Bracket H Round 1

Poll 3

NERF (@nen-kaii) vs. Bruce the Just (@bruce-stan)

453. NERF (@nen-kaii)

he/him or ne/ner/neir

He has a zipper that exposes his skull because he thought it was silly, he drinks led water, ne blows stuff up with neir rocket launcher for funsies, and ne makes cookies for neir friends. He's so silly it borders on stupid. Gonna squisch him. Squinch.

4'11" little guy, with a shaved head that's split open by a zipper to expose his skull. Sometimes wears a mint-colored helmet with googly eyes pasted on.

454. Bruce the Just (@bruce-stan)

He/Him

     Bruce is a were-shark Barbarian from a pathfinder campaign im in. he is my precious baby boi and the sole reason I'm on tumblr is to shill for him in this bracket. He was abandoned as a child due to his family thinking him a monster and fending for himself till one day while trying to rob a family for food, he goes too far and kills the dad. Stricken with the weight of his actions he seeks to save as many people as possible to make up for his terrible deed.

     He is the definition of a himbo. The kindest of beans and loves nature especially the water. He is allo-aro as he loves everyone as his ever growing number friends but just can't hold romance in his heart, but still is distracted by boobs; can your really blame him boobs bouncy. He is autistic coded and has PTSD from his past actions, hating loud sounds as they remind him of the child and mothers wails of grief at what he did. He is self sacrificing to a fault and will no hesitate to throw himself into any danger for any reason.

     This is reflected in his weapon "Penance". which he spells (penents). A metal shark tooth macuahuitl with one half cold iron and the other half adamantine. It is enchanted to deal extra dmg at the cost of backlash upon himself, which has been the cause of his many scars across his body. Bruce doesn't care however as his weapon is just as much penance for himself as for his enemies.

     He serves as both the heart and big guy for our groups five man band. While he is obviously the dumb muscle, he is the emotional core of our group that makes a cold-hearted assassin, a conniving theif, a vengeance possesed psychopath, a shadowfell raised Dryder, and an apathetic druid, all want to be better people because of his unrelenting love and kindness.

    He hates killing and will even in battle go out of his way to avoid it and violence in general as much as possible. Their is but a single exception to this rule and that is to put any of his new found family in danger. That makes a woman by the name of Valentina a dead girl walking, as she callously murdered his dear friend Ms. S. An ex school teacher who would hand out gold stars to the party. He still has the stars on his macuahuitl as a reminder of his late friend and debt to settle.

     His caring nature has gotten the party into many adventures as he is always willing to help anyone. From hauling wood, to hunting fish for a starving child, to collecting cat skeletons for a friendly necromancer, to even facing down a 40ft tall face stealing monstrosity, all one must do is ask.

     Now a list of my favorite Bruce quotes:

" I got my info from a trustworthy source....... ya know a crab from that creek over there".

"NO STEALING! I will buy you the shiny".

"I would never kill him, just break a few ribs".

"I've fought plenty of trees and I only lost twice".

"You can be gay just don't do crimes........ok maybe a little crime since he's was mean".

"BRUCE IS INDOMITABLE" ( after holding back a bullete from his unconscious friends.)

"violence doesn't just break a man's nose, it breaks his spirit.............I've seen how terrible that truly is."

     I could go on for days about my precious lad, so if anyone wants to hear more hmu. That being said though reckless, naive, and certainly buried in his own sins; his unyielding sense of kindness and do-goodery make no one more fitting of the name Bruce The Just.

Taylor Lautner from twilight as to add to the shark meme since he also played sharkboy.

about me

hi and welcome to my blog! i feel like i have to put on a brave face just to introduce myself, but here goes :')

my name is Erin. you can also call me Rin or E. i used to go by Eerie for many years, you can call me that if u want too because i still think it sounds super cute :) ps. if u knew me when i was called Eerie and we were cool then hmu. i kinda removed myself from everywhere and i feel embarrassed about it looking back lol

i'm from the beautiful land of Ireland, if u want more specifics then u will have to dm me. fun fact: my name also means Ireland, so if u wanna explore Ireland lmk ;)

i'm 22 years old and still a teenager. and in case i forget to update this in the future, i was born in November 2001. my sun/moon/rising signs are Scorpio/Taurus/Libra.

i'm bisexual. and that includes trans and enby peeps. i just think pansexual sounds silly (no offense). i can't tell if tumblr makes me think i'm gayer than i am or if i actually really gay, but i do indeed love women even tho i have no experience irl.

as for my personality... i'm full of love but have nobody to give it too. i think i'm somehow a strange mix of optimistic yet eternally sad. i'm always gentle and kind or at least i like to think so.. i'm a good listener but a terrible talker, i'm so awkward fr. i'm a dreamer. i often find myself daydreaming or fantasizing about things. i think that's maladaptive daydreaming tho so.. i love reading, nd that's not exclusive to books! mangas, people's thoughts and ideas and rants, wikipedia (lol), fanfics, long tumblr posts, erotica. i think my mind is at peace when i am reading :) i love media and culture from the 2000s and 90s! everything seemed so iconic idk? bring back the ipod nano :3 i'm an eternal bedrotter and i know that's not a cool thing to put in here but idc bc it's real

i am not exactly of sound mind :3 but i'm not diagnosed with anything either so idk. ED, likely autistic, paranoia, possible AvPD?, agoraphobia, childhood trauma, obviously depression and anxiety bc u know how it goes.

this blog will mostly be sfw, but minors dni anyway. i have a kink sideblog which u may or may not know about. i don't want to link it here but mutuals and cool girls can dm me for it.

and speaking of dms, my dms and asks are open to all! be as weird and as real as you want. but i might be shy if u are a pretty girl. and i'm probably less tolerant of weirdness from those types of men.. we all know the type..

i also have discord, you can ask for it but unless u are a mutual u will be unlikely to get it.

anywayz, if u made it this far then thanks for reading and i hope we can be friends because that's the whole reason i have tumblr in the first place! :)

[im-so-stuupid]

lets be friends lol

heyyy, my name is monse but you can call me Mo. i’m an 18 y/o mexican american w ADHD, i think that sums me up ok.

i’ve posted something like this two years in a row so let’s just make it a tradition :)

i’m about to graduate highschool and i’m honestly scared. my first post to try and make friend was about liking one direction, harry styles, and some other stuff i’ve forgotten, last years post was about me liking Minecraft youtubers and all that, but it’s safe to say those are no longer my main hyperfixations. i’m always down to talk about the minecraft community (the good and bad),the toxicity of the internet in general, and to discuss important topics overall, though, my current obsession is now percy jackson again.

To all of the seniors going through tough times right now and are feeling lost,scared, and not ready, i feel you. if you need someone to hear you out just hit me up. really, as dumb as you think you sound or feel, feelings are feelings. dealing with mental illness and other unhealthy habits at this point makes me feel a little bit helpless and scared to move on from high school, but i have to remind myself that i am not alone in this, that other people understand this feeling too. so im here for you, and proud of all of us who have tried our best to make it to graduation.

but anyways,,, let me tell you about me and my relationship with PJO

i loved percy jackson when i was in middle school and it was my whole childhood. i never finished the heroes of olympus series because i think i was scared to have it all come to an end. Now that i’m a senior about to graduate i’ve decided to reread the books and finally finish the series, and i need people to talk to about the books :D i think finishing this series is the closure that i need, but i feel like many people (especially seniors) are going through tough spots right now and if you need someone to talk to and if you are willing to hear me rant about percy jackson once in a while don’t be shy to hit me up! just a “hey” to start a convo and it can lead somewhere

and of course pery jackson isnt the only thing ive been liking recently,if you want to talk music im always open to reccomendations! currently ive been back into tyler the creator but i think he might just be my all-time fav, rex orange county being a close second though, ive also been listening to panic at the disco again lmfao mostly the first two albums tho because they are the best (i don't accept criticism on this), and i guess ive been listeing to some mac miller, will wood, glass animals, harry styles, declan mckenna, and a bit of carseatheadrest loll.

i like minecraft, geoguessr and tbh i love playing fortnite because i suck and its really funny to do dumb shit so im down to game if you want. (i also have stardew and terraria if anyone would like to play with me). if you can teach me or want to learn how to play chess with me that would be sick tooi also quite enjoy crafting, i occasionally like to crochet, make friendship bracelets,make silly little clay things,draw, and paint.

I dont watch many shows or movies but i am really fucking excited for the new season of the umbrella academy to come out and for the new doctor strange movie as well, like SO excited. and ofc the PJO series that is in the works AHHH. my current fave youtubers are the sturniolo triplets and the only podcast i watch/listen to is the chuckle sandwich podcast but i do love emergency intercom as well.

so yeah, hmu if you wanna chat about anything and everything, all of the time ;) (also i forgot to mention that im gay but if you are homophobic please leave)

[qwertyfingers]

Not to be too forward but please drop your TNG watch order.

okay tng is. complex. here’s how i’d do it I think. I’m jumping about a lot, and I’m also struggling to remember a lot of it because my first watch was 7 years ago and my rewatch w friends we just did Sherlock Holmes and then went straight into chronological order. so this is like, combo of a handful of eps I remember being plot important and just stuff that makes me laugh.

Elementary, My Dear Data (S2E3) and Ship In A Bottle (S6E12). a) introduces you perfectly to the concept of holodeck episodes, which will be important later b) DaForge married gay energy off the charts c) Picard is really fun. the only failing of this as a start is the tragic lack of Guinan

ALL of the Q eps. Speedrun the Qcard nonsense and get a lot of the overall show plot

Encounter at Farpoint (S1E1 and S1E2)

Hide and Q (S1E10) - unnervingly babyfaced Riker. you could skip this one but it lays some good basis for who the Q continuum are, but it’s kind of fun

Q Who (S2E16) - borg introduction! absolute must watch. The insanity of ‘to learn about you is frankly provocative… but you’re next of kin to chaos’ as a line alone, let alone the voice Patrick Stewart gives to it. Iconic episode.

Deja Q (S3E13) - Q getting turned into a human as punishment for being a naughty boy. V funny, must watch

QPid (S4E20 babeyyyyy) - MUST WATCH one of thee funniest episodes and experiencing the QCard speedrun from farpoint to qpid is a very special kind of brainworms

True Q (S6E6) - this one is skippable tbh, but it is pretty fond and I’m personally fond of running a full Q supercut

Tapestry (S6E15) - this one isn’t as fun as most Q eps but it is VERY TNG-ish and therefore a must watch. If you’ll forgive the pun, it really gets at the heart of Picard’s character

All Good Things (S7E25 and S7E26) - as with most Star Trek finales it’s not the best. You don’t have to watch this here but it can be a fun bookend for the Q speedrun

You could also go watch DS9’s Q-Less (S1E6) if you’d like to see Q get punched in the face, it’s really very satisfying

You kind of have to watch The Best of Both Worlds (S3E26 and S4E1). If you’ve seen TNG before, you don’t need to worry about when you watch it. If you haven’t seen any TNG yet, watch it here.

Darmok (S5E2) - THEE most star trek of all star trek’s. hmu if you ever want me to rant about Darmok I have a whole badly-structured personal essay about it ready to go at all times

Disaster (S5E5) - Geordi and Crusher teamup is really fun, and ‘executive officer in charge of radishes’ is the best line in all 7 seasons of TNG

Schisms (S6E5) - you could just watch from the opening until Data’s poetry recital ngl. The ep is decent and I’d personally watch it all but this ep is mostly about Data’s poetry.

Sub Rosa (S7E14) - Crusher fucks a ghost. iconic behaviour

Dixon Hill eps! They’re fun and silly and much like watching TOS’ A Piece of The Action

The Big Goodbye (S1E12)

Manhunt (S2E19) - Lwxana. I’d do anything for Lwxana

Clues (S4E14) - Guinan as Gloria is so much fun I love her and she should have got a full episode!!!!!

The Measure of a Man (S2E9) - important Federation and Data lore. Very emotional.

Yesterday’s Enterprise (S3E16) - Tasha’a back!!!!!!!! Just a very cool ep imo

Hero Worship (S5E11) - Extremely good Data ep, good content about Federation attitude to mental illness

Datalore (S1E12) - another important Data ep, and Lore is laways fun

The Offspring (S3E16) - Data wants to be a dad!!!

I, Borg (S5 E23) - HUGH!!! IT’S ALL ABOUT HUGH!!!!!!!!! (I like to watch this right after The Offspring because it’s direct parallels of geordi and data just wanting to take care of people)

Brothers (S4E18) - more Data (And Lore) content

Descent (S6E26 and S7E1) - not required watching, but Lore is fun and evil

Fistful of Datas (S6E7) - EXTREMELY SILLY GOOD FUN ALLROUND. CAN NEVER GO WRONG W ACOWBOY EP

Sarek (S3E23) - I can’t remember the plot I just know Sarek shows up in a lavender robe and has mad chemistry with Picard. I’m  pretty sure they mind meld really hard??? Lord help me the old men you put on this spaceship to do politics are exploring eachothers’ minds in the most intimate manner possible <3

Unification (S5E7 and S5E8) - Spock attempts to re-unify Romulus and Vulcan. Iconic 2-parter, but definitely the kind of episode that benefits from watching with a friend so you can add commentary

if you like Romulan episodes you could watch the full Sela arc before this one (The Mind’s Eye S4E24, Redemption S4E26/S5E1, Unification)

Face of The Enemy (S6E14) - I can’t remember the entire plot but I’m pretty sure it was good and I love a good Romulan ep

The Host (S4E23) - Trill introduction!!!! So good.

The Game (S5E6) - profoundly stupid but worth it for how funny the graphics for the game are

Cause and Effect (S5E18) - just a pretty cool one

Time’s Arrow (S5E26 and S6E1) - One of TNG’s strongest plots imo

The Inner Light (S5E25) - another banger plot; Picard gets hit by a psychic probe and lives an entire life in a history that has already happened. there’s a really good Spones fic based on this episode and I could read an au like this for any ship I swear

Relics (S6E4) - Scotty!!!! It’s fun

Chain of Command (S6E10 and S6E11) - another one of TNG’s strongest plots. The origin of the ‘there are FOUR lights’ meme.

Birthright (S6E16 and S6E17) - this is an infamous double parter but all I actually remember is Julian Bashir appearing and meeting Data

Ensign Ro’s intro ep Ensign Ro (S5E03) i LOVE her

The Next Phase (S5E24) - cool ep where Ro and Geordi get stuck out of phase and are invisible from the crew, pretty fun

and the end of her arc with Preemptive Strike (S7E24)

I personally love Barclay and just choose to live in a universe where the misogyny wasn’t happening and he was just a weird little man, but if he bothers you, you can skip his arc. Don’t skip Genesis tho it’s good

Hollow Pursuits (S3E21)

The Nth Degree (S4E19)

Realm of Fear (S6E2)

Genesis (S7E19) - perfectly batshit star trek fake science. I love it

Masks (S7E17) - extremely silly and therefore fantastic

after this point I’d go back and watch in order all the way through, or look up a watch order for eps that are actually important plot-wise :’) 

[did-he-just-hiss-at-me]

y'all want some analodukeceit headcanons? these have been sitting in my drafts for ages

they're always doing something chaotic. you can never predict what's next

logan, virgil and deceit take turns being the sensible one when it comes to their chaotic shenanigans

Deceit: GUYS YOU CANT JUST INFILTRATE AREA 51! You. will. die!

Logan, Virgil & Remus: But... Aliens...

Deceit: No.

Logan, Virgil & Remus: =(

or:

Virgil: Guys no- You can't just break into the museum- G U Y S-

Remus: YOU CANT STOP ME FROM SEEING THE OCTOPUSES VIRGIL

Logan: Sorry starlight, the space exhibit is calling me.

Deceit: I am not missing a chance to see the reptiles. They need to know who's in charge here.

Virgil: G U Y S!!!!

or even:

Logan: ...Where are you guys going...?

Remus: To pull the biggest prank ever >:]

Logan: Wait no don't forget what happened last time-

Virgil: You can't stop the war, Logan!

Logan: NO- Deceit back me up here, you know this is a bad idea as much as I do!

Deceit, with arms full of silly string cans: Yeah, I sure do.

remus is of course, the root of those shenanigans to begin with

virgil has a specialized music playlist filled with songs that remind him of his wonderful bfs

rule number one of gift giving: never ever throw out anything remus gives you or you are dead

logan never ever forgets anything that can be considered an important day(name reveal days, series introduction days, other memorable stuff) and will give his bfs small but thoughtful gifts on those days

since deceit is an absolute flirt in canon he has that one nickname for each of his bfs that turns them into a blushy mess

but despite that, logan is the one who is best at making the others blush, he's rlly good at pickup lines

virgil is actually pretty athletic and will pick up one of his bfs and run when they are in danger

you know that one vine??? y'know, the:

Remus: *growling like a rabid dog*

Stranger: *SCREECH* GET YOUR FREAKING DOG!

Logan/Deceit/Virgil, nonchalantly: He don't(doesn't) bite.

Stranger: YES HE D O !

yeah

Logan will absolutely destroy whoever is mean to his bfs

that is to say, verbally. nerd only has brain strength, not muscle strength (sorry logan)

but, whenever Logan just feels So Done(tm) he'll Release The Beast(aka Remus) via pulling out a vocab card that says Vibe Check

every once in a while The Boys will convince Logan to let them do his makeup

it's always a disaster, makeup everywhere cuz they fight over what they should do for lo's makeup

they're all touch starved

they also know when to not cross each other's boundaries

none of the boys can bake; they're all banned from baking

why? well last time Deceit and Remus blew up the kitchen trying to make a lava cake Remus totally didn't misunderstand what a lava cake was

and the time before that, somebody(not snitching) got a pineapple upside down cake stuck to the ceiling

and by stuck, i mean it was up there for a month before it finally broke off of their ceiling on its own

supervillain analodemus. supervillain analodemus. supervillain analodemus. supervillain analo-

Remus & Virgil speak in cryptic memes to each other, to Logan's bewilderment

Deceit knows. He doesn't participate in their memes. But Logan's confusion is priceless so he stays quiet

the moment it becomes oct 1st their entire home is filled with halloween decorations. it's an unspoken challenge to see who can decorate the house first

guess who wins

we all agree they would have the best debates right

logan has a bunch of secret journals dedicated to his love for his bfs. you can't find them no matter what you try.

logan also has some galaxy slime in his bfs colors that he plays around with as a stress reliever

oh and speaking of galaxies, remus painted an accurate star map on logan's ceiling and he absolutely loves it

deceit has a bunch of snakes and he just becomes soft when taking care of them

all of them are short. f i g h t m e

keep remus away from sugar at all costs, if they do let him near sugar they better watch him cuz he's a hyperboi

deceit doesn't speak in lies when it's just them and it warms their hearts a bit cuz he's putting his trust in them

by taking off his hoodie, Virgil has the power to knockout his bfs using pure Gay Energy cuz he's actually pretty skinny >_> what else do you expect from the strong boi

if y'all want more i can give you more just hmu

[thejakeformerlyknownasprince]

I don't know how much this adds to the discussion regarding Animorphs being children's lit, but I think it's important to keep in mind that kids' books can get away with heavier themes than kids' shows tend to, so if someone's coming into the discussion with the framework of "for children" they may need to keep in mind that as a book it can cover more ground than a tv show that grownups just have to glance at to decide if it's "too much" for their kiddos (whether it is too much or not).

This definitely adds to the discussion of Animorphs as children’s lit!  I think you’re hitting the nail right on the head.  Many people don’t realize this (I didn’t realize this until I was in college and had a class on the subject) but television shows have to justify themselves to a metric shitton of people before they’re allowed to go on the air.  Books only have to justify themselves to a moderate-sized committee, if that.

People who have the power to veto content on TV shows include (but are not limited to): individual writers who have a particular idea, head writers who don’t like the idea, script editors who might take it out, directors who refuse to film what they don’t like, videographers or artists who add their own creative vision to ideas, visual effects teams who can cut things based on budget, voice actors who can protest decisions they don’t like, episode editors who might take an idea out, producers who won’t back anything that might cause controversy, studio executives who can pull content that’s not “on brand,” national network crews that can decide not to air certain content, local network crews that can also decide not to air certain content, and future “backers” who might decide not to invest in a show based on its content.

People who have the power to veto content in books include: the author with the idea, the agent who publicizes it, the editor who polishes it, and the publishing agent who sells the idea.  At most.

Nowadays, one can self-publish one’s own work with ZERO outside input, or else very little.  The Martian was read by exactly two (2!) people before Andy Weir put it on the internet, and it became an international bestseller.  It would be possible to make a self-published TV show with that little outside input… but most platforms wouldn’t promote it, and would probably take it down if it got hate-reported or had content violations.  Not only that, but (as Cates pointed out) books get edited as content that has already been written, in a story that already exists.  Shows get edited in the context of deciding whether it’s worth the trouble to write an idea that’s still hypothetical.

Television is ultra-conservative (in the sense of never rocking any boats in any direction) because it has to please hundreds of people with creative input and to justify its multi-million-dollar budgets.  Books can reach the minimum production value necessary to be good with the influence of one person (okay, lbr, two people) and fifty bucks for printing or web-hosting fees.  That’s the reason that only 42% of non-animated roles and 39% of animated roles go to women on TV, including only 12% of non-animated roles and 4% of animated roles going to women of color.  By contrast, 63% of children’s lit on The Atlantic’s bestsellers list is written by women, about female protagonists; that’s not counting books by men about female protagonists.  (They didn’t collect data on authors’ ethnicity; if anyone has this stat, HMU.)

It’s the reason that Arthur just made national news THIS FUCKING YEAR by depicting a same-sex (traditional) (Christian-coded) wedding ceremony, one that local networks in Alabama chose not to air.  Meanwhile, in 2015 Cates presented a conference paper about the history of kids’ picture books with queer protagonists, a history that goes back to 1981 (Jenny Lives with Eric and Martin) and covers such mainstream 1990s series as Bruce Coville’s Magic Shop and Dav Pilkey’s Captain Underpants.  We see the importance of the lack of gatekeepers: for instance, the author of Heather Has Two Mommies struggled to get a mainstream children’s press to pick up her book, so she went to a lesbian publisher, which ended up creating an entirely new branch for children’s books.  (Apparently there were entire publishing houses just for lesbian books in 1987?  The more you know.)  One other interesting case study for queer content is Gore Vidal: in 1948 he published what would today be classified as a YA gay romance novel (The City and the Pillar) but in 1959 he had to “code” and hide the queer content in the Hollywood film (Ben-Hur) that he also wrote.  Television to this day uses queer-coding in lieu of actual romance, especially when it’s kids’ TV (see: Legend of Korra or Adventure Time), while children’s literature has already made the push all the way into demanding that the queer romances in Grasshopper Jungle and Geography Club be more intersectional.

To be clear, it’s not like children’s books have carte blanche in this regard — Applegate and Grant have both apologized for having to code Mertil and Gafinilan rather than just marrying them off, and have expressed regret over not getting to write an openly bisexual Marco or openly trans Tobias.  But kids’ books can still fly under the radar of the wowsers in a way that kids’ shows often cannot.

Anyway.  Queer representation is obviously just one of a plethora of issues that get very different treatment in children’s books vs. children’s shows.  There are plenty of others.  Children’s shows can depict violence, but have to treat it as silly or inconsequential and avoid showing blood.  (Because that’s a great way to teach kids about not harming others!!!)  Children’s books can have as much blood — and, apparently, as many spilled entrails — as they would like, as long as those things don’t happen in the first couple of pages or make the cover summary.  Neal Shusterman is responsible for some of the most cringe-inducingly silly AniTV episodes, and also some of the most brutally unflinching works of children’s literature I’ve ever read.  American screen media are no longer subject to the Hays Code, but its marks still remain.  American literature has pretty much always been the Wild West, and with the advent of online self-publishing, the west is getting wilder.

Don’t judge a book by its movie.  And don’t judge a book by its show.  AniTV is tame and silly, treating its violence as inconsequential and its characters’ mental health struggles as harmlessly or innocent.  Animorphs has the courage to show that when you shoot a man he doesn’t just silently fall over and disappear but bleeds and screams and dies, that being a victim or a perpetrator of such violence can leave even “innocent kids” fighting for their lives against PTSD and depression.  It has the courage… but it also has the freedom to do so.  That’s an extremely important distinction that should not be overlooked.

break up with ur girlfriend (3/3) - dartmouth420

a/n: part 3: in which Raven makes an ethically questionable decision, Raja really doesn’t like mornings, absolutely nothing will crush Manila’s positive attitude, and Jujubee throws a curve ball

basically ye olde morning after weirdness

thanks for reading :)

Raven awoke tired and a little hungover in bed with Manila and Raja. She raised her head and sighed, then noticed the tall glass of water on the bedside table. She loosely remembered Raja padding out of the room just as Raven was drifting off (thoroughly fucked out and happy) and placing something on the bedside table. That was kind of her, especially considering the circumstances in which they’d met. Raven raised the glass and took a big drink, appreciative.

Raven sat on the edge of the bed quietly, not wanting to wake them. Maybe she’d go and make coffee or something. Or maybe she should just leave. Raven glanced over her shoulder. A perfect ray of sunlight was hitting the bed where Manila and Raja were still curled up, asleep, and whole thing was aesthetically glorious.

Raven wondered if what was about to do was ethical. But then she shrugged, and raised her phone. Also, she really liked them, and might be interested in seeing them again, so she held no malicious intent.

The photo she took was from a strong angle, consisting of the corner of her face, one eye visible, eyebrow raised, blonde hair smooth close to her head. Behind her was the bed, and Raja and Manila curled up, still asleep. Raja was deep in the covers, only one closed eye, her forehead and a streak her long grey hair visible. Manila was next to Raja, lying on her back fast asleep with her mouth open, the cover pulled up to her chin.

She hit send.

BITCH replied Juju, quickly, with about eighteen emojis, you fucked them both???

you bet replied Raven, smug.

Wait a sec, Juju replied. Then the second text came in.

ohhhhhh YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE IT

what?? Raven looked down at her phone, concerned.

BITCH THE GIRL ON THE LEFT IS MY SECOND COUSIN

The blood drained from Raven’s face, and she looked back at Manila, who was… well, a young woman who’s last name she hadn’t asked for and who’s social media who hadn’t checked out. But in a big, multicultural city like this who would’ve expected her to be related to Raven’s best friend?

fuckkkk

Juju sent her a text containing twenty laugh-crying emojis and one devil, followed by a vomit-face.

uhhhh, don’t be grossed out but she’s hot, replied Raven, who was finding the situation as distressing as it was funny. This new factoid raised the stakes, seeing this couple was no longer an entirely anonymous entity.

She mildly regretted sending the photo. Maybe it was an invasion of privacy.

BITCH DON’T TELL ME THAT ABOUT MY COUSIN

idk if anyone knows she’s gay tbh that whole side of the family is pretty religious

i didn’t know lol

oh shit I’m sorry… was just trying to brag to u about my conquest haha

why are u like this it’s fucked up lol

idk lol

thanks for telling me

but like

i might wanna see her again?

maybe both of them ;) ??? typed out Raven, hitting send with some mild guilt. She’d definitely need to sit down and think about this later. After she had some caffeine.

o really?

yeah…

aw <3

Raven smiled at the phone. She really loved Juju, they’d been best friends since college, and truly shared everything.

can’t wait to be ur in-law, teased Juju,

imma bring u really cheap wedding gifts

ur getting an off-brand slow cooker

BITCH!

anyway g2g <3 <3

hmu later <3

Raven got up and walked to the bathroom. She quickly rinsed her face and mouth. She put the unexpected information from Juju about Manila aside for now, and decided not address it. This really wasn’t the time or the place. Then she padded over to the kitchen. It was a bit cluttered, clearly well-used and loved.

There was an espresso machine on the counter, and Raven grinned. She knew how to work one of those, having done the time in her early twenties as a barista. While the water heated, Raven looked at the pictures on the fridge. There were kitschy magnets from a few places around the world, ‘Paris, je t'aime!’, and several photos, including two goofy school pictures of Raja and Manila respectively. Manila glared at the camera, about thirteen and deep in an emo phase, judging by her racoon-like eyeliner, back-combed hair and striped long-sleeved shirt. Raja’s picture was more innocent, a goofy-looking androgynous nine-year old with a big smile, round face and black hair sticking up awkwardly.

Raven snorted a laugh. She appreciated this couple’s sense of humour, displaying silly pictures on their fridge.

She sighed. She shared her apartment somewhat resentfully with two room mates. It wasn’t an ideal situation but it was cheap and because of that she’d been able to put aside some savings. If only Tyra would do the dishes every once in a while. Not to mention she was pretty sure Nicole had a crush on her, and she had to figure out how to let the other girl down easy. In fact, Nicole was probably taking her dog for a walk right now. Raven winced and sighed. Whatever, these were problems for Future Raven. Hopefully she’d find a better job soon, and move on.

The espresso machine was gurgling, so Raven moved over and dealt with it.

A few minutes later she snuck back into the bedroom with three cups of espresso. She was a little nervous, this wasn’t something she’d normally do. She was more of a leave immediately after sex or quickly in the morning kind of lover. But this felt like the right thing.

She put the coffee on the bedside table and sat on the bed, heart suddenly beating quickly.

The movement of Raven sitting back down on the bed disrupted Manila, who blinked her eyes open and yawned, stretching. The movement then woke Raja, who groaned and buried her face deeper into the pillow, disappearing under the duvet. Manila blinked and smiled sleepily at Raven.

“Good morning… oh! You made coffee!” said Manila, and she threw the covers off and made for the bedside table where Raven had put the little cups, “Oh my god, is that espresso?”

“Did somebody say espresso?” muttered Raja from deep in the blankets.

“Yeah, I made some,” said Raven, gently.

“That’s nice, you’re so sweet!” enthused Manila, kissing Raven on the cheek. Manila was shockingly perky, having been awake for less than one minute, “And I thought you were all mean and sexy last night…”

“She’s great. Keep your voice down,” muttered Raja.

Raven stifled a laugh, and sipped her own coffee. Manila crawled off the bed and threw on a robe, before sitting next to Raven and drinking her coffee in silence. Eventually, a long brown arm stuck out of the pile of covers that contained Raja, and Manila carefully put the cup of espresso into her hand. The arm retreated into the pile of covers almost cartoonishly. The only evidence of Raja’s existence was a small slurp and a happy sigh.

“I had a really nice time with you two, last night,” whispered Raven, putting a hand on Manila’s thigh.

“Aw thanks! I did too, and Raja as well,” replied Manila, quietly.

“Lovely, so… I can leave whenever, if you’ve got something you’re doing today-”

“Oh, don’t worry about it,” replied Manila, smiling so that the edges of her eyes crinkled happily, “Neither of us have plans, you can hang out for breakfast, whatever suits you.”

“Right, well,” replied Raven, her heart glowing a little upon hearing she was welcome to stay, “I really need to shower.”

“Mmm, I think I’ll join you,” said Manila, putting down her cup down. They both glanced back at the pile of blankets and pillows that contained Raja somewhere deep within it.

“Yeah, she won’t be really awake for a while.”

-

Of course, Raven ended up on her knees in the shower eating Manila out against the wall. A truly good start to the day, Raven mused to herself as Manila squirmed and gasped, throwing her head back with pleasure. What could be better?

When they were finally done, they found Raja in the kitchen, starting to cook. The older woman had put her hair up on top of her head in a messy bun, wore dark-rimmed glasses and an elaborately patterned silk robe.

“Your glasses are too cute,” said Raven, as she towelled her hair dry. She was wearing a borrowed bathrobe, one of an apparently infinite supply, “Anything I can help with?”

“No, just sit there and look pretty,” replied Raja, with an affectionate smile.

“That’ll be easy.”

Breakfast was insanely good. It was better than any breakfast Raven had had in a long time, and she’d certainly worked up an appetite. Raja could really cook. They hung around the table for a while, chatting away about plans for the weekend and this and that. Eventually Raven changed, slipping her dress from last night back on, feeling a bit weird next to the other two, who were wearing relaxed weekend clothes. It was time to retreat to her own apartment and chill out.

“I think I’ll call an uber,” said Raven to Raja. Manila was checking her phone, and Raja was putting dishes in the sink.

“I can give you a ride,” said Raja, shrugging.

“You sure?”

“Yeah, it’s no problem.”

“Okay, thanks,” said Raven. She supposed it’d be worth it to save the eight dollars on the ride.

“Manila, you want to come?” asked Raja, half-turning towards the other woman.

“Ah, no, sorry I have to make a call in a few minutes,” said Manila, giving Raven an apologetic smile.

Manila then engaged in a drawn out goodbye with Raven, leaving her with lingering kisses and an exchange of numbers. Raja watched from the door, lacing up her shoes, and raised a single eyebrow. Then Raven got her little purse and left with Raja. Her high-heeled club shoes clicked along the floor of the hallway.

In the carpark under the building, they approached an ugly 90’s style green car.

“Wow, this thing is ancient,” joked Raven, sitting down on the worn passenger seat. But unlike Juju’s car that seemed to be always covered in empty takeout containers and random garbage, Raja’s was meticulously clean. Raven didn’t have a car, but everything she did was comfortably within either cycling or public transit distance, and for anything that wasn’t Juju would drive her.

“Yeah, so everyone tells me,” chuckled Raja, shifting into gear, “But it’s reliable, hasn’t died yet. I made it through Hurricane Katrina in this thing.”

“You can drive stick?” asked Raven, curious, “Also… what?”

“Yep,” replied Raja, winking, “And I’ll tell you that story sometime if you’re lucky.”

“Hmm.” Raven was impressed and she eyed Raja’s tattooed hand on the gearshift as she confidently manoeuvred the car out of the parkade into the street. The bright sun burst through the windshield, and reflected off of Raja’s white Tshirt.

“So,” said Raven as they drove, after she’d given Raja her address. She felt a bit exposed, without any makeup on and her hair still slightly damp from the shower.

“So,” replied Raja, smirking a little at Raven’s uncharacteristic hesitance, “Manila gave you her number, right?”

Raven nodded, and then she had no idea why she said it, but suddenly it was out of her mouth, “It turns out I distantly know her.”

“Oh yeah? From where?”

“She’s my friend Juju’s second cousin.”

Raja stiffened at the mention, shifting the clutch and accelerating through the green light, “You know her family?”

“No. She just happens to be related to her. Juju’s my best friend,” replied Raven, inwardly cursing. Why had she even mentioned it?

“How did you find out?”

“Checked out her instagram this morning, realized the connection,” Raven lied quickly, guilt flaring in her stomach.

“Right. Well. Manila’s family is pretty religious,” said Raja matter-of-factly, but Raven could see lingering resentment in her expression, “Let’s just say they don’t approve of us and leave it at that. Maybe don’t mention this to your friend.”

“Of course not.”

“Good.”

Raven wondered if she could have handled that better. But then again, family was complicated.

They pulled up at Raven’s soon after that. Raven was having a hard time getting a read on Raja, so she decided to say exactly how she felt and Raja could interpret it however she so desired. They’d been quiet for the last few minutes of the drive. It was a beautiful day, thought Raven, looking out the window at the bright blue sky.

“Well, I had a great time with you two last night and I hope you stay in touch, I’d love to see you again,” said Raven, with a warm smile as she opened the door to get out.

“I had a good time as well,” said Raja, with a half-smile, “I, ah, just felt a bit weird with you bringing up Manila’s family. I’m basically suspicious of anyone who knows them since they’ve been so shitty to us over the years. But yeah, I like you too. Until next time.”

And then Raja leaned in and kissed Raven intently. Raven raised her eyebrows, surprised. And then Raja pulled back and gave her an absolutely filthy grin, and when Raven left the car she waved. Raven waved back and saw in Raja the same goofy energy as she’d seen in the childhood photo on her fridge. It was a bit of a shock after her cool exterior, but charming.

Hmmm. It seemed the night before had worked out in the best way possible. Raven opened the front door to her building and nodded pleasantly to her elderly neighbour, who looked her up and down disapprovingly.

Raven walked up the two flights of stairs towards her apartment, feeling thoroughly satisfied. She had work on Monday and a bunch of laundry and groceries and chores to do before then. Also, Juju would be back Sunday afternoon and she was looking to reuniting with her best friend after their brief time apart.

There was much to discuss.

-

The following morning she received a text.

You doing anything next weekend? :P

Raven raised an eyebrow and replied, new phone who dis

It’s Manila!!! Omg you’re the worst lol

that’s what they all say

hmmmmm i think i’m available friday ;)

Yay!! We’ll be in touch, Manila sent a quick photo of herself and Raja, a selfie in Raja’s car. Manila was sticking her tongue out at the camera and Raja was looking at something out of frame, light reflecting off her glasses. There were bags full of groceries behind them in the back seat.

Raven smiled down at her phone like a love-struck fool.

[cloakofred]

an intro to little red:

that’s luna garnet walking down the street, the twenty-three year old, who looks like madelaine petsch. here in apple peak, they work as a server at bella notte. some say she acts like red riding hood from little red riding hood, since she can be courageous & kind, but also a little bit naïve & credulous.

okay listen folks! i’ve put this intro off for a hot minute bc im the worst and haven’t figured out every aspect of her character just yet but i wanna get her up so i can get plots and things goin!! so pls luv my bb red even if shes a lil unfinished

mother said, straight ahead — not to delay or be misled

her full name is luna cleopatra garnet.  (her mother was a fan of fantasy & whimsy) though she often goes by her nickname, red.

the history of the nickname is a story of the chicken or the egg.  red is usually donned head to toe in the color, for it is her absolute favorite.  she can often be seen about town in her famous red cape, first gifted to her by her grandma when she was a little girl.  she loved it so much, that every birthday after her granny stitched her up a new one after the old one had been worn, and torn, and outgrown.

her grandma will say she made the first cloak because little luna loved red so much, but luna will claim she loved the color because it was the shade of her favorite red hood.

red is the child of a single mother.  she was raised by her mother and her granny, who loved her dearly.  it was a supportive household, filled with kindness, tenacity, and joy.

she were never very well off, luna’s mother worked multiple jobs to support them, and luna starting doing small odd jobs of her own as soon as she was able.  she would pick flowers in the woods and sell them to her neighbors as a young girl, and would eventually log many hours babysitting, cleaning, or gardening for others as a teen.

she was always an adventurous and independent child, and that carried into her teens and young adulthood.  she liked to explore, make friends, and lived in an innocent world.

ABUSE TW: when she was in high school, she was involved in an abusive relationship with a boy she didn’t love, and one who didn’t love her, though he had always claimed otherwise.  but that wasn’t love, she would soon learn that.  for the first time, she was lying to her mother, to granny.  she walked through the world hidden under a red hood.  and when she eventually broke down, had had enough and came clean, it was the women she loved who rescued her, who patched her up and gave her strength. ( end of tw )

i should have headed her advice, but he seemed so nice

she currently lives with her grandma.  she takes care of her, and she is her very best friend.  

her mother isn’t around rn (I HAVENT SUPER FIGURED OUT WHY YET so i’ll let you guys know)

she works as a waitress at bella notte to make some money.  she enjoys cooking and baking herself, and dabbles in it from time to time.  her favorite recipes are ones she can make with fresh picked ingredients, especially ones she can find herself in the woods.

stops at the tea kettle like once a day at least to get sweets for granny okay

can’t find her? she’s probably sitting in a field of wildflowers, under a tree in the middle of the forest, riding her bike through town – the front basket filled with warm pastries, or reading at her grandmother’s side.

but what a change! no cloak of red — no silly hood upon her head.  she said “hello, and please do note: my lovely furry wolfskin coat.”

red is courageous and adventurous.  she likes to explore.

she is often lead astray, she is easily distracted by the beautiful and intriguing, which can get her into trouble.

because of this, it is often hard for her to stay focused on one task or stay dedicated to a single project.  

she is fiercely loyal to those that she loves.  she will literally do anything for you.  SHES GOT U SIS

has a love for flowers and nature, and shes very drawn to the moon.  that was probably her mother’s fault for naming her luna, but she feels a deep connection to it.

a certified gay™

she considers herself an optimistic realist.  she is generally very kind and generous, but she sees the world for what it is.  she’s no longer the little girl wandering through the trees alone, she protects herself.  at times, she can still be a bit too impulsive, trusting, and naïve.  she is trying to be more cautious, more observant.  she doesn’t want that to harden her though.

"In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.” 

i know things now — connections

friends friends!!! give her all the friends!  people she grew up with, went to school with, work(ed) with, met on a long walk in the woods idk

romantic stuff old & new

people who are regulars at the restaurant???

IDK IM BAD AT THIS HMU WE’LL FIGURE IT OUT !!! 

[stbcrn]

hello everybody !! it’s your resident plotting hoe, adri !!  i go by she/her, am 21+, and from the gmt+8 timezone. you can mainly catch me on versctle which is my active indie rp blog. so yeah if you got a follow from that, you don’t necessarily have to follow it back from your character blog since this ( stbcn ) is a sideblog !!

i have yet to really finish my blog, but will update you guys when i do !!

anyway, i love my filthy rich babies with all my heart. please keep in mind that they are both in an OPEN RELATIONSHIP , which enables individual threads and poly threads with your muses without them cheating on each other. anyway this ought to be fun since it’s my first time to actually take on a poly ship in a rp group !! candice is openly pansexual and panromantic, while zach is bi-closeted, regarding both bisexuality and biromance. he’s only ever been exclusive with girls, but he’s definitely into guys as well and can be quite defensive about this. but of course, connections are not limited to sexual or romantic, but also angsty, platonic, familial, you name it !!

here are some tidbits of them:

CANDICE FLAIR:

she was an only child at first, neglected by her parents since they were both busy with business and didn’t have the best marriage. her earliest memory was her parents fighting in the kitchen, when her dad pointed a knife at her mom

to compensate for their absence, they had enough money to buy her whatever she wanted and was raised by a nanny, that had no choice but to spoil her like her parents had wished

in spite of all this, candice focused on her studies. she was a very studious girl since she really wanted to make her parents proud of her. she was one of the top in her classes, as well as one of the richest and prettiest girls in her school

when her parents miraculously made up and renewed their vows, their household expanded and candice became the big sister of four baby siblings

because she was almost a teenager at this age, her parents had expected her to be on her own, while they focused on their business and prioritized their recent children whenever they got the chance to do so

she had to watch her parents giving the love and affection to her younger siblings, what she had been craving for when she was a lonely little girl

candice may be seen as a rich kid by others, but she’s the type who falls close to the bottom, which meant that hanging out with the most popular kids in school was not in her league, though she strived for their validation and charmed her way into their clique

her charm and manipulative ways made it convenient for her to get free things from her richer friends, which made it easier for her to save up ( smart cookie, eh ? )

she climbed up the social ladder by being relevant in school, building up a reputation of being the gorgeous rich girl who appeared in the hottest events and was associated with the most memorable people in her school, even the hot english teacher that girls assumed was gay, not until candice made her move

but she didn’t limit her audience to the elite, even trying to charm cliques of other kinds, such as the jocks, stoners, etc. living up to her label “the chameleon” by building connections and seeking for advantages

when she grew older, the less she got home. either staying with a friend, a hotel, anything to really avoid her parents when they were home

she was a party girl but knew how to prioritize her studies

she graduated high school with flying colors as a salutatorian, which her parents were proud of, but candice had gotten cold and thought it was too late for them to reach out to her now

she is now taking up engineering in university, though she is still the wild child who sleeps around with richer people, regardless of how old they are and is an aspiring sugar baby and trophy wife

QUICK IMPORTANT FACTS: candice destroys the stereotypes of being objectified as a “pretty girl” by being studious and prioritizing her academics. in spite of this, she loves manipulating people to get what she wants for her enjoyment, but she is also capable of being independent and doesn’t get attached, which is why she shifts from one person to another

she may be one of the hottest and best dressed, but she enjoys html, computer science, and computer hacking on her spare time. this was something she adapted from one of the people she’s dated when she was in her early teens

she is capable of backstabbing and betrayal, as well as plotting on revenge to anyone who might spite her. she’s a kitty with claws and could get physical when she deems necessary

ZACHARY SULLIVAN:

zach was born and raised in hawaii, with an older sister and his native parents. unfortunately, his mother passed away when he was three, to which his family was devastated with. zach hadn’t known her very well, but he’s heard stories of how amazing and sweet she was

his father, has always been a certified alcoholic, and his vice had worsened when he grieved over the loss of his wife, making him very distant and hostile towards zach and his sister. they never had the best father-son relationship, which had zach seeking for other father figures, only to return to the image of his father and his problematic ways

he was nurtured by the tender love and care of his grandparents instead, and zach was a certified beach bum that enjoyed certain hobbies such as surfing and swimming, since they lived close to the beach

he saw no importance in his studies, deciding to bolt off with his friends or skip his classes to have fun. he got away easily since his family was rich and his grandparents always got his back when he was failing his subjects. he was definitely spoiled by his grandparents that he grew with a feeling of entitlement

zach had a natural charm regardless of his lethargy, which made him a persuasive and eloquent speaker to his peers and others

by the age of 12, his father met a woman ( a tourist ) and fell in love, which made zach and his family move to california to live with the woman and her daughter

they eventually got married and zach had to live with his step mother and step sister, but these two never got along, and zach always felt like there was a competition amongst the three of them, trying to be the best child to his father ( though he and his full-blooded sister were often on good terms )

he joined the swimming team in high school and had appeared in various competitions

he developed his first love that only broke his heart and made him want to close his heart to ever love again

he grew into a fuqboi, being irresponsible and aiming to be a bigger disappointment to his father and step-mother, who were both greatly catching on

he would sabotage his step sister with every chance he gets since she gets on his nerves for some reason

and he thrived to have their attention, even when it was negatively, feeling smug and getting into arguments with them to feel alive

he’s gotten acquainted best with the popular kids and the stoners, since he was often getting high, attending parties, or ditching his classes to do anything else

zach was one of the common students to get into detention, since he was always getting into trouble and wasn’t really afraid when he got caught

he’s got anger issues and would seem bossy and demanding whenever he feels like it. he’s also not afraid to get physical with people since he can be quite hedonistic

he’s got massive abandonment issues and hates the thought of being alone, and would rather spend a night with a stranger, in spite of him being defensive of his clinginess

he’s actually got a lot of issues like this list could go on but pls do love my problematic son he needs all the character development he can get

he takes up human resources since he wants to get into the business of recruitments, though he’s been held back from his subjects since he doesn’t plan on attending most of them

THEIR HISTORY TOGETHER:

zach and candice have a messy history of being on/off friends with benefits in high school, that eventually led to an open relationship, where they agree to see other people individually or see other people together. they have grown an attachment to each other but neither has thought about taking the relationship seriously, but it still complicates the people they’re dating, since they make up and break up every time

so yeah, while i fix the rest of the blog, please just like this post or hmu for plots !! some wanted connections would definitely be:

FOR CANDICE:

her best friend since childhood

an ex that she cannot get over

friends who act like lovers (girls)

a hookup gone wrong since he almost got her pregnant 

FOR ZACH:

his first love that fuelled him into being a fuqboi

his step sister that gets on his nerves

a guy he’s been crushing on and vice versa

his best friend/partner-in-crime that he gets in trouble with

stoner buddies, drinking buddies

FOR BOTH:

friends, friends with benefits, frenemies

[findteenpenpals]

group video chatting (also this is really long I'm sorry)

so I’ve submitted to this whole blog twice before and I’ve actually found some pretty good friends that I still talk to and it’s always been really fun. but I’ve always had this little kinda dream idea- even though it’s kinda silly, of having this group of online friends that actually become really close and just constantly video chat each other, and just like become a group of best friends you know. so idk maybe it’s a bit unrealistic but I’ve never actually seen someone do this before so I was thinking that If anyone wanted to (god I’m really bad at explaining this) like meet some new people, but instead of just online chatting we can actually see each other and talk- plus it’s with other people which makes it slightly easier to get a convo going. because I imagine that when you video chat it actually makes it more likely for you to still talk and something about it seems more intimate and real which might help actually create a friendship 🤷🏿‍♂️. but yeah that was just a lil explanation of the whole point of this thing. so now to the actual introduction. 

I’m pj, as I like to call myself ‘a queer little shit’, I’m 14,I’m genderfluid and pansexual, I like debating bout politics, I love art and art related stuff -lemme just list them here 

. drawing(digitally and traditionally) 

.painting(digitally and traditionally) 

.acting

.filming 

.photography 

.fashion modeling 

.singing 

.playing ukulele and guitar 

and so that’s practically the artistic side of me. then shows and movies I love and shit. and there’s a lot more trust me but I really need to shorten this so

.supernatural 

.bojack horseman 

.rick and morty 

.oitnb

.the black panthers:vanguard of the revolution 

.the imitation game

.hidden figures

.camp camp

.voltron 

.big mouth 

also I’m super fucking awkward sometimes but it’s fine, and I’m gonna stop talking bout myself so that this doesn’t get extremely longer than it already is.

requirements:

.age 13-17 

.will participate in video chatting 

.skype (if there’s any other apps that has good group video messaging I’d be open to using it also, depends on what majority decides on using)

so that’s basically it (kinda, I was really trying to stop myself from ranting completely) so if you need more info or want to join just hmu @undoubtedly-gay here on Tumblr or @whypj_ on insta. I’ll probably start actually commencing the group and stuff like that when I get atleast three people who join, and the limit will maybe be 10 people. can’t wait to meet you ❤️

.*☆* wanted plots

      x - my goal today is to get some more plots going bc everyone is so nice and i'm loving all of the characters i see so far but i want some more detialed relationships w them. so ya gonna include some plots i want and if any strike your interest slide in my dm's. 

friend stuff

CLOSED - ALLEGRA .*☆ frenemies ; they're friends because lol #squadgoals ?? am i right? but they hoenstly have NOTHING in common other than their mutual friends. they try to do things together on their own, but things are always really awkward and surfaced between the two. i sense some future backstabbing with these two.

CLOSED - CHLOE .*☆ prank partner in crime ; these two are always pranking one another or pranking others together. people on the internet always rave about how hard they ship the friendship because they’ve made endless hilarious videos of them being trolls... think like this 

CLOSED - GRAZIA .*☆ stress b(all)estie ; always there for mae when she needs an open ear and to talk shit. she’s one to usually bottle things up, but not with this one. one of the few who knows about her sexuality, and is always giving her advice bc mae is #messy. 

CLOSED - AXEL .*☆ stoners in crime ; these two are always smoking when they’re together. probably trying other drugs too, but weed always comes first. they smoke then watch silly cartoons or talk about life for hours. 

OPEN .*☆ gym buddies ; working out is harder when you’re alone, so when mae isn’t with her trainer she is with this person. they always post cute gym selfies together on snap and the gram to show off their progress.

OPEN .*☆ staged friendship ; it’s not that they don’t like each other... it’s just that they’re not really friends at the end of the day. these two did a duet together, and in order to raise the attention their song receives, management is constantly staging opportunities for people to buy that they are the best of friends. how about NO.

OPEN .*☆ #same ; also closeted (m or f or nb tbh), mae and this person bond over the simple fact that they both are living lies for the sake of their careers. they come to one another about dealing with the pressure and make things easier for one another. what if one actually came out though??? would the other feel compelled to follow suit or just feel abandoned and slightly jealous?? 

not-so-friendly stuff

OPEN .*☆ enemies!!! ; there’s nothing fake about their hatred towards each other. no one can quite put their finger on what started it all, but these two can’t stand one another. they’ve bad mouthed each other on the internet and in interviews and things are only getting worse between the two. 

OPEN(F) .*☆ the other woman ; mae’s last staged relationship ended with a HUDGE cheating scandal where the male was found going out with another girl in the spotlight. while the relationship was fake, the cheating was very real. mae could really care less about the other woman, but for the sake of the cameras and juicy story she ha to pretend to hate the other. what she hates more is that the media would rather see girls fight over a guy than ban together.  

CLOSED - SMAUEL .*☆ the ex ; this would be the guy who cheated... he didn’t know (still doesn’t) that mae is secretly gay, but he does know that their management forced them into dating a year or so back. he didn’t think she wasn’t attracted to him,  just more so that she was boring as hell. while mae’s feud with the other woman is almost completely staged, her anger towards her ex is real. his actions fucked up her image, and she’ll never forgive him for that. 

CLOSED - MINA .*☆ the real ex ; while mae was dating (read above), he wasn’t the only person messing around behind her back. hey, a girl’s got needs. she and this person secretly had relationships and very real feelings going about where no one could see. mae swore up and down she was falling in love, but ultimately her desperation to stay closeted and not leave her “boyfriend” is what tore them apart. this person couldn’t take the lies and hetero switch flipping on and off any longer. mae holds lots of pain towards this person, because they truly broke her heart.

romantic stuff

OPEN(F) .*☆ unrequited love part i. ; mae has the BIGGEST crush on this person, but they are soooo straight it’s not even funny. it causes mae to be unnecessarily nice and awkward in front of them. think middle school crush type of stuff. 

CLOSED - KALEB .*☆ unrequited love part ii. ; mae is so clueless to the fact that this guy has been feeling her for most of their friendship. she thought things were just platonic, and that he was just a super nice guy. but once he finally spills his guts about his feelings, her preexisting “boyfriend”  may not be the only obstacle in his way. 

OPEN(M) .*☆ pr relationship ;in order to cover up mae’s secret, management has stuck her in yet ANOTHER pr relationship. this time, he knows the secret... well, only because he caught her messing around with a girl. this relationship is a bit more functional and healthy where they can juggle this act they have going on as well as a friendship. 

CLOSED - MARLOWE .*☆ secret love interest ; just wanna see where this goes, completely based off of chemistry.

CLOSED - PHOEBE .*☆ flirtationship ; some girls platonically flirt with their friends, nbd... but this girl may not realize that mae is very serious in the little jokes she makes. 

okay, that’s just a few ideas. i’ll keep adding more to the list where you can also find here as time goes on. hmu to plot or simply like this post if you have other ideas idk (tagging those i said i’d link to this ) @chlloes @reneeeh
