IM SURE YOUVE ALREADY EXPLAINED IT SOMEWHERE but.. may i ask about the story in bitter choco decoration. I like those guys :)

you’d be surprised but i apparently have never talked about these particular ocs’ story in detail on this particular tumblr blog. so i shall do just that…. i tried to summarize but it got kind of long oops, as it always does when i talk about my mentally ill ass ocs

so! as u might already know the guys in the video are rikki and william, and the animatic happens from rikki’s pov. rikki is basically the golden child of the family—smart, well-behaved, always keeping her parents satisfied, etc etc. generally she is put under a lot of pressure a lot of the time. and then her family decides to get an insurance child so to speak—just in case rikki fails in life—but they don’t want to go through the trouble of raising another one, so they decide to adopt.

that’s where william comes in, baby! now he is decidedly Not the golden child. he is the problem child. parents thought they could reform him—well, not much to show for that. but him and rikki surprisingly get along, even though they’re opposites. william actually gets someone who cares about him for once and wants him to be okay, and rikki gets someone who wants her to be more bold, stand up to others and consider what she herself wants instead of people-pleasing. he even gets her to make snide jokes and cut her hair. they’re best friends, it’s nice. for a while.

but, none of it is perfect. you know how rikki always seems to be smiling even though she’s clearly not having a good time? and you know all those red eyes that appear pretty much everytime william’s on screen? rikki has so many layers of masks that william never really feels like he actually knows her. and william, even though he mostly wants rikki to do her own thing, can still kind of be selfish and controlling (because he’s a teenager, and traumatized, and scared of losing his best friend, but it doesn’t change the fact that rikki feels the same pressure from him as she feels from their parents).

so this all culminates when they’re in high school and rikki buries herself in work—she wants to secure a good education and a good job so that she can actually get them both out of this shitty abusive household. for the first time in her whole life, she has a Goal that she personally has chosen. she now has someone to work hard for. but she also ends up spending a lot less time with that someone because of her studying, and it eats at william and eats and eats until—it turns out rikki’s hard work has actually paid off. she’s gotten a scholarship, and she can leave for a good university and she’s finally achieved something that she herself has wanted to do and not anyone else. for both of them. for her brother.

except her brother doesn’t react with support, like usual. he’s not cheering her on now that she’s fulfilled her dream and beyond. he just looks betrayed. because they’re best friends. they promised to be there for each other, to get out of this hellhole house together. how could she leave him behind? how is he supposed to make it without her, who is he going to have on his side? william loves her and wants her to be happy but he doesn’t want her to leave.

so in turn—because rikki is a) an avoidant little bitch who would rather masterfully evade conflict than try to have an opinion and b) doesn’t want her brother to hate her forever and not speak to her ever again—in turn, rikki, as always, as second nature, lies. i mean, it’s her dream, it’s something she’s been working towards for years, but she’ll stay. she’ll leave it behind. it makes perfect logical sense to her—best of both worlds: she doesn’t spend the last summer at home with her brother resenting her, and she still gets to actually go to university. it is basically flawless.

all up until, you know, the day comes where she actually has to move out and go to university. and william inevitably finds out that she lied to him. and they fight. it’s not good. it’s not happy. they end up separating on really bad terms, and not talking for the next 7 years because william runs away from home pretty much soon after rikki leaves (it’s not shown in the animatic but he does go MIA, rikki visits home once on holiday to find that her brother is just Gone, no one knows where he is, her parents couldnt give less of a shit, not great all around!!!) then rikki ends up graduating and looking for an easy first job, just to kind of set her foot in Job World.

unfortunately, it is also the exact same easy, convenient job that her brother ends up picking. hoo, boy. long time no see.

SherLiam fics aren't usually something I indulge in because I tend to get annoyed at how many times Sherlock gets the shovel talk in fics (which I know is somewhat canonical - for Louis at least - but that and the fact that I tend to enjoy vers/switch dynamics and there isn't much of that means I don't tend to read stuff for the ship)

- but one thing I do find hilarious about SherLiam is just how utterly besotted William usually is with Sherlock. Meanwhile Louis is two feet behind him staring at the man like he's a dirty sock. It's just so fucking funny.

The sound of crunching snow quiets a little as Ellie slows to a stop to look around. You join her while Joel continues walking ahead, unbothered by whatever remark Ellie is surely about to make.

"Dam." She chuckles to herself, and you sigh, shaking your head. "Get it? Dam. Like, damn."

She points to said dam and continuously glances between you and the structure, waiting for a reaction.

"You know, you are not as funny as you think you are. And you are no Will Livingston, that's for sure."

She huffs. "Yeah, yeah, but who is?"

"What even is it? How does it work?" Ellie looks over at Joel, who has now stopped walking. He stands with one hand on his hip, the other on his gun, waiting. "Think Joel knows?"

"No. But it's fine 'cos I do. It's, uh..."

You briefly remember a rather boring book you had read back in the QZ. It was about rivers, lakes, and all other kinds of water sources around the world. It was a dull read, but you'd gone through most of the more exciting books several times already at that point. The only books left were for studying.

Ellie raises her brows, moving slightly closer. "You don't know either, do ya?"

"I'm just trying to remember. I think it creates electricity, by using the river. Like, the water spins the, uh... oh, the turbines!"

"Water... spinning a turbine..."

"Yeah, and then it's connected to a generator that makes electricity... I think."

"You are such a nerd." Ellie laughs and playfully punches your shoulder.

"Oh, whatever." You give her a shove right back. "I don't even know if that's right."

"You kids comin', or what?" You all shift and start moving again. "Y'all can walk and study."

"Still a nerd."

You snort, and then both of you start to laugh.

The little moment is interrupted when Joel clears his throat and you jump. Both of you had yet to notice that Joel had walked back over to see what was taking so long.

☆•°°•☆°••°☆•°°•☆°••°☆

There's a hint of a smile on his face when he says this, and while journeying on, Ellie continues to ask questions about the books you've read. You tell her more of what you can remember about rivers and the ocean, making it onto the subject of bugs, too. Honey bees, beetles and butterflies; you describe the pictures of the ones that you can recall in your head.

Eventually you both tire of the educational readings and wind up talking about Ellie's comics she's been collecting recently. She makes sound effects and tries to put on different voices as she tells you all about them.

Matthew: *Comes home from a G8 meeting and immediately cuddles up with Katyusha who is laying on the couch, burying his head into her chest*

Katyusha: Do you want to talk about what happened at the meeting today?

Matthew: *muffled* Nuh uh.

Katyusha: Do you want to just keep your face buried between my tits?

Matthew: *still muffled* Uh huh.

i do love canon amy & rory but god, does some part of me wish they really had gone with the idea of the doctor picking up a child as a companion (and then later, that child’s best friend with a huge crush on her.) with the rest of the season really not changing at all, except now it’s amelia pond with an angel in her head killing her and lost alone in the woods. it’s little rory who dies and is forgotten and becomes a toy soldier. if this is going to be a fairy tale, then let it be one. children have never been safe in fairy tales.
