the h2o gang but drunk

Lil disclaimer: for the purpose of this post all characters are eighteen, the legal drinking age in australia, as most are by season three. anywhere here go some headcanons:

cleo: giggly. just. giggly. think that one episode in season two where she gets moonstruck and is like 'the moon is silver i like silver.' definitely a lightweight and can be found laughing at the contents of the party host's kitchen cabinets after approximately one (1) drink

emma: that drunk girl giving you pep talks in the bathroom, discouraging your from texting your ex, gassing you up and telling how how pretty you are and omg she loves your dress where is it from. she manages to sober up in a second if someone else needs taking care of though

lewis: absolute party animal. all common sense goes out the window when drunk. he can be found tearing up the dancefloor, jumping into swimming pools from inadvisable heights, killing it at karaoke, and generally getting the cops called on the party/bar/other such establishment through his own buffoonery. if you try to engage him in serious conversation he will shut it down and like, challenge you to a game of beer bong which he definitely wins or something. he is a heavyweight and is always the last to leave the party

rikki: absolutely the sloppy and affectionate drunk. she will go around the party kissing the faces of strangers, telling her friends through tears how much she loves them, and probably end up on the receiving end of one of emma's tirades on why you shouldn't drunk text your ex. of course she will vehemently deny taking part in any of the above the next day

zane: for sure the philosophical drunk who gives ted talks to anyone about anything when he has a few drinks. like this guy thinks he's the host of the number one podcast on itunes or some shit. he is still surprisingly eloquent after a few drinks and is pretty knowledgable about a lot of different topics, but is not the kind of drunk you want at a dinner party or on the dancefloor lest you want to get an earful about like, the pros and cons of various cryptocurrencies or some bullshit equivalent

bella: bella is the rare type that gets more quiet and introspective after a few drinks. she can be found sitting in a corner soaking up the vibes and the atmosphere, or else being subjected to a zane-type drunk talking at her about karl jung's theory of the collective unconscious and being the only person to stick around for the conversation. if you try to get her to dance she will just sway gently and eventually go searching for the party host's cat. definitely the kind of person who peaces out of the party early without texting anyone

charlotte: it takes a lot to get charlotte drunk but it will usually go one of two ways: she is either the social butterfly drunk at the centre of all the conversations, laughing and chatting and dancing without making a fool of herself like party animal lewis; or she is the slightly aggressive drunk who talks a little too loudly, peels nate off whatever girl(s) he is attempting to harrass, and gets into lively debates with people whom she verbally eviscerates. think emma's brand of mom friend drunkenness but with more gusto

#alcohol tw #u asked for it so legally i had to provide 🤷‍♀️ #but consider the possibilities of lewis going absolutely balls to the walls on the dancefloor and dragging cleo out with him and she wants #to dance but she can't. stop. laughing. #emma and rikki in the bathroom together doing whatever the opposite of their dynamic usually is and telling each other how much #they love one another #zane accosting lewis with some philosophical question only for him to laugh for twenty minutes and cajole zane into the next round of #karaoke. who then spends the entire song reiterating said important philosophical question #rikki professing her love to zane who is basically like 'well what IS love' and waxes philosophical at her for twenty minutes while #she's like 🥺🥺🥺🥺 #char and bella would be excellent drunk companions since charlotte would help coax her out of her shell a little bit and ask her questions #and chat about deep meaningful stuff while hissing at any boys who try to hit on her #i just love the idea of one of the girls getting into shenanigans and desperately needing lewis's help while he's like playing chicken in #the pool with tiffany nate and miriam #h2o just add water #h2o #.txt #ask to tag

zikki wedding headcanons under the cut 🥰

i've spent a long time thinking about whether rikki and zane would be the type to marry, and ultimately landed on 'yes.' rikki is a rebel by nature but craves stability and normalcy overall (see: her going to the investment seminar to get some security) and is a closet sappy romantic (see: her entire relationship with zane). even though neither rikki nor zane had a normal childhood they adore one another and want to spend their lives together. they deserve to have some normal things, yk?

that said, rikki chose to eschew some of the traditions like having her dad walk her down the aisle or taking zane's last name. rikki walks down the aisle alone, and a few years after the wedding they decide together to double barrel their names. she definitely went by tradition by shoving wedding cake into his face during the reception though

zane proposes with a modest ruby ring with a diamond and sapphire on either side, to represent the importance of her relationship with cleo and emma. my guy knows how much they mean to her, that if you buy one you get the other two for free, and totally asked them for their blessing in advance of popping the question. zane decorates the moon pool with lights and candles and proposes to her there (of course, cleo and emma and lewis are standing by the entrance not-so-discreetly watching the whole time). for the actual ceremony rikki uses her powers to custom smelt their wedding rings 🥺

initially zane's dad wanted to pay for a big white wedding with a mile-long guest list to impress his many business partners. after all, harrison had been invited to dozens of such weddings in the past and felt obligated to return the favour when his own child's time came. after a lot of arguing they reached a compromise: a larger wedding would be held with a hundred or so guests which harrison would pay for, but there would also be a small ceremony that took place on mako island just for rikki and zane and family. rikki's dad also kicks up a bit of a fuss and insists on paying for the smaller ceremony. rikki never thought she'd get to have one wedding, let alone two. she loathes the thought of all the attention but knows that marrying zane means marrying into his crazy rich family whose traditions she may never fully understand

nate goes online to get ordained and officiates the ceremony. he is also zane's best man. rikki couldn't possibly pick between the girls to be her maid of honour, so she made them all bridesmaids and chose lewis as her maid of honour

the larger of the two ceremonies takes place at the beach on the mainland, with the reception at that fancy hotel from the investment seminar in season one. rikki eventually gets tired of rubbing shoulders with the myriad of guests just after 10pm and hides out on the roof. zane comes to find her and they stay up there together for the rest of the night, talking and laughing and enjoying being truly alone together. they have the best view for the fireworks, too

rikki has to be talked down from wearing a black dress, and then a red dress, by cleo and emma. eventually they convince her to try on a white dress and she finds herself surprised by how much she likes it. you can, however, pry her ruby locket from her cold, dead hands. the girls wear bridesmaids dresses which correspond to their respective theme colours

zane has some pre-wedding jitters and is mildly freaking out about standing up in front of hundreds of people to profess eternal love. rikki goes against tradition and finds him right before the ceremony. she tells him just to look at her and pretend she's a painting, or something he admires. he calms down pretty quickly after that

charlotte and her girlfriend/partner/wife are invited to the bigger of the two ceremonies. she exchanges pleasantries with the girls and lewis, and congratulates rikki and zane. she talks to max and finally meets miss chatham, who whisks her away to reminisce about her grandma gracie. charlotte then leaves early to go home with her girlfriend/partner/wife feeling lighter than ever before

lewis is the first one to break down crying at the ceremony, followed by nate during his officiating. zane eventually starts to cry too, as do rikki and the girls. rikki's dad holds it together pretty well until his speech during the reception. zane's dad remains relatively stoic but i think quietly sheds a few tears alone away from the crowd

nate spends most of the reception trying to hit on miriam, then moves on to tiffany. no matter how byron tries to explain, he cannot wrap his head around the fact that miriam and tiffany are married. eventually wilfred manages to get through to him, but only just barely

rikki initially wanted to name the tables at the reception after animal species that would have been decimated had she not foiled harrison's plans to develop mako. eventually zane talks her out of it and they agree to name the tables after things which have significance in their relationship, like 'ice cream,' 'pink mp3 player,' 'red dress,' 'tibetan statue,' 'motorbike,' 'barbecue' etc.

lewis catches the bouquet. he was nowhere near the bouquet toss when rikki threw it

rikki's dad, zane's dad, nate, lewis, emma, and cleo all make speeches. cleo is sure to insert a private joke of her last time attempting to make a speech to a crowd of rich people. while rikki thinks it's hilarious and laughs so hard her champagne comes out her nose. the other guests don't quite have the same reaction

the smaller wedding on mako island is a much more relaxed affair. it takes place on the beach as the sun goes down with just rikki, zane, their dads, the girls, lewis, nate, cleo's parents and emma's too. the girls organized finger food, and they all sit together on the sand eating and drinking as the moon rises. there are fire torches and lewis sets up a sound system and everyone dances together. nate takes out his guitar later on and they all sing old songs around the fire, telling increasingly embarrassing stories about one another. even harrison eventually admits it's a lot more fun than the big ceremony he put together before taking the parents back to the mainland on his bougie yacht. the rest stay behind on mako island talking till the sun comes up

#the 'rikki and zane have two weddings' headcanon is courtesy of my m*m causing a huge fuss when my brother got married since he wasn't #going to invite every parent of every wedding she had ever been invited to 💀 #the politics of weddings are just ripe for family drama i swear #but i think rikki and harrison would eventually get along pretty well. they disagree on a ton and butt heads but usually manage to keep i #t respectful. rikki loves him for making zane and for working on his relationship with them both and harrison loves her for making zane so #happy and keeping him on his toes. he definitely has a moment when he hits the roof when they decide to double barrel their names though #zane talks him down eventually #me throughout this and every post: season three? never heard of her #edit: i wasn't mean to post this yet 💀 #tumblr really said fuck you to its userbase #h2o just add water #h2o: just add water #.txt #zikki #rane #rikki chadwick #zane bennett
