Cowboy like me! ▶︎ •၊၊||၊|။||||။‌‌‌‌‌၊|• 0:10

Your band has a new single out and a certain actor stars in the music video. Sparks fly just as high as rumours.

[i get so bored in work so I get so inspired to just write a bunch of thing i wish I was doing instead of sitting around. I’m still thinking of how to end ‘call it what you want to’ but enjoy this for now. In this I’ve used the last dinner party as a reference cause hello?! Obsessed, but ur band is called 15screens- idk I made it up]

I just went back and read your original Louis head canons, so I have to ask: do you have any new ones? They're all so good, I could listen to you talk about him for ages !

Nasty baby boy!! Thank you for asking, I need to gnaw on him like a chew toy rn because of my IWTV reread. It's giving me even more Louis brain worms than usual. Little guy....

He is not an animal person in general, but he has a very special and very strong affinity for birds. He has bird feeders at all the windows in his favorite spots, and an assortment of little bird friends (he's had lots of different kinds) in a big aviary who are very spoiled and very well trained. He's also a big fan of the birdtok scroll hole and fighting about birdkeeping on reddit until someone is crying

Louis knows his original family name from France, but never uses or speaks about it. If anyone were to ask, he'd say he doesn't care for it because he wants """his""" achievements to speak for themselves, but in reality it kind of bothers him that his ancestry is "common" and nouveau riche

Lestat's dumbest nickname for him is Minky (because Louis' hair reminds him of those fancy mahogany mink coats, all dark, shiny and fluffywavy). He perhaps maybe possibly finds all the stupid pet names a little bit sweet

Phone game junkie. If brass buttons were that interesting to him, imagine candy crush or the businessman enrichment he would get from animal crossing. Lestat has to limit his screen time so he doesn't rot his brain

He watches Protestant televangelists and bitches at the screen like a dad watching football. Just in general he likes to look at things that make him angry and then complain about it (big fan of Facebook and the news for the same reason)

Really into modern self-help and wellness culture. He konmaris his house every two months and is a top user of the headspace app. It's really annoying for everyone else but it does seem to be working

He uses his vampire prodigy skills to do a lot of sketching outside, especially when the weather is nice. He's always been a nature enjoyer but now he can capture it easily and keep it close. He likes to take pictures too. And show them to other people whether they care or not. The oak tree in his favorite park is like a grandchild to him

Because of his poor feeding habits very early on after being turned, his fangs are just slightly smaller and duller than the average vampire. It makes his kills messier/harder to keep tidy because there's a bit of sawing and ripping involved in the feeding process instead of a clean bite

Contrary to popular belief, he does enjoy physical affection from very close people, like his siblings when he was human and Lestat now. He needs more space than his stage five clinger husband (they would be surgically attached if Lestat had his way), but he likes having someone to lean against while he reads or a lap to sit in during a movie or cuddles after a long day. It just took an acclimation period and some trust building/bonding to get there

His hatred of granulated sugar was partly financially motivated (business competition) but also because he had a massive sweet tooth as a human but it didn't fit his image. Almond mom who sneaks twinkies in the bathroom

On a somewhat related note, his disordered eating wasn't a totally new thing as a vampire. His image of himself was always very reliant on his ability to be "godly" and In Control which led to a lot of extreme monk food habits and secret binging on fat, sugar, and alcohol. It's also why he spiraled so quickly into being an actual alcoholic so quickly after Paul's death

Against all odds, he is a fancy bath guy. Hot water was obviously not super easy to get and regulate for most of his life so it wasn't really a feasible option, but now he's extremely into the idea of being up to his neck in hot water that smells like lavender. He's kind of embarrassed about it though so he takes them when he's alone like it's some kind of petty crime. Lestat knows and leaves him little bath product gifts (and eventually gets to be in included in the baths sometimes)

#also i made his original family name beaujon as a nod to the royal banker #vc #louis de pointe du lac #hc tag #answered

monica monica monica, i just had a random thought about morkday and now i will be manifesting it to happen, or something like it, bc it would be So Good (at least i think so being an angst lover)

they have an argument of some sort and mork storms off. he doesnt show up to work the next day or two so day tries to go looking for him along the paths that they've walked together and he gets hurt some how, i don't know don't yell at me. night calls mork and he quite literally drops everything and straight up runs to the hospital and day instantly knows when he steps in the room bc he smells like the mechanic shop. enter: tearful apologies and "im okay"s and maybe hand holding that makes night realize just how much they care about each other?

anywayssss, it really last twilight brainrot hours 24/7 <3<3

IN A DEAD FAINT IN FRONT OF MY SCREEN AFTER EXPERIENCING THE EMOTIONAL EQUIVALENT OF BEING FLUNG DIRECTLY INTO A BRICK WALL AT TOP SPEED AND HAVING AN HIGH ENERGY PROTON BEAM FROM A PARTICLE ACCELERATOR PASSING DIRECTLY THROUGH MY BRAIN CASSI THIS IS SOOOOO [SCREAMING SHAKING CRYING CHEWING MY WAY THROUGH KEVLAR]

NO BECAUSE THE THING IS!!!!!!! i can actually see this happening so well!!!!!!! like okay do you know that quick moment in the trailer where night is right outside day's room while mork is drying day's hair and night has this look on his face that just screams 'something is going on there and i don't like it'???? and then there's that scene where mork tells day's mom "i know the boundaries of my responsibility" and day hears it AND THEN right after that there's day's mom hugging him????? imagine night suspecting something is going on between mork and day and eventually sharing this suspicion with their mother because he feels protective over his brother and by doing so he confirms what she was already afraid of (because mork and day aren't subtle AT ALL) and for whatever reason she isn't happy with them getting too close (maybe because she thinks mork isn't sincere and she doesn't want day to get hurt, or maybe it's because of class prejudice) so she talks to mork to make sure he knows his place and this ends up making all of mork's self doubts flare up and gnaw at him, which means that when day confronts him about what he said to her, he just.. agrees with her. tells day they're too different and that this is just a job for him anyway

so they fight, like you said. and it's a very ugly fight, where they both say things they don't really mean. as bad as it gets, though, day still expects mork to show up the next day because mork ALWAYS shows up: even when day was actively trying to chase him away at the beginning, mork still kept coming. but he doesn't, now, not even the following day, or the one after that. day tries to reach out but he gets no reply and at some point his mom tells him that it's better like this, that it was gonna happen sooner or later and that they're gonna find someone else to take care of day and that day is gonna forget about mork soon. and day is just so damn tired of people telling him what's best for him and treating him like he can no longer decide for himself, so he says you know what fuck this and goes to look for mork

but then he gets hurt and night calls mork because he can tell his brother is suffering without him and mork runs to the hospital at the speed of light and at that point you couldn't separate them even if you tried (no one actually tries to, thankfully, because even day's mom can tell they love each other at this point)

ANYWAY I FEEL VERY MUCH LIKE THAT GIF OF A WOMAN TALKING TO HERSELF RN THIS IS SO GONNA ACTUALLY HAPPEN THANK YOU FOR THE DERANGEMENT CASSI IM GONNA WALK INTO TRAFFIC

#'day instantly knows when he steps into the room because he smells like the mechanic shop' not to sound dramatic but im about to kill myself #i ain't getting to this show with my sanity still intact IM TELLING YOU #THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS WITH ME CASSI I FEEL SUICIDAL NOW #also haven't reread any of this so sorry if it's a mess ;;;;;;;;;#last twilight the series #morkday #m: ask #cassi 💙#knocking myself out i need to SHUT UP i need to sleep

✨ let's play 10 Qs for GK! 🎆

1- fave character besides harvey/twoface? 2- fave harvey/twoface scene? 3- fave dynamic between 2 characters? 4- best character development? 5- most memorable line? 6- fave plot twist? 7- what did you think of twoface? 8- something you loved about the creation/design? 9- anything you would change about the season 1 plot or characters? 10- what did you think of the season 2 setup?

💌 thanks for sharing the love! #GothamKnights 🦇💋

SLAYYYYY i love quesitons about htingsss this is how i look rn answeirng these btw 👇🏽

in addition to harvey/two face (because he really was showstopper sawwy to the knights), but i reallyyyyy adore duela. not only was she hilarious, her character arc/development throughout the show was great. always enjoyed whenever she was on screen i was like omfgggg my bestie !!

where do i even begin......the one that sticks out in my little brain of mine is when harvey overdoses on his anxiety meds and meets face to face with harv/fugue!harvey. that was absolutely incredible and i replay that scene in my head like a rotisserie chicken bc those writers put their whole pussy into it

at first i was going to say duela and carrie because their dynamic was soooo much fun but after 1x13, harvey and duela pulled my heartstrings like damnnnnnn i did ackshully tear up at that monologue naurrr don't let my mutuals know that. honorable mention are the row siblings because WAHHHHHHH 🥺😭 they mean so much to me

i mentioned duela's development in my first answer and i am not very eloquent with words if we're being honest but the way that she gained a sense of purpose and wanting to actually help gotham through all the trials and tribulations that were thrown at her...really wish we got to see more of that

it's a toss up between "big dent energy" and "guess who rode of the bat wang" .....honestly anything that comes out of duela's mouth is funny as hell who let her be that way

hmmmmmmmmmmm my fave was def harvey being duela's dad. did i call it from a mile away? yes, but it was absolutely satisfying to be right. i actually cheered out loud and punched the air MWAHHH

gosh, when we finally got to see his whole entire face, that shit was absolutely terrifying in a good way. interesting way of how rebecca was the one to toss that acid on his face. sadly, as much as it was all scrumdillyumptious, two face had like a total of three minutes of screentime and we will more than likely never see him again....does anyone have james gunn's number i need to ask him for a favor,

im not following any of the cast and crew of gk pero i have seen some of their tweets and the level of dedication these people put into the show....anyways, everything was so well thought out,,,i nominate the bat cave that shit was really cool. loved the water concept since it wasn't done before in the dc universe

LOL ermmmm, *scratches neck* is this thing on.....NOT to be mean or anything but i wish there was more action. as much as i luv the pauses for breath, i also luvvv ffight sequences. also a part of me thinks the show dragged a little. i know it was only 13 episodes but 18 would've been better. and though i loved the funny bits, sometimes i wish the show took itself seriously. they tried to target to gen z but mannn, at times i had to kinda duck my head bc it was embarrassing and i'm not even gen z. idkk i cant be too harsh on the show bc they did what they could and i enjoyed it overall!!

where is the s2 blueprint ik they're sitting somewhere in the producers' houses....but yeah, i actually liked how gotham knights ended! it works well ffor a mini series. the ambiguity of it all is ripe with possibilities for the fans to gnaw on. turner being trained to become the next batman, the gotham knights putting their boots back on to save the city thinking turner is gone for good, harvey allowing harv to take over with the potential of becoming a major problem....tag me in any stories you write, you guys 👍🏽❤

#ask #omgggg thank you saurrrrr much for sending me this ask i had a blast answering these <333 #everyone go watch gotham knights right neowwww if my dad who owned a comic book store enjoyed it you will to ^_^

fuck you. every single question in the ask game. choose your favorite hyperfixation GO

hello??? dkfjkskf ok i'll do blazblue since im in a talking about blazblue mood

📃 what is the plot of your hyperfixation? and is it a movie, game, show, etc?

the plot of blazblue is that ragna is having a really weird day for a few months, and it is a video game :)

📌 how did you find your hyperfixation?

my friend showed chronophantasma to me and tbh i wasn't that interested but then i bought it at gamestop bc i wanted Friendship Approval or whatever and then i started the story mode bc i was bored and the rest is history

✨ what draws you towards your hyperfixation? what is interesting about it?

i like the characters! i also like convoluted stories with lots of characters it gives my brain something to gnaw on for extended periods of time

🎶 if your hyperfixation has songs/an ost, what is your favorite song from it?

counting spinoffs here i have the illusion world stuck in my head rn. my favorite blazblue song rotates every so often

💕 tell us about one of your favorite characters and why you like them!

I'm gonna talk abt someone else besides my usual faves lately i've been getting a big soft spot for mai. it's probably the fact that remix and variable heart are the two most easily accessible blazblue things to me rn so i keep rereading them but also idk she's cute and fun and i keep forgetting she likes reptiles and weird creatures. my hashtag weirdgirl

💔 tell us about one of your LEAST favorite characters and why you dislike them.

i'll also stray away from what i usually say here bc me actually disliking characters is rare tbh i don't DISLIKE him but overtime i just have begun to find hibiki kinda boring. idk maybe in the hypothetical future blazblue they will make him a bit more interesting but idk i just don't find him that interesting anymore once u get through the whole kind of wanting to kill kagura thing it's just ehh

🏳‍🌈 do you have any headcanons (lgbt, race, neuro, etc) that are important to you?

nobody in blazblue is cishet except jubei bc i think him being the only cishet would be funny. also i think taro being cishet would be funny but also lgbt taro is good.

🍀 do you have any kins or comfort characters from your hyperfixation?

i am a kinnie and i think a lot of people would be able to guess most of my kinlist just by me admitting that

💎 are there any fun facts or trivia that you would like to share?

bbdw has been under maintenance for 3 whole days! i am going insane :)

(they're planned to go off maintenance in about an hour though. fingers crossed.)

💢 what do you NOT like about your hyperfixation? is there something you would want to change about it?

tbh i think a lot of the gross jokes could 100% be removed and very little about the story would be changed. like im hardly even bothered by the fanservice (of the adult characters) at this point i just want platinum to exist on screen for 10 seconds with no dumb lolicon jokes.

Ghost: Tobias finally revealed himself! From MyRock n°57; March/April issue; a FR->EN translation.

Enjoy a 2 page exclusiv interview fully translated from french to english; 3 full-page pics by Amanda Demme and a bitter live report of Zénith de Paris ritual (under the cut at the end of the post)! Note that I’m not perfectly bilingual so any of you who have a better english lvl than me are free to correct any mistake I could have done!

Tobias, master of the Forge

(Translation Note: Yes, we are french and we like dumb puns. So yass, he leads this band, thx)

Few hours before his appearance at Zénith de Paris, Tobias Forge has opened his lodge’s door to us. Decontracted and unmasked, the autoproclamed Ghost’s spokesperson frankly discuss about the band news and about his sudden notoriety.

Interview by Thomas Mafrouche; photos by Amanda Demme.

“In the colllective mind, doing metal is wearing black and shouting in a mic. People believe it’s easy when it’s a music requiring a lot of work and precision.” Tobias Forge

The last time we saw you at Zénith de Paris it was for Slayer and Mastodon’s opening. Tonight, you are the headline and your show is full. You must feel very proud! Tobias Forge: Oh I’m fulfilled! It’s fantastic! I’m very happy with what is happening. Not for the success, but because it allows me to finally have the means to do shows of the scope I always wanted. I always wished Ghost to be big, that our concerts dazzle! There’s nothing which annoyed me more than when you look small on a stage. It’s the case during some opening, or festivals prestations, when we have to play during day time... Ghost isn’t a band built for small stages. It’s a full experience, the spectator must imperatively get what’s coming! But, it’s a monstrous organisation, with a lot of logistical problems to solve beforehand. The more people there are involved in this adventure, the more risks there are for the machine to derailed. But, well, it’s the challenge to achieve when you bring a choir of 40 nuns on stage (laugh). In the end, what matter is that the spectator enjoy it, that they spend a good and phenomenous evening with us.

It is said that you are scrupulous about each detail, even the lights. Is that true? T.F.: Yes... I’m a “control freak”, I must admit it. (laughs) But this hunger for perfection, it’s also what brought me here tonight. This thirst for controling everything, it also came from the fact I’ve often been right by the past, but I was often dismissed... I have long tried to fight against this facet and to let people speak. And in these cases, it often narrowly avoided a catastrophe. So now I assume it. It pisses me off to have become a control maniac, but I’m used to it now, because it’s what’s best for Ghost, and thus, for the public...

Influenced by Candlemass & Metallica

To open your concerts for this tour, you have chosen your fellow countrymen from Candlemass. You’re fan, we guess? T.F.: I’ve been listening to them since I’m eight! They are my heroes! Their album Tales of Creation is one of my cult record! A decade ago, I had the chance to meet them and today we became very good friends. We are often seeing each others, our wifes and children are getting along pretty well too. Candlemass, it’s family! Their music had a direct impact on my way to compose. Plus, there’s all the imagery! I’m not talking about costumes, but the typography and the biblical visuals which always had greatly influenced me. I’ll even confess you something: The first album of Ghost, Opus Eponymous, was written for Messiah Marcolin’s voice [2nd singer of Candlemass, Redaction Note]. At the time, I didn’t wanted to be the singer of Ghost. Then I asked him to join us, but he had declined the invitation, saying he was busy with another project. So, when time has come to sing, I did it with his head voice. Last year, musicians from Candlemass also supported me on stage during Polar Music Prize’s ceremony [Swedish equivalent of Victoires de la Musique, but with guitars, RN (T.N: ouch, it’s a nice shot in our national music award ceremony face, since they never reward rock/metal artists... So yeah, national sized Grammy’s ceremony)]. We covered “Enter Sandman” by Metallica, in front of Sweden’s King and Queen. Robert Trujillo an Lars Ulrich were there as well. It’s an unforgatable memory! My wife and I, we even had dinner with one of Sweden’s princesses, after the ceremony.

Would the princess of Sweden be a metalhead?! T.F.: I won’t go this far, no (laughs). But she was very sociable, we even toasted. It was exquisite!

“Now, I will represent Ghost unmasked. Tobias Forge will be the official interlocutor, the same way George Lucas was the unique spokesman of Star Wars.” Tobias Forge

Speaking of Metallica, you’ll open for them at Stade de France, on May 12th. There, as well, it’s consecration! T.F.: It’s crazy! I’m going to tell you a funny anecdote. I’m not passionate about football, but it turns out that I was in Paris in 1998, during the World Cup. I wasn’t at Stade de France, but I saw pictures in the city, on big screens. And, at this moment, when I saw the final, that you amazingly won, I told myself that one day, I will play in Stade de France as well. It took me 21 years, but this day finally has come! this is proof that you have to believe in your dreams!

Metallica, it’s an institution for many people. For you as well? T.F.: There isn’t a superlativ strong enough to say how much I love these guys! Especially since they became friends. It’s an honour to have been chosen to support them on stage. Notably because they’re one of the reasons which pushed me to do music.

Which is your favorite album? T.F.: Ouch, that’s not easy! From a strictly personnal point of view, I would say Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets. But from a professional one, as a composer, musician and producer, it’s clearly the Black Album. It’s their best record, the most complete. Reaching this level of perfection, it’s any musician’s dream. Everything is here, the writing is bold, with a lot of character, and the producing is impeccable. I know it’s a record which make polemic amongst purists, but objectively, it’s one of these albums which had contributed to forge the metal we know today. In the colllective mind, doing metal is wearing black and shouting in a mic. People believe it’s easy, when it’s a music requiring a lot of work and precision. The Black Album, it’s the result of a huge amount of work, it’s months and months of work!

Papa Emeritus vs Darth Vader

The Black Album is also the record of notoriety, the one which propulsed Metallica with the general/mainstream public. This exposure, it’s something you’re living since the release of Prequelle. Recently, your appearance in the TV show Quotidien created a conflict amongst fans. To have a guitar solo cut during a live stream, is it the price to pay when a metal band enter the great mediatical circus? T.F.: Of course, it’s a sacrifice to do. Let’s say that, with Ghost, our relations with medias hasn’t always been good. I long refused to play their game. For a long time, these mainstream televisions had asked for interviewing Papa Emeritus. I always opposed them a categorical no. You can’t interview Papa Emeritus, the same way you can’t interview Darth Vader. You can meet James Earl Jones, who borrow him his voice, or the actor David Prowse. But Darth Vader, nobody can speak to him. It’s the same for Papa Emeritus. Today, in order to reach the next level, it’s time to play the game, but in our way. Since I can’t relate on Papa Emeritus to do the job, I accepted to do this interview unmasked. The problem is that journalists hadn’t the necessary keys in hands to understand Ghost. Of course, I’m not talking about you, because rock press know very well what we are and who we are. You tell me about Candlemass, about Metallica... It’s something else. You, you know your subject. Mainstream medias, them, what’s interesting them is to make the buzz, it’s to have a bone to gnaw. Sometimes, I wonder why I accepted to do such mediatical things... It’s not like I needed them, moreover my concerts are full! But, well, I decided that now, I will represent Ghost unmasked. Tobias Forge will be the official interlocutor, the same way George Lucas was the unique spokesman of Star Wars. The person you have in front of you today, it’s kind of Ghost’s director.

Otherwise, what are the future projects for Ghost? T.F.: There will be a release before the end of the year, but it will not be an EP of covers like we often did so far. It will be something else, but it’s not done and I can’t tell you about it yet. But I recorded some things... The rest of the year, I will spend it on the road, it will be very long, with, notably, dates in South America. I scheduled to go in studio early next year, to realease an album in 2020. You have to strike while the iron is hot!

(Under the cut you’ll find a semi-bitter live report. Take this line as a trigger warning maybe...?)

Tobias Forge at Zénith?

It took 4 albums, 2 EP and a lawsuit before Tobias Forge, Ghost’s mastermind, offer to the french public an indoor show worthy of the name. The rendez vous is written down for early february, at Zénith de Paris.

Live report by: Roseline Artal.

6 000 persons

Concert: 3/5

Public: 3/5

We was told the show in the capital is full of capacity, but some stands are inaccessible and guarded by vigils. It’s certainly to allow everybody to be dazzled that the band decided to not fill the venue at its maximum capacity, but it’s a shame for those who would have liked to be part of the lucky ones. After a Cigale and an Olympia much comparable to festivals prestations, Ghost decided to put every efforts here. Finally! Candlemass, coming from Sweden, open the ball, remaining on the very front of the stage. Songs flow, some blunders can be heard, notably when the singer Johan Längqvist mix up “A Sorcerer’s Pledge” and “Solitude”, but the crowd seems to appreciate. They rise their fists up in the air when needed, some heads are banging here and there, and we notice a semblance of circle pit down in the front right. However, it’s hard to remain enthusiastic very long in front of the relatively flat performance. Musicians are playing the game and are having fun, which is something at least.

A cathedral stage It’s almost 9 p.m when lights turn off and the black curtains disappear, reaveling the magnificent stained glasses awning over imposing stairs. Such ornated, the Zénith stage is standing out! It’s with “Ashes”, perfect for an appetizer, Ghost offert themselves to their audience, but it’s “Ritual” which receive all suffrages on this show begining. As for “Devil Church”, it end on a duel between guitarists. When “Miasma” first notes resonnate, one question is on everybody lips: “Will Papa Nihil show himself?”. And the answer is yes, for our greatest pleasure. “Jigolo Har Megiddo” is beautifully interpreted acoustically, allowing us to rest down our ears for a short time. Indeed, the sound is unbearable, at least without appropriated protections. Fortunatelly, the view isn’t unpleasant, thanks to a Tobias Forge of many personnalities as funny as worrying.

Papa Emeritus as a mafiosi (well, it’s obviously a confusion between Papa and Cardinal from the reporter here, I’ll correct it for the rest of this paragraphe, T.N) It’s well and truly the last album which is highlighted tonight, which is appreciated by fans. They are indeed ready to sing in unison and turn on there phone on “Life Eternal”, while Cardinal Copia play the romantic mafiosi, all in white dressed, thus marking an end to the first act. 15 minutes of break are offered, without a reason being given. Indeed, when the entract ends, the setting hadn’t change and musicians are wearing the same costumes. What if Tobias Forge became the new Axl Rose with his manic to leave the stage for ages with no valid reason? We’re picky, but these minutes could have been used to play other titles, such as the amazing “Elizabeth” which has disapeared from the setlist for years now... Nothing better than “Year Zero” sing by everyone and the cover of Rocky Erikson’s “If You Have Ghost” in order to put us in a good mood. However, the band found a way to ruin it all by dragging the members presentation out for long minutes. What a shame. “Dance Macabre” and “Square Hammer”, which we all keep loving during live, reconcil us with the swedes, then, without surprise, we’re leaving on “Monstrance Clock”, an ode to femal pleasure. When the lights turn back on, we can’t help but thinking this show was both a success and a disappointment notably due to useless dead calm.

wrong words

warnings: whole lotta angst, fighting/argue

synopsis: in which the wrong words are used and she doesn’t know if they’ll ever be okay again.

The rain pours down the sidewalks, like waves of serenity that wash away her worries. Raindrops fall, pattering along the clear material of her umbrella that is clutched tightly to her chest. The hem of Shawn’s oversized hoodie ends at her thighs, the sleeves rolled up as she wanders, lost and afraid. Dark bags hang under her tired eyes, face a bit pale and dusty. Her fingers tremble slightly from the lack of sleep as she purses her lips, brushing away the loose strands from her messy top knot. The skies are gray and cloudy, wispy clouds rolling into the soft hued sky, and the familiar pit of warmth bubbles in her heart. When she glances up, she has no idea where she is, having wandered off somewhere. The pads of her fingers fumble against the screen of the phone as she hastily presses the green button.

“Hello? Y/N? Oh my god, where are you? I’ve been so worried.”

“I-I’m sorry, I just went sightseeing in London.”

“In the rain?”

“Yeah.”

There’s a pregnant pause as he takes a deep breath, voice laced with worry and frustration as he sighs, running his slender digits through his dark brown curls. He’s noticed that she’s different, shutting him out again, and he wonders if it was his fault. But after days of wracking his brain for reasons, he’s realized that she just needs time. Solitude and support away from the people and the stress and the worry. Just like him. So, he lets her be.

“Come home soon. Let’s cook dinner together, hm?”

“I’d like that. Pasta?”

“Even with the tomato bruschetta that you like best.”, there’s a teasing glint in his eyes that she can sense over the phone as she beams excitedly, calling a “be home soon, i love you.” before jogging off toward the direction of their flat.

“Eek! Stop it! Shawn! Oh my god! You! I swear if you do that-SHAWNIE!”, she’s squealing and shrieking as he throws flour at her, dusting over her face in white powder as he laughs, wheezing slightly from his spot on the floor.

Her features are scrunched into an annoyed one, her hands placed on her hips as she scolds him, making frustrated blubbers at him as he mocks her.

“I hate you.”, he loves the adorable pout, the way her bottom lip juts out, eyes fierce.

He blows a raspberry at her, a cocky grin on his face. “You really don’t.”

“You’re right, but that was so uncalled for! If you-“

She’s cut off by a handful of white powder being thrown on her nose, and through her fit of screeching and sneezing, he can’t help but fall in love with her again.

“MENDES! YOU GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW. COME HERE, I AM GOING TO-“, when she turns the corner, he’s gone. Unbeknownst to her, he’s crept behind her, and with a sudden poke and a loud “BOO!”, she’s screaming and slipping on her fluffy socks.

The impact of the cold wooden floor doesn’t come, and when she looks up, there’s a cheeky smile on Shawn’s face as he holds her carefully, trying his hardest to not burst into laughter.

“You stupid asshole! Actually, well, I’m the one to blame, I should’ve been smarter. Fuck you and fuck me.”

“Will do, princess.”

And all over again, the couple is laughing and screeching and giggling, chasing each other and throwing flour on each other’s faces that create a huge mess in the kitchen they both have to clean.

She huffs tiredly, holding her face in her hands as she ignores him. There’s fire burning in his eyes, a dark contrast to his normal honey color. His jaw is clenched tightly, fingers pulled into fists that lay at his side as he groans, rolling his eyes at her. She continues looking at one spot of the carpet, bunching the fabric of her shirt up into wrinkled balls before they hear the soft call from Karen, “Dinner’s ready!”

The couple trudges to the dining table, sitting next to each other, while still putting as much distance as they can between each other. When they pass around the platter of ravioli, there’s a harsh slap as he places a serving on her plate, annoyance still radiating off of him. She picks at her serving of ravioli, gnawing off tiny bits at the edges as she avoids the worried gazes from the Mendes family. Shawn, on the other hand, continues chewing aggressively, flashing her glares that only worsen the tension.

“What’s wrong?”, Karen starts gently, carefully testing the waters to see how bad the fight is.

“Nothing, Momma K.”, Y/N quickly murmurs out, flinching slightly at the harsh look from Shawn.

“Everything, mom. She’s not being supportive of my job.”

“Yes I am! I do everything I can Shawn! I skip out on my own events, I prepare things, I clean, I travel whenever I can, I’ve attended every party, every event, no matter how big or small!”

“Yeah yeah, just can’t be wrong can you?”

“You’re the one being the jerk. I’m just asking you to stay a couple days and spend time with me, is that so hard?”

“Yes, it actually is, because my job is like this. You know that!”, he retorts, ignoring the warning look from Karen.

“But just three days, Shawn! You’ve been gone for so long! I miss you? Why is it so hard?”

“Maybe it’s because I don’t want to be around you!”

Her heart thuds, shattering into a billion pieces as she coughs, trying to hide the hurt that wells up in her eyes. She looks down, glancing over to see the harsh glare that Aaliyah sends at Shawn.

“Shawn...how could you say that? She’s your girlfriend!”, Aaliyah snaps angrily.

Shawn rolls his eyes, avoiding the twinge of guilt that turns at him. Because he is allowed to get angry, and he doesn’t have to apologize for it. It’s like a mantra that he chants, trying to avoid the looks of anger that are flashed at him.

“I’m sorry. I just wanted you to stay, because I have finals soon and work starting again after my break. Work’s been a bit hard.”, Y/N trembles, embarassment and humiliation burning through her as she says quietly. She tries to ease the tension a bit, however his next snap only adds to it.

“Then quit. It’s not like your measly little job really makes that much of a difference.”

There are collective gasps that sound out, hurt pricking further at Y/N’s broken heart. She gently places the napkin on the table, unable to stop a few tears from leaking out, trailing down her wet cheeks.

Because she knows that she’s a disappointment, and that she’s spent a quarter of the month trying to cram in things that she’ll never understand. Because Shawn is out there making millions a night, when all she can muster at times are a few twenties. And every time he surprises her with a necklace or a gift, her heart breaks a little more because her cheap watches and small guitar picks add up to nothing compared to him. Because she is nothing compared to him.

“I try, Shawn. I really do. And I’m sorry I wasn’t born with good looks or talents. I’m sorry I’m not a beautiful model you can show off. I’m sorry I’m not a renowned actor or famous singer like you. I’m sorry, okay? I know that I’m not enough, I tell myself that everyday so I really don’t need you to imply it. It hurts okay? I wish I could do everything for you. But I can’t. I spend my time studying to try and get a better job then being at a crappy office, I try to work harder so I can support us. But it’s hard when I’m nothing compared to you, so please try to understand. I’ve been there with you through everything, so why can’t you be there for me? I’m sorry I’m not good enough and I’m sorry that I bother you to the point that you don’t even want to be near me. I’m sorry.”

Her makeup is ruined, smudged from the tears that slip off of her cheeks, but she doesn’t care. Manny and Karen are focused on their dinner, sympathy radiating off of them in bright waves that hurt her eyes. Aaliyah looks absolutely broken, shocked and unsure of what to say or do. Shawn stares down at the table, and to say he feels like shit for saying those things is an understatement. Guilt and disgust turn in his stomach in nauseous waves as he chokes on his water. She smiles sadly at the family before anyone can speak.

“I-um, I’ll be going back. Dinner was delicious, Karen, thank you for the wine, Manny, I’ll leave it on the kitchen island. And Liyah, lets um, movie night some other time?”

Aaliyah nods frantically, bolting out of seat to throw her arms around Y/N as she follows Y/N out to the front porch, where she orders an uber.

“You’re not breaking up, right? No, please say no. You can’t leave, you’re my big sister.”

Y/N opens her mouth, only letting out a choked sigh as she shrugs helplessly, heart thudding to rock bottom as she hugs Aaliyah before getting in the car. Her voice sounds so tired and frail.

“I really don’t know, Liyah.”

sorry for the shitiness, i’m really tired rn. please reblog and comment. please leave feedback! @curlsofshawn

Hey I have a fic prompt, thanks for taking these btw. Wynonna finally gives birth and dolls comes to the hospital with all these gifts for her and the baby. Gosh I wish it was a wyndolls baby

IIII feel like at some point I will actually publish this to ao3 but for rn here’s this

“You’re gonna wear a hole in the floor,” Nicole says behindhim. He whirls around with a weakshrug. It had started like your averagesitcom—he and Doc had been bickering idly about the layout of the baby’s room,Wynonna watching from where she’d been leaning against the big, cushionyrecliner she’d begged them to haul in, and every time he’d look up she had thisgentle, pleased smile across her face.

Then, she’d said, “Oh, now I know what a water balloon feelslike,” and he’d practically fallen over his own feet to get to her side, whereshe’s standing in a puddle. “Do youthink amniotic fluid is good for your skin? Like those spas that use, like, placenta treatments.”

At that, Doc had looked fairly green.

For the first few hours, Wynonna had been almost eerily calm. When asked, she’d claimed to have eaten awhole pan of pot brownies. She ate andmade them watch bad movies and napped against his side on the couch. They didn’t leave until the contractions gotbad—and by then Doc was getting antsy and Wynonna had only just then seemed torealize that she was in labor. In the moments before they left, she’dgrabbed his arm and looked at him with wide eyes and said, like an epiphany, “Oh,holy shit, I’m having a baby.”

And about an hour ago, she’d kicked everyone but Waverly outof her room.

So he’s been here, in the waiting room. Wearing a hole in the floor.

Puffing out a long breath, he looks around. Jeremy’s pretending to be really involved ina WebMD magazine, Rosita’s glued to her phone, and Doc’s… probablysmoking. There’s a very rational part ofhis mind—the same part that had the forethought to do the reading Wynonna hadn’t (and her voice echoes in hismind, “See? That’s why we work so welltogether, you totally get when I’mgonna be a piece of shit.”)—knows that, like, this’ll be fine and people have been doing this for millennia, but there’sstill a gnaw of worry in his gut. It’sprobably just that they’re in a hospital, and every time they’ve been here it’sbeen something godawful. He hasn’t saidanything, but Nicole’s wearing an expression like she knows exactly what he’sthinking.

“C’mon, let’s check out the gift shop,” she offers, shovingher hands into her pockets. “I bet youwe can find a ton of stuff that’ll make Wynonna cry, all the drugs she’s on.”

He thinks about it for a moment before shrugging quicklywith a soft, “Alright.”

“I’m never letting another penis near me again,” Wynonnamoans, gripping her sister’s hands so hard she’s sure it’s gotta hurt, but Wavesis just looking at her, eyebrows tilted sympathetically. “Never. No more dicks. I’m taking a vowof dicklessness.”

“Oh, honey, I know you feel like that, but we both know that’snot gonna happen,” she replies softly, freeing one hand to stroke throughWynonna’s hair. Scoffing, she lets herhead fall back onto her pillow and looks around the room without really seeinganything.

She groans and shakes her head and asks, “Can you help meup?” With a small grunt, Waverly helpsher to wriggle off the bed and rubs her lower back as they walk-slash-hobblearound the little room. “I just,” shesays, anxiety sticking in her throat. “Ijust wanna say that I’m, like, glad you’re here with me, or some shit.”

It’s like she can feelWaves giving her a weird look. “Yeah,well, I don’t blame you—Doc looked like he was gonna faint,” she teases. “Dolls woulda been okay, though.” Eventually, she nudges her with her shoulderand whispers, “But I’m glad I’m here with you, too. We’re doing this! Well—you’re doing this. I don’t have a ton to do with it.”

Soon, she can’t just be pacing around anymore and, ratherthan getting back into bed, sits in the chair next to it. A nurse comes and goes periodically, checkingup on her, making sure she’s not going stir-crazy or, presumably, making sureshe hasn’t just had the baby without them. After she leaves, Wynonna doubles in on herself and breathes, “Oh mygod, this is happening, isn’t it?”

“It’s happening. Ithas been happening for a while now,” she laughs.

“I am gonna mess this up so bad,” she blurts, head shootingup and eyes wide. “Oh, I’m gonna fuck upso bad.”

Waverly frowns a little. “I don’t think that’s how labor works, like, this is one thing I’mfairly confident you cannot mess up,” she says.

Wynonna doesn’t correct her.

“What do you think about this one?” Nicole asks, pointing ata display balloon that’s about half as tall as she is in the shape of a baby.

“I think she’d find it unnerving,” Dolls answers honestly,wincing a little. “Her and me both,actually.” He eyes a cake-shapedarrangement of diapers with extreme prejudice. “The stork one is cute, though.” Her laugh is quick and short—the thing clearly has some demon-eyeissues. At length, he says decidedly, “I’mgetting one.”

He gets a judgmental look when he pulls one, deflated andfolded neatly, off the shelf. “I thoughtwe were trying to make her cry,” she says pointedly.

“I’m not entirely convinced this won’t contribute, it’shorrifying,” he replies. They go backand forth over flower arrangements—she thinks a few smaller ones would be best,he has his eye on one of the big, gaudy, bright ones because he knows Wynonna—and trade greeting cardsback and forth, laughing at the overly emotional entries.

“’Of all the people who throw up on you,’” she reads, voicesolemn, “’Babies are the best.’”

“’So fresh. Sonew. So sweet.’” Dolls holds up one with a deer in a field offlowers on the front.

“Talk about unnerving,” she snorts. “Jesus, who let the Widows get into thegreeting card game.” Then, her eyeslight up and she holds up a pink card with only the words SHE’S HERE! over and over again in gold. “Why are so many of these so ominous? Do other people not find these ominous?”

“I feel like other people do not find these ominous, no,” hescowls, holding up YIPPEE! A SHE! forher confusion and delight. “They should, but those are the type of peoplewho believe in animal attacks.”

“I mean, fair,” Nicole concedes. “Okay, I can’t read these anymore.” She stumbles back a step and wanders thestore. He hears the crinkle of plastic.

“Twizzlers?”

“Red Vines.”

“Heathens,” hebreathes.

The woman working the register is nearly done inflating theballoons—an excessive amount, he can now admit, now that he’s batting them awayfrom his face—when his phone chimes. Almost as soon as he pulls it out of his pocket, Nicole’s phone startsringing.

As he unlocks the screen, he hears her gentle, “Hey, baby,what’s—oh! Oh, okay—we’ll—yeah, on ourway.” He’s got a text from Jeremy thatsays UPDATE!!!!!!!

Presents cumbersome in their grasp, they rush back to the waitingroom where Waverly is standing, bright grin and cheeks wet. Doc runs up only a moment later, breathheaving and face pale, and Dolls switches things around to free a hand enoughto smack his shoulder comfortingly. Hegets a weak flicker of a smile, so there’s that.

It feels like it takes forever—minutes, hours, days—for Waverlyto finally say, voice thick with emotion, “So, we’ve got a girl! Right number of appendages, looks healthy,Wynonna’s good!”

What follows is a flurry of excitement, hugs, cheers, thecrush of relief and happiness and excitement. They get so few of those that aren’t tinged with something else,something terrible or horrifying or just sad. It’s easy to get pretty caught up in themoment.

Technically, the first time she’d held her, she’d been amess and Wynonna had been too shaky-scared-worn out to do anything but stare atthis wet thing that just came out of her. Now she’s clean and bundled up and all Wynonna can think is how brighther eyes are and how very, very small she is. She’s sweaty and gross and completely out of it, and she barely noticeswhen the door opens. But then thebustling kind of breaks through whatever trance she was in and there areballoons and voices and flowers and she’s smiling so hard it hurts and remembers something aboutendorphins.

“Everyone meet Wisteria, the newest Earp!” Waverly announcesexcitedly, bounding to her side.

“Fifteen minutes old and she’s already better than any ofus,” Wynonna says nonsensically. Andthere are demands of pictures and everyone’s crowded around her and people keephugging her and she doesn’t hate it. “Thatis such a disturbing balloon,” she tells Dolls, frowning up at the stork.

“Yeah,” he grins, eyes darting between her and the baby.

Gently, she asks Waves if she wants to hold her—it’s onlyfair, she dealt with her through this whole thing—and the way her face lightsup makes her chest feel like it’s gonna explode. She watches her sister straighten with thebaby cradled to her chest, waves her off with an order to “make the rounds”. As she does, movements ginger and slow, Rosieinches over and asks how she’s feeling.

“Well, Chris Evans sure as hell isn’t feeding me chocolates,”she teases, shifting a little. Shewatches the others take turns, watches the way Doc holds her like she’ll breakat the slightest jostle, watches Waverly snapping pictures. Suspicion and amusement color her voice whenshe asks Dolls, “Was all that necessary?” She gestures at his full arms.

“It absolutely was,” he grins.

Tolerance Must Be Intentional

It is virtually impossible to grow up white in America completely free of racism or bias. We are a country which was built upon the genocide of one race, and the enslavement and brutalizing of another. White, and male, superiority was written into our original Constitution, and has taken centuries to soften. Much as well-meaning and ethical white people would like to avoid them, racist notions seep in under our doors, appear unbidden on our screens, as much as does body distortion for women and hyper-masculinity for men.

Some of us, like me, were schooled in bias from the inside, on the other side of the door. My parents taught me to look down upon anyone who was not white, northern European, and Protestant. The “n” word was used both caustically and “jokingly”, and we were taught to identify “wops”, “japs”, and “spics”. It wasn’t until I got to college that I realized with a horrifying thud that if you get a good deal on a car, then say you “jewed down” the salesperson, you are invoking a centuries-old stench.

Following the Civil Rights Movement, my family took its bigotry underground. At least in the North, blatant racist speech became unacceptable, and as propriety was important to them, they complied. In my experience, however, latent bias can be equally problematic. White people’s bigoted ideas become inaccessible to them, removed from everyday consciousness. People like me can then commit some of those microaggressions that are so much a part of the everyday lives of black Americans, without awareness.

A number of years ago, I was involved in two interracial partnerships, among three mainline Protestant churches, my white and two black congregations. One of the partnerships created a public access TV show, something that became one of the most meaningful, and fun, things I’ve ever done. But while the growing popularity of the show eventually caused my white congregation to shut it down, I myself regularly became aware of biased attitudes of my own, even about people I’d come to love and respect.

During that time, and since, I’ve realized that I must be continually open and vigilant to old, and new, biased ideas that might be polluting my worldview. Following awareness, I must struggle with them, expose them to the light of fact, and ferret them out. A from-the-manor-born preacher who was jailed with Dr. King, William Sloane Coffin, stated that he must continually live as if in recovery from his racism, sexism, and homophobia. Recovery takes vigilance and intentionality. It works, but it’s work.

Which brings me to my latest struggle with bias. There’s a Muslim man I’ve known for years. He and his wonderful family have been upstanding, tax-paying, and contributing US citizens for decades. Naturally he is, as am I, concerned over talk of a Muslim registry. Many of us have committed to registering with him.

This is where the problem comes in. This otherwise person of integrity is homophobic. While she was infected on the job as an RN, my little sister died of AIDS, and homophobia hits me hard. Each time I hear of yet another murdering young man who identifies himself as Muslim, I think of my Muslim friend and his bias against gay people. Islamophobia begins to gnaw at me.

So I have to get to work. I remind myself that Muslim terrorists don’t have anything more to do with Islam than those men who lynched on Saturday night and went to church on Sunday morning had anything to do with Christianity. And that the common thread in so much of terrorism is domestic violence, not religion.

Then, as therapists and their clients know, it so often boils down to honest, authentic, human interaction. My Muslim friend and I have to talk, and it’s up to me to make it happen.

And, as I saw growing up, tolerance is all of one piece. I cannot be genuinely tolerant of one disenfranchised group, and intolerant of another.
