#he's blunt and cheerful and outgoing

[blood-orange-juice]

I really like this post and want to elaborate on one of the points.

Our dear Childe in his desire to protect childhood ability to dream in his younger brother is setting him up for a level of disappointment similar to one he himself experienced.

Which is the opposite of what he wants and exactly the thing that a lot of people do when they want to avoid something too badly (they behave exactly in the way that would attract it).

Léon Marchand x female reader and the use of oc.

A Léon Marchand fanfiction.

Warnings: swearing, DNI if under 18, 18+, PnV, Voyager!!, no mention of protection, lack of research of swimming, hints of dubscon. Defo not proof read enough.

It was a warm July Wednesday in Paris, and the city was buzzing with excitement as the Olympics were in full swing. Noelle, a brown-haired blue-eyed journalist known for her blunt and outgoing personality, had flown in specifically for the event. Her mission: to report on the swimming competition and interview the athletes for an Irish magazine .

As she took her seat in the Aquatic Center, her eyes immediately locked onto the French swimmer Léon, a three-time gold medalist. His blonde curly hair shimmered with droplets of water, and his chiseled body moved with grace and power as he glided through the pool. Noelle’s heart skipped a beat; she knew she had to meet this man.

After a dazzling performance, Léon emerged from the water, his muscular physique on full display. He waved to the cheering crowd, his blue eyes sparkling with joy. Noelle felt a tingle between her legs as she imagined those eyes looking at her with desire. She forced herself to focus on the race, knowing she would soon get her chance to meet Léon face-to-face.

Finally, the race concluded, and Léon emerged victorious once more. As he stood on the podium, his medals glinting in the spotlight, Noelle felt her pulse quicken. She made her way to the mixed zone, where athletes and journalists interacted post-event. Her heart raced as she anticipated the moment she would come face-to-face with Léon.

And then he was there, standing before her, his skin still glistening with beads of sweat and his breath slightly ragged from the exertion of the race. Léon was even more breathtaking up close, his body a masterpiece of athletic perfection. Noelle introduced herself, her voice steady despite the butterflies in her stomach.

"Léon, it's an honor to meet you, I'm Noelle . Congratulations on your win today. I'd love to ask you a few questions if you have a moment."

Léon's bashful smile took her breath away. "Bonjour, Noelle. The pleasure is mine. I would be delighted to answer your questions." His French accent sent a shiver down her spine, and she felt a twitch between her legs.

As they began the interview, Noelle struggled to maintain her professional demeanor. Léon's charm and good looks were distracting, and she found herself imagining what it would be like to run her hands over his sculpted body. She cleared her throat, forcing her mind back to the task at hand.

"So, Léon, tell me, how does it feel to be here in Paris, competing in your home country?"

Léon's eyes lit up as he replied, "It's a dream come true, truly magical. The support from the French crowd is incredible, and it pushes me to swim even faster."

Noelle bit her lip, her mind wandering to the night ahead and the possibility of a different kind of race—one that involved exploring each other's bodies. She shook her head slightly, determined to stay focused.

"I can only imagine," she said, her tone suggestive. "The pressure must be intense. How do you unwind after a stressful race?"

Léon's eyes darkened, and a hint of a smile played on his lips. "I like to take long, hot baths and just relax. Sometimes, I go for a run along the Seine to clear my head."

Noelle pictured Léon's strong legs pumping as he ran, his swimmer's body sleek and powerful. She fought the urge to reach out and touch his arm, her nipples hardening at the thought.

The mixed zone was beginning to clear out as the last of the journalists finished their interviews. Noelle knew this could be her only chance to make a more personal connection with Léon.

"Perhaps you'd like to show me your favorite running route?" she suggested, her voice low and inviting. "I could do with some fresh air, and it would be a pleasure to see the city through the eyes of a local."

Léon's bashful smile returned, and Noelle felt a surge of triumph. "I would love to. It's a date, then. Shall we say tonight at 8? We can run along the river and perhaps grab a drink after if you'd like."

Noelle’s heart pounded as she realized she was about to embark on a private adventure with the man of her dreams. "I wouldn't miss it for the world," she replied, her tone leaving no doubt as to her eagerness.

As they exchanged contact details, their fingers brushed, sending an electric current through Noelle’s body. Léon's eyes flicked to her lips, and she knew he was imagining kissing her as much as she was. The interview concluded, and they parted ways, both eager for the night ahead.

Later that evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in shades of pink and orange,Noelle made her way to the meeting point. Léon was already there, a vision in casual attire, his blonde curls shining in the golden hour light.

"You look beautiful," he said, his voice husky as he took in her form-fitting yoga pants and tank top.

Noelle felt a rush of desire as his intense gaze swept over her. "You don't look so bad yourself," she replied, a playful smile on her face.

They set off, running side by side along the Seine. Noelle matched her pace to Léon's, their arms occasionally brushing as they ran. The city lights twinkled in the darkness, providing a romantic backdrop to their energetic endeavor. As they ran, Léon pointed out landmarks and shared stories of his childhood in Paris. Noelle listened, enchanted, enjoying the private tour and the intimate insight into Léon's life.

As they reached a particularly picturesque spot, Léon slowed to a stop, and Noelle followed suit. They were alone on the riverbank, the city's hustle and bustle feeling miles away. Léon turned to face her, his eyes burning with desire.

"Noelle, I've been wanting to do this all night," he said, stepping closer and cupping her face in his hands.

Noelle’s heart hammered in her chest as she leaned into his touch, their lips meeting in a passionate kiss. Léon tasted of mint and desire, and Noelle felt herself melting into him. Their tongues danced, and Noelle ‘s hands roamed over his strong shoulders and back, savoring the feel of his powerful body.

Breaking the kiss, Léon nibbled along Noelle’s jawline, planting kisses down her neck. Noelle tilted her head back, moaning softly as he found a particularly sensitive spot. Léon's hands moved to the curve of her hips, pulling her against him so she could feel his hardening dick against her belly.

"I want you, Noelle ," he whispered, his voice hoarse with need. "Let's find a more comfortable place to continue this."

Noelle nodded, breathless, as Léon took her hand and led her through the darkness to a secluded spot he knew of—a quiet park bench hidden among the trees. He gently pushed her against the back of the bench, his lips crushing hers as he kicked off his shoes. Noelle felt his hands sliding under her top, caressing her soft skin, and moaned into his mouth as his thumbs grazed the underside of her full breasts.

With a swift motion, Léon lifted her top over her head, breaking away from the kiss to admire her naked breasts. He lowered his mouth to her nipples, taking one, then the other into his warm mouth, teasing them with his tongue until they peaked into hardness. She arched her back, encouraging him to take more, her hands threading through his curls.

As Léon continued his sensual assault on her breasts, his hand slipped between her thighs, finding the wet center of her desire. He rubbed her clit in slow circles, his fingers sliding easily through her slickness. Her gasps continue , her hips bucking as pleasure shot through her.

"You like that, chérie?" Léon murmured, his breath hot against her ear.

"Oui, Léon, don't stop," Noelle pleaded, her head falling back as she surrendered to the ecstasy washing over her.

Léon chuckled, the vibrations buzzing through Noelle sensitive nipple, which he was still sucking and nipping at. His fingers worked their magic, slipping inside her tight channel, thrusting slowly as he brought her closer to the edge. Noelle’s body trembled, and she cried out, her orgasm crashing over her in waves of bliss.

As her contractions slowed, Léon straightened, pressing his body against hers and capturing her mouth in a passionate kiss. Noelle could taste herself on his lips, and it sent another pulse of desire through her. She wanted him inside her, filling her completely.

"I need you, Léon," she whispered against his lips. "Please, fuck me."

Léon growled, the primal sound sending a shiver down Noelle’s spine. He lifted her, positioning her against the bench, her ass on the edge, her legs wrapped around his waist. With one smooth thrust, he slid inside her, filling her completely.

Noelle moaned, her head falling back as she enjoyed the sensation of being stretched and filled. Léon's hands gripped her hips, guiding her as he began to move, his strokes deep and purposeful. Their bodies moved in unison, the bench creaking in rhythm with their passion.

"You feel so good, Noelle ," Léon groaned, his eyes locked on hers, glittering with intense desire. "Your pussy was made for my cock."

Noelle’s walls clenched around him at his words, and she met his thrusts with her own, eager for more. "Fuck me harder, Léon," she demanded, her nails digging into his shoulders. "I want all of you."

Léon growled again, his pace quickening as he gave her what she craved. The bench rattled with the force of their passion, the slapping of their bodies filling the night air. Noelle cried out with each powerful thrust, her breasts bouncing, her head thrown back in abandon.

Léon's fingers dug into her hips as he pistoned into her, his balls slapping against her ass with each fierce thrust. Noelle felt her core tightening again, her second orgasm building as Léon's cock hit all the right spots.

"I'm close, Léon, so close," she panted, her legs tightening around him.

Léon grunted, his eyes rolling back as he teetered on the edge. With a few more powerful strokes, he sent Noelle over the brink. Her walls clamped down on him as she cried out, her body shaking with the force of her release. Léon followed, his breath catching as he spilled himself deep inside her, their juices mingling in a heated rush.

Spent, they rested, their chests heaving as they caught their breath. Léon gently extracted himself from her, his arms supporting her as they straightened. Noelle felt his cum leaking from her well-fucked pussy, a testament to their passionate encounter.

Léon pulled her into his arms, and she snuggled against him, her head on his chest. They remained like that for several moments, enjoying the afterglow of their intense coupling.

"I should probably get going," Noelle said reluctantly, knowing the night had to end eventually. "I have an early start tomorrow."

Léon nodded, his hands gently caressing her back. "I understand. But perhaps we could arrange another... meeting? There's so much more of Paris I'd love to show you."

Noelle smiled, kissing him softly. "I'd like that, Léon. Paris is even more magical than I imagined, and I think a large part of that is you."

They parted ways, their clandestine tryst a secret they would both treasure. As she made her way back to her hotel, she knew this trip to Paris would be unforgettable, and it wasn't just because of the Olympics. Léon had shown her a whole new side to the City of Love.

End.

Pspspspspsps do you have any HCs for IK babysitting the little guys

okay keep in mind i don't actually know what happened in that kid pop quiz, so this is the literal premise of "these got turned into little primary school boys".

how i imagine this happening: satan + solomon are brewing some dastardly potion and asmo + simeon come in to chat with/ask them about what's going on. lucifer walks in, gets highly suspicious and tries to intervene, solomon accidentally drops something into the cauldron, and then it's hiss, BANG, child

i'll put the boys at around 7 years old both physically and mentally - they retain their usual memories, but they're kind of vague and hand-wavey about what exactly they remember - so they recognise everyone they're meant to but don't know why in particular

the potion going BANG happens at the rad and prof baal is down the hall, so they (attracted by the sound of explosions, their one true love) quickly show up

when they open the door there are five little boys sitting around in various states of shock. solomon turns around and sees this crazy-looking adult in with big glowing goggles and spiky hair, and also has the distinct feeling he's done something wrong, and subsequently starts crying

this sets asmo off, which sets simeon off, which makes satan angry so now he's loudly scolding them for crying for no reason

lucifer just sits there silently, apparently trying to process everything in his now significantly smaller brain

prof baal can only do one thing. leave

and call diavolo

who calls ik because he can't get the boys to stop crying, and when asked for help barbatos just inadvertently made solomon cry more

eventually ik, reeling somewhat, gets them all calmed down and ascertains what happened

unfortunately the two main guys who would be able to figure out a reverse potion are little boys now. so diavolo takes the issue to wiz and ik continues to hang out with the kids

it's. fun?? it's also incredibly jarring

big news! wiz is going to need at least a weekend to analyse the remains of the potion and reverse engineer its effects! the kids are going to have to stay at the castle in the mean time!

so let's get to know them:

lucifer: very serious and earnest - tries to act mature and rein the others in, which is mostly ineffective. likes having his hand held but won't admit it. very particular about keeping himself neat and gets annoyed when he feels he's being talked down to. spends most of his time quietly following ik around.

satan: closer to 6yo and very energetic - runs around exploring things, crawls into whatever spaces he can fit into to. his lucifer-grudge manifests in one of those kiddie rivalries where he has to prove he's the COOLEST one. likes to be read to when he's calm, dislikes it heavily when lucifer is praised in front of him

simeon: just the sweetest little guy... very smiley and bright, seeks approval to an almost worrying degree, kind of clumsy. a little shy around the other boys but super outgoing with the grown-ups (and ik + luke), tries to help out even when he doesn't know what he's doing, and consequently breaks things

solomon: also very energetic, very loudly curious, asks a lot of questions but is moving too fast to actually hear the answers. one of those kids with grabby hands and very little sense of personal space. also keeps having magic accidents because he's not great at controlling his powers in this state

asmo: cheerful but also very blunt and honest with his words. cries quite easily but is also easily consoled; enjoys playing make-believe and dress-up, but very insistent that you do it HIS way. likes being carried around and gets a little crabby if he doesn't get attention for too long

the others are involved in looking after the boys as well but i'm just going to focus on ik for brevity's sake

ik has at least three of the kids surrounding her at all times

at any given moment, at least one of them wants to be carried. another one has something cool to give her. another one wants her to follow them and look at something. lucifer is probably still clinging to her hand the entire time.

the other boys play. lucifer reads a little bit, tries to tell them off, then spends the rest of his time walking around and looking for ik so that she will hold his hand. nevertheless he will look away when asked about this and insist it's nothing

solomon spends a not insignificant amount of time trying to cause as much trouble for barbatos as possible - he's clearly conspiring with some of the little ds as well - and forces ik to go on constant tours around the castle with him so that he can ask her questions at a billion miles per hour

he keeps pointing at things and accidentally making them explode or erupt into flames, or trying to conjure pretty lights and instead summoning bats

he walks into the kitchen with a massive rat in his hands and barbatos almost bodily hurls him out of the window

satan can sprint around the entire castle (including up and down the towers) before he exhausts himself, and he is the bane of lucifer's seven year old life because he will not stop BOTHERING him

satan can theoretically still read at his usual level but he 1. can't sit still long enough do so and 2. now lacks the neural power to comprehend super complex paragraphs, so when he tuckers himself out, he makes ik read him super morbid history books from the castle library

(lucifer is there too, sitting cross-legged and listening solemnly. when satan gets squeamish or spooked he looks at lucifer and reminds himself that he MUST get a better grade in scary stories than him)

(inevitably satan falls asleep and ik will let lucifer pick a book to switch to. when satan wakes up he is inevitably very mad about this)

asmo REFUSES to exert his little legs on the castle steps, so ik has to carry him, never mind the fact that she is also not very well equipped to be taking those stairs

ik plays house with him and pretends to be a little old grandpa, which delights asmo to no end

ik brushes out his hair and he insists on returning the favour, and then tangles a bunch of ornaments in her hair because he thinks it'll look pretty

sometimes he walks into things and cries even if it didn't hurt at all because he likes being fussed over

simeon's just happy to be here!

he tries to help the little ds with chores but mostly just undos their progress (and trips himself down the stairs in the process)

he likes being doted on but doesn't know how to express that, so instead he'll follow ik around, looking at her with these really big hopeful eyes

the boys like to play tag or hide-n-seek in the castle gardens, though the grounds are so extensive that they will inevitably get lost

lucifer has a knack for finding them - he'll silently slip off while ik and barbatos are wondering what to do, and come back with everyone in tow like a border collie herding sheep

when he's finally persuaded into joining their games, satan pushes him into a pond and then immediately tattles on himself because he feels bad

ik gets them to hold hands until they've made up (and barbatos takes a picture that both satan and lucifer will hunt him down for once they're back to normal)

they make fairy cakes together and asmo's decorations are 1. a flower, 2. himself, 3. a cat, 4. himself again, and 5. someone getting their head chopped off????

[ddracula0]

Choso who’s severely fucked up, not to the point of no return but enough for you to lose your mind every once in awhile. Thinking of him being similar to Rodrick? But like less nice. He does shit for attention, like he’s a huge attention whore. Thinking loud obnoxious semi popular Cho x Reader who cannot stand it. He’s cocky as hell.

I’m thinking he’d be on one of the sports teams and that’d contribute to it. Being around other people who feed his ego he’d need the occasional reality check. Im thinking the reader is a Daria type, very blunt borderline pessimistic, a misery chick. We love a good opposites attract- Reader who doesn’t particularly care either way for him until he makes her the butt of one of his dumb jokes. I’m thinking something over the top, he spills his lunch on her, he ‘accidentally’ ruins her homework, I dunno one of the classics. And she retaliates not by screaming or giving him a peace of her mind. No instead she flips a switch and becomes sickeningly sweet towards him, inflating his ego every chance she gets, weaving her way into his life. She’s at all of his games cheering the loudest, she’s bringing his favorite snacks to practice, she’s gushing to him about how amazing he is. And he’s an attention whore of course he’s eating it up. And then one day it stops. I’m thinking he comes up with a really sweet homecoming proposal and she’d laugh before giving him the most lethal read you can imagine. And that’s that. They go the rest of the year avoiding each other until Reader moves away.

Boom act two, they’re like in college and they have a group project together. Which reader is dreading because she kinda feels bad about what she did, and Choso is dreading because he feels equally bad. They get through their group project and kinda pick up where they left off, reader starts going to his games, and studies with him before tests. Cho gets a chance to actually get to know the reader and finds he likes her just as much as the fake version of her. Maybe he’ll ask her to homecoming again and she’ll say yes. I dunno.

Alternatively I like the idea of Cho and Reader being really close in middle school and then budding heads as they get older. They find new friends and interests, the reader goes from being super bubbly and outgoing to being more cold and critical. Cho goes from being reserved and feeling out of place to loud and adored. Might write that at some point

Found Family Tournament Round 1 Part 13 Group 61

Propaganda and further pictures under the cut

Nightchord25: Kanade Yoisaki, Mafuyu Asahina, Mizuki Akiyama & Ena Shinonome

Wayfarer's Crew: Rosemary, Ashby, Sissix, Jenks, Lovey, Corbin, Dr. Chef, Ohan

Submissions are still open!

Nightchord25:

Usually in Project Sekai, I don’t really have any people I ship as a polycule,..well except Nightchord25. And there’s good reason for that too because there bonds with each other is just so…mwah. But anyways, why are they found family you may ask? Well they’re 4 mentally ill teenagers so plenty hurt and comfort there. There’s Kanade Yoisaki a girl who’s mom died at a young age and father is in the hospital because of stress. Kanade blames herself for her father’s hospital trip and compensates for it developing a savior complex, becoming a hikikomori who creates music in an attempt to “save people.” Her lifestyle is quite unhealthy as she spends most of her time creating music neglecting food and sleep. Next, Mafuyu Asahina the lyricist and arranger who has a “good girl” facade but in reality is unhappy and empty as she lacks an identity due to her mother’s manipulative behavior causing her to be a people pleaser. She’s spent her whole life pleasing others that she’s forgotten her own self, that she wants to be when she grows up? Well her parents want her to become a doctor but she truly doesn’t know. Thirdly is Mizuki Akiyama, the video editor. Despite Mizuki’s cheerful and peppy demeanor which contrast the other characters, Mizuki is an incredibly lonely person and is ostracized at school. This is because Mizuki is heavily implied to be biologically male despite dressing in feminine clothes. There’s a lot of debate on Mizuki’s gender identity but one thing for sure is that because of Mizuki’s looks, the students around them think of Mizuki as weird and strange. Lastly but not least is Ena Shinonome, the artist, Ena’s a very blunt person with a bit of a tsundere personality. Despite her outgoing demeanor she is also surprise, surprise, depressed. Ena has a social media account to that’s quite popular but what really matters to her more is her art account which barely gets any followers. Ena is an aspiring artist, wanting to become professional. But she struggles with her lack of talent as well as her inferiority complex because of her dad brutally telling her that she can’t make it in the art world and that she has no talent for it. Which…while I get what he’s trying to say as he is also an artist,..that isn’t exactly the best thing for him to do.Now that I’ve introduced you the cast, what’s there relationship like? Kanade has a special bond with Mafuyu as when Kanade and the others discovered that Mafuyu’s happy mask was a hoax and in reality she’s lost all hope and is empty, Kanade vows to help her find her true self which at first by creating more songs. Mafuyu denies the help but eventually gives in. Throughout the story Kanade learns to understand Mafuyu more and aaahh we see Mafuyu start to crack a smile every once in a while because of Kanade’s music. Kanade has also helped Ena by giving her encouragement with her art as Kanade genuinely likes Ena’s art and Kanade is the only person who Ena never bickers with. Mizuki has also helped out Kanade alot with them pushing Kanade out of her shell and making her go to places more. Mizuki finds comfort in n25 as they’re Mizuki’s only friends which why it hurts them so much as they fear that they will leave Mizuki if they found out their secret. In this way, Mafuyu and Mizuki foil eachother with Mafuyu being her true self with Nightchord meanwhile Mizuki hides their secret from Nightchord cuz of their fear of possible backlash. Both of them out on a facade one way or another. Ena ended up sensing that Mizuki was hiding something and in the end tells Mizuki that she’ll be waiting as long as Mizuki wants to tell their secret one day which makes Mizuki feel even more guilty. Now Ena’s relationship with the Mafuyu. At first Ena doesn’t understand Mafuyu. She doesn’t understand why she’d wanna disappear when Mafuyu is so talented which is something that she wants. While they definitely didn’t get along in the beginning slowly but surely they started understanding n being friends<33. There’s probably more I missed but I’m sooo tired lmfao

Wayfarer's Crew:

Sorry, I got no propaganda for them yet :(

[gravitysoda]

I feel like something a lot of people gloss over with Aerith is that she's actually not as socially or emotionally well adjusted as you'd immediately assume. Aerith is very outgoing and headstrong, and I think this gets mistaken as someone who always understands the intricacies of human interaction and who is good at dealing with their own emotions. But like, Aerith was raised as an experiment in a lab from birth, she was someone who had no friends as a kid and was socially outcast, and whose only companions were her mothers or Shinra employees who viewed her as an experiment at worst and property at best. She's not exactly well socialized. When she gets put next to Cloud, who is so obviously socially awkward, and Tifa, who has a fair amount of anxiety, it's easy to miss that Aerith is also just sort of trying her best. And a lot of the time it works! She can talk to people and people generally like her. But sometimes she can be too pushy, sometimes she can overstep boundaries, or she might not understand exactly how to deal with someone else's emotions when she can't even fully cope with her own. Even so, she does generally make an effort to respect the feelings of others and to check in with them often. She's not just being pushy for the sake of it, but rather making a concerted effort to either make people feel included or to comfort them in a way she understands. Aerith also has a tendency to cope with her own feelings of loneliness and sadness by bottling them up and covering them up under a veneer of cheerfulness. Her happy-go-lucky attitude isn't entirely genuine - a fair amount of it is her coping with grief and trying to connect with more people to assuage the loneliness she has and the lack of acceptance she had throughout her life. This peeks through sometimes when she lets her feelings slip, and she talks a little about how giving up is what she does best, or how she wishes she could hurt Hojo like he hurt her and her mom, and then feels terrible for it.

Sometimes this coping mechanism gets projected on others, or prevents her from being entirely honest. It's not out of ill intent - it's just genuinely how she rationalizes and deals with negativity. She's doing her best with the tools she has, even if they're sometimes inadequate. Anyway, I think this aspect of her characterization is a bit overlooked, and sometimes I think people ascribe her a level of flippancy or even unkindness due to the assumption that Aerith is emotionally and socially adept, when in some ways she's actually just...not? This isn't to say she's some flawless person who's never just overly blunt or who never has selfish motive, but rather that she is flawed and does struggle, but still does her best generally and tends to have good intentions at heart.

About.

[ Car accident tw, death tw, pregnancy tw ]

Born and raised in France, Rowan is the youngest of the late Silas Burke and Jisoo Choi. Although their marriage did not work out, Rowan's childhood was happy and, to some, very cushy. She was deeply loved and cherished by her father and had a great bond with her older brother. Her mother, a former model, was more like a random visitor, but Rowan liked the adventures they went on every once in a blue moon.

Oscar was one of her constants. Rowan has very few childhood memories without him. He was always close and in the background of her childhood a love story unfolded. He was her father's best friend, then a pseudo-uncle, and later her stepfather in every sense of the word except legally.

Rowan, with the support of her fathers, made the decision to attend university in the states. She traded France for California and spent the next four years of her life traveling up the California coast between final exams and term papers.

Her graduation came almost too soon. Rowan walked across the stage to the cheers of the most important people in her life: her dads and her brother.

The plan after graduation was to return to France for one last, perfect summer. For the first couple of days it was exactly that: perfect. The weather was beautiful, the wine was decadent, and there were no responsibilities.

The car accident ended the perfect summer with a funeral and a stepfather who was just a shell of the person she always knew. Suddenly, Rowan no longer recognized Oscar and maybe, in a way, Oscar no longer recognized his children in his grief.

Life, unfortunately, goes on. Rowan returned to the states for work during the winter. She struggled to find enjoyment in the hazy mists of Seattle, but her job was a distraction. Maybe, she was too distracted to realize how much Oscar was struggling -- maybe, that's why she can't fully bring herself to hate him for what he did next.

Oscar's letter was a shock. Oscar was going to return to the states; at first, it seemed like an opportunity to draw closer together, but instead they just drifted further and further away.

A few months turned to a year, then two, then four, and now six. A lot has happened in those six years, things that Rowan has only shared with Oscar in bits and pieces -- like her pregnancy.

Her child's father had been a bit of a distraction. Some light slicing through the gray, but Rowan couldn't bare the idea of telling someone casual that she was pregnant only for him to leave, too.

So, Rowan didn't tell him. She told her brother and, by letter, she told Oscar. In her third trimester Rowan began to think more about Oscar. Her father was gone, her mother was never more than a fleeting visitor, but why would she deny her baby Oscar? Why wouldn't she at least try to mend what slowly broke?

It took some convincing (tears) to get her older brother to agree to the move to Hemlock Springs; the town on all of Oscar's letters. In the end, Quinton made the move with her. That was six months ago, and it's been three since her daughter, Poppy, was born; she hopes three more months will not pass until she works up the courage to let the only father she has, the only grandfather Poppy has, back into their lives.

Lilia adores your personality. He wasn’t always a cheerful fae like he is now, so he tries to live life to the fullest by not dwelling too much on the negatives and to be carefree. When he meets you, he likes how bright you are—like a bright star in the night sky. 

Talkative and friendly too? A wonderful combination! Lilia is always aching to get along with today’s youth. Even though he’s many connections in Diasomnia and in his many video games, he has yet to find someone who is as outgoing as you. Poor him, the children at Diasomnia are simply too shy and reclusive compared to his outgoing nature. It’s a good thing he met you!

Oh my, forgetful as well? You remind him of his charge, Malleus. Although, he must say, you aren’t as quiet or as brooding as he is. Perhaps you and Malleus should meet and get along with each other! Lilia always wants the best for his loved ones and sometimes, the best thing he can do is through bonding! Sharing experiences, broadening horizons, and moving past one’s comfort zones will inevitably help you grow as a person!

For as vague and obtuse Lilia may be, he finds that your blunt and straightforward nature amusing. Really, you remind him of his cute little Silver and Sebek! He’ll often tease you if he thinks that you’re being too serious, but if something is truly weighing you down, he’ll wisen up and take your issues seriously.

Addiction to phones is an unfortunate symptom of today’s newest generation, but Lilia knows a solution. Come with him to Diasomnia dorm and he can train you in the art of hand to hand combat! Or sword fighting! You won’t be a phone addict for much longer—if you’re too tired to play with your phone. 

Play video games and watch anime with Lilia. If the both of you are lucky, maybe you can even invite Gloomurai onto these online sessions. For some odd reason, Lilia delights in teasing the player, but he‘ll assure you it’s all in good fun. During these sessions, Lilia will talk about how certain scenes in the anime make him feel old or how it relates to his youth. Or maybe he’ll wait until you’re fully engrossed in the series before he sneaks up behind you and startles you when you least expect it. Regardless, you’ll always have fun with Lilia. 

Gyaru fashion? What is that? After you inform Lilia of what gyaru is, Lilia is keen on checking out the clothing and trends of that trend. He loves broadening his horizons and collecting bits and pieces here and there connecting to different fads. If he’s really into it, you find that he’s dying his hair into various shades of hot pink and beach blonde. Plus, it would also be great to take you out shopping so the both of you can get clothes to fashion yourselves based on this unique aesthetic.

Your taste in music is certainly unique! He’ll listen to some of your favorite songs and who knows? Maybe he’ll make covers based off them and entertain you the next time you visit Diasomnia. 

Overall, your friendship with Lilia is certainly one that bounces between your shared eccentricities and his need to reconnect with the youth. With you, he feels young and invigorated, as if he refound his purpose in life.

TWISTED WONDERLAND MASTERLIST

[survivalscost]

(pedro pascal. cis man. he/him.) ⸺ 🐏 greetings, bighorns ! walking around campus, sporting his cynical frown we’ve spotted SANTIAGO SILVA, a forty-eight years old who contributes to our thriving community as a GUARD. according to our intel, he's been around the sanctuary for five years and what we know about him, aside from the fact that he does agree with the decision of closing the gates, is that he can often be found walking around at night due to troubles sleeping, would rather occupy his time on his own rather than with others, greatly enjoys learning new things and will attend different lectures from time to time. doesn’t that make him fantastic ? we think it does, and that’s why we appreciate him so much, grateful for what he gives to our community.

basics !

name: santiago silva

nickname: santi (only close connections can get away with calling him that)

age: 48

gender: cis man

orientation: homosexual & homoromantic

hometown: columbus, indiana

occupation: guard

positive traits: practical, loyal, independent, reliable

negative traits: stubborn, pessimistic, blunt, untrusting

backstory ! (death tw & grief tw)

it was never any huge secret that santiago's birth had been unplanned, the child to a quickly wed young couple with religious families. the detail wouldn't have mattered if it hadn't resulted in the family feeling more like three strangers with little else than resentment towards each other. there was nothing extraordinarily remarkable about his childhood or how he was raised. if anything, it served as an early lesson that he could get by without much and could take care of himself.

now an adult, he intended to live his life just the same, mostly keeping to himself and doing his own thing, which he was able to keep up until he met isaiah. on paper they were an odd pairing with santiago being more aloof and pessimistic and isaiah being more outgoing and cheerful, but there was something about them together that just seemed to work and even bring out the best in each other. after a few years of close friendship, their relationship blossomed into something more before resulting in a happy marriage between the two.

it's hard not to wish that things would've carried on the way they were forever, but life had other plans. the outbreak happened and the whole world felt like it was flipped on its head. not everything completely changed though. isaiah was still isaiah which meant the pair was now accompanied by several others now, forming a sort of ragtag group that was just trying their best to survive now. their best wasn't always good enough though. sure, the group would grow in size from time to time as others in need of a hand joined, but it also went down in numbers whenever people would split off to look for their loved ones in a nearby city or would meet an unfortunate fate. life wasn't easy, but it wasn't until one night that it felt especially cruel.

about a year and a half following the outbreak, the conversation around the fire that night had landing on the topic of the infected and whether or not the person they once were remained somewhere inside for any amount of time. something about the topic seemed to upset isaiah who had already been acting strange that night, so santiago followed him when he got up to figure out what was wrong. it was then revealed that the other had been bitten earlier. what followed was a painful back and forth about what needed to be done and following through on that. naturally the commotion caught the attention of the rest of the group and upon learning what happened, they helped santiago bury isaiah.

he tried his best to stick with the group after that, but it was too much. the well-meaning looks of pity only hurt, so he set off on his own despite the pleas not to. it was a tiring life, but the worry of losing someone else was no longer present and he was convinced he was fine with keeping things that way. little did he know that things would change.

about another year and half passed when he crossed paths with them. the two strangers helped each other out in a rough spot and while santiago was fine with leaving things there, one good deed in a shitty world type of deal, it turned out the two were coincidentally headed to the same place. they both could have headed out on their own separate trips there, but ultimately agreed to travel together and loosely watch each other's backs, something santiago largely agreed to only because it sounded like something isaiah would have done.

upon reaching their destination, neither one found what they were looking for. unsure of what to do next, the duo ended up sticking together. if nothing else, another person made surviving a little easier. as more time went on though things slowly changed. they weren't just two strangers traveling together because they provided a better chance at survival, but because they had grown to care about each other and to see each other as family. naturally it caused the worry and fear of losing someone he cared about to came back.

that fear made the university seem perfect. there was a drastically lower chance that they would meet some awful fate there, so there was no argument about making it home. of course all serious incidents with nick harvey have called into question how safe things are here now, but it still remains safer than most places so he has no intentions of leaving, nor would he ever leave without them.

personality / headcanons !

he definitely does not voice it, but where he stands on closing the gates is actually the cause of a pretty painful internal conflict. he certainly leans more towards agreeing that they should remain closed for safety reasons — the whole reason he stays here is because it's safe. but oh boy, does he know it's something isaiah would be against because it means potentially turning away people who need help and he'd be lying if he said that doesn't eat at him.

but that's sort of an issue in general. sometimes things done for the sake of survival (his own or someone else's) didn't line up with the memory he wanted to honor and it's very much "whelp, it had to be done but i feel really really shitty about it!!"

even after five years here, he still makes it a chore to get to know him and is very slow to get close to others. his mindset is sort of like sure, they're safe and sound here but who knows, something awful could happen to the next person he gets close to :/

could probably count the number of times he's been relaxed in the last year on a single hand.

while he's usually very serious, he's not completely humorless. his humor is more on the sarcastic and dry side though so it's not always the easiest to tell when he's not being serious.

he still has his wedding ring, he just hasn't worn it since arriving on campus. it's just one of those things where it's easier to avoid the topic entirely than to even briefly get into it.

wanted connections !

found family: connection details can be found here. i'm begging pls

fellow guards: the dynamics will probably vary depending on y/m's personality, but i'm excited to explore those since i assume they're all somewhat familiar with each other!

some sort of friendship dynamic based off this: would probably have to be someone who has been around for a few years, but i think he would greatly benefit from a friend that kind of drags him out more, even if he's complaining the whole time.

misery loves company: not necessarily someone santiago would consider a friend, but there's some sort of mutual understanding that they can vent and confide in each other only to never bring up what they spoke about again.

former group members: people he was in that first group with before he took off on his own. while he would be relieved to see they made it somewhere safe, he'd be fairly avoidant of them due to the unpleasant memories their presence brings back.

slowburn romance: i could see it starting off as someone santiago just happens to be around enough times that a friendship started to slowly form and then from there romantic feelings started to develop as well. there might be some angst after the "oh shit, i have feelings for this person" moment, but i think it could develop into something really sweet.

anything else! i'm super flexible with plots so if you have any other ideas that you think would work for our muses lmk!

[cornyregans]

Hi, I'm not sure if you have time to answer this question, but what kind of Sim would Viola Monty be like regarding personality, aspiration and her relationship with her family and the Capps? How many years older than Mercutio would she be?

Hi! I'm not too busy right now, so I'd be glad to answer this.

I also added a read more for you because this got long.

Honestly, I don't really have many headcanons regarding Viola because she was deleted before the game's release. Really, the only thing I can really do is draw from is the original Shakespeare play for theories.

In terms of her personality, I think she would have been outgoing, as Shakespeare's Viola wasn't afraid of expressing her opinions. I think she'd be somewhere in the middle of the nice spectrum, since the only time Shakespeare's Viola compliments Olivia is when she's either relaying Orsino's messages, or when she's trying to cheer her up. Given that Shakespeare's Viola worked as a page in Twelfth Night, I'd also hazard a guess that Viola Monty was more on the active side as well. When it comes to her playfulness, I think she would have been more on the serious side, if only because of how Shakespeare's Viola took her duties to the Duke seriously. Not sure about her neatness levels though, you'll have to get back to me on that.

In terms of aspiration, I think she would have probably been a family sim, given the relationship Viola had with her brother in Twelfth Night. It's possible she could have been a romance sim though, since Twelfth Night's Viola created a love triangle between herself, Orsino, and Olivia.

I feel like her relationship with Olivia would have been slightly complicated since, while Olivia thought fondly of Viola in Twelfth Night, Viola didn't start off liking Olivia very much because she had a thing for Orsino. In this case, it wouldn't have been because of both Olivia and Viola being involved in a love triangle, since the Monty versions of them would have been mother and daughter. Instead, I think it could have been a result of differing opinions regarding the feud. As for her brothers, I think her relationship with them might have been cordial, but slightly distant. I feel like she and Claudio would have butted heads, what with Dio's two nice points and Viola's bluntness probably not being a great mix.

Given that Shakespeare's Viola was tasked by Orsino to pass messages back and forth between him and Olivia, it could have been a case where Viola Monty ingratiated herself with the Capps on behalf of someone else. If I had to hazard a guess, I'd assume Puck because he's a shy boy. Also, Puck being the one she passes messages to doesn't create a weird thing where Viola has a thing for one of her brothers. As for Tybalt, I'd assume he wouldn't want anything to do with Viola, so I doubt ask her to pass around his love notes.

Given what happened in Twelfth Night, odds are Viola Monty could have charmed one of the female Capp teens. Of the three candidates, I'd assume she would have inspired feelings in Hermia for a few reasons. First, Hermia's the one that Puck Summerdream is canonically interested in. Second, like Olivia in Twelfth Night, Hermia has recently lost close family members, and both her personality and memories imply that she might have closed herself off emotionally. Finally, Hermia's the only premade female teen in Veronaville who has a neutral attraction towards female sims, so Viola Monty's existence might have explained her preferences a bit better and not caused me to scratch my head a few years back when I learned of it.

As for the Mercutio thing, they could have been twins, since Shakespeare's Viola was a twin herself (when looking at it from that perspective, it's possible she could have been Romeo's twin prior to deletion instead). At the same time, there could have also been a Sebastian Monty who was deleted along with her. Given that I'm not sure regarding the birth order between the twins in Twelfth Night, I can't say for sure if she might have been older or younger than Mercutio and Romeo, but I think she would have been either the oldest or youngest of the three.

I do have some headcanons inspired by her though, specifically that Viola is one of Olivia Monty's favorite names, and one she would have used if she had a daughter. I also headcanon that she gave Hero permission to use for Beatrice back in the day, but Mercutio and Romeo's desire for a cousin "Ben" derailed that (neither Antonio nor Hero thought that "Benedick and Viola" went well together as names for twins). Instead, Antonio and Hero opted to use Viola and Sebastian as the twin's middle names.

Another headcanon inspired by Shakespeare's Viola relates to Olivia Monty's romantic and sexual orientations. Basically, I headcanon Olivia as either bi or pan, with her sapphic awakening occurring when she started having feelings for Bianca back in school (to the point that, years later, she still referred to Bianca as her "first love"). That said, she never acted on them because she didn't want to ruin their friendship, and much like her Twelfth Night counterpart, Olivia Monty eventually married her object of affection's brother.

Alderney, Agatha, Allen & Anson [NWR AU]

History Alderney, Agatha, Allen and Anson (#14, #15, #16 and #17) are Railway Operating Division 2-8-0s built in 1917 for service on the western front. They were erected at the same time at the Great Central Railway’s Gordon works before being shipped out to France as a quartet. Upon their return to England, they were allocated to Sheffield Darnall shed for a brief period before going on loan to the North Western Railway in 1920 and being stabled at Tidmouth, used for heavy freight service between Sodor and the north of England. Their working lives were rather uneventful from the 1920s through to the start of the Second World War, keeping to themselves and doing what was asked. During the Second World War however, the four began to forge their own identities for the first time. Upon nationalisation, Alderney and Anson were reallocated to Vicarstown MPD where they worked express freights from Vicarstown to Manchester. In 1957, British Railways decided to withdraw the veteran quartet from service. However, Sir Charles Topham Hatt II, having witnessed first-hand the work ethic of the four consolidations over the years, forked out the money to purchase them from BR and had them re-painted into North Western lined good black before once again re-allocating Alderney and Anson back to Tidmouth.

Personality(s)

Alderney is a quiet, aloof and often distant engine, not breathing a word unless spoken to. She doesn’t particularly get along with anyone other than her siblings, shying away from conversations with those she doesn’t know. According to her crew however, she has a soft side, apparently being very fond of dogs, birds and classical literature.

Agatha is quite the opposite to her sister. She’s outgoing, friendly and extroverted, often starting very loud, very light-hearted conversations with anyone within earshot, much to the annoyance of her introverted sibling. Agatha is very bubbly, optimistic and cheerful, always finding light in the darkest of situations.

Allen is gruff, brash and blunt. As a certain engine once said, Allen is a plain-speaking engine who believes in plain speaking. He’s a stone-faced, crude engine who is often the voice of reason, though can be rather rude and vulgar about it. Many an argument in Tidmouth sheds have come from a slip of Allen’s tongue, and many more likely will.

Anson is an uptight, hard-nosed engine who fancies himself among the likes of the Duke of Wellington and General Joffre in the annals of history despite him having never held a leadership position. He speaks in a very proper, upper-class accent and has a perfectly-trimmed moustache, of which he is very proud. Unlike his other three siblings, he boasts about his war service. He drones on and on, much to the irritation of his stablemates.

Well, that’s the end of this little character profile on Sodor’s ROD 2-8-0s, hopefully I’ll see you again soon for another one.

[justsomeoneintoomanyfandoms]

Hi ! I’m here for a Bungo Stray Dogs, Honkai Star Rail and Genshin Impact romantic matchup with a male character

Sexuality : Straight

In my free time I enjoy reading, playing video games, listening to music, doing crochet, drawing, learning new languages, dancing and swimming.

Apparence : Long wavy/almost curly light brown hair and almond shaped brown eyes and a button nose. I’m pretty tanned. 5’4,so I’m kinda short and normal weight though on the curvy side(I have a pear shaped body).

So about my personality: my mbti is intj, enneagram 5w6 I’m mostly withdrawn, individualistic, introverted and very honest even blunt at times. I need a lot of alone time.When im with people i’m close with, I tend to be more cheerful and energetic, im also quite sarcastic. One of the thing that stands out the most about me is that I’m extremely determined, ambitious and eager to learn new things. However, I do have some very specific subjects/ hobbies I tend to get hyper focused on.I’m also very observant and attentive which makes me a good listener, especially for my friends who I value very much and try my best to be considerate with( for example by avoiding being too blunt).

Extra info : i am very family oriented, I love them so so much. My love language is acts of service and words of affirmation. I’m the oldest sibling.

Hi Anon! Thank you for your request! Sorry it took so long. I hope you like your matchups!

In Bungo Stray Dogs, I match you with...

Atsushi has a wonderful ability to draw you out of your shell. He’s a naturally reserved person himself so you’re able to feel comfortable around him.

He appreciates that you’re a good listener. It’s a nice change from the other people at the Armed Detective Agency who have a tendency to either not listen or listen and immediately forget everything.

Please shower this boy in words of affirmation. He didn’t have a lot of affection growing up so any affection and praise you show him now means a lot.

Also please teach him how to crochet. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Atsushi would love crocheting and knitting. He finds it relaxing and he’d love making things for you.

He’d also love being able to sit with you while you’re each working on your own crocheting projects. He likes the comforting atmosphere and being able to spend quality time with you.

In Honkai Star Rail, I match you with...

Caelus is your video game buddy forever. He’s great at providing support in multiplayer and single player games alike. Doesn’t mind taking the backseat if you’re hooked on a simple player game but he also loves being able to play alongside you.

Loves listening to music and dancing with you. He’s a naturally goofy dancer but if you feel like bringing down the energy and slow dancing, he can manage that as well.

He appreciates your observant and attentive nature as well as the value you place on friends. Trust is a big thing for him since he doesn’t remember anything before Kafka so he’s grateful he can trust you.

Respects your need for alone time. He doesn’t feel the need to be around you all the time so he doesn’t mind giving you personal space when you need it.

Caelus loves being one of the few people you feel comfortable enough around that you can be more outgoing. It shows him that you trust him and care about him and he tries his best to reciprocate those feelings in a way that you can recognise.

In Genshin Impact, I match you with...

Tighnari finds your more reserved nature a nice breath of fresh air. Between Collei, the Academia, and the other forest watchers, he’s surrounded by outgoing people. He needs a break sometimes.

Much like you, Tighnari needs personal space. He’s grateful your relationship is strong enough to handle not being around each other all the time.

Appreciates any acts of service you can do for him. He’s very busy so even if it’s as simple as you bringing dinner to him or making his bed in the morning, it shows him that you care about him.

Would love to learn languages with you. He finds them a useful skill to have, especially since a lot of flora and fauna have their names based in other languages. It helps him with his work and means you can spend time together.

Please crochet things for him. He would love a scarf and some gloves for his patrols during cold weather. They keep him warm and remind him of you when he’s not with you, warming both his body and his heart.

[loving-and-dreaming]

Hi could I get a romantic ship with any guy from harry potter or obx please. I am pretty ambitious and I'm also rlly outgoing and hang out with friends alot. I like sports like cheer dance and tennis. I like reading, shopping, baking, and making jewelery. I'm also hella spontaneous and I love to just be in the moment. Sometimes I don't think things through. I can come across as blunt sometimes or seem uncaring but its just bc sometimes I don't know how I'm supposed to react to things. I'm kinda short, with black hair and highlights and curtain bangs, with brown eyes and lightly tanned skin if appearance matters. Thank if u do this would be rlly appreciated

Harry Potter: James Potter(i didnt know which era you wanted so I went with the marauders). Both of you are sporty and love living in the moment 💕 I feel like you both would be the crazy couple and everyone wishes they could be but let’s face it they are not. He would also love the face that you are short, because this boy is tall.

OBX: JJ forsure! He would go and support you in all of your sport stuff! He would be your number one fan. He also does not like reading, but I totally see him wanting you to read aloud to him just so he can listen to your voice(I promise you he would fall asleep). I feel like y’all would start with the grand idea to bake together but um yeah that doesn’t work out. That boy had No patience so really you would end up doing all the work while he just watches you or does other things around the house.

TIMELINE // PLOTS

— BASICS

Name: "Oz" aka, Levi Ozymandias Saffet. Age / D.O.B.: 42, August 28th, 1982 Gender, Pronouns, Sexuality: Demi-Man, Any pronouns, queer  Hometown: Rockport, Massachusetts Affiliation: Syndicate Job position: Ex-Hitman, Manager of Athenaeum Education: Graduate degree in bio-chemistry Relationship status: Single Children: None Positive traits: Resourceful, Quick-Witted, Intelligent, Humble Negative traits: Apathetic, Blunt, Violent, Stubborn

— BIOGRAPHY

TW // Drugs, Violence, Murder, Injury

Oz came into the world silent as the grave - so quiet that his parents thought something was wrong with him. A middle child of five, Oz was the odd one out - he was just a little different. His siblings were loud and outgoing, and Oz was a quieter instigator. He liked a fun time, but was always the one to take it a little too far. A play-fight turned into a bloody nose, or a prank turned into a broken leg. He was fascinated by the way humor often relied on pain, and while he didn't always understand the joke, he was always ready to help with the punchline.

His parents just thought he was socially awkward and didn't 'get it'. But Oz did- he was incredibly intelligent, quick as a whip. Perhaps he didn't prefer to start the conversation - but he knew how to end it. He seemed to just prefer a little bit of anarchy- but his smarts were never in question. He studied multiple sciences at an Advanced level in high school and majoring in bio-chem in college, going on to get his graduate degree as well. Through it all, he had supportive parents, siblings who cheered him on and went about their lives, and an occasional distant friend or roommate.

And yet, Oz found himself craving something more adventurous. It started with little ways he could get a thrill. Drugs helped, of course. So did setting off fireworks, or shoplifting. He looked so upright, so perfectly unassuming. The quiet little man never seemed like a threat, which was perfect for stealing goods, getting into trouble. While working at a national lab in New York, he found himself pocketing important chemicals and extra medication - skimming materials off the top when he could. Machines break all the time after all, and the labs always had so much money to replace just about anything... not even knowing what he was doing with all these items, he found himself delving into the black market.

Eventually he wound up finding the Syndicate through his research on the dark web. He sold a few specialized chemicals and medical equipment to a very interested buyer- and soon enough Oz was in his early 30s and working directly within organized crime. The selling couldn't go on forever without someone finding out at BROOKLABS, so instead he joined their ranks. His steady hands were perfect for a gun, and after years dissecting animals, staring at bones and tendons and joints and nerves during his extensive schooling, Oz was unfazed about the idea of seeing a dead body. In fact, he was intrigued- and eager to prove his worth.

Oz was clean, quick, and silent. The man got in and got out so fast that he was a shadow behind his victims. It was easy and lucrative work for him - and the rush was incredible. He was a respected hitman for the Syndicate for more than 5 years. And as time wore on, he stayed in his prime. Except for one job.

He forgot to check the backyard. He'd done it a million times, and this was the one day he'd forgotten. Oz had the victim dealt with in a second - but the victim's colleague was unexpectedly there, packing up for their trip to the putting green. No one else was supposed to be there.

Oz was nearly killed - taken by surprise and wrestling with an angry man with a golf club. Oz's small stature was, for once, used against him, his gun wrestled from him at one point. Shot, beaten, but somehow Oz got his gun back and shot the other man dead. Called a colleague in desperation. He couldn't feel... anything. For one of the first times in his life, he was scared.

Suffering a lumbar spinal cord injury, Oz was stuck in the hospital for months. He had lost the use of his legs at first, and required intense rehabilitation to even walk with forearm crutches or push himself in a wheelchair. But more importantly to Oz, he didn't feel that he could continue his old job. His hands unsteady and his body having gone through a traumatic event, he retired from his hitman position. Beginning to spiral from all of this, he was luckily pulled into managing the Athenaeum by Audra, who needed someone to keep the bookstore safe and secure. Oz immersed himself in this new role, finding a home in the bookkeeping and inventory lists. Now he works there as Audra's friend and work partner, managing and occasionally taking on smaller jobs for the Syndicate that can be done through the Athenaeum's front.

— WANTED CONNECTIONS / PLOTS

Athenaeum Goers: Those who visit often. Checking out books, interested in the weird and less popular titles they often carry. Oz is there often as he organizes and works. He might not talk to you often, but he notices you're there.

Syndicate Colleagues: Maybe they've worked together on hits. Maybe they started around the same time. Maybe they visited him in the hospital - or maybe they stopped talking to him after his botched job. Oz was a force to be reckoned with, until he wasn't. Maybe they pity him, or maybe they want him back doing something better.

Syndicate Savior: This is the Syndicate member who he called to get him from the house after he was left for dead. Someone he trusts who could clean up a pretty big mess and get him safely out. This person saved his life. Oz could be incredibly close to them because of this, or feel weird and guilty about it and never talk about it. Plenty of dynamics to explore!

Drinking Acquaintances: Oz probably shouldn't drink as much as he does, but he's definitely got a usual bar he ends up in. Someone he's gotten drunk enough to talk to might loosen him up some.

Ex-Lovers, Current Lovers, Whatever: While Oz has his wants and needs, he isn't exactly the type to make people feel warm and fuzzy - but when he's interested, he makes it pretty clear. He's had his share of forays in the past and awkward exes, situationships, and hookups. Said situation has certainly changed, but Oz is navigating it & figuring it out. Slowly.
