Finding the in between of "Not intimidating enough to where people my age wont come up to compliment me" and "Dressed up enough to where older people and judgmental parents will shake their heads and the more bolder ones will actually say something" has been a very fun process

Ok but how are the crazy f1 dads with their daughters dating? Who on the grid do they like?
oof this is a loaded ask bc they really are all out of it 😭 they just love their babies fr
♤ ♤ ♤
dad! kimi | growing up räikkönen!
FIRST OF ALL kimi doesn’t really vibe with most people in general, let alone anyone who’s trying to get with his little lumienkeli. kimi was lucky to raise a little girl similar to him, who listens when he places a no dating rule lasting until she’s 21 (as far as he knows anyways). despises the guys on the grid trying to get with her; he was one of them once so he thinks of them as animals, especially leclerc who’s known for his brow-raising dating life. also hates pierre but he already didn’t fw him bc he’s french. he is SLIGHTLY more easy going with women around his daughter so any grid guys with girlfriends might have an advantage. he finds that he wants the im-a-dog-and-ill-do-whatever-my-girl-says type for his daughter, but he dislikes unintelligence. he does not like anyone on the grid, but he best tolerates:
mick schumacher!
oscar piastri (+lily)
he vibes with kika okay but hates pierre 💀
bonus! he actually really likes max but his hate/distrust for jos overpowers that so he’s not letting that happen
♤ ♤ ♤
dad! jenson | growing up button!
OK SO JENSON is a bit less intense than kimi, however he is much more publicly affectionate with his daughter which means that he has definitely gone on public rants about how no man is good wen enough for his baby. that being said, he is a decent judge of character so he doesn’t hate anyone on the grid. but he gets real serious when he notices people hitting on his baby. this is mostly bc he was def a whore when he was younger so he isn’t quick to trust guys who are living the same lifestyle he was. he kind of turns on dad-mode when he notices anyone eyeing her up. but alas, he raised his own mini-me, who attracts just about everyone, and who likes to flirt back. it takes warming up to, but he can see himself fine with most of the drivers. he most prefers people who are friendly and who didn’t act like him when he was in f1 like:
george russel
daniel ricciardo
lando norris
♤ ♤ ♤
dad! fernando | growing up alonso!
NANDO IS DEFINITELY one of those guys who thinks he’s a “cool dad” bc he’s a young father and his daughter is his best friend. but in reality he’s one of those intense, fiercely overprotective dads who have impossibly high expectations for his daughters partner. 100% the type to punch a mechanic for saying gross things about his princesa. he’ll be calm and in a good mood then someone on the grid (or any man ever) mentions his daughter and he’s like 😐. UNLESS! it’s carlos. carlos is the only one who meets his standards, sorry to literally everyone else. but even with carlos, he can be a little stern just to get his point across about not messing with his only child. he just feels the need to personally approve of his daughter’s partner bc he’s hyper-paranoid about someone hurting her. his list looks something like:
carlos sainz!!!
that’s it
i mean if you put a gun to his head maybe max bc he’s a winner but he needs to learn to speak spanish so-
♤ ♤ ♤
dad! jos | growing up verstappen! unfortunately
FUCK JOS VERSTAPPEN obviously, however this man is one crazy dad who we have to discuss. his love for his youngest daughter is wild and unpredictable, and it’s very different from the way he treats his other children. his baby has some extreme one-sided beef with him that he’s smart enough to know about, so he isn’t too forceful about bonding, it’s definitely more desperate since max found success in f1 and she sticks with her big brother now. her entire life, he’s never allowed her to date, and when he found out about her first secret bf, he got arrested for trying to kill the kid so. he has IMPOSSIBLY high standards for his daughters partner and definitely wants her to marry within the f1 community, but he hates losers and despises half the grid.
suddenly he’s charles leclerc’s biggest fan !
lewis hamilton but he’ll never admit it
MAYBE carlos sainz
bonus! max obvi likes daniel ricciardo best but jos doesn’t fw him like that

Eddie Diaz Masterlist
Part 1
Summary: Eddie is married to Bobby's daughter, and things take a bad turn when they have to take her to the hospital in the middle of the night. And the doctors can't find out why.
Enjoy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tumblr media
A smile graced Eddie's lips as he walked round the front of the jeep over to where Bobby and Athena were stood. He bounced his youngest on his hip, feeling Mavis scrunch her hand up in his shirt as she clung to him and began drooling on his shoulder.
"Hey cutie," Bobby held his hands out expectingly until his granddaughter was carefully eased into his arms. He lifted her up so he could kiss her cheek before he settled her down on his chest and pressed his lips against the top of her head.
Eddie stuffed his hands into his pockets and watched fondly as Mavis cuddled into Bobby's chest and showed off a toothy smile when Athena kissed the back of her hand.
It felt strange just having one of the kids with him. But both Chris and Iris were in school and Eddie didn't want to part with Mavis and ask Carla to look after her. He wanted Mavis to be with him and he knew it would cheer (Y/n) up to have one of the kids here to see her.
"You brought visitors." Eddie managed a smile when he looked behind Bobby and noticed Hen and Evan stood to the side.
All the team had been nervous for the last three days. It had been so strange for them to be at work with Hen as active captain while Bobby and Eddie both took the rest of the week off. They needed to be with (Y/n), especially when they didn't know what was causing her illnesses and her sudden bouts of agony and pain.
They were all taking turns watching the kids and being at the hospital with (Y/n). She didn't like being in the hospital, especially not alone and if they left her, they had a feeling she would try and discharge herself.
The five of them slowly walked through the main entrance and headed down the hall towards the stairs. Eddie wasn't sure if the staff would be happy to find (Y/n)'s room cramped with all these visitors, but it would only be for a few hours and they wouldn't be any trouble.
"How is she?" Hen weaved behind Athena and moved over to stand on Eddie's other side. They were both medics, they had a bit more understanding of health conditions and complications than Evan or either of (Y/n)'s parents.
She stuffed her hands in her pockets and hunched her shoulders high as she assessed Eddie.
He had one hand tangled in his hair, loosening the knots that gathered between his fingers. Dark purple ringlets hung beneath his crackling, brown orbs and his skin looked very pale, verging on grey. He looked like he hadn't eaten anything during the last three days since she had seen him at his house with (Y/n).
"Random granulomas in her lungs and liver, and then a haemorrhage in her bladder, and they don't know why. But the meds are working, she's so much better today."
Seeing (Y/n) more like herself didn't do anything to calm Eddie down, if anything, it put him more on edge. He didn't understand why she had the granulomas in her lungs to begin with, or why they moved into her liver. And the bleed in her bladder was so sudden and unexpected, and there was no reason for it. The doctors couldn't explain any of it.
But yesterday, (Y/n) had seemed much more like herself. She was eating and drinking, she was sitting up and talking and she could breathe properly without gasping or feeling a tightening in her chest.
Eddie knew the doctors were thinking about sending her home soon, but he didn't want her home until they knew why she was ill and could ensure it didn't happen again.
"And there's nothing wrong with her blood?" Hen pondered as they advanced up to the second floor.
"Not that they can find."
"I'm sure they'll come up with something." Hen didn't voice it, but she knew the doctors were likely to come up with an explanation soon. They had Eddie breathing down their necks and the whole fire department waiting for answers, they weren't likely to rest until they got the answers they needed.
Athena moved ahead and pushed open the stairwell door, keeping it open for everyone to filter through. But her eyes lingered on Evan who was leaning over Bobby's shoulder to try and interact with Mavis.
"You never said Eddie was related to you. Why didn't you say you had grandkids?" Evan looked between Bobby and Athena while he smiled at the little girl who was drooling and making small noises into Bobby's shirt.
He had never once heard Bobby talk about having a daughter. He scarcely opened up about losing his wife and son in the apartment fire back in Minnesota.
Learning Bobby did indeed have a daughter and three grandkids was a big surprise to the team. It was even more of a surprise to learn Eddie was his son in law and was in fact very close to him. They had been more than professional at work. Neither of them had given away this little fact or let on that they were closer than just Captain and teammate.
"It never came up," Bobby shrugged and turned to the right when Athena held out her hands and gently took their youngest grandchild from his arms and into her own.
"I'm pretty sure it should have when we talked about bringing families to the summer party. You could have mentioned Eddie's practically your son."
Evan wouldn't voice it, but he felt a little irritated at not learning this sooner. He felt close to Bobby, he often thought of Bobby and Athena as his surrogate parents. It hurt to realise they were more like Eddie's parents and were in fact related to him than Evan.
"And have you go in a mood or say I'm getting preferential treatment? No thanks." It wasn't so much Evan or Hen, as the rest of the team that Eddie had been wary of.
He didn't want anyone saying Bobby went easy on him or was soft or let him get away with things because they were related. If no one knew, no one made a fuss and they all remained friends but with professional boundaries in place. It was easier not to ay anything. Not that it mattered now, anyway.
"Alright, here we-" Eddie bit down on his lip and held back a sigh when he opened the door to (Y/n)'s room and looked inside. "What on Earth are you doing?"
He felt Bobby's hand on his shoulder as he leaned around his son in law to look into the room and see what he was referring to. Evan and Hen crowded behind as Athena and Mavis stood on Eddie's right and leaned gently on his arm to see what (Y/n) was doing. None of them could gather any words when they looked around and locked their eyes on her.
(Y/n) rolled her lips together and tried to bite back a sheepish smile when she looked over at the door.
Her arms moved to coil around her waist and she looked down at herself before she glanced back up at her family crowded in the doorway.
She was fed up of wearing the scratchy, uncomfortable hospital gown they had provided her with when she was admitted. And when (Y/n) noticed the bag Athena had dropped off for Eddie with clothes, deodorant and a few essentials from home, she couldn't resist. (Y/n) wanted to feel comfortable and move about.
It had been a little harder than she first thought. She went to the bathroom, dragging the IV pole along with her and stripped from the nuisance gown. She changed into a pair of Eddie's jogging bottoms and the bra she had worn when she was admitted, but the IV was harder to fathom.
(Y/n) couldn't undo the clip properly or remove the wire so she could slip on Eddie's hoodie. The effort, along with a sudden bout of dizziness had landed (Y/n) on the floor.
She was sat in the doorway to the bathroom, hoodie resting over her lap, IV pole behind her and her legs curled beneath her as she sat wearing jogging bottoms and her bra.
"I was sick of wearing that stupid gown." (Y/n) mumbled quietly but when she tilted her head back to look up at them, she could feel the blood draining down to her toes. And her head lolled backwards as her hand planted down on the floor to keep herself sitting upright.
Eddie shook his head, tutting under his breath as he marched into the room and bent down in front of her.
"Then you wait for me to help you. You don't go doing everything yourself."
"Sorry,"
Eddie held his breath when (Y/n) flopped her head to one side and looked at him with those big doe eyes and a lopsided smile that had his heart fluttering like a bird in a cage.
He moved down onto his knees, tutting at her quietly but when (Y/n) leaned over and let her head drop onto his chest, he felt himself deflating. He wasn't angry at her, but he wished she would just wait for help and let them look after her. She always thought she had to do everything herself when all Eddie wanted to do was look after her and make sure she was okay.
He cradled the back of her neck and pressed his lips against the top of her head, breathing in the scent of her shampoo that was starting to fade. His other arm secured around her waist and he gently shuffled her to the side so she was propped up against the bathroom door.
For a brief moment, he let his eyes wander down to (Y/n)'s exposed stomach. The fading, slashed line across her abdomen beneath her belly button caught his attention; her scar from the C-section she had with Iris. And an inch below that was a fresh incision in her skin with four neat, navy blue stitches sewing the skin back together.
He hated that (Y/n) had needed to go for minor surgery to repair the bleed in her bladder. And Eddie hated that they couldn't find a reason or explanation.
"Come here," He whispered softly and reached out for her right hand so he could drape it across his thigh.
His fingers glided across the back of her hand and he made sure the canula was still inserted in her vein before his touch moved up along the fluid tube. a few centimeters up, Eddie found the cap and the two cut off sections where injections and doses could be administered into the IV line.
He capped off the tube so no more fluids could get in and unscrewed the green plastic, removing the wire free from the canula in her hand.
"Alright, let's get this on you, mi amor."
Eddie reached out for the hoodie on her thighs and he grinned when he realised it was one of his.
A quiet 'oof' left his lips when (Y/n) let him pull the hoodie over her head and then slumped forward into his chest again. She closed her eyes and smiled into Eddie's shirt, breathing in his scent and went floppy like jelly so Eddie could carefully ease her arms through the sleeves. He was particularly careful not to nudge or pull out her canula and he rolled the sleeve up to her elbow to make sure it was in tact.
Once the IV line was reconnected, Eddie patted (Y/n)'s hip and held her waist so he could move around and crouch between her parted thighs.
He looped her legs around his hips and effortlessly lifted her up so she was sat low on his hips with her arms around his neck and her face smothered against his collar bone.
Bobby silently walked over and followed behind them with the IV pole as Eddie went over to the bed and eased (Y/n) down so she was sat in bed again where he expected her to be when they came in.
"Better?" Bobby asked gently and leaned down to kiss her temple while Eddie perched on the side of the bed and Athena moved to sit down in the chair beside the bed.
"Much better."
As soon as Mavis looked around, her arms stretched out and she began whimpering and gurgling until Athena carefully sat her down on the bed.
(Y/n) held her arms out and lifted Mavis up just before she had the chance to flop onto her stomach and hurt her stitches. The whole of (Y/n)'s abdomen was sore and tender and her chest was still aching every now and then, especially when she took deep breaths.
She settled Mavis down tucked under her right arm and let her lean on her upper chest. Three days without the kids felt like a lifetime and (Y/n) couldn't wait until this afternoon when Eddie would bring Chris and Iris down to see her. When she got her arms around them, she wasn't sure she would be able to let them go.
Hopefully in a day or two, she could go home.
***
"Mr Diaz, your wife has reacted well to the medication for the last five days-"
"You think two days without a symptom means she's cured? You can't even find the problem. You're not sending her home."
Eddie clamped his hand down on his hip while his other hand rubbed across his jaw. He leaned back against the wall and took a deep breath to try and calm himself down. The last thing he needed was to lose his temper here and now, but he couldn't help himself.
"I think your wife is sick of being in observation and all our tests are negative. Unless she has another symptom or relapse, we can send her home and continue tests and routine checks every week."
"No." Eddie pushed off the wall when he noticed his father in law walking down the corridor. He waved his hand out and beckoned him over. "This is her dad. You can explain to the Captain of the 118 firehouse why you want to send his sick daughter home without a diagnosis or anymore treatment."
"You're doing what?"
As soon as Bobby clamped his hands down on his hips and stood tall and stern in front of the doctor, Eddie could feel the man's resolve melting away. He watched with glee in his eyes as Bobby intimidated the other man who had to be about his age.
Bobby wasn't having this. He wasn't letting them discharge (Y/n) when they still didn't know what was wrong with her. What if it happened again? What if she got another unconnected symptom? What if they took her home and she suddenly deteriorated fast and out of nowhere?
As soon as the words "Let's talk in my office," hit Eddie's ears, he turned his back and moved towards (Y/n)'s room. He wasn't going for an argument in this man's office. Bobby was the one he needed to deal with now or else Eddie was going to lose his temper. At least with Bobby they could talk things through calmly and try to come up with a solution.
Whatever was wrong with (Y/n), it wasn't going to just go away and Eddie knew that for a fact. He knew the granulomas hadn't caused the bleeding in (Y/n)'s bladder. There had to be some underlying cause somewhere causing these problems.
"Daddy!"
Eddie spun on his heels and plastered the calmest smile he could manage on his face. His eyes set on all three of his kids and the sight made his heart swell and sent his lungs tightening in his chest.
They would simmer his temper down and make him smile. They would make (Y/n) feel better too. They didn't want to leave her the past two days they had been down to see her. Eddie wanted (Y/n) to come home, he wanted his wife home safe and well with them, but she couldn't come home now when she might still be unwell. It was too risky.
"Hi baby girl, come here." He leaned down and scooped Iris up in his right arm as his left arm secured around Chris who pummelled into him and almost knocked him down. "Are you okay, how was school?"
He looked up and nodded at Athena who was bouncing Mavis on her hip with a tender smile. Athena had barely put Mavis down this last week since she and Bobby had been helping out with the kids.
"Good, can we see mum?" Chris leaned his head back to look up at Eddie while Iris looped her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek. They had been switching between staying home with Eddie on a night and staying with their grandparents. And although they understood why, it had still been a daunting week for them all.
Everyone wanted things to go back to normal and for (Y/n) to get better.
"Yeah, let's go surprise her." He sat Iris on his hip and kept his other hand on Chris's back, waiting for Athena to walk alongside them before they walked down the corridor.
"Was that the doctor Bobby wandered off with?"
"Yeah." A silent exchange passed between them and Athena pursed her lips, humming and nodding to herself. She could sense in Eddie's silence and the fury in his eyes that her husband was about to be having an argument rather than a civil conversation.
"Eddie! Oh God, Eddie!"
An ungodly tremor surged down Eddie's spine and fizzled his blood down to his toes when (Y/n)'s voice caught his attention.
He turned to look at Athena who went rigid beside him. Something was happening. When Eddie left her room less than twenty minutes ago to go to the toilet and subsequently talk to the doctor, she had been perfectly fine. She looked a little tired and languid but other than that, she had been sat up reading a book.
"Stay with nana." Eddie slumped Iris down to her feet and pushed her and Chris towards athena, stopping his son from trying to rush ahead with him.
He couldn't have any of the kids going into (Y/n)'s room, he didn't know what the problem was or what he would be walking into.
"Eddie!"
(Y/n)'s cry had Eddie's heart hammering away against his chest and each beat made him feel like his heart had become impaled on his ribs. He bolted to the right and barged into the room, slamming the door shut behind him so none of the kids could see or properly hear what was going on in here. He already knew Athena would be on her way to find a doctor and get some help.
"Baby, baby what's wrong?"
Eddie stumbled over to the bed, holding his breath deep in his lungs as he looked around and tried to see what was going on.
She was laid in the middle of the bed, both arms seemingly bound around her stomach and her feet were pressed down into the mattress with her knees pulled up near her stomach. (Y/n) had her shoulders pulled inwards and her body was leant forwards with her head almost touching her knees.
Pressing his knees into the edge of the bed, Eddie carefully wrapped his arms around (Y/n) and tried to be gentle when he reeled her up.
"Baby-"
"I-it hurts… oh it kills! Make it stop! Eddie m-make it stop, please." The words spluttered through gritted teeth and her tone was volatile and high in pitch.
This felt so much worse than the blockage in her liver. It hurt more than the needle Eddie punctured into her lung to relieve the pressure. This was more than painful discomfort in her bladder. And the pain wasn't in any of those places like it had been before.
(Y/n) wasn't sure where the pain was coming from or what the problem was, all she knew was it felt like someone had taken to stabbing her repeatedly. Each heartbeat sent her blood pounding and she could feel her heartbeat vibrating and pulsing off her like heatwaves.
Reaching her hands out, (Y/n) curled her hands around Eddie's bicep, digging her nails into his skin like tallons sinking through to the bone. Her eyes snapped closed and her head pressed into his shoulder. She wanted to double over and see if it would ease the pain, but Eddie wouldn't let her.
His left arm secured around her chest and his right arm looped around her back, keeping her sitting up and imbedding her shoulder into his chest. He pressed his lips against the back of her head and started to shush her as he carefully leaned her back so she sank down into the pillow.
"Okay baby, shh I've got you it's okay."
When she tried to push forward again with a cry resembling a howl, Eddie pushed her back again. "Baby you have to let me look. Shh, let me see what's wrong."
He could feel her tears soaking into his shirt and her frame began to tremble as she sobbed in absolute agony. But if Eddie didn't examine her, he wasn't going to know what the problem was. It was either him or a doctor examining her to find out what was wrong.
Once (Y/n) was laid back, Eddie pushed her knees down to her legs were on the bed and not coiled up near her stomach. He lifted her shirt up towards her bra so he could see her skin and try and find the issue. His hands instantly moved towards her bladder and where her stitches were, thinking she might have an infection or another bleed.
But when Eddie pressed down near her bladder, (Y/n) shook her head. That wasn't where her pain was situated, her bladder was seemingly fine. And he could tell by her voice and her cries that her lungs weren't a problem.
Eddie looked into his wife's eyes and pulled her eyelid back. The whites of her eyes weren't yellow or discoloured, her liver was still in working order too.
Moving his hands around, Eddie pressed down on various areas of (Y/n)'s chest and torso until (Y/n) suddenly jumped beneath him like he had brought her back to life. A scream bounced off her teeth and clawed past her lips as she latched her fingers around his wrist again to either make him stop or get him to do something about the pain.
"It's your spleen, it might have burst." Eddie reached out and hit the emergency button before he sat down and let (Y/n) sit up and burrow into him.
"No… oh no," (Y/n) choked as she pushed herself further into Eddie like his comfort would do something, anything, to make her feel better and relieve her pain. Her cries shivered through to his chest and her tears soaked into his shirt as she cried and gasped.
Why was she now having problems in her spleen? What was happening to affect so many different organs in her body like this without connection?
"Alright baby, I'm here. We'll get this sorted, I promise."
***
(Y/n) slowly peeled her eyes open, taking her time to try and get her vision to focus and adjust so she could find out where she was and what was going on.
She felt battered and bruised.
Her body had been used as a pin cushion, needles punctured into her chest, dozens more into her bladder to infuse medication and remove the bleed. Needles into her liver to take bloods and check function and that it was back working again. Her chest was still swollen and bruised from her respiratory arrest. And now another part of her abdomen was aching and felt like it had been torn apart.
Before her eyes adjusted, (Y/n) reached a shaking hand up and grabbed the oxygen tube that was pushed under her nose. She yanked it out and tossed it off her ears; she didn't want that.
"Hm…"
"Hey mi amor, how do you feel?"
Her lips formed a languid, lazy smile and she flopped her hand around until she found Eddie's wrist that was resting near her thigh. She limply tugged on his hand until he started to chuckle and got the hint.
Eddie leaned over her chest and pressed his lips to her temple while his hand brushed across her jaw and neck. He couldn't stop his heart from hammering away in his chest when he tried to lean back but (Y/n) tilted her head and caught his lips in a kiss.
He kissed her lips once, then twice, then a third time until he had to pull back and let (Y/n) catch her breath before she passed out on him. His nose brushed hers and he rested his temple on hers, smiling as her eyes finally seemed to come into focus.
"Hi,"
A grin formed on Eddie's lips and he laughed. "Hi, baby." He kissed her one last time before he slowly sat up. He shuffled his hips back until they touched (Y/n)'s thigh and let her look around her crowded room.
Her dad was sat on the chair on her right with Chris perched on his lap, smiling intently when (Y/n) realised Chris was holding her right hand captive in both of his. And Athena was sat to her left with Mavis and Iris both sat on her knees.
"What happened?" (Y/n) squeezed Chris's hand and kept hold of Eddie's wrist while she felt his fingertips feathering up and down her wrist and arm.
"It was your spleen, it ruptured so they had to remove it."
He watched the way (Y/n)'s smile dampened and her eyes glanced down to her chest as if she could see through the scratchy hospital gown to look at her skin. She didn't dare think what her abdomen and torso would now look like. Puncture wounds from needles, her old C-section scar, the new line of stitches from her bladder surgery. And now another small scar or two to remove her spleen. What would be next?
"Good news though, we can take you home in two days."
(Y/n) tilted her head to the side and looked across at her dad with furrowed brows. Why would they take her home so soon? She had just had her spleen removed for no apparent reason. Surely she would have to stay longer now and wait for another organ to fail or another rupture or blood loss to take effect? What if this happened when she went home, what would she do?
She didn't realise tears were falling down her face until Chris let go of her hand and reached out to brush them away.
"Let's go get your mum a drink, she'll be parched by now." Athena got to her feet and held her hand out to Chris while Mavis settled on her hip and Iris stayed dutifully by her side. She waited for Chris to kiss (Y/n)'s cheek and whisper 'love you mum' in her ear before he took Athena's hand and followed along. Telling her exactly what drink he knew (Y/n) would want to make her feel better.
"Home?" (Y/n) moved both her hands to hold Eddie's arm and tugged until he obliged and held her hips. He carefully sat her up while Bobby moved the pillows behind her so she was upright rather than lying down. "I c- I… if it happens again?"
"Baby it won't-"
"What's next?"
Eddie didn't understand what she meant until one of her hands moved to her chest and she started patting up and down her chest and abdomen. She felt like someone had a map of her body and was ticking off each organ and part of her that they were injuring. Lungs, liver, bladder, spleen, there wasn't a lot left before everything was hit and then where would she be? She would end up dying.
Was she dying? Was that why they were sending her home? Had they finally found out the problem, but it was bad news? Was she going home to die?
It was as if Eddie could see every horrid thought running rapid in her mind because his hands smothered her face in an instant. His thumbs brushed beneath her eyes, his fingers danced across her cheeks and he kissed her lips as his temple pressed against hers.
He felt (Y/n)'s hands shakily grab his wrists and hold tight until her nails were cutting through his skin and she was cutting off his circulation.
"Nothing's next, mi amor, I swear. You're gonna be just fine now, they've found the problem."
(Y/n) tried to catch her breaths that were running away without her and she turned her head to the right to look at her dad. He smiled, doing his best to hide the tears in his eyes and he moved to perch on the bed next to her.
Bobby kissed the side of (Y/n)'s head and wrapped an arm around her middle while his other hand fumbled in his pocket. He found the small plastic container he had been holding onto for the last three hours since (Y/n) came out of surgery. The small vile no bigger than a blood sample tube, which had captured the Captain's attention for the last few hours.
When he held it out for (Y/n) to see, her eyes narrowed and her lips curled. She didn't know what she was looking at.
Her hands stayed bound around Eddie's wrists to keep his hands close even as he dropped them from her face and moved to hold her waist instead.
"W-what is it?"
"It's the splinter they found in your spleen."
She didn't understand. How could she have a splinter in her spleen? How could a splinter have caused all this damage? Her eyes narrowed and she leaned closer to look in the vile. A thin- very thin, almost miniscule piece of wood about the length of her fingernail. Her eyes danced back across to her husband, wanting some sort of explanation.
"It must have been near your intestine, you moved during the night and it moved to your chest and caused the respiratory problems. Then it moved to your liver, causing the granulomas, and then down to your bladder. You were lucky it ruptured your spleen, or they might not have found it."
No one could say for sure where it started or got into (Y/n)'s body, but they knew the route it had taken. It had punctured a lung and caused respiratory arrest which then caused the granulomas, and when it moved to her liver it caused the same problem. The medication cleared up both those issues, but the splinter moved along and went down to her bladder and poked through the lining which caused the bleed.
Travelling to her spleen was a lucky escape. It caused enough damage to rupture the organ and surgery to remove it left the splinter stuck in her spleen and effectively took away the problem.
"How?"
"The doctor said you either ingested it, or if you've had a fall, it could have punctured into your system."
Either it was in any food (Y/n) had been eating or chewing and got ingested into her system. Or when she had been in the garden or playing with the kids or taking them to the woods and had a small accident, it punctured right through her skin. It was so small and sharp that it could have felt like a pin prick, a small discomforting pain like a scratch rather than a horrid pain like the agony it had caused throughout her system.
None of them would have ever thought up this explanation. None of the team were going to believe it when Eddie and Bobby told them what had happened.
If they didn't find it, Eddie wouldn't believe it, and there was no wonder it hadn't shown up in any of the scans (Y/n) had. Wood absorbs water, it would have absorbed the fluids in her body and changed the density so the MRI hadn't picked up its presence.
Turning her head to the right, (Y/n) kissed her dad's cheek before she pushed forward and wrapped both arms tightly around Eddie's neck. She shuffled until she was practically sat on his lap with her face buried in his neck, breathing in his scent as he kissed her temple.
"You're gonna be just fine now, mi amor. I promise."

Joel Miller was not a god-fearing man.
And given the current circumstances, he feared he may now be facing the consequences of it. Living in a post-apocalyptic world, having lost his daughter. Well, his oldest daughter. He still had you, his last bit of sunshine in the dark world that the survivors of the cordyceps infection now found themselves living in. You were only 3 years old at the beginning of the outbreak, meaning you weren't quite old enough to remember your older sister, Sarah, but Joel was thankful that you weren't old enough to remember her death - it did, however, break his heart that you would never remember how much she loved you. You were lucky enough to not understand the severity of what had happened the night of the outbreak, just that in the days following you sat squashed between a backpack and your dad's back. It was fortunate that you had found an abandoned farmhouse in a secluded area that Joel had deemed safe enough for you to lay low in for a while - the 'a while' in this case is the past 4 years. You liked to play outside, but only where Joel or your Uncle Tommy could see you - Joel especially needed the closure of knowing where you were at all times, he couldn't lose you, especially after losing your sister, who your memories off had slowly faded, her face one you couldn't make out anymore.
Joel liked to tell you stories about Sarah, about how at first she wasn't entirely thrilled about no longer having all of her dad's attention, but how quickly she'd grown to love you; About how she used to help you build a fort in your room to read you stories in, often ending up in both of you falling asleep in it, leaving Joel to find and put you both to bed. The stories your dad told you always brought a sombre smile to his face and a glaze of tears in his eyes, which he tried to hide from you. As Joel finished up his telling of sleeping beauty to you, you fell into a coughing fit.
"Woah, it's okay baby," Joel assured you, sitting you up and rubbing your back. What was coming never crossed his mind. "Here," He handed you the glass of water that was sitting on the nightstand of the room you slept in, watching as you gulped down half of the glass. "That better?" He asked you, pushing your hair back from your face as you lay back down.
"Yeah, thanks daddy," Your speech sounded a bit slurred to Joel, but he put it down to you being tired. Your dad kissed the top of your head as he tucked you in.
"Goodnight baby girl, I love you," Joel told you quietly, noticing that you had already started drifting off to sleep. As he left your room, he duly noted your symptoms, a pit opening up in his stomach as he started thinking through all of the symptoms of the Cordyceps infection that had been broadcast by FEDRA. He managed to somehow gaslight himself into thinking that children your age were immune to the infection.
The next morning, however, confirmed Joel's worst fears.
You were infected.
Your mood change was the biggest indicator. You were agitable and grumpy, something that Joel could confidently say you never were. He tried not to get angry or upset with you during the course of the day, he hoped you were unaware of the infection that was attacking your brain and body,  and ultimately be the cause of your death. Tommy, while upset at the expectant loss of his last living niece, had agreed to let Joel spend your last day with him and only him. He'd go on a run to try and find a strong enough sedative for you. Joel, had somehow managed to source some paint and paper.
"Y/N, come here," He said gently, trying not to upset you, since you had thrown a tantrum over the way he had spoken to you previously. You tentatively took his hand and let him lead you out to the porch, where he had set up a rolling tray he'd found in the attic and filled with paint.
"What are we doing?" Your speech had gotten more slurred since last night, further confirming your infection. Joel sat down behind you and sat you between his legs, your back to his chest as he pulled the tray forward.
"We're gonna make your handprints, baby," He said, the same tone as before, carefully dipping your hands in the paint tray and then onto the paper. He quietly sighed as you tried to resist, but he was quickly able to overpower you.
"Why?" You asked, your tone irritated. Joel couldn't tell you the real reason why. That you were doing this so he could keep a piece you with him all the time because you were dying, but you didn't need to know that.
"Because..." Joel scrambled for an excuse, he realistically knew anything would do, due to the fact that your brain probably didn't have much function left before you became like the runners. "I want to remember you being this little." Because you won't get to be any bigger than this. The thought made Joel tear up even more. The small blue handprints brought a small smile to his face, although it didn't last long, as you looked up at him, he could tell by the absent stare in your eyes that you didn't have much long left before you became nothing more than the victim of the infection running rampant in your body.
"Okay?" You asked in reference to your handprints, lethargically running your hands down your dads shirt, marking it a royal blue, a bright contrast against the black material of his shirt. He sniffled and nodded, picking you and your handprints up and bringing you indoors.
"They're perfect, baby girl," He put them on the table to dry and went over to the dusty sofa, he didn't care much for the dust on the sofa, just wanting to hold you close for a while until Tommy came back. As much as Joel knew this was the right thing to do, to keep his memories of you as his happy baby, he didn't want Tommy to come back with the drugs that would aid in killing you - but he also knew that it wouldn't be fair to let you become one of those...things. You didn't deserve that, at least this way, you would go peacefully, being held by your dad. The sound of Tommy pulling into the driveway didn't even alert you in the slightest, but to your now severely under-functioning brain, you were just happy to be with your dad. Tommy came in, a box in one hand and a solemn look on his face as he looked over at his older brother, who sat holding his daughter. He went upstairs to retrieve the half empty glass of water in your room, crushing up the sedative pills and mixing them into the water, tears springing to his eyes at what's about to happen. If he felt like this, he couldn't imagine how Joel was feeling. He grabbed your teddy before going downstairs, handing the glass to Joel, and your teddy to you. "Y/N?" It took you a minute before you hummed in response. "You know I love you so much, don't you?"
"Yeah daddy," You slurred out. Joel didn't know if he could do this. He didn't want to think of all the lasts with you. That last night was the last time he'd ever put you to bed and tuck you in, that those stories he told you of Sarah would be the last stories you would ever hear. But the more he thought of the thing you would become if he didn't do this, the more he knew it was the right thing. He handed you the glass and watched as you gulped the rest down, unaware of why the water was so cloudy, or why it tasted so bitter. You gave the glass back to your dad, who then handed it back to his brother. Joel put both arms around you, so that you knew he was there, if your brain could still function enough to recognise him. The rising and falling of your chest became less rhythmic, until it just stopped completely. The dam building behind Joel's eyes finally burst, the realisation that you were gone now fully hitting him; He hugged your lifeless body as he sobbed, fully realising that both of his baby girls were gone.
-16 years later-
Joel had changed, a lot. After all, the deaths of both his daughters would do that to a person. He hadn't seen Tommy in months, and had now somehow adopted a stray cat of a girl who was immune to the infection - Oddly enough, she reminded him of you, but painfully of your death. You would be alive if you were immune, you'd be 23 years old now, but instead, you've been gone longer than you ever got to live for. If the whole thing hadn't ever happened, Sarah would be 34, Joel often thought about you both, how you'd get along, if either of you would have had kids, how you would have looked; if you would have outgrown your baby face.
But that's all they were, they were only what if's.
He kicked a log over to pose as a bench for himself and Ellie to sit on, huffing as he sat down, his entire body aching from the days toil. Forgetting about the girl beside him, he pulled out a worn piece of paper, the quarter lines prominent where the shapes of small, blue handprints could be made out - Ellie noted that the shade of blue matched that of the stains marking Joel's shirt.
"What's that?" She asked Joel, peering over his shoulder to get a peek at what he was holding. He gave a glare, more fatherly than anything, and she backed off to give him space. He let out a sigh and looked at the paper, deep in thought.
"My daughter's handprints," He said quietly, unable to face Ellie. She was confused, Joel said that Sarah had died when she was 14, and those were pretty small hands for a 14 year old, although she couldn't say much, she hadn't really met any other 14 year olds.
"But you said-" "I know. They're not Sarah's," Joel cut Ellie off, taking a few deep breaths to compose himself. "They're my youngest daughter, Y/N's. She died when she was 7," He told Ellie, who fiddled with her hands nervously, unsure of what to say next, Joel, sensing the unease from the girl, continued, "It was about 4 years into this whole thing, we'd found a farmhouse in the countryside where we laid low for a bit, but I didn't know you were more likely to catch it out in those areas, so I let her play outside all the time, I noticed she was sick the night before she died, but I didn't think she was infected." Joel finished, his voice breaking. Ellie pretended that she hadn't heard it, instead opting for a probably worse alternative.
"So...she became like...them?" She asked. It sent Joel down a hole. Thinking of what would have happened to you if he didn't do what he did. Some say that the infected person is still in there, like a prisoner in their own body. He couldn't bear the thought of you like that, he'd seen how those people end up, blinded, scarred faces, nightmare fuel. He shook his head with a sniffle, still unable to face looking at the girl.
"No, I spent her last day with her while my brother went and got heavy sedatives, I wouldn't have let her end up like that. So I have these handprints I made with her," He said, gently tracing over the handprints of his youngest child, so gentle that you would think that the slightest gust of wind would turn the paper to ash. Ellie noticed the shakiness of Joel's hand, unsure of what to do, she put her hand on his back. "What are you doing?" He asked her, thinking she'd upset him, she took her hand away.
"Sorry, I was trying to make you feel better," She said sheepishly, unable to meet his hard stare. Ellie reminded him so much of Sarah - and of you. He might not have you both with him anymore, but he has small parts of you, parts of you he sees in Ellie.

𝙙𝙖𝙙!𝙣𝙞𝙠𝙤𝙡𝙖𝙞 + 𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙢
content ⨳ fluff, family scenario, fem!reader, oc kids: yuri (first son), mari (second daughter), karol (little gremlin)
notes ⨳ dedicated for homies in discord and especially @quansoda! we love dad nikolai and bsd dads agenda ehe ❤️ p/s, you're also the baby mama and this might seem unpolished and all lol im tryna escape the burnt-out
Tumblr media
“Alright, kids. Who wants ice cream?”
“Me!” “Me.”
Yuri and Mari who are sitting at the back immediately raise their arms. Karol on the other hand is sleeping on your lap. He almost cries because he doesn't like sitting in the middle of the back seat. So you prompted to settle him down on your lap instead and now he's oddly sleeping peacefully despite the nauseous drive — uh, only Yuri is nauseous.
“We're gonna get ice cream?” you ask your husband who has been driving the car for almost an hour and a half now. The journey still has around three hours to go.
Nikolai grins. “Yurochka looks too fatigued,” he says slowly, just so his first son won't hear him. You try to get a peek at Yuri who sits behind you but your movement is limited since Karol is sleeping.
“Yuri, do you want water?” you ask.
“It's okay, mom...” you hear his voice. He tries to make himself sound like everything is fine but you and Nikolai can clearly tell he feels nauseous because of the ride.
Within five minutes, Nikolai stops by a rest and service area, complete with many open premises and petrol stations. The rest stop is not crowded with people, so he finds parking just quickly.
“Mama...” Karol shifts in your lap as he wakes up. You smile and pat his back.
“We're gonna get ice cream, Karol,” you say and his eyes gleam almost immediately. He hugs you and tries to open the car door in excitement.
“Kuh-kream! Ice cream!”
“Okay, okay! Don't run, Karol— Oh my Goodness!”
Leaving you dealing with the chaotic little gremlin — he actually opens the door and almost falls face down first — Nikolai goes to open the back seat door. He helps Mari to get out, as well as Yuri.
Nikolai crouches in front of Mari, fixing her blouse and ponytail, as well as her glittering purple pouch sling on her body. Yuri is just standing close to him, keeping an eye on you and Karol who are in minor chaos.
“Yurochka.”
Yuri turns to his dad and Nikolai grins at him before he brushes Yuri's hair, purposely messing it just to have Yuri pushes his hand away. “You good, Yurochka?” he asks and Yuri flashes him a regretful look. Yuri shakes his head and Nikolai nods. He reaches to Yuri's hair again, now styling it like a government secretary's hairstyle, which makes Yuri sighs at his dad's teasing.
“After this stop, you will sit at the front, 'kay?”
“What about mom?” Yuri asks. Coincidentally, you and Karol finally get to the three, with Karol hopping joyfully. Your face looks like you just overcame a war. Yuri huffs and smacks the back of Karol's head lightly.
“Ack!”
“Behave.”
“Behave!” Mari points her finger at Karol, supporting her brother but the youngest clenches his tiny cheeky fist before he bites Mari's finger. “Waaa!”
You pull Karol back and Nikolai gets to Mari. You sigh when Karol just giggling like some sort of villain character in one of his cartoons. You look at Nikolai. “He's very like you.”
“What? Darling, that's very offensive!” Nikolai clutches his chest, seeming to be offended by your remarks. Yuri scrunches his nose, seeing his dramatic dad. Without even saying anything, Nikolai knows Yuri is judging him very hard right now.
With Mari holding Nikolai's hand, Karol in his arm and Yuri holding your hand, all of you walk to the rest stop. Nikolai leads you to a cafe that serves waffles, ice cream and some drinks. You find a table just enough for your family of five near the window.
“What do you want to eat, kids?” Nikolai asks before he hooks his sunglasses on the collar of his shirt.
“The pink ice cream!” Mari says, giving Nikolai a fake pink card to him — as if she's paying.
“The choco waffle with vanilla ice cream,” Yuri says after he looks at the menu board at the counter.
“I'll take whatever you take,” you reply as you are braiding Mari's hair.
“Aaa... kreammm!” Karol.
Nikolai nods as Karol makes a biting gesture with his hands on Nikolai's hand — acting as if his fingers are dinosaurs' teeth. He twirls Mari's 'credit' card in his fingers as he looks at the menu. Swaying his hand gently from Karol, he walks to the counter to order. Having nothing to bother, Karol repeats the action at Yuri's arm instead.
“Mom,” Yuri calls you who are accessorising Mari's hair with pins and ribbons. You hum, looking at him. He is just letting Karol play with his arm. “Dad says he wants me to sit at the front...”
“Oh. Sure, Yuri. You can sit at the front.”
“But...”
“Yuri, you don't feel good sitting at the back, right? So, sit at the front later. Besides, dad can look after you. Or me, if I'm driving after this.” you say softly. Yuri looks at you and nods — he always listens to you the most.
Mari looks at her brother and raises her body on the table. “Yurochka, are you sick?” she asks, concerned. She reaches to Yuri to feel his forehead but ends up palming his face instead.
“No! I'm not sick.” Yuri moves Mari's hand, pouting.
Several minutes later, Nikolai returns with a tray of two plates of waffles, three drinks and two ice cream. Mari and Karol are quick to reach their ice cream and Yuri knows well to sit beside you so he can enjoy his choco waffles to himself. Nikolai gets both of you the same coffee and a plate of waffles to share.
“Pa! Naaaa!” Karol tries to feed Nikolai his chocolate ice cream which Nikolai gladly opens his mouth to, only for the spoon to land at the corner of his lips, smearing some chocolate.
You chuckle when Nikolai looks at Karol with a judging face. He turns to you, pouting. “What are you laughing at? Clean me.” he shakes your arm, making you chuckle more.
“Aren't you too old to not be able to clean yourself?” you tease, wiping the ice cream with your thumb. Nikolai snickers as he licks your thumb shortly, just fast enough that the kids do not even notice — but you notice.
“Tsk. Playful,” you grumble, shyly. Before you can pull away, Nikolai grabs your wrist, kissing it before he rests his cheek on your hand.
“I'm tired...” he mumbles. Since you two are sitting side by side at the round table, it allows you to talk with Nikolai personally. You look at your husband and it's clear that he is quite tired of driving — also adding with how he came home late the night before the journey, he oughts to get some sleep.
“I'll drive later. You, sit at the back and take care of Karol and Mari,” you say tenderly, leaning forward to kiss his cheek. Nikolai smiles at the kiss, laughing softly — his laugh is just contagious, even if it's short and simple, and that's what makes you love to be around him. He makes you smile too easily too.
Not to mention, his voice is just the best.
“Mari is easy to take care of. My hardship begins when Karol wants to slop on my head like a koala to sleep.” Nikolai comments as he takes a piece of small waffles from the plate and feeds it to you.
“Well, if I'm a koala, I want to sleep on your head too,” you say before you reach his hair, brushing your hand against his white soft locks. “Soft... fluffy... and fragrant.” you tighten your hold on him, trailing your hands to his cheeks, squishing him as you glimmer with apparent happiness in your face.
“My husband is so cute.”
Squishing his face so his lips would pucker, you take a quick chance to peck his lips before releasing him. Nikolai's face is completely basked in a crimson hue, flustered by your aggressive affection. It's often him who does that to you, so receiving it himself makes him feel giddy inside.
“I love you too...” Nikolai says, slow enough only for you to hear. He cannot help himself from smiling and shifting in his chair like he just met his first crush. The sweet waffle cannot make him forget about the sweet short kiss of yours and the warm coffee cannot calm the fluttering butterflies in his stomach.
“Ugh, adults.” Yuri grunts.
“Shush, Yurochka. You can't even cut a potato.”

drag me down: little things
synopsis: since when did hanni and yn notice each other’s habits through the little things they do? from their sudden change in mood to yn slowly opening up, hanni is left questioning everything.
warning/s: mentions of abandonment, insecurities
words: 3k
previous | next
The news of the top two students being paired together had reached almost every student as soon as Ms. Im dismissed the class. YN isn’t one to be gossiped about, most students talk about Hanni and her possible relationships but no one knew YN’s life outside of school. Only a handful of people did and it was her friends.
“Well, well, well, look who got paired with Ms. Top student.” Yunjin loved to tease YN about Hanni, she theorized that they secretly love each other but won’t admit it because their pride is higher than Mt. Everest.
“The look of despair was so evident, I almost felt bad.” Chaewon was the first people YN met as the girl had been part of the student council during their second year. From there, either YN or her were the victims of the group's bullying.
“Are you going to work on it right away?” There’s always a mediator in the group and when it's at school, that would be Kazuha. She’s considered as the quiet yet scary friend but everyone loves her, especially when YN has a soft spot for her.
“Sakura-unnie is asking if you’ll be there tomorrow.” Eunchae, the youngest and most devious child, when there is chaos, the possibility of her starting it isn’t that low. Lastly, the other mother of the group who works part-time at one of the Park’s cafes was Sakura, whom YN met on her first day trying to learn latte art.
“I’ll take my leave tomorrow, so I’ll be there today.” When YN meant only a handful of people know about her life, she literally meant only 6 people. The Parks are very private, only a limited knowledge of their lives outside of business, her parents made sure that their children’s safety and privacy was their number one priority. So secretive that the public only knew that they have two children, neither gender being specified.
YN never trusted people that easily but she was clearly playful, independent, and responsible. A lot of people trusted her, similarly even Hanni took notice of it, how in her first year in a new environment and somehow a lot of people let their walls down. She wonders how when she never heard anything about YN’s personal life, as if it were non-existent. Hanni was left in the dark as she watched her rival walk home with her group, a smile on YN’s face as Yunjin teases Chaewon and Kazuha trying to stop them.
“Stop staring, she might melt.” Minji followed Hanni’s line of sight, it was going to be a topic later in their group.
“Have you wondered what YN is like outside of school?” It threw Minji off, Hanni, THE PHAM HANNI, asking about Park YN? There was only limited information about the girl, there were rumours going around that YN came from a wealthy family, a daughter of a mafia boss, a bunch of misinformation. Although there was one thing that people have concluded was that YN really came from a rich family, a confirmation was given by Ms. Park Jihyo, the prefect of discipline conversing with YN. The sole reason why YN transferred was due to being under the supervision of her cousin who recommended it to her aunt and uncle, no one knew they were related and both of them agreed to keep it that way.
“You seriously need to talk to her about that. No one aside from her group knows anything about her life.” Haerin surprised the pair as Danielle and Hyein joined them in front of the campus gate. What was there in her rival’s life that makes her keep everything in secret.
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — 
The following day, Hanni was much more observant of YN. She’s aware of YN smelling like coffee beans and a hint of vanilla, but she never noticed what she drinks when she arrives at class. The ice cold cup of americano and a paper bag with some sort of pastry but it was flat, most likely a cookie. Blueming Cafe? From what I know that’s under Park Food Corporations.
“You’ll have heart problems by the time you’re 30.” She wasn’t even sure why she said that, it wasn’t like she cared. All she did was cause the other issues with their bantering.
“Acting like you care, classic.” There was a difference in YN’s tone, or maybe Hanni is overanalyzing everything there is towards her rival.
YN took notice of Hanni’s sudden shift, like she was hyper aware of her surroundings. Setting her stuff down along with her snack and coffee to get her through the day, she got a whiff of Hanni’s perfume. A hint of lavender, a bit of praline, and musk… it wasn’t that bad, she liked it. Perfectly describes if Hanni was a perfume, aside from that Hanni was also wearing her hair up, a bit dishevelled being held by a clamp and a tired smile on her face. When did she start using a clamp?
“Wearing perfume, are you trying to seduce me, Pham?” Hanni rolled her eyes, taking back how the girl next to her smells nicely and comforting. 
“That’s such a weird assumption, Park. Not in a thousand years will I try to persuade you.” A straight shot through the heart, despite YN teasingly flirting with Hanni all these years, she felt a slight pang in her chest. There is a certain feeling that YN cannot describe with Hanni, not wanting to explore it any further. Only a few months till graduation, I can endure it.
First half of the day, there wasn’t much of a problem between the pair. Both keeping to themselves but Hanni took notice how YN would spin her pen whenever she’s not taking notes. How slim her fingers are and the amount of rings she has, perfectly accenting her cool tone paired with silver minimalist rings. Slowly, she noticed how her uniform may look neat but clearly her tie was always loose, the top of her blouse unbuttoned, and a hoodie on top of it all or the fact she never wears skirts, like the school gave her a free pass to wear pants. Hanni didn’t realize how long she’s been staring, somehow everything about YN’s style fits perfectly.
“Pham… stop staring and listen.” YN had slowly pushed Hanni’s face back to the board where their teacher had their back facing the class. From that simple action, she felt her face heat up, palms a bit sweating, and her heartbeat racing. She was saved from a close scolding by their Math teacher, maybe that’s the cause of the adrenaline and not from the embarrassment of being caught.
It wasn’t like YN wasn’t observing Hanni at all, she was just much more subtle about it. A piece of scratch paper was on the side of her notebook, keeping track of what she’s taken notice of. Hanni rarely wears accessories, but she does have various ways of styling her hair. Small braids on both sides, a messy bun, or like right now, it's kept up because of a clamp. There’s a key feature in almost all of her items, a fascination for butterflies, because who would keep an entire pack of butterfly clips along with an extra butterfly clamp in their locker? Lastly, her uniform, it's perfectly neat, like it was ironed a million times before she could wear it and not a single crease can be seen. Along with the fascination of observing her seatmate, she despises how Hanni would smack her when she’s laughing. YN never complained when Hanni does it, despite the pain and coming home to see it still a bit red.
By lunch, it was no surprise that the pair would go their separate ways but to see that YN standing in front of Hanni holding her packed lunch while she finishes cleaning her table. Either one would wait for the other to leave or maybe YN was no longer being subtle about it that Chaewon would always tease her. Still, it meant that Hanni wasn’t the last one to leave the room, both making sure that the aircons are off and the doors are closed.
“You have the spare key?” Being class president meant that YN always had the spare key at hand, if not Hanni could just go to the stuco office and get it there. Hanni has the privilege as the student council president, but YN wouldn’t admit it if she needs help from her, similarly to Hanni thanking her for waiting.
“Yeah.” YN patted her pocket but she heard nothing, no clinking of metals. She patted all of her pockets and checked her packed lunch if by chance she placed it there. Looking at the window of the classroom, she left it at their table. “Shit.”
“Ugh, seriously? This is the first time you’ve forgotten the keys.” Hanni kept note of those who borrowed the spare keys in the stuco office, and YN has not once borrowed it.
“Keeping track now, Pham? Are you gonna write on your project how I managed to forget the keys once?” Hanni rolled her eyes as the pair walked towards the stuco office, it was better to get the keys right away rather than when the bell rang. YN only followed, a bit pissed at Hanni’s comment, it was her fault she misplaced it but similar to her mistake for due from a spelling error, it only happens once.
“No, that would be too shallow, even for me. I’d write how stupid you look like you’re Kevin from Home Alone, realizing you’ve forgotten it.”  YN stopped in her tracks, a bit taken aback by the comment. It wasn’t the comment on how stupid she looked but the fact that Home Alone was mentioned. How would she tell Hanni that it was a sensitive topic to discuss that movie because she related so much to it. Being left alone during the holidays in a mansion only being accompanied by the maids and butlers that her parents assumed would take care of her.
YN kept quiet the entire time they were together, from opening the room to get the keys, giving Hanni the one that stuco has, and leaving the girl to eat lunch. Hanni took notice of her rival’s silence. Did I hit a nerve?
When Hanni finally reached her lunch table with her friends, greeting them as she sat down and ate her lunch. Looking around, she noticed YN wasn’t with her friends. No, I shouldn’t care about her, she’s my academic rival.
Danielle being the sweetheart she is, checked up on Hanni. It wasn’t rare she was late but she’s quiet which is more concerning, as if there was a ticking bomb in her mind waiting to explode at any moment. 
The last time the stuco president was this quiet was when YN lashed out at her, along the lines of her being accused of cheating which was then proven wrong by the prefect of discipline. That time, everything was a mess, Hanni profusely apologized to YN even with the amount of evidence that the girl didn’t cheat in the finals. It was the first time that Hanni was guilty for accusing the girl, but she still saw YN as a threat to her potential title of valedictorian. People making comments on how jealousy made Hanni finally break, badmouthing her and some were planning on bullying the girl. That was until YN finally spoke to her after weeks of apologizing. To say the least, it was a traumatic event for both Pham and Park.
“Hanni, are you ok?” She looked up and nodded, it wasn’t like YN would admit to her hitting a nerve. It terrified her when YN was quiet, bringing back memories from their first year together. Maybe I did hit a nerve?
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — 
Once classes were over, YN had managed to write a few things about Hanni, some are good but she lashed out during lunch but shortly after disregarding it as the girl didn’t know anything about her life. All she could do is keep the ones she’s written and gather more info when she arrives at Hanni’s place. 
Hanni was finishing with stuco duties, short meetings and planning for future events, the grad ball was a bit close and they needed a sponsor. No one was willing to ask or have any ideas who to ask, they were staring right at a wall, just nothing. YN was given permission to stay inside the room but she must not mention to anyone about the events being planned. They shouldn’t worry about her when Chaewon is the one that spills everything in the groupchat.
“Pst. YN, you know anyone that could sponsor the grad ball?” She does, she always does, her own parents could. She had already asked them, but it was Chaewon that asked her, not Hanni. If only Hanni wasn’t ignoring her, she would have told her right there and then that she does know someone.
“No, sorry.” A chorus of groans and someone smacking their head on the table can be heard. They were back to square one which made Hanni decide to end the meeting earlier than usual, at least to get them in the right headspace to continue the conversation tomorrow. Chaewon said goodbye to YN and Hanni, which was a weird sight to see, the rivals walking home together?
The walk to Hanni’s place was awkward, both were giving each other their distance but at the same time they didn’t. It was so awkward that Hanni wanted to scream while YN wanted to run away. Both wanted to be left alone but they needed to work on their project, they needed information about each other, what made YN so quiet and what made Hanni so terrified of the girl?
“So..” “Uhm…”
“Sorry, you first.” YN cleared her throat to signal Hanni it was fine for her to speak up, whatever she has to say can wait.
“Uh, about earlier at lunch…” YN hummed, quickly glancing at her. It made Hanni stop for a second, what happened to the cold exterior from earlier? Like it melted right away when they’re alone. Has YN been like this before?
“You were suddenly quiet… if I hit a nerve from my comment, I’m sorry.” Nothing surprised YN more than Hanni apologizing, sure, the home alone comment did hit a nerve but the fact that she noticed the subtle change. Has she been observing me?
“It did, but then again, you shouldn’t apologize. You didn’t know.” Hanni was about to say something else, until YN spoke up again, shocking the girl.
“Without saying much, it’s not insecurities from my looks. I have quite a high self-confidence to not worry about that aspect. On the other hand, I do apologize for lying earlier during your stuco meeting… I do know someone that could sponsor the grad ball.” That was the longest thing that YN has mentioned to anyone about herself, aside from her own group knowing her life and visiting her at home. She wasn’t giving much away, she had the self-confidence that Hanni already knew of. When it came to her connections, that was where Hanni is left in the dark, what is there to her life that she won’t share.
“Why’d you lie then?”
“I wanted you to ask me.” Turning the corner, Hanni stayed in her spot a bit. What does YN mean that she wanted me to ask her?
When the pair had arrived at the Pham household, which was empty as her parents hadn’t arrived home just yet. Hanni felt embarrassed, she swore she wouldn’t bring YN here under any circumstances but here she was, showing her around, going to her room and bringing out baby pictures. It didn’t feel as if they hated each other, no. There was a sudden feeling of comfort. She had managed to tell her about where she grew up, why she moved to Korea, what her parents’ jobs were, her favorite insect (a butterfly, YN knew that already), and how much she loves music. YN didn’t tease her much, aside from the insect and a few things about how adorable Hanni looked as a child, but somehow Hanni felt that YN slowly brought her walls down as she listened to her rant.
“And now, you know the basics. What more do you want to know?”
“The future, where do you see yourself in 10 years, Pham.”
Where did she see herself in 10 years? Well, first, she probably went back to Australia to pursue her college degree there or probably in Korea University to take Law or Psychology. Does she see YN in her future? Somehow, yes. Park YN is the driving force for her to be better, do better, and just become the better version of herself everyday. Weird. Hanni sees it happening, in college or in the workforce, YN would be there.
“Probably I’d be a lawyer, living on my own and helping people.”
“I assume I’m no longer in that part of your life.”
Hanni notices the little things, YN fidgeting with her rings, looking around, avoiding her gaze, and sitting up straight. Her body, it shows different emotions, she can’t pinpoint what it is. Maybe its the way that YN would look at her and have a short moment of eye contact that would make her breath hitch. The way YN would act upon without being asked to let Hanni wear her jacket. YN somehow without talking much let’s her body say it all. She may spit venom at Hanni, but the way she acts as if she secretly cares and thinks about her. When... when did she take notice of all the little things that YN does and why does it have to be now.
“Probably.” Uncertainty, a chance, a probability, that was what YN was hoping for. Somewhere in Pham Hanni’s life after their encounter in high school does she hope for a chance to be a part of her future. Whatever that may be. “Oh… I guess we’ll never know.” Pham Hanni was uncertain if what she feels is hatred or something blossoming.

As a certified Springtrap simp, which backstory for William do you prefer: one where he was a good dad driven mad maybe by jealousy or the loss of his youngest child, or one where he was always an abusive narcisist that cared for nobody but himself?
i feel like the, "im evil so i must also abuse my creations and/or children" has been really overdone. like idk im just tired of seeing it personally. and the whole "haha!!! im craaaazy!!" thing we get in the comics also rubs me the wrong way b/c. thats not. how he's portrayed in the games at all. esp hearing him in sister location he feels like he would be a calm sort of madness. he seems like a rational guy. he doesnt talk like that. he doesnt act like that. it seems really contradictory
i feel like him being a good dad (or at the least caring deeply for his children) gives him more urgency and like,,,,makes sense w/what we're given. it aligns the most w/the theories we have asta why he started killing etc. i also just enjoy the tragedy of it. he started out as a good guy w/good intentions and then was twisted inta something unrecognizable b/c he was so focused on tryin ta reach his goal. personally my hc is that he was jelly of henry and then the death of crying child tipped him over the edge and started his whole killing thing. imo its better than, "hee hoo i was evil FOREVER!! im PURE evil and have always been EVIL!!!" like. okay. wheres the subsistence?? give him depth dammit
why would he build a robot for his daughter if he didnt love her. why would he tell crying child he would put him back together if he didnt love him (not really cemented as something he said, but i mean who else would say it?? certainly not michael he was a boy. i think as a fandom we assume its heavily implied). it makes the afton kid's deaths so much more impactful. the prospect of this man losing pieces of his life bit by bit and being driven insane by it is enthralling
i love a good chaotic descent. i love thinking abt him being consumed w/a need ta revive his own son becoming obsessed w/life and death as a result. oh the irony of loving your own kid so much you would take others children away from them, knowing how losing your own felt. and the twisting of emotions as he sees his son michael someone who he would've died for, try ta stop him. b/c hes not understanding, they need ta b together again. thats all hes tryin ta do. get his family back tagether. and all these fucking obstacles are in the way of his only goal. and the manifestation of hatred of his own son b/c of this. b/c hes getting in his way. like, talk abt juicy. i want that man ruined. it just adds a layer of psychological torture that i just adore. william fucking ruined everything. he ruined his own happy family, he ruined his own life, and if he actually mourns that? chefs kiss.
my thought is, why even have him have a family in the first place if they're just there ta demonstrate he's evil? seeing the afton family purely as a plot device, we already know afton killed kids. one can assume a person who kills kids is a bad person (maybe? see this is where the juiciness comes in w/him caring for his children. is it really bad from his perspective if hes trying ta save his kid? or is it noble?) so we dont need ta b demonstrated ta that hes a bad person again. if hes just pure evil from the get go it doesnt make sense ta me ta have the afton kids be prominent in the story (besides michael, but even then he could probably be replaced by one of the victims family members) when you could illustrate the same point by focusing on the kids hes killed and their families. why do the afton kids matter if he treats all children the same. why are we focusing so much on the afton family and what appear ta b major story beats in their story, especially since the children he has killed do not get as fleshed out as the aftons do. i feel like if his family wasnt important ta him we wouldnt hear abt it at all. you could achieve the same message by making him single and childless.
do u kno how many stories there are of "Righteous Child Of A Horrible Guy Who Hates Everything, Even Their Own Family, Goes Out Ta Stop Their Parent And Save The Day" there are? its b/c its too easy!!! its too easy for u ta assume that a character is the worst and has been the worst forever!!! its too easy ta assume that an evil character would abuse their family!!! its too easy ta assume an evil character wouldn't have traits besides jealousy, hatred and narcissism!!!!

MLP Willow Wormwood
Im going to admit I use to love MLP back then. When I was younger, I had a collection of GEN 3 actually with this big castle. They had these weird magnets on their feet and it was so cool. Im getting off topic.
But Anyway here is my old Human Oc Willow Wormwood as a pony
Tumblr media
Base by Female Pony Base by OfYawnsAndSleeps on DeviantArt
Her name here is just Willow.
Backstory (draft)
Willow is the fourth daughter of her father Simon (No not that Simon) and the youngest of her three eldest sisters, Sage, Yarrow, and Nettle.
Willow was born somewhere far in the desert plains as her father Simon was exiled from the Crystal Empire quite a while ago for an act of unforgivable betrayal. Despite this, Simon was a devoted father to his daughters and would sacrifice everything for them.
Backlands
Growing up in the "Backlands", It was common to encounter all sorts of threats such as coyotes, Yaks, occasional dragons and venomous snakes. Willow had to be taught how to fend for herself and since she and her sisters were born without the ability to use their horns (due to Simon having his magic stripped from him), their horns became their weapons/gun.
Their horns serve as their final blow, as at first, they must use their hooves and teeth to fight, when their enemy is down then they strike the neck.
She became agile and very sturdy after 4 years of intense training, something she does miss as it was always cool getting to fight and learn with her sisters. Simon was not gentle either; but he knew when they would reach their limits. The Backlands aren't going to spare you thats for sure.
This formed her more hardened and withdrawn nature but she is open to her family only.
Equestria.
Willow is told about Equestria from her father.
Simon says they are nothing more than a disgrace and rely on stupid magic to save themselves and their problems. Without magic they are weak, hence why it is important to train yourself without it and to see how strong you are. This line of thinking has made Willow incredibly judgmental of Twilight and her friends. Especially Rarity, as she constantly undermines her and calls her a pure weakling. Her ideology is always solfidied whenever she challenges the Mane 6 to a fight. Out of the 6, she hates Applejack with a burning passion. Twilight however refuses to give up on Willow despite this hard attitude of hers, she believes maybe one day Willow will come out of this perspective and truly realize not everything is black and white.
But only time will tell.
Also here is a base Edit of her SIster Nettle...I hate it and Im probably just going to draw them for now on.
CONCEPT
Tumblr media
_Her siblings are going to look quite male-ish so get ready.
More Notes:
Simon forbids Cutie-marks as they mean nothing to him. Why do you need a stupid mark to find who you are? I something he says constantly
Sage is the eldest of her siblings as well as the strongest. She is as tall as Princess Celelstia and has a sharper horn.
Their horns are very sharp, chistled by the stones around the Backlands. It is said they could slice through even metal.
Unicorns are highly depsised in Willow's family, if they see one, its an automatic beat down IF they use their magic.
I might end up calling them "False-Unicorns" as they dont use their magic at all.

𝖆 𝖘𝖙𝖗𝖆𝖓𝖌𝖊𝖗 𝖈𝖆𝖑𝖑𝖘 . . . have a drink at my table , allow me to tell you stories — stories of dragons and burnt men . tell me about lady seok yerim . ( kim yoo jung , cis female , she/her )
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
: ̗̀➛ twenty-four years young , a firebender from the noble house of seok . many know them to be materialistic & manipulative . how unfortunate , truly . . . i’ve always found them to be intelligent & charismatic . they oft fulfill the duties of a merchant and a business owner . oh , i should tell you — they are impartial to the rule of house yi . well , you know how every storyteller bends the tale they tell .
hi everyone!! so sorry for being a late, tumblr was acting so weird??? like what do you mean i can't post this inro. but once again, this is maeve ( 21+ , she/her , gmt +8 ) with a revised version of our fashion lady, seok yerim ; who's now just growing more power hungry at the moment. just like this post and i'l immediately reach you to either plot in tumblr ims or in discord at your request
— mother's promised child, father's darling daughter — who is seok yerim if she's not her mother's pride and her father's joy? the daughter who's been prophesied to bring honor to her mother and glory to her father? since her very birth, yerim had always been seen as a heaven-sent child, blessed by the benevolent spirits themselves after the endless hours of prayers from lady seok who've done everything in her right to ensure the birth of another firebender into the linage, even to the point of making sure she'd given birth on ember island after one of the fire sages had advised her so. ( never mind the fact, the assumed birthdate was during a tempestuous storm striking upon the fire nation which even nearly nearly devastated the whole ember island apart )
— both lord and lady seok immediately rejoiced in her birth, knowing without a doubt that yerim was a firebender ; as she nearly once burned through her wooden cradle when a spark was ignited from her tiny fists in the midst of her thrashing tantrums whilst her wails and cries rumbled throughout the stone walls of the seok's manor in ember island. — not only she was the youngest child, seok yerim was the youngest daughter of the current head of the house, which led to her immediately being pampred and doted on beyond belief by both of her parents ( and most especially, by her father ). never has she ever been denied of anything and who would even dare? definitely not after the look of her pretty doe eyes and angelic smiles. — with her already displaying her fire prowess at only the age of 5, yerim had been sent to the royal fire academy where she had already showcased immense growth in her firebending skills to the point she'd been regarded as a prodigal firebender. even then, she'd also shown herself to be gifted in school with her growing talent and creativity in arts. in addition to her schooling, yerim herself was also still training and studying under a tutelage of scholars, firebending instructors as well as even a fire sage to hone her brilliant wits and minds to perfect. — it's been said that seok yerim was the perfect mirror of lady seok in her younger years, from her beauty to her intelligence. unfortunately, this meant lady seok had instilled a lot projection and an unreasonable weight of expectations upon yerim as she wanted yerim to only be the best of the best. her mother's controlling nature only worsened as yerim grew older, always pushing her youngest daughter beyond her limits to be the very best of the best ( even then, it wouldn't be enough for lady seok as she always wanted her daughter to always be more ) — her father on the other hand, only fed into her gluttonous appetite for pretty and shiny things as he doted on yerim endlessly with gifts and treasure, rewarding her every whims and wishes for every gained achievements. the juxtapositions of her upbringing, with her mother bearing her hungry to the world, but her father letting her gorge on her every desires only allowed her to grow a ravenous ache within her that can't be easily satiated to the point of she couldn't even stomach her own need. — under her mother's pressure, yerim decided to go along and finished her secondary education. however, during her last year of secondary education, yerim had returned with fresh scars upon her shoulder blades. ( yerim had claimed it was from a misguided use of her powers, but others suspected there was something more. )
— though even when she finished her secondary education, it didn't meant she was actually done with her own education. her parents ( especially her own mother ) had decided to invest an immeasurable amount of money in her education as she began preparing for her own career in ember island. — at the ripe age of 18 years old , lady seok yerim had exercised her rights as the direct descendant of the head of the house and engaged herself in expanding the family business. yerim who always had a taste for fashion and a talent of designing, decidedly to form an elite circle composed of the most talented dressmakers and jewelers and a build a name for herself whilst opening her first boutique in the capital. to which she, of course found immediate great sucess as the clothes and accessories were immediately sought out by the nobles and the boutique became fully booked with commissions. — golden girl, diamond divine : seok yerim was the leading lady of the high society scenes with fashionable trends ( as pushed by yours truly ) as she slowly began conquering the fashion industry whilst she expanded her lucrative business by building several branches of her boutiques scattered around the fire nation, even opening a few to the common folks. — often with the excuses of acquiring jewels and precious stones as well of other silks and fabrics, yerim often travels to ember islands where she even began to learn other skills. — unbeknownst to many and only known among a respected few, yerim had also founded an underground information guild where she not gained access to the many secrets roaming around the noble society thanks to her dressmakers and employees listening closely to the gossipy nobles in the fitting rooms, but also frequently sells them for a higher price. rumors also seemingly run amok on her possibly holding a highly confidential auction in the black market though she never really showed signs of it. — with her growing ambitions ands wants for more power, yerim now intends to enter the court possibly as a lady in waiting to the one of the princesses in hopes to gaining access and influences floating around the palace.
WANTED CONNECTIONS — currently, her connections and plots are still very much a working progress ( when has it never not be? ) whilst i write a page on them, but i have ideas and prompts that can be further expanded such as, the very princess she intends to serve ( whilst also making sure her princess serve looks ), academic rivals or rivals in general, unrequited love, ex-lovers/flings, potential customers and potential models, friends or frenemies, allies or enemies and many more! the possibilities are endless and I'm of course more than happy to just brainstorm!

hello hello hello! i'm kalo (21, she/her, est) and this is hyemi! she does NOT want to be here, but surely her time at lumera will shape her into a perfectly suitable magickai... right??? until then, she just has to be the disney channel movie character who somehow missed the chance to say "no mom... this isn't my dream, it's yours..." and follow her real passion. tbh, that hasn't even crossed her mind at all! so she's simply accommodating herself to what's expected of her and will continue to do so until she either learns to like it or she dissipates into the ocean or something... three cheers for repression! a more detailed delve-into hyemi can be found below the cut! it's been give or take 2 and a half years since i last did this whole rp thing, so please bear with me while i shake the rust off! (and while i finish up with my semester... lol) i'm very excited to write and have a fun time with you all! feel free to give this post a like and i'll pop into your ims as quick as possible for some plotting!
profile | bio | plots (empty links will be filled when finished ;;;)
hyemi is the youngest daughter of her family, her mother is an untrained magi (her companion died fairly early after her powers awoke), her father is a human, and her older sister is also a human.
her mother is essentially living vicariously through hyemi's becoming a magickai, to the point where she moved with hyemi from ulsan to seoul so she could enroll in the memoria of seoul. very pageant-mom vibes. hyemi loves her mom though and is very much reliant on her approval, which is what led her to her compliance re: enrolling at lumera and pursuing life as a magickai.
in reality, hyemi isn't too thrilled with the premise of being a magical soldier, no matter what fancy kind of name it's given. she's very envious of the more normal kind of life her older sister is living back home
her companion is a hedgehog named needles, who is a big pain in her ass and only adds to the pressure to get serious about her training. hearing feedback from someone who knows that all of her studying and training is essentially a front hurts a little more than she'd like to admit, especially considering it's coming from an animal that can fit in the palm of her hand. suffice to say, they don't get along very well.
regarding her powers, her control over them is very finicky, and is very easily swayed by her emotions. please anticipate finding her half-submurged into the ground or various walls. to counteract this somewhat, she tends to wear wetsuits or other swim-shirt adjacent items to help keep her in one piece, to middling results. at least it stops her clothes from getting wet? #styleicon. her minor power lets her turn whatever part of her that's water into ice, but she mainly just uses this to punch things a bit harder. she's admittedly no strategist.
her fighting style is very upfront. her powers aren't conducive towards offense on an especially grand scale, and fit more towards the role of a facetank, as her water form absorbs most forms of pain.
on that note, has been taking boxing and self-defense lessons since the awakening of her powers (she uses it as stress relief, but it has synergized with her up-close fighting style and the fact that her weapon is a pair of gauntlets)
maintains a very packed schedule both to distract herself from her general sense of dissatisfaction but also to exert some form of control over what she's doing at lumera (ie: her classes, her extracurricular lessons, hiking club, working at soap and suds, etc.) she's very particular about her schedule and about punctuality in general!
on a social level, hyemi is very much a people-pleaser, and thus takes great pains to not show off her frustrations with her current lifestyle. however, this leads her to be evasive and pretty resistant to forming substantial connections with people... whoops! she tends to shape her behavior to fit with other people and is definitely more of a follower-type than a leader-type. however, her temper is a bit of a ticking time bomb at this point (though, the fuse is pretty long!) so it probably will all blow up in her face eventually. hopefully it won't all land on the wrong target?
some quickfire connection/plot ideas!:
anyone who also attended the memoria of seoul! study buddies/academic rivals/etc.
you think her power (or rather, her lack of control over her power) is hilarious, and try to devise increasingly outlandish pranks/ways of catching her by surprise to watch her collapse into a puddle. (whether this is friendly or antagonistic is up to interpretation!)
someone to help her work through her newly-developed fear of large bodies of water
bad(?) influence: or otherwise someone who wants to break her from her rigid routine-based way of living
she's a caffeine fiend, so if your muse either works at or also habitually visits the coffee shop, they could hang out there?
sparring partners / work out buddies

Ok so again i don't have art for the little ones yet buuut.
There's 4, all of them little girls
Their names are Aria, Vivian, Rosalie and Lucia.
Aria is David's Daughter, she is basically a female David just as a baby, she shares most of her fathers traits, she has blue eyes blond hair and has a tendency to be bossy especially with her younger siblings. She can be pretty mean to her sisters but if someone else is mean to them she gets very angry because only she can be rude to them.
Vivian mostly just called Viv or Bug is Dwayne's daughter, she looks like a carbon copy of her mother just with naturally black hair instead of Blond. She may look like her mom but she's no where near as much of a spitfire as Virginia is, Vivian mostly shares her fathers personality being the calmest out of the four and can be a pushover. Aria also calls her a cry baby since she's the one who's most likely to cry.
Rosalie is Paul's daughter, she has the wild hair of her father which frustrates Virginia because her hair is incredibly hard to control. Both her and Lucia are little trouble makers, either they push each other to do something dumb or they do dumb stuff together, much to the chagrin of Virginia and Aria.
And last but not least Lucia is Marko's daughter, she has curly blond hair which is naturally very poofie, she looks like a mix of Marko and Virginia. She has the tendency to get incredibly fussy incredibly quickly especially if she doesn't get what she wants. She's also the first out of the four to jump into a fight if someone insults any of her sisters. Even though she is the youngest of the four she likes to pretend to be the oldest which quickly gets shut down by Aria.
All in all if you put all four of them into a room together with no one to supervise, either a fight will break out between them or they will just bicker amongst each other. All of them are biiiggg daddy's girls and they all see all of the boys as their dads even if only one of them is biologically theirs.
They can get very roudy especially if their dads are out and about while they have to sit in the cave. They all like to pretend to be big girls old enough to go hunt but the moment they hear a scary noise they all huddle around Virginia.
AAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW 🥹🥹🥹

HC: The Children of the House of Rys
Tumblr media
The Petals and Thornes universe deviates from canon, from TRH onwards. I do keep a few elements (some of the countries and the smaller stories about Eleanor, as well as the growing friendship between Constantine and Godfrey+ Bartie Sr.) but I don't follow the plot at all post TRR3.
Liam and Esther stay busy in various royal engagements and renewing political ties in the first two years, before having their first child. They have 3 children in total, their youngest two being twins.
As parents both are insistent on being as involved as it is possible to be in the roles they have as royals. Both came from backgrounds where one parent was distant for different reasons, and the other was very involved. Both know the importance of having both parents work in tandem to create a happy environment for the children. It takes a few years, but they do get the hang of it.
Tumblr media
Crown Princess Sofia/Sofia Eleanor Annelyse Regina Rys:
(FC: Im Jin Ah)
• Queen Esther's pregnancy with Sofia was a joyful time for the couple, but also brought to the fore past traumas that both Sofia's mother and father had been trying to avoid addressing. Thankfully, they got treatment in time and had a safe, happy birth.
• Her name is a nod to both her father's mothers, and Annelyse is a nod to her godma Hana.
• Liam gives his children Korean names, just like his mother did with him. Sofia's Korean name is Moon Jang Mi, after her father's favourite flower, the rose. (Liam's Hangul name is Moon In-su, and his mother Eleanor's was Moon Eun-ju).
• Sofia takes after her father. She is gentle and compassionate, but also strong-willed and needs a lot of convincing before she can change her mind about something.
• Liam is popular among the farming communities, especially Applewood. Sofia has a lot of goodwill among that community but is a bit more popular among the fisher communities, as she feels a special closeness to the coasts.
• She has been wanting to participate in Council activities since she was a teenager, and knew that as a royal who has significantly more privilege amongst nobility and the commoner section, it is important that she prove her mettle to the members. Later, she will meet the love of her life, Valerie Hawke, in her first years as a Council memeber. Valerie is the daughter of a Lythikan commoner, and since Olivia doesn't have any children she appoints Val as her heir.
• She swears by anything caramel. She has a HUGE sweet tooth.
• Sofia has had a knack for storytelling since she was five. Esther - glad for the chance to impart her English teaching experience at home - actively encourages her in this, including devising exercises to help with her creative writing skills.
• She moves away from writing stories when she's a teenager but her own flair for language definitely makes her a dream to work with when writing speeches and delivering addresses.
• While her mother and father focused on reviving the economy, education and mental health primarily, mental health and cultural revivals is what Sofia gets recognised for as Queen.
• Her nickname is Fifi.
Tumblr media
Theo Alexander Isiah Rys/Prince Theo:
(FC: Huening Kai)
• Shares in his sister's creative writing interests, except he is more inclined towards writing fiction and does so under a penname as an adult. However, unlike his sister, he develops this interest later in life.
• Both Theo and his twin brother Phillip are born 3 years after the birth of their elder sister Sofia. Theo's Korean name is Moon Yong Sun and Philip's is Moon Yong Jae.
• One of his middle names, Isiah, is a small nod to Esther's mother Isabelle
• Cannot really wrap his head around politics.
• Is the only grandchild of Eleanor's that is gifted with a guitar. He likes to boast that his singing ability is better than his dad's too (Liam is fine in a chorus but...not great on his own 😂😂)
• He and Philip are of the same age as Hana and Kiara's twins Fleur and Guillaume, and the four could often be seen hanging out of having sleepovers as teens. They're still a tight-knit group even into adulthood.
• He's the only one of the three who doesn't have a nickname. First because his name is short enough, second because he dislikes nicknames for himself.
• He and Guillaume have major crushes on each other as teens, are awkward as HELL about it, and admit to their feelings when they're adults.
Tumblr media
Phillip Louis Florian Rys/ Prince Phillip:
(FC: Hansol Vernon Choi)
• Had a fascination for flip-books as a child
• That is also how he got his nickname in the household - "Flip". For a long time it was the only name he would respond to and by the time he grew out of that phase the name had stuck 🤦🏽‍♀️
• One of his middle names is a tribute to his maternal grandfather.
• Among the three, he is the most accomplished artist. To the immense annoyance of both his siblings and the Lee-Thorne children, he loves the smell of turpentine. Joëlle adores him on sight.
• He also has a special place in his heart for public libraries and secretly does a lot of work to fund and popularize them. The Applewood library is his favourite.
• Consummate tea drinker. Cannot understand his father's love for coffee.
• The rest of the family loves New York, but both Philip and his mom have a special place in their hearts for New Orleans. Because of that, every vacation to America will involve a ride to Louisiana. Loves bananas foster and King Cake.
• Flip meets a young woman from the Blackspine Mountains when he is 24, and it's love at first sight.
Family HCs:
• Family picnics are a regular practice in the royal household, and Esther likes for it to happen in different areas of the country at a time so that the children can familiarize themselves with the landscape of their vast country. Theo always brings his guitar and at night they always sing by a bonfire.
• Languages the royal children pick up - Greek and English are the main ones, as well as Korean from their father and French from their mother. Additionally Fifi takes an interest in Spanish, Theo in Amharic and Fula (encouraged by a family friend who is a Princess of Orphys), and Flip is interested in Japanese.
• Food fights are cathartic. But you'd BETTER clear up at least some of the mess yourself afterwards rather than leave all of that to the palace staff.

I WATCHED PRIDE AND PREJUDICE FOR LIKE THE 50TH TIME LAST NIGHT AND I HAVE MANY THOUGHTS!!! BUT IM ALSO SO SO SORRY THIS ID SO SO LONG AND NOT SMUT I APOLOGIZE
omg okok so imagine aegon, he’s THE spoiled and seductive womanizer prince of the regency era, always overindulging in food, drink but especially women. unmarried at 23(gasp omg), he has not lived a day where he hasn’t gotten what or who he wanted… unfortunately, his mother is insisting on him getting married, being the eldest and needing heirs, when he would much rather just continue his life of countless drinks and women….
but then! when visiting one of his friends estates in a small town by the sea, that’s when he meets the most beautiful girl he’s ever seen(you!) and he HAS to have her.
you come from a small, not very wealthy family, your parents precious youngest daughter, the last unmarried child in the family. while you know you should start entertaining the many suitors that come by your door, enchanted by your beauty, you would much rather sit by the sea and read novels of lands far away. that’s when aegon first sees you, walking to town as he heads back to his friends estate, focused intently on the story in front of you and not at all at the world around. he’s so captivated by your beauty at first, that he doesn’t look where he’s going and runs right into you. quickly steadying you with a firm hand around your waist and another around your back, he can’t help but feel a bit grateful for the situation, to be able to have your full attention and feel your body against his. before he can get more than a few words out however, you quickly move out his grasp, murmuring a thanks and continuing on your way.
in all honestly, you found him incredibly handsome but having very little experience with men has left you unsure of how to proceed in such situations. this doesn’t deter aegon however and only fuels his need for you. now, every time he sees you, he goes out of his way to talk to you, getting your nose out of your book and your attention fully on him. at first, you were very shy, only saying a few words but after a while, he begins to pry you out of your shell. you begin to enjoy talking to him, his flirty and bold nature never failing to make you blush. ever since he met you, aegon hasn’t had any intimate relations with any other women, not even thinking of doing so, not when he has you. he desires to take you to his manor, to introduce you to his family and make you his bride and princess. however, he’s suddenly called back, due to his fathers failing health. unable to say goodbye to you, he leaves his friends estate in the night, hoping to return quickly. with his sudden disappearance, you are distraught. you had thought he was in the courting stages with you and that you would perhaps be getting married sooner than you thought but his absence caused you unease in your heart. a family matter regarding your older sister and her husbands finances arises, causing you to depart to her home in the capital to help settle matters with your parents. while in the capital, you are invited to a ball with your family in the royal families estate, your parents insisting on finding you a good, wealthy match after aegon’s disappearance and your sisters husbands debts. at the ball, you try to remain a wallflower, desperately trying to escape the countless gentleman’s who ask you to dance with them. eventually you find yourself wandering the grand estates emptier halls, exploring rooms when you hear a man and woman speaking in low tones. you peek around a door, trying to keep yourself hidden when you see aegon himself and a woman seductively beckoning him. distraught and betrayed, you stumble, accidentally pushing the door fully open and aegon’s attention instantly is on you, shock on his face. you don’t give him any time to speak, simply turning and running away, back to the ball and to your parents, begging them to go home.
upon returning to your town by the sea, your parents tell you that they’ve secured a betrothal to an extremely old but wealthy man that will save your family from debt but take you far far away from them. feeling numb and resigned to duty, you just accept it.
meanwhile, aegon is very distraught. the woman you saw him with was one of his many past flings and had cornered him in a room when he had tried to take a breather during the ball. she had tried to seduce him and aegon hadn’t been interested, not in the slightest, but you hadn’t seen him reject her. he had tried to go after you the instant he got out of his shock but upon returning to the ball room, you were already gone.
the next week he spends in a daze, trying to get all family matters sorted so he can get to you as quickly as possible. he catches word of your betrothal and this increases his worry and need to get to you by tenfold. the moment he is released from his duties, he takes his trusty steed, sunfyre and rides throughout the night to you. it is the early morning before your wedding and you’re taking a walk while the world is still quiet, not being able to sleep with your heartache. suddenly, you hear a horses pounding hooves coming up the road followed by the sight of aegon, disheveled and dressed only in a white top and riding pants. the moment he sees you, he stops sunfyre and dismounts, quickly walking to your still form. there is silence for a few moments but then he breathlessly tries to explain his sudden disappearance and the woman you saw him with was simply an old fling trying to get back with him but he wasn’t interested in the slightest. you listen to him quietly, heart feeling relieved upon his explanation. putting a hand on his shoulder to calm him down and let him know you understand, he quickly grabs it, holding it in his larger palm to his chest. he confesses to you that all he truly wants and needs is you and that he wishes to marry you and make you his one and only bride. you tearfully explain that you will be married to an old man because of his wealth and your sisters debts but he assures you that he has much wealth, even more than the old man(bc hello? prince!!!) and he will pay off any debt that your family is burdened with. he vows to call off your betrothal the moment your parents awaken and overwhelmed with emotion, you throw your arms around him, kissing his cheeks and joyfully saying yes to marrying him. he wraps his arms around your waist, lifting you up and planting a firm kiss on your lips, elated that he finally has you in his arms and nothing could take you away from him.
THIS WAS SO SO LONG IM SO SORRY!!!! ILL WRITE SMUT FOR IT AFTER MY CLASSES BUT I JUST HAD TO PUT THIS OUT THERE FIRST!!!!

Im sorry people are throwing a fit over a presumed age :( no where did you ever give lady B’s age from what im remembering she is only described as “lord borros youngest daughter” THAT DOESNT MEAN SHES LIKE 10
As for it not being a happy sorta fic, i never see people complain about aegon fics when that man himself is a drunken predator who goes to child fighting rings but “hes baby 🥺”
You totally deserve to be able to write your fic the way YOU want to bc it is your fic and its your blog. No one HAS to read it if they dont want to, especially since you always include warnings at the very start
I hope your day (night?) gets better and you can feel better about your writing which I am personally always in awe of 💕
No I didn't write anywhere her age, I just wrote how I imagine them (she 16 and he 18) because I wanted to make it sense for the period, and for Borros to say to Aemond "that she is too young and too inexperienced" and people started by like "oh no I'm not into underage smut why she can't be 18?"
And I mean guys, she can be ever 30 if you want, I don't care, that's why I didn't put their age to the fic in the first place, it's medieval story in medieval times not American Dream in Westeros. I just don't get why are you question me and then want me to change my anserw to make you feel better if you can just imagine in this regard anything you want?
I don't know it's just makes me tired. Imagine them as you see fit and comfortable 😶

Little rant, so you can skip this! just need to put my feelings out there. because my coping method of reading a bunch of fanfics so i can feel something isn’t healthy at all.
and looking at pictures of haechan isn’t helping anymore /j
tw// family issues and mental health
i hate being the only daughter in my family. especially since i can’t afford to go to a therapist anymore. since im the only daughter, im forced to be the family therapist to my mom, brother, and dad (basically the glue that sticks everything together) the amount of times i have to talk to my mom about how my brothers feeling or vice versa is literally insane. they can’t express their own feelings to each other because they will just get into a fight.
and i get frustrated very easily, i think i have autism or just a mix of adhd, angry issues, and some other things because i can’t control my emotions well.
but i’ve been working really REALLY fucking hard to control my emotions because i have to. because no one else can.
my brother and mother gets very angry/annoyed easily and even though i have problems too, im the one that has to control them
and this leads to many many many break downs alone because i can’t go to anyone.
if i go to my brother/mother/father literally the same thing happens, im labeled as “emotional” “over reacting” “crybaby” they can’t see how mature i have to be because of them. since i’m the youngest, they just see me as the “baby”
—i just had another breakdown—
and i know some triggers for my breakdown can be stupid. but me and my brother were having a disagreement on a video game lore (stupid i know)
i tried to stop it because i saw it was going no where. and he says “okay” and rolls his eyes. and it doesn’t help his girlfriend (who i get along with) is on the phone also agreeing and says i have a small brain and that’s why i can’t understand it (which i know is a joke but it really got me) but the point that really go me is when i told him i didn’t appreciate him being up my spirituality in a debate about a video game lore. because he always makes fun of me for being more spiritual.
i was just asking him not to do that again, i said “don’t bring up my spirituality again” with a stern voice. he took that of me accusing him of doing something bad, which i wasn’t i was just telling him it crossed my boundary and to respect it.
i just said goodnight and left because his girlfriend kept saying disagreeing with everything, which i get because why wouldn’t she agree with her boyfriend on stuff but it felt like i was being attacked for expressing my emotions.

「  maude apatow  .  23  .  cis woman  .  she/her  」 hey  ,  look  !  its  MADISON BARNES  rocking  up  with  their  camp  uniform  on  .  it's  their  3RD  year  working  at  cooper  creak  so  it's  like  they've  never  been  away  .  they're  pretty  popular  with  the  kids  due  to  their  +  KIND HEARTED  and  +  COLORFUL  nature  .  but  it's  a  tough  crowd  and  they  can't  please  everyone  ,  especially  those  that  say  they're  -  SELFISH  and  -  IMMATURE  .  they  also  remind  everyone  of  PUFFY RAINBOW STICKERS ON A PINK BINDER, BUTTERFLY CLIPS SNAPPED IN TWO ON THE BATHROOM FLOOR, HAPPY TEARS AT THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER  .  what's  their  favorite  activity  to  lead  at  camp  ,  you  ask  ?  oh  ,  definitely  SOCCER  .  well  ,  let's  hope  they  can  survive  the  summer  .  it  can  be  brutal  out  there  !
hi pals !! im bea (she/her) and im twenty one years old and i live in the mst timezone !! i am so excited to write the loml miss madi with all of you guys and we’re definitely ignoring how unproofread this intro is because i am tired but also i will stress if i dont get this up tonight !! i am much better at responding on discord but if you prefer tumblr that is fine with me !!! 
Tumblr media
madi would quite literally never complain about her childhood but would she wish for some things to be different? yeah :-/ she grew up as the youngest daughter in a super big family and it was not a bad experience she just had a permanent desire to be the main character™ and while she’s the first to admit she got a lot more attention than some of her other siblings it wasnt enough for her
one way she channeled her constant need for attention was through soccer !!! her mom put madi and all her siblings in it when she was maybe three or four and while everyone else dropped the extracurricular for choir or football or heck even ballet, madi really fell in love with soccer so she spent a lot of time doing that and got good bc she was a Student Athlete who hyperfocused on her sport
madison grew up coming to camp cooper creak and it all goes back to soccer once again bc her first year she came to camp she rolled up with an injured toe and a boot on !! she had been so distraught about not being able to play soccer that summer that her mother said “madison how can i make this better” and with a shrug and a mumbled “i dunno, maybe camping?” and next thing you know !! madi’s having the best summer of her life and she decides that she would keep coming back for as long as she could possibly could
madi grew up from that point on knowing she wanted to work with kids in some capacity and she really struggled with how. she wasn’t smart enough to be a teacher, didn’t like babies enough to work at a daycare, and honestly? she regarded herself as really only being good at soccer which hey maybe it all comes back to that big family because she was only celebrated when she achieved at soccer bc that was madi’s thing but how on earth could she make a career out of soccer !!!!
madi really struggled when it came to college because she had to choose between two dreams and it had her feeling like high school musical 3 era troy bolton; did she choose her sport or did she choose moving on ???? she knew she wanted to work with kiddos in some capacity but also the idea of being a soccer coach sounded Horrible and honestly?? she didn’t like the lack of stability that came with sports ,,, she doesn’t like any lack of stability tbh but she had offers from two colleges. one close to the camp which would be so amazing because she could still work summers !!!! the other college offered her a pretty sick scholarship for soccer but what if she couldnt handle the work load of college and soccer and she had a lot of anxiety about not being the best college soccer player since she was widely regarded as at least pretty damn good in high school
she definitely procrastinated picking her school but she inevitably chose the one closer to camp and she’s proud of her choice !! she did ultimately take a gap year though because like she needed time to figure out what she wanted to do but !!! she did find herself a cute lil place to live with her minimum wage job because she loves her family she swears she does but she simply could not stand to be in a house that was so packed and honestly??? she was tired of hearing her family tell her she made the wrong choice of college
by the time she actually got into school again madi had a plan and it felt like a pretty solid plan: she wanted to work at camps for kiddos throughout her whole life !! sure she couldnt work at camp cooper creak outside the summer but she knew she’d be able to find some after school activities to hold her over !! maybe one day she’d manage to open her own summer camp
at camp she’s Pretty Cool 😎 especially to the kiddos !! is it bc she acts like a kid half the time? who knows! maybe its bc madi loves trying to be a crafty bitch so every year she brings a bunch of sticker paper and yarn and those cool scissors that make fun border things yanno the ones and she basically lets them have free reign with all of it and shes not super strict on the rules because they’re just kids and as long as they arent hurting themselves or others, she thinks they deserve to have all the fun they can while theyre still young
of course shes a big soccer bitch you know it and thats when her competitive and constant desire to have main character energy comes out and honestly madi is not afraid to fuck up a kid to be apart of the winning soccer team 
but also madi is definitely there to help the kids especially those who just need someone to rant to because she’s definitely an enneagram two and her main desire is to help people and especially people who dont share her last name sorry not sorry to the barnes family
yeah madi loves helping people but please know its entirely for selfish reasons bc if she helps someone then they owe her one later and she will take advantage of that and honestly shes prone to sitting there while someone is ranting and instead of listening she’ll be like “oh my god i had such a hard day too, maybe even harder than yours” like gf simply needs to shut up sometimes but we love her regardless <3
Tumblr media
wanted connections:
childhood lover !!!! i think it’d be cute if madi had someone who like she met at the camp when she was young and they had a cute little summer romance and it ended at the end of the summer and it probably lasted that one summer and madi probably thinks its over but maybe its not maybe there are still feelings 
lovers period !!!! madi simply has Very Big Feelings All The Time and she’s the type of bitch to fall in love at least four times a day so theres potential for like actual romance feelings or maybe she just thinks there’s feelings bc someone told her they’d be a good match or who knows !!!! the options are endless !!!
future business partner !!! someone who knows that madi’s end goal is to eventually open her own summer camp and mayhaps they want to join her !!! i think it’d be cute to have them have like lunch dates just daydreaming over what they’re gonna do in their future camp one day
i dont know how to explain this but i want someone who is annoyingly high energy with her all the time like they come to breakfast with fairy wands and annoy everyone who rightfully is far too tired to deal with that bullshit that early in the morning
