PULL UP THE TRUMPETS- cause it's the royal au for today's @derek-week-event 's theme, AU.

Okay please get my visions, as kids they used to see each other during royal banquets but grew with distance as this events stopped to happens frequently, keeping contact through letters and pinning for a decade before they could meet again....

Derek Week Day One: Pinky Promise

Entry for the first day of @derek-week-event ‘s Derek Week! I wanted to just start with something moderately simple that also visually portrays the warmth and coziness that I associate with Luella and Derek’s relationship. The other pieces will probably have their actual faces and appearances LOL

I also liked the idea of giving Derek a bandaid because I personally think that, given all the sports he was in, and his active family, he’d get quite a bit of scratches and cuts.

Also I think Luella’s chipped nail polish is very cute for her younger self…

I apologize for tumblr tanking the quality ahh

Day 2: Hanging Out Wren is pretty competitive and really into sports, like Derek! So it makes sense why they would really get along when they were younger. @derek-week-event One day I'll spend more then a minute on colouring and rendering... Also shoutout to the clipart soccer ball because I couldn't be bothered (((°▽°)八(°▽°)))♪ Also yes, that's Cove and my Cove MC, Kel, in the background. Cove: Why are we even here?? Kel: IDK but do you wanna make daisy chains? *Wren and Derek playing some serious soccer*

Also shoutout to this pic because I could NOT figure out how to draw kids playing soccer... Like my brain is limited...

Derek x MC Week Day 7 - Derek's Day!

Hosted by @derek-week-event

Set after Step 4

Derek and Patricia made their way out of a stadium and back to their car in the orange glow of twilight. For Derek’s Day this year he wanted to see a basketball game. Derek was pumped up from the game while Patricia was drained from all the excitement. Derek was more than happy to let her rest on the long drive back to Prism Vista City.

After around an hour of driving Derek pulled into the parking lot of the big park that was a familiar sight to the both of them. He shook Patricia awake and she looked confused by their location.

“Sorry, there's one final stop for this year's Derek’s Day,” explained Derek. He got out of the car and waited patiently for Patricia to join him.

The two of them started walking through the park and Derek said, “It seems like this day gets better every year. I'm glad you're willing to do this for me each time.”

“Of course,” said Patricia, “You deserve a day all about making you happy when you make me and so many others happy every day.”

Derek smiled. He looked carefully at where they had walked. It was an area of the park they had been to a couple times before. Where they babysat Derek’s brothers over a decade ago. Where a few years ago Derek made a breakthrough with coming to terms with his issues. Derek looked at Patricia fondly. She had been there to help him each time. He cleared his throat and said, “You know. There's one thing that would make this a perfect day.” Patricia looked at him curiously.

Derek got on the ground, positioned himself on one knee, pulled a box out of his pocket, and opened it to reveal a beautiful ring. “Patricia Smithe, will you marry me?”

Patricia fell to her knees as tears of joy flooded her eyes. She grasped Derek’s hands and said, “Yes! Of course! A thousand times yes!”

The newly engaged couple embraced and kissed each other under the moonlight.

1. Pinky Promise

You were sitting on the beach together, enjoying the tray of fruit you bought for the occasion.  You made sure to add plenty of mango. Cove had already left for work, not so sneakily winking at you as he left you and Derek alone.  You blushed and dramatically fell back into the sand, covering your face.  Derek tried to hide his chuckle behind his hand.

This was the last weekend you both had free before you left for college.  You would be staying local, so not much was changing for you.  Derek had gotten a soccer scholarship at Clemson.  You were beyond excited for him, but it felt like you would never see him again.  Sadness started creeping in at the reminder.  This might actually be the last time you saw him, and the thought broke your heart.  Sure you had promised to marry when you were older if you were both still single, but there was no way Derek would still be single.

And if he really wanted to date you he would have told you by now.  You sighed and sat up causing Derek to look at you with concern.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing really.  I was just thinking how much I will miss you.”

“We only get to see each other a few weekends in summer already, but we can still call and text as much as you want.  I know it's not the same though.”

“Yeah, but want if you get to college and make way better friends?”

Derek rolled his eyes.  “Not possible.”

“Obviously possible and likely.  And you will meet someone you like and get married and never come back and I will never come back and..”  You were breathing faster and faster as the words fell out of your mouth.

He pulled you into a hug and rubbed you back until your breathing slowed down. “Hey.  It’s ok.  None of that is going to happen.” He soothed.

“I'm sorry.  That’s selfish of me.  I want you to be happy wherever you end up.  I just don’t want to be left behind.  Ignore me.  I'm being stupid.”

“I promise, that is never going to happen.” He grinned at you and held out his pinky.

You giggled and linked your pinky with his.  “Pinky promise it is.  Now I know it’s true.  I promise too.  We are going to always be a team.”

I am off to a late start.....

Derek Suarez Week Day 6: "Amuesment Park"

I read this prompt and my mind went directly to doing something in Sims 4 because one of the packs (high school one) I own has a F E R R I S W H E E L, it was destined to happen.

So I tried my best at making my Derekmancing MC Claire and Derek in Sims and I diiid OK? Derek was by far the hardest to get the features right going from 2D to 3D. In my head Claire looks like she could be the long lost- and equally aestheticly cool Alex Chen from Life is Strange: True Colors.

I see these two goofballs spending their day visiting every stall and trying to win all the games and even competing and who can get the most stuffed animals and pizes for the other. Eating greasy food from the boardwalk and taking a turn on the rollercoaster - Claire holding Derek's hand in an iron grip the whole time. Then of course ending the trip with a ride on the ferris wheel.

I decided to be insane and drew another comic page

Day 7: Derek's Day!!!!!!

I can't believe this week is over and I can't believe that I was able to draw every single day

If it hasn't been obvious already lol, Derek is my favourite li and character in olba! I'm really happy that this event was hosted (thanks to @derek-week-event!) to congratulate my boy (and spread the Derek propaganda...)

By the way, did you know that 29th of September of 2022 is actually the day his dlc was oficially out? (Pretty basic info, I know, but let me have my fun lol) That's why I drew two candles on the cake, it has been two years since then :)

Sooo... Happy Birthday, big guy!!

[crowdeerdire]

Day 3: Pining Step 3 Wren and Derek are dumb... If only they talked to each other??? Emotions are weird... Also I'm more seeing Wren as a side character and not the main MC of the OLBA game (aka being raised by Noelani and Pam). Their story keeps coming to me in DROVES. One day I may write it out. :))) @derek-week-event

Day 3: Pining (Derek Suarez x Larisa Last (MC))

@derek-week-event

summary: Larisa has a phone call with Derek which in turn, leads her to think about the deal that had made right before summer ended.

if you’d rather read it on ao3 it’s right here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/59182804

It was Friday, and school had just ended for the day. Larisa opened the front door to her house, relieved that the weekend was here. She quickly closed the door behind her and kicked off her shoes.

Larisa hurriedly greeted her moms before heading upstairs to finish her homework—who gives homework on the weekends? Larisa’s worst enemy: her math teacher, Ms. Woodstill. Once she reached her room, Larisa tossed her backpack onto her bed before flopping down and groaning a bit. After her groaning session, she pulled herself up from her comfortable bed, grabbed her backpack, unzipped it, and pulled out the worksheet that was stuffed inside.

After placing the worksheet on her desk, she smoothed out the wrinkles caused by carelessly stuffing the paper into her bag. Larisa then plopped down in her desk chair and got to work.

—

It took her a while, but she finally finished her assignment. As Larisa stretched her back, she stood up and stuffed the worksheet back into her backpack.

Guess all that smoothing out was for nothing, huh?

Anyways, Larisa rushed out of her room, making her way to the home phone downstairs. As she did, she crossed her fingers, hoping no one got to the phone before her.

When she made it to the living room, Larisa let out an internal sigh of relief, seeing the phone in its cradle. She lifted it into one hand and quickly entered a phone number, bouncing her leg excitedly as she waited for someone to pick up.

“Hello, Suarez residence,” she heard a familiar feminine voice say.

“Hello, Mrs. Suarez! This is Larisa! Um, is Derek available?” She tried her best not to sound too excited. “Hey, Larisa!” Mrs. Suarez hummed, “Yes, he is. Hold on a moment; I’ll get him.” Larisa grinned and started to play with the hem of her skirt. “Thank you!”

Larisa made sure to call Derek every week, eager to keep him updated on everything happening in Sunset Bird. Well, it’s more like she was eager to talk with Derek.

Soon, Larisa heard Derek’s voice come through the phone speaker. “Larisa, hey!” She returned his greeting and made idle chatter with him as she went back into her room. “So, how’s school been so far?” Derek asked as Larisa sat on her bed. “It’s been… okay,” she began. “Some of my classes are really stressful, but I’m Larisa Last; I can handle it.” She chuckled, laying back on her bed with the phone still in hand. “Right, you can! Just know that I’m here to support you no matter what. We’re still Team Last, after all!” Derek’s words made Larisa’s smile grow softer and her stomach flutter. “Right!”

For some odd reason, Derek’s words made her think back on that deal they had made—about getting married if they were still single when they were older.

Larisa imagined wearing a beautiful, colorful wedding dress and what Derek would look like dressed in a tasteful suit. Well, if they do get married in the future, Cove has to be Larisa’s best man. Er, butler of honor?

‘What’s the masculine version of maid of honor?’ she wondered to herself.

Anyways, the wedding cake would be chocolate because chocolate is the best flavor of all time, obviously. The cake would be covered in pastel frosting with white edible decorations. It would take place somewhere fancy.

Oh, yes! Larisa was getting excited just thinking about it! She just had to be patient and wait ten years, then she and Derek would have their perfect wedding.

Her daydream was soon interrupted by the man of the hour speaking up. “Uh, Larisa? Everything alright?” he asked, concerned.

“Hm? Sorry, I was lost in thought…” Larisa responded, embarrassment creeping over her. “Anyways, how’s school been for you?” She tried to keep her voice as neutral as possible.

“Don’t sweat it!” Derek said. “School’s been alright. I’ve mainly been focusing on sports and stuff.” Larisa acknowledged this before continuing to talk with Derek.

Unfortunately, their conversation was cut short by the familiar sound of stomping. The stomper opened the door, and there she was—Elizabeth. Larisa’s giddy smile was replaced by a small pout, realizing that she had been on the phone for too long.

Elizabeth smirked at the sight and stated matter-of-factly, “Time’s up.”

“Sorry, Derek, I gotta go. Bye!” Larisa sighed as she said her goodbyes. “I understand. Talk to you later!” he replied. Larisa pressed the end call button, but before she knew it, the phone was whisked out of her hand, and Elizabeth was out of her room.

Thankfully, she closed the door behind her.

—

Larisa was finally alone in her room—alone with her thoughts.

She hopped off her bed and grabbed her sketchbook and pencil that were tossed on top of her dresser. With her sketchbook in hand, Larisa flopped back onto her bed. She smiled to herself and opened up her sketchbook to a blank page.

Holding the pencil properly, she began to sketch a figure similar to herself. After cleaning up the sketch a bit, Larisa carefully drew out a wedding dress.

She pulled the pencil away from the paper and looked over her drawing. The dress was fitted at the top and then flowed at the bottom; it was sleeveless and floor-length. Larisa put the eraser part of the pencil to her lips, pondering what color the dress should be.

Purple? Light blue? Or would a passionate red be more suited? Or should she stick with pastel?

‘Whatever,’ she thought, closing her sketchbook and sitting up to stretch. ‘Ten years is a long way away; I have enough time to decide.’

Larisa hoped that no one would steal Derek’s heart before then.

She put away her sketchbook for safekeeping as she continued to ponder her future with Derek.

‘If we get married, I want Derek to take my last name. Derek Last… would he be okay with that?’ Larisa smiled to herself as she started to head out of her room. ‘I guess I wouldn’t mind being Larisa Suarez.’

She twisted the doorknob, opened the door, and left the sanctuary of her room, thoughts of her and Derek swirling in her mind.
