RE-INTRODUCING: CELESTE MORRIS

Full Name: Celeste Margaret Morris

Birthdate: October 9th, 1993

Hair Color: Light Brown

Eye Color: Brown

Species: Human

Family: Miriam Morris, née Lawson (Mother), Steven Morris (Father, deceased), Margaret Lawson (Maternal Grandmother, deceased)

Love Interest: Rachel Berry

Friends: Mike Chang, Artie Abrams, Tina Cohen-Chang, Mercedes Jones, Kurt Hummel, Brittany S. Pierce, Sam Evans, Unique Adams

Likes: Astronomy, acting, everything soft, snack cakes, the color blue, her mother and grandmother, 90s movies, nail polish, energy drinks, vibrant colors

Dislikes: Bullies, action movies, gossip, pretty much any music after 2010, the ocean, heat

Phobias: Spiders

Style: Kinda school girl chic but she mixes it up as well, skirts and blouses with stockings and dress shoes, but will also just dress like an 80s final girl some days, knows how to dress up for fancy functions, always wears rings and necklaces, has a special necklace with her birth stone

Speech: American accent, kind of sultry voice, very sweet speech, 50/50 on cursing

Physical Quirks/Scars: Has a scar on her left shoulder which she acquired when she fell off the roof while stargazing

Personality: Sweet, demure, socially akward, shy, protective, loyal, easily falls in love, bit of a pushover, harmony-seeking

Background: Celeste was born and raised in Lima, Ohio, under the watchful eye of her parents. At seven years old, she loses her father to an accident, which throws her mother into a spiral so bad her grandmother moves into town to look after both of them. Margaret Lawson doted on her granddaughter, teaching her what it is like to be a proper lady and always having her tag along at events. Celeste grows to tolerate it, but she has never liked being the center of attention, often opting to stick to the refreshment table at parties instead of socializing. Celeste has always had her head in the stars, just not in a daydreaming way (mostly, anyways). Then comes the summer before Sophomore year of high school, when her grandmother takes her mom and herself to a fancy resort where she, unfortunately at first, runs into one Rachel Berry. Though quickly, Rachel becomes her only solace in a resort filled mostly with people over the age of thirty. On their last night there, things get hot and heavy, but both of them decide to leave it at that and focus on their respective high school career paths. Celeste immerses herself into the astronomers club once more while also taking on little roles in plays put on by the local youth center and funded by her grandmother. It is there that she ends up being thrust into the role of Frenchy in Grease and falls in love with being on stage. Then Margaret dies. Miriam is sent into another tailspin, which throws Celeste’s entire life off track. There is nothing she can do to help, and school isn’t getting any better with Rachel breathing down her neck about joining the New Directions to buff their numbers. Celeste can’t join them, not when she still has a raging crush on Rachel, who would rather pine after the quarterback who accidentally impregnated his head cheerleader girlfriend. Oh, but it wasn’t actually him, but rather his best friend, which she now knows as well. Now more than anything, Celeste Morris wishes she could fly to the moon and never come back to Earth.

In Defence of Shelby Corcoran

I was honestly surprised the first time I dipped into fandom and saw just how much dislike seems levelled at Shelby. Like, seriously, looking at her tag is immediately all hate - and sure, there’s stuff you can criticise, but honestly it would be harder to find a Glee character that shouldn’t be in prison if they were real.

So let’s just get right into it. Who is Shelby? What’s her arc, what her are relationships like, what makes her tick? And why is she one of the most compelling characters on this show to me?

Trigger warning for discussion of a sexual relationship between a teacher and student. Because yeah, we’re going through everything.

Season One

Before the series, Shelby serves as a surrogate for Hiram and LeRoy Berry, and signs a contract agreeing to no contact with Rachel until Rachel was eighteen. At the time (she was in her early twenties, it seems) she went along with this, but came to regret it.

(There is some confusion as to specific details, at some points it’s said Shelby gave Rachel up for adoption, but at the same time in season one, these were Rachel’s parents:

So one of them is Jeff Goldblum. Let’s just agree Rachel was conceived in a time paradox and move on).

Shelby, a good singer (I mean, she’s Idina Menzel), ended up coaching Vocal Adrenaline and leading them to multiple national wins. At Sectionals in S1, she saw Rachel perform, which brought her regrets to the front of her mind and she decided she wanted to know her daughter, contract be damned. Rather than directly go after her, and face legal consequences, she asked Jesse to get a feel for if Rachel would want to know her, and to give her a message if so. Jesse does so, and she hears that Rachel is interested in meeting her.

They were in contact, openly, for a time - Rachel did want to know her mother, and Shelby was glad to be with her, but it soon faltered, and ended with Shelby cutting ties and leaving Lima.

Season One Thoughts

This story is genuinely compelling to me, but part of that might be from how I watched it - I do wonder what it would have been like week by week, and would need to double check to see how well a lot of the themes are conveyed. I think if you view the arc as a simple “Rachel wants to know her mom and Shelby backs out,” I can understand a lot of bitterness towards Shelby.

What the show does though, is deconstruct that. Glee, especially for the first five seasons, is never a straightforward ‘dreams come true’ narrative. There’s always something wrong. You could look at Quinn having a firm idea of what she wants her life to be like, and not actually enjoying any of the reality. You could look at Will’s storybook romance with his high school sweetheart and how that ended. You could look at the whole S1 finale, and how it’s predicated on the New Directions losing. Then there’s the finales for seasons 3 and 5, standing in defiance to the idea that your dreams coming true will be as simple or as easy or as satisfying as you imagine.

Shelby and Rachel both want something - and what they want is something they can’t get.

Shelby doesn’t want her daughter, she wants the baby she gave up fifteen years ago. Rachel doesn’t want Shelby, she wants to have had the ideal mother in her head. Shelby trying to be that for Rachel would be an act of selfishness. Rachel isn’t the daughter Shelby wanted - you don’t get a redo, she gave Rachel away fifteen years ago and there’s no second shot. Trying to somehow make a fifteen year old fill the same niche as her baby would be abuse. And then for Rachel, she’s always going to be looking for that history, that connection, with Shelby - and Shelby isn’t going to be able to magic up a relationship. The two of them are strangers, more than mother and daughter.

(I’m jumping ahead, but it’s worth saying that in season 4, Shelby pops by to see Rachel, and Rachel calls her ‘Shelby,’ not ‘mom.’ They aren’t mother and daughter on anything more than a biological level)

Sometimes toxic relationships aren’t a result of malevolence, but of two people fundamentally needing different things. So Shelby does the mature thing, and puts that distance between them, because if she doesn’t draw that line then Rachel is going to start spiralling.

(And, of course, then Shelby goes on to adopt Beth so that she can have the experience of raising a baby. It’s not the same, but it is closer).

Season Two

Shelby doesn’t appear. We can extrapolate a few things though - she raises Beth in New York as a single mother, though sees little showbusiness success.

Which brings us to season three.

First though, I’m going to ramble a little. This probably deserves its own essay at some point, but season one and season three feel like the same show to me - season two is very distinct.

Season 1B saw a spike in viewers compared to 1A after a chance for word of mouth to spread, and S2 would have offered the same - people hear about the show when it’s not on, and tune in when it starts up again. This was Glee’s heyday. This is just me speculating, but I do wonder how many people saw S2 as what Glee ought to be, or as the bit that best represented their tastes, when it was very much an aberration in the show’s run.

Notably, season two is almost completely devoid of the thematic beats that made season one so interesting to me - which season three brings back in a big way, and in a way that is central to Shelby’s arc. Lacking that context, it’s easy to see some already-dubious decisions seeming far worse to people for whom season two was so iconic.

Season Three

So here we go. Shelby is offered ostensibly a huge amount of money to come back to Lima, and help coach a rival show choir. Having apparently seen little success, as a single mother, she takes the chance.

Back at McKinley, Shelby coaches the Troubletones, and seems to be a welcoming teacher. Obviously though, the big dynamic is with Quinn and Puck, whose baby she’s raising. She sees herself in Quinn, and wants to give her the experience she once wanted - to have a chance to know her baby. Unambiguously though, early-S3 Quinn is not in a good place; she’s violent, cutting off friendships, self-destructive, and legitimately criminal at points. (I mean for crying out loud, she tries to plant stuff in Shelby’s apartment to get Beth taken away. Quinn is in a bad place).

Throughout it all, Shelby is remarkably restrained, always trying for sympathy rather than anger. Like, make no mistake, Quinn could so easily be expelled, if not more, for some of the stuff she pulls - and Shelby is quiet, and still leaves Beth on the table. She doesn’t want to trust her baby to someone currently not in the right headspace to look after another person, and is trying to keep boundaries to prevent another Rachel situation, but she wants Quinn to have the chance she didn’t.

Which, yeah, then we get to Puck. Honestly Puck’s someone else that probably merits an essay, still untangling how I feel there, but as far as this arc goes, Puck ends up attracted to Shelby, and she explicitly turns him down several times. Until a health scare with Beth sees her panic, and she sleeps with him, and while she is undeniably not in her right mind from that situation, it is absolutely something she should not have done. Puck is eighteen, as the show points out, but he is still a student and she is a teacher and there is no mindset where she should accept his advances.

There isn’t explicit resolution here, which is a shame. Quinn almost turns Shelby in, but decides not to - you can have your own opinions on that, where I fall is ‘Quinn doesn’t think Shelby’s ever going to do anything like that again, and wants Beth to have a mother who can look after her.’ Personal morality kinda has to be left at the door to deal with Glee characters, so I just go by whether I can buy the characters acting the way they do.

Shelby leaves town after this. Ostensibly, she is on better terms with Quinn - and Quinn gets good development over the rest of the season, though beyond a shot of a photo in Quinn’s locker (that she must have received from Shelby, indicating communication) I don’t think Beth gets mentioned again.

Which is where the recap ends. So!

Season Three Thoughts

Yeah, a lot to unpack here.

One of the things I find interesting about Shelby, is that a lot of the time she ends up in situations in which there really is no good option. In season one, the moment she decided to seek out Rachel, the only two outcomes were short-term heartbreak of Rachel missing her or saying goodbye, or the long-term decline of Shelby consistently failing to be able to be what Rachel wanted and needed her to be. One can condemn Shelby’s decision to violate the contract and seeking to contact Rachel soon after Sectionals, but it is at least a sympathetic mistake.

And then season three, right from the start we’re on an inevitable pathway to bad.

Step one, Shelby’s offered a well-paying job in a field she’s good at. She’s a single mom, paying New York rent, jumping at the chance for a payday is understandable, potentially even necessary. Plus it’s a job that means she can spend more time with her daughter.

Step two, okay, back in Lima, back at McKinley. Does she firmly draw lines and not interact with Rachel, Quinn and Puck, or at least limit such interactions to a professional context? Well, that’s not really feasible, non-interactions are still interactions and it would come off the same as simple rejection. Anything she does here will have an effect.

And she’s Shelby, her whole arc in season one was processing the fact she misses the daughter she never got to know. Of course she’d want to offer the same chance, when it comes to Quinn - she sees herself in Quinn.

S3E2, I Am Unicorn: “I know what happened to you. Same thing happened to me, when I gave up Rachel. I went with a Regis Philbin tattoo and the Sinead O’Connor haircut.”

She’s been where Quinn is. She isn’t looking down on Quinn, she’s recognising that Quinn very much is in a self-destructive spiral, just like she used to be, and wants to help her out of it, wants her to have the chance she didn’t, while recognising that Quinn is a danger to herself and to Beth at the current time. The notable thing to spot over 3A is that Shelby sees right through Quinn in a way few characters do, and is always genuinely trying to help her.

Which takes us to step three: what should she do about Quinn and Puck? She tries to set boundaries, and they get ignored. She wants to do it more slowly, to avoid what happened with Rachel, and Puck shows up uninvited, and Quinn keeps pushing - Shelby is bad at saying no, and clearly concedes more than she’s willing to or ought to. Equally, she doesn’t want to immediately ask a couple of teenagers with their own issues to babysit.

Could Shelby handle it better? Probably, but there isn’t really any good way to act in this situation, and certainly no good way for someone with Shelby’s history to act.

S3E6, Mash-Off: “It’s not about whose body she came out of. [Motherhood is] about accepting the fact that you don’t matter anymore. That your feelings, your life, and your body, they all come second to making sure that the child is happy and safe.”

Which, for the record, is where Quinn was in season one, just as Shelby herself was learning that lesson. It’s not about genes, it’s about care, and putting someone above your own wants. Shelby wanted a relationship with Rachel - and recognised that what she wanted wasn’t a healthy thing for Rachel. Quinn wants Beth - but more to mark it off as a milestone, an achievement. Quinn isn’t remotely ready to be a mother, not in season one, and certainly not in season three. It’s the same as the prom queen episode later in the season. She has an idea of what she wants her life to be, but none of it is actually her, just her idea of what she ought to do, and Shelby recognises that. (Quinn explicitly suggests that she could go back to being ‘Little Miss Blonde Perfect’ in S3E2, and Shelby replies with “Were you ever really that?” which, again, something Quinn herself takes the better part of the season to learn. The blonde is as much dye as the pink).

Shelby wanted Quinn to be in Beth’s life, but Quinn wasn’t ready. She just wasn’t. Quinn was having a crisis long before Shelby came back, Shelby just acknowledges it and tries to help her through before she’s a danger to herself or to Beth. Letting Quinn interact with Beth would be irresponsible, cutting Quinn off isn’t something Shelby would be able to do, so we’re left with that awkward middle-ground of Shelby wanting Quinn to clean up her act and Quinn taking it as an acting challenge, not acknowledging that she’s not fooling anyone.

Which brings us to Puck.

I will not defend Shelby’s actions - they don’t ruin her for me, though I can understand why it would be a step too far for a lot of people.

But let’s talk why this happened.

Tonight, We Are Young

S3E8: Hold Onto Sixteen: “It goes away, you know... the young. It happens really slow, and you don’t even notice it, and then one day everything just feels different.

Don’t wish away your life. You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. I think I thought being with an eighteen year old would make me feel eighteen again, but mostly it made me feel even older.

Alright. I’m going to enjoy my last few hours of being a teacher. I recommend that you enjoy being up on that stage.”

This is where that whole ramble about season two comes in. This is what Glee is about. Season one regularly paralleled the lives of the teachers with the drama of the students, both with Quinn and Shelby even back then, and of course Will’s whole story is about recapturing elements of his youth. Later seasons show the same characters navigating adult life, how their usual shenanigans aren’t so effective in the real world, and it parallels relationship drama in New York with the students still at McKinley...

Glee is about growing up, the good and the bad. I think, if you watch this show as a teenager, you won’t quite get that. I don’t think there’s any way you can. Glee definitely suffers from being unsure of its target audience at points, I feel.

But let’s talk about Shelby Corcoran. She was pregnant in her twenties and wanted to be a mother, and it’s fifteen years later and she only just got a baby. That’s a third of her life gone. She’s single, with a string of short-term flings mentioned but no indication of any long-term relationships nor any expectation of one. And she wants to be young again.

Haven’t we all felt like that? Especially after recent years, to be honest. What if we could go back five years, ten years, and do something differently? Grab an opportunity we weren’t able to grab? Everyone’s given these arbitrary milestones to meet - get married, have kids - and there’s always that vague pressure if you feel you’re not moving ‘fast enough.’

We could talk about Shelby. We could talk about Quinn trying to hit certain milestones over her high school life and failing pretty much all of them, we could talk Will not knowing how to date as an adult after staying with one person since high school, we could talk about Beiste and Emma who are full-grown adults that didn’t hit romantic of sexual milestones that most people would expect, we could talk every queer kid who takes a few more years to come to terms with what they want and inevitably lag a little behind. We could talk about the fact all these milestones are bullshit as is, but that feeling of pressure never goes away.

Shelby hit a milestone she planned to hit fifteen years ago. She feels the inexorable pressure of time, and tries to recapture her youth. And yes, does something wrong, something that ought to see her fired - though the fact the Troubletones are shut down in the aftermath and she leaves for New York indicates she did remove herself from the situation. Still, for me, what matters is not what the writers had her do, it’s why she did it. As gross as the plot point itself is, the purpose behind it lends sufficient weight for me to be more than just uncomfortable.

In Conclusion

I think there are some details here that are open to interpretation. I’ve seen Shelby called manipulative - I’d disagree with that characterisation, but no doubt you could find angles to take to lead you to it. One could debate how much of season three is her trying to use her experiences to help Quinn, how much is her projecting upon Quinn in a situation that doesn’t always fit, and how much is trying to live vicariously through Quinn. While I take a more sympathetic view, I could see the argument for some of these others.

You’re not going to find me claiming that Shelby’s perfect. I don’t think she is, nor would I want her to be. I think her flaws are compelling, and her motives make her an interesting character to dig into - and, yes, I find her relatable and sympathetic at many points through her appearances.

(Also, yes, I cried at I Dreamed A Dream)

And while there are definitely things I think you could argue make her unforgivable or unlikable - things basically every character on Glee has - there’s also enough there to engage with if you want to.

So, yes, I like Shelby Corcoran. I find her arcs compelling, her relationships in general interesting, her character marvellously complex, and the parallels she has with the rest of the cast add a lot to the themes of the show.

Thank you for reading this far about a character no one else seems to care about. If you did.

Now go listen to Somewhere.

Helping Rachel - Rory Flanagan

Not a request

Summary: Rachel messed up her NYADA audition, and is really upset about it. Seeing how much it effects her, Rory and Y/N take a road trip on her behalf. (can’t actually remember if he is in it here, but oh well)

Rachel was yet again in a mood. Since she messed up her audition, she hadn’t been right.

Honestly, I felt sorry for her. This was her dream, her whole life, and one mistake had ruined it. Didn’t seem fair, but what could I do to help.

I was sat in the choir room after everyone had left, trying to think how I could help. Rory walked in, coming over to me.

“Why’re you still here? Everyone else has gone.” He asked, taking a seat next to me.

“Trying to think if there’s a way to help Rachel.” I said. “It’s not fair one little sign of nerves, and her dream future is gone. We need to convince Carmen to give her another chance.”

“And we will.” He said, putting an arm around me. “It’s sweet that you care so much.”

“She may be a pain sometimes, but that’s because she cares. She’s a friend Rory.”

I laid my head on his shoulder.

“Well, unless you can attend her classes, I don’t think you’ve got a chance.” He chuckled lightly.

“Ror, that’s it.” I said, sitting up again. “Carmen Tibideaux teaches more than her NYADA classes. If I can find a class close by, maybe I can catch her.”

i grabbed my laptop, and searched for her classes. “Got it!” I closed the laptop, and got up. “I’m gonna talk to her, there’s one going now, if I leave now, I can catch her.”

“I’m coming too.”

As we were leaving, we ran into Mr Schue, almost literally.

“Where’s the fire?” He chuckled.

“I think we may be able to get Rachel a shot at NYADA again, but we have to leave now. Don’t say anything in case we can’t.”

Without waiting for a response, me and Rory sped off again.

We got to her just as she was about to leave.

“Carmen Tibideaux?”

She turned to face me.

“How can I help?”

“Look, I know this is unusual and unorthodox but I have to do this. Not long ago, you came to McKinley High to see Rachel Berry audition and she choked. That’s not Rachel, she’s amazing! She knows that song off by heart, she IS Fanny Brice.” I told her.

“I don’t know what it was. Nerves maybe? This is her biggest and only dream and I couldn’t let one mistake ruin her dream. Please, please let her re-do her audition. She’d be the best addition to NYADA.”

“It’s sweet you care so much about your friend. Not many would do this.” She commented. “But she had more than double the time I give to auditionees, I’m sorry. It wouldn’t be fair.”

I sighed.

“Look, we’ve got a Glee Club competition coming up. Technically she’s not auditioning.” Rory said, handing her an info leaflet. “Just think about it, we’ll save you a seat.”

We walked away, hopefully Carmen would come.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was finally the day of the competition, and I’m surprised Rachel was here. No one knew we’d asked Carmen to come. We didn’t dare to say in case she didn’t show. Looking out into the crowd, as Rachel was getting ready for her solo, I saw Carmens seat empty and sighed.

“She didn’t show.”

“Who?” Finn asked, appearing near us to watch Rachel when she performed.

“Carmen Tibideaux. Me and Rory went to ask her to give Rachel another chance and invited her tonight.”

“Wow, that’s so amazing. I can’t believe you’d do that for her.”

“Well, that’s Y/N for you.” Rory said. “She’s amazing and selfless. It’s kinda why I’m in love with her.”

I looked at him in shock, Finn grinned.

“My man.”

“You-you what?”

“I love you Y/N, always have.”

Without another word, I kissed him, and he quickly returned it. We pulled apart when Rachel had walked onstage and started to sing. Partway through, Rory nudged me.

“Y/N look.”

I looked where he was pointing to see Carmen walking to her seat.

“She came. We did it Rory!”

Rachel noticed her, as she sat down. A grin lit up her entire face.

The rest of her performance was the best and brightest I’ve seen Rachel in months.

“I can’t believe she came! How did she know?” Rachel asked, running off stage.

Before anyone could answer, we all had to go and finish our performance.

Seven Sentence Sunday

I was tagged by @apothecarose- Thank you!

Patrick started to re-evaluate his entire life and all the choices he has made about four months ago. He and Rachel were to meet the florist to discuss flower arrangements for the wedding. He arrived early, because that is what Patrick Brewer does. He noticed the florist looking at him right away. His name was Ken and he had a million dollar smile. They started talking and Patrick got the distinct feeling Ken was flirting with him. Ken disappeared for a moment and then returned with his phone number.

"I usually don't do this with customers, but if you ever want to get a drink sometime, give me a call," Ken smiled and winked at Patrick as he handed him the piece of paper.

"Oh… I'm sorry! I'm engaged. But thank you, though," Patrick told him, feeling a blush creep up along his neck and cheeks.

"That's fine. Hang on to it. Just in case."

He also wrote Transitioning and Glee, Actually.

The only good thing about the trans besite storyline is the trans choir at the end. Genuinely touching moment. And Glee, Actually is just about the most forgettable Christmas episode, and this is saying a lot.

All in all, he had the worst episode out of the writinf staff including Ian Brennan.

I didn't mean to rant, but the deeper I got was the more baffled I got. Also, this is important stuff to discuss, Klaine be damned. What kind of whichcraft did Matthew Hodgson preform for him to keep getting episodes? I wanna hear full blown conspiracies.

For the record re: the mention of Klaine, Klaine discussions are welcome on this blog but EKA never actually wanted to talk about them lol, it's just stupid bullshit and any excuse to be shitty online. Genuine Klaine discussions would be welcome, if I had any.

I think the fandom at large dislikes Beiste's transition much more than I do and that didn't actually begin in Hodgson's episode so I'll give that one a pass but still, generally this guy is just wow, decidedly the worst on the writing staff. So by all means rant away he's my archnemesis for what he did in IKAG.

To recap his run as an episode writer:

IKAG: the worst episode of Glee

Saturday Night Glee-ver: would have been alright but he had to go and write a SEX TAPE storyline

Glee, Actually: yawn

Shooting Star: no explanation needed

Puppet Master: w h a t

The Untitled Rachel Berry Project: no

Transitioning: eh, maybe his most tolerable

And I want everyone to know that I had to check the wiki for this list and had to read the comment "I kissed a girl was a good episode" with my own two eyes. I wish I was Lea Michele two minutes ago.

Also what do you have against Ian Brennan lol genuinely curious

send ⭐ for muse pairings : mine x yours

peter parker x kamala khan ⇾ honestly ? fan - girl vibes. that's it. peter being older than kamala but also still young compared to the rest of the superheroes. he had his own fan - boy moments and i think he and kamala would have some fun interactions.

tatum riley x gale weathers ⇾ in my au where tatum actually survives. just in law things. also since tatum was so protective of sidney and so catty to gale, the evolution of that would be so interesting to play out.

regina mills x johanna mason ⇾ in my hunger games verse for regina, a victor of . . . i think i had her win the . . . i don't remember which games. 50 - something. 4, maybe ? idk. but just victor bullshit, rebellion bullshit.

eleanor dutton x jolene walsh ⇾ just two country girls. she's my yellowstone oc, the kid beth and rip never had. idk i just want some fun things for her and i reckon they could get on well. maybe. if ellie's anything like her mother though, she'll be a handful. maybe jolene can chill her out or be a good balance for her ? idk lol.

rachel berry x rowan griffith ⇾ or claudia johnson ? idk just some industry peeps. my take on rachel is re - imagined and i have no real thoughts on what we could do with them, i just have a mighty need to write her lol. alternatively, my broadway oc mackenzie brenner would also be a good option, i think.

thena x vidya sharma ⇾ i meeeeeeeean ? i miss them. i love them. i would love to pick them back up again pls n thank you. that's all.

verna x valquiria frietas ⇾ i think there's SO much potential here for them crossing paths over hundreds of years, every few generations. maybe valquiria even struck a deal with verna at some point ? not sure, but i think there's lots of potential for sure. otherwise, i think valquiria and elphaba ( @defyed ) could work too.

ra mi-young x aster monet ⇾ mi-young is a doctor. my default for her is in an apocalyptic setting. it just kinda makes sense to me, maybe ? idk. i also have no thoughts, head empty for this i just think it'd be neat.

#& out ‚ answered.#nereidae #taaaaaaaaaas !#my love i have missed yooooou #idk what any of this is love me anyway

thank you for the tag @cinammonelles! c:

I'm tagging: @kunikida-simp, @thriftstorebabayaga, anyone else who wants to~ don't feel like you need to though.

this is a looonnnggg post, so I'm putting it under a read more~

First Ship Ever in Your Life: From what I remember it would have been between these two (I forget which one came first timewise): Bella x Edward (Twilight - yes I was a fan of the series, now I just make fun of it), or Rachel x Jesse (St. Berry - although Lea Michele is a terrible human, still 100% ship this)

The Ultimate Three Ships: Hmm... That's hard because I've kinda stopped 'shipping' things, but I guess I would say (and this one is one I have heard beforehand, so don't judge just me~) Maxi & Ruth [Under the Oak Tree] (I'm sorry, I love Riftan, but like, c'mon...), Miyamura x Hori [Horimiya] (I guess that one is cannon, so unsure if it counts, but I'm adding it), and lastly, Deku x Bandages [My Hero Academia] (mans is always in a bandage - I stg)

The First Crush (Fictional Character/Fandom): Hawkeye from M*A*S*H - 100%. I was like ten at the time, and boy did I like that man. Still do!

Last Song: Might U - From My Hero Academia: Hero's Rising Movie

Last Movie: Watched fully through? First time watching, or re-watching?

Last Movie stated (but not ended): Beauty and the Beast (live action)

Last Movie finished: Fifty Shades of Grey - the last one. Honestly, I just put them on in the background at this point. I know people won't believe me when I say this, but I actually like the story in them, not the other parts. People won't believe me, but it's true.

First Time watching: I honestly forget the name. It was one about a couple who after years of the wife waiting to go on their honeymoon, the husband finally books it (although it was a wine tasting tour). On the plane she meets a rich guy, who invites them to stay on his yacht instead. They end up being roped into a murder mystery.

Favorite Flower: Honestly, kinda feel like it's a lame flower, but buttercups. They aren't interesting in anyway, I just like them.

Currently Reading (you can add a link): Besides all of my weekly webtoons/manhuas/etc. I've been reading Boys Abyss (it's a wild ride for sure), and rereading two series that I read in high school (Hush Hush, and The Paper God series)

Currently Watching: Need to catch up on the latest season of Bungo (got kinda in a funk halfway through and stopped watching many shows, so I'm starting to get around to watching things again)

Last Thing I Wrote (Ship/Fandom) (can add link): The latest chapter of the fanfiction.

Currently Writing (can add link): NPC bios for a DnD campaign I am in. I'm writing two people from my characters home town, so I will add in some things that the party can learn about my character from them, and I will add the insight check numbers and such. I'm kinda excited to do that. :)
