centipede brian feels alot like glados from portal (in a good way) it’s probably the cocky smart attitude that lacks hesitation to mock somebody

they both love insulting! The difference is that Glados at least has something to back it up with.

[ask-toonie-cogsworth]

[Image Description: A 8 paneled colored page for Linked Spirit Legend of Zelda AU. Panel 1: Four Swords Link "Smith" stands in a castle courtyard, holding his sword over his shoulder. He's a chubby kid, with blonde hair in a ponytail. They grin, "I told you I could win without Four of me!" On the ground, a Knight with a green cape and blonde hair lays prone "Ha! Now help your father up!" He says. Panel 2: Smith grips his hand with both his hands with a toony grimace as the green knight stands. Panel 3: His father pats his shoulder, "Good work Link." Smith grins broadly. Panel 4: his father puts a hand to his chest, "I do hope you don't return to thinking you can do everything Solo from this, however." Panel 5: "Oh HA! I learned my lesson" Smith replies, smiling. Panel 6: "Alas, Hyrule can't always have multiple Links" his father says. Panel 7: his father holds a hand out, expression panicked, illuminated with teal light, "Wait, don't move!" Panel 8: "Link!" He shouts. Smith falls backwards, eyes wide and turning multicolored. They fall into a black hole-like portal with teal blue lightning and swirls. Smith is curled up, hands covering his face. "I died, I died" says a unseen speaker from within the portal. "Breathe- Link?" Says another. Smith's thoughts are in dark rectangle bubbles "...Shadow?" In blue lettering, "No. That's not his voice..." in violet "Who is that?" in green. End ID]

[puddingandp1]

hi!! :3

name: pi / tooni / pudding / whatever tbh but the first one is my preferred alias!

pronouns: she/her or they/them

age: 26 (birthday is dec. 23rd)

artist - 2d, 3d (albeit amateur), pixel art (again, amateur), and maybe bits of animation idk. i'm mainly a digital artist but i'm capable of traditional too

dms - moots only (mostly to keep the b0ts away but also bc i am super shy) sorry ;w;

art trades - moots only, closed for now

i don't do comms (as of yet) or requests (though if we're mutuals i may take in suggestions! :3 i like drawing my moots' ocs and stuff)

please do not repost my art (just reblog my art instead! if you disrespect my wishes i'll probably block you)

blog for the doodles, non-art-stuff, and reblogs is @sorrynopiforyou

additional info under the cut (interests, dni, extra info, links). you don't have to read it but i'd appreciate it if you took the time to!

main interests (i have so much to list that i'm just gonna post the essentials for now lol):

pokemon

digital circus

the amazing world of gumball

looney tunes

animation / cartoons as a whole

80s and 90s stuff - tho i'm into vintage/retro/nostalgia stuff in general

anime

vaporwave and synthwave

horror stuff (especially games and args)

music of all kinds

i'm a pretty avid selfshipper and fan of oc x canon, or even just having my ocs interacting with canon characters. what can i say? i live for cringe lol. i have a ton of sonas, ocs, and fan characters - i even have a toyhouse if you wanna take a peek! (check the carrd)

i recommend muting the following tags if you're:

not into selfshipping stuff (perfectly understandable if you find it too cringe lol)

or you're nonsharing (obviously no disrespect if you are btw, but for my sake and yours i recommend either muting these, or blocking/muting me altogether if you really can't handle it)

ship tags:

#tadc poolfloat (my oc wigglez x caine from digital circus). not technically self shipping and for the most part it's platonic at this point but it's still oc x canon so it counts

#tadc candyfloss (my tadc sona sprinklez x caine). now this is self shipping lol

... that's it for the specific ship tags for now lol everything else is just #selfshipping or #oc x canon

bear in mind it is your responsibility to moderate your experience. however, if you're a mutual i know well enough and you want me to tag something you specifically don't want to see, i am willing to tag it with something like '*mutual* dont look'.

i made the pool party, winterland (xmas) and halloween tadc aus! tho two of those aren't really unique

dni if:

basic dni criteria (creeps, bigots, a//i / crypt0 bros, pr0ship [in the sense that, for example, you think shipping kids with adults or relatives together is okay], etc.)

you're under 13 (literally against the rules)

if i suspect you're a b0t i'll probably block you. if you end up not being one i am so sorry lol

hope you enjoy looking at my art. if not... oh well haha

strawpage (wip lol. also behave yourself or be ignored):

[toonyrantssmh]

hey guys!! toony here. uhh remember hayleigh? the one who made some nasty fetish works about my boy tobey? yeah... turns out that person was a troll acc the entire time! but i don't think they've improved a bit...

im gonna put a line break here and say that uhh TW: nasty fetishes and mentions of sh0tacon

below is a video that i watched to get more info on this individual (im not associated with the creator of this video but they seem cool so go check it out) but im gonna put a HEAVY TW for absolutely nasty things. the thumbnail gives it away but oh well. under this video is a comment that the original creator of this troll acc made.

okay so basically. they made "Hayleigh" with their friend as satire to mock some parts of the wg fandom that they and their friend didn't like. guess who was the "super annoying person" that they mentioned? that's right... that person is me. i don't want any drama on my main blog unless it's something that would put me or other people in immediate danger, so i'm gonna post my side of this here.

i was very active in the wg fandom when i was like 13 to 14 years old (not to mention that yes, i was obsessed with tobey, but i was never actually in love with him and only saw him as a little brother figure. i did ship tobecky a LOT, after all), and this includes the time when i met "Hayleigh". sooo good job calling a littlun "super annoying"! natually i was stupid and cringe so yes i admit that the "white kid with the baggy clothes who's talking like he's black" ahh comment (ik that's not exactly what they said but it's a line from a family guy song that was iconic 😭) was true, im trying to cut back on that stuff now bc that was just unnecessary of me to do that. but the dumb part is that they said "trying to be japanese uwu kawaii". if you don't know me... the reason why i would talk like that is because i'm LITERALLY japanese. my irl first and last names are LITERALLY japanese! i'm LITERALLY the president of my school's japanese club right now! i did use a lot of uwu owo type words so that was kinda cringe.

Yes, I drew bunny tobey for them. I actually still have that image here:

kinda cringe but my entire thought process when making this was basically "aww! cute bunny tobey!!"

i did NOT know that they were extremely nasty until they posted their pinterest, in which they posted some absolutely disgusting things on there. i mean cmon now... these are 10 YEAR OLDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS and also, their AO3 is worse. Much, much worse. I'm not gonna explain it here bc im gonna gag if i do, but more info on that can be found in the video i linked above.

anyways, back to the comment. i do find the fact that they only stopped "trolling" bc they were "giving sh0tacons a bad name" to be extremely icky. like not even icky but actually gross, disgusting, abhorrent, and maybe even illegal. if you don't know what sh0tacons are... they're basically people who like to s3xualize little boys in fiction. i find it ironic that they're calling me annoying bc i said "uwu", used aave, and was obsessed with tobey in a completely platonic way, as in a fan-type way when they and their friend were out here making DIAPER FETISH fanfiction and other crazy things about a MIIIIINOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR and they excused it by saying that it was ragebait. absolutely no accountability at all, not even an " i'm sorry".

the sad thing is that there are comments below this person's comment clapping them up for making believeable ragebait.

overall... i don't care if this was supposedly "ragebait". they posted disgusting content in a fandom based around a show with a CHILD AUDIENCE. they don't understand the severity of their actions and they excuse it for being "woah!!! crazy 4chan edgy trolling!!!" when in reality there are people that were genuinely disgusted by this behavior. idc if they and their friend drifted either. they didn't object to this plan, and they were clearly in on it. they played their role WAY too well. i might be reaching when i say this so please take it with a grain of salt, but i think they just commented this bc they got caught and exposed. i really miss when trolling was just harmless pranks instead of this nasty nonsense...

anyways that's it. cya guys l8er <3

[mirensiart]

Miry do you have an opinion on the Four+Wind duo (petition to call them Shield Duo from here on out) and the theory that Four is Wind's ancestor the way Time is Twilight's because Wind has the shield from Minish Cap?

I LOVE IT !!!!!!!

I'm a believer of the theory tbh

Like if you look at it in a completely zelda canon way, it was deliberate from nintendo's part imo

Wind waker came out first, grandma makes it a whole thing when she gives the shield to ww!link, the shield is hang up on the wall of the house, like the family's coat of arms, she mentions how it is a family heirloom and how it belonged to a hero in the family

Then, they released minish cap, and they make a big deal of the shield, the same exact shield from wind waker! Not only is minish cap in the same toony style, somewhat linking both games even more, but they show u how mc!zelda & mc!link are childhood besties + mc!zelda winning the shield in a festival game and then giving it to mc!link as a gift right before she's turned into stone

mc!zelda's official art even has her holding the very same shield

Like why would Nintendo make such a big deal out of the shield if they weren't implying the connection lol they could've just designed a unique shield for minish cap, but they made it a point to use the same one from wind waker and give it a sentimental value to it, making it so it makes sense why mc!link would hold on to it post adventure and pass it down to his kids

Four swords came before minish cap and around the same time as wind waker, and fs!link has a similar shield but not the same exact one as wind waker's, so again, I feel like they were making it even more obvious that they wanted the minish cap shield to be exactly the same as wind waker's

Anyway, thank you for coming to my Ted talk I am A Believer lmao and I also really like the connection between them 👀💖

A (Long Overdue) Celebration

Ah, hello, Readers!

It's Jox again! Some of you probably knew me as "Toony" back in the day, but it's been a looong while since I used that name. And it's been a long while since this blog ended!

On May 23rd, 2020 I started this little ask blog not expecting it to become much. But because of all of you, it blew up into something absolutely incredible! I wish I had the words to describe how this blog changed my life. I met my fiance because of this blog. I met lifelong friends. I gained the confidence to pursue independent passion projects like my webcomic Tip The Ferrymen and others. It's kinda insane to think a tumblr ask blog based on the haha funny HL youtube series would've had such an impact on my life.

So, I wanted to do something to celebrate the blogs 4 anniversary! Unfortunately we are a bit late to the mark due to some wild stuff that happened earlier this year, but better late than never! But finally it is done and finally Tumblr let me actually upload these lmfao. Without further ado, I want to announce:

GordonRadioTV's Soundtrack has been FULLY remastered!

With help from my lovely creative partner and fiance @stygiuscantus , the soundtrack for this blog has been fully remastered! Now, you can experience the whole story again with a fresh coat of paint. The tracks are also available on Selene's bandcamp, they're "pay what you want" as well! If you want to support Selene's work, here's a good place to do it!

I am also aware that some of you may be disappointed that the old tracks are gone, but for extremely private reasons that I will not be disclosing I no longer feel comfortable having those tracks up on this blog. To me, this is a fresh start to a project I hold dear to my heart and allows me to experience it all over again. I have loved every moment of working with Selene and she has put so much heart and effort into this, so cheers to new beginnings!

Selene herself also wanted to say a few words, which are included here:

"Four years ago, a friend of mine linked a little blog called GordonRadioTV in one of our Discord servers. Being fixated on HLVRAI at the time, I quickly checked it out, only for it to genuinely, actually make me laugh. I think I read all of the chapters up to that point (up to 3, I think?) in one go, because it was such a novel storytelling medium to me, and I was immediately enraptured. Little did I know that this little funny Half-Life blog would quite literally change my life, introducing me to new friends, inspiring me to experiment with my own art forms, and helped me find the love of my life, to whom I now life with together and am engaged to. Whenever Jox needed a new composer, I jumped in to help on short-notice, giving myself a brief crash-course on music theory to do so. I started this project months ago in the hopes that I would get it done in time for the anniversary, but, well, making 20 tracks takes a long time. I tried to put a lot of thought and love into each track, with each character having their own instrumental motif, and even some melodic motifs (namely for Gordon and Benrey). I truly hope that all of you like it; I am honored to be a part of the legacy of something that's so important to me."

-Selene Highchurch

Thank you all for everything. I have said it a million times, and I wish I had a new way to phrase it, but this blog means so much to me. This project means so much. Your support means so much to me. These stories are mine as much as they are yours, so much of this story wouldn't have existed without your participation. Thank you for being here. Thank you for playing.

And to alter the words of a certain scientist...

You've changed my life, everyone. I'd like to think it was for the better.

I don't know whats going to happen to us once this blog is done for good, but I know I'll never forget you. I hope you won't forget me.

Well...This is where I get off.

Goodbye, Readers!

The Little Coffee Shop Around the Corner - Part I

Joel Miller was the type who didn’t believe in buying coffee from a coffee shop. He had a perfectly good coffee maker at home that he’d had for a quarter century now. One that had moved countries and still worked just as well as it had done the first day he’d bought it. 

Well, that was until that very morning. 

With a sputter and a final wheeze, the machine gave up the ghost, leaving Joel staring in disbelief at his kitchen counter. Grudgingly accepting defeat, he grabbed his coat and ventured out to his truck on the brisk Maplewood morning.

He’d moved to the small Canadian town a handful of years ago with his daughter Sarah from Austin Texas. Many had questioned his decision to move not just to another country, but to a town that was drastically different and far removed from Austin.

He hadn’t answered with much more than a shrug.

His contracting business had been doing well enough to live an easy life, step back and enjoy someone else taking the reigns. 

That was until he became a widow at the age of thirty-six and all he’d wanted to do was get out of dodge. Everywhere he turned, there were reminders of her, making it too difficult for him to stay.

Sarah's arrival came after both of his parents had passed away. His brother Tommy had already moved to Wyoming in pursuit of joining a community that he insisted wasn't a commune, and he had settled down and started a family. This left him alone with Sarah, so when they were presented with the opportunity for her to receive a scholarship from a prestigious Canadian school with full access to their renowned soccer program, they eagerly took it as a chance for a new beginning. Despite its remote location in British Columbia, they saw it as a fresh start.

The transition had been challenging, no doubt about it. Neither of them possessed any winter clothing, and they both had to adapt to a new currency (Joel still struggled with the difference between a Loonie and a Toonie) while navigating unfamiliar locations. However, the warmth of the town's reception overshadowed all of those challenges. No one prodded for information or tried to uncover gossip; instead, they were embraced with open arms and quickly became just another part of the Maplewood community.

Sarah had quickly adapted to her new school, which didn't come as a surprise. Meanwhile, Joel had discovered that the town was in desperate need of a handyman, and soon enough Miller Contracting was back in business. 

Pulling into a parking space on the main street outside of the bookstore Sarah often frequented, Joel rubbed his hands together cursing leaving his gloves at home. Despite his years in Maplewood, winter still felt like a shock every time it rolled around.

After taking a moment to orient himself, he recalled that the coffee shop was located to the left around the corner. With this in mind, he began his journey to the end of the street. Luckily, his workload for the day was relatively light, so this unexpected diversion wouldn't cause too much delay

The stores had wasted no time in getting out their Christmas decorations, he looked across the street as he walked to the bakery - its window frames draped in holly and ivy, punctuated by glittering baubles were no exception. Merry Tree Trek, a Christmas tree scavenger hunt put on by the town's businesses was due to start the following day. One of the many traditions Maplewood had for the festive season. 

As Joel entered 'True North Brews,' the aroma of freshly ground coffee beans and the gentle hum of conversation welcomed him. The shop was packed with locals, all happily chatting away as they waited for their orders to be ready. Standing in line, he scanned the menu, feeling out of his depth. This was Sarah’s territory - he usually was just there to provide payment before they headed on to whatever errand needed to be completed next.

He took in the festive decor as he waited in line. Christmas lights had been strung along the edges of the bar, while fake holly adorned every pillar in sight. Paper snowflakes hung from the ceiling and garlands of green and red festooned the fireplace. Which crackled merrily at one end of the room, and he smiled to himself as he watched an elderly couple sitting close together on one of the sofas near it - no doubt soaking up every minute of extra warmth they could get before trudging back out into the cold night air.

That’s when he noticed you behind the counter. You were relatively new, he knew your name and that you were the owner's daughter – Sarah had regaled your appearance in Maplewood several months back when you'd stopped by the bakery. Right now you were serving the town’s newest member of the tourism board, he couldn’t remember her name but knew he’d seen her with Marcus from the bakery here and there. Your eyes met briefly, and a hint of a smile danced on your lips.

Finally, it was his turn to order, “Hey Joel,” you said, recognizing him from his numerous visits with his daughter, “No Sarah today?”

He shook his head, “Just me.”

“In that case, what can I make for you?” you asked, your voice cheery in light of Joel’s look of utmost confusion.

“Just coffee, please,” he said, in a tone that suggested this was an everyday request.

You raised an eyebrow playfully. “Coffee? Coffee means a lot of different things around here. What kind of coffee would you like?”

Joel scratched his head, looking a bit lost. “Uh, just your regular coffee, you know? Nothing fancy,” he replied, his Texas drawl more pronounced.

You leaned against the counter with a friendly grin. “How about trying something a bit festive? A peppermint mocha, perhaps? It's like a holiday in a cup!”

Joel's eyebrows rose in surprise, but a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. “That's far too fancy for my tastes.” he laughed, “Just a regular black coffee will do.”

You nodded understandingly but with a twinkle in your eye. “Tell you what, how about an Americano? It's close to black coffee but with a bit more character. It's on the house, and if you don't like it, you can come back, and I'll make you a straight-up black coffee. But, I have a hunch you might enjoy the Americano.”

Joel looked surprised but intrigued. “Well, when you put it that way... sure, I'll give it a try.”

As you began preparing his order, Joel glanced around, noticing the line behind him starting to grow. “Looks like you've got a busy day ahead,” he remarked.

You smiled, handing him the Americano. “Maplewood wakes up early during the holiday season. Enjoy your coffee, and remember, if it's not to your liking, come back up for that black coffee.”

Joel opened his mouth to respond, but the bustling line behind him urged him forward, cutting short the chance for a proper response. He settled for a quick, “Thanks,” and moved aside.

Later that day as you were wiping down the counters, your mother Jean and the current owner of the coffee shop, joined you out front. “I've been thinking,” she began, her voice laced with a blend of both excitement and seriousness. 

“That’s dangerous,” you quipped, ignoring the scowl she sent you as she made her way around the counter to the front of the store.

“I was thinking,” she said ignoring you, “that now might be a good time for me to step back with you back in town.”

You paused, cloth in hand. Coming back to Maplewood hadn't been your first choice, especially after things ended with Max. Your ex-boyfriend who had suddenly gotten too tied up in climbing the corporate ladder, after a business trip across seas, to notice the relationship unravelling. 

“I really don’t know how long I’m going to be here,” you replied, having already been in town a month longer than your original plan of just six weeks.

The statement was not an exaggeration; the apartment had been in Max's name, and the two of you had always planned to add your own on the deed. But procrastination got in the way. With rental prices on the rise and a sabbatical from work, coming home was your only option until you could figure out your next move.

She shrugged, “Doesn’t matter, as long as it’s long enough for me to do some travelling, get a taste of what an early retirement could look like.”

You sighed, “What’s the angle here, Mom?”

“What angle?” she responded as she fussed with the tree you’d both decorated with coffee-themed decor the night before for the Merry Tree Trek.

Your mother had a knack for mixing business with motherly concern in a way that only she could. She glanced at you over the rim of her glasses, a half-smile playing on her lips.

“No angle,” She said, adjusting a tiny coffee bean ornament. “I've been running True North Brews since before you were born, and it's been a dream. But, I'm not getting any younger, and the world's a big place. I'd like to see some of it while I still can.”

You couldn't help but smile at her adventurous spirit, something you had undoubtedly inherited. “You want to travel? Since when?”

“Since always,” she replied with a twinkle in her eye. “The shop has been in our family for two generations now. I'd hate to see it end up in different hands, or worse, closed down.”

The weight of her words hung in the air. Taking over the coffee shop wasn't something you had considered seriously. You had other dreams, didn't you? But then again, the shop was more than just a business; it was a piece of Maplewood's heart, and undeniably, a big part of your family's legacy.

Your mother continued, “I know you're figuring things out, and I'm not asking you to decide right this second. But think about it. This place could use your touch and your ideas. You've always had a knack for making people feel welcome, just like your grandmother did when she opened this place.”

You leaned against the counter, absorbing her words. The coffee shop had been a staple in your life for as long as you could remember. Your earliest memories were of playing behind the counter, the smell of coffee always in the air.

Perhaps this unexpected turn of events was not just a setback but an opportunity, a chance to add your chapter to the story of Maple Brews.

“I'll think about it,” you said finally, a mix of apprehension and excitement bubbling inside you. But you still threw her a pointed look, “just thinking about it, okay?”

“That's all I'm asking,” she replied, her eyes softening. “Now, help me with this stubborn string of lights, will you? This tree needs to look perfect for when the scavenger hunt starts this afternoon.”

It was nearing closing when the ring of the bell at the front door rang signalling a customer. Looking up you saw Marcus, the owner of Maple Delights standing at the door, stamping his feet to rid his boots of the snow that had started the fall that afternoon.

“Hey Marcus,” you greeted, “can I get you anything?” you asked as you accepted a stack of pink cake boxes from him. Maple Delights had a long-standing business deal with True North Brews to sell their baked goods in their displays - one that extended beyond Marcus' tenure as owner.

He gave you a wide smile, “Actually, it’s what you can do for me?”

You raised an eyebrow, “Well, I’m intrigued.”

“So, the Jingle Bell Movie night later this month,” he said, posing the event as a question. It was an annual tradition of the town, with everyone coming together for an evening of festivities and movie-watching in the community centre. “I was thinking, what if Maple Delights and True North Brews tag-teamed the event?”

Your interest was piqued. “Go on,” you encouraged.

Marcus's eyes lit up. “I'll supply the treats—cookies, pastries, you name it—and you guys could handle the hot drinks? Hot chocolate, spiced cider, maybe some festive coffee concoctions?”

You nodded, already visualizing the bustling event. “Sounds like a perfect match to me. Maple Delights' treats and our drinks? The town will love it!”

“Hey, speaking of the bakery, question for you about the renovations you did when you bought the place. You restored it to its original façade, right?” you asked, as Marcus leant against the counter.

He smiled, a hint of pride in his voice. “Yeah, I did. Wanted to preserve a piece of Maplewood’s history. The building has such character, it felt right to bring it back to its former glory.”

“Well, it certainly is stunning. It must've been quite a project,” you remarked.

Marcus nodded. “It was a labour of love, but totally worth it in the end.”

Your mind was buzzing with ideas and your mother's earlier conversation replaying over in your head, “Who did you get in to do the work?” you asked, knowing that Maplewood wasn't exactly crawling with talented contractors and designers.

“Actually it was Joel Miller, he did the renovation.”

“Really?” you asked, surprised.

Marcus chuckled. “Joel really did some great work on the bakery. He's got a really good eye for detail. Took my vision and made it even better than I could have imagined.”

You were impressed. “Wow, well he did an amazing job. It was one of the first things I noticed when I came back. It adds so much charm to the street.”

“Thanks,” Marcus said, a warm smile on his face. “Joel's a really talented guy. He's a great addition to the community, both him and Sarah.”

“Well, if he did such a great job with the bakery, maybe he could help us with the coffee shop,” you said, half-jokingly.

Marcus raised an eyebrow. “You're thinking of doing a reno?”

You hesitated, feeling a bit exposed not having intended to speak out loud your internal thoughts, “It's something my mom and I have discussed in the past, but she's the type if it ain't broke don't fix it.”

Marcus laughed, “I can testify to that, I mentioned I was looking to scale back serving coffee in the bakery, and asked if she had any interest in the espresso machine,” you rolled your eyes knowing what was coming, you'd been begging her to replace the old machine for years, “told me that this one,” he jerked his thumb in the direction of the tired looking machine, “worked just fine.”

You shook your head, “One of these days she's going to realize giving it a good thud is probably doing more damage than fixing it.”

Marcus glanced at his watch. “I should get going. Got to make sure we have enough gingerbread dough for tomorrow. Those gingerbread men won't bake themselves!”

“Thanks for stopping by. Let's touch base early next week to finalize those plans for the movie night.”

With a nod and a wave, you watched Marcus leave, but now the seed of an idea was planted in your mind. A reno could be just what True North Brews needed to give it a fresh look and make it stand out. But you weren't taking over, you reminded yourself, no -- it was just you helping out with the family business, nothing more, right?

The next morning, Joel’s kitchen still lacked a new coffee maker. The old one sat forlornly on the counter, a reminder of a morning routine disrupted. With a resigned sigh, Joel grabbed his coat and headed out to his truck. The town was slowly waking up, the street sprinkled with early risers and the promise of a busy day ahead.

As he pushed open the door of the coffee shop, the familiar jingle of the bell greeted him, along with the rich aroma of brewing coffee. You looked up from the espresso machine, a smile spreading across your face as you recognized him.

“Morning, Joel,” you greeted. “Americano?” you asked with a hopeful smile since he'd never returned for that black coffee.

Joel nodded, a small smile tugging at his lips. “You know, I never thought I’d say this, but I think I actually like it a bit more than my usual.”

You laughed as you prepared his coffee. “Glad to hear that. We might make a coffee aficionado out of you yet.”

“Let's not get too ahead of ourselves.” he laughed as he watched you prepare his drink.

Handing him his coffee, you hesitated for a moment before speaking. “Actually Joel, can I ask you something about your contracting work?”

He looked surprised but nodded. “Sure, what about it?”

“I heard from Marcus that you did the renovation work on the bakery. It looks incredible. Said you kept the original design when you worked on it?”

Joel’s expression softened, a hint of pride in his eyes. “Yeah, I did. Marcus wanted to retain the historical look of the building. It was a great project to work on, restoring it to its original state while giving it all the modern requirements.”

You were genuinely interested. “That’s impressive. It’s such an integral part of the town’s charm. I’ve been thinking, True North Brews could use a bit of sprucing up. Would you perhaps be up for discussing a quote any time soon?”

Joel looked around the coffee shop, considering. “Sure, I’d be happy to. What did you have in mind?”

“I'm not too sure, mostly starting fixing what needs fixing and going from there, just keeping the cozy vibe but maybe adding a little Maplewood flair to it.”

He nodded, sipping at his coffee thoughtfully. “Sounds like a good project. Why don’t we sit down sometime next week and go over what you’re thinking? I can put together some ideas and a quote for you.”

“That would be great,” you replied, feeling a surge of excitement at the prospect of giving the coffee shop a fresh, new look.

Placing his coffee on the counter, Joel handed you his business card from his wallet, giving you a quick glimpse of a family portrait tucked inside. 

“Here,” he said pocketing his wallet and handing you his business card, “why don't you give me a call and we can arrange something?”

You smiled as you traced the logo of Miller Contracting, “Sure, sounds like a plan!”

As Joel left, coffee in hand, you couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticipation. Not only at the idea of possible renovations but for the growing sense of community you had quickly settled into while only being back for a short period in Maplewood. But before you could think any further about it, the bell above the door rang and a group of tourists trekked in, Merry Tree Trek maps in hand.

You gave them a wide smile as you welcomed them in, “Welcome to True North Brews, what can I get started for you?”
