Summary: You and Harry attend a wedding together and he ends up getting very drunk.
Pairing: Boyfriend!Harry x Reader
Word count: 1,727
A/N: this was inspired by the photos we got today of Harry looking 👌🏼 at his cousins wedding. Hope you enjoy!
Tumblr media
“Do these shoes make my legs look too long? Like scarily long?” You said walking into the bathroom where Harry was standing in front of the mirror after just having had a shower while he was in nothing but a towel and fixing his hair.
His eyes darted from his head to your legs in the corner of the mirror and he smirked “absolutely not. I love your legs” he said coming over and kissing you as you ran your hand through his wet hair.
“I’m just not sure on the dress, what do you think?” You said flattening the front of the sage green silk dress out with your hands.
“You’d look better without it but for today, it’s perfect. You look stunning babe” he says smiling at you. You thanked him and went back through to your bedroom to do the finishing touches to your makeup while Harry got ready.
It was his cousin, Ben Selley’s wedding today and he had managed to get the day off so he could attend. You were looking forward to meeting more of Harry’s extended family; you had only met Anne & her partner and Gemma and her partner Michal since you and Harry had only been dating for 9 months, so you were excited to meet everyone.
10 minutes later, Harry walked into the bedroom and your jaw dropped.
“Stop. Wait. This isn’t right. You’re going to a wedding and you’re NOT wearing cream? Are you feeling okay babe?” You said jokingly putting your hand against his forehead to check his temperature. Harry always had a thing about wearing cream to a wedding, not white as he would make clear, but cream. It was odd to see him not in this colour for once.
He chuckled at your response to his outfit “thought I’d go for something more casual today” he said, showing off his fitted black suit and casual white tank top with his orange tinted glasses with thick black frame to complete the look.
“I certainly approve of it Mr Styles” you said admiring his outfit.
It was a short drive to the church where you saw lots of guests enter the building slowly. Harry’s mum said to meet outside and you could all sit together, and you immediately felt at ease when you seen her walking towards you.
“Don’t the pair of you scrub up well!” She said bringing you in for a kiss on the cheek to greet you.
You chuckled “thanks Anne, you look lovely” you told her, although Anne always looked flawless whether she was wearing a hoodie or a dress, you think that’s where Harry gets it from.
You said hello to Gemma and Michal and entered the church.
You were slightly nervous now at meeting everyone, although excited at the same time to see his cousin getting married.
The 6 of you took a seat in an aisle and immediately Harry got chatting to the people sitting in front.
“This is my girlfriend y/n, y/n these are my other cousins, Ryan and Hayley” he said introducing you to them.
“Hi lovely to meet you” you said and smiled at them. “Nice to meet you, we’ve heard lots about you. H doesn’t stop banging on about you when he’s home” Ryan teased.
“I mean wouldn’t you, look at her. She’s a stunner” Harry said and you blushed. Gemma leaned into you and whispered “you can tell who’s the more sociable one out of me and Harry can’t you” you laughed at her. Harry could have a conversation with a brick wall if he had to.
You chatted with Gemma and Anne a little until it was time for the ceremony. The bride looked absolutely beautiful, her flower girls were adorable and her bridesmaids looked amazing. You couldn’t wait until this was you one day.
“I now pronounce you, husband and wife” the celebrant said to officiate their marriage. You all clapped and Harry leaned in towards you “that’ll be us one day babe” you smiled at the thought and continued to clap for the happy couple.
Walking out of the church and waiting for the bride and groom to get their photos taken, you and Harry mingled with the other guests.
He introduced you to a few more of his family members, all of which made you feel very welcome. Harry was asked if he wouldn’t mind being in some photos for a couple of people who weren’t in the family, friends of the bride and groom more so who didn’t know him, and because he was in his happy place, surrounded by family, he was more than happy to oblige.
“Let me get one of you two!” Anne said as she took your phone out of your hand.
“Harry stand with y/n will you” she shouted to him as he was distracted by talking to someone else. He looked over and joined you at your side, wrapping his arm around your back and his hand falling onto your waist.
“Smile!” Anne said before taking the photo. She captured a few and admired them “you two are just the loveliest couple” she said handing you the phone back. You looked at it and smiled, Harry had a slight smile on his face in the picture but he looked genuinely happy.
“That’s my new lock screen I think” you told him as you walked together towards the reception area.
Luckily at the reception, you were sat at a table with Anne, Darren, Gemma and Michal again, with another 2 of the bride’s extended family. After the meal, Harry insisted on getting shots for the table. Whenever he was at a wedding, it was a tradition he started to always get a shot of tequila after the meal. It served no purpose other than getting him more drunk, more easily. He’d only had 3 pints at this stage but you could tell he was becoming tipsy as he was becoming more and more affectionate, sliding his hand up your thigh with you pushing it away as you’re sure another wedding guest saw him do it.
The bride and groom had their first dance before inviting everyone else up to the dance floor. You and Harry remained sitting at a table, now with some of his aunts and uncles talking about life, when suddenly you both heard the all too familiar main riff of “Man, I feel like a woman” playing to which you and Harry looked at each other.
“We can’t not” he said as he stood up, grabbing your hand to pull you up. “You gotta dance to Shania” he said and at this point in the night, you’d had a few wines and a few shots so you were feeling more than ready for a dance with your boyfriend now.
You chuckled as he led you up to the dance floor, him dad dancing as he made his way up.
“The best thing about being a woman, is the prerogative to have a little fun” you and Harry screamed out over the top of the music as you danced away together, him showing off some rather questionable moves but all in all, you were both having an amazing time.
You danced the whole night after that, with Harry buying everyone another tequila shot, and another and another.
It was 1am when you decided to call it a night, not only because you were done in, but because Harry’s bank account was being rinsed with the £1,200 he’d spent on shots alone that night for the whole wedding.
Luckily, you had booked a room in the hotel where the bride and groom had the reception party so it just meant having to help a very drunk Harry up the 3 flights of stairs. You knew he should have stopped after his 10th pint and 3rd tequila shot but 3 more pints and 4 shots later, Harry’s legs were failing to carry him up the stairs.
You were drunk yourself, giggling quietly as you helped to drag him up the stairs.
“Y/n” Harry would slur as he slowly made his way up the stairs. “Shhh” you would say as you passed the rooms of other guests who were probably sound asleep and didn’t want to be woken up by some 29 year old drunk man.
“Y/n, wwhen can we have a wedding?” He slurred. “Let’s get you in and we can talk about it” you said still trying to get him to the correct room.
“Y/n” he dragged out your name as he giggled “what?” You laughed back, you were almost in as much of a drunken state as he was.
“I love you baby. I love you so much”
“I love you too. But I’d love you even more if you were in the room so move your ass” you said slapping his bum which seemed to sober him up for a brief second and gain some speed as he made his way up the stairs.
After what seemed like forever, you two made it into the hotel room and collapsed on the bed. Harry had taken his suit jacket off at this point and was now lying in just his trousers and tank top with his hands above his head. God did he look good drunk.
You felt the side of your dress being pulled “Take this off” you heard Harry say to you.
“You take it off” you said to him. “Y/n, if I could I would. Please just take it off and-“ he trailed off mid sentence and you looked over to see him falling asleep on the bed.
You laughed at his drunken state and decided to call it a night. Taking your own dress off, you removed your makeup and went back through to see Harry in the same position you had left him.
You pulled out a bottle of water and sat it on his side of the bed because you were sure he would need it when he woke up in the morning. You took off his trousers and left him in his boxers and put the cover over him so he wasn’t too cold. You got in beside him and laid your leg over his thigh and rested your hand on his chest, feeling comforted as you felt his chest slowly rise and fall.
As you lay there, you reflected on the day and how comfortable his whole family made you feel. You couldn’t wait to become a real part of the Styles family.

So I edited some of the Lost In The Book With Stitch event with some headcanons
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I always headcanon Riddle being ftm transgender-nonbinary (he/they) and while his mother sucks and doesn't support she allowed him take top surgery just didn't give him the emotional support afterwards in a way of "If you're enough to make big decisions in your body than you're old enough to not ask for mummy's cuddles" kind of way
This event helped him the most finally find peace with himself, yeah he felt comfortable with himself after the surgery but for some reason he felt more free here with these people he wouldn't be on a vacation with in the start with this odd fluffy creature
I have a headcanon he has a tooth gap still growing from Ace's punch in chapter 1 that he secretly likes
He started collecting sea shells after this
Lots of freckles
Kind of realizes his crush on this trip, he had it for a while obviously but this made him realize "Oh shit-"
My sister says she can see Riddle's whole reaction to his crush on Floyd like Moana's poll to the ocean and I can see it
Tumblr media
Ftm transgender (I grew with that headcanon) and got his top surgery right before attending Night Raven Collage
Lots of freckles
Kind of wishes he stayed just cause he adored the feeling of being there so much
Knows now he would be a good dad
After this his mood with his friends became different, he became more chill and nicer to those he isn't too, even Riddle after they kind of talked things over by the water
Tumblr media
Has lots of scars over the years
Thanks to the Twitter @gay-salt-amber showed me, he had piercings and tattoos he hid for the sake of being a father and student, biggest tattoo is on the back of his thigh that was made in honor of one of the solders in his old Army who died
Nonbinary gremline
Sung with the ukulele during a beach campfire
He feels like he gets Stitch the most out of the whole cast
Vows to hopefully bring Silver and everyone else there
Lowkey wants more kids
Tumblr media
Literally almost cried when leaving
I always think the Octa-Trio get some traces of their merform, so the Leech twins has a teal-greenish undertone under their skin when that becomes visible when exposed to water and if you look closely their toes get webby kind of
LOTS OF FRECKLES
Has a tongue piercing he sometimes takes out
Had the most fun being in his dream element, especially when Azul and Riddle there!
So I know I didn't edit their cards cause they honestly didn't strike editing art on them but I'll add Jack and Azul!
Tumblr media
Really enjoyed the sudden change of pace and weather
Didn't like the beach life at first cause the salt water was knotting his furr and the sand did not help the idea, but he quickly grew adapting the idea of it and even enjoyed the knots and combing them out
After this he set up a vacation to the beach with his siblings
Fell in love with the scent of the beach
Tumblr media
Was super self conscious about taking his shirt and being in the water and wouldn't have done either if it weren't for Floyd threatening to throw him into the ocean and Grim's teasing
Calmed down after a while and relaxed enough to just enjoy everything
Let his merform out during the night when it's too dark to see when Floyd joined in, did the same, and Riddle joined it but wasn't scared which amazed and calmed him more
Got inspired for profit but just inspired in general as he spend those days enjoying everything all together, swimming in the water, eating food, running and rolling in the sand
He also has freckles but they're small and light
Because of his bright mood after he was extra nice which freaked people out
He surprised the Leech twins with a dish of their favorite foods but didn't tell them how he managed to cook that stuff being he's, well, a octopus merman
Doesn't believe in gender but doesn't want to think about his own
Lowkey wants kids now
They all got closer after the whole thing
They all shared things of their pasts, with choices of being vague to some parts and areas for obvious reasons on Azul's and Lilia's part
As soon as Yuu mentioned a store that sold Stitch plushes, they got one right away
Lots of lowkey romantic tensions for whoever you want to say, Riddle x Floyd, your favorite ship, any of the cast with Yuu/You
They visit the Mostro Lounge every time they have free time or after a dorm head meeting, bring along people from their dorms as well
And in tradition of every Twst event so far, there's a playlist I made

Some end of year mush for my readers
Below is a longer message that’s more personal so I’ll hide that below the cut for anyone who’s not interested. But before I get to that I just wanted to send a message to all of those who have read my fics this past year. You’re often a bit more anonymous to me than the people I count as friends, but that’s only because I don’t know you yet (seriously, come yell in my inbox, that’s how all friendships here start!).
But I see you all, whether you’re liking your way through 300k+ words of The Pilot and his Girl or just randomly reblogging something short I wrote back in March, I see and appreciate you all. I love hearing what you think about what you’ve read, but if you’re more comfortable just reblogging or liking, that’s more than fine. But I do really notice and appreciate all of you who read and react what I publish. I hope my stories bring a little bit of entertainment and distraction from whatever else your life is. The responses you’ve all given me, it really means the world. Love you all ❤
/M
So to the more personal message.
I want to send a little message out (who am I kidding, I’m unable to keep things short) at the end of the year and tell you all what a difference some things make. But first, to be honest, I haven’t had a very difficult year, I’m ridiculously privileged, and I try to remember and appreciate that. I count my blessings because life hasn’t always been this easy. But I think it makes me notice the difference small actions make, how one act of kindness really creates ripple effects. 
I know others have had very real struggles in 2023 and have overcome, or are still struggling with, real issues and this year has given me the opportunity to see how much of a difference a small online community can make. I appreciate and love everyone of you who has had the guts to open up when things are tough and ask for help, who opened their (digital) arms and inboxes and wanted to help, genuinely help, those who were struggling, by sending a friendly message, by understanding and responding, offering to help, to let them know that they’re not alone. And to let us all have a safe space online where we can be as weird and sad and irrational and deluded (and horny) as we want. 
I know all fandoms have drama but the amount of nice people I’ve met on Tumblr this year by far outweighs any drama. For 99.9% of us, Pedro should be so lucky to have us as his fans! I feel like the goodness that he seems to spread, is emulated among those who go slightly feral (in the best possible way) for him. 
I’ve been fortunate enough to have made a small group of friends this year in the fandom, and these past few months with you guys (you know who you are), have been the best. You’ve made me laugh and cry (and stress out over how the hell I’m supposed to read all of your amazing fics!). I’m constantly amazed by how supportive and kind you are, how, by pure chance, we all stumbled into each other's paths at just the right time and how we now just seem to fit together. Whether it’s about how we’re going to survive the release of Gladiator 2 (seriously, we’re going to need a phone chain or something for welfare checks….) or how to handle any number of just “life” things that we all have to combat. You lot are always there with sage advice, supportive words and encouragement in a way I’ve never experienced with a group of friends before. Seriously, you’re all the best and I’m so happy to be your friend. 
And here's my our sweet Pedro just because this man somehow inspired me to write so many words this year...

Honeymoon Knight / Chapter 7 - The Ideal Bouquet
Prev | All | Next
~ After a while ~
Having enjoyed a graceful tea time, we left the garden and decided to explore the town.
Tumblr media
[Rosetown]
Ammon: "This town is still lovely as ever. Being able to tour it with the lord again… I'm really lucky ♪"
> "I'm glad to be here again as well"
Fennesz: "Fufu… Yes, it's a good thing, Ammon."
Haures: "Last time, when we came here... we toured the town with the second-floor butlers and the lord."
> "Yes, that's right"
Fennesz: "Ammon asked us how many roses we'd give if we were to present them to the lord... Haures was the only one unaware of the significance and made a bold statement."
Ammon: "He didn't even realize it himself."
Haures: "Hey, stop bringing up that story, you two. Well, after that, I understood the meaning properly... and felt embarrassed that there was such a significance.”
Boschi: "Your way of seeing things is really out of the norm. Most people would've figured it out right away."
Haures: "However, I won't make such a mistake again. Since then, I've been studying the meanings of flowers and the significance of the numbers. Of course, I might not be as knowledgeable as Ammon, but I've gained some knowledge."
Fennesz: "Indeed, Ammon organized it... a study session with the second-floor butlers."
Muu: "Wow, so you study together!"
Ammon: "It was a good opportunity, after all!"
Muu: "Did Mr. Boschi participate too?"
Boschi: "Hey, Muu. What do you mean by that?"
Muu: “I-it's nothing!”
Ammon: "Anyway... since we came to this town related to flowers today, it would be nice if the knowledge we gained could be put to use."
Fennesz: "That's right."
Muu: "Um, speaking of flowers... I just remembered. The outfits you all are wearing have white roses, right? I think last year's outfits had lilies."
Haures: "Hmm... right. Now that you mention it, the goddess associated with June brides… has the lily flower as her symbol."
Boschi: "Yeah, the goddess of marriage, ‘Juno’. Although, there are various theories about the origin of June brides."
Fennesz: "By the way, Ammon... roses also have a story related to a goddess, don't they?"
Ammon: "Yes, they do. It's the story of the goddess of beauty and a rose."
Muu: "Wow! What kind of story is it?"
Ammon: "Hmm... this story isn't a cheerful one."
> "Is that so?"
Ammon: "Yes. The goddess had a lover, but during a hunting trip, the lover got injured. At that moment, the goddess ran to her lover barefoot, and she ended up injuring her foot. The blood she shed... turned the white roses red, and that's the story."
> "It's beautiful but also a bit sad…"
Muu: "Uuh... the goddess must have been in pain..."
Boschi: "Well, the goddess's blood doesn't have anything to do with the white roses on our outfits."
Haures: "Hmm... speaking of which, at Velis' party venue, there were many white roses used."
Ammon: "Ah, that's... apparently from the request of the heir candidate. Based on what I mentioned earlier, inspired by the goddess's story, he wants to express feelings like 'I won't let you dye the roses red, I won't let you get hurt.’ ‘Even if you're hurt, I want to stay close to you.'... or something like that.  By the way, this heir candidate... even at the wedding, he gave his bride a bouquet of white roses."
Fennesz: "A-amazing... If it were me, I might not be able to do something like that."
Muu: "Then, Mr. Fennesz, what kind of bouquet would you give at your wedding?"
Fennesz: "Huh!? Th-that's so sudden..."
Muu: "I'm curious about what kind of flower you'd choose!"
> “I might be curious too…"
Tumblr media
Fennesz: “E-even you, my lord…”
Ammon: “The lord has spoken, Mr. Fennesz… go ahead, tell us.”
Fennesz: "Uh… Fine… But if I'm sharing mine, you all have to share yours too, alright?”
Boschi: “So, Fennesz, what kind of bouquet would you give to your partner at your wedding?”
Fennesz: “I-if I were to give a bouquet to my partner... it would be a pink rose bouquet, I guess..."
Ammon: "Oh~ interesting… That suits you, Mr. Fennesz."
Haures: "Hmm... what's the meaning of pink roses again…?"
Boschi: "There are various meanings for flower, and the intensity of the color can also change the meaning."
Ammon: "Huh~ Mr. Boschi, you remember quite well~”
Boschi: "Good grief... it's because you kept forcing it onto me. I ended up remembering it."
Ammon: "Ahaha, that's right. Well then, Mr. Fennesz…! What's the flower meaning you'd like to express to your partner?"
Fennesz: "I-it's... 'Warmth.'  I'd like to express warmth with the bouquet."
> "That's wonderful and feels just like you, Fennesz"
Fennesz: "Huh! R-really?"
> "Yes, it shows your kindness"
Fennesz: “M-my lord… thank you very much.”
Boschi: "Kuku… Fennesz is genuinely blushing."
Fennesz: "Stop teasing me, Boschi."
Ammon: "Alright, Mr. Haures, your turn!"
Haures: “M-me?"
> "Yes, tell us, Haures"
Haures: "U-understood… um… right… I want to include rose hips, not as the main flower, but as an addition to the bouquet…"
> "Rose hips?"
Haures: "Yes. The flower language of rose hips is 'Sincerity' and 'Sense of Justice.' By giving this bouquet... I want to pledge a lifetime of love and sincerity to my partner. To protect and cherish my partner for a lifetime... that's the feeling I want to convey. The rose hips, in particular, would symbolize that sincerity."
Muu: "Wow, Mr. Haures! That sounds very cool!"
> "It suits you perfectly, Haures"
Haures: "Fufu… Thank you very much, my lord. Now, Boschi, it's your turn."
Boschi: "......... Hm... for the bouquet I'd give at my wedding, I guess it would be... white baby's breath."
Ammon: "White baby's breath? Surprisingly cute choice, Mr. Boschi."
Fennesz: "Fufu… When you gather a lot and make a bouquet, it becomes fluffy and cute. So, Boschi... why did you choose baby's breaths?"
Boschi: "The flower language of baby's breaths is... 'Gratitude' and 'Happiness.' It's natural to express gratitude to your partner, who you'll spend your whole life with. Of course, making your partner happy is also important.  Marriage is about thanking each other and promising to make each other happy. That's why I chose baby's breaths."
> "That's a wonderful perspective, Boschi"
Boschi: "Heh, if the lord likes it, then it's fine. Now, Ammon, don't drag this out. It's your turn."
Ammon: "Hehe, of course ♪ For the bouquet I'd give at my wedding... First, I'd begin with roses…”
Haures: “Hm…? 'begin’...?”
Ammon: “For the June Bride's feels, some Lilies... Then, white Aster, and a touch of Ivy for contrast. What else..."
Fennesz: "Wait, Ammon... how many different types of flowers are you planning to include?"
Ammon: "Huh~? Well, bouquets are made with multiple flowers, right? And besides... no one said the bouquet's flowers have to be the same type."
Muu: "True..."
Boschi: "You've got a point."
Ammon: "By the way, the flower language of White Aster is 'Happy Love'."
> " ‘Happy love’..."
*Close-up*
Ammon: "My lord... do you want this flower language from me?"
> "Huh?"
Haures: "Hey, Ammon... don't trouble the lord."
Ammon: "Alright… I get it. I just wanted to tease the lord a bit."
> "Ammon..."
Muu: “Fufu ♪ Everyone's stories about the bouquets were really nice! Right, my lord?"
> “That's right” > “It was wonderful"
At that moment, cheers could be heard from the other side of the street.
Cheers: "Congratulations~! We wish you two happiness~!"
Muu: "Oh? The street over there seems lively."
> "It looks like it"
Haures: "Hmm... come to think of it... there should be a large church nearby."
Fennesz: "I see... maybe there's a wedding ceremony happening now."
Ammon: "Ah, right! Since we're here… why don't we go to the front of the church? Rosetown's wedding ceremonies are a bit interesting, you know."
> "Is that so?"
Ammon: "Yes. Just passing by the front of the church can be enjoyable, I think."
Muu: "Wow! Now I'm curious!"
> "Me too"
Fennesz: "Fufu... well then, shall we go and take a look?"
And so, we headed towards the nearby church.
note: Haures answered with 100 roses. He meant it as 100% trust and loyalty. But it means 100% love.
Other answers: Boschi: 21 (I'm dedicated to you / I'll do anything for you only) Fennesz: 9 (eternal love / please be with me always / I want to be with you forever) Ammon: 365 (I miss you every day)

Funnel of Love (Austin!Elvis x Plus Size!Reader)
Tumblr media
Summary: Your well-meaning friends convince you to go to the county fair with them. You’re not sure you’ll have a good time, until you find out your friend Elvis will be there on one of his rare weekends off from touring. As the night goes on, you finally realize that he wants to be more than friends.
Note: This is based on an anonymous request. The reader is plus size and a woman, but no other specific descriptors are used. Inspired by the Wanda Jackson song (also Wanda and Elvis toured together [and dated!] early on in their careers, and he convinced her to switch from singing country to the rockabilly she became best known for. Her version of ‘Let’s Have a Party’ is also in Dead Poets Society. I’m a huge fan of hers but I’ll stop now lol). Do not interact if you are under 18 or post ED/thinspo content.
Word count: 2.3k
Warnings: None.
If you were being honest, you felt as though you were a little too old to be spending a Saturday night at the county fair with your friends. Yet, after unsuccessfully trying to convince them to go to one of Memphis’ many nightclubs instead, you found yourself squeezed in your friend Tina’s boyfriend’s car with half a dozen other people on the short drive to the fairgrounds from Tina’s place.
The car was starting to feel claustrophobic in the fifteen minutes it took to get to the fair, and you didn’t hesitate to jump out as soon as it was parked, barely paying attention to Tina mentioning that a few other friends were meeting you there. She rattled off a handful of names, and you perked up when she mentioned Elvis, since you hadn’t seen him in a few weeks.
It always amazed you how the otherwise unassuming field that served as the county fairgrounds could be transformed into something so unrecognizable and almost magical. Okay, so maybe you weren’t too old for the fair, the scent of fried food and sound of the carnival rides bringing back nostalgic memories. It still wasn’t at the top of the list for how you wanted to spend your Saturday night.
As soon as you and your friends approached the entrance to the fair, you saw Elvis waiting by the ticket booth with Scotty and Bill. You didn’t see much of them on the weekends anymore since they were busy touring. Sometimes Elvis would call or write to you while he was on the road, and you thought it was nice of him to keep in touch. You heard rumblings among your friends about Elvis’ recording contract getting picked up by RCA, but you wanted to hear the news from the man himself.
“You didn’t tell me Y/N was gonna be here,” Elvis hissed at Bill, trying to find some reflective surface to check his hair as you approached.
Bill merely snickered in response at his friend’s reaction to seeing you. Everyone knew Elvis had a thing for you, well, everyone except you, apparently. You were either too oblivious or too stubborn to realize it, and unfortunately Elvis took this to mean you weren’t interested, though he still pined after you. He knew the Colonel said that appearing to be available to fans would help his career, but he couldn’t help how his stomach flipped whenever he was around you.
“Y/N, you look great,” Elvis said, immediately wanting to smack himself upside the head for not coming up with something better to say.
To his relief, your pretty face lit up at the compliment. “Thanks, you too.”
Elvis hung around you while you all ambled around the fairgrounds, checking out the rides and stopping to get food every so often. After about half an hour, you all decided to split up to go on the rides and play the games you wanted to, and then to meet up by the ferris wheel before the fair was over to head home together. As it turned out, you and Elvis ended up being your own group of two. Not that you minded, you always enjoyed Elvis’ company.
You knew you were probably exhausting him with questions about life on the road, but the thought of traveling as much as he did fascinated you. Still, he regaled you with stories of roaring crowds and being run out of towns you’d never even heard of before. When he asked you questions about your job, you had no problem telling him your own stories about the crazy customers you encountered at the shop you worked in. 
The two of you meandered for some time, watching people play some of the games that were set up at the fair. You smiled when a man won a large teddy bear for his date, who accepted with a laugh at how it was almost as big as she was. Elvis didn’t miss your reaction to the exchange. It couldn’t be that hard to win you a prize and make you smile like that.
“C’mon, I’m gonna win you somethin’,” he said, pulling you over to the balloon darts game. 
The back of the stall was covered in balloons of various colors, but to win a prize, you needed to pop at least two of the same color balloon. For a dime, you could get three darts, winning one of the larger prizes for popping three same-colored balloons. You and Elvis quickly realized that this was easier said than done as seventy cents later, he’d been unsuccessful.
“I think it’d just be cheaper to go to the store and buy one at this point,” you said.
He looked at you, determination in his eyes as he placed another dime on the counter. “Three more darts.”
To your shock and delight, he popped two of the three balloons necessary to win a prize, seemingly with ease this time. He picked out a medium-sized brown teddy bear with a heart in its hands and proudly gave it to you. 
“This is too cute, thank you,” you smiled, giving him a kiss on the cheek.
He beamed, throwing his arm around your shoulder. “I told ya I’d win you somethin’.”
You did have to talk him out of trying the ring toss game next, saying that you wouldn’t be able to carry more prizes through the fairgrounds for the rest of the night. He only agreed once you promised that you’d left him win you an even bigger prize before you left. 
The two of you shared cotton candy next to the merry-go-round, and you tried not to get any of it on your bear. You finally asked him about whether the rumors about his contract with Sun Records being sold to RCA was true, and he said that while it wasn’t official yet, his manager was working out the details. He figured it was only a matter of a few days. You were in the middle of congratulating him when you were interrupted by a nervous voice.
“I’m so sorry to bother you, but could you sign this for me?” a girl asked, her hand shaking as she held out a clean napkin and a pen. “I’m such a big fan.”
“‘Course, sweetheart,” Elvis answered with a smile. 
He leaned against one of the food stalls to sign the napkin. Elvis was getting recognized more and more wherever he went, making it difficult to go many places with him, but you admired how dedicated he was to his fans, not hesitating to return their devotion to him. You’d heard of people meeting their favorite singers or movie stars and having horrible experiences, but Elvis made sure that was never the case for them.
“You’re so lucky,” the girl sighed.
“Oh, we’re just friends,” you clarified.
She gave you an odd expression as she looked at the teddy bear in your hand. Just before she could respond, Elvis handed her the now autographed napkin and the pen back, winking at her.
“Have a good rest of your night, darlin’,” Elvis said.
She nodded, a wide smile on her face. “Thank you!”
You watched as she ran back over to her friends, who all squealed and giggled upon seeing that she’d gotten his autograph. 
“Sorry ‘bout that,” he said bashfully.
“It’s alright,” you said. “Do you know where everyone else is?”
“I think I saw them at the scrambler, but I know Tina said somethin’ about bumper cars.”
You rolled your eyes. You weren’t ashamed of being plus size by any means and knew it didn’t matter to your friends, but it frustrated you when they seemed to forget that not everything was as accessible to you as it was to them. You were still having a good time at the fair, despite your hesitance to even go in the first place. If anything, you felt bad that Elvis was spending the night dropping money on rigged games and cotton candy for you instead of going on rollercoasters and ferris wheels. 
When you and Elvis started walking around again, he kept his arm around your waist this time, holding you close to him, squeezing your side every so often. You supposed it was so you wouldn't get separated in the crowd of people, which had only grown as the night went on. He seemed a bit dazed, though, and at one point, he walked directly into someone, apologizing profusely before moving you in a different direction.
“You alright?” you asked.
“Yeah, sorry. I got distracted. The lights make your eyes look like stars,” he whispered.
You were taken aback by his comment. “I—thanks.”
“Earlier, when I said you look great, I meant to say you look beautiful. You always do.”
Still shocked and unsure of how to respond, you quietly thanked him again. You had never let yourself think of Elvis romantically before. You’d been friends for a long time, so you just assumed you weren’t his type, especially since you didn’t look like any of his past girlfriends. As you pondered this sudden shift in your relationship with him, the two of you walked a few feet more in comfortable silence until coming across a large rainbow wheel covered in lights. 
“Young lady with the teddy bear!” the carnival barker called out. “How would you like to step up and spin the wheel of wonder? Free of charge!”
“Yes, she wants to,” Elvis said, volunteering you to spin the wheel.
You gave Elvis a playful glare as you handed him the teddy bear he’d won you.
The man waved you forward, and you spun the wheel with some enthusiasm, standing next to Elvis as you watched it spin and spin and spin, until finally stopping at—
“Complimentary tickets to the tunnel of love!” the man announced, grabbing the two ride tickets in question. “An appropriate prize for the lovely couple.”
You had no time to correct him before Elvis took the tickets, thanking the man. He looked pleased as he gave you the teddy bear back, until he noticed your expression didn’t match his.
“If you don’t want to go on it, we don’t have to.”
“We should do it. We haven’t gone on any rides tonight,” you said, trying to convince yourself that there was any way to go on the tunnel of love as just friends.
“You sure?” Elvis asked with a smile.
You nodded. “I’m sure.”
His excitement was contagious as he took your hand in his, running over to the tunnel of love, the giant, neon red heart atop the ride acting as a guiding star while the two of you weaved through the other fair-goers to the ride.
The tunnel of love looked like a giant Valentine’s Day card, covered in pink, red, and gold paint. The wooden cut-out of a cupid that pointed to the ride had the paint chipped off, but the big heart-shaped entrance was cute. A soft melody played inside, and Elvis handed the tickets to the woman operating the ride. She pulled back a lever, and a pink cart with faded red hearts all over it chugged forward on the metal tracks. 
You and Elvis got into the cart, somewhat of a tight squeeze, you observed to yourself. The woman pulled the lever again, and the cart jolted forward into the darkness of the tunnel, which was soon illuminated by red and pink glowing lights. Various wooden cut-outs popped out every now and then. It was corny, but it had its charm.
“Sorry,” you whispered, noticing your thigh pressing against Elvis’ in the close space of the cart.
“You’re fine, darlin’, really,” he assured you, hoping you couldn’t hear his heart racing at being so close to you. 
The next few moments or so of the ride was spent in awkward silence, and you sighed, suddenly feeling acutely aware of what ride you were actually on with him. 
“I’m sorry if you’re not having a good time,” Elvis said.
You shook your head. “No, I just feel bad you got stuck with me and didn’t get to go on the other rides.”
“What? Y/N, I wanted to be with you. I asked everyone else to go on to those other rides so I could spend the night alone with you—not like that—I just mean, I like you a lot,” he confessed. 
You giggled, hiding your face in the teddy bear he’d won you. All this time you thought he was just being nice to you; you didn’t even want to think about how many other times you’d completely missed him flirting with you. If your friends already knew Elvis was going to be at the county fair, you figured them dragging you along despite your clear reluctance was their weird way of being your wingmen.
“I hope you’re not laughin’ at me,” he said.
Quickly, you lifted your head, shaking it. “No, Elvis, I promise I’m not. I’m just embarrassed I didn’t notice sooner.”
“I guess that’s on me for not makin’ a move sooner.”
“Then do it.”
“Do what?”
“Make a move.”
He smiled, placing one hand on your thigh and the other on your cheek. His eyes fell to your lips, and he kissed you softly, sweetly, and you felt like you were in a movie as the romantic music played and warm lights glowed. Oh, this was why people liked going in here. As you kissed him back, he pulled you closer, and you had no other option than to practically sit on his lap.
The two of you were so engrossed in the kiss that you hadn’t noticed the ride stopped until the ride operator cleared her throat. You and Elvis awkwardly got out of the cart, but you smiled when you heard someone waiting in line utter, “Is that Elvis Presley?” 
The man himself was practically glued to you as he led you through to the ride’s exit. Going back to the chaos of the fair was jarring, to say the least, but it wouldn’t stay that way for long.
“I wouldn’t be opposed to goin’ through there again,” he grinned, brushing his thumb over your smudged lipstick.
“Me either.”

I love the work you’re doing with your blog, bringing back older posts and spreading the Literati love 🧡 And your meta posts are so insightful! Would love to hear how you got into the ship, if you feel like sharing 😊
Thank you so much, that is so kind!
I'm fairly new to Gilmore Girls in general and started casually watching a few years ago because my sister (also a Literati shipper) recommended it. I think the first episode I saw was "There's the Rub," and I was drawn in by the generational dynamics right away. It is tough for me to precisely remember first impressions in hindsight, but I didn't particularly care for Dean or Jess as love interests for Rory. My sister said maybe I'd like Logan, but I wasn't convinced on him either. Then Jess's Season 6 appearances endeared him to me a lot more, and he became my reluctant favorite of the three boyfriends. It is a huge testament to Rory's character that she didn't know what Jess would accomplish in the future, and she believed in him right away despite most of the people she trusted disliking him!
Last year is when I really got into shipping Literati. In the classic love triangle setup with a nice, dependable character and an adventurous, brooding character, I am typically inclined to sympathize with the former archetype, but the character arcs of Dean and Jess ultimately defy those categories in interesting ways. Rewatching made me notice more details about how much teenage Jess was struggling, and I really grew attached to him and his relationships with Luke and Rory. I lurked around the Gilmore Girls subreddit for a while and saw so much animosity toward Jess. Even though he's of course fictional, it was still frustrating to see all that directed at a kid who was dealing with a lot, and it made me even more protective of him.
Then I came across a few Literati-focused Tumblr blogs and saw the interest in themes/subtext/symbolism/character motivations and the amazing fan art and GIFs (like yours!) on here. Seeing multiple posts about other people not having a penchant for the subreddit discussions was quite validating. It was an "I've found my people!" revelation, and I've really enjoyed looking through blog archives. There's so many great older posts!
What compels me with Literati, far more than the debates over who was the "best" boyfriend (what does that even mean?), is how narratively rich their story is. It starts and ends with Jess looking at Rory through a window (if the frame around her picture on the mantle counts as a window). In the first and last episodes where they interact, they show each other something they've written because they were inspired by the other person. As this video lays out so artfully, they went through parallel challenges in their lives and helped each other find the strength to work through them (including by writing a book). Then there's all of the intriguing visual cues and emotional depth and period drama reminiscent scenes. Two bookish characters being portrayed in such a poetic way is so fascinating.
Ships that don't get a conventional happy ending are often captivating because there's so many questions to ask and alternative scenarios to imagine. There are a lot of tragic romance elements to Literati, and the angst is certainly not lacking, but the neat thing is that at the end of the official narrative, both characters are alive and on good terms with each other, and it's implied that maybe their story isn't over. The last words of dialogue they exchange mark a beginning of sorts (it's what this blog is named after). How many doomed romances end up with something that positive? I do like to think that Rory and Jess end up together for good after AYITL, but after everything that happened when they were younger, just the fact that they are friends as adults and are so encouraging of each other is a beautiful thing in its own right.
Thank you for the ask!

SPOILERS!!!!!
SPOILERS!!!!!
SPOILERS!!!!!
SPOILERS!!!!!
I wanna talk about this show (btw pls watch it, it's so fucking good, the characters are peak and the animation is fucking amazing!):
Tumblr media
Episode 1:
-I can't believe they foreshadowed the final boss with fucking Sonic trivia
-Ngl if I asked out a girl and she didn't know anything about neither Sonic or X-Men, I'm dipping the first chance I get
-I was wondering why Scott had the star t-shirt at the beginning, since he only got that at the finale battle with Gideon, to signify his love for Ramona, but with the added context it's not supposed to matter, it's there because it's his most recognizable look
-Matthew's entrance doesn't have the same umph as the movie's. His actor really went all out in that scene, XD
-Sucks that Scott wasn't very involved in this, since he is the title character, but I still loved everything about this. Hope we get to see his arc in the next season
Episode 2:
-Why is Ramona dyeing her hair so damn satisfying?
-Edit: The fact that STEPHEN of all people was the one that gave Scott a euology and was the only one that actually gave a damn XD
And it's pretty sweet that he would have been ok to find out if they sucked, if they found out they sucked together
-"Mommy!" yeah
-I can fucking believe she actually sang that fucking song XD
-Brie Larston is so talented; if I didn't already know she played Envy, I honestly could not tell that was her, but then again I only know her as Captain Marvel, where she has a deeper and much cooler voice
-So, if in the Scott Pilgrim world people just re-spawn at home after being defeated, does that mean that there no one can be murdered or manslaughtered? And if so, how do people actually get a "permanent game over"? Does everyone just die of old age? Also if people bury the coins dropped after someone dies, would that make grave-robbing the most common crime in the world?
-The fact that all Matthew needed to defeat Gideon was confidence is actually very inspiring. The probable reason why he's so extra (besides being a theater kid) is because Ramona dumped him, which really hurt his self-esteem. And while it's kinda sad and pathetic to let a middle school break-up bring down your self-worth, that doesn't mean it didn't suck for Matthew; and after realizing that Ramona wouldn't take him back just because he beat Scott, he finally got a reality check and decided that their goal was pointless, so he moved on from Ramona and decided to make something out of himself, and using the confidence he got from "beating" Scott, he unleashed his true power and was able to defeat Gideon, take his company, and then became successful Broadway actor
-"Et tu, eat me." Roxie is a fucking queen
Episode 3:
-Hey, I didn't asked to be fucking attacked about my writting process, Scott Pilgrim!
-Knives getting more character development besides being obsessed with Scott is everything I didn't know I ever wanted
-I feel you Stephen, I do 😞
-Omg I ship Knives and Kim so much!
-Since Roxie predates Toga, then should be saying that Toga gives off Roxie vibes?
Tumblr media
-I'm in lesbians with all of them
-Roxie is so fucking horny lol. Tho I can't blame her, I would go rent to that video store everyday to talk to Kim or Hollie... and immediately choke and explode before a word comes out my mouth
-Also, fun fact: Hollie looks like a milf, but she's actually 26!
-Nice of that lady to apologize to Robot-01. He doesn't deserve all the mistreatment he gets, he's a good boi
Episode 4:
-Holy fuck this animation
-Bro, what is that song? XD
-'Edgar Wrong' XD XD XD
-Young Neil is a fucking treasure
Tumblr media
💚 :3
-Straight Wallace is an anomaly that should not be allowed to exist
-Notorious heterosexual
-People are 100% saying some bullshit like, Lucas is only going out with her because he's secretly a pedo is only likes her because she's PLAYING a 17-year-old and that feeds his fetish
-Already saw a meme of the "My God!" clip, keep those coming people!
-Holy fuck this animation!!
-The paparazzi looking like cockroaches, nice
-I feel really bad for Lucas, he's actually a nice guy
-And then he fucking yeets a kid and steals his skateboard XD
-"Watch out guys, Vegan comin' through!"
Episode 5:
-I feel a little bad for Todd, but it's also so satisfying seeing this jackass, who thinks he can get away with anything because he's a rock star, get wrecked
-Weird the Vegan Police didn't show up to take away his powers tho; maybe they were informed of the situation and decided to give him a pass this time.
I really hope they expand on the whole concept of being Vegan in season 2
-Edit:
Envy: Hey, ask them what it feels like to always get his sloppy seconds?
Ramona: How does it feel-?
-I love how they expanded on the Stephen & Knives friendship :3
-I did not recognize Simon Pegg and Nick Frost until the end where they had the cornettos XD
Episode 6:
-Honestly, surprised they didn't bring up that Julie had a crush on Scott, and that's why she's always a bitch to him, specially because this is an anime, they can actually call her a tsundere!
And while we're on that, anyone think it's weird that nearly single girl in the comic had or still has a crush on Scott? Like, seriously? This asshole, really? And you just know that if it was a manga made in Japan, Stacie would have a goddamn bro-con complex with him
-Idk how I feel about them just glossing over Gideon just being an absolute monster; like yeah, Ramona was a bitch with most of her relationships and she does tend to run away from her problems, but Gideon was a manipulative, ego-centric, abusive piece of shit. I mean, the guy kept his 6 ex-girlfriends frozen in stasis for appearences or for whatever else he wanted, and he wanted to do the same to Ramona. I like him and Julie being assholes together, but seriously, I hope they touch on that in season 2
-Dude fuck those kids, I would give Gordon so much respect for actually trying that; I wish I had a third of his confidence
-I never knew I needed to see Captain America and The Spot being goofy friends until now
-I headcanon that one of the reasons why they had Matthew take over Gideon's company was so they could finally give him a job XD, tho it was always insinuated that he was in the army, because of the Private Rank patch on his jacket, which they removed in this version and that really sucka because I liked that little detail; it was also another reference to him being the 1st Evil Ex, because Private is the 1st rank in the military
-At least Ramona does recognize that what she did was messed up, even if the Twins were also being dicks, she should have just called them both out and be done with them
-Those fucking Vegan Robots man, I swear to God
Episode 7:
-When Old Scott spoke, I thought it was Ben Schwartz at first lol
-I love how the world isn't the cliché "terrible post apocalyptic world caused by something that happened to the main character", it just looks really crappy, which... yeah, accurate; the look everyone has just seems to be the current fad, they just embraced the post-apocalyptic looking world they live in.
Also that tech is not that advanced, they have hover vehicles and board, and holo-phones, that does seem like they kind of tech we could have in a few decades, maybe
-The fucking Virtual Boy XD XD XD, surprised Scott's eyes weren't on fire after staring into that thing
-Old Wallace is a fucking GILF
-That lucky motherfucker! He probably got the Switch for free!! 😬😬😬
-Nice Death Stranding reference
-Ramona changing her hair color every week was symbolic of her always running away from her problems, but I like that she keeps doing it in the future, just because she likes it
-Of course Future Ramona has fucking Back To The Future roller blades XD
-Both Ramonas are the same fucking size XD
-At first it felt that they just speedran Scott and Knives, but then again Scott probably read a little of Old Young Neil's auto-biography and figured things out. And since Knives wasn't as obsessed with Scott at this point it makes sense that she'd take this a lot better, Kim and Stephen probably helped her out too
-But at least she catharsis by seeing Scott and Ramona not being able to kiss XD
-Oh! And I just realized that she didn't waste her first kiss on Scott! 😃
Good for her!!
Episode 8:
-I think it's dumb they gave Knives her look from the comics without any reason. She only changed her look to look more appealing to Scott in the comics, and in the epilogue she's back to her normal look, like, at least have people mention the look and her saying that she's trying something new
Edit: I rewatched the whole thing and I just realized that Even Older Scott punched the highlights out of Knives' hair XD
-It's basically a meme at this point, but pls have the Katayanagi Twins do something! They had such a bigger role in the comics. At least I wanted to see their combo moves animated!
It's nice that the Exes are actually cheering for them to kiss, or maybe they're just teasing because they can't; either way it's nice
-Even Older Scott is Ramona's 8th evil ex. He debuts in the 8th episode and has studied the powers of all the other 7 Evil Exes along with his own, which adds up to 8.
Tumblr media
Sucks he didn't actually use their powers, I would have loved it if he used Vegan Powers combined with mystical powers, maybe instead of Demon Hipster Chicks he summons little Nega Scotts, he has stronger skateboard tricks than Lucas, he some robot arms that can shoot lasers and can help him do the Twins' combo moves, but doubled
-Edit: The fact that Knives went for Ramona instead of Scott. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!!!!
-Even Older (Nega) Scott is just Evil Ryu and I fucking love it!!
-Even Older Scott's color scheme not only signifyes just how jaded and lost he's become, but also that Nega Scott has completely taken him over is just *chef's kiss*
-Edit: Todd still has the Wallace tattoo XD also his was my favorite attack, he just teleports and slams down, simple, but awesome
Also Even Older Scott defeated him with a headbutt
-Edit: It would've been funny if he had also punched Roxie in the boob again
-Every future character has "Old" in their name, but Ramona is just "Future Ramona", she will cut you if you call her old. Real missed opportunity to not call the oldest Ramona "Future Future Ramona".
"MILF" and "GILF Ramona" also would have been acceptable
-Sex Bob-Bomb became the new Crash and the Boys, except that instead of having an 8-year-old, they have a 17-year-old.
And Scott now has his actual girlfriend watching him perform
-Looks like Ramona actually enjoyed the stunt double gig. Good for her, tho honestly, she should have stuck with Netflix, Idk why, but I feel like they're gonna blow up at somepoint
-I like the idea of Lucas x Kim, but I would still prefer Knives x Kim, and my personal made-up ship: Lucas x Stacie. I just love big bois with cute smol gfs
-At first, it didn't make sense to see Todd and Roxie hanging out, but then I realized that just like Roxie, Todd was hurt by someone who treated their relationship like an un-important after-thought, a phase; and just broke it up like it was nothing, without any consideration for the other's feelings. And now that Roxie got closure with Ramona she's helping him to move on from this in a way healthier way than she did. (That and they're both gay) That is so fucking wholesome, I need to see them being friends in season 2 pls!! Also sucks she didn't interact much with Matthew, because Satya Bhabha said that he thinks Matthew and Roxie would be friends.
Also this was kinda foreshadowed in episode 2, at the end of Matthew and Gideon's fight, where she mentions wanting to get Vegan Powers after seeing how convinient they are. I need Half-Ninja, Vegan, Lesbian, now!!!!
-Wallace: Holy shit! True love does exist!?
-Ramona is finally gonna stop running away, so she keeps most of her hair as her natural color with a little green at the end to not forget her past and where she came from
-Get wait to see what Goose's game, but it must be in pretty early development, probably untitled even
SEASON 2 PLSSSSSS!!!!

Tagging @choicesfandomappreciation for Spread Kindness Week! I unfortunately was on holiday while this was on, so I missed the week while it was happening. Still, I do want to put up some (belated and very well deserved) appreciation posts for folks whose writing, art, content or even just simple posts make me smile!
For Day 1, I want to shower some well-deserved praise for the fan community blogs that encourage content creators with their events, competitions and prompts, and who tirelessly work to present hundreds and thousands of creative works in their masterlists. As someone who runs a couple events of my own, I know how strenuous it is and it takes a massive amount of drive and patience to do it on a regular basis!
@choicesficwriterscreations - I know you've gone through a couple tough weeks this month, and I admire how sensitively and compassionately you tried to handle it. So much love to the hosts and I hope you guys go from strength to strength! @jerzwriter and @cfwcmod-lucy, love you!!
@choicesmonthlychallenge - LOVE all your monthly prompts even if I am so sluggish in getting them done! Kudos to every single individual who has run the separate blogs for each month...you're all amazing and I love how each day has three prompts to choose from. You all really spoil us for choice. Loads of love to all the individual hosts - @liaromancewriter, @lilyoffandoms, @lorirwritesfanfic, @lucy-268, @peonyblossom, @songsaboutgirls, @midnightmelodiz and of course the mod of this blog @lovealexhunt!! (Forgive me if I forgot anyone!!)
@choicespride - So much respect for all the events you hold, with such a variety of prompts 💜 Picture prompts, dialogue prompts, scene prompts...you name it, we'll find it. And all the weeks are so amazing!! Much love to @peonyblossom and @songsaboutgirls, once again!
@choicesflashfics - I can't help but be in awe of how you put out all these great dialogue prompts week after week! And all different and easy to incorporate into stories. I admire your drive and efficiency!
@choicesprompts - Love the variety of activities happening in this blog!! The rewrite challenges...the prompts...the round robins and collabs - I've never actually been confident enough to participate yet but I really love how you bring so many writers together!! Lots of love to @angelasscribbles and @dcbbw for this blog!
@choicesholidays - Again, this blog keeps track of so many holidays and tries to include them all, and I really admire that! They've done great work 🤗🤗🤗 Again, much love to @angelasscribbles!!
@moodmusicmonday - Love the way you encourage us to share the music that inspires us to write!!
@wordwarriors - An amazing community - we try to meet up every month to discuss aspects of writing and how to improve on it, as well as how we can make our own writing more interesting. I love this little community!!
And of course all the character and book appreciation weeks! @drake-walker-appreciation @maxwell-beaumont-appreciation, @tobias-carrick-appreciation-week - these are the only ones I recall seeing rn but if there are others do let me know!! Loads of love to @angelasscribbles, @karahalloway, @harleybeaumont! SO MUCH LOVE to my amazing co-host for all my character weeks too, @sazanes!!
My lovely Discord Gang!! I have such amazing discussions with them 💜💜💜 @cassiopeiacorvus, @thecapturedafrique and @mand-delemonde - love you all!!
Also to the people who send me such nice inbox messages including @peonierose and @lovealexhunt - I'm very poor at responding to them, but do know I appreciate what you're doing so much ❤️🥰❤️

Tag at least six people (can be more than six if you want), and say at least one nice thing about or to each of them. Can be mutuals, can be people you follow, can be people you don’t know but just happen to exist in the same circle(s) with. All you gotta do is tag them and say something nice about/to them :)
I was tagged by these lovely people (and decided to pull an uno reverse card on ALL OF THEM >:) : @bottleofchaos , @rebelwithoutabroom , @findinghomes , and @wolfboypunzo
@findinghomes- Finn, you make every space you enter just a bit more brighter, always a kind word to say to someone’s latest creation. Your writing never fails to take my breath away. You manage to capture such raw emotion, you put so much of yourself into your writing and it shows!!
@blocksforbrains - hiya Blocks!! I feel like it’s been a while since our paths have crossed, but we’ve been mutuals since before this blog was created, thanks for sticking around for the ride :)

@demonstars - nunki!!! I can always count on you to understand the cdnf demons. Your skillfully crafted posts never fail to shatter my heart in two, thank you for keeping the demons and insanities of Dnf alive and well
@hearvex - fun story H. I randomly saw one of your edits on YT before you joined the fandom and was immediately shocked. It was utterly stunning, unlike anything I had ever seen. Imagine my surprise when I saw you on tumblr, it was like seeing god at Walmart. Being mutuals with you has always been an utter delight, this fandom is better with you in it :)
@rebelwithoutabroom - Taizi!!! An awesome writer and an even better tumblr mutual. Thanks for being my hype person whenever I’m pitching fic plots, and thanks for letting me bounce ideas off you. I can’t wait to see what you create next, I’m lucky to have you as a mutual
@bottleofchaos - Ocean! Thank you for always being there to back up my Greek mythology/ Dnf parallels, you are an absolute gem! There’s always so much humanity in your fics, a fitting reflection of the person writing them
@jupitersthirdstar - Jay!! Thank you for the top tier fic recs and being someone I know I can turn to when things get a little crazy here. I love your loveposting, keep doing your thing!!
@froggyrights - hi Charlie! I know we haven’t been mutuals for too long, but I’ve always thought you were hella cool. I started playing undertale on your recommendation, and I feel like that set the tone for the sort of mutual you are (someone with absolutely based takes)
@rosy-skies - Rosie, oh my dear Rosie. If there was anyone that had to be part of all this I’m glad it was you. Thanks for being *here* with me, seeing the side of me that’s here online. It’s been an utter delight having you here, love ya

@bagelrites - resident skephaloer and maker of adorable art!! Your stories are always so cozy, thank you for making our corner of the fandom all the more lovely with your creations
This is the part where I’m brave and say wonderful things to people I’m not mutuals with but I still need them to know that I think they’re amazing
@anonysage - your art never fails to take my breath away. You always manage to capture so much intimacy in your work, weaving an adorable narrative into everything you create. Thank you for sharing what you do with this fandom
@wolflyndraws - your designs are utterly STUNNING! The colors you use are always so bright and your Dream design is perfect in every sense of the word. I love all the darling au’s you put Dnf in, I get so excited seeing your creations!!! (Also I am an AVID enjoyer of your mermaid au, the colors you have for the tails are MARVELOUS and bright and just so so fitting for the people they’ve been crafted for)
@jun-hug - your little blob doodles always put a smile on my face!! I have two younger siblings who also enjoy your art and we love ‘awww-ing’ over the adorable drawings you’ve made!!!

*bangs fist on desk*
APPRECIATION TIME🗣️‼️
💝
Just thought I’d give a little shoutout to some of my mooties/some of my fav people ☺️
@meowzfordayz is literally an angel omg when I sent her an emergency request it went way above my expectations. (The OP writing skills? HELLO???) Also she’s so friendly omg like high key- MARRY ME 😩 /p
@xxsabitoxx is fucking hilarious. Her writing makes me giggle and twirl my hair and (sometimes) throw my phone across the room like I’m reading 2018 omega wattpad smut. Also she’s a bad bitch 😤 (love the thigh tat btw) and I would fight anyone on sight for her
@muzanswaifu literally makes me leap to my phone/laptop when I get a notification. Also watching you and May interact is fucking hilarious. AND YOU PROTECTED ME FROM AN ANON THAT WAS HARASSING ME??? Adopt me please
@bunny-n3zuk0 is one of the sweetest people I’ve met. Makes me physically and mentally smile whenever you interact with me. Like- how do I put it- (MARRY ME JULIET YOULL NEVER HAVE TO BE ALONE🎶)
@tomiokas-lunchbox is literally on my top ten kin list. I’m dead serious. (GIYUU STANS WHERR YALL AT??) also like everyone else needs to convert to Sanegiyuuism or else I’ll sacrifice you to my closet that needs cleaning
@renhoeku is…how do I put it? Amazing? Absolutely lovely? A fellow rengoku stan whom I want to marry who I want to be besties with? We can like simp for Rengoku together and like have tea and just read smut abt him like I’m down if you are
@akaza-dono-the-basketball is one of my lovely moots, who I adore interacting with. I mean just scrolling through your page at least once a day makes the sun shine a tad brighter. I literally have no words to explain my appreciation- so- 💖❣️💞💘💝💗❣️🩷
@pammyjammy117 was probably the reason I got the courage to make my own Demon Slayer OC. (ALL HAIL ENŪMA🛐) I love going on their live streams on TikTok, and I am absolutely in love with your OC. (I’m working on the Enūma and Monsterverse Kyo smut I promise 😔)
@thatonegenshinsimp is one of my lovely Genshin moots. ☺️ Got me going feral over Itto I swear to mf Jehovah himself after reading your writing I wish I could go back to like those old Gacha days and like be in one of those “whatever you say comes to life” vids so I could bring my bbg to life (and proceed to turn into the loud house)
@sweet-honey-fruit is one of my favorite writers for Genshin Impact characters! Omg that m’fing poll…I’m still going feral over it oml. 😭 Cant wait to see the finished product!! I’ll try to be like somewhat patient 🤷‍♀️
@moraxsthrone is literally so fucking talented. The way you write Zhongli makes me quiver in my boots (and makes something else quiver) Got me up at 2am in an iPad kid position with my horrid posture just scrolling through your page
@yeahitzally is also a literal angel. WHY ARE YOU SO NICE TO ME 😩. Lemme just- 🌹🌸💐💐🌺🌷🌻🪷🪻 Flowers for you my darling. :) I’m grateful to have you as a lovely moot. ^^ MWAH 😘
@peachdues is so talented that I almost didn’t believe it at first. Like okay Shakespeare you ate that! 💅 No but being fr your writing is so good like I’m jealous at this point. 🥲 (also a fellow Sanemi simp I SEE YOU 😏) Oh and if I’m bothering you too much just tell me 🫠
@knyesplease is one of my many lovely KNY mutuals. (Also shoutout to them go support their works!!) I love love love interacting with them, and I can’t wait to get to know them more! Also, thanks for being willing to help me out on my big KNY project. :)
Please DM me please and very much thank you if you want to be featured in this appreciation post. :) Always willing to add someone I may have missed. (But, keep in mind, if we’ve only interacted a handful of times like maybe once or twice, I might not add you.) Also this post was inspired by Meowz!
That’s all! Charlotte out.

Tumblr media
       𝐎𝐇 𝐆𝐎𝐃, 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐈𝐒 𝐒𝐎 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐃 — the truth is that if I’m following you, then I’m happy to see you on dash! But I am not gonna skirt out of it that easily, am I? So, a disclaimer — I am capping myself at ten people (plus obviously the lovely Hayla herself who is joy and light incarnate!). Of course, I have a lot more than ten mutuals all of whom I admire and adore. I’m just going to take this moment to shout out some lovely humans but by no means all of them :
@batteredoptimist​ : Nonny is the reason almost all of my characters on this blog exist, and definitely to the capacity they do. This is my best friend / partner in crime and writing / most bestest human / absolute joy. They are a lovely human and an incredibly talented writer / worldbuilder / artist. I am so invested and have so much love for Nonny’s characters (and Nonny, too, of course!) and I am just...consistently blown away by their lore and writing and I just want to read a whole book or ten about James. Do I have the honor of writing with him most of the time? YES! Do I want more because I’m greedy? Also yes! And... if I don’t stop myself I’m going to babble for way too long. We’ve written 2.7 million words together in less than two years, and I cherish them and our stories and their muses DEARLY. Thank you for sharing your light and stories with me, Nonny! I am forever grateful.
@smokedanced / @dutyworn​ / @dochaes​ / @waywardfeathered​ : I wouldn’t be on tumblr without Havu. I wouldn’t be who I am now without Havu. They are so passionate about their muses (and also the enneagram and birds and math and science), we share a ton of inside jokes, and it makes me very happy to see them here because them being happy makes me happy too! 11/10 human, comes highly recommended.
@imprvdente​ / @hvbris​ : Chloé is just an all around amazing human being, to be honest. Fish is incredibly thought out, but so are ALL of the characters on the multimuse. Chloé’s writing is phenomenal and will one day be published, I’m sure of it (and Fish super deserves it). Also, she has been nothing but genuinely kind to me and has such a warm presence. I am very grateful to get to write with and enjoy her presence.
@voxvulgi​ : Sara is just a lovely human in all of the ways and when the dash is graced with her presence, all is right with the world. Her writing is exactly the kind that inspires you to give your response your all just because her works are masterpieces that deserve the very best. Her characters thouuuugh, and her writing, and just *gestures* the whole package.
@astremourante​ : Ami has built an amazing character that I am SO excited to write with (I am so angry at my queue right now). Also the vibes for both mun and muse are immaculate. Her posts always bring me joy to see on the dash whether IC or OOC and I am pretty sure I have hit the heart excessively because hello amazing human I think that you’re neat!
@angerworn​ : Zed is a bad influence! (Kidding, mostly!) We haven’t been talking for long, but I have been nothing short of consistently inspired by all of the characters that she brings to the table. Also, my muses are all making the biggest grabby hands and want to learn and explore all of the things. Also, Zed has really a really nice energy and presence and I like that a lot!
@tewwor​ : Ro has been with me for a very long time, and through many hiatuses on both ends. I remember even in the beginning being drawn in to how well she tells a story and somehow even more masterfully brings their characters together. From the first, I have just been immersed and amazed at the talent, and at how kind Ro is as a person, too. Can’t imagine myself not following a Ro blog, tbh.
@ofhope / @yourburningsoul​ : Olivia and I haven’t gotten the chance to write together much, and that’s all right because it’s just so easy to see the passion that she brings to her muses. The first blog I followed her on had me so utterly immersed I was sitting there reading posts even though I didn’t know the original media well! Olivia’s presence on dash is one of kindness, joy and light and I’m just so happy to be in her sphere.
@wehavefoundthestars​ : Eve and I have been writing together for years now, and that’s wild to me. This is one of the rare cases in getting so immersed in threads that your characters end up getting married and starting a family. And then...there’s Westley. Oops. Eve has so much love and compassion for Elio that I much prefer hers to the original and now know only one portrayal.
@innerwar : Tommy and I haven’t had the chance to write yet, but I am admiring from afar and am super impressed at how one person can write so many COMPLEX muses so dang well. Also, Tommy, you wrote a novel and that is AMAZING!? I just want you to know that I like your aesthetic, vibe and writing a lot an that there is definitely a post lurking in my queue for you.
  Can I just... can I list everyone? I have so many more people to say nice things to ;_;.

i just wanted to say i adored the demo so much! not only was the game so aesthetically pleasing and nice to look at, the writing is *chef’s kiss*! i just love your writing! it’s amazing and i was completely immersed within the first few seconds. your IF is very professional and put together and i feel like it should be put in a museum! that aspect is just amazing and should earn its own showcase. but now onto your writing and characterization. i. am. in. love. i absolutely ADORE the ROs so much! i just love how different they are from each other. each of them have their own charm that’s unique to them. i am definitely going to play multiple times for each RO so i can experience each of their routes.
like Salvatore, to me, feels like when you see a cat all curled up, sleeping under a spot of sunlight shining through the window. just warmth and happiness, but also maybe don’t mess with them either, lol. like i cant wait to learn more about them and get to really know them past what they present to others. it’s very exciting!
and Luciel! oh, sweet Luciel. i adore them and all their calmness. definitely feel like a foggy, somber pond with a weeping willow where the air is crisp and clean. having a picnic there would be very lovely and i would love to take them on a picnic to a isolated place with a nice view. i also want to understand them more and why they seems so separated from everyone. and why they’re always so nice!
Ciocana! they were so fun during the dance scene. i think that was one of my favorite parts, lol. to me, they feel like you and your friends on a late summer night after sneaking out of the house, going to an abandoned building with a chain-link fence with a ‘no-trespassing’ sign attached. and you just HAVE to climb that fence and explore that building. i cant wait to learn more about them! they seem like a very complex character and those rumors, however true, are just the surface. so i’m excited to explore that dynamic.
and Alessi! ALESSI! i’m in love with them. i loved their introduction so much! the fire, the passion, the defiance. the way they refused to bow down was very iconic. definitely a rebellious, passionate activist vibe. like standing on a flipped over car, a microphone in hand, speaking passionately about what they believe in. you get goosebumps on your skin at seeing them speak and you feel invigorated after their speech. i’m so very interested to see how MC interacts with them and how the whole investigation goes.
all in all, i’m so excited for your story! everything about it is amazing and i can tell you’ve worked hard on this. so congratulations on publishing your IF!
i hope you eat lots of food, drink lots of water, get lots of sleep, and take many breaks. you deserve it! <3
also, sorry not sorry for the long non-ask lol
🥹🥹 Anon, I want to give you a hug 🫂🫂 I'm a little obsessed with your ask
I am so so happy 😭😭 I wish I had words for this, but I am speechless. I cannot match your amount of enthusiasm and appreciation; my gratitude is inexplicable within the constraints of the language--flawed and so limited.
Again, it is super surprising to me that people can see that Salvatore is putting on a front, so to speak! Not that they're disingenuous or faking it, but they present themselves a certain way because they have to. I'm not sure how people are picking up on it, but that is exciting news!! You perfectly capture the happiness and tranquility of bathing underneath the sunlight through the window though 🫶!!
I also absolutely adore the imagery you have for Luciel!! Do you mind if I take inspiration from you? 😭🥹💕 I struggle to describe the exact image they bring to mind, but what you said is absolutely perfect!! Just the right amount of peaceful and yet mysterious and transporting.
I'm glad Ciocana invokes that vibe as well!! They are definitely the definition of teenage defiance, of being told that you can't do something and just wanting to do it even more (which... is probably how their romance is going to be!). I'm super excited to explore them further!
Alessi definitely brings that to mind with their fiery passion! With such strongly-held beliefs, though, they'd likely be hostile to MC at first... but MC is a little different from the gods. So we'll have to see how they feel about that!
Again, thank you SO much for all your lovely words, and your very long ask. Don't be apologetic! You yourself must have spent quite the time writing this ask, which is profound. I sometimes think about how I've taken just a few minutes of someone's life, just so they can say such kind words. When time and energy is so finite, I just... it's the most precious thing to be given of all things. Thank you for your ask 💕🫂

hello, i hope you are well and that the holidays are treating you gently! in response to an ask i sent in earlier and you talked about cochise and your inspo being blood meridian:
firstly apologies for the length of this reply! OMG!!! wow thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful answer and yes ofc i would love to talk to you about writing or anything else anytime!! i haven't read blood meridian but i've heard lots of good things about it, i just tend to get squeemish at graphic violence but i'm willing to give it a go to see how the original work, as well as your derivative (i mean that as a compliment) work handle violence and keep it from being simple shock value and mean something in your respective stories. i also haven't read cochise but something tells me i should do my homework. in any case, excited to analyse violence! you mentioned that stone gothic helped you establish the kind of narratives you're interested in and i'm excited to see how you develop and build on the tones and structures you excelled in in that fic!
it's also interesting that you're designing a reader character who sounds quite different from ones you wrote before, naive and cloudy doesn't sound the same as one who realises they just have to keep going on, and that's honestly really brave of you! stone gothic reader sounds similar but hallmark and the 50 first dates girl sound more in line with another sort of fmc. lots of writers tend to write a specific sort of character and it's not necessarily a bad thing, why fix something that ain't broke/write what you know, etc etc, but i am excited to see how you face that challenge on!
I also like the idea that both of them bring some sort of change out to each other. i really really love the line you brought up, "i will not know gentleness in the way i love you". it's very beautiful, i went and re read the letters until i found it and it touched me in a new way. firstly, thank you for talking about your inspirations, that's always great to hear from any artist and it's amazing how much art inspires other art and takes themes and ideas and reshapes them for new stories and purposes! that line is so good and i deeply love the concept of love as softening, of melting, of turning someone who has seen a lot and reminds them of the gentleness that still exists in the world. but the inverse of that that you're planning, of a reader who becomes stronger, more practical, a little more aware of what's going around her, is also a new and exciting thing to think about love! a lot of people, me included, think about love the first way! one of the first qualities i'd want any partner of mine to have is gentle, kind, soft, but the idea that love can also be expressed in making you "harder", stronger, more smarter, worldly, just, i guess more capable? is interesting! its especially interesting because i think it relates somewhat to how a lot of first generation immigrants i think conceptualise love, including my parents, which funnily enough, in certain aspects i show you can explain the western frontier (it's not a one to one match. but. certain aspects, especially since many cowboys were people of colour.). for my mom, for eg, loving my dad was largely an endeavor of mutual success in a new country. their love was made of shoveling snow and breaking ice and living with people they didn't really understand and a lot of that meant becoming smarter and quicker on their feet, and sure they're gentle and nice, but there's also a lot of bonding that happens when you're both working and moving together in a world that's out to get you, and that's an interesting way to make the romance actively part of her character growth, and imbues it with a sense of theme instead of another plot point for the sake of it.
as for the garrison mentality, lmaoooo i do sort of love when nature is seen as a great terrifying unknowable thing and omg!! doc hollidays' last words being "well, i'll be damned" as he went onto the gentle goodnight when he he was sure he'd die a violent death is both ironic and i think, idk if you mean to make it as one, but a very juicy character trait to deal with in a romance. someone who is very sure that they will perish to the forces of destiny and feel a sense of inevitable destiny about it bc of the things they've seen, and instead be actively surprised by the gentleness of their end or the overall tenderness that still exists in the world, is all very delicious, and a complex i absolutely adore. the world can be cruel and evil and chaotic but it can be just as tender and good and soft if we really look for it, especially if we see it in the faces of the people we love! i am also very curious to see if there will be some pedestal-putting of reader at the hands of steve as you mentioned that she is running away from something that steve hasn't really considered a dark past of her own....wondering how he might react when he finds out this person he saw no violence in may have some blood in their path at all and the kind of toll that it could take....all in all incredibly excited to see whatever you're cooking with and it's obvious that there's some real heat in your kitchen!
my apologies for the essay in your askbox, i just found your answer to my original director's cut question so interesting and it's always fun connecting with people and asking them to discuss their art! also, i talked a bit about things in your answer that interested me and how i thought they'd play out, i hope it goes without saying that whatever you decide to do in your story is the right thing to do, especially on a free platform, and any speculation on my part is just excitement and curiosity of a project that sounds interesting and has a very clear passion behind it, which is always something to admire! death of the author and all that is fine, but i believe toni morrison more when she says reading is an act done by writers and readers together! again, hope you're doing good, and excited for bisbee, friend! much love <3 :) !!!
Hi! Sorry I'm just now getting back!
I will say Blood Meridian is VERY graphic and very sudden with the violent onslaught of violent events. If you are squeamish I would avoid reading it to be completely honest, for the sake of readability, historical accuracy, and the general appeal to audience that my readers are, I'm not going to write in several events even remotely adjacent to Blood Meridian in Bisbee. The violence that I do write in is going to be more easily palatable and necessary for character development. Stone Gothic really helped me develop that melodramatic tone and how I can write in a love story with debilitating hurdles. I ended up falling in love with this form of writing and have written it in several different fics: SITG, The bisbee and Cochise Universes, and a lot of my WIPs. I think Bisbee's reader's downfall is ultimately naive, yet is using that personal to ultimately mask the fact that she is painfully self aware. It has been really helpful to me so far to pull pieces from my other characters- who ultimately contain pieces of me- and stitch them together to create a different worldview.
I think a really big part of it so far is that writing has, like a lot of other people on this platform, held some sort of catharsis for me. It is a way for me to write out and process things and understand that, even though I'm hard to love, I'm not impossible to love. The Stains in the Granite reader really helped me through that. The house had such a big part in the actual fic because the street was based off of my childhood home and the house I grew up in! I actually lived down the street from a Dr. Cullen who was a dentist and had yellow show-quality labs! The SITG reader helped me find that part of myself that I knew was mean and helped me process that, even though I am not an internet personality with a shining smile like Disney on ice, that I am a real person that is worthy of being loved. My Nellie reader was how I was learning to process major grief as an adult and trying to navigate those feelings for the first time in my life. It helped me metabolize and marinate in those feelings of losing a loved one, losing a past version of yourself, or losing grip on who you thought you were. Nellie is gritty and forward like I am. She is learning how to heal alongside Eddie. The same is going to go for this Elsie character, my reader from Bisbee. She is loud and obnoxious, she pushes steve a little too far, she is naive, and she is ballsy. She is also carrying the baggage of a past life and a past lover.
I am a firm believer that you are a culmination of everyone you have ever met, and the boys in my fics are merely catalysts for change within my readers. I still listen to Valentines Sux by the frights every valentines day because my ex-best-friend and I did it once and drove around town in heart shaped sunglasses and ate shitty chinese food because we thought we were unloveable but at least we had each other. I wear turqoise and paint cactus landscapes because my grammy fell in love with the desert and let us love it, too. I got into the habit of documenting and photographing even the most mundane things in my life to accomodate my best friend who lives across the country. My readers are shining examples of the way we carry pieces on everyone we have ever met like stones in a suitcase.
I can also relate to conceptualizing love through stories of immigration. My grandfather was a Finnish immigrant who joined the US air force, got stationed at the Clark military base in the Philippines, and then met my grandmother! I didn't know my grandfather very well as he died when I was so young, but seeing how that love manifested itself into met needs is so much different than the way Mr. Flea and I love each other or the way my mom and dad love each other. My grandmother is a very cold person, however, she shows love by means of met necessities. She will make sure you are clothed and fed, make sure you are still in school, make sure you are disciplined and poised and polite- but she will not tell you she loves you. My mother was raised coldly this way, and my dad was a child of divorce, born to teen parents in the 70s. My parents conceptualization of love was also not outward, and oftentimes expressed as frustration or overbearing guardianship, yet we were fed and we were clothed and we figured out how to not kill each other together. However, Mr. Flea was also a child of divorce born to teen parents, though his mom his very outwardly affectionate and he is, too. It's really interesting to me to see how our environments really affected the way we love each other and how we had to learn to heal and navigate each other in the six years we've been together, and the four we've lived together. I was 16 when I met him, after all! One of my favorite examples of this is my grammy, on my paternal side. She was one of many children, her father died of complications of Polio later in his life- when she was 13. She doesn't remember him much, but she did know that he was a talented and published author. He wrote westerns! We were able to get our hands on a collection of recounting he had from the family. My grammy and I read through every page and laughed and cried together 1.) because our diction and humor has been so overtly passed down through generations like stamps and 2.) you could tell that he loved his family by the way he wrote, not by the way he showed it.
