#what a beautiful parallel 🥰🥰🥰

[mecachrome]

omg k i just saw ur top 3 landoscar moments post from october 2023... any changes/updates since then? new moments made it onto the list? or if not... favorite moment of 2024 so far? (i just like hearing (reading?) ur thoughts it's like reading an intellectual (but still sappy in my fave way) bedtime story 🥰)

hklsdfhlsfhd naurrr... this is so embarrassing why am i still deeply landoscarpilled 6 months later 😔

but honestly i have been thinking about this and the sheer volume of crasyinsane material and lore we've accrued since last year because now i'm like how would you even begin constructing a top 3....... the possibilities are endless!!!

in terms of pre-october content that i might have missed before, i'd say most of this ask still holds (lando's biggest fan dot mp4 will NEVER lose its insanity to me. quintessential landoscar meta as far as i'm concerned) but now i also desperately need 2 shout out portrait painting challenge...... when it came out i was of course susceptible to the "you look beautiful" bantz though mostly just wrote it off as shipbait and since then i've looked back on this video multiple times and been like ?! why was oscar's deference to lando so insane actually.... i've alr mentioned this b4 but 1) oscar taking lando's intro in stride and immediately responding i am ready lando norris 2) oscar playfully acquiescing and letting lando use purple after he'd already chosen it 3) >like 5 seconds later. "you like purple don't you?" "uhhhh... i can do now" (who says that.) 4) another stunning display of lando Nooticing and fixating on oscar's hair swoop and last but not least 5) the way oscar FOLDS OVER and giggles helplessly when lando tells him i've just done you all pink ??? like. OKAY. cheers

looking @ recent content..... personally i find 814 so fascinating because while there are many Discrete Moments i can point out that make my brain explode i also feel like to some degree the reason we (? or maybe just me. again i apologize for the nonsensical drivel i create) love to make parallel gifsets of them is because they have such an understated dynamic built off many minute unspoken habits and wordless exchanges and essentially Patterns so there is less of like... a need for spontaneous intimacy.... if that makes sense. it's about the consistency of reciprocal comfort... iterations..... palisades palisades......... ok this is totally not related to the ask i've just been rotating it in my mind

anyway 10 personable favs !!! arranged chronologically

finish the lyrics (oct 2023): a deeply obvious one but you can't Not include it 😩 i can't believe this came out a week after i answered that because seriously what da hell. @ OSCAR PIASTRI WHAT IS WRONG WITH YEWWWWWWWW. there are sooooo many things i could mention here that i feel have already been exhaustively expounded, the most obvious of course being the classic ojp Heart Eyes moment(s) (Many such cases......but also specifically the love story one) (like i'd argue silverstone was mostly responsible for getting 814 off the ground BUT this video was when their dynamic became the most "mainstream" and accessible to fandom as a whole... the amount of non-f1 fans i saw qrting reups of that clip!!!!) anyway but then you also get 👉 whatever the inside joke they have about old town road is. oscar saying "i reckon you'd be unreal in a karaoke bar in japan" which i still think is such a Line... just me ??? the way he verryryryyyy softly sings "yes" with lando at the end of their love story karaoke and the insane camera angle of him just out of focus. like. really in general there is just such a soft and lighthearted and Fun air to their dynamic in this video that makes me ;__; AND this is another prime moment of lando narrating oscar's firsts for him (singing on camera at mcl!!!) . ALSAURR lando tapping oscar on the bicep while sarcastically complimenting him. once again for two guys who never touch it compels me... actually i could go on about this video tbh like how oscar nearly falls off the couch giggling at lando playing the songs together and then it cuts to the next one and he's suddenly all flushed and his bangs have gotten all fucked up. he's so... they're so... let's move on.

splunk sim city challenge (nov 2023): many classic lines such as "i haven't even distracted you yet!" + oscar knowing his podium year and lando saying "you're a nerd!" + lando going ":) :o are you okay?" and so on... general setup of this challenge was crasy tbh. how it revolves around disrupting the other person's focus and the visual asymmetry of one being sat higher and having to lean over to distract them and how oscar just giggles goodnaturedly when lando sticks his cue cards in front of his face instead of getting annoyed and—SO ON. also forever obsessed with how oscar wordlessly lifts his eyebrows at lando at the end lol

that one sticker video (nov 2023): this video is insaaAAANEEEE to me. ANYONE ELSE??? first of all oscar and lando gingerly standing across each other on either side of the flower bed (while zak brown assumes a power stance directly on it lmfao) is already so visually overwhelming but then the way oscar glances up as he's removing the sticker from the cap, how you can seeeeee him calculating the move the entire time and being adorably pleased about it, @__@ the way lando grins at him afterward... (also crying at zb glancing at them and being equally charmed by their antics) wahhh TT__TT the vibes of this clip... immaculate

oscar thanking lando in their final post-race message (nov 2023): honestly the entire message in general but :__) one of my fav 814 moments OAT is oscar including lando in his thank you speech and lando not really expecting it and being genuinely touched by the gesture. lando is so endearingly fidgety the entire time honestly and the way he perks up a bit and wrings his hands together and playfully smiles at oscar when he mentions him... okayyy. anyway 2 me it's reminiscent of yes/no challenge "am i the funniest teammate you've ever had?" "(shyly) yeahhh... you're up there" (said in the same baby-ish voice as "so... lando?" UGH. UGHHHH) and how lando genuinely gets a bit awkwardly flustered by it like!!! god. wait ALSO i don't have the space for this so i'm throwing in end of season awards MMMM debatable + how gleefully lando threw oscar under the bus and in general just the incredible expression work going on for both of them during this exchange. God [2]

si rapid fire questions (dec 2023): this video was crucial in determining that oscar... well. is obsessed with accommodating and mirroring lando. many things we already knew (aka listening to whatever music lando listens to; insert prema lap "maybe i should move to an english team because the music's better" moment here) but equally important is oscar "stealing" lando's dinner, how lando presses him on the back to the future question until oscar just changes his answer to his, and of course as you know per my blog title NO I'M GOING TO KEEP YOU HAPPY is in my eyes top 5 most insane things oscar piastri has ever said. likeee... lando showing a bit of jokey remorse over enforcing his rules (don't even get me started about lando and game/challenge rules...) but oscar being sooo determined 2 honor his teasing 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 :melting_face: x100!!!

need to split this into two lists because apparently there's a div character limit 😔 continuing on

hilton spa ad (feb 2024): of course this pained me because of This Moment (specifically lando bringing his hand back down when oscar tried to lift it from beneath him 😮‍💨) but that is neither here nor there. obsessed with the salmon at the engineering table anecdote because the most logical explanation for oscar Not doing that anymore is because lando didn't like it... or he just eats different things now but we already know that he's adopted lando's preferred meal b4 so that's equally a lot 2 digest !!! also >the callback to their one million LOOK AT YOU/HIM moments >how they touch shoulders exactly Once when they sit down and then never again despite lando continuously leaning into oscar's space to get to the button... eugh. also just top tier oscar faces + hair 🥰

opening title behind the scenes (mar 2024): thinking about all the hilarious gifsets of this moment that i ate up deliciously 🧡🧡🧡 this was such a significant reminder of how 814 have just gotten like, exceedingly comfortable around each other & have learned 2 communicate via the most inscrutable expressions and noises and gestures that somehow suit Them perfectly x__x although i doubt they will ever really become ~effusive~ with each it's frankly even more devastating that they both help each other care less about maintaining appearances / how they often get so sucked into their interactions (see next bullet point) that everything else kind of just fades away in that instant.... all right ⚠️⚠️⚠️ maybe that's a bit of a stretch but we can pretend for the rpf lens!!! see also my tag spiel in this beautiful tuva gifset.

photo day antics (mar 2024): do you ever just...... what went on in bahrain. honestly. more from this weekend in a second but this video plus the accompanying photo encapsulate their dynamic so perfectly it makes me scream... how 814 are not only so annoyingly focused on each other all the time but also stand SOOO UNNECESSARILY CLOSE while every other teammate pairing is spaced out normally. yuki and checo glancing at them alksfdhdf 😭 truly so ridiculous that the poor photo person tried to get lando's attention and they pretended to comply for two seconds before oscar was lifting his foot to show lando his boot again. also why did it take oscar a million years to step away from lando and put a more appropriate amount of space between them...?! and even then it was barely that much........... (10 paragraphs of speaking later) I prefer really not to speak.

accidental waist grab (mar 2024): this gave me psychic damage so bad i should be lobotomized. we've already spoken about this perhaps erm excessively but why did lando feel the need to stand JUST as close to him if not closer after they broke apart. there was truly no need...... honestly the way this ship will have us looking up driver cams and staring at esteban ocon's ass as he gets out his car just for a single glimpse of their parc fermé dynamic.

bahrain post-race interview antics (mar 2024): You already knowwwww. the sky sports "he follows me everywhere" moment is equally important but the f1tv interview giving us horrifically natural banter (juxtaposing this with their previous interview moments...), lando's dumb faux australian accent and oscar playing along as always, and most of all them HIJACKING THE INTERVIEW & commiserating on camera together ❓❗️ lichrally the grid photo all over again. often when i have emotions over an 814 moment i worry that i sound overly He_Only_Got_Two_Eyes.jpeg but truly sometimes two people are just objectively insane. plus land of piastri/lando piastri.....

also runner up is the f1tv interview with lawrence aka lando's cooing noise @ oscar discussing lily (anyone else frame by frame color pick oscar's face to see how badly he flushed... no? just me?) + the beautiful self-aware surfacing of the CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS of their relationship...... !!! love when 2 guys expose and confirm their own sincerity in trying to verbally resist it. hem

is this anything. sorry eve LKSFDHLDHSF thank u for the ask & pls lmk what ur fav moments are too 🧡

a/n: It's Carnival in Brazil! A delicious holiday in the middle of our summer with 4 days of celebration.

His Little Girl | Bradley Bradshaw x Reader P.82

Click here to see the master list

Bestiess! Hi!! I am so sorry for being away for so long. As some of you may know, I have been away at a clinic for my mental health. I will try to be as active as possible; however, I am still going through the motions of the clinic. But thank you all so much for supporting me and being so sweet. please take care of yourselves! Mental health and your health matter! I love you all so much! 💕 Happy reading and enjoy! ❤️

A/n: You and Bradley are about to experience your first night home with the boys! What cuteness will unfold? 🥰

Word Count: 3k

Warnings: cursing, crying, making fun of, name-calling, mentions gagging and wanting to puke, mentions throw up/spit up, but so much cuteness 🥰

Please don't take my work, I will find you. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You and Bradley had a long first night home with the boys. They slept for the first 3 hours and then after that, they were like offset ticking time bombs. 

Little Brad started to fuss and whine in his bassinet. Bradley sat up in bed and kissed your cheek. “I got him, baby.” You felt his weight shift off the bed followed by some heavy steps to the boys in their bassinets. You could hear Bradley’s back crack as he stretched out before picking up his son. 

“Let’s go little B. Daddy’s got you, bud.” You could feel Bradley sit a the edge of the bed. You laid on your back and looked over at him. His back was faced towards you. He was slightly bouncing on the bed and rocking your son in his arms. The fussing started to subside and Bradley turned to you. “Gonna go make him a bottle, babe.” 

You nodded and cuddled back into bed. “Okay.” You said softly with a small smile on your face. 

Bradley came over and placed a kiss on your forehead and headed out the door to go downstairs to make a bottle for little Brad. He came back in feeding him. You propped yourself up and smiled. 

“Did you nuke my milk in the microwave?” 

Bradley chuckled and nodded. “I did. 20 seconds. Then tested it on my wrist.” He gestured a chef’s kiss. “T’was perfect.” He sat on the bed next to you as he continued to feed little Brad. “And baby boy is loooooving it.” He leaned toward you so you could see your son chugging down the milk. “Chug it, chug it!” Bradley pumped his fist and whispered to his son. 

You giggled and laid on Bradley’s shoulder. “You are such a natural, Brad.”

He smiled and kissed your head. “Thanks, sweetheart. I’m getting a lot of help from the best mom ever.” 

Once little Brad finished his bottle, Bradley propped him up against his chest and started to pat his back to get him to burp. A belch was an understatement of what came out of your son. Bradley threw his head back and started to laugh. “Holy shit. He gets that from you, babe.” Bradley lifted his son so his face was parallel with his. Little Brad’s mouth was slightly agape. Bradley placed a kiss to his lips and continued to place pecks on him. The sound of his puckers were muffled in little Brad’s mouth. 

Little Brad stretched his little legs and opened his eyes slightly. You gasped and sat up to look at him. You turned on your lamp by your bedside to get a good look at him. 

Bradley furrowed his brows and looked at you. “Baby, I thought you said the boys have green eyes?”

You looked at Bradley with furrowed brows. “They do?” You tilted your head slightly confused. 

Bradley chuckled and shook his head. “Well, it looks to me like they are not 100% identical.” He turned little Brad to you, his eyes were still open. 

You placed your hand over your mouth. “What are those beautiful-looking things?” You grabbed your son from Bradley’s grasp and leaned back against the headboard. You bent your legs and placed little Brad against your thighs. You Hunched over into your son’s gaze. A little smile peered from his toothless grin. “Bradley Bradford Bradshaw. Do you have a combination of mommy and daddy’s eyes?” You took a closer look and confirmed he in fact did. 

You patted Bradley on his shoulder and pointed to little Brad’s eyes. “Babe. His eyes are Hazel.” 

Bradley gently rubbed his index finger on his son’s cheek. “Our Hazey boy.” Bradley chucked. “At least we can tell them apart now babe, but the Bradleys will still be confusing because there are two of us.” 

You and Bradley shared a laugh. You nodded. “I love it. Our hazel-eyed boy." You gave Bradley a kiss on his lips. Then you heard some more fussing coming from Luke’s bassinet. Bradley laughed and pecked your nose. 

“I got him, sweetheart.” 

———-

The next morning. Phoenix had opened the door to check on you and Bradley to see if you both needed anything. The sight she walked in on was so wholesome, but also hilarious. There were stinky dirty diapers thrown in the corner of the room. A change of clothes with spit up hanging off the foot of the bed. A fairly used burp towel hung over the headboard. 3 sets of used bottles on each of your and Bradley’s bedside tables. You hanging off the bed with your hand in Luke’s bassinet and Bradley propped up against the headboard snoring with Little Brad cuddled up on his chest. Phoenix started to laugh and entered the room quietly. Hangman was passing by and started to laugh at the sight he saw through the open door. Phoenix shushed him right away.

“Shut up, Bagman. Let them all rest.” She chuckled as she went to retrieve all the used bottles. 

Jake came in and started to collect the dirty diapers. When the stench hit him he gagged. Phoenix turned quickly to him laughing. “Oh, my god. For just drinking y/n’s milk these boys take gnarlier shits than me.” He plugged his nose and picked up all the diapers. 

Phoenix rolled her eyes and went to pick up the dirty set of clothes. “L.N.B” She giggled. “Luke blew one of those diapers last night.” She held up the very rough onesie covered in spit-up and some poop. 

Jake started to gag even more and covered his mouth and left the room immediately. Phoenix laughed and rolled her eyes again. “Wimp.” She gave you, Bradley, and the boys one last look before she smiled and left the room. She closed the door quietly as she exited. 

———-

While Jake and Phoenix cleaned up yours and Bradley’s room of the horrors from the first night. Austin went and got Leia up and ready for the day. 

He knocked on her door and peered in slowly. “Leia Rey. Time to get up, darlin.” He entered her room with a bright smile on his face. 

Leia sat up, stretched, and rubbed her eyes. “Good morning, my Austie!” She let out a satisfying sigh and got up to give Austin a hug. “Can you help me fix my bed?” She started to smooth out her sheets. 

Austin chuckled and pulled her comforter up and started to tuck it into the mattress. “There you go, darlin. All fixed. Ready to get ready?” 

Leia clapped her hands and nodded. “I’m ready! Can I pick my outfit?”

Austin pushed her hair back and kissed her forehead. “Of course, little babe. What do you feel like wearing today?” They both went over to the closet and started to look for an outfit for Leia. She chose to wear a two-toned butterfly sweat set. It was half purple and half black with butterfly patches. Austin brought her to the bathroom and helped her wash her face and brush her teeth. “How do you wanna do your hair today, Leia?” 

Austin started to brush her hair as Leia looked in the mirror. “Hmmmm.” She tapped her finger to her lips. “I want a puffy bun!” She rested her hands on her cheeks and smiled at Austin through the mirror. 

Austin’s eyes went wide and he raised his brows. “Hmm. Let me ask your Aunt Nat to see if she can help you with that.” He chuckled and went into the hallway to call for Phoenix. 

———-

After Phoenix finished Leia's hair, she brought her downstairs where Jake and Austin started breakfast for everyone. Leia ran to Jake and jumped into his embrace. “Uncle Jakey! Good morning!” She pecked his cheek over and over again.

“Vapor girl, you looked beautiful as always, honey.” He kissed her cheek and brought her over to set her down on the kitchen counter. “So how many pancakes are you feeling, honey?”

Leia’s eyes went wide with excitement. “Pancakes!”

Jake chuckled and nodded as he pulled out the mixing bowl full of pancake mix. “Of course! The best breakfast for the best girl in the world!” He got a dollop of pancake mix on the tip of his index finger and poked it onto Leia’s nose.

Phoenix rolled her eyes. “We just cleaned her up, Bagman.” She grabbed a wet paper towel and wiped the pancake mix from Leia’s face. 

Leia giggled, “I want 3!” 

The three of them looked at Leia shocked. “Jesus, Leia girl… 3??” Phoenix looked at Leia with a shocked smile. Leia nodded her head with a smile plastered across her face. “You do have that Bradshaw appetite!” Phoenix grabbed her from the counter and cover her cheek with kisses as she brought her over to the dinner table and sat her in a seat. “Gonna get your plate ready, m’kay?” She gave Leia’s head a little pat before she went to start her plate. 

———-

Bradley’s POV 

I woke up to the sound of giggling and slight yelling coming from down the hallway. I was still holding little Brad to my chest. I smiled and gave the top of his head a kiss. I rubbed my eyes and wiped my hand down my face. “Holy shit.” I looked over at the clock. 1024. “Damn, I haven’t slept in like this in forever.” I took a deep breath and looked over at you. You were still fast asleep, hand in little Luke’s bassinet. I chuckled and got up slowly. 

I placed Brad in his bassinet and was going to start cleaning up the room from last night’s shenanigans. I looked around the room and it was already clean. I scratched the back of my head confused. “Huh.” I raised my brows. “Trace.” I chuckled again and headed into the bathroom to clean up for the day. 

After I finished getting ready, I re-tucked you into bed and gave you a kiss on your cheek. “Get as much sleep as you need, sweetheart. I love you, forever.” I grabbed the baby walkie-talkie so I can hear if any of the boys started to get fussy. I left our bedroom and went down the hall to hear what the commotion was about. It was coming from Leia’s room. I peeked around the corner and witnessed the most hilarious sight I have ever seen in my life. Better than Fanboy dressed as the tooth fairy in a pink tutu. 

*Mocking a prissy girl’s voice* “Oh, my gosh, Leia. Ken cannot have that Barbie dream car! I’ve been wanting it so bad!” 

“HOO - LLY SHIIIT.” I started to snicker as I was trying to hold back my laugh. 

Leia whipped around in her tangled dress that she was able to fit over her clothes. She had very minimal makeup done. She smiled at me, “Hi, Daddy! Good morning!” 

Then, Hangman turned around. My jaw dropped to the floor. I had no words. He looked at me with wide eyes holding a lipstick tube in between his fingers, his other hand holding one of Leia’s dolls. 

“Shit.” He looked at me with regret and knew I was never going to let him live this down. He was fucked. “Bradshaw.” He put the doll and lipstick down. 

I raised my brows. “Mrs. Seresin.” I started to chuckle. 

He rolled his eyes and stood up. He fixed the pink tutu he was wearing and brush his blonde hair from a ratty wig from his face. He placed his hands on his hips and cleared his throat. He nodded at me as he stood in from of me. “So. What’s up, man?” 

I looked him up and down. “So what are we up to here, girlies?” I raised my brows at him with a sly smirk across my face. He narrowed his eyes at me. 

“We are playing, Daddy!”

I nodded and smiled at Hangman. “What are we playing Uncle Jake? Or maybe Aunt Jackie is more appropriate?”

“Leia Rey wanted to play dolls.” His voice was stern and his eyes still narrowed at me in annoyance. 

I nodded slowly. “Mmhm.” I looked him up and down again. 

“Uncle Jake suggested we play, Daddy!” Leia giggled in the background.

I crossed my arms. “So Aunt Jackie suggested dolls? Is that soooo….” Another smirk across my face. “Hmmm…” I bit my lip trying to hold my laughter back. 

Hangman's jaw clenched and he sighed. “She looked bored.”

I nodded. “Sure. I believe you, Jackie.”

“HAAA AUNT JACKIE!” Leia was cracking up behind Hangman.

“So where are Phoenix and Austin?” 

He gulped and looked around. “They went to the store to get a couple of things.”

“Sooo, you mean to tell me that they haven’t seen you in this state yet?” I raised my brows. 

“Don't you dare, Bradshaw.” He folded his arms and looked at me with beady eyes. 

I shrugged. “I’m just saying it would be a shame if they didn’t get to see you all dolled up, sweetheart. Don’t let my wife see you. She’s going to get jealous.” I winked at him and he rolled his eyes. I poked at his lips. “So… what shade is that? It really compliments your eyes.” I kept poking at his lips and was chuckling. 

Hangman slapped my hand away from his lips and scoffed, “Shut up, Bradshaw.” He pushed me aside and headed toward the bathroom to clean up. He stopped before he went in and turned to me. “It’s pretty in pink if you are dying to know.” As he turned back around he flipped his hair and went into the bathroom. 

Leia came up next to me and crossed her arms as she leaned against the door frame. She let out a long sigh. “Aunt Jackie really has her panties in a bunch, huh Daddy?” She nudged my hip with her elbow. 

I looked down at her with raised brows. “Where on earth did you learn that phrase, Leia Rey Bradshaw?” I gawked my head at her with my mouth open. I leaned against the other side of her doorframe. 

She giggled. “Aunt Nat.” She raised her brows and smirked at me. 

I messed up her hair and shook my head. “Crazy girl.”

———-

Hangman finished cleaning up the makeup from his face and came out of the bathroom pulling the wig off and stepping out of the tutu. “So how’d you sleep, Rooster?” He threw the wig and tutu at me. 

“First night home was a little rough, but we are just getting the hang of things. For me, my first time, and for y/n/n getting into the swing of things again. But god she did so well last night. I wish I didn’t need her help all the time, but she’s so great.” I smiled and followed him into Leia’s room to put the wig and tutu away. “But after all the poop, spit-ups, and feeding we slept all like babies.” I chuckled as I put the wig and tutu away. 

Hangman shuddered and made a disgusted face. “Please don’t mention the poop. I think that smell is stained into my nostrils.” 

I jerked my head back and laughed. “What are you talking about?”

Hangman sat down on Leia’s bed and looked up at me while raising his brows. “Phoenix and I went into your room this morning when you, the boys, and y/n were passed out. We cleaned up a little bit, so you and y/n could sleep more and not have to worry about cleaning up.” 

I sat next to him on the bed and smiled as I patted his back. “Thanks, Seresin.”

He nodded his head. “Those boys take nastier shits than you and I combined.” We both laughed.

The baby walkie-talkie started to go off. One of the boys was fussy. I hit Hangman with the back of my hand. “Hang on man. I got to go get the boys. I want y/n to get some more sleep.”

He stood up with me and followed me to the room. “I’ll grab one and you grab the other, Bradshaw.” I nodded and opened the door slowly. We each walked over to a bassinet and grabbed a baby. 

I picked up little Luke. He was the one who was fussing. “Daddy’s got you. You’re okay little man.” I gave him a kiss and headed out of the room. 

Hangman was outside the room rocking Brad in his arms. “Hey, little Bradley. Uncle Jakey’s got you, buddy.”

I closed the door softly as you stirred around in bed. I smiled before closing the door. “Sleep tight, sweetheart.”

I turned to Hangman as he was holding little Brad. He was laughing softly as he looked at him. “I got to break it to you, Rooster. You and y/n make the most beautiful kids. You know. Until mine come along.” 

I started to laugh. “Thanks, Seresin.” I poked baby Brad's in his belly. “Hazey boy, my main man, it’s time for your brother and you to get a diaper change, a onesie change, and a bottle.” 

Hangman looked at me confused. “Hazey boy?”

I chuckled. “Yea. Baby Brad has Hazel eyes, dude.”

He smiled and nodded. “Wait really?! Luke got the pretty hazels too?”

I shook my head. “Nah. Green like Leia and I.” I showed him, Luke, as he had his eyes open. 

Hangman gasped. “Holy crap. Now you can definitely tell them apart. That is so cool.”

I nodded and pointed to the boy’s room. “Let’s go get them ready.”

“Right behind you, Bradshaw. I’ll do anything but change a diaper. I can’t do it after this morning. The only way I will touch a diaper is if you can get me a military-grade gas mask to wear.”

@emmalostinwonderland: The story is gripping, the characters are compelling, and the myth they chose is really under-appreciated. I rode the entire rollercoaster of emotions with this one, and I would gladly do it again.

cover to cover by Anonymous

anon: The characters' voices are amazing and the narration is just super sweet! A feel-good fic for anyone craving a good intimate time.

On Thin Ice by @pirates-against-heterosexuality (WIP)

anon: A really sweet, in progress, NHL AU. It's in progress but It's really enjoyable so far, especially as it draws a lot of similarities to book moments, without being a copy.

Heartaches and Cupcakes and Sunshine Boys by @everwitch-magiks

anon: This was the first RWRB fic I read, and it's still my favorite! Henry as a writer (and her skill writing as Henry) and the emotional depth of this fic are things I need in every fic!

love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves by @kapplebougher

anon: I am simply OBSESSED with this oneshot, I scream about it to anybody that will listen. I come back and read it every time I read the climax of Alex and Henry's argument in London. It is Henry POV and the first time I read it I truly wondered if it was CMQ writing Henry fic on AO3. Not only does it build on the signet ring and give background on what it means to Henry and parallels it with his parents, but it also weaves fire/water symbolism for Alex/Henry. The thing that gets me is the quote at the end though. It's just like the queer historical quotes from the emails in the books and it makes the ending SO PERFECT it just makes me go feral. I wish I could give it all the kudos!

Picture On Your Corkboard by bleedingballroomfloor

anon: absolutely beautiful and a roller coaster of emotions. 100% recommended.

religion's in your lips (even if it's a false god) by @coffeecatsme

anon: NSFW but also incredibly good and i need everyone to appreciate billie's writing!!!

Someday We Will Be Home by witchseeker1133

anon: this fic is incredibly special to me bc it was one of the first ones i read. it is very angsty but i think its worth a read.

[telomeke]

Get to Know Me Tag :)

I was tagged by @lamonnaie at this post here. Thanks for tagging me! 😍 It was such fun to read your responses; now here are mine. 🥰

do you make your bed?

Never ever. I'm pretty messy, and if I don't watch my hoarding tendencies I will morph into the worst pack rat. But I like a bit of clutter around me; I think it helps my creative side since my output (whether at work, or writing on Tumblr) is always tidy and tidied up to a fault, which can stifle creativity (at least that's what I tell myself! 🤣).

what's your favourite number?

Don't have one. However (even though I like to think I'm not superstitious) if I can I'll try to avoid the number 13 and anything with 4 in it...

what is your job?

Not gonna get too specific, but my work involves design, project management and construction.

if you could go back to school, would you?

I was too stressed out at school to want to repeat the experience. But I wouldn't mind a bit of time travel back to advise my younger self not to take things so seriously! 🤣

can you parallel park?

Yes. Not well, but the car will be fully in the lot eventually. 👍

a job you had that would surprise people?

Some minor modeling jobs when I was younger. Hush! I don't like to talk about it. 🤫 You wouldn't think it to look at me now (me 🤝 Ricky Gervais 😂).

do you think aliens are real?

There are too many planets out there for our little blue marble to be the only habitable one, so yes I do think there are aliens out there. I just don't think we've been visited by them yet though! (Aylin doesn't count. 🤩)

can you drive a manual car?

Yes. Mom taught me how to drive in one... until the day I jammed on the accelerator when she said "Step on it" and I almost up-ended us into a ditch. Then I was sent to driving school instead. 🤣

what's your guilty pleasure?

Ooh. It's this bad boy here:

Sadly I've been over-indulging, so chocolate is now banned from the house for the foreseeable future. I'm still lusting after it though. Other guilty pleasures: I do like a good nightcap, so any (gluten grain-free) alcohol makes me light up – cognac, cabernet, sherry, sake, port... (But I don't always know my limits, so this is now banned too.) And a steamin', stonkin', trashy BL every now and then (bonus if there's a nice muscley actor for me to get all googly-eyed over – shoutout Gap Jakarin!). 😁🥰

tattoos?

I like art and have fanboyed over beautiful tattoos before – but I'm put off by the permanence of them, so I have none myself. Don't like the idea of not being able to change them much once they're inked in, because I will always be wanting to change things up if I were to get one. And no, even for looking at I prefer an uninked bod over an inked one. It takes a lot of work to get a body in shape, and I can't understand someone wanting to cover up the results of their hard work at the gym. 🤷‍♂️

favorite color?

A deep, rich blue most of the time. But when the mood hits, I like a bright, bold red too.

favorite type of music?

My tastes are a bit eclectic, leaning lighter and not challenging. Anything with a strong melodic line will get me hooked. Bonus points if the lyrics can come together with the melody to tell a story, and elevate it even more. So – pop mostly, but I also like R&B, soul, light jazz and the odd heartfelt country ballad or foot-stomper (go Queen Bey! 😍). Also like things with a nostalgic bent (I melt at Karen Carpenter, Seals & Croft, and England Dan & John Ford Coley). And then throw in a couple of show tunes in there for good measure! My YouTube playlist is all over the place – Sheila Majid, New Country, Renaissance, Nunew, Miley Cyrus, Streisand, Li'l Nas X, Ayumu Imazu, The Carpenters, Clean Bandit, so many others, all side-by-side.

do you like puzzles?

I love them, especially word and logic puzzles. I'm always shouting over Pat and Vanna. 🤣

any phobias?

Oddly, not the usual suspects, but I'm a bit phobic about birds. They're just creepy up close, even though I find them fascinating and beautiful with a bit of distance. While the bog-standard creepy-crawlies don't bother me one bit – I'm the one always getting called in to whack the roaches and chase away rodents. I dream of getting a cobalt blue tarantula as a pet (but that's not going to happen for various reasons, alas).

favorite childhood sport?

I wasn't that sporty growing up (classic bookworm) but I did enjoy a bit of soccer when I got to play. But I guess my favorite was probably swimming, though I didn't compete.

do you talk to yourself?

All the time. There's a nonstop monologue going on in my head and I've been known to startle people by accidentally voicing that conversation out loud. So I've learnt not to do it around others. 🤣 And no I'm not hearing disembodied voices; it's just me keeping myself company (plus I find it helps me focus my thoughts).

what movies do you adore?

My all-time favorite: Cinema Paradiso; it really pulls unabashedly at the heartstrings, but then again I'm a sentimental fool and love it all the more for that. That's also why I like Love Actually, especially the scene where the repressed Jamie (Colin Firth) travels to Portugal in order to confess his feelings to Aurélia (Lúcia Moniz), having realized he loves her despite the language barrier, and doggedly learnt Portuguese just to make his declaration – and then he finds out that she, lovelorn and bereft, learnt English just in case ("just in cases") he came back. 💖 And my second favorite is from the other end of the spectrum, actually quite a bit before my time as well: Hello Dolly! 😆 Don't judge... A couple of songs in there are really amazing – Love is Only Love and Just Leave Everything to Me especially (which are not in the stage version) are mindblowingly good. The former is almost pithy in its bare-boned purity, all about looking at love without sentimentality while reprising themes heard earlier on in the musical; the latter has the among the cleverest lyrics set to music I've ever heard:

Streisand is in fine fettle portraying a campier, more youthful incarnation of Dolly. Such a shame it was not better received. The costumes are spectacular too.

coffee or tea?

Coffee (or rather the caffeine it contains) is my drug of choice, and I drink buckets of it. But I like a good cuppa when I'm feeling nostalgic and/or sentimental, because tea is what I drank a lot of growing up – at my gran's there would be a perpetually-replenished, giant kettle of dark, bitterish Oolong on the sideboard for whenever you felt like some (which was often), while at home there was always a big pot of tea on the table in the morning, that would then be set to chill in the refrigerator after breakfast. I would always have an ice-cold milk tea with the papers when I got home from school, and it was my favorite daily ritual.

first thing you wanted to be growing up?

A paleontologist – like a lot of kids I loved dinosaurs, and I can still rattle off the names of the more well-known ones (including every one in Jurassic Park 👀). But that got pushed aside for more practical considerations later. Still wish I'd explored my second childhood ambition more though, which was to be a writer/journalist. Maybe that's why I like posting so much on Tumblr! 😍

Happy Mother's Day! Feat. Jaune's Future Children.

Ruby: You know Yang mother's day are coming...

Yang: Do you want to visit mom's grave afterward?

Ruby: Yes, I would like that...

Blake: (Damn this is getting dark all of a sudden. Where's Weiss when you need her.)

Then out from nowhere a girl around their age appears suddenly behind Ruby to loudly proclaim herself.

Scarlett: Hi mom it's me your favorite daughter! 😆

Ruby: Scarlett! And how do you even get here? 😮

Scarlett: Heh, heh... Trade secret. 😉

Ruby: So anyway. What brings you here? 🤨

Scarlett: We're here to meet you all, silly. 😜

Ruby: We, what do you mean by we?

Aurum: I think What little sister meant is that she's bringing us to celebrate mother's day.

Yang: OMG you remember about Mother's day. You're Aurum right. You're supposed to be my son from the future?

The man she's talking to tower over everyone in presence, much older than the rest of the group and encased in golden armor.

Aurum: That's right mother how have you been?

Yang: Oh fine... Shoot, I don't know how to act around you. You're supposed to be my son and all, but you're older than my dad.

Aurum: Ha, ha. I get that it would be confusing. But worry not Honored Mother. *kneels* No matter how you treated me I will always regard you with the up most respect.

Yang: Ah, please stop you're embarassing me...

Blake: Wait if Aurum and Scarlett are here then that means. My Dusky Wusky is here too!

Dusk: Mommy!!! *glomps on Blake*

Blake: *Squee* How is my beautiful baby girl. Your mama miss you so much!!!

Dusk: I miss you too mommy but please stop it. You're hurting me.

Blake: No I will not. Because you will just leave me again. Mama will never let you go. I will love you and cares for you for the rest of your life!

Dusk: Umuh...

Ruby: Okay... So what brings you here. Or is it when? Ah it's confusing I don't get how time travel sentences works. 😵

Scarlett: We're here for Mother's day!!! 😇

Ruby: Wow okay, but I though we already established that we are not really your Mother. We're from different timeline. So you don't have to celebrate it for us. 😞

Blake: Fuck That! Dusky Wusky is my baby and no one will take her away from me again.

Aurum: Lady Blake. Hold thine tongue! There's children here.

Yang: Blake out burst aside. Why are you celebrating with us. Should you go celebrate it with your real mom?

Scarlett: Well we did that already. But seeing that what we been through last time. We all think it just felt wrong not to celebrate it without everyone....

And speaking of which where's dad? I mean, where's Jaune?

Wow that's super weird calling my dad by his first name. I mean his other version's name. Oh I hate how parallel reality works! 😩

Ruby: Jaune? Oh we haven't see him much lately. Whenever we tried to approach him. He Immediately ran away from us. Can you believe it? 😢

Yang: Can't say I blame him. After everything that just happened. It would be weirder that he acted like nothing happened.

Blake: Whatever it is we should give him some time to process what happened. If he doesn't want to see us anymore then it's fine. We will respect his choice...

Scarlett: I understand. But anyway to get back on topic we have present for everyone here. 😎

Ruby: Present! Well why didn't you start with that. Of course we would like present. 🤯

Scarlett: He, he. For Ruby Rose here is a beautiful Rose from my brother and me. 😘

Ruby: Oh it's so beautiful. I love it. You and Aurum shouldn't have. 🥰

Scarlett: it's not from Aurum, silly. It's from MY brother. You also have a son too mom. 🤭

Ruby: 😮

Dusk: And I also want to give you this mommy.

I made it with daddy with crayon and macaroni.

Blake: *Gasp* it's so beautiful... I have the greatest mother's day gift known to Faunus and man. *cry*

Aurum: And "mother" dearest from me. I do not know what you like but you did use to tell me that when you Were young you used to like to ride on your bike. Something bee? Any way I have for you a brand new motorcycle.

Yang: Oh my gods! Oh my gods! Oh my gods! A brand new bike. I can't believe it. You made all the their mother day's present look like trash I love you Son!....

Uh, I mean. It's not what the present that count but the thought that matters...

Blake: Did you just said my daughter Mother's day present is trash!

Yang: Hey it's not a competition. Although if it were a competition. A Motorcycle beat Macaroni art hands down.

Aurum: Mother please. You're making things worse.

Lady Blake. I would like to apologize on my mother's behalf. I meant no disrespect with my gift to my mother.

It's just that I have so many siblings that I felt I have to match it in size.

Yang: Wait, many siblings. How many are we talking about?

Aurum: Ah, only around 12 with me included of course.

Blake & Ruby:

Yang: 12 Children! Curse my great child bearing hip.

Ruby: O-okay please stop! This is too much new informations to take. I can't. Wait a second isn't there supposed to be four of you?😱

Yang: Yeah the somehow even whiter version of Jaune. Victor. Weiss' son from the future.

Blake: As if that even possible. Jaune is pretty much as white as it can get.

Ruby: If this is a slander on my future baby's daddy then I would rather you keep it to yourself. 😠

Aurum: Not to worry Victor are also here to give his Mother's day present.

Yang: Didn't he tried to kill her the last time they met!?

Aurum: He gave me his word that he will not harm her.

Yang: H-he said that. And you just believed him?!

Aurum: Of course. He promise me after all.

Ruby: Wait. Where's Weiss?

Meanwhile

Victor: This is all your fault!!!!

Weiss: *choked* (Please someone save me. Ruby. Please save me Jaune...)

----------------------------------------------------------

Anyway here is my sorta sequel to my last fic. Go ahead and read it you want.

Part 1:

Part 2:

Oh yeah and Scarlett have an older brother. And no I didn't just add him out off nowhere. He had an unnamed cameo in an intermission fic I made a while back when I still have 40 followers:

If anyone asking what he is like think Jaune but with none of his insecurity and self loathing. Also he inherited Ruby's silver eyes. Nothing I'm sure.

And I know that someone will be asking where is Jaune in all of this and why is he avoiding team RWBY?

Well the answer is....

[heartstringsduet]

Sharing some more fic love on Valentine's. Here's my last Tarlos fic rec list with even more wonderful fic 🥰

If you want to show some love too, please comment on fics you read even if they're 'older'. I promise they make authors' days.💌 And my heart bleeds seeing how some fics get so little love. So here's my new love letter to counter that.

I Swear I Love You (Te Juro Que Te Amo) by @never-blooms S: Noche Buena takes a turn when two exes are forced to reunite. The writing is so lyrical I feel like I'm put on waves at times, gently rocking me. Characters that jump off the screen and TK and Carlos as exes having to pretend to be together still is a trope I never ever grow tired of.

balancing act by @reyesstrand S: A study of TK and Carlos sharing meals and falling in love.  My love for food is only paralleled by my love for words and this fic made me so emotional over both. Seriously can't put into words how beautiful and intricate this story is.

The Gift of You by @sprigsofviolets

S: TK Strand and Carlos Reyes have been happily married for five years. They are their own content, happy family. They weren’t looking to have kids, but when TK delivers a baby on a hard call, their family grows when they least expect it. I can't put into short words how very kind and thoughtful and in-character and heart-warming this fic is.

the square root of sixty nine by @liminalmemories21 S: Five times TK asked for consent, and one time Carlos did. So much depth in these intimate moments and also she proves consent is absolutely hot.

The Space in Between by @decafdino S: TK and Carlos are kidnapped, but they're together. A relationship study of Tarlos. It's embarrassing how much comfort I find in the constant re-read of this pretty angsty fic. But it delivers what it promises. It's a great study of their unwavering love intermixed with snippets of their pasts. The Sting by @goodways

S: Carlos is asked to help the FBI in a sting operation where he has to flirt with another man. His husband has something to say about it. Just one of her absolutely hilarious and sexy stories. Can never get over how much her dialogues sing.

Man to Man by @carlos-in-glasses S: In the aftermath of the house fire, Carlos recalls the night he came out to his parents. What can I say but that I'm obsessed with anything cig writes so I gotta praise the first fic I read of hers? Her entire expansive canon universe is outstanding.

A Helping Hand to Hold You Down by @cold-blooded-jelly-doughnut S: Things are not as they seem in the loft, and TK's evening will not unfold as he had planned... It's smutty and it's filled with love and it's a great great great portrayal of dom/sub exploration without it running smoothly.

Sustenance by @cinnaluminum S: TK has a rough shift and comes home to Carlos in the kitchen. Absolute mastery of tension and a lingering fight and trying to work it out. I can't stress how much I admire her writing.

come what may, I'll still stay by @strandnreyes

S: Nearly one year into their marriage and TK finds that life looks a little different these days with Carlos working as a detective. A really beautiful study of circumstances changing and growing and love persisting despite pain and grief.

(Un)professional Services by @rmd-writes and @welcometololaland S: The Tarlos Professional Services AU. Two absolutely great writers bringing us work-place fun and sexiness? Uhm, yes please! I love the dialogue, I love how the humor.

[bettyshoweduptotheparty]

I think we (kaylors) slept on Timeless a bit, because it got so overshadowed by the horny gay masterpiece that is ICSY. But I love this beautiful heartfelt song so much, and I think, if any Taylor Swift song could be a wedding song, it would be this one. And that made me think…

We know this song is not from speak now era originally, it was listed on an earlier reputation track list and then removed, so it’s essentially a rep vault track. Had it been on reputation, the parallels and references would have been obvious:

The narrator and lover's first meeting: “time stood still/in a crowded room a few short years ago” = Delicate and Dress (dive bar, touching hands in dark rooms, secret moment in a crowded room)

Romeo & Juliet reference: “story of a romance torn apart by fate” -> Love Story (Karlie’s favourite song and caption of their first ever public photo together)

In addition to the above: "I'd die for you in the same way" is reminiscent of peace (I'd die for you in secret), but also generally really meaningful when you think about queer couples throughout history and how some of them would have payed for their love with their lives. She's willing to risk it all for this love.

“Run away and left it all behind” = CIWYW (“would you run away with me” “yes”)

“Sometimes there’s no proof you just know” = No proof, not much, but you saw enough (YAIL)

“We’ll have a cardboard box of photos of the life we’ve made” - Karlie is a well known collector of polaroid photos and allegedly keeps them in a safe deposit box.

“You’ll say ‘Oh my, we really were timeless” Now this reminds me of Mary’s song because of the ‘oh my’. Mary’s song is a similar friends to lovers story of two people growing up, falling in love and then getting married and having children in that very same place. In this last verse Taylor is describing growing old with her lover and looking back on their lives together. Big ‘don’t read the last page, but I stay’ vibes. Also just cute that she mirrors her little childhood fantasy of marrying a childhood friend with her own friends to endgame lovers story 🥰

And lastly, the whole ‘what if’ concept of the song seems like something you’d do if you’re...say... a closeted celebrity. Wondering if you'd have an easier life if you were 'normal people'. I can imagine post-2016 election Taylor and Karlie in their little love blackout bubble doing this mental exercise, because when things suck, it must be temping to imagine how much easier it would be 'if only'... Would we even have met if we were normal people? Of course we would have, because we were destined to find each other in every universe and against all hardship, including this one. Song concept born :) The 'you're worth all the hardship' sentiment is also very Slut!-coded, aka 'if they slut-shame me, it might as well be worth it for once'. The way the chorus changes to list all the potential difficulties ("headed off to fight in the war/ forced to marry another man") also makes it clear that it really doesn't matter what challenge comes at them, they'll be together regardless. Come hell or high water (or in their case, contractual obligations or beards with dodgy political ties) we will end up together. So, bottom line, it's a really beautiful kaylor song and probably one that gets forgotten because it was on Speak Now tv.

Happy fortnight until TPD, guys! 😉

[jalwyn21]

I just read a swiftie say that liking Joe for his intelligence, manners and elegance is “sexist and classist” lmaoo they’re really saying random words at this point 🤣

No way! OMG! 😹 Oh, this is about to be a very long rant, Nonnie!

Let's address the classism first. Where do I even begin. Intelligence is the result of genetics and education. So, intelligence has nothing to do with classism. Money will buy you a book but won't read it for you. 🤓 You have to put in the work to actually have a good education. And you can have an excellent education without money. That's what libraries, bursaries and scholarships are for. Plenty of rich people out there, dumb and ignorant, because they won't do the work required for a good education. And even more people from a humble background who are very intelligent and well educated .

So Joe should absolutely be admired, liked and praised for his intelligence because he put effort into being the intelligent man he is today. Yes, he was born with a high IQ I'm sure and into a wealthy family, but it was HIS choice not to waste his potential and his privileges.

Now about his manners and elegance. One word for this is "gentleman". And, yes, Joe is a perfect gentleman. Manners maketh man, eh… 😼 This is 100% not a result of classism. This is completely a result of personal choices and personal efforts.

It's offensive to claim that only wealthy people can behave in a classy and elegant manner.

Joe wakes up every day and decides to be a kind and classy man, a gentleman. And I can't even imagine how hard it must be for him to be a gentleman some days, if you know what I mean. 🙄 And yet Joe does it every single day. 7 years and not a wrong step. Anyone can be good once, but Joe is good all the time. Every single day! We should absolutely like, admire and praise Joe for his beautiful character because he built the beautiful character he has now. And I'm sure he is still building.

You know what is classist? Mocking Joe for having less money than TS and TK. Or for taking the tube... That is classist.

And what on earth has sexism got to do with intelligence, manners or elegance. 🙄 All humans should work towards being intelligent and classy and having good manners. You should want to be the best human you can be. No?

This sounds like a swi*ftie got offended that people think TK is stupid and TS is tacky. I mean, if the glove fits… 🙄🙄🙄 Also it's an attempt at saying: don't hold adults responsible for their behavior, because… insert buzzwords… 🙄🙄🙄 Trying to drag Joe down to elevate your faves is pathetic. But then, swi*fties and shame are 2 parallel lines.

In conclusion, we should all like,admire and celebrate Joe for his intelligence, his impeccable manners and his dignity in all of this. He is earning our admiration every day. 🥰

Percy Weasley & Fleur Delacour Parallels

I mentioned that Percy & Fleur have several similarities in this post, so I figured I would expand on that idea to show how the books demonstrate parallels between these two characters, because I love them both. 🥰

The Basics

They are both feminine (see the above linked post about Percy)

They are both described in similar ways by Harry:

Harry glimpsed Fleur Delacour from time to time in the corridors; she looked exactly as she always did, haughty and unruffled.

&

“I’ve told Mr. Crouch that I’ll have it ready by Tuesday,” Percy was saying pompously.

Neither of them fly/play Quidditch:

“I’m taking Fleur on a thestral,” said Bill. “She’s not that fond of brooms.”

&

Five minutes later they were marching up the hill, broomsticks over their shoulders. They had asked Percy if he wanted to join them, but he had said he was busy. Harry had only seen Percy at mealtimes so far; he stayed shut in his room the rest of the time.

They both sing (though possibly not well):

Shortly after this, Fleur decided to imitate Celestina singing ‘A Cauldron Full of Hot, Strong Love’, which was taken by everyone, once they had glimpsed Mrs Weasley’s expression, to be the cue to go to bed.

&

"...I thought it sounded a bit like Percy singing . . . maybe you’ve got to attack him while he’s in the shower, Harry.”

Family

They are both mother hens to their younger siblings:

Percy, who looked very white and somehow much younger than usual, came splashing out to meet them. Meanwhile Madame Maxime was trying to restrain Fleur Delacour, who was quite hysterical, fighting tooth and nail to return to the water.

&

Percy seized Ron and was dragging him back to the bank (“Gerroff, Percy, I’m all right!”); Dumbledore and Bagman were pulling Harry upright; Fleur had broken free of Madame Maxime and was hugging her sister.

They both were outsiders with the Weasleys at one point (with some lovely name calling):

‘Whereas Bill and Fleur … well … what have they really got in common? He’s a hard-working, down-to-earth sort of person, whereas she’s –’ ‘A cow,’ said Ginny, nodding. ‘But Bill’s not that down-to-earth. He’s a curse-breaker, isn’t he, he likes a bit of adventure, a bit of glamour … I expect that’s why he’s gone for Phlegm.’

&

“We tried to comfort her,” said Fred, moving around the bed to look at Harry’s portrait. “Told her Percy’s nothing more than a humongous pile of rat droppings —”

They both moved past their differences with the Weasleys around the time of a battle that they fought in (Battle of the Astronomy Tower & the Battle of Hogwarts):

‘Our Great Auntie Muriel,’ said Mrs Weasley after a long pause, ‘has a very beautiful tiara – goblinmade – which I am sure I could persuade her to lend you for the wedding. She is very fond of Bill, you know, and it would look lovely with your hair.’ ‘Thank you,’ said Fleur stiffly. ‘I am sure zat will be lovely.’ And then – Harry did not quite see how it happened – both women were crying and hugging each other.

&

Mrs. Weasley burst into tears. She ran forward, pushed Fred aside, and pulled Percy into a strangling hug, while he patted her on the back, his eyes on his father. “I’m sorry, Dad.” Percy said. Mr. Weasley blinked rather rapidly, then he too hurried to hug his son.

Relationships

They both dated a Ravenclaw & snuck around Hogwarts to kiss them:

Fleur and Roger Davies had disappeared, probably into a more private clump of bushes.

&

“Well — Percy’s got a girlfriend.” Fred dropped a stack of books on George’s head. “What?” “It’s that Ravenclaw prefect, Penelope Clearwater,” said Ginny. “That’s who he was writing to all last summer. He’s been meeting her all over the school in secret. I walked in on them kissing in an empty classroom one day..."

Both of them had a partner that was attacked at Hogwarts, and Percy & Fleur were terrified for them:

As Professor McGonagall nodded, Harry felt Ginny move beside him and looked at her. Her slightly narrowed eyes were fixed upon Fleur, who was gazing down at Bill with a frozen expression on her face. ‘Dumbledore gone,’ whispered Mr Weasley, but Mrs Weasley had eyes only for her eldest son; she began to sob, tears falling on to Bill’s mutilated face.

&

Percy Weasley was sitting in a chair behind Lee, but for once he didn’t seem keen to make his views heard. He was looking pale and stunned. “Percy’s in shock,” George told Harry quietly. “That Ravenclaw girl — Penelope Clearwater — she’s a prefect. I don’t think he thought the monster would dare attack a prefect.”

They both act like a lovesick teenager over someone:

‘’E is always so thoughtful,’ purred Fleur adoringly, stroking Bill’s nose.

&

“I’m taking Fleur on a thestral,” said Bill. “She’s not that fond of brooms.” Fleur walked over to stand beside him, giving him a soppy, slavish look that Harry hoped with all his heart would never appear on his face again.

&

“Mr. Crouch?” said Percy, suddenly abandoning his look of poker-stiff disapproval and positively writhing with excitement. “He speaks over two hundred! Mermish and Gobbledegook and Troll . . .”

&

“Mr. Crouch!” said Percy breathlessly, sunk into a kind of halfbow that made him look like a hunchback. “Would you like a cup of tea?”

More About Their Personalities/Flaws

They both tend to brag about their accomplishments:

"...We ’ave all been ’oping to be chosen for weeks and weeks! Ze honor for our schools! A thousand Galleons in prize money — zis is a chance many would die for!"

&

Harry took the hint and sat down next to Percy, who was wearing brand-new, navy-blue dress robes and an expression of such smugness that Harry thought it ought to be fined. “I’ve been promoted,” Percy said before Harry could even ask, and from his tone, he might have been announcing his election as supreme ruler of the universe. “I’m now Mr. Crouch’s personal assistant, and I’m here representing him.”

They both get jealous of Harry having special privileges:

“If anyone’s got reason to complain, it’s Potter,” growled Moody, “but . . . funny thing . . . I don’t hear him saying a word. . . .” “Why should ’e complain?” burst out Fleur Delacour, stamping her foot. “ ’E ’as ze chance to compete, ’asn’t ’e?!"

&

“Madame Maxime!” said Fleur at once, striding over to her headmistress. “Zey are saying zat zis little boy is to compete also!”

&

When Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic himself, arrived, Percy bowed so low that his glasses fell off and shattered. Highly embarrassed, he repaired them with his wand and thereafter remained in his seat, throwing jealous looks at Harry, whom Cornelius Fudge had greeted like an old friend.

They both rant about criticisms of institutions/places:

Meanwhile Fleur Delacour was criticizing the Hogwarts decorations to Roger Davies. “Zis is nothing,” she said dismissively, looking around at the sparkling walls of the Great Hall. “At ze Palace of Beauxbatons, we ’ave ice sculptures all around ze dining chamber at Chreestmas. Zey do not melt, of course . . . zey are like ’uge statues of diamond, glittering around ze place. And ze food is seemply superb. And we ’ave choirs of wood nymphs, ’oo serenade us as we eat. We ’ave none of zis ugly armor in ze ’alls, and eef a poltergeist ever entaired into Beauxbatons, ’e would be expelled like zat.” She slapped her hand onto the table impatiently.

&

Percy Weasley, meanwhile, had much to say on the subject of Sirius's escape. "If I manage to get into the Ministry, I'll have a lot of proposals to make about Magical Law Enforcement!" he told the only person who would listen -- his girlfriend, Penelope.

They both criticize other people on multiple occasions:

‘She ’as let ’erself go, zat Tonks,’ mused Fleur, examining her own stunning reflection in the back of a teaspoon. ‘A big mistake, if you ask –’

&

In his eagerness to help her, he knocked the gravy boat flying; Bill waved his wand and the gravy soared up in the air and returned meekly to the boat. ‘You are as bad as zat Tonks,’ said Fleur to Ron, when she had finished kissing Bill in thanks. ‘She is always knocking –’

&

“Well, Father feels he’s got to make up for his mistake at the match, doesn’t he?” said Percy. “If truth be told, he was a tad unwise to make a public statement without clearing it with his Head of Department first —”

&

“Oh Bertha’s hopeless, all right,” said Percy. “I hear she’s been shunted from department to department for years, much more trouble than she’s worth..."

Silly Extra

On a funny note, when Fleur married Bill, he was the first Weasley sibling to tie the know, but Percy actually had the first reference to marriage out of all his siblings:

“I don’t reckon he’d come home if Dad didn’t make him. He’s obsessed. Just don’t get him onto the subject of his boss. According to Mr. Crouch . . . as I was saying to Mr. Crouch . . . Mr. Crouch is of the opinion . . . Mr. Crouch was telling me . . . They’ll be announcing their engagement any day now.”

🤣

In Conclusion

There's no real importance to these parallels; I just find them interesting! 😊

from anon: its not a/o/b, just parallel universe where man can get pregnant, maybe little angsty just for few moments

charles and max want kids and they both want to be that one person who will carry their baby!!! so every time they have sex they switch. finally after some trying charles gets pregnant. he is so smug that he will carry their first baby and max just rolls his eyes. but still they are the happiest couple in the whole world right now. since they found out about pregnancy after the last race, charles tells ferrari that he will not race for at least two years. both red bull and ferrari knows before announcement that there is the possibility of losing a driver for some time but they happy for them. red bull teases ferrari about that their driver won’t be part of races but they unite in tenderness for the couple

winter break starts so max and charles come back home to monaco and cats. charles still wants to go on his usual active vacation, but then his morning sickness starts so he cancels his plans to go to some mountain. during this period there are lots of paparazzi near their house because they don’t announce to the world their pregnancy, just some information that charles won’t be driving for the next season. it really bothers charles and his mood and health are getting worse so max decides to do some radical changes. charles always says that he wants to live on beach, so max finds beautiful house in greece and rent it. few days after they and cats secretly move from monaco. charles doesn’t know where they are going and is in a bad mood until max brought him to the house. he gets emotional and max says that now he just rents house but if charles likes it, he will buy it immediately!!! and charlie likes the house!!

after changing the atmosphere things starts being better!! charles feels better and baby is okay! cats protecting charles and love lie down on charles soft stomach!!! they have their baby ultrasound and hear heartbeat!! doctor says it a girl and both max and charles get emotional!!!

season starts, max buys the house and they start doing baby room!! at one of the last appearances to the hospital doctor says that charles has some risks due his child is big and his body is too small. after this max promises charles that he will be there for him despite everything!!! now cats have new favourite game, they lie down, purring and when little girl wakes up they touching charles bump in places where baby kicking!! max also loves lies down his head on charles stomach!! this moments are most important. its just five of them on the bed!

charles decides that he wants to give birth in monaco because his mom will be there if max won’t. and when time comes max really isn’t there, he’s on his way home from gp but still. charles have some really bad problems and he’s scary but door opens and he sees max runs and kisses his head while apologising for not being there in time. that’s the longest and most painful day in their lives, max tries to make him laugh and sometimes it works!! later that night doctor puts their beautiful daughter on charles chest. it’s emotional moment, their family now five members!!

girl looks like max so much and charles jokes that the next baby will be his copy

charles says that max will carry their next baby and max just agrees. three or four years later they have their second baby girl!! and charles was right, baby number two looks exactly like him

ps from anon: i don’t know what is this, i just want something comfort hehe

Thank you for sharing anon and sorry it took so long to come back to you - but I wanted to share with everyone. Max and Charles both getting pregnant is the best of both worlds 🥰 they would have the most adorable babies I am sure.

If you saying Jonsa is not happening GRRM didn't write anything for them, how you shipping Jonerys 🤣 There's nothing for Jonerys, and Jon still cares for Sansa and thinks of her. He has written something for Jonsa and nothing for Jonerys.

I mean, Jon and Dany haven't met yet, they haven't heard of each other, they don't know of each other, they don't know the other person exists yet.... Why would they think of each other?

Jon and Sansa do know of each other. They grew up in the same castle. They are half siblings. And yet Jon can't spare a single thought of worry or concern for Sansa's situation, where she is and her status in being married to Tyrion Lannister.

That's the point.

I have seen some try to justify this as Tyrion is not bad as Ramsay and that is why Jon is not worried and all that, and yet! Sansa was still a political hostage forced into marriage by the Lannisters, she's alive and somewhere in Westeros, Stannis is actually mentioning Sansa in their conversation and yet we get nothing, nada, zilch, zero.

Same with Sansa. She's playing a pretend bastard in the Vale and not once does she recall her bastard half-brother, instead confessing to having forgotten about his existence until Myranda Royce brings up his name.

There's no way I am shipping two characters who care so little for each other. It's the emotional bonds that matters to me - loyalty, love, concern, worry - that's what I find attractive in relationships rather than superficial notions of beauty, subjective chemistry and 'they look hot together'. That's why I generally tend to favour platonic relationships - friendships, siblings, found family, brotherhood, sisterhood.

It's clear that as an author GRRM is not invested in Jon and Sansa's relationship in the books. Sansa matters to Jon in the wider context of family and Winterfell - she is tagged on at the end when he thinks about all of his family or when he refers to his sisters being alone in KL. The little we hear of Sansa from him is the typical Sansa characterization of liking enchanted beauty like the Wall or her telling him to praise a girl's name. That's it. There's no emotional weight behind their relationship, no intimate moments between them. They don't think fondly of each other, Jon never shows up in Sansa nostalgic memories of her family and Jon is actually surprised that while missing his family, he missed 'Even' Sansa.

If the author was building some grand romance then he would actually throw in those hints in the actual books!! That's how a writer organically builds up a relationship.

Jon and Dany have not even met and yet Jon keeps referring to dragons and Dany sees the blue rose all the way over at the Wall while being called a bride of fire!! That's actual foreshadowing! That's how it's done.

There's actual parallels of them as leaders. There's parallels of them at the ends of their worlds trying to reform and help people. They are close in age, in maturity, in thinking and goals. They are Targaryens, they are each other's type beyond just looks and beauty, there is prophecy connected to them, they have magical pets, they will be essential to saving the world.

You read all this and then go 'But snow fell on Sansa's face in the Vale...Jonsa is so real in the books 🥰' and then call it 'Sansa hate' if I laugh at it, then so be it.

Taylor swift Songs and lyrics that are Trystan and mc coded (my mc’s name is Taylor)

To all the girls you loved before- Specially the lines “your past and mine are Parallel lines, stars all aligned and they intertwined” I don’t think I have to explain this one lol.

Begin again- I know we don’t really know if mc had a relationship with anyone before Trystan came in the picture but the lines “ I think it’s strange that you think I’m funny because he never did” meeting Trystan was her new beginning she can be herself around him and she likes that he likes her for her.

Daylight- this is more about Trystan feels about mc “ my love was as cruel as the cities I’ve lived in, everyone looked worse in the light, there are so many lines I’ve crossed unforgiven, I’ll tell you the truth but never goodbye” 🥺

I think he knows 🤭😏 “ I think he knows when we get all alone I’ll make myself at home and he’ll want me to stay” or “ he’s so obsessed with me and boy I understand” because mc is cocky she knows she’s got it going on.

King of my heart- I don’t think I have to explain this one lol. “ I’m perfectly fine I live on my own I made up my mind I’m better off being alone, we met two weeks ago now you try on calling me “baby” like trying on clothes, salute to me I’m your American queen and you move to me like I’m a Motown beat and we rule the kingdom inside my room” technically we’re in Trystans room but you get the point

Call it what you want- I feel like this could be about how they are with each other “ my baby’s fly like a jet stream high above the scene loves me like I’m brand new”

Snow on the beach- “ we’re falling like snow on the beach weird but fucking beautiful”

Labyrinth- this is how mc felt when she realized she was falling for Trystan “ uh oh, I’m falling in love again, oh no I’m falling in love, I thought the plan was going down how’d you turn it right around. 🥰

Hi, it's the “love is a dagger” anon again! I hope you're having an amazing day! Firstly, I wanted to say thank you so much for making the gifset I requested!!

Secondly, I wanted to point out how, judging by their shape and design, the daggers Mobius had in his locker and gave to Loki for protection in 1x2 were most likely the same ones Loki lost to the Bifrost on the sacred timeline. The daggers, just like Loki, were once lost to time and space but then they were found and cherished by Mobius. It takes the entire metaphor to a whole new level and further cements the fact that the quote is specifically in relation to lokius. 🥺

You don't have to if you don't want to, of course, but a gifset of this connection between the daggers in the Loki series and the daggers in the Thor movies and how they relate back to lokius would be very nice to see, especially with how beautiful your gifsets always are!!

Hey again 🗡️ anon, lovely to hear from you!! The day has been a great one so far, hope the same for yours and had a wonderful time making your set 🥰

Completely agree with your observation about the daggers Mobius kept and tried to return to Loki being the ones lost on the sacred timeline, then considering what we know about how the TVA frowned upon personal artifacts or really anything at all to define individualization or connection outside work it means all the more for Mobius to have made a point of seeking out one of the few items Loki found comfort and identity in to treasure 🥺

As to your new request, first of all tysm for the compliment about my gifs, it's truly appreciated and I'd be more than happy to build on more Lokius parallels but (and I always feel a little sheepish confessing this LOL) I've... not actually seen any Thor movies, or hardly any of the MCU outside a bit of phase 1 + The Avengers and some clips involving Bruce and Vision so the irony of being caught up waiting for glimpses of Mobius for eternity isn't lost, trust me 😅😂 If you have any specific scenes or moments from the movies in mind though please feel free to let me know!

[gloomy0x0phantom]

Bro, the movie was so good 😭

Law was fucking hot in the final outfit, I want him so bad.

Usopp and his dad connexion, hello??? (THE USE OF THE HAKI WAS INSANE, even if the movie is not canon... I don't care. MY BOI CAN FIGHT.)

Brulee, always beautiful and perfect 🥰🤭

Charlotte's single frame gave me life. 👍

I really like Uta's character, especially when she slowly starts to lose her mind. The facial expressions were frightening. :') I'm very surprised to discover that so many people don't like her. I can understand why, but honestly, she was a very interesting antagonist! I have a theory about the hatred around her… I think some fans just can't accept that Shanks has a daughter. You know, the kind of people who say "She doesn't deserve to be his daughter, she's not strong enough, it's just fan service, Oda wanted to please the girls!" Des idiots jaloux ❤

BEPO. HOLY MACARONI, BEPO. I'd have loved to see him more present and fighting, but I'm glad I got to see him as a chibi lil cutie. His voice melted my heart. I want to hug him and give him lots of kisses (you know what to expect in the fic Nightmare... 👀) Also, I saw that there is a plush of Bepo from the movie, I absolutely plan to buy it!

The final fight was incredible. I have a weakness for scenes where there's a parallel between two characters, two scenes, two universes. When Shanks' and Luffy's faces blended together, phew, I was happy!

The animation was magnificent. I'm no expert in the field, but in my eyes, it was very pretty and well done! However, I didn't like when Uta danced in 3D, it looked like a video clip from Gorillaz's fourth phase, it was meh. But I think this use is very popular for vtubers and singers like Hatsune Miku?

I didn't know Ado before this film, and her voice is very pretty. It was a bit funny when Uta was singing as a child and it was a grown-up's voice coming out. 😭 This is my personal opinion, but I would have been very curious to hear DAOKO replace Ado.

Oda's art for Ado is just gorgeous! When I first saw this art, I thought it was a new manga character! I wanted so much to learn more about her 😭

But... I don't really like the ending.

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER

It pisses me off that the film isn't canon and that Uta will never appear in the manga. At the end of the film, it's obvious that Uta is dead, several signs are present. But personally, I prefer to think that Shanks lied to keep the marine away. Uta isn't dead, Shanks had another remedy on the boat and they staged a fake funeral so that no one would have any doubts.

Koby was okay... I never like him, but I guess he was fine. 💀 Also, that made me laugh so hard for no reason:
