#Major Inez

[ivebeenthearcher]

There's a book by photographer Bill Hayward called Cat People from the ‘70s, with journalistic photos of cat lovers and their cats, but it's all entertainers, writers, journalists—some very famous, some not so famous. And the pictures are brilliant. It shows very well the relationship that people have with their cats. But at the same time, [shows] the way cats are kind of on their own—they're a special breed of animal. So I got a vintage copy of it for Taylor because I know she's a major cat lover, and her cats travel with her. And I said, “You know, I've always wanted to do a picture like the one that's on the cover of that book where the cat's on the shoulder of the girl.” It speaks to a sense of carrying everything on your shoulders but being defiant while doing so. And she agreed and that's how that picture happened.

INEZ’S BIRTH

MASTERLIST | PATREON

“How’s Y/N doing?

Harry glances at Mitch as a smile begins to grow on his face. Y/N was due any day now and it had Harry on the tip of his toes. He was very eager and excited to meet his daughter.

During the majority of the pregnancy Harry was in contact with Alessandro and Lambert about custom baby clothes he had to have for his daughter, even after Y/N regularly scolded him for all the designer clothes he gets Beau.

Whenever he would shop somewhere, he always came back with something for Beau and his daughter who still wasn’t born yet.

“She’s doing well, still tired of being pregnant.” Harry laughs looking over at Y/N and Sarah playing with their sons.

All month Y/N had quickly grown exhausted. Towards the end of the pregnancy was the worst for her. Her back would hurt, her feet would be swollen most of the time and her maternity clothes were barely fitting. All she really could wear was Harry’s button down tops and his sweats.

She felt discouraged. All the pregnant women she saw on social media looked perfect, very much different from her. But after being reassured by Harry many times, she somehow got comfortable wearing his sweats and tops.

Harry made her feel relaxed during the whole pregnancy. It was like he had some sort of powers that took her discomfort away. His words soothed her to sleep, his hands made her tense shoulders slump and especially he comforted her.

Whatever Harry said and did made Y/N feel secure and at ease.

“How’s it going, boys?” Y/N teases as she walks into the kitchen Mitch and Harry were hanging out in followed by Beau.

All Harry could think about was how Y/N looked so stunning. Her pregnant belly was poking out from the shirt she stole from his side of the closet, her hair was pinned up by a clip he was for sure going to steal later and her skin was glowing beautifully.

She looked like a dream.

“Surprisingly good, we wrote a lot today.” Mitch tells Y/N as she reaches for a bowl of strawberries on the counter. Soon after Mitch speaks Sarah walks through the doorway holding her son.

At this moment Harry felt so content. Everything he had wished for was finally coming true.

“Let me guess more songs about me?” Y/N smiles as Harry wraps his arm around her waist pulling her to his chest. Still munching on a strawberry she looks up at him with a grin.

“More like another album about you.”

-

After Sarah and Mitch left with their son, Y/N and Beau darted to her’s and Harry’s bedroom immediately falling asleep. It wasn’t a surprise to Harry. Y/N gets tired a lot because of the pregnancy and Beau just had to take a nap whenever his mother took a nap.

He already knew if Beau took a nap past five, he would be up all night. But he insisted on taking a nap with Y/N.

While Y/N and Beau were sleeping upstairs, Harry began to make dinner. His obsession at the moment was pasta. After Y/N had made it one night, he just had to have it again and again.

As the noodles boil Harry grabs his notebook and writes down a few lyrics that come to mind. He was reminiscing about his and Y/N’s first ever trip to Italy. He remembers walking around the city with her just like it was yesterday.

“Harry!”

“What?” Harry shrugs his shoulders as he pops open the red wine bottle. Y/N had told him to go get something old and red which made him come out of the shop with her favorite 1982 wine. “To our first trip to Italy!”

Walking the streets of Amalfi while drinking out of a bottle of wine and sharing embarrassing moments with each other sounded like a dream in Y/N’s opinion. She had never thought she could be as happy as she is now.

Harry had expressed a lot about himself which he claims he never does. He had a side to him he closed off to people, but he showed Y/N that side. He felt comfortable enough with her to say things that popped into his mind, never feeling discouraged like his previous relationships.

Y/N was just that someone Harry could tell everything to. She made him feel safe, she was the one that made him feel comfortable.

“Don’t look back but I think a group of girls are following us.” Y/N whispers, leaning into Harry as she clutches the wine bottle to her chest. Almost immediately Harry looks back which makes her close her eyes and shake her head.

“A few of them are wearing my merch.” Harry giggles, wrapping his arm tightly around Y/N’s waist.

The amount of wine the two consumed wasn’t enough to make them drunk but just a little tipsy. So when Harry tells Y/N to run it feels like she’s dreaming, until his arm around her waist pulls her with him.

The footsteps behind the two just encouraged them to run and run. When they very first started dating, Harry had warned her about how intrusive his fans could be but Y/N didn’t know how bad it could be until this very moment. She of course knew who Harry was, especially since all her social media comments were full of his fans.

In all his previous relationships he had never spoken out against fans over protecting his relationship, until he started dating Y/N.

Harry truly loved and adored his relationship with Y/N. So when she got a bunch of hate from his fans, he spoke out on twitter and wrote a long paragraph telling fans not to speak on his relationship. Just him defending his girlfriend made fans mad and angry but he really didn’t care about them. His real fans would support him, including his girlfriend.

“Welcome back Mr. Styles and Ms. L/N.”

Out of breath both Harry and Y/N send the doorman a smile before rushing into the elevator. The worker seemed confused with the two until he heard a few shouts of a name.

Harry!

Harry!

Harry!

With a roll of his eyes the doorman swiftly shuts the door and lowers down the curtains not wanting to see or even hear the fans.

In the middle of writing a few sample lyrics for his song Grapejuice a loud curse comes from upstairs which makes Harry bolt to the bedroom. When he walks into the room he finds Beau wrapped up in the blankets still asleep but no Y/N.

He began to grow scared. Just last month they had one of their ‘stalkers’ break in and hurt one of their security guards. It was a frightening moment to remember for the both of them.

After calling Y/N’s name over and over, Harry finally gets a hourse response from her.

“I’m in the bathroom, my water broke!”

-

“Harry can you stop freaking out please—“

“My mom isn’t answering so Gemma is coming instead. Uh, the hospital bag is already in the car. I texted Jeff but he didn’t respond which means he’s probably sleeping—“

“Harry! Take a deep breath for me please.” Y/N calmly says as she grabs Harry’s shoulders and guides him to sit down on their bed. She could tell he was nervous, more nervous than her and she was the one that was going to push the baby out.

“S-sorry, I’m just anxious. I thought I would be prepared for this day but I don’t think I am.” Harry tells Y/N which makes her heart swell.

He was such an amazing father and did a wonderful job parenting Beau. So she just knew he was going to be the best father to their daughter.

“You’re more prepared than I am and that’s saying a lot.” Y/N smiles reassuringly making Harry let out a breathy laugh. Without him she was pretty sure she would lose her mind. “Now can you help me change out of these?” She looks down at her wet sweats.

After Harry helps Y/N change out of the baggy pants he replaces her underwear with a pair of his boxers (so she can be more comfortable) and a pair of her maternity crochet shorts. She also slid on one of his shirts that were surprisingly still large on her. The contractions thankfully hadn’t hit her as bad yet but still she felt small cramping in her lower abdomen.

While they were waiting for Gemma to arrive, Harry went to double check on the nursery and Y/N stayed sitting on the bed with a sleeping Beau on her lap. He hadn’t woken up at all which wasn’t surprising, he was the deepest sleeper Y/N has ever seen before.

It did worry Y/N at first that Beau was going to wake up confused, but as soon as he finds out what was happening she knew he was going to be excited and thrilled to meet his little sister.

Even at her gender reveal party she remembers Beau jumping up and down when he found out his mother was having a girl. He and Harry had the exact same reaction which made her cry tears of joy.

“The cake is pink!” Beau shouts.

Immediately Harry grabs Y/N’s waist and hugs her tightly, digging his face into her neck. He began to mumble loving things to her as everyone around them continued to cheer.

“We’re having a girl!”

The bedroom door opening makes Y/N look up to see Harry already dressed. He was wearing a pair of sweats and one of her sweaters that she would probably wear if she weren’t pregnant. Besides his outfit change he seemed to be at ease. Once Y/N reassured Harry, he definitely felt more calm.

The amount of stress the two had during the pregnancy caused a lot of worry and pressures. Every month (or more like every day) it was a different hassle.

Nonetheless Y/N and Harry both pulled through every time. They knew the struggles with having another child especially when Harry was dropping an album soon.

Nobody knew Y/N was pregnant, only family and close friends. Hiding the pregnancy from the public wasn’t as difficult to manage. Y/N mostly stayed at their Holmes Chapel house with Beau and Harry who decided to work on his album from home.

They rarely got photographed in London because of Harry’s appeal against paparazzi. But sometimes that didn’t stop fans from following the couple and taking blurry photos of them walking.

“Gemma just pulled up. Are you ready?” Harry asks Y/N as she stares down at a sleeping Beau. This was the last time the house was going to have one child running around in it, the next time they come back there would be two kids running around.

Y/N sends Harry a nod before she leans down and kisses her sleeping son’s cheek. With the help of Harry, she softly slides out of the bed without waking up Beau.

“My contractions are starting to hit me more now.” Y/N tells Harry which makes him wrap an arm around her waist, helping her stand. Every second or so she lets a hiss out in pain.

“Let’s get you to the car.”

Once Gemma was with Beau, Y/N and Harry bid her goodbye which makes her wish them luck. Out of all their family and friends, Gemma was for sure the most excited. She had known her brother always wanted children and seeing that happen makes her so happy.

Harry truly deserved every single bit of happiness.

-

“More ice?”

Y/N nods, making Harry plop another ice cube in her mouth that she can chew on. He could tell she was beginning to get nervous by the way she was fiddling with his fingers. They had read online about the second birth being more smoother than the first and that’s all she was hoping for.

Harry next to her soothed her quite a bit. His reassuring words and actions made her feel secure and comfortable even though her lower abdomen was tightening every so often.

“Do we know what we’re going to name her yet?” Harry softly asks Y/N as he runs his free hand through her hair.

“I really liked Clementine but it reminds me of the fruit too much.” She sighs which makes Harry let out a small laugh. Picking a name was sort of difficult or the both of them because they constantly changed their mind over and over.

Though, they did keep coming back to one name in particular. Inez. Harry and Y/N had adored that name since day one. It reminded them of their first date. A little girl by the name Inez had run up to them after she had lost her older sister.

The memory brought a smile to Harry’s face.

“What’s your name?” Y/N immediately asks, bending down in front of the little girl who had tears streaming down her cheeks.

“Inez.” She responds swiftly, wiping her teary eyes roughly. Almost instantly Y/N blindly reaches into her tote bag laid on the blanket and pulls out a small packet of tissues.

“You have sand on your hands, wipe your eyes with this.” Y/N tells the girl which makes her nod and grab the tissue from her. The action made Harry soft. It was only his first date with her and she was already making him more enamored than he already was.

After Y/N (with the help of Harry) calm the child down, they begin to go look around the beach for her sister who was supposed to be watching her. It took them about half an hour full of conversations to find the teenage girl playing volleyball with her friends and a group of boys.

What was really ironic to the teenage girl was her little sister standing next to her one and only celebrity crush, Harry Styles. She had his posters on her wall, his merch was in her closet and she even had the One Direction perfume.

“I-I’ll be right back.” Leah stutters out to her friends before rushing over to the musician standing next to her sister and a girl she didn’t recognize.

Inez squints her eyes at her sister as she folds her arms over her chest. Truly the seven year old was annoyed at Leah. She left her to go talk to boys with her friends even after their mother had reminded her to watch her.

Leah knew she was in trouble but Harry Styles standing right in front of her made her not care about the issues that were to come.

“Are you Leah?”

Harry speaking up makes Leah widen her eyes and swiftly nod her head. Never in her seventeen years of life would she expect to be stood in front of him.

“Yes, that’s me.” Leah smiles brightly making Inez roll her eyes. The teenager was acting very weird and it bugged the seven year old. Out of all the times she’s hung out with Leah, she hadn’t seen her this giddy.

“Your sister was looking for you.” Harry nods to Inez who still looked mad at her sister.

“Oh! I was looking for her too.” Leah laughs nervously grabbing onto Inez’s hand. Both Harry and Y/N saw through her lie, she wasn’t trying to look for her. Luckily enough they found whoever left her unattended.

“Sure, just please make sure to be watching her at all times. Especially when you’re at the beach.” Harry nods, making Leah instantly agree.

“Bye Inez, we enjoyed hanging out with you!”

“Remember the conversation we had with the little girl on our first date?” Harry asks Y/N as he plops another ice cube in her mouth.

“Of course.” Y/N hums chewing on her ice. How can she forget the child that asked them if they were married. “Inez right?”

“Yes, Inez!” Harry grins. The memory of the child stuck with them forever. Before Beau and their daughter, Harry would stay up late and talk to Y/N about growing a family. It was one of the things he’s always wished for since he could remember.

Specifically a family with Y/N sounded so exciting to Harry. He had dreamed about that concept for years and finally it was coming true. Beau was the best son he could’ve ever asked for and he couldn’t wait to meet his daughter.

Everything about that just made Harry happy.

To some people walking up to their children was a dreading experience but not to Harry or Y/N. They loved it. The sounds of little feet tapping the floor made Harry go soft. Children in general made him mushy, particularly his.

“I was thinking about the name Inez?”

Almost immediately a grin grows on Y/N’s face. She felt comfort in that name. It reminded them of her and Harry’s first ever date. The memory always brought happiness to her.

“Harry, you know I love that name.” Y/N beams making Harry smile.

“Is that the name we’re choosing then?” Harry chuckles, running his hand against her bump.

“I would like that.”

-

“You’re finally 10 centimeters dilated, are you ready to push?”

Y/N sighs as she leans her head back onto the pillow. She was thankful the epidural she received was already working. She could feel the pain wearing off by the second. Almost instantly Harry grabs her hand and swiftly kisses her cheek.

The first push didn’t hurt Y/N at all, her stomach to her legs were slightly numb which made her relieved. The second push made her squeeze Harry’s hand to soothe her.

All she had been wanting to do was meet her daughter and finally it was happening.

The third push was almost difficult for Y/N. In the middle of pushing she almost gave up but Harry’s encouraging words motivated her to continue pushing. She felt so thankful to have him by her side.

The fourth and final push was when Y/N and Harry heard a familiar cry. That cry made a smile crawl onto their faces. Right away the newborn was placed on her chest which made her and Harry burst into tears.

Their daughter was finally born. They’ve been waiting for this moment to happen for months.

“Hi darling.” Harry coos as his daughter’s cries soften. He lets out a breathy laugh while Y/N stares lovingly at the two.

This was Harry’s first ever interaction with Inez.

“Welcome to the world Nez.” Y/N whispers, kissing the newborn’s head.

[deathsweetblossoms]

What The River Knows has me reeling over that ending. Like what???

MAJOR SPOILERS UNDER CUT

First of all, the death shocked me. I did not expect that to happen. I thought everyone was making it out alive and I was in pure shock for about ten minutes, full not processing what I was reading.

I think Whit is pulling a fast one on his family, I think. Per his strange final POV. He’s been cut off by his mother, I’m assuming? Who else would the She be who has finally cut him off completely? So he sends the telegram to Porter and says “his plan is in motion, it just has to work”. Then he proposes.

But this brings up all sorts of questions - he’s spent the entire book telling Inez not to trust him and that he only trusts his brother and sister. Leading me to think there’s some nefariousness with his parents.. perhaps his mother is a bit devious? He’s intentionally very mysterious.

Also, if he marries Inez, and I hope they go through with it, he’s obviously going to ruin the betrothal to the secret, unrevealed fiancé.

I am just all sorts of WTF about this but mainly excited for book 2.

Here’s some things were left with:

Porter is coming to see Whit, as planned by Whit? He intended for his brother to sail out with that telegram?

Whit is interested in alchemy, like Inez’s mother. They are both looking for the same pamphlet/scroll but neither was able to find it

The mention of Nefertiti’s tomb makes me wonder if she will be the next tomb we’re looking for in book 2

The mom is alive and missing, but the lover she had the affair with is dead

There’s another big boss we don’t know about

That annoying dude still has Cleopatra’s ring

Papa is still alive, I’m assuming. And now Inez has to find him

Wondering if there will be some second book romance shenanigans because of a betrayal ? I hope not. I want to see them grow their love, not create even more distance.

Costume Updates: 2023 West End Cast Change

A few notes before I start: - Kayleigh McKnight (Seymour) is currently injured. Gabriella Stylianou (alt A/S) is temporarily performing in her place, including in the preview footage. - As a general rule of thumb, Six has slowly been standardizing the costumes for both US and UK. Most of that has been changes to the UK system/style to make them more in line with the US changes initially made for Broadway (a few changes have made their way to the US from the UK though). There's been a steady rollout of updates over the period post-lockdowns, but with this cast change most of the major holdouts have been changed at once. I'll get to that in a moment. - Obviously it's very early in the run and we haven't seen all the costumes yet, particularly for alts. I'll continue to update as we do.

Costumes (credits below) - Nikki Bentley's Aragon costume has had a few construction changes to be more in line with the US costumes. No major design differences, though. Not sure on maker yet. - Thảo Therése Nguyễn has the darker green which has been standardized for the last few UK casts. Not sure on maker yet. - Gabriella was previously with Norwegian Cruise Lines as part of Bliss 2.0, but as expected she did get a new costume. Her corset is in the US style/design rather than the UK style (info here, here). I'm not sure who made it and very much wondering if the corset only could be a US-make, but don't have enough information yet to know if that could be the case. I'm also waiting to see what Kayleigh's looks like. - Reca Oakley (Cleves) is another former NCL queen, but as expected she also did get a new costume. It was made by Paul Aspinall. - Inez Budd's Howard skirt has been changed to the US-style construction. This has smaller panels (rather than the old NCL/UK style; post here). However, unlike the US skirts, the vertical stud lines still go all the way to the bottom hem. Per usual, it was made by Ella Dancewear. - Janiq Charles is a standard Parr style, made by Ashleigh Cherry Costumes per usual. - Otherwise, the costumes seem to be in line with all recent UK standardization. - The alts' costumes should match the changes made for these principals.

Wigs/HMU - Nikki Bentley has an auburn tone with a side part and doesn't seem to have bleached/ombre highlights. Curled bob, a little longer than some we've seen in the past. It's a full wig. - Thảo has dark roots with a silvery-toned bleached wig. It's a long wig rather than some of the recent bobs. It's a full wig. - Gabriella has a side part and darker, honey blonde tone. It's pretty mid-range for Seymour wigs but is shorter than some of the recent UK. It's a full wig. - Janiq Charles has the curls pulled over to the side. It's a full wig. - Otherwise, the principal wigs are pretty standard. - No pictures of Naomi Alade in costume yet, but I am expecting her to have braids for all or most of her roles. - We've also seen quite a bit of the makeup so far, which I'll make a post about in the coming days.

Boots @lightleckrereins already made posts about a lot of this (here, here) but for easy access: - The cast seems to be standardized to a shorter heel than prior casts, like the shorter heel Chlöe Hart and Natalie Pilkington both got later in the 22-23 UK Tour run. - They've introduced the double height boots that the US productions have had for a few years now (explanation of the difference here). However, they're still sticking to the regular UK-style boot body with crystals rather than switching to the US-style lattice and studs. Right now it looks like Nikki Bentley (Aragon) and Janiq Charles (Parr) have the double height, while Reca Oakley (Cleves) has the regular Cleves thigh highs and everyone else seems to have regular single height. Of course, that post includes Gabriella Stylianou rather than Kayleigh McKnight so no good look at Kayleigh or other alts yet. - All the boots seem to have interchangeable straps. We first saw these with the US and then UK alts - it allows them to have one pair of boots with a monochrome silver heel and then just trade out their straps depending on which costume they're wearing. This is the first time we've seen that for principals; Sofia talked more about why this change might be happening in the post I linked at the start of this section.

Alt costumes - We've seen a silver alt costume in progress that should be for Meg Dixon-Brasil. (Made by Paul Aspinall per usual) - We've also seen part of a pink alt costume. It could feasibly be either Natalie Pilkington's or it could be one for Hannah Lowther. Judging from Hannah's makeup, she does seem to have their standard makeup pieces for pink alt. - Naomi Alade has orange palette and glitter, so she presumably has the orange alt costume. - We still don't know what costume Natalie Pilkington will have. She has her old principal Seymour/Parr and pink alt system from the 2022-23 UK Tour, and during the 2021-22 UK Tour she had a black alt costume that was a mishmash of old and new pieces. I'm expecting that she'll wear a black alt costume (either entirely or mostly new), but it's possible that she reuses her old pink alt instead (it has been a while since she's worn black alt and most of it was already old). I talked in more depth about some of those possibilities here.

Deal With The Devil, Chapter 1

Word Count:  2.1k

Warnings:  Slight itsy bitsy angst…but nothing major.

Maybe it was because Steve had told him that he didn’t need him for a few hours, and he was rushing.  Or maybe it was because he really just wanted to get the copy of the book and head to the laundromat to read it in peace, instead of his best friend antagonizing him over re-reading his favorite book so much that he had to buy the new copy.  But Bucky hadn’t noticed her until it was too late.  Until her fingers grazed the spine of the copy of The Hobbit, just as he was reaching for it. 

She jumped, obviously surprised at the large, calloused hands nearly enveloping her own dainty ones.  Her large doe eyes seemed shocked at the level of intimacy and closeness she was sharing with the stranger. 

“I-I’m sorry…I didn’t realize,” she stuttered, trying to step back from the shelf.  Bucky felt the electricity as it ran up and down his arm, jolting through his body.  His lips parted, throat suddenly feeling dry as he gasped at the innocent looking woman in front of him.  She was quick to shake her head, the loose curls bouncing along her shoulders and down her back, “I-I’m sorry.”

He just stared at her. 

He didn’t know how to react as his own hand retracted. 

“Y-you were reaching for The Hobbit, right?” she asked curiously.

Bucky felt like a dummy. 

His mind and his lips weren’t working together, but he managed to nod his head.  She grabbed the book, offering it up to him, “I-I really am sorry.  Please.  Take it.  I-I have a copy, but its spine is so worn I just-it’s silly…I-here!”

Bucky felt his cheeks warm up as the woman giggled out her apology.  It was obvious that she was just as enamored with him as he was with her, but his normal charming, flirty attitude was absent.  He felt like a love-struck teen as he looked at her. 

He shook his head, reaching into his leather jacket, and pulled out his copy of the book; its spine worn so much that the binding was splitting, “i-me too…”

He watched as her cheeks warmed as well, and he couldn’t stop the stupid smile that worked its way onto his face. 

She bit her lip and her arms dropped ever so slightly as another giggle escaped her lips, “oh…well…uhm-you have very good taste in books then…”

“Yeah…y-you too.”

Did he just stutter?

His mind seemed like it ran into overtime as he processed the fact that he stuttered out a response to a woman.

James Buchanan Barnes never stuttered.  And definitely not in front of a woman. 

Bucky was a very self-assured, respected man in the city.  At least, in his circles.  Some would even say that he was feared.  But yet, there he was, stuttering to a doe eyed woman like he was some chump that never saw one let alone spoke to a woman. 

“I-I’m Inez.”

“Inez…” Bucky pondered, letting the name roll around on his lips, “y-you have a beautiful name.”

Her blush deepened and she tucked some of her hair behind her ear, “please…I insist you take the book…”

“Bucky…” he finished.

“Bucky…th-that’s a curious name…” she smiled gently, “wh-what does it mean?”

He chuckled, “my first name is James…Bucky is a nickname…”

“James…I like that…”

“Thank you.  But no, you take the book.  I insist. We’ve both got copies…I-I’d rather you have a new one.  My friend will laugh at me if he sees me with a new copy…”

“But yours…yours is in worse shape than mine is,” she tried again, holding the book back up to him, “I-I would feel bad if I walked away with it.”

“Okay…” he agreed softly.  He took the book from her hands, their fingertips touching yet again.  Bucky noted how she gasped at the interaction, and he found himself wanting to keep it going.  His eyes found the café tucked away in the corner of the shop, “let me buy you coffee?  If you’re letting me have the book, it’s the least I can do…”

Her eyes trailed to the café, and for a minute, Bucky wondered if she could read his thoughts, as her eyes seemed to light up, but she turned to him and nodded, “make it a cup of tea?”

“Of course…”

She nodded then, and Bucky took the book from her, “did you want me to meet you over there after I pay for the book?”

“I-I have to pay for a few myself,” she admitted, looking to the small stack of books that she’d had in the basket she was carrying.  Bucky blushed, “we could-walk up together, if you want?”

How had he not noticed the books?

Noticing things was one of the most important factors of his job.

“Sure…”

“Okay,” she grinned.  She looped her arm through his and turned towards the checkouts, before stopping herself quickly, “y-you didn’t have other shopping to do?  Did you?”

He chuckled, shaking his head at the innocent woman he’d just met, “no…just this…”

“Okay…well then, James…as Tolkien says, ‘the biggest adventure is what lies ahead!’ “she giggled, gesturing forward.  Bucky couldn’t stop his grin from getting wider as she led him forward.

“Y-you didn’t have to get it in a to go cup, James…” she giggled as she stirred her tea. 

“Unfortunately, in my line of work, I never know when my boss will call…” he frowned, thinking of how he’d already managed to spend an hour and a half talking to her in the café, “I’m surprised I got away this long.”

“You don’t have a regular job?”

“Security,” he said with a shrug, “my best friend, actually.  He’s got a pretty lucrative business…string of night clubs along the east coast…a string of different businesses actually…they’re all pretty successful.”

“Successful enough that he needs a security guard?”

“Yeah…” he muttered. Bucky frowned and his fingers fiddled with the paper sleeve for the to go cup. 

“I-I’m sorry if I insulted you…”

Bucky’s eyes shot to hers, “Wh-what?”

“You got quiet…” she murmured gently, reaching forward so that she could take his hands in her own.  Bucky’s eyes followed her movements, watching only how she held onto him, “if I insulted you in any way, I’m so-“

“No…no…” Bucky replied quickly, shaking his head enough that some of the hair fell out of his loose bun, “I just-I don’t like to talk about work…sometimes I feel like I have no life outside of it.  Steve is like my little brother…and I just-I’m always there.  I’m almost always with him…watching out for him.”

“Well, it must be good getting to work with someone you’re so close with…”

“Again, the whole…no life thing…” he muttered with another frown, “I don’t go out.  Don’t meet people.  I jus-“

“You met me!”

Bucky gazed back up to her eyes once more and he felt himself all but melting with the sweet woman in front of him, “how are you real?”

She blushed at the blunt question, “What?”

“You’re just…people aren’t like you, Inez…”

“Well, I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone quite like you either, James…”

His heart thudded in his chest, “you’re just saying that.  Guys like me are a dime a dozen, Inez.  I-“

“Hey, don’t say that,” she rushed, cutting him off.  Bucky’s heart thudded in his chest even more as she gently squeezed his hands, “you’re one of a kind.”

“Doubt it…”

“You’re the only other person I’ve ever met who’s read The Hobbit so many times you could literally quote it.”

“We-we did spend the first half hour doing that…” he admitted bashfully, a chuckle escaping his lips, “I just-“

But Bucky was cut off when his phone started buzzing in his pocket.  He frowned and Inez mirrored his expression, “Is everything okay?”

“Speak of the devil,” he chuckled shortly as he pulled out his phone to show her that a picture of Steve and him were on the screen as his caller ID flashed up on it, “Steve’s probably wondering why I wasn’t back yet.  I told him I was going to pick up the book then head out to do some laundry.”

“You should get it…it’s work…”

He sighed, not wanting the moment to end, “do I have to?”

She nodded once more, and he sighed.  He pressed the answer button and held the phone to his ear.  On the other side of the call, he could hear Steve ordering some people around, undoubtedly at the club. 

“Where the hell are you, punk?”

“I got caught up at the book store,” Bucky admitted, telling his friend a half-truth, “I-“

“You’re still at the bookstore?” Steve asked, cutting him off, “how hard is it to find a book?  Just go online and order a new copy.”

“I got the book…I just…I’m in the café…having a coffee.  Is everything okay?”

“Get back to the club…” Steve said shortly, “Romanoff and her sister are coming by with Barton…and I’ll need you and Sam.”

Bucky rolled his eyes, and Inez couldn’t stop the giggle from spilling from her lips.

“Are-are you with someone?”

“What?” Bucky asked, hoping that Steve wouldn’t ask the question again. 

“You heard me, Buck…are you with someone?”

“I don’t see how that’s relevant, Steve…”

“Buck!”

“I’ll be at the club soon, okay?” he asked, an edge to his voice. 

“Get here in ten.”

“Fifteen.”

“Eight!” Steve said briskly, before disconnecting the call.

Bucky gave a heavy sigh, his attention returning to Inez, “That was Steve…I have to go…”

She nodded sadly, but got up from her spot, nonetheless, “okay…well I enjoyed meeting you today, James…”

“Let me walk you to your car?” he offered quickly, standing up from his chair as well. 

“I-I shouldn’t,” she said with a shake of her head, “I-my brother doesn’t like me talking to strangers to begin with…and he definitely doesn’t like when-“

Bucky frowned and she stopped speaking, “oh…your brother…does he…control a lot of what you do with your life?”

“Yeah…”

His brow raised at her tone.  It sounded like she was almost as sad as he was at the fact that she hadn’t known the same freedoms that he had.

“How long?”

“Anthony always looked out for me…but after our parents died, he really made sure I was looked after,” she admitted with a shrug, “he’ll probably flip out when I get home.  I mean-“

“He won’t-he won’t hurt you or anything, will he?”

Her eyes seemed to widen at the thought, “what?  No…god no!  He’s a big teddy bear.  He just-he worries… and I know that I probably don’t help that…I left my phone at home because well-I don’t like technology…especially since of who he is-that’s not important.  I-I digress…I’m sorry.  You said you had to go.  I’m holding you up.”

“Steve can wait,” he said dismissively, “just…let me walk you to your car?  New York is a big city…and I’d hate for someone like you to get caught up in it…especially since you don’t have your phone.  I think your brother would be more upset that you were out here alone and didn’t have anyone with you.”

“Probably,” she giggled, “I-uh…I ditched him earlier…he probably still thinks I’m in his office…but when I found out about the book, I just had to come.  You wouldn’t believe how hard it is to find a copy of The Hobbit that’s pocket sized.”

“Trust me…I know…” Bucky chuckled, shaking his head, “where are you parked, doll?”  

“I-I took the subway!” she said quickly, shaking her head, “It’s New York…I don’t drive…”

Bucky couldn’t help but smile at how she was giggling yet again, “let me ride you home then?  I drove my bike…could get through the city quick…and you’d save a few bucks…”

She seemed to consider his request, if only for a moment, before shaking her head, “I-I couldn’t…I’ve never been on a bike…and anyways.  You have to get back to your friend. Steve…right?  Oh, and work!”

He sighed, “I-I want-can I ask to see you again without being too forward?”

“My brot-“

“Doesn’t have to know…” he said quickly, cutting her off, “I-I want to see you again, Inez.”

She bit her lip, then pulled the book from her bag, “on one condition…”

Bucky instantly shook his head, “I’m not taking the book…”

“You paid for coffee…and in my case tea…and all of my other books…please…take this one?”

He sighed, watching as she wrote something down in it before placing it in his hands. 

“What did you write?” he asked curiously. 

She leaned up and pressed a gentle kiss to his cheek before turning towards the subway, “open the cover…you’ll find out.”

Bucky waited until she disappeared out of one of the doors before opening the book.  He sighed dreamily as he stared at the phone number.  But his heart broke when he saw the next few words.  Her name, with a little heart around it.

Inez Stark

[straightplayshowdown]

Fences: Set in 1957 in what is assumed to be Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the play follows Troy Maxson, a 53-year-old man who struggles to provide for his wife and son in a time when slavery is over but the civil rights movement has still not come to fruition. Troy used to be an amazing baseball player, but was not able to make it to the Major Leagues due to the color of his skin. Troy has had to settle into the life of being a trash collector and barely scraping by, and this causes a lot of turmoil and frustration, especially in his relationships.

No Exit: As an exploration of human nature and relationships, the play follows three people to a room in hell, where their torture is revealed to be each other’s company. Three damned souls, Garcin, Inez, and Estelle, are brought to a lavish room to await their punishment. While they expected some sort of torture chamber to punish them in the afterlife, they instead begin to realize where the true torment really lies. 

Propaganda under the cut!

Fences:

Not sure what to say, so I’ll let the play speak for itself. Here’s James Earl Jones doing a scene from it: https://youtu.be/K_kGtQmvrVI and here’s a totally different interpretation of that scene from Denzel Washington: https://youtu.be/UBTXS42dj40

No Exit:

No Exit is a funny and gross examination of the way we interact with other people and how they affect who we are and how we feel, and also why we lie to each other. It’s such a fun exploration of character dynamics

it's good

There’s got to be someone back home who helps Amilia right? She’s not entirely alone?

-> Teams Of Endermeant // Jake Seresin

Running Interference // Jake Seresin

She has an Inez Bayliss. Her Flatmate. 

Jake definitely goes to one of Amilia’s Saturday Afternoon Rugby League Games and he definitely feels out of place. He doesn’t understand what’s going on half the time, majority—if not all the women surrounding him could take him out with the snap of a finger and his heart definitely sinks into the pit of his stomach when Amilia takes a particularly hard tackle.

“Ah—it’ll buff out.” Inez, Amilias flatmate, just shrugged and nudged the worried 6ft Flyboy sitting in the camp chair beside her. She knows he feels out of place, a little lost and in the whirlwind culture shock. She also isn’t all that inclined to help him assimilate. She watched Amilia almost crumple in on herself like a black hole because of Jake. She watched her friend nearly lose herself completely and now she was watching Amilia fall for the same guy who broke her heart like a dog who liked to be kicked. She wasn’t about to let that happen. Inez Bayliss was not about to let her friend fall back in love with this American lunatic who showed up out of the blue like she would in some poorly written fanfiction. “Hit ‘em where it hurts Oz! Go for a run babe!” 

Jake was trying his best to fix what he knew was broken. He knew it was going to take a lot to earn Amilias trust again, especially after the whole ‘You showed me just how fucking easy it was to forget about me.’ Argument that ended with something that rivaled a hate fuck. 

Inez found Jake in Amilias bed the next morning—it wasn’t pretty. 

“So like—Why aren’t any of them wearing any protection?” Jake knew that Amilia was wearing a mouthguard, in terms of ‘protection’ that’s as far as anyone really took it. “It’s a contact sport?” Inez was pretty content sitting on the sideline, she tore her hamstring a few weeks back and was benched for the rest of the season. What she wasn’t content with was playing babysitter. 

“Because it’s Australian Rugby League?” Inez replied with a frown. “The most you’ll ever get is a headguard but you won’t ever see someone run out full head to two decked out in all that crap you Yanks wear.” Jake nodded and tried to commit the fact that he probably wasn’t Inez’s favourite person on planet earth to memory as he watched with his jaw unhinged as Amilia, the inside centre, made a play—she had broken through and taken off towards the try line like the devil was chasing after her. 

He was. 

“Go you good thing!” Inez jumped out of her chair, raising the Great Northern beer can in her hand. “Run Chook! RUN!” Jake was quick to follow, he rose to his feet and cheered and shouted and even turned to pick Inez up in excitement and celebration when Amilia dove over the line, sliding on her stomach into the grass before he jumped up to celebrate with her team. It was truly a sight. 

Inez hasn’t seen Amilias true happiness shine through in months. That spark was just about to ignite into a flame before Jake showed up. 

It sent the crowd into a frenzy as the halftime buzzer sounded and Amilia came jogging back to the sideline where Jake was waiting for her. She beamed at him as she ran straight to him, like being in his presence was her home. 

“You were holding out on me whenever we played dogfight football.” Jake took Amilia in for all she was worth. She was dirty and sweaty and looked too beautiful to ever want to let go again. The Australian heat had done her justice. 

“Didn’t play rugby then.” Is all Amilia replied with as she took her mouthguard out and took the powerade Inez offered her. “Picked it up just after you got hitched—“ Things weren’t great and Jake wasn’t off the hook, but the way Amilia tapped his chest with her open palm before she let Jake wrap her up under his arm made him believe she was letting her guard down a little. She was letting him in again. 

She was. 

“You look pretty good out there Fisher.” Jake cooed as he pulled back and let Amilia squeeze the blue powerade into her mouth. “That girl with the orange hair hit you hard just before.” 

“You watching me Seresin?” There was a glint in Amilias eye, Jake didn’t know what to think but he swore she was flirting with him? 

“Only reason I’m here.” Before Amilia could keep the moment alive, her name was being called from the distance. 

“Amilia!” It’s a deep, low, damn near baritone voice that’s drawing all Amilias attention away from Jake and over to her team that’s ready to go over a few plays. “Get over here!” She goes off without another word but looks over her shoulder to see if Jake was checking her out. 

He most certainly was. 

“You know, it’s gonna take a hell of a lot more than you flying out to grovel for her to come around.” Inez caught Jake's attention as she handed him a beer. He took it without hesitation. “She built a sarcophagus around her heart the day she found out you got married, mate, so just be thankful she's taking it out on these bitches and not on you.” 

Jake just watched as Amilia talks with her team, their discussing strategies for the second half and sucking on a few oranges. He can’t help but to think that if he couldn’t fix this he’d never be the same again. Jake needed to call you—he needed advice, he needed his best friend. 

“Did she ever talk to anyone?” It was a heavy question to ask at a local community footy match, but regardless Inez answered with sincerity as she sized Jake up. 

“Listen Flyboy, you ain’t shitin my book.” She started as she sat back down to watch the second half of the game. The team had switched sides, Amilia was right in front of them. “But when someone’s heart is overloaded with pain? They don’t cry, they just go silent and turn to whatever outlet they can to try and help em through it.” 

Reality set it real quick for Jake. Amilia wasn’t doing this for the love of the game. She’d done it to hurt herself. To feel something. 

“She started playing rugby league, because of my marriage—“ Inez nodded along and popped the P on her small but audible ‘yep’ 

“She couldn’t hit you or your fucking wife from half way across the world could she?” Inez chuckled as she took a sip of her beer, basking in the sun of the mid afternoon. “And then you showed up out of the blue saying you got annulled and want her back and that you love her—“ Inez wasn’t making it hard for Jake to read between the lines, she was spelling it out for him on a kindergarten level. 

He wasn’t liked and he wasn’t forgiven. 

“For the record, I never stopped loving her, shit just got complicated real quick.” Jake had only met Inez once before and that interaction had gone exactly like this one. She was in Amilias corner with her whole ass heart. To get to her? Jake had to go through Inez first and that was going to be a real challenge. 

“Complicated enough for you to marry someone else while she waisted away on the couch like some kicked puppy you tossed out on the street?” The argument was getting heated and heated quickly. Jake tore his attention away from the game as he frowned at Inez. 

“Listen I don’t know what your problem is—“

“You’re my fucking problem mate!” 

“I don’t know what I need to do to prove to you I’m all in with her!” 

“Oh I don’t know, maybe not go out and marry someone the literal day after you told Amilia you still loved her!!” Jake didn’t know Inez knew, but she did. The look smeared across Jake's face told her everything she needed to know. “Yeah—I carried her upstairs on my fucking back that night because she was distraught.” Jake squared his shoulders as Inez shoved at his chest. He didn’t falter. “All you showed her was just how not good enough she was for you, and now that you’re here? I’m afraid she’s gonna let you ruin her again and I can’t pull her out of that hole again, this times on you mate but if she falls for the same bullshit you fed her a second time? Oh brother, am I gonna have the rehab centre on speed dial.” 

“I’m not going to break her heart again—“

Jake said it through a clenched jaw and a thick accent that made Inez want to gag. “I need her.” 

“But she doesn’t need you.” 

“Oh!” Jake and Inez had been too busy arguing back and forth to witness the stunning collision between Amilia and another woman on the other team. As Jake turned to see what all the commotion was about he saw Amilia cupping at her face as she took a knee. 

“Fuck that can’t be good—“ Inez cringed. 

“Oh my god is she bleeding?” Bleeding Amilia was, she’d collided and collided hard with the scrum half and knocked her head. Her nose was cut and had begun to bleed furiously. It looked a hell of a lot worse than it really was. 

“She’ll be right, Jackos going in.” Inez and Jake watched as the league’s safety rep in the yellow jersey ran out onto the field as Amilia jogged closer, cupping her nose to try and stop the blood from dripping into her mouth and down her chin. 

Jake didn’t like the way he cupped her cheeks to check the damage done. He didn’t like the way this Jacko guy tilted Amilias head back so she could look up at him. He didn’t like the way he got so close to her face he could have been going in for a kiss if she wasn’t bleeding. He didn’t like the way Amilia laughed so genuinely at something he must’ve said and he didn’t like the way his hands lingered an awful lot longer on Amilias face than they really should have. 

“Who’s that guy?” It was a feeling Jake hadn’t experienced in a hell of a long time. Jealousy. 

“That, is Jackson Stewart, the safety rep.” Inez explained through a wicked grin, she loved this. She watched with glee as the jealousy inside Jake Seresin began to bubble over. He wanted Amilia back so bad he was just gonna have to put in the work. “He’s also her ex—“ 

Jake’s heart sank into his stomach as he watched Amilia nod at some Jack had said. She was bloodied and needed tape. But she looked over Jack's shoulder to where Jake was standing and smiled softly his way. It was so fake even Jake could tell it had been forced. 

“Her who?”

The Cyberchase Homepage Through the years: part 1 (December 28, 2001 through December 12, 2004)

I decided to collect some screenshots showing the evolution of the Cyberchase area on the pbskids.org website over the years. Keep in mind that this is based off Wayback Machine archives, so I am limited to whichever variants the web crawler captured. They didn't necessarily crawl every time the page updated. There may also be assets missing, as the Wayback Machine doesn't always grab everything.

Let's start with the earliest known capture. This is from December 28th, 2001. This was 24 days before the show premiered.

We can see links to the webisodes, which were a set of official prequel web comics. There is a link to the original e-card creation page, as well as a link to the "What is Cyberchase?" page that explains the premise of the show.

The next major revision came up after the show released. The earliest capture of this page was on February 2nd, 2002. However, I picked a capture from August 3rd, 2002, as it was the earliest capture that wasn't missing any assets. We can see Jackie setting down to play the old Cyberchase flash game "Symmetrizer", while Matt is leaning on a small table near the TV that is advertising Season 1 Episode 18 "Problem Solving in Shangri-la". Inez and Digit are missing for some reason. Why is Buzz here without Delete?

They made a Christmas version of this page. The only capture I found was from December 3rd of 2002. They put some lights around their logo. Matt is now wearing a Santa hat. Jackie has a giant bow in her hair. Inez and Digit are still nowhere to be found. Did Matt and Jackie kick them out for breaking the TV?

The earliest capture I found of the next major update to the site was from December 3, 2003. Does anyone remember the "PBS Kids Go!" rebranding where they tried to market some of their shows to slightly older audiences? Inez and Digit are finally allowed to be in the group photo. They now have two TVs, as well as some combination of a computer and arcade cabinet. Why are Buzz and Delete here?

This version of the site got a Valentine's Day update to promote Season 2 Episode 1 "Hugs and Witches". This capture is from February 8th, 2004.

So, this capture from June 9th, 2004 is the same version of the site as prior to the Valentine's Day update. However, I thought I should include it because Creech and Slider popped in for a cameo.

Here is a capture from June 6th, 2004. It contains a summer promotion by Delete. It also replaced Jackie with a clone of Inez. This may have been a mistake in the website itself, since it seems to randomly pick a kid to put in a place on this background. Otherwise, the Wayback Machine may have grabbed the wrong image somehow.

And then, they cloned Matt on June 27, 2004. This must have been a mistake in the webpage code where they put the same kid in two places.

Yeah, Jackie got her turn to be cloned on June 29, 2004.

There was a layout update that added a promotion for new shows. I grabbed this example from September 3rd, 2004. It also shows off a contest from the time, which deserves its own post.

Fast-forwarding to October 13th, 2004, we have the kids in their Halloween costumes from Season 2 Episode 14 "Trick or Treat". We also see an advertisement for Season 3 Episode 11, "Shari Spotter and the Cosmic Crumpets". Apparently, they also fixed the duplication glitch.

On November 11th, 2004 We get a link to the winners of that contest.

This capture from December 12, 2004 shows that the kids have decorated for Starlight Night. We also see an advertisement for Season 3 Episode 12 "Starlight Night".

This seems like a good place to leave of for now. I didn't realize how many variants there were until I got into it. I will make a part 2 at some point.

[radioactiveglittercatvoid-vi]

hello tumblr I is back.

I READ WHAT THE RIVER KNOWS AND OMFG.

major spoilers ahead obviously.

okay so firstly the last chapter from whit's pov. AND the epilogue. BOI HE IS GONNA BETRAY HER AND HOPEFULLY THEY'LL BE ALR IN THE END BUT STILL. like. it was a really weird pov to start with. why's his brother coming there? inez fell for it- tf is that supposed to me. who is the person he got his telegram from? WHO IS SHE??? his mother? his English bride to be? WHO? AND why did he propose to her so outta pocket. is it something to do with her inheritance that she can access only when she is married?

Elvira dying was so unexpected. like I did not see that coming. I thought they'll live and like something else would happen NOT THAT. like I thought maybe it'll be Ricardo who'll be really wounded but still alive- which did happen he was wounded but ELVIRA DIED. like that girl was so loyal to Inez and they were such good sisters. i was in shock for solid ten minutes like huh???? what just happened????

the next thing is INEZ'S MOTHER. a lying cheating b-tch I hope she gets what she deserves. and her father is he or is he not alive? will they meet him the next book? or is he truly dead and her mother had killed him with her lover (who is also dead).

on to our main character inez is so naive to believe people- she does this so easily and it's easily justifiable cause she's always been sheltered. she is reckless and curious and naive and has a really good heart. she trusted her mother easily- like not blaming her she didn't even know her own mother cause she never spent much time with her. she was a walking disaster. and she is now paying for consequences for her reckless actions like bad things ARE happening to her and she is realizing why they are. I still don't exactly understand why her uncle, ricardo is the way he is- like yeah he wants his niece to be safe but his niece is just BAM and then he cuts her off FROM HER OWN INHERITANCE cause he's protecting her from herself. and this girl isn't seeing this she wants revenge now which is really fun. she has so much potential for the next book istg I am sitting on edge waiting for it.

the romance was just awwwww istg. the bickering. all the moments where whit is just so done with this girl and amused cause inez is a little clown goblin who gets into trouble and he loves her for it. but but but. the last few chapters from whit's weird pov to when he proposes something is like really off. too may questions that are needed to be answered.

I cannot wait for the next book!!!!!

literally me.

what religious inspiration did you use for each character? and are they currently religious in the series?

(i notice you reblog a lot of imagery)

<333

hiii <3 omg there must be a religious zealot on the loose, just saw an ask like this!! but i love the question as religion, in a way, is like the centerpiece of this work. at least for half the characters.

side-note, one of the biggest things to me about these characters was fitting them into the pre-existing historical context, so it’s why i’ll make a lot of historical references here and in the text. it’s important to me that these characters feel like they existed in the time period i designed them to, and not like i was just dropping them there and saying: stick! i’m also really interested in religion for an atheist, so…i was carefully to put my energy and extensive research into fleshing these out!! this got so long…

so i’ll start easiest — kit knows no god and owes no god, he’s atheist & religion doesn’t play a role in his personal philosophy in the slightest. he is, however, a gay man in the 1980s/90s, meaning other people will project their religion onto him.

but it’s not something he pays mind to. (or any extra mind to, as—for example—lex would). he faces the world with two middle fingers, but it’s ignorant to think he wouldn’t be affected by half of society opposing how he loves. he was kicked out of his parents house at 18 for his sexuality, and it definitely was based on religion, but they were also reaganites, so that says enough. he was also already on his way out; kid with a calling for punk wasn’t gonna last in a “just say no!” household. [also, as an italian-irish man, his family was catholic, and regan did win half the catholic vote (majority of those being white, thus…)]. anyway, no religion.

inez’s parents are both puerto rican immigrants, where 75-85% percent of the population is roman catholic. thus, she was raised catholic, and her family still is catholic — she, however, does not adhere and never really has. she has no sort of catholic trauma or anything [no more than the average catholic]. (though, i think she does tend toward the moral black-and-whiteness of somebody raised devoutly religious.)

it was something she lost interest in early on and not necessarily something her parents forced on her. one thing about inez — you aren’t going to tell her how to think. her parents knew that, her parents love her to death but openly acknowledge her as an odd one out, so they didn’t put their energy into that anymore than they did anything else. it led to a fair bit of distance, but so did inez pursuing art, and that definitely caused a larger rift than inez no longer attending mass after the age of like 15-16. i do know she’s confirmed, but it was more of a going through the motions thing versus some big coming-of-age, world-ending moment that it was for valerie. thus, no religion materializes in her imagery/vibe because she doesn’t revere a god.

she is still spiritual, however. honestly, if anybody were to get into things like astrology, crystals, tarot — anything like that — it would be her. she doesn’t, but some might assume so because she has very 90s whimsigoth feel. she’s not even extremely spiritual though, she just thinks there is an afterlife and a higher power (somebody watching over), but she doesn’t know what. agnosticism therefore might be an interesting concept for her. she does treasure things like meditation, and nature, and kindness, but not even because she’ll “go somewhere bad if she doesn’t” but because she finds it personally beneficial to her life and her own happiness.

steven: jewish! he’s jewish and he’s proud of it. this being more from an ethnic standpoint — he’s an ethiopian jew — because he’s not super strict otherwise/religiously. i think he definitely kept kosher growing up (his family still does), and he tries his best to in his adult life, but he’s not 100% perfect all the time. this is solely because of his life’s context — being a starving artist and then a traveling artist for most of his young-adult life, he would sometimes take what he could get. he still, however, avoids pig meat and stuff from the hindquarters of an animal (not that he’s getting many expensive steaks early in his career), and he washes his fruits and veggies throughly (inez shoved these down his throat) — not only for the kosher aspect of it, but because not washing your fruits/veggies is gross.

he also wears a silver star of david always and celebrates hanukah and observes other jewish holidays, if only casually. he might spend time with his family during these times. inez made sure to set up a menorah on the window sill beside the christmas tree. i really like to think post-series, into domesticity, it’s a lot easier for him to abide by the rules and customs of his religion, but i do think he struggles with a bit of the faith-based aspect of it as a gay man. still, he’s proud of his heritage and religion.

again, atheist. like kit, he really has no interest in religion, but he does take up more of a philosophical approach to life than kit does. when he’s miserable, we see a little bit of nihilism and misanthropy peek into the way he views the world. but he acknowledges no spirits or gods or really any presence of a higher power (or an afterlife beyond the ones that most people just casually reference in conversation — i.e. saying/thinking your dead mother is watching over you even if you don’t actually believe in heaven, just because it’s a comforting thought.

his father is white, basic protestant (but died in vietnam when dean was like two so nobody cares), but his mother is syrian. she speaks arabic and did bring this cultural influence into dean’s life—but she was also not muslim (was raised so) so much as she was spiritual. by the time she got to america (one of the things lex and dean bond over were their immigrant mothers), she was much more interested in the wide-open topic of “religious freedom” and just experimenting and learning about all of the faiths the country had to offer. evangelism, islam, judaism, hinduism, buddhism, catholicism, pentecostalism, all the isms, you name it — every branch. dean cites that his mother would “change her religion every week” because she liked to sit in on different services and hear the messages, visit booths at craft fairs, talk to strangers, etc, because she was just fascinated by humankind and their tendency toward higher power more so than she was finding one for herself.

the day dean and lex met, she was sitting in on a service of lex’s father’s. lex came out of the church afterward, saw dean sitting in the lawn (because he never really tagged along), and recognized him from school so he approached him, and…history from that point onward. it was this respect for religion without the ownership of religion’s oppressive tendencies that lex sooo loved about dean’s mother. she was a very comforting mother figure to him. dean’s mother also had him when she was 16, and right about the counterculture/summer of love time, so she just very much had a open mind to everything + faced everything with love. she was very supportive of dean when she learned he was in love with lex.

but, anyway! dean shucked all of that the moment she died. very much said to himself that none of her religions could save her so he therefore had no interest in pursuing them himself.

born and bred in the backwoods of indiana before moving to detroit, lex was raised in an iron-fist evangelist household. the fourth great awakening had a grip on the foster family and took up every aspect of his life. still does, in a way. his father was a reverend at a local matchbox chapel in indiana before they moved for…reasons, and then became involved in something a little more consolidated/concrete in the city, but he’s a preacher’s son through and through. and it’s funny that his father married a russian woman, because he is the stock character for what you think of when you think red scare/mccarthyism/nixon-era silent majority/bible-banging archie bunker/jesus freak, but that’s another topic of conversation (his father’s tendency toward pursuing what he opposes so he can subjugate it).

thus, not only was lex raised in a household that breathed the fear of god into everything (including all forms of media (even the comics lex loved as a child) and therefore lived a very oppressive, very unhappy, very dreary (some might say totalitarian like the conditions his mother escaped after fleeing russia post missile crisis) childhood, he was also raised in an abusive household. so there was the mental hell of borderline fundamentalist christianity and also the physical abuse of his father (and the neglect of his mother when it mattered). it was a miserable childhood until he made a friend in dean at age 14.

thus, realistically, one can imagine the effect this has a on a person, and lex found himself unable to let it go. he is still religious and will always, but in his own way. in his very specific, very cherry-picked, very very personal way. he rejects common christian principles of homophobia, bible-based racism (just racism in general, but you know what i mean), anti-choice politics, strict creationism in schools, and the subjugation of women. he’s very violently left-leaning politically, is very out-spoken about it, and it’s quite obvious in the way he carries himself that he has a very progressive state of mind despite what he was instilled with. he also could not care less about other people and their religion, meaning — he’s not one to impose. valerie, naturally—while catholicism falls under christianity—arrives into his life with common religious trauma but a few different beliefs because protestantism =/= catholicism. there are differences far beyond the imagery and far beyond what they’ll ever see eye to eye on, solely because they were force-fed different things.

still, he struggles. he acknowledges there is a god, but he feels betrayed, he feels at times abandoned, and he feels always watched regardless. he has a very strict moral code as seen in somebody religious (albeit one skewed) and he struggles with things like honesty, right/wrong, and just a sense of balance in general. if he’s not holy and justified, he’s immoral and evil. this is just the consequnece—plain and simple—of being hated not only by your father for seventeen years of your life before being ultimately kicked out for failing to fulfill the standards of a golden son he never will be, but being told — in conjunction — that god hates you too. there’s a constant war between: yes, i know god hates me and well, i hate god too, and the subsequent desire to please god that comes from the first and the subsequent guilt of blasphemy in the second.

he won’t ever let go of this, but he will find god on his own terms by the series’ end and will settle his soul in a way that doesn’t tear him to shreds to do it. it’s all he wants/it’s all he prays for — to have god in peace. because of that, religion absolutely permeates his vibe. he’s tattooed up and down the stretch with reminders, he wears his cross, it’s major fodder for his art, because there is nothing that makes him hurt like religion, but there’s also nothing (besides LOVE!) that makes him feel to such a degree, and he’d rather put it on track than he would keep it in his head.

and it’s very special to me for him to be able to do this, likely coming from a family with crazy evangelicals, and it’s really rewarding and fitting for his character to come to a healing place within his religion and to be accept that he doesn’t need to live like his father did because all he needs to do, really, is love his neighbor and accept the presence of jesus as his savior. (sounds so religious, but it’s simple). his religion is his problem and he never makes it anything else.

okay, i’ve arguably put the most thought into her. just because her story has been carefully tailored by me for like three and a half years now. i walked on to the scene with the desire to make a catholic character because i watched supernatural just like any other middle school girl, but it was never just about vibes and rosaries, i had a genuine interest and i have no real attachment to catholicism—so it was just a passion project to learn enough to write about a character who deals with it so in-depth.

so, yes, she’s catholic, but she fluctuates more so than any other character on whether or not she adheres to it. she wasn’t strictly raised this way either. not at first. it was a loose presence in her home until she was 13. after which her father left her, and her mother went off the deep end. she took the catholicism they already had and had her own sort of “reawakening.” valerie tells lex that her mom went crazy after her dad left, and when he asks what she means by that, she simply answers that she found god. (however, in truth, she rediscovered god). so valerie went from a very carefree, happy childhood, to an oppressive and incredibly impoverished religious household after losing her father’s mild intervention and financial assistance.

everybody knows at this point that she lived in a trailer, but she’s also the victim of a hoarding mother who notoriously quit jobs that paid in pursuit of “church service jobs” where most of her money went back to the church and the community. valerie resents her for this, saying it was lovely that they children at the drive had new coats, but that she was going without dinner at home because her mother did not routinely buy food. valerie’s aversion toward contamination comes not only from the filthy environment she was raised in, but also the fact that most of her food was not fresh (and, if it was, would spoil quickly) and was boxed/canned food and at risk of bugs/mice/or botulism. she would skip meals frequently because of this and owes her survival to free handouts at her high school — a difficult feat when she was always on display while dating danny, her quarterback football star boyfriend, who was notably wealth(ier.)

anywayyyy, so beyond the financial aspect that caused valerie to resent the solace her mother found in god and prayer, there was also the principles of the religion itself that were hard for her. her mother basically engrained in her that she was going to need a husband if she ever wanted to escape the life she’d been given (the life her mother was always making worse). she had the “sit still, look pretty” upbringing, and it made an abusive romantic relationship very difficult to leave because she was essentially told her entire teenagehood that it was the only way she was getting out of financial hell. it made being a woman difficult, essentially. she’s objectified and victimized throughout her formative years and she’s essentially told men will have their way with her and that they’re allowed to. it takes a lot of unlearning and it causes her a lot of fear, but it’s what makes her relationship with lex very important to her, because he preserves her autonomy and never encroaches on it (even when he hypocritically, strongly insists against using hard drugs lol).

but she makes it to seattle and is in state where she hasn’t really fought her religious trauma yet. lex’s is a constant battle; valerie, on the other hand, has mastered the art of repression. the last time she attended mass was the sunday before she left and she never looks back, she keeps her rosary in a drawer, she doesn’t pray (at least not until i give her reason to), and…yeah. that cross necklace is really the only mark of a “religious” girl, but she labels wearing it irony. and then the series persists, her life and her experiences muddle, and she’s forced to confront what she hasn’t and/or what she’s written off. she hasn’t actually answered any of the questions on whether or not she believes in god, and if the problem was god or the way god was thrust upon her (aka: would she be open to a higher power if it wasn’t diluted by backwards modern christian thought?). she gets to combat her catholic guilt and the sort of shame and guilt that follow her in her pursuit of hedonistic pleasure, which is aplenty in the life she lives, and she gets to cope with the ramifications she imposes on herself when hardship falls upon her — who she blames for issues out of control (herself, her mother, her father, god?).

needless to say, then, she will struggle much more than lex in terms of closing out those big open-ended questions in the sense that she doesn’t. it’s an ambitious task to untangle somebody’s religious crisis, and an unrealistic pursuit to believe she can do it in 4-5 years to perfectly fit the series after a decade and a half of hell. she might always be wondering whether there actually is a god, but she won’t fear the unknown. it may comfort her enough for lex to say that there’s no way he’s getting into heaven if she won’t, therefore at least they’ll be in hell together, which—if they’re together, then it isn’t hell. but she’ll make great strides in terms unlearning the principles of shame, guilt, male objectification, male entitlement, and the forced repression/servitude of women in religious spheres, which is more than enough of a start. she leads a lot freer of a life by time she reaches seattle and she’s practically unburdened (despite her wondering) by the series’ end.

thus — lots of imagery for her, because her religious crisis & it’s ups and down are a major part of her character’s personal journey & always have been. always will be.

thanks for asking!

My take on Inez's Mom in my fanfiction universe. Carmen is a loving mother and wife with major mama bear vibes, and at first doesn't trust Slider when Inez and him visit for dinner.

She works as a surgeon, so she's out of the house most of the time. Her now ex-husband was in charge of Inez (up until Inez turned 15, which was when they divorced ). Carmen would later remarry, but Inez rejected the new guy's attempts at being stepdad.

Inez's bio dad (Jorge) was physically and emotionally abusive, so Miguel (stepdad) was an improvement, but his overbearing style of parenting came off as suffocating to Inez.

Most of flash isn't canon in said universe, and that made me decide to make entirely new characters that are the Cyber squad's parents.
