I'm trying out gouache and for a first attempt I think this came out pretty well! It's very interesting to work with and I'm having a lot of fun so there will probably be more studies and paintings posted on here in the near future

“I prefer not to. It’s all messy ‘n stuff. I hardly remember her shape, her fur, her face….
…but those eyes….”
ANYWAYS IM THINKING THOUGHTS. What if this became video game style instead of comic. Like still comic but you can choose dialogues and stuff

Do you have any sort of oc bible or easy way to read about your mysme ocs and all their timelines and stuff? I’m interested to know more about them
I do not have an OC Bible posted! But, God knows you asked me something at the right time. If you want to read about them the fast way, they have information sheets here. But, I think you're here for more so check under the cut for everything there is to know!
(Lila Lancelot)
(Minji Cho)
(Judas)
Lila Lancelot is my main MC.
A fashionable but shy Lolita who struggles with confidence and insecurities. She's the classic example of somebody who can be so confident and loud with friends, but has such a hard time with strangers. She's twenty-one years old and has spent most of her life as a black sleep.
No matter how hard she tried to be good enough for her mother, she simply... couldn't measure up. Every step of the way, it became a game of carrot on a string. If there was a chance for her to get closer, she would get there to quietly realize she would need to keep going. Because of this, she has a super poor sense of self-esteem.
She tries to see the best in people no matter what but sometimes it can backfire on her. A lot of people would say that she's naive. That simply isn't true.
She wants people to be inherently good so she doesn't have to contend with the fact that there are some people in the world who aren't. She knows very well that some people are cruel and as painful as that is, sometimes it's easier to try to see the best in people. That can be to her detriment sometimes.
She spent her entire life being compared to her older sister, because Lucy couldn't ever do a thing wrong in their mother's eyes. But, even though the two of them were seemingly pushed against each other in a game of their mother's creation, neither of them hold that against each other or hate each other. It was a painful realization, though.
Lila and Lucy... they were always close. Lucy never wavered when their mother berated Lila. She would... make a distraction in their conversation or sway their mother to think about something else whenever she could do so.
Lila never hated or blamed her sister for the invisible line between them. She admired the way her sister sparkled. Lucy was always by her side! In many ways, Lucy was the person she could trust to take her side if something went wrong. Her sister was her confidante in every way imaginable.
When Lila couldn't go to her mother or father, she could find Lucy to talk about anything and everything that was happening in the house, at school, and everywhere else.
But, as big sisters do, Lucy, being five years her sister's senior, moved out to college and that left Lila alone with her parents. Her job in the house got worse. She spent her teens cleaning the house and being forced to stay home when she wasn't at school or work on her grandparents property in the fall. That... was the best time of year.
Her grandparents own and operate a cute little garden that is open to photographers year-round and they really put the passion in during the fall when pumpkins are about and they can build their maze! Working for them got her out of the house and she made a point of trying to go there as much as possible.
Her mother is the kind of person who expects perfection out of everything she does.
But she can never be perfect enough so the carrot on the string always feels like it'll never be given to her. Her father is the kind of person who looks away whenever her mother says or does something out of line or out of turn.
He wasn't an inactive participant in the worst aspects of her emotional abuse, but his inability to do or say anything left Lila in a place where she couldn't trust either of her parents. The more time she spent fighting to be good enough for them every day, the more exhausted and insecure she became.
Things got a little bit easier after 2 years of the same routine, if only because her sister had a fling with a friend and fell pregnant in the aftermath. Her mother focused every bit of her attention on Lucy and the baby. It was easier for Lila to focus on her classes and it kept her from feeling overwhelmed for a little bit. Eventually, Mia was born and most of the noise in the house was peaceful! Lila had the time to explore new hobbies, namely Lolita and photography! She finally had an outlet to enjoy herself! Plus! She had more time to be in the gardens at her grandparents house.
Things finally had to be moving in the right direction now... but, they were only the calm before the storm.
Lucy moved in with her girlfriend a short time after Mia was born and things went right back to how they were. The cycle had begun once again, and Lila knew she had to get out of there. She kept saving her money and squaring it away until she had a sizable amount in there to start over when she had something in mind and when it was safe to do so.
The pattern continued for two and a half years until—
Tragedy struck.
Her father died in an accident and that sent the family into shambles. Her mother was in a state of agony as far as anyone could tell... but Lila knew better than that. Her mother... kept throwing parties and inviting folks over to grieve all the time. She wanted the pity to feel better about herself. She wanted people to feel sympathetic and to offer their care in every way she could milk.
Lila hated it. That wasn't just because of the fact that she had no time to grieve or understand her pain, she was the only one cleaning and cooking for all of those events... Anytime, anywhere, if folks came over, it was Lila's job to take care of all of it for her "sad mother".
Years of being treated like a windup doll who could never be good enough finally became too much. She broke down one day in the middle of one of those get togethers and screamed at her mother with every ounce of agony she'd experienced over the years.
Her mother claimed to be humiliated and the rest of the family, sans her grandparents were all but happy with her about her actions. That... stung. She thought she could turn to Lucy to find comfort and understanding, but her big sister didn't offer that this time.
Grief makes people struggle in the worst kind of way no matter how you slice it... and Lucy believed their mother felt horrible. She got so caught up in her grief about the loss and the pain she imagined their mother to be feeling, she made the mistake of assuming that Lila wasn't being pushed to the edge during the get-togethers...
If only because Lucy couldn't come over all that often and she heard a lot of the story secondhand. Lila and Lucy had a major argument over this misunderstanding and failed to communicate the way they truly needed to.
Lila felt abandoned.
She decided she needed to get the hell away from her family for as long as possible to be able to not only grieve but be herself. So, the first thing she did was throw a dart at a map and book the first flight out of dodge. It was just her luck that it landed in Seoul, and truly unbeknownst to her, her future.
Depending on the Timeline, she can end up in Mint Eye with Ray, or she can end up as a lowly assistant to Unknown. She has a huge swathe of concepts and timelines since she has to match with Saeran or Ray!
Stories:
Flowers of Paradise is a collective series about her different timelines.
(Note: Her original story concept that was written years ago for Another Story is not her canon now. Every single story outside of Convallaria Majalis and Primula Vulgaris is canon. I need to rewrite her main story with Ray, Suit Saeran, and GE Saeran.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Minji Cho is a secondary MC.
A girl with shimmering starlight in her eyes who dreams of owning her own café in the future. She's the kind of person you want to be friends with. She is supportive and only sees the best in the people around her. But, she isn't naive to think people aren't cruel... She knows that there are people she'll never be able to understand in the world, but she still wants to be compassionate.
She's the kind of person who thinks that the best way to somebody's heart is with a treat. For some reason, if you meet her, you might truly begin to believe that a simple fruit pie could bring out the best in another person if she offered it. At twenty-three, she's getting close to the dream she always had!
Growing up, she had a normal upbringing. Her mother, her father, and her two younger siblings... A close-knit family who is really no different than any other family out there if it comes to love and support.
Her family was comfortable and even if she didn't have everything she wanted, she had everything she needed. Her younger siblings are much younger than she is but she still loves them with all her heart. She loves to bake with them because it's the one way she knows how to bond with other people. She's just your girl-next-girl type in every sense of the word. She's got a great sense of humor to boot!
There hasn't really been a lot of hurt in her life thus far, but she wants to be able to truly understand others as best she can no matter what. The only discomfort she's ever faced in her life is mild teasing from people during her schooling years.
She's rather tall, topping out at 5'10" by the time all was said and done, but she tried to not let it get to her so badly. As a runner who loves to feel the breeze, her legs did her a lot of good! She still runs every day to this day to get herself ready to face what's to come that day.
Though, of course, running early in the day and late at night has put her in trouble with others before. One time in particular, she had to take a different route home due to heavy construction, and she had no idea she had walked into a lion's den that had no care for her fate.
She encountered a stranger with a friendly smile on his lips who offered to walk her back home, and to this day, she hasn't let herself forget those piercing blue eyes. It was far from the first time that she encountered a good Samaritan, but there was... just something about him she couldn't forget...
(I bet you're wondering who that stranger was but don't worry, you'll find out!)
Minji is a compassionate soul who trusts at first glance.
It's something that people could use against her but she doesn't care if they try. She would rather do something right for other people than care about being used. It might be silly and she might be putting in too much work for people that may never give it back but she'd rather just do something good than not.
This, of course, is something that inevitably leads her to face trouble when she decides to accept a request from a stranger and enter an apartment without second thoughts.
Stories:
Petunia is about her romance with Judas and Saeyoung. [Based in Unknown's Assistant Timeline with Lila.]
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Judas is also a secondary MC.
Snarky, mysterious, and flirtatious. You have never met a twenty-five year old like this guy. The devil is in the details and you're not going to find out the details about him no matter how hard you tried to pry. He is the kind of person that figures out everything there is to know about you before you even realize there is something more about you. He has a sharp tongue and it has served him well over the years as an informant.
Criminal turned informant, of course. If he wants you to know something, he'll let you figure it out on your own, but if he doesn't ever want you to know something about him, you never will know what it is.
Every word he says is hidden behind another layer.
At first glance, he appears to be no different than a casual flirt who likes to share a smile and sympathy with you. You may think he just wants to have a lot of fun but that's the image he's cultivated for himself.
He wants you to think of him as nothing more than a flirt and if that's all you see him as, then that's exactly what he wanted you to see. He has over a dozen masks for a reason. His real name isn't even Judas, it's just one of many he adopted over the years working in his industry. There might be a lot in a name but he could care less. In the end, any name is better than the one he was born with.
Growing up, he was used as a prop for his family. Well, not his father. His mother. She was born into a relatively successful family who wanted his mother to settle down and have a family as well as continue her career.
She wanted nothing to do with the husband or a child, but she decided that to get into the good graces of her family and inevitable inheritance, she would have a single child and a husband to use as props. His French mother found the first guy who was willing to be a trophy husband and married him. That happened to a Korean man who didn't mind a loveless marriage.
It was convenient for her because it allowed her to expand her industry into the South Korean economy.
He was nothing more than a glorified toy to his mother. She could show him off whenever there was a reason for the family to be together, and as long as he lived up to her expectations, he could have anything he wanted. He was a lonely child who had nothing unless he was visiting the family who expected him to be the best of the best just as much as his mother did.
He learned everything he was supposed to and did everything he was supposed to but it was never enough. He was a miserable child who had nothing and no one. His father had no sympathy for him because he spent most of his time focused on the money his mother brought home to use at his own convenience. He was just a forgotten possession until it was convenient to remember.
Until one day, when he reached his preteens, his mother decided that enough was enough. She decided to divorce his father and return back to France. She abandoned the two of them and left them with nothing. His father blamed him for everything because he was supposed to be the ticket to paradise.
In the end, he was abandoned by his father as well. He spent his teenage years learning how to defend himself on the streets and how to survive. He did a good job of it until he was caught in the act of pickpocketing by a man... A man not too much older than him when he was a mere 18... but still old enough to know he was wrong.
A man who would groom him to be a vicious weapon in the guise of false romance. Judas thought this man loved him and would never hesitate to do things for him. He fell into this man's life fast. This man was the son of the worst of the worst, a mafioso, and to prove himself to his father, he used Judas as a key pawn to get rid of and dispel anybody who got in his way. It was an extremely toxic and horrid relationship which only twisted Judas around like a marionette for years until he had a realization that his so-called boyfriend didn't give a shit about him.
He caught his boyfriend cheating on him in the act. He lashed out at him and was beaten for it. Judas decided then and there he was going to dismantle the entire organization and then kill his ex-boyfriend himself in cold blood.
He turned into an informant, obsessed with the idea of getting back at the man who hurt and manipulated him for years. He spent years going in and out of different operations learning secrets and tools of the trade to gain the upper hand on people and manipulate them into doing what he needed them to do.
Sure, did that mean he was doing things that would help people that were getting trafficked or hurt in the process? Yes. A huge chunk of his revenge was helping people to get away from the organization that his ex-boyfriend ran but was he doing it to protect them?
Was he doing it because it was the right thing? That's hard to say in the end. He would tell you that he was doing it because it ruined everything his ex-boyfriend was trying to do, but it seems as though there's definitely some heart in there whether he wants to admit it or not.
Ultimately, just as he was about to strike and get his revenge, he enraged the wrong person and the only way he could get out of it and save his skin was to make a deal with an agency. The same agency that the one and only 707 Extreme worked for. He was placed into the custody of Vanderwood and 707 to be interrogated and eliminated once all of his information was shared. So, Judas began to play a game of cat and mouse with those two to survive...
Toying with 707... But there is no denying that there is a strong tension between the two of them that neither of them want to completely discuss, but if they're left alone long enough, it gets dangerously close to something. Something that neither of them will name.
Ultimately, just as things seem to be on the brink of moving south for him, Judas sees a familiar face with pretty blonde hair on the screen of 707's monitor... and as soon as he utters her name, that begins a story as old as time.

Hang 'Em High is an introspective after the Secret Ending about him and Saeyoung.

Okay so can I just say that I hate that when people make a painting they have to do so much explaining of the meaning behind every brush stroke and color choices. Like fr I made a painting for an art gallery for alumni at my college and I know for a fact people are gonna ask me for some deep reasoning.
Sleep deprivation and rice is the only answer I always can think of when I consider what questions will come my way.

Pearl and Martyn’s Iron Song: Bright Side Of The Life Series Piece
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My piece for the @brightsideoflifeseries event, based of episode 1 of double life where pearl and Martyn sing a song about iron (artist ramblings under the cut)
Speaking of people you should follow: here’s everyone who participated in the event and all there piece’s (FOLLOW THEM, FOLLOW THEM NOW, I pale in comparison to them they are AMAZING):
so…… I might be a tad late. It may not look it but this piece was REALLY difficult for me to make with the perspectives of the bodies and surprisingly the facial expressions (how do you not make them not look disgusting). I actually had surprisingly a lot of fun with doing the background and shading (though that doesn’t mean it’s gonna be good, I’m letting myself take small victories).
Even though this was really hard for me I’m still glad I decided to participate in this event. Also I want to give a HUGE shoutout to Kait (@uy8hg-art) for being so INCREDIBLY lovely to me by willingly going along with my weekly check-ins, giving me really good feedback and just being so wonderfully patient with me! So please follow them they are great (I’m mean you should everyone who participated in this event cause they are amazing but I feel that the organiser should get a special shout out)!

Now if you’ll excuse me I’ve got several art studies I need to do cause this project made me realise I was way too in over my head.

Varian and the Seven Kingdoms Consolidation of Info
Requested by anon
This is going to be a consolidation of all the official Vat7K stuff I have on my blog, including copy/pasting of posts Kay Ritter and Anna Lencioni have posted, and to a lesser extent, things I’ve posted with insider knowledge I had before Kay ever released their notes. Alexa Bosy was also involved in the project.*
*Please note that all these asks were sent when Kay was still going by Kait and was still using she/her pronouns. I have edited to reflect their preferred name and pronouns when referencing them, but did not edit the content of the original asks.
The Cast
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Via Kay: Here is some higher-res art of that initial, old line-up. These are some of the character page descriptions we gave when we presented “Varian and the Seven Kingdoms!” I had to shut of my asks because I’m just getting slammed every day, so I’m sorry if I don’t get back to any of you!! I appreciate all the enthusiasm, though! ; - ; Please enjoy and keep creating!!! (Also enjoy some Anna sketches- she designed Varian’s cousins and they’re dang cute!)
The Design
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Via Kay: Some character design/ costume concept art for a fan project me and Anna dreamed up. It was a little spinoff comic about Varian continuing his adventures in alchemy through the seven kingdoms in order to learn the seven alchemical laws and attain forbidden knowledges. New characters we wanted to play with were Varian’s mom, who design-wise was a in flux, since we only had one reference image to go off of…but we really wanted to match her aesthetic to Varian/ that of a field researcher. We always imagined her as being a lot like Varian! Tried to develop some motifs between the other characters (L-R: Hugo, Donella, and Donella’s muscle-man) to make them look like the evil pack they were. Hugo was a sneaky artificer who conned the wealthy and worked for Donella: Varian’s mother’s former research partner. We also had Yong and Princess Nuru- who were some new friends that Varian would meet on his journey! And of course, Prometheus, a farm donkey Quirin gifted to Varian before he left Corona. (Not quite a Maximus…but, hey!) 
Sample Pages
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rough layout by Anna Line cleanup by Alexa Ink/color by Kay
Beat Boards
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Via Kay: Here are some old beat boards Anna and I did when we were making this fan-baby!
The first few explored Varian meeting Yong and making his first friend, completing the first trial of the seven kingdoms. In the nighttime one- Anna had a cool idea that Princess Nuru’s dress was an active star chart and that she could act as the group navigator, using it to guide them. The last few were just some group interactions and Varian coming face to face with his mother.The super short story is: we imagined each of the seven kingdoms would teach one of the seven alchemical stages of transformation and reveal a totem. With all seven totems acquired, Varian would be able to use them to reunite with his long-lost mother (we’d called her Ulla) who was trapped somewhere unreachable by her former partner, Donella, long ago. Donella was after the totems as well to prevent Ulla’s release and sent Hugo to collect them as a double-agent within the group. Hugo would later betray Donella in service of helping Varian reach Ulla. We viewed Hugo and Varian’s relationship evolving from a sort of Pinocchio/ Lampwick situation (literally what that drawing is from) to that of an equal one. In a way, their bond repaired the partnership that frayed between Ulla and Donella.
Notes
Anon Ask: Kait! Appreciate the infodump (I'm the currently-Tumblr-less user w the bombardment of Q's earlier) & I'm stoked that you've given us your blessing to use the concept!:P Got more random Q’s, if you’re up for it! Was the comic outfit Varian’s final, or the other designs would’ve been used too (same w Ulla’s 2 designs)? 7 trials ideas, & 7 kingdoms’ names? How much time after TTS would this be? & finally, was Varian planning on actually RIDING that donkey, or would he pull a caravan(?)thing?xD -GC
Kay’s Answer: The outfits were still in flux- the comic was a representation of our first draft and the other designs came later (including Hugo’s upgrade, Donella, etc.) The red dress Ulla was a flashback type of look whereas the teal one is more like…how Varian would have found her. You know I actually found some screenshots of the ol’ docs we wrote using the 7 alchemical stages to mirror the seven kingdoms. We tried to find an alchemical story component, a magical story component, and a figurative/character story component for each! We never actually named the kingdoms and we also crafted a lot of them before they existed canonically in the show (I think there’s an episode of RTA where Raps competes against princesses from the seven kingdoms and they’re mentioned there)…so just know it’s not accurate to that at all, haha.
But here! These are very note-to-self format…so…apologies lol...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Via Anna: I don’t wanna clutter my main tumblr page but here was the rough outline Kait and I wrote for our fan comic “Varian and the Seven Kingdoms!” Just a reminder that this is totally unofficial, just fan stuff. Would have been fun, wish we could have done it even just recreationally!! Hope you all can use this however you want and continue to enjoy it 🖤
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Questions and Answers
Anon Ask: Hello Kait! I would like to know more about Hugo’s past. Your friend mentioned that Hugo is an orphan. Where did Hugo grow up? So, where will he go after betraying Donella?  Does he have a permanent place of residence? 
Kay’s Answer: I’m trying to recall what Anna said, but he definitely grew up an orphan. From what I can remember, the kingdom he grew up in had a very highly divided class system and Hugo was determined to find a way not to live on scraps. And not just that, but to like…get back at, take advantage of as many rich idiots as possible. He’s Robin Hood robbing the rich to feed himself. Someone here called him a champagne-taste kind of guy and that’s exactly right.
He’s manipulative, so he’s probably well ahead of developing technologies and other things for the rich people who invest in him. He’d probably just withhold the best stuff for himself and do what he needed to stay in his patrons’ good graces. And he’d steal whatever they didn’t give him and never get caught.  (I think Anna designed like a motorized bike or something for him once…he’s literally the cool guy with a car. He’d totally keep something like that all for himself.)
Donella and her gang offered protection more than anything…so he offers most of his work to her first. Including his sneakier services. That’s how he ends up being the one to go after Varian. It’s probably also how (in our wildest dreams) we imagined him possibly having pulled a job (and likely conned) Eugene back in his Rider days. Pulled a Rider on a Rider as a sneaky kid.
All of this is also why he’d switch alliances on Donella when it felt right to do so. Hugo has a wild compass but he follows it in service of himself pretty much always. Becoming close to Varian kinda changes that streak in him. He’d probably hang out with Varian whenever everything blew over, maybe settle back down in Corona. Meet this princess everyone keeps talking about. Wait…Rider lives in a CASTLE NOW?!
~*~*~
Anon Ask: Kait! Varian and the seven kingdoms is giving me so much life during quarantine bless your heart for all this :’) I have a question, what kind of life did our sweet boy Yong live? Was he an orphan too? Or did Varian promise his parents/guardian he’d take care of him? After they finish their adventure does Varian take Yong under his wing so he stops blowing stuff up and causing fires? 
Kay’s Answer: I love Yong, I think everyone loves Yong, I think Yong’s parents and family (which I always imagined as being very big) all love Yong. But I think they are all very tired and very grateful that he has made a friend who is willing to take him on as a mentee. I imagine he’s gone through a few. (Very Young Hercules lol.)
~*~*~
Anon Ask: This is a question on the 7 kingdoms au thing. When Ulla was researching in the Dark Kingdom, was this before or after it was abandoned? It was likely before it was abandoned but I'm just not sure. Also, this is probably more of a question for Kritterart, but since she made that post about getting too many asks I decided to ask that question to you. 😅 
My Answer: Yeah, I have absolutely no idea how to answer that. Seeing as how the Dark Kingdom was on the seven kingdoms list in the comic, I have to guess that they hadn’t yet developed in the series that the kingdom had been abandoned, but that’s just my guess. 
Kay’s Reply: (We were thinking it was before…and also where she met Quirin, fell in love with him! Just before they moved to Corona- the place where the final trial/totem were. She paused her research to have a family, that bummed Donella out, Quirin let her go after Varian was born, and she never came back.)

Anon Ask:  If VAT7K ever became canon, would Varian and Hugo been an actual couple? Making Varian bi? 
My Answer: Yes.
Well.
Okay, I don’t know for a fact that they’d have been a couple or endgame, however, I was talking to Kait about it a long time ago and she told me that Vat7K would confirm that Varian is bi (and she was referring to Hugo).
An Important note from Kay
I’m getting way more 7K questions than I have time or any real authority to answer considering there is no ACTUAL CONTENT to reference lol, but I just wanna let you guys know how much I appreciate them all! I’m sorry if I don’t answer your question. I also just don’t want my art tumblr to turn into a huge Q&A, haha.We’ve been loving all the fanart and support and curiosity. It’s amazing! That said- 7K and its dealings, characters are NOT CANON. So if it’s not for you, that’s so totally okay. You’re super valid. We made it for you guys, but it’s yours to take what you like from it and change what you don’t when you use it (or don’t) to tell your own story! We just wanted to help Varian’s story continue, like many of you! So whatever you love or don’t love, don’t be afraid to create based on it!!! We love it all. You guys are the best! Please have fun!!!!

insane headcanon/AU that the Until Dawn kids were camp counselors for the Hacketeers.
head girl's counselor is Emily, Emma loves her and they take super cute "Big Em, Little Em" pics together all the time. She (and Jessica) teach little Em how to do her eyeliner and crop all of her clothes and how to deal with stupid boys. When Emma feels insecure and doesn't think perfect Emily will relate, Jessica teaches her about 'fake it til you make it' confidence. By the end of the summer, Emma has Jacob wrapped around her finger, but Abi is the one she'll be keeping in touch with.
head boy's counselor is Chris, he's the most popular of the group, both with his friends and the kids. After seeing Dylan by himself the first few days, he teaches him how to make friends using humor and pranks.
Ryan's favorite counselor is Josh--he thinks it's amazing that Josh's dad makes horror movies, and Josh tells him all kinds of behind the scenes facts. Josh also helps him make the spookiest ghost stories. Chris, Josh, Ryan and Dylan are kind of menaces when they're all together, but it's hard to stay mad at them.
Ashley, in charge of arts and crafts, and Abi bond immediately, though this causes some friction as it makes Abi and Emma argue over who is cooler--Ash or Emily. Ashley encourages Abi's art, and giving Abi advice about her crush on the more popular Emma makes Ash realize she needs to do something about her own crush on super popular Chris.
Sam quickly takes Kaitlyn and Laura under her wing, with lots of chill, practical survival advice. Sam takes the classic camp experience seriously, but not too seriously, and both Kait and Laura want to be a counselor just like her. Kaitlyn turns out to be a crackshot at the range and Laura is talented in first aid.
Max and Jacob initially gravitate to Mike, seeing how cool he is and how both Jessica and Emily like him (Laura is Max's neighbor and first love and this summer, he wants to be more than friends). When Mike's relationship drama stirs up, Max shifts to the quieter Matt--but Mike's love of animals shows Jacob that it's okay for a popular, macho guy to have a softer side.
Matt is in his first year as a counselor, and although he's in charge of sports activities, he still feels like a camper himself. Working with quiet, newly immigrated Nick is a perfect fit, as they bond over sports and Matt is able to use his connections with the other counselors and their Hacketeers to help Nick make friends.
