#keely (oou)

[rvieskie]

keely (oou) headcanons because shes an underrated queen

- she’s an only child and her parents always spoiled her a lot, but despite that she grew up pretty independent.

- shes really good with kids and volunteers at support groups for children with disabilities. usually, she reads them stories (or tells them stories) or braids their hair and they all love her.

- she was actually a really good student in elementary school (classic child of immigrants overachiever) but quickly learned that other things are important too and that her parents would love her no matter what. she pretty much burned out in middle school but her grades still remained a lot better than the likes of cooper or luis.

- shes a great cook and always makes food for her friends and family to express her appreciation. 

- she also always has a packet or bar of people’s favourite candy on her when she goes to meet them, she started doing it casually but it became a habit. (this is totally and completely not based off one throwaway line in oouil when keely gave cooper his favourite candy). 

- she’s dating addy, but she doesn’t feel the need to address her sexuality. she kind of just casually throws out “my girlfriend” in conversations, and when people ask about it, she just shrugs and continues the conversation.

- even after she left her original friend group, she maintained a good enough relationship with most of them (excluding vanessa). 

- she forgives quite easily but rarely forgets.

Hey! What are your OOU couples wedding headcanons? 😍 (ilysm queen xoxo)

phoebe and knox

their wedding is the biggest and fanciest of the bayview crew's wedding

curtesy of melissa lawton ofc

they get married right out of college and no one can convince me otherwise

the first ones to get married

they just spent a lot of time not being together because of outside influences and now they just want to spend the rest of their lives together

all of phoebe + knox's family is there

plus the santoses, the bayview crew, ash & eli, and nonny

knox asks owen to be his best man and it makes phoebe cry for like three days straight

maeve is maid of honor

phoebe struggles with picking the wedding party because she should chose emma as maid of honor but maeve is her best friend and she was there for phoebe when no one else (other than knox) was

emma is actually the one who says phoebe should ask maeve

maeve throws herself into wedding planning

she and melissa are a force to be reckoned with

they're married in knox's back yard

phoebe chooses to wear a replica of her mother's dress but she asks ashton to help her sew on lace detail to make it her own

addy does phoebe's hair and keely does her makeup

phoebe plans on walking down the aisle by herself but as she's getting ready she realizes she doesn't actually want to be by herself

before she puts on her dress she hunts down cooper and pulls him aside

"it's okay if you don't want to, but you were there for me at a time when i really needed support. would you maybe want to walk down the aisle with me?"

cooper can't answer for a few minutes because he's full on sobbing

of course he says yes, and phoebe is so happy she thought to ask him

there's a lot of crying at the wedding because phoebe looks so beautiful and happy and knox looks so happy and they're just so in love

cooper and kris

they have a small wedding after kris graduates from medical school

it's at contigo

the restaurant is closed for the day

it's a small guest list: the bayview crew, nonny and lucas, kris's immediate family and friends, the santos family, and ash & eli

it's less of a wedding and more of a party since cooper and kris decided to just go to a courthouse a few days earlier

they all take turns telling stories about cooper and kris (obviously addy and keely's idea)

addy and phoebe baked the cake themselves

and luis learned how to cook some of kris's favorite dishes from germany over facetime with kris's mom

there's a lot of laughter and good food, which is exactly what coop and kris always wanted

addy and keely

they don't have a wedding

they wake up one day, decide to get married, get married, and then plan a joint facetime with their family/friends to tell them

phoebe and maeve take it upon themselves to throw a surprise party for the girls

they bake so many desserts and buy cute pastel pink decorations

luis and ash do all the cooking

they throw the party in kris and cooper's apartment

keely and addy love it so much

bronwyn and nate

bronwyn's parents plan most of the wedding since bron was busy finishing law school and nate became a partner in myers construction

it's held in the rojas' back yard

maeve is maid of honor and knox is best man

addy and phoebe are bridesmaids too

bronwyn wears a gorgeous dress that her grandmother made for her

nate's vows are in spanish

keely has to run interference with bronwyn's makeup because she's crying so hard at the vows

(i like to believe that nate went to mr rojas for help with his vows)

maeve puts together a slideshow of pictures of the couple instead of her speech, and the last picture is one that ellen took of them when they were little and still attending st. pius together

they print and frame the picture, and it lives on a shelf in their living room

maeve and luis

i kind of feel like maeve and luis don't get married for a while

maeve is a spanish teacher and luis is opening a restaurant so they don't have a lot of money for things like a wedding

luis proposes the night that the restaurant opens (yes this is @glitterandgoldrush's headcanon and i'm in love with it)

they just get married at a courthouse

but they have a potluck dinner that night with friends and family

it's everything they ever wanted

[natewynoou]

how would the oou characters react to getting sick cus i can js see cooper like 'eh its not that bad' and kris like 'its 1pm. and your eyes are still watery and you sneeze after ever sentence dont sit here and tell me youre not sick'

OMG That scénario is so cute!! I can definitely imagine cooper and kris acting like that!

I think for the others it’s definitely a “I’m not sick” “yes you are” situation aswell.

For Maeve and Luis, Maeve is definitely the stubborn one, but you know that Maeve is sick whenever she gets REALLY clingy, especially with Luis. Maeve will never admit she is sick, even if her head is in the toilet after she has just been sick, but she will always be wrapped up in her duvet, soup in one hand, tissues in the other. With Luis holding her.

When Luis gets sick, he would definitely stay st home, and not let Maeve near him, because he doesn’t want her to catch his sickness bug. However, in the end Maeve wins him over with her mom’s special soup recipe.

For Nate and Bronwyn, they very much take care of eachother. Initially, Nate has no clue what to do when bronwyn gets sick, but after the first few times, he’s pretty much on the ball. Warm oat milk, hot water bottle, and those gummy pain killers. He makes sure her hair is held back whenever she is sick. He knows what movies she likes to watch. And no matter what, he doesn’t leave her side.

Both Bronwyn and Nate don’t outwardly admit they’re not sick, but they will both go about their day pretending they’re fine. When Nate gets sick, Bronwyn turns into his personal doctor. Nate loves taking care of her, but he hates Bronwyn fussing over him. Typical really. But, like him, she never leaves his side.

With Addy and Keely, they both straight up admit they’re sick. It’s the female intuition of knowing you’re gonna fall ill. They’ll text one another, and 20 minutes later a care package is at the other’s door. I don’t think they’d be the kind of couple that initially stays with each other through the sickness, but they would call and text constantly, and be in touch with their parents. But because of the care packages, they know they’re loved.

I’m genuinely not too sure about Knox and Phoebe, but if @izzielizzie or @glitterandgoldrush have any ideas, please let me know!

[glitterandgoldrush]

Keely Williams-Reyes is so cute I'm in love 🥺

i know!!! when @izzielizzie suggested it i was literally like omg…it’s perfect.

[fleursincarnation]

oou characters + mooncake

These are the mooncakes I think match the essence of the oou characters (are they the mooncakes that they would enjoy most? maybe, maybe not, maybe that's another post)

There's so many characters so I won't be giving an explanation I think I'm just going to use my feelings, but if you want an explanation for any specific one lmk! (also @ooustan because you said you were the target audience for this 😂)

Lotus paste: Bronwyn, Cooper, Knox

Snowskin: Addy, Phoebe, Luis

Red bean paste: Nate

Green Tea: Maeve, Kris

Fruit: Keely

[izzielizzie]

the oou characters go into a store to get one thing. what do they get distracted with and buy?

omg i love this so much

phoebe: definitely a cute necklace. phoebe is a necklace girlie through and through

knox: pretzels. it's canon that knox is always hungry and i feel like he'd just get a lot of joy out of a bag of fancy pretzels

maeve: highlighters!!! maeve loves to annotate books so she always keeps a pack of highlighters on her

luis: toy cars for his younger brothers (and for himself)

kris: baseball caps since he spends so much time watching baseball

cooper: red vines, of course

bronwyn: cute journals. bronwyn is definitely someone who journals religiously

nate: movie posters

addy: sprinkles, but the ones in fun shapes that she can put on the things that she bakes

keely: earrings. like phoebe she loves jewelry, and she's got at least three piercings on each ear

[natewynoou]

"the bayview 4 switch roles/stereotypes" what secrets do do think they'd be keeping in oouil?

Okay so! I feel like the secrets would be similar-ish for the stereotypes, but the characters would have their own twist.

Like Nate, being the nerd, would’ve cheated on a test, but his reason was to keep his scholarship, and not got Yale.

Bronwyn’s secret as an athlete would be that she did take a performance enhancing drug, and that would be the truth. It would’ve been in freshman year, and it was the only time, but it did happen.

Cooper’s secret as the Prince would probably be about him cheating on Keely, but I don’t think they would out him.

Addy’s would probably be dealing drugs, but I feel like I’m her world it would be because of her mom forcing her to get more money, because we all know how bad her mum was in the books. I feel like in this world she would’ve fallen hard once the divorce hit, and Addy had to defend for herself.

Thanks for the ask! Please keep them coming! I’m currently trying to figure out which Maisie Peters songs fit OOU characters, and it so much harder than I thought!

[natewynoou]

what do you think the oou characters favorite songs/colors are?

Addy: ABCDEFU Gayle, and Purple!

Cooper: Honey, I'm Good, Andy Grammer. Green

Bronwyn: In Between, Gracie Abrams. Blue

Nate: Knee Socks, Arctic Monkeys. Red

Maeve: Wendy, Maisie Peters. Black

Luis: If I Can't Have You, Yvonne Elliman (Definitely a secret 70s/80s lover) Orange

Knox: Outnumbered, Dermot Kennedy. Green

Phoebe: Girl at Home, Taylor Swift. Pink

Keely: Jealousy, Jealousy, Olivia Roderigo. Specifically pastel yellow. Sunshine energy.

Kris: Abba. That's it. All ABBA. It would be a CRIME for me to pick one. And Blue!

[maeverojaskinnie]

I’ve seen people talk about the heights of the oou characters, and I respectfully disagree with all of them. Here’s what I think their heights would actually be :

Addy - 5”1

Bronwyn - 5”6

Cooper - 5”9//5”10 (he’s a short but not so short king, change my mind)

Nate - 6”0

Kris - 6”1

Maeve - 5”4

Phoebe - 5”2

Knox - 5”9 (he’s also a short king)

Luis - 6”2

Bonus characters:-

Ashton - 5”9//5”10

Eli - 5”7 (the shortest king)

Keely - 5”3

Olivia - 5”10

[maeverojaskinnie]

how do you imagine oou character's life in 10 years?

oooh ok this is actually a really good question, let me think....

Addy: Ad's gives me the impression of someone who loves travel, so maybe she'd be exploring the world with Keely. Her whole teenage years were spent trapped being someone she isn't so she'd be trying to find herself outside of the constraints of Bayview.

Bronwyn: Girlie had a ten year plan set out already, but I'm not sure whether it was fully described?? I imagine she'd either be a partner at a law firm or maybe helping Eli, already engaged and planning some elaborate wedding and with the house of her dreams. She definitely has her life together though

Cooper: A big name in The NBL doing some baseball-y stuff (I'm British I have no clue about these things). Already married to Kris with a bunch of Dogs living in a Nice house, but not flashy bcs he's down to earth. (he probably gives loads of money away to charity and is a well known philanthropist) He'd have also bought Nonny her own house next door.

Nate: I see him doing construction, maybe he has his own business or works with Knox's dad in a high up position?? He's engaged to Bronwyn and that's all I can really think of right now haha....

Maeve: Karen hinted that Maeve would move to Paris with Luis, so I'm guessing they'd still be there? idk I've always pictured her doing some tech-y computer based things bcs that's where her skills lie in the books. I feel like her and Luis would be living in a little quaint apartment, probs not married yet bcs they're not in a rush and enjoying one another's company.

Knox: I might get some hate for this but him and Phoebe are probably broken up.... (I only think this bcs they didn't really have a lot of development and it all felt very rushed and surface level). I'm not really sure what he'd do though, maybe he's a teacher?? He gives a really warm, teacher impression, maybe in drama or English.

Phoebe: Her family probably moved away from Bayview, so I would think she'd be near them?? Maybe in like LA or something so that she can still see everyone, but she doesn't really associate with the town bcs of her experiences there. I'm not really sure what she would do though bcs Karen didn't really develop her character.

Luis: Owns a restaurant in Paris, maybe trying to get a Michelin star???

Kris: He's a fancy doctor with loads of degrees and masters under his belt. He'd be cooper's rock through all the famous athlete stress, and is probably the glue that holds their friendship group together lets be honest. So yeah, he's disgustingly educated and successful and is an overall angel :)

Thank you so much for the ask!! Sorry that Phoebe, Nate, and Luis are kinda bare I just don't know a lot about their characters tbh :(

[izzielizzie]

Hi Izzie ❤️ I don't know if you have the time to write this but do you have any headcanons or a one shot about Addy and Nate's b-day party? I think Karen mentioned on Twitter that they celebrate their birthdays together

hiiiiii ❤ yes! i'm writing nate and addy's joint birthday party in my maeve/luis series since march is their anniversary month as well, so i'll do headcanons for now

the entire thing is thought up, planned, and executed by Addy and Bronwyn

they assign everyone a job

Luis is in charge of food

Knox takes care of the music

Phoebe decorates

Cooper sets up games

Addy insists that Kris has to get alcohol since he’s the only one of age but he refuses and instead he decorates with Phoebe

(Kris and Phoebe become best friends this is a fact)

Keely bakes the cake

Maeve’s only job is making sure that Nate actually shows up

partially because making sure Nate shows up means Maeve too will show up and also Maeve sucks at planning parties

Nate resists this party very much

he’s not a party person but Bronwyn begs him so he comes

they have it in Bronwyn and Maeve’s backyard

Phoebe strung up fairy lights and crepe paper in pink and purple and Kris helped her blow up a bunch of balloons

Cooper comes up with the corniest games just to annoy Nate

Nate plays every single one because he can’t help but adore the happy grin on Bronwyn’s face

(he also wins all of them but no one talks about that because Cooper refuses to accept that he lost)

Addy spends half the time spinning around her fancy dress

Cooper and Kris make a point to dance with her every five minutes so they can spin her around because her giggles are adorable

Nate doesn’t want to open all the presents but Addy insists

Addy cries when she reads every card

Bronwyn, and Keely compile every picture of Nate and Addy they can find for a slideshow and honestly they’re both crying by the end (even though Nate insists he wasn’t)

Keely almost drops the cake and it’s hilarious

Addy and Nate fight over who blows out the candles 

the fight lasts for like ten minutes while Luis and Keely point out that they’re getting wax in the cake

Cooper’s like “please we are not children SHARE”

Addy’s crying when they sing “Happy Birthday”

she spends the entire party trying to get Nate to hug her

there are multiple videos on multiple peoples’ phones of Nate being chased by Addy in her fancy dress

finally he relents and Addy gets Maeve to take a picture and she frames it

everyone has so much fun and Nate is actually almost crying at the end because he’s never had someone do this for him

[izzielizzie]

Keely [surname unknown]

his girlfriend, keely, is one of my best friends, and the kind of girl who does everything right
