#Amy Santiago is my muse

[bekolxeram]

I know Tim has a whole schtick about traditional TV formula and how its characters can't ever change, hence all of our mains, especially Buck, have been running on a metaphorical rotational device for small domesticated rodents and going through the same thing over and over again. How to avoid it all getting boring, frustrating and tedious after 8 years?

May I suggest learning from the Spanish language? May I devise the ser vs estar model?

I'll give you all the ser qualities. They stay firefighters no matter what, medical degree be damned. They can even be pretty much the same person as they were when they first appear, Buck impulsive hot head until the age of 90, sure.

But show me some evolutions in their estar qualities? Like emotions, let Henren's children be happy for more than 3 episodes? Conditions, maybe don't kidnap Maddie again? Actions, Buck should've learned not to act on his impulse by now. Or even... marital status?

Please? Por favor? S'il vous plaît? Si us plau?

RULE ONE/OOC INFORMATION Hi, my name is Kel, I'm over 21+ and use the pronouns she/her. Time zone is GMT.For now, my blog will run on a queue as I'm busy with some real life stuff. But sometimes, I may come online for an hour or two, depending on my mood. Blog is selective, private and mutual only. Also OC, multi fandom and multi-muse friendly too.

 RULE TWO/THREADS AND REPLIES  Replies can take a while to reply to, but I am not ignoring anyone.

Don't send anon hate either. We all make mistakes and can't remember everything. Regarding shipping, I'm open to anything really. That being said, don't force any ships on any of my characters.

                              (—) ★ spotted !!  OLIVIA JAMES on the cover of this week’s most recent tabloid ! many say that the 34 year old looks like CANDICE KING , but i don’t really see it. while the  ACTRESS  is known for being  CARING  my inside sources say that they have a tendency to be  BOSSY  i swear, every time i think of them, i hear the song LOVER BY TAYLOR SWIFT  .

*   ◞  ╰   general   .

full name : olivia marie james ( nee richardson ) . nicknames :   liv , livvie birthdate / zodiac sign : somewhere in march during aries season . birthplace : houston , tx . sexual orientation : heterosexual . family :   emily richardson ( mother )  &  zach richardson  ( father ) siblings :  none relationship status :  married   children :  emma james ( daughter , 5 years old )  +  another daughter on the way pets :  golden retriever named sammy occupation :  actress . love language :  physical touch , deeds , words . + traits  :  loyal , caring , organized , valiant   &   courageous . - traits  :  bossy , stubborn , workaholic   &  controlling . aesthetic :  matte lipstick , family beach days , blowdried bouncy hair , lipstick stained coffee mugs , matte nail polish , freshly cleaned sheets , gentle touch , game nights , day drinking , sneakers instead of heels , long talks on the phone , mom vibes , oscars stocked shelves . muse inspo :   monica geller ( friends ) , haley james scott ( one tree hill ) , caroline forbes ( vampire diares ) , lorelai gilmore ( gilmore girls ) , prue halliwell ( charmed ) , amy santiago ( brooklyn nine-nine ) , leslie knope ( parks & recreation ) , claire dunphy ( modern family ) , dorothy zbornak ( golden girls )

*   ◞  ╰   quick history   .

ok so , liv grew up in houston with a loving , caring af family which set her values high from the start . the fam was never rich but they also never truly lacked anything ??  

it was clear from a rather early age that liv possessed insane talent when it came for acting , so after a couple of lessons , school plays  &  whatnot , her parents decided to relocate to california so she could pursue acting full time  (  which was a big thing considering she was just 5 , but they believed in her ! )

so obvi , since she was a cute lil blonde girl with immense talent , it didn’t take long for her to book her first big shot movie , &  soon enough liv was a household name !!

growing up , she was careful what she picked  &  even more careful of the company she kept  (  aka fame never got in her head that much )  so with that more blockbuster movies followed , so did appearances on tv , commercials , etc ... u name it ! she was basically hollywood’s sweetheart  (  think hilary duff grows up to be kate winslet or kate blanchett )  &  i have the list of movies she’s made  HERE  to make it easier for u :)) 

fast forward a couple of more years  &  now she’s a big a-list actress , is happily married  (  which is a shock itself for hollywood standards )  to the love of her life for about 7 years now (  think of blake lively and ryan reynolds on this one !! ) ,  has a beautiful daughter named emma who just turned 5 , owns a golden retriever called sammy ( american cliche what can i say )  &&  is about seven months pregnant with ANOTHER  baby girl !!

*   ◞  ╰   personality & cute facts .

not gonna lie she’s totally based off monica geller from friends  &  i regret nothing .

also a huge coffee addict (  surprise , surprise  ) 

wears glasses for reading  &  cleans when frustrated !! 

the mom friend of every group so .... will protect anyone who needs it .

doesn’t tolerate nonsense &  is quick to give u a smartypants comment to a stupid question or overall give u lectures on the bad decisions u make .

does not too well when she’s on the receiving end of criticism  &  hates admitting she’s in the wrong .

famous lines include  “ you did not just say that “  &  “ i told you so “

can do her makeup even drunk ;))

still cries like a baby when mufasa dies  &  susan forgets about narnia .

likes having a glass of wine every night before bed to calm her nerves lolol .

goes lowkey crazy during superbowl season bc .... she’s a big football fan .

a total momma bear  &  will hurt u if u hurt her family .

lowkey hates going to all the award shows bc the press always makes a big deal out of it meanwhile all she wants to do is stay home . 

her husband & her love cracking jokes / tease each other thru social media so they often post ridiculous pics / twitter posts  &  the fans eat it up !! 

*   ◞  ╰   connections  .

childhood best friend aka the rachel to her monica !! <3

a group of  FRIENDS  ( see what i did there fdjnrjtdg  ) give me ross , phoebe , joey & chandler pls !!

friends that often barbecue together on the weekends ?? 

hollywood couple friends !!!

maybe her first love ??  like a guy she dated when she was 14 , and it was totally cute  &  innocent

also exes she dated before meeting her husband  (  think taylor swift before she met joe alwyn ) <3

also co-actors on her films would be grand too !!

ok so since i know our group is full of QUESTIONABLE people , maybe someone she watches over , protects , lectures , etc ??  just let her be a mom friend pls !  

frenemies , coworkers , protective friendship , sibling like friendship , unfaithful friends  , unlikely friends , friends who used to be enemies , ex best friends , friends who balance each other out , competition , rivarly , friends by association , family friends , her husband’s friends :))

hey !!! highkey i don’t think anyone writes these fandoms anymore but i’m (19F) looking (for other 18+ writers) to write and / or plot the tv shows brooklyn nine — nine or superstore. both are kind of a comfort show for me, and i’ve had such high muse for them lol. i’m looking for someone to write anyone (canon or oc) to my amy santiago (b99) or amy sosa (superstore)!

i live in the central standard timezone, and i am an online student with a part — time job, so i am frequently available, having weekends to myself unless otherwise.

also, i love to talk ooc, but if that is not a preference for you, lmk!

i mainly write on discord. also i don’t mind group rps!

[cuntess-carmilla]

The only ways in which they sound like Evanescence is that they're Rock that's not heavy enough to be Metal and is female-fronted. The sound lineage of the bands I recommended comes from the 80s Post-Punk scene. Evanescence takes most of their influences from the Nu Metal scene they came along with, Amy's classical piano training and choir experiences, and 90s Alternative Rock.

I specifically used songs by them that reminded me more of Evanescence and as someone who, before finding goth, was hugely into Evanescence for a couple of years, I can tell you there's enough of a stark difference for me to prefer goth over them to the point I dropped the band.

The Deathrock guitars that Requiem in White utilizes have much more in common with classic Punk Rock and even Rockabilly than with the Nu Metal riffs of Evanescence, by far.

Evanescence isn't bass-driven while goth music almost universally is. Die Laughing, The Shroud and This Ascension use the classic Gothic Rock jangly guitars on top of the melody being bass-driven instead of guitar-driven unlike most other forms of Rock music too. In what fucking way is Ophelia by The Shroud "exactly the same" as Sweet Sacrifice, Further Away, What You Want, Lies or Whisper? Fucking none.

They have much more in common with Corpus Delicti, London After Midnight, Faith and the Muse and Twin Tribes than they ever will with Evanescence. Diva Destruction will always have much more in common with Switchblade Symphony, The Frozen Autumn, Collide and La Scaltra than with Evanescence and not just because of the use of synths. Evanescence does use a decent amount of synths, actually, especially in the earlier phase of their discography, and it still wasn't goth because even the style of synths they used wasn't like the ones typically used in the goth scene, which are often derived from 80s Synthpop, or occassionally taken from early Industrial, or Trip-Hop.

What else have you heard of the bands I recommended besides these 20 seconds I showed you're making this broad assumption from? Have you listened to them beyond these microscopic snippets or are you yet another arrogant metalhead making broad assumptions on dark alt genres you know nothing about because you think you're the expert of it all with your undeveloped ear for other dark alt genres?

And no, it doesn't vary between local scenes, not in the way you suggest. My scene in Santiago, Chile, is perfectly clear on it and in accordance with the scene in Valparaíso, Buenos Aires, México City, LA, NYC, Bursa, London, Paris, and the multiple scenes in Brazil.

I see it in person in my own local scene where the band merch sold is still of bands like The Banshees, Bauhaus, Sopor Aeternus, Boy Harsher, She Past Away, Lebanon Hanover, Male Tears, Cinema Strange and The Cure; I see it in the goth nights I've attended and the music that was played there; I see it in the concerts we get excited for and promote both locally and internationally; I see it in the international goth forums I participate in in general and the discussions we have, what bands trend and which don't. The only local difference is which type of sounds from within the scene are preferred, such as Latine goths often being hugely into Deathrock over the rest of the goth subgenres, even before the mid 00s revival of Deathrock.

You're just talking out of your own ass.

“I wasn’t hurt that badly. The doctor said all my bleeding was internal. That’s where the blood’s supposed to be.”  

“ Jake !! “ Wide eyed and staring as if that was the most idiotic thing she had ever heard. . .  oh wait, it was. “ That’s NOT okay ! “

Amy takes a seat beside him and adjusts her police belt to make herself slightly more comfortable. She smirks and side eyes him. “ You know Jake, if you keep hurting yourself like this, Holt might not let you go on any more undercover operations! “

BACKGROUND .

tw  :  mentions  of  death

 larissa  is  born  the  eldest  of  two  in  são  paulo  ,  brazil  to  parents  who  weren’t  quite  ready  to  settle  down  and  be  parents  .  xavier  macedo  ,  was  an  american  ambassador  who  wasn’t  ready  to  take  a  step  back  from  his  job  when  lari  was  born  .  and  born  into  a  world  of  wealth  that  no  one  can  imagine  .  carla  dos  santos  was  a  flight  attendant  who  thoroughly  enjoyed  her  work  and  the  benefits  that  came  with  it  .  and  it’s  then  and  there  that  larissa  inherits  their  father’s  ambition  and  mother’s  wanderlust  .

 at  age  8  ,  lari  loses  her  mother  in  a car  accident  .  xavier  is  now  left  with  two  children  to  raise  on  his  own  .  with  nothing  tying  him  down  to  brazil  ,  he  tenders  his  resignation  and  makes  the  decision  to  relocate  him  and  his  children  to  new  york  city  .   to  be  closer  to  family  .  it’s  there  that  larissa  grows  up  with  the  support  of  their  father’s  friends  and  family  .  often  being  babysat  on  nights  when  xavier  is  working  .  and  at  16  ,  she  makes  the  decision  to  go  into  pilot  training  .  was  it  in  an  attempt  to  feel  closer  to  their  mother  ?  possibly  .  but  they’ve  always  held  a  fascination  with  aviation  .  

 at  18  ,  she’s  off  to  college  .  it’s  a  ton  of  back  and  forth  between  massachusetts  and  new  york  .  and  during  the  four  years  they  were  away  ,  things  change  .  lari  graduates  and  returns  home  .  xavier  gets  remarried  to  a  wealthy  socialite  in  the  upper  echelons  of  new  york  society  .  a  woman  who  lari  and  their  brother  dislike  .  and  it's  not  for  no  reason  .  she's  vile  ,  disliking  that  xavier's  attention  is  split  between  her  and  his  children  .  which  is  ironic  considering  how  she  has  children   of  her  own  .  and  since  returning  to  the  city  ,  lari's  been  attempting  to  play  nice  with  their  new  step-mother  .

PERSONALITY .

(inspired by this ask the lovely @fourdrinkamy got!)

“Oh!” The Sergeant smiles widely at her phone before looking up, surveying the little group that’s gathered around her. “Do you guys mind if my husband joins us for a minute? He’s just gotten off his shift.”

There’s the typical rushed murmur of agreement and “of course not!” before Amy begins writing something on her phone.

“Who’s her husband?” One of the rookies asks in a hushed tone at the other end of the bar where the new team members had sort of congregated - they’d been a bit too timid to sit closer with the rest of the uniformed officers that Amy had invited out for drinks at Shaw’s after a particularly tough week for them.

“Detective Peralta from the first floor.” One of the less rookie-ish rookies (god they really need a better labeling system for that) answers, much to the first askers surprise.

“The... uh... the goofball?”

Gary a few seats beside them grins. That was probably the nicest descriptor the poor woman could’ve thought of when being reminded of the chaos-made-human that sometimes descended from the first floor unto theirs, bringing with him stories of crazy heists or trying to rope some of them into his convoluted plans during bigger meetings of the precinct.

“Yeah. He’s a bit odd.” Rookie Level 5 (hm, maybe that’s not a good labeling plan either) nods. “Sometimes I wonder what the Sarge sees in him, but she married him, so...” He shrugs.

“Hard to imagine someone as professional and high-strung as Sergeant Santiago going for that kind of crazy.”

“Well, you never know.” Rookie Level 5 (now marked down as bit of a creep he should keep an eye on after that wink and laugh, Gary thinks) answers.

And they really don’t know, he thinks. He doesn’t fault them for that - it took quite a while for him to figure it out too, only presented with the Santiago-Peralta team in ‘professional’ settings that Jake always tried to make as unprofessional as possible while Amy next to him huffed and tried to keep them both in the lane.

They’ll probably understand faster than him, though, given the current setting. The soft shock on all their faces when the sergeant turned up for this casual get-together in a flowery, dark-coloured dress instead of the well-pressed suit they all expected from her even out of uniform had already unsettled their pre-conceived imagie of her a little bit.

Gary’s musings are quickly interrupted by a very loud, very boisterous voice.

“Eyoh! Look at New York’s Finest drinking some of New York’s worst!”

Amy rolls her eyes at him with a fond smile while Jake makes his way through the group, greeting most of them with another joke that only half of them understand, but most laugh at out of politeness, until he settles down next to her. There’s a moment of hesitation in his movements before he leans over to kiss her cheek, as if he’s afraid she might actually pull away in this setting - he’s definitely not afraid to kiss her hello when he visits her at her desk downstairs, but it’s a different feeling to this, all eyes of her squad on them, so he quickly leans back again to grin at them all and make another quip about drink recommendations in this place if they really want to get to know each other, winkwink.

Rookie Level 1 (yeah, it really doesn’t work) scoffs and shoots Rookie Level 5 (damn, it’s kind of stuck though) a look that he repeats with a nod. Peralta is really making sure to cement their image of him for the next few minutes - immediately pulling the situation to him as the class clown that he is, entertaining the closer row of officers near him with some new story from upstairs that only half sounds over-exaggerated. He’s all swinging arms and loud noises and wide grins, and Gary wonders if any of the others are able to make out the little details that belie his persona or if he’s just too aware of them now himself.

The way he’ll turn towards Amy at the end of every story with his grin, as if waiting for her reaction first and foremost, and only continuing when he sees her smile even as she shakes her head. The fact that he remembered all of their names in his comical greetings, and even tries to pull in the rookie group at the end of the bar into the conversation. The slightest hint of a serious face inbetween his rambling, his eyes doing a quick once-over of the whole bar and their group as if to make sure everyone’s still okay - a detective skill he clearly can never turn off.

It’s not much - it’d give away the game if it was any more obvious - but it’s enough for Gary to remember that underneath all the bravado and jokester behaviour, he’s still Sergeant Amy Santiago’s husband, and for a reason.

-*-

That reason shows itself about twenty minutes later, when his first beer is finished and the conversations of the group have broken back into their own areas, talking about their week or about upcoming assignments, sharing academy anecdotes or first-arrest-stories. Gary is sure detective Peralta would happily jump into these talks as well if he only heard them, but there’s no way he’s listening to anything but Amy next to him, a tad too noisy after her second beer as she tells him about something that happened at work today.

Gary tries his best to catch Rookie Level 1′s attention, and diverts it towards the pair with an eyebrow raise and a soft side-nod of the head.

“Oh.” Level 1 (her name is Lisa, he thinks? He needs to check the rooster.) says, quietly, and he nods again. She sees. (She’s a quick one, he really needs an eye on her for future assignments.)

And what she sees is proof enough of what the Sarge sees in her goofball husband, too.

They’ve seem to have gone into their own little bubble after the main attention drifted away from them, talking in hushed tones about their son and how someone had just texted them an update on the babysitting evening. And within that bubble, it almost seems like someone had cut the strings of the muppet-like actions of the Peralta they all know.

His whole body language seems to shift - his shoulders are hanging low as he leans closer and closer to Amy next to him, his face in his hand as he hooks his arm over the backrest behind her, his eyes stuck on her and whatever story she’s telling him about right now. There’s the softest smile on his face, and a shine to his eyes as she animatedly - almost as animated as he usually is - talks between hiccups from the beer she’s drinking a little bit too fast.

The air has gone out of him, but not in a bad way - he’s far more settled than usual, like someone dialed down his usual speed. He still grins and nods and raises his eyebrows high in reactions to what Amy is saying, but he also absent-mindedly reaches over and tucks a stray piece of her hair behind her ear, his hand trailing down her neck for a second after it. Gary’s sure that as it drops down underneath the table, it definitely reaches for hers to hold.

“Yeah”, Lisa (it’s definitely Lisa, he remembers her introducing herself to him a few weeks ago more clearly now) nods towards him, quietly and with a smile. “Yeah, I get it.” as Peralta leans even closer to Amy, whispers something soft into her ear that makes her giggle, and giggle a little more when he presses a little kiss right beside her ear.

He stands up, out of the bubble, and withing seconds the persona is back as he grins at them all.

“Welp, I better take my wife home before I have to carry her home.” He extolls, before - of course - looking down again with a smile. “Just joking, babe, I know you can hold your own when it comes to New York’s Worst at Shaw’s.”

The Sergeant rolls her eyes again, but she also takes his offered arm as she stands up, tells them all to have a good rest of the night and enjoy their weekend off properly, and they could catch the slightest of winks into Jake’s direction from her if they only looked close enough.

He loops an arm around her waist as he says his goodbyes as well, and uses it to both support her and steer her as they leave, Amy clearly a bit less sure on her feet than she usually is. He wraps her scarf around her neck at the clothesrack at the front of the bar, tugs her jacket down after she’s slipped into it with waving arms and buttons the last few buttons for her that her fingers fumble at, and Lisa smiles at Gary as Amy stumbles for the door and is immediately held at bay again by her husband’s soft grip on her arm.

“Yeah, I can see it.” She says, and Gary nods.
