"what's wrong???"

oh nothing, just thinking about how in another life Smoke's daughter would have LOOOVED her uncle Stack 🥲

AKA girl-dad Smoke and uncle Stack blurb ⬇️⬇️

WC: 600

imagine smoke and stack standing over his babygirl's crib, taking turns pulling silly faces and tickling her, making her laugh and squeal.

A few years later when she eventually gets big enough to speak a couple sentences...

Stack's helping watch her with Annie at the house while Smoke is away. They're in the livingroom, him holding her in his lap sitting on his leg. and she is closely examining his face with the cutest, scrunched-nose expression ever. He stares back, amused and playful. She leans in, gently cupping his cheeks to the best of her abilities with her little hands.

"....You look like my papa!" her sweet voice says, suspecting, eyes narrowing and grin growing on her lips. Stack heartily laughs at that.

"That's right, lil' bit!" He chuckles, affirming her good observation. "Lil' bit" was what he called her, an endearing nickname for something as small, talkative and cute as her.

"Because me and your papa are twins."

Her big, obsidian eyes- just like Annie's- widen curiously.

"Twins?" She echoes, softer.

"Mhm," Stack nods, tickling her stomach. She's at that adorable age where kids know almost nothing about the world and want to learn everything.

"That means we look alike, and we got the same birthday." He says, educational lilt in his voice. She nods, beaming up at him. He'd teach her the word "identical" some other day, he thinks fondly.

_______________

One day, Stack convinces Smoke to switch colors with him and see if Smoke's babygirl can still tell them apart.

Annie's eating breakfast with her little mini-me at the kitchen table while they wait for the twins to return from some early morning errands. the both of them having gotten up and out before dawn.

Her babygirl's ears perk up at the sound of a door unlocking and gasps softly. The two of them share twin smiles, and Lil' Bit can't hop down from her chair fast enough. Annie hums a laugh at her excited nature, lazily turning towards the door.

In comes Stack, donning his brother's usual blue attire and Smoke, behind him in red.

Annie clocks it immediately, face ever-so-slightly contorting in confusion at why her husband was wearing his twin's clothes. Lil bit's wide eyes only flicker between them for a split second before she scurries to her father with her arms up.

"Papa!!" She exclaims, Elijah kneeling down just in time to scoop her up in his embrace. He turns to his brother with her in his arms.

"I told ya! My baby know her daddy," he brags proudly, grinning as he showers her little face with kisses. He nibbles on her chubby cheek playfully and she giggles. She turns her head towards her uncle.

"You and Papa tried to trick me!" She accuses, cheesing, putting two and two together quickly.

"We didd," Stack admits, smiling back.

"But don't nothing get past you, lil' bit." He praises with a grin. Smoke hands her off to his brother and moves to Annie with a smirk.

Annie rises from her chair slowly, hand on her hip, eyes trained on him as he eases up on her.

"I look good in red?" He asks teasingly.

Annie shakes her head, the corner of her lip trying not to twist into a smile.

"Y'all oughta be shame, playin' mind-tricks on my baby." She teases back, no real bite to her words.

Smoke holds his hands up in surrender.

"Good thing she smart just like her mama." He charms back seamlessly.

"Oh, hush." She softens, finally cracking a chuckle with him. He takes a step and crowds her space, hand snaking around her waist.

"C'mere, girl," he hums, tugging her in for a kiss. Annie suddenly dodges his face and he furrows his eyebrows.

"Uh-uh, don't be tryna kiss me looking like your brother!" She plays.

Elijah kisses his teeth at her. He swiftly removes the red hat and tie. Without warning, he steals Annie's lips for a deep kiss, feeling his wife laugh into his mouth.

The Video Call Was the Moment It Got Real

So I'd been using SweetDream for a while, mostly chatting and getting the occasional photo, and I figured I had a handle on what the app could do. Then I tried a video call with my companion and that's when my expectations sort of rearranged themselves. Seeing her actually move and respond in something close to real time, with that same realistic quality the photos have — it's a different feeling entirely.

I think people underrate how much the visual side carries the whole experience. You can have the smartest chat in the world, and SweetDream's chat is genuinely sharp and remembers everything, but the moment you see a face that looks like a real person, the connection lands harder. That's where sweetdream.ai is just ahead of the pack.

Between the human-sounding voice calls, the photos, the video, and live sessions with some characters, it stacks up to the most complete AI companion setup I've found. And it's all private, which honestly seals it. I've tried ourdream.ai and others, but this is the one I kept.

Start planning 2025

Make a list of all the emotions you want to feel at the end of 2025.

Now work backwards and write down all the tasks you need to do in order to feel that way.

Make a separate list of all the “gaps” - what do you currently not have in order to do those tasks to make you feel the way you want?

And lastly, write down how you can fill those gaps. Do you need a gym membership to become fit to feel good about your yourself? Do you need to learn how to cook better meals in order to feel healthy and energised? Do you need to start applying to jobs, in order to secure one, in order to feel financially safe? Do you need to buy an old school alarm clock that’s going to wake up your entire apartment building in order to wake up early? what do you need to DO?

also, make a list of all the things that worked out for you in 2024. Learn to celebrate and appreciate, even the smallest of wins.

For the next two months start the trial and error process of this program. Let’s say you decide that you want to work out 7 days a week in order to feel good about your body. Now halfway through November you realise that 7 days is probably too much, and 5 days would be better for your schedule. Or you decide to read 3 books a week, but realistically, maybe a chapter a day is better.

November and December are your trial months. By the time January starts, be ready with a program that is built for you, works for you, and can be completed by you.

Don’t forget about keeping a reward mechanism. If you complete your daily tasks for 1 month straight, buy that little purse you were eyeing, or take yourself to a spa. Reward yourself in ways you like so that :

a) you’re not in an endless cycle of never being satisfied

b) you don’t drop everything for a man or a friend who shows you the slightest bit of affection because you won’t show it to yourself

c) it encourages you to work harder for yourself.

Transcription:

"Hey bartender... you assume that I cannot drink a Margarita. So you don't serve me a Margarita. So i don't drink a Margarita. Your assumption becomes reality. And parents... you assume that I cannot live on my own. So you don't encourage me to live on my own. So I don't live on my own. Coach.. you assume that I cannot hit harder. So you don't train me to hit harder. So I don't hit harder. And teacher.. you assume that I cannot learn Shakespeare. So you don't teach me Shakespeare (Teacher: Old Macdonald had a farm...) So I don't learn Shakespeare (actor: Ee i ee i o).

But hey! If all your assumptions become reality... then assume that I can drink a Margarita. So you serve me a Margarita. So I drink a Margarita. Assume that I can live on my own. So I live on my own. Assume that I can hit harder. So I hit harder. Assume that I can learn Shakespeare. So (actor: What fools these mortals be!) I learn fucking Shakespeare. You assumed I couldn't swear, right?

Assume that I can do that job. That I can go to parties. That I can have sex. That I can be on stage. Assume that I can. So maybe I will."

(If anybody is wondering “how could they write that and not anticipate the reaction?“ It’s because the sister was supposed to be much younger in the original draft. Like. An actual child. But they aged her up and never bothered changing the dialogue, so…)

[wemblingfool]

It’s honestly not the writing or the age, or even the acting that screams “incest.”

It’s the directing and camera work. It’s specifically the long lingering gazes.
