A bitter and small chuckle leaves Nathan's lips when she says he doesn't have to listen to his father. If only that were true. Nathan had learned what it meant to cross his father. It was the reason he flinched away from touch. Why he shut down when people hit him. Why he was terrified when he was yelled at. Why he liked to keep a decent bit of distance between himself and other guys. Nathan had been given black eyes, bloody noises, cracked ribs, and a broken wrist by his father on at least a few occasions. The very idea that he didn't have to listen to him went so against everything he had been taught that he had no choice but to chuckle and shake his head. But he couldn't exactly tell her any of that. He kept it vague with everyone. My dad is a dickhead. Never the full details.

"I do..." He confesses, his own vulnerable gaze upon her. But just before he could sink down into his own rotten feelings, Rachel pulled him up with that smile and the sparks in her eyes. He felt what people called butterflies in his stomach. Maybe for the first time in his entire life.

He follows her instruction and imagines it. No more chains. Out of the reach of his family. It was terrifying to not be THE Nathan Prescott. But as much as his family name was a shield, it was also a blade that cut him deeply. His heart flutters in his chest seeing Rachel's smile.

"I've never been to California." He confesses. "Always wanted to go. I would love to see where you USED to cause trouble, Rachel." He was smiling too. Her smile was contagious. He could picture them getting into trouble wherever they went. Traveling and taking pictures would be the best - especially if she was at his side. "Florida is kinda cool. My parents have a place there. Partying with you in Miami sounds like a good time." At the mention of Mt. Everest, he laughs a little. "Rach, I would fucking love to freeze to death on a mountain with you." It was a subtle way of saying he would try but he wasn't exactly confident they could make it.

"Where would you want to go? You gonna model and act?"

“You know, you...”  She paused, or rather hesitated whist she brought her vulnerable look to meet Nathan's, then she realized she was showing more emotion than she ever allowed herself to, then masked vulnerability with mischief.  “You don't have to listen to him.”  Although that was easy for her, who had been disowned by her father at fifteen years old and who had disowned him in return, to say. However, with every choice came a consequence, and with the decision to cut her father— and step-mother, by extension —out of her life, came an unbearable loneliness. She had no family—but did she ever?

Suddenly, the heaviness that came with their topic of choice, that came with bringing hidden depths, masked sadness to the surface, became unbearable. A change was needed and of course, as usual, Rachel took initiative. She shifted and twisted, bringing herself face to face with Nathan with a smile and a look in her eye that gave away that they were about to embark on an adventure.

“Imagine with me for a little bit,”  She made a gesture, instructing him without words to look ahead, at nothing but at the same time at everything in front of them, which right then and there consisted of the courtyard.  “You and me, we decide we've had enough, that this town doesn't deserve either of us, and we leave Arcadia Bay in our rearview in the middle of the night. That's the best time to do it, you know. With everyone fast asleep, there would be no one to stop us.”  Just theorizing, she found herself giddy, teeth sinking into her bottom lip to keep her smile from growing any wider.

“Where would we find ourselves first? California? You would get the Rachel Amber experience; a tour of my old stomping grounds. Or perhaps Florida? Ooor... would you and I be more adventurous, less predictable than that and could I somehow convince you to trek Mount Everest with me?”

what was with cameron house md she spends 90% of the episode saying she wants their patient to die bc he's a genocidal dictator and her colleague husband says "babe it bothers me for ethical reasons that you want our patient to die :(" and she said "hm maybe you're right :/" but when it comes down to it the genocidal dictator lays a finger on her in an aggressive manner and chase instantly commits medical malpractice to murder the guy and then when he tells her she LEAVES HIM bc boo hoo he's a murderer now like GIRL he killed a man for you!!! he's wracked with catholic guilt!!! he's being crushed beneath the weight of his sins because he chose his devotion to you over his devotion to god!!! he literally could not get any sexier at this moment in time!!!

is this something i should've included in my 2024 wrapped? probably. but i'm still doing it to close off the year! (´◡`)

incredibly grateful to have gotten so much love in the past three months. i'm not able to respond to everything, but trust that i see every comment— whether in the replies, reblogs, or in my inbox.

if anything, let this be a reminder to support your favorite writers/creators. in an algorithm that thrives on likes, reblogs with comments in the tags/replies/asks make a world of difference. if you liked someone's work, let them know.

here are some of your words that have stuck with me. 🫶

if i can love well, it's because i've been loved well. please let me repay all your kindness in 2025 and for however much longer that i can (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧ if you got this far: happy new year! i wish you clarity, courage, and compassion at every turn. xo

I mean can't we give Ollie some sliver coins or silver spoons and forks to befriend him? If I'm not wrong ravens love silver objects but does apply to him? But he looks like a special and prideful bird so maybe no? 🤔

Well since I got spammed in quick succession, I feel inclined to address this point for point.

🌿 Corvids being attracted to silver/shiny objects is a myth. TL;DR: repeated anecdotes (not hard data) and confirmation bias perpetuate the myth further.

🌿 Oleander likes Pokeberries and he also likes Dazeberries from Briar Valley

🌿 He is a familiar, not a pet. There is no befriending, period.

🌿 ALSO!! Relax 😭😭🙏I tell everyone this all the time but please don’t overthink or worry about really esoteric stuff too much. That’s my job and sometimes @/oddberryshortcake’s job. At the end of the day, they’re just additional drawings in a fictional fantasy setting, and most of the time it’s really straightforward.

human resources guy just called me into his office and i was like ok finally i'm leaving this place. turns out they gave me a new position and a higher salary y'all
