Fragrant Flower Path
Tumblr media
This is Fragrant Flower Path! Originally released in November 2022 as part of a 2v2 event, it is paired with Phantasmic Butterfly, and is the first of the two. It cost 1608 diamonds the first time around, and went up to 2448 diamonds without free tries. Costs assume a 100% win rate, so it might end up costing a little more if you rack up some losses. This event will likely return in the same format.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It comes with a posed hair, two posed dresses, and posed earrings. It includes three moveables as well as makeup. There IS a tilt to this outfit, but it's very minor.
Tumblr media
It's one of the first suits I got with an extra posed dress, as October 2022 is when Love Nikki started making two sets of posed items, one without extra accessories. In my opinion, this particular extra posed dress is very underwhelming, as it's only missing the very small handheld by her face.
Individual items below the cut!
I decided to use the Spring in Day background from the Glazed World event because it's just so cute! I don't normally use this background because it has foreground items that partially obscure your Nikki, so it's a little more work for me.

Here's the posed hair and earrings, followed by the unposed earrings so you can see the difference.

HELLO MER i come to request some Alistair x Warden based off the poem "Love Is" by Nikki Giovanni (who i got to meet once she's so cool and also very short and powerful love her so much):
Few recognize that love is commitment, responsibility no fun at all unless
Love is You and me
hap late friday ro💜 this felt very king alistair/queen cousland to me, so have some Alistair x Ember in her queenverse :3
725 words for @dadrunkwriting
~~~
Heavy is the head that wears the crown, that’s what they said. They also said it would weigh heavier on their young heads, that they’d taken it in a fit of idealistic passion, that it would all crumble around them.
They didn’t care.
Alistair rose from his throne first, stretching crooked bones and muscles in a decidedly not kingly manner. He pushed his crown up to scratch at where his hair had matted against his skin. With half a smile, Ember propped an elbow against her own throne and used her fist to rest her chin.
“You know, you could always grow you hair out. It helps with the—“ she gestured at her own head, where thick locks of red hair protected her sensitive skin from the thin band of gold, twisted in an ornate pattern that mimicked wheat at its ends.
“It’s not the hair,” Alistair groused, “It’s because they make me wear one that’s three times as thick as yours just because I’m a man.”
“I’ll swap with you. Eamon doesn’t need to know.”
“He’d know,” Alistair said darkly. “He always knows.”
Ember stood and closed the space between them with graceful steps. She lifted Alistair’s crown from his head and held it to her chest as she gently kissed his cheek. As she pulled away, he caught her face with both hands and pulled her back for a proper kiss.
“What are we going to do about Edgehall?” she asked, resting her forehead against his chin. “I feel as though we’ve poured so many restoration efforts into the region, and yet it seems to do no good.”
“Maybe we need to look at Lendon. He always seemed a bit slimy to me.”
“You think all of the Arls are slimy.”
“Not true,” Alistair countered. “The arl of Amaranthine is perfectly lovely.”
“Flattery will get you nowhere.”
“Now that’s simply untrue.” He hooked an arm around her waist and drew her from their dais, toward the door that would take them to an illusion of privacy. “But as far as Edgehall is concerned, perhaps an independent envoy, rather than money directly to the arl? That would settle the matter of where the breakdown in the funds is happening, at least somewhat.”
“It’s something,” Ember agreed. They passed into their private suites, laying their crowns in the designated cases in the foyer. Beyond that lay their chambers, the closest thing they had to true privacy.
Walking through those doors felt as freeing as loosened hand cuffs, as though the hangman had cut his noose from their necks. It had been nearly a year since they agreed the nation could not be trusted to Anora’s plans, and yet neither relished the power they’d come into, despite what the papers and the rumors said.
“We deserve a break,” Alistair said suddenly.
“Yeah?” Ember snorted. “And we’re about as likely to get it as we were before the archdemon was dead.”
Alistair hummed thoughtfully. “We could come up with a plausible idea….a visit to Highever, maybe?”
Ember’s heart soared and tightened at the same time, as it always did at the mention of her home. She leaned into Alistair’s chest and sighed. His arms encircled her knowingly, stroking soothing motions up and down her shoulder blades.
“You don’t think Eamon would see through that?” she said, voice soft and weak as it could only be when they were alone.
“Who cares,” Alistair said loftily. He pressed a kiss to her hair. “He wanted me to be king so badly, he’ll just have to listen.”
He pulled back slightly, tracing down the line of her cheek and finding a home for his hand at the nape of her neck. “Fergus will have things in hand, I’m sure, and we could have some truly uninterrupted peace.”
“Mmmm been a while since we had that luxury.” It was sorely tempting. All of that and to be surrounded by the childhood home she missed and mourned in equal measures. And her brother.
“Alright,” she agreed. “But only if you tell Eamon. He barely tolerates me as it is.”
Alistair bent his head to kiss her softly. “Almost makes you miss a tent out on the edge of the Wilds, no?”
That made Ember laugh, and huddle a bit closer to Alistair’s fur-lined tunic for memory of the chill. “Almost, indeed.”

Two Ghosts Epilogue
TITLE: Two Ghosts Epilogue PAIRING: Rooster/OC RATING: T CHAPTER: 19/19 SUMMARY: It was just a routine training session, but it changed Noel “Mongoose” Grenier’s life forever. The legends of pilots flying through time vortexes was true, because it happened to her. Dropped into 1984 during Maverick’s Top Gun training, she must navigate keeping her secret while also completing the program…again. Will she return to her own time unscathed? Or will she lose her heart in the process?
[A/N - It’s been a while, but here I am with the canon epilogue finally!]
“I don’t wanna!” Nikki Bradshaw yelled at her mother.
Mongoose took a deep breath.
God had blessed little Nicole Carol Bradshaw with a temper to rival her father’s. God help the Navy if she ever decided to join like her parents.
“I don’t care what you do or don’t want. You’re taking a nap.”
Mongoose had flight plans to go over, plus new Top Gun recruits, and she couldn’t do that if she had a cranky toddler.
Nikki pouted. “I just wanna be awake when daddy gets home.”
“Think of it this way. Instead of sitting by the door and waiting for daddy to be home, you can take a nap and he’ll be here when you wake up.”
Nikki finally relented and let her mother tuck her in for a nap.
What was so hard about taking a nap? Mongoose wished she could take a nap most days.
She settled down on the couch to look over flight plans for new training exercises because her office chair hurt her back too much at this stage in her pregnancy. She also had to go through Top Gun applications and pick pilots for the upcoming class.
The baby was kicking up a storm today so she could barely focus on her work. Maybe it was time to go on maternity leave and leave this to her Rear Admiral to deal with.
This pregnancy had been more difficult than when she was pregnant with Nikki. With Nikki, the morning sickness had stopped around her second trimester, but this time it hit her at every minute of every day.
Before she knew it, Rooster was walking through the door still in his flight suit.
Mongoose smiled. “Hey baby.”
“Hey Goose.”
Rooster walked over to her and kissed her forehead. “How are you Admiral Bradshaw?”
Mongoose smiled. “Better now that you’re here Commander Bradshaw.”
Mongoose had worked her way up through the ranks and made Admiral. Just like Iceman had been. She loved Rooster with everything in her body. A part of still thought about Iceman from time to time, but she knew he was watching out for her and Rooster. Along with Goose. She hoped they were proud of them.
Rooster had risen through the ranks following the uranium mission, making Captain shortly after their wedding. He had stopped at Commander though. He didn’t want the responsibility of Admiral. He saved that for his wife.
“How was Nikki today?” he asked.
“Pretty good. We only had one breakdown. She’s currently sleeping it off.”
Rooster placed his hand on her swollen stomach. “And the little one?”
“Kicking up a storm. I’m surprised they haven’t burst out of me yet.”
“Sure you’re not giving birth to a Zenomorph?”
Mongoose narrowed her eyes at her husband. “Haha, very funny Bradshaw.”
“I’m hilarious.”
“Maybe you should just quit your job as pilot and do standup comedy.”
Rooster just rolled his eyes at his wife.
Mongoose stroked her stomach as she watched as her husband walk around the living room, settling in for the night. “So…I was flipping through the baby name book and I found one I like,” she told him.
“What it is?”
“What about…Tom?”
Rooster looked at his wife. “Like Iceman?”
Mongoose looked down at her lap as she played with her dog tags. “I mean…you were closed to him growing up. I know his death hit you hard too. Not just Maverick.”
Rooster sighed as he sat down next to her. “Without him I wouldn’t have gotten into the Top Gun program. I’ll think about it.”
Mongoose looked at him. “Unless you’d rather name them after Mav?”
Rooster laughed. “God no. The man has a big enough ego as it is.”
After much convincing, eventually Mongoose got her wish.
Thomas Peter Bradshaw was born on the coldest night in San Diego on record, living up to his namesake’s callsign.
As Mongoose drifted off to sleep, she swore she felt a cold kiss on her forehead and heard these words, “Good job, princess.”

Saint Laurent Bags
Looks inspired by Matisse and Picasso proven throughout Yves Saint Laurent’s final present in 2002. A shift gown with de Stijl abstractionist Mondrian’s color block painting on it. One 1988 couture show featured clothes inspired by Vincent Van Gogh’s sunflowers and irises. First released in 1997, Fendi's Baguette rose to fame together with Carrie Bradshaw, the Sex and the City character portrayed by Sarah Jessica Parker. For his summer 1967 collection, Saint Laurent created an Africa-inspired assortment, creating gowns with materials like raffia, straw and picket beads. In 1960, Saint Laurent was drafted into the military, which is said to have taken a toll on the designer’s psychological well being. Saint Laurent’s stint only lasted through coaching camp, and he ended up being hospitalized after a psychological breakdown. It was while in the hospital that he learned he would not be returning as Dior’s head designer and that Marc Bohan would take his place. Hardware pieces similar to chains from past jewellery traces were recycled into handbag lines in later collections. The two designers created numerous textures in accordance with current tendencies and would minimize, pierce, and perforate materials to intensify the themes of the lines. Sac de Jour, with its streamlined silhouette, is probably considered one of the hottest YSL bags. Introduced in 2013, it was designed by the then creative director Hedi Slimane. More probably to be used as a work bag, Sac de Jour, with its elegant appeal and restrained glamor, is fashionably flaunted by women on all kinds of events. Available in a rainbow of colors and a plethora of materials, together with exotic skins, this tote bag is impressive. Because it’s ultracompact, the Envelope works greatest as an evening bag or for occasions when one only wants to carry the bare necessities. wikipedia handbags With a zipper closure and an exterior again pocket, the ‘Lou’ bag is the perfect first bag for anyone seeking to start investing in luxury handbags. You can leap on the mini-bag trend with the ‘Lou’ digicam bag, which is all over Instagram. This bag is ideal for a time out shopping or to put on on an evening out with your friends. Available in four sizes at Saks Fifth Avenue, the Niki bag is likely one of the most versatile within the Saint Laurent lineup. The ‘Nikki’ takes a classic design and makes it contemporary via the usage of crinkled leather and monochrome colours. Just suppose you must use this gift card on yourself, or you should use it to purchase an excellent holiday gift for friends and/or family! You can always put the present card toward a fabulous Gucci bag, a Prada purse, that Gucci belt you’ve had your eye on, and extra.

Dance with Wild Flame breakdown and versatility
Obtained by: True Roads lucky bag drop (either 1st or 2nd).
Versatility: 6/10
Suit overall: 6/10. Would use this occasionally.
Suprisingly versatile! Works great with Royal March and Light Chaser.
The coat and the longer coat part are separated, the longer coat is a brooch item
The hair is great for autumn stylings, the shape is a bit weird so I covered it with a hat.
The Unicorn is…not visible at all in free dressing. Wish they could’ve moved it to her right
That’s probably the only con though, otherwise this suit is great!

Hi!! Congrats on 300, sweetie! Here's a concept. 🦦- holland!reader tells Tom that she's pregnant but he doesn't believe her bc it could be a prank. Then he noticed she started showing signs of pregnancy and he pulls her aside and he's like "*insert prompt no. 5* bc you might be right" and she's like "i tried to tell you" but he's like "eh, to see is to believe" Sorry that was long omg smsksms
thank you!! i love you k🤍
this got really long LMAO but i loved writing this
🦦- blurb request + prompt #5: “can i believe you?”
unplanned pregnancy | holland!reader
neither of you thought that this would happen. you both were so careful when having sex, so you being pregnant was a very confusing situation at first. you only realized it when your period was late, and you were paranoid when your period came a day or two late, so two weeks late was a telltale sign that something was wrong. you decided to buy a test, not telling shawn about it until you knew for sure that you were pregnant. the two of you were just friends with benefits, yeah you had feelings for him, and sure he didn't go out with anyone except for you, but he wasn't your boyfriend, so you didn't think he needed to be involved until you knew for sure.
you came back from the store to a relatively empty house, only nikki and sam were home at the moment. paddy and dom were out golfing. it was a typical sunday for them, but for you it felt like your whole world was being flipped on its head. 
when the test came back positive. you slid to the floor, back against the wall and cried. you were only nineteen, how in the world were you going to raise a child? you choked back sobs, not wanting your family to hear you breakdown. you decided to leave the bathroom, pregnancy test in your pocket and went to lay down in your room. you closed the door behind you, and as soon as you did, you texted shawn telling him that you were pregnant. now the only issue was deciding whether or not you were going to keep it.
a few days later, you decided you needed to tell your brothers. they were the closest people to you, and seeing as half of them lived with you, they were bound to find out. you sat them down at tom and harry’s house, where you could be away from your parents. other than the five of you, the house was empty, tessa sitting at your feet as if she knew. 
“i have called you here today for something really important,” you said, the serious tone to your voice not only acting as a front to hide your emotions, but was the only way you could speak about being pregnant to them. they all gave you a confused look.
“what did you do?” sam immediately asked. they all looked at you intently. you opened your mouth, closing it shortly after, not really knowing how to say what you needed to say. 
“i’m so sorry,” was all you could muster out before you started crying. you wiped away your tears, but they didn’t stop falling. “i swear we did everything to prevent this but nothing stopped it from happening, i’m so sorry.” for some reason you couldn't say the two words that would explain everything. 
“what happened?” tom asked, immediately softening up to his baby sister crying. harry stood up and hugged you as you were sitting in your chair. the feeling of his arms around you mixed with the concern that they all were feeling towards you made you cry more.
you choked back a sob before saying, “i’m pregnant.” you didn’t dare to look at their faces because you knew they were filled with disappointment, but instead they were all shocked.
“this is a prank right?” tom asked. he couldn’t believe that his little sister was pregnant. he was immediately scolded by harry for asking that, but harry would be lying if he said that a small part of him wasn’t convinced. you, like your brothers (except for harry), had taken acting classes, and they knew you were extremely talented, you just didn't want to pursue it just yet. 
“are you kidding me thomas?” you asked. you couldn't believe that he was asking you if you were lying. the conversation continued, but you all decided not to tell your parents just yet, you would get there once you decided whether or not to keep the baby. 
•••
when morning sickness became an issue for you, it had been a month or so since you found out. you hated throwing up every morning, but you hated how tom reacted more. he still didn’t believe you.
you were staying at his house for the weekend, for no reason other than you wanted to get out of the house, but you still wanted to be with family. they let you stay in their guest room, but unfortunately for you, it didn’t have an en suite bathroom. you had to use the bathroom that was a few doors down when you needed it, so when you woke up with nausea, you immediately ran to the bathroom, slamming the door behind you as you held your hair back and threw up.
you didn't even realize that tom was awake, but as he heard the bathroom door slam shut, he got up to investigate. upon finding you throw up, he took your hair out of your hands, holding it back in one of his, using the other to rub your back.
you groaned as you got up, shutting the lid of the toilet, then flushing. tom let go of your hair, as you went to brush your teeth. this had become a part of your daily morning routine, and now tom was a spectator to this disgusting portion of your life.
at breakfast that morning, you sat down with tom out in the backyard. the others were sitting at the kitchen table, but after throwing up, you decided that you needed some fresh air, and tom didn’t want you to sit out there alone. one of your playlists was playing quietly through the speakers of your phone as the two of you ate.
“can i believe you? i think you’re telling the truth but i just don't want this to be a prank that was taken too far.” tom wanted to believe you with his whole heart, but he didn’t want to be a victim to one of your pranks. being the only girl out of your siblings, he knew how hard you tried to fit in every now and then, and he thought that this could be one of those moments. but he knew you were pregnant.
“i tried telling you,” you said before taking another bite from your stack of pancakes. 
“well, you know what they say, to see is to believe.” you smiled and rolled your eyes at him before flipping him off. “so what are you going to do?” he asked. tom was trying to be an adult here, and he knew that you were struggling to make the decision. “i’ll always be here for you no matter what.”
“i don’t know tom, i don’t know.”

Diamond Farming Guide
After several months of stam hoarding, I cannot recall which Nikki tuber(s) have suggested Debbie-format as the cornerstone of dia farming, but I can tell you that day 1 of skipping the Debbie-format suit in favor of the NPC’s sweet sweet diamonds yielded me about 550 diamonds--and I haven’t even cracked into my comp box stockpile yet. (This stuff is probably a fusion of wisdom from both Effie and Viv in the past year, but I follow at least four Nikkis on YT, and they all have great gameplay input and tons of experience.) I’m just so impressed with the efficiency of it, that I wanted to do a write-up for it!
Hoard stam and Competition vote boxes. (Optional, but also helpful for accumulating even more stam and dia: Lots of Corridor voting, too.) Anytime you participate in a Hell event that drops stam, keeping it for later is a great base for hoarding, ‘cause it typically works out to several hundred per suit.
Skip a Debbie-format suit that you’re not 100% in love with. Thus far, they always return for crafting/store. Instead of accumulating the currency to exchange for the suit, give it all to the NPC. (Optional: Hunt easter eggs. I don’t do it, so I don’t have a breakdown on how to. Many players swear by it, though, and there’s lots of tutorials out there.) If you don’t have things to farm crafting materials for--though I can’t imagine many are lacking for things to craft right now, ‘cause V2:Ch6 is so huge--Maiden V1:7-7 is ideal for decomp purposes, as it can drop a ♥♥♥ and a ♥♥♥♥, often both: and you’ll always need more Earrings & Necklaces.
(Alternately, of course, you can always finish a Debbie-format suit, then continue this farming guide as normal. Depending on your V-level and how much stam you tend to hoard, you’ll usually get at least a day and a half to two days of dia-farming on top of acquiring the suit, if you so desire.)
Use the extra gold from the NPC and stam usage to buy pull 100s in the Pavilion of Mystery. Now couldn’t be a better time to do all the extra pull 100s you can, because 95% of the crafting materials for Starsea can come from the Mystery House, and we’ll likely (hopefully?) be getting the Starsea recolor on LN server sometime this year? I usually keep around 500k-1mil on hand for crafting purposes and spend the rest.
Decomp everything extra. (If you were farming V1:7-7 that’s Lampwick Brown hair and Silent Rose coat.) Revel in dozens of decomp chests, which can yield Tarot pieces, dia, dyes, star coins, and gold--and doing so doubles as Reconstruction suit farming, so you’re likely to get massive progress on any you’re working on.
If you want to be extra thorough, you can weed out all the Mystery House recolors that you’ve already finished. The ones I find easiest at a glance are from Tower of Zen: the “lucky red” pieces and the gold ♥♥♥♥♥ pieces. (I compiled a full list below, for if you’re ever feeling like cleaning up your wardrobe dupes.)
There’s a hyper-intensive third degree of decomp where you assess whether you’ve crafted every single thing an item might be used for, then decomp them from that point on--but it takes hours upon hours of cross-referencing on Nikki’s Info, and I’ve never in the three years I’ve played completed a full inventory purge. It’s not necessary, but it’s a major extra push for decomp chests if you’re so inclined. (I once saw Viv decomp over a thousand items this way.)
If you’ve got a surplus of Mystery House currency, you can always spend it on pieces you can buy, then turn around and decomp those too. I see lots of people cash in their Cinderella Shoes for decomp material, for example, if there’s not any Lifetime suits they’re saving up for. I personally always aim to complete all Lifetime suits (and eventually, all their recolors... except Grice, that restored Yoke can stay in the bin RIP) so I keep my Cinderella Shoes, where I prefer to buy extras with my 150-dia pav currencies, if I’m doing this.
I’ve also seen people during pick-and-choose Debbie-format events spend any surplus currency last day on whatever item(s) they can afford, for extra decomps. Ideally, though, you’ll never have that much leftover on the last day, following this strategy.
Following this strategy during a Debbie-format event, you essentially get dia from your dailies, from voting in the Competition and Corridor, from the NPC, from decomp chests, and from completing suits. It all racks up very very fast!
If you’ve found this useful, I'd super appreciate a like and reblog. Share it with your fellow Nikkis. You’re free to link to this list elsewhere! Just make sure to credit me, please, as this write-up took several hours. I don’t have a Reddit account, so it’s totally cool if anybody wants to cross-post!
♥♥♥♥♥♥ Enjoy swimming in dia, lovely Nikkis. ♥♥♥♥♥♥
(If I’ve made any errors or missed items, totally let me know so I can edit this!)
Below the cut is a breakdown of the Mystery House items that have recolors, sorted by rarity and tab. Anything you have finished all the recolors of is prime decomp fodder--you are almost guaranteed Recomp jewelry drops from them. (The way I usually go is, skim through Customize with a list like this one, and write down anything that has a “Get” on it. Anything you still need to color something of will show at the very top of the list, without a “Get” on it. Then, I take the list I compiled, and apply that to the Decomp menu.)

Radiant Feathers
This is Radiant Feathers! My favorite minor suit from the Court of Gods hell, it was released in February 2024. Tumblr ate my first draft of this so if it posts twice, sorry.
Tumblr media
It's hard to say exactly how much this suit costs as you get it by pulling for the major suit, but you should be able to complete it by the first node, so I'll be tagging it as #diamonds: 3-4k and #diamonds: cost varies. That doesn't include recolors, of course.
Tumblr media
There is no makeup, pose, or moveable items for this suit, but the completion reward is diamonds, so that's something. Individual items after the cut!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I hope I can finish the blue recolor because I absolutely love it! What's your favorite suit from this hell?

Shadow | Sam Holland
Pairing: Reader x (platonic or not? you decide) Sam Holland
request: hii, are you currently taking requests? if you are could you please a do a sam imagine where he gets like insecure about toms fame and feels as though he isn’t as good as tom and you like comfort him and it’s super fluffy and kinda angst,, thank you <3
word count: 1.3k 
It’s never easy to only ever be someone’s something. Especially when that someone was the world famous, ever-charming, perfect at everything, Spider-man Tom Holland, and the something was his lousy younger brother.
He’d never say it and if you asked him, he’d deny it but Sam was beyond frustrated, beyond angry, beyond every feeling that could be felt, and now he was just tired.
From growing up in the shadow of Billy Elliot and Lucas—who quite literally did The Impossible—to studying in Tom’s Alma Mater, everywhere Sam went, Tom was there. Tom’s done this, Tom’s done that, Tom’s done everything. Now, what was left for Sam?
It was one thing to live in someone’s shadow, but it was another thing to not know anything but the blinding light of the perfect actor, son, brother Tom Holland. 
And it wasn’t like Sam could ever be mad at Tom. Sam was a nice guy. Despite everything, he could never harbour hate in his heart because he loved his brother as much as he loved himself, sometimes even more. 
But then he’d find himself green with envy and red with frustration, thinking Tom would never have time to even think of feeling such hostile feelings to those he loved. Another thing that Tom did better than Sam.
He turned his head to his pillow and yelled. It didn’t help. It seemed that nothing did. A knock sounded, “Sam! Y/N’s here we’re going out for dinner. Wanna come?” Tom entered the room, smile bright and tone light, completely unaware of Sam’s meltdown.
“I’m good,” Sam mumbled into his pillow, “I’ll order pizza or something.” He sat up to face Tom and put on his best fake smile. 
“Alright, mate. Save me a slice,” Tom sent a small smile before leaving the room. Sam could tell Tom knew something was wrong. Of course, Sam’s acting skills were no match for Tom’s eyes, who was he to even try at this point?
Sam groaned before burying herself in his blankets. He just wanted to sleep. Maybe that was something he could be better than Tom at. Another knock sounded and Sam swore if it was Tom again, he’d lose his shit. 
“I already said, I’m alright,” Sam said, expecting it to be one of his brothers. He turned to see you instead. You sent him a small smile. 
“You sure about that? Pizza alone over a night out doesn’t sound like a Holland thing to do,” you teased. You watched as Sam simply hid his face in his pillow, ignoring you.
“Hey, are you okay?” You took a seat on his bed, reaching a tentative hand out to touch him. He flinched as he felt your hand on his arm. You tried again, this time not at all hesitant. You reached for his hand and he let you.
“I’m fine, just tired,” he said, trying to get you to leave. He appreciated your concern, but he really just wasn’t in the mood to talk about everything. The door opened again and you turned to look. 
“Hey, last chance-,” Tom started before smirking at your loosely held hands, “-woah what’s going on here?” Sam's cheeks flushed as Tom started chuckling. Ever the teasing Tom.
“Div,” you mumbled and threw a small pillow at him who simply caught it then threw it back to land neatly next to you. Sam closed his eyes despite knowing the pillow was enough to completely block his view. He thought maybe Tom could get you to leave Sam alone.
“Harry and I are going ahead, Haz is already there,” Tom said and you nodded. Sam heard the door close again. He felt slightly annoyed that you didn’t just go with Tom, but that didn’t stop the very corner of his mouth to twist up.
“You should go with them,” Sam said. You shook your head and sighed noticing he was still hiding behind his pillow. 
“Hey look at me,” you turned his head to you. “Go get dressed so we can go, alright?” You stood up, expecting him to follow suit. “Come on, you know how impatient Tom-“
“Tom this! Tom that! Can’t anyone go one fucking day without obsessing over Tom Holland!” He yelled, cutting you off. You pulled your hand away in shock. Sam had never been one to raise his voice, not like this, and not to you. Sam immediately regretted his actions. He sat up to apologise but you spoke first.
“Are you jealous of Tom?” There was no teasing tone in your voice, no mocking, no pity, only concern and love for the boy in front of you. Despite his strong, reinforced built-up walls, he felt himself nod. You reached an arm out and pulled him into a hug. You held him tight as he tucked his head into your chest and you wrapped your arms around him as his went around your waist.
A few moments passed before you felt something wet on your arm. Another drop followed the first and suddenly Sam was sniffling, shaking, and tears were flowing down his face. You only held him tighter, a silent promise of ‘i’m here for you’. He tried to speak but all that came out were jumbled and rushed syllables that didn’t make sense. Of all the places to have a breakdown, it had to be in front of you. 
“Hey, hey, it’s okay. We’ll talk when you’re ready,” you said, running your hand through his unruly hair the way you knew he liked. He looked up and smiled at you. It was small but genuine. It was a start.
Slowly but surely everything flowed out of him like a river once cut off, now finally free. Years of bottled up stress, pressure, insecurity, and fear of never living up to the impossibly high standards, all finally solidified, or at least somewhat made formidable, in words and tangents and sentences that he was sure didn’t make sense. You sat through it all, not once letting go of the tight grip you had on him, not that he’d want you anywhere else.
By the end of it, he felt raw, a different kind of tired. He felt lighter, like the holes that once were blocked were now letting the light in, finally letting you in.
“I’m here for you, okay? When the whole world is screaming Tom’s name,” you pulled his head up to lock eyes with him. “I’ll be there, yelling from the tops of my lungs SAM HOLLAND!” You took a deep breath and yelled out his name once, twice, three times before he placed a hand on your mouth to silence you. The familiar heat found its way to his cheeks yet again. 
“And you know I won’t be alone. Harry will be there, Nikki, Dom, Tom, all your friends, all your family, hell even Tessa will bark up a storm for you. And that’s what matters, right?” You said after he removed his hand.
“You’ll never be Tom Holland. No one wants you to be. You’re Sam Holland and that’s more than enough.” You would have gone on but he tackled you into the bed for another hug. You chuckled, finally seeing him lightening up. 
He leaned up on his forearms to look into your eyes as he said, “thank you, Y/N.” You smiled up at him and ruffled his hair. “Anytime, Sammy. Now let’s order some  pizza, I’m hungry.” He laughed as you stood up to get the phone.
He was Sam Holland, and as long as he had you, his friends, and his family in his corner, he’d never want to be anyone else.

DWTS S25 Premiere Week 1 Recap / Review
DWTS S25 Week 1...Here we go..Here we go again
Recaps [Here]
Three Musketeers: Carrie Ann, Len & Bruno are back. You know as much as I love Julianne as a judge & I really do, as well as some guest judges, it’s nothing like the seeing the 3 original still kicking after 25 seasons. 
Only one judge speaking per couple, ehhh right. lol
Next Week: 2 Eliminations & 2 Dances. Monday: Ballroom Night & Tuesday: Latin Night
1.Terrell Owens & Cheryl Burke - Cha Cha (5+5+5=15)
Cheryl was the secret 13th pro, no real surprise, she’s been away for a bit, but they almost always come back (looking at you too Mark Ballas). I’m just gonna put it out there, I’m not the biggest Terrell Owens fan but I won’t let it cloud my judgement of his dancing. I actually think he could do well, DWTS loooves a tall, dark, football player with twinkly toes.. Cheryl is a good pick for him. This was a nice, standard cha-cha for a premiere nothing too exciting, he’s got rhythm & musicality. His footwork was a lot cleaner than expected, obviously could be sharper among other things. He’s kind of flat-footed, but he has the work-hard mentality that could see him trend up mid-season.
2. Debbie Gibson & Alan Bersten - Foxtrot (6+5+6=17) I’m familiar with Debbie’s long career but knowing she struggles with Lyme disease & his pushing herself to the max for this show gives me a whole a new respect for her. Alan has been busting his butt in the troupe & as a stand-in for some seasons so it’s nice to see him get a chance to show his stuff as a pro. Beautiful foxtrot to debut with, her & Alan are cute together. Debbie is very striking on the floor, there are times when she was right on it & then a little stiff and weal posture at times. I can sense a breakthrough coming. 3.Sasha Pieterse & Gleb Savchenko - Cha Cha (6+6+6=18) I have never watched Pretty Little Liars so she’s a virtual stranger to me but I predict she’ll be around for some weeks with the PLL fan-base. She seems to have fun personality. Gleb is not my favorite, he has yet to truly impress me. I think Sasha was holding back her Fierce (prepare for season long Sasha Fierce puns, it’s happening...).She seems to be comfortable out there but hopefully she’ll really let loose sooner than later. There’s a lot more there. Best footwork so far, I just wished they used more of the floor...
4. Drew Scott & Emma Slater - Foxtrot (6+5+5=16) I’m one of the 10 people that don’t watch HGTV, but I do know who the Property Brothers but I don’t have an opinion on them, except Drew is the more attractive one, don’t @ me.  What I do know is Drew got lucky getting paired with reigning champ & DWTS sweetheart Emma. Their popularity should take them far. Easily my favorite choreography of the night so far, it was charming,, on the nose, but pretty jam packed, she made him work more than any other celeb so far. Len is right, that he’s pretty clunky with his feet & hands, hopefully that can be sorted over time. I can’t be too hard on him he had more to do than a lot of celebs. 
5. Barbra Corcoran & Keo Motespe - Cha Cha (5+4+5=14) I’m probably the biggest Shark Tank fan that exist, don’t ask why I just am. So I’m super jacked to see Barabra she’s one of the best and most entertaining sharks. I hope she doesn’t get cut too soon. What can I say about this dance, except I loved every minute of it. I love seeing people live their best life, especially people of a certain age. You got money, power, respect & fame, why not live as much as you can , what’t there to lose? Barbara totally embodies that. This dance definitely had Patti Labelle “In Da Club” vibes. Of course she can greatly improve& I hope she does, but most importantly I hope she continues to have as much fun as possible. 
6. Jordan Fisher & Lindsay Arnold - Tango (8+7+7=22) I’m not a jet setting millionaire so I never saw Hamilton, so I’m not familiar but he’s with Lindsay & that’s enough for me pay attention to him. They seem poised to go really far. He’s charming, cute & has a lot of promise. This tango was fast as we’ve come to like on this show, and pretty sharp. Best footwork, choreography & partnering so far.
7. Nick Lachey & Peta Murgatoryd - Cha Cha (6+6+6=18) Obviously, Nick’s brother Drew won Season 2 with Cheryl but who cares anymore, that was back when the show was less flashy & looked like it was shot on VHS. I’m not really in the mood to hear about this “rivalry” all season. Because, we unfortunately have to focus on Nick vs his wife Vanessa with Maks this season. I was over the competing couples when Alexa Vega & Carlos Pena were on & I’m over it now. It is cute they’re respectively paired with married couple Peta & Maks. Nick is not the most rhythmic celeb, with ironic because Peta is one of the more rhythmic pro’s. He’s stiff but what he lacks in technique, he makes up for in enthusiasm. I’m sensing Vanessa might be the better dancer of the two, at least I’m hoping.
8. Vanessa Lachey & Maksim Chmerkovskiy - Cha Cha (7+7+7=21) I gotta say marriage & fatherhood looks great on Maks. I’m glad my prediction was right, Vanessa is better than Nick. She’s actually really good, one of the best of the night. Maks’ sharp footwork suited her well. Her placement is clean, swift & sharp. One of the most synced partnerships tonight, I want to see her go far.
9. Frankie Muniz & Witney Carson - Foxtrot (7+6+6=19) I haven’t heard much about Frankie since early 2000′s except his car crash some years back but he looks healthy, happy & wealthy (those Malcom in the Middle checks had to be nice). They really benefited from a great, emotional song (Sign of The Times). For someone who once broke his back you couldn’t tell, his extension was really good. To be so shy, Frankie dances very broad, he’s got a great early connection with Witney. Definitely a highlight of the night. 
10. Nikki Bella & Artem Chigventsev - Tango (7+7+6=20) Nikki is about the only name I recognize from the WWE Diva’s. It’ll be interesting to see if she can reign in her dominance to let Artem lead her. Len is absolutely right, her looking down almost ruined the dance, I thought she was uncomfortable at first then I realized she was just watching her feet. When she was in hold it was great, her legs are super long which make for great lines. She’s got great confidence & attack, can Artem contain it? 
11. Derek Fisher & Sharna Burgess - Salsa (6+6+6=18) Derek is Laker legend, I’m excited he’s paired with Sharna who plays no games. NBA players need redemption on this show, Derek might be the guy to do it. His hips & footwork will need work, I think he needs to loosen up more, but he’s super enthusiastic about the whole experience. That ending was super close, Sharna almost ate it..
12. Victoria Arlen & Val Chmerkovksiy - Cha Cha (7+6+6=19) Victoria’s story is remarkable being paralyzed for 10 years, competing in the Paralympics, winning Gold & Silver & learning to walk a year ago & now DWTS & she can’t even feel her legs. Like what are you doing with your life right now? Victoria has a winner’s spirit, she’s incredibly resilient and partner with Val that can take her a super long way. Plus she can actualy dance, there’s no sympathy card in this pairing, Val gave her some challenging choreograph, not just for her situation. The routine was fun, uplifting & matched her spirit and personality. The fact that she can’t feel her legs just blows my mind when watching her dance and sync with Val. The placement was great & clean. These two are ones to watch, she’s got a great story, she’s got Val & she’s got moves. 
13. Lindsey Sterling & Mark Ballas - (7+8+8=22) Lindsey is an incredible violinist who is no stranger to the DWTS stage, having guest performed & she’s also close friends with the Hough / Ballas family already, so this seemed like a natural pairing all around. Obviously great to have Mark and his hair back on the show, he’s a personal favorite with Val. This was by far the single best performance of the night. Quick, sharp & technically sound. Mark took a risk with that hip-hop breakdown but Lindsey murdered it. It was complete flip on what you expected from her as Len noted, something Mark is good for. She’s such a natural and exuberant performer & Mark is such a seasoned pro, it’s a match made in heaven. Honestly, I believe Mark has been robbed many times (Chelsea Kane, Katherine Jenkins, Paige Vanzant) it would be nice to see him win his so long overdue 3rd mirrorball trophy & Lindsey might just be the partner to get it done. Tied for the top with Jordan & Lindsay
Honestly it’s so many celebs that I enjoyed Week 1, I can’t honestly imagine what 2 I would want go home next week.
Next Week: 2 Eliminations & 2 Dances. Monday: Ballroom Night & Tuesday: Latin Night

JERMY FARTZ (S2E4) MASTERPOST: NO BREAKING INTO PARTS, WE SCROLL LIKE MEN
I laugh at that name every time, and I’m not even sorry.
So I haven’t touched the 2 latest episodes because I’m lazy, but this was so much fun that I had to devote some time screaming to it! So get ready kids, because there is screaming (and spoilers) below the cut.
Though first: someone who’s never seen Camp Camp tell me what’s going on in this picture:
Tumblr media
This episode has my favorite people. As in, Gwen and David. Yeah, there’s gonna be a lot of them in this post, and I’m not even sorry.
But first! Have some squished Nikki:
Tumblr media
I love her.
Tumblr media
FACE DOWN BOOTY UP
THAT’S THE WAY WE LIKE TO —
. . . Moving on.
Tumblr media
Can we take a moment to appreciate Max’s sassy little wrist flip?
Also can someone explain to me how Camp Campbell won anything athletic against the Woodscouts? That seems to defy logic.
Tumblr media
There are so many good things going on in this picture, but the most exciting is that GWEN IS SMILING! ACTUALLY SMILING FOR REAL!
Don’t believe me? Look at this saucy little zoom in:
Tumblr media
LOOK HOW HAPPY SHE IS! Also, if we can indulge me for a moment (and I’d like to see you stop me): She’s not smiling because of the game. She’s not smiling because the kids are happy.
That smile is 100% aimed at David.
Girl’s in love, is all I’m saying.
Tumblr media
Nikki, what the fuck are you doing?
Tumblr media
A lot of this is going to literally just be a dumping ground for pictures I think are cute, because I still don’t really understand what a “masterpost” is. So in that vein, Max is cute. Space Kid, in the background: also cute.
Tumblr media
Man, they kinda look like they’re reenacting a super low-budget version of West Side Story, huh? 
But I feel like it needs more ~camp.~
Tumblr media
THERE WE GO! Thanks, David. Always there to sparkle things up when I need you.
Tumblr media
One of the reasons I can’t stand Pikeman — besides the, y’know, all of him — is how he makes David sad. Look at David’s sad sad face and tell me you don’t wanna punch this twerp just a little bit.
Tumblr media
Then again, he also makes Max make this face, and this is a great face.
Allow me to deposit in front of your eyeballs some Davids:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There we go! Aren’t we all feeling a little bit better now?
Tumblr media
I HEARD MY BOYFRIEND COWORKER WAS BEING AN IDIOT AND CAME AS FAST AS I COULD!
Tumblr media
Honestly, “Gwen desperately trying to stop David from doing something really stupid” is one of my favorite dynamics. They continue to be everything I need in life. Looking at this picture caused 75 new Forestwater Gwenvid stories to appear in the AO3 feed. (Ha, no. Wouldn’t that be awful?)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She so badly wants to save him (and her, let’s be real) from himself and I love it.
Tumblr media
And that’s the moment you realize David is an incurable idiot. (Who totally gambles because Mr. Campbell does it and he wants to be like dad.)
Tumblr media
I don’t even have anything to say, I just love this picture to pieces. Every expression is gold.
Here are some cute Davids:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And OH MY GOD LOOK AT MAX’S FACE:
Tumblr media
LOOKIT HIM
HE LOOKS LIKE FUCKING GRUMPY CAT I’M WHEEZING
Tumblr media
I’m not sure what’s the best thing about this: Gwen’s face, how proud David is, or the fact that literally everyone is just d o n e with his bullshit.
(Just kidding. The answer is always Gwen.)
Tumblr media
I have a moral conflict regarding her, because on the one hand I want nothing more than for her to be happy, but on the other . . .
Tumblr media
look
Tumblr media
how great
Tumblr media
her angry faces are.
Tumblr media
Also take a moment and appreciate David. I think something valuable gets broken in his brain this episode, because he makes this face for a solid 45% of it.
Though I mean . . . I’m not complaining. It’s a damn cute face, and he looks like a sad kitten.
(Do I relate all things I find adorable to kittens? Mayhap.)
Tumblr media
1) Gwen is precious. I feel like this is a given at this point but will continue to point it out because I have a need to.
2) What is up with David’s center of gravity? Am I the only person who wouldn’t be able to balance like that?
Let me show you: an emotional breakdown in 4 pictures:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is not a well woman, guys. She’s not holding on to her chill even a little bit.
(Also the way David looks down at his chest after she pokes him in it, like he’s saying “me?” I love him so much, guys. He is kitten.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Davey trying to win the family over with sweet dance moves and a charming smile.
Tumblr media
It doesn’t work.
Though Lordy, I literally made a goose-like honk at Gwen’s face.
(It’s at this point, at 11 p.m. on a work night, that I decided not to break this up into separate parts like I did for the first episode. This might be a terrible idea.)
(Editing this at almost 1 a.m. on a work night: It was a terrible idea.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
These 3 pictures are less than 2 seconds apart. I fucking love the animation on this show.
(And hey, it’s my icon! Hi icon!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Why is beat-up David so attractive? Is it me? Am I just a monster?
Tumblr media
Not a single face here isn’t great. These beautiful babes.
So the general plot of this episode (not that you come here for plot synopses. You come here for pictures and lots of screaming) is that everyone at camp has to be nice for 24 hours or they have to surrender their best camper to the Woodscouts.
It . . .
Tumblr media
. . . doesn’t come naturally to them.
Tumblr media
Wait, no. This is the picture I want described by someone who’s never seen Camp Camp before.
Tumblr media
I cropped out what they’re reacting to in this shot.
That’s because I love you.
(Starting to regret this whole “not breaking into parts thing.” Will I be weak enough to cave? Who knows?)
(Editing note: Nope! I wasn’t! Oops!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Is it me, or is Max more expressive this season? Maybe I just wasn’t paying attention previously, but it seems like his faces are way more entertaining in these most recent episodes.
Tumblr media
In an epic battle of who can be the most charming while leaning, Nikki goes for a classic jazz hands approach that’s sure to impress the judges, Neil opts for a safe routine with minimal leaning but excessive raptor arms (points for originality), and Space Kid brings home the gold because he looks like an old-timey farmer holding up invisible suspenders/overalls, and that’s not easy to accomplish while wearing a space suit made out of cardboard and underwear.
Tumblr media
Observe: 3 Very Angry Beans. You can tell they’re Very Angry Beans because of their Very Angry Mouths. Approach with caution.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I would die for David. Just wanted to throw that out there.
Tumblr media
I wish I didn’t find Max’s suffering so adorable. (Editing note: I also wish I used a thesaurus. Oh well. Hope you like variations on the word “adorable!”)
Then again, I wish I was asleep and also I’d like some carrot cake, so it’s just an evening/early morning of disappointments.
Why golly, is it time for more Gwen faces?! I believe it is!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
AWOOOOOOO
WEREWOLVES OF CAMP CAMP
shut up I think I’m funny
Tumblr media
David’s making The Face. The Face that makes me think something’s broken inside him, because he makes it throughout this entire scene with very few exceptions.
But again, it’s a great face.
(Also look at Nikki and Gwen sizing each other up. Isn’t it cute?)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think my favorite thing about this episode is, like in S2 Ep. 3 — which I’ll get to eventually! — we see Gwen genuinely does care. This is more than just a paycheck for her; she wants the kids to be happy and respect each other, she wants them to learn and even have fun (provided that fun isn’t ruining her life). She’s worried about Jermy, and she trusts and respects the campers to understand what she thought they were doing that was uncool and why.
She’s actually good at her job, and at any other camp she might even enjoy it to some extent. She’s just been very beaten down by the Campbell kids to the point of apathy and, ahem, “crippling anxiety and regret.”
Basically Gwen’s what happens when Max succeeds at what he was trying to do to David all season 1.
Tumblr media
Pfft. Cute. I love Jermy just for the suffering he inflicts on the mains. (Also he’s surprisingly aware of what a disaster he is, without being depressed about it. I can respect that.)
Tumblr media
David’s making that face again.
Why does he keep making that face?
Tumblr media
David’s brain might have gone all Blue Screen of Death, but Gwen’s actually sets on fire:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I feel like maybe I should take back what I said about her being good at her job. She’s still not great with kids, okay? 
But she cares. That’s the important part.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I don’t know if Petrol will get the credit he deserves for this episode, but he’s just pure comedic gold. Every time he shows up it’s fucking funny.

David’s face

David’s moonwalking
Tumblr media
Gwen’s face
(Also: Petrol. Continuing to make me giggle way too loud and disturb my neighbors.)
Tumblr media
If you’ll forgive me a little shipping (and if you’ve scrolled this far, I think it’s pretty clear you’ll forgive basically anything): Look at her soul-crushing despair. That is a face you give someone when you’re close enough to communicate to them without a word.
Okay, I mean what she’s communicating is “kill me,” but I still think it counts. You don’t give that kinda eye contact to a casual acquaintance, is all I’m saying.
I feel like I haven’t properly communicated how much I love every expression this woman makes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Is that clear yet?
Tumblr media
Look how proud David is that his babies are participating!
Tumblr media
This is entirely for @hopefullypessimistic84, who could always use a cute Nerris in her life.

MAX
MY BOY
My favorite part about the next few pictures is how you can clearly see every thought in Gwen’s head as she’s thinking it.
Tumblr media
“All right, you’ll be fine. Just think positive! Be David!”
Tumblr media
“Okay no, don’t be David. Never be David. But remember how much you like not living with your parents! Do it for the rent money!”
Tumblr media
“Yeah, look at you, girl. You got this!”
Tumblr media
“Please don’t let David or Max fuck this up.”
Tumblr media
“Oh, Christ.”
Tumblr media
“Oh, CHRIST.”
Tumblr media
“Literally no one else is gonna take care of this shit. This is your job. You HAVE to.”
Tumblr media
“Still better than living with your parents. Technically.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Petrol continues to be very very good.
Tumblr media
Max pulling out his hair in frustration at having to be nice is a beautiful thing and I want more of it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He is an angry elf.
Tumblr media
NURF! BABY! Why are you sad? You did such a good art! You should be so happy!
Please don’t cry, Nurf. I love you.
Tumblr media
This shot is also for HopefullyPessimistic, and I hope she appreciates it because it was really hard to get. Nerris was onscreen for like 2 seconds and the cup was in her face for most of it.
Petrol.
Tumblr media
Is.
Tumblr media
Hilarious.
He somehow became one of my favorite characters? How the fuck did that happen?
Tumblr media
This show is sometimes just so pretty, guys.
Tumblr media
Pfft.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Some brief Preston appreciation, because I don’t pay him enough attention. With an appearance by Petrol.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
1) David is pure and beautiful.
2) Gwen is fucking done. With everything, but especially David.
3) QM is . . . what’s he doing to his hand? Because it really looks like he’s ripping off his fingernail. That’s . . . I mean, I don’t wanna tell you how to live your life, especially since I’m pretty sure you’re older than most municipalities so clearly you’re doing something right, but I feel like that’s not a great idea, my man.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I didn’t know that Max slowly losing his mind was my aesthetic, but apparently it is because these pictures make me laugh my ass off every time I see them.
Tumblr media
Nurf has Sassy Eyebrows. 
(Editing note: My thoughts started deteriorating around midnight. You might be able to tell by the quality of my commentary.)
Tumblr media
I’m sorry. I know Dolph is a super controversial character and all . . . but goddamn it, he’s cute as fuck. I can’t help but like him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media

Max is such a force to be reckoned with that a dog pile must be created to contain his rage. 
Also I’m not sure where Ered or Harrison’s heads are in that nightmare, but it can’t be comfortable. That’s some serious dedication to the cause, kids. Nikki’s clearly having the time of her life. And Space Kid . . . uh, good effort, I guess?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
These are pictures of a fully-grown man mocking a child who has been put under his care. Does that make them any less adorable?
No. Such is David’s terrifying power.
Tremble before his cuteness, bitches.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“I’m an asshole!”
Tumblr media
But he’s a daggum lovable asshole, isn’t he?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Max’s relief at finally being able to call David a moron and tell him to suck a dick . . . I don’t wanna say he looks like a happy kitty.
Just know I’m thinking it very very loudly.
Tumblr media
What a sweet child.
Tumblr media
Final Petrol appreciation: he still has the whistle in his mouth. He is a good and loyal boy.
Tumblr media
It’s The Face.
Again.
Tumblr media
(Gwen is lovely. As usual.)
Tumblr media
Look at this smug motherfucker. He even makes this little “hmm” noise which is so cute, like everything worked out the way he’d planned it. Anyone who says David isn’t a dick isn’t watching the show closely enough. He’s a selfish douchebag a lot of the time and it’s one of the best things about him.
Tumblr media
Yes, Gwen. That is the appropriate reaction. (Also she backhanded him. That was no open-palm affair; that’s knuckles in his cheekbone. Gwen’s cold.)
Oh, and sorry about the volume slider. If it wasn’t 12:30 in the morning I’d totally fix that.
Tumblr media
David makes a sad little “eunghh” sound when she hits him. It is also too precious for words.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Look at his hair floof! Look how it floofs!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(there is a nervous giggle here. I melted)
Tumblr media
I once saw a man so beautiful I started crying?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Something these pictures will never be able to accurately communicate:
1) The way there’s this lovely light 1980s-sitcom Very Special Episode music playing in the background, like David’s going to impart a moral. (Spoiler: he doesn’t)
2) The way Miles’ voice kept cracking like a fa — a bunch of pine birch sticks this whole episode. You might be surprised to find that I think it’s adorable. I’m not sure how you possibly could be surprised by that, but you might be.
Tumblr media
“Maybe I AM an asshole.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Just . . . sometimes, okay?! Sometimes!”
The best moral and possibly my new favorite line to randomly quote.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
LOOK AT THE BLUSHY BOY
LOOK HOW HANDSOME HE IS
HOW PURE
HOW FLUSTERED
WATCH HIM STORM OFF WITH THAT LITTLE ANGRY POUT
HE’S PROBABLY OFF TO ANGRY-CRY AND WRITE IN HIS DIARY
MAYBE CALL HIS MOM AND ASK IF SHE’S DISAPPOINTED IN HIM
HE IS THE SWEETEST
Even if I didn’t love every minute of the episode leading up to this (and I do), these last 5 seconds would absolutely skyrocket it to one of my favorites of the entire show. Just look how fucking cute this is. Look at it!
David is bad at being a person and we love him for it.
And here ends the longest, stupidest thing I’ve ever written. I’m genuinely curious to see if anyone made it all the way through. If you did . . . you deserve a cookie or something. Definitely mention in the tags or send me an ask saying you did, because I wanna know who’s almost as nerdy and lame as I am!
