// I'm entertaining (and hating) an idea I have for Ashira: that slowly, more of her family, especially her more orthodox members, distanced themselves from her or even outright disowned her with each "sin" and shame she brought to the family.

Being a child of divorced parents

Choosing her education and a writing career instead of marrying at a younger age and being a subservient wife.

Losing her virginity and having multiple partners before meeting Naseem

Marrying a (half-) African man

Having multiple miscarriages, only to have a son who's sick as punishment

Taking on a queer and manic (and feminine!) man as her personal manwhore

Having the queer man's child and divorcing her husband

// I thought those memes about writers looking up every little detail on the web to make sure they have details correct was a joke.

But I am now researching the average heights of 8-year-olds and refrigerators from 1984.

Awkward First Meetings

[my muse steps on your muse's foot, scuffing their very expensive shoes]

[my muse is eating your muse's order, thinking it was theirs]

[my muse tries to shoot a 3-pointer trash in the bin, but hits your muse just as your muse was walking right in the line of fire]

[my muse did not know your muse was the author of a written work, and had been shit-talking the work to their face for the past five minutes]

[my muse has been staring at your muse's unzipped fly/nip-slip for a while, trying to figure out how to warn your muse]

[my muse is going the same direction as your muse, but they don't want your muse to think they're being stalked, so my muse has been changing up their pace and stopping and starting, making themselves more obvious to your muse]

[our muses' dates, who are friends, have went to use the bathrooms or smoke and left our muses alone at the table]

[without thinking, my muse slaps your muse's back to kill a bug]

[my muse asks your muse when is the baby due]

[my muse lets out a wet, loud fart not knowing your muse was right behind them]

[my muse sends nudes to the wrong number and it goes to your muse]

[my muse asks a genuine question, and your muse thinks mine is flirting with them]

[my muse thinks your muse is a mannequin and feels up their jacket to check the quality]

[my muse falls asleep on your muse's shoulder. they talk in their sleep, and it's not pretty]

[my muse tries to quiz your muse on facts about a fandom they're both in]

[someone has asked both our muses to watch their kids while they run to get something somewhere really quickly. It has been thirty minutes.]

[my muse stands and listens as your muse lists off random and disturbing facts that they know]

[my muse finds out your muse is that online RPG player they've had beef with for the past couple years]

[my muse follows their fat cat to your muse's place and finds out that your muse has been feeding my muse's cat, undoing their diet]

[my muse's package has ended up at your muse's address, and now my muse has to ask for the package with the address of a well-known creepy sex store]

[Jesus, which father figure?]

Ay yo, it's Peter again. Uh... Okay, so, when I was a little kid, I had a friend named Eddie, who was an amazing man. He was the first to teach me that being queer and men being feminine are okay! But then, like a year after I met him, he died of AIDS.

And I know now that it was unfair for me to blame Arthur for his death, but back then, I just...

[Shrugs]

I wanted Arthur to care about Eddie. If he couldn't give a damn about me, could he at least give a damn about one of the most beautiful citizens he's ever had?

I brought some sugar-free chocolate bites, because this bowl is looking a little unhealthy.

[In the bowl they go.]

[Oh, this TikTok trend looks fun! Peter wants to give it a go!]

[Peter steps forward to the table]

Hi! My name is Peter, and when I was "old enough" to take care of myself, my brother, who was my primary guardian at the time, left me on a fort to fend for myself since I served no use for him, and whenever I didn't have any food coming from the mainland, I had to eat whatever vermin and bird I managed to catch.

I brought some sour tropical octopus gummies!

[Dumps them into a bowl]

// Am thinking about why I write Peter white-knighting for people. Of course, part of it is because it's simply his nature as a military fort to serve and protect (don't worry, he's working with his therapist on not doing that anymore, lol), but there is also the fact that his brother('s government) left his fort to rot and fall apart and only came back to get rid of him once and for all because he was revived in a way that still didn't serve any purpose for his brother('s government).

What if Peter is still operating on "I need to be useful somehow so motherfuckers won't kill me"?
