While it's fun to get sucked into our favorite series, we must also remember that reality is riddled with injustices. In celebration of Burning Shores' first anniversary, I am opening up shop briefly and will be donating any proceeds to Palestine Legal - an independent organization dedicated to protecting the civil and constitutional rights of people in the US who speak out for Palestinian freedom. I will be holding a print run and selling stickers in my stash for anyone who'd like one of my nerdy horizon arts. 100% of all proceeds (after manufacturing expenses) will be donated to this organization. You can find my shop at - https://ehartlesshart.bigcartel.com/

Queen, could you bless us with your current skincare routine? (And your skin type please) You use some solid choices and I’m trying to branch out. (Sorry if it’s a double send my phone sneezed too hard and refreshed)
Omg hiiii wow you just made my life ok buckle in.
So I love Korean skincare and I have way too much of it so apparently I've been doing this whole 'skin cycling' trend way before it was a trend just bc I had so much I would switch my routines in a cycle? LOL. Skin cycling seriously works idk I don't follow these guides or anything I just do what I think my skin needs also I'm very cheap with skincare like wth crack is the West on charging prices like that yeet (*buys western products anyway*) I've also been lazy about doing the full 10 step routine tbh. I would call my skin normal with a side of chaotic neutral. I’ve definitely noticed since cycling I have less problems with my skin as a whole though. 
CLEANSERS: (daily) ----
Oil: I've been using this guy cause ys had a sale honestly I firmly believe in switching up products so your skin doesn't get too used to anything so I usually just buy whatever cleansers are cheapest
Foam: Again this is cheap so I'm here for it but also die hard cosrx fan over here and this one is nice too.
ROUTINES: (cycling depending on how much my skin hates me) ----
AHA/BHA - (Like once or twice a week or so)
Toner - looove that it's a spray!, Essence, Serum, Moisturizer
Vitamin C - (When my skin is dull and sad)
Toner, Essence, Serum, Moisturizer
Retinol - (Once a week, PM only!)
Serum, Moisturizer
Snail/Hyaluronic Acid - (What I usually do on all other days) 
Toner, Essence, Serum, Moisturizer
SUNSCREEN: (the most important part of any routine!!)
This is where I think Korean skincare really shines like yeah you could get The Ordinary products for skin cycling and it’s just as good as the Korean beauty stuff (and competitive pricing!!) but man Western sunscreen suckkssss for makeup. It’s the most important part of being immortal though so like you can’t just not use it. Anyway all my faves are sold out :( but these ones aren’t bad (missha, beauty of joseon) 
Honorable Mentions:
I love I’m From but as a brand I think it’s too expensive and I’m never wowed by most of their stuff for me to be a diehard simp like I am for cosrx or elizavecca.
This honey mask though is too die for and I regularly send it as a gift for birthdays/holidays like if you get nothing on this list get this guy
Their Fig scrub is also suuuper nice like you put both of these on and you just wanna lick your face all day. 
 Also!
I linked these guys all through yes style because well one I have a discount code lmao but also it’s international shipping which is awesome. Shipping can take a week or two but I’ve never had any issue with them 💖

*A/N : OMG I’m so sorry it took a little longer then expected, I kinda got carried away with it. But I hope y’all love it and please leave a comment about what y’all liked or didn’t like! Sorry about spelling, I try to catch them but some might of slipped by! I had a dream about this scenario and I just expanded on it, been writing it for a while, one of the few stories I'm working on. I love to come up with stories and backgrounds and characters, but have a bad habit of losing enthusiasm to continue writing. I apologize in advance, I'm trying to get over this writer's block issue thingy. Also added Olivia Pope and her people because I love….LOVE the TV show Scandal and I made her apart of the reader’s background. I still haven’t finished the series yet cause I don’t want to watch Olivia Pope go! So if there’s inconsistencies….sorry but this is an AU where Olivia and Mitch are in the same universe. Also there's a shout out to the amazing TV show The O.C.! And the beautiful Rachel Bilson’s wonderful character Summer Roberts from the show!

Y/N's POV
As your car pulls up to the front of the club, hearing the muffled beat of the music playing inside. Your driver comes around and holds out his hand for you to take as he opens your door. You step outside with your Eloise Almond Toe Louboutin Bootie clacking onto the pavement. The pin-thin stiletto heel on the almond-toe bootie made from plush red suede and finished with that iconic red sole stands out amongst the night. As you stepped out, your famous red Paris Lace Body-Con Dress by Bardot shines under the street lights. Your bandana red and gold, glazed calfskin Small Kate Chain Crossbody Bag, featuring a gilded pull-through chain strap and interlocking logo by Saint Laurent dangles beside you. As you walk up to the bouncer, you pull out a black plastic card, with just three red claw marks on it. He runs it through a machine and it beeps and glows green, he moves aside as you strut by entering the club.
As you enter the club surveying the place,
“I’m in” you say seemingly to yourself,
“See anyone we know?” a woman’s voice comes through your earpiece,
“Just the usual for an exclusively expensive international club, mid-level goons for multiple criminal organizations, some kids of ambassadors, senators and prime ministers. Hell even some royals are partying up with some upper classers and b-list movie stars. Besides that not really anyone worth mentioning” you smile at some hot guy who walks past you as you make your way into the dancefloor,
“Ok, now what about the target? Do you see her?” another woman’s voice comes through, commanding even over the earpiece,
“She’s not on the…..what a minute…..yes. She’s in her office overlooking the dancefloor like the blueplans show” you state making your way into the middle of the dancefloor swaying to the music blending in perfectly,
“Good, we need to get her laptop Y/N, it has the information we need, you know what happens if this fails” the woman with the commanding voice states,
“Yes boss lady, I know what's at stake, I won’t fail…..” you reply but your voice dies down when you see him.
Mitch’s POV
As he enters the club, the Ruby Tiger, the base of operations for the Red Claw. An international smuggling organization run by a Russian woman named Aleksandra. She smuggles anything and everything as long as she makes a profit from it. She has been a thorn in the sides of multiple law enforcement agencies across the globe. But she’s become such a threat now that the C.I.A. has decided it’s time to end this organization.
Aleksandra hasn’t been caught or arrested as she invokes loyalty from her workers. She actually takes care of those who work for her, even going as to help fund their families; even for those who are arrested or killed in action. If she didn’t give weapons to terrorists, help cartels ship their drugs or smuggle kidnapped victims. Irene had chosen him for the job, sending himself and Stan on standby, making it his twenty-fifth mission.
As he makes his way to the bar, he feels weird like someone is watching him, but as he looks around he can’t figure out where it’s coming from. He orders a drink, turning to lean against the bar looking up at Aleksandra’s office with a cold stare. He quickly looks out to the dancefloor, feeling that same feeling like someone is watching him. With all his skills, he still can’t pinpoint where this feeling is coming from much to his annoyance. But finally giving up, he looks back up to see Aleksandra standing, watching over everyone. He ended up catching Aleksandra’s stare, holding it for a while before she turned away.
Y/N’s POV
As you shake and shimmy to the beat of the music, you continuously keep stealing glances at him, Mitch Rapp. You’ve heard from the grapevine that Stan Hurley’s new protégé was said to rival the likes of even you.
“Y/N, what is it?” the boss lady tone asks,
“Oh just that Hurley’s new puppy just walked in and is at the bar as we speak” you reply nonchalantly,
“Hurley? As in your old boss?” the other woman asks,
“Yes, and by the way his new protégé is watching Aleksandra’s office must mean he isn’t here for a party” you say as you continue dancing,
“Mitch Rapp could be useful or a pain if he gets to her first” the boss lady comments,
“Well he’s not gonna be an issue cause he’s about to be caught” you say smiling to yourself,
“What do you mean? And are you smiling?” the boss lady asks,
“He just had a staring contest with Aleksandra and now some of her men are walking around to see if they need to take him away. And yes I am smiling cause I wouldn’t have gotten caught watching my target. Much like how I'm annoying him as he was looking around earlier looking for the source of his hibby jibbies.” you say smiling still,
“Should I help him out or not?” you ask as you slow down your dancing,
“Mhmm” boss lady says,
“Boss lady, we are losing time” you say moving towards the bar,
“I’m thinking” boss lady replies,
“Think faster cause he’s a lost cause in twenty seconds” you state as slow down looking at your phone quickly,
“Do it, save him!” boss lady orders as you move to get to Mitch.
Mitch’s POV
“Babe! There you are! I was wondering when you’d get here!” he hears this silky voice drag him out of his thoughts.
Looking at where the voice came from when his jaw dropped, seeing this beautiful woman with dark brown curly hair that’s shoulder length. A simple golden A shined brightly on a gold chain, hanging just above her breasts. Her smile illuminated by her bright red lips that made them look plump and so kissable. She put her hands on his chest, her perfectly manicured red nails shined as well as her ruby Classic Square Halo Ring by Lafonn.
“Wha…..” he was about to ask confused as hell,
“If you don’t play along, you’ll be marked, dumbass” this woman whispers to him as she pushes her body flat against him running her hands down his chest.
He just nodded his head as he didn’t trust his voice right at the moment. She smiled and kissed him, being in shock he seen the two men walk by saying he’s just some boyfriend. As soon as they left he went to kiss back but she pulled away, smirking. He looked at her in confusion, wondering why she helped him and who she was.
She giggled as she pulled him onto the dancefloor, swaying to the music pulling him close to her body. He danced with her, wondering why he felt so drawn to her given they just met. He danced with this mysterious woman for a few minutes before he can trust his voice,
“Who are you?” he whispered into her ear as she spun around and pulled him against her back holding his hands onto her stomach,
“Someone who just saved your ass. You know Stan is gonna chew your ear off for almost getting caught” Y/N told him smiling,
“How do you know Hurley? How do you know who I am?” he asked confused, she just smiled,
“You never did your homework did you?” the woman turns around holding him close to her still dancing,
“Someone who’s better than you are” she smirked at him then her attention was elsewhere.
Y/N's POV
“Y/N, pay attention, it’s time to introduce yourself to Aleksandra” boss lady tells you,
“Ugh fine” you say a little irritated,
“Fine what?” Mitch asks you with that adorable confused look you seen earlier,
“I got to go to work, Mr. Rapp” you tell him then give him a kiss that he returns which ignites a fire in you but you leave him on the dance floor anyways.
You strut away shaking your ass a little more than necessary, as you make your way off the dancefloor. After you knew you lost Mitch’s sight, you made your way to thug near the bottom of the stairs.
“How do you want me to go about this?” you ask the boss lady,
“You could say…..” the other woman was gonna say something but was cut off,
“Use Mitch” the boss lady coldly replies,
“What?!” you reply,
“Use him to get to Aleksandra, tell her he’s there to kill her and when she brings him to her, use him to get to the laptop” the boss lady states,
“......okay, it’ll get done” you reply with a hint of reluctance,
“Don’t fail, or else we will lose our chance to help our client reunite with their precious” boss lady tells you,
“I know, I’ll do it” you reply.
As you got to the thug, he just looked at you through his black shades,
“I have some information for the boss lady” you say simply as he listens to his earpiece, then he motions for you to head up.
You walk up the stairs, wait outside double doors that read “Office of Aleksandra” in blood red cursive letters.
The doors open and you walk in, seeing a beautiful office decorated in wine reds, midnight blacks with a dash of silver. A couple of thugs stand on either side of the way from the door to the desk. A big red chair spun around revealing the golden brown, golden hazel eyed Russian. Her red lips turned up into an smirk that sent shivers down your spine. She tapped her perfectly manicured gold nails on her desk as she leaned forward. Her black Lace Fit & Flare Cocktail Dress by Eliza J shown off her gold Aleksandra on her gold chain.
“Итак, я слышал, у вас есть информация для меня. Теперь скажи мне, почему я должен слушать тебя, а не убивать или выбрасывать? (So, I hear you have some information for me. Now tell me why I should listen to you and not kill you or throw you out?)” Aleksandra asked you as her Russian accent comes out perfectly,
“Я знаю, что кто-то здесь, чтобы убить тебя (I know someone is here to kill you)” you say nonchalantly in perfect Russian which surprises Aleksandra and makes her slightly smile,
“But if you don’t want to hear what I have to say, I can take a hint” you turn around walking out,
“Wait! You speak as if you’re from mother Russia but your skin says otherwise” Aleksandra says making you smile as you turn back to her,
“I spent some time in Новосибирск (Novosibirsk)” you tell her,
“Come, tell me what you know” she says,
“There is an operative of the C.I.A. here to kill you, and not just any operative. A member to the Orion team” you tell her as you move closer to her desk as she thinks over your words,
“Who?” Aleksandra asks as her eyebrow raised,
“Mitch Rapp, that guy who was eyeing you earlier and who I was dancing with” you continue saying nonchalantly,
“Now why are you giving up your dance partner?” Aleksandra asks eye brow still raised,
“I want something in return, like a good business woman you are, you know no good deed is done without something in return” you say to her as she watches you carefully, she laughs,
“Ha, alright, in return for bring to light this bump in the road, I’ll grant you something in return. Now, go, fetch” Aleksandra tells you and then waves her hands at her thugs who began to walk out,
“No wait!” you say a little too loudly as she watches you carefully to explain yourself,
“You have a bar full of people, someone with Mitch’s calibur will surely cause a mess if you send your thugs right now. Let me disarm him and then bring your boys to grab him” you explain rather quickly, surprising yourself with that fast reason, she nodded her head yes as you smile,
“Besides, never send a man to do a woman’s job” you say over your shoulder as you turn and strut out hearing her laugh.
Mitch’s POV
“Ugh fine” she says a little irritated making him pay attention to her again and not looking up at Aleksandra’s office,
“Fine what?” he asks you confused as he didn’t say anything,
“I got to go to work, Mr. Rapp” she tell him then gives him a kiss that he returns which ignites a fire in himself but she leave him on the dance floor.
She struts away shaking her ass making him groan, as she make her way off the dancefloor. After he lost sight of you, he headed back to the bar for a drink. His cell began to vibrate in his pants, he pulls it out to answer it,
“Hey, I’m in position if you need back up which you shouldn’t” Hurley’s voice comes throw the line,
“Thanks for the support…..” he debates on telling him about the woman he just ran into as he took a drink,
“What is it Rapp?” Hurley asks already knowing he wanted to say something,
“There’s a woman here who knows me and you. She says I haven’t done my homework obviously and she is better than me” he replies after a minute of silence,
“What?! What woman?! What does she look like?!” Hurley sounds worried for a moment,
“Uh she’s about 25, (Y/H), (Y/H/C), (Y/E/C), body to die for, voice of an angel, seems trained well and has a confident flirty attitude” he lists off everything he noted while with the mystery woman,
“Mmmm” Hurley thinks,
“Does she sound like someone you know?” he asks his mentor,
“Sorta, but I’m not sure….” Hurley was saying but is interrupted,
“Mitch!” that voice comes floating to him as he turns to she her strut over to him smiling,
“Mitch? Is that her?” Hurley asks,
“Yes” he replies as she gets to him and kisses him,
“Mitch that’s…..!!!!” Hurley starts to say but he shuts his cell phone off to kiss her, which deepens,
“Not hear” she whispers after pulling back for air, she looks around and smiles then pulls him towards the bathroom near the stairway that leads to Aleksandra’s office. He makes a note about the stairs and the thug standing by the bottom for later.
She pulls him passing the thug at the bottom of the stairway, he is pulled into the bathroom and slammed against the door. She kisses him as she locks the washroom, her hands going back to roam his body sending shivers down his spine. She starts to push his shirt up, he leans back as he lifts the shirt off his head and drops it on the ground.
She stands back a little to admire his physique, her hands roaming his chest as her mouths fallows. Kissing all over his chest, feeling his muscles tense and relax under her touch. She kisses his nipples, hearing him release a small moan and see him twitch a little. Her hands roaming down his chest, playing with his hairs on his chest slowly following the trail down to his pants.
He hadn’t been with anyone. Not since Katrina. Yeah, he knows it’s crazy. But something about this woman brought out this part of him. He never even thought he could feel for another woman like this. Yeah he knows it’s unimaginable to be like this, he just met this mystery woman. But she has captured his heart like Katrina did so long ago. He can’t explain it but he feels like his heart beat finally after Katrina died.
(Y/N)’s POV
You continue to kiss your way down as your hands unbuckle his belt, unbutton his jeans, pulling the zipper down as you kiss his defined abs. You look up throw your lashes as he moans slightly, as you throw his gun to the left. He looks down as you pull his pants and boxers down. Your gaze goes back to your destination, as you kneel in front of him, his cock springs out and hits his stomach. You remove his knife attached to his right ankle and throw it with his gun without him noticing. Your mouth waters as it twitches with need to be touched, your hand slowly moves to grab it lightly, making him groan.
His head flies back to hit the door as your tongue licks the precum off his cock, making him release a small moan. He threads his hands through your silky hair, as your mouth envelopes his cock, you start to bob your head and your hand begins to rub what couldn’t fit. You felt so good, he couldn’t stop his moans from flying out his mouth, biting his lip trying to stop them. He looks down at you as you look up at him through your lashes, he groans,
“God, baby, you feel so good” he tells you, you hum in acknowledgement which sent a shiver through him, he could feel his stomach tighten,
“Baby I’m close” he states, closing his eyes, as he feels slightly bad but you uess he hadn’t been with anyone since Katrina. Yeah, you knows it’s insane to feel so connected to him. But something about this man brought out this part of you, a part you shut off since you lost your parents. You never even thought you could feel this love for another person. Yeah you know it’s unexpected that he brightens your world. You just met this man, this complete stranger. But he has captured your heart like nobody else. You can’t explain it but you feel like your heart beats finally alive.
You hum and remove your hands and take him in your mouth fully surprising him,
“Holy shit” he says in shock at the feeling of hitting the back of your throat, he can feel his toes curling in his shoes.
Your free hand moves up his chest as you bob your head almost releasing him and then back down to bury your nose in his curly hairs at the base. You continue your movements while your free hand moves up to his nipple, something he was too occupied to realize. As soon as you played with his sensitive nipple he released a throaty moan and his cock twitched. You stopped your moving, focusing on sucking as you milked him for every last drop of his sweet nectar.
He was panting heavily, as you stood back up smiliming,
“So are you gonna help me out of this dress or what?” you say with a seductive voice over your shoulder as you turn around with your back facing him,
“Absolutely” he states, kicking off his shoes, pants and boxers, he walked up to you as he slipped the zipper down, pushing the dress off your shoulder as he kissed your newly exposed skin.
As your dress pooled around your heels, you stepped out of it, turning around to look at him. He kissed you passionately, making you moan as your bodies hugged close to each other. His hands slid down your back and squeezed your ass, yours scratching down his back leaving red marks. He lifted you up, your legs wrapping around his waist as he brought you to the sink, placing you down. He began to kiss down your neck, leaving love bites in his wake, making his way to your chest. He admired and a little bit of shocked that you hadn’t been wearing any underwear,
“It’s too uncomfortable too with that dress” you state as if you read his mind, he just nodded and continued his assault on your chest, making you moan as he kissed around your breasts. You whimpered as he was not kissing where you wanted him to be, so you threaded your fingers in his hair and pushed him against you breasts. He took the hint and enveloped your nipple in his mouth, kissing as much skin and licking your hardened nipple tugging with his teeth as he pulled back. You moaned louder as he switched breasts, using his free hands to palm and play with the other breast.
He smirked at your sounds, which was music to his ears and made his cock start to harden again. He eventually started to kiss down your stomach, along your hips, your inner thighs and licking your skin as he went. You whimpered again, not feeling him at your core, his magical tongue working to push you over the edge into bliss.
“Mitch, don’t tease” you pleaded as he smirked at your request, he did as he was told, he slowly licked your pussy up to your bundle of nerves making you squirm. He kept you still with one of his hands on your hips as the other went to open you up for his tongue, your sweet nectar dripping out. He kept diving his tongue deeper as your moans got louder, he slowly begin to slip his middle finger into you and turning it so it hit your sweet spot. You moaned loudly at that backing up to his finger, your pussy trying clench around his finger.
You can feel his smirk as he continues to eat you out, making you become a moaning mess. He adds another finger, constantly hitting your sweet spot and biting at your nub making you moan louder. He adds another finger and turns his fingers to hit spots you never felt touched before causing you to whimper.
“M-M-Mitch, I’m close” you stutter under the waves of pleasure coarse through you as he hums in acknowledgment, sending another wave through you. He looks up at you smiling, seeing your eyes close in bliss, moans never ending leave your mouth.
“Do it baby, come for me” his words while his fingers picking up pace bring you to the edge and his mouth sucking on your bundle of nerves and lightly bite you again sends you over the edge. You scream in pleasure as he continues to lap at your juices flowing down your thighs. He helps you ride out your high, not stopping his licking of you slurping up as much as he can. He doesn’t stop his assault until you whimper and try to push his head away. He stops and stands licking his fingers clean, you finally peak at him as he patiently waits for you to recover.
“You taste so sweet babe” he tells you as you pull him into a kiss, but not like before this one is sweet, slow and full of emotion. Your hands glide over his chest as his slide up your sides. You reach down to line him up, his hands on your hips,
“Do we need um….” he began to ask,
“No, I’m on the pill and I wanna feel you” you say pulling him closer by his shoulders as he pushes in you. You bite onto his shoulder to wwkeep from screaming, nails leaving red marks down his back as he fills to the hilt. He stays still to allow you to adjust, groaning as he feels how tight you are, kissing your neck. You finally nod to signal him to move, almost gonna say something when he pulls out almost completely to slam back in. Your scream at the movements only egging him on to continue, his hands on your hips leaving bruises.
He keeps rotating from fast and powerful thrusts to slow and meaningful pushes causing you to feel light headed. Darkness appears around your vision, your face contorted in pleasure. He brings your ankles up to his shoulders changing the angle and depth of him in you. You went to scream but nothing came out, voice stuck in your throat, head leaning back against the mirror. He brings his hand to rub your bundle of nerves for added pleasure, this time you release a moan.
You feel the coil tightening, your vision blurring and moans turning to screams. He kept his rhythm going, you feel his other bring your head to his in a heated kiss. He kissed down your neck, finding your pulse point and biting it, the coil tightened and snapped. You screamed in pleasure as your walls clenched around him, nails clawing at his back and head resting on the mirror. Afterwards your orgasm spurred his own on, your walls milking him off every drop he had. He helped you ride them out, stopping only when you tried to push him away feeling very sensitive. He helped you down off the sink on wobbly legs, keeping a hand on your waist to keep you up.
“Wow, that was….” you began when you looked up at him, his taller stature towering over you,
“What makes you think we are done? Unless you wanna stop?” he smirks at you while you gulp, but as he turns you around and pushes you down onto the counter you don’t stop him.
He comes up behind you, spreading your legs, lining up to you again as he rubs your back. He pushes in, you both groan in unison as slowly thrusts into you. He continues this agonizingly slow pace, making you whimper for more,
“You’re going to slow” you tease, smiling knowing he would respond,
“Your teasing me for more huh? Well baby, too bad, deal with it” he states as he continues with his slow movements.
He leaves kisses on your back, marking every inch he can with his mouth, rubbing the bruises on your hips. Your back arches off the counter as your coil tightens again, shocking you completely. He pulls your chest against his, moving his hand to your breast to palm it and kiss you again. You moan into him, his mouth leaving love bites on the other side of your neck leaving no part of you untouched.
The angle he has is now pushing you to your third release tonight, something you didn’t know you could do. Your guys heavy panting the only noise in the washroom, his lips leaving wet kisses down your neck and on your shoulders. One hand playing with one of your breasts while the other went to your bundle of nerves. The overall sensations skyrocketing you to your orgasm,
“I’m close” is all you can mutter,
“Same here babe” he grunts out going faster somehow which with one last thrust.
You scream his name, surely people outside know what is happening in here if they didn’t know already. You kiss him and he kisses back and the emotions spill out of you both. None of you question this sudden wave of emotions in you, just enjoying it while it's there. You see stars explode in your eyes and body becomes boneless as waves crash through you. They only thing keeping you up is him, but his legs are wobbling a little now after he came too after you clenched around him. You feel your mixed juices sliding down your legs, he leaves kisses on your neck. He pulls out and let's you lean against the counter as he stumbles backwards and leans on the wall.
As you finally recover enough, you smile at him and wobbly walk to your dress. You slip it on again, turning back to him, asking,
“Mind zipping it on?” you ask, voice shaky still, he just nods and does so.
You walk over to the corner, bending down to pick up his weapons and your purse he somehow missed you dropping. You place the weapons inside while he is still recovering, looking at the bite mark on his shoulder from earlier.
“Damn babe, you didn’t have to bite so hard” he says,
“I’m sorry, Mitch, but you better dress now” you say not looking at him, he finally turns to you but he sees the door open and thugs with guns walk in.
Mitch’s POV
He looks at her but she never make eye contact, leaving the washroom as he realizes he is weaponless. He is completely speechless, not understanding why she did this to him. He knows she felt what he felt and it’s confuses him to now end as to why. After redressing, they escort him to the office, as he is pushed in, he sees her talking with her, Aleksandra.
“Ah, this must be Mitch. He is much better good looking up close then from up here. Greetings Mr. Rapp, I’m…” the Russian says with a smile that sent shivers down his spine,
“I know who you are” he states codly not taken his eyes off (Y/N), who continues to ignore him.
Aleksandra sees this and smiles even more,
“Right, the whole you’re sent to kill me thing. Can we not do that? It’s bad for business if I’m dead” Aleksandra says nonchalantly,
“Why did you do this? I wanna know” he states towards her, Aleksandra looks over to her too,
“Ah, you didn’t tell him. See she wants something from me, so she traded you for a favor from me” Aleksandra smiles looking back and forth at them, as he tears up and she shutters and looks down at her feet.
“Oh this is too good” Aleksandra laughs making them both look at her,
“Two lovers on opposite sides. Pit against each other. How medieval and Shakespeare-ing” Aleksandra says while still laughing,
“What!?! I don’t love him!?!” she quickly defends herself, waving her arm at him, while the other went to rest on her hip.
“Prove it then” Aleksandra’s Russian accent came out more as she reached for a drawer and pulling put a blade and sliding it to her.
She looked at the metallic blade and then back at Aleksandra, but she reached for the blade and turned towards him. Aleksandra smiled evilly, as she walked over to me, she lean against me and whispered,
“Jump in when you know too” as she stabbed my gut making me groan, missing every important thing as she turned back to Aleksandra who accepted it,
“Well, then, unexpected, so what is it you want in return?” Aleksandra asked her missing the blade was still in me, I was confused as to what she meant,
“Well, I need the location of someone you transported recently” she asked while I caught her venom in her word and by Aleksandra’s look, so has the Russian,
“I’m sorry, all information on paid jobs are sealed and non-optional sweetheart” Aleksandra stated, as she sees the look in her eyes,
“Ah, I see, someone close to you had been, transported, and it left a bad taste in your mouth” Aleksandra says even though it sounds like a question making her hand twitch and clenched into a fist,
“Well darling, I completely forgot to ask for your name, who are you?” Aleksandra asks standing up laying her hands on her desk as (Y/N) stands her ground,
“I’m known by many names, but you can call me черная вдова! (the Black Widow!)” (Y/N)’s Russian perfect as Aleksandra’s smile faded and she her hand twitches while my smile grew as I finally remeber her now.
Aleksandra looks at me, her eyes going to the blade still in my side, she looks back at (Y/N), and realizes she fucked up.
“Kill them!” Aleksandra orders as she reaches for her laptop on her desk but (Y/N) reaches out and pulls Aleksandra’s golden hair slamming her face onto the desk.
I pull out the blade, groan and used it slash the thug’s arm on my left making him drop his pistol, (Y/N) spins around a thugs’ neck as he tried to grab her and using the momentum to push him onto the ground with her knees on his back. I tackled the thug that was on my right and use the blade to stab his throat like Hurley taught me. Picking up his pistol, I quickly dispatched the two thugs behind Aleksandra who were about to shoot (Y/N). She went after Aleksandra who tried to use a secret hallway to escape while I dealt with more thugs coming in.
(Y/N)’s POV
Aleksandra tried to run but bitch wasn’t getting away from me, I still needed her to access her laptop back in the office. We ran up this stairway, I finally tackle her before a rooftop access door. We wrestle around, punching, clawing, slapping, kicking until she lands a punch on my jaw. It dazes me as she gets up and runs towards the door she opens it. She is about to walk through the open door when a trash can comes outta nowhere and hits her. I get up holding my jaw as I feel a bruise coming, I look up defensively when a person shows. The sun is hiding the man but I relax as the person comes in and is Stan Hurley himself.
“Oh it’s you, was wondering when you were gonna show” you say looking at the unconscious Russian,
“How you been (Y/L/N)?” Hurley asks looking at her too,
“Fucking bitch got lucky and socked me good, besides that I’m great” you reply glaring at the woman.
He just laughed, picked her up and you both walked down the stairs, when you entered the office, you both almost got shot!
“Wow! Chill! It’s us!” you scream at Mitch while ducking down,
“Oh. Hurley?” Mitch asks as the man came in with the unconscious Russian on his shoulder,
“Yeah you dumbass” Hurley put the Russian on her chair, during her hands together and to the desk so she couldn’t move,
“So I see you to met. Intimately I might add” Hurley says looking between you two, making you blush a little,
“How’d…” you asked before he gave you that dad stare,
“Cause last time I seen him he didn’t have hickeys all over his neck and seeing as you are covered also. Doesn’t take a genius” Hurley tells you making you look down at your shoes,
“Yeah, she did that in order to disarm me!” Mitch complains, I just send him a glare,
“Yeah, cause your ass was made and it was the only to keep them from just shooting at you” you tell him as he glares at you,
“Then why’d you stab me?” Mitch asks you moving closer while holding his side,
“Cause that was the only way to give you the blade” you say nonchalantly lifting his shirt to see the cut,
“You couldn’t find another way?” Mitch complains again,
“If I stabbed you in the leg or arm, you’d be compromised and useless to me” you tell him, applying a cloth with alcohol, he winched when you cleaned it.
“And that’s why she’s known as черная вдова. The Black Widow. Among other similar names” Hurley states sitting down relaxing,
“Where did you get all that stuff?” Mitch asked you as he watched you finish cleaning it then put a bandage to the cut applying pressure,
“My purse” you answer him when you look up and realize how close you were to him again. Your breathes mixing as he put his hand on yours holding the bandage, you cleared your throat and moved your hand to tape it to his body.
“Wounds not deep, so you won't…..need….stitches” you tell him as he eyed your lips, the both of you very close that it just take one of you to lean a little bit more to kiss,
“You know, not to interrupt this love fest, but the Russian is awake now” the old man speaks after clearing his throat to announce himself as the two of you break away from each other.
“Wha….” Aleksandra says still a little light headed looking around,
“I need your laptop password” you tell Aleksandra as she looks at you still dazed,
“Why do you need her password? What are you doing here?” Mitch asks you,
“Cause I’m a gladiator in a suit” you look over your shoulder at him before turning back to Aleksandra,
“What?” Mitch asks still confused,
“She works for the great and mighty Olivia Pope” Hurley informs the younger man,
“The D.C. fixer?” Mitch asks looking at you,
“Pope and Associates may have started out as a problem fixing firm for D.C., but we have expanded and gone global now. It was Olivia who helped me leave Orion and the C.I.A. and because of that I started to work for her. Well that and reasons my own I left the C.I.A. for P&A.” you say,
“So, we can’t access her laptop without the correct password. It’s too protected to try a worm our way in via WiFi connection. Me or Huck would have to be physically there and even then I don’t know how long it would be to crack it” the other woman’s voice sounds in your earpiece,
“Really? Quinn, you can’t do nothing? Are you sure?” you ask looking annoyed,
“Quinn?” Mitch asks Hurley,
“Quinn Perkins, P&A’s second best hacker and first overall go to girl” Hurley states waiting for (Y/N) to continue,
“Yes, I mean, I could try to see how long the password is?” Quinn states,
“Perfect, cause this bitch is finally awake” you reply as Aleksandra looks up at you,
“Well, you got me, whoop de do! What now darling?” Aleksandra asks smiling,
“(Y/N), put me on speaker” Olivia tells you via the earpiece, as you pull it out and click on your cell,
“Aleksandra, this is Olivia Pope. Do you know who I am?” Olivia's voice comes out of your cell as you put it on the table,
“Da, everyone knows Olivia Pope” Aleksandra states,
“Well listen to me, if you do not give my associate here, the correct password into your laptop. I will let the men take you to the U.N. to be tried and charged with multiple accounts of drug smuggling, human trafficking, kidnappings, murders and weapons trafficking and most likely sentenced to a life of torture where you wished you were sentenced to death instead” Olivia threatens over the cell making goosebumps come up as you believed it. Aleksandra thought for a moment before considering it,
“The password is Ruby Tiger. Capital r and t and space between” Aleksandra offers,
“Quinn?” you ask,
“It fits, but if it’s wrong it will erase everything on the laptop including where are client’s precious is” Quinn states as (Y/N) plugs in the password as the laptop dings and it loads the desktop completely untouched.
“I’m in, Quinn?” you reply as you see the mouse moves by itself,
“I got the information. Actually, I got all of it. Every victim, weapons, drugs and cargo she ever smuggled for whatever reason and every place and ways she's uses” Quinn states as she looks over the information, as she sends it all to their server so they can sift through it,
“Great, what about her?” you ask,
“Give her too Irene” Olivia says as the said woman busts through the doors with armed men,
“Well I see you actually have things under control. Hello (Y/N)” Irene says smiling at you as she moves to hug you,
“Hello Deputy Director, when did that happen?” you ask as you pull back,
“Just recently. Hurley. Rapp.” Irene smiles and nods to the two men then looks back and forth between Mitch and you with a look,
“What? Do I have something on my face?” you ask completely forgetting the love bites all over your neck and pull out your compact and then blush when you see them again, closing it and look at her as she gives you that mom look,
“Really? Another one of my operatives?” Irene smiles and laughs a little shaking her head at you,
“Another one?” Mitch asks raising his eyebrow at you,
“There may have been an fellow operative or two in my past” you say laughing nervously,
“May have been? Hurley, what number does Mitch make?” Irene asks the older man who shares her smile,
“Uh, twenty I think” Hurley replies standing up and put his arm around Mitch smiling,
“Twe-twe-twenty?” Mitch stutters looking at you in shock,
“Hey some of those weren’t field agents! Some were desk people and hackers….” you begin to defend yourself but stop when you look at Mitch, then look down at your feet,
“People….as in not just men?” Mitch asks out loud as his mind pictures it,
“Some weren’t alone and the others were drunk nights with friends” you tell him,
“M-m-more than one person at a time….and with both men and women?” Mitch utters moving too sit down,
“See, the Black Widow name fits now doesn’t it?” Hurley states as you shoot him a glare,
“But hey! They were all just fwbs and drunken one night stands! Mitch is…..” you begin but stop yourself from continuing,
“What? Different?” Irene asks you laughing but when you look at her she stops laughing, she sees it in your eyes,
“Wow, I knew there was something I liked about you” Aleksandra says as you all look at her,
“Take her out of here!” Irene orders the men as they do that, leaving you four in the room,
“Well this has been fun, we should do it again sometime. Irene, I’ll send you a copy of the information. Hurley. Rapp. (Y/N), report back when you’re on your way home.” Olivia states,
“Olivia, didn’t know you’d be hear as with your new associate you stole. And we should have drinks to catch up sometime” Irene replies,
“Olivia” Hurley says back,
“Uh, Hi, Miss Pope” Mitch says nervously,
“Will do” you simply say,
“It’s Olivia, Rapp” Olivia tells him but the line dies.
“Why are you here Irene?” you ask realizing she didn’t say,
“Well when Hurley lost contact with Mitch, which I’m guessing was your fault” Irene looks at you, making you blush while you shake your head yes,
“Hurley called, saying how you’d shown up and he lost contact with Mitch” Irene continues as you remember his cell you pocketed earlier reach into your purse to hand it back to him as with his weapons,
“Hey! I didn’t even know I lost it” Mitch says grabbing his cell looking at you,
“That’s terrible Rapp. More training for you when we get back” Hurley tells his protege shaking his head in disappointment,
“Gee, thanks” Mitch mumbles to you,
“And when Hurley stopped talking, I assumed I had to come save the day. I was just leaving Barcelona in Spain when I turned the plane around to come here. And now what’s with you and Mitch?” Irene asks you,
“Um...honestly I don’t know” you reply then look at him,
“It’s weird, this feeling I have, it started slow when I first seen him. But it grew rapidly, especially when I kissed him, his touch send sparks flying. It awoke something in me I can’t really describe….sorta like…” you say getting lost in his eyes,
“My heart beat for the first time” you and Mitch say at the same time,
“Well, the only thing I have to say is, don’t fuck up your jobs because of each other” Irene says smiling at the two of you,
“Remember, never let it get personal. Oh and wrap it up, I don’t want any babies around” Hurley states smiling at you two,
“I agree, I’m too pretty to be a grandma yet” Irene says,
“Stan! Irene!” you say laughing as Mitch looks at you confused,
“Oh, didn’t you know Stan is my legal guardian as with Irene?” you tell him as he smiles at you wrapping his arms around you.
You both stare at each other, lost in each other’s eyes, every emotion shown. Your world brighter then it was when you first got here, then it was yesterday or a month ago. You see your future in front of you, not wanting to change a single thing. You feel he feels the same way, somehow you know it to be true, it’s in his eyes. You both lean in and kiss with all the love and passion you can muster.
“Kay, well we gotta go” Irene says sadly at you two making you tear up as well as Mitch.
Eventually, sadly you said goodbye to Irene, her having to go to New York for some meeting with the Director of the F.B.I. on some incident. Sadly you also had to say goodbye to Hurley and Mitch, both men having to had back to the Farm. Having to say bye to your only mother and father figures since your parents died made you sad. Seeing them was great, you would always love them, and they always had a place in your heart.
Now you are on your plane heading home back to P&A headquarters in D.C., as you call Olivia back leaning forward to take off your heels,
“(Y/N)” Olivia’s voices booms over the line,
“Olivia” you say smiling,
“Rapp” Olivia says nonchalantly,
“Uh...Hi…Olivia” Mitch speaks up shocked as you lean back into his side cuddling up.
Oh yeah, you couldn’t say goodbye to Mitch, and neither could he. So he tagged along with you on your jet while Hurley went alone with theirs. He accepted it, saying how he would actually get some sleep for once without the younger guy waking him up with his researching. You look at the man beside you, smiling brightly at him, as he returns your smile.
“Well, we found out where precious is being held” Olivia tells you, making you look at the cell,
“Where?” you ask as Mitch looks confused,
“Quinn found out Precious is being held in New York. Do you need me to send someone else?” Olivia says,
“Precious?” Mitch asks you,
“Precious is the nickname of Marissa Cohen, daughter of Senator Cohen of California.” you tell him handing him your profile on Marisa,

“Marissa was taken while attending the Washington Annual Charity Gala in D.C. three weeks ago. I was put on the case when Senator Cohen came to Olivia that night, no one knew she was missing until a ransom note was given to the Senator” you say, remembering every detail about that night,
“No knew? How?” Mitch asked,
“Cause it was a Masquerade Dance, someone replaced her with a woman who needed money. So after we talked with the woman, I sent (Y/N) out to follow through which lead us to a shipping company owned by Alexandra. Which now you're caught up, you free to head to New York, she needs to attend a meeting that’s taken place and she doesn't’ have time to drop you off” Olivia tells you guys waiting for Mitch to answer,
“Uh yeah, I’ll just have to call Hurley” Mitch answers Olivia,
“Ok, you need to be at F.B.I. HQ at 1 p.m. tomorrow. Call me when you’re in the meeting” Olivia tells you two and hangs up,
“You wanna join me for a case?” you ask the guy next to you,
“Always” he replies leaning in to kiss you as you both smile into it.
Again you both feel your heart beat for the second time.

(1/14)I am so sorry for taking so long! (I also had to spend a lot of time studying this week bc I had my first exam for my Anatomy Lab on Wednesday... And then we had our first exam for *Lecture* Thursday (which also was the day I had a bunch of powerpoints due for my very intimidating adviser...) and then I had to substitute teach all day Friday (and then I meant to respond sooner but I got so busy 😭) so yeah I completely understand about school getting in the way no worries abt it!)
And also sleeping in on a day off when you’ve been busy studying lately is completely valid hon 👌 I hope that your midterms go well and that you’re able to stay healthy and take care of yourself in the midst of preparing! (not that you wouldn’t, I just have a bad habit of neglecting things like healthy sleeping and eating habits when I get caught up studying, so hopefully you’re not like me in that way) And yeah me too! I mean on the one hand I understand *why* they have that limit
3)If u could just send as many as u want there would be so much more spam and ppl would definitely abuse that. But also?? Um? I have a chronic condition called ‘Can'tShuttheFuckUp-itis’? 🤷 This policy is so discriminatory towards people like me who suffer from this crippling condition! I feel oppressed honestly 🙄 tumblr rlly has something against ppl just trying to get to know each other huh? Lol, but at least now we know why it eats them I’ll be sure to try to prevent that in the future
4)And oh my gosh that’s so cool! I’m super jealous!! 😮 lol. I wish they hosted kpop nights at my local bar! 😭😭 But no, I’m here at my little state college in a little 2 mi2 town just under pop 5500 (and idek if that’s before or after counting college students) in the middle of the 'farm zone’ of my state. All we get is country night @Riley’s 😩 RIP. But ya I wish I had more ppl around me who were into kpop! So far I’ve only met 3 ppl who listen to it. One was that roommate I told you about
5)One is just a casual listener who isn’t really into 3rd gen groups and mostly just listens to Girl’s Generation but that’s valid, and one isn’t even rlly a fan of any groups in particular, she just puts the kpop station on when she studies bc she says she needs music but if it’s in English she gets distracted, lol And omg that is insane! $500?? And 5 copies of the same album? 😲 (Says the girl who’s been a Monbebe for a hot 2 months and has already bought three (3??) Monsta X T-shirts… 😂
6)in my defense tho one of them was only $10 bc it was Black Friday? And u can’t blame me, Hot Topic is my krypotonite lmao) but yeah I already feel guilty about spending 30+ dollars on one copy of an album (thx international shipping) That’s so wild. And yeah I don’t get why ppl feel the need go out of their way just to insult other ppl’s music taste. I’m also pretty self conscious abt sharing my music taste and obviously the way everyone around me talks abt kpop has made me even moreso now 🙃
7) I haven’t gotten into too many groups yet bc I’m trying to go slowly and focus on getting into one group at a time but I do have a long list of groups I plan on getting into eventually! NU'EST is one that I’ve heard some of their songs on my Spotify based on my listening history and they’re on the list haha 😂 And omg I feel really similarly about Got7! I tried to get into them after I got into Monsta X and right before I got into Astro and although I did really like some of their songs
8)I haven’t really been able to get into their music as much as MX and Astro’s yet. I do think they seem like a really fun group in terms of personality though. As for the comeback I know right?? I mean I know a lot of ppl were freaking out abt the comeback being a 'sexy’ and how it wasn’t gonna be the same cute Astro we all love anymore. But they filled the MV with flowers and glitter and still managed to make it sexy as fuck! This album has a very different vibe but it still felt like them
9) They managed to pull off a more mature and sexy concept while still staying true to themselves and I’m so here for it! I don’t know if I could really pick a favorite era because I love them all! I mean Spring Up was an excellent era and every era since then has been great. They really don’t know how to have any bad concepts or make any bad songs huh? Lol. Since I’m still pretty new I really love the title tracks since I’ve heard them the most. (I have listened to their full discography
10)But I haven’t listened to their Bsides enough to pick out my favorites from those) I also really love Again though! The first time I saw the dance practice I was super into it and then I looked up the lyrics and was like 'this is supposed to be sad/regretful song it has no reason to be this much of a BOP?!’ 😂 I have such a hard time picking favorites though. Since All Light is new though I actually have listened to it enough times to pick some 'non-title song favorites’ from there haha
11) Other than All Night (which is great, obvi) I also really like Starry Sky, Moonwalk and Role Play 😂 and Bloom is so pretty oh my god! 😭😭 the album is great and has no bad songs but those are the ones I particularly like. I feel u about the dances honestly. I think that’s actually what drew me to kpop initially. I mean I like listening to the songs ofc but it wasn’t until after I actually watched an MV/saw the choreography that I actually was like… Oh shit I’m gonna have to be a fan now
12) It was the visual aspect that really made me want to be a kpop fan bc I haven’t really seen that level of performance with any western music. Which isn’t to say I think all western music is bad but I think it’s really impressive to watch kpop groups singing and also doing really impressive choreography and performing at the same time. Plus that’s the part I can show my family and say 'even if you don’t like the music because of the language barrier you have to admit they’re talented dancers’
13)And yes! With Astro especially I think the dance practices rlly succinctly capture the reason why I love them so much. They are *super* talented but they also have such great chemistry and u can rlly tell that they just love each other and have so much fun together! I love a family of six hardworking dorks! 🤧💗 lol. And yeah it’s too bad that neither of are able to see them this cb ☹️ (I also did the 'hypothetically…’ research but it wouldn’t have worked out 😒) I hope you’re right though!
14)Hopefully the success of this comeback is the catalyst to Astro getting more of the attention they deserve and there will be many more opportunities to see them in the future! (Although it is too bad we won’t be able to see live performances from this cb, since it’s so pretty 😭 tho with their track record I’m sure future cb’s will be just as good lol) But what about you? Do you have any favorite songs from this cb in particular? Talk again soon! (I’ll try 2 b better @ responding 😭) -AHA
FUCKKK okay so after like a million years of midterms + 2 days straight of sleeping ya girl is BACK to answer these asks after getting through the hurdle of copying and pasting and italicizing 14 asks onto one response on my phone. Did I perhaps fail at least 3 of my midterms? Quite probably. Do I have the energy to care atm? No. Did I need to get away from everything and fly to Boston to visit my friend for reading week? Yes.
How did all your exams go? That sounds crazy though! I hope you got through everything ok!
Tbh I have the same unhealthy habits too, I essentially became nocturnal and lived on like one meal a day + snacks and coffee 😭 fr, I would be writing my midterm from 11:30-1:30, go home to eat, sleep from 4-7pm, then wake up to study all night for the next one, and repeat,,,,, I’m like an actual mess tbh
Honestly as much as I’ve enjoyed the Aroha secret admirer thing (it was sooo nice getting to meet new people) rn I’m just so glad that post-reveal we don’t have to deal with tumblr ask limits and writing entire essay responses all in one go.
Honestly 3 shirts isn’t even THAT bad especially if they weren’t all like ordered from overseas so they wouldn’t have been that expensive. When I went to the Myeongdong underground shopping centre I went craaaazy with Kpop merch despite stanning (at that point, pretty much only) BTS for a whole 3 weeks, so I ended up coming back with 2 albums, a bunch of stickers, a photocard pack (also bonus: got an Astro one too) and like a BUNCH of bt21 stuff. Speaking of, my All Light album finally came in!! I ended up getting a Moonbin, MJ, Jinjin, and Sanha photocard plus the a Rocky lyric booklet and ik I basically got THE best set for someone who loves all of them w my whole heart 😩✊ but I’m still sad I didn’t get any Eunwoo cards since he was my first Astro bias 😭 it’s soooooo pretty I love it sm and like lowkey I’ll probably end up buying more of their albums anyway oopsss
Tumblr media
Speaking of Monsta X btw, I heard their new song and I thought it was really good! What did you think of it?
Regarding favourite songs, I swear my moods change so much, so it’s pretty common for me to not love a song at first and sort of rediscover it months later, and tbh that’s kind of what happened with Innocent Love, Baby, and Again. In this album though, I’d say my favourite Bsides are probably be Bloom, 1 in a Million, and Heart Brew Love.
And I toootally agree with the performance aspect of kpop being the thing to attract me it, even before I got really into it I’d sometime like to watch dance practices (and lowkey even learned a bunch of choreos a with my friend last term just bc we had access to a frequently empty dance studio). It’s just super impressive to see people singing and dancing at the same time mostly live, and for the same reasons I’m also super into musicals as well, which isn’t so say I think like lip syncing or just dancing/singing is bad, it’s just refreshing to see it done all at once, you know?
Also side story it turns out that I actually DO know another Astro fan irl!! Her older sister (who I’m closer to bc we’re closer in age) is the one who bought the million got7 albums. Even though she’s been a fan of Astro since before debut, her sister doesn’t even know she listens to kpop since she was afraid of getting roasted at first, but now she’s in too deep to say anything. I’d mentioned liking Astro to her before, but she didn’t say anything bc she didn’t want to expose herself in front of her sister but on Friday I saw her while her sister was out and she was like “oh btw here’s a secret I went to the Toronto fanmeet last year but my sister doesn’t know” I was SHOOK but tbh I’m just super glad now to have someone to talk about it and go to concerts with (I’m banking on the fact that they’re coming back)
Anyway, THANK YOU SO MUCH for waiting 2747287482 million years for my response, and it was so great to finally (officially) meet you Kjersten!

Omg you're from Finland?? So cool!! As an American that is very seriously considering moving out of country somewhere and is considering moving to a Scandinavian country, I'd really appreciate it if you'd share a little bit about what life is like there? Do you enjoy living in Finland?? Sorry if this is weird...America is just a pretty scary place to be lately.
first of all; i spent half an hour writing the answer and then accidentally closed the tab. i am sCREAMING INSIDE !!!!!
but, lets do this again, so:
hey!! yeah i am from finland! born and raised! and its not weird to ask ,, tbh i kinda get your point. i actually answered to an ask yesterday telling what are my 5 favorite things about living in finland, but i can tell you some more under the cut, especially differences etc ! this was actually fun to write 
ok first things first, food is very expensive. ofc not in fast food chains like mc donalds etc, but restaurant-restaurants are expensive and also grocery stores, unless you’re buying the store’s own product so at least we’ve got a cheaper option. but yeah restaurants are very expensive (salads starting from 12euros, pizzas from 13euros, chinese/nepalese starting from 12euros, sushi is so damn expensive dont even get me started on that, i only ever eat it in a lunch buffet… and if you wanna order a steak or something like that lmao prepare to pay nearly 20euros OR MORE),, anyway during lunch hours there are usually special offers. coffee prices aren’t that bad. we also have starbucks! but not all the drinks that you guys have
just like food, alcohol is very expensive, so if you like your liquor be ready waste a lot of money on it. thats why finnish people actually go to estonia by ship to full the cabinets bc their alcohol is so much cheaper! its a finnish tradition lol. same goes with cigarettes. its 8 euros for a pack in here so 9 dollars.
traveling abroad is pretty expensive, but mostly just to the states and some very exotic places like the maldives idk. its like 1000euros to travel to california (i would know because i’ve always wanted to visit but im poor af 3). traveling inside finland is not that expensive , gas is p expensive but depends on the gas station 
clothes are not that expensive, at least it depends on what you’re buying. mostly anyway its the same price range that in usa i think but we don’t have the same stores, at least not forever 21 and primark for example but we do have h&m and zara and then some european stores like bik bok (which is my personal fav!) also victoria’s secret is super expensive cause it’s not normal for finns. there are only 2 of them in here anyway, one in the capital city aka helsinki and a small one at the airport
now to holidays! in actual calendar order ;-) valentine’s day; not big on celebrating, stores have stuff and some people do spend it but… not like… many easter; we have a thing similar to trick or treating, kids only dress as bunnies and witches tho may day; basically students (from like college) get “crowned “with student caps. everyone goes out to a park for a picnic and to drink. a lot. im telling you finnish people are huge drunks,, also its part of the tradition to dress funnily, stores sell weird may day clothing (like glittery hats and neon colored sunglasses), also there are sugar donuts and a either alcoholic or non-alcoholic (you decide) drink called sima. aaand decorations like balloons and paper streamers are literally everywhere midsummer; other finns go to their cottages and barbecue and go to sauna and swim in the lake. others go to a festival to get wasted. either way its a beautiful finnish tradition lmao, also this is the night when the sun shines for the whooole night!! not like literally shines but its not dark at all. there are bonfires and honestly, i’d say midsummer is the one holiday where finnish people really drink. like its -the- heavy drinking holidayhalloween; NO trick or treating which was very sad to kid-me bc no one gave me candy when i went t-o-t as a kid. also still pissed off cause it’s my fav holiday. stores sell halloween stuff and people dress up for parties, but no one really decorates. which sucks. finland sucks for halloween tbh. one plus is that we have the perfect halloween weather because its super dark and chilly and rainy and orange leaves everywhere during halloween-time!!thanks-giving; very very very little people celebrate this. definitely not a common thing. i only do it with friends and we call it friends-givingindependence day; obviously finland’s independence day. 100 years this year!!! christmas; 1000000% celebrate. so much snow. so cold. every store has christmas things and plays christmas music. everyone decorates. i mean it’s only fair bc santa claus lives in finland duhnew year; well i don’t think theres a country that doesn’t celebrate this tbh. stores sell stuff again. we have fireworks. also a lot of drinking. againalso obvs moher’s day and father’s day
concerts happen, not as often (especially with big stars) as they do in the states, but they happen! so do festivals. i actually summer-work at the largest one in finland ayyyyyy 
also, finnish people swear. like. a lot
MINUSES;- it can get freezing in the winter. last winter the lowest we hit was like -32 degrees- most of the time during summer it rains. this is also a finnish people joke because there was a meme saying “in the bible it rained for 40 days and 40 nights. they called it the apocalypse. in finland it rained for 40 days and 40 nights. they called it summer”- some finns are very narrow-minded, so expect not everyone to definitely not agree with you. i actually have a hard time dealing with this and usually always stood out from the mass mainly bc i am way too social and open-minded and everything to hang out with kids my age because their opinions and standards never really match to mine. finns are tbh kinda raised to be cold and they have to be well educated. oh boy if you only would’ve heard all the things they have told me after i have told them that i wanna make a living out of singing and acting and writing! - well the expensive things that i mentioned and the lack of halloween :-( - also if you wanna make it big, like international-big, in the music industry for example, it is very hard to try and do that from here because literally no one either knows that we exist or thinks that we live in igloos and have polar bears in our backyard. also everyone loves sweden more lmao and we hate that. there’s actually a finnish joke ,, we won them in hockey one year with 6-1 and every time we argue with a swedish person… thats always a great comeback, no matter how long its been :-)
PLUS- THINGS;+ we are mostly a very safe country with an amazing president+ free health insurance+ free studying + same sex marriage is approved+ summer is very beautiful if its not raining. especially in the countryside. amazing!!! + finns aren’t over-all bad, for example there is an incredible bond between finns when it comes to extreme finnish stuff, like midsummer drinking, seeing dramatic movies that revolve around finnish history (like war for example, a re-make of an old movie called the unknown soldier just came out and it was intense in the cinema!), hockey victory and this especially!!!! like it doesn’t matter if you hated that guy from your math class, if you two run into each other on a victory night, you fucking hug for three hours because WE FUCKING WON and tbh that is what i find most beautiful in our culture. its cute + ok honestly, just christmas again. finland is the winter wonderland i am telling you!
overall, i enjoy living in finland very much. it is a home and even though i wish to live abroad one day, finland will always be my home!! so if you really wanna move out, i suggest you at least consider finland. we are actually an amazing country. i hope this helped you! XO

This is a massive anon ask answer post. I’m so sorry I have been very bad with these, have been reading them but haven’t had any energy to answer them, but!! thank you so much for sending them, I really appreciate the thoughts, you all are lovely, never stop being awesome ;w;
Answers below the cut:

Hey anon, sorry it’s so much! The reason is because USPS postal prices for International shipping is exorbitant and that is completely out of my control. I would opt to use another service but USPS is the cheapest option for you and for me so this is the best I can do. What I can tell you is that all my international packages are insured so if it gets lost they will cover it. And that I stick a heck of a lot more extra goodies in there because I know how expensive it is for you guys! Hope it helps!

I really should put this in my faq actually thanks for reminding me! In the past because a lot of rper’s just took my art without asking first, I usually am not okay with it, but also because of the frequency of use of the icons I would actually prefer ppl not use my art for rp, I’m sorry!

I’ve seen a lot of artists do Bunny Niles and they drew him so well, you should check them out!
Tumblr media
hmmm are you talking about reference materials for materials to use? Because for either or, you don’t need a lot to get started! Just paper, a drawing medium you like and then something to draw. To learn basics I’d suggest life drawing, but if you have a style you prefer, life drawing is still important, just draw from life using your own style!
Tumblr media
Thank you! I didn’t really have any time to do any more easter art but if they have any other themed events in the future it is definitely a consideration ^^
