HII I have a very self indulgent request, could you write some headcanons for Isaac with an S/O who’s like Elle Woods from Legally Blonde? She wears a lot of pink, feminine and is extroverted and very bubbly and energetic and just genuinely kind, but also very determined. I rewatched it this morning and remembered how much of my personality is based off her and couldn’t get this idea out of my head. 💕

LEGALLY BLONDE 🔛🔝🗣️💯🙏🙏💯 it's literally in my top five 2000s movies list, I luv Elle sm 😭 (I wrote this while playing Ariana Grande also I just realized I have ice coffee)

On his knees,begging,crying,hes so down bad it's lethal

I've been obsessed with Issac and having a very pop girlie ultra fem s/o and he's most definitely the type of guy to literally be an absolute simp over his partner

like no brooding or hiding, he is genuinely gonna break down because of how sweet you are towards him, he's getting a cavity as we speak

I mentioned that Issac is the type to remember things you tell him and I also believe him and Frankie have girl dad energy, so just getting your nails done and showing them to him and he's just like "ah i see we went with the pink gel and bow charms today"

Going out in public is funny because you have the most Cartoonishly evill man in a fucking cape with the sound of an organ and a murder of crows that follow him and he's just hand in hand with Malibu Barbie

Similarly in the movie of you are the type to be fem and have an interest that doesn't have many people who dress alternative then Issac just loves watching you destroy people with your knowledge (because who says you can't wear a pink dress and enjoy STEAM)

I feel like you two met in the apartment complex maybe Issac is walking by the grey skies city looking lost at all that is around him everything a murky mess , and then as he walks by a flash of pink just runs by him and he's met with this sweet perfume

As he just turns to see you quickly running to catch your train, and he practically can't pull his eyes away from you, you stood out like a sore thumb, as you had just missed your next stop you turn and see him gazing at you

Issac doesn't even realize until you flash him a small smile and quickly strut over to him with your small pumps clicking on the floor

"Hello! Sorry to bother I'm sure your busy but would you have the time with you? " And he's just left with his jaw on the ground

HAIR CAREER you saw Elle in the opening clip her hair is beautiful, and Issac has some nice locks so please give him a whole self care day, he deserves to wear pink jelly under eye patches

"This one smells lovely" "Its bath and body works strawberry pound cake! "

He's loaded and he knows it, he's practically threatening you to take his card and shop til you drop

DID SOMEONE SAY HEART LOCKET NECKLACE

In my Rory hcs I mentioned him watching movies with reader and I do for most hcs but the two of you in your hyper pink furry bed as a small tv you use to own plays an early 2000s movie

"And so because of her stupid boyfriend she wants to go law school" "I see.." Issac says slightly smiling "what?" You reply with a small giggle "well...she seems quite similar to you" "Aw that's so sweet"

confessions of a basurera at heart

okay, i admit it. i am a basurera at heart. yes, you can say i am a hoarder of all things sentimental. i collect food wrappers, letters, notes, concert tickets, handmade (and not) bracelets, bookmarks, trinkets, rosaries, lucky charms, and almost anything that there is a memory to me. i started doing it since i was around ten and about the same time i started a journal. i remember it was a spring notebook with blue stars on its front and back covers and i would paste or use scotch tape to stick those so-called basuras inside. if they were big enough, i would store them inside my first converse shoe box which i painted and decorated with stickers. during that december of 2006, our school had a huge christmas tree which beautifully stood in the quadrangle and we had to make paper stars and write something on it — a wish or special message since all forms of kind expressions are valid on christmastime. we had to be creative in crafting it and on the deadline of passing, we hung it on the tree. finally. time to put out to the universe my feelings and wishes. i wrote there a number that was special to me back then with a brief message and hung it on the side part. back story, i had a mistake in my first try of designing so i had to make another one. the obsessive-compulsive girl in me at ten had to redo it to meet my very own standards. so the first paper star which did not make its debut to the tree, i pasted in my journal and each time i looked at it, i remember its story. what a memorable basura, i thought. and so that became my earliest memory of being a basurera at heart.

that habit of collecting basuras continued in the years that came along. i kept pistachio shells (don’t judge me) that were shared between me and special people which i have already forgotten when, both hand-written and computer-typed retreat and birthday letters, chocolate wrappers (of flat tops; the only ones i can remember), rosary bracelets that were given to me, and most of all, piattos roadhouse barbecue chips wrapper, if i can remember correctly, because it was given to me by my crush. my bestfriend laughed and looked at me wide-eyed like i was some crazy girl when i kept it inside my clearbook. but who cares? my crush shared to me his precious merienda and i have to cherish it. so there — it was neatfully sealed with few crumbs because i cleaned it. safe and preserved. i internally laugh when i look back at it now but i honestly don’t regret it. i still want to do it again, in fact, for it makes a very amusing story. storing those things is like holding concrete memories. anyway, i kept that clearbook away from any food so the ants would not feast on my “hidden treasure”.

in the more recent years, i kept concert tickets, receipts, and cards in my wallet (the new safe haven of my basuras). upon holding it, you would immediately feel its heftiness and it’s because of the coins. no, i don’t collect coins in particular. i just have this mindset of “saving them for future use” until they were already converted into paper bills by my mother because according to her, carrying my wallet is like “carrying a bag of stones”. so that explains its weight. the papers aside from the bills are notes of important things i have to remember and receipts from restaurants where i had the heartiest of meals. the cards aside from atms are of prayer and loyalty cards. there used to be some calling cards there too but they make me feel like an adult from the early 2000’s so i let go of them eventually. not my kind of basura. sometimes, i also insert earrings in the coin purse area because i believe that statement earrings instantly give you a put-together look. i had dangling ones and pearls there from time to time. quick trivia: do you know that pearl earrings make a woman look even more beautiful than she already is? if yes, then good for you. that’s a magic trick to appear blooming. if not, then good for you now because you finally know. try it. you will feel and look more radiant than ever.

back to my basuras, i take my precious time in using products that i can’t keep forever. for example, i received this pocket-sized bath and body works eucalyptus tea hand gel as my christmas present from a workmate way back in december 2018. although i enjoyed its scent so much that i want to slather generous amounts of it on my hands every chance that i can get, i only take small amounts so it can stay longer with me. i don’t know if that sounds normal and if you guys do it too if faced with the same situation, but that’s just the way i roll. so occasionally, i would share it with friends and workmates because it just lives in my wallet together with my other treasures (and yes, it’s that palm-sized small that i can easily insert it in any pocket). its oh-so-good scent can make someone’s day brighter and it wouldn’t cost me much to bring some brightness on a person’s day. at least, that’s how it is for me. i would ask them then and there if it was indeed pleasant and expectedly, their euphoric eyes would give them away before they can admit it to me. and they even ask for more! so i’d share more but in a teeny-tiny amount since the rest are for me to enjoy. i can’t blame them. it really smells that good. i even want a perfume version of it. maybe i’d search it some time. ‘til now, almost two years after it was gifted to me, it’s still half full and safely residing in my kikay kit — its new home from my wallet.

you see, not all basuras stink. some have stories or maybe that’s just how i look at them. maybe i’d buy myself a pretty bin for my upcoming golden treasures. the only one i have, the converse shoebox which i have mentioned, is still sturdy up to this day and is buried inside an antique cabinet in our ancestral house where i grew up. it sits beside a vintage radio owned by my lola that i used to turn on and listen to djs and songs at night when inwas fifteen. why? because taylor swift told me to keep listening to the radio no matter what. so i did, right after listening to her fearless album in a cd player from another corner of the room. anyway, i didn’t bring that box here with me in manila and i don’t have plans to. i want it there in its original habitat because i like flying back to my hometown every december, a year older and wiser, and finding that old treasure box, as if i’m in a movie, but already knowing what basuras are inside and the stories they each tell.
