Season 2: Liam/Naomi, their relationship deteriorates when Naomi's lying becomes out of hand, and her ignoring of Liam and his family issues. Annie, the person who is there for Liam, the shoulder, and he inevitably dumps Naomi.
Season 3: Ade/Navid, their relationship is hitting a rough patch because 1. Ade has been lying about the details of her music career, and 2. Her vanity and superficial attitude to being the center of attention, and not recognizing how much she leaves Navid high and dry. Silver witnesses Navid's family issues, becomes a friend, and their bond deepens on both ends. It's only time Navid is breaking up with Ade.
Parallels in both situations. Also, I'm not a Liam/Naomi and Navid/Adrianna shipper. Liam deserves better than Naomi while she deserves better than Liam. Liam was an Ozzie replacement for Naomi since Michael Trevino left 90210 for The Vampire Diaries. Ozzie wasn't an ass to Naomi, though. Navid's crush on Adrianna came out of nowhere in the first season since he was talking about wanting to date women who weren't Adrianna before she overdosed on drugs. I never bought their relationship.
I think Navid has more things in common with Silver than he does with Adrianna. They didn't need to destroy some of Adrianna's character in order to make Nilver happen. I prefer Liam's bond with Annie since it doesn't make him look like an Ozzie Cardoza replacement, but at the same time, I didn't like how it enforced the whole Naomi/Ethan/Annie element to it. Liam didn't need to be put as an Ethan replacement in that regard, especially since both characters ended up having a thing for Silver after being done with Naomi and Annie. Naomi's character shouldn't have been made annoying to prop up Liam/Annie. It's unnecessary to have the first girlfriend be "bad" in order to prop up the 2nd girlfriend.
Another parallel is that the writers had to have Jen sleep with both Ethan and Liam. I don't know why it had to be implied that Jen slept with Ethan since there wasn't any background story to it, meaning what drove Jen to even do it? How did Ethan manage to keep that a secret from his first serious girlfriend? With Liam, I understood since it made for the storyline in Season 2.
Ethan and Liam ended up being like a brother figure to Adrianna while their time being on the show. Ethan didn't appear to keep any contact with the characters after his departure and the whole thing between him and Silver.

is that golshifteh farahani? oh, no, that’s nasrin shirazi, a forty two year old doctor at valparaíso centro médico who uses she/her pronouns. they currently live in valparaíso, and the character they identify with most is sloan sabbith from the newsroom. hopefully they find their own little paradise here in el país de los poetas!

other : mina shirazi-li, alice shirazi-li, rachel shirazi ( nieces, an absolute hoot in the family group chat ); jonathan shirazi, nathaniel shirazi ( nephews, ate the last baklava at the last party. she's still bitter ). various cousins, aunts and uncles scattered all over the globe.
BIOGRAPHY.
the expectation is there, left unspoken yet certainly not overlooked. her parents have done too much, sacrificed too much, to be rewarded with absolutely nothing. it’s only fair, then, that the second youngest seek to make use of the opportunities handed to her in a country they've considered ideal for her and her siblings to flourish. to be good, to be great, to be somebody.
her youth is often spent following in the footsteps of her older siblings, listening in on their conversations as they discuss grades and classes and other topics that she can't quite wrap her head around. it's a feeling that doesn't sit well with her, of not having a clear idea of what she plans to do, though they reassure her that she'll figure it out soon enough.
they may not have much, but her father tries his best to fill the emptiness with what he can offer. friday nights are spent crowded around their tiny dining table, fruit juices and milk boxes in hand, as he leads discussion on school and friends and whatever plagues the mind of his children. it's a tradition that is maintained throughout the years ( and one she chooses to adopt for her own family ), and keeps everyone close, despite the various paths they take.
she's regarded as filial yet mischievous, bright yet blessed with a sharp tongue that never fails to leave her mother shaking her head in disapproval. her reputation in school is quickly established as the go getter : the sports captain, the vice president, the reliable debating team member. nothing remains out of reach for long, not with her desire to succeed in whatever she gets her hands on.
as her older siblings venture further along with their chosen pathway, she decides to carve her own. an avid interest in science leads to a desire to pursue medicine ; a journey that prompts her to pack up her belongings and relocate away from everything she's known, everyone she's known. ( it takes an entire year for the loneliness to wear off ).
it becomes a running joke in the family that her whereabouts can't often be pinpointed. whether she's working at a part time job or backpacking in a country halfway around the globe or merely lingering off the grid somewhere, no one's not too sure. what they are sure about, however, is that she'll always turn up with something. new stories, new gifts, new dreams.
routine is comfortable, but it quickly bores her. residency is partially spent wondering if she can achieve more or if this is the price to pay for being a pain in the ass during her teens. at the suggestion of a colleague, she tries her luck to look elsewhere to regain some sense of belonging and finds herself relocating, permanently, to a place that feels right and with a family she adores wholeheartedly.
HEADCANONS.
while close with all her siblings, her younger brother, navid, holds a special place in her heart. mostly due to the fact that they were both born in the states compared to her older siblings, and there was a different set of expectations that were bestowed upon them. and because he entertains her with funny family pictures when she's working late.
keeps up with the latest lingo, thanks in part to her nieces/nephews who explain it in detail whenever she's confused, and also because there's no way she wants to be out of the loop when lex runs through his day.
an early bird who enjoys waking up at 5 am to make a tea and prepare herself to be a productive human being ( can't relate ).
despite her busy schedule at times, nasrin will always insist on attending all the school events, remembering all the teachers and committing to memory classroom gossip for future reference. it's important!
has travelled extensively, counting kenya, laos, finland and chile, of course, as some of her favourite places.
incredibly sentimental. she'll keep whatever, receipts to clothing tags to candy wrappers as long as it has a happy memory.
listen, she doesn't lose her cool often, but on the days when lex rocks up with homework that doesn't make sense and she's tried to decipher it from 8438498 different angles, she has to stick her head out of the window because "why can't they write shit normally????"
can cook pretty well, ranging from your typical spaghetti bolognese to bozbash that her mother used to make. she's big on adding spices to things for a lil "extra feeling".
once, mo salah waved at her. she cried.
PLOTS.
a friendship group who meet up often for dinner and drinks because she doesn't have much of a life outside work + family, haha.
the bff who sees through her cool doctor facade to the idiot underneath ( don't be fooled, it's there ).
youths who need a responsible parental figure to keep them on the right path and pack them cute mini lunch boxes.
frenemies/rivals because while she tries to be the better person on most occasions, she can be preeeeetty petty.
former friends who maybe had a fallout or aren't as close due to their different paths? idk i just love pain.
patients she sees around the hospital more than usual, like "you're back? again? seriously."
totally won't object to any cousins wandering around ( happy to discuss potential fcs btw! ).
i like brainstorming, so i'm always interested in popping across ideas that could work for both of us!!!
