RE  :   PEHTERS !

                HER ANSWER ONLY left so many other questions kicking around in his head. “So I’m allowed to ask you why you’re at a rock show, right? ‘Cuz we are a rock band, last time I checked,” Reggie asked, though his grin was wide, guileless…. absolutely way too amused and charmed by everything Aimee was saying. — The accent didn’t hurt, either. He settled himself at the bar like she had, a step or two away from her because he wasn’t a creep, but close enough that he wouldn’t have to yell over the music that was starting from the heavy speakers, either. He was finding that happy medium of being closer enough to speak without being so close that he gave off murder-you-and-wear-your-skin vibes, or so he hoped. “Yeah, my mom isn’t that hot on this stuff, either,” he admitted. “But Guns N’ Roses are like royalty. McKagan’s  bass slaps! Way harder than anything I could do up there, I swear! I bet if you took like a minute or two to figure it out, you’d be playing and jumping so good that Luke would be like sorry Reg, we gotta replace you, now go kick rocks.” He was joking, mostly because he wanted to watch her smile again, but he figured someone who had the guts to tell a dude in a band to his face that they didn’t even like the music he was playing onstage probably also had the guts to do pretty much anything that she wanted to do. She did look like the kind of girl who would change the world one day. “Anyway, don’t tell me you came all the way from wherever in the world you’re from just to see a show you didn’t end up digging.” 

     ❛   well ,  i just broke up with my  dick  of a boyfriend ,  so my friends thought i should get out a bit !     celebrate !  ❜            and  aimee  will  use  any  excuse  in  the  world  to  celebrate    ;    even  if  a  barside  rock  n’  roll  nightfest  isn’t  at  the  top  of  her  list.      if  reggie  couldn’t  already  tell  by  her  sunshine-y  delivery,   she  is  more  than  happy  to  be  rid  of  adam.         and  subtly  mentioning  that  in  a  way  that  answered  his  question  was  the  perfect  way  to  mention  that  she  was  single  and   currently  trying  to  mingle   with  him.         he’s   definitely   trying  too  hard  to  flatter  her  though,   saying  things  that  made  zero  sense  like  she  would  be  a  better  bassist  than  him.         still,   that’s  not  to  say  it  isn’t  working  like  a  damn   CHARM.      reggie’s  little  smile  and  the  quirk  of  his  brows  go  perfectly  with  the  way  he’s  trying  to  appeal.         it  doesn’t  even  matter  that  his  competition  isn’t  much  competition  at  all    ;    it’s  only  been  five  minutes  and  aimee  can  already  tell  that  he’s  a  sweetheart.       and  she  isn’t  used  to  that,    the  way  he  gives  her  space  and  asks   actual   questions.       it’s  nice.      it’s  appreciated.           ❛   but  even  if  i  didn’t  necessarily  dig  the  music,   that  doesn’t  mean  i  didn’t  like  the  show  !      you’d  have  to  keep  on  giving  me  recommendations  for  good  rock  music,  though.        i  really  don’t  know  that  much  about  music  at   ALL  ‘side  from  the  fact  that  the  stuff  on  the  main  radios  will  do  in  a  pinch.         i  tried  to  play  the  recorder  in  school  ‘cause  of  some  weird   music  class  cult  curriculum   the  headmaster  introduced,   but  my  teacher  took  it  away  ‘cause  i  nearly  blew  out  her  ears  tryin’  to  play  hot  cross  buns.  ❜

RE  :   MERMADE !

       ❛ wait, what? ❜ if she’s being honest, there’s a split second of panic at the question, aimee’s whisper sounding far too i know a secret for bell’s liking — but it subsides fairly quickly as she continues speaking, and her fear is quickly replaced with a relief and a fondness for her friend. she smiles brightly at the other girl, biting down on her lip to stamp down a laugh. misguided as it is, the concern is sweet, and she doesn’t want to make her feel bad. ❛ aimee, it’s not real. ❜ well, it is, but she doesn’t need to know that. it doesn’t hurt, though, and while she can’t directly tell her that, hopefully she can ease her concern anyway. ❛ it’s just a costume, the tail’s made of silicone. i mean, it’s kinda a pain to take on and off, especially when it’s wet, but it doesn’t hurt. ❜ 

       ❛   does that mean you had to have tail fittings ?     like when you’re tryna get a homecoming dress at  1- 3 -5  but your waists a bit too big ?  ❜            aimee’s  head  tilts,    seemingly  weighed  down  by  the  new,  groundbreaking  information  she’s  been  given.       any  concern  she  harbored  is  now  gone,   replaced  with  awe  at  the  fact  that  they  apparently  just    MAKE    mermaid  tails  for  people  to  wear.         the  pool  she  has  back  at  her  place  suddenly  seems  so  underused.      she  steps  back  only  to  suck  in  her  stomach,   hands  coming  to  her  hips  as  she  does  a  little  turn  to  the  side,   showing  off.         ❛   does  that  mean  if  i  wanted,    i  could  go  and  get  a  fish  tail  ?     ‘cause  if  they’re  like,   exclusive  or  something  i  could  go  and  do  a  swim  test  to  prove  myself.        i  learned  how  to  jump  in  without  holding  my  nose  last  summer  !    ❜

AIMEE LOU WOOD AS AIMEE GIBBS IN SEX EDUCATION.

[stupidbus]

no offense but i am forever in awe of aimee.  the girl is treated like dirt by almost everyone.  she’s taken advantage of again and again.  she has self - esteem issues that present not in “i am uncomfortable with my appearance  /  personality”,  but rather “i believe i am only good for my looks / helping or appeasing others.”   and despite this,  she is still just so genuinely kind. 

and not because she feels she needs to be, but because she just is.  she is an optimistic person.  she wants to see the best in everyone.  she downplays her own sexual assault because she has to be there for people in case they need her,  not the other way around.  she downplays it because it wasn’t the textbook definition of assault and she doesn’t want to overreact.  and as she works through her trauma and her feelings and her anger,  she still manages to retain this positivity and kindness.  and she is so fucking strong for that!!!!!!!!! she is a beautifully brave and resilient character

RAIN SAID:    parties aren’t really my thing .   /      [  SELECTIVELY ACCEPTING.  ]        @acescaped​

  ❛   maybe you’ve just never been to a good one !   ❜         that  absolutely  had  to  be  the  case.      even  if  you’re  a  loner  -   weirdo  kid  who  sits  off  to  the  side  in  the  caf  at  lunch,    there’s  something  for  you  at  a  party.       and  aimee  is  a  strict  believer  that  anyone  who  says  otherwise,   even  if  they  would  rather  sit  at  home  and  read  a  book  which  is  totally  okay,  is  just   . . .   a  total  downer  !      if  you  go  in  with  a  negative  attitude,    you’re  going  to  have  a  negative  experience    ;    there’s  no  way  around  that.     

     aimee  gives  a  playful  shake  of  her  head  at  the  other  girl’s  words,    happy  to  finally  be  in  the  position  to  impart  some  wisdom  for  once.       it’s  not  often  she  finds  herself  in  such  a  place.     

   ���    —   i’m  throwing  one  this  weekend  since  my  parents  are  out  of  town.      it’s  also  to  kind  of  celebrate  breaking  up  with  my  boyfriend,   but  mostly  the  first  thing  !   ❜         she  smiles  as  she  takes  out  her  phone  and  types  out  her  address,    poised  to  send  it  should  she  be  given  a  green  light.      maybe  even  a  yellow.      ❛   yes,   there’ll  be  some  booze  -  hounds  and  potheas,   but  also  some  really  fun  people  !      maybe  you’ll  make  a  friend  !   ❜

COURTNEY SAID:    it’s not a party without a little drama,  am i right ?    /      [  SELECTIVELY ACCEPTING.  ]        @jwbrks​

   ❛   you mean you don’t feel bad for them at all ?     i kinda thought they were cute together ,  ❜         she’s  almost  pouting,    though  it  may  be  more  because  her  drink  is  running  empty  than  the  fact  that  they’d  just  been  front  row  to  a  very  public  breakup.      everything  is  reminding  her  of  adam  these  days.         not  in  a  romantic  way,   but  in  an     OH GOD,   I THINK I REALLY WANT TO BREAK IT OFF    kind  of  way.       underneath  all  those  saccharine  layers,    all  those  designer  pink  clothes  and  top  brand  makeup,   is  a  heart  that  beats  every  day  in  hope  that  it’ll  someday  get  to  make  a  big  scene  like  that.      aimee  doesn’t  want  to  be  the  center  of  attention  or  anything,   but  she  does  want  to   . . .   well,   prove  something  to  herself,   she  guesses.       

     ugh,   half  buzzed  at  a  party  was   NOT   the  right  time  to  get  all  introspective  and  shit.       aimee  bumps  shoulders  with  courtney,   still  huddled  close  to  her  from  when  they  were  watching  the  yelling  match  go  down,   and  dumbly  lifts  her  empty  cup  to  take  a  sip.      when  she  realizes  for  a  second  time  running  that  there’s    nothing    in  her  cup,   she  tsks.      

   ❛    —   i  think  she  had  the  right  idea  running  off  to  the  kitchen,   though.     come  with  me  to  get  a  refill  ?      pretty  please  ?   ❜

BELL SAID:   want to go somewhere quiet ?    /      [  ACCEPTING.  ]        @mermade​

  ❛   um ,  do you think we could ?      i don’t know why they had to play  this  song ,  ❜         it’s  a  very  unique  kind  of  grief  she  finds  herself  wading  through.      as  sunset  curve’s    LATE  LAST  NIGHT    blares  from  the  house  party’s  speakers,    aimee  barely  notices  her  drink  sloshing  in    shaking    hands  before  bell  takes  her  arm  and  says  something.         aimee  clings  to  her  because  she  understands     ;     because  she’s  the  only  other  person  in  here  that  could.        the  boys    (   sans  bobby,   )    have  been  gone  for  a  few  months  now,  but   . . .   it’s  not  like  she  prepared  for  this  when  she  came  out  to  try  and  dance  the  hurt  of  it  all  away.      if  anything,   she  wishes  this  drink  was  a  tad  stronger.       or  that  she  was  at  home,    curled  up  on  the  couch  with  a  box  of  twinkies.       it  was  still  healthy  to  grieve    real     hard  once  and  awhile,   right  ?    

     aimee  leaves  her  cup  on  a  corner  table,   not  intending  to  come  back  for  it,   and  walks  along  with  bell.       everything’ll  be  fine  in  a  few  minutes,    she  tells  herself,    nuzzling  her  cheek  against  bell’s  shoulder.      tears  begin  to  prick  at  her  when  the  song’s   backing  vocals   jump  in,    and  that’s  when  aimee  picks  up  the  pace  to  drag  them  into  a  random  bedroom  and  shut  the  door  tight.      

    the  song  is  muffled  through  the  other  end.       most  things  are,    until  she  lowers  her  free  hand  from  her  ear.       

   ❛    —   well  . . .   seems  like  our  luck,  huh  ?      ‘least  that  means  they  got  a  demo  track  sold  . . .  ❜         the  victory,   if  you  can  call  it  that,   is  so  hollow.       aimee  finds  that  after  that,   she  doesn’t  quite  know  what  to  say.      her  arms  cross,   her  head  tilts  back,   and  she  stairs  at  the  ceiling   ;   she  waits.      ❛   i  forget.      is  this  one  of  the  long  ones  or  one  of  the  short  ones  ?  ❜

RO SAID:   maybe i should have stayed home .    /      [  ACCEPTING.  ]        @blueras​

   ❛   oh no ,  babes ,    are you not having a good time ?   ❜         ro’s  admission  stops  aimee  dead  in  her  tracks,   the  shots  she’s  carrying  sloshing  a  tad  over  their  rims  as  she  momentarily  forgets  them.      if  there’s  one  thing  she  takes  great  pride  in,    it’s  her  parties  !         she   LOVES   hosting    ;    even  if  the  house  always  gets  wrecked.       and  her  mother  always  scolds  her.       and  she  ends  up  having  more  heart  murmurs  than  she  does  good  times.      even  if  it  isn’t  necessarily  fun  for   HER,   it’s  fun  for  her  friends  !      and  at  the  end  of  the  night  when  her  mom’s  favorite  vase  is  broken  and  there’s  random  stains  that  may  or  may  not  be  vomit  on  her  couch,     that’s  what  matters.    

     so  to  hear  that  someone   ISN’T   having  fun  ?       that’s  like  . . .   well,  she  may  as  well  just  shove  her  head  in  the  oven  or  something.      aimee  sighs,    shifting  the  tray  of  drinks  to  one  arm  as  her  other  comes  to  rest  around  ro’s  shoulders.     she  foregoes  her  dramatics  to  give  the  other  girl  a  little  squeeze.       .    

    ❛    —   is  it  one  of  the  football  players  ?       did  they  take  a  piss  in  my  mum’s  potted  palms  again  ?        i  get  it,    that  would  totally  kill  my  mood  too.  ❜         she  scoots  them  out  of  the  way  of  a  cluster  of  people  standing  in  the  kitchen  doorway.       in  an  impressive  feat,    aimee  manages  to  set  the  shots  down  all  while  keeping  one  arm  around  ro.      in  heels.      ❛   here,   now  that  that’s  done,   why  don’t  we  go  get  you  something  i  know  for  sure  isn’t  spiked  ?       or  maybe  you   WANT   something  spiked,    we  can  do  that  too  !  ❜

aimee is a potential breakup song (explicit) supremacist 

[stupidbus]

was just talking to zo and ellie about this but while aimee’s masturbation scene is absolutely hilarious, it’s also extremely IMPORTANT!!!  the  ‘but i finally know what i want”  part of her speech? after she tells otis no one has ever ASKED her what she wants? that means she’s realized she doesn’t need a boyfriend. she doesn’t need anyone but herself. i love her so much
