———

Liv Stark ⌚️

Full name: Olivia Charlotte Stark-Vega

Nicknames: Liv, Vi, Lottie, Lola, Clary, Char, Charlie, Miss Vega, Snark Central

Age range: 5-18

Height: 5’1

Relationship status: Single

Background: American with Peruvian, Polish and Italian descent

Father: Anthony Stark

Godmother: Elizabeth Stark

Godfather: Jason Underwood

Brother & Sister: Rei and Morgan Stark

Step-mom: Pepper Potts

Uncles: James Rhodes, Happy Hogan & rest of The Avengers

Abilities: A bit of geek and hacker due to her love of technology, basic hand to hand combat since she enjoys boxing and her witty personality. She’s young so she hasn’t gotten plenty of skills yet.

Personality: Liv has a smart touch, gentle soul, sweet, charming and easy going. She is a bit of a bitchy girl and stubborn about everything she does. If she wants to do something, she will probably sneak out to get it done. She got a some of anxiety and a nervous twitch (which would grow over the years since Liv is afraid of being alone and in the dark about a lot of things), this creeping fear and sadness that will take over her if not careful.

- However Liv is very accident prone, she’s always getting hurt one way or another, giving everyone an heart attack since the age of 9 since she’s always been a active little girl. So in result she give Tony and something for Rei to roll his eyes about.

- From an young age, she has always been into tech, jewelry and over all. Wanting to build and grow a her own little things, she was a Stark it’s a given! She watched a lot of movies so she got creative with her ideas.

- Random fun fact, one of her favorite movies is 10 Things I Hate About You, just because she likes Kat Stratford’s aesthetic and attitude. But it’s many Action Movies and Rom-Coms that she will watch with Pepper, that she enjoyed. It’s where she gets her inspiration for things.

- She adored the idea staying in the lab, tinkering and cleaning up the inventions that were made. She practically lived in there, staying home to help and learn. It caused never want to leave that house in general, having a bit of mouth on her after hearing the adults always speak their minds (so don’t be surprised this girl start rambling and throws out whatever bullshit that appears in her thoughts), but it allowed her to be a safe within those four walls.

- It didn’t take long for her to start filling up a notebook with designs on how to incorporate technology into fine jewelry (aka The Stark Watch, necklaces to tracking and security measures, bracelets to be use for defense purposes and rings can be transformed into gauntlet).

- She’s always been bit of business women! Wanting to create products to help people, keeping an eye on things from behind the scenes, represent and model for Stark industries and such.

- But she was still so young, so her parents and siblings didn’t want her to grow up so soon in the spotlight of it. She’s a kid! And she understood that, it bothered her but she understood why. So she stays hoping her time could come where she can help out the group.

—> Because little did she know that theses little gadgets and gizmos that would be incorporated into the ideas her father and older brother would use as fashion purposes in the future with their own suits. Aka they’re Iron Man suits!

—> I know you may be wondering about her family life, well Liv raised well per say. She had to move around a lot as a child, especially since Tony never wanted the public attention to be on her just yet and her mother wasn’t sure that she would taken care of. It took convincing from Pepper and Jason to let her stay home with them, so everything was fine after that.

Her relationship with her father was an nice one. When it comes to parenting his kids, Tony was a rather dramatic, embarrassingly loud at times, a little cocky and stubborn parent per day, so it’s a bit difficult to get him to calm down and talk softly with him. Tony cares a lot about his children, having Rei and Liv to take care of but he was always busy with the company having to arrive home late, events he had to attend and ending up being tired.

Other than that, he tried to make time for his son and daughter, bringing them to the lab and everywhere he could. Even if he got in trouble afterwards. Tony always tries to inspire his daughter to do what she loves and experience things, be caring, make sure she was alright too and etc. But they make it work!

Ohh, did I forget to mention how annoying and protective Tony can be as a parent? He will take everything very seriously or not serious at all, acting out if something goes wrong and he tends to be questioning his motives. Even blaming himself if something bad were to happen to his family. Tell Tony Stark you have a crush? He sends JARVIS to keep an eye on you. Ask Tony for something like a new backpack for school? He buys you something else.

In his defense, he does everything with so much love (even if he doesn’t always portray it in the best way).

Her relationship with Rei however—you wouldn’t think it but rather wholesome, since she’s the little sister he never exactly wanted. They were completely opposite to one another, he’s grumpy and she’s easygoing, he rather work alone in silence and she rather work with music blasting and etc. But as much as Rei may be annoyed and want to throw his little sister out of the house, deep down he cares about her, even though he didn’t show it to her very often and he’s very protective of her ever since he was a child.

Rei and their father, always trying to keep Liv out of harms way and safe at home. Even if they tend to fail at times.

Since Tony was always busy, Rei tends to be one to look out for Liv and keep her in check, being her personal bodyguard for everything she does. If it was up to him, Rei would wrap his baby sister in bubble wrap and not let her leave the house!!

When they were kids (and even now) Liv would follow Rei wherever he went and wanting to copy him, be like her big brother because he always around the corner with something snarky to say to her and a huge potty mouth (it resulted in her having a huge attitude as well). She will always be the one to encourage Rei’s designs for suits and talk to dad about something.

He talks and she will absolutely love to listen to him (even if 85% of the time she has no idea what he’s talking, cause he’s smarter than her at a lot of things.)

Sometimes you will find Liv in a moody way shutting everyone out of her room and just curled up in a ball, similar to brother and to be honest, it concerns Rei a bit when it happens. But he would probably try to snap her out of it, even not he will let her be in her moody moments. He knows how it is

At the end of the day, no matter how different they were with one another and the paths they choose, they cared in their own way. Even if when they’re public, they act like they don’t know one another.

—> As for her relationship with the Avengers and Young Avengers! Ooof let’s stick to first impressions, shall we?

She met all of them when she just a child, joining Rei and Tony on a simple basis day with the group. She first started watching her father talking with Bruce Banner, and she took a liking to him very much seeing how nice, gentle and reserved he can be. But there an edge to him, that she found to be cool.

As for when she met Rick, it was when him and Rei were chatting. Her first impression of him, to her the young man is that he looked like a old school Disney Channel Star with a nice smile and warmth, with a glint of mischief in his eyes.

So when she saw Bruce, Rick, Rei and Tony all work together in their own separate labs blasting music so loudly..the only thing Vi said, “Oh no, there’s 4 of them!”

When she met Natasha, she just cool and rather chill per say acting like the nonsense agent with a soft side. Romanoff’s daughter on the other hand, she was just curious about her and Vi liked that.

Same thing goes for Clint and his daughter, they were just cool people. She was always amazed with the skills they had, and a part of her always knew that Clint Barton was a family man. And she was right, when they appeared at the Barton’s Barn years later.

Meira and Luna were just so relaxed, gentle and sweet girls. She adored how they acted with their teammates and siblings, especially Meira since she was a little sister just like her. Sweet and snarky.

Ethan was just super chill and suspicious of everything, Rei didn’t like him and carried Vi alway from from very quickly. Cole was just so mischievous, snarky smile and tossing jokes every day, making Vi laugh or snort. But a part of her respected him greatly, cause she heard he was VERY powerful.

Liane, well she didn’t like her right away. She annoyed Olivia very quickly and she sent painful glared toward the girl who tried to make friends with her. After a while she softened toward Ms Felton, but it took a long time cause she saw Rei didn’t like her either.

Daphnia Barnes-Wilson 🪫

Full name: Daphnia Ramona Wilson-Barnes

Nicknames: Daphne, Nia, Daph, DD, Sparky, Daffy, Fifi, Birdie,

Other name while on the run: Davina, Robin

Age range: 7–20

Height: 5’7

Relationship status: Single

Parents: Bucky Barnes & Sam Wilson

Background: American with Mexican and Chilean Origin

Aunt: Sarah Wilson

Uncle: Steve Rogers

Sister: Laurie Wilson

Brother: Benjamin Barnes

Abilities: Marksmanship and Acrobatics, having took some gymnastics classes. She’s also a bit of a fast learner so she’s fluent in English, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese and some French.

Personality: Gentle, a little broken due to being let down a lot in life, warm-hearted, clumsy, a bit shy and humorous at times. But if she’s anything like her fathers, she’s stubborn enough, a little self-sacrificing, and willingly to help no matter what.

- Sam and Bucky have been together for a while now, since their chemistry was a challenging one it always hard to settle down and figure out what they want. However a house, family and future for their kids was always one of them.

- They already had Laurie and Benjamin, so they thought two kids was enough as it is. But things took a small turn when they stumble at a orphanage in Brazil for a mission and met this no named little girl who gave both of them the most honest smile.

- Sam has always been one to have a big heart, so wanting a big family was always part of that. So his heart spoke before his words ever could, wanting to adopt her. Bucky Barnes on the other hand was a little hesitant—well more like worried—about the whole thing, he always wanted a little piece of normalcy and he got it with Sam and their kids. But adding a 3rd? That was a lot of responsibility, but he caved as soon as he hung out with the girl.

- To be honest, they saw a bit of themselves in her. So she was adopted when she less than 10 years old and brought into a family of oddly comforting heroes. They named gave her a name and did everything they could to make her feel comfortable. Welcomed.

—> So Davina (or Daphne) as they called her grow up with her parents and siblings. As loved as she was, she always felt alone and feared that it will all be taken away from her. Especially with the fact that her parents were heroes themselves, there was always a chance that they can end up hurt or worse, if not careful.

- But Bucky always made sure to tell her and every single one of his children, “Don’t worry, I’ll always come back home to you guys, no matter how long it takes.” And Sam would tell them, “You’re our kids, we will always love you and be there to tuck you in bed whenever we can.”

- Sometimes they would be gone for 2-3 days, maybe a week or a whole month leaving the kids in care of family and friends. Laurie was the oldest of the siblings, so they could handle themselves very well and or sneak off to join the fight ending with them in trouble. Benjamin being the second oldest, so he rather stay behind during the fight and stay with his sisters and friends.

- Speaking of fights and travel, when if plenty say battle isn’t place for children. Sometimes Sam and Bucky had no choice but to bring there kids with them to places like Wakanda, Stark Tower, France and or let’s say Germany for instance. Even though it was a hassle to bring children along for the ride, it was an interesting learning experience and a way to test out their kids

- And to be honest, Daph and her siblings enjoy it a little too much. Cracking jokes, running around, exploring different places and meeting interesting people, and creating new ideas among one another. It was a field trip for them sometimes.

-> And if your wondering, yes Daphnia is team #HateJohnWalker! When she found out, she was ready to take her baseball bat and wack his head with it, demanding the Shield back with a glare. Bucky couldn’t be more prouder of her in that moment laughing, meanwhile Sam rolled his eyes unable to believe what he heard.

- Random fun fact, she played baseball before she was ever adopted and had really good aim, depending on where she was hitting. It was a trait her siblings carried on as well, especially Benjamin even if he was more reserved one, he had a great aim.

- She always loved any sport that involves movement and play, soccer being one of them (since she lived in Brazil for a while). She liked to think she was rather talented when it came to that, even if she was a problem when it came to being around other kids, having a small temper and glaring at other people. Mainly, it was her insecurity that she hid underneath her own glares.

- Matter a fact all the kids were talented in their own way ever since they were younger. Daphne when she was very little, believed at the time that she didn’t have any good talents and wasn’t as smart enough as it is. Until Sam took her out to the shopping and noticed that she stopped in front of small gymnastics building with wide eyes, softly grinning at the sight. She pleaded for him to let her walk in and see the girls, he nodded letting her watch. As she did, Daph realized she wanted to join in on the fun and dance as well. Sam couldn’t stop himself and called Bucky for his opinion on it.

- She started her classes soon enough and enjoyed it for the most part, her body was rather sore after some classes. So she wasn’t too happy about that part. When Bucky told Nat about it, the Russian spy came in shocked and said, “If she wanted to learn some acrobatics, why didn’t you come to me or Lydia? Barton would’ve showed her!”

- Bucky just rolled his eyes and replied, “Cause she wanted that to be her own thing. And it doesn’t hurt to have some normalcy around her, Romanoff. I think it’s a good thing..” And Bucky was right about that, since he loved seeing his husband and children happy, enjoying themselves and having a break from the hero world. Hell, he goes to every talent show, buys items needed and participates in whatever is needed. Even if he’s not too happy about it at first.

- Of course as much as acrobatics were her own thing and all she ever wanted to do, so she can have that skill set. That didn’t stop the idea of having good marksmanship in her left corner, she was already good with a baseball bat and Bucky was more than happy to show the basics of how to hold/use a gun to his kids. Sam wasn’t too pleased about that idea though saying, “They’re too young!”

- And to be honest, Daph was pretty good with a gun. Swinging it swiftly and tossing the gun in her hands, holding it up to her target (which was an old target board hanging outside nearby the trees). However that didn’t mean she didn’t play around with the gun at first, holding in her hands and pretending to be a spy. “Barnes, but you can call Agent Daphnia Wilson, at your service.” She said with a giggle, humoring herself.

- Daph was always a little silly, cocky and daring. Not thinking first and asking questions later kinda gal—oops! So it lead her to getting in trouble sometimes, breaking certain curfews if she out at the movies with a friend (like with one of the young avengers), being a little lazy about things and running away from her problems like a champ. But by the end of the day, she was good girl.

-> Speaking of Young Avengers and Older Avengers. You’re probably wondering who’s her favorites are and first impression were of the teams huh? Well, here are your answers.

Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff were a given to being liked by her, due to her parents being friends with them. I mean come on, they are basically Captain America, The Black Widow and the rest of Cap’s Quarter.

Moving down the list Thor was always a silly man to her, hearing stories how he speaks in old English and is very noble when it comes to the things that he does. According to the stories from Sam, he was a rather loud fella with a good heart.

Clint Barton, she took a liking too finding his simple ways of life and honest charm to be a nice thing to see. Plus Clint has a similar murder stare to Bucky, so it was funny to see their resting faces when they’re in the same room together.

The man, the myth, the legend himself (or that’s at least what people like to say) Tony Stark was always one of a kind. She was very nervous to meet all of The Avengers, one of them being Stark having seen how the persona he displayed on TV screens and the stories. But in reality, Tony was just a genius goof with snarky humor, so it lighten up her mood.

It was like Bruce Banner sensed her nervousness from a mile away since she appeared in The Tower. He noticed the child behind Sam Wilson holding her jacket, leaned down to her level to kindly introduce himself to the girl and watching parents reactions. Soon enough, with Bucky leaning against the wall with a nod of encouragement, Daph started talking to Bruce with such softness and gentleness.

As for the rest of them, she met them some time later. The Young Avengers. She met the Stark siblings, Rei wasn’t in the lightest mood having no like the idea of meeting Barnes or Wilson’s kids but Olivia gave her a warm welcome and waved at her before rushing off to meet her friends at the mall.

Natasha Romanoff’s daughter Rochelle was kind enough to show her and her siblings around, chatting with them knowing it felt to be the new kids. Daph liked her reddish hair and kind smile.

Liane was something else, having been on a rambling mess when she met Daph and trying to figure out what to do with her plans. Laurie laughed as her sister snicker at the blonde, meanwhile Benji just rolled his eyes confused wanting to get away from there.

Meira was and will always be a delight to meet, since Daphnia met her that same week in The Tower’s kitchen and taste testing her new batch of cookies. They were delicious.

Speaking of food, when Daphnia met Rick she got the same warmth and kindness she remembered from being Bruce. But this time it involved snacks and jokes around his week at The Tower, she was all ears listening to him as they entered the kitchen to find some chicken nuggets.

Cole and Luna, it was more magic and fun spells when she came to see them. The two were casting some spills, when she got caught in one of them being turned into a little mouse by accident. Cole laughed as Luna worried, but they turned her back to normal soon enough.

Ethan was the 3rd sibling she met, and she thanked all the Stars and Stripes that it was a simple meeting. He was watching a movie, being Monsters Inc. when she met him the guy joining The Young Avengers for a movie night.

The Little Leeches Act One: Part of That World

Floyd swam back to his cove, upset at his father's harsh words. Sure, he was reckless, but who wasn't in their life? Floyd just loves learning about everything, something to help him understand what he wants in his life. So this leads him to collect human items he barely knows, and now it is once again dragged to the bottom by his father. Now, he was playing with his music box, and though it moved beautifully, the music was unfortunately muffled by the ocean around him, and he wished he could hear the melody of the music box so he could dance to it.

It gave him some time to think about his collection. He is so proud of his collection of human items and learning through Shore or Riddle. All because he went to see the world above for the first time and found his first item, a ballerina toy; he remembered how it danced around with beautiful music. He supposes that was also the time Floyd got interested in music and dance as well. Everything that has happened to him was because of the human world. He wouldn't have it any other way.

"Floyd?" Called out Jade, entering the cave, "Are you in here?" He looks around and swims over to him, "I figured you'd be."

"…am I a danger to you?" Floyd asked, "The last thing I want is to hurt you because of me."

Jade, shocked, answered, "Of course not. If anything," he takes a nearby dinglehopper and starts to brush his hair, "you make our lives so much more exciting. Remember the time you found mom? All by yourself?"

"..I do," Floyd answered, "It was funny to that stupid gal's face when she saw her."

"Yeah, you are more helpful than harmful."

Unaware of them, Azul entered after watching Jade enter. What he didn't expect was to see the path of human items. Sure, he knew about Floyd's hobby, but he didn't expect a whole collection of it. Oh, if his mother knew… Azul didn't say anything and watched the twins and their conversation, not sure how to make his presence known.

"That was the greatest day of my life," Jade grinned and looked up at the cave, looking at the various stuff that Floyd had collected over the years. "And look around, Floyd, you did all this."

"Why did Papa say humans are bad?" Floyd questioned, "How could a place that has such wonderful things…could be so bad?"

Jade looks over at Floyd and smiles. 'Well, Floyd.."

🐚

Look at this stuff Isn't it neat?

Wouldn't you think your collection's complete?

Wouldn't you think you're the boy?

The boy who has everything?

🐚

Floyd rolls his eyes and looks down, "Maybe?"

Jade lifts Floyd's head, making him look at the most amazing stuff that he collected.

🐚

Look at this trove

Treasures untold

How many wonders can one cavern hold?

Looking around here, you think

Sure, he's got everything

🐚

Floyd laughs and swims over to some of his collected items, a few small stuff, admiring some small stuff he collected as a young eel. He presented them to Jade, watching them float into the air.

🐚

I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty

I've got whozits and whatzits galore

You want thingamabobs?

I've got twenty!

🐚

Floyd puts the dinglehopper with some similar items, some that are quite similar.

"It is a lot," Azul thought to himself.

Floyd looks at the music box once again, finally concluding what he wanted after all those years collecting. A dream that he desperately wanted more than anything else.

🐚

But who cares?

No big deal

I want more

🐚

He grabbed the music box, showing Jade the two people dancing with each other as music played.

🐚

I wanna be where the people are

I wanna see, wanna see them dancin'

Walking around on those - what do you call 'em?

Oh - feet!

🐚

Azul could only cover his mouth to prevent a large gasp at Floyd's confession. The mention of the human world already frightened him. But the thought of Floyd wanting to go to the human world scared him, and he didn't understand it either. Sure, Floyd collected human stuff; it wasn't something that Azul could stop. However, the thought of Floyd being among humans was an awkward thing to imagine.

🐚

Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far

Legs are required for jumping, dancing

Strolling along down a - what's that word again?

Street

🐚

Floyd swims up, looking up at the ocean shore, the light reminding him of the sun above. He always remembered the beaches and all the stuff he collected from them; those were precious memories.

🐚

Up where they walk, up where they run

Up where they stay all day in the sun

Wanderin' free - wish I could be

Part of that world

🐚

Floyd sinks into the warm, golden sand, feeling the grains shift beneath him. Beside him, Jade stretches out comfortably, allowing the gentle breeze to tousle her hair. As they both relax, the rhythmic sound of the waves crashing against the shore fills the air, wrapping them in a soothing embrace. Suddenly, a moment of clarity washes over Floyd, cutting through the haze of his thoughts like a beam of sunlight piercing through clouds. He sits up slightly, his eyes narrowing as he reflects on the shifting tides of his life, the weight of decisions pressing against him, urging him to reevaluate his path.

🐚

What would I give if I could live out of these waters?

What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand?

🐚

Floyd sighs contently, just looking at the light. But the thought of what he loved can cause such a rift between him and his father, one that can properly never be repaired. Why should he have to stop what he loved? Just for someone to understand.

Jade grabs his brother's hand, startling Floyd from his deep thoughts, seemingly coming to an understanding of what those thoughts were.

🐚

Bet'cha on land they understand

That they cherish their sons and daughters

Men and women sick of swimmin'

Ready to stand!

🐚

Azul watched as Floyd was now surrounded by many human books, some full of human stories that no one could understand. It was causing Jade to laugh at how Floyd was a mess underneath the pile.

🐚

And ready to know what the people know

Ask 'em my questions and get some answers

What's a fire, and why does it - what's the word?

Burn?

🐚

Azul couldn't believe what was happening. It was filling with fear and he was admittedly astonished at how despite Azul's warnings, Floyd still treated the human world like it was a wonder not a horror. It was also horrifying, at the thought of his friend getting hurt by those menaces above.

🐚

When's it our turn?

Wouldn't we love, love to explore that shore up above?

🐚

They looked up at a beautiful gleam of light that gave their scales a glow and looked at each other. Floyd saw the light above him and felt his heart ache more as he knew his wish would be impossible.

🐚

Out of the sea

Wish I could be

Part of that world…

🐚

Jade swam over to Floyd, carefully holding his hand. "You must really be curious about it."

"Yeah," Floyd sighed sadly. "I mean…If it weren't for Goldfishie or this stuff, I would've never discovered the land above and everything about it." He looks back at Jade. "Is it selfish? I feel like it's selfish."

"No, to me, you just need some more adventure and I can understand that. If there was a way up there, I would join you."

"Really!?" Floyd gasps with a grin.

"No! No no no!" Called Azul, emerging from his hiding place, almost collapsing as he did. "I can't believe you two! Thinking of this stuff! Joining humans in their murderous endeavors!"

"How long have you been here?" Jade questioned.

"Long enough for me to say, going up there is a bad, horrible and dangerous idea!"

"Azul, we get it," Floyd groaned. "Your mom told us some stupid horror stories about humans. We know."

"This isn't about my mother's horror stories," Azul hissed. "This is completely different. The fact that you want to live up there is…is horrendous. And I don't care if I'm harsh."

"You are being very harsh," Jade mumbled. "Look, Azul. We know about the dangers and sure, Floyd is reckless, but he isn't stupid."

"That's right," Floyd huffs. "But you keep focusing on the bad and never the good. Like all of this stuff!" Floyd mentions his collection, making Azul look around. "Some of the stuff that we didn't even know existed. And humans have so many interesting stories, legends, and myths that make me want to know more."

"Knowing more is the problem," Azul spoke. "Don't you remember that old story of the mermaid princess? She fell in love with a human, but that human left her to become seafoam after he married someone else! It's a cautionary tale for a reason, Floyd. Merfolk and humans do not mix, and they will do anything to harm us if they ever see us."

"And what about us harming them? Cursing humans for just wanting to know more about us?" Floyd snarled. "We hurt them too."

"It is for our protection." Azul defended. "Humans taint our waters, don't you understand, Floyd?"

"Azul, we both do not understand," Jade intervened. "Humans have never sunk into our waters, so I am positive they don't even know we exist. We know how to keep our distance most of the time, and Floyd is just curious and in love."

"That's another problem," Azul sighs in defeat. "Floyd, consider this warning as a friend, but I worry about what could happen when you are up there, and I forever will. Just please, please reconsider it."

Before Floyd could answer, sparks of lights appeared above them, immediately grabbing Floyd's attention. He rushed out to see what it was and the shadow of a boat with sparks of color above them.

"What is that?" Jade questioned, looking up, "it's so bright."

"Trouble, that's what," Azul groaned, "Floyd, I highly advise we- don't you listen to anything!?"

Floyd was already swimming quickly above the waters, followed by Jade and a very reluctant Azul.

❝ I deserve all the sun / I can get, and all the blue-gold sky I want around me.❞ ⤷ ON REPEAT: CRANES IN THE SKY BY SOLANGE.

[ … ] ❀ you’re not from around here , are you? i figured because you totally just missed { ADELINE ‘AD’ HENDRICKS } walking by. don’t tell me you don’t know who { SHE } is ? they kind of look like { LAURA HARRIER } and i could be wrong but i think that they might be { 31 } years old right now. they’ve been living in palmview for the last { SIXTEEN YEARS ON AND OFF }. and i don’t know if anyone has ever told them this before but they kind of remind me of { MARGO HANSON } from { THE MAGICIANS }. if you stick around the town long enough you might catch them in action working at { HER PARENTS HOME } as a { STAY AT HOME DAUGHTER }. you see this town isn’t really that big of a place, some folks like to call them the { THE VISUALISTA } of palmview! they took a liking to the name too after a while, go figure. oh crap, they must have heard me yapping. they’re coming this way. i got to warn you though, rumor has it they can pretty { DRAMATIC } at times. i wouldn’t take it too seriously though, from the times i’ve spoken to them they seemed pretty { SELF-ASSURED } to me. we see each other all the time since they live in that { FOUR } apartment beside me over in { EMERALDPOINT 5/22 PACIFIC DR }. i better leave you to it. it was nice meeting you!

CHARACTER PARALLELS: Toni Childs ( Girlfriends ), Kelly Kapoor ( The Office ), Heather Davis ( Crazy Ex-Girlfriend ), Zoe Johnson ( Black-ish ), Donna Meagle ( Parks and Recreation ), Ava Coleman ( Abbot Elementary ), Alexis Rose ( Schitt's Creek ), Rachel Green ( Friends ), Jeanie Bueller ( Ferris Bueller's Day Off ), Candace Flynn ( Phineas & Ferb )

Adeline Hendricks knew she was always destined for something fantastic -- hopefully & aspiration-ally it would be life changing wealth. Even if her clothes, bank account and life didn't show it. Her parents always supported her and her brother's dreams ( and delusions ) to the best of their ability. So one day, when the family decides to move to LA for Juju's acting career -- she's not too shocked. Or upset. They were getting the hell out of Florida. The minute they land and she sees the palm trees that looked just like the ones back at home, she knew she was where she was meant to be.

It was the details for AD, the t h i n g s that made up the bigger picture. While Julian would admire the way the actors acted, she would fall into the sets, costumes, how it was run, the actual ORCHESTRATION of these fantasies, how to build a life out of things. It was fascinating. She loved her gadgets & gizmos a plenty, the glitzy, the jewels, the finer things in life some would say but she was equally fascinating in producing, arranging, and building them. It seemed like the only time that working seemed appealing to her. To know that the hours she spent drawing could be helpful in the visualization and production of those things motivated her. For some, art was an extension of their soul but for her it was an extension of her mind.

Fitting right in with her classmates, as Julian started to gain fame she realized she was close to what she had really wanted all along. But it wasn't hers. But they were close -- until Juju couldn't handle it. At 14 almost 15, having to move back to Palmview felt like the end of the world. Crying on the plane all the way home, AD was devastated beyond belief. Those same palm trees that were comforting to see in LA were a cruel reminder of where she wasn't. While her brother is now one of her best friends, she could admit that that may have been the only time she felt a deep resentment towards him being born -- because it was a realization of how much her life had been about him. They didn't factor at all what she wanted and it birthed the aspect of her personality that is motivated her to get what she wants. Or at least, want what she wanted without shame.

Her return to LA for college was not a shock to a single person in her life, neither was the acceptance to USC -- where many of her previous friends had gone. Adeline was accepted into their prestigious film school and really life was a dream for a while. Palmview faded away, just like the resentment, the anger, any of it. The hard work paid off, the hours of movies with Julian, everything did as she found her way onto film & tv sets. Maybe not in the exact capacity she wanted to be in but she did. Any job she could take she did, after graduation traveling between states, countries & continents for filming learning both the language of her craft and the language of the place itself along the way. A tattoo for each place she visited, nothing huge but her version of collecting post cards or art.

The years flew by before she knew -- she was thirty and lost. Not advancing in her career the way she wanted, knowing that these things took time to develop though the push and pull of the industry was not easy on her. The added failed relationships, fading friendships, what did she have to show for herself? It nagged at her, maybe she wasn't meant for this. If Julian had gotten to where he wanted to be so quickly -- why couldn't she? Moving out of LA, her beautiful apartment, was not something she wanted to do but it didn't make sense for her to keep. Not when work wasn't as steady as it should've been and jobs on sets became harder to find. Not when she was tired in a way that reminded her of her brother when he was younger, strained under the weight of the work & lack of purpose in the passion of it. AD showed up at her parents doorstep for a 'visit' with most of her things already shipped back to her childhood home -- stating that she needed the break away. If they could support Julian, now�� was her time to be supported to not have to pay rent while she regrouped. While AD knows it's only a matter of time before her next big job -- she's letting herself rest for the first time in her life. Home was, after all, where her family was and they were all in PALMVIEW. Ew.

Somewhere That’s Green & Part of Your World Side by Side

Oh we’re just friends! I could never be Seymour’s girl. I’ve got a past. I don’t even deserve a sweet, considerate, suddenly successful guy like Seymour.

If only I could make him understand. I just don't see things the way he does. I don't see how a world that makes such wonderful things could be bad.

I know Seymour's the greatest But I'm dating a semi-sadist So I've got a black eye And my arm's in a cast Still, that Seymour's a cutie Well, if not, he's got inner beauty And I dream of a place Where we could be together at last

Look at this stuff Isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my collection's complete? Wouldn't you think I'm the girl The girl who has everything? Look at this trove Treasures untold How many wonders can one cavern hold? Looking around here you'd think Sure, she's got everything I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty I've got whozits and whatzits galore You want thingamabobs? I've got twenty! But who cares? No big deal I want more

A matchbox of our own A fence of real chain link, A grill out on the patio Disposal in the sink A washer and a dryer and an ironing machine In a tract house that we share Somewhere that's green

I wanna be where the people are I wanna see, wanna see 'em dancin' Walking around on those, what do you call 'em? Oh, feet

He rakes and trims the grass He loves to mow and weed I cook like Betty Crocker And I look like Donna Reed There's plastic on the furniture To keep it neat and clean In the Pine-Sol scented air Somewhere that's green

Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far Legs are required for jumping, dancing Strolling along down a, what's that word again? Street Up where they walk, up where they run Up where they stay all day in the sun Wanderin' free, wish I could be Part of that world

Between our frozen dinner And our bedtime, nine-fifteen We snuggle watchin' Lucy On our big, enormous twelve-inch screen

What would I give if I could live out of these waters? What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand? Bet'cha on land they understand Bet they don't reprimand their daughters Bright young women, sick of swimmin' Ready to stand

I'm his December Bride He's Father, he Knows Best Our kids play Howdy Doody As the sun sets in the west A picture out of Better Homes and Gardens magazine

And ready to know what the people know Ask 'em my questions and get some answers What's a fire and why does it, what's the word Burn? When's it my turn? Wouldn't I love, love to explore that shore up above?

Far from Skid Row I dream we'll go Somewhere that's green

Out of the sea Wish I could be Part of that world

#I love both these songs sm #little shop of horrors #little shop #lsoh #audrey lsoh #audrey little shop of horrors #audrey fulquard #somewhere that's green #the little mermaid #little mermaid #disney ariel #princess ariel #ariel #part of your world

First Date

Summary: Danny and (Time)keeper's first date! Hopefully it goes as planned!

Note: Written for @thestarsarefalling017 and their characters, Danny and Time.

Once the final touches to the food were made, Danny stood back from the feast she had prepared. Wiping her hands cleans on the rag draped over the stove handle, the girl took survey of all the different foods she wanted Time to try. She’d definitely stepped out of her comfort zone this time; she was more use to single-serve meals that she would prepare herself. But Time was worth it.

Today was a special day; after all, it wasn’t often that Time took a break that lasted longer than ten minutes—if you could even call those breaks. Breathers, maybe—preparations for what came next, definitely.

When Danny had first learned about the amount of breaks her girlfriend would take (or the lack therefore of), the woman grew nervous. She didn’t want to be perceived as the worrying girlfriend right off the bat (they were still defining their relationship, for starters!), but she couldn’t help but worry about Time’s well-being.

Danny’s girlfriend had no idea what was waiting for her when she got to Danny’s; Danny wanted it to be a surprise, so she kept everything on the down-low. But with the disappearance of mechanical projects that started in the living room and ended on the kitchen table, the mysterious stains that smelled suspiciously of oil that stained her counters, and the clothing she’d been too lazy to put into a hamper, it was clear something was up. It wasn’t like her house mysterious grew a floor, after all!

Carrying the platters to the fold-out kitchen table, Danny began to lay them out, finally taking a breather. Her eyes glanced up at the clock hanging up. 5:45. She’d asked Time to come by her house around six, meaning she still had plenty of time to spare.

Leaning forward, the mechanic began to light a single red candle, fanning out the match. There. Everything was perfect. Hopefully. She wasn’t sure if she overdid it, as romance wasn’t exactly in her repertoire; gadgets and gizmos had been some of her best friends, even from a young age. But that all changed once she met Time. She hadn’t even expected to fall so hard for the magic-wielding girl.

She sat down, watching the candle burning as the wax drip down the side of the candle, pooling at the bottom. The clumps grew larger in size the longer the candle burnt for, collecting at the bottom in a waxy puddle.

6:30. Maybe Time had forgotten? Maybe something had happened to her and made her late? There was a list of things that could be the cause. Danny wasn’t trying to psyche herself out or anything, but as time continued on she felt her nerves expanding into a ball that settled in her gut.

Her head felt heavy as time caught up to her, her chin nodding against her chest. The sound of knocking rouse her from her nap. She went to investigate, opening the door to a flustered Time.

“Danny! I’m so sorry, Elton required my assistance. We didn’t finish ‘til sunset.” Time was on the doorstep, her left eye ticking at a slow and steady pace. She wasn’t lying; whatever Elton needed help with must’ve taken a lot out of her.

“It’s fine.” Danny stifled a yawn against her bicep. “You don’t have to apologize, I figured something happened.” Stepping out of the way, she invited her girlfriend inside. “Do you need anything to drink?”

“Just water is fine,” Time said as she followed Danny inside. Her brown hair was mussed, her skin had a soft flush to it, and her clothes stuck to her body. Had she hurried to get here?

Danny walked into the kitchen, her brain more focused on getting Time comfortable. She hadn’t even thought about the meal she’d prepared, shaking off the bits of sleep that still lingered.The food wasn’t any good now, anyways. Not that she minded, she was just focused on making Time as comfortable as possible.

Time, on the other hand, did take notice. She noticed it as soon as she followed Danny into the kitchen, the glowing clock on the front of her cloak lighting up the dim room. First, the flickering of something in the corner of her eye caught her attention.

As she turned her head to look at the source, her eyes caught the food. Her body turned rigid. “Um, Danny?” She asked. Her voice was only a notch higher than the rushing water as Danny filled her glass up. “What’s all this?”

“Hm?” Danny turned around, glass in hand. “Oh, yeah. I wanted to surprise you to a homemade dinner.” Rubbing the back of her head, she assessed the food spread out. “Since, you know. You don’t get a lot of breaks.”

“Danny, you should have told me!” Time’s normally neutral expression broke, her frown pinching her features. “I would’ve made sure to get here on time!” She felt terrible, the realization dawning on her that Danny had spent so much effort and time on her, only for it to go to waste. “I’ll make it up to you—”

“Time, I’m not angry.” But Time kept talking. Here she was, giving her time to other people, trying to stop the apocalypse from happening, only to causing someone else to be hurt in the end. “And I—” There was a pause, the quiet ticking of her eye the only sound in the room. “You’re not?”

Danny reached up, her calloused fingers brushing over the flush to Time’s cheeks. “Of course not; I could never be mad at you.” “But I made you waste your day.” Time made a wide wave towards the forgotten food. “You made all this food and—”

“Yeah, it was a lot of food.” Danny shrugged. “But you still came over. That’s what matters. I wanted to spend time with you.” Time wasn’t used to this sort of kindness, at least from someone who wasn’t after the same cause as she was. She remained silent, her brown brows pinched together as her gaze flickered over Danny’s face.

But Danny was smiling. She didn’t look angry, or upset, or even annoyed. “Look, I know how hard it is for you even to think about taking a break.” Danny’s hand retracted. “The fact you even took a break—even if you were late—means more than you know.” Danny lightly jabbed Time in the arm, playful as can be. “It means you’re trying. That’s a lot more than people normally do.”

Before Time had the chance to even think about going back and time and righting this event, the upturned eyebrow and coy look in Danny’s eyes rooted her to the ground.

“Don’t,” Danny mumbled, reaching out to grab her by the shoulder. “Seriously, I’m not mad.” She gave a light squeeze of her shoulder. “I don’t want you going back in time, cuz then I wouldn’t get to remember this with you in the future.” Her eyes crinkled as she smiled. “It’ll be a good memory to keep onto.”

Time’s resolved crumbled before her, the mere thought of even using her powers to fix this mistake disappear just as quickly as they came. Perhaps that was the beauty of time; sometimes, even the smallest events could make memories that would last a lifetime.

“I’ll still make it up to you,” Time whispered. Her hand met Danny’s on her shoulder.

Danny’s eyes lit up, her sharp teeth on display as she smiled. “Great. That means you can set up the next date night,” she teased.

“Date night?” Both woman looked at one another, both realizing the implication of ‘date night’.

“I mean, uh… if you wanna call it that.” Danny shrugged, not looking too bothered as she grinned at her girlfriend. “We don’t have to go all out. We can always watch something, maybe take a walk, take a class or something. You know, whenever you have a break.” It was Time’s turn to smile, her heart skipping in time with the ticking of her clock. “I’d like that,” she whispered, leaning up to kiss Danny’s cheek. “I’d like that a lot.” “Great! Uh… I’m going to go clean up,” Danny said, snapping her fingers to the food. “Do you want to find something to watch?” They both parted their separate ways, both women elated for the date in progress. Even though it had a rocky start, this first date would never be forgotten.

Can we get facts about MCs family members both alive and dead ? So brothers, cousins, mother and father. What did MCs parents think of their children ? What type of parents were they ? (Sorry if it’s too many questions at once).

I had to sit on this until I released the demo to avoid some spoilers. Sorry for the delay!

Now let’s drop some fun facts:

(Spoilers for the demo below!)

Alberich:

Loves cheeses and wine. He typically prefers savory food

He’s a work-a-holic, so he prefers foods he can eat with his hand at his desk.

Likes reading trashy love novels in his down time.

100% a songbird. He paints silly pictures of cats when he’s bored.

He wears a very soft and elegant smelling floral perfume. It’s the same brand as his mother’s.

He hates hot climates and rain. The change in air pressure makes his stump ache ):

Sieghardt:

Loves sweets and baked goodies

A very talented cook.

He’s the kind of person to smuggle injured animals into his room to nurse back to health.

Cold and aloof, but really well respected by the younger Heath Knights. Sieg takes good care of them because they remind him of you.

Has stage fright.

Ledea (Mother)

The MC's entire world before she dies. Ledea was worried about bonding with the MC after birth, but when her husband dies, she becomes very protective of them.

The other boys might have suffered because of that though.

She was a very attentive and protective mother. She took the MC everywhere she went.

Became Duchess of Vagnyr after her Father dies in a hunting accident

Married her long time childhood best friend :)

Highly artistic and feminine. Alberich takes a lot after her.

Ledea loves all her children- in her own way. She didn’t(couldn’t) love them equally, however.

Vayne (Father)

He is dead before the MC is born so there isn’t any strong connection, only a sense of loss for what could have been.

It’s unknown who was born first between the Twin Princes, but Vayne was a popular successor due to his military record, but people were apprehensive of his more gentle nature.

Because of his duties as Prince, he was often away from home, but when he was home, he was a very active and present Father for the boys.

DIY dad that will build you a doll house mansion if you asked nicely with his bare hands.

He does build an entire birdhouse/flight pen for all the pigeons Sieghardt rescues. Even to this day, those pigeons and their off-spring circle the castle property because of it.

His children were his life. He would die for them. (And He did.)

Maeve (Empress)

gaslights gatekeep girlboss 💅

Regardless of the MCs opinion of her, she does consider them her baby. Ledea can go die in a hole.

What can go wrong when the crazy party aunt becomes your full time guardian??

Maeve is very indulgent and will coddle the MC, but she does live by the old ways of tough love.

She loooooves eating fruits, especially bite-sized ones, like grapes!

Tans very easily

Eirik

His Mother, Duchess Thrya gave birth to a bastard shortly after his father died, so he is very-not-okay.

He lives a very isolated life in his territory.

Loves fishing, swimming, sailing and collecting little seashells for his collection.

He’s got gadgets and gizmos a plenty…

His crew are ride or die for him so watch out!

#answered asks #Alberich #Sieghardt #Ledea #Vayne #Maeve #The Empress #Eirik

FEATURE: Add To Cart!: Young Entrepreneurs of UPIS and Their Businesses

The holidays are right around the corner! Looking for something to add to your wishlist? Or maybe you still don’t know what to give to your friends and family? Check out these entrepreneurs who’s got gadgets and gizmos a plenty! Let's take a closer look at these unique and affordable products from UPIS student-owned businesses.

Solaris Pins by Arianne Pablo

Have you ever wanted to wear your drawings on your bags? Or maybe you want affordable merchandise from your favorite anime, shows, and k-pop groups? Send in your designs to Solaris Pins to turn them into button pins!

Solaris Pins is a customized button pin business by Arianne Pablo of Batch 2027. You can send in your personal designs to Arianne and she will turn them into wearable button pins! The designs can be anything under the sun; some of the designs Arianne's clients have sent are pictures of their pets, their favorite album covers, their favorite character, and even their own artworks! As these pins are customizable, this is a perfect gift for anyone!

Her 1.5 inch glossy pins start at 20 php a piece. Discounts for wholesale or bulk orders are negotiable and are available starting at 20 pieces and above. You can even have the pins individually packed; how perfect for organizations or artists looking to sell their designs as merchandise!

Her love for collecting pins definitely ignited the passion for starting a button pin business.

Arianne’s joy from collecting pins turned into something bigger; it was now Arianne who is sharing and sparking joy among her customers!

“I wanted to start a business out of something I enjoyed doing,” she said. “The idea mostly came from my struggle to find merchandise of a certain video game I like, and anything that was available on the market was outside of my budget.” She then started making her own button pins so that she could save money and have no need to buy merchandise online.

The launching of Solaris Pins was made possible with the help of her friends and family, shared Arianne.

She said that her mother helped her manage the finance of the business while her friends helped her in her creative process. “She [my mother] helped me with the pricing of the products, as well as the calculations of everything down to the production costs and investment. On the creative side, I asked for advice from my friends regarding the aesthetics of the business's brand and the kind of products they would most likely buy.” It was a rocky start for Arianne but she persevered through the support she had.

The name Solaris Pins was also the result of Arianne brainstorming with her friends. It is actually inspired by a tale we might’ve heard from our childhood!

“...Icarus, who flew too close to the sun because of his own ambitions. Although the story is a bit grim, my friend insisted that I should use it as inspiration and 'shoot for the sun,' just as Icarus did,” said Arianne. Thus, Solaris came to be: Sol from the Roman sun god and Ari, Arianne's nickname.

Arianne shared that more sizes, types of button pins, and even her very own designs will be available in the future! Come create with Arianne and follow them on Instagram (@solaris.pins).

marli.knots by Marla Obnamia

What inspires you at the moment? Marla Obnamia from Batch 2029 definitely has some super cute and fluffy inspirations as seen in her business, marli.knots!

marli.knots offers handmade crochet keychains and charms all made from locally sourced materials. Marla shared that the designs she makes are from what currently inspires her!

These crochet goodies range from 15 php to 159 php.

I'm sure you can find a cute handmade trinket to give to your flower-loving loved ones here at marli.knots.

“I was drawn to crochet since it allowed me to create unique items with yarn, hook, and my hands,” said Marla.

Making crochet goods started as a hobby for Marla during the pandemic. Her sister, after seeing Marla's passion for crocheting, encouraged her to also start a business. (Marla's sister, Elle, is also featured in this article!) With her sister's support, she launched marli.knots last year on her birthday, January 21st, 2023!

“The name came from an inside joke of me and Ate Elle, my older sister, when we were at the mall. She randomly said ‘Marli, no’ when she was telling me to stop, and it continued to ‘Marli, not’ to ‘Marli, knot’.” She shared that it was the perfect name as her nickname is Marli, and her yarn would get tangled up whenever she crochets.

Marla's sister served as a big inspiration for her. The love and support from her family pushed Marla to step out of her comfort zone and start marli.knots!

Get looped in the crochet craze and support marli.knots in their social media platforms and website!

Asked about the origin of her business’ name, Mati shared, “The ultimate reason as to why I ended up with the name is because I wanted it to start with my initials (M.C.)! I looked for words, preferably those that could refer to a collection of charms and accessories, that started with my initials, and ended up with ‘charms miscellanea’"!

beadbadoobead by Elle Obnamia

Can't get enough of beaded accessories? We've got another business on our list that also sells them! These cute, crafty, and colorful accessories will surely get you tangled in love, stuck in the anik-anik frenzy–only here in beadbadoobead!

CEO Elle Obnamia of Batch 2025 also sells a variety of trinkets and accessories such as earrings, bracelets, necklaces, figurine keychains, and she even accepts customized orders! These accessories definitely emulate a fun and feminine vibe!

Elle's creations currently range from 15 php to 250 php; how affordable! I'm sure you will find a gift that fits your budget in beadbadoobead! To give you an idea on where to start browsing, her bestsellers are the Heart to Heart bracelet, Very Berry phone charm, and blind box keychains. She also shared her personal favorites: the Louise necklace and the Wonderful Pretty Cure inspired earrings, a custom request from one of her clients!

beadbadoobead has an interesting origin story; it actually started from a school requirement!

Elle and her group mates from Grade 10 started beadbadoobead together as a group project in Practical Arts. It started on March 23, 2023 and ended around May of the same year. Elle then decided to continue the business alone and launched her first collection last December 2023.

“Honestly, it was a big decision for our group to continue the business idea… After the group project, I saved all the money I got to start again from scratch. I didn’t want beadbadoobead go to (sic) waste after seeing its potential.”

After seeing the business’ potential, along with the support from the people around her, it gave her inspiration to start go solo. She also shared that she has always loved arts and crafts.

“I remember one time when my father used to make jokes when I was little, making little trinkets and crafts: ‘Uy, benta natin ‘yan gawa ka marami oh, ang ganda!’” She reminisced. “Little me would just laugh it off but who would tell her she’s doing exactly what the joke meant today? Other than that, I would say I am really a gift-giving person since birth. Making things like these make me happy and seeing people receive and buy them makes me happier. And that’s what beadbadoobead is!”

Elle saw potential and took the chance. Now, look at how much beadbadoobead has grown!

Wishlist: Starting a business. Where do you start?

Starting a business is hard, so how did they do it? It’s inspiring to see young students take a huge leap, start a business, and continue to operate alongside prioritizing their studies and other extracurricular activities!

“Being a student, I've found that the most difficult part of owning a small business is to balance my school, work, and personal life with how busy it gets. I learned to manage my time by adhering to a schedule and setting priorities for myself.”

Arianne acknowledges the added weight of being a small business owner as a student but is here to give a lot of advice for students who are interested in starting their own business: it all starts with planning. It might be stressful but is crucial to set the pacing of your workflow, she said. Organization is also important especially with financial matters. “Don't be shy and advertise your products, try to make pubmats if you can! (Dapat makapal mukha, hehehe!)” she shared; confidence is often overlooked when talking about business. Last but not least, Arianne reminds us that it's okay to take breaks and to always prioritize your health and well-being.

“As a student who owns a business, it has taught me how to manage time and have discipline. It has helped me set boundaries and practiced (sic) planning ahead. It has helped me keep up a good mindset because even small achievements motivate me,” Marla shared.

Having your own business will definitely teach you a lot of things! Marla's advice for you aspiring student-entrepreneurs is to start with something you're passionate about. She also reminds us to find the lesson in everything, “Take small steps and learn as you go. Each experience will teach you something valuable”. Marla's last reminder for us is to stay true to yourself and to enjoy!

Mati shared that by running charms miscellanea, she realized how much work needs to be put in the business to provide good quality service to her customers. “I also learned how truly important it is to enjoy your craft in order to continuously create new and improved products!”

Mati also shares that income is key to a business, but what's important is you enjoy the products you make!

“It is more important, in my eyes, to keep in mind that the more fun you have when creating your products, the more thought you will put into them. The care with which you make your products is definitely evident, so always make sure to enjoy what you are doing! It feels so much more accomplishing when you see somebody wear and use the things you'd created with such care, rather than just when you remember how much money you made upon selling them,” she shared.

As a student-entrepreneur, Elle shared that she learned the importance of balancing different parts of her life. beadbadoobead helped her be more approachable and it enhanced her communication skills! “This business taught me how to deal with problems, failures, and how to make use of my success to succeed even more. It also gives me self-value as I’m doing this all alone. It’s such an eye-opener that a lot of people love my crafts and their suggestions is (sic) never a negative thing to take, instead it is something the business would benefit from and is something my customers would like to see me do.”

They say that good things take time. Elle shares that aside from love and passion, you also need patience to be a successful student-entrepreneur.

“Start with something you love, continue doing it with love and patience, and people will love what you do.”

It's inspiring to see these entrepreneurs start young and create their own business whilst being a student! Daunting it may be, we can see that these entrepreneurs enjoy what they do, we see the effort and love they give for to their products and customers, and we see the patience each one of them has for their business; it truly is admirable!

My wishlist surely did get longer! Did you see anything you liked? Well, what are you waiting for? Visit and follow these UPIS student-owned small businesses!

Yesterday I put on The Little Mermaid for our put bird Yoshi..... I hadn't seen the movie in a long time, but when Part Of That World came on, well..... I basically felt then and there that that song could be Junko's anthem from when she was living in the Soul Society before she got pregnant, and how back then, she yearned for a more free life where she wasn't confined by the Soul Society's rules. I also imagined maybe like Ariel, she had a close friend who she could confide in about her desires for that sort of freedom, and Hanataro felt like a good candidate to play Flounder's role here, so, enjoy this attempt of me mixing Bleach and Disney together of all things, while changing some of the lyrics so it makes sense for this context xD Hey, you can watch Bleach on Disney+ now if you also have Hulu, so it makes sense, right?

*Junko is currently shut away in her secret room where she keeps a collection of different items she's managed to find for herself after every mission in the human world, seeming lost in thought after an argument with Genryusai, Hanataro there to provide comfort as her friend*

Hanataro: Junko?.... Are you okay?

Junko:*spinning the bottom of a stick of lip balm she recently found in the human world, making the lipstick move in and out repeatedly*..... If only I could make my father understand..... I just don't see things the way he does..... I don't see how it can be such a bad thing to just.... want more than what's down here, you know?......

🎶 Look at this stuff

Isn't it neat?

Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?

Wouldn't you think I'm the girl

The girl who has everything?

Look at this trove

Treasures untold

How many wonders can one cavern hold?

Looking around here you'd think

Sure, she's got everything

I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty

I've got whozits and whatzits galore

You want thingamabobs?

I've got twenty!

But who cares?

No big deal

I want more

I wanna be where the people are

I wanna see, wanna see em dancing

Walking around in those.... what do they call them? Oh, shopping malls!

Hunting Hollows daily, you don't get too far

Up there, you don't have to bow down to anyone

You can just stroll down the streets with only your say in your life

Up where they walk, up where they run

Up where they stay all day in the sun

Wanderin' free, wish I could be

Part of that world

What would I give, if I could live among the living?

What would I pay to spend a day where the rules aren't so binding?

Bet'cha up there, they understand

Bet they don't reprimand their daughters.....

Bright young women..... sick of being trapped.....

Ready to live

And ready to know what the people know

Ask 'em my questions and get some answers

When's it my turn?

Wouldn't I love, love to explore that world up above?......

Out of the Soul Society.....

Wish i.... could be......

Part of that world 🎶

*Junko and Hanataro both spend that time afterwards staring up at the sky through the screen door to Junko's room, Junko having a longing look in her eyes while Hanataro's eyes are full of a mix of curiosity for the human world, and sadness for his friend when he sees how much she wants more out of her life...... Suddenly, the moment is interrupted as a figure spying on them from behind some of Junko's collectibles falls over, making a loud noise as everything falls over with them. As Hanataro hides in a panic, Junko quickly looks to where the noise came from, seeing the one spying on her and Hanataro was none other than Izuru Kira*

Junko: !!!!!!!!! Izuru????

Izuru;*groans as he pushes himself up, trying to untangle himself from her collectibles* Junko! What-- how--.... What is all this?????

Junko: Oh, uh.... Just my collection ^v^

Hanataro;*slowly comes out of his hiding spot nervously*

Izuru: Collection.... I see........ *eyes widen in panic* Junko, if your father knew about all of this--

Hanataro: You're not gonna tell him, are you????

Izuru: I--.......*sighs and looks down* Fine.... I won't say anything. Just....... I don't know, tone it down? I don't even see how you'll be able to fit anymore human memorabilia here at this point....... *sees some of the clothes she somehow smuggled here from the human world*..... How were you even able to get a hold of these??

Junko:.........*shrugs* I have my ways....... I don't know, it gets boring wearing these robes all the time. I'll let you borrow some of them if you want.

Izuru:*sees they're all women's clothing*...... No thank you......*sighs* Your secret is safe with me........ Even if your father would have my head for this.......

Junko:*hugs him tightly* Oh, thank you thank you so much Izuru! I owe you, big time for this!

Izuru: Hey....... *whispers* Just consider this my payback for you keeping my secret that I like Shuhei......

#bleach #bleach oc #junko yamamoto #hanataro yamada #izuru kira #little mermaid #the little mermaid #disney #yes i also ship shuhei and izuru together #shuhei x izuru #also for some reason i felt izuru was somewhat fitting to fill in sebastian's role here

Octavia tends to let the other person lead because even in bed she always wants to learn, with that said, she would try anything if it was new and exciting.

Octavia does not like when things are bland and repetitive, conversely, things that are new and exciting are a turn on

3. Octavia can take a while to actually reach her climax as her mind will focus on trying to remember exact details (or worse, sometimes she will actively take notes during if she's able.)

4. Her ears are incredibly sensitve

5.The easiest way to seduce Octavia is an academic conversation where you are both listening and sharing. She wants to know all about your special interests and areas of expertise and also feel that you are interested in hers. She is far too used to people just pretending to be polite, or worse have a chance at her.

6.Octavia believes it is healthy and conducive to a good night's sleep to always pleasure herself before bed. 7.Her favorite position is using psionics to levitate and going from there. 8. When Octavia's magic began to manifest and her people learned how powerful she actually was, she had a lot of suitors, but the one who stuck out was a cocky female raider around her own age who was visiting from another Creche. They were paired up for an information gathering excursion and ended up sharing a bedroll. Although she died years ago in a raid, Octavia still cherishes her memory and loves her. 9. Octavia, true to her first experience, prefers sex on the road as it stays vivid and exciting. 10. There isn't really such a thing as 'caught' living in a Creche. Your people are aware it happens and sort of don't take a second look. This makes Istik somewhat uncomfortable. 11. Loud, but not in the way you would think. She will sometimes verbally review her notes during new and exciting experiences. 12. Octavia has gadgets and gizmos a plenty. She's got whozzits and whatzzits galore. You want thingabobs? She's got 20. 13. It depends greatly on what is most interesting, she is very happy to teach as well as learn, however. 14. Not as often as she would like. Octavia's inquisitive nature can be very off putting and so casual encounters are hard to come by. When she's with a partner, fairly regularly though. 15. Octavia's biggest sexual desire currently (it changes) is to be allowed to watch Halsin and Sentry have sex. She is unfamiliar with Tiefling mating and also the shapes and sizes of various creature cocks. Halsin probably wouldn't mind, but Sentry might need some time to come around to the idea. Also she realizes Gale might not be too happy with the idea either. 16. Field researcher. Octavia doesn't even need to be the one actually having sex, it's just another kind of study for her, just one that can be arousing. The joy of discovery is what truly gets her off, not necessarily being touched. 17. Octavia's bra size is probably around a 36 C 18. She will tend to re-read her latest sex based research notes. 19. Octavia is pansexual 20. Believe it or not, Octavia likes to watch. 21. She doesn't consider it weird, but the most interesting was astral sex with Gale. 22. Octavia likes to be kissed on the wrist or palm because it feels most intimate to her since she uses her hands to cast. 23. Octavia's worst sex experience is (luckily) not as traumatic as my other characters. She was once flirted with by a human in one of the towns she stayed in. They had a nice talk, they both consented, they retired to his bedroom...and had sex in a single position at a moderate pace on the mattress of the bed the whole time and cuddled in silence after with no discussion. 24. When Octavia tests new toys, she always experiences multiple orgasms. It is the highlight of the sex and mating aspect of her research. 25. Probably a normal amount, it's only one part of her vast research. 26. Octavia is very comfortable and happy with her body. She is used to being considered beautiful or attractive, but she also understands her people have a certain reputation so she doesn't take people finding her frightening or ugly to heart. 27. Sex with Octavia can last hours once she gets a hypothesis or a research question going. 28. Octavia prefers sex to be as natural as possible, laughter can happen. 29. Octavia may not be quite the artist Sentry is, but she is very good at drawing detailed genitalia.
