It happened again I had another dream about you 😭 this time it was only you for some reason. And I'm finally home so I can tell you about it

First of all you were really short?? Like chin level hight, and you didn't look like Andrew Garfield this time. But you did have this straight chin length bob that was bleached. I hate how clearly I can remember it 😭😭

I think you were coming down to Australia, and I was going to meet you. But you immediately stole ALL my friends. I can't actually remember anything that happened after. Only you stealing my friends 😔

STOP I'm only 5'6😔😔 Also this is so fucking funny why am I blonde in all of your dreams stop this madness.

sorry I stole ur whole friend group💔💔

sorry if you've heard this before, but the other day I was in a 'debate' about female only spaces with a guy that came up in discussion out of nowhere, and I almost backed down because I started to feel intimidated when he changed his tone, I'm 5'6 and he's 6'3, and we were alone in his car. I almost wound up holding my tongue, but even though I did kind of cut the discussion short instead of properly holding my ground and making my point, I hope you know that the reason I didn't back down entirely was because I thought 'would menalez do that?' idk for a fact if you would or not tbh, but idk you're always so level-headed and well-spoken, I only know you through a blog but I admire the way you seem like you would stand tall, proud and firm irl, I aspire to have that kind of natural boldness and thinking of you helped me to plant my feet a bit more than I normally would have

awwww you’re so sweet 😭 i probably would’ve done the same as you: cut the convo short but stood my ground, something like “we can agree to disagree / i still disagree, but let’s move on” or “ummm i don’t think so but if u say so lol” or “i disagree but im sick of this convo”, sth like that. keep urself safe anon!!! it’s great that u stood ur ground but ultimately men often don’t listen to women despite how well-spoken we are and how well-sourced and backed up our arguments are, + they’re often condescending as hell and misogynistic during the convo, so i generally don’t bother with them.

Doyles, 1-5

going to assume this means the doyle siblings only, though i know i could do it for maggie & mike if i wanted to 😭

for ✨sadie✨ (technically the oldest doyle sibling, by five minutes)

how does your OC feel about their full name?

sadie lou doyle loves being called sadie lou, thank you very much! it's the most southern name in the world, which is hilarious, given she's an irish kid from one of the most northern places in the continental u.s. but it's her name, and she thinks it's pretty. her dad gave it to her, and she's so much like her dad 🥺

2. what do strangers notice about them first?

definitely how tall she is! sadie is supposed to be 5'10," which is striking compared to the 5'3" girl she's always hanging around with. they also make judgments about her height when she stands next to daniel, who is supposed to be 5'6". we hate people who make judgments about tall wives and short husbands.

3. how does their social personality differ from how they act when they’re alone?

when she's alone, sadie is more likely to put her discomfort into words. she's not sharing them or anything, but she knows how to voice them. with other people, she doesn't think it's right for her to express her grief because she's always more worried about them than she is about herself. but when there's no one around, she can be completely honest. and it sucks -- because she'd love to be able to share it. she just doesn't think she can. she's wrong, though. she could share her problems with anyone who loves her.

4. how do they act around a crush?

sadie is the kind to get embarrassed around a crush. it's especially funny because her only real crush was daniel, and they've been friends since they were born. but once she figured out she liked him, it was like everything she did was humiliating. she'd just stand there and blush and wait for sweet death. poor sadie.

5. do they have a “tell” for when they’re lying?

she gets a little indignant. sadie's pretty good at keeping an even temper, but if she's mad about something, she definitely has guilt about something ... or there's something she's holding in. sadie is someone who lies by omission, primarily, so she boils until she bubbles over.

for ✨sam✨ (technically the middle doyle sibling, by five minutes)

how does your OC feel about their full name?

sam spade doyle thinks his name is really funny, honestly. he's absolutely nothing like the hardboiled detective he's named after. he wonders if his mom wanted him to be like that, but he's glad he's pretty much the opposite. he also likes that his full first name is just sam. the name samuel freaks him out. he can't explain why. he also doesn't like the word saturated or the non-taste of mayonnaise. maybe they're connected (i can't help but write sam's thought process ... he really is the lorelai gilmore of this verse.).

2. what do strangers notice about them first?

for many people, sam is the most handsome man they've seen in real life. i'm not giving that up. that's still true.

3. how does their social personality differ from how they act when they’re alone?

somewhat similar to his twin sister, sam allows himself to be honest about his fears when he's alone. he wants to be perceived as fun and adventurous when he's with his friends, but when it all comes together, he's just scared. he doesn't know what he's doing. his dreams are bigger than his resources. they're bigger than his wallet and his work ethic. he's smart with no particular place to go, and he's terrified. it's why he thinks he'll probably die before he's forty.

4. how do they act around a crush?

sam is a showboat. he just wants to entertain you. he always sang and danced in front of steph, both because he knew it would make her laugh and because he knew he was a good dancer. stealing the millennium falcon from kmart was his idea, actually, and he came up with it to impress will (which is so funny, because will is already impressed with sam's ... everything). he also came up with his song and dance distraction to impress will, which is also funny, because will was in charge of snatching the toy box. he never saw the dance.

5. do they have a “tell” for when they’re lying?

again like his twin sister, sam gets sullen when he's lying. like sadie, sam is typically lying by omission or lying to himself. he can't ever make himself believe it, though. sometimes, a line from an old book gets stuck in your head and clouds your characterizations for years to come.

for 😔charlie😔 (the youngest doyle by all measures)

how does your OC feel about their full name?

charles foster doyle loves his full name. it's really annoying and problematic. people tell him he should probably feel cursed, but he just doesn't. he wants to be as powerful as charles foster kane. he also doesn't want to put any of the work in.

2. what do strangers notice about them first?

how quiet he is compared to the people he's typically hanging around. charlie is an introvert surrounded by sadie (little miss "how can i help you?") and sam (the music man). he stands out even when he's trying to blend in with his surroundings. this, of course, goes to his head ... and he isn't even cognizant of it.

3. how does their social personality differ from how they act when they’re alone?

charlie is a lot cockier in his head than outside of it. he plays sheepish very well, but when he's alone, he genuinely thinks he is the greatest man who has ever existed. it serves his mother right for naming her son charles foster doyle. (i know it seems like i'm always slamming maggie, but she's not altogether a bad person or a bad mother ... she just has a hangup about one of her sons, which is really more a hangup about herself and how scared she was when she was giving birth to him -- charlie wasn't supposed to live, but he did).

4. how do they act around a crush?

he pretends like the crush doesn't exist, mostly because he, himself, remains oblivious to his feelings. but once he figures it out, he hangs back (even more than usual) and waits to see what will happen. he's lucky carrie makes the first move. no, this does not count elenore, on whom he makes the first move, because that is not a crush. that's something he did for attention when he felt like he wasn't getting enough of it from the other people in his life.

5. do they have a “tell” for when they’re lying?

if charlie seems outwardly confident, it means he's covering up something that anyone else would be ashamed of. he gets cocky when he's under pressure. hate him!
