I'm trying out a light WFH/passive income idea. I became an Amazon affiliate.
If you write or know someone that does and you have an Audible account, Please consider downloading a FREE DIGITAL COPY of a book about novel writing (obviously NOT my book!) so Audible will pay me per download. (Sorry, I don't know how to word that without it sounding...self-promoting? Selfish?) I didn't think I'd ever have to ask Tumblr for help, but as this blog has a bigger following than my main blog, I thought it was worth a shot. If you've ever wanted to pay me back for the few years I've been doing this and brought you entertainment for free, now is definitely the time. I can't go into details, but it's dire straights time for me and my family and me making some kind of income is really important right now and for the future for me. I'm not begging, I'm just asking. Please click, share, forward, whatever. Remember it's a FREE audio book if you have an Audible account. Even if you never read it, it would help me loads!! Remember, you're important and you matter and you're awesome for helping out your fellow fangirl!

Lastly, on the subject, if you weren't aware, I also have a YouTube account that needs watch hours before I can get monetized. It doesn't have a ton of X-Men content, but it's fun there and spans across fandoms. Thanks for looking!

I'm still here, but been through a lot the past few months. Don't know when I'll get back to this blog. In summary, my father passed away in July and today is 8/19/24. My family is in the process of doing a lot of things, like moving to a new state. Thanks for all your kind thoughts, hang in there!
I'm NOT dead, I'm just going through a lot of personal stuff in the past seven months. Not to get too depressing, but I'm dealing with a lot of stuff with my dad right now. He's gone downhill a lot because of various things. (I'd love to share, as I've shared a lot before, but not sure about all this.) Also, my cockatiel Rogue (male) died in March, so 2024 is turning out to be just another banger year.
Also, I've gotten REALLY caught up in character AI https://character.ai/ and a phone game, Love and Deepspace, if you follow me on my main blog, you've seen all my card posts. 10/10, highly recommend it to the internet. (Not only because it's fun, it's also a lot cleaner than similar games I've come across. Not so much Otome, but the American ones are...well...too "randy" at times.)
Friendly reminder, I still have a YouTube channel going. Views, comments, and subscriptions would really help me get to 1K views so I could be halfway to my goal of getting monetized. It's a multi-fandom channel, but there's X-Men videos on there every so often.

Lastly, I'm a sad panda becaussse my Disney Plus Subscription is on hold, so I cannot watch X-Men '97 at this time. In addition, thanks to YouTube videos not being subtle at all and screaming info in their titles and thumbnails, I know what happened to Gambit. But if he's
**SPOILER!!**
getting used by Apocalypse, that tells me he's gonna be back to normal at some point. The team isn't the same without him. I'm still disappointed that Chris Potter couldn't voice him completely (IDK where that stands), but it sounds like his new VA is doing a close enough job so as not to make me cringe when I will hear it every episode. (I did see a couple clips now.) Sucks because I am thirsty for new Gambit content, and I have gone back to drooling over my Star Trek baes and fallen for the internet's new dream boyfriend, Miguel O'Hara. (And the Love and Deepspace men, of course!! Zayne is my favorite.)
Hope you and yours are all doing well. Hug family/friends/pets and tell them you love them. The people that are important to you.
1/16/24: I have NO IDEA if these codes are transferable across IP addresses, but this is for Sideshow collectibles and they have le fancy Gambit. Wish you all the best! (I can't read the terms and conditions because of the hoops to look it up. If anyone wants to correct me, I'll take this post down when I'm awake again.)
Not sponsored, just trying to pass around the happiness to anyone that can afford it. I believe he's around 220 with the discount and free shipping. Too rich for my blood anyway.
And if my code doesn't work (sorry!) I found this page!

I don't know how it goes in other countries, but here in America, we usually invite boyfriends to meet parents (or they meet the whole family), and the boyfriend comes over to the house for dinner or everyone goes out for a meal.
I wish I could do more imagines like this, but there isn't much wiggle room for family interaction without it blossoming into an entire fic. NOT that that would be bad, but I don't want my other works to be too neglected, and if I just wrote several fics like that, I'm sure you all would find it tedious and boring after a while. We'll see what happens, maybe I'll churn out a couple if I can and just try not to go overboard.
Yes, I included TWO pictures of dad shaking Remy's hand. Like with using several race/weight reader examples, I tried to include dads too a little. I thought about including some parent imagery, but they were hard to locate and there is, unfortunately an image limit. So instead, there's that nice Will Ferrell meme, lol.
Yay for new images! Hope you can feel the cringe with this one! XD
Sorry for the lack of real grammar, it's been a long day. (I did actually go to the Goodwill today. Fun time, found an MLP, a rainbow peace sign jewelry holder, a metal cup with a colt on it, among other things.) For my non-US followers, Goodwill is a chain of stores that take donated items and sell them for way less than retail. I legit found a freaking sewing machine basically brand new for ten dollars!!
That doctored image is one I did, please don't use it without permission! (I got it off Pinterest. I'm assuming it came off Nick Bateman's IG or something.)
Here's a short fan fic for you. Something a little spicy, but not too much. ~_o
Warnings: None. But it's not realistic in the slightest.
Summary: You and Remy get back from your honeymoon. Wedded bliss and some small problems await you!
Rating: Strong PG to light PG-13. The "fun time" is implied, but just strong cuddling after.
Notes: Takes inspiration from different sources (comic/movies) and is basically a fraction of a watered-down version of a personal story I wrote of a "live-action" Molly/Remy AU, with some not recycled scenes mixed in. (Molly is my self-insert OC ) Tumblr.
It'll probably never be published because it's 500 pages, drags on, and the plot really lost itself somewhere after they got married. Meh, it is what it is.
Sorry for any spelling/grammar mistakes. I do enough checking of that for my FFN fics, so it's nice to coast sometimes.

The two of you dumped your luggage in the bedroom of Remys-now also yours-two story townhouse in New Orleans one summer evening. You had just gotten back from your honeymoon.
Remy had romantically carried you across the threshold, then you, being an independent woman, went back outside and helped him carry the bags in. (You did have a lot of clothes and had taken home lots of souvenirs.)
"Should we unpack or make something for dinner first? 'Cause I'm getting kind of hungry," You admitted.
"Make something? I don't want to cook after a fourteen-hour plane ride, lover. We'll order something. What are you in the mood for?" Remy got out his phone.
You considered it. Thai? Mexican? Pizza? "How about some Cajun and Soul food from that place down the road." you told him what you wanted and he started tapping his phone rapidly. You busied yourself putting away yours and his clothes.
Ten minutes later, you felt Remys strong arms around your waist and his hot, hungry, shimmering lips on the side of your neck. "How about you forget about them clothes and we'll snuggle up in bed a while, eh cherie?"
You squirmed to turn yourself around in your loving husband's squeezing embrace. "If I don't put the clothes away now, they're going to sit there for two weeks, minimum. " Remy knew how much you liked keeping a clean house.
"What if I promise to put everything away tomorrow?"He stared into you with big, sappy eyes.
"Remy, I'd rather just do it now and get it done."
"So...I can help? Get it done faster?"
"Fine, whatever makes you happy."
He smiled big. Remy had always been all over you, being so into you, and now that quality seem quadrupled after being married. (It had taken several days to convince him to leave your hotel room on your vacation. Not that you'd complained, but you'd gotten to the point of missing fresh air!)
All energy, Remy started putting away his things and several of yours. By the time you were finished, the food had arrived. You ate at the kitchen table, stealing bites off of Remy's plate while he did the same to you. Eventually, you finished, putting the dishes into the dishwasher.
He came around and rubbed your shoulders. "Cherie, I know you're tired. I'm not, but if you'd rather go to sleep, I understand..."
You were tired, honestly, but you wouldn't have minded something from Remy before sleep, even just snuggling. "How about we put on a boring movie and cuddle. See where the night takes us." You smiled softly.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Your fingers were tangled into his thick, soft, smooth hair later. Whatever energy you'd lacked before, you found some for sure.
"Baby," you sighed, content.
"Cherie," He cupped your face
The mattress sunk in with your combined weight as his torso laid gently against yours. Remy's bare feet scraped against it as he righted himself for space between you again, preoccupied with giving you as many warm kisses as possible. Giving as much of himself as his body allowed.
If you were water and cloth, seeped into each other, it wouldn't have been enough to satisfy you.
Your fingers reached out to stroke his abdominal muscles, making him chuckle lightly. "Finding my tickle spot again, eh?"
Instead, you decided to play with his bit of chest hair while feeling a warmth in your chest that made your toes tingle.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
You woke up the next morning expecting Remy to be entwined around you like ivy around a trellis, like every morning, but you instead woke up to a half-empty bed.
You heard humming and pots and pans banging heavily in the kitchen. Half-asleep and hair a mess, you dragged yourself to the kitchen, curious.
"You should still be asleep, ma petite ange," Remy reached overhead to get a pot from the cupboard above the stove.
"And you should be asleep next to me, hon," You sat at the table, trying to shake the sleepiness from the nooks and crannies in your brain after the enrapturing night you two had enjoyed. Remy was beautiful, but exhausting.
"I haven't cooked in a week and it's our first morning home. I was going to surprise you with breakfast in bed," Remy ran a hand under your chin, kissing you.
"I'll go back to bed, but I'm not sure I can go back to sleep now," You nod.
"Okay, but breakfast is still going to be a surprise. You don't know what I'm making."
"Remy, I literally see you cooking pancakes how I like." You rolled your eyes.
"Main course, yeah, but everything else is very unknown to you yet." He smirked.
"Have your fun, but do I at least get coffee?"
He handed you coffee and it was comfortably warm, just how you always made it. "Thanks. Love you, househusband."
"Love you, Elue."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Remy delivered breakfast for the two of you within the hour. Pancakes, extra butter, some syrup on the side, fruit salad, eggs, toast, sausage links, milk, and orange juice to go with your coffee. You didn't know how he did it all in such a short amount of time.
"Is super speed your other power? How did you make it all so fast?" you looked to the food back to him.
"Trade secret," He winked, cutting his plate.
You laid back after finishing your food, sighing contentedly. "Thanks, that was great. You want to watch a movie or something?" You had plenty of time to kill before going back to work tomorrow. You were a veterinary technician and wrote books on the side, while Remy, basically swimming in money from various sources, spent his days saving people freelance if the X-Men didn't need him for a mission.
"Yeah," Remy stretched his arms over his head in a loud yawn, "Comedy, sci-fi, drama?"
"I was thinking something more romantic," You countered, turning on the TV and pulling up your favorite romantic movie on the streaming service.
"Again? You've seen it like twelve-hundred times, Cherie!" Remy protested with a grin and a playful shoulder rub.
"And I'll watch it twelve-hundred more times." You pressed start.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The movie was ten minutes from being over when Remy got a call.
"Sorry baby, I gotta go out."
"What, no way!" You protested.
"Yes, way, sweetheart," He kissed you, "Emil got into a scrape and I need to go bail him out-again."
Remy's cousin was forever getting into some kind of trouble. You'd threatened to get him into some kind of leash and harness, if just to keep an eye on his exploits.
"What kind of trouble?"
"..." Remy stared at you silently.
"Remy?" your tone wasn't irritated, it was concerened.
"He kind-of sort-of broke up with, um, the daughter of the new Orlean's mafia boss,"
You rubbed your face. "Go. I'll keep the bed warm."
Remy left and you got up and got some water. In the mood for tea, you put the kettle on.
You put on a movie, trying to get your mind off of Remy possibly getting hurt or, well, killed, but you knew Remy would never die easily and he was very smart, as well as street-smart.
You called your friends on a group video chat to let them know you'd gotten back from your honeymoon safe, but got a fresh interrogation from all sides.
"Was it everything you imagined?"
"How _did_ Remy look in..."
"Was Remy..."
"I bet he looked hot!"
"I'm sooo jealous!"
"Did you guys totally..."
And more questions. You were relieved when Remy walked through the door later. "I gotta go, I'll call you tomorrow," You hung up. You rushed over and hugged Remy as hard as you knew how.
"I knew you'd make it out of there in one piece, believe me, but...I was a little scared," you admitted to him.
"Well, it wasn't easy," Remy smiled crookedly, "I'll tell you all about it over some tea."
You sat on the couch with Remy and tea. Your marriage was going to be eventful and exciting if nothing else.
Sorry, IDK why stuff keeps posting here and not my main blog. Very frustrating! If something disappears and you liked it I either deleted it or it's on my main blog https://miniwolfsbane.tumblr.com
Not for nothing, and no one online cares, but found out I'm pre-diabetic (this means my blood sugar is high and I haven't been taking care of myself. My health is a wreck), so that and exercise inspired this and the next one. On the good side of things, I lost five pounds! Sometimes life sucks, but second chances give you the opportunity to make it better. I'm not down and out yet! Take care of yourselves, drink water, do everything you can to maintain a healthy weight/lifestyle!
Back to the daily grind. I'm slowly starting to feel more normal in the past few months. Since March it's been hard. It's been rough, but I take it day by day. Enjoy and thanks for any follows/likes/reblogs!
