#she also has hospitals and libraries and schools named for her

[the-badger-mole]

What is your NUMBER ONE headcannon for each person in the Gaang (Katara, Zuko, Aang, Toph, Sokka, Suki [and Appa and Momo if you feel so inclined])

Katara: After the war, she goes back to the NWT to train with Yugoda and becomes a master healer as well as a master of the NWT fighting style. From there, she goes back to the Foggy Swamp Tribe and masters their bending style, too. With the help of Sokka, Zuko, and (in some headcanons) Hama, she also rediscovers SWT waterbending and not only masters it, but teaches it to the new benders in the SWT. By the time she leaves the SWT, there has been a school established where all bending styles are available for study. She's one of the few who actually has mastered them all, though.

Sokka: He is eager to return home after the war. He throws himself into infrastructure and policy revamps, and he almost singlehandedly staves off the soft colonization attempts of the NWT. Under his efforts, the SWT rebuilds and reestablishes parts of its culture that had been lost during the war. With the discovery of oil on SWT land, he is also instrumental in establishing eco minded extraction techniques, and in trade ties with the rest of the world (although he is very much helped by his sister's deep ties with the Fire Lord). It's a surprise to no one when he's chosen to lead the SWT after Hakoda retires.

Toph: She does not become a cop. Instead, she goes back home and takes over the Earth Rumble, taking it from an underground even to a world wide phenomenon. She eventually allows benders of other elements to join, and the Earth Rumble becomes pro bending. She does also establish a metal bending school. In the end, she is wealthier than her parents, but because she couldn't really care less about money, she keeps enough to live at the standard she wants, and gives the rest away to causes that interest her...like the guy who wanted to set the record for the biggest bao bun ever, and needed funding for an oven big enough to cook it. She also establishes a halfway house for runaway teens.

Zuko: During his tenure as Fire Lord, he establishes a robust social services program that includes subsidized healthcare, education, and housing for the lowest income families. Under his reign, the Fire Nation becomes home to some of the earliest pioneers of mental health. At his wife's advice, he also makes paid maternity leave standard across the nation, and includes several programs to help single parents stay afloat. Taking inspiration from the SWT, Zuko makes some changes to how his advisory staff is selected. Instead of choosing from among the nobility, Zuko has the different provinces elect a representative to speak on their behalf. A lot of the nobles hate this, blaming his wife's influence, but the people adore their monarchs and despite their best efforts, there's little the nobles can do except start campaigning in their home provinces. It's not a perfect system, but it does open the door for the Fire Nation to end the monarchy within a couple of generations.

Suki: She continues to lead the Kyoshi Warriors for a few years after the war. She also helps train troops around the world as they pivot from active war service to more local work. She helps establish something like the coast guards for several different countries. Eventually she retires from that to help her husband run the SWT. She and Sokka make a wonderful team as he handles the domestic policies and she handles foreign affairs. She often jokes with her sister in law, Fire Lady Katara that they ended up with the same job.

Aang: I'll go with my most optimistic headcanon for him. He's an okay Avatar. Not great. Not the worst. After the war, he tries to take part in rebuilding efforts around the world, but he finds his help isn't needed much. He turns his attention back to salvaging what's left of the Air Nomad legacy, and discovers that there are actually airbenders still around. A few of them are even interested in learning to live like the Air Nomads. Many of them aren't, though, and after learning how to actually use their powers, they go off and do their own thing. To Aang's shock and dismay, eating meat has no effect on the strength of their bending, He does learn to deal with it and enjoy his time with the air benders who embrace the Air Nomad culture. He does go on to have kids, and he still favors the benders over the nonbenders. Ultimately, his legacy as Avatar boils down to taking Ozai's bending, and that's it.

tongue-tied

synopsis: y/n has a stutter and harry likes to hear her talk

word count: 3.1k

contains: fluff, highschool romance, harry's a football player, popular boy x shy girl, brief mentions of bullying

a/n: happy soft girl Sunday !! I wasn’t planning on posting just because I posted the second part of the aviator a little later than I was meant to but I could resist putting this one out <3

. . .

“E-excuse me!” Y/N weaved her way through the mass exodus of students heading in the opposite direction to the lunch hall. She had tried to leave class a few minutes before the lunch bell to avoid the large groups of people but she had been so invested in writing her essay, she’d lost complete track of time. 

She was running as fast as she possibly could to get to the library, knowing the person waiting for her wouldn’t get too impatient but she didn’t want to waste a second of their lunch break not being with him. Her bag slipped from her shoulder, her braids flying behind her and her knee-high socks falling down her calves. 

Y/N barely registered the people around her, wondering where she could be going in such a rush, until her face collided with soft, grey fabric. Before she could even get embarrassed and profusely have to apologise for bumping into them, long arms snaked around her, hands clasping behind her back. She caught a whiff of his woody cologne and the floral fragranced detergent his mum always used to wash his school uniform.

“There y’ are, Dove.” He murmured, “I was starting to get worried.”

Y/N looked up and settled on those familiar green eyes she loved so much. She relaxed into his embrace, “Harry,” She sighed. 

Harry and Y/N had been dating since they were fourteen. If it weren’t for the fact that their parents all worked together at the local hospital, they probably would never have met at all, although Harry liked to believe they were fated to be together so they would have ended up meeting each other some way or another. 

Harry had always been popular at school. For one, he was on the football team which instantly made him a name within their year group. He was also very handsome for his age. Girls would whisper and giggle whenever he passed by in the hallways even those from the lower years. Despite the fact they had just turned seventeen, Harry could honestly pass for an almost twenty-year-old with how tall and mature he was. 

Y/N was the complete opposite. When it came to her social life she was shy and not often one to make friends easily. She was part of the arithmetic club and had made a few friends there and in some of her other classes. She liked to keep to herself and struggled to talk in class not only because she was quiet but also because she had a particularly bad stutter. 

It had developed when she started High School. She had been to multiple speech therapists to help her get rid of it and although it wasn’t as bad as it used to be, it still never failed to make her life all the more difficult than it already was.

A lot of the other kids liked to pick on her for it too. Whenever teachers picked on her in class and she’d reply, the rest of the class would start snickering, whispering in each other’s ears. She wanted to be invisible to everyone but it was her stutter that made her stand out.

When Harry’s family would come over to Y/N’s house for dinner, her parents would often force them to go off together whilst the adults spoke in the dining room. She remembered the first time she invited him into her room and how embarrassed she was when he saw all her comic books lying on the floor that she had forgotten to put away. But it eventually became the seed of their relationship, the common ground that allowed them to bond. 

Soon Harry was inviting Y/N to his football games and up to his room every other weekend when she’d come over with her parents. They’d exchange comic books and talk about their favourite characters. Y/N was always apologising for her stutter whenever she’d ramble on for too long but Harry never cared, he loved hearing her talk. 

Their first kiss was on her bed whilst their parents were in the room below them. Harry was the one to initiate it and Y/N hadn’t been expecting it so it was slightly awkward at first but then she got used to it and eventually all she ever wanted to do was kiss him. Every weekend, whether at her place or his, all they did was sneak around and kiss each other, giggling and falling in love all at the same time. 

Now, three years later, things were still the same except they were older now and more in love than they were yesterday. 

Wherever you looked, Harry was there, and Y/N was never too far behind. Students had grown accustomed to their relationship, and the bullying Y/N endured wasn't as severe as it used to be. Even teachers couldn't help but be enamoured with their young love — how fortunate it was to find love at such a young age. 

Things were great, everything was great and Y/N had hoped she could finish her last year of High School on a high note. That was until she entered her English class on a Friday afternoon when the teacher announced it was time for their presentations which would go towards their final grade. 

“I can’t Harry!” Y/N cried into her pillow after school, Harry was sitting on the end of her bed with his back against the wall as he rubbed his hand up and down her back. 

“I know Dove,” He comforted her, already knowing the reason she was so upset over it.

“Everyone’s going to l-laugh at me,” She could already picture herself standing up in front of her class and everyone pointing and laughing at her. 

Harry sighed, “Dove,” He shook her gently, “Will y’ look at me?” 

Y/N hesitated before turning her head so her cheek lay against the pillow. Harry smiled and lay on his side in the spot next to her, their faces inches apart, “There’s m’ pretty girl,” He cooed, his heart hurting at the tears on her cheeks. He cupped her cheek in his big hand and wiped some of those tears away with his thumb. 

“I-It’s not fair,” She huffed, “Why’d I have to have this stupid stutter.” 

“Hey,” He frowned, “Enough of that hmm? Everything about you is beautiful, y’ know I love to hear y’ talk. Could sit here for hours and just listen.” 

“But you’re d-different,” She whined, shuffling closer to him so she could hide her face in his grey jumper. Her stutter was rarely ever that bad in front of Harry which was why he was the easiest person she could talk to. 

Harry laughed breathily, his hand going to her hair to play with the strands, “Would it help if I helped you a little?” 

“How?” Y/N asked, her words muffled by his jumper.

“We could practise in the library at lunch, y’ could read me a few things and it might help your stutter.”  He thought.

Y/N’s head looked up to his face where she could count every mole and freckle on his nose and cheeks. She couldn’t help but pucker her lips to kiss his jawline, “That’d be nice,” She murmured. 

“Yeah?” He smiled, kissing the top of her head in return, “I only want to help you so if you don’t enjoy it or you’d rather practise alone then y’ can tell me,” 

She shook her head, “N-No, I want to do that with you. I’d like it very much.” 

So it became a daily occurrence, five days a week during lunch hours when Harry didn’t have practice, they’d sit in the library and Harry would pick out a book for them to read. They started with simple YA books with less complicated words. 

“Good job, Dove!” Harry cheered every time Y/N finished a chapter. 

“Wait I’m not done,” She huffed and then said the last line just for Harry to cheer for her again just as proudly as the first time. 

Now that the day of her presentation was getting closer, they had finally made their way onto Classical novels which Y/N had come to despise. 

They walked with their hands intertwined to the library after Y/N had bumped into him in the hallway. It was natural as they stepped into the library and headed straight to their table in the corner hidden away by two tall bookshelves. 

Y/N placed her bag under the chair whilst Harry unzipped his to pull out the book they were currently reading. It was Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, even looking at the front cover made Y/N’s stomach turn. 

“A-Are you sure we can’t go back to YA books?” Y/N huffed, taking the book and opening it up to the chapter they were last on. 

Harry laughed, “But you’re doing so well, Dovey.” 

“I-it’s hard though and the w-words are so tiny.” She pouts, Harry can’t help but lean forward and kiss her. 

“C’mon, jus’ a few pages and then I can show y’ something I got for you.” He tried to persuade her, knowing the surprise would be enough to win her over.

“Fine,” She sighs dramatically. 

She read for five pages, Harry listening intently to every word. His eyes focused on her lips as she spoke, stumbling over a few words here and there. He tried to hold back from smiling so much with how concentrated she was on each letter of every word. He thought it was adorable how her eyebrows creased and her hands gripped the book. 

Eventually, she had enough, placing the book down on the table and closing it shut. “Good job baby!” He cheered, pressing multiple kisses to her cheek, “M so proud of you.” 

Y/N giggled, “Thank you, Harry.” 

Harry smiled and reached into the pocket of his blazer for the surprise he had promised her. Y/N looked down and saw a small, black pouch in his hand. He gave it to her, her fingers carefully pulling on the ribbon before pulling out the small item inside. 

“It’s an anxiety ring,” Harry explained as she held the silver ring in the palm of her hand. He picked it up and slid it on his pinkie finger to show her, “Y’ can twist this band whenever you feel nervous, thought y’ could wear it on the day of your speech.” 

He passed it back to her, Y/N narrowing her eyes to look at the spinning band which had a small inscription written on it, ‘i love the way you speak almost as much as i love you, your harry.’ 

Y/N’s eyes watered, unable to come up with the right words to say how much she adored it as well as the boy sitting in front of her. Instead, she leapt forward and wrapped her arms around his neck, “Thank you,” She murmured, “I love it. I love you.” 

Harry softened even more from her embrace, “I love you more, Dove,” He whispered. 

Y/N pulled away enough to kiss his lips, she was thankful for the privacy they had in the back of the library since she was never that good with public displays of affection and all she wanted to do now was kiss him because she was so grateful for him being there all the time. 

It wasn’t long before the day of her presentation. After school, Y/N had been working on a short essay. She was going to speak to the class about her favourite comic books and why she loved them so much. She had recited the words out loud to herself and Harry and even her parents, that she could probably speak it off by heart. 

Harry and Y/N stood outside the school. Her English class wasn’t until the third period but she knew she wouldn’t be able to concentrate in her morning classes until the presentation was over. Harry was wearing his football uniform because he had a game against another school in the morning. Y/N had been with him after school as he practised for it, wearing his coat as she wrote out her speech on a notepad. 

They stood side by side facing the school building as if it was some kind of beast they had to tackle, “O-okay,” She huffed, “I can do this,” 

Harry looked down at her smiling and then reached for her hand, “You can do this,” He squeezed her fingers in encouragement. 

“Good l-luck with your game today,” She grinned, standing on her toes to kiss his cheek. 

“Thank you, baby,” He spoke softly, “Y’ can tell me all about your presentation and how well it went afterwards.”

“Okay Harry,” She nodded, completely determined despite how nervous she was. She had spent weeks preparing, she couldn’t let fear get the best of her. 

“Good luck kiss?” Harry grinned, cheekily. 

Y/N playfully rolled her eyes and craned her neck to kiss his lips. Harry held her face in his hands, unable to pull away from her even when she tried to, “I love you,” He murmured against her lips.

“I love you too.” She sighed, blissfully. 

When third period came around, Y/N stood outside her English classroom, counting to five in her head. She clutched onto the piece of paper where her speech was written out in gelled ink, spinning the ring Harry had gifted her on her finger. With a deep breath, she opened the door and stepped foot into her classroom. 

. . .

Harry could hardly concentrate during the football match but he was trying his best. His team were two points ahead and it wouldn’t be long before the game was over. Since it was the morning and the game was mostly practice for the two schools competing, there wasn’t a huge audience watching them. 

He was glancing down at his watch every few minutes when he was supposed to have his eye on the ball, checking to see whether third period was about to start. All he could think about was his little dove and how nervous she was when they stepped into school this morning. 

She had been working so hard on reading things out, even stopping in shops when they went to town together to read the labels on the backs of food containers. He fully believed in her and her ability to speak in front of the class even when she didn’t and it killed him not being able to watch her do it. 

So when the whistle finally blew marking the end of the game, Harry ignored the celebrations with his team after they won the match and ran across the field through the entrance of the school. He raced up the steps, his football boots clicking against the crowd. He knew he probably didn’t smell the best and his knees were muddy from falling over but he didn’t have much time to think about it as he searched for Y/N’s English classroom. 

“Y/N?” He heard the teacher’s voice call her name as he approached. 

“A-Already? O-Oh, O-okay.” He could hear her nerves just by listening to her speak. 

Harry was about to knock on the door but he hesitated, wondering if it would worsen her nerves if he was in the classroom watching her. He knew how much of a big deal this moment was for Y/N and he didn’t want to intervene or make a spectacle of the moment especially since he wasn’t in her class. 

He lowered his hand and instead pressed his ear up to the door. 

“H-Hello,” Y/N started, “My name is Y-Y/N and today I will be sharing with you m-my love for comic books,” Harry’s heart ached as her voice came out quietly. 

“C’mon Dove,” He whispered, wanting her to do well. 

Y/N cleared her throat and let out a shaky exhale, “A-As you can probably tell, I-I am not all that good at speaking. I s-stumble over letters and sometimes even have to replace words with o-others because my mouth t-turns into mash potato and I can’t seem to get t-the words out.” People chuckled and Harry’s heart began to beat against his chest, “T-That is why I love comic books so much because of the l-lack of words. Instead, there are pictures,” Y/N continued, her voice gaining strength the more that she spoke, “T-They tell stories without the need for p-perfect sentences or flawless speech.” 

Y/N continued her speech and Harry spent the entire presentation with his ear pressed up against the door. He ignored the looks of teachers and other students walking past as a huge grin spread across his cheeks the more Y/N spoke in front of the class. 

By the time she had finished, it fell silent before the class responded with a round of applause, “Brilliant work, Y/N,” Her teacher said. 

Y/N felt like she was floating on a cloud as she left her English classroom. Even if her speech wasn’t perfect, she had done it and gotten through it all in one piece. As she stepped out, two arms snaked around her waist and lifted her off the ground, “Harry!” Y/N giggled as he spun her around.

“M so proud of you, Dove.” He kissed her softly, lowering her to the ground but refusing to move his hands from her waist. 

“I-I can’t believe I did it, Harry!” Y/N almost squealed. 

“Heard every word, y’ did so good, M so proud of you.” He rambled, unable to cease his admiration for her. 

“You heard?” Y/N’s eyebrows creased, her lips pouting slightly. 

“I ran here as fast as I could and stood outside to listen to you,” Harry explained, “Y did perfect, honestly, the best speech I’ve ever heard.”

“You really ran h-here to listen?” Y/N asked, still in disbelief.

“I did,” Harry smiled, “It was all I could think about when I was on the field.”

“Did you win?” Y/N asked. 

Harry pulled her flush against him, “You already know I did baby,” He smirked, kissing her. Y/N smiled against his lips.

“Let’s go out tonight,” Harry murmured, “To celebrate.”

“And do w-what?” Y/N wondered, even though the idea of spending any time with Harry was always her favourite. 

“Maybe go to the bowling alley and get dinner after,” He shrugs.

“O-oh and maybe we can stop at the comic book store on the way home!” Y/N said, excitedly. 

“Course m’love,” Harry’s smile widened the more she spoke, “We can do whatever you want as long as I get to hear you talk.” 

Y/N grinned broadly as Harry interlaced his hands with hers, feeling the cool metal of her ring against his skin. Together, they walked hand in hand down the hallway, Y/N unable to stop talking the entire time, while Harry hung onto her every word.

Just a bet.... Chapter 1

Boring, that's how I describe math class, the teacher shits on us for not remembering the formula for x or whatever she is blabbering about.

let me explain how college works for me, There are always groups of everything and clubs for anything, for example, the soccer majors, you know the leaders there are amazingly fit and all, all the girls there want them for their own, but that's not how it works in here then you have the dance majors  who are incredibly sexy because the way they move is so ugh.....and music majors hot af, science majors they are actually the funniest and smartest of all the uni, theater majors, dramatic af, psychology majors they only read your mind and always so nosy in whatever is going around because they are 'trying to understand whats going on in their heads so they can solve it ', law majors super gossips, and more, you know at the end it's a university and there is lots of stuff to study. 

My name is Y/n and I'm a law major currently in my 2nd year here, but I really don't have friends, just being around so many people is not a good influence all the time but people talk to me sometimes ( when they need something from you)  some girls in my major are amiable and cute so maybe they are not a bad influence.

"Y/n" Yuna screamed my name from across the class making people look at her and then at me, as she walked towards me with her friend group: Tzuyu, Mina, and Lia.

"hey girl you still up for studying in the library?" "Sure" you answered remembering that they invited you to study yesterday for a group project. you stand up and follow them out of the class to change your path to go to your locker, as you put your stuff away you hear loud laughs and teasing between a group of boys passing through the hallways behind you, the sassy, fun, amiable guys at the school, the popular Boys they are pretty chill but of course, they have there bad shit like hookups during the week with different girls and then leaving them heartbroken after

Seugmin is a baseball major he pretty cool ngl, then there is Lee Know a dance major, Felix in computer science major, Han, Chanbing, and Bang Chan are Music majors but they also studying something else Han is in a Scientific major and Chanbing is in Economics Chan is in Business and then there's  I.N who also studies law and Hyunjin who is in soccer major and Accounting.

"Y/nnnnnnn" Hyunjin comes running toward me with a cute smile and a wobbly run and grabs me from my shoulders moving me side to side as I almost lose balance "What do you want Hwang?" I said annoyed because he only talks to me to annoy me or ask me for something, like last time...

Flashback* 

"Y/nnnnnn," he says screaming from the end of the hallway as I turn to him and say, "What Hwang?" I looked dead into his eyes "Oh don't be mean to me you love me" he said dramatically" " I just wanted to borrow 20 bucks please" he begged "For what?" he stayed silent and said "Well I bet Han that he couldn't fit his whole hand in his mouth and he did it but now it's stuck so Lee know is taking to the hospital, but now I owe that dumb fuck 20 bucks and I didn't bring cash with me, so please have mercy with this beautiful soul in front of you"he pouted his lips and gave the puppy eys as he almost kneeled down "fine! you better give them back tomorrow or you dead meat" I warned him as he left smiling and blowing a kiss at me jokingly 

End of Flashback*

"So... I bet I.N to do karaoke night yesterday at his house and I would've done his statistics homework but now I'm too tired to do it and it has Law examples, you and he study that so can I please copy yours for him" he pouted his lips as I sighed and open my locker to give him my notebook "thank you so much I owe you so much girl," he said screaming and running towards his next class as I got to mine.

12:05 pm 

it was lunchtime time so I went out to a cafe to get myself caffeine for the rest of the day and a chicken sandwich "That will be 14.99" the cashier said to me as I opened my wallet to get my card "I'll pay for that" a man next to me swiped his card for my order before I could even say anything "ok perfect please wait on the line and your stuff will be here soon" the girl said with a smile and left.

the man looked at me and smiled "Chan?" I asked confused as to why he was there and why he paid for my order "Hey, what up?" he said casually as he leaned against the table  "Can I get the same please?" he said to the cashier as he paid his stuff, "umm why did you pay for my things? I was going to do it" I told him while he smiled and told me "You Hyujins friend right? Y/n?"

I looked at him suspiciously and said "Yes and no I'm not giving homework for free" "Technically is not free, I just paid for your meal, but I'm not here for any favours no worries" He said as we took a seat in one of the tables, I ate my food feeling weird cause wtf do he want now? " so is there anything you need?" I said and he looked taken back at my comment that yeah... it was kinda rude.

"no nothing I just saw you were a good friend of Hyunjin's and you seem like a fun friend to have around, so I wanted to be friends with you too," he says smiling at me as I looked confused at him "Plus you're cute," he says with a little smirk appearing in his face "No seriously what do you need?" I said a bit annoyed by his comment and he just chuckled "Nothing relax I just want to be friends, as I said you look like a fun girl" he said as we continued eating, and then before I was finished someone entered the cafe "Chan my man" they fist bombed as the other male sits " hi in Han, your Hyujins friend right?" "OK, what does Hyunjin need now? cause this is weird"

"what do you mean? can we just talk to you?" Han said as he looked offended by my feistiness, I put my head down in shame but you can't trust these guys, they are always up to no good, as I tried to finish my food and just replied to their questions and small talk I got up and picked my stuff "ok I need to go, class is going to start soon, it was nice meeting you all" "let me take you to class" Chan said as he got up to accompany me but I stopped him before anything else "oh you don't have to don't worry I have to go to the library to study anyways" "I was heading there, lets study together" he said keeping up with me as I walked " I have a project with the girls so you will be stuck listening to us, so if your planning to pay attention to what your studying then I recommend to study in another table, they can be loud sometimes" " no worries I would like to learn what you know" he smiles as he follows me, why is he acting as he knew me since forever? doesn't he know that he looks like a creep who is about to kidnap a 23 female or what?.

[findafight]

tell us the ship, explain your thoughts 👀

Me trying to be vague and everyone immediately perking up like prairie dogs ready for tea alskfnkdkd. Idk I don't think it'll surprise anyone on my blog I've spoken about it in the past. Just got annoyed at it always being there for no reason and not making sense to me one too many times, I guess.

It's r0nance. I simply do not vibe with it at all. I think, if given a sterile au where there's nothing and no one connecting them and no homophobia to worry about, it might be interesting to possibly explore them being attracted to each other but realizing their personalities and goals and priorities clash too much to work out. A bright first fling into maybe-love that fizzled quickly. I've sort of done this in my post o66 sto bin au for them, but I'm probably not going to actually explore it there. (As it's already in the past even during the war for that au)

But in fics that try to be more or less canon/fix it type deal, it really doesn't make sense to me without even mentioning the hairsprayed elephant in the room. Robin and Nancy's personalities don't seem to mesh well, what with Robin's rambling tangents and Nancy's need to focus.

Robin would probably want to do something specific with her life, but she also wants to wander! Her parents are hippies and she wants to visit Paris. She wants to travel in Europe, and probably stay at sketchy hostels and backpack in the mountains, talking to locals that she doesn't have to worry about ever seeing again. Nancy is planning on immediately going to her dream school after highschool and likely pursuing a career right out the gate. She's very driven and focused, wants to go out and seize opportunities that can assist in reaching her goals, and I don't see Robin's dreamier personality traits fitting with that.

I think @thestobingirlie mentioned that while Robin and Nancy both experience the sexism and misogyny of the 80's, Nancy doesn't experience ableism as Robin does. And she doesn't try to understand where Robin is coming from, only openly appreciating her efforts after she ranted at the hospital director.

Robin rambles! We see her either ramble or give clipped answers ("I'm Robin I work with Steve!") When she's nervous or under stress or excited! We see both Nancy and Steve react to these rambles in different ways. When Robin goes off topic in the library with the conspiracy paper, or talks a bit too much about how much she talks a bit too much, Nancy's annoyed. She's initially dismissive of the national Enquirer esq newspaper Robin brings up that helps solve the case (go Robin!). Robin babbles at Steve a lot, and he never makes her feel bad about it. She rambles about rambling to Vickie and the Muppet joke and he adds little commentary as needed, letting her go, or he cuts her off with a little joke during her rabies freak out. He lets her ramble or lets her know she should stop without being actually annoyed and letting her know that by not telling her outright to stop. (She knows immediately that it's a joke, and she jokes back, although understandably nervously. I love them.)

Them being a background pairing so often is annoying, though to varying degrees. If it's just as Robin's gf mentioned I, like others, just kinda...change it to Vickie's name in my brain lol. But other times it's not and it just. Doesn't make sense why Nancy would be such close friends with Steve (her messy breakup ex!) and Robin and Eddie. That girl has big city dreams, she's getting the hell out of her tiny hometown and not looking back. Let her be free!!

I mean obviously the bit I hate about it is that Robin holds a grudge and Nancy broke Steve's heart, which I don't see as compatible, even if we take into account that it's likely Steve and Robin have no idea Nancy cheated on him, and that Steve is an unreliable narrator and blames himself for the breakup. Steve and his relationships with both Nancy and Robin are so pivotal to all three of their characters that ignoring the history there seems a disservice to the complexities of their relationships with each other.

#also really icks me when nancy clocks steve in fics like nooooo no. #thats scary for steve! and nancy gives me the vibes of someone that hears her ex is bi and be super weird about it #let us not mention robins character falling apart as soon as rnce is introduced as well. or the erasure and hate of our queen Vickie #anti ronance #findaanswers #anonasaurus #finda's rambles #tbh i hope nancy ends the series single she needs and deserves to focus on her relationship with herself and kr her family withiut romo #stranger things #stranger things meta #sorta i guess #robin buckley #nancy wheeler

From the same post with a bunch of ocs without information

Row and Book

Formally, I only showed Row, but from the moment of his creation I had a girl as his mate… And yes, both characters were created for the universe of the book (well, or a series of three books) “The Gray House” by Mariam Petrosyan.

Row was created sometime in 2022 when I read the story for the first time, and Book was created in the summer of 2023 while I was rereading Gray House in the hospital.

By the way, the events of the Gray House take place in a boarding school for teenage children with disabilities (although sometimes completely healthy children were sent there). And the students here use nicknames instead of names, so Roe and Book are nicknames.

The Gray House is divided into female and male buildings, the residents of which began to contact only towards… the middle of the third act. And the residents of the men's building are also divided into "packs", each living in their own dorm room.

And Row from the pack of Rats. Which are known for their behavior between punks and clowns, they cannot be trusted with sharp objects and in the common dining room there is not a day when one of the Rats does not try to open himself with a fork. It's just for show though. They are very noisy.

Row is also noisy (that's actually why he got his nickname, another version is Gwalt, which is essentially the same thing in my language), despite the fact that he is mute. He lost the ability to speak after an unsuccessful operation. He is also the reason why the entire pack knows sign language, although Row gestures so quickly and vigorously that even they do not always understand him.

Also, despite the fact that he is unable to speak, Row is a member of the Bandar-Logs, a group of the most restless and talkative boys from different dorms, usually the news of the Gray House is transmitted through them. And yes, Row still manages to convey information sometimes.

Row collects self-tapping screws, removing them from everywhere and collecting them in a jar. He is literally ready to fight for this jar. He loves self-tapping screws so much that he wears one in his ear as an earring.

Row has been at Gray House since he was 10 years old and he's "currently" 16, he's rude and can easily end a "conversation" by giving the middle finger and walking away. But despite this, he meets the Book, his absolute opposite.

Book herself came to the Gray House at the age of 11 and she is “currently” 15 years old. She got her nickname for the huge collection of books in the entire House, so many of them that they stand in stacks next to her bed in the women's dormitory, forming a “wall”, a folding screen behind which she can hide from others. Some of the books she brought with her from the moment she arrived at the House, some were overdue and not returned from the library, some came from nowhere at all. And the girl herself didn’t even read half of it.

She wears a homemade “amulet” made from a button around her neck, in her words, for a better connection with society. She is nearsighted and can't see anything without glasses.

I learned sign language in a month, almost immediately after I met Row. Despite the general background of mental instability, they have a rather sweet relationship. The girl often reads out loud to the guy.

eddie munson x non-binary reader

+18 MINORS DNI

sinopse: You are shy and keep to yourself, mainly having your dog's companionship. But when you go to summer camp for an extended weekend, you come back to find that your dog has made a new friendship with the infamous town metalhead, Eddie Munson.

cw: underage drinking, drug use, canon divergent, eventual sexual situations, bisexual reader.

wc: 2193k

chapter (1/?).

Being awake by something licking your face was common for you ever since your father gave you a very cute, and very impatient, Yorkshire. The dog, named Fuffly, was never one to wait for you to wake up by yourself.

Opening your eyes, you grunted a not very polite sound trying to shield your face from the attack. 

Today was a special day for your summer, you would soon be going to a week-long activity at a camp. Of course, it was your mother's idea to get you out of the house for a little bit this summer. Unfortunately, that means one week away from your dog, and that made you a little anxious.

As an only child, alone in a big house with only your mother and father to keep you company, you felt lonely every awakening hour since you were little. You couldn't count on the neighborhood kids as well, since you weren't exactly near the city, with a big house right after the Lover's Lake and the closest things to your house were the junkyard and the hospital, where your parents worked almost all day long. Commuting by car wasn't a problem for them, but for you, it meant not a lot of opportunities to hang out with kids after school.

At school, you would keep it to yourself, as well. Being rich in a small town like this had its perks, nobody would have the guts to mess with you when their health was in the hands of your parents. But they would look for longer than necessary when you would just nod your head whispering a "hello" to Steve Harrington, crossing the hallways going, probably to the library to quietly read some adventure books. You wouldn't go as far as to say that you are friends with Steve, no, but he and his parents were invited to your house for a few dinners. They came all the way from almost crossing the town to keep in the good graces of the other very rich family of Hawkins.

He was... polite with you. His eyes would also wander off to you for more than necessary across the mahogany table only to ask you to pass him the plate of peas. Never successful on the task set on him to have a conversation with you that lasted more than 5 sentences. Is not that you weren't fond of him, you didn't hold that big of an opinion either. Steve was just always surrounded by people, and even when he wasn't, even when it was just him across you trying to look you in the eyes while asking you for peas, he carried the weight and opinion of all the other eyes of Hawkins with his. Steve was never alone, not even when he actually was.

And you only knew 'alone', it scared you to jump right into a big group situation that Steve would give you, so you kept him at arm's length all the same.

The other person on your radar was Robin Buckley, a sweet and kind-looking kid for as long as you knew her. But again, you didn't know her personally. She just was always there in some of your classes, advanced for her age, to gravitate to anytime one of you had to do a group project. She wasn't surrounded by people, like Steve, but she walked around with good close friends as far as you know. Maybe you two could be friends, you thought you could be a good match, but a terrible shyness from both parties kept that option still closed off. 

Leaving you to have your dog as your best friend. You weren't 100% upset with this development, Fuffly was everything you ever wanted: company to your readings and walks around the forest, very soft fur to run your hands to, and high spirits to keep your laziness in check, given that you would be late for your trip with it didn't wake you up.

Your biggest fear right now is that Fuffly would be lonely for those five days you would be at camp. Leaving now, Thursday, only to be back by Monday, but your mother made sure that on those days she would only be in the hospital in the mornings, keeping her afternoons and evenings to take care of Fuffly. 

"Honey, come down, we have to leave soon." You heard her from your room's door, closing it down and walking down the stairs with Fuffly in your arms.

"Please, don't forget to walk him a bit before you go to work, he enjoys the morning air." You've said it again, knowing very well that you have repeated the same sentence over and over again for the last couple of days. Your mother makes an annoyed sound but she has a kind smile on her face.

"Yes, yes, I know. Now, hurry, hurry, to the car."

Your mother, just like you, has soft features on her face, big round eyes, and cheeks. But your hair is equal to the one of your father, as well as your height. You were a good mix of both, the only thing you didn't have of them, it seemed, was their confidence and their social butterfly ways.

You hoped in the car, hoping that days will pass fast and that soon you would be back from camp to relax and read the rest of your summer away. Waving away from the car window, your eyes keeping on the image of your mother and Fuffly by the door.

Edward Munson was never one to be up and bright in the morning, but this summer he was having a deep and serious case of insomnia that made him wake up by four a.m. and become unable to sleep after that. So, he caves into driving his van a bit, parking by the woods, and breathing the early morning air while smoking. He could never understand the preppy snobby mothers that would jog to their morning workouts when they could be sleeping in comfortable big beds, but he started to get why some people thought waking up by sunrise was so refreshing.

Even he, in his constant state of tiredness this summer, felt better when he got in the woods. His joint also made it up for him, relaxing his muscles and letting him close his eyes in bliss.

So, he wasn't expecting a small bark to interrupt his thoughts that Friday morning. Eddie opened his eyes right away, looking around only to find a small weird-looking dog in front of him.

"Hey, little friend", he stated in the softest voice he could muster, reserved for pets and kids, "what are you doing here?"

Squatting down, he was soon rewarded with another bark as the dog approached. It was a very small dog indeed, and he soon realized it was one of those expensive types of dogs that parents from the other side of the road would gift their kids for Christmas. What was a dog like this doing in a forest? Was it lost?

Starting to pet him, Eddie found out two things: one, that this dog was too trusting of a stranger like him, and the other was the ridiculous name on the collar, Fluffy.

"I mean... you are fluffy indeed, your hair is almost as curly as mine", he laughed talking to the dog while the animal was happily receiving all the pets he was giving to its belly, "but you won't scare anyone with it, shouldn't you be named 'Curly Destroyer' or 'Venemous Bark'... You know, only to keep others on their toes, give them something to think about."

And even though Eddie hadn't been able to sleep well that night, or most of the nights before, he felt a bit of energy coming back only by those hours he spent with Fuffly. He kept calling him Curly Destroyer for shits and giggles. 

After a couple of hours, Fuffly just barked and went away in the same way he came. Eddie almost went after him, but he knew he was pushing his luck smoking openly in the outdoors like this, even if he was a bit into the woods of a secluded area, it was too near the police station for his liking. 

He hoped that Curly Destroyer knew his way back to wherever his house was. 

The next day, he heard the bark again. Not that Eddie had his hopes up to play with a small cute dog that morning, but he got a stick just in case. So after good minutes of petting his belly and talking about a movie that Eddie watched the night before, they started to play catch with the stick, and in that moment Eddie felt that all his problems went away, by just a bit.

Fluffly kept coming back on Sunday and Monday, and those days were enough for Eddie to get a bit too attached to the dog. He kept reminding himself that Curly Destroyer was not his, it was probably owned by some snot-running nose spoiled kid that didn't take very good care of their dog. That thought made Eddie a little bit angry, Curly Destroyer was clearly a smart and good companion, so why was it wandering around the woods every morning by itself? Eddie could even keep him by himself if he wanted, and it was not that he didn't want it, but he knew that depending on the family dognapping their expensive dog was a headache his poor ass could handle with.

On that Monday morning, only a few meters away from where Fuffly would walk around, a car with would inside was just parking by when the dog came from behind the house. After you hugged your mother, a happy bark made your day immediately better.

It makes you wonder though... Why is your dog's white fur so dirty? 

The next morning, you notice how you missed being wakened up by a happy dog in these last four days. It's Tuesday morning, and the summer keeps getting warmer, so you put on light clothes as you get ready to walk your dog. It looks excited as it keeps circling you around as you both walk out the door. 

What you didn't expect was for Fuffly to start to walk way ahead of you after a few minutes of walking. You didn't use a leash on it as it used to walk beside you since it was an even smaller puppy. Fuffly soon barks with full energy and runs off to a different part of your usual track. You are stunned by only a second before following it inside the forest.

"Fuffly, where are you going?"

Sadly for you, the dog is way more fit to run around than you, you already feel your sweat coming down your neck as you arrive at where it seems your dog ran off. Panting, you look up to see it in front of you a few meters away, the surprise was, Fuffly was not alone.

Rubbing the belly of your dog with the biggest smile you have ever seen on someone's face was a boy. Curly hair, a white shirt, and jeans were enough for you to recognize a bit of who he was. You have seen him walking around the school with other kids that also looked a bit ruff around the edges. You heard things as well, or at least people talked very loudly about him sometimes, but you usually didn't keep up with gossip. You regret it now, a bit, maybe if you kept it with gossip you would have a piece of information or two about the person your dog just ran away to, at least the name of the boy Fuffly was so happy to have to pet him would be nice.

You start to walk again and decided to introduce yourself. Of course, your hands were sweating now not only from all the running you did. Your mouth was getting dry and you tried to remind yourself that he was just a person, a person petting your dog, and you should come, say hi, and get your dog back before he thinks that it was abandoned or lost.

Clearly, the boy was too distracted to notice you come around them, you even begin being able to listen to what he was talking to your dog.

"...you came again, Curly," he laughs, and the sound brings a warmth to your cheeks that you blame the warm weather again, "maybe I should really bring you home, I think you would be very happy there."

Eddie was kidding, of course, the boy had no intention of taking Curly Destroyer away. But before you could prepare to say a polite hello, your mind went furious at him saying that. Who does he think he is? Already trying to take a dog he just found in the woods before its owner could reveal themselves.

"Absolutely not!" Your voice came loud, scaring the shit out of Eddie and making the head of your dog turn to you, Fuffly barking happy to see you again. "That's MY dog!"

Dont Leave Me

Will Byers x Platonic!Reader

Stranger things 4 spoilers!

Request: I need some angst like a ship that is very wholesome that you thought they’ll have a happy ending and instead they got a sad one.

Will Byers x reader where the reader is a new girl in town just like Max, she would always carry a polaroid around. (Y/n) was good in wrestling due to her father who was a pro wrestler and moved to Hawkins to settle in.

They met in the woods, (y/n) was taking some pictures of flowers. She encountered Will, and it seemed that they keep hanging out at the same place. (Y/n) even helped him from the mind flayer where they meditated. Will always felt safe and peaceful around her.

The gang would even tease them for being close, even though they weren’t together yet, and in season 4 when they were rescuing Eleven, at the dessert.

She was shot and Will was the one holding her close as he was trying to stop her from bleeding. He was crying badly that (y/n) was still alive luckily and got her to the hospital. Will stayed by her side and he was afraid of losing her again. @oyasumimosura

A/N: AU where Will actually has a good friend that cares about him that isn’t just Mike ignoring him for El >:( REQUESTSARE OPEN (SPECIFIACLLY EDDIE)

Hawkins was never what you expected. When you were 12, you moved here with your parents, you weren’t excited by any means. You were leaving New York City behind. But you had to accept it, your dad was a pro wrestler and he was set to retire, and he didn’t want to be around the temptation of jumping back into the ring. So, it was agreed to move back to your parents' quaint small town of Hawkins. Your family had visited over the years, to see family, for holidays, but you barely knew anyone here you weren’t related to, it made going to school a lot scarier. Your dad, the ever protective, had taught you how to defend yourself, mainly for the possible case of mugging in the city, but also for his own piece of mind. To say you were a talented wrestler was an understatement, you were trained by one of the best in new york. 

And so here you were, in Hawkins. It had been a few days since you started. You’d made a few friends, but nothing major, you still sat and ate lunch alone. To combat the fear you walked around the middle school, looking for any good spots to take pictures. A polaroid camera that was practically attached to your hip was your best friend, eventually you stumbled across a field in the back of the school. Just far enough for it to be calm, but close enough to hear the bell signalling the end of lunch. Smiling, You set your things down and began happily snapping the meadow, the wild flowers, the trees, a few birds, all until your camera had run out of film. Huffing, you sat with your bag and began to change the film, convinced you were completely alone, all up until you saw a pair of legs standing in front of you. Looking up in surprise you saw him, your eyes widened, before you could speak he noticed the pile of pictures beside you that had just developed.

“No way, these are amazing.” The boy smiled at you as he bent down and took the pile, gently  flipping through them and admiring each one individually. You smiled at him.

“Thanks, it's just a silly hobby, I didn’t think anyone would come out here.” You spoke gently as he took a seat beside you “What's your name?”

“Will Byers, I’m in your history class.” He smiled

“Im Y/N L/N, nice to meet you.” 

That is where your friendship began. The two of you would meet there regularly to talk and take pictures, Will even began borrowing library books to help identify the birds or the flowers that grew there. By the time you were 14 and had left Middle School, the two of you were nearly experts on every species you had come across in the small meadow. 

Not to say there were downsides of the friendship, but there were definitely obstacles. The minute you found out about the Upside down, the demogorgon, everything Will had been through, you were petrified. This prompted a promise to him, that if things ever got bad again, you’d be right by his side. 

When he was possessed by the mind flayer, you brought him to the meadow with Joyce and Johnathan, hoping that somehow that would help him. It did, eventually you broke through to him, only briefly, after spending 5 minutes pointing out the different plant life of the meadow. He looked up at you with scared eyes and repeated the name of some tree you had spoken to him.

“Y/N… I don’t want this, help me.” He muttered to you, the fear in his voice was evident. But it was evidence to you, Joyce, and Johnathan that he was still in there. You stuck by his side with Nancy and Johntahn through everything, through trying to burn the mind flayer from him, and to the minute he woke up. It was one of the most terrifying experiences of your life. But you wouldn’t give up on your best friend.

After that, you became friends with everyone, you’d had wanted to meet them before that, but the opportunity never came up. They convinced you to play DND, start playing video games, Max taught you how to skate, you had sleepovers with her and El, and life was bliss for a while. All up until the events at Starcourt, when Joyce packed hima nd the rest of the family up to California. 

It broke your heart to leave your best friend, but you wrote to him as often as you could. Visiting the meadow, and snapping pictures of whatever you could. Many letters had attached pictures of your friends, even of Eddie and Hellfire once you started highschool. The two of you had a scheduled phone call every sunday night, you’d discuss what had happened through the week in person, get any missed details from letters, and just talk, whatever you could fit into the 30 minutes your parents agreed on when Will moved. When Mike approached you about going to California on Spring Break with him, so he could visit El, and you to see Will you were ecstatic. 

Right off the plane you practically tackled Will into a hug before saying your hellos to Johnathan and El, and the four of you were soon off to the roller rink. Things happened, like El smacking the bitchy girl in the face with a roller skate. You were shocked, but also proud that she could stick up for herself like that, also admiring her form when she threw the punch. Of course you’d taught her how to do that, what's the point of having a wrestler dad if you didn’t teach your friends self defence after all?

And then everything went south. The cops, the agents, El ebing taken to Nina, not exactly how you envisioned spring break, but then again nothing in your life since moving had been normal. Unexpectedly you found yourself in a Surfer Boy Pizza van, with Will, Mike, Jonathan, and Argyle ona  rescue mission for El. After many arguments, and wrong turns, the five of you were tearing through the desert to the coordinates that Susie had found and you were close to the base. From the back you saw helicopters, people being shot at, and El, stood there with her powers back in full force. The five of you ran out of the van and tried to reach her as fast as you could. You were near the forefront, being a lot more athe;tically able than the rest thanks to your dad, one of the first to reach her as bullets were flying. She was concentrating on the helicopter that was shooting at her. Just before you reached her you shouted to her, a mistake on  your part.

El’s concentration wavered just long enough for a stray bullet to hit you square in the shoulder. You let out a scream and fell to the floor. Though, it gave El enough anger to concentrate into her powers, and just as you hit the ground, so did the helicopter. All attention was on you. On the ground, writhing in agony. Willow was the first to reach you, he held you in your arms as you cried.

“Y/N! Y/N! Stay with me you're ok, you're fine i promise-” His voice was shaking as he held you, Jonathan was on your otherside with Mike, El and Argyle stood around you. Jonathan took his jacket off and pressed it hard against your shoulder and you let out another scream. 

Will had tears in his eyes as he held you. He was shaking, trying to keep you conscious. 

“We need to go, guys look!” Mike shouted, he could see the soldiers emerging from the bunker, without another word Johnathan scooped you up in his arms and with the rest ran to the van. 

You were lying on El’s lap as she tried to soothe you, Will was a mess, MIke was panicking, Jonathan was desperately trying to stop the bleeding while Argyle drove the van out as fast as he could.

“Y/N, you’re going to be okay, okay? We’re gonna get you to a hospital, and you’re going to be fine.” He held tightly onto your hand as you grew pale, your breathing was hitched and you nodded, unable to speak.

Eventually, you were taken to the hospital. Some story was created about a rouge shooter on the road and the doctors had assured everyone you were going to be fine. There was still the world to save, and so Mike Johnathan and Argyle went off to do whatever they were doing, while Will stayed by your side in the Hospital. You were going to be fine, you just needed rest and time to heal. Will had never been so relieved.

He was sitting in the chair beside yours, you had been asleep and he was busy reading some sci fi comic he had found in the waiting room. When you woke up you rolled your head to the side and smiled.

“Hey loser.” You chuckled as he whipped his head up and smiled at you, he jumped and gave you a tight hug, quickly moving away after you let out a pained ‘Ouch!’, slightly forgetting the reason you were here.

“I was so worried. You can’t do that to me again Y/N I cant lose my best friend.” He stood over you, you gave him a smile and took his hand.

“Of course I won’t. Who else is going to document the wildlife of Hawkins for you while you're in california?” He chuckled and leant down to give you another hug, this time being wary of your shoulder.

Editor's note: This story has been updated. It contains descriptions of violence against a nonbinary person.

Nex Benedict, a nonbinary high school sophomore died on February 8, the day after reportedly being beaten by classmates in the bathroom of their high school in Owasso, Oklahoma.

An anonymous source who identified herself as a friend of Benedict’s mother told local news outlet KJRH that the 16-year-old was attacked by three older classmates on February 7, adding that she believed Benedict died from “complications from brain trauma.” The source claimed that although Benedict couldn’t walk to the nurse on their own following the incident, school staff did not call an ambulance. According to KJRH, Benedict’s grandmother brought the student to the hospital after the altercation.

"I know at one point, one of the girls was pretty much repeatedly beating [their] head across the floor," the source told KJRH.

The Owasso Police Department (OPD) told KJRH that they were called to Bailey Medical Center on the afternoon of February 7. When they arrived, Benedict’s parents told police their child had been involved in a fight at school. OPD provided a statement saying that the cause of death has not yet been made public.

Since Benedict’s death on February 8, they have been repeatedly misgendered and deadnamed in media reports.

“As many are learning of the horrific news out of Owasso, OK, many news outlets, and therefore, many of you, are using their dead name,” the official X account for Oklahoma County Democrats wrote in a February 19 post. “Their name is Nex Benedict. They were a 4.0 student. They liked cats. They deserved to live. May they find peace now.”

Benedict’s grandmother, Sue Benedict, told The Independent that other students started bullying Nex at the beginning of the 2023 school year. The Independent notes that the 2023 school year started just four months which was a few months after a bill requiring public school students to use bathrooms that matched the sex on their birth certificates became law.

The LGBTQ+ advocacy group Freedom Oklahoma, as well as numerous progressive and LGBTQ+ media outlets (such as the Los Angeles Blade, Daily Kos, and LGBTQ Nation) pointed out that Benedict’s death comes as Oklahoma’s head education official, state superintendent Ryan Walters, continues to embrace anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and policy. In January, Walters pushed an emergency rule to prevent students from changing the gender listed on their school records. Last month, he also appointed Chaya Raichik, the woman behind the virulently anti-LGBTQ+ platform Libs of TikTok, to the Oklahoma State Department of Education’s advisory council overseeing the state’s school libraries, despite Raichik not even living in Oklahoma. Last year, a Tulsa elementary school received a bomb threat after Raichik shared a video with the name and school of a local librarian. In 2022, Raichik similarly targeted a teacher in Benedict’s school district for openly supporting LGBTQ+ students who weren’t accepted by their families. The teacher later resigned following harassment.

Freedom Oklahoma remembered Benedict in a February 19 social media post, writing, “We wanted to reach out to our community grappling with this horrific harm, and the grief we all share as we reflect on the growing anti-2SLGBTQ+ sentiments out youngest community members are facing more often, fueled by state law and the rhetoric around it, words and actions of our state elected officials, and the growing platforms those in power are giving to people like Chaya Raichik who continues to use her platform in a way that leads others to threaten real harm at Oklahoma kids.”

In the post, Freedom Oklahoma also shared memories of Benedict from people who knew them. They described the 16-year-old as an unfailingly kind person who “always searched for the best in people.” Benedict, who The Independent reported, is of Choctaw ancestry, is described as a lover of rock music, who often bonded with others over headbanging. A post from Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents says that Benedict loved The Walking Dead, playing ARK and Minecraft, drawing, and reading. During the funeral, their family said they loved to cook and would often make up their own recipes. Nex was also a straight-A student.

A previous version of this story said that Nex was a member of the Cherokee nation. They were of Choctaw ancestry. We regret the error.

The End of the Road: Winnifred Armstrong

24 / biromantic asexual / Agender (she/they mostly) - Her family calls her Winnie, her friends call her Fred.

A farm girl who grew up in a little rural community that's become stifling. She eeked out her degree from the community college while working retail at the local Walmart with the annoying people from her high school. Armed with a diploma and four summers worth of savings, she's trying to get away from her crazy family and this dead end town where everyone knows her name and everyone's asking what she's making of her life. She doesn't know yet but she'll figure it out somewhere that's not here.

The sunshine half of the grumpy X sunshine dynamic, only the friendly personality is a defense mechanism of living in a small town where if you act up, word gets around quick and you can't sully your family's good name because everyone knows the Armstrongs. Also working retail. They have a killer customer service "karen from church cornered me at the library" voice but underneath the learned and practiced hospitality is just simmering rage.

In this world, witnessing a traumatic death can leave a person Haunted with the ability to see ghosts. It's been almost a decade since her high school best friend committed suicide, but Winnie never got over the grief and regret. She spends a lot of time hanging around the graveyard - as close to goth as you can get without wearing all black. She didn't think he'd make it this far, but now they're facing the rest of their life and wondering "What the hell am I supposed to do now?"

She has a couple close friends who never went to college, and they fuck off into the woods together on weekends to camp, fish, collect bones for art projects, and generally shoot the shit. They're all excited that she's getting out, but Fred won't admit he's terrified of leaving behind everything familiar, and doesn't want to betray them by going away.

1899 modern village AU thoughts because I want to:

Elliot is alive and recovering from a serious illness that nearly destroyed the family and became the catalyst for Maura breaking free from not just Henry but Ciaran. Basically Ciaran brought the worst of Maura out during the hospitalization process and it broke their relationship. 

Maura and Daniel decided as a unit to move far away and start fresh. They both got lecturing jobs at an up-and coming university on the coast, and went house hunting in the neighbouring villages. They fell in love with a cottage in a tiny fishing town and bought it.

The town is called Kerberos. Its official population is a little under 2,000. Their main source of employment is the fishing industry, with a predominant French research group and a small fishing company run by migrated Germans. There’s a dominating immigrant population in town due to the fishing jobs, mostly from Germany but also Denmark, Hong Kong, Spain, Poland and more.

Maura and Daniel work at Prometheus University. Maura takes a break from experiments in favour of teaching neuroscience, but soon enough she gets into research again and works on projects with her colleagues. 

Daniel works with computer science and insists that all of his students enroll in one ethics-themed subject.

There aren’t enough kids in town for there to be a school, so Elliot has to commute to an elementary in a nearby town. There’s a school bus that ends up collecting him and Ada every morning and drops them off every afternoon.

The Franklin-Solace family (no way Maura kept the Singleton name), live side by side with Eyk, who’s in charge of the largest (and only) fishing company in town. He’s in therapy and recovery after the aftermath of a tragic family incident, and bonds quickly with his neighbours. Maura and him talk a lot about loss. He’s on endearing grunt-terms with Daniel. Elliot thinks he’s a bit weird, but likes asking him about nautical facts and showing him pictures of bugs.

Ada’s family owns a pub that they’ve styled in their home country fashion. Iben is a strict matriarch and both of the older children work at the pub at least part time. Tove has complete control over the German fishers (often pretending to cut off Franz) while Krester is a little clumsy with orders. 

A lot of the fishers live in a larger apartment block or in smaller groups in smaller houses. Franz, Wilhelm and Eugen live together, while Olek bunks with Darrel and Landon, as well as Jérôme when he moves to town.

Jérôme works on the French side of the docks and applied to get transferred over because he has a bone to pick with Lucien. Him and Clémence grow close quickly, and frankly the French trio becomes a mess on all sides and directions.

Lucien scammed his way into becoming the top representative for the French research team, but the real leader on this side is Virginia Wilson, who is also the town’s collector of gossip. She knows everything about everyone and cannot stand being left in the dark.

Ling Yi and Yuk Je moved to town a couple of years ago when Yuk Je got a managerial job for the docks. Ling Yi is enrolled to Prometheus and decides to take Maura’s class out of curiosity. She often spends hours at the campus library reading syllabus next to Olek, who is taking computer science part-time alongside his job on the docks.

Olek and Krester both take computer science, but Krester is on full-time. Krester also gets into an affair with a Spanish art history lecturer, which gets super awkward when said lecturer takes his Portuguese boyfriend for lunch at Krester’s family restaurant.

When Sebastian comes back from sea, Maura and Daniel tense up because they recognize him as a former colleague at Henry Singleton’s company. They might never get along, but the three get used to living in the same town.

Clémence joined Lucien when he was moved to Kerberos but doesn’t really have much to do so she tries to make projects for herself. She befriends Tove and starts taking random classes at Prometheus in search of a passion.

Ramiro has an explosive on-again-off-again relationship with Ángel and picks up work at the German docks to get some space. He also finds a weird companionship by discussing religion with Anker at the pub.

The amount of cultural exchange and multilingual antics in town is hilarious. The pub has Danish titles for their meals. The Germans sing sea shanties on late nights there and teach them to Tove. Daniel and Elliot gossip in Welsh when they don’t want anyone else to understand. Ling Yi and Olek are learning each other’s birth languages behind each other’s backs as a surprise. Ángel tries to convince Krester to get boquerones on the menu. As one of her antics, Clémence organizes a French New Wave screening festival. Virginia insists on trying to make the national holidays of every represented country in town official days off in Kerberos.

Eyk tries to take the kids fishing once, but Elliot finds the other fishermen scary and prefers the look of shellfish anyway. 

Ada steals Maura’s research notes while she’s eating dinner at the pub once and begs to be taken under her wing immediately.

Maura and Daniel have a fascination with late 60′s-early 70s music and style, which is reflected in the interior of their new home. There are a lot of jokes at the expense of their wallpaper.

Maura and Daniel have lunch together every day on campus and become the it-couple for students who are craving gossip out of boredom and procrastination. One time Eyk visits and sits down for lunch with Maura alone, causing all of the students to theorize that there’s a split or a love triangle. When he visits again and Daniel joins them for lunch, some of the same students jump from being ‘team Solace’ or ‘team Captain’ to shipping them as a trio. Daniel’s the first to find out because Olek snitches, and he laughs so hard he loses his breath.

[backtotheo]

(joe keery, he/him/his, cismale) who is theo clark anyways? ew. you don’t know about him, we’ll bet you want to. they’re feeling thirty and singing karaoke feels like a perfect night to them. rumor has it they’re indecisive and have low self-esteem because they care, but they’re also intelligent and adaptable in the best way. he works to make a little money as an employee at the animal shelter (...but he also walks dogs on rover on the side). they’ve rented on a place on cornelia street in the form of an an apartment. back to december and long live are the song they could dance to the beat of forevermore. (tw: cancer, about 3/4's of the way into the "backstory" section here!)

basics.

full name: theodore james clark. nicknames: honestly? most people just call him theo, though teddy is a family nickname he'd probably still respond to. gender/pronouns: cismale/he/him/his. sexual orientation: extremely bisexual. birthday: july 22nd. star sign: cancer. cancers are known to be highly intuitive, sensitive...and insecure. occupation: proud employee of the animal care center of new york...and he walks dogs for rover on the side.

personality.

positive traits: intelligent, adaptable, caring, honest, empathetic. negative traits: realistic pessimistic, indecisive, blunt, sensitive…but like not talking about those feelings ever?,  low self esteem while being self-centered. hogwarts house: i know jrk sucks and we do not claim her but the man is a hufflepuff…but a burned one. alignment: chaotic neutral. ennegram: 4w5. personality type: infj. 

backstory.

his childhood was normal. happy, even. except for the part where his parents never let him have a dog because they were 'too busy' for one.

because his parents both had pretty demanding jobs, he was put in a ton of after school activities, but he kind of sucked at sports. so he joined boy scouts and took a bunch of different music lessons. he's pretty decent at guitar and piano and can fake his way through some accordion in a pinch.

theo is the oldest of three and was the child his parents placed their hopes on. his mother is a well-known pediatric oncologist at pittsburgh children's hospital and his father teaches biology at carnegie mellon. everyone assumed that theo would follow in their footsteps. and he did...sort of

he studied biology even though it wasn't really his thing because he wasn't paying for college, his parents were...and he minored in both music theory and psychology, which he liked more.

he met one of he most important people in his life while attending duquesne university in caroline davis.

...they didn't hit it off right away. in fact, at first, she was a bit of a thorn in his side. but a little bonding over a mutual love of music (and the food trucks on campus...) and they clicked. he asked her out around homecoming that first year and the rest is history.

they dated for years. it was very serious. he was two weeks away from buying a ring, honestly. but they spent a really big chunk of their relationship long-distance and it was just...hard. he really fucking loves loved her. but you know what they say...if you love it, let it go. or whatever.

during college, he made spending money at a work study job at the school library, but he made more walking dogs so he quit the work study job and started pet-sitting and dog walking most evenings.

this is where his love of animals began and only started to grow the more he spent times with classmates' and neighbors' pets. he decided to apply to vet school instead of med school, much to his mom's chagrin.

he got in!

...and he dropped out 2 semesters in because he hated it.

theo kept up a pretty big lie for the better part of a year, working odd jobs around pittsburgh and maintaining his off-campus apartment and dodging his parents' questions...until his dad was a guest lecturer to one of his vet school classes and he was nowhere to be found.

his parents gave him two choices: go back to vet school or go back to college and get a degree he would use.

theo chose neither. he packed up his shit, hopped on a bus, and moved to new york city with a collection of cassette tapes, a duffel bag of clothes, and whatever was left in his bank account to his name.

his parents didn't exactly disown him during this period, but they didn't reach out. he found out his mom was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer about 2 months after his move...and she'd been diagnosed a month prior. he heard it from one of his siblings and tried to reach out, but didn't get a response.

she passed away eight months after her diagnosis. he never got a chance to make amends and it's one of his biggest regrets.

he has since reconciled with his dad, but that's something that just..you don't just get over that. he's struggled with it mightily and with the help of a good therapist, he's starting to forgive himself. some.

he intended on reconnecting with caroline when he got there but...well, that didn't turn out so well.

so he couch surfed for a while until he could accept the first non-sketchy craigslist roommate ad he could find and moved into his cornelia street apartment.

he's not sure what he wants to do, really, so he's worked a lot of odd jobs since moving to the city. he's worked at almost every starbucks in an eight block radius of his apartment, bartended for a while, tried his hand working a food truck...but nothing seemed to stick. he paid rent by ubereats-ing most months, until he started walking neighbors' dogs and found something he kind-of-doesn't-hate.

during this in-between time is when he sort of got back into music. one job, he played piano in a restaurant's main dining room. another was a bar where he sweet talked his way into a few gigs. probably ended up meeting the rest of the electric touch crew during this period!

now he's working at the animal shelter, walking dogs using rover, and playing some gigs on the side. thank god for dogs and music.

plots n' stuff.

a roommate. or a few? i could see him having a few to keep costs low and i didn't snag any of the premade skellies for this so if you're down i'm down

found family/besties. i love those vibes especially given he's essentially upped and move away from home knowing like 2 people in the entire city.

people with dogs. either people whose dogs he walks or neighbors who happen to have them. he's like a dog whisperer so if you need a pet sitter he's your guy.

or! shelter volunteers!!!

people from any and all odd job he used to have. like a regular at the coffee shop who can't get their order right now because he left or a co-worker who helped him create a sandwich that's still on a menu at a local restaurant?

random hookups would be an option tbh. he came to new york intending to, like, win back his ex in some kind of rom-com bullshit way, but...well, it hasn't worked out so far.

someone who thought their hookup was more serious than it was would be kind of funny too. we live for miscommunications.

would love some kind of enemies/animosity plot. we'd have to talk it through. could've started with something little and spiraled or maybe they're just besties with caroline and are on her side. or maybe he accidentally ran over your muse's dog's tail on his bike :/

i'm dani. 32. friendly, promise! and i'm open to plotting pretty much anything, honestly! DM's here or on discord are always open to figure some stuff out. i'm danisaurus. over on discord and i'm really looking forward to writing with you all!

#cornelia.intro #//hi i'm dani and i never learned to shut the fuck up #//excited to write with you! some plots are towards the end but i'm very flexible i promise #//also thanks to alyssa for this pretty graphic bc i'm useless at that sorta thing <333

[toon-kirby]

(apologies for potentially double-posting)

any headcanons pertaining to the first gen trio and the way they parent their sons?

Alright, I finally got this done... because I did all the first gen parents! Surprise!

Siggy/Dee - Deirdre, having grown up in the woods, ended up opting for a very natural parenting style. Organic and home grown foods, minimal/reused plastic, lots of outdoor time, etc. Sigurd makes enough money for that kind of lifestyle, though Deirdre knows how to do it on a budget. She's not extreme about it, though. Sigurd's introduced her to lots of cool things she didn't have growing up (like video games that aren't hand me downs from people at church). With his encouragement, she's also working on her degree at the local college. Not sure what she's going for, but probably something Earth Science related. Deirdre tries to schedule her classes while Seliph is at school, but when she can't, she has Oifey babysit him.

Quan/Ethlyn - Quan is very into good grades, so both Leif and Altena are in tutoring and private school. They're also both in sports as soon as they're old enough. Altena is really good at soccer, and by goodness does Quan make sure to brag about it to Travant. Ethlyn isn't very happy about this. Travant's a widower, he doesn't need someone bullying him! Quan just needs to let this stupid rivalry go. Plus, Altena seems to be friends with Arion! Quan shouldn't ruin that!

Eldie/Granhye - Very classy parents. I mean, it's Eldigan and Granhye. Ares began music lessons at a very young age, just like his father. These paid off, though not in the way anyone expected. Ares ended up being into punk and metal music rather than classical. Instead of getting mad, Eldigan and Granhye decided to embrace it (granted Ares keeps his grades and behevior good). His electric bass is his favorite present ever. He nicknamed it Missiletainn.

Midir/Edain - Edain found out early on that she really liked to read books to her kids. She ended up volunteering at the local library to read more books, and that's how the little Tirnanog friend group came to be. She and Midir take turns staying at home since neither of them have a standard monday-friday schedule. They make sure to spend a lot of time together when they're both off. Family board game nights are a regular occurence in their house.

Lex/Ayra - The sporty parents. As soon as Larcei and Schatach were old enough they enrolled them in soccer. Then came martial arts, swimming, you name it. The kids' diet probably consists of Issachian home cooking, granola bars, and gatorade. Shannan has stepped in multiple times to babysit or get the kids to practice. He's the super cool older cousin, after all!

Azelle/Tailtiu - Super nerdy parents. I'm talking DND and cosplay type nerdy. Tine was born premature, so they spent a lot of time in the hospital. The nurses absolutely adored Arthur. They were all so happy when he started to walk and say his first words. Hilda, however, was jealous of all the attention Tailitu and Tine got when they finally came home.

Finn/Lachesis - I think your headcanons about Finn and Lachesis being Malewife and Girlboss are pretty spot on. Lachesis has some sort of high ranking office job, while Finn stays at home. Diarmuid sometimes spends time with Beowulf (his bio dad), but lives with Finn and Lach. Beo's very chill about the entire thing and even gives Nanna gifts for her birthday and christmas. (Slightly off topic, but in an AU where all the games exist at the same time, I can see Finn being really good friends with Dedue since they're so similar. I mean, their leiges are even both voiced by Chris Hackney!)

Alec/Sylvia - I actually headcanon Lene and Coirpre to have different fathers in canon, as Coirpre was young enough to get the attention of the cult and that wouldn't be possible if Coirpre was born pre-Belhalla (though he does have severe baby face). Anyways, since this is a modern au with no cults or political scheming (hopefully), I'll go with them both being Alec's kid. Neither Alec nor Sylvia ended up with a high paying job, so money was tight. Then Alec got a job under Hannibal. He became close to the family and agreed to become the children's godfather. He likes to spoil the kids since he could never have any kids of his own. I'm thinking of Uncle Drosselmeyer from the Nutcracker from some reason. Speaking of Ballet, Lene's lessons are free since Sylvia works at the studio. Coirpre… well I'll be honest, I don't know what he'd be doing.

Lewyn/Erinys - Not a day goes by where these two can't figure out how Ced ended up being a straight a student. Erinys was a good student, but she wasn't super into it. And Lewyn… well, Lewyn is Lewyn. Fee ended up more free-spirited and laid back like her dad, though to a more responsible degree. She credits this to having her dad's love for life mixed with her mom's responsibility.

Jamke/Brigid - Somewhere inbetween Ayra/Lex and Edain/Midir on the parenting style spectrum. Patty ended up really enjoying gymnastics, so they kept her enrolled in it. She also took up magic tricks, including (to Jamke and Brigid's dismay) lock picking. Super cool cousin Dew totally didn't teach her that. Febail took up archery like his father.

#fe4 #apologies for the wait!

[subarus-gentle-butterfly]

what r miu’s relationships with all the sakamakis :0 ?

I actually have a post about her relationships with canon characters here! But it's a bit outdated, so I'll add some more about it in this ask.

SHU SAKAMAKI AND MIU

I had actually planned on Miu and shu being together instead of subaru and Miu at one point. But that was such a lie. Anyways.

In canon:

Miu wants to see him as an older brother. She kind of likes that he's low maintenance, fairly lazy and keeps to himself.

When instructed to or really just whenever she goes around his areas of the house, she'll tidy up after him.

She likes to talk music with him every now and then, and she finds it a little entertaining to see and hear his reactions to certain more modern songs that aren't classical.

Shu is one of the only other Sakamaki boys who she can find comfort in. Shu is just pretty chill. She's just glad he isn't always chasing after her like the triplets or moving her things around. She has some respect for him because of it.

REIJI SAKAMAKI AND MIU

Miu and Reiji are actually in my plans as a side ship.

In canon:

Reiji was the one who made the ultimate decision that she could stay at the mansion when she first arrived. Because of that, she has a not-very-correct view of him being a very kind and hospitable person. Of course, the Reiji that we know from the games is not so kind as Miu thinks.

Because he allowed her to stay, she's kind of put him on a pedestal. She feels like she deeply owes him and is quick to answer to his requests and commands. Of course, she's not doing everything. Subaru is quite possessive.

She often does a lot of the chores around the house because of Reiji asking her to do them.

He thinks she has lousy manners, but there was always improvement to come.

He will chastise her for forgetting to knock before entering his lab or room or leaving something out that should be put away or the way that she eats sometimes.

Miu takes fascination in his library and his knowledge. She often asks him about books and if she can borrow any. If he allows her to borrow one, she takes upmost care not to damage said book in the slightest. She treasures it.

Sometimes he reminds her about her dad, but not in a triggering way.... for the most part. His scoldings sometimes leave her with a bad feeling that happens to be too familiar for her liking... at least this man doesn't hurt her in the same ways.

I headcanon that Reiji pities her for having so many scars, and thinks her "addiction" is kind of stupid.

I also think after a while of her staying with the 6 brothers, that he would grow to think of her more positively and maybe he would be open to the idea of seeing her as a little sibling. Of course, that's a giant maybe.

AYATO SAKAMAKI AND MIU

Ayato and Miu don't entirely get along. But in certain verses/aus, they are able to.

In canon:

Miu is lowkey(read: highkey) afraid of him. He's like those mean popular guys in novels that are total jerks to her.

He teases her all the time, like taking her things and hiding them around the mansion, ripping up papers she's worked on just for the fun of it, and of course calling her names. He' a total bully.

She doesn't think she would ever be able to be friends with this guy or even see him as a brother at this point.

Some of the things Ayato has said have been a bit cruel and sometimes they hit too close to home. She doesn't like it one bit. Especially with how cocky he is.

She does secretly take pride in how much smarter she is than him academically. Bro's grades are atrocious compared to Miu's, and she had the most absences of her age group. She missed a lot of school because of her home life, yet she's always been quick to learn. She doesn't think she's better than him in general, but she does think she's a bit smarter at the very least.

She honestly thinks Ayato might be the worst of the triplets. But deep down, she does want to have a better relationship with him. At his core, he doesn't seem like a bad person. He just annoys her so often that it's hard for her to remember that he's really not too different from her and that he's not entirely bad.

LAITO SAKAMAKI AND MIU

Not a lot to say here tbh.

In canon:

Miu doesn't entirely feel safe or comfortable around him. Nothing against him, he just has some sort of vibe to him that she doesn't like.

He's made comments about her in passing and has called her inappropriate names before that she very much disliked and she thinks he's just a bit too much.

She hates how easily he can make her feel small and like a piece of meat with just one look or "joke". A lot of his lewd comments are either completely lost on her or they get her so uncomfortably flustered that most of the time, she just tries to ignore him.

She really wishes she didn't judge him so much, because again, this is her found family and she wants to see the boys as older brothers, but in the beginning she's not very well liked.

But she thinks Laito plays too much, and she hates being alone with him. It's just a vibe she gets from him that can sometimes end up making her nauseous.

Later on, she grows to love him as a brother and think some of his jokes would be funny, but that's about it.

KANATO SAKAMAKI AND MIU

Kanato is kind of a hit or miss just in general. One wrong move and then you're probably dead before you know it.

Miu enjoys sweets and likes stuffed toys. She's glad one of these boys has similar tastes. However, she is lowkey terrified of him because of his hot and cold nature. And how easily his mood can change for the worse.

She feels like she has to be careful around him all the time. She does her best to stay on his good side. She can't predict anything about him, so she's almost always a little on edge around him.

She does her best to cook sweets for him, but she's not the best cook. Normally, she can do very well just by following a recipe, but when she messes up, she almost has a breakdown just thinking of what Kanato might do to her.

Because of this, she takes her time when cooking and triple-checks everything before proceeding.

She knows how to sew and often comes up with little clothes for Teddy that are not always appreciated, but she tries to be as friendly as possible. Mostly because she wants Kanato to like her.

She has heard some cruel things from him before about her scars, though. So whenever she's around him, she makes extra effort not to show any of them to him by accident.

She wants him to like her at least. That's for sure. She thinks he's cute, and she can tolerate him very well. She does her best to show him support when she can and tries to at least act as some kind of friend, even when it's not very easy.

WHO IS THIS HARMONY? LET'S FIND OUT!! 💗🌈💢👁️🌌👪📎📎

ALRIGHT TIME TO BECOME AND UNSKIPPABLE CUTSCENE First off, if you'd like to learn about Harmony, here's her character sheet That said I've updated it uhhhhhh a lot since so just dm me if you want the link to the actual doc

NOW. AHEM.

💗 GROWING HEART - if they have a crush, is it noticeable? what changes when they're in love?

Harmony falls in love easily and often. She finds it very hard to hide her affection, and generally confesses pretty fast. She presently has a wife, Olivia, a girlfriend, Ekaterina, and a boyfriend, Elliot, and she usually feels warmest and safest when she's with them.

🌈 RAINBOW - what advice would they give to their younger self?

The funny answer is "Don't date that guy" to avoid the whole sitch with her ex-boyfriend. Her real answer would probably be "Go home from school early on September 17th, 2008" in a misguided attempt to prevent her mother's death, the trauma of which has shaped her later childhood and much of her adult life.

💢 ANGER - what are some habits they have that will take some getting used to?

Her consensualism, probably. She is fanatically consensualist, and is very judgemental toward anyone who feeds without consent. If she catches you alleycatting, she will probably try to convert you to consensualism. She did this to her wife (originally a bagger) before they were married.

👁️ EYE - what colour are their eyes? do people notice their eyes? is there anything special about them (shows emotion easily, literally magical...)?

Harmony's eyes are a very dark grey, and sometimes look like they're black.

🌌 MILKY WAY - what was the inspiration behind your oc? what was the first thing you decided about them?

Harmony was my first VTM character. She was initially heavily inspired by Silas Reed, from LoadingReadyRun's Actual Play Not A Drop To Drink: Vancouver Island By Night, which was one of my first exposures to WoD. The idea was to create a diplomatic Kindred that stood at the crux between Anarch and Camarilla, the sort of person that would be called on to mediate talks between sects; as I developed her more, she ended up choosing violence, and her focus on her consensualism became much more important.

👪 FAMILY - what is their family like? what is your ocs relationship to them? does your oc have any siblings?

EXTENDED. She has: Her wife, Olivia, whose sire they killed together (The couple that slays together stays together, yknow); Her sire (and girlfriend) Ekaterina/Katherine; Her mortal stepdad, Keith; Her mortal sister, Melody, who is also a mage (Discovering this was a funny scene); Her grandsire, Ceridwen, whom she idolizes; and her older blood sibling, Cayetano, whom she has a... complicated relationship with. She is intensely loyal to her family (except Cayetano) and will do anything for them.

📎PAPERCLIP - a random fact. (x2!)

1) Harmony is an antiquarian and book conservationist by trade. She specializes in commission work for preserving personal artifacts, and in work for Kindred libraries- if your Book of Nod is falling apart and you need it repaired or a facsimile made, she's your girl!

2) Harmony has a plushie named Baffie (short for Baphomet) which her sister gave to her while she was in the hospital when she was 15 (it's a long story that even her character sheet doesn't really get into). Baffie is a brown vampire bat with little fangs- ironically, her sister's special interest is vampires, ever since she was a kid, so much so that she's writing her undergrad thesis on Dracula. Finding out that vampires were real was an experience for her. Finding out that her sister was one had her apoplectic.
