Hello, Dunhaven! I just finally made my way through my Netflix queue of rom coms that I've been meaning to get caught up on and it has left me in a mood. And you know what that means -- me wanting to hear more lovey dovey things from all of you.

This time: What is your love language? I know that there is that list of five, but I'm looking for something more specific. How do you show and express your love to those you care about most, be it romantic, familial, or platonic love?

I know that it wasn't all that long ago that I coaxed everyone into talking about sappy things, but it's Valentine's Day month and I saw this, so I really can't help myself:



Though she talks about her husband in the tweet, "a person you love" is definitely a much wider scope than just a significant other or partner. So while you're more than welcome to talk about someone like that, I also want to hear lovely things about friends and family members or even pets. You could even talk about people in your dreams, if that's something you want to express. Be public or anonymous, whatever you're most comfortable with. Spread some love, Dunhaven.

Hello, friends! With it being two weeks into 2020, I've been working pretty steadily on my planner and getting all of my exciting dates for the new year sorted out. I like having things to look forward to, especially since I'm packing my last semester of undergrad full of credits, and one of those things I'm looking forward to is this five year anniversary that I will be celebrating in March. Thinking about it has me all full of warm fuzzies and since it's been a while since I did one of these open forum sort of things, now seems like a good time.

So, here's my question! What is your meet cute? AKA how did you meet your partner? Give me all of the heart eyes with your stories, please and thank you.

25 AND UNDER CROWD

( Cut for image! )

Please forgive that I am talking in third person in that invitation. Putting it any other way just seemed strange. 😉

But, anyway! Please consider coming! I know Halloween is an exciting holiday, but if you don't have any plans, it would be great if you were able to come! There will be food and drinks and all sorts of good things. I do want to see costumes, though. Let's get into it.

Just a reminder that today is National Coffee Day, and Java Chip is running specials all day long in celebration. Buy a specialty coffee, and you pick your freebie from either a second coffee or a selection of our baked goods.

Just saying that I've already had an Iced Americano Butterscotch this morning with one of our giant blueberry muffins, and it was 1000000% worth it.

If that wasn't tempting enough, we're testing out Crazed and Salty (Salted Caramel Coconut Latte,) Witches Brew (Chocolate cherry, espresso, white chocolate,) and Pumpkin Gone Wild (If pumpkin spice and butter pecan had a love child...)

If you're not on a caffeine high today, are you really living your best life?

Okay, hear me out. What if we go like ALL OUT on this Millennial Prom thing? Like split a limo or something between us and go eat something like Taco Bell in fancy dress and take pictures and all of that ridiculous stuff. It would be so fun, right? Ian doesn't even have to cook! I was thinking of including Eli, Caty, and Sofia, too, but I wanted to start here, first.

JORDAN

I know I've probably been a pain to be around, so thank you for putting up with me. I love you.

Hi. [...] I'm sorry.

Hi, everyone! Another post so soon? Thanks to Naomi's brilliant idea, I'm going to put together a resource accessible to anyone dealing with the Dreams that essentially just lists who is being dreamed of and any other pertinent details you might think need to be included for others to identify that they're at least sharing dreams about the world even if they don't know the name. For example, it might look like:

Leia Organa-Solo - From Alderaan, daughter of Breha and Bail Organa
Han Solo - Made the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs, from Corellia

Just leave a note here, anonymously or not, letting me know the name of who you are dreaming about and anything else you want to mention. If you want YOUR name attached to it, as well, for shared dreamers to more easily get in touch with you, let me know. Otherwise, I'll attach your Anon ID so that others can filter you anonymously!

This is totally optional, but I hope you'll consider doing it, at least anonymously!

All right, my friends, this one can relate to the Dreams, or just your life here. Commenter's choice! Anonymously, or not anonymously, tell me what song--or songs--is stuck in your head or on repeat on your Spotify playlists. Drop a link, share lyrics, whatever you want. And feel free to provide context, or not. Anything goes. I just want to know what's currently on your soundtrack.

Can we do something tonight? Just us.

[VIOLA]

If I’m weird over the next few days it’s just, you know, Regulus Black screwing over my brain.

[LYRA]

Hey…

You probably don’t have a clue who I am.

So this is nice and awkward, but I think I need to talk to you about something.

A few months ago I posted a lovey-dovey video that one of my classmates put together for our psych class with a bunch of married couples talking about when they knew they were in love with their partner. She did another one, this time just for fun, with some other footage from when she did the interviews and she sent it my way because my grandparents are in it (57 years). This time they talk about first kisses, which is all very sweet and can be seen here.

Like last time, I feel like I need to open up the stage for some further warm fuzzies and possible amusing stories to be spread around. So tell me about a first kiss, Dunhaven at large. It could be with your current partner or maybe your very first kiss, if yours wasn't with your current partner. I'm so over packing right now and just want to hear some stories. 🥰

WHO: Viola Vance → Lena Luthor
WHEN: Morning of August 4
WHERE: Viola's bedroom
SUMMARY: Viola has a dream about an experiment that Lena is attempting and the aftermath of it.
WARNINGS: Spoilers for season 4 of Supergirl, if you're worried about that

( Viola could feel Lena's conviction and drive as easily as her own, but her own life experiences left her worried for the other woman. )
