(—) ★ spotted!! ODESSA WILLIAMS on the cover of this week’s most recent tabloid! many say that the 24 year old looks like MADISON BAILEY, but i don’t really see it. while the ACTRESS / MODEL is known for being CONFIDENCE my inside sources say that they have a tendency to be IMPULSIVE i swear, every time i think of them, i hear the song GIRL ON FIRE BY ALICIA KEYS. - {she / her / cisfemale}

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀* 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐂𝐒 :

NAME : odessa brielle williams. AGE : twenty - four. NICKNAMES : essa, odey, ossie, & many more. DATE OF BIRTH : november 10th, 1998. ASTROLOICAL SIGN : sagittarius. PLACE OF BIRTH : clearwater, florida. PRONOUN(S) : she/her. GENDER : cis female. ORIENTATION : bisexual. RELATIONSHIP STATUS : single. OCCUPATION : surfer gone actress / model. ACTING CLAIM : zendaya coleman. POSITIVE TRAITS : charismatic, passionate, confident, creative, self-motivated, graceful, supportive, ambitious, artistic, open-minded, loyal, kind. NEGATIVE TRAITS : impulsive, stubborn, overthinker, guarded, moody, indecisive.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀* 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘, 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐞 :

¹. at precisely 2:30pm, on a tuesday afternoon come november 10th, odessa williams was born into the loving home of her parents — michael and laura williams; drama teacher and architect of coastal town clearwater, florida. from a young age, she was drawn to the ocean, captivated by the rhythmic crash of the waves and the vast expanse of the horizon. her childhood was filled with sandy beaches, salty air, and the thrill of riding the surf.

². growing up, odessa's family embraced the laid-back back lifestyle. her mother, a free-spirited woman with a love for adventure, fostered odessa's passion for surfing. she would wake up early to catch the sunrise with her mother, eagerly awaiting the perfect wave. the bond they shared on those early morning surf sessions would shape odessa's love for the sport and her unwavering connection to the ocean.

laura instilled the values of resilience and perseverance in odessa, teaching her that success comes from dedication and a willingness to push through challenges. this mindset served as a guiding force throughout odessa's life, propelling her forward even in the face of adversity.

³. however, tragedy struck when odessa's mother was diagnosed with cancer. the news shook their world, and odessa's focus shifted from the waves to supporting her mother during her illness. surfing became not only a source of joy but also a means of escape, allowing the female to momentarily forget the pain and uncertainty that loomed over her family.

⁴. as odessa matured, her talent on the surfboard blossomed. she dedicated countless hours to honing her skills, pushing herself to reach new heights and compete at the professional level. with each competition, she inched closer to her dream of turning her passion for surfing into a career. but fate had a different plan in store for the girl. during a critical competition, a devastating injury left her with a long road to recovery. the setback forced her to reassess her goals and find a new avenues for her talent and determination.

⁵. seeking a fresh start, odessa’s father, who had roots in los angeles, decided to pick up and move them back to his hometown. the change of scenery brought both excitement and apprehension for odessa. leaving behind the familiar beaches of clearwater was difficult, but she saw it as an opportunity to explore new possibilities and reinvent herself.

⁶. in la, odessa’s modeling career began to take shape. her unique look, a blend of natural beauty and effortless style, caught the attention of a local photographers and designers. she embraced the world of fashion, using it as a creative outlet while nurturing her love for the performing arts.

while modeling allowed her to express herself in front of the camera, odessa longed for a deeper connection with storytelling. fuelled by her childhood love for the performing arts, she enrolled in acting classes and immersed herself in the craft. though auditions and hard work, she began to gain recognition for her talent and versatility.

odessa’s breakthrough came when she landed the role of rue bennett in the hit hbo series, euphoria. the role showcased her ability to embody complex characters and deliver emotionally charged performances. critics praised her for her authenticity and depth, catapulting her into the spotlight and opening doors to new opportunities in the industry.

as her acting career flourishes, odessa remains grateful for the support of her loved ones and the lessons learned from her surfing background. she carries the spirit of the ocean with her, a constant reminder of her strength and resilience in the face of adversity.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀* 𝐂𝐎𝐍. . . 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐭𝐰𝐨 :

⁷. however, beneath odessa’s seemingly charmed life lies a deeply buried secret that haunts her. as a child, she witnessed a traumatic event that continues to cast a dark shadow over her present-day existence. the memory of that fateful night lingers in her subconscious, manifesting as vivid nightmares and triggering bouts of anxiety. she carries the weight of this secret alone, struggling to reconcile her past with her present and often grappling with feelings of guilt and shame.

this dark incident has left odessa with a deep-seated fear of vulnerability and a tendency to keep people at arm’s length, afraid that her secret could be exposed and the fragile world she has built would crumble. she battles with trust issues, fearing abandonment. despite her desire for connection and intimacy, she often finds herself trapped in a self-imposed isolation, protecting herself from potential pain and rejection.

⁸. nevertheless, odessa’s inner strength and determination propel her forward. she actively seeks therapy and engages in self-reflection, but often finds another source of outlet in all the wrong places.

is she taking the role of rue a little too seriously? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ i guess we’ll find out.

more comin' soon!

CHARACTER INFORMATION

face claim: Madison Bailey

full name: Lilah Marie Martinez

nickname(s) / goes by: Lilah

pronouns & gender: She/her & Cis woman

sexuality: Pansexual

birth date: December 26, 1999.

birth place: Boston, Massachusetts

arrival to merrock: 2005.

housing: downtown

occupation: Server

work place: The Garden

family: Brian (npc, older brother)

relationship status: Single

PERSONALITY

a very spirited girl with a heart full of adventure and a soul full of laughter. however, lilah is as introverted as she is an extrovert, and it becomes a constant battle trying to balance a social life and fight the urge to remain in a burrito blanket in her bed. she's passionate about a lot of things but especially nature and traveling. she is in every definition a girl's girl to the very end.

WRITTEN BY: Sammie (she/her), cst.

BACKGROUND / BIO

triggering / sensitive content warning: disappearance, death, parental death

Growing up Lilah didn't know who her parents really was, just what they looked like, because they ended up disappearing when Lilah was six years old. She grew up in the foster care system for a number of years before being adopted into the Martinez household. The disappearance of her parents was never solved, and the case has always stayed in the back of Lilah's mind. It's the reason the girl one day hopes to become a detective, and why she's so into true crime. Despite this mystery and growing up in the foster care system for a little bit, Lilah always had a smile on her face and a small pep in her step. She viewed the world as one giant wonder and she wanted to experience everything it had to offer.

Her family made the move to Merrock, Main when she 10 years old. During her duration of going to school Lilah didn't find it hard to make friends, she was very social, but she struggled with keeping up with a social life outside of school because for the most part the girl wanted to be watching, or reading, something involving unsolved mysteries and how people were working on solving them. But when she did go out, she lived life to the fullest. She eventually landed a spot on the cheerleading squad which helped her become more involved with friends, school, activities, and less involved with reading unsolved cases online.

She had always had a dream of becoming a detective one day, to solve the mystery of her parents, but life had its funny ways of maneuvering things around and she did not end up going straight to college after graduating high school. Instead, she took a small break from school to focus on doing other things like a bit of traveling, some hobbies, and eventually landed her job ss a server at The Garden. The idea to go back to school is still there, and one she hopes to do so, but at the moment she's content living in the moment instead of focusing her entire energy on the past.

Jot Like a Founding Father: Mastering the Art of Political Moderation

Ahoy there, dear reader! Today, we shall embark on a journey to uncover the secrets of political moderation, as if we were none other than the venerable Founding Fathers of the United States. Picture yourself donning a powdered wig and a three-point hat, as we delve into the art of jotting with unparalleled impartiality. Now, my compatriots, let us commence with the first commandment of the politically moderate jotter: 'Thou shalt seek the elusive middle ground.' The Founding Fathers were experts in avoiding the extremes that often lead to discord and disillusionment. They championed compromise and consensus, recognizing that our nation's strength lay in unity rather than division. Next, we raise our quills to a crucial principle: 'Thou shalt weigh the scales of reason and evidence.' In a world overrun by echo chambers and rigid ideologies, we must channel our inner Jeffersons and Madisons, pursuing knowledge with a discerning eye and an open mind. Let us not be swayed by empty rhetoric or unwarranted certainty. Furthermore, as 21st-century moderates, it is essential that we master the art of respectful dialogue. Remember, dear readers, 'Thou shalt listen intently and speak thoughtfully.' The Founding Fathers engaged in keen debates, valuing exchange of ideas as a means to refine their own understanding. Let us follow in their footsteps, fostering conversations with civility and empathy. To be truly politically moderate, my friends, it is imperative that we rise above the cacophony of partisan bickering. Let us revere the Constitution as our lodestar, adopting its essence of compromise and balance. In the spirit of these distinguished visionaries, we can find common ground and make our voices resonate in unison, transcending ideological divides. As we conclude our journey, remember that the path of political moderation is not a matter of passivity, but rather the pursuit of enlightened equilibrium. Let us strive to be the descendants of moderation, embracing the inheritance left to us by the Founding Fathers. The world may change, but the wisdom of balancing competing interests remains eternal. So, my fellow jotter, go forth and let your quill dance with the grace of moderation!

My media this week (26 Sep-2 Oct 2021)

📚 STUFF I READ 📚

🙂 👂 Your Cruelly, Elvira (Cassandra Petersen, author & narrator) - basically a tell-all memoir, mostly remembrance and not a ton of introspection but fairly entertaining. I certainly didn’t realize quite how wild CP’s life BEFORE Elvira was; becoming Elvira was when she SETTLED DOWN. Respect that she was a self-admitted ‘starfucker’ in her wild 20s.

😍 Flowers in our Eyes series (cydonic) - 93K, Stucky, aka the house-flipper AU - reread of this lovely, fluffy story where Bucky flips houses and moves in next door to single-dad Steve. [main story is 88K, short sexy standalone epilogue is 5K)

🙂 Bookwyrm (KL Noone) - short story; the town witch protector goes to check out the big bad dragon who’s decided to settle there

😍 a soldier (who carries a mighty sword) (ghostinthelibrary) - 93K, The Witcher; Geralt/Eskel/Jaskier arranged marriage AU - love to see a polycule instead of a ‘love triangle’ + some nice political chicanery

🙂 Madison Square Murders (Momento Mori #1) (C.S. Poe) - still love a Poe mystery & characters and I’ll definitely be returning to Larkin & Doyle. I appreciate that she tried to mitigate having cop protags by having them be cold case & artist, respectively. Don’t love that she again used the ‘one MC’s relationship is bad and ending and this new love will make him realize it’ thing again. But both of those things didn’t outweigh all the rest of the stuff that I absolutely did greatly enjoy about this.

🙂 👂 A Psalm for the Wild-Built (Monk & Robot #1) (Becky Chambers, author; Emmett Grosland, narrator) - novella - no plot, just vibes and tea and some existential thinking on the meaning of existence.

😍 The Librarian!Bitty Fics series (marswithghosts) - 156K, Check Please! (107 main fic, zimbits; 48K, parse/omc) - I stayed up too late reading the main fic. It's solid characterizations & a good plot with just enough believable angst and then, of course, a happy ending. Mad respect to this author because I normally am not big on kent parson but here I was, totally invested in this iteration's emotional growth!

😍 Our House, In The Middle Of Our Street (Clocks) - 51K, Cherik - no powers AU - "Charles is a social worker who fosters troubled kids, and one day he meets Erik, an ex-convict, who reluctantly agrees to stay for only a while, but ends up staying for good and helping Charles to raise the kids. Awkward parenting ensues."

💖 +220K of shorter fic so shorter work shout out 💖

Love Runs Wild (DevilDoll) - Teen Wolf: Sterek, 9K - reread of one of the best TW fics out there, in the legendary Neckz ‘n Throats ‘verse.

Clover, and Other Beloved Weeds (chaya) - The Witcher: Geraskier, 26K & Moss on River Stones (chaya) - The Witcher: Geraskier, 9K - a collection of vignettes and a final chapter in the lovely & gentle Flora series

Mermaid AU

This is another Hazbin Hotel AU fic idea I’m giving away and this one is not as horrifying and graphic as you would expect. In fact it’s actually kind of sweet but hey there’s nothing wrong with a little sweetness once in awhile right? This was greatly inspired by films such 1984's Splash, 2007's Fish Tales, and 2018's the Little Mermaid. If anyone wants to write or draw this feel free to do it but please inform me if you do.

As a young boy Alastor is timid, shy, and has an extreme fear of water. While his mother loves and adores him, his father is ashamed of his son's skittish nature and emotionally and physically abused him to get him "To be brave."

One Summer when the family is vacationing at their beach house, they take a boat ride to sea and his father throws Alastor into the water to force him to learn to swim despite extreme protests from his wife. Alastor nearly drowns but is saved by a little girl who gives him a kiss which not only allows him to breathe underwater temporarily but forms a connection between them. However the two are separated when Alastor's mother pulls him out. Since no one else saw the girl, Alastor believes their encounter to be a near death hallucination.

Some time after this his mother becomes pregnant again and dies giving birth to a daughter. Alastor looks after his younger sister and protects her from their father's abuse until finally social services takes them out of his care. But rather than be separated from his sister through foster care, Alastor runs away with her and takes on the role of her guardian. But due to the abuse he becomes distant and refuses to form any relationship with anyone save for his younger sister.

Years pass, Alastor grows into a workaholic and anti-social young man with a job as a radio host who never dates or goes to any social events which concerns his pre-teen sister. When her school let's out for Summer break, she convinces Alastor to take a vacation or do something besides work every hour of everyday. He decides to take a Summer job at a radio station where their family's beach house is located.

They have to take a boat to get to the house but unfortunately Alastor accidentally falls off the boat and nearly drowns due to never having learned to swim because of his aquaphobia. However Alastor is rescued again, he doesn't understand how but his sister gets a glimpse of something underwater. Something with a fish tail and long blonde hair.

The next day a beautiful blonde woman named Charlotte "Charlie" comes to their house to return Alastor's wallet which he lost when he fell off the boat, claiming that she found it washed ashore on the beach. Both feel drawn to each other which confuses Alastor because he's never been attracted to any woman before. His sister notices this unspoken attraction and is suspicious of Charlie so she follows her to the beach one day and discovers that Charlie is in fact of mermaid. They befriend each other but Charlie swears the young girl to secrecy about what she is because she had recently escaped a circus which captured and imprisoned her. However Charlie cannot ever return home because years ago her father banished her for saving a human boy from drowning. Now she's all alone and has no where to go.

Alastor's sister correctly deduces that Charlie is the one who saved her brother when he was younger and gets the idea to set the two of them up together. Both Charlie and Alastor are against the idea but with help from their cleaning lady Niffty and one of their cranky neighbor's Husk, the two end up spending a lot time together. Despite Charlie's bubbly, outlandish behavior and Alastor's more aloof and distant personality, they bound over their shared passion for music and their difficult relationships with their fathers. Romance sparks between the radio host and the mermaid which eventually turns into a passionate love affair.

But trouble arises when Charlie's former captor Valentino comes to town with his circus and is desperate to recapture his biggest money maker. Even going as far as to brutally interrogate his other acts: Vaggie a fortune teller and Angel Dust an acrobat. Both loyal friends of Charlie who helped her escape and try to do everything they can to keep Valentino from finding her. Such as secretly visiting her at night by the cove to warn her about where Valentino is and how to best avoid him.

I thought this would be especially interesting because Charlie has a lot in common with media's most popular fictional mermaid characters. Like the original little mermaid character from the story but Hans Christian Anderson, she desires to reach heaven. Like Ariel in the Disney film she's gifted with a beautiful voice and has goals and a personality that differs from her family and species. And like Madison from Splash she's blonde, has a child-like innocence, a free spirit, and tries to see the good, beauty, and love in everything.

hello , hello ! i don't have too much to say here except that scout is a sweet & sassy lil surfer who will absolutely kick ur ass if u piss her off. i always write long as fuck intros so i’m gonna try to keep this short & sweet !

𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐒.

full name : scout olivia sutton

nickname : none.

age : twenty - two.

zodiac : aries.

occupation : travel blogger / influencer.

orientation : pansexual / panromantic - slight fem. preference.

languages spoken : english.

𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 / 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘. triggers include : death , abandonment.

sweet scout was born to young parents who weren’t ready to have a child. they were only 16 & didn’t think they could give her the life they wanted to. so , she was put up for adoption & bounced between a ton of foster homes. it took a while , but she was eventually adopted by an older couple who were never able to have children. she was already seven by the time she was adopted so she had a hard time adjusting.

however , her adoptive parents were big travelers and took little scout with them everywhere. she was homeschooled & spent her days reading & exploring new places with her family.

never really settled in one place & considered her home with her parents wherever they were. however , once place they always visited was her dads hometown , turquoise bay , south carolina. they went once or twice every single year & she loved it there.

death tw. so , fast forward a little bit & her dad gets sick and they have to settle down in turquoise when she’s about sixteen. he passes away & it really rocks her world. a little over two years later , her mom ends up passing too. they said it was old age mixed with losing her husband. so , scout was nineteen & suddenly on her own.

was left a trust fund by her parents that she didn’t know about that would basically support her comfortably for the rest of her life.

but ! she had started a website that she was running with her mom for when they travelled , so she took that over and started to get a following on instagram.

so she now runs a travel blog & is an influencer on instagram , she’s not super big yet but she’s getting there.

has been feeling a little lost lately and just got back to the bay within the last week.

has always loved photography & has taken pictures everywhere she’s been. has sim cards full of pictures.

is absolutely in love with the beach !! loves to go anywhere she can swim or surf.

has a lot of weird / odd talents.

absolutely terrified of settling down & commitment. spent her whole life on the move and is just so scared of anything permanent.

loves to surf , loves the beach , definitely big on taking care of sea life. knows all the ins and outs of the bay.

generally a pretty sweet girl , can be a little sassy & outspoken.

super trustwothy !!!

that’s all for now folks.

𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒.

her best friend that’s a local who she can’t wait to see every year / lucien.

maybe someone she kinda ‘dated’ over any summer she visited but she wouldn’t say it was serious and then went bye bye back to traveling.

someone who’s family knew her family or her dad.

someone that supported her while she was in t.bay for a few months when her dad was sick. kirby.

anyone who’s a fan of her travel blog / work / insta.

anyone she met while she travelled !!! she’s been Everywhere

fwb ?? something completely not serious

honestly just anything
