alright absolute favorite spikebuffy image of all time is from the scene where they’re under the carpet in dead things, having a normal conversation instead of the old punch-and-leave routine, and there’s this one shot where she’s sort of leaning up on her elbows half-smiling incredulously and her incredibly early-oughts new haircut is impeccable of course and he’s sort of ducking down and hiding this huge smile against her shoulder. first of all i think that should be in the louvre with all the other images of Couples In Bed (or On Floor) but what really sells it for me is the slight inversion of gender throughout. he’s demure, she’s dripping with sexual prowess, he wants her to stay and he’ll make an honest woman out of her, he’s domesticity incarnate for five minutes here, he actually offers to neaten up her home and redecorate it; she’s calm down, toots, it was just sex. don’t get attached. she’s a rude CEO in a trashy romance novel whose dismissiveness only makes the blushing (yet surprisingly experienced) new secretary want to cling on closer and try to understand her more

The Duchess Affair and The Unexpected Heiress both have us marrying a rich noble in the wake of a family member’s death, in the case of TDA, our father, and in the case of TUH, our sister.
So I guess The Duchess Affair is going to be kind of a mix between The Unexpected Heiress and The Nanny Affair.

flag id: three flags in a nine-stripe format, with the fifth stripe being twice as large as the rest. only the first, second, third, and fifth stripes have color, while the rest are transparent. the top flag's stripes, in order, are dark yellow-green, pale indigo, and white, and cream. the bottom left flag's stripes, in order, are very dark yellow-green, pale indigo, very light sky blue, and cream. the bottom right flag's stripes, in order, are dark yellow-green, pale indigo, very light pink, and cream. end id.
banner id: a 1600x200 teal banner with the words ‘please read my dni before interacting. those on my / dni may still use my terms, so do not recoin them.’ in large white text in the center. the text takes up two lines, split at the slash. end id.
heir
heiror | heiress
genderqueer role systems! 'heir' is used in both masculine and neutral senses, so i just made up an additional word lol.
heir system genders are genders related to being an heir of [x]/an [x] heir. they are connected to [x], [x] aesthetics, heir aesthetics, and being genderqueer. these terms should be named as ‘[x]heir’ - for example, a kitten heir system gender might be called ‘kittenheir’.
heiror system genders are genders related to being an heiror of [x]/an [x] heiror. they are connected to [x], [x] aesthetics, heiror aesthetics, and genderqueer boy/guy/manhood. these terms should be named as ‘heiro[x]’ - for example, a kitten heiror system gender might be called ‘heirokitten’.
heiress system genders are genders related to being an heiress of [x]/an [x] heiress. they are connected to [x], [x] aesthetics, heiress aesthetics, and genderqueer girl/gal/womanhood. these terms should be named as ‘heire[x]’ - for example, a kitten heir system gender might be called ‘heirekitten’.
to use these templates, place them over a ten-stripe flag template and color in the five blank stripes. typically, terms in these gender systems use the same color on the two stripes surrounding the large middle stripe (here's one example and another), but they don't have to.

❝ that boy over there... he likes you- ❞ silver tells the brunette girl, a hand resting on nina's arm as she looks in the direction of the curly haired young man standing across the room. ❝ trust me, i know. ❞ she sometimes can accept that while she's very much a victim as she was used as a tool for a villain... she did learn a lot about men from that time in her uncle's "care". ❝ don't stare too long, but- what do you think of him? ❞ she may be the new girl, but- she's got to try to make friends somehow.
