Master List (Updated 6/2025)

Note: I do accept prompts and I will do my best to fill them if asked, but it may take me some time to fill them. (I can’t guarantee I’ll fill them but I’ll give it an honest shot or tell you if it’s not for me.) I will also fill old prompt meme requests but those may also take some time. Thanks for understanding!

I think Donna was a dancer growing up and in college and does it in her spare time she’s just comes across as a dancer to me tbh

That’s fair! I don’t necessarily see her as a dancer but I know lots of folks in fandom do. I definitely think she has creative hobbies, though!

GO ON ANON AND ASK ME ANYTHING YOU WANT

[jessbakescakes]

So I’m 30 years old and I am tempted to go back to college to study a new bachelors degree as my current one and current job are just not doing anything for me. I’m wanting to do something in public health so probably sociology and then a MPH masters degree. I’m just worried I’m too old to do this?

Hi hello the last bit of the school year is kicking my ass.

I’m at the point where I feel like life’s too short to not do what makes you happy. If it’s what you want to do, I say do it! I think a little life experience makes you marketable.

How did Eugene get his name

It’s the name he came with! His previous owner had to go into assisted living and couldn’t bring him. I kept his name because 1) I love a human name for an animal, and 2) It reminded me of Eugene Fitzherbert from Tangled.

[jessbakescakes]

I like seeing the kind anons, the funny anons and the good kind of crazy anons

It’s been a rough few weeks but I hope to be back fully soon for anons and others! I get home from work and I essentially just crash. I miss having free time 😭

Athletics scholarships? Josh seems to be a runner, and I could see Donna being good at it too.

I always wonder how Josh stayed so fit when he ate like he did 🤣 Maybe he did run, aside from the run with Hoynes.

But their girls would be tall and lanky so lots of options for them!

[jessbakescakes]

All four girls getting academic or sports scholarships?

Oooh could be! I feel like if it’s sports it would be something Josh wouldn’t be in a tailspin about lol. Swimming, or something. He would stress about contact sports or anything where his babies would be easily injured haha.

[jessbakescakes]

I need some ideas for books to include in a baby shower that I’m trying to put together - theme is a mix between vintage and woodland (fits both parents) but they’re also really into reading so I’m going to try a vintage storybook woodland theme… but I need some book suggestions that are not just Disney ☺️

Oh goodness, are you going with animal vibes for fairy tales? Any adaptation of the Three Little Pigs, etc would be good. I know there are illustrated fairy tale ones too! If you’re looking for animal vibes, one of my favorites as a little one was Yoo Hoo, Little Rabbit and If You Give a Mouse a Cookie is a classic as well.

Brad as Tim Walz on SNL?

Listen I just want Brad on SNL for *something* at this point lol

[jessbakescakes]

Eugene has settled into our new place! I missed everyone on Tumblr during my break.

[jessbakescakes]

Tumblr break! ✨

I’m moving next weekend and I’ll be out of town for a few days as well so I’m going to take a Tumblr break! I’ll be back Sunday, April 26th.

Feel free to send me asks for me to come back to! 💜

All four Moss-Lyman girlies are going to Ivy League schools lbr!! I think Caroline would be great at Brown for History of Art and it’s an interdisciplinary college so she can do a mix of courses, Nora at Cornell as she can transition to the Vet School there for her masters, Leah at Yale as I feel she’d be an English or Philosophy major due to her bond with Jed, and that’s top in that area, while Evelyn definitely would be great at Harvard for pre-law in some field like Government due to how much she is like her dad (she’s mini bartlet bulldog)

Josh and Donna are gonna have to start going on the lecture circuit to earn that Ivy money 😂😂

It’s wild because in my post canon world Caroline would be turning 18 this fall and would be off to college near year. Josh and Donna would be so unwell!!

Josh narrating everything to Evelyn and her babbling away back to him, and he’s like to Donna that Evelyn is definitely going to be the politician/attorney out of their daughters as she’s only a baby but already has so many opinions 😂

Josh is absolutely telling people that his babies are the smartest and cutest babies to ever exist lol. He’s preparing for Ivy League admission requirements in his heart lol. Donna has to reel him back in frequently 😂

[jessbakescakes]

single parents au ideas???

Okay so. It’s usually single mom Donna just because that’s easier story wise. (I have single dad Josh thoughts but those are for another day.)

Imagining Donna not realizing she was pregnant with Freeride’s baby when she joined the campaign… she goes back to Wisconsin to try and work it out. He’s a POS as per usual and Donna’s car accident wakes her up to the kind of guy he is/dad he would be.

And then she goes back to the campaign and she has to tell Josh she’s pregnant with Freeride’s baby… and Josh is kind of an idiot about this at first but as he and Donna slowly become closer he’s slowly becoming more involved and interested.

If we wanted this to be a slow burn it still could be, these two essentially co-parenting but totally platonically… or, Josh and Donna barely make it into her second trimester, either one is just stupid enough (affectionate) to be them.
