I Rent a Place on Cornelia Street | Phinnip (10 Years Later)

#21:  Back to the Future Thread: Write either a flashback or a flashforward thread with another mun! 

Phineas felt like he was on top of the world. 

New York was the last stop on the first-ever Two Cents podcast tour, and Phineas was buzzing with energy. They had sold out the Bell House! Which wasn’t exactly MSG, but it was something! The cheers were still echoing in Phineas’s head, the laughter, the applause, the whoops of support when Phineas had offered increasingly ridiculous solutions to an audience member’s problem. Because that was what he did, and he did it really well. 

It was the perfect way to end the tour. Adjusting to being with Pip 24/7 after only communicating with him online for the past year and a half had been weird and there had been the typical tiffs and arguments that always popped up between Phineas and Pip, but Phineas was surprised by how natural it felt. Even going back to crash at Pip’s apartment before the red-eye the next morning felt normal even though Phineas had only seen it once or twice in person, his knowledge of the place mostly confined to the background of Pip’s Zoom setup.

“Thanks, man!” Phineas said to the Uber driver as he dropped them off outside Pip’s apartment, gathering his luggage. “Damn, I know it’s really late, but I am so wired right now, dude. I wish we had another show! I’m ready to go!”

Won’t You Be My Neighbor? | Andrakina

Sunday, November 14 -- Neighborly Plotting: Plot a thread with your neighbor(s) using the demographic sheet. If you live somewhere like the Woods, where there are no house numbers, headcanon who you live near! 

New people had just moved to Southern Isles, and Annie was determined to get to them first. It looked like a nice couple, from where she could see them, peering through the window of her kitchen that gave her a pretty decent view of the people next door. Not that Annie used it to spy on people. It just... came in handy sometimes.

So she made a tray of lemon bars, which were always a hit back in Nashville, and brought them proudly to the steps of 424 Sycamore Drive. Once they opened the door, Annie smiled proudly. “Hiya there! I’m Annie Tremaine. I heard you’re new to the neighborhood, and I wanted to come over and say hi, welcome you to Southern Isles!” Ugh, she still hated that she lived in Southern Isles. But it was what she could afford right now.

Back to the Drawing Board | Henrose (10 Years Later)

Back to the Future Thread: Write either a flashback or a flashforward thread with another mun! (This could be an existing connection or a connection that could possibly happen 10 years in the future! Should be 10+/- years in the past/future.)

Per the terms of Henry’s parole, he couldn’t leave the UK. The inconvenient thing about that was that he couldn’t see any of his family, because they had fled the country as soon as the Order’s secrets started coming out (except for Augusta who had told the authorities everything she knew from the start, giving her immunity, but Augusta still wasn’t speaking to Henry). Henry didn’t even know what country his parents and Jacqueline were in now. They hadn’t written.

Nobody had written, actually, the entire nine years Henry was in prison, because the people who had helped take down the Order thought Henry was still loyal to the Order, and the people who were still loyal to the Order thought he was a traitor for cooperating with the investigation. But Henry had long-ago learned that trying to be in everyone’s good graces at the same time was what had landed him in this mess to begin with. He didn’t blame them. Henry had betrayed a lot of people at various times, and in the end, he didn’t know if he even felt good about his actions. He just had to live with them. But nine years in prison gave you a lot of time for self-reflection. 

There was one exception: Rose. She was occasionally in touch, the only person Henry had told the entire truth to about everything, and who somehow still wanted to speak to him. Maybe it was because she had a few of her own regrets, too. So when Henry needed somewhere to stay upon his early release, she was the only person he could think of. 

“Hi,” Henry said awkwardly, when Rose arrived at the bus station to pick him up. He didn’t know if he should hug her or not. He wanted to. “Er, how was the drive?”

Sugar Rush | Tiaru

BDRPWrimo #7: Business Savvy Thread: Plot a thread that takes place in one of Swynlake’s businesses with a mun that you don’t currently have a thread with.

Slowly, things were starting to fall into a rhythm again at Tiana’s Place. Marisa’s absence still left a gaping hole, and every time Tiana made a schedule without her name on it, she felt it. But Tiana had hired some new people and added specials to the menu. It helped a little bit.

It was a quieter day and Tiana wasn’t too busy, so she was managing the hostess stand during the day before Candace’s shift started. She noticed a familiar face (from where? Tiana couldn’t remember) in the waiting area, looking at the chalk board where Tiana had written the specials, including a few new beignet flavors for November. 

“Can I help you with something?” she offered, peering over the hostess stand. Wait. That was Haru, right? Jun knew her? Tiana’s curiosity was piqued. “Those are our new beignets for the month. We have apple cider beignets, with fresh apples from Besydus, and a spiced chai beignet too. For dine-in or takeaway.”

A/N: Sorry :)

Every day, packages are delivered to the wrong shop at 37 Main Street. What many people don’t realize is that the building has two floors, a florist on the bottom floor and a tattoo parlor on the top floor. Every day, Aquata Triton signs for packages that do not belong to her, and every day she stomps upstairs, her annoyance building as she climbs each stair. “Eeyore! Another one!” she shouts as she rounds on the tattoo parlor. Regulars at Gregory’s shop have come to expect this.

Every day, Gregory Eeyore looks up from the design he is working on and grunts that Aquata can leave it wherever, and Aquata complains that he needs to start specifying to people that Eeyore Tattoos is located on the second floor at 37 Main Street, and Gregory promises he’ll do it, going back to working on his art.

But Gregory never does.

Here is another thing many people don’t realize about the tenants of 37 Main Street. That they don’t even know themselves: the owner of the tattoo parlor and the owner of the florist are desperately, hopelessly in love.

~*~*AQUATA’S POV*~*~

Aquata never wanted to be a florist. She inherited the shop after her mother’s death, after her big city dreams of coaching the England National Swim Team were dashed and she returned to her small hometown to start over. People are often surprised when they hear that this is her profession, because florists are supposed to be gentle and Aquata is anything but. 

“Wow. What’d those flowers ever do to you?” Gregory snorts, loitering in the doorway of the florist. 

Aquata looks up from the bunch of red roses she is wrestling into a complex arrangement for a summer wedding. It’s a difficult operation, and it takes more strength than people realize. Aquata’s long brown curls have seemed to escape her scrunchie, and small tendrils stick to her sweaty forehead. 

And there’s Gregory, standing in her doorway. Cool and composed as ever. Aquata hates that clever little smirk, how his blue eyes seem to see right through her.

“What do you want, Gregory?” Aquata groans, wiping her forehead. 

“Do I need a reason to stop by my downstairs neighbor’s shop and see how things are going?” 

Aquata looks at Gregory quizzically. There has to be a higher motive. There always is. She’s been feuding with the tattoo artist ever since she moved back to town, and neither can ever seem to resist the opportunity to get the upper hand.

“Yes,” she says, then goes back to fighting with the flowers. She can feel those blue eyes on her, somehow, and a strange feeling comes over Aquata. One she can’t describe. She wants to say something, but she doesn’t even know what. So Aquata puts up her defenses. She looks up again. “Well?” she says impatiently.

Gregory nods, smiling to himself but looking resigned. 

“Right, then. I’ll let you get on with it.”

~*~*GREGORY’S POV*~*~

Gregory knows it was stupid. He gets back upstairs and kicks a file cabinet, cursing his own silly notions. There was so much more he wanted to say. That his shop was in trouble, that he was thinking of leaving this town for good after the last disaster to hit, that he wanted to run away to Paris-- but that he wanted her to convince him to stay. For some reason. It was ridiculous. They were enemies!

But something in the way that Aquata smirks at him every time she hands him a wrongly-addressed package, something in the way that Aquata looks both strong and soft at the same time when she holds a delicate rose, something makes Greg wonder what it would be like to hold her hand.

Gregory is no romantic hero. He’s never been able to charm people the way that the protagonists of rom coms can-- all he can do is be himself. His confidence around Aquata has always been a shield, a shield covering his fears and his insecurity deep inside. 

Things are quiet for a few days after that. The stairway to the tattoo shop is woefully quiet, and Greg wonders whether he completely misread things. He finds himself idly sketching hands-- always hands, curled around delicate red roses. 

And then one day, it happens. An eviction notice. Gregory never had the kind of money Aquata Triton has, and this shop isn’t a fallback career for him, it’s his whole life. The Paris plan was always a fantasy, never a reality. Maybe, he supposes, he can move in with some old friends out in Manchester.

~*~*~*AQUATA’S POV *~*~*~

When Gregory mentions this, in passing, as she drops off yet another package, Aquata’s face falls. Gregory? Leaving? Aquata complains about him, makes a big show of annoyance when his packages mistakenly arrive, but she’s fallen into the easy rhythm of seeing him. 

It’s five thousand dollars of rent that Gregory cannot pay. Chump change to Aquata, who’s never had to worry about money in her life. For the first time, she understands the difference in their positions.

Aquata stares at Gregory, as though trying to take in every detail before he disappears. His eyes are as familiar and yet as ever-changing as the sky above, his tattoos peeking out of his shirt collar like a book at the library Aquata wants to read but never has gotten around to. The world seems to go dark around her as Gregory idly supposes he’ll probably end up a few hours away in Manchester. As dark and black as the ink that Greg is now turning around to prepare for his next client. 

Gregory can’t leave. He just can’t. Not before Aquata has the opportunity to tell him everything she’s never said. Not before Aquata can finally read the book in Gregory’s blue eyes, in the tattoos that cover his body. 

She has an idea. It’s a ridiculous one. But not nearly as ridiculous as the magnetic pull she feels toward Gregory. 

“Do you take walk-ins?” Aquata blurts out, before she even has time to think it through. 

Gregory looks taken aback. “Er-- yeah. I do. Why?”

“I want one. Before you go.”

“Now?”

“Now.” 

For the first time since she’s ever spoken to him, Aquata’s voice quivers shyly. “To remember you by,” she adds.

They lock eyes, and a million years flash by in a brief ten seconds. Everything Aquata wants to say is blooming in front of her eyes like flowers, and everything Gregory wants to say is spilling out like ink. But they can’t say it. They can only stand, eyes locked, hands shaking, the world spinning around them, and suddenly they both understand.

Gregory is first to break the spell. “Right then. What did you have in mind?”

“Whatever you want to do. I have five thousand dollars. I want to spend it all-- I don’t know what that gets me, but do it.”

*~*~*GREGORY’s POV *~*~*

Gregory’s jaw drops. It’s so much money, and to spend all at once... He’s never inked anything close to this price. “Aquata...”

“Do it, Gregory.” 

“Don’t you want to see a design?”

Aquata shakes her head. And she hopes her gaze conveys the truth: she wants him to ink from the heart.

The tattoo takes weeks. Every day, after work, Aquata makes her way up the stairs for the next installment in her sleeve. Some days, she’s chatty, prodding Gregory for details about his next move and teasing him about the music he plays while he works. Other days, she’s more subdued. Those are the days when she remembers that the last stroke of ink to go on her arm will also be the last time she sees Gregory.

The design starts to take shape: roses twined around hands, winding all the way up Aquata’s left arm. Aquata wonders whether it’s a stock design, something Gregory would give anyone. And then one day she notices his notebook. “Are those designs for someone?” she asks curiously.

Gregory suddenly looks hesitant. “Erm, don’t worry about it,” he stammers.

“No, I want to see,” she says, grabbing the notebook with her free arm. The first page she opens to almost causes her to drop the book. It’s a drawing of the design Gregory has been inking onto her, dated one year ago. And in the bottom corner, it reads: For Aquata.

Aquata stares at Gregory. “You’ve... been planning this for a while.”

He blushes. “Well, I never thought you’d actually want it.”

“Why’s that?”

“I always thought you hated me.”

“I always thought I did, too.”

They lock eyes, and this time, Gregory doesn’t look away. There’s a silent exchange between them-- a nod of the head, a quirk of the eyebrow, a twist of the lips. And then suddenly, Gregory puts down the tattoo gun and Aquata leans forward and draws Gregory into a long, passionate kiss. He leans down to the tattoo bed to kiss her back.

It’s not the most productive day. But together, Aquata and Gregory create something even more beautiful, two roses twining around one another.

*~*~*~*AQUATA’s POV*~*~*~*

When the tattoo is finished, it’s bittersweet. “I suppose that’s it,” she says, looking down at her arm and then back up at Gregory. “You’re just going to leave.”

Gregory nods. The money was enough to keep the shop open for another month, but after this, he knows he doesn’t have long. The landlord has been banging on his door every day, demanding more money, and one tattoo isn’t enough to change everything.

Aquata is fighting back tears. She never cries in front of anyone. But Gregory isn’t just anyone anymore. “Will you do one thing?” she asks desperately. “Will you take a photo?”

It’s a miracle the photo doesn’t come out blurry, because Gregory’s eyes are filled with tears now, too. But the photo captures every line, every meticulous detail, now covering Aquata’s arm forever. 

Later, when Aquata tweets the photo out, she knows that nobody will truly understand it. Nobody will know all of the laughter and the tears and the heart-wrenching emotion that has gone into every line of the sleeve, flowing through the ink. Nobody will know that she fell in love over this tattoo, or that it was a year in the making. But she decides to try to explain it anyway, in a thread that is more emotional and raw than anything she’s ever said to anyone, much less the entire internet.

She just hopes it can be enough. But part of her knows that it won’t be. Gregory and Aquata share one last kiss, and in the fading light streaming through the windows, Aquata wants to remember Gregory like this forever. A tattoo on her heart.

*~*~*~*ONE YEAR LATER*~*~*~*

“Gregory! We need more roses out front!” Aquata calls from the register. Gregory emerges from the back room with a box overflowing with red roses.

“Just tell me where to put them!”

The Grand Re-Opening is tonight. 37 Main Street no longer has two shops: it has one.

The Inked Rose is the newest addition to Main Street, a combination tattoo parlor and florist where fleeting beauty meets permanent art. After Aquata’s tweet went viral, everyone demanded their own floral tattoos-- and the landlord simply couldn’t evict Gregory any longer. Business exploded and Aquata proposed a deal: if they merged their shops, they never had to worry about packages being delivered to the wrong place again.

Some days, they switch off. Aquata is learning the art of tattooing, and Gregory is learning about flower arrangements. Main Street is booming with business, and Aquata has learned that, while she still has no particular passion for flower arranging, there’s something about doing a job with a person you love that makes it so much better.

Because she does love him. And he loves her too.

“Special delivery!” Gregory announces, presenting the box of roses to Aquata.

“What?”

The roses spell out two words: “Marry Me”?

“Eeyore!” Aquata groans, but she can’t keep that stupid grin off her face. She tackles him with a hug, and he stumbles backward into a flower display. Daisies rain down around Gregory. 

“Is that a yes?”

Aquata smiles. “Yes.”

ignore measurements we couldn’t get rid of them and this is just the idea of how it all looks

Princess House:

@cinderellaashbourne​ @almosttiana​ @aurora-rosewood​

Basics: 3 Bedroom, 2 1/2 Bath, Sitting Room, Kitchen + Dining Area, Garden (Back and Front), Conservatory.

Aurora’s Room:

Originally Aurora had set up in the Master bedroom but with her new roommate and Willa, Aurora switched with Ella taking a slightly smaller room but as long as it fit her plants she’s more than okay. Lolly’s got her dog bed in the corner and Aurora’s bed is pressed against the window for sun.

She has a desk in the other side of the room where she keeps a lot of her handmade paper and any sorcery books. She keeps her wand accessible at all times usually on the stand with all those succulents. Hidden behind a few plants is an old picture of her family from the last time she saw them.

Garden

There really isn’t a good picture that could explain what the garden looks like. First off it’s a mix of looking almost overgrown but when you take a look you should be able to appreciate the twists and turns of all the plants. Most of the plants are all something Aurora can use in spells but anything that might be a little more dangerous is located in the back. Along with the garden that Aurora take care of, Ella has a plot for a veggie garden that she is showing Tiana how to garden veggie’s as well.

Aurora spends at least an hour in the garden every day if not more because it’s a large task. All the crops are definitely going to come out well with Aurora looking after them.

Conservatory

This was the main point of the house that got Aurora wanting to live in this house. Attached to the back of the house you can walk out into the conservatory which Aurora had placed most of her plants. There’s a little sitting table that the girls will have tea at. There’s so many windows that you might as well be outside.

Tiana’s Room

Tiana's room is pretty bare right now-- just her bed, a somewhat-messy desk where she does work for the restaurant, and a small closet that she tries to clean out twice a year. Tiana hates clutter, but it tends to accumulate when she gets busy. The shelves over her bed hold pictures of her friends and family as well as her diploma from culinary school and some prints of her culinary icons: Leah Chase, Julia Child, Tanya Holland. She also has a photo of her father on her bedside table next to a plant that Tiana adopted after seeing how much Aurora loves greenery. Her window lets in lots of sunlight and Tiana only turns the light on when it's very dark outside.

Kitchen

The kitchen is small but lively, and Tiana was mostly excited that the appliances were nicer than what she had gotten used to in Benbow. She tries to keep the space tidy, but on days when she cooks more complex meals, the kitchen can get very cluttered. With some help from Aurora and Ella, Tiana has a small herb garden on the window that she draws on from time to time when cooking and natural light comes in through the windows on sunny days. Tiana likes to listen to music when she cooks, so it's not uncommon to come home from work and hear motown or disco blasting from that part of the house.

Ella’s Room

Ella very graciously accepted the room from Aurora when she moved in, which means she has enough room for herself and a nursery nook for Willa. She’s tried to create a space for each of them, with her bed, desk and wardrobe to one side, and Willa’s crib, a comfy chair for story time, her toy chest and other things toward the other side of the room. There isn’t as much foliage in her room as in the rest of the house, but she does still have a few potted plants dotted around the place. She has a lot of books, and her sewing machine is tucked away in the corner, and there’s a little cosy space for the mice if they want to stay inside. Like the others she likes a lot of light in her room, so unless Willa is sleeping she tries to keep the curtains open to catch as much light as possible.

Sitting Room

The sitting room has a modern boho vibe that fits the rest of the house, featuring lots of repurposed furniture, nice soft furnishings, and of course plants. Ella tries to keep it as tidy as possible, but there are quite often toys lying about the place. The sitting room can be really cosy of an evening, and it’s a good space to share for movie nights.

Wildest Dreams: A Regency!Devanna Playlist

Monday, November 15 -- No Words Necessary Playlist: An instrumental playlist for a character or a relationship (with descriptions for each song). 10 songs minimum.

I decided to make a playlist of songs I can see playing in the background for the little regency romance story we did with Devanna during Regency AU! These songs weren’t chosen for accuracy to the location or time period, they’re more just chosen from vibes and what I could envision playing if this were a movie.

Listen here!

1. Clouds by Luke Faulkner

This song feels like the start of a movie, a sort of calm intro that I can picture playing in the establishing scenes where Anna is arriving in London, getting settled at her cousins’ flat and already starting to feel a little bored by the high-society Season.

2. Almost Idyllic by Sleeping at Last

The beginning of this song sounds like the moment when the lovers first meet, the sort of sweeping romantic soundtrack that you might expect in such a dramatic moment. I feel like we really channeled ~romance genre~ vibes with this plot and incorporated the tropes of the genre, so it feels right to have a song like this. And then the song gets a little more subdued halfway through, maybe when they start to realize this could be something special, and it picks up pace at the end again to represent that excitement of new love. 

3.  The Sailor’s Bonnet by The Gloaming 

What I love about this song is how slowly it starts. It’s 13 minutes long, so it can really take its time before it gets going, kind of like how a flirtationship can start of slow and uncertainly. There’s that little fiddle in the beginning trying out different riffs, and then it gets a little faster and more confident, and by the end all the instruments are at full speed and it’s a party! I think this would be a great movie montage song as the lovers start to fall for each other. And the chaotic ending kind of signifies that things might start getting a little crazy.

4. Dreamland by Alexis Ffrench

This song is upbeat and sweet, but a little more subdued than the previous one. It sounds like a daydream to me, and I can imagine it as the lovers dreaming about each other as they go about their individual lives. Anna’s at the ball but she’s not really paying attention to her suitors, while Devyn is supposed to be making shoes for customers but instead keeps making shoes for Anna. 

5. Dreaming by Elliott Jacques 

This is another slightly more subdued song, and it kind of sounds like a nighttime song? So I imagine this could play while Anna is sneaking out to go see Devyn, and there’s that moment of hesitation as they realize they’re really breaking the rules now. But there’s also that tenderness and a little bit of excitement as they realize they want to break the rules for each other.

6. Wildest Dreams by Duomo

Is this cheating?? Sorry I have tswift brain worms. As we may know this particular cover is from the soundtrack of Bridgerton and to be totally honest I actually like this strings cover better than the original song?? I just think it’s so beautiful and it has this amazing energy to it; it captures this sort of fleeting moment in time and forbidden love situation, it’s exciting and sweet at the same time and I think this song plays as they are stargazing and kiss for the very first time! 

7. Mr. Sloan by Scott Wood Band

The flute at the beginning of this reminds me of the morning, and I think this is the song that plays as they are setting out on their secret escape to go elope. It’s sweet and soft and pastoral-sounding, but there’s also a sort of anticipation to it. And toward the end of the song, it gets a little more upbeat and as the fear starts to melt away Devyn and Anna can get excited about their future together! But there’s also that subdued note at the end as they worry whether this is the right thing to do.

8. Punch in the Dark / Jeanie Shock Da Bairn / Piper on Horseback by Christ Stout

This song is much more intense and upbeat, and it gives me the vibes of the CARRIAGE CHASE SCENE!! It’s exciting but also a little sinister and I think if you were to make an action movie set in the 19th century this would fit right into it. This is the climax of the movie (aka plot) and it is also one of the faster songs on the playlist.

9. The Forest of Frost on the Windshield by Matt Pond PA

This song is the sort of cooldown from the previous song, it’s not exactly slowed but it definitely has a quieter vibe. We didn’t play this part out, but I think this is the part when Elsa, Anna, and Devyn all work things out and they decide that they can be together. The emotions are still there, but they’re calmer.

10. The Last Dance by Samuel Sim

THIS SONG!! THIS SONGGG! So this is from the Emma BBC 2009 miniseries that I just love and it’s this scene that I am frankly obsessed with, I’m going to link it so everyone can experience it, I think i watched it 238749 times during Regency AU. Despite being “The Last Dance,” I think it’s a very triumphant song that reminds me of new beginnings. There’s hope for the future again, love has conquered all, etc etc. I think this would be the song that plays as Devyn and Anna dance at their wedding (because we didn’t play this out but there IS a happy ending!!! It’s the romance genre!!!). And then it plays as they walk out and get in the carriage and everyone congratulates them and the movie fades to black and the credits play. xoxo <33333

10 Things in Tanya’s Backpack | Oneshot

Saturday, November 20 -- Short and Sweet One-Shot: Write ten short-short stories of no more than a paragraph long (can star one or multiple characters.) 

Warnings: Depression, alcohol use, and usual references to death and ghost stuff

One

Tanya got her backpack when she was starting Grade 7. She finally convinced her parents to let her replace the pink one she’d used since primary school when she ripped it badly enough that it didn’t function anymore, and so a very cross Mrs. Tiwari and a very pleased-with-herself Tanya walked out of Marks and Spencer with a teal canvas backpack. “This had better last you at least a decade,” Tanya’s mother complained, eyeing the price tag disapprovingly. It did.

Two

Tanya’s sister gave her a Walkman for her sixteenth birthday, asserting that all teen angst deserved a soundtrack. Sonam had, herself, just come out of a very difficult year, a bad bout of mono keeping her out of school for months and triggering a deep depression that ran in the family, exacerbated by the pressure from her parents to do well on A-Levels. When she fought with them, Tanya often found Sonam afterwards, blasting Bikini Kill. Riot grrl music, Sonam called it, and Tanya never really understood the appeal until years later. Because years later, Tanya understood what Sonam meant when she said she felt stuck.

Three

Tanya tried her first sip of alcohol on a balmy June night the summer before she was to start uni. She pretended that it wasn’t her first, but the truth was that she never really had close friends before this year. It was an unlucky thing, really, to make all of these friends finally and then immediately have to say goodbye to them when they all left for their different adventures. But it was the reason Tanya was determined to make every single night of this summer count. She downed a little airplane bottle of tequila that her friend, Lexi, had brought her, and dropped it in her backpack, where it burrowed its way to the bottom and never reemerged.

Four

Tanya was barely holding on, five weeks into the whole being dead thing. Half the time, she didn’t feel real at all, and the other half the time she was bursting with energy as the people around her exploded with frustration. She crept into an alleyway in Manchester later one night, flickering in and out, shivering not from cold, but from the feeling of drifting out of corporeality. That was where she met Bobby, a more experienced revenant with shaggy blond hair who fed on creativity and taught her how to find and use emotions, and then abruptly left her behind one night along with a map of the city. The next day, Tanya left Manchester. But she kept the map.

Five

Visiting her own grave was a risky and stupid move that she regretted immediately. In an oversized hoodie and dark sunglasses, Tanya stared at her own name and cried, because she wasn’t that girl anymore, and she never would be again. On the way out, though, she took a souvenir. Someone had left a wreath of plastic flowers, and Tanya plucked one out to stuff in her backpack. She didn’t know why she did it. Maybe to remind herself never to go back.

Six

“Where did you find that shirt, the rubbish bin?” teased Jessica, tossing her long flatironed hair. Jessica was correct. Tanya did find the T-shirt in a dumpster. There was something satisfying to Tanya about going through the garbage bins and claiming things as her own. Of course, she was probably old enough to get a job, pay for new things and live an afterlife that resembled her real life, but maybe Tanya just couldn’t resist the poetry of saving something deemed dead from the incinerator before it could burn. Or maybe, Tanya thought, looking down at her Rice Krispies T-shirt, it was just kind of funny to own something that uncool.

Seven

Tanya really didn’t mean for the boy to fall for her. And yes, she knew that it was partially her own fault. Considering she had, uh, told him that she had a crush on him so that he would ask her to the dance so that she could spill a milkshake from the diner all over the interior of his car. But for some reason, that had only made him fall harder. Tanya didn’t understand it, but she never had the heart to throw out the souvenir key chain from that night, the one the boy had given her when Tanya “lost” her own. 

Eight

And then suddenly Tanya did understand it, because she was at a new school and she only intended to befriend that football player in order to pull a massive prank on the entire team, but no matter how strangely Tanya acted, the football player looked at Tanya warmly and had eyes that sparkled and Tanya couldn’t do it, she just couldn’t do any of it. The football player tossed a note to Tanya one day in class and that was when Tanya knew she had to get out. As soon as class ended, Tanya threw the note in her backpack without reading it and left that school, never to return, because she had made the mistake of getting too close and she was never, ever going to do that again.

Nine

She found out Sonam had published a book, and even though Tanya never had money, she managed to steal a couple of dollars out of a pocket and buy a copy at a bookstore in Bristol. It was a memoir. Tanya didn’t read it because she didn’t want to know. But one night, she let her curiosity get the better of her, and she remembered, for the first time in a while, that things had not always been this one. Tanya regretted that. She shoved the book deep in her backpack and never returned to it.

Ten

Sometime in the mid 2010s, Facebook buy-nothing groups starting popping up, and Tanya joined every single one of them she could find. She liked being first to comment and claim an item, the satisfaction of showing up to pick it up and hold it in her hands. She never had room to actually keep all of the things she took, so she shoved them in whatever locker she was living out of and abandoned them when she moved to the next place. It was good practice in not getting attached to things. But before she left a place, sometimes, Tanya liked to take a picture. Just to remember she had been there. And she liked to take the Sharpie that stayed at the bottom of her bag and scribble on some school surface, TANYA WAS HERE. As though writing it would make it true.

The Flynn-Fletcher House

Day 28 – Interior Decorating Collaboration: Get together with your employees/coworkers and create a floorplan for your character’s house or business!

Under the cut for length! In collaboration with @ferbmanofactionfletcher and @i-want-candy !!

1. Front Yard/House Exterior

The front yard doesn’t have any fancy landscaping, but the family does work together to keep the lawn looking nice. There’s usually some kind of lawn sign to advertise Candace’s shows (in the spring there was one for Phineas’s graduation as well). The garage door is open a lot of the time, especially when Phineas and Ferb are working on the car, so people can stop by and say hi. At Christmas, there are lights on the house and candles in the windows. The house has a special doorbell. It both rings and is connected to little light plugins around the house that flash when someone rings it so if Ferb is home, he knows he should either go answer it or when to go hide. 

2. Entryway/Living Room

The front door opens into the living room, which has a couch, a loveseat, a TV, and a fireplace. There is one bookshelf in here and a record player. The stairs to the right of the front door lead upstairs to the bedrooms and hall bathroom. The wall where the stairs are holds pictures! It used to just hold the Fletcher side of the family, but of course now it’s got pictures of Phineas, Candace, and Linda! And a Flynn-Fletcher fam photo. Agent P included! Past the couch, there is a small hallway that leads to the powder room and office. This is where Phineas does a lot of his homework, hanging out on the couch with the TV on in the background. Agent P’s bed is also in the living room, although sometimes she sleeps in the boys’ room or Candace’s room (even though she’s not really supposed to). 

3. Dining Room

This isn’t so much a separate room as a part of the kitchen partitioned off by the breakfast bar. There is a big table with six seats, and Lawrence and Linda sit on either end with the kids in the middle. There’s one seat that’s always empty except when there’s a guest over (sometimes it’s Vanessa, lately it’s been Andrea sometimes) and there are two extra folding chairs in the hall closet, but those don’t get used all that often.

4. Kitchen

The kitchen is big and airy, one of the biggest rooms in the house. The stovetop is on an island in the middle of the room, so it’s common for people to hang out around the island and chat while someone cooks. There’s also a breakfast bar with barstools where you can kind of see the TV from if you try hard enough. Candace does her homework here sometimes because she likes to be in the middle of things but also have her own space. On the occasional times when they have parties here, Phineas likes to play “bartender” at this space.

The refrigerator is usually pretty stocked and there are Post-It notes on it where people leave reminders/shopping list requests. The fridge also has some souvenir magnets from vacations and other random places. A lot of times there are flowers out on the island from Garden Grove.

5. Garage

The garage is mostly used by Phineas and Ferb when they’re working on projects. Because of all of their gadgets all over the place, there isn’t really room to park a car here (plus, currently, that space is being occupied by the car they’re fixing up). However, sometimes, if someone does need to park the car in here, the boys will have to move all of their stuff out of the way, which is a long process.

6. Patio/Backyard

The backyard doesn’t have a lot of decor, but it does have a table where the family eats outside in the summer sometimes as well as a hammock. There’s enough room for Agent P to run around, and the whole thing is fenced in. Sometimes, tennis balls end up in the neighbors’ yards and Phineas has done some elaborate maneuvers to get them back without anyone noticing. There’s a big oak tree in the middle of the yard.

7. Downstairs Hall Bathroom

A small powder room with a sink and a toilet. Nothing too fancy. Usually used by guests.

8. Office

This is mostly used by Lawrence, since he teaches at Pride U and brings his work home sometimes. There’s a desk that Linda and Lawrence both use, and sometimes if someone needs to make a private call they can use the office. On the desk, Lawrence has one of those digital picture frames that cycles through the ones he’s uploaded from his phone. Mostly of the kids and Linda!  There’s a table with little figurines for reconstructions of famous battles  that he changes up every so often, sometimes to have visuals for his research but just as often just for his own enjoyment. 

The walls are lined with more bookshelves and some maps/diagrams of historical battles as well as posters and framed memorabilia from Linda’s music career. Her famous “I’m Lindana and I Wanna Have Fun” jacket is framed in a shadowbox that was on loan to the Hard Rock Cafe in Chicago for a while, but she got it back before moving to the UK. There’s a sort of strange dissonance between the Lindana merch and the historical battle decor, but it works somehow. 

9. Upstairs Hall Bathroom

“It’s right up the stairs!” --something you might hear if you’re at a function at the Flynn-Fletcher house and the downstairs bathroom is in use. This is the bathroom that Phineas, Ferb, and Candace all share. There are two sinks, a toilet, and a shower. Since Phineas and Candace are both at Pride U now, though, it’s mostly Ferb’s. Phineas doesn’t have a lot of stuff in here, just some three-in-one shampoo/conditioner/body wash, a half-used bottle of hair product, an extra toothbrush, and some old cologne that he hates the smell of but keeps forgetting to throw out. He leaves the toothbrush out on the counter, but everything else is in a drawer.

Candace definitely comindeers this bathroom wherever she’s home and definitely has her shit all over the counter (she has a seperate set at school, ofc.) She also will take a bath at least once a week when she comes home for the weekend--bubbles and candles, the whole nine yards and will be in there for an hour minimum, get lost boys.

Ferb just has the bathroom basics! but ever since the Flynn’s moved in he started acting like the bathroom was more like a dorm bathroom. So he carries everything to and from his room whenever he needs it. This is because he 1. doesn’t want to take up any room Candace or Phineas might need and 2. wouldn’t want to need something in there if they’re in there and then disturb them. so he’d rather take his toothbrush downstairs than go knocking on the door. He still keeps his bathroom stuff in his room, despite both of the Flynn kids being at PrideU, in case someone came home for the weeknight and he didn’t know.

10. Phineas and Ferb’s Room

Phineas and Ferb each have a twin bed, facing away from the windows (and toward the wall shared with Candace where their desks are). 

Phineas’s bed is on the far wall by the window that faces the house next door. He has a very basic dark blue comforter with a plaid throw blanket. Sometimes if he doesn’t feel like making his bed or if he just feels like it, he’ll unroll his sleeping bag and just sleep in that on top of his comforter (#work smarter not harder). He has a couple of posters by his bed and over his desk: a poster for the film The Social Network, a poster with a Steve Jobs quote, a bulletin board with random stuff and memorabilia tacked to it, and a shelf with some Lego things he’s built displayed. His desk used to have his computer on it (a 3-screen setup with a PC, a second monitor, and his gaming laptop) but now all of that has been moved to Pride U (he sometimes brings his laptop back and forth, though). Now, his desk just has random books, papers, and knickknacks scattered across it.

Ferb’s side of the room: Ferb’s bed is on the other side, closer to the closet. He doesn’t have a lot of stuff because he isn’t really a materialistic person, unless its books. He does have a lot downloaded onto his computer but he has a pretty hardy collection of books that he has procured over the years of being a lonely child and going to Chapter Three every afternoon for something new. Also it was an easy gift for his family members on his birthday or Christmas, just getting him any old book. They all got organized into boxes under his bed after being told the Flynn’s were coming to live with them and that he and Phineas were going to share a room. All the things on his side, besides his computer set up, he was given. The lamp, the globe, the crest of his cousins’ favorite football team hung up on the wall. Even the purple sheets/pillow cases and blanket weren’t his personal pick. But he’s fine with that, would rather it be that way. Before Phineas moved in he didn’t have all the much stuff so it was very easy to clear up half the room. (Though now that he’s moved out he looks over at Phineas’ side forlornly.) 

11. Candace’s Room

Candace’s room overlooks the backyard, so there is plenty of light, especially in the afternoon. It is pretty sparse, because Candace never really fully moved in. There is still a box or two in her closet and under her bed full of stuff from America. She had hung up a few pictures/string lights to make it feel more homey, but it doesn’t really have much of a Candace-feel. Though, I do HC that Lawrence took her out shopping to buy new bedsheets as kind of a father-daughter bonding experience, so she has nice grown-up white sheets with little designs stitched into them and lots of fuzzy blankets and pillows.

She has a desktop computer that Ferb and Lawrence built for her for Christmas 2020 and so she keeps that on her desk, and uses it for sound editing and regular editing/recording of her show. The lighting is really nice there by the window. She uses her regular laptop for most stuff like watching Netflix and Twitter/Tumblr, etc. Also, her guitar and ukulele are probably near the bookshelf underneath the windows on their stands.

12. Linda and Lawrence’s Room

Linda and Lawrence share the master bedroom upstairs. The windows in that room face the backyard, but they are smaller and over the bed, so it’s not easy to see into the backyard (which is probably for the best, given the shenanigans that go down there). 

The majority of their career memorabilia is downstairs in the office, but they have a bookshelf with a lot of Lawrence’s history books and some things they both read for fun as well. There’s also a pretty extensive collection of Love Händel CDs, vinyls, and merchandise, as that is the band that brought Linda and Lawrence together. They also have a bathroom with a double sink and a bathtub/shower.

Since U Been Gone | Phinnip (10 Years Later)

#27: Write either a flashback or a flashforward thread with another mun

Somehow, Phineas always landed on his feet. 

Even after the hot sauce subscription service startup went under. Even when his developer friend quit on him because the AI-dog-breed-identifying app hadn’t raked in the kind of money in the first few months that Phineas had promised. Failure was just a bump on the road to success, and in the meantime, Phineas could fall back on freelance work, building websites for people and tutoring uni kids. Good thing he had taken all of those coding classes when he was at Ptide U.

But that was not going to be forever. He had an even better idea, and that was why he was going to the Swynlake Secondary Annual Reunion. You never knew which of your classmates had suddenly come into some money and decided to be a venture capitalist, right?

Like Pip. Wow, what was he up to? He had always been such a big shot in secondary, and then he and Phineas lost touch basically as soon as Phineas graduated. Maybe he had really made it as a Broadway actor. Did Broadway actors even make a lot of money? Even if they didn’t, Phineas was curious. Not everything was about money, of course. Even if Phineas had brought a folder full of charts and numbers promoting his new startup idea.

“Pip!” Phineas grinned, clapping his former classmate on the back. “What’ve you been up to, man? It’s been so long!”

Emoji of a Wave | Aquatina (Flashback: 2010)

Bournemouth was Aquata’s favorite place in the world. It was better than swim camp, even, with its beaches stretching out for miles and its salty smell and the promise of weeks without anything to worry about except for who could find the most seashells. And the water. So much water. Lately, Aquata felt like she spent more time underwater than on land. The past few years had been really hard and everyone had their own way of dealing, and Aquata’s was swimming. So she treasured every minute she got in Bournemouth.

Attina had her own way of dealing too, apparently, but to Aquata, it just seemed like she was being a pain. Always keeping tabs on everyone. Always bossing everyone around. It made it harder for Aquata to sneak away to swim like she always had and somehow they always ended up fighting.

But they were in Bournemouth. Things were different at the shore. They had to be.

“Hey, I’m gonna go for a swim!” Aquata announced as she walked into the kitchen of the beach house, towel over her shoulder. “Like, if you wanna come or whatever,” she added, noticing Attina there.

12. Plot a thread with two characters who do not know each other where they have to solve a problem

Henry knew he should have been suspicious that something was fishy about this “scavenger hunt” when the student running the event led him and Pacifica through several confusing corridors under the Student Union building. Sure, the dark and labyrinth-like quality of the hallways made it a good place for the scavenger hunt, but Henry was imagining something a little more... aboveground. But he was determined to learn how to navigate all parts of the school, and maybe make a new friend in this intriguing American girl, so Henry went along with it.

“Good luck!” the student said abruptly and pushed the two of them in a random room, then disappeared. 

Henry looked down at the paper in his hand with the list of items they were supposed to find. “Er, I suppose we should get started, then?” he said, and walked over to the door to try the handle. It didn’t budge. “...Did he just lock us in here?”

Dig a Little Deeper | Aqualana

24. Time Capsule: your character has dug up a time capsule that they buried ten years ago. What is in it? 

Aquata knew that it was going to be a busy day for her Google calendar, but there was one item on it she definitely didn’t expect: a little note that said, “Dig up time capsule in backyard with Alana.”

She didn’t even remember making the event. Well... if she thought about it, she did kind of remember making a time capsule at one point. It was back in the hazy memories of her early adolescence, a time characterized by fighting with her coaches and fighting with her sisters and, most specifically, fighting with Alana. A lot. It was what happened when you shared a room with someone who was basically in the same deep, dark phase of teen angst and grief as you were and neither of you really knew how to talk about it.

But there had been good memories, too, a lot of them. And now that Aquata thought about it, she could recall a winter afternoon when, bored and sitting around the house, the two had been encouraged by Benjamin to do something with themselves. Maybe a time capsule. And because they were bored at TikTok hadn’t existed yet, Aquata and Alana had gone through with it.

What the hell, Aquata thought, and dialed Alana’s number. “Are you free right now?” Aquata asked when her sister picked up. “I think you actually left some more stuff here.”

EIGHT: A NEW MUSICAL

Book by Emma Score and Lyrics by Taylor Swift Divorced, Beheaded, Died Broken up with x8 and then immediately forgotten about

Eight Tritons. Eight Taylor Swift Albums. One Ageless Love Interest. Coming to Broadway November 2020!

**None of this is canon, it’s just for the lulz. (Well, some of the Tritons did date Tony but I’m not basing it off of that and tbh their song choice is barely canon I went based off of vibes and also album release order)**

Lights up on the stage. It is set up like a concert, the lighting neon, with all eight Tritons standing in a line in age order from left to right. Their costumes are based on the era in which they were in upper sixth form (from Attina rocking a 2009-inspired outfit and Ariel in her 2020 best.) They are frozen in time, and slowly the music begins.

ATTINA: ONCE UPON A TIME ANDRINA: A FEW MISTAKES AGO ARISTA: I WAS IN YOUR SIGHTS ADELLA: YOU GOT ME ALONE ALL: YOU FOUND ME, YOU FOUND ME, YOU FOUND ME ME ME ME ME MELODY: I GUESS YOU DIDN’T CARE AQUATA: AND I GUESS I LIKED THAT  ALANA: AND WHEN I FELL HARD ARIEL: YOU TOOK A STEP BACK (etc the song continues they all have their individual parts but they sing the chorus together of I KNEW YOU WERE TROUBLE)

AQUATA explains the concept of the show: by some Swynlake magic, they have all realized that, during their final year of Swynlake Secondary, they all dated TONY RYDINGER. And now they are going to have a competition: who had their heart broken the worst by Swynlake Secondary’s infamous immortal badboy?

ATTINA reflects on her idyllic summer with Tony, hanging out on the beach together and, for a few brief moments, escaping the intense pressure she felt all the time.

ATTINA: WHEN YOU THINK TIM MCGRAW I HOPE YOU THINK OF MY FAVORITE SONG THE ONE WE DANCED TO ALL NIGHT LONG THE MOON LIKE A SPOTLIGHT ON THE LAKE...

She sings TIM MCGRAW and decides that it’s pure nostalgia, really, and maybe she could take herself out of the running. She’s happy with her life now.

ANDRINA appears and makes a snarky comment, instigating a brief bickering match between the two. ARISTA breaks it up and suggests that ANDRINA sing her song. ANDRINA said that she didn’t subscribe to the idea of this contest and she didn’t understand why one guy was getting all this attention, but fine, she would sing her song.

ANDRINA: YOU’RE ON THE PHONE WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND SHE’S UPSET...

What follows is an extremely sarcastic rendition of YOU BELONG WITH ME remixed with upbeat electronic club tones and featuring a showstopping dance break. ANDRINA remarks that if she can’t prove that Tony broke her heart, she can prove that she had the best performance. 

ADELLA remarks that ANDRINA did steal the show, but it’s not over yet. She launches into a sincere and heart-wrenching rendition of...

ADELLA: NEVER THOUGHT WE’D HAVE OUR LAST KISS I NEVER IMAGINED WE’D END LIKE THIS YOUR NAME, FOREVER THE NAME ON MY LIPS...

She sings LAST KISS and explains how she fell for TONY hard, and she still wonders why he dumped her and whether he really loved her. There is a solemn silence.

ARISTA agrees that she fell for TONY too, but now, she can look back on the memories fondly. She mentions that red is her favorite color (and her tail color, of course) is...

ARISTA: LOSING HIM WAS BLUE LIKE I’VE NEVER KNOWN MISSING HIM WAS DARK GRAY ALL ALONE REGRETTING HIM WAS LIKE TRYING TO KNOW SOMEBODY I NEVER MET BUT LOVING HIM WAS RED

*~*~*~*~*~*~INTERMISSION~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The curtain rises, and now it’s MELODY’S turn to bring the energy up. She reminisces on TONY’S classic vibe, and reaches the realization that it was probably because he was immortal. But it also meant he was a bit old-fashioned, which she liked for a bit, but eventually... it went out of STYLE.

MELODY: YOU’VE GOT THAT JAMES DEAN  DAYDREAM LOOK IN YOUR EYE AND I’VE GOT THAT RED-LIPPED CLASSIC THING THAT YOU LIKE...

She passes the microphone to AQUATA, expecting her to sing a cruel breakup song. But instead AQUATA admits that she had feelings for TONY-- a lot of feelings. So many that she hated how smitten she was with him, and she’s still embarrassed about it.

AQUATA

YOU’RE SO COOL, IT MAKES ME HATE YOU SO MUCH... YOU’RE SO GORGEOUS, I CAN’T SAY ANYTHING TO YOUR FACE ‘CAUSE LOOK AT YOUR FACE AND I’M SO FURIOUS  AT YOU FOR MAKING ME FEEL THIS WAY BUT WHAT CAN I SAY? YOU’RE GORGEOUS

Surprised at herself, AQUATA passes the mic off as quickly as possible to ALANA, who reveals that she actually does not remember TONY at all. Somehow, the curse skipped her.

ALANA: I FORGOT THAT YOU EXISTED IT ISN’T LOVE, IT ISN’T HATE  IT’S JUST INDIFFERENCE... SO YEAH

The rest of the Tritons stare at ALANA in confusion-- why didn’t she mention this before? But now there is just one competitor left, Ariel, who also thinks this contest is dumb, and instead takes the moment to address her song to some current relationship drama she’s going through...

ARIEL: BETTY I WON’T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT WHY YOU SWITCHED YOUR HOMEROOM BUT I THINK IT’S ‘CAUSE OF ME...

Which is such an iconic song that everyone forgets about the contest altogether. They decide to forget all about TONY once again and instead sing a song dedicated to each other...

ARIEL: I’M ONLY UP WHEN YOU’RE NOT DOWN

ALANA: DON’T WANNA FLY 

AQUATA: IF YOU’RE STILL ON THE GROUND

MELODY: IT’S LIKE NO MATTER WHAT I DO...

ANDRINA: WELL, YOU DRIVE ME CRAZY

ADELLA: HALF THE TIME

ARISTA: THE OTHER HALF I’M ONLY TRYING

ATTINA: TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WHAT I FEEL IS TRUE

ALL: AND I’M ONLY ME WHEN I’M WITH YOU!!

Dancing, confetti cannon, party time, everyone in the audience gets up and joins the party. Epic guitar solo. THE END.
