lyric ask,,,every hhsa character /hj

okay bitch (affectionate) let's fucking go

juno: half awake, i wander through this house / lost in a labyrinth and left with no way out / i built this hall of mirrors all myself / the faces staring back at me look like somebody else - wander. wonder. by the arcadian wild OR so throw on the black dress, mix in with the lot / you might wake up and notice you're someone you're not / if you look in the mirror and don't like what you see / you can find out first hand what it's like to be me - the end! by my chemical romance

nat: oh but i'm quite small and i never have it all together / and i'm just a girl who doesn't have any diamonds or pearls / but don't give me your pity 'cause there's more to life than pretty things / so i'll just give you me - five foot three by flannel graph

eloise: well, i'm just a stranger, i'm only a walker / i guess i am human, but sometimes i feel / like i'm only a ghost, like i'm only a wall / and if you come around, honey / i'll probably just follow you home / 'cause it's all that i know how to do - steamboat by adrianne lenker

andrés: and you've come to know me stubborn as a butcher / and you've come to know me thankless as a guest / will you recognize my face / when god's awful grace / strips me of my jacket and my vest? - hymn #101 by joe pug

lawrence: there's rules to life i know / and if you follow them you'll go / up to the mountains and the clouds / and where the golden rivers flow / but I've always been so good at breaking all the rules / i wasn't made to be their robot / and i ain't nobody's fool / i am the goat that got away / but i know there will come a day / when i'll be punished for my mind / 'cause i led myself astray - what's a devil to do? by harley poe

margaret: i picked up the sword that you gave me today / took your blessing and then i made my way / hoped the first challenge would be easy / oh, great deku tree, would you please me? / all the heartless want my blood / all of the gods wanna spit me out as cud / if I don't make it out alive / at least i'll see my undead wife - the dying song by montaigne

draven: so kiss me now / this whiskey on my breath / feel the lives that i have taken / what little soul that i have left / and oh, my god / i'll take you to the grave / the only love i've ever known / the only soul i ever saved - chasing twisters by delta rae

pidge: and i have so many / questions / about life, the universe / and everything / i look up at the / stars at night / and i sometimes wonder / if the atheists were right / 'cause this world is getting worse / don't know if i wanna be here after the night - 42 by sage crosby

northernfield: hey, danny-boy, i was thinking of our crew / but thinking just makes me sad, and that’s why i write to you / how do you do? / there’s been years between us / didn’t we have big ideas when our school was done? / we’d leave our smaller minds and move out to oregon / but i was the only one / who went the road less taken - those days are gone, and my heart is breaking by barton carroll

ebony: out of the blue, everything's new / all the talk we heard was true / the legends we all heard once / the whispers from the storefronts / hope for the best / prepare for the worst / we wait like stock-piled landmines, ready to burst / wait all your life to see what you see / open up your eyes and be free - sicilian crest by the mountain goats

juniper: i dragged her down / i put her out / and back there i left her where no one could see / and lifeless, cold / into this well / i stared as this moment was held for me - drowning lessons by my chemical romance

claire: but counting down the days to go / it just ain't living / and i just hope you know / that if you say / good-bye today / i'd ask you to be true / 'cause the hardest part of this / is leaving you - cancer by my chemical romance

this genuinely emotionally wrecked me thank you for this ask do come again

I do Not expect you to do another one but for a rainy day: original hhsa four with 21

can you tell i have a fuck ton of feelings about the og quad (also this contradicts my own written timeline but shhhhhh)

21 - things you said when we were on top of the world

from the diary of headmaster bramwell ebony

the night before juno holbrook disappeared was a triumphant one.

bascus northernfield was a brash young boy of seventeen, all fine golden hair and unchipped teeth, and a dream so bright it made him hard to look at, his soul always glowing supernova. he was captivating, and optimistic, and he was dangerous in this way because when you looked at him, you just knew somewhere deep in your heart that he had it all figured out. that wasn't true, of course, but you believed with all your might that it was, and there in laid the trap.

so caught up in his stubborn, foolish hope you fell straight into the snare.

the night before juno holbrook disappeared was the last night of normalcy for any of us.

we had snuck out that night, uncharacteristically rebellious, but then we didn't yet know of the danger that hid just under the surface, coiled in the topsoil and tree bark. it was bascus's idea, of course. he had sneaked into town earlier in the week, nabbing a few bags of marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers (gluten free for claire), and he was bound and determined to have a proper bonfire before we all went home for winter break. the air was crisp and dry, the suggestion of the holidays strung along on frosty breezes and handfuls of snowflakes tossed about in the wind.

obviously we all went. when bascus northernfield made a plan, you followed it. it didn't help that i would have followed him to the ends of the earth then. i did.

"you know," he said once the fire was crackling in earnest, "i think we've really got something good going."

"oh yeah?" june cut in, tossing hair as red and wild as the flames over her shoulder. she had carefully broken back into herronimus property to meet up with us, which i still can and can't believe she did. "what might that be, bitch boy?"

june, claire signed with a mock offended frown, let the man speak.

bascus laughed. "listen to claire, she has the right idea."

like that, in the firelight, bascus looked more beautiful than i could bear. i'm sure much of my memory is heavily colored by nostalgia, but like it or not i was in love with him and had been for ages, so anything different than the norm shone like all the finest jewels to me.

i only record this so you understand where we all were. bas was our lighthouse, mine most of all. when there was trouble, we turned to him, his quick thinking and quicker mouth, and he was always able to save us. we had no reason to believe he'd ever let us down. and that night he was at his most brilliant.

"i mean, though, look at us," he said, crooked smile on his face. i could see it in his eye he was about to do something unnecessarily flamboyant that i pretended to hate but secretly found quite charming, and so i interjected with, "bas, please," and he just winked and replied, "you know you love it."

i wish to all the gods i'd stopped him then. it wouldn't have done anything to stave off the misery and heartache before us, but at least it may have brought us closer to earth before the fall.

but as it stands, i was so enraptured in his revolutionary voice, his grand plans, i had no intention other than to let him speak.

and speak he did.

hauling himself to his feet, bascus spread his arms wide, marshmallow stick still clutched in one hand. he looked like a preacher, spreading his religion to his congregation of three. what a foolish three.

"think about it. the best and brightest herronimus has to offer. brains, brawn, talk, and the most powerful witches to have matriculated since the school was founded. together..." and i swear the look he gave me was a deliberate taunt, soured by time and betrayal, "together, we can do everything we want."

"big talk for such a little fella," june snickered, throwing her arm around claire. she always was the doubter among us. i found it irksome at the time, but now i think she was the only one sharp enough to see through the posturing. claire only kissed her cheek.

bascus wrinkled his nose. "eat it, evans, i'm serious. there's no denying we're special. the universe needed us to meet. i'm sure of it. the world is in our hands, all four of us. together."

i remember beaming up at him, completely and totally taken in by him. his polo shirts, his shaggy blonde ponytail, even the little mole under his left eye. he looked a painting, an old master to me.

and so i did something that to this day i will regret.

claire and june were cheering together, holding their s'mores aloft in lieu of beers or some such thing, and i don't know for the life of me what possessed me that night, but the next thing i knew i was on my feet and kissing bascus northernfield like there was no tomorrow.

little did i know, that would be the case. our world would end the very next morning when bascus discovered his childhood friend to be missing, when a sudden surge of darkness swept out of the forest, cloaking campus in a tidal wave of inky spores, but then, it was just us four dumb kids, high on relentless hope.

it was a good first kiss, i think. warm and joyful and he pulled me in when i expected shock or fury and claire and june whooped even louder and when bascus finally let go we were both out of breath and smiling so hard our cheeks hurt. i know i took his hand, his soft, scar-free hand, and squeezed it. just once, just softly.

and bascus kissed me again, and i knew, in that moment, we would be alright.

👻just talk about herronimus fluff I need it

hell yeahhhhhh okay okay i have a couple ideas

so from the og quad i think a lot about bram and june's friendship? like something about studious nerd and cagey jock is a very good dynamic. obviously you wrote about their hair dye shenanigans but i think a lot of their friendship is sort of founded on a) june being an enabler, and b) bram learning a lot about siren culture from her. which, for june, is kind of amazing because she very much expected to be ostracized for not hiding that part of herself, but bram's just here taking notes and very enthusiastically asking her questions about communication and travel. bram is really one of the few people she can drop her glamors around and she even teaches him some clicks so he can talk to her with her original language

and in the Second cast of main characters i have some nat and juno fluff!! i think, after the season two arc of juno's magic being uhhhh Real fucked up nat's kind of the person he turns to for help? her light magic is a very nice counteracting to his sudden Necrosis power, especially because her power lets her commune with dead things and suddenly he's Making dead things. they kind of become buds after she helps him clean up the accidental power messes that keep happening. many many years down the line, the first charm tattoo he gets is one of her designs as a thank you for all the help she gave :)

ty for asking i love the blorbos from our brains
