Grayson Hawthorne's Daughter Head cannon

Her name would be Caroline Skyler Hawthorne.

She was born on January 1st

Her zodiac sign is Capricorn

She weighed 6 pounds and 5 ounces when she was born.

She had no hair except for a small strand of wheat colored hair.

She was very quiet as a baby. She only cried when she was very hungry or messed in her diaper.

She didn't giggle or laugh as a baby very often. But her father and Xander were the only ones who could get her to.

She had trouble sleeping at night so Grayson, after she had been feed by her mother, would take her for walks in the house. He would show her all the art pieces on the wall and she would coo and lay her head on his chest. She would finally fall asleep, and Grayson, not wanting his daughter to be alone, would bring her back to his room and lay her in between he and his wife.

She was a very well behaved child, hardly ever needing to be talked to.

She is a DADDY GIRL!!!!!!

She loves her mother, but she would rather be with her father.

If Grayson is away she has to call him everyday and night so she can talk to him.

She cries every night he is away and counts the days until he gets back.

She is the spitting image of her father. She has his same colored hair and eyes. Her mannerisms are also like her father.

She does have her mother's smile and gracious personality.

Despite her hard exterior like her father, she has a tender heart and loves to help other people in need.

She adores animals and has her own cat, dog, horse, and chickens!

She loves all her aunts and uncles but she is the closest to Avery and Nash.

She didn't get along with Jameson when she was younger, but now they are best buds.

She loves Xander teaching her science experiments.

Her and Libby have baking lessons every few weeks.

She enjoys showing her parents all that she has learned.

Nash's daughters and her, when they are older, love to go on shopping dates.

She is very good in chess. Grayson taught her when she was 4 years old.

She is an expert in marshal arts, swimming, sword fighting, and figure skating.

Even though she enjoys dressing up and shopping, she is no girly-girl.

When she got older she loves to mimic her father by wearing ladies two-piece suits.

Her and Grayson have time set aside just for them every week.

Her favorite color is Gray and red.

she prefers wearing black and red. And she has tons of clothes in those colors.

She went to a private school, but when she got older she transferred to country Day.

She lives in New York with her family, but was finally able to convince her father for her to go to Texas to be with her cousins.

Grayson hates her being so far away, but knows it's the best for his daughter.

Her favorite season is Fall, just like her dad.

She has watched every season of Law and Order. She also loves a good rom-com now and then.

Her favorite singers are Kelly Clarkson, Taylor Swift, and Allen Walker.

She knows how to play the piano, violin, and guitar.

She was very nervous for her first prom date. Her first date was Xander's son.

They are very close. He is able to make her laugh and takes her out of her comfort zone.

She loves to dance.

Her style tends toward dark acidemia. She sometimes wears bright colors and modern clothes, but not often.

She is 5ft 10 and weighs about 135 pounds.

She is very thin like her mother.

Her and Acacia get along very well. They love spending time with each other.

Gigi and her get into all sorts of mischief when Grayson is away!

Savannah shows her how to do her hair and makeup.

They go on shopping trips and try on hundreds of dress! Just for the fun of it.

Even when she gets married she is still very close with her parents.

Grayson will be the proudest grandfather ever!

She will always remember all the good times she had with her parents, even when they are gone

That's it for now!! Might do another one later.

More random shit with Camila and Berto! (ft. sevika, finn, ran and K.3.L.L.Y) (dividers by @cafekitsune !! go support them!)

Berto, Finn, Ran and K.3.L.L.Y were 100% theater kids. Berto and Ran grew out of it, but still have some habits, however, K.3.L.L.Y and Finn never grew out of it.

Those two competitive mfs were ALWAYS up to date on shit, even if said shit were complete ass

(This also explains their egos💀)

Sevika was probably more of a sporty kinda girl, especially since a lot of things bored her 😭 (if she sees a ball wandering around, her inner soccer-kid self is in fact kicking it, either to a random area or two it's original owner

Camila however, was in fact a band girlie. Before she had to eventually grow up she was always playing the flute or violin. Now those instruments are put away, somewhere in her closet. (Surprisingly, it's still pretty clean since she always took care of it)

This one is sorta just cause why not- idk but Camila is a lesbian, Berto is bisexual and K.3.L.L.Y is also a lesbian! (We love the 3 gayteers)

Despite K.3.L.L.Y and Finn constantly wanting to slap each other on the face (gay on gay crime), they're pretty close (cyborg bond)

Camila does in fact have two different glasses- one for her daily shit and the other for reading (we love a blind as a bat wife 😍)

a/n: I realized this sorta is more modern, so take it as that GHFJDKL

(@archangeldyke-all , @schmoni , @theacedragon0w0, @lavendersgirl @sevikasenby)

(again please let me know if you wanna be tagged in these silly little things haha :D)

[luminouslywriting]

I sense that you're an equal opportunity MOTA girlie, so I have to ask: IF you had to rank Bucky, Gale, Rosie, Crosby and Brady in order of who you'd want to marry, how would this hypothetical ranking go?

Ooh I love this ask! I definitely had to put some thought into this....and I'm going to have to expand on why my rankings are the way that they are haha! Tagging some other people to do the same because I’d be interested to hear their takes! No pressure tags: @prettyinlimegreenboots @precious-little-scoundrel @blurredcolour

Answers below the cut :)

Gale Cleven

So I guess I'm going to spill some information about myself for this to make sense haha! For me, I'm a very religious person and really centered on my morals. From the get-go while watching the show, I was super impressed with Gale and the way that he stuck to his morals and beliefs and didn't change that for anyone, even in a time of war. That shows integrity to me and I really like that in a man. Also, the care and dedication in which he has for Marge was truly beautiful. I've never really been appreciated by any man in my life and so that's a really appealing thing to me. Also, his quiet and tender personality just has my entire heart and soul. As a chronically ill girlie, I really believe he'd be a caretaker and be able to help me learn how to love myself a little more. He's been my man since second one of seeing him on my screen haha!

2. John Brady

Again, for similar reasons to Gale—his convictions and the way that he quietly lived his beliefs really stands out to me. I think that he has a way of loving people and it's simply adoration. I also play a musical instrument—the violin, and have for 15 years. Music is a really big part of my life and how I express myself, so I could see us connecting on that really well. He also just seems like someone really easy to talk to and trust—as seen with how he handled conflict with Crosby and the way that he expresses things. So he'd definitely be my number 2 pick!

3. Rosie :)

UGH this man is just so pretty and I love him! I love his personality and the way that he balances a fun and exuberant personality with being serious and caring about things. I think that where I really deeply care about a lot of causes, we'd get along great. Everyone has always told me that I should be a lawyer or work on human rights or something because of how passionate I am. I also really adore the way that he's passionate about the things he cares about and also really enjoys music! So it's hard to put him below Brady or Gale, but this is just how the lineup turned out!

4. Bucky Egan

So.....here's the thing....I LOVE him. I really really do. But I also know that my personality and his would clash way too much. I'm a chaotic good and he's a chaotic good and that would mean way too much chaos. But ALSO, I'm pretty much Gale Cleven in the sense that I don't drink, I don't dance, I don't sleep around, and I don't smoke lol. I'm also not super spontaneous (don't get me wrong, I can be), but I don't think our personalities would fit well together. I'm too much of a mom friend for him to ever like me lol. We love a self-aware girlie-pop.

5. Harry Crosby

So this was a really hard thing for me to do...........but also this gif should be a reminder to him (HA, oops)

BUT.....I also don't condone cheating in any manner, way, shape or form? Now I understand that it's war and that things happen and coping mechanisms were playing a part...

BUT for me personally, I've been really impacted in my family life by cheating and that has been a really hard thing to live with. So that being said, I can't confidently put him in any other spot on this list. Otherwise, I love Cros! He's smart and funny and has a great way of being charming and smart—but this one thing just was really hard for me to watch.

So all of that being said, my lineup is 1. Gale Cleven, 2. John Brady, 3. Robert Rosenthal, 4. Bucky Egan, and 5. Harry Crosby :)

Nonny, what is your lineup?? I'd love to hear it!

[sailorspica]

reijean hitchannie college band AU headcanons that may not lead to fic form but i feel strongly about because i did undergrad at a huge university with a prestigious music school where everyone was depressed + i've been giffing kids on the slope (2012) w reiner's seiyuu + the given akihiko/haruki reijean agenda:

all the warriors grew up playing classical music w/ varying degrees of parental pressure, for example mr leonhart is a violinist and annie's first and forever teacher so maybe she maims him here too (he's like jk simmons in whiplash); karina is into classical music as a status symbol

by contrast hitch and jean know how to have fun. hitch learned everything from youtube, jean's mom let him quit piano lessons as a kid so he came back to it on his own when he realized it was cool/thought it could get him girls (it doesn't) (inspo: nick cave)

annie (lead/rhythm guitar), hitch (vocals/rhythm guitar/octave pedal "bass"), jean (vocals/keys/bass), reiner (drums). reiner would do bass if he had sukuna arms

reijean meet in intro to audio engineering which counts as a science class for some reason, form the band after roping annie into their final recording project; annie's an undeclared part-time student who mostly works

first they try marco as rhythm guitarist but he is too jazzy and cannot wrap his mind around rock tone, annie is furious (low stakes version of trost; sounds derogatory but marco just looks like a jazz guy)

hitch is a business major who thinks music is a hobby, kinda yasu from nana energy. annie recruits her after overhearing her teaching/berating marlowe before he absolutely bombs an open mic night

hitch is an acoustic girlie (dark ukulele past) but annie and jean take her shopping and she picks a danelectro stock '59

annie plays a jaguar bc of her short fingers, she's some combo of lindsey jordan / luna li but also j mascis

reiner's favorite drummer is karen carpenter, deadass

hitch is the least disciplined which equal turns teaches them to relax but incites rage, annie and jean lock her in a room w reiner bc this bitch cannot count

everyone sings but especially hitch and jean, the vibe is michelle zauner and craig hendrix; i think they hype up the other two who are very self conscious

main songwriters are annie and jean, jean finds jazzy chords that hitch hates

annie was concertmaster of her arts magnet high school orchestra until mikasa showed up and the worst part is violin is mikasa's like, tertiary instrument; now they are ex-gf roommates

opera singer mikasa ruins lives, she is kissing kissing mezzo historia in boy drag (inverse girl armin) in uhhh idk la clemenza di tito

ymir is probably a drummer in a nu riot grrrl band, root of her frenemyship with reiner, also i think she's trying to steal annie and/or hitch

reiner is a cello performance major who became interested in rock percussion after hooking up w eren; eren's taste is incredibly lame, he likes like, dave grohl

eren and mikasa both did piano lessons as kids and she forces him to be her accompanist most of the time, but he and jean tag in and out ever since eren gave himself gamer's carpal tunnel before mikasa's first jury freshman year

jean is Not a music major but he makes money as music majors' accompanist; he could be studio art? or something "reasonable" (a la the MPs, business school hitch), like cybersecurity

annie and marcel = violin, pieck and bertie = viola, reiner and porco = cello

bertolt is living studio ghibli whisper of the heart in italy

for the first half of undergrad reiner lived with marcel in place of porco bc that little shit felt smothered by the galliards bUyINg a whole apartment for their boys, but when marcel graduated pocco moved in and uhhhhh evicted reiner, who thought he had saved enough to make it on his own by living rent free but uhhhhh karina stole it

uhhh pieck looks like my first gay crush (a violist opera singer) so let's say she's studying abroad

point is, reiner is isolated through no one's direct fault, really, besides pock; annie is his closest friend in town and she's such a tsundere about it. he lived on her and mikasa's couch for a week but will never return because it was too awkward even for his broke ass

Get to Know Me

Thanks for tagging me, @saraminia @ramonaflow @apothecarose @flowertrigger @a-noble-dragon !

Name: Carol (shockingly! I signed up for tumblr when I was in a “grab my name everywhere” stage and just stuck with it)

Sign: Pisces

Time: 10:45 am

Favorite band/artist: Off the top of my head, who I’ve listened to this week, in a non-comprehensive way, Jason Isbell, Kate Wolf, Noah Reid, Kasey Chambers, Cheryl Wheeler, Lucy Wainwright Roche

Last movie: Spy Kids? if “sat in front of it and played on my laptop while my kid was entertained” counts

Last show: The last episode of something I watched was Schitt’s Creek (“Smoke Signals”), but the last start-to-finish show was The Lake.

When I created this blog: October 2010! I was consistent with it until mid-2015, and then I mostly took a 7-year break and picked it up again in 2022. My pre-SC archive amuses me. It’s so girly and pretty. Cats and books and shoes and a lot of pink. I recommend it, if you need something cheerful to look at. I should’ve been better at tagging, though.

Other blogs: I have a wordpress blog that’s . . . not abandoned, just not written in for the timebeing. It would be very easy for you to find if google still worked. But, alas!

Do I get asks: only when everyone else does

Average hours of sleep: Eh, about six nights a week, I fall asleep when my kid does and sleep a respectable 7-8 hours, and then about one night a week I do something stupid like start reading “You can fall” at midnight or monitor the state of the world on twitter all night despite still needing to get up on time.

Instruments: I played the piano for a decade in my youth and miss it terribly. I played the violin for four years and don’t miss it at all. I own a guitar and used to be able to play maybe three songs. I also own a ukulele, and the goal was to learn how to play something on it in 2023 (it still could happen!). My house also contains a keyboard, a recorder, a cello, and a finger harp thingy at the moment.

What I’m wearing: Black leggings, gray t-shirt with flowers on it, purple striped socks, navy hoodie. I’m hoping its blatant non-matchingness reads “manic pixie dream girl” rather than “no one’s looking at me anyway.”

Dream job: I do not dream of labor.

LILY’s BIRTHDAY PARTY VLIVE

december 1st, 2020

you know the drill for nct dream birthday parties

they’re all at the long table, there’s balloons that spell “happy birthday lily” behind them

and they all have party hats (except jimin) and snacks and the cake on the table

jimin is seated in the middle, mark to her right, then chenji

to her left is renjun, hyuck, and then nomin

jimin: hiii czennies!!

and the rest of the boys do their shit yknow greeting the fans

hyuck: it’s our jimin’s birthday!!

and all the guys cheer but it’s so loud that jimin plugs her ears and wrinkles her face

hyuck: i remember when she was just a tiny baby :’)

jaemin: she’s grown so much :(

jeno: she used to be even shorter when we met her

renjun: even back then, we were all taller than her

jimin: today, i will be opening my members presents in front of czennies- we can all celebrate my birthday together!! sadly, mila unnie wasn’t able to though :(

chenle: mila noona got her an electric violin

mark: it’s so cool, seriously. and she played misfit on it as soon as she got it

hyuck: i was so shocked- she just knew it already without preparing

jisung: our jimin is talented~~

jimin: it wasn’t hard! i plan to cover dancing in the rain soon, since i helped compose it

a minute later, they start with the gift, youngest to oldest

jisung hands her a single card and everyone laughs

renjun: where’s your present?

jeno: ah, you know he’s always like this

jimin: *trying not to laugh* shh, let me read the car

jisung is just hiding his head in his hands, and the others and laughing quietly

jimin: ‘jimin... noona...’ ahhh, i hate being called that, this sounds so awkward?? anyway, ‘you’ve came a long way. it’s okay that you have grey hairs-‘ jisung!! WHY WOULD YOU TELL CZENNIES THAT

renjun then leans over while they’re all laughing and tries to count her grey hairs that actually exist. girlie’s got premature greyness 😔

jimin: ‘it’s okay that you have grey hairs and are grumpy a lot. you’re just becoming an old woman... but we still love you. happy birthday, from jisung’ you’re dying later tonight, jisung park. say goodbye to czennies now while you have the chance

once they settle down a little, chenle hands her his gift

mark: is there not a card?

chenle: she doesn’t need one

everyone’s laughing again and mark’s is super loud and cute and lily smiles while looking at him

jimin: let’s see what’s inside

everyone is looking over curiously

jisung: i already know what he’s gotten her. he wanted it to be the most expensive gift

jimin: you dummy, i don’t need- OH MY GOD

she’s holding a light grey purse and her mouth is gaped open

jeno: what is it?

yknow when they’re all confused and making those confused noises? yeah they’re all doing that

jimin: YOU SERIOUSLY GOT ME A GIVENCHY ANTIGONA PURSE?? THEYRE TOO EXPENSIVE

chenle: i know grey is your favorite color, so i got that~~

hyuck: HES TOO RICH

renjun: HE HAD TO OUTDO US ALL

jaemin: HE DIDNT EVEN HAVE A CARD

jimin: thank you so much, lele!!

and then she stands to hug him while he’s dolphin laughing

chenle: honestly, your purses all break and are too cheap... this one is supposed to be sturdy and hold a lot without breaking

hyuck: it’s funny when they break at the airport

jimin: shut up... jaemin oppa?

jaemin passes her a card and she freezes suddenly

jimin: will this make me cry? your cards are always so touching

jaemin: just readdd

chenle: she’s going to cry, i know it

jimin: ‘our lovely jimin’ WAHHH THIS IS GOING TO MAKE ME CRY

renjun: just read, it’s okay!

jimin: ‘watching you grow up has been so strange. when i met you, you were such a baby. you were someone i wanted to protect, and you still are. you’re my little sister, and it’s been an honor to grow up with you, to perform with you, and be part of your family. you’re our most precious member, and i love you so much. let’s be together for a long time. happy birthday, koala.’

she was tearing up durinf the letter and you could hear it in her voice but at the end she began to cry more and covered her hands with her eyes as the others slightly malfunction cuz they don’t know what to DO

jaemin: don’t cry, jimin-ah!!

hyuck: get her a tissue! it’s okay~~

mark: *in english* hey, it’s okay! don’t cry, lils *puts his arm around her*

chenle: i told you she would cry

renjun: *helps to dry her eyes with his sleeves*

jeno: jaemin, why did you do this??

jisung: open the present, stop crying!!

^^ and all of those are just kinda all at once it’s so chaotic

jimin: *laughing* it’s okay, i just love you. oppa, give me a huggg

soon she’s opening his gift and she gives a great big smile

jimin: i was going to buy this myself!

she leans on him, smiling

renjun: you’re welcome. but let me get the gift

hyuck: i don’t know what it is, does anyone?

at that point everyone is clowning mark because he got sentimental and sweet and mark and lily BOTH feel embarrassed-ish

jimin: thank you, markie oppa. it means a lot

mark: LMAO you’re welcome... it was nothing

hyuck: open your gift!!

he throws her a small box and she quirks an eyebrow

Flying Solo

Reggie can dance ballet, he learned from his mother and does it whenever he’s feeling low. The band catches him and it turns into a bonding moment.

On AO3.

Ships: none

Warnings: Reggies home life from before they died is mentioned briefly. Tell me if I missed anything or if you want me to tag something!

~~~~~~~~~~

Alex and Luke had been friends since they were very little and had befriended Bobby in Middle School, only meeting Reggie in High School after he had moved to LA from NYC. He had easily fit in to their little group, but they did not know Reggie as well as each other.

Not that Reggie minded, he was a pretty private person. He didn’t like sharing things about himself and had become a pro in talking without ever saying something.

He did not like talking about his home and his parents, so he avoided those topics and made sure to always have an excuse ready about why they couldn't go to his home and he put on an act (partly) of being a dumbass to discourage deeper conversations.

It had even taken the other three a while before they figured out where he was from, only finding out when he had rolled his eyes at the depiction of the Big Apple in a movie.

Reggie liked his new friends though. They let him stay on their couches when the fighting got bad and never pitied him for the bruises.

They were his family.

However, he did not share everything with them, even after they’d gotten close enough to be brothers. Like the fact that his mother had been a professional ballerina, who was still angry she had to give up her studio for his fathers job, nor the fact that he had spend most of his youth there as well and knew how to dance ballet.

He knew they wouldn't judge him for it or think he was girly or weird, he had seen that with Alex. But still, it was his little thing.

The thing he did when he was down, his small comfort that reminded him of better times when glasses remained whole and his mother still smiled.

Ballet was how he had gotten into music, first learning to play pieces on the piano, later violin, then banjo and guitar, which lead to the true love that was his bass. His mother had always been a music person, his dad too. That used to connect them.

So he kept it to himself, only doing small pirouettes and some stretching in his room or old routines on the beach late at night under the stars to the beat of the fighting floating from the house.

But then they died and nothing was the same anymore. His home was a bike shack, his parents were gone and he was a ghost that could only be seen when they sung with a specific girl. The only good thing was that he would keep his flexibility for all of eternity.

Well, that might be a bit dramatic. Julie was super nice, he still had his friend and their music, and Ray was everything he had ever wanted in a dad, even if the man couldn't see him.

It was just that it hurt sometimes.

It hurt that he would never be able to socialize again, that they never had the breakthrough they had worked so hard for, that their music had been stolen by someone they trusted, that the only good father figure he’d ever known only tolerated him because he was invisible, that his friends were finding other people and he was being left behind.

Life, well, death, just fucking sucked and Reggie hated it. Not always, just some days when the loneliness crept up on him and he had no one to turn to.

So he returned to the thing that had kept him going for most of his life, before he had his band, his new family.

Ballet.

First he went to the beach, like he’d used to, but the bike shack was a bitter reminder of what he had lost and the entire area wasn’t the same anymore. So he returned to the Molina house, which used to be the Willson house.

Ray sometimes listened to classical music while he worked and, since he couldn't see Reggie, it was the perfect time.

He started doing his stretches, before he moved on to the basic positions and some other steps. It was nothing fancy, nothing like he’d used to do, but it was calming. Just flying through the space with his eyes closed while memories played on his eyelids.

His mother beckoning him closer with a smile, the older girls at the studio who had adored him when he was younger, his dad at the piano in the living room, while he either sat next to him or twirled with his mother.

The good times.

Soon it became routine to do old ballet routines in the living room while Ray was working and he was sure none of the others would be home or just whenever there was no one at all.

It was pretty handy that he could phase through objects now and didn’t have to deal with pushing everything to the side, although clothes were still an issue. He had a pair of sweats and a tank-top though, but no shoes, so he had to manage on bare feet.

But it was nice, it was comforting, which meant it had to go to shit at some point.

Today had began not that great. Reggie had been awake, like every night, but this time it hadn’t been nice and quiet, just a reminder that he wasn’t alive anymore. He’d gone on a walk, but all the changes were also a reminder and the day had just been doomed from the start.

First he’d wanted to hang with the guys, but Alex had a date (totally not a date, shut up) with Willie and Luke had heard his parents talking about his cousins and aunt coming, so he was haunting them, leaving Reggie on his own.

He had searched for Ray, but the man was away on a shoot and Reggie was truly on his own in the house. Nothing that bad, he’d thought as he decided to dance for a bit.

Quickly poofing over to the garage, he changed into what he had dubbed his dancing clothes, before poofing back and starting up some Tsjaikovski while he did the warming up. He reasoned that if anyone came home, they’d think Ray had left his music on.

He had started with something easy, but he could do that from muscle memory alone, which wasn’t helping him with getting his mind of things. So the routines had gotten increasingly more difficult throughout the day as he forgot completely about the time.

Because he was so focused on jumping at the right beats and stepping in time with the music, he didn’t notice the door opening and the small gasp Julie let out as she watched him. Nor did he notice Luke and Alex poofing back into the room next to Julie.

They had returned to find an empty garage, so they had assumed Reggie would be hanging with Ray, instead they had found Julie staring at something while standing in the doorway.

With their curiosity piqued they had poofed there and looked to find the usually clumsy bassist flying gracefully through the room.

After a fast set of pirouettes Reggie stopped, the dance was over. He stood still for a few seconds with his eyes closed as he caught his breath only to get snapped out of it by the sound of applause coming from in front of him.

He snapped his eyes open and quickly jumped out of the end position as he squeaked: “How long have you been there?”

“A few minutes.��� Julie answered, “But Reggie that was amazing! I didn’t know you could dance like that.”

“Yeah, me neither, that’s sick, dude!” Luke also had processed what he had just seen.

“Why didn’t you ever say?” Alex asked.

“Uh…” Reggie gestured to the air helplessly, before he tried: “Never came up?”

Lukes eyes narrowed as he spotted Reggie lying, which Julie caught onto as she said: “Sorry, was I not supposed to see that?”

Reggie rubbed the back of his head as his cheeks started to flush. He said: “I must have forgotten the time, I’m usually gone before anyone sees. Unless you want to count Ray, but he can’t really see me. It’s my own fault.”

“Why didn’t you tell us?” Luke pouted, “Don’t you trust us?”

“It’s just something personal. My mother used to have a studio back in New York, we danced together when I was little while my dad played the piano, you know, before they started fighting.” Reggie explained, unable to deny Luke anything when he pouted.

“Oh.” Luke looked sheepish, “Sorry for pushing, but that was insane, bro.”

“Thank you!” Reggie grinned.

“Wait, New York?” Julie asked.

“We met Reggie in High School, he used to live in New York before they had to move for his dads job.” Alex explained.

In the background Luke pulled Reggie into a side hug, as he asked: “How can you be so graceful and trip over your own feet while walking, dude?”

“I do not.” Reggie exclaimed.

“You once tripped over air, Reginald.” Alex told him with an eyebrow raise.

Julie now finally closed the door behind her and excitedly asked: “Don’t care how clumsy he usually is, can you show me how you did that?”

“Did what?”

“The dancing? Please, I’ve always wanted to try, but by the time I had outgrown my ‘I’m-not-like-the-other-girls’ phase I was too old to get good and get lessons.” Julie said, “Can you teach me the basics?”

“I mean I could, but I you have to warm up first and I don’t know how flexible you are.” Reggie replied tentatively. Julie cheered, before she raced up the stairs to get changed into better clothes for this, leaving the three boys behind.

“I’m sorry if I pushed you to share.” Luke said after a few seconds, “I didn’t want to force you to tell us that.”

“It’s alright, man.” Reggie said, “I mostly have good memories connected with dancing, it’s something I do when I feel lonely.”

“Do you- do you feel lonely often?” Luke asked with sad eyes, making Reggie realize what he had just admitted.

Reggie didn’t want to lie to him again or make him feel like a bad friend after all he had done for him, so he just said: “It’s been hard turning into a ghost, you know I love to talk to people.”

That was not completely false, Reggie had always been the social butterfly of Sunset Curve and the life of the party. Usually talking to twenty people at the same time, none he had known three seconds ago and he did miss that it just wasn’t the whole story.

Luke saw through the words and felt guilty about leaving his friend alone when he clearly needed company. Alex seemingly had an answer, though. He carefully asked: “You wouldn't mind me joining either, would you?”

“No, of course not. You need better moves if you’re gonna keep joining Dirty Candy.” Reggie grinned.

At that point Julie came barreling down the stairs, catching the tail end of the conversation. She said: “Luke, you have to join now too. It’ll be band-bonding.”

The other two snorted at the idea of bouncy Luke trying to do strict ballet and Luke paled. It was too late for him, however, Julie was set on it. So a few minutes later they were all wearing dance clothes as they cleared the instruments to make space for Julie in the garage.

They had done jumping jacks to get the blood pumping and had struggled with touching their toes and keeping them pointed when Reggie moved to the splits.

“What the fuck, Reg.” Luke exclaimed, hissing in pain as he failed miserably in doing them himself.

“I’ve been doing this since before I can remember, Luke. Would be a bit strange, if I couldn't do them.” Reggie laughed, it was nice to make some more good memories connected to dancing, now with his new family.

From where she was struggling with the split herself, Julie huffed: “What else have you been hiding from us, Reggie? More surprises in there?”

“I mean, I don’t know if I ever mentioned I also play piano and violin?” Reggie replied.

“WHAT!”

[coweringbear]

Tea, coffee, or soda: I prefer coffee! I've always wanted to be a tea girlie but I sadly just do not like it unless it's iced peach tea :( soda is more for dinner sometimes!

Dogs or cats: I love both absolutely, but cats! I'm very much an introvert and I feel like cats typically are as well. My lil guy Charles is attached to me at the hip and I wouldn't trade him for the world ♡

Can you play an instrument: does singing and jamming in the car count? If so, yes I can play an instrument. I played the violin and clarinet as hobbies in middle school but gave them up when I didn't have the time/motivation for them, and I took chorus in middle school so I sang a lot!

What's your sun sign: oh god I hope this just means the regular one, in that case I am a Pisces! I'm an end of February Pisces 🐟

First song lyrics that pop into your head: "Blood red moonlight / Gaining 'til you're over me / Beautiful as everything is crumbling / The flames dance off your eyes" -Death of an Executioner from Pierce the Veil's newest album! I constantly have songs running through my head so this answer could be anything at any given time, there is no predicting it 🧍🏻‍♀️

Do you have any tattoos: sadly, no. I've always wanted some and I have a list of a bunch that I want to get but I'm a chicken and don't have the money rn :( I want my first one to be of my old cat Bigsby laying on his back and stretching so I can always have him w me ♡

Favorite place you've traveled: probably Tennessee w my sister! We went hiking in the mountains for Thanksgiving by ourselves once and even though I got a fever the night after bc I was ill prepared for the freezing weather, I still had a great time being w her. I've never been out of the US, much less the south, but I'm going to DC soon to visit a friend and I'm excited!

What languages do you speak: only English which is absolute garbage!! I wish the US would implement multiple language learning from an earlier age to make ot easier. I took 4 years of Spanish but could not hold a conversation in it or listen and interpret :( I know some vocabulary but not much

What's the last movie you watched: Worth on Netflix! My dad put it on and I thought it was good! It made me sad bc it was about estimating the compensation victims' families would get for the loss of their loved ones from 9/11 but it got better at the end and made me a lil more hopeful that some people realize their mistakes and get involved in the process to try and make it better. Working and thinking empathetically is wonderful!!

Do you have any hobbies: rn I'm about to graduate college so I don't have time for hobbies other than sleeping lol. I used to love drawing but I don't really get the time to do it anymore. I can't wait to graduate and be off in another city working and have some free time!!

You can hang out with one fictional character for an hour, who do you choose: I think Kirishima bc he'd just be very sweet and outgoing while I'm more shy/reserved around new people, so hopefully I'd come out of my shell easily!

Compliment yourself: I am a dedicated student, worker, and friend and I deserve to have someone who is as dedicated to me as I am to them! ♡♡
