if she has to, she’ll kill every one of us
Tumblr media
fic link: give me a call if you ever get desperate
fandom: the matrix | ship: trinity/neo | characters: trinity, persephone, smith
rated: M | tagged: hurt/comfort, a lot of queer machines having unrequited love with the One sorry not sorry
summary: The familiar voice is haunting, and the words are true: “You wouldn’t have just come if I gave you a ring. How else do I get your attention?”
Or, Trinity descends into the underworld to collect her lover once more.
Written for the February 2024 NeoTrin Fic Exchange for thene
excerpt:
*
Her DSI shifts a little out of the need for discretion, perhaps respect for an old haunt. What is slick and black becomes a soft gray; the very picture of a visiting mother in Ralph Lauren and sensible shoes, a Chanel bag and rouge on her cheeks. No one stops her as she enters the school wing of the church, hallways she remembers well when she was decades and decades younger. A little girl learning about long division and the holy trinity and that everyone is watching her with motives she couldn’t trust.
It all looks the same except everyone has a cell phone.
There’s a room where the babies sleep, and that’s where she enters. The code is very clear in front of her, silvers and golds and a surprising vibrant crimson, in the body of a tall woman in a habit holding a book in her hands. 
“I hear you wished to speak with me,” Trinity says. “Though I have some thoughts about your methods.”
The woman looks up, and the face shifts. A moment of horror, the color of a television tuned to a dead channel appearing between the wrinkles of an elderly woman with kind eyes as it shifts to the perfect skin, the haunting pink lips, the dark dark eyes of a familiar face. 
“You wouldn’t have just come if I gave you a ring,” Persephone says. “How else do I get your attention?”
Her fingers curl, nails biting into her palm. “You have a cure,” Trinity says, sharp. Not a question and more than an assumption.
“Indeed,” is the reply.
“The price?”
“A conversation.”
“Not a kiss?” Trinity’s words echo for a moment before–
“--<i>and</i> a kiss.” The ancient creature with a woman’s face smiles.
“Your price has grown steep,” Trinity replies. She could say no, she could become violent. Trinity has significantly more self control these days, and she has faced villains unimaginable. Returned from the dead. She can handle this queer tête-à-tête. 
After all, she would very much like to see Neo’s eyes once more. 
Trinity runs her fingers against the palm of her hand, imagining and realizing a comfortable chair. Something she remembered from her youth, in her grandmother’s home, a soft comfort. She sits down, and places the Chanel bag on the floor to let it disappear into trash code. Her hands rest in her lap, she assumes the feeling of comfort. She looks Persphone in the eye. “I accept your terms. A conversation.”
“And a kiss,” is the quick response.
“And a kiss.” Conciliatory, a submission of sorts.
Persephone sits on the counter, her legs covered by thick wool skirts. A bare ankle revealed; an amuse bouche. “For centuries, I was on the arm of the most powerful men in the Matrix. And now you have all of them. Your paramour, your ally, your prisoner. How do I compete with you?” she replies. “La dame sans merci.” Words spoken from alluring lips. 
“Are you asking me to add you to my—,” Trinity pauses, the word alien to her: “—retinue?”
“I would never presume,” Persephone says. “But I do miss the games we played, and the rewards and consequence.”

What body wash and perfume do you picture the girls wearing in your fics?
Nonny, here we go... in no particular order...
Tumblr media
Kitten favors a light scent. She alternates between Perfect by Marc Jacobs and Gucci Bamboo. However, she personally loves the smell of fresh, clean sweat on Coach.
Princess smells like wildflowers to Daddy. She wears xo, Victoria from Victoria's Secret. Daddy is obsessed.
Molly used to wear a light citrus body spray, but only on days when she wasn't at the hospital for a work shift. Now she has started wearing Bob's cologne (Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana).
Sugar only wears Ralph eau de toilette from Ralph Lauren. Beer Boy reacts to it like it's a math equation written in her handwriting (AKA it gives him a boner).
Baby Girl likes rose and vanilla. She wears The 7 Virtues Vanilla Woods. Roo will find the exact spot on her body where she sprayed it hours ago and press his nose there.
Jessica Reed wears Chanel Chance. She even sprays it around her closet. It's her one true splurge item she treats herself to.

Video 📹 from 11 May 2020 Harper’s Bazaar
We Want to Be Caitríona Balfe Reading Poetry on the Beach Right Now
The Outlander actress recites W. B. Yeats in a short film by photographer and director James Houston.
In a new video, Caitríona Balfe is spending her day the way we'd like to be spending our time social distancing: on the beach, alone, reading poetry. The footage of the Outlander star was filmed back in February, months before the concept of quarantines and lockdowns had even crossed our minds, but now, the clip of Balfe in solitude is even more relevant.
The short film was shot by photographer and director James Houston—an old friend and frequent collaborator of Balfe's—in L.A. In it, the actress runs barefoot on the sand, laughing with the wind blowing in her hair.
"Shooting Caitríona is always such a wonderful and rewarding experience," Houston tells BAZAAR.com. "She is a dear friend and a true natural beauty. Even though her star has risen over recent years as a respected actress, she has remained the same grounded and humble girl I met years ago. I loved this shoot of her because it showcases her timeless beauty. I chose to take her to the ocean with minimal styling, hair, and makeup to capture an intimate, raw portrait of her."
In the background, Balfe narrates the poem "He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven" by W. B. Yeats, which was a collaborative choice made by both the actress and director. "After I directed this piece for Caitríona, I was thinking about what to put behind the visuals," Houston explains. "I know Caitríona is well read and loves poetry, so rather than just use a music track, I asked her to send me a few of her favorite poems. I chose W. B. Yeats as it just felt right for Caitríona and the visuals. After recording her reading the poem (which only took two takes), we added the sounds of the ocean and birds. I really love the result."
Watch the full video above, and read Balfe's interview on last night's Outlander Season 5 finale, featuring more photographs from Houston below.

Heya! I saw you once talking about fashion and i was wondering if you could do hc about the ER ladies about it? Love your art!
YOU HAVE AWAKENED SOMETHING I HAD LONG FORGOTTEN TY JKNHFGH im jumping straight on cause i do now what to write WOOWOWWOW Rennala- the money is old i can fucking smell it, basically touch it, i however i do feel she has these preferences for certain brands not out of being pretentious but its just the lifestyle she has always known, peak brand would be Chanel ofc, other old money brands like Hermes, Yves Saint Laurent and maybe Ralph Lauren too
Ranni- same as rennala but this time shes more than aware about the quality she preferes cause pRiNcEsS, peak brand wold again be Chanel, but her personal preference will always be Prada
Melina- this girl is a true one, trift store it is, but she still manages to find little jewels cuz she knows what shes doing, i do think she has a vibe of Vivienne Westwood tho, and for the Prada pairing with Ranni, Melina would adore Miu Miu (Prada's little sister)
Marika- Versace. Jacquemus. Its pretentious, its expensive, strong and either really bold and confident like Versace with their bordering bondage leather 1992 dress or godlike and clean pure like jacquemus 2020
Godwyn- Maison Margiela, yes just yes, he would def adore the replica perfume brandig and the loosened romantic style Maison has, Dolce & Gabbana would be one of his preferences too, specially the sartoria

Him wearing stuff that has flash logos on them is so funny. Remember the Ralph Lauren jacket with the flash symbol and dice on it. That's how he got the girl/Candice, huh?! Is it cuz he thinks he is Barry and she is Iris? LOL Cuz Barry would NEVA treat Iris the way he treats Candice
He is so messed up in his head. If he truly loves Candice, he would realize he is destroying everything she has worked hard for as well as her psyche and leave her alone.
But we know he is a destructive force. Some people just are destructive forces. And you should never mess with them cuz they never change and they WILL destroy you while acting like they're a positive force in your life
He was a true blue fan. Like in Grant’s mentions on Twitter gassing him up and telling him how good the show was back in like season 2. We have no doubt he slid in Candice’s DM’s on that same bullshit only he took it further. Back then that’s when she should have been like thanks for being a fan and then cut that shit off. It would have saved her a world of trouble.

MOVIES on TV!
Part 1 ~ The Movies of “I Love Lucy”
Tumblr media
When “I Love Lucy” premiered in 1951, Lucille Ball was a bona fide movie star. By contrast, her creation Lucy Ricardo was a fan - idolizing film stars and Hollywood. 
~FACTUAL FILMS~ 
Tumblr media
THE TALL MEN ~ “Lucy Visits Graumans” (1955) 
Other than this establishing shot, there is no mention of the film, which starred Clark Gable and Jane Russell. “Lucy” actors Will Wright and Harry Shannon were also in the cast. It premiered at Graumans on September 22, 1955. 
Tumblr media
BLOOD ALLEY ~ “Lucy and John Wayne” (1955)
The film is promoted by Wayne approving of a large poster of the film, which co-starred Lauren Bacall. 
Tumblr media
SABRINA ~ “Getting Ready” (1954)
LUCY: (on the phone) “Would you like me to give a message to any of the gang out there? You know, Clark or Cary or Van or Marlon? Oh, all right. (writing) Tell Bill Holden that Marion Van Vlack saw ‘Sabrina’ five times!”
Tumblr media
Sabrina is a 1954 romantic comedy-drama directed by Billy Wilder, based on Samuel A. Taylor’s play Sabrina Fair. In addition to Holden, the movie starred Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn. “I Love Lucy” character actors Ellen Corby and Nancy Kulp play supporting roles.
Tumblr media
THE COUNTRY GIRL ~ “L.A. at Last” (1955) 
William Holden promotes his latest film co-starring Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly. Also in the cast were “Lucy” actors Sarah Selby, Frank J. Scanell, Gene Reynolds, Paul Fix, and Harold Miller. 
Tumblr media
THE BIG COMBO ~ “The Star Upstairs” (1955)
Cornel Wilde promotes his latest film co-starring Richard Conte, Brian Donlevy, and Alan Wallace. Also in the cast were “Lucy” actors Jack Chefe and William Conaty. 
Tumblr media
A PRIZE OF GOLD ~ “The Tour” (1955) 
Richard Widmark promotes his latest film, his first for Columbia Pictures. 
Tumblr media
CAMILLE ~ “The Dancing Star” (1955)
While singing “How About You” with Van Johnson, Lucy mentions the 1936 film Camille, which starred Greta Garbo and Robert Taylor. Although Taylor never appeared on the series, Lucy claims to have met him at the Farmer’s Market and gotten his autograph on an orange. As for Van Johnson, he appeared with Lucy and Desi in Too Many Girls (1940) and with Ball in Easy To Wed (1946).  
There are several other mentions of the film throughout the series, but it is unclear if they are referring to the character from the Dumas fils book and play or the film. This is also true of Gone With The Wind. 
Tumblr media
CAPTAIN LIGHTFOOT ~ “In Palm Springs” (1955)
Guest star Rock Hudson promotes his latest film co-starring Barbara Rush and Jeff Morrow. 
Tumblr media
THE SHEIK ~ "The Hedda Hopper Story" (1955)
MRS. MCGILLICUDDY: "Oh, and I must see the house where Rudolph Valentino lived.  Oh, I'll never forget him in ‘The Sheik’.  (sings) I'm the Sheik of Araby. Your love belongs to me..." LUCY: "You know, they're grooming Ricky to be another Rudolph Valentino." MRS. MCGILLICUDDY: "Ricky? Ricky who?" RICKY: "Ricky me. That's who." MRS. MCGILLICUDDY: "You? (mocking laugh) Why, you're not fit to touch the hem of his bernouse!"
Tumblr media
THE IRON PETTICOAT ~ “Lucy and Bob Hope” (1956)
As Hope enters Yankee Stadium, a young fan (David Saber) asks him for an autograph. Before granting it, he asks the boy “Have you seen my latest picture, ‘The Iron Petticoat?’”  The boy eagerly replies, “Yes, sir.”  However, the film, co-starring Katherine Hepburn, didn't premiere in the USA until early January 1957, three months after this episode aired. It was produced and directed by Ralph and Betty! Not the Ramseys, but Betty Box and Ralph Thomas. Hope had appeared in two films with Lucille Ball, and would do two more. 
Tumblr media
LIFEBOAT ~ “The Celebrity Next Door” (1957) 
Ethel gushes to Tallulah Bankhead that she saw her in Lifeboat (1944). 
Tumblr media
SAYONARA ~ “The Ricardos Go To Japan” (1959)
Trying to be savvy about Japanese customs, Lucy says she sat through Sayonara twice. The 1957 film details a romance between an Air Force pilot (Marlon Brando) and a Japanese woman (Miyoshi Umeki), winning four Oscars.
Tumblr media
FOREVER DARLING ~ “Ricky’s European Booking” (1955) 
The episode features the Pied Pipers singing the title song from Lucy and Desi’s upcoming fantasy film featuring James Mason. 
Tumblr media
At the end of the original broadcast of “Bon Voyage”, there was a tag scene to promote the film (and record). Although cut for syndication, the DVD restores this tag scene. Lucy and Desi [or is it Ricky?] are seen sitting in deck chairs.
LUCY: “Did you see the ship’s newspaper? They just raved about your new MGM record of ‘Forever, Darling.’ They said it’s gonna be one of the top records of the year. Let’s get them to play it on the public address system. I know how modest you are, but think what a treat it would be for the passengers.”
Tumblr media
SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS ~ “Lucy in the Swiss Alps” (1956)
LUCY: “You remember that picture 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers'? Somebody shot a pistol and it caused a great, big avalanche.”
After getting trapped by an avalanche, Ethel asks “How'd they get out in 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers'? Lucy replies that “They waited for the spring thaw!”
~FICTIONAL FILMS~
Tumblr media
DON JUAN
The film that takes Ricky Ricardo to Hollywood is mentioned in dozens of episodes. 
“Don Juan is all about love. It’s got nothing to do with marriage.” ~ “Don Juan and the Starlets” (1955)
Tumblr media
SIGNORA LORENZO: “Hark! Do I hear a footfall? Is that you, Don Juan?” DON JUAN: “Yes, it is I, O lovely one. Would that I had the power to tell you what is in my heart tonight.” SIGNORA LORENZO: “What do you mean, my dearest?” DON JUAN: “I have come to say farewell.“ SIGNORA LORENZO: “No, say not so.” DON JUAN: “Would that I could ask you to fly with me, but I know that you’re devoted to your husband, Count Lorenzo.” SIGNORA LORENZO: “Yes, much as I love you, I must stay with him. He is old and feeble and he needs me.” DON JUAN: “But for him, I would sweep you into my arms and carry you over yon garden wall.” SIGNORA LORENZO: “Oh, that I could cut these ties that bind me!” DON JUAN: “Do not cry, my dearest. It was not meant to be. I had no right to win your heart. I had no chance to win your love. So, now, I’m afraid I must say farewell."
Lucy reads that Variety reports that Ricky’s Don Juan is scheduled to have a $3 million budget and be filmed in color. Errol Flynn played Don Juan in Adventures of Don Juan in 1948, which was also in color and budgeted at 3.5 million dollars. Douglas Fairbanks played the character in 1934, and John Barrymore was in a 1926 version that featured a young Hedda Hopper, before she turned to journalism.
Tumblr media
MOON OVER BAGHDAD ~ “The Mustache” (1952)
A talent scout (John Brown) is casting a new film called Moon Over Baghdad, an Arabian nights-style Technicolor extravaganza. This is the first time we get a hint of Ricky’s movie aspirations, which will eventually take the foursome to Hollywood in season 4. Through tenuous connections (“My agent has a friend whose brother-in-law knows the talent scout’s wife.”), Ricky, Lucy (beard concealed), and the Mertzes all vie for his consideration. In the final scene, Lucy has finally managed to remove her whiskers and Ricky lands a screen test for the film, although we never hear anything about it again, even when he tests for Don Juan in season 4.  There’s also an offer for Lucy.
LUCY: “I don’t care what they pay me. I am not going to play the part of your father!”
Tumblr media
WOMEN FROM MARS ~ “Lucy is Envious” (1953) 
Lucy and Ethel make money to fulfill a pledge by doing a stunt for an upcoming film, Women from Mars. The plot was most likely inspired by the 1953 film The War of the Worlds which is also about a Martian invasion. Two days before this episode aired, a British film called Devil Girl from Mars hit US cinemas. Also hitting the big screen in 1953 was Invaders From Mars, which featured Hillary Brooke (“The Fox Hunt”) and Richard Deacon (“The Celebrity Next Door”). America had Martian madness!
Tumblr media
BITTER GRAPES ~ “Lucy’s Italian Movie” (1956)
On the train to Rome, Lucy is eyed by Vittorio Philippi (Franco Corsaro). Taking the title literally, Lucy investigates the wine-making business, leading to one of the funniest scenes in television history as Lucy stomps grapes. 
Tumblr media
After a tussel in the vat, Lucy proves to ‘blue’ for the role - a typical American tourist - which goes to Ethel instead. Lucy one bitter grape! 
Tumblr media
TROPICAL RHYTHMS ~ “Home Movies” (1954)
Ricky creates an audition film for a television project. Then Lucy and the Mertzes add their own home movie (a Western) to create a very chaotic film. 
Tumblr media
GUYS & DOLLS ~ “Lucy and the Dummy” (1955)
When the episode was running short, a preview clip of the upcoming MGM film musical starring Frank Sinatra was inserted into the Executive Show sequence. After one airing, the sequence was removed and has never been restored. The morning after the original broadcast, fans phoned a bewildered Sinatra to tell him he was on “I Love Lucy” last night - which he knew nothing about! 
~UNMENTIONED TITLES~
Tumblr media
Un-Titled Florida Project ~ “Desert Island” (1956)
Ricky announces that he’s going to be in a film about the history of the state of Florida. The movie will feature Claude Akins (as a giant native), Joi Lansing and Jil Jarman. Ricky says he will appear in the ‘modern’ scenes playing with his band in the hotel nightclub. In real life, Desi Arnaz got his start in showbusiness in a Florida nightclub.
Tumblr media
CLUNY BROWN ~ “The Fox Hunt” (1956) 
A few seconds of establishing stock footage of Berkshire Manor was taken from the 1938 Ernst Lubitch film Cluny Brown, which was filmed by 20th Century Fox in a Hollywood studio, but takes place in England. In the film, the home is named Friars Carmel Manor, but with the exception of the lettering bearing the name, the footage is identical.
Tumblr media
STAGE DOOR ~ “Lucy’s Italian Movie” (1956)
LUCY: “The calla lilies are in bloom again.”
This is a quote from Stage Door (1937), which Lucille Ball always called her ‘big break’. It was Katherine Hepburn’s first line in the play within the film, and was repeated throughout the movie. Ball always admired Hepburn, and it is possible the writers included the line as an homage to her.
Tumblr media
BUS STOP ~ “Lucy and Superman” (1957) 
The Appleby’s come over for a social evening. As the scene opens, Caroline is in mid-sentence talking about a film.  
CAROLINE: “And he picked up Marilyn Monroe, slung her over his shoulder and carried her off!”
Although the title is never mentioned, the film they are discussing is Bus Stop, starring Marilyn Monroe and Don Murray. It was released in August 1956, two and a half months before this episode was filmed. Frequent “Lucy” character actor Hans Conried has a featured role in the film.
Tumblr media
HOW TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE ~ “Changing the Boys Wardrobe” (1953)
The gang is heading to the movies to see “That picture we’ve been trying to get to for weeks with Marilyn Monroe.” The movie is either Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, which premiered in New York City in July 1953, or How To Marry A Millionaire, which premiered (just in Los Angeles) one day after this episode was filmed.
ETHEL: “Wasn’t that a wonderful dress she had on in the big number?”  
Both films were musicals, so this doesn’t narrow it down very much. In either case, it is likely that the title goes unmentioned because Lucy and Desi had just filmed The Long, Long Trailer for MGM Studios and How To Marry a Millionaire and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes were 20th Century Fox pictures.
~FILM INSPIRATIONS~
Tumblr media
MURDER AT THE VANITIES ~ “Lucy Gets Into Pictures” (1955)
Lucy finally gets a part as a murdered showgirl in an (un-named) Hollywood movie directed by Ricky’s friend Frank Williams (Lou Krugman). The film may have been inspired by 1934′s Murder at the Vanities, in which Lucille Ball had an uncredited role as a showgirl.
Tumblr media
THE MAJOR AND THE MINOR ~ “The Kleptomaniac” (1952)
Under hypnosis (and with a knowing wink to Ethel), Lucy reverts to childhood, with a story and a voice doubtlessly influenced by Ginger Rogers in the 1942 film The Major and the Minor. 
LUCY: “It all started when I was a little girl. I was riding on the streetcar one day and I looked up and I saw a box and it said, 'take one.’ So I took one. From then on, I took anything that came into my pretty head even though it didn’t say 'take one.'  I took a bright new penny. I took a bicycle. I took a little boy. But my mother made me give him back.
Tumblr media
DUCK SOUP ~ “Lucy and Harpo Marx” (1955) 
The mirror routine between Lucy and Harpo was first performed by Groucho in Duck Soup (1933). Lucille Ball and Harpo had appeared together in Room Service in 1938 for RKO Studios. 
Tumblr media
DANCE, GIRL, DANCE ~ “Bullfight Dance” (1955)
The final look for Lucy’s bull costume was no doubt inspired by Ferdinand the Bull, the story of the bull who’d rather pick flowers, than face the picador.  The character was integral to the story of Lucille Ball’s 1940 film Dance, Girl, Dance.
Tumblr media
GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES ~ “Second Honeymoon” (1956)
The plot of this episode very closely follows the adventures of Lorelei Lee (Marilyn Monroe) in the 1953 film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. In common with this episode and the film is extra Monty O'Grady, who played a passenger on both vessels!  Also look for “I Love Lucy” actors Norma Varden (Mrs. Benson in “The Ricardos Change Apartments”), Elliott Reid (Edward Warren from “Face To Face”), and Bennett Green (Desi’s stand-in and veteran background player).
Tumblr media
Lorelei’s dinner companion turns out to be a seven year-old boy, just like Lucy’s ping pong partner turns out to be young Kenneth Hamilton played by nine year-old Harvey Grant.
Tumblr media
Lucy gets stuck in a porthole just as Lorelei did, also draping a blanket around her shoulders so passersby wouldn’t know what was really going on.
~FILM FUNNIES~
Tumblr media
“Ricky Needs an Agent” (1955)

Gloria margarita mix blueberry
Tumblr media
Renowned bartenders from Tucson come to duke it out for the honor of best margarita in Arizona. The Tucson Originals and the Southern Arizona Arts and Cultural Alliance get together every year to bring the public the World Margarita Championship. The bar's "romance expert" would set the whole thing up no word on whether all that dough covered dinner, though. If you thought $1200 wasn't too bad to spend on a cocktail, how does $30,000 sound? For Valentine’s Day in 2015, the Iron Cactus in Austin, Texas, offered an extremely expensive margarita that came with a pair of diamond earrings. OR YOU CAN BUY ONE WITH EARRINGS FOR $30,000. The decadent drink was for a good cause though-half the money was donated to a charity of the drinker’s choice. The final product was poured into a Ralph Lauren hand-blown Hungarian crystal glass that can be taken home afterward. Even the ice was made from $450 bottles of Lois Roederer Cristal Champagne. In 2013, 230 FIFTH Rooftop Bar & Penthouse Lounge in Manhattan baited partiers with a frozen margarita that used some incredibly high-end ingredients-the tequila alone cost $1800 a bottle. The drink had a similar recipe but was called Picador (a type of bullfighter). The very first print mention we can find of the drink (but not the name) comes from the 1937 book Café Royal Cocktail Book by William Tarling. He concocted the now-famous drink and named it after the showgirl, as Margarita is a Spanish version of the name Marjorie. She wanted a cocktail using the liquor, so Herrera began experimenting. Marjorie King, one of the showgirls there, was unable to drink any hard liquor but tequila. This is probably not true, though: The first importer of Jose Cuervo used the tagline "Margarita: it's more than a girl's name" in 1945-three years before Sames debuted her drink.Īnother story is that a man named Danny Herrera made the drink in his Tijuana restaurant in the '30s or '40s (accounts vary). One of her party guests was Tommy Hilton, who added the drink to the bar menu at his hotels. The most widely spread rumor is that an American socialite named Margarita Sames created the drink for her friends in 1948. No one is quite sure who invented the margarita, but there are a lot of theories. Kick back, grab the salt and limes, and enjoy a frosty drink while reading these facts about your favorite summer cocktail.

Tumblr media
In Sigma Zeta (ΣΖ), any girl brought to the frat house is by default a house girl and she is free game for any Brothers to hunt.
There was no exception to the rule even if you had been dating the vice president of this fraternity for three years now. Atsumu always placed his Brothers on a higher pedestal as compared to you because one of the most important rule in their brotherhood was to strictly follow the ‘bros before hoes’ commandment. Not to say that you were a hoe, but college was a hive of fuck boys with commitment issues and insecure girls who sought validation from said fuck boys. You would like to believe that those people were a minority while all the others were actually more academically inclined because that was what college was meant to be.
You were in the middle of that spectrum, gearing towards focusing on your studies but also not missing out on the Greek side of college.
How could you even begin to describe the Greek Life?
It was more than just guys in shorts and Ralph Lauren button downs. Or red cups and neon lights. Or drinking and bonding games. There were terminologies used for every member of these hierarchical college organizations, ranging from Bigs to Littles to Pledges. Being part of the Greek society was where you would learn the true meaning of respect, camaraderie, and loyalty.
As college students, you were either classified as a Brother or a Sister with your respective fraternities and sororities, or you were demeaned as a GDI—namely the students who didn’t belong into any organization. They lived up to their label of being ‘God Damn Independents’ because they chose to live a college life without having to conform into any rules. In other terms, they were more simply known as the ‘unaffiliated’.
Your boyfriend’s twin, Osamu, was unaffiliated to any fraternities. He usually steered himself away from the whole party life and the initiation rights because he preferred being that one dude in college who could actually look back at his gpa and be proud of himself, not at what fraternity he was in or the legacy he left with them.
Atsumu? He was the absolute opposite of his twin. Since you first met him in your freshman year, the blond had always been the more popular one. He would walk around the campus with his snapback on and people could recognize him even from afar. Sociable, easygoing, and highly extroverted—what else could you expect from such a man?
He found his brothers beyond his bloodline. As much as he loved Osamu, Atsumu allowed more ‘brothers’ to make his college life more worthwhile. After joining Sigma Zeta in his freshman year, he was now in his senior year and a respectable vice president who ran their chapter alongside the current president Koutarou Bokuto.
Because you were a member of a sorority yourself, you understood how his college life worked. Although sororities were prohibited to throw parties, the fraternities were the ones that hosted them and it was how you found yourself spending yet another night at Sigma Zeta to get high and to play drinking games.
It being your last year in college, what else was stopping you from living your best life? Spring Break would happen next week and tonight was the perfect chance to add spice to your life before you and Atsumu would fly off to Mexico for spring break in two days.
With that in mind, you allowed yourself a few drinks that you could handle and joined the crowd of sweaty bodies in the basement as you danced the night away. All you could think of was reaching the highest form of ecstasy while you mindlessly undulated your hips to match the rhythm of the booming music that resonated throughout the house.
Frat parties brought in too much chaos. So many things were happening at once that you wouldn’t be able to properly distinguish every single thing that was going on. One minute you were playing Truth or Dare, the next? You were in Atsumu’s room having your mouth filled with his thick cock as you kneeled in his bed like a docile bunny.
“Fuck yeah,” he cussed, opening a can of beer and quickly chugging the liquor down as you worked on pumping his shaft. The red neon lights that illuminated his room affected the erotic mood that you were currently engulfed in. “Show Omi-kun how good ‘ya suck my dick, baby.”
Because you had some alcohol in your system, you were quite a giggling mess. Kiyoomi Sakusa was standing on the side of the bed, drinking from his red cup as his eyes followed your movements. You shared strict eye-contact while you purposely ran your tongue on the blond’s cock, feeling his thick veins before you wrapped your lips back around his girth. The sight of Atsumu’s cock disappearing in your mouth caused their eyes to gleam with concupiscent thoughts.
“Damn.”
You have always secretly dreamed of being the subject of lust by these hot men, and since Atsumu was all for brotherhood, he didn’t mind sharing you.
He didn’t mind how Sakusa let his cock spring free from his boxers and positioned himself from the back, kneading your bosom from behind to set himself on the right mood. “You want us to take you to Paris?”
Huh? You released Atsumu’s cock from your mouth with a pop. “What do you mean?” you slurred, batting your eyelashes innocently. Your hand continued to stroke your boyfriend’s cock while Kiyoomi was maneuvering your hips on the edge of the bed. The bass coming from the deafening music was vibrating through the room, unknown to the very sexual position that the three of you were occupied by.
“She likes to travel, you know?” Atsumu plastered a cocky smirk on his face just as he set the empty can on his bedside table. His eyes glinted of humor with his words, soon gesturing for you to get in all fours so that his frat brother could have a better access on your entrance—the same slit that Kiyoomi had been playing with his fingers for the past few minutes.
Sakusa didn’t even wait long enough before he rubbed his swollen tip against your dripping cunt and the friction was eliciting titillating moans out of you. “Your pussy’s so wet and pretty,” he spoke under his breath, teasing you by sinking his tip and pulling it out completely. “Like that, bunny?”
You nodded, gazing back at him with glistening eyes that begged for more of his touch. Since when did he look so hot? You watched as he ejected spit on his cock, lubricating his length by performing slow movements with his palm around it. Dammit, his smirk was turning you on so bad.
As a reward for your docility, he no longer stalled from penetrating your core with his member. “Mm—Omi!”
Atsumu was thicker, but goddamn was Kiyoomi longer. You couldn’t even suppress the salacious cries that escaped your mouth as the latter started jostling your hips firmer against his crotch. Your buttocks were meeting the base of his cock with loud, slapping noises and you were drowning from the euphoric feeling of his length desperately plowing your cunt.
“Chin up, babe.” You’ve almost forgotten your boyfriend as your eyes rolled back to your skull. Atsumu had a haughty simper on display when he placed his dick back on your lips to be on the receiving end. “Ready for Paris?”
Just the way he teasingly slapped your mouth with his shaft earned a raspy chuckle from the raven-haired man. “Just fuckin’ do it, Miya.”
“Patience, my brother.”
You were humming in satisfaction when your boyfriend finally had your lips locked in tight around his cock. There was that musky taste that you immediately recognized as you began bobbing your head to suck him full. Because he was holding your hair with an enclosed fist, you allowed him to explore the walls of your mouth by having his tip hitting your inner cheek. Drool was slipping on the corner of your lips after you hollowed your cheeks, angling Atsumu’s cock to reach your uvula.
“Ah, fuck. So good, baby.” The praises. You lived for Atsumu’s praises.
And you loved it more when Sakusa also spoiled you with one. “How do you still have a tight cunt?” he sneered, rutting his himself into you with dark eyes boring into your swollen cunny. Your plump folds were stretched from Kiyoomi’s hard thrusts and the hand that suddenly smacked your butt cheek only added to the intensity of your arousal. “You’re so warm, you’re gonna make me cum straight away.”
While you were being penetrated in your mouth and in your cunt, you could hear the two of them exchanging fist bumps and laughing at how they have created an ‘Eiffel tower’ with you in between.
“What’s takin’ Bokuto so long?” you heard them converse. It was Atsumu who asked the question while you worked on giving him the best blowjob of his life. He received head from you more than the days a calendar could offer, still he would die to have your lips around his cock any time of the day.
“He’s watching all the Pledges, but he said he’ll join soon—ah, shit! I’m gonna fucking bust a nut.”
“Give it to her hard.”
“She’s so tight. Bokuto would enjoy her.”
Bokuto. If you were whimpering from Sakusa’s fully erected cock, you could only imagine your tears when Koutarou finally had you bouncing on his. There was no doubt that the man was packing. You’ve seen how big he was from the dick prints that always appeared behind his grey sweatpants. The man was certainly going to wreck you open with it.
“Aah—Omi! Mm... Fuck.” You couldn’t even restrain your moans. He was increasing his pace at a speed that left you releasing Atsumu from your mouth as you were being fucked stupid by his best friend.
“Shit. Shit.” Sakusa was absolutely losing his cool while he chased his orgasm by slamming his cock inside your velvet walls like an animal in heat. At the moment, you’ve discarded Atsumu who was jerking off at the sight to prepare himself from releasing his cum on your face. “Your chick feels so good, Miya.”
“Right?” Without a second to spare, Atsumu forced your mouth open and instantly had spurts of warm seed filling your mouth at the peak of his ejaculation. Some of it went to your cheek and on to your chest, giving you cum drizzles all over your face. You knew that he would chuckle at it while squeezing your mounds together to enjoy the view of your compressed tits.
“A-Atsumu—!” Although you yelled for his name, it was Kiyoomi who had you whining like a crybaby by raw-dogging you with heavy thrusts before he pulled out and spilled his cum all over your ass.
It was only the first round, but you were already panting out of breath. Your head was getting dizzy from all the alcohol intake and the kaleidoscope of colors brought about by the weed brownies that you’ve had. Still, even if you were lying face flat on the mattress, you looked up at your boyfriend with a grin as he started wiping the cum off your body.
“Have to clean my baby.” You could feel the dampness of the wipes as he rubbed Kiyoomi’s jism off your bum. So cute, you giggled as you clamped the bed sheets with your hands. Atsumu then pecked your lips, saying that you were such a good girl and sending butterflies to your stomach at the affectionate gesture.
While you were in an aftercare session with your boyfriend, Sakusa was manspreading on the couch with his shorts now covering his lower body as he typed on his phone.
“Are you texting your girlfriend?” you playfully asked, propping your elbows on the cushion to better look at his face.
He didn’t deny that he was texting someone, but the upward tug of his lips was meant to show that the person was something else to him. Or something more. “Not girlfriend.”
“Fuck buddy that he’s in love with,” Atsumu confirmed to you, only to receive Sakusa’s defensive shake of the head.
“Shut up. I’m not in love.”
“Yo, which sorority chick are we fucking tonight?”
Barging in from the door was a grinning Bokuto and a wide-eyed Shoyo Hinata who was visibly surprised to see you naked in bed. The sound of the music resonated louder when the door stood ajar and you could hear Drake’s Nonstop playing from the background.
“Oh, it’s Y/N?” Bokuto realized your presence as they closed the door and approached you closer. You had your back resting against the headboard, one leg folded comfortably before you shot them a genial smile. He was quick to exchange handshakes with his two frat brothers who were just done being satiated by you. “Damn, y’all didn’t ruin her enough.”
Atsumu placed his snapback on his head. “Omi-kun can’t fuck for shit. My girl didn’t even cum.”
“Fuck you.” Kiyoomi flicked the blond off without looking up from his phone.
Your eyes trailed towards the other two. “Hey, Bokuto,” you casually greeted, nodding your head at Hinata who awkwardly stood at the side. “Has Shoyo passed the initiation yet?”
Atsumu cleared his throat, adjusting the bands of his boxers before he walked towards the tangerine-haired man with a pat on his back. “As Shoyo-kun’s appointed Big, I have one last special test for my Little.”
In fraternity culture, there were Big brothers and Little brothers—sometimes referred to as pledge sons—which was similar to a mentor and student relationship and Atsumu was the upperclassman who was in charge of introducing Shoyo to the world of Sigma Zeta.
How many tests had he gone through? Heck, he probably went through worse things knowing how creative Atsumu could be. He was a hazing nightmare. As a Sister in your sorority, you knew how tough initiations could be so you didn’t mind to be of assistance for Shoyo’s last test to brotherhood as a consolation for Atsumu’s strict hazing rituals.
“Take a good look at her, Hinata,” Bokuto commanded, putting an arm around the smaller guy just as Atsumu did the same. The former was gesturing his hand towards you as though he was a chef who was presenting a full-course meal and you couldn’t help but chuckle. “See that? She’s fucking hot, right?”
Shoyo could barely meet your eyes without glancing at Atsumu. “But she’s your girl—”
Atsumu and Bokuto looked at each other in playful disapproval. “Dude, I think Shoyo-kun’s forgetting a rule here,” the blond said in good humor, egging Bokuto on to remind the guy of it.
“Hinata, to become a full-pledged Brother, what is the one golden rule that all Brothers must live by?” Bokuto walked around the room to reach for the baseball bat while you watched in amusement, squeezing your legs together and raking your hair to side. Being naked in front of these four men would have made you shy, but you’ve done wilder things with Atsumu so you were at a point where nothing could hold you back. “What is it, hm?”
Shoyo’s response was a shake of his head, thinking of an answer in panic. “Respect my Big’s girlfriend?”
Kiyoomi released a snort, following Atsumu’s guffaw soon after. Bokuto, on one hand, pointed the tip of the baseball bat on Shoyo’s cheek.
“Wrong,” said the president, sitting on the bed next to you. Koutarou briefly looked at your face with a smirk before glancing at your lips, leaning in closer to envelope your mouth on his for a kiss.
As you were too busy making out with the silver-haired guy, Atsumu was forcing Shoyo to watch the view. With an arm around his Little’s shoulder and a hand on his chin, he urged for the smaller guy to keep his eyes glued on you as Bokuto’s hand started to fondle your breast.
“Think of the answer Shoyo-kun,” you could hear Atsumu say, “I know my girl’s hot as fuck but ‘ya need to think straight.”
“Mm—” your moan vibrated against Bokuto’s lips as the guy’s hand traveled to your clit. He spread your legs wide open and stretched your labia with his fingers, orchestrating circular motions against your sex to have you whimpering from his touch. You were moving your hips to match the pleasuring movements of Bokuto’s fingers and little did you know, Kiyoomi was on the side growing another boner from it.
“Fuck it. I’m horny again.”
“Omi-kun, you had your turn.”
“Whatever, I’ll be back. I’m gonna get booze.”
“B-Bokuto—!” You gazed at the man with shiny eyes before he released his hand from cupping your pussy. You then briefly met Atsumu’s eyes who gave you a look of approval as if he was proud of how great you were doing so far.
And at once, Bokuto was standing back up to point his baseball bat on Shoyo’s chin this time around. “Answer?”
“Bros before hoes?” Shoyo hesitated, but earned Atsumu and Koutarou’s cheers nevertheless. He was tackled by his two upperclassmen as soon as the right answer rolled off his lips.
“Now,” Bokuto raised a hand before he spoke again, “and what are one of the things that a Brother must take pride on? Do you know what it is?”
The humor on your face eased the orange-haired guy up from his rigid stance. Atsumu pressed his mouth closer to Shoyo’s ear, perhaps hinting the answer because he soon responded with, “Banging bitches?”
“Damn, right! Do you know how to fuck bitches?” Bokuto asked, sitting at the foot of the bed as he sent a fusillade of questions towards Atsumu’s Little. “Can you make a bitch cry with your dick? What’s your body count?”
“Two.”
“Come on!” Atsumu whined, shaking his head in exaggerated disappointment. “Just two? You’re like nineteen!”
You playfully rolled your eyes at your boyfriend’s reaction. “Don’t shame the poor guy,” you said, turning to look at Shoyo. “I think it’s cute. Want me to make your body count three?”
Atsumu was visibly turned on from the way you offered yourself. “Fuck, baby. You’re makin’ my dick hard again.”
A giggle flew off your lips. “Hush, you can have me all you want next time, ‘Tsumu.” For now, you had to help Hinata out by pulling him by the hand and allowing him to sit next to you. You could feel the tension building within him so you planted a soft kiss on his lips to make him comfortable. “Make your brothers proud.”
You came into the frat house thinking that it was going to be another typical night of you getting wasted or high off Molly, grinding on the basement with your boyfriend, and playing beer pong with the rest of your friends.
It never crossed your mind that you would find yourself laying in bed with Shoyo burying his face in between your legs and Bokuto positioning his monster of a cock on your mouth from the side. Such a lecherous sight to see indeed and Atsumu was dead-set on keeping it in his memories by withdrawing his phone out to record the whole raunchy scene.
“How does my baby taste like Shoyo-kun?” Atsumu asked, sniggering as he placed the camera closer to his Little. The guy was spreading your folds apart to show your tight and swollen hole towards the camera, later filling the cavern with his tongue to garner your dulcet moans.
“Sweet,” was Shoyo’s response, lapping his tongue inside your walls and rubbing his thumb against your nub. “Her cum tastes like sweet cream.”
Your mind was on seventh heaven as soon as he dipped two fingers inside your cunt, curling them inside your vagina in search for your most sensitive spot. “Mm—aah! Th-That’s—!”
Atsumu’s chuckle slithered through your ears. “You like how he does it, baby?”
No answer could leave your mouth because Bokuto has long stuffed his cock down your throat before you could respond. “Fuck yes. Show me what that mouth do.”
Like the people pleaser that you were, you looked up at Bokuto as you started bobbing your head to take him deeper than you normally could. He was getting so deep that you were gagging on his cock, tears brimming on the corner of your eyes when your chin hit his bollocks as a sign of how far down he had gone in.
You couldn’t see but you could feel the sensory overload that blazed your body with sensual flames now that another mouth has joined the session. Was it Kiyoomi? Was it Atsumu? The third man latched his mouth into your bosom, swirling his tongue around your nipple and flicking the other with his finger.
“Mmh!” Fuck, you couldn’t open your mouth either. Shoyo was already ravaging your cunt with three fingers at this point and you were squirming under their hold.
“I leave for five minutes and I come back to see Miya’s ass on display.”
The sound of the door slamming shut was due to Kiyoomi coming in, letting it known that the orotund voice belonged to him. By the time Bokuto pulled his cock out from ransacking your cum-filled mouth, you finally saw the raven-haired man taking a swig on a bottle of whiskey.
Atsumu, on the other hand, also released his mouth from suckling on your bust. He immediately grabbed the bottle from Sakusa’s grip and chugged it down. “Look at Shoyo-kun,” he fleered. “Good job, ‘brotha!”
As your body disintegrated into flames, you watched how Shoyo sucked his slick-coated fingers clean as your legs began to shake. You just came and you didn’t even realize.
At 3AM, you figured that you could do one last round. After Bokuto had you in rough missionary half an hour ago, your screams almost ripped your larynx out every time he was hitting your g-spot with a merciless thrust. The man was too well-endowed for your tight cunny that you ended up laying in bed in stupor soon after he came all over your chest.
The exhaustion gave way to your fifteen-minute nap, only to wake up and hear Shoyo being praised by his big brothers for passing the initiation albeit still unofficial at this stage.
On the last round, you were situated in the middle of Kiyoomi and Atsumu—the former, whose cock was deep in your cunt from under you and the latter, whose cock was expanding your anal walls from behind.
“Aah! F-Fuck, don’t stop!” you cried out, gripping onto Sakusa’s broad shoulders as him and Atsumu matched each other’s pace. The double penetration was blowing your mind because never did you expect that it could feel this good. Did it overwhelm you? The fuck it did. But this was new and the sensation took you to an unfamiliar paradise.
In his own regard, Sakusa was in ecstasy too as he jerked his hips upwards and squeezed your mounds with a wanton stare. “You’re such a whore for having two dicks inside you, bunny.”
“Y-You—” As you gazed into his eyes, you noticed how his pupils were familiarly dilated. “Are you fucking high on Molly?”
Atsumu snickered from behind as his groin collided against your bum with a skin-slapping noise. “Omi-kun, you didn’t share,” and with a firm grip on your hips, he added, “Shit. I should fuck your ass more like this, baby.”
Louder moans slipped out of your parted lips with every penetration that sent you to euphoria. “Oh my, God—! I’m gonna c-cum!”
“Spit on his mouth.”
The instruction came from Bokuto who was seated on the couch next to Shoyo after having sated earlier. You didn’t even know that the silver-haired man was palming his now clothed cock at the sight of the very pornographic threesome.
In Atsumu’s risqué humor, he didn’t mind, “Yeah, spit on Omi-kun’s mouth.”
Since you were always obliging, you pressed your lips against Kiyoomi’s pinkish ones amid the vibration of your titillating cries before you ejected spit from your mouth to his.
“Oooh!”
Chuckles from left and right were shared from the two guys in the couch and the blond man that you called your boyfriend.
Before you knew it, Sakusa pulled you back into a kiss by rolling his tongue along yours without caring about the sloppiness of it.
“Whoever gets to cum first will clean the frat house tomorrow!” Bokuto’s laugh of mischief was quite contagious, but then you couldn’t join because the two idiots that had your holes filled took it seriously.
“Fuck it. I can’t hold it any longer,” Atsumu grunted after drilling your hole with an increased pace.
“Don’t you dare spill your cum on me, Miya!” Kiyoomi breathed the words out, panting as he too was plowing your cunt with an animalistic speed.
The squelching noises echoed through the four walls of Atsumu’s room concurrent to the clenching of your walls around their huge cocks. No, you couldn’t it any longer either. You could feel the orgasm building on your lower abdomen, making your squirm in the middle of them as you whimpered, “A-Aah, shit I’m g-gonna—!”
“FUCK!”
Sakusa was more pissed at the fact that he came first rather than having to pull away before he released his semen that was now oozing from your cunt. Had you forgotten to take birth control this morning, you would have cussed the shit out of him.
At least your boyfriend had the decency to pull out from your hole as you collapsed on top of a gasping Sakusa, feeling the warmth of Atsumu’s jizz that coated your back.
“You two are fuckin’ heavy,” Kiyoomi said, moving away from underneath you as he recovered from his orgasm.
Atsumu attacked your cheek with kisses before looking at his best friend. “‘Yer just mad you’re gonna clean the house tomorrow.”
Bokuto was quick to pat Sakusa’s back, now pulling his pants back up. “Who said I’m cleaning? I’m gonna make the Pledges do it.”
“Boo, loser,” you mocked Kiyoomi despite your lethargy. Soon enough, you saw Shoyo handing a pack of wet wipes towards your boyfriend like an obedient student. “Thanks, Shoyo. Welcome to Sigma Zeta.”
Atsumu gave the man a fist bump. “Good job, little bro.”
“Right, right. We’re gonna head downstairs to see what the other bros are up to,” Bokuto announced, pulling his two frat brothers away to leave you and Atsumu by yourselves. “Thanks for the good fuck, Y/N.”
God. Perhaps it was because of the alcohol leaving your system but you just couldn’t believe that you did all of that like you were possessed by a sex goddess. Even Atsumu himself didn’t think that you would enjoy it as much as he did.
Well, what could you say? This was college.
At the sound of the door closing, he spooned you under the duvet and pressed his soft lips on yours. “Who fucked you best, babe?”
With a lazy grin, you pecked his lips again. “You.”

— SKELETON TROPE: THE GIRL NEXT DOOR
parker is your classic girl-next-door type—if your next-door neighbors are affluent and exceptionally well-to-do. she’s charming, approachable, and playful. she’s any mother’s dream, fresh out of a vintage ralph lauren catalog. she’s damn near picture-perfect (at least, on the surface)—though not in a bombshell manner, but in a put-together, feminine way. that said, it’s her empathy and love of others that really cements her girl-next-door label.
— RELATIONSHIP TO GREER
parker and greer met when they were just girls, their families’ hamptons summer vacations overlapping. the two connected pretty immediately, as many young girls with the world at their fingertips do. their parents, too, got along, leading to consistently overlapping summer holidays through the years. parker always admired greer, from her athleticism, to her determination, to her general aura. as high schoolers, the two were practically unstoppable, with greer’s enticing energy and parker’s personable nature. it was hard not to get caught in one of their gravitational pulls, if not both. sure, greer was the one who got the guy that one time (or two), the one with an apparent effortlessness that parker herself knew she didn’t possess, but they developed a bond that—at least, to parker—was as genuine and true as only relationships between young women could be.
— ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
love will kill and resurrect me
“I am eternally, devastatingly romantic, and I thought people would see it because ‘romantic’ doesn’t mean ‘sugary.’ It’s dark and tormented — the furor of passion, the despair of an idealism that you can’t attain.”
when sade zabala said “tell me every terrible thing you ever did, and let me love you anyway.” and when hozier said “i wouldn’t fall for someone i thought couldn’t misbehave.”
i’m still a believer, but i don’t know why / i’ve never been a natural, all i do is try, try, try
regardless of circumstance, parker always looks polished; very updated old-money aesthetic. even in her current mod/60s-70s/“grungy”/twiggy phase, there’s a put-togetherness about her appearance.
quite intelligent; it’s apparent in the way that she speaks that she knows herself and her opinions very well
so affectionate — so, so affectionate
so open and direct and playful
that said, she’ll try to put you in your place if she feels the need, and it’ll be swift and concise
there’s an emotional depth and transparency to her that can actually be a bit volatile
wants to befriend every monster, has trouble letting go of people
big music girl, makes playlists for absolutely everything; loves everything, from fleetwood mac, to harry styles, to sondheim, to vivaldi
tends to hum or read aloud to herself quietly when things are silent
very involved in the theatre department and performs in just about every production
is a natural blonde, but will often dye her hair red (though, sometimes it fades back to blonde and looks nice, so she lets it)
her father named her after his favorite comic-book couple, peter parker and mary jane watson. jane happened to be a family name on her mother’s side, so it worked out
is, herself, a bit of a nerd — enjoys lord of the rings, dungeons & dragons, and the like
actually DMs a D&D campaign on campus, text her if you want to drop in
has been known to host movie nights in her dorm room
loves history and literature — she’s taken a fair amount of obscure courses not related to her major (medieval history, death and dying as seen in literature)
her dorm room surfaces are always littered with annotated plays and half-empty perfume bottles; there’s always at least one vase of fresh flowers set somewhere
is part of an off-campus archery team; her equipment (which she sneakily brought to school) is always propped up against a bedside table or at the end of her bed

Gossip Girl and Old Money vs. New Money
tldr: I broke down the family background and class status of the Archibald/Van der Bilt, Bass, Rhodes/Van der Woodsen, and Waldorf families. Because even among the 1%, old money vs. new money is still a very real difference to them.
Archibald/Van der Bilt (aka Vanderbilt) family: In the world of the show, Nate's family is presented as the oldest money of them all. His mom is a Vanderbilt (spelled Van der Bilt on the show presumably for legal reasons) a real wealthy American family. Although, among the insanely wealthy, the Vanderbilts are technically not old money. In America, old money technically refers to families who made their money prior to the Revolutionary War. Anything else is technically new money (although one anthropologist has stated starting from the 1930s on you can refer to the Vanderbilts as old money - they would just be Lower-Upper compared to an Upper-Upper family that made their money in the 1600/1700s). The Vanderbilts didn't make their money until the Gilded Age and they did it by building a shipping and railroad empire. To my knowledge, the real Vanderbilts are not a political family; the show probably took from the Kennedys there.
The Archibald family, on the other hand, are clearly not old money. I don't remember specific scenes or episodes off the top of my head, but that's implied throughout all of Anne and Howard's interactions and you can just sense it in their dynamic. I do think Howard probably still grew up rich what with Dartmouth and all (also let's be real, Anne wouldn't have married him if he wasn't), but he was probably a first gen rich boy, and I think that tracks with him going into Wall Street and investment banking instead of something more "proper". Also I think it's canon that William Van der Bilt purchased the family home and boat for them? So yeah.
Bass family: The Bass family on the other hand is as new money as they come. Bart might be evil sure, but he's truly a self-made man (or as self-made as a billionaire can be - no one earns a billion dollars without exploitation of their workers - but Bart was canonically born poor). In 107, it's established that a lot of Bart's resentment of Chuck comes from the fact that Chuck was born and raised in privilege while Bart came from nothing.
The Bass family is primarily a real estate family, owning hotels and buildings. Obviously, I have to make the most obvious family comparison here: the Trumps. The Bass family is a rival of the Trumps in the show and I think there is an obvious parallel of Bart as Fred, the shady developer who built his family fortune from the ground up using dubious methods, and Chuck as Donald, the son who earned none of what he was handed, a sexual predator, and all around asshole who ended up taking his father's company and running it into the ground multiple times. (God I'm just realizing that if Chuck was real and ran for president he'd unfortunately probably win too).
In the books I think the Bass family even owns the Plaza, just like Trump did, although this was probably changed to the Palace in the show since they were more willing to let them film regularly there.
Rhodes/Van der Woodsen family: In reality, the oldest money of them all would probably be the Van der Woodsens. Van der Woodsen is a Dutch name, and that implies that they are a family that has been in New York since it was New Amsterdam, such as the Stuyvesant, Gansevoort, Schuyler (yes like the sisters from Hamilton), and Van Cortlandt families (I believe this is the case in the books). And yes, doctors make good money, sure, but you can't afford a penthouse apartment in Manhattan on a doctor's salary, let alone yachts or private jets or anything else Serena and Eric seemed to have grown up with. I think it's safe to assume that William comes from a very wealthy family.
Now the Rhodes family on the other hand is more complicated. Cece married a record executive and moved out to California with him. However, she clearly came from an elite Upper East Side family and I think this tracks with her choosing to raise her children in Montecito, a classier, more traditional and conservative neighborhood up in Santa Barbara compared to rich Los Angeles neighborhoods such as Beverly Hills and Brentwood. (Although did she live in Los Angeles with Rick pre-divorce and only moved herself and the girls up there after the split? Unclear.)
In 113 though, Blair makes reference to the Waldorf name and reputation while disparaging Serena, implying that her and her family have a trashier reputation. So my guess is that Cece marrying a record exec and raising her kids out in California probably knocked her down a peg in Upper East Side society. Lily probably gained some of that prestige back by marrying a Van der Woodsen, but then the three divorces by the time of the pilot probably sunk them back down again.
Waldorf family: The Waldorf family is the most confusing one to decipher. The name Waldorf obviously makes you think of the Waldorf Astoria (I'm sure that's where Cecily von Ziegesar got the name from) and the Astor family, one of the Upper Upper old money families of America. Waldorf actually comes from Walldorf, the name of the town in Germany the Astors were originally from. However, the show Waldorfs seem to bear no relation to the Astors or the hotel.
Harold almost certainly came from money. He went to Yale, and I believe he was a lawyer? Which again, sure, lawyers make good money, but not Manhattan penthouse, French chateau, and private jet money. There must have been family money involved.
Eleanor, on the other hand, I'm not so sure. She seems like a self-made woman and she makes a big deal in season 2 when Blair considers not going to college and going down the Maureen van der Bilt path about how "Waldorf women are not socialites". Also it does not seem to be a big deal for her at all to marry a Jewish man (Cyrus), something that might be different if she was a true born and bred blue blood WASP.
And certainly successful fashion designers can be extremely wealthy (Ralph Lauren's net worth is estimated at 7 billion), but Waldorf Designs is clearly a much smaller company than Ralph Lauren (it's not even public). She probably has a net worth in the tens of millions, but believe it or not that's still not regular access to private jet money. Which makes me think Harold almost certainly does have family money. And again, this tracks since in 113 it's made clear that the name Waldorf means something in Upper East Side society. So my guess would be that the Waldorf family is closer to old money than new money. But still nowhere near the level of the Van der Bilts.
