HEADCANONS.

the santos family lived a relatively quiet life in hawaii - they owned a restaurant loved by locals and tourists alike, they lived in a small house with a view of the beach and they had no issues with anybody. that’s why it was difficult for them to upend their lives and move from hawaii to california after louise’s father fell sick. 

death tw / while los angeles was a short drive away from the beach, it was still different. it was nothing like waking up to the sounds of the waves. ten year old stephen hated california. he missed hawaii. he missed the beach, the quiet, and their restaurant. but his grandfather was sick and getting sicker by the day. stephen ended up hating california even more when his grandfather died a year later. 

stephen - who now only answered to bentley, his middle name and his grandfather’s last name - began surfing again to take his mind off of things. while out in the water, it was easy to ignore the fact that he was in california and not home. he spent more and more time surfing, becoming competitive as he got older. 

car accident tw, injuries tw / it’d only been hours since he’d graduated high school when he and his best friend got into a car accident. they were on their way to celebrate at a friend’s beach house when a drunk driver t-boned their car. while he had some internal bleeding, cracked ribs and a concussion, it was his knee that took the brunt of it. he was about to go pro, he was about to do what he’d wanted to do all his life and it was taken away from him in an instant. 

physical therapy was absolutely hell, especially when he saw the looks the nurses gave him - he knew they doubted he’d even walk again without help. he hated it there until he met a girl around his age whose dream had also been shot. they were different, too different, but they fell in love as they got to know one another. 

drug addiction tw / as much as he loved veronica, he couldn’t stop himself from popping pill after pill to dull the pain in his knee. he became the worst version of himself and still, she stuck around, helping him through it. it’s been a year since he pulled himself out of that dark hole and he never wants to go back. he can handle the pain better now. pills aren’t worth it when he has so much to lose. 

he’s bought a ring and plans to propose to veronica soon... he just needs to find the perfect place and moment. he knows he’s been acting off lately, but it’s only because he’s so nervous. he just wants to show her that he’s serious about them. 

POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS.

surfing buddies and/or someone who took surfing lessons from him. 

best friend. 

co-workers. 

la locals - high school classmates. 

good influence. 

bad influence. 

stoner buddy - makes sure he only smokes weed and never does anything harder than that.

CAMILA DÍAZ.  

THE NAME OF THEIR SOULMATE. aaron hart. 

THE LOCATION & SYMBOL OF THEIR SOUL MARK. inside of wrist / lighthouse.  

HOW DOES YOUR MUSE FEEL ABOUT SOULMATES? she’s always loved the idea of love, the simple thought of someone being her soulmate bringing a smile to her face. she’s a hopeless romantic and always has been. 

HOW DOES YOUR MUSE FEEL ABOUT THEIR SOULMATE? camila finds aaron interesting. he’s obviously attractive and he knows it - even if he wasn’t her soulmate, she would undoubtedly be drawn to him since that kind of confidence is attractive to her. she isn’t sure why the universe thought they’d work as soulmates, but she’s willing to find out; she’s sure destiny or fate or whatever you want to call it put the two of them together for a reason. 

CONNOR HART. 

THE NAME OF THEIR SOULMATE. juliett george. 

THE LOCATION & SYMBOL OF THEIR SOUL MARK. thigh / anchor. 

HOW DOES YOUR MUSE FEEL ABOUT SOULMATES? he thinks it’s something for hopeless romantics. why would a mark that you share with someone be what indicates a soulmate? why wouldn’t you be able to choose your soulmate yourself? 

HOW DOES YOUR MUSE FEEL ABOUT THEIR SOULMATE? since neither of them care much about the idea of having a ‘soulmate’, both connor and juliett have no idea that they’re each other’s soulmates. they’re best friends, they’re exes - he cares for her more than he cares for everyone else. 

OLIVIA ANURAK. 

THE NAME OF THEIR SOULMATE. alexander grayson.

THE LOCATION & SYMBOL OF THEIR SOUL MARK. shoulder blade / dove. 

HOW DOES YOUR MUSE FEEL ABOUT SOULMATES? it’s bullshit. or at least that’s what her parents taught her. they were soulmates, but they weren’t in love. it felt more as if they were brought together by ‘fate’, but they never wanted to be together. maybe, though... just maybe she’ll have a different outcome. she’s seen others be actually happy with their soulmates, so she hopes that’s the case for her. maybe love won’t elude her like it did her parents. 

HOW DOES YOUR MUSE FEEL ABOUT THEIR SOULMATE? she finds alexander to be intriguing. maybe the universe chose right. maybe with him, there’ll be one thing that’ll go right for her.

Quick poll -- should I dye my hair darker? 

I ask because a certain someone is tired of getting random hugs when she’s out and about and people confuse her with me. I mean, this way, she can stop being grumpy and I keep getting my hugs.

“Since ketchup is a liquid made of fruit that contains 20% sugar, does that make it a soda or a smoothie? Furthermore, is cereal a soup? Is a hotdog a sandwich? Place your bets.”

Smoothie. Not a soup. Sandwich. Are cucumbers fruits?

manthamu·:

“honestly i feel like maybe this whole dishwashing thing is my calling. four years in and i’m finally hitting my stride, you know? to be honest, anything beats customer service. i think i’d rather die than listen to some asshole throw a fit over how i gave them the wrong change. it’s 67¢, man. is that really gonna break the bank?” 

so glad you found your calling, bub. i’ll let you know the next time i cook a big dinner so you can come do my dishes for me too, how ‘bout that?

sugarmu·:

do you ever find it a little bit sad that animals can’t have monster energy drinks? i really think my geckos would like it, but i know they’ll never experience being hopped up on caffeine and sugar and it makes me feel really depressed to think about how much stuff animals miss out on everyday of their lives.

okay but if you could, what else would you give your geckos? -- and what other animals do you have? ‘cause my little girl is really into animals right now and it’d be kinda cool for her to see different things, not just dogs and bugs.
