Heeeyyyy,
I'm sure you've seen the school spirits trailer. What do you think. I'm so excited for season 2 😫
Also hope you're feeling better 💛
ooooh~ my sweet sugar pie. the theories i have are abundant and unhinged 🙈 some of them tie into October Sun, so i'm a little reluctant to share them but i'm happy to divulge what i can 👻
firstly, i'm 100% sure Mr. Martin isn't working alone. there's a reason our sweet ghosties are there. a reason Janette stole Maddie's body to get out of there (for something more than "i'm sick of these 4 walls, i'm going crazy, get me out of here).
fun fact: "The National Emergency Alarm Repeater (NEAR) was a program developed in the United States during the Cold War to supplement radio broadcasts and siren warning systems in the event of a nuclear attack." i don't quite know yet if Maddie has anything to do with the fallout shelter but i find it interesting that her family name is "Nears" and she was knocked out of her body in a fallout shelter.
further, i have a feeling the fallout shelter is a liminal space where anyone could see ghosts.
interestingly, they're bringing in Yuri (which i did not see coming, but i am excited for). i'm curious to see what they're going to do with him. I think these kids were chosen for a reason; something i explore in October Sun, too, but i doubt, in the show, it's for the same reason 😝
i really want to know who Quinn is. i predict she's going to be a love interest for Simon. someone who "helps him through his loss" bc he now believes Maddie's ghost is a figment of his tortured mind 😭 and i think Xavier might be able to see ghosts after being hit by the ass-end of his own truck.
Mr. Anderson comes back and i wanna know why, although my theory is he's gonna be able to explain why the ghosts are there in the first place. not necessarily because he's involved. i just think maybe his dad knows things or he has suspicions or something. he'll be a vehicle to get us to that conclusion.
i feel like the Maddie/Wally romance will be front and center although i still can't see how it'll work unless they bring everyone back from the dead. which... i don't think is the plan. but i could be wrong. still, Maddie/Wally endgame isn't possible if he remains a ghost and she gets her body back, soz. i have a feeling it's going to be one of those things where it starts with a specific couple and ends with that couple being separated and each person is in a different relationship. à la every incestuous CW show ever that ran for more than 4 seasons (i know this isn't CW but u get what i mean).
that's about all i can share without giving away anything from October Sun 🙈 i have so many thoughts and theories, and im' sure i'll come up with more after rewatching all the 'sodes that follow Homecoming...
love u to bits n pieces, babes❤️ tysm for checking in 😘
October Sun

Pearl Jam songs as the marauders' story
listen here
explanations under read more
Red Mosquito - Remus is bit by Greyback
two steps ahead of him, punctures in your neck…/ Hoverin' just above your bed... (2x)/ I was bitten...must have been the devil…/ He was just paying me…/ A little visit, reminding me of his presence…
Jeremy - most of the song, Sirius
Okay so we’re going to look at the verses not the refrain for this one bc (TW su*) this song is based on an actual boy who diy died in front of his class so like no we’re not relating to that part but the “Clearly I remember/ Pickin’ on the boy/ Seemed a harmless little fuck/ But we unleashed the lion….Daddy didn't give affection, no/And the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear”
Daughter - Sirius at home
Trans sirius in an abusive household………. “Mother reads aloud, child tries to understand it/Tries to make her proud/ The shades go down, it's in her head/ Painted room, can't deny that something's wrong/ Don’t call me daughter, not fit to”
Leash - Sirius and Remus’ toxic codependent love and then yelling at the establishment/people who say they’re too young going too deep too hard too fast
“Troubled souls unite/ We got ourselves tonight, oh/ I am fuel you are friends we got the means to make amends/ I am lost I'm no guide but I'm by your side/ I am right by your side….We will find a way we will find our place/ Drop the leash drop the leash/Get outta' my fuckin' face”
Why Go? - Sirius becoming disenchanted w his family
Trans Sirius too of course. She seems to be stronger/ But what they want/ Her to be is weak/ She could play pretend/ She could join the game, boy/ She could be another clone….don’t come visit/mother/ why go home?
Blood - Sirius’ family trying to make him into something he’s not
Spin me round/ Roll me over/ Fucking circus/ Stab it down/ One way needle/ Pulled so slowly/ Drains and spills/ Soaks the pages/ Fills their sponges/ It’s my blood/ It’s my blood
WMA - basically about all the big pureblood families that can get away w anything
“He won the lottery when he was born/ Took his mothers white breast to his tongue/ Do no wrong so clean cut/ Dirty his hands, it comes right off” (tw for song: police, implied police violence)
Do the Evolution - Sirius ranting abt/mocking his family
Admire me, admire my home/ Admire my son, he's my clone…./ I'll do what I want but irresponsibly/ It’s evolution, baby/ I’m a thief, I'm a liar/ There’s my church, I sing in the choir:/ (Hallelujah, hallelujah)
Bushleaguer - abt the aristocracy etc
This song is literally about George bush lmao but I love it abt the upper class
“Born on third, thinks he got a triple…./The aristocrat choir sings, "what's the ruckus?”/ The haves have not a clue/ The immenseness of suffering”
Mind your manners - You guessed it - Sirius rejecting his family
I've got an unfortunate feelin’/ I've been beaten down/I feel I don't believe/ And now the truth is coming out/ What they've taken is more than a vow/ They’ve taken your innocence/ And then they throw them on a burning fire/ All along they're sayin’/ Mind your manners
My father’s son - SIRIUS
I am my father's son,/ Yeah, too bad he was a psychopath and now I'm the next in line, , dear mother, yes, surely she's a work of art,…/Can I get a reprieve?/ This gene pool dark and deep…./Now father you're dead and gone and I'm finally free to be me,/ Thanks for all your dark gifts for which I've got no sympathy,/ I’m living in a walled-up place in the bounds of 5th symphony
Yellow Ledbetter - Sirius
Okay so 97% of the the lyrics are indecipherable when Eddie sings them but you can hear I don’t wanna stay
Go - Regulus to Sirius as he’s trying to leave
(Abuse tw) So sorry about this one yall …… .but yes I think this is regulus finally realizing that he shouldn’t have let things get so bad at home (Sirius blames him for not stepping in even tho he’s a child there’s nuance here etc) and he’s begging Sirius not to leave him here “Oh please don't go out on me don't go out on me now/ Never acted up before don't go on me now/ I swear I never took it for granted just thought of it now/ Suppose I abused you just passing it on….I pulled the covers over him shoulda' pulled the alarm/ Turned to my nemesis…Please don't go on me/ Don’t go on me/ Don’t go on me/ Don’t go on me/ please”
Rearviewmirror - Sirius running away
(Tw abuse) Time to emancipate/ I guess it was the beatings made me wise….Forced to endure/ What I could not forgive/ I seem to look away/ Wounds in the mirror waved/ It wasn't my surface most defiled
Can’t Keep - Sirius running away from home
I want to shake/ I want to wind out/ I want to leave/ This mind and shout/ I’ve lived/ All this life/ Like an ocean/ In disguise/ I don't live for ever/ You can't keep/ Me here
Hail, Hail - Remus and Sirius’ codependent strong love
A how I love you till the day I die...ah and beyond…/ are we going to the same place? If so, can I come?/ It’s egg rollin' thick and heavy...all the past we carry…
Release - Remus thinking about his dad
Remus’ dad is so full of guilt for his hand in remus’ transformations that he extracted himself from remus’ life. Remus laments here, “Oh, dear dad/ Can you see me now?/ I am myself/ Like you somehow” “I'll hold the pain/Release me” he’d would rather have a dad, guilt and all, here, than the self appointed absence but since you left me with the absence and grief and loss of it, at least release me from it, loosen your grip so I can move on.
Present Tense - Sirius and Remus talking probably laying in the forbidden forest assuaging one another’s beliefs of the gnarled beasts they think they are
BUGS - prob remus when he turns before the boys know
Bugs on my ceiling/ Crowded the floor/ Standing sitting kneeling…/ A few block the door/ And now the question’s:/ Do I kill them?/ Become their friend?/ Do I eat them?/ Do I join them?/ I’ll just stop now/ I’ll become naked/ And with the...I'll become one
Who you are - probably James at remus when he thinks he’s a big monster
Who are we?/ Who we are./ What’s your part? Who you are / You are who you are.
Save you - GOD THIS SONGG okay this is probably James @ Sirius when home life is bad and also Sirius @ Remus and also Remus @ Sirius it’s all of them @ all of them
Gonna save you fucker, not gonna lose you/ Feeling cocky and strong, can't let you go,/ Too important to me/ Too important to us, we'd be lost without you/ Baby, let yourself fall, I'm right below you now/ And fuck me if I say something you don't want to hear/ And fuck if you only hear what you want to hear/ Fuck me if I care, but I'm not leaving here/ You helped me when I was down, I'll help when you're down/ Why are you hitting yourself, c'mon hit me instead
Life Wasted - Sirius @ Reg re: leaving
I escaped it, a life wasted./ I’m never going back again…./ You're always saying you're too weak to be Strong./ You’re harder on yourself than just about Anyone/ Why swim the channel just to get this far?/ Halfway there, why would you turn around?
Severed Hand - Reg joins the death eaters
Big man stands behind an open door/ Said, leave your lady on the cement floor./ Got some kicks, want to take a ride?/ I said, yeah!/ Oh please understand I just need, my friend,/ A way a way a way home
Brain of J. - Reg and Sirius arguing after he joins the death eaters
The whole world will be different soon/ The whole world will be relieving/ You, you've been taught/ We’d been the same, now they got you in line/ Stand behind the stripes/ There will be order, so give it a good mind…./And by name/ The name they gave me/ The name I'm letting go
Deep - Regulus knows he’s in too deep
This is Regulus knowing he’s in too deep, Voldemort and the death eaters are such bad fucking people and he’s in too deep now (massive tw for this song for drugs and se*ual violence)
“Ponders his Maker, ponders his will/ in too deep/ can’t touch the bottom”
Pilate - Remus abt Sirius ;0)
Like Pilate I have a dog/ (Obeys listens kisses loves)/ Walks me out of town/ Still one's a crowd/ Making angels in the dirt/ Looking up looking all around
You Are - in love 🥰
Love is a tower/ Of strength to me/ I am the shoreline/ But you're the sea
Red Bar - the war begins
War, I’m crazy/ War I’m crazy I’m war the song is also a lil goofy so it’s maybe just like going crazy being so in it that it’s funny now
Porch - WARTIME EVERYONE @ THEIR LOVERS
It’s the war and everyone knows today could be their last day and tensions are running high in relationships and they love each other so much and need each other but snap at one another nonetheless
What the fuck is this world running to?/ You didn't leave a message/ At least I could have learned your voice one last time/ Daily minefield, this could be my time by you/ Would you hit me? Would you hit me?/ Hear my name, take a good look/ This could be the day/ Hold my hand, walk beside me
Thin Air - babes in love
There's a light, when my baby's in my arms,/ There’s a light, when the window shades are drawn…/ And I know she's reached my heart, in thin air.
All or None - More war time songs soz
Here's the selfless confession/ Leading me back to war/ Can we help that our destinations/ Are the ones we've been before?/ I still try to run on/ But it's all or none
Parting Ways - Lily @ James during the war
She knows their future's burning/ But she can smile just the same, same/ And though her mood is fine today/ There’s a fear they'll soon be parting ways
Love Boat Caption - Sirius/Remus, Lily/James, etc etc. during the war
Love boat captain/ Take the reigns and steer us towards the clear, here/ It’s already been sung, but it can't be said enough/ All you need is loveIt's an art to live with pain/ Mix the light into grey/ Lost nine friends we'll never know/ Two years ago today/ And if our lives became too long/ Would it add to our regret?…./Hold me and make it the truthThat when all is lost, there will be you
Evacuation - going into hiding
Lukin- Lily and James have to go into hiding
(Tw st*lking mention in explanation, gun mention in song) The song was written by Eddie when he was being stalked and he had to bring himself and his wife to a friend’s house for safety.
In Hiding - Lily and James are in hiding and enter Peter
No way in or out/ I turned and walked the hallways/ And pulled the curtains down…./I swallow the truth to keep from lying/ i'm no longer overwhelmed and it seems so simple now/ Yeah, it's funny how things change so much/ It’s all state of mind
Once - Peter Pettigrew betraying the marauders
Literally about someone committing a mass murder. “Once upon a time I could control myself.” “Mimic whats insane.”
Around the Bend - I'm so sorry ummm but Lily to Harry on Halloween 💀
I am wishing you a well…./ I hold your head deep in my arms/ My fingertips, they close your eyes/ Off you dream, my little child/ There’s a sun around the bend/ Please forgive me, won't you, dear?/ Please forgive and let me share with you, around the bend/ You’re an angel when you sleep/ How I want your soul to keep, on and on around the bend
Garden - Sirius being taken to Azkaban
He’s just taking his fate as it comes to him.
The direction of the eye/ So misleading/ The defection of the soul/ Nauseously quick/I will walk, with my hands bound/ I will walk, with my face blood/ I will walk, with my shadow flag/ Into your garden/ Garden of stone
Even flow - IS SO VERY MUCH SIRIUS IN AZKABAN
sung from the pov of an incarcerated person waiting for life to begin again
BUGS - Sirius in Azkaban (yes I already said this abt remus but idc)
Bugs on my ceiling/ Crowded the floor/ Standing sitting kneeling…/ A few block the door/ And now the question’s:/ Do I kill them?/ Become their friend?/ Do I eat them?/ Do I join them?/ I’ll just stop now/ I’ll become naked/ And with the...I'll become one
Black - Remus lamenting about Sirius’ perceived deception
Remembering their love and how now so many of his memories are tainted (by) black and that all of this has changed him fundamentally (star imagery, “black”, “tattooed everything”)
Indifference - Sirius in grimmauld place, sirius in Azkaban
Sirius taking his home life in stride until he can leave, taking Azkaban in stride bc it doesn’t matter any way bc he believes he deserve it anyway
“Pretend I'm free to roam/ I will make my way/ Through one more day in hell/ How much difference does it make?/ How much difference does it make?/ I will hold the candle/ Till it burns up my arm/ Oh, I'll keep takin' punches/ Until their will grows tired/ Oh, I will stare the sun down/ Until my eyes go blind/ Hey, I won't change direction/ And I won't change my mind/ How much difference does it make?/ How much difference does it make?/ I’ll swallow poison, until I grow immune/ I will scream my lungs out till it fills this room”
Alive - Remus post ’81
Eddie originally wrote the song as a lament - why did I live when he didn’t? Why am I still alive?
“Is something wrong she said, of course there is, you’re still alive she said, but do I deserve to be?”
Animal - Remus after ’81 when he needs to transform alone
Feat. A throwback to being turned (so tw: abd*ction) “Torture from you to me, yeah/Abducted from the street/I'd rather be with an animal”
Nothingman - Sirius and Remus after ’81
Once divided nothing left to subtract/ Some words when spoken can't be taken back/ Walks on his own with thoughts he can't help thinking/ Future’s above but in the past he's slow and sinking…./ She once believed in every story he had to tell/ One day she stiffened took the other side/ Empty stares from each corner of a shared prison cell/ One just escapes one's left inside the well
Smile - Remus @ the marauders (except it’s after ’81 and he just thinks of them fondly)
Don't it make you smile?/ I miss you already/ I miss you always/ I miss you already/ I miss you all day/ This is how I feel/ Three crooked hearts swirls all around/ Don’t it make you smile?
In my tree - remus abt sirius after ’81
I remember him, yeah…/ I swore I knew everything, oh yeah…/ They say knowledge is a dream, yeah…/ He's growing up just like me, yeah…
Light Years - Remus abt Sirius
But now you're gone, I haven't figured out why/ I’ve come up with riddles and jokes about war/ I’ve figured out numbers and what they're for/ I’ve understood feelings and I've understood words/ But how could you be taken away?/ Back pages and days alone that could have been spent/ Together, but we were miles apart Every inch between us becomes light years now
I’m open - Remus!!!! Post ’81
After spending half his life searching he still felt as blank/ As the ceiling at which he stared/ He is alive but feels absolutely nothing/ So is he?/ When he was six he believed that the moon overhead followed him/…..So this is what it's like to be an adult/ If he only knew now what he knew then
Thumbing my Way - Remus post ’81 again blah blah ikik
I can't be free with what's locked inside of me/ If there was a key you took it in your hand/ There’s no wrong or right but I'm sure there's good and bad/ The questions linger overhead
Rats - we know how remus like to soliloquize …. This is him waxing poetic about how fucking horrible Peter is
The song itself is kind of listing the many ills of humankind saying how rats don’t compare to people bc they don’t do all this. But Peter isnt really a rat. He’s a man and oppresses like a man and betrays like a man and takes like a man.
“Drink the blood of their so-called best friend….They don't scurry when something bigger comes their way….Don't take what's not theirs“
Oceans - Sirius escaping Azkaban
Hold on to the thread/ The currents will shift, glide me towards/ You know something's left/ And we're all allowed to dream of the next…..The sea will rise/ Please stand by the shore/ I will be there once more
Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town - Sirius after Azkaban
200004309248% sirius returning from 12 years isolated. He doesn’t really recognize most things. Remus wouldn’t recognize him. He’s different. Changed by being unchanged. He couldn’t grow and learn and morph and become. He stagnated yet decayed. But he’s back and he recognizes your skin and your breath. He’s back.
Off He Goes - Sirius is a Sagittarius in the first half, second half is post PoA
Know a man his face seemed pulled and tense/ Like he's riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds/ So I approach with tact/ Suggest that he should relax/ But he's always movin' much too fast/ Said he'll see me on the flip side/ On this trip he's taken for a ride…./ And now I rub my eyes for he has returned/ Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned/ For he still smiles and he's still strong/ Nothing’s changed, but the surrounding bullshit, that has grown/ And now he's home, and we're laughing, like we always did/ My same old, same old friend/ Until a quarter-to-ten
All Those Yesterdays - and cue the bath scene, remus washes his lost love
Don't you think you oughta rest?/ Don’t you think you oughta lay you head down?/ You don't think there's time to stop/ There’s time enough for you to lay your head down tonight tonight/ Let it wash away/ All those yesterdays
#literally put me down#unless you like it#then kiss me#some of these are big brain and i do want yall to read it at least but i also know I'm like a feral dog rn so it's ok#text post#long post#read more#playlist#pearl jam#marauders#harry potter#hp hc#sirius black#remus lupin#james potter#lily evans

🏡 Storge
Storge: Who does your character consider family? Which of their family do they love most? Why?
I am deeply tempted to do one for Jupiter from my abandoned story bc I just remembered they exist. I won't though, soz Iter
Orion: Her crew! This is the same for most of my captains, except Osiris, who isn't quite ready for a family yet. I mean, she loves Felix most, but for familial love, probably Parvati because she's their most steadfast and reliable family member, and she's just so kind too!
Briar loves Felix the most out of her family, just because his brand of anarchism is so compatible with hers! They are United to give Max the most stress possible. Honestly it's a wonder Max even tolerates Briar still.
Theo's familial love is strongest for Parvati, curiously. She thinks it's a mothering instinct almost, a remnant from her life with Merryn.
Bellamy loves Parvati a little more than their dad, this is mostly just the last of her teenage angst working itself out though. For now, anyways >:)
Osiris doesn't really consider their crew family yet. They're closest to Nyoka, but aren't at the "admitting you love anyone" stage yet.
🌸Thank you for the ask!🌸

What took you so long?
Part 3- Daddy’s garden
Liam had been assassinated, Drake had left Cordonia before this. He had heard from Savannah about his friend- he felt guilty not returning. Someone had blackmailed him to not return, with only his sister knowing the truth. Leo had taken over the throne in place of his brother due to there being no heir....
*CHARACTERS BELONG TO PIXELBERRY*
{Drake x Riley}

******
“Hello, Riley.” Liam said sheepishly.
Riley felt like she was in a nightmare. A nightmare that she couldn’t wake up from. Did the last three years even exist? What was even happening?
“Li...” she finally managed to whisper. Accepting that he was here in the flesh. She released herself away from Leo’s embrace. Ambled towards Liam, reaching out for him- her fingers brushed down his body slowly.
“It’s really you. You’re really here.”
“I’m so sorry.”
Cupping her cheek, lifting her chin up to meet his gaze. Leaning in for a kiss, he was moments away from touching her soft skin. Her wet eyes, soon glared with anger- the heat from her body could have potentially burnt him. Pushing him away from her, he could now tell that he had broken her. Raising her hand, she slapped him across the face- the applaudable noise echoed throughout the room. Liam felt his cheek sting - he couldn’t blame her. Leo had already attacked him.
“HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME? TO US?”
“I had my reasoning Ri, I will do everything in my power to beg for everyone’s forgiveness.”
“You’ve fucked gaining my forgiveness.... I don’t give a shit about me but how could you leave your child? For forcing your brother to take the wrap for you? Don’t even answer me!”
Riley was heartbroken at the same time as being furious. Mainly feeling sadness for Liam Jr- the innocent child in all of this. Turning around she noticed Drake and Leo sadly looking at her, before focusing her gaze on Olivia.
“Liv, please tell me I’m wrong. Did you know?”
“Yes.. he’s been with me at my Duchy. Bastien came to update him all the time about Liam Jr.” The Duchess responded with no sign of empathy- it was as if the situation was normal and common in real life.
“I swear to god if you wasn’t expecting a child I’d rip your fucking head off that perfect body of yours! Is it his?”
Riley’s eyes pleaded with her for an honest answer. Olivia avoided her gaze not answering her question, looking at Liam instead. That was all Riley needed to know. Feeling betrayed, she thought back to when she was in labour with Liam Jr.
“Jesus Riley. Get to the toilet next time. Not very ladylike pissing yourself.” Maxwell said.
Before Riley could respond she screamed in excruciating pain, falling to the floor. Olivia ran over, and saw the colour slowly drain from Riley’s face.
“Her waters broke Maxwell! Get Leo!”
Riley was crawling about the floor, scared, anxious. The time was finally here. Liam wasn’t here. She needed him.
“It’s too early.... Liv... I’m only 37weeks. I can’t lose him.”
“Get up woman, we need to get you to hospital breathe! I’m here to support you.”
Olivia helped Riley up, Leo came storming into the room- with a concern look on his face. Scooping her up in his arms, he led her to the back entrance of the palace- where the SUV waiting to escort them to the hospital privately.
“Ri, just breathe. I’ll come with you.”
“I don’t ... I need Liv or Hana. You don’t want to see my vagina! Soz... arghhh.”
“Fair point. I love you and I love my little nephew who’s just too eager to see us all.”
Riley was in labour for 6hours, Olivia never left her side. Feeling like Riley was breaking her hand- she needed to support her and fight through the lack of pain she was having in comparison to Riley. Throughout the labour, she placed a cold compress on Riley’s head constantly, also rubbed her back. She was the perfect birthing partner, Riley believed.
After one last push, the two women heard the tiny cries. Both their hearts filled with joy.
The midwife placed the baby boy onto Riley’s chest. Skin to skin. She began crying uncontrollably and noticed the Duchess also shed a tear.
“Hey, you. I’ve waited so long to finally meet you. You look so much like your daddy.”
Riley placed a long kiss on the newborn baby. Holding his tiny hands, smelling that newborn scent. She had fallen in love immediately.
“Thank you Liv. You’re the best friend anyone could ask for.”
She pulled her friend in for a hug. Olivia felt guilt rising through her body. Faking a smile to the exhausted women she replied.
“Anytime. Congratulations Riley.”
She stormed towards the door, Leo grabbed her, holding her close- pleading with her not to leave. He felt the exact same feelings, but they needed answers.
“Ri, don’t run. We all need to talk, to gain closure!”
“No, Leo! I’ve heard enough. I’m going to see MY child. My child that Olivia was my birthing partner for. Knowing that Liam was alive all this time. I don’t want to even look at them. Please just let me go.”
*****
Riley ran through the palace, she didn’t know how she had gained this much energy. Knocking on Hana’s door, she immediately raced to Liam Jr. Cradling him in her arms, kissing him tenderly. Hana couldn’t comprehend what had made her friend this emotional.
“Ri?”
“Liam’s alive. Olivia and Bastien knew all this time. Oh and Liam Jr is having a sibling.”
“Are you pregnant? Who with?”
“No not me. Olivia!”
“WHAT?”
Before Riley could respond Hana, flung the door open nearly taking it off it hinges. Sweet little Hana, was furious and now like a different person. She had seen her friend go through all this heartache all for what?
****
Drake and Leo stood in the room scowling at the three other people in the room. Drake was unsure about his relationship with Riley- last night made him feel complete. He had always loved her, but now Liam was alive, would she eventually want Liam back? They have a child together- Drake wasn’t only the third wheel in this relationship, now potentially Olivia and her child was.
“How could you do that to her Li?”
“I didn’t have a choice Drake, he threatened you, he threatened me, he threatened the whole country.”
“So you planned to fake your death? Leaving behind a beautiful fiancée who loved you and a gorgeous intelligent kid? Why Liam?”
“I never intended it to stay a secret this long. I loved Riley and I’ll love my son. I felt a failure. My country was falling apart. Anton threatened to kill me or told me to fake my death- not knowing that I changed the law so Leo could take over. He believed that he would take over the throne. I didn’t want him to hurt Riley or my child.”
“Rather than run why not unite everyone together? Fight him! I stupidly ran but you had more support, more power than I did. I’m just a commoner, I did what was best for my family- you had no excuse. I kept in touch with Savannah at least! Instead you leave your family, force your brother to pick up your shit. And I assume begin another family?”
“I don’t blame you for leaving. I fully understand what predicament you was in. I want to get to know my son.”
Before Drake could respond, Hana barged through the door- not really knowing what she was doing, she stood in front of the former King- perfecting a groin shot at him before punching him. As she pulled her hand back, she shook it as her face grimaced ever so slightly. Leo smirked at her- he never knew this shy sweet woman could throw a punch like that. Grabbing some ice to sooth the pain she must have just consumed- Leo had hoped she hadn’t caused any damage.
“You can get to know him Liam, but a father doesn’t do that to his child! You left him too long. You have a lot of making up to do!”
“I know Lady Hana.”
“And for you Olivia, Riley thought you was her friend. Instead you betray her in so many ways. I’m so disappointed in you.”
Drake pulled Hana in for a hug before taking her out on the balcony for fresh air. Both of them taking deep breathes, they noticed Riley outside holding Liam Jrs hand protectively. She was helping him dribble a football- he shot it into an invisible goal. He looked up to his Mom, with the biggest cheesiest grin before she picked him up celebrating his achievement, ending it with a high five. Hana noticed Drake fixated on Riley.
“Are you okay Drake?”
“Yeah.... She’s a brilliant mom.”
“Damn right she is....she had all of us to support her, but she’s done an incredible job on her own. What happened last night between you two?”
Drake gulped, his hand began to rub his neck. Were they the court gossip now? It didn’t matter. Because Liam being alive would replace that ‘old’ gossip in a flash.
“Er.. we had words. We had sex. I didn’t want to rush things. I felt guilty. I love her Han. I always have. But she made her choice once upon a time picking Liam. She will pick him again. I just wished I could keep control of my feelings to save all this heartache.”
“Drake, she loves you too. Do you really think she’s going to pick that ass? Liam Jr is her priority. He always has been. Look at her now, she hasn’t ran into Liam’s arms knowing he’s still alive. She’s with her son. And I know she will want to talk to you at some point.”
****
“Mommy can we go and see Daddy’s garden?”
Daddy’s garden- the memorial garden that everyone put so much effort into creating a tranquil place - where Riley took her son to remember Liam. The little boy loved this place- Riley now hated the fact that the reasoning behind this garden was all a lie.
“Of course darling. Shall we go to the kitchen first and have a picnic?”
“Can I bring some toys too?”
“Yes, baby.”
Riley and Liam Jr arrived at the garden that was filled with a riot of colour. Carefully placing the picnic blanket on the ground, Liam scattered his toys around the area, whilst Riley pulled out the food out of the wicker basket. She had quickly made some ham sandwiches and had brought some fruit and cucumber sticks. Just spending this time with her son, made her forget about the shitstorm that was slowly brewing.
“Hi daddy, we are having a picnic. Look.”
Yes, daddy look. Now you can physically look. This is hurting me so much. I don’t know how to tell him the truth.
“It’s Spider-Man. And green goblin. Green goblin is a naughty boy. He doesn’t like Spider-Man.”
That sounds familiar Liam Jr- it’s like you are reading our minds. Is Daddy the ‘hero’ Spider-Man and Anton is green goblin? Hero my arse. Which superhero lies and fakes their death? None.
Riley was knocked out of her trance as Liam Jr jumped into her arms- petrified. Wondering what had spooked the little boy- she realised when looked up, rolling her eyes.
“Hey, Casper!” Riley sarcastically snapped at Liam, shortly before seeing all her friends join her in the garden.
Leo decided that they needed to speak, so picked his nephew up, playing hide and seek in the maze with Hana.
“Riley, please. I hate myself, I just want to get to know my son.”
“Oh your son. You actually care about him now?”
“I always cared Riley. I had no option. My biggest regret was leaving you both.”
Liam cupped her cheeks, tears falling down his own cheek.
“Please can I spend some time with him?”
Taking a deep breath- she didn’t want to the be the monster in all of this.
“Liam, I’d never stop you from seeing him. He’s your own fresh and blood.”
“Thank you. I know I don’t deserve this. I’m so grateful.”
Liam walked over to his brother who was now holding Liam Jr, Riley following him- she knew Liam wouldn’t hurt their child but still subconsciously was on edge.
“Hey Liam, how are you buddy?”
Holding tightly onto his uncle, he responded to the stranger- “I’m okay.”
“That’s good then. I’m sorry I haven’t been around. I- I ... I’m ..”
Liam looked at Riley, even though she was ready to actually murder him- she knew what he was attempting to say. Giving him an encouraging smile, he knew it had to come from him.
“Liam, I’m your daddy.”
“Mommy said you sleep with the angels.” Riley sunk her head to the floor, hating that she had now lied to her child unknowingly- she bit her lip waiting for Liam to respond but he was frozen. Realisation that Riley had spoken about him all the time to their son- broke his heart. She didn’t want his son to not know about him- to not forget his legacy.
“Daddy did. But he realised how much he missed you darling. So his sleepover ended and he came back to see you.” Riley interrupted as she grabbed her son, hugging him tightly. This was the hardest thing to say to a child at such a young age.
“I’m sure daddy would like a hug? Can you do that for him baby?”
The toddler nodded, kissing his mom on the cheek before running into Liam’s arms. Liam held his son for the first time, he never wanted to let go- uncontrollably crying he couldn’t contain his emotions. This was his son, and he had missed out on his life so far- he kissed his child on the forehead before Liam Jr dragged him over to play with his toys. Riley was still scrutinising every move Liam made with their son, now he was back - she wondered what his intentions would be. Needing some reassurance, she went to the person who had her back all this time.
“Leo, he’s not going to take him away from me is he?” Riley questioned him, worry in her eyes.
“Ri, I won’t allow him to don’t worry. He doesn’t deserve this- but you’ve been the civil grown up thinking about your child in all of this. You deserve better. Talking about better- Drake’s nipped back to the cabin. He believed you would need some space.”
“Why? Oh... could you arrange a car for me later? To take me there? I’ll let Li have this time with Liam first though.”
“Let me know when you’re ready.”
Riley hugged Leo, tightly. Out of all the people over the years he had been the most supportive- the playboy years had disappeared he had really stepped up to his King duties. Liam interrupted their hug.
“Thank you, so much Riley. For letting me have this time with him. I’m so sorry for how it all turned out. I did love you and a part of me always will- but you know our marriage was only for political reasons.”
“Oh, I know that. You know that. But I still loved you. I’m annoyed that we were so careless and brought an innocent child into this whole mess. But he means the world to me and I wouldn’t change him for the world.”
“That’s something we can agree on. Erm. I was wanting to propose to Liv, now my father has passed. I feel like I need your permission. You don’t have to tell me now.”- he was going to leave her with that bombshell, not expecting her to have an answer straight away.
“I’m not going to stop you Liam. You’re having a child with her even though neither of you have physically admitted it. Just don’t forget about our child- whenever you want to see him you’re welcome to.”
“I don’t deserve you. I never did. Thank you.”
Riley just nodded, how she kept so strong she didn’t know- she just wanted to breakdown in tears. Leo arranged for the car to be ready as soon as possible to get to the homey cabin. Getting in the car with Liam Jr, Bastien drove her to the secluded location- the silence was deadly. As he pulled up -he attempted talking to her, she ignored him. Not intentionally, she just didn’t want to regret all the vermin that could potentially be released. Closing the door, she fake smiled at the man before leaving the drive. Hesitantly, hovering her hand over the door, she didn’t know how Drake would react to seeing her. She didn’t need space- she needed him.
“Brooks? What are you doing here?”
“To mend a heart you didn’t break is part of loving a child you didn’t make.”

Janis: that I duon't reckon this is gonna work Janis: don't* Jimmy: which bit? Janis: being mates Jimmy: So what, you just wanna treat this like another job? Janis: yeah, I guess Janis: be easier Janis: and that's the point Jimmy: except I'm not a 🐕 that needs a piss but alright Janis: I'm not saying you are Jimmy: you're just saying that's what you wanna treat me like Jimmy: job done Janis: no, we don't have to be cunts to each other Janis: but I don't do friends, where are the rest of mine, like Janis: can't hack it Jimmy: you could've said before you spent the day becoming mates with my little brother Janis: I was trying Janis: I'm sorry Jimmy: I'll sign that to him then, tah Janis: I didn't think it'd be this hard Jimmy: 🎻 Janis: it's you, I can't be around you Jimmy: so call it off Jimmy: but you reckon you're alright to be around me at some bollocks or owt else where you need a fake boyfriend Jimmy: party* Janis: if you don't want to do it no more then fine Jimmy: it's you who can't hack me Jimmy: I had a lovely time Janis: you know why Jimmy: I said no to fucking you once, there's why Janis: yeah, I already feel like a piece of shit for it, you don't need to do that for me Jimmy: how do you think I feel? that's all you want me for Janis: I don't do friends it ain't tat you wouldn't be a decent one Janis: that* Jimmy: right and as long as I can fake being a decent boyfriend, what does it matter? Jimmy: tah for the heads up Janis: obviously we're not going to do that no more Janis: I didn't want to just Janis: I don't know Jimmy: obviously I don't get a fucking say Jimmy: why would I 'cause you don't care what I want Janis: Yes I do Janis: that's why I did this, 'cos otherwise I was just lying to you Jimmy: bit late to chime in with that bollocks when you've already pissed all over everything Jimmy: but alright Janis: what else can I do Jimmy: nowt clearly 'cause you tried really hard for a day Janis: you shouldn't have to try to be someone's mate, would you, that's the whole point Jimmy: you shouldn't have said you were up for it if you weren't Janis: nah Jimmy: 📞 that dickhead, bet he'll have another go at ending this for us Janis: don't, alright Jimmy: soz, you've probably 💭🥇💡 while I were pissing about on the 🏖 Jimmy: go on Janis: No, I haven't Janis: I had a good time too, it's not about that Jimmy: let me know when you have then Jimmy: so I know what I'm going along with Janis: it doesn't matter, I don't care Jimmy: you're not gonna pull your weight with this either Jimmy: tah very much Janis: literally the furthest thing from my mind right now Janis: so sorry Jimmy: yeah, you gave out the apologies a bit ago, no need to tack that one on Janis: so what, I'm meant to keep hanging out with you all the time, and pretend I don't want to kiss you, that's normal, is it? Jimmy: how about I gave you 3 days and you can't even give me one Janis: what? Jimmy: I told you why I only wanted to be mates, that I didn't wanna fuck this up, and you're just cracking on with that anyway Janis: and it's me that only wants a fake boyfriend? Jimmy: yeah, THAT'S what I meant by any of that Janis: how would I know? all I know is I can't fake be all over you one second then barely talk to you the next Jimmy: I weren't asking you for that, I never have done Janis: that's exactly what we do Jimmy: bollocks is it Jimmy: I talk to you Janis: would you rather I lie about it Jimmy: if it means I don't get left with fuck all, I might do Janis: I get fuck all too Jimmy: that don't make me feel better, funnily enough Janis: there ain't nothing I can do that will Jimmy: you could not do this Janis: if that were true, I wouldn't have Jimmy: there's nowt else to say then Janis: alright Jimmy: just go Janis: I have Jimmy: stop talking to me, dickhead Janis: [shall I post? or are we skipping to whatever is next?] Janis: [how should we start whatever is next, for that matter?] Jimmy: [I was thinking maybe he could be drunk and feelsy because we've done her already but I don't know how to just kick that off like] Janis: [I had a similar thought that regardless it needs to come from him 'cos she's put it out there low-key twice now and has got ultimately a no response each time so, could go the route of it being a party and thus like, come fake, even if it's a no obvs 'cos can carry on the convo or you could commit to just starting the convo from the off] Jimmy: [when I was in your archive looking for beach stuff which I rudely never found I did find a convo where it was like he'd been locked out because there's a shortage of keys in that house always and forever thanks Cass and she ultimately helped him break in so I'm wondering if I can do something with that hmmm] Jimmy: [it was a whole #mood is why I'm considering it lol] Janis: [I vibe with that] Jimmy: Oi Jimmy: where's your 🔑 Jimmy: ???????? Janis: on my dog-walking keys with the rest of them Janis: why? Jimmy: 🏃🏠✔ Janis: no, didn't get that Jimmy: UGH Jimmy: just run here Janis: I've not got them on me, not walking dogs at this o'clock Janis: you lost yours? Jimmy: bring me a jacket then Jimmy: it's freezing Janis: is everyone at yours asleep?

Jimmy: turn back around, it's alright Janis: I reckon your house doors are a bit sturdier, don't do that, alright Jimmy: Cass won't be 🤬 she loves kicking a door in Jimmy: unless she thinks it's my mum coming back Janis: and your dad will be regardless Janis: it's not a good idea Jimmy: be a 🥇 entrance if it were here though Jimmy: her* Janis: pretty impressive Janis: have to at this point, right? Jimmy: 🍾 be out then Janis: yeah Jimmy: what are you doing? Janis: coming to get you, obviously Jimmy: but before Janis: with all my mates? Janis: nothing, really, just Janis: about Jimmy: 🧛 business Jimmy: I get it Jimmy: 🦇🩸 Janis: exactly Janis: if I told you I'd have to eat you Jimmy: just don't be biting anyone else Jimmy: I don't care what you do to me Janis: I haven't Janis: that kind of night, I get that, too Jimmy: on any night, don't Janis: it's very unlikely Janis: even though it's a bit mean you want me to starve Jimmy: I said you can have me Janis: you'd get me pissed right now Jimmy: wouldn't even cost you nowt Jimmy: 🥇 date, me Janis: cheap, too 😏 Jimmy: 👍 Jimmy: no 🎫 needed either Janis: quite the offer Jimmy: weren't enough for my ex Jimmy: I @ed her but she don't wanna talk to me Jimmy: there's a mate you could have Janis: reckon that's her loss Janis: but I'm alright for her Jimmy: #savage Janis: don't think she's dying to talk to me either, it's alright Jimmy: might be now I fucked this up an' all Janis: what do you mean? Jimmy: you can swap stories of how crap I am Janis: she fucked around on you, you've told me before, can't be your fault Jimmy: DUH 'cause I was crap Janis: you aren't crap Janis: this were my fault, remember Jimmy: no, it weren't Janis: of course it was Jimmy: of course it weren't Jimmy: you said why you pissed off, it were nowt to do with me, what were I gonna do, hold it against you forever Janis: you told me why you can't have that and it's probably a lot more valid than why I stropped off Jimmy: people leave me Jimmy: or wanna Jimmy: 🎻🎻 etc Janis: it's really fucked, about your mum, you don't need to act like it ain't Janis: I get why you reacted how you did Jimmy: you came back Jimmy: I didn't have to be a prick about it Janis: when I came back Janis: I made loads more mistakes too Jimmy: I didn't even ask if you were alright Jimmy: I haven't now either Janis: 'cos you know Janis: like I know Janis: we're clearly not alright, as people, are we Jimmy: owt could've happened to you and I just had a go, without waiting a sec or leaving it out for one Jimmy: I'm sorry Jimmy: and I'm sorry I set you up to piss off again by reckoning you would Janis: it's alright Janis: nothing happened to me Janis: well, I'll tell you what it actually was, but I don't know if it'll sound like much now Janis: my dad, as Mia pointed out ages ago, died a few months back Janis: but before that he was a piece of shit and had loads of kids and fuck all to do with any of us for a proper amount of time Janis: and his mum likes to act like he was some saint, and one of his exes is clearly in the same boat and for some reason they've got it into their head we all need to get together as if he gave a shit about family when he was here or is gonna now Janis: that day they just showed up, when my mum weren't about, and wouldn't fuck off or shut up or get out my face so I just Janis: I can't even remember but my nan was on the floor like I'd stabbed her so I just had to go, no time to think or prepare anything Jimmy: 🍻 to shit dads Jimmy: I meant what I said, you can always stay here Jimmy: I'm still your mate even though you're not mine Janis: drink to that Janis: I meant what I said, or tried to say Janis: I wanna be your mate but I dunno how to be one or have one Jimmy: I know, and I'm not an expert myself, like Jimmy: it's different with lads and she were my mate, alright, but we weren't good mates to each other so Janis: you did a better job than me at any rate Janis: you were probably different before, yeah Janis: I was Jimmy: 🌧😒 still Jimmy: it were shit before an' all, just a different sort Janis: that's not gonna stop me wanting to be your friend, bit hypocritical Jimmy: just want you to know Jimmy: not sainting my mum, she were as bad as Ian when she were about Jimmy: alright, he's got worse since but Jimmy: 🌧🌧🌧 Janis: different shit, I hear you Jimmy: I didn't wanna get in over my head when you could just walk off again Jimmy: such bollocks Janis: understandable Jimmy: there's nowt I can do about how I feel Jimmy: or you Janis: no, there ain't Janis: but makes sense why you'd try Janis: half the reason I say no mates Jimmy: what's the other half, you just like being fit and mysterious? Janis: no, the, not knowing how to do it and not liking to be shit at things thing I mentioned Jimmy: you're not shit Jimmy: you said you were sorry you like me, but I'm sorry now you don't no more Jimmy: and I'm not sorry I like you Janis: It hasn't just turned itself off Janis: but it'd be unfair to have this conversation when you're wasted, wouldn't it Jimmy: depends Janis: go on Jimmy: 1. what I can remember when I ain't 2. if you're gonna make me 😭 Janis: exactly, can't and won't be holding you to anything you say tonight Janis: and don't wanna make you cry either, as a rule Jimmy: but Janis Janis: you never say my name Jimmy: there's loads I don't say Janis: I can tell that much Janis: you don't have to tell me anything Jimmy: can I? If I want? Janis: yeah Janis: of course Jimmy: okay Jimmy: I'm scared Janis: what of? Jimmy: not seeing you after this Janis: after this conversation, or like Janis: when you go Jimmy: both Janis: well, you'll see me after this conversation, I can promise that Jimmy: but not like before Janis: that can be a good or a bad thing Jimmy: yeah Janis: if you do remember, and you feel the same about any of it, then we can talk about that then, work it out Jimmy: what if I don't remember? Janis: you'll read this back, I'm sure Janis: whatever you said to your ex too Jimmy: have you forgotten I'm a MASSIVE dickhead Janis: met worse Janis: sorry 💔 Jimmy: you said you don't wanna make me 😭 Janis: 🤐 Janis: you're the worst person I've ever met Janis: better? Jimmy: 🥇 or nowt Janis: 😏 Jimmy: do we have to go in? 🔑🏠 Janis: you should probably go in somewhere, to warm up Janis: but there's other places we can Jimmy: @ your nan who isn't evil Jimmy: tell her to put the kettle on Janis: maybe Janis: we'll see how quiet you're capable of being first Jimmy: what are you gonna be doing to me? Janis: oi, not like that Janis: more like she probably don't wanna have a chat with you but the spare room is basically mine so if you can 🤫 a tea ain't out the question Jimmy: what time is it? Janis: pretty late Janis: she ain't evil but she is 😤 😠 😡 🤬 Janis: you might 😭 Jimmy: like you Jimmy: cute Jimmy: is your mum on the scale an' all? Janis: not cute Janis: not really Janis: she's a bit of a hippie throwback but not all ✌&💕 Jimmy: that'll be why you live in the middle of nowt, I get it 🌳🌼🌻🌱 Janis: a longer story than that Janis: but cut short, my dad was such a dick, his granddad would rather live with and leave my ma a farmhouse than him, and that's what happened Jimmy: wish I could chuck Ian out for being a knobhead Janis: when you got enough to pay the bills Jimmy: gonna start chucking stones at your nan's window of a night Jimmy: have that spare room out from under you, girl Janis: 😂 Janis: I mean, really harsh to take my role and my balcony from me like that but I get it Jimmy: your granddad still about or what? Janis: yeah, unlucky Janis: if she don't fuck you up he will Jimmy: 💔 but not for her probably, just me Janis: Poor boy Jimmy: used to it, been dumped more times than I've had girlfriends Janis: explains why you're used to the #drama Jimmy: 🖋👻🎭 Janis: she can be rosaline then Jimmy: Bill would have one of his characters end up a child bride to their dad's best mate Janis: seriously, do need to ring someone about that Janis: remind me Jimmy: it's grim up north, babe Janis: so you keep telling me Jimmy: I get it, you wanna see for yourself Jimmy: I'll pack you in my bag Janis: 👍 Janis: why not Jimmy: 💕 Janis: how are you, are you still cold?

HSHQTASK033: NEXT GEN
is this hypothetical? i’m not jerking ya’ll around when i say i really don’t know, there are odds against this
so rohan didn’t really want more than two kids, so this just goes to show who’s better at convincing the other about these things. as a whole these kids were raised with the open-mindedness and liberal stance of sweden, but with staunch indian values and culture. they are able to code-switch between the two very easily because credit to ebba, she was more of a catalyst in ensuring they got both after they were born. the no.1 rule for all of them is that family is important since they fly often. it was imperative that they had clear roots as a unit — there needed to be open communication, always.
all the kids have first names that are applicable to both indians and swedes since some names do have an overlap. rohan didn’t really care about middle names so ebba got to do whatever she wanted on that front
all the kids also have mid to light brown hair, the youngest only seems dark bc of my dumb psd soz.
veer birger ( neil nitin mukesh )
the perfect amalgam of both parents, fair, a mix of both parents in colouring, ebba’s soft features and rohan’s nose, hair, eye colour and face shape.
he was lowkey named after ebba’s mom, vera, but with the extra e to make it indian. it means strength, might, majestic fierceness, warrior etc. the swedish middle name was met with some resistance from rohan because he kept reading it as “burger” and seriously why?? ebba won in the end... literally because she decided to be cute and he just... stopped. veer gets teased in india all the time because when they see “birger” they’ll pronounce it as burger and not birr-yaer and this is a sad fact of life. at least when he complains rohan just gets to point at ebba and accept 0 responsibility. veer doesn’t really feel burdened being the heir apparent to the swedish throne because he admires his grandmother’s legacy and is in awe of how his mother handles things. it’s an honour to serve in their wake because they aren’t handing him a mess. it doesn’t escape him that his parents union is unique and was a battle hard-won so he doesn't want to let them down. but at the same time, he feels like until he's officially 3 years away from taking over, he's allowed to have fun also, he thinks he knows what he's doing. this is something that gives ebba a little bit of grief because she feels his spirit is a bit more relaxed and free than she would like.
annika kajsa ( asha leo )
her colouring is closer to rohan’s and she got vera’s nose, but oddly enough her features favour her grandmothers on both sides. this trait is something she’s very pleased to carry, it sets her apart from her siblings and makes her look a touch friendlier, something she likes about herself very much. she has her paternal grandmother’s hazelnut brown eyes and absurdly long lashes.
annika is the more gregarious one of the three, she shares rohan’s sense of humour ( the blunt one he has that comes out when he’s among his own ) and as a result she’s in cahoots with her dad a lot, and considering how secretive and silent rohan can be, this is a Feat in itself. she understands him better because of this, but it doesn’t mean she’ll take his side every single time, she mediates. being the middle child, and 15 months younger than veer, she does have middle child syndrome, and has had to pick up the slack especially behind her brother. their family has so much to do, moreso than the other royals she feels, so this gave her conviction to just be good at everything she does, and she succeeds. she helps her parents steer veer to be the best man he can be to prepare him for what he is to become someday. alfred is cooler than bruce wayne in every way and she is the alfred to his batman.
alvira signe ( isabelle kaif )
the baby of the family, she looks a lot like veer, the perfect amalgam of her parents, fair complexion, but with ebba’s nose instead of rohan’s although she has his eyes and makes the same expressions he does when she’s judging someone.
alvira’s personality is exactly the soft, girly parts of ebba, and very little of the harsher colder attributes. she shares her mother’s tastes in most things, she favours simplicity, class, nature, little cottages by a stream. enjoying delicate breeze and loves the smell of fresh, soft linens, light colours and white with regal hints of blue. she just might be exactly who ebba would have been if she hadn’t been born as vera bernadotte’s heir. she wants to practise law in civil rights AND interior design ( ah ambition, who is surprised ? ) and just wishes the world would be a lot kinder than it is. she’s just so easygoing, she spreads ease and calm wherever she goes, like a little pixie leaving a trail of soft silky flower petals in her wake — the soft touch and a keen ear. she enjoys being doted on by her paternal grandparents the most because boy they spoil her like no other because she’s always so curious, and will always ask them for one more story, or one more anecdote. she knows they let her get away with more than she will in sweden, and she exploits this endlessly. when she teams up with ebba to change rohan’s mind about something he stands no chance — none at all.
#ebbv#julie: don't go nuts w the graphic#me: overcompensates for not going nuts w the graphic by writing a lot#hshqtask033

hello again
Welcome back to a diary of my mental health crumbling throughout a unit for the billionth time
Let’s get this ball rolling and show you my current 3 not quite storyboards but i have no idea what else to call them
Round 1 - Cath’s Law
You know how we all have that aunt who’s not actually a blood relative she just feels like family and you prefer her over 50% of your actual relatives? Well for me, that’s Cath. She’s always said since I was a wee child that if you pick up one piece of litter a day then the world will be a bitter place and it’s stuck with me even after the betrayal of her moving to Canada.
We start out with trash falling from earth into our oceans, it all looks a bit bleak and sad. Then we move to how the wildlife is getting affected because you bet I want to pull on those heartstrings before having a nice lil portrait of auntie Cath (aint she a cutie) followed by earth hugging a heart because, awwwww, it feels so loved.
I know what you’re thinking, because I’m thinking it too - is this actually a fable though?? Honestly mate I can’t tell you, I really want to do this idea but I feel like I might have to locate a tutor and ask.
Round 2 - Bee Kind
I like the pun, I don’t care how many people (just my partner) have told me it’s terrible.
This one is pretty simple for the most part, a bee gets caught in the rain, tires his sweet little wings out and falls to floor. A sweet child picks this lil guy up, gives him some sugar water and then bam, a beautiful dance montage of the two of them while she grows up. The message is ‘Bee’s a life long friends, help ‘em out’.
Fun fact, this is based on a best friend I had called Phillipe who I found on a walk home and brought him into my house because the poor guy had a broken wing. He stayed with me in a makeshift bee enclosure for 8 days before we had to bury him in the garden.
This gentleman didn’t sting me once. We even went for walks around the garden together.
I miss him - r.i.p 15/08/17
Round 3
I’ll be honest, because you can probably tell anyway, I was dry on ideas by this point and Mum said ‘Ooo do one on kindness!!’ So basically you’ve got a rainy sad day in a city, this lass drops all her stuff and no one seems to help but then here the hero comes, bright yellow for that cinematic impact, and gives her a hand. She then turns yellow and spreads her yellowness not a disease around the world, showing the impact of a small amount of kindness. Bit bland tbh.
So my heart was set on the first one right, I had a poem written, it would make my not blood-related aunt cry and I’m a right tree hugger, but alas, it isn’t actually a fable. It would make a sweet infographic but that isn’t the task at hand. I mean, I could email Jon and be all like ‘dude, tell me this is ok and I can pursue it’ but we all know the answer which has led me to lean towards number 2. The story defo needs some tweaking, I’m not about fully about it at this current point in time but isn’t that what you truly want, work and self-improvement? Soz, that sounded like a proper dig but I swear it wasn’t it’s actually a solid point.

i can't remember if i asked or not so!! 6, 7, 12, 13, and 28!! long ones im soz
6. which one of your muses have you been playing the longest?
answered here !!
7. which one of your muses has the most ships?
HELEN RIGHT NOW OH MAN, i never realised how flirty she is wow, and the chemistry is off the charts for so many ppl i don’t even know how to begin, half of this might just be in my head so um pls lets talk about sHIPS WITH HELEN
12. what is something everyone should know about your muses before interacting?
betty: she’s made a name for herself among students, i feel like it’d be pretty common knowledge that auradon prep and arcadia uni has its own sandman. they might not know its specifically betty?? but definitely once they’re around her, you’d just know. so if you need a good night’s sleep or some help with nightmares, betty is your girl.
veronika: she’s a tour guide for auradon prep students! so she’s good for characters that come in for the first time ever. she always has some sort of bag with her and it’s basically a survival kit (water, umbrella, maps, auradon keychains).
makaria: she always looks amazing. girl with the awesome fashion sense, great nails, great hair. always put together. she had a good relationship with her father, so on the isle they were basically this strong unit. if hades was walking, you’d know mak wasn’t too far behind.
hershey: he comes from a playable game! the arcade’s on the west coast somewhere, but yeah sugar rush is 100% playable so if it’s relevant for your character to have went there and played sugar rush by any chance, then they probably would remember hershey from there.
cestrum: he’s tall. like…6 foot more. i think i said he was 6 foot 2. in a crowd he’s one of the tall ones. when he’s sitting down in a low chair, his knees are really knobby it’s like watching a giraffe sit down.
aiwei: he’s got visible frankenstein’s-monster type scars. recently, he’d had to stitch himself up a lot (without a good access to magic) so along his arms and fingers especially. his skin isn’t warm, it’s a little pale actually but honestly the life comes from his eyes and his smile.
otto: he’s handsome af. literally classic prince charming. comes from snow white’s family, so very posh, very rich boy trope. sits with the cool kids, acts like a cool kid, lives like a cool kid. will only be seen associating with other royals (or those close to royals) or sitting alone. but he always looks busy too.
illyria: she’s a bit ‘mona lisa painting’ in that her eyes will literally follow you even if she doesn’t move. once you catch her attention, she won’t look away until she’s had her fill of analysing you. also she speaks a lot in class (more in recent months) and if she’s curious about you, you’ll know. she bothers a lot of people in class too lmao.
kirsa: she’s a cheerleader! super team spirit all the way. she’s got makeup on her all the time, has her own version of a survival kit. need lip balm? she’s got new ones you can just take. need pads or tampons? she’s got light, heavy, and super. need a snack? she’s got a brownie in a tin. need alcohol or smokes? she’s got them too. omg she runs high school contraband.
dignan: LITERALLY SO BUSY WITH CLUBS. you will literally always see him hanging out with someone from a sports team, usually the baseball team. he’s literally a jock. since he joined the team he’s taken to wearing some sort of sports fashion – a cap, or shoes, or a jersey or jacket. BUT ALSO he’s in mathletes!! if he’s not in any of his other extracurriculars or studying or hanging with friends, then he’s at the gym or training.
helen: also a jock. but she’s more known for having aurelius hanging around her all the time. he knows he can’t go into any buildings, so he’s always waiting outside. sometimes he hangs out by the classroom window and watches lessons LMAO.
penelope: if you look poor, she’ll scoff at you, if you look rich, she’ll wink at you. she may also try to steal your shit, rich or poor. her luck with stealing comes and goes, sometimes it’s a smooth steal, most of the time she gets caught. she always tries tho.
13. what’s a weird headcanon you have for each of your muses?
betty: idk if this is weird but betty has the ability to literally sleep anywhere. once she decides she’s comfortable and wants to sleep, she’s done. betty’s been found sleeping in a closet, under a desk in a student’s lounge, IN CLASS…
veronika: she knows like every word to a handful of like early 2000s songs. outkast’s “hey ya”, eminem’s “without me”, coolio’s “gangsta’s paradise”, black eyed peas “where is the love”. a lot of avril lavigne. she won’t sing it (unless you’re noelle) but she can recite and mouth along to the song
makaria: she had a cooking phase. but only she eats the food bc she doesn’t want to accidentally poison anybody or make them puke. she likes cooking food. considers herself a good food critic.
hershey: hated ice-cream for the longest time bc, as a kid, he couldn’t get through the ice-cream catapult range on the sugar rush track. full-on boycotted ice-cream from like ages 6-10. it was a sad time for hershey.
cestrum: i’ve talked about it before but his tapdancing! started when he found a pair of dancing shoes in wonderland. then he found an old gramophone and some records. he basically taught himself how to tap dance. he doesn’t do it so often now because there’s every chance someone’s going to catch him doing it.
aiwei: secretly tried all sorts of things to make himself taller. he’d do stretches. he’d hang upside down. the last straw was when he would hang by his arms off a tall beam, with weight attached to his feet. he can’t feel pain so he just added as many weights as possible, and one foot literally popped off the socket. there’s a scar there too.
otto: scared of open water. doesn’t like the idea of drowning. he frantically trained himself to be able to swim well (in a pool) but he’s still wary of going to the beach. doesn’t like flying on a plane over large bodies of water. just……..no open water.
illyria: she’s really really bad with makeup. all she had to go on for years was tia dalma’s intense eyeliner, smokey-eye look LMAO. she tried makeup for a while but got too lazy and is just bare-faced now (she loves moisturising though and buys all sorts of sea-themed facewashes and things).
kirsa: she’s really picky about food. she’s a little self-conscious about it so when u eat with her for the first time she just goes with whatever but once she’s comfortable it’s just gonna be so specific. “hi so i’d like the apple pie for dessert with the ice-cream on the side, and if it’s home-baked pie then i’d like it heated but if it’s not then leave the ice-cream and i’ll have whipped cream instead. otherwise, i’d still like the ice-cream on the side – and for the salad, can i also have the dressing on the side please?” this is shamelessly taken from ‘when harry met sally’ but EVERYTHING IS ON THE SIDE
dignan: he’s superstitious especially about competitions. the first baseball game he won, he ate ice-cream beforehand so like now every time he has to eat ice-cream before a game. different rule for mathletes though, whenever they have a competition, he has to do like ten sit-ups. he will do those sit-ups anywhere, but he has to get them done. doesn’t walk under ladders. doesn’t open umbrellas indoors.
helen: she’s really not looking to love anyone right now, but she ends up liking so many people and she kinda loves that physical side of the relationship a lot ??? she also loves showing off and that’s not really a quirky headcanon but like she loves showing off
penelope: idk yet but i think maybe she once tried singing to the birds on the isle (back when her grandmother was still like ‘yes penny sing!!’) and honestly like the birds either died or tried to attack her, she probably has a fear of birds now because of that.
28. can you sort your muses from weakest to strongest?
PHYSICAL STRENGTH-ABILITY WISE
aiwei: is a pacifist but also just like no upper-arm strength and literally you could rip his arms off with the right amount of force so no
cestrum: could literally knock him over with a strong wind but at least he’s a little more solid than aiwei. also a pacifist. also has a little trauma when it comes to physical harm so he just freezes and let’s things happen to him.
kirsa: has no idea how to defend herself and literally just runs or something and she’s not even a fast runner. she can scream tho and she panic-fights so she has every chance to scratch someone’s eyes out.
hershey: also panic-fights. would rather run (or drive away) than fight. if he had a car in his disposal he would still choose to just drive away with as little injury to anyone as possible. not very powerful in terms of physical fights; he gets beat up a lot.
veronika: knows how to avoid fights. calm in a brawl. uses her environment to her advantage (ie. broken glass, distractions). looks to leave fights rather than end them.
dignan: only more powerful than veronika physically but strategically he’s a mess. impulsive fighter. will throw himself into anything. upper-arm strength because of recent training and exercise; good aim, has amazing aim.
illyria: calm, strategic, trained fighter. but only good with weapons, not very good with hand-to-hand combat (would rather not touch anyone at all). different scenario if she was in the water, but by herself she’s at this stage of the scale.
otto: brute strength. brawls. boxing. clenched fists and can take a hit and doesn’t stop hitting until the other person gives up. also swordsmanship.
helen: the most powerful out of all my non-powered people. she’s got the strength, the strategy, the experience and the training. actual warrior princess helen rider. can also do everything in heels and on horseback. can probably do motorcycle stunts.
betty: she has so much untapped potential; the ursula event was only like a small dose of what she could do if she decided to use her powers that way. could end a fight before it even started.
makaria: ofc a goddess of death would be like the most powerful. fire (hellfire) powers, and shadow manipulation and basic magic and teleportation and also she doesn’t know it yet/hasn’t had a chance but she can manipulate the dead that are devoted to hades. also she’s gonna get her immortality one of these days so Full God Mak Aidoneus™
