Interview With The Vampire Scrapbook // Part 1

Lyrics from Father by The Front Bottoms

[lexirosewrites]

Okay the one person who had the thing about Eddie painting their kids rooms reminded me of a little small idea I had a while back.

Eddie and Steve are the first in their little found family to get married and mated, before the younger kids even graduate high school. When they announce their engagement Hop offers to clean up the area around the cabin for them to have their wedding and reception. All the kids decide to help with the preparations as a group gift, cleaning the area and doing all the decorations. I think it looks something like the wedding from Breaking Dawn, with lights strung all over the trees and hanging flowers. It fully looks like a fairytale.

Eddie takes all of Hellfire to pick his tux and their suits. Eddie gets a fully black tux and shirt but his tie and pocket square are the sage green he and Steve picked for their color.

Steve brings Robin, El, Max, Joyce, and Claudia to go dress shopping - he had originally brought them to look at a suit but they all saw him glancing at the dresses when he thought they weren’t looking. He ends up picking a simple dress with beautiful butterfly sleeves and lace detailing. Everyone else gets their dresses (except for Robin who managed to find a suit in the exact right color to match everyone else).

They get married and it’s absolutely beautiful, Hop tries to hide that he’s crying but Wayne proudly cries from his chair. When the ceremony finishes the kids yell at everyone to go inside so they can rearrange everything for the reception. Joyce and Claudia help get the food all set up and the clear space for a “dance floor”. Everyone has a great time dancing and celebrating. Jonathan and Nancy were able to come to town in time for the wedding and he takes photos all night, developing them and putting together a scrapbook for them as his gift.

(Now here’s where the previous post made me remember this)

A few months later, Robin and Steve are about to start school in Chicago and they had found a set of townhouses right next to each other to move into. Everyone who is able to comes out to help move the three of them in and then have a house warming party. Most of the gifts are standard house warming gifts: throw pillows, pots and pans, silverware, etc. Except for the gift Will hands to Steve and Eddie. It’s pretty big but not very thick, and surprisingly heavy. When they open it they find a hand painted version of their favorite photo from their wedding. It was during their first dance, holding each other close with their foreheads pressed together, with the largest smiles on their face.

That painting takes a place of pride in their living room.

claudia collecting her victims' last words isn't creepy it's called scrapbooking

[heartwrrm]

louis taking up scrapbooking as a hobby because he wants to keep all his memories in one place where he can see them and physically hold them so he feels less vulnerable to having them manipulated again. even little things—receipts, tickets, business cards. justifying venturing back into photography again “for the scrapbook” when he really just misses it. flipping through the pages and lamenting the absence of claudia in them but finding comfort in imagining her looking through them with him. her diaries, his scrapbooks. just alike. still connected

RE-RE-INTRODUCING: MARLOW STILINSKI

Full Name: Marlow Marie Stilinski

Birthdate: February 22nd, 1999

Hair Color: Brown, then blonde

Eye Color: Blue

Species: Werecoyote, Beta (Bitten)

Family: Claudia Stilinski, née Gajos (Mother, deceased), Noah Stilinski (Father), Miecysław “Stiles” Stilinski (Older Brother), Elias Stilinski (Paternal Grandfather)

Love Interest: Liam Dunbar

Friends: Riley Parrish, Coop Harris, Nixie Baker, Bear Wallace, Tilly Cole, Oz Baker, Nina Simms, Mason Hewitt, Corey Bryant, Scott McCall, Malia Tate, Kira Yukimura, Lydia Martin, Derek Hale

Likes: Horror movies, scary stories, true crime, cookies, singing, dancing, cheerleading, scrapbooking, sunsets, movie nights, animals

Dislikes: Liars, not feeling in control, being treated like a child, people not following her advice, sour candy, loud noises, hot weather

Phobias: Snakes, flying

Style: Jeans and sweaters or blouses, sneakers (she hates uncomfortable foot wear), locket with pictures of her family in it, lazy with her makeup looks, hair up or down depending on the heat

Speech: Californian accent, low-pitch voice, gets loud when she’s stressed or annoyed - otherwise pretty much inside voice only

Physical Quirks/Scars: Climbed over a fence when she was a kid, leg got caught on the metal and still has the scar, her eyes glow blue when she’s in werecoyote mode

Personality: Fiercely protective, loving, selfless, salty, family-oriented, anxious, saracstic

Background: Born and raised in Beacon Hills, Marlow has halways been the baby of the bunch - whether that was at home or in her friend group. She was always in need of a little more attention due to her severe panic attacks and BPD. As a child, she was quiet and withdrawn, using her brother’s outspoken demeanor as a shield whenever she felt she needed to. Marlow’s mother Claudia died when she was seven, prompting the little girl to hide her true emotions from everyone. She toughens up and spends more time with her best friend Mason Hewitt, whom she met in kindergarten. When the two are out on a camping trip with Mason’s family, ten-year-old Marlow comes across a scary man with red glowing eyes. He bites her and suddenly her whole life is turned upside down. The night after her first full moon, she wakes up in the ruins of the Hale house, Derek and Laura Hale there to explain the ropes of being a shapeshifter. After Derek leaves town and Laura is murdered by Peter Hale, thirteen-year-old Marlow is left to fend for herself, continuing to hide her new identity from her loved ones. Then her brothers best friend Scott McCall is turned into a werewolf and she tries to help him navigate his new normal while keeping her own predicament under wraps. She is relegated to research duty, having Mason help her under the guise of making up a story. Two years pass and after losses, battles, and goodbyes, Marlow finally starts attending Beacon Hills High School with Mason. Then she meets the new kid Liam Dunbar, and there is a spark. When Liam is bitten by Scott and turned into a werewolf, Marlow is one more incident away from having an anxious breakdown.

In Memoriam

AO3 Link

Theo and Peter were Stiles’s best friends and when Mrs. Stilinski died, they both broke down crying along with their friend.

Theo remembered and cherished fun summers riding around in Mrs. Stilinski's jeep with their friend Mischief.

Peter remembered Claudia from summers that she spent with his sister Talia, always giving Peter a taste of her newest baking achievements.

Together the two boys helped Stiles put together a special scrapbook with photos they had of and with Claudia. This was their way of making sure no one forgot the beautiful, kind, caring and amazing woman known as Mrs. Claudia Stilinski.

Reviewing Every Animal Crossing New Horizons Villager (Because I Have Fallen Down The Rabbit Hole) Part 4

Chrissy: I am endeared to her face because it looks like she is wearing a mask! Kind of gives me The Stranger energy from TMA. 700 Bells.

Claude: They have done this rabbit dirty. He also looks like he is hiding a few women in his basement. 10 Bells.

Claudia: I need this kind of tiger energy in my life. This is like if a family friendly animated studio was designing a girl tiger versus a boy tiger. 320 Bells.

Clay: I thought at first he looked like a luchador, but then I zoomed in and went "Ah! He's possessed!" 53 Bells.

Cleo: I like her colors and her eyes, but these are her only redeeming traits. 60 Bells, but for you I let her go for 50.

Clyde: Ope, just ugly all the way down, huh? 0 Bells.

Coach: This dude looks like he fell off the ugly tree and hit every branch and the way down. 0 Bells. - I was asked to retract this statement, but I refuse.

Cobb: He is a green pig, but he could be worse. I might be biased because I was told he was a mad scientist and I do love a good feral little man. 200 Bells.

Coco: HONEY YOU ARE MY- ANGGGGGGGGGGEL!!!!!!!! I have loved her since the moment I saw her! Possessed in the best way possible! I will NOT rest until I get her on my island!! SHE IS PRICELESS IN MY HEART!!!! 500,000 Bells. I Will Pay More For Her.

Cole: Wait, wait, they are so cute. They look like they have no clue about anything that is going on. Damn, most of the rabbit villagers are just going to be this charming, huh? I don't think I have enough room on my island for them all :( 2222 Bells.

Colton: All good things must come to an end and seeing this horse truly is the end of a good streak of villagers. He does kind of look like he belongs on Fred Jones' island though if he played Animal Crossing. 30 Bells.

Cookie: Stop looking at me with those big old eyes. The patterning would be cute without the eyes, but not enough to redeem this dog. 60 Bells.

Cousteau: I was going to say he was irredeemable, but then I realized that he kind of reminds me of the frogs from Kipo. 80 Bells.

Cranston: More like Crankston. Gross little man. Gonna put this man's head back into the sand. 0 Bells.

Croque: Go back to the opera where they can't see your face. 0 Bells.

Cube: I keep thinking of those weird ass small penguin animations that I've seen all over tumblr. Do with that as you may. 42 Bells.

Curlos: Ah, this dude belongs on Mabel's island and she would cherish him so much. Personally though, I'm going to have to pass on this man. 10 Bells. (Good luck getting him though, Mabel won't give him up).

Curly: ....This is just motherfuckin' Peppa, ain't it? You ain't as charmin' as you seem to think, Peppa! 20 Bells.

Curt: This is a bear that looks like he either needs to be a wrestler or in a biker club. I can see this dude riding a motorcycle. 20 Bells.

Cyd: Look. I wanted to like him. I wanted to like him so much because I love the colors and his mischievious look. I just can't get past him looking like shit. 0 Bells.

Cyrano: Why does he look like he's a villain from One-Punch Man? I hope he gets flattened soon. 36 Bells.

Daisy: Now that is one cutie patootie of a dog. I really hope I encounter them when I am island hopping just so I can say I met them! Put them in my little island scrapbook. 700 Bells.

Deena: *squints* A duck? Why do they look like a yokai? Either way my lack of trust in them is pretty high! 0 Bells.

Deidre: What secrets are you hiding behind that smile? Where did you hide those bodies? Why is there a strangely shaped red stain on your carpet? 60 Bells.

Del: Mechanical Alligator vibes right here. I am just not digging them. I kind of wish that he was more ugly because then at least he would stick out? 50 Bells.

Deli: JUST IMAGINE ME HISSING AT THE SCREEN SEVERAL TIMES LIKE A REALLY DISGRUNTLED KITTEN. THAT IS HOW I FEEL EVERY TIME I SEE ONE OF THESE UGLY ASS MONKEYS! -500 BELLS.

Derwin: The kids in highschool definately called him "Derpwin" and they were right. 25 Bells.

Diana: Now this is a lovely villager! A good use of the deer design too! I wonder if one of my friends already has her? 620 Bells.

Diva: Horrifying. Ugly. Disgusting. There is a circle of hell just reserved for this Frog. -1000 Bells.

Dizzy: *sigh* Okay, this is literally identical to a different elephant villager that I saw earlier. I feel like I need to barely dignify this guy with a review. 0.50 Bells because he is a rip off.

10 Most Gorgeous 90’s Crushes

The Timeless Temptresses: Where Are They Now? Ah, Carmen Electra! The Baywatch days - where even the beach sand seemed to blush around those lifeguards. And guess what? She’s still hotter than a jalapeño in a sauna at over 40! Is there a fountain of youth or did Carmen strike a deal with the aging devil? Someone needs to investigate. Christina Applegate: From Dumb Blond to Hollywood Bombshell So, you remember Christina Applegate as Kelly Bundy from the "Married with Children" sitcom, right? Yeah, that one – the show that was like a blast from the past that you can’t believe you watched without cringing. But hold on a second, Christina’s no dummy. She’s been out there dropping wisdom bombs like a knowledge ninja. And hey, she fought off breast cancer like a boss. If that’s not a superhero origin story, I don’t know what is. Claudia Schiffer: The 90s Dream Goddess Alright, folks, remember Claudia Schiffer? That name you whispered in hushed tones like a secret code for teenage hormonal urges? Yeah, she was the ultimate 90s babe. I mean, 83.7% of boners were directly linked to her supermodel aura. And guess what? She made more money than you could shake a catwalk at – over $50 million! Looks like walking down runways is a shortcut to making it rain. Michelle Pfeiffer: The Cat's Meow What do you call a Batman movie without a Catwoman in it? A travesty! Michelle Pfeiffer was the original feline femme fatale, slinking around in tight black leather, making even Gotham's dark knight do a double take. Can you imagine Batman fighting crime while dealing with constant distractions from that outfit? No wonder he's so moody. Pamela Anderson: More Than Just a Lifeguard Pamela Anderson – the ultimate proof that if you’ve got it, flaunt it. From the beaches of Baywatch to playing a scantily clad superhero in "Striperella", she knew how to make heads turn faster than an owl with whiplash. And don't even get me started on that celebrity sex-tape scandal – it's like she turned the spotlight into a strobe light. Heather Locklear: Melrose Maverick Melrose Place: the show you either loved to bits or wished it would spontaneously combust. Heather Locklear was the flame-haired drama queen in the middle of it all. She faced criticism for being "out of control" on drugs and alcohol, but honestly, who wouldn't need a little something to cope with the chaos of a Melrose life? Lucy Lawless: Warrior Princess and Beyond Lucy Lawless, aka Xena, the warrior princess – a role that screams "badass on horseback". But wait, there’s more! She teamed up with Bruce Campbell, the "groovy" star from "Evil Dead", proving that kicking demon butt is a job that never gets old. Seriously, drop everything and watch "Ash vs Evil Dead". You won't regret it. Cindy Crawford: The Supermodel Extraordinaire Cindy Crawford, the supermodel who redefined the phrase "jaw-dropping beauty". She was up there on VH1’s "Hottest Hotties of the 90s" list and even made the Men’s Health "100 Hottest Women of All-Time". And hey, she did it without resorting to revealing her lady bits – take notes, Miley Cyrus! Jennifer Aniston: More Than Just "The Rachel" Who could forget Jennifer Aniston as Rachel? Her hairstyle was iconic – it even had its own name, like it was a fancy cocktail or something. And those chilly sets? No bras? Yeah, we know what you mean, Jennifer. But don't worry, we were too busy enjoying your hilarious antics to notice… too much. Sarah Michelle Gellar: Slaying on Screen Buffy the Vampire Slayer – the show that kicked supernatural butts and then had to endure the Twilight fiasco. Sarah Michelle Gellar was the slayer that taught us to fight demons with witty one-liners. Sure, there have been other roles, but to us, she’ll always be the girl with a stick, laying down the stake and the law. And there you have it, folks! Our favorite 90s stars, still shining bright and leaving us with more memories than a scrapbook overloaded with glitter. It's like the past two decades never happened, and honestly, I'm not complaining! 🌟# The Timeless Temptresses: Where Are They Now? Ah, Carmen Electra!

SNAPSHOT.

tl;dr child  gets  born  to  a  family  of  silver-screen  god-kings  on  earth  yet  always  and  quite  stubbornly  aspires  to  a  divinity  of  her  own  making,  forging  her  own  path  despite  the  script  she  was  given  at  birth  —  or,  perhaps,  because  of  the  script  she  was  given  at  birth  aka  shiv  roy  if  she  actually  succeeded  in  going  no-contact

they  call  your  family  the  first  family  of  the  silver  screens  of  india  —  your  only  claim  to  fame,  as  far  as  your  family  is  concerned,  for  what  use  is  royalty  in  a  republic?  you  are  the  heroes  of  a  modern  age,  and  despite  the  thousands  of  years  of  history:  that  has  to  be  enough.    

you’re  one  out  of  two,  meaning:  when  you  were  born,  so  too  was  your  brother.  never  one  without  the  other,  they  used  to  say:  the  prince  and  princess  of  the  reigning  bollywood  royals,  their  most  precious  jewels,  the  inheritors  of  a  legacy  going  on  four  generations.  the  sun  sets,  they  say,  only  to  rise  anew…  and  you,  my  dear,  were  supposed  to  be  the  sunlight  of  a  new  age.

you  get  your  first  role  at  age  six,  learning  lines  in  a  language  you  aren’t  even  fluent  in,  making  so  many  mistakes  until  the  script  gets  changed  for  need  of  time  —  not  that  anybody  complained,  considering  this  whole  project  was  bankrolled  by  your  grandfather  —  and  all  you  end  up  doing  is  just  sitting  there  to  look  pretty.  you  might’ve  called  this  your  first  taste  of  defeat,  but  then  you  remember:  your  brother  was  so  bad,  they  didn’t  even  bother  including  him,  instead  telling  him  that  his  debut  will  be  in  ‘something  far,  far  better.’

(  of  course,  as  with  most  everything  you’ll  come  to  experience  in  life:  you  know  better  than  to  believe  in  that.  )

come  the  passing  of  the  years  comes  more  and  more  roles  —  and  with  it,  a  narrative  that  you  will  come  to  realise  you  didn’t  much  care  for:  someone  asks  you  for  the  first  time,  when  you  are  nine,  how  you  feel  about  working  in  a  film  with  your  own  mother.  your  dolled-up  face,  your  pouted  lips,  your  knit-together  brows,  your  bared  teeth  in  a  snarl-like  grin:  who  said  this  movie  was  about  my  mother?

this  is  the  beginning.  with  every  film  you  make,  they  ask  you  things  that  aren’t  about  you,  but  about  someone  else.  every  question  they  ask,  you  dig  yourself  deeper  in  a  hole  you  don’t  quite  know  you’re  making  —  but,  of  course,  you  know  better  than  to  believe  in  that  —  until  your  family  launches  into  crisis  mode:  enrols  you  in  a  workshop  and  everything,  even  ends  up  taking  out  a  psych  for  you.  is  it  something  we’ve  done  wrong?    they  ask.  did  we  make  a  mistake  somewhere?

but  of  course,  it  doesn’t  work.  nothing  ever  does.  you  are  who  you  are,  and  not  what  made  you.  this,  your  original  sin;  this,  the  very  beginning  of  your  downfall:  you  do  not  even  give  them  the  opportunity  to  cast  you  aside,  instead  proclaiming  to  them,  very  calmly,  that  you  are  going  to  quit  acting  and  instead  pursue  schooling  at  an  institute  somewhere  in  the  swiss  alps.

they  think  it  is  nerves.  they  think  that  the  limelight  has  gotten  to  you.  happens  to  the  best  of  us,  they  say,  and  you  bite  down  on  your  tongue  so  as  not  to  sink  your  teeth  into  their  skin:  you  feel  more  wolf  than  daughter,  more  beast  than  woman.  yet  you  allow  them  to  think  whatever  they  want  to  think.  

(  you  also  allow  yourself  to  think  whatever  you  want  to  think  —  and  isn’t  this  story  far  better,  one  where  the  daughter  gets  all  the  agency,  and  she  makes  her  own  choices?  )

but,  of  course,  you  know  better  than  to  believe  in  that.

the  years  pass,  and  you  don’t  go  home,  and  you  stay  cooped  up  in  your  alpine  boarding  school  and  still  it  is  unavoidable:  they  come  calling  eventually.  they  actually  visit  you.  they  tell  you  what  were  you  thinking ?    do  you  know  how  worried  sick  we  were ?    and  you  will  shake  your  head  and  they  will  ask  you  what  you  mean.  i  didn’t.  think  of  what  you  were  thinking,  i  mean.  in  the  cold,  your  words  make  frost.  i  didn’t  think  of  any  of  you  at  all.

(  but,  of  course,  you  know  better  than  that,  rifling  through  newspapers  updating  yourself  of  your  brother’s  career,  always  jealously  measuring  your  own  abandoned  one  to  his  —  but  it’s  the  stories  we  tell  others,  not  the  truth,  that  lasts.  )

what  were  you  thinking?    they  will  ask  again,  in  a  year’s  time,  in  two,  in  three  —  until  finally  you  stop  fielding  their  calls,  change  your  address,  move  to  a  new  country  and  pay  for  your  tuition  through  your  trust.  why  write  these  horrid  stories?    are  you  alright?  please  call  back.  we’re  worried  sick  about  you.

(  but,  of  course,  in  your  stories:  they  never  call.  or  perhaps  they  never  stop  calling.  perhaps  one  day  you’ll  pick  up  the  phone,  but  only  in  your  own  terms.  perhaps  you  never  do.  the  ending  is,  as  of  yet,  unwritten.  )

but,  of  course,  you  know  better  than  to  believe  in  that.

WANTED  CONNECTIONS.

if  you  see  this,  i’m  still  in  the  process  of  cooking  em  up  so  let  us  simply  go  w  vibes  for  now

[themareverine]

thanks so much for the tag, @permanentlyexhaustedpigeon88! my gosh, where to start?

what's the origin of your blog title? it's my own creation, honestly. everyone calls me mare online and irl, and when i entered my Wolverine era late last year, i was playing around on how to ship my name with Wolvie's and ta-daaa, here we are. it's cool, right? i'm fine i promise

favorite fandoms: i'm a fandom floater, honestly, but i'm pretty engrained in Wolverine righ at the minute. also been known for Transformers, Batman, Jurassic Park.

OTP(s) + shipname: oh gosh, don't ask me! i have a soapbox about female characters in fiction, and on that soapbox, i preach that MSM doesn't understand the balance of women at all. this creates the sticky situation of all female characters being either too much of one thing and forever not enough of another, or just flat in general. or shallow and cliche. or undeveloped and "Mary Sue." so i fix all my woes in FanFiction, with OCs. if I have to choose any pairing, it would be Mel Gibson and Goldie Hawn's characters in Bird on a Wire, and probably Hugh Jackman and Claudia Karvan in Paperback Hero. A strong runner up is Matthtew McConaughey and Kate Hudson in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.

favorite color: any yellow (yes, I loved yellow before Wolverine, ask anyone, move over, Logan!) and shades of pink and gray.

favorite game: board? tabletop? to be safe, I own a Nintendo Switch and @itsgoghtime got me stuck on Stardew Valley, and I also am loving Marvel's Ultimate Alliance 3. I'm really excited about Mario Party Jamboree!

song stuck in your head: A Million Dreams, Hugh Jackman and The Greatest Showman cast, it literally is my alarm and gets me up in the AM.

weirdest habit/trait? i am so normal about printing off pictures and creating makeshift stickers to scrapbook any planner/notebook.

hobbies: writing, reading, watching the same show over and over and over again because I'm unhinged and obsessed...😅 (literally copying @permanentlyexhaustedpigeon88's answer), horses, fitness. i love ATVs and film, too.

if you work, what's your profession? currently I work in healthcare but i come out of a marketing/publishing/writing background.

if you could have any job you wish what would it be? a scriptwriter and director of film, with a side of collegiate teaching. if i had $30k I'd get my graduate degree right now.

something you're good at: writing, so i've been told. working with horses, even though i'm not a trainer, rofl.

something you're bad at: absolutely without a doubt math. making friends. dating.

something you love: discussing story plots with fellow writers, and hearing their ideas for their own works, in turn. <- again, thanks pigeon! i also love my horses and my savior, Jesus Christ. my family. worship.

something you could talk about for hours off the cuff: writing, film, religion, Wolverine, Hugh Jackman, horses.

something you hate: it's such a strong word, I try not to hate anything. i fail a lot. but there are just some fandom ships that i hate, hate, hate.

something you collect: notebooks and planners, film scripts & posters, Breyer horses, stickers.

something you forget: that i am beautiful, even if i can't see it, because people don't say what they don't mean, and when they say it, it's true. and i also forget to give myself grace and be nice to myself.

what's your love language? words of affirmation, acts of service, and shallowly, gifts? i love when people think about me.

favorite movie/show: Jurassic Park. I know i'm not in the fandom, but i don't really associate JP has a "fandom," much anymore, even if my biggest fic to date is in that world, lol. it's too deep for that, for me. it's established and art, i highly respect it. peak for me. it can't get better, i don't think, but i'll enjoy the ride along the way. i have a million others, but this movie i can talk about at length.

favorite food: pizza, next question and quit lookin' at me!

favorite animal: horses, hands down.

are you musical? sadly, no. i love music. i love to sing wild in my car before my imaginatary audience who fangirls over me, lol. but i don't play instruments, and don't sing well. i worship God, openly and freely, and that's the extent of my musicality.

what were you like as a child? embarrassing. i was loud and a brat until i reformed, lol. but emotionally i was, and am, self conscious and struggle to bear my heart before people. i mask a lot with humor and "sunshine." i like to laugh and adventure, and i'll always be loud, but i am a deeply spiritual person. 😅

favorite subject at school? no surprise, english and writing and lit. in college, i student lectured for creative writing, intro to writing, and i adored my scriptwriting class.

least favorite subject? math, of course. i wasn't good at biology and it frustrated me, but i enjoyed it.

what's your best character trait? i have no idea, lol. probably that i like to laugh. ask someone else.

what's your worst character trait? i overthink, a lot. we'll leave it at that, but it comes with crippling self consciousness from childhood and unworthiness.

if you could change any detail of your day right now what would it be? that I have multiple millions of dollars and didn't have to work this job, and that it's me in an active relationship with Hugh Jackman being photobombed by pap.

if you could travel in time who would you like to meet? Jesus Christ, Elijah the prophet, and probably George Washington. Less seriously, Steve Irwin. Hugh Jackman so we could marry and live happily ever after.

Weirdest habit/trait? Oh boy, where to begin… I make random noises, I meep like Beaker to songs, laugh at my own jokes… I’m just a weird person altogether folks.

Hobbies: Writing, visiting places of historical interest, I also used to be an avid reader but then motherhood robbed me of my energy and concentration. I listen to audiobooks more now.

If you work, what's your profession? I write scientific reports and run data tables for an Early Drug Development CRO, which is as fun as it sounds. I’m also a mother. Everything you’ve heard about motherhood is true and also a lie.

Something you're good at: Berating myself. Encouraging others/being a cheerleader. Also writing, I hope 🙈

Something you're bad at: Most things, but especially anything requiring mathematics or physical exercise.

Something you excel at: Being a silly goose 😏thirsting over fictional characters 🙈 and raging at injustices. Erm, I think that’s about it. How tragic for me 😂

Something you love: The community I’ve found here on Tumblr 🫶🏼 period dramas, Dracula, and tattoos (I have none of my own… yet).

Something you could talk about for hours off the cuff: Mormonism, The Wars of the Roses, the people I love.

Something you hate: Injustice, mayonnaise, and corsets improperly portrayed in period drama.

Something you collect: Cuddly toy bats, and more characters to thirst over (I need help).

Something you forget: That motherhood is difficult so to give myself more grace.

What's your love language? I don’t adhere to love languages, but I guess genuine connection over similar interests, banter/in-jokes.

Favorite movie/show: Aaahhh don’t make me choose! It’s always changing.

Favorite food: Galaxy Cookie Crumble, Mini Eggs, Yorkshire puddings, and pizza.

Favorite animal: Bats 🦇

What were you like as a child? Intelligent, saw everything in black and white, more artistic, more outgoing.

Favorite subject at school? History and art.

Least favorite subject? Maths and PE.

What's your best character trait? I like to think I’m kind and understanding.

What's your worst character trait? I can be so incredibly lazy.

If you could change any detail of your day right now what would it be? More sleep. Always more sleep.

If you could travel in time who would you like to meet? Bram Stoker. I’d also love to meet my mum as a young woman, I think we would have had fun.

Clouds loves to take pictures for her scrapbook and her friends are her favorite models 👁👁

The Courier Six duo make an impression where ever they go and never find it difficult to make friends on their travels. But there are a select few who have a special place in their heart that can't be beat - Their companions!🤞

Ronnie and Boone Boone are the youngest humans in the gang and also the ones nearest in age to Kali and Clouds. As a result they tend to hang out the most as a group and are probably the closest friends collectively. Boone is 26, Veronica is 27, Claudia is 28 and Kali is 30 at the time they meet in New Vegas. (Boone is the baby of the group🤭)

Momma Cass is 38, Papa Arcade is 35 and neither can really be bothered for the Kids being dumbasses with their shenanigans. Ronnie always knows better, but can't help herself because she's so chaotic and loves an adventure. Boone definitely can't be bothered like Cass and Arche, but also can't say no to Clouds and doesn't want the headache if he tried to 😂

Kali to my Clouds: @nero-arts 🤞
