"so, tell me," savannah spoke out, reaching for one of the cookies that she had made earlier in the day. one of the perks of being a food creation minor meant having special access to the kitchens on campus. they came in handy with wanting to make snacks when the occasion arose. what was on the menu tonight? just simple chocolate chip cookies. sav's guilty pleasure and one of her favorite munchie items. "are you a bong or joint kinda person? i have both for my lovely guests," she added on, crossing her legs together on her dorm floor as her playlist began in the backgroud.

"what would you give it out of five stars?" the girl glances down at the book that was in his hand, being placed back into the packed shelf. if she had to be honest with herself, she was in a little bit of a reading slump, unable to find something that really grabbed her attention from the get-go. "well, how about you look through my goodreads, that's where all my best recommendations are. though, you will just need to ignore my most recent did not finish. i blame booktok for the over hyping of it," she added on, digging out her phone with her free hand and offering it to the other student.

〝     your  detective  skills  are  on  point.     〞bash  remarked,  letting  his  gaze  flicker  back  to  the  woman.  he  was  quick  with  his  words,  never  quite  hesitating  on  an  opportunity  to  be  a  complete  ass,  warranted  or  not.  one  couldn't  say  he  played  favorites,  even  the  rare  one  who  was  close  to  him  would  be  subjected  to  an  earful  of  venom.  it  wasn't  personal.  well,  most  of  the  time  at  least.  〝     read  it  before,  actually.     〞he  clarified,  raising  the  book  slightly  in  his  hands.  still,  it  could  probably  read  a  few  extra  times  and  sometimes  new  would  be  learned  with  each  turn  of  the  page.  〝     humor  me,  then.  what  would  you  recommend?     〞he  questioned  before  placing  the  book  perfectly  back  in  its  resting  place.

"oh," she says once more, finding it a bit humorous as the boy frantically pulled out his ear buds to speak with her. she had found herself in his position one too many times, always at the best parts of songs when someone had to interrupt her. "it's all good, i was just askin' about what you were listening to. do you have any favorites from them? i'm always trying to add new tunes to my playlist," she added on.

his head tilts to the side, quite clearly seeing that words are leaving her lips yet not a single one registers. that's until he realises both earphones have been wedged into his ears this entire time. he acts shameful upon removal, tucking either one into his t—shirt's neck opening. “ can you uh—— can you repeat that? i didn't realise they'd been in this entire time. my bad. ” sheepish grin settles on lips, briefly breaking the held gaze to pause the music still blaring from earbuds. what a moron. no wonder he couldn't hear himself when pestering those surrounding him, sav included.

[whimsyhearts]

"i can only assume that you're one of our new lovely faces around campus?" savannah asked, his face unfamiliar and not part of her 'welcoming committee' group. she could imagine how friendly he had been with his group, or if he had even spent more than five minutes with them before disappearing. "did you just recently add that one to your goodreads account? we can switch handles for it," she questioned once more, curious as to what kind of books he might prefer.

regret  flowed  for  speaking  more  than  his  original  sentence  as  the  stranger  went  on.  he  didn't  have  any  strong  first  impressions  –  no  reason  to  be  acting  how  he  was.  bash  could  blame  it  on  the  jetlag,  or  being  uprooted  across  the  ocean,  or  having  to  adapt  to  new  academia…  realistically  though,  a  full  dose  of  attitude  and  displease  was  usually  required  of  any  interaction  with  bash.  at  least  sober  ones  –  and  god,  was  that  painfully  the  case  since  the  international  travels.  〝    nope.    〞he  stated  out,  popping  the  p  for  exaggeration.  he  let  his  gaze  settle  past  the  woman  to  peak  at  the  titles  just  in  case  there  was  something  worth  his  time.  〝    if  i  get  one  more  ‘  you  should  read  oil  and  orgasms  ’  i  may  lose  my  fucking  mind  〞as  if  it  wasn't  already  lost,  but  that  wasn't  the  point.

"well, hello to you cutie!" savannah feels a smile form on her lips at the sight of the small puppy. there had been some plus sides to the recent merging of the two student bodies and it happened to come in the form of small animals and new faces. "honestly, would this be a terrible time to admit that i've always been a little bit more of a cat person?" she asked.

“ surely they didn’t want us to stay there the whole time, right? they couldn’t have expected that? ” the big nebulous ‘they’ referring to one camille chen, dr. lloyd, and … — hugh mongus? are you serious? whatever. though alondra had read the email ten times over and knew she wasn’t supposed to stray from the maze of a library, she couldn’t help it, the urge to explore all over the new environment too strong. “ that lady is rude, by the way —“ a nod to the path behind her, a cranky lillian hayes at the end of it, “ beautiful wisteria, but so rude. i found a friend coming around this way, though! want to say hi?” alondra holds the puppy out, stopping for the other person to get a word in edgewise. finally.

sav was trying to maintain an optimistic approach to being one of the appointed shepherds for her new peers. just two years prior, she too had been a completely new student, feeling like a fish out of water. so, it only seemed fair that this was some full circle moment for her to complete. the junior is in the middle of waiting for her order at cafe marta, eyebrow raised at the mention of one of santi's favorite artists. music happened to be one of savannah's biggest passions and an easy way for her to connect with her classmates. "i can't say i'm too familiar with his material, do you have any song recs?" she asked.

LOCATION : café marta with group six.

NOTES : to the shepherds, savannah ( @whimsyhearts ), kit ( @distortedblurs ) & monty ( @maggotmouth ). if you need to escort him out, please do. to the sheep, ava ( @livebedroom ), avarice ( @kismutt ), micah ( @fvlmincre ), maude ( @tra1trs ), juliet ( @lowtieds ). please shut him up. YOU DON'T NEED TO MATCH LENGTH!

who the hell thought a coffee spot would be fun? is the internally dialogue of santi as he blankly stares down at the hot contents in his hold. he offers a disingenuine gleam up toward the café's beloved owner, marta. he pivots on his heel, smile quick to fall blank as he settles amongst those of vague familiarity and palladian's own. once settled, the coffee begins to make its way toward the table's centre. “ cardigan coffee up for grabs if anyone wants it. ” his words seem convinced he'd heard marta right yet the grimace visible on his face says otherwise. he'd just push on with the knowledge that the british have weird combinations. he just didn't think a cardigan ⸺ infused coffee would be one of those combinations. were they stealing the upper class's finest cashmere and leaving it to soak overnight? he pays little mind to whoever claims the coffee, choosing to hone his focus in on his phone that sat against his thigh. the pad of his thumb resumes the blissful tune of dizzee rascal's bonkers which proceeded to blast through wired earphones. ( this could be thanks of watching kingsmen on the flight over which had been his choice at studying british culture. ) attention eventually returns focus to those surrounding, interjecting with: “ do people here still listen to dizzee rascal? his music is like ... literally made for me. ” accompanied with his phone screen, turning it to anyone who paid focus. he takes a moment, resuming his words. “ like not here here, this is boring. i mean like in england. ” and poor marta, having to hear his words because he'd been too foolish to pause said music to assess the volume in which he spoke in. he'd practically just screamed to the entire place about his love for dizzee rascal's discography.

savannah can almost smell the sarcasm that is dripping from the other's response. she almost wants to laugh, or say something equally as snarky. her time in college had given her a bit more of a back bone compared to her former high school self. she was less meek, more daring. "oh wow, you even used the magic words," she replied, pausing to take a sip from her beverage. "are you lookin' for anything specific anyways? our campus does have a good selection of books to choose from.

optimism  didn't  batch  batch  in  any  circumstance,  but  not  especially  one  that  led  be  tossed  into  a  school  that  didn't  even  have  his  specialities.  suppose  it  would  be  an  elective  filled  semester,  goodbye  labs  and  hello  whatever  waste  of  time.  he  didn't  feel  appreciative  of  what  some  would  call  an  opportunity,  but  he  was  pretty  certain  most  of  the  student  body  probably  felt  disgruntled  in  one  way  or  another.  i  feel  sleeping  arrangements  in  a  castle  –  come  the  fuck  on.  bash  disregarded  her  concern  towards  his  attitude,  it  didn't  sway  him  to  adjust  his  tone.  〝   can   you   move,  please  ?   〞he  questioned,  the  sarcasm  dripping  over  the  word  heavily  practically  gave  the  adverse  effect  of  saying  it  at  all. 

[whimsyhearts]

the air around campus had changed within the last few days, for good or for worse? well, savannah wasn't quite sure the answer to that yet. there had been lots of new faces making themselves known, causing lots of mixed emotions among her peers. the junior was stuck somewhere in the middle of all of this, the opportunity to make new friends seeming exciting but not totally under these circumstances.

taking a break from her 'welcoming committee' group, she finds herself in the library looking for a new read. iced latte in one hand, blue orbs scan the shelves as she tries to make her selection. turning to look over at her 'new friend', she raises a brow. "y'know, some people say excuse me," she spoke.

WHERE: the book stew, deviated from group 5. WHEN: march 3rd. STATUS: open @langstonstarters. 

being  a  sheep  never  quite  resonated  with  bash.  as  soon  as  he  was  given  an  order,  might  as  well  kiss  that  wish  goodbye.  he'd  do  the  opposite.  it  didn't  take  long  for  boredom  to  strike  and  to  deviate  from said  schedule  and  the group  he  was  tasked  to  herd  with.  he'd  much  rather  adventure  on  to  a  guided  self-tour  than  listen  to  strangers'  opinions  on  their  biased  perspective  of  these  structured  buildings.  it  was  definitely…  different  from  the  hustle  and  bustle  of  nyc  that  bash  shockingly  grew  just  a  slight  liking  towards.  the  graduate  left  the  seemingly  never  ending  walls  that  were  scattered  with  paintings  and  found  himself  in  a  room  that  had  endless  amount  of  novels instead.  classics,  to  originals,  to  obscure  genres.  bash  liked  art  and  paintings  and  all,  but  this…  maybe  bath  had  something  to  offer.〝  can  you  move ?  〞sebastian  questioned  bluntly  as  he  gravitated  towards  the  classics.  courtesy  never  had  been  his  strength  either,  but  that  was  a  fact  he  was  rather  apathetic  about  changing.

MINO BIO / HEADCANONS.

savannah was born as youngest of two children, growing up in a VERY small town in rural georgia. her mother, a bakery owner and her father a teacher/football coach, the mcdougall's could be considered a 'white picket fence and perfect' family.

their family grew up on a small family farm, with your typical farm animals and crops.

she grew up in a very strict and religious family. this meant going to church multiple times a week, praying before every meal, volunteering in the local community, and not falling victim to anything secular.

hard-work was an ethic that was drilled into the mcdougall children since birth. if savannah wasn't helping around the farm or the bakery, she was keeping up with her school work or extra curricular activities (such as beauty pageants, girl scouts, and cheerleading).

savannah has always struggled with feeling like the black sheep of the family, constantly feeling over shadowed by her older brother, older to her by two years. he was always more extroverted and naturally talented with sports and other extra curricular activities. savannah on the other hand? she was more on the introverted and eccentric side. not taking a liking towards football and any sports for that matter. she was much more interested in reading or sneaking on the family computer to listen to music on youtube (but always deleting her browsing history).

savannah tried her best to play the role of a well mannered, perfect daughter. going with the flow and playing the parts to make her parents 'proud of her', but in the back of her mind, she always felt like she wasn't the golden child. she struggled with always feeling slightly inadequate in comparison to her brother. if her brother was getting straight a's and scoring touchdowns, she was only getting b's and winning second or third in beauty pageants or other competitions. she couldn't quite measure up, feeling like she could never be her true self and show her true colors.

music became a coping mechanism and outlet for her when she entered into her late middle school and high school years. always trying to be a kind soul to her fellow classmates, she befriended some of the more 'loner' girls of her grade level. after hearing 'rhiannon' by fleetwood mac on her ipod, savannah commented on the song and saying she enjoyed it. after doing a deep dive and discovery of fleetwood mac's further discography, there was no turning back. she wanted to learn more, discover more music. making a secret youtube channel and joining music blogs, she started her journey of discovering more artists/bands. she felt slightly guilty doing this, feeling like she was living a double life.

as she transitioned into her high school years, that is when she began a bit of a rebellious streak. slowly but surely, sav began to grow a hidden collection of cd's/vinyl's/cassettes, band merch, skimpy clothing, cigarettes/weed that she kept deep in her closet. she also be found sneaking out a few nights a month with friends, headed to the next few towns over to underage drink and sneak into concerts. her parents had no idea what she was doing but strict parents raise sneaky kids.....

when she was sixteen, she began a secret relationship with a senior at a rival highschool of her's. savannah was drawn to the older boy, the total dirtbag rocker type who was in a crappy garage band with hopes of making it big. they bonded over their music tastes and not so favorable homelives. she was head over heels for him, not knowing anything else since this was her first serious relationship with anyone.

their relationship ended very abruptly after savannah discovered she was pregnant after losing her virginity to him. feeling terrified and not knowing what to do, savannah would end up having an abortion behind her parent's back. her bestfriend and her mother drove her to a clinic a few hours outside of town, trying their best to provide comfort towards her.

savannah struggled pretty hard with the aftermaths of it, cutting ties with her boyfriend and claiming that she had to end things due to her parents finding out about their relationship. she deals with her struggles in secret, feeling unable to confide in her family about everything. they are simply oblivious and she tries her best to finish the rest of her high school years in peace.

senior year is spent applying to college and prepping for next steps in young-adulthood. her family expects savannah to attend a nearby college in georgia, (which she does apply and gets accepted to), perhaps majoring in business or teaching, to follow suite in her parent's footsteps for careers. instead, sav decides to go on a whim and apply for a college oversees aka for palladian school of art & design. she had heard amazing things about their graphic design program and she was desperate for a new change of pace and being far away from her parents.

savannah doesn't necessarily expect to hear back from palladian but is surprised to find out that she gets accepted as one of their scholarship students.

her family has very mixed opinions about her wanting to go to a college so far away. her parents were furious at her, exploding in front of her when they get the acceptance letter in the mail. they say that it's 'foolish' and 'naive' of savannah to think she can make a career out of going to some artsy fartsy school, claiming she will not have a good future.

she basically has a terrible argument with her parents which results in her confessing about some aspects of her 'double life' aka her love for music and how she never felt like she could be open about it with her parents in fear of judgement. choosing to put her foot down and stand up for herself, she tells them that she will be going to palladian and not a school in georgia.

the rest of her senior year, savannah is rarely home, mostly coach surfing among friends due to the strained relationship with her parents. she counts down the days to graduation, skipping town just a few days after without saying much of a goodbye to her family. she was more than ready for a new beginning.

OTHER FUN FACTS.

her overall career goal is to work within the music industry doing graphic design work for bands/artists and record labels. she also is minoring in food creation, wanting to continue her love and craft for cooking.

she began an online music blog since starting college!!! her blog mostly is for album/song reviews & recommendations & she also posts interviews from bands/artists that are local to the surrounding community

she has not spoken to her parents much since beginning college, she has considered calling or writing a letter to them, but feels like for her own mental health, it's for the best she still keeps the distance. she occasionally keeps in touch with her older brother, giving him random life updates every few months through texts.

despite the hardships she has gone through, she still tries to have a soft heart with others.

she loves her morning cigarettes / the devil's lettuce ;)

is a cat person 1000000%

fleetwood mac is her all time favorite band

can be considered an introverted extrovert. is 100000% a talkative person when she is high/drunk. If she is comfortable enough in your presence, she can open up.

her love language is physical touch and food. she loves cuddling with her friends and hugs! (even just in a platonic way). she also loves being that friend to make your favorite meal or snack if you had a bad day.

she is a mom friend who can always be seen sporting her beloved yellow bookbag. It’s one she has had for years, covered in her favorite pins, buttons, and decorated in song lyrics and notes from her friends. It is usually filled to the brim with a mix of random and useful items. her friends often tease her saying that she can live out of that damn bag of her’s. 

is very competitive with claw machine games.

she is definitely the kind of friend to not ask for gas money and will wait for you while you tie your shoes.

she has a decent online following on instagram/tiktok. she makes mostly lifestyle and cooking content. she has had a few of her tiktok videos gone viral from her vlogs at the restaurant and her grwm's with her outfits, people feeling drawn to her eccentric style of dressing.

the key to her heart is sour candy and sunflowers.

mixed drink of choice of a vodka redbull.

LOVES thrifting, most of her clothes are thrifted <3.

is a bit of a hopeless romantic but is such a sucker for rom com's!!!!
