Response to this ask
-------
Stanford stood somewhat in the distance. He propped himself up on his own cane as he stared at the blond man before him. The outfit he'd chosen for the night made him a bit difficult to see in the shadows even if it was not his intention but he couldn't say he minded that fact.
He straightened his back a bit as he eyed the distant stranger for a moment before he turned to the side slightly as he made no effort to mask any sound he made. It wasn't some stealth mission after all it was just a nightly stroll during the cool night. But that didn't mean he wasn't cautious in the least bit. After all one must always act as if they are being watched at all times. Regardless if they were or weren't.
Stanford made no effort to reply. He simply wasn't feeling it. Instead, he sighed as his body relaxed for a moment. The strange blue-clad man didn't sense danger so he assumed he'd be fine for the moment at least.

(He didn't)

#i should've just gatekept scott thompson from my college bc the way my college is treating me right now is bullshit#like i don't even want to do the scott event anymore bc of how they're treating me but i kind of have to#and i know i should be grateful they're even letting me be one of the interviewers but i hate being a student so much#i hate how nobody respects my opinion or input or experience even tho i'm literally the reason scott's even doing this event#(and ESPECIALLY the reason he's willing to do it for free!!)#and it especially stings bc scott has never made me feel like my insights were worth less because i'm a student#like he's always been one of the few people who consistently treat me like we're equals even tho he doesn't have to#and the way my college is treating me. it's like they don't trust me to not be an annoying little kid#like they're just assuming scott doesn't respect me so they don't have to respect me either#i mean on the plus side i'm supposed to have another phone call with scott either today or tomorrow so i can probably explain the situation#like i don't want to make him feel negatively about my college i want him to have a good time#but this treatment is genuinely fucking with my self confidence#and also maybe i can harness scott's power to hear ''don't talk about this thing'' and immediately make the interview all about this thing#(except in this case it would be him treating me like an equal instead of a random student)#and there's a bunch of bullshit currently going on with the class i have right after the event#so even tho originally i was like ''awesome i have the perfect schedule to bring scott to all of my classes!!''#i might just ask scott if he wants to skip class together and hang out. like i never promised that class anything#the only thing i *have* to do is the interview. the class we'd be skipping is already being like#''oh are you sure scott wants to visit the class i don't want to take him away from a better use of his time''#and scott was genuinely excited to see what my classes were like!! even if y'all didn't treat him like a big celebrity!!#but y'know what i'm sure scott does have a better use of his time. and i do too.#i'm gonna do the interview event bc i have to (we're in too deep at this point)#and i might ask scott if he wants to talk to that freshman film class about the buddy cole doc#bc 1. they offered to pay scott for that (they can't legally pay me but that's why i made the joke about money laundering)#2. since it's about the doc it's the one class where i get to be treated like an actual person#but other than that. damn it i was excited to share this part of my life with scott but fuck that this part of my life sucks#i'm gonna have a good time with scott in boston and my college is only going to be as much a part of is as they have to be#because we ARE friends (scott said so!) and i AM a brilliant filmmaker (bruce said so!) and i DO have potential (bellini said so!)#even tho it is hard to internalize those things after how much yesterday fucked me up. but that's ok scott will call again soon

Proposal AU
Thena takes care of a very exhausted Gil!
Something sweet and soft 🤭
Gil groaned, trying to turn his face away from the light.
"It's almost over."
He blinked, finding his nose buried in a head of blonde brighter than sunshine. He could have just nestled in further, which was damn tempting of course. But he groaned, adjusting in the...hammock?
"You know, you're actually quite lucky," Thena continued in a whisper. Her fingers ran through his hair. "Had I not joined you here, I'm sure your mother or sisters would have no trouble awakening you for what is actually our own party. But with me in here as well, everyone thinks we're too wrapped up in pre-marital snuggling to bother you."
"You're doing an awful lot of talking for someone determined to let me sleep."
She gave his cheek a poke. "I know very well you're awake. You stopped snoring."
"I do not snore," he grumbled, moving his head so she could pull away and look at him. He pouted.
"You snore a little," she broke it to him gently at least, poking his lip back into place. "But I'll forgive you because you're so exhausted."
He yawned completely reflexively, but he at least pressed it into the shoulder of her cardigan. "How long?"
"A couple of hours."
That scared him. He jolted, not that it did much in their hanging basket arrangement. "No."
Thena nodded, though, confirming the statement that had sent fear shooting through him. "Just over two hours, assuming I found you relatively close to when you fell asleep."
"Thena, no," he groaned again, attempting to drown himself in the fabric suspending them off the ground. "No, no, no--my mom worked her ass off for this party, I can't have been asleep for that long."
"Sh," Thena hushed him from those soft lips again. She was being awfully tender with him. "I told her that I was the one who lulled you into sleep. If anyone is to blame, it's me."
He whimpered, though. "I'm a bad son."
"On the contrary," she had the nerve to laugh at him when he was upset. "You are the son who cooked every morsel of food at this party. If you happened to spend most of it in a hammock with your own fiance, I can't imagine she would have anything to say about it."
Well, she had a point. He did cook all of the food. And Ajak was always telling him to try and relax - with Thena - more. He sighed again, unfolding his arms from around himself and resting one over the curve of Thena's waist. "Guess I can't argue with that."
"You haven't missed much," she informed him. "Ajak announced how pleased she was for us."
Gil snorted, pulling Thena closer to him as a breeze rocked the hammock faintly. "That wasn't what she said when I first told her. Nearly took my ear off demanding to know why I hadn't said anything until now."
"You have a lovely family, Gil."
He opened his eyes again to look at the woman in the hammock with him. Some of their relatives had arrived early for this party. They were distant, some more family friends than anything. But it was certainly an escalation to their little lie. They were having to do couple-y things more often. A 'love you' here, a 'missed you' there. A brush of his hand over her shoulder--that kind of thing. He smiled, "are you actually in here avoiding them?"
Thena didn't deny it, which was basically a confirmation. She slid her hands up his chest and nestled her head closer again, approaching a position to tuck it under his chin. "Your mother knows a staggering number of people."
Gil chuckled, tucking her against him so she wouldn't have to close the gap herself. She happily accepted his invitation, practically settling into him like a cat in a sunbeam. "Sorry I left you to handle them all yourself."
"I gave up rather quickly," she lamented. "Said I had to find you to ask you something for the wedding. It worked to help me avoid anyone for nigh on half an hour."
"We're both bad hosts."
"Indeed," Thena agreed, not seeming all that upset about it. She sighed, her hot breath hitting his throat. "I'll apologise to your mother later."
"I'm pretty sure you can do no wrong in her eyes," he assured her. He had just had a pretty solid nap, but it was way too comfortable to continue lying there with Thena to even think about trying to roll out of the swaying hammock. "You'll be her first daughter-in-law. To her only son, no less. An eldest son I'm pretty sure she was getting worried wouldn't be settling down at all."
"Hm."
"Hey," he called to her before she could slide down that slippery slope of regret. He rubbed small circles in her back, "don't worry about it."
She didn't say anything else, but one of her hands slipped around his side and to his back, clutching a fistful of his shirt. She pressed her face into his shoulder.
He sighed, ready to settle into sleep again, feeling the familiar position of Thena cuddled up to him. He was nearly there when he heard a grating voice getting closer and closer.
"Yoohoo!--lovebirds?"
Gil kept his eyes closed, not in the mood for his showboat cousin who probably wanted to make some dramatic speech about them or drag him up in front of everyone.
"Gil, mom's lookin' for you!"
Thena stirred but he cradled the back of her head with his hand and held the small of her back. "It's a trap."
She puffed out some air at his joke before whispering, "diabolical."
"Very," he whispered back, eyes still closed.
"Here they-oh!"
Gil resisted the urge to tell his brother - in every way that mattered - to fuck off and not wake his fiance. He held Thena firmly, determined to appear asleep.
"It's so sweet!"
"Let them rest, you two--Makkari, put the stick down!"
His youngest sister was no doubt about to poke him in the face with it. His sweet and elegant mother had raised a bunch of animals.
He only cracked his eyes open when he heard them padding away, complaining why he got to skip out on the party duties, like entertaining guests and cleaning up as things started coming to a close.
"We can't sleep in here all night, you know."
"Why not?" he grinned, immediately pulled back into the little world that was the high sides of the hammock bending around his weight. "It's comfy."
"I would hardly call this lumbar support," she argued, although he was pretty sure she wasn't that far from dozing off herself. "And what if it rains?"
"We're in the trees, it's fine," he laughed. They weren't exactly in the depths of the wooded area surrounding the house, but they were away from everything else enough that they weren't the easiest to find in here.
"Gil," she scolded, but made no attempt to get up, or even separate herself from him.
"Mom wouldn't let that happen," he reassured, although it made her go quiet again. "Fine, just a few more minutes."
"Five, not a second more."
"Deal," he smiled. She sounded like she did when they were at work. It felt so far away, they'd been here so long. Not that they didn't deserve the break. And Thena had even more paid time off than he did. He was pretty sure she never took a day off.
Unless she was sick. In which case he would rush home from work and cook up his most healing chicken soup and noodles for her.
Thena didn't stir as he pressed a kiss to her cheek. If anything, she nestled closer to him, "five minutes."
"Five minutes," he repeated, moving his lips down her cheek, closer to her lips. He didn't close the distance quite yet, but Thena didn't pull herself away either. And he didn't need the next five minutes to make his decision.
It was chaste, just the barest brushing of lips against lips. It was like a peck. Thena didn't make any sudden moves or any sounds at all. Only she could lie perfectly still and straight postured in a hammock. "Was that your attempt at bartering?"
He grinned, their heads still too close to really see each other, breath mixing and lips twitching to meet again. "Depends if it worked."
"No."
"Fine," he conceded, moving his hands to her cheeks. He gave her another little peck before she tucked herself into the crook of his neck again. This was just another couple-y thing to add to the list, apparently. Not that he minded.
#Thenamesh Proposal AU#always love coming back to this one#poor Gil#he's a hard working boi#he cooks and prepares all the food#he sets out appetizers and mini sandwiches and desserts and fancy cut fruit#then he makes it maybe ten minutes into people arriving#he says hi to everyone thanks them for coming#accepts their well wishes about his wedding to his beautiful fiance#which he agrees with#then he slithers off and falls into the hammock#a few minutes he thinks to himself#and he's out like a light#Thena notices right away that he's gone#she asks everyone who comes up to her if they've seen Gil#great excuse not to have to talk to anyone about anything#then she sees the hammock in the treeline#weighed down with a considerable body of mass in it#she knows it right away#she goes over and he looks so cute and restful that she doesn't want to wake him#she doesn't tell him that at first she's too shy to just jump in#she's worried about landing weird#but eventually she moves to the other side and lets herself fall in#like when scuba divers fall off the edge of a boat backwards#and Gil instantly rolls over to face her#as well as he can in a hammock#Thena is like Gil we have to go to bed and also I am going to tell your mother the truth#hes' like okay honey let's--WHAT?!!

people before three hopes: rodrigue doesn’t care about his son
my son
my son
thank you for taking such good care of my son
how fortunate
he’s my son all the same
I’m glad he has you to look after him
#Three Houses#Rodrigue#rodrigue calls him ''my son'' at every possible opportunity and i think that is very nice for him#if he truly wanted to distance himself from his own child then he would use his name and not refer to him#as specifically his child bc it would remind him/others that they're father and son#don't know why yuri knows what he knows but u know what it's yuri so i won't question it he just knows shit#but look rodrigue has always wished the best for felix even if felix didn't want anything to do with him#he never stopped trying to be a father to him or have a relationship with him#even with felix being so snappy and rude rodrigue still acknowledged him every chance he got and cared abt him#he's happy that byleth is his teacher bc he feels that he can't get through to felix and he's happy someone is around felix who can#in he can't do it he just wants to know someone else is out there who can care for him in the ways he can't#imo it's always been very clear and obvious that he loves felix and i don't think he was ever a BAD father#ppl just love smacking on that bad dad label without even paying attention to what's going on#it's not even fckn subtext lmfao it's literally right in your face#it's not his fault if felix doesn't want to talk to him and pushes him away. there's only so much he can do about that#he can at least still care about him and appreciate others being there for him#if you have a child who doesn't want to deal with you then as a parent you can still cherish them and see them as your kid#you can still want the best for them and talk about them to others and see how they're doing#no matter how much grief felix would give him anything at all rodrigue was still a parent to him#he didn't just call off being a parent to him bc of felix's feelings. he just dealt with it and continued doing what he could#you don't just stop being a parent bc your kid acts like that. rodrigue certainly didn't stop even in houses

ok I cannot stay silent any longer... you run into college hockey player Toji at his frat's party. He notices you stealing glances all night and even shows off a little if he knows you're looking... but he's otherwise ignoring you bc he's chilling with his bros
except... when you drift away from the group of girls you came in with and some nerd starts chatting you up he decides it's his responsibility to cut in and make sure he's not bothering you (you know, bc it would reflect bad on his fraternity if you had a bad time. bc he doesn't like to see a girl like you bored out of her mind. bc he's sure he saw that guy flirting with someone else 10 minutes ago, he's just trying to get laid. bc Toji is SO sure that guy doesn't care about you... NOT that Toji does but he doesn't wanna see you get hurt)
#he's missing a tooth but you barely notice unless you're paying attention#you keep going back to parties his frat hosts and every time he ignores you until some other poor sap starts chatting you up#and Toji doesn't like seeing you talk to other guys so he always casually interrupts and uses his size and demeanor to scare them away#ugh don't look at me#you often end up chatting in his room but he never makes a move. just seems so apathetic about you it's frustrating#you end up chatting with another guy in there at some point and he's FUMING inside but he's playing it cool#kicks both of you out but grabs your wrist at the last second and drags you back in. locks the door...#pins you against the wall 'naughty girl. bringing someone else to my bed when I'm right here'#ugh i need to be restrained

me when Caledonia's concepts first dropped cause i doing a good playthrough: she's good. Probably chaotic good a bleeding heart maybe
Me as I get deeper into dragon lore and white dragons and every headcanon: oh no she's spiteful she's funny she can be mean she can be influenced and persuaded either way, chaotic neutral, easily tipped scale in either way based on who she ends up with during tadpole days, a true blank slate but there is some pre written, likes humor but also vengeful, spite what wrongs her or wrongs you, prideful
Its fun. Honestly. She's silly and very cerebral in thought still. Still friendly. Like.you can't take that out, but like she really does not view certain things on a morality scale.
Doesn't necessarily do evil for evil sake or gain of power. Doesn't necessarily want control, but like if you were a problem to her or someone she liked. You could end up dead. Doesn't necessarily do good or search out to the greatest amount of goodness.
Now she does like faerun as is, so she'll take action to keep things the way they are, or if they disturb the peace of her life or the people, again, that she likes. So good characters will influence her to do things cause well they'd be happy about it. Just as if evil characters, well, yeah the same can be applied.
There is a certain thing about as long as she maintains a sense of control over herself and power in a friendship or relationship; she's fine and will do just about anything. But like she is always affectionate in the same way toward either kind of party.
True Caledonia run if I played the game, if you removed the level system, like she'd skip so much of Act One if she was leading. If she made all the decisions. Like the Grove dies because she doesn't even go to goblin camp. She'd end up at the githyanki cutscene and go straight to creche. Skipping like so much. She'd do the bare minimum of Act Two.
Act Three. It's just immediately like okay. Fuck up orin immediately. Fuck up gortash immediately. She'd try to save as many in iron throne just cause. Boy she doesn't like this thing called cages. Or anyone being captive. Like she's a kill or let go. Take no prisoners.
But like in the end? All of this? Ends up solidifying her true nature as dragon. Causs they don't just do anything without a reason, without usually someone persuading them to this action. She goes after the Dragon Cult cause one guy from it personally wronged her and now it'd all bad, which I mean it is an evil cult, and she doesn't feel beholden to any God.
Its very fun, finding what stays the same, but realizing how flexible Caledonia is to based on literally who she is written against.
But also like there is a whole personal story with her too, and her memories and The Tiefling; who admittedly was doing evil for her father's sake and maybe her own, who did have a major crisis cause she got attach to the captive dragon she's known since she was five; and really the core of Caledonia is tied to; she realized she cared deeply for this tiefling, like a big sister; but she doesn't know what would honor her memory most; and feels survivor's guilt; so she keeps wearing her face cause it is her face now. And if the tiefling couldn't live, then she'll live for her; at least for a little while.
But she doesn't actually know what would truly honor who the tiefling was or what the tiefling would make decisions (which the tiefling would have done evil route but coming from a place of being literally raises this way and in an abusive cycle herself)
And, just I can't wait to write more on the tiefling and drabble of caledonia's memories aprund her years captive, and the tiefling girl talking and caring for her. And the ways in which Caledonia grows to be persuades and manipulated by the tiefling girl in a way and cares / like Caledonia absolutely went on hunger strikes while being chained and kept under a concoction of so many spells and then drained for her dragon blood; and the tiefling girl convinces her to eat.
But like, Caledonia has been so fun write cause she is an exploration of "how influences make a person" I hope this all reads well in my writing and creation, and everyone enjoys the character.
#There is always a feralness to her and unique intelligence#Himbo brain and always be quite humorous and favor characters who are humorous and fun#Especially those who are sneaky#But she also favors people who are straight forward#Wyll can be too much of a matyr and is a pet on a leash (of which cal will think wyll should snap that leash) for her#The sparkler wyll is though the more she likes her#Really it'd astarion and shadowheart who she will get along with but also the hardest?#Cause it is clear they keep their secrets and like their lies and manipulation#Meanwhile laezel is favorable because she is brutal and straight forward and funny#Gale is easily favorable cause well he talks he is funny#Same with karlach for her#Those two are easiest to get along cause they are funny and open (even if they have their own secrets namely gale)#She also thinks karlach and laezel are best cause she could at any time Start play fighting#AAnd they'll headbutt her right back or at least laezel will spar with her right away#Poor gale will have to get used to random cnatrips and ice knifes blast at him cause she wants to play fight now#[ about ] bg3 verse#[ ABOUT ] Who could forget they were a dragon once?#No but she still a young adult dragon so she is HIGHLY influencable#Now she will have character she doesn't like and will always be inclined to get rid of whom she doesn't like#And all of bg3 is her battling with imposter syndrome and identity and feeling a fraud

omg i spent the whole day cleaning my entire apartment because my family was coming to visit and 1) so so so happy my adhd is being medicated now it's literally changing my life and 2) i FINALLLY got through to my dad about how he probably has ADHD too!!!!! he finally said Yeah i think i might have adhd. and my mom was like Me too (we've had this talk privately before, she knows she has adhd too lol) And my brother is literally transferring to a different school because he can't concentrate and isn't disciplined at his current uni. adhd family.
#literally thank goodness my brother was here to like Perfectly describe in real time what happens to adhd people when they go to college for#the first time. there's less structure and you fall apart. i used that as an opportunity.#i've slowly slowly slowly been chipping away at my Entire family btw. i've finally convinced my dad that medication is a GOOD THING.#i said You know. there's a lot in life that you feel like you Have to live with. but being on meds has made life so much easier and happier.#and that's when my dad finally said it.#:^) sometimes i like..... think about my family and how complicated i feel because growing up was super tough with all of them but now they#are all better people..... and i can't help but feel proud because as much as it is ABSOLUTELY great job for THEM for getting there But i#also feel uhhh partly responsible because i was constantly calling them out for shit. not always in the best way#but always standing up for others and challenging them on their worldviews and just casually talking about more liberal (as in free. not#politically) things. yes i do feel like if it wasn't for me my family would be worse people#i KNOW one of my brothers would be because he literally told me so. and it makes me happy. it is proof that my life is worthy and i have a#good impact on the world. it doesn't have to be a big thing i do to change things..... because i believe in the Ripple Effect#my dad is a teacher and he uses the proper pronouns for his trans students without complaint now. that has a good impact on SO many people#the trans students and their classmates who hear their teacher respect them. my brother is no longer homophobic he's bi lol and#if i hadn't argued with him about what bisexuality meant bc he was Wrong when i was 18 and he was 16... i wonder....#my younger sister is one of the nicest kids i've ever met and i partly raised her. it feels great to see her be such a good kid#her best friend is a trans girl and when she first came out my sister was one of two people in their class who still wanted to be#her friend.#idk. just inspires me to keep being the best person i can be & always do what's right even if it makes people mad#bc no one can hurt me as much as my family has traumatized me (lol) and look what happened to them!! i didn't give up! and i see real change

christianity literally gives you brainrot
#i'm not even going to specify evangelica christian because fuck it i'm tired#own up to your shit#if i'm not talking about your liberal inclusive church that actively works against bigotry then i'm not talking about you liberal church#billions of people. not caring about well being of humans if it doesn't 'come from god'#not being able or refusing to think about what causes harm#god is the most important you know that god is the most important right? he created everything do you not believe in god are you against go#repeating repeating repeating always coming back to this turning off your brain and heart and conscience your humanity#but humanism is evil i know i've been told that by so many people writing so many godly books#millions of people being told that. thinking they're learning how to be ethical#they took away my mother from me#they fucked up my life#they're the reason queer people don't have any rights#wish i could talk with my mom like with a normal person#like with someone who isn't killing their heart constantly

this is again the issue that people won't listen to him and blatantly ignore what he's saying:
it's so annoying
everyone keeps bothering him with the same thing over and over altho he's already expressed his opinion on the matter. it's like talking to the walls.
of course he's going to flip out. who wouldn't? no one's patient enough to listen to repetitive shit like that.
but now it's his fault for 'overreacting'. he just wanted people to leave him alone.
...but not like that.
#(did yall notice i try to frame these as dramatically as possible bc i want you to cry together with me :)#these people were well-intentioned. they just wanted to compliment him and find out if he was going to act again#unfortunately he doesn't believe the compliments he gets on his acting skills#(<-prolly cuz his parents never appreciated/complimented him on it)#he doesn't think it's true or relevant since it's not coming from the right people#when he told everyone no and to stop asking. they all talked over him <- which is exactly what always happened with his mom#she pushed and pushed and pushed him until he couldn't take it anymore and made him explode#making him look like the crazy/overreacting one#and her like the 'poor mom with such a difficult child'#eunyung has a record of never being taken seriously when trying to communicate his boundaries#and of being gaslighted his whole life#<- ofc he'll react badly#but reacting like that pushes people away in the process#so. him expressing his feelings is either irrelevant to others or considered an overreaction#<- ofc he'll get violent when words don't work. some people understand body language better than spoken#no home#no home manhwa#집이 없어#webtoon#eunyung baek#meta#ey and theater#ahhh ig he's tall enough to hold that many issues otherwise they wouldn't fit

i understand that people generally don't mean for it to come off this way but it always peeves me when ameribrits and co talk about the state of lgbtqa+ rights in other counties as if homophobia and transphobia present there are a virus or some boogeyman that is going to breach containment and come for them. like oh what's this??? here comes christianity with a steel chair!! guess what our bigotry is your bigotry buddy. it always has been
#it's always like oh isn't it so scary what is happening in those countries they're so backwards#hey quick question who brought say catholicism to the continent of africa who could it have been#i'm watching hozier's new album interview and i respect him and value what he says but he was talking about the story behind tmtc mv#something about how he said 'it's a culture that can cross borders and now it has' referring to the rise of homotransphobia in the us#i think many ameribritcetera consciously or unconsciously believe that their countries are some beacons and trailblazers of human rights#and everyone else with rare exceptions needs to have the light brought to them or else they're trying to take it away#which is ironically the most christian shit ever#i guess what i'm trying to say is that bigotry ripples#it doesn't come from one place and requires the right conditions to flourish#for example the rise of transphobia in the world is absolutely stoked by jk rowling so can we say that it came from england?#i mean putin literally referenced her in his speech#not really that garbage was already around she just set it on fire#bigotry doesn't 'come' from anywhere it doesn't 'cross borders' it lives everywhere waiting for an opportunity#splitting the world into countries that stand against homophobia and countries that bring it doesn't help it dehumanises and divides us#(alsoiknowthathozierisirishthatwasnotthepoint)

I was thinking abt the occasionally fun but mostly frustrating tradition(in the states at least idk for sure if anywhere else does this?)of valentine's day boxes made for school.
That led me here. steddyhands and the dilemma of the valentines day box assignment for louis and alma, special feature on izzy and his rising blood pressure (sorry izzy bby akdnfjgn), which I'll be real i talk more abt in my tags on this since this probably isn't gonna be written out any further, so yeah. More plot talky izzy stuff in my tags.
Noting this in my tags too, but a moment to specify that ed and stede aren't trying to have like. a shitty parenting moment in this, they're just human and excited abt the situation and sorta fuck up a bit.
---
"The point is that they make the box themselves," Izzy says, for what feels like the hundredth time. "The only grade they get is 'did they do it or not'. Their teachers bolded that part of the email, remember? Said to mind getting too competitive about it?"
"Now I think Frenchie would happily take on the commission," Stede continues, thumbs tapping at his phone keyboard. "He'll reply quickly; he always does for me."
"It's a cardboard box," Izzy says. "To hold paper and cardboard valentines and cheap candy. That's it!"
"Money will help, but the overall design needs to be good," Ed says to Stede, as if Izzy and the kids aren't still standing there. "Money can buy resources, but it can't buy pretty, no matter how nice those resources might be."
"Oh that's good! Applies to other things too, I like it!"
"We bought them new shoes last week," Izzy sighs. Why does he keep trying? He couldn't say. "They each have a box already. We just need to help them decorate the boxes. That's it. That is all the teacher means with this project. I even asked Mary and Doug how they read it, and they agreed with me!"
"Ooh Frenchie has mock ups!" Stede cheers softly. "I knew he'd come through."
"It's okay," Alma pats Izzy's hand. "You tried really hard to make them understand. They're just excited."
"Can we go to the art stuff store now?" Louis whines, tugging at Izzy's other hand. "They won't even notice if we leave!"
"We should leave a note at least," Izzy says.
"Dad does love well written notes and random acts of abandonment," Alma sighs. "You dictate and I'll write. I want to practice my cursive."
"Really?"
"Dad can't read my cursive well yet."
"That makes more sense," Izzy says. "Louis, what are you-"
He watches as Louis tugs Stede's wallet from the countertop, and bolts outside, prize held up over his head with both hands.
"He won't notice," Alma reassures him. "You shouldn't have to pay for our stuff for this anyway."
"You've done this before."
"We'd be stupid if we hadn't," Alma tears a page from her notebook. "Here, I wrote it myself. I'm gonna get Louis in the car."
She's out the door after Louis, hands clapping to get his attention just like Mary did with them both.
"Either of you want to help me address that?" Izzy asks Ed and Stede, who he realises have indeed not stopped talking to each other the entire time. "She's a bit young to be acting like that, yeah?"
They're in their own world. Normally, he wouldn't care, but he's Guardian Five out of many and it feels like Parent/Guardians 1-4 could and should have already noticed it ahead of him.
"Fine," Izzy drops Alma's note by Stede's hand, deciding not to read it. That she actually went through with writing it is kindness enough. "I'm going to let her rack up a ridiculous bill on one of your seven credit cards, and they'll make those stupid fucking valentine boxes so fucking ornate..."
His anger fizzes out mid-sentence. Stede isn't listening. Ed isn't listening. Alma keeps honking the horn in the car and how did she get the fucking keys?!
"You know what? Fast food and ice cream for dinner too," Izzy adds. "On your dime. We'll bring you something back."
He turns his attention to Alma and the frank abuse of the car's horn. "Alma! The neighbours already don't like us, let's not make it worse! Not unless you've got something worse than this planned for later-"
--
The door thunks shut.
"Oh," Stede looks over to it. "Didn't Izzy just say something?"
"No idea," Ed replies, looking through design ideas on his phone. "Why?"
"They were just here," Stede continues. "Him and the kids. Right?"
"Maybe they went out for an after school snack," Ed shrugs. "To get inspired for this big art box project thing."
"Is that what this is? What was this for again?"
"Dunno for sure, but look at this," Ed turns the phone to show Stede the screen. "For Louis?"
Stede lets his concerns drop again. Izzy will mention if they're missing any key details about the kids' projects and what needs to be done. "I think he'd love it! Save that."
The house is getting dark around them, and he wonders if Izzy and the kids will be home for dinner.
#text post#in ed and stedes defense they aren't like. trying to have a shit parenting moment they just truly are excited and got distracted right away#however in izzys defense that means he's probably gonna be doing a majority of the initial decorating help especially for louis#and like. look. a night with the glue gun isn't a fun surprise for a lot of ppl ya know#made worse bc when ed and stede DO pop in to see how the kids are doing they end up finally helping#but in the process accidentally shove izzy aside to the point that he just dips to clean up the house until bedtime#a full version of this would absolutely involve a semi serious talk between ed stede and izzy abt this dynamic tho#probably brought up by mary asking why izzy looks more like a bedraggled mum than she does lately bc she KNOWS stede misses this stuff#and that ed might do the same and like. it isn't life ending or the worst thing ever no but it is a nearly daily grinding wearing down#feeling alone while technically having one or in this case more ppl in ur relationship who r supposed to be sharing those things w/u#and even if her and izzy don't always agree on everything she respects him as one of her ex's partners and trusts him w/the kids#and knows he doesn't deserve to feel like that bc no one does!!!#so she and maybe Spanish Jackie and Evelyn and doug will calmly put the fear of god into stede so he remembers Priorities akdbfjgn
