Headstrong Great-Aunt with Homosexual Tendencies

[ambitionsource]

Hi, I am so here for all this ambition content right now. I check this page every day! I remember u guys mentioning about a rl and dasher road trip and I was wondering about that! Thank you!

hello pal!! literally so honored and happy that you’re enjoying ambition and the fact that you check our page every day... ugh you’re too sweet. hopefully the nonsense we do around here is entertaining! very happy to have you in our fandom community <3

so yes, rl + da road trip! i hope it’s okay that i took a bit to answer this, bc i wanted to ruminate on it for a bit before typing it up. so as y’all know we refer to the summer between s1 and 2 as “cruel summer” (thank u tswift), and similarly we have a code name for the summer between s2 and 3 which is “summer of love.” this is admittedly mainly because of rl, but also because a majority of the characters are in such a better headspace this summer than they were last.

boppin the rest under a read more, because i just go on... and on... and on............. (i really love rl & da)

-- Maggie

one facet of this summer is that around... july sometime, dylucasher decide they want to take a trip down to virginia beach (or the beaches in that general vicinity) because they want to check out a beach that isnt grey and cold like the ones close to them in ny, and because a trip before their last year of school together seems like a fun and Classic idea. originally they plan it for just the three of them, but somehow riley comes up and all of them agree -- especially dylan -- that it would be way more fun if she came along too. so they try to convince her to come along, which doesn’t take much convincing, it’s more so about figuring out how she’s going to get around cory because if he knew she wanted to go on a like week long trip with her boyfriend (who he doesn’t really trust) and two other boys he would probably have a heart attack.

you know, it would be like “you can’t go on an overnight trip with three boys!!!” “dad, you know dylan and asher. they’re gay. they’ve been dating for three years. they’re GAY. i do not think i’m at ALL at risk in that scenario???” fsdfSDKGDL

so riley devises a plan / cover story that involves like “going to stay with mom” for a few days, maybe a lie about staying over at isa’s or yindra’s for a couple days in there, you know, she lays out the whole lie and then bribes maya to go along with it and help cover her tracks (rl have very inverse influences on one another -- where riley sort of tames lucas and helps calm him and make him less feral, she develops a bit of a rebellious streak from him or just better identifies the nuances of which rules should be followed vs which were meant to be bent or broken..)

the good thing about this road trip is that it’s what truly cements riley’s friendship with dylan and asher. they’ve been toeing the line of friendship for like two years now (as riley said in cruel summer, she regretted not taking the time and establish a friendship with them in sophomore year before everything fell apart), and it’s kind of like it’s bound to happen. riley and asher takes a little more time to grow and develop just because of the kind of person asher is, but on this road trip dylan and riley just Click. like they were basically made to be best friends, dylan is the first person who kind intrinsically Gets riley and they match each other in terms of enthusiasm / personality / brightness. again, a friendship that’s just been Waiting to happen, and this trip really brings that to the forefront.

(on that note, i once joked that when dylan and riley get really into chatting about something and lucas zones out, they start sounding like the villagers in animal crossing to him. like if he stops paying attention for even a second suddenly dyley sound like this. and i stand by that claim.)

as for the trip itself, its not like i have the whole thing perfectly plotted or anything like that, more just... musings and ideas. oh and a playlist, of course i have a playlist. obviously they’re really good about swapping around drivers and sort of organizing their time since they only have a week, and i think it’s mainly funded by dylan’s youtube vlogger coin. asher helps and riley chips in her fair share, but dylan basically covers lucas because obviously he can’t pay but they all want him there. he makes up for this by driving the most even tho the other three insist its not a big deal.

when it comes to sharing space, the quartet of them are pretty good at it. obviously when they stop for the night they just share beds by couple, but it is interesting to think about how different these two relationships are in terms of like... you know, where they’re at. like its super easy for da to share a bed because they basically do that all the time now, but for rl breaking that boundary would be a kind of unspoken big deal and lucas would be so cautious about it. like they spend most of the summer in riley’s car (can’t hang out at her place with cory there and no one is going to lucas’s) and so theyve probably like fallen asleep together there once or twice and maybe napped ONCE at riley’s place when maya and cory were both gone in the 2.5 months they’ve been together, but it’s still... not the same. so at first lucas would be really nervous about it, but after the first couple of nights he’d relax and realize its really not that big a deal -- esp since riley seems pretty confident and comfortable with it. by the end of the week, lucas wakes up in the middle of the night and riley has cuddled up next to him and he’s like... okay MAYBE sharing a bed with someone makes points. perhaps.

one of the nights on the way down the coast, what truly breaks the ice for dylan and riley is that they break out a SMALL amount of alcohol and both get tipsy (which for them is just like. giddy and giggly and very chatty. they’re both happy drunks without a doubt). lucas and asher don’t indulge bc lucas doesn’t trust himself getting intoxicated and asher is just wary of it in general, but they figure dyley can do it as long as they’re both supervising. so dylan and riley talk A LOT that night and truly form their Kindred Spirit bond and also lucasher end up regretting letting them drink bc for like a half an hour dyley do this thing where they just pretend to share secrets with one another. like they theatrically whisper in one another’s ears and look at lucasher while they’re doing it and then start laughing and they’re literally not saying anything Important (like it’s probably like riley being like “psst... i think lucas is... hee hee... lucas is hot”) and then dylan cracking up and agreeing but bc lucasher don’t know what they’re saying they’re like ha ha very funny........... but y’all aren’t talking about us doe right. wait, what did you say. hold on --

a lot of the trip is also based around being in nature and the outdoors, since they don’t get to do much of that day-to-day in manhattan. considering one of their favorite spots to hang out as a group during senior year is at central park, they’re all definitely fresh air outdoorsy kind of people to a degree. so like, stopping at parks, going on hikes, and of course the beach itself. i made an instagram edit of one of said hikes when i was testing a template i made:

naturally, and i swear this happens at least once on a long road trip whether it is with family or friends or any combo of people, but you hit a point where you get irritable and start to get a little sick of one another. i think in this case that mainly starts between lucas and asher, because although they’re Best Friends i think lucas has a knack for finding ways of irritating him. and also lucas probably gets irritated by dylan’s high energy after too much time with no breaks, so he’s also snappy, and as they’re on the way back up to nyc people are spatting at one another or getting snippy over stupid things so riles is like. here’s an idea! how about we split up for the day when we get to philadelphia. this is an excellent idea and none of them are opposed, so when they arrive in philly, dylan and asher split off to go explore the city + historical sites.

what do riley and lucas do? well, riley takes lucas to meet her grandparents, of course.

at first lucas is like ummmmmmm no because he’s SUPER nervous about meeting her family -- the only family he’s met is cory and we know that’s... unideal, and eric, both of whom have a completely different perception of him bc of school and his behavioral record. he’s yet to meet topanga or auggie yet or anything like that -- but riley assures him that her grandparents are chill and she has no doubt she’ll like them. they’re also meeting lucas with a completely blank slate (i.e. no preconceived notions about him like those who work at aaa), so it’s not hard for lucas to make a good impression since he really is like... a good guy. not to mention no way is he snarky or deadpan in situations where he doesn’t feel comfortable or like he has the right lmao, so he’s on his BEST behavior around amy and alan.

the good thing is that alan himself kind of had a similar background and run on the wild side that lucas does (kind of like jack, altho jack was never as troubled as lucas), and so i think he would kind of... inherently Get him. like he’d strike up a conversation with him and at first lucas would be like omg why is this man speaking to me please i’m invisible pretend i’m not here... but after a bit he’d find it’s surprisingly easy to talk to alan. and they’d talk for like an hour and get on pretty well. meanwhile, amy is talking to riley and is like so... let me guess. cory does not know you’re traveling with your boyfriend???? and riley is like... perhaps. maybe don’t tell him? pretty please? and once amy convenes with alan and is like how is he and alan is all “he’s fine, we can approve,” then they agree not to rat riley out.

riley and lucas also climb up into the matthews tree house and take a look around and they comment on how strange it is that cory and eric once used to like, hang out in there and in that house and were once teenagers (lucas: be careful this is humanizing your father too much for me). and i’d think they’d sit up in the treehouse for a little bit and just talk and riley would talk about how nice it must’ve been to grow up in the suburbs like this, and she’s surprised when lucas agrees and he admits he fucking hates living in manhattan. and that kind of prompts this subtle internal thinking in both of them of like hmm well... maybe in the future when things are different and we can make our own rules maybe we’ll move out of the city and into a quieter life... they don’t say any of that out loud, but they’re both thinking it. and at the tail end of that conversation riley kisses lucas which turns into a Really Good Kiss... but then they’re interrupted by amy calling for them to come down for dinner and its kind of like lmao, they’re both a little bashful but in a casual silly way

hi kat’s autistic thanks for comin’ to my ted talk.

daughter of two highly regarded federation politicians.  youngest of three,  following john,  and andrea.

sister of john,  an author and co-owner of his wife’s restaurant in san francisco.  

sister of andrea,  who was a member of starfleet’s security corp aboard the uss persephone before her death in late 2237.

sister-in-law of paxton grant,  a teacher on one earth’s lunar colonies.

sister-in-law of amy cornwell,  owner of a popular restaurant in san francisco.

aunt of ethan,  thomas,  & abigail grant.

aunt of sarah & anthony cornwell.

classically trained in ballet and basic ballroom due to her aunt’s profession as a dance instructor on earth.  maggie claims she saw a natural talent and began teaching kat at a young age (roughly 5 years old).

her father died in 2209 (when kat was almost 10) in a rare instance of political assassination during a visit to a newly established border colony where the a small but vocal group of inhabitants weren’t entirely thrilled with the idea of being part of the federation.

shares a love of classic (printed) literature,  shared with her sister,  they each have fairly impressive inherited collections of printed novels of varying genres from their late father,  and volumes they both managed to collect throughout their lives.  kat also inherited andrea’s collection following her death.

moved to live with her aunt in her home in iowa in 2209,  due to her mother shifting all of her focus to her work as an ambassador,  which took her all over federation space.  something she opted to do alone,  rather than face her children after the death of their father (which eventually lead to kat’s career as a psychiatrist & counselor bc she wanted to learn more about how to help people handle their grief and post traumatic stress more healthily,  and a lifetime of commitment and poorly-dealt with abandonment issues bc she’s smart as heck but also a Disaster).

participated in several dance competitions and recitals through her teenage years,  boasts a small collection of trophies which are displayed with her old badges,  commendations,  and medals awarded during her time in starfleet,  generally in her quarters on the washington,  but they’re objects she takes with her whenever she expects to be away for a while,  as they’re cherished mementos.

didn’t dance nearly as much following her acceptance to the academy due to a rigorous dedication to her studies,  though she was known to perform now and then when her course load was lighter.

graduated starfleet academy in 2220 (age 21),  and completed medical training in 2224  (age 25) bc she’s Ambitious As Heck and did most of her training in psychology in addition to command training during her time at starfleet academy before moving on and doing her medical training post-grad at starfleet medical academy.

took,  re-took,  and failed the kobayashi maru three times.

once broke three ribs in a training exercise at the academy and didn’t tell anyone because she had two exams the next day and needed to study.

she only ever pilots a vessel if she has to bc she’s not great at it and it’s an Issue.

she keeps every scar she’s ever gotten,  due to nostalgia and,  as she puts it,  ‘they’re all lessons, so it’d be foolish to pretend they’d never existed,’.  scars are as follows:  a Lot on her feet and legs due to 15 years spent primarily dancing.  her feet are definitely Not Pretty to look at but she likes having something to show for so many years of work.  a few on her scalp & hairline   (  near her right ear   )   from an incident during her time on the griffin.  a rly nice scar from a plasma burn on her left shoulder.  a pretty gnarly scar on the back of her neck from the prison ship,  as well as some on her torso from ~general torture.

she has the names of everyone she’s loved and lost tattooed on her ribs right below her heart.  this memorialization began at 19 on the tenth anniversary of her dad’s death,  and it’s one she strictly maintains.

switched fully to the command track soon after achieving the rank of lieutenant commander,  in early 2238.  inspired by what she believed to be a preventable accident aboard her sister’s ship,  ultimately ending in her death,  and kat’s desire to hopefully assist in the task of putting better safety protocols in place to protect officers.  assigned as first officer of the uss griffin (late 2238,  aged 39).

received her own captaincy within 5 years,  in another instance of irony,  was assigned to the uss persephone,  the same ship her sister died on  (though there are rumors she pulled strings in order to obtain the posting,  which she’ll neither confirm nor deny).  —  late 2244,  aged 44.  served as captain of the persephone for nearly 6 years,  until early 2250.

promoted to commodore in 2250,  at 50 years old.  rear admiral in 2252,  at 53.  vice admiral in 2255,  at 56,  where she was given command of the uss washington with her position as a flag officer.

alternates between living in san francisco or paris while on earth;  depending on where she’s needed most.  she has an apartment in each city,  though typically defaults to san francisco,  which is where most of her most prized possessions are kept (though she keeps a modest collection of trinkets,  books,  and decor in her quarters aboard the washington).

following her time as a prisoner of war,  kat has lingering nerve damage due to returning to work too quickly and pushing herself too hard.  effects range from treatable migraines to weakness and pain in her back,  legs,  and arms,  sometimes so severe it prevents mobility.

a verse following the events of discovery’s canon.

POST SEASON TWO CANON DIVERGENT  —

listen she managed to disarm the torpedo like the goddamn hero she is,  and everyone lived happily ever after,  the end.  played a major part in concocting the cover story re: discovery’s disappearance & the decision to destroy all evidence that the ship had ever existed in the first place,  including helping her crew concoct cover stories as to where they’d all actually been serving during the war and after.  continues to serve as commanding officer of the u.s.s. washington which totally exists u can’t take this away from me.

MIRROR UNIVERSE  —

so far all i’ve got is that she has one singular eye,  a badass eyepatch,  and enjoys pointy things and stabby-stabbing.

KELVIN TIMELINE  —

tbd.

GREY’S ANATOMY  —

joining the army after medical school had seemed a natural step.  both parents had served,  so why shouldn’t she?  it was rare she saw any action,  instead helping soldiers to deal with the traumas they continued to endure  —  she was more of a behind the scenes player,  but it suited her well,  and she was proud of her work.  

an acquaintance of owen hunt and teddy altman,  and following an honorable discharge due to injury,  it was simple to obtain a job at grey-sloan memorial hospital in seattle as a staff psychiatrist   (  and she’s always liked the rain   ).   sometimes it seems a more chaotic work environment than even a war zone,  but katrina continues to love her work,  and helping others through their problems often makes it seem easier to deal with her own.

MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE  —

like most spies,  she was recruited out of the military.  joining s.h.i.e.l.d. was hardly the plan she had for her life,  but it seemed to fit.  she liked it.  the training was hard,  and lying for a living felt somewhat out of place with her training in the medical field.  but it fit.  for a long time,  she worked solely as a psychiatrist,  before electing to take more time as a field agent.  she excelled,  and began to move up in the organization.  it didn’t take long before kat found herself a high ranking member of the operations division,  reporting directly to maria hill.

the fall of s.h.i.e.l.d. was devastating  —  something she never saw coming.  the next months were filled with chaos.  interviews,  questionings,  but before long,  kat found herself moving on.  as suggested by her former superior,  maria,  she elected to apply at stark industries.  for a while,  she worked in human resources  —  she enjoyed it,  working for a company headed by a powerful woman.  but it wasn’t satisfying,  after time spent as a spy,  upon further discussion with maria,  katrina elected to begin working underground with maria,  and with former director nick fury.     (   probably gonna be reworked due to general development   ).

the fall of s.h.i.e.l.d. was devastating  —  something she never saw coming.  the next months were filled with chaos.  interviews,  questionings,  but before long,  kat found herself moving on.  as suggested by her former superior,  maria,  she elected to apply at stark industries.  for a while,  she worked in human resources  —  she enjoyed it,  working for a company headed by a powerful woman.  but it wasn’t satisfying,  after time spent as a spy,  upon further discussion with maria,  katrina elected to begin working underground with maria,  and with former director nick fury.     (   probably gonna be reworked due to general development   ).
