#MAU: Chloe Curious

[iwatm-askblog]

Hi,Back with more questions

1 Does this comic series have an overarching story where characters grow and develop or is mostly episodic?(Just curious)

2 Who’s your favourite duo in the series like which two characters do you think have a fun dynamic(personally I’d go with Amy and Chloe,they definitely give me sister vibes)

3 Just curious but Are any of the characters in the comic autistic?(I know that sounds like a completely random Question but as someone who has Asperger’s I’m just genuinely curious,If I had to guess who likely has Autism I’d say ether Shelly or Kendall but I could be entirely wrong)

And I know you get This a lot but I really liking your I was a teenage monster comic series it’s just very fun,creative and I can tell you’ve really thought about the characters and story well and it’s nice to See a Fellow creative thinker(I also have my own Ideas for Comic series but there mostly just ideas nothing more)

It's definitely overarching; the characters will develop for sure, that's one of my favorite things to in a story!

Man that's hard to answer, I don't know if I can. I try to set it up where each character could have a unique dynamic with any other character, so there's a lotta potential. Kendall and Shelley is fun bc they're so similar but different; Amy and Chloe is good bc yeah, I'd say their very little sister/big sister coded; Chloe and Mara, bc they're so different and Mara likes messing with her; Amun and Chloe bc he's a slacker and she's more uptight, but they're both the most "mature" of the group; Amun and Shelley bc they're similar in personality but they differ on magic vs science; Mau and Shelley bc I like that Shelley is like Mau's little friend; Azra and Shelley, bc they hate each other but Azra is secretly jealous of Shelley; and Azra and Chloe bc they also hate each other but they've hated each other for longer, and Chloe is easy to mess with

Another hard one to answer. I feel like some characters maybe have some symptoms of it (mainly Shelley), but tbh I don't know if I want to confirm that she/anyone is definitely autistic - it wasn't really my intent going in, and I don't want to misrepresent a community bc I didn't commit to it. I'm certainly not against having an autistic character, and if people on the spectrum can relate to the cast in some (or many) ways, then that's awesome. But I don't wanna diagnose any characters atm, since again, it wasn't my intent, and I don't want to disrespect or misinterpret anybody (also thank you for the kind words, and the questions ❤️)

It’s Friday evening so Mickey invites Chloe over for a date.

I thought the date might be doomed a bit when she rolled a want to get married to Chester shortly into the date.

In the end I had nothing to worry about. The date was a dream date even if Chloe left while Mickey was asleep.

Except maybe this...I locked this for now but we’ll see if Mickey proposes to her or not next round. Right now he seems really head over heels for her but he also rolled a want for 2 loves after the date was over.

Hey everyone! I know I haven’t posted on here in forever, but I was going through some old notes of mine on my phone and came across this old piece of work that never found the light of day. Figured I’d let you all give it a read. I tried to fix any grammar mistakes, but there’s probably still a few. I also have a second chapter that’s pretty much done as well, just sitting there collecting dust. Hope you enjoy it! Let me know what you all think!

Bella Bonding Survival 101

This was not going to end well.

Beca just knew it.

Every time the Bellas do team bonding, something always goes wrong. For example, during their first year together, the girls decided to have their first official bonding session at the city park close to Barden.

Chloe and Aubrey were setting up everything they brought for a picnic later on, while Jessica and Ashley found a place beside a tree, cuddling with a book in each of their hands. Beca could be found sitting down with her back against a tree, headphones on and eyes closed, not having anything to do, since she wasn’t allowed to bring her laptop along, due to a certain redhead’s insistence of needing to enjoy nature and maybe Aubrey’s threat of ‘pitch’ing the laptop far, far away. Amy, Stacie, and Cynthia Rose were down a little ways walking along the side of the city pond, Amy seeming to take an interest in mocking the geese nearby. Lilly was nowhere to be seen, although Beca swore she saw her in a tree earlier shooting acorns at squirrels.

A few minutes go by when Beca feels a presence beside her. After quickly debating whether or not to acknowledge who was there, the brunette decides to open her eyes just in case its the she-demon herself there to take away her music as well. Luckily enough, she is greeted by a smiling Chloe looking down at her. Not even needing to know what the redhead was wanting, Beca pats the ground beside her offering an invitation. Chloe’s smile grows even wider, making her nose crinkle and plops down beside the small brunette immediately grabbing one of Beca’s earphones for herself. Being use to Chloe and her rule for no boundaries, Beca let’s her. As they sit there, the small brunette starts to zone out only to practically jump into the air due to a loud scream, followed by shouting.

Gathering her bearings, Beca looks down to the pond to see something out of a circus and couldn’t help but to laugh. It seemed that the geese that Amy was mocking had finally had enough and was chasing the trio around the pond.

Stacie could be seen throwing one of her shoes, completely missing the target while Cynthia Rose and Amy made their way around the pond, all the while Amy could be heard shouting, “Vertical running! I’m vertical running!”

The rest of the girls laughed as they watched the chaos happen in front of them. They all stopped though, when they noticed the three Bellas heading their way with the geese right behind them.

Eyes widening, Beca scrambles to her feet, helping Chloe up, joining the rest of the Bellas and making a run for it.

That day ended with them soaking wet and smelling like wet dog.

Another time for team bonding was when the Bellas were preparing for the World Championships.

Granted, it was technically Beca’s own fault for not paying attention to where she was going. In her defense, she was too heated to take in her surroundings.

That day ended with Beca in a bear trap.

Don’t get her wrong, team bonding is fun and she loves the Bellas, but Beca is starting to see a pattern and she’s growing weary of it.

That’s why when the idea of skydiving as a team bonding exercise was introduced by none other than Aubrey, Beca immediately shot it down.

“No. Absolutely not,” the small brunette shakes her head, not wanting to hear another word.

“Aww, but Beca, imagine the bonding time we could have,” Chloe pouts throwing her best puppy-dog eyes at the brunette. “Most of us haven’t seen each other in months and I think this would be a perfect way to catch up, especially while on tour!” The redhead exclaims while also taking Beca’s hand in her own, squeezing it.

Looking between Chloe and the rest of the girls, she’s met with pouts from all sides. “Fine.” She mutters. She’s quickly engulfed in a hug by Chloe making her blush then someone in the distance yells ‘Group hug!’ making all the Bellas rush in, crushing Beca further into her best friend.

Once the hugging fest was over, the girls decided to grab dinner at a small French Bistro they saw a few days ago while they were out shopping, getting a break from the USO tour. They all get back to their hotel in one piece, the girls splitting up.

Amy, Emily, and Flo head over to the bar, Amy already calling for shots all around. Jessica and Ashley head over to claim a table big enough for the gang. Lilly and Cynthia Rose started a game of pool, Lilly looking like she won the jackpot. And Chloe disappears once she sees Chicago, saying that he could get them free access to skydiving. Beca frowns slightly as she watches Chloe run into Chicago’s arms. An arm is draped around her shoulder pulling her focus away from the scene playing out in front of her.

“Keep frowning and your face will be stuck like that,” Stacie smirks.

Shrugging the taller brunette’s arm off her shoulder, Beca glares, crossing her arms. “Thanks,” she deadpans her face still impassive.

“I think it’s been permanent since freshman year,” Aubrey remarks making her way over and hands over a drink to each of the brunettes.

“Do I even want to know what’s in this?” the small brunette asks cringing catching a strong whiff of alcohol.

The tall blonde just smirks. “You looked like you needed it.”

Beca rolls her eyes. “Shouldn’t you guys be over at the bar or something?” motioning her hand towards the bar where Amy was giving Emily shot after shot of god knows what. She should probably stop them, but Stacie grabs her arm and starts pulling her over to Jessica and Ashley, Aubrey following closely behind.

“You need to relax. Let loose a little of that pent up frustration.” Stacie’s voice is muffled while drinking whatever concoction Aubrey gave her. Setting her glass down, a sly smile appears on the leggy brunette’s face, her eyes glinting with something Beca couldn’t quite figure out, but had a feeling it wasn’t going to be anything good. “Maybe we need to find you a tall blonde, I’m sure we could find someone here.”

“Dude! No!”

“I’m not sleeping with Beca!”

The loud commotion could be heard throughout the whole bar, catching the attention of many onlookers, including the girls at the bar. Emily could be seen spitting mid drink, eyes wide, Flo patting her back as she makes some comment related to Guatemala.

Amy quickly makes her way over. “Aww yeah, Shawshank! If I hear moaning of ‘auu-beca’ tonight,” pointedly looking at the tall blonde, “I’ll be taking twenty dollars to go out. I don’t know how you could pass up a good bloe though.” She comments while setting down a tray of shots that the girls were going to down, sooner rather than later.

Both of the girls groan, Beca’s face growing red, Aubrey’s showing disgust. “I would have to be completely inebriated before I even thought about sleeping with the hobbit.” Aubrey takes a long drink grimacing as the alcohol burned down her throat.

Beca raised her hand in the air, her head facedown on the table. “Likewise.”

Stacie rolls her eyes. “I wasn’t implying that you two should get together.” Groans could be heard. “But now that you mention it, I’m thinking I should have.” The tall brunette smirks. “Don’t worry Aubs, I know you’re more interested in taller brunettes.” She winks making Aubrey blush.

“Wait, what are y-?” Amy gets cut off.

“Nothing! She’s implying nothing.” The blonde stresses looking anywhere, but the Bellas.

Actually feeling bad for Aubrey, which never in a million years did she think she would ever feel anything other than anger towards the former Bellas captain until they spent time together outside of a cappella learning that they actually had more in common then they thought, Beca drags the focus back on her.

“So,” she clears her throat, “If not Aubrey, then who were you suggesting?” The shorter brunette shifts nervously in her seat averting her eyes every time she made contact with Stacie, having an inkling that she already knew who she was referring to. Stacie was grinning like the cat who caught the canary.

“I don’t know, why don’t you tell me...”she drags the wait out knowing she was making the brunette squirm, “..little maus.”

Beca covers her face with her hands too embarrassed to look at the girls. “Don’t remind me.” Knowing they most likely won’t believe her, Beca still tries to convince them. “She was just intimidating. She’s freakishly tall and we all know I’m small.” She shrugs looking indifferent when really inside she was anything but that.

“Alright shortie, you keep saying that, but we really know what you mean.” Amy winks. Beca just groans. She’s definitely not getting out of this one.

“Now wait you guys!” Emily blurts out. “I mean she was intimidating. Who wouldn’t be!” She exclaims loudly waving her hands around in the air. “I mean, she did call Beca a troll,” she drawls, “but tiny maus is a term of endearment soo...” Emily trails off. “Yeah, I’ve got nothing.” She slightly shrugs giving Beca a look of apology.

“Just face it Beca, you were interested in Kommissar, I’m pretty sure we all were.” Stacie claims, the other Bellas nodding along even Amy. “I don’t blame you. Besides, I think the German goddess was interested right back. In fact, I’m kind of surprised she didn’t try anything now that I think about it,” Stacie mentions, a curious look upon her face.

Someone coughs. “Oh, I know exactly why she didn’t.” The girls all face Cynthia Rose who looks like she knew one of the top secrets in the world.

Even Beca becomes curious as she gets closer to the edge of her seat. “Well?” Beca starts to grow impatient.

Cynthia Rose locks eyes with the tiny brunette. “Let’s just say a fiery fox seemed to have their claws in someone, not letting them out of their sight.” Smirking, she continues. “If that wasn’t the case, Kommissar would’ve ate you up...if you know what I mean.” C.R. winks.

At that moment Chloe seemed to appear out of nowhere. “Hey guys!” She beams. “So Chicago said we could do tomorrow afternoon if that worked for everybody.” Chloe is only met with silence. “What’s up?”

She looks around the group, eyes finally landing on Beca who seemed to be showing all signs of embarrassment. “Uh, what’s going on? What’d you guys do to our poor little DJ?” She coos taking the empty seat by Beca. The redhead wraps the brunette in her arms in a hug. “What’s got you all embarrassed?” She asks sneaking a quick sip of the brunette’s drink.

Beca remains silent.

“Oh, Shawshank has just realized that Kommissar was interested in her. She would’ve ate her up, if you know what I mean.” Amy says repeating the last part that C.R. said.

Beca could feel Chloe’s arms around her tighten.

“What?!What do you mean?” The redhead demands, eyes narrowed with a hint of agitation in her voice. “That dummkopf is the enemy! She just wanted to get into your head.” Chloe fumes.

Beca refuses to make eye contact. She could feel Chloe’s stare burning a hole in the side of her head.

“Well, it worked,” Beca mutters.

“You’ve got that right little shortie!” Amy and Stacie hi-five.

“She had you all kinds of flustered.” Stacie fans her face jokingly. “But who can blame you? It’s hard to resist tall intimidating blondes. Stacie comments winking at Aubrey.

Aubrey rolls her eyes. “Can we just move on from this conversation?”

Chloe immediately jumps in. “Yes! I think we need to forget about the past and talk about the present.” The redhead nods her head seeming to need to reassure herself. Beca finally looks up, making eye contact with Chloe beside her. Chloe sends her a smile, her face still holding a slight look of irritation. Beca sends a small smile back receiving a tiny squeeze from Chloe’s hand. They’re both interrupted from their staring contest by the girls laughing.

“Damn Em! I never thought I’d hear you say that!” Cynthia Rose laughs clapping the younger brunette’s back.

“Oh look, Bloe has decided to grace us with their presence again,” Amy announces. The rest of the Bellas were still laughing at whatever Emily said. “Hey, aca-child, wanna tell our two captains what you said?” Amy nudges Emily with her arm. Emily’s face turns bright red, but what she says next she can’t stop. Later, she’d tell them that it was because of the alcohol.

It’d already be too late.

“If we can’t find a tall blonde, other than Aubrey.” The blonde sends her a grateful look. “Then I think we could find a tall brunette who maybe or maybe not also has an interest in music and is here. As in the hotel....right now...Over at the bar.” Emily points her finger, the others follow with their eyes.

“O-M-ACA-G! Emily! She’s just as bad as that blonde giant!” Chloe shouts standing up and grabbing the attention of the Bellas and even the group of girls at the bar. Beca shrinks down into her chair, gulping down what was left of her drink.

“Hey Red!” Amy holds her hands up in slight fear, “Take it easy! We’re just stating the obvious.” The blonde looks over at Beca. “I mean, you did say that she smelt like vanilla and complimented her outfit, right?” The rest of the Bellas hold their breath, torn between what Beca’s reaction would be, but also fearing for her life or Amy’s.

“What the hell Beca?!” could be heard throughout the room.

Beca just groans.

She’s actually starting to wish that she was skydiving right now.

Instead she sinks further into her seat, face burning.

Tomorrow couldn’t come soon enough.

rules: post the first line of a WIP and tag as many people as there are words in the quote (or something like that) as you want

the first lines from an upcoming fic set in my silence doesn’t mean nothing universe:

Aubrey lifts her head from her book when she hears the bedroom door close down the hall and slow, small shuffles move closer and closer to her.  

A head of messy brown hair and two curious eyes peek around the edge of her open door and Aubrey’s smile softens.  

“Come on,” she says, gesturing the girl closer who quickly slips into the room. “What are you doing up, sweetheart?”  

Contrary to usual, Bella doesn’t immediately crawl into bed with Aubrey, pouts from the foot of the bed with her shoulders slumped and her blanket half on the floor.  

“I miss mama.”  

Aubrey knows she’s not exaggerating, the small, broken-hearted voice enough to make her chest ache, brows knitting together with concern. She pats the space next to her and Bella looks up with a heavy sigh, considering it.  

“Come here, baby girl,” Aubrey urges again and Bella finally seems to muster up the will to climb into bed and squirm under the sheets, curling up next to Aubrey.

Mickey decides to go for his first kiss and Chloe lets him.

And then immediately after their kiss is done she turns around and Almeric has his first kiss with her as well.

[malvernsims]

Because they weren’t able to find jobs in careers they wanted Aldric ducks outside to dig for treasure, and he actually found some!

He goes back inside and does not disguise his digust at Chloe’s stink cloud that’s forming.

[malvernsims]

The first thing Klara does is hire a maid. They’re unemployed, took out a loan for this house and have barely any money left but she rolled a want for it so I figured why not.

Meanwhile Aldric greets the neighbours who came to welcome them to the neighbourhood.

Chloe was excited to hear about their trip over from Mission State University.

Later Klara whipped up some lunch for everybody and they all cornered around Klara and Aldric’s tiny kitchen table.

[malvernsims]

The next morning because I want to break up the monotony of skilling and working Chloe invites Wyatt Tan over, they have three bolts.

Who as a reminder is engaged to Olive Specter.

Gossiping about his fiancée may or may not have killed a woman doesn’t deter Chloe from asking him on a date though.

Or doing other things with him.

[malvernsims]

It seems they got there just before rush hour as sims pour in to check out the latest restaurant option. They get a seat by the door and decide to try the chef’s special which is apparently omelettes at 10pm. Nathan wanted to make a toast so why not, although I’m pretty sure this establishment doesn’t serve champagne or whatever they’re drinking.

[malvernsims]

They did end up woohooing immediately after and the dream still reached dream date status despite the rejected proposal. They both agreed they were better off as friends (with benefits).

[malvernsims]

He won’t have to worry about that though because Chloe rejected his proposal.

Chloe: I thought we were just going to woohoo. I thought we were on the same page about this being casual.

Chester: You’re right I don’t know where that came from.

[malvernsims]

Things quickly move from crush to love between these two.

I was surprised when they both rolled wants to get engaged to each other, especially Chester. He also had fears of getting married to her and two other townies.

[malvernsims]

It seems Mickey and Chloe decided to ignore the kiss she had with Almeric as they go upstairs to woohoo.

[malvernsims]

Mickey stil hasn’t had any luck finding a job in education so he spends his day trying to make friends. After befriending Chloe he rolls a want to flirt with her so obviously I make him invite her over.

She asked if she could bring a friend...this is not what I was expecting.

[malvernsims]

A couple hours later (I got sidetracked) and Mickey is working on his charisma skill when the welcome wagon arrives.

He greets them and the Kims immediately start flirting with each other, leaving Mickey and Chloe to their own devices.

He serves up some soup and Chloe joins him for lunch. Cynthia sits down for a bowl just before these two got up and Robert never came by for one.

[malvernsims]

Kristen comes home with a promotion that puts her in such a good mood she doesn’t even care when she walks into her room to find Chloe making out with Wyatt. In fact she seems to approve of her roommate’s choice in men.

Regardless Chloe and Wyatt vacate Kristen’s room and move to Erin’s room instead. They’re followed by Kristen’s coworker who apparenlty has no sense of personal space because she hovers over them for the rest of the date like a creep.

Fueled by the motive boost from the date Chloe goes on to max out her creatvity skill - which is the 3rd skill she’s maxed out, only 4 more to go for her LTW.
