#dw i did eat and drink water and such after the 7 straight hours of sewing

[umbrellahat07]

You ever start sewing and get really invested and nothing distracts you from it for a long time? And then you look up and it's been 7 hours? And then you realize you haven't moved or eaten or drank water or gone to the bathroom in that time? Cause that would be crazy idk why anyone would do that...

(This is kinda a grew up in the wasteland au version)

1. What is your name?

Cecil Jones

2. Do you know why are you named that?

I suppose my parents found it a pretty name?

3. Are you single or taken?

Uhm I don’t know? nothing official has been said or established. 

4. Have any abilities or powers?

I like to tinker with robotics and terminals I don’t like to brag but I think I’m pretty nifty at it!

5. Stop being a Mary Sue.

I don’t think I’m a Mary Sue at all! I’ve practiced hard for the stuff I’m good at and I’m sure I don’t know all the things there are to learn yet. I have plenty of stuff I am terrible at.

6. What’s your eye color?

My mom says they’re green, while my pops says they’re blue it’s kinda in between I suppose depending on the lighting too I guess.

7. How about your hair color?

It’s an auburn brownish color but in the midday sun you can definitely see tints of it being ginger.

8. Have any family members?

My parents and older brother!

9. Oh? How about pets?

I’ve always wanted a dog as a kid, though my mom wasn’t really feeling it having to clean after it, she prefers cats but my dad has an allergy for those. I keep a water bowl right outside my workshop for the cats and dogs walking around the settlement they come inside sometimes when it’s raining for shelter or too hot and want to look off.

10. That’s cool, I guess. Now tell me something you don’t like?

Raiders, Rust Devils more specifically. They have messed with our settlement plenty of times mainly for my workshop. I’ve been too up close with them plenty of times for my liking.

11. Do you have any activities/hobbies that you like to do?

Other from my robots I like reading comics a lot! OH! and collecting those tiny figures! there so small and cute.

12. Have you ever hurt anyone in any way before?

I’ve shot at some raider but I try to be a pacifist. 

13. Ever… killed anyone before?

If I did it was probably a lucky shot at a raider.

14. What kind of animal are you?

As in like a spirit animal? I don’t know. . . never thought about it. A dog? a radstag? I don’t have multiple limbs or heads though. so let’s stick with a dog.

15. Name your worst habits?

I have lots of trouble sleeping and maybe fell asleep in my workshop more times then I’d like to admit. Maybe I should install a bed there though that would probably only encourage that. When I do finally fall asleep it’s either for really long and I over sleep or I only get an hour of sleep in and then jolting awake.

And when I tend to get those nightmares I might start drinking a bit too much it kinda numbs me and makes me sleepy I try not to over do it though! 

But I might also stress smoke. But please don’t tell my mom I told her the ashtray in my workshop is for costumers.

16. Do you look up to anyone at all?

Ow most definitely! The minute men and their General are doing great work and helped a lot with the defenses around our settlement making it a lot easier to feel save at night. I make sure to try and give them supplies when they need it.

17. Are you gay, straight or bisexual?

I’ve been curious about being maybe romantic with men, I’ve most definitely have had crushed on women before so I guess I’m Bisexual?

18. Do you go to school?

My parents have home schooled me and my brother mostly of what books and knowledge there is to find around the wasteland

19. Ever want to marry and have kids one day?

I’d love to get married one day, I don’t know if I’d make a good dad I hope so taking care of a child in such a place kinda scares me.

20. Do you have any fangirls/fanboys?

I thinks the Rust Devils are the closest to it they won’t leave me and my robotics alone!

21. What are you most afraid of?

My family and friends getting hurt. I’ve had and still have a lot of nightmare about it I try to do everything there is to avoid it. I’d give up everything for them.

22. What do you usually wear?

I try to stay comfortable usually my go to’s are jeans and a t-shirt. I do love a graphic t-shirt. a bomber jacket for when it gets a bit colder.

23. What’s one food that tempts you?

I do love potato crisps but my dad makes sure we eat healthy

24. Am I annoying to you?

what no? why?

25. Well, it’s still not over!

oke.

26. What class are you (low/middle/high)?

I guess middle?

27. How many friends do you have?

A hand full? Do robots count?

28. What are your thoughts on pie?

My mother makes the BEST pie! You should try it!

29. Favorite drink?

Nuka Cola Classic but Cherry is also nice on occasion. 

30. What’s your favorite place?

My workshop and when I want to go for a walk I like to go to the dam overlooking the Walden Pond sit on the nearby rocks thinking.

31. Are you interested in anyone?

Uuh I guess I am, You won’t tell him right?! it’s so embarrassing but the General I mentioned? yea he’s pretty .. cute I guess.  He’s reckless at times scaring the shit out of me. I’m always pretty worried when he’s gone and hasn’t been back for a while.

32. That was a stupid question…

It wasn’t stupid! was nice to chat about it haven’t really told anyone. maybe the cat that follows me to the damn, idk why he stalks me I guess he thinks I have snacks.

33. Would you rather swim in a lake or the ocean?

Preferably I won’t swim at all I don’t trust water until it’s been purified. My dad taught me how to swim pretty early on scared I’d other wise drown some day playing near the dam.

34. What’s your type?

I guess someone nice? friendly to others, funny, empathetic, compassionate but strong and maybe shares some of my interests as well?

35. Any fetishes?

Uuuh I don’t think I’m very comfortable with that question, I don’t know you that well and kinda confessing my crush on the General was already a lot for me.

36. Camping or outdoors?

Outdoors as like open air no tent or cover? Camping I guess? I’d like to have something to somewhat shield me from danger or weather.

[glitterghast]

tell me more abt the modern au .... pls

okay so i completely let myself get carried away with this au. like…i need to put it all under a cut so that people don’t wind up with a massive wall of text on their dashboards

so yeah, it’s modern day and a poly au and the best way i can think to describe it all is through dot-points. but essentially, it starts before they all even know each other.

Jenny:

- likes girls and guys, with a slight preference for girls

- wears skinny jeans and oversized hoodies, or pretty dresses and cardigans. no in between

- a nurse at the local hospital, works with patsy

- was dating jimmy before she even knew any of the others

- listen,,, poly jenny/jimmy/alec technically kickstarted the entire poly ship in this au 

- meets trixie through some first aid course she was conned into doing at the school

- they kinda danced around their mutual crush for a while before jimmy and alec did the whole “oh yeah why don’t the four of us go out tonight- whoops we suddenly can’t go, guess it’s just you two” kinda thing

- always has to be the first one awake in the morning

- almost always arguing with patsy over how things should be organised. they can never agree

- she swears the most out of everyone 

Trixie:

- likes girls and guys equally. bisexual and not afraid to call you out on your bullshit stereotypes

- no change of fashion from canon

- dyes her hair weird colours

- has a history of addiction that she’s almost entirely recovered from by the time she meets everyone else

- works as a kindergarten teacher

- has known cynthia for a year; lived in the apartment across from her and gives her lifts to work

- dated cynthia before they met any of the others, even if they’d never admit they were a couple

- drinks too much coffee

- needs to kiss everyone before she leaves for work

- is okay with clutter as long as the Aesthetic™ of the room isn’t ruined

- has a huge dog called max who she dresses up in baby bonnets and carries everywhere

- loves the dog filter, won’t rest until she can get it to recognise max’s face 

- tries to be BFFs with her girlfriends’ mothers 

Cynthia:

- aroace. gets defensive when people think it means she just can’t date people

- long history of mental illness; has had trixie drive her to therapy on multiple occasions

- works at the local library and bookstore

- volunteers at the parish hall and animal shelter

- (it’s entirely her fault that trixie has max)

- has a therapy cat named mary

- met jenny through trixie. they were kinda awkward for a while but…well this is a poly au so the rest is history

- often winds up the middle of cuddle puddles 

- officially dubbed the baby of the group by patsy 

- actually gets the angriest out of everyone 

- can remember everyone’s routines and eating habits. knows just how each person likes their coffee/tea/hot chocolate and what mug they like it in

Barbara:

- fluctuates between saying she’s bi and saying she’s pan. has a preference for guys

- wears cute pinafores and overalls, huge collection of socks 

- has a huge collection of cacti and succulents, calls them her children

- somehow always manages to have a smudge of dirt somewhere

- likes pineapple on pizza 

- works at a cafe in town, knows patsy and delia from how frequently they eat there

- lived with them for a while after her apartment building was scheduled to be knocked down

- effectively the constant third-wheel

- went to school with trixie, had a huge crush on her 

- it takes her ages to figure out that trixie’s dating jenny and cynthia (and by this point that relationship is sorta starting to merge with delia and patsy)

- so it actually kinda takes her ages to join the entire relationship herself 

- (it’s totally patsy and delia who set her up w/ trixie lbh)

- was kinda scared of max for a while

- tries to be the peacekeeper of the group but it rarely works 

- idk whether or not tom exists in this au or not

Patsy:

- trans lesbian

- wears flannel all the time

- “if people can’t tell i’m gay within a second of meeting me, then what’s the point?”

- the only one who doesn’t celebrate christmas, begrudgingly deals with delia going overboard every year 

- constantly exhausted but “coffee is for the weak”

- will kill a man if she doesn’t get nine hours of sleep 

- delia’s high school sweetheart

- gay matchmaker. are you straight? she’ll find you someone that’ll make you rethink that

- can’t cook for shit 

- like seriously she nearly burned the house down trying to boil an egg 

- wants to be a writer, can’t find a moment of peace

- always has a mini first-aid kit on hand (for delia. she’s the only one who ever needs it)

- kicks in her sleep 

Delia:

- gets drunk and gives herself and/or trixie stick-n-pokes 

- takes super long showers, uses the hot water 

- totally didn’t mean to send those nudes to you 

- steals people’s clothes 

Valerie:

- nonbinary

- likes girls exclusively, but has only had boyfriends before (in high school)

- wears horrid 80s fashion (but will always let trixie dress her up)

- plays old video games. she’s really bad at them

- manager at the cafe babs works at 

- went to school with cynthia 

- join the poly group way later

- starts dating trixie and dates only her for a long while (see: nearly a year) before joining the cuddle puddle and moving in

- she and delia argue about pointless shit a lot 

- someone takes their eye off her for a second and she winds up in some small-town jail in scotland 

- sleeps in the latest 

- takes people on the cutest dates 

- rivals trixie for being the neediest affection-wise

so that’s like. the main group. but then you have jimmy and alec who’re dating jenny (and each other) and they’re like…the OG cuddle puddle so i’m gonna include them too even though they don’t move into the same flat like the rest 

Jimmy:

- small bi trans guy 

- like seriously he used to hold the half-inch he had on jenny over her head, and then they met alec and now he has to come to terms with his shortness 

- been dating jenny for like…a while 

- they kind of told people they were dating just so they’d stop asking questions but then it just sort of…became a real thing

- they came out to their parents together because they’re kind of inseparable 

- met alec through working as a carpenter and was like “holy shit i wanna kiss him but i can’t reach his face”

- eventually they came to the decision that it’d be alright if he kissed alec

- so he did? it was very unexpected for everyone involved 

- weirdly enough jimmy’s the start of the poly au 

- shares trixie’s love for the dog filter 

- has This Look when he wants kisses (it always works)

Alec:

- tall™

- dresses all smart and shit but also has a bunch of hoodies (that jimmy and jenny steal)

- is competitive with jenny over everything: finishing books first, getting through the door quicker, giving jimmy more kisses in a day, putting the most juice in their glass without it spilling over 

- doesn’t Get™ snapchat or any other type of social media 

- actually really good at drawing 

- secret art BFFs with delia 

- building inspector; nearly fell through a hole in the ground because he got distracted by jimmy 

- likes to see how much she can annoy jenny before she says something

then there’s like. extra characters who aren’t part of this giant fucking cuddle puddle they’re just there (but they’re important i promise you)

phyllis:

- lives in the flat next to the one the girls move into 

- a retired nurse 

- tries not to be so stern now that she isn’t a nurse anymore

- doesn’t succeed but at least she has a massive soft side

- lives with five cats 

- looks after mary sometimes 

- doesn’t like max at all 

- tries to teach her cats spanish 

- the others worried that she’d be super homophobic but she adores the giant gay family that lives next door 

- delia’s her favourite, though 

- purely because she witnessed her follow patsy barefoot out into the rain, yell “shoe’s are for pussies”, then proceed to climb patsy’s side like a fucking animal and cling to her while the taller girl kept walking 

dr. turner:

- still married to shelagh with all their children dw 

- works with jenny and patsy at the hospital 

- (i still haven’t decided whether shelagh works at the same hospital) 

- he’s basically who patsy and jimmy see about hormones n stuff like that 

- so in the end he kinda finds out about this huge relationship because how else could two of his patients be dating another nurse at the hospital 

- he’s p cool but he’s not really a main part in the au, so i don’t have much of a story for the turner family Whoops 

so that's...essentially it?? tl;dr: jenny knows trixie through work, and meets cynthia through trixie. they meet patsy, jimmy and alec through jenny, and through patsy they meet delia and barbara. and then through barbara they meet valerie. dr. turner and shelagh work with jenny and patsy. and phyllis is their next-door neighbour who probably puts up with far too much shit. this entire response is 6-7 pages in a word document. thank you
