[waywardcrow]

Koala hugs.

Pairing: Biker!Bucky x Librarian!Reader.

Part of the Sweeter than fiction series.

(This is the first post about it so don’t think you miss something, I got inspiration and here we are)

Summary: After a long day, the only thing she needed is to be in the arms of Bucky.

TW: Stress and a little bit of anger but nothing too explicit, an homophobic asshole (just mentioned), books being mistreated (idk, it gave me anxiety), fluff, Bucky as a human pillow, mention of past insecurities, a petty girl, established relationship, as always: English is not my first language so please let me know if I make a mistake.

Picture from pinterest and graphic by the amazing @ firefly-graphics so all credits to the creators.

The bag hit the floor as soon as she walked in her house, too tired to cared about it this time or about the shoes she left in the middle of the hall the girl made her way to her destiny.

She had one goal in mind, there was one thing that helped her to don’t yell at the little shits who decided to throw books for fun at the back of the library, the thing that made her don’t smack the Karen who went to her desk to complain about the queer books they had in the shelves, the librarian’s head ached from faking a smile while telling that asshole she could file a complain in the city hall if she wanted to. That was her job, not to start a fight before the fairytales reading she had scheduled for that afternoon could begin.

And to make her day more shitty, she found Dolores in the store before going home, the redhead didn’t miss the chance to try to make her react remembering out loud her “time” with Bucky in the cashier’s line before Bobby told her to behave or his wife will kick her out of their business. Dolores will had haunt her forever with her past with Bucky but that was before, Bucky and her didn’t went through hell fighting their ghosts to let that bitch win.

That knowledge didn’t cured her bad mood, her remedy was sleeping in the couch hugging one of her pillows agains his muscular chest. Bucky wasn’t one to take naps in the late afternoon but the last days babysitting Sam and Rose’s kid left him exhausted.

Peach smiled at the sight of him, it was impossible not to, a 6’4 tattooed biker beefy Bucky Barnes cuddling a pink puffy pillow with such a peaceful expression in his handsome face was just so beautiful.

The girl took out her coat and left her in the floor with the grocery bag, not caring about anything else but her boyfriend, Peach pulled Bucky’s pillow from his arms to leave them ready for her.

The once calm expression on her boyfriend changed to a sleepy and cute one when he saw her.

“Hey Peach” his voice raspy and deeper than usual made her pout “what’s the matter?” Bucky started to get up but with one hand she stopped him.

“I want koala hugs”

His eyebrows relaxed before taking her by the hand and pulling her against him, barely awake but loving how far his girlfriend came through, she was still doubtful sometimes but it was getting easier for her to voice her needs.

“Love you so much sweets” he whispered in her skin when she wrapped her thighs around his waist and her arms found their way around his neck, that was their favorite place.

“Love you too Bucky” she sighed, feeling all her stress melt away in his scent, breathing him in as she closed her eyes, letting sleep take them both away.

Little Bird in a Cage (Javier Peña x Reader)

Part 15: Under Arrest (WARNING +18, Smut)

it was pain in the ass to write this episode guys, enjoy :)

----------- All episodes here --------------

It was one of those days in Laredo that spring shows all its beauty, son shines hot, wind blows cold mostly at night.

Javi has been at DEA headquarters in D.C. for two days. You didn't go with him, as it would have been better for him to go alone to make arrangements for his new assignment and plan to settle down. So you just had to wait for him return.

Anyway, you knew the town better now, you have walked along streets, visited shops several times. Sometimes you went with Chucho for groceries and sometimes on your own.

Today was one of the days you went with Chucho. After grocery shopping Chucho invited you to join him for lunch at his favourite restaurant, you gladly accepted. But you had to buy personal and girly things, so after lunch, you excused yourself, left the restaurant to meet him later.

Your relationship with Chucho is becoming more and more like a father-daughter relationship such that you were scolded by him when he wanted to give you money and you didn't take it. In Javi’s absence he wanted to look after you which was so cute.

In fact, you had absolutely no need for his money or anyone else's. Your father was a man who thinks and planning everything in detail so he made sure Dolores put stack of US dollars -enough to buy a house- and valuables in your suitcase before you left. It was more than you needed, so everytime Javi or Chucho wanted to give you money, you didn't want to take it. Eventually Javi has stopped asking, but you didn't want to offend Chucho.

With the money he gives, you only buying house needs, making the house look like a woman lives inside. Everytime he realizes new kitchen utensils at home, he complaines at first but later liked it, and then he just let it go.

Looks like he has no complaints about change.

As you walked past the shops, you stopped, a big smile settled on your face, it was an art and hobby shop.

Paints, pads, papers, canvas, brushes, you realised how much you missed them all. You have been feeling bored lately because you already have too much free time, so it was a tempting idea to buy a few things.

You went straight in, it wasn't a very big shop, but there were lots of different types of paint you needed. There was no one inside, just a noise coming from behind the door, so you decided to check the paints until the shopkeeper came. Then you noticed a canvas and paints with the lid open, someone had just been painting here.

According to the painting on the canvas, the artist was not yet very successful and obviously lacked technical skills. It was none of your business, but you were eager to correct it or give advice.

‘May I help you?’

Suddenly, the shopkeeper's voice startled you and you looked at him. He was a man about your age, and as soon as he saw your face, his hard gaze gave way to surprise and then shyness.

‘I'm sorry, I was just observing, it seems to be missing a few things so,’ your voice soft as velvet.

The young man blushed, he looked like embarrassed, but in what way?

'Yes, I'm still working on it. So, I guess, you are an artist?

'As an amateur, yes,' you said with a smile. ‘I have technical training though, I even had a few exhibitions.’

'Really?' he came closer. ‘You must be famous or well-known?’

'Here, no, but in my town, in my country, a little, yes.’

He raised his eyebrows.

'You must be the girl, the Colombian Beauty everyone has been talking about,' he tilted his head and smiled.

You let out a deep sigh, rolled your eyes.

Did they give you a fucking nickname now?

‘I guess that's my reputation here,’ you murmured.

‘People here love to talk about others especially the new ones and their appearance,’ he came over and looked at the paint in your hand. ‘What is it you need?’

‘Well, everything actually, I've left all behind, so I need new materials.’

‘Sure,’ he smiled and packed a bunch of paints in primary colours, then brushes and two different size of canvas.

A teenager boy came into the shop and looked at you with wide eyes. You frowned.

‘You? Hola señorita, we met again,’ he giggled, very excited.

‘Do you know each other?’ asked the shop owner.

When you look carefully at his face, you recognized him.

‘Ah, tequila boy,’ you smiled, and he laughed hard.

‘Anton, but you can call me whatever you like,’ he smirked.

You smiled but felt weird.

‘What are you doing here, Anton?’

‘My silly brother.”

Anton rolled his eyes. You turned to shop owner.

‘I'm Juan, by the way,’ he said, holding out his hand.

Suddenly you couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The two of them looked at you with surprise, also amazed when heard your voice like ringing, dancing in the air. You realized Juan’s hand was in the air too.

You felt ashamed, covered your mouth with hand.

‘Oh I'm so sorry your name reminds me of someone I met back in Colombia,’ you shook his hand.

‘You know someone called Juan there?’

You bit your lip, ‘Yes.’

You felt your heart starts beating fast when you remember that night.

‘I suppose he was someone important to you?’

He was suddenly very curious.

‘She's got a boyfriend here,’ Anton muttered, sounding upset.

You came to your senses, raised your eyebrows, looking at him.

‘Well, it's none of my business,’ he said then and sheepishly walked out of the shop.

You got confused.

“Please excuse my brother, I think he's experiencing his emotions on the edge because of puberty problems or hormones,” Juan sighed. “He thinks he's in love with you, stupid kid.”

“What?”

“I mean he hasn't stopped talking since the wedding day, you've met him there.”

Suddenly you remembered everything you have done.

“Oh I'm so sorry, it's all my fault,” you felt really sorry.

“It's nothing to do with you, your beauty is not a crime, after all,” he said with smile.

You blushed, but feeling guilty.

“But I'm sure he will have a girlfriend some day, so this will help him to get over.”

“I hope so,” he said with a sigh. “By the way, that's ninety dollars señorita.”

----

The underwear you brought with you were no longer usable, thanks to the all hot rough sex, you and Javi had -almost every night-, so it was urgently needed. To buy new fancy ones, you entered a lingerie boutique and bought lots of pairs. Feeling impatient for his return and excited to see his expression when he see you wearing them.

Next, you went at the pharmacy to buy tampons and personal products. As you reached for the shelf, someone reached for it at the same time you did, and when you looked up you realized it was Lorraine.

You were still nervous and surprised to see her standing in front of you. It was awkward, but it would be even more awkward if you act it’s normal.

No way.

“How's it going?” she was taking a painkiller from the shelf, her younger son was with her.

“Fine, thanks, you?” moving your hair behind your ear.

“I'm fine.”

You wanted to grab a contraceptive pill from the shelf but you felt embarrassed. You turned your head to her son, looking at you curiously. You smiled at him.

“How you doing handsome?” you blinked, he bowed his head smiling shyly but then ran towards another boy who had just walked into the shop.

“Andre!”

You looked at the boy and your gaze locked on him, this was the boy you have seen back the wedding.

Forgetting what you were doing for a moment, you walked towards to him, Lorraine murmured something meanwhile but you ignored her. The boy was smiling as he talked to his friend, but there were bruises on his face and some wounds on his arm. You swallowed hard. As you approached, the boy lowered his head, avoided eye contact. You crouched down to his level.

"Hello, is your name Andre?"

"Yes," he said in low tone.

"Nice to meet you Andre, are you all right? How did this happen?"

He covered his arm with his hand and ran out of the shop. "He's always like that," Lorraine's son whined.

"How well do you know him? Is his face and arms always like this, does he fight a lot?"

"Fight? Never, he's a fool, a coward."

"Matt! We talked about this. You shouldn't say things like that about your friends." Lorraine grabbed his hand angrily, then looked at you. "Why are you asking about Andre?"

"Do you know his family?" you lowered your voice. "Do you think he might be abused by parents?"

She said nothing, as if she'd seen this question coming.

"His mother died, I saw his dad beat him once after school for stealing money from-," she pulled his hand to make him shut up.

You got angry.

"Look, you shouldn't mind other people's business in this town," Lorraine warned you. "Especially families."

"So what, people like to gossip about other people, but they can't say anything about a little boy being abused by his parents? Really?" your voice was louder than you wanted it to be.

"It's a family matter," she'd obviously been through something like this before. "Don't mess with his dad. Come on Matt, let's go."

As you walked out of the shop, all you could think about was the boy's face and his scars, wounds. You couldn't believe it, how could a father do this to his child?

Your first instinct was to go to the sheriff's station, yes, where Javi used to be a deputy sheriff. But you didn't have any evidence or witnesses or anything. You had no choice but to wait for Javi to return.

Suddenly you realised you'd forgotten to buy the contraceptive pill and turned to go back to the pharmacy. Just then, Andre came around the other corner, back to get what he needed from the pharmacy. You waited for him to go inside and hurried in after him.

You took your medicine from the shelf and watched him as he bought a plaster and a gauze bandage. After he paid and left, you did the same before following him. As you rounded the corner, you quickened your pace and stepped in front of him.

He was surprised and stopped. You leaned down and looked at him, gently grabbing his shoulders when he looked like he was going to run back.

‘Andre, look, I want to help you, you can tell me everything, I promise I'll help you.’

He shook his head, 'No, nobody can help me.’

‘What do you mean? Of course they can, please tell me. Or why don't we go to the Sheriff’s station? I promise your father will never find out.’

The boy didn't react, you've never seen anyone look so hopeless.

You felt like something was stabbing you in the heart.

‘Mind your own business, miss, you can't help me anyway.’

'I'm not like the others in town, I'll help you no matter what, let me...'

‘No, please leave me alone,' he said and ran off.

You couldn't hold back your tears as you watched him running away. You had no intention of letting this go, you were going to help him no matter what.

----

When you told Chucho what had happened, he was surprised and angry. The next day you went to the sheriff's station together, but they couldn't help you, they wouldn't do anything without a complaint or evidence. All they could do was open an investigation.

Another day, you and Chucho went to the house where the boy lived with the deputy, as you approached the house he told you to stay in the car. He talked to him about complaints, asked Andre about his dad and all, unfortunately, this only upset Andre's father more.

You had no choice but leave them alone.

You hated that.

Before you left, you noticed the new bruise on Andre's face from distance.

It was haunting you, breaking your heart into pieces.

On the way home you were both quiet in the car, even if he’s hard-headed type, Chucho was so good-hearted man inside, that’s why he was angry as much as you were.

After a mile he suddenly hit the breaks, stopped the car. You were startled as hell, could have hit your head on the dashboard if you haven't been wearing your seatbelt, looking at him in surprise.

But he didn't look at you was busy with reversing the car.

‘Chucho, what are you doing?’

'What I’m supposed to do,' he muttered.

He was furious as he drove the car back to town at high speed. You’ve never seen him like this.

It was dark when he parked near Andre's house.

'Chucho, what are you planning?’

'I don't want to keep the poor kid around that scum for a minute,’ he growled.

'Me neither, but the cops said...'

'The boy, I mean, Andre, his mother, she,' he took a deep breath. 'She was niece of my late wife, Javi's mother. She married this man while she was pregnant had no other choice you know, that poor girl...’ his voice cracks.

You were shocked, Andre’s mother was Javi’s cousin?

‘Stepfather?’ you asked after a moment.

‘Yes, the child is the only memory that I have of that poor girl. She and Javi used to play on our porch when they were kids.’

Chucho got sad suddenly remembering his wife and her niece, Javi never talked about his mother before neither you’ve asked, so hearing from his dad, broke your heart badly, you were familiar with this feeling, you touched his hand.

‘I'm sorry, Chucho,’ you said sincerely. ‘I lost my mother when I was little too. My dad had promised her to look after me. He's a very good father, even though made some mistakes. But Andre, he isn't as lucky as me, so I wanted to help him so badly.’

He turned his head to you patting your shoulder.

‘We will, but you wait here, okay?’

‘But Chucho-’

‘Do as I say,’ he hissed.

You nodded, but having bad feeling about this.

He got out of the car and approached the porch. Your heart started beating fast. You were worried about him. The situation or danger you were in was nothing compared to the cartels or guerillas but you weren’t worry about yourself.

Chucho became someone important for you now, if something happens to him you’d never forgive yourself.

As he knocked the door Andre's father opened, but when he wouldn't let him in, Chucho pushed him back, he staggered, you got out of the car immediately, ran into the house to help him. When Chucho saw you, got angry, reminds you of Javi.

‘Take the kid and get out!’ he yelled, grabs his dad by neck but he hit his face hard.

You did as he said and looked for Andre, saw poor boy was lying unconscious on the floor. You almost fainted from anxiety, immediately picked him up, his weight made you staggered a little but you held him tight.

As you were about to get out, his dad pulled you by the hair and made you fell down. Andre fell too. Seeing him like that, you forgot your head hurts by hit, took him in your arms again with all your strength, you had to get him out of here no matter what.

Chucho has managed to punch him and knock him down, he came running to help you. He put Andre in the back seat and you sat next to him. Chucho started the engine.

‘Chucho, we need to go to the hospital right now,’ you said, Andre was mumbling but can’t open his eyes. You were scared to know why.

Chucho stopped the car in front of the emergency entrance, tires whining so loud.

The paramedics rushed Andre out, asked you a lot of questions and then called the police.

‘Your head, are you okay?’

‘Hm?’

Chucho touched your forehead with his finger, it covered with blood.

‘Come with me,’ he said, grabbing your wrist, heading inside but at that moment a police car came nowhere, two cops got out and rushed towards you.

Before you could understand why, they grabbed both of your arms behind your back.

‘Chucho F. Peña, and Y/N Botero Llano, you are under arrest for trespassing, kidnapping and wounding a child.’

‘What the fuck are you talking about, son?’ Chucho yelled at them. “You’re making a huge mistake!”

‘We rescued the boy from his cruel father, you need to arrest him, not us!’ You struggled, but they didn’t give a shit, they handcuffed you two and put you in the car.

----

Around the same time Javi arrived in Texas and was on his way home. He has missed you so much, all he could think about was holding you in his arms and touching you again.

But unfortunately he had no idea what was going on, so when he parked the car in the yard,  he was surprised to see that the lights weren't on. He looked at the clock on his wrist, it was only nine o'clock. He got worried when he found no one at home, surprised because he told Chucho two days ago that he is coming today.

He decided to get back in the car and drive into town. The stores were closed but the restaurants were still open, there was no sign of his father's car or the two of you.

But in a small town like this, word of mouth travels fast, so it was only a matter of time before he found out. He frowned when he saw a few people staring at him whispering.

He stopped by his father's favorite restaurant and asked his friend there if he has seen you two, the man told him everything.

His heart was racing as he hurried to the police station where he used to work as a deputy sheriff.

You were sitting on the floor in a temporary detention cell with two women, and one of them was asking you a lot of questions. You didn't know what her crime was, but she looked very scary face, probably a street prostitute. And unfortunately she seemed obsessed with you.

“If I was as beautiful as you, I'd make tons of money, rich as fuck,” she laughed so hard that you shuddered. The other woman, who you guessed was her friend or collogue, joined in her laughter.

Still, they were nothing compared to all the bad guys you've met, so you just ignored them.

“Honestly, what are you doing here, you don't look like a criminal.”

You preferred to keep silent and turned your head, but they didn't like it.

“Do you think she's latino?” other woman asked her friend as she grabbed your chin and examined your face. You felt nauseous not because you scared, she was smelling bad.

“Look at her face, so small and cheekbones, fuck, just like models, even I, as a woman, would like to kiss you.”

You were disgusted as she came closer to kiss you.

“Hey, get your hands off her, don't you fucking touch her!”

Your heart pounding with joy when you saw Javi. The woman snickered and stepped back.

“The handsome knight has arrives to save his lady,” they laughed again.

You ignored them, stood up and grabbed the bars.

“Are you all right?” he asked with massive concern.

You missed his voice so much.

“Yes, I am, how's Chucho?”

“He's fine, what happened to your head?” he put his hand through the bars and touched your head.

“Nothing serious, I guess.”

“You know you scared the shit out of me, what the fuck happened?”

“I'm sorry, it was my fault.”

He shook his head, “Chucho told me everything, the boy needs to come to his senses and tell cops what his father did and they will take his statement.”

“I hope he does,” you bowed your head, can’t anything but hope.

Javi put his other hand through the bars and took your face in his hands. His brown eyes look like molten chocolate.

“Look at me, I'm going to get you out of here, okay?”

You nodded, “Okay.”

“I want to kiss you so badly right now,” he murmured, his finger running over your soft lips, you blushed.

“Hey, get a room!”

You startled with their loud laughter, forgetting for a moment that they were behind you.

Javi gave them a menacing look.

“I'll be right back,” he walked out the door and closed it again, you felt abandoned when he left.

But as he said, he came back immediately, accompanied by the deputy sheriff. He opened the cell door and Javi grabbed you by the arm and pulled you out and hugged you quickly. It felt so good to hugged by him.

But the deputy opened the door to the next cell for you.

“Javi, man,” he warned.

Javi kissed the top of your head and stepped back.

“You'll be more comfortable here.”

“But,” for a moment you thought you are free.

“That's all I can do, man,” the deputy said with sad voice looking two of you.

“Thanks Frank,” Javi said without looking at him as he walked into the cell with you, kissed you on the cheek, stepped back out, you and Javi looked at each other helplessly as the deputy locked your cell.

“I'll give you two more minutes,” he said and left.

“I'll do whatever it takes to get you out, I promise,” his voice cracked.

“I know, Javi,” you said with half smile.

He stroked your cheek with his warm fingers one last time then deputy called him out and he has left.

----

During the 48 hours of detention, Javi really did everything he could.

First they released Chucho after 24 hours because Andre came to his senses and told them what his father has done to him, everything, and they prepared his statement and sent it to the court. So far so good, but it was difficult for them to release you because you were not a US citizen.

Chucho scolded Javi for not marrying you before coming here. So it would have been easier for you to become a citizen.

After long phone calls from Javi to the relevant authorities and diplomatic talks and visits, including from Steve, your sentence is commuted to a fine by court, wasn't more than you could afford though.

Javi felt like won a victory when he opened your cell, you’ll finally be released after 48 hours, he missed you so much. You were no different, 48 hours felt like 48 days, every second without him was a torture.

When you came out, you run towards him as he opens his arms for you, wrapping around you, burying his face in your hair, then held your face in his palms to touch your lips with his.

When he kissed you, you never wanted him to stop, you needed him, you needed his warm breath, his tongue tastes like honey-like and his strong arms around your waist, damn you missed those arms the most.

If you weren't still at the police station, you'd have him already, you needed him so badly. Luckily, Chucho stayed in town to accompany him while Andre placed in foster care. He wanted to take special care of him from now on, but the authorities couldn't just give him, provides temporary care until a more permanent solution can be found. He had to wait.

“Javi, I missed you so much,” you said as he drives, on your way to home, his free hand already rubbing your knee.

“Not as much as me, baby,” his eyes on you, then road, but mostly you.

He started driving faster, getting more and more impatient. You took his free hand, guiding it under your dress, then up to your chest, he felt your breasts beneath the fabric, lick his lips.

When you finally arrived the house he just parked the car, and rushed out.

He opened your door, he leaned his head towards you to met your eyes, you gazed at each other first then he kissed you on the lips.

You giggled when his mustache tickled your cheeks and he responds you by sniggering beneath your lips. The kiss deepened and you put your arms around his neck and he quickly pulled you out of the car and took you in his arms. You were unbuttoning his shirt as he carried you into the house without breaking the kiss.

You barely had time to look around before Javi slams you on the bed hard you nearly loosing your breath but you liked that much. He is on top of you immediately, pinning your wrists above your head as he kisses you roughly. You wrapped your legs around his waist, your skirt slipping down so that your bare skin and your womanhood is pressing against his jeans. You felt so excited and clumsy as if doing this for the first time.

As he pulled back, you felt the hardness of him beneath his pants. He freed your wrists so he can grab your hips and you can take his shirt off. Your hands on his muscular chest, your thin fingers running through, feeling every inch of his torso.

It was beautiful.

Then he grabbed the bottom of your dress, pulling it up over your head to leave you lying beneath him naked but panties and bra, and now it is his turn to stare at your body, his brown eyes were bright and greedy. He kissed you again, this time with more passion than before with more lust than before. You felt the wetness around your inner thighs and wanted to desperately clench them together. But you couldn’t, because Javi’s leg is already in between them.

Javi grinned at your expression, “What do you want me to do, baby, tell me?” he whispered in your ear as his long fingers quickly undid your bra and threw it who knows where. Now he slipped his fingers into the hem of your panties you felt them inside your walls covering with your wetness, and bit your lip hard.

“Tell me, hermosa,” he whispered again.

“I want you, Javi,” you moaned as his fingers goes deep. “Please.”

“Where?” his low voice and his hot breathe were driving you crazy.

“Inside me, please, now!”

He snickered and took off his pants, grabs your ass with both hands and moves his face beside yours to whisper in your ear.

“I’ll give you what you want baby.”

His voice sent electricity down your spine. You could probably cum from his words.

Without a word, spreading your legs for him. He bites his lower lip in a sweet way, and positioning himself, enters inside with little moan, and starts moving faster, you feel him so deep inside you but it wasn’t enough, you wrapped your legs around his waist, moaning as you pushed him deeper inside you with your heels.

You wanted him inside you up to your ribs. It wasn’t impossible but you just wanted him so badly.

He puts one hand under your ass to support you and, with the other, rubs your breasts, licking in process, it was driving you insane.

He realises this and smiles to himself as if he is proud of every feeling he caused. Seeing your slim body writhing with pleasure under his strong body is a priceless sight for him.

When your walls clinging to his every thrust, your body tingled as you feel the edge of orgasm approaching.

“Cum for me, baby,” he whispers into your ear, you could tell he’s on the edge.

You moan his name as your walls clench around his cock so hard he groans.

You came twice for him as your arms wrapped around his back and your nails dig into him.

“Fuck,” he groaned then laughed.

“Now your turn Javi, make me yours,” whispering into his ear.

With another groan he grabbed you by waist with his one arm and sat you on his lap to feel your walls tighter around his cock, grabbing your chin with the other hand, bites your bottom lip and sucks your chin as he came inside you, filling every inch up.

His moan music to your ears as he rides out remaining waves of orgasm. He eventually slows down and stops, breathing heavily, enjoying the moment between you, pressing his forehead to yours. He pulls out slowly, smirks while enjoying the sight of you, running his fingers through his hair trying to cool off, and you enjoyed seeing him with messy hair like that, even looks curly now.

He’s honestly so beautiful.

He leans on you closer to tuck your messy hair behind your ears. His warm brown eyes locked yours.

“Marry me,” his voice caresses your ears.

You raised your eyebrows. “Javi…” You wouldn’t except him to say that so sudden.

He bent down to find his trousers, grabbing and took out a black velvet ring box from the pocket, your heart started beating fast with excitement, as if it hadn't been beating fast enough from the orgasm you had earlier.

He opened the ring box and put it on the bed and slid it towards you. A ring that rests gracefully inside.

‘Marry me,’ he said again. ‘Will you marry me?’

‘Yes!’ your voice ringed like a bell.

He smiled and buried his head into you hair, you wrapped your arms around his neck, closed your eyes to savoring the moment.

Encanto Oc Appreciation week two! Relationships ✨️

@encanto-extended-edition

It's my beloved sunshine trio! I finally drew all of them together (took me long enough I know)

Some more of Armida's relationships summarized below the cut 💛

(I am so terribly bad at summaries Im so sorry- If I could write out the extent of all of their relationships I would- sadly I dont have the time..)

Alma: Her relationship with Alma pre movie is strained- mostly because she fears the older woman. Armida is riddled with anxiety and intrusive thoughts over what her mother in law may think of her, and often fears Alma thinks she got into the way of her daughter's relationship- or that she isn't a "real" madrigal. Basically.. it's a lot of assumptions on how Alma feels about her.. but they are not always truthful.

Armida also tends to disagree with Alma's ways. But between her being passive by nature and having a fear of speaking up, she never says anything. Rather she does her best to help by being there for other family members the best she can be.

Julieta: She was the first of the triplets that Armida became close to. Armida had visited her stand often, and at first Julieta thought the younger woman was accident prone like Agustín.. Over time it became clear that wasn't the case, but Armida was always super polite- despite lying about why she needed to be healed. She always made sure to thank Julieta - not just for healing her but for everything she does. After that it was surprisingly easy for the two of them to talk- and making friends with Julieta naturally got Armida talking to Bruno and Pepa. Although out of the triplets Armida is the least closest to Julieta now, she still feels incredibly safe with the woman. Armida is set trying to lessen Julietas work load. The only issue being- she really can't cook- all she can really do is help with preparation when needed. So instead she settles with going out to town when Julieta needs anything. It's not a lot, but it's something at the very least, and it's appreciated more than Armida will probably ever realize. 

Bruno: While obviously Armida is closest with Pepa and Félix, she also shares a really close bond with Bruno. The both of them being pretty bad insomniacs, they bonded a lot over sleepless nights- She'd tell him about the stars if the sky was clear enough and he'd talk about his rat telenovelas or sometimes about his gift- and she'd comfort him. She's a fan of his telenovelas- she loves the rats, and he's actually a really good writer. She offers to help make small costumes and even jokes about background music for suspense. All and all their relationship is very cute- I like to say they are like platonic soulmates. Obviously after Bruno disappears and comes back things aren't the same.. while he was in the walls some nights she'd sit and talk with his door instead, not knowing he was actually listening. Things are a bit awkward when he comes back- Armida having a lot of feelings about him "leaving" when he hurt his family so badly, but in the end she understands his motivation. 

Isabela: When Isabela was little, the girl loved getting her hands dirty. so naturally - Armida loved taking the girl out with her in her nature walks, because even at twenty seven she herself still loved to explore. It was something they bonded over, Dolores never really being as interested. But of course fell apart after Isa was pressured into being the golden child. Now they aren't nearly as close, but the both of them still remember digging for worms near Casita, or going looking for different types of plants in the jungle. Sometimes Isa still takes walks- taking the same paths they used to when she was little- when she knows no one is looking for her. It helps clear her head. Of course after the movie the two begin to grow close once more, Isa being quite excited to show off all the new plants to her supportive tía.

Dolores: I think the majority of the fandom has agreed that Dolores is a daddy's girl- and I completely agree. However she of course loves each of her parents. Mida specifically doted a lot on her when she was younger- having been their first child. She'd often sing to her- writing her own little songs for her daughter. After Dolores got her gift it was a nice thing for the young girl to focus on- her mother singing. Unfortunately getting her gift, like with many of the madrigals, forced Dolores to grow up too soon. She's often a bit protective over her mother, due to things she's heard over time. Armida mostly dislikes the fact that Dolores feels the need to protect her- as she should be the one protecting her.

Little bonus- Armida despises Mariano at first. She disliked him when he was with Isa, not because she knew Isa didn't actually want to marry him (though she has suspected maybe something was up, if she had known that straight up I don't imagine she'd be able to keep quiet about it.) She's- in general- overprotective when it comes to any of the kids dating. She does, however, come around to him. 

Luisa: With Luisa there isn't too much to say. Like Pepa and Félix, Armida treats each of Julieta's girls like her own kids,and Luisa is no exception. She used to read or sing to her each night as a kid, as she did with all of them. Each grandkid grew up with at least one song or story before bed, and sometimes even as adults or teenagers they still request it. But as with most of the kids, as Luisa grew up she stopped having time for things like that. Still Armida is always ready to sing or read to her once again- no matter how old she is.

Camilo: Camilo and Armida have very similar senses of humor at times, which means they make for quite the pair. The two of them sometimes pull little pranks around the house, nothing too much of course- after all she's still his mother and won't let him get away with everything, but he still gets away with more with her then he does with Félix or Pepa. Though being fifteen he doesn't spend as much time with his mom as he did at one point in his life- he still won't deny he loves her very much.

Mirabel: Pre movie, Armida would try her best to make Mirabel feel just as special as the rest of the family, but being busy and slightly stressed she could only do so much for the girl. Still, she did what she could when she could. She started to teach Mirabel embroidery after her failed gift ceremony to try to distract the little girl and make her feel better, she didn't expect her to pick up on it- but she's very proud of how far she's come. She's quite proud of the young woman in general.

Antonio: the baby of the family, he is absolutely Armida’s weakness. She has the hardest time saying no to him, much like others in the family. The fact that he looks so much like Félix really does not help- luckily Pepa and Félix are a bit better with saying no to him. She worried a lot about him, and his gift. Part of her had hoped that maybe he wouldn't get a gift, since she's seen how sometimes the gifts the family have can really feel more like curses, and he's only five- but luckily he gets a gift he really enjoys, one that she herself had wished for a lot as a child, one that doesn't seem like it will put immense amount of pressure on her baby boy. She enjoys learning what some of his animal friends are thinking, and reading them all to bed. (Sometimes she spoils some of his animals.. she can't help it)

plot: it's neymar's birthday and he introduces kylian mbappé to one of his friends.

enséñame | kylian mbappé

"kyky! that's y/n!" neymar spoke sounding a little more groggy than usual due to drinking

"nice to meet you..." she said reluctantly, a little more shy as she started a clumsy hug and placed a kiss on each of the brunette's cheeks

kylian liked feeling in control, feeling like he caused some kind of shyness, not realizing that he was motionless after the hug, completely still. the girl smelled like some floral perfume, which normally isn't one of his favorites, but somehow it calmed him down.

"cat got your tongue, kyky?" neymar said laughing too loud that was when kylian realized that he was standing still and silently watching the girl. the suit felt a thousand times tighter and warmer now.

"i'm kylian. kylian mbappé" he said it as if he were a soldier reporting to his superior she lets out a weak laugh, still looking into his eyes.

kylian mbappe was one of the most confident men she had ever heard of, according to ney. but now he looked cute. in the back of the party marquinhos called neymar for a photo, shouting loudly and laughing with other friends from brazil.

"do you speak french?" kylian said in broken english

"i can say a few words...i think i can at least order coffee if you drop me off on some street in paris" she says with a joking tone. "we can speak spanish if it's more comfortable than english" silent, as if he was studying the option. neymar had certainly already mentioned that he did know how to speak spanish, in fact very well by the way.

"i can talk a little, you know?" he said putting his hand behind his head

"ney told me you were fluent, kyky!" she said as she settled into the nearest small table. the nickname.

"i'm doubting a lot of things right now, s/h. especially if i'm really a social person, i swear i'm more talkative than that."

"you're not feeling comfortable, is that it?" she said a little more apprehensively as she arranged the small bottle of water on the table

"actually, i am. i'm feeling fine, i just don't want to talk nonsense! you know how it is, right? when a man sees a beautiful woman, sometimes he ends up talking more than he should..."

"and now you're flirting? i understand you, kyky. i'm also doing everything not to say what i shouldn't, you know how it is, right? a woman when she sees a handsome man..."

they both let out a chuckle.

for some strange reason, but not so strange, since it was neymar's birthday, enséñame started playing.

es dolor el saber que lo nuestro se puede terminar

porque, simple y sencillamente, nunca he sabido actuar

"i love this song! this is literally my childhood!" she said with the biggest smile of all night. she got up, straightening the hem of her dress, straightening some of the dark hair that was falling in her face, placed the small bag on the table.

"señor, ¿bailarías conmigo?" (sir, would you dance with me?) she said with one hand behind her body and the other outstretched.

"sí. mi señora, con mucho gusto!" (yes, my lady, with pleasure) he said with the biggest smile of the night, the biggest smile in days actually.

My version of the Tainted Miracle Au

Isabela, she started out as the tomboy of the family, loved playing in mud, pulling flowers out from the root to give to her mama, reading about all kinds of plants, etc.

Alma, however, wanted the girl to be more girly so when she became four, she started teaching the girl how to do more feminine things. The miracle didn't know that was going to be a problem but knew what her gift was going to be and blessed with the gift of creating beautiful plants of all kinds.

By the time Mirabel came along she was turning into a perfect feminine version of the tomboy she used to be. But being only eleven, she still tried to hold her childish nature and play with her younger sisters and primos.

But whenever she got too rough or messy, she gets scolded.

"Isabela! You got your dress dirty, the seamstress didn't custom tailor it for you to treat it like that."

After Mirabel got her gift, which was crystal, glass, and diamond creation. She was forced into the perfection role with Isabela being tasked to teach Mirabel what she knows.

At eight Mirabel noticed Camilo, Luisa, and Dolores didn't nearly get as much praise as She and Isabela did. so, she started helping them. She started making cute accessories and dresses (or at least attempted it) for Luisa to wear around town. Same for Camilo and Dolores.

She taught her primos and hermana how to walk agile, how to sit straight, and keep a smile. Dolores wasn't really all for it but tried her best. People would often ask for certain types of jewelry or just about anything made of glass or crystal. So, she would have Camilo, Dolores, and Luisa help her mail them around town if they would be in the area.

Camilo would model as Mirabel's manniquin when it came to Mirabel making clothes for the family. Alma saw this and in turn, gave him praise for helping her "Chica Diamante Perfecta"

They would also help Isabela with mailing certain flowers to certain homes or just give them to people when Isabela handed them the flowers to pass out.

They all would get praise for helping Mirabel and Isabela out…but this took a turn. It was expectant for them to be pretty and helpful just like Mirabel and Isabela.

Camilo could no longer slouch over or do boyish things. He was now supposed to help Mira, be a perfect babysitter (in other words mother), respectful, clean, and eat a normal portion of food.

Luisa was now supposed to handle herself with grace when doing chores in town. No running, no dirtying clothes that Mirabel made for you, head up, back straight, swift movements.

Dolores was now actually forced to socialize and "not be seen as rude" because she used to stay in her room too much. Earmuffs (that look like stylish earpieces) are mandatory for her if she has to socialize, luckily Mirabel made her some cute earmuffs for her to wear.

Overtime Isabela wasn't liking the attention being taken away from her and became distant. In her mind, they were all taking away her chance at becoming a Matriarch and making abuela proud.

Oh! New idea! Alma constantly holds the "you might become the future candle holder if you keep this up" trophy over them.

The other grandkids picked up hobbies to appease Alma. Camilo: Baking, sewing, and painting. Dolores: Writing, crafting, and ballet. Luisa: kindergarten volunteer, candle making, and knitting.

"H- Here you go Abuela, strawberry buñuelo's just how you like them" Camilo handed Alma the cookies. In return he got a thank you but he still couldn't help but doubt. Was it enough? should I make more? I hope they were decorated good enough…please be proud

When Antonio is born and grows up, he's still the same shy kid. But Alma, having five other perfect grandchildren, is teaching him how to be just like them after his ceremony.

Antonio (let's say two years after his ceremony), is started to mimic his siblings and primas behavior.

"I have to be mature, sit up straight, don't get dirty, help the town, be polite, become the future matriarch and make abuela proud"

Everything was fine, until Isabela's wedding day. just before she walks down the aisle, her whole life of suffering flashes before her eyes…and she snaps at the realization that her life wasn't her own.

she ran all the way from the church and to Casita. goes for the candle to snuff it out and fails, ending up getting shocked and scarred by it.

She figured she had enough time to write a letter to her primas and hermanas on what happened. Writing everything she could as fast as she could and left it in Mirabel's room marked as "Hermana's and primo's eyes only."

"To mi hermanas and primos, I'm so sorry I've been so distant with you and mean to you. Alma just molded me into something she wanted me to be since my ceremony day. She told me that if I stayed strong, independent, and perfect that I'll one day be a matriarch…like she told all of you. She stole my youth, stole yours, and is going to steal Antonio's youth if we let her…get the candle. It gave me scars but maybe, if you bide your time and plan correctly, you'll get the candle without it hurting you and maybe she'll listen to you. if not…destroy it, it's obviously the only thing she cares about if she doesn't want to hear your pain"

One after one, they all tried to reason with her...and ended up scarred and in a donkey barn...plotting the demise of the remaining madrigal adults, especially Alma's.

[doloresdisparue]

Wanted to take a scroll thru ur blog after u reblogged one of my posts hope u don't mind ^_^!!! I saw u rlly like book accurate art of Dolores and I sketched this up the other day so I thought I'd show you

I swear I remember her eyes being described as blue early on in the book but then saw them being called grey so idk if I'm misremembering or if they're supposed to be blue-grey so oops

OMG THIS IS SO CUTE! Thank you so much for sharing it! I hope it's okay to share (let me know if not). The real Dolly of Nabokovs novel is such a compelling character and such a fierce little girl and I want to spread as much love for her as possible and boost others who feel the same way. 💚

Also her eyes are definitely grey, Humbert references it a LOT

(and fuck him for calling them vacant like yeah she was probably dissociating from all the abuse you FREAK)

[empty-cryptid]

So I found some mugs and thought they fit the Madrigals so now you get to look at my long post full of madrimugs.

Alma's mug. This is something she would say, I think.

Julieta would appreciate a cooking pun or two. She seems the type to enjoy a bit of fun teasing.

Agustín was gifted this as a joke and he ended up loving it. (Or maybe he's hoping the message gets across to the bees)

Pepa loves her coffee and I always thought she wasn't a morning person. I think she would like the concept of brunch.

Félix is such a positive presence, he has definitely said this a few times. He is the embodiment of this phrase.

Bruno. I bet he has a bit of sarcastic snark in the mornings. Especially towards his sisters and brothers-in-law. His dark circles make me think coffee is pretty important to him.

Isabela, after the movie. She strikes me as someone that would hold "girl's nights" (Camilo or Bruno usually end up there somehow too) where hair dye and other fun experiments and makeovers happen.

Dolores. This one makes me think of a quiet sitting area outside in the sun. I bet she has a place like that she goes to for a break.

Luisa gives perfect hugs and loves to recieve hugs. She's affectionate and sensitive. I thought she would like this one.

Camilo. Félix probably gave him this as a joke and he embraced it immediately. (He appreciates the pun too!)

Mirabel. This cute bike is very much her style. The message is too. She would like the idea of reminding others to follow their dreams as she enjoys her drink.

Antonio saw this and immediately fell in love with it because it has Parce on it. When Pepa helped him read it, he liked the message too. Of course Pepa got it for him, and now it's his favorite mug.

Mariano gets this one. It's the last one I have, but I think he would be very affectionate and enjoy cuddling up to Dolores. He would probably like this one, especially if Dolores got it for him. Also it's a picture of a mug on a mug and that's just ridiculous and funny to me.

I hope these brewtiful mugs cupture their personaliteas well enough. I had a latte fun putting this together and hope it perked you up a bit today.

☕️ 🫖 🍵

[apirateslifeforbudgie]

I'm having a bit of a rough time lately...Can't really focus on any writing or one single piece of art for too long - I just keep jumping all around and it is exhausting. So...I just decided to talk about my main character since I'm feeling more comfortable with sharing things about her. And be warned, this will be all over the place as well.

Here is her SBS trivia:

And below the cut are lots and lots and lots (and I mean, a lot) of details of development, fun facts, and further info on my girl.

🌙 Carmen is incredibly morally grey - I place her very firmly as a chaotic neutral.

🌙 Some cute, lighter things before I get in too deep with her character: As a child, she was very much a daddy's girl. She loves to make things; especially jams, wines (jet fuel, save for a lavender wine that is surprisingly pleasant), suncatchers, jewelry, and the occasional tambourine. She can read the stars. She really likes sweets - her favorite flavors being caramel, honey, and cherry. And she really loves peaches - her Devil Fruit was once a peach. As mentioned above, typically in a real-world setting, her mother is from Japan, so Japanese is usually a second language for her, but it hasn't come in One Piece. But she also really loves miso soup, especially when it reminds her of her mother's cooking. Her mother brushing her hair is a very fond memory for her, and she grew it out for her mother - playing with hair is a major sign of affection for her. She really likes the ocean and she misses swimming.

Anyway...

🌙 She won't hesitate to become violent - there's confidence in her abilities that can even overflow to arrogance at times. In fact, Carmen was so similar to Kid, I had to tone some things down. For example, in Gundam, she had the short choppy hair (which she gets at some point in every insert, but more on that later) and she always wore goggles either on her head or around her neck. She was a mobile suit pilot and she loved working on her machinery, so I took the tinkering and mechanic aspect away from her. Although...I do still have an old mechanic pin-up drawing I did a few years back...

🌙 Carmen still thinks robots are cool, though! Didn't take that away from her. She also likes dinosaurs, dragons, comics. Since the only one I'm aware of in One Piece is Sora Warrior the Sea, she's an avid Sora fan and goes straight to the strip whenever the paper drops. She also really likes anything considered scary and strange. She likes to catch spiders, lizards, insects. As mentioned above, she has a fascination with Thriller Bark. Her favorite holiday is Halloween - she loves all things Halloween. In the real world, the Monster Mash is one of her favorite songs.

🌙 Also...in a real-world setting, she fucking loves ALF??? (She's watching ALF all the time in Gundam)

🌙 Beyond her interests and sense of humor, she herself is also incredibly...weird? Strange? Off-putting maybe? Franky will describe her as sketchy earlier on (Wandering Star, episode 5), even as she warms up to everyone, I'm not sure that opinion really goes away.

🌙 Very much a trickster - it's her base for how she functions even later in work and play. If you've read any of Wandering Star, you know she absolutely cannot be trusted - not unless you truly get to know her, at least. But before that, she knows how to read people due to her job and absolutely will use it to her advantage.

🌙 She has ridiculous willpower when it comes to reaching her goals. Originally, she wasn't going to have Conqueror's Haki, but after reading more about it, I realized it would be absolutely fitting for her.

🌙 I kept with my other rules though. No Future Sight, she can't hear the Voice of All Things, and she is not a "D". Her middle name for well over a decade has been Dolores, so I removed it entirely for that purpose. While she is good with Haki because of her upbringing in a powerful kingdom with a Haki-based military and her family being personal friends with the Captain of the Guard who would train her from a young age, she is far less reliant on it now. However, she does often pair observation Haki with her powers, and has pretty much ceased use of armament. Her whole thing is just "don't get hit", which usually works out for her with her speed and precision - but is absolutely not always the case.

🌙 She doesn't like to use shields or wear helmets, even in battle. That was a big thing that came up often in her insertions for Berserk and Gundam. With armor, she just likes to keep everything light.

🌙 She doesn't like to wear shoes. That's just always been a thing with her. She will compromise with some black flats or comfy sneakers though.

🌙 I've noticed she's always incredibly nomadic. In AOT, it was the Survey Corps. In Berserk, she was a mercenary. In Gundam, she was Airborne. She holds rank across the board, too.

🌙 On that note, I'll say she feels very much like a natural-born leader. While she can be crude and cold (often) she still always very much cares for her men, and they give love and loyalty in return. In One Piece, you'll see what she was willing to give just to be sure her men had adequate training (for victory and survival), food, clothing, and shelter. Her and her men are always like a family, that's across the board. They like to sing a lot, especially around their campfires.

🌙 Singing and dancing is something that has carried over for her since I was a child. As much as I hate it, it is a major part of her as a character and has been from the start. In One Piece especially, after certain events you'll see she'll use singing to kinda self-soothe (also I've noticed when she sings, unless she's performing, it's always sad songs or love songs???), and dancing is very freeing for her. In stories across the board, she's always working at a club of some kind that leads into the main story. For Berserk, it was pretty much the same as One Piece when the Band of the Hawk came through. In Gundam, she was working in a far sleezier little place, stole a cop car to attempt to drift it to try to impress a guy and got arrested - with current world events, they gave her the option of prison or military. She chose military and went on to become a Major, and yes, at least one war crime was committed on her part. To further illustrate her brand of violence even from back then, there was one scene after she had just lost one of her men where she stepped on ground soldiers with her mobile suit, smearing a few of them.

🌙 The pilot thing always carries over in some way shape or form. If it's not a mobile suit or an aircraft, it will be a black Jeep or a black horse. In One Piece, she will come to find she adores sailing ships.

🌙 Another really big thing that will always carry over across the board is at some point, she will lose her hair. In Berserk, she willingly cuts it off out of grief. In Gundam, her hair is already short for the main story, and you get the event in a backstory OVA. For One Piece, I know exactly when it happens. Which, across the board, it is devastating because of how special hair seems to be for her.

🌙 Also for appearance, her weight can tend to slightly fluctuate as well. In the main story for Gundam, her stomach has a bit of softness. During WS, she's very toned, bathes often. Post-WS she's still fit, but her stomach is softer, she doesn't bathe as often (maybe every 3 days). Some TMI, she's not a dancer anymore, so she doesn't have to keep everything clean-shaven down there, and she doesn't. In WS, her scent was like a sweet spicey vanilla amber on her skin and flowery/fruity for her hair. After WS, she just smells like sea salt and her captain. Even though she has a pretty bad scar between her shoulder blades (that's new for her) she will probably get the moon phase tattoo down her back that she had in Gundam.

🌙 Aside from appearance, there are plenty of core story elements that have always and forever carried over and translated to the worlds, but I think that's all I'm willing to give for now while I'm actually posting Wandering Star.

🌙 For some more character development info: If you've been following me, you've probably seen me mention a handful of times I've had Carmen since kindergarten. My first memory of her is on the playground and she was a VeggieTales OC at the time (can you believe???) But her first full, actual insertion was Sonic the Hedgehog when I was in second grade. Fun fact: her eyes are still purple to this day because of her Sonic insert.

🌙 On that note, while she's gone through many changes and developments over the past couple of decades, you will see plenty other artifacts still shining through from her inspos. Esmeralda from Hunchback of Notre Dame was one to the point where it permanently affected part of her style (fully, depending on the world. But I love her One Piece insert because it somehow let her two distinct styles come together and kinda fuse).

🌙 If you've read episode 2 of Wandering Star, her meeting everyone was based off Esmeralda's dance, and even her family house words "Let Justice Be Done" spill over from that character. And those house words have been used in multiple inserts. Though I will say, over the years I've noticed she's developed her own darker sense of justice. Oh, also the Thane family crest carried over from Berserk (it's just Skull Knight's sigil - don't tell anyone).

🌙 Another huge impact for developing her to who she is today was Lara Croft (I was just...so into Lara Croft as a child...all the Tomb Raider games...man) - that whole 'tough girl' thing has stuck, but more importantly, it was the beginning of her dual wielding that was solidified with her Attack on Titan insert. Between the two, I've had her current fighting style for a while and was delighted when I saw how similar it was to Killer's own fighting style. Fun fact: when I make her in video games, I play as her - go for the choices she would make, the armor she would wear, the weapons she would use. In my thousand plus hours of Monster Hunter World/Iceborne and Rise/Sunbreak, I have only touched dual blades for serious gameplay.

�� Beyond dual-wielding, duality is a major character element of her I have picked up on over the years - how she's incredibly cold-blooded and brutal with enemies, but how she has such a sweet and devoted loyalty and a gentle heart for those she loves. I noticed duality even manifested itself with her power use in the world of One Piece, even as far as the attack names themselves in the form of a big scary word and a really pretty word (i.e. Eschaton Aurora). That's how it goes for all of her attacks, except one that isn't an attack - it's the softer, loving side of her power use and it's called Honeymoon, though it's never really said. So, there ya go.

🌙 Even further, she always has twins - Rae and Ciri (Raemond and Cirilla). BUT! Interestingly enough, if (and that's a really big IF) she reproduces in the world of One Piece, it'll just be a boy instead of the twins that's she's been having for over two decades. Which...i can't figure out why...But! I do have a name chosen for him! However, I came into this planning to kill her off before she reproduces - it was a rule when I gave in to her insertion. Think I'll just let things play out like I always do.

Anyway...that's enough for now. If you made it this far...wow. All I can say is I hope you like her! I realize she won't be for everyone, but that's okay! Her and her stories keep me going.

pov: you’re dolores madrigal and you’ve been emailing someone for a while, and you really like him, but you also really vibe with your long-time gaming buddy and you have a little routine with him every morning 

a dolores madrigal playlist, with a juno focus

@haveyoumet-dolores @moon-yeongjun

[listen here]

Tracklist! This one has a bit of a chronological order to it

The Way I Am - Ingrid Michealson

If you are chilly, here take my sweater. If your head is aching, I'll make it better. 'Cause I love the way you call me "baby". And you take me the way I am.

I knew this song would immediately be on my Lo playlist, because it’s all about trying to find someone who will take you the way you are, with all your little weird quirks! 

Pleasant Memory (Penny)

I know Jun’s Stardew Valley dream girl is Abigail, but Lo has a lot of Penny vibes (quiet, teacher, etc). And this gentle song fits her!

Would You Be So Kind? — Dodie

Oh, would you be so kind As to fall in love with me? You see, I'm trying I know you know that I like you But that's not enough So if you will Please fall in love

This just feels very Lo, especially when she was single and looking for someone to fall in love with!!

Anyone At All - Carole King

You could have been anyone at all An old friend falling out of the blue I'm so glad it was you

This is the song from You’ve Got Mail that I blasted all throughout that event, and I think that revelation that your secret email buddy is ALSO your good friend and then that comforting feeling you feel right after, where of course, it was them and everything just makes sense….. Effervescent. 

Top of the World - The Carpenters

There is only one wish on my mind When this day is through I hope that I will find That tomorrow will be, just the same for you and me All I need will be mine if you are here

I love this song so much, I think it’s just very emblematic of finding someone you click with! It doesn’t necessarily have to be a lover, because it’s just about someone who you love to spend time with and who you’re so connected with, and I just think it’s perfect for Juno since we’ve been seeing them connect for MONTHS. 

All About Us — Owl City, He is We

And every heart in the room will melt This is a feeling I've never felt but It's all about us

The “feeling I’ve never felt” got me here. It makes sense for both of them! I just think it's very sweet.

All About Your Heart — Mindy Gledhill

You are brighter than the stars Believe me when I say It's not about your scars It's all about your heart

This is one where most of the lyrics don’t fit exactly but the line “it’s all about your heart” just felt SO Dolores to me. When I was working on this, I just kept hearing "It's all about your heart" and I knew I needed to add it

Anyone Else But You - The Moldy Peaches

You're a part-time lover and a full time friend The monkey on your back is the latest trend I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else But you

This is the ultimate friends-to-lovers little song I think it’s so cute! AND bonus point that I did not realize till I am writing this description………… it is FROM the movie Juno

Lucky - Jason Mraz, Colbie Calliat 

They don't know how long it takes Waiting for a love like this Every time we say goodbye I wish we had one more kiss I'll wait for you, I promise you, I will

Listen. So many of these songs could be on my own 2010 romantic playlist. Very Twee. Very Dolores IMO. The other ultimate friends to lovers song. Yes, it’s a Glee duet, but for a GOOD REASON this song is so sweet okay. 

1, 2, 3, 4 - The Plain White T’s

It's easy as 1-2-1-2-3-4 There's only ONE thing (one) TWO do (two) THREE words (three) FOUR you... (four) (I love you) I love you

Another song from a playlist I definitely had in 2010!!!!!!!!! Bet you didn’t think you’d see the Plain White Ts ini the year 2024, but here we are. I once drew fanart of this song with some OCs. It was a cute pose so maybe one day I’ll draw Juno with it.

Encanto Christmas headcanons!

Hey everyone! Wow, what a year, huh? Yes, even the obvious bots that just follow for the sake of it, this is for you too! Okay, first up, I want to wish y'all a merry crisis, whatever you're doing or not doing this time of year! This year, I am in my parent's caravan celebrating with them and going to the races tomorrow which should be fun.

And seeing how it's the season of giving, I am giving you more Encanto Christmas headcanons! Last year's still remain, especially with Camilo and the church (there's a reason the priest loses his hair and it ain't Bruno!) but I wanted to write and share some more and write and share some more, I shall! Now, you may notice a name that is definitely known amongst the Encanto tumblr fandom, that being the lovely Elena who is owned by @prophetic-hijinks and has been my hyperfixation for the past week. Elena is the wife of Bruno and easily one of my favourite ocs. Having worked as a singer in a bar for years, she's heard it all and can throw back just as much as she's given, but she has such a soft and gentle side from her childhood and it is her dream to become a mama. She's a total firecracker in the best way and compliments Bruno beautifully.

So, I wish you all a pleasant holidays, be merry and bright and please be careful!

Lots of love,

Charlotte x

Alma announces that the town is to have a special visitor for Christmas. Mariano deadass asks if it's Santa as 'special visitor' and 'Christmas'. It's Father Francisco from a neighbouring church. This is based on something that happened last week to my twin sister. It was announced at her work that there'll be an important visitor and as its Christmas, she thought 'oh, Santa!'...it was safeguarding.

It is on Christmas day that Pepa finds out she's pregnant with Dolores and Julieta announces she's expecting Isabela. Congratulations all around the table but the ladies later have a laugh at the coincidence.

Dolores is desperate for a baby brother or sister. To the point that when she is three, that's all she has on her list and steals the baby Jesus at the nativity that year and refuses to give him back. Neither Pepa nor Félix imagined they'd have to put 'negotiating with a three year old over a baby that's not even theirs' on their parenting resume, yet here they were.

When Camilo is five and his first Christmas with his gift, he turns into Santa and convinces the kids of the Encanto to give him their presents. If it wasn't for Alma and Pepa interfering, then the likelihood of Camilo being the leader of a tiny cult of kids was rather high.

Julieta and Agustín find out the hard way that Agustín is allergic to mistletoe.

Speaking of mistletoe, Elena gets some from Isabela and with help from Casita, she hangs it on the doorway of Bruno's room. It takes him a few minutes for him to notice and then a few more to comprehend the meaning.

Elena pursed her lips up to the plant with the pearlescent berries that was hanging delicately above the doorway. She gazed at Bruno through hooded eyes, hoping he'd get the hint. "Huh, mistletoe." "Mmhmm." He frowned for a moment. "Um, pretty?" Elena mentally facepalmed. He is so lucky he's cute.

Favourite Christmas songs

Bruno - Santa, Baby *clutches his vinyl record of Elena's version tightly* "It's a nice song, is all," he squeaks, trying desperately hide his boner with his ruana.

Elena - Santa, Baby "I may have a few tricks up my sleeve for mi pájaro carpintero," she purrs with a wink when asked. Cue Bruno with a nosebleed not too dissimilar to anime.

Mirabel - Step Into Christmas - "How can anyone hate this song? STEP INTO CHRISTMAS, LET'S JOIN TOGETHER, WE CAN WATCH THE SNOW FALL FOREVER AND EVER!"

Luisa - Lonely Pup in a Christmas Shop *in between sobs* "The...the puppy! It needs a home!" Augustín proceeds to comfort her and reassure her that the puppy is fine and it does find a loving home at the last minute.

Isabela - Grandma Got Runover By a Reindeer "Hey, a girl can dream, can't she?"

Alma - Do They Know It's Christmas time? "It's about helping others with what we are blessed with!"

Julieta - Christmas Wrapping "MOOD."

Agustín - Mary's Boy Child Hums to it whilst prepping dinner, with Casita making sure he doesn't injure himself. Casita swears that that man will be the death of it one day.

Pepa - Christmas time (Don't let the bells end) "It helps release my emotions!" she shouts over the music as it blasts out of the speaker. Dolores tends to avoid these times.

Félix - Feliz Navidad "I wanna wish you a merry Christmas from the bottom of my heeeeeeeeart!!!!"

Dolores - All I want for Christmas "All I want for Christmas is mi amor. And some earmuffs. Oop!"

Mariano - Last Christmas "It's the perfect love story! Drama, betrayal, heart, its beautiful! Just like Dolores." Blows a kiss to Dolores and she giggles. Camilo and Antonio gag at this.

Camilo - Fairytale of New York "Where else would I be able to call someone a gusano?"

Antonio - Hippopotamus for Christmas "I love any song with animals!"

"La Promesa", ep. 1

I did end up starting this Spanish show/soap my mother is now binge-watching. 1 (1h+ long) episode down... 240 to go until it ends (I think??) in December ñalsdkfjasf.

I called it "Spanish Downton Abbey" and it's more or less accurate LOL. Think Downton if the father and head of the failing state was a bigger idiot than Robert; Cora died after two children and he then married The Evol Stepmother from Hell And Second Worst Person in The World* to have two more with her; and the character in Mary's position was a mix between her and Sybil personality-wise, and had a twin brother. There are two other children: a middle boy, Manuel, The Silly Second Son Turned Heir Who Really Only Wants to Build and Fly Aeroplanes (AND is the show's Helpless Love Interest), and the charmingg and spoiled younger girl, Leonor.

BUT. None of them is the protagonist. That title belongs to Jana, a girl who's infiltrated the manor as a maid to uncover the truth of her mother's murder & her baby brother's abduction. She's headstrong and probably too impulsive to lead such a task with the cunning and grace it requires LOL, but I'm rooting for her!! I like her. And I have to, with this face *-*

Predictably, I liked the main antagonist, the Marquise, a lot too LMAO. Spanish TV is good at making me hate the villains (they are teeeeeeerrible people) and making me look forward to their demise, but I have certain Types, and in her case I might have mixed feelings! I particularly enjoyed that she is so hostile to and mistrustful of Jana from the start; she shows good mercenary instincts if nothing else.

There's also loooooots more murder than in Downton Abbey just to start with lol. The episode opens with Jana (then called Mariana) and her mother Dolores running through the state, chased by some masked men in horses that wanted Jana's baby brother**. They kill her mother and get the baby, and Jana barely gets to escape by jumping into a river, with the men assuming she's dead. And then the episode ends with the lady of the house, the Marquise Cruz Esquerdo, murdering her stepson when he accuses her ("them") of killing Dolores, and everyone in the house discovering the body the next morning.

The episode itself revolves around the older brother's (Tomás) wedding to a rich, hapless heiress in order to save the state (he's also in an illicit relationship with one of the maids). He's the one who dies and… I'm a bit torn about it LOL. Mainly because he and Cruz had a GLORIOUSLY hostile dynamic I would have loved seeing for longer maybe with hatesex included idk. the chemistry was there. But alas! It needed to happen xD

(this is after she stabs Tomás so. in a way, they DID have hatesex!)

As for other things in the episode: Jana and Manuel have a brief meet-cute when he sees her conning her way into the service and finds it SO charming he just MUST ask her out ñalsdkjfaf (she's briefly under the impression he's in service as well, since he was working on the aeroplane. She still says no because she's in Mission Mode. Keep that energy, girl!). By the end of the episode she's saved his life*** when he has an aeroplane accident and he's Fully In Love. I'm tentatively into them?? Incredible.

Another thing I liked from the episode was that the service characters are clearly going to be more involved in Plot and Intrigue and DRAMA TM than in DA. The butler obviously Suspects Something regarding Jana and is already far more interesting than Carson, the marquise's personal maid is a heinous shit-stirrer of the first order (O'Brien is NOT on her level)... I'm looking forward to getting to know them the most.

Anyway. I don't know when I'll have the time to continue but so far, I'm into it. For sure, some of the acting was over the top and some of the dialogue was heavy-handed as fuck (there was a conversation between the eldest daughter, Catalina, and her father, with the typical "you need to move with the times to keep the house! I'm good at this, I should be the heir!" "no because you're A WOMAN and you need to FIND A HUSBAND and OBEY HIM IN EVERYTHING" shit that was... yikes. and I hate the father btw. I know we're meant to see him with more benevolence than the likes of Cruz and her father but I don't like him one bit lol).

BUT I'm looking forward to seeing more of the characters, and especially, to seeing grandpa get his comeuppance <3

*the Marquise's father, Chief Rapist and Literal Former Slave Trader, wouldn't let her usurp him like that!

**we don't know why this happened but given the marquise's father is said to have been raping the housekeeper for who knows how long, and that I know she's pregnant in a later episode... my suspicions are running that way, at the moment. I also wouldn't rule out him & his daughter killing the lord's first wife t b h.

***Jana uses this to leverage her way into a permanent job AND it doesn't soften Cruz towards her even a little bit, when it's clear Manuel is the apple of her eye. This is why they're my faves so far xD

"Be My Baby" incorrect quotes bc I was a GCSE Drama student and this play was so good

*Dolores falls over* Matron: Dolores! Are you alright? Dolores: Is that you, God? Matron: What? Dolores: It's just, you sound a lot more like Matron than I expected.

!!!

Queenie: Do you want to play 20 Questions? Mary: Sure! Mary: Whats your favorite color? Queenie, laser fucking focused: Triangle. Do you like women?

!!!!

Norma: When I see initials carved into a tree with a heart I think it’s so romantic. Two lovers on a date... one of them carrying a knife for some reason.

!!!

Mary, staring upwards: So, Queenie broke up with me… haha… Norma: Why are you looking up? Mary: I need to cry, but my foundation was 48 dollars!

!!!

Norma: Alright, what pizza toppings should we order? Mary: Anchovies and pineapple. Dolores: I like beets! Queenie: Have you guys ever had a cheese-less pizza? Norma: I’m disowning all of you.

!!!

Queenie: Bad news—Dolores locked herself outside of her own house. Queenie: Good news—we didn’t have to wait around for a locksmith. Queenie: Bad news—Mary finds it very concerning that I know how to pick locks, and tried to unlock my Tragic Backstory(TM). I was too embarrassed to admit that the reason I learned it was because, at thirteen, I figured that was the kind of skill that would impress cute people. Queenie: Good news—a cute girl saw me do it. Queenie: Bad news—it was Norma, and since she's already seen me fall out of several trees, cry because I saw a fawn that was just too damn small, and knows I can ride a unicycle, she'll never think I’m cool no matter what I do. It’s too late. She knows.

!!!

Mary: It’s Christmas! Are you all in a Christmas mood?! Norma: Merry crisis. Dolores: Jingle bells, jingle bells, single all the way. Queenie: Hoe hoe hoe. Mary: Guys, please.

!!!

Dolores: Oooh, a train! Queenie: We’re in a train station, Dolores.

!!!

Dolores: Dude, we can get mythical animals! Maybe I’ll get a penguin! Norma: Penguins are real. Dolores: That’s the spirit, Norma! They’re real to me too!

!!!

Norma: Would I rather be feared or loved? Easy. Both. I want people to fear how much they love me.

!!!

Queenie: I’ll be famous one day, but for now I’m stuck in this house with a bunch of morons.

!!!

Mary: If we were in prison you guys would be like my bitches.

!!!

Dolores: What is the big deal about borrowing money? I do it all the time! Sometimes, I even pay it back!

!!!
