b i o g r a p h y . cancer tw, death of a parent tw.

halide kutlar was born and raised in the tough streets of detroit, michigan, the eldest of four children in a turkish immigrant family. with parents who spoke little english, halide learned early on how to navigate between two worlds—acting as a translator, advocate, and caretaker for her family. when her father tragically passed away when she was only eight from a two year battle with cancer, the burden on her shoulders grew heavier. her mother, shattered by grief, spiraled into alcoholism, a series of toxic relationships, and deep depression, leaving halide to pick up the pieces.

forced to grow up faster than most, she became the primary caregiver for her three younger siblings, putting her own childhood on hold to ensure their survival. the weight of responsibility shaped halide into a fiercely independent, tough-as-nails individual, always ready to fight for those she loves, even if it means sacrificing her own needs in the process.

when it came to school, it was always clear that halide was sharp. clever and quick-witted, she had a natural intelligence, but her drive wavered, held back by a deep-seated belief that an education wouldn’t change her fate. with her future feeling uncertain and weighed down by responsibilities at home, halide’s efforts in school were half-hearted at best. at fifteen, she dropped out, deciding to pursue her ged instead. though she failed on her first attempt, her stubborn determination pushed her through, and on her second try, she passed.

around this time, her mother had finally sought help for her struggles, getting sober and stepping up again for halide's younger siblings. relieved of the burden she had carried for so long, halide moved in with her cousin in red creek, michigan, eager for a fresh start. despite the change in scenery, her fiery temper stayed with her. halide was never one to back down from a fight, and if she saw something as unjust, she wouldn’t hesitate to speak her mind—or throw a punch. it didn’t matter whether it was a guy or another girl, halide’s sense of right and wrong was unwavering, and she fought for what she believed in, no matter the consequences.

halide quickly dove into the workforce, but her fiery temperament often got her into trouble. it wasn't uncommon for her to clash with coworkers or customers, leading to her being fired from various jobs, whether it was waitressing, receptionist work, or retail. despite her efforts, it took her a while to find her niche. just when she felt like she had hit rock bottom, she landed a job as a receptionist at the local tattoo shop, devil's ink. it was here that halide discovered a newfound fascination with tattoos and piercings. though her drawing skills left much to be desired, she realized that piercing was a skill she could master.

with determination, she quickly became an apprentice to the shop’s current piercer, soaking up knowledge and experience like a sponge. now, she stands as the main and only piercer at devil's ink, turning her passion into a career and helping others express themselves through body art while simultaneously carving out her own identity in a world that had often tried to define her.

as the town of red creek is gripped by a wave of disappearances and murders, even someone as tough and battle-hardened as halide feels the weight of unease creeping in. normally unfazed by chaos or confrontation, she's found herself watching over her shoulder more often than she'd like to admit. the once-quiet town has become a place of fear and suspicion, and halide—always one to protect those she cares about—can’t help but feel the pull to do the same for her community. though she’s used to fighting her own battles, this is different. the sense of dread in the air has unsettled even her, and while she'd never admit it, the thought of losing someone to the killer’s grasp keeps her awake at night. with each passing day, the weight of the past, combined with the growing danger around her, only sharpens her instincts, making halide more determined than ever to survive and protect those around her.

h e a d c a n o n s .

halide has a serious addiction to tattoos. it doesn't help that she works in a tattoo and piercing shop. while she also has a lot of piercings, she thinks she's way more addicted to tattoos.

has a serious love for physical activity. she currently is taking boxing lessons.

halide drinks black coffee religiously, often relying on it to fuel her late-night gaming sessions or when she’s pulling long shifts at the tattoo shop.

she often changes her hair color and style impulsively, using it as a way to express herself.

halide has a soft spot for animals, particularly dogs. she rescued a doberman puppy two years ago and he is her pride and joy.

she has an eclectic taste in music, from punk rock to hip-hop, and she frequently attends live shows in her spare time. vinyl collecting is a passion of hers, with a special focus on local artists.

despite her temper, halide is fiercely loyal to her friends and will go to great lengths to protect them. she’s the first to defend those she cares about, even if it means getting into trouble.

she has an interest in the supernatural and enjoys watching horror movies and reading about urban legends, often discussing them with friends during late-night hangouts.

she occasionally attends anger management sessions, to better understand her emotions and reactions.

Hello to my 2 followers I am back. I was staying at this Air B&B in California and they had a VINTAGE BATH AND BODY WORKS SPRAY CAUSALLY IN THE BATHROOM? I got to wear it as perfume. Note that this is first time I have ever touched one of these bottles with my own 2 hands.

[girl-of-ink]

Now I must know your favorite perfumes ���️👁️🧠⚡️

Right now i'm switching between Bath & Body Works Sugar Plum Swirl as my cheap everyday fragrance, a tiny vintage bottle of Elizabeth Taylor's White Diamonds that a friend gave me for vintage outfits, & Taylor Swift's Wonderstruck (my all time fave) for special occasions :)

I usually prefer sweeter/sugary scents, but I also love the sophistication that a floral scent can add to a vintage or vintage inspired outfit

these two worked really well together, enhancing the varsity leather jacket vibe of autumn nights with vintage 🏈

on washing clothes from Mend! A refashioning manual and manifesto by Kate Sekules

(please buy the book, or rent it from a library, or order it through a library to rent from them, or rent it through a library ebook collection etc. etc.)

Wash Less

Washing is killing your clothes. Every laundering shortens a garment’s life by, oh, a month (see endnote 8*). I bet the source of the one-wear wash idea was Procter & Gamble’s Mad Men–era marketing team: overwashing sells more Tide (it can also redeposit soil on clothes and set stains permanently). Not washing is getting awfully trendy now, for green reasons, but the main mend-related reasons are that less washing—and definitely less tumble drying—paradoxically saves your favorite clothes, and probably time, too.

There are three reasons to wash a clothe: removal of stain, or of germ, or of smell. I daresay smell (or fear of) is what propels us fastest to the washing machine. But listen up.

Less Laundering ≠ More Stinking To overgeneralize, but not really, because athleisure, clothes get stinky when they’re made of synthetic fiber. Ridiculously, the clothes manufactured expressly for sweating into are the most petrochemical of the lot.

Yes your performance fiber top wicks your sweat, but then it hugs it to its bosom, maybe refusing to let it go, ever, in a phenomenon scientifically named perma-stink. Synthetics are hydrophobic but oleophilic—they hate water, but love oil—so they cling jealously to body odor compounds, but refuse the advances of your washing machine.

The more you fight your running tights, the more they resist—dryer sheets and extra detergent and heat drive the smell-causing bacteria deeper into the fibers, where they take up residence. Antimicrobial finishes such as silver chloride don’t deter them at all. It is gross.

I’m not here to lecture on eco-water-saving detergent-minimizing, though this is a happy side effect of many old-new methods. I’m here to keep good clothes alive and mendable. I confess I’m a bit conflicted about stains. Set-in stains invite mending, and mends invite conversation, and then you can tell everyone about the bacteria partying in their pants.

So I’ll ignore stains, aside from the kind that attack and degrade fabric or can’t be mended or spoil the overall beauty of a thing.

Speaking of ignoring, follow only the bits that sound appealing: the last thing we want is the return of washday labor and guilt. I’ve been around the laundry block—never owned a washer-dryer till I was a mom; been a student, a traveler, dirt poor, addicted to wash-dry-fold service—and after all this, I’ve discovered that tending clothes is actually fun.

Anyway, decide for yourself. Here are assorted old-school and costume specialist hacks to mend your cleaning routine and keep your favorite garments alive:

Gym stink. Sweat is odorless. The smell is bacteria breaking down proteins into acids. Left in a swampy pile, these reproduce like a horror film. Arrest the breeding! Rinse gym things out in plain water and hang to dry right after committing the sweat.

Or switch to all-cotton workout wear. It’s hydrophilic and oleophobic, the opposite of synthetics, so absorbs and holds or wicks sweat, but resists oils and smells.

Aromatic pits and the crotchal region. Sorry to be graphic, but you know what I’m talking about. Try these professional theater costume department and vintage dealer nowash fixes:

Give it a drink. Spritz generously with pure (cheap) vodka; let dry. No alcohol smell!

Connect to earth. Sprinkle fuller’s earth on the bits overnight. Vacuum up, with stink.

Acidulate. For allover smell, steam garment over a hot bath of white vinegar solution.

A paste of baking soda and water is much cheaper than Febreze and often works better.

SOS: Save Our Sweaters. Handwashing in cool water is the only way. You don’t need to do it often. Invest in perfume-priced cleansers or use baby shampoo. Rinse thoroughly, squeeze gently, then . . .

Reshape (it’s called blocking) the wet sweater on a fluffy towel, Swiss roll it, and kneel on the roll to squish out water. Never wring knitwear. Dry on a fresh towel, turning it periodically.

Air dry whatever you can, especially vintage, most of which should never go in the dryer. Your hand mends last longer when air dried, too. Use ordinary hangers if you lack line or frame.

Add a few drops of lavender essential oil to water in a spray bottle to spritz on while ironing.

Yellowed cotton might have gotten that way from dry-cleaning. Add borax to the wash. And hang out in the sun—which is mostly terrible and verboten for fabrics, because of this bleaching effect.

Care labels are often as generic as the website cookie disclaimer that you never read and fulfill a similar legal function. Nearly everything can be gently handwashed.

Exceptions are: velvet, satin, taffeta, brocade, some silks, anything tailored or structured, and everything under Special Concerns in the chart on pages 144–45 (Historic fabrics, weighted silk, embellished fabrics, real lace, metallics, 3d effect fabrics, fur real/fake, net/mesh, hand painted, leather, suede*). Beware rayon: very tricky and variable.

Spot clean and steam fancy clothes—or, in fact, most clothes. Vintage dealers do.

For embellished items, borrow the museum conservator method: vacuum on low with open vent and flat nozzle through a gauze screen edged with tape.

Forget wasteful sticky-sausage lint cleaners. Use an old-school clothes brush or the kind that picks up lint one direction and deposits it on the reverse journey.

Mildew. Omnipresent fungal spores that feast on your damp natural fibers. It’s serious and contagious. Dry, vacuum, dry-clean, revacuum. It may be too late for this poor garment.

A final little trick. Scribble all over metal zippers with graphite pencil: nonstick magic. endnote 8*

Unreliable statistic that I made up. This is an experiment in misinformation. Because nobody’s done this math, I wonder if the figure I just invented will get quoted and thereby eventually become true? Other notes:

No, really, perma-stink was coined by human ecology professor Rachel McQueen et al., “Odor Intensity in Apparel Fabrics and the Link with Bacterial Populations,” Textile Research Journal 77, no. 7 (2007): 449–56.

The no wash and the dry (or raw) denim movements are ecologically motivated but are also having the effect of bringing more natural fibers and finishes to market. They sell at a high price point for the most part, but this is beginning to trickle down—though such clothes can’t and shouldn’t be sold too cheap; they’re investments. Also, PS, infusing with peppermint oil or whatever does nothing long term to decrease the need for washing: all natural, untreated fibers are resistant to microbes.

Ulterior motive: as a lifelong devotee of pure cotton sweats, I prefer its wicking, slightly baggy, nonstinking qualities, and wish it would catch on.

I could go on and on about detergents, which are often foul in so many ways. For an up-todate and reliable breakdown of their relative merits, see the rated reviews by the 501(c)(3) nonprofit Environmental Working Group, https://www.ewg.org/guides/categories/9-Laundry/. You may find your go-to wash solution has earned a solid “F” grade.

Extra credit: invest in a horizontal drying rack or make one out of window screen gauze.

A steamer is a wise investment—they’re effective, gentle, and far more fun than ironing.

Hello hello 💕. I noticed you’ve mentioned ELP as one of the wrestlers you write for and I’d like to know if you could give us something with him and an insecure reader? Thank you so much xo

Hello darling 💕 Yes, I love that man and this will be a dream come true 🥰

It sounded like a good idea when you first got started in the morning

The soft 40’s style curls Riley loved so much were the first thing you started to work on as soon as he left your room this morning (because lord knows foam rollers take forever to set correctly)

A long bath, followed by your shea body butter and a sultry makeup followed much later in the evening

And at last getting dressed in your fancy blood red vintage style lingerie you brought along in your suitcase and some perfume were the last touch for the night

It all sounded incredibly perfect, until Riley texted you saying he was going to get ready in Jay’s room so you could head downtown for a date night. That was when insecurities really started to kicked in

Whenever you looked at your own reflection in the mirror, every possible doubt crossed your mind and you saw a flaw on everything

Your makeup suddenly didn’t look nice, your curls seemed flat, the lingerie was one number too small than it was supposed to, the heels didn’t match the lace properly, your boobs looked weird in that bra…everything was unexpectedly problematic

You were trying to figure it out how many minutes would it take for you to get rid of this and hop on the shower before Riley was back when suddenly the hotel bedroom opened.

You only had time to murmur a “Shit!” Before you tightly closed the bathrobe around your body. “Hey” You tried to sound normal as Riley finished locking the door.

“Hey” He turned around and the small movement was enough to make the scent of his cologne travel to your nostrils. “Well, hello there” Riley’s blue eyes instantly darkened with lust as he measured your covered body from head to toe with his eyes. “Loved the hair”

“Thank you….so ummmm….what do you want to do? Do you wanna-“

“I wanna see what’s underneath the robe” He took slow, predatory steps towards you with a smirk “What are you hiding in there, huh?”

“Nothing” You replied as fast as you could

“Nothing?” Riley dipped his head down until he was mere inches away from your lips “That’s even better”

His hands quickly undid the robe belt and pushed the soft fabric down your shoulders. Riley took a step back and sat on the bed to take in the sight in front of him.

“Damn, bunny” He growled as his hand came down to adjust his painful erection “Are you trying to kill me?”. Seeing the small frown between your eyebrows and quickly realizing what was going on inside your head, Riley clasped his teeth on the hem of your red lace panties and pulled you towards him.

“You look fucking stunning!” He murmured against your skin before pulling you down to straddle his hips

“D-do you think so?” You shivered as his fingertips roamed through your soft skin

“Here, see it for yourself” Riley took your hand and dipped in between your bodies, traveling down to his crotch. Your fingers bumped against the incredibly hard length and his eyes grew even darker with need.

“You’re so fucking hot, bunny. So fucking sexy, perfect and all mine” Riley’s hands played with the hem of the pantyhose covering your thighs before letting his hands travel down the soft fabric as he caressed your thighs “I fucking love these!” He moaned at the feeling of the pantyhose against his fingertips.

You giggled “I know you do, that’s why I brought them along”.

His eyes gleamed with mischief “You know, I hope you’re good with room service for tonight because I don’t plan on leaving this room”.

“But I thought you wanted a date night” You chuckled when Riley quickly pinned you back down on the mattress “Oh I do have a date night” He pulled your bottom lip with his teeth “With my sexy pinup hooker”

And just like that you knew that would be your roleplay for the rest of the night.

Aight, It’s Psychonauts Brainrot Hour so, here have my headcanons on what everyone smells like:

First Game(minus Ford and Augustus):

Raz: Old worn leather, wool and buttered popcorn, as well as stew and powdered chalk depending on time spent around the circus/caravan, and a hint of dirt from his time at camp.

Sasha: Very thick mixture of Cigarettes and Cologne, latter to cover up the former, occasionally Machine Oil and Wielded Metal but usually only when he’s been down in the lab or in the work shop for prolonged periods of time. 

Milla: “Gee,Your Hair Smells Terrific” Shampoo and Conditioner, along with Rosehip Oil, Cocoa Butter,Scented Candles/Incense and sweet perfumes that vary by the day. Sort of a lot like the fruity/floral/sweet scent sections at Bath & Bodyworks. Lilli: Woodsmoke,Pertichor(Rain Smell),Mint and Vanilla Perfume, as well as flowers. The Campers: Craft Glue, Pine Needles, Summer camp Food and for some reason in my head, Cheez its. Either Cheez its, Peanuts or Smores/Animal Crackers depending on the Camper. I imagine Kitty,Franke and Elka also smell like those flavoured children’s lip balms, especially the ones that smell like Strawberries, Bubblegum and Cotton Candy, on top of Kitty smelling like those candy scented body sprays they always market to tween girls. Milka also smells like cat fur. Crystal also smells like Thin Mints, and so does Clem by osmosis. Nils always has the faint smell of chocolate Animal Crackers on him. And Mikhail is the one who is especially guilty of smelling like Pine Needles, but also always has the faint scent of lake water and cattails on him as well. Oleander: A Camo shop, as well as that New Tent smell. A Rabbit Enclosure.

Loboto: Dried blood, Salt Water and a Dentist's Office

Boyd: Molotov Cocktail Solution,Milk,Cigarettes and someone who hasn’t had a shower in 6 or more years. Also Kitty Litter. Gloria: Vintage Perfume, Flowers, Plant Soil and Old Makeup, specifically Lipstick. 

Edgar: Acrylic and Fabric Paints, Linseed Oil, Paint Thinner and Vinegar. 

Fred: Pinewood, Duckcloth and Cardboard, as well as Craft Glue.

Sheegor: The Ocean. Also a Dentist’s Office by Osmosis.

The Psychic 7:

Ford: Shoe Polish, as well as generic Bacon,Barber's Shampoo, Dettol and Dishwash Soap. 

Lucy: Wool, Meat Stew, Lavender, Tea and freshly washed Quilts

Otto: Just, Copious amounts of Coffee, Machine Oil and a bastard that hasn't left his sacred dwellings for almost 3 years. 

Cassie: Honey, Lemon Tea and old/antique book scent, aged paper 

Compton: Anxiety, actually no. I always headcanon him as smelling like Black Liquorice for some reason. Black Liquorice and Sugared Black Tea with Honey.

Bob: Fertiliser as well as Pertichor(that classic Rain smell), Plants/Herbs and when he was still drinking, Alcohol.

Helmut: Hookah. If not just generally very sweet, like Strawberries and Butterscotch.

Motherlobe Folk:

Truman: Sage and Vintage Men's Cologne

Hollis: Expensive, rather musky/oriental smelling perfumes. I imagine something like Amber,Musk and Sandalwood. Nick: Aggressively like fish.  Agents in general always seem to have this looming air freshener smell to them, sorta like an Airplane, like that musky New Plane/Fresh Scented Air Freshener smell. Also Noodlebowl lady smells like breakfast and baked goods.

The Interns:

Norma: Hell, no for real, she smells like she's perpetually on fire. That sort of Smoke smell, just a very aggressive Smoke smell

Lizzie: that bottle of Dior's Poison Perfume that she shoplifted a good bit back

Adam: Teakwood Cologne/Body spray and fresh linen

Sam: Pancakes, very questionable pancakes paired with pine needles, goat fur and what a hamster would smell like. 

Morris: An aggressive amount of Hair Gel and Axe Body Spray

Gisu: A Skateshop, that sort of woodsy, wheel grease, Acrylic Paint, New Vans smell is what I'd best describe it as. 

The Aquatos:

They all smell like chalk powder in some sense including faint visages of such on Raz since that's what they use to dust their hands to prevent them from getting sweaty during shows and practice sessions

Augustus: Very woodsy, like Pine needles, freshly chopped wood and a Fireplace, with a thick scent of French Toast, Chalk and Burnt Caramel, very faint smell of popcorn

Donatella: Cheap but fancy Rose Scented Perfume and florally scented Talcum Powder as well as powdered chalk.

Dion: An aggressive amount of Hair Grease, paired with one spray of Men's Cologne and a faint smell of sweat and powdered chalk

Frazie: Very strongly of Marzipan, like that very aggressive Almond Meal candy smell, with a very faint scent of talcum powder, chalk,hay and buttered popcorn 

Mirtala: One spray of Dona's cologne, paired with the smell of chalk, cotton candy and that little kid smell of Baby powder/Baby food and Crayons

Queepie: Little kid smell (again of Baby powder, Baby food and Crayons) + Dirt

If you've been around little kids or have had little siblings before, you know exactly what smell I'm talking about, that's just the best descriptors I have for it.

[charismaquark]

it continually amazes me, just how many things there are to be passionate about. pick a topic and there’s probably a whole community of people discussing it in more detail than you could ever have dreamed was worth thinking about.

i like perfume. well, i thought i liked perfume. i have an inherited bottle of chanel no. 5, two precious little flasks from a fancy parfumerie overseas, a couple of things i picked up at bath & body works because they smelled nice. i know florals and citruses, musks and vanillas. give me a description and i’ve probably got a vague sense of whether i’ll like it.

today i found a perfume blog. (we won’t talk about how i got there, because i sure wasn’t looking for it.) and… i could not make sense of half of what i read.

do you know how many words they use, these fragrance connoisseurs? top notes and sillages. chypres and florientals. i’m fairly sure they don’t use the term “green” in the same way i do.

do you know how much history there is, how much context and reference there is to explain and compare things? versace, givenchy, yves st laurent. giorgio, which everyone loved until everyone else started using it. love’s baby soft, quintessential tweenhood of the 80s. inspirations, comparisons. vintages and originals.

do you know how much emotion there is? the fierce quibbling over ma griffe, whether it’s a triumph of audacity or a bygone disgrace. the joyous anticipation of hunting down a long-lost vial in a thrift shop. the rush of memories from uncorking something your grandmother used to wear, the belated realization that her generation marked that scent as a wild girl’s statement piece. the melancholy, in knowing that you’ll never know the scent of a signature in its heyday, that forty years from now your favorites might not be recognizeable either.

i study science. i know about jargon. most people i talk to won’t understand gravitational microlensing, stereoisomers, iterative optimization algorithms. there’s a good chance that they don’t know the difference between kirigami and a kite base, tunisian dwarf stitch from irish lace.

some people watch star wars for a lark, leave the theater and move on with their lives. some people post calligraphy quotes from lord of the rings on their wall, and never crack the book open again. some people read mistborn and then leave the memory of their tears on the library shelf.

and this satisfies them. they say, yes! i like it very much. and yet they never think to debate the moral implications of the jedi code. they don’t know who fëanor is, and probably don’t care. they have never wondered whether allomancers can burn shardblades. it mystifies me.

and yet. how many people would look at me and think, how quaint, that she doesn’t know a socket wrench from a sautering iron. a daquiri from a doppio. a chiaroscuro from a cheongsam.

how many worlds do i miss while my eyes glaze over in polite confusion?

maybe i already have a floriental, languishing unnamed in a drawer of cheap perfumes, because i’ve never known or needed that word before.

it’s strange and beautiful, to be reminded of all the things i don’t know.

Christmas on tour was wild, the band went crazy. They decorated the tour bus in lights and garland, Ricky even hung a mistletoe above the door for the members who had girlfriends.

This year they decided to do secret Santa, everyone got to pick a name and of course you got Rickys of all people. It wasnt that you didn't like Ricky it was the complete opposite. You had the biggest crush on him and you couldn't believe that you actually got him. So you wondered around with him for awhile before the show started one day to see what he really wanted or really liked to have without giving him the hint that you were his Santa.

"So Rick, have you been a good boy this year"? Your question made Ricky laugh almost spitting his monster out of his mouth.

"Why do you ask"? He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.

"Well, if you don't tell anyone. I'm an undercover elf for Santa". You giggled. Ricky rolled his eyes with a smile.

"I bet Chris got my name and he sent you to ask me ideas for Christmas, right"?

"I can't say".

"Just tell him I've been a very good boy and I want this vintage camera that I saw at a antique store. It's three hundred bucks and I know he can afford it. He just bought five hundred dollars in shiny pants and makeup".

"Alright, I'll let Santa know". You said walking away from him. Three hundred dollars was kind of pricey for you, you didn't know if you could afford it or not but if Ricky wanted it then you'll find away to make it happen.

Ricky sent you a picture of the camera and where to find it. Oddly it was in the city that you were in just for a couple days so when the guys went on stage you snuck off and got the camera hiding it in your suitcase surrounded by your underwear and bras. No one would look there. Just say you're not going to be eating fancy anytime soon. Romen noodles for months in your future.

Christmas was around the corner and the guys were all excited, Vinny wanted to scream who he got and it was funny. He couldn't keep a secret at all which was good for you cause you knew who he got and what they got. Ryan would get a shock and probably kill Vinny with it in his sleep.

It was officially Christmas and things were hot. Did you know that cooking a turkey in the oven, that said oven hasn't been used before until now makes a small tour bus feel like death is melting your skin off with a blow torch? Well it does. So Ricky had a great plan to sit outside in the snow and open presents while the turkey cooked.

"Vinny you go first". You suggested with a smirk.

"Sure, here you go Ryan for those lonely nights in the bunk". Vinny said with a laugh.

Ryan opened the box slowly, he didn't know if something was going to jump out at him. He busted out laughing when he pulled out a blow up doll. Everyone laughed, Ryan's face was beet red.

"Thanks man, I'll make sure she comes an visits you during the night". Ryan laughed shaking his head.

"Y/N, you want to go next"? Vinny asked.

"Yeah, here you go Ricky". You handed him a box with a red bow on top. He looked confused.

"I hope you like it". Ricky smiled as he started opening it, then his jaw dropped and a excited squeal came from him.

"I love it thank you. Its just what I wanted". He said with a hug.

"I'm glad you got it. It's a really neat camera". You shyly said.

The secret Santa's kept going, you were next Chris got you and he surprised the shit out of you by getting you front row tickets to a chip and dales show. It was kind of awkward and all but you had no clue why he got you those.

"Um thanks". You shyly laughed.

"If you don't like them you can sell them or whatever".

"No it's cool, just have to find someone to go with me".

After the awkwardness went away you went to check on the turkey leaving the guys to talk.

"Can I ask how much that was Ricky"? Ryan asked as he watched Vinny try blowing up the blow up doll using his mouth.

"I think it was three hundred. Why"?

"Just asking".

"Come on man why"?

"I was playing on Y/Ns phone and her bank sent her a balance check and she's broke this month. That camera took all her money".

"Then why would she get it"? Ricky felt guilty and horrible that you would spent the last of your money on him.

"She wanted you to have it so thats what you got".

"But I didn't want her to be completely broke. We really need to put a limit on how much to spend".

"Why would you suggest a three hundred dollar camera to her"?

"I thought she was asking for Chris".

"Me? I can't afford that much".

"Please, we see who's wearing new pants every show and who spent hundreds on make up from hot topic". The others eyed Chris.

"Fine. What do you want us to do"?

"I don't know, I can't let her spend this much on me".

"Then why not make it up? Like she's going to need things this month make her a gift basket"? Vinny suggested. Vinny had an idea? Wow. The guys were amazed.

"You're surprisingly a genius". Ricky smiled. "I'll go shopping for her tomorrow, gotta do some snooping to make sure I get the right things".

"Hey guys turkeys done". You poked your head out the door.

"Great, we're starving". Vinny rubbed his belly.

"Where do you put it? You just ate a whole solid chocolate reindeer".

"I have a high metabolism, you know being a drummer and all". He winked as he passed you going to sit on the couch.

"Right". You laughed, going to get the plates. Ricky had the turkey and everyone was ready to eat. Christmas dinner was served.

That night Ricky tip toed and sorta went through your stuff but for a good cause he had to make sure to get the right things.

The morning came and he was the first one up and out the door heading to the nearest mall. The first place he stopped was bath and body works. He maybe all in black and very goth but if you wanted to smell like vanilla then he would go in just for you.

He dodged the sales lady and went straight to the lotions grabbing the bottle that looked like the picture he took and ran to the check out.

He went to hot topic and got you a few eyeliners and some eyeshadow. Even a cool neckless that he thought would look great on you.

Then final stop was walmart, he grabbed your kind of deodorant, razzers, shaving cream, shampoo and conditioner. He even went down the aisle that he promised himself that he wouldn't go down until he was married, the feminine aisle. He grabbed two boxes of tampons the right kind he check four times to make sure. He grabbed something called lady wipes, he thought you might like them too. Ricky picked up odds and ends of what he thought you would like, chocolates, snack foods, stuff that none of the guys would eat but you would like. Your favorite cereal, bagels and cookies. He went all out for you.

Not forgetting the basket.

Ricky rode in the cab putting the basket together, making sure everything was going to fit. He may have went over board but he didn't care at all.

Pulling up to the bus he paid the cab driver and headed into the bus. It smelled so good, you had took Christmas leftovers and made a casserole for everyone.

"Y/N"? He called out, the basket in his hands a smile on his face.

"What the heck, Ricky"? You said with a chuckle, your hand covered your mouth in shock.

"I know it doesn't make three hundred dollars but it's a thank you and a start. If you need anything I'll get it just ask".

"Oh, Ricky. You didn't have to do that, I'm good". You said with a shy smile, you didn't know he knew about the money troubles.

"No its no problem. I feel bad that you spent that much on me and you didn't have it. I wish I can take the camera back". He said with a frown.

"Don't you dare, I wanted you to have that. I wouldn't have gotten it if I didn't think that I could manage with what I got in the bank".

"But you worked hard for that money. Putting up with us and dealing with our shit. You deserve more". Ricky sat the basket on the floor next to him and walked to you, grabbing your face smashing his lips on yours.

"God, I've waited a long time to do that". Ricky breathed out. You blinked a couple times to make sure you really saw what happened.

"Why did you kiss me"?

"Because I like you and not because you bought me the camera which I love by the way". He let out a laugh as did you. "But I've never had someone do that for me and takes as good of care of me as you do. You're sweet, caring, good hearted, smart and beautiful. I can't resist you".

"You're a smooth talker Ricky Olsen and extremely kind to do that for me". You kissed his lips this time.

"I want you to never have to worry about money again so I'm upping your pay too". You laughed rolling your eyes.

"You don't have to do that too. The basket is enough".

"How about the next day we're off I take you on a date and we can officially go on a date and say we're dating"?

"I'd like that. Plus I get to try all my new lotions and shampoos".

"Speaking of lotions, never send me to get them. I almost died in there. There's perfume being sprayed everywhere and my nose couldn't take it. I thought I was going to die".

"You're so funny". You kissed him again, he wrapped his arms around your waist keeping you in his embrace.

"Thank you".

"You're welcome, Merry Christmas". He rubbed his nose with yours and kissed you again.

"Merry Christmas". Best Christmas ever!

𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐀 𝐋𝐄𝐈𝐆𝐇 𝐒𝐋𝐎𝐀𝐍𝐄 ;; 𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒅𝒆𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒔 . . . 

the little things . . . 

× what does your muse smell like? what perfume/cologne are they using?

more often than not , sunscreen & vanilla . . . clara’s not really one to spend much time in the mornings to put extra effort in on a day to day basis , and what with being down south and all , and being such a fan of being outdoors , sunscreen’s kind of a daily thing . hints of vanilla come from shampoo & conditioner . but if she is wearing a perfume , you bet it’s daisy love by marc jacobs .

⌘ do they rather shower or take a bath? || ♀ how long does your muse usually need for a shower/bath?

r.i.p. anyone who ever lives with clara ( cough , devon ) because this bitch takes forever in the shower . baths aren’t really her thing , unless she’s had a couple really , really bad days in a row and she needs to chill . but otherwise a bitch just takes . . . incredibly long showers . first of all , her hair is–– a lot to maintain in and of itself , so there’s that , but also ! clara’s always moving a million miles a minute , and sometimes she forgets to slow down and breathe . so she kinda just . . . completely spaces out in the shower , yikes . better leave her be for , at the very least , 45 minutes , and hope there’s not a drought .

♂ does your muse put on make-up? how long do they need for it every day? || ⚢ what kind of make-up does your muse use? favourite colours? how much do they use?

daily ? nope . she’s lucky in the clear skin department , and more often than not goes barefaced . maybe a little bit of mascara , because the girl does have hella lashes , but for the most part she’s a clean slate . . . and that has a lot to do with the fact that she never really learned how to do her makeup . what ? y’all think jack sloane knew a damn thing about that stuff ? i mean we’re all for dismantling traditional & toxic masculinity , but come on . coach is coach . everything she knows , she’s learned from georgia and olivia , and even now , the art of getting the perfect wing is witchcraft to her . that said , warm tones . light shimmers . long lashes . golds & coppers & bronzes . that’s what you’ll find on her color palette .

♤ does your muse have any scars? where? what do they look like? how did they get them?

you bet she does . there’s just one to note on her left knee , and it’s not too hard to miss , despite fading over the last few years . clara started gymnastics when she was small , mostly because she had too much energy , and every sloane kid ever starts a sport at a young age . as she got older , she began competing , because that’s what sloanes do , and she was damn good , boys . was she into the competition part of it all ? not particularly , but she loved how powerful the sport made her feel . unfortunately , the week before she was meant to compete at the national level , when she was fifteen , she landed short during a practice and ripped ~~ the fuck ~~ out of her acl . the scar on her knee is from surgery to repair that incident , and afterwords , you bet clara sat her dad –– and her grandpa ––  down at the dinner table and said no sir , i am done with that . . . she can still tumble , she’s still pretty flexible , she likes to exercise those skills every now and again at a very mild level just for the sake of keeping that powerful feeling , but competing is a no - go . she’s happily on the sidelines .

♧ any freckles/moles/birth marks? where? || ♠ any ‘weird’ characteristics on their body

she gets a little freckle-y in the summer . her cheeks and her shoulders . she does have a small birthmark on her right hip , just low enough to hide under most bottoms . as for weird characteristics ? you should know clara wears her emotions on her face . she’s got a bad habit of blushing , as it just comes easily . also she can wiggle her ears :-) her dad used to tell her that meant she’d be the tooth fairy someday .

♥ do they have more muscles or more fat on their body? || ♦ any tattoos? where? what’s the story behind them?

clara is . . . almost all muscle . . . like the girl is very toned . after her knee injury , she slowly got back into working out , which is her way of kind of chasing that same feeling of power she used to get with gymnastics . as for tattoos ? she does , indeed , have one . it’s on her left side rib cage , in very small black font , and it’s just the numeric time stamp of her brother’s birthday . does her dad know ? absolutely . he’s got something similar etched into the workings of a colorless quarter sleeve . it’s the only ink he’s gotten since his twenties .

⦂ what clothes do they sleep in?

queen of drowning in 2xl t - shirts and hoodies . 9/10 times , that’s it , that’s all there is . a big tee over shorts . but occasionally the pendulum over swings back in the opposite direction , and she’s got a couple of silk sets she wears most often in the summer . and sometimes , you’ll find a cotton set of calvin kleins is . . . all sis can handle .

♚ do they have a favourite piece of clothing?

you BET she does ! two actually . she’s got a ‘vintage’ louisiana state football crew neck that she’s lived in for years . it’s . . . her dad’s from the early 90s , but she’ll always refer to it as vintage just to piss him off . she’s also got an old , distressed denim jacket that she wears everywhere .

❅ what do they usually wear when they’re NOT working? || ☏ what do they wear when they’re at work?

oh , man . clara is queen of faded denim and primary colors . she’s almost always in a big , thrifted t shirt with some busted vans and the aforementioned denim jacket . her hair ? almost always pulled back in a ponytail because there’s just a lot of it . if it’s not a big tee , it’s a cropped something or other . she’s got an array of athletic clothes , but only wears those to work out because clara sports cannot be your only personality trait ma’am !! at work , though ? when she’s on the field for her athletic trainer gig , best believe there’s a lil clara flare on the requirements . a dillon quarter zip or windbreaker , if it’s too hot , a. logo polo that she’d wear reluctantly . her hair is always pulled back into two very long braids , and often you’ll find a distressed dillon baseball cap on her head . . . backwards by the end of the game .

types of girls: eye color

girls with gray eyes: overcast skies, dream logs, that time of year when summer is just turning to fall, driving at night on the highway with the windows down, green tea, husky voices, long limbs, poetry and dark circles, knee socks and oversized sweaters, long stories, photographs of secret, hidden places, comfortable silence and content sighs, slows down to match your pace, willow trees and the woods, the sound of pages turning and the smell of libraries, warm heart and cold hands, slow kisses on your collarbone, lazy morning sex and quick showers and soul mates, dark chocolate, earthy tones, “be the change you wish to see in the world”, getting lost in her passion, window seats, fiddles with jewelry absentmindedly, knitted blankets she made herself, speaks her mind, has a hard time letting go.

girls with brown eyes: soft pink sweaters, clammy hands, feverish heart, and nervous giggles, blue skies and turning up the music as far as it can go. Sweet tea, jet black calligraphy on pastel walls, rose gold, pockets on dresses, late nights and cuddling and bodies that fit together like puzzle pieces, short legs taking two steps at a time to catch up, being swallowed in bear hugs, 3 a.m. texts, floral arrangements in a small downtown shop, cotton candy perfume, bubble baths, rough sex and naughty lingerie, unread books with catchy titles and pretty covers, driving through the city lights at night, eye shadow that sparkles, white cats with fluffy tails, leggings, “what happens, happens”, new music and new hobbies, handwritten letters in the mail, bean bags and glass vanities, laying in bed watching cartoons all day and then going somewhere nice for dinner and drinking fuzzy navels till its late.

girls with blue eyes: hot, hot summers and flower crowns, iced coffees and espresso, skater dresses and tanned legs and wanting a love like in the romance novel tucked in her purse, high heels and freckles, art museums with the AC too high and canvases with cold minimalism but a fiery heart and a hot head, the smell of magazine perfume and full days in her planner and learning a new language for fun. Giant comfy beds but deep sex against the wall, falls in love with his laugh and the way his eyes crinkle, shopping dates and falling asleep on the trip home, starry nights and rows of flickering candles around the bathtub and a tattoo meant only for her eyes, “it’s a good day to have a good day”.

girls with green eyes: romantic gardens and bullet journals, hot chocolate with fat marshmallows on chilly days, open yards and paths that stretch for miles, adventures to unexplored places and flea market finds, craft projects and puzzles spread across a vintage wood table, teaching a friend something new, breweries and breakfast in the afternoon, movie nights, paisley and cinnamon, picnics and cat naps in the sun, “keep nothing in your home that does not bring you joy or have meaning”, warm heart, open arms, glances from beneath her lashes, bonfires and home-cooked meals, long, long hair and doe eyes, vanilla sex but dirty jokes, scrapbooks and boxes of memories, dresser drawers full of warm blankets, fairy lights on the porch.

girls with hazel eyes: mochas and cafes and kicking up leaves, stickers on her laptop, denim jackets and band t-shirts, lacy panties and neck kisses and sex in the car on the beach at night, watercolors and cloudy days and lost to the world with her headphones. Too shy to confess to her crush. Thick brows and cupids bows and half smiles and glasses she can hide behind. Traveling by airplane and pristine-clean hotels. Messenger bags covered in buttons of her favorite things, sharpie sketches in a notebook, sugar scrubs and lavender soap and neat handwriting, lonely meals and quiet moments to herself, bakeries and coffee shops and bar stools and people-watching through the shop window, “you mess with my friends, you mess with me”, says little, thinks a lot, laughs loud, long-distance relationships and early mornings with black coffee and messy hair, holding hands and leaning down to kiss her, falling asleep on the sofa with a good book, “Roses of Yesterday” by Tony Bennett playing softly on the radio on her way to work, cobalt blue and velvet.
