#quick marriage loan
steddielations · 11 months
Text
Eddie should’ve never taken that loan. It was at the start of his career, he was young and desperate to make it in the industry. It was just to fund his demo tapes but he should’ve known better than to get entangled with the mob, it wouldn’t end there. Once his music took off, they wanted more and more.
Now he has a life, a husband, they’re talking about adopting and Eddie hates himself for keeping this from Steve. He rationalized it, didn’t want to drag Steve into his mess, thought he could keep quietly paying but they want too much now. Eddie’s career isn’t as active anymore, there’s no way Steve won’t notice, they’ll go bankrupt, revealing this secret that he shouldn’t have kept for so long.
He’s gotten a few ominous calls and an unfriendly visitor at the studio that made it clear, they want their money and they’re gonna get it. He has to tell Steve, it’s getting too dangerous. So now he’s sitting across the dinner table from his husband, over a meal so lovingly made for them, about to blow up their life.
“Sweetheart, there’s something—”
There’s a noise outside the window, could’ve just been the wind but there’s more noises, people… footsteps… Eddie grabs Steve, dragging him to the bedroom as he demands to know what’s going on. Eddie tells him everything, in a hushed voice crouching inside their closet with tears brimming, he tells him every lie that’s caught up to them, stained their marriage, apologizes for putting their lives in danger and Steve—
Steve is rifling through the closet, pushing aside clothes to reveal the wall. There’s a compartment behind a painting that Eddie’s never seen. He watches, speechless and shocked to his core as his husband, his kindergarten teacher husband who wears ironed polos and makes dinner every night in a ‘kiss the cook’ apron, takes several lethal looking weapons from the wall and starts loading them up, quick and efficient like a machine.
“Steve, what—”
“You’re not the only one with secrets, love,” he presses a firm, forgiving kiss to Eddie’s forehead and leads him out of the closet, weapon raised, “Now get behind me.”

My Angelic Husband is actually a Devil in Disguise - By Haemyang (7.5/10)
Tumblr media
You have to like bratty yanderes if you want to read this one. Our heroine is a flawless and dignified hard worker. Her husband is a moron who flunked out of school. I do think the premise for this one is kind of unique, but the first part of this love story is a little grating. It's dramatic and annoying!
Setia is the only reasonable member of her family. She can see the writing on the wall. Her father is a very low noble, with a ridiculous sense of pride. His wife overspends. He spends lavishly too, all so he can fit in with the cool kids at the ball. Setia puts herself through school with scholarships. She tries to become a pillar of support for her irresponsible family.
Tumblr media
They betray her. As soon as she comes of age her father tries to sell her to a harem. This is a GIGANTIC insult to Setia. Her hard work has been keeping the family afloat, but her father is willing to sell her for quick cash.
Setia is forced to flee.
She makes money doing side jobs, and she's poor??? Justice does not save her. She is able to avoid marriage, but she had to sacrifice her education and future.
It's frankly awful.
Tumblr media
This is the useless idiot Count. He is widely regarded as the worst possible husband. His family is wealthy, sure. He's the only heir, sure...but he's a national embarrassment. Literally. If there was another heir he would have been booted years ago. He flunked school. Setia was top of her class, but she's in rags and he has riches.
It's all so unfair.
He knows he's dumb.
So he asks Setia to marry him, for four years under contract. He claims he needs someone to protect the family money while he pulls himself together.
Count Miere has cash, so she says yes.
Tumblr media
His chill, easygoing attitude....wins her over?????
Setia is a workaholic. She has lived a dull life.
Miere grows flowers. That's his hobby. They walk through the beautiful paths he planted together, and she relaxes. Miere is a good companion, and he is very lenient with her.
He doesn't act like her boss.
His kindness works on her like magic...
.
.
.
Sudden hint.
Miere has been loaning Setia's family cash.
He thought about killing them too.
Setia did cut ties after all, but he decides to let them live.
.....huh?
Isn't this guy supposed to be a moron?
Tumblr media
Miere fucking dies in a bandit attack.
That makes Setia hot, rich and single.
She should be happy.
Her stupid husband died offscreen...but she misses the goof.
She hunts down the bandits for revenge.
She was falling in love.
She sits alone, in his beautiful garden, for three whole years.
Tumblr media
The asshole returns alive...with the title of Duke!
You see, Miere isn't a total moron. His parents were murdered. He wanted revenge. He supported the right prince. He played dead for three years. In exchange for putting the prince on the throne he got a Dukedom, and sweet vindictive satisfaction.
He hired Setia because he really needed someone smart to protect his assets when he was gone.
.....he didn’t tell her anything because he WANTED HER TO MOURN HIM. When he learns she hunted down the bandits for him HE'S HAPPY.
Wow what a freak.
He cutely begs for forgiveness and Setia accepts.
Tumblr media
....even though a better man has been courting her...
Roynus is a hard worker, like Setia. He is also outgoing, popular and handsome. He deeply loves Setia. He's been trying to win her over for two years.
When Miere returns during the new coronation Roynus literally begs her to pick him instead...in front of Miere.
Tumblr media
Reni, Setia's personal maid, knows Miere is a dick. He's not actually stupid, but his actual personality is awful. He's got no friends. He's not sociable. He dedicated too much of his life to revenge, and now he's a weirdo.
Miere has been using Reni to spy on Setia during his absence. He knows how hurt Setia was when he pretended to die...but he just immediately starts whining about how he wants to kill Roynus...
Tumblr media
He also casually threatens to murder Reni, because she didn’t include Roynus in her reports to him.
Reni says she didn’t because Roynus fed her yummy food...but it's clear that Reni didn’t rat him out because Setia was lonely.
She needed a friend.
She isolated herself when Miere "died".
Reni respects Setia, so she didn’t report everything to her asshole master.
Tumblr media
Miere no longer has to hide. He starts dressing better and he uses his looks to seduce Setia.
...they aren't a bad couple.
They get along really well, but Miere is an ACTUAL BAD GUY. He isn't cursed. He didn’t do bad things for the greater good. Nope! He unseated the old king entirely for revenge. He's clearly been spying on Setia for ages. He's started cutting off her friends. He lies constantly. He hides his bad side from her. The list is endless. He's extremely controlling, and he acts cute about it.
Setia is happy, so I can't really complain, but this guy is GRATING.
He is pretty unique though.

Hello, beauty! Congrats on your follower milestone 🥳
A prompt for you: Ransom + 😌😏
Hi Siri😌❤️
Thank you for your love and support :3
ksjsjskskskks 😏 ←that lil smirk is so Ransom! Hoe-kay, for this I present to you:
Payback Time
Ransom Drysdale x Reader (you)
Summary: Ransom is getting his payback for you, public enemy No.1.
Warning: Step-cest tendency (Cousin!Ramson x Cousin!Reader), not blood related, they are both grown-ups, Ransom is being vengeful, Harlan is very much alive.
Tumblr media
Harlan is going to kill him.
Not now, obviously, but when Harlan finds out about what he is doing to you.
Harlan is going to murder him and write this story into a book.
But it doesn't matter. Ransom hums in content, snuggling further under the covers, sighing due to the warm and softness of the bedding.
That old man grows fond of you by day, ever since you came to this mansion on your own with a suitcase of books and clothes. Ransom huffs in annoyance. If there's one thing he cannot stand, is a random person (aka you), materializing out of thin air, completely unrelated by blood or marriage, and sets out to snatch a portion of Harlan's property.
According to the old man, you were the daughter of the adoptive child from Harlan's sister. His sister took care of your mother as her own, and before both of them died of illness, Harlan's brother in-law kicked you out of the house. Which is why Harlan's sister called before your arrival, asking her brother to take care of you. While Harlan and his sister wasn't on best terms when she married her husband, Harlan was far too kind and agreed for you to stay as long as you wish, paying off your college loan and medical bills that his brother in-law kicked out of the house along with you.
You are a pre-med student in your junior year, which means getting up early and going to bed late, spending few hours in the mansion. Even so, you manage to find the time, either learning how to take care of Harlan like Marta, or chatting with Harlan and play chess.
Ransom huffs again, not only were you a kiss-ass, but also stupidly quick learner at chess - Harlan asked Ransom to play against you one night, and you won. But only out of sheer dumb beginner's luck.
So, he's getting his payback.
Ransom tightens the thick duvet around his body - his almost naked body, and listens carefully to the soft creaking in the stairs.
He knows it's you, with your cautious steps up the screeching floor, while you don't want to wake any living soul in this house at 11:30 pm, dragging your tired ass - you have a good ass, by the way - up two floors, and rest in the room, which apparently became yours rather than his, even though every family in this house knows this room was originally his, and that Harlan asked Fran to clean up his room, RANSOM'S ROOM, for you, which Harlan announced that it would make you feel more like home if you were not living in one of the guest rooms.
Oh, so Ransom will feel more like home if he lives in one of the guest rooms when he drops by every holiday?
Harlan is probably charmed by you, some voodoo shit, or drugged by that idiot-brain Marta.
He holds his breath and closes his eyes, pretending to be sound asleep, as the door squeaks open, leading to your small gasp.
"Ransom!" You hiss in the smallest voice you manage, "Ransom! What are you doing in my bed?!"
After he yelled at his mother, calling her an "old hag", changed the lock to this room, and cut holes in your sweater, you know he wants his room back.
Not that you intend to sabotage his plans, being a guest in this household, how on earth can you give the room to him when Harlan has specifically told you that he would find a way for Ransom to stop bothering about which room belongs to whom?
"Ransom!" You hiss again, "I can see your body trembling under the covers! I have a class at eight and I need to sleep!"
Smiling brightly, Ransom pulls the cover down, revealing his - almost - naked body.
"Ransom!" You cover your eyes with a squeal, "Are you- Why- You are naked!"
"Come on, Cousin. You wanna tell me that you are not interested in this?" He gestures down his body as if displaying an exhibit. Cocking an eyebrow, he challenges your sanity with every word that comes out of his mouth, "One good fuck in exchange for my room?"
Silence. Dreadful silence fills the room.
Ransom has that annoying smirk up on his lips, looking down at his grey boxers, "...no? Shame." He swings the thick cover back on, muttering to himself, "Okay. Nevermind. I guess I will just ... enjoy this soft cushy bed on my own..."
"Hugh Ransom Drysdale!" You tear the heavy duvet from his body, "GET OUT OF MY BED!"
Okay fine. He looks like a living Adonis with his abs and biceps. So what?
You avoid looking at his God-like body and his eyes, whisper-yelling, "Get off or I swear I will wake up everyone in this house and tell them about how awful you are!"
Ransom yawns, completely oblivious to your weak threat, which he knows it is the last thing you will do - make a fuss about your living condition in front of all these Cold-blooded creatures.
"Ransom!" You huff at his attempt of grabbing the duvet, "If you insist on taking up my bed, at least you can tell me where the empty guest room is."
"Nope." Answers Ransom, popping the "p" between his wickedly seducing lips, "You got two options here. The floor," he points at the small space between the mahogany desk and the four-posters, "or here." He pats on his bed - wait that's your bed! - softly, "With me."
You clutch the edge of your sweater tightly, a small movement that did not missed Ransom's eyes.
"Or good luck finding Franny in this god forsaken house and 'waking up everyone' to tell them about how I mistreated my cousin." Ransom grins, "So, what do you think?"
It doesn't surprise Ransom when you take the duvet completely and roll up some of your clothing for a makeshift pillow on the floor. You are too tired to argue and too scared to disturb a family you barely know.
You turn off the light and lie down on the ground without another word.
... he may have gone a little too far.
His heart skips a beat when he hears a soft sigh of yours. Why should he feel weird about this? You are the one who is about to be part of Harlan's will and snatch Harlan's adoration. Taking up your bed - his bed, whatever whose bed seems childish. It bothers you, sure, but he never wanted for you to sleep on the ground.
Christ, why couldn't you be a kiss-ass for him like how you treat Harlan? That way he'd feel much more comfortable about making you sleep on the cold, hard, creaking floor - ugh!
Ransom cannot bear the thought any longer of you sleeping on the ground, which is why he gets up from the bed, swings his sweater and pants over his shoulders, and kicks your foot condescendingly, "Your bed sucks." Before strolling out of the room, stepping on the staircases loudly so the entire house could hear.
You suck. He thinks, setting foot on the creakiest spot he could find for these wooden planks. And if he cannot sleep at almost 12 o'clock, neither will the rest of the house.

hii!! i suddenly have a pierro brainrot that i have to share to you!!
it's a royalty au and i kinda imagine the setting to be like historical manhwas.
y/n's father is a noble but he has some debts to the throne. the harbingers are nobles who serves the throne directly. so y/n's father sold y/n as a betrothed for one of the harbingers expecting for her to be matched with either childe/pantalone/dottore. but turns out she's betrothed to pierro who's way older than her
i hope this makes sense 😭 ik it's rather cliche sorry
and if this emoji is not taken already can i be 🌸 anon? thank uu!!
hi love!! AND YES I LOVE THIS THANK YOU THANK YOU <333 also i think that this emoji is already taken :(( maybe you could come up with something different?
fem!reader, tiny bit of mentions of violence, age gap, shitty fathers and noble pierro thirsting after you
imagine that it was actually pierro who was secretly pulling some threads from behind the scenes. he knew that your father wasn't a very capable businessman and made some...questionable investments and deals and now he's indebted to the throne. the many loan papers stacked on his desk and the threat of the regrator finally calling in for the money looming over him, and while your father might not be the brightest he's very much aware that it will mean your family's bankruptcy and ultimately, your downfall.
if you're drowning you'll grab even the blade of a knife; when he was finally called into the palace about the repayment he was panicking, pleading his case,
'just a few more months i promise!' but his desperate words fell on deaf ears as everyone had enough of his worthless wailing.
this is where in the heat of the moment he blurted out that he has a daughter, a young daughter that's just of marrying age and he'd be more than wiling to graciously present his darling only daughter to one of the most esteemed harbingers in exchange for more time.
frankly speaking pierro thought it was pathetic, basically selling his only daughter like some cattle to settle a debt he himself got into.
the white haired man frowned, deep in thought. he knew about you, saw you on one banquet or two while accompanying your father and he had to admit, you were a true beauty. beautiful soft (s/c) skin, glossy well kept (h/c) hair, doe like (e/c) eyes and those beautiful luscious lips that kept him awake more often than he'd like to admit. and yet what truly captivated him was your personality; soft spoken and polite with a quick and witty mind, the round of chess he invited you to play with while won on his part, was the most difficult one he'd had in a long time.
'yes' pierro thought, 'she'll be perfect, my precious future lady wife'.
the man almost smirked at the bewildered look on your father's face when he announced that he was the one to take your hand in marriage, the fool looked like he was about to piss himself. pierro was no fool, he knew very well that he was getting old and your father dearest probably hoped for someone younger like that brat childe or even pantalone.
but no, absolutely not. pierro was a terribly jealous and possessive man, if he wanted something he'd get it no matter the cost. frankly, it wasn't that hard to get your papa to agree to his demands, the vivid vision of breaking him on a cross, cutting fingers off one by one or whatever dottore has in mind definitely helped him make the right decision.
pierro allowed himself to smirk only when he returned to his chambers for the night. soon he'd have you as his perfect little wife here with him to keep him company, warm his bed on cold snezhnayan nights and finally have someone to return to after a tiring day of harbinger duties.
and all it took was one ridiculously high loan.

Cruel Summer
Tumblr media
All Chan-Mi wanted was an escape but when had Universe ever heard her?
Warnings: Yandere, Manipulation, Obsession, Mentions of abuse
P.S: Uffff, this took so much longer than I anticipated! Writer's block quite fast there 🥲 Anyways, it's here now! As usual, it's not proof-read I apologise!
Lord Jee was in a frenzy. An important guest was coming tomorrow to discuss the village state and welfare. But this wasn’t important because he cared about the welfare of the people. This was important because this visit meant his promotion and promotion meant money. And Jee loved money. There was no other way around it. 
“Chan Mi! Are you even listening to me?!” demanded Lord Jee making Chan-Mi flinch. Chan-Mi chose her words carefully. She did not want to aggravate her husband more than he was. His anger knew no bounds, the marks on her body was a proof of that.  “I am My Lord, I am sure Lord Kim will love the preparations..you are doing for him..”
“This will be great opportunity for us to move to the capital. We will be drowning in money..once we move there..” Lord Jee replied with a sinister smile. Chan-Mi could only hope this worked. She did not want to deal with another session of him taking out his anger on her. She had not yet healed fully from the last one..evident in her slow movements. 
She could remember the day when her father announced her marriage to Lord Jee. They were poor with no way to repay the loan her father had taken for the crops. But when the crops failed and Lord Jee took a liking to her..her father could not refuse. The money was great and would help them survive the harsh winter. Even if it meant sacrificing his eldest daughter. Chani-Mi was 25 now and had long lost contact with her family following her marriage. Lord Jee did not allow her to leave the house often. Chan-Mi could count the handful of the times she got to see the outside world. She longed to escape from here.
The change was coming and it would be something Chan-Mi would have never guessed. 
 *-------*--------*
“I heard you are going tomorrow to the country side, hyung” Jimin asked as he brandished his sword at Namjoon.
Namjoon swung his sword back at Jimin at full pace while grumbling “Yeah, well..King’s orders. Some Lord Jee is making trouble in the country side..God these low lifes can’t just live their lives in peace, can they?”
Jimin snickered, “Hyung, who doesn’t like money? And well if he makes too much noise, killing a small town Lord wouldn’t be that much of an issue for a skilled warrior as you.” Jimin raised his hands in defeat when he felt Namjoon’s sword at his neck. Sigh.
Namjoon smirked. He is a skilled warrior, he knew that, heck everyone knew that. But he hated these visits. These country Lords always tried to act sweet like honey to gain favour and Namjoon loathed people who honeycombed their words. He was a direct man with few words and sharp eyes. Nothing escaped them. 
“Sheeshh, you need to work on your skills more..be more quick on your feet, Jimin” Namjoon advised as he helped Jimin get back up. 
“Yeah..yeah” Jimin moaned in pain. The fall was rough. “And you need to be more gentle with me, hyung!” He complained. Namjoon laughed. The fight was good. He felt energised. “Let’s meet get refreshed, we also need to discuss our strategy for the capital protection”
 *-------*--------*
Chan-Mi felt stressed as she ran up and down the house to check everything was perfect. Lord Jee was getting on her nerves with constant questioning of how things were coming along. By now she was drenched in sweat with beads sticking to her forehead. 
“My Lady, I think you should take a break..um..the guest does not arrive until the evening..and it’s only morning right now..” Chan-Mi’s personal maid Jiya murmured. 
“I will in a while..I just need to instruct the chef’s about the menu for tonight, and then make sure the guest room is ready and then arrange for the entertainers tonight and then-” 
Jiya sighed looking at the young agassi's haggard look. Jiya knew she had the look of pity for Chan-Mi, but who wouldn’t? Poor girl had left one hell to enter another hell. Perhaps even worse than before. Life was truly unfair to some people. 
“As you see fit, My Lady” Jiya resigned. 
Chan-Mi could feel the sympathy in Jiya’s eyes. And it made her skin crawl. She detested being pitied. She knew her circumstances weren’t ideal with an abusive husband and limited freedom but that didn’t mean she wanted to be pitied. However, Chan-Mi had a plan to escape her hell. Unknown to all, Chan-Mi had been poisoning Lord Jee slowly since the past year. It gave her immense thrill to him losing his strength slowly without him even realising it. It was sick of her, she knew, but she couldn’t help this darkness growing inside her. It wouldn’t be long before I gain my freedom..it’s a matter of time. Just thinking about it gave her hope.
Chan-Mi had a serene smile when she replied, “Let’s get back to work.”
 *-------*--------*
Namjoon felt bored. It was hot and dry. How far was this godforsaken place? Ugh. It took him another hour before he reached Jee’s home. It was decorated beautifully he thought. But the heat here was unpleasant along with the scenes he saw on street. The entire village reeked of poverty and destitution. He couldn’t wait to mess up with this Jee. Corruption was not taken lightly by the King and it was quite clear that this old fool was not using the money sent for the betterment of this village. 
“My Lord!” Jee enthusiastically advanced towards Namjoon “It is my honour to host you tonight. I cannot tell you how excited I am!”
Namjoon on the other hand wanted to smack Jee. Why so chirpy. Namjoon scoffed at the fake excitement. “Lord Jee, it’s good to see you. I have been looking forward to this visit” Namjoon  lied smoothly. The faster the talks got over, the faster he could go back. But what Namjoon saw the next second made time stop for him. A pretty, no perhaps the most beautiful girl descended down the stairs. She was small, delicate and had the most charming smile he had ever seen. It lit up the night. He felt his heart thrashing wildly against his chest with only one question running his head. Who is she? He wanted to know her better. Perhaps he will have to prolong his stay, afterall?
But her hair..they were tied. Namjoon hoped against all odds that she was not married. “My Lord, meet my wife..Chan-Mi” Lord Jee grinned. Namjoon felt a crack in his heart. Just my luck. 
Chan-Mi gasped when she looked at Namjoon. He looked divine with his muscular arms and dragon eyes. But Chan-Mi also felt she needed to stay from him. There was something in his slanted eyes that spoke of authority, wickedness and lust. And the way his eyes were looking at her, it left a chill down her spine. I definitely needed to maintain distance from him. Even if it’s just tonight. 
“My Lord, hope you have wonderful stay at our home” Chan-Mi murmured while bowing down. Namjoon on the other hand could not stop staring at her. Everything about Chan-Mi was calling to him..to make her his. We would look so good together. Namjoon could already picture them together. But she was married. Not for long.
“Let’s get going Lord Jee? We have a lot of things to go over.” Namjoon grinned, his set at Chan-Mi. 
 *-------*--------*
Namjoon spent the better half of the evening observing Chan-Mi. She was mostly quiet but what her mouth couldn’t speak, her expressions did. All she felt was visible on her face. Namjoon knew that she could feel his eyes on her even when he was interacting with Jee. But she pretended to be oblivious which was adorable. 
As the night progressed and Jee started getting drunk, Chan-Mi became more relaxed. And Namjoon more aggressive with his approach in talking to her. 
“How did you two get married? I cannot fathom such a beautiful lady as you married to such a vile man.” curious Namjoon asked.
Chan-Mi choked on her food as she looked at Namjoon who was looking at her with an expression she could not decipher. “Uh..that’s quite a personal question, My Lord,” Chan-Mi hesitated, “One, I am not comfortable speaking.” 
Namjoon smiled for the first time that night. His interest spiked even more. Not only was she composed but also had a spite in her voice, just as he had guessed. This is going to be interesting. 
“You are not of noble birth, are you?” Namjoon asked raising his eyebrows. Chan-Mi blushed, then frowned and finally glared at him. Namjoon felt exhilarated from her reaction. So, she wasn’t. He was correct. 
“What made you marry him?” he provoked further. Namjoon was frankly enjoying her expressions. Like a cat and mouse game. 
Chan-Mi looked back at Namjoon with wide eyes before standing up suddenly “My Lord, I understand that you are an important guest and I welcome you in my house with full respect. However, you are crossing a line here!” How dare he? Who was he to think that he could question her in her house?! Agreed she wasn’t of noble birth but she was a noble Lady now. And she would not tolerate strange man questioning her. 
“I think, it’s time that I should take my leave now. Since, my husband is here already and you are here only for tonight…I should leave you two to disc-” 
Adorable. “I am not staying just for the night My Lady” he smirked, “I am here for quite some time. You should get used to me now.” For I am your future. 
Disrespect was something, Namjoon did not tolerate well. Granted his little kitten did not know that now, but the sooner he tamed her, better it would be for her. Namjoon stoop up and began walking towards her. “What are you doing?” Chani-Mi spoke alarmingly walking backwards as he progressed when she felt the wall hit her back. Uh-oh. He watched her like a starved man. This was not good, especially when her husband laid there drunk out of this mind to register what was happening in the room. 
“What am I doing?” Namjoon asked back as he encircled her waist to reel her in. Perfect. She was the perfect size for him. “You are so small” Namjoon cooed looking down at her, “I am going to tell you this once. And you must hear me clearly, understood kitten?” 
Chan-Mi could feel her heart beating wildly. She tried squirming away without much luck. His arms were like iron around her..caging her. “I am not interested in your games.” She growled at him. 
“Enough” Namjoon tugged her hair harshly before bringing his lips to her ears and spoke “Silly kitten, I am not the one to play games, understood?” grinding himself against her. Chan-Mi felt scared for the first time that evening. This was not how it was supposed to go. 
“You are going to confess to his crimes tomorrow..and once that’s done both you and him are going to be jailed for trial” Namjoon trailed his fingers from her hair to her breast, rolling her nipple between his fingers. Even her breast were of perfect size for his hands. He couldn’t wait to have her under him. “But I have taken a liking to you, my kitten..so, I am going to save you under one condition..be mine.”
If possible his touch became more aggressive and his dragon eyes more dark. His obsession flowing from them. Namjoon knew what he felt was beyond love. But he couldn’t stop himself. He had to make her his..his little kitten. 
“You have the whole night to think it over but be assured kitten even if you say no…I am going to take you back with me..” Namjoon looked into her eyes for a good measure, “the only difference is, if you say yes you will not be punished by me. Clear?” 
Change had come truly, just not the one Chan-Mi wished. Cruel Summer indeed.

THIS DAY IN GAY HISTORY
based on: The White Crane Institute's 'Gay Wisdom', Gay Birthdays, Gay For Today, Famous GLBT, glbt-Gay Encylopedia, Today in Gay History, Wikipedia, and more … April 19
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
1759 – August Wilhelm Iffland the German actor, playwright and librettist was born on this date (d.1814). Iffland was a powerful force in the German theater of the 18th century, even though his plays are generally unknown outside his native country.
In 1810, he was "outed" by Heinrich von Kleist, the poet, author and playright. Kelist offered August Wilhelm Iffland, who at that time was the director of the Nationaltheater, the chance to stage his play Käthchen of Heilbronn. When Iffland refused, Kleist branded him a homosexual.
On 1 October 1810, Kleist surprised the people of Berlin by setting up a daily newspaper. The Berliner Abendblätter appeared every day except Sundays for half a year in the convenient octavo format at a price of eight Pfennigs. The newspaper provided a diverse mixture of information to suit every taste: police announcements, military anecdotes, poems, aesthetic essays such as Kleist's famous article "On the Marionette Theatre", critical looks at the Prussian government, and polemic attacks on Iffland's theatre and his homosexuality. Kleist's paper was shut down by Germain authorities and the attacks ceased. Kleist committed suicide soon after.
Iffland died in Berlin on 22 September 1814. A bronze portrait statue of him was erected in front of the Mannheim theater in 1864. A street in Berlin is named after him. The Iffland-Ring bears Iffland's likeness, and is borne by the most important German-speaking actor, as decided by his predecessor.

Tumblr media
1834 – Prince Edmond De Polignac the French composer was born on this date (d.1901). A descendant of one of the more illustrious families of France. His father Auguste Jules Armand Marie, Prince de Polignac (1780-1847) was the Minister of State in the Restoration government of King Charles X, and was the author of the Thirty Ordinances in 1830, which revoked the Constitution, suspended freedom of the press, and gave the king extraordinary powers, including absolute power in the name of "insuring the safety of the state".
In 1875 a new friend entered de Polignac's life, Comte Robert de Montesquiou, a beautiful and intelligent man twenty-one years his junior. They shared many interests, and began an intimate relationship at that time. In his later years, Montesquiou used his wit to shield himself from sincere emotional interaction. He is remembered as a model for Des Esseintes in Huysman's A Rebours, and the Baron de Charlus in Proust's À la recherche du temps perdu. Through Montesquiou's circle, Polignac made the acquaintance of Elisabeth, comtesse Greffulhe and of Gabriel Fauré, and became a member of the Société Nationale de Musique, where his compositions were performed alongside those of Chausson, Debussy, and Fauré.
By 1892, Polignac, inept with money and impoverished through investments in a series of get-rich-quick schemes, was destitute; his nephews helped him with loans, but noted that desperate action was needed. The solution they suggested was marriage to a woman of appropriate means. Polignac discussed the matter with Montesquiou, and Montesquiou with his cousin Élisabeth Greffulhe, and out of these conversations the name of Winnaretta Eugenie Singer, daughter of Isaac Singer, the sewing machine tycoon, with her marriage to Prince Louis de Scey-Montbéliard lately annulled, arose.
Singer's social status could be improved by marrying a prince, even a poor one. And the arrangement would have other benefits: Winnaretta was Lesbian and not sexually interested in men at all. She was intimately interested in music, however, something the two did have in common.
Polignac asked the Comtesse Greffulhe to sound out Madame Singer on the subject of a mariage blanc (unconsummated marriage), in which each partner would have their own bed but would share artistic interests. Montesquiou, who collaborated with Winnaretta on some artistic projects, asked her to speak with Madame Greffulhe, and there the arguments were reviewed; her social position, compromised by divorce, would be improved by an alliance with one of the oldest and most distinguished aristocratic families in France; with the thirty-one year age difference, and the predilections of the bride and groom, Winnaretta would be free to lead her personal life as she wished, with no sexual demands from Edmond.
The advantages clear, a friendship and affection grew. In November 1893, Edmond proposed marriage to Winnaretta, and she accepted, a year after the idea had first been broached. On 15 December 1893 the couple were married by the Abbé de Broglie in the Chapelle des Carmes. The union received the blessings of Pope Leo XIII.
Montesquiou felt slighted when Edmond was not sufficiently grateful, and the friendship was irrevocably broken.
Ed. Note: The house of Polignac is also (technically) the current Princely House of Monaco; Prince Ranier (late husband of Grace Kelly) was the son of a Monagasque princess and a Polignac. For patriotic reasons, the princely house still keeps the name Grimaldi, though it has passed through the female line a couple of times. This is certainly a family with an interesting past and present.

1946 – Tim Curry, British actor and famed on-screen outerspace transvestite was born on this date. Curry's first full-time role was as part of the original London cast of the musical Hair in 1968, where he first met Richard O'Brien who went on to write Curry's next full-time and perhaps still most famous role, that of Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Show. Originally, Curry rehearsed the character with a German accent and peroxide blond hair, but the character evolved into the sly, very upper-class English mad scientist and transvestite that carried over to the movie version of The Rocky Horror Picture Show and made Curry both a star and a cult figure.
He continued to play the character in London, Los Angeles, and New York until 1975. For many years, Curry was reluctant to talk about Rocky Horror, feeling that it was a trend that had gone too far and had distracted attention away from his later roles.
On 23 May 2013, Curry was reported to have suffered a major stroke at his home in Los Angeles. Although many sources suggested the stroke had made it difficult for him to speak, his longtime agent Marcia Hurwitz told the Daily Mail "Tim is doing great," and that 'He absolutely can speak and is recovering at this time and in great humour'. Shortly after the initial report, Hurwitz told The Hollywood Reporter that the stroke actually occurred in July 2012, and that Curry had been going to physical therapy. As a result of the stroke, he uses a wheelchair.

1967 – The Student Homophile League of Columbia University becomes the first U.S. gay college group to obtain a campus charter. The SHL had twelve members who fought with university administrators for a year before the group was officially recognized.
Stephen Donaldson, a bisexual-identified LGBT rights activist is commemorated by a plaque in the Queer Lounge that bears his name in one of Columbia’s residence halls for spearheading the creation of the group.
When the charter was ultimately granted in April 1967, it earned media attention with the New York Times printing a story on the front page. The Columbia Daily Spectator reported that some students believed that the creation of the group was an April Fool’s joke. The group is still in existence to this day and is now called the Columbia Queer Alliance

1978 – James Franco is an American actor, filmmaker, and teacher.
His first prominent acting role was the lead character Daniel Desario on the short-lived cult hit television program Freaks and Geeks. He later played the title character in the TV biographical film James Dean (2001), for which he won a Golden Globe Award. He played Harry Osborn in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy (2002–2007). He is also known for his roles in the films Flyboys (2006), Pineapple Express (2008), Milk (2008), 127 Hours (2010), Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011), Oz the Great and Powerful (2013), Spring Breakers (2013), This Is the End (2013) and The Interview (2014). He had a recurring role in the ABC soap opera General Hospital. For his role in 127 Hours, Franco was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor.
Franco volunteers for the Art of Elysium charity and has taught a class at New York University in feature filmmaking and production. In 2013, he began teaching a course in short film production at the University of Southern California and a course in screenwriting at his alma mater, University of California, Los Angeles.
In response to questions regarding his sexuality now that he has portrayed three gay characters during his acting career, he insists he finds plenty more dimensions to the characters than their bedroom proclivities. "Or, you know what," he quipped, "maybe I’m just gay."
Those rumors led to a Gawker article linking him to a New York Post Page Six blind item about a closeted gay actor, nicknamed "the Gay Rapist". Despite the victim of the alleged attack denying that it was Franco, two magazines then contacted Franco's lawyer to alert them that they might run stories suggesting his involvement, but were unable to, as at least part of their stories were fabricated. However, Gawker refused to take their article down as they were simply reporting what another outlet published and instead offered him a chance to make a comment about the speculation on its website. He declined, hoping it would die down. The actor later called the episode very offensive because he has friends who have been raped.
In I Am Michael (2014), he plays real-life figure Michael Glatze, a former gay activist who leaves his boyfriend (Zachary Quinto) behind after declaring himself straight and becoming a pastor.
Franco says of the gay content of many of his projects:
"Some of it's coincidence, or the gay aspect of the project — like Hart Crane in The Broken Tower or Allen Ginsberg in Howl — is secondary. It wasn't like, 'We need to do this because he was gay.' It's because of their art, and then their art was partially informed by their sexuality. But then with something like Interior Leather Bar or Milk, those are obviously engaging with gay themes, gay rights, gay politics. In the case of Milk, once I did that movie, it kind of opened me up to a lot of things I hadn't really thought about because they hadn't been a part of my life. Lee Daniels says that gay rights are the civil rights of our era, so I like doing a movie like Milk or Interior Leather Bar where I can bring themes and ideas I've been engaged with, and do it in such a way that those ideas are pulled into the mainstream more."
In a March 2015 interview with Four Two Nine magazine, Franco again opened up about his sexuality, commenting that it is not who you have sex with that defines your sexuality, but instead how you act. "In the twenties and thirties, they used to define homosexuality by how you acted and not by whom you slept with. Sailors would fuck guys all the time, but as long as they behaved in masculine ways, they weren’t considered gay". Franco added, "Well, I like to think that I’m gay in my art and straight in my life."

1982 – The Gay Officers Action League, Inc. is founded by NYPD Sergeant Charles Cochrane and retired Detective Sam Ciccone etablishing the first official police fraternal society in the world to represent LGBT people within the criminal justice system.
Sergeant Cochrane, a 14 year veteran of the NYPD, created shock waves by testifying before a NYC Council hearing in favor of a gay rights bill. Following the testimony of a Patrolmens Benevolent Association Vice President, who denounced the bill and declared, "I didn't know of any homosexual police officers.", Cochrane stunned all present as well as NYC as a whole by his testimony: "I am very proud of being a New York City Police Officer, and I am equally proud of being gay."
In 1987, at the persistent urging of GOAL, NYPD began a concerted effort to actively enlist qualified gay candidates. In 2002, GOAL was admitted into COPS, The Committee of Police Societies, an organization consisting of all recognized NYPD religious, ethnic fraternal organizations.
Since its ineption, GOAL has evolved not only as a fraternal organization, but also as an activist organization that represents the interests of its LGBT members in all agencies and branches within the criminal justice system.

MUN INTRO: hi folks! happy soft opening, jia (s/h, 21+) here. i'll be writing for daeun, and if she reminds you of d*phne from scooby doo... yeah. ims/discord available for plotting- please ask! ♡
MUSE INTRO: baek daeun, 22, also @danidanidaeuni on the interwebs. making a living out of yapping about gruesome murders (read: disappointing her parents). back in town for her mom's birthday dinner... or so she claims, with a camera and idea for a shiny new series in hand.
when did your muse first arrive in yuseong bay?
got here literally a couple days ago!!! is staying at her parents', but dear god is she regretting it. is already looking at alternative accommodation. has been doing her best to work off the jetlag, but its really mostly been andante for coffee and back to her place to sleep/work.
what does an average day look like for your muse?
wake up somewhere between 9-10, get caffeine in her. hunt down her latest victim for an interview, or whoever was unlucky enough to be scammed into bringing her around. with luck, she gets some footage. sometimes she's got an episode to record, so the yuseongers are rid of her for a couple hours. stay up til she falls asleep on her laptop. what a life, baby!
where can your muse usually be found?
andante, nursing a drink and going cross-eyed staring at her screen. her blue light glasses make her look like a dweeb, and yes, you can laugh. she has no qualms about asking to share a table <3 / lemon martes, wandering around like a lost ghost. she just likes looking at the displays, ok? / staring dubiously @ pierrot's clown mascot, the lighthouse, antique shop, the old mines, and hovering around the mouth of the woods. its like shes trying to stare them down.... see if something goes bump
how does your muse feel about hanhwa resort?
i don't think she even knows about the resort.. jk! its hard to miss a gigantic building smack dab where she used to go crabbing. there's probably a sense of nostalgia for what things used to be, but she understands that capitalism is a necessary and unstoppable evil. if her parents nag her about marriage one more time, she's booking a room there.
is there an aspiration for your muse to stay in or leave yuseong bay?
the expectation's always been that she'll leave--- while she doesn't have a return ticket booked, she's based in the us, and once she's got enough footage, she's gonezo.
extra, extra!
list your muse’s three favorite songs.
sza's saturn (yes, she's always the problem in every relationship) niki's split (asian diaspora reppppp) the japanese house's sunshine baby not a big fan of hearing men talk
describe your muse’s wardrobe.
she likes looking good, and her personal style leans more feminine. doesn't shy away from bright colours, but likes neutrals because she thinks she's taken more seriously like that </3 for brands, she's partial to hermes, chanel (tho she thinks they're losing their touch a little...) and miu miu!
what is a color, word, and emoji that you feel describes your muse?
purple, why?, 🧋
three strong likes and dislikes for your muse.
likes: windy weather, fruit (thinks korea is insane... wtf do u mean grapes are $10), reading comments dislikes: being rushed, not being organised, a meeting that could've been an email slash call that could've been a text
three positive and negative traits for your muse.
+ compassionate, sincere, enthusiastic - oblivious, naive, condescending
three talents and shortcomings for your muse.
has the ability to make you feel like you're the only two people in the room; a wonderful conversationalist, she's always focused on your conversation. good with names AND faces. you're the center of her universe! insane interpersonal intelligence. / no qualms dropping her (parents) money on things. need a loan? sure! some say its buying affection, but hey, she'd do anything for a friend :) / extremely open-minded. realises when she makes a mistake, and is quick to apologise and do her best to learn from it. someone who can put her pride down easily! condescends unintentionally, even though she has nothing but the best of intentions. it’s just what being so out-of-touch with the working class folk does to you, unfortunately. / she eats. so. goddamn. slowly. like its actually terrible. she takes an hour to finish one sandwich, because she chews so carefully, and then wants to say something but refuses to talk because her mouth is full. your muse is offered a meal in exchange for an interview? expect to spend at least 2h, MINIMUM with her. in that vein, also no respect for others' time / you've probably caught on by now, but she is always her first thought. she'll take her own sweet time doing things, and hates being put on others' timeline. everything is framed through her experience, which is an extremely privileged one.
what is a book/tv series/movie/video game character that you feel your character relates to? (you can include who you would say they’re alike, and who they would say they’re alike.)
she was heavily inspired by daphne blake from scooby doo, and even her name's a homage to that! daeun would like how she stays true to herself (and has great style!) while still kicking ass! she thinks daphne was ahead of her time, retaining her femininity while still pulling her weight and being useful to the scoobies in her own way.
a relevant goal or arc for your character to overcome.
accept she'll probably never make her parents proud, fully accept and move on from that. also pay her own bills, damn. something something true independence....
anyway. pls like to plot and i'll slide into ims :^)

Oooo so it’s me again. Hello.
I’m back with some more Roose thoughts.
I had read your head cannons on some characters reactions to their wife getting kidnapped forever ago, and also read through them again last night lol. It inspired a one shot, that is still bouncing around in my head and just doesn’t want to be written. I just feel like this would be a big turning point in their relationship. Obviously everyone has heard how cruel and cold Roose can be, and while you haven’t seen much of it, those whispers and rumors had to of made you a little uneasy at the start of your marriage. And when you get kidnapped very unexpectedly, it really made you wonder if Roose would come for you. Like we’re you worth the effort? Was he cruel enough to just leave you to rot and find a new wife? Those thoughts broke your heart, especially with how fond you had become of him. And the whole time you were apart you had not a clue Roose was a mix of absolutely worried about you, and full of extreme amount of rage that someone thought they had the right to take you from him. The wife he spent months convincing and planning to finally make his. The wife he had grown fond of. Ehhh I’m gonna guess maybe you were kidnapped anywhere from like 2 or 5 days? Something like that. Within that time frame Roose had discovered it was a pretty average guard, who had been moving up the ranks and slowly began gaining his trust. Not out of service, but of greed. He wanted land. He wanted coin. Even took out a loan for a unheard of mercenary group to help him hide and ransom you. It didn’t take long for him to find you after that. Roose accompanied by many men, including Ramsey and his hounds had taken your captors by surprise. Many were captured, and wished for death instead as they knew Roose would flay them alive (and he totally did) You had almost though you were dreaming seeing Roose as cool and calm as ever, free you from the ropes that bound you. He reassured you the whole time he was taking you home. Even wrapping his fur cloak around you after doing a quick check for any life threatening wounds. You couldn’t help but cry. You’re here. You came for me. You came for me. Seemed to be the only thing you could say as he carried you to his horse and took you both home. After that, it was undying love and loyalty from you, nothing to be unsure about. Everyone may have their opinions on Roose. But he came for you, he never stopped looking until he found you. In your eyes, it ment the world. Roose even stayed with you days after your return home, Making sure you were in good health, assuring you no one was going to keep you apart ever again… I’m like half asleep so that kinda got sloppy at the end but I hope you get the point lol. Anddd I had more to type but I’m tired haha. I just see Roose saving his wife as a major moment for her, especially after all the rumors about him. And their relationship, he didn’t realize how fond he was of her until she was taken. And he already doesn’t like his possessions taken away from him. And then add something he is fond of and loves. You’re gonna have a bad time when he finds you.
*slaps hands together* thank you for the food. may I return with:
"Roose was a mix of absolutely worried about you, and full of extreme amount of rage that someone thought they had the right to take you from him. The wife he spent months convincing and planning to finally make his"
OH YES …. very correct. This is especially true if this is when he's Warden of the North - this is a direct threat to his new status. He can't afford to show weakness, and he will severely torture and punish who did this. He has to show the North he isn't fucking around. I think there's a slow build of rage boiling in him, he definitely attempts to hide it from his Lady as he rescues her. There's a very strange sense of relief (when's the last time he felt that?) when she's mostly safe and sound.. .though honestly, if she was beaten or worse, he'd still bring her back. "He doesn't like his possessions being taken", indeed. Also, I think a younger Roose (before Domeric) would actually openly rage and even kill someone in front of her. It's the first time she's seen him like that, and probably the last. I fully HC that in his youth and before Domeric, he was more hot-blooded and vengeful. Ramsay got it from somewhere - as it turns out, those empty, icy eyes can look very, very frightening and almost manic.
But yes, this incident would absolutely made a Lady closer to her Lord in normal circumstances, but this is Roose Bolton we're talking about … she was totally justified to think he'd just leave her to her fate.
Also, if this was a plot to undermine him as Warden, he'd become even more ruthless to the Houses he suspected of arranging it. If it was merely a guard who was more intelligent than Roose gave him credit for - I mean ... it wouldn't be shocking if he just culled the whole guard and installed new ones, or killed a few at random to keep them in line. The Lady would certainly have whiplash between the "caring" Roose who delivers her food and treats her wounds, and the one whose just openly executing.
Actually, even his bannerman and bastard son might pick up how severe his reaction to a few days of kidnapping is ... And if Ramsay makes a snide comment about how his stepmother wasn't even hurt that badly, or suggests her virtue is ruined, he'd get a solid backhand.

I wanted to share with you my own personal dark oc. This is the Wild West. Reader is about to lose her farm after her grandfather suddenly died and there’s no other male relatives to take over her family’s farm. And she’s doesn’t think of something soon she’ll lose it or worse! Have to marry that sleazy loan shark who’s offering to take over it for her (he’s a know wife beater, etc). Women aren’t legally allowed to own things, she needs to get bitch quick. So when this handsome and charismatic stranger comes into town. He work as a professional hitman or hired to do gruesome stuff for the right price. Can he turn down the chance not only to gain a sim of money, but to marry and breed the town’s resident virgin. After working as a professional hitman, and being by himself (aside from the couple of nights he shared with prostitutes) he gained the desire to settle down somewhere small and isolated, and have a family with a pretty wife. So seeing this pretty lil thing offering herself up on silver platter, how can he resistance? He to have the farm under his name for a certain time frame before divorcing reader so she can own it for herself, but how can she when he decides he doesn’t want to leave…. He was a strict husband, rarely letting her out of the house in terms of going into public. Gave her a new set of clothes calling her other ones “whorish” for someone like her, and deserved to be represented on what type of woman she was (despite no one ever seeing her 😂). He took over all farm duties and refuse her help, but expects her to cook and clean. Making her his own personal housewife. And sex is a daily thing, yeah there was no way for her to get out of that. She didn’t show any attempts of running away so she allowed to go outside and such, but if he’s not in the mood he would deny her. And sometimes he would leave days or weeks to pick up some job offers. I tried to keep it vague, so you can have your own opinion on it. Hope you liked it, I love talking to you :).
MAE'S 100-FOLLOWER CELEBRATION!
PT 2.
Sorry, it’s me again! But I just wanted to add just a little bit of detail of what I sent earlier. Reader sees their marriage as convenience and is surprised to see him take it so seriously with him taking his husband duties whole heartily. Paying everything for her, spoiling her, providing for her, doing all the “man” jobs for her (working around the farm and driving her, his reasoning is that her only duty as his wife is to sit still and look pretty for him which in his words “won’t be so hard, with a face as cute as a button”) getting over protective of her.
The only times he lets her out of the house is to go to church. He himself isn’t religious, but to feed into his idea of reader being this untouchable saint and sometimes respecting her boundaries/wishes. But he doesn’t like it when she tries to hide herself from, whether it being shielding her naked body from his sight for modesty (your my wife! I have any right to look at you. Now put your arms away, I was just enjoying myself with a quick peak it’s all!), any feelings she feels (not only does he feel entitled to know how you’re feeling 24/7, but he wants you to be comfortable and happy under his care).
He takes it upon himself to almost always bring up the fact that you’re his wife with “my wife” “Mrs…” “my woman” “wife!”. He even threatens you with a few spanks from his belt when you kept “correcting” with “only legally 🙄 “, also he doesn’t take disrespect well so there was no more eye-rolling or mumbles under your breath. While he may be strict with her, he isn’t a totally serious guy. He loves to play! Have fun with her, while telling her goofy stories of his younger self to make her smile or wrestling her. He’s a go-lucky and joyful guy, reader would definitely develop a praise kink 😏 (degradation kink too!). He can’t help himself from complimenting her, giving her cute lil pet names like “sweetie” “honey” “honey bun” “darlin’” “doll face” and her personal favourite “pumpkin”.
Above all else, he would like for her to be happy with him under the restrictions he placed upon her. He thinks he’s doing what’s best for her even though she may not like it at times. So he tries to make it up for her by spending time with her, giving out praise, and buying things for her. Okay, sorry that is it, I promise 😅😭😭😭.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AAAAAAAHHHHHH I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS!!!!!! <3 <3 <3
AUTUMN!!!!!! You're a genius, I'm not kidding! This was amazing!!! The thought you put in???? I love it!!!! Go as detailed as you want! It's your (amazing and absolutely wonderful) OC and I am so happy you shared it with me!!! I love talking to you too!!!!!
I grew up watching westerns so I am literally obsessed with rough and tough bounty hunters and heart-of-gold old-timey cowboys (it explains my love for the Mandalorian) but this is just next level!!!!! I adore the trope of bounty hunters/hitmen/soldiers whatever, just wanting to settle down on a block of land with a pretty wife and I love how this guy goes about it.
I love the idea that over the years he's saved up quite a bit of money so he could really afford to live anywhere in town, he could buy the mayor's mansion if he wanted to, but no!!! He wants the rundown farmhouse cause he gets a pretty wife with the deal. And I love how you have him going along with the deal of marriage of convenience until the reader can divorce him and get the land for herself! I would love to know how she came up to him and asked him to be involved or did she try and hide her intentions from him and seduce him? I would love to know! I like the idea it was all her idea and when she found the one man she thought wouldn't want to stay in a marriage she asked him, with a little bit of incentive of a paycheck, little did she know this man has been planning their wedding and naming their future children since the moment she walked through the saloon door. Up to you though! I love any of your ideas.
Oooooh! And when it has been those few months and she can finally divorce him and she expects the whole husband facade to fall and he goes on his way.....but!!!!!.... he refuses to get a divorce and now is stuck with this man.....OR and this is a bit of a slutty thought but imagine if he 'agrees' to get a divorce but first one last fuck?? And of course, the reader says yes cause he knows what he's doing and it'll be the one thing she misses the most about him. But!! When it comes time for him to pull out he refuses and goes on about how she'll be such a pretty mama and how nice and swollen her belly will be and how she will never get a divorce with a babe on her hip and another in her belly and how she's his now and he's never letting her go and how much of a good husband he'll be as long as she's a good wife to him and holy hell!!!!!
Also, I ADORE the pet name/nickname missus, it is massive here in Australia even if not married and if a man called me his missus to his friends/family/whoever I would literally melt. And the other nicknames????????? Adorable! My favourite brand of man is funny/goofy but will start, end and win a fight, there is just something about tough men with dirt on their faces telling a funny story that makes me wanna just explode.
OOOO! Him teaching the reader how to use a gun and he says he has to get up right and personal to teach her, but the reader is pretty sure his hands don't need to be squeezing her arse for her to aim. and then having arm wrestles?????? him either always letting her win or never lets her win cause he loves it when she pouts at him!!! I might be projection but YES! Praise kink! Him calling her such a good girl and how she's doing so well and how she's his sweet girl..... man im blushing
AHHHHHH! I can go on forever!!!!!! I love this and I love him! You have me hooked.

I was wondering if you had any Violet and Zack wedding headcanons? :) for… (*hides drawing tablet and suspiciously looks around*) no reason whatsoever :D
Awwww, you are so sweet! This ask made me so happy, and I’ve been working hard on it!
Yes, I do have a lot of wedding headcanons! And, I actually wrote a scene from the wedding in the prologue to Wild Violets! I think I’m going to tweak it a bit when I post chapter 1, but I’ll link it here! A03 Wattpad FF.net
But there is more to, it obviously…lol! For starters…they have 2 weddings! I’ll link everything below the cut because it is a lot! And to keep thing more neat and tidy for myself (my ocd’s been bad lately, lol) I’ll answer for the first wedding in this post and second wedding in another post I will tag you in!
Wedding #1
The first wedding is a simple courthouse wedding that occurs shortly Violet’s 23rd birthday in April.
Zach, Violet, his mother Valerie, and Violet’s Aunt Amy, and cousin Paige, Paige’s husband Todd, Paige and Todd’s son Nathaniel, and a few of the Zachbots are in attendance (if you/anyone wants references for them, let me know).
Outfits
Violet does not wear an actual wedding dress, she instead wears a short white party dress that has blue flora appliqués to have her “something blue.” 
Tumblr media
Violet’s “something old” is her V butterfly necklace from Zach. 
Her “something new” is her custom made engagement ring from Zach that is gold with rubies and diamonds in the shape of a V were a typical diamond would be (enjoy my lovely rendition of it below, sorry the gold looks awful, lol).
Tumblr media
Zach’s mother surprises Violet by loaning her the wedding veil she wore when she married Zach’s father to Violet, giving her “something borrowed.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Violet wears her hair down in a half up, half down style, similar to the one below, but when they leave the courthouse, Violet trades the veil for some butterfly themed hair jewelry!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Zach wears the same black and gray suit he wore when he and Violet shared their first kiss (looks like below).
Zach and Violet, alone in his headquarters before they go to the courthouse, his hand cupped under her chin: Zach: “This suit brought me good luck the last time I wore it, it changed my life because it made me realize that I loved you. That you were my life.”
Tumblr media
Even though it’s a courthouse wedding, Zach’s mom pulls Violet to the side and puts the veil on her, pulling it over her face and walking her to Zach. 
Zach is stunned when he sees Violet, not expecting the veil with the dress, he pulls the veil’s blusher back and holds her face in his hands, Zach: “you are beautiful.”
Violet: “Even given the…circumstances?”
Zach: “You could wear a trash bag and be beautiful.”
Zach’s mom is a florist, so she also surprises Zach and Violet with flowers for the wedding, she brings a small bouquet of flowers for Violet and boutonnières for everyone else.
The flowers are white and royal blue to match Violet’s dress (something like below, but with real flowers).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ceremony/Reception
At the courthouse, the quick ceremony is performed by a justice of the peace, they kiss, sign the marriage license, and are on their way!
After the wedding they have a small reception on the balcony at Zach’s headquarters with Gourmand catering (vegetarian foods and no alcohol per Violet’s instructions, lol) and all the villains come to celebrate with them at the reception. 
Donita, Valarie, Amy, and Paige decorated the balcony with fairy lights, lanterns, and white, blue, and lilac flowers in various arrangements, and a triangle shaped arch covered with the flowers too!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Zach and Violet share a first dance at the reception to the song Technicolour Beat. It’s a very intense and intimate moment for them, and I imagine Violet’s quietly singing it to him 🥰!
They end the reception with more dancing, photos (they get some sweet hugging and kissing pics, and get some with sparklers for sure!), and they give their guests a special surprise! Any guesses?
Well those are Wedding #1 headcanons! Thank you so much for this ask, I’ve enjoyed working on it! If you have any more questions, please let me know. And if anyone has a questions you can reach out too!

What’s the real history with Thomas Seymour proposing marriage to Elizabeth after Catherine’s death?
I’m confused seeing people say real life Elizabeth didn’t (or wouldn’t have) accepted Seymour’s proposal like in Becoming Elizabeth because she was deliberately ambiguous with her answers about him wanting to marry her. Is that from her saying she would never marry without permission from the Privy Council? I assumed that was from the Tyrwhitt interviews and she meant ‘obviously I wasn’t planning a marriage with him cause if he’d suggested it I’d have said we had to ask the council’. Because why would she need to give some kind of ambiguous or cautious answer so as to not incriminate herself by admitting knowledge that he wanted to marry, unless she had at the least entertained the idea in some way.
Hello anon - first of all i'm sorry for taking to long to reply, i've been at work and i wanted to try and give a proper answer rather than just giving you a short one.
Theres belief that Thomas Seymour originally had asked Elizabeth to marry him in February 1547 which she rejected him claiming she was still in mourning for her father - however this comes from a 17th Century historian and not a contemporary so therefore we can't verify that this actually happened.
After Catherine Parr's death in 1548, Seymour doesn't immediately dissolve her household and decides that they should now attend Lady Jane Grey, but suspision began to grow he may be looking for a new wife. Kat Ashley, Elizabeth's governess, also encourages Elizabeth to write to Seymour to give her condolences on the death of Catherine, however Elizabeth declined to do so, believing that he didn't need them, she probably also wanted to avoid anymore rumours spreading.
Now unlike in the show, Elizabeth and Thomas Seymour do not see each other again after she leaves Chelsea for Cheshunt. When she comes to London for Christmas 1548, she finds her residence of Durham Palace had been turned into a mint by the Duke of Somerset, Seymour loaned her Seymour Palace and met Elizabeth's cofferer, Thomas Parry (quick note - where is he in BE?). In this meeting, Seymour begins asking Parry about Elizabeth's finances. When Henry VIII died, he left his Mary and Elizabeth a £10,000 dowry if they married. Parry answered his questions as much as he could and then reported to Elizabeth what Seymour was asking. During this conversation, Parry outright asks Elizabeth if she would marry Seymour if the council did not object, and before answering she is said to have looked visibly displeased. Here we get her first ambiguous answer when she says; 'When the time comes to pass i will do as God shall put in my mind.'
On New Years 1548/9 Thomas Parry and Kat Ashley begin to gossip on the subject of Elizabeth and Seymour, here Kat tells Parry why Elizabeth was sent away from Chelsea to the Denny's at Cheshunt. Kat Ashley also began encouraging Elizabeth to consider marrying Seymour and she was pretty persistent on the matter, but Elizabeth again did not give a straight answer, saying that; 'Though he himself would preadventure have me, yet i think the council will not consent to it.'
Soon rumour began to spread of Seymour's plans and he ended up having a confrontation with a member of the Privy Council, John Russell, Earl of Bedford (not Henry Grey as shown in BE), who told Seymour that if he went through with them it could be his 'utter undoing'.
Now we know what happens next, Seymour breaks into Edward VI's chambers, shoots his dog and is arrested and sent to the Tower. Kat Ashley and Thomas Parry are also arrested and sent to the Tower. Elizabeth is questioned by Sir Robert Tyrwhitt about her involvement with Seymour and any possible plans for marriage. In defense of Kat Ashley, although admitting that she had acted irresponsibly, she says that Kat would; 'never have me marry, neither in or out of England, without the consent of the King's Majesty and the Council's'.
During her interrogation, she writes to the Duke of Somerset concerning rumours of her also being imprisoned in the Tower and that she is pregnant with Seymour's child. She refers to these rumours as 'shameful slanders', and asks to come to court so that she may, 'show myself there as i am'. She also asked Somerset to take actions against rumours, which he agreed to do, if she could name those who spread them.
Now the ambiguous answers, her rebuff of Kat's persistance, looking displeased when Parry mentions marrying Seymour and her calling the rumours 'slanders' to me does not seem like she actually wanted to marry Thomas Seymour. Not to mention, there is also evidence that she was made uncomfortable by Seymour's advances, including getting up early to avoid him and writing 'thou touch me not' on a letter.
People do like to say that Elizabeth may have had a crush on Seymour, and blushed at his name being mentioned, she could very well have, but this would not have made her any less of a victim. On the other hand, blushing does not always mean having a crush on someone, it could have been because of discomfort or shame as well.
The ambiguous answers were also something Elizabeth always gave towards the question of marriage, especially after she becomes queen and the council begin pressuring her to marry to secure the succession. It may have been because she did not want to marry at all, which is something she first says to Robert Dudley when she was just eight years old. I don't personally think her ambiguous answers were to avoid her incriminating herself. She was cautious, something the show truly failed to show and did a big injustice to her.
I'm so sorry for the long answer but i wanted to answer as best as i could! If i have made any mistakes/incorrect statements please feel free to correct me!

The ending of Hitchcock’s Suspicion: Copping out or hoodwinking the censors?
Tumblr media
Anyone’s initial viewing of Suspicion seems doomed to be frustrating, not because the movie on the whole is bad, but because of a botched landing.
Suspicion follows Lina, a meek English heiress. Terrified of spinsterhood, Lina falls into the arms of Johnnie, a charming rogue with a few bad habits, all involving money. Not inclined to work or to save what he has, Johnnie lives off loans from relatives and friends, suggesting that his quick marriage to Lina is financially motivated.
Tumblr media
For a while, the two live happily, until Lina starts becoming more aware of Johnnie’s tendency to lie to her. Johnnie also proves a thief—and perhaps a murderer, though Lina cannot be sure. Eventually, it seems Lina herself might be Johnnie’s next victim.
Sounds great, right? And it is for 99% of the runtime, a true classic psychological domestic thriller.
But then there’s the final 1%...
The ending of the original novel ended with Lina willingly allowing herself to be killed by Johnnie out of amor fou. Compromised by the Production Code and the studio’s desire to keep Grant’s onscreen persona unsullied by true menace, Hitchcock’s film ends on a ludicrous note: it turns out, it was all in Lina’s head and Johnnie was (apparently) experiencing suicidal ideation due to thinking he wasn’t good enough for Lina! How dare she not think of HIS feelings after he’s lied to her repeatedly and betrayed her trust time and again!
I remember being so angry by this ending that I immediately disregarded any of the film’s positive qualities. Joan Fontaine’s psychologically fraught performance (much better than in her previous Hitchcock collaboration Rebecca IMO), Cary Grant’s low-simmering menace, the tense domestic atmosphere, the slow-burn piling up of evidence against Johnnie—all of that was quickly forgotten in the nauseous afterglow of that BS finale.
I recently decided to go through Hitchcock’s entire theatrical filmography and make a ranked list, just for fun. However, the prospect of having to rewatch Suspicion filled me with annoyance and dread. I forgot most of the movie and only recalled how angry the ending made me.
Surprisingly, my opinion of the film went up, but I think that favorable reassessment was aided by my watching this video essay detailing the film’s proposed multiple endings and a more ambiguous interpretation of the one that remains in the finished film:
youtube
Is it possible that the ending does not clear Johnnie at all? The way Grant shifts his eyes when Fontaine starts to breathlessly (desperately?) explain away his suspicious behavior suggests something going on beneath the reassuring dialogue and the joyous final shot of the spouses reunited. If this idea has merit, then Lina is not getting her happy ending. She’s only postponed her own execution.
Of course, I still think even with this interpretation, the ending is still unsatisfying and abrupt. Even the ambiguity that could be there is hair-thin.
Whatever the case, Suspicion is still a pretty good movie—the ending is flawed from any angle, but the movie itself deserves more than the flip dismissal I originally gave it.

ZEYNEP "ZEYNO/HERO" SILA TÜRKMEN
age: 31.
gender & pronouns: nonbinary & she (primary)/they (secondary).
neighborhood: university heights.
occupations: owner of the comic lab and owner of a hero's journey.
fc: özge özacar.
HER STORY
trigger warnings: cheating, teen pregnancy, mental health, post-partum depression.
Cemre and Kerem Türkmen always knew that they wanted the best for their daughter. That they wanted her to grow up strong, connected to her roots but also have the love to fly. When Zeynep came to their lives, they knew that they loved her more than anything else in the world. They just didn’t realize that their daughter was going to experience quite an adventure as she grew up. For the longest time, they thought that the most adventurous thing they’d explore with Zeyno was her sexual orientation, something she discovered herself when she was thirteen. Alternating living between their home country of Türkiye in İstanbul and Boston, Massachusetts, they had struggled for a while learning about her gender identity and it resulted in her being sent to an international school in Dubai. For a while, Zeyno absolutely hated the school. Yet somehow, over time, it grew to not become too bad and it certainly helped her with her English. She even eventually started seeing someone when she was sixteen.
Falling in love for the first time was one of the simplest yet most beautiful things she’d ever experienced. While she hadn’t been expecting him, she knew that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. Even when she told him about her sexual orientation, he only seemed to love her more and more. With both of their parents’ permission and blessings, they were set in an arranged marriage and promised to each other. Everything was going perfectly… Until news of Zeynep’s pregnancy came out.
Zeynep and her fiancé had just finished graduating from high school, the two ready to start university in the autumn and work even closer to starting their life together. But the moment their parents found out that she was pregnant, they were furious. Her meant-to-be-future-in-laws accused her of sleeping around and cheating on their son. In the midst of it all, he had panicked and said that he wasn’t the father, leaving her heartbroken. The engagement was called off, she was forced to say goodbye to the person she loved, and under a lot of scrutinizing pressure, Leticia’s parents cut her off. Giving her enough money so that she’d be comfortable for a while then giving her the slip.
She felt lost in it all. At eighteen years old, she was completely removed from everyone she loved and everything she knew. Having meant to start school at Harvard, she moved out to Boston as quickly as possible. Trying to prepare everything she could before her babies—yes, babies; Zeynep was pregnant with twins—were meant to come and school was to start. With the money her parents gave her, she was able to find a small apartment that worked yet saved the rest of the money to go towards the babies. She’d been quick to get a job, trying to earn enough money so that she could be able to provide for her children. Soon enough, her twins, Leia and Luke (after her favourite Star Wars characters), came into her life.
By then, she had a steady job at Barnes and Noble while also taking a few night classes for her Creative Writing and Theater majors. Eventually, as the years went by and her daughters grew up more and more, the more she continued her schooling and the bills began to pile up, Zeyno took on a second job at a movie rental shop (the beautiful days before streaming became a convenience). She graduated from Harvard and while she had been blessed with many scholarships and grants, there were still loans to be paid. Her children had been the only light in her life. After what happened, she struggled over connecting with others romantically. She slept around a lot, using them the same way they used her to forget her struggles for a while. Then, she met someone rather unexpectedly.
Zeynep (or Hero, the alias they used online and with others in the queer community) was newly 21 and her friends (well, the few friends she had) believed that it was time for her to have some fun and live life a little. With being able to come up a plan to make that a reality and for the twins to be taken care of, she was dragged out to Las Vegas for a couple days. No responsibilities, no worries about the future; Just a young adult being given the freedom to do whatever the hell she wanted. Okay, sure, she struggled high-key with it at first. The urge to check on her children always just too strong. Yet, she soon met someone. At first, it was meant to be a short, 24 hour romance that went nowhere. Just someone who touched her soul and then they both went on their ways. Now, imagine their surprise waking up next morning and discovering that, not only had they fallen asleep together, they had also gotten married at some point during the past 24 hours. Zeynep was freaking the fuck out, trying to figure out how she can annul this without ever letting her kids find out. After awhile, though, they both calmed down. And brewed one of the most insane ideas in the world: what if they stayed married for the next year and see what happens next?
It was batshit crazy and Zeyno stated so. Of course, she was in. That is, until she heard the rest of her semi-partner’s idea: they moved to her partner’s hometown in Colorado. She had her children. They had a life in Boston. She was being looked at for a promotion at Barnes and Noble. How fair would it be to uproot everything for a person she’d only been married to for, what, twelve hours? She wasn’t onboard at first and even stated so. But… she’d be lying if she said she wasn’t tempted. The idea of a fresh start… Her children growing up with another parent… The potential of being a family… She couldn’t resist finally. And in November 2012, the move was made from Boston to a townhouse downtown with her new partner.
In all honesty? It was an incredible struggle at first. She fortunately had been able to get an assistant manager position at the Comic Lab and the twins adjusted better than expected. Yet it was Hero who struggled to adjust for the longest time. She couldn’t find it within herself to settle, struggling to make friends in Providence Peak and challenging her partner the best she could. Pushing their buttons and ready to piss them off. Surprisingly, though? They were supportive and understanding. The last time she had experience that had been with her ex and she soon admitted to them about what happened. Nothing could express the amount of support and care she received. After awhile, things got easier. Then a year went by and they had a vow renewal. Fully cementing their commitment to each other and embracing their love together.
Over the years, her partner adopted Luke and Leia, becoming not just their stepparent, but their parent completely. Six years went by and they were then joined with Meg, named after Zeynep’s favourite Disney character, Megara. For a moment, things were good. But after awhile, her mental health began to struggle as she began to deal with post-partum depression. Nothing was going right between her and her partner, a rift soon growing and growing. It was when they left in the middle of night, claiming that they couldn’t do this anymore that she was snapped right out of it. Well, sort of. She was finally able to reached out to her friends for help and received it, especially after hearing the news about her partner.
Over the past six years as she navigated being a (sort of) single parent again, she went back to primarily making sure her children were taken care of, but also trying to have a life as well. She gained ownership of the Comic Lab and as of a couple of weeks ago, she has now opened up a new business located in University Heights right next to the Comic Lab: A Hero’s Journey, a book-and-movie shop that’s conveniently located beneath the apartment she and the kids moved into after her partner left. She’s even tried to dip her toes back into the dating scene, though nothing more concrete has occurred since then.
Despite things not looking like how she expected when she first moved to Providence Peak eleven years ago and despite her failed marriage, Zeynep is admittedly happy with where she is in her life. After all, she has three children who are healthy and happy. She owns two businesses that she’s passionate about. She has friends in town and a life, something she didn’t really have before. What more could she want?

age: 30.
gender & pronouns: demigirl & she/they.
neighborhood: claret park.
occupations: international best-selling author, influencer/content creator, and the owner of the comic lab.

HER STORY
trigger warnings: cheating, divorce, toxic relationship, pregnancy, drug overdose, drug addiction, attack, mental health (depression, anxiety, suicidal tendencies), suicide attempt, miscarriage, cancer, car accident, death.
Bruna and Andre Oliveira always knew that they wanted the best for their daughter. That they wanted her to grow up strong, connected to her roots but also have the love to fly. When Leticia came to their lives, they knew that they loved her more than anything else in the world. They just didn’t realize that their daughter was going to experience quite an adventure as she grew up. For the longest time, Bruna and Andre thought that the most adventurous thing they’d explore with Leti was her sexuality and gender identity, something she discovered herself when she was thirteen. Living in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, they had struggled for awhile learning about this and it resulted in her being sent to an international school in Dubai. For awhile, Leti absolutely hated the school. Yet somehow, over time, it grew to not become too bad and it certainly helped her with her English. She even eventually started seeing someone when she was sixteen.

But the moment their parents found out that she was pregnant, they were furious. Her meant-to-be-future-in-laws accused her of sleeping around and cheating on their son.

Trying to prepare everything she could before her babies---yes, babies; Leti was pregnant with twins---were meant to come and school was to start. With the money her parents gave her, she was able to find a small apartment that worked yet saved the rest of the money to go towards the babies. She’d been quick to get a job, trying to earn enough money so that she could be able to provide for her children. Soon enough, her twin girls, Leia and Belle (after her favourite Star Wars character and Disney Princess), came into her life. By then, she had a steady job at a Barnes and Noble while also taking a few night classes for her Creative Writing and Hospitality Management majors. Eventually, as the years gone by and her daughters grew up more and more, the more she continued her schooling and the bills began to pile up, Leti took on a second job as a performer at the hottest strip club in Boston. It was a job that she never saw herself partaking in, but thanks to having grown up dancing, it was a job she became good at. Eventually, she graduated from Harvard and while she had been blessed with many scholarships and grants, there were still loans to be paid. Her daughters had been the only light in her life... At least, until sometime later, she met a young woman who came to Boston for a little bit: Carla Villanueva. For the first time in forever, she connected with someone—she was falling in love again. She never saw Carla coming and after what happened with her ex-fiancé and father of her daughters, she’d been scared. Admittedly, what they had was brief and eventually, Carla had to leave whereas Leticia stayed. But god, she wished she had joined her. She never would’ve met Luca then.
Luca was a man who was so angry with the world he earned money by underground fighting and she needed a distraction from everything. Whether it was her internal anxiety struggling over how she would provide for her girls to how she’ll take care of her college expenses to missing Carla, she turned to Luca despite him scaring her a little bit. His anger brought out the worst in him and seeing one of his matches, Leti soon ghosted after months of them sleeping together. She’d been afraid of him showing that side of him to her when by themselves, or worse: to her daughters. But after Leticia suffered a drug overdose on Valentine’s Day and was in the hospital for awhile, he soon came back into her life. Not too long later, she married Luca. Was it for love? At first, perhaps there’d been some true feelings for him. But after awhile, he went from being a loving partner to a jealous and possessive asshole. He never showed his true colours around Leia and Belle, and kept control whenever the two would fight. It was toxic and while she tried to maintain her ground, deep down, the girl was terrified of the day he’d no longer have control over himself. When she found out she was pregnant, though, things did calm down. They were working together and communicating. For a moment, she was starting to believe that she was actually in love with him. That is, until she lost the baby.
It’d been about four months into the pregnancy and she wasn’t showing much yet, but it’d taken a huge blow on the both of them. One night, Luca finally admitted that he blamed her. Once more, their cycle of screaming matches and breaking things came back. Once more did her fear that Luca would lose his control came back and she feared it happening. And one night, it came deeply close. She found out he was having multiple affairs and with the girls at a sleepover, she took the opportunity to confront him. They had the worst fight ever that night: screaming well into the early morning, all kinds of shit knocked over and/or broken, holes that had been punched into the walls. They hadn’t gotten physical with each other, not until later when they decided to fuck instead of continue their screaming, but she’d been terrified the entire time. That night, she began a plan on filing for divorce.
After that, she finally decided to get her shit together and to make plans on getting away. While she stayed working at Barnes and Noble and the club while also started to also do dance performances for events to earn extra money, she was trying to find a nice place in Somerville where she and the girls could live together. She started to get her life back on track and to become the adult she needed to be. If not for herself, then for her daughters. For awhile, things were going good. Her and Luca didn’t fight again yet she continued her plan, while he was none the wiser. Then an incident happened at work, a rowdy client who was drunk and acting inappropriately. He’d tried to make a move on her and she told him off, causing him to punch her before slicing her arm with a knife he snuck in. If it hadn’t been for his friends and the bodyguards stopping him, she wouldn’t be here. She had quickly snuck away to a bathroom, grabbing supplies so that she could stitch herself back together and deal with what the fuck happened. It was a massive wakeup call and she knew that she needed to sort her shit out. How she did that, though, was nerve-wracking: by seeking out her parents. Over the years, Andre and Bruna had moved from Brazil to the States. The couple were the owners of the prestigious and luxurious resort and hotel chain known as The Jade Palace, having been a family business run by the Oliveiras since the late 1800s, and they had opened up a new location there in Boston. Learning about her parents living there, she cautiously sought them out. At first, it wasn’t a happy reunion and she’d been turn away. Then, while she’d been out with her daughters, they ran into each other again. Her parents finally seeing their granddaughters for the first time. Seeing Leia and Belle was exactly what the two needed for them to wake up. They offered their help, finally, and she took it.
She finally had the divorce papers and restraining order given to Luca. She moved out completely and into her parents’ new-ish Boston home, her and the girls safe and sound in the Oliveira mansion. She left her job at the club so that she could begin working as a front-end attendant for the hotel before eventually making her way up. While she kept her job at the bookstore for as long as she could, having genuinely loved working there, she left it eventually to focus on her family and the Jade Palace. For awhile, she finally got everything under control. Her life was back in order. Her dad then made her an offer: to move to Providence Peak in early 2020 when the new location of the Jade Palace were to open in the summer of 2021 and undergo a process to be the owner of the hotel. During that time, she’d been able to release a well-received Young Adult book and considered with returning to the idea of becoming an author, a childhood dream of hers, but she decided to take her father’s offer. Soon enough, Leticia and her daughters moved to Providence Peak.
Never had she expected a small mountain city to take over her heart the way it did. While she’s made some friends (and enemies) and even some surprising reconnections, while she also released a second book, while she found herself enjoying owning the Providence Peak location of her family’s hotel, while she reconnected with Carla and even began to try to start something with her, it would eventually end come early 2022. Her father’s health had been deteriorating and she had a duty as his daughter to return to help him. While she promised to return back to Providence Peak one day, she needed to focus on her father and especially on her daughters. Yet over the course of that time, she soon made a decision. Her step-cousin, Zahava Kamara, would become the new owner of the entire Jade Palace hotelier.
With her father battling cancer, things had been rough at the beginning. She had to watch her father, a normally strong man, in his weakest moment and it killed her. It was hard having to watch him like that and many times she found herself crying at night, feeling helpless. To add salt to the wound, her and Carla were beginning to grow estranged. A factor that broke her heart, especially after believing they could be together again and promising to return to return to her. As months went on and the longer she stayed in Boston, she began to fear that her promise would be broken. Eventually, Andre began to grow stronger, healthier, better. In August of 2022, during an appointment with his doctor, finally some good news came: he was cancer-free. Andre and Bruna were ecstatic. With the girls having a soccer tournament, though, Leticia had been unable to attend the appointment. During a break in the match, she’d gotten a call from her parents and they informed her of the happy news. All before tragedy would soon struck again; During the middle of the call, while they’d been driving, a collision happened and resulted in the worst thing imaginable: her parents died in the accident.
Leti couldn’t express her devastation over the path life led her on again. One minute, she was receiving the best news she’s heard in awhile. The next, she received the worst news. After the funeral, Leti’s best friend and older sister figure, Rachel Hargrove, offered to watch the girls for awhile back in Providence Peak. Have them return home and be with friends again while she took time to mourn. Considering how deeply and intensely the woman felt things, she knew that it was for the best. And for awhile, she mourned. She downward spiraled and took the time to do so. Yet, eventually, she remembered that her parents wouldn’t want her to be like this. That they would rather her try to find joy in life again instead of mourn. Wiping away her tears and trying to find peace within herself, she soon got to work. She soon was making preparations over the family mansion and her parents belongings for both their homes in Rio and in Boston, making sure to contact her family overseas and work with them as well. She even created a YouTube channel, using it as a way to connect more with her readers and to fully express her love of fandom, along with starting up a TikTok, much to her preteen daughters’ chagrin. Eventually, after all business in Boston and concerning her family was dealt with, after she found herself in a better mental situation, she would soon switch over to a new target: returning back to Providence Peak.
While still in Boston, she’d been able to lock down on a new house in Claret Park, her, Leia, and Belle inheriting a large fortune both her parents left behind for them, among other things. However, she knew that she wanted to do more things in her life once she made her way back home. After contacting the owner of the Comic Lab, which had been one of her favourite places in Providence Peak, she soon struck a deal with them: she bought the comic book store, intending on finding a newer, bigger building for it and expand its merchandise and other things to offer. A large building for all nerdy fandom-loving people with merchandise, books, and all types of products with a café to serve food and drinks inspired by a multitude of fandoms and pop culture, she plans on the Comic Lab to grow into a business that’s basically the love child of Barnes and Noble, FYE, Game Stop, and Hot Topic (in her defense, they have many incredible pop culture products). Working with many book publications and organizations like BoxLunch and Loungefly to distribute these products.
After working on this project for awhile, along with writing a new book, Leticia has finally realized that it was now time to return home. Part of her is excited, especially to reunite with some people. Part of her is nervous, especially to reunite with some people. Yet overall, Leti is ready to put her past behind her and to try and find happiness for herself and for her daughters. Even if she is giving life the stink-eye in fear of it throwing another wrench at her.

What Is Personal Loan In India & How Does It Work |2022|
Whether you need money for home renovation or to buy an engagement ring, a personal loan can be the right choice to finance your needs. Instead of using credit cards with high-interest charges, one should avail a personal loan with a comparatively lower interest rate. 
There are instances when many people are stressed and compelled to pay off their high-interest credit card liabilities. In such events, opt for a personal loan to clear off the balances and lower the overall debt repayment. The lower APRs mean you won’t have to deal with too many debt repayments at once. 
Now that you have an overview of what a personal loan is, let’s learn about it in-depth. 
Personal Loan: What Is It 
Personal loans have emerged as one of the significant types of installment loans. A private loan provides customers with a one-time lump sum payment. Customers then repay the entire loan amount along with interest in recurring monthly payments during the loan’s tenure.
Because of the advent of mentoring and digital lenders, there seem to be plenty of quick, simple loan choices available. Yet, most require only about 10 minutes to register over the internet. Nevertheless, the entire loan approval procedure might actually take between one working week, based on how quickly the creditor gets and reviews your documentation.
Personal loans, at the bare minimum, incur interest. Additional costs may apply, including an initiation or processing charge deducted from your loan balance once authorized or an untimely payback charge if you pay back the personal loan before the term end (letting the bank/lending institution miss out on shortcoming interest dues). 
Personal Loans: How Do They Work
If you are authorized by the bank or financial institution for a personal loan, the money will be transferred in a single amount into your given savings account. Based on the bank, the transaction might take as short as one day or as lengthy as a couple of weeks. After the personal loan is granted, you must make monthly installments.
Many personal loans come with a fixed interest rate, meaning your monthly repayments will remain consistent. Personal loans are often unprotected or unsecured, which means no security backing the credit. When you fail to become eligible for an unsecured, unprotected personal loan, you may be required to utilize collateral, such as a retirement fund or a certificate of deposit, or a savings account, to be accepted.
You may indeed request a relative or friend to be a co-applicant and co-sign the personal loan to increase your chances of approval.
Whatever the objective of your borrowing, you’ll most certainly have numerous possibilities. Home equity loans, credit cards, and other funding methods are accessible. On the other hand, personal loans are an excellent option for several customers. These loans are frequently less costly than credit card payments, and they are funded quicker than HELOCs or home equity loans.
Furthermore, as there is typically no security attached to the bank loan, it is a much less risky type of borrowing than secured debt such as mortgage debt loans - meaning that your house, automobile, or bank account is indeed not directly in danger if you fail.
Ending Note 
A personal loan could be utilized for nearly everything, which is why it is called that.
Recall that the debt should always be repaid at some point, regardless of the circumstances. 
Whenever you seek out a bank loan to repay debts or plan the dream marriage, you essentially take out loans that need to be returned with interest. Personal loans are indeed a terrific method to restructure debt while also making big purchases.
