y/n y/l/n. You might not remember me actually, I was in your class when you first started working here.” You tell her and she smiles.

“Of course, I remember you now. What are you doing here?” She asks.

You showed her your teaching badge. “I work here now.” You tell her proudly and walk over to her. “You actually inspired me to become a teacher. I just saw the way you loved teaching and I thought it’d be great to love your job so much and I always loved helping people out.” You tell her. “Ms Howard, you’re both still here. I don’t recognize anyone else here.”

“They all left dear.” Barb tells you. “And you’re a fellow teacher here now. Call me Barb.” She tells you.

“Barb…wow, that felt weird.” You say with a chuckle and she smiles at you. You then go and put your lunch in the fridge and then make a coffee. “Anyone else want one, I’m making a new pot.” You ask the room. Melissa gets up and stands next to you with her coffee mug.

“I’ll take one hon.” She tells you and you smile at her. “I’m proud of you, I knew you’d make a great teacher.” She tells you while you put coffee in her mug.

“Really?” You ask her and stare at her with wide eyes and she nods. “You might not have known but you were my favourite teacher.” You tell her and she rubs your shoulder.

“Thank you, it makes me happy to hear that.” She tells you and goes to sit down. When you’re done making your coffee, you get invited to sit with the trio and they all introduce themselves when you do.

“So y/n, what was Melissa like when she taught you?” Janine asks you.

“Well… she was always caring of all her students. And every year I was here, I saw that never changed.” You tell them and then go on and recall more moments that you remember from second grade and Melissa.

When it was close to 8am, you all make your way to the gym for the welcome back presentation. You walk in and see Barb and Melissa going to sit down somewhere and the trio going to get good seats near the front. The trio invited you to sit with them but you saw Melissa and Barb sitting in one of the middle rows and you make your way over there. You go in from the other side and walk over and sit down beside Melissa and she looks up from her phone to look at you.

“Hope it’s alright that I sit beside you.” you tell her and she smiles.

“Of course not hon.” She says and takes a candy from her bag, unwraps it and plops it in her mouth.

“I knew you had a candy stash.” You tell her and she looks over at you confused. “Whenever one of us was crying, you always gave a piece of candy to make them feel better along with a small pep talk.” You tell her and she smiles.

“Want one?” She asks and hands you a piece of candy. You take the candy with a smile.

“Sure, thank you Ms Schemmenti.” You say and she rolls her eyes as you pop the candy in your mouth.

“Hon, I’m not your teacher anymore, I’m your co worker, you can call me by my first name.” She tells you and you look at her confused. “Do you not know what my first name is?” She asks you and you shake your head. “It’s Melissa.”

“Melissa… that sounds weird.” You say and she tilts her head at you and you mentally facepalm. “Not that your name is weird. Just that I’m used to knowing you as Ms Schemmenti.” You rush out and she chuckles.

“I get it. When you’re used to something a certain way then it’s weird when it changes.” She tells you.

The presentation starts and you see that Melissa and Barb aren’t really paying attention. Barb is mostly focused on crossword puzzles, and Melissa on eating candy and her phone. She does keep offering you some during the 2 hour presentation, to which you always accept.

When Ava was showing selfies of her summer vacation, Melissa leaned over to you. “So where’s your classroom?” She asks you.

You look at your papers and see. “Ummm…” You look and she grabs one of the papers and sees.

“Oh, you’re right next to mine.” She tells you. “You’re a first grade teacher?” She says and you nod.

“You know we end up doing some things with the first graders during the year. I don’t know if you remember.” She tells you and you think about it.

“I remember doing some project with a bunny…or was it a rabbit.” You say and she grins.

“Peter rabbit.” She says and you smile and nod. “I still do that project.” She tells you and you smile.

“Really? Oh I would love to collaborate on that if you want. It’s a cute story.” You say while looking at what Ava is saying and she blushes.

A few hours later you’re decorating your classroom when you hear a few curses from next door. You walk over and knock on the door. A few seconds later Melissa opens the door and smiles when she sees it’s you.

“Everything alright in here? I heard, what I think is cursing.” You tell her and she sighs and nods.

“Ya, just having some trouble hanging something up. It’s a bit wide and everytime I go to hang up one side, the other one comes off cause it can’t support the weight.” She tells you.

“Do you need some help?” You offer and she smiles.

“If you don’t mind then I would appreciate it.” She says and she lets you in.

“Wow.” You say as you walk in her classroom. “It’s changed but still some things are the same.” You say as you look around the room.

“Was I really your favourite teacher? I mean you aren’t just saying that?” She asks and you look at her.

“Ya of course. I don’t really remember my other teachers that much, but I remember you. I sorta remember Barb but you don’t see me telling her that she was my favourite.” You joke a bit and she laughs.

“Well you could have without me knowing.” She tells you and you chuckle. You go over to one side of the poster that she needs help with and pin it up and then hold it while she pins the other side. “Well thanks for the help, I can’t wait to see you with the students. And it’s been great seeing you again.” She says to you and you smile.

“You as well.” You tell her and then go back to your classroom.

*2 months later*

Melissa opens her door and sees you there with a bag and a frustrated expression on your face. “Hey y/n.” She tells you with a quirked eyebrow.

“I need your help with my Halloween costume.” You say, straight to the point and she giggles.

“Alright come on in.” She says and steps aside to let you in her house. “Who are you going as?” She asks.

You and Melissa have gotten closer over the past 2 months. She didn’t give you the cold shoulder even though you’re new since you were one of her first students. She’s gotten to know who you are and the both of you have been slowly falling for each other. Neither of you will admit it though since you’re both stubborn and don’t want to possibly ruin the friendship.

“Ok well you know how you said you’re going as Penelope Featherington?” You start and she nods her head. “Well I thought I’d go as Eloise Bridgerton.” You tell her and she laughs.

“And what exactly are you having trouble with?” She asks you sigh.

“I can’t figure out how to put on the clothes.” You tell her with a pout. She giggles as your pout and walks up to you.

“Alright, well we can both get ready and help each other out.” She tells you and you smile.

You both get your costumes ready and laid out. You begin to put the corset on and she comes to tie it up. She sees all your skin on display and since you’re standing in front of the mirror, she sees a good amount of cleavage as well. She loops the string in the last few holes before beginning to tighten it.

“Is that too tight?” She asks and you shake your head.

“No, that’s perfect.” You tell her and she ties it together. She then helps you put the dress on and accidentally brushes one of your breasts and you gasp.

“Sorry.”

“Oh, it’s- it’s ok, just surprised me is all.” You rush out.

You then help her with her corset. You both really should have accounted for her chest, as when tightening it, one of them slips out and you both freeze. You stare at it through the mirror and your brain stops working. She tucks it back in and you’re still staring at where it was and your cheeks are redder than her hair. She sees your reaction and she turns around to face you.

“Did you like what you saw?” She asks, with a bit of a teasing tone and you nod.

“It looked perfect.” You breathe out and she can see your breathing has gotten heavy. She takes a step towards you and she’s right in front of you, it wouldn't take much to lean forward and kiss her.

“Y/n, are you attracted to me?” She asks cautiously. You widen your eyes and you don’t know what to say. All you have the brain function to do is nod. “Well that’s perfect because I’m attracted to you too.” She tells you with a smile.

“Really?” You say in disbelief and she nods.

“Ya, and I just want to say that I’ve been wanting to kiss you for a couple weeks now.” She tells you and you lean forward a bit and she closes the gap. She puts a hand on the back of your head and you put one on her cheek. You both pull back after a few seconds and you stare at each other before going right back and make out. She walks forward a bit while still kissing you and your back hits a wall. She puts both her hands on the wall, one beside your head and the other beside your waist. You have both your arms wrapped around her neck to keep her where she is and open your mouth a bit to let her tongue slip in.

At one point she puts her hand on your waist and gives it a small squeeze and you moan. You pull back when you need to breath and look at her as you try and bring oxygen back to your brain.

“Do you kiss all your former students?” You tease and she smiles.

“Can’t say I have, you’re the only one.” She tells you. “Do you kiss all your former teachers?” She teases back.

“Only my favourite teacher.” You say and she lunges forward to capture your lips again. She moves her hands downward near your ass and cups it when she gets there. She then gets you to hop up and wrap your legs around her and you do just that. She then pins you against the wall harder and goes for your neck.

She then gets some of her control back and she pulls back to look at you. “Do you want to continue with this or do you want to stop here? Cause I’ll tell you right now that if we continue then I’ll want to go all the way.” She tells you bluntly.

“Then let’s go all the way.” You tell her and she carries you to her bedroom and lays you on the bed and continues kissing you. You then get an idea when she goes back to kissing your neck. You get her to pull back and look at her. “I know you said to call you Melissa, but right now I just want to call you Ms Schemmenti.” You tell her and she smiles and shakes her head.

“Oh, do you want to be disciplined then?” She asks, playing along.

“Perhaps.” You say.

“I mean you have been bad. Having dirty thoughts about your teacher, showing up in sexy clothes to get her attention.” She tells you and blush. “Oh don’t think I haven’t noticed your wardrobe change in the past few weeks.” She tells you.

“So it worked then.” You say proudly.

“Oh, it definitely worked.” She says and kisses you again. She then reaches under your dress and pulls your underwear down and throws it somewhere. She then goes under your dress and connects her mouth with your pussy.

You feel her tongue on you and you gasp. You can’t see her, all you do is feel her and she definitely knows how to please a woman with her tongue. You grab the headboard behind you and you buck your hips. She then moves her mouth to your clit and you moan and buck your hips again. She then slips a finger in and you gasp out. She pops her head out from under your dress and looks at you with wet lips.

“How should I discipline you?” She asks you and you just whine as she’s still fingering you. She adds another finger and your eyes are shut closed. She expertly takes her underwear off and goes in her nightstand to get her strap on. She somehow is able to put it on with one hand and then she pulls out of you, much to your reluctance. She pulls your dress off and then she pulls one of your breasts out of the corset top and wraps her mouth around the nipple. She pulls back after a few seconds and looks at you. “I’m going to get in a sitting position and you're going to settle yourself on my strap and ride it.” She tells you and you look down and realise that she put a strap on and you nod.

She goes to sit and you climb on her lap and then slowly go down on the strap, taking the whole thing in you. You then start to go back and forth on it, riding the strap and wrap your arms around her neck and look at her. She grabs your hips and helps you ride her and she feels it rubbing her clit.

“Yes, ride my strap, take your discipline like a good girl.” She tells you and you moan.

“Yes Ms Schemmenti, I’ll be good.” You tell her and she groans. She slips a finger down to your clit and applies pressure and you gasp out and pull her body closer to you. She pulls you in and kisses you and you feel yourself close to coming. “Omg, I’m so close Miss.” You gasp out and she moans.

“I’m close as well, go on baby, come with me.” She says and seconds later you come and she comes right after you. You stop riding her strap and you get off of her. She holds you to her and you’re both trying to catch your breath. While doing that, you hear a knock at the door and you look at the time and realise it’s probably some of the early trick or treaters. “Ignore them, I’m more interested in this treat.” She says and points to you and you giggle.

“I do have to get ready though. I have a Halloween party to get too.” You say to her and go to get up.

“Nooo, but I want you here and don’t want to let you go.” Melissa says to you as she holds you tight and you giggle.

“Well how about you come with me, and then I can come back here with you.” You suggested and she smiled as she accepted your offer.

“Ok deal.” She tells you and then the two of you get ready and go to the party.

"draw me like one of your french girls"

rook spots you drawing a stunning woman in your sketchbook. now, he has an interesting request for you. will you fulfill it?

~rook hunt x artist!gender neutral reader~ ~based on the iconic line from the movie Titanic~

warnings: reader is a slight tsundere! some suggestive lines but really only because of the reference to that one particular scene in Titanic. other than that, this fic is completely safe for work. thank you~

A woman.

A woman, with a rather sophisticated aura surrounding her, was drawn on the notebook owned by none other than the Ramshackle prefect as they sat underneath a broad apple tree with their good friend Rook observing alongside them. Rook took note of your limitless technique in the arts as he saw how each careful stroke of your pencil served a great purpose to the entirety of your artwork. Simply enchanting, he thought to himself. Though he did wonder who that mysterious lady in your sketchbook was. A friend? Teacher? Family member? Perhaps maybe an idol of yours?

Sensing his questioning look towards your book, you decided to indulge him with his interest in your artwork. 

Turning your attention to him, you asked, “Are you familiar with the Mona Lisa? Leonardo da Vinci? Louvre Museum in Paris?”

Silent, the Pomefiore vice housewarden sitting beside you stared at your form in utter confusion. You resumed gliding your pencil across your sketchbook, sighing at the boy’s cluelessness.

“Who am I kidding, of course you wouldn’t know,” you started, “Well, to fill you in with my knowledge, the Mona Lisa is a well-known painting of a woman in my world. Despite being created by an Italian painter, it is now being kept at a French museum called the Louvre. And I am simply trying to draw a rough sketch of it. But it’s not really going well.” The prefect glared at their lead-covered paper, not entirely satisfied with their work.

Ignoring your own criticisms, however, Rook glanced at you with complete admiration shown on his face. What grand knowledge you have on artistic history! As expected, your beauty does not halt on your physical features, but goes on to your intelligent mind and beyond!

Feigning ignorance to his gawking, though, you pretended to focus on a small portion of your paper, slightly flustered under his innocent look. 

“So, with that being said, I recommend you say whatever you came here to say before I carry on with my drawing. I want to focus and this may take awhile,” you regrettably muttered.

“I do have one request, if I may do so, ma chérie/mon chéri.” An idea struck Rook as he stepped closer, peering deep into your eyes, entrancing you with his gaze. Curious, you urged the unreadable boy in front of you to continue.

“(Y/n), I want you to draw me like one of your French girls.” 

“I told you the Mona Lisa isn’t actually French—”

 “Wearing this,” he interrupted, gesturing to the elegant hat resting on his head.

“...Um, alright, I guess,” you hesitantly replied.

“Wearing only thi— OUCH!”

A resonating smack was then heard throughout the courtyard of Night Raven College.

“Ew, no! What do you take me for, a perv?!”

“Ah~ Mon amour! I jest, I jest!” the dramatic hunter cried, but not visibly hurt, holding his pristine cheek, “However, why do you deny me so?” Surely you would not reject his flourishing love for you so easily, oui? Rook then proceeded to theatrically collapse into the prefect’s unaware arms, fanning himself with the palm of his hand as if he was on the brink of losing consciousness.

“While rejection in itself has its own, incomparable beauty, I do not wish to fall for its trap as I have already fallen weak for your affections instead,” the hunter declared. Seeing as you were caught off guard by his flirtatious stunts, Rook then saw it as a chance to adjust his posture and circle his arms around your waist, effectively pulling you closer to his proximity. 

“Truly, you see it too, correct?”

“Rook Hunt, I suggest you refrain from your unnecessary comments if you really do wish for me to sketch you. In a modest setting, of course.” Your flushed face turned away, brushing off the hunter’s confession in embarrassment. Rook quickly took notice of the red tint in your cheeks, though. Did you really think you could hide from a huntsman such as himself?

“Oh, so your trained eyes deem my looks as gorgeous enough to capture on paper?” he teased with a subtle smirk to his lips.

“No, I did not say that! Like I would ever compliment you, you overbearing hunter!” 

Your words fell deaf to Rook's ears as he chuckled at your dishonest rambling.

“Well, not that I think you're not pretty or whatever— ROOK I SWEAR TO THE GREAT SEVEN, STOP UNTYING YOUR UNIFORM—”

a/n: idk what this is i had an idea and just went with it

It seems like al the songs of the season are not on the official playlist yet. And the more I think about it and the way the show is going I’m kind of convinced that the last song is gonna be Calleth you, cometh I, by the Ark to sort of circle back to the beginning. Also if the show have an open-ended ending it’s just the perfect song. It’s like Lisa heard that song and wrote a show about it. Also a very iconic song!

These Moments from the Season Finale!

The close-up image of Meredith Marks is the perfect summary of how it was watching this episode.

It’s probably one of the best finale episodes ever. And not just for RHOSLC.

It was one of the greatest season finales in the entire franchise!

As it was teased in the premiere episode of season 4, Heather Gay gets an upsetting phone call while on their trip to Bermuda.

It happened while the cameras were down. But she still had her microphone was on and the producers barged into her room to capture the situation.

She threw them out of her room while she cried over the information she had received. The season has now come full circle.

Heather gathered Meredith, Lisa Barlow, and Whitney Rose on the beach before their last dinner in Bermuda, the original four of RHOSLC.

She told them that one in their group wasn’t who she pretended to be. That one in their group had run a fake Instagram account who had trolled them for years!

It was an incredible dramatic scene, and Meredith’s reaction was both iconic and unintentionally funny to me.

Their conversation at the beach was a truly iconic scene!

Heather wanted the women to support her in her confrontation, and it was revealed at the dinner that it was Monica Garcia who had run the Instagram account Reality von Tease!

And as she said, she had: “Receipts! Proof! Timeline! Screenshots! Fucking everything!”

Monica wasn’t able to talk herself out of this.

When Heather had announced that she wanted to confront Monica about some unanswered mysteries, Monica even muttered “Oh God…”

She didn’t seem that surprised that the gig was up.

While Monica appeared calm for most of the time, it was a frenzy of a confrontation.

Heather lost her voice after all the screaming. Lisa was also screaming a lot. Meredith even confronted Monica about lying about the smallest things.

Like lying about never been to Meredith’s store before – while she was captured on security footage with Jen Shah when the handbag was stolen!

It didn’t seem like Angie Katsanevas was included with the information that Monica had conspired against them, and it seemed like the producers wanted the viewers to suspect both of them.

But poor Angie was clearly the target of the season as there had been multiple attacks on her marriage, and then there were the rumours Monica appeared hellbent on bringing onto the show with her finances and possibly being a part of the Greek Mafia!

The emotions were running high, and it seemed like the production was feared they would have to interfere when Angie threatened to throw the flower arrangement at Monica and Lisa got up from her seat.

At the conclusion of the confrontation Heather said that their relationship with Jen had been so toxic and controlling that they had gone far to protect her.

And she finally revealed that it was Jen who had given her the black eye! Now we know.

As Heather told her to pack her bags and leave them, the producer asked Monica in her confessional about her side of the story.

And she left it with such a cliffhanger for the reunion. Can there be more to the story of Reality von Tease?!

[meret118]

The world-famous actor Charlotte Cushman returns to the limelight, with her costumes going on view in a new Smithsonian exhibition.

“She was one of the most, if not the most, famous women in the English-speaking world during her lifetime,” says Lisa Merrill, author of the 1999 When Romeo Was a Woman: Charlotte Cushman and Her Circle of Female Spectators.

Hers was a fame so candescent that Cushman’s social circles included world leaders from President Abraham Lincoln and Secretary of State William Seward to Queen Victoria, and American literary lights from Nathaniel Hawthorne and Walt Whitman to Louisa May Alcott. When she returned to the United States after years regaling European audiences, American newspapers hailed her, says Merrill, as the cultural icon of the era, “Our Charlotte,”—a name so well-known that like today’s Madonna, for decades she needed no last name.

Yet today, her story goes largely forgotten. Stage performances are naturally ephemeral, but Merrill believes that following her death in 1876 after a long battle with breast cancer, the onetime star’s fame declined, primarily because of her sex life. “The attempts to erase her or render her merely unusual, ‘odd,’ or inconsequential have not been accidental; each largely reflects the attitudes toward gender and sexuality at the time the accounts were written, rather than attempts to locate the significance of such attitudes in her time,” Merrill wrote.

Those attitudes form a lens on the life of a woman who loved other women. Throughout her career in the late 19th century, she was cast as an admirable virgin who remained chaste by avoiding men.In the decades following her death at 59, she was stigmatized for her long-term relationships and shorter dalliances with other women. Early 20th-century writers, who failed to identify her as a lesbian, sometimes described her as strangely mannish, asexual—and odd.

However, in recent decades Cushman’s life story is re-emerging from the shadows. Biographer Tana Wojczuk’s 2020 book Lady Romeo: The Radical and Revolutionary Life of Charlotte Cushman, America’s First Celebrity has met with critical praise for reviving the actor’s “force and vitality.”

People need to stop being so cocky about what they think is common knowledge.

If you talk to anyone outside your circle of personal interest they would probably think the Mona Lisa was painted on canvas. Movies have constantly portrayed false facts due to poor research or aesthetics.

HELL the Mona Lisa in Ever After was rolled up in a tube carrier by Da Vinci if that isn't a clue to how movies are more about aesthetics than facts (I mean movies try to be more factual since the internet but if it would improve the plot or visual effect they will still bend or break facts to get what they want)

Reasons the Mona Lisa isn't on wood from a film perspective could be that wood burning isn't as visually interesting as burning canvas, wood burns slower making it feel less dramatic.

Or just not fact checking because nobody thought to question what material the Mona Lisa was painted on. Canvas sounded right in their minds and they just went on with the production.

Also, narratively the real Mona Lisa had to be completely destroyed and lost to the world for it to be Helen's victory. Because nobody would remember the guy who destroyed a fake Mona Lisa, it would be a story for a while but forgotten after the next 20 or so until brought up as some funny party trivia. People only care about the real authentic thing, not a copy.

Personal thought : If there was a chance for some of the Mona Lisa to survive it would give Miles some leeway since some of the cultural icon survived. Yes, I said leeway because people are like that. Not the French Government. They would definitely sue Miles for breach of contract because that shutdown button was definitely done behind their backs but in public opinion. Another narrative theme of the movie was public reputation and I can already imagine the Twitter feud of Mona Lisa fans (or Anti-Miles ppl) vs Miles Stans who are saying they like the half-burned Mona Lisa more since it makes it look cooler. We've all seen people stand by YouTubers/celebrities/influencers for morally worse things than a ruined painting.

Again it would have to be the complete destruction of the Mona Lisa for it to ruin his reputation.
