I'm Soo curious to how you interpret Moran through the lens of his relationship with his mother? Like. We all have an idea of Augustus (..All my homies hate Augustus Moran) but fewer people talk on Moran's mother and I want Your opinion ? 💙 -B
I think I have referred to her in a few of my stories but essentially I believe that his mother was as much of a key influence on him as his father was, or maybe an even bigger influence. I think she is the one who encouraged him and nurtured his talents and tried to guide him to be a good person and she is the main reason that whatever he does and whatever he is capable of doing, he's still got his own sense of what is right and wrong and he still has lines he won't cross. But I also think unfortunately she died when he was a child so the loss of her has also influenced him too and caused him to 'go off the rails' slightly and engage in far more 'bad' behaviour but he's still retained a lot of what she taught him, both in terms of his sense of morality and him still being interested in things she taught him (in one of my stories it's playing the piano, I think she taught him to play the piano and he can still play it now. In the modern day AU novel I'm working on it's also her that gave him his love of horses and taught him to ride when he was a child). Also her death I think has affected him and made him even more repressed about a lot of his feelings and emotions, even in the modern day. I don't think he was ever allowed to properly grieve for her - he comes from an era or a class (or both) that basically expects him to maintain a 'stiff upper lip' and 'be a man' and not cry, not be overly emotional, yet he was devastated about losing his mother but he had to basically shove all that grief down inside him, and it has messed him up.
I do think it varies a bit depending on whether it's the Victorian era or the modern day because in the Victorian era she was probably much more pushed into a loveless marriage and trapped in that and little Sebastian was probably shaped a lot by the things he witnessed of that relationship, where his mother did have very little in the way of legal protection and no real way to escape the marriage. In the modern day with the changing position of women in more recent times then she was probably more likely to have genuinely loved Augustus once and I don't think he would really get away with treating her as badly as he may have done in the Victorian era but it was still not really ever a happy marriage and I think that is still one reason why Sebastian does hate and resent Augustus because he may not have been as physically abusive as the Victorian incarnation may have been but to Sebastian's eyes Augustus still betrayed his mother and he was still emotionally cruel towards her at the very least.
I also think his affection and respect for his mother has shaped Moran's overall attitude towards women and is probably a reason why he often tends to be friendly and even actually friends with women even when that's not really considered 'normal', especially in Victorian society (which was very homosocial) but also to some degree in the modern day too. I think Moran is bisexual and he has a high sex drive and he's had sex with plenty of women but he does see women as people not as sex objects and much of that does come from his regard for his mother. I do tend to have Moran being close friends with Kitty Winter and I see his willingness to be friends with her, a woman who is either going to be essentially viewed as a 'fallen woman' in the Victorian era or is pretty obviously a sex worker in the modern day, having a lot to do with his mother and her influence on him.
His mother is probably also a reason why even though Moran can be a very cynical person and in his younger days probably he scoffed at the idea of ever falling in love and wanting to settle down with someone and even though he saw his parents in a very unhappy marriage, he still believes in love and is capable of expressing his love (even if it's not always verbally) and still wants to be in a loving relationship with Moriarty, because he knows his mother did love him very much.

The Wickham Family Album: Volume VII
Tumblr media
No matter what their Aspiration, almost all my elders seem enchanted with their grandchildren, and even arch-hedonist George Wickham is no exception. (I’ve never before got as far as my Sims having grandchildren, so I think it’s all rather lovely.)
Tumblr media
Augustus is getting to be a big boy now!
Tumblr media
I’m not sure which parent he takes after more - perhaps Selina?
~ Aries 6 / 10 / 3 / 4 / 2
~ Devious / Vehicle Enthusiast
~ OTH: Music & Dance
Tumblr media
He’s also a big hit with grandma Kitty.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In their student days, Simon once refused Selina’s offer of marriage, but what greater commitment could there be than having a child together? So, Selina decides the time is right to propose once more.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And this time, Simon decides to take the plunge!
Tumblr media
Selina rounds off the moment with a impromptu serenade, while Kitty entertains the little attention-seeker that is their son.
Tumblr media
Sleep soundly, little Augustus...
Tumblr media
you’re soon going to have to learn to share the attention with a younger brother or sister.

Saturnalia Morn
Tumblr media
Media The Last Legion
Character Romulus Augustus
Couple Romulus X Reader
Rating Sweet
Fictional Advent Day Three
I woke as usual in a bed of fine silk and cotton sheets, a fur blanket over the top of the covers to hide the cold, I slowly opened my eyes to see the sweet room on our little villa high in the northern mountains, the view out the window of the curtains lightly billowing, the snow graced on the mountain stone, and having dusted the sweet villa like sugar on a cake. I yawned a little doing my best to wake myself up given the cold of the day. When an arm wrapped tightly around my waist and kisses began on my neck. "Ummm Good Morning Romulus," I greeted with a smile, "Good Morning my empress." He cooed, "It's a chilly saturnalia this year," "It is a little, I'm sure you can keep me warm," I smiled, "Ohh I'd be happy too my empress" he smirked, as he pulled me into his chest so we could share some sweet little kisses "Mama! Papa!" Two little voices rushed through the villa's halls and the two little golden-haired kids jumped into the bed with us in their nighties "Good morning little ones" I giggled "It's Saturnalia!" They both giggled "Of course, go on get down to the baths and we'll go from there" Romulus told them so they happily ran off "Come along then" He smiled climbing out of bed and helping me up with him I gave him a kiss and we headed down to the hot spring baths the kids of course plaid in the warm water and they happily had their washes, and we sat in a hot spring together having a nice little cuddle and a few kisses. Once Everyone was lovely and clean from the baths we all dressed for the day and sat in the main hall of our villa, the children sat and happily opened their little gifts, Marcella got some new little peg dolls, a new dress for the spring and a sweet new comb for her hair, Petrov got a new ball, some new clothes and a new book to read. Romulus got some new books, new clothes and a fresh new hunting knife, And I had some new clothes, a new comb and some sweet perfume. "Come on along kids, we need to get up to the festivities if you want to go see the sacrifice at the temple," I told them, "Yes, mama!" They both smiled "Ahh actually we have one more present to open" Romulus spoke up "A very special present" He smiled rushing off out of the room "What's the special present mama?" Petrov asked "I don't know it's a surprise for me too" I smiled until Romulus returned and in his hand was a beautiful little black kitten "Kitty!" The kids yelled excitedly going over "A kitten?" "I thought it would be nice" He shrugged "That's very sweet, now put little kitty in his new bed and we'll play with him when we get back" I told them "Come on then everyone, or we'll miss the sacrifice"

Hello fren :)
I wanted to ask what's your opinion on some popular psychonauts HCs? Are there any you'd like to talk about or some of your own you'd like to share?
Hmm popular Psychonauts HCs...
Okay so I know that a lot of the cast are headcanoned as queer and I'm totally fine with that. I really enjoy the different headcanons around that and seeing what kinds of interactions come from that. Even ones I don't believe in, like Genderfluid!Dion (I get more toxic masculinity vibes from him, Augustus, and Raz) and Transmasc!Lili. I've seen a few that I promptly disagree with, but I usually ignore the people who try to focus on that headcanon.
I'm a fan of the post that my mutual @sweetstwawbewwymilk created, which is Archetypes = what you need, Raz's Archetype = friend. Which I like to see people use that when making swap AU archetypes (Callisto and Raccoon!Lili my beloveds).
I love the idea of the adult friendships between Augustus, Dona, Truman, Milla, Sasha, and Hollis. They're like a clan of parents.
I really like the headcanons of Lili's links to her family being used in the past, particularly by Kitty and Franke cause they're older and Kitty is canonically manipulative. Mainly because not only does that flesh out the interaction she and Raz have at the lodge, but some campster interactions show other friendships...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Or the bittersweetness of "we still think of the good times with you, even if we used you."
Tumblr media
Context- this is the kid that hacked into Lili's profile and took pictures of her without permission. At the very least, Franke still cares about Lili and I CHERISH that information.
I see the headcanons about the counselor stuff being thankless and a lot of the art that's about like... the irritation with the campers. But I think Raz actually SIGNS UP to be a counselor regularly. Like, I think Coach Oleander is a permanent counselor (so he keeps the Coach title instead of being called Morceau), but I think when Coach is all tired from that, Raz steps up as the next perma-counselor. Raz also teaches "Mental Gymnastics" in his mind, and encourages kids to use all the tricks in their arsenal to get around certain areas. His mind does change a bit because of this, having a little training area that combines circus stuff as well as things like roof-top running missions in Raz's memory to be an obstacle course for the other kids to run through.
I like to think Lili's mom is actually very similar to Raz. I think that while Truman took to being the Grand Head a few years after Otto, Lili's mom was ready to go on these fantastic world traveling adventures and fight people. I think she's the one who has the ability of pyrokinesis as her specialty, and she was all for Truman bringing psychics to fight bad guys.
I think Psychonauts takes place in the "futuristic" 2000s. You know, like those vibes that Back to the Future 2 gives with traveling forwards in time to 2012 that also has a lot of the similar culture of the time it was written. Some time where science stuff took advantage of how fast psychics could work and thus got further than today's world while still having things like: "have you heard of the new GameBoy Advanced? So cool."
I think that psychics actually get stronger the further down the line they come from. So Augustus is pretty strong (able to astral project without a Psi-portal, bash his psychic abilities against Raz's defenses, and psi-blast) and has a few abilities he can't really learn (tries to learn pyrokinesis, but I think he has that mental block + affinity for water). This is also true for Truman and Lili.
All of the Zanotto family have an affinity for music. Bob had a recital that he needed to go to during a time his mother was in the garden... the Zanotto family music box... Helmut married into the family (Fullbear-Zanotto is his legal last name)... I think that Truman and Lili enjoy singing to their plants. Also I love the idea that Lili can sing both death metal (cause plants apparently grow best around death metal) and opera (slightly taught from Helmut's knowledge of singing, cause there's no way that PsychOdessey isn't an opera in my mind).
This is a crack headcanon that I don't really believe, but I want to write: Lili has a synesthesia where she can taste emotions. Love tastes like citrus soda. Sadness tastes like sashimi. Irritation tastes like spicy chicken nuggets.

drag him here if you must. that had been their exact words. they hadn't been entirely sure what to make of william, not really sure what to think of any of the scottish brood, quite honestly. not very sociable, were they? and though they'd held their tongue around their parents, they'd kept it no real secret this betrothal sat uneasily with them, and only worsened as kitty lamented how impossible he was to deal with. they're quite aware that, as far as betrothals go, theirs to eawyn had been lucky, and it made sense kitty might hope for something similar. and the more she complained, and the more they, ah, perhaps got a bit nosey about the situation, the more...familiar this felt.
but, sure enough, the prince seemed to have all but locked himself in his chambers for the last month, and augustus was past the point of waiting on him. they needed to speak to him, sooner rather than later, as if they were correct --which by now they were almost certain they were-- they were a much better voice to hear on this matter than kitty was. and so they'd...less than politely requested he be brought to them. whether he walked in of his own accord or was marched in like the child he was acting like, it made little difference to them.
when he finally does appear, of his own volition or because he's been told he has no choice they don't know and quite frankly they don't care, they don't get up to greet him. call it rude. call it acting in kind. "william." they do nod to him, though, motioning for him to sit. "i believe it's well past time the two of us have spoken. i will be the first concede my sister is not the most sympathetic ear. she understands these things are complicated, but the extent these can complicate for...us, is something beyond her."

do you have a favorite pn character? a least favorite? a character you're indifferent to? a character you hate?
I'll split them by game. I'll put it in an easy to read way then add details in the read more.
Psychonauts 1: Fave:
Camper: Pheobe (and Kitty)
Counselor: Oleander
Patient: Boyd (and Bonita though she isn't really a patient)
Enemy: G-men (and Rainbow Squirts)
Least Fave:
Camper: Nils
Counselor: Sasha
Patient: Edgar
Enemy: Personal Demons
Indifferent: (kinda like least fave but
Camper: Most of them honestly.
Counselor: Sasha
Patient: Loboto (idk, I do like him but if I had to chose)
Enemy: Jasper
Hate: (I don't hate a lot of character)
Camper: None
Counselor: None
Patient: None
Enemy: El Odio/Bunny Demon (I hate them equally)
Psychonauts 2:
Fave:
Interns: Sam Boole (Lizzie is a close second though)
Agents: Hollis
Aquatos: Augustus
Psychic 7: Compton probably (I love them all so much, hard to choose an absolute fave)
Enemies: Maligula (girl boss)
Least Fave:
Interns: Would Raz count? Again, hard to choose. But either Raz or Morris
Agents: Sasha... again
Aquatos: Queepie (used to be Dion but people are changing my mind)
Psychic 7: Otto (only because we don't see his mind)
Enemies: Lili? Maybe
Indifferent:
Interns: Raz Agents: Milla Aquatos: Donatella (kinda) Psychic 7: None, I have opinions on all of them Enemies: Gristol
Hated: (I do not hate really anyone in this game at all)
Interns: Norma (in a love to hate kind of way) Agents: Don't really hate any of them Aquatos: Used to be Dion, not I like him Psychic 7: None Enemies: Enabler (kinda)
Psychonauts 1: I would say my favorite character is either Boyd Cooper, Bonita Soleil, or Kitty Bubai. I love Bonita and Kitty's designs a lot! And Boyd had one of the most fun and interesting world's/minds that it just boosts him up.
Oh! I also really like Phoebe Love because I can see her having a lot of potential for interesting stories. Especially with her fight against her pyrokinesis. She also just has a nice design.
I don't know really about least favorite (for either game), and I am pretty indifferent to most of the other characters of the first game. At least the Whispering Rock campers and honestly the counselors. I liked the asylum patients a lot though!
For hated character... I don't know if this counts since they are enemies and not characters, but I fucking hate that Bull in Edgar's mind! It is SO annoying. That or the goddamn confusion rats! Oooooh I hated those things so much. But for characters I did not really hate anyone. (also those demon meat bunnies were annoying but only because I was trying to collect all the figures the first time around and kept getting little Oly killed, whoops).
I think I thought of a least favorite character! It would be Sasha Nein. I'm sorry but he was just not that fun level-wise. Plus Milla, Ford, and Oleander were more fun. I loved the asylum patients and was okay with most of the campers, so yeah. I think Sasha is my least fave in the game. His theme song for his level though? That was a bop and the only one I remember other than Waterloo/Fred's mind because I just spent so much time in that level.
Psychonauts 2: My absolute fave is Sam Boole. Of course. This is Sam we are talking about! Though I also really love Lizzie just because of their design really. Their personality is also really good, but Sam's design and personality together beat Lizzie's great design and good personality.
Oh and you can't forget Bob and Helmut with their awesome designs! Or Maligula and her voice! Cassie also is lovely and has an awesome design. Literally all of the Psychic 7 are amazing and I love them all so much! Otto would be my only one I am not SUPER in love with and that's just because we don't get to see his mind, so technically least fave of the Psychic 7.
Least favorite? Hmm, probably Lili in all honesty. She does have some cool things going on with her, but I just never really cared all that much. I like a lot of fan interpretations of her though!
I actually don't think I'm all too indifferent to a lot of characters. I have a reaction to most of them in this game. Maybe Gristol. Like he is supposed to be the main reason for the story line, and I did like the reveal, but idk, I don't care for him. I guess technically Lili is also indifferent, though I do like fan her. Oh, also Truman. Like I literally forget he is a character all the time lol.
And I honestly don't think I HATE anyone in this game. Not even the enemies all that much. Yeah no, I looked through the list of characters and can't think of a single one I truly hate. MAYBE the enabler because it was annoying.

you mentioned Dion has a cat in the ghosts au?
Yes!! Her name is Persephone and she's a dumbass. Yes I know she's fictional but I love her anyway. MVP of the AU honestly /j
Anyway going to infodump about her because I have put too much thought into this fictional cat not to
Dion found her as a kitten on the side of the road when he was about 10-11ish. Augustus and Donatella originally weren't going to let him keep her—but somehow the kitten stowed away on the caravan (,,,with some light help from Dion) and ended up becoming a regular member of the family anyway. Frazie gets Sugarcube, so Dion can totally have a stupid little cat.
He names her Persephone because I am a nerd Dion truther and I think it's cute. Everyone else calls her Percy while Dion calls her Seph.
Persephone interacts with ghosts freely. She will cozy up with the ghosts that give her attention and she will hiss at ghosts that are mean. She lowkey protects the Aquatos from more malevolent spirits purely by existing; Dion jokes about her being a good luck charm for the family.
She has a bell on her collar! To make finding her easier even though she spends more than half her time cozying up with a family member or chilling in the caravan.
Persephone is lowkey based on my bestie's cats; she's an attention whore she's a dumbass she's 70% fur she will attack the fairy lights if they're not strung up quickly enough she will cry for attention and act like she's being hatecrimed if she does not get any.
Persephone likes to mirror the family by jumping onto them, walking across balance beams, investigating circus equipment she's seen hundreds of time before, and stealing juggling pins to drag around the campground. She has absolutely had to be locked in the caravan because she kept getting in the way of practice before.
Persephone helps out on performance nights! She doesn't actually perform; she's a greeter at the ticket booth and keeps Nona company. This works because cute kitty in a cute outfit (it's mostly just a fancy ruffled collar) delights the customers and Seph gets a lot of attention and scritches while she keeps Nona company.
Seph is terrified of clown horns. She has never figured them out and she never will.
Dion calls her a whore and freeloader but he loves her so much. Yes she pisses him off by being annoying but she's also his emotional support kitty. He can play up the unaffected surly teen act all he wants; every Aquato has caught him baby-talking Persephone more than once. Frazie likes to bring it up when Dion's being a bigger jerk than usual.
Gifts! She brings pinecones and dead or half-eaten leaves to Frazie. The pinecones fuel Frazie's cain instinct. Persephone will also leave little gifts in Dion's bedroll and it startles him every time he wakes up to a dead bug in his face. She brought him a mouse once and he screamed loud enough to wake the entire family up. Frazie & Queepie will never let him live that down.
She has stolen Dion and Frazie's hairties before. Dion has made it a habit to know all of her little hiding places for stolen items and to check them near daily. Chances are if something small goes missing, she's cached it somewhere in the caravan. She thinks she is so Helpful for doing this.
Persephone will occasionally headbonk Lazarus and Marona and demand attention from them. She and Lucrecia have a cute little rapport and hang out often; though she does occasionally try to play with clothes and fabric that Lucy's trying to fix. Her pleading eyes have no effect on Donatella. She headbonks Augustus' legs regularly. Dion is Her Person. Seph and Frazie have had small conversations via Frazie's zooleopathy. Persephone wandered around the camp mewling in upset confusion when Raz ran away. She loves when Mirtala brushes her (even if she spends half the time attacking the brush); they are Besties. She will gladly chase a stick that's wiggled in front of her and Queepie will play with her often.
Persephone may be a dumbass but she does know that if she goes to someone who is Upset chances are she'll get cuddles and scritches. Dion has also occasionally dumped her on Frazie or Raz when they're upset and he's not sure how to comfort them.
Dion and Persephone both have eyeshine. Frazie finds this hilarious. There is a photo of a 14 year old Dion holding Seph in the family album and the camera flash caught the eyeshine.

Can I request a soulmate au with anyone you see fit? I don’t mind I just love that sort of mushy stuff, CONGRATULATIONS ON TWO HUNDRED FOLLOWERS
Soulmates [Maxwell Lord x Reader]
Authors Note: you may recognise a quote in here from Dawson's Creek— if you spot it, I love you. it's something that has always resonated with me a lot. This was so fun to write. If you followed me on twitter the chances are you'll know all about Lady Lord and she does make a brief cameo in here :) I've found a new passion and that is writing domestic dad! Maxwell. Anyways, thank you for the amazing request, I hope you enjoy!!!
Warnings: angst but it's funny I swear— light hearted fluff and just a little ~sexual tension~ but nothing explicit.

Summer 1993
Maxwell tucked his daughter into bed and switched on the nightlight. "What book would you like me to read to you tonight?" Maxwell asked, pushing the reading glasses that were perched on his nose into a more comfortable place. He kneeled down, his back aching slightly with age, and flicked through the many children's book your child had the privilege of owning.
"Daddy?" your daughter asked, shuffling around slightly under her pink silk bedding. She reached over and grabbed her favourite teddy bear, nursing it in her arms.
"Yes princess?" Maxwell replied, pausing momentarily from looking through his daughters books and turning to face the little girl. Her eyes were big and sparkling, and they reminded Maxwell of your own eyes.
"What's a soulmate?" her voice was sweet like honey, innocence dripping from her tongue as she blinked her pretty eyes with curiosity.
Maxwell pondered for a moment, hesitation filling his gut. Maybe this would be a better conversation for you to have with her; he thought. Maxwell was never really good at explaining such topics, or talking about feelings. But, this was his daughter— and she was as pure as could be. He wanted her to know. He wished that his parents had told him of the concept long before he found out about it.
Maxwell straightened himself up and shuffled closer to his daughter. He wrapped an arm around her and pulled her into his chest. She shuffled her head slightly trying to get comfortable, but in the process, her hair got caught in the little clip of his suspenders. Maxwell carefully removed her hair and brushed it out of her face. He had never prepared himself for this conversation; so he was just going to do what you always encouraged him to do. Speak from his heart.
"It's uh... Well, it's like a best friend but more. It's the one person in the world that knows you better than anyone else. It's someone who makes you a better person. Actually, they don't make you a better person, you do that yourself - because they inspire you. A soulmate is someone who you carry with you forever. It's the one person who knew you and accepted you and believed in you before anyone else did, or when no one else would. And no matter what happens, you will always love them. Nothing can ever change that."
"So… mommy is your soulmate?" your daughter asked her father. Maxwell nodded, a small blush creeping on his cheeks. "Who is my soulmate?"
"I don't know princess, that's something you'll learn for yourself one day." Maxwell said, planting a gentle kiss into his daughter’s forehead. "Why did you ask such a question?"
Your daughter's mouth twisted into a proud smile that could only be comparable to one of Maxwell Lord. "Today, at school, Augustus held my hand during recess. And my friend, Katherina, told me that little Gussy might be my soulmate."
Maxwell furrowed his eyebrows. "Who's Augustus?" he frowned, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Augustus Emmeline the third!" Your daughter beamed.
"The third, huh?" Maxwell raised his eyebrow. "My little treasure, you tell daddy if he ever hurts you, okay?"
"Gussy would never hurt me." your daughter rolled her eyes, a small giggle escaping her lips.
Maxwell figured tonight wasn't the best time to explain the woes of heartbreak to his eight year old daughter, so he let her comment slide. He kissed her nose again and turned out her night light. "Get some sleep sweetheart, you have ballet and piano recitals tomorrow."
"Okay daddy, I love you." she shuffled to her side and clutched onto her teddy bear even harder, closing her eyes.
"I love you too." Maxwell smiled before leaving her bedroom.
You were in the kitchen, changing the cat litter, when your husband snuck up from behind you, wrapping his arms around your waist and kissing your neck. He rocked his hips into yours, swaying side to side like he was dancing with no music. "What you doing?" Maxwell sing-song’ed in your ear. You laughed, tearing yourself out of his grip.
"Sorting out Lady's litter," you grimaced, nodding your head towards the long haired white cat who was sitting by the back door, innocently staring at you and Max. 
"Thought I could smell something." Maxwell pinched the bridge of your nose and you gave him a roll of your eyes.
"Did she go to sleep okay?" You asked Maxwell, setting the cats litter tray back in place. Lady Lord, your white kitty, mewled a 'thank you' before scurrying off into the living room.
"Yes," Maxwell nodded. "She did, however, ask a strange question," you looked at your husband, prompting a further explanation. "She asked me what a soulmate was."
"She did?" you raised an eyebrow in inquiry, washing your hands in the sink and drying them with a soft towel. "What did you tell her?"
"You know," Maxwell shrugged. "Just spoke from my heart. Like you always tell me too."
You smiled, approaching your husband and tugging on the straps of his suspenders. "Good."
"It reminded me of when we found out we were soulmates." Maxwell smirked and you let out a sigh. "Do you remember?"
"Oh my goodness Max, how could I forget?"
Winter 1984
"I refuse to believe that this monster is my soulmate." you growled, eyeing up Maxwell Lord up and down feeling nothing but disdain for the smarmy businessman.
"Well baby, you better believe it." Maxwell rolled his dark brown eyes, a devilish smirk sprawled across his lips.
It irked you- it angered you. Every little thing he done annoyed you; and now this revelation? You were beginning to believe he was playing a sick prank on you— and he had Diana and Steve in on it as well. You couldn't understand why they'd share Maxwell's malicious intentions against you (or so you presumed they were malicious… everything that man did was suspect), but you wouldn't put it past Maxwell to manipulate them.
"It's true," Diana sighed, shrugging her shoulders casually. "Eros told me himself."
"Eros." you deadpanned, placing your hands on your hips and knotting your eyebrows together in unamusement. In the corner of your eye, you spotted Maxwell's smirk grow as your annoyance festered inside of you.
"Or more commonly known as Cupid," Captain Steve Trevor beamed, innocently spewing out his unwanted explanation.  "Eros is the winged God of Love. He shoots two people with his arrow and they become soulmates. They find each other and they fall in love." You studied Classics at university; of course you knew who Eros was.
"I know who he is!" You spat furiously and Steve raised his hands in defense. You felt your cheeks burn up with anger as the concept of Maxwell Lord being your soulmate dwelled upon you. You turned back to Diana, in hope that there had been some sort of misunderstanding. "Eros’ father is Ares, the God of War. Can we really trust him?"
"His mother is Aphrodite," Diana replied non-chalantely, failing to understand your point. "Besides, Eros is neither Ares nor Aphrodite. We need not to compare the winged God of Love to his parents."
"So, Eros just came and visited you, and told you that myself and the CEO of freaking Black Gold Cooperative are soulmates? There's no way." Before Diana could reply, Maxwell cleared his throat. Your head snapped to face him. "I don't want to hear a peep out of you." You pointed your finger, digging it hard into his chest. He swatted your hand away and straightened his posture under your glare.
"Actually, I found out from this." he brought out a peculiar, amber gem from the pocket of his suit jacket. "Eros just confirmed it."
"You found out from a pretty rock?" You folded your arms across your chest.
"It's a dreamstone-," Maxwell began to explain but you cut him off.
"I don't care." you scoffed, grinding your teeth together in white rage. You turned back to Diana.
"Listen," Diana said, her voice as sweet as honey. She raised her hand and placed it gently on your shoulder, meaning nothing but comfort. "Eros told me that every soulmate shares the same soulmark. Do you… do you have any marks on your body that could be—"
You processed her words, thinking long and hard. "I do, I have a mark on the inside of my thigh." You shuffled around uncomfortable.
"Can I see it?" Maxwell beamed, his chocolate eyes sparkling.
"Not unless you want a fucking lawsuit." You snapped back at him and you watched as his charming but smug smirk fell from his face. He rolled his eyes and took a step back from you. "Diana, is there another way we can make sure that we are soulmates?"
"We could kiss and see what happens?" Maxwell suggested and you clenched your fingers into a fist. Would this man ever learn to shut up.
"It's true, you could kiss and see if you feel anything." Diana pointed out and you pinched the bridge of your nose in annoyance. Maxwell howled with laughter while Steve just stood there, as confused as ever.
You sighed, holding your face in your hands before turning back to Maxwell. "Show me your soulmark."
"Show me yours." Maxwell charmed and you wanted to scream.
"No."
"Yes."
"With all due respect," Steve cleared his throat. "You two argue like an old married couple." He raised an eyebrow and nudged Diana. "Are they always like that?"
"Yes." Diana smirked.
"No we are not!" You and Maxwell yelled in unison.
Your head snapped towards Maxwell and he couldn't help but smile at the angry scowl playing on your lips and the crinkle in between your eyebrows.
"Diana and I are going to head out and get some coffee, do you two want anything?"
You and Maxwell were too busy bickering to hear Steve's polite offer. Pointing your fingers at each other, both of you demonstrating your power struggle as your voices slowly became more raised. Steve and Diana exchanged a look before realising they best be on their merry way.
"My office, now." Maxwell growled in frustration, grabbing your wrist and tugging you into his extravagant office. Usually his micro-agression would have earned him a punch in the arm and string of insults from you, but despite his firm grip on you, his hand slipped down your wrist and his finger interlocked with yours.
You would've pulled away from him. Gritting your teeth together, you could think of a thousand curses to scream at the slimy CEO but instead you were left feeling slightly dazed. There was a spark when his fingers graced the back of your hand. Like genuine electricity. And it had lit a fire in the pit of your stomach. He sat you down on the loveseat by his desk and ran his fingers through his hair.
"Did you feel that?" he asked and you frowned.
"Feel what?" you grumbled.
"That… that spark." Maxwell's hand fell to his hip as he stared at you, perplexed.
Yes, you had, and there was no denying it. Instead, you opted to avoid eye contact. He had his way with people— his charming business strategy. His charisma could make the whole world fall for him. But not you. You wouldn't fall for him.
"So stubborn," Maxwell huffed, as if he was reading your mind. He slipped into the loveseat and sat next to you, his dark eyes gleaming. "You think I wanted this? Of course I didn't. I don't have time for relationships." You scoffed, about to interrupt him but he raised a finger and continued. "I'm too busy. I'm better alone anyway. But we have something special. I hate to admit it, but you can't keep running away from the truth."
He was right. Fuck, he was right and you hated it. All this time you had been shutting out the truth. It was like destiny had brought you two together. You were the complete opposite of Maxwell Lord, but maybe Eros was right for shooting his arrow into you both. Maybe he done it for good reason. Maybe you and Maxwell completed each other.
"You're disgusting," your voice was merely just a croak. You couldn't give up. You had to keep fighting. "You built the foundations of your business on lies. You're a fraudster, a scammer, and you should be in jail." Your own words made your heart shatter.
Maxwell looked away from you, his eyes glossy. Your words stung. "You can hate me all you want, but we were chosen for each other. I don't understand it. I don't think I'll ever understand it. But this happened for a reason."
"How can you be sure?" you whispered.
Maxwell cleared his throat. "The dreamstone… and Eros and… everything Diana has told me. I hate to believe it, but I trust her. She knows better than anyone else." Maxwell shrugged. "And I've felt it. And I know you have too."
"We are literally rivals." Your voice was but a mere whisper.
Maxwell took a step closer to your breaking any distance. You swore you could feel his warm breath tickle against your neck as his words sent shivers down your spine. "Kiss me."
You looked up at his once chocolate brown eyes, now practically ebony and completely lust blown. He gently raised his hand to cup your cheek and swiped his thumb across your jaw. What had happened to you? You were succumbing to him. Because you knew, deep down, it was true. But you remembered Diana's words. A kiss would confirm it.
"I hate you Maxwell Lord." you shook your head before standing on your tippee-toes, matching his height. You tilted your head, the curve of his nose brushing against yours as you pressed your lips against his.
There it was. That same spark. The kiss was hypnotising. At first, you tried to escape the fact you were kissing Maxwell Lord, but as he slung his arm around your waist and pulled your hips into his, you figured you could maybe embrace it. 
You found your hands tugging amongst his dark blonde locks of hair. You always imagined his hair to be greasy, layered in many unnecessary products to keep it perfectly styled throughout the day. But it was soft and well conditioned. As you pulled gently on it he bit on your lower lip and caused a sweet moan to escape your lips. That only spurred him on more, as he dropped his hand and cupped the roundness of your ass.
Both of your hands were settled on his broad shoulders, and he grumbled a little when you pulled on the lapels of his suit jacket, encouraging him to deepen the kiss. The little noise he made sent vibrations straight through your core and on instinct, you pressed your body further into him. 
Maxwell glided his tongue over the plumpless of your lower lip, begging for entry, which of course you granted. You had kissed many people before but it had never felt as intoxicating as this. You couldn't stop. He was your poison, and you were addicted.
But why him. Why would Eros match you with a man like Maxwell Lord? He was cunning… manipulative…an amazing kisser. You pulled your away from him, detaching your lips from his with a pop sound and looked up into his nervous eyes.
"Did you feel anything?" his voice was hoarse and rasp, as if the kiss had took everything out of him.
You couldn't lie anymore. You couldn't kid yourself. You took a deep breath.
"Maxwell, I've felt something for you since the moment I started working here. All my life I've hated you. Your father and your shitty business stole from my family. But when I scored the job at the museum, and when I saw your speech in the main hall, I felt something inexplicably unique. Something I've never felt before. Seeing you stand there and witnessing your charm with my own two eyes ignited something primal within me. I needed you— more than I've ever needed anything before, and I cursed myself for it. You didn't know me, but I knew you. I knew of all the hurt you caused me, and my family, and many other families around the world. I knew of your greed and ruthless nature. And I tried so hard to hate you so bad."
"Everybody thinks they know me, but they don't. Everyone thinks they have me all figured out from my infomercials… or they judge me based on my parents. Let me tell you, I'm not my parents." Maxwell assured you and you offered him a small comforting smile. "I'm sorry Black Gold Cooperative hurt your family. I know it might not seem like it, but I'd never want to hurt anyone."
And for some reason, you believed him. You saw the kindness in his eyes. You knew he was genuine. You had gathered up so much hate for him over the years. So much anguish. You never thought you'd ever be able to forgive him.
"Eros put us together for a reason." you whispered and Maxwell tucked a piece of hair behind your ear.
"I think we can make this work." he told you, his voice quiet and of a deeply pleasant nature.
"Yeah, me too." you replied, your heart fluttering.
"So…. about that soulmark on the inside of your thigh."
"My lawyer is one of the best in the country Lord, don't try me." You winked before flicking your hair and leaving his office, the door slamming behind you.
This was going to be the start of something amazing.

Ranked: Mother of the Year (Choices) Main Characters
I can’t sleep so that means I need to make another list that I’m not going to proofread before I post, right? Of course it does. But before we start, please remember this is my opinion on who I liked best. Not who impacted the story the most, not who was the best written fictional character of all time, yada yada. This is my personal opinion of the characters I liked best.
Spoilers WILL be featured below. You have been warned.
#13 -- Tallulah Copeland
Tallulah is a parent to a child at Bernhardt Academy, a friend of Vanessa Blackwood, and an active member of the PTA. Hugo is her partner.
This woman. I would flat forget this woman existed until she would show up again just to wreak havoc on MC’s day, usually at someone else’s urging. Every single time she spoke, I just wanted it to be over and she is just an awful, AWFUL person. She’s also the only awful person in this book who never pretends to be nice and/or never apologizes for her actions. Just an all around nasty person.
#12 -- Hugo
Hugo is a parent of a child at Bernhardt Academy and an active member of the PTA. Tallulah is his significant other.
If you’re actually reading these little blurbs, you have to be wondering “MagnoliaPip? How in the hell is Hugo ranked lower than two other unmentionables in this story?”
Thank you for asking, no one ever.
Put frankly, Hugo just annoyed the crap out of me. I know that’s supposed to be part of his character, but it went above and beyond the scope of acceptable annoyance. I grew to hate every second he was speaking. He never really contributed anything to the plot other than some irritating drivel. He wasn’t an antagonist, but he also wasn’t a pleasing good guy. He’s also the reason I’m considering not re-reading this book again right away like I want to.
#11 -- Guy Ledford
This man. This. Man. THIS MAN!
This part is going to include major spoilers, y’all, so if you haven’t read it and are still intending to, skip away now!! Again, major spoilers from here on out kids.
Guy Ledford is your main character’s ex-husband who has been absent for four years since the start of the book and wants to reconnect with his daughter. He is also a CEO of a snack food company/app, Nomme. He is the main antagonist of the book.
The reason I didn’t rank him lower is he genuinely adds something to the plot. He IS the plot. He’s the reason this book exists. However, he is such a scumbag he deserves nothing. He feels like a trope for quite a lot of the time, but at least he’s not physically abusive like a true trope could have been (at least, I never noticed him being physically abusive). Just, you know, a gaslighting, manipulative, arrogant, rude, selfish son of a-
I also love that they named him “Guy”. I’ve only ever met one man named this in my life, so it’s funny to me that they named this jerk “Guy” so it’s not only the most generic sounding name (did his parents also get a dog named “Dog” and a cat named “Kitty”?), but also one that a lot of men won’t likely have so they don’t have to get name checked in relation to him.
I like that you can get a good outcome (Guy ends up with joint custody with visitations  every weekend and having to back pay) without spending diamonds in this game as long as you make the right choices, but for those who DID spend all of the diamonds, I would have liked to have seen Guy end up with worse. I would have liked to see, if you made most of the right choices and bought all of the diamond stuff, him ending up with every other weekend or maybe just visitation. I know he’s trying to be a good dad (but still an absolutely terrible human being), but every weekend seems like so much when your daughter is in school.
#10 -- Augustus Blackwood
August Blackwood is one of Vanessa Blackwood’s sons and is a student at Bernhardt Academy.
I’m not going to spend a lot of time on this one. But he hurt my daughter and that’s enough. I would have liked to have seen him fleshed out a little bit more beyond being basically just a schoolyard bully. His motivations for his actions are hinted on, but nothing is really ever done and he’s mostly just a prop for something to hurt your daughter.
#9 -- Vanessa Blackwood
Vanessa Blackwood is the president of the PTA, a single mom, and a lawyer and becomes an antagonist to your character.
I’m probably going to get hate for this, but I want to like Vanessa. Obviously, she’s hateful and offensive, in some very, very unredeemable ways, but there’s something about characters like that which makes me want to forgive them and teach them how to be better. How to rehabilitate their bitterness. I felt it with Olivia Nevrakis, I felt it with Victoria Fontaine, and I know certain people in the fandom felt it with Becca Davenport and Poppy Min-Sinclair. 
**DISCLAIMER** Keep in mind, I’m not trying to excuse homophobia and racism here. They are both despicable things and should be accounted for. However, after having grown up in a homophobic and racist home and learning to leave that shit in the dust by the time I was eighteen and SLOWLY teaching my family to do the same over the course of the last 10 years, I believe people can change if you give them room and help to. Not everyone will, not many people will, but I believe in giving the chance. We need to force people to take responsibility and learn from their mistakes. Should the book have been approved as a series rather than a stand alone, I think this might have been a very real option within book 2.
#8 -- Ajax “AJ” Blackwood
Ajax Blackwood is one of Vanessa Blackwood’s sons and a student at Bernhardt Academy.
AJ is the quieter of the Blackwood boys, AJ is a shy kid who hates that his brother is mean just as much as your daughter does. He finally has enough within the book and stands up to him, which was more than a little satisfying and he does seem to have a genuinely good heart. I think it would be so cute for him, your daughter, and Luz to be their own adorable trio of friends. 
#7 -- Levi Schuler
Levi Schuler is your neighbor who helps save the day for MC early on in the book and becomes a friend to both her and your daughter. He is also one of your love interests.
And if this list is going to invoke hate from the masses, it will be this entry that does it. I know how loved Levi is. And I love him too! I just find him, and his musician plot, to be a bit tiring. He’s a wonderfully supportive friend/love interest, just about one of the nicest people, and he’s great with your daughter. I swear, all of the love interests in this book would be god tier in any book. It’s truly unfair to the others that we got three amazing ones here along with a great cast of characters. However, since that did happen, Levi will sit here at #7. He can have a consolatory rugelach while I continue on.
#6 -- Faye Devore
Faye Devore is your ex-husband’s new girlfriend, a younger social media influencer.
I loved Faye. Right from the start, I loved Faye. I prayed they weren’t going to make this into one of those books where we were supposed to hate the “other woman” because those plots are old, outdated, and overused. Thankfully, MOTY lets us skirt right around it and we end up with a wonderful character like Faye, who is the human definition of having the best intentions.
She gets on well with your daughter, even pointing out to MC at one point that she thinks of her like a little sister, and goes above and beyond to make her happy. She is genuinely upset about going against MC’s wishes about your daughter appearing on social media and doesn’t appear to want to cause any harm or hard feelings with MC at any point during the book. In fact, she wants to be friends. 
I would have loved for this and for it to be fleshed out more, again, if we had ever gotten a book 2. I’m also that jerk who would have totally romanced her in a replay and would have emptied my wallet to get a scene in that hypothetical book 2 where Guy finds out. Take that homophobe!
#5 -- Dr. Eiko Matsunaga
Dr. Eiko Matsunaga is a science teacher who teaches at the private school your daughter goes to and becomes friendly with MC because of your daughter. She is also one of your love interests.
If I would have had a teacher like Dr. Matsunaga when I was in school, maybe I would have cared about science at any point during my childhood. Eiko is so incredibly smart but has a heart of gold. She could be off teaching at colleges or writing published journals, but she’s teaching elementary science at a private school and honestly enjoying herself! She wants to see children succeed and will give any child who wants to do so, like your daughter, all of the help they need.
I want to romance her. I want to be her friend. I want it all because I’m selfish even when I don’t because I could never possibly be worthy of the supremacy that is Eiko. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
#4 -- Your Daughter / Zoey
Your daughter is 9 years old at the start of the book and desperately wants to be an astronaut. She is a science whiz and moves from public school to Bernhardt Academy at the beginning of the book to kickstart her education.
It makes me so sad that I will never actually have this child. “Zoey” is just so smart and funny and sweet and I love her so much. I spent so many diamonds on her. She’s a pixelated little bundle of amazing and I would die for her. That’s it.
#3 -- Alma Velasco
Alma Velasco is your neighbor, best friend, and (for part of the time) co-worker.
What did our character do to deserve such an amazing ride-or-die friend like Alma? She never disbelieves MC, is forever supportive as a shoulder to cry on and a supplier of good wine, and also helps MC out of more than one pinch. Seriously an amazing friend, and I wish we could have done something equally amazing for her to reciprocate.
#2 -- Thomas Mendez
Thomas Mendez is a lawyer and a single dad who becomes friends with MC very early on in the book. He is also one of your three love interests.
A big reason for why Thomas is at #2 is because of who #1 is but we’ll get there in a second.
There’s also something about Thomas that speaks to me as a person. It’s more than just being interested as a love interest or as a friend. There’s something about who he is. His awkwardness, his humor, his kindness and his generosity all make him someone I envy as much as I admire.
He takes on MC’s case pro bono when he doesn’t have to. He shrugs it off like it’s no big deal, but stepping back and looking at the it, by all accounts he was walking into a handily losing situation. He was also super busy at this time being a single parent himself and working on his class action lawsuit. That’s not even saying anything about him still grieving for Soledad.
However, the biggest reason I love Mr. Mendez is...
#1 -- Luz Mendez
Luz Mendez is a student at Bernhardt Academy who becomes best friends with your daughter early in the book. She is a soccer and art fan.
This little girl is the best thing I have ever read in my entire life. She made the entire book. Every character that came before her pales in comparison to her majesty. She is a goddamn queen and deserves everything.
Every scene with her is gold and I wish we had more. This little girl was completely willing to curb stomp someone with her cleats at the courthouse if something would have happened to your daughter. She is so aggressively herself and it is a joy to see. The relationship between her and her father is what really kept me going through the book’s more difficult spots. There is such true love and acceptance there, as well as the drive and desire to do better for the other than I just...There is really no way for me to properly explain the perfection that is Luz Mendez so I guess you’ll just have to read it yourself.
---
I’m not sure why it took me so long to start reading Mother of the Year (MOTY), but I’m so glad I did. In 3 days flat I binged the entire book, wasted so many accumulated diamonds, and had the time of my life. The cast of characters in MOTY is perfect and I wanted to rank them according to my opinion on which ones were the best. I ranked all of the characters I found to be profound enough to matter to the storyline or that MC or “Daughter” had enough interactions with to matter. As a result, there are several characters who didn’t make this list. 
Sound off below if you wish.

TVD 9x15 - Dream a little dream... (Part 1) Enjoy! =)
Cut to – the secret facility, around 3am. All the guests from the Thanksgiving dinner party have left. Augustus and Darius are having a little one on one before heading to bed.
 AUGUSTUS: So, how does it feel to be back from La-la land? You really had us worried for a while. Thought you were a goner.
Tumblr media
DARIUS: How long was I out for?
Tumblr media
AUGUSTUS: Almost a month… You’re lucky Veritas was able to use his psychic juju to break the illusion. I was about to give up.
DARIUS: Given our history, I’m surprised you even tried.
AUGUSTUS: Well, bygones. And, Pietro can be very persuasive, he insisted we get you back.
DARIUS: I’ll have to thank him for that. Listen, I know we don’t always see eye to eye, and I know I made some mistakes, but we need to find a way to get over our differences, and see this through to the end.
AUGUSTUS: I agree. That’s the only reason I accepted to do this. Also, I have to admit, you do have some irreplaceable talents.
DARIUS: As do you, from what I’ve been seeing… I could have sworn I saw Tamara at the dinner party. What are you, making clones now?
AUGUSTUS: (Smirks) Oh no, clones are of no real use. And, unlike you, I don’t like to tamper with nature. What you saw was technology at its best.
DARIUS: So, like robots, basically?
AUGUSTUS: Not exactly; more like artificial intelligence. Specifically, it’s called ASI, an artificial intelligence superior to human intelligence or ability. The superhuman, as we like to call it in the geek community.
DARIUS: And they call me the crazy one.
AUGUSTUS: Don’t confuse using technology in our advantage with a god complex, and a bad case of fatal attraction. You really lost it, Darius; almost sabotaged the order’s plan to cater to your fantasies. We can’t have that happen again, so, I hope you understand, some adjustments had to be made.
DARIUS: What are you talking about?
AUGUSTUS: Let’s just say, you didn’t get that scar on your head by accident…
DARIUS: What did you do to me?
AUGUSTUS: Don’t worry, nothing drastic. All I did was install a type of control button, to put it in a way. Just to make sure you don’t go rogue on us again. Can’t blame us for including an insurance policy after the mess you made. (Yawns) Well, I think it’s time I call it a night.
DARIUS: Question, did that “tweak” of yours involve some sort of weird programming with the movie Sunset Boulevard?
AUGUSTUS: The fifties noir film?  
DARIUS: Yes.
AUGUSTUS: Well, I am a big fan, but no; that’s all you, pal. Anyway, I need my rest. I’ll see you tomorrow.
DARIUS: Sweet dreams…
AUGUSTUS: (Somewhat confused) Uhm… okay. Make sure you get some sleep (he leaves).
DARIUS: I will, eventually…  (Darius dozes off in a daydream sort of state; the song Wicked Game by Hula-Hifi, lingering in his mind).

Cut to – The Salvatore mansion. Damon and Bonnie’s room, around 3 am. Damon wakes up suddenly, sweating and breathing heavily. He turns to Bonnie, she’s not in the bed. He gets up, knocks on the bathroom door, no answer. He opens the door, she’s not inside. Vamps downstairs, finds her watching T.V in the family room.
 DAMON: Hey, Bon-Bon; what are you doing?
BONNIE: Couldn’t sleep, and I didn’t want to wake you, so…
DAMON: (Peeks to see what she is watching) Sunset Boulevard, love this movie.
BONNIE: Come, join me.
DAMON: (Vamps speeds to cuddle with her) You okay?
BONNIE: Fine, just a bad case of insomnia.
DAMON: Want some popcorn?
BONNIE: Is the answer ever no when it comes to that question?
DAMON: (Smirks, gets up) One order of large popcorn coming right up (gives her a peck on the lips, and vamps to the kitchen. Bonnie continues to watch the movie; at some point she begins to feel sleepy and dazed, almost immediately, she falls into a deep sleep).
 Cut to – 1950, Hollywood, California. The cast and crew, of what promises to be the next Oscar winning film, are getting ready for another day of shooting on set. The lead actress, a true Hollywood diva, is in her dressing room rehearsing some lines. The lead actor walks in the room, hands her a cup of coffee.
 KAT: Every day I tell you I hate that…
Tumblr media
IAN: And every day I do it anyway.
Tumblr media
KAT: Can you just get out, before I have security take you out.
IAN: Is that any way to treat your co-star?
KAT: The only reason you got this job is because your daddy is the head of the studio, you are a horrible actor.  
IAN: Kitty Kat, that hurts my feelings. Not everyone can sleep their way to the top, if you know what I mean… Shall we do the count? Joseph, Chris, Michael… Oh, and let’s not forget your recent one, my lovely brother, Paul… I told you, everyone knows about you two, or almost everyone… Aw, poor Candice! Anyway, you can drop the act now.
KAT: And, I told you, who I choose or don’t choose to sleep with, is none of your business, or hers. So, butt out.
IAN: You know, you are quite cute when you get mad (smirks).
Tumblr media
KAT: I actually look cuter when I’m kicking someone’s ass; want to see?
Tumblr media
IAN: (Wiggles is eyebrows) Ooh, you are on fire today!
Tumblr media
Keep it up, maybe you will finally nail at least one scene. (The film director walks in). 
MATT: You two are up. And please, stop with the bickering, it’s getting very annoying. Be professional for Christ’s sake!  Come on, chop, chop! You are on in five (leaves).
Tumblr media
KAT: How dare he speak to me that way! Does he know who I am?!
IAN: Apparently, he doesn’t care; ouch! (Hands her the coffee cup) Here, have some, looks like you are going to need it.  
Tumblr media
KAT: Shut up… (grabs the cup reluctantly, and takes a sip. Another actress comes barging in, venting).
CANDICE: I swear if I have to do another scene with that incompetent fool, I’m quitting!
KAT: What did Chris do this time?
CANDICE: He can’t tell his left foot from his right one. How on earth did he get the part!
IAN: (Looking at Kat, teasing) Gees, I wonder how…
KAT: (Rolls her eyes, turns to Candice) Come on, he’s not that bad.
CANDICE: Please, you only say that because you slept with him. Not that I’m judging, he’s very hot, but he definitely can’t dance!
Tumblr media
KAT: Well, he makes up for it in other areas (smirks)…
CANDICE: (Grins) Naughty, naughty… Anyway, where is Paul?!
IAN: Missing someone? Don’t worry, Blondie, he should be here soon, he’s just running late. Think you can handle a few minutes without him?
CANDICE: God, I hate you…
KAT: That makes two of us.
IAN: (Looking at Kat) You know there’s a fine line between love and hate (smirks).
KAT: In your dreams.
IAN: Every night, at least twice.
KAT: You are disgusting.
IAN: I know (winks. The Assistant Director walks in).  
STEVEN: Miss. Graham, Mr. Somerhalder, we are ready for you.
KAT: Let’s go.
Cut to – LAPD Headquarters. The Chief of Police is in his office, smoking a cigarette, looking at a photo of a victim who was found brutally murdered the night before. The victim, an aspiring actress who had just landed her first role, a minor part in a high-profile production.
Tumblr media
This town… A concrete monument of decay. From the outside it might seem glamourous, with its movie stars and divas, but it’s nothing more than a sewer filled with rats. Nights reek of booze, gun powder, and flesh blood, masked with a cheap imitation of expensive perfume.
Days are no better. The only difference between the two is that during the day, it’s harder for the predators to hide, or so they think. In reality, the true gangsters hide at plain sight. They mock us, thinking they are always one step ahead, always above the law.
But not this time… not this time… (Caresses the victim’s photo, a tear scrolling down his cheek) My sweet Nina… who could have possibly done this to you? And why?
Tumblr media
youtube
(The song “The Two Of Us” by Mark Isham, plays in the background, as the Detective has flashbacks of the woman and the horrendous murder scene; tears keep rolling down his cheeks).
Cut to – the film set. Kat and Ian are shooting one of their scenes.
 IAN: Don’t go with him… you belong here, with me.
Tumblr media
KAT: Please, don’t say those words. You know I want nothing more, but I can’t stay… He is my husband.
IAN: And I am the man you love.
KAT: Always and forever; no matter how far.
IAN: (Kisses her passionately. As she begins to walk away and the rain begins to pour, he runs after her, turns her around) I’m sorry, but I won’t let you go (kisses her again, the song Godot - The Fragrance of Dark Coffee + Rainymood, starts to play. 
youtube
The raindrops continue to fall as they hold each other, probably for the last time…)
MATT: And, cut! Beautiful! Now that’s what I call cinema! We are making history people!
KAT: (Ian is still holding on to her). Didn’t you hear cut?!
IAN: No, must have bad hearing… (he smiles; she tries to resist, yet can’t help but smile herself).
Tumblr media
MATT: Okay, everyone, let’s take 30 while we prep for the next scene.
KAT: (To Ian) Did you hear that? (Pushes him away) Now, shoo, skedaddle! (She walks away, he follows behind, teasing her).
STEVEN: Mr. Davis, there is a Detective here to see you.
MATT: What? Why?
STEVEN: I think it has something to do with that actress that didn’t show up on set today.
MATT: Which actress, Steven, there are plenty of them around here.
STEVEN: Nina.
MEET: Nina, who? Doesn’t ring a bell.
STEVE: She’s the actress that is playing Miss. Graham’s handmaiden.
MATT: Oh, yes, I think I remember. What about her?
STEVEN: I don’t know. Why don’t you talk to the Detective.
MATT: Fine. Send him my way.
ZACH: (Shows him his badge) Detective Zach Roerig, LAPD, can I ask you some questions?
MATT: Sure, just don’t take too long, we need to keep shooting while we still have the proper lighting.
ZACH: (Takes a picture of Nina out of his pocket and shows it to him) Do you know this woman?
MATT: Barely, she is just an extra with a very small part, we don’t interact. I only work with the stars, so my assistant might be able to give you more insight on her.
ZACH: I’ll talk to him, that’s for sure. But you are the one in charge of this production, correct?
MATT: I am the Director, so yes.
ZACH: Maybe you should pay more attention to your “not so important” cast members as well. Miss. Dobrev was found brutally murdered last night; just one block from here.
MATT: Oh, lord, that is terrible. What happened?
ZACH: Was I not clear? She was murdered, decapitated to be exact. And, we suspect the one responsible for this heinous crime, is part of this little film of yours.
MATT: That’s absurd! No one here would ever do such a thing!
ZACH: You’d be surprised what people are capable of, especially in a town like this. It ain’t all lights and glamour. This is an official investigation, so we are shutting this production down until we get some answers.
MATT: You can’t do that! We are on a schedule.
ZACH: Well, it looks like you’re going to have to make some changes. I need you to call in everyone in the cast and crew, and I mean everyone. No one leaves, until we clear them.
MATT: Do you have any idea who you’re talking to? I don’t take orders from anyone.
ZACH: You Hollywood types and your sense of entitlement. You are in for a reality check, no one is above the law. Here is a warrant to search the premises and question every single one of you. So, make yourself comfortable, we might be here for a while. I’ll need your office for questioning, while my squad processes the area. I take it you don’t mind. And, to prove I’m not all that bad, I’ll start with you. Lead the way.
Tumblr media
Cut to – the Director’s office.
 SUSPECT # 1 – THE DIRECTOR
Tumblr media
ZACH: For the record, state your full name.
MATT: Matthew W. Davis.
ZACH: How did you know the victim?
MATT: I told you, I didn’t. Apart from directing the few scenes she has been in, I have never talked to or interacted with her at all.
ZACH: What were your whereabouts last night, from 11pm to 2am?
MATT: I was here, filming. Went home around 3am.
ZACH: (Shows him a note that reads: You were great last night. Keep it up, and you might become a real movie star someday…). Do you know what this is?
MATT: (Looking nervous) Where did you find that?
ZACH: I’m the one that will be asking the questions. Is this your handwriting?
MATT: It is.
ZACH: Can you explain how, and why, this was found in the victim’s purse the night she was murdered?
MATT: I have no idea. That note wasn’t for her.
ZACH: Oh, really? Who was it for, then? And why do you reckon Miss. Dobrev had it with her?
MATT: I can’t tell you who it was for. And, I have absolutely no idea why that woman would have that note.
ZACH: Oh, come on, try harder.
MATT: This is ridiculous, I want my lawyer.
ZACH: You are in your right to request one, but that would only make you more suspicious. So, I would advise otherwise.
MATT: What do you want from me? I already told you everything I know.
ZACH: Who was the note for?
MATT: Okay, okay… it was for Candice.
ZACH: Doesn’t make much sense though, she’s already a movie star…
MATT: She is, but not a diva, like Miss. Graham. That’s what every woman in Hollywood wants. And I am the only one that can give that to them.
ZACH: That’s a lot of power to be in one man’s hands.
MATT: I worked hard for it, trust me.
ZACH: Sure you did… Okay, I’m gonna let you go for now, while we verify your alibi; but trust me, we will talk again.
MATT: Whatever. Can I leave?
ZACH: Yes, and send your assistant in.
SUSPECT # 2 – THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR
Tumblr media
ZACH: For the record, state your full name.
STEVEN: Steven R. McQueen.
ZACH: How do you know Miss. Dobrev?
STEVEN: She is one of the actresses in the film.
ZACH: More like, was…
STEVEN: What?
ZACH: She was murdered last night, about a block from here. Know anything about that?
STEVEN: No, no, of course not. Oh, god, she’s dead?! This can’t be true… How, why?
ZACH: Well, that’s what I want to find out, pal. Think you can help me figure it out?
STEVEN: Whatever I can do to help, you can count on it. Miss. Dobrev was a lovely gal.
ZACH: Were you two close?
STEVEN: Not really. I met her when we started filming. We talked from time to time, but that was about it.
ZACH: Just talk, ha?
STEVEN: Yes, Detective, I swear.
ZACH: I believe you. Look, you seem like a decent guy. I’m sure, if anyone, you are the one that knows what really happens around this set. Help me out? Miss. Dobrev deserves some justice, don’t you think?
STEVEN: Of course. I will tell you everything I know.
ZACH: Good. Why don’t we start with Mr. Davis’s real relationship with the victim…
Cut to – Kat’s dressing room. Kat, Ian, Candice, Paul, and Chris are talking about the situation.
 CANDICE: With all due respect, but who is this Nina person?
KAT: She’s the actress playing my handmaiden.
CANDICE: Oh, her? Well, you can’t really refer to her as an actress, I mean...
Tumblr media
CHRIS: She’s a nobody, so who cares.
Tumblr media
PAUL: Judging from the Police take-over, something big is going on.  
Tumblr media
CANDICE: Why do you care?
PAUL: I’m just saying, it doesn’t look good.
IAN: Well, I agree with Mr. slippery shoes and Cinderella, who cares! We should be shooting, don’t want to lose the good lighting.
KAT: Of course you wouldn’t dare to care about anyone but yourself….
Tumblr media
IAN: Really, Kitty Kat? This coming from little Miss me, myself, and I. We all know who you are.
Tumblr media
KAT: No you don’t, so stop pretending you do.
PAUL: (Sarcastically) Ouch, bro.
Tumblr media
CHRIS: (To Kat and Ian, sounding quite bitter) Can you two stop bickering, for like a second! Gees, just get married already! So freaking obvious…
Tumblr media
KAT: Please, he wishes!
IAN: I might like a little pain here and there, but I’m no masochist… unless you ask nicely, of course (winks; the Director walks in). Matt, can you please tell us what the hell is going on!
MATT: We’ve been shut down, until further notice. Oh, and no one can leave either, so make yourselves comfortable.
IAN: What! Why?!
MATT: Well, that wannabe actress playing Kat’s handmaiden was murdered last night. Ruined our entire schedule! The Police think one of us did it… ridiculous!
KAT: Wait, what!? She was murdered? No, no… that can’t be… Oh my god!
CHRIS: And I’ll say it again, why do we care? She is a nobody! Or was, whatever!
KAT: Don’t say that! You have no idea who she was…
CHRIS: Neither do you, Kitty Kat.
Tumblr media
IAN: (Pushes Chris away from her)  First, no one calls her that, but me. Second, back off…
Tumblr media
CHRIS: (Sarcastic smirk) Oh, please. Don’t you get it? She will never love you. Once she gets what she wants from you, she’ll throw you out like a piece of trash. So stop trying so hard.
IAN: (Grabs him by the neck) Listen, psycho boy…
PAUL: Stop, both of you. Is it too much to ask for you to act like adults, for once? We really don’t need your little pissing contest drama right now.
Tumblr media
KAT: Nor any of this… Everyone get out, I need some space.
IAN: (Looking concerned) Kat...
KAT: I said, get out! All of you! (They leave).
Tumblr media
Cut to – the Director’s office.
 ZACH: Thank you for your cooperation, this information is critical to our investigation.
STEVEN: (Looking scared) Please, Detective, promise me you won’t tell them you heard those things from me, I would be completely ruined.
ZACH: Don’t worry, your secrets are safe with me, trust me. Now, be a sport and send Miss. Accola my way, will you?
STEVEN: Will do, Detective.
ZACH: Thank you, we will talk again soon.
SUSPECT # 3 – THE ACTRESS
Tumblr media
ZACH: For the record, state your full name.
CANDICE: (Flirtatious) Detective, you don’t believe I had anything to do with this, do you? I mean, look at me… do you really think I would be capable of such a thing?  
ZACH: Perhaps you didn’t hear me. I said, state your full name.
CANDICE: Fine… Candice Rene Accola. But I swear, Detective, I never even crossed a word with that woman.
ZACH: Funny, that’s not what I’ve heard…
CANDICE: From who? Whoever said that is obviously lying! I have a reputation to protect, I don’t mingle with the extras.
ZACH: Oh, I’m sure you don’t, but I wonder if you get jealous of them?
CANDICE: (Laughs) That’s absurd! Why on earth would I be jealous of her!? She’s a nobody.
ZACH: Maybe she had something you wanted…
CANDICE: What could she possibly have had that I don’t? If anything, she was the one jealous of me.
ZACH: I hear you are quite smitten with an ex of hers.
CANDICE: An ex? What are you talking about?
ZACH: Just cut the bullshit Miss. Accola. I know for a fact that Mr. Wesley and Miss. Dobrev where previously engaged, that is until you came into the picture…
CANDICE: (Nervously) Please, Detective, let me explain…
ZACH: Please, do.
CANDICE: It’s not what you think. I mean, yes, I knew they had a thing in the past, but that was a long time ago. They went to the same Highschool, in this godforsaken town in the middle of nowhere, or something along those lines. But, I swear, I never even spoke to her, nor did he, after that. No disrespect for the deceased, but she was weird, she didn’t belong in the same circle as us. There are levels, and she is, well, was, way below ours. If you are looking for a real suspect, I suggest you talk to Mr. Wood, I know there was something going on between those two.
ZACH: Really, why would you say that?
CANDICE: They are both whack jobs. They would get together after shooting; hang out at this weirdo trash bar down the block called “The Grill”, where all the other city looneys hang out. Trust me, they were into some really creepy stuff.
ZACH: What kind of creepy stuff?
CANDICE: Some obscure vampire nonsense. I’m telling you, totally cuckoo.
ZACH: Vampires?
CANDICE: Yes, I swear! If you ask me, I wouldn’t be surprised if Chris turned out to be one… I mean, if they were real, of course. Only a crazy person would believe those things.
ZACH: I agree. So, you are saying Miss. Dobrev had a dark side?
CANDICE: Oh, for sure! No one ever bought her little “Mary Sue” act.
ZACH: Well, that’s quite specific information for someone who claims not to know anything about her.
CANDICE: I’m just telling you what I’ve heard from others, specifically, from Mr. Wood.
ZACH: Okay, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt on that, for the moment. Now, (hands her the same note he handed the Director) can you explain what this is about?
CANDICE: (Looking genuinely clueless) I have never seen that before, I promise.
ZACH: Fair enough. Moving on, what where your whereabouts last night, from 11pm to 2am?
CANDICE: I was here shooting, until about 3am, I think. I went straight home after that.
ZACH: 3 am? Doesn’t seem like a safe hour for a lady to be driving home alone…
CANDICE: Oh, of course not. I had my driver take me home.
ZACH: What’s your driver’s name?
CANDICE: Mr. Trevino, you can ask him if you don’t believe me. He’s right outside my dressing room.  
ZACH: No need, just yet. You are free to go, for now. Let Mr. Wood know I’m expecting him next.
CANDICE: Sure thing. (As she is walking out) Detective, one more thing… I probably shouldn’t say, since she is my best friend, but I feel obligated to mention this, it’s in my duty to do so. You should know Miss. Graham and Miss. Dobrev used to be very close friends, best friends actually. She doesn’t know I know that, but I do. In fact, Kat is the reason Nina got this job in the first place; and the reason why Nina moved from that Mystic place to LA. Just thought you should know… Hope it’s useful information (flirtatious smirk).  
ZACH: (Flirting back) Very useful, Miss. Accola; thank you for sharing.
Cut to –  Kat’s dressing room. She is looking at herself in the mirror; she seems somewhat sad, but a lot more worried. Ian knocks.
Tumblr media
IAN: Kat, please, let me in… I’m sorry… (Kat opens the door, he walks inside, she looks around to make sure there is no one else there; shuts the door after him).
KAT: What do you want? I thought I made myself clear when I said I wanted to be left alone.
IAN: I needed to make sure you were okay (looks around the room) … I didn’t know you knew her outside of the film, I’m sorry if I was insensitive.
Tumblr media
KAT: (Goes to her mini bar, serves and hands him a glass of bourbon) It’s just you and me, look for yourself. You can stop pretending now.
Tumblr media
IAN: (Relieved) Okay, good… I don’t know how much longer I would be able to keep up with the act.
KAT: As long as it takes; we can’t risk them finding out.
IAN: I know, Kitty Kat, but I’m freaking out here! This place is infested with cops. What the hell are we going to do...?!
KAT: Calm down, we will think about that later… (kisses him passionately, and throws him on to her dressing room bed…)

Hello! How are you doing? It’s been a while since I stopped by! How is Augustus? ☺️
-♠️
HEY ♠️ !!!
i’m doing okay, really stressed about uni at the moment and that’s not gonna stop for a while because of exams and everything but oh well
i haven’t been able to see Augustus since i’m back at my dorm for corona reasons (nothing bad but my entire family has to go to work every day and i’m high risk so we thought it would be better to go back to my own apartment instead of interacting with them daily since it would be safer for me to be on my own which was smart because the small town closest to our village had an outbreak like right after i left.... anyways) so i haven’t been able to see him in a while, i did see pictures tho and can comfirm that my lil chonky is actually starting to get some meat on his bones so now his nickname actually makes a bit more sense. since it’s like actually starting to be a bit wintery he’s been staying inside now, usually he can just roam around but now his outside time is limited, if he wants to go play in the snow he can but he’s mostly just hanging out with my oma in the kitchen playing with his little mouse toy and getting lots of cuddles 
here’s a picture of my sweet baby (the flower emoji is there because he’s a pirate kitty and some people think it looks gross) don’t let his innocent face fool you he was clawing my thigh viciously while kneading
Tumblr media
how are you doing?
