Nova & Nathan for the ultimate ship meme pls 🥺

send 2 names for the ult. ship meme! || x || selectively accepting

General:

How long will they last? - This question always makes me afraid because it’s Nathan, and there are a million and three ways Nathan can irreparably screw up a relationship. However, I like to think that these two could last a few years at least, if not eventually get married. Whether or not their marriage would last... I don’t know. Nathan’s relationship with marriage isn’t good and I worry.

How quickly did/will they fall in love? - I’m not sure about Nova, but Nathan fell in love with her the second he realized she gave a crap about him and wasn’t just being nice to him for sex. He liked her before then, of course, he thought her shy innocence was cute.

How was their first kiss? - Have we talked about their first kiss? I can’t remember. But Nathan probably instigated it, and it was probably while awkwardly trying to work up to sex. Soft, but sloppy. Not awful, but not spectacular either.

Wedding:

Who proposed? - Nathan. Absolutely. Probably very casually and maybe posed as a possible joke so that if she said “no” he could back out without looking too much like an idiot. It was not very romantic. I do like the idea of him proposing with a literal onion ring, though.

Who is the best man/men? - You know, I could say “Simon”, but actually I think Nathan would just want to elope and not have a formal wedding. He’s not against it, but like... it just makes sense for him to question why they have to be so formal about it. (And LBR he doesn’t have many friends so it’s not like he’d have many people to invite anyway.)

Who is the braid’s maid(s)? - That’d be up to Nova. I imagine Jenna could be one, and I’m sure Kelly and Alisha could be convinced if asked. But, again, I think Nathan would push for just getting married straight away if they’re going to get married.

Who did the most planning? - Nova.

Who stressed the most? - Probably Nova. Nathan would stress more if they didn’t have a speedy, let’s-get-married-immediately-after-proposing wedding because he’d have too much time to think about it.

How fancy was the ceremony? - Back of a pickup truck | 2 | 3 | 4 | Normal Church Wedding | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Kate and William wish they were this big.

Who was specifically not invited to the wedding? - Nathan wouldn’t want to invite Mike or Jeremy tbh but... IDK he’d probably send Mike an invitation anyway to rub this one highlight of success in his face, and then he’d just let Jeremy come since he’d certainly invite Louise.

Sex:

Who is on top? - Nova. Nathan doesn’t mind though. He enjoys the view.

Who is the one to instigate things? - Most often Nathan.

How healthy is their sex life? - Barely touch themselves let alone each other | 2 | 3 | 4 | Once a couple weeks, nothing overboard | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 (it’s only not higher because Nova isn’t always as in the mood as Nathan is; if Nathan had his way, they’d have sex every day) | They are humping each other on the couch right now

How kinky are they? - Straight missionary with the lights off | 2 | 3?? (IDK how kinky Nova is... Nathan is certainly willing to try most anything, though) | 4 | Might try some butt stuff and toys | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Don’t go into the sex dungeon without a horse’s head

How long do they normally last? - LOL we both know Nathan has some issues when it comes to stamina so how long he lasts varies. I think they’d both reach orgasm fairly quickly, though, since Nova’s power makes her hypersensitive.

Do they make sure each person gets an equal amount of orgasms? - I think they would try. If Nathan doesn’t manage to make Nova cum, he’ll try to make sure she does at least once, even if he’s already finished.

How rough are they in bed? - Softer than a butterfly on the back of a bunny | 2 | 3 (it probably would be rougher if Nathan was leading, but with Nova, I feel like she’s pretty gentle?) | 4 | The bed’s shaking and squeaking every time | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Their dirty talk is so vulgar it’d make Dwayne Johnson blush. Also, the wall’s so weak it could collapse the next time they do it.

How much cuddling/snuggling do they do? - No touching after sex | 2 | 3 | 4 | A little spooning at night, or on the couch, but not in public | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They snuggle and kiss more often than a teen couple on their fifth date to a pillow factory. (This is 100000% Nathan’s fault. He’s a cuddle monster.)

Children:

How many children will they have naturally? - Two

How many children will they adopt? - One? But not if they’ve already had two children. Nathan would be worried about two kids, three would be too many in his opinion.

Who gets stuck with the most diapers? - I dunno why, but I love the idea of Nathan getting stuck on changing duty most often.

Who is the stricter parent? - Nova.

Who stops the kid(s) from doing dangerous stunts after school? - N o v a.

Who remembers to pack the lunch(es)? - I like to think they take turns. For as many failings as Nathan might have as a father, I think he’d be surprisingly good at remembering stuff for his kids. Probably some overcompensation for Mike.

Who is the more loved parent? - Loved equally. Nova is the one they go to for advice, Nathan is the one they go to when they want something.

Who is more likely to attend the PTA meetings? - Both

Who cried the most at graduation? - Both, but... Nathan is more obvious and has the ugliest cry face.

Who is more likely to bail the child(ren) out of trouble with the law? - Nova. She’s probably bailing out the children and Nathan.

Cooking:

Who does the most cooking? - Nathan, by a hair, and only because he can make super simple dishes like macaroni or eggs without burning the house down. Most often they do takeout.

Who is the most picky in their food choice? - Nova? Her powers intensify flavors and I imagine some things that she used to like pre-Storm are just too strong now.

Who does the grocery shopping? - They take turns or go together.

How often do they bake desserts? - Rarely to never. They’re both terrible.

Are they more of a meat lover or a salad eater? - Despite most people thinking that Nathan is the sort to hate veggies, he actually doesn’t mind (most) of them. I think they probably would eat more salad in general, though, since it’s cheaper than meat.

Who is more likely to surprise the other(s) with an anniversary dinner? - Hm! Nathan?

Who is more likely to suggest going out? - Both.

Who is more likely to burn the house down accidently while cooking? - Nathan, but only by a very, very thin margin. He’s just chaotic and clumsy enough to make him more likely to catch something on fire.

Chores:

Who cleans the room? - Both.

Who is really against chores? - Neither, Nathan likes a clean space, he’s just lazy and might grumble a little about it.

Who cleans up after the pets? - Nathan. Picking up after Fido is gross, but it’s more gross when you have a superhuman sense of smell.

Who is more likely to sweep everything under the rug? - Nathan.

Who stresses the most when guests are coming over? - Nova. Nathan would only stresses if Mike or Louise visited.

Who found a dollar between the couch cushions while cleaning? - Nathan.

Misc:

Who takes the longer showers/baths? - Hmm... Nova.

Who takes the dog out for a walk? - Nathan probably enjoys it most.

How often do they decorate the room/house for the holidays? - They decorate for Halloween and Christmas every year. Nathan really only does so because Nova enjoys it, and, at Christmas, it gives him the excuse to hang mistletoe in every doorway.

What are their goals for the relationship? - Just... survive and be happy, I guess? Not screw it up? Love each other for as long as they can love each other? I don’t know about Nova, but Nathan wouldn’t think about long-term goals in a relationship. “Get her to like me” and “have sex for the first time” are about as deep as his goals run when he’s with someone lol

Who is most likely to sleep till noon? - Nathan.

Who plays the most pranks? - Nathan.

1-30 for Nova and Nathan (ilu ♥)

otp question meme

Who is the most affectionate?Nova.

Big spoon/Little spoon? Nathan/Nova usually. But if Nathan has a nightmare, or a bad day Nova’s not above being the big spoon. (She really likes it too.)

Most common argument? Hard to answer as they haven’t had an argument yet, but I could see them having a big huge row if Nathan was acting jealous while also claiming He doesn’t want anything serious.

Favorite non-sexual activity? Nova likes having meals with Nathan, and cuddling.

Who is most likely to carry the other? Nathan is more likely to try. I will leave it up to you if he is ever successful.

What is their favorite feature of their partner’s? Nova loves his curls! And his pretty green eyes.

What’s the first thing that changes when they realize they have feelings for the other?Nova allows him to touch her. Her powers make her highly aware if someone is close by, so anytime Nathan touched her, even in just a friendly way it was because Nova kind of liked him, and trusted him.

Nicknames? & if so, how did they originate?Nova calls Nathan “PrettyBoy” because he suggested she call him “handsome”.

Who worries the most? Oh definitely Nova. Between her (undiagnosed) anxiety, and the fact that Nathan is reckless without consequence because of his powers makes her worry.

Who remembers what the other one always orders at a restaurant?I don’t think they would go to a restaurant very often because Nova wouldn’t want Nathan to feel obligated to spend what little money he has on her. But she 100% knows his pizza order.

Who tops? In the sense of who is giving, Nathan obviously. In the sense of who is physically on top, Nova.

Who initiates kisses? They both do.

Who reaches for the other’s hand first? Nova.

Who kisses the hardest?Nathan.

Who wakes up first? this is a toss-up. Nathan probably definitely has to wake up early at the community center, but I feel like Nova probably doesn’t sleep for very long when she does.

Who wants to stay in bed just a little longer? Nova, even when Nathan is supposed to leave for community service she still begs him to stay for five more minutes.

Who says I love you first? Nathan would have to because Nova wouldn’t want to make him uncomfortable by saying it.

Who leaves little notes in the other’s one lunch? (Bonus: what does it usually say?) I could see Nova leaving little papers in Nathan’s lunch, but they’d probably be little doodles and not words.

Who tells their family/friends about their relationship first? Nova doesn’t really tell Jenna she finds out on her own that Nova and Nathan are sexually involved. I have no idea what Nathan would tell the other misfits about Nova.

What do their family/friends think of their relationship? Jenna does not approve.

Who is more likely to start dancing with the other? Probably Nathan

Who cooks more/who is better at cooking? Nathan probably. Neither of them are particularly good at cooking, but Nathan is ever so marginally better than Nova who will burn anything she touches.

Who comes up with cheesy pick up lines? Nathan

Who whispers inappropriate things in the other’s ear during inappropriate times? Nathan

Who needs more assurance? They both do. But at times it’s more obvious that Nova does.

What would be their theme song? there are too many songs for me to choose from!

Who would sing to their child back to sleep?

What do they do when they’re away from each other? They text each other, Nathan does his community service. Nova does chores around the apartment.

one headcanon about this OTP that breaks your heart Nathan not telling Nova how he feels.

one headcanon about this OTP that mends it Despite the fact that Nathan won’t say, Nova, knowing how he feels because of what exactly her powers do.

'Small-town boy': Nova Scotia's James Tupper gets big role on 'Big Little Lies'

TORONTO -- Nova Scotia native James Tupper says being among the group of A-list stars on HBO's hit "Big Little Lies" is the best thing that's happened to his career.

And he credits a fellow Canadian -- Quebec's Jean-Marc Vallee, who directs the show -- with giving him the opportunity.

Tupper plays the easygoing ex-husband to Reese Witherspoon's acerbic character in the darkly comedic murder mystery, which creator-writer David E. Kelley based on Liane Moriarty's bestselling novel.

Other cast members on the limited series include Nicole Kidman, Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern, Zoe Kravitz, Alexander Skarsgard and Adam Scott.

"I'll always be a small-town boy from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia," Tupper says from Los Angeles, noting his East Coast family is practically speechless over his success on the show.

"My aunts can't even speak to me -- I call them ... 'Hello? Jimmy, I can't believe it. I can't believe it.'

"But just to be in that group of names is obviously the best thing that's happened to my entire career. When you get up to that level, I call it the NBA level, like the top level -- everybody is very, very good at their job and very open about working with people. They want the thing to work and they're supportive and give it every reason to succeed."

The former star of "Men in Trees," "Revenge" and "Aftermath" says Vallee was his advocate from the beginning when he auditioned for the role of Nathan on "Big Little Lies," which follows the complicated lives of three mothers after a murder in the seaside town of Monterey, Calif.

"Jean-Marc is one of the most open and giving human beings and I feel like when I went in and auditioned for this, he was one of the really big reasons I got it," says Tupper, "because people in Hollywood tend to want to cast a big star or a big name and he was just like, 'No, you're perfect for this and this is exactly right for you and I want you to do it."'

Vallee's other directing credits include "Dallas Buyers Club," for which he got an editing Oscar nomination, and "Wild," which earned Witherspoon and Dern Oscar nominations.

"I'll tell you frankly, and I'm not exaggerating: he's one of the humblest, kindest, most intelligent people I have ever met," Tupper says of Vallee.

"One day this guy was there ... walking around set and I'm like, 'Hi, what's your name? ... What do you do on the film crew again?'

"And he's like, 'I met Jean-Marc at a dinner party about a week ago and I mentioned to him that I really want to become a director and he said, "Come on set and tail me for the week.""'

Tupper says Witherspoon slyly established the bitter chemistry between their characters, who share custody of their children -- before the cameras even started rolling.

"She was like, 'Hi, James,' she was very pejorative, a bit caustic," he says with a laugh.

"So we would get into the scenes and we'd do them and at the very end she opened up to me in this lovely way, because she's such a sweet and earnest and open person, and we ended up now having a friendship.

"But the whole time we were doing it I wasn't quite sure. I was like, 'Uh, hi, Reese."'

The show is making headlines for its realistic portrayal of domestic violence, based on a storyline involving the characters played by Kidman and Skarsgard.

"You get a chance to delve into the psychology and that's one of the things I'm probably proudest of," says Tupper.

"If you get to participate with a group of artists and make something that's really truthful, that's about the highest you can go, in my opinion. They don't skim the surface.... It's really gnarly."

The seventh and final instalment of "Big Little Lies" airs Sunday on HBO Canada and Tupper -- who would only reveal that he and Kravitz sing in the episode -- will be watching.

"It's the only time I've had a viewing party," he says. "Every Sunday a bunch of my friends come over and we order pizza and watch it."

The Interview:

(TW: short description of a panic attack included in the answer to question 10.)

So, tell me a little bit about growing up. What was your childhood like?

The first word that comes to her mind is: confusing.

People always used to ask her when she knew she was deaf- she would always shrug, pretending it wasn’t the stupidest question ever. Born deaf, Marisol had never known any different. When did you know you could hear, asshole?

Living in a world where she sees people’s mouthed moving, but not able to hear any of the sound coming out, or even knowing she should be hearing sound. Confusing was putting it mildly.

Of course, once her family had realized she wasn’t reaching critical milestones that young children should reach, like responding to sounds, they’d tried to help her. Hearing aids and lots of doctors appointments, but there was no use. Once when her oldest brother, Aaron, ran over their mailbox with his brand new car, she’d heard a soft crash, and then some scraping sounds. Things that hearing people seemed to find loud enough to cover their ears were small whines in hers, occasionally bangs, or crackling when third oldest brother, Jason, played his guitar with his amp all the way up.

So her father set every free moment to learning ASL and teaching her mother and three older brothers. By the time Marisol was seven, her whole family could sign to some degree, and it’s just one of the many things she’ll always be grateful to them for.

Marisol took a deep breath to steady her shaking hands before typing out one word on the computer in front of her.

Loving.

What about your relationship with your family?

With the previous question, it’d been avoidable. It was easy to write off her childhood as all about her hearing, or lack thereof. But once she and her family could really communicate, it started to occur to Marisol that despite their love for her, they really didn’t understand her. She always wrote it off as the hearing barrier, but as she got older and more comfortable with herself, she began noticing it wasn’t just hearing that came easier to the rest of her family.

Aaron was a football star, Eric a budding merit scholar, Jason a musical prodigy, and her two younger brothers, Nathan and Mitchell, had yet to find something they didn’t naturally exceed at.

Marisol, on the other hand, stayed up until dawn doing homework. She ran track, and trained even on weekends to beat her high school’s record for the fastest 100-yard dash… a title which was held by her father.

A lot to live up to in every aspect, but Marisol wasn’t a quitter. Her mother wanted her grades high, and her father wanted her perfect in every other aspect. No dating, no tight clothing, just her, her grades, and her running. Living up to her family’s standards was exhausting, but Marisol knew it would be worth it once they looked at her like they had looked at Aaron when he’d found out he’d gotten into the University of Alabama to play football for the Crimson Tide.

Things had only become harder when Marisol, the late bloomer she was, developed her Nova ability and became the first Nova in her family.

But still, she could feel the tears prickling in her eyes as she typed.

I love them. I miss them. We weren’t perfect, but we were happy.

Are you the only Nova in your family? Or were your parents Novas too? What about any siblings?

The answer came easier this time, but, so did the tears.

Yes, it’s just me.

Much like everything else in her life, Marisol had been alone in this battle, too. She was seventeen when it began really developing- as if being a Deaf teenager striving for perfection wasn’t hard enough.

What’s your ability like? Is it easy to control or harder? Do you even like it?

This time, Marisol laughed. A short, bitter chuckle, despite the fear that curled in her gut just remembering.

When she was seventeen, her vision had begun changing. At first it was like waking up with sleep-stuff in your eyes, and having to rub it away. Or when you stand up too fast and your eyes go fuzzy for a minute. That was it, but with colors. Bright pinks, blues, reds, just little hazes out of the corners of her eyes on occasion.

It happened increasingly, especially when she was around lots of people. In the grocery store with her mother, or at Aaron’s football games. Jason’s concerts were especially blurry (don’t even get her started on the fact that she was even dragged along to concerts despite the fact she can’t fucking hear) Green haze clouding her vision so intensely that she had to shut her eyes.

So, it was more doctor’s appointments, and pitying looks from her brothers, and her mother fussing over her. And the terrifying thought that perhaps she was going blind, too.

But that wasn’t it. In fact, it was almost the opposite.

People always told her that her being Deaf wasn’t a disadvantage, but rather something that gave her different advantaged than others. She always just related it to how she can have conversations across a room with ASL, or how her other senses were hightened.

Marisol vividly remembers sitting with Jason one day, him speaking to her while she practiced reading his lips, and a wave of yellow and red coming toward her from his mouth. It was more focused than the hazes usually was, and she reached out to it… and actually touched it. She could feel the excitement behind his words as he told her about the new song he was writing.

And that was how she figured out it wasn’t the loss of a sense, but the development of an ability. A new advantage.

It’s hard to control. The sound waves just sort of come at me a lot of the time. It can be overwhelming. But it’s also the closest I can get to hearing. To feeling as extrordinary as my brothers. I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

How would you describe your personality?

Of all questions, she hadn’t thought this would be the hard one.

It wasn’t until she was in the safety of Yalena’s Sanctuary, not too long before the raid, that she had the time to realize… she didn’t know who she was. Without the constant pressure of her family, or the constant fear of being caught as a fugitive… who had she become?

She’d been trying to figure this out when the Wardens came. She supposed she still had some thinking to do, but she typed what she was sure of to E.R.I.S.

Scared.

And she supposed…

Honest.

What do you think your greatest strengths and weaknesses are?

Marisol ran a hand through her hair. Who the hell did this barely-there bitch think she was, asking all these questions? Marisol owed her no answers. No one did. Hadn’t they been through enough?

Strengths and weaknesses? What a joke. All anyone ever cared about, even before E.R.I.S. was Marisol’s biggest strength and weakness.

Strength: her ability. Weakness: Deaf.

Even though she herself didn’t see her lack of hearing as a weakness at all. And sometimes her ability was more of a pain in the ass than a strength.

That was all she was to anyone.

But there were other things to her. There had to be. Like her ambition- that got her through high school on the honor roll and into a good university on a track scholarship. Her kindness, her perception and ability to analyze things, even before her Nova ability had surfaced.

There was also her anxiety, the constant fear, her analytical side never giving her a break and over-analyzing. The fact that, even though she was nice to everyone, she trusted no-one. Except for Riaan, she supposed.

Marisol merely shrugged.

Where and what were you doing the day the Nova Protection Act was enacted?

Just barely nineteen, Marisol had her last track meet the day the Nova Protection Act was put into action. She was racing and coming in second place when it was officially announced, and by the time she turned her phone back on in the locker room after the meet, there were hundreds of text messages from her brothers, and missed calls from her parents.

She could still see Jason’s text message.

“Nova Protection Act? Good thing you’ve been training to run your whole life, little sister.”

She pulled out of university and went home, and the Jimenez’s came up with a plan.

Into the computer she typed: Losing a track meet.

She wanted to add “along with my life”, but thought better of it.

Did you immediately run? Or did you try to obey the law and report to the Anti-Nova Force?

Marisol blinked at this. It hadn’t even occurred to her that there had been other Novas that might have actually turned themselves in. She felt sad for them.

If you were a Nova, would you turn yourself into something literally called the Anti-Nova Force? Sure the fuck not. I ran.

How have you survived this last year and a half or so? Did you have any help or were you all alone? How did you find Yalena’s Sanctuary?

Marisol shook her head. She really tried not to think about it.

I stayed with my brother for a while. But it got too dangerous, so I ran again once they started the Siege.

She remembered the look on Aaron’s face when she’d said goodbye. He hadn’t been awake. She’d packed her things in the night, written him a note, and kissed the sleeping dope’s forehead. She remembered how good he’d been to her for the month she was there, even letting her sleep in his bed, while his back cramped up on the couch. For the boy that had shoved her around most of their lives, he was turning into an okay man.

I mostly squatted in abandoned buildings. Never stayed anywhere too long. I was lucky, I had money from my family. So I wasn’t starving like some of the other Novas I ran into. I didn’t travel with anyone, too hard to do when you can’t easily communicate with them.

Marisol could still smell the pizza she’d bought and shared with a few younger Novas while she’d been on the run. They’d been so tattered, and looked so thin, she didn’t think twice before giving it to them, only taking a slice for herself for an excuse to get a few more minutes of human contact while she ate.

One of Yalena’s scouts found me. I was trying to buy a car, get around faster, get a warmer place to sleep. But life’s hard without a Biotag. That scout and Yalena saved my life.

What were you doing when the raid happened? How did you respond to the flood of Wardens? How quickly did you go through Yalena’s portal?

Marisol closed her eyes, taking a deep breath. Her hands were shaking worse than before, she knew that if she opened her eyes she’d be able to see the tiny soundwaves from her fingers chattering as they shook over the keyboard.

It was like she was there again.

She’d seen the soundwaves before it happened. She’d almost, almost, heard them kick the door down as they entered.

Marisol had been drawing when it had happened. Remembering soundwaves coming from Jason’s guitar, and drawing it from memory with broken crayons she’d found.

She saw people screaming. People fighting. Stood up to see what was going on, and watched as Yalena opened a portal, Wardens and Novas charging around her.

She’d frozen with panic. Yalena was yelling, everyone was yelling. Telling her to go through, she assumed. Or to move, so they could. She didn’t know for sure- she’d been too scared to read their lips. Too scared to do anything, even though she was barely a few steps from the portal- from safety.

Someone had pushed her through. Or pulled her. Or knocked her through by accident. She didn’t know which, or even who it had been. It was a blur of bodies and Wardens and lots and lots of black and brown and grey and red soundwaves. Feeling like her youngest brother, Mitchell, was sitting on her chest. Gasping for air. Knees buckling. Literally falling through the portal, landing face first in safety.

Opening her eyes, Marisol shrugged again.

What has living in The Imperium been like for you? Do you feel safer than before? Is it better or worse than on the run, or Yalena’s Sanctuary?

Marisol thought for a moment. Safer than before? Before when? Before she’d become a Nova? Absolutely not. Nothing was safer than that. Safer than before the NPA? Nope. She scrunched up her nose, looking E.R.I.S. over. She would have thought an AI to be far more specific with its incessant questioning.

Clearly you’ve never been on the run before.

She felt safe, safer than the Sanctuary. And she’d hated being on the run. But she missed Yalena. And she was terrified for all the Novas that hadn’t made it through the portal.

The last question. If war broke out between Novas and the humans, which side will you be on?

Marisol stood up, kicking her chair over. Manners be damned.

This time, no longer too anxious to use ASL, but instead too furious not to, she signed her answer.

Novas are humans.
