i cannae wait to get the copy of fire emblem three hopes today - shez has groovy beans personality. also Petra bro. Thief class is a menace.
I love Petra >:(( my political hostage. also I really really hope for the next upcoming mainline fire emblem game they do have more same sex options for s-supports.
if it's a case of uh uh what's it, fire emblem awakening time travel nonsense and I am paired with a woman or a man incapable of having children without adopting - Nintendo jus tell em they came from a alternate timeline where pregnancy was available 🤓
I suppose fire emblem is more of a Japanese targeted audience, but that shouldn't prevent limited choices of same sex couples - although then again, it might be a means of them adding a touch of realism maybe ??

Odypen definitely and equivalently adore each other BUT I weirdly can't see them as the type to actually say "I Love you".
They still definitely vocalize their love for each other but it's more so in "My Joy", and "Extraordinary Woman", "Strange Woman/Man", etc. And very cheesy lines (both say some cheesy shit in the Odyssey, and he definitely does in the Iliad as well. "Joy like a drowning sailor seeing land" bit???)
I could see "I adore you" but even then, that's probably during very specific moments but the actual "I love you"??? I just typed it just now for fic shit and... It weirdly just didn't feel right and I don't know why. 😅
Idk maybe it's kind of because I see them as over the top in ways, they love wordplay and riddles and I think they'd almost think "...That's not good enough >:( " about it??? I don't know???😂
#I wrote this last night. I'll do the asks I got later. don't worry! :D#I am the cheese god remember?😅#I think these two would try to “out-cheese” each other and whoever is left speechless first loses#“I would forget my own name before I would ever forget you” bullshit. CHEESY#And yes. “I sleep in our nest with you or outside on the dirt” stupidity >:D#I plan for Odysseus as a beggar to ask why she waits so long. As he's been gone a longer amount of time than the time they had together#(Simply asking as reassurance. He knows his answer. Calypso asked him. but what about Penelope?) but she gets mad at the#“Beggar” and pities him as he must be telling the truth about having a miserable life if he never got the chance to know such devotion#How what they have could never be sullied by#something as trivial as distance and years. How the years with him were the best in her life. Only made better by their son.#'My dear Joy made songs and poems about love a reality as that was simply the life we shared. Even separated our 'song' will always echo#no matter how long it's been. I'LL make sure it always does. And I know he's doing the same... That strange man used to say that#even if he died his corpse would drag itself back to us before he'd ever give up.'#...I'm not one for 'odyssey zombie au' but when I first heard it yeah. :'D Came up with this back then#“His eyes as hard as flint or horn-” Bullshit! The sad lil fuck is hiding sobs with coughs and telling her to keep away for fear of her#catching whatever “illness” he has. The nice thing about being disguised as old means sickly old man works.#...#I'm noticing that Odysseus has a lot of silly oneliners while I write Penelope with a shit ton of set up :'D#They are so silly and I love them so much#...I wrote a lot :'D#Mad rambles#shot by odysseus#my headcanons#odypen#yahoo!!!#sometimes I wonder if I should tag this with more things but I don't want to taint the regular tags with my bullshit :'D I KNOW I'm insane

Since ive been playing Stardew again, mainly thanks to Stardew Expanded, and have been on a Stardew kick in general:
How would the different villagers (base game, no mod villagers, with maybe the inclusion of Marlon, Gunther, Krobus and the dwarf maybe?) react to a cottagecore (actual) witch (wizard, spellcaster, whatever you wanna call this version of the farmer) who, while making artisan goods like jellies and mead, also makes potions and enchanted knick knacks that help people too?
Hewwo :D
As you can see, dear anon, I got rather... carried away with the question, so I apologize for the long reply. I hope you enjoy it, and thanks again for the ask! 💕
SDV townies react to the cottagecore wizard/witch!Farmer who, in addition to artisan goods, makes potions and enchants trinkets:
_________________________________________
Shane doesn't mind the home-brewed beer and hot peppers from the garden that the Farmer regularly treats him to, but doesn't need to be told about the trinkets and stinky herbal concoctions and other weird stuff. The chicken lover doesn't believe in that (even though he's facing a real wizard/witch), and he has pills for his hangover.
No matter how hard Marlon tried to talk the Farmer out of it and explain that they didn't owe him anything for his help (a.k.a. "how once again Marlon had delivered the unconscious Farmer home"), but the new member of the Adventurers' Guild was stubborn and left on Marlon's table a dozen life elixirs that they had brewed themselves, as well as a whole basket of fresh apples. Well, it was rude to refuse, but the old adventurer still wanted the Farmer to be careful in the Mines next time.
A good luck bracelet? Ha! Thanks, Farmer, but Alex doesn't need one. He's a real sports star (not yet recognized, but soon!), and he relies solely on his talents and muscles. Although, if an athlete knows Farmer very well, he won't turn down a bracelet. Although he's not superstitious, a gift from a friend as a token of attention really touched him. Not that he'll admit it out loud, of course.
"Will I be able to fly?! Or talk to animals? Will I be able to talk to trees too? Will I turn into a dinosaur? Or invisible? I'd like to become an invisible dinosaur!" Yeah, I guess it wasn't such a good idea for the Farmer to announce to Vincent that they were brewing potions in addition to farming. Who knew the boy would be so intrigued by the Farmer's activities, after all, where else would you see a Farmer who could not only make cheese, but also do magic things?
Jas is a pretty smart girl, and quickly guessed about Farmer's unusual talents. She promised to keep it a secret.... If the Farmer promised to show her those unusual black chickens. Given that the farm is not far from her aunt's ranch, Jas often comes to visit the hospitable Farmer, just to watch them conjure or make cheese. And for black chickens. So cute!
To be honest, Marnie is a little... confused. She doesn't really believe in magic and all, but one event has made her reconsider. The Farmer recently gave her an totem that they say protects her lovely chickens from forest predators (poor Marnie is still grieving over hen Matilda, who was stolen by a fox). Now foxes approaching the coop howl, as if wounded, when they see the totem and run away. A coincidence, or does the totem really work?
"Ah, fellow craftsman! Glad to see that the practice of the arts of alchemy and enchantment is still not extinct." Wizard knew from the beginning that Farmer was connected with the magical world, but even for him it was a surprise that the young talent could cast complex spells and brew potions. And most importantly, help the locals (well, or at least not harm anyone). Hm, he was just looking for an apprentice, and Farmer would be perfect candidate...
Leah isn't much into elixirs and talismans, but when the red-haired girl fell ill, the Farmers were the first to help and gave her some funny-smelling potions that made her feel better instantly. They also treated Leah to some homemade goat cheese and fruits. Witch or not, Leah was glad to have such a caring friend and promised herself to do something for the Farmer in return.
Even though Demetrius had no desire to offend or insult the Farmer in any way, the scientist will look very sceptical at the amulet the Farmer offers him for protection against evil spirits. And for all the spells that the Farmer shows, desperately trying to prove to Demetrius that they are real spellcasters, he will wave his hand, saying that it is all scientifically explainable. Farmer is levitating, the hell you mean scientifically explainable?!
Clint wanted to ask something about a love potion, but quickly silenced himself before the Farmer could hear anything. It would hardly be true love if you put that magic stuff in there.... What?! No, he didn't mean anyone in particular, they heard nothing! In general, the blacksmith doesn't care if the Farmer grows strawberries, enchants bracelets or practises fortune-telling.
Abigail has become a very frequent visitor to the farm. The violet-haired girl sometimes likes to sit in the Farmer's kitchen, helping or watching them make blueberry jam or pickled tomatoes. But most of all she is interested in watching them brew potions or just the way the spoons stir themselves thanks to magic. Abigail will also ask them to make her a elixirs taster ("Pretty please!").
Perhaps Lewis would have just politely ignored the Farmer's statement that they were a wizard and that they would be happy to help him and the people of the Valley with potions, but still the Pelican Town Mayor decided to try his luck and ask the Farmer one specific question. Hmm? Why did Lewis need a stamina potion? Erm, well, Lewis wanted to start doing, er... exercise, and- Never mind, forget what he just said, Farmer.
You know that look on some parents' faces when their little child hands them a craft made of dirt or leaves, and the adults try to squeeze out a smile and say what an interesting thing their kid made? That's what was on Jodi's face when Farmer gave her the gift with a proud smile. Thank you so much for the fresh vegetables, Farmer, and, umm.... What's with the skull pendant with the glowing eyes? "Luck pendant? Ahahaha, how nice, thank you!" (Jodi dies inside).
A small woven basket, containing some fruit or goodies, and a small vial of purple liquid.... Almost everyone in the Valley had received a gift from the unusual Farmer, and Robin was no exception. The carpenter doesn't know what's up with the "potion to cure diseases", but she's just glad that the Farmer has fit into their little community so quickly and takes care of everyone like family. Robin smiles genuinely and is already on her way home with peaches given by the Farmer to treat her husband and her children.
One day Haley is sure to drop by the Farmer's to visit and ask them to let her have a photo session of their farm. Because this place is sure to be a winner in Zuzu City's "All About the Country life" photo contest! Plus, the blonde-haired girl discovered the delights of rural life, and the Farmer themself turned out to be a very interesting person. But Haley can't stand the smell of the cauldron. Why would the Farmer have a cauldron in his kitchen?
For about an hour now, poor Maru has been racking her brains and searching medical books and scientific articles for any information about the ingredients that the Farmers, as they themselves claim, put in the "potion". It's phenomenal - a liquid that instantly cured Maru's burn on her arm! (the result of a failed experiment). Poor Farmer only wanted to bring the young inventor the cure and fresh strawberries, but ended up being showered with a mountain of questions from a exited Maru. "Magic? Witches and wizards? Nonsense!"
Kent had been standing by the front door of the farmhouse for some more than ten minutes now, keeping his eyes fixed on the broom that was brushing the porch steps by itself. Either his nightmares had made him crazy, or those pickled mushrooms the Farmer had treated the military man with (and given several jars of mushrooms as a treat to his family) were laced with some sort of hallucinogen. Farmer stepped out onto the porch. "Ah, I can use magic to make a broom sweep!" Apparently it was the mushrooms after all, Kent thought.
Did someone say pendants with stones that have magical properties? Or dreamcatchers? Then Emily's on her way! Nothing brings the blue-haired girl more joy than discussions about amethyst, that ability to enhance the wearer's intuition, or the positive emotion-filled bracelets she's made for her friends. Granted Emily has a slightly different field (and Farmer's pendants are enchanted for real), but she would be the one closest to Farmer's interest in making trinkets of all sorts to help others.
Oh, Gus knows well that if he needs the best quality produce for his meals, the owner of the Saloon can ask the hard-working and kind Farmer for help. Admittedly, at times he is a bit taken aback when the Farmer still offers him unfamiliar herbs and products that they have made themselves. "Moon salt", what is that? Seems edible, even delicious! Definitely going into his escargot.
"That's the ugliest thing I've ever seen in my life." Whoa, Pam, you don't have to be that blunt with the person you're getting a gift from. Yes, the bracelet may not have the most adorable look, but the Farmer is a spellcaster with experience, and this trinket will help bring Pam happiness, wealth, and- "Thanks for the mead and the parsnips, kiddo, but I'm not taking this creepy bracelet." Pam, don't be rude to the Farmer, where's your manners and gratitude?
Yoba, Harvey tries to be polite and patient, but he can't stay away when he sees Farmer offering other residents elixirs that, they say, will "instantly cure illnesses"??? He is a doctor, and has devoted years at university to curing people, while Farmer is engaging in, pardon his harsh words, quackery?! However, when the doctor is convinced that Farmer is a real wizard/witch, he quickly apologizes and goes into a crisis. Someone give this man a glass of wine or Harvey is about to freak out.
Oh, no, no, no, no! Pierre had already made a mistake once in his youth when he bought a "talisman that brings wealth and good luck" from a stranger who claimed to be a sorceress, but it turned out to be just a cheap glass craft. So he had to create wealth with his bare hands. The shopkeeper would refuse all the amulets offered by the Farmer, and the strange elixirs too. But to buy their homemade strawberry wine of iridium quality is always welcome!
When the Farmer had just arrived in Stardew Valley, Willy had once told them that he had an amulet against all sorts of misfortunes, which he had had to sell because the money was almost gone. The old sailor had already had time to regret it, but you can't bring back the past. Farmer remembered this moment, and out of kindness made a real sea amulet for Willy. And unlike the old one, this will definitely protect him from treacherous sirens or huge deep-sea monsters while fishing.
"So enchanting objects for each other is normal for humans?" Krobus had thought that only the Wizard had knowledge of the forgotten arts, but it seemed he had missed some details when he had studied the lives of the local people of Pelican Town. People usually don't do that? Oh, alright..
The amulet that Sebastian received as a gift from the Farmer looks so cool and creepy that Sebby has started wearing it with his everyday clothes. True, the young man was a little distrustful of the Farmer's words about the "enchantment" of this trinket. He was interested in all sorts of occult things, but was not sure about the magic. Farmer, in order to prove their words, gave him another "frog magnet" talisman. The next day, by Sebastian's surprised face and a dozen frogs jumping after him, it was clear that the local emo definitely believed now.
An enchanted pendant that allows you to see artifacts hidden from human eyes... That explains how the Farmers were able to find and provide Gunther with such rare specimens of forgotten civilizations. Did they make such an amulet themselves? Amazing! What? An amulet for him? Thank you very much, Farmer. Now together, the two of them can not only restore the local museum to its former glory, but also make it even better!
Penny doesn't know what the little bottle of liquid the Farmer gave her, but her flu is gone in just an hour after she empties the contents of the bottle. Thank you so much, Farmer, for helping the young teacher by giving her this medicine. "My pleasure, the elixir of healing diseases isn't that hard to make, the main thing is not to overdo it with the wolfsbane." "W- what?...." Penny didn't have time to ask again, as the Farmer handed her a basket of oranges and wished her good health, running off on their own.
Linus had time to show the young mage (yes, it's no secret to him that they have a magical gift) all the secret places to pick unusual berries and mushrooms. Because he knows that the Farmer will definitely use it in brewing elixirs to help people, and that can't help but please the good-hearted wild man. Plus, he has to say thank you somehow for that wonderful blueberry pie.
From the Farmer's window there is almost always the smell of delicious baked goods or the pleasant scent of flowers, and Sam, without noticing it himself, has begun to walk past the farm often. The young guitarist doesn't need to be told twice when he's invited for pie or maple donuts. Farmer is always happy to have guests, especially if the guests decide to brighten up their mornings with a beautiful music. "What's brewing in the pot?" "Elixir of immortality." "Cool. Wait, what...?"
"These leaves give the tea a rather unusual flavor. And I think I'm beginning to see... flowers in my eyes. Dear Farmer, are you sure you've worked the tea leaves properly?" Caroline, your tea made the Farmer's eyes see a white little man dancing on the edge of your mug. So don't go blabbing about the Farmer's homemade tea. They certainly know the basics of herbology and alchemy, and know how to brew the most complex elixirs. So don't even-
Given Dwarf's suspiciousness, they didn't take any medallions or elixirs from the Farmer at first, because it could have turned out to be a devious plan by the shadow people. What if there's poison in the bottle? Or the medallion reveals their location to the enemy? It takes a long time before they can trust the Farmer, and later they have something of a bartering relationship with potions (the Farmer gives Dwarf elixirs out of the goodness of his heart, but Dwarf insists that the Farmer needs to get something of equal value in return).
Hmm! Why would George want this useless trinket, even if it was free? So they could sit on a shelf and gather dust? Farmer, he doesn't believe in all that focus-pocus, so he doesn't need those strange and ugly bracelets and amulets that also smell weird. A spellcaster? Don't be absurd.
Farmers were so kind to come and visit, and they also brought some goodies: ripe berries, homemade cottage cheese... And they even brought George some ointment for his bad knees, how nice of them! And though it's not clear if Evelyn believes the ointment is magical, and if she knows that Farmers can cast spells and communicate with animals. The granny is just glad that such a kind and caring young person came to their house, and without cookies, which just had time to cool down, Evelyn will not let them go.
A lonely, city-weary man who had been hiding their magical talent was finally able to escape the suffocating clutches of a mega corporation to drop everything and move to the middle of nowhere where they could find their happiness and calling... Yes, Elliott is definitely sure that this would be the perfect story for his new novella. The writer was so taken by his own muse that he wasn't even surprised by the fact that the Farmers, in addition to caring for crops and livestock, can do magic and brew elixirs. Novella now, questions later!
Morris has absolutely no time for nonsense, why did the Farmer give him some strange liquid in a bottle? A cure for back pain? Very funny, but he wasn't born yesterday to believe that nonsense. Except that Farmer's curiosity and puppy eyes made Joja's manager take a sip.... And no more back pain! Hmm, interesting... Farmer, how about a contract to sell this miracle liquid?
_________________________________________
Note: I hope I didn't deviate from the main question because I couldn't decide if the people of Stardew Valley believe the farmer is a wizard/sorcerer/witch by default, or if some know and some don't? And how are talismans and potions even viewed from their perspective (Shane, at least, doesn't believe in magic, judging by the canon quotes). I'm open to feedback! 😃

Hello again :D
As it has been a difficult week with no cucuhalo, i would like to humbly request your Nacho hc's, I must find a way to cope... And Nacho with their little (probably paper plate) mask seems to be the perfect thing
NACHO HCS!!! Nacho is my absolute beloved ill spread the HCs to yall like bird seed once more <33
theres speculation around the office that Nacho's gun is just a toy gun or that its like a really well painted nerf gun, but nobody can confirm or deny bc on one hand nachos a kid, on the other hand theyre cucuruchos kid so they wouldnt put it past him to give them a real gun, and also they cant get it away from them to check (its a real gun)
Nacho has their own special fed assignments to carry out in the office (unlike the ones on the clipboard they yoinked) which is usually just little stuff, but occasionally cucurucho will be like "hey go tell fred if he doesnt get this on my desk by friday ill use his skin as paper while i do it for him" and nacho will be like OKAY :D and go tell him, which usually is met with horror but cucurucho gets to giggle from his office while he watches through the window with popcorn
Nacho likes to dress up in many kinds of frilly outfits, most of them being white, but usually struggles because theyre a baby and theyre hard on their clothing. Oftentimes they dont pick up their feet yet and step all over the back of jeans or skirts they wear or get grass and dirt stains on their little white shoes or on their sleeves <3
They keep having to replace their mask bc they are just a baby and see it like ass their face, so when they eat oftentimes they initially try to eat through the mask's mouth which results in grilled cheese or peas or soda getting all over the mask. They insist on a new one every time, its very important!!!! Thats their face, they cant just walk around without their face!!!
I like to think nachos ears are real and alongside this they have a cute little bear tail that wags when theyre happy (if youve ever had a dog with a nub tail you know what i mean)
Nacho likes to go mirmirmir in cucus lap while he works at his desk, they are so very little and they are so very eepy they need their mid day nap with their papa bear its a requirement non negotiable (cucus doesnt mind bc thats his egg ofc but doesnt love how the workers tend to coo when they enter his office.... hes so big and scary and definitely not a good caring father)
This is semi cannon but i like to think Nachos like the addams family kids/nanny mcfee kids in those two movies and that they keep getting assigned different babysitters (usually bunny ones) and keep tormenting them and making them run away <3

Warning!
Long ramble about pizza tower even though I'm mostly talking about basics and levels and like other stuff ig!
Future me: sorry if it's cut off Tumblr keeps goofin around
Tumblr media
Pizza tower spoilers even though I think everybody knows what it is but just in case I'll leave some stuff out.
Lets start off with the story, when we open up the game we get a little intro for why we are in the tower but there isn't much story that comes with it. The protagonist Peppino spaghetti is first seen in the first part of the cut scene and he looks miserable because he isn't able to pay his debt(Boohoo) when suddenly something appears in his restaurant, it's pizzaface, the main Gillian of the game and he is here to kill you with no regrets. He threatens peppino to go to his Pizza tower or he is gonna get a big ass Lazer and Lazer blast the living shit out of peppinos pizzeria so peppino is there like "DAAAAAAAMNNN DON'T DO THAT" and he starts running to the tower chasing the flying pizza but as soon as peppino enters the tower pizzaface that coward flew some where so peppino is all like "omg" and then the door slams shut behind him and he's all scared and stuff. Thats the story(that is not very accurate but accurate) anyway let's talk about tower basics. There are 5 floors, 6 bosses, 20 levels, 19 treasures, 95 toppins in total(but there are five for each level), and 57 secrets, and 26 clothes in total for peppinito of your counting both classic cook clothes and Halloween clothes of course. And also there are some hidden rooms throughout the tower and there are exactly 6 secret hub rooms. Lets start the game now, when you first enter the tower and walk to the right(idk my lefts and right so correct me if I'm wrong)there will be a pizza coded door, that is called tutoriel(undertale joke) you have to do the tutorial because it is necessary, unskipabble even if you wanna skip it! Don't complain just speed run it, but anyway in the level you will find an NPC called "Pizza granny" Granny will teach you basic movesets that peppino has so you don't keep getting them D-ranks, also while this is the tutorial pzaGranny doesn't show all the movesets you can use and I like this because on your way while beating the tower you can learn new things that peppino can do like the cute twirl and also that thing where he slides on the ground and starts going at max speed .. I think thats called match dash I have no memory of what that's called whatsoever but anywho if you beat the tutorial in under 2 mins or to be exact 1 minute and 45 seconds you will get access to all Lap 2 portals, Ill explain what those are later but first let's continue, after you beat the tutorial the hard pizza blocks that were blocking your way blow up and now you have access to other levels including John gutter, pizza escape, ancient cheese(should of been ancient grease THE PUN IS RIGHT THERE!! ANCIENT GREASE! IT'S RIGHT THERE AAAAA), Bloodsauce dungeon and The first boss fight which is none other then the pretty pepper himself, Pepperman. I love this idiot. Anyway back to the levels, when you beat tutorial as I said you unlock those levels and first you get to John gutter, once you enter John gutter your met with this purple themed area with many dead John's and also other enemies like cheese slimes and fork knights and monkeys(they are so annoying but silly), as you run along this new level you get to actually bring that moveset style stuff you just learned from the tutoriel to life because John gutter is a great example of what you should do after you learn how to play so let's just say that John gutter is like tutorial number 2 but more level-y. Yea. Anyways there are secrets here, hidden around but hard to pass(sometimes) and when you get to these you'll find an eyeball that's not fully pink but has some pink on it with pretty pretty eyelashes and when ya run into them you your teleported into a different room that is pink, the background has drawings of like eyes and little question marks or whateva and guess what! Every different eye you run into in every different level contains a different set up(duh) with different characters too because they are all randomized! So what I'm trying to say is each character you meet that are on these little brown pizza box platforms are just uhh different each time.. Like the levels(didn't know what to say). Anyway I know

One shot!
First love
Bill denbrough x reader
The middle of fall season, leaves that owned the color of rust and spices fell from the trees as we stared into each other's eyes.
"how are you, william?" I simply ask although he did not answer. "W-w-what are you d-dd-doing here?" "Its stan's wedding, im his friend too y'know" i chuckle at his question with such an obvious answer "well i-i-m doing good and you?" He replied at my earlier question adding such sas.
"im glad you're doing good i have to go now before bev figures out im missing, see you around bill" i say and left not wanting to hear his reply. He was my ex y'know and is still my first love, will forever be. Im glad he's doing well although it stung how it seems that hes happy without me while i suffer every night recalling what i did to him...
_____________________________________________
"What are you doing exactly?" I chuckle as his attempt at painting "i-i-m obv-v-viously p-p-aint-ting you!" I says scrunching his nose covered with different colors of paint "thats suppose to be me??? I look like THAT??" I ask in horror "AHUH! Pp-p-pretty right" he exclaimed winking at me. I laugh at his actions when he suddenly stands up and hugs me! "Bill you're getting paint all over me!" "T-thats fine a-a-n a gr-gre-great artist is never cl-clean" he smiles at me as he hugs me tighter "i wish wecould stay like this forever" i whisper as i rest my head on to his chest "me too" he says before kissing my forehead.
_____________________________________________
"where are you taking me bill???"
"j-just trust me, we're al-almost t-th-there" he chuckles as he leads me up some hill i assume? Covering my eyes with his hands.
"t-t-tada!" He removes his hands exposing a picnic set up on. A hill near the outskirts or derry maine.
"i love you" was all i said as i admire his work and efforts.
We sat down and talked about random stuff for hours while eating the sandwhiches he prepared "extra c-c-cheese like you want" he says smiling as i eat the wonky sandwhich he made.
After eating i start reading a book he prepared for me to read as he lays on my lap "you're pretty" he says out of the blue "d-dont say that" i stutter, covering my red face with the book as i look away. He chuckles "i l-l-ove y-you" he says "i love you too bill" i smile "damn, y-y-yknow one day i-i-ill say i l-l-love you without st-st-stuttering he pouts sitting up crossing his arms making me laugh at his cuteness, making him laugh as well. We laughed like fools inlove for hours.
_____________________________________________
"lets break up"
"what...?"
"look bill, i cant stay here with you and being in a relationship while being far away from each other? I cant handle that" i say staring at him, as much as it hurt, it had to be done for me, and for him.
"a-after everything? S-seriously?!? You know d-d-damn well you can handle that s-stop with t-the ex-c-cuses [name]..." Bill said with an expression too sorrowful hard to describe "i have to focus on my studies i cant abandon everything i worked hard for bill!" I shout at him. I didn't mean to.
"s-s-so you're abandoning wh-wh-what we have?"
How could i ever recover from what he said?
"...."
"answer m-m-e [name]"
"i can't let go of my dreams bill" i simply stay
"am i the easiest t-t-thing y-you could throw -a-away?" He asks me, choking on his own words, holding back his tears
"no"
He stares at me
"you're the only thing....i can throw away"
I walk away, tears going down my cheeks not stopping, how could i say that when i know its all a lie?
I stop for a second when my keys dropped from my hand
"i love you..." I heard him say, not stuttering for the first time
If i looked back i know i would run back to him and abandon my dreams, my future, i cant do that so i picked up my keys and left.
Leaving my first love standing in the rain.
Hurting him was the only way for him to move on, a person like me who prioritizes their future over the person they love doesn't deserve anyone specially bill.
This is super super!! Rushed so im really sorry if there are any grammatic errors i wrote this at 3am so yeah my mind is not working properly, anyways i hope you guys enjoyed it!!<333

Happy Birthday, Jonathan!
Actually it's his estimated 190th birthday on 4th Dec but I thought I'd post this early as some light relief since we're all suffering from the nasty virus that is Long Markle:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/dec/02/worlds-oldest-recorded-tortoise-prepares-for-190th-birthday-party
While staying up late for Dave Thorpe's StrictlySpoiler (big fan of Strictly though I don't vote as it's not my country!), I spent my time looking up what life was like in 1832. Facts and figures from Cutler's History of English Agriculture, various historical websites and money-conversion places; any calculation errors are mine, as they say.
Historical Money Note: four farthings to one penny (d); twelve pennies to one shilling (s); twenty shillings to one pound (l).
In 1832, the average rural labourer would have earned between 10 and 15s a week, depending on his skills. If he had a working wife, she'd have earned about half that, and if he was lucky he'd have a working-age child or two who might contribute another 10s a week between them, so we're looking at an average rural family (say two adults, plus four or five children) with an income of approx 25 to 30s.
That's £1.50 a week in modern sterling.
What would your £1.50 a week have bought you?
Well your weekly rent would have been about 2s. You'd spend 6s a week on bread, and another 6s for your weekly milk, cheese, butter and tea. You'd be growing your own vegetables and potatoes, and you'd probably spend about 2s 6d a week on a pound or two of bacon or sausage or offal. You wouldn't be eating steak or pork chops - they were just for rich people. You'd only be eating fish if you caught it yourself (on the sly when the landowner wasn't around) or if you lived by the coast with access to a friendly fisherman to sell you herrings and shellfish. Remember that transport was still basic in 1832, so people who lived inland wouldn't have access to fresh sea produce.
If you were daring, you could supplement your meat rations by snaring rabbits or pigeons, or otherwise poaching game, though you risked a severe fine or gaol if you were caught. If you were lucky you'd have a few hens to lay eggs for you (initial outlay: price of laying hens, about 1s each), or you'd have to buy eggs at about 8-10d per dozen.
You'd probably have ale at about one or two farthings a pint. A lot of workers would spend their evenings at the local tavern because candles and firewood or coal would have cost you 2s a week - beer was cheaper, and your children were probably all huddled up warm and cosy together in one bed anyway, so why bother heating the home?
Don't forget that you'd have to save a few pennies a week towards clothes, boots and tools; oh and soap and household stuff. And as you also earned less in winter (farming being seasonal) you'd benefit from having a careful wife who'd squirrel away your spare summer money for the hard months, and not mind being beaten up for not giving you any more beer money. A very careful wife might even save enough to buy a piglet (very expensive, probably around 10s) to fatten up on kitchen scraps, or maybe something special for Christmas dinner.
You wouldn't be able to afford a doctor if you were ill, by the way, so she'd have to have an emergency 6d or so for the apothecary. And then there's long-term injury or illness to think about, and old age, and the ever-present threat of poverty and the workhouse. Not that you'd live that long anyway, as the average life expectancy of an English farm labourer in 1832 was about 40.
Easy to complain about today's inflation, but we still have it better than 1832.
And, no spoilers but I'm sad for the person who was voted off Strictly tonight, I was hoping they'd get rid of the other one who I find a bit annoying.

Which Supplements To Take?
With so many choices out there, it can be hard to know what supplements you should take to achieve your health goals. Different supplements work for different people and different goals but, in general, cheap vitamins online uk are a good place to start when trying to get healthier. This article has some tips on which ones you might want to consider!
What Are Vitamins?
Vitamins are essential nutrients that your body needs in order to function properly. They play a role in many bodily processes, including the growth and development of cells, the maintenance of healthy skin and hair, and the prevention of certain diseases. A vitamin is a mineral or organic compound that is not a protein. There are 26 known vitamins, but you don't need them all--most people get enough from food. There are three types of vitamins: water-soluble, fat-soluble, and B-complex. Water-soluble vitamins can be absorbed through the skin and intestines, while fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the body. B-complex vitamins are involved in energy production and help to prevent heart disease, stroke, and some forms of cancer. Some people take multivitamins to make up for any deficiencies they may have in specific vitamins. Others take specific vitamins to address specific health concerns. If you're not sure which supplements to take, speak with your doctor or health care professional.
How Vitamins Work
A good dietary supplement for general health is a multi-vitamin. A multi-vitamin can help prevent some forms of deficiency, such as vitamin B12, iron and zinc deficiencies. However, supplements should not be taken as a replacement for a healthy and balanced diet. A healthy diet should include plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, lean protein sources and enough water to stay hydrated.
Why Take Vitamins
If you are looking for a comprehensive guide to supplements, you're in the right place. In this article, we will discuss the different benefits and reasons to take vitamins and mineral supplements. The most important thing to remember when taking vitamins or minerals is to be aware of your own body's needs. Everyone is different and responds differently to various supplements, so it's important to work with a healthcare professional if you are unsure which ones would be best for you. However, here are some general guidelines to follow: -If you are older or have an illness, be sure to speak with your doctor before taking any supplements. -If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, be sure to speak with your doctor before taking any supplements. -If you have a healthy diet and don't smoke, there is no need to take multivitamins or minerals. However, it's always a good idea to check with your doctor before starting any new supplement regimen.
Examples of Vitamin Types and Their Benefits
The health benefits of supplements depend on the type of supplement and the individual's specific needs. A few examples of vitamins and mineral supplements are as follows: Vitamin A: This vitamin is important for vision and overall health. It helps the body resist infections and supports cell growth. Vitamin A can be found in foods such as liver, cheese, leafy green vegetables, and fortified milk products. Vitamin D: This vitamin is important for maintaining bone health. It helps the body convert sunlight into energy and supports calcium absorption in the body. Vitamin D can be obtained from sun exposure or by taking a supplement. Vitamin B12: This vitamin is important for maintaining a healthy nervous system and vital organs. It helps make red blood cells and supports cognitive function. Some food sources of B12 include meat, poultry, fish, eggs, milk, yogurt, cereals, legumes, and nuts. Iron: Iron is an essential mineral that helps carry oxygen throughout the body. It is also involved in protein synthesis and energy production. Iron can be obtained from foods such as red meats, poultry, eggs, fruits and vegetables, fortified foods, or a supplement.
Nutrients to Consider Supplementing With
When it comes to supplements, it's important to be mindful of the individual's specific needs and health goals. However, many people may not have a full understanding of which nutrients they need and should be supplementing with on a regular basis. Below are four key nutrients that may be beneficial for supplementation. Iron: Iron is essential for many processes in the body, including energy production, red blood cell production, and oxygen delivery. It can also play an important role in cognitive function and mood regulation. In women, iron deficiency anemia is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies. Zinc: Zinc is an essential mineral that helps protect against diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease. It also helps the body produce proteins and enzymes, defends against infection, and supports nerve function. Zinc deficiency has been linked with lowered immunity and impaired wound healing. Selenium: Selenium is a mineral that can help protect against heart disease, certain types of cancer, and cognitive decline in older adults. It's also known to improve fertility status in women. Selenium deficiency has been linked with a number of adverse health effects, such as impaired thyroid function and increased risk for
Compare the Cost of Various Supplements and What They're Best Used Fo
Which supplements to take? The cost of different supplements can be quite varied, and what they're best used for can vary as well. Some people might prefer to take a multivitamin every day, while others might find that a specific vitamin or mineral is more beneficial to them. Some people also choose to take supplements that are specifically designed to help with specific health concerns, such as joint health or cognitive enhancement. There is no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to which supplements to take, so it's important to do your research before making a decision.

What do you do when there’s not much to an AU? You make up your own stuff, ofc. And as is per usual when I make Character Designs, I make up a shit ton of lore too.
The ramblings under the cut, but what I’m really interested in, is what you guys think. Do you guys have any headcanons/ideas for this AU? Let me hear them! Also, if you don’t wanna read on tumblr, here’s the Google Docs link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/151yshHxnb_--P6eMKkwkI2dee9xC_Llb/view?usp=sharing
Before I get into the characters’ roles, here’s some general facts and backstory of their town:
- Basically, it’s Undertale meets Harvest Moon / Stardew Valley. Well, kinda. I at least used that approach for coming up for the jobs for the characters. You know, how there’s always a general store, a doctor, a smithy, etc.
- The usual story of a HM game is that you come to a town that’s way past its glory days and you, as the player/farmer, help them get back to that. The “backstory” of the town is that that already kinda happened. I’ll get into it more in the character description, but basically when Asgore was still mayor, the town got really popular. Then yadda yadda, a certain tragedy happened, two kids died, and the town suddenly got very bad publicity. There was a lot of stuff going on back then, bad reputation being spread and also a lot of law stuff, cos, you know, supposed child murder ‘n all, so Asgore made the decision to shut off the town to ppl from outside. This was in the interest of most monsters living there, because as fun as it is to have a lot of people coming there, most just wanted to live a quiet life. Not everyone was happy with that though, so many moved away from town and some others are trying to get the town back on its feet. But more on that later.
On to the characters:
I’m just gonna start with the skelebros, cos it’s their fault in the first place I got so invested.
Basically, they are what the player is in hm/sdv. They just showed up one day, took over the abandoned farmhouse and began their life there. The two came to town way after it was “closed” and since then a new mayor has opened the possibility for new residents to move in. Their farm helps the economy of the town a lot and the mayor, like usually in hm games, is trying to use that to make the town more known again. The skelebros aren’t really working towards that goal however.
So, now a bit more detail on them individually.
Papyrus:
- The design is mostly based on what’s “canon” in this au.
- He works mostly on the fields and is in charge of the crops. Their fields aren’t spectacularly big, but still big enough to plant a few dozen rows of veggies. 
- Paps also helps out a lot in town when he has the time. He helps Asgore with his plants, he goes fishing with Undyne, helps Toriel carry crates around and so on. This is inspired by the part-time job mechanic in HM ToT.
- Unbelievably, in this AU Pap is not an absolutely awful cook. Since he helps out at Muffet’s and Grillby’s a lot, they tend to show him some tricks to cooking. Even though Pap’s not a big fan of the greasy or overly sweet cooking those two do, he picks up a lot.
Sans:
- Again, design mostly based on the “canon” look. Maybe a bit more baggy.
- This is finally an AU this dude gets to rest. Since there are no resets and he doesn’t have to see his bro die again and again, for once in his life, he’s not a sad ball of depression. He’s just a chill and lazy dude that loves to make puns. Though, since he’s not too experienced with the feelings of loss, helplessness or grieving, he still tends to hide behind puns and fakes smiles if he does feel bad.
- Sans is in charge of the animals on the farm. Papyrus begrudgingly gave him that role since Pap’s loud demeanour and hectic movements usually scare the animals. Sans’ relaxed attitude draws the animals to him naturally and even if Pap mostly finds him sleep against a tree, in a stack of hay or on one of the sheep, the animals are always fed, healthy and relaxed, so Sans seems to be doing his job.
- Sans always has a small chic sit inside his hoodie or hat. Is it always the same one? Who knows, maybe.
- Sans also, somehow, can produce eggs out of thin air. Grab into his hoodie pocket, in his pants pocket, in his hat, in his slipper, there’s suddenly always an egg there. On good days he can even make butter or cheese appear. 
Gaster:
- He’s literally just a scarecrow in this. Though, if you ask any of the bros why they designed their scarecrow that way, they won’t have an answer.
Frisk&Toriel:
- Frisk is mostly based on what I wore myself as a kid in summer. Just a loose shirt with a cappy. Toriel basically has her ut gown, just with an apron on top.
- Frisk just appeared outside the “magical” forest one day. Napstablook and his cousin found them and brought them to Toriel, who has been taking care of them since.
- Toriel runs the general store in town, but also often takes care of the few kids that still live there.
- Frisk usually helps out in Toriels store, plays with the other kids or sits around at Asgore’s. They’re notorious for nabbing small snacks, mostly from Asgore’s plants. You’ll always find them munching on something. 
- Frisk was in town before the skelebros. Since they’d moved in, Frisk often went to spy on their farm. After a small incident with angry chicken, Frisk got to know the two better and now they see them as something between brothers and uncles.
- But Frisk honestly gets along with everyone. Just like in UT, they’ve not only been adopted by Toriel but literally everyone.
- Toriel and Asgore’s relationship is not as bad as in the main game, since, you know, Asgore didn’t kill literal children, but there’s still tension between them. Back when Asriel and Chara died and the whole thing with the bad rep for the town began, Toriel felt betrayed by Asgore focusing more on the town than giving their deceased kids the grieving they deserved. They’re not divorced, but Toriel still moved out and said needed space to think. Now that Frisk is in the picture though, the both of them are slowly coming to even ground and may even be able to talk things out and clear up the uncertainty of their decisions.
Asgore:
-Asgore has his UT Ending / Deltarune clothes, just with a gardener’s belt.
- He’s the previous mayor of the town, but after all the crap that happened, he stepped down from the position. Now he has his own little shop and sells seeds, saplings, homegrown veggies and fertilizer. So, basically what e.g. the Marimba Farm is in HM AP
- His main customer is Papyrus and they’re on friendly terms. Asgore is worried about how much and how hard Pap works, so he often gives him a discount. 
- Since his family’s past tragedy, Asgore is kind of nervous around kids. So, when he first met Frisk, he hoped they’d not visit him too often. But to his chagrin, Frisk took an instant liking to him and spends a lot of time at his shop (and steals eats the fresh grown veggies). Now, he’s really grateful for that, because for one, he loves Frisk as dearly as he had his own children, and also because now the tension and mistrust between him and Toriel seem to grow smaller day by day.
Undyne&Alphys:
- I gave Undyne a pretty basic fisher’s outfit. Alphys basically has Elli from HM’s outfit, just a bit more doctory stuff added. She still has her canon lab coat too.
- In essence, Undyne and Alphys have 2 completely different jobs. Alphys is the resident doctor and Undyne runs the fish market.
Two things. Yes, I know Alphys is more a mechanic than a doctor, she fits the aesthetic though, so she’s the doc now. And no, Undyne being a fisherwoman is not cannibalism, think of it more as a shark hunting smaller fish.
- The reason I lump them together is because they act as the local “smithy”. Alphys is still really tech savvy in this (I mean, Mettaton is still part of this AU), so she takes on most problems with electronics and stuff. For Undyne, I didn’t want to lose her Royal Guard’s Captain image, so she’s really good at handling tools (and weapons, but Al doesn’t let her make them anymore). So basically, if there’s a broken tool, you can be sure that either Undyne or Alphys can fix it.
- As for relationships, those two are still an item. Alphys is still really shy and a shut-off, but since Undyne and Pap become best friends, she gets to know the skelebros better. She and Sans especially get along well, since most of the time Undyne and Papyrus are let loose, they sit back and talk about science-y stuff. (no, Sans doesn’t have a background in science but he’s still into sci-fi)
- Alphys has a bit of a strained relationship with both Asgore and Mettaton.
Back when Chara and Asriel died, it was because of “illness” (maybe poisoning?). Alphys feels awful because with her back then limited knowledge on medicine she couldn’t help the two. Asgore doesn’t hold anything against her but Alphys can’t help but feel guilty.
Alphys still built Mettaton’s body in this one. The two had a really big disagreement, because Mettaton hated the fact the town was going to close, and he couldn’t understand how Alphys could feel otherwise, even more so endorse the idea.
Mettaton, Napstablook, Mad Dummy/Mew Mew:
- Napsta and Dummy are pretty self-explanatory, they got straw hats. Mettaton’s outfit is a bit of a joke cos it’s a play on “work at the top and party at the bottom”. The tie has two different sides, one with the yellow red pattern, the other completely red. His “top part” is the business part, because when he’s on tv or in the mayors’ office, you don’t usually see his feet. The bottom is his party/dance part, cos his dancing/entertainment channels mostly feature his legs. 
- Mettaton, still a robot, Napstablook and Mad Dummy are all still cousins in this AU.
- Originally, they all lived and worked at the Blook Farm, the Animal Farm of this AU. Mettaton, however, despised that simple live and after befriending Alphys and her building him a body, he left the Farm to pursue bigger things. 
- Mettaton runs the local tv network. From weather to game shows, he does it all. He also runs the tailor shop in town that sells his designer clothes and merchandise. After Asgore stepped down, Mettaton also took over the role of town’s mayor and now works towards making the place more known again. Not everybody is happy with him doing that though.
- One of those people is the Mad Dummy. He can’t stand people anyways and he always claims that history would just repeat itself.
- Since the whole family is made of ghosts, they have different dummies and scarecrows they can use to take care of the animals. To mock Mettaton and kinda get back at Alphys for giving MTT such an opportunity, Mad Dummy found the blueprints for the Mew Mew robot and now modelled one of their scarecrows after it. 
- Napstablook isn’t fond of taking over obejcts like his cousins do, so he mostly takes care of the snails. Somehow, he can interact with them even when incorporeal. 
Muffet&Grillby:
- The two of them run the Inn together. Muffet cooks in the daytime and makes desserts, Grillby manages the bar in the evening. 
- The two still can’t really stand each other but working together like this benefits them both because their rivalry just spurs them on more.
- Even though Grillby is a patient person, somehow Muffet is the only person who riles him up enough to retaliate. (Well, maybe except for Sans, he’s a strong second).
So, basically everything between those two is a challenge in some way. Even if Papyrus doesn’t notice, even his cooking lessons are a challenge for them. 
- Even though they’re constantly bickering, after working together for so many years, there’s a strange level of respect and trust between them. Even if back when they first started this business, they’d pour salt into an already open wound, nowadays they’d know better and just take a step back from the other or even comfort the other (on very rare occasions only). 
Asriel&Chara:
- They be dead. Kinda.
Some Characters that’d live in that town too but that I haven’t made designs for:
- Gerson is the original smithy of the town. He’d grown up in a family of smiths, but he’d always had an appreciation for the sea. That’s why, when the town became more deserted and Undyne had a good enough skill level as smith, he took up the Captains hat and now mostly spends his days out on sea. He also ferries people to places if they need him to. Oh, and just like in canon, Undyne learned most of her skills from him.
- Burgerpants is a poor dude Mettaton basically kidnapped when he was trying to get fame in the city. Now Burgerpants works wherever MTT needs him to, be that as cameraman for the tv shows, cashier in his tailor shop or his slave secretary in the mayor’s office.
- MK is Frisk’s best kid friend. MK’s parents are in charge of shipping the goods out of town and paying the individual people. MK’s the one that usually collects the goods at the end of the day.
- Other than that, there are only a few people in town. I’d imagine the older folks or the really young families stayed in town after it was closed. I think the librarby dude would still run the library. Some Snowdin residents like the stone family or the dogs also might still live there.

I’ll Be Home For Christmas — Vinnie Hacker
Pairing/s: Vinnie Hacker x fem!reader
Summary: I’ll be home for Christmas, you can plan on me. Christmas eve will find her where the love light gleams.
Warning/s: Language
Word Count: ~2.6k words
Song Suggestion/s:
Y/n’s POV
Christmas Eve, 1:24 pm
The clock is ticking. I’ve been staring at my laptop screen for a good amount of 20 minutes trying to think if I should fly over to Seattle for Christmas. I don’t even know why this is such a hard decision for me, of course, I want to spend time with Vinnie and his family even if I already spent Thanksgiving there. The only problem is if he wants me there. Things have been rocky between us because of being on both ends of the country, me in New York and him in Los Angeles. Add to the fact that it feels like we’re only together because it’s what we’re used to at this point so we decided to cool off for a minute, just until after the holidays to figure out if we still want this. I don’t need to decide if I still want to be with him because I truly do. I love Vinnie and I would do anything to be with him and to make him happy with me. I love Christmas in New York but I overlooked the loneliness this city and its dreadful cold causes me. It feels empty, emptier than usual, and I don’t want to be here.
I finally booked a 6 and a half hour flight to his hometown that leaves in…2 hours. I’ve been texting Maria to try and get a feel if he wants me there. I don’t want to ruin their Christmas by showing up unannounced so I told her that I’m going.
To: Maria Hacker
Hi Maria! How’s Vin?
I plan to book a flight to visit u guys. Would that be alright?
U can totally say no!
N dont tell Vinnie hehe
From: Maria Hacker
Are u kidding me Y/n? Of course we want u here!
Vins been down. he misses u
Btw lmk what time Nate could pick u up
To: Maria Hacker
My flight leaves in 2 hours so ill land by 9-ish!
Sorry for d hassle :((
From: Maria Hacker
Okay, thats perfect! N dont worry abt it
Keep safe Y/n
I quickly dressed up and got gifts for the family and went to Vinnie’s favorite bakery and restaurant to get an apple pie and lobster mac and cheese so that I could at least have some contribution to the celebration. I remember when he first visited me here, we went to the bakery to get a late-night snack and all they had was a single slice of apple pie. We had no choice because we were starving and it turned out to be the best thing we ever ate together. And the lobster mac and cheese because when we went on a date, I teased him about getting something a kid would order but he shoved it down my mouth and I still remember how I made him switch our meals. We were so in love back then, so alive. I hurried back to my apartment to pack my bags and now I’m on my way to the airport.
2:50 pm
I’m finally at JFK and the whole place is packed. Everybody’s trying to get home to their families and a lot of the flights were getting canceled because there’s a mild snowstorm. I’m finally at my gate as the flight attendant announced that our flight would be pushed back till 5 pm. I texted Maria about the situation and she told me to not sweat it. I could almost cry from frustration and just when I felt like no one’s eyes were on me since everybody’s got their own thing, an old lady tapped me by the hand.
“Dear, what’s wrong?” She asked me and I flinched in surprise.
“Oh, nothing. I just wanna get in time to see my boyfriend for Christmas.” I wiped the tears that I didn’t know were there and chuckled to ease my emotions.
“Don’t worry, we’ll get there in time.” I just nodded.
After a minute of silence, I spoke up. “You know, I think I’m losing him.” I looked down at my hands in embarrassment. I did not just share my love life with a stranger.
“How come?”
“I don’t know. We weren’t what we used to be, I guess. He’s not in love with me anymore.” I sniffled at my confession.
“Is that why you’re going to see him? Is this your grand gesture?” Her warm smile made me tear up more.
“Yeah, I guess it is my grand gesture. But enough about me, how ‘bout you? Why are you going to Seattle?”
“I’m gonna visit my husband. Married for 43 years. He passed away last year.” She gripped my hand and I felt the pain that she was carrying but it was masked behind her smile. I could never fathom the thought of losing a loved one.
“43? That’s amazing.” I smiled. “So how did you guys make it work?”
“Well…” She sighed. “We always made sure to communicate. But most importantly, we made sure to always, always understand.” My stomach dropped at her statement.
She continued on as I just listened: “You know, sweetheart, there will always be a time wherein you’re not in love…it’s inevitable. But simply not being in love isn’t a ticket to immediately leave. The both of you have to try to make it work because there’s love itself, in its purest form. Nothing will ever last if you’re only focusing on the ‘falling in love’ aspect of it. That’ll fade and you’ll be left with what you think is nothing. But it’s not nothing, it’s just the absence of the chaos that is being in love, and there you’ll find comfort, peace, and simplicity. Even stability.”
“Have you ever noticed with new couples or those in the dating stage that they’re always doing something? Be it dinner dates or Disneyland trips?“ She asked and I nodded. “They could never sit still and just be there. It’s because they’re falling in love. But once you find love, you’ll learn that just existing in each other’s arms and watching TV at home is just as satisfying.”
And then I understood all at once. “Oh! So, of course, you go on dates, the not sitting still, so that you can find love within them and when you finally do, then you’ll constantly find love in them even in the most basic of things like you know…sitting still?” She nodded in agreement.
We sat still for a minute until I spoke again. “So how are you now that he’s gone?” I frowned a bit knowing it’ll hit home.
“Oh, my dear. He’s not gone, he’s just not here with me physically. But I miss him. I really do. There’s not a day where I wish he’s here with me. Even 43 years isn’t enough, I suppose.” She lightly chuckled and my heart stung in pain. Vinnie and I failed to see the big picture.
I was about to speak when she spoke again. “Hold on to each other, I can tell you really love him. You are willing to sit still for a few hours for him.” We both laughed at the irony.
“Thank you…” I began but I didn’t even catch her name.
“Barbara. And you are?”
“Y/n. Thank you, Barbara. I really needed that.” I spoke with sincerity.
I looked up at her and smiled as I said: “So what was he like?” She smiled back as if she waited her whole life to tell her piece.
“He was everything to me. He was kind, an awful cook, but he was a great father and husband.” I saw her shed a tear. “He always made sure I was okay first. It was always like that with him: me first and him second. He definitely knew how to make me feel special.”
“Wow, he’s kinda like my Vinnie.”
“Well if my Anthony’s just like your Vinnie then I think you’ll last a lifetime.” We both laughed.
After a few more hours of talking, it was finally time to board the plane. We parted ways but made sure to keep in touch just in case I needed any more elderly advice. That conversation was enlightening to me because what she said was true: you don’t always have to be in love. Being in love means expecting the next big thing and then bigger and then more grandiose. But love and loving means you can rest your bones and hold each other. It’s the comfortable silence and little things that matter most.
10:42 pm
Just a few more minutes. I squirmed around my seat anxiously as if that’ll make the plane fly faster. I’m worried that I won’t make it in time for our call. You see, Vinnie and I made an arrangement that we get to call at a certain time if we still want to be with each other, just like Miranda and Steve from Sex and the City, and if we didn’t then we won’t call or pick up. But theirs is that they’ll meet at the Brooklyn Bridge. Our time was at 12:05 this coming December 25th and I know I’ll make it but I’m still on edge.
Vinnie’s POV:
“Nate, honey, could you bring this to your sister’s house? You know she doesn’t like cold roast chicken.” My mom smiled at my dad as he fulfilled her orders. I can admit I’ve not been the great since Y/n and I made the decision to cool off but I think it’s for the best. I know my answer though and that is I still want to be with her. She makes me the best version of myself and that’s what I constantly want to be for her.
“Hey, mom?” I called out.
“Yeah?” I could hear her from their bedroom as I went and asked for her advice.
“Do you think Y/n and I could still give it another shot?” I was being truthful to her about my relationship problem because I know she could help me.
“Of course, Vin. You have to make it work because I like her and she’s like the daughter I never had.” She pointed her finger at me as if I was being scolded.
I leaned on the door just in case she still had something to say. “Do you want my advice, Vin?” I nodded. “Your problem is fixable. You just have to talk and not talk for the sake of being heard but to be understood. So what if the ‘fire’ died down? Light it again! And again and again!” She said as if in disbelief.
“I didn’t raise no quitter, okay? You’re lucky you’ve found a girl that puts up with you.” She cupped my face and kissed my cheek.
“Hey! What’s that supposed to mean?” I pouted but she just laughed and ignored my question.
It’s almost midnight and my dad’s still nowhere to be found so I asked my mom about it. “Hey, mom? What’s taking dad so long?”
“I don’t know, Vin. Just sit tight and we’ll eat by midnight or when they get home.” I notice her perk up as if in panic.
“They? Who’s they?”
“I said he, Vin. You really need to lay off on those video games, it’s hurting your ears.” I just shrugged it off, not caring anymore.
Y/n’s POV
11:24 pm
I know we’re supposed to hate those people who rush to get out of planes but I understand now because the second they told us we could exit the aircraft, I ran at lightning speed. Well, not really. I’m finally at the doors of the airport when I saw Nate. I ran up to him and I hugged him and now we’re on our way home.
“Uhm…Nate…how many minutes till we get there?” I looked at him warily.
“In about 30 minutes. Don’t worry, we’ll get there.” He just chuckled.
“Thank you for this, by the way. I didn’t wanna be a burden to you guys especially on Christmas Eve but I just really wanted to spend the holidays with him.” I looked out the window so that he couldn’t see the tears that were about to fall from my eyes.
“You’re never a burden to us, Y/n. We’re glad you’re spending it with us because Vinnie’s being a little bitch with his moping.”
“I think I’m to blame for that.” We just laughed it off. “Has he…has he ever talked to me about you guys? Cause we’re kind of figuring it out if we still want each other.”
“Are you kidding me? He talks about you all the time! He keeps on joking that he’ll bail on us just to be with you in New York. And as for you guys figuring it out…I think traveling across the country during the Christmas rush shows how much you still wanna be together.” He said as if it’s a matter of fact. It’s true though and even if you asked me to ride multiple trains just to get here then I would.
“So why’s there chicken at the back?”
“Prop.” Nate answered as we both laughed.
Christmas Day, 12:03 am
After what felt like hours, we’re finally at their house. The minute Nate pulled the handbrake, I ran towards their door. I think I gave everybody a fright when I opened it because they all looked at me with wide eyes. Vinnie’s the last to look up because he was by the Christmas tree staring at his phone, sulking.
“Hi.” I said breathlessly to Vinnie as my heart rate picked up. I didn’t know what else to say. My eyes pooled with tears and a single one even dropped down to my cheeks. This smells like a Hallmark movie.
“Hi…” He said and I saw he was holding back his tears. “I was uhm…I was just about to call you.” He sniffled and that’s when I ran and leaped into his arms. A huge amount of relief fled my body because he still wanted me. He still loves me.
“I know. You don’t have to. I’m here, my love. I’m not going anywhere.” I hugged him tightly, missing his warmth on mine. “You know, I would call but I’d rather tell you myself.” I smiled at Vinnie as I cupped his face in my hands and I kissed him.
“I’m sorry I almost gave up on us.” He whispered to my ear when I was hugging him. I could sense the tears and how he’s choking up from his own emotions.
“It’s alright, Vin. I’m sorry too. I love you so much.” I pulled his head off of my shoulder and looked him in the eyes, my fingers brushing the hair on his forehead.
“I love you.” He kissed me, family-appropriate of course. And when we pulled away, we heard Maria clap her hands as she told us to get on over there and eat because she’s hungry already.
“Thank the heavens you came, Y/n. We wouldn’t have been able to handle a moody Vinnie till New Year.” Maria said as she rolled her eyes.
As we were eating, I couldn’t help but think of how I got so lucky with Vinnie. It’s not every day you find someone you truly wanna spend your whole life with and even then you’ll, unfortunately, find things to resent about them but no, not with Vin. Not to mention his wonderful family that treats me as their own and definitely, definitely, treats me better than their son. I don’t know what I did in my past life but I’m so grateful it led me here.
Author’s Note: Merry Christmas! I hope u guys enjoy this one :’)

a duet, honey sweet
[ tasm! peter parker x you ]
author’s note: nwh still has me by the throat and i would like to thank andrew garfield for reminding me that i love him, your honor, and i actually care about Putting An Effort into my writing again! thanks peter 3 i love u. meet cute, angst city population: us, implied death, talking through grief, nwh spoilers
word count: 1781
It started with a joke.
Not even a good joke, really. Dry in quality, a bit ill-timed. An adventurous dad might even second guess the cheese-level and cower in fear at the reception. Next Level Cringe, if you will.
Regardless, that didn’t stop you from laughing unapologetically across the coffee shop, didn’t stop you from tearing your eyes away from the pages of your book, well worn, well loved, spine creased. That pull you felt, the intrigue that inspired you to at least see who had the guts to say something so-
It was unexpected, to connect with a pair of soft brown eyes in a sea of many others. You didn’t expect him to be handsome, or charming, or. . . distant, wasn’t quite right, and neither was careful. Hesitant, though. It fit snug like a glove, warm and comfy cozy. Which, you realized by the end of the afternoon, was exactly how this Peter Parker made you feel.
That was a rarity, upon a first meeting. It was noted with delight. Noted with care.
A few days later, the sun spilled through smudged kitchen windows in the warm, lazy fractals of a slow mid morning. They crept up the pages of an open paperback book, pages dogeared, annotated heavily with various colors of ink. A mug of coffee was kept comfortably heated just by sitting in a stray ray of light. It would be a balmy day, by sunlight alone.
And Peter Parker, lounging on the kitchen counter, didn’t notice his phone vibrate beside him – balanced precariously close to the edge – until it vibrated off the counter and smashed to the tile below.
There was a yell in the silence disturbed, the pen twirling in hand, clinking to the floor next to the phone in question. It was lit up, bragging about a fresh text message from a new number saved into it’s memory. Your name lined the top of the bubble, bold and italicized, sharp and striking. That was fitting, Peter thought, because that’s just how he thought of you, post-afternoon meet-cute only a few days before.
Panic, wholesome and wholehearted lit a flare high and wild in his chest upon seeing your name, upon reading your message, upon realizing that you totally hadn’t ghosted him yet and oh no he needs to reply.
But Peter hesitates. Thumbs hover over the keyboard – ready and willing, taunted and fearful.
Memories of his little multi-universal adventure flicker through his mind, heart willing to flutter just a little more, just a little faster before it decides – no, before he, decides – to swing off the edge and take flight. To try again. To maybe, if he’s lucky, move forward just a couple more steps.
He caught himself grinning, when he agrees to meet you for lunch the very next day.
Minutes pass into hours, hours turn into days, melt seamlessly into a month, then two. Maybe even a third, in time.
Flickering candlelight casts shadows dancing on the walls of your apartment, where you and Peter Parker lie captive to an endless blanket cocoon. The weather had turned for the worse, wind blowing rain hard and fast against windowpanes when it wasn’t whistling past in a haunting dirge. To both of you, this meant a movie day, a reading day, a Who Cares What We Do As Long As We’re Together Inside, sort of day.
Laughter bright and ardent, echoed shared over a newer film – one you and Peter hadn’t been quick enough to catch before it fled the cinemas for good.
You watched the flicker of camera angles switch to and fro with refined grace, an arm draped casually over the back of your sofa. Strands of Peter’s hair felt soft as they slid through your fingers, playing mindlessly. Eventually, a delicate trail of skin grazed the length of your other hand, up and down. That same pull seized your heart, that same intrigue. It greeted you like a cherished friend, all snug and warm while your palms met with fingers entwined, and no plans to let go anytime soon.
Your eyes drifted away from characters switching scenes, searching for-
A little hesitance, a little melancholy past his edges, but breathing easier as time went on. He felt the difference – in his mind, his heart, his only mortal soul – as Peter Parker, and as Spider-Man. It was the way everything seemed to twinkle now, seemed to brighten, maybe even sharpen crystal clear in the places he didn’t even notice had blurred and dulled.
All it took was an impulsive quip, and a bright, brilliant laugh from across a dim coffee shop on the other side of the city. And, he eventually admitted, it was maybe just a little bit of his own courageous attempt to embrace this something new, this something familiar, this something comfy cozy and warm.
Those same soft, brown eyes met yours and held, held, held. Shadows flickered across his face, only to be chased away in the next moment by fuzzy, amber light of candle flame. It gilded him in the ways of the heavens, and almost burned your heart to a sudden halt. In that moment, he personified every single feeling that had ever lived without a name.
And the way he’s looking at you – as if you’re a gift from the divine, a second chance at something precious and wholesome and heartfelt – it’s intense, honestly. It’s brand new.
Your lips quirk a hesitant smile. “You okay?”
And Peter-
He’s pulled back from that first afternoon again. The setting sun spilled through big picture windows and turned the air that special shade of rosy pink; the very same he was fairly certain stained his cheeks when your eyes met with his.
And yet, after all this time-
He couldn’t help but think of Gwen. And even though he saved MJ – Gwen was always there, swimming through the depths of his mind, just out of reach. Especially when familiarity arose, how it all ascended out of the caverns of his grief and settled heavy and uneven on his shoulders. Atlas reborn anew. How he felt these things ache with his whole body when his heart had begun to overflow, max capacity reached, tide too high.
He didn’t realize until that afternoon, what that meant for him. To him. Especially now, watching you glowing with the spark of a life lived happily, one that you so easily extended to him.
“What? Yeah, yeah-” Peter scrambles, spits out some words when he registers your question. “Yeah, I’m good. Just thinking.”
Your eyebrows rise, giving his hand a squeeze. “You sure?”
The question rolls off your tongue on a giggle, and Peter’s grin doesn’t reach his eyes.”Yeah,” he nods, squeezes back. “Positive, actually.” His answer comes automatically, maybe even a little breathless. This time, he’s not able to shake them off, the wanderings of his mind.
A candle pops, a wick of fire flares. Another one burns out across the room. Peter’s eyes drift back to the movie, burrows closer to you under the blankets. He had been off somewhere else again.
The film goes uninterrupted for a few more minutes, until, inevitably, Peter speaks up. He’s tugging your hand in his lap, shifts to face you completely. You pull your hand that was playing with his hair back under the covers. His expression is. . .a little bit distant, but it’s harder for you to gauge a proper read in the shadows. “Actually, darling, I uh-”
It’s quick, how the air around him shifts, how he begins to fidget with loose strings on a blanket corner – then drags that same hand through his hair. He won’t meet your eyes, his fingers loosen around yours.
“-can I tell you something?”
You huff a laugh through the uncertainty. Stifle the way a tendril of worry snakes throughout your ribcage when he speaks. A painful, strained thread of distance weaves through his words. It’s steady, and poorly hidden. “No Peter. You can’t tell me anything, ever.”
Tension that had snuck in through cracks of the night’s silence were cut down in a heartbeat with your laugh, and the quiet one you had drawn out of Peter. It was a little easier to breathe, then, for both of you.
So that’s a yes, it was said more to himself, than to you. Ha ha ha, you’re real funny, I’ve told you that, right?
He garners an agreeing hum from you, even a little bit of a smile. And then you’re there -  reaching for the hand that is not already caught in your own, to ground him in the solidity of this moment, of your presence here, together.
It’s kind being with you, he thinks, not for the first time. It’s effortless, yet not at all easy. It’s saccharine sweet and a kick to his ribs, his groin, a cheap shot to his-
“I’m all ears, Peter.”
He chose not to hesitate anymore, didn’t want to hide away the parts of himself that stung the most or lit a fire inside of his heart, because-
Well. He was scared shitless, but he didn’t want to watch you slip through his fingers and fade away too.
He decided to start with a small little bang.
“...we both know there’s some things I haven’t told you. About me.” A breath. Gaze pulled from your tangled hands to your eyes. He found worry in them, hiding among the tenderness you always held for him, regardless of anything or anyone else. He says his piece nice and slow. “But first, I just – I really wanna tell you about someone I knew once. Her name was Gwen.”
And, remarkably, they were right, he realizes.
A new dawn broke through curtains pulled tight against the prying eyes of nightfall. He looks down at you, curled up sweet and safe against his side, sound asleep – had been for hours. An elegy began to play through tv speakers from across the room, credits rolling through title after title, minute by minute. He let them play their part, let the whole movie drone on, actually, with hardly a thought spared in it’s favor. You had been asleep for hours, and he couldn’t find it in him to stir you from your dreams.
Life doesn’t have to be shitty for us, after all.
For the first time in a long time, his heart stirs. Seems to shake off the ash and the crumbling shell that had slowly built up over time. It was soft, what the two of you had. It was gracious.
With a smile all but a ghost upon his lips, he placed a gentle kiss to your crown, and lingered, lingered, lingered. He couldn’t help but wonder. . . was this love?

This Week in BL
April 2021 Part 1
Being a highly subjective assessment of one tiny corner of the interwebs.
Tumblr media
Ongoing Series - Thai
Second Chance Ep 1 - living up to its name since it looks to be a series of redemption arcs. Launched with a college confession and a broken friendship, then a flash back to them as seniors in high school. Pairings include friends to lovers, nerd/jock, and maybe cafe boss/employee. There’s a lot going on, but it’s still... quiet and sweet. The script is pretty pat but it’s still WAY more watchable than Cupid Coach or Brothers and most of the acting is solid. Ep 1 tropes included: he’s in engineering, wound tending, fast & bicurious. This could turn into what I wanted My Gear & Your Gown to be. Fingers crossed. 
Love Poison 2 Ep 1 & 2 turns out I did watch and report on season 1 (8 eps), season 2 seems equally unmemorable. Thai countryside setting, strong dialect, incomprehensible plot, camp side characters, and ghastly singing. 
Y-Destiny Ep 1 (eng subs?) - opened with the sports romance enemies to lovers (they aren’t going in the teaser order). When the couple got over fighting, the flirting was v cute, but the flipping SPONGE BATH trope had to rear its ugly head. Still, this series is shaping up to be less coy and more frank than most BL, better than expected. It feels, I don’t know, gay-er or something?  *** Sources were correct that each couple is getting (at least) 2 eps, and MDL has been updated to say this is a 15 episode series (not 7). 
Cupid Coach 12 fin - The new Nite was great and should have been a main all along. It felt like we got a tiny nugget of what could have been in about 10 minutes worth of this last ep. It was way too slow with terrible editing and a criminally bad script, but at least it ended happy. Mostly, like Friend Forever, I’m just disappointed that these two actors were done dirty by the series. Bad Cupid Coach, no screen caps for you. 
Lovely Writer Ep 6 - breaking news, there’s a het couple I like: toppy bi femme + soft boi = such a good pairing! I know, but this NEVER happens. Meanwhile, Sib’s secret is out, Gene is a bit of a drama queen, and the plot thickens. We half way through.  
Brothers Ep 9 - Kaow had a serious moment of advice giving that was truly lovely. Lots of family dama made this a superior episode to... well... any of the others in this series. Which isn’t saying much. 
1000 Stars Ep 10 fin - at the start this series didn’t grab me the way GMMTV’s last BL, Tonhon Chonlatee, did. But boy did it end 1000x better. Might have given us 2021′s best forehead kiss. I enjoyed the ultra romantic cliff-top reunion kiss, and I LOVED the stinger flirting scene. That was an absolute gift we had no right to expect. This drama is a poster child for finishing on a high note (always focus on that dessert course). Final thoughts? This was FAR more a classic romance than it was BL. There were some BL tropes used but not many and most of them originated in the romance genre not yaoi. A picture perfect ending bumped 1000 Stars much higher up my best-of list than expected. Not sure how often I’ll rewatch it as a whole, but this last episode? I’m probably rewatching it right now. 
Tumblr media
Ongoing Series - Not Thai
Dear Uranus (Taiwan GL) Ep 3 fin - I guess that’s it? Okaaaaay  
HIStory 4: Close To You (Taiwan) Ep 3 (AKA Ep 5-6) - we got actual legit gay culture not just BL (always appreciated) from XingSi. I’m starting to find LiCheng’s “show them we fucking” hijinks hilarious rather than annoying (not sure why, maybe I just love a rubber chicken, or maybe it was the STUFFED CORN WITH THE TASSEL that did it). 
-- H4 Moment of RANT --
Tumblr media
Tropes included beach trip, there’s only one bed, cook for him, baby is a floppy drunk, carry baby to bed, and.... drunk non-con. Whoopdedoo. Here we go again. Did TharnType teach us NOTHING? (Apparently it taught us if the chemistry is good enough, I have no morals at all.) At least H4 seems to be taking us out of cheese into serious when it comes to assault. Or is it? 
I take back what I said last week about XingSi & YongJie being codependency + salvation trope, that only works if YongJie is the uke. He’s NOT. So we got us an obsessive predatory villain with a possible redemption arc. That’s more common in crime dramas, mafia romance, and epic fantasy than BL. It’s real hard to redeem a sexual predator in a reality-grounded universe like contemporary romance (See Kla in LBC1&2). 
Next week is gonna be a test of the whole damn franchise. Imma remind both me a you that this was ep 3 of 10 so we got a ways to go yet... but ooof, what have we wrought, BL? (I ended up doing a whole post about the stepbrother trope because of this sub plot.) Taiwan is killing me.
Tumblr media
-- RANT ended --
Word of Honor (China) Ep 19-21 - over half way point so we got ALL the back story (in a classic 4 act story structure midway reveal). Now we know who WKX really is and his lineage. We also got some cute hugs and hand holds. Moving along at a nice clip despite being 36 eps total. Still gayest thing to come out of we-not-gay China since Advance Bravely. 
Most Peaceful Place (Vietnam) Ep 2 - takes them a while to get eng subs together and ep 2 didn’t drop until late. So I’m putting this in a Thurs time slot going forward. Miscommunication already cleared up and a 2nd couple has been introduced. The pacing on these Vietnamese BLs is always a bit... off. But it’s still better than most of its ilk, enjoyable. I’m thinking it’s a 6 ep arc. 
We Best Love 2 (Taiwan) Ep 5 - after the initial drama DRAMA of ep 2, the current external crisis at work is much quieter, giving this whole season a top heavy feel. Taken along side the first season, I think it’s fitting nicely into a 4 act structure, but that might be my bias. I hope I’m not wrong, we’ll find out next week. Shi De puttering about being domestic with Shu Yi on his back was the best execution of the piggyback trope EVER. Meanwhile, our little D/s side couple of codependency, salvation trope + mental illness is becoming weirdly appealing. I don’t know. H4 done mess with my head. 
Tumblr media
Stand Alones 
Absolute BL AKA Zettai BL ni Naru Sekai vs Zettai BL ni Naritakunai Otoko  (Japan) Ep 1-4 mini series. Found subs under A Man Who Defies The World of BL. IT’S HILARIOUS. It’s Japan making fun of us, but also itself for having started this whole BL nonsense - from yaoi roots to present day. It’s parody goddamn gold. Utterly cheeky unto the very last line. We are not worthy. 
Apparently the most powerful tropes of all time are: baby is a floppy drunk and the piggyback fo nobility. Oh and chocolate. {Full review here.} 
Honestly, this show may have been made with only @heretherebedork and I in mind. I don’t know if you’d even understand half of it if you don’t have a history with the manga source genre and an obsessive interest in underlying narrative devices. I haven’t seen much chatter in the blog’o’sphere on this one because, in the end, it’s not a romance at all, it’s social commentary. 
The ending line was a masterclass in lampooning a genre. I’m going to rewatch the whole thing just to catch all the digs I missed first time around. It is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. 
Thank you Japan. I forgive you all your hair-styling sins of the last decade. 
Tumblr media
Breaking News

Tumblr media
Gossip 
Bad Buddies released its first promo op via Arm Share, which means GMMTV is at least *thinking* about filming it. 
Fun behind the scenes gossip sesh with eng subs for Tell the World I Love You (that Perth Bas movie we are maybe getting someday but will likely be sad). 
Tumblr media
New Thai BL Bite Me (adapted from novel Grab a Bite) dropped a teaser. It stars Mark Siwat (Kla in LBC) as uke character Ake, a delivery boy with special foodie powers, and chef Eua (seme played by Zung Kidakorn) who discovers him. It’s from the same author as Manner of Death so we might even get some actual plot. Since it’s an established BL actor who I happen LOVE, a known author, and a plot about FOOD, I could not me more excited for this one. 
Tumblr media
Next Week Looks Like This:
Some shows may be listed a day later than actual air date for accessibility reasons. Some are dropping multiples at a time but just started so I’m not sure on numbering. 
Tumblr media
Upcoming 2021 BL master post here.

Comte de Saint-Germain x Vampire!MC (Slight) Fluff This work contains (slightly) suggestive content.
Whew!
Written for: Song Event Request: Anonymous Prompt: “Savage“ by Bahari
Content Warnings: blood, minor injury
––––––––––
Her fangs drawing against his pulse, her lower lip brushed against his neck, red smudges left in its path. “You’ve done it again, have you not?” she whispered, goosebumps emerging over his arms. His back pressed firmly against the chair as she straddled his lap, Comte gasped, her nibbles growing in intensity. “Isn’t it unbecoming for a man of your position to react like so? To desire me like so?” “My love, I am of the belief there are little things in this world more beautiful and worthy of desire than –” he cut of sharply, pressure increasing over his skin. “Than, Saint-Germain?” she hummed. “Than a decisive and assertive vampiress,” he finished, any words which could have followed dying in his throat, her fangs sinking into his shoulder as she drunk from him.
––––
Pleasant scent of tea rose from the cup, steam whirling above the rim as Saint-Germain tipped it, hot liquid washing down his throat. His eyes tracing the trails of words entailed by the volume, he flipped the page with this thumb, warm gusts of wind gently caressing his face with the scent of roses mixed with…
Blood.
Comte stood up immediately, his pupils narrowing, the smell growing in familiarity with each breath. A path of sorts nearly appearing in front of him, he followed it, his heart panging hard with each deep breath, both intoxicating and anxiety-inducing. The soles of his shoes clacking against the gravel, his steps both hurried and seemingly relaxed, Saint-Germain rushed towards what he assumed was the source of his worries, his lover standing with her back turned towards him, red spilling over her fingers as she clutched onto her hand. “My lady?” he asked, her eyes darting towards him. “Saint-Germain? I thought you were supposed to –” “I assure you, my foregoing plans are of little importance now. What happened?” he insisted, soon standing by her side, urging her to expose her injury before him. “Well, I might have been rather ill-advised when collecting the roses for the bouquet. I cut perhaps a bit too deep into –” she cut off sharply, his tongue darting over the edge of the wound, red covering his lips as their eyes met. Comte straightened his back. “I cannot allow for any of your blood to be wasted. Not even a single drop, my love.”
Tag List: @cheese-ception, @kisara-16, @nad-zeta, @rikumorimachisgirl @bestbryn If you want to be tagged under my future works, let me know (any way works)! ^^ Also, do remember to specify fandoms (and characters, if you are interested only in some) :D If it ever happens that you wish to be removed from my taglist, for any reason, do let me know.
