by Maryn Liles | Ah, Christmas: the most wonderful time of the year! While the gifts and family traditions are part of what makes Christmas so special, the meaning behind the holiday matters, too—and these Christmas scriptures and Bible verses about Christmas sum it up perfectly...

All this sounds pretty comphet to me Ryan

Dazed and confused

It would appear the recent 'zoo happening' managed to somewhat unsettle Mordor. Anons zipping back and forth to the Sopranos' blogs, with their own take on what we made of it (no, #silly *urv Anon, I did not request to follow that woman's private IG!).

It took Queen *urv more than 24 hours to come back with a denial:

Ahem. She probably thinks we are all idiots, with a very clear, collective amnesia problem:

Yeah, pumpkin. S at the zoo. In MIA. Last December. And I am not even mentioning the Belgian hotel-cum-zoo while shooting TCND - let's not nitpick.

But hey, again: don't trust me. Trust Parade (https://parade.com/news/sam-heughan-wild-animal-miami-instagram-photos-2022):

Cringe 😱 comments on top:

Note I am not implying anything related to the 'Zoo Incident' comment. I am not connecting the MIA pictures and that recent IG comment that was hidden. It is what it is. The woman who posted about it has some clear issues I do not wish to discuss publicly: I explained why on another occasion (https://www.tumblr.com/sgiandubh/729056363323523072/the-stigma?source=share).

This is a sensitive topic and a personal red line. What she might have seen is another thing, but given what's been made of it, that almost doesn't even matter, anymore. Cue in a fresh trail of arrangements with reality and you have a retcon attempt by the book.

Hahaha. Indeed.

Anyways. Off to more serious topics, now.

I wonder why all the Ryan interviews? You’d think it should be Oliver doing the interviews or even Aisha…

Books - I luv them

Alright, so the Parade Mag released their 125 Best Romance Books of All Time list, and I was ecstatic to see so many books that I have and do love on the list.

From books I read and re-read over and over as a teen such as Pride and Prejudice. As well as some of my all-time favorite books Love in the Time of Cholera, Outlander, and Wuthering Heights.

The list would not have been complete without some of the books that I have loved more recently such as Rainbow Rowell's Eleanor & Park, Casey McQuiston's Red White and Royal Blue, and Alexis Hall’s Boyfriend Material.

It of course includes so many others I have yet to mention of the 50-something that I have read off the list such as John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars, and so many others that were already on my To-Read list, and many more that I have now added. This list is truly the best gift to all readers - so go enjoy it!

Heath Burns x son of pestilence

→ Request: Adhfssff I’m starved for content so please considering the following: a one shot of Heath Burns falling for the son of Pestilence. Basically Too much energy x No energy

→ A/N: Shoutout to this Anon for kickstarting my four horsemen obsession. Also if anyone wants to know where I got the pickup lines from → https://parade.com/1039985/marynliles/pick-up-lines/

→ Warnings:

→ Fandom: Monster High 

→ Genre: Oneshot 

→ Word Count: 408

→ Pronouns: He/Him

Being a monster had its perks for some. Werewolves were strong, vampire's lived long lives and ghosts had their wide array of abilities. Yet it seemed like being the son of one of the four horsemen was nothing but trouble. 

There were reasons most monsters avoided you.

The flies and rats that followed you everywhere, the fact that plants always seemed to rot when you walked past. (Your friendship with Venus made this all the more awkward.) 

At least the horses seemed to like you.

There weren't many reasons for anyone to approach you, yet Heath seemed to find any excuse in the book.

You’d been tending to the horses (gloves and mask on, of course) when a ball rolled into the stable. Heath came running in, nearly falling into one of the hay bales in the process.

He quickly grabbed the ball and turned to run off, only to see you.

“So, aside from being handsome, what do you do for a living?” He said, leaning against one of the stalls.

“I go to school.” You said in confusion.

 “Oh, uh, cool.” He ran out of the horse barn and back toward the casketball court.

You’d expected the interactions to stop there, but they didn't. In the following days it seemed like Heath followed you around everywhere. He’d always be excitedly talking about his day, or asking you questions about yours. He’d even started to ask about your family. 

It was nice to have someone to talk to. You had Venus, but it was fun to have someone new to talk to. Some new who wasn’t afraid of you.

“I think someone has an admirer.” Venus said one day during lunch.

You swatted away a small group of flies from your food, “Who?”

“Duh, Heath likes you.” She said, exasperated.

“I like him too.” You said, quickly taking a bite of your lunch before the rats could steal any.

Speak of the devil and he shall appear. Heath walked up to the both of you.

“I have to go do something,” Venus said as she walked off.

 “Do you happen to have a Band-Aid? ‘Cause I scraped my knees falling for you.”

“You fell down the stairs again didn't you?” You asked.

“Uh, yeah- anyway. Do you want to go on a date?” He asked, almost crushing one of the rats as he sat down across from you.

“Really? Sure” You said.

“Yes!” He fistbumped the air.

Hi there, I was wondering if you have advice on how to do lust spells or something close to that? If you're not comfortable with answering the question I can ask a different question. Thank you!

I have little to no sex experience, i am barely 18, and i'm the spitting image of a virgin [i'm literally some random "human" on tumblr]. But i'm a writer and I work with Lady Aphrodite sooooo... we can make this work.

This topic is kindaaaa iffy...because its on the same grounds as love spells. Free will is important, despite what medieval times wants you to believe. So for ethical reasons imma say don't target one person, target the general demographic of people that you want.

For example, don't specifically target your crush, thats suspicious. HOWEVER, you can target the general group of people you wanna smash.

When it comes to actually spells like this I do have experience, so you better be VERY VERY CLEAR the types of people you wanna target with this spell. Because I had a total of three [3] dudes who thought i was cute, and they were nasty, and I prefer wamen ;_; so thats my horror story.

When it comes to components/ingredients for the actual spellwork, your best friend is the color pink because it is the color of love, or red if you really wanna focus on the lusty parts. Also rose quartz is the best love crystal out there, but carnelian is good if you wanna get more flirty [link: https://parade.com/astrology/best-crystals-for-love-sex-romance ]. Also this is either my intuition acting up or my tulpa being a lil crazy, but casting naked might help? Look into sex magic as well, i'm like 5% sure you can do that solo. I don't do sex magic though, not really my cup of tea. But it might be yours!

I do have a spell that I drew up a while ago, if you want something to springboard off of. Its very simple. Get all of those supplies mentioned before, a piece of paper, and a pen [preferably red or pink]. And write out that criteria for that lust spell. Do it. Just do it.

Another one I found on pinterest;

[ @simplemagicality ]

Full credit to that dude, they made my life much easier with this spell. I'm sure it'll work when it comes to lust as well, even though its not a lust spell. I mean, attention, lust, close enough.

I really hope my ramble helped, thanks for being so considerste about my boundaries as well <3

Yasmine Al-Bustami | Parade Interview - March 25, 2024

Jane (Vanessa Lachey) is divorced. But Jesse has a stable relationship, he’s happily married. So, it’s nice to watch young love in the form of Lucy and Kate as they try to figure out theirs. Are you getting a lot of support from the LGBTQ+ community? How does that feel? We have tons of support. It’s been there since day one, which is really lovely to see. It’s also lovely to see that everyone loves where we’re at now in our relationship, that we’re not so up and down. They’re supporting the stable aspect of our relationship. So, that’s been really cool. Obviously, just working with Tori is such a blast. So, anytime I get to do that then it’s a fun time.

Hi! I took a gander into Sam's IMDb to check his film portfolio to see what I have missed. It showed Everest as "In production"! Any insight on this film? Looks like this could be another great hit for him! Great cast involved. Looks like this movie has taken over 10 years to start production! Wow. I wonder why?

Btw...watched First Light...such a great movie! Proves how talented SamShine is even in his early acting years. He is a man that ages like a fine wine or a fine 20 year old scotch whiskey 😉😍

Hi there. As far as I know, the movie has been put on hold due to scheduling conflicts. I don't think it's happening. 👇

https://parade.com/1223834/paulettecohn/outlander-star-sam-heughan-everest-movie/

But it looks like Sam may be part of a Mt Everest documentary. 👇

https://twitter.com/TheScotsman/status/1700842384894890360?t=6_W6smbtOEuJH9FDTUuMgA&s=19

And here he talks about doing the Everest marathon, which I guess is a 14 day trek to Everest Basecamp, altitude 17,000 feet 👇

https://twitter.com/fra_shiny/status/1701173906873233508?t=q50WyFkSJtKOfQRuFrPe9g&s=19

Sam has always been interested in Mt Everest, so it looks like he's going to do a related project no matter what.

I share his Mt Everest interest, it's always been fascinating to me what propels people to want to climb a 29,000 ft mountain. I got really obsessed a few years ago and watched and read everything on it. Also, I'd follow climbers on IG and watch their trek to the summit. They can only climb during May due to the weather. Fascinating stuff.
