[cleumz-moved]

Could I request extra fluffy time with Satan and Solomon, separately, with a gentle, relaxing date while it rains outside

𖤐 RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY, COME AGAIN ANOTHER DAY

𖤐 characters included - satan, solomon

𖤐 warnings - none, lmk if i'm mistaken tho

𖤐 note - solomon's ended up waaay longer n also i got kinda carried away, just a little ^^; still, i hope u enjoy

SATAN 𖤐

the violent rain shook the windowpanes in their frames from the behind the open curtains. you could hear the wind howling outside and whistling through the cracks in the old building.

of course, you worried about none of it because you were warm and safe on a small, red, velvety couch with satan, each reading your own books.

satan was engrossed in a history tome detailing the cooking and food related culture of a lost civilization, while you were reading 'esio trot¹', by roald dahl.

turning pages, the smell of paperbacks and dust, even the chill of this room, had grown familiar to you, comforting even.

you were curled up in satan's side cozy despite the current state of the weather. satan was perfectly comfortable as well, and thought you should know it.

"you know, my dear, it certainly is lovely to have you here. i simply adore having you at my side." significantly flustered by his sudden proclamation, your face flushed, and satan had the audacity to elicit a chuckle!

now it was your turn, "i think it's lovely with you, even in a storm like this, your beauty manages to shine through like a sunburst!"

SOLOMON 𖤐

filling your ears was the ceaseless pleut-pleut-pleut² of the rain on ground, as it formed little pools on the cobbled path, with it's mismatched stones, and garish weeds peeking through the cracks. those weeds were probably grateful the cascade of clean, clear water.

however, you were not.

solomon was making you gather this one bizarro flower with him, apparently it only bloomed in the rain. he said it was invaluable to one of the potions he needed desperately.

although you grumbled your protestations to his scheme, you knew he was going to drag you along anyway, and that you didn't really mind.

the downpour had you totally drenched, and to put it simply, you were miserable. solomon was slightly off the cobblestone path you had been following, and he could be seen peering under ferns and the other underbrush decorating the forest floor.

after you called out to him, he turned his head and glanced at you with owlish scrutiny.

"solomo-on," you started, childishly dragging on the last syllable, "i'm wet, and tired, and i wanna go ho-ome!" you complained dragging on the 'o' sound just as before. "well, darling, have you found the blossom yet? no? then i suggest you keep looking, or else we'll be stuck out here 'til this storm blows over." he was sooo unfair! him and his stupid, loveable face, and his dumb, drop dead gorgeous, utterly bewitching, smile.

needless to say you begrudgingly went back to looking, perhaps now with more vigor, as you wanted to get home and change into some nice, dry clothes.

while checking behind some trees you heard an exclamation, it was solomon, had he finally found what he had been looking for? it seems to be so! at long last, you can go home!

after arriving back at the purgatory hall, solomon got you a towel and helped you dry your hair, after all was said and done, he leaned over and pressed a kiss to your cheek, a 'thank you', for helping him today, it was warmer and cozier than the fire simeon insisted on lighting for the both of you, worried you'd catch a cold.

¹ esio trot is a really great book! although less well-known compared to some of roald dahl's more popular works (matilda, charlie and the chocolate factory, the fantastic mr. fox, james and the giant peach, just to name a few <3), it's a lovely read! 𖤐

² 'il pleut' is french for 'it's raining', and how i remember is 'pleut' sounds like a raindrop plunking down in a puddle! 𖤐

𖤐 requests for obey me r currently open

☕️ The Love Bug 1997 ☕️ Knight Rider ☕️ Knight Rider 08 ☕️ SeaWorld

☕️ The Love Bug 1997

Jesus this is a Pandora’s box. @merciresolution you caused this

It is my favourite of the Herbie movies, I seriously love this silly film. It feels like it was filmed in the same alternate universe as the Roald Dahlmovies and the character design is stunning. I want the shark car. Herbie is actually in very little of the movie as an actual character, and more of a plot piece (kind of like the transformers movies). But when he is used as a character, he is wonderfully written. Also, like any good forgotten Disney movie, this movie has plenty of WTF moments and Nazi’s [or at least Nazi vague posts]. Did you know Herbie was built as a sentient war car in operation paperclip! Did you want to know that? Who cares it’s technically cannon.

My real favourite part of this beautiful mess is the villains. We have three main villains and I guess technically the guy with the shark car. The guy in the shark car drives this

and he is literally one of the highlights of the film. [He also has the worlds best outfits, we Stan Shark car guy]

Anyways, the other Three are our Big Bads, Simon Moore III [who I thought was named Melvin for longer than I should have], his evil car Horace [who I won’t spoil for anyone who wants to watch the movie], and his PA Rupert [who is a gem played by Dana Gould, he is also a high light of the film].

I literally love the absolute power of the cast as well, we have Dana Gould, the filthiest comedian I can name off the top of my head, playing a criminally under rated character with some of the most damned method acting I’ve seen [the man gained weight and specifically went out of his way to buy padding for his costume, he also has very particular body language in the movie which is some of the best I’ve ever seen[I’ve also seen articles where when he mentions the role, he talks about how he had very specific ideas that Disney didn’t allow, I really want to know what he truly means[I think it was to make Rupert trans, but that’s just me, it would explain some of the body language and the padding but I have trans Hc’s for everything so lets be real here]]]. John Hannah as a crafted Villain that the movie can’t pick a set in stone country for, the entire movie he moves between a British man with a deep Scottish accent and a Scottish man with the worlds weakest Scottish accent, they also made a fake flag for Scotland which is great, when you see it you’ll know, also this is one of the most clearly gay Disney villains I’ve seen in live action, he is literally dismissive of heterosexuality. Ali Wentworth as one of the best written love interests in the entire film series, she can be a bit creepy sometimes but she also is so self aware that she goes right back into in character, I literally love some of her lines. Clarence Williams IIIas the best side gag character I’ve ever seen, his entire character in the 3rd act is completely unneeded but probably one of the best parts. Bruce fucking Campbell and Dean fucking Jones, nuff said.

I’m going to stop rambling now because the others are going to look really short but this movie, man, this movie.

[btw, if anyone wants a higher quality version than the one on YouTube, I can hook you up, it also has good audio unlike the one on YouTube]

☕️ Knight Rider

Literally a early 80′s mess and I love it. Everything from the Hoff’s objectively trash acting [I still love him tho, but Jesus could this guy stop watching William Shatter acting tutorials and pick up a book on how to drive] to the fact the show hypes Ki2T up so much and every time the stunt car is shown it’s failing miserably at it’s task.

Devon Miles is my gay cowboy British grandfather and you can literally pry him from my cold dead hands.

☕️ Knight Rider 08

I still have no clue what’s going on but that car is gay, like, really gay. Honestly that whole show is gay from what I’ve seen. Also that Ki3T’s daddy had a clone kink, I’m just saying.

☕️ S*aW*rld

WRITING MEME

tagged by @amillionsmiles thank you!! this was so much fun

1) How many works do you currently have in progress?

I started a new multi-chapter work and I have like 6 one shots I’m working on simultaneously cus I keep getting dumb ideas orz one’s almost done tho so...go me?

2) Do you/would you write fanfiction?

whom

3) Do you prefer paper books or ebooks?

both!! I will read off a fucking stone tablet  or specifically shaved back hair patterns  if I need to. I just want all the words

4) When did you start writing?

Since I was really young! I talked a lot so writing was a great outlet for when I wasn’t able to Shut The Fuck Up. My elementary school friend and I had a good thing going where up until Yahoo! Messenger died, we’d send each other plots and huge story chunks in purple size 20 curlz font. As for fan fiction, I have a notebook in my room that has dirty inuyasha fanfic I wrote in gr5 (he kissed my OC) and then I published H*talia fic in the summer before Gr11....lol...

5) Do you have someone you trust that you share your work with?

There are two people I’d like to specifically shout out... C, who watched Voltron specifically so she could read over my University AU, and @hartfulloflove​ who will read all my stuff and be my sounding board despite having only watched a couple of episodes.

6) Where is your favourite place to write?

my utmost favourite place to write is under my blanket at 2am on my iPod because then I can like hyper-focus.

7) Favorite childhood book

Harry Potter was the first full book I read. I think Witches by Roald Dahl was really formative for me as was Velocity by Dean Koontz. I read it at age 12 and was inspired to make people as paranoid as that book made me.

8) Writing for fun or writing for publication?

I write scripts for production, but other than that I write for fun! I’m very big on visual story telling, so fanfic is probably gonna be the only writing of mine that I “publish”. The rest you’d see through short films/animations etc :)

9) Pen and paper or computer?

computer, I like to restructure a lot and it makes my life easier lol

10) Have you ever taken any writing classes?

I took a script writing class in second year university. The teacher was a grade A jerk but also gave me some of the most formative story telling advice of my life

11) What inspires you to write?

For original work: I like creeping out people! My entire thesis revolved around what exactly it is about monsters that terrify us, and what evokes strong fear in humans when they consume media. I like blood and guts and gore and all that but I feel the most effective horror is the one that latches on to your brain and leaves you feeling paranoid for a week.

For fanfic: I like making people laugh! Or smile or generally be excited about work. Fanfic is a labour of love for me, specially since it gives me a chance to explore things I normally wouldn’t while making a horror short. With my fanfic, I like brightening up people’s day or atleast providing them with some form of entertainment. Also, my friends and I do dumb shit all the time so AUs are how I validate them. LOL

[thespian-wallflower]

Read on for my Charlie and the Chocolate Factory adventure, 8/21/17 (spoilers)!

Ok so, like, I’m a HUGE fan of the original book. And I’m also a fan of both movies, though (unpopular opinion) I like Burton’s version better because it captures the overall spirit of the book. Neither movie does it perfectly, though, and I was super curious about how they would update the story for Broadway.

I’d packed drawings for Ben and Trista because I’d grown attached to both of them through their Instagram stories. And I wasn’t expecting Christian to be there because of Popcorn Falls. Buuuuut everyone was there. No understudies. Which was a pleasant surprise :D

The show:

The music was unbelievable. I teared up during the Candy Man (Borle’s voice was like velvet, but I’ll talk about him later). They kept the songs from the original film, and added a bunch of new ones, which were very refreshing and catchy. My favorites were, “It Must be Believed to Be Seen”, “Vidiots”, and “The View From Here” (and the sound quality for the end of IMBBTBS had me FLOORED).

The show was surprisingly dark, even for Roald Dahl. I was prepared for the deaths of the kids (excluding Mike, and possibly Augustus? Though I’ve heard that he gets decapitated in the pipe. But I couldn’t tell), but they were still pretty shocking. Violet pops, and a shit ton of purple glop splashes from offstage. Veruca is torn to pieces by giant, red-eyed squirrels. It was kind of nightmare fuel? It was a bit funny, but maybe a bit too much. Even Dahl didn’t kill the kids off. They went home (mostly) unharmed.

I really liked the sets. They were simple, yet surprisingly effective. The Chocolate Room itself was what got the most criticism, but I really enjoyed it. It was glittery and pretty, and there were silhouettes on the walls that made the room seem much more full. The minimal sets brought more attention to the actors themselves (like the Invisible Trap room!), and they were so much fun.

All of the adult children were so funny, and I loved the original versions of their characters (though I felt like everyone but Mike needed much more dialogue, so they could seem more rotten). Ryan Sell was amazing as Charlie. The Oompa Loompas were pretty great, too, and so were the parents (I admire Ben Crawford’s ability to keep a straight face the whole time). The people who said that Borle is the only good actor are wrong. The whole cast is wonderful.

But Borle, oh my god, Borle. He was fantastic. Everything he did was so fucking funny. Being horrified by, and throwing, a rubber duck (a really funny reference to “The Lucky Duck”), acting pouty when everyone but Charlie is eliminated (that killed me), Mimicking Violet’s screeching, the way he giggled, the character voices he put on, the dry sense of humor, the unpredictable-yet-charismatic personality... everything was totally Wonka. He really made the character his own while staying true to Dahl’s vision. He is my new favorite version of this character.

The Stage Door:

I knew Christian wouldn’t be coming out, so I didn’t set myself up for disappointment (I have no right to be disappointed tho). However, I interacted briefly with a few of the cast members! Here are some highlights:

Ben Crawford (Mr. Salt): I gave him the drawing, and he said he would hang it on his dressing room wall, which was so nice of him. We took a picture and hugged!

F. Michael Haynie (Augustus Gloop): He asked me about my Over the Garden Wall shirt. Then we had a brief conversation about how out-of-place he feels when he goes to a convention and doesn’t recognize any of the characters being cosplayed. And he mentioned how many video games he plays. What an adorable nerd.

Emma Pfaeffle (Veruca Salt): I told her that she was my favorite of the kids (which was true), and she called me sweet. A picture was taken.

Mike Wartella (Mike Teavee): He complimented the blue stripe in my hair, and we took a picture (I didn’t hog him, because he’s my sister’s favorite, and she made something to give to him).

Trista Dollison (Violet Beauregarde): My dad struck up a conversation with her, because I guess he works with one of her old classmates? I gave her the drawing, and she was like, “This is fab!” and she gave me a hug! Then we took a picture, and she said to my sister and I, “We’re pretty much cousins!” (because of what my dad had told her). She was funny and sweet.

I’ll reblog with the photos if anyone wants to see them. Thanks for reading!

[shego1142]

I was tagged in this by @lightscavenger and I actually have the spoons to do it so here we go!

I think I’m gonna change things up a little tho, hope that’s okay but I’m using bullet points for accessibility (mostly my own but still)

Name: Kiki! It’s not my given name but I greatly prefer it, especially for Internet stuffs. Shego also works! Fun fact, Shego from Kim Possible was such a huge special interest of mine from like 6th grade to 9th grade (so from 12 years old to 15 years old) that kids at school would call me Shego. It started as kind of a bullying thing but I told everyone that only my friends could call me Shego and I am still called shego by my friends even after graduating high school!

Birthday: September 9th! So yea, 9/9! I also happen to have a birthday wish list if anyone wants to see it ^^;

Zodiac: Lets see, my Sun Sign is Virgo which is somewhat accurate? Then my Moon Sign is Piecies and my Rising is Scorpio, which I find extremely interesting for multiple reasons...

Height: 5 foot 8 inches! 172 centimetres apparently! I feel like I’m shrinking personally, and knowing my joint issues, I very well may be...

Hobbies: Uhh, is sleeping a hobby? Like seriously the main thing I do these days is sleep. :/ I guess Youtube is also a hobby, watching it at least, and Minecraft? I also read lots of fanfic!

Favourite Colours: Pink! Light pink especially, like the creamy carnation colour. Also light blue and deep mustard yellows! Also dusty oranges too... I like colours lol. I spent a large portion of my life hiding behind the colour black, hiding from my bullies who wore lots of pink, which made me hate colours in general, but now that I’m recovering from that colour has become an important part of my recovery.

Favourite Books: oh gosh I’m not great at picking favourites lol. Matilda by Roald Dahl has been a favourite of mine since I read it in first grade, I remember reading it in one go, in the living room, completely hyper-focused, ignoring/not hearing my parents AT ALL for the like four hours it took me to read the whole book. John Dies @ The End by David Wong is also a favourite of mine, there’s a not-so-good movie adaptation that I really don’t recommend but the book itself is really great imo, plus there’s a part of it that actually really helped me with some of my crippling existential anxiety. Also Amy is Autistic headcanon accepted The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton is a favourite of mine mostly for the fanfics that are out there, which the author hates lol ^^; It was an assigned book in middle school and I despised it because of that at first but then I gave it a re-read and I’ve loved it ever since Rosemary’s Baby by Ira Levin is one of my faves too, though it does have a lot of problematic stuff/product of its time sort of thing but the ending brings out the inner Quillermo Del Torro in me and what was meant to be horrifying seems way cuter than it was supposed to

Last Song I listened to: I’m listening to the full album I’m Wide Awake and It’s Morning by Bright Eyes because I’m on my Bright Eyes shit again. My favourite song on that album is Lua btw. Oh also I love Grace VanderWaal with all my heart and I highly recommend checking out her songs! Clay and I Don’t Know My Name are very #AutisticFeels

Last Movie I Watched: Wolf Children, it was wonderful! It’s a kind of ghibli style slice of life anime movie and I highly highly recommend it! It’s absolutely beautiful, the backgrounds looked so realistic and the story itself is really really good

Inspiration: Markiplier. Like, seriously Markiplier is who I go to when I need life advice 90% of the time. I love that he has built a community based around helping others and that is incredibly inspirational to me, and aligns with many of the things I want to do with my life. My Grandma is also a huge inspiration to me simply in how kind she is. Honestly a large part of my inspiration in general is just “humans being kind”

URL Meaning: Oh Gods, my URL’s meaning is ridiculous: Okay so listen when I was like 8 or 9 or so I LOVED Spy Kids, so much so that I was trying to come up with a numerical code to write in, so I was signing up to Nickelodeon dot com back when that was a thing (favourite game was the wild thronberrys animal rescue so shout out that that game) anyway I wanted my username to be Carmen and Juni but that was too long and I wanted to “Be a spy” so number code right? So I had it as Carmen 1 = A 11 = N (using the previous 1) 4= D 2 = ALSO and then basically I gave the fuck up so it was Carmen1142 and then when I was obsessed with shego I used the numbers and that’s how I got shego1142, it’s basically lost its already confusing meaning at this point lol Though, fun fact, my neopets username was l_is_my_b_luvs_jam_H so there’s also that (It was meant to be L is my bitch B loves jam, Haku)

So that’s it!! Uhm I guess I tag @theawkwardqueeen @mythicallyrhink @ship-it-as-you-will @winters-rose @musicalaisha and anyone else! ((I swear there are more peeps I’d like to tag but my brain is bad))

getting to know you meme

I was tagged by the excellent @villainny!

One/Name:  I’ll happily answer to either E or enemy.  :D

Two/Birthday:  I refuse to answer on the grounds that I may incriminate myself?  I’m not much for being the center of attention.

Three/Zodiac:  Capricorn.  Memes always seem to say that makes me some kind of competent, practical person.  The mind boggles.

Four/Height:  Somewhere in the 5′9 range.  I’m not being cagey this time, I just haven’t been competently measured in an age!

Five/Hobbies:  Reading fanfic, novels, articles, blogs; writing occasionally; playing odd indie games, or sometimes more mainstream ones if prodded; DMing the world’s smallest D&D campaign.

Six/Favorite Colors:  Green, gray, cool colors in general, brown, black.

Seven/Favorite Books:  Gosh.  I’ll say the works of CJ Cherryh, Martha Wells, and Maureen McHugh come to mind.  But how in the world can I pick?

Eight/Last Song I Listened To:  I’ve got “Dog Days Are Over” by Florence and the Machine playing right now!

Nine/Last Movie Watched:  The heartbreaking El lugar sin límites.  (Content notes:  homophobia, transphobia, sexual violence, other violence, orientalism, cultural appropriation, plain old emotional devastation.  But I’m not sorry I watched it.)

Ten/Inspiration:  I think the thing gives me more ideas than anything else is when something is almost what I want, but not quite.  The combination of “yes, like that” and “but what if–” gets my brain working like nothing else.

Eleven/Meaning of URL:  I’m a terrible perfectionist, and it gets in the way of so many things.  It’s a reminder to myself to try and focus not on avoiding mistakes, but on finding and creating things that are good.

I tag… @redical-admin, @amovingtarget, @3453241342, @stunt-muppet, @lightscavenger, @livenudebigfoot, and anyone else who would like to play!

[paradisefovnd]

what is something everyone should know about your muses before interacting?

multimuse ask meme accepting

i told vicky to send this to me again bc i’m a dumb and didn’t understand it the first time

ruth balakov  - she is SUPER high energy. if you interact with ruth, expect her to be just short of bouncing off the walls. also, she’s super random, so don’t be surprised if she just rambles on and on about all kinds of random shit

samir chaudhry - this guy may seem immature, but he’s actually very thoughtful and considerate

tutankhamun “tut” mcmullen  - he’s emotional. look up “emo” and there will be a pic of tut. however, he’ll try and hide it if he thinks that his emotions will hurt the other person (well, that’s if he cares about them. if he doesn’t, then he’ll let it all out) 

jughead jones - he’s a little shit. he’s also not the dark and brooding jughead from riverdale. i cannot stress that enough. my jughead is asexual, loves burgers more than life, and doesn’t say shit that sounds like a young chuck palahniuk. instead, he’s more like roald dahl minus a dash of the whimsy

melody valentine - again, she is NOT riverdale based. that’s honestly the most important thing about her and jughead. my melody is sunshine in a person and sings everything she says with the occasional bit of cryptic wisdom

mark darcy - basically, he’s a modern mr. darcy. something to know about him and my portrayal is that i’m probably not going to write him with a lot of people. most of the muse i have for him is when i’m writing him against bridget, and i can’t really change that. he’s deeply in love with her, and ??

choi han-kyul - this kid is the grandson of the chairwoman of a company so like he’s hella rich, and he takes it for granted at first. but then, he’s put in charge of running a coffee shop, and he matures a lot through the process. however, he doesn’t lose his playfulness. he’s honestly one of my favorites, and if anyone ever wanted to write with him, i would be beyond happy. 

dr. noelle akopian - she’s a psychiatrist who’s done with ur shit

greg serrano - self-sabotaging but currently working on improving his life. in business school, used to be a bartender. recovering alcoholic. 

maya - she’s the most pure and pls don’t hurt her

valencia perez - used to be a yoga instructor, but is now an event coordinator. hella gay even tho the show doesn’t admit it. deserves to be appreciated. is working on improving her “mean girl” tendencies. the “mean girl” tendencies tho are partially bc she’s never really had female friends and she just...doesn’t know what to do? she’s actually an awkward bean, but her beauty prevents a lot of ppl from realizing it

johnny castle - soft. again, don’t hurt him. he’s a dance instructor at a resort, but he can work in a lot of different verses. you need a dancer? he’s there. he’s very serious about his craft, and is a genuine human being. he appreciates honesty. 

blair warner - she’s rich af and can be super conceited, but she knows how to have a good time and has a little bit of a devious streak. depending on the verse - is either in law school or a lawyer. intelligent altho ppl don’t expect it. 

jo polniaczek - looks tough, is a soft. don’t let her leather jacket and motorcycle fool you. jo polniaczek just wants a simple life and she wants people to be happy and respected. respect is big with her. 

emily gilmore - a socialite altho she prefers the term “philanthropist.” emily might seem “evil” to some people, but she has good intentions (in her mind). she only does things when she thinks they’re the “right” thing to do (at least, before the revival), but she also has a bit of a mischievous streak that’ll come along every now and then. her upbringing instilled certain lessons in her that she’s unlearning little by little. 

meredith quill - she loves classic rock, motown, her son, and the world. she’s one of those people who’s in love with life, and her enthusiasm is genuine. 

alice longbottom - she’s kind and altruistic. however, she’s not a pushover. my alice isn’t “soft” alice. she’s “u said something super ignorant and im gonna tell you why youre wrong” alice. gryffindor. 

arthur weasley - arthur wants to learn everything he can about the world around him. a bit of an absent-minded professor, even tho his mind is always turning. he just has so many thoughts happening all at once, he can tend to jump from subject to subject without connecting them sometimes. gryffindor (altho he was almost a ravenclaw)

victoire weasley - read this here

helga g. pataki - helga is someone who came from a bad situation and pretty much raised herself. most of her interactions will be after high school. my headcanon is that she finished school and got a scholarship to ivy league and after that, she went to law school at another ivy. she hopes to be the first female president one day. she’s aggressive, but deep down, she cares a lot. 

effie trinket - seems like an airhead, but effie is smarter than you think. she grew up in a society where certain things were expected so she fulfilled them. her upbringing was also extremely different in the sense that she was fed propaganda from a young age and never knew differently, but her experiences in district 12 (or other verse equivalents) have shown her that the world isn’t what she thought it was, and she’s learning what life actually is little by little 

katniss everdeen - i won’t write katniss a lot just bc it takes me into a place that’s harder to get out of, but my katniss is a sacrifice of her circumstances. she never wanted to be a revolutionary figure and never felt comfortable with her position in it even after the war was over. her “toughness” that people seem to see is just katniss trying to survive. survival is her driving aspect. 

jane villanueva - jane is a mama who is also an incredible writer whose first book is in the process of being published. she writes romance novels so essentially she’s just like us! she likes having a plan for everything, and her family is number ONE in her life

michael cordero a detective. is also a major nerd. thinks he could be a comedian, but he’s not actually that funny. like maybe if you have a certain sense of humor. he lives with a certain code of ethics, however, they might get bent at points if he thinks it’s for the best of the situation. 

rogelio de la vega - telenovela actor. if your character met him on the street, they might not know him if they haven’t watched telenovelas, but he will assume that they know who he is and that he’s famous. SUPER dramatic. don’t be alarmed.  

elle woods - amazing lawyer, loves the color pink, member of delta nu. in my version, i take pieces from the movie and musical. for my elle, vivienne was the one who told her to come back to the case (like in the musical), but at the end, elle doesn’t propose to emmett. instead, she and vivienne start dating and fall in love and get married 

ryan atwood - he came from not a great family, and then he got adopted by this uber rich fam in the oc (orange county, california). he’s navigating his new life, and grappling with who exactly he is and what his place is in the world. just know that he’s deeply loyal and cares a lot about people

pam beesly - receptionist at dunder-mifflin paper company. insecure, but is slowly coming out of her shell. is an artist and outlawed at chili’s. is a huge dork, but also adorable. 

fitzwilliam darcy - super rich bc he inherited everything from his parents after they died. they died when he was young, so he was thrust into responsibility at an early age which is part of why he is the way he is. seems stuck-up (and kind of is), but he just doesn’t care of societal expectations of friendliness even though he gets caught in what society expects when it pertains to manners, etc. is his sister’s guardian, and she means more to him than anything else in the world

jane bennet - pure, the sweetest. the oldest sister of five. in modern verses, i have her as a preschool teacher

queen clarisse renaldi - queen of genovia. a literal queen. tries to be diplomatic. expects people to do as she tells them bc she’s a queen. has dealt with some shit in her life - her husband died, her SON died. tries to stay optimistic.
