BIO

regan’s mother was never the type to settle down. before meeting morpheus, her longest relationship had been three months. so when the guy seemed commitment-phobic, that was perfect for her. until, of course, she found out she was pregnant. she didn’t want to get married but she was at an age where the idea of motherhood...didn’t repulse her. so she wanted to keep the baby, at which point the father of her child didn’t get down on one knee, he started to explain the kinds of responsibilities she’d face as the mother of his child.

having the child of a god in her womb inflated her ego, which was pretty impressive considering how big it already was. see, regan’s mother was a southern belle without any of the class or manners. she’d breezed through the pageant circuit as a teen, winning a number of titles with minimal effort. her talent was essentially crying on demand and looking pretty while doing it. knowing she’d slept with a god, like an honest to...god felt sort of fitting. like, duh, who else would she have her first child with?

this also led to a brief but intense fixation with shakespeare, who name dropped gods like it was his job, which led to her choosing the name regan from king lear.

she moved to pennsylvania with regan when her daughter was only four years old, because some guy practically begged her to let him take care of her, and she had nowhere better to go. until, eventually, she did, thanks to the world of avon. her mother started selling out of boredom but then it turned out she was good at it, so good that she could easily buy a place once she got bored of her rich boyfriend, and move out with regan.

thankfully, her mother got out of the pyramid scheme before she got in too deep. she was hired by an actual, reputable cosmetics company and given a desk job to work in sales, which she was still a natural at. because she had a full time job now, regan spent a lot of time with nannies...and that’s nannies plural because regan was one of those kids who drove her caretakers to quit on a regular basis.

but not because she was a handful. she was pretty self-sufficient, actually, and totally well-behaved, she was just kind of...weird. she’d leave her room for dinner with all of her clothes suddenly on backwards and say nothing as if it was normal and act confused when her nanny asked about it. she’d stare at the tv when it was off, she’d spend one day only speaking in whispers, she’d write vaguely threatening messages on the mirror with her mother’s red lipstick.

all of this was because regan knew it was scary to adults, which made it fun for her. she wasn’t, like, actually disturbed. well, aside from the dreams she had sometimes. she’d have a dream about a baby bird falling from a nest, she’d watch its chest move for minutes before it died, then she’d wake up the next day and find a dead bird outside the sliding glass doors to the backyard.

for a while she thought they were coincidences. then she thought she was making��things happen in her sleep, and that it was her job to stop bad things from happening, to save every baby bird that asked for help in her dreams. it took her a few years to accept that just because she sometimes saw the future didn’t mean she had any power to change it. she was warned so she could prepare herself, which only made her feel more powerless.

but being regan, she chose to cope with this aspect of her life with avoidance and humor. she doesn’t want to pick and choose what she worries about and what she doesn’t, so she decided a long time ago not to take anything seriously.

for reasons unknown, regan’s mother actually decided to have another child after regan. but she was unconventional, too, hence regan being...the way she is, so she never actually married the father of regan’s half-brother, but they have been together for the past 15 years, so.

her brother is eleven years younger than she is, so in regan’s mind, a baby. whenever left with the task of babysitting him while the two were growing up, it would be regan who suggested ice cream for breakfast and sock sliding around the living room at dangerous speeds.

RANDOM FACTS

i want to v*mit saying this but.....she’s kind of like........the female version of stevesuptic. except for she’s cute <3

her entire twitch account is kind of satirical, like it’s very hard to gauge what her actual personality is. i don’t think her viewers bully her the way they bully steve bc she would bully them back LMAO but they ask her a lot of random ass super weird sometimes borderline disturbing questions and she answers them like it’s normal

she def has weird/creepy drawings whenever playing gartic phone tho /:

ig you could say her channel is like shit posting but make it a streamer. she has a really nice set up and she always looks made up in her streams but then the content is her playing like a cat dating sim for four hours

she’s actually pretty shit at most games that require any level of skill and her following comes entirely from her personality and her Brand ig, she’s just entertaining to watch bc she says and does the most ??? things. like she’s not a gamer girl and doesn’t say she is she just has a twitch and plays games for the attention

also she has a cat named muffintop (best part of the muffin, not the offensive term for a woman’s stomach, though she will say that’s what it means if someone asks) who she regularly posts memes of and like most of her twitch emotes are her cat. you can find examples on her pinterest board lmao

i think it’s pretty hard to get an actual vision out of regan? she mostly keeps those to herself and just lies about her dreams. she’ll just be like, “yeah actually i had a dream you were gonna choke on some oatmeal so stay safe out there.” she’s also only partially sure when a dream is actually about the future.

her like <3 symbol that represents her is butterflies, she has a ton of butterfly shit

POSSIBLE CONNECTIONS

idk if i am requesting a roommate for once, idk if i wanna subject anyone to that

someone naive who believes her any time she says something is Going To Happen, no matter how stupid it is and no matter how many times things simply do not happen??

a bestie because...............................i just feel like she wormed her way into someone’s inner circle and they’re just stuck with her now

OC Meme - Ni’kasi

I was tagged by @pauletta-00​ (thank you! Sorry it took so long, this got lost in my notifs woops shduhdyud)

I’m not gonna specifically tag anybody this time cause it’s been a weird day and I don’t wanna be annoying to anybody, so if you’re reading this and you haven’t been tagged yet and want to (or have already done it and want to do it for another character) then go for it!

I think I’ve only done Aria and Saarai for this one, so here’s Ni’kasi this time! If this is a repeat then my bad, but it’s been a while since I got tagged for this one so I don’t 100% remember who I’ve done already XD

(I will get other screenshots of her one day, I swear. Once Saarai’s gotten to SoR I’ll go back and do Ni’kasi’s class story next XD)

*Disclaimer/reminder: that my ficverse is CANON-DIVERGENT, so while I’ve tried to stay as true and accurate as possible, the dates (and people involved) are not 100% the same as the official canon, particularly where the pre-Valkorion Empire and his takeover of it are involved. If this bothers you, my fic and my blog are not for you and I ask you to politely scroll past, thank youuuu :3

GENERAL

Name: Ni’kasi Ahaszaai (Kas to her sister and husband only)

Alias(es): Darth Occulus, Keeper of the Sphere of Ancient Knowledge, Lady Occulus (after joining the Alliance)

Gender: Female

Age:  Born Autumn, 3739 BBY (110 as of Onslaught in 3629 BBY)

Place of birth: Medriaas, Wild Space

Spoken languages: High Sith, Sith, Basic, Huttese,

Sexual orientation: Heterosexual, demiromantic

Occupation: Sith Lord → Slave → Sith Apprentice/Sith Lord (again) → Darth/Dark Councillor → Advisor for the Eternal Alliance (specialising in ancient artefacts, holocrons and so on)

APPEARANCE

Eye colour: Scarlet

Hair colour: Red-tinted brown (I think it can be called russet but I’m not 100% sure on the semantics so, it’s brown with a reddish tint/undertone USHYUSGYUD)

Height: 6′0′’ / 181 cm

Scars: several, long whipmarks criss-crossed over her back from her time as a slave, as well as two clusters of scar tissue on the back of her neck from shock collar prongs, scar across her left eye (courtesy of mom, when she tried to intervene and stop her from hurting her sister and nephew)

Burns: None, really (that I can think of anyway...)

Overweight: No

Underweight: Formerly, yes. When she was a slave one of the only ways they could make sure she wouldn’t fight back was to keep her as weak and undernourished as possible. She’s gained a healthy muscle tone back now, but she’s not as well-built as she could/should have been as a result of that time. Put her next to her sister and you’ll see she’s very noticably less bulky.

FAVOURITE

Colour: Pale yellow

Music genre: She’d probably be a fan of classical/orchestral type music, the stuff that doesn’t have any real words or singing. Just something to have on in the background to break up the silence while she works without distracting her concentration with lyrics.

Movie genre: Usually more serious sorts of topics, like crime thrillers, murder mysteries etc. if she’s feeling in a somewhat joking mood (which is rare), sometimes something paranormal-horror (like whatever the Star Wars version of the Exorcist or the Shining would be XD), mostly to annoy the resident ghosts in her head of course - especially her mother, who does not appreciate the humour :’ D

Tv show: Documentaries, particularly those on Ancient Sith culture and/or artefacts. She loves watching them and then grumpily pointing out how wrong nearly every point they make is. Talos joins in once he joins the crew, and later when they reunite it’s one of the things she does with her sister often too.

Drink: Tea with no milk. Will also drink black caf if she needs to stay awake, but she definitely prefers tea if offered a choice between the two.

Book: Perhaps most shocking, arts and crafts monthly ‘zines. Ni’kasi does both knitting and sewing/stitching, so she likes to grab new ideas and patterns out of them. :3

HAVE THEY

Passed university: Yes (assuming graduating the Sith Academy counts as uni)

Had sex: Yes

Had sex in public: Yes (well, not in front of other people specifically, but in a room at the Academy that anybody could have potentially walked into at the time, yes. So I’m counting it hahaha)

Gotten pregnant: Yes (though not until much later, between the end of SoR and the start of KotFE)

Kissed a boy: Yes

Kissed a girl: No

Gotten tattoos: No

Had a broken heart: No

Been in love: Yes

Stayed up for longer then 24 hours: More often than she should. “Kas, come to bed” “No, I’m WORKING” “You’ve been awake for 2 d a y s straight please come to bed” is the most common argument she ever has with Andronikos. XD

ARE THEY

A cuddler:  On occasion, not an outright “yes”, but she’s quite happy to cuddle with Andronikos at night when they sleep (when she does go to bed, see immediately above), also pretty huggy with both her sister and her nephew, but not so much anyone else.

A kisser: Yes, but only with her husband and never in public. She’s not one for glaringly-obvious-in-your-face PDA.

Scared easily: Depending on the situation, sometimes. Leave her locked in a room for longer than 3 minutes and you’ll soon have her flipping the fuck out and trashing it trying to get out. Same with being in water, she is not a fan and she will f r e a k. In terms of threats to her life, though, not really. She’s been through it all, being hit, thrown around etc. doesn’t phase her.

A virgin: No

Jealous easily: Yes. Oh yes. Do not touch her man. She will vibe check you into next year. XD

Trustworthy: Mostly, yes. If she gives you her word, she’ll keep it (provided you don’t stab her in the back first, then you’ll get what’s yours). If you’re a Jedi though...run. She does not like Jedi. At all.

In love: Yes

Single: No

RANDOM QUESTIONS

Have they harmed themselves: No

Thought of suicide: No

Attempted suicide: No

Wanted to kill someone: Yes. Tsâhis, Ffon, Harkun, Zash, Thanaton...she has a loooonggg list. XD Many of which have, in fact, met their end.

Rode a (space) horse: Once, yes. Didn’t care for it, she’d much rather take a speeder hahaha.

Have / had job: Uhhh, being a slave counts right? Probably had various different jobs during that. Then of course as a Dark Councillor once she gets that far,

Have any fears: Losing her sister, small, enclosed spaces (especially being locked in them), loss of control, (deep) water/drowning

FAMILY

Sibling(s): Twin sister, Saarai (Empress of the Eternal Alliance, alive as of 3629 BBY)

Parents: D’leah (mother, killed by Inquisitors in 3689 BBY), Kissai (father, killed by Tenebrae/Vitiate in 3729 BBY), Vowrawn and Abaron (adopted fathers - Vowrawn is her biological uncle, but after both her parents died (and they were reunited when Ni’kasi became a full Sith again), the twins were adopted by Vowrawn and Abaron)

Children: eventually has twins, a boy and a girl named Nawâ and Hyala, with Andronikos, and in the Zephyrverse with Jask she has three children, their eldest daughter Nu’ala, and then twin boys Râzu and Rijker

Pets: A miniature sleen named Kahri (not as big as a standard sleen, Kahri is about the size of a water monitor instead, and very much a lap-lizard (though she can and will defend herself and Ni’kasi and Andronikos if she feels it necessary)

[vjjeons]

whaddup!! i’m acacia (satan). i’m twenty years old, i use she/her pronouns and i hail from the pst timezone! i’m super excited to be in a lil ol’ group again because i haven’t been in one since like… idk?? but enough about me — let’s get to the good stuff aka my girl, veronica jeon. it gets pretty lengthy, so if you just want the overall version of it just scroll to the very end! anyways, if you like this, i’ll take it as an invitation to IM you for plots, so be careful!! ♡

jennie kim + cis female + she/her — have you met veronica jeon? they are a twenty-one year old artist/barista known as the philophobic. a pansexual scorpio, they are independent + bold, as well as stubborn + cynical. their soulmark is a crescent moon on the left ring finger, and they can feel the emotions of their soulmate.

BACKGROUND + TRIGGER WARNINGS: abuse, death, drugs

to kick things off, veronica grew up with just her mother around. her father had always been MIA. so, she doesn’t have a lot of memories involving him. therefore, her mother dated an array of men. often times neglecting her daughter, with the exception of the times she brought in successful report cards.

when she was thirteen, her mother married a man who physically abused veronica any chance he had. especially when mrs. jeon started cheating on him. so ronnie recoiled around her art for a few years.

being alone as an only child, she had to keep herself entertained. she started off by doodling with just a pencil. but, eventually expanded with acrylic paints and water colors. thus ultimately discovering her love for the arts!! 

she isn’t exactly sure how she’s going to find a successful career path through her beloved hobby. which is why she picked up her job as a barista to make some actual cash flow.

when veronica turned sixteen, she thought of tracking down her father in hopes of reuniting with him. this lead her to her grandmother’s house. who eventually had to break the news that her father had died from a drug overdose before she was born.

though, the news was shocking. it didn’t leave her feeling empty. instead, she found something better — her grandmother. she instantly connected with the woman and eventually found herself making her grandmother’s home as a sort of safe haven.

her grandma even supported her with her arts. buying her any supplies she needed and giving her suggestions on places she can find more muse. basically fulfilling the mother role veronica desperately needed.

but one day while visiting, the woman had passed in her sleep. this took a toll on ronnie considering how attached she became to her grandmother and her home. she would have to return back to her mother’s and her step-father. when she went back, the man attempted to abuse her again. however, she ratted him out. ultimately sending him to his imprisonment.

once she turned eighteen, her mother had packed up her things and left the girl behind. though, ronnie was fazed by the woman’s actions. nor did she feel any lose considering how little she cared about the other.

but good things do happen to v! one day she received a letter explaining that she inherited her grandmother’s fortune. (which she often uses to pay off her apartment bills.) along with a small journal with letters and locations to keep veronica on the right path. to stray away from the hatred and negativity and turn those emotions into something beautiful.

PERSONALITY + RELATIONSHIPS

PERSONALITY: she is charming, creative, and witty. however, she can be quite cynical, stubborn, and reserved. she has that tell it like it is personality. she just calls it likes she sees it. even if she’s not exactly right. she’s witty and intelligent. she’s very particular when it comes to most things. she wants things done correctly. so she often runs by the quote, “if you want things right you gotta do it yourself.” she doesn’t like relying on others to get things done when she knows she could do it faster and better. a little bit of a ocd queen. she’s one of those people that set their mind to something and goes through with it until the end. she has a way with words. her silky soft voice makes it easy for her to manipulate people. (unless you’re close to her, then they can see past the bullshit.) but don’t get her talking about feelings. because you’re gonna just hear crickets if you do that. she’s sort of an introvert. over the years, veronica had to work hard to become the person she is today — someone who is hopeful, who sees art and beauty everywhere, even in the ugliest parts of the world..some days, it’s a little harder, but she never gives up. she’s slowly growing out of her tough head of hair and morphing into a young woman so beautiful over the years, but also at times, terrifying?? self destructive?? even if she’ll never let anyone see her deteriorate her insides sigh. basically she’s a hot mess. but she tries her best to hide that shit. yeye sweg.

when it comes to FRIENDS veronica can always use some of ‘em. she possess the qualities of a good friend loyal, honest, trustworthy. however, she can be quite pessimistic. which might be a reason why she doesn’t have as many friends. once her mind is set to think a certain way it’s hard to persuade her to believe otherwise. she’s the type of friend to listen to your problems, but be prepared to listen to her unwanted opinions – all of them. she’s also the type to put a friend in check when they need it. she thinks of it as trying to convince them to see the bigger picture. first impressions is something she might not be very good at. while she isn’t exactly the definition of rude, she tends to not filter then things she says. overall, i would say that she might just need a handful of friends, a whole bunch of acquaintances, and her a ride or die.

please flood her with ENEMIES. i know for a fact that she has these. being so boldly opinionated and all. you know this girl has more than enough haters. sometimes she has some very evil intentions. she’s vengeful and irrational. but, don’t get me wrong. she’s not pure evil. veronica does have some good intentions, she leans more to the chaotic evil side. deep deeeeep deeeeeeeeep down the girl is trust issue central when it comes to letting people in. she can’t help it. she has abandonment issues thanks to her parents. therefore, she might come off as standoff-ish to new people. she keeps her circle tight. so maybe they think she’s cliquey? or she could have pushed people away. she’s like that one rihanna meme, them: you can’t just cut people off. ronnie: *holds a pair of scissors* she doesn’t have problem with letting people go. so maybe people think she’s a bitch because, “how could you just drop our five year long friendship like that.” and she’d just shrug. but really, she’s hurting beyond repair and will go home crying while eating a thing of ben & jerry’s chunky monkey. and there’s always that possibility where a friendship just didn’t work out. maybe they just stopped having time for each other and now it’s just mad awk. whatever it is, an enemy would b beaut.

as for LOVERS. veronica is a fucking cynic. love ain’t real and life is cold. she’d rather just be alone and happy than in a relationship and suffering. she sees so many people around her settle for less. (her mother being a prime example of that.) especially when she’s giving advice for friends. she doesn’t think people should be so easily manipulated by the concept of love. she knows there’s a difference between wanting someone and wanting to be with someone. and in her eyes, most people only settle for the sake of companionship. it’d be a hard mission to win this girl over. but not impossible. she’s definitely been on a few dates and had a couple of relationships. though most ended quickly due to the realization she only fell for their smooth talking and nothing more. 100% dabbles in the quick hook ups for the sake of fulfilling those needs. though, if the right person were to come along… she’d be loyal to them, completely devoted to just them.

WANTED CONNECTIONS

sooooo, my lazy ass actually found the power to make a RELATIONSHIPS PAGE. peep it, tell me what you think. if you can’t find something your muse fits, throw whatever ideas you have right at me! i’m so down for whatever.

MISCELLANEOUS

in a nutshell, she’s an angel with a halo unbalanced with horns, not a devil but not a saint either?? kind yet has a backbone. softer than what she seems like. humorous and witty though understanding. mistrusting but willing to let loyalty speak. veronica is a hot mess dealing with personal issues by lashing out on those around her. she’s loyal, but manipulative. opinionated, but easily offended. intelligent, but sometimes argumentative. she’s a bit of a feminist. trusts no bitch. but if you’re her friend, she’s chill as fuck. though, she’s a bit hesitant when it comes to making new friends. since she’s likes being a lame outcast. but really — she just doesn’t know how to process her good thoughts into words. she’s a barista and a tortured artist. she’s independent, hardworking, and determined. muse inspo for her: kat stratford (10 things i hate about you), samantha borgens (stuck in love), michelle (spider-man homecoming), and a hint of blair waldorf (gossip girl). anyways, give her girl scout cookies and she’ll love you til the end of time.

congratulations ! you made it to end ! if you read all of this… i love you. i only ever write so much bc… it gets me in character lmao. also, i wrote all of this the second i woke up. so don’t mind the grammar mistakes and what not. HENNYWAYS… i would really love to plot with everyone. so just slide into my DMs and we can get things started!! luv u *blows a kiss*

If they had a kid meme....All of Snowing's brood from Scrabble?

Haha, I figured I may get this. So, as I said in the epilogue, they ended up having a total of 6 kids. I just think that Snowing breeds like rabbits and would probably end up with such a large number.

Name: Emma Ruth Nolan (20 years old)

Gender: Female

General Appearance: Blonde hair, green eyes. When she was a baby, Mary Margaret never understood why she kept spitting up all over her dresses…then Emma got older and refused to wear anything with a skirt, pink or sparkly. She tends to wear flannel shirts, jeans or tank tops and leggings. When she was 16, she got a red leather jacket for her birthday and she has barely taken it off since.

Personality: A firecracker that loves to get into trouble. She learned how to pick locks at 15 and has had a few minor run-ins with the law. However, deep down, she really does just want to help people. Sometimes, she just doesn’t end up doing it in the best way.

Special talents: She’s an incredible artist, though she doesn’t really want to do anything with it. She’s currently in college for criminal justice, just like her dad originally studied.

Who they like better: She loves both of her parents the same, though she is definitely a Daddy’s Girl. He gets her the most and they spend a lot of time together. However, she ends up going to Snow for things like dating or really serious topics, since her dad is so protective. 

Who they take after more: She’s a mixture of both of her parents in terms of looks and personality.

Personal head canon: When she’s 6 years old, she asks her parents if she has to marry a boy when she grows up and they tell her “Of course not”. She comes out as bisexual at 13 and is currently dating her childhood best friend, Ming Lucas, the daughter of Ruby and Dorothy. (For those wondering, yes, Ming is meant to be a modernized version of Mulan.)

Face claim: Obvious Jennifer Morrison when she’s a little older, but for right now…Britt Robertson (a face claim invented by @loboselinaistrash)

Name: Neal Robert Nolan (17 years old)

Gender: Male

General Appearance: Dark brown hair and blue eyes. Unlike his big sister, he loves dressing up and is typically seen in polo shirts and khakis. He’s the only one of his siblings to go to a private school about 15 minutes outside of Storybrooke, so he also wears a uniform.

Personality: A pretty serious, quiet kid. He likes to stay out of trouble, though he will help out a friend in time of need. He really loves reading and you can normally find him with his nose in a book.

Special talents: He’s super smart, at about genius level, which can be a bit much for him. He’s already gotten a full scholarship to Yale University in Connecticut and can’t wait to go. He wants to major in journalism.

Who they like better: He’s really close with Mary Margaret, since they both have a love for books. He doesn’t have a favorite, though. 

Who they take aftermore: He mostly looks and acts like Mary Margaret, though he has his father’s eyes.

Personal head canon: When Emma came out at 13, he realized that he really never had any interest with girls. However, he didn’t end up coming out of the closet until he was 16. He hasn’t met anyone really worth getting serious with yet, though, as college is his main priority.

Face claim: Logan Lerman

Name: Charles James “Charlie” Nolan (16 years old)

Gender: Male

General Appearance: Blonde hair with one blue eye and one green. He doesn’t really have a set style.

Personality: Really kind to everyone, like his other siblings, just wants to help out. He’s not very outgoing nor is he really shy. He has a set group of friends and is okay with that.

Special talents: At 14, Mary Margaret taught him, her old favorite past time of shooting a bow and arrow. He’s since started an archery club at school and is quite good.

Who they like better: He’s definitely closer to Mary Margaret. He and David are going through a bit of a rough patch in his teen years, because he thinks he’s just too protective. They’ll get over it, though.

Who they take aftermore: He mostly looks like his dad, despite having one eye that matches his mom’s.

Personal head canon: He was diagnosed with ADHD as a child, which is why Mary Margaret decided to teach him archery.

Face claim: Dominic Sherwood

Name: Finn Cole Nolan (13 years old)

Gender: Male

General Appearance: Dark hair and hazel eyes. Also doesn’t really have a set style, his parents pick out most of his clothes when they go shopping, because he could honestly care less.

Personality: Take the title of class clown and bump it up a few notches. He’s not that great in school and covers up for it by constantly trying to joke around. More often than not, it lands him in detention, which drives his parents crazy.

Special talents: He’s really good at video games and if it were up to him, he’d play them all day.

Who they like better:  He loves both of his parents equally, but tends to get along better with David. As now the vice principal of the junior high/high school, she doesn’t understand why he keeps landing himself in trouble.

Who they take aftermore: He looks like his mom for the most part, doesn’t really act how either of them ever did.

Personal head canon: Despite his parents’ disapproval in his behavior at school, they tend to be protective to how others perceive him. The first time Mary Margaret nearly bit the head off a teacher for calling him “unfixable”, he was really shocked. She explained that even if she doesn’t agree with his actions, no one talks bad about her kids and that there’s a way to help and ways to just make things worse.

Face claim: Zachary Gordon

Name: Genevieve Rose & Hannah Rachel Nolan (6 years old)

Gender: Female

General Appearance: Blonde hair and blue eyes. Mary Margaret finally got her little girls that she could dress up in whatever she pleased, they really love dresses and the like. They’re also in ballet, so that was a whole production. Emma isn’t even jealous, they just find it cute.

Personality: After Finn, they are the surprised good girls that normally stay out of trouble for the most part. Though, Emma claims that their cuteness probably masquerades what they’re really up to.

Special talents: None, really. They’re only 6. They show to be really smart like Neal, but it’s too soon to tell if they’ll end up being geniuses.

Who they like better: They cling to both of their parents at all times. Though, they really look up to their big sister Emma most of the time.

Who they take aftermore: They look exactly like David, with Mary Margaret’s personality and smiles.

Personal head canon: They were the surprise babies. After Finn, they thought they were done, but then Mary Margaret got pregnant. It was an even bigger shock that she ended up pregnant with twins at 42 years old. Her pregnancy was high risk and they were born 2 months early, but are now completely healthy. Since then, Mary Margaret has gotten her tubes tied. David had honestly thought the twin gene had skipped them, since their other babies were singletons, but it turns out that life worked out differently than they planned.

Face claim: Mia and Ella Allen

The Hipster's Guide to Classic Country Music

The Hipster's Guide to Classic Country Music

Let’s face it…if your mountain man beard, microbrew fetish, and pipe collection are no longer enough, classic country music can help you get to the next level of hipster (so can a pair of Wrangler jeans). My name is DJ Staci, the Track Star, and I grew up on country music. I lived on a 5-acre llama ranch just outside of Seattle during the grunge era…do you see how there’s a hipster seed in there? I knew I was not your standard redneck when, at 14, my dad’s hunting drew me towards vegetarianism (celebrating 26 meat-free years now). At 18, I pierced my nose and moved to southern California where I could eat tofu, get feminism tattoos, and vote for democrats in a diverse, shame-free environment…but that country music seed definitely grew roots throughout my childhood. In fact, during my 20s, I escaped my days of drinking expensive juice and visiting organic farmer’s markets by honky tonkin’ every week. I would go line dancing at the Brandin’ Iron Saloon in San Bernardino (the biggest & best honky tonk a.k.a. country bar west of Gilley’s…and watch John Travolta & Debra Winger in “Urban Cowboy” if you don’t understand either of those references).

  Memes from We Hate Pop Country

  Unfortunately, country music withered up and died after the 2000s. After DJing at the world’s largest country music festival (Stagecoach–the country cousin of Coachella), I had to stop listening to country music on the radio. The so-called country you hear on the radio today is known as “pop country” by country music purists (those of us who prefer classic country or “real” country). The artists who “ruined” country music are people like Taylor Swift, Sam Hunt, Florida Georgia Line, Thomas Rhett, & Luke Bryant (and many others). Follow “We Hate Pop Country” on Facebook to learn more.

If you like “Wake Me Up” by Avicii, “Honey I’m Good” by Andy Grammer, “I Will Wait” by Mumford & Sons, “The Country Death Song” by the Violent Femmes, “Easy” by Sheryl Crow, “Wish I Knew You” by the Revivalists, “Wagon Wheel” by Old Crow Medicine Show, or Philip Phillips, classic country will be a great fit. If watching the movie Walk the Line turned you into a Johnny Cash fan, rest assured there is plenty more music like that out there. If you resonate as a defiant outsider or a feminist or a government-hating pothead, classic country music welcomes you with open arms! Classic country is outlaw music–pure and simple. It was created by people who knew they were on the outskirts of mainstream society and unshakingly flipped it the bird à la Johnny Cash at San Quentin (below).

  Did you know Loretta Lynn, who sang the feminist anthem “The Pill,” & Jack White from the White Stripes, who also has some killer bluegrass tunes, created an album together? Did you know Johnny Cash has covered songs by Nine Inch Nails and Depeche Mode? Have you heard Lady Gaga’s country roads version of “Born This Way?” Did you know Beyonce has a kick ass collab with the Dixie Chicks (the girl-power Texas band who was banned from country radio for saying they were ashamed that George Bush is from their home state) called “Daddy Lessons”? Did you know the black lead singer of Hootie & the Blowfish bailed on the band so he could start a solo country music career (country fans know him as Darius Rucker)? Did you know when I DJ classic country parties, I have to ask the client if swear words are OK?

Do I have your attention now? I thought so. Let’s continue 🙂 You’ll love the country artists as much as you love their music–I promise.

  THE KING OF COUNTRY MUSIC

First, let’s start with the forefather of all country music kick-assery: Hank Williams. Hank signed to MGM Records in 1947 and his twangy anthems changed country music forever. He was famously fired by the Grand Ole Opry in 1952 after one of many no-shows. He lived a turbulent life that his son Hank Jr sings about in his cornerstone song “Family Tradition.” In true rock star style, Hank Sr. died of heart failure brought on by prescription drug abuse and alcoholism in 1953. Hipster-friendly Hank Williams songs include:

I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry

Hey Good Lookin’

Jambalaya (on the Bayou)

Tear in my Beer

Your Cheating Heart

  TOP 125 CLASSIC COUNTRY SONGS FOR HIPSTERS

Pour yourself some Popcorn Sutton’s Tennessee White Whiskey (that’s legal moonshine for you city slickers) & get ready for some serious drinkin’ music free of “Friends in Low Places,” “Achy Breaky Heart,” “Boot Scootin’ Boogie,” “Old Town Road,” and “The Git Up.” I’ve includes lots of notes & trivia about the playlist songs because we hipsters can’t just enjoy music in a vacuum…we like to sound like a seasoned expert when putting on a playlist for friends, yes? I’ve included standards as well as a number of “B sides” that will even impress country music enthusiasts…you know the kind of people who still say “Country Western.”

When Jr sings, “Why do you drink?” The crowd shouts back “To get drunk!” When Jr sings, “Why do you roll smoke?” The crowd shouts, “To get high!” When he sings, “Why must you act out the songs that you wrote?” The crowd shouts, “To get laid!”)

    There are a few current country artists with that classic country sound: Chris Stapleton, Brothers Osborn, some Miranda Lambert (try “Gunpowder & Lead” or “Little Red Wagon”), or Cody Jinks.

If you’re afraid country music is too white, straight, or conservative for you, check out Little Big Town’s “Girl Crush,” Maddie & Tae’s “Girl in a Country Song,” the Dixie Chicks’ “Goodbye Earl,” Los Lonely Boys’ “Heaven,” Kacey Musgraves’ “Follow Your Arrow,” Big & Rich’s “Love Train,” Garth Brooks’ “We Shall Be Free,” John Anderson’s “Seminole Wind,” or anything by Charlie Pride, Cowboy Troy, k.d. lang, or Freddie Fender.

If you enjoy a good DJ mix, I’m not the only one doing creative things with country music–check out DeeJay Silver, DJ Sinister’s Country Fried Mix, VDJ JD, DJ Bad Ash, or DJ Hish (who I was on the roster with at the Stagecoach Festival and the Moonshine Miles Festival).

Film enthusiast? In addition to watching Johnny Cash’s biographical Walk the Line, you can also try some of these country cult classics: Coal Miner’s Daughter (about Loretta Lynn), Urban Cowboy (with John Travolta & Debra Winger), Pure Country (starring George Strait), Sweet Dreams (about Patsy Cline), Eight Seconds (with Luke Perry)…as well as anything starring Dolly Parton (like 9 to 5 or Steel Magnolias) or Kris Kristofferson (like A Star Is Born or Blade). Dwight Yoakum has a few famous cameos as well (like Sling Blade or Crank). But the real question is: are they “acting” or just “acting natural”? Once you understand that reference, you officially get a gold star in the hipster country music Olympics!!! (Leave me your thoughts in the comments below.)

If you enjoyed the Hipster’s Guide to Classic Country Music, I urge you to explore bluegrass and folk music. And, yes, I know not every “staple” classic country jam is on the list (again, comment below). I also have my Guitar-Infused Country & Classic Rock Wedding Cocktail Hour Playlist and Ultimate Bluegrass Wedding Cocktail Hour & Dinner Music Playlist you can scope out. Some say “crank it up,” but, around here, we say “Hank it up!” Enjoy your hip classic country tunes!
