i’ll be honest, i very rarely follow elenas. sometimes it feels ppl water her down to counter the (bs) hate she gets, but i’m so taken with your portrayal! i love that you embrace her character wholly, while giving her the justice she was ultimately robbed of. your balance is seriously so impressive, 20/10 <3

beep beep how’s my portrayal ?

Omg thank you, that's so nice to hear!!

Honestly, I have a love hate relationship with Elena myself, but I think it mostly stems from A) Katherine being the same person as me... and B) the masses of people that pretend Elena is a saint.

I'm really glad I could get all of her qualities across in my writing and not just the favourable ones!!

noah balks in disbelief. now, he's never been particularly bothered by people not recognizing him -- comes in handy sometimes when one is trying to be covert -- but being mistaken for a barista? he can't tell if she's joking or not, but god. what a way to crush an ego. "right. i'm a barista wearing lanvin boots. because people in food and beverage services ... do that."

❝ there’s something very, very strange in these old woods. ❞

he feels it at the base of his spine-- the feeling of being watched by things that don't make themselves known. lucy rubs at the back of her neck, teeth nipping at the inside of her bottom lip.

" there aren't any woods that don't contain something strange. it's part of the whole woods aesthetic. " he grins, followed by a soft click of her tongue. " i wouldn't worry about it, honey. it's better to go out in the morning, anyway. you have no idea what lurks in the brush. "

ㅤㅤthough the ambiance and music of the flower shop are both soothing, aurora feels oddly out of place. this environment is the opposite of what she's used to, and isn't quite sure how to act to seem normal. she figures she should at least buy something considering she took the time to come in, but has no idea where to start. she spots a nearby patron, debating silently for a couple moments as to whether or not she should approach her. when an equally silent fuck it, she turns to the blonde, perfectly manufactured smile settling over her features. ❛❛ you having any luck picking out what flowers you want? ❜❜

@foamsalt . . . continued from HERE .

"What is it you think they told me?" Adelaide asks, curious despite herself. All it took was a singular night for them to be spotted together, for assumptions to be made, for rumors to spread. Then, a visit from Whitney's friends. Or rather, puppets. Their so-called advice, spoken out of concern - so they claimed - had been nothing but thinly veiled vitriol against Paris. Admittedly, she may have believed it all, had she not heard the stories, stories from long before she met Paris. There are merits to gossip, sometimes. Somehow. "And what makes you think I'd believe it?" Brows pulling together in a frown, she exhales deeply, drawing it from the space in her chest hurting for them. "What'd she do to you, honey?" Of course she's heard. Everyone has. It had been a tabloid circus for the ages, but Adelaide wants to hear it from Paris. Not from secondhand sources.

it could have been anything. whitney's creative. she sells snake oil for a living, so she has to be, just in a different way than they are. regardless, it'll all fit into the narrative that paris is no good in some kind of way. the tabloids are more than happy to support this narrative if it ups their engagement, and they find themselves with little fight left in them some days. that's why they're all but pleading with adelaide now, voice much softer, more defeatist than usual.

❝ — a lot of people don't care to really check what's true, ❞ whitney has more influence than her, after all. having a fanbase is nothing compared to years of old money and all its connections backing you up. paris looks away, head hung low.

it's a loaded question. it's a question that spans a year and a half or so of breaking up and getting back together, at its most basic. the details are something they couldn't even disclose to lauren and andie at the time. the leaking of the tape [ and how it framed them, ] is one thing . . . but what went unrecorded in the day - to - day is another. paris refuses to confront it, lest the guilt or feelings of stupidity eat them alive.

❝ she just . . . she twisted everything. all the time. she still does, ❞ a frustrated shake of their head causes their curls to bounce. ❝ i never knew what to expect, or what to do to make her happy. 'cause even if i did things right, and she seemed pleased, she'd always eventually turn it back around . . . throw it in my face. i couldn't even breathe around her, ❞

❛ don’t be a stranger, okay? ❜

You save a girl from an assault once and suddenly shes very kind and grateful to you. Something doesn't add up here. Katherine stayed with her as the return favour. She used her place as a safe house. So where was all of this buddy buddy stuff coming from? Naturally there are no people who are nice to katherine because theyre nice people- SO... this is clearly suspicious behavior.

"Are we best friends now?"

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─── ﹙ ADELAIDE ﹚ tell my muse they look beautiful / handsome. | | | | | | @foamsalt.

it could barely be considered cleaning up nicely —— if anything , he'd found himself dressing down in comparison to his everyday attire. forgoing the comfort of tripp pants adorned with straps and chains hanging from his hips and distressed band shirts being held together by safety pins at well worn and loved seams [ ... ] for something far more plain and borderline characterless. but worry not ! black still consumed him ; a bottomless void lacking much color. and he isn't even sure why —— it's not like he'd made proper plans for the pair to honor the holiday... they were just hanging out.

but the compliment still caught him off guard [ ... ] really , he hadn't expected for her to notice the small change at all. there's a moment of silence that lingered and it allowed for the words to soak into the space between them. if he weren't so terribly humiliated by words of kindness , a much quicker response of gratitude would have followed. unfortunately he couldn't take them with ease —— and so a teasing smile began to form on lips. an early warning sign that some sort of joke was trailing behind. ❛❛ so you like me more when i look boring? ... noted. ❜❜

[bnjmin]

you're always the same. all talk.

@foamsalt!

okay. it's incredibly hard to ignore how that makes him feel, but if he completely shuts down everything like facial expressions and verbalizing for a few long seconds, he think he might be able to get it under control.

except, "fuck you." and it's not all that vicious and it's not even all that mean. it's just his response, really, because he waits and watches and listens to see if maybe she'll pull up any examples.

a shrug, nonchalant but still somehow managing to come across as contemplative. ❛     it's not the worst one i've heard, @foamsalt,     ❜ he says, casting his mind back ( but not too far back, or things might get weird ). ❛     i once knew a man called spurgeon. sometimes i like to think he became a physician. & i knew a girl named novella.     ❜ a pause. ❛     actually, i liked that one.     ❜

What’s the most obvious difference between their behavior at home, at work, at school, with friends, and when they’re alone?

at work when at her fashion company, nina is much more personable. she's very diplomatic and understanding. there's still very much that firmness to her that lets everyone know she runs a tight ship, but once you're past that initial intimidation, she's very approachable.

while i wouldn't call her bubbly, that's definitely not really the energy she brings in her other line of work. there's something about her demeanour that has you at the edge of your seat, squirming around like you're caught in a predator's sights. she's not approachable simply because you wouldn't want to have to, if only you wouldn't have that ominous feeling just interacting with her. it's all in the way she looks at you too.

with friends (she doesn't have a lot), i'd say, she's more mischievous and teasing than you'd think !

so, i guess, all in all... it's the vibe that's different. i know that's such a vague answer but she really is like a snake shedding skins depending on the environment.

What do they tell people they want? What do they actually want?

power + fame, to be known across the globe ! in some ways, i think she does want that. she's a deeply ambitious person. but, after everything that's happened and reflecting on how her experiences have molded her, she really wants to eventually live a quiet life and not have to choose anymore between what her true passions are and her criminal empire.

What do they commonly misinterpret because of their own upbringing / environment / biases? How do they respond when realizing the misunderstanding?

honestly, she misinterprets a lot of humor, or at least, doesn't find some funny. gen z humor most definitely goes over her head, she's not even going to try. when she misunderstands it, she kind of just shrugs it off and always says something like "i don't know why you would ever find that funny". she's really so patronizing at times too, ugh.

What belief / moral / personality trait do they stand by that you (mun) personally don’t agree with?

the importance that i place on material things are nowhere near the importance she places on it. she's a very materialistic person, and is terrified of losing everything she's worked hard for. while i understand it, i'm not a materialistic person, so i don't agree with the lengths she'd go to to feel secure in that sense. she still feels she owes her adoptive family some loyalty because they did give her a "better life" for better or for worse. i don't think she owes them shit. her willingness to turn a blindeye to some truly terrible shit in exchange for benefits she may be receiving from the situation. ( obviously there are things she can't look past, but there are certain situations she wouldn't feel compelled to do anything about. )

What’s their instinct in a fight / flight / freeze / fawn situation?

a mix of flight and fight. backed against a corner, she's gonna fight but if she can take flight and calculate a few things in her head first before fighting then she'll take that option, only because she wants some time to assess how to gain the upperhand.
