Remember How In S2 Lucas Talks About How Moissanite Is Better?

Remember how in S2 Lucas talks about how moissanite is better?

If Lucas and Hope were getting married she would totally insist on a real diamond. Do you think he would try and argue with her on it or just take her to Tiffany's?

Hmm, you know I sat on this for a bit, thinking about it and I guess... I don't think she'd insist on a real diamond. Hope isn't actually super into that kind of status in the text of the game, IMHO. She's a businesswoman by day and party-girl by night, who is proud of making her own money. The status she wants is to be seen as successful. Her most enduring trait is self-sufficiency and control is way more important to her than social status. Matter of fact, in the scene where Noah had a little tantrum about the Ministry party, he makes a comment about his clothe and Hope is the one who frustratedly says, "Hon, you have nice clothes!" He doesn't have a ton of money and she never once had an issue with that or seemed concerned about his financial status. One of the biggest issues between them always came down to Noah treating her paternally, attempting to "take care of her," which is something she fundamentally rejects. Which is all to say that I think she's a practical person at heart and being spoiled isn't really her thing. So, I don't think she'd be fussed too much over moissanite versus diamond. Since Lucas is a helper type who wanted to join Doctors Without Borders, I always assumed the moissanite thing was an ethical choice because of the moral quandaries of diamond mining. I think Hope would hear him out on that and be like, "Babe, that's fine. Not even jewelers can tell the difference anyhow!" So yeah. I think it comes down to how you interpret Hope more than Lucas, and I just don't believe she'd care. If she wanted a "real" diamond, she'd go buy herself one. But to play into the hypothetical, if for some reason she did insist on a real one, I think he'd cave, but he wouldn't be happy about it. And they'd have to compromise because he'd want an ethically sourced diamond if he's gonna spend money on it.

Thanks for the ask! This made me reminisce on how much I miss S2's strong characterizations and the LI's unique personalities. God, I loved Lucas.

Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have WiPs.

I had so many tags 😂 Thank you @longbobmckenzie, @mrsbsmooth, @operationnope, and @lucas-koh. You have successfully bullied me into this 😘

Nearly all my fics are listed with the love interests and I debated taking them off or leaving them on but I'm lazy and I was copying and pasting, so they're on. Also, oh dear god, strap in.

Welp. I love talking about stories more than I love writing them (clearly), so feel free to choose one of MANY. Also I'm not tagging as that would be more people than I even follow 🤣 Well okay, I'm gonna tag one. @throughthejunobush.

You know, I'm having the month from hell. It's been awful, with lots of hospital visits and stress. I've been an anxious mess all day today in particular. My chest is so tight that it's actually hurting in the middle of my back? What's that about? Anyway, I'm finding living to be extremely exhausting. Then I saw this. And I was like, that's dumb. But I looked at it a couple more times and then... I blepped. An itty bitty blep. And I felt stupid. I felt silly. Then I felt the tiniest bit better. It didn't fix my problems, pay my bills, or heal my loved one. But it did alleviate some of the stress and remind me that smiling is still a thing I can do.

Never underestimate the power of a silly little blep.

I get to howl at the moon and be hairy and no one judges me for not waxing or shaving? WEREWOLF OR GTFO.

reblog so this escapes containment and gets a fair spread

Lobster tale? 😅

LOL, I think I wrote a single chapter back in 2012 or something. Back when I was a newbie novelist. It was basically a rom-com about a woman who owns a seafood restaurant and it's close to closing. But there's rumors that a famous food critic, who goes undercover, might be coming to their restaurant and it could make or break her. Spoiler: It doesn't go well. A couple has a LOUD breakup that disrupts everyone's meals, there's yelling about ass-eating (don't ask), and things get worse.

"Take your fucking phone!" She threw that too. "And take your meal. I didn't even want this salty-assed, overpriced seafood!" The frothing woman grabbed the platter off the table and hurled the entire contents of it. Since the coward was behind her, the three-pound crustacean came hurtling at Danielle’s face. Mister Butter Guy jumped in front of her. It all happened so fast. The lobster nailed him in the nose. He fell backward onto Danielle, buckling her knees and sending them both to the ground, corn cobs, redskin potatoes, and spicy Cajun lemon butter raining down on them.

Thanks for the ask, Saga! 😘

i need to know your opinion on bruno i beg of you 🙏🙏

I feel awful for the disappointment I'm about to give you, but l didn't finish S4. Pretty sure I quit playing right after Tom showed up. And while I was partnered with Bruno, I cannot recall a single interaction we had other than some very awkward kisses. So I have no opinion. I vaguely recall that he was sweet?

Matter of fact from S3 on, I don't think I've ever fully finished a season. Came pretty close with s6 and S8 but stopped before the last episode for each ended. Fusebox bores me as the season winds down.

Thanks for the ask! Sorry for such a boring answer 😆💖
