Hi!, can you describe some of the character’s physical traits for example face and hair a bit more. I was shocked when I read that Vivian has long hair, I always pictured him as having short and wavy hair. Please :)

Sure! I'll try my best. I tend to be rather vague about most of my characters' physical traits and leave the rest up to the imagination, but in this case, the seasons themselves have very specific traits often related to their seasons! I'll put a read more for length. I'll just describe the Liddell family for now, so Vivian and Graham and their five children. I'll include Shannon at the very last in case anyone wants to skip over that for in-story surprises.

Vivian Eyes: Medium green Hair: Close to a sandy blond but maybe a little lighter/buttery than that, length trails past his shoulder blades a bit. You're right that it's wavy! Height: Tall? 6'2"ish? Weight: Never good at estimating weight, but he's slender with lean muscle (from walking to and from work, despite having a car) Facial shape: Somewhat round, but with a distinctive jawline. Typically shaves all facial hair Other features: Oddly shaped ear from scar, long fingers, and I'm going with "normal eyebrows" here

Graham Eyes: Brown Hair: Light brown, ever so slight wave to it as well, and it cuts off a bit past his chin. It is not cut at all one length--front is a little shorter around his face, but only marginally, and I imagine it somewhat layered Height: Tall, 6'2"ish? (Generally the same as his husband) Weight: Stocky build, good strong biceps from lifting wood all the time Facial shape: Square face, pretty strong jawline as well. He often goes for a more rugged look with his facial hair, although he keeps it trimmed so it's not a big beard and mustache. He shaves it off his neck. Other features: thick hands/fingers full of callouses, pretty thick eyebrows, and his hands and nails can get stained a lot

Sophronia Eyes: Light purple Hair: Pearl white with the light purple highlights that get more distinctive at the tips of her hair ("magic hair" is my excuse). Also, it curls into natural ringlets about halfway down and is quite long. Height: 5'11" Weight: Mostly slender, but I imagine her having somewhat of a barrel shape to her torso and a bit thicker arms and thighs Facial shape: Rounder than Vivian's, and she does share a chin with Vivian (not sure how to describe that) Other features: Her lips are very pale, she has thin eyebrows and long fingers

Eldon Eyes: Crystal blue Hair: White as fresh snow, I can't describe haircuts to save my life, but his hair is considered long? It's layered, and none really touches his neck aside from what's at the nape. He also has bangs, unlike his fathers. His hair grows in straight. Height: Tall for a 12-year-old Weight: That slender with baby roundness that just goes with young children Facial shape: Round face, with somewhat chubby cheeks. He's tall, but his face makes him seem younger somehow. Other features: Shares the winter pale lips with his sister, he'll probably have long hands as he grows. Despite being tall as kid, I feel like he'll be shorter than Howie, were they ever to become adults. His eyebrows are quite thin and probably will be all his life.

Howard Eyes: Chestnut brown Hair: Chocolate brown with red highlights. Hair is short (but has some length to sweep it to the side) and straight but quite thick. I've drawn him, but I can't show it. :( Height: Tall! Weight: He's very slim muscle, he's kind of active and sporty. Story doesn't show it often enough, but he's a climber and jumper. Facial shape: Not quite as baby faced as his siblings, and not as round (oval I guess?) and childlike because of his age. Other features: I feel like he'll have less delicate hands/fingers as his winter siblings and Vivian, but they'll still be thinner than his Daddy's. He's got thicker brows than El even as children.

Beau Eyes: Spring green Hair: Walnut brown, cut quite similar to Howie's but maybe a little longer than his older brother's by maybe an inch. It's straight and grows in a bit thinner than all the rest of the family's hair, but it's still got body to it. Height: Eh, not super tall, but like the higher end of average for a five-year-old. Weight: Average for his age, with some baby roundness still. Facial shape: Round cheeks, but his face is a tad more oval like Howie's. Other features: I feel like Beau and Howie really take after Graham with having brown hair and in Beau's case, thicker hands when he grows up. I suspect he'll be stockier too, but muscular? Not sure on that one yet. He might grow to be chubbier and probably on the cute side as an adult because the fat never leaves his cheeks. He'll share Howie's thicker eyebrows.

----No Seriously This is a Spoiler----

Shannon Eyes: Green Hair: Golden honey blond, cut at the shoulders (touches), and wavy. Height: 6' Weight: Slender Facial shape: Same as Vivian's Other features: Slender fingers, has freckles, and doesn't need to shave his face that often except for some uneven growth above his lips. (He'd shave it anyway, but it looks stupid as it grows out.) Thin eyebrows.

you've heard of "quiet quitting," now I'd like to introduce you to the next level, The French Work Ethic:

Do exactly what you're paid for and nothing more

Absolutely refuse to be available to contact when you're off the clock

Never prioritize work over your own health, wellbeing, or family because that would be insane, it's just a job.

Have a little glass of wine

Take as long as you feel like for lunch

Deeply understand that work doesn't matter

Make sure your boss knows they're always your second priority ❤️

watching bridgerton and obviously there were a lot of things wrong with the way socializing has worked in the past, but honestly the idea of a "calling hour" is so appealing. office hours for friendship. you can show up unannounced at my home between 1 and 3pm. you must leave by 3pm. I may give you a pastry. lets bring that back

How the gentle wind,

Beckons through the trees,

As autumn colours fall.

Also increasingly aware that a LOT of people "manage" getting through the 40+ hour work week by sleeping less than is healthy and relying on stimulants like coffee and energy drinks to keep them going.

For people who are unwilling or unable to do this...work really does just dominate your life. Like we really should not have to rely on unhealthy practices just to have a social life or keep on top of housework or whatever.

I know I post about this a lot but I'm so TIRED all the time and it's just so depressing that this is how we're expected to spend the one life we have.

Adhd will have you too burnt out to eat or shower but give you the hubris to decide you can homebrew an entire d&d system on the back of a receipt

If you saw me agreeing with being annoyed about wasted helium in a fictional context and were like "I bet she has some more helium based anger in her life" good news LAPD fucked up a raid on a medical facility they thought was a pot farm and flat out ruined thousands of gallons of the stuff.

Annabeth: I, a child, had to earn Thalia’s love, that’s how the world works! I have to earn my moms love. Love is transactional, you gotta be worthy of it first silly :)

I just wanna say bc I KNOW you're somewhere on tumblr, to the teenage girl who attended Take Your Kid To Work Day at an office building in Ontario, Canada circa 2013 and had a conversation with a middle aged woman in which you showed her your Black Veil Brides fanart and fanfics and ship content and told her about different fanfic tropes including a/b/o verse bc she happened to know who Panic! at The Disco and Fallout Boy were and thus you felt the need to show her your bandblr ship art, that was my fucking mother and I had to clarify all that to her including looking my mother in the eye and trying to explain a/b/o verse without sounding like a lunatic.

It's been 10 years and I still regularly sent evil energies in your direction. Since you'd be probably two years younger than me and thus legally an adult now, please know if this post reaches you it's on sight.

i think having worked a retail or food service job actually is more important to not being a loser than doing drugs or having sex. the poll that showed so much of this site has never worked one of those jobs was actually way more concerning to me than any of the celibacy sweep polls

Honestly the cliche advice is true. If you fill your life w things you’re passionate about, if you challenge yourself every day, if you give your own opinion of yourself more weight than you do other people’s opinions of you, you will actually thrive. Like no one can tell u anything
