@ownworth —– how does quinn davies sound...?
‘ going to lunch ’ is an impossible thing in the normal sense of the word; i’ll pick you up at twelve-thirty, picking a nice café or restaurant, sitting at a table for two by the window and having people walk by normally, no pointing, no staring, no clandestine camera-clicking. it’s a part of their jobs, this piece of privacy sacrificed in the form of the anonymity that everyone else around them takes for granted, and roger would never complain, but fame is a two-sided coin. there’s no way the papers and magazines aren’t going to be reporting on this by the next morning if he chooses a place so public for a moment that’ll influence the rest of their lives, one that really should be a private matter.
to pop the question. ask for her hand. propose. he picked up on how flustered the whole thing had made quinn when they’d been asked for the first time — not that he is that fantastic at reading her, though he tries his best, but the pressure of such a nosy question had gotten them into a fight that really could’ve been avoided. that’s the other side of the coin: the eye of the public is not a very merciful one. it’s why they’re here, on a sunny spring midday, sitting on the grass of a hill overlooking the city, and all alone. it’s easy to avoid tracking spells, but where there’s people there’s eyes, and mouths that report what is seen, so the secret to secrecy is simply to avoid places with people. find a place for only them to enjoy a peaceful moment.
he’s really put in effort to make everything nice. it wasn’t easy — roger knows quinn well, but he doesn’t know her expectations, and what he does know is that his perception of romance isn’t perhaps the most sensitive. it took him a while to make a plan, something simple but special, something she could enjoy in the moment and look back on in the future, something from the heart. he hopes that things do work out according to this plan them to, too, but if things go wrong he can just keep the box hidden in the folds of his jacket that lies next to him on the picknick blanket. perhaps she suspects something — he’s brought tea and wine and sparkling water, salads and sandwiches and a beautiful lemon tart from the pâtisserie that is decorated with candied lavender blossoms, really quite some effort for simply lunch, but if she does, he cannot tell. ‘ why, ’ he had told her upon inviting her, ‘ i just want us to do something nice together, ’ super inconspicuous. well, she’ll know his intentions soon enough.
“ see? ” roger leans in quinn’s direction, brushing her shoulder with his, an innocent smile on his lips, “ this is really nice, isn’t it? ”

🍓 but talk about someone who hasn't sent a strawberry and u wanna talk about anyway
i guess i’ll talk about @ownworth then because she asked, which frankly, is embarrassing. nixie you are a pain in my ass, and i’d like you to know that i hate u. sincerely.
i’m kidding, obviously i adore you. i think we’ve actually written together maybe 3 times on my 800 blogs and you’re still one of the people i talk to the most and genuinely one of my closest friends on this hellsite. you’re exceptionally talented and tbh i’d sell a lung to have a quarter of your talent. you’re also ok as a person i guess. i mean you’re mean to me, and you still haven’t watched jatp with me but i still love you with my whole heart. it doesn’t matter if you’re on quinn and giving me war flashbacks to glee, or making a character from a book series i’ve never read, i’ll follow you anywhere. and every day i’ll wonder if i should bring back sav just for you because ik how much you love her and i love you so that’s how this works. you’re an amazing friend, an incredible writer, and i feel like a lucky fucking bitch to have you in my life. you’ve even heard what my dumbass sounds like and you still want to be my friend, which honestly, that’s a whole other level. i hope you know that even when i bully you it’s out of love and that when i say i’ll go fight people who bother you, there is no bluff there. the second you give me the go ahead i will go full bitch for you, never forget that xoxo.
the only thing that could make me love you more is if you watch jatp with me, thank you for coming to my ted talk.

“ something BAD happened here. ” it was obvious in the way bodies were scattered across the floor; each and every one FRESH. taken care of so they wouldn’t come BACK. at this moment in time, it didn’t matter how it happened or WHY. they just needed to avoid being NEXT. “ be careful, hmm ? stick close to me. ”

DAY 8
The irony of life is that we can love and hate at the same time, it all depends on how we see things in life. Having a positive perspective can have a positive impact because at the end of the day our happiness is all that matters.

“Captain -”
The plea from his boatswain goes all but ignored, blue eyes trained to the darkness that looms before them, bathed in a fog that blows across The Jolly Roger’s decks as if breath from the wind. The stars are covered by clouds - a single one breaks free at any given moment, only to be taken prisoner once more, so his men work by lighted lanterns, careful lest any of their captain’s ire be directed at them.
“Captain, I don’t think - “
Once again Smee’s daft voice reaches his ears, tangling in the melody that lures him onwards - breaking into thoughts with an intrusion that is not easily cast aside. Blue eyes flash with a blaze of anger, lighting up in the darkness as words are all but growled at the other man, curved steel held up between them as a warning to be quiet. Confident in the other’s silence, Killian once more peers ahead, ears strained for the song he had heard earlier - a cry of a woman, luring him with a desperate keening that tugs on his heart. His crew are nervous, tales of things such as these run rampant in docks and taverns - but their captain is not a superstitious man, so follow his lead they will.
The ship creeps ever closer, voice loud in his head, and the pirate abandons the help, black boots eating up the distance until he leans over the rail near the bow of the ship. He searches the sky, the rocks, the very sea itself - blue eyes flickering over every shape, every shadow, determined to find the thing that speaks to him so clearly.
Bloody hell.

‘ YOU MUST BE STARVED, please help yourself. ’ it still felt strange, to gather around the homemade stove nestled against the desk that once housed the information booth. the gallery looked so different now, with defenses set and supplies neatly piled around the area anyone would have to look very carefully under layers and layers of blankets to discover hundreds of painting neatly gathered together for safe keeping. as she kneels forward she's quick to graciously offer portions of whatever she was able to mix together. company has always caught her off guard as most survivors brushed off the buildings that idealistically carried no supplies. ‘ THEIR IS PLENTY for all of us. ’

VILLANELLE SIPPED on her lemonade while staring bemusedly at the blonde. She knew the type. HOMECOMING QUEEN, multitalented. The world was her oyster and all of that shit. And she would have no problems as long as she PLAYED HER PART and provided Villanelle the cover that she need to GET OUT of here. “ Heyyyy long time NO SEE !!! ” The smile shifted into a QUIET, PLEADING LOOK. Playing the little American girl who is in danger. Hopefully an easy way out.

@ownworth —– quinn fabray
what, really, are suvs good for?, one might ask, especially as someone concerned for the environment — the answer is, as it turns out, “ the zombie apocalypse ”. it makes sense, they’re sturdy and heavy enough to withstand the hordes, they’re fast and have a four wheel drive, which becomes essential as the unmaintained streets erode under the elements and often paths must be taken through different terrain. especially the armored military vehicles they have at the base are the only efficient way of getting across country, though most outposts have likely engineered their own versions. climate change turns out to be less of a concern as anticipated now, as humanity battles a quite different existential threat. there’s no reason then why roger, who in his previous, sheltered life would have had no need for a vehicle this excessive, should feel any moral qualms over maneuvering this tall dark four-wheel drive. the rest of the team are in a vehicle behind him, and it’s just the new normal. the rest of the team except for quinn, at least, who’s in his passenger seat. they arrive at their first shelter just as the dashboard clock reminds them it’s time to set up camp, before it gets dark and they remain exposed.
it’s an old university campus, one that’s been on their radar and largely cleared out, but they have their weapons drawn still as they check the halls of the main administrative building they plan to set up camp in. some windows are boarded up, but with less care than in residential areas, because places of learning were of course among the ones first abandoned. dead and rotting plants and scattered folders on the floor paint a desolate and eerie picture, but desolate and eerie is a new normal they should be used to by now. roger’s been here before, and after securing the camp he pulls quinn to the side for her to follow him. the sun is not yet setting, they have full view of the campus as they walk across it. “ patience, ” he responds to any questions of where he‘ll take her, “ i promise it’ll be good. ”
he goes in first with arms drawn, because although he made sure to leave it well locked the last time he scouted out the place, you never know what could’ve crawled inside through any hole he forgot to check. roger shoulders open the large double door and motions quinn to follow him. inside, the hug glass ceiling illuminates four stories of rows and rows of book cases. the university library is as good as untouched — what good are books in a fight for survival? it’s smaller than the library roger left behind at his alma mater, but it’s a beautiful sight nonetheless. “ cool, isn’t it? ” they’re alone, and the place has been out of commission for years, but the urge to whisper is too strong nonetheless. “ come, the literature section is on the third floor. unless you wanna read up on marine flora down here. ”

15. bookcase. / she's a nerd. she's gonna judge him by what books he keeps
15. bookcase / danny isn’t a big reader, so his bookshelf is really there only for books on music theory, a few memoirs on musicians he has gotten as presents over the years , music books, his stacks of notebooks and binders filled with his own music and then his vinyl and cd collections. he also has a few books of poetry that he keeps for inspiration for lyrics. he keeps up with newer poets rather than classics and will just go into the poetry section of the bookstore and just find short collections of poems. he does this a lot to help make music that can relate to other people as well rather than just basing it on his own experiences.

the tender rays of early morning light begin to flood in earnest now. he hears stirring behind him, but his focus is on the ‘motivational’ poster, faded, beaten, and dusted. craning his head back to see her approach, he holds the sign to her sight, “ get a load of this one : getting through life's tough times is easier if you have scars. ”

𝐂𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐑 - @ownworth
FLYNN DIDN’T PAY MUCH MIND TO PURE BLOOD DRAMA. despite landing himself in the slytherin house he knew his fellow housemates still looked down on him. he was an orphan. and while ‘ at least ‘ he grew up in the wizard world and wasn’t a muggleborn. there was still no way to trace his heritage. no way to prove his worth to those purest. but flynn recalled the talks when the fabrey girl had be put into the blue clad household. something about her family and it being unheard of. flynn felt his eyes roll back into his head every time. the teen plops down next to the girl without any invitation.
“ you know, the slytherin common rooms are actually the worst. i’m jealous of ravenclaw’s. up in the tower with what i assume is an amazing view... natural light. meanwhile slytherin is stuck in the dungeons. best thing we have is sometimes we see a stupid sea monster in our window. ”

the world, the hermit & the moon !
21. the world : is there one thing in life that your muse must accomplish ? what will they do when they complete that goal ?
this is tough to answer, because ( canonically ) river doesn’t even live to graduate high school, so setting big life goals would have been a concept that likely still felt a bit beyond him and a bit overwhelming to consider. anything he was really working to actively accomplish ( get into stanford, keep his grades up, stay active in his extracurriculars ) were circumstantial and only applicable to the immediate stage of his life. some of that was also not really for his own sake, but at the behest of others who were doing a lot of goal setting for him. but, if we look at what river’s own ideal future was, from the little discussion it actually gets, it’s a little easier to theorize on what his big picture life goals might have been.
he was a tutor ( and considering he comes “highly recommended,” he was good at it ). river enjoyed it, and got particular fulfillment out of knowing he was helping someone else and getting to connect with someone. he planned to take that into a career: river wanted to join the peace corps. i think the only thing river wanted to do in life was help people and do good work, and if he had not only lived to go to college and pursue a career but been able to do it on his own terms and do what he wanted, he would have gone on to become a teacher. and i don’t think that’s a goal that could ever be fully realized in his eyes; he would have continued seeking out those opportunities and i don’t think it would have been something that could be definitively “accomplished” for him. but of course, river only lives to be seventeen, and wasn’t really given much space for goal setting, anyways, so this all would have just been hypothetical for him, too.
09. the hermit : how introspective is your muse ? how often do they self - reflect ?
river is .... the most introspective. he is so emotionally intuitive and self-aware. he is consumed by self-reflection and the weight of his own thoughts and emotions. it’s arguably both his best and his worst quality. he has the emotional maturity and vulnerability to see himself for who he is and speak concisely and eloquently about himself and his inner workings, but that becomes a pretty heavy burden for him to carry. especially since most of that tends to be some pretty heavy stuff: “i feel everything. there just wasn’t enough positive emotion to balance me out.” carrying that kind of weight almost forces him to be so introspective so often. he can’t escape self-reflection.
18. the moon : what does your muse long for ? is it a realistic desire ?
there are lot of answers i could give for this one, but i think most broadly river just wants peace. he’s so often experiencing such intense inner turmoil, so often pulled in unwanted directions and pushed into things he doesn’t want and that serve other people much more than they serve him that he kind of just wants a break. if he could have found some peace, that probably could have been his saving grace. a close second is sincere connection in his life and specifically in his relationships, but i don’t think that could have actually come for him in a meaningful way if he didn’t have that inner peace for himself.
