#so I have plenty of food for dinner AND lunch tomorrow if not the day after as well lol

[superbattrash]

how did the grilled veggies and sauce turn out

Omg, hiiiii, thank you so much for asking, that is so sweet of you 😭

It turned out really good, actually! I added not-meat meat into the sauce and all the spices my little white apartment contains ehehe. I was thinking I’d make pasta or maybe rice - or even cauliflower rice!! - for it. And you know what?

I grabbed a granola bar and ate that instead because my tism brain said “nope. we want granola” 🫠

Striker: Hooray! It was your birthday and you were excited you look over to see your partner Striker wasn’t in bed. But when the door opens you see Striker walking in singing you happy birthday while carrying a tray of homemade breakfast. He sat down and kissed you on the lips. “ Happy birthday, darlin’! “ Striker placed a kiss on your lips and set the tray on your lap. You loved how the breakfast looked and smelled. Striker was a good cook you wouldn’t lie so you were glad that your boyfriend made you breakfast in bed. “ So what does my pumpkin, wanna do on their big day? “ Striker asked while he watched you eating the food. You swallowed the pancakes and picked up the napkin and wipe your mouth. “ I was thinking we could go out to lunch and maybe just go on a nice walk. Just do something relaxing since I know we have been both working hard. “ You said. Striker smiled and kissed your head. “ Okay sweetheart, we’ll do just that just tell me where ya wanna eat and we’ll go there. “ Striker pecks you on the lips and stood up to go shower. After finishing breakfast, you decided to join Striker in that shower and helped each other get dressed. Striker whips out his phone and took a picture with you. “ I’ll take plenty more today. “ Striker gave you another kiss as the two of you left. Striker took you out to your favorite place to eat. Striker had his tail wrapped around your waist and you did the same with your tail while the two of you held hands. Striker smiled at you while the both of you took your seat. Since it was your birthday the waitress brought you a small cupcake and you thanked her. You and Striker ordered your food and ate. Striker took plenty of pictures since he wanted you and him to remember this day. After lunch, the two of you held hands and walked together in the park. “ Every year you get more beautiful. “ Striker said while he kissed your cheek. “ So do you want a birthday cake or anything else? Because I plan on making you a birthday dinner. “ Striker said while picking up a cool-looking rock and putting it in his pocket. You looked at your boyfriend with a sweet smile that could melt his heart and you nodded. “ A cake would be nice, can we bake it together? “ You asked. Striker smiled and chuckled. “ Of course darlin’ let’s go to the store and get what we need. “ He said.

You and Striker walked to the store. You decided to ride in the shopping cart which Striker didn’t mind he found it adorable so he pushed you around in the shopping cart as you placed what you both would need for tonight in the shopping cart. “ I’m glad I got paid well for my last target. “ Striker said in a low whisper towards you and gave you a kiss on the cheek. You smiled and got out of the cart as you watched Striker pay for the items. The two of you loaded everything into your car and then drove home. Striker brought the bags inside and wanted you to relax since it was your birthday. You spent the rest of the evening in cozy pajamas and watching whatever you wanted on TV. You weren’t allowed in the kitchen since Striker was cooking but if you needed something you would just shout for your hybrid Imp boyfriend. Striker had snuck past you and into the bedroom, he grabbed something from underneath the bed and snuck back into the kitchen where he then set the table. Striker called you into the kitchen and you stood up. Stepping into the kitchen you saw that Striker had made your favorite meal. “ Striker this is amazing. “ You said and walked over to place a kiss on his cheek. Striker chuckled and pulled you close enjoying the kisses you placed on his cheek. “ Anything for my darlin’ so ready to dig in? “ Striker said with a smirk. You nodded and quickly sat down eating which made Striker laugh, he was glad that you were enjoying the food. After dinner, Striker grabbed something from underneath the table that made you cock your head. “ Here you go darlin’. “ Striker smiled.You grabbed the large wrapped gift and opened it. You saw that Striker had gotten you something that you took a special interest in. “ Striker thank you. “ You softly said. Striker stood up and walked over, he placed a hand on your shoulder. “ Happy birthday (Y/N). “

Jesse: Your boyfriend Jesse was excited that it was your birthday. Because he had made some plans to make your day the special first thing he did was make you breakfast. He also got you a lovely birthday outfit. He gave you a gift which was a necklace with your zodiac sign on it. “ Happy birthday babe. “ He helped you put on the necklace and the two of you shared a kiss. Jesse had gotten dressed up slipping on his leather jacket he was glad that he had gotten back from you since you tend to take his hoodies or jackets to wear because you loved his smell and loved how warm it made you. So he thought about getting you a leather jacket soon, maybe that would make a great Christmas gift. Jesse grabbed your hand and the two of you walked outside. Jesse handed you a helmet as the two of you got on his motorcycle. And riding through the Lust ring. Jesse had taken you out to a garden cafe in the Pride ring. “ I’ll wear the flower crown. “ Jesse said with a small chuckle as you handed him the flower crown. Jesse made sure to get you anything you wanted on the menu; he wanted your special day to be special. Jesse then took you shopping at a small store where he bought you a couple of outfits especially a nice one because he planned on taking you out to Ozzie’s tonight. You had always wanted to go but the policy was always couples only but now that you and Jesse were now dating so now you could go there with him. The two of you dropped the bags off back home. Exhausted from a good meal and walking around the two of you took a nap while you lay on top of Jesse’s chest. He rubs your back while you were sleeping and he soon fell asleep but set an alarm so that you two wouldn’t miss your birthday dinner. After waking up from a peaceful nap with your boyfriend. Both of you got ready and wore similar matching outfits, Jesse decided to drive the car instead of using the motorcycle. You held onto Jesse’s arm as the two of you walked into Ozzie’s your eyes lit up seeing how beautiful the place was. “ Heh, I come here a lot to work and yet this place is still beautiful but not as beautiful as you. “ Jesse kissed your cheek and the two of you walked to your table and sat down.

You picked up the menu as Jesse orders you both a drink. “ I was thinking after this we could go on a walk. “ Jesse said and looked at you. “ I would like that Jess. “ You smiled and both of you would drink and watch the performers on the stage. The two of you enjoyed a meal while Jesse would take time to compliment you and tell you how much he adored you. After drinking and eating the two of you took a stroll in the park. You held onto Jesse’s arm and walked into the park with him. Jesse would stop to pick up any pretty flower he had seen to hand it to you. “ I hope your birthday was good (Y/N). “ Jesse rubs the back of his neck. You gave his hand a little squeeze and smiled. “ Of course I enjoyed it not because of the gifts and dinner. But because I was with the guy that I love. “ You said. This made Jesse’s heart flutter and he stopped walking. He pulled you close and kissed you underneath the stars. You kissed back wrapping your arms around his neck. The two of you share a passionate and loving kiss. You and Jesse went back home, took a nice shower together, and then lay in bed together. The two of you snuggling in bed and watching a movie. “ Happy birthday (Y/N) “ Jesse said as he saw you were asleep and kissed your head.

Asmodeus: You woke up to slam of the bedroom door. You jumped as loud music played and the people who worked for your husband Asmodeus had come into the bedroom with different sizes of gifts. Asmodeus stepped into the room and walked towards you. “ Happy birthday my little sweet rose. “ Asmodeus kissed you then snapped his fingers as the music stopped playing. “ Today is all about you and I made sure to spoil you a lot. “ Asmodeus nuzzled you and you smiled. Your boyfriend Asmodeus could be quite extra but you loved him. You were excited to see what he had planned. “ Now go ahead and open your gifts. You don’t have to open them all since there is a lot because I saw so many things that reminded me of you, that you needed, or that you would like. “ He said laughing. You smiled and started to open presents as Asmodeus watched you gasp in excitement at the gifts he had gotten you, especially a rose quartz ring. “ That outfit right there is for your party tonight. I made sure to hire the best caters and told them to prepare their favorite foods and desserts. “ Asmodeus smiled but then frowned. “ I hope they make it taste good and make it look good or else… “ He said in a dark tone. You stood up and walked over kissing Asmodeus on the cheek. “ And don’t worry I made sure to invite all our friends. “ He held you close on his lap. “ Now let’s go eat breakfast. “ Asmodeus gave you a peck on the lips and you two walked out of the bedroom to go get some breakfast. You enjoyed the breakfast that was made while Asmodeus talked about how the party will be. After breakfast, you and Asmodeus took a stroll through his rose garden. “ Beautiful just like these roses. “ Asmodeus smiled and looked at you. The man had sacrificed a lot when he asked you out when he had asked you to marry him. But he told people and even apologized that love and lust can exist in one. The party was being set up so you and Asmodeus took a bath together, then helped each other get ready. “ We both are the hottest people in Hell. And we’ll be the hottest people at your party. “ Asmodeus gave you a loving squeeze and the two of you walked downstairs for the party.

You had fun chatting and drinking with your friends. You looked at the food with amazement as your mouth waters. Asmodeus watched you with a smile. He was glad that you were happy with the party. After opening gifts and listening to your friends sing happy birthday to you. You stepped outside while everyone else parties. Looking up at the stars, you smiled. You like parties but you would describe yourself as a battery you could only handle so much until you had to recharge. You felt a hand on your shoulder and looked up to see Asmodeus. “ Everyone is going home now. I know that you have always been a battery my little battery hehe. But I made sure the party would end early so we could relax. “ He said with a smile. You turn around and hug Asmodeus. The two of you put away the gifts you got and then took another relaxing bath together. You changed into your pajamas and you could hear the blow dryer. You sat on the bed and Asmodeus came out brushing his fur and looked at you. “ I hope today was special my little rose. “ He leaned down and kissed you. “ Happy birthday (Y/N), I love you. “ Asmodeus and you spent the rest of the night cuddling in the bed and relaxing.

Fizzarolli: You were sleeping peacefully in bed until you felt some weight on you and heard someone purring? You open your eyes to see your husband Fizzarolli looking at you. “ What are you dreaming about hotcakes? “ You rolled your eyes playfully and hit him with the pillow and he rolled off the bed then jumped up. “ Happy birthday! “ Fizzarolli yelled and kissed you all over your face as you laughed. “ You may be getting older but you are still as beautiful as the day I met you. “ Fizzarolli sat down on the bed. “ I tried to cook but I brunt our favorite pan. “ He said in a low whisper. “ But let me treat you to breakfast! “ He held onto you and you looked at him. “ Fine but next time you want to cook maybe watch a video or pick up a cookbook. “ You said and kissed his head. “ Then I guess buying a cake would be smarter? “ He said looking at you. You nodded your head and smiled. You knew Fizz couldn’t cook so you both usually went out to eat or you would cook. And Fizzarolli loved your cooking, but since it was your special day he wasn’t going to let you cook. “ Let me go get your gift. “ Fizzarolli stood up and opened the closet and stepped inside. You sat there on the bed stretching as you were in your underwear and wearing one of Fizzarolli’s t-shirts. “ Here this for you. “ Fizzarolli set a neatly wrapped green gift on your lap. You open it and smiled seeing that Fizzarolli made a scrapbook. You open the book to see the pictures of all the memories that you shared with him. You smiled and kissed Fizarolli, he kissed you back and grinned. “ Now get up and let’s get dressed so we can celebrate your birthday. “ Fizzarolli pulled you out of the bed and you went to go take your shower and slipped into a nice outfit. Fizzarolli got ready himself while you threw out the burnt pan. “ How did he put a hole in it? “ You said in shock and toss the pan into the trash. Fizzarolli walked out all dressed up. The two of you held hands and left the house. “ We should go to the diner where we first met. “ Fizzarolli suggested. “ If you want to though because it’s your day babe. “ Fizzarolli said smiling. You smiled and took Fizzarolli’s hand, walking towards the diner. The two of you entered the diner and waved at the old lady cat demon who served you and Fizzarlli on your first date here. It’s also where you used to work and how you met Fizz.

You sat down with Fizz as the old lady cat demon walked up. “ Happy birthday kid want the birthday special? “ She asked smiling. You smiled back and nodded your head as Fizzarolli just wanted some blueberry cakes and chocolate shake. “ Got it. “ The old lady walked as Fizzarolli smiled and rested his hand on top of yours. “ You look so beautiful today. How did I get so lucky to have the most beautiful and heartfelt demon in Hell. “ Fizzarolli kissed your hand and smiled. The two of you enjoyed the breakfast and took pictures. After leaving the diner. Fizzarolli took you shopping and to different spots in the Pride ring. “ Ooh matching necklaces. “ Fizzarolli stared at the necklaces that you had picked up. “ Yeah, it’s cute. “ You smiled and Fizzarolli grinned. He bought you the necklace. You helped each other put on the necklace as you both didn’t hear a familiar voice yell prude. Fizzarolli held your hand and the two of you continued to walk while enjoying the day. “ This is pretty good. “ You and Fizzarolli sat at the park underneath a tree and were eating pizza while watching the sunset. “ Yeah because you would have burnt the pizza. “ You said with a small laugh. Fizzarolli rolled his eyes. “ I’ll get better at cooking one day. Let’s go buy your cake and head home. “ He said smiling. But you had a different idea. You dragged Fizzarolli to the store and the two of you bought some stuff to bake a cake. Fizzarolli thought it was sweet that you wanted to bake your birthday cake with him more importantly you wanted to teach him how to bake. So when back at home the two of you baked the cake and Fizzarlli paid close attention. Once the cake was done, cooled down, and frosted. Fizzarolli added on the candles and sang happy birthday to you. You smiled and blew out the candles and Fizzarolli looked at you with a sweet smile. “ Happy Birthday (Y/N). “ He said smiling and getting ready to cut the cake with you.

Verosika: You woke to the smell of something sweet and something s bit heavy being rested on your lap. You open your eyes and sat up. “ Happy birthday cutie. “ You heard a sweet alluring voice. You smiled and looked at your girlfriend Verosika who was holding a plate of strawberry shortcake pancakes. You looked over to see the large pink gift on your lap. “ Thank you, baby. “ You said. . And you kissed Verosika, you reached over and opened the gift to see that she had gotten you a jewelry set and some outfits. “ You’re going to have a special day cutie so eat up, clean up, and get dressed. “ She kissed you and then walked off she was already dressed. You sat there happily eating the food and watching some TV. After finishing breakfast; you got out of bed and took a shower. You tried on the outfit that Verosika got you along with some of the jewelry. You walked outside as Verosika was waiting in the car for you with Vortex. “ Look at you!!! I could just eat you up though I might do that later tonight~ “ Verosika said and winked. You blushed and got into the car with Verosika as she had Vortex take you two out to the shopping center where Verosika spoiled you and watched you try on outfits. She took many photos of the two of you having fun. She took you to different dessert shops. She then treated you to the spa where the two of you relaxed and talked. “ Anything else you want for your birthday cutie pie? “ Verosika asked while she lay there getting her back massaged. “ No, I think I’m good but thank you for this wonderful day baby. “ You smiled and felt relaxed as your back was also getting massaged. After finishing up the two of you went to the flower shop and Verosika bought you some red, pink, and black roses. She kissed your cheek and took a picture. The two of you drove back home and stepped inside. You and Verosika baked your birthday cake and had fun throwing flour at each other and eating frosting from the spoon.

You placed the cake in the oven. And walked into the living room with Verosika, you both ordered some pizza and sat on the couch cuddling while watching a movie. “ I swear romance movies try too hard nowadays. It’s like cmon stop trying to act all cool and relatable. “ Verosika said and sighed. “ At least the movie I starred in blew up we sold millions. “ She smirked and cuddled you close. You chuckled softly you found it cute how passionate Verosika was with what she loved makes you wonder why that bastard Blitzo decided to hurt/leave her. Hearing the ding from the oven, you and Verosika smiled at each other and jumped off the couch, running to the kitchen. She took the cake out of the oven and the two of you let it cool before frosting and decorating it. Verosika did a little doodle of her kissing your cheek and you added on the candles. She sang happy birthday to you and then got a video of you blowing out your candles. She giggled and smiled. “ Happy birthday (Y/N). “ She said. The two of you watch a movie while eating cake and cuddling. And of course, Verosika’s phone was blowing up with people telling you happy birthday as well.

We still got all the characters in during that time though. Thank you to @writercole and @leigh70 for your help with this. You two are amazing!!

Summary-Y/N Padalecki loved acting on Supernatural.  Working alongside your older brother and your boyfriend, but after ten seasons the guys have chosen to hang up the guns.  Now the three of you are moving on to other projects, but that’s all that needs to change right?  While you have moved to Austin to be closer to your family and boyfriend, Jensen is working elsewhere.  Distance is only the start of your troubles.

Series Masterlist

Once you arrive back in Austin after the 4th of July family trip, you have some cleanup to do.  There are now two trips worth of dirty clothes in your room, the car is a mess, and you should see what else you managed to collect in your suitcase.   You spend the rest of Tuesday evening working on those things.

Wednesday morning, Gen and Jared leave for L.A.  They have meetings out there with the studio for Walker today and tomorrow.  A few last minute things have to be hammered out before filming begins two weeks from today. 

When it’s time to get lunch for Tom, you go through the cupboards, but don’t find much that interests the two of you.

“Buddy, I think we might need a grocery store trip,” you tell him with a frown.

“Do we have to?” he whines.

“Unless you want to eat radishes for lunch.”

He shakes his head with such disgust you can’t help but laugh.  After grabbing your purse, the two of you are off to the store.  As you are pushing a cart down the first aisle, you pass the bakery section.  

“That cake looks good, doesn’t?” you ask your nephew who is riding in the front of the cart.

He just nods his head.  You pick it up and set it in the cart, along with some fruit that Gen isn’t growing in the garden, and a gallon of milk for Tom.  Going down the snack aisle, Tom sees the boxes of goldfish crackers.

“Those are Unca Jensen’s favorites.”

You look at where he’s pointing, and a sad smile appears on your face.  “You're right buddy, they are.”

“We should get some for when he comes over.”

“I don’t know if he’ll be over anytime soon though.”

“How come?  I miss him.”

“I get that buddy, I really do.”

“Why don’t we see him anymore?  I used to get to see you and him when you were workin’ like daddy.”

“He’s really busy right now.”

“Can we try and call him later?”

Looking at Tom giving you the dang puppy dog look he inherited from Jared, you find it very hard to say no.  But, you know you aren’t going to be able to dial that number.  

“I’m sorry buddy, but he can’t talk right now.  Maybe he’ll be able to when your dad gets back.”

He looks like he might tear up, so you let him get the box of goldfish to give to Jensen the next time he sees him.  Walking further down the aisle, you see a bag of cheddar popcorn, you throw that in the cart, then some pretzels.  Passing by the freezers, a new tub of ice cream joins the party.  Standing in the checkout, a few candy bars. 

Loading the car, you realize you really didn’t get much in the way of actual food for Tom’s lunch.  You stop and grab fried chicken and some mashed potatoes on the way home.  There’s plenty to have leftovers for dinner too.

The next day, the two of you take a trip to the park.   The pizza and ice cream you picked up on the way home was totally Tom’s idea, after you may have mentioned it to him.  Back at the house, there is pizza, breadsticks, cheese fries, popcorn, pretzels, cake, Oreos, and some fresh baked cookies spread out on the table in front of the couch. Tom picks out Hercules and the two of you settle in to watch and pig out.

About halfway through the movie, you look over at your nephew still munching on popcorn.  “Hey Tom, do me a favor and don’t tell your parents we ate all this. Okay?”

“Okay, Aunt Y/N.”

“Thanks.”

The movie is over and you are working on cleaning up all the food when the front door opens.  You quickly get Tom behind you as you are slowly moving forward to get a peek at the entrance when your brother comes into sight.

“Hey gang!” He greets you both.

“Daddy!”

“Jare, I didn’t think you were coming back until later tonight.”

“The meetings went quicker than anticipated, and we found an earlier flight.”

“Great,” you tell him, slowly looking back over your shoulder.

Gen comes walking up behind you, having entered from the back and gone through the kitchen.  “Did we have a party guys?  There’s a lot of food here.”

“Guess what we had to eat?” Tom excitedly tells her everything he had the last two days.

“Really Tom? Thanks a lot buddy.”

“I only got one ice cream from the place, but Aunt Y/N, got two.”

“One was a drink.”

“It was ice cream.” Your nephew counters. 

“I’m going to finish cleaning up.”  You move back to the kitchen before anyone else can say a word.

Mess cleaned up, you are up in the bedroom laying on your bed with the bag of popcorn and the cookies when Gen knocks on the door.

“Hey,” you greet her.

“Hey, yourself.  Can I join you?”

“Sure, it is your house after all.”  You move to sit back against the headboard as she walks in.

She sits down beside you and grabs a cookie.  “I don’t know if I should be worried that you are taking your nephew through this breakup binge with you, or mad that you didn’t ask the pregnant lady to join?”

“It’s not a binge, it’s nothing.  Just some snacks.”

“It’s not you.  The crazy baking and cooking.  I saw all the food you cleaned up in the kitchen today.  When Jay first left to shoot the movie and you started staying here, you did something like this for a few days.  But it wasn’t to this extreme.”

“Gen, it’s…”

“Don’t tell me nothing.  This breakup is hitting you harder than you want to admit.  Honestly, I’m not sure you even realize it.”

She waits for you to say something, but you remain quiet.

“You haven’t gotten the rest of your stuff out of his place yet.  I think a part of you is still trying to hold on.  I know you were together a few years, but I don’t want to see this drag you down.”

“I didn’t want to tell mom we broke up, because that made it seem really real.  So will cleaning my stuff out of his house.   I still wake up some mornings and hope it was all just a nightmare, and I’ll call him up and he’ll tell me I was crazy for even dreaming that.”

“You tried to work it out, but decided ending things was the best option for you.  The more you fight moving on, the more it’s going to hurt you.” 

“I don’t know why it’s hitting so hard.  It's not like I saw him much the last few months anyways.”

“Yeah, but now you know you won’t be together when he comes back.  It’s hard, but sweetie you need to move forward.”

You sit there a minute, “yeah I guess I do.”

Gen sits with you watching How to Lose a Guy and eating the snacks, until Tom calls her away. You know she’s right, but it’s hard to close this chapter of your life.  

After dinner the next night, you ask Jared if he has a minute to talk.

“For you little sis, I might have two.”

“You’re hilarious, Jare.”

He takes a mock bow before sitting on the couch across from you.

“I need to get the last of my stuff from Jensen’s place, but I really don’t want to go alone.  Do you think you could come over with me tomorrow?”

“Yeah, of course.”

“Thanks.”

“And um, Tom was asking about calling him some time.  I don’t think I can do that.”

“Understood.  I can take care of that sometime.”

The next morning the two of you take your SUV and Jared’s truck over to Jensen’s.  You have an empty suitcase and duffle bag with you, plus you think you have another bag at his place.  Walking in the door, you pause and take a look around.  Chances are this will be the last time you are here.  It didn’t really feel like your place, but maybe you just never gave it a chance to.

“Want me to break some of his stuff while we’re here?” your brother asks, standing behind you.

“No, Jare.  Behave.”

“Where do you want to start?”

“I don’t know.  Maybe upstairs with my clothes.”

He follows you up to the master bedroom.  As you get your clothes out he starts stuffing them into the suitcase.  When he fills one, he takes it outside and loads it up.  The bathroom things you have left here are next.  Then there are your boxes sitting in the guest room.  Since you never unpacked them, you don’t have to worry about repacking.  Walking around the house you pick up a few things here and there that are yours.  You water the houseplants as you move around.  When you are fairly certain you have everything, you come meet Jared back in the living room.

Looking around the room, the case of the last DVD you watched together is still laying in front of the tv.  You go over and pick it up, turning to Jared. 

“I never thought him leaving for work would turn out like this.”

“I know.  I’m sorry.”

“Not your fault.”  

He doesn’t say anything, just comes over and gives you a hug.  

“I’ll meet you outside okay?”

“Yep,” he responds, taking the last bag out with him.

Standing at the kitchen counter you remove Jensen’s house key from your keyring and set it with the garage remote on the counter.  Looking around the house one more time, you whisper “bye Jens.”

Setting the alarm, you lock the bottom lock on the inside of the door, and use the keypad to lock the deadbolt outside.   Jared pulls out of the drive first and with one more look behind you, you turn and follow him back to the house.  

He helps you unload your things back at the house, some of the boxes stay in the garage, some of the bags need to go upstairs.  That night you are thinking about what Gen said about moving on.  Getting your things out of Jensen’s place was the first step.  The next was going to be leaving your brother’s house.  When you started spending a night here and there with them, it wasn’t meant to turn into living with them.  You really should get out of their hair. 

Monday morning you call a realtor and schedule a meeting for later that afternoon.  When you go in you explain what you are looking for, and some of the areas around town you would be okay with moving to.  Amy, who you will be working with, tells you she will put a list together and get back with you soon. 

Gen asks that evening what kept you busy all day, you tell her you had some errands to run.  You don’t want to mention moving out yet, slightly worried they would talk you out of it easily.  Jensen and Jared might not be on the best of terms because of you right now, but there was no doubt in your mind they would get past it.  Once again the two of them would be hanging out, you didn’t want to be here for that.  You couldn’t be. 

You were outside with Gen late Wednesday morning, when your phone went off.  Amy was calling to let you know she had some places to show you.  She told you to let her know when you were ready to look at them.  

“Are you free this afternoon?” you ask.

“Let me check,” you catch her a little off guard at wanting to go out and look so quickly.

“I’ll be free after 2:30. I can meet you at the first place then?”

“That will work.”

She gives you the address before hanging up. The first place is the closest to Jared and Gen’s, Nalle Woods of Westlake apartments.  They only have 2 bedroom units available right now, that doesn't matter too much to you though. The place just wasn’t you.  Stopped at a red light on your way to the next location, you take a look around.  The restaurant you and Jensen had your first Austin date at is just up ahead.  

The second stop is a condo on Lennox Drive, but it requires a 12 month lease minimum.  You aren’t sure if you want to commit to a place for that long right now.   Leaving there you drive by Lady Bird Lake.  You and Jensen had enjoyed going there and walking the trails. 

The Ridgeview apartments you looked at next were nice, but they didn’t come furnished.  Since you had sold your furniture before moving you would need to start all over again there. 

Signs for the Austin Zoo catch your eye on the drive to the next place.  It brings back memories of the time you and Jensen took your nephews and niece there for a day. 

Turning on the radio to distract yourself you leave the station on Prime Country when you hear Garth singing.  The next single bedroom apartment is newly listed, you have hope it will work out. The drive takes you past Peter Pan Mini Golf, where you have had a few date nights.  This apartment you stop at is another unfurnished one, and the more you have seen today tells you that isn’t what you want right now.

The last place you check out is an apartment building on Congress Ave.  You can lease these apartments for as short as a month.  That seems more like you are looking for right now.  They come fully furnished, even having housewares and linens.  There is a pool, gym and laundry room for tenants to use.   The downside is they are a little cramped, but if it’s just you what’s the problem?

You thank Amy for her time and let her know you need to think some things over but would get back to her soon.  Leaving the last apartment, you drive over the Congress Avenue bridge.  Jensen had brought you out here one night to see the bats, and you had been freaked out at first as they all flew out.  

So much of this town just screams Jensen to you, it is going to make your fresh start a little hard.  Apparently, the radio agrees with you, LeeAnn Womack comes on singing, “Little Past Little Rock.”

“I had to leave my life in Dallas

That town will always be you

In every crowd, on every corner,

Every face I'd see you

So with nothing more than a tank of gas

I drove away without looking back…”

“I know exactly how you feel LeeAnn.  He’s everywhere here.  I’ll even have to drive by his house every time I go to Jared and Gen’s.”

“Don't know where I'll go

Or what I'll do

I'm a little past Little Rock,

But a long way from over you

These headlights on the highway

Disappear into the dark

And if I could have it my way

I'd go back to where you are…”

“I’d just like to go back in time, maybe I could have changed my schedule and gone with him.  Maybe then things would have worked out differently.”

“Too late to change my mind

I've got to keep my heart out of this

And both hands on the wheel

I'm learning more with every mile

Just how leaving feels

It's a lonely stretch of blacktop

Out into the blue

Don't know where I'll go

Or what I'll do

I'm a little past Little Rock,

But a long way from over you…”

“Austin just might be my Dallas.  He’s the main reason I came here.  Maybe I should be leaving here and heading back to L.A.  It wouldn’t be the first time I lived away from my family.  It would be a clean start.”

As you pull back in the driveway at your brother’s place, you are thinking more and more that getting out of town is going to be the way to go.  You can’t right away because of Walker, but maybe you could see about them reducing your role in the future.  Today has given you a few things to think about.

Thank you for reading!

[gyeomsweetgyeom]

[10:31 am]

Your day had been off to a rocky start. Having husband!Kun home was throwing you off your usual routine. While he was busy being the best husband ever by making you breakfast, lunch, and coffee, even having dinner ready by the time you got ready for work, you were taking your time getting ready and sleeping in.

This morning you had just been so lost in the comfort of having him home with you and relaxing that you lost track of time, rushing out the door with one shoe untied and grabbing your bag as Kun held the door open for you. He had barely kissed you goodbye as you rushed down the hall.

Now, you were seated at your desk with your eyes burning, failing to keep your yawns from escaping since you had only had half a cup of coffee before you ran out the door. There was no way you’d make yourself coffee from the break room since whoever usually made it clearly had no taste buds or liked coffee with the grounds- disgusting. 

You heard someone clear their throat behind you, probably someone further away in the office. Your eyes were still on the computer screen in front of you, clicking around and highlighting random words. God, how was your brain even still working right now?

“This is the last time I bring you your lunch if you’re just going to ignore me and pretend to work,” a familiar voice said.

You jumped, turning in your desk chair to catch sight of your husband. He stood leaning against the entryway of your cubicle, with a travel mug and your lunch bag. He caught your line of sight, “You forgot your lunch and I noticed you didn’t finish your coffee while I was washing the dishes.”

“I am so in love with you! Ugh! I love you so much!” You exclaimed grabbing the cup of coffee. It was just the way you liked it.

Kun chuckled as he sat in the extra chair next to your desk, “I can’t tell if you’re talking to me or the coffee, but I love you too.”

“Qian, do you have the reports that are due today?” One of your coworkers asked, eyes stuck on the file in her hands. 

Your eyes were wide, you had been working on the reports last night, going in and making corrections. You had even printed them out at home right before you showered, but where had you left the stack of papers? 

“It’s in the green folder in your bag, love.” Kun whispered.

You let out a relieved breath, reaching into your bag to retrieve the papers. You passed them over, slumping back into your chair after she walked away with a quiet “thanks” under her breath.

“You are the best husband ever, you saved my life just now.”

“I know, so hot pot tonight? I might have to stop by the store for some vegetables on the way home,” Kun wondered out loud.

You waltzed over to where he sat, taking a seat on his lap, “I’m so happy I married you.”

He placed a kiss on your lips, short but passionate, slightly inappropriate for the work place but quick enough that no one saw. “How about I drop you off tomorrow, so I can make sure you don’t forget anything.”

You hummed in agreement absentmindedly playing with the hair at the nape of his neck, “Can you wear the pink apron with the frills while you make dinner tonight?”

He threw his head back as he laughed, “I think that was a gag gift, my love.”

“But you just look so sexy when you wear it,” you shrugged.

When Kun had schedules, you were up earlier than you needed to be to make sure his bags were packed and had plenty of water and food for the long day that awaited him, always with a cute love note stuck to his backpack. You were always so helpful when his days had him dragging his feet, wearing a frilly, pink apron while he cooked was the least he could do. Even if it made him feel like a fool, he’d do anything for you.

Morty cleaning plate from every restaurant?

Hell Yes Get Him

[post-stuffing stuffing]

"Y'know, you don't have to finish the whole thing if you're full," said Angela.

"What am I gonna do with the leftovers?"

"I don't know. You could just leave 'em."

"With what we're paying for it? No way!"

"Well, you're gonna give yourself a bellyache if you keep eating like this!"

"I'll be fine," said Morty with a dismissive wave of his hand. Angela gave him a skeptical look, then went on eating her lunch.

By the time they left the restaurant, Morty, who Angela often joked was about the size of a Polly Pocket, was absolutely stuffed. With the enormous size of the sandwich, he'd have been stuffed even if he hadn't insisted on cleaning his plate. Fortunately, his oversized sweater did a good enough job of concealing his bloated tummy; he just hoped he'd be ready when dinnertime rolled around. The two friends were on a weekend vacation together, and, with no space in their cheap hotel room to store leftovers, Morty had been determined at each meal not to let his food go to waste.

Right now, he had a big breakfast and lunch weighing his guts down, and he'd still felt bloated from the previous night's dinner when he'd woken up that morning. While the sweater managed to hide his tummy--for now--it felt unbelievably taut, and the snug waist of his pants had been digging into it all day. Sighing softly, he rested a hand on his belly as they walked, and Angela gave him a concerned look.

"You alright?" He nodded.

"Full."

"Well, I'd sure hope so. That sandwich was bigger than you are."

Full was an understatement. Morty felt like his tummy was about to pop. By the time they were getting ready for dinner, full had become a more accurate descriptor, but he wasn't going to let that stop him. The two were planning on going to a nice Italian restaurant that evening--they'd skimped on the hotel room just to fit it into their budget--and he had every intention of enjoying it.

Angela, who was considerably bigger than her scrawny little friend, hadn't been quite as heavily impacted by lunch as Morty had been and was plenty hungry when they sat down. She ordered them an antipasto platter as an appetizer, and it didn't take much picking at it before Morty was stuffed full once again. He still had soup and an entrée on the way, though, and he tried to ignore his tightly-stretched stomach as the waitress set down a hot bowl of clam chowder before him. It tasted as good as it looked, and his appetite had yet to falter, but it was becoming harder to find space in his belly.

"You gonna have room for your dinner? You look like you can barely handle the soup," remarked Angela. He nodded. He took another bite, then, reluctantly, he set the spoon down. He was already beyond full; he knew he wouldn't be able to enjoy his chicken marsala at all if he finished the chowder.

"You want some? I'm really full," he admitted, nudging the bowl towards her.

"Maybe a little." She dipped her spoon into his bowl, and he leaned back in his seat with a sigh, resting his hands on his belly. It was noticeable even under the sweater now, poking out against the soft fabric, and Angela raised her eyebrows at the sight of it.

"Sheesh, you really are full," she said.

"Not gonna stop me," he replied with a sly smile, and she laughed.

"You better not make yourself sick," she warned, still grinning. "You still gotta do half the driving tomorrow."

"I'll be fine," he assured her.

When the waitress returned with their dinners, Angela happily dug in, but Morty found himself moving slowly. The chicken looked and smelled fantastic, and upon taking a bite, he was pleased to find that the flavor held up to the appearance, but his stomach was packed to the brim. Still, knowing he wouldn't be able to save any leftovers, he was determined to enjoy as much as he could. Slowly, he forced himself to keep eating. The pressure in his belly was immense. His stomach felt stretched to its absolute limit, and it pushed out hard against the waist of his pants, threatening to pop the button open if he made the wrong move.

Finally, with a soft groan, he gave up, falling back against the seat with his hands on his tummy. He was too full even to suck it in, not that he cared enough to try, and it bulged conspicuously from his skinny frame. Angela did her best to stifle a giggle, and he tried and failed to look annoyed at her, unable to hold back a smile at the ridiculous situation.

"I'll admit, I'm impressed you got that far," she said, and she meant it; she hadn't expected him to put away more than a few bites. Against all odds, he'd managed to eat half of his dinner, but it was taking its toll. His stomach felt like it might burst if he so much as inhaled too deeply.

"I don't think I'm gonna be able to eat for a week," he sighed, rubbing his aching tummy.

[kickthecan-revolution]

Got here around 11:30pm last night to no internet. The electric wiring on one side of the downstairs duplex isn’t working, so no internet, tv or fireplace and the refrigerator is turned off because of a leak that’s raised the floor a bit. Theres so much deferred maintenance here, it’s such a huge project that it makes me tired to think about.

I needed to get dessert for the dinner tonight so woke up at 5am with a headache and decided to just go to the store. They were out of almost everything but I snagged some stuff, and then had to go to another store to get wrapping paper and tape because what I sent here via instacart yesterday arrived to the upstairs unit, and I didn’t want to disturb that tenant who’d not just brought it downstairs like I’d asked, even though there was picture confirmation he had it. Then my brother texted, asking me to bring more stuff.

For a second I flashed on all of the chaotic Christmases across the decade - going to gas stations and convenience stores Christmas Day because i worried my mom didn’t have enough food, trying to find things for people to snack on before dinner. Looking back, I don’t know if my concerns were valid, I think they just reflected some deep unspoken beliefs I held that my mom was not equipped to be able to pull off a dinner for a large amount of people in a way that wouldn’t make her completely stressed and shamed, and then have a meltdown that destroyed the day. I flashed to the chaos of staying in hotels and Airbnbs, and even here in between tenants on outdoor cushions and a sleeping bag in a freezing temperatures because the fireplace wouldn’t come on again. The constant rush of getting everything ready for Christmas Eve to go to my brother’s house, and then quickly flying out Christmas Day to get home fast to the rest of a vacation in front of the TV doing nothing by myself, but at least that wasn’t drama. The moments where two hours before we all went to my parents house on Christmas Day, my dad would call to cancel it because my mom wasn’t up for it anymore. All the wasted money and flights. I can’t remember a recent Christmas where there wasn’t some kind of drama or chaos or sadness or shame or anxiety. When you don’t feel like you really have a home, there’s something about Christmas that makes you feel so much more temporary.

But I can do this differently now. I can tackle these house issues up here in the spring. My sister will help me. I don’t have to rush around so much even though I don’t have a working refrigerator, there will be plenty for me to eat tomorrow, I don’t have to worry about that which I was panicking a little about in the grocery store trying to plan for it. I can rest a little bit today, wait for my headache to go away, and go take a walk and find some beach glass when the tide goes out. I can have fun with my friend Simone who I’m going to have lunch with later on today - I don’t have to worry about the place we agreed to meet at might be closed, we’ll find something else. I don’t have to go see my parents (where their ashes are) today – I can see them tomorrow on my way up to Bellingham. I don’t need to rush home tomorrow to catch a flight, I just changed my flight - thankfully this time at no cost - to leave late December 26 so I don’t have to get up early. I don’t have to rush and I can have a little time here in Seattle to just chill out.

I can do all of this now. I don’t have to be afraid. When my brain seizes up with fear, I can wait for it to slowly uncurl itself. I’m different than what I was back then. I can prioritize myself in my experience differently. I’ve done the work, I’ve been given the Blessing from the Source. Now I just need to live it. I’m so glad I’m leaving my company next year, life really does need to start being lived differently.

[ssahotchnerr]

how would greg and aaron react when they have an s/o who loves cooking and making meals for them? like when they boys come home and say they already ate somewhere else with their co workers they get so :( because theyre like but :( i cooked for you :( wanted to sit on your lap :( and feed you food :(

cw: mentions of food

i feel like aaron & greg would have similar reactions;

when they admit they already ate they would feel awful :(( especially when your expression falls :(((

like here you were, all excited because you found a new recipe you were so eager for them to try and you were literally counting down the minutes for their arrival home to surprise them. so when you learn they've already eaten, you're disappointed, but it's not that big of a deal. it's no one's fault, just a bit of miscommunication, it happens !!! they'll definitely apologize of course :((( "baby, i had no idea" and they're pulling you into their arms and refusing to let go because they feel so. bad. :((( at least on the bright side, you get plenty of apology cuddles and kisses :)))

and because they're themselves 🥺🫶🏻 they'll sit with you at the table while you eat. the two of you fall into easy conversation; about your days, whatever, all while aaron/greg are stealing bites from your plate >:) <3 however, that makes them feel a bit worse they can't enjoy it completely. :( their own expression falls at the thought and you notice, prompting you to grab onto their hand, rubbing your thumb along their palm gently insisting it's okay, you can always make this recipe another day. you also give a reassuring smooch if they don't wipe that solemn look off their face 🥺 <3 and, you remind them that there's always leftovers :D which is absolutely their lunch tomorrow <33333 also, aaron/greg insists on being on dish duty that night since you went through the trouble

after this whole ordeal, coordinating meals becomes a frequent occurrence hehe <3 you provide awareness if you find a recipe and when you plan to make it, while aaron and greg let you know if they've made dinner plans.

pleaseeee just sitting on their lap and feeding them <3 candlelit dinners 🥰 ughhshs kisses in between bites 😣 all while they're profusely complimenting you on how amazing your cooking is <33333 🫶🏻

Current Tag Game

I've been tagged by quite a few people now (thank you @twig-tea @colourme-feral @slayerkitty and @telomeke!) and in the past I've been too busy to complete these kinds of things but even though I'm still busy now, I figured I ought to do it this time...and if I don't do it now it won't get done. So, I'ma do it in 15 mins. Let's go!

Current time: 09:49

Current activity: I've just returned to my hotel room after having had breakfast. Hash Browns and Baked Beans ftw!! (<- How to tell someone you're British without telling them you're British 😂).

Currently thinking about: All the things that need to be done today - I'm away for work and I need to prep some stuff before leaving the hotel to go pick up some food for lunch because I won't have time to pop out later, and then I have to go to the location for today's work event and I basically won't stop until after it finishes tonight at 21:30 ish. (And somehow squeeze in Dangerous Romance somewhere there...maybe during my dinner break...or maybe I'll have to wait until afterwards when I'm back in the hotel again...but the internet is patchy at best - so if you don't hear me posting about it, it's because I won't be watching it until tomorrow evening 😭)

(Come on Lin, you gotta write faster!)

Current favourite song: This is so hard to pick just one! Okay, Until Then by Tilly Birds. I've known of the band since the Bad Buddy days but never really listened to their albums until Only Friends started airing and I discovered I'm Not Boring, You're Just Bored which made me go to their albums and now I'm a fan of more of their work.

Currently reading: I've said it before but I basically live in the Bad Buddy fandom on ao3. All other books are collecting dust on my bedside table, unread and unloved this whole year 😥

Currently watching: Not much actually since a lot finished airing recently. So, Dangerous Romance, Kiseki Dear to Me and You Are Mine. I've been waiting on english subs for the final episode of Love in Translation but it's been so long I might not bother anymore. And I paused I Feel You Linger in the Air before ep 9 and I'm waiting until the last ep has aired before I go back to it. I need to know if it's going to have a happy ending before I continue because it was SO beautiful but also SO heartbreaking and I was just scared all the time for the characters (someone tell me if it ends happily for all our couples!).

Special sub-heading:

Currently NOT watching and Sad About It So I've Had To Block The Tags: Shadow the series, My Gangster Oppa, and I Cannot Reach You (and maybe a few others I can't remember - I might not be able to watch Red Peafowl for the same reason) - all mainly because they're on platforms I don't subscribe to.

Current favourite character: I think Chen Yi and Ai Di (the Taiwanese Pat and Pran basically) - the one who realises his feelings late and goes ALL IN and the the other who has pined FOR YEARS and can't quite believe he finally gets to HAVE HIS DREAM. They own my whole heart.

Current WIP: My Thai Communal Wardrobe Advent Giveaway! Come request for a post about an item of clothing that has appeared in two or more shows to be dedicated to yourself or to someone else. I've only had about 10 requests so far - and I've already found about FIVE more, so the list I have currently stands at 50+!! There are plenty to go around 😁 Ask for more than one as well if you want.

Tagging a few who appeared in my recent notifications (and apologies if you've already been tagged, have already done it, or aren't interested!): @dimplesandfierceeyes @hsfavoriteworlds @belladonna-and-the-sweetpeas @quodekash and @aprilblossomgirl

Main Masterlist ♡ The Devil All the Time Masterlist ♡ Lee Bodecker Masterlist ♡ Need You Masterlist

Lee Bodecker's POV:

Every single time I left the house, I had two officers watching it. Wherever YN went, she had someone with her.

My officers took turns watching the house, even when I was home. I had to make life seem as normal as possible for Owen.

I didn't want him to be afraid as he has spent most of his life afraid, but he isn't a stupid child. He could see the police cars go by the house more and more.

He knew what men looked like when he has come by the Police Station plenty of times with YN, Ray and Don.

Owen even asked me about it when it was just us two, watching The Beverly Hillbillies.

"Lee?"

"Yes, Owen?" My eyes still tuned onto the TV.

"Your cop friends are still here. Is it because of me?" Now my attention was fully on him. "Come here," I patted my knee and he sat down on it.

"I am just being safe. I know your Mom had some friends who I don't know, and I don't want them to show up when I am not home or for them to play a trick while we are sleeping."

"What type of trick?"

"Well, coming in and moving items around or taking something as a joke on us. So don't mind my friends being here."

"We should take them some lemonade," Owen said.

"I'll let YN know your wonderful idea and we will get the ingredients to make some."

YN came into the living room and found Owen sitting next to me on the couch, the two of us laughing at the antics of the Clampett family.

◆

The next morning, I didn't have to go in early but I woke up to the delicious smell that is breakfast. My mouth watered at the smell of bacon as it cooked.

I made my way to the kitchen and saw that YN was just plating all the food. I wrapped my arms around her pregnant belly and pulled her back against my chest.

She gasped softly at the feeling of my half-hard cock poking into her lower back. "Good morning Mrs. Bodecker," I whispered in her ear as I nipped the lobe. "You are looking most beautiful my love."

"Well, Mr Bodecker, you are still tired if you think I look beautiful right now."

I unwrapped my arms from her and she didn't even look at me as she placed the food down on the table for the boys to eat. Don and Ray are going to just love throwing the scrambled eggs everywhere.

"Hey, hey, come here my love." I gripped her arm, but not tight. I pulled her close to me once more and placed my hand under her chin.

She had tears in her eyes as she looked up at me. "Tell me what is wrong Doll?"

"I just don't feel beautiful. This pregnancy is just draining me."

"You are as beautiful as the day I fell for you YN. Look, I'll have lunch and dinner delivered to you tonight and I will be home tomorrow."

"Lee, you shouldn't take off anymore work."

"I will be just fine. The townsfolk know you are pregnant and besides, this can help for the election as well, 'Sheriff Bodecker, family man,' I can see the headlines now."

"Thank you." I kissed her, trying to deepen the kiss but the sounds of little feet came running down the hall towards the table.

"Ewww."

"Eww, yourself Owen." YN teased as we took our spots at the table.

◆

I kept my word and had food delivered to the house. Each and every time, YN would call thanking me.

I could hear how tired she was as the day went on and I wished I could have a babysitter watch the kids for a couple of hours so she could get a break, but there was no way in hell that would be happening right now.

But I could tell it was a long day when I came home and the living room was a mess. Tomorrow, Owen and I will clean up as I can see that it is his toys laying all over the place.

"Lee?" I heard from our bedroom. I walked quickly down the hall and stood at the door.

"Just me Doll. Go back to sleep. I am just gonna eat and then come and join you."

YN nodded and put her head back down on her pillow. I went and grabbed the plate she had put aside for me and sat at the kitchen table, eating.

I was so involved with my food that I didn't hear anyone enter the room. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I instantly jumped and pulled my gun from my holster as I stood and pointed it at a very bewildered YN.

"Shit, Lee. Put that thing away before you hurt somebody."

"Shit Gorgeous, I am so sorry. You just startled me as all." I placed the gun back in its holster and sat back down.

"You need to relax baby," YN said as started to massage my shoulders. I moaned as I took a bite of my burger. Her hands always felt good on my body, but even more so right now, trying to massage the stress away.

"Your hands feel wonderful love."

"Is that so? Maybe I should become a massage therapist." She teased, but just the thought of her hands on another persons body had me almost growling.

"Would you like a happy ending Daddy?"

The chair scrapped across the floor and I left my food on the table as I practically dragged YN back to our room.

If she wasn't pregnant, I would have picked her up and thrown her on our bed, but I just pointed to the bed and had her sit down.

I stood in front of her and she undid my buckle and pulled my pants and boxers down just far enough that she could take my cock in her mouth.

I had to bite my lip to keep my moans at bay as she bobbed her head up and down. I placed my hands on the back of her head, just letting her go at her own speed.

But I cried out when she suddenly took me all the way down her throat and moaned, making me cry out her name as I tried to stop myself from coming down her throat.

I put her hair in a makeshift ponytail and pulled her mouth from my cock. I groaned when I looked at her face. YN was breathing heavily, a long strand of silva was connected from my cock to her lips.

"I need you, love." I told her and I saw her pout as she ran her one hand up and down my thigh.

But then she placed her hand on my ass and I was pulled forward as she took my cock down her throat once more.

I wasn't expecting it and I groaned out her name as I came. My body felt like it was fire as she swallowed it all.

This time I had to step away from her and her beautiful mouth as she just kept sucking, wanting me to get hard once more.

"Lord YN, give me a moment to catch my breath." I was leaning against the wall now that was opposite our bed.

"Don't take too long Daddy, or I may just have to finish without you." I cocked my eyebrow as I was confused but then I saw her arm move.

Dear lord, she was fingering herself as she sucked me off. I felt myself twitch as I saw her play with herself.

I wrapped my own hand around my half-hard cock, and started to jerk it, needing it to be hard again because I refuse to have my wife finish on her fingers when I am standing right here.

"Daddy," I shuddered at the way how she said my name. "Lean back baby." I told her as I removed my clothes fully this around.

She did as I asked and scooted back just a bit. I stood between her spread legs. I grabbed her legs and wrapped them around my waist.

I gripped my cock in my hand and rubbed it against her soaked pussy. I watched as her eyes fluttered and then she covered her mouth as I slammed into her.

My own mouth fell open once more at the feeling of her wrapped around me. I didn't waste any time though.

My pace was fast and brutal. The headboard was knocking against the wall and at that moment I wasn't scared about waking the kids or breaking said headboard.

Just taking my frustrations out on my wife, who was loving every single second of this. I can feel her pussy clenching tight around my cock.

By the end of the night, YN was fast asleep with my cum leaking out of her abused pussy. She was completely spent after coming and coming on my cock, and I too was asleep next to her, with a smile on my sleeping face.

YN'S POV:

Lee kept his word and stayed home the following day. I woke up to an empty bed but I found him and Owen cleaning up the living room that had all of Owen's toys on every single surface.

We even spent the day out as a family, doing the same chores that I would of usually done with out Lee.

Like grocery shopping, take Lee's uniform to the dry cleaners. Take the kids to the park, but this time we had an onduty police office with us at all times.

Lee told me when he was going into the shower that Owen asked him about the cops being outside the house. So now, Owen just waves when he sees one.

But as we were just about to leave the park, the police officer came up to Lee and was talking really fast.

I watched as he got in car and drove off. I started to panic and Lee could see it on my face and body language.

"It's okay. He got called away. Something about an accident at the Miller household."

"Is everything okay? Do you have to go in?"

"I told him to call me if he needs me but we will be fine going home, love. We aren't far from the house and Oliver was on his way over.

So we packed up the kids and Owen was talking a mile minute it seemed, but as we got closer to the house, I noticed the front door kicked in.

"Lee," YN's voice was soft as she too noticed the front door. "You're not going in there alone." YN tried to say, but I reached into the glove compartment and pulled out the gun I keep in there.

I was out of the car and already heading into our home. I felt sick when I saw the state of our home. Everything was ruined.

I didn't even have to go that far into the house to see the amount of damage they did. I heard footsteps behind me and a very recognisable voice calling out, "just me boss."

"Oliver, all hands on deck for this one," I called out from Owen's room. Looking at the massive note that was left on his wall, in what I am hoping is just red paint.

November 23, 2023

Arrived in Agadir airport at around 12pm and the taxi man was waiting for us. That was really convenient. I will be doing this the next time. Sucks that Three doesn't support data plans here in Morocco but the hotel will be covering us for the wi-fi anyways.

When we got to the hotel, I was shocked. I mean really, really shocked. We booked a 5-star all-inclusive hotel just for our comfort. I didn't expect the hotel to be so pretty. It was literally so fine. I'm glad we paid extra because we really got the value out of the money. I even wished that we booked the trip for longer because we just booked a 4-day 3-night stay. We had lunch at their mess hall and the food was bountiful. The dessert section was to die for! Literally, I'm really amazed with their hotel. This is the nicest hotel that I've ever visited.

We lounged by their pool in the afternoon and planned out what we were doing for our stay. We decided that we'll ride some camels tomorrow and have a mini-sahara tour the next day. I went to their cute little gym and did some chest exercises and some cardio. Afterwards, we both had a good back massage. It was so good that we scheduled one on Saturday evening. We watched the sun set and it was so magical. This has been the best experience of the day for me. London can't offer me this beauty.

Dinner was even better. They literally revamped the whole menu and offered a whole ton of new choices and despite plenty, the flavor of the meals had so much quality to them. I'll get fat here. Holiday gains don't count, they say. I'll cry when I get back but for now I'll enjoy.

AS PROMISED- Part 2: Rating TWST Boys 1-10 based on how my Mom’s much less toxic but equally chaotic side of The Family™️ would approve of them

I hope y’all are getting a kick out of these because this has been a really fun means of coping with familial trauma while ✨Absolutely Dunking™️✨ on my Dad and his side of the The Family™️. Enjoy! Maybe I’ll do the Obey Me Boys after TWST lmao

Heartslabyul

Riddle: 7/10- The Mother™️ would question how young he looks but really love how respectful and responsible he is. She would immediately start asking about his academic pursuits and trying to talk about books and philosophy and stuff. Absolutely would admire how structured and disciplined he keeps his life but would absolutely worry about how regimented and stiff it can seem at times. As far as The Maternal Family™️ goes, they’d be really confused by Riddle; respects and admires the work ethic and diligence, awed by his intelligence, but baffled and worried by his stiff formality. Idk if The Cousins™️ would really be able to let their hair down with him, but The Elder Auntie™️ and her husband would really like him as well as The Nan™️. The Mother™️ would feed this boy literally the best food and send him home with leftovers. Overall would fit in but I wouldn’t bring him to The Farm™️ where The Younger Auntie™️ and her family live. This boi would punt the rooster.

Trey: 100000000000000000000/10- He’s responsible? He cooks? He bakes? He’s a top-notch student?? WHERE’S THE RING, SLEEPY??? The Mother™️ would be practically begging this boi to move in within an hour of knowing him. She’d immediately start trading recipes and comparing notes about anything and everything food related(After the visit she would constantly be asking about him and his family and oooooh when can she meet them too??? SLEEPY PLZ I WANT ANSWERS I NEED TO PREP FOR THE WEDDINGBHRARHAUTSS). As far as The Maternal Family™️ goes, it’d be no different, they’d love him immediately. The Elder Auntie™️ would delight in asking him about his family and how he wound up being such a wonderful young man, The Younger Auntie™️ would absolutely ask him if he’d like to take home some fresh goat cheese and goat milk and eggs with him and then invite him to The Farm™️ for lunch tomorrow. The Cousins™️ would happily deal him into their card games, and The Nan™️ would probably try and drag him to church the next day and bless him into next week. Tbh he’d probably never escape, he’d have to just call his family and have them move in next door. That escalated REAL FUCKIN FAST.

Cater: 8/10- Sweet, sweet boi. After The Mother™️ and The Maternal Family™️ gets past how much he uses his phone and talks about social media, he’d fit right in. Since The Mother’s™️ food is literally the most beautiful and delicious food in all of existence, he’d have plenty to post and she would happily keep providing it. She would be so flattered and tickled pink by how eager this boi is to share her food; extra helpings for Mr. Diamond, absolutely. The Maternal Family™️ would ask him loads of questions about his family and love it even more if Cater takes them through his phone and shows them any pictures or videos of them and any of their fond memories and traditions they have. The Younger Auntie™️ would be wary of this boi’s phone but would happily invite him to The Farm™️ if he wanted to get some super cute and mega aesthetic pictures of the chickens, rooster, and goats. Especially the goats. The Elder Auntie™️ would respect Cater’s eye for aesthetics and ask him how he keeps up with trends so effortlessly. The Cousins™️ would get along so smoothly with Cater that they’d also probably also ask about his sisters and ask if they’d be interested in joining us for a Family Dinner™️ next time and a game(SEVERAL games) of cards.

Ace: 7/10- This boi only gets points docked because he sometimes forgets his manners and can be a little immature, but otherwise would also fit right into The Maternal Family™️ with some squeezing. He’s not as much of an intellectual as them but as such a happy and carefree and loyal individual, ultimately they’d all probably come to accept him with open arms and fond faces. The Nan™️ would probably bore Ace to tears but would only mean well in getting to know him. The Cousins™️ would probably have a blast with Ace in playing cards or getting up to some outdoor shenanigans. Idk what to tell you, he’d fit in pretty well.

Deuce: 10/10- He’s a Mama’s Boy, and The Mother™️ would immediately pick up on that and absolutely smother him with affection. If he offered to help set the table or clean the dishes or cook to be respectful, she’d be sent almost all the way to heaven. Extra helpings FOR SURE. His past wouldn’t bother The Maternal Family™️ because they’d see and have so much respect for how much effort he puts into being an upstanding young man. I’m sure both of The Aunties™️ would love to hear about his Mom and how they spend their time together, and The Uncles™️ would ask after what he wants to do with his ever-brightening future. The Cousins™️ would be fast friends with him for sure and immediately would consider him part of the family. The Nan™️ would very much approve as well and pat his cheek a lot. This boi would also absolutely be sent home with leftovers and an invite back with his Mother. The Maternal Family™️ would also absolutely start asking how serious the relationship is and not so subtly hint at making it down-the-aisle-official.

Savanaclaw

Leona: 9/10- This man canonically respects women because he’s from a Matriarchal Society, and thusly The Mother™️ would be fascinated by him and start asking so many questions with genuine and enthusiastic interest about the Sunset Savannah and its culture. If she had a heads up about him being a Lion Beastman, she’d be sure to prep the best meat available to her for his visit to make dinner as delectable as possible for a carnivore while still being a balanced meal. Leona would probably keep it as respectful as he would chill, and thusly would still be well appreciated by The Maternal Family™️. They’re used to me being little more than a zombie sometimes due to my own health issues so they wouldn’t take much issue if Leona seemed tired at the Family Dinner™️ table. As long as he doesn’t deliberately and clearly blow them off(I don’t believe he would at all because if he cared enough about his S/O to go meet his family, he’d put his best foot forward, especially if the family is mostly led by women like The Maternal Family™️). The fact that Leona is a Prince wouldn’t phase anybody outside of just sparking extra curiosity and questions. Tbh Leona probably wouldn’t want to go to The Farm™️ but that wouldn’t stop The Younger Auntie™️ from both extending an invitation as well as an offer to send as many fresh farm products and produce as possible back to the Sunset Savannah as a gift for him and his family. Now after hearing about Cheka, The Younger Auntie™️ would immediately offer to give him the most adorably homemade petting zoo experience of his life and let the lil lion chill with the goats and the chickens. The rooster is an asshole though. Keep Cheka away from the rooster. Anyways Leona would be well-loved by The Maternal Family™️ and sent home with leftovers, love, and an open invitation back anytime. The Cousins™️ especially, they’d love how incredible this man is at chess and his chill vibes. Idk what to tell y’all, they’d love him to bits even despite his laziness at times.

Ruggie: 9/10- The Maternal Family™️ RESPECTS. THAT. HUSTLE. But also would absolutely make sure that Ruggie would get sent home with piles upon piles upon piles of leftovers and fresh farm produce to feed his family and whoever else he would want to share it with. They would ask so many questions about his Grandmother and his community and laud him for how responsible and caring he is about them. The Mother™️ would find Ruggie to be absolutely adorable and like both his dinner and dessert plate high. The Younger Auntie™️ would absolutely invite this boi to The Farm™️. He would not be asked to help with any of the cooking or cleaning or household or farm stuff, he’d honestly be treated like a Prince in his own right, but if he ever did decide to just help out without being asked, The Maternal Family™️ would absolutely be in love. The Cousins™️ might be wary of him playing cards in case he tries to pull a fast one on them, but otherwise would get along swimmingly.

Jack: 10/10- Strong, respectful, responsible, diligent, determined, need I go on? The sheer volume of aggressively positive traits this boi has is so high that The Maternal Family™️ would be over the moon with him. It would take maybe less than ten minutes of talking with him for him to make a good enough first impression on them for them to welcome him into the family. Now, the tail-wagging might throw them for a loop but they’d get used to it and be unbothered by it in no time at all. The Mother™️ would be delighted not just with Jack’s intelligence, but also with how athletic he is. Does he go jogging? Perfect! Come join us(The Mother™️ and The Sibling™️) in the morning! Play sports? Tell us about it! What’s Magift? Sounds fun! The Cousins™️ would practically be BEGGING Jack to come play some sports outside after The Family Dinner™️. The Nan™️ would probably ask if she can pet him tbh but wouldn’t be bothered if he said no. She’d just move right on and start asking about his family and where he wants to invest his future. It’s the athleticism, the respect, and the all around intellect for them😤😤😤 They’d absolutely start asking about making it Down-The-Aisle official after meeting him(and of course, sending him home with mountains of leftovers and fresh produce).

Octavinelle

Azul: 8/10- The Maternal Family™️ would be intrigued at first, maybe a little wary because of how formal he is, but ultimately would come around by the end of a Family Dinner™️. The second the Mostro Lounge comes up, The Mother™️ would be fascinated and ask him all about how he came to essentially run an entire restaurant(Fish Mob notwithstanding) before even graduating. She’d probably ask what they serve there, who makes the food, what’s the vibe, etc. If pics come out, she would die from how cool it looks, and would absolutely want to come pay a visit. Tbh she’d probably also want to meet Floyd and Jade buuuuuut I’m not sure if that’d really go the way she’d think it would. Anyways! She’d definitely show off the most unhinged Baby Sleepy™️ pictures she can find if she catches wind of Azul having a difficult time in the past with his looks and sense of self(I was a weird bean too, it’d just be her way of trying to hype him up). Anyways! The Maternal Family™️ would also be similarly fascinated by Azul’s business ventures and how resourceful he is. The Nan™️ would be highly confused by the idea of an underwater lounge but, by the end of an inevitable unintentional business promotion from Azul(maybe the prospect of a free meal?), she’d be bursting at the seams to go visit with The Mother™️ for Parents Week at NRC. I think that, while Azul is incredibly charming and can lay it on when he needs to, he’s still just a little too formal to be invited to The Farm™️ immediately by The Younger Auntie™️, but would be eventually. The Cousins™️ will also be put off a little at first by him being a literal business boi, but will get past that easily after getting to know him. Just gotta give it some time and everybody will be a member of the Azul fan club.

Jade: 7/10- This boi is smooth, charming, and almost unnervingly perfect on the surface. He exudes ominous energy unintentionally, and definitely would put The Maternal Family™️ off at first. The Mother™️ would absolutely give him a warm reception though, despite the initial vibes, and start delving into the questions about him. When she learns about Mostro Lounge, her interest would be piqued, and like with Azul, she’d ask all sorts of questions about the menu and how it’s run and what Jade’s role is in the whole operation. The Maternal Family™️ would take some time to warm up to Jade completely, but what would tip The Cousins™️ and The Younger Auntie’s™️ family over the edge and into his fan club is learning about the Mountain Lovers’ Club. They literally live on the base of a mountain! If Jade wants to go explore the local mountain range(bonus hint: it’s featured in a very famous folk country song), then they’ll happily invite him to The Farm™️(he’d terrify the rooster into submission) and set him up for a nice hike with The Cousins™️ and The Younger Auntie™️. The Elder Auntie™️ would probably still be a little sus if Jade but would probably come around after The Nan™️ decides he’s a good lil lad. He really is a good boi when it’d come to his S/O so I fully believe that meeting their family would lead him to be the most genuine he’d probably get with other people, if not a little more schmoozy than normal to sweeten that first impression. The Mother™️ would probably send him home with leftovers for both him and Floyd so that his brother will feel welcome to join at the next Family Dinner™️(oh boy).

Floyd: 5/10- Oh boy. This boi is definitely out there for them. The Mother™️ would be very taken aback by Floyd’s behavior, but would do her best to be kind and accommodating. She’d certainly ask about his family, his interests, etc., but probably struggle to find some direction in the conversations with him. The Maternal Family™️ would probably have a similar issue in trying to get to know Floyd but would still treat him with kindness and respect despite their bewilderment and mild confusion. The Cousins™️ would probably get along with him the best, especially when they find out about him playing on the basketball team at NRC. The Elder Auntie™️, despite his laid-backness, would probably appreciate Floyd’s eye for style and appreciation of fashion. It’d definitely be a mixed bag of opinions by the end of the Family Dinner™️ but ultimately, regardless of what The Maternal Family™️ would think of him themselves, they’d approve of him as long as he treated his S/O well and made them happy.

Scarabia

Kalim: Literal Sunshine/10- Because this boi is literally sunshine incarnate and will spoil anyone and everyone he befriends in the general vicinity, The Mother™️ will absolutely just wrap this lil boi in affection and care and stuff his tummy full of the best food on that side of the Mississippi. Kalim would get hugs just as warm and tight as he’d give them, a belly full of food with plenty of leftovers for him, his family, and even Jamil! If Jamil were to accompany Kalim for his first meeting with The Maternal Family™️, he’d be treated with just as much kindness and camaraderie as Kalim, and absolutely sent home with his own bounty of leftovers for his family as well. The Aunties™️ would absolutely eat Kalim up though, and he would absolutely be immediately invited to The Farm™️ for a tour and the same homemade petting zoo that The Younger Auntie™️ would offer Cheka in Leona’s scenario. This boi would love the goats, literally would annihilate the world with how cute it’d be to watch him tour the farm and pet the goats. Anyways, the Family Dinner™️ introducing Kalim to the entire family would be such a smashing success that The Maternal Family™️ would already start planning a party to host the Al-Asims and start planning the wedding. Sleepy what’s your dress size? No, you’re not gonna make it yourself, hush.

Jamil: 9001/10- Honestly just as good of a fit as Kalim. While he’s reserved and plays his cards close to the chest, I fully believe that Jamil would do his best to be more open when meeting his S/O’s family for the first time, and thusly would make a very good impression on The Maternal Family™️. The Mother™️ would dote on this man after learning how respectful and responsible he is on top of being one of the hardest working people at NRC. She would give him literally the best meal in her power to muster, and ask all about his hobbies and interests, and absolutely avoid asking about anything Kalim-related after learning that it’s basically what he has to do for his job because of his family’s history with the Al-Asims. He plays basketball? Awesome! He should go shoot some hoops with The Cousins™️ and The Sibling™️ after dinner! He breakdances? W O W!! Show us some videos please! The Maternal Family™️ would literally be so impressed by how multitalented and responsible Jamil is, and even moreso if they learn how cunning and strategic he is when he inevitably gets roped into playing cards, chess, mancala, or even Stratego! There would also be an open invitation to The Farm™️, and if Jamil isn’t interested in seeing the animals, that’s ok! The Younger Auntie™️ would be happy to have another Family Dinner™️ at her house this time where she cooks instead of The Mother™️! Regardless, Jamil would be sent home(reluctantly, The Maternal Family™️ absolutely wants to have him move in) with leftovers and fresh produce to last him at least several more days if not a full week. When is he coming back, Sleepy? Have you talked about….you know?! *Wiggles ring finger expectantly* He’s such a nice boy….

Pomefiore

Vil: 9/10- Vil would like The Maternal Family™️, and they would like Vil. The Mother™️ would be mindful of his strict diet upon request if he joined them for a Family Dinner™️ and would absolutely offer to pack up and send him home with only the most wholesome leftovers for later in the week. The Mother™️ is such a master of the culinary arts that I’m confident that she’d absolutely be able to find a dessert to fit well enough into Vil’s strict diet to eat on a non-cheat day, but would happily forego that course of the meal upon request. She’s a big health nut too so absolutely would respect and accommodate Vil as much as possible. If he’d be open to spilling some of his secrets, she’d probably like to trade recipes with him too for health foods and wholesome snacks! The Younger Auntie™️ would absolutely do so as well, and would make sure that, if Vil doesn’t take home any of The Mother’s™️ leftovers, he at least has a bag full of fresh and wholesome produce to bring back home with him! The invite to The Farm™️ is probably not one Vil would take her up on but she wouldn’t be that offended. As far as The Elder Auntie™️ goes, she’d be so dazzled by his work and his celebrity status and probably ask how he manages to stay so put together and well balanced considering all of the pressure he’s under to be so perfect all of the time. The Nan™️ would probably just be vibin’ on the side and appreciating how Vil clearly puts a lot of care and consideration into his looks and public image as well as his health. She’d probably try to convince him to take some of her special sweet bread home and just slip it into his bag when he’s not looking if he politely declines. Anyways everybody would really like Vil, even The Cousins™️, and the only thing that’d be at all worrying for them is just that dating celebrities can be really difficult when said celebrity has thousands of fans that might lash out on social media out of jealousy. That’s not Vil’s fault though, so The Maternal Family™️ would be a-okay with this absolute S-Tier catch.

Rook: Literally Cannot Even/10- For reference, The Maternal Family™️ has very strong French and German heritage and thusly will be floored that this man is fluent in one of those languages. And that’s only the FIRST thing about him that would impress their socks off. Because of this man’s solar-level-flair(yes, I know a flare is different from flair, it’s a PUN😤) for the dramatic, I have no doubts in my mind that he would greet The Mother™️ with a full bow and a flourish followed by a kiss on the back of her hand after kneeling before her. This man doesn’t just drink that respecc wamen juice, he feckin CHUGS it. Man’s gonna worship the woman who birthed his S/O and then of course the woman who birthed the woman who birthed his S/O; this will earn him ALL THE SON-IN-LAW-TO-BE POINTS. He will be fed a veritable king’s feast and then treated to an old and one of our most special family recipes for dessert(I can’t tell you what it is though😉). The Maternal Family™️ would absolutely hang onto every word that leaves this man’s mouth when he’s telling a story or a joke because of how much of a natural entertainer he is(and incredibly easy on the eyes). It wouldn’t take long at all for everyone to be head over heels for Mr. Hunt; The Younger Auntie™️ would absolutely invite Rook to The Farm™️ on the condition that he doesn’t hunt the goat or the chickens(mcfrick the rooster lol), to which I’m sure he would happily accept. By the end of the Family Dinner™️ everyone would be so showered in compliments and praise that Rook would barely escape without being convinced to spend the night in the guest room and stay for a nice brunch in the morning. His S/O would have to literally drag him out to get him home at a decent hour.

Epel: 7/10- This boi is probably the most like everyone in The Maternal Family™️ and would fit in the most seamlessly. The Mother™️ would have to resist the urge to calm him cute and adorable and probably would fill the hole that that’d leave by asking Epel about his family, where he comes from, and his family’s business! Apples?? No way! Our family makes fresh applebutter in the Fall! You’ll join us next time, right? Bring your Granny! The Nan™️ would abso-feckin-lutely love Epel and how spunky he is; by the end of the visit, she’d be determined to find a new friend in Meemaw Felmier. Epel seems like he’d really enjoy The Farm™️, so the Younger Auntie would offer the invite as the visit is winding down and while loading him up with goat cheese and goat milk and veggies to bring back to Chez Felmier for his family. The Cousins™️ would definitely pal around with Epel and warm up to him the fastest out of everybody since he can probably relate the most to them. Altogether Epel would fit in pretty well, but because he’s still a lad, The Maternal Family™️ would still be a bit wary until he grows a little more.

Ignihyde

Idia: 5/10- Okay, so here’s the thing; The Maternal Family™️ is warm and very inviting and will do their very best to make people that come and spend time with them feel as welcome and at home as possible. However- it’s up to the guests to meet them in the middle, and with Idia struggling so fiercely with social anxiety and also not being the most socially adept regardless, I think both The Mother™️ and The Maternal Family™️ might be a little awkward in figuring out how to best settle into this relationship. They’d certainly do their best and get to a comfortable place with him eventually, knowing that he makes his S/O as happy and cozy as he can, but the interim would be a bit crunchy. Idia probably wouldn’t have much access to junk food and easy snacks while visiting The Mother™️ but she would absolutely feed him like one of her own. The Aunties™️ both might be wary, but due ti his affinity with all things otaku, The Cousins™️ and The Sibling™️ would get along with Idia easily after breaking the ice. All in all the initial visit would be a bit awkward, but I’m certain with time they’d come to treat him like any other family member.

Ortho: Literal Child/10. Nothing about this would be in a boyfriend way, he’d probably accompany Idia on the “meet the family” visit. The Maternal Family™️ would love him though, they’d think he’s positively adorable. His chipper attitude coupled with his incredibly earnest and sincere curiosity about things. Ortho would be included in literally everything. He is a good boy and The Maternal Family™️ would commit whole crimes for him. Frick.

Diasomnia

Malleus: Happily Ever After/10- Okay, so because he’s THE Heir to the throne, he’d probably have to bring along his retainers for security buuuuut I can guarantee that even Sebek would be more than satisfied with how honored and welcomed his Waka-sama would be into the Den of the Mother™️. Regardless of his Royal Status, he’d still get literally the biggest hug from the smallest woman and sat down for the best meal she can muster(which I guarantee is Michelin level good). Because Malleus is such a gentle and curious soul and was trained to be the very picture of impeccable manners and diplomacy, I’m sure he’d probably be very interested in not only the meal The Mother™️ would prepare, but also all the little knickknacks around her house, and she would be SO happy to be able to tell him about anything and everything she has knowledge on. The Maternal Family™️ would absolutely equal and mirror Malleus’s curiosity about the human world with their own regarding the Valley of Thorns. They might be a little nervous at first to ask questions, but Lilia would abso-fucking-lutely break that ice for both parties in no time. The Nan™️ would be so infatuated with Malleus by the end of their first conversation precisely because of his gentility and curiosity; she’d find his lack of knowledge of human society as the most adorable novelty. The Elder Auntie™️ would be very impressed by his title but also certainly would get a kick out of his special interest in Gargoyles and probably direct him to The Elder Uncle™️, who was an architect before he retired, and The Sibling™️, who went to college to study world history and also has a fascination with architecture. Now, this would make for great conversation up and until The Farm™️ gets brought up. This would probably be as much a novelty for Malleus as it would be an exciting field trip in Lilia’s eyes, who will probably insist that they all go visit the following day. Needless to say that The Younger Auntie™️ will absolutely be sending Malleus home with loads of her fresh farm products to share with his family and for Lilia to use in his “cooking”. All in all, the Family Dinner™️ would be a cozy, warm, and exciting experience for everyone in attendance and especially for Malleus. The highlight of the meal would undoubtedly be the dessert options he’d have available to him, reason being that The Mother™️ owns one of those ball thingys that makes homemade ice cream when it’s tossed around for a while. Between the prospect of homemade ice cream and the game of throwing and rolling around The Ball™️ with The Cousins™️, Malleus(so long as he doesn’t throw it so hard that he breaks it or any of the family) would be having so much fun despite Sebek screeching about “making Lord Malleus do manual labor”. Of course once the ice cream is ready, The Mother™️ would make sure that our favorite fae Prince gets as many toppings on top as he pleases, and finds his thinly veiled giddiness to be the most precious thing in the whole world. Rather than sending him home with leftovers, she’d make sure that Malleus understood that he’s a.) welcome back literally anytime with a heads up, and b.) got an invitation by extension for his family and especially his Grandmother, who The Maternal Family™️ will absolutely bend over backwards for to impress. They’d literally be begging ol’ Sleepy for details about the relationship afterwards, constantly asking after Malleus, sending well wishes and regards to his family(The Younger Auntie™️ would probably work out some means of getting fresh goat milk and goat cheese and chèvre to the castle for Grandma Draconia monthly), and dropping incredibly not-so-subtle hints about wanting a wedding soon. They’d be so proud and so happy that he’d be able to provide total stability and security for his S/O in pretty much every way imaginable. It’s no wonder he’d probably be their perfect pick out of everybody here.

Lilia: 10/10- It would not be hard at all for the Diasomnia Dad to charm the socks off of The Maternal Family™️. Between exchanging his very eccentric recipes with The Mother™️, to listening with fascination to The Younger Auntie™️ telling him all about The Farm™️, to just turning The Nan™️ into a giggly, giddy mess with how incredibly charming this boi is when he really starts laying it on, to probably absolutely handing The Cousins’™️ asses to them on the finest silver platters in most video games, The Maternal Family™️ would be absolutely in love with Lilia as much as he would be in love with his S/O. The Mother™️ probably wouldn’t let him into the kitchen for obvious reasons after hearing about his recipes, but she’d absolutely spoil him rotten with her incredible meals. She’d probably attempt to get him in for another family visit every week after that first Family Dinner™️ because he’s such a bright and entertaining presence in any room he’s in. So, Sleepy…..I know he’s busy with his….kids…?….but when are we gonna get to see that lovely Mr. Vanrouge again? How’s that ring finger lookin’?

Sebek: 6.5/10- Sebek’s stiff formality would absolutely throw everyone in The Maternal Family™️ off at first, as well as his initial ostensible disgust with humans, but if he loves his S/O enough to go and meet their family, I think he’d truly do his best to be respectful. Sure, The Maternal Family™️ would do their best to hold conversations and get to know him, but he’d still probably find a way back to talking about his Wakasama and his homeland among other things, but he’d still probably still exhibit enough manners to make a decent impression. The Mother’s Food™️ is absolutely incredible so I fully believe it can charm anyone, Sebek included, and I’m sure that he’d probably be able to muster up his compliments after getting past his initial shock. I’m not sure how The Aunties™️ and The Nan™️ would feel after just one visit(especially since Sebek probably would not show much interest in The Farm™️ or any human hobbies), but if both he and they got to know each other better, they’d come to accept him with some time. He’s GOTTA chill out though.

Silver: 9/10: Mans is a literal Disney Princess, just mega sleepy; he’d absolutely do his best to stay awake to meet his S/O’s family though! Lucky for him, The Maternal Family™️ is used to my own chronic fatigue issues so they’d absolutely make room for him mid-visit if he really needed to take a nap. Otherwise, they would love to get to know him! This chivalrous yet laid-back personality would fit right in with the more chill members of The Maternal Family™️, The Mother™️ included. Everybody would love to ask and hear about Silver’s experience growing up as a human in a fae society, and then subsequently start asking him what human experiences he hasn’t tried yet and if he’d like to go on a family outing to go do them. The Cousins™️ especially would want to get to know Silver so that if he has missed out on some aspects of the human experience thus far, they can become his adventure buddies. Regardless, everyone, including The Nan™️, would have no problem accepting Silver into the family right away. The Mother™️ would send him home with plenty of leftovers(much to Lilia’s chagrin and Diasomnia’s delight) and an invitation to bring his family with him next time! They’ll have important things to discuss.👀

God I was so so tired all day and I almost fell asleep on the bus home from work but I have done dishes and showered and put laundry away and my laundry is now in and I went to the shops and got stuff for my sister's tea and got stuff for my tea and I could have gone the lower spoon investment route but I got vegan chicken and avocado and lime and wraps and made really good homemade fajitas w guacamole and plenty for lunch tomorrow and now I have my food and my cider and in ten minutes my laundry will be done and I think. I think I managed to invest the spoons wisely and this favourite dinner and finished chores will soothe and replenish me and my spoon quota. I am going to watch x files and do my silly drawings next :)

Tour Diary; Sixties Gold Tour 2022 Part 1

Day -1, 10.10.22; Final Rehearsal

After having had a couple of days rehearsal last month, we got back together today and ran the set through. Pleased to say it sounded great and everyone is happy for the kick off tomorrow; final logistics seemed to take longer than the actual playing! Feels like it’s come around very quickly despite almost a year of waiting; excited for it all to begin.

Day 1, 11.10.22; Weymouth

An early afternoon drive in the sunshine brought us to Weymouth Pavillions and the buzz and (relatively) organised chaos of the first day. Great to meet all the other musicians, sound guys and entourage that make everything what it is. It’s quite impressive to see the whole thing come together.

Post Soundcheck, time for some dinner and plenty of time to get ready before taking the stage. A great crowd in Weymouth; enthusiastic and responsive - everything you want to hear and a great start to the tour.

Stayed the night at Cerne Abbas Brewery which allowed a post gig hang with some amazing people and some excellent ale.

Day 2, 12.10.22; Cardiff

A good breakfast always sorts you out and we headed off up to Cardiff. Another Soundcheck today and we added a brief snippet of another song into the set so a little bit of planning / rehearsing for that. We had some time before taking the stage so got some food and went clothes shopping as a band. 2 shirts and a pair of boots between us!

One of the great things is being able to watch the other acts; it all sounds fantastic and the songs are so upbeat.

Our set started a little on the back foot for me as I was still adjusting the amp settings when we began but an amazing Cardiff crowd turned it into a fab night. Lots of singing and dancing; alls well that ends well. Drove back to the hotel in Bristol ready for a day in Bath tomorrow.

Day 3, 13.10.22; Bath

My started with a visit from Tony who dropped off some physical copies of our NWI album “Habits Far Too Bright”; nice to finally get my own copy!

Onwards to Bath, straight to the amazing Forum to unload the gear before being set loose on the unsuspecting public.

We had a proper touristy day; lunch outside in the square, wander round the shops then the tour of the Roman baths. Of all the times I’ve visited I’ve never done the tour; it was amazing to see the history and hear how it all came about. A good day.

At some point we had to go and do some work and the Bath crowd did not disappoint; very responsive and appreciate - lots of dancing as well!

As we weren’t too far away, we took the opportunity to go home for 12hrs before heading to Plymouth. A full day!

April 16 - Fun day in Solomons. Well, mostly fun. Got the little bit of laundry that we had washed and dried (free machines!!). I didn’t NEED to do laundry, but our travels over the years has taught us that if something is available, even if you don’t need it, do it (or buy it) anyway. One never knows what is available at the next stop.

David and I risked life and limb to ride the marina’s bikes the 2 miles to the grocery store. I will admit that the bikes were in better shape than they were in October. My bike was a bit small for me, but all other bikes were way too high. The bikes’ tires were inflated, the brakes worked (pumper bikes) and the wheels did not wobble. David did have to tweak my handle bars so that they were centered on the frame and not skewed to the left. A bonus on the bikes—the rubber handle grips were not gummy!!

After lunch we took a walk into town. So scenic!

Such a cute church!

Every town has a “dive bar”

The geese figures on this lawn have cute outfits on.

There are plenty of life rings hanging alongside this dock.

Tonight we had dinner with Cindy and Dean, a couple we met in the dock when we were in Hampton. Delicious food. Interesting couple. Fun time. Cindy and Dean have been living on their boat full time for the past 3 years. They sold their home in Little Rock, bought a sailboat, and have been full-time cruisers since then. Don’t know if I’d be able to live on a boat full-time. Many people do, but I don’t think it is for me.

Tomorrow morning we will leave Solomons and head for St Michaels. It’s been a few years since we’ve stopped in St Michaels. St Michaels is another cute little town to fall in love with. St Michaels has a maritime museum which we have visited. The main street is full of shops and restaurants. The one negative thing about St Michaels—there are brown snakes in the water! Not kidding.

Another adventure awaits us tomorrrow!

March 25: Varied Day

Today was kind of proof that work days don’t need to be more than 5 hours long. I came in, did some work, briefly freaked out about Friday’s oral history, watched the problem basically fix itself, did a few more tasks, and then left at 12:30 for my optometrist appointment. That wasn’t until 2 but like… the bus, you know? So I had like a full half hour to fuck around the World Market. This is a dangerous place for me in the same way that any office supply story is: gets me thinking about my ideal habitat and the way I’d furnish a house but like I’m a millennial so lol. I lusted after a weird little teal mushroom stool, and looked at all the cool mugs that I do not at all need because my mug shelf is at capacity.

The actual appointment was very easy. My prescription is almost exactly the same, as I was expecting, and my eyes are good. No long waits, nothing weird, got that out of the way. Then I went to Trader Joe’s because I have zero food to eat for lunch left. There is no way to just ‘pop into’ Trader Joe’s, first because I don’t know the layout, second because there’s all this weird stuff to look at, and third because the atmosphere does not encourage the sort of aggressive shopping I do at the Walmart. But I still had plenty of time to catch a bus that would get me home a solid two hours earlier than usual. So I was able to do everything I would usually try to do after work on a good day and instead of finishing at 8:30 I finished at 6:30. Then I sort of sabotaged myself a little, just a tad, because it was so early and I didn’t know what to do with myself that would be good, productive, or fun. But the point is that in a span of less than 12 hours I did work for which I was paid (because I was focused, probably about as much as I get done on some days I work 8 hours ngl), ran errands, went to the optometrist, did some cleaning, did some relaxing, did some reading, and then still had a whole evening for, if I were a better person, eating a reasonably timed dinner and going to bed at a good time. Like. This is a good day. This is a fine day. The University has not been harmed by this day.

Ugh. I haven’t done anything creative really but that would require me, like, sweeping aside an entire afternoon just to gear UP to writing, so it’s okay. Tomorrow I have to work a full day of work (UGggggggggggggggggh) and then go grocery shopping (boo).

Entry 1: 1:07 PM Today I decided I was going to go on a far walk for some lunch! I packed the essentials: my wallet, my headphones so I could imagine storylines better as I went, my paper notepad and trusty mechanical pencil (because you never know when a good idea'll strike). I never leave home without these! Entry 2: 1:11 PM The first of many crosswalks. These get very scary, as plenty of drivers in Orlando can be distracted, in a hurry, or just plain misanthropic. Fortunately, I lived to document the tale....this time. Entry 3: 1:58 PM I'm halfway there on my journey! According to Google Maps, this marks the 3 mile mark. A lesser me would swing by here for Pizza Hut's Cinnabon, but I was committed to go full throttle today! Maybe next time, though...I'm tempting myself as I write this. Entry 4: 2:28 PM I made it to KFC- on foot! I always love boasting to friends how ridiculously far I walk in the name of food. It's 4.8 Miles away from my apartment. There's one closer by a few miles, but it's too shady... I think I'm better off going "the scenic route". This will take a lot of my day up, but hey! I got enough so this little excursion can count as "groceries" for tomorrow's breakfast! Entry 5: 2:51 PM As I gaze into the parking lot, the next challenge looms over the horizon: doing it all over again. The walk back is usually easier for some reason...it must be the chicken. Entry 6: 3:35 PM Saw a celebrity in the towns. It's funny, I don't recognize him being there from my way to. Then again, running for your life in Orlando streets trying to cross messes with one's perception. It's like that basketball video where they ask you if you saw the gorilla. Entry 7: 7:06 PM Ergh...I have to study for a Japanese Exam tomorrow...Why me...? Entry 8: 7:07 PM Actually.... (Just kidding! This screenshot was at 9:18. I just thought the juxtaposition was funny haha) Doing all this busy work in classes really slogs down the old brain, and since I didn't have much to report on, I figured I'd be honest and say that this was indeed a chapter of my day. Entry 8.?? 10:52 PM After getting my butt kicked a bit too much for comfort (darn you MetalMan!!), I figured its been a while since I ate. I popped down to Blaze Pizza to get some well earned dinner. Entry 9: 11:07 PM As I sit by my computer, I prepare to complete this assignment by recounting the adventurous day I had... Entry 10: 11:22PM ...Until I realized my picture of me entering Blaze Pizza was blurry! I ran down as fast as I could to get a new picture. Take 2 came out blurry, but I'll look at a half full glass and say the picture "captures the excitement of the trilling hunt of capturing the picture". Yeah...
