But will I stop? No
Death Comes to Pemberley - P. D. James
A Pride and Prejudice sequel/murder mystery
It's a few years after the end of P&P: Darcy and Elizabeth have two little boys, Jane and Bingley have an estate of their own not far from Pemberley, Georgiana has a suitor, and everyone is generally pretty happy. On the eve of the annual Lady Anne's Ball at Pemberley, Lydia Wickham arrives uninvited on their doorstep in hysterics, screaming that her husband has been killed.
Wickham turns out not to be the murder victim, but the chief suspect in the death of his friend, Captain Denny. The investigation and trial that follows leaves the inhabitants of Pemberley shaken and unsettled.
Contrary to what the Sunday Express quote says on the front cover, this book does not have the pace of a thriller. It's probably the slowest-paced murder mystery I've ever read: there isn't a plethora of suspects to systematically rule out, and there aren't a lot of red-herring dark secrets coming to light over the course of the investigation. It's actually pretty uneventful for most of the book, but I don't necessarily think that's a problem; I think it fits well with the Jane Austen Regency setting it's trying to emulate. There are still some nice puzzle-pieces-fitting-together moments at the end, and I finished it feeling satisfied. And there's a couple cameos of characters from other Austen books, too!

Accidentally In Love
Summary: You work a comic con in Toronto to help a friend. Little did you know you’d make a deal and accidentally fall in love.
Pairing: David Castañeda x Reader
Word count: 1890
Warnings: Curse words? It’s pretty fluffy I guess. Pre-smut?
Thank you @like-a-bag-of-potatoes for being my beta and @lookitschynna for encouraging me to actually write this. This will be a series so if you want tagged let me know. Enjoy!
The incessant buzzing of your alarm forced you awake, grumbling to yourself about having to be awake at such an ungodly hour, you slid out of bed making your way towards the shower. Today was the day you agreed to help your best friend’s mother, Susan, with the Toronto Comic Con. You tried to recall what all she told you about it, this years con was special for some reason or another. Instead of being three days, the con was going to be an entire week filled with comic book geeks and almighty celebrities.
Your assignment for the week was to be a handler for one of the many celebrities that would be flooding the floors. It seemed pretty easy, just like babysitting a toddler. The curiosity of who you’d have was almost killing you though. You were obsessed over these cons just as much as everyone else. Anxiety and excitement flowed through your veins as you got dressed. Deciding to spice your look up a bit, you opted for some black skinny jeans, a black tank top, black stiletto heels, and a red leather jacket to match your red lipstick. You ran out the door completely forgetting all about breakfast as your adventure downtown began.
Diego drabble
At this point just assume this is the reader from What a Time to Be Alive fic, cause it is.
You had just gotten done with teaching a client how to box for the past hour, and oh man are you hungrier then ever. Your arms feel tired and your grumbling stomach is practically yelling for you to find some food. You cursed yourself for skipping lunch and instead continuing to spar with the gyms only heavy weight, aka the only guy who could actually take one of your hits and deal them back at you without fear of injuring you.
Diego would complain that he’s a perfect sparring partner and no one is a good as him, but training with Diego either leads to giving him a black eye or a heavy makeout session. Depends on how you’re feeling that day, but for the time being all your mind is set on is your big beautiful leftover burrito patiently awaiting in the fridge all wrapped up with nowhere to go but your growling stomach. You throw your duffle bag over your shoulder and make a beeline for the gyms back room where yours and Diego’s apartment is hidden.
You practically speed walk down the hallway, quickly unlocking the door and shutting it with a loud thud. You jog down the steps and past Diego who’s cleaning his knives on the nearby small kitchen table. Throwing your dufflebag onto the floor your heart soars with excitement for your delicious burrito soon to be in your hands. You don’t even hear when Diego says hi to you, your mind completely zoning out on anything not having to do with your current mission at hand.
Flinging the refrigerator door open, your hungry eyes scan down to the hidden corner that you so carefully concealed your prize, under the bag of apples. Reaching out, you shove the apples to the side, nothing. You then push away a wrapped up half eaten sub, then you knock down some water bottles. Your burrito is M.I.A. and now you are livid. You let out a frustrated huff of air while you pull yourself out of the fridge, slowly shutting the door, your eyes glare at a picture of Diego’s stupid face from a poster cut-out on the fridge.
“You wouldn’t have happened to have seen a burrito in here now would you?” Your eyebrow raises as you interrogate Diego, he looks off to the side for a split second before he makes eye contact with you.
“It was an accident.” Your eyes instantly narrow at this sad attempt at an excuse, he winces when you put a hand on your hip, he knows whats coming next.
“Diego how do you accidentally eat someone’s leftover burrito?!”
“I didn’t realize it was yours.”
“Who else could it have been?!”
“I’m sorry.”
“There’s only two of us here. You and me!”
“Calm down Y/N, it could’ve happened to anyone…I was hungry.”
“Diego I was excited to eat that, you bastard. You knew that was mine, I bought that delicious little fucker and you just ate it like a monster. How dare you…HOW DARE YOU DIEGO I WAS EXCITED AND YOU’VE JUST RUINED MY GODDAMN EVENING, UNBELIEVABLE! And to think I was gonna let you get some tonight, I can’t even look at your stupid dumb traitor face.” You passionately rant with fire in your heart, you angrily cross your arms over your heaving chest, avoiding Diego’s gaze as you pout by the fridge.
“Y/N.”
“What?”
“It was delicious.”
“I hate you.”

ignoring politics is a privilege
if you’re not watching the presidential debate right now, you should
I just watched Joe Biden tell Trump “Will you shut up, man?” on live TV
life hack: if you want to make this debate 500000 times more entertaining, just watch Joe’s face while Cheeto Man is talking

I honestly cannot even begin to explain how much the siblings actually messed up the 1960s man but im going to break it down maybe:
- Allison will most likely earn a place in history books around the civil rights movement, first she started protests and then was linked to the assassination of JFK, she’ll definitely be in there (all of them most likely but I imagine allison the most)
- Klaus started a cult using many famous song names, song lyrics and more which means some of the artists in the future will not actually use the phrases/songs/band names or will be confirmed to be members of his cult
- he probably earned a really large following after his cult basically got advertised on TV, which would leave a lot of people looking into his cult and subsequently joining
and how much tax did he evade please i would like to know- they probably caused the biggest conspiracy theory ever:
- -They appear to have not existed at all before the year 1960, there will be no record of any of them
- -Probably the most unusual mix of people, a black rights activist, an escapee from an asylum, a cult leader, a russian spy, a boxer who works for a gang and a child that they are keeping ‘hostage’
- -Their pictures would be aired all over television, newspapers, posters, everywhere and probably became the most well known faces in the world
- - and then theyre gone, never seen again
- I think Elliot dying also would of caused a massive scene that they were once again linked to, someone would stumble across his body that was never buried or realise the tv shop owner hadn’t been seen in days? weeks? months?
- and when they go in they would find öga för öga written in blood on the floor
- the frankel footage of a completely different assassination of JFK
- photos of all the academy on his wall along with all his other conspiracy theories
- so now theyre all linked to JFK, elliots death and aliens probably
- lets not forget the media said they were holding Five hostage, a child hostage, thats some serious business for a group that will probably be called a terrorist group as they are a group plotting against the american government and they just kidnapped some random kid
- Vanya being called a russian spy having connections with the assassination would probably cause some h u g e tension between countries with arguments where russia would probably be like ‘listen america we genuinely never seen this random woman before’
- Jack Rubys gang would be getting a lot of attention because of Luther, they would basically have to drop out of sight for a while because of their connections
- Diego being an asylum escapee probably changed completely how asylums are ran, which is obviously i guess a minor thing but still a change
- at the end of the day no wonder Reginald didnt adopt the siblings, it wasnt because of the meal it was most likely because of being the most wanted people in america
- what would people say if reginald raised the og siblings, baring in mind reginald is basically a famous inventor and billionaire who publicly shows the academy to the media, and his adopted children look identical to the most wanted criminals in american history and also a child that was held hostage and then was never found
- it would cause quite a stir
- they really did the most in their power to change history
Absolutely obsessed with the idea of the Hargreeves level of fame in season one. Not Allison cause she had a whole other career but like Diego. Imagine Diego going to get milk or something and the lady at the register is like hey. Your that umbrella guy. Him getting weird looks at like the airport and having people whisper and point at him and try to see if he’s holding any knives cause that’s like his identifier. Like is that the famous kid from my childhood? Or just a thirty year old man who really likes leather??? THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW
I imagine it like Perry the Platypus...
Diego normally: no reaction
Diego with knives: thE UMBRELLA GUY!??!!
