📝Richard Roo

| Send me 📝 and i'll give you a random amount of headcanons/facts about my muse!

So I feel most things you do already know mostly I'm just gonna confirm stuff. Mainly this is meta about Richards creation and idk I hope that's interesting?

Richard was never meant to be a oc in a sense. He was just gonna be the boss of another charater his friend Valerie who was meant to be the oc basically.

I ended up getting intrested in why Richard was him and well here we are.

Richards the first oc I've made in adult hood the last oc i made I'm pretty sure was Nina back in 2012 Richard I made roughly in 2019. So for seven years I have made a charater and thats kind of why Richard is speical to me.

Richard has inspirations from a few of my favorite charaters such as mamoru from sailormoon.

I know you don't know a think about sailormoon buy I will say this Bailey is pretty similar to usagi/sailormoon in thats he's a crybaby who loses to eat is lazy and is best know for thier good heart.

Another inspiration for Richard was nightwing from DC comics its where his name came from Richard.

In the vein of this I did name Richard's father Thomas after Batmans dad. I almost name Zane Bruce for this connection as well and his mother Martha but went with Meldoy instead because of the joke that she's the opposite of a meldoy. For Zane? I wanted his name to stand out so I gave him a different name

Mostly the inspirations were for design and why blue became his color.

Richard maybe someone who can talk to people and such easily but in truth? He's an introvert. His energy is zapped interacting with others its partly why a café is a perfect place to work since they are quiet.

I wouldn't call Richard shy though he's not that kind of introvert he is for sure someone who enjoys being indoors more

when it comes to his mental health Antiexy is something he has for sure. In truth though he deals with more than one kind because I'm a bitch to this bird. Richard has OCD for one it's why he is so set in his ways and has to have things just show why breaking from a routine can be difficult for him even. Richard also deals with PTSD. He did come from an abusive household and it was his trauma comes from its also why Richard has so much trouble with his emotions because it's difficult for him to control them in the first place. Richard does indeed have triggers as well but they are minor. And just general anxiety.

When it comes to Richard's way of showing love it's because he just doesn't want people to go through the things he does. He wants the people he loves to be kinder to themselves. He wants them to have better. For Buddy a parent who will support them for Bailey a Partner that will always stand by them. It is not something he actively thinks but it is why he is the way with them.

Richard used to buy from Bailey company and I'm sure there are records of his purchases yet he had no idea who Bailey was when they met because well he doesn't follow all of that kind of buzz.

Richard moved to St.Carnad for a reason, his parents always claimed it was an awful place to start a business so out of spite he picked there to start up his business.

Richard started to draw as a child because he just wanted to draw cartoons, though his style got more realistic (in my mind that's his style) because he found interest in sketching stuff. To this day its how he thinks the best he doesn't draw he feels but its how he gathers his thoughts often when gifting something he made it's because he came to some conclusions when drawing the piece.

Richard in a sense was sort of in an enraged marriage as a teen. This girl was his first partner even. His mother wanted him to marry the daughter of a friend because thier companies were going to merge. Richard only dated her as a way to get out of the house. So in her mind, Richard was promised to this girl. In the Childhood au this is why Melody hates Bailey because Bailey was in the way of her plan. not that it mattered Richard and the girl didn't like each other is was a matter of convincing. They are still friends though. They never even kissed or held hands.

Yeah so those tats on Richard hmm? he has a lot uh? Along with a scare? that he hates yet he actively scared himself with tattoos? So it's not common but lets just say sometimes people who like tattoos also were people with certien tendencies of the self-harming route.

The only ones that don't apply to this is the ones he got of Bailey's name and Buddy's name those ones were different like his one for Zane. These are people who take a lot of that pain away from him. It way those ones are so different from the rest of his tattoos.

Richard subscribes to Bailey's company magainze and he keeps any covers Bailey is on for himself. Look he don't care he married to Bailey. Bailey is hot and he will keep those photos despite the fact he get far better personally.

Richard doesn't care what others say he loves his husband he knows Bailey has his own demons. He knows Bailey hates not always being thier big happy fluffy self but he wants Bailey to know he doesn't have to be around Richard. Richard wants to be what Bailey is for him his safe space. A no-judgment zone anything said between them stays between them. Bailey is far more open compared to Richard but he knows there things Bailey keeps as well and he'll never press them to tell Bailey can share as much and as little as they wish he'll still love them.

Richard thinks Bailey is a better person than him because well unlike Richard Bailey is a bit more willing to fess up to his fuck ups. Richard rather act he is perfect Bailey may live up to his own flaws like being lazy or being overly emotional. But in truth Richard admires that Bailey can be open as they are Bailey is what makes Richard strive to be better its why Bailey gets to see Richard be the dork he is because well he's fine with Bailey seeing that side.

Richard favorite genre of books and movies? romance uwu he is always reading a love story and aromatic movies are his favorite romcoms mostly but the Notebook is his favorite. To this day it still makes him cry and yes he will get embarrassed about it

Richard also reads the spicy kind of romance stories uwu mans like his smut and has read it in public before he got no shame uwu

Richard loathes public transportation

Suits: Everything's Changed (9x01)

Ah Suits. What a ride it has been. I'm feeling super nostalgic about this last season. Let's dive right in!

Cons:

There has been so much in-fighting at this ridiculously long-named firm over the past several years, and I know that's what drives the drama for the show, but it can get a bit tiresome and repetitive, all at the same time. As I'll discuss below, I actually appreciate the way they're turning the fighting on its head, and showing these people band together... but there's still something wearying about the moment when Sam says she'll reveal the truth about Harvey and Donna breaking privilege, if Louis and Harvey and Alex vote to take Robert's name off the wall. It's another threat, another ultimatum. These people are children sometimes.

There were also a few moments that were just a little too silly for me to handle, plot-wise. Once is Donna telling Harvey to go fight Sam in the boxing ring. She makes this idle suggestion, and then in the next instant she's convincing Harvey that it's what Samantha "needs," and that if Harvey doesn't go and fight her, he'll be disrespecting her in some way. This is just such a plot contrivance. Donna tries to make it like a gender equality thing, and it just does not work. So much silliness.

Also, why do Sheila and Katrina automatically hate each other? They've never met before. I felt like that was a weird decision to make. I'm not saying I wouldn't understand it if these two rubbed each other the wrong way... but why decide to start off their relationship in that way? Sheila seems to come around to Katrina very quickly, so it's even more strange that she walks into the room declaring "we don't like each other." That felt like an odd choice.

Pros:

As I mentioned above, in some ways I don't mind all the crazy drama about Robert's name coming off the door, and who's poaching clients from who, and the factions going on among the partners. Why? Because at the end of the episode, they stand by each other. Harvey takes the hit, giving some of his clients away to Rand Kaldor. Zane's name stays on the wall. Alex doesn't take the opportunity to stab Louis in the back. Harvey keeps his word to Samantha. As the episode ends, it's only the outside influence of the New York Bar coming in that might ruin things for them. Their internal loyalties manage to stand the test of a lot of stress and trauma.

At one point, I was inclined to be annoyed by the fact that Robert wasn't in this episode to speak his own mind. I don't know if that was an actor availability thing or what, but actually I think it ended up working out well that Robert couldn't be in this episode. Everyone was talking about him kind of like he'd died, even though he'd just stepped down. But it goes to show how important reputation and legacy is to these people. It was why Jessica's name coming off the wall was such a big deal. It's why all the squabbling about name partner, and managing partner, has taken so long to untangle. It might get kind of frustrating sometimes, but this show has made a good case for why it matters to these characters.

I've never been all that in to the idea of Harvey and Donna, and I thought that their big getting-together scene at the end of last season was kind of underwhelming. So I was nervous to see how they were going to pull that off. I'm happy to say, I actually found them very cute and charming and romantic here, much more-so than before. They both acknowledge how momentous this is, but at the same time, they're instantly comfortable, like they've been together all along. That's exactly the right balance to strike.

I also appreciate that the difficulties and realities of life don't just go away because the two of them have finally gotten their act together. For example, Harvey is distressed to discover that Donna and Thomas technically hadn't broken up yet when he went over there that night. Donna is quick to reassure him that he didn't do anything wrong, but it's still a conversation they probably should have had. I like that things feel easy and natural for them right away, but that doesn't mean there's no room to grow.

As is always the case with this review, I'm saving the Mike mentions for the end. Because even though the guy hasn't been on the show in a full season, he's still my favorite thing about it. And knowing that he's coming back for at least one precious episode this season? Man, my heart is ready to explode. And we got a glut of cute Mike Ross material this week. First of all, how adorable is it that Donna and Harvey each call their besties (Rachel and Mike, respectively) to tell them the news? It's like they're a bunch of kids, eager to share in their joy. It's a very stereotypical thing to do, to immediately want to share news about one's love life. But just the thought of Harvey leaving a giddy voicemail for Mike is like the cutest thing of all time.

Later, Harvey has a great bonding moment with Samantha. I really like their relationship, and how it echoes the mentor/mentee thing that Harvey and Mike had, without being just an echo of it. In this episode, we get that comparison directly, as Harvey invokes Mike's name to tell Samantha how similar they are. The way he's able to talk to her and work with her is similar to how he could work with Mike. It makes me sad, it makes me long for the good ol' days, but I'm also happy for Harvey that he's finding valuable relationships in his life, even when important people like Mike and Jessica have moved on.

And then we get that romantic Donna/Harvey scene at the end, which was just lovely and cheesy and perfect, and made all the more-so by the setting. Apparently Mike asked Harvey to rent out Mike and Rachel's apartment in New York, but he didn't do it, paying the rent on it with a fake name (Rick Sorkin) and leaving it empty. Why? IN CASE THEY CAME BACK. Which is adorable and also so sad and perfect. But Harvey feels differently about the apartment now. It used to remind him of what he'd lost, but now it reminds him of how he's learned to let things go and live his life. He can miss having Mike around without it being a horrible negative aspect to his life. I just... can't believe that even in this romantic couple moment, all about Donna and Harvey, Harvey still manages to make it about Mike. I'm living for it.

So that's where I'll stop for now. This show will never again capture the joy and chemistry that it had in its earlier seasons, but I still find plenty to enjoy. Notice how I managed to write three whole paragraphs about a character who's not even on the show anymore? Yeah. I may have a problem.

8/10

ya book moments that made me cry

i’m really in my feels right now y’all so i’m just going to type random moments of ya books that made me cry (very spoilerly

so i just finished reading 99 days (which is what got me in my feels) and i didn’t actually cry but i got teary-eyed

this book was so good

sometimes i just enjoy a trashy ya, sue me

part of me wanted her to end up with gabe, part of me wanted her to end up with patrick, and part of me wanted her to just start anew

but in a twisted way, i kind of did want her and patrick to have sex, it would have made everything even more juicier

anyway, this got me in my feels so i started re-reading other fave ya books

the selection series: um the one is just a big cry fest?

the scene with maxon and america in the rain? helped invent romance?

the letters he wrote her?

but tbh the moment i cried when i first read them was when he actually breaks it off toward the end, with like 20 pages left and i actually thought they weren’t going to end up together and i was devastated

and then the battle scene with the whole “break my heart” quote??? also pure poetry

damn maxon and america was a really good ship

divergent

so obviously the scenes where tris dies??? remember how almost no one saw that coming? like ???? i think i find out the spoiler ahead of time and couldn’t even read allegiant for months and then finally read it and still cried, even though i knew what was coming

the hunger games

tbh, i get teary eyed just thinking about peeta and katniss and all they went through and how much he loved her??? like my rational brain knows the relationship is not healthy and is problematic, but they were my first OTP that i shipped HARD and i just???? they’re so tragic

um, not technically the book, but i cried seeing the bread scene happened in the movies

definitely cried at the end of catching fire

definitely also cried a bunch of times during mockingjay

like when peeta tried to strangle her? definitely tears and screaming

when katniss killed coin and tried to kill herself and peeta held her back and it was like “let me go” and then “i can’t” WATERWORKS

WHEN PEETA PLANTS PRIMROSES

THE FUCKING EPILOGUE

tbh idk how my mockingjay copy was not soaked in tears

the uglies series

one of the first times i genuinely got really upset with a book (this was like 7th grade) was when zane died

it was just so unfair and tragic???

i literally threw the book across the room and my mom had to come check on me

tally staying a special???

also in pretties when she tells david to get his ugly face out of there. i don’t even like david that much but it was such a powerful scene

the maze runner

when teresa dies???? “i only ever cared for...”

i will maintain until my grave that she wanted to say “you” to thomas, you can’t talk me out of it, bye

lol i was so mad when within like 5 pages thomas just yeeted off to paradise and was like “hey brenda”

i’m still mad

tbh they’re one of the most tragic ya couples, just because...the different sides...the dying...the friendship...the betrayal

the raven cycle

basically when gansey died (the second time), i was a MESS

also when adam was wigging out and no one wanted to hurt him

harry potter

just because i can’t go through a list like this without mentioning harry potter

i was basically in tears the whole 7th book

the underland chronicles

i read these when i was super young, but i still remember crying when gregor and luxa were parted forever??

and ripred and gregor??

and when the cockaroaches DIED for boots????

i also sobbed reading the end in the asoue books

especially when kit died

also with all of the mentions of beatrice

ALSO SPEAKING OF TIMES WHEN MAIN CHARACTERS WERE FOREVER PARTED -- WHEN LYRA AND WILL HAD TO FOREVER SEPARATE AND ONLY HAVE THE GARDEN AS THEIR CONNECTION!!!!! I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M GOING TO DO WHEN IT GETS TO THAT POINT IN THE TV SERIES!!! ALSO, I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT LYRA IS UP TO IN THE UPCOMING BOOKS

ngl, i cried a little when the darkling died in the grisha trilogy

okay, now i’m in my feels even more, so i’m just going to rant about some moments that bring out the FEELS even if they didn’t make me cry

the folk of the air series

the jurdan kiss in the first book is one of the most iconic first kisses ever

also i know jurdan is very very unhealthy, but my irrational shipper brain seems not to care

basically the last 30 pages of the wicked king just had me in my feels

I WAS SO FUCKING MAD AT CARDAN THOUGH (jude better almost murder him in queen of nothing)

okay but also, the last scene in the cruel prince is just ???? so powerful???? and alluring??? i can’t explain it

the crown’s game

i just finished this book a few days ago and i HAVE ALL THE FEELS ABOUT NIKOLAI AND VIKA

the ending scene where “i love you” and then he tries to sacrifice himself???

i was very disappointed in the crown’s fate though, not gonna lie

anyway, i just needed to get these feels all out haha

Hi! You talk quite a bit about adaptations, could you give your thoughts on some adaptations of other classic novels, ones you particularly like or hate?

Well, let me think. I’ll give you the rundown on literary adaptations I like or love, as it’s getting late in the evening here and a bout of solid rage isn’t going to send me off to sleep so much as bring on a bout of indigestion. Also I went to review my DVD collection and for obvious reasons I don’t own many DVDs of things that I loathed. (I do recall nearly bursting into tears after a matinee viewing of I Capture the Castle because I felt the movie ended on such a bittersweet note that I was not prepared to walk out of a darkened cinema into a sunny day with birds singing while I was still Feeling a Lot of Unhappy Things, and so I felt like I hated that movie for a long time because of the sheer mood whiplash of it all. Also I wish I’d read the book first. The book is lovely, and I think I’d’ve stomached the film better, had I gone through the book first.)

Oh! I just remembered The Wings of the Dove (1997). I should have loved it, it had a lot going for it, buuuut fuck that movie and everyone involved in it, it just fell flat, for me. I don’t even care how critically-acclaimed it was, all the characters are The Worst and I never have a moment’s sympathy enough to care what happens to any of them. I hate even thinking about this movie and it is largely responsible for how much I despise Helena Bonham-Carter to this very day. Her and Jeremy Irons (who I admit I have many more personal issues with ‘cause he’s a silver-spoon gross-ass fuckshit.) A movie has got to be pretty damn brilliant on several other points for me to get past the knee-jerk rage I feel whenever either of them appear on-screen.

Also The Portrait of a Lady was terrible and riddled with pointless alterations and please just read The Making of a Marchioness, instead. Maybe I should add Linus Roache to my shitlist as he’s in this one, as well as The Wings of the Dove.

And now for adaptations I liked:

Wives and Daughters (1999) is quite good, in my view, and the ending they added to Gaskell’s unfinished work is quite satisfying, I think. (I don’t know about realistic, but it was sweet and simple and I dug it.)

Orlando (1992) Beautifully done. (Billy Zane! I love him in everything and I literally don’t even know why.)

Little Women (1994) is a classic, but I’m also very excited to see what Heidi Thomas and Vanessa Caswill do with the new miniseries from the BBC and PBS next year.

Daniel Deronda (2002) It’s prettyyyyyy. And so is Jodhi Maaaay.

Washington Square (1997) has a beautiful soundtrack, solid direction, and a stellar cast.

Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003) had some great cinematography and a good cast.

Dangerous Liasons (1988) I have such mixed feelings about Malkovich in this one but Glenn Close, holy shit she’s good.

Bridget Jones’s Diary (2001) A TRUE CLASSIC LITERARY ADAPTATION I WILL FIGHT EVERYONE. THEN PAY FOR THE RUINED GREEK RESTAURANT.The Remains of the Day (1993) A somewhat underrated classic that I think perhaps unfairly sits in the shadow of Howard’s End a lot of the time, what with the comparisons of the Thompson-Hopkins casting in a Merchant-Ivory film. (I do like Howard’s End, but, again, Helena Bonham-Carter, and I just connect a lot more with The Remains of the Day, as a story.)

Wide Sargasso Sea (2006) I don’t recall unabashedly loving this one, but I own it, so I feel like I must’ve liked it well enough. Then again, I also just found a copy of Sweeney Todd still in its plastic-wrap that I don’t know how I came by, I don’t even like the concept enough to want to watch it in the first place. Also, Helena Bonham-Carter is in it. And Johnny Depp. Why the fuck do I even own Sweeney Todd? Anyway, Wide Sargasso Sea is alright, though I feel like I preferred Karina Lombard’s Antoinette to Rebecca Hall’s.

The Scarlet Pimpernel (1982) I’m pretty sure this is where Jane Seymour and Anthony Andrews made me bi and SIR IAN MCKELLEN HOW DO YOU DO?

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006) HOW DO YOU FILM SMELLS? LIKE THIS. MY GOD. (Also please read the book.)

Dracula (1992) I mean, the cast swings between pretty good and absolutely wooden, but from a literary standpoint this is one of the more faithful adaptations of Stoker’s novel out there–though this movie is by no means The Best Anyone Could Do. There’s a lot wrong with it. But then Coppola didn’t need to include the blue fire thing, but he did, and I appreciate that.

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1994) is worth it for Robert de Niro, alone; and maybe a handful of really, really good shots. Otherwise there’s too much Helena Bonham-Carter and also Ken Branagh just recently hauled himself onto my shitlist but GOOD NEWS the character of Victor Frankenstein was always an annoying fucko and that’s canon, so feel free to hate him throughout, anyhow.

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1996) Does not get enough love. A good antidote to Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights for anyone who sat there thinking Rochester and Heathcliff were BIG PILES OF RED FLAGS. Wildfell is a cautionary tale, but actually ends reasonably happily (and more believably happily, IMO, than Jane Eyre.)

The Secret Garden (1993) Pure nostalgia for this one, excellent casting, and the same director as Washington Square.

Ivanhoe (1982) Sam Neill has no business making a villain that compelling. (I know, I know, Bois-Gilbert’s characterization is softened a lot in this adaptation.) And this time I’m bi for Neill and Olivia Hussey. Sorry, Anthony Andrews, you drop to second-slot in this love-fest. Also Rowena ruins everything but that’s canon, so what can you do?

Maurice (1987) Who doesn’t love a fluffy gay gamekeeper?

Cousin Bette (1998) Changes stuff from the book, and on the whole the story can be a bit rocky, especially in the second half or so, but it’s worth seeing for Jessica Lange, alone, I think, as well as some broadly comic notes from side-characters in Hugh Laurie and Bob Hoskins.

Possession (2002) Ignore Gwyneth Paltrow as best you can and otherwise enjoy the literary mystery unfolding in between some amazing flashbacks. Most of the good actors are crammed into the flashback bits, but at least there’s some snarky Tom Hollander and dastardly-but-personally-I-think-he’s-in-love-with-Roland Toby Stephens in the modern-day sections to give us some fun.

Twelfth Night (1996) Again, ignoring Helena Bonham-Carter, this one’s got a lot going for it. Trevor Nunn directing, Toby Stephens managing to be damn fine and somehow I don’t entirely mind that Orsino’s kind of a douchebag, Imogen Stubbs being cute as fuck, and stellar supporting actors.

The Inheritance (1997) Look, this is a little-known Louisa May Alcott thing, and I’ll be honest, it’s not Groundbreaking Television. As far as direction and score and acting and script goes, there is no danger of anyone ever losing sight of the fact that it’s a made-for-TV-movie from 1997 and Meredith Baxter was probably the biggest name they could get for it at the time. Anyway, there’s a reason I own it, and that reason is that watching it is the equivalent of a big mug of hot chocolate after a terrible day. It is pretty and sweet and funny and the villains and heroes are clearly marked from the moment they appear on-screen, and is it perhaps a bit too sweet? Yes. Embrace the sugar-shock.Titus (1999) Goes on a little long, perhaps, but you can’t look away. Anthony Hopkins and Jessica Lange go toe to toe and it’s a thing of horrific beauty. Shhh don’t question the batshit bloodbath, just let Julie Taymor do her thing.

Enchanted April (1991) Run away to Italy with your girlfriends. Just do it.

The Princess Diaries (2001) A modern masterpiece. GET OFF THE GRASS.

Bleak House (2005) Oh my God, this cast??? Is so magnificent?

Persepolis (2007) One of those films that are so good you need to lie down afterwards. Again, please also read the graphic novels.

Any Agatha Christie adaptation, ever–I am HERE FOR IT.

I know I’m forgetting one I thought of earlier, but oh well.

NGEN Survery

1) What is your biggest fear? Shane: That someday I’ll be unable to go adventuring and be stuck in a nursing home or confined to bed rest. Zane: That I’ll end up being a burden somehow to my mum. She’s had so much to deal with and so I’m worried that maybe someday I’ll get into an accident and she’ll need to be a caregiver to me. Matthew: That somehow, someday I’ll force a girl into a situation that she’s not comfortable with by accident and she won’t tell me but that she’ll feel the same way I felt. I don’t ever want to be that person. Christopher: Dying young. I’ve got so much so much yet to do and not being able to do it is terrifying. Kelsey: That Isabella will die way before me. I don’t want to die second cause I don’t want her to do have go through that sort of hurt without me able to comfort her, but I don’t want to live more than a few weeks without her either. Natalie: Failure. The thought of being someone that my parents can be proud of, or that people use as a cautionary tale is horrifying. Karen: Becoming ugly. I know that sounds terrible, but I couldn’t imagine being like deformed or something and I don’t know how I’d survive if I was. Tamara: Not being remembered by anyone. I’m pretty scared of just like dying having no one around to care about me being gone.

2) Do you have any special objects from your childhood? Shane: I’ve got a whole twin brother from my childhood. Crazy, right? Zane: Not really. I kind of left the one special thing I had in England. It was a program from a play I’d gone to with my dad, but I didn’t want to be reminded of him. Matthew: I got a toy car that could be worked on when I was around ten for my birthday and it was really when I started looking into being a mechanic, even if it wasn’t serious. I keep it still though, since it was my start in the industry. Christopher: I have a signed jersey that I got from a football game I went to with my dad for my 8th birthday and he arranged for me to be able to meet a few of the players. Or maybe my Mom did, either way, it was really great. Kelsey: I’ve got a friendship bracelet that Isabella made me. It’s too small to wear now, but I still keep it in my jewelry box. Natalie: I have the first book I ever learned to read all the way through. It’s also what I made my first film on too, so it’s kind of important for me. Karen: I have a stuffed doll that stays on my bed at home, when I was really little I brought her everywhere and used to make her sit at the table and stuff with me. Tamara: I have this little pinky sparkly microphone that my older brother gave me when I said I wanted to be a singer at like age 4. I keep it on a shelf to remind me of my dreams.

3) What is your idea of perfect happiness? Shane: Out adventuring with Thomas and Kylee, making videos of our antics and getting paid to do it. Thomas admits me stole Emily from me, we get matching tattoos and bond over it. Kylee wears my shirts and looks cute, we have a happy an active sex life. I have all the money to travel whenever I want. Zane: Perfect happiness is a flawed concept that is unrealistic. There will always be something wrong in some capacity. I suppose perfect happiness is then just ignoring those things and focusing on the good things happening. In my case, I’d like to have a steady job where I save people’s lives and have a home life that makes my job’s difficulties much more bearable. Matthew: I live close to my family, I have my own garage and a loving relationship. I mean, probably, ideally with Mia, if things continue as they are. Christopher: Being able to take photos for a living. really, that’s all I’d need. Kelsey: Shopping out and about with Isabella, knowing I’ll be able to see my boyfriend later and having the money to buy what I want. Natalie: Making a film and having everything come together perfectly in the exact way I imagined it. It lets me know that my vision was a great one and that it translates how I was wanting it to. Karen: Dancing for an audience and having them enjoy it. That feeling of being lost in art and bringing everyone with you, it’s perfect. Tamara: Spending time with my friends at the mall or the beach and not having any responsibilities.

4) Give an unpopular opinion that you believe. Shane: There’s a thing as being too much in shape. Zane: There isn’t any such thing as soulmates. Matthew: Siblings make the best friends. Christopher: It’s better to be an only child than to have siblings. Kelsey: Star Wars is completely overrated. Natalie: Video games are a waste of time. Karen: Small boobs are way hotter than bigger boobs. Tamara: Redheaded girls aren’t that attractive.

5) On what occasions do you lie? Shane: To get out of trouble. Zane: I try not to lie that much, but I do lie to patients from time to time as part of the job. If they ask for test results or if there has been a diagnosis and the doctor hasn’t discussed it, I actually can’t tell them. Matthew: Sometimes to make people feel better. Sometimes when I don’t feel like talking about something. Christopher: I lie to keep my ass out of a situation I don’t want to be in. Kelsey: To my parents, mostly when I know they won’t approve of what I’m doing. Natalie: I mean everyone lies to keep things from being too awkward. So, that’s where I try to contain my lies Karen: I lie to my parents when I know they won’t like my choice in activities. Well, mostly my mom because my dad is pretty cool about most things I do. Tamara: Sometimes I lie about my feelings to people. I don’t like looking weak, so if I’m going to I try and avoid it at any costs.

6) If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? Shane: I'm not going to change anything, I’m awesome. Zane: I'd like to have a better memory, it’d make things easier for both school and just on the job in general. I do have charts that I can look at, but sometimes I waste time having to look up a medication that I’ve seen before but just can’t remember. Matthew: Being a bit taller would be nice. It doesn’t even have to be a lot taller, but a couple of extra inches wouldn’t hurt. Christopher: I'd like to be able to grow facial hair a bit better. Maybe time will fix that one. Kelsey: Uh, there’s like nothing because Isabella is perfect and that means I am too. Oh, like not physically? Nah, still not going to change anything. I like who I am. Natalie: I’d like to have a bit more curves. I’ve got an okay amount right now, but it all depends on angling and what I’m wearing. I’d like to have enough that it wouldn’t so drastically depend on those factors. Karen: If I was taller then I’d have a better shot at being a dancer. Well and if I had less boobs. Basically. I just need my mother’s figure. Tamara: I’d have bigger boobs. Not like huge, but just a nice C cup to fill out everything I wear better.

7) What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you? Shane: I’m not easily embarrassed, but I guess the most embarrassing thing is that I once got drunk and started having a conversation with my reflection, thinking it was Thomas. A friend took a video and sent it to me and everyone else later. Zane: I spilled my lunch all over myself my first day at school in the United States. There was a weird step up and I started to trip, but I managed to right myself. In doing so though, I tipped my tray toward me and my whole lunch went on me. Part of it was soup and it just looked like a pissed myself. Of course my mum was too busy working to come bring me a change of clothes, so I had to go around in those clothes all day. Matthew: Like most teenage guys, at one point I’d gotten an erection randomly but it was during gym and there was really no hiding it. Of course someone had to go and point it out to everyone. Christopher: I cried on my first day of kindergarten so hard that they had to call my dad to come and get me. For the rest of the year, I was known as the class crybaby and some unoriginal kids even continued that trend all the way through third grade. Kelsey: I was in the third grade and I really had to go to the bathroom, but the line was too long and I did not make it. All the other kids saw and called me Kelsey Tinklepants for months. Natalie: When I was around 13, I went to tell a guy that I liked him and he asked if I was joking. When I said he wasn’t, he laughed and called all his friends over to tell them what happened. Karen: I tripped down the stairs and fell with my skirt up in front of a bunch of people. And I was like probably 10 at the time, so my underwear were a ten year old’s and they had princesses but apparently that was uncool, so I got double teased. Tamara: Once I got sick on my teacher in front of the whole class. I was probably around eight and I just wasn’t feeling good, so I went up to tell my teacher that I had to go to the bathroom during silent reading and halfway through my explanation I just puked all over her. She was not pleased and I cried.

8) Who is the most important person in your life, and why?

Shane: Thomas. I don’t think it really needs an explanation. Zane: I guess at this point it’s my mum still. We’ve gotten so close after everything that we’ve been through together and I’d do anything for her. Maybe with more time that’ll change though. Matthew: I don’t know if there is a single most important person. I think right now it’s a tie between Noah and Mia. Though Mia is pulling ahead slightly in that race but if it ever came down to both of them needing me at the same time for something, I’d have a really hard time choosing. Christopher: I can’t try and pretend it isn’t to the point where it’s Eloise. I picked my school because of her. Juan is hanging in a close second though. Kelsey: There has never been a more obvious answer to a question in the history of the universe. Natalie: Lydia. I know I can go to her with anything and I have come to depend on that, on her being around. Karen: Me. I’m a person and I’m the most important one. I don’t do things for other people, I do them for myself. Tamara: Camilla. I’d be lost without her, I wouldn’t even really know how to function even.

9) If you could choose, how would you want to die?

Shane: I’d want to be doing something awesome. I don’t want to be wasting away of disease or whatever, I want to be living life. Zane: With dignity. People say that a lot, but it’s something I understand a lot better after being in the hospital. I want to die with my mental facilities about me, making my own choices until the end without everyone telling me how tragic my death is. Matthew: I guess I’d just want a death that isn’t too painful. Partly because I’m not big on pain and partly because I don’t want my family to have to watch me suffer. I’d want a death everyone can be at peace with. Christopher: Just give me something quick. I don’t want drawn out nonsense where everyone has to gather around for days just waiting for the moment. Get to the point, death. Kelsey: Everyone always says in their sleep, right? But like, then I’d be in my bedclothes and people would find me like that? I want to be looking damn good, so people will be like, oh no, double tragedy. She’s dead and she looked fabulous right before she died and no one got to enjoy it properly. Natalie: I’d like to die while I still understand the world around me. I never want to get to a point where I’m not sure of who I am or where I am. If I don’t have my mental faculties about me, I don’t want to keep going. Karen: I want to still be attractive looking. You know those old people where you’re like, wow she’s really put together? Yeah, if I get to the point where I can’t be put together it’d be horrible. So, I want to die while I’m still able to be put together. Tamara: Definitely in my sleep. I don’t want to be aware and in pain. Just take me while I’m dreaming about something and make sure I’m not suffering.

10) What was the wildest thing you've ever done, sexually?

Shane: So this girl I was with was like, you’re great with a camera right and I was like, yeah that’s what I do. So she was all, let’s make our own pron movie and I was like, okay yeah let’s do it. But she brought some props and costumes. She was very prepared for this.. Like, it ended up being hot to make, but not hot to watch back. Definitely not hot to watch back, it was really strange to watch back. Zane: I haven't been that wild of a sex partner. I guess once we left the curtains open and there was an apartment building not too far away with a window at the same level so they could have seen. Matthew: Once Mia and I had sex in my truck when it was in a parking lot at night. That was kinda wild. Christopher: I had a girlfriend who liked to have people watch, so like once we just invited someone in to watch us have sex. That was pretty wild, and a little awkward when I’d sometimes forgot we were being watched and then suddenly remember. Kelsey: I had sex in a classroom last year really close to when classes were about to start, so that was a rush. We definitely could have gotten caught. Natalie: I’m a virgin and I’m pretty tame when it comes to masturbation. Karen: I'd say that a threesome is definitely the wildest thing. Tamara: Nothing. I'm still a virgin.

11) When was the last time you cried?

Shane: I got drunk and saw this really cute video of a cat that was best friends with a tiger and I couldn’t help it. Zane: I made a mistake in the clinical setting and it left a patient in a lot of pain. It was fixable but it would take an hour and she was in extreme pain the whole time. Matthew: I hit my head on the bottom of a car the other day while working on it and it hurt like hell. Christopher: I don’t actually remember the last time I cried. Kelsey: I was watching a really sad movie and it just hit me really hard. Natalie: The last time I got sick, I was just feeling really terrible and I cried. Karen: I was having a really rough week at school and then I messed up some dance steps and got told off by my teacher. It was too much, I couldn’t help but cry. Tamara: I shed a few tears when I heard Victoria was going to go to prom with someone else.

12) Do you have any vices?

Shane: I can’t resist a joke, even if it isn’t the best of timing. Zane: None that I can think of. Maybe I can be a bit insensitive. Matthew: I don’t think so. I try not to have moral weaknesses. Christopher: I smoke from time to time. Kelsey: I am a gossip. Can’t help it, gossip is great. Natalie: I can’t think of any. Maybe I’m a bit prideful at times. Karen: I'm a vain person. So, yeah, my vice is vanity. Tamara: I might be a tad vain and prideful.
