#idk what the ship name is I’m workshopping it yet

[jocelynships]

Just sketches for now but yeah. This is becoming a full fledged thing and I’m severely unwell about it

[tetzoro]

qimir lore. NOW. 🤲

what is star wars!aims like.... how do you meet....what is the tension like....how does it culminate....what's the ship name.... all questions that must be answered, stat !!! (pretty please <3 luv u and hope u have been well ! tehe)

ADA MY BELOVED !!! oh im so happy you asked :’) ! i’ve been thinking about this so much and im afraid the answer is long so . apologies hehe. as for the ship name, im still workshopping it i fear !!

okay a little bit about me first. in a sense, i’m a grey jedi but uhh . idk if that’ll last with him around tbh lmfao. i’m proficient in my force abilities and im still narrowing down which specialties i want. my lightsaber is purple ofc bc the users that wield it tend to balance good & evil which fits the vibe here. and yeah !! let’s get into it. i’m putting the rest of the stuff below bc it’s long and well, a little spoilers about his backstory. so BEWARE !

i end up as a youngling in coruscant hehe. i grow up with qimir, we train together to become jedi’s and we both struggle with it immensely as we get a little older. he struggles with his own personal convictions about the jedi order and i struggle to let go of my emotions — mostly circulating around him. the pull i’ve felt towards him ever since we met was strong and as a jedi, you have to cut all your attachments down. i’m not sure how much he outwardly returned my affection, but he definitely felt something. this will be important later hehe

he eventually leaves (abandoning me bye) and well, this is where i struggle even more on my path to the light side. because now im angry, devastated, and i can’t let go no matter how much meditation and training the jedi put me under.

i haven’t decided 100% what i do yet. part of me wants to defect and look for him but the other part wants to stay with the jedi because if he’s alive, they’ll be the most resourceful in finding him. i dont have time to make a decision though because i go on a mission with my master and we run into him. i dont know its him at first though because he wears a mask and i cant see into his head.

he’s incredibly powerful. we all get into it and start fighting. he’s able to hold his own against both of us. i’m able to get his mask off and when we lock eyes i completely falter, as does my master because he also knew him from before. he takes the opportunity to strike the guy down (rip) so now its the both of us.

i’m angry. after all this time he’s finally standing before me. i see how far he’s gone and i can’t help but want to chase after him, but i try to keep myself on the light side. ofc he senses my inner turmoil and tries to feed into it. it makes me snap and i attack him. but the whole time im also yelling about how i felt and yada yada. he’s just deflecting my attacks bc they’re uncoordinated since im so lost in emotion and i end up just stopping LOL. he doesn’t actively attack me the whole time, mayhaps bc… he never wanted to hurt me … mhm mhm

i tell him i would’ve gone with him when he left. (which catches him off guard) so he asks me now and im like … kay (down bad). but tbh i already had mixed feelings about the jedi order and i knew after this little event, they wouldn’t take me back.

SO THATS THE ORIGIN BYE THIS IS SO LONG. i’m not sure where i will take it from here. it’s canon divergent sooo it kinda depends on where the show goes if they keep making more. if not then… we just live happily ever after ig & become evil <3

[freddiefiction]

hey :) first of all how are you doing lately dear? hope you're well! I wanted to ask if you could write some fluff for the kid au, maybe khaleel and something related to school idk I don't really have a proper prompt lol 😭 thanks in advance <3

Part 51 of Jimercury Kid Series

Khaleel turned the piece of paper awkwardly in his hands, wondering if this was really a good idea. He knew how dramatic his Baba could be; he had cried buckets during his end of year performance of The Nutcracker and when Khaleel had received his letter of acceptance from the Royal Ballet School, Freddie had it framed and mounted on the wall of the lounge to show off to his guests whenever they were holding a soiree.

Perhaps he should hold off from telling him just yet. He didn’t want a huge fuss.

He hung about in the doorway of Jim’s workshop, watching his father put the last finishing touches to a little birdhouse they were planning to set up on the lawn; Phoebe had recently found a family of robins living in the rosebush and thought they could use somewhere safer to live, what with the cats prowling about day and night. Freddie being the animal lover he was, assigned Jim the task of making them a comfortable little home to keep them safe until the chicks were old enough to leave the nest. Khaleel couldn’t help but smile; his parents really were the most compassionate people he knew.

He waited a moment before knocking on the doorframe. ‘Dad?’

Jim paused in sanding down the wood, turning around as he pulled his goggles up to rest on his forehead. ‘Oh, hello, you. Need something?’

‘Just wanted to talk.’ Khaleel wandered into the room, glancing at Jim’s many finished and unfinished projects littered about on each surface; a little carved mahogany cat he was planning to gift Mary for her birthday, a few end tables that Freddie had requested for the lounge and a half finished cradle he intended to ship over to Ireland for his eldest niece, who was expecting her first baby. A few of his creations were concealed under white sheets, clearly intended to be a surprise.

‘Anything wrong?’ Jim asked, removing his gloves, and leaning back against the workbench.

‘No.’ His son replied, though he didn’t sound certain. ‘It’s just…I found this on my desk this morning.’ He held out the piece of paper for Jim to take, cheeks going pink as two brown eyes studied the writing thoughtfully.

‘Roses are red, violets are blue. Sugar is sweet, and so are you. Love from D.’ Jim’s mouth curled into an amused smile. ‘Isn’t that lovely? Any idea who this “D” person is?’

‘There’s only one person in my class whose name begins with D.’ Khaleel shifted on his feet awkwardly. ‘Denise Maddox.’

‘I think Denise has a little crush on you.’

Khaleel chuckled. ‘Yeah, Dad, I figured.’

‘And how do you feel about her?’

Khaleel’s smile fell, and he looked down at his feet. ‘I’m not really sure. She’s…nice, I suppose. I haven’t really spoken to her properly, but I sometimes see her watching me during our ballet lessons. She says I’m the best dancer in the class.’ He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. ‘Maybe I like her a little bit…’

‘Ah, young love.’ Jim tittered, reaching over to ruffle Khaleel’s hair when he pouted. ‘I’m only teasing you, Bijou. It’s perfectly normal to have crushes at your age. If you really like Denise, you should try talking to her, strike up a friendship. And if you decide you want to be a bit more than friends…maybe you can take her on a little date.’

‘What kind of date?’

‘You could go for a walk by the river or take her to the pictures. You could even bring her over here and have a little picnic in the garden. But be sure to take things slowly. You’re far too young to be worried about romance. Just focus on being friends for now.’

Khaleel took a moment to process this information. He nibbled a bit of loose skin at the corner of his lip, glad that Freddie wasn’t there to scold him for it. ‘What do you think Baba will say?’

‘I think he’ll be over the moon to know his little boy has found himself a girlfriend.’ Said Jim with a wink. ‘I wouldn’t be surprised if he started planning your wedding immediately.’

‘Ugh.’ Khaleel pretended to dry heave. ‘Please forget I ever said anything.’

‘I know your Baba can overdo it sometimes, but he means well. He only wants what’s best for you.’

‘Yeah, I know.’ The boy scuffed a shoe against the floor, smiling despite himself as he thought about his theatrical father. ‘Thanks for the chat, Dad. I feel a bit better now.’

‘Any time, pet.’ Jim replied, returning the note and slipping his goggles back on. ‘Was there anything else you wanted to talk about?’ When the boy shook his head, the Irishman turned back to his workbench. ‘I’ll give you a shout when dinner is ready. And remember – homework first, Game Boy later.’

‘Yeah, yeah.’ Khaleel rolled his eyes fondly and stepped out of the workshop, closing the door behind him. He took a moment to glance down at the note again, his chest going tight as he re-read the words before folding it back up and stuffing it into his pocket.

He was being honest with Jim when he said that talking about it had made him feel better. But it hadn’t eased his anxiety completely. He liked to think his parents would understand, that they would never judge him, no matter who he might have a crush on. But knowing what his Baba was like, how overprotective he could be, it made him wonder if it was really a good idea telling him the truth about his not-so-secret admirer.

“D” didn’t stand for Denise. Denise Maddox did exist – she was two years above him and he only knew her name because her younger sister was in his class.

“D” stood for Dylan.

AHHHHH please getting people interested in it is all my life is about lately hahahaha it’s a sports manga about soccer! Kind of!!

It’s such a cool manga!!!

Anon said: I don't even like BNHA anymore, haven't for more than a year, but your blog still has me shipping the characters somehow. I live for your KiriBaku content (and your KamiJirou stuff, when you post it!)

Gosh, I’m glad I can make you like them still!! It’s such a compliment, honestly ;A; <3

Anon said: so i was looking through your art and stuff and was wondering "hey i wonder if theyve ever drawn voltron stuff" and tbh, i didnt expect you to have

To be fair, if you checked it means that at least a little you thought it was possible lol I haven’t watched anything past s1 of it though, so the chances of me ever picking it up again are less than zero

Anon said: You... are one of the loves of my life... and also the main reason I check tumblr everyday lol.

Anon!!! You’re gonna make me blush here!!!!! ;;;; thank you so much!

Anon said: i started reading bluelock because of u and now im obsessed soooo,,,,, thanks!❤️😭

Anon said: Hii, do you have a Spotify account? If you do, can you share it? I really like the songs u use on your arts, and I would love to see your Playlists Sorry if it's already on your FAQ, I didn't find it And sorry for my bad English ps. I LOVE YOUR KIRIBAKU ARTS THANK YOU

I don’t! I listen to all my music from youtube, because I’m that kind of person lmao happy to hear we share music tastes, though! And thank you so much!!! <3

Anon said: What's your favorite arc of ToG both story wise and art wise?

SCREAMS I don’t know!!!! I’ve been thinking about this ask since getting it I have genuinely zero clue I love all arcs so much for so many different reasons!!!!! The first that comes to mind when I think about it is the workshop battle arc, because I love Viole with everything I have and the whole arc (plus the build up to it too!!) hurts in the most wonderful way, but then I keep thinking about it and I realize there’s so many character I live for that don’t appear in it - I love the floor of death arc SO MUCH cause for one, there’s nearly all my favorite characters in it, and also because it’s such a good, dynamic arc?? everything that happens is so much fun and interesting?? also Hockney is there, and Urek is there, and Garam is there, and the Hell Train gang is all there, so!! AH and the hell train as a whole is so damn good (the dallar show???? my whole soul rests in there, Khun’s trust in Bam!! the coin flip with rachel!! Bam’s whole everything!!!!!!!! GAH) but my fav part of it has to be the hidden floor?? because!!!!!! it’s perfect from start to end, everyone in it is wonderful, Bam’s growth in it!!! GODS! My favorite scene in the whole webtoon is in the hidden floor arc, it’s how much I love it - THEN THERE’S YAMA and the whole arc there is so so SO good too, and the latest arc!! how good is the latest arc!!!!!

so yeah I can’t pick - art wise I think it goes without saying that SIU’s art has only gotten better, so the closest to the newest update you go the more I like the art.... though, my favorite Bam is still the short haired one from the Hell Train arc haha

Anon said: Oh, wow, how stupid of me. Like 2 months ago, I sent you a message telling you how much I loved your work... and I didn’t see it on your page, or anywhere else. Finally today, I discovered I had an inbox where you answered me... 🤦‍♀️... I still love your work, by the way...

AHHH yeah I always answer off-anon asks privately! And thank you so much for still liking my things!!

Anon said: Have you read the last haikyuu chapter? How did you feel about it?

I’ve reread it at least twenty times and then I went and reread the whole of the last game again and it’s been three weeks and I’m still thinking about it more or less constantly and feeling giddy happy about everything that manga has ended up being, genuinely one of the best manga I’ve ever had the pleasure of following till the very end - that’s how I feel about it <3

Anon said: I really like looking at your art it’s so therapeutic it’s wonderful please keep drawing I want to support you on Kofi and patreon and yet I am broke please just know I love u very much ok bye

Ahhhh it’s okay anon! I try to keep as little completely unavailable for my followers as I can, and I’ll do my best to keep drawing! Can’t promise the fandoms will always be stuff you care about though haha

Anon said: This is my FAVORITE art blog. Is blog even a word that ppl use anymore?? Idk but anyways your kiribaku gives me life and cures my depression so ily and thank u

Anon said: just now realizing your oc looks like the human version of kamakiri

To be fair the only thing they have in common is the green mohawk, but I get where you’re coming from! I was very happy when Kamakiri’s official colors came out exactly cause he makes me think about my boy, after all xD my love for Kamakiri is definitely biased, in that sense haha

Anon said: Just wanted to let u know im very gay for ur oc giulia that is all thanks

Anon I’m gonna cry I’m so glad you like her!!!!!!!!!! She’s one of my oldest OCs out of that group, it’s always so thrilling to know people like her ;A; <3

Anon said: I really like how you draw kirishima’s hair

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!! I have a lot of fun with it, though it does mean it ends up being kinda off canon more often than not haha

Anon said: hi! just a random question but how’d you come up with your name?

Fran is my name! Erid comes from Eridan from homestuck! Art is what I try to do! And that’s the incredibly interesting story behind my screen name haha

Anon said: Heya, so i sent the ask about the person who i suspect either heavily referenced or traced your art (i sent another ask about this tho im not sure if it went through) anyway, it was posted by ****************** you'll know it when you see it i think

Ahhhhhh sorry for how long this took me to answer, I went to check and it’s!!! fine, I mean, would have preferred if they had credited but I don’t think it was completely traced so I don’t mind too much, I used to copy art of people I liked too back when I was first starting, after all haha

[madeofsplinters]

for the symbols ask, would you mind all of them that you havent yet done for vader? you have very good opinions on him and i would like to hear them

Aw, thank you! Although man that is A LOT of Vader headcanons left to do :D But I like writing random stuff about him, soooo... Sad:

Vader still remembers all the Jedi younglings' names.

Angry/Violent:

I mean, what in Darth Vader's life *isn't* angry/violent? Lol. The particular way that he uses the Dark Side produces a really fucked up feedback loop: he's angry and in various forms of pain all the time, which produces an energy he can channel into violence, which produces self-hate and further pain, which produces more energy. Lather, rinse, repeat.

A lot of Palpatine's work with Vader is simply about managing this loop and adjusting as necessary. Giving him enough outlets for his rage that he doesn't just combust where he stands and start breaking things he isn't supposed to; tormenting him enough, and giving him the tools to self-torment, so that it never quite subsides into peace.

This isn't the only way of using the Dark Side, but it's a common one for Sith warriors; both Maul and Kylo Ren use something similar.

Sex:

Disabled people can, too have sex - it just takes a little more creativity. Vader has plenty of creativity, as well as magic super powers. If he doesn't indulge in such things - which, honestly, in canon he probably doesn't - then it's due to psychological factors: a conservative upbringing and ascetic lifestyle, unresolved grief for his wife, self-hate, depression, not wanting to let anyone in that close, etc.

Anyways if I see one more "BuT hIs DiCk DoEsN't WoRk" post here on Tumblr dot com, as if that body part is all that sex boils down to, I may actually scream.

Living Quarters:

When he's meditating in his stupid lava fortress, Vader senses the Dark Side nexus underneath him as if it's a living being, a kind of elemental lava spirit. Sometimes he talks to it in his head. (Is it "really talking" back to him? Is he just carrying out a strange symbolic drama in his own head? Don't ask - if you don't intuitively understand how a spiritual experience can be both these things at once, then you're not on Darth Vader's level.)

His favorite thing about the lava river is that it isn't Palpatine. Vader of all people knows how destructive lava is, but lava is direct and straightforward. It doesn't lie to him. It doesn't play games on purpose just to jerk him around. It just flows on and burns what's in its path, and there are days when Vader finds that both relatable and soothing.

Romantic:

Vader has a weakness for partners who are older than him, brave, smart, outwardly stable (the insides may vary), have a cute accent and strong negotiation and leadership skills, feed him attention in measured amounts, and are convinced they know better than him about everything. Padmé and Tarkin (and Obi-Wan, for that matter) all fit this type...

Friendship:

I mean, Vader doesn't really have friends, though. He is capable of forming really intense attachments to a few specific people, and tolerating others because of their competence, but anything in between those ends of the spectrum? Doesn't really compute. Vader does not chill or hang out or make pleasant conversation, not a lot of room for friends here.

Even as Anakin, he was a little like this. It was harder to tell, because his social circle was a lot bigger then - there were way more people in the "would die for them" circle, and way more who he went out of his way to be nice to, even if they weren't exactly close. But all of these social relationships involve some kind of power relation. Anakin has masters and fellow generals and an apprentice; he has favorite loyal troops and a favorite droid; he has a Supreme Chancellor who is being very nice to him for some reason. These are all people he works with, or who want something from him; he doesn't really have anyone he hangs out with just for the sake of hanging out with them. Padmé is the closest he gets to that, and even with her, he’s acting out a romantic role in the way that he thinks is expected of him so that he’ll deserve her love. (And doing a bad job of it, because Anakin is awkward, but never mind.)

Anakin has a huge heart and many attachments, don't get me wrong. But I don't think he's ever fully grasped the idea of a social connection that doesn't revolve around one of the people involved being useful to the other.

Quirks/Hobbies:

(I already did a “workshop/tinkering” one, so here’s a “flying” one...)

Vader's special experimental prototype TIE fighter is in constant need of repairs because of how recklessly he flies. It's not even that he crashes into things - it's just wear and tear because you're not actually supposed to yank the throttle that hard every damn time you turn the ship, Lord Vader, seriously how are you not passing out from those g-forces.

Vader is genuinely confused why the techs keep complaining. Podracers are used to having to rebuild their entire pod after every race. By that standard, he's doing great.

Childhood:

Tiny little bb Anakin wasn't actually any angrier than normal, at least by the standards of traumatized child slaves. Like, he was about at par. There were plenty of angrier ones. You couldn't have looked at him, in comparison to the other child slaves doing similar jobs in Mos Espa, and said "oh yeah that one in particular is gonna have anger and attachment issues."

He did stand out from the other kids, though, on account of just being a weird little nerd. He built a whole droid and a racing pod by himself and his master didn't even make him do it! He keeps talking about how he's going to be a Jedi and fly all around the galaxy and save the planet and marry a queen, when everybody knows there are at least three good reasons why that's wrong. He thinks random customers who come into his shop are his new friends! Anakin is just... weird. Off in his own little world. The other local slave kids know not to be too mean to him because he will always help you out in a pinch, and he is really good with machines, but other than that, I dunno, would you wanna hang out with Mr. I’m Gonna Be A Special Jedi?

Shmi sees this dynamic happening, but there's not much she can do, except to give Anakin all the love and reassurance that she wishes he was getting from his peers.

Cooking/Food:

Idk the Wookieepedia says that Vader can eat nutrient paste out of a straw in his mask if he wants to, but he doesn't want to because it tastes awful. So my questions here are (a) considering everything else they have to do, how can the suit's recesses possibly fit enough nutrient paste inside them for Vader's needs, and (b) seriously we're how many years in the future and we can't even make a nutrient paste that tastes good? We haven't even hit on "bland"? For the Emperor's chief enforcer, whose personal care budget is virtually unlimited? Yeah no, I'm calling canon error on this one. He can't eat, or it's too much trouble to get food into him with the other life support, so he's tube-fed. That's my headcanon.

Appearance:

Vader is very muscular. (This isn't really a "head"canon? He's literally played by a bodybuilder? But some fans disagree, so, eh.) He was already tall and strong when he was Anakin, but the suit adds height and it adds a LOT of extra weight that he has to be able to carry around with him literally every time he moves.

His recovery process after Revenge of the Sith involved having to learn how to move again, with new prosthetic limbs and horrifying new chronic injuries, basically from the ground up, and having to do it well enough that he could sword-fight Jedi Masters to the death, and he had to put on a ton of muscle in order to do that.

Palpatine was very strict in the nutrition and exercise regimes he imposed for this purpose. I have a sneaking suspicion that steroids were also involved.

ELLADINE SARABI

IG info/bio: @/ellasardineabi | 18.5k followers | Artist | i was born with glass bones and paper skin♡

25 years old

Born & raised in Cardiff, Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Father was in the n*vy and moved his family around a few times until he and his wife came to a agreement that it would be best for the family to grow up in one solid place

whereas he would leave for months at a time living elsewhere

Which was hard on the family at times since he is viewed as the rock of the family

He eventually left the n*vy after serving 20 years & was so thankful to, he hated it and how it messed with him mentally

He’s also of Iranian heritage

Her mother is of German heritage

Has her own restaurant that serves authentic German food

Both of her parents instilled hard work, discipline, generosity, and how to be practical in their children

Elladine is the middle child

Has a brother that is ten years older than her and then a younger sister who is seven years behind her

Canon: there is currently a discussion going on if they are going to bring their (maternal) nan/mam-gu home since the nursing home isn’t providing the proper care their nan needs

Her mother has a rocky relationship with her mother that she doesn’t like to discuss with her children but her husband knows all about it

Her nan has Alzheimer's and is becoming violent

it has become difficult seeing her most days

Elladine came into glassblowing after being involved in many classes in secondary such as workshop class

which became her fav since she was able to manipulate many materials such as metal, wood, and glass

She also took a auto body class which was interesting but she wasn’t too thrilled about it. Got away with a B- but knew she could do better if she really wanted to but she didn’t need the class to graduate so allow it

Currently works in a glass studio where her work is displayed/sold and she’s one of the main ones that makes great profit

has bought her own space for her own studio and is slowly making it to her liking with her assistant, yes she’s got one!

Hopes to be in that space within the next 6 months...it would have been a little sooner if we weren’t dealing with a global p*ndemic!!! but ya know life f*cking sucks sometimes!!!1!!:) especially if people don’t gaf

Moved back in with her parents so that she could not only help with her nan but get her studio ready, her parents approved since she was working towards something and realized her talent

I definitely see elladine going through a grunge phase and it probably still slips out every now and then lol

Her childhood room is still in shades of raspberry, gray, and a deep purple

always been plus-sized/fuller than the rest but it’s literally hereditary since her mom is built the same way who got it from her dad

Her family never made her feel ashamed as they shouldn’t and none of her true friends made her feel different since they were all of different sizes!!! besides who’s really friends with someone because of their bodies? Ur really ugly if that’s how u roll js

Always a respectful student and not too afraid to spark up a convo with you but can be a little nervous if the person is more of a “I have to warm up to you first” since she’ll feel like she’s annoying you if she carries the convo at first

Takes her time in relationships because she’s scared of getting hurt, cause breakups are not fun! Especially if theyre your friend on top of that

Although Friendship breakups are much worse let’s be honest here!!!

Has noticed that a few of her exes like to bring up that she’s controlling or too bossy in relationships and that makes her a little insecure since she doesn’t view it that way??

She knows what she wants and likes things a certain way, and she can see how it can kinda come off that way based on how she approaches/says things and tries to be better at toning it down and not being offensive to her significant others

Always has a plan and likes to follow it, she definitely keeps to-do lists on a daily

Takes trips to see Nicky often and vice-versa, every moment they spend together feels like it’s meant to be, even when it’s them just simply chilling in each other’s spaces, he’s truly one of her best friends and he feels like the missing part of her life

He offered for her to move in with him but elladine didn’t accept it since she wanted to be there to help with her nan and in fact—she wanted to be the one to ask HIM to move in with her

but if they make it long enough, they’ll go house hunting together...maybe

I get Shawn/Angela relationship vibes from them (boy meets world for those who aren’t aware of this couple and I’m not just saying this because they’re interracial as well lol) did I say this already about someone else? Brain fart lol

everyone relationship has their flaws so when they hit a bump in the road...elladine immediately wants to fix it but it comes off as more critiquing, moodiness/blaming the other

while Nicky can be defensive/argumentive/a little condescending on his end

To get through it, they normally go on a walk together in complete silence until they’re ready to speak again or they take a break from each other

I think words of affirmation is her love language

Taurus sun + Virgo moon + Capricorn rising?

“The girl on the motorcycle” is one of her fav films — no this is not metaphoric to her love life

Loves watching things with captions on since she always finds herself doing something else while watching anything (which irks Nicky a little bit but that’s just the way elladine is and he loves her so he deals with it)

Will rewind something if she missed it too

Canon: never had morning sex before

but can now say she has ;) & understands the pros people say about it and it outweighs the cons in her book

Will start the whole song over too if she missed her fav part in it

She also enjoys billiards since her brother used to work in a pool hall and when he had to watch her because she was “too young” in her words to stay home by herself he would take her there even tho technically she wasn’t supposed to be there but he was screwing his boss’s daughter so it was quite fine

her sister has a crush on Gary & ships elladine with him, which they joke about every now and then + he doesn’t follow her back, which is okay! Not a big deal but her sister keeps sliding in his dms (he’s now single)

She NEVER thought she would be on THE love island and wasn’t that confident that she’d find a real love that carried on outside of the show but Nicky has proven her wrong 🥲

She’s 5’5–5’6

Probably shops at Zara & top shop and has no issue picking pieces that flatter her “pear” figure, she loves all that is of her body: the pudge, love handles, cellulite and all (she’s very confident and won’t let anyone see her moments of doubt when it comes to her frame)

Loves mythology but will tell bill stfu if he comes near her trying to argue about anything in that subject

Very competitive and will rush through certain things, leaving one to think that she’ll fail somewhere but rarely does

If she’s not near or away from the mountains or the sea for long period of time she gets very moody!!! Guess that’s the Welsh in her huh?

Loves fireplaces, they’re super cozy and very romantic if you catch ella’s drift 😏

Probably smells like jasmine & pink pepper idk

Wants to travel to Iceland one day

Knows her way around a car but dreads having to get it fixed or fixing it herself?

Loves driving until her road rage kicks in? Oh you’re gonna go around her to get in front of her? Never that. She’ll always be in front of you and will break check you if you try her “Drewgi” she mutters

Early riser and goes to bed early too lol

She’s the crying drunk lmao

Automatically vieve has become one of her best friends from the villa but it deff didn’t feel forced like it normally would have just because their bfs have a podcast together, they talk about everything together. EVERYTHING! It feels like she’s the big sister she never had, yet they’re only a year apart lol

They have ft sleepovers and man is it fun!

Forgave lily but at the same time can’t fully see herself being friends with her like vieve tried to encourage before they went on the yacht...sorry everything can’t be Kumbaya over here sis

It sucks to say but it was easier? She doesn’t know if that’s the right term or not... for her to forgive rafi than it was lily and it’s fucked up but that’s the way it is. It’s not like she contacts him on seperate messages or anything like that! She’ll talk to him via group chat and that’s pretty much it. She knows it was all part of the show and production’s bs for ratings but that doesn’t mean it still didn’t hurt

Wishes him success on his shows/movies but doesn’t engage/watch them

What does she post? I feel like she posts maybe three times a month and a lot are outfit pics but tends to go live more so to chat with the people! She’ll also show all what glassblowing entails while chatting away! She loves that part and is pretty open about things but knows how to keep some things private

Personally wasn’t the biggest fan of season 1 but admits she wishes she had mc’s balls in terms of what she would have done if she was in elladine’s place when lily picked Nicky, “ugh! I wish I had her strength rising through my veins in that moment. Absolute riot. Adore her.”

‘“Licky” is a ugly ass ship name anyways so who’s really winning here?!’

Celeb crushes? Iwan Rheon, Henry Zaga, Anthony Welsh, jason derulo, & LaRoyce Hawkins

Listens to: soleima, Marisa Maino, Ava Max, poppy, Caroline polachek, Donny Hathaway, Phil Good, & SAINt JHN

athenais lemaire :0

athenaïs lemaire (he/they/she) is something between a protagonist and narrative focus from a novel i workshopped about a year ago (and am presently in the process of turning into an audio drama podcast with the help of some friends because i think it would function really well and best serve its purpose as a story in the audio and transcript format)

to summarize, his story is inspired by. a lot of things. i took inspiration from pre-existing works like the little prince, doctor who, interstellar, the never-ending story (sort of), porco rosso (i’ll.. i can explain), orlando (the movie and book), and howl’s moving castle (just a little bit. for the vibes)... as well as things that weren’t really stories at all, but which my brain sort of took off and ran with like the voyager mission(s), the existence of the old ‘methuselah’ tree, the 52 hz whale, roy’s monologue from blade runner, a sort of ethereal humming sound that gives me frission chills (idk what else to call it—it can be heard in the first 33 seconds of “relic” by reeder... but honestly the entire album this song is found on has inspired me a lot as well), the hesitant feeling we all get when we have something precious and we don’t want to Use and Enjoy it because we fear we’ll ruin it or use it all up (a blank and brand new sketchbook or a vinyl record, for example).. and a question someone asked me once, when i was like 15 years old, what i would do if i got one chance to go back in time and change something that i thought might make the world a better place.. to which i answered: the burning of the library of alexandria.

his story is about accepting things that are temporary, embracing loss, and learning to live with a unique and cosmic loneliness that none of us could possibly imagine.

(i’m putting the rest of this under a readmore cut because it... got very long and wordy fjdklsf)

the story ‘begins’ chronologically in 1780s enlightenment-era france with athenaïs lemaire and two of their friends who have built a time machine. they are essentially anti-elitist outcasts from the academic community who have a lot to prove so they’ve decided they’re going to use this time machine (which is, due to the nature of its components, not really built to last and is absolutely going to be a one-time trip) to go back in time and save the library of alexandria. the mission can only take one person. they draw lots and athenaïs gets the shortest stick. he knows it’ll be a very arduous mission to take on but in his mind it’s worth so much more than just himself so he’s willing to risk. just about everything. to see that the library of alexandria is saved.

i won’t get into details because i don’t really have certain things about the logistics re: granular historical details figured out yet—it was in lots of my workshop notes because i skipped over it entirely and i just know i need to do some more research to get things squared away before i write the episodes that will be spent delving into athenaïs’ backstory—but, in short, it works! the plan really does work. he’s able to salvage a wealth of documents and artifacts from the would-be-torched library alexandria. but time freezes and everything stops; the entire universe pauses as minerva/athena (she specifies that she does not really have a name, but that is the name the greeks and romans have given her) tells athenaïs she can’t let that information stay on earth. it wasn’t meant to survive into the coming era.

but she cuts a deal with him and really sweetens the pot—tells him she’ll give ‘his’ ship (which jkfld he stole or ‘borrowed’ from a roman merchant depending on how you want to phrase it) some generous enchantments: flying power? check. breathable atmosphere on deck and in the rigging? check. tardis logic cargo hold that can store an almost endless number of things like a museum of infinity? check... and she will grant him ‘immortality’—aka a lifespan of suspended age (to help him travel light years) that is so exceedingly long that he will no doubt witness the heat death of the universe - and though he can still certainly sustain injuries, even extreme and otherwise fatal wounds, he will heal from them given enough time and rest and this is. sort of his curse. think like. jack harkness from doctor who... and he will be granted these two things if he agrees to live in exile from earth and never return. if he wants to save all that knowledge and information, he has to take it elsewhere. he has to go share it with other alien cultures and maybe, along the way, help some space aliens defend their right to universal knowledge on their own home worlds (kind of borrowing from the little prince with the episodic planet-to-planet kind of structure). and so he does that. he does that alone for a really, really long time.

and then a stowaway finds their way onboard the novice.. and i have yet to give the stowaway a name but also wonder.. if they need one? i think they will canonically have a name that is just. secret. the stowaway sort of becomes athenaïs’ gateway into lots of complex emotions regarding his immortality, the responsibility of duty he manufactured for himself to basically be a space-traveling curator/archivist of sorts. he’s not used to having friends (let alone friends that are as close as family) after centuries of loneliness wherein his only company was the ship (which is absolutely alive, in a way) like. a large part of his character arc is unlearning the nihilism with regards to himself and his immortal body that he's adopted over the centuries. like, sure, he has motive and drive to go around collecting artifacts and such to share cultural knowledge with the people of the universe but he’s never had a crew to speak of before now.

and i’m currently getting a little emotional over a conversation i write the "alien cleric” (still no name yet because i am a fool with nonsensical priorities when writing things lmao) as having with him (in summary) like, "yeah, captain, you're going to outlive us. you're going to outlive all of us, but that shouldn't mean that you turn the crew away out of fear. you've got to accept that nothing lasts forever. in fact, some things don't last very long at all. you can't preserve everything. they're not artifacts you just have to learn how to get the most out of their company and their love while they're here with us, and keep them in your memory long after they're gone." they spend so much of their immortal life just trying to save things and keep them safe forever. and they're often a little reckless because he knows he only really has to 'worry' about the novice (because the ship can absolutely still be damaged) but once other people start figuring into the equation it's like. ok now hold on, i have to take care of myself? because it will hurt these people—who have formed a bonded attachment to me—to see me in pain? oh no. oh lord. oh fuck.

athenaïs has had a very lonely life! he’s sort of a sisyphean archetype character but becomes less alone over the course of his whole story via found family. thinking about it in depth, though, makes him very tempted to push crew members away (because.. ouch! he's getting attached), or put mental ultimatums on when he should tell them to think about leaving his crew because he doesn't want to see himself outlive them. he wants to save them like he saves artifacts and manuscripts & like he rescues them from being lost or damaged or aging. but you can't preserve your friends like artifacts, athy </3 i'm sorry mate. he feels a sense of responsibility for what he's doing and believes he needs to keep doing it because he made a promise to himself and also to the literal goddess who gave him an immortal life long enough to survive near-endless light years’ worth of travel, etc, etc.... but also hates how much of a curse it is.

like it really tears athenaïs up inside thinking about how the plan he and his colleagues came up with worked and he was so close to making that dream of a better world into a reality. feeling like he wasted a perfectly good once-in-a-lifetime trip into the past to fix something. and how he simultaneously feels such regret because nothing will have changed on earth, he didn't really save anything for humanity's future, he just took it with him. feeling like he did it all for nothing but sometimes being reminded that he can still share the things he's collected from alien worlds and documented to spread to other alien worlds & share with the rest of the universe and that actually he is helping. he just. sometimes forgets this. forgets that earth wasn't capital-e Everything, just a small world in a really big universe that he happened to come from and can never return to. hell, by the time the stowaway has found themself aboard the novice, it already contains far more alien textbooks and manuscripts and artifacts than it does earth-things.

also hi if you read all this... 🤍 i hope you’re having a really fantastic day right now. thanks for sticking with me, i’m thinking constantly about this story right now because i’m in the process of turning it into an audio drama with the help of some friends, as i said at the beginning of this post, and i just love talking about it. i’m sad i can’t provide spoilers for some big plot-relevant things that have to do with athy’s character and his development but i’ll keep them to myself because i definitely don’t want to ruin any surprises :’)

[panda-noosh]

Hi :) Idk if you still write to Voltron but if it's possible I'd love to see a Pidge x reader where Pidge meets her S/O at the end of the war. Pidge needs help to build a new thing that'll help Earth to heal and the Garrison put handles her that intesting person.

    This was too important of a job for Pidge to be distracted, and that was her first complaint.

   This arrangement was stupid. It was utterly senseless, considering Pidge had handled every other mechanism perfectly fine on her own - she didn’t need a second set of hands, didn’t need someone elses input when it came to the things she had been studying for almost her entire life.

    She told Shiro this on multiple occasions, but the man was paying her no attention whatsoever. He said she deserved the break, that some of the work would be put onto somebody elses shoulders so she could go about and have some time to herself - it almost made Pidge laugh.

   When had she ever needed a break? 

    She grumbled as she walked through the halls, arms folded over her chest and head ducked down. She was meeting her partner today, and it wasn’t anything she was excited for. Already she could feel her own hostility bubbling to the surface, and she was afraid that if she didn’t wind her neck in now, she was going to lose it the minute she opened the door. She just wanted to get a move on. She just wanted to dive in and start whatever project she had to start - Earth wasn’t going to heal itself. The people weren’t going to suddenly overcome their trauma after a few weeks. Pidge’s job was to help them, and yet here she was, stuck doing pointless business meetings that would have affected no one if cancelled.

   The doors of the ship slid open. Pidge took a deep breath in, settled her anger, stepped into the room-

   And saw you.

   Maybe that was the moment she shut down. She couldn’t really tell. As soon as her eyes met yours, the lines became blurred and things started clicking into place and Pidge didn’t realise she was grinning until you were awkwardly smiling back at her, lifting your hand in a tiny, shy wave that had Pidge’s heart fluttering all over again.

   She had seen you only a handful of times before, and neither of you had spoken during those times. Pidge would cast a glance in your direction, would try and catch your attention by doing the most Impressive Thing she could think of - but most of the time, you were much too absorbed in the work at hand to really pay Pidge that much attention, which was something she both resented and respected, all in the same breath.

    After the war, Pidge had always just assumed you’d gone back home to your family. She never would have thought in a million years that you’d want to continue with the work you’d started to help the war effort.

   And yet here you were, hands folded awkwardly in front of you as you waited for Pidge to say something, anything to get the conversation going.

    Pidge spluttered, trying to make her brain catch up with her mouth. “Y/N!”

   Your name. Your fucking name. She winced as soon as she said it, not surprised by the way your eyebrows furrowed together in confusion - Pidge had never asked your name before. The fact that she just came out and said it must have confused you to no ends.

    “I’m Pidge,” she said, trying to recover as quick as she could. “I heard we’ll be - uh - working together for the next few weeks.”

   You nodded. “It’s an honour on my part, Miss Gunderson-”

   “Oh god, please don’t call me that.”

    “S-sorry. Pidge. I’ve been a big fan of your work for a long time. A big fan of you and the other Paladins.”

   Pidge could barely hide her scowl at the mention of the other Paladins - she loved them like family, but when it came to you, she wanted your praise all to herself. 

    Nonetheless, she smiled. “I’m happy to hear that. I’m also a big fan of your work.”

   You frowned. “You know of my work?”

   “I know plenty about your work.” Pidge started towards the workshop, gesturing for you to follow her. You fell into step beside her, and Pidge had to physically stop herself from swooning over the scent of vanilla that came from your clothes. “I don’t know if you remember, but we were on the same ship together a few times. I never came up and introduced myself, but I saw you. You seem very passionate about this kind of thing.”

    You shrugged as if it was no big deal, as if contributing to the survival of planet Earth wasn’t anything to get worked up about.

   Pidge frowned, nudged you with her elbow. “I’m serious. You did some incredible stuff back there; stuff that was very important for the end result.” 

   You hollowed out your cheeks and looked away. Pidge could see you were growing nervous, but she felt the need to make sure you knew just how serious she was.

    “I don’t want to take any credit,” you replied. “The world would have gone to shambles if it hadn’t been for you and the Paladins - and Takashi, of course. What I managed to construct is a very small piece of the puzzle.”

    Pidge watched you. She watched the way your hands knotted in front of you as you spoke, watched the way you refused to look at her as you put your own hard work down for the sake of giving Pidge and her friends all of the credit.

   “Well, I don’t think that’s true at all.”

   Your head snapped round, startled. “What?”

   Pidge shrugged, stuffing her hands in her pockets. “I don’t think the Paladins and I should take all the credit. In fact, I don’t even think we should take half of the credit. The people working behind the scenes - people like you - were just as important to this as we were. We would have crumbled without you.” Pidge quickly caught herself. “Without people like you.”

    You swallowed thickly. Pidge watched your throat bob, watched you slowly turn away so you were looking at the approaching door. Neither of you said anything more as you shouldered open the entrance to the workshop and immediately headed into work, not casting Pidge a second glance.

   Pidge didn’t mind. At least, that’s what she tried to tell herself. There was an odd nagging in the back of her head, an odd urge to look over and check on you every few minutes. She was so used to getting lost in her work almost as soon as she got her hands on it, but you were a big enough distraction to rip her attention away from the task at hand, if for just a few seconds at a time.

    The two of you worked around each other for what felt like hours. Pidge’s hands were scratched and blistered by the time she finally slumped in her chair, packing in for the rest of the night. You had already applied four plasters onto your fingers when you slumped down next to her and groaned in a most out-of-character way.

   Pidge couldn’t help but grin, looking over at you. You were slouched on a bean bag, head tilted till it touched your shoulder, eyes closed. You looked utterly beautiful, ethereal. Pidge wanted to reach out and brush your hair away from your forehead, but instead opted for kicking her shoe into the side of your chair, very nearly tipping you over.

    “Go get some sleep,” she said. “You worked hard today.”

   You grumbled something incoherent.

   Pidge frowned, slowly sitting up. “Y/N, go to bed. We can finish this in the morning.”

    “A few more hours and it’ll be done,” you replied, eyes still closed. “Just give me another few hours.”

    Pidge rolled her eyes; she’d heard those words before, because they were the words she spoke almost every single time she had a project to complete; the idea of coming back in the morning was often too much for her to bare, so she needed to get everything done then and there.

   But hearing it from you, watching you try and lift your head up against the weight of your exhaustion - a protective side that Pidge hadn’t even realised was there slowly started showing it’s head, until Pidge was rising from her seat, wrapping her arms around your waist and swinging you up into her grip, bridal style.

   You yelped, eyes snapping open, hands winding around Pidge’s neck to stop you from falling. Pidge grinned down at you, holding you a little tighter.

    “Excuse me,” you hissed. “You look much too small to be able to do this.”

   Pidge winked. “You don’t become a Paladin without gaining a little bit of muscle in the process.”

    And that really was the start of something neither of you would have been able to predict.

would you mind sharing a little more about the mentor ship process? As in like, what you hope to get out of your experience and how you approached the author? I only ask because I’ve been super interested myself for a long time but had no idea where to even start )):

Of course! I mean, I’m in the very, very early stages, so idk how helpful any of this will be. 

I’m very lucky; I know a creative producer who works with the organisation I’m trying to get a grant through. She’s the wife of one of my former teachers; I wouldn’t say she knows me very well, but my town is pretty limited in terms of young artists so she remembers me. She sent me a Facebook message and said that she heard that I’d been struggling with moving forward with any of my projects and she wants to meet up with me to chat about some options I might be interested in.

So, terrified and sweaty, I sit at this little bakery waiting for her. I have no idea what she’s going to talk to me about. I had this feeling I was going to walk away more lost and less motivated than before.

So, she tells me about her job, what she does, who she helps, what she knows. She explained the place she works for has applications for grants twice a year for people under the age of 26. And fucking bombards me with all this information.

She offered the suggestion of a mentorship and I fucking sparked. I had no idea it was even an option. I was even like ‘idk who to ask’ and she was like ‘ask literally any author. the sky is the limit.’. A lot of authors have done mentorships before, so there are probably a heap out there that would be interested.

I raced home and googled Australian authors. I want to do a temporary residency with this author and moving outside of Australia seems so ridiculous. Anyway, didn’t find any names that I recognised. Nor any authors that wrote in my genre (YA is super niche in Australia). I was pretty bummed out. I started sifting through author’s names on my bookshelf - skipped passed the big names - and got to Jodi McAlister’s name. Her Valentine series was something I’d read like six months prior and a story that I really enjoyed. And Yahtzee. She’s Australian, she writes YA and I already fucking own two of her books. On top of that she’s a professor. I feel like I’ll learn a lot from her.

I’ve almost finished the email. It’s hefty. 800 words. Man, I hope she says yes.

So yeah, I need to win the fellowship first. But if I do, I want to work with this author for a few months, which might mean moving temporarily, write the first three chapters of my novel and the synopsis under her guidance.

As for you. Depending on your situation there’s a few different places you can start.

Do you need support and funding during your mentorship?

Google art organisations in your area/state/country.

Read about their eligibility and requirements.

Look at what they offer in terms of grants.

Register for mailing lists for writing groups and businesses and keep up-to-date with opportunities they’re offering.

Go to workshops and start meeting people in the industry, get your name out there, make friends with people who are interested in the same things you are.

Build a CV and portfolio.

Apply.

Finding the mentor 

Write a list of authors you’d like to work with. People you absolutely admire and people who have a similar style to you or authors that have similar characters as you.

Google a list of authors in your genre who accept mentorships and add them to your list.

Email them.

(ps: i would assume they want to be paid for being a mentor. but i haven’t gotten to those questions yet. so if you’re not going to apply for a grant, think about the $$ too)

The email

Tell them who you are and why you’re emailing them.

Tell them your situation (are you working and have limited hours? are you applying for a grant?)

What’s the plan? (how long? what are you writing? how much are you writing under their guidance?)

What do you want to gain from this mentorship?

Why did you choose this author?

Send it the fuck away.

The worst they can say is no.

Idk if any of this helped, but good luck! I hope you find the right mentor and write your butt off!

[aworldoffandoms]

Thank u so much for answering my questionss!!!!😍😘♥️☺

And here comes another 2 questions😂 sorry....

1. whats your backstory on sienna elijah jackie bryce raf aurora and kyra? Like whom do they get married to /stay in relationship with do they have kids and the fellowships they took? And places the settle? Do nic and ethan meet them again after they move out of boston?

2. How do u want the i love you to go in canon???

Ship names : nicolan,namsey, nithan,valesey,valehan, nican,nicon😂, nian, vathan etc... u can use the ship name generator on Google if u want☺

You are welcome, anon! And, I'm going to answer more! Even though it's been ages since I got this ask...I'm gonna do it for you right now! 🥰 Beware...this is reaaaallly long so I'm going to include a 'keep reading' cut. Hope you enjoy!

1. So, what happens to the OH gang after Edenbrook? Hmmm...

So, Sienna...I see her staying at Edenbrook and specialising in pediatric internal medicine (or swapping to pediatrics) as that's all she's been doing in OH3 and I definitely see her working with kids as she's mostly happy with them. She finds a sweet volunteer at the hospital who worships the ground she walks on (and who's at least a foot taller than her). They both hit it off over a mutual love of animals and baking (he's a pastry chef) and after a few years of dating, they get married, move to the outskirts of Boston, settle down, have a daughter and then two twin boys (she follows Nicolette in having twins) and then another daughter. Sienna then becomes a top pediatric attending who furthers her education and quickly becomes Deputy Head of Internal Medicine for Children at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Elijah: He goes full time into research and lands a fellowship with the top research hospital in the US- the Mayo Clinic -and a few years after that, he becomes a full-fledged attending, in internal medicine but with a particular focus on his personal condition and to see if he can modify it to help others like him. His results are so successful that he leads the research in finding other conditions that have a better chance at being found in-utero.

Bryce: He stays at Edenbrook until the end of his residency and becomes Cheif Resident while completing it and then gets a prestigious surgical fellowship to John Hopkins and he does his fellowship there and specialises in General Surgery. I see him working at John Hopkins for a few years, get's married to a cute fellow Hawaiian girl (who's a psychiatrist as they met at JH) and then they both decide to move back to Boston when Bryce gets the prestigious position of Head of Surgery. His wife pops out a few kinds and then they both decide that they want to go back to Hawaii and so they do and that's where they stay to raise their kids and continue their careers.

Kyra: Hmm...considering we haven't seen her all of OH3 and PB wiped their hands of her, my headcanon says that she travels the world for a few years (she's still in remission), eventually finds a nice lass in England whom she finds hilarious and can call her out on the smallest things (which she freaking adores) and can keep up with her adventurous spirit so she decides to stay in England, get's a job at an accounting firm. She and her girlfriend live in London for a few years before they both decide to get married and live a few miles outside of London (probably somewhere quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Burmingham, maybe? idk lol). Kyra visits the States on occasion and when she does she always makes sure to see Nicolette but she has dual citizenship and she travels to and from either country when she can. She can never miss seeing all her nieces and nephews!

Jackie: I see Jackie staying at Edenbrook even after her boards and she becomes the best in her field and she becomes the best teacher around for the young interns that grace the atrium of Edenbrook. She ends up meeting and falling in love with an old girlfriend from her home town and she moves to the suburbs with her (as her girlfriend is an artist) and commutes to work each day just so her significant other has the freedom to do her art in her own workshop that Jackie found when they were looking for a house to buy. She still keeps in touch with Jade and she always sees Nicolette and Sienna twice every two months. I see Jackie adopting some kids from her home country that she absolutely adores. She becomes Head of Diagnostics at Edenbrook after Nicolette moves away with Ethan.

Raf: Well...in my head, I see Raf ultimately staying at Edenbrook for a few more years until he decides that he's helped as many people as he can (go on a new adventure) and decides to take the Marauders up on their offer of being their full-time physiotherapist. He enjoys the games and the comradery of the team and he makes some good friends. He's with the team for two years before he meets a Brazilian woman who sets his heart aflame (the team set them up on a blind date) and they instantly connect over their shared interests (both being in the same profession). They both hit it off. After two years of dating, they get married, have three kids, move to Boston (near Raf's Abuela) and settle down while having their own t business while raising their kids.

Aurora: I see her passing her boards, doing a fellowship at the most prestigious and top teaching hospital in the world (all with her own talent and knowledge). She becomes the top internal medicine attending at her hospital (idk which one yet haha) and when she finally finishes her fellowship and is an attending for a few years she moves back to Boston and wants to start a family of her own and decides to adopt. She finds an orphaned Nigerian girl and immediately falls in love with her. She settles into her life with her, buys Ethan's old apartment (for a reduced price of course - mates rates and all that haha). Aurora isn't looking for a relationship per se until she meets an old college buddy (even if she hated college lol) and they hit it off and start dating. Aurora's girlfriend instantly falls in love with Aurora's daughter and that's when Aurora knows that she's a keeper. As a couple, they adopt one or two more. Aurora becomes Cheif of Medicine at Edenbrook and her kids follow in her footsteps. Aurora definitely makes sure she makes time for them. That's the most important thing - family and friends. Aurora sees Nicolette from time to time but, they are both so busy in their respective careers that they only see each other once or twice a year if that but they still text. Ethan and Nicolette definitely see the OH gang from time to time (Nicolette can't go without texting them at least once a week or month to check up on them). After the third cancellation from one of the friends, Nicolette puts her foot down and demands that they all meet up at the restaurant where they had their 'roomie dinner' and they all catch each other up with what's happening in each of their lives. Ethan tags along become he's basically part of the gang lol. ***

2. How do I want the ILY to go? Hmm... I don't really...know considering the next chapter is the last. I don't want it to just be out of the blue just because it's finishing. PB has had plenty of time to drop the ILY bomb but they never did and it was a wasted opportunity. I don't want it to be just because the MC is leaving. I want it to be genuine and full of feeling but with PB's track record and mediocre writing as of late, I don't know what to expect right now haha. Oooh! Those are all good ship names but I'll see the ship-name google generator and see what it comes up with haha. Thank you! Pheww...that's it! Thanks for this ask anon! I had fun using my brain 😂 I probably repeat myself but I just spat this out in an hour so yeah lol. Hope you enjoyed it!
