Possible nicknames Lenore called Annabel in life go:

"Anniebell": Sometimes the smallest changes are the cutest, okay? Anniebell Lee sounds adorable as hell and I'll stick by it. Imagine Annabel trying to admonish Lenore for saying some wild shit at a Rich Persons Gala™️ or smth but she keeps breaking out into giggles like, "You- you can't just say that pet!" and Lenore playfully replying, "Oh whatever do you mean, Anniebell Lee?" like UGH I hate them somebody throw hammers at em already 💥💥🔨🔨🔨

“My moon”: in relation to the Annabel Lee poem (‘for the moon never beams/Without bringing me dreams/Of the wonderful Annabel Lee’) and also there’s smth so flavorful of the character with a color palette more akin to the Sun (long shiny blonde hair, warm colored eyes, seemingly more outwardly personality, etc) being called the moon like I loveee contrasting design choices‼️‼️

“Angel”: Also a reference to the poem (but like, worse because it was the angels that separated em) and can be easily pulled from Annabel’s name

“Petal”: Or some other variation of a flower based nickname because imma sad, sad bisexual who loves ✨flower motifs✨ just a bit too much

Anything in Dutch: This can be like common ones like “liefje” (darling) or the previous entries but in Dutch idk go crazy go stupid

“Locket”: An unconventional pick pulled from Annabel’s last name Whitlock + lockets containing pieces of hair from your other half being T H E romantic gesture of the century back then, so, like. Idk. Hear me out like okay I think Lenore could be the unconventional route (I mean girly already faked her death via arson and pulled a Mulan to get the girl soooo you see what I’m putting down?) and like like LIKKEEE⁉️⁉️⁉️ Imagine with me Lenore telling her girl, “You’re the locket I keep nearest to my heart” (many necklaces back then had a chain just long enough for the locket to rest above the wearer’s heart) and it evolves to Lenore calling Annabel smth like “my dearest, my locket” LIKE YOU HAVE TO IMAGINE WITH ME!!! GUYS MY VISION IS VISIONING!!! 🦅🗣️🌈🗣️🗣️🦅🦅🌈🗣️🦅🦅

i think what really sells me on brocedes is the fact that they still, to this day, live in the same building. isn't that crazy??? your ex best friend with whom you had a very public falling out with still lives in the same building as you. no one told them to stay there, they chose to do that!!! like nico, i understand. he's got a wife and kids. it'd probably be too much work to uproot them and move somewhere new. but lewis? every time i blink that man is at a new fashion show or fuckin hanging out with shakira. he does not have to live there!!! he does not have to live two floors away from his ex childhood best friend!! and like i know for a fact that there are other luxury condos or apartment or whatever in monaco!! he does not have to do this!!!

HELLO MRS EREN!!!!! SELFSHIP ME!!!!!! i once ran away from a starbucks employee bc he wanted to talk to me (ill tell you ab this later), i rlly want a cat, i rode my bike every day in the summer so i had rlly muscled calves??? and i cried when we talked about jean dying sooooo BE A MATCHMAKER!!! mwah <33

HI NICOLE. i’m leaving armin out of this one bc he’s my fav to ship you with and i want a challenge but ofc you got all your faves anyway.

firstly reiner came to mind oddly enough? i think he would really vibe w someone whose sensitive and lets their feelings roll through easily (bc he does that once he’s comfortable) AND he would rly dig someone shy. i think he’s shy himself and wouldn’t be scared to keep trying to get to know u. not to mention he’s incredibly patient so you would get to dictate the pace of everything.

secondly choso. ofc choso. you two are so similar like, choso is glaring at the starbucks employee grabbing your hand refusing to speak and is more than happy to just make coffee at home if you want to leave lol. plus he seems like he loves to listen i feel like you could recite all of lv and vv end to end to him and he’d just watch with sparkles in his eyes. he would let u get 2,000 cats bc he is a cat, and he loves to be surrounded by his kinfolk.

OK THIRDLY……pock would just eat you up. yk what??? it’s the calves LOL. he strikes me as such a leg man!!!! i think your shyness would also confuse/intrigue him, he’d make such a show about teasing you for the starbucks incident. he’ll try and push you to come outside of your shell when he’s getting to know you (HE LITERALLY WILL STOP AT NOTHING). i think he’s often just going for blind support, like he doesn’t need to understand why you’re crying to just know “ok, big hug, forehead kisses, let it out” he doesn’t question you just lets you be you <3

I LOVE YOUUUUU MY SPECIAL PERFECT BABY SUNSHINE PAL SEND ME MORE PORCO HCS WHILE I TAKE A MORNING NPA

Hi! I thought about that Thena maybe sees his bruises that he got from falling down the stairs, when he makes himself ready for the night and is worried about him?

Maybe some soft moment?

I think it was from the teach me to love au!

"Gil."

He turned at that soft voice. He pulled his t-shirt on the rest of the way and turned on his side of the bed, "what's up, Angel?"

Thena came into the room, pushing the door closed gently behind her. She padded over to him, eyes running over him in the soft light of the lamp. "Let me see."

He almost wasn't sure what she was talking about at first, until he saw her eyes on him. As much as he might have enjoyed turning this into some teasing, maybe a little fun. He sighed.

Thena bit into her lip as he pulled his shirt off again, exposing the bruises that were forming and already starting to develop colour. "Gil, these are bad."

"I've had worse," he chuckled, but got poked between the ribs with a thin, manicured finger. "Ah!"

"I mean it," she muttered, not indulging in his attempt to laugh it off. "Gil, you could have gotten really hurt."

He frowned, turning on the bed to look at her better. She had tears in her eyes, "Thena-"

"Do you know how I started telling Druig no running?--especially with socks on?" She adjusted her legs beside her, winding out of her nightdress. "He was just starting to walk."

"You have to watch them at that age so closely," she shook her head as she remembered it. "I was still at home with him full time, but I just...I just had to run to the office for a few minutes."

Gil didn't like the sound of this, most definitely barrelling towards a story of her ex-husband.

"I told Kro to watch him, I still had baby gates up, I thought-" Thena cut herself off, pinching her eyes closed. Her whole body shuddered. "I was only gone a half hour."

Gil pulled her closer to him, nuzzling her temple, "what happened, Angel?"

She sniffled. "I came back and Druig was screaming bloody murder. I asked Kro what happened and he said he didn't know. He was in the living room and Druig was 'around'."

Gil rolled his eyes.

"Druig had gotten up enough momentum that he couldn't stop and slid right into the corner of the coffee table," she sighed, her shoulders dropping. "When I looked at his hair he even had some blood. I was angrier than I ever remember being in my life."

"I think that's understandable, Angel," Gil kissed her hair. And it sounded exactly like the Kro they knew (unfortunately).

"Ever since then I'm particularly vigilant about running, and sock feet, and especially stairs-"

Gil pressed a kiss to Thena's forehead, reclining her more in his arms so they could look at each other without hurting their necks. "I'm sorry, Thena. I knew the rule had a reason and I indulged him too much."

She put her hand on his cheek, "it's not like I never indulge it. These things happen."

He still felt bad about it.

She tapped her finger against his chin, "Gil, you protected him from something that happens to kids everyday. That is all that matters, you know."

"I know, but," he shook his head. He gave her a wincing expression, "well, maybe I was feeling a little more indulgent than I usual because of the whole-"

"Personal space."

They both laughed as they finished the collective and familiar sentence. Thena nodded, "it's been hard for you."

Gil shook his head, "it's been hard on Druig."

Thena tilted her head at him, "on you, too. You've been extra careful around him. It's hard when they're unhappy with you."

Gil nodded. She knew very well what it was like to have to be the villain based solely on making the responsible decisions. "We were having fun."

Thena smiled, kissing him gently, "he loves you."

He leaned into her touch on his cheek, "I love him too, Angel."

"He trusts you enough to ask you not to tell me," Thena offered both to help his spirits and with not that pleased an expression.

"Ah, kids do that," he shrugged, settling them on the bed more comfortably. "I guess it's good that he trusts me, still."

"He always trusted you, Gil," she leaned up and pecked his cheek as he settled her on his chest against the pillows, "he just got a little shaken up."

He chuckled; that could be said about the 'personal space' incident and the fall just today. He sighed.

"It'll pass," Thena promised him as she pulled the comforter up around them. She leaned up to kiss him again, "Druig trusts you. And I trust you, love."

Amazing how a Tom King book has got all the right wing knobs completely triggered.

[gothamcityneedsme]

[jirawatan]

Something's different.

[iicraft505]

someone kill me, just straight up put me down. my annoying former coworker returned as a volunteer and he annoys me under the best of circumstances but. literally I just said that I don't do dishes that often (meaning not often enough for it to have fucked up my name tag), and he was like "I think it's weird that you would admit to not doing your job" like bitch that's not what I fucking said but okay. And then I was like well I do them sometimes when it's needed and he was like "um..." in that "no you don't way" and said "there were a ton of dishes in the sink when I got here" yeah because I was fucking taking care of birds all day, dipshit! I was feeding our incubator birds every 30 minutes, I did literally all of our outdoor dishes (there was a mountain when I got in today!), I helped catch two very full adult bird outdoor flight cages for weighing and release, I went to release some hatchling turtles, and did all the other miscellaneous cleaning tasks that pile up when feeding hummingbirds. Sorry I didn't have a spare second to do the fucking inside dishes!
