#hawthorne pet headcanons

[riddles-n-games]

So, we all love unexpected headcanons, right? Because I had one pop into my head earlier about Jameson and had to share it. To put in some context, let's first start off with background: orange cats, we all know that they're special in their own way. Compared to other cats, they're just different. These cats are accident prone and also their behavior is just a scientific anomaly; add it to the already long list of things that scientists argue about (that last brain cell is constantly overworking and there's never enough glucose to provide for it [Krebs cycle could never]). They could be their own breed as far as I'm concerned. The world and physics works different for them, don't ask me why. It makes about as much sense as to why cats also classify as liquid.

Enter Jameson Winchester Hawthorne. He's basically the Mad Hatter and Cheshire Cat combined of his brothers (although this can also be applied to Xander in some ways, too). He is controlled chaotic energy personified. Now, take Jameson and an orange cat. The chaos would be unmatched.

While I can't see Jameson as much of a cat person compared to Grayson, this type of cat would be PERFECT for him. It's like looking in a mirror, his perfect missing half. Hawthorne House would never be the same. This cat would be attached to the hip with him and I can imagine it being a male named either Nacho, Cheese, or Cheetos. Regardless, this cat would be the epitome of madness and Jameson would be its unleash-er. Meanwhile, Avery would be driven to insanity with this new cat; she would love him all the same but she would be rather annoyed by the mess and just the many new antics her boyfriend is participating in. There would be no peace and she would need to find new mental stability as she tries to escape the whirlwind of craziness that follows her everywhere. Oh, and what's even worse, this wouldn't be confined to indoors; this cat is an outdoor feline. I'll let you chew on that and imagine where it goes.

Do you have any Kane headcanons?

I sure do! <3

EDIT: shout out to @reallyrallyauthor who has just posted some amazing headcanons too!

Smells floraly. It’s not an extreme/off putting smell, but it hits you every now and then. At first, you think it’s just his body wash or something, but pretty soon you work out it’s just him. (My brain is telling me especially like a Hawthorn scent for some reason.) 

Animals love him. It’s almost like they are hypnotised/drawn to him. Wild animals will act domesticated/docile around him. Pets will instantly bond with him. He doesn’t seem to bat an eye at this and just acts as if it’s completely normal. 

Once a grizzly bear came out of nowhere when you were both on a hike, despite the noise you had made sure you’d been making. You’d frozen, grabbing at Kane’s arm. But Kane had just cocked his head to the side and the bear had sat down peacefully. 

“It’s fine.” Kane had told you, voice even and quiet.

But when he saw your panic, he’d nodded his head to the side and the bear had walked off that way. 

He didn’t understand why you’d dragged him back to the car. “It was fine.” 

“Grizzly’s kill people Kane.” 

“We were safe.” 

“You can’t know that.” 

He’d looked at you carefully, as if you were a toddler trying to convince him you’d see a flying pig. 

He doesn’t like to shake hands when meeting new people. It’s unsettling for him, makes his skin crawl. But he’ll do it anyway once he learns about social niceties to try to fit in. However, he’ll grab your hand afterwards and squeeze it rhythmically to calm down and get rid of the stranger’s touch. 

He gets overstimulated easily in new situations around new people and will just shut down, not speaking and avoiding eye contact completely. His warning signs are subtle and easy to miss unless you’re paying attention. 

However, if you’re near he’ll find you and just say, “leave.” quietly. 

He also comes to you when he’s overstimulated, most of the time he’ll just bury his face in your neck to shut out whatever is causing him distress. 

Despite not liking touching strangers he is more than happy to touch plants, animals and inanimate objects. And you. 

In fact he rarely does anything without some kind of physical contact with you. Holding your hand or touching your arm or leg, putting his head on your shoulder, practically laying in your lap. He’s like a cat. 

Doesn’t like it when you’re upset. It’s one of the rare times you see an immediate reaction from him, even if he doesn’t understand what’s upset you or made you angry he’s doing whatever he needs to to fix it. To stop you from feeling pain. 

Someone once pushed you rudely in the supermarket and you frowned. Kane was one second away from throwing a punch. You had to drag him out of the shop and explain that that wasn’t an ‘appropriate response’. 

He has settled on being very vocal if someone is impolite towards you, just saying “Rude.” very loudly and pointedly while staring the offender down. 

People don’t like his stare. The one he only seems to use when something’s gone wrong. When someone’s trying to square up to him. It seems to stop them in their tracks and make them reconsider. Causes a little spike of terror in their hearts. 

He’s never used the look on you, only gazing at you quizzically or softly. 

He follows you around, a little lost at times. Needing to be in the same room as you. 

At first it was a little disconcerting. The way he’d climb into your bed in the middle of the night. How he once got in the bath with you (fully clothed and not understanding your shock). You never feel scared around him though, you know he’ll never hurt you. 

Thank you for reading!

random tig headcanons pt.3!

I haven’t done these in a while, so let’s go!

~ all of the hawthorne brothers have dimples. jameson and xander’s are really prominent and nash’s are more subtle. grayson never smiles, so only a few people are sure about his.

~ avery hates dust jackets on books and takes them off every time. it doesn’t matter how pretty it is, it’s annoying.

~ part of nash’s personality is what I like to call “grandma nash”. he calls everyone ‘sweetheart’, he knows how to knit, he plays candy crush, he doesn’t know how to take a selfie, and his hearing isn’t great.

~ jameson loves dogs and always asks to pet a dog whenever he sees one. he’s not scared of any dog, big or small.

~ grayson likes to act all tough like he’s immune to everything but in reality, he has a bunch of allergies and is severely allergic to nuts, fish/shellfish, and blackberries. he’s also lactose intolerant.

~ max has an auditory processing disorder and can never hear what people are saying correctly. she’s the friend that asks ‘what?’ every time you say something.

~ while jameson loves to drink, avery hates the taste of alcohol and never drinks. she’s always the designated driver at parties and events.

~ jameson can do a bunch of crazy voice impressions - kermit the frog, elmo, kronk, and a bunch of other celebrities and cartoon characters.

~ when xander is in the sun for a long period of time, you can see that he has quite a lot of freckles and they’re so cute.

~ when the hawthorne brothers were little, tobias constructed a massive indoor playground for them to play on as kids. they still play on it as adults. ~ libby likes to do nash’s eyeliner, and god, does he look good

~ max cannot spell for her *life*. her texts to avery always look like gibberish and no one can tell what she’s trying to say.

~ grayson hated middle school pe but jameson was that one boy that was just a complete show-off. he could do a hundred push ups and sit ups, run the mile in five minutes, do the most laps on the pacer, etc. it made all the ladies swoon ofc.

~ oren is the KING of just dance, convince me otherwise. xander is a close second place.

~ avery is a ravenclaw, jameson is a gryffindor, nash is a hufflepuff, grayson is a slytherin, xander is a hufflepuff, max is a gryffindor, and libby is a hufflepuff!

that’s all I have for now, byeeee! <3

[fqvoritism]

my averygrayson headcanons

hi this is my first time writing headcanons so go easy on me

-grayson sometimes annotates books that he reads from the many hawthorne libraries. avery, while reading some of the books, notices them, but only realizes their grayson's notes when she sees his handwriting and puts two and two together.

-she writes in the books too, and she'll go back to a book she put back only to see gray's annotations too.

-they'll reply or add on to the other annotations.

-gray puts little checkmarks on avery's notes in agreement but he's not shy to challenge her ideas sometimes with question marks.

-avery puts exclamation marks and question marks, but also things like "NO WAY!" in response to his.

-for some event, avery and grayson find themselves on the dance floor, but of course, avery doesn't know how to dance formally, so grayson takes it in himself to teach her.

-she steps on his foot. "sorry"

"you should be sorry, your form is terrible."

-alisa forces gray to give her lessons, even though he was already going to.

-so he makes a playlist of songs for them to dance to in the hawthorne ballroom. just him and her slow dancing.

-which in turn gives more longing looks and romantic tension between the two.

-she laughs when he dips her.

-avery tells him gossip she's overheard in school and grayson gives actual, logical advice on what to do.

-gray secretly loves libby's cooking and loves it even more when avery helps her in the kitchen. they share stolen glances.

-he pretends he's taking pictures of the food, when really its her he's trying to take a picture of. despite his attempts at secrecy, avery knows that she's the focus.

-intense games of chess. like going on for hours, having to be broken up by xander because they are i n t e n s e

-grayson will mention having to practice a certain piece or how hard a song to play on violin is and avery will research that piece to understand.

-then avery gets hooked on classical music, and they talk about paganini for days.

-grayson has perfect pitch and while he never does, he actually sings very well and avery is shocked.

-nonetheless she loves his voice.

-avery gets gray a film camera to be all pinteresty and stuff and at first he doesn't really like it because he's used to clarity and high quality but it makes her happy and he gets the appeal of the vintage look.

-and of course avery makes sure to take a bunch of pictures of him bc he's always taking pictures of everyone else.

-gray will say stuff like "the chocolate is better in france," or make some comment about another country and avery forces him to talk more about what that country was like and she listens and admires every. single. detail.

-he plans to take her anywhere she wants to go after her required time in hawthorne house.

-beach dates. avery sits in the sun, reading a book, and best of all soaks in shirtless grayson hawthorne, swimming.

-they'd definitely be co pet parents (maybe a cat).

edit: i still get notes on this so i just wanted to say i wrote these before the final gambit came out and i don't really ship averygrayson anymore :/ but thanks for reading anyway :)

[oflights]

Hi hi!! I just came from Along Each Garden Wall and absolutely love it! I'm wondering if it's possible to hear your headcanons about the Potter-Malfoy household?🥺 What are their parenting styles? Once again thank you so so much for it, I was so happy reading it 💜

anon, i'm so sorry this took me so long! i was away and wanted to give this a good amount of attention, because i love it so much! i think of harry and draco in that world a lot and i love imagining them as parents. i'll use a cut for length because i have Thoughts!

one thing i headcanoned that didn't make it into canon was that draco def had twins after the end of along each garden wall lol. i imagined their magical compatibility + magical fertility help was analogous to IVF and multiples are more common with IVF (i know the science of why multiples are more common doesn't exactly translate but whatever, it's magic, go with me here).

so, twins! which is hectic and a bit chaotic and that just works so well with their large pet and human family lol. like i think what's fun about that world is that harry and draco are both surrounded by big families (the extended malfoys, the weasleys) as they've built their own with rescues and strays, and the idea of them adding to that with twins (and lbr, probably more foster fails) is so much fun. especially in hawthorn house, nestled in this big, wild garden.

one thing i also think of is that they have kids when they're at a place of being so ready for it, and that translates to a sort of natural ease into parenting. they're both uncles and godfathers and they're both trying, really hard i think, to either emulate good examples of parenting (their friends, the weasleys) and counter bad examples (the extended malfoys, the dursleys). draco probably gets bogged down in trying too hard, a bit, and harry has to sort of reassure him that he's doing well.

but draco is also really good at being doting and protective and affectionate and just super demonstrative, in a way that harry might struggle with a bit. harry winds up being more of a dad who's also their best friend, which balances out with draco's parenting style nicely!

i also love the idea of one twin (probably the older one, who revels in being like 10 minutes older) being a mini-draco and one twin being a mini-harry, not necessarily in looks but in personality. and they're all very close but even more i love the idea of the mini-draco being closer to harry and the mini-harry being closer to draco. and they grow up surrounded by lots of animal best friends and so many older cousins and aunts and uncles. 🥹

mogtober day 14: headcanons!

i think hawthorne and cadence share the same taste in books, and exchange recommendations

morrigan and jack and jupiter and kedgeree have chess rivalries, and have a chess tournament together every sunday

hawthorne goes to thrift stores and gets the weirdest shirts, and wears them with pants that clash horribly

jupiter loves puns and morrigan hates them

cadence is a theater kid (specifically design crew)

the hotel deucalion runs dnd nights, and frank’s the dm. there’s a recurring group that includes arch, jupiter, dame chanda, kedgeree, nan, and miss cheery

cadence plays the flute. she taught herself through looking in on other lessons because she couldn’t find someone to teach her

francis loves snakes but his aunt doesn’t. arch has a giant pet snake and francis visits it

THREE HEADCANONS YOU’VE NEVER TOLD ANYONE:

Trick question since I talk abt my muses sm and I've had them so long (triply so for Sa) but I'll do my best--!! o7

She has multiple and specific nervous/stressed habits [esp wrt interacting with others]! There's fiddling with her bangle (more overt/self-conscious nerves) and also running a hand through/tugging+ at the back of her hair (more 'aggressive'/general nerves)

There's multiple nicknames she has for her sister! "Shishi" (more obvious) and also "Shudderbug" (inspired by when Shida was a baby and would bungle her own name)

Her gloves have padding in the palms so she can make and use fists while using Third without cutting up her hands!

THREE THINGS YOUR CHARACTER LIKES DOING IN THEIR FREE TIME:

A! Horrifically good question! Because Sa is Sa and is allergic to "downtime" and is always keeping herself busy in the most utilitarian ways she can manage, but!!

Singing! :') She used to do it a whole lot for her sister, as well as her own amusement. Since leaving home, though, mostly just for her sister (or children in need of comfort) — and what she does for herself she tries to keep to when she's the utmost of privacy.

In (relatively!) contemporary settings or the like where medias more accessible — reading (especially to help with her literacy) and movies/TV. They're mediums that engage multiple senses (in the latter, audio and visual, and in the former, the words themselves and imagining them), and so are the least likely to have her getting distracted and enable her to be left to her own thoughts. It's for this reason she's not keen on music by itself, but the reverse is why she's not fond of video games— the specific and unique ways they're interactive are very likely to leave her frustrated and more stressed/anxious than before.

Nature!! Whether it's sitting out in the rain and/or woods, or just fussing over domestic pets :') She loves them yk

(Bonus since it's so obvious and arguably work-ish: but she loves sparring! She's a jock and its a very good way to bond with and get to know people— without risking her fucking it up with her poor social skills.)

SIX PEOPLE YOUR CHARACTER LIKES/LOVES:

Her sister!! Would do anything and everything for her !! Baby girl!!! (Pay no attention to how there's only four years between them)

Sarah (her godmother/'aunt')

Her mom

Her dad (derogatory)

Tomas (double derogatory)

Insert your muse here--

TWO THINGS YOUR CHARACTER REGRETS:

The IncidentTM that pushed her to finally leave her hometown :'))) She blames herself for it in every capacity, and to this day considers herself (if anything) a fugitive or the like rather than an actual victim. "If it were not for me, it wouldn't have happened, and so it's completely my fault."

Her Bad YearsTM after she left home (from a few months before thirteenth birthday to the ballpark of ~sixteen and a half, so better part of four years). She blames herself for it because she struggles to acknowledge her abuse, yes, and also moralizes her mental health issues (i.e., see: her severe survivor's guilt and savior complexes)— but primarily because of how she 'failed' her sister. It's always been her job to take care of and provide for Shida, and during that time not only was she unable to properly support her, but Shida had to look after her instead. It's something she refuses to forgive herself for, particularly since she only broke out of it when Shida's life was endangered (which, of course, is something Sasume also blames herself for).

(Another bonus, since the other two are consecutive events: Not asking more questions of or learning more about her parents, especially her mother, when they were around. :') She didn't get much time with them, and even if she couldn't have known it nor been able to properly 'plan' for it at such a young age, she wishes she'd done more and learn more about them while she was able to. Notably, this regret can become far darker when 'the Oshima Plot' and resulting mysteries and skeletons in her parents' history are an active concern.)

TWO PHOBIAS YOUR CHARACTER HAS:

Being PercievedTM en masse, i.e. with crowds. She has a fear of crowds, yes, but that itself is rooted in the concept of said crowd turning its attention on her :')

Even with her comedic pain tolerance and catalogues of wound history she is... very bad with receiving burn wounds. Heat and superficial burns (i.e. leave little to no lasting mark even in the short term) are fine, but when they're good and proper WOUNDS? She's suffering, thanks.

stardew headcanons - twin peaks edition

HELLO all! with the little amount of free time i have, i've been binging twin peaks - a very quirky show about an fbi agent coming into a small, otherwise very normal and humble town, and quickly realizing just what lurks under the surface... being the city girl i am, i've always longed for what it would be like to live in such a rural town, getting to know the townsfolk, falling in love with the small things it provides... and solving murders of course! anyway, naturally i'm going to want to compare it to stardew valley... see below!

note: name credit to @angelsdelicate because her name headcanons are literally top tier! <3

THE TOWNSFOLK

*the sheriff, shane jackson, a man who's got his heart in the right place but he himself finds that easy to forget, leads the valley's sheriff department, along with its deputies: deputy samson carmichael, lovable but rather simple-minded and deputy sebastian hawthorne, quick and quiet. and don't forget about miss penelope routier, the lovely secretary that deputy carmichael seems to be head over heels for, and mr. demetrius darnell, the local scientist that helps with forensics and autopsies. the team usually deals with the mundane lost pets and cheating spouses- imagine their surprise upon the telephone call from the local fisherman, willy lyons, about a body floating in the lake...

*the stardrop saloon, owned by augustus chandra, is always lively and bustling with folks in and out. they are known county-wide for their homely diner-style meals and strong black coffee, along with their lovely waitresses: emily calvin, a young woman with the brightest smile in town, and jodi laurent, older than her counterpart but with just as enough pep. jodi's husband, kent richards, currently is awaiting his parole hearing, hoping to be able to make it back to the valley after his year in prison- jodi wishing desperately he doesn't get it.

*and with every small town, there's always an ultra-rich tycoon waiting for the next buck- the valley's very own mr. pierre rosenburg, with the wife, caroline, and the daughter, young abigail. mrs. rosenburg barely recognizes her husband anymore and doesn't bother with the shady deals he does in the dark- but abigail is determined to take him down, doing her own sleuthing on what her father really is up to when he leaves for his many business trips.

*the local high school is rather small and underfunded, but the students there feel loved and closely knit. everyone knows everyone else. among the few hundred, there's the expected valedictorian, maru darnell, with her outstanding academic record and eager commitment to do great, alexander mullner, the football team's star quarterback who seems to love getting in trouble with girls, and abigail rosenburg, the beautiful and cunning daughter of local businessman mr. pierre rosenburg.

*there's the small hospital, led by doctor harvey mccarthy MD and helped by many nurses, such as mrs. pamela wilson RN. the two have their own baggage- dr. mccarthy having abruptly moved here after nearly a decade of work in a city across the country, unwilling to state why, and nurse wilson battling an addiction to alcohol, wanting to get better for her estranged daughter...

*there's young miss haley o'henry, who dropped out of high school in senior year to marry trucker clint o'henry, unfortunate enough to get coerced by his seemingly empty promises to provide for her, leaving out how he in the end just wanted a maid he didn't have to pay for. while he's out making 'deliveries' [which she highly suspects isn't the case], she lets alex mullner come over to give her the attention she desires so much - not even trying to think about the consequences if clint ever found out. she dreams of alex saving her from her mistake of a marriage.

*some other oddballs in the town include linus wickerson, a quiet man who seems to live in the forest, only coming out to the saloon every once in a while for a hot cocoa, mrs. leah white, a shut-in artist who refuses to leave her home after the unexpected death of her wife, and elliott mariposa, the valley's paper editor- eccentric and keen to many of the town's residents' secrets.

*sheriff jackson knew things were becoming far too much for small-town cops like him and his team. and with that, a new person popped into town, dressed professionally with a clean haircut and fancy shoes - an air of deductive intellect to them... they shook hands with the team, deputies hawthorne and carmichael sharing a suspicious look upon the newest addition to the department, and with a smile, said: let's get started! [insert your farmer here!]

THE RELATIONSHIPS

*penny and sam had a few flings throughout the time they've worked together- penny thinks he's rather handsome in his uniform and sam loves her sparkling green eyes- however, the two both don't know what to do with themselves when they are alone, sam being rather shy and penny believing men need to step up and make the first move. eventually penny realizes sam just might not be very mature and she sees the writer elliott, who gives an air of extreme maturity and haughtiness that rather turns off penny, but she's trying to send a hint to sam to fight for her, so she continues to see him despite not being in tune with her. sebastian catches on to this office romance, stopping sam in the hallway- what are you doing? fight for her! and staring down elliott whenever he has the chance!

*kent had been involved in an accident, sending him in for 2 years, with parole. jodi never truly loved him, having married him out of spite to her rather controlling parents and running off with him in hopes he'd take her to better place. instead, he got caught drunk driving and sent to prison, leaving her a waitress barely making ends meet for herself. the only thing that keeps her motivated to live another day is caroline- with her husband out so often, the two came together lamenting their lives, having expected it to be so different when they were younger. the two would share a bottle of wine on weekends while her daughter at a friend's and husband out of town on some business trip- one night things had escalated with the two finding themselves in the same bed, not wanting to get up and stay in each other's arms! the two make plans of leaving their husbands but that's all they are- plans for another life.

*clint wasn't always this unshaven, hot-headed, greasy trucker- he had money and loved to spend it on shiny things- a fancy corvette, slick boots, a leather jacket- upon seeing how laid-back and free haley was, he simply thought it'd be easy to get her under his roof with his expensive car and wads of cash, to fold his laundry, wash the dishes... when she saw him for what he really was, she began to hate herself for getting caught up with such a deadbeat- cutting off her parents, dropping out of class, halting her entire life for this man that she couldn't stand to look at. he'd be so nasty to her the days he was home, the days he wasn't providng some relief to haley. she'd have alex come over, meeting him through clint no less- alex'd help clint with local deliveries- and would dream of how he'd be a far better husband to her, a far better lover!

*pierre had been a hotshot in his prime years, thinking he still is something women swoon over in his late-forties. his lack of self-awareness allowed for his ego to be inflated through the purchasing of a certain gentlemen's club up north- he chases after its young women employees, using up their young girlish charms as vitality to keep himself afloat... without their sweet words, suggestive touches, and nights where he can feel young again, he'd be bored- as simple as that!

AND THE MURDER

the town's sheriff department received a phone call one morning on february 24th, a body being found washed up ashore by the local fishermen, willy talking to sheriff jackson with a quivering voice. the boys take a trip to the pier, deputy carmichael sobbing as he takes photos of the young woman's body- nothing like this had ever happen in this small town. overcome with sadness, shane makes the call to the parents of miss delilah lalune [my farmer], the victim, to their unparalleled grief. the whole town mourned her together, her absence having an impact upon every nook and cranny of the town. her closest friends made it their mission to find what really happened to her- they knew she was in some sort of trouble but never in their wildest dreams thought it'd turn out like this and that and that and this- questioning suspects and analyzing clues- unearthing the story, it getting even deeper and deeper, with more dark and perverse parts of society coming out to the light...

Though Xander loves Tiramisu Panini Hawthorne and she loves him too, she prefers Grayson more. Of course, she loves whomever gives her attention but he’s her person and her chosen Hawthorne brother. Sometimes (make that several times a week), Gray has secret cuddling sessions with the puppy that may or may not end up in naps after he had a long day at the foundation.

Also, I personally think that Xander was just really hungry when he named Tiramisu in The Final Gambit and then afterwards stole away to the kitchen for some scones.

grayson hawthorne has a strict morning routine. wake up at 5 to swim, swim until the others wake up, take a shower, get dressed, get coffee, and do whatever grayson does.

now, having a girlfriend who hates mornings, though, makes his routine have some… holes in it. though, whenever she said she wanted to do it with him, he couldn’t lie that he was happy with it.

“are you sure you want to wake up with me tomorrow, love?” he asks, looking at you nervously. you grin at him. “yeah, i’m sure. plus, i’m tired of not waking up with you in bed, so…” you trail off.

grayson lifts an eyebrow before sighing. “okay, but if you’re too tired to, just tell me and you could go back to bed, okay?”

“i know, don’t worry!”

now, you know that he wakes up early. but you never knew how early.

“love,” grayson says as he lightly shakes your shoulders. you groan tiredly, turning on your side. “Y/N, you said you wanted to wake up with me.”

“yeah, but i never knew how early…” you mumble, your eyes still closed. he chuckles lightly. “you said you wanted to, right?”

“mhm.”

“then come on.”

sighing, you blink your eyes open before rubbing the sleep from your eyes. you look up at the blond above you and hum.

you wrap your arms around his neck and close your eyes again. “‘cmon, pick me up,” you mumble, digging your face in his neck. grayson tries to hide his smile as he puts a hand behind the small of your back and picks you up with him.

you wrap your legs around him as he walks to the walk-in closet and sets you down again.

you yawn, rubbing your eyes as grayson gets out his swimming trunks and your bathing suit. “do you want to swim with me?” he asks, looking up at you from his crouching position.

you shrug and say i don’t know with your mouth closed. he rolls his eyes at you, amused as he takes the swimming clothes.

you watch him as he takes his swimming trunks and walks into the restroom with them. you frown. you’ve already seen everything, why does he need to change in the bathroom?

but, you suppose that him sleeping without a shirt is a reward itself already. even though the reason why, was a whole nother conversation that you two already had.

soon, he comes back out with his swimming trunks on and you grab your swimming suit and walk into the restroom.

you tiredly—slowly—change into your swimming suit, the feeling of the fabric against your dry skin making you feel weird. of course, it’ll feel better once you're wet, but still.

you toss your dirty clothes on the wall, where a piece of it opens and takes the clothes before closing again.

you snort and roll your eyes. rich people. walking back out, you see grayson making his bed with two towels on his shoulder and if you were any other person, you’d find this weird, cleaning while he’s in his swimming trunks.

if you were any other person.

he spots you walking out and straightens his back, offering his hand to you. smiling—still tired, surprisingly—you take his hand.

he smiles back and takes you out of his room and to the swimming pool. he swims until everyone else wakes up, he told you. you wonder how long that exactly takes.

all of the rooms are still dark as he makes it to the swimming pool, sliding open the see-through door.

still holding your hand, he steps outside and to one of the pool chairs, putting down the towels on top of it.

you hum and sit on the chair, bringing your legs to your chest.

“do you want to stay here?” grayson asks, lifting an eyebrow at you. you nod at him. “i’ll go in later,” you say, making him form a little smile at you.

he was never one to smile, but he always does when he’s with you. it brings toy joy; especially when it’s a full-blown smile, one of those rare ones.

you watch as he gets into the pool and begins to swim, going from the end of the pool to the other end of the pool, swimming in laps.

you watch how his back muscles move as he moves his arms, his biceps flexing. you blink and look away from him before he can see you staring.

even though you two are official now, you couldn’t help but feel embarrassed whenever he caught you staring at him.

especially in situations like this one.

it was a little while later when you got up from your chair and stepped to the edge of the pool. grayson glanced at you sitting down, before making his way to you.

he’s over there before you even got your feet in the water, putting his hands on either side of your thighs. you put your hands on top of his own and lean down, kissing his wet forehead.

he wraps his arms around your hips and puts his head on top of your chest, making you wrap your arms around his wet neck.

“do you want to come in now?” he asks, his words slightly muffled from your chest. “yeah,” you hum, moving your legs back and forth in the water, both beside his hips.

he nods and trails his hands down to your bottom, pulling you towards him before he backs away from the ledge, bringing you with him.

you squeal as you wrap your legs and arms around him, the cold water making you freeze. “it’s freezing!” you exclaim, squeezing your eyes shut. “jesus—how are you not cold, gray?”

he chuckles and kisses your forehead. “i’ve gotten used to it, flower.”

a few moments later after swimming, kissing, and hugging, avery walks out with jameson by his side.

“stop flirting and come eat. breakfast is ready,” jameson says, smirking at his brother. grayson glares at him and slowly brings you down from where you were.

you had tried to see how long he could not breathe from underwater, but of course, he had to try to impress you and was under there longer than he should have.

of course, he didn’t tell you that, though. after all, he needs to beat you in the pool games tomorrow—which, of course, he’ll never admit to liking.

Personality: Connie comes across as a generally easy-going person. She doesn’t like conflict, nor does she like taking sides. She prefers to come across as laid-back and confident - she wants people to like her. She has a good sense of humour and has a genuine laugh that’s infectious (she snorts when she laughs).

Connie’s hair is usually blonde and unstyled on days that she’s feeling sad, or just not feeling herself. 

She keeps her wand in her boot, or stuck in her hair when she does an updo. 

[dragonologist-phd]

I finished The Outer Worlds!! here are some Thoughts nobody asked for:

90% of my knowledge of this game going in was about Parvati and honestly she deserves it. Hands down my favorite character, I just adored her

I also really enjoyed Ellie! It seems I might be in the minority on this but I thought she was fun and had a lot of good one-liners. Maybe I’m just a sucker for the ‘guarded mercenary-type character has a cynical view of the world but gradually starts to let her walls down after experiencing friendship and found family’ trope. also I love the term ‘sawbones’

Speaking of one liners this game has some really great ones, both from the player character and npc’s. The humor is really good in general, and the part at the beginning of the game with Hawthorne is fantastic- my sister couldn’t stop laughing when she played that part. All in all a very funny game

The seething anti-capitalism is also great. Very satisfying to tell the Board to fuck off every chance I got

And yet the game isn’t a total downer and let’s me do some peacemaking between factions! (it’s my escapism and if I want everyone to get along and have a happy ending, I should be able to make them do that)

The game did feel weirdly short? And some quests ended a bit suddenly with no follow up. Maybe I’m a bit skewed because the last games I played were Pathfinder Kingmaker and DOS2 which are both extremely long and have 3 act companion quests, but it did go by quicker than I expected. It isn’t necessarily a bad thing- sometimes I do want to play a game that doesn’t take a year to finish- but I wish some quests had been fleshed out a bit more, especially some of the companion quests

I want an ADA companion quest!! What’s her origin? What was her relationship with Hawthorne 1.0 really like? i love AI plotlines, give me the forbidden ADA backstory

My biggest complaint is the use of the ‘Alcoholism is Funny’ trope in regards to the writing of Nyoka. Can we as a society please agree to stop using that trope? Her character is just fine without it, there are plenty of other elements to focus on, and if we have to have that element can we at least discuss it with her and talk about it like an unhealthy coping mechanism instead of a running gag?

Despite that I did have lots of fun with this game and I’ll probably buy the DLC’s at some point when they’re on sale

Also IMO the sprats are ridiculously cute and in my headcanon my captain definitely has one as a pet

s e r a p h i n a   d i a n a   a n a s t a s i a   p a r k i n s o n

basics:

name: seraphina diana anastasia parkinson. pronunciation: seh·ruh·fee·nuh dai·a·nuh a·nuh·stei·zhuh paar·kuhn·sn. meaning: seraphina- burning one. diana- supplier of beneficence and wellness. anastasia- resurrection. birthday: december 3rd. age: twenty-four. pronouns: they, she & her. sexuality: pansexual. siblings: julian parkinson (older adoptive brother), allegra fawley nee parkinson (older adoptive sister). parents: archer parkinson & merritt parkinson nee rosier. other family: david & ella griffiths (biological parents). languages: english. current residence: a penthouse near acid nightclub. hometown: london.

wizard fun:

hogwarts house: hufflepuff. year of graduation: 1977. occupation: owner of acid nightclub & professional keeper for the falmouth falcons. pet: a cat named bubblegum. blood status: muggleborn, but assumed pureblood. species: metamorphmagus. patronus: flamingo. people with the flamingo patronus know how to use their hearts to find the right solutions to their problems. they also find comfort in group situations. therefore, folks with this patronus know how to maintain their individuality within large groups and enjoy being around people. these people are often flirtatious and flamboyant in the way they dress. moreover, they know how to balance a busy lifestyle and often find themselves in a supportive role when someone is having relationship problems. they also know how to help them heal and move on. their decisions in life usually come from the heart. boggart: her worst fear is the idea that she will be found out. her true parentage will come to light and put not only her, but everyone she loves’ lives in danger. amortentia:   broom polish.  quidditch has been seraphina’s passion for as long as she can recall. there is nothing more peaceful to her than an entire day spent on the quidditch pitch. the smell of broom polish is equivalent to those serene moments when she prepares.  coconut.  it is a warm and inviting scent that sera associates heavily with her favorite desserts, lotions, and places to travel to.  lemon.  lemons are a guilty pleasure for seraphina. they are her favorite and go-to snack on any given day. she loves to add lemons to anything.  wand type: 13 1/3″ hawthorn wood, phoenix feather, unbending.  the wandmaker gregorovitch wrote that hawthorn ‘makes a strange, contradictory wand, as full of paradoxes as the tree that gave it birth, whose leaves and blossoms heal, and yet whose cut branches smell of death.’ while I disagree with many of gregorovitch’s conclusions, we concur about hawthorn wands, which are complex and intriguing in their natures, just like the owners who best suit them. hawthorn wands may be particularly suited to healing magic, but they are also adept at curses, and I have generally observed that the hawthorn wand seems most at home with a conflicted nature, or with a witch or wizard passing through a period of turmoil. hawthorn is not easy to master, however, and I would only ever consider placing a hawthorn wand in the hands of a witch or wizard of proven talent, or the consequences might be dangerous. hawthorn wands have a notable peculiarity: their spells can, when badly handled, backfire.  this is the rarest core type. phoenix feathers are capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer than either unicorn or dragon cores to reveal this. They show the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord, a quality that many witches and wizards dislike.  affiliation: the death eaters.

appearance:

height: 5′2″. hair color: variable. prefers pink. eye color: variable. prefers purple. typical hair style: sera’s hair is usually the first sign that she is a metamorphmagus. she has very littler control over the changing color with her emotions. however, the style is almost always a clipped, choppy, and short bob. some days she is in the mood for long silky hair, though. it just depends on her mood. she rarely wears it up because the ties pull when she shifts.  fashion style: colors. patterns. textures. sera likes things to be bright and bold and different. she loves mixing feminine and masculine styles. she wears very high heels since she is so short. she likes to wear furs, leathers, sequins, silk, and spandex. sera wears a lot of things that might not mix well together, but seems to make it work for her. she has a very early punk and glam rock style. [ fashion ] distinguishing features: her face changes shape. the most distinguishable feature about sera is that she can have any feature at any time. the face that is generally accepted as her normal has high cheekbones and sweet, rounded dimples. sera has a friendly face.

personality:

positive traits: resilient. cooperative. follower. negative traits: egocentric. irascible. stupid. theme song: bubblegum bitch by marina.

headcanons:

sera actually has great eyesight. her peripheral vision is especially good due to how much she uses it while flying. however, she can be a little sensitive to light and wears a lot of sunglasses when she’s outside.

during her fifth year, sera almost died during a quidditch accident. it’s one of the few things that she actually never talks about anymore. she pissed off a handful of slytherins. a couple were on the quidditch team. two aimed bludgers at her, while a third in the stands hexed her broom to freeze in the air. one bludger clocked her on the side of the head and did some serious damage. the other broke her arm. she jumped from the broom immediately after to block a quaffle. she broke her broom, bounced off the goal ring. it landed her in st. mungo’s for a little while. when she got back to school she’d just heard that the ones who’d caused the incident had been taken care of by her friends. paris wouldn’t explain any more than that. this, of course, being only one of the most notable in a lengthy list of injuries.

sera struggles with in betweens. to settle down and fall asleep is always a struggle as is waking up out of sleep she’s already in. so she is more than content to sleep until she wakes naturally on her days off. usually that’s still well before lunch time. often it’s due to light streaming through the window and causing her to sneeze. 

biography:

It was an early frost. The sun had only just set and each breath exhaled produced a puffy cloud of steam from the nostrils and lips of the hospital patrons as they entered and exited the sleek, upscale building. It was the Griffiths’ third child. The private birthing suite at the hospital had been reserved for a day and a half by the time labor started.

They were the picture perfection muggle family for a short time. Both mother and father bursting with pride at the three perfect, healthy offspring. It lasted in bliss until the first time that infant Seraphina laughed. Her raven dark locks shifted to a bright, inexplicable pink. It was the same color as a cloud colored by a sunset. No expense was spared as they took her to doctors and experts in various fields to attempt to explain her shifting features. It was when things started floating off of shelves, rattled off the wall, and zipping up from the ground that the Griffiths could take no more.

A friend of a friend of a friend who was in the know took the babe to a magic adoption agency. The Griffiths paid well to ensure the trail back to them was nearly impossible to discover. They didn’t want an angry witch or wizard coming after them some time down the line. That was how the Parkinson’s discovered the babe.

Archer and Merritt Parkinson had already given birth to two children when they came to the decision for a third child. The social elite of pureblooded society, they were well known for their philanthropy. The Daily Prophet had done plenty of stories on the couple’s generosity. While some claimed that the very publicized adoption was just another stunt to gain public appeal, the truth was that they couldn’t have another child due to complications that Merritt faced when she’d had her last child.

Of course, that wasn’t a reason to avoid using the adoption to their advantage. They needed a child and a pureblooded one at that. It was the bundle of swiftly changing hair that caught their heart. An infant metamorphmagus was a rarity, and they were told of her pureblooded parents who passed from dragon pox in another country had been a tragedy. (An insignificant lie if it got the babe adopted, right?) What reason would they have to doubt it? Obviously the infant possessed magical abilities and that was a safer bet than potentially adopted a squib. It was a win all around. Thus, Seraphina Diana Anastasia became the newest and welcomed member of the Parkinson family.

Childhood for the Parkinsons was not all too different from any other pureblooded family. They were often flaunted in the name of their parents’ many pureblooded charities, but they never wanted for anything. Despite how public her adoption was, Sera never felt unwanted or out of place with her family. She was never made to feel anything less than a Parkinson. Seraphina embraced her role. She was ever the dutiful daughter, although she had a penchant for not thinking things through very well. But why would she need to? Any trouble that she came across, her parents would find a way to fix.

As they got older, Seraphina grew prone to long periods of boredom as her siblings became old enough to go to school. It was during this time that she first discovered her love of flying. Soon enough it became time for Seraphina to go to Hogwarts. While she’d somewhat expected to get sorted into Slytherin with the rest of her peers, she wasn’t upset when the Sorting Hat decreed her a Hufflepuff. Her marks were always average in everything but flying. Frankly, she didn’t care to practice anything except Quidditch. She joined the team her second year and it has been her passion since.

Life was normal. Well, as normal as it could be for a young, shapeshifting witch until the summer before her sixth year. An attack decimated an old orphanage not too far outside of Godric’s Hollow. Her mother was fast to say it was tragic that they’d lost the place that Seraphina had been adopted from. It was strange. Her adoption had never been the focal point of her life. More of a mere passing fact in the biography of her story. However, that sentence planted a seed in her. The attacks that were popping up over the nation, her father’s beliefs he became more and more vocal about, the tension of her peers… it all made one point abundantly clear. Blood was becoming more important by the day.

It was time to discover just precisely what bloodline was hers. Seraphina began digging. There wasn’t much to be recovered from the incinerated files of the old orphanage, but galleons greasing the palms of the right people supplied her with the right direction to continue her inquiries. It took time. It took money. It took resources that her mother was not always so willing to arrange. Eventually, Seraphina uncovered the not so pure history of her past. Then she destroyed every evidence of it. No one could ever know lest her own life or the life of her family be forfeit. She wouldn’t let that happen, no matter what. Besides, it didn’t change anything. Not really. Seraphina was what she’d always been raised to be.

It was less than a week later that she began to ask her father about taking the Dark Mark. While hesitant to allow his youngest daughter into the less savory nature of his organization, Archer Parkinson was proud of her tenacity. However, it was the rest of her that impressed the right people under the dark hoods. Seraphina became notoriously able to take a hit and keep going. Her temper could shift at the drop of a hat, and there no were apparently no lengths to which she would not go. She was an incredibly loyal and malleable follower in more than one way. It was swiftly agreed that her loyalty would be an asset. Sera took the Dark Mark the month before her last year of schooling was to begin, a fact which was easy to hide given her particular abilities.

Her marks swiftly fell to below average as Sera struggles to come to terms with the truth of her existence, with what she will do to hide it, with her ambition towards her quidditch career, and with her new found responsibilities. The girl who has always stood out by nature, is desperate to fit in. Survival became the only thing that mattered. Luckily, those with the mark stuck close together, and she relied more heavily on her friends than ever before despite the secret she kept from them.

Once she graduated (barely), Seraphina was offered positions on several Quidditch teams. She was marketable. They wanted her name, her style, her skills on the pitch, and eventually Sera decided to become a permanent member of the Falmouth Falcons as the Keeper. Between her matches, Seraphina worked for the Dark Lord’s desires. There had never been a hesitation to do what she was told to do. It grated on her a bit. Then when the season was over, Seraphina realized that she needed far more distractions from her extracurriculars and the fear of her secrets. That’s when she discovered Acid. Owning a club was just the right fit for her. It was perfect and soon it too was growing in popularity. Never had it been more difficult to keep a secret in the spotlight.
