Some women with noses that would put birds of prey to shame are perfectly content with their appearance, while others with perfectly acceptable features are convinced they are more hideous than Frankenstein. Self-image – it can make people do strange things.

Hears some of my Veronica's headcanon's cuz why not 💤
She is a BIG space nerd like she would have her whole room covered in space teamed stuff
She's scared of the dark
She have a little 3 week's old kitten named JFKSS short for "Jonathan F Kenny Space-cat Sawyer"
Veronica is that one time cat-mom as she would call JFKSS 'son'
Veronica is 5'4
She have curly hair but she would straight it up because she doesn't like her curl's
She have's one blue eye and one brown eye
She does wear glasses but at school she wears contact's even though she hates them
She is 16 as she is the youngest from all the Heathers
She likes drawing as she would draw plants or stars on her arm during boring classes
Her favorite school subject is art class because she can express herself through art
She is a big ball of anxiety
She likes singing at her guitar
She cooks very good
She's Italian and she doesn't understand any french ((which that is what Chandler is))
She barley knows how to drive
She wears braces
She met Betty first in first grade as in kindergarten she was alone
Veronica and Betty have a secret fake language
Veronica panicks a LOT
She hates broccoli more than anything else on the earth
She can't take hints at all like Chandler can come up to her and literally say "I love you" and Veronica would think that it's like a best friend love even though Veronica haves a small crush on Chandler
She's mostly very stressed at school for no reason
Veronica would try to rizz with the Heathers by using stupid Beverly hills lines
Veronica almost broke Chandler's car onetime
Now ChanSaw headcanon's 💤
Veronica would most probably ((definitely)) steal Chandler's hoodie's
She would be extremely anxious about meeting Chandler's parents even though they're almost never home
Veronica is always very happy to see Chandler's guinea pig Sprite because he's an adorable little guy
Veronica tries her best to make a good impression to Chandler's 5 year old sister Mackenzie
If Chandler and Veronica would have a daughter they would probably name her Riley Sophie because Veronica loves the name Riley and Chandler loves the name Sophie

The Gloaming
An Outlander/Jane Eyre crossover fic
Chapter 1: Alone
Aged three and twenty James Fraser had nothing more than a second-hand suit and an old leather satchel to his name. In contrast to his current state, James’ upbringing was initially one of wealth and prosperity. Nestled in the heather-covered hills of the Scottish Highlands, the Frasers lived on their farm estate, Lallybroch. It was here, on a crisp Spring morning in the year 1821 that James - Jamie to his family - was born. His first few years of life were full of joy; a spirited child with a crop of auburn curls, he was doted on by his loving parents. Spending his days riding his horse and swimming in the stream, he wanted for nothing. Unfortunately at the tender age of eight, tragedy struck; his mother died of scarlet fever, his heartbroken father following mere weeks later. Jamie, now an orphan with no close family nearby, was all alone in the world.
According to the terms of his father’s will, Jamie was to live with his Uncle Dougal and his family in Edinburgh. When he came of age he would then return to the Highlands, taking his rightful place running Lallybroch. Dougal Mackenzie, however, was a greedy man and informed the lawyer managing the Fraser estate that Jamie had died of the fever too, thereby stealing the property for himself and leaving his young nephew with nothing. The worst part of it was that the boy knew nothing of the scheme, only that his beloved home was being taken over by new owners. His Uncle in possession of Lallybroch, Jamie was sent to a workhouse and soon happy days on the family farm were only a memory.
The years that followed were especially tough; fourteen-hour days spent chopping wood and crushing stones. Food was scant, water for washing - when there was any - ice cold. The overseer took a particular dislike to Jamie, frequently caning the child for the merest infraction. Jamie suffered terribly, pining for his parents as well as the fresh clean air of the countryside. He dreamed of the day he would escape the city and be surrounded by rolling green hills once more.
It was quite by chance that Jamie was finally able to leave the workhouse behind. After ten years he’d grown from a gangly youth to a strapping 6’4”; not as well built as he would have been on a proper diet but a man of strength nevertheless. One day he was driving the cart of chopped wood from the workhouse to a local blacksmith when the horse threw a shoe and reared back. Having known the way of horses practically since birth, Jamie brought the animal under control, saving both the cart and its load. The blacksmith - himself quite afraid of horses - was impressed.
“Lad, I’m expanding my business and looking for a farrier. Think ye might be interested?”
It was the first piece of good news Jamie had received since his parents died and he agreed immediately. For the next five years the young Scot learned his trade; making and fitting horseshoes as he cared for horses hoofs for miles around. Although much better than the workhouse, it was still a hard life; early starts and long days for very little pay. Still, Jamie was able to be around horses again which brought some comfort.
Fate however, was not on Jamie’s side. One chill winter’s morning the blacksmith complained of feeling poorly and by that evening he was dead; leaving the Jamie all alone once again. He hadn’t enough money to take on the business himself, so the shop was closed and he was turned out onto the street. With the little money Jamie had saved, he rented a small room above a pub; his funds stretching just enough to allow a roof over his head for one month, afterwhich he’d be homeless. Desperate to not have to return to the workhouse, Jamie was willing to do just about anything so long as it was honest work. With no money or connections to help him, his prospects were slim and helplessness threatened to descend. Finally Jamie hit upon an idea and with his last few pennies he placed an advertisement in The Times.
Young man seeking situation - skills as farrier, care of horses and in manual labour. Willing to work for accommodation.
Initial hope began to fade as the weeks ticked by with no responses. Not for the first time, Jamie wished his Da was still alive to guide him through troubled times. Or his Mam there to offer a comforting hug. Having no one to love him or for him to love in return brought a coldness Jamie worried he’d never escape. Three days before he was due to lose his bed, he received a reply.
Dear Mr Fraser,
We are in need of a riding instructor for the young Master of our estate. Room and board included, the salary offered is £50 per annum. Assistance with the management of the stables would also be required. If you are willing to accept our terms please reply via return post.
Yours sincerely,
Joseph Abernathy,
Wolverton Hall, Shetland.
Beaming at this good fortune, Jamie immediately dipped the quill into the ink pot to write and accept Mr Abernathy’s offer. Such was his excitement that his shaking hands spilled the black liquid across the parchment and he had to start over, but it mattered not. Packing his meagre possessions into his satchel Jamie began the journey northward and toward a meeting that would change his life forever.
