Karaoke ⎥ Chicago Blackhawks

As per usual, I went with the players that I know. I have no idea what their music preferences are, this is purely based off vibes. This what I think the Chicago Blackhawk's go-to karaoke songs are.

masterlist

Connor Bedard - he knows every word to 'We Didn't Start the Fire' by Billy Joel for some reason that he never tells anybody. He is dared to sing it one day because it's an older song, so he does it perfectly and surprises every person in the room

Colin Blackwell - 'Love Story' by Taylor Swift. 100%

Jason Dickinson - a stunning rendition of 'Vienna' by Billy Joel

Ryan Donato - keeps it classic with 'Don't Stop Believin'' by Journey. It's very mid, but not bad

MacKenzie Entwistle - a horribly off-key version of 'Livin' on a Prayer' by Bon Jovi

Nick Foligno - claims he is too old for karaoke but sticks with the classics too and goes with either 'Hotel California' by Eagles or 'Under Pressure' by Queen

Taylor Hall - there's about a 55% chance he sings something Nickleback and the other 45% is 'Love Like This' by BlackHawk for some sentimental reason

Seth Jones - something Katy Perry, I feel like. No reason, just a feeling. More than likely it's 'Firework'

Kevin Korchinski - either something by Zach Bryan or a 'The Last Saskatchewan Pirate' by Captain Tractor duet with Reese Johnson (please tell me somebody will get it)

Philipp Kurashev - adorably accented version of 'Call Me Maybe' by Carly Rae Jepsen. Everybody loves it

Petr Mrazek - first an enthusiastic attempt at 'Dream On' by Aerosmith, then plays it safe with 'Sweet Caroline' by Neil Diamond, met with applause and sing-along

Connor Murphy - also claims he's too old for karaoke, then proceeds to whip the most excellent cover of 'It's My Life' by Bon Jovi out of his back pocket and absolutely floors everybody

Alex Vlasic - 'Shut Up and Dance' by Walk the Moon or 'Stacy's Mom' by Fountains of Wayne. Or some other 2000's hit

Context

My pitch that has Max and Chloe saving Rachel

My pitch for Rachel's story

Kate and Victoria after The Storm. Here it would be about recovery, healing and reconnecting. We would find out Kate made it out in time before the storm. I think Kate and her family would move to Seattle and we’d have a chance for Kate and Victoria to reconnect. It would be about reconnecting, forgiveness and working through their shared trauma. Bonus points. Chasemarsh happens!

Life Is Strange:After The Storm. The game opens with how Jefferson nearly kills Victoria, but is saved by David. The game is about Victoria's struggle with returning to everyday life after her traumatic experiences with Jefferson and surviving Arcadia Bay's destruction. She goes to therapy and tries to live and manage her family's gallery. One day her life changes forever. Someone she thought dead comes back into her life. Kate Marsh. Kate and her sisters left her family's rigid religious household and moved to Seattle to live free. It's about reconnecting and recovering from their shared trauma, finding peace with what happened between them, becoming friends and finding love with each other.

Warren's story. It opens on the ending where Max sacrificed Chloe. Warren is in the chemistry class and the gunshot goes off. Everyone is freaked out and when Nathan is arrested and Chloe Price's body is hauled out. Max is still in the bathroom. Warren goes to comfort her and tells him he is here for her. Then the funeral happens. But we hear everyone's reactions to Chloe and Rachel's deaths.

It would be about Warren helping Max through the worst period in her life and helping Max live again. Warren would be Max’s angel to a same degree as to what Rachel was to Chloe. Warren would be there for Max in her mourning and grieving period and helped her move on from Chloe’s death. It could end with Warren and Max going Ape

Throughout the game Warren is there to help Max through the darkest period through her life and help Max through her grieving. We'd also get to learn about Warren as a character, why he loves science, sci-fi and has obscure interests(My pitch is Warren is the male Matilda, was neglected as a child, so he chose books and science as his passion and sci-fi and it made him feel whole.) and show why Warren loves Max.

Warren basically becomes to Max as what Rachel was for Chloe. As Kate put it "even angels need angels Max" It could end with Warren bringing Max out of her depression and helping Max live again.

Epilogue shows that ultimately showing Max living her life and moving on. Show that Max still misses Chloe, but show her living her life. And just show Max living her best life with Warren, Kate, Brooke, Dana, Daniel, Stella and Alyssa. Even show montage of a friendship with Victoria. Show Max having a tea date with Kate. Show Max Goin Ape with Warren. Max doing photoshoots with Victoria and shopping dates with Victoria, Courtney and Taylor. Max doing group projects and games with Warren, Kate, Brooke, Stella, Alyssa, and Daniel. Max being Dana’s official photographer. And show Max and her friends graduating Blackwell and living their lives in Arcadia Bay. We just needed to see that despite losing Chloe, Max is okay and that while she will hold onto the memories of Chloe, she can live. The final scene is Max and Warren visiting the Lighthouse. The Blue Butterfly appears and it touches Max and as the Butterfly flies away, Max says "Goodbye Chloe as Warren holds onto Max and shares a kiss at the Lighthouse.”

for a more in depth look, see my Post-Arcadia Bay headcanons post.

For Nathan's story, I'd like an actual look into the Prescott family, show the Prescott mansion, show Nathan and Kristine's sibling dynamic and how Nathan slowly got under his father's thumb and hey even show nicer moments with Sean since Nathan was awarded "son of the year" so much that Nathan keeps it in his dorm and how what started as a good childhood, evolved into a toxic abusive family dynamic. Then we come to Samantha.

For story purposes we choose the Nathan and Samantha ending as canon, you get to be in a relationship and Nathan loosens up and we get to see a more bright and positive Nathan and it's the story of how this all burns down and how Nathan becomes who he became in LIS 1.

There are two ways we can play this.

Sean Prescott just buys off the Myers family and Samantha gets a scholorship to a wealthy college. With Kristine and Samantha leaving him, Nathan becomes vulnerable and malleable for Sean and Jefferson's abuse and manipulation.

Samantha is the first person to be killed

Sean would most likely see Sam as a distraction in the way of Nathan and the “Prescott family destiny” so he enlists the help of his old friend Mark Jefferson.  Either Sam leaves Arcadia Bay or she becomes one of Jefferson’s first victims in Arcadia Bay. Yes, I know she is not listed as missing. But Samantha could’ve been one of the sad cases of Jefferson not caring enough to memorialize Sam in the red binders. He could’ve viewed her as a disappointment. The worst part? Nathan would be so messed up mentally and emotionally, Jefferson would’ve seized upon the opportunity to gaslight Nathan into believing he killed Sam. Also, I’ve always had this feeling that Jefferson has been doing his thing longer than the events of the game. Been going on for years. In Seattle, LA, all around the country. It’s just now with his old friend funding the Dark Room, Jefferson has the perfect set up. The tragic thing is that no one cared enough to look for her. Sam did not have someone like Chloe who cared enough to put up missing person posters. Sean would do his best to gaslight his son into making him believe that Sam left him all alone which would be perfect for Sean. Her mother would care, but knowing Sean Prescott, he will probably bribe her to keep quiet. That’s the sad thing, we don’t know how many dark room victims who went missing and those victims might be people Jefferson did not deem worthy of being a part of his collection and Samantha could very well be unfortunate enough to be a victim to die and not be remembered. Not knowing what happened to the only person who treated him with real kindness or knowing that his father is right, leads Nathan on a downward spiral, which eventually shows a scene of Sean introducing Nathan to his dear old friend Mark Jefferson. “He will help guide you to greatness and your family destiny.” Guiding Nathan to the Dark Room and the character Nathan would become in Life Is Strange.

A post on what a more in depth look on what a Nathan centric game could look like

Imagine if Max's Rewind vanished...

One of the huge assumptions for Sacrifice Chloe is that by seeing Chloe die, Max gained the Rewind. Thus by going back in time to the Butterfly photo and not saving Chloe, that fixes everything. If you just pick at one or two threads the whole things falls apart and becomes what it truly is: a selfish divinity wanting a human sacrifice. But what if this was in fact the truth... that by not seeing Chloe die, Max doesn't gain the Rewind.

So then... there is one point in which Max would not have the Rewind and that would be when Max tries to save William. She would not have the Rewind. She would have no way of stopping William. He walks out the door and she knows he's going to die... and she doesn't go forward in time. She's stuck there. She is 18 years old and trapped as her 13 year old self.

However, Max has a far greater understanding of the world as a result and can fix the mistakes she made the first time around. And that would be that she refuses to stop talking to Chloe this time. She does everything to stay in touch. She goes to the library and e-mails Chloe. She works on her own mental health, knowing what she herself went through that first time, she goes to the school counselor perhaps, she mourns with Chloe (if from afar)... and something new happens this time around.

Max is there to witness the start of the problems with David.

Naturally Max is going to tell her to go to the authorities. Report David for abuse. But much as likely happened the first time, Joyce handwaves it away, the police ignore it, Blackwell ignores it. Max would be horrified by the fact Chloe is being abused by this asshole and no one will do anything.

But there's a huge difference this time. Because Max is in her life. Perhaps she talks to her own school counselor about this abuse and how no one is doing anything. Maybe she talks to her parents. In fact, I think she would do the latter... and I think that Ryan and Vanessa would listen to their daughter. More, they might even listen to how the police won't do anything and they know how worried Max is... so they contact Joyce. They offer an alternative.

Let Chloe come up to Seattle for the summer. It will give Joyce and David a break from the conflicts with Chloe, Chloe can settle down and be with her best friend... and I think Joyce would jump at that possibility. She may claim she wants a "family" in LiS but what she really wants is for the fighting to stop. She wants security. And I think that with time away from Chloe... Joyce might realize that she's happier with her daughter living away from her.

Perhaps Joyce is the one who suggests that Chloe start attending classes in Seattle. If the Caulfields don't mind. Nor do I think Ryan and Vanessa would mind. They see how much their daughter has just... brightened and become more alive with Chloe in her life. Chloe would likely have to start a year back because her grades did suffer after William's death, and having someone she knows attending the same year would help Chloe settle in.

Chloe meanwhile is flourishing. She is exploring the city with Max. She misses her dad something fierce but Max is by her side. Max is there to hold her when she cries, Max cries with her, Max doesn't tell her she has to toughen up, she says it's okay to cry. And I think Chloe would heal. She wouldn't be quite the punk she is in the timeline where she remained in Arcadia Bay to be abused and ignored, though I think she's embrace some elements of it. (Max would likely encourage her to dye her hair blue.)

Max would be surprised, but only a tiny bit, when Chloe dares her to kiss her. She'd jump at the opportunity.

There'd be no return to Blackwell. Max would be more interested in staying with Chloe, and let's be honest, Mark Jefferson was only ever an excuse to return to Arcadia Bay. And Max would be surprised to learn that Rachel Amber went missing one day. Perhaps she might even send an anonymous letter recommending the authorities investigate Nathan Prescott.

The death of Kate Marsh shocks Max. She wasn't there to save her. She doesn't remember her face. It's been five years for her. She forgot that she was on the roof, that she was the one to talk her down. But there is one thing that happens... and that's the arrest of Nathan Prescott for questioning a couple days later... and then Mark Jefferson going on the run as he sees the noose closing around his own throat.

Fortunately, Max now has Chloe there. I don't know if Max would ever tell Chloe the truth about the time travel. I mean... she might. She wouldn't be able to prove a thing, but I think Chloe would believe her because... Max changed that day. She stopped being the meek girl she was... and she remained in touch. Max was the one who reached out and helped Chloe find a new home when she was being abused. And Max would have to admit how the first time around, she just didn't stay in touch and she refused to make that mistake this time around. Maybe she couldn't save Chloe's dad but... she saved Chloe.

Would there still be a Storm? Would Arcadia Bay be destroyed three days after the death of Kate Marsh? Or would things go differently this time around? Without Chloe to be there for Rachel, would the spirit of Rachel seek to destroy Arcadia Bay? Or would she and Kate watch as Jefferson fled, a fugitive, as justice was served?

Ultimately it doesn't matter. Max and Chloe have a different destiny now. They are together in Seattle, falling in love all over again, slower perhaps, but more deeply. And they'd move on and live the life that was denied to them in another time.

[chloepleasestopdying]

There’s like a hundred fics I won’t write. Here are some of them:

Criminal Minds crossover, either version; version A, where the FBI gets called in when Max and Victoria get kidnapped and the FBI team have to find them. Max believes that Chloe is dead because she was shot before she was kidnapped but the FBI find her in the graveyard on the edge of death and Max gets shot herself in a standoff with Jefferson.

Version B, where the FBI get called in after a what they believe is a murder spree. Max and Chloe kill a pair of cops and conveniently the dash cam is missing. The FBI slowly uncovers the fact that the Arcadia Bay police are trying to cover up the Prescott’s mess and the girls were just defending themselves.

Both of these are a bit too dark for my tastes, so they won’t be written.

The Wilds crossover; basically Max and Chloe are part of the original experiment due to their past friendship and falling out. I like the idea of Chloe struggling with being the oldest girl there and also trying to stay mad at Max. I’m still crushed about The Wilds being canceled so I won’t be writing this.

The ‘Max and Rachel death match’ AU. Essentially this AU involves Chloe and Max meeting up the summer before Max comes to Blackwell and making up enough that they begin dating. Chloe and Rachel have been an on and off thing for years and had a huge blowout fight, which is the reason Chloe was in Seattle in the first place, but Max (not knowing the full context of what happened) says that Rachel is Chloe’s friend and tells her it’s fine that they make up. Rachel, having a host of issues going on, reacts really badly to possibly loosing Chloe and tries to cheat with Chloe. This ends up blowing up in her face. Max and Rachel then kinda have this low key kind of war for a while before Rachel owns up to her mistakes and apologizes. Not going to write this one because I feel bad about making Rachel a bad guy and I don’t think I could write her struggling in that way well enough to justify it.

‘Baby trap’ AU. Max is coming off a really toxic relationship with Warren when she meets up with Chloe again in their early twenties. They both acknowledge that there is something between them but due to their issues (Max’s toxic relationship and Chloe’s resent struggles with addiction) want to move slow. However this is quickly fucked up by the fact that Max discovered she’s pregnant due to a purposely pieced condom by Warren. This AU is much fluffier than it sounds, as Chloe quickly steps up as being a ‘dad’. I won’t be writing this AU for a similar reason as above, I’d feel bad about making Warren out to be a bad guy. Plus a don’t actually like babies.

The ‘Ryan is Ryan’ AU where Ryan Lucan is also Ryan Caulfield due to time travel shenanigans. I was never able to make this one work very well but the basic idea is that Ryan Lucan has time related powers too but more uncontrollable than Max’s and got stuck in the past when trying to save Gabe. He was unable to travel back to his own time and started a family in the past with Max’s mother. He has come to believe that messing with time is extremely dangerous but when he learns that Max and Chloe are in Haven Springs around the same time that Gabe dies he decides to act. I never got this idea to work despite my liking of it so I won’t be writing it anytime soon.

DAO AU, not to be confused with the DAI AU. Max is mage who gets taken to the tower later in life compared to most while Chloe is something of a modified Ash Warrior. William bred and trained mabari and Chloe has somewhat continued that tradition with something of a tempest flare. Her special interest is in different Kaddis’s and her desire is to expand the war paint, not just to humans but also the effects. Her quest for finding a recipe for a warpaint that prevents the Blight almost kills her— luckily she’s found by the last Gray Wardens in the kingdom who just so happen to include her old friend Max, who got taken along with Surana when Duncan was visiting the tower. Not going to write this one due to it being similar to the DAI AU.

"Welcome to the Theatre": Diary of a Broadway Baby

Follies in Concert

June 20, 2024 | Transport Group Theatre | Carnegie Hall | Evening | Concert | Series | 2H 20M

FOLLIES FOLLIES FOLLIES. THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY YEAR. THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY LIFE(?)

Last night, Carnegie Hall was New York's hottest gay club as every one of us turned up to weep over Sondheim's breathtaking score, played by a divine 30-piece orchestra. Fifty Broadway actors shared the roles and songs of this wonderful show, culminating in a lineup straight out of our wildest dreams.

Though we were robbed of a Donna Murphy triumph with "Could I Leave You?" due to filming schedule changes, we received the impromptu comedy show of the year as Beth Leavel grappled with a broken mic stand and brought the house down anyway.

Kate Baldwin as another eleventh-hour addition proved to be the best moment of the night. Her "Losing My Mind" will go down in history as one of the most divine we will ever hear. Not since Marin Mazzie has a theatre been so rapt, so silent, so in awe. She's always struck me as a Phyllis, but now proves she has the range.

Jennifer Holliday does what she wants, and what she wants was a smooth and seductive "I'm Still Here" full of gravitas even as she meandered far from the written notes and rhythms. She turned a five-minute showstopper into a nine-minute showstopper complete with a standing ovation to open up act two.

Karen Ziemba led six of our finest dancing Broads over sixty (or even seventy)(Mamie Duncan-Gibbs, Ruth Gottschall, JoaAnn M. Hunter, Dana Moore, Michele Pawk, and Margo Sappington) in a "Who's That Woman" original choreography to a standing ovation.

So many thrilling performances, one after the other. I am deeply in love with Barbara Walsh now, and it's honestly a crime she and Carolee Carmello were so underutilized by only having "Waiting for the Girls Upstairs" (Phyllis and Sally don't get much singing in that number, and it's a tragedy). I need to seriously contemplate the Barbara-Phyllis/Carolee-Sally dynamic immediately.

I am now dead. I have ascended. I will never come back to earth again. But the final tributes broke me. The reveal that Sondheim said in a private zoom reunion that Follies was his very favorite original score. The late Harvey Evans' epitaph. Original cast member Kurt Peterson ending the concert with "hey up there, way up there, what'd'ya say up there..." All of it underscored by Sondheim's brilliant work. I am in tears all over again.

Verdict: My Soul Transcended Space and Time

As of May 2024 The Huntsville Community Collective (HCC) is officially an organization openly working in Huntsville...

Though this has been in the works since the first meeting was held, since then Sol has found a group of people to form an official resistance party in Huntsville. Above are their demands and beliefs which are now public. See under the cut for more information...

The founding members include: Ames Shehadi Delphi Tremaine Dorian Blackwell Floyd Blackward Lola Silvia Torres Louis Ryan Prudence Wheaton Samuel Ahn Sol Rowe Important to note: While Sol got the HCC off the ground he vehemently opposes that any hierarchy be put on the founding members of the group. They all do their part. That said, some may not have shared their involvement that's up to the mun/character. Sol is one of the vocal members and can easily be contacted/makes himself available. Does going to the meetings make me a member? Nop! You can be as involved as you'd like or just come for the free food and conversation. Sol makes himself available for anonymous requests and concerns as well (I'm sure they have a place for people to 'write-in' anonymously at the library/around town too). It is expected that you volunteer some time with them if you decide to be an actual member but everyones unique skills are valued and how you volunteer is up to you. What does the HCC do? Throw community pot lucks/meals, host community meetings, tutoring, organize food/clothing/supplies donation drop-offs, help with the maintenance/beautification of Huntsville, plan and discuss the logistics of the upcoming election, and otherwise makes moves towards the desired improvements of Huntsville's social health, well-being, and overall functioning that people have brought forward to them. What's been happening since the last meeting? -They been out and around hosting more community meetings and helping with the clean up from the plot drop. -They also are probably asking around and garnering interest in an election and who people in town trust/would be happy to have represent them. Not just for Mayor, but for the community leaders as well. -After Maverick gave him the idea, Sol is starting the process of getting a mural going someone on Main. If your character owns a business and you would be down with having some cool art on the side of it hit me up! -I'm also sure Sol has been trying to set up a meeting with the Mayor, who knows how that's going. I'm going to assume not well. While I don't think Sol has pulled out his megaphone yet, Mayor Haversham better answer his letters or he will be in front of town hall making a lot of noise!!!

If Max never left Arcadia Bay au

So I came up with an au where Max never leaves for Seattle.

Basically Ryan Caulfield got a better job offer from the Prescott Foundation and something he just couldn't refuse. So the Caulfields stay in Arcadia Bay.

Max staying in Arcadia Bay means Chloe has a better influence in her life, stays in Blackwell and could help with Joyce to be the peacemaker between Chloe and David.

Vanessa and Ryan help Joyce through her grieving while Max and Chloe heal together

Max would be friends with Steph, Mikey and Samantha.

During the D&D game sessions, Max's character would be a Dwarven Sorceress. Name? I'm not sure. Let's go with Marcella Stormbreaker

Because of her dad's position, Max and Nathan would've been encouraged to befriend each other. Combine that with Max's friendship with Samantha, than there's a guarantee that Nathan's mental stability would've turned out for the better.

Max meeting Victoria earlier on would've helped Victoria loosen up and be nicer and help influence what the Vortex Club would later become.

Max and Rachel would get along, but Max would help Chloe and Rachel make better decisions, that way they can catch James in the act while none of them get busted or in trouble at Blackwell.

Max would be in the audience as Chloe and Rachel propose perform at the Tempest and Max is speechless and BLOWS up Chloe and Rachel's phone. "OMGOMGOMG YOU MADE IT SO MUCH BETTER"

Bonus points. When Chloe and Rachel kiss, Max takes the picture and titles it "Arcadia Baes"

Because of Max's help to get Chloe and David to get along better, Max tips David off about Damon, they stake out the junkyard meeting and when Damon pulls his knife out, David takes him down and saves Rachel from being stabbed. Rachel steals Damon's phone and finds out where Sera is.

Max, Chloe and Rachel investigate James' office and finds out the truth.

When Eliot threatens Chloe in James' office, Rachel calls the cops on him and is caught red handed with Eliot's fist raised while Chloe's hands raised in a defensive position. Eliot is arrested while Rachel embraces Chloe with Eliot swearing revenge.

James is exposed and is fired as a DA and his license barred.

Oh, and they give James' money stash to Sera. Afterwords Rachel moves out and moves in with Sera and they get to start fresh.

Throughout the three years, leading up to her entry into Blackwell, Max meets Warren and there's an immediate spark. Chloe and Rachel tease Max about him relentlessly. "Our little wallflower is in love" "So precious, nerd love!" all while Max turns shades of red that aren't scientifically possible. And Max finally gains the courage to ask Warren out on a date. By the time they both enter Blackwell, Max and Warren are in a committed relationship.

Max also befriends Kate Marsh before Blackwell. One day while Max was passing by the church taking pictures, she bumps into Kate and they're both apologetic, one thing leads to another and Kate offers Max on a tea date, they hit it off and become best friends.

The events of LIS: Because of Max's influence, the following changed.

Chloe graduated from Blackwell

Chloe and David get along like Joyce always wanted

Chloe and Rachel are still very much in love

Max and Warren are in a committed relationship

Because of Max's influence on the Vortex Club, the Vortex Club is more nice, less elitist and does more to uplift Blackwell than make everyone to be ashamed of Blackwell.

In this version of the story, Max can gently push Kate and Victoria to be friends or something more

Kate never goes viral, but she is still drugged

Rachel gets a complete scholorship to ULA, but is postponed because of reasons you'll find out.

Rachel doesn't seek comfort in Frank or Jeffershit

Nathan doesn't fall under Jeffershit's abuse

Eliot becomes Jeffershit's partner. He wouldn't meekly fall in line like Nathan did, there is no abuse or gaslighting that got him to do this. Eliot's in it on his own free will and because he's as vile as Jefferson. Eliot can help replicate the formula that creates the drugs that Frank sells. Jefferson either kills Eliot for always challenging him or Jefferson keeps him in line by promising to let Eliot kill Rachel and "keep" Chloe, but Jefferson is planning to pin the whole thing on Eliot as he's way to eager and bloodthirsty.

But where things change is that Samantha is the one who disappears, not Rachel.

Samantha's disappearance and Kate's drugging is what propels Max, Chloe, Rachel, Warren, Victoria, and Nathan to work together and figure out what happened all the while finding out dark truths about Blackwell and the Prescott Foundation while Ryan Caulfield is an unwitting accomplice to Sean Prescott's plans for the storm and Pan Estates.

Long story short, Rachel is the key to the Storm happening. If Rachel dies, the storm conjures and wipes out Arcadia Bay.

Rachel is abducted during the events of Episode 4 while Max and co look for her. which results in Eliot and Jefferson drugging and kidnapping Max and Chloe.

Warren would call in David and the police and provides the evidence from the investigation to help find the Dark Room.

There are choices that would determine Rachel's fate.

If you have enough influence on Nathan, then he stands up to Sean and ends the "Prescott destiny" by finding the Dark Room in time and shoots Eliot dead before he can kill Rachel.

Failing to have enough influence on Nathan results in Rachel's death and the oncoming storm.

David arrests Jefferson and saves Max, Chloe and Rachel. The storm is prevented and Arcadia Bay is saved.

Sean Prescott is arrested and the Prescott Foundation shuts down.

But, Ryan Caulfield has acquired enough funds to start up his own business and uses his own wealth and influence to heal the damage caused by The Prescott Foundation. The Caulfield Institute provides education, wildlife and environmental protection and helps Arcadia Bay heal.

Epilogue.

Chloe and Rachel head to LA. Rachel goes to ULA, Chloe follows her angel to their Santa Monica Dream

Max and Warren head to UO to fulfill their dreams in the pursuit of science and photography and plan their future together.

Max, keeps in contact with Chloe and Rachel and never grow apart. They text, do video calls and visit each other now and then. Hella best friends forever!

Nathan finally free of his father and the Prescott shame of a reputation leaves and plans to visit his sister Kristine and hopes to find a career in Marine Biology that helps him be closer to the whales.

Victoria leads her family's gallery while pursuing her dreams of photography

Kate writes books for children and does podcasts to help teenagers and young adults with bullying and any trauma they may be suffering from.

For both - top 3 non-relatives that have caught your eye?

"Non-relatives? And here I thought that was sort of missing the point of camp here. Honestly Ethan Blackwells is adorable. Guy never puts on clothes and like, I could watch that dude be naked twenty four seven so damn easily. darius jacksons is super hot and declan o’connells is super adorable and hey, how could you not like that?

"Give me a cute twink and a tight cunt to break and I'm happy, my friends. Both Ryan and Remi Roth are adorable. And whatever other cute little thing wearing nothing but a pair of tight trunks on the beach might lure me away. I'm not picky, as long as the sex is memorable and you're not fucking boring."
