"Loyalism in New York during the American Revolution", found (where else) on Archive.org, a website I will be donating my entire first paycheck to when I find employment again for saving my ass at least a dozen times this year and that is not an exaggerated number. (https://archive.org/details/loyalisminnewyor00flic/page/252/mode/2up)
Page 251-252:
The entry notes that the Loyalist owner of the land, Richard Floyd, disposessed of his land by attainder, had his land sold to "Benj. Talmage and Caleb Brewster" for 730 pounds, covering The Middle of the Island Farm in Brookhaven township, 4 1/3 lors, about 320 acres, "reserving to William Floyd, Esq., and to his heirs and assigns one lot and one-half lot of the above described lands claimed by him as his property." The land was bordered in the north by William Clark, east by William Smith, south by John Homan, and west by the Connecticut River.
Parker Wickham, also under attainder, had his land sold for 1250 pounds to Ben and Caleb. It was a "tract in Southold township known as Robin's Island, about 350 acres. No definite boundary given."
(5K, domesticity, bittersweet ending, but hey that's just where my mind goes.)
There's more, though. With some... familiar names.
We've got a listing for a Joseph Brewster of Brook Haven Township, buying land bordered by a Benjamin Floyd. I cannot for the life of me find a Joseph in Caleb's known family tree but maybe I'm using incomplete information.
(EDIT: FOUND HIM! And you'll never guess where. You know Abraham Woodhull, the Abraham Woodhull, well he had a daughter, Elizabeth, who married an Isaac Brewster, who is the son of a Joseph Brewster from Setauket. If this is the same Joseph, he's Abe's daughter's in-laws. They're parent-in-laws. What the-- Oh, and is this Joseph a direct relation to Caleb Brewster? I honestly don't know, WikiTree is so unhelpful in mapping out these families.)
Benjamin Floyd himself is buying land that's bordered in the east by a Nathaniel Woodhull -- land that was Richard Floyd's, taken by attainder. Is this Woodhull a relation to Abe? No idea. Is Benjamin Floyd a relation to Richard Floyd? Could a family member buy land that had been taken by attainder?
And then we've got Caleb Brewster himself throwing in lots, literally, with the same Benjamin Floyd, buying four lots in Nocamock.
(Benjamin Tallmadge, you may remember, married a Mary Floyd, though I can't find evidence of a Benjamin in her family).
Ooooh I wanna know, I wanna know so bad. What was going on here? How did they all know each other? And did they?
I’m feeling kinda lonely tonight so I want to spread love and send you these soft bois 😌🥰💞
(I like to imagine Olli is hugging Allu from behind here 🥺)
and of course Im not gonna leave out this one (sorry 🤧):
k that’s it byeeeeee 🥺
come heeeeere let's be lonely together 🤧
just look at our soft cuddly babyboy boyfriends!! 😭 ngl literally just last night I spent an embarrassingly long time staring at the one where they're sitting on the (shared <3) hotel room bed, I'm just having such soft feelings about it and can't help but imagine they have just woken up from a nap for the interview and intend to take another one cuddled right up the very second they're done with the interview 💕
the newest one is still killing me though 🥺 aaaaaaaaa just add a few more blankets and pillows there and it's the perfect love nest 🤧💕
here's some more cute pictures for us to look at and scream about, they're one of my favourites (besides the ones you sent and literally any other Olli/Allu picture that exists)
especially they last one 😭😭😭😭😭 sorry I don't know whose picture it is, I'll add the credit / remove it if asked, I just love it so much I had to include it 😭

See you at Basrars, I’ll be sobbing into my ice cream
last arc of love between fairy and devil in a nutshell:
dongfang qingcang and tai su’s conversation under his Feelings Tree was amazing. everything bounced off but him being forgotten by her and ughhhh
i love that dongfang qingcang’s hamster ball of rage transformed into a power of love inferno. the visual callbacks to the first ep? amazing.
im also glad that chidi woman’s arc wasn’t the final big bad, and how it wrapped up was really bittersweet in a good way
changheng going full divorcee and getting his eat pray love on in the mortal realm? love to see it
A+ that they didnt try to shoehorn in danyin and changheng in the last minute. i was expecting that since he died for her in the mortal realm but was pleasantly surprised that sometimes a dramatic self-sacrifice to an immortal chaotic evil force can be Platonic
shangque upgrading his fashion game in memory of his beloved moon supreme during that 500 year gap by adding color block panels, i respect it
i wish we had ooooooooone more ep to sort of settle into the happily ever after but im very glad we got what we got
definitely in my top cdramas, i havent been this happy with a drama since love and redemption
I don’t get it. It’s been 20 years, why can’t they finally be on good terms?
Neither of them are helping the situation. JT always with his passive aggressive quips in his concerts (why can’t he hold his tongue ONCE?!) and now Britney’s adding to the fire on IG and unleashing her crazy fandom on him.
