#Chee Zee Apartments

[bobasheebaby]

Get to Know my MC & OC

I was tagged by @jovialyouthmusic​ @texaskitten30​ and @dcbbw​, thank you ladies. So at first I was sure who to finish. I already had a few MC’s and OC’s started and then Athena popped in my head. I was half done with Athena’s when I decided to do Percy’s too. So two for one ladies! Under a cut since it’s long as fuck!

Athena May Morgan

How tall are they?

5’9”

How do they tend to dress?

She lives for comfort! She doesn’t mind getting dressed up but her go to looks are jeans (that may or may not be ripped), a cute top, and a pair of sneakers, light jacket or sweater if needed OR leggings and an oversized top, sweater or hoodie. If she’s trying to look cute in her leggings a nicer sweater and a pair of cute sweater boots.

Do they like how they look?

She doesn’t hate the way she looks but she also didn’t believe Percy when he told her how beautiful she was until he took candid photographs of her.

Are they an only child or do they have any siblings?

Only child, although her cousin Bailey is like her sister. Bailey’s parents died when Bailey was 12 and Athena was 5. Athena’s dad was Bailey’s mom’s brother so he took in Bailey. They grew up very close after that and Athena was super grateful for the support of Bailey when her parents died when she was a freshman in college.

Are they a morning person or night owl?

Girl likes to sleep in, especially if it means more cuddles with Percy.

Are they a cat person or a dog person?

Both!!! She grew up in a Brooklyn apartment and her parents didn’t think that was a good life for a dog, but she always wanted one. She did have two cats, Abbadon a pure black Persian and Zeus a tan Siamese. Both were failed showcats they rescued.

Got any favourite foods?

Chee-zee bread!!!! She loves it!!!

Peanut butter cups are always kept in the freezer.

Brownies!!!! The more chocolate the better!!!

How about favourite drinks?

Caramel milkshakes with extra caramel.

What are their favourite movies/tv shows?

Sappy Hallmark movies, she loves them. They can do the same plot every Christmas 10 different ways and she will still sit and watch every single one.

She also loves cop and hospital drama’s.

Do they have any hidden talents?

No.

Do they believe in love at first sight?

Shit she didn’t use to but when she looked back she realized she had butterflies in her stomach from the moment she met Percy. She had thought at the time that her stomach was in knots because of her situation with Liam, but it was Percy.

Who is their love interest?

Duke Perceval Lennon Hunter of Winchester (my insanely awesome OC)

What are they afraid of?

She used to be afraid that she’d never fall in love or be a mom, now she’s afraid of losing them.

Spiders, creepy little fuckers!

Falling, she doesn’t mind heights, but she is very afraid of falling.

What are their guilty pleasures?

Candy, she has it stashed around the estate and she knows when it’s been touched by someone else.

What was their dream job as a kid? Is it still their dream?

She was kinda all over the place, teacher, scientist, astronaut, marine biologist. She never really had one thing she wanted to be. Oddly enough she never wanted to be a princess and yet she vied for the hand of a prince/king.

Have they ever broken a bone?

Nope

Have they ever been in trouble with the law?

Nope

+ three other random facts about them!

girl loves to bake!

she learned to knit when she was pregnant with their first, she knitted the outfits for their newborn photos.

She would never tell Bailey, but she still finds it really weird that Liam started dating her cousin. Percy just tells her it shows that it wasn’t love for him either since he could move on so quickly.

Perceval Lennon Hunter

How tall are they?

6’1”

How do they tend to dress?

He is known as the most down to earth duke, he prefers jeans and sweater or tee, sneakers or work boots. He dresses up when he has to and looks damn good but he likes to be comfortable.

Do they like how they look?

He can’t complain, the years have been good to him. He wouldn’t mind less grey, but Athena likes it so he leaves it be. He does tease her she fell in love with an old man and she just smiles and gives him a kiss.

Are they an only child or do they have any siblings?

Only child

Are they a morning person or night owl?

When he spent a lot of time with Leo or Alex he didn’t mind staying out all night. Now he’s thankful the only late nighters are at home when a baby wakes in the middle of the night. And yes he will let Athena sleep if he can. He used to be a fairly early riser, now he loves lazy mornings in.

Are they a cat person or a dog person?

Both, he actually loves all animals.

Got any favourite foods?

Greasy burgers, pasta, omelets

How about favourite drinks?

Scotch, strawberry milkshakes

What are their favourite movies/tv shows?

He loves period dramas and musicals. His mom loved watching the old musicals with him, his favorite is Carousel. He likes action or thrillers, but his favorite part of watching them is when Athena scooches closer cause she gets scared.

Do they have any hidden talents?

He can repair any Harley produced after 1935. Total overhaul of the engine? No sweat.

Do they believe in love at first sight?

He barely even believed in love. His father fucked up big time and cost Percy his mom, he knew he didn’t want to be like his father. He always looked for someone that he just clicked with and had stopped thinking it would happen long before he said hello to Athena on the royal train.

Who is their love interest?

Athena Morgan

What are they afraid of?

Failing those he loves. Watching the people that mean the most to him hurt, especially because of him.

What are their guilty pleasures?

He’s gonna sound sappy as fuck but he doesn’t give a shit, every cuddle or kiss from Athena or the kids. He loves staying in bed with her but if the baby wakes and she manages to sleep through it he will go sit in the nursery just talking to the child as he holds them cuddled to his chest. If the child falls back asleep he slips them back into their crib and goes back to cuddling Athena. If the baby is wide awake he will take them into the bed around the time Athena usually wakes. He doesn’t know that she’s heard him a few times on the monitor and falls back asleep with a goofy grin on her face.

What was their dream job as a kid? Is it still their dream?

He was the only child of a Duke, he knew there was only one job that would ever be his. But he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty and taught himself to fix his Harley and to cook.

Have they ever broken a bone?

Does it count if it wasn’t his? He once dared Alex to do a backflip off a tree branch when they were at boarding school. Alex almost stuck the landing. He lost his balance and broke his wrist trying to catch himself. Alex said it was epic and thought it was the funniest thing ever.

Have they ever been in trouble with the law?

Nothing that having diplomatic immunity couldn’t get him out of.

+ three other random facts about them!

He had a wild past and definitely partied, was not opposed to threesomes but he knew if he found the right person it would be only them.

Athena was the only person he ever said I love you to, and he hadn’t even meant to say it when he did. He was trying to calm her like he always did and it just slipped out. He was seriously scared that day but he would never tell her that. When she said she might be pregnant his biggest fear was that it was his and she wouldn’t choose him.

With the amount of trouble he and Alex caused at boarding school he was lucky he didn’t get expelled.

Around the corner from the Crapi Apartments on Overland are the cousin Chee Zee Apartments on Woodbine Street, also the joke of Alchemy Media, formerly known as National Promotions & Advertising (NPA). Find these apartments in Palms, Los Angeles!

[palmsisthebomb]

Once upon a time, I used to regularly pass by a Thai Food stand on the corner of Hollywood and Western that had a giant hot dog on top of it from its former days as a hot dog stand. That stand is no more and has been replaced with a Marshall’s and Petco.

When I moved to Palms and spotted this hot dog at the Northeast corner of Overland Ave and Palms Blvd, I thought it was so weird that there were so many giant hot dogs in L.A. While learning about the Crapi Apartments this week, Ellen Bloom’s blog post revealed that this hot dog in Palms was actually moved from that Hollywood and Western location.

I’ve somehow followed the hot dog to Palms!

Alchemy Media, an outdoor advertising agency formerly known as National Promotions & Advertising (NPA), keeps this hot dog on their west coast headquarter’s roof here in Palms. Alchemy Media is also responsible for the naming of the Crapi Apartments and the Chee Zee Apartments, making them responsible for some of Palms’s best inside jokes.

[palmsisthebomb]

Last night I went down an internet rabbit hole in search of information on and reactions to the Crapi Apartments on Overland Avenue in Palms. I suggest you do this, too, but this 2015 search result from Ellen Bloom is especially illuminating.

According to Ellen, Crapi Apartments (and the Chee-Zee Apartments around the corner) are both jokes of the owner of National Promotions and Advertising, now known as Alchemy Media, which specializes in outdoor advertising. Alchemy’s office is also located down the block on Overland in the building with the giant hot dog on it. What a bunch of jokesters.

Thank you, Ellen Bloom! Thank you, Alchemy Media!
