The Bachelorette: Episode 24 - After the Final Rose

Thank you all for following along with The Bachelorette - it was a wild time, and we live for the fans! For our final episode, we check in with the cast one year after the final rose. What's everyone up to? Hopefully living their best lives 

[soundtrack]

Aja and Zeke had a beautiful wedding a few months after their engagement. They decided to keep the guest list small since they were a little burnt out after having been on camera 24/7 for the first two months of their relationship.

Mostly Aja just wanted a formal photo op - I mean, look at her.

The main event of the wedding was definitely the "reception" (more like RAGER) they had afterwards at Blue's Cradle! Zeke and Aja chose not to live at the commune, but they still live pretty close by and come to visit every so often. And Aja always gets her cards read by her lovely new mother in law.

After Aja’s last reading, Corinne just smiled and said, “Y’all gotta big yard in de new place, yeah? Good.” 

We got to stop by the Queen-Byrd household at their adorable and eclectic home in ATL to see how things were going. Aja and Zeke both say they've never been happier and more fulfilled. There's a lot going on! Black Beauty Babies is going stronger than ever, and combining with Blue's Cradle's resources has made both organizations able to help an incredible amount of people. They've also been continuing their "tomb raiding" adventures - helping indigenous communities with hidden and precious artifacts secure them before tourists/"explorers" can. They're getting a lot better at avoiding tomb traps. It seems like things are going great for our former bachelorette and her man. Let's see how it's going for everyone else

We weren't able to touch base with "Alanzo." In fact, nobody's been able to touch base with him for the last year. We've been told to ask you to contact the authorities if you see him.

After the show, Darion's girlfriend -- who he hadn't TECHNICALLY broken up with before going on The Bachelorette -- was so upset that she leaked his nudes and racy videos in an attempt to embarrass and out him. That backfired. The internet LOVED Darion. Things picked up for him pretty quick, first on social media then on the covers of magazines. Recently he launched Wolf Packer, which is being lauded as the Fendi of transmen's underwear. Looks like disrespecting women really paid off for him! Funny how that worked out.

Things didn't work out quite as well for "superstar" Bastien. After he was eliminated and Aja called him a "BAStard" #BastardBastien immediately started trending and stayed trending for 2 weeks, which is like a year in internet time. Because of all the bad press, Bastien's label dropped him. So now both Bastien and his tour are #CANCELLED

Ryan and Atticus are still together and deeply in love. Atticus decided to go against the wishes of his coven and turn Ryan to cure him of his cancer and ensure that they could spend their eternal lives together.

X'irron is doing more than fine! He took Aja's advice and continued his intergalactic travels. He hasn't quite gotten to the "finding himself" part of the journey, but he's definitely learning a lot ~getting to know~ all kinds of veeery interesting lifeforms.

And that's it! Thank you again for watching- oh wait, sorry. How could we forget sweet baby Cooper! Well...

Cooper's search for true love isn't over! Second time's the charm...That's how that phrase goes, right? (thank you to @maldeebee​ @holocene-sims​ and @utamuse​ for these beautiful girlies!!)

THE END 🌹  | PREVIOUS | BEGINNING

i always say people complaining about enemies to lovers that are too tame, like “oh but they weren’t real enemies, they just hated each other and argued and thought the other was hot” and that’s valid but also. that’s exactly what i want. the ideal dynamic is two catty bitches sighing and going “well, i guess i have to fuck him”

“Maybe they’d just…want us to try…?” ❤️

“…yeah. I guess we can try” 💙

Extremely serious private RP where Cotton and Ash bonded over their shared trauma of how their matesprites, NAGITO and YOSHII respectively, were killed as result of an unfair government system.

Hey. Get ready for a hot magical smutty truth-laden piece of work. A Power Unbound by @fahye comes out later this year. You need these books in your life.

[alt id: Digital drawing of two men standing very close together. The shorter man has olive skin and curly hair, and is jabbing a finger in the other man’s chest. The taller man has a hand on his hip and the other at the back of the shorter man’s neck. The taller man is smirking. Text next to the short man reads “Your Lordship,” and next to the tall man is “Cesare.”]

I gotta stop doing this (two new babies when I'm still hanging onto the last three)!!!

Thinking about Mariner's trauma reveal, and how Carol and Alonzo had to watch their bright, high achieving (at least according to Ramsey) daughter come back from the Dominion War broken and angry. How they had to just sit by as her trauma responses got her demoted over and over again. How they did everything they could to keep Mariner in Starfleet because they still remember that bright, high achieving girl and and how much potential she had, and they know that part of their daughter must still be in there somewhere even if it's hard to see.

And sometimes Carol can't cope and starts to think that Beckett really doesn't belong on her ship, and sometimes Alanzo can't deal either and cuts Carol's frustrated com calls short because it all just hurts too much. They haven't let go of who Beckett used to be, but she will never be that wide-eyed Starfleet cadet that they were so proud of ever again, and neither of them can do anything about it.

prompt

Your name is ASHLYN ALANZO

But you prefer Ash. You are currently huddled inside your JUNKYARD ABODE. Furiously glowering at your OUTDATED GRUBPHONE. You've been mooching off of the local CERULEAN ARTISAN CAFE joint that popped up in a neighbouring plot. Stick it to the woman, way to go. A side effect of being raised SANS LUSUS is that you are one COLD, BLUNT, TROLL. In your very TURBULENT youth, you've picked up the GUITAR, and also mastered the ART OF VOCAL PERFORMANCE. Being a TALENTED, HIVELESS, and ANGRY rustblood has garnered you the RELENTLESS PURSUIT of government DRONES. No matter. You've killed before, and will KILL AGAIN if necessary. You speak in a very hopeless, doomer, yet unwaveringly rage filled prose. Your trolltag is witheredBlade.

“he wanted to put his hand at ross’s jaw and force up his chin, wanted to dig his fingers in and cause a bruise, and be damned to the fact that they were in public” ok buddy let’s calm it down

This was written for the 2023 Candy Hearts Exchange.

This fic was posted in 2023. I'm sharing it now because I want my Tumblr to have a nicely organized link to each of my fics. Some I've shared with such inconsistent tags I can't find the links myself, and many I've never blogged about at all!

will we be seeing any more of alan ross in the next book? he is so entertaining to read and his interactions with lord hawthorn were very 👀👀

it is so very heartening to see the number of people who are appropriately 👀 about alanzo cesare rossi, my favourite and most furious boy. fear not. there will be LOTS of him in the next one.

No context, just Alanzo the Great

Konnie's origins Konnie is an immortal girl who lives in Veldin. Alongside Ratchet and Clank, her former home was on earth after. She was transported by a strange device called "the portalizer"( a reference to A Slice of Pie from the Ratchet and Clank cartoon). After being transported by the Portalizer, she woke up in a strange place called Drek Industries Planet Quartu, a place filled with robots owned by Alanzo Chairman Drek and responsible for building robots and weapons, Dr. Nefarious. Konnie has to befriend Chairman Drek and his companions, Zed, Victor Von Ion, and Dr. Nefarious. Konnie seems surprised by his appearance, and she refers to him as "a fem queen" (which he feels weird considering he doesn't know that she is a simp to him; by drawing some portraits of him, you can even imagine him wearing a cat maid outfit if you will). She likes to draw, bake, cook, sing, goth people, Fast food, Anime, read manga, and watch BL stuff, which she sees sometimes when no one is around. She can also float around and grow tentacles on her back (a reference to Slenderman). Konnie's personality is that of a sweet, kind, and caring person who also feels concerned for others and is passionate about her hobbies. But she can also be a little mischievous sometimes. And feels excited about everything when something is going to happen. Plus, she even comes out as a Queer person when supporting those who come out as non-binary, trans, asexual, etc. If you are reading this, please do not comment badly or harass my OC with her personality and everything. And this is also a fanfic, which I wrote.
