Watching The Good Place a second time and I still think Simone Eleanor and Chidi should've been a throuple together.

WHY IS THERE ONLY ONE FIC FOR THAT ON AO3???

[colbridgertons]

Watching season 1 of the good place makes me want to sob about how wonderful Eleanor’s development is and truly how far she has come. 

I love her so much and she has come so far.

I TELL GOOD LIES WHEN THEY ASK ME/BUT I CRIED ALL NIGHT IN THE BACKSEAT/NO ONE KNOWS WHAT I FEEL INSIDE

{ VALENTINA ZENERE, 22, CIS FEMALE, SHE/HER } Is that CHARLOTTE FLETCHER? A SENIOR originally from BOSTON, MASS. they decided to come to Ogden College to study COMPUTER SCIENCE. They’re THE FEMME FATALE on campus, but even they could get blamed for Greer’s disappearance. 

pinterest/spotify

BASICS:

full name: charlotte "charlie" elizabeth fletcher

age: 23

date of birth: oct. 28, 1999

zodiac sign: scorpio

hometown: boston, mass

gender: cis female

sexuality: bisexual

ethnicity: argentine

languages spoken: english, conversational spanish

RELATIONSHIPS:

father: charles fletcher- disconnected, strict, but present. a lawyer of some kind, she doesn't really care what he does. his side of the family is the same, all china cabinets and sofas that aren't meant to sit on. her grandparents are figures of faceless disapproval and foreboding, no more human to her than a gargoyle on a church facade. fc: juan soler

mother: claudia brandt, formerly fletcher, nee morales. she was told once that her grandfather disapproved of the marriage from the start- he thought she was too vivacious, too charming, too in love with their son (charlie thought her grandfather likely thought she was too hispanic- what kind of man changes his surname from fernandez to fletcher anyways?) she walked out when charlie was about four and has reappeared every five to seven years, like a cicada, each time with a new surname and a new hair color. fc: maría botto

siblings: two half-sisters from her mother's most recent marriage. she has never met them and doesn't plan to.

PERSONALITY:

positive qualities: generous, charismatic, supportive, nonjudgemental

negative qualities: apathetic, entitled, condescending

skills: just skating by in school, bringing the party, getting what she wants

character parallels: samantha jones (satc), serena van der woodsen (gossip girl), jackie burkhart (that 70's show), michelle richardson (skins), hailey dunphey (modern family), edie britt (desperate housewives), eleanor shellstrop (the good place)

relationship to greer: many thought that charlie was jealous of greer, and that was probably true in the way all women were jealous of a woman like greer. but that wasn’t it, really- charlie would have never traded her own life for greer’s golden cage. she loved her friend. but something about her dug under charlie’s skin. it could have been the glass-like skin, the goody two-shoes act, the way people looked at charlie’s chest when she talked and greer’s eyes when she did. whatever it was, she often found herself in a bad mood when they were together and would pick apart the smallest things she did. they were famous for their fights, frequently heard screaming at each other through the walls over a boy who had followed them both on instagram or a backhanded comment made two days prior about someone’s shoes. no one incensed her like greer did; the only thing more fun than fighting with her was making up with her.

school activities: volleyball (because her father made her join a sport in high school and she likes the shorts- she plays outside), kappa kappa gamma (for clout and because she looks fantastic in letters), and the robotics society (because she should probably get a job someday and she was told winning a robotics competition looked good to FAANG).

WANTED CONNECTIONS

the rolodex: her reputation is well-earned, and she wouldn't want to fail to live up to it. she's messed around with half of campus. open to any kind of FWB/one night stand/potential relationship connections!!

the chase: i think it would be funny if there was one person she was really into and they wanted nothing to do with her. or maybe the other way around!

the heartbroken: while many of her trysts end with a mutually agreed upon separation (or a separation she makes you think was your idea), inevitably, things get ugly. you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette.

charlie's angels: in greer's absense, charlie sees herself as the obvious answer to replace the power gap. she's hand-selected a few dear friends to join her inner circle.

study buddies: "why doesn't anyone think i'm smart?" she says as she googles "do i need to pay taxes". she is good at what she does though and enjoys programming. would love to have a few other STEM connections so she can elle woods in Intro to Machine Learning.

mom friend: charlie is a wreck herself so when someone's coming to her for advice, shit must be really bad. she's always good for a cigarette and some good, if not always easy to hear, advice.

yuck!: charlie doesn't have a problem catching feelings, she just can't sustain them. so why hasn't she gotten the ick yet from someone she'd thought was just a one night stand?

OTHER HCS:

i think the funniest thing in the world would be someone calling her chuck like i can't get it out of my head. if our muses r close pls call her chuck.

she's a big reader but mainly of books with insane female main characters. huge fan of Boy Parts, A Certain Hunger, My Year of Rest and Relaxation, ect.

she is a cynical optimist. she knows how the world works, knows that everyone (including herself) is only out for themselves, knows that the best way to keep yourself safe is to close yourself off, but that doesn't stop her dreaming of a happy ending.

charlie has her car on campus and is constantly volunteering to chauffeur walmart runs/grocery store trips but you have to listen to her sing along to every song on her driving playlist. for this reason, she's never successfully convinced anyone to go on a road trip with her.

she is not a "clean girl". she is a feral girl. she always has last night's mascara under her eyes and never makes her bed. she pays to have her laundry sent out not really because she's above doing laundry but because she lets it pile up for like 3 weeks at a time and then has no underwear.

really good at Just Dance

she was some kind of senior mentor/orientation leader and she absolutely terrified the freshmen. i think she likes to mentor.

yes, she pulls because she's confident and confidence is sexy, but she also pulls because she's a little goofy.

she does not own a pair of matching pajamas.

her favorite moment in history is stevie nicks making lindsay buckingham sing backup on silver springs. she can only dream to have that much power over a man one day.

she's one of those girls who always thinks she should start a podcast.

[little-murmaider]

Yeah, gimmie a A, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, N, O, P - with a side order of R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y & Z

Oh my GOD dude.

A - Your current OTP(s)/OT3(s)/OTX(s)

Skwistok, Nategaar, Nathan/Skwisgaar/Toki, Pickleface, Polyklok, Abigail/Literally any woman

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will (be nice)

Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Murdertooth. Sorry. 

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t (again: be nice)

I kind of wish I liked Nickles? There’s a lot of great content for it! But I genuinely prefer them as friends. When people say they can’t ship Skwistok because they seem too much like brothers? That’s how I feel about Nickles.  

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom, if so, what

Answered!F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom

Answered!

G - Do you remember your first OTP, if so who was in it

It was either Arnold and Helga from Hey Arnold!, or Link and Zelda (in all LoZ media, but this was specifically Ocarina of Time). They’re both still up there! 

H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., tv shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)

Every fandom I’ve been active in was for a TV show. Pokémon (I played the games but I wrote “stories” about the anime), Jimmy Neutron, Hey Arnold!, Teen Titans, Metalocalypse, How I Met Your Mother, South Park (BOTH OF WHICH I REGRET. FUCK THOSE SHOWS.) I dip a toe into other things cause I’m curious, but I’m unlikely to write fanfic for anything else. I did come VERY close to writing Adventure Zone fic recently but the impulse faded.

I - Has tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why

I’m pretty good at Curating my Tumblr experience and blocking tags for things I dislike or just am uninterested in. Also MTL is the only fandom I’m active in and that one rules. If I see something annoying in another fandom tag I just bounce!

J - Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr

Tumblr is the reason I got into TAZ! And I’m so glad I did, it’s my favorite podcast, I’ve gotten my fiance and some of my very close friends into it as well. Also the actual real name of my wedding dress design is The Aubrey, which is just FATE.

K -Say something nice about someone in any of your fandoms

Answered but also @fasthandfingerwizard​ is such a sweetheart and so kind, and @cthene​ has a fic that’s so good it makes me want to tear my skin off. 

L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves (chars you’re neutral on are fair game, as are chars you dislike)

Answered, but Knubbler makes me laugh.

N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice)

Answered, but more Skwisgaar Content in general!!!!! Just!!!!! Let me see my boy!!!!!!!!

O - Choose a song at random, which ship or character does it remind you of

Answered! I did it again and got Eet by Regina Spektor which reminds me of Toki. I have a lot of Regina songs on my Toki playlist.

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas)

I’ve created so many AUs including one very elaborate one please I’m so tired.

R - A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships

nAtEgAaR. jk jk jk. I tend to latch to pretty popular pairings, and the MTL fandom is pretty diverse in terms of shipping. I guess………..Abigail/Rachel? Only because it’s a pairing I literally made up. 

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

Skwisgaar was raised by wolves.

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending, about anything at all (gender identity, sexual or romantic orientation, extended family, sexual preferences like top/bottom/switch, relationship with poetry, seriously anything)

Skwisgaar is bi because I’m bi. 

U - 5 favorite characters from 5 different fandoms

Skwisgaar Skwigelf - MTL

Eleanor Shellstrop - The Good Place

Aubrey Little - The Adventure Zone

Violet - Monster Pulse

Joyce Brown - Dumbing of Age

V - 3 OTPs from 3 different fandoms

Skwistok - MTL

I’m Eleanor/Tahani - The Good Place

Link/Zelda -LoZ series

W - 5 favorite ships and 5 kinks you like best for said shipsNot comfortable answering this one publically

sorry!

X - top 5-10 characters who are yoUR PRECIOUS BABIES AND YOU WILL DIE DEFENDING THEM

Answered!

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)

Good Omens, Stardew Valley. 

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go (prompts optional but encouraged)

I don’t know man I just love Skwisgaar a lot! And I think he got shafted in the 3rd and 4th seasons and there was a lot of wasted potential for his character, and also Mean is not his only personality trait. He’s goofy! He’s awkward! He’s funny! He likes being included in things! There are a lot of fun directions the show could have gone in for him besides “horny” and “a dick” and “also there” and it was a WASTE.

3 but it’s specifically trauma center and the good place chars you identify with

oh, NICE!

3.  List your fandoms and one character from each that you identify with.

(I did this one before but I’ll add, TC and TGP!)

Trauma Center - I think the one I relate to the most is Markus Vaughn, really. I used to joke about his whole “whoops made a Big Oopsie time to go exile myself in Alaska” thing, but that was 100% how I dealt with failure, by running away. Of course, I definitely admired how he slowly--very slowly and with help--overcame that, it wasn’t magical and it definitely wasn’t easy, but he did it. I think I’ve overcome some of my own fears as well, so here’s to us, Markus. Also he’s fucking great, I love the guy.

The Good Place - Definitely Eleanor Shellstrop, for sure. Similar to Markus in a way, she’s not perfect, not by a longshot. She starts as an asshole, and a bit of a mediocre fuck-up, but she’s worthy of so much. She continues to be funny and a bit too bold sometimes, cause yeah, that’s who she is, but I love that she can find happiness and love as well (and I haven’t caught up yet, but I’m...proud of her, I love her a lot).

Ask me more identity asks!

My Hero PSLE: S3E8 "Xiao Ming, tf is wrong with you"

"It's like, when did Star Wars become all political and anti-fascist?" "1995."

-Eleanor Shellstrop

So Xiao Ming has now been transformed by the Sin of Wrath into some godly being.

Oh Xiao Hua and gang wasn't alone in helping to bring Xiao Ming back. For starters, there was Thunder Hands, and also the commotion and most definitely the Chronicle's death attracted a lot of Chronicles to come too.

And also there were two Inhumans or something who also came to see what the hell was going on-there was a man and a woman. The man looked like he was wearing royalty clothing with a crown of thorns and the woman was wearing ragged clothes like a filthy peasant.

Yep, the man was most definitely the Keeper of the Deadly Sin from the Inhumans.

But eh, who knows, maybe there's a plot twist in the end and the woman is actually the Keeper but whatever.

So then Thunder Hands tried to calm him down: "Wait Izanagi, do-"

PEWPEWPEWEEWPWPWP! Aaaaaannnd then he got shot and died. The end.

Just kidding. He got shot but he didn't die. So the Inhuman guy was like: "You know what? Fuck trying to reason with this guy, I'm going to need the power of another Deadly Sin to take this guy down!"

So he just went over to the Chronicle-Tempest, to be specific, and just took he Sin of Gluttony off her hands.

And then she was like: "Ey, what that for?"

So he just: "Ayaayyaya, I'll give it back to you once I'll dealt with this guy here,"

"Fine lah fine lah, take it lah,"

So he merged the Deadly Sin with his body, and then, empowered by it, he lunged forward at Xiao Ming, charged up his sword with divine Deadly Sin energy, and just like PEWPEWPEW! at the exposed part of the Deadly Sin of Xiao Ming.

But it didn't work lmao. He just got really pissed and then shot at the Inhuman guy so he also got shot.

Then Zhi Hua decided to do something that everyone will rush to document it.

He put down his weapon, rushed forward to Xiao Ming, but instead of attacking him, ya know what he did?

HE FUCKING KISSED HIM. LIKE ON THE LIPS.

And then Xiao Ming was like: *immediately comes back to senses* "WHAT THE FUCK ZHI HUA WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING TO-"

And then he just fell and died.

No lah, just kidding lah, it's Xiao Ming leh, he cannot mati so easily one.

He was like the Patrick guy in Lamb To The Slaughter, after he got hit by the lamb leg, he can still stand for a while, and then he just: *wobble wobble* *lands flat on the floor face down*

But then you know who is the first person to rush to his corpse him?

Again, ZHI FUCKING HUA.

No shit. This man legit gives more fucks to Xiao Ming than to the 5 of his grandparents he unplugged the life support on last week.

He was just like: "NOOOO XIAO MING NOOOO! AHYAYAYYA MUST DO MOUTH-TO-MOUTH AGAIN!

And then before his lips can touch his again, Xiao Ming immediately got up and was like: "Aw hell naw, ain't no way I'm letting that shit happen again!"

Well, in both occasions, a heartfelt kiss saved his life.

And remember back in Season 1 when they were caught by the Grandmaster while sneaking into his office to get documents he also pretended to do mouth-to-mouth.

Actually not pretended leh, they did it for real.

Yeah yeah yeah anyway enough about their intimacy.

The real action was happening. Tempest stole back the Sin of Gluttony, got her hands on the Sin of Wrath, and now is preparing to put on her magic glove.

And then before anyone could react, she rushed forward towards the Inhuman man, and pulled out a Deadly Sin from his stomach.

Oh nevermind I guess he really was the Keeper then, no plot twists.

But this one different sia.

This one like not glowing with the dark energy lidat.

But I guess the Chronicles never realise, cos they collect the corpse of the charred Chronicle, just like left Thunder Hands there and then left.

Weird and rude af people bruh.

But anyway Thunder Hands suddenly ran towards them and then got down on his knees and started crying: "OMG GUYS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAVING ME AHAHHA I L-"

"Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, whatever whatever," Xiao Hua rather impatiently said.

"Now I just have one question, I wanna know why the fuck was his Deadly Sin different from the rest," The Grandmaster asked. Wah observant sia.

"Oh, that," The Inhuman girl said. "Lmao, that's mostly cos it's a fake,"

The wonderful @sherpawhale tagged me in a pick your fav ask game, so here I go. This is gonna be a hard one though. I mean, 1 character? Just 1 for each fandom?

Rules: List ten of your favorite female characters in different fandoms and then tag ten as many people as you want.

So in no particular order:

1. Donna Noble - Doctor Who. I nearly said Bill Potts here because the important part for me is how they are friends of the Doctor with no annoying romantic stuff. But Donna did it first, and loudest so she gets the spot.

2. Morgana Pendragon - Merlin. Take a wild guess. I am gay af for Katie McGrath. But also no matter how much the journey hurts watching her go from pure cinnamon roll to charred cinnamon roll is freaking amazing.

3. Scatty (Scáthach) - The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel. The dual wielding, king making, vegetarian, vampire. Overall she’s not even in the series that much but damn the woman made an impression on 14 year old me.

4. Michael Burnham - Star Trek Discovery. Sonequa Martin-Green‘s performance as Burnham is breath taking, and the character has so much potential.

5. Eleanor Shellstrop - The Good Place. She’s an asshole and it’s fantastic.

6. Parphie. No. Soker. FUCK. SOPHIE DEVEREAUX AND PARKER - Leverage. I CAN’T CHOSE ONE OK. I DAMN NEAR SAID HARDISON AS WELL AND THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A LIST OF FEMALE CHARACTERS! I LOVE ALL OF THEM!

7. Minerva McGonagall - The Harry Potter Series. She’s a fucking badass who loves and cares for her students. For Example:

"My grandmother thinks Charms is a soft option," mumbled Neville.

"Take Charms," said Professor McGonagall, "and I shall drop Augusta a line reminding her that just because she failed her Charms O.W.L., the subject is not necessarily worthless."

8. Erza Scarlet - Fairy Tail. This changes from week to week tbh but I mostly come back to Erza. She’s freaking awesome. And both of her VA’s are talented af.

9. Alex Danvers - Supergirl. I jump between her and Cat. We get to see Alex more often these days so Alex gets the win. Her facial expressions, and her shenanigans in the background, and her whole big sister thing with like EVERYONE is great stuff. Great. Stuff.

10. Jasmine - Deltora Quest. I love her so much. My precious forest child.

AHHHHHHH I want more. And multiples. AHHHHH.

Ok. Okay. 10 people yeah? No pressure tagging:

@lexa-kom-skaikru, @ussjellyfish, @mediumhadroncollider, @yumanaa, @idonotfondue, @bethanyactually, @namesaretoomuchpressure, @pastel-nonbinary, @rainbowunihog, @argyle-s

[colbridgertons]

IS SHE NOT THE CUTEST? 

[fakeeleanorshellstrop]

Does anyone else think about how Chidi's probably been abandoned/left by past friends & girlfriends because they didn't like his indecisiveness & constant struggle with doing the right thing but Eleanor hasn't???? She gets mad at him yeah, but she also talks it through with him??? And often successfully prods him into making a choice????? And does what she can to make it easier for him???? To be decisive????

[fakeeleanorshellstrop]

can we talk about how in one of the attempts TAHANI was Eleanor’s soulmate? because same

I said it once & I’ll say it again: WE!!!! WERE!!!!!! ROBBED!!!!!!!

 I have so many questions!!! How many giraffe-related names did Eleanor come up with for Tahani?? How long before Tahani tried to give Eleanor a glam makeover??? Did Eleanor immediately shack up in Tahani’s mansion??? They both hate being around people “better” than them so did that get in the way of them getting along???? How did Eleanor’s “I’m not supposed to be here” reveal & subsequent charade go???

Did Tahani take it upon herself to help hide Eleanor’s secret because it gave her another chance to help someone & be the better person?? And then slowly grow to like Eleanor??? And realize that they’re actually more similar than she thought they were?? And then they have a heart-to-heart about being surrounded by people better than them and how it made them feel super insecure?? And then they’re totally ride or die for each other??????? We deserve answers!!!!!

[fakeeleanorshellstrop]

Okay but how did Eleanor know that Chidi was “surprisingly jacked” during the first reboot???? 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

[fakeeleanorshellstrop]

They would call it a.....sit of doubting

Eleanor Shellstrop (Leap to Faith)

[fakeeleanorshellstrop]

Eleanor: I used to think about how it's weird that they don't make pants that are just one big pant leg for both your legs

Chidi: .......you mean a skirt?
