SPY x FAMILY x CHAIR Vol. 7~8~9

SxF Vol 7 · Damian Desmond - Willow Chair

The Willow Chair was designed by Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh in the early 20th century. The chair was originally designed for use in The Willow Tea Rooms Company, a cafe and tea room that Mackintosh also designed in Glasgow, Scotland. The chair was part of a larger collection of furniture pieces designed for this company.

The concept of tea rooms was popular in Victorian and Edwardian times, and was considered a meeting place for the upper middle class.

The design shows a progressive approach to design, suggesting that the chair is at the forefront of creative thinking and is sleek, modern and curious. It stands out for its simplicity in geometric patterns. The chair features straight, minimalist lines in its structure, with curved wooden elements at the top to provide head and neck support.

A distinctive feature is its triangular backrest, which extends upward from the arms at an acute angle to create a sleek and elegant silhouette. The seat also features an elaborate lattice pattern, made from hand-woven wicker, which adds texture and dimension to the chair.

I’m Damian, scion of the Desmond family! I’ll be a politician one day and protect this country!

I love the way the dimension of the chair in disproportionate to Damian's body, who is clearly a kid with a very big precedent behind him, a very big ego and pride in possessing the last name Desmond, and it projects very well the way it makes Damian look more imposing for his age while giving you a look that continually judges you, adorably.

Damian is someone who projects himself from greatness, and his constant yearnings to be a recognized figure such as his family, even so, his childlike soul continues to exist.

However deep down, behind all the Desmond pride (Reflected in the chair) are his yearnings to really have fun and enjoy his childhood wanting to play with his balls, read manga, play with dinosaurs. He is definitely a little boy with a lot behind his shoulders.

SxF Vol 8 · Franky Franklyn - Eames Lounge chair & Ottoman

The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman were designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1956, an American designer couple.

It was created from the idea of a "comfortable as a glove" chair, with an ergonomically molded seat and back shell combined with a plywood base. It was originally designed for the Herman Miller furniture company.

It was designed to provide comfort and relaxation, elegant and attractive that will complement any living space. The chair features clean, simple lines and a minimalist structure that emphasizes its elegance and ergonomics. The base is made of plywood, bent in several layers and smoothly polished to give it a smooth, refined finish.

Can we talk about how relaxed and cool Ostania's best informant looks? I love how the combination of this chair reflects Franky's relaxed but refined personality, a genius at his job even if often not properly appreciated. However, we can see his details, a bit messy, his taste for money, some good cigars, some confidential envelopes.

It's interesting when you remember that Franky seems to hate the handsome, moneyed show-offs who seem to be very lucky, even though he wishes he was one. He is simple and laid back, with a classy side and a profitable bottom line.

SxF Vol 9 · Becky Blackbell  - Coconut Chair

The Coconut chair was designed by architect and designer George Nelson in 1955 who was the design director for Herman Miller.

The chair was inspired by the designer's tropical landscape during his visit to the Fiji Islands. Nelson observed a group of children playing with one half of a coconut shell and realized that the shape and curve of the coconut shell could be harnessed to design a comfortable, modern chair. It was created as a highly engineered piece of furniture that offered a high level of comfort.

Although originally designed as a lounge chair, the Coconut chair is suitable for any space, from offices to homes. The stainless steel tripod base is an attractive design element, its fine details such as the apparent stitching on the upholstered

"You and I should be best friends"

I like how both the Coconut chair and Becky could be described as elegant, sophisticated, avant-garde and with a lot of personality. Despite her young age, we know that Becky has a very definite personality, sometimes with a very volatile and fanciful imagination.

Unlike many Spy x Family characters and their respective chairs, the elements are usually placed at the back or bottom with respect to the chair, always covered by some slight shadow, reflecting those elements that characterize the respective personality.

However, all of Becky's things are clearly displayed and stacked with bright colors. We know that it refers to all the riches and luxuries Becky has, as well as her passion for fashion and shopping.

But also, it's a way of expressing how authentic Becky is and how she's not afraid to show her true personality without having to hide it.

lazy day

masterlist ! pairing: Rafe Cameron x reader

SUMMARY : Rafe and Y/N are having a lazy day

Outer Banks Masterlist

The soft sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow in Rafe Cameron's room. You and Rafe had decided that today would be a lazy day, a welcome break from the usual chaos that surrounded the Pogues' lives in the Outer Banks. The day unfolded with no plans, just a desire to revel in each other's company without the pressures of the world outside.

Rafe yawned as he stretched out on his bed, still clad in his sleep-rumpled clothes. You sat cross-legged next to him, the cozy atmosphere enveloping you both. The scent of coffee wafted in from the nearby kitchen, teasing your senses.

"Lazy day, huh?" Rafe said, a playful smirk on his lips. "No adventures, no drama, just us."

You chuckled, running your fingers through his tousled hair. "Exactly. Just us, a cup of coffee, and whatever we feel like doing."

Rafe sat up, leaning against the headboard, his eyes fixated on you. "Sounds perfect to me."

You leaned in, pressing a gentle kiss to his lips. The kiss lingered, a sweet exchange that set the tone for the laid-back day ahead. As you pulled away, Rafe's eyes sparkled with affection.

"Let's start this lazy day right," he suggested, reaching for his phone to cue up some music.

The room filled with the mellow tunes of Rafe's chosen playlist, creating a comfortable ambiance. You settled back against the pillows, the soft melodies providing a backdrop for the day's relaxation. Rafe poured two cups of coffee, handing one to you before reclining beside you.

Sipping the warm brew, you exchanged lazy smiles. "To the perfect lazy day," Rafe toasted, clinking his mug against yours.

"To us," you agreed, the simple sentiment carrying a world of meaning.

As the morning unfolded, you and Rafe found yourselves lost in a game of cards. The competition was light-hearted, filled with teasing banter and the occasional stolen kiss. The cards scattered across the bed as Rafe leaned in, capturing your lips with his own.

"Looks like I win," he declared with a triumphant grin.

You rolled your eyes, a playful smirk on your lips. "Fine, you win this round. But there's more to come."

With the cards abandoned, you both decided to indulge in a movie marathon. Snuggled under blankets, you let the hours slip away, engrossed in a mix of classic films and guilty pleasures. Rafe's arm draped over your shoulder, pulling you close as you shared laughter and whispered commentary.

"Can you believe that plot twist?" Rafe exclaimed during a particularly dramatic moment.

You chuckled, nuzzling into his side. "I know, right? Total unexpected twist."

As the sun climbed higher in the sky, the aroma of pizza wafted in from the kitchen. Rafe had ordered your favorite, complete with extra cheese and pepperoni. The two of you devoured the slices, savoring the combination of cheesy goodness and the pleasure of each other's company.

The lazy day continued with a series of easygoing activities—reading snippets from favorite books, sharing childhood stories, and occasionally dozing off in the cozy cocoon you had created together.

As the afternoon waned, you found yourselves on the couch, limbs intertwined and the TV playing in the background. Rafe absentmindedly traced patterns on your arm, a contented smile on his face.

"Days like these make me appreciate the simple things," he confessed, his voice a low murmur.

You nodded, your head resting against his chest. "Me too. Just being with you, no distractions or worries—it's perfect."

Rafe pressed a lingering kiss to the top of your head, his embrace tightening. "I love you, Y/N. Lazy days or not, every moment with you is perfect."

The sentiment hung in the air, a sweet acknowledgment of the bond you shared. As the lazy day continued, you and Rafe found joy in the simplicity of love, laughter, and the comfort of each other's presence—a day that etched itself into the memories of lazy, sun-drenched afternoons spent in each other's arms.

1957 Chevy

The Legendary “Black Widow” 1957 Chevy: A Piece of Racing History

When it comes to legendary cars, the 1957 Chevrolet, also known as the “Black Widow,” holds a special place in the hearts of car enthusiasts. However, few people know the intriguing story behind this iconic vehicle. In this article, we will take you on a journey through time and explore the fascinating history of the Black Widow.

The Secret Support Behind the Scenes

In the 1950s, car manufacturers were prohibited from directly promoting racing. Nevertheless, behind closed doors, Chevrolet found a way to support the racing community. They collaborated with a company called SEDCO to build a limited number of race-ready 1957 Chevys. Only 18 of these incredible vehicles were ever produced.

Unleashing the Beast

To create the ultimate racing machine, Chevrolet started with the lightest model available, the no-frills 150 utility sedan. They then equipped these cars with high-performance drivelines that would leave their competitors in awe. The Black Widows proved to be astonishingly fast, setting records and securing multiple victories on the track.

Restoring the Legend

One particular Black Widow has undergone an extensive body-off-frame restoration, meticulously recreating its original glory. The attention to detail is impeccable, resulting in a pristine body that is arguably even better than when it first rolled off the factory floor.

Exquisite Exterior

Painted in the iconic Black Widow colors of Onyx Black and India Ivory, the exterior of this restored beauty is nothing short of breathtaking. Every panel is laser straight, and the gaps are precise. There isn’t a hint of rust or damage to be found. The flawless paint job has been polished to a mirror-like finish, allowing you to see your own reflection. It’s like holding history in your hands.

Interior Simplicity

Inside the Black Widow, you’ll find a minimalist design that emphasizes performance over luxury. There are no frills, not even a back seat! The rear windows are stationary, and amenities such as armrests, visors, and even a dome light are absent. However, this simplicity only adds to the car’s authenticity and racing pedigree.

Attention to Detail

No aspect of the Black Widow’s restoration has been overlooked, including the trunk compartment. Painted in glossy white, it exudes cleanliness and attention to detail. A reproduction mat, seat divider, and weatherstrip have been added to complete the authentic look. Even the spare tire matches the original style with its 6 lug pattern and reproduction Firestone tire.

The Heart of a Champion

Under the hood lies a highly detailed engine compartment that exemplifies show-quality craftsmanship. The 283 cubic-inch V8 engine has been built to its original 283 horsepower specifications, complete with a correct factory fuel injection setup. Not only does it look stunning, but it also performs flawlessly. With a responsive throttle and a distinctive idle, this powerhouse truly embodies the spirit of a race car.

A Masterpiece Underneath

The detailed restoration extends to the underside of the car as well. The chassis has been meticulously prepped and painted in a smooth gloss black finish. Every component has been rebuilt, replaced, restored, and detailed to match the original specifications. The Black Widow features front and rear sway bars, as well as the unique duplication of two shocks at each rear wheel for enhanced performance.

A True Muscle Car

With its completely rebuilt brake system, all-new fuel system, and Flowmaster dual exhaust, this Black Widow not only looks and sounds like a classic muscle car but also performs like one. The spotless Chevy Orange engine block, lower plug wire shielding, canister-type oil filter, restored starter, and dated 1957 transmission all contribute to creating an authentic driving experience. The floors, braces, and rockers have been meticulously restored to their original factory red oxide primer finish.

I wish I could control my dreams because a 30 year old with colorful stationary with glittery gel pens sounds like way more fun lol

Ps- he was an ass but he had his moments. I will deny any attraction if asked lol

I can't control your dreams either, dear anon, but I can write you a small drabble~ enjoy ✨ [no warnings, only fluff and glitter gel pens] ***

You are the only person Bradley knows with a pen holder in their house—a filled, regularly used pen holder, no less. The container itself is nothing special, just one of those black metal mesh cups you’ll find at any office supply store, sitting on the corner of your desk. It’s deceptive in its simplicity. It’s filled to the brim with a colorful selection of pens of all different types, although Bradley never paid much mind to it. He generally has no need to write things down—he has his phone, doesn’t he?

The first time he notices is when he meets you for dinner one evening after work; you’ve only been seeing each other for a few months. Everything is fresh and new, and you’re still learning about each other. You are dressed in the regular muted colors you wear to the office—understated, elegant. Deceptive in its simplicity. As you lean into him, hand on your chin, the sparkle in your eye as you look at him lovingly isn’t the only thing that glitters. On the side of your hand, at the crease of your wrist, the soft light of the restaurant playfully reflects from a pink glittery smudge.

“What’s that?” Bradley inquires curiously as he gently pulls your hand toward him to inspect the smudge. The moment you notice what he’s looking at, you pull your hand back, nervously rubbing your fingers over the spot, which won’t budge.

“I must have bumped into something,” You mumble, mortified. 

Bradley decides not to push you on the issue that evening, but as time passes, more parts of your glittering personality shine through. The silliness of singing together in the car, to the soft sincerity of slow-dancing in the kitchen late at night. And he keeps seeing the pale, shimmering smudges on your hands and fingers after a long day—a small reminder of the person you're really under the serious exterior you put up for work. But it takes Bradley an embarrassingly long time to figure out where those smudges are coming from; his brain seems to end up at it, probably being makeup (despite you certainly not wearing any glitter to work).

You are working late—you’re still on the phone when you climb into Bradley’s car, an annoyed look on your face, tone clipped. Your relationship is much more serious now, the months past only making your feelings deeper.

The moment your eyes meet his, you wink playfully, face breaking out into a smile. Bradley smiles back—and you have to bite your lip not to have the breath get knocked out of you. Rather, you return to your phone call, the smile immediately melting off your face as Bradley steers the car out of the company parking lot.

Digging your notebook out of your bag—a sturdy, black hardcover, you leaf through it to the page that you need, reading off the points coldly to the person on the other end of the line. Bradley glances over curiously. The page in front of you is filled with notes in simple black ink, but the margins are overflowing with patterns and doodles with what Bradley finally recognizes. It’s something buried deep inside his mind, something he hasn’t seen since the awkward days of middle school.

And suddenly, it all clicks. The smudges, the errant glitter, and even the measure of mortification that came with it: you still write with glitter gel pens. Bradley can’t help but laugh quietly as you wrap your phone call.

“What’s so funny?” You grin at him, slipping your notebook back into your bag, before you stretch languidly. 

“You,” Bradley laughs. 

“Really?” Smile on your face, you flip the visor down, using the small mirror to unpin your hair. “What did I do this time?”

“You are the only person that I know that still uses a notebook,” He starts, carefully monitoring your reaction from the corner of his eye. “It’s cute.” He adds.

“I remember important things better when I write them down rather than typing them,” You reply, relaxed now, smiling as you run your fingers through your hair. “It’s my secret weapon.”

“Especially when you use glitter gel pens for page decoration?” Bradley teases. A beat passes before you burst out laughing. 

“It makes my day a bit more colorful,” You admit. “My work is drab enough as it is.” 

“Do you send your colleagues reminders written in pretty glittery colors instead of emails?” Bradley jokes, laughing along with no.

“Absolutely not.” You defend yourself, feigning offense but unable to keep the corners of your mouth quirking up. “That’s only for truly important messages.” 

“Such as?” 

You shrug. “I don’t know, I never had to write one yet.” 

It’s weeks later, when Bradley is away on a training mission, that he finds the small folded-up note safely tucked into the side pocket of his bag. Your neat looping script, in glittery pink, sending the most important message, meant only for him:

I love you.

Cuddling with Captain

The night was quiet at the military base, the sounds of distant crickets and the occasional rustle of leaves creating a calming symphony. Inside the dimly lit room, Y/N sat nestled against the warmth of the blankets, their thoughts drifting like the wisps of a dream.

Captain Price entered the room, his usually stern expression softened by the gentle atmosphere. He moved with a practiced grace, the weight of his responsibilities temporarily set aside. Catching Y/N's eye, he smiled, a rare sight that sent a flutter through Y/N's heart.

"Mind some company?" Price asked, his voice a quiet rumble in the tranquil space.

Y/N's lips curled into a contented smile as they patted the space next to them on the bed. "Not at all. It's quite cozy here."

Price settled in beside you, his presence bringing a sense of security that was hard to put into words. You shifted, allowing him to wrap an arm around your shoulders, pulling you in with a gentle squeeze.

You'd leaned into him, head finding its place on his chest, the steady rhythm of his heartbeat lulling you into a comfortable calm. The scent of his uniform, a mix of earth and gunpowder, was strangely comforting, a reminder of the world he navigated daily.

Outside, a soft breeze whispered through the window, its touch cool against their skin. Y/N closed their eyes, fingers idly tracing patterns on Price's chest. The world felt distant, as if it were just the two of them in their own cocoon of tranquility.

"Do you ever find solace in these quiet moments?" Price's voice, usually firm and commanding, held a hint of vulnerability.

Y/N looked up, meeting his gaze. "More than you know. It's a chance to escape the chaos, even if it's just for a little while."

Price nodded, his fingers brushing Y/N's hair back with a tenderness that surprised them. "We all need a respite from the storm. It's what keeps us grounded."

As the night wore on, they remained entwined, each heartbeat and whispered word stitching them closer together. The weight of their duties and the battles they faced seemed to fade in the presence of such simplicity.

And so, in the embrace of the quiet night, Y/N and Captain Price found a connection that transcended the battlefield, a bond forged not just in combat, but in the shared warmth of a simple, cherished moment.

Wishes- Gojo Saturo x (F) Reader

It was a beautiful spring morning, the sun casting a warm golden glow over the world. A gentle breeze rustled through the field, causing the wildflowers to sway in harmony. Fluffy white clouds drifted lazily across the clear blue sky, creating a picturesque backdrop for the day.

Gojo Satoru found himself sitting amid this serene setting, surrounded by vibrant green grass and colorful blossoms. Beside him sat a woman, whose presence seemed to add an extra magic touch to the already enchanting atmosphere. Her name was (Y/n),...she was a captivating mystery, a personification of the beauty that surrounded them…at least that's how he felt about her...

They sat there, side by side, engaged in a conversation that flowed effortlessly. Their words danced in the air, carrying with them laughter, dreams, and shared experiences. Gojo's voice was soothing, his words carrying a sense of wisdom and understanding that made (y/n) feel seen and valued.

As they continued to talk, (Y/n)’s eyes sparkled with delight, her expression turning surprised. She couldn't contain her smile as she gently pressed her finger against the corner of Gojo's nose, making him blink a few times. With a playful gesture, she revealed one of his white eyelashes, delicately perched on her index finger.

"Look, it's a wish," she exclaimed, her voice filled with childlike wonder. Gojo looked at her, confusion evident in his eyes. Sensing his confusion, (Y/n) explained the silly tradition she had grown up with. In her country, finding a loose eyelash meant making a wish. You would blow it off the tip of your index finger and let it float away, carrying your deepest desires with it.

Gojo chuckled softly, his laughter like music to (Y/n)'s ears. He found joy in the simplicity of her traditions, in the way she found beauty in the smallest of things. It was one of the many reasons he found himself falling in love with her, over and over again. But he never voiced these feelings, knowing that her heart did not desire him in the same way.

They sat there, basking in the warmth of the sun, as (Y/n) blew the eyelash off her finger. It danced in the wind, twirling and spinning before disappearing into the vast expanse of the sky. It was a fleeting moment, a simple act, but it held a profound significance for both of them.

At that moment, they understood the power of appreciating the little things, and 

finding joy in the simplest of connections. 

"(Y/n), have you ever wondered what lies beyond the horizon?" Gojo asked, his eyes filled with a sense of curiosity.

She pondered his question for a moment, her gaze fixed on the distance. "I have," she replied, her voice carrying a hint of wonder. "I often find myself daydreaming about the unknown, about the endless possibilities that await us."

Gojo nodded, a thoughtful expression crossing his face. "There's something magical about the unknown, isn't there? It holds the promise of adventure, of new beginnings."

They fell into a comfortable silence, their eyes tracing the patterns of the clouds as they drifted across the sky. The wind whispered through the field, carrying with it the scent of blooming flowers. It was a moment of serenity, of being fully present in each other's company.

"(Y/n), what is your greatest wish?" Gojo asked, breaking the silence.

She turned to him, her eyes shining with a mixture of hope and vulnerability. "My greatest wish is to find my purpose, to make a difference in the world. I want to leave a mark, no matter how small."

Gojo smiled, his gaze filled with admiration. "I do not doubt that you will achieve great things, (Y/n). Your passion and determination are truly inspiring."

As the day wore on, their conversation delved into deeper topics, exploring their fears, and dreams, and shared love for the world's beauty. They laughed, they debated, and they discovered new facets of each other's personalities.

But amidst the laughter and shared moments, there was an unspoken understanding between them. (Y/n) knew that Gojo's love for her was different from her feelings. She cherished their friendship, their connection, but her heart belonged to another. It was a bittersweet realization, one that she carried silently within her.

As the sun began its descent, casting a warm golden hue over the field, (Y/n) couldn't help but steal glances at Gojo. His features were illuminated by the soft light, his eyes reflecting the colors of the setting sun. She wished she could freeze this moment, and capture it in her memory forever.

But time, like the passing clouds, was relentless. The day drew to a close, and they both knew it was time to part ways. Slowly they stood up, their gazes lingering on each other, reluctant to let go of the connection they had forged throughout the day.

"(Y/n)," Gojo began, his voice filled with gratitude and longing. "Thank you for today. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, your dreams, and your laughter with me. You bring so much light into my life."

Tears welled up in (Y/n)'s eyes, a mixture of joy and sadness. She reached out, her hand gently cupping Gojo's cheek, feeling the warmth of his skin beneath her touch. "And you bring so much joy into mine," she whispered, her voice filled with unspoken emotions.

They stood there, caught in a moment of unspoken affection, their hearts yearning for something more. But the reality of their circumstances weighed heavily upon them. (Y/n) knew that her heart belonged to another, and Gojo respected that, even if it pained him.

With a final lingering gaze, they reluctantly let go of each other's hands. The sun dipped below the horizon, casting a soft glow over the field. The world seemed to hold its breath as if acknowledging the depth of their unspoken connection.

"(Y/n)," Gojo said softly, his voice carrying a tinge of sadness. "Our paths may diverge, but the memories we've created today will forever hold a special place in my heart."

She nodded, her voice choked with emotion. "And in mine as well, Gojo. Thank you for reminding me of the beauty in the little things.”

As they began to walk away from each other, their steps heavy with unspoken words, they couldn't help but steal one last glance. Their eyes met, silently conveying a multitude of emotions - love, longing, and a profound sense of gratitude.

and as they disappeared into the distance, their hearts carried the weight of unspoken love. They knew that their connection would forever remain a cherished memory, a reminder of the beauty that can be found in the simplest of encounters.

This is nice #2

Random post-game scene in not ascended scenario. Maybe in a break in between another, new mission? No spoilers, only fluff 😊

In the quiet moments between their adventures, Astarion and Elowen found a semblance of peace beneath the shade of ancient trees. The campfire crackled softly, casting a warm glow that painted the night in hues of amber and gold. Surrounded by the comforting rustle of leaves, they shared a stolen moment away from the prying eyes of their companions.

Seated on a fallen log, Astarion absently traced patterns on the ground with a slender twig, his crimson eyes catching the flickering flames. Elowen, nestled beside him, hummed a gentle tune—a melody that echoed the quiet joy they discovered in each other.

With a mischievous glint in his eyes, Astarion turned toward her. "You know, for an undead creature, I've become surprisingly fond of these serene moments."

Elowen chuckled, a sound that danced in the tranquil air. "Surprising indeed. Who would've thought the chaotic vampire spawn would appreciate a quiet night?"

His fingers, cool but gentle, entwined with hers. "Well, it's not every day you find someone who can make even eternity seem less daunting."

The lighthearted banter gave way to a comfortable silence. The moon above, a silent witness, cast its ethereal glow upon them. Astarion leaned in, his lips brushing against the crown of Elowen's head, a gesture so tender it spoke volumes.

She leaned into his embrace, relishing the warmth that radiated from his cool touch. "Do you miss the sun?" she asked, her gentle voice a soft murmur.

Astarion considered the question, his gaze fixed on the distant stars. "Sometimes. But... then I realize that the moonlight has its own kind of magic. And besides, the night has its perks."

Elowen tilted her head, a playful smile playing on her lips. "Oh? Like what?"

Astarion's response was a light kiss on her forehead. "Like the fact that I can steal kisses from you without worrying about getting sunburned."

Laughter bubbled between them, a melody that blended seamlessly with the rustling leaves and the crackling fire. In the quiet heart of the night, under the celestial tapestry of stars, they found solace in the simplicity of each other's company—a love story unfolding in the hush of a moonlit night.

This...

...this was nice.

As you turned the key in the lock of our shared house, a familiar warmth embraced you. Opening the door, you were greeted by a delightful sight that filled your heart with joy. There he was, Seonghwa, home earlier than usual, his collection of vibrant nail polishes spread out on the living room table like a beautiful mosaic of colors. Watching him carefully painting his nails brought a soft smile to your face.

You approached him with a light heart, feeling grateful for two special reasons. Firstly, Seonghwa being home early was a rare delight, aligning your busy lives for a precious moment together. Secondly, the sight of the nail polishes hinted at your cherished ritual - Seonghwa painting your nails, a simple yet cherished activity you shared

"Hello there," you greeted, your voice filled with warmth and affection.

Seonghwa looked up, his eyes sparkling with happiness as he met your gaze. "Hey! You're just in time. I thought of trying out a new design today. What do you think?" He showed you a pattern he had been experimenting with on his nails, a beautiful depiction of the night sky with twinkling stars.

You sat beside him, feeling content in the simplicity of your shared moment. "I love it," you said sincerely. "It feels like having a piece of the night sky right at our fingertips."

As Seonghwa carefully selected colors for you, you shared stories of your day, enjoying each other's company. His attentive focus and tender touch infused each brush stroke with love and gentleness, enriching your connection with every stroke.

The act of painting nails may seem ordinary to most, but for you, it was a canvas for connection. In these moments, your conversations flowed effortlessly, delving into your dreams, fears, and laughter. Seonghwa's presence allowed a vulnerability that strengthened your relationship, creating a space of intimacy and trust.

Once he finished, you admired your nails, adorned with a mesmerizing night sky created by Seonghwa's skilled hands. It was a visual reminder of the love and care you shared.

"It's perfect, just like you," you said with a smile, feeling grateful for the love you shared.

Seonghwa cleaned up the brushes, his task completed. "I'm glad you like it. These little moments with you mean the world to me," he said softly, his words filled with sincerity.

You settled on the couch, wrapped in each other's arms, enjoying the comfort of your shared silence. In that moment, you realized that these small moments, like painting nails, were the foundation of your relationship simple yet profound, weaving a tapestry of love and friendship in your cozy home together.

Hello! Is it ok if I request again? If not then please do ignore this(⁠◡⁠ ⁠ω⁠ ⁠◡⁠)

Otherwise, can I request William comforting wife!reader after she comes home from an exam, which didn't go very well, and they spend the rest of the day cuddling?

I just want him to be proud (⁠ ⁠･ั⁠﹏⁠･ั⁠)

Is this too specific? I don't know, but thank you very much 😘😘

Pairing: William James Moriarty x Reader

Genre: Fluff

Summary: ^

Warnings: None

You arrive home after a grueling exam, the weight of disappointment heavy upon your shoulders. The day had started with such promise, but somewhere along the way, everything had gone wrong. As you enter your shared residence with William, you can't help but let out a weary sigh.

The sound catches William's attention, and he emerges from his study, concern etched across his face. His piercing scarlet eyes meet yours, and he immediately senses something is amiss. "Darling, what happened?" he asks, his voice a gentle rumble.

You try to smile, but it falters, and tears well up in your eyes. "The exam... It didn't go well at all," you confess, your voice barely a whisper.

Without a moment's hesitation, William closes the distance between you, enveloping you in his warm embrace. His arms, strong yet tender, wrap around you, providing solace in the midst of your disappointment. You bury your face in his chest, seeking comfort and finding it in the steady rhythm of his heartbeat.

"You are so much more than a single exam, my love," William whispers into your hair. "You are intelligent, capable, and I believe in you wholeheartedly."

His words soothe the ache in your heart, and you cling to them, desperately needing their reassurance. In this moment, you find solace in the fact that someone believes in you when you struggle to believe in yourself.

William gently guides you to the living room, where the two of you settle on the plush couch. He pulls you into his lap, cradling you like a precious treasure. The comfort of his arms, coupled with the rhythmic caress of his hand on your back, lulls you into a state of tranquility.

As you rest against him, William peppers tender kisses along your temple, his lips whispering words of encouragement against your skin. "You are resilient, my love. One setback does not define you. Remember that failure is but a stepping stone towards greater success."

His words stir something within you, reigniting the flickering flame of hope. With each passing moment, the weight of disappointment begins to dissipate, replaced by the warmth of William's love and unwavering support. In his embrace, you find the strength to push aside the shadows of self-doubt and look towards a brighter future.

The hours pass, the outside world fading into insignificance as you and William indulge in the simplicity of each other's company. His presence is a balm to your soul, soothing the ache that had settled deep within you. The worries of the day are forgotten as you bask in the love he showers upon you.

William's fingers trace delicate patterns along your arm, his touch both comforting and electrifying. His whispers, like sweet melodies, dance through the air, filling the room with a sense of tranquility. The world outside may be filled with chaos, but here, in this intimate cocoon of affection, you find peace.

Lost in the safety of William's embrace, the two of you share stories, dreams, and aspirations. His genuine interest in your thoughts and feelings makes you feel seen, valued, and cherished. With every word exchanged, the connection between you deepens, and you realize that, with William by your side, no setback can ever extinguish the spark within you.

As the sun dips below the horizon, casting hues of orange and pink across the sky, you remain entwined in each other's arms. The room is bathed in the gentle glow of candlelight, casting a soft halo around your faces. The world outside may continue to spin, but here, within the confines of your love, time stands still.

FINDING THE HOLY IN THE HOLIDAYS:

"Holiness is the center that holds all peripheries; the pure internal absence that makes sense of everyone and everything that comes to visit; the hidden ground beneath feet always running to look for gifts, the held note of a song that leaves a chapel silent or the stopped listener, still and attentive in the busiest, most glittering street.

Holiness is the deep internal, cathedral space where nothing is allowed to happen, thus allowing all other things to happen, a gravitational field of invitation and gathering and a radical letting alone and letting go: of family, of decorations and food, of long held perspectives, what is wanted is reached through letting everything be its self, by giving up on a willed over-planned perfection.

Holiness is the rehabilitation of the discarded; the uncelebrated and the imperfect, into new unities, perceived again as gift.

Holiness is the bringing of the detailed outside into the vast unspoken and horizon-less inside, from where the inside seems to give again, re-simplifying the periphery, our everyday life transformed as if by simply breathing, breathing in and breathing out, back to the world.

Holiness is memory independent of time, not time as besieging force: a vortex in which we run around getting things done, but time radiating out from the place where we stand, welling from the unspoken that holds together all words said at the busy surface; holiness marries hurry to rest, stress to spaciousness, and joy to heartbreak in our difficult attempt to give and receive, dissolving giver and receiver into one conversation, untouched by the hurry of the hours.

Holiness is not necessarily in Bethlehem, nor Jerusalem, nor the largest, most glittering, cathedral, unless we are there in a sincere spirit , in good company, with the invisible, with a friend, with a loved one, with our affections, with our best and most generous sense of self, most of all with a deep form of inhabited silence, a natural, grounded, central conversation with what and how we like to give and how we can be large enough to receive. Holiness is coming to ground in the essence of our giving and receiving, a mirror in which we can see both our virtues and our difficulties, but also, a doorway to the life we want beyond any particular form of exchange. Holiness is the star we did not know we were following.

Holiness is beautiful beckoning uncertainty: our not knowing married to our knowing heartbreak: time celebrated and time already gone so quickly, departed love ones as present as arriving children.

Holiness dissolves the prison of time and lies only one short breath from the present busy moment: one look into the starry darkness of the mid-winter sky at the midnight hour, one glance at a son or a daughter’s face, home through the door at last; one sight of a distressed friend alone in the midst of a crowded celebration.

Holiness is a step taken not to the left or to the right, but straight through present besieging outer circumstances, to the core of the pattern we inhabit at the very center of the celebration. Holiness is reached not through effort or will, but by stopping; by an inward coming to rest; a place from which we can embody the mid-winter spirit of our days, a radical, inhabited simplicity, where we live in a kind of on-going surprise and with some wonder and appreciation, flawed and far from perfection, but inhabiting the very center of a beautiful, unlooked for giftedness. Out of the silence we have the possibility, only the possibility, of learning to love the world and one another again."

WAKE UP BESTIE THIS IS URGENT

So it’s late at night and I’m scrolling through the simplicity pattern website when, this is not a drill….

I saw House of the Dragon sewing patterns!!

Technically they’re not licensed or anything but if you know anything about sewing patterns for costumes, you know it gets pretty dang obvious.

Ok so it’s a pretty basic shape, and it looks like we’ve got an Alicent and a Rhaenyra dress based off of the styling of the models and the colours of the garments. They are not accurate to one single dress either of these characters wear, but it’s a great start, open to plenty of relatively easy modification (take this opinion with a grain of salt I have never modified a pattern) for creativity and maximum cosplay potential. I wish they’d make a Green Green Dress pattern, but I do know that designers and companies are limited to what pieces they can fit inside an envelope (this is the reason why in View B of Simplicity 1009 there isn’t a separate underskirt).

So let’s do some examination!

Starting with View B because it’s on the left, I said it looks like a Rhaenyra pattern mainly because of the color— young Rhae wears a lot of these dull golds (a desert gold if you will?) and beiges when she’s younger, when she’s not wearing red or her dragon-riding fits.

The neckline on the pattern could be easily adapted to either be higher like on the right or more angular like on the left.

The sleeves, however, are reminiscent of two other gowns, with these pattern pieces being good for both Rhae and Alicent.

I love a good open sleeve, and so do they. Also I swear there was another Alicent one with more open sleeves but google images was not kind to me.

Now on to View A! It’s pretty clear from how the neckline is with the trim plus the belt that this dress is modelled after this blue dress Alicent wears, which may or may not be her mother’s.

Now unfortunately the sleeve patterns do not have this amazing “ladder detail” but that would be pretty early to modify in, as well as to cut the neckline lower to add the top “ladder bit”.

This pattern also has Princess seams, like the other view, because it is a relatively simple way to get a good fit around the bust. Now, if you were making a “100% accurate with paper silk and I get the cops called on me because they think I stole it from HoTD’s wardrobe department” cosplay, these would have to be drafted out, because no dresses in the show have Princess seams, most likely because they are a relatively modern fitting technique and the shows in Westeros have historically influenced/inspired costuming. To get the fancy bodice like Alicent’s dress, the easiest way I could think of would be to trace the pattern piece twice, then chop one tracing up into sections with the sections being drawn on the other tracing (so you have a guide on how your puzzle fits together) and remember to include seam allowance if you do this, otherwise you will regret it.

Now this?? This is Daemon. Do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars. Because most of the men on the show (or at least Daemon, Hardin when he’s not in armour defending his lady love— i mean Alicent, and Aemond) wear something similar to this, it’s a great bass with plenty to work with. The vest comes with pattern pieces for either no skirting or longer skirting, as seen in View B vs View A. Also, fun fact, the jacket under the vest/jerkin? It’s a crop top.

There’s a joke to be made here but I just can’t think of it.

These are McCalls patterns, and I have had fit issues in the past with them. Before picking out and cutting your size, I strongly recommend double checking the finished garment measurements, which should be printed on the back of the envelope. This will save you a lot of trouble and from having to buy the same pattern twice in case you cut out a size too small… I speak from personal experience.

Many way, that’s all folks! Personally, I can’t wait to see what Simplicity comes out with in the next few months (they release their new Halloween patterns in like September or something, and suffice to say I’m gnawing at my drywall), and I am praying for a Green Green dress pattern!
