#1, I think. Both are OMGGORGEOUS, but I agree with the muted/grownup/professional thing you point out, and fewer points in the pattern is not to be underestimated.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

My flight arrived in Dallas early. Clearly the world is going to end.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
It'd probably be wrong for you to ask her strictly for our amusement, huh?
Ha.

Our wings are not tired
My Monday already involved getting up at 4:30 and I'm now half way across the country and it isn't even 11 AM in my home time zone.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
#1 wins.
I'm pretty sure black women lose. We usually do. Unless the party in question is looking to indicate solidarity of being oppressed by the white man, and even then they probably feel we're less desirable. Wide nose thick lips kinky hair, don't you know?

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Man, I just finished eating my lunch which was a homemade meatball and cheese sandwich on potato onion rosemary bread. I toasted up and it's ALL GONE NOW and I'm sad. Because it was delicious.

I want Nora's lunch!

It was indeed JUST THAT GOOD. Damn.
Meatballs are my new favorite thing. Spaghetti and meatballs (dinner last night), meatball sandwiches, meatball pizza (that's dinner tonight) (I made a double batch of meatballs).
The potato and rosemary bread won't be available again till Thursday (it's a weekly special at our bakery) so the dream cannot be revisited until then. However, I suspect by Thursday all the meatballs will be gone.

Punishingly Intricate
Meatballs are my new favorite thing.
I put turkey meatballs in some pasta e fagioli I made on Friday night! SO YUMMY! (and I had a bunch leftover so I froze it...i'm sure I'll be defrosting later in the week.)
