[foolishsunshine]

I am D E E P L Y in love with with The Season by Linnetagain It is sincerely one of my favourite reads of all time. It's just so, so good and living rent free in my brain 24/7 so I did some lil' sketches of the golden boys ❤️ Also, yes, I referenced Tessa & Scott for literally all of these pose (don't ask me how many times I've watched the Moulin Rouge routine in the last few weeks)

Fell down the rabbithole of The Season by Linnetagain recently, and the latest chapter has me by the throat. Had to doodle this scene.

Hestia, babygirl, they can't even kiss and you're calling them out harder than Karlach did Astarion 2 chapters ago.

Details below the cut (Karlach doing a spit take and Astarion having an exestential crisis mostly)

Hermes: Step one, invite him to play truth or dare

Apollo: what

Hermes: Step two, wait until he picks dare which he will because I'll be making chicken noises at him

Apollo: why?

Hermes: Step three...dare him to marry you

Apollo: Absolutely not

Dionysus, sitting right there: It might work

Fantasy Guide to the Season

The Season is the period within the year where the social elite, the wealthy and the noblity usually return to the the city for a long string of events, balls and dinners. It was a time for luxury, for pleasure and most importantly to socially socially by networking.

A Change in Locale

The Season drew all the nobles and wealthy back from their country estates and abroad back to the capital. At the height of the Season in the years preceding WWI, most of the elite held homes within the City where they would move into while the Season was on. There would have been a mad rush to return to the capital in order to be at the very centre of things. Since the English Season always coincides with sittings of Parliament, all members of both Houses take part in the Season.

Social Events of the Year

The Season was a string of events of mixed variety ranging from the arts to sports to royal rituals between April and August. In the UK some the most recognizable events of the year belong to the Season such as the Grand National and Wimbledon. The Season was also the time for debutants to make their social debut and when royal orders such as the Order of the Garter would be bestowed. Between all the official events, most of the nobility and elite would throw dinner parties, tea afternoons, salons and balls.

To give you an idea of the range of events we will use the English Season as an example of all the events that run in this time: Glyndebourne Opera, The Proms, Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, West End theatre Horticulture, Chelsea Flower Show, Royal Ascot, Cheltenham Gold Cup, Badminton Horse Trials, Grand National, Royal Windsor Horse Show, Epsom Derby, Glorious Goodwood, Cartier Queen's Cup, Trooping the Colour, Garter Service of the Order of the Garter, Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, Boat Race, Henley Royal Regatta, Guards Polo Club, The Championships, Wimbledon, Cowes Week, Lord's Test cricket match. Since the Season also coincided with the marriage market, there would be a lot of engagements announced and weddings held.

At the end of the Season, usually around the 12th of August the elite would leave the city and return to the country for the hunting and shooting season.

What to Wear to the Season

Like most tradition heavy events, the Season was all about dressing appropriately. Wear the wrong thing and everyone you want to impress will see it. At polo matches, the gentlemen wear a blazers and strictly white trousers. Ladies are encouraged to wear flat shoes at these events. At the Royal Regatta, gentlemen wear lounge jackets and ties, and are permitted to wear their club colours as a show of support. It is usually traditional to wear boater hats. The ladies must wear dresses or skirts, with the hem below the knee. Women do not need to wear hats to these events. At events as such as Royal Ascot, everyone wears hats. The men wear either morning dress with waistcoat and a top hat, usually in grey or black. The only time a man removes his top hat is when he's dining, sitting in a box, on the balcony or within the Royal Enclosure. Ladies also must wear hats and are absolutely not permitted to show off shoulders. At the Presentation of the debutants, the traditional choice for the debutantes is a white court dress (though soft pinks and shades of white are permitted). The dress was short sleeved and had to have a train. The debutante wore long white gloves, a veil in her hair with three white ostrich feathers and jewels. Before the debutant has been introduced, she would hold her train over her arm and then let it fall when she has been presented.

How to Have a Successful Season

The Season was essentially there to keep all the nobles and elite entertained while they fulfilled political duties. Against the backdrop of fun and politics, there was a competition going on. Different hostesses would battle to throw the best parties, the most exclusive balls, the most interesting dinner parties. Families would spend lavish amounts of money fighting to impress and remain relevant. If one wants a successful social Season, one has to obtain as many invites as possible and establish one's self at the centre of the elite social sets. To be seen at all the top events was a sign of success and in this success, you can begin to advance socially by making contacts with influential peers or to advance through the marriage market. As a host, the most important guests such as Dukes, Marquesses and any royal family member marks you as one of the top tier hosts.

there's a buck getting his meredith drowning moment theory?!?!?!??!

I mean, I have a theory about Buck drowning in season 7 that spiraled out of control because I remembered the episode where Meredith drowns and @slowlyfoggydestiny agrees with me, I don't know if more people are in on it tbh, I mostly just typed it out here to get it out of my head. I have 2 visions of the situation, one ends in buddie, the other ends in Buck getting help. I have a thought process, I don't know how valid it is, but I think Buck needs to drown, with the way most of his trauma are tied to water or breathing, the emergency tracheotomy on the date with Abby, the blood clot in his lung, the tsunami, the well, the fire in Buck begins, the lightning and the way his lungs stop working, Buck keeps holding his breath, it seems fitting. I was against using him drowning to trigger some healing moment for him, partially because I don't think he cares about himself enough to breakdown over dying, but also because my whole thing hinges on the way they made Buck and Eddie's personal journeys parallel to each other and that would be too on the nose. But I was thinking about it and I realized I fell victim to the parallels between the shooting and the lightning and decided the lightning was the shooting for Buck, when the lightning is actually the well (the rain at night aspect, the team as an audience, the volunteering into the situation, the uncertainty for everyone involved, the eventual "i have to save myself" moment, even the breathing aspect with the way Eddie almost drowned), so he needs the shooting. And the shooting has a lot of interesting elements, it happens by chance, they weren't supposed to be there but they are because Charlie called Eddie directly, Buck has no one else he trusts there so he does the rescuing part alone, and it brings up a past trauma for Eddie with the army.

Some of Buck's biggest traumas revolve around water, the tsunami and the lightning, and getting trapped, the truck bombing. 2 + 2 equals Buck and Eddie in a situation that ends with Buck drowning. My main vision right now is: Buck gets called somewhere for an emergency, somewhere near water, a bridge, a cliff, (I go back and forth with this one but right now I'm plagued by Taylor Kelly's emergency beacon, so current version involves her activating that and Buck and Eddie going to check what happened), that being solved, them witnessing another accident after it, Buck falling into the water completely by chance, ground gave up under him type thing, him ending up pinned somewhere he could get out if he tried hard enough, and at first he tries but then he just stops, then Eddie jumps in, dramatic cpr and all its possibilities, "you're not doing this to me again", Buck coughing up water while sitting up, Eddie catching him when he drops back, "I got you, I got you", all those really fun things, that lead to Buck having to start to deal with stuff.

other posts I made about this here here and here but is pretty much me saying the same thing multiple times as the thoughts start to take more shape.

Some headcannons for my current roadtrip fic

The two best drivers are Apollo and Dionysus, but no one knows Dionysus can drive because he refuses to get a licence

Dionysus also tends to drive like a freak. Like, he will ignore all signs and road restrictions. "The road is empty why would I drive at 50???" And then he bumbs it onto a 100.

Apollo is the opposite. He follows all the rules. All. Of. Them. Dionysus makes fun of him for it.

Two worst drivers are Hermes and Artemis.

Athena refuses to use Google maps because regular maps are better... She can't read regular maps.

Hermes uses a gps behind her back

Ariadne has a roadtrip vibes playlist and it's genuinely a calming playlist

Artemis has a bunch of song memorised from her time with her Huntresses

Artemis and Dionysus argue a lot. All the time.

Dionysus has alcohol for every occasion

Apollo gets tired at some point and Dionysus makes him pull over and hand over the steering wheel

Apollo while terrified at the prospect doesn't argue too much

Dionysus is a better driver than anyone expects. It's actually insane. They're all very very shocked.

Apollo ends up falling asleep and Dionysus keeps taking glances at him and smiling.

They stop at a motel because their car broke down and it lead to too much choas

Dionysus, Apollo and Hermes share a room and Dionysus and Apollo have to share a bed

It goes about as well as expected

Apollo, Artemis and Hermes steal from a convenience store

Athena reprimands them

Athena, also, has all the snack

Hermes, Artemis and Ariadne end up at a gay club while Dionysus and Apollo are lost in the woods
