Characters:

-Connor Aldridge (we have differing takes on him and it’s fun!)

-Lincoln (why not)

-anyone you want to really talk about!!

Sorry it took me so long! Yesterday's somewhat mild headache turned into a migraine so no writing for me😭 what a great way to start out 2025 LOL

Thank you for sending these in, Memphis! It was so much fun to think about these characters again! I miss m3 so much, I really hope to replay it soon!

Connor:

•How I feel about this character

    --For some reason Connor has always captivated my brain. I find him endlessly fascinating. I used to just ponder him for hours LOL anyways, he's a character I both want to know more about in a canon setting, but also nothing more at the same time. I just feel like too much information could ruin the "mystique" so to speak.

•All the people I ship romantically with this character:

    --Teehee so picking canon characters only🤭🫣 I have to say John. My brain buzzes so much about John/Connor and I genuinely just don't know what to do about it lol. It's one-sided, John likes Connor more than Connor likes him BUT Connor does enjoy the attention and the ability to toy with John because of it! Connor does like John in a more friendly way, but he's definitely not afraid to lean into John's obvious crush if that means being able to get his way, convince John of something etc etc.

•My non-romantic OTP for this character

    --Marshall. I actually hc that before Connor went completely rogue, him and Marshall used to actually be really close. It's why Marshall knows so much about Connor and has such an opinion of him.

•My unpopular opinion about this character

    --Honestly I don't remember too many opinions right now and it's been awhile since I've been in m3 spaces as I've been too T*MG brained lately BUT uh hm 🤔 uh yes Connor is terrible but I think people make him out to be far worse than he is. I think m3 had some awful villains in it, and he's definitely not at the top of the list lol

•One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

    --We got to get like at least one cutscene where we see him and John interact prior to everything bad happening. It would have been interesting to see their dynamic. Knowing how these game devs are though, it wouldn't have been great lol. They're not good at like actually doing things. M3 has so many plotholes and odd decisions lol

~~~

Lincoln:

•How I feel about this character

    --Lincoln is by far my favorite protag we've had. I love him to death and I just forever wish the game devs cared about him the way us fans do. A lot of decisions they made in the game and behind the scenes just aren't great. Lincoln as a character makes me really sad sometimes when I think too hard about him😭 just so much has happened to him and he has to just "carry on." I love Lincoln's smile and wish we got to see it more💔😭

•All the people I ship romantically with this character

    --Once again, choosing canon characters only🤭🫣 100% Roxy! I love these two together so so so much😭 I wish they wouldn't have just been thrown together in a DLC, bc whether or not the DLCs are canon are up for debate and in general the DLCs are not as thought out. But anyways, I think a lot about his little monologue with Roxy right before they start dancing together❤️ it makes my heart melt so so so much.

•My non-romantic OTP for this character

    --John! I like them more as friends personally🫣 I really like their antics and how strongly they care about each other. I get why people like them together romantically, but its just not my cup of tea personally lol. I really enjoy when John and Lincoln have more serious moments, it's interesting to see how they interact with each other and what not. But also, it's nice to see Lincoln being a little "silly" with someone else too since this game is so damn serious😭

•My unpopular opinion about this character

    --Oh man! Hm, let me think🤔 I just do nawt think Lincoln would get along with the underbosses. Like by the end he can be friendly enough, but I do not think he considers them friends by any stretch. I do nawt know why the game's marketing tried to set it up like they'd be his new "family" but they did not do anything in the game to make that happen. It's so odd. And kind of frustrating that even by the marketing stage they still didn't know what they wanted for this game...

•One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

    --I wish we got to see him happier! They could have slipped a couple more moments in where he could be happy, smile, laugh anything.

    --I also 100% believe at least one DLC should have been set *before* the game or inbetween Lincoln getting home and the betrayal happening because we need to see him interacting with Ellis and Sammy more😭It's all I want tbh... we did not nearly get enough of the Robinsons and that is a crime...

[nevalizona]

John (erm you know the one...) & Sonny! 😇💗 oh wait....may I please have an Ana one too?! 🥺

Hiiiii thank you, hermanito!!!!! These were soooo fun! Thank you for encouraging my T*MG brainrot🫶 Got excited when I saw the first one, then realized who you asked for😒/j

John

•How I feel about this character:

    --Oh, *this* John... erm... it's been awhile. I gotta think for a moment🤔 okay, so. I've never been a big John fan. I've always liked Aldridge more so doing Aldridge stuff meant I had to think about John some and I think I've grown a small fondness to him bc of that. I do like thinking about him *sometimes* I guess... I do like John and Lincoln's back and forth. That can be fun. So I guess I only like John when attached to other people LOL

•All the people I ship romantically with this character:

    --Lately I cannot stop thinking about John/Connor so teehee. It's one-sided though and messy messy messy. But yeah. Aldono? Is that what their ship name is lmao?

•My non-romantic OTP for this character:

    --Lincoln! The only reason why I don't ship them like ~romantically~ or whatever is bc I just don't like John enough for that lol. I think Lincoln deserves better😇 I think he deserves to fall in love with someone far far *far* detached from all this mess. But canon-wise I ship Roxy/Lincoln far too much to think of any other ship for him LOL. This turned into more of a L.C. ramble but teehee, I'm okay with that!

•My unpopular opinion about this character:

    --🧍Anyways- I don't think John would ever get along with the underbosses nor want to meet them.

•One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

    --Hm. I wish we got a little more resolution with Stones Unturned and him and Aldridge. A little flashback of them working together when they got along would have been nice. I just wish we got to see more of them so we can understand why John treated him like an idol.

~~~~

Sonny

•How I feel about this character:

    --I adore Sonny so much! I need to talk about the Victims more because I genuinely love them all so much! Sonny is absolutely one of my favorites. I think he is an asset to the friend group and is closest to the Flores sisters and Leland! I despise the devs for saying that he would go out the way he does because that is just nawt Sonny. He is smart and caring and his brains definitely are needed and utilized in this setting. Sci-fi loving Sonny is passionate about his hobbies and loves to ramble about them to his friends. He's a part of some clubs and is looking to join more. He "drags" Leland and Ana to the movies or "makes" them watch his favorite shows with him. They tease him but they enjoy it. Sorry I ended up rambling more than anything but I was like "might as well just go on a tangent about him" lol.

•All the people I ship romantically with this character:

    --I wish the devs didn't just randomly throw out June (his canon gf) and not say much about her! But I would love to know more! I think Sonny/Leland is really cute too but I am a sucker for the nerdy/jock dynamic 👉👈 what can I say🤭

•My non-romantic OTP for this character

    --Ana and Maria! These three go hand in hand in my brain! I don't ship Ana/Sonny or Maria/Sonny but I don't mind those either! (Even though i think Maria is a little too old for him LOL) I just like them better as close friends! The Flores sisters literally always include Sonny in whatever they do. Nothing crosses their minds without thinking "Hm, would Sonny like this?" "Can Sonny come?" Mama Flores has seen and heard all about Sonny and she loves having him over^-^ They all gravitate towards each other when they're at any event lol

•My unpopular opinion about this character:

    --I hate the interpretation of Sonny as cowardly. That's not him. There's nothing about him that even remotely suggests that. Sonny loves and protects his friends. I do not think there is a single person in this friend group that is cowardly or selfish. Yes, not even Julie...

•One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

    --I WISH WE JUST GOT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HIM IN GENERAL‼️ The devs paid him *dust* in the "lore" stream -.- I want more to be added to his playlist as well🙏

~~~~

Ana

•How I feel about this character:

    --Mijita🫶 I adore Ana. She will always be my F*nal G*rl. I need Ana to kill Johnny. Or at least seriously injure him as she makes her great escape. I refuse to believe the Flores family lost two daughters to this family😔 Ana is tough and strong and determined. She has the love of her family backing her and giving her the push she needs to make it out of the situation alive. She's not gonna let her mother think she lost both her daughters. She's gonna make it home so they can at least somewhat give Maria a proper goodbye💔

•All the people I ship romantically with this character:

    --LELAND!!!!! C'mon... cheerleader and jock?! Of course! Leland being the "protector" of the group, Ana being the "tank"... yeah... they're a pair. He keeps the family off while she powers through any attacks they may make😭❤️

•My non-romantic OTP for this character:

    --Sonny!!!! *insert the part from Sonny's here because it would basically be the same*

•My unpopular opinion about this character:

    --Ana 100% should be and was the F*nal G*rl before Maria was forced into the game/lore more than she should have been.

•One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

    --We get a final cutscene/explanation of how Ana manages to get away from the family^-^

[nevalizona]

For the Ellis & Ivy Prompt bc I love the fact that you’ve given more depth to Ellis’ character than what the game gives🥹 I figured i’d take one from each section but you don’t have to answer all of ‘em if you don’t want to:

I. #8,

II. #1,

III. #8,

& IV. #9

Ohmygod😭😭😭😭 thank you for the kind words! I'm always so afraid that I'm ""ruining"" Ellis or not capturing him correctly, so that was very nice to read🩷 one of my answers got long as hell so they're gonna be under the cut. Thank you so much for sending these it!

Pre-Relationship

7. How do their friends and family feel about them as a couple?

When Ivy Nicole and Ellis first started dating, it became very clear that these two were gonna be a handful. They are both rather energetic, and they enjoy having a good time. Sammy was nervous that they would both encourage each other to get into trouble. The first time, both of them showed up to Mass hungover, Ellis got such an earful. Ivy Nicole was lectured by Father James as well. Both of them "laughed about it" but knew that they really fucked up. They tried not to let that happen again.

Once they started seriously dating, Sammy definitely came around to the two of them. He saw the kind of woman Ivy Nicole was and knew that she wasn't all bad. She just seemed to struggle with doing the right thing. Ellis is similar. They both get impulsive about something, letting their emotions fuel their decisions. Ellis was just expected to be a little better about that. He can be accountable. Ivy Nicole is still learning how to do all that. Father James likes the two of them together. He thinks that, in their own way, they're good for one another. He knows Ivy Nicole's heart and her struggles, and he knows that Ellis will always be understanding. Ivy Nicole has a big heart as well and is looking for anything to help fill it. She's strongly empathetic, and tries hard to give him a space away from everything else, so he can talk about his feelings, thoughts about the future, whatever with her, and not have to worry about anyone judging him or telling him he can't do something.

Now, when it comes to Ivy Nicole's family, it took her a long time to tell them about Ellis. Not because she wanted to hide him from her family. Rather, she wanted to keep him as a safe space for as long as she could. Running away to New Bordeaux was, in her opinion, the best choice she ever made. She loves being there. Loves the people. Loves the community she has been able to find. Ivy Nicole has a very complicated relationship with her family. She has the tendency to think that they'd ruin anything they'd touch. She wanted to keep Ellis, and by extension, Sammy and Father James, away from her family, to keep them safe and whole. To her surprise, her family was very excited about her Ellis. They wanted to meet him and Sammy as soon as they could. Ivy Nicole was nervous about that, nervous her mom and dad would say something about her past, nervous her brothers were going to be too protective. But it went better than she thought it would. Turns out, her parents just want her to be happy. Who would have known? They loved Ellis, and he seemed to get along well with them. Her mother enjoyed talking to Sammy. Her father floated between talking to both Ellis and Sammy and tried to make sure Ivy Nicole's oldest brother acted right. Ivy Nicole was both relieved and disappointed that her favorite brother wasn't able to meet Ellis and Sammy. He was in jail at the time. He never got to meet them. He didn’t get out until ‘69. 

General

2. Who initiated the relationship, and how did they go about it?

Ooo! Ellis approached her first, but neither initiated the relationship per se. They just kind of realized they were dating. Or they might as well say they're dating because they practically have been for a bit. They were just hanging out in Ellis’ room one evening, and Ivy Nicole just kinda reached over and grabbed his hands and was like ‘Are we dating? Have we been dating?” And Ellis was like “Holy shit! I guess so!” They both were very happy afterward and smiling at each other like crazy.

Love

8. Do they prefer verbal or physical affection?

Ooo, they love both! I think they think they like physical affection the most, but really, they both love verbal affection. It's easy to touch, but talking doesn't come naturally. So when either of them finally work up the courage to tell the other how much they love and care about the other person, it makes them feel even more “fulfilled” than they thought it would.

Domestic Life

9. How do they celebrate holidays?

They're not the most traditional people in the world. I think it's important for them to like cover the basics, but I dont think they beat themselves up over following things to a T. They like decorating for the holiday and the actual celebrating of it, but when it comes to the nitty gritty, they do the best they can.

General 4 + 15

Thank you for the ask, Memphis! These were fun to answer! Some of my responses are long, so I'm putting it under the cut aha

General:

4: Were they each other's first anything (kiss, relationship, etc.)?

They are each other's first serious relationship. Neither had experienced anything like that before but had big plans for their future. They sometimes would stay up late and just talk about what things they both want and what they want to avoid when it comes to their futures together. It can be overwhelming for them sometimes, so both would turn to someone they each trusted. Ellis asking Sammy some stuff, like how is he going to know if he found the one? What does being in love feel like? He's embarrassed to ask, but he wants to make sure that's how he's really feeling. Ivy Nicole talks a lot to Father James. She knows he doesn't have much experience in the romance department, but she likes his spiritual guidance anyway. She asks him if he's happy with being a Father and if he ever feels like he's missing something without love. Ivy Nicole loves deep, long conversations like this, and she eats up everything he says. Ellis and her bring their wisdom back to each other at different times, and both are relieved to see that the other *does* love them the same way. Both were giddy for days when they realized that they wanted to spend their futures together, finding their other half.

15: What is their most common argument about?

Okay, so they don’t argue a ton, but when they do, it's often because Ivy Nicole is upset about something. She lets her emotions control her far too much, and sometimes that makes it so she's either incredibly down or way too high. It can just be a lot to figure out how to maneuver her mood swings. She doesn't know she's bipolar and often has moments where she ends the night or after an episode, crying on Ellis’ shoulder explaining that she doesn't know why she feels this way. He tries his best to be there for her, but sometimes, it can be very hard. Luckily, she is never mean to him. A lot of her outbursts pertain to herself as she is rather self-destructive without realizing it. Sometimes, Ellis feels like trying to get her to calm down in any sense is like trying to pull a tooth.

Sammy has had to step in before and be a mediator. Give them each time to explain how they're feeling and how it affects the other. Ivy Nicole does well with this format. She really tries to take in what Ellis is saying and listen to how he is trying to help. Ellis likes that Ivy Nicole feels safe around them enough to open up and try to explain how she's feeling even if she's not sure how to do it.

💝 - How much effort do they put into appearances? Do they have a favorite article of clothing?

❗- What are the highest priorities to this oc (at a point in their life of your choosing)?

🧡 - Physical touch: good or bad for this oc?

👁️‍🗨️ - Eye contact: good or bad for this oc?

Hiiiiii Maximilian!!!! Thank you for these! They were a ton of fun. It was really nice to think about other ocs. It's really weird not being consumed by ocs so this was a great distraction! Thank you again!!!!

💝 - How much effort do they put into appearances? Do they have a favorite article of clothing?

Zeke-- He always wants to look good. He makes sure to style his hair, he takes good care of his skin, and he absolutely always wears sunscreen, living in an extremely hot tropical place made it so he absolutely does not play about sunscreen lol. His favorite article of clothing, I don't know if it counts, is shoes. He always has a nice pair of shoes. Doesn't matter what kind of shoes or the occasion, he always has something fashionable to wear.

Kit-- He cares a ton about how he looks. He needs to be perfect all the time. He doesn't like having a single hair out of place when he's around others. Once again, I don't know if this counts technically as an article of clothing, but he loves watches. Every outfit needs a good watch.

Sugar Pop-- She cares soooo much about looking good! She and Kit try to always look their best. She loves hanging off his arm and knowing that he thinks she looks stunning. Her favorite article of clothing is undergarments.

❗- What are the highest priorities to this oc (at a point in their life of your choosing)?

Zeke-- at 26, his "priority" is "being a part" of his daughter, Mariana's life, aka forcing himself to be a part of Rosaylie’s life. Don't get me wrong, he loves Mariana, but he would do anything to have Rosaylie back in his life. Well, not anything technically. He doesn't want to put in the effort to actually get better. He wants to stay the same POS he always is AND have the family he thinks he's owed.

Kit-- Mid 30s. His priorities are simple. He wants to be able to keep appearances while also still being able to commit various murders as he pleases. Oh, also, making sure he can support Sugar Pop and continue to provide a life she deserves as well as love her and care about her.

🧡 - Physical touch: good or bad for this oc

Zeke-- He is only okay being touched by women. And even that, it was mostly just Rosaylie and Mariana (the woman Rosaylie named her daughter after). He didn't mind them hanging on him and whatnot. Of course, he's fine with his daughter grabbing onto him. She always wants piggyback rides lol but other than that, Zeke really really likes his personal space.

Kit-- Do not touch him. He doesn't like it. He wants to be left alone at all costs. He only likes Sugar Pop touching him. In fact, he does find her holding him to be comforting.

Sugar Pop-- She loves physical touch!!!! She has fond memories of family members comforting her by rubbing her shoulders or head. She has always liked being pet lol Kit touches her face, and she melts.

👁️‍🗨️ - Eye contact: good or bad for this oc?

Zeke-- He very much likes eye contact. He also uses it to intimidate people. He enjoys making people feel small or defenseless compared to him. Eye contact is a great way to assert dominance right away.

Kit-- He likes eye contact. He sees it as two things. Assertive and sensual. At work, it's his way to let the others know he is above them. In his personal life, it's his way for Sugar Pop to know that he's looking at her and only her.

Sugar Pop-- She only likes eye contact the normal amount except for when it's from Kit.

6, 7, 10 & 15 for the asks you rbed! ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

Thank you!!!! These were fun^-^

6). Do you have any OCs without stories? Will you ever create one for them?

--A ton of them technically. They only get fragments and whatnot. If you mean with no story like just a random character, no. They all have some sort of story attached to them. Usually, these are only fragments, though, but with a ton of lore.

7). What are your favorite relationships between your OCs? (romantic or platonic!)

--I don't know if this question is asking me to say what my favorites are or just say out of the two lmao. So I'll do both. Romantic relationships are my absolute favorite. Some of my favorite pairings are Joseph/Lareina Peony/Franco Freddie/Silvia Genevieve/Cameron Ivy Nicole/Marion (I didn't pick any oc/canon pairings because this is about ocs lol) I'm missing some I know it lol

10). OC you most struggled to make?

--Erick. Hands down. He gives me a lot of trouble for a lot of reasons lol. But besides that, no one really because if ocs are too difficult to develop out, I kind of just move on from them tbh.

15). How many projects do you have going on right now? Are there any that you doubt you’ll ever finish?

--🧍genuinely too many to count. I can say with a hundred percent certainty none of them will be finished because I only write fragments lol.

GIRL STOP YOUR NAME IS SO CUTE

🥰🫶🩷 thank youuuuu~~~

But I'm going to have to take credit for it👉👈 in high-school I named myself Stevie after cycling through a few different gender neutral names aha

I hope to God no one here ever finds out what my birthname is😤 and if someone anyone out there ever stumbles into it... no, you didn't, lmao. I'm p sure everywhere online is either Stevie or Bennie <- an old name I used to go by before falling head over heels in love with Stevie^-^

Thank you for this message though, it brought such a smile to my face🥰🥰🥰🥰

[nevalizona]

Get attacked!! ✨🌈SEND THIS TO OTHER BLOGGERS YOU THINK ARE WONDERFUL. KEEP THE GAME GOING🌈✨ 🩷

Awwww thank you😭🩷 this is so sweet!🫶

🐇, 🪲, & 📚 (but nothing personal of course!) For the ask questions!!!!!!!!!!

Hope these are okay!! 🫂💗

🐇 ⇢ do you prefer writing original characters, reader inserts, or a mix of both?

        --100% I prefer writing original characters! Self inserts just aren't for me, but I respect the hell out of them!

📚 ⇢ what's the last thing you wrote down in your notes app?

        --I NEVER WANT TO LIVE MORE THAN WHEN THE SUN IS OUT AND I CAN FEEL HER WARMTH ON MY FACE. I WILL LIVE AS LONG AS I AM PROMISED A TASTE OF THE SUN.

🪲 ⇢ add 50 words to your current wip and share the paragraph here.

        --ohmygod I'm so embarrassed /).(\ I didn't realize this was the last thing I was working on but ahhhh please don't make fun of me y'all. But this show will forever and ever be my comfort and I was going through a rough patch and just wanted to comfort myself. I included a weebit of context but not a ton /).(\ italicized is the new stuff.

Miel nodded her head, unsure of what to say. She has always tried to be understanding of club stuff. She knows she can’t have EZ without it. It’s not easy. Sometimes, she wishes she could just beg him to leave it all behind, but she knows she can’t. There’s nothing she can do, so she embraces it. Some of the other women attached to the club see it her way, and some don't. Miel knows it's hard enough for EZ to balance this lifestyle on his own. He doesn't need her, making him feel even more guilty.

“You will EZ. The kids are still young. There's plenty of time for you to be their dad.” Miel reached over and set her hand on EZ's. They both looked at each other for a few moments before he flashed her, his world class smile.

🧡 ORANGE HEART — does your oc tend to prioritize family or friends?

😊 SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES — what are your oc's career/general life desires? what do they want to get the most out of life?

🍎 RED APPLE — where was your oc born? do they still live in/around their place of birth or do they live somewhere else? how do they feel about their birthplace?

Hiiiii thank you for the ask!!!! Sorry this is so long /).(\

💯 HUNDRED POINTS SYMBOL — share three random facts about your oc that others may not know.

--Lareina:

•She wasn't allowed to have pets as a kid so she was rather lonely. She would take care of a bug or two but always released them back within hours of trying. She didn't like keeping them in a box. It made her feel mean.

•At some point throughout the journey she wishes that she and Joseph could just stay in either Redacted and Rogue Waves together. She thinks about asking him if he'd like to just... go there with her instead of going back home.

•She wishes she got more souvenirs during their trip.

•She has the tendency to give herself late night, impulsive haircuts.

🧡 ORANGE HEART — does your oc tend to prioritize family or friends?

--Ivy Nicole: She tends to prioritize friends because that's all she surrounds herself with. BUT she will jump to immediately help her family no matter what, if they asked.

--Rosaylie: Family before anything and everything else.

😊 SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES — what are your oc's career/general life desires? what do they want to get the most out of life?

--Ivy Nicole just strives to be happy. She doesn't know what job she wants or what she wants her life to look like. She just wants to feel content for once.

🍎 RED APPLE — where was your oc born? do they still live in/around their place of birth or do they live somewhere else? how do they feel about their birthplace?

--Ivy Nicole: she was born in Las Vegas, Nevada. She moved away from there as soon as she could! She lives in New Bordeaux, Louisiana but is thinking about hitting the road again.

--Lareina was born in Washington probably some place by Hoqium or Aberdeen. Her mom is from the East Coast (I'm not sure where exactly) and they moved back that way when her mom was going through a lot. But then her Dad panicked and brought him and Lareina back to Washington leaving her mom there. Lareina has taken it upon herself to get back to her mom despite the fact that she has like no money or a car. (This is where Joseph comes into the story lol) Lareina doesn't mind Washington but finds it extremely isolating.

rant about your ocs rant about your ocs rant about your ocs rant about your ocs

Thank you kind anon! I will talk about a couple of my ocs here! Sorry for the late response. I ended up taking a nap after I posted lol

I was going to write about more than these 3 ocs but I realized this ended up being very long and I got shy. So sorry for this being so long!

Okay so!

Rosaylie:

●Been thinking a lot about Vice City!her. Like she makes for a good wife in crime because she was a daughter of a cartel leader and was expected to take over so it's very similar to that. She knows that Tommy is involved with crime but like can pretend she doesn't know. Crime keeps him busy though so she's often alone.

●But she is bestfriends with Ken so she spend SO MUCH time with him. She takes him around and keeps him busy (even though he's busy enough as as it is lol). No matter what universe Rosaylie is in she loves dance clubs AND they're in Vice City so of course she's going to want to spend most of her nights there. Believe it or not, once Ken gets a few drinks in him and whatever else, he loosens up some. Rosaylie only dances with Ken during these outings. And Tommy only likes her going to the nightclub(s) that are under his control, for her safety. Rosaylie doesn't listen of course and ventures anywhere and everywhere, only to get lectured by Tommy later on. She will never learn and do as she pleases :)

●She is also incredibly close to Lance. Often him and Tommy are busy though so she's doesn't see him as much as she would like. She likes when he's the one that gets to take her out on outings. He's fun and laid back. Which is a nice change of pace from Ken who is so nervous all the time, it really puts Rosaylie on edge lol.

●Lance let's Rosaylie do more than Ken does, and he's better about reminding her that Tommy will kick his ass if anything happens to her. So since he reminds her nicer (and isn't breathing down her throat about it the whole time lol) she usually makes sure to stay close and just treat the outings as a normal fun little thing. Lance and Rosaylie like to just cruise around and listen to music, enjoying the scenery. She feels calm and happy around him.

Jesús and Ernesto:

●Jesús is always getting himself in trouble. He can't do anything right. He just struggles a lot. He has a gambling problem and a drug problem and blows all his money on that. He relies on his twin brother Francisco to help him pay his bills. He doesn't like relying on his brother but he doesn't know how to stop doing all this.

●Jesús was secretly extremely happy when Ernesto said he was gonna join up with him and help him run the small gambling ring, Vito allowed him to have. Ernesto is far more responsible than Jesús and honestly wishes that he could just cut Jesús out of the whole thing. But he keeps Jesús involved and in line so he can't fuck everything up.

●Jesús owes money to everyone and anyone it seems. Which means it isn't completely uncommon for him to disappear randomly, hoping that some people will lay off of him or he'll find a way to pay them back even partially.

●Ernesto hates when this happens. Ernesto is a very angry individual. He's cold and stonefaced. It takes a lot to get him to crack a smile. Jesús brings out a pettiness in him though, so when Jesús comes back after disappearing for a bit, Ernesto gives him the cold shoulder and sometimes will only talk to him through Rosario or Vinnie (two of Vito's knucklehead underlings.)

●Ernesto only starts talking to Jesús again to make business smoother for the both of them.

●Ernesto is so deeply lonely though. Before joining forces with Jesús, he had been in prison for something he didn't do. He can't bear to look his family in the eyes, because while he was inside the family suffered a great loss and Ernesto blames himself even though no one else does. Ernesto will never admit it but sometimes he doesn't like to be alone so he attaches himself to Jesús.

Hello!! I'd love to hear your headcanons about Connor and John's relationship. :3

Hiiii!!!! Thank you sooo much for the ask!!!! I'll always look for any excuse to talk about Connor ^-^ okay so, I think John and Connor have a weird and complex thing going on. It's definitely one sided BUT Connor does care about John, just not in the way John cares for him, ya know? Poor John just can't seem to understand that.

Anyways, here's a few headcanons /).(\:

•When they're on an assignment together with some downtime, they'll lazily play cards, with a cigarette dangling from their mouth. They end up talking more than they play.

•John and Connor have gone on a camping trip together. It was Connor’s idea because he loves being outdoors. John didn't mind it but would have preferred they just got a cabin by a lake or something, lol. They like being isolated from everyone and being alone together.

•It's not uncommon for them to share cigarettes. Whether that be that they're just sitting together and passing one back and forth or sharing a pack, they do that often. They're both heavy smokers, so one of them is usually grabbing or already having a cigarette in general.

•Connor is great at reading John's feelings just by looking at him. John wishes he could do the same, but Connor is not an easy guy to read.

Gold and Clear for the Writer's Asks!!! ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )

Hiiii thank you for the ask! These were fun to answer^-^

Gold: Do your stories usually contain lessons or morals?

--This is a great question. I don't think so Technically. I just think of my stories as "slice of life with a twist" aha. While a lot of my "antagonists" are created with my fears and phobias in mind, I think that's the thick of it. Like I don't go out of my way to write anything with a lesson like a fairytale aha.

Clear: Do your characters control where the story goes, or do you maintain control?

--Hm. Since my characters aren't real people, they can't decide where the story goes necessarily. But also sometimes they do? Mostly it's me though. Stories sometimes go in ways I never expected but that's just the way the cookie crumbles. I don't think of it as the characters choosing that or whateva.

General

7. What is their relationship with each other's families like?

Ivy Nicole gets along with Sammy, and she cannot wait to meet Lincoln. When she finally does meet Lincoln, she is so shocked to see that's how Ellis’ step-brother has been like all this time. She thinks he's friendly and interesting to talk to but rather stiff and guarded. Ellis explains that's from the military, and Ivy Nicole believes him. Ivy Nicole tries to spend a day with Lincoln on her own. Once he's been home for a couple of days, that is, so they could get to know each other better. Lincoln explains that Ellis has told him about her through letters and phone calls and whatnot. Ivy Nicole appreciates this very much and is all smiles afterward. Lincoln and her are a bit awkward, but they get along just fine. He can see why Ellis likes her so much and why she likes him. They are both nonstop, always going going going and never taking the time to think if they should. They just are. Lincoln gets tired just thinking about having to hang out with them days on end, lol.

They do not see Ivy Nicole’s family much, and she’s the only one that talks to her mother since that happens during weekly phone calls. Ivy Nicole is fine with this. Even if the Harrises lived right down the street, she wouldn't want them near or buzzing around her head. Being far away from them makes her happy. Ellis understands this and doesn't push the topic too much, but would love to see her family more if she ever wanted.

Love

9. What reminds them of each other?

I think Ivy Nicole is reminded of Ellis when she hears someone laughing loudly or telling a story enthusiastically. She is just brought right to him when she hears anything close to that. She also thinks about him when she’s passing by some place and she can hear the music from inside. She's brought back to the many nights out they have, where he playfully pulls her out of her seat so they can dance a little. Honestly. I don't think there's really too much that *doesn't* remind her of Ellis because her brain is always just thinking about him. She's wondering how he's doing, what he's doing, and thinking about how much she painfully misses him and wishes he was around.

When it comes to Ivy Nicole, anything the color orange or yellow makes him think of her. She loves those colors and is always wearing one of the two, if not both. Something he doesn't see too often, but whenever he does, he thinks of her is sunflowers and marigolds, which she calls “*cempasúchil*”. He thinks about Ivy Nicole when it's a hot day and it decides to rain. Muggy. This isn't negative at all. In fact, he thinks it's just her. Outgoing, bright, and suddenly down and gloomy. He's never told her about that last part.

Domestic Life

1. When they move in together, who gets the most say in decorations? What do they each have to have in the house?

Honestly, I think they both decorate. I think they both bring their own flair in and love it a lot. They want the house to be the mix of both of them. Neither want to be dominant when it comes to their space. It's very important to them that it's a mish mash of them as a couple. Ivy Nicole needs to have someplace where she can have a bouquet of flowers. She likes to look at them, and she feels like they light up the room. Ellis needs to have a place where he can have a sizable radio. He loves having music on and likes to at least have something as background noise.

3. What is the wedding like? Who attends?

Ahhh! Their wedding is chaotic in a good way :) There is so much going on, and of course, there are some things that aren't going right because that is their luck. But it's fun.  I know they have a lot of booze and good tunes. Near the end of the night, when the sun goes down and there's this lul cast over everyone, Ivy Nicole and Ellis just talk about how happy they are to finally do this. How this feeling is safe and warm. Exactly what they wanted, plus some.

I think the wedding would be surprisingly small. Ivy Nicole begrudgingly invites her family but does it incredibly close to the wedding in hopes that they won't be able to make it (they do, they're just annoyed with her). Ellis, of course, has Lincoln and Nicki (who brings along Veronica /).(\ ). His Aunt Lily, of course, would come. Definitely other people Ellis knows as well. He has a lot more friends and people in the community who would love to be there for him as he grew up there. Ivy Nicole doesn't have much. She also invites Minnie and Estrella. She may even shyly invite Billie, her boss, and KT and Yvette, her coworkers, but she may chicken out. Ivy Nicole would really want Father James to be the officiant at their wedding, but if that doesn't happen, obviously, he'd come as a normal guest, lol.

3, 6, & 15 for the OC asks!

I'm so sorry this took so long! My brain has not been working! Thank you so so so much for the ask! Putting the answer under the cut because:

There is a brief mention of self-destructive tendencies, so please avoid this post if that bothers you! Nothing in depth, though!

3). Describe a memorable childhood experience that shaped your character's personality or outlook on life.

--Rosaylie: I can't think of one specific experience, but it was definitely something that had to do with Tellio, 100%.

6). What is your character's preferred way of coping with stress or difficult situations?

--Rosaylie: She is very self-destructive. That's always been her preferred method of coping with stress. It's not good. It's not healthy. She doesn't care. It's the one thing she can control in her life.

--Gracie: She tries to stay positive no matter what. If she is really struggling, she stops and tries to think of what the best approach is. She also tries to talk her issues out with someone, usually her mom, her boyfriend, Darren, or his mom. Sometimes, her little brother, Mason aha.

15). Describe a defining moment in your character's life that marked a turning point or significant change in their path.

--Rosaylie: Having her daughter, Mariana. That's when she realized what her future was going to be. She may not be able to change her fate, but she can make it tolerable.

--Gracie: Meeting Erick at the bakery. She had no idea that single, 15-20 minute interaction was going to change her life forever. She thought I was just another cake. Just another off-putting customer.
