#litg Winona

[starsarestars]

Kefalonia, Greece, is Love Island’s new homestead. A sprawling blue and white Villa sprawls a patch of land adjacent to a craggy mountain view, gnarled trees covered in fairy lights twinkling by the entrance where patterned tiles lead to a pair of heaving double doors. Outside are flower beds, neatly pruned hedges that frame paths. There’s a homely, welcoming vibe to it rather than a party pad fit for a lads trip to Mallorca. In the early hours of the morning, town locals come in their pairs to clean the mess the inhabitants of the Villa had made the night before. They neaten up strewn loungers, fluff up throw pillows and brush away glittering debris to set a scene for the soon to be viewers. A buzzy radio plays Grecian Kitscherella, and Naomi and Winona hold court with staff in the kitchen. Winona’s Greek is surprisingly fluent and her English interpretation is determined and fast, eager to include Naomi in the conversation. There’s the odd moment of shiftiness where Naomi isn’t quite sure she’s saying the whole truth, bolstered by a tense exchange with a moustachioed man by the name of Mikelis. Winona will scrawl something down into her notebook with a dutiful nod, and then she’ll avert to Naomi.

“Mikelis says we’ve got to go up on the Roof Terrace, apparently there’s a surprise.” Winona says this with an emphatic wiggle of her eyebrows. Naomi chortles.

“Do you reckon we’ll need to get ready?” Naomi queries.

“Considering they got on our case for not having a full face on after the slime thing yesterday? Most likely.”

“They sure are setting a totally realistic standard, aren’t they?” Naomi groans with a roll of her eyes, pinching the bridge of her nose.

A foray into the abbaverse and a shamelessly self indulgent fic that asks the question - what would happen if two OCs were to be in the same Villa? The lovely Naomi and the majority of the premise is based off of the fantastic Lay All Your Love On Me.

🌴Introducing: Winona🌴

Full Name: Winona Chukwu-Wright

Age: 24 | Birth Date: 7 April 1995

Occupation: Teaching Assistant at a Primary School

From: Ychydig Unman, Wales

Reason for joining Love Island: “I’m here for a load of reasons — to make friends, have some fun, maybe even find the right person. Obviously I have to be realistic, but it would be nice. I haven’t really dated much, there’s been a few boyfriends and girlfriends here and there, but I spent a lot of time studying or working so it never really got as serious as I would have wanted it to be. I think now’s the time for me to try all the things I didn’t get to back then. It’s scary and to be honest I’m really nervous, but I always say that it’s the trying that counts. Even if it doesn’t pan out, there’s so many native birds in Mallorca and I’ve been making a note of all the ones I see, so that in itself has been massive! Like the Eleanora’s Falcon, I saw a juvenile one as I was— Should I stop here? Okay, great!”

If your MC is built like this you’ve got a high tolerance for Gary Rennell’s bullshit

Some HCs I have for Terrence, Artemis and Florian because I’m low-key sorta debating on having a ficlet dedicated to their exploits on the job??? Yeah N E waze:

Terrence’s nickname for Florian is “Vicky” because of his surname and also because he’s been mistaken as a girl by the cleaners at the building for so mf long that he thinks it’s hilarious. When Artemis first joins the group she’s confused as hell because there’s no other girl there but Terrence has to clarify while Florian titters to himself.

And on the note of Artemis joining the group - She was a great big bundle of nerves because she’s been a massive fan of Florian’s work, has a copy of every single peer review he’s done and frequents as many of his conferences as she possibly can. It’s probably the scariest day of her life and it isn’t made any better by the fact that a lot of the people in the building are like “ugh she’s so lucky imagine getting to look at those two all day.” But the first thing she sees when she walks into the room is Florian being pushed around on an office chair he’s been sellotaped to by Terrence (who’s got a pair of elf ears on.) and she just knows she’s got her work cut out for her because they’re either taking the piss or having these really deep conversations that she’s too literal to get into.

T: Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

A:The egg. The chicken’s in it.

F:I’m not sure that’s how it works-

A: what else is in the egg then?!

Terrence really fucking loves Oingo Boingo and more often than not you’ll hear him humming along to Dead Man’s Party while looking at some really sick ossified bones. He’s the quietest out of the three of them (With Artie being the loudest because she has a tendency to yell because her hearing is fucked from being around loads of loud machinery, more often than not you’ll hear “I’M SORRY, WHAT WAS THAT MUNCHKIN?!” From their office at least ten times a day.) and the cutest thing about him is he’s got this little lunchbox with dinosaurs on that he’s had since he was in Nursery and he’s very hesitant to give up on it for something more mature. The others aren’t exactly pressuring him into it either - Artie still uses her bagpuss purse that she’s had since she was 9 and Florian eats fairy bread for lunch.

Artemis has a fluffy white cat named Barbarella and she spoils her rotten to the point Terrence gets genuinely envious of the meals that Artie makes for her LMFAO (“POACHED SALMON??? FOR A CAT??? She’s eating better than I am!”) and whenever Florian goes over to her flat for dinner (👀 is that what we’re calling it now?) he’s glued to the couch cuddling her and will not stop doting on her. It gets to a point where he looks into plants that are toxic to cats and goes out of his way to avoid handling them on days he visits and he always makes sure to get her loads of treats. He wasn’t even a cat person but for Barbarella he’ll make an exception. He’s got a framed picture of her on his desk (but doesn’t have one of his girlfriend 😐)

Florian always pulls all nighters and stays in the office to make sure work’s done which is very bad because they’ll walk in the next day and he’ll be conked out under his desk mumbling about Rosary peas. They have to lure him out with toast and even then he’ll be grumpy for the whole day and then apologises the next because he knows he’s not himself when he’s cranky. He stops doing it when he moves into Artie’s flat because she’d get really worried about him and it’s kind of novel to him because he’s so used to living alone and not having anybody caring in that way and there was this one time where before they’d even started dating he was pulling an all nighter during absolutely atrocious weather, Artemis had a phone call with Terrence and who offhandedly mentioned it and she was so rattled by it she threw her coat on and drove all the way to the office to knock some sense into him and give him a ride home.

Terrence really loves really trashy Mills and Boon novels and will unabashedly read them during his breaks - He’s always heard audibly gasping at some parts and when asked he’ll be like “This seductive and rich financier is actually a pirate with a thing for pillaging chests of a different kind!”

You’d think that the backstory for Florian’s face scar would be really sick and unique but basically when he was a kid he scratched his face on a gnarly ass thorn while looking at a plant. He used to be really self conscious about it but Terrence was like “bro that’s fucking SICK!” And he’s loved it ever since. One of his favourite hobbies is making up increasingly tragic and dramatic backstories about it whenever people ask.

I was so inspired by everyone’s LITG OC western tag that I decided to do a few of them myself! From left to right: Winona (Henrik), Eloise (Carl) and Teresa (Marisol)
