10, 14, 15, 37, 48 + leon & cassie ❤️

Do they share any hobbies or interests? How do these things bring them together? The two of them both like the same music and I can see the pair of them going to concerts together in their free time! Honestly, one of their first dates is probably going to see a band they like. The two of them both like to read, just different things most of the time. Cassie loves history books and Leon, bless him, he tries his best but they make him fall asleep lmaooo. Leon likes to cook, Cassie likes to provide moral support to him (read: sneaking tastes and sitting on counters looking cute) while he cooks so that's another way they spend time together!

I have to mention that Leon loves working out and Cassie hates it so much they 100% have an exchange ala Chris and Anne from Parks & Rec of "You had me jogging. I was healthy but god at what cost?"

Do they enjoy PDA, or are they more private with affection? The pair of them like a little bit of moderate PDA! They like to hold hands, kiss each other on the cheeks and forehead but they keep it lowkey during the time they're working together because...that's a big nono and they'd rather no one know so it can't be held over their heads. They're big huggers too (Cassie gives the best tightest hugs) and Leon always gives her a lil lift up cause she's so short.

What songs remind you of their relationship?

Hoodie by Hey Violet is a great post break-up Leon x Cassie.

I'm still rocking your hoodie and chewing on the strings It makes me think about you, so I wear it when I sleep I kept the broken zipper and cigarette burns Still rocking your hoodie, baby, even though it hurts

I Follow You Into The Dark by Deathcab for Cutie makes me EMO

Love of mine, someday you will die But I'll be close behind, I'll follow you into the dark No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white Just our hands clasped so tight, waiting for the hint of a spark

sHe by ZAYN for a more fluffy palate cleanser

She puts her mouth round the cigarette I put it out 'cause she likes that She always dance when it's raining Hey, when's it startin', baby? She looks at me like she's waiting

Also their whole playlist can be found here :3c

Who’s more emotionally sensitive/cries more often? Cassie probably is more emotionally sensitive/cries more. She cries from anger, sadness, happiness. She's just a very passionate and emotional person. Leon slowly becomes more closed off emotionally through the years which is...sad but Cassie is such an open person (whether she wants to be or not) that it encourages him to share his feelings to her at least. Most of the time. Losing his team prior to Vendetta and then not telling Cassie because he doesn't wanna weigh her down along with their family is a big ok stupid Leon moment.

Do they talk about their future together? Why or why not? Yes! A year or two into their first go at a relationship they talk about marriage and kids. It's a no brainer for them they really adore each other but there's just never a right time. Plus, they're very young at that time! So by four years of being together, they thankfully do not have any kids when they break up.

When they get back together, Cassie bluntly is like k when are you asking me to marry you and Leon is like BET. They waste no time because they've wasted SO MUCH time.

[kingsroad]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 💕💓 i hope you have an amazing day and that you feel better soon! xoxo

thank you so so much, airika!! 🥰💗💕 i'm gonna do my best!! once i can breathe, at least!

Hacker Man Real? | Erik A | Trial 2.4 | Re: So many all the time

The longer this all went on, the more clear the picture started becoming to Erik A, even if there were still a lot of blind spots here, and boy does it not look good. The picture itself was kind of shittily drawn but still clear in what it was trying to be, at least in his mind. A deep frown rests on Erik A’s face as he contemplates all of this, glancing between Just Erika and Eri. 

But first, a brief head motion towards KOKONE.

“Yeah, I can confirm what KOKONE said about her being the one to wreck the monitors too. I was there for that, it happened like a week ago and I guess they never fixed it,” he confirms as well.

So he just let that happen, huh hcdisuhciusdh Thanks.

Belatedly, Erik A gives a nod to Arakiel confessing his own crime too, not going to hound him on it but still acknowledging it. And, well, he’d been one of the people to bring up the motive for the killer himself anyhow, huh. With a sigh, Erik A raises a hand. 

“I know I’m not especially under suspicion anyways right now, but if it helps to narrow it down, mine’s Espionage. Not gonna elaborate past that, but that’s number 6 accounted for. I only told two people here about it before now.” Oh. Well then, that had some kind of implications, but he wouldn’t be dwelling on it right now. “I never spent any points on the motive to raise it, just resigned myself to whatever’d happen, so y’know. It was pretty much just the top five shuffling in terms of order.”

He looks to AIRika for a moment as they finish what they say, a slight mix of expression on his face, especially for that last thing in particular, but after a moment… he gives them a nod. He won't interfere with that, though instead... he does have one more comment.

  “Actually, by the way AIRika, the day that you voted for aiding and abetting I also did that too, so that makes three of us. Thing is, and I’ve been open about only voting her this motive so it’s probably not surprising, I voted for singular name Erika for it, so that one correct vote has a third’s chance to be her too. If you voted for Eri, and Byrne’s pretty sure the person he did’s clear, then it’s a 50-50 between Eri and Just Erika for Aiding and Abetting too, even.” And with other theories going on between them… Hm. 

He also gives a look to Ae-ra belatedly.

“Late also but yeah, that makes sense about texture! If you want to be sure about it and fair or whatever, someone’s free to come around and check my face and arms too. Will be real, have a little bit of acne shit going on right now as is usual for me, but it’s not like I cover it with makeup so should be easy to figure out, hopefully.” HIDSUHSDIUh help. 

He glances again, once more at Erika and Eri. That last implication that Eri had made especially stands out, just as Erika’s reaction to it did, but he decides to let the other’s words do the talking here for once, given how many other people have asked them to explain themselves already. Instead…

…Man, he wishes he wasn’t all the way across the room from Azr right now, but it’s not like The best he can do is offer him a slight smile to try and reassure him just a little. 

“Good to know, then, that it was just your own guesses you were talking about, I’m glad you clarified and owned up to having some assumed shit. Most I can tell ya for the future is just to be careful about wording theories as actually knowing something,” he says with a slight smirk. Then Erik A’s eyes flick over the room for a moment, addressing everyone else too without losing his casual tone.

“Pretty much everyone this entire motive’s been having theories about who could be what, that’s literally how we’ve been voting, so it’s not unreasonable to have some personal ones, yeah?”

He looks back to Azr though.

“Dunno what the truth will end up being yet, but… If you end up wanting to do those checks, I can probably help you, assuming we’re allowed.”

That that would actually let him get close to Azr too, but he’s not sharing that reason out loud.

29 - 39 + athena ✨

How did OC meet their significant other? If OC does not have a SO, do they want one? Damon was rude as per usual and Athena yelled at him for not having manners so they were destined from the start. Damon said I AM going to annoy this woman for the rest of my life and Athena said Who the hell is this douchebag?

How does OC get along with their parents? Athena very rarely ever saw her father - usually on holidays or at important events that required her to be there. He usually asked her how her studies were, if she was being taken care of properly, etc but that’s about as far as their relationship went. Seeing what he did to the people under his rule? She...really does not like him now. Her mother...was around a little more than her father especially when she was younger but that didn’t mean they particularly got on well. Athena had the distinct feeling of being a doll for her mother to dress up and play with. Once Athena started becoming her own person, her mother lost interest.

Does OC have siblings? Do they get along if they do? Do they wish they had some if they don’t? Yes, she had ten older siblings. Nerissa was the only one she was ever close to. Due to their age difference and lack of a mother figure, the older sister-younger sister relationship was more of a mother-daughter relationship tbh. Nerissa encouraged Athena in pursuing her passions and is probably responsible for Athena not turning out to be a selfish POS. She encouraged Athena to be worldly, well-read and well-intentioned. 

Her older siblings Auberon and Ecko as well as Celeste and Arlo enjoyed tormenting Athena and they didn’t get along at ALL. Celeste and Arlo were more childish while Auberon and Ecko just treated Athena like dirt and rarely spoke directly to her. Ven’dela and Athena might have gotten along if Ven’s mother and brother weren’t so adamant against the other kids. They’re both smart and I like to think maybe on rare occasions they played chess together. Noa and Sorenn were always polite to Athena but they weren’t close like Nerissa was.

Does OC have or want kids? She does and is very eager to be a better mother than her own. I don’t think she would have considered it if she was still involved with her family/on Goldis. The first time she thought about kids were in her fantasies where her and Vexx moved to some remote place on Orion and raised a family there. At the moment? It’s not really on her mind much since the future is up in the air.

Is OC/Would OC be a good parent? I think so! She’d spoil and love those kids to bits. Stay up teaching them about the stars, telling stories of her travels on the Andromeda, reading them bedtime stories. She’d be fiercely, almost terrifying in protecting them. Athena would want to make each of her kids feel special and would include herself in all of their hobbies.

What is something unusual OC has bonded with someone over? The entire Andromeda Six crew + having a shitty childhood lmaooo

What is the most important relationship in OC’s life? It used to be Nerissa and Vexx. Vexx is still important to her just in a different way? Things shifted...after everything and she’s still a little confused about how she feels about him. In general, the Andromeda crew has become the most important people to Athena. She feels like she finally found a family and in some of her darkest hours too. It’s sappy and she would never tell anyone besides like...Ryona and Aya but she feels like it was destiny they found her.

How has OC been affected by their friendships? WELL. Kinda negatively thanks a lot VEXX. He was a positive force in her life originally though and the Andromeda Six crew has also become important in her evolution. She’s less naive and more thoughtful and aware of how others grew up and what situations affected them. Her worldview has been widened by all of them and it’s great for her.

How has OC been affected by their family relationships? Oh ya know. Just made her cling to every kind person who gave her the time of day in her life. Made her prone to loneliness that she both loathes and feels comfort in. Made her feel like she was never important or good enough. The usual.

How has OC been affected by their romantic relationship(s) or lack thereof? Athena is touch-starved and needs affection ALWAYS. She’s also super insecure in relationships because she’s only had...one in her life and he keeps saying he never cared for her so. Thanks again, Vexx. She WILL wake Damon up in the middle of the night to ask if he likes her ksjldgg. Honestly, her attraction to Damon who is so aloof and not forthcoming with his feelings is her absolutely going after the least available person because she thinks she’s not worthy of love anyway. There’s obviously other things she likes about Damon eventually but that first initial attraction was her going “Cool! Let’s hurt myself again!”

Who does OC consider they have learned their most important life lesson from? Nerissa! She always told Athena to take the high road/focus on the things that matter when it came to her siblings. It gave her a focus and drove her in her studies and made sure that she became a kind person despite her tunnel-vision/lack of worldview/experience. She really does mean well and that’s thanks to Nerissa’s influence.

Venus hums, and she reaches over to gently pat his cheek. "You're not wrong. Grab my things and let Sophia know, would you? I just need to call the Administrator and let him know I'll be bringing a plus one."

"Of course, darling. Will there be anything else?"

"Yes, actually," Venus replies, and she crosses her arms, giving him a stern look. "Do be on your best behavior, James. I know you're still upset over not being invited."

"What, me?" Rockwell asks, giving her an incredulous look. "Swear by the Architect, I'll be a saint," he says, giving her his best innocent look. He makes a crossing motion over his heart for good measure. "As long as Ludovico plays nice, anyway."

Playfully rolling her eyes, Venus leans in to kiss his cheek. "See that you do, darling. See that you do."

5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 + cassie 🗞📍💕

Do they have any siblings? What’s their names? What is their relationship with them? Has their relationship changed since they were kids to adults? Yes! Cassie has four older sisters - Nancy, Lydia, Grace and Rebecca. She has a very close relationship with them. Their whole family is very direct and blunt so they definitely fight a lot (especially when they were younger) but they’re the kind of sisters that if Cassie called and said she needed to hide a body they’d hop on a plane to come help. Cassie is the baby of the family so they’re all simultaneously protective of her and love to torment and tease her.

Do they like children? Do children like them? Do they have or want any children? What would they be like as a parent? Or as a godparent/babysitter/ect? Before her sisters started having kids, Cassie was pretty indifferent to kids but she’s become so good with them. Kids really like her because she treats them like people and is usually honest with them. Also she’s like...super cool and brings them so many presents from when she travels. She actually saw herself having kids with Leon before they ended things and when they get back together they’re both older and have wasted too much time so she’s like chopchop! knock me up!

She’s a really good parent. Loves her kids fiercely, super big momma bear. Cassie is the Fun parent. She’s not a typical Mom though. All the PTA moms hate her and she has gotten kicked out of a soccer game before because she was yelling at the ref 🙄. She just loves her sons so much and loves them very loudly. They never grow up doubting that even if she does make mistakes like any parent.

Are they good at cooking? Do they enjoy it? What do others think of their cooking? Noooo. Her older sisters cooked mostly in the house growing up and she mostly just existed to sneak little swipes of things out of bowls when people weren’t looking. It’s a disaster when she cooks and it’s no wonder she lives mostly on Chinese food. I think she’d like cooking with someone she loves but by herself? She’d rather die. 

Leon is polite when she tries to cook because he loves her and he knows that her even making an effort to cook for him on the rare occasion is very loudly saying she loves him. I’m sure @solasan‘s Matty (Cassie’s best friend) is also pretty polite but is like let’s order pizza! lmao

Her sisters are RUTHLESS when she tries to cook but Cassie gives it back as good as she gets even though Leon is sitting there like :O please don’t be mean to the baby.

Do they like musicals? Music in general? What do they do when they’re favourite song comes? Cassie doesn’t really like/is indifferent about musicals but she’s a huge fan of music. Collects records, very pretentious about her tastes and one of the ways she shows love is “let me show you this song”. She usually is dancing and singing it at the top of her lungs when her favorite comes on!

What do they find funny? Do they have a good sense of humour? Are they funny themselves? Cassie has a very...dry and dark humor. Bordering on sardonic sometimes. She’s the dick who occasionally likes to have like...little jokes to themselves. She is very funny sometimes when it’s with the right people and at the right time!

Do they exercise? Regularly? Or only when forced? What do they act like pre-work out and post-work out? Before RC? Maybe once a week. After she joins STRATCOM, she gets run into the ground with training and then pretty regularly goes to the gym/trains almost every day of the week to keep it up. She’s very grumpy pre-workout because it’s usually early in the morning but no one can deny the post-workout energy she gets so she’s in a lot better of a mood after.

What’s their guilty pleasure? What is their totally unguilty pleasure? Cassie loudly proclaims her taste in music and cinema is refined and amazing. No one is allowed to know she loves ABBA.

Do they like energy drinks? Coffee? Sugary food? Or can they naturally stay awake and alert? Cassie is like 50% coffee at all times. She doesn’t mess with energy drinks really and doesn’t eat sugary food to stay up but she does love to chew on twizzlers and usually has some in her bag.

How do other people see them? Is it similar to how they see themselves? People tend to usually see Cassie as a prickly, stand-offish person that still does look out for everyone’s best interests and is reliable. Just not an easy team player and very blunt. I think Cassie ping-pongs between an inflated sense of self to protect herself from her very bad self-worth and just absolutely being so hard on herself that she runs herself ragged.

If they could only take one bag of stuff somewhere with them: what would they pack? What do they consider their essentials? Cassie often has to do this with her jobs through the years specifically with STRATCOM and as a war correspondent. She’s a master of packing light. Usually just spare changes of underwear, a t-shirt to wear to sleep, tooth brush and deodorant, a brush, some hair ties, laptop + charge, her pistol + extra ammo and a knife and/or taser. 

She really can survive with just her laptop and phone tbh.

3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30 + lyra 💕

thank you airika!! sorry this is so late xx | xi answered here

iii. did they have a good childhood? what are fond memories they have of it? what’s a bad memory?

she doesn’t feel especially entitled to consider it a bad childhood, since she was enormously privileged in terms of wealth and position ( or, rather, her parents were, which meant she got the best education that could be afforded and materially wanted for nothing, including extensive opportunities for travel ), but she was miserable. she loathed her status, she loathed her father for the way he exploited both it and her, she loathed the company he kept, she loathed being complicit in it; she wanted to loathe her mother for her complete apathy towards her, but she pitied her; she was constantly running away or getting expelled. she was consumed with feelings of powerlessness, and that turned to bitterness, and that turned to fury.

she does have some fond memories; despite her resentment at being shipped off and unwanted, she enjoyed her time abroad, particularly in france; she enjoyed summers on the island, when she would befriend the summer people and spend her time with them, on the periphery of some semblance of normalcy, friends, or family, no matter how temporary her glimpse into domesticity was; her numerous runaway attempts were exhilarating, and she developed a fondness for being on the road that would carry into her adult life, which she spent almost entirely on the road ( or on the run from herself or lingering ties that could connect her to her work ) prior to hope county. she liked the days she spent on the beach by the ocean; she liked the evenings she spent in the forest or stables. she liked the time lawrence took her out for ice cream without ulterior motives or one of his mistresses about ( she’d cancelled, but lyra didn’t care about that at the time ). it wasn’t all bad. never all bad.

ix. do animals like them? do they get on well with animals?

lyra adores animals, and they love her back. they were often her primary companions as a girl, and that fondness and familiarity never left her. they’re innocent. they’re simple. she understands them. if she ever weeps for the old world, it’s for them.

xii.  what is their favourite food?

she loves fresh baked bread, pastries, raspberries, and pomegranetes. her favorite is sushi, though; it’s the one thing she misses about her past life. yes, she has contemplated hope county gas station sushi in desperation. no, she did not ultimately resort to that. that’s how you know she hasn’t hit rock bottom just yet.

xv. are they good at cooking? do they enjoy it? what do others think of their cooking?

she’s a passable chef, but she doesn’t have much need or opportunity to cook for herself with the exception of the occasional evening she spent on her own in her home of the moment ( her loft in san francisco was her longest place of semi-permanent residence, so most of the cooking she did for herself were nights at her loft ). she doesn’t have any interest in letting on that she can cook once she joins the project; given shaggy’s questionable track record, she doesn’t want to get stuck with that responsibility. she wouldn’t have the time, even if the desire was there.

xviii. what’s their favourite genre of books, music, tv shows, films, video games and anything else?

she primarily reads classical or literary novels; she enjoys romantic elements, secretly being a romantic herself, but she’s mostly interested in expressions of emotion and the human condition, the more visceral the better ( her favorite story as a child was hans christian andersen’s the little mermaid, her favorite as an adult was leo tolstoy’s anna karenina ). musically she favors the 60s or older; her favorite album is fleetwood mac’s rumors, preferably the vinyl, and her second most listened to artist is billie holliday. she loves jazz, classical compositions and opera, but she prefers all of those live; she insists that recordings simply aren’t the same, they’re not raw enough, it doesn’t gut you the same way. yes, she knows it sounds pretentious, yes, she knows she deserves it, no, it does not change her opinion. she has little time for television or films later in life, but her favorites as a girl were always film noir or old hollywood; that’s something she picked up from isabela, though she doesn’t remember that part. she similarly doesn’t have time or much interest in video games, but she’s absolutely abysmal at arcade games. it’s one of the few petty things that enrages her. she doesn’t understand it.

xxi. do they have a temper? are they patient? what are they like when they do lose their temper?

yes. yes, she does. lyra carries almost all of her pain as rage, both emotional and physical; she’s constantly trying to outrun it before it consumes her, finding ways to redirect her energy, to use it. the project helps with that, it gives her an outlet for catharsis. it gives her passion a purpose, a direction. she was spiraling, before. she can usually manage to suppress temper flare-ups, but she dislikes doing it; it will come out another way later on, and it will come out worse. she’s an extremely impatient person, but she’s also fairly specific with what will set her off; she’s unconcerned about most irritants, so while her temper is fast and explosive and dangerous, it’s also not likely to be provoked over petty grievances or upsets.

in other words, it’s always there, but it takes something extreme and severe for her to actually take it out someone. she’s not going to throw a tantrum because someone cut her off or her drink order was wrong.

xxiv. what is their sleeping pattern like? do they snore? what do they like to sleep on? a soft or hard mattress?

pattern-wise, nonexistent; she sleeps when she can, which after the reaping sometimes means in the middle of the day face down on a spare mattress in black horse silo for fifteen minutes. she doesn’t snore unless she’s sick, in which case no one else in the house is sleeping, either; fortunately this is a rare occurrence. she’s actually not particular at all, she can sleep anywhere on anything, even if she does initially tell john she’s moving in because he has the only decent goddamn thread count in the county.

he’s her only sleeping condition, tragically; joseph’s prophecies have her paranoid and she can’t sleep without him. very inconvenient as the holy war approaches. catch her passed out in his lap while he’s trying to do some goddamn paperwork.

xxvii. what makes them sad? do they cry regularly? do they cry openly or hide it? what are they like they are sad?

sadness cripples her; she experiences all emotions in an extremely heightened state, she feels very deeply, and with the exception of anger, which she can externalize and use to fuel her, the affects of negative emotions can literally physically incapacitate her. fortunately — perhaps in part because of this — sadness isn’t something she feels often; when she does, it’s profound and soul-crushing, but she can generally either fix and remove herself from the situation ( running away when she was fifteen when she was crippled by her misery ) or repurpose it and experience it as bitter rage ( which is why she mentally snaps and burns the world down in a fury when she’s grieving ). if there’s no way to redirect it, and it’s something she’s left with, she’s gone. she’s done. she couldn’t function or move for months after the collapse. ( after that she doesn’t cry anymore; the worst has happened, she has no tears left ).

she doesn’t only cry when she’s sad, it also can be when she’s overwhelmed, including by positive emotions; her reaction to being told she was loved was to go cry in the shower for an hour. she generally won’t cry in front of others if she can help it, not because she considers it a sign of weakness so much as she doesn’t want to make it their problem or make them feel obligated towards her.

xxx. do they exercise? regularly? or only when forced? what do they act like pre-work out and post-work out?

not exactly for the sake of it prior to to joining the project, when she began training with jacob; she’s always been in good athletic form, she’s had to be with who and what she is — even before the project there was always the chance of needing to make a getaway, needing to defend herself, needing to attack, so she always kept up her physical strength and endurance, but she never had a gym membership or hit a treadmill three times a week. she’s always had an active lifestyle that’s kept her on her toes. she over-exerts, always, and because of the fact that she doesn’t have that disciplined routine, she easily burns herself out; she’s great in the moment, she’s a force of nature for short bursts of time, but she’s going to crash hard.

Twink Theory | Erik A | Trial 1.2 | Re: Lapis, Arakiel, AIRika, Eri

Oh wow, that sure was a hell of a lot of shit that’d just went down in the past few minutes, and he’d be here all day if he was going to address all of it, so he wasn’t even going to try. He’d already heard about the Ae-ra and Arakiel thing beyond shaking his head with a tsk tsk tsk… First though, he gives a glance to Lapis for what he actually wants to respond to!

“Nah, couldn’ta been a letter that was burned in the sauna, or at least not JUST one. The thing, or things maybe, were a LOT bigger than a piece of paper, kinda… draped over the rocks? Best we could tell it was some kind of fabric or other thin material, but it was too unrecognizable and blackened to tell what. At first we thought it was the missing robe from the sauna, but we found that later on in the laundry room.”

Something else utterly perplexes him, looking back to Arakiel in absolute amazement rather than distaste as he speaks for one thing in particular.

“Deadly bell pepper allergy??? Is that a thing?? Huh! The things that people can be allergic to in this world…” Hopefully he wasn’t also allergic to that, that’d be unfortunate- 

“Anyways though, yeah, I don’t think that’d be a super effective method of trying anything like that in the first place, plus what other people said about being scared of death and all that. Not to mention, that just makes the rest of shit unnecessarily convoluted with the knife’s involvement. And, much as I think it WOULD be super fun to test out burning stuff with a popcorn maker too, I feel like the reason the half bell pepper was totally burned like that was just time if it was left there for hours. Simple as that! 

Maybe it got left there by accident when shit went down in murder town, I’ve done that plenty with shit on a stove if I get distracted by something before. Not the murder part, but you know. Pretty sure I was the last person to use the thing at the party last night, I get how it works a bit now. They wouldn’t have even needed to clear out any popcorn, since it’s default state is just empty before you put shit in, and I removed all the popcorn I made for the party. Though grilling a bell pepper just sliced in half like that does seem pretty fucking inefficient, right??? They did a shitty-ass job chopping up the apples too.” Help-

But he wasn’t gonna focus on that bell pepper forever, because more things were out there that he wanted to address. Including… Right! AIRika had asked him something, time to answer that. He gives a snap and a finger gun their way.

“No, I did not! See anyone but Erik way earlier enter that is, of course. When I left at 6am or so I didn’t see anyone else come in and it certainly wasn’t bloody yet, so either I just missed the killer enter by a couple minutes or it took them awhile to actually try and help her. That or I’m the killer, but I’m gonna go ahead and self-testify that I’m not.” chdiucdhis thanks. 

He gives a final nod Eri’s way, though, and a sheepish look.

  “Yeeeeah, sorry about that! Forgot you didn’t have a door and sound travels, was a little too focused on trying to get Erisu to let me in.” A rare brief apology from him chsiuygys Oops, his bad! “But! Yeah I’m in agreement for most of that, and that’s good to know. Paislene wrote letters as a kind of way to journal for stress relief, she told me once, so her leaving letters that tried to help other people through stuff was probably a way to try and reassure herself too.

Clearly though uh, by the last one that was crossed out, it wasn’t working too well anymore by the end, sounded kinda like she was panicking to me. I’m figuring that all the times Eri heard Paislene leave was her leaving to put letters we found in each of the places? Eatery, Sitting Room, and the last one in the Trampoline Room. Decently sure those were all new, anyways, so we might have a better idea of where she was last night with those.” 

That’s the best he’s got for now!! Floridian twink, signing off.

💖, 🍣 , 💐 + nomi!

💖 pregnancy headcanon 

naomi is...shockingly a happy pregnant lady. just absolutely glowing. she has a great partner who is super supportive of her needs (sometimes annoying overbearing about it too) and obviously that helps a great deal but she also is just...happy. 

nate always listens to the heartbeat and taps it out on naomi’s arm/shoulder when they’re in bed at night

naomi has a panic in her third trimester pretty close to giving birth to their first child where she’s just...terrified that she won’t be a good mother because she didn’t exactly have someone around for a majority of her life and nate talks her down

naomi constantly pushes her limit of what she’s allowed to do work wise and bravo is exasperated and constantly trailing after her like naomi dear god sit down

adam is the first one that feels the baby kick which is...hilarious. he visits her at work and the pair of them are talking when naomi suddenly yanks his hand and puts in on her stomach. adam is...shocked and weirded out for half a second cause uh WHAT but then the two of them just sit there smiling together in silence for a little bit feeling the little kicks.

🍣 cooking together headcanon

some dates nate will just come over with some ingredients and the two of them will cook a nice dinner together and watch a movie

naomi has definitely had a hand covered in flour and smacked nate’s ass leaving a white hand print on his pants kljdgsgjkl

drunk cooking is definitely a thing (i can’t remember if wayhaven vamps can get intoxicated...pretty sure not) naomi gets a little tipsy and frisky on wine and distracts nate

:’( rip to the casserole they were making she burnt burnt

naomi isn’t a great cook - she can follow a recipe and might be able to make smth basic without a recipe but nate has SKILLS. he teaches her his fancy knife skills.

nate wants a nice, big kitchen in their home since they both love to cook!

the adler-sewells continue the tradition of cooking as a family growing up

💐 family/kids hc

nate and naomi have FOUR count em FOUR

honestly i can see them having five but i’m too lazy to develop that many jeez

naomi is so good with kids. every one expects that with her prickly demeanor that she wouldn’t be but she’s not that way with kids. 

she is the ultimate momma bear. do not ever fuck with her kids.

she’s a great mom but she never is the baking, PTA, soccer mom type and was never going to be - luckily nate is that person so their kids get the best of both worlds

naomi has always wanted kids she just...never really thought she’d get the opportunity. she just has had a lot of shitty partners in the past (not just Bobby) that she finally was like okay this probably won’t happen.

always makes sure that at least one of the two of them is at EVERY extracurricular gathering. 

even though she’s not a typical mom, her love for her kids always comes out in quiet and small moments. she’s such an empathetic person and good with advice/coaxing things out of people so a lot of the time the kids always go to her when there’s something bad going on and they need help.

nate always finds naomi taking naps with their kids when they’re little. she’s so tired all the time and one of those kiddos falls asleep on her and she’s out like a light too. 

one time nate found her on the couch with all four of the kids piled together taking a nap.

there’s a picture of nate with all the kids and that’s her phone lockscreen

MAIA!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 💕✨🥳 i hope you are having a fantastic, amazing, fun filled day! You deserve nothing but the best! 💕

THANK U AIRIKA 💕💖 ur so sweet !!! its been a rlly good day 😁😁😁

[attanos]

mia + leon !

airika thank you!!! 💞💞💞 my emotional support babies.... (borrowing leon from @deandomino)

who hogs the duvet

leon, probably! though considering if you put the two of them in a bed together they end up completely wrapped around each other, it doesn’t matter much.

who texts/rings to check how their day is going

(fallout but phones exist is my favourite au) they’re both always thinking about each other :/ so honestly they’d would both be constantly messaging each other or calling to talk about stupid little things. like mia would literally just call up leon and be like ‘hey, tell me a story’ and happily listen to him talk for 15 minutes straight.

who’s the most creative when it comes to gifts

mia’s a really good gift giver! she’s really good at reading people, so she usually has a good idea of what to give to someone that would be really meaningful to them. but also, leon brings mia back gifts from his travels all the time and they’re usual these neat little trinkets that she absolutely cherishes. 

who gets up first in the morning

mia is in the habit of getting up early because she has had to for most of her life. either early starts in flagstaff or getting the bar up and ready for the day. she doesn’t actually like getting up early however and if leo is there she’s more than happy to let herself be talked into staying in bed for a little longer.

who suggests new things in bed

both of them, but probably leon a little more than her. she’s the less experienced of the two and, at first, probably a little more unsure with that aspect of things. 

who cries at movies

mia is soft™ and honestly cries pretty easy when it comes to sad things in movies and tv shows but honestly you put on the right movie and both these fools are probably sniffling. 

who gives unprompted massages

mia knows how much leon carries on his shoulders (literally & figuratively) so she likes to help out with that when she can. they’re basking in the afterglow and she just moves around til she’s perched on his back and gets to work. she gives an excellent massage just fyi.

who fusses over the other when they’re sick

whenever leon gets sick mia is gun emoji and also fully in healer mode. she fusses over him but he also completely plays it up and she knows it but indulges him anyway because she’s soft like that. 

who gets jealous easiest

leon. mia talks to a lot of people in the bar, has a lot of regulars who are just a touch sweet on her and whenever leon is in town he just parks his ass in a bar stool and glares daggers across the bar at people trying to chat her up. mia tries to tell him off for glaring at her customers but he distracts her now that he’s got her attention and like 3 outta 5 times she ends up closing the bar for lunch so they can bang njksdl

who has the most embarrassing taste in music

leon. mia only really listens to whatever is playing on the radio. leon goes out of his way to collect old 90s music so that speaks for itself. 

who collects something unusual

leon collects sunset sarsparilla caps and mia has a small but cherished collection of old prewar post cards. 

who takes the longest to get ready

mia is usually ready to go in ten minutes. leon definitely takes him time. 

who is the most tidy and organised

mia! she grew up not having a lot of belongings to keep in line, then running vulpes entire household and then taking over the bar. so she’s always had to keep things neat and well organised.

who gets most excited about the holidays

holidays mean more time that they get to spend together (work keeps them apart a good bit :/) so they’re both equally excited! 

who is the big spoon/little spoon

they could go either way to be honest. but a lot of the time mia is the big spoon.  

who gets most competitive when playing games and/or sports

leon. mia isn’t really that competitive in things other than poker, which she’s an absolute shark at to literally everyone’s surprise. 

who starts the most arguments

mia, probably. most of their arguments would stem from her being worried about leon doing something reckless or dangerous. she’s lost a lot of people in her life and she spends a lot of her time worried about him because she doesn’t think she could stand to lose him too. 

who suggests that they buy a pet

leon wants to adopt a yao guai and they’re cute but like *mia voice* baby where are we going to put him :/

what couple traditions they have

mia likes to listen to all of leon’s stories from travelling around the mojave so they’ll just lay in bed and mia will play with his hair and listen to him talk about everything and anything. 

what tv shows they watch together

uhhhh, tv doesn’t really happen in fallout but lets just say it does they’re like super into all the popular shows probably and are that couple thats like ‘you can’t watch anymore of it without me and i’ll know if you do!!!’ they’d also be like stupidly invested in like the bachelor or something kjsdzl

what other couple they hang out with

they don’t have any friends in couples tbh. they hang out (aka annoy) cass and boone. 

how they spend time together as a couple

being embarrassing and tender. flirting outrageously, banging in mia’s bar in the middle of the day, trading stupid stories, playing cards/pool. just being around one another tbh.

who made the first move

they’re both constantly touching and flirting but leon kisses mia first. 

who brings flowers home

leon and mia is hearteyes x100

who is the best cook

mia’s an incredible cook.
