COCKTAIL CLASSES WITH @theotanaka

Cora leaned forward on the counter, her eyes following Theo's movements as he gathered the various bottles, shakers, and weird contraptions he needed for the drinks he was about to demonstrate to her. "So, honestly, how much participation is expected from me? Because, truthfully, I'm most excited for the drinking portion of the evening," she admits with a chuckle. Making drinks seemed awfully complicated when she could just order one at a bar.

where - the carnival

Celeste debated even going to this thing since these big events always highlighted how alone she felt as she watched couples or families all together, but ultimately she found herself going anyways, even caving and buying herself a rather large cotton candy to just pick at as she walked around.

She didn't get far though before she heard a little girl crying and she looked over, seeing the heartbroken girl and her ice cream dropped on the boardwalk. A second later, Celeste realized who she was with- seeing Theo, her coworker. She'd heard him speak of his daughter, so she figured this must be who it was. Darting through the crowd, Celeste quickly headed over, briefly meeting Theo's eyes before she crouched down in front of the little girl, "Hey! It's okay! You wanna try of some this? I couldn't decide between pink or blue, so I got a mix of both and they're super yummy together. And it's fun to eat, which means noooo crying."

Okay looking at this screenshot again, I noticed it’s a dress and not a super weird pair of pants. I don’t know what I was thinking 🙃

While I do still like it, I’d take the suit and cape over this.

"I'm drunk in the back of the car and I cried like a baby coming home from the bar..." Will sang along to the lyrics, hands tapping against the steering wheel as he sped out of town with Logan in the passenger seat and Theo and Ralph in the back seat. They were all singing along as he slowly dropped the top on the convertible, the weather having let up a bit with the sun being out. As the song transitioned into the next, Will lowered the volume so Logan could hear him. They were on their way to a belated birthday celebration in Vegas now that Landon had been found and Will had pulled out all the stops at his fathers casino and resort. It was sure to be a fun filled weekend that helped them disconnect from the chaos a bit. "So what's first on the list, hm? I've got everything booked ahead of time for you to choose from but I know we're gonna need some quality pool time. All you can eat buffet of course. I think TSwift themed karaoke can also be arranged." @logandonovan

Wesley did not remember what time he went to bed. He had ended up sleeping in, he was lucky that was able to fall asleep and not remember any dreams. He had slept through his alarm which was rare for him because he was often awake before the sun came up or before his son woke up but this morning Ollie had gotten up early and came into his room jumping on his bed.

He made breakfast and placed Ollie food on his tiny desk and chair when he heard a ring on the door. He walked toward the door and opened it and saw who it was and it was Theo. "Hey, omg I am so sorry I forgot we had plans today," he remembered for a moment. Wes had been so busy and distracted lately. "Come in, I just made some pancakes and eggs. There is plenty." he added moving out of the way for the other to walk in.

"I bought those fruit snacks you love. I tried them today, way too sweet for me. When was the last time you went to a dentist?" If anyone could see Valentina in the moment they couldn't recognize her with how at ease she was. But that's because her relaxed demeanor was reserved for really two people at this point. Her mother. And Theo. It was an unlikely friendship that had turned into a bit more. In many ways she thought of him as the younger brother she had deserved, not that she would ever say it out loud. But she cared for him and made it a point to take care of him since he did so much to just remind her that she existed purely to exist. It was known that she didn't tolerate many men but Theo was easily an exception to that rule. "I was thinking we could either watch Hallmark or check out one of those freaky documentaries, what are you feeling? Tell me about your day. Did you see any dogs?" @theodoreknox

It had been over 20 years since their divorce – the two got married far too young and the stress of being unable to concieve mixed with their immaturity caused the downfall of their marriage. After the initial hiccup of awkwardness post divorce, it had ended up too hard to stay away from one away. Afterall, they had been bestfriends and it was hard not to stay bestfriends. Theo couldn't help but wonder what might have happened if he had Giovanna might have made it had they got married later - if maybe he'd just been patient and confessed his feelings later. Regardless, he knew their friendship was enough, though he still struggled with jealousy over her 20 years later.

"I don't know, G…" he said, turning the corner as he drove her home after she accompanied him to one of his company parties for the millionth time. She was his forever plus 1, and most of his employees didn't believe they weren't together. "I'm just saying that Richard of all people is not the guy you want to get involved with." She had made one comment - Richard had a nice jaw-line, and Theo was in the midst of a 5 minute rant. "You didn't hear it from me, but above everything else, Tara said he was laundering money from his company. I mean, Adrian took a change letting himself work his way up the ranks just for him to… to exploit him like that–"

The past couple of days had been anything short of hectic and Arianne hated it. finals were the bane of her existence even though she knew for a fact that she wouldn’t fall anywhere short of perfect. Success was the only way she could feel somewhat better about the fact that everything she had ever done, even down to her choice of college had be upsetting to her parents. She was zoned out, staring out into the city skyline while Veronica and Theo went back and forth about something she wasn’t paying attention to. That was when her phone started going off and Beau’s picture took over her screen. She reached out, silencing it hopefully before either of them noticed. “Fuck..” she whispered, “i feel like I missed the last five or ten minutes of this conversation..”

no puede negar que el la interrupción de ophelia la deja sorprendida. es difícil saber como reaccionar a lo que acaba de escuchar. "al parecer todos tienen un montón de problemas con mantener la boca cerrada." aprieta sus labios y mira al contrario antes de volver a hablar. "yo no dije nada. y lo mismo debió de haber hecho el resto. ¿desde cuando se volvió tan difícil mentir?"

deja que la pausa y el caos del momento los envuelva, porque por su parte todavía sigue anonadado. le parece que ambos asumieron demasiado rápido. ' creo que hablamos muy pronto. ' señala. ophelia apenas y desaparece de la vista de todos, casi dejándolo con la mínima cantidad de aire para que pueda respirar. ' asumo que estás igual de jodida que el resto, ¿no? '

[ella-cooper]

"Higher dude, I gotta get higher, the people throwing these shits are short!" Ella did their best to try not to fall off of Theo's shoulders as they tried their best to catch the shirts that were being thrown into the crowd. "Okay, steady, steady. Use those glutes and stand firm, Knox or we're losing our." @theodoreknox

Crimes of Passion

Name: Theo Rose-Collette

Age: 31

Pronouns: They/Them

Hobbies: Photography, Guitar, Puzzles, Work (they’re a workaholic)

Theo’s signature look is a black beanie, leather jacket, and jeans. Their hair is either really long and really short, no in between. They’re not big on maintenance, and the beanie helps on days Theo doesn’t feel like taking care of their hair. Once they get annoyed with it, they chop it all off.

After Theo’s dad passed, their mom remarried, and they now has three half siblings. They were never as close to their mom as their dad, and they aren’t super close with their siblings either because of the age gap.

The one thing Theo was able to bond with their mom over was music. Their mom used to be in a band taught Theo how to play the guitar. Theo likes rock, metal, and older country music (a bit guilty pleasure because they feel like it conflicts with their tough persona).

Theo is definitely not a people person. Their uncle Tommy, Ruby, Luke, and Maflada are pretty much the only people they’d talk to before Trystan came along. Theo was definitely slow to warm up to Trystan and was put off by her over the top personality, but once they got to know her better they started to develop feelings. Though Theo tried to push it down, after Trystan was stabbed, and Theo thought they might lose her, they decided to take the plunge and admit how they felt.

"And that's exactly why I'm never going to a party without you again. Or I'm just staying home with you cause that thing seriously sucked." Will sat back in his gaming chair as he and Theo sat in front of the TV waiting for the game to load. At this point it was their joint mancave with how much they had decorated it. The matching game chairs just a small part of it all. "And I ran into, do you remember Mikki? The person I was seeing back in Vegas? Talk about a head trip dude." He was quiet for a moment before he thought for a moment longer. "You know anything about this Dante guy?" @theodoreknox

[coradeveraux]

"Exactly. I don't know many people who would go into a novel and wouldn't feel cheated if shit hit the fan on the last page." Cora sure would. There were enough shitty love stories in real life, she didn't need to have one more printed out. "Will you? I like all things sparkling and fruity. Making my own drinks would probably be way less expensive, especially given the novel I haven't been writing." @theotanaka

Theo chuckled, shaking his head. "You're right about the novels. People crave that escape, the certainty of a happy ending. It's comforting, especially when life doesn't always work out that way." He smiled warmly at her, knowing that feeling maybe a little too well. But he knew most people felt that way. "Nah, if it all fails I'll teach you how to make some pretty cocktails, don't worry." @coradeveraux

where: theo's office, the red rose casino when: february (date unspecified) noon whom: @dcvth

The love she had for her cousin was immense. He and his sister had checked on her more when she was away than most, and it wasn't like he could do much about what was happening to them (she and Evie) but he'd still made the effort.

It meant that her loyalties had been easy when he'd realized her art gallery could be useful in funneling money. It meant that he didn't even have to ask, she'd offered it up the moment she'd been integrated into the Jabberwocks. It meant that she had eventually earned the rank of Consigliere in his new regime and that their weekly tea dates ended up, sometimes, being far more electrified than usual.

This wasn't a tea date, however. This was Adeline waltzing into his office at the Casino, a file under her arm and a bag across her shoulder, depositing one, then the other, straight onto his desk, "This month had an overflow from purchases. A young woman went full bore on buying art for the sake of it and we ended up with more than enough to funnel back into new pieces to sell, but I figure I'll let you handle the general acquisition papers."

A hand reached out to tap the file, "Also, this is the current list of names of people pushing money into the gallery for your purposes rather than legitimate. Some of them are... perhaps a bit late on their payments? I don't want to condemn anyone but if we hadn't had that boon of influx things might have been a little sideways in overhead."

She wasn't an accountant by any measure — good with money, yes, hence the laundering — but it wasn't actually her job to keep the books. Most of this was information she shared so that he wouldn't be surprised later and that was the very beginning of how they were with one another.

A shift brought her backside to the corner of his desk, leg drawn up slightly as she looked over at him, pursing her lips, "Something feels tense right now, Theo... have you noticed? Like the smell of ozone before the lightning strikes."

[ella-cooper]

"Hey Knox, you still got terrible aim?" Ella smirked as she spotted him in the crowd, feeling like this day was just bringing back so many memories. Sure Ella saw a lot of folks around town here and there and a few came through the lounge but this was different. It was dripping with a kind of nostalgia that had Ella feeling absolutely foolish. "Wanna see who can hit that dunk tank target first? Loser has to go in the tank." @theodoreknox

what do your ocs/mcs/lis smell like? (not in a weird creepy way asdfghjk but in a what's their fav scent/their house smell way yk)

Thanks for the ask! Don’t worry I got what you meant! This got way too long, but it was fun to think about 😄

Dez really likes the scent of mint (and also eats mints/chews mint gum peppermint not wintergreen). I imagine Indigo having a citrusy smell from body wash.

Since Sloane likes lavender I imagine Carolina started using lavender scented shampoo. Also, lots of lavender soaps and candles.

Milo I think would probably have some super strong smelling cologne that gets its smell all over everything. He thinks it smells good, as for anyone else? Not so much 😅

I imagine Eloise and Hana really liking floral smells. Lots of flowers in their house. Gardenias, roses, lilies the works. I would imagine they both use some kind of floral perfume, but with a softer smell.

Elaine loves the smell of the ocean and tries to visit the beach whenever possible. I imagine Liam enjoying the smell of baked bread and baking scents in general (if that makes sense), reminding him of baking with his mother.

Similar to Liam, Lennox and Kate enjoy the smell of baked goods. You’d think they’d be tired of it after working in a bakery all day, but they both have a major sweet tooth. I imagine they still bake at home.

Jade likes the smell of cinnamon and strong smells in general. Naomi enjoys fresh air, nature, and just the smell of the outdoors, bringing her back to her time living on her family’s ranch.

So for Valentine my mind keeps coming back to this really gross smelling candle we had where I used to work that was a Halloween themed scent. I can’t even describe what it smelled like other than strong and gross, but I feel like he’d be into that? Also, herbs and spices. I imagine he’d join Ava on her witchy endeavors.

Marella likes the smell of typical bubble gum, cotton candy, and really any candy related scent. For some reason I imagine Andy liking the smell of movie theater popcorn. Those two probably watch a bunch of ridiculous movies together, so buttery popcorn is a common smell.

Cassie actually likes the smell of garlic. She’s also one that likes smells that remind her of cooking and happier times with her parents. She remembers eating large, strong smelling meals with her family. Garlic reminds her of her favorite garlic and butter noodles. The smell of hay and the forest remind Imogen of her beloved horse. I still picture her to be a major horse girl. Maybe opening up a rescue for them after the story. She also wears fancy perfume, and she likes floral and vanilla scented ones.

Theo likes the smell of coffee and coffee grounds. They needs their coffee in the morning to wake up/stay awake after all nighters. Trystan likes the smell of books having read a lot when she was younger.

Ruelle is another who loves the smell of nature, the forest, the river rushing by. They’re all smells that she can carry with her to remind her of home, even if she’d rather keep on traveling than return. Nia likes the smell of roses and sweet pea. I imagine her gravitating more towards floral and springtime smells.

Charlotte likes the smell of chocolate, crisp air, and wood burning in the fireplace. She enjoys cozy nights in, in the winter. I think of Emma as a fall and pumpkin spice person for some reason, so fall smells.

I imagine both Lily and Olive are super chaotic, and their home probably doesn’t smell too great sometimes, when they’re in their apartment and not supervising the Shadow Den. Lily likes the smell of pizza and uses really outrageous toppings. Olive is pretty similar in liking food smells. Usually fast food/junk food, French fries, potato chips (sour cream and onion). Just because vampires don’t need food, doesn’t mean they don’t like smelling it.

I feel like I don’t “know” Erica and Amalia enough since I’m not too far into It Lives Within, but I’ll probably update this when I figure something out.
