DATING ADA WONG HEADCANNONS — SFW

PAIRING: Ada Wong x GN!Reader

A/N: I’ve probably done a terrible job of characterising Ada, but she’s just so hot and cool (and there’s like no material on her) that I had to do something for her. Let me know if you’re interested in me doing more for her!

Being in a relationship with Ada Wong is by no means an easy feat. This woman is an enigma, and a relationship with her is no different.

The most you could get out of her is potentially an on-and-off type of deal. But if you’re willing to put in the work, then you’ll just have to cope with occasional long distance.

Her love language is along the lines of acts of service. Maybe not in the traditional sense of 'doing the laundry for you', but as we see in her interactions with Leon, she swoops in to save and assist him very often. It's her own kind of affection—it's how we know she cares. So naturally, that would carry across to you.

She has the ability to make you feel like the only person in the world. This is because when Ada does something for you, it’s not out of the kindness of her heart. This woman is a a spy who has and will work for very bad people. So anything that she says, gives or does, is because she wants to—because she cares.

At first, her intense eyes and sultry voice were an intimidating factor about her. But they eventually became some of her most comforting traits.

Ada doesn't use many pet names for you because a good majority of them make her cringe.

However, in an ironic way, she'll address you as 'Sweetheart', 'Kitten', or 'Lover'. In spite of her saying these names out of wry, her voice makes them sound cute. (Referring to VA’s; Sally Cahill, Jolene Anderson, Courtenay Taylor)

If you’re normal—as in you’re not a spy or an agent of any sort—then it’ll essentially be a "living a double life" scenario.

Ada was upfront with you from the beginning about how “busy” her schedule would be. She simply told you that she moves around for work, that the company she works for has strict confidentiality rules, and that thats all you need to know.

While it stings you to know that there's a whole portion of her life that you're absent from, you couldn’t fault her for something she was upfront about.

Getting Ada to open up to you will take time, that’s just a no brainer. As a spy, it goes against her very instincts. So when you first started seeing her, lots of what she told you about herself was fabrication woven with hints of truth.

Ada is the type of person who makes you feel as if she’s opening up to you, when in reality, questions about her background are met with vague responses.

Yet she speaks so charismatically that it makes you believe that she’s sharing more then what she really is.

She’s blunt and outspoken, so if you’re acting jealous then she’ll call you out on it immediately.

While on the jealousy topic, Ada doesn’t really get hit with these feelings. She’s confident in herself and your relationship, which clears up any potential insecurity that could give way to try one feelings. She trusts you enough to believe you wouldn’t do anything like that.

That’s not to say that she’s immune to jealousy, because there are definitely times where she can’t help but feel it swell in her gut.

And if you’re wanting to spice things up in your NSFW life with the presence of others, then she’s happy to discuss it. (Let me know if you want headcannons dedicated to NSFW)

She’s not someone who runs from arguments or conflict, she faces it head on. If there’s any tension in your relationship, you best believe she’ll address it.

If you’re being cold and distant, she’ll force you to sit down and talk to her about what’s bothering you. And when I say force, I mean by any means necessary.

Ada is very protective over you. So if she finds out that somebody’s hurt you? Then she will find out who it was, and she will eliminate them—as well as whoever else she needs to—in order to bring her own brand of justice. Zero fucks given.

If your relationship stands the test of time, there will be a point where she realises that may end up being a permanent fixture in her relatively unstable life.

This will potentially lead to Ada coming clean about who she really is and opening up to you. A very big step for her. One that only comes if you’re in a serious enough relationship.

Dark themes, cult stuff

The next morning when you woke up you found Loki in the kitchen with Jolene, making breakfast. You hated the fact that he didn't wake you up but it was just your jealousy making you feel that way. You kept thinking about what she had said last night about Loki begging her to take him back, it didn't seem like something he would have done but then you didn't know what was going on with him at the time, he was lonely, that you knew for sure, you probably needed to hear his side of the story, you also felt extremely insecure that he loved her so much that he begged her to stay with him.

Your thoughts disappeared momentarily and face flushed as you looked at him, the imagery from last night was still afresh in your head.

"Good morning" you placed your head on his bicep and looked at him, he had a smile on his face but you could tell he was trying to keep his actions under control in front of her, maybe he didn't want her judgment, whatever the reason you didn't really care as long as he was yours to love and care for.

"Morning sweetheart, can you make tea for us?" He asked you softly so you nodded

"Can't wait to kiss you" you whispered in his ears, making the corner of his mouth curve into a smile. Jolene watched the whole interaction fuming with jealousy, ofcourse she heard your moans and his as well, she couldn't believe that he was fucking you, he always talked about you as if you were just a kid he had saved once and she always assumed that he was burdened by that responsibility. She saw you both eye fucking each other and her jaw clenched, a young girl like you, ofcourse he was enticed easily, you must have seduced him and trapped him but then he also was a fucked up man who had done evil things so she wasn't really surprised by his perversion.

She wanted to move on, she tried her best but as bad as he was in other aspects of his life she couldn't help but feel so attracted towards him still, the way he treated her made her fall in love, he took care of her in every way and she knew she'd never find someone as considerate as him, she was young and immature in her quick decision to divorce him, she got influenced by her family and friends but she was regretting it now.

"We don't have much time, that editorial photoshoot is today at 4" he said to you so you hummed in response, the people from the Netflix series you have been shooting for suggested your name for this popular clothing brand so Loki had a meeting with them two days ago. The money was good and you were absolutely covered from head to toe much to his delight so you both agreed, you knew there won't be bikini or lingerie shoots any longer now that you belonged to him. You got your way with him before through threats and manipulation but you didn't want to do anything of that sort now, you didn't want him to get upset or hurt.

Jolene stepped down from the counter and walked into his room and you couldn't have been more thankful.

As soon as her door shut close he grabbed your arm to turn you towards him and leaned down to kiss you in a way that screamed "yesss this is what I have been craving my darling"

You should have kissed him back with equal intensity but for some reason she kept bothering you.

"Do you miss her?" He stopped kissing you and looked at you, he stared at you intently before he picked you up by the waist and put you up on the counter.

"Why would you ask me that after the night we had?" He kissed you again after finishing his sentence, then his mouth latched onto your neck.

"Answer me"

"I don't…no"

"Mmmm okay"

"Why would you ask me that?" He asked you so you shrugged. Why did you ask him that really?

"Why didn't you wake me up?"

"Don't steer the conversation" he glared at you but you shrugged.

"I'm not" you pulled him closer by hooking your legs around his waist but he wasn't letting it go that easily.

"Tell me y/n" Oh!! boy it was serious now.

"I just.. she was your wife Loki..it just makes me think of things"

"What do you mean?"

"You loved her right?"

His eyes teared up as you questioned him, you didn't want to make him sad first thing in the morning. You really didn't want to hurt him today like you have always done.

"What is love really?" He chuckled as he grabbed your thighs and tried to get away from you. You hated this. Why did you have to do this?

"A feeling that made you want to beg her so she'd come back in your life" his jaw clenched as you said that. He abhorred feeling weak like but moreso he hated to be reminded of that.

"I seee…girls are talking to each other about me huh?"

He walked towards the stovetop to finish what he was doing, the only question that remained in your head was Why. Why did you have to ruin his day like this? You could have talked to him about this at some other time and with a different approach probably.

You heard the bedroom door opening and your eyes teared up, she was back. You didn't want to leave the conversation like this but you had no other option.

He wasn't even looking at you anymore and it hurt to say the least, after breakfast you went to your room to get ready. The whole day he avoided you and it killed you, you couldn't even focus on the damned photoshoot and it was all your fault, if things weren't sour he would have been there watching you and fucking you with his eyes. During the shoot you saw him grabbing Jolene by the hand and taking her away and that only made you more insecure. You knew he wouldn't hurt you like that but you still felt scared. You didn't want her to take him away from you.

"I'd appreciate it if you'd stop filling her head" He said to Jolene, he was pretty pissed off about this whole situation, he wanted to leave the past with her behind rightly where it belonged but ever since she had reentered his life for some reason she just wanted to keep bringing it up and hurt him.

"Fill her head? What did she tell you? I just told her the truth..you loved me, was i wrong?" She huffed as she finished her sentence.

"Noooo but you don't know the whole truth or what happened after that, now she thinks that since I begged you to not leave me I still must be insanely in love with you" he snapped at her making her flinch.

"I know you're not in love with me anymore Loki " Her lips trembled as she spoke "But are you in love with her? Because I really don't think so" his jaw clenched as she said that.

"You have no fucking clue what she means to me so all I want is for you to stay the fuckkkk out of our lives you hear me?"

He walked away and didn't even look back to check if she was crying, he was done feeling bad about the situation, she had no right to come back and judge him all over again for his life choices.

Unfortunately he still had to take her back home with you, He called Steve again but he didn't pick up so he sent several threatening texts. Probably not the wisest move to threat a detective but he was really furious at the moment. After dinner you went to your room and waited for him to talk to you because his indifference was killing you. As soon as he came you clutched on to him so he won't leave again.

"Just talk to me Loki please I'm sorry" you cupped his cheeks and got on your tiptoes to reach his level "I'm sorry I'm sorry .. I don't want to hurt you i swear I don't"

He grabbed you by the shoulders and pulled you closer to him, his thumbs wiped your tears then he kissed your forehead.

"I was all alone" your eyes flickered with different emotions you felt as he said that "She was all I had, so when she left I lost my mind, I had no one by my side, no-one to love or take care of, everytime I felt weak I ran to her, even after our divorce she was there whenever the need to fuck each other arised. On the night of her birthday I called her, she asked me to go see her so we fucked again and she promised me that we can think about us again, she gave me hope again. At the party I don't know what happened or what her friends told her but she wanted me to leave immediately, told me they didn't feel comfortable having me around them" you sniffled as he told you what actually happened that night, he was hurt and lonely, he needed someone to hold his hand but she only ruined him further.

"And I lost it completely, something snapped, I broke down, had a faint moment of weakness" he chuckled even though his eyes were brimmed with tears "I begged her to let me stay with her, i didn't want to be alone that night but she denied" you nodded as he said that, you grabbed the collar of his shirt to pull him closer so you could hug him and comfort him, he needed that even though you knew he'd never ask for it.

"That's half of the story, here's the complete truth that you wanted to hear" You looked at him perplexed and nodded again so he could continue "I picked myself up, went home, sat down in my bathtub, texted Steve to promise that you'd be taken care of no matter what and slit my wrist with a razor to end it all" you gasped as he said that, it shocked you to the core that he took that step, and how nonchalant he was about it terrified you but he had been broken beyond repair so it didn't really surprise you.

"I waited for it to end and then my phone buzzed. Steve reminded me that you would be out there in this cruel fuckinnggg world on your own soon and that's what brought me out of that darkness, that's what saved me my darling, you saved me that night" your crying ceased but the tears kept coming, the initials on his scarred wrist, they were yours.

"Lokii–" you whispered his name but he pressed his thumb on your lips.

"So whenever the doubt clouds your judgement or insecurities begin to ruin you, just remember that I'm still here because of you, for you and nothing else matters, only you do, forever and ever, for life" he kissed you as passionately as he could and then he pulled away from you

"Lokii please.."

"I just need some space, I'm not upset I promise yeah?" He whispered softly so you nodded, you didn't want to overwhelm him, you knew it was hard for him to share all this with you. As he walked out you sat down on the bed and thought of what he had told you, he was so broken that he wanted to give up but he held on because of you, so that he could take care of you his whole life, if there was any chance that you weren't madly in love with him already you sure were now. You took a silent vow right then that you'd never ever allow him to feel that way again, that you'd never make him feel so lonely again in life. Never. It will be you and him for life or for death, as long as you had him and he had you, nothing else mattered.

In the middle of the night you felt him crawling into the bed, his arm encased around you and he pulled you closer to him, you immediately turned around to face him, the dim light from the bedside lamp made you able to look at his swollen face. He must have cried, you really wished he'd have allowed you to comfort him but you wanted to be patient with him, especially after what he had shared with you, you just wanted to be there for him.

"Are you okay?" You whispered softly as his fingers ran circles on your back.

"Mhhhm" you leg wrapped around his waist in a spooning position and he sighed deeply. He probably would have died with that secret, he never wanted to tell you about it but now that he did he really hoped that you knew how much he needed you and wanted you in his life, he could never put his feelings in words but he really hoped you knew that he loved you immensely.

You got on top of him but he flipped you underneath him swiftly and then he kissed you, it started slow but heated up pretty quickly

"I love you Loki" you whispered between the kiss, you didn't need to hear it back, you just wanted him to know that he was loved and cherished by you and he was the most precious thing in your life.

"I know baby I know" he took his shirt off and for a moment you thought he'd fuck you like that, right here right now but then a part of you knew that he'd never take you so casually like this for your first time. He wrapped your legs around him and you moaned as his hardening clothed bulge rubbed against your core

"Have you ever done this before sweetheart?" He asked you, his voice was low and deep into your ears, he smelled so good that you just wanted to disappear somewhere with in his proximity

"Sex?" You asked him and he shook his head,

"Noooo...Thiss.. sweetheart" he humped slowly making you whimper in response, there it was- the sensation that made you want to lose all the inhibitions if you had any.

"Nooooo dadddy"

"Fuckk you're such a good girl" he couldn't believe that you kept yourself so untouched for him "What kind of things you have done in bed?" Your face flushed at the question as if he had never seen you naked before or that you didn't touch yourself for him last night.

"Ummm I kissed John and ummm he made me rub his cock from above the clothes, and I made out with Jaden plenty of times, and some of them wanted to fuck me but I didn't want to do that, and Ron ummm..he asked me if I'd suck his cock but I denied"

He got hard, so painfully hard at the thought, those men wanted to touch you, have you touch them and fuck them but you denied, for him, just so someday he'd take every little thing you had saved up for him

"Why didn't you do it sweetheart? Why didn't you suck his cock?" His pace increased as he questioned, his hips rolled in circles and then back n forth, stimulating your clit as his cock rubbed against them.

"For youu dadddyy.. always i just..ohhh God" you gasped as the sensation built slowly, your own hips moved mindlessly with his rhythm.

"Keep talking baby"

"I just wanted to do it with you, i have dreamt of you Loki, i have craved you and I have thirsted for you only" he smiled as you said that.

"You're so easy to please aren't you? So malleable for me, so very much desperate and I like that…alott"

"Dadddy"

"I know, baby.. I know…patience..I'll take care of you in every fucking way I promise, i promise my baby I promise I will, you're mine to do whatever I want to" your eyes teared up as he said that, you felt overwhelmed by the whirlpool of emotions. You were his, mind, body and soul. You have belonged to him ever since you laid your eyes on him.

A solid thrust and you were a goner, your body convulsed underneath him erratically as you came, you haven't had such an intense orgasm in a long time or ever really except last night maybe, it felt cathartic and it knocked you out for a moment, that's how you felt last night as well, every inch of your existence wanted to crumble and fall apart for him, a fleck of dust under his feet, that's all you ever wanted to be. He called out your name so you looked at him,

"There you go.. come back my sweet buttons" he murmured, he had a small smile on his face, you heard the pet name and it made your heart soar.

"Let me touch you please, i need you to cum.. please daddy" you whined and it made him snicker, he wanted to serve you the whole universe on a golden platter but he also wanted you to beg him for that. The sick twisted part of him wanted to keep you dangling at the edge of sweet release and he wanted you to suffer for him, hurt for him, cry for him. You were his to ruin afterall. He took his cock out of his trousers and placed your hand on his, you hid your face between the crook of his neck as you jerked him off slowly, up and down, he could tell you had never done this before and he loved that.

"Bite me darling, hurt me" he whispered in your ear so you bit it on his shoulder, gently, you didn't want to leave a lasting bruise, he needed to feel the pain so he could cum but you wanted to change that for him slowly. You gripped his hair with your free hand and pulled on them slightly, making him moan in response.

"You're so handsome, it makes me want to fuck you right now daddy" he snickered as you said that.

"I'll be the one to do the fucking sweet thing, you'll just take it like the whore you are" let go of his cock and pulled your panties down along with your shorts, your wet slick lips seemed inviting but he wanted to wait, he can't take you like this in the heat of the moment. You deserved better than that, you deserved the most tender lovemaking he could have offered you from his fucked up self

"Dont worry daddy, i just wanted you to have a view" He cursed under his breath as you rubbed the tip of his cock over your lips then you fisted him again, he tore apart your tank top and placed his face between the crook of your neck as the sensations began to build in the pit of his stomach.

"I love you so much.. you're the best fucking man I have ever known of"

His eyes moistened as you said that, he wanted to believe your words, he truly did but the monster that lived inside him told him otherwise. He didn't deserve such a precious girl.

"Baby… I'm close"

"I know, I could feel it, you're throbbing in my hand, so perfect. Need you to cum all over my soaked lips"

He moaned as you said that, a grunting sound escaped his throat as he came hard, the warm cum spilled all over your lips and it made you gasp. Before his mind could wander elsewhere and his need to get hurt could prevail, you scooped his cum on your middle finger and sucked it in, giving him something else to think about. He picked you up in his arms and you both showered together, you kept him engaged in a conversation but you could tell he was lost, he was thinking and you wanted to know everything but not today, he had shared enough tonight and you didn't want to push him too hard.

You giggled as he dropped you down on the bed, he dressed you up and put on pants so this time you'd be able to sleep with no interruptions but then his phone started to ring and he was about to turn it off but it was Steve so he picked it up immediately.

"Everything okay? I know you have been calling..but you know Peggy, she hid my phone somewhere..we were on a vacation" Steve sighed

"I know Jo told me" Loki sighed as well

"Jo? You mean Jolene?"

"Yeah about that..why the fuck would you —?" You sat up and hugged him from behind to calm his anger down, it worked because his voice softened instantly "Why did you tell her I was here?" he smiled as you kissed on his neck.

"What are you talking about Loki? I didn't tell her anything, she called me but I strictly told her that you didn't want to see her" Loki's eyes widened as Steve said that, if he wasn't the one to inform Jolene then how did she find out?

How Did she know he was here? Who told her?

COWBOY CARTER Beyoncé — 2024

★★★★☆

Beyoncé is back. And what a comeback! A new heavily country inspired album that took 10 years to create. With A-list guests and a brand new experience for us to live : the KNTRY radio station is now airing with 'Yoncé experimenting again with sounds and genres in a brand new way, this time with country.

Almost two years after the release of RENAISSANCE, she comes back stronger as ever on AMERIICAN REQUIEM, a track that merges what Beyoncé is at her best with a new take on country, harmonies and synths. A really strong start that sets the tone as well as the level for the rest of the album.

The record being driven with numerous interludes keeps the listener captivated throughout the 78 minutes album. Every track sounds like a new experience taking us to new horizons while still letting the project remain cohesive and sounding like a fresh take on country music.

This album feels like it's a great celebration of country music all while experimenting on new ways of blending it with modern music. It also is a (re)claim of country music and culture which history roots back heavily to black people. Everybody remembers how her song Daddy Lessons got received by Americans in 2016. COWBOY CARTER is her way of saying a big F*CK YOU in the face of anybody saying that she doesn't belong to the genre.

At first, this album might not be as ground breaking as act i — which was pushing the boundaries of pop music with modern takes on house music — but act ii is definitely doing it too in its own way.

The production is very pleasing, well written and touching lyrics over beautifully crafted harmonies on top of well thought melodies are what drives the project.

While trying to experiment, it sometimes feels like it's a bit too much, especially on tracks such as SWEET ★ HONEY ★ BUCKIN' that can feel like it's messy or OH LOUISIANA that just makes not much sense being just a poorly pitched up sample. The rest of the tracks is pretty solid though.

COWBOY CARTER is a strong record with its own personality and universe on which Beyoncé goes back to her personal roots. It is not her best album ever but if anything, it absolutely solidifies her status as a music legend.

i HATED the jolene cover. like i was shocked at how much i hated it

that's valid.... for me it's truly one of those things that's just so aggressively purely On Brand that it moves beyond questions of "good" or "bad," "like" or "dislike." it was Peak Beyonce to a degree i have trouble even forming an opinion about it

They are totally convinced that ‘Carousel’ a song from 2022 is about Blake. They call Blake her ‘Harlan’ – a character from the song. They are literally obsessed with that song.

They also call Gwen ‘Geraldene’ because of this song:

“I could see you coming all the way from Amarillo

Truck stop red lips pullin' on some nicotine

Shining like the spoke on a brand new El Dorado

You're trailer park pretty, but you're never gonna be Jolene”

You can see how ridiculous that is from these lyrics.

They connect every single one song she has put out since the divorce to Blake (and/or Gwen).

Seems like she is talking about herself when she tried to wrangle Evan and failed miserably. I think ML is Geraldine. She’s the secret smoker wearing truck stop red lipstick.

𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐄 𝐌𝐂𝐆𝐎𝐖𝐀𝐍 — ❝All you have is your fire and the place you need to reach.

── ＊︰ WILHELMINA MCGOWAN. chiron often praises their tenacious temperament, but mr. d's always going on about how they can be pretty spiteful. that comes as no surprise, knowing that they've been at camp now for nine years and they turned twenty-two this year. they're always humming fox on the run by sweet when they're on strawberry picking duty, and people around here can always tell they're a child of hephaestus because of their firebrand copper hair swinging as she imparts justice and the readiness of the oil-smudged smile with their swift forgiveness. during capture the flag, i saw them using geokinesis and pyrokinesis — it totally makes sense that their godly parent claimed them after crafting an elaborate trap which helped win capture the flag and knock some bullies of the younger hephaestus kids down a peg. the entire camp knows them to carry a small cross peen hammer that extends to become a celestial bronze war maul, and no matter who you ask, they'll tell you billie reminds them of a limning of soot around thick smithing goggles, scabbed up skinned knees, dappled sunlight through leaves, the smell of flashpowder and the burnt cardboard of firecrackers, the golden volcanic glow of fired metal, eyelashes tickling softly against your neck, forgiving but never forgetting- letting it be branded down onto your very bones. thank gods they're around now that the mist is parting.

❂ jolene mcgowan was a metalsmith, by trade, she created beautiful jewellery by smelting gold and silver, set with precious stones and shards of sea glass she collected near her home in the coastal town of cherryfield, maine. she crafted beautiful blooms with leaves which would never wilt, never die, blew glass, she mended timepieces, clocks and pocket watches with deft and reverent hands. these are the soft calloused palms that hephaestus fell hopelessly into; warm and welcoming and good-humoured.

❂ 1943 dawned, rough and unkind as she fought with her family to protect the identity of the father of her baby, born out of wedlock in a small town. the little boy would never make it over the brow of the hill in long island, halfway through massachusetts he falls.

❂ she didn't learn the lesson, though she was stripped of some of the light that drew the god to her in the first place, they reunited yet again and another child was to be born from the glint in their eyes.

❂ red hair and green eyes like her mother, billie is full of fight from the minute she stretches her mouth open and begins to scream, her mother joking that she always had something to say ever since.

❂ wilhelmina, a mouthful for such a small child and even harder to spell, shortened to mina and then through protest changed to will, then to billie.

❂ billie watched her mother hollow out before her very eyes, harden herself to the inevitability of her daughter's demise. if jolene drew back far enough, fast enough, she wouldn't be hurt when the gods didn't favour her offspring once again. wilhelmina yearned for attention, to feel that warmth fall over her once more but instead, she struck out, becoming a problem.

❂ this rejection seared her edges, though the fall from her mother's graces wasn't as far or as fast as her father's fall from olympus, she vowed to herself to always stand up for what she believed in, no matter the personal cost. cowards irk her, though of course, the greek doesn't fall far from the tree, she can be a hypocrite.

❂ billie was a constant flight risk, disappearing for days at a time on a whim but the concern their family felt ebbed, even when they started to see things, when inexplicable things began happening to them.

❂ it took a year and a half to make it to camp half blood, billie never running with crowds long enough for satyrs to catch hold of her. disappearing like smoke between their fingers. billie has some pretty extensive scarring over most of her body from her years on the run but spite is a powerful motivator, the fire she draws from within helped her survive and still does. (might have some collateral damage from this use of flame, she tries not to think about it.)

❂ strode into camp with their head held high, and attacked every part of training with unwavering tenacity no matter how many times they were knocked down. not the most naturally skilled fighter but she makes up for it in spades with ferocity, dogged relentlessness and sheer power. billie never knows when to stay down.

❂ is often caught intercepting tourists and mortals by yelling extremely creative obscenities and insults at them, it gets them to leave, at least she stopped draping her hair over her face and running at them screaming in tongues when chiron asked nicely.

❂ the chip on billie's shoulder is big, anyone who knows her can see it but she's filled in the cracks with liquid gold and moves with the hurt. her word is her bond and though trickery is almost a sure shot, she'll never let you forget that you're a liar and you'll be paying until your final breath. billie hates bullies.

❂ an excellent craftsman and smith, billie will usually help anyone with the forges if they ask, for several years refused to partake in her cabin and father's vocation out of pettiness but now loves the way it takes her out of her head to bear something new into the world.

❂ pinball champion, has never worn a matching pair of socks in her life, feeds the raccoons around camp, used to be a state champion gymnast, will fire-eat and fire dance for special occasions like her friends' birthdays, can remember all the lyrics to any song she hears and hoards music like gold, spends a ridiculous amount of time and money on taking polaroids and buying film, will burn your monopoly board, drums on every nearby surface at all times, accidentally burns things to a crisp when she sneezes, can and will nap absolutely anywhere it's kind of ridiculous.

WANTED CONNECTIONS — *

i'm gonna come back to this because my brain is soup.
