Hii 😍
I saw these fall pics and thought of you. Maybe they’ll inspire a fic or an edit (no pressure 🥰)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hi again! I was planning to answer this with the fic itself but after deciding to set the fic aside for now, I knew I couldn't leave this unanswered any longer!
Definitely using these photos as inspo for my fic and edit! Will let you know when I do ☺ thank you so much for sending these to me, hope you have a wonderful day/night 🧡

Reblogging this fic because this is one (if not THE very first fic) of the first fics I read from you + it's where you got to meet the Crow of Judgement™ (it's currently resting today, especially since there will be no judging here!)!! And then the rest is history 🤩
But seriously...this fic?? With Sam going home and acting the way he did, making it seem like it's one thing when really it's ANOTHER??? I love iiiiit I love it I love it I love iiiiiiit 💅🏻

Book: The Nanny Affair
Pairing: Sam Dalton x MC (Brynn Schuyler-Dalton)
Word Count: 657 (+/-)
Warning: language; angst; Dirty Dalton
A/N: I was super excited this past weekend to issue an impromptu angst prompt challenge to several of my TNA-fan friends, and boy, did it get fun and deliciously intense (the submissions are on WattPad; if you would like to read through the ficlets, let me know!)! I thought I would share my prompt and submission with my tumblr family! Special thanks to the lovely @kat-tia801 for pre-reading! My prompt that was chosen at random: "You... you never had a problem with it before."
***
The sweet smell of lemon and basil greet him at the elevator doors. As he stumbles into the foyer of his pristine penthouse home, he catches a glimpse of his disheveled appearance in the reflection of a large framed family picture hanging on the entryway wall. Sam quickly finger-combs his waves into submission as he slips off his crooked tie.
He freezes when he hears the sudden roar of laughter coming from his dining room. He shakes his watch around his wrist. He texted Brynn that he wouldn't be home for dinner hours ago. It's now close to 9:30, and-- another exuberant resound of chuckles and squeals echo from the other room, including two little voices that should be in bed.
Sam abandons his briefcase with his trenchcoat on the marble breakfast nook before he bounds to the dinner table.
"There he is!" announces Robin, lifting a glass of pinot.
"Hey, baby!" Brynn delightfully greets, "did you--?" Her words muffle as Sam zeroes in on the arm resting casually on the back of his wife's chair, an arm connected to his newly hired laboratory supervisor, Dr. Casey Stevenson. Even though Sam had the ultimate say in his employment, Brynn would be Casey's boss. Also a UMass alum, she was impressed with his research and credentials; Sam jealously noticed his physique and charm.
Sam is brought back to reality with his eleven-year-old twins tackling him with hugs. "Go get ready for bed," he callously demands, pulling the boys off of him.
"But, Dad--"
"Go. Now." Sam's voice becomes louder, gruffer, causing the room to fall silent.
"Oh, c'mon, Sammy, it's Friday night--" chimes in Robin, chuckling into another sip of his wine.
"Baby, is everything okay--?" Brynn gently stands, reaching for his neck.
"Robin, I think it's time for you to leave," interrupts Sam, dodging his wife. He points an accusatory finger at Casey. "Take him with you."
"Samuel," Brynn warns, frowning in shock.
"Dude, Sam," Robin stands up, clapping Sam on his shoulder. "Loosen up. Let me get you some wine. Casey has this hilarious story about--"
"Get the fuck out of my house," Sam snarls, "now."
Casey gingerly wipes his mouth with a cloth napkin, nodding at Robin. "Thank you for the lovely hospitality, Brynn." He stands, exiting the stifling room with Robin by his side. "See you Monday, Mr. Dalton." Sam's jaw twitches as he fixes his eyes onto his wife, listening for the elevator to close.
Brynn begins to collect the dessert plates, carefully not looking at Sam. As she turns to exit to the kitchen, he puts his arm out, stopping her. "You're not to host men over here for dinner unless I'm here."
Brynn smirks, furrowing her brows as she pushes past Sam. "You," she scoffs, "you never had a problem with it before--"
"Well, now I do," Sam barks. Brynn glares at Sam before rolling her eyes. "I'm serious, Brynn. Don't pretend for one moment I don't know what's going on--"
Brynn drops the silverware into the sink, turning her attention to her husband. "What the fuck has gotten into you? You really think I'd throw this--" she steps closer, motioning her hand back and forth between their bodies, "--us, our love, our marriage away? For that?" She chuckles, the idea being completely preposterous to her.
Sam begins to anxiously chew on his bottom lip, beads of sweat gathering on his brow as he breaks his gaze away from his wife's stormy blue eyes. "Hey," her voice becomes smoother as she slips her arms around his neck. "Look at me." She lovingly pecks his lips, but she can sense the tension. "Sam, I love--"
And that's when it hits her. Brynn's eyes grow wide as the subtle feminine smell of Chanel No. 5 wafts from his clothes, from his hair and even his skin. Her body grows limp as she realizes her husband isn't accusing her of anything.
He's confessing.

Aaaand I'm late 💀 I am so sorry for that gaaaah but I do not want the week to end without me joining @choicesfandomappreciation's Choices Spread Kindness Celebration, especially since the first day celebrated fandom love!
I want to thank the entire fandom for basically existing! I always thought playing/reading Choices is such a niche thing (I think it definitely was at first but ofc there are a lot of us now) that I couldn't find a place comfortable enough to talk about it or create stuff for it UNTIL I found y'all! I have met a lot of people along the way--and I still am meeting more and more of everyone here--which is amazing because it makes me feel less alone in the world. Thank you so much for the memes and the shitposts, all the fanfics and the edits, and everything else in between. You all are awesome 💙
Next, I want to mention the people I have met along the way as you have been the sweetest, kindest, most awesome human beings ever! @txemrn @peonierose @writing-not @socalwriterbee @ladylamrian @kingliamsbitch @lahelasaveiro @rice-wiife @gaydinosaurbananamilkcarton @jerzwriter @sincerelyscarring @alexabeta @peonyblossom @korgbelmont @littlee-sparkle @lahelasaveiro you are all amazing people! I'm super happy and grateful to have met you!
I also want to thank the following blogs for helping keep the fandom alive @itlivesproject @nightboundthesecond @thedistantshoresproject @immortaldesiresproject @choicesficwriterscreations @wip-wipeout-weekend @choicesmonthlychallenge @moodmusicmonday @openheartfanfics @thenannyaffair-fanfics @edgewaterbookclub @playchoicesconfessions @openheartconfessions @choicesflashfics and of course, @choicesfandomappreciation! (special shoutout to @lovealexhunt for this beautiful event 💗)
Thank you so much for the love. Y'all are awesome ✨

What the fuck what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck-
Tumblr media
WHAT IN ACTUAL HELL IS THIS
(Link to the article)
Why.
Why the hell Is the Philippines (my country) placing down a law that pointlessly "protects" Cishet people's rights?
Cishet people aren't oppressed
They don't need these kinds of laws in place
Not to mention that it is heavily implied that any Cishet people can ridicule members of the LGBTQIA+ because it's within their "rights"
And they pulled Christianity into the reasoning which should not be a part of it in the first place.
WHAT. THE. FUCK.
Not only are women in the Philippines not allowed to have abortions, divorce isn't legalized, and gay marriage isn't even a thing... They just had to make a stupid pointless law that said people wont even benefit from because they aren't oppressed in the first place.
Sorry for the out of place rant and politics, especially since I post Goddamn fanart, but holy shit this is just too outrageous for me to not speak up about it.

Pro Tip: The Way You End a Sentence Matters
Here is a quick and dirty writing tip that will strengthen your writing.
In English, the word at the end of a sentence carries more weight or emphasis than the rest of the sentence. You can use that to your advantage in modifying tone.
Consider:
In the end, what you said didn't matter.
It didn't matter what you said in the end.
In the end, it didn't matter what you said.
Do you pick up the subtle differences in meaning between these three sentences?
The first one feels a little angry, doesn't it? And the third one feels a little softer? There's a gulf of meaning between "what you said didn't matter" (it's not important!) and "it didn't matter what you said" (the end result would've never changed).
Let's try it again:
When her mother died, she couldn't even cry.
She couldn't even cry when her mother died.
That first example seems to kind of side with her, right? Whereas the second example seems to hold a little bit of judgment or accusation? The first phrase kind of seems to suggest that she was so sad she couldn't cry, whereas the second kind of seems to suggest that she's not sad and that's the problem.
The effect is super subtle and very hard to put into words, but you'll feel it when you're reading something. Changing up the order of your sentences to shift the focus can have a huge effect on tone even when the exact same words are used.
In linguistics, this is referred to as "end focus," and it's a nightmare for ESL students because it's so subtle and hard to explain. But a lot goes into it, and it's a tool worth keeping in your pocket if you're a creative writer or someone otherwise trying to create a specific effect with your words :)

writing reminders
it's ok to write only for yourself
it's ok to not share your writing with the world
it's ok to want validation
it's ok to write self-indulgent stories
it's ok to write only one genre
it's ok to share your writing regardless of your skill
it's ok to praise your own writing
it's ok to abandon wips
it's ok if you don't write every day
it's ok if you write fanfiction (because people who claim it isn't real writing is wrong)
it's ok to use clichés
it's ok to have a bad day of writing
it's ok to be a slow writer
it's normal to have days in which you doubt the things you write, that doesn't mean you're a bad writer
it's ok to ask for feedback
it's ok to cringe at your old writing
it's ok to hype up your writing online
it's ok to celebrate your achievements

Hiya! Since we have reached the end of WWW, I want to share a couple of parts from my two current* WIPs, Standing Right Here and Hey, You. You can find them below!
*I decided to table Coming Home to You for now!
Tumblr media
About fic: M!Robin Flores x MC/Marina Acuña; Sequel to Alone Together, set post-Chapter 16; Series: Slow burn, Current chapter: Friendship
Always quick to say something, he opens his mouth to reply, but whatever thought he must have had leaves his mind as my words seep into him. And though it is quite small, I notice his face falling to a frown. Good.
A second passes in silence, then another, and I am just about ready to actually send a discreet text to Jenny and ask her to call me when Robin sighs. “If it makes you feel any better,” he says, his voice suddenly soft, “Sofia doesn’t believe me.”
She never told him anything, it seems. “She clearly does.”
Tumblr media
About fic: Ian Kingsley x MC/Augusta Hughes; Set in the future post-Book 1 (events in Book 2 did not occur); How We Got Here, Closure
I turned around, and true enough, there you were. Standing at the entrance of the garden, and it was though we were meeting for the first time again. It must have been, in a way. Eighteen months were enough, I found, for the whole world to start over. To rewind itself back to the very beginning and press play.
Only now, I didn’t know how to act. A flush of warmth crept all over me. My hands had grown sweaty and shaking. I felt my heart pound against my chest. My legs stood their ground, even when I so wanted them to move. I wished desperately to the stars above that you would not come to notice any of these. That you will never know they were all because of you.
------
WIEEEEE It's so good to write something again! I'd like to thank @wip-wipeout-weekend again for the event. It really did help me work on my WIPs, and I got to meet new people there who I am super excited for bc they have their own projects too! This was super awesome 💗
If you have any questions about the WIPs, feel free to send an ask or a message! Hope you all have a great day/night!
~ Issa

Yay! I’m super happy that I not only made some significant progress in my WIPs, but I was also able to meet and talk to other members of the fandom! Thank you so so so much for this event, @wip-wipeout-weekend ! I absolutely loved it, and maybe we can have more of this soon ☺️
I’ll be posting snippets of the two WIPs I was able to work on in a bit! I can’t wait to read what everyone has made 💖
That's a Wrap!
Tumblr media
.... and we're done!
I really hope this weekend has been helpful to you in some way. Whether you were able to progress in your writing, just clear your head and get ideas flowing, or if you made a new friend in the fandom.
Let me know your thoughts about the event. I'd love to hear them.
If you want to share your progress here, please feel free to!
Don't forget!
Share what you worked on this weekend:
Fics you finished
Fics you edited/rewrote
Snippets/sneak peeks of works that are still in progress
I will put together a masterlist to share tomorrow in case people are still working on writing tonight.
I loved having writing buddies and getting to know some of you better! Thank you so much for participating.

Ooooh I made this playlist for when I study/write (or just lie down and stare at the ceiling) and was listening to it while writing! Here are some songs from said playlist:
SNAPSHOTS!
Tumblr media
WOW! We're almost done!
And this is a reminder that you should be proud of any progress made this weekend! Even if a word wasn't put on paper, but you cleared your mind so that you can better focus in the days ahead. I know we all tend to be hard on ourselves (I have a degree in that! lol) so this is an important reminder for all!
Share a snapshot of your weekend.
It could be a photo ... of anything, your work area, your pet that kept you company, that perfect latte you got to keep you going - literally anything.
It could be a story... fictional or real. Share a snippet of the work you have done, or share a funny story about something that happened while writing.
It could be a song... something that shares your current feelings.
It's all up to you!
