Maria’s bag was beside her on the bench. She glanced up at Shea, who was standing by the light pole. His hand was fidgeting.

“So what did you want to talk about?” She tilted her head. “We need to break up.”

“Well that was abrupt,” she murmured, then snapping to attention, “Wait, no, hold on. What the hell? Are you serious?”

Maria stood up, staring at him. Shea’s expression didn’t shift.

“Why?” She asks.

“Well, ah.. my parents thought—“

“Your parents?” The disbelief that coursed through her head in that instance.

Shea grimaced.

“Oh, did you talk to your parents and they just told you to break up with me? And you’d do so because oooh you’re just a goody two shoes? I’ve met your parents. They love me. Why the hell are they changing their minds?!” Maria would not dare to cry right now, so the next best option was yelling.

“Maria,” Shea said.

“No. Shut up.” Maria grabbed her bag and walked off. She hurried along down the side walk, eventually getting inside her house. She threw her sneakers to the floor and ran up to her room.

Maria climbed onto her bed, immediately a rainstorm of tears following. She hugged onto the pillow beside her, squeezing it so hard that she’d imagine it would suffocate if it were alive. Her grip loosens as she lets it gain air again. Maria paced her breath with how long the pillow took.

Her phone then buzzed on her nightstand. A text from Irene.

Irene <3! : [hey howd it go ??]

Maria typed back.

[Shitty. He broke up with me :( ]

Irene <3! : [what the fuck???? why???]

[idk he mentioned his parents and then I just left. Called him a goody two shoes.]

Irene <3! : [you’ve met his parents tho????????? If they didn’t like you why would they wait?]

Irene <3! : [do you think it’s because of when you both were at the school event?]

[what do you mean?]

Irene <3! : [you and your family were there and so was his and your dad kept exchanging looks with his other parent. I dunno.]

[which one]

Irene <3! : [dyed hair. Did he have any history with Alab Cruz?]

[I’ll have to ask I guess]

Irene <3! : [oh also did you get your schedule???]

[yeah. I still don’t know why they have this stupid study hall homeroom revamp thing. Just call it study hall or something.]

Irene <3! : [who did you get for that. I have Klein.]

[same]

Irene <3! : [heyyy that’s a good thing]

[im pretty sure that Sylvia has it as well]

Irene <3! : [oh that’s cool. I don’t really talk to her that much but yeah]

[me neither. Except for like when my dad invites her family over for holidays or something.]

Irene <3! : [same with my mom. Not really holidays though. Just.. random dinners. It’s kind of awkward with the thing from last year.]

[Huh?]

Irene <3! : [don’t worry about it. Oh. My dad’s calling me down to head to dance. See ya. And don’t worry about Shea, his heart only belongs to being a boyscout or something. I’ll be back later]

Maria groaned at the thought of not talking to anyone, but she’d have to do something to keep her mind off Shea. She pulled out a bottle of paint and a paintbrush, preparing her work area, and putting her headphones on.

And for the next few hours, she painted until her dad called her to dinner.

It was now officially the last day of break.

[flickerfankids]

Yeah I think when I continue this, I’ll keep it more as written with occasional drawings in a few posts.

making a comic was awkward and clunky and other people did it better

I will plan to continue this though don’t worry 🫶 (not that anyone was worried or cared but I rest my case)

[flickerfankids]

Already said Mother’s Day so happy Father’s Day!! (Sort of blog relevant)

[flickerfankids]

Putting comic thing on hold bc someone else (someone that I know and am on good terms with so I know there are no hard feelings) made a flicker comic thing and even though we each have different things I feel like people are gonna think I’m copying and I just wanna wait a bit before I continue haha I know nobody’s gonna think that but I just overthink

[flickerfankids]

[flickerfankids]

[flickerfankids]

[flickerfankids]

[flickerfankids]

Random fun fact!

Sylvia and Owen both very much have a love for the movie Mean Girls. It’s a huge comfort for them.

[flickerfankids]

fixed the info page!!

[flickerfankids]

Relationship chart

(if it looks bad it is bc i remade it on a bus bc the last one didn’t have Ana and Leo on it)

Let’s get the rundown

Enemies

Irene and Halley hate each other. Enough said. Maria and Shea also hate each other but not exactly hate. I put them under three different ones because they are exes and their whole thing and all that.

Dislike

Jamie has a huge dislike for October. Undeserved tbh. Irene also dislikes Shea bc she blames him.

Neutral

this one would have taken too much space if I did every neutral so assume everyone else for now is neutral. I only made neutral the reactions to the twos dislikes.

Friends

Ethan, Shea, and Melati are friends.

Leo, Ana, and Naomi are friends. (They’re in a band together)

Irene and Jamie are friends.

Anika and Ana are friends.

Wren and October are friends.

Repetitive I know.

Best Friends

Naomi and October are best friends!

Owen, Wren, Sylvia, and Jamie are all a really close knit friend group

Irene and Maria are best friends and have been since they were younger

Castor and Halley are best friends which kind of is a part of being a twin but yeah

Crush

yeah Shea and Maria are on this one too.

Castor likes Owen and thinks he’s out of his league, but Owen honestly likes him back.

Sylvia and Jamie will they won’t they Hell that’s lasted since like 5th grade

Irene and Melati are so silly. Someone’s gonna tell the waiter that she didn’t order pickles and it’s not going to be Melati

Ethan honestly really likes Wren, but has no fucking clue how to approach them bc of how spontaneous they are.

Etc.

Leo, Ana, and Naomi are in a band

Halley and Castor are twins (I thought I put them as the crush color for a second and panicked and almost threw up)

below is a brief description of each character: (to be added)

Maria (She/Her) is a very ambitious and passionate artist. Her chosen media is painting, whether in liquid or spray form. She aspires to paint murals all over her city someday. Maria also has a pet praying mantis she named Rocket. She’s also bisexual.

Shea (He/Him) is more quiet. He’s very by the rules at some points and tries to be polite. He enjoyed doing Scouts and often tries to apply those skills to conversation. Shea also loves to help his mom bake. He has a rat named Strudel (which his parents adopted.) He is asexual but heteroromantic

Irene (She/They) is a very loud and brass person at times. She and Maria’s personalities just amplify each other. The two had been best friends since elementary. They are the kind of person who’d immediately yell at and fight anyone that you say was mean, even with not knowing them. She enjoys dancing. Irene is a demisexual demigirl.

Melati (she/her) is a kind girl with strange interests. She adores the dark and mysterious and writes stories about it. Once you ask her about it, she’ll never stop. Melati hopes to write popular best sellers of her ideas someday. She always is practicing her knowing smile to prepare for that photo. Melati is a lesbian.

October (he/him) is very introverted. He doesn’t really talk to a lot of people but he’s respectful. A lot of people are put off by his very distant attitude but if you warm up to him, you find he’s really caring. He is generally aroace. October enjoys walking around more by hiking and going trapshooting with the school’s team.

Wren (They/Them) is a wildcard. Generally impulsively doing things that are either a threat to themself or to others (like trying to pet a raccoon.) hence the various bandages. They love to do track and took up a hobby of woodworking. They have a cat named Misa and love her so much. Wren is nonbinary and pansexual.

Owen (He/Him) is the calmest out of his friend group between him, Wren, Sylvia, and Jamie, which is sort of like being the tallest dwarf. Usually being the empathetic one to listen and to tell everyone to shut up so Sylvia can speak. Owen enjoys 2000s movies and drafting up designs of all sorts. He’s also a connoisseur of gum. Owen is gay.

Sylvia (She/Her) is very.. non-talkative. She really can. Everyone’s heard her a few times. It’s just that she has moments of not wanting to talk. Her parents had issues growing up and didn’t want her to feel like her wants didn’t matter, so they told her she didn’t ever have to talk if she didn’t want to. Sylvia took this to heart. She spends more time writing poetry and ice skating than talking. Her parents are also friends with Maria and Irene’s parents so sometimes they’ll have her come with. She is bi-curious. (Fun fact: Owen designed her hat)

Jamie (He/Him) is the last member of the friend group. He is fired up most of the time. Jamie has an affinity about baseball. When he’s not playing ball, he’s usually hanging out with the three of them, probably at a restaurant. Probably staring across the table for too long and- Anyway. Jamie is a raging bisexual but has a fem pref.

Halley (She/Her) is sarcastic. Always having to have the last word, she often finds herself fighting with Irene, though they just play it up for entertainment but nobody knows. She and her twin brother are actually new to town so they are trying to settle in. Halley loves astrology partially because it bothers her dad to no end, but she also actually loves learning about astronomy and physics. Halley has a ferret named Dynamite. Halley is unlabeled as of now, so she just tells people she’s straight when they ask.

Castor (He/They) is very much opposite to his sister’s flaming personality. When she’s riling up a crowd, they often just standing by to walk her away and back to class before a teacher gets involved. He loves inventing and experimenting, having a bunch of machinery in his room from his mom’s job. Castor often finds themself a nervous wreck, even more so after realizing he has a crush on their neighbor in the apartment complex he lives in. Castor is bisexual with a masc pref.

Naomi (She/Her) is an upbeat and optimistic ray of sunshine. She enjoys playing her drums and decorating her prosthetic leg with stickers. With one of her parents’ streaming careers helping fund pay for it, she was ecstatic about it. Naomi is part of a band with two other people, Ana and Leo. They’re called Absent July Delta. Naomi is pansexual.

Ethan (He/Him) focuses more about the other people around him than himself. He is often afraid to share his interests, but he’s a huge fan of filmmaking and programming. Ethan is working on a series that he, Melati, and Shea are all in. He’d love to invite Wren to work on it too, he just can’t muster up to ask though. Ethan is demisexual.

Anika (She/He) is a gentle and listening person. She tries his best to help everyone and be there for people. After all, he’s trying to be a therapist in the future. Psychology is one of her biggest interests, alongside dying his hair different colors) Often, he will be sitting in a chair listening to people’s problems while finishing up crocheting. She finds it’s easier to listen while her hands are busy. He is aroace and transfem.

Ana (She/Her) is a “go with the flow” type person. She really finds that anything was meant to happen for a reason. She is the one usually bringing snacks for Leo and Naomi. She’s a guitarist fanatic. Always. Naomi’s family friend even offered to give her lessons. Ana has posters all over her room and was the first one to suggest starting a band. Ana is also Castor and Halley’s cousin, has a border collie named Ruthie, and wears bright green contacts for fun. She is asexual.

Leo (He/Him) finds it interesting to debate people. Doing good is something he’s always an advocate for. Leo cares about the environment and often signs up for roadside cleaning. He also does a lot of performing activities, like singing in the band, which Ana caught him doing once and dragged him into the idea, and doing competitive speech. After a lot of this, he often just curls up on his bed and takes a nap. He is straight as far as he knows.

Basic info!!!

Sooo

— The biology of it all?

honestly this is a very self indulgent fankids au. It isn’t discussed or elaborated on how they reproduce. It’s very vague. Technically mpreg is indirectly implied but like. Just.. pregnancy just never is brought up.

— How old are they?

The whole cast is generally around Junior-Senior Age. Please don’t sexualize them tho. If you’re.. gonna sexualize the characters….. uh.. at least let it be the adults.

— Besides the kids, are there any other characters?

All the parents (see my post on the kids), Ms. Odette (Odette is Irene’s dance instructor), and Mr. Klein (their homeroom teacher)

Please ask if you have any other questions
