HAMILTON

wax seals. writing in ink. that moment when your stomach drops and you realize something horrible is about to happen. a single candle in the dark. heated arguments. ballroom dancing. stacks of paper overflowing a desk. fresh beginnings. the ticking of a clock. loud arguments. hand kisses. the barely-there trace of a word that’s been erased. passive aggressive texts. icy faces and wet cheeks. blood on the ground.  forgiveness. quiet gasps into silence. 

FALSETTOS

the tetris music. a pen scraping against paper. dayenu. the muffled sound of crying in your mother’s room. tense silence at the dinner table. a chess board left in the middle of a game. carefully placed decorative pillows. stimming. red hoodies. kisses in the back of a dark bar. baseball. a hand on your thigh. sweaters. prayer shawls. too much champagne. the beeping of hospital instruments. hickeys all over your body. boxes full of old polaroids. fresh flowers on a gravestone.

IN THE HEIGHTS

piragua. flags blowing in the wind. muffled latin music. champagne bottles popping loudly. fireworks. slushies being slurped through a straw. pigeons picking bread-crumps. candles in a blackout. the hottest day of the summer when the air seems to turn liquid. fire-escapes. taxis. dress-shirts and black ties. record scratches. graffiti. streetlights. winning lottery tickets. gossip at the salon. stacks of school books. the sound of a train going by. secrets kept away from the neighbors. coming home at the end of the day.

SPRING AWAKENING

wildflowers. white sundresses. first kisses. clammy hands holding each other. flower crowns. haylofts. tingly feelings all over. goethe. endless darkness. cold hands. silent screams. chalk against a chalkboard. all-nighters. wine yards. too-tight braids. bruises. innocence lost. graveyards. loveletters. adults that don’t get it. piano lessons. study dates. phantom touches. whispers that stop when you get close. rolled down knee socks. your dad’s gun. 

LEGALLY BLONDE

tiny dogs. red bull. pink. hello kitty. getting cat called. corduroy. leather messenger bags. the sound of high heels against tiles. scented paper. unworn fancy dresses. smeared lipstick. walking up on stage during your graduation. the flow-feeling you get into when studying something you actually care about. the scent of department stores. the tense atmosphere in court rooms. finding unexpected sisterhood. 

WAITRESS

the scent of freshly baked pies. flour on your hands. old diners from the 60s that still look the same. southern hospitality. those dreadful minutes after you take a test and have to wait for a result. feeling lonely at night while someone else is asleep right next to you. contorted guitar chords. old recipe books passed down through generations. knowing something is wrong but doing it anyway. nights spent curled up on the couch with true crime shows.

Whether they prefer coffee, tea, or hot chocolate: Oh definitely coffee; Nicky is a caffeine addict and a coffee snob, and has a very specific way he likes his prepared.

What their zodiac sign is and whether they fit the traits associated with it: Nicky is a Pisces, and I think he fits it pretty well! He’s compassionate, creative, and loving, but can also be sensitive and, for a detective, can trust too easily.

What emotion is the hardest for them to deal with: Fear. He hates feeling it, as he sees it as a sign of weakness, and never reacts well to it.

How physically affectionate they are: Once he gets to trust someone, very! He’s always happy to give a hug to someone who needs it, and he’s an absolute cuddle monster with Jake once they get together.

A movie they could watch every day for the rest of their life: The original Die Hard. It’s just a good thing he already liked it before meeting Jake, because after getting together, they watch it at least twice a week.

Are they neurodivergent in any way (autism, ADHD, mental illness, etc.)? If so, what do they have?: Nicky is autistic and has both general and social anxiety.

If they want any kids, and how many they’d want if they do: Nicky does want kids! He wants a big family, preferably three or four kids so all of them always have a friend around.

How they lost their first tooth: It wasn’t anything special; he just got tired of having it wiggling around in his mouth and decided to reach in and tug it out.

What their walk-on song would be: “It’s Time” by Imagine Dragons.

If they prefer company or time alone when they’re upset: Nicky prefers someone with him when he’s upset, to help him work through his emotions and offer advice if he needs it.

🌟 + Nicky Bauer?

Thanks so much for this!! Also gonna tag @luucypevensie, @ginger-grimm, @dancingsunflowers-ocs, and @ginevrastilinski-ocs!! <3 <3

Nicky is basically a collector of fidget toys. His desk at the precinct is absolutely littered with toys of all kinds, fidget spinners and tangles and Rubix cubes alike. Miraculously, his desk is also very organized, despite the amount of stuff on it.

Nicky's first kiss with a boy was in his senior year of high school, with an Italian exchange student that he had been working on a project with at the other boy's house. This was a month or so after Nicky had been kicked out and wasn't living with his parents anymore, and he nearly cried right after the kiss, because this was the first time he'd done something relating to his true self that he'd been able to do without worrying about his parents finding out and getting angry at him.

Nicky never exactly had an emo phase, so much as he went through a phase where he wore a lot of hoodies and jeans and usually had his hood up to hide his face when he could get away with it. It had more to do with his insecurities after his parents kicked him out than it did with any real emo inclinations, but after finding pictures from that era, Rosa still likes to tease him about it.

Despite his trauma associated with religion, since it's the reason his parents kicked him out after he came out, Nicky still goes to church most Sundays he's not working and prays fairly regularly. Faith was still a big part of his childhood, and not only does he sincerely believe in God, he doesn't quite want to let go of the comfort religion brings him.

Nicky is extremely picky about his coffee, what he puts in it, and how much of certain things he puts into it, which is why he refuses to ever use the coffee machine at the precinct - he doesn’t trust the type of coffee they use at all. He always either makes his own at home and brings it in a big thermos so it will last all day, or makes a few trips to a shop down the block from the precinct that makes it exactly how he likes it on his breaks.

In what he insists is the only gay stereotype he fulfills, Nicky loves musicals and theatre in general, although he’s never been in any kind of production himself. His favorites are Hamilton and the Legally Blonde musical.

On a similar name, he once realized who the killer was in a murder that had the team stumped literally only because he overheard Boyle singing a song from Sweeney Todd to himself. It’s a bit of a long story.

As much as he loves coffee, Nicky also has an appreciation for tea; he bonds with Kevin over it, as it would happen.

His main stim is clicking his tongue when he’s really focused on something, and he needs to do it to be able to properly focus. He always feels a bit bad about doing it in the precinct because he worries it’s annoying, but Rosa always shuts him down immediately before he can overthink it.

Nicky’s favorite kind of pie is blueberry. He also has a great hatred for coconut cream pie, and he does not trust anyone who likes it.

10 facts + Nickey

Thank you so much for this!! Also gonna tag Nicky’s other biggest fans, @luucypevensie, @ginger-grimm, @dancingsunflowers-ocs, and @manyfandomocs!! <3 <3

Nicky isn’t generally a very petty person, but there was one big prank he pulled on Wuntch in Holt’s honour when he was stuck working in PR. It involved a llama and a big bucket of maple syrup, and since it was done with Jake and Rosa’s help, Wuntch never found out who did it.

He really loves dressing up for Halloween! His strict Christian parents kind of alternated between letting him and not letting him celebrate it growing up, so he loves taking the opportunity to dress up now that he has it.

Some of his notable costumes throughout the show include Dick Grayson a.k.a. Nightwing from DC Comics, Gomez Addams, and D’Artagnan from The Three Musketeers.

Despite the fact that he was kind of isolated from both of his parents growing up, he was still closer to his mom - his dad was the stricter one and ultimately the one who demanded he leave the house when he came out.

He’s pretty much the only one who can read Holt’s mood through his constant deadpan demeanour in the beginning. He calls it “autism-to-autism communication”.

He loves going bowling, but he’s not really any good at it.

He did try going vegetarian exactly once, but it only lasted about a week. He missed Wendy’s too much.

He probably would have tried to make it on Broadway if he hadn’t decided to become a detective.

In that vein, his dream role on the stage would be either Billy Flynn in Chicago or Cinderella’s Prince in Into the Woods.

He sometimes makes himself sad by thinking about how, if Jake was a woman, his parents would have actually loved him for Nicky.

Spotify Wrapped: 88?

Thanks so much for this!!

So, number eighty-eight on my Spotify Wrapped was “Rent” from the live TV production of Rent, and it made me think of my guy Nicky Bauer! Nicky’s a massive musical theatre guy, and Rent is one of his absolute favourites (I even have a potential storyline planned where he has to go undercover in a Brooklyn theatre company’s production of the show), so this is definitely a song you could catch him belting out a lot.

send me a number 1-100 and I’ll tell you the song it corresponds with on my top 100 spotify wrapped playlist and what oc/ship it reminds me of!!

[rose-of-oz]

𝐑𝐄-𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐃𝐔𝐂𝐈𝐍𝐆… 𝐌𝐘 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐋𝐘𝐍 𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐄-𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑, 𝐍𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐘 𝐁𝐀𝐔𝐄𝐑

❝ Nicky was used to not being “normal”. He’d been diagnosed as autistic at the tender age of eleven, and from that point on had been the subject of many hateful looks and uncreative taunts from his neurotypical classmates, who apparently thought that having an autistic person among them was the worst kind of injustice. Nicky had then been disowned and thrown out of the house at the age of seventeen by his fervently religious parents, who apparently could accept an autistic son but not a gay one, and had been forced to rely on the kindness of his friends’ families for a place to stay until he had graduated high school and won a university scholarship that allowed him to stay in a dorm on campus.

Years after graduating from university and the police academy and finally becoming a detective like he’d always dreamed, Nicky was transferred to Brooklyn’s ninety-ninth precinct, where he expected to once again be treated like a strange outsider by his “normal” co-workers. But to his utter surprise, Nicky quickly found himself one of the only sensible people in his new workplace, at least compared to Jake Peralta’s chaotic antics, his captain’s general incompetence, and... literally everything that went on with Hitchcock and Scully.

But now the Nine-Nine has a new captain, a much more serious one who promises to finally knock some sense into this madhouse of a precinct. However, Jake continues to resist Holt’s attempts at forcing him to act responsibly, Rosa continues to be a stoic lover of weapons and violence, and Nicky? He continues to be an awkward mess of bad jokes and fidget toys who has a hopeless crush on his most chaotic co-worker.

Maybe Nicky’s life, and Nicky himself, will never be “normal”. But, maybe, that’s not as bad a thing as he’s always lead himself to believe. ❞

send me an oc and i’ll give you ten facts about them!!

[rose-of-oz]

hii Dolly!!! a little birdy sent me, hoping you could give a few facts about each of your new ocs so I could make you something nice 🐦

Well, hello there, dear Anon!! On the off chance that by "new OCs" you mean the ones I submitted for the OC Potluck Exchange, those are the ones I will share some facts about!! If not, well, all of these OCs are new this year, or at least ones that I've neglected a bit this year, so this still works!! (Also, I put four out of five of them under the cut just to save space.)

First, let's talk about Ananya Kaur, one of my new Pride & Prejudice OCs!!

Ananya is three years younger than her older brother Rohan, and as much as she absolutely adores her brother, she hates nothing more than when he teases her about being younger and "respecting your elders".

She is married to Fitzwilliam Darcy, but not at all because either of them love each other. In fact, it's more of a lavender marriage situation, with her brother married to Elizabeth Bennet, because Rohan and Darcy are in love and so are Ananya and Lizzie, so the four of them agreed to the marriages so that everyone could be with the person they loved.

However, despite not being in love, Ananya and Darcy are very good friends. They spend a lot of time together when Lizzie and Rohan aren't around, either talking or just reading together in companionable silence. They are also very sunshine x sunshine protector - Ananya is a very sweet and caring person, and Darcy will always do his best to prevent her from being taken advantage of.

Ananya has a true green thumb, and had her own little garden out back when she and Rohan still lived with their parents. Now that she lives at Darcy's estate, she's in charge of all the gardens and their upkeep, and most often can be found kneeling in one of the flowerbeds with her hands deep in the dirt.

Despite not being very skilled when it comes to music itself - singing and playing the pianoforte and the like - Ananya is a remarkable dancer. Though that alone has never exactly earned her any proposals, many people at social gatherings tend to remark on how skilled she is at it.

Next, we have one of my Fast & Furious OCs, AJ Vargas!!

Now, unlike most of Dom's crew, AJ has very little skill actually driving - in fact, he failed his driver's test twice before he finally got his license. However, he is a master of repairing and supping up cars, making additions and changing things around within cars to make them faster, tougher, and more likely to kick ass.

Having grown up with the Shaw siblings, AJ started sleeping with Owen on and off when they were teenagers, and this relationship continued right up until AJ defected from Owen's criminal crew and offered to help Dom's team. It was a very unhealthy relationship, with Owen calling every single one of the shots and AJ allowing his cruelty to go on for far too long because he was blinded by love, and AJ can acknowledge that, but it was also the only semi-real relationship he ever had before he got together with Roman and sometimes, secretly, he still misses it.

However, even AJ's borderline betrayal of Owen and all the damages that came after has never actually stopped Queenie, the Shaw siblings' mother, from seeing AJ as her favorite child, whether he's biologically hers or not. Owen, Deckard, and Hattie have all complained about this before, but according to Queenie, AJ is the only one of them who's never been foolish enough to get arrested for his criminal activity, so why wouldn't he be her favorite?

AJ is fluent in five languages, including English and Spanish, and fairly regularly, when he wants to insult someone, will do it in one of the non-English languages, because typically the person won't speak the language he's using and either doesn't know what they've just been called or can't prove they've been insulted.

AJ is actually unlikely besties with Letty, since he was always kind to her when she was part of Owen's crew when she didn't have her memories and vouched for him when he first approached Dom's team as a result. They quite often have little silent hang-outs where they just sit next to each other and drink (wine for AJ, something stronger for Letty) and judge other people for a bit.

They quite often have little silent hang-outs where they just sit next to each other and drink (wine for AJ, something stronger for Letty) and judge other people for a bit.

Now onto my other Fast & Furious OC, Florencia "Flo" Sánchez!

Flo, unlike AJ, is a more standard member of Dom's crew - she's an absolutely badass driver, first recruited onto the team during Brian and Dom's bid to infiltrate Braga's crew and find information about Letty, since Brian remembered her from Tej's racing ring.

She's also a bisexual queen, who loves to show her pride as much as possible. She has several bi flag and pride flag t-shirts, pretty much always has a bi flag pin on her jacket or some flag-colored jewelry if she's not wearing a shirt, and even has purple, pink, and blue dice hanging from the mirror of her car.

She's a Deckard Shaw love interest, despite the fact that she absolutely hates him when they first meet for nearly killing most of her found family and then strolling in to team up with them like they're the unreasonable ones for being angry at him. It takes a lot of anger and sniping back and forth (and even physical fights that occasionally include knives held to throats) before they're even ready to say they don't hate each other, let alone for them to get together, but they do get there.

Flo is also an MMA instructor in between adventures with the team, and she often puts those skills to good use in the more face-to-face confrontations involved in the family's fights. She's also tried to teach other members of the team to fight, but it hasn't always gone well (Ramsey, for example, refused to take any more lessons after a week, and Tej just refused to take any outright).

Surprisingly enough for all the things she's done in her life, Flo is actually a practicing Christian - she's not Catholic like she was raised, and she doesn't find herself in a church very often, but she prays very regularly and always wears her mother's old cross necklace, as well as keeping another small cross on a chain in the glove compartment of all her cars.

Now let's talk about Greta Dwarf, my new Descendants OC!!

Being the daughter of Grumpy, Greta may not have had a lot of friends until the VKs came to Auradon due to her prickly attitude, but she's also always had a loving family with her dad, uncles, and cousins. Greta is very much a family girl in her own unique, surly way, and would do anything for her family, and she knows they would all do the same for her.

Greta is a big fan of punk and rock music, for all there isn't a lot of those kind of bands in Auradon. It makes up about ninety percent of the music on all her playlists, she has posters of her favorite bands all around the bed in her dorm room, and tickets to an underground punk show is the best present you could possibly get her. Evie does convince her to expand her musical horizons eventually, but it takes time.

Although it isn't exactly uncommon for the kids of sidekicks in Auradon to only have one parent (and Greta certainly does consider her uncles and some of her older cousins to be parental figures), she often wonders who her mother is and what drew her father to her in the first place. She wouldn't ever try and find her or ask too many questions if her father didn't want her to, but the curiosity is still there, and there's always a chance she might indulge it one day.

For a very long time, Greta calls Audrey "Pinky" to annoy her, but after Greta starts opening up to people more and Audrey starts working to improve herself following the whole incident with her trying to take over Auradon, the nickname and all the little barbs they like to throw back and forth stop. They don't ever actually become friends, there's too many years of animosity between them for that, but they do eventually become comfortable with each other.

Greta's family has known she was a lesbian since she was eight, long before she even fully realized it, so she's never had an official coming out, at least not to her family. There was simply never a need for it, since they all already knew.

And finally, we have the OC who's not new so much as a bit neglected - my Brooklyn Nine-Nine baby, Nicky Bauer!

Nicky is basically a collector of fidget toys. His desk at the precinct is absolutely littered with toys of all kinds, fidget spinners and tangles and Rubix cubes alike. Miraculously, his desk is also very organized, despite the amount of stuff on it.

Despite his trauma associated with religion, since it's the reason his parents kicked him out after he came out, Nicky still goes to church most Sundays he's not working and prays fairly regularly. Faith was still a big part of his childhood, and not only does he sincerely believe in God, he doesn't quite want to let go of the comfort religion brings him.

Nicky's first kiss with a boy was in his senior year of high school, with an Italian exchange student that he had been working on a project with at the other boy's house. This was a month or so after Nicky had been kicked out and wasn't living with his parents anymore, and he nearly cried right after the kiss, because this was the first time he'd done something relating to his true self that he'd been able to do without worrying about his parents finding out and getting angry at him.

Nicky never exactly had an emo phase, so much as he went through a phase where he wore a lot of hoodies and jeans and usually had his hood up to hide his face when he could get away with it. It had more to do with his insecurities after his parents kicked him out than it did with any real emo inclinations, but after finding pictures from that era, Rosa still likes to tease him about it.

Speaking of Rosa! She and Nicky are absolute besties, as unexpected as that is/was. Rosa just finds Nicky's optimism and internal strength, not to mention his remarkable skill as a detective, really amazing, and because of that she basically just decided that this was her friend who she'd protect with her life. She likes Nicky so much that when he and Jake start dating, despite the fact that she's been friends with Jake for longer, Jake is the one who gets the shovel talk from her.

Anyways!! Thank you so much again for asking about my newer babies, and I really look forward to seeing what you make!!

(Also gonna tag @oneirataxia-girl since she wanted to know about my Pride & Prejudice babies, and @dancingsunflowers-ocs and @carmens-garden since I know they love Greta!!)

🐰 for Nickey, I love B99 OCs

AN ASK FOR MY BOI NICKY, HELL YEAH!! Thank you so much, @carmens-garden!!

Their berserk button: People purposefully breaking others’ possessions. He understands that accidents happen, but if you’re going to damage something that someone else might have paid a lot of money for or that might have meant a lot to them on purpose, he will not hesitate to go off on you.

Why their name was chosen: Nicholas was his great-grandfather’s name, and his father had a thing about “upholding tradition” within the family, so that was the name he wanted for his son.

Their favorite 2020s song: “Hits Different” by Taylor Swift.

Their biggest fear: That someday he’ll do something that will make all the people he cares about turn on him and cast him out of their lives, the way his parents did when he came out.

One turn-on of theirs: Self-confidence combined with self-awareness. Someone being completely aware off all their strengths and flaws and what kind of person they are, and owning that, definitely gets him going.

Their go-to sleepover activities: Watching a bunch of old slasher movies and playing party games like Never Have I Ever.

What candle they'd get at Bath & Bodyworks: Winter Candy Apple - he loves the Christmas scents.

A moment where they reached their breaking point: Just after he and Jake had their first big fight as a couple, a woman whose stalker the team was trying to identify was brutally attacked and sent to the hospital by their culprit. All the stress of trying to figure out how to make up with Jake, combined with the guilt over what he felt was a personal failure in catching the stalker quick enough, caused one of the worst meltdowns Nicky had had since high school, leaving him crouched in a corner of the evidence room gasping through his tears.

Whether they're organized or slobby: He’s very organized; his desk at the precinct could rival Amy’s level of neat, with all his files sorted and his collection of fidget toys all lined up in a neat row.

Their favorite feature about themselves: The fact that he’s a good listener.

send me 🐰 + an oc!!
