HSHQTASK059

when did you join ? what made you join ? what do you remember from the plotlines that were current at the time ? where were you in life when you joined and where are you now ?

oof, i was a sophomore in high school, i think the age rule wasnt there or i lied ... so that was ... 2016? i just saw the promo and went for it. i had been hopping in and out of rps bc i liked writing but never found anything i really liked until HSHQ. i honestly don't remember the plot line when i first joined bc i ghosted after a few weeks and then joined back with natalia.

in 2016 tho, i distinctly remember writing replies in my religion class bc i was so bored. we had our macbooks in class so i would just sit in the corner and write while my teacher taught us sacraments for the 200th time. i was just a 16 year old with no other worries other than pre-calculus and latin.

where i am now? happy to say i'm thriving in grad school. got into optometry school this past year which was a big contribution to my inactiveness, but life is good. i had to move states, and had a lot of adjustments but thats life, ya know. i love what i'm studying, and i'm having a lot of fun.

which characters have you written over the years ?

(amara... bella hadid fc was my first), natalia, leo, reggie, lily/xiuying, freja, gahye (auguste as a bonus bc i really liked writing him)

what is your favourite plotline that you've been part of ?

the english siblings. i never get tired of the "fighting for power" trope. the stupid interactions. the murder mystery. i think the basis of the plot really allowed me to develop natalia as a character, and i would have never done it without the wc. nicole/art sr./nat was the family of my dreams so c and e u made my writing dreams come true.

freja/arnauld/lucien was also so fun. it was very different, and i think exploring that was cool. writing an "evil" chara makes you rationalize crazy things when writing them and it was fun. and i remember staying up all night to write with laura and it was 100% worth it.

what about other people's plotlines ?

theres too many. i can't even begin to remember. i was and still am heavily invested in ilstrid.

who is your favourite character from the ones you've played ? why ? what made you love them ? what made them so fun to write ?

i think everyone could tell it was natalia. again i think it was the fact that i joined with a wc with an open background inspired me to develop a good story behind her. it was took years of development and backstory and i really felt like she was a character i tried to give depth to despite how kind of stereotypical the character was. after i had finally decided on the finality of her backstory she became so fun to write, and her psyche was fun to delve into. i also found it so fun to put her through so much shit. bc of her longevity here she became something great

if you could relive a plotline, which would it be ?

the nat/lea/kseynia duo fucking it up at every event. idk why that was so fun. oh and leobela's shotgun wedding. it was perfect. so them.

is there a plotline that you'd edit now if you could ?

eh, i would have loved to actually go through with more things on reggie. i'll admit most times i was just pure lazy.

what's a plotline you wish you would have been able to finish before closing or just write more of ?

again, reggie. and i wish i could finish off leobela.

what is your favourite ooc memory ?

judging met gala looks the past few years together. bullying each other all the time. sharing our random customs.

where can others find you if they want to get in touch ?

my discord account will still be active! i have to use it for school lol so reach out if ya ever need me. i won't be on tumblr anymore honestly.

what else would you like to say ?

i know i was absent for the past year, but honestly this rp was always here when i needed it the past few years. pandemic, when school got tough, whatever it was i always knew i could log on and get my creative juices flowing, have a few laughs with y'all, and just have some good ole fun. i'm so thankful for the community everyone provided and contributed to throughout the years, and our great great great admins e, j, and evy for continuing to keep us running and being the best best best admins ever.

you guys are the best writers out there, i'll never have a group of people like this again and that makes me sad. but life moves on and i'm just so happy this was a part of my life. thank u thank u thank, i love you all

#hshqtask059 #Hiiiiiiiiiiiii #Or... Bye :(

[nataliademarquis]

lol i'm gonna be 100% honest and say i prob wont have time to write goodbye starters <3 perhaps i'll be able to get the 2029 life update together for my charas buttttt listen my life has changed ok

but this is my chummy little message:

honestly i've quite literally grown up in my time being in HSHQ, i've quite literally been apart of it on and off since i was 16 which is so crazy to me. i'm 22 now and i can't thank you guys enough for giving me an outlet to write and be creative. u guys are the creme de la creme of writing and have honestly contributed to my skills. i'm not sure what else to say, but if you ever want to keep up with me OOC just dm me and i'll hook u up with my ig. i know i've been absent the past year, life's been crazy but i really will miss having this here and . i've made so many friends here <3 truly will always hold a special place in my heart

#okie. if i'm alive when u guys do farewell ill participate

she fancied herself a generally positive person – that is until hearing the genuine tonal curiosity in the slovakian. have the years changed her ? memories of mainly dread bubbled to the surface before anything, but she sighed and spoke anyways: " the most FUN was brazil – that is until, well – i left and ... " her voice trailed for a while before she waved it off. " in the moment, quite fun. it wasn't quite as STUFFY as all the balls and coronations, i suppose. "

" i didn't realize the program organized ski trips too... i'm starting to get why my brothers are happy to be representing us. " the beer in his glass somehow tasted better than ever before. the chocolates he had had earlier in the day had also tasted better than any other chocolate. things were just better in switzerland. blažej felt almost too content in the booth of the bar. " what's been the best trip so far and why ? " ( &. @hshqstarters )

she knew she had been making a choice wearing white to a red wine tasting. there had been assumption on her part that her company would not be awfully rowdy. “ that’s OKAY. “ she squeaked, looking down and watching the red seep and bleed through. “ is it very BAD ? “

“ here, try this, ” he tosses before he looks, awareness diminished by wine, and the grape launches towards someone who is certainly not helena. “ shit — sorry. i thought you were someone else. ”

“ ever since antonia got her hands on this place, something about this place doesn’t FEEL the same. “ she tutted upon entrance, despite the fact that the furnishings had remained exactly the same her whole lifetime. a wandering hand brushed on the table middle table, and her face twisted in disgust as dust made a film on her fingertips. “ don’t tell me she fired the cleaners ? “

｡  Her voice draws his attention from the rustling palms peaking through the splinted roof overhead. “ s’been awhile… you and I had said–” Natalia’s withdrawal revived his memory even though trauma often made him forget such. “We made a promise to never mention it if we made it out alive, yes?” They satisfied that clause. “Unless my recollection is failing me, why do you ask?”

“ five years. i think that’s long enough to hold a promise. “ a slight upturn at the corner of her lips is made before she sinks back to the wall and shrugs, “ NOSTALGIA. ” seemingly not reserved for positive experiences, apparently. there is a quiet beat of hesitation before she speaks again. “ and i can’t help but think we DON’T make it this time. ” an uncharacteristically pessimistic statement. “ i’ve been too lucky. ”

she had been doing fairly well as a hostage. but as those around her moved around, the feeling of unsettlement began to thicken in her chest and the hours stretched in silence. how had it become that giovanni was the most familiar face in the room ? pulling her knees to her chest, she cleared her throat, “ you don’t HAPPEN to remember the last time we were in this situation, do you ? ” locked in a room on a mediterranean island – that is.

freddie had always been quiet, even as he played with his favourite toy truck ( small mercies, she supposed — a tiny toy fire truck wouldn’t pose as a threat against real guns ) by her feet, catherine only dreaded the moment when her fussy daughter will undoubtedly show their kidnappers what a real menace she is. “well…” elsie was sound asleep against her chest, snuggly swaddled in soft wrap carrier that max absolutely insisted they brought with them. “if you don’t mind… if you can help me take off my jacket? i’m too terrified that i’ll wake her up if i move too much.” 

if she was being completely honest, she had half expected self-reliant catherine to reject the offer. “ oh, yeah, of course. ” almost clumsily, she got on her feet and hovered over the three, hands gingerly reaching forward, as if to think of the best route of completing the task. after a slow lift of the arms and pulling the fabric inch by inch, she folded the jacket, though upon realizing there was no other spot than the floor, she settled it on her lap and sank back on the wall. “ what are you telling freddie ? think he’s too SMART to believe we’re all just in timeout for a little ? “

with little else in the barren room to look at, she had found her gaze lingering on catherine often – the tiredness of motherhood had it’s beauty but also had it’s pitfalls. she cleared her throat, and looked from the baby up to her. “ do you, erm, need a HAND ? ”

“We should all think very carefully about what we do next,” she muttered softly. Hafiz cradled her daughter closer to her chest, a hand passing through Nuray’s hair. “They have a plan but it can’t involve hurting children, can it?” 

“ there’s NOTHING to do. ” voiced plain and simple. she had seen them all play out – it only resulted in more pain. “ acting out makes things worse – i – i know. ” rarely did she have authority on anything, but she could say that with certainty. she had seen all ‘heros’ get shot and beaten. “ we just sit until ... “ help comes. it always does. at least she will tell that to herself.

he needed to go inside. there were so many people, waiting, and the only woman he wished would be on the pews could not attend. instead, he filled every empty space with his smoke. in response to his sister’s voice, he raised his cigarette, just slightly, and took another drag of it. “there’s a lot of people in there. all of them are expecting me to fuck this up.”

“ that you made SURE of. ” it was the wedding of the century for the country on the gulf. she took a step forward, weighing what to say next. pre-wedding jitters were one thing, what stood before her seemed wholly new. “ but is it the people you’re worried about ? or something else ? “
