Is S crushing on mc?
It's dependent!! There will be a subtle choice to decide if they're crushing on your MC or not but if not they'll just be essentially a platonic soulmate.

pls give us a hint, what happened with val? i need to know how bitter mc will be (:
Val was definitely in the wrong in the situation! His mindset when breaking up/ending the friendship w/ MC and their two other best friends was essentially that he outgrew them as friends. Which isn't at all true, but at the time Val was the only one out of the four that planned on going to college. So he 'cut his losses' so to say. There's obviously more to it than that but that was a biiig part of his decision.

People are taking this w their OCs so im joining in w/ Off Season RO’s!
Noel; love that protects
you love so fiercely, with every fibre of your being. maybe you were wounded by love in the past; such that you choose to love and love and love so wonderfully that the next person who comes into your life never doubts that they are loved by you.
Valerio; love that strengthens
you make sure that people know that they are loved, and you give them strength when they need it the most. this is an ability that is rare; the love that you hold speaks wonders of yourself. i hope you're doing alright. isn't it exhausting always being the bigger person?
(you would think based on what ive said about their route this doesnt fit lmao)
S; love that calms
this is sweet. i hope you know that you make others feel at ease around you. you're a gem, a blessing, a treasure - and you should know it. it's comfortable loving you. it's a privilege to be around you and to be let into your world.
H; love that heals
your love is healing. it burns you with every bit of your soul, but you choose to heal, nevertheless. you are so, so so strong and i hope you know that. i send you peace. i send you calm. i hope things will become better for you in time, just as you have made others better in time as well.

"sad...i have a blanket with all this extra room and no one to share it with." With H please 🥺
Your grip on the book you're holding tightening as you hear H sigh for what has to be the twentieth time in the last ten minutes.
"Is there something you want or are you annoying me for fun?” You grumble out, followed by a heavy sigh when they just let out a light laugh at your question.
“A little bit of both, sunshine." They laugh again as you blush over the petname. You try to tell yourself your heart doesn't do a flip at the sound.
"What do actually want then, Mitchell?" You ask, again, though actually turning around from your spot at your desk to turn around to see them laid out in your bed with a blanket over them, one your brother got you for your birthday a few months ago.
"I was just thinking," they start, stretching an arm and dropping it so it lays across your pillows. "It's sad.. I have a blanket with all this extra room and no one to share it with."
You feel your face heat up, your mouth gaping open in disbelief.
Though that feeling quickly vanishes when you see the look of triumph on their face.
"Wh— are you stupid?"
"If only I had a beautiful ice skater next to me.. maybe I should call up Noel?"
"You—!"

realizing RO like. cooking skills levels is so funny bc it literally goes
Noel - very skilled, they had to make a lot of meals themselves due to their parents being away & gift giving is their love language so they like cooking for ppl
H - very skilled, they had to cook often for their younger siblings
S - skilled, their dad owns a restaurant so he starting teaching them to cook as soon as they could
Val - unskilled, he mainly just lives off of cold meals and toast when his dad isn't around. his first year living away from home he called his dad nearly crying because he didn't know how to make scrambled eggs
#in his defense mr. diaz spoiled him like a lot#val is very much like. booksmart not street smart#noel#h#valerio#s

Hello! i’m super excited for your if!! especially since i love ice skating!! I hope you don’t mind me asking but i was wondering what Noel’s figure skating costume would look like? If it would be more stereotypically masc/femme or a combination of the both? Do they switch it up for each contest? I kinda want to doodle them you see so i wanted to make sure i got it right lol! Hope you have a good day/night :)))
I'm glad ur excited!! very nice question as well.
As for their costume, I would say they usually lean more go for a mix, probably leaning towards more feminine if anything, though never feminine enough to just go for a dress.
Think like Yuzuru Hanyu's outfits.
^^ the third one especially!!
Noel does tend to have a flair for the dramatic when it comes to skating.
They would go for lighter colors as well; light blue, lilac, white, light teal, muted cyan. light cool tones I suppose.
#ask#noel#speaking of noel#lmk if u guys r interested in their skating style as well!#very fun to think abiut

I’m starting to actually get to the point where im ready to actually be able to write and code soon, which includes thinking up stats, and that made me think how funny a flirty/bold MC x Noel will be.
Especially pre-route/early route because while Noel isn’t in denial they’re arguably worse in the way they don’t think anyone romantic is there.
Prior to MC they’ve never actually felt really threatened by another skater their age so they’re just like, “what? Of course I don’t like them, that’s absurd. This is how all rivals feel.”
#I seriously did almost cry over coding todsy tho n i havent even started LMAO#ill be fine. hopefully#i am NOT a coding guy tho
