— still trying everything

“oh darling,” genya chuckled, weaving her fingers into danica’s hair. “we simply must do something about this.” it wasn’t that the girl’s hair was bad—perhaps just a little tangled up in what felt like nonsensical knots. it would be pretty by anyone else’s standard, but genya was not the norm. she had much higher expectations, for herself and for the other people around her. 

jamie frowned. you would think he was used to being told facts about himself, what with holmes constant deductions. but hearing some stranger doing it under the guise of ‘psychic’ really threw him for a loop. 

“hey!” audrey rose swatted away shawn’s hand. “you can’t touch the body. at least, not until it’s properly assessed.” she was appalled at this behavior. is this the kind of shoddy police work that took place in america? her uncle likely wouldn’t have sent her from london if he knew it was like this. 

hey besties...it’s been a while. 

i’ve pretty much all but deactivated this account. i was going through it over quarantine and slowly, but surely, stopped listening to and watching musical. i am still pursuing a degree in music theatre—nothing can replace my love for performing, of course. but i realized i just lost a little bit of love for musicals, which is a little sad. 

and i still love writing and still want to write. this blog was such a big part of my life for many years that letting it go completely would really hurt me. i’ve made such good friends and writing partners that have shaped me as a person and majorly influence how i wrote and continue to write. 

since quaratine started i’ve been doing a lot more reading and watching of tv and movies. books are one of the things that make me the happiest in life. so, my thought is that this may become a book/tv show/movie multimuse. idk yet, it’s still just an idea

if you are still interested in that, i would love to have you. if not, it’s been a pleasure being friends with all of you, and i hope to see you again sometime. never be scared to shoot me a dm if you just wanna talk, because that was always really enjoyable. 

i love you all <3

Lillian sat silently as her elder brothers stares bore into her, “You two are being quite irrational, you claim to only want the best for me, and a Duke such as Hinton is undoubtedly the best a girl of my character and status could get”

“Lil, you know our families history with the Hintons-“

“Then isn’t it quite perfect to form an alliance” the girl retorted rolling her eyes. In reality she loathed the man, he seemed to know exactly how to push her buttons. But it was a mutually beneficial idea, it’d get swooning women off of his back, and bring attention back to her after her brothers managed to ruined her debut. How they got on her nerves, “I don’t have the freedom as you do to do what you like, you have already postponed by debut so long that I barely have any time left to find a decent suitor” At 21, Lillian was several years older than when her sisters had each began finding a suitor, at 18 and 19.

“What was this about marrying for love you used to speak of”

“You two ruined any chance I had at that,” she snapped back, “Ted isn’t as bad as you two make him out to be anyway,” she sighed before turning as a suitor was announced, straightening her back.

ted eyed where lillian was standing with her brothers. from his distance, he couldn’t quite hear what they were chatting about, though he presumed it was about the engagement that he and lillian had come up with a few hours ago. although they wanted nothing to do with each other upon their first meeting, they realized that the two of them had something the other one wanted. ted wanted to end the constant meeting with women to possibly marry, and lillian wanted to get her brothers off her back. 

as the last suitor was announced, the band started back up, and ted dared make his way to where lillian and her brothers were standing. after all, there was no act if he didn’t dance with lillian at every ball. people had to know that he was taken. 

“they were police issued!” shawn was at a comfort level she didn’t think was possible with clyde. she ran the risk of getting hit in the face still, sure, but it wasn’t scary. … it wasn’t as scary as it usually was. “you–you think i’ve just got money to throw away on fuzzy cuffs.” ( as opposed to the other shit she throws money away on? ) 

“there might be pictures somewhere, if you want proof…”

somehow worse. this conversation was truly pushing clyde to the brink of insanity and she was proud of herself for not pulling the gun from under her skirt and shooting shawn right between the eyes. lord knows that would make her feel better , but she held back , despite her hand comfortingly resting on the fabric of her skirt , right above where the hostler holds her precious. 

his eyebrows raised. “if you’re inviting me to your next shower, allow me to rsvp right n–”

shawn put a finger on jane’s lips. he heard footsteps. they needed to hide, now. he covered her mouth entirely and pulled her into a broom closet. “oh my god there’s actual brooms in here!” he whisper-shouted.

jane barely had time to process the events happening before her eyes. one moment they were standing in the hallway , practically flirting , and now she was being dragged into a broom closet ( with actual brooms in it ! ). she pushed shawn’s hand away from her mouth, gasping out a breath as she was finally able to breathe.
