taster, murphia, tomley, luward <3

taster: do you believe that someone out there is made for you?

“you’re asking if i believe in soulmates?” he scrunches his face, trying to hide the giddy smile from it. “well. i believe in fate, in things working themselves out eventually. i believe in love, but also in knowing when it’s really love and when it’s just a ghost of it. and i believe in poetry. i absolutely believe in poetry.” he looks up, coy grin plastered fairly obviously. “does that answer the question?”

murphia: do you believe labels are necessary for a relationship?

“uh, yes and no.” he swishes words around in his mind, trying to land on the right explanation. “i think it’s important to know what the relationship is, what you want to keep it to or expand it to, but maybe that doesn’t need to come with a label. like, i’ve had experiences where it wasn’t quite dating but it was a little more than just sleeping with each other, and while i never really put a name on it i still always knew what we were doing with each other.”

tomley: have you ever fallen in love with someone you’ve only hooked up with?

raph doesn’t mean to laugh, but a sharp chuckle is the first thing out of his mouth. “yes, absolutely. i’ve fallen in love with people who held eye contact with me for too long on the subway, you expect me to contain myself when i get to actually touch them? no way. i’ve probably gotten off while planning a wedding or two, if i’m being honest.” 

luward: would you get back together with an ex?

“right now? no, you’d need a crowbar or two to pry me off of eddie. but i mean, if we’re talking past tense.” he thinks of his college years, how every breakup with robin until their last one ended with them inevitably finding their way back to each other. “yeah, there was a period of time when you could say getting back together with an ex was kind of my brand.”

mon’s deli: your muse sees mine eating a sandwich and crying 

grabbing a bag of chips to go with his sandwich, murphy paused before going to where he’d been planning on sitting, spotting frankie, “uhh... fran? are you... ya know, are you ok?” of course she wasn’t ok, she was crying while eating a sandwich in public! he sat across from her, ducking his head to try and meet her eyes, “are leo’s sandwich-building skills that bad?” he joked, trying to lighten the mood at least a little- he was pretty sure he’d never seen the other crying before, “um... so, what’s going on? rough day at work? fight with lucy? riley?” he wracked his brain for any possible solution, “i can give you a hug? can i give you a hug? would that make you feel better?” he opened his bag of chips, “chip? they’re sour cream and onion, though you strike me as more of a salt and vinegar girl- i can go buy some other ones if ya want?” he tried to give her a reassuring smile then, “i can start crying too! then we could be cryin’ in public together over deli meat... thoughts?”

💍 frankie, roman, eddie !! sdflasdjf

💍 - fuck, marry, kill.

“ oh wow this is an easy one! of course i’d marry frankie, you and me ‘til the end of days, baby! plus, i’d have the best kimchi until i’m old and wrinkly so what’s not to love about that? i’d fuck roman because - first, of course, and second, well why not? he can still come over and share in the kimchi my wife would make. and bye eddie, it was sweet knowing you. i guess i could fuck him, it’s not like we haven’t done that before hahahahaha BUT i don’t wanna kill frankie or roman, so it’s gotta be him. “

closed starter for @frankieshq​

nico was in many ways completely open and completely closed off. for someone so authentic, there was a great deal they carried around with them, lying in silence in their head. even after getting a chance to share something that had rested on their head and heart for so many years, to riley, it still felt isolating. they had been growing closer to frankie over the recent months, earning her trust certainly, but given her relationship with riley they hadn’t expected her to be someone they could turn to in this moment. and they didn’t, but the fates of bennington street were up to old tricks as nico stepped into the hallway outside their apartment, straight into frankie. 

“ oh, hey frank, i was just heading to the brew, ” they said, leaving their mouth as an invitation but hanging in the air in vague awkwardness.

bug, lena, madi, raven

bug: what do you like most and least about writing your muse? 

answered !

lena: what’s your muse’s safe space?

kyle’s safe space was zach. he would gently bring her head down, press it against his chest, and envelope her- arms wrapped securely around her. they’d often fall asleep like that. and kyle has never felt safer. that was before they broke up, though. for a while, kyle desperately looked for a new safe space before realizing that she already has one- well, built one, actually. it’s a bit cluttered, with the abundance of utensils and bags of flour stacked rather haphazardly in a corner. a bit cluttered and a bit messy, but it’s hers. sure, zach felt safe. but this- being in her kitchen- it certainly felt like coming home. 

madi: what does your muse wear to bed?

people often mistake kyle for a satin or silk person, but they’re wrong. kyle would choose cotton over silk anytime and is often seen wearing midi frocks with large, billowy sleeves to bed. dresses and wide sleeves are the best when sleeping as it allows her to move her arms (and legs) with zero restrictions, thus 100% comfort. 

raven: what’s your muse go-to coffee shop drink?

answered !

mon’s deli: your muse sees mine eating a sandwich and crying

he was in the thick of a busy shift. it was the lunch rush on a weekday, which of course meant everyone flocked to the deli during their lunch period. “emilio, enough with fucking the bell, already!” he shouted at the guy working the counter. he was blasting through tickets at lightning-fast speed, when a familiar face caught his eye through the kitchen to counter window. “Frankie” he thought as he looked at her & noticed how red her face was. he finished up with his current order & told his co-worker to take over for him. after washing his hands, Leo made his way to the booth where Frankie sat & slumped down into the seat across from her. “what’s up, Franks? The Old Man finally beat you at poker?” the smile that appeared out the side of his mouth quickly disappeared as tears began to fall from her face. “woah...Frankie? is everything okay? I warned you to never get the tuna salad sandwich.” patrons of the diner started to look their way as he tried to calm Frankie down. he wasn’t too affectionate with his friends & was shit at trying to calm people down when they were upset. “F-frankie what do you need? do you need a new sandwich? more fries? a hug?” he hoped she wouldn’t pick the last option, but she didn’t give him a clear answer. Leo awkwardly made his way out of the booth & to Frankie’s side. he looked around before reaching out one of his long arms & gently placing it on her opposite shoulder. “uh...there, there? it’ll be okay, just...calm down...” Leo was so uncomfortable that he felt his cheeks start to burn as he blushed; he hated how everyone was staring at this interaction & prayed Frankie would stop crying soon. as fate would have it, at that exact moment Frankie broke out into a fit of laughter & Leo realized this had all been an elaborate prank to embarrass him. “oh, you’ve gotta be fuckin’ kidding me!” his arm shot back to his side & he shook his head as he began to laugh along with his friend. “you’re such a jerk, you know that?” he shook his head & started walking back to the kitchen before turning back to Frankie & saying: “you’re bringing the beers tomorrow night because of this & you’re getting me my own 6 pack. I can’t wait to wipe the floor with you at poker!”

sibby, lili, faye !!

sibby: what’s your muse’s favorite ice cream flavor/s? 

okay, so aster’s all-time fave would be cotton candy. especially the ben & jerry’s one with the candy sprinkles! followed closely by cookie dough ice cream because being told you shouldn’t eat raw cookie dough is the best way to make aster fall in love with it. ( the way madi got my hopes up with an ice cream called moon mist?? smh ) however, she also loves any ice cream that’s either pretty or weird. bonus points for both!

lili: does your muse believe in soulmates? 

oh yeah!! aster has always believed in soulmates. fairy tale endings and promises of ‘ the one ’? she ADORES that. pretty much every serious relationship she’s had was someone she considered her soulmate. having that guarantee someone is out there for her is v important.

faye: what’s your muse’s night routine?

fair warning: this is just messy rambling from harley

aster isn’t organized enough to have a ~routine~ but she definitely has things she makes sure she does every night in no particular order. it’s amazing she hasn’t started a fire yet bc lighting candles is an every night thing. pink to send good energies to loved ones & white to use your intentions and energy to help loved ones have a good sleep. a cleansing shower with spell jars & crystals to end the day. leaving all her tarot cards, crystals & anything else to charge under the moon. writing out a lil schedule for the next day and putting a good luck sigil on it. that also gets charged under the moon. some tea to unwind as well as a tea leaf reading. with all the cleansing and charging energy of her night routine, disconnecting from technology before bed would fit, but aster doesn’t do it. on nights when she doesn’t have anyone over, she’s the type to call someone she loves just before bed bc she likes to hear the sound of their voice. living alone is Not It for her. however, she does meditate before bed. gotta align those chakras. variations to the list accounting for moon phases ofc. she’d also have a skincare routine ( probably picked out by the aesthetic of the packaging... i won’t lie. ) i wouldn’t say this is a Night Routine Thing, but she’d be the type to put a lil throw blanket in the dryer just for it to be warm and wrap herself after a rough day.

💤 - sleep with fully clothed, sleep with in underwear, sleep with naked. (  roman, sophia, raphael )

“ sleep with naked is easy, it’s gotta be raph. as for the other two, i’ll pick sophia for fully clothed, i respect her way too much for that ( and she’s made it pretty clear in the past that she doesnt want to be anywhere around me in our underwear ). that means me and roman are gonna be in our underwear, so he better stick to his side of the bed “

french vanilla + forest rain

french vanilla: what does love feel like to you?

"Oh.” What a way with words Raph has. The poets, the lovers, the artists, all of them grappling with what exactly love is, and all he can muster is a feeble ‘oh’ as contribution. He tries to regroup and retry. “I mean, I think it varies depending on who the love is for. But that’s a generic answer, right? Right. Let me think.” He taps his fingertips against the table in rhythmic contemplation. “I think love kind of... hurts. I mean, sometimes it hurts because it’s unhealthy and toxic and I don’t quite know how to stop it even when I know I should, so that makes sense. But even when it’s going as well as it possibly could, I still find that it can hurt, but not in a bad way. That doesn’t make sense. What I mean is that - it’s like summer weather, you know? It’s golden and sun-kissed and the warmest feeling on your skin, but then at the same time, it can get a little hard to breathe through all that heat if you don’t portion it properly.” He makes a face, half-wincing and half-something else entirely. “I’m saying nothing. I think the point is that sometimes love makes me feel like an alien in my own heart, but other than that love is divine - great kid through and through, a pleasure to have in class.” 

forest rain: how long do you think you could survive in the wilderness?

He’s laughing before the question is even finished. “Me? In the wilderness? I threatened to disown myself from my parents after a week of being enrolled in boyscouts, so I’d give myself maybe three days. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m a big fan of hiking and exploring this nation’s highly threatened wildlife, but the point of all that is that you stay on the path and go home at the end of it. Something about getting mauled alive by bears in the middle of the night just doesn’t fit in my vision board.”

“ are people really only just realising that’s there are probably things in a stage show that you can’t tell by listening to the soundtrack? “ nico asked, scrolling through another day of constant hamilton discourse on their timeline. nico had called frankie down the asian brew for some sense of accountability, but somehow still they were on their phone and not working on the script in front of them. nico needed everything to be just right to write, and they always found excuses.

❝ i technically have my license, and who better to make a liquor run than your local bartender? but i’ll can’t go alone, i’ll need backup!❞  featuring @asterrology​ & @frankieshq

[rcbinpenn]

the debut feature film starring @frankieshq​​​ !!

it’s been a fucking day, to say the least. he finishes up at alex’s apartment and deems himself too exhausted to do very much else except for collapse on his bed, which he intends to do the moment he steps into his shared apartment. in the run-down state robin’s in, he’s not even sure he can make it to his bedroom with ice in hand, which is why the couch is looking like a particularly good crash point. what he finds, however, is that even if he wants to make use of his couch, someone else already has it occupied. frankie sits there, not spotting him from where she’s looking down at her phone, which is the exact moment that robin decides someone must actually have it out for him. “trying to steal tommy’s couch-surfing gig now that he actually has a bedroom?” he asks as he drops his bag and coat. “as delighted as i am at the thought of rowena finally getting some, i’d really appreciate it if you could do your walk of shame on literally any other piece of furniture in this apartment. if i die of blood loss after all, i was kind of hoping the couch would be my final resting place.”

lucin, tasterico, elico, fralex

lucin: in a relationship, would you be the one taking pictures or the one having their picture taken?

“ is it cheating to say a mixture of both? ” probably. “ i think taking a photo of someone is a beautiful thing. loving a moment enough to want to capture it forever. i think the idea of having those moments and taking those photos is absolutely amazing, but i also think being the reason someone is that happy in a moment is wondrous. ”

tasterico: two bennington residents you’d love to have a threesome with?

“ excluding tommy because there’s obviously an unfair advantage that i’d pick him every time... my answers would have to be eliza and frankie. i know a threesome isn’t the same as soulmates, but it’s sad to think they don’t believe there’s someone out there for them. i want to give them both some affection. ”

elico: would you risk your friendship with someone for a chance at lifelong love?

“ definitely. if that person could be the love of your life, i think you owe it to yourself to try. it’s one of those times you have to put your trust into the universe and your lover. what’s meant to be will work out in the end. ”

fralex: what’s your favorite romcom?

“ oh, there are so many! if i had to pick a favourite, i’d say letters to juliet. ” although it changes frequently. “ i just think the idea of reuniting former lovers and the way the universe will guide you to where you’re meant to go is beautiful. even if you don’t know it yet. plus, everything about the filming location is gorgeous. ”
