She probably wasn't supposed to see it, but she did and boy was she never going to let this one down. Ever.
"Really Huckleberry, you have a tattoo of a cowboy hat?"
"What? How did you know that?!" Lucas' hand automatically went to the side of his hip, as if placing it over his shirt would somehow make her un-see the little tattoo peeking out from above his shorts.
Maya didn't try to hide the smirk that stretched onto her face. "Where did you get it done, Cowboy? Back in Texas or here in New York?”
Lucas narrowed his eyes to try and glare at her but it was more of a pathetic attempt since he couldn’t get past the fact that this blonde beauty was smiling at him all pretty or whatever.
“That, is none of your business-”
“DID YOU SAY TATTOO?” Lucas flinched at the sound of Riley’s high-pitched scream. Maya’s smirk grew into a full-blown grin as she turned to see Riley exit the public beach bathroom, a sundress thrown over her bikini as a cover up.
It was finally the summer after their high school graduation and they couldn’t have found a better place to relax than at the beach. The Matthews had made their way to Long Island and rented a small vacation home, inviting their kids’ friends, for a short trip over the weekend.
“That’s right, Riles, Heehaw here got himself a tattoo. And I gotta say, it’s pretty-” Lucas moved with the speed of light, covering Maya’s mouth with his hand, which ended up muffling the rest of her sentence. Maya squinted her eyes at him before biting the inside of his hand, resulting in a yelp from Lucas as he yanked his hand away.
Riley gasped loudly, her hand going to rest on top of her chest as she stared at the two of them in shock. “Lucas! I can not believe this!”
“Can’t believe what?” Nursing his wounded hand to his chest, Lucas groaned out loud when he saw Farkle also emerge from the bathroom, wearing a whole ensemble of floaties and swim trunks.
Riley turned to Farkle, gripping onto his forearm tightly. “Lucas has a tattoo!”
Farkle blinked at her twice before glancing between the girls and Lucas.
“Okay, so…?”
Lucas wished the ground beneath him would open up and swallow him whole. “Oh my god, it’s not a big deal! It's just a tattoo! Everyone gets them nowadays!”
Maya tilted her head to the side, nodding slightly but still thinking about the whole concept of a tattoo. Lucas was right: getting a tattoo wasn’t abnormal, especially since everyone was of legal age. Still, she couldn’t wrap her head around the thought of Lucas having a tattoo.
“Yeah, but you’re Moral Compass; you’re not supposed to get tattoos. And if I saw correctly, was that a horse? A horse wearing a cowboy hat?”
“I am not having this conversation with you.” Feeling his face start to heat up, Lucas turned and began to walk in the direction of where their other friends had gone to sit on the beach. Somewhere in the distance, he spotted Zay’s obnoxious red trunks and Isadora’s massive beach hat.
“Oh, come on, Huckleberry! Don’t be like that! I just wanna know where you got it done!”
“Maya, would you just let it go-”
“But it's a tattoo! I want a tattoo!”
Riley gasped again, this time smacking Maya’s arm. “Maya Penelope Hart! Don’t you dare!” Maya simply shrugged in response, softly rubbing the area where Riley had hit her as the three of them followed closely behind Lucas, who was trying to scurry away from them.
“What? Ranger Rick can get a tattoo but I can’t? What kind of favoritism is this?” Riley rolled her eyes, slipping her arm through Maya’s as they got closer to Zay and Isadora.
“It’s not favoritism! I’m sure Lucas has his reasons for getting a tattoo.” Maya snorted as Riley’s nose scrunched up at the end of her sentence. Only Riley would try to rationalize getting a tattoo, Maya thought as she shook her head lightly.
“There doesn’t have to be a reason to get a tattoo, Riles.” Lucas managed to mumble out loud, finally reaching Zay and plopping down on the beach towel next to him.
There was a sparkle in Zay’s eyes as he barely caught on to what Lucas had just said. “Oh! Did Lucas finally tell you about his tattoos?”
“Tattoos? As in plural? As in, Huckleberry here has more than one?”
“Uh…” There was an awkward silence as Zay looked between Maya’s smug smile and Lucas’s glare.
“I am going to kill you, Zay.”
“Oops.” He shrugged before turning his full attention back to his bag of chips, reaching in to grab a handful and then proceeding in shove it in his mouth. “I mean, they were going to find out sooner or later.” He said with his mouth full.
Riley placed a hand to her chest again, blinking rapidly as she tried to process the new information, before shaking her head. “I-I… I’m going to go into the water. Anyone want to join me?”
“Ooh me! Let’s go, bubbles!” Isadora threw off her hat before taking Riley’s stretched out hand and grabbing the back of Farkle’s swim shirt to drag him with her.
“Hey! I didn’t say I wanted to go!”
“Farkle, don’t tell me you dressed up in all that just to sit in the sand and watch the water from afar?”
“W-well! So what if I did!”
Maya shook her head, a smile on her face, as the three figures grew smaller and smaller until they reached the water. Turning her gaze back to Lucas, she couldn’t help but narrow her eyes at him. As if he wanted to ignore where the previous conversation was heading, he was now immersed in a heavy debate with Zay about which sport would be better to play on the beach: volleyball or frisbee.
Poking him on his side, Lucas jumped and let out a high pitched yelp before turning and sending Maya a heated glare, which she returned with a wide grin.
“Now that I’ve got your attention again, mind telling me more about these tattoos of yours?”
Lucas groaned again, putting his head in his hands as Zay beamed at Maya. “Hey Hart, did you know I have my own tattoos?”
“No way! Where?”
“Don’t encourage her, Zay!”
Ignoring Lucas’ protest, Maya’s eyes twinkled as Zay pulled off his tank top to reveal his smooth brown skin underneath. Her eyes widened as she noticed the different kinds of tattoos Zay had that spread from his chest, to the back of his shoulder blade, and then down his arms. Some were connected to create a pattern while others were scattered across his body. Maya watched in amazement as she tried to take everything in, her eyes moving back and forth among the tattoos.
“Woah, you got all of these?”
“Yup. I wanna get more too but I haven’t figured out which ones I want yet.”
“That’s, actually really cool, Zay. You gotta take me next time you get one.”
Zay chuckled, nodding his head as he grabbed his shirt to shrug it back on. “Alright, your turn, Lucas.”
“You guys actually suck.” Although he was complaining, that didn’t stop himself from revealing his tattoos. Lucas gripped the edge of his shirt, looking between Maya and Zay, who were staring at him so intensely he was sure they could see right into his soul. Taking a deep breath, he lifted his shirt just enough to show the top of his tattoo, and then nudged his swim trunks down to reveal the entire thing.
“Aha, I was right!” Maya grinned, pointing at Lucas as the image of a horse with a cowboy hat nested between its ears appeared before her eyes. It was very detailed, Maya noticed, to the point where both the horse and the hat looked very realistic, almost as if it was photographed into his skin.
Lucas felt the tips of his ears grow hot before he rearranged his clothes back into place to conceal his tattoo.
“Okay, whatever, I was drunk as fuck when I got it. Honestly, I don’t even remember most of that night or how it happened.”
Maya let out a low whistle, placing her hands behind her on the sand as she leaned back, pushing her sunglasses up her nose when the sun continued to beat down on her. “Damn, Huckleberry, I guess you really were different back in Texas.”
Lucas snorted, looking away to focus his attention on Farkle, Smackle and Riley who were playing in the water far ahead of them. “Forget about Texas Lucas. I’m not like that anymore.”
“Hmm, I guess not. But, what other tattoo do you have?” Lucas sent Zay a glare, who just smiled back at him, not really meeting Lucas’ eyes.
“You’re really not going to let this go until I show you, are you?”
“Correctamundo, Hop-Along!”
Lucas let out a heavy sigh before peeling his tank top off, turning to show his back to Maya. Once his shirt had been removed, Maya smiled softly as the image of blue flowers inked skillfully onto his left side appeared before her, the stem of the flower inching downwards to his hip.  
“Aww, Ranger Rick, you have flowers on your back-”
“Actually, they’re Texas Bluebells. And before you even start, yes, it’s a matching tattoo. I got it with my mom.”
“Aww, look at you being such a mama’s boy- Wait, hold on. What’s that?”
Maya’s hand unconsciously reached out, the tips of her finger barely tracing the sphere located on his right shoulder blade. Inside the sphere was a carefully drawn out scene of a geometric mountain at night, the background filled with constellation of stars mixed with hues of dark blues and purples. At the tip of the mountain stood six bright stars in white, surrounding the top of the mountain in a crown-like image.
“That’s his favorite tattoo.” Zay stared at Lucas when he didn’t say anything. “Well? Aren’t you gonna explain?”
“Why must you make my life so difficult?”
“I wouldn’t be your best friend if I didn’t.”
Lucas rolled his eyes but proceeded to explain, staring off into the ocean, not meeting Maya’s or Zay’s piercing gaze.
“It’s my most recent tattoo that I got with Zay a couple months ago.” Maya opened her mouth, questions ready to spew when Lucas beat her to it. “Yes, I got this one here in New York.”
“You’re so boring, you’re not letting me ask questions!”
“Oh my f- okay, what do you want to know?”
Maya smiled triumphantly, crossing her arms as she stared him down. “What do the six stars surrounding the mountain peak mean?”
Lucas looked her right in the eye as he said, “You guys.”
Maya’s smile faltered, her arms uncrossing and going limp at her sides. “Wait, what?” She was not expecting that.
Lucas finally broke their gaze, turning to look off into the distance as he explained. “I like looking at the stars and stuff: it helps me think. That’s why I placed the constellations as the background. Moving here, you guys helped me change into a better version of me. I actually had this design in mind for awhile now, since like middle school.”
“Really? That long?”
Lucas nodded his head, smiling as Farkle splashed water at Riley and Isadora. “I don’t say this enough, but you guys kind of guided me into who I am today. So I figured it was fitting to place you guys as the main stars.”
There was a pause as Lucas zoned out, the only thing he could hear was the ocean waves crashing against the sand and the chirping sounds coming from the pigeons above. Maya, on the other hand, couldn’t take her eyes off of him. As she listened to him, she felt her feelings for this boy grow just a tad bit heavier, as if they were laying flat on her chest and weighing her down. She shook her head briefly before reaching over and punching him lightly on the arm.
“Aww, you’re so cheesy, Huckleberry.”
Lucas wasn’t even fazed; he simply rolled his eyes as a soft smile graced his features. “Remind me again why I told you this?”
Maya smiled back at him, looking at him with such fondness that Zay had to look away from the both of them. “Cause you love me.”
“Hmm… I guess.”
“Okay but seriously, when are y’all taking me to get my tattoo?”
“... Did you just say y'all?”
“Not the point!”

Game of Thrones Season 7 Episode 5 Recap Pt. 1
I seriously need to vent about “Eastwatch so bear with me please.
WARNING: SPOILERS; not a D@€n€r¥$ fan; Jonsa shipper so yeah I’m biased af.
Before diving into the recap:
1.- This are only my opinions, humble analysis and random thoughts/musings about the episode, and I am in no form or way trying to convince people I know everything or that I’m absolutely right and whatever other reading is wrong, I actually Love that thing about fandom that everyone sees things in a different way, is fascinating
2.- I’m the literal embodiment of the Salt Throne, and I feel specially salty about this episode so if you are not comfortable with that stuff I highly recommend you not to read this. I will always stay in my lane and I am not closed off to debates as long as you extend the same politeness and respect of course.
3.- My analysis of certain ships/characters is based on what I think and feel as an audience, but in no form or way do I think people shouldn’t ship/like said ship/characters. Believe me on the fact I will always defend the right to love what you love, even my most hated NOTPS are valid and I will always support the shippers and multishippers even if we don’t interact.
————
1.- Back on the lake near HG, Bronn and Jaime are fine (I already knew they weren’t going to die but I am glad they don’t even have a scratch) and golden boy is pissed cuz Bronn wasn’t delicate enough during his brave rescue, and Bronn is like yeah but why did you do such a stupid ass thing she has a dragon Jamie a dragon!!!! but our Lannister boy didn’t even cared he was willing to die to get rid of D.
OK, but that was really what a hero would do??He doesn’t know D, and the good things she has done, and we know Jaime is more than flawed, he has done awfull things, and in his mind D is the biggest threat he has ever faced (I mean he is not wrong) and still found the courage to charge at her, he just watched his man die horrible painful deaths (mind you he got PTSD from his time with Aerys right then and there) and instead of fleeing like Bronn suggested he fought and was willing to die just so he could get rid of D… That really makes you think.
Anyway Bronn is like fuck you, you can’t die before you pay me dude! but you’re totally on your own if the Dragon Woman comes to KL xoxo.
I truly love Bronn.
2.- So yeah we’re strolling through the Field of Fire with Tyrion, he looks absolutely horrified (he should) while the Dothraki take swords and weapons form the dead (yikes, can we talk about the lack of humanising of the Dothraki? We only got to know them a lil’ back on s1 and s2 and still they look like terrible people with a ruthless violent culture and no real good redeeming qualities, I mean we don’t even get a lot of depth on any Mereenese, Yunkai or Astapori beyond the ohh wondrous mysha bullshit!! and then we have Dorne, you know the PoC of Westeros, storyline absolutely butchered and thrown to shit, and this actually stinks of racism) anyway we have like what 50? 100? Soldiers and I’m supposed to pat D in the back for not killing everyone??? You kidding me right? There were 10,000 Lannister-Tarly soldiers, she killed ¾ of the army, and yet she dares to say she didn’t came to murder them or orphan their children with the same condecending tone she used for the Meerenese, Astapori and Yunkaii people???? Miss me that bullshit, she had an adavantage from 10-1 there was no FUCKING way the Lannister-Tarlys were going to win, besides if she has the noble pure righteous heart she loves to parrot about she would have given them the chance to yield before she went Dracarys on their asses (you know like Jon Snow did in the BoB telling Ramsey they should have a 1 on 1 so other people wouldn’t die) she should have taken the food, but she didn’t so it would be real nice if she stopped with all those pretty but meaningless speeches that only make her look like a hypocrite (but I totally understand why she doesn’t “if I look back I’m lost” which basically means I’m too lazy and proud to learn from my mistakes and accept my flaws) anyway it all boils down to “bend the knee or die even tho I just said I didn’t came to kill you after I had already killed most of you” and I kid you not, just 5-10 people bent immediately, only when Drogon screeches menacingly at them is that most drop to their knees absolutely terrified (*instert the “this is not freedom, this is fear” meme from Captain America) what kind of choice is this???? No choice at all, is either accept me as your newest overlord or die in the flames (yikes, I never wanted her on the IT but now more than ever).
Other thing that piqued my interest is that she uses her famous line about destroying the wheel, basically this is a medieval equivalent of communism, she says there will be no more powerfull high lords and helpless small folk, okay good, totally support this, but D you seriously need to ask yourself how are you going to manage the transition and if your replacement of this feudalistic system is all the power lies in me, my Dragons and my small council if/when I’m in the mood to actually listen then no fuck you. Communism is something we know, something we’ve seen before (Cuba, Russia, North Korea) and it has failed, even if theoretically it seems the most humanitarian and fair, in practice it has always caused an awful whiplash of tyranny, poverty and opression (history exists guys, and even if Westeros is a fantasy setting, GRRM based a lot of the stuff in ASOIAF in actual historical events) our society was not ready in any form or way for that kind of government and neither is the Westerosi society, but D is not a politician, she is a Queen and therefore she doesn’t care about future problems and consequences ‘til they hit her face and then she whines and complains about it.
Fortunately the Tarlys are having none of that overlord (overlady???) bullshit and will not kneel, is no secret I dislike Randyll Tarly cuz he is ruthless with his soldiers (flogging them for real??) and the way he treated Sam (fuck him) but he has a lot of strenght and dignity, he refuses to kneel because he already chose a side and he would stand by it even if it meant death, he is a hardass motherfucker if anything, Tyrion is like dude you seriously are going to fight for my evil sister? Point is that Cersei and D really give not much of an option do they Tyrion? As a matter of fact this scene is a good parallel to Cersei’s 7x01 one in the IT trash talking D and convincing (tho she is much more diplomatic) the Reach Lords to fight with her, then we see Randyll talk with Jaime and he says he only answered the call cuz he knew what Cersei does with her enemies. Here we have D’s pretty speech about how Cersei is evil and she is clearly the better option while intimidating them with her Dragon and Dothraki.But is the same! even if Cersei is more subtle in her approach. Anywhoo Randyll is like you say whatever you want about Queen C, but she is not a foreign invader with a army of infamous pillagers and rapers and dragons who burnt all the food of the Reach (k I added that last bit cuz I’m salty that no one seems to give a fuck about the food) and I know some people have been saying he sounded racist (he does not) that is not the case at all,every country requests being a citizen (among other things) to occupy a position in the government, because you have to know the country, lived there, care at least a little about it’s people and know them and let them know you, D meets none of this requirements, and yes it’s not her fault, it’s her dad’s and Robert’s that she had to live in exile, but still she has no right to proclaim herself as the better option when she has done nothing to show it.
So Randyll is ready to die, Tyrion wants to save him (I guess to convince himself that he made the right decision in supporting D) and suggests he is sent to the Wall, but Radyll is like nah man she has no authority to make me do shit cuz she ain’t my queen. Dickon (my brave and beautiful, and dumb son) steps out and says he won’t bend the knee also, Randyll and Tyrion collectively lose their shits (bitch me too the fuck) because they don’t want him to die and let house Tarly die with him (this rings to close to Tyrion cuz his evil sis killed the Tyrells and Aerys killed a Rickard and Brandon Stark, how is this any different from what D is doing now?) but D is ruthless and says she already gave them an option, Tyrion is still trying to be like hey how about you don’t start cutting heads off??? and D is like LMAO who said I was beheading them? Tyrion is left speechless (why were you expecting dude?? You watched her burn the army and the food, and she almost burnt your brother and your bff) but really is heartbreaking because he wanted so hard to see the mericful woman he admired and believed in and only sees a tyrant.
So of course I cried, because I played myself living in denial and happily shipping Dicksa (we can’t have nice things, but my ship is not going down, you can’t kill what is already dead!!!!) and beyond that it was heartbreaking seeing Randyll holding his son’s arm and them dying on ther feet. And I was reminded of one of the heroes of the mexican revolution, Emiliano Zapata who once said “I’d rather die on my feet, than live on my knees” what the Tarlys did was a common tragic hero trope.
After the Tarlys get roasted, everyone is on their knees and I would love to slap the satisfaction out of D’s face, because this is awful.

I rambled far too much so this needs a part 2
