#party asks

Hey anon!! Thank you for the ask!! 🥹🥹💖💖

Yeah they didn't!

And the reason was cause of Stack! In the first chapter we see in the argument:

And how she says Smoke probably even bellieved it that he'd come back, and knows Stack is gonna keep him there somehow:

All the love for the 1925 part of chapter 1 to the girlie @myheartsaysyes 🥹🥹🥹💖💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏🫂🫂

And then seven years later, Smoke's reflection:

He hadn't even believed the divorce/separation (hinted in the letter which Annie's side to it was mentioned in chapter 3) was final till the papers:

Even earlier in chapter 1, him believing he would come back. Just a little longer:

Thank you so much for these, @allaboutchoices! I’m going to post all of the questions here - filled in most of the answers last night, but fell asleep before I could start the drabble... I’m lucky I stayed awake for the firework display - I was practically half asleep by then!

(The drabble will be posted separately)

End of year questions:

2) Favorite movie of the year?

I think my favourite film of this year was probably ‘The Lion King’ - I’ve only actually seen three films in the cinema in 2019... the others being IT: Chapter 2 and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

3) Favorite TV show you started watching this year?

I don’t actually think there was anything that I started watching on TV in 2019, so I’ll have to count Netflix, and that would be ‘The Haunting of Hill House’ - that was just 👀😱

18) Favorite places you’ve visited in the 2010s?

Oooh that’d be Finland or Spain 😍 or London

23) Favorite movie from the 2010s?

Oh gosh... urm 🤣 there’s just so many, though I adore Mary Poppins Returns!

24) Favorite book you read in the 2010s?

‘The Book Thief’ by Markus Zusak - it’s such a good book! Would highly recommend it if you haven’t read it - and the film is just 😱😭

2020 asks:

1) What are 3 things you want to achieve next year?

- To not have headaches so frequently (that counts as one, right? 😂)

- To visit my maternal family; they live four hours away, so I only see them at weddings and other special occasions

- To have a year where one of my priorities is my well-being; I tend to focus on others more than myself, which is good and I always want to do that, but I also need to look after myself.

9) What movie coming out in 2020 are you most excited for?

In all honesty, I’m so out of touch with reality that I have no clue what films are coming out this year 😂 maybe the new Harley Quinn film tho - it looks good!

10) What TV show coming out and/or returning in 2020 are you most excited for?

Call the Midwife; tenfold. I believe the new series actually starts this weekend - better prepare myself for the tears. Oooh and the second ‘Haunting of Hill house’ series (whatever it’ll be called - I’m not actually too sure)

19) What do you hope will happen around the world in the next decade?

World peace and an end to famine and poverty - also for countries to do more to protect the environment and animals.

Get to know asks:

3) Are there any fictional characters you relate to/identify with?

I have always identified with Hermione in some way; I think it was her love of books and learning. I also feel think I identify with Merida too - she’s sweet and caring, but can be rather feisty and fierce at times 😂

10) Favorite memory?

I have so many, but I’d say many of them were of times I spent with my grandparents ♥️ if I had to choose one, however, I’d say it was the many times I ate ice cream with my nan - that sounds so plain and boring, but the moments that you spend with those that you cherish are the most precious memories.

12) Talk about something you’re passionate about.

Education - every child has the right to receive a high-quality education that caters to their individual needs. All children, regardless of their gender, should be treated as equals and given the same academic/generic opportunities as those of the opposite sex. No child should be left at a disadvantage, and all children should be rewarded with an education that is fun, of a good standard, beneficial and supportive of them as part of a collective and as an individual; everyone learns differently, and no individual’s needs or learning preferences should be discredited or ignored.

Choices/Fanfic asks:

1) What are your favorite books?

Choices wise, I’d say my favourite by far is Bloodbound; I also love The Elementalists and Desire and Decorum - Adrian, Ernest and Beckett are just 🥺♥️

2) What are your least favorite books?

Home for the Holidays and Across the Void - those are also the ones I played the least of too!

9) Name a Choices character that deserves redemption.

I’m just going to name one that got a redemption that deserved it, as I cannot think of any from the top of my head that do deserve one - Becca from the Freshman series.

11) Is there a character or pairing you enjoy writing for the most?

Definitely Adrian Raines/Adrian x MC 😍♥️

19) Which character/pairing do you want to write more of?

Ohhhh so sorry Anon 🥺 omg so I was in the middle of writing it, and then i took a break. Then i was in a rut, then ive been ill for weeks and while ive been ill, i started writing 'i ain't believe you' 🤣😔 i do plan to go back to it, i just dont know when...😭😩 but im glad you are wanting to read it!! 💖💖💖💖 Here's another snippet of it:

Oh yeah definitely Anon!! 🤣🤣🤣 thats why i added that line in about him saying shes trying to keep him there!!

(Also thanks to your ask i noticed another typo in the chapter and went to fix it! 💖💖) but yeah totally, he was imagining what it took for her to disarm him and tie him down, among loads of other emotions wrapped up within him, he was annoyed he wasnt awake to feel it!! 🤣🤣

Hellooo anon!! Thats so sweet you love it!! Yes i plan to!! I think i said in my ao3 end of chapter notes on part 2 that i will be writing a part 3 for sure, maybe part 4 depending how it goes!

And ah man yeah it makes me mad so much describing outfits 🤣🤣🤣😭😔😔 so i guess thats something that everyone else is gonna have to suffer along with me if they read my fics 🤣🤣🤣😔😔💖💖💖🥺🥺🥺 so in part 1 i had a picture of Annie's outfit but idk where it is now 🤣🤣

For Part 2 during the marquess's ball, I loved Alice's outfit with the flowers and all that cause Annie studies hortology. Her hair is Wunmi's hair styled during one of her interviews/photoshoots! I added in the gold cuffs in thei fic that ive seen worn on braids i thought that would be cute too 🥹🥹 my description isn't great sorry 😭😔😔

And Elijah I just took inspiration from these outfits from Will and Anthony:

But changed the details so it was like gold buttons with a chain, and another chain as well as a blade holster hehe 🤣🤣 ALSO BROWN WAISTCOAT i was thinking about Annette's flower dress matching Elijah's brown waistcoat 🤣👀💖 i saw this AI MODIFIED photo that i didnt want to reference cause its AI but the waist coat is stunning, thought it would suit Elijah cause MBJ looks lovely in brown too

And his beard and all that isn't as thick as the film, i was talking about this with @myheartsaysyes ages ago about how she said the fics not set in the film world she imagines his beard different. I agree, for me i imagined in this fic he has it like this:

Similar style of mustache and goatee but not as thick as how Smoke has it in the film 🤣 real sorry my descriptions of appearances are a disaster! 😭😔😔

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 sounds like a complex in the making!!! 👀🙉🙊 idk how i feel about it but i am laughing!!

Would they have their adult voices still? Could they talk normally? If not, i feel like Stack would get so mad that he can't articulate like he usually does, and Smoke would just run away.

Do they not remember what happened since you said when they are changed back, they ask why they are wearing diapers?
