I work at a coffee shop and have gotten all my co-workers to start calling lattes “hot milkybois”

I also got everyone to refer to the salted caramel blended drink as “the big salty” and I consider it one of my greatest accomplishments

Oh yeah and any time someone orders a hazelnut latte with almond milk (which specifically is a weirdly popular drink) I say “one HOT NUT latte coming right up!”

My coworkers have not latched on to this one like they did with the others for some reason.

I forgot to mention I also pronounce “hot chocolate” like “hot cocklate”… because I’m awful.

please give us updates

Our largest drink size is affectionately referred to as “Texas Size” so sometimes when I hand it out in the drive-thru I like to say, “Here’s that TEXAS SIZE [drink] for ya, YEEEEHAW!”

And some people look at me as though I have just made their entire day while others look like they they could not possibly get away from me soon enough. Both reactions are equally satisfying. 

I made this into a game except when I hand out the Texas-size drinks I say “Can I get a YEEHAW?” And the guests always look mortified but occasionally one of them will let out a terrified “yeehaw” and all my coworkers cheer and then we keep a running tally of how many yeehaws we each get on the back of a pastry bag.

op will not die of natural causes

That’s the most interesting comment anyone has ever left on one of my posts

these moments build our love like snowdrifts

Summary: Killian had asked at the beginning of their relationship, that fateful New Year’s night, how exactly one went about dating the crown princess. Turns out, those are things he’ll have to figure out as he goes. A sequel to “and he called her love amongst the snowflakes”. ~6.2k. Rated M for mild smut. Also on Ao3

~~~~~

A/N: A year ago, I wrote @owlways-and-forever a modern royalty fic for the 2019 CS Secret Santa exchange - and she liked it so much she (and several others) asked if I’d consider writing a sequel. And I said yeah, of course, I’ve already got ideas and a structure - and then I just… never had the time to write it.

This is that sequel. Finally. Sorry it took so long. 

Special thanks, as always, @snidgetsafan​, who deals with my nonsense and my terrible concept of verb tenses. She also made me the AMAZING art above. You’re the best, darling.

Let me know what you think!

~~~~~

Emma, Crown Princess of Misthaven, is everything a man could dream of - and Killian counts himself the luckiest bastard to be granted the honor of courting her. Dating Emma isn’t like dating any other, less prestigious woman, however, and the further they go along, the more he realizes there are guidelines to the endeavor, little rules he has to discover for himself. There isn’t a list, per se - but if he were to make one, it might look something like this:

1. Her well-being is more important than your own.

There’s a great debate amongst the powers that be - whoever they are - about whether his dating the princess while employed as her brother’s security detail is a conflict of interest.

Personally, Killian is torn. Mostly, he doesn’t think so - after all, he spends most of the year in an entirely different city from Emma, two and a half hours away as Leo attends university. Most of the time, she’s not around to create a conflict of interest.

On the other hand, he can see where these concerns are coming from. Now that he doesn’t have to pretend otherwise and forcefully steer himself back to a focused mindset, those times when he is in Emma’s company he’s so absolutely dazzled by everything about her. It’s easy to see where some would be concerned about his ability to protect her younger brother. There’s the matter, too, that his feelings may one day cloud his ability to prioritize her brother in dangerous situations - neglecting his job in the process. 

So, his superiors come up with a compromise. During the school year, when Killian is with Leo at the prince’s university, he continues with his job as normal. On school vacations and during summers spent at home, however, he cedes his duties to alternate personnel and takes a posting behind the scenes, monitoring the security cameras in the public areas of the palace. It’s a periodic demotion, technically - no one has ever pretended that monitoring the security cameras is fascinating work, even though he didn’t get into this business hoping for non-stop excitement - but Killian is happy to take it if it means that he and Emma can be together. 

(Not that it would have stopped them, he knows - he’s far too smitten, and she’s far too stubborn to break off their relationship for something so small as security concerns.)

welcome to the no-curse renaissance

Hey so several months ago @shireness-says, @ohmightydevviepuu and I were chatting about our great love for 3B canon divergence, specifically the kind in which there’s no second curse so Emma and Killian remain in Storybrooke and are forced to deal with their shit. 

I mean, it’s the best, right? Emma facing her feelings. Confronting her past with Neal. Preventing her defenceless baby brother from being named after the man who knocked her up and left her in jail. That sort of thing. 

Killian pining. Emma pining. Alll the pining. Secret sex. Slow-burn feelings. 

There’s just so much potential for goodness. 

So what we need, we’ve decided, is a Renaissance. Like the Neverland one, only in Storybrooke with no curse. 

A no-curse renaissance. 

We’ve written some fics for it. As have @winterbythesea and @elizabeethan. We’d love some more. 

There’s a collection on AO3 now, you can find it HERE. Submissions are open and we welcome them, any fic you think suits the theme, please let us know. 

This is *not* an event. Just a movement. Just to say that if anyone finds the inspiration for a little no-curse fic, we’ve got a home ready and waiting for it. 

Bring on the renaissance. 

Friendly signal boost to let you all know we’ve added a few fics to this collection since it started. Several older ones and even one that just got underway. Come check them out, and feel free to submit some yourself!

I saw the future. There were so few bees left that they cross-bred beekeepers with them so they could better connect with them.

I was taking a test to identify plants (I won because some dude thought pineapples were berries) and after that I met a beekeeper who worked inside of a giant glass beehive and had little antennas and a dope ass beard.

Everyone was commenting on this post, saying that pineapples ARE berries, and even I was like, huh, that’s not right, so I looked it up, and

Bananas, tomatoes, watermelons, coffee, cocoa, pomegranates and pumpkins are also berries.

W-what????????’

WHAT DO YOU MEAN POMEGRANATES ARE BERRIES????

The real reason they didn't put the crocodile on that tombstone.

Killian: Can’t we just write Crocodile?
David: I’m pretty sure it has to be a real name. What about Gold?
Killian: Do *you* know his first name?
David: Mr?
Killian: *long suffering sigh*
David: I’m pretty sure there is a Z in there somewhere. Rum…pel…stilt…zkin?
Killian: There is no Z in there.
David: I don’t see you doing much better, pirate. You’ve been trying to kill him for centuries and you can’t even spell his true name?
Killian: I didn’t exactly write it down, Dave. IT WAS ATTEMPTED MURDER, NOT A LOVE LETTER.
