#(guess what I'll probably be doing tomorrow)

[overnightheartbeats]

"You won't disappoint, I've only heard good things since I've arrived." Why was she reassuring him? Ivette didn't really know. Maybe because he sounded so passionate about his work here, or because she still couldn't stand to hear his disappointment. "Everyone looked elated last night, so I'm inclined to believe everyone is family here." Ivette's gaze cast down at the mention of, back then. Such a big part of their lives, and yet one they couldn't bring themselves to talk about. Even now, Ivette wasn't sure she was ready to start. "Fair, early birds and night owls rarely mesh well. Yeah, I wasn't sure whether it was the right path. I love it though, the hospital is chaos personified, but it's very fulfilling work. I've heard some of the funniest things from some patients too, so it kind of adds up. The fact that you're so worried about it already is a good sign. You'll do great."

The new age was already promising enough, and though she didn't say it out loud, it was comforting that she wouldn't have to run into his mother. He was probably aware of some of the things that were said about his mother, but she couldn't bring herself to contribute to that. "God no, second hangover sounds like nightmare fuel, but agreed. I've had my fair share of tough mornings. Seems like I've been missing this elixir to survive." Though, the jury was still out on whether it would work.

"Okay, yes exactly that! Not trustworthy at all if they don't like salsa verde, hm. Good thing we're on the same side about this." If she was counting the things they had in common, this one would make the list. It was small, but amusing nonetheless. "Oh, I see. All inclusive campus then." She should've guessed, what boarding school didn't have all services included? "That's so interesting though, the place really prepared you in all ways. Sounds like you enjoyed that class a lot, you a secret chef or something?"

"I'll have it tomorrow," Ivette assured him as he turned his back to her to tend to the stove. "Well, some rush. There is a lot to do, and I'm only here for the month. I'll definitely tap you for help, after all, this is your vision." She was just asked to help, but Ivette was very conscious that her stay here was temporary. She'd need to get back to her life soon enough. Her eyes were drawn to the plate before her, it looked and smelled amazing. Damn that boarding school. "You say that, but next thing you know I'm lost in the fields and camping out there because I couldn't find my way back. So, the tour would be greatly appreciated. You're eating too, right? Not leaving me here hanging? Which, I'm sorry. I'll cover the next meal. I totally said I'd help and just talked the entire time." Taking the fork, she took the first bite and felt herself brought back to life. "Not that I doubted your culinary skills, but this is so good."

"I've only just started. If I mess up then I'll have myself to disappoint instead of a whole establishment. We're the new when you're here you're family motto." Nate laughed at his own lame joke. "Here I'm saying the same thing about yours. Do you like it? I know you were going back and forth....back then." He had to be careful how he'd broach the subject given the fact that their lives had been so intertwined. "I hope so. The new age has come and I hope everyone can breathe a little easier."

He was no stranger to the whispers of how everyone called his mother the wicked witch of the island. Though he hoped that people could see him as a separate entity to his mother. "It happens. Though I've also had my tough mornings where I'm hungover with a second hangover. This will help. Just don't think on the flavor too much."

He pointed at her and smiled. "That is the only correct answer. I don't trust people who don't like salsa verde." The answer to that would sound ridiculous but still he'd be honest. "School. We had a cooking class on campus where we'd all take up a country's best foods and make something. I made a lot of new foods there that I'd never be able to make if I didn't have that class."

"Take all the time you need," he smiled and got up to tend to the food on the stove. "There is no rush. I promise. If I can help in any other way let me know." Putting the food on a plate he brought it over to her and set it down. "No, I don't think you'd be that lost but just for good measure I'll take you on a tour after food is in your system. Come on, eat up."

sharing random details because why not

If you visited my wiki (which is still WIP and i'm kinda sick and busy to update it rn so pls be patient) you've probably seen this on Abe's page

Well you should know that Abe's obsession with living up to his clonefather's name is my roman empire and I just LOVE that, because Abe chose a great role model :) This is why I wanted to bring up this topic way more often in my comic, because this is pure angst material (and also extremely relatable).

SOOOOO about that so-called debate contest...

Of course Abe lacks charisma and attractiveness so nobody listens to him. YES, I MADE ELECTION BLU-GALOO BUT MORE DRAMATIC BECAUSE..... BECAUSE WE LOVE ANGST 😋😋😋 IT'S ENTERTAINING

ALSOOOO not only do other clones not care about Abe, but the shadowy guys as well (which is not surprising cus they don't give a shit about anyone in this place). They literally don't treat him like a human just because he is not as great as the Abraham Lincoln himself. They wanted to raise him to be a leader but they gave him anxiety, low self-esteem and a strange obsession :(

So yeah after some failures he tends to spend a couple of days in his room, crying to his Lincoln posters (fun fact some of them are ai generated) and literally talking to them because..... coping mechanism? 🤷‍♂️

I tried my best to add something but this sketch comic thing basically explains everything so okayyyyyy you got my point :з

I'm thinking about his character development in the comic, I want him to start loving himself, be able to defend himself and just FIND HIMSELF. Because OKAY you can't be THE EXACT clone of your clonefather, it's not the 19th century, but you're still a human, right?? So just be a good human!! :) You're already on the right path since you began to fight for your friends' well-being.

Omg wait i'm already talking to him in second person OKAY YOU GOT ME PLEASE READ EXCLAMATION!2080 THE THIRD PART IS IN PROGRESS BLAH BLAH BLAH BYEEEEE

Getting into the "what if it never gets better" trap

[platonic-qpr-selfshipping]

I'm having one of those "I wish I could just be part of the Astral Express crew" moments

[i-am-a-living-god]

well I can't fall asleep, and I'm loosing my mind. Cause it's half past 3 and my brains on fire. Well I've been counting sheep but the sheep all died, and I'm trying to hard but I can't not try.

[nootdraws]

I've already settled on which poses I'm using for each of the drawings, but I figured I'd post the first-draft concepts I did while trying to come up with ideas, seeing as I quite liked some of them even though I didn't take them forward.

Incase anyone is curious, this is a redraw/revamp of an older set of drawings I did of the bad kids (+aelwyn) with various pride flags for the genders and sexualities I headcanon them as having :-)

[running-in-the-dark]

thought it'd be a good idea to watch an episode of Night Court while falling asleep (just one!!)

yeah no it's been 5 minutes and Dan is on his knees, begging. nope not a good idea!

[evil-ontheinside]

Sometimes i think I have a pretty good grasp on time and how I spend it and then I play video games and remember that I really don't know anything

[britneyshakespeare]

why does scheduling my work days give me so much stress and anxiety

[cubot]

Leaving a little past two because I decided to just do all my laundry, but... I don't want to go.

I am obviously suffering, but I feel like when I get there, I will be perfectly fine and I am just a liar and an exaggerator and evil and wasting people's time. But I am suffering. So I should go.
