I was asked to tell more about the holidays in my legacy gameplay, so here is a super long and detailed post on the subject! 😊
How I use holidays in my game
I used to hate the holidays, cos I saw them as something my sims had to participate in and there was always so much pressure to complete all the traditions! But then I cracked it...
Holidays are a great way to add objectives to gameplay! When every day is some kind of a holiday with its own theme, there's always something for my sims to do.
I tick the "day off" box only if the holiday is a major one or the traditions would feel too rushed if my sim worked on the same day.
I try to have a lot of outdoor/traveling holidays in the spring and summer, and more home lot based holidays in the autumn and winter.
For some holidays, I add a diverse set of traditions and then choose only one or two to complete every sim year.
Sometimes my sims are just too busy with other things in life to participate at all. The No more "awful holiday" sad moodlet mod (linked below) is super useful because it completely takes the pressure off of completing holiday traditions!
It's very refreshing to use custom icons for the holidays, it matters more than you'd think! I use the More selectable icons mod (linked below) for this feature.
I've taken ideas and inspiration for some of my holidays from countless lists made by other simmers over the years.

More holiday ideas
If you want to create your own holidays, but struggle with coming up with ideas, here are some things I always consider when I create holidays.
Can you match a world with a season? Summer holidays in Sulani, winter holidays in Mt. Komorebi, etc.
Alternatively, have a summer holiday in Sulani when it's winter elsewhere, a winter holiday in Mt. Komorebi when it's summer elsewhere, etc.
What if you took the default holidays and placed them in a different season? Celebrate Winterfest on the beach in the summer!
Can you match a world with a theme? Nature holidays in Granite Falls, city holidays in San Myshuno, etc.
Think of a simple theme for your holiday (games, sports, food, animals, books, etc.) and choose traditions based on that.
Create a holiday that requires your sim to travel from world to world to complete all the traditions.
Have a 3 day holiday for a vacation trip, with different traditions to complete each day.
Create holidays for specific life stages. What would a teen or an elder sim do for their holiday?
Create a holiday for each occult type. How would a Spellcaster spend their holiday?
Can you think of a way to combine holidays and clubs?
Put two really different holidays right next to each other so you have lots of variety in gameplay.
If you're playing a legacy, create a holiday for each heir sim based on their personality, and have their offspring celebrate these holidays to honor them.
Research real life holidays that are celebrated around the world to find new ideas.
Can't find the traditions that you need in your game? Follow this tutorial by LittleMsSam to create your own traditions!

this is such an adorable idea omg, my mind started racing. there's not enough outdoor garden cc and this would be a perfect addition to my save file
the swingset clubhouse monkey bar thing could maybe be made from the kids pirate ship?? i'd have to look at the rig and animations but it's probably possible
i could clone the glass floor from island living to make wooden planks that you could see through, to the ground beneath. then the grill, sandbox, pool, plastic lawn furniture, a old sagging wooden fence. a sort of mildewed wooden tool shed. and lil red wagon with slots for flowers or toys. one of those plastic hose reels. piles of unraked leaves. a dirtier, grungier treehouse with a rope ladder
and i can't animate very well but i would give anything to be able to make a functional tire swing. like that one from ts2
i make no promises… but i am writing all of these ideas down in my wip folder. and all of my sets usually start in there with an unhinged collection of sentence fragments

His Princesa 2
part 1 part 2 part 3
a dominik mysterio x reader series.
angst,light fluff towards the end(sorta),toxic relationship,google translate used,TRIGGER WARNING ABUSE MENTIONED.
word count:669
Without you two knowing of the recording,you met up with the judgement day since it was an off day for you all. Rhea had only showed Priest the recording,to which they both were shocked but not that shocked. Finn was unaware of the whole situation,just as you two were. So when you both showed up together,Rhea was all giggles. You had all planned to go out for lunch and then to a park,just to chill like you used to do back home with Rhea(y’all are childhood friends). “Hey guys! So where are eating” “That Mediterranean Grill place,heard it’s good” You and Priest conversed. Everyone agreed on the spot so we went.
fast forward.
“That was so delicious! We have to go there again if we ever come back here” Dom spoke very happy and pleased with the food. You giggled at his reaction when all the sudden Rhea yanked you off the slide and dragged you to the swings. “Rhea what the f-“ “Listen. I saw you and Dom making out or whatever last night,you have to break up with your boyfriend. Also I told Priest” she ran off giggling. You stood there for a minute in shock. ‘shit. she shouldn’t have saw that’ you thought,as you pulled out your phone texting your “boyfriend”.
You - ‘Hey,Chris listen I need to tell you something. I don’t think this relationship is really working,you are constantly out drinking and cheating on me. I can’t do this anymore with you
{Chris .} - ‘(your name) what the fuck. I was gonna come out there to see you,Im already here matter of fact and you tell me this bullshit? man forget it,it’s over with.’
You looked at your phone for a minute before putting it in your pocket,walking back over to everyone. “Hey you ok? You seem off.” Dom asked concerned. You shook your head and smiled,”Yea I’m fine just a little tired that’s all”. He didn’t believe you but didn’t wanna ask anymore questions. You were all having fun and smiling when you heard someone call your name,you turned your head around and your heart sank. It was Chris,the one person you didn’t wanna see at this point especially since you were laid up on Dominik. Rhea paid attention to your expression and could tell you were scared. “What the fuck is wrong with you!?” Chris yelled as he charged at you,your heart began racing and you flinched when he got close to you. No one knew that he had put his hands on you before,not even your best friend Rhea. So when you flinched,they immediately knew what the situation was. Priest jumped off the monkey bars and got in between the two of you. Dom held you close as you began having a panic attack,he drew three circles on your back and on your hand which always calmed you down. He lifted you up and got you out of the area they were in,as he spoke,”Princesa.. ¿Cuánto tiempo?” he asked. You were hesitant to answer but decided to tell the truth,”Cuatro meses..” you softly spoke. You could see the expression on his fece completely change,to a very concerned and worried look. He hugged you tight as the rest of the Judgement day came over to the spot you were in. “Hey listen Ima take her back home,she’s uncomfortable right now” he said as he turned to them with you in his arms,they all nodded and let him go take you to your car. “They’re so cute together” Finn said trying to lighten the mood,which it did. “Yea totally. Not after what i witnessed last night” Rhea rolled her eyes as Finn stared at her,”The fuck did you see?” “They were making out! Right in front of me after I woke up from my nap.” Finn began laughing while Rhea just stared at him. “Not funny.”

Flying Monkeys
kai parker x reader | requested by @chocolatepalacecloudhoagie
summary: kai mentions in passing that he can fly a plane. you challenge him to prove it.
tags: based on s06e08: Fade Into You, small drug references, flying / aircrafts, kai being confused by someone caring about him, developing friendships, implied possible future friends to lovers
word count: 2.5k
a/n: i wrote half of this when you sent that ask and totally forgot about it until this afternoon. i have so many requests i need to finish, it's so bad 💀 but i hope this is what you were looking for!!
“I don’t believe you.”
“It’s true!”
“There’s no freaking way; you’re totally bluffing.”
“I am not! Hey, if you need proof, ask Bonnie.”
You glance over at Bonnie, who’s sitting on the opposite side of the restaurant. She dines with one of her best friends, the both of them desperately needing a drink, they had announced. You originally went with them, but upon spotting Kai at the bar, abandoned their company to talk to the young witch. Damon begged you not to; he wanted you nowhere near him, yet you can’t help your interest in the boy.
“Why would she know?” You ask instead.
“‘Cause I flew her from Mystic Falls back to Portland.”
“Willingly?”
“No, I had drugged her.”
“Kai!”
“She didn’t give me much of a choice! I had to get out of that stupid prison world, and she wasn’t going to let me out unless I manipulated my own way out. Unfortunately, I needed to use her to escape.”
A sigh leaves your lips. As much as you want to hate him for torturing her, you can’t blame his desperate need to get out of that hell. You hadn’t been in the prison world, but by the way the pair describe it, it’s a terrible place to be. To be stuck there for eighteen years, and then denied your only chance at freedom? Not to mention, Kai’s a sociopath who struggles with the way he’s supposed to feel about other people, and he’s insanely lacking in his social skills. What he did isn’t okay - not by a long-shot - though you can understand what drove him to do it.
“Are you mad at me?” He asks, taking a sip of his drink.
You cock your head, surprised by the question. “No, I just…”
“Hurting her was never my plan, I just needed to get out.”
Maybe it’s the alcohol talking. Maybe it's the effects of the merge.
Regardless of which, you take it as a sign that Kai’s warming up to you. In that moment, you decide not to crush his tiny seed of trust.
“...can’t believe you flew a plane,” you finish, changing the topic.
Kai smiles. “But I did! It wasn’t a big one, it was a Cessna. One pilot - obviously, since I was the only one flying anything - and not meant for super long distances. Stopped for gas midway.” Then he mutters, “gave her a little more gas, too, so she’d sleep through it.” You ignore that part. “But I can promise you, I know how to fly.”
“You’ll have to prove it to me.”
“Yeah, I doubt anyone’s going to let that happen. I definitely don’t have a legal flying license.”
“We’ll convince Damon to compel someone to let you.”
“Something tells me he won’t support that.”
“All I’m hearing are excuses to keep you out of a cockpit.”
Your challenging tone has him straightening his posture. “You really don’t believe me?”
“Not one bit.”
“Fine. Then I will prove it to you.”
~~~~~
A week later, you’ve successfully convinced Damon to one, let Kai fly a plane short distance from one small airport to another; two, let you ride with him, and three; compel a pilot to let him borrow a plane, as well as compel everyone who would typically be involved to pay no attention to the unattended aircraft that will inhabit two runways and the open sky for roughly thirty minutes total.
Bonnie, to say the least, is not happy about this plan. When you and Kai first approached their table in the grill to discuss it, she was pissed. Now, as Damon drives the three of you to the airport, she’s still lecturing you on the dangers of not only flying with an unlicensed flier, but for said flier to be Kai Parker, of all people.
But to her dismay and Kai’s surprise, you shrug her off, promising you’ll be fine.
“Okay,” Damon says, parking his car. “I’ve secured thirty minutes for you two dumbasses to do this. The flight distance is twenty miles, so your actual time in the sky should only be-”
“-about ten minutes,” Kai interrupts, “I know. I know what I’m doing.”
Damon ignores him and continues, “giving you ten minutes to start up, ten to fly, ten to land. I did some research of my own when you proposed this completely diabolical plan to me.”
“It’s not-”
“Do it quickly,” he ignores again, “and keep her safe.”
“Maybe compel him for that part,” Bonnie says.
“Smart.” Damon puts a hand on Kai’s shoulder.
Kai shrugs him off. “You don’t need to compel me. I’ll keep her safe, I promise.”
Damon looks over to you.
“I trust him,” you affirm.
The man stares at you like you’ve grown a second head.
“I’ll be okay,” you tell him, trying to ease his nerves. It doesn’t appear to work, but you don’t try again. “Kai?”
“Hm?”
“Ready?”
“Yep. See you guys in thirty.”
The plane is sitting in the middle of the runway, left alone with the keys, after Damon had compelled its owner away on a “super serious mission,” in which, if the man didn’t run inside and make Bonnie a coffee with specifically one and a half packs of sugar and a dash of peppermint mocha creamer, his new boss would fire him on the spot. Then, by the time he comes back and you and Kai are already in the sky, he’ll compel him to not freak out, but go to the neighboring airport for his plane, because it had been taken over by flying monkeys.
Damon recites the second part of his plan as the pair of you climb into the plane. Bonnie rolls her eyes at him. None of you comment.
“If I didn’t know any better, I’d say he’s having fun,” Kai says once out of earshot.
“Oh, he definitely is.”
Down below, Bonnie finally mutters, “I don’t even like peppermint mocha.”
“Well then I guess he’ll get fired.”
The girl rolls her eyes again. “Do you think she’ll be okay?”
“Y/N? With him? Hell no.” He sighs. “The minute our poor, actual, pilot comes back, we’re getting to that airport quickly.”
“Alright,” Kai sits down in the cockpit. You go to the seat beside him. “Put your seatbelt on.”
You fight the urge to giggle as he practically commands you to be safe. It’s so un-Kai-like. Then again, he is taking you five thousand feet into the air.
“Okay,” he starts pointing to all the little instruments, “this is the speed, this is the altitude, this is the height above sea level, this is the rate of turn, this is the compass, and this is the vertical speed.”
“How high above sea level are we right now?”
“Five hundred and ninety-four feet.”
“Ah.”
“These controls have a lot of explanation, and I better start so Damon doesn’t yell at me, but I can talk about them another time. Briefly, pedals down here, steering wheel - or yoke, in fancy people terms - here, throttle, and what controls the wings.” He points to the right of all that. “Communication stuff that I don’t use, to talk to other pilots, confirm take-off and landing and weather conditions and all that. Navigational systems.” He points to the left for those. “Ready?”
“Mhm.”
“Are you scared?”
“No.” Just a little.
“Do you trust me?”
“Yes.” Hopefully that’s the right choice.
“Okay. Up we go.”
The boy quiets as he starts up the plane. You can’t help but admire his concentration.
Kai manages the controls carefully, and before you know it, you’re lifting off the ground. Your hand flies to the side door, gripping the handle bar subconsciously.
“You okay?” He peeks over at you. He could practically feel you tense up, although he expected you would.
“Mhm,” you nod.
He’s not entirely convinced, but there’s nothing he can do about it now. He continues gaining altitude, and before you know it, you’re completely in the sky.
“You still good?”
“Yeah.”
“Need any sleeping pills?”
“Kai!”
“I’m just joking!”
You look over and playfully roll your eyes at his teasing, dimpled face. He’s glad he’s cute, otherwise there’s no way you would’ve actually gone through with this idea. Thinking about it now, it’s totally crazy - letting a boy you barely know fly you into the sky when he doesn’t even have a license. But for some reason, you trust him, and as he effortlessly controls the plane as it travels through the blue beyond, you’re confident about placing your trust in him.
Although… your friends down below are probably losing their shit…
“How high are we?” You ask, distracting yourself from that thought. No reason to worry about it now.
“You sure you want to know?” He laughs.
“Hit me.”
“Oh, alright,” he checks the meter, “about eight thousand feet up.”
When your eyes go wide, he chuckles. “Scared?”
“I trust you,” you assure both him and yourself.
That answer seems to relax him. A gentleness settles in his eyes, brightening the usual gray to a color more like that which surrounds you. Your grip on the door handle eases up, and you ride in silence for a while, appreciating the journey.
After a couple of minutes, he announces, “coming up on the airport.”
“Already?”
“It was only about a ten minute flight.”
“Damn.”
“Do you think we’ll see our unhappy co-conspirators on the ground?”
You snort, then immediately cover your mouth. Kai only smiles. “Definitely. Shaking their heads and rolling their eyes.”
“Surprised I didn’t crash the damn thing.”
“Or kidnap me.” He starts to laugh, but then pauses, unsure if you’re joking. But then you start to laugh at your own joke and he takes it as a sign that he can laugh along with you. “Guess this means I believe you… you really can fly a plane.”
“Don’t praise me yet, we haven’t landed.”
“What?!”
“Easy, I’m kidding. Landing will be just as smooth as take off was. I’ve gotcha.”
And it is. He skillfully lands the plane with minimal roughness, and maintains a good distance away from the distraught-looking pair. When he turns off the engine, he throws you the keys and a wink.
You barely catch them, then let out a laugh. “I’ll admit, I’m impressed.”
“Why thank you, Y/N.”
“So how did you learn, really?”
“Books, manuals, and lots of trial and error.”
“How bad of an error?”
“Died once or twice… or more… but I couldn’t actually die in the prison world, so I’d just crop back up and try again.”
“Ouch.”
He shrugs. “But that’s all over now.”
“You have to be more careful to avoid situations that could get you hurt now.” He narrows his eyes at you, making you confused by his reaction. “No more trial and error anything. If you’re not in the prison world, you’re susceptible to getting hurt, or worse, and I’m not letting that happen on my watch.”
“I’m on your watch now?”
“Well… yeah.” You shrug, “I mean, in terms of reckless behavior, yeah. You’re my friend, and I want you to be able to live now that you’re not stuck in that Groundhog Day world, but in order to do that, you have to be safe and avoid situations where you could get hurt.”
“You consider me a friend?”
“Is that okay?”
“Yes,” he answers quickly, “I’ve just… never had a friend before.”
“Well you do now. And your friend is super impressed by your flying skills, but wants you to stay safe, too, okay?”
“Okay.”
“Good.”
“But you weren’t scared, right? This wasn’t brought on because you thought I was gonna crash, was it?”
“‘Course not, I had full faith in you the entire time. I only got worried when you said you died trying to learn.”
“Oh.”
“So no more of that, right? You can impress me with all the skills you already know, but no more near-death experiences. Promise?”
“I promise.”
“Thank you. I-” Your next words are cut off by your own scream as someone knocks on the plane door. Looking down, you see Damon reaching up.
“Get on out of there, you lovebirds. We have to return this plane to its actual pilot.”
“Ugh.” You both roll your eyes, but listen to the man. Kai comes around to your side as soon as he’s out. He puts a stabilizing hand on your shoulders, which comes in handy when you stumble with your first step.
“You okay?” Both men ask at once.
“Good. I always trip when I leave airplanes, too.”
A few feet away stands an annoyed looking Bonnie. “Glad to see you’re still alive.”
“Glad to see you, too, Bon. Alive and well.”
“You could’ve-”
Her retort is interrupted by the pilot running over for his keys. “Those flying monkeys! Have they returned my plane?!”
Damon tosses the keys to him. “Yep, good as new! Not a scratch!”
“Oh, thank god! Thank god. I was afraid I’d never see it again. If you find those monkeys, can you tell them I’m really upset, and that they need to go away?!”
“Of course I will. You have a good day.” The pilot runs away and Damon turns towards you and Kai. “You heard the man, time to go.” He shuffles you into the car, stuffing you both in the backseat again, Bonnie in the front, and starts the drive back to town.
The forty minute drive is quiet, everyone too afraid to get on Bonnie’s nerves, but you and Kai text in the back.
y/n: thank you again for the flight. i enjoyed it very much!
kai: i’m glad you let me show you my skills :)
kai: but i’ll keep your promise, no more dying
y/n: good
kai: thanks for the friendship. i’m glad to have you
y/n: me too
y/n: i knew i was gonna like you the minute damon complained about you
y/n: after he got out of the pw
kai: what did he say??
y/n: that you were talkative and annoying and seemed like just the type of person i would befriend
y/n: appears he was right
y/n: except for the annoying part
kai: huh. the talking doesn’t annoy you?
y/n: no i like hearing you talk, plus i know you were isolated for a long time, and i would like to be a person you’re comfortable talking to
kai: wait, really?
“Why are you smiling?” Damon’s voice cuts through the silence. He eyes Kai through the back mirror.
“Me?”
“Yes, you.”
“Ummm…”
“Because I told him what you said when you got out of the prison world about me befriending him. Seems you were right.”
“I said that as a joke.”
“Yet you hit it right on the nose.”
Damon huffs. “Well I also said he was annoying, and that’s true, too.”
“Maybe, but it just so happens that I like his,” you use quotation marks with your fingers, “‘annoying’ qualities, just as much as I like the rest of him, too.”
“It’s your headache, Y/N.”
You only shrug.
y/n: yes, i do like hearing you talk, and i do like even the ‘annoying’ parts about you
y/n: they’re kind of endearing, actually
Kai tries to ignore the weird fluttering-like symptom in his stomach and nervously replies,
kai: thank you
kai: i like you too

The Friendship between: Vlad and Jack
Only a few months after Giga/Saiwa and Jack had been rescued from the Lab and moved to the Space (Balls) Bar & Grill & 'Residence', Ms Coombes brought traumatized Vlad there too. (He had to helplessly witness the murder of his first love Wesley).
That was when Vlad met Jack for the first time. Vlad was 17 then and Jack 16 (as I write this, they are 20 and 19 years old). I think Jack helped Vlad with his puppy nature to get over this and their amazing chemistry helped them to become best friends. Jack and Vlad have the closest friendship of all of my Sims.
Jack didn't leave Vlad's side when he became weaker and weaker from Ji Ho's poisonous blood and had been devastated when he died shortly after.
And they had an epic reunion when they brought Vlad back from hell a few months later (they are both big Star Wars fans).
And when Jack fell in his coma, it was Vlad who didn't leave Jack's side.
And he even tried to reach Jack in his coma to bring him back.
They had to overcome a few hardships but nothing could taint their friedship. (Romance level: Below Zero).
EXCEPT for that faithful day when Vlad decided to bond with Morgan to spare Ji Ho from their Bond Magic... Sai and Jack had been so mad at him, they didn't speak to him for months ö.Ö' (this stupid action also lead to the Boys' separation and a few weeks later they swore to not have any secrets from each other to avoid further harm).
The scars on Vlad's back are from Jack. That was when he tried to stop Vlad from killing Ji Ho's landlord (who tried to make Ji Ho work in the brothel, like his mom).
Vlad (and some of the others) also had a hunch on Jack's secret relationship to Kiyoshi. But he respected his decision and never urged him to tell him about it. Which was very hard for him because he knew that Jack suffered.
Jack is also Ji Ho and Vlad's biggest supporter. He's also very close to Ji Ho and helps him to find a way how to love Vlad and he also started to set up dates for them.
I love that they complement and learn from each other. Jack is the only creature Vlad is so comfortable with to let his barriers down and show his funny side.
And Vlad also takes Jack serious. Yes, even Jack can be responsible and earnest and wise (at least sometimes ^^')
Adult Vlad and Jack are still best friends in our 'The Family Business' and 'Love Hurts' stories.
(I know them both for far over 10 years now and they already existed in my Sims 3 game.)
They also invented the 'Insult Lightsaber Fighting' (inspired by Insult Sword Fighting from Monkey Island)

“Ouch, goddammit!” You holler, pulling your hands away from Jake.
He groans.
“God, you’re such a baby!”
You pinch Jake’s earlobe and he points a finger in your face, the fishhook still in his pinchers as he narrows his eyes and purses his lips tightly.
“Filly, hold still!”
You huff, crossing your arms. Your hands are in Jake’s lap now, palms facing the fleeting blue sky above you. There are splinters scattered about the soft flesh of your hands, all from those stupid picnic tables at the stupid park you’re at right now.
Jake’s been trying to dig them out of your hands with the only thing he has handy--which happens to be a fishhook--and you have not been making it easy with your yammering. You’re the toughest girl he’s ever met, but dammit if you can’t handle a few splinters.
“Jake, I’m so fuckin’ glad you don’t wanna be a doctor,” you grumble to him, screwing your eyes shut as he starts to pick away at your flesh again, focusing entirely too hard on a tiny piece of wood in your palms. “Because you would be fuckin’ terrible.”
Jake is trying to be as delicate as possible--really, he is. It’s just that you’re wearing a dress that’s too big on you, a ditzy cotton one with little yellow daffodils printed all over it. Honestly, it looks like you’re wearing a sheet: the dress is just swallowing you whole. But he knows that you have nothing on underneath it, which you told him as soon as the Seresin’s pulled up and unloaded their cooler beside the grill your daddy’s manning. So, now Jake keeps thinking about your naked chest and your warm core instead of the injury at play.
“You torturin’ my kid over there?” Your daddy calls good-naturedly, a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. He’s turning hotdogs and pressing down on hamburgers.
“Somethin’ like that!”
“Yes!”
You and Jake glare at each other.
“Filly-Billy, I didn’t raise no cry-babies now!” Your daddy calls. You can’t see him, but you know that he’s grinning and that your mama is rolling her eyes. “Just let the boy slice your hands up! I’ll put ‘em on the grill!”
Jake laughs--a loud and brash thing. You pinch his ear again and he points the sharp side of the fish hook at you, chewing the inside of his cheek.
“I’m armed and dangerous,” he warns.
You narrow your eyes, too.
“If I had a gun, I’d shoot you dead.”
Jake rolls his eyes.
“Yeah, yeah,” he says, tightening his grip on your wrist and holding you in place as he begins again with the hook, “heard it all before. Like when you busted your knee on the damn monkey bars and you told me you’d bite my jugular if I touched you.”
“I meant it,” you tell him, tutting. “And I still mean it now, mustang.”
Your mama is sitting at one of the picnic tables by the grill with Francine and the girls--she’s the only one not fanning herself. She’s picking at her nails as she watches you and Jake, only a stone’s throw away from where she’s sitting. The two of you look so very natural together: him holding your hands and you giving him lip and him still taking care of you, your leg on top of his, his mouth pressing against the wounds to staunch the blood. She’s seen the two of you together since you were half-pints, tugging each other’s hair and rolling around in the dirt and riding each other’s backs. But right now, something is sinking in her belly. It’s deep and dark and cold, that feeling.
It’s the first time she’s really thought about it: what life will be like for you when Jake leaves. She isn’t sure if there’s a world outside of him for you--the two of you are so completely in sync, so completely entangled in each other’s little worlds.
“And then I told her that she can giddy on up out of my damn face before I show her what real Texans are like,” Fran is saying, fanning herself fervently as she purses her lips and rolls her eyes. Her hair, all that wild and red stuff, is plastered to her face with perspiration and her belly is grumbling as the grilled meat wafts against her warm face. Somehow, beneath the buzzing of mosquitoes and your yowling and your daddy’s humming and the cicadas singing and the meat sizzling on the grill, she’s managed to tune out Brandy, Callie, and Harper. She rarely is able to tune those girls out--it feels like a blessing. “And that was the last damn time the census bureau came knockin’ on my door, that’s for damn sure!”
“You’re a true viper, Franny,” your daddy chuckles, grinning. He wipes his damp forehead on the sleeve of his tattered shirt and then sighs in content. “Oughta teach m’wife here how to stand up for herself!”
Your mama tuts, shooting your daddy a hateful look.
But he’s grinning, chuckling to himself.
“Oh, sweetheart,” Franny says to your mama, leaning across the table and taking both of her hands. Franny’s hands just about dwarf your mama’s, swallowing them hole in a sea of orange freckles and calluses. “It’s real easy. Just be a bitch all the time like me.”
Your mama laughs, squeezing Fran’s hands as Fran chuckles.
“You aint’ a bitch, Franny,” your mama insists. “You’re just…spread a little thin.”
That’s putting it mildly. Between her three jobs--cleaning lady, lunch lady, and cashier--she’s spread thin. But take all three of those jobs and add Jake moving away, Harper getting married, and Wade getting sick and that’s about where she is right now. Translucent almost.
“Thin and me don’t go together in any sentence, honey,” Franny insists, dragging her hands over her face and laughing dryly. “Good Lord.”
Your mama watches Franny for a moment, watches her eyes grow glossy before she blinks it away and settles her thick elbows on the table, sighing.
“Why don’t you do me a favor and tell me what’s goin’ on, huh?” Your mama asks. She glances at your father, who’s already tipping his trusty hat back and stubbing his cigarette out--a sure sign that he’s serious and listening. “Why don’t you tell us what’s goin’ on. You know we can always help out, Franny, in any way that we--!”
“Honey,” Franny starts, sighing, “ain’t nothin’ you or him or me can do. It’s between the good Lord and my good-for-nothin’ ex-husband.”
The girls are off at another table, fighting about something or the other like they always are, whining about the heat in between thumb wars and daisy chains. You and Jake are still in your own little bubble. Franny feels like she can finally just talk to the adults here--which she aches to do all the time.
Your mama sighs, chewing on her bottom lip.
“He’s drinkin’ again, huh?” She asks quietly.
Fran rolls her eyes to the high heavens.
“Oh, like he ever stopped,” she complains. She’s thinking about Wade now, the man she used to be so crazy about. The last time she saw him, a few years back when she went to bother him about those Goddamn child support checks again, he was just a bloated thing with yellowing eyes and rotting teeth. She can’t imagine what he must look like now. “But it’s gettin’ bad now.”
Your daddy lets his hands rest on his hips as he tuts at your mama and Franny.
“How’d’you know?”
Fran sighs, shaking her head again. She wishes it wasn’t so Goddamn hot--her throat feels like it’s caked in hot coals.
“Keeps callin’ the house,” Franny admits, pressing her palms into her eyes. “Thinkin’ we’re still married. Askin’ after the kids. Don’t even remember Callie’s name.”
“That’s terrible,” your mama gasps. “What kinda man forgets the name of his own child?”
“An alcoholic, mama,” your father pipes softly. “He ain’t right in the head no more. Killin’ his brain with all that drink.”
Fran sighs again.
“The Lord has not been very kind to me these past few lifetimes,” Fran says, glancing at you and Jake over her shoulder. “Don’t get it twisted--he gave me four miracles right in a row, just perfect things. And I am really not one to complain--you know me. Both of you know me; I ever complain about anythin’? I’ve got a roof over my head, a hot meal in my belly, every Sunday off work, and smart kids who know how to read. Hallelujah! Otherwise, though, the Lord ain’t made a habit of makin’ things easy on me. So, I’ll just say this or else it’ll drive me crazy: I hope Wade goes quick and easy. I’m ready to wash my hands of him and so are my kids.”
This stuns your mama--but not your daddy. He has a better grip on the way alcoholic families function than your mama does, empathizing greatly with Fran’s fervent wish. It’s what he wished for his estranged daddy at the end, too: he was ready to let go.
“That’s the best thing you can do, honey,” Your daddy sighs. “It’s the Christian thing, really.”
Your mama doesn’t think it’s the Christian thing--but she bites her tongue.
“Well, it’s the least I can do for the man who gave me these things,” Fran sighs, glancing around at her children again. The girls are braiding flowers in each other’s hair in a rare moment of peace, no one arguing and no one hitting. Jake is laughing as you punch his shoulder, still holding your other hand in his. “They’re good kids.”
“They’re great kids,” your mama corrects. “And if baseball ever falls through, Jake’s got a real knack for zookeepin’!”
As if on cue, you knock Jake off the bench as the two of you howl with laughter.
“You know, he took her out to the Carolina’s the other day,” Franny starts, sighing as she watches you wipe your blood on Jake’s shirt with a grin. “Put her up on a horse bareback. Said she was a natural.”
That makes your daddy’s chest ache. He would buy you all the horses in the world if he could, even if you only ever wanted to ride one.
“She’s got that thing about her,” your mama sighs, leaning back on the bench as she watches you and Jake sit in the grass barefoot. “You know those kinda girls that are just good at everythin’? That’s our Filly alright. She can ride a horse bareback and, gosh, knit if she wants to.”
“She swims real well, too. And caught a Goddamn nine-pound bass the first time she went fishin’ with me,” your daddy laughs, flipping a few of the burgers and sighing softly. “She’s just a good girl.”
“Well, I don’t know if I’d go that far,” your mama chuckles dryly. “She’s the closest thing to Hellfire God’s green earth has ever seen.”
“Gets that from my side, I reckon,” your daddy grins.
Now Franny is looking over at the two of you--watching Jake’s grin widen as you speak to him, watching your chest grow pink with delight, watching the retreating sun kiss your sweet skin. Her heart is swollen with love--the kind of love that makes three jobs entirely worth it--as she watches you two.
“What’s she gonna do when he leaves?” Your mama asks suddenly, her voice hushed.
She can’t stop thinking about it.
“Lord,” your daddy says, slapping some burgers on paper plates. His belly hurts just to think about you upset--and he knows you will be when Jake leaves. “Please don’t remind me.”
Fran tears her gaze away from the two of you again, biting her lip.
“They’re gonna be devastated,” Fran says softly. “They’re practically littermates, aren’t they?”
Your daddy nods in agreement, blotting sweat from his forehead again.
“They’ll be alright,” your daddy says, his voice thin. “Might take a while. But they’ll be fine. They’re tough kids. They got grit. And I reckon Jake’ll do just about anythin’ to get himself a car so he can drive on back home.”
He’s right--you and Jake don’t lack in bravery or grit or resilience. But your daddy knows, even after saying it out loud, that things won’t be so easy to fall back in place once Jake is gone. You will be alone with him and your mama in that little trailer, far away from friends and working at an ice cream shop.
“Chum!” Your daddy calls, plating the rest of the burgers and dogs.
This is something your families do whenever they can: grill out at the park during hot evenings, listen to country music, eat potato chips and drink soda. You all squish yourselves together on a bench, elbow-to-elbow, and eat together.
“How’s the weddin’ comin’ along, honey?” Your mama asks Harper. “Not long now!”
Harper grins, scraping the cheese off her burger.
“Real good! Curtis has been so sweet about the whole thing. He keeps tellin’ me to just pick what I want and he’ll cover the cost,” Harper sighs wistfully. “He’s a good, good man. He’s gonna be a good husband.”
“Lord willin’,” Jake mutters quietly.
Harper leans across the table and smacks Jake quickly.
“Harper!” Fran hisses. “You’re about to be a married woman and you’re still slappin’ your brother at the dinner table? Unbelievable. Really, I mean…”
“It’s not the dinner table,” Callie pipes up, mouthful of hamburger. “It’s a picnic table.”
“Well, in that case, I can do this,” Fran says softly, reaching around to pinch the tip of Callie’s ear. “Don’t talk with your mouth full!”
Harper talks about the wedding for a long time. She talks about daisies and hydrangeas and bridesmaids and dresses and heels and jewelry. Your mama listens the best she can, delicately cutting her hotdog with a fork and knife. Everyone else is tuning her out, honing in on the buzz of a mosquito or the chirp of a cricket. No one can get a word in edgewise with Harper Seresin--it’s always been that way.
You’re on your second hotdog, kicking your legs beneath the table and letting them bump against Jake’s shins. He’s shaking his head at you, but he’s grinning still. He doesn’t mind playing rough--the two of you have always played rough. But he can’t stop thinking about your breasts just inside of that dress and the way your nipples would harden if exposed to the warm air of dusk.
“And who’ll be walkin’ you down the aisle?” Your mama asks Harper when she finally stops to take a breath.
Harper’s eyebrows pinch, a lump in her throat forming. It’s the same reaction every single Seresin child has whenever Wade is brought up in any capacity. You watch Jake stop chewing, watch red cloud his cheeks the same time his sister’s flush.
It’s uncomfortable, the warm air suddenly suffocating everyone.
Your mama is just about to apologize, looking out over everyone’s downcast gazes, when your daddy squeezes her thigh and clears his throat.
“You know, I’d be happy to walk you down,” your daddy tells Harper. “I know I ain’t your daddy, but if it’d please you, I’d get you there. Besides, who knows if I’ll be walkin’ Filly down the aisle?”
“You won’t,” you answer with a grin, mouth full of hotdog. “Lord willin’.”
Your mama sighs at you and just continues cutting into her hotdog.
Jake grins at you.
“I ain’t tryin’ to replace Wade of course,” your daddy continues. “But y’all are like family to me. We’ve always taken care of each other, haven’t we? I’d be…happy to do it.”
Fran silently reaches across the table and lets her hand fall over your daddy’s, squeezing him softly. They look at each other, both of them smiling softly, and no one else says anything for a long moment.
“Mama’s walkin’ her down the aisle,” Brandy says finally, comping on potato chips.
Your daddy nods. He squeezes Fran’s hand.
“Just thought I’d offer,” he says gently.
“Well, thank you,” Harper says softly. “Though I do expect to see Filly walk down the aisle some day.”
Harper gives you a pointed look and you shrug.
“Now, why would I do somethin’ stupid like that?” You ask.
Jake watches your throat when you swallow. He wants to press his hand there.
“Lord, she’s tryin’ to give me a heart attack,” your mama breathes, clutching her chest.
You laugh--Jake watches, a smile tugging on his lips.
Later, after dinner, everyone sits around the picnic table picking their teeth and sighing into the warm air. It’s cooling off now as the sun sets and there are lightning bugs floating around the rusty playground equipment and Indian Blanket flowers. Smoke still lingers in the air, tickling your nostrils.
“Here,” Fran says, doling out the popsicles she picked up on the way home from work. “Cool off.”
They’re the kind of popsicles that are almost entirely sugar--the kind that makes your saliva thick and your teeth ache. But you and Jake eat them all the same, cutting your mouths on the plastic.
“Switch?” He asks, offering you his half-eaten cherry-flavored one.
Silently, you press your grape-flavored one into his hand and start on finishing his.
“You two are gross,” Callie complains. “Don’t you worry about cooties?”
You glance at Callie, who is positively grimacing at you. Jake is just about to thump her on the back of the head but then you laugh--it cuts him off, renders his hand limp.
“You can only get cooties from kissin’,” you tell her, winking. “So, we’re in the clear.”
Jake tugs you off towards the playground equipment, leaving everyone to talk amongst themselves as the two of you begin a firefly hunt.
Your hands are hooked together as you disappear into the treeline, the world darkening around you. Your families watch from their spots, shaking their heads as absent smiles find their faces. Your mama is still wondering how you’re going to live without Jake. Fran is thinking about how much Jake looks like his daddy. Your daddy is thinking about never walking you down the aisle. Harper is thinking about having baby’s breath in her bouquet. Callie is thinking about Richie Valentine’s hands. Brandy is thinking about taking a long shower when they get home.
Jake catches the first firefly, cupping it in his hands and approaching you as you smoke a cigarette against the trunk of a black cherry tree. You’re watching him as he grins down at his hands.
The little bug is tickling his palms, all that calloused flesh, and he cages you against the tree with his legs and opens his hands silently so you can peek in at the little thing. It’s glowing that strange yellow-green color, calmly crawling along Jake’s hands.
“What would the world be like without lightnin’ bugs?” You ask, smoke billowing from your lips.
“Darker,” Jake answers.
You pinch him and he grins, pressing his body into yours further.
“How sad would that be?” You ask softly, pressing your finger against the hard wings of the firefly. “The night’s would be so ugly.”
The firefly climbs onto your finger now and you bring it beside your face, smiling softly. Jake is inhaling your citrus scent, thinking about how thick it would be against your throat and in your hair. Your palms still ache from the fish-hook extractions earlier, but you don’t mind it, really.
“Nights with you couldn’t be ugly,” Jake says.
He watches your eyes flicker to his, your cheeks practically glowing pink in the night, before you shake your head at him.
You blow a raspberry at him, releasing the firefly into the dusk surrounding you, taking another drag from your cigarette. You are not someone that is called beautiful frequently--even if you really are. You’re the kind of beautiful that takes time to appreciate, one that gets better with age like an expensive wine. And Jake has had all the time in the world to recognize that beauty.
“I mean it,” Jake insists. “You’re, you know--Filly, you’re beautiful. You know that, don’t you?”
When you don’t answer, making a big show out of rolling your eyes and turning to blow smoke in the opposite direction of his face, he suddenly cups your cheek. It’s a movement that he’s done time and time again, you think, except this time his touch is less forceful. He’s gently guiding your gaze to his, his brows furrowed as he searches your glassy eyes in the night.
“Filly,” he starts softly.
He thinks he might say it. He thinks he might tell you that you’re beautiful and that he is in love with you. He thinks he might just blurt it out right here and let it fill the air all around the two of you.
You think you might say it, too. Especially when you comb your fingers through his hair, which he’s growing out now that baseball is over--you love his hair longer. You think he is the most beautiful person in the world--and it isn’t even close. It would be so easy to just let your quivering lips fall open and tell him that you love him.
Instead, you drop your cigarette in the wet grass below you, and drop down on your knees suddenly. Jake is bewildered for a moment, eyes wide and eyebrows raised as he looks down at you. But you’re already unbuttoning his shorts, peppering kisses to his taut belly. From up above, he can see down your dress and fuck, you weren’t lying.
“Filly,” Jake says again except now his breath us caught in his throat. “What’re you doin’?”
You blink up at him, fingers hooked in the waistband of his boxers.
“What’s it look like I’m doin’?” You ask, shaking your head. “I’m gonna blow you, idiot.”
You do blow him--it’s the very first time that you do.
He stands up against a tree, trying to keep his ears perked for any of your family members even though he knows they’re all still sitting around swapping stories, and holds tight to your unruly hair. Blood rushes to the tips of his ears and his legs are tensed and his throat is dry.
There are sticks and rocks digging into the soft flesh of your knees, which you know will be stained green and indented after this encounter. But you kiss his throbbing cock all the same, letting your hands wander along the long shaft. You’re a quick learner--it doesn’t take long for you to figure out that spit is key.
He looks down at you through half-lidded eyes, the fireflies still lighting the world around you, as you bob your head against his cock. You take him as deep as you can, your throat relaxed and your cheeks hollowed. Your mouth is sinfully warm and wet against him, so much so that he has a hard time concealing his breathy moans.
“Filly,” he mutters, “Christ, girl.”
You lick a long stripe along his shaft, humming against him. It just tastes like skin--you didn’t know what you thought it would taste like, but it wasn’t just skin. You’re glad, though--you like the way Jake’s skin tastes.
Maybe you’re doing this because of him letting you ride one of the Carolina’s horses the other day. It was the best part of your week--you’ve been dreaming about what it felt like on the bare back of the horse, dreaming about the way the wind felt against your cheeks. But mostly, you’ve been dreaming about Jake smiling up at you and holding you steady. So, maybe that’s why you’re sucking him off right now--because he deserves it. He’s good to you. Or maybe it’s because you were too afraid of what would happen if he called you beautiful again.
He cums with little warning--just muttering something unintelligible, his heart in is throat and blood rushing past his ears, before spilling down the back of your throat. You don’t know what to do except swallow it, letting him fall from your lips.
“Jesus,” he whispers. It’s almost entirely dark now as he pulls his pants up and offers his hand to you. “What was that for?”
You hum, taking his hand and standing. Your knees are damp and sore, just like your palms, but you don’t mind it at all.
“Just for fun,” you mutter, wiping your mouth. You can taste him in the back of your throat--human and bitter. “How was it?”
He leans forward suddenly, pressing his lips against yours. You very nearly hit heads, very nearly miss each other’s mouths. But then his hands are on your waist and you’re kissing him back and you’re pulsing all over.
“It was fuckin’ great,” he whispers against your lips.
“Knew it,” you mutter, fisting his shirt.
You want to kiss him for a long time. You want to just stay in this thicket of trees and let the lightning bugs land on your skin and light up your intimacy. You want to keep tasting the ketchup on his mouth and fisting his shirt between your fingers.
But then your daddy calls for you.
And just as you disconnect yourself from Jake and start walking back, smiling softly, he bumps you with his hip. He’s grinning in the night, feeling lighter and happier and more excited than he has in a long time.
“You really are beautiful,” he tells you.
You scowl at him, pushing him.
“Stop,” you insist.
He laughs--a noise that carries itself all across the playground equipment and grill and picnic tables.
“Possessing, even,” he sighs, batting his lashes at you.
Your cheeks are burning.
“Stop it!” You insist again, slapping his shoulder.
He hooks his arm over your shoulders, laughing.
He means it and you know that he does. Maybe that’s what scares you.

A Pirate’s Vow
Monkey D. Luffy, a man with a bounty of 3,000,000,000 berries.
The captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, effortlessly gathering over 10 powerful members as they drift across crystal blue seas and uninhabited lands. The closest explorer and pirate captain to finding the treasure of Gol D. Roger and becoming the King of The Pirates. He who was once was an energetic and naive teenage boy who was now shifting into a man as he clumsily groped and fondled you behind an alleyway of a bar that your crew mates were drinking themselves sick inside.
After endless plates of grilled meat from the owners of the pub and throwing back shot glasses of sake one after the other with the Zoro, his need to bother you always shot through the roof (not that Luffy didn't always invade your personal space). It was just obvious (at least towards you) that this was a different type of need, the kind that made him want to hump against you until his cock was red and his balls hurt from shooting blanks. Yet, sake and the sight of you with a shot glass to your lips always sent him into a spiral.
"Luuuuffffyyyyy." You giggled, your own voice slurred from the liquor in blood as his hands tiptoed up the slit of your skirt, giving you his signature grin, and leaving wet kisses along your face and neck. "Yeah, what is it Y/n!" Luffy said excitedly, his words
"We are not having sex out here." "A it's a fucking gross alley-way and B people are gonna see us." You reasonably tried to explain to him, while also, trying to pull away from his grip that was holding you closer and closer, for dear life. "Please, please, pretty please Y/n, no one will see us I promise." Luffy pleads rather annoyingly, as he ruts his hard-on against your leg so you can feel his arousal first-hand.
"No Luffy, you always get to loud when we have sex." You complained again, memories of your crewmates embarrassing the both of you flooding your mind. Though, the feeling of him pressing himself against you, was slowly starting to change your mind. "Please Y/n, just the tip, I'll keep it quiet I promise." Luffy begs, and with a soft sigh in succumbence you give into his request, knowing very well his voice is most likely going to get loud in the dark alleyway, possibly resulting in the two of you getting caught.
Luffy reaches his hand under your your skirt, and tugs at your underwear, causing the sound of them ripping to reach your ears ever so slightly, as they pool at your ankles. "Luffy don't tear those please." Yet, you're pretty sure everything you just said went in one ear and out the next as his eyes linger on the garments. Before you can even confirm that he heard you, he impulsively picks up the panties and sniffs at them lightly, not a care in the world on his face. But, before you can even say something due to your shock, Luffy beats you to the punch.
"Your scent smells really good Y/n, even better than meat." Luffy compliments as you shriek in embarrassment and try to snatch the garments away from him, his hand quickly pulling away and tucking them somewhere (most likely his pocket) before you can. "Luffy give 'em back." You complain as a push of cold wind passes the through the air making your clench your thighs.
"But they smell so good" Luffy complains his hands wandering under your skirt once again, and over your lower lips gingerly, wetness from your own arousal, making his hand glossy in the moonlight. "Your so wet Y/N, that means you want me to right." You don't answer humiliated (considering you were usually the dominant one when the topic of sex with Luffy arose) about the position he has in you to even think of a response. "It's fine Y/n, I want you to, I'm happy I make you feel good."
Luffy pulls down his pants and with your eyes already having adjusted to the dim light outside from the moonlight alone you can see his dick, hard and out in the open. "See Y/N, don't be embarrassed I want you to." As Luffy places his face in the crook of your neck, you take one hand and wrap it around his length, feeling him breathe softly onto you. "That feels really good Y/N-"
He stops talking for a moment as his breath stutters throughout his nose, before picking up his sentence "You make me feel so good." Luffy's hips buck into your hand and without needing words you speed up your motions to accommodate his needs.
Your needy little captain, so strong and so powerful when it comes down to protecting his crew, the "X" shaped scar on the middle of his chest as a reminder, but so needy and squirmy when it came down to something as simple as a handjob. "Only me Luffy." "Only I'm allowed to make you feel this good."
"No other girl can touch you alright, just like no other guy can touch me." Luffy can barely control his breathing, so him answering you is out of the question, so in return he just nods his head in agreement, to focus on his orgasm. "So close Y/N, pretty please make me cum I've been good for you right."
You smile at Luffy's words, knowing that he's probably just a little worried you'll pull away at the last moment and edge his dick, considering you're known, for teasing him in between your escapades. But, even you must admit that Luffy had been well behaved for the time being. At least when it came down to his moans, choking them back so as to not draw attention to yourselves. "Anything for my brave and courageous Captain."
And at that exact moment, after the praise had been shot out of your mouth, Luffy cums all over your hand, his knees bucking, as his face is now somehow buried even deeper into a crevice of your neck, breathing heavy, and hot and wet drool dripping onto your collarbone. "That's my good boy, you like when I call you Captain while touching you." Luffy nods, as he bucks his hips into your still-cupped hand in aftershock; his length covered in his own semen, that you had momentarily wiped off of your hand and onto him as lubricant for what was to come next.
"You still want more Luffy right Luffy." He perks his head up immediately, and nods, his chest still heaving from his prior release "such a greedy thing." You laugh at him as you run your hand through his hair, as he mumbles apologies about being "greedy" and "wanting to make you feel good to." "You can be as greedy as you want Luffy, you deserve it don't you."
" 'Course you do, always protecting me and the crew from danger." Luffy shivers at the praise once more and with great precision and strength hoists your legs up around his waist. His dick rubbing against your entrance, pulsing, and throbbing in anticipation. "Please Miss... can I, I want it so bad."
"I need it so much, wanna be inside you." You pretend to think about it for a minute, obviously going to say it yes, but Luffy begging and pleading is just too cute, to not see. "Go ahead Luffy, but it only the tip remember" "I'll give you more when we get back on the ship." As soon as you grant him permission, Luffy pushes ever so so much, hip stuttering as he tries to not slip all the way inside.
Luffy hisses as you clamp down the tip of his dick, more, and more, pre-cum being released in spurts. "Please Miss, I want more, I wanna feel all of you." "It's not enough, please just a little more." Luffy buries his face between your breast, as he sucks and bites, while somehow pulling at your skirt bottom. It's cute. It's cute to see how needy he gets to be inside you completely.
You believe to only shut your eyes for a split second as you engrain the image into your brain of Luffy's whiny features. Yet a split second after that moment you feel the wind being knocked out of your guts as Luffy slams the remaining portion of his length inside your cunt. You choke back an almost pitiful sob as, Luffy apologizes over and over for his greediness continuing to slam into you, contradicting his own statements.
His moans are freely escaping out of his mouth now as he overstimulates himself, unintentionally, nipping, and biting at your breasts as you reprimand him. "Dammit Luffy what'd I say two seconds ago you ole' dog." Luffy whines and mumbles in agreement, seemingly knowing how much shit he's gotten himself into. "I'm so sorry Y/N couldn't wait anymore, please forgive me."
You can only sigh as you welcome the loud sobs and salty tears into the cleavage of your breasts. The sake seems to be taking a toll on his mind, and you can't help but feel at fault knowing that you shouldn't have allowed him to drink so much considering that he's a lightweight. You can't stand to see him upset anymore, so as he continues thrusting into you, you push his face out of your breasts and hold up his face in cupped hands and kiss him all over reciprocating the same sloppy energy he gave you earlier.
" 'M not mad at you darling." You kiss all over his face as you take one of his hands and place it on your clit, causing him to mindlessly rub it in circles. Luffy gives a mumble, hiccups interrupting his slurred words "Your not." You shake your head, no, "Mommy was mean to you wasn't she, letting you only use the tip when she knows you can't help yourself." Luffy is scared.
Not scared of you, of course, not; that's never been his case; you're, his guardian angel and his strong lover; he knows you'd never hurt him. He's more so afraid to answer, afraid that this might be a trick question that might land him in deeper shit. "It's okay baby you can answer honestly." You encourage him, and shakily Luffy shakes his head; yes, at your previous question, his thighs trembling as he feels himself about to cum again.
"Yeah I thought so to baby, it's okay your not in trouble, just make yourself cum mkay, good captains like you deserve treats." You coo at him, kissing his lips for a moment before pulling away, causing him to whimper, as he nods in agreement. A bit more focused on his task at hand Luffy's pace speeds up as his cock bullies his way in, and out of you, most definitely leaving you sore for the upcoming morning.
"'M so close..." Luffy can only repeat that same phrase over and over, occasionally throwing your name into the mix, until he can only take so much more and cum right inside you. His white and milky cum, flooding and gushing against your walls as you whimpers and mumbles through the release as you slowly try to bring him down from his high. "You okay baby.. you feeling alright."
He doesn't answer; his mind seems elsewhere, and his face gives off one of anxiousness. He calls out your name in a shy and whiny voice as he tugs at your skirt once more that was now stained with "liquids." "Y/N, I think I drank to much sake... Can I... Do it in you please." You look at him in confusion as he whines out for permission again. Permission for what? Your not entirely sure. "Luffy? baby... what in the hell are you talking about." He doesn't answer, and the reason why he didn't finally click until you felt something hot and runny drip down your legs.
"Shit Luffy... are you fucking peeing in me." You squirm out of his grasp in futility and shriek as he hums softly, continuing to pee in you as he holds you up. "Monkey D. Luffy, put me down this instant and pee on the ground. "Do I look like a toilet." Softly he rests your feet back on the ground and slips his now soft cock out of you. But instead of continuing his bathroom needs on the ground, the salty liquid hits your skirt, causing it to become wet immediately. Oh come on Luffy." With a big smile, Luffy buries his face in your neck and in a matter of seconds, falls asleep.
In annoyance, you groan and rub the bridge of your nose with two of your fingers; you sling Luffy over your shoulders and drag him back to the boat, complaining to yourself about how heavy he is and asking yourself why you put up with his shit. After heaving Luffy's heavy body across town and onto the ship, you carry him to his room and place him on the bed as gently as you can. After being sure that he is still breathing, you peel the piss-soaked clothes off your skin and throw them over board. Thankfully you have, and extra skirt to wear, but in all honesty your slightly terrified about what may happen to that one as well.
You sit on the bed next to Luffy's unconscious body and hum softly, rubbing your hand up and down over his scar on the center of his chest. "Anything for you Captain."
"I'd do anything for you Monkey D. Luffy, to the bottom of the sea and back."

Cousin Buckley: Part 5
Summary: You’re Robin’s cousin, and you might be falling for Eddie Munson... or will it be Steve Harrington?? 🖤💜
Please see my masterlist for Parts 1-4!
Warnings: mention of blood and a skinned knee, otherwise it’s pure fluff!
Word count: ~1.4k
A/N: AHHH I’m getting so excited about what will happen next even though I’m the one writing it 😂 Again, THANK YOU for the love--I’m sending it right back 😍 Please enjoy this one--it’s getting good 🙊
Taglist is still a WIP but I’m messaging those whose usernames won’t work!
“Okay, I’ve got to work from one to closing tonight, which is a total drag and barely feels legal, but I’ve got to save up. Do you have any plans?”
You were sitting on Robin’s bed as she fixed her hair for work. Robin had warned you that Thursday was her longest shift day, so you needed to make some plans so you wouldn’t be stuck in the house all day. You envied the day before; you two met up with the guys again and had lunch at the park.
“Actually, I was thinking about hanging out with Eddie,” you said, picking at your fingernails.
“Ahh,” Robin turned around with a smirk on her face. “Has the lady chosen her true love? I would have guessed it was Steve based on your interactions yesterday.”
You blushed; you and Steve had been playing around at the park yesterday. He pushed you on the swings, swung with you on the monkey bars, and then played out in the field, ending with you accidentally falling and skinning your knee as you dove for the frisbee.
✨
“Oh my gosh, are you okay?” Steve had rushed to your side. “Shoot, you’re bleeding!”
“I’m fine,” you tried to relieve him. “It’s just a skinned knee. Man, they do sting, it doesn’t matter how old you are.”
“Here, let me help you up.”
Steve lifted you up, wrapping your arm around his shoulder. He then walked you over to a bench, swinging your leg up on it. He grabbed a napkin, then squatted beside you to dab your knee. As you winced in pain, he looked up at you sympathetically.
“I’m sorry,” he said, rubbing your arm.
“Don’t worry about it, you’re helping,” you half-smiled, half-grimaced.
“I’ll be right back, I think I have some bandaids in my car.”
He came back with some bandaids. As he dabbed your knee a little more, you continued to wince. He gently applied the bandaid, making sure it wasn’t too tight.
“Good as new,” he smiled then kissed his finger, pressing it lightly to the bandage then to your nose.
“Thanks, Dr. Steve, what do I owe you?” you joked, trying to hide the way your heart raced as he looked at you admiringly. He tapped his cheek playfully, making you roll your eyes.
“You can also build up a line of credit,” he winked, pointing to his lips.
✨
You looked down at your knee and lightly touched the fresh bandaid. Steve was sweet, that was for sure. He felt like Hawkins, like those summer days full of popsicle stains, collecting fireflies, and freshly grilled burgers. He was the type of person you could dance with if a great song came on the radio while you were cooking.
But something about Eddie made you feel different. Eddie wasn’t the typical all-American boy next door; he was softer, a sensitive soul covered by leather and tough patches and bands. When you thought of him, you thought of late nights gazing at the stars, of staying up all night just talking, of leaning on him the way you did two days ago, but this time with his guitar in his hands, strumming a song he made just for you.
“Hello-o-o, Y/N,” Robin waved her hand in your face, snapping you out of your trance.
“Hey, sorry,” you shook your head. “What were we talking about again?”
“You possibly seeing Eddie today?”
“Right, sorry. Yeah, I think I’ll call him.”
“Go ahead,” Robin smiled. “I gotta go, but I’ll see you later, okay?”
“Okay. Bye, Rob, have a good day at work. Let me know if you want snacks or something, okay?” you hugged her as she nodded.
“Seeya, Y/N/N.”
After Robin left, you got ready for the day and went to the kitchen to use the phone. Robin had written down both of the boys’ numbers in case you needed something while she was at work. You dialed Eddie’s number, and soon, a man picked up.
“Hello?”
“Hi, this is Y/N Buckley. Can I please speak to Eddie?”
“Sure, one second, Y/N.”
“Hello?”
“Hey, Eddie, it’s Y/N. I was wondering if you’d like to hang out today.”
You heard a crash and Eddie cursing to himself.
“Sorry,” he said.
“What happened?”
“Oh, nothing, just dropped the phone. Yes, let’s hang out. What did you have in mind?”
“Do you wanna get some lunch?”
Within fifteen minutes, you saw Eddie’s van pull up into the driveway. As you were walking to the front door, he hopped out of the driver’s seat and rushed up to the door, ringing the bell. When you opened it, he beamed and brought a small bouquet of wildflowers out from behind his back, holding them out to you.
“Hey, these are for you,” he smiled as you grabbed hold of them.
“Oh, Eddie, these are so pretty!” you smiled. “Thank you.”
You moved to hug him, and he accepted it, your arms around his neck and his around your waist. He rested his head in the crook between your neck and shoulder, and you could feel him smiling. You also smiled as you held him closely. He smelled like cigarettes and floral shampoo, a weird but not entirely unwelcome mix. As you pulled away, you looked away, trying to hide your blush.
“Did you know that wildflowers are my favorite?”
“I could say yes,” he scratched his head, a crooked smile on his face, “but I can’t lie to a lady such as yourself. In all honesty, they’re from behind my trailer.”
“Even better,” you said, and Eddie’s eyes sparkled. “I’m just going to put them in a vase quickly. Here, come in,” you moved to let him in.
As you found a vase and filled it, Eddie leaned on the countertop, gazing at you. He smiled as he saw the genuine joy the flowers brought you. As you arranged them, you narrowed your eyes to make sure the flowers fell evenly.
“You’re so cute.”
“What?” you looked up in surprise, a blush spreading quickly across your cheeks.
“What?” Eddie mirrored, eyes wide.
“You think I’m cute?” you asked slowly. Eddie’s face didn’t change.
“I… said that out loud. Okay, um,” he shuffled a bit, snapping out of his daze. “I just need to be honest with you, Harrington and I decided that we weren’t going to ask you out, but, to be honest with you, we both really really like you and we’ve wanted to ask you out since the first moment we saw you. I don’t know how he feels, but every single time I see you, I feel like my heart is gonna burst out of my chest, and I know that sounds cliche, but honestly, Y/N, this doesn’t really happen to me. I’ve been labeled as a freak all of my life, so girls avoided me like the plague. When I met you, I felt like you were just being nice like nice people do, you know? But I feel like we actually get along and enjoy each other’s company, right?” he looked at you, breathing a little heavily.
“Right. I enjoy spending time with you, Eddie, honestly,” you said softly.
“Okay, so you like hanging out with me and I like hanging out with you,” his arms were flailing as he spoke, “but, Y/N, I feel like there’s something more, but I don’t want to make a single move before I hear how you feel. So, Y/N,” he held your arms, “please be honest with me and tell me the truth. I’d rather you reject me and we just stay friends than you say yes and be uncomfortable. How do you feel about me?”
Before you could answer, you heard a knock on the door.
“Eddie!!”
It was a boy’s voice. Eddie looked at you, a heartbroken look on his face, and turned to get the door. A rush of emotions filled you to a breaking point, and you grabbed his arm to stop him and kissed his cheek, quickly but sweetly.
“We can talk later,” you said quietly, and Eddie nodded, his face softening. He opened the door, but when he saw who was in front of him, he groaned and dragged his hands down his face in exasperation.
“What do you want, Henderson?”
To be continued!!

Nancy then goes off to play on the monkey bars, and makes friends with a kid she meets named Elias West. Meanwhile, Riley helps Haruo climb and slide on the toddler slide, and Haruo really enjoys it. "Again, ren*!" He says, giggling. "Okay, okay." Riley says, smiling. Plus, Nancy runs into Elias' sister Heather and befriends her too. Heather chats with Nancy before she and her brother have to go home, and Nancy then heads off to find her parents. Riley grills up some burgers and the family has a quick lunch before Riley and Stephanie pack their kids back up in the (invisible) car and head home.

top 5 skz songs to sing along to? and top 5 of your favorite dishes? and top 5 songs you’d like han jisungie to cover in full? sorry for sending fifty billion things i just love your insights and would love to hear your thoughts and opinions 💖
aah ana ilysm ok cracking my knuckles, lets go
top 5 skittles song to sing along to:
1. Topline (always and forever, i screamed so loud i nearly passed out)
2. Cheese (click clack, bang)
ur gonna laugh at me for the rest of these but
3. wolfgang (graaow we go wild)
4. gone away (ssshhh dont tell anyone that i like a skz ballad)
5. miroh (its a must, stray kids woo)
favorite dishes
1. bolognese pasta (am i 5? maybe)
2. bibimbap (i love how everyone makes it a little different, i love the variety of flavors, i love how indulgent it is without being super greasy)
3. frankfurter grüne soße (‘green sauce’ its technically a super simple dish, its usually just served with eggs and potatos. but its very specific.
theres herbs in it that are barely used nowadays, very old german cuisine vibes. and if you get the ratio exactly right and the herbs are in season it has such a delicate and specific flavor. a little sweet, a little mustardy, very refreshing. it’s hard to describe. also is excellent with white asparagus and young potatoes (in season at the same time) or surprisingly a really ripe avocado. anyway its hard to find most of the year in most of germany but since i am from frankfurt its a matter of pride)
4. sashimi or maybe a really good ceviche (i love raw fish but ceviche has become such a trend thing that its usually just not great here)
5. can i just say salad? like maybe its bc its getting hot but a really nice salad maybe with some haloumi or avocado or some grilled fish and some really nice bread is sooooo good.
ok top songs i want hanji to cover. now this is why i put this ask off for so long top 5 is SUCH a high bar to clear. ok that being said though i have some directions i would looooove him to explore.
(for convenience, a shortlist without my rambling:
1. kacey musgraves - golden hour/slow burn/ butterflies
2. the internet - get away | just sayin/i tried
3. paramore - misery business
4. arctic monkeys - leave before the lights come on/do me a favour
5. the strokes - is this it)
1. intimate acoustic guitar country songs like kacey musgraves did on golden hour (god i was obsessed with that album) this whole album has such a sunny warmth to it, and such a specific cleverness in the songwriting i think jisungs voice would just be so pretty on it. my top choices would be butterflies or golden hour or slow burn i think
2. jazzy, slow a little funky rnb like the internet used to make (rip to that band i will miss u forever) plus their breakup songs have a pettiness that just gels with jisungs vibes so well. i wouldnt really want a straight cover but like if he put some additional vocals and a little laid back rap verse on get away or just sayin/i tried uuuugh a perfect fuckin idea.
3. obvious one but paramore misery business but i would accept any of their like. earlier actually kinda emo stuff.
4. self indulgent but my favorite arctic monkeys song is leave before the lights come on i would LOVE to see what he does with that OR possibly do me a favour. again, petty but like… suuuuch great storytelling that i think would fit him
5. the strokes is this it idk i just think its a lazy existential dread/petty relationship sort of vibe that would fit him if he was allowed to make music like that lmao kind of similar vibe to those arctic monkeys songs but this is just the music i grew up on so i am biased
(if i could be self indulgent with songs that DONT fit him i would love to see him do patti smith because the night OR like. a fuckin hole song like doll parts OR theres this korean dj/producer(?) called cifika who did a remix for seulgis solo and i would loooooove to see him work with someone like that, her stuff has turned very futuristic and moody/dark lately OR because i cant /not/ mention him make the boy do tougher than the rest by bruce springsteen, it would be the cringiest fuckin thing in history and yet…. if he put his own production on it…. could be a vibe)

Vegan Kin Food Ideas
S'up! So, we've been seeing a lot of kin food posts, but the focus is always on meat. Then when vegan or vegetarian options are listed it's like salad + fruit and that's it. We've been vegan for some years now so here's a list of things we eat that we think others might enjoy too!
A piece of advice we found helpful is to think about the food item you miss and break it down into what exactly you miss. If you miss eating gems, is it the appearance? The crunch? Gritty texture or dry taste? In that spirit of that, our list will be largely broken up by texture/experience.
Crunch Crunch Snacks
This includes snacks/sides that get your jaws working or have a satisfying "snap" to them.
Roasted chickpeas
Kale chips
Ants on a log (celery, peanut butter and raisins)
Hummus + baby bell peppers/sugar snap peas/carrots
Granola / cereals (a lot of types are vegan, read the ingredients before purchasing)
Banana chips
Nuts + seeds
Popcorn (avoid "buttery" packages, buy plain or kettle corn)
Peanut butter pretzels (crunchy outside, delicious soft inside)
Smartie candies
Keep your cookies/chocolate bars in the fridge or freezer
Also, load cookies up with extra nuts/seeds/choco chips
Soft, but with some crunch
This section is for dishes/sides that are overall easier on the teeth, but with elements that still crunch or snap. If you're looking for recipes that combine different texture elements check these out.
Lentil nachos + nacho cheese sauce
"Crunchwrap" (quesadilla made with refried beans and homemade cheese sauce that we open and place tortilla chips and lettuce inside after grilling)
Tempeh bacon (we like this on a BLT or grilled cheese sandwich)
Crispy tofu sandwiches
Grilled asparagus
Apple slices with nut butter
Pickles
Apple turnovers
Vegan sushi (there's a ton of recipes, check out these two collections to get started X, X)
Falafel (can be used a hundred different ways, sandwiches, wraps, on it's own, etc.)
Roasted chickpeas again, but with a caveat**: You can roast them at 350 F for 30 mins and they'll be cooked enough to pop between your teeth, but soft in the center. We like to either eat them as-is or top our salads with them. (We season with salt/pepper before going into the oven, nothing else) **Must be eaten after baking, they will not keep
For the foragers in the crowd
These dishes focus more on having either multiple different foods in a visible way or a tactile element to how you eat them.
Chia pudding
Smoothie bowls
Overnight oatmeal
Trail mix
Pumpkin bars (We replace the egg with a flax egg and use vegan butter)
Chocolate chip banana monkey bread
Corn on the cob
Grilled veggie kebabs
Cranberry cilantro quinoa salad
Chili
Bush's beans and rice
Salads topped with sliced fruit, nuts, grains and/or beans
Edamame (a favorite, we love pulling out the insides with our teeth, you can get ones without the pods if they bother you)
Plant-based burgers, the kinds with the chunks of veggies (our favorite is dr. praeger's black bean quinoa burgers)
Chewy Foods
This section is for foods that work your jaw, but more in a "needing to chew" way.
Potato gnocchi
Dried fruit (comes in all different flavors, not just raisins)
Swedish fish, red vines, skittles or sour patch kids
Granola bars (a lot of types are vegan, read the ingredients before purchasing)
Thick bread-y pizza (our favorite dough recipe)
Pancakes
Chewy chocolate chip cookies
Peanut butter cookies
Baked oatmeal
Potato skins
Meat Substitutes
The most obvious way to make a dish vegan is to sub in the appropriate mock meat. We've eaten quite a few and we won't sugar-coat it: a lot of them are either going to match the taste, texture, OR look. It's hard for mock meats to copy meat 1:1, some get way closer than others, but if you go into this expecting no difference you will be disappointed.
Our two favorite brands are Impossible and Gardein. We've tried a lot of their products and have yet to eat one we don't like.
These aren't your only options though!
Beans
Falafel (deep-fried balls of ground chickpea)
Tofu
Tempeh (fermented soybeans)
Seitan (made from wheat gluten)
Jack fruit
You might have guessed based on the recipes shared, but we usually opt for beans. We haven't eaten much seitan or jack fruit, but they are options. At our local grocery stores they're sold in the "free from" section and can be brought pre-seasoned and ready to cook with. Jack fruit in particular is a popular replacement for shredded pork.
The trick with a lot of these is to marinate them. Tofu in particular so you can infuse it with flavor. Here's a few recipes we love:
Lentil and sweet potato loaf ("Neat"loaf)
Marinated tofu
Crispy tofu sandwiches
Tempeh bacon
Chili (our mom's recipe that we modified)
Soft / Squish
For things that are soft or squishy and you can slurp up.
Seaweed salad
miso soup
Pico de Gallo Black Bean Soup
"Nice" cream
Chocolate mousse
Oatmeal
Popsicles
Applesauce
Brownie batter hummus
Chia seed jam
Lavender syrup (to flavor other drinks, we use it in coffee)
Lavender lemonade (final product will be a light brown color)
Mashed potatoes + Gravy
Slow cooker apple cider
Tofu scramble
JUST egg
Non-dairy mac and cheese (our favorite brand is the upton's)
Smoothies (if you're looking for a protein powder to include, we recommend Vega)
**Just a reminder to supplement for B12 if you're consuming a vegan diet. There are some foods that are fortified with it; however, a supplement is cheap, easy to find and all-around a more reliable way to ensure you are getting enough.

Exploring the UAE: 10 things to do in Umm Al Quwain
Even while Umm Al Quwain isn't the most well-known emirate in the United Arab Emirates, it does have some undiscovered jewels. There are numerous benefits to visiting, even for just one day, including outdoor activities and traditional Emirati culture. The following are the top 10 things to do while you're there after receiving your emirates visa for South African citizens.
Mangrove Beach
The picturesque setting in Khor Al Yeefrah, hitherto a hidden gem in the emirate, is currently being improved with things like thatched parasols, swings, a cafe, and BBQ spaces. For those who want to explore the diverse flora and fauna in the emirate's protected area, kayaks are available for rent, and on the weekends, a DJ spins music. Although there is a minor entrance fee for cars, the amenities, and the picturesque setting make the trip worthwhile. Already, people like to picnic there at dusk.
Kitesurfing
Get away to Kite Beach Center, where Bali and Zanzibar collide. The first licensed kitesurfing school in the emirate is located at this laid-back beach resort. All instructors are qualified by the International Kiteboarding Organization, and classes are offered for all skill levels. Although there is a little admittance fee (see the website for the most recent costs), it's a terrific place to spend the day relaxing in the sun and taking part in other water sports like kayaking or snorkeling. Additionally, visitors may stay overnight or rent cabanas for four hours, however, reservations are advised due to the busy season.
Tarzan Gym
This unique idea creates a space on the beach that resembles something that might appear in The Flintstones more so than a typical gym. This entertaining gym is tucked away in Kite Beach Centre and is made up of several wooden pieces of equipment. Giant wooden dumbbells, barbells, and monkey bars are just a few of the adult-only "toys" available, making it a fun spot to go with friends and one that looks great on Instagram.
Thunder Road Pizza & Grill
Although Dubai is frequently mentioned as the nation's culinary capital, Thunder Road is a true hidden gem. With hundreds of handcrafted cheeses, mouthwatering pizza, and, to top it all off, stunning ocean views from the patio, this Italian restaurant run by Italians will transport you to Italy. You must taste their handmade burrata. It's Italy meets the US with a pool table and kids' playground at the Barracuda Beach Resort, making it well worth the day trek up the coast. There is even a grocery store there where you can stock up on genuine Italian treats after applying emirates visa for South African nationals.
An abandoned aircraft
On the coast of the tiny emirate, an abandoned Russian cargo jet has become quite the attraction. The former skydiving airport is now home to the Barracuda Beach Resort, and the Soviet-era aircraft is visible from the E11 that leads to the hotel. It has been there for over twenty years. It is a fascinating location for aviation enthusiasts that was once cloaked in secrecy. We now know that the Ilyushin IL-76, sometimes known as "Candid" under NATO operations, originally flew for the Soviet Union in the 1970s to replace the equally illustrious Antonov 12.
Vida Beach Resort
The Vida Beach Hotel, the newest addition to Umm Al Quwain's tourist scene, enables pet owners to enjoy the emirate's lovely coastline without having to locate a sitter. The hotel is stylish and, as one would expect from Emaar, the attention to detail is excellent. It is one of many hotels that have seen a market niche for the growing number of staycation travelers in the nation looking to bring their pets with them.
Umm Al Quwain Fort and Museum – Fort Al Ali
The fort-turned-museum, one of the emirate's most cherished assets, provides tourists with a wealth of historical information. The Al Mualla royal family's founder, Sheikh Rashid Bin Majid Al Mualla, ruled Umm Al Quwain in 1768, making it the city's oldest historical structure. The fort was initially used as his residence and administrative center, but since becoming a museum in 2000, it has become a memorial to the history of the little emirate. Visitors can tour the property's former prison, weapon room, military room, and numerous other household spaces, providing a glimpse into construction methods used long before the contemporary UAE was created.
Siniya Island
Take a boat from the shore to Siniya Island, which is eight kilometers east of Umm Al Quwain, where the island provides a fantastic glimpse into the historical and ecological splendor of the emirate. Before relocating to the mainland 200 years ago, Umm Al Quwain residents first settled on the island. Visitors can see a variety of wildlife on the island, including birds like the Socotra Cormorant and the Arabian Gazelle. The island is known for its mangroves, ghaf trees, and desert flora and fauna. On the island, there are 65 different archaeological sites, including burials, building remnants, and towers.
Dreamland Aqua Park
Dreamland, one of the oldest water parks in the area, has established itself as a landmark. The park, which opened in 1997, is 250,000 square meters in size and has more than 30 rides, slides, and other attractions. Families can camp overnight or rent an air-conditioned cabana for a day to enjoy the park's beautiful gardens on the coast. This area is more than just a waterpark.
Labsah Camel Racing Track
Camel racing is one of the oldest Emirati customs and is popular with both royals and commoners. It is a unique event in the nation and gives locals an opportunity to show off their cherished possessions. This is where the more genuine aspect of the country can be seen, even though it's a little bit rougher around the edges than events like the Dubai World Cup. Weekends in the winter are often when races take place around the 4 km track. Watch this amazing camel race after getting your emirates visa for South African passport holders.

Summer Family Reunion
This is the Palmers' first summer in the new house! Mason and Sabrina wanted to take advantage of their big backyard and host a family reunion! Unfortunately Mason's dad and a couple of his siblings couldn't make it as Mason's dad had taken them camping, but everyone else was able to join. Andy and Mason manned the grill, the kids took turns on the monkey bars and running with the dog, and everyone took turns passing baby Carson around. All in all, it was a perfect day and Sabrina was lucky to get everyone to cooperate for a photo.
From left to right from Sabrina's POV:
Ground: Jasmine (niece from Nicholas/Annelise), Sadie the dog, Carson (son), Ben (nephew from Nicholas/Annelise), Theo (son), Pixel the cat
Couch: Annelise (sister-in-law, Nicholas' wife), Nicholas (brother), Millie (mother-in-law, Mason's mom), Mina (mom), Samuel (son), Andy (dad), Noah (son), Sabrina
Standing: Melissa (sister-in-law, Mason's sister), Mason (husband)

The Strange Case of Wordgirl and Miss Crimes: Chapter 9
When the Henchmen came back after doing some errands, Dr. Two Brains went on to make some cheese filled ravioli for dinner. Becky had always enjoyed her dad’s cooking even after he acquired his cheese obsession. Since Dr. Two Brains was about the only person in this city who could live on eating just cheese and drinking liquids, the mad scientist had to get creative and compromise with the rest of the non mouse hybrid inhabitants of the warehouse on the topic of food requirements. The solution was different types of foods that were made with cheese as a main ingredient such as grilled cheese sandwiches or lasagna, but of course made with extra cheese courteously of the city’s resident mouse man. Two Brains also added side items such as vegetables and fruits with the meals for the others as well. Just as Two Brains promised, after dinner he, Becky, and Bob sat down to watch Pretty Princess and Magic Pony. The Henchmen also joined in because they love the show as well. Everyone except Two Brains enjoyed seeing Pretty Princess vanquish the evil Count Cloudy. Dr. Two Brains never really enjoyed the show even before his accident, he just did not see the appeal that many residents, including his daughter and his own henchmen, saw in this brightly colored show. But Dr. Two Brains did enjoy spending as much time with his daughter as he could, even if it was watching something that made him grimace internally. Two Brains was especially focused on finding as much time as he could to spend with his child now days with the whole villainy thing and spending time behind iron bars. He just didn’t want to miss his child growing up due to his own follies. Later that night as Becky got ready for bed and Bob was already on his bean bag bed, Becky thought back to the conversation with her dad a few hours earlier. She knew deep down that her dad was right and she shouldn’t be constantly worrying about her dad and just live her life as a kid, well as an alien kid but that was besides the point. She still couldn’t help but think back on how her dad said he performed many check ups on himself and that he said he was doing fine. Becky then remembered how Professor Tubing said he wasn’t sure if her dad was aware of the other purposes of the mouse brain. ‘Maybe dad does know and didn’t tell me because he didn’t want me to worry about the possibility of being fused to Squeaky for some more years.’ Becky pondered in her head. Becky was no longer bothered by the fact that her dad seemed to enjoy being a villain. What did bother her was how he was forced to commit heinous acts because of a vicious and parasitic mouse brain, and how his genetic fusion could end up one day being irreversibly harmful towards his health and life. She was soon startled out of her worrying thoughts by Bob’s monkey squeaks. She then turned to face Bob who was looking at her with concern and apprehensiveness. “Sorry Bob, I got distracted. What did you want to say?” Becky asked him as she was returning to the reality that was her bedroom. ‘Becky, are you sure you still want to go through Dr. Jenkins’ plan? Even after your dad said he was fine the way he was now.’ Bob gingerly asked the young girl. A flash of anger appeared in Becky’s eyes before she calmed herself down. As much as she was clearly upset with what Bob suggested, she did know where his words were coming from as Becky did notice him listening in on the conversation between her and her dad. “Bob, dad needs this experiment to work for him.” Becky said with a determined voice. “As much as dad says he is fine now, who knows how he will be in the near feature or if Squeaky tries to take over his body and mind again without his consent. We can’t let that parasite continue to control dad’s life anymore.” as much as he believed in Two Brains words since the guy was a scientist, Squeaky was an unpredictable problem. The monkey could still not help but to worry if things with this Dr. Jenkins will backfire or not.
