IZombie The best pair ❤

[jungle-angel]

I have a question for you! Do you have a birth order for Bob’s siblings/age gaps? I’m always so invested in family dynamics and what people come up with when there’s no canon content. I fucking LOVE Joe. 10 out of 10. Would want him to be my father-in-law.

I love your writing! Thank you ❤️

Well, seeing as Joe's Navy call sign is "Rabbit"........lol. But thank you babes, I'm super happy about that, but here goes, Imma do Joe and Irene's as well.  (if I screw up a name I apologize lol)

Joseph Lowell Floyd- b. 12/07/1954, graduated Top Gun class of 1977

Irene Katherine Floyd (nee O'Connor)- b. 02/14/1956, married Joe Floyd on July 7th, 1977

Regan Martha Floyd- b. 10/18/1982

Michael Christopher Floyd- b. 08/18/1984

Sean Stephen Floyd- b. 05/24/1986

Liam James Floyd- b. 03/11/1988

Eugene Daniel Floyd- b. 02/11/1990

Chloe Faith and Alyson Grace Floyd- b. 06/27/1991

Robert Joseph Floyd- b 01/27/1993

There's at least a two to two and a half year age gap between the kids. Joe was a Navy pilot who had to fly some dangerous missions after he graduated from Top Gun, especially during the Persian Gulf Conflict. Each of the kids they had also has a special connection with their names as well too.

Reagan was born around the time that then President Ronald Reagan had taken office. Joe and Irene had trouble coming up with a name and it seemed like every day that the President was giving a speech.

Michael was named after Joe's little brother but his name was reversed (Christopher Michael). Joe's little brother was a police officer for a really long time and Michael was always really close with his uncle. He ended up choosing law enforcement as his line of work

Sean's middle name was for his uncle Stephen. Two of Joe's brothers (Chris and Stephen) had been in NYC during 9/11 and Stephen was a firefighter who had been one of the responders. Stephen survived and ended up taking Sean under his wing. Joe and Irene have been proud of him ever since

Liam was named after one of Joe's Top Gun classmates who had paralyzed after a training accident. The elder was like a brother to Joe and so when Joe asked if ever he needed a favor, his buddy said "name your kid after me." Sure enough, Liam the younger made an appearance. Every year, the younger runs with the elder in a marathon to raise money for the veterans hospitals

Eugene's middle name was after Maverick's dad (I know it's not canon but I don't care, lol). Duke was such a huge influence at Top Gun and when Eugene was born on the anniversary of Duke's passing, Maverick felt honored that his father's legacy was being preserved

Chloe and Aly were named after two of Irene's best friends who had been den mothers to her and the other girls while their husbands were on missions. Joe made it back by the skin of his ass for their birth

Bob was named after his father and his grandfather's brother. His grandpa's brother had been a Navy corpsman during World War II but had passed due to a debilitating injury. Joe had been particularly close with his uncle and when Bob was born, he knew that somehow he had come back to the family......though the paths were different, they were still two of the same.

Sorry this was so long babes, I tend to get in a state when I'm like this (lol).

Character Page Update

I've updated the portraits for Jay, Leo, Landon and Aly in the Characters section. I've also given Julien his own bio as he'll be making an appearance in the story very soon. :)

[themoonwoodmillstory]

A meteorite crushed Landon and I was going to ignore it, but I thought it'd be perfect for story purposes.

Landon got this sweet sentiment after Jay pleaded the Grim Reaper to bring him back to life.

[themoonwoodmillstory]

Harvestfest is all about being thankful and food. They all ate... literally. It was nice to return to Moonwood Mill and spend some time together again, but there is still so much to do in Chestnut Ridge.

[themoonwoodmillstory]

After the concert, everyone gathered upstairs. Jay and Landon introduced Aly and Matt to Rose and Dorothea, and they all spent the night together, getting to know each other.

Jana and Roberto Crinkletop really enjoyed each other's company.

[themoonwoodmillstory]

Queen Aly smashed it as always!

[themoonwoodmillstory]

Leo enjoyed the show in the company of his aunties.

Juniper Grove was a little upset because her husband, Umber, didn't want to come with her, and she had to spend the night with Dani and Marissa.

It seems that Jana is still in Chestnut Ridge, and she's a bit busy...

[themoonwoodmillstory]

Some of the locals gathered at the Chestnut Thirst bar for the little concert, and Aly welcomed everyone.

"Thank you for coming tonight! We're happy to be here, and we hope you enjoy our music."

[themoonwoodmillstory]

The Moon Children for their concert.

[themoonwoodmillstory]

"Jay, I must ask. Is the hat too much? I don't wanna feed any stereotypes, but I just thought it'd be a nice detail since we're playing in the town of... cowboys, basically."

"Relax, Aly. Nobody cares. Plus, you look hot in it!"

"Okay, thanks. I'm a bit nervous."
