Dont ever feel ashamed for being a little

A little is the same child from when your body was that age, the child just stuck around!

Regardless of why, that child is still special and deserves to be loved and to be safe

That child isn’t too old to be happy!

They’ve just been around for longer than other little kids, so don’t be ashamed if you like different things now then when your body was younger! Alot changes but you’re still valid and deserve to be loved!

You’re special and deserve to be safe and cared for just like any other little kid, even if you’ve been around longer than most little kids or have different needs or interests!

♡ Intimate Moments | Sophie & Sean |GENEVA ISLAND

~ Transcript below ~

* Sean walks into kitchen where Blakes and Sophie are chatting *

Se : *to himself* Man, what does this chef have that I don’t… Bullsh*t.

So : You are the cutest thing ever! I am so excited to… oh, hey Sean, what’s up?

Se : Hey Sophie. I just wanted to have a quick chat… As you know, we have been spending a lot of time together lately… and I’ve loved getting to know you…

So : Same here Sean… but can we talk later? I was in the middle of a conversation with Blakes.

Se : Well actually I have something important to ask you first… Sophie, would you do me the honor of being my girlfriend?

So : Sean… I… I thought we talked about this… I see you as a friend ONLY… and what about Autumn? Have you even thought this through?? The answer is no.

Se : But we get along so well togeth-

So : No Sean... I can’t believe this… I think we need to spend some time apart, I need to be alone to think about our friendship�� whatever is left of that now.

* Sean walks away sad *

B: Don’t let him stress you out Sophie, you can only tell him so many times right?

So : Yeah you’re right, but I do care about him… Just not in that way.

B : You did what you had to do. Just keep staying true to yourself. It’s all you can do.

LATER

* Sean and Rowan are sitting in the bedroom together *

R : You got this man, you are awesome! And if she can’t see that, then it’s her loss.

Se : Thanks Rowan. I’ve just never been in a situation like this before. One day here is like one week in the real world, it’s all moving so fast… especially the way I feel about her… I’m gonna go see if she will talk to me yet.

R : Sounds good, and remember, no matter what happens, you have us, your friends.

* Sean walks into kitchen *

So : Hey Sean… About earlier... I just... well you know how I feel, I think you’re a great friend, but that’s it.

Se : It’s fine I guess, but you can’t blame me for shooting my shot, can you?

→ it’s never something they officially put a name to, although sophie and nate put an extensive about of research into it in bursts, even as they learn as they go. it’s just something that is sometimes.

→ board games and movie nights are a big thing they try and do sometimes, even as some of them still deny wanting to do such ‘family events’. board games always end up interesting when none of them are what can be called a good loser, or tolerant winner.

→ they never try and assign ages to anything, not wanting to complicate things into being uncomfortable; but there is still that established dynamic. nate and sophie take great delight in looking after their brats, sophie and eliot take turns being the smallest between them, and hardison gloats endlessly about being older than them both. it usually gets him kicked.

→ despite not having an established guideline and set way everything plays out, nate and sophie did come up with a set of loose, yet enforced rules for whenever any of them were feeling small; to drink enough water and eat enough food, get a decent amount of sleep, and that they’ll say something if they start feeling small during a con. it annoys the trio endlessly that they exist; even if the care is secretly nice

→ sophie brings home little trinkets whenever she goes off to do a job, or go travelling somewhere; she brings home gifts and such that always become treasured objects in the house

hi sarah. feel free to delete this if it’s too much, but do you know of any work (academic, personal essays, art, etc) about grieving someone who’s died to suicide/wishing they were alive while also grappling with how to square it with your anti-psych, anti-carceral, pro-bodily autonomy politics? for reference i’ve read Alexandre Baril’s paper on Suicidism before and may revisit it in this light, as well as aleks thom's writing on disenfranchised grief and your lovely recent poem about suicide, but i’m sort of at a loss about where to look for other work about the intersection of these specific topics. many thanks and much love in advance

thank you so much for asking! i feel strange saying "i'm sorry for your loss" because it's clichéd and trite and you've heard it a billion times before. i am sorry, though, and i am equally sorry that you carry your loss into a world that is so deeply hostile to everyone affected by suicide – loved ones, those who have attempted, those who have completed, those who are dealing with suicidal thoughts, all of us.

i think that perhaps the most useful thing to remember is a bit simpler and a lot more challenging than can be conveyed in a paper or poem. it's that peoples' bodyminds are their own, including when they treat said bodyminds in ways we on the outside don't like. this is true for people who do all manner of "unhealthy" and "self-harmful" things, and as loved ones, it's incredibly fucking hard to witness, especially when the consequences are deadly.

suicide grief, and in general, work by loved ones and caregivers to those of us who experience extreme states, is pretty tough to find in the area of Mad studies. this is partially justified, given the degree to which we've all been spoken over and around by abusive "caregivers." yet it also denies the simultaneity embedded in basically any Mad community: we are all both, because we're all together and hurting at once.

i actually have two friends who have written about their own experiences as suicidal + Mad people who have lost close people to suicide: MT Vallerta, a scholar-poet [check out In Memoriam], and poet S.G. Huerta [you should read their poetry book, Last Stop].

Sophie Lewis also wrote an intriguing piece that touches on suicidality, death doulaing, and kinship.

Emily Krebs studies suicide/bereavement from a Mad crip abolitionist perspective, and is worth checking out.

i think it's also a good idea to remember that a way to honor those who have completed suicide is to take better care of suicidal people who are still alive. it only does more harm to suicidal people to approach ideation/attempts carcerally, and indeed encourages more covert, risky, and isolated methods rather than open dialogue. here are some ways to honor - not only support, but truly honor, trust, and respect suicidal people:

candidly speak about death, self-harm, and "dark thoughts" - and what to do around them - before and outside of immediate crises. be explicit in your intentions to support those who are actively suicidal before the next crisis occurs. ask people their preferences - who should you call? is the hospital ever on the table, and if so, under what conditions? who will be there to advocate for them when interacting with carceral authorities?

be candid about how their actions affect you, without placing blame. when someone attempts suicide, everyone they love is affected. this is not the person's fault, but it is something that needs to be addressed in community. here's an example from my own life: a dear friend was forcibly hospitalized after an attempt. i had been a main support person of hers in previous crises, when we lived near each other. when we spoke about her experience months later, i admitted that i felt "guilty" and as though i had somehow caused her to be institutionalized by living in a different place now. she admitted to me that she felt "guilty" for having "let [her loved ones] down" and "letting" her health deteriorate. we were able to find comfort and commonality in our affective experiences, and have become better friends for it.

cool it with the solutions. ask for consent before doing anything, but especially giving advice. many people kill themselves, or try to, because they feel cornered - often for very logical reasons (poverty, oppression, abuse/complex trauma). the adage that a poor person probably has more financial wisdom than a rich advice-giver holds true here, so don't immediately offer tips unless they've asked for them. sometimes, suicidality isn't connected to anything concrete, either, or a person's reasoning doesn't "make sense" (duh). if someone has the courage and trust to come to you with their feelings of suicidality, what they need most is someone to listen, to take them seriously, and to afford them the same personhood that they would have otherwise.

when people disclose thoughts of suicide, they take an immense risk in terms of their safety and credibility, and they do so because it is not possible to be a person alone. but, we also need to hold simultaneously that the individuals who do their best to support a loved one, but are not equipped to do so, are also not at fault for somehow "killing" them. suicide is incredibly complex, and suicide grief perhaps even moreso than other types of grief.

i also don't have concrete answers as to what to do about this conflict between our emotions around suicide - wanting to save a person we love, wanting them to stop hurting, being willing to do anything to keep them around - and imagining a world against and beyond the institution in all its permutations. but i know we will move toward it together through open conversation and trust and collective risk. much love and respect to you for asking such a challenging question during a heartbreaking time. <3

�� — is that STEVIE LIU i just saw walking around kilmer’s cove? i heard they’re a RESIDENT who’s been here for TWENTY-FOUR YEARS. it slipped my mind, since they just tend to hang out at THE CEMETARY. at face value, they’re said to be SELF-ASSURED and LOYAL, but i don’t know… some people have said they can be quite ARROGANT and ABRASIVE. just don’t get on their bad side, i guess! don’t tell them i told you this, but i’ve heard they DO NOT believe in all the ghost stories around town. who knows what the future holds for them! (sophie, she/her, gmt-8)

full name: stevie liu hometown: kilmer, ri sexuality: pansexual gender: ciswoman, she/her occupation: bartender birthday: december 12th, 1998 zodiac: sagittarius height: 5'1" languages spoken: english, mandarin traits: self-assured, loyal, arrogant, sarcastic face claim: brianne tju

── .✦ background

stevie was born the youngest child to melati and haitao liu. her parents are immigrants, who worked tirelessly to provide a stable life for her and her older brother, peter. stevie was one of those kids who was too smart for their own good. the type that would cause trouble and then shamelessly argue their way out of any consequences. though an irksome trait, it served her well through school. stevie graduated with great grades and was encouraged by her family to follow through with her dreams of law school.

around the time stevie was accepted into school, her parents grew ill. melati had developed cancer and a few months later, haitao was gravely injured in a fall. stevie's brother, peter, stayed in kilmer's cove to care for them.

however, tragedy struck halfway through her studies when peter tragically passed away in a car accident. with no other family in the states and her parents unable to work, stevie had no choice but to drop out of school and move back home to care for them. though stevie holds out hope of one day returning to her studies and becoming a lawyer, she is plagued by self-doubt and grief. these feelings often manifest as arrogance and abrasion when trying to connect with others.

── .✦ personality

stevie is sharp-tongued, equal parts intelligent and stubborn. as a child she was always testing boundaries, questioning rules, and talking her way out of trouble. she rarely accepts help from others. however, the grief of losing her brother and the shift to becoming the sole caregiver to her ailing parents has left her hardened. stevie developed a defensive edge. she can come across as arrogant and dismissive. "no one has it worse than me". still, stevie demonstrates an unwavering sense of loyalty to the people she loves, which is shown more often through actions than words.

── .✦ headcanons

makes it a point to visit her brother's grave regularly, often talking to him as if he were still there.

deeply skeptical when it comes to relationships, she often brushes off romantic advances convinced they only lead to pain and loss

loves reading fantasy books & closeted D&D player.

has a black cat named nyx

more to come !

── .✦ connections

childhood friend: just two people who lost touch, maybe enemies now because stevie changed and is kind of a jerk

unlikely duo: they shouldn't be friends but somehow they just make sense fr

older brother's friend: could potentially be an interesting connection, maybe they're friends. or maybe they hated each other but the passing of her brother brought them closer and then like we hooked up and now it's weird !

past situationships/ exes always welcome!

friendships of all kinds welcome!

coworkers welcome!

mess always welcome!

are there any books you'd recommend for Isabelle of Angouleme?

Hi! I’m really not an expert on Isabella of Angouleme so I'm probably not the best person to ask for recommendations for her. Here are some I've heard of, though I haven't read all of them:

"Isabella of Angouleme: John's Jezebel" by Nicholas Vincent (King John: New Interpretations). I haven't read it myself but I've heard good things!

“Maternal Abandonment and Surrogate Caregivers: Isabella of Angoulême and Her Children by King John” by Louise J. Wilkinson (Virtuous or Villainess? The Image of the Royal Mother from the Early Medieval to the Early Modern Era). It focuses more-so on Isabella's tenure as queen, the period shortly after John's death, and her decision to leave England. Despite what the title may imply, it's sympathetic to Isabella and analyzes her situation in detail.

“Co-Operation, Co-Rulership and Competition: Queenship in the Angevin Domains 1135-1230” by Gabrielle Storey, her PHD thesis which collectively focuses on Isabella of Angouleme along with Empress Matilda, Eleanor of Aquitaine, and Berengaria of Navarre. You can read/download it here, it's an excellent piece for all four women.

Sally Spong has written/is writing:

Isabella of Angouleme: The Vanished Queen (Norman to Early Plantagenet Consorts). You can see her conclusion here. It's nuanced and sympathetic, though not without its issues and pre-conceived notions.

Isabella of Gloucester and Isabella of Angouleme: Female Lordship, Queenship, Power, and Authority 1189-1220 (PHD thesis University of East Anglia).

“Isabelle d’Angouleme, By the Grace of God, Queen” by William Chester Jordan. You can read it online here, though I will say that it's ... very very questionable, accepting the sensational claims of lot of unreliable sources (including the idea of John abducting Isabella in a fit of uncontrollable infatuation) entirely at face-value.

“The Marriage and Coronation of Isabelle of Angouleme” by H.G. Richardson, available here on JSTOR.

Isabella has also been the subject of two complete French biographies till date:

"Isabelle d’Angoulême, reine d’Angleterre" (Aquitaine: 1998) by Sophie Fougere.

"Isabelle d’Angoulême, comtesse-reine et son temps (1186-1246)" [Actes du colloque tenu à Lusignan, 8 au 10 novembre 1996] by Gabriel Biancotto, Robert Favreau and Piotr Skubiszewski.

There are also a few blog posts about her (here and here) which may help if you want a brief overview of her life, though they can get a little sensationalistic sometimes.

Hope this helps! If anyone knows any others, please feel free to add on!

Childhood doesnt have to be a straight line, childhood doesnt have to follow a timeline

Most kids childhood follows a straight path over a set amount of years, but that doesnt mean it has to be.

Your childhood doesnt have to be thrown away just because you had bad years, because you can still live those same number of years in your future

You can still honour that little kid and live the childhood you want

Just because you had to wait doesnt mean those years are gone, because they never have to leave

Youre a special child and your years dont have to end being a kid

Just because your body is grown and you’ve lived a while doesn’t mean you need to give up what makes you happy; You don’t have to deny yourself your happiness, the childhood you want

Your life is worth living, just because the early set of years were so hard on you, you can still live those years in a better way, a better future, and a happier childhood 🫂💗

73. friends to lovers situation. Getting hit with realisation that they're enamoured with you when [character] sees you laughing at someone else's joke, or flirting. Ends in love confession, too.

Mat and sophie before they are offical together

anthony was just a friend. anthony had emma. anthony loved emma. so why was mat so pissy that sophie was standing there and laughing at some joke his best friend made?

anthony and emma’s engagement party was going smoothly. walker, mat’s godson, and now child in his care, was the ring bearer at the age of two. sophie was walker’s biological aunt and the other caregiver after walker’s parents passed.

for two, almost three years, sophie and mat had been living together, raising walker together, but sleeping in separate bedrooms because they weren’t together. this was all for walker. to give him the stable home and life he deserved.

anthony was talking to sophie was emma was cooing over walker with her bridesmaids. and whatever anthony said had caused sophie to tip her head back in laughter, and mat was just watching in jealousy.

why did he feel so jealous? sophie wasn’t his. jealousy meant he felt something for sophie. the realization hit him hard. so hard he almost dropped the beer in his hand.

sophie was still recovering from anthony’s comment. slight laughter still bubbling. “i’m serious, he’s in love with you,” anthony said. “mat barzal isn’t in love with me beau.”

Could you possibly do regressor hcs for (caregiver) Izzy and (regressor) Sofia? And/or the opposite bc I’m sure pirate girls in mostly male dominated world have really tough days too..

(Let’s do the opposite because pirates have bad days too)

Caregiver Sofia

Is very helpful in calming down upset regressors.

Sings them to sleep if they’re having a rough night

Is fully perpsred for anything and everything a regressor may need.

Let’s regressors cuddle her animal friends if they’re having need it.

Regressor Izzy

Can be grumpy if disturbed from her nap

Tales about mermaids are her favorites.

The boys don’t quite understand what she’s doing so she doesn’t do it often

Wishes she could use her pixie dust all the time instead for emergencies.

Coming out to another girl about it was hard. Very hard.

Favorite food is junk food!

Sleeps with a doll Sofia made her she calls Sophie.

[deafchild2000]

Okay, a few years ago, my mind played with some crazy and unique ways to explore or rewrite H2O characters (at most: Lyla being Dr. Denman's adoptive daughter and healthily researching mermaid magic.)

But I've cooled down over the years and settled on a few that make sense (Charlotte being a mermaid again under dubious circumstances - being one of them and Kim actually being smart and figuring out the Secret using photocopies of Cleo's diary before it was destroyed).

Or maybe I'm not above writing stories with second chances, but not without taking liberties such as avoiding dumbing someone down or giving credit where it's due.

So, I had this idea for a story I attempted but didn't quite publish. The context: What if Charlotte, Miriam, and Sophie were mermaids?

Considering I go back and forth between Reddit and Tumblr, I was surprised (and not) by the Antis and the ones willing to indulge in the characters - I ended up joining in too. But this idea was me really pushing the envelope, so to speak, and thinking outside the box. And another thing, I'm kind of not afraid to go into mature themes that exist in real life.

So why these three? Because everyone hates them, and the exact challenge of making them worth reading about is what I strive for. And since I do believe being in the Moon Pool alone is why Charlotte got three powers, then making her part of a group & dividing said powers avoids some problems.

Charlotte is the easiest of the three, she deserved better in character development and writing (and I'm not above laying blame on the girls for creating her antagonism, to begin with). If H2O had started off with the story of a girl finding out her grandma was a mermaid, it would have felt fitting as it would involve her meeting Louise and doing the supposed job of tying both generations of mermaids together. Essentially doing what S2 chose not to due when introducing a former mermaid having left a legacy behind. On that note, Charlotte is Cleo's foil, so she does get Hydrokinesis.

Miriam is...so fascinating! Between her and Sophie, it's so easy to imagine Miriam disliking having a tail to begin with. At best, she's unilaterally Emma and Rikki's foil (everything Emma's not and Rikki hates). With the Mean Girl/Ice Queen persona she had going on, I'm not too against the trope of her using being a mermaid for popularity but I imagine having Charlotte involved means the worst gets curbed. However, I do imagine the "One Drop" policy getting old pretty fast, and sick of it as well. It was actually pretty difficult (and felt generic), but in the end - I settled for Miriam getting Hydro-cryokinesis.

Sophie, Sophie, Sophie...Not gonna lie, getting the one who destroyed the moon pool for financial gain (and more of a villain than the other two) was when I knew I had my hands full! Not to mention, she's an ADULT! Not an elderly or a parent - an adult with bills to pay and a brother to take care of. And that's where I feel her arc should be (adulting and a caregiver who now has to deal with a tail). But because I don't mind taking liberties, I traced her actress back to her previous role (Rachel Samuels of Blue Water High) and that's where things came together! Overall, she does have hints of Emma but could be more dangerous than Rikki. So hydro-thermokinesis for her.

There's so much to this dynamic of the 2000s mermaids not being like anyone expected and the potential. Charlotte is the first to embrace being a mermaid while Miriam fights it every second she can (Sophie being between the two). Given what happened in Red Herring, I'm particularly fond of the idea both Miriam and Sophie have dyes in their hair and the transformation reveals their natural brunette and blonde tones. As an anti of Will Benjamin and his behavior with Bella in canon, perhaps exposure and learning how NOT to treat a mermaid from the source could go a long way. I'm definitely LIVING for Louise adoring Charlotte yet meeting Miriam and Sophie and having difficulty adjusting to someone like them being mermaids & far removed from what she, Gracie, and Julia were. How Zane fits into this as without Rikki, Miriam's all that ties him to her. Sophie's past and why teenage drama dictates Miriam be such a bitch (as well as whether Tiffany has a place in her life). Or better yet, Lewis was the researcher, so is he obsolete from this AU or can he be brought in? Does Miriam have an Elsa episode where she freezes everything?

I can't promise Linda Denman or other likes in canon, but like lightning - some things don't happen twice without reason.

But main question: Why would these three meet? Charlotte and Miriam make sense, Charlotte moving a year early isn't hard to do as well as placing Miriam with Zane & Nate and having her steal the spark plug. Given the lack of background on their folks, Sophie and Will moving to Queensland is easy to arrange with the right backstory. So in the end, it all goes straight to the beginning - the Pilot.

(And where are the original girls? Given the effect this AU would cause, a lot gets undone. Cleo and Emma were already friends, just not likely to meet Rikki - whose actions triggered the events of canon to begin with! So at best, side characters who interact but don't influence the narrative as much...possibly.)
