Why, ◡̈⋆ʜᴇʟʟᴏ(●’◡’●)ﾉ

I got a cutesy and curious question to ask. With the gang, if possible, would the peeps like a partner / friend (whichever you wanna vibe with) who bakes and cooks with the devil lettuce? (I had to, make me laugh in mah brain) Probably might even getting personal batches for themselves to snack on. (⁎˃ᴗ˂⁎)

-Strawberry Lover 🍓

If these edibles were given as a gift? Who would like it: Assad, Riley, and Hakeem. Keem, out of the three, would be trusted the most to help bake the brownies. (Never trust Assad with drugs, but also never trust Riley with the kitchen.) Who would prefer baking it: Keem (will bake with Sunshine) and Charlie (just hope it's not Assad's weed oil he's using...). Who wouldn't like it: Rosie. If Sunshine wanted to get high WITH her, she would accept them since she doesn't mind getting high with her friends/partners-- but the effects tend to make her a little nauseous ^^ But if Sunshine does it, like, for business-- she wouldn't care !!

IDK HOW TO TURN IT ON SOBS

[saintelilore]

Helllloooo Rosie and Dellya!

I’m visiting da city again!

This time I’ve got a prompt for the whole gang.

1) If you gave a truth serum to da gang, who would they avoid specifically? (In fear of blurting things out under its influence)

2) What if they were seated in a room and took the serum together. How many hearts will break that day?! /silly

LOVE LOVE LOVE Ashe💜

Hi Ashe !! 😋

Assad would avoid Riley. Both of them know what’s up. Admitting it, though? That’s just too pathetic for Assad. He’d have to face how much he wants a future with Riley, the fears he’s tryna bury, and the dark thoughts creepin’ in—like takin' out anyone who even tries to replace him. Charlie would avoid Assad, even though most would think he'd avoid Riley. Charlie's the type to bottle up his feelings, always putting others first, justifying their actions instead of recognizing just how deep they cut him. If he had the serum though? it’d be wild if he bumped into Assad 😭 lil carrot might get heated, not enough to throw hands, but after years of Assad’s mental abuse, everything would come crashin' down at once. Hakeem would stay away from the Chayys and Miguel (Nayah's brother). He’d avoid Rosie, obviously. The last thing he wants is letting his feelings slip and looking all soft in front of her. With Riley, it’s more like, "Man, I can’t even tell you how much I love your sister 'cause it’d straight up break this friendship." Then there’s Miguel, Nayah’s big bro. Keem ain’t tryna get his ass beat with some “I’m done smashin’ your sister” talk.

- Mod Dellya

Rosie would avoid Hakeem, she in no way wants to reveal her feelings to him in fear he’d turn her down. She’s positive he doesn’t see her as something more than a best friend. Other than that, Rosie has been rather honest to her friends, so there's not much she'd hide. Riley would avoid Assad and Charlie. He knows Assad knows about his feelings— but never to the full extent and he’s prefer to keep it that way. With Charlie, he knows he’s too clingy and always wondering how he thinks about him. While Riley’s opinion isn’t low of Charlie— he knows it’s not what the guy wants to hear.

- Mod Rosie

If they were all put in a room together? They'd all be fighting and arguing. Charlie would probably be laughin’ and cryin’ at the same time, while Keem’s babbling nonsense with Assad. Riley has to deal with Charlie being clingy while ALSO fighting with Assad-- and then Rosie would be crying over every lil detail Assad drops about what Keem does with rival gangs. 😋

Yeah they're childhood best friends. With a lot of unresolved tension.

[saintelilore]

Making this it's own post-- it's the sloppiest unreadable relationship chart I made a while ago, kinda old :p Ill remake it since we're planning to add more characters !!

- Mod Rosie

[saintelilore]

Hello to you both! So I've got a question, are {{user}} and Riley like kinda the same person?

If you're talking about Sunshine (mc/user) in Assad or Charlie's life as Assad's situationship and Charlie's crush-- canonically, that is Riley's role !! But just to allow people to be able to input themselves/ocs/sonas-- the role is up in the air when it comes to scenarios

deleted voicemails.

“Assad, where the fuck are you? Come on— answer the damn phone… I’m worried.”

“Babe you ever gonna answer me? You’re worryin’ me sick.”

Riley doesn’t send as many voicemails, since he knows Assad doesn’t wanna call unless it’s on his own terms.

Unsent texts.

“Dawg, y is it that when I wanna hang u nvr want to but I’m expected to when you do??”

“bby pls, just entertain me just this once.”

Hello helllo Dellya and Rosie!!

So, I have me some questions—

1) I know that Assad’s relationship with Charlie is rocky. Was there ever a situation where Assad has shown even a slight inclination towards protecting Charlie?

2) Reigniting the Hakeem x Rosie x Rodrigo debate, according to both of you which one of the boys is actually better for Rosie? (As in who has the scale tipping in, even minorly, in their favor? Who would Riley see as a good partner for Rosie out of the two?

3) Has Riley ever intentionally (out of selfishness) lead on our little carrot boi 🥺?

4) Also can I occasionally send prompts :0?

Like this one—

Assad x Riley, Deleted voicemails, unsent texts

( in my head “Do I wanna know” is a song that I associate with them hehe :3 )

That was all !!!

I’ll be back in town again!/silly

HI ASHEEE

Probably when they were both kids, Assad used to show a LITTLE bit of affection towards Charlie, but never in a protective way. Charlie’s Pokémon card is an example, it was seen as a gesture of affection to him, but Assad saw it as a way to mock him for his hair color. So, there was never a genuine protecting behavior unless Charlie's mother asked him to (like making sure he comes in one piece from a party, lmao) - mod Dellya

For me, I think Hakeem is actually the better option for Rosie. Hakeem is not bad genuinely. In the sense that his actions are not meant to hurt, he's very sincere and tries to put other people over him. On the other hand, even if Rodrigo was more passionate and explicit about loving Rosie, he would be very...abusive when it comes to her emotions. It's Canon that Rodrigo tried to push away Rosie from the gang just cause he didn't like them. He would isolate her eventually. - mod Dellya DON'T LISTEN TO HER SHES LYING (she's not </3) But yeah, while Rodrigo was Rosie's first and only boyfriend at the time-- she'd been pining for Hakeem since they were younger (give or take, about seven years). They have their own advantages; Hakeem being the one she longed for and Rodrigo being the one she was actually able to cherish even if it was for a short amount of time. But ultimately? Hakeem solos. - mod Rosie

Gulps... Riley never had the intention to use Charlie's feelings but has done it anyway a few times. I think at some point he realizes Charlie likes him and has tried to ignore it or tried putting him down gently, but it's clearly not enough 😭 Granted, Riley doesn't just sleep with Assad because he loves him nor does he sleep with Charlie cause he's 'second best'-- while Riley isn't that much of a sex maniac, he does hook up with people, not just them. So selfishness and pity kinda teeters on a scale back and forth. - mod Rosie

AND YES ABSOLUTELY !! We both would love to see whatever prompts you come up with 🩵Just let us know if you wanted smth for the one you gave as an example

Silly scenario: Charlie's first time meeting Riley many summers ago.

Ages for context: Charlie is 14, Assad, Keem, and Riley are 16.

The first time Charlie felt the warmth of summer wasn’t through his mom’s hesitant hand, trying to comfort him every time a kid teased him about his hair. It wasn’t in the resigned, almost disappointed look his dad gave him when Charlie said that being a lawyer didn’t really sound like his thing.

No… not even through Assad, who, by their mother’s orders, dragged him along to those small gatherings with aggressive men, where Charlie felt even smaller than usual. At fourteen, ‘little carrot’ could only lower his head and chuckle softly at every joke or exaggerated shove from his brother’s friends.

He was lost in doodles, scribbling in his journal, when the basement of their house got noisier than usual. His mom had sent him downstairs with a tray of lemonade, asking him to tell them to keep it down—though Charlie doubted they’d actually drink it.

His steps were hesitant, timid, almost scared, as he approached the sound of Assad’s booming laughter, joined by the soft shh of Hakeem’s giggles. Ah, Hakeem. The only one of Assad’s friends who didn’t find joy in teasing Charlie for his looks.

“Hey, lil’ carrot! Whatcha got there?” Of course, Hakeem was the first to notice him, a blunt dancing between his fingers as he got up from the couch, throwing an arm around Charlie’s shoulders and dragging him closer.

“This is Assad’s brother we’ve been talkin’ ‘bout. Bet this dumbass never even introduced you.” And that’s when Charlie met him. Maybe it’s an exaggeration, maybe he was just too used to being mocked, or maybe it was Assad’s piercing scowl that made it all fall into place.

“Hey, name’s Riley.”

Oh. That small smile tugging at Riley’s lips—that was all the attention he gave Charlie, but somehow it was enough. For the first time in that basement full of bad memories, Charlie felt his shoulders relax. The tray of lemonade was forgotten as his fingers nervously played with the hem of his video game t-shirt, a silent cry for help.

He had already forgotten why he’d even come down there. But when his gaze met Riley’s again, his brain short-circuited, lips moving soundlessly until he managed to blurt out a small, awkward question.

“Do you like lemonade?” His cheeks flushed a deep red, drawing confused stares before the room burst into laughter again.

“So, Ri, do you like lemonade?” Assad mocked, earning a few playful shoves from Hakeem, who tried to hush him.

Idiot, who asks something like that? Charlie pressed his lips together, ready to flee like always, until a voice cuts through his thoughts.

“I do. And you?” Oh. That’s when Charlie met the summer.

It was so warm, so comforting, that he didn’t see the storm loving Riley would bring.

[saintelilore]

Random asks, any of them are in school? Or planning to go? (Just wanted to ask something)

Only two of them attend college !! Rosie is in her second year as a marketing major while Charlie is an art history major in his third year.

Other than that, the other three didn't go to college. Hakeem and Riley couldn't since Keem was already paying for his siblings' education. Riley had the same reason, but also-- he never finished high school since he had to drop out to raise Rosie.

Assad? He finished high school but only because that was the condition his stepmom had if he wanted to continue living in her house. He had the opportunity to go to college but shoots it down just to go against his dad's wishes. IF the older three did go to college, Keem would major in something related to technology like programming or do something entirely different like gastronomies. Riley prooooobably would go to trade school, while Assad would study law like his dad.

[saintelilore]

Silly scenario: the Assad gang is throwing a party with the Ray brothers' parents out of town for the night and Riley's kickin' it back until he sees something unpleasant.

CW: mentions of drugs

When the Ray’s folks were gone for the night, a party was usually thrown downstairs in the basement of their big white house. It had all the room they needed, they being Assad’s gang, a decently sized lounging room to fit about twenty to thirty people– if no one minded getting cramped with their ass against someone else's crotch. Oh, Riley was certain no one would too, considering a few of their guests were already getting right into it, gyrating to the bumping bass and explicit music. But thankfully they had additional room with the backyard door wide open, leading out to the rather nice backyard where Keem handled the grill and Assad participated in beer pong or poker by the folded tables. Where the others were, hell, he was sure they were doing just fine amid the packed crowd. And Riley himself? He was lounging on the couch inside as the music pounds from his eardrums to the back of his skull, an arm draped along the back of the couch with his hips pushed out and toned thighs spread out, his tank top riding up to expose that lil happy trail of dark curls creeping down underneath. And of course, Riley Chayy wasn’t Riley without a blunt in hand. The weed he was smoking tonight was hitting. So, simply relaxing while everyone had their fair share of indulgences was just his cup of tea for tonight, taking a long drag and inhaling, feeling the high buzz through him just nice before he slowly blew it out. While his main excuse for smoking was to help with night terrors (and it did), he was fucking addicted to some extent. It made him feel more grounded, more at peace– instead of that antsy and angry kid he was back then when he was living with– woah, downer much, Ri? His eyes drag across the crowd lazily, barely lingering on the pretty girls dancing in barely anything and then to the hot guy by the bar with Assa– what? Suddenly his droopy eyes feel a bit too focused, his fingers flexing and clenching over his knee as he takes another drag of his blunt. Fuck. While it looked innocent as just chatting and having drinks, Riley wasn’t born yesterday.  He could see the ‘fuck me eyes’ and that devilish little smirk on those chapped lips.

Riley finally tears his eyes away after staring for a bit too long, suddenly feeling more interested in ‘people seeing’ once more. He didn’t wanna kill his mood, no– fuuuuck that. Riley hated buzzkills, so no way in hell was he gonna be one himself. He’d just need to find himself a distraction, a fucking remedy to cure him from whatever toxic push and pull that narcissistic brunette had on him. 

And it was easy enough to find himself some fun. 

Riley Chayy, the dreamboat of St. Eli (aside from his brother in Christ, Keem), had a knack for catching the eyes of most people. Handsome, charismatic, and a decent man, what wasn’t there to like about him? But the silent hype he gave himself made Riley roll his eyes as he took one last gander at the crowd before stopping on someone. And they were already looking his way, the man feeling their eyes dragging up his form. Then they’re leaning to their friend, with a cute smile on their face when his eyes meet theirs and Riley can’t help but quirk up his own. 

And like a bee to honey, they’re leaving their friend to make their way towards the couch. “Hey,” Riley greets as he gives them a once over. Bringing the blunt back to his lips, his eyes trail up once more as he continues, “Caught ya starin’, you weren’t feelin’ bad for lonely ol’ me, were you dollface?” His hand over the couch motions to the empty space beside him. “Got ya a seat right here if ya pity me, babe. Another one right here.” Then it flicks casually towards his lap.

finally.... i can ask to marry ryder on main.. 🫴💍

(eepy brain paraphrasing rn ->)

question doe...... i know in the relation ship chart nayah has complicated feelings for ryder at some point 🤔 would she interfere if ryder began to have feelings for some one else and how would she? (not mentioning what happened when she thought he had feelings towards rosie when he didnt 😭😭😭) Esp if ryder began to reciprocate too

dats all mwah mwah im super hyped to see more of dis blog from both of yallll

Just for clarification — this ask refers to the (very poorly written) relationship chart for the main gang and secondary characters !!

I’ll remake it whenever I have the chance - mod Rosie

The answer:

Considering her feelings for Ryder are all over the place, she probably wouldn’t even realize she’s messing with his relationship with someone else. She’d maybe start pointing out flaws in that person, almost coming off like a bully. Suddenly, she’d get more touchy with Ryder, like she’s tryna mark her territory, but of course, at the end of the day, she can’t really control what he’s gonna do.

- mod Dellya

Minor lore spoilers:

if this happens after Ryder's hospitalization, she probably would be more understanding. but if this happens before, she would be more intense.

can i marry riley?

“Awww, you’re so cute dollface… I’ll consider it.”

Riley knows your joking, but realistically, he’s got no time to think of the future. Settling down is his last priority— maybe not even on the list at all. Hell, even a stable relationship is too much for him to even consider.

At the moment 💚
