This is a telephone/gossip table/bench/chair. Like computer armoires of the 1990s and early 2000s and the typewriter desks/stands that preceeded them, they were a piece of furniture designed around an every-day technology that has now become obsolete, largely due to miniaturization.
They come in all sorts of styles and are cute af. Prices are also all over the place, but I've seen them reasonably priced, especially if they need reupholstery.
For a smaller footprint, there is also the telephone table, usually notable for a shelf that would hold phone books. These often get misidentified as schooldesks or lecterns. I have one similar to the last photo and used it in a bathroom for reading material + toiletries.
Fun stuff worth keeping an eye out for if you have a weird little niche that needs a chair and/or stand. A lot of antique specialty furniture could use new homes!
I also wanted to add - if you've ever seen a weird little alcove (especially around the entryway or kitchen) in an older house, odds are it is a telephone nook!
These are also stylistically all over the place - some even have a stool or desk built in. Another fun detail, and something that could get repurposed as a keys/wallet or charging station.

First humans ever to leave the solar system suddenly drop out of communications and the ship can't be found with any equipment. After one month of no contact their home countries start reluctantly holding funerals for the space heroes only for them all to turn up, healthy, well fed and extremely disoriented, in the middle of Tokyo, talking about alien abduction. Turns out that aliens found the poor humans straying out of their solar system, presumably lost, and took them to Alien Wildlife Rehabilitation before dumping them back in the middle of their native habitat.

Further Ryland Grace for Tumblr Sexyman 2026 propaganda, allegedly Ryan Gosling has turned down People’s Sexiest Man of the Year spread multiple times because he thinks it’s cringe, so I think it would be really funny if we, the people, democratically elected him the People’s Sexyman
“Oh but voting for ryland grace isn’t fun, cause ryland gosling-“
WRONG.
get that idea OUT. Ryan Gosling is a conventionally attractive actor. Ryland Grace is a nerdy stubborn fuckin little guy who formed a codependent relationship with a rock spider and is so dumb when it comes to relationships he went out for platonic dinner with his ex’s friend every weekend for years.
this man is not some blonde hunk from the front of a Calvin Klein advert. This is an awkward middle school teacher. He is a loser and i have a list on why.
Unironically said “whomp, there it is” while giving an impromptu lecture to the entire world’s leading scientists
his immediate reaction to seeing an alien was to dance horribly and see if it mimicked him
is aroace
if you don’t want him to be aroace there’s also markiplier
Or Stratt or carl or rocky or rocky and Adrian or mark fucking watney (it’s everybody)
There are currently 455 fics under the tag “ryland grace is a wet cat”
called a tube of gravy “better than sex”
named the medical robot Armando and thanks it
made rocky a paper hat for the top of his xenonite ball that said “savior of the world” and drew rocky lab goggles on his tunnel
wears shitty science pun shirts
wears his glasses so wrong it’s hard to believe they’re intact
Brought back hopecore and space and good movies all in one character

One of my favorite tropes is post apocalyptic towns being named after dilapidated signs with missing letters, like Novac (no vacancy) and Eaden (dead end). There’s something inexplicable about it
thinking about the polytrix parent trap au again. the camp counselor thinking it must be a prank that three nearly identical looking children (because the triplets are actually triplets who look alike and not just twins and another full sibling born at the same time in this au) all have different last names (choi jihae, kang aeri, and ryu hani) and one of them is claiming to be american.
jihae, the only one who knows she has two sisters that are still alive (aeri thinks she has two sisters who are dead, and hani doesn’t even know she has sisters) freaks out because “oh my god oh my god its happening”
eventually they realize who each of them is and they start to bond and, like in the og parent trap, swap places.
they each cover up their respective “patterns” (a skin condition they all inherited from their mama; although i am EXTREMELY tempted to say demons are still a thing in this universe), and paint on whoever’s place theyre taking with fake tattoos that are made to last longer.
jihae having the time of her life helping take care of the grounds of rumi and celine’s home on jeju island. she loves all the different plants and animals, which rumi is curious about because hani never cared that much about them before, but writes it off as her daughter just learning to love the outdoors while at camp. celine figures her out early on but she hasn’t seen or even been allowed to speak about her other two granddaughters in so long. she has beef with mira (so much so that she blocked mira’s numbers and banned her from ever stepping foot near her home on jeju, which is how mira never finds out about rumi and hani still being alive), but she KNOWS hani is in safe hands with mira. she’s seen aeri thriving through entertainment news that she watches while rumi isnt looking (acknowledging the existence of her other daughters is so painful to rumi that she shoves it all away and made celine promise to never remind her of them). she knows hani will be cared for.
(i also changed hiw i think mira believes zoey and rumi and their daughters died. she believes rumi and hani were on a boat to jeju that sank with no survivors, and was unable to find reports of rumi making it to jeju safely because she used a private boat instead, and she believes zoey and jihae were on a plane that crashed and was unable to find anything about them, because zoey changed her and jihae’s last names entirely.)
hani is an absolute nervous wreck meeting mira. she’s caught glimpses of her on tv and the internet, and was fascinated with her in an entirely different way than she was with other beautiful celebrities she’s seen. she always had a desire to meet her, maybe even hug her, but she never understood why. and now she knows why; because she’s her mother. she cries when she gets to meet her, the connection finally clear to her, and mira is surprised but she just figures it’s just aeri’s mutual separation anxiety with her kicking in. she doesn’t even care that her daughter seems to not care much for her usual hobbies, just figuring she’s tuckered out from camp. bobby figures out who she is fairly quickly, but he’s so excited to meet this girl who he figured was dead and hasn’t seen since she was a baby that he lets her make him cross his heart and hope to die, pinky promise, AND swear on his mothers grave (she’s alive but he’s terrified enough of this 9 year old that he figures she might end up in a grave if he backstabs her) that he won’t tell.
wait, what was that about aeri having separation anxiety? oops. yeah so at first she’s REALLY excited to be in the us and be meeting her mom, who she thought was dead. meeting cool sea creatures at the aquarium is awesome! but then she starts missing her eomma. and then she REALLY starts missing her eomma. nobody figures out aeri, because zoey only really has jihae and this weird dude she’s dating that seems to think very little of zoey’s daughter to begin with. instead, aeri outs herself to the guy when he walks in on her having an anxiety attack about missing her eomma, entirely in korean, which he at least knows jihae wouldnt do. he drags her out to zoey very roughly and reveals her as an imposter. but zoey knows that’s her daughter. it must be, so-
she gasps, sees his grip on her daughter, and pulls her away from him. she breaks up with him and kicks him out after that. aeri, now in accented english, apologizes for lying, and tells her who she is. zoey is overjoyed to see her daughter, but knows she needs to get her home. they get on a plane to jeju pretty soon after finding out that that’s where jihae is, partly because she wants her daughter that she raised back quickly, and partly because she knows it will be easier to get to rumi first, and if both of them are together, she thinks it’ll be easier to get to mira.
she suspects she won’t be allowed onto celine’s property, for the same reasons mira wasnt, so she opts to sneak in (“like i used to as a teenager whenever i wanted to see your mama” she tells aeri, who is absolutely enthralled by any story she can get about her long-suspected-dead parents) through the forest behind it. aeri runs off once they get into the woods, so eager to meet rumi, and zoey struggles to keep up because she gets stuck for a bit.
aeri runs into jihae, who’s tending to some flowers and admiring the animals just in front of the forest. as in, literally runs into her. they’re excited to see each other again though and start talking a mile a minute, updating each other on everything they’ve seen and learned, but then rumi comes over to see-
she stops in place. she’s seeing double. “hani?” she asks.
they freeze and turn to her. sheepishly, they both begin scratching the back of their heads, a gesture they both inherited from zoey. “no.” they admit in unison.
rumi shakes her head, “i dont understand, what-“
zoey comes stumbling out the forest then. “aeri, you cant just-“ she gasps. “JIJI!” she rushes forward and hoists jihae in the air, spinning her around while jihae giggles.
“mom!”
aeri jumps in too. “wait! i wanna hug too!”
jihae glares. “you had her for three weeks!”
“so? she hugs really nicely!”
“true.”
rumi watches the whole scene in utter disbelief. “aeri…? jihae? zoey?”
they turn to her. aeri and jihae wave shyly. “hi, mama.”
zoey places jihae on the ground, and gives her ex wife a thin lipped smile. “hi, rumi.”
theres a charged moment between them. aeri and jihae look between them excitedly.
but rumi has other things on her mind (as well). “wait, if you’re here, where’s…”
zoey grimaces. “with mira.”
rumi glares. “you knew about this?”
rolling her eyes, zoey scoffs. “of course not! i was as blindsided as you are! and i suspect mira will be too!”
they both glare at their children, then. they shuffle their feet nervously.
“we just wanted to meet our other parents,” jihae admits.
zoey sighs. she puts a hand on her shoulder. “jiji, i told you one day i’d take you to meet your mothers and sisters.”
“but WHEN, mom?”
“you told her that?” rumi asks in disbelief.
the children turn to look at her. “didnt you wanna meet us too, mama?” jihae asks.
rumi suddenly feels choked up. “y-yes. i did. i just…it hurt so much to think about it…”
“why?” aeri asks.
rumi looks at the ground, desperately trying not to cry. “because i couldn’t stand the thought of you just seeing me as a stranger. of my own daughters not thinking of themselves as mine.”
out of nowhere, she has an armful of her two eldest daughters. “of course we’re yours, mama!” aeri declares.
“yeah! you’re still our mama!” jihae affirms.
rumi gasps and hugs the two daughters she never thought she’d see again close to her.
the sight of them moves zoey to tears.
that’s when celine decides to leave the house, having heard the shouting from inside. “rumi, what-“ she sees zoey and glares. “zoey.”
“hi, celine,” zoey waves awkwardly.
she looks at the two children hugging her daughter. “hello.”
rumi goes to introduce them but- “you must be aeri,” celine smiles at her other granddaughter.
aeri steps back. “h-hi.”
rumi blinks. “how did you…” she squints her eyes. “you knew.” its not a question.
celine nods. “i figured it out a week ago.”
“why didnt you tell me?”
“because i wanted to spend time with one of the granddaughters i was denied of meeting.” celine says.
“eomma, hani is-“
“with her mother, who you know as well as i would never harm a hair on her own daughter’s head.”
aeri takes this moment to break some news to them. “is now a bad time to tell you that my eomma thinks my other parents and sisters are dead?”
“she WHAT?” everyone but jihae turns to stare at her in shock.
they end up staying for a few days while they figure out the logistics of getting to mira.
while celine bonds with her granddaughters and rumi does ask a little about her daughters, there’s a lot of tension between zoey and rumi that is building and building.
the day that they plan to go to seoul, the two of them are late to breakfast. celine eventually goes to check on them. aeri and jihae hear a few shouts of surprise, and then, five minutes later, celine returns, dragging their disheveled looking parents to the kitchen table. “its like you’re a pair of disobedient teenagers again,” celine growls as she seats them as far apart as possible at the table.
they eat their breakfast with red faces.
they also can barely look each other in the eye on the plane to seoul.
outside the building mira lives in, the five of them go over logistics of how they’re gonna get inside so that they can get aeri back to mira and get hani back-
aeri disregards all of that and just walks into the front door. they run in after her, only briefly stopped by security, who aeri waves off. “they’re with me, guys!”
the man in the lobby at first greets her excitedly (he’s known her almost her whole life), but then does a double and triple take. “miss aeri?! i thought you were upstairs with your mother?”
“thats my sister, hani, sir! now, can we please go up? ill get you some extra sweets next time eomma and i go to the bakery!”
he’s in shock, but he lets them up.
the elevator opens up to reveal mira’s penthouse, and the five of them all exit it, four of them trepidatiously. aeri just skips out.
mira emerges from deep within the house, looking at something on her phone. “bobby, what are you doing here-“ she looks up. her jaw drops. “what…”
aeri rushes forward, tackling her. “EOMMA!”
mira hugs her back, but looks at her in shock, breathlessly whispering, “aeri?”
hani runs down the hallway then. “whats going on?” she gasps when she sees rumi and celine. “MAMA! HALMEONI” she runs towards them and drags them down into a hug.
zoey and jihae stand back, watching two families they suddenly feel a bit left out from.
but then mira rises up from the ground, staring at them in utter disbelief. “zo? how?”
“but…the plane…” she looks at rumi and hani. “the boat…”
“not my flight,” zoey clarifies.
“not my boat,” rumi says, face buried in her youngest’s hair.
mira shakes her head. “what are you two doing here? and why was hani…” she gasps. “you didn’t…”
“we didn’t,” zoey starts, crossing her arms.
“they did,” rumi pulls away, also crossing her arms.
when mira does the same thing, all three children gulp. “uh oh.”
(and thats all ive thought of for now ngl. eventually mira profusely apologizes for the fight all those years ago and rumi apologizes for escalating it and zoey apologizes for just giving up on them and they cry and fuck and get back together about it)

By the time the stones actually shift from your weight you already want to be two steps away)
