vi and stevie baby !!!

@strangeperfectionss || If they had a kid meme

Name: Levi Baker-Young

Gender: male (he/him)

General Appearance: t-shirts and jeans typically. loves some good jewelry tho. has his ears pierced.

Personality: super chill. will roll with anything. does his best to be a supportive friend but also easily distracted so sometimes you're venting and he accidentally started thinking about something else entirely.

Special Talents: total theater kid. fantastic makeup artist. would love to go into it professionally.

Who they like better: how DARE you ask him to choose (it's vi tho but don't tell stevie)

Who they take after more: probably an even mix??? i think he gets the chill vibes more from stevie but the outgoing parts of him from vi and the creativity from them both.

Personal Headcanon: they adopted him as a baby!!! it was a teenage parents situation and an open adoption. he's not close with his birth parents, but he checks in with them here and there.

"nah, that's definitely you," jer says firmly with a shake of his head. "you are brilliant in all things and i merely stand in awe." he smiles softly at that. "you think so?" he asks before thinking about it and chuckling lightly. "i wanted us to get here. and i'm so glad you were brave. and maybe a little proud," he adds, voice shifting into a question. "is that weird?" when she tells him she wouldn't have been able to keep her feelings to herself forever, his heart stutters. she really was so much braver than she knew.

"look at you continuing to bring up very, very good points. i'm starting to think you might be the brains behind this whole operation," she plays along, smiling brightly at him. "i'm really happy that we're here too," she agrees. "i'd like to think we would've gotten here eventually. maybe not as quickly, but i don't know, you make feel a little braver. i don't think i would've been able to keep the way i felt all to myself forever."

a james and genny baby please!!

Name: Elodie Mary MacKenzie Gender: female General Appearance: blonde hair, blue eyes, a practiced smile perfect for posing in political ads Personality: Elodie is a bit of a perfectionist and very type A. she's organized and goal-oriented and ready for whatever is next. she's not afraid to make mistakes and is brutally honest about her own shortcomings because striving for perfection seems stressful and she's way too busy for that. Special Talents: Elodie has a black belt and can take down someone twice her size like it's nothing. at first, she convinced her dad's detail to show her some basic self-defense and after that, she just wanted to keep learning. luckily her parents were on board so long as she stopped challenging grown men to a match Who they like better: what a weird question she likes them both the same. she was definitely a daddy's girl when she was little but she's grown closer to her mom as she's gotten older because her mom is so understanding and sometimes dad just doesn't get it. but liking one of them better? impossible. Who they take after more: probably mom. both are organized and kind and have a patience for James MacKenzie that will guarantee them a place in heaven someday. Personal Head canon: When Elodie gets mad at him she tells her dad she's not going to vote in the next election. (not that she won't vote for him just that she won't vote at all because she knows that's the only thing that will really upset him. "Civil engagement with our youth is vital, Elodie!" Sure, dad.)

@strangeperfectionss​ sent:  ‘you know i love you,  right?’ from az platonically !! maybe during the drama???

it shouldn’t be shocking, but alexi is honestly just stunned into silence for a long moment. he’s not good at soft, mushy things like this. his family isn’t good at soft, mushy things like this. but he knows his friends love him. or at least he knows they probably did before all of the bullshit. “…even though i make it difficult?”

[cryptidiots]

@strangeperfectionss sent:  “  i think i might be in love with you.  ” from indie for erasmus !!!!

the happiness that floods him upon hearing those words from her is truly indescribable, immeasurable. it’s a unique kind of joy that he doesn’t think he’s ever felt before, in the centuries he’s been alive. it feels lucky, almost. maybe like a blessing. and his smile at her is wide and sappy; warm in a way that only she can make him. “i think i’ve been in love with you for a little bit. i just hadn’t realized yet,” he answers.

“Listen, I’m just saying that it wasn’t supposed to work out like this, right? It was supposed to be better. But it isn’t and that’s frustrating and I can’t tell anyone else so I have to unload on you and I’m sorry but I already feel better.”

@strangeperfectionss said:  ❝ I’d give him all that I am. I’d give him all that I was. I’d tie our hearts together, chamber by chamber. ❞ (from az for leo!!) || yearning meme ( accepting )

Zach nods, and thinks that to some extent, they understand what she’s saying, what that feels like. But they’re talking about her, about Leo, not about them, so they keep quiet on that front. They take a sip of their beer, glad for once to be spending time with Azalea while off work. “Good,” they say. “I think that’s exactly what he needs. I think... it’s probably good for Leo, to have someone so totally in his corner. But don’t tell him I told you that.”

still accepting this meme!

They hadn’t argued in exactly thirty-four days, sixteen hours, and fifty-seven minutes but Nora can feel a tension headache coming on based on the way he’s looking at her. She’s tried. Honestly she has. She’s been careful with her words and with her assumptions. She’s even asked for his opinion more and taken a step back when she caught herself being too overbearing. 

Still, his look makes her think she must have done something to upset him. At times, she feels like he’ll always have her on her toes. She’s quite surprised when she instead finds herself crowded against the wall with his lips pressing against hers. Surprised and not at all displeased. 

She thinks she gets him back just a little when she returns his kiss if the way his grip tightens ever so slightly is any indication. Nora quickly stops keeping tally after that. 

When they pull away, she genuinely smiles up at him for what must be the first time.

Jitters

For: @strangeperfectionss Verse: pen to paper & heart to heart Characters: Raphael and Lucinda Summary: Sometimes Lucinda has good and helpful advice. Occasionally.

It’s Lucinda who approaches him about the subject, which is… somehow both surprising and not at all. Romantic feelings aren’t her area of expertise. She’s never been in a serious relationship, but neither have most of their siblings. Leo might be the only one who’s come close. But Lucinda notices things more than the others. She can tell when something’s up with any of them, almost immediately.

She knocks at his door frame as he’s packing, a gesture of boundaries that isn’t always demonstrated in the house. He tips his head, inviting her in without words as he returns one shirt to his closet and grabs a different one. She settles onto the bed, watching him pack without comment for a few moments.

He switches the shirt out again.

“You nervous?” she asks.

“I feel like I shouldn’t be.” He pulls two more shirts, holding them up to ask her opinion.

“It’s normal to be nervous. ...pack the white one but also do you still have that light green sweatshirt Michael gave you like forever ago?”

“Is it? Uh… I’ll have to check, but probably.” He folds the white shirt carefully, setting it into the neatly packed suitcase and returning to the closet.

“Yeah. And good. Bring it. It makes your eyes pop.”

“Do I want my eyes to pop?” he asks, glancing back at her with brows furrowed.

“Uh, yeah. Definitely. I mean, you’re nervous because you like her, right?”

“We haven’t officially met yet. Liking her seems… irrational.”

“Hate to break it to you but feelings aren’t exactly rational, my dude. So you like her and you want her to like you, correct?”

“Yes to both.” He finds the sweatshirt, grabbing it and holding it up for her inspection.

“Then you want your eyes to pop and she’ll be swooning immediately. That’s the one.”

She takes it, folding it for him in a near perfect mimicry of his previous action. It’s nice to remember that she pays attention, even to the small things.

“What if she doesn’t like me?”

“She already does or she wouldn’t have invited you to New York.” She spoke with such confidence that it made him feel like his question was absurd, even though he knew it wasn’t.

“What if once I get there, whatever… I don’t know, magic or spark or what-have-you isn’t there anymore?”

“Raphael,” she says, standing to place a hand on his shoulder and give a gentle squeeze. “It’s still going to be there. You’ve been writing and texting and calling and skyping pretty much constantly. She likes you. And when she meets you in person, she’s going to fall in complete love with you and your cute puppy face. I’m no scientist, but I think it would be scientifically impossible for her not to like you more after meeting you.”

“What if--”

“You know better than to ask ‘what if’ questions. She’s gonna adore the shit out of you. She already does. Just breathe. And I’m taking you out to dinner in like an hour, because if I don’t, you’re gonna spend your whole night re-packing this suitcase.”

He takes a deep breath and offers her a sheepish smile. “Not the whole night.”

“Probably the whole night. Be realistic. Do you need help picking out anything else?”

“...a tie.”

“Alright, let’s see what you’ve got.”

what about a chloe and shane baby???

@strangeperfectionss || If they had a kid meme

Name: Marie Myers Lambert-Holden

Gender: female (she/her)

General Appearance: kind of a boho vibe most of the time? makes her look very much like a hippie. she is not.

Personality: a lot less of a disaster than her parents lmaooo. a little high strung and with a shorter temper than most people, but she's got some very good coping mechanisms. not good at sitting still or like... doing nothing?

Special Talents: woodshop! she got really into wood working as a way to stay busy.

Who they like better: maybe shane a little?

Who they take after more: she got some of shane's less-than-ideal traits. even if she would not respond to "i love you" with "well fuck"

Personal Headcanon: she's a kickboxer! when shane noticed she was sort of struggling with anger in the same way he did as a kid, he wanted her to have a healthy outlet for it so he got her involved in a few different fighting type sports. kickboxing is her fave, but she also has some martial arts experience. she fucking hates yoga, though. the calm vibes irritate her.

oh, he's never been so grateful to know emmalyn. out of all his friends, she might actually be the best one to be talking to in this scenario. he drops his hand in hers. "let's go. i'm so ready to be out of here." he shouldn't have come and when he realized it was going to be a problem, he should have bailed immediately. but he's here instead. "i owe you dinner." at the very least.

holy shit. she’s gleaned enough to figure that robin’s home life wasn’t great, but this is way worse than she was expecting. “do not apologize for that. you cannot keep shit like that inside and we can talk about it more once i get you outta here. we’ll speedrun through the living room without even acknowledging anyone.” she decides to just fuck it and drops her empty cup on the balcony floor. the whole place is gonna end up trashed, what’s one extra cup? “give me your hand, it’ll help if i can get us through the sea of people together,” she says, extending hers to him. she might not be the best at cheering someone up because emotions are so not her strong suit, but she can definitely handle orchestrating an irish goodbye.

“  knowing you is like…coming home. like i’ve finally found something that’s been missing all this time.  ” from aspen for jasper!!

@strangeperfectionss || i lost the meme but i'm always accepting them all

jasper is not a soft and squishy person who melts when someone else says something nice to him. he never has been. but aspen has always brought out something kinder in him, something warmer, and the words bring a small smile to his lips. “i’m… not good at the sappy stuff, but… you make me happy. like… happy in a way i didn’t know if i was ever gonna be. and i’m just… so fuckin’ glad vi and az introduced us. i’m gonna owe them for that for the rest of my life, because i can’t imagine my life without you in it.”
