The Transfer Seven (Rainbow High OCs) Bio 4: Pepper Zielinski

COLOUR: Pepper green

YEAR: Second

GENDER: Neutrois

FOCUS: Culinary Arts

STYLE: Retro. Active. Vibrant.

QUOTE: “Let me cook.”

BIO: Growing up in a cramped Polish neighbourhood in New York gave Pepper a deep love and appreciation for home cooking, and watching prime time bake-off shows with their mother after school gave them the inspiration to take what they learned in the kitchen to new heights. Now as the top student of Rainbow High’s small-but-thriving culinary department (and top chef at Rainbow Union), Pepper’s out to prove once and for all that just like fashion, cuisine is an art form all its own, and what the eye sees is just as important as what the tongue tastes. From the perfectly swirled tye-dye frosting on their cupcakes to the subtle spice in every bite of their kielbasa-topped pizzas, no one can deny that Pepper is a true artist in the kitchen—not even Vera.

OTHER:

-They’re a good friend of Kia Hart, bonding over their work at Rainbow Union.

-Their roommate is Magnolia Todd, and naturally they’re quite protective of her.

-They’re sixteen years old and from Greenpoint (ha), Brooklyn, NY.

-Proud of their Polish heritage, they incorporate elements of traditional food into more modern/American dishes (e.g. smoked kielbasa instead of pepperoni as a pizza topping; chruscikis with doughnut frosting and sprinkles).

-Predictably, their favourite food is stuffed bell peppers, prepared the traditional Polish way.

-Their dream job is as a gourmet chef or food stylist.

-They prefer to wear long sleeves to hide their kitchen-related burn scars.

-Though quiet and introverted IRL, they have a very active social media presence, running a food blog where they share their recipes, as well as an Instagram where they post pics of their finished dishes and timelapses of their food styling work.

-Pepper’s personal style is a mix of streetwear and formal, with sporty jerseys over button-down blouses and neckties, and baggy vis-keiesque pants over formal shoes. Patterns on their clothes are all inspired by retro diner decor, and they’ll even accessorize with an apron or cute soda-jerk hat.

-Vera Rougely seems to think of them as her personal set caterer, but Pepper’s true reason for catering her sets is because they feel bad for all the actors and techies she works half to death.

-Renzo frequently invites them and Magnolia for video game hangouts (on the condition that Pepper brings snacks, of course).

-They believe that makeup has no gender, and they prefer sparse but edgy looks in terms of eyeshadow, eyeliner, and lipstick. No false lashes, hair extensions, or acrylic nails for them, though—those would get in the way of their cooking.

The brainrot took over and so here's a vat7k hadestown au!! Don't know if I'll develop it fully but I liked designing it at least!

More info under the cut:

- Varian, the Coronan royal alchemist, tasks himself with deciphering an incantation capable of bringing the world back into tune. Times are tough, and the royal family + Quirin are doing their best to cope with the meagre crop yields and desolate weather (Corona not really being the sunshine kingdom - hasn't been for a while). He wants to help and do good and I think he'd be a good Orpheus.

- Hugo, having moved about from place to place, still has his interest in alchemy and does what he can to get by. He plans on temporarily staying in Corona before looting, but he encounters a certain like-minded scientist at the Snuggly Duckling. I think him being selfish works especially well in Eurydice's role, having a more pessimistic view of the world. It also works with how he gets drawn to Donella's offer of working for her later on, leading him to his death.

- Ulla as Persephone! I was initially stuck on whether to have Rapunzel (and either Eugene/Cass) as her (and Hades) but I was drawn to the connection that Hugo has to Donella and the Donella/Ulla relationship in vat7k just works too well. In this case, Ulla won't be Varian's mother. She's still gonna be somewhat of an inspiration to him though, being the previous Coronan royal alchemist and for her intelligence. For half the year, she'll return to Corona with food, drinks, and alchemical compounds/inventions, bringing Spring and Summer to the world, if only for a bit.

- Donella would be such an interesting Hades, losing sight of her love for Ulla, heart filled with fear and hurt, leading to bitterness and cruelty. Ingvarr being Hadestown and how by being the esteemed Ingvarrian engineer, she'd be in charge of major technological advances across the kingdoms and so would wield a significant amount of power (like how Hades is literally the ruler of the underworld). Ingvarr essentially being a near death sentence for its workers while also displaying its technological prowess, all still shrouded in mystery and corruption - a place so otherworldly compared to the rest of the kingdoms.

I didn't want to modify the outfits too much nor the personalities,, if anything I imagine the general plot beats being the same as the original musical/story but with slight differences that'd you get inherently as a result of these characters. I wouldn't want it to be the case where it's just the show but the names are changed. I'd want this to still make reasonable sense in this AU, with the actions being understandable for this particular cast of characters.

For Hermes, I ended up picking Xavier, as he's most knowledgeable of old legends and stories, which would work in reference to the Hades and Persephone myth (and so Donella and Ulla)! He'd act as a mentor figure for V, someone who can guide him in uncovering the forgotten incantation. Quirin would still be the good supportive dad he is (even if he doesn't fully understand his son's project).

Last but not least, the fates!! often lurking in the background, I'm still a bit stuck on who it could be? I'm tempted to have it be Raps, Cass, and Nuru as they've had celestial connections at some point (and ya know how stars can represent fate), but I also love the freckled siblings dynamic so much. Also Team Radical... Maybe Raps and Cass can be their normal selves but their Sundrop/Moonstone counterparts are the manifested physical forms of the fates? They wouldn't be visible to the characters though, just voices in the wind.

Anyways yeah!! Those are my thoughts. Do let me know if you've got any cool ideas or questions. I'm really combining my interests at full force and there's nothing anyone, not even myself, can do about it quite frankly. 😮‍💨

when is Bioware going to admit that the Evanuris are the archdemons

[cream-and-tea]

writing apollinaire burnthestars backstory is kind of hilarious like what do you mean you’re becoming a teen dad to your own younger brother nobody asked you to do that

The most annoying fandom thing for me right now is that I have TWO complete GothicWolf fanvids and a third half-way done. But I cannot find a way to upload them.

Youtube confuses the fuck out of me so I'm...nope. Tumblr can't handle it. IDK why but brain stops me from sharing the drive.

But Tumblr can handle sneak peeks. Soo....

Sneak Peek One:

[kaiyonohime]

Well, the doctor confirmed what I knew two weeks ago. I'm not pregnant.

At least I can stop taking the damn meds that were making me sick for a day. Starting tomorrow it's daily shots to try for another egg harvest.

I don't really have much hope for this round either. Given just how unprofessional the doctors are, if there were any other ivf option less than three hours away I would do it. But after this round I'm calling it quits. And submitting a stack of complaints.

[girlfriendsofthegalaxy]

im at the part of the unemployment/health chores where i am continually (politely!) harassing four different entities. why isn’t my shit done. why did you lose it. hello are you alive

[bumblingbabooshka]

Tuvok-B'Elanna dynamic at its core to me is Weird Girl on Playground vs Girl Who Walks Right Up To Her & Says "You're Weird." while everyone else just heavily implies it. Also, the reason Seven/B'Elanna works so well is their weirdgirl 2 weirdgirl communication Also 2) Seven is going THROUGH it with Janeway...Janeway is Seven's Popular Girl Friend who's sort of being condescending to you but also is genuinely trying to be nice and also there's a lesbian undertone to all your interactions as she tries to get you to submit to a makeover and that relationship will be with you forever and you'll never be able to fully say it was good or bad - yet it haunts you. Seven's relationship with B'Elanna is thinking "I hate her boyfriend so much I could treat her better" so hard that her head explodes. You know Tom did something at/before prom and Seven swooped in. You know this to be true. B'Elanna thinks Seven is so pretty and why would she even hang out with a loser like me? Why be a weirdo when you could just be popular Miss Perfect??? And they have this sort of antagonism but understanding of one another even as they keep pissing each other off and being annoying.

The Transfer Seven (Rainbow High OCs) Bio 7: Magnolia Todd

COLOUR: Magnolia pink

YEAR: First

GENDER: Female

FOCUS: Accessory Design

STYLE: Cozy. Cute. Nostalgic.

QUOTE: “You never grow out of the things you love.”

BIO: Magnolia, or Maggie, or Nolie, or Lia, depending on who you ask, doesn’t have a lot to say to most people, but if one’s thing’s for sure: if she makes you one of her schoolwide-famous custom plushies, you’ve made a friend for life. After social media ads for her online plush store were noticed by some recruiters, she jumped at the chance to switch from her plain ol’ school to Rainbow High and follow her lifelong dream of starting her own toy company. Though not everyone understands her love of dolls and stuffed animals, she’s found her own clique where she’s both inspired and free to be herself, and as the only freshman of the Transfer Seven she’s kind of like everyone’s little sister. She loves to dress and accessorize in a similar way as her plushies—the fluffier, the better. With a sharp mind for business and a heart softer than stuffing, Magnolia’s sure to shake up the industry in big ways.

OTHER:

-Magnolia is autistic and largely nonverbal, only speaking when she feels comfortable and stimulated just enough.

-She gets overwhelmed easily, especially by large crowds, backlogs of assignments, and loud noise. In times of imminent meltdown, she retreats to her room and hides under her mountain of plushies for safety.

-She was born in Rhode Island and is fifteen years old.

-Her special interest/hyperfixation is plushies and dolls, and saves her money to buy her favourites as well as making and selling her own. Her room in the dorm suite has them stacked up to the beams.

-Her comfort object is her fox plushie backpack and she’s never seen without it.

-Fuzzy is her favourite texture and she wants it everywhere all at once—fuzzy slippers, fuzzy jackets, fuzzy backpack, fuzzy socks, fuzzy phone charms, fuzzy winter hats, etc.

-She’s actually quite good at video games, even fighting games, and is a regular at Renzo’s hangouts and tournaments.

-Pepper calls her Nolie, Sienna and Vera call her Maggie, Aubrey and Coral call her Lia, Renzo calls her Mags. She answers to all four nicknames.

-The other six dote on her to the point where it makes her slightly uncomfortable, but even Vera is known to show a kinder side of her personality where Magnolia is concerned.

-She loves pastel colours because they’re easy on her sensitive eyes and make her feel safe. Pinks, purples, and yellows in pale shades are her favourites.

-She wants to join the Sleepover Society.

-In terms of hair, she prefers non-elaborate styles with thick bangs—and plenty of room for big bows and/or decora hair clips.

my first mental health professional trying to break it to me that an unstable childhood is bad for a child’s development even if they felt like it was fine: okay but how many schools did you go to???

me: are we counting transfers or unique educational institutions because that does matter

[yugioh-why-not]

I really want to see some of the parents in Sevens, like imagine your children coming home and going. I lost a card game, time to transfer schools! Like not one parent had an issue with this? Like if my child was transferring for such a stupid reason I'd be like fuck no! I don't care if you lost a childrens card game. You're not transferring schools for that. If your unhappy and wanna transfer go ahead, but not because of a cardgame.

[ineffablefool]

Does anyone have knowledge (from which I might benefit) about how staffing decisions (scheduling, onboarding/offboarding, etc) work at universities in the UK (regardless of whether there’s big differences between regions/countries)?  Asking for a fic.  (parentheses.)
