Hey Jess, as a person who gets curious about hyper specific stuff, I wanted to know what color that yellow/brown-ish sweater was listed as by the designer. I wasn’t trying to be pretentious or something when calling it cognac, btw; it’s a regularly used description in my language, like you would use tan for leather, or dogs in English.

So anyway, I hopped on the John Varvatos site and saw that they call it copper. The cream white one from the beach selfie is listed as charcoal/turtle dove. Now on sale for a mere $235 (from $465). Wasn’t expecting precious little bean to be able to afford that on a music teacher salary. 😉

hello bestie

in this alternate universe, our precious lil' bean got that shirt from a good will <3 just like i actually got an almost exact replica of Ashton's very own yellow/brownish/copper sweater a few months ago for 6 dollars <33

#no i didnt mean to say YOU were being pretentious it's just one of those things where i try to avoid using words in dialogue especially #that arent super common #like im from the US and i dont think ive ever heard someone say 'cognac' casually in conversation yknow #and since calum is the one saying it. it just felt like yellow was simple and worked #i do agree the shirt is copper however that's also still a word i dont think is used super casually in convo #so now as a team bonding activity we can pick the new color of the sweater for me to change it to in the fic #how do we feel about calum calling it 'brownish'?? would u be opposed #i can change it to copper tho if we prefer copper #or we could cut the adjective entirely #open to suggestions #pigeon #anon #lmfao getting war flashbacks from when someone got onto me abt using the word 'jugular' in scene 14 and i had to delete it from the fic #god now im second guessing even calling it a sweater is this just a long sleeved shirt #im panocking #idk like in my mind. calum would say yellow.#he's colorblind in the fic actually and ur being ableist rn /j #that is Such a joke pls do not take that seriously #idk i just feel like he would use... a basic word #bc if he used cognac ashton's basic little southern ass would go 'hUh?'
