Oh. My. God. Okay, Here's The Thing. I'm A Complete And Utter SIMP For Levi. He's My Favorite Fuckboy.

Oh. My. God. Okay, here's the thing. I'm a complete and utter SIMP for Levi. He's my favorite fuckboy. I have a whole theory about why he did what he did with Cherry. I just love him because if another chance, he becomes the BEST BOYFRIEND EVER. Four full seasons later, and his final recoupling speech is still my favorite of any LI of any season. He's got dumb hair and a silly tattoo and he's a walking red flag, and for all those reasons, I love him.

Not Levi’s biggest fan, but gotta admit the man is HAWT 🔥

Also, why does everyone in S1 look like a telenovela star?

So I was searching for an image of Kassam for an upcoming fic's mood board. I hit the right combo of search words and discovered this model, Wade Poezyn. Fusebox artists often used model agency sites for inspiration and that top left picture is from an agency site. It's so clearly the inspiration that I had to share it.

I also want it known that I did not make this because I have Kassam feelz. I do not. I think he's a jerk. But that model is making WANT to have them, ya know?

I love all of this so much. Especially Henrik and Bobby. Spot on. Though, I feel like Hannah would be one of those people who becomes excited at the prospect of a toddler and reads a bunch of books about them, and becomes insufferable as she "corrects" the single mom's parenting technique. Also, I think she'd do well with a toddler but be a patronizing baby-talker to an older child and put them off completely. But obviously this is through the lens of someone who REALLY doesn't enjoy RHannah, so I might be being mean to her.

How do you think the LI's (who want kids) would react to a single mother? Don't worry, the baby Daddy's fine. He just went on the legendary 100 billion years quest for milk with Gary's dad.

I think it'd be interesting since wanting children and becoming a parental figure for a child are two entirely different things.

"He just went on the legendary 100 billion years quest for milk with Gary's dad."

WOW.

anywaaaay, single moms! let's consider a mom of a toddler.

kassam. absolutely would think twice about dating someone who's a parent. it's already difficult for him to date someone who he cannot see on a regular basis because of his occupation, so he would think twice about getting serious with someone who has a little someone that's so vulnerable in this situation.

henrik. instant dad. i'm sorry but if he likes that girl he wants to meet the kid, NO QUESTIONS ASKED. and i absolutely love to picture him already doing some drawing and some puzzles with the little one right away. kids love him and the love is mutual. and yes the kid is beating him on puzzles and memory games. also, MANY, MANY, MANY board and video games. and it goes on forever if the mom doesn't say anything.

"guys, it's time for bed."

henrik pouts and makes a sad face. "okay..." he gets up before realizing she was talking to the kid and gives her a sweet smile. "oh, right, them. yeah, that makes more sense."

bobby. i feel he wouldn't have a problem, but he wouldn't be as careful as i think people should be in this scenario. 'cause listen, getting involved with someone with a child is one thing, getting involved with them and meeting the child without knowing if the relationship is serious is irresponsible. i feel like the mother might be telling him to slow down because he would probably get excited about meeting the child right away.

gary. he doesn't have a problem either. might be throwing some cheesy jokes about her being a MILF and i kinda don't mind that. he definitely likes someone a little more mature, and you can't deny parenthood does that to a person, so no obstacles here. but he would hold back about meeting the kid for a while, because as you mentioned so briefly, he has gone through that and wouldn't want to do that to a kid, that pain is familiar.

noah. come on, we know this one. he might have the same issue as bobby, getting too excited to meet the kid and has to be reminded it's too soon, but when he does? AH IT'S SO CUTE! noah loves reading to children and this lucky little bastard would have a reading every day, I LOVE IT.

ibrahim. i feel like he knows how young he is, and how that could be an obstacle when dating a parent. he knows if things get serious the problem is not meeting the child, it's what happens after if it doesn't work. he's thinking ahead and considering every possibility. personally, i think rahim wouldn't have a relationship with a mother because of that. everything is really volatile at his age so it wouldn't be wise.

the ones that are not canon but i'm assuming because it's almost canon:

lottie. she might get lost in the cuteness of a kid and wake up before making the mistake of getting involved too early. once she's introduced to the child i think it's fair to say she's buying them a couple of pieces that would fit her own aesthetic, like a bow or shoes.

hannah. she's really young, and i know there's a stereotype here but in her case i think it's accurate just how much she would like to meet the little bastard. she's so tender and delicate and i think kids might love her. reading to them and playing with stuffed toys might be in the list for hannah.

((the others like priya i didn't include because i'm not sure about her plans for the future but i think the scale is tipping on the 'no' side.))

ARJUN FIC. WE HAVE AN ARJUN FIC. I'M SO EXCITED.

Far away in a world of it's very own, tucked away in an affluent fashion quarter not too far from Bermondsey, is a place where designer heels and exorbitantly overpriced colognes supplied by a buxom Mancunian are a requirement. Verona Lane. It’s all about image first, personality later. The people there have mastered the art of keeping up appearances, even if it means renting the odd Lamborghini to pose outside your obscenely expensive bedsit in Penge with. Verona Lane is where this tale of deception, fashion and seriously questionable decisions begins.

I love how The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows creates words that encapsulate the feelings our language has never been able to define. I’m always astonished to look at those bizarre sequences and realize, that wow, we’re here. In this moment.
