[seraphic-sapphic-safehaven]

To any queer person who's struggling today because of the holiday and having to be around bigoted family:

Please know that you are loved. Please know that, though your family may not accept you, there are countless others who do. And please, please, please hear me when I say... who you are is not wrong. Your orientation, gender, pronouns, etc., they are not wrong. There is absolutely nothing wrong with or bad about being yourself, being the you whom you were born and destined to be. Don't let anyone tell you different. Don't let anyone ever make you feel different either.

You are a bright, radiant light in this world. Your existence makes the world, the universe, a better place. This life would be incomplete without you in it. Please always remember how valuable you are. And again, never forget how loved you are.

I'm sending love, light, and good vibes to you all today. I love you. You will make it through this. You will be okay ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Saw your post requests tonight, could you do something Bucky Barnes X reader? With readers family being extremely nosy on Thanksgiving? You know the usual questions, for example: when/how did you meet? when will you get married/engaged? when you having kids? Are you living together?

Thankful

The trip to your parent’s place was filled with laughs, kisses and a few rest stops. It was the first time Bucky was going to meet your family since you started dating and being scared was one of the many emotions you felt. Not because your family wouldn’t like him but just because you knew how overbearing your family could be during the holidays but Bucky insisted that he could handle it so that's how you found yourselves driving to upstate New York, to your parents place.

Soft lips pressed a kiss to the back of your hand which snapped you from your thoughts and you smiled over at Bucky. “It’ll be fine, Doll. I promise I can handle it.” He said.

“I know I just don’t want you to get overwhelmed or trapped around all these loud nosy people.” You chuckle softly, moving your hand to caress his cheek as he drives, which he appreciated.

“Baby.. Do you happen to forget that we work for the avengers? Have you been in a room with any of them at all?” He laughed and gave your hand a reassuring squeeze.

“Okay- that is true! But these are people you’re meeting for the first time.” You counter.

His brow quirks, “Do you forget that everyone was a stranger to me at one point including you? I think I can handle being around a roomful of strangers for a couple hours, plus they’re your family. It's important to meet them, especially since I love you so much.” He grins at you before the navigator told him the destination was close.

After a few moments the car was parked and Bucky had rounded the front to open your door. Getting out you grabbed the cupcakes you made just so you didn’t show up empty handed before walking up to the front door of your childhood home. Bucky politely knocked before his arm snaked around your waist keeping you close, today he opted to wear a long sleeve and his usual leather glove long with his leather jacket, your parents knew who he was and you understood his hesitation but you reassured him that your family would be considerate given his past.

A second passes and your mom answers the door, she greets you both with a big smile and moves out the entryway for you to step inside. Bucky takes the cupcakes from your hands so you and your parents can share a hug as well as take your jacket off to hang it up.

Shyly he shifts his weight from foot to foot until you turn your attention to him with a bright smile. “Mom, Dad, this is my boyfriend Bucky that I’ve been telling you about?” You nod softly before you take the cupcakes and walk them into the kitchen leaving Bucky to say his hellos with your parents.

He looks a bit nervous but you give him a smile to help sooth him which it does, he gives your mom a quick hug and gives your dad a handshake before they go back into the kitchen.

Your mom checks on the turkey as your younger sister comes in and gives you a hug, while everyone’s attention is occupied, Bucky decides to slip off his jacket as well as his gloves. “He really is cute.” He smiled at your sister's whisper, not sure if anyone knew he had enhanced hearing so he kept his pride to himself.

Instead he walked over and greeted your little sister. “Doll here’s told me lots about you. It’s nice to finally meet you, I do hope you’re enjoying your break from college.” He said, your sister smiled up at him.

“I am, thank you. But now I’m worried about the things you’ve heard.” She laughs.

“All good things, I promise.” He chuckled, a man came down the stairs followed by a woman who held a young boy in her arms. The man looked more like you causing Bucky to assume that was your older brother.

“Hey man it’s nice to finally meet you.” Your brother gives Bucky a smile and one of those weird manly handshakes with a shoulder pat which makes you giggle softly under your breath.

“It’s nice to meet you too, all of you, really.” Bucky nodded and looked around the room.

The woman holding the small child greets you both quietly before she goes over to the fridge to grab a juice box for the little one in her arms.

Your dad moves into the living room along with your brother while your sister in law sits at the kitchen table with her son. He’s happily babbling, not caring much for everything that was happening around him besides the fact that soon enough he too would be enjoying a yummy dinner.

Your sister grabbed a cupcake and took a bite before she spoke, “So how did you and my sister meet?”

You sit down and babble quietly with your nephew while Bucky answers your sister. “We met at work actually, since she works with the CEO of Stark Industries and I work with the husband of the CEO of Stark Industries, we were bound to run into one another which we did often.” He flashed you a soft smile as you helped occupy your nephew.

The sight made his heart clench but he turned his attention to your mother who now spoke up.

“You two have been going out some time now, things must be serious huh?” Teasingly she waggled her brows at Bucky which made him chuckle.

“I’d like to say they’re pretty serious. I really do love your daughter and I do my best to make her happy.” He replied.

His answer makes you smile. “We moved in together a couple months ago to our own place near Stark tower.” You speak up. Bucky moves to sit beside you at the table and rests his arm on the back of your chair, a football game plays in the background as you hear your father and brother mumbling things to the television.

Your nephew takes note of Bucky and tries to reach out to him which makes the dark haired man chuckle softly. He coos at the little one and lets his small fingers run along his cool metal hand which makes the boy let out a soft squeak.

Your sister in law speaks up, “So Bucky do you have any nieces and nephews? You seem like a natural when it comes to kids.”

He nodded. “Mmhm I do, my little sister Rebecca had children. Although I never got to meet them because of my circumstances, I am happy to hear she had quite the life.”

The woman nodded and gently bounced the little one in her arms.

“You two ever think about having kids?” Your mom asked from across the room, her hands busy peeling potatoes.

The question made your cheeks warm up. “Mother, we just moved in together, not that long ago.”

“So? Doesn’t mean you two can’t think about your future together. I’m assuming you see a future together right?” She aims this question at Bucky who nods without missing a beat.

You can’t help the excited butterflies that fill your belly. “We haven’t even spoken about it much, once we do then we’ll let you know our plan.” You reply with a laugh, brushing your mother off.

“Don’t worry, I’ll let you know the plan.” He teases, speaking to your mom.

She nodded and finished up peeling the potatoes before she set them on the stove. Dinner was almost ready which helped you relax a bit, so far things weren’t as bad as they could’ve been but you still have nerves bubbling into your chest as everyone spoke.

Bucky could sense your nerves and he rubbed your back soothingly, eventually your sister in law took your nephew into the living room and joined your brother on the couch. The sight of the three cuddling up together to watch the football game made you indulge in a daydream with Bucky that you rarely allowed yourself.

It was of you both laughing and enjoying family dinners such as this one but instead of showing up with cupcakes you show up with a little girl of your own. A cousin your nephew could get to know once they’re both older.

You didn’t realize you were that spaced out until Bucky gave your shoulder a little shake, leaning in he whispered, “You okay baby?” Pulling back he looked at your features.

You nod and get up from your seat and you grab a bottle of water for yourself trying to distract yourself from the sweet little daydream. Taking a drink or two from the bottle you sat back down beside Bucky to which his arm curled around your shoulders once again, he gave your cheek a quick kiss which made you smile.

Your mom asked your little sister to set the dining room table which she did, meanwhile the door rang once again, you had an older sister but she had a family of her own which you assumed she’d be staying with her husbands family as they were closer but soon enough your niece came rushing in to give your mother a big hug. A toothy grin on her lips as she flung herself into your moms arms.

Your older sister and her husband came in moments later, she was sporting a small baby bump which made tears spring to your mothers eyes. Everyone chimed in and said congratulations, Bucky held you a bit closer as it grew a little louder in the home thanks to the surprise.

“Why don’t we take a step outside?” You whisper against his shoulder, looking up at him with soft eyes.

He nodded and got up to grab his coat for you. “I’ll meet you out there once you’re done?” He asked.

“Yeah baby, I’ll just be a moment or two.” With that he politely excuses himself for a breath of fresh air while you greet your sister and her family.

Just as you promised, a few moments later you meet Bucky outside on your family's porch and he drapes his jacket over your shoulders. “Are you doing okay so far?” You ask.

He nodded and wrapped his arm around your waist. “I’m okay, I just needed a moment alone with you.” His chest is to your back, his lips press a few butterfly kisses to your neck.

You hum softly in appreciation and the two of you have a few stolen kisses shared together before your little sister comes out to tell you and Bucky that dinner was ready. A faint blush crept up his neck at the interruption, giving your sister a sheepish smile. He kissed your cheek once more before holding the door open for you to head back inside.

Your family is gathered at the beautifully set dining table, your niece happily babbling about some children's show to your brother while your mom's passing around the mashed potatoes, you feel a hand rest upon your knee and smile up at Bucky as you recognize his touch. Your heart flutters at his smile, he genuinely looked happy.

Leaning in, you whisper to him, “I love you.” His blue eyes grow wide for a second but his smile stays plastered to his lips.

“I love you too, Doll. You’re what I’m most thankful for this year.” He says before he presses a kiss to your lips.

“Happy Thanksgiving, Bucky.” You reply. “Maybe next year I’ll be hosting dinner with a ring?” You tease with a soft laugh, earning a playful pinch to your side.

The rest of your evening you spend laughing, chatting and eating dinner with your family. You knew this is exactly how you wanted to spend your holidays, with your family and with the man you loved most.

Thursday, November 23.

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all.

Oh, what might have been. It would have been full of pictures and gifs of Hank Schrader doing miscellaneous Hanktivities: looking very smiley, looking very fierce, laughing, wearing shades, pointing guns, wearing DEA jackets and badges and lanyards, and, of course, perching on the toilet. We would have called it Happy Hanksgiving. It would have been great. 

Sadly a decision was made. So, for those who would have enjoyed Hanksgiving, here's a Snoopy gif to make amends. For those who wouldn't, well, looks like it all worked out just fine. And there's more than enough Snoopy to go around. 

Enjoy the popcorn. And however you mark today, we can only wish peace, love, and lots of good folk and lots of good food for all y'all. Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate.

I hate that being sick means that you sometimes have to say no to things even if it breaks your heart.

How does Kevin rate nutritional score of thanksgiving dinner ?

God now I'm just imagining Kevin insisting on a tofurkey and the riot that would follow.

Andrew: "This is now the worst Thanksgiving Dinner I have ever been to."

The Bat pets unpopular opinions?

Ace: Titus would be a good Robin-hound

Titus: he secretly prefers Krypto

Alfred the cat: hairless cats are all assholes

Bat-Cow: almond milk tastes like cardboard water

Jerry: "Please consume my brethren this Thanksgiving holiday, for I must become the One True Turkey"

Goliath: green is more his color

Bitewing: Dick has terrible taste in dog treats

Crawfish boil with the Sinclair boys.

Lester pulls up to the house early one morning with all that's needed, it's one of those hot humid days though. Everyone is trying to beat the heat while helping Lester with dinner.

Lester is the best at cooking between the three brothers. Bo is good but not as good as Lester and I just think Vincent doesn't remember to eat but he knows how to make things. Basics.

You would be helping in any way they'd ask. Doesn't matter who you are involved with, crawfish boil has all the Sinclairs which includes you doing something. Lester also probably has some other meats that Bo would take over the grilling of because he likes to play with the fire a bit.

If you aren't familiar with a crawfish boil Lester will excitedly tell you everything he knows and even lets you help him with it. If you are from the north he's trying to "help a Yankee/(or where ever you are from) fit in the South". He doesn't mean anything by it. Just likes to tease you, like families do.

It's like a holiday marathon of cooking for all of you. If you had a recipe you wanted to share they'd encourage you. Vincent might hover around you. Helping in any way that you ask. If he's enamoured with you, he's watching you so closely like he's trying to memorize what you look like in such a normal setting.

Vincent's also a fan of decorating the desserts but he finds frosting is more fiddly than wax is. It's still beautiful but he's never happy with it.

If Bo is going to have you help set up a white picnic table so you can eat outside. He knows you're strong but he still won't let you lift the tables alone. He knows he could easily do it himself but he wants a turn spending time with you and especially if he's with you romantically. He ends up setting it up himself and just talks to you about some bullshit that's on his mind.

It all ends with Bo and Lester putting the food out the classic way. You would be shocked, all three of the Sinclairs can eat. A lot. Even Vincent. They are southern boys who all do hard labor all day, they burn so many calories and they love a good feast.

If you've never had them Bo'll teach you how to eat them. If you are allergic or grossed out of course I think they would make sure you ate and were somewhere far from the food while doing their best to make you feel a part of it.

They'd tell happy stories of their childhood, all of which were when they were far from their parents for the most part. They like your weird stories too and laugh when you do. If you've known them a while Vincent would have his mask off and his hair mostly up.

The night would end with Lester goating you into catching lightning bugs with him. Bo would be chain smoking and Vincent would be watching the antics of his family.

It's a night that makes you forget the horrors these boys can be. They just seem so normal and that's why you'd stay with them. The good times were extremely good.

Alright alright I got the frustration edition out, so here's the Happiness Thanksgiving Edition featuring California, Colorado, Illinois, and Florida!! :D

Just look at their smiles 🥹 I know California isn't smiling as wide but I just know that deep inside, he's feeling all the happiness when people went to celebrate with him

Can't talk about happy Thanksgivings without the family man, family myth, and family legend: New York! (He ran to Cal's friendsgiving after the parade and his family's Thanksgiving for sure! And he had a smile on his face all day, a rare and happy thing)

For all my American peeps:

Ik that toady (thanksgiving) is a day that is scary and intimidating. I hate it too, but let’s remember to take care of ourselves.

We need to respect ourselves, and with this holiday a lot of times people fight, and a lot of things get brought up. But just know that I love you and it doesn’t matter what other people say, just be you and live your life. Stay happy healthy and safe.

Please know that you are loved

And know that politics and religion as table topics always suck but you can get through it and if it gets bad, listen to music and/or excuse yourself to calm down and keep yourself safe.

I love yall 💖

And for my people in recovery or struggling with an Ed:

You are not alone.

Make sure you are safe, and try your best.

Food is scary sometimes, and especially with a bunch of people, but know that you are amazing and you deserve nourishment

Please stay safe

And drink your water!
