"Two tickets please." Ed grumbled and pointed toward the movie poster behind the clerk. Even after having watched the trailer, he still had no idea what it was about, all he really knew was that he most likely would hate it even though Alex had assured him at least a hundred times that he wouldn't. The guy clicked around on the monitor in front of him for a moment before he looked back up again, eyeing Alex for a moment before asking somewhat hesitantly, "Both full price or...?"

"Fuck this stupid bullshit. Nobody even cares." Alex mumbled, frustrated that not even in school had anybody remembered his birthday. He pressed the elevator button angrily. But, after pressing it a few more times out of frustration, he looked more closely and noticed that the red light next to the button was blinking, indicating that the stupid thing was broken once again. His day had already been terrible enough. First, his mother was already off to work when he woke up. Then, he failed

Love is experienced on an individual level, familial level, society level, romantic level...there's no real easy answer for that one. 🤣
-
Yeah, you wouldn't survive in a Spanish family. 🤣 Alex's mom is very bitter at the moment and isn't very positive in her way of thinking.

"Mama, what is love?" Alex asked his mother while poking around in his pasta. "Bullshit, that's what it is." She almost immediately replied in between bites, making Alex sigh in frustration. He hadn't expected her to be overly cheerful about the topic. That wouldn't have made much sense, considering her own love life or, rather, the lack of it. Even before the divorce, Alex had never seen his mother be loving towards his dad or vice-versa. But, with what the teen now knew about his p

Yes, thanks for giving Ash's story a chance. Plattenbau's updates are consistent because it has been completed for quite a while, image inserts and all (and I really enjoy that story and squeal whenever readers come to similar conclusions that I did when reading it). Ash, on the other hand, was a spur of the moment prompt from the amazing @Aditus that I outlined and plotted out, but updates are slow when it comes to the next few chapters because I want to make sure that certain story elements click into place before we near the end.

Ash needs to let go of the illusion of having control of anything in his life. Some risks are worth taking and a better work-life balance is beneficial for anyone. That illusion of his is steadily beginning to shatter. And while Cove didn't intend it that way, to rob Ash of even more control (all he wanted was to remind Ash how good the two could be together and that he had matured and was an equally willing participant in bed)...he has helped to shatter more of that illusion in Ash.
-
Yes again to all of this. Cove was indeed locking the door so Ashley wouldn't wander in (though he knows his little one is a heavy sleeper). And I'm glad you got a laugh out of Ash's antics. Mission accomplished.

Chapter 7- Some Assembly Required
Thirdly commented on Thirdly's story chapter in Chapter 7- Some Assembly Required
Though it wasn't explicitly written, that was totally playing in the background during that scene! -
Though he isn't even collaborating with the Barren family yet, you're right on the money with everything else.

Bravo! I have come across (without even the shiny charm yet!) a shiny: Bronzor, one of those spiders that look like yarn...you can't miss it instead of white it's red...a venomoth, a snover, a rockruff (all three are blue)...I had a heart attack when I saw and caught a pink Dratini...meanwhile, my pregnant bestie caught a shiny dung beetle on the desert plateaus!! Instead of dung, he's rolling a ball of gold!!
-
Ha! I wish. That'd be the dream, paying in cash for a car without even thinking about it. Never have I ever eaten caviar.
-
Yes, I am so proud of him and he's not even one of my characters. 😂
-
Yes! Yes to all of this. Exactly. He does indeed need to evaluate what he is doing and set better goals for himself, and he will get his chance. Though, he's not going to like it.
-
Yes, Michael is actually a cameo character from another story of mine, Tuesday Staff Meetings. Both stories are unrelated, but he's matured from back then and I still feel an odd proudness about that. And prophetic indeed.
-
Ah, but Cove doesn't want to hold him hostage for real (trap him on occasion, yes, but hostage for life, no).
-
Yes, me too! I'm glad he still has his sister, even if they're not super close. And YES, the one person that needs to hop on the Alex wagon is Ed himself. I couldn't have said that any better! Luna (the author), you reading this? 🤣

Chapter 2- Dangerous Dimples
Thirdly commented on Thirdly's story chapter in Chapter 2- Dangerous Dimples
Oh yes, it can be a REAL struggle for some moms. Ashley's mom Leslie is gradually getting better, but it's not just postpardum depression that affects her, she also has other struggles thrown in the mix. It's been really rough for them as a family, even one that keeps its distance present day (Cove isn't cutting Ashley's mom completely out of her life or anything like that, he's taking his cues from Leslie and how ready she feels in regards to her interactions with Ashley). -
Glad you've been enjoying it so far.
-
Oh, there's definitely drama. 🤣
-
If I had to guess I'd say Luna wanted to keep the focus on Alex and Ed, not delving too hard into the other characters. But, if the gnomes on the ceiling were any indication, maybe Ed was a bit more like Alex in his youth than he'd ever like to admit...🤣
-
Ed took a few calming breaths, and then finally knocked on the old wooden door. Wasn't it blue the last time? Ed wondered while narrowing his eyes at the flaky, dirty door frame that had dozens of paint layers over each other, the newest being a snot green. Mom would have hated this. Ed thought, remembering that green was her least favorite color and that she had even forbidden him as a teen to paint his room any shade of the color. The bastard never cared. He even wore it on purpose to pi

The Epic of Gilgamesh in a Nutshell
Thirdly commented on Refugium's story chapter in The Epic of Gilgamesh in a Nutshell
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned... -
In his defense, Wilhem is just the kind of guy who gives off a creepy countenance but is really just a good guy. Unkempt and not the most polished, but good, nonetheless. As for where Ed is, we'll find out Wednesday! 😇
-
Pssh. Ed is still gorgeous, and will always be gorgeous, even though he doesn't consider himself good looking anymore. And, at the very least, he's downright sexy in Alex's eyes. 🤣
