maybe psychology and psychiatry should start listening to mentally ill people. just an idea

How'd Pascale react when she sees Checo and her daughter sleeping on the couch and then next morning getting told everything?

Pascale would be giggling and shit /j

Since the day before Mama Leclerc was out of the house, maybe went out with friends or something that kept her out for the whole day. So when she came home and went to the living room to be greeted by you and Checo cuddling on the couch, she let out the biggest smile. She was right about your boyfriend being a driver, though she had a few guesses who, she never thought it would be the Mexican Racing Point driver.

But before she did anything, she went to her room and freshened up. After that, she went down preparing breakfast for the six of them. The first to wake up from her kids is Lorenzo. The moment he walked in the kitchen, he greeted his mother, kissing her cheeks before getting water from the refrigerator.

Maman trying to hold back her smile, asked Lorenzo what you and Checo were doing that had you both ending up on the couch cuddling. As Lorenzo was about to answer, he was interrupted by a cheerful Arthur who was followed by a sleepyhead Charles letting out a yawn. The younger boys greeted their mother, kissing her cheek like Lorenzo did.

Once they all settled down, Lorenzo started talking about everything that took place yesterday the moment your boyfriend dropped by unannounced. Maman smiled widely when she listens to his eldest speak protectively about his only sister, it made her feel like she did something right. As Lorenzo continued telling everything that happened, Arthur and Charles would often interrupt, adding information from what their older brother is saying.

When they finished, Maman thanked her sons for being there to their sister, always having her back. Then Pascale asked her kids to help her set the table as she finished cooking their breakfast. Washing her hands after placing the food on the table, she went to the living room and sat on the single-seater couch where Checo sat yesterday when he was being interrogated by your brothers.

She smiled to herself, thinking how much you and Checo reminded her of herself and Papa Leclerc when they were dating. She watched as you snuggled closer to your significant other while Checo just wrapped his arm around your shoulder. She let out a soft chuckle as she saw the domestic actions unfold.

Lorenzo called upon their mum that the table was set and they can eat, but the eldest said it too loud that it startled you.

Falling asleep on the couch last night, you had not expected to wake up with your mother sitting across you, a wide grin plastered on her face. Your sudden movement stirred your boyfriend from his sleep. Looking at him, you saw him scrunching his eyebrows as his eyes adjusted to the bright light before his expression turned into confusion. He stared at your mother before rubbing his eyes, thinking he might be hallucinating. But when he saw that she was still there, he swiftly moved away from you, scared at the thought of Maman scolding him or worse, you.

When Pascale saw what happened, she let out a light chuckle before sighing and standing up. She went pass Checo’s side of the couch, patting his shoulders and whispered that it was okay, before she spoke this time to the both of you that breakfast was ready.

Checo scrambled from the couch, his cheeks flushed as he gets flustered from the thought that both of you were caught by your mother cuddling in the living room. You watched him internally panic as you stood up from your place, kissing his cheek and taking a hold of his hand before letting out a small smile and assuring him that your mum meant no harm.

Pascale called out for both of you again when you didn’t go to the dining room and this time you drag Checo to the room and guiding him to sit on the chair beside you.

While breakfast was ongoing, Checo was on the hotseat again, but this time getting interrogated by your mother. As your mother inquires your significant other different questions, you can see him squirm nervously on his chair and so you placed your hand on his thigh and patted it assuringly that he won’t answer anything wrong.

After breakfast and Maman seemingly satisfied with your boyfriend’s answer, she went to his side and pulled him up from his chair as she gave Sergio a hug and a kiss on the cheek, welcoming him into the family and even referring to him as her future son-in-law. You let out a huge sigh of relief as Checo passed your family’s test.

But little did you know after the kiss on the cheek, Maman threatened Checo quietly that if he ever decided to hurt her daughter, he should be prepared for the consequence. And he gulped hard like something was dislodged in his throat before nodding slowly.

american moots just starting to wake up for the day save me......... save me american moots just starting to wake up for the day

Van can’t die from cancer, she needs to live long enough to see Mean Girls (2024)

I can't believe my most liked tumblr post is just a mini comic about sir pentious getting the egg bois back because I couldn't handle the thought of them not going to heaven with him

Thinking about, inferring based on what we know so far, how a major theme for TWC Book 3 might be family. Their families in their past/recent past:

A’s family taken from them

N unable to return to their family

M unable to remember their family

F having to leave their family

The detective who never got to know their father and their mother who was not involved

An how there is an emphasis on this found family through unit assignment - hundreds of years in the making - and now, with the detective. How they’ll navigate it all and how much they all really need it and appreciate it

decked out 2 artifacts are perfection, but ethos just gets me. all of them are just a love letter from tango to his friends and I adore it

etho having won decked out 1 and his artifact (aside from tangos own) being the most powerful. him being one of the first original hermits. one of the first who started mc and redstone as we know it

"You left us everything but still you're leaving us more

We're walking down the roads that you walked down before

You never give in

You know who you are, you are the Everknown

You shine on, you shimmer

We'll follow you on to wherever you go"

Some people have been sharing my old works on twitter and it made me kind of emotional.

It made me realize how many drawings I made since 2022 🥺 I want that energy and inspiration to draw as much again...

Yes growing up is terrifying and bitter and tragic and I will always cherish the innocence and simplicity of my childhood years but right now I'm alive and well and happy and loved more than I've ever been before.

Nice Ask Week! Mar, if you could make the Lone Star writers include ONE THING in season 5, what would you ask for?

I was in the middle of writing a whole list bc I “couldn’t pick just one” but! BUT!! I HAVE ONE ACTUALLY!! I WANT TARLOS TO VISIT THE REYES RANCH (lol I forget, is the Reyes Ranch even canon or is it just so unanimously fanon that it feels like it is?) either way… I NEED CARLOS ON A HORSE SO BAD !! I NEED TK TO SEE CARLOS ON A HORSE SO BAD!!! I NEED THEM TO GO TO SUNDAY LUNCH, OR A WEDDING OR BIRTHDAY AND LAUGH AND JOKE AND BEING THE COOLEST FUNNEST UNCLES FOR ALL THE KIDS RUNNING AROUND!!!

I NEED Carlos’ sisters to tease him in front in TK. I NEED for Carlos to teach TK horseback riding and either be impressed by his city-slicker(🤣) boyfriend and take him to a romantic spot Or for this exact thing that @lemonlyman-dotcom describes in this post to happen😂 I also NEED for one or both of them to go all heart eyes at seeing the other with the kids or just for Carlos to see TK being casual and charming and familiar with the Reyes family🥹 also BONUS POINTS if someone gets injured, or goes into labor, or one of the kids gets sick in some way, and TK flashes his paramedic skills, just flexes those paramedic muscles you know? 🚑💪

Here’s what I want: I want the ranch to go up for sale. Gabriel should have been the one to inherit it, and he and Andrea were to move there come his retirement. Obviously Gabriel wasn’t doing all the ranch work (he was a Texas Ranger so he wouldn’t have the time) - there were workers and some of Carlos cousins working on it, Gabriel just had the overall picture of what needed to be done, ongoing and future projects etc, took care of some legal and tax matters and so on.

Carlos has one cousin who is studying to be a vet and taking side courses in some other important and relevant subject when it comes to owning a ranch and the plan all along was that she was gonna take it over at some point from Gabriel and Andrea but she is still in school and the sad truth is someone needs to take over the legal ownership and the tasks that Gabriel did until then or it will have to go up for sale. Legally the inheritance would go directly to Carlos and his sisters, and his sisters are ready to be co-owners and split the tasks until it’s ready to move on the family line. But they need Carlos to be with them on it, partly because he lives the closest and knows the ranch best because Gabriel took him there a lot when he was younger, partly because Tía Lucy has said that that is the only option (in order to force to Carlos to reckon with his past with Gabriel because she is a spiritual woman who knows stuff)

Because the thing is, Carlos’ childhood memories of the ranch are more ambiguous than his sisters’. He has fond memories of it but it also reminds him of a time where he didn’t feel like he could show his true self and be seen by his family, where he didn’t think that his dad was proud of him, and where he would look at all his family members bringing long terms and new partners and kids to lunch and parties and think that this is something he would never have for himself🥺

TK and Carlos are invited to an upcoming facility party on the ranch, and TK talks Carlos into going there a few days before under the pretense that he just thinks they both need a few vacation days and with suggestive comments about how badly he wants Carlos to take him horseback riding 🐴 and then ride Carlos in a field of blooming daffodils😏🌼 but really he suspects the truth about Carlos mixed feelings toward the ranch and thinks that Carlos would benefit from confronting and processing some of those feelings and memories, that also connects to his grief for Gabriel.

So they go, and everything above mentioned transpires, giving Carlos some good healing memories associated with the ranch + some Carlos grieving and reminiscing and processing and talking to TK about it all who listens and wipes at his tears and rubs his back and kisses his salty wet lips and his forehead (idk if this happens before or after TK rides him in a field of daffodils).

It all ends happily with Carlos agreeing to take temporary co-ownership over the ranch and having processed a lot of stuff related to his past and his relationship with Gabriel 😌😌

The forementioned list that I was originally writing before I remembered my Reyes Family Ranch wish continues beneath lol

It may be boring but I really want some domesticity!! I want to see them wake up together, or go to bed, or more about which tv shows they watch or if one of them keeps the other up reading romance novels or them fighting about the other always forgetting to take the trash out. I want a look into their routines!

I am also a sucker for tenderness and h/c like many people in this fandom, but controversially I don’t especially wish for one of them to end up in the hospital.. 🫣 like I mean I don’t not want it I’d just rather have them be tender with each other in everyday life scenarios like one of them have a tough day at work and be snuggled by the other, or have one help the other put clothes on or shower or get into bed because they got injured in some way, or Carlos being hungover and gross and feeling guilty about it bc TK’s sobriety or either of them being sick and gross or just grumpy or otherwise unreasonable and the other loving them and anyway and caring for them🥹

Apart from this I am also a huge sucker for open conversation about and realistic depictions of sexuality, so unrealistically as it may be, casual comments about the realities of gay s*x, embarrassing or awkward things happening like failing with trying something new (maybe in some silly episode where they get inspired by some call or something), them going through a dry spell or getting to comfy in a routine that isn’t as exciting as the beginning of their relationship, stuff like that!

And okay, lastly, I want them to have a conversation about Carlos buying the loft, not telling TK about about Iris for so long and lying about where he was going when he ended up at the Keyes house and how that probably all relates to his mechanism of defense and way to feel secure is to take control and go all solitaire because those things still nag at me and I need resolve.

This ended up so long omg I am so sorry but I can’t cut it bc I WANT IT ALLL😭

Thanks so much for the Nice Ask!!!!!!!☺️☺️

In the wise words of Taylor Alison Swift:

In the equally wise words of Sabrina Carpenter:

no, because really, is a child not making eye contact with you such a crime?? is them not noticing you're there blasphemous? because at that point, it's clear the issue is that they aren't doing what YOU want, expect and are comfortable with/used to

Sergio and Charles just waiting to see if you're okay after your crash while also anxiously waiting for Lorenzo to call them just to see you emerge standing, injured but standing and them panicking but also sweet relief before Maman Leclerc comes and reprimands Lorenzo for not directly calling but also hugging him while Arthur and you try to joke about it.

OH DEFINITELY!

Maman would just reprimand Lorenzo and then pull him in a hug saying that if there’s a next time (they were praying that there isn’t), Lorenzo should call them because they’re a family and they should always have one another.

You being the second born and Arthur being the youngest, you were both chaotic together. So it was only natural that both of you started teasing Lorenzo, Charles, and Checo about how their faces looked like when you crashed. Maman could only sigh in disbelief, wondering how you have the energy to joke around when you just crashed. Lorenzo pinched his nose and shook his head. While Charles who was sitting on the couch and Checo sitting beside you on the bed, holding your hand and caressing the back of it with his thumb as they both watched everything in amusement.

my husband, reiner braun, would’ve had me bedded and bred by this hour of the evening

Something I feel like we don’t talk about enough is how Ava Sharpe is “the perfect woman” and Sara Lance is “the quintessential human” and they’re both queer

jordan li was made for the trans community - specifically for trans asians like myself

the entire conversation with their dad is something that is so personal to me

“i feel like you shift to a girl just to spite me”

i just got top surgery after being socially transitioned for 7+ years and my dad has been treating me…differently. he’s never used my pronouns, but each she/her hurt more than before now that I feel so much more affirmed in my body. he is visibly uncomfortable with my existence and body now so much more than before. he’s not nor will he ever make an attempt with me. and while ive accepted that, it still fucking hurts

so that line hit me real fucking hard and deep and that’s why jordan is so important to the trans community. idk if the show as well as derek luh and london thor realized the impact jordan would have on their trans audience but im so glad that there is a character like them in popular media right now
