6th January
(Liturgical Colour: White)
First Reading
1 John 5:5-13
The Spirit, the water, and the Blood.
Beloved: Who indeed is the victor over the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
This is the one who came through water and Blood, Jesus Christ, not by water alone, but by water and Blood. The Spirit is the one who testifies, and the Spirit is truth. So there are three that testify, the Spirit, the water, and the Blood, and the three are of one accord. If we accept human testimony, the testimony of God is surely greater. Now the testimony of God is this, that he has testified on behalf of his Son. Whoever believes in the Son of God has this testimony within himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar by not believing the testimony God has given about his Son. And this is the testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever possesses the Son has life; whoever does not possess the Son of God does not have life.
I write these things to you so that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in the name of the Son of God.
The Word of the Lord
R/ Thanks be to God.

Mark 1:7-11
You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.
This is what John the Baptist proclaimed: “One mightier than I is coming after me. I am not worthy to stoop and loosen the thongs of his sandals. I have baptized you with water; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
It happened in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John. On coming up out of the water he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon him. And a voice came from the heavens, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”

Either:
First Reading
Deuteronomy 10:8-9
The Lord himself is our heritage.
Moses summoned all of Israel and said to them: “At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to be in attendance before the LORD and minister to him, and to give blessings in his name, as they have done to this day. For this reason, Levi has no share in the heritage with his brothers; the LORD himself is his heritage, as the LORD, your God, has told him.”

R/ Thanks be to God.

1 Kings 19:4-9a, 11-15a
Go outside and stand on the mountain before the Lord.
Elijah went a day’s journey into the desert, until he came to a broom tree and sat beneath it. He prayed for death saying: “This is enough, O LORD! Take my life, for I am no better than my fathers.” He lay down and fell asleep under the broom tree, but then an angel touched him and ordered him to get up and eat. He looked and there at his head was a hearth cake and a jug of water. After he ate and drank, he lay down again, but the angel of the LORD came back a second time, touched him, and ordered, “Get up and eat, else the journey will be too long for you!” He got up, ate, and drank; then strengthened by that food, he walked forty days and forty nights to the mountain of God, Horeb.
There he came to a cave, where he took shelter. Then the LORD said to him, “Go outside and stand on the mountain before the LORD; the LORD will be passing by.” A strong and heavy wind was rending the mountains and crushing rocks before the LORD— but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake– but the LORD was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake there was fire– but the LORD was not in the fire. After the fire there was a tiny whispering sound. When he heard this, Elijah hid his face in his cloak and went and stood at the entrance of the cave. A voice said to him, “Elijah, why are you here?” He replied, “I have been most zealous for the LORD, the God of hosts. But the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to the sword. I alone am left, and they seek to take my life.” The LORD said to him, “Go, take the road back to the desert near Damascus.”

First reading
1 Kings 19:16b, 19-21
Elisha left and followed Elijah.
The LORD said to Elijah: “You shall anoint Elisha, son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah, as prophet to succeed you.”
Elijah set out and came upon Elisha, son of Shaphat, as he was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen; he was following the twelfth. Elijah went over to him and threw his cloak over him. Elisha left the oxen, ran after Elijah, and said, “Please, let me kiss my father and mother goodbye, and I will follow you.” Elijah answered, “Go back! Have I done anything to you?” Elisha left him and, taking the yoke of oxen, slaughtered them; he used the plowing equipment for fuel to boil their flesh, and gave it to his people to eat. Then he left and followed Elijah as his attendant.

Matthew 19:3-12
For the sake of the Kingdom of heaven.
Some Pharisees approached Jesus and tested him, saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause whatever?” He said in reply, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator made them male and female and said, For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, man must not separate.” They said to him, “Then why did Moses command that the man give the woman a bill of divorce and dismiss her?” He said to them, “Because of the hardness of your hearts Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. I say to you, whoever divorces his wife (unless the marriage is unlawful) and marries another commits adultery.” His disciples said to him, “If that is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.” He answered, “Not all can accept this word, but only those to whom that is granted. Some are incapable of marriage because they were born so; some, because they were made so by others; some, because they have renounced marriage for the sake of the Kingdom of heaven. Whoever can accept this ought to accept it.”

Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor; then come, follow me.
As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before him, and asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus answered him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall not defraud; honor your father and your mother.” He replied and said to him, “Teacher, all of these I have observed from my youth.” Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said to him, “You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” At that statement his face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions.
Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the Kingdom of God!” The disciples were amazed at his words. So Jesus again said to them in reply, “Children, how hard it is to enter the Kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of God.” They were exceedingly astonished and said among themselves, “Then who can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “For men it is impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God.” Peter began to say to him, “We have given up everything and followed you.” Jesus said, “Amen, I say to you, there is no one who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for my sake and for the sake of the Gospel who will not receive a hundred times more now in this present age: houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and eternal life in the age to come.”

But you, go and proclaim the Kingdom of God.” And another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but first let me say farewell to my family at home.” Jesus said to him, “No one who sets a hand to the plow and looks to what was left behind is fit for the Kingdom of God.”

Everyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple.
Great crowds were traveling with Jesus, and he turned and addressed them, “If anyone comes to me without hating his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. Which of you wishing to construct a tower does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if there is enough for its completion? Otherwise, after laying the foundation and finding himself unable to finish the work the onlookers should laugh at him and say, ‘This one began to build but did not have the resources to finish.’ Or what king marching into battle would not first sit down and decide whether with ten thousand troops he can successfully oppose another king advancing upon him with twenty thousand troops? But if not, while he is still far away, he will send a delegation to ask for peace terms. In the same way, everyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple.”

Why is it important for Gen Z and Millennials to stop shopping fast fashion for our future and future generations?
According to , MIDIP (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute website states that “the fashion industry is the second most polluting of all industries.", yet Gen Z and millennials are still consuming fast fashion increasingly till this day.
For example, INDYX website says that “Gen-Zers seem to be the biggest advocates for sustainable fashion and simultaneously the biggest consumers of fast fashion “. In fact, in a 2020 survey done by Vogue Business they found results that “more than half of its Gen Z participants bought most of their clothes from fast-fashion brands, like H&M, Gap, Zara and Forever 21. Market research firm Mintel has reported that Gen Z, generally seen as those born between 1997 and 2010, also buys more clothes than older generations, with the average Gen-Z owning hundreds of dollars' worth of outfits that never get worn at all. It’s a trend that analysts say is fueled by a social media culture that pressures youth and young adults to never wear the same outfit twice.” So why is it important for Gen Z and millennials to stop supporting these fast fashion brands?
Well according to journalist Eve Upton-Clark from Insider article that “As Gen Zer's get older, richer, and make up more of the fashion industry's market share, their habits have the potential to affect the industry for good — or ill. And pushing the fashion industry to be more sustainable is key in the fight against climate change: At our current rate, the fashion industry is on track to consume 26% of the world's carbon budget by 2050. And clothing production contributes 20% of all global wastewater, with an anticipated 50% increase in greenhouse-gas emissions from industry by 2030.”
So how can Gen Z and millennials stop shopping fast fashion so there can be change for upcoming future generations. Most of these changes can start I believe with Gen Z influencers who truly do influence many of these young consumers. Instagram, Tik Tokers and in general social media influencers who have such a large following always promote fast fashion brands like Shein, forever 21, Fashion Nova by stopping to support them.
As proof, trying to test this method out one of the famous influencers Nava Rose who is a Tik Tok influencer with 6 million followers teamed up with thredUP to give Gen-Zer's and Millennials a better way of shopping.
Forbes says “Together, Rose and thredUP are launching “The Dump Fast Fashion Shop.” (The resale giant is nothing, if not blunt.) “This unique storefront will offer consumers the chance to thrift Rose’s looks by using thredUP’s What They Thrifted tool, which uses AI to display hundreds of items on thredUP that resemble Rose’s thrifted picks,” She even agreed and pledged to not support any “ultra-fast fashion this year". Nava Rose even went out of her way and even made a Tik Tok video where she is apologizing “to her almost 6 million followers for her contributions to the fast fashion industry and explained how she had excused her beliefs through living an otherwise eco-conscious life, such as having a worm compost”.
Nava Rose committing to end consuming fast fashion her followers will follow in her footsteps. This hopefully inspires many more influencers who have a big platform to start shopping more ethically and eco-friendly but also just inspires people in general to start thinking of the long run damage that fast fashion will cause in the future years to come and change only starts with us Gen-Zers and Millennials first. I suggest you go through your closet and reconsider if your shopping habits are helping reduce the pollution that fashion is causing it or increasing it? and if it is to find better ways to change it.

I worked again on my old OC I had forgotten in my shelves. I wanted to apply what I learned in my first character design classes at art school. I still have a lot to learn but I'm already proud of how my Jay-jay evolved!

6th January (before Epiphany)
(Liturgical Colour: White: B (2))
First Reading
1 John 5:5-13
The Spirit, the water, and the Blood.
Beloved: Who indeed is the victor over the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
This is the one who came through water and Blood, Jesus Christ, not by water alone, but by water and Blood. The Spirit is the one who testifies, and the Spirit is truth. So there are three that testify, the Spirit, the water, and the Blood, and the three are of one accord. If we accept human testimony, the testimony of God is surely greater. Now the testimony of God is this, that he has testified on behalf of his Son. Whoever believes in the Son of God has this testimony within himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar by not believing the testimony God has given about his Son. And this is the testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever possesses the Son has life; whoever does not possess the Son of God does not have life.
I write these things to you so that you may know that you have eternal life, you who believe in the name of the Son of God.

You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.
This is what John the Baptist proclaimed: “One mightier than I is coming after me. I am not worthy to stoop and loosen the thongs of his sandals. I have baptized you with water; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
It happened in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John. On coming up out of the water he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon him. And a voice came from the heavens, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”

First Reading
Deuteronomy 10:8-9
The Lord himself is our heritage.
Moses summoned all of Israel and said to them: “At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to be in attendance before the LORD and minister to him, and to give blessings in his name, as they have done to this day. For this reason, Levi has no share in the heritage with his brothers; the LORD himself is his heritage, as the LORD, your God, has told him.”

1 Kings 19:4-9a, 11-15a
Go outside and stand on the mountain before the Lord.
Elijah went a day’s journey into the desert, until he came to a broom tree and sat beneath it. He prayed for death saying: “This is enough, O LORD! Take my life, for I am no better than my fathers.” He lay down and fell asleep under the broom tree, but then an angel touched him and ordered him to get up and eat. He looked and there at his head was a hearth cake and a jug of water. After he ate and drank, he lay down again, but the angel of the LORD came back a second time, touched him, and ordered, “Get up and eat, else the journey will be too long for you!” He got up, ate, and drank; then strengthened by that food, he walked forty days and forty nights to the mountain of God, Horeb.
There he came to a cave, where he took shelter. Then the LORD said to him, “Go outside and stand on the mountain before the LORD; the LORD will be passing by.” A strong and heavy wind was rending the mountains and crushing rocks before the LORD— but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake– but the LORD was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake there was fire– but the LORD was not in the fire. After the fire there was a tiny whispering sound. When he heard this, Elijah hid his face in his cloak and went and stood at the entrance of the cave. A voice said to him, “Elijah, why are you here?” He replied, “I have been most zealous for the LORD, the God of hosts. But the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, torn down your altars, and put your prophets to the sword. I alone am left, and they seek to take my life.” The LORD said to him, “Go, take the road back to the desert near Damascus.”

First reading
1 Kings 19:16b, 19-21
Elisha left and followed Elijah.
The LORD said to Elijah: “You shall anoint Elisha, son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah, as prophet to succeed you.”
Elijah set out and came upon Elisha, son of Shaphat, as he was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen; he was following the twelfth. Elijah went over to him and threw his cloak over him. Elisha left the oxen, ran after Elijah, and said, “Please, let me kiss my father and mother goodbye, and I will follow you.” Elijah answered, “Go back! Have I done anything to you?” Elisha left him and, taking the yoke of oxen, slaughtered them; he used the plowing equipment for fuel to boil their flesh, and gave it to his people to eat. Then he left and followed Elijah as his attendant.

Matthew 19:3-12
For the sake of the Kingdom of heaven.
Some Pharisees approached Jesus and tested him, saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause whatever?” He said in reply, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator made them male and female and said, For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, man must not separate.” They said to him, “Then why did Moses command that the man give the woman a bill of divorce and dismiss her?” He said to them, “Because of the hardness of your hearts Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. I say to you, whoever divorces his wife (unless the marriage is unlawful) and marries another commits adultery.” His disciples said to him, “If that is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.” He answered, “Not all can accept this word, but only those to whom that is granted. Some are incapable of marriage because they were born so; some, because they were made so by others; some, because they have renounced marriage for the sake of the Kingdom of heaven. Whoever can accept this ought to accept it.”

Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor; then come, follow me.
As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before him, and asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus answered him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall not defraud; honor your father and your mother.” He replied and said to him, “Teacher, all of these I have observed from my youth.” Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said to him, “You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” At that statement his face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions.
Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the Kingdom of God!” The disciples were amazed at his words. So Jesus again said to them in reply, “Children, how hard it is to enter the Kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the Kingdom of God.” They were exceedingly astonished and said among themselves, “Then who can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “For men it is impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God.” Peter began to say to him, “We have given up everything and followed you.” Jesus said, “Amen, I say to you, there is no one who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for my sake and for the sake of the Gospel who will not receive a hundred times more now in this present age: houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and eternal life in the age to come.”

But you, go and proclaim the Kingdom of God.” And another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but first let me say farewell to my family at home.” Jesus said to him, “No one who sets a hand to the plow and looks to what was left behind is fit for the Kingdom of God.”

Everyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple.
Great crowds were traveling with Jesus, and he turned and addressed them, “If anyone comes to me without hating his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. Which of you wishing to construct a tower does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if there is enough for its completion? Otherwise, after laying the foundation and finding himself unable to finish the work the onlookers should laugh at him and say, ‘This one began to build but did not have the resources to finish.’ Or what king marching into battle would not first sit down and decide whether with ten thousand troops he can successfully oppose another king advancing upon him with twenty thousand troops? But if not, while he is still far away, he will send a delegation to ask for peace terms. In the same way, everyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple.”

Clapping the dirt off his hands before taking the flower he had just planted in a pot and returning to the front room to greet his customer, Esli was positively surprised over the red hair, black eyepatch, and signature wide smile that greeted him halfway into the shop.
Julian's arms swopped around Esli before the latter could even begin to laugh, pulling him - and the plant - into a loving embrace. Their lips met longingly, neither of them able to hide the smiles that the affection brought over them. "It's a little early for a 'Welcome Home!' kiss, isn't it?" Esli noted when they took a breather, and Julian chuckled before stealing a quick smooch off his boyfriend one more time.
"Admittedly, I am here for business. But, no one said business can't be fun," Julian explained, following Esli's every step towards the flower table where he put down the one he had just repotted. "Aw, and here I thought you came to surprise me."
With his hands finally free, Esli pulled Julian into one more deep, intimate kiss, eventually detaching from him with a warm feeling on his cheeks and butterflies in his stomach. Letting his thumbs glide over Julian's cheeks, Esli could see how Julian relaxed, leaning into the affection with gusto. "What business could you have with me, Doctor?" Esli asked, almost sorry to destroy the sweet moment they shared. But a glance at the clock on the wall gave away that it was much too early for Julian to end his workday. The population of Vesuvia still needed him and his skills as a doctor, even after midday and even if Esli would have loved to keep Julian right where they were, by his side.
"I need a..." Taking a sharp breath, Julian thought for a moment, mumbling under his breath as he tried to find the words he wanted to use. "Ramo de flores, mi Amor," Julian requested, proud that he'd still remember the words. Reaching for Esli's hand, he left a trail of kisses down his arms before the two finally separated. The use of Esli's mother tongue didn't leave him unfazed, a pleasant tingling running through him as he let out some chuckles. Julian knew exactly how to plant a smile on his face and make him happy, even if it was such a minor gesture. Nonetheless, Julian was a good student, and he had sought up the few words and sentences Esli had taught him, putting them to good use.
"A bouquet? That's unusual!" Esli laughed. Returning to his workstation, Julian followed Esli at a proper distance. There was no need for him to pretend to be a good customer, but Esli could see that Julian was trying to be courteous, especially since he was asking for a favor. "It's for a sweet, elderly patient of mine. It's the anniversary of their marriage, and they want to get their partner flowers but have troubles walking, so I told them I'd help them out!" Julian exemplified proudly, and Esli couldn't help but admire his boyfriend. "You're too good for the world, Julian," Esli praised, leaning over the workstation to leave a smooch on his cheek, causing Julian to chuckle.
"That's why I am the favorite doctor of all of Vesuvia! But what would I be without you?" Julian quickly retorted. Looking deep into Esli's eyes, the latter was the one to avert his gaze first, unable to keep up the stare without feeling another blush creeping over his face. There was simply no way to keep his heart from racing when Julian always had a sweet reply to anything he ever said.
With his words as smooth as velvet to Esli's ears, Julian still made him feel exactly the same as when the two started out their relationship. Even with their ups and downs, Julian had never failed to make him smile and feel loved, although the situation of them trying to prove that Julian wasn't guilty of Count Lucio's murder was anything but easy. However, when Julian was by his side, Esli felt like there was nothing he couldn't achieve and nothing that would ever break the bond the two shared. Nonetheless, the occasional teases that filled both their minds spiced up their lives quite a bit, and it was hard for Esli to hold back on one that was burning on his tongue.
"Ah," Esli muttered, putting together a wonderful arrangement of roses, baby's breath, and tulips - flowers symbolizing love - as Julian leaned on the counter, watching. "Perhaps this isn't even for your patient."
"What do you mean?" Julian rose, confused at the sudden statement.
"Be honest, Julian. It's for your new love!" Esli claimed, a deep sigh leaving his lips right after.
The accusation sounded harsh, but one look into Esli's face was enough to prove he was only joking, and Julian huffed at that before a smile crossed his lips. "You'll give that to them," Esli continued, pausing to wrap some cord tightly around the stems so they'd stay in place, "and completely forget about me, waiting here for you, todo solo."
"Mi Amado!" Julian quacked appalled, fake horror shivering through his voice. "How could you even think of that?! You're the only one for me! Now and forever!" he acted, dramatically wiping away non-existent tears as if Esli's words hurt him. "Still, I have to do this. I was sure you'd understand! I have to carry this bouquet away from you, my one true love! I hoped that you, of all people, could understand me!"
Esli chuckled quietly, impressed that Julian included elements in his acting that Esli had just thought about himself. It just showed that their thinking was alike, even though Julian spoke in jest, but truly, they were inseparable.
"Jokes aside," Julian shook his head, letting out a gentle laugh. "It's for someone important, and I just want it to be meaningful." Lifting one of the roses' heads gently, he admired the pretty flower, having grown beautifully under Esli's care. Nowhere in all of Vesuvia could he find a shop with the same dedication to the craft of raising and caring for plants than in Esli's shop. There was none as good as the small boutique in front of the very popular bakery Esli's friend owned.
"It's perfect," he eventually complimented as Esli finished up the bouquet. "Thank you," Esli grinned, giving it one last look over before turning to Julian. "So for the payment…" Esli started, getting interrupted by Julian suddenly straightening his back, lifting a hand with his outstretched pointer. "I know!" he exclaimed, and before Esli could even say anything, Julian had rounded the counter, coming to a halt in front of him.
"How about… hm, 20 kisses?"
"That's a little below the prices. How about 50?" Esli countered as he received the first ones smothered all over his face already. "30 then," Julian haggled. Esli couldn't help but laugh, holding the bouquet away from them so it wouldn't get squished between their bodies as Julian kept closing in. "40!" Esli continued, and Julian halted his kisses, squinting at his boyfriend. "35, last offer. And I'm running late, so I'll give you half now and half later, deal?""
"Fine," Esli finally agreed. "But you better make them worth it!"
The "I always do" that Julian pressed forth before uniting their lips was gleefully ignored by both of them as they melted into the affection. With Esli's free arm slinging around Julian's neck and his hands laying down on Esli's hips, they tuned out the world for a moment until neither of them knew anymore if it had been 10, 20, or 25 kisses. However, when they had to separate again, Julian's hand taking the flower arrangement from Esli, both had the same thought that it had still been too little kisses for their taste.
Nonetheless, retrieving the bouquet from Esli, they shared another short, farewell-indicating smooch before Julian passed counter once more, quickly exiting the flower shop. "I think I will be home early today," he called back over his shoulder, turning around just before the door, adding, "But no promises," as he pushed it away with his back, his tall build gone with the wind that made all the flowers sway and tilt as it flitted through the room.
And Esli wondered about why Julian seemed so hectic that day, more than any other he had witnessed before.
It wasn't until Esli finally closed up the shop and returned upstairs to their living space that he'd find out.
Stretching out, he felt his bones and muscles tense before falling back into their place, helping him relax. Setting up a pot with water, Esli prepared a cup of tea for himself, glancing at the clock once again that day with his thoughts circling around Julian. The doctor did say he'd be home early, but really, how much could Esli trust that? There was always another emergency or just one more patient to visit, another concoction to make, one other invitation to stay for dinner.
Esli was long beyond the point of being upset about Julian being undependable when it came to returning home. They both lived their daily lives separate from each other. However, occasionally - like that day - they'd still find time in between to share some affection and thoughts with each other. If it came down to it, Esli knew Julian would put down his work for a while to be with him if Esli needed Julian to be by his side, and that was more than enough of what he could ask from him.
In fact, the nights until Julian returned, Esli used to relax and peacefully enjoy a cup of tea or a good book. Occasionally, the two of them would go out to let off steam and enjoy themselves more energetically. Still, it was nice being able to just sprawl out on their bed and enjoy the calm too.
All the more surprised was Esli by hearing the commotion in the backroom of the shop, his boyfriend once again making his way in by averting the locked front door. A wide smile appeared on his face as he saw Esli meeting him on top of the stairs, worried about what just happened and with a big question mark on his face as he saw who the intruder was. "Julian?!" Esli quaked in surprise and disbelief, though really, there was no one else who could have easily entered their home like this. "I did it!" Julian laughed out as if he didn't even believe it himself. "I made it home on time! Esli!"
Without hesitating, Julian approached Esli, laying down all he had in his hands next to the stove. Esli barely had time to put his tea back on the counter before Julian flung his arms around him, pulling him in a tight hug and up in the air. "Julian!" Esli cried out, taken aback from being twirled around, but Julian's joy was contagious, causing him to laugh too. After another twirl or two, Julian finally set down the giggling Esli, and the two shared their first kiss since that afternoon, long and meaningful as their lips met each other passionately.
"I have something for you," Julian whispered against Esli's mouth, and the latter raised a brow, Julian's body warmth disappearing as he dedicated himself to the things he brought home. Much to Esli's surprise, the flower bouquet he had arranged for Julian this afternoon appeared in his sight, still pristine and well-kept. Even the stems had been cut and seemed to have been put into water to keep healthy. "But Julian…?" Esli wondered, hoping nothing was wrong with the bouquet, and that's why he brought it back. But Julian shook his head, already knowing what Esli was worrying about.
"It's for you," he admitted. "I tried finding someone else who'd make me a bouquet as beautiful as possible so I could give it to you, but… there simply isn't anyone up to your standards."
Julian let out a single laugh, bashfully holding them towards Esli. "You might not know, Esli," he brought up, searching for Esli's eyes to meet them with his. "But today marks our first anniversary. The one of when we first met in the Rowdy Raven, I mean. Not when I broke into your shop, that would be crazy!
Esli felt his heart grow heavy in his chest as he realized what Julian was going on about, having totally forgotten about that. It wasn't a usual anniversary, but the fact that Julian would think about it still made Esli love him even more. "Oh, Julian…" he muttered, taking the bouquet from him before pulling Julian close to kiss him once again. "I can't believe you still remembered. It's been so… you know. It's been a while!"
"I could never forget," Julian had to admit, his expression growing soft. "From the first time you approached me that day, you changed my whole world. You helped me when I was at my worst, and I can't thank you enough for everything you've done for me. If not for you, I'd be--" He paused, gulping, his eyes briefly averting as he had to admit something that weighed heavily on him. "Well, I'd be dead, and the world in shambles!"
It was a heartfelt scene spreading out before Esli as Julian took his boyfriend's hand in his, squeezing it gently. "I can't tell you how proud I am of you and how lucky I feel every day to wake up next to you. I love you so much, Esli."
By now, Esli could feel the stinging sensation in his nose, taking a deep breath to calm himself, as he repeated his words from before. "Oh, Julian…" he mumbled, squeezing his hand back tenderly. "I love you so much too… I… I almost feel sorry I haven't prepared anything for you, mi Vida…"
"There's no need for it!" Julian was quick to console his boyfriend, kissing away the traces of tears at the corners of Esli's eyes. "However, I came home early today in hopes you'd like to keep me company for some drinks. I know you're tired from working, but I thought for old time's sake--"
"Geez, Julian!" Esli interrupted him, knowing how his boyfriend had the tendency to babble if he felt insecure about his suggestions. "There's nothing I'd rather do with you today!" Esli assured him, and Julian's lips curled into a smile once again. They shared another deep kiss until they had to reluctantly separate, Esli giving the bouquet in his hands a tender look over. "And thanks for the flowers!" he grinned, and Julian sheepishly scratched the back of his head.
"But you still have to pay for them!" Esli reminded him jokingly, putting on a stern face. "Oh, I will!" Julian assured without hesitation. "After we get home later."
"You better," Esli warned with a wink before handing the flowers back to Julian, sending him on the quest of finding a free vase to put them into with some water while he gets ready.
Setting them down on their table after preparing the vase for the bouquet, Julian didn't have to wait for too long, Esli having readied himself rather quickly since he hadn't changed his clothes yet after coming home.
"Te amo," Julian repeated - this time in Esli’s language, causing a pleasant flutter in his boyfriend’s stomach - as he took both of Esli's hands in his. "Thank you for being in my life for a year already."
"There will be much more to come," Esli assured him, caressing the back of Julian's hand with his thumb tenderly. "Yo también te amo, Julian."
They left quickly after sharing another kiss, their little home turning dark as the two turtle doves left the nest. The hot tea still steamed on the counter, but unbothered by it, the flowers sought in the light of the moon coming in from the window, their petals shimmering in it. There would be many more cups of tea, flowers in vases and kisses shared in their time together. However, it were memories like this day that neither of them would forget ever again.

Me: and enifing one more waited because knows someone codie and like now someone more chraing been nice now and das fine like is fine normal
A mean not bed more because yes, it's a belt, just like these jackets were what were these buttons, what clicked and also made the bells, even more old when they were still "but artificial fur is not chemically good?"so I say right away because if I don't want to talk about it in general, because this one will have his own rage glue out mean or something generally you know but in general, it's just the first experiments, this oc has some filings, so if something happens, you really don't have to
because I felt bad for a few of them that I gave something like that to my life experiences, as they did the same and generally, it seems like it's going to end like that, because that's how it's going to be and you don't know about it, sorry not sorry because here rezan a stay had life daaa
but that's fine, because it will grow and you will go too deep again and everyone will still go to the other side as always (sorry but true little bit)
but most of the time they are siblings and there is no line of romance or in general bit more bradzmi than any other family, because they have more friends, so it's more likely that they are a family but enifing codie more been personality had a ertoching so enifing more logic why more colecion staws because canda been replikate sowing and chraing more use it later or make a dyfrent oil after had a use it like dys code rotcher blood like code bag blood yeah I knows cofuze but like dys
but I don't know if leftsaver has something to say about it i dont knows but enifing sowing canda been work but not a sowing das more ertic team after a one get forget or sowing (so old oc a more puding sowing a zero family strevit and enifing like dys a more knows balanse it ugh. . . I knows it a little. . . Onset like bit old RP a knows it thx) i knows a dizaine so esly or sowing but say is so old oc so enifing been like dys oso I not change it and canda not use it because wona stay like dys

🍸🍊🍸🍊🍸🍊🍸🍊🍸🍊🍸🍊🍸🍊🍸🍊🍸🍊
me: I have something unusual, quite general, that you don't care about anyway, but it's good (so that I don't say anything and they will peel it off anyway) because she was filthy and a fan of X
and I know it's a gift, normally they are sweet anyway, I know, but that's not the point more like what I said about X being bisexual, you have something like that and knows esperiments ponds knows say like "oh im filing dys or up here or left side yara yara"
as if I were telling the truth because everyone will still say "hey, but X is gay" or a alia and all kinds of spoilers (yeah so suck at someone)
but still, it's generally more off-putting and enifing no dys nice guy or dys a das jerkass guy and move on and after attaking none rezan real guy's broo relly is enifing more say no? So why do enifing like knows a but cherater none real persen man so l guys did like dys a attaking real because say sowing a nader cherater

① the thing i'm most proud of to date is my levi & eren blm commission i did for @sp00kydraws ♡ the initial flood of tags on that art filled me with so much pride to be advocating for something that means so much to y'all personally. it means the world to me too and i felt such a strong and empowered sense of community with y'all upon drawing it. this also includes my commission post, which i'm taking up in exchange for donations to blm affiliated orgs. sp00ky's the only one i've done so far, so please help me find more ♡
② closely behind is my oc, @belzinone . after first getting into snk in 2015, i promptly dealt out a 140k+ fanfic about her journey through snk's main events and behind the scenes with her own original conflicts as well as relationships with the main cast. after that, i created an rp blog for her and have had a lot of fun writing her in the rpc and building her character to this day. when snk finishes (💔) i look forward to completing her fanfiction too (& possibly continue to write fics with her past the end, idk, we'll have to see how yams leaves us)
③ next is my stripper levi series (my favorites are this one and this one) and his ask blog. though i haven't answered any asks for him in a good long while, i took up the theme to mix fandom with my thesis and possibly educate people on sex worker and other related issues. though i've graduated, i plan on continuing this work so please follow @askstripperlevi and send him some questions, if you'd like!
④ then some select levi arts, including redraws of mobster levi from ch 123, which i also made an appreciation post on (at like breakneck speed fbsnfnskgk we were deprived of him for sO LONG), his two birthday arts last year (especially this one), this no name levi striptease (where i put him in a binder ♡), & chad levi
