#she'd go and talk to Zoë

[raphael-angele]

Nico is a Baby, Bianca is Alive (ft. Thalia)

Stargazing:

Nico: How about that one?

Thalia: Well, that one is the Cassiopeia. See how it's shaped like the letter W?

Nico: Oooh, look! That's the Big Dipper and the Small Dipper.

Bianca: Yeah. They are. Good eyes, Nico

Nico: What's that one?

Bianca:

Thalia: ... *looks at Bianca*

Bianca: That...is Zoë.

Nico: Like Bia and Thalia's friend!

Thalia: Yeah.

Nico: How come I never see Zoë anymore?

Bianca: She's uh...

Thalia: She went somewhere where she's really happy.

Nico: Really?

Thalia: Yeah.

Nico: Will I ever get to see her again?

Thalia: *looks at Bianca*

Bianca: No, Nico. She can't visit anymore.

Nico: Aww. I never got to say thank you

Thalia: Why did you want to say thank you?

Nico: Cuz she lets me see Bianca and Thalia even if they're Hunters of Artemis already. She takes care of you and protects you.

Thalia:

Bianca: Sorry, Nico. She can't come visit anymore.

Nico: Don't you miss her?

Bianca: Of course we do. Everyday.

Nico: So, why can't we just go to her instead?

Bianca:

Thalia: It doesn't work like that, Nico.

Nico: Well...why not?

Thalia: It's just not. She's... She's happy where she is.

Nico: Oh...

Bianca: *deep breath* Alright. Time for bed.

Nico: Awww :(

Bianca: C'mon. We can go again tomorrow night.

---

Bianca, sitting on the roof of the Hades Cabin:

Thalia, finding her: Hey.

Bianca: Hi

Thalia: Thought I might find you here. *sits next to her* What'cha doing?

Bianca: *looks up at the stars* Just talking.

Thalia: *pulls her close to a hug* I miss her, too.

I am currently at the end of chapter 3 of The Titan's Curse and oh man, do I have some thoughts. So first things first. I do not like Artemis. Like, at all. She's currently inhabiting spot 2 on my "I hope Luke wins because of you guys" RIGHT after Ares himself. I REALLY don't like the whole "anti-boy" thing she and her Hunters have going on. Like, okay- I get it to some degree. Chasity and maidenhood is like- her whole thing. But honestly, at this point, it feels almost fanatic. I'm a girl myself, and it makes me genuinely uncomfortable how they act and what they say. It also weirds me out how.... pushy they are to Bianca ? Especially how they seem to disregard Nico in all of this. It was stated that Bianca and Nico are their only remaining relatives. Percy brings up a very valid point in the fact that Nico cannot become a Hunter. Bianca would leave her only brother behind, her brother whose only family she is. And in response Artemis and Zoe just- blow that whole concern off ???????? Saying that they would become Bianca's new family. It could have worked better had this decision only attempted Bianca- BUT IT DOESN'T. What about Nico ? Who would become Nico's new family !? Well APPARENTLY Artemis and her Hunters COULDN'T CARE LESS because he was born with the wrong gender. Sorry kiddo though luck ig 🤷‍♀️ And then that nasty comment when they talk about Nico going to camp with "that's all boys are good for" The fuck Artemis????? I know DAMN WELL ur ass didn't just insult the ONE relatively safe place for demigods where those kids are trained up to do the shit YOU AND YOUR FAMILY are too lazy to do !? Like I have my problems with Camp, not gonna lie. I still think it's still unsafe (even if it's better compared to- well, everywhere else) and their teaching methods are a bit questionable (how has no one thought of organizing some damn therapy for these kids !?) BUT ALSO !?!?!?!? Bianca who JUST said she was still thinking about joining the hunters only to then immediately make up her mind and join ? Naw I'm calling foul play. At this point I'm not putting ANYTHING past ANY god. I would fully trust Artemis to manipulate Bianca's mind or something. I swear to god with every chapter I read I become more and more of a Luke apologist. He went off the deep end for a good freaking reason and he has every right to personally decapitate every god to ever walk the earth. But also, ANNABETH BABY ARE YOU OKAY !? ARE YOU GOOD GIRL ??? WHERE'D YOU GO !? God I am PRAYING it ain't Tartarus or anything- atleast Artemis said she'd search for her so I suppose Mrs. "Human rights for men ? Who needs that !" isn't TOTALLY useless beyond ending my nerves. Poor Nico by the way, he seems like such a nice kid ! A total nerd and drok which honestly ? Stan. As someone who's a nerd myself (although I'm more in the Anime and history department (weird combo ik)) I can stan him. But also MY POOR BABY. That child basically lost his sister to something I'm not yet convinced isn't some weird cult RIGHT AFTER being attacked by a literal MONSTER.

That must hurt. As for Thalia.... yeah not sure about her. She seems to have some bad blood with the hunters of Artemis and that Zoë girl which makes her immediately more likable to me. But also I was sort of thrown into a loop with how suddenly the book started into the story, I would have liked a bit of a slower start with more build-up to get to know her better.

She seems to have a pretty confrontational personality , which is the main thing that makes me a bit unsure about her. But other than that she sems pretty cool so far ! Hope to see more. One thing however made me worry a bit.... that mist thing. Where Thalia was able to manipulate the mist, and upon Percy's questioning asking if "Chiron didn't show you that yet". How it's treated to be nothing special....... listen if I wasn't a bit iffy about the whole system of the Camp I am now. Why didn't Chiron show Percy that ? It doesn't look to be some special ability reserved for children of Zeus. Infact, why didn't Chiron show that EVERY demigod !? I am hoping to god that an explanation for that's gonna come up later to explain this. Otherwise I'll just have to assume that Chiron is refusing to teach those kids a valuable and also kinda important skill just because.

(Also on an off note, y'all remember that one "Who's Jason Theory" I had a while back where I concluded he's either from Roman North Korea or a Rome fanboy ? Yeah I got it confirmed from a friend a while back that he's from Roman North Korea. Holy fuck, so apperantly The Democratic Demigod's Republic of Rome exists canonically. And apparently they are the East Germany to Camp Halfblood's West Germany. Yikes. Don't know much more tho than it existing and apperantly being well, Roman North Korea. So please no spoilers there ^^)

(Please mark any spoilers in your replies/reblogs so I can avoid them, thank you )

We fight but tears still win

I slip past Florence, she gave me a worried look but said nothing when she noticed my eyes, red from crying. This couldn't be happening, Nico hadn't called today, it was a dream, it had to be. I've lost people before, I know my friends will die, I've seen them die but he seemed so... powerful, he couldn't just be... gone. I just need to tell Annabeth, surely she can come up with an answer, some sick twisted game from the gods that's what this was, right? I spot her sitting in silence with Hana, Dave was probably busy, they were both sketching. My breath shakes, I have to tell her, she deserves to know, tears run down my cheeks but I wipe them away, I need to be strong enough to tell her but more so strong enough to tell her it's going to be okay. I walk up to them, every thought felt hollow and broken, I was sure Gaia would be the end. Two wars, Luke, Selina, Bianca, Zoë, Ethan, Micheal, Lee, Beckendorf, now Jason, how many more people would I lose? Who was next? Grover? Annabeth? No, I wouldn't let them do this anymore. I can't lose them; I can't lose her. Luke was a person fighting for the greater good, he'd sacrifice all he loved for a better future. I'm not like that, I would sacrifice all good, all hope of the world being a better place, anything for Annabeth. You could say he was a better person than me, he was a better person than me. He was right, the gods don't deserve it, if I could take them down I would but what would the cost be? I lost Jason; in a war against the gods I'd lose every other person I cared for. Maybe it's selfish, still I won't let them get hurt anymore, then again I've already failed. I wish I wasn't immune to drowning myself; I let out a shaky sigh and started to talk.

"Hey Annie, can I talk to you about something?"

"Oh Percy, sure wha-" Before she could finish Hana interrupted her, I knew she didn't like me but I wasn't sure if I could resist not fighting back, not now.

"-I AM SO DONE WITH YOUR BULLSHIT, DO YOU EVEN CARE ABOUT ANNABETH OR ARE YOU JUST USING HER TO GET GOOD GRADES? DO YOUR OWN WORK FOR ONCE; Annabeth, you deserve better than this son of a bitch." What the hell did she just say? I know I should toughen up and deal with it but I just lost one of my best friends and I don't think I can take her shit right now.

"You don't know what I've gone through with her, I would and have killed for her, and don't you fucking dare interrupt my girlfriend again."

"Hana what the fuck was that? Don't speak to him like that, don't talk about him like that. Do you understand me?" She looked terrifying and I've seen her kill before, though that look was pretty close killing. "He's gone through more than you could imagine and believe me when I say he's not dating me for the grades." A sane person would have backed down by now but clearly Hana wasn't very sane; the librarian looked like she wanted to stab all three of us but resisted to get the drama.

"Then what the fuck is he here for this time? Probably asking you to do another one of his assignments."

"I never do his assignments, I don't know where you got that idea from. He literally just said he wanted to talk to me so if you'll excuse me I need to go and talk to my boyfriend."

"He can say it here, let us see what's so important that he couldn't wait and call you tonight."

"Percy you don't have to if it's personal." I needed to say it, I didn't exactly want her around but if that's what it took for Hana to shut up I'll do it. I take a deep breath, forcing back the tears.

"N-Nico called today..." I looked at her, she had realised someone had died. "... Jason's dead." Tears started to pour down her face, I pull her up into a hug and kiss her forehead. Hana looks shocked, she just watched, I almost wished she'd say something.

"N-no. No. He can't be. What happened? Percy what happened?" Annabeth spoke in broken sobs but I didn't have many answers, I just pull her closer.

"I don't know, I just got a message from Nico that he's gone. I know it's a lot, I still haven't really processed it either but just breathe. Four in, four hold, four out, four nothing." I hold onto both her hands as I talk,"Do it with me okay? In for four, hold for four, out for four, nothing for four. A few more times, I've got you, you're going to be okay."

"H-He reminded me- of.. Luke, it's like losing him all over again."

"I know it's hard baby, it's a lot, but you're gonna get through it, I know you are."

"Does Thalia know?" I hadn't even thought of Thalia, I can't imagine how it would feel. She thought he was dead for years, got him back only for him to actually die.

"Don't worry about anyone else right now, Thalia's gonna be okay, focus on yourself for now."

"Is he really gone? Maybe it's what happened to Leo? He can't just be gone, he- he had so much left to do- he was barely sixteen."

"Shhh, I know, you've lost a lot of people, we both have. We can't bring him back."

"We bought Leo back, there has to be something, maybe-" She couldn't finish, tears streamed down her face and I hugged her even tighter. I could barely keep myself together but I needed to be stronger for her, she needs someone to tell her it's going to be okay.

"I'm sorry baby." I kiss her on the forehead again, part of me wishes I'd waited to tell her but Nico was coming over to talk later and I felt like it was better that she knew.

"How was Nico holding up?" She choked, Jason was the first person that had really made him feel accepted, the gods were cruel taking him away.

"He seem better than after Bianca, I hope Will's helping. He looked almost hollow when he called though, like he'd shut down his emotions; he's coming over tonight."

"What if he tries to do what he did for Bianca?"

"He won't, he knows its dangerous, he's smarter than that."

"I'm worried about him more than anyone."

"He's strong, he's going to be okay."

"He tries to be, Percy swear you won't tell him I told you this, on the Styx."

"I swear on the river of Styx I won't tell Nico what you are about to tell me." What had happened? I hated that Nico didn't feel like he could ever talk to me, it was my own fault but still I wish he'd tell me, I was almost constantly worried about him, after everything he felt like my brother. Just like Jason; I held back the tears for a little longer but my mind screamed.

"After the two wars, I saw cuts on his arms. I tried to talk to him but all he said was that it's none of my business, a few weeks later when I kept asking if he was holding up alright he opened up. Started after he lost his sister, he was still hurting himself when we left. He said Will was trying to help but after Jason? He was the first person that accepted him, I doubt he's holding up very well." I wanted to be shocked, I wished that I couldn't imagine Nico doing that but after all he'd been through I wasn't. I was worried, more than ever, but I just felt empathy.

"He shouldn't have gone through that much, he was ten when it all started."

"You were twelve."

"You were seven."

"And Jason was three. Fucking three years old when he was taken away from everyone and everything he knew and loved and now he's dead and it's their fault. We could get revenge, we know it's their fault."

"No, listen to me Annie, if we fight them more people are going to get hurt. They're too strong, they'd kill us all."

"I hate this, I feel so useless."

"Annabeth Chase, you have saved my neck more times that I can count, your the reason the camps are at peace, you are the smartest person I know and you are anything except useless."

"Can I stay at yours tonight? I don't want to be alone."

"That's why I came straight here, do you wanna go now? Nico's coming over in I think twenty minutes, Will's probably gonna be with him."

"Yeah, I want to talk to him. Thank you so much Percy, I love you."

"I love you more, my wise girl."

hange zoë hcs because they deserve more attention from the fandom 🫶🏻

genderfluid! hange prefers they/she, but he/him is fine for them too.

pansexual and panromantic! ...who am i kidding, she'd probably seduce a titan if they could.

frustrated gamer, will rage quit after losing three games in a row.

their favorite games are live action ones, they prefer fighting in a video game rather than in real life. you'd think she'd be tired of beating enemies' asses after a long day but no.

they also enjoy life simulation games like the sims sometimes. has the wackiest families and drama going on. "oops i drowned one in the pool..."

got their computer from a dump they found during an expedition, it was a really old model on the verge of death but she managed to fix it. they were very very excited when they found out how it worked.

they often multitask when gaming and will wonder why they lost afterwards. it's because there's so much that they want to do.

hange doesn't know when she's pissing levi off and will continue rambling on about whatever peculiar titan captured their interest that week.

has seen many of their friends die and puts up a cheerful façade to not make her remaining comrades worry about her.

likes skittles and gummy worms — sweet stuff in general cheers them up and makes them super happy.

doesn't pay much attention to their appearance. they've only worn one pair of glasses their whole life! likes wearing suits just to rebel against gender stereotypes though. who am i to disagree, she looks so hot in a suit.

"what do you mean it's 2 am and i have to go to bed?"

when she's sad, she becomes either uncharacteristically quiet and distant or super talkative. if it's the former, they probably try to cheer up sooner because they don't wanna be a burden.

the definition of "smart dumbass".

takes their coffee with tons of sugar.

they would rather be a researcher than the commander of the 104th survey corps.

she prefers dogs > cats because of their bouncy, excited energy, which she can match well enough. they want a puppy, but it's not possible with the current conditions (titans, war, and whatnot).

probably has adhd and autism but is still respected by almost everyone because genius IQ.

jumps like a child when excited about something and throws their arms in the air. will pick up the one next to them and twirl them around too. unfortunately for him, levi is often the one standing next to them.

hange teases levi about his height.

she also teases him about his lack of sleep because although she hates going to bed, once they're actually there, they're out like a light and sleep like a log. moblit has to knock on her door every morning to wake them up.

really slow in the mornings, it takes them long to get ready as they get distracted by the papers scattered across their desk depicting various aspects of titans.

super messy room. they sleep in a loft bed despite being of high rank simply because they like the risk of falling down any second.

[ambercast]

Zoë didn't say anything for a moment, looking down at the empty ring finger of her left hand. She inhaled slowly, not entirely sure what to say to that. Once upon a time, she would've been right where Zain was at, ready to go all in with their relationship. But the time apart and the thrill she'd felt chasing this story . . . it wasn't like anything she'd ever felt before. She wanted to keep chasing it. Would he let her?

“We've been apart for a while now. I think . . . we should take things one day at a time. If you can be patient with me a bit longer, maybe we can salvage this. I'm not a quitter, Zain, you know that. I don't want to quit this. But I know we might be different people than we were before, and I know I hurt you. Why don't we . . . take some time to think and then sit down and really talk about where we see this going?”

he didn't know where they stood and that was the most maddening part of him being here. in limbo both in life and love had been taking its toll on him. if after all of this zoë said she didn't want to be in a relationship, he'd respect it but he needed her in his life. she was someone that was far too important for him to lose.

"you think i don't want this?" he asked "i've been looking for you since the day you didn't come home. for better, for worse. where's your head at with it?"

the stars are your friends? / for thalia :'|

"only some of them. some of these constellations are made from some real fucking assholes." she says with a lopsided smile, finding both amusement and a bit of heartache in the question. she was sure zoë would have laughed at her, calling her a friend and thinking back on all of their arguments so fondly, but it's amazing what a noble death can do in terms of building respect.

"see that one? i'd fight that one. his whole thing is that he's up there bragging, for something he took all the credit for when he would have been nothing without a strong girl behind him." she points at a cluster of stars, a man stomping on a serpent, her lips pursing for a second. it only seems right to shit on heracles with the subject at hand, and it's a lot easier to find the words for that than it is to say what she really wants to get to. "those stars suck ass."

it seems wrong to her to talk about the stars without talking about zoë, when she the two are so intertwined in her mind. jason understands loss, understands how you can admire someone and still butt heads with them, understands the way thalia takes the people she cares about and tucks them away deep in her heart, and carries them with her everywhere she goes. he's just the person she'd want to talk about it to, but still, she falters. she's never been good with words, and where does she even start?

"you've heard about what we were doing when mount othrys was rising again, right? when annabeth and percy got their unfairly cool matching hair?" it's easier to think about that than how tired annabeth had looked, glancing over at jason for a second before she goes on. "they get a lot of credit for that whole mess, and they deserve it, and artemis too. but that was where zoë died. where she sacrificed herself. she had to deal with her family after like, a thousand years or something, and it's still one of the bravest things i've ever fucking seen."

she knows she doesn't have to give jason all of the details for him to understand why she would have so much respect for something like that. parents could be one of the scariest things in the world, and she had stood up to her father and stayed loyal to the family she had found. of course thalia admired it.

"that one's her. the one with the bow." she uses one hand to trace the pattern, which matches the tattooed dots on her forearm perfectly. she suddenly feels a little choked up, which she's also pretty sure zoë would find amusing. thalia had just really cared about that stupid old lady, and their quest was something that would have bonded them for life if they'd both made it through. she wonders what they've missed out on doing together sometimes, all of the petty, ridiculous fights they're not going to get to have. "i want people to remember her too. she was really, really cool. but don't let her know i said that, alright?"

@titanslayer

[i-am-the-balancing-point]

2 and 3 for the oc questions :D

hehe thank you! this is gonna be fun <3 (you did not specify the category so I'm just doing all 2s and 3s from the list :3)

this got really long so it's answered under the cut

BASICS

2. What does their name mean? Why were they named that?

the incredibly deep and thoughtful meaning behind Deputy Gigi's name is that she is the deputy and Gigi is my nickname and she is named that way because she is my fun little self-insert lady with a fun little hat. 😎

On a more serious note: I have thought a lot about her name by now and have come to the conclusion that I find it highly amusing if she were to just go by her first name (which is possibly a nickname, I haven't decided yet) and title and nobody really knew that much about her full name because it does not really matter in the end anyway. She'll introduce herself as the Junior Deputy or Deputy Gigi and people are all confused and will be like..? "Is Gigi your surname? Is this a nickname? Your nametag says Rook." in absolute confusion. She'd just shrug and leave them in the dark.

although I have considered making Rook her last name but I am somewhat hesitant about that for some reason I do not know

according to some mediocre ecosia research (use ecosia btw! it's great!) Gigi can be the diminutive of Virginia, which can mean "virginal" or "virgin woman", something I find equally amusing considering how much of a thot my character and I are, but also "pure" which I find kinda endearing. under all of this wrath and energy and grief and confusion and stress, there are pure intentions and those are what motivates her. it is a stretch but I like the connection nonetheless.

3. Do they have any nicknames?

Yes! Sharky calls her Shorty, Hurk has adopted the practice. (I love them.) Stacy, she likes to call him Stace, used to call her Stinky but not as much anymore after he is freed from Jacob's capture. Addie sometimes uses sweet pea, sweetcorn, or sweet greens for her. Everybody respects that and nobody dares to make fun of it. Also because they are scared of the ass whooping they would get from both.

APPEARANCE

2 . Do they have a face claim?

Hm kinda but also kinda not...? I based her design on my face for obvious self-insert reasons but also because I cannot draw without tracing photos to save my life.

If I had to pick a face-claim with a gun to my head I'd probably say Gal Gadot, but also because I am a HUGE wonder woman fan. Maybe throw in some Priyanka Chopra - especially during her Quantico days - and Zoë Kravitz in there too.

3. What’s their style like? Clothes, hair, makeup?

ooooh fun fun fun! I love talking about style and this specifically!

At first, Gigi was really attached to her uniform. To a point where it took a good bit of persuasion from Dutch until she finally agreed to at least take it off to let it dry. (She then also gave it a rinse because lake water stinks and she eventually came to the realization that she cannot be a respectable deputy if she smells like days-old fish pee.)

But during the first few weeks after the helicopter crash, she will absolutely not take that damn uniform off. Not even if it gets really hot under the shirt. It is so ingrained in her that she is responsible for protecting the citizens of Hope County, especially now that the situation has escalated. She. Cannot. Possibly. Fail. Them. It's not only her job but her duty and the uniform that represents this role as Junior Deputy is the only thing that she can cling to for at least a brief sense of security and pre-reaping normalcy.

Then, after having witnessed one too many deaths, presumably on the resistance side - that she of course secretly blames herself for - something in her snaps and she ditches the uniform because at this point it does not mean anything anymore anyways. So from then on, she sports her skinny jeans and the trouble maker crop top. John swears it's a deliberate decision to taunt them because her new clothes show off the scars he gave her all too well and OH MY GOD IT'S NAKED SKIN! LITTLE JOHNNY JUST HAS TO STARE!

She also ditches her old boots eventually for a pair of trainers which she takes from an abandoned home. It's something she hates doing but her boots are basically falling apart by then and decent shoes in her size are hard to come by when nobody gets in or out of the county. She makes a mental note to get whoever they previously belonged to a new pair if they are both still alive when the cult is finally defeated though.

And of course, not to forget, her cowboy hat! It was something Dutch allowed her to take from his bunker. It belonged to a family member once but they have stopped visiting him quite a while ago and he figures she can keep it. Also a little ref to Sheriff Whitehorse who she respects a lot and who is someone my dep looks up to.

PERSONALITY

2 . Which one of the 16 Personality Types do they fit into?

okay, okay, okay. I'm getting a little ranty again so I'll try to keep it short but my stance on this is that the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is complete and utter bullshit. give it a google if you're interested, I'm too tired of this to explain.

3. What are their hobbies and interests? Do they have any particular “favorites” (food, books, and so on)?

The easiest way to Gigi's heart is food. Food and horses. She has been riding horses as long as she can walk and she absolutely loves spending time with those animals. And she loves to cook and eat. She loves taking care of people by cooking for them and getting cared for in the same way. If you get her takeout after she had a long day of work she'll basically be down to get married on the spot (John, take note! You should have brought Bang Bang Broccoli with Tofu to the church instead of those dead ravens).

During the reaping, she would love nothing more than to catch a break with a book. She prefers non-fiction but at the time she would take basically anything to just take her mind off the whole mess for a while.

BACKGROUND

2 . What’s their family like?

Things with her parents are tense but not completely terrible. They don't talk often. She has a bunch of cousins she loves but doesn't get to see as often as she'd like. At least that means nobody is worried about her when she does not text or call for a while... She hates when people worry about her.

3. What factions or organizations are they a part of? What ranks and titles do they hold?

Hope County Sheriff's Department – current – Junior Deputy

The Resistance – current – bad bitch trying her best

Girl Scouts of the USA – age 10 – Junior yes, she used to be a girl scout but unfortunately only briefly

RELATIONSHIPS

2. What’s their friend group like? What role do they play in it?

Deputy Gigi is absolutely chaotic good. A very loud, very fun, and caring mom-friend. Okay, maybe not exactly mum but fun auntie-friend? She always wants to take care of everybody and can make friends wherever she goes but she can also quickly get too much for people when she's having a good time and really excited about life.

That, fortunately, attracts a bunch of queerdos though! But the job has taken a toll on her social life and does not get to see and talk to her old friends as much as she would like anymore...

3. What’s their love life like? Do they have any kids?

Active describes it the best. My deputy is definitely a people-person. She also values her alone-time but she is naturally outgoing flirty and sexual (when she is not on the job) so she does date and sleep around. That stops for a while with the reaping but once she is back to her old self, virtually no cheeks in hope county will escape the clapping!

FUN FACTS

2. Do they play any instruments? Sports?

She plays guitar. Not super well but it's enough to accompany her singing and that she does well! Same for playing the piano. Generally, she is musically inclined she just lacks any formal education, and now the time to practice.

Dep Gigi does not play sports apart from horse riding but she starts to learn bat tricks when it becomes her trusty companion.

3. What are some items they always carry?

a chewed up pen, cliff bars, ibuprofen an,d a knife plus her trusty rusty bat

for more insight into her pockets pls refer to the OC inventory tag thing I made ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

ok I hate referring to myself as "awkward grade 11" so imma just say my name cause it's easier. it's amanda, and okay so yeah I'd be super offended if they dated?? I know that's so petty but I liked him first, and she KNEW that. she said to another friend of mine that if he asked her out she'd say no, but then she followed him on instagram first, and this morning she "accidentally" snapped him a "streaks" photo. he didn't respond, but still. im just really hurt because this always happens to me

hi amanda im zoë to be frank i think you need to talk to her instead of going through people just have it be very relax and open so neither one of you feel attacked or feel the need to lash out youre going to have to do it eventually and the sooner the better
