Biography

TW: Homophobia, Cancer, Drugs and Death

Annalise was born and raised in a small town in Colorado to her parents Walter and Sora Simon. She was the third of four children, all expected to follow in their parents path of greatness. Walter Simon was the Mayor of her small hometown, always in the spotlight and always ensuring that his family remained in a favorable way around the town. Her mother Sora Simon, a women who had migrated to the United States from Korea with her  parents as a young child defied all odds and landed herself in a respectable position as a lawyer, the youngest and best in her firm. Both intelligent and highly respected members of society expected their children to follow a similar path. It was expected so much so that their children’s lives were decided for them the moment that they started to walk. 

Annalise went with the flow, up until her freshman year in high school when she had started to crave something different. She was quick to become the outcast in her family. The first time she strayed from the path of her predetermined life was in her freshman drama class when she had developed a crush on her classmate that sat beside her... only thing being that this crush, well it had been another girl and not a boy. She had shrugged it off at first but as her feelings grew so did her confusion. After a year of hiding it she finally came out to her parents who were less than impressed. Her father gave her an ultimatum, she could either ditch this ‘faze’ of her life and start dating an approved guy or she could get out. With no where else to go she remained in the closet, she figured it couldn’t be that hard seeing as she was just as into guys as she was girls. However as years passed she found it harder and harder to keep this part of her hidden, despite her parents arranging a marriage between her and a family friend at the age of twenty-one. Although she wasn’t happy with the arrangement she followed through on it because what other choice did she really have?

By the age of twenty-two she was married and in law school, the daunting future looming ahead of her. She woke up one morning, realizing that she wasn’t happy and decided to leave. She packed a bag and left in the night without a single word to her family or her husband, jumping on a bus and riding it until its very last stop, which happened to be Los Angeles California.

It was in California that she met a girl by the name of Ophelia. A women who to this day Annalise would categorize as the love of her life. They had met in café and had clicked instantly. Ophelia had taken her in and showed her how to live without worrying about what others thought. Annalise, swept up in her knew lifestyle was on cloud nine. She felt like nothing could go wrong. which was exactly when something did. Ophelia had forgotten to mention one key thing before Annalise had fallen helplessly in love with her... she was dying of cancer. Annalise, refusing to accept such a thing had started to research different medical procedures that they could try, all of which Ophelia refused, she wanted to die the way that she had lived, not trapped in a hospital room being pumped full of drugs that more than likely wouldn’t do anything to improve her situation. So Annalise decided to look into alternative treatments, which was when she had found cannabis and its many benefits. She would cook and bake cannabis infused foods and did her research on the best strains for Ophelia’s situation. 

Ophelia passed away in September nearly three and a half years after they had met, leaving everything to Annalise because she was the only family that she had. Annalise had refused to allow the women’s death to break her and instead lived on how she would have wanted her to. Ophelia’s death had prompted Annalise to want to open a dispensary she wanted to educate and help people who might have been in a similar situation to Ophelia. She found herself moving across the country to a small town called Port Whitley where for a year she struggled and fought to open up her own little dispensary .

Horror Movie Marathon at Port WHitley’s Public High School

Open @pwstarters​

Annalise had been a scary movie fanatic since she was a child. I guess having older siblings and absentee parents would do that to a girl. So when she heard that the High School had a week long marathon going on of some of the classics she was more than happy to mark each day off on her calendar. She didn’t even care if no one wanted to attend the movies with her, she wasn’t afraid to go alone. 

That’s what she was currently doing now. A blanket spread out on the football field for her to sit on while another one covered her body from the slightly chilly fall air, her drink sat beside her as she shoveled a handful of popcorn into her mouth, the first movie of the night starting up, revealing that they would be watching IT, the newest release. She glanced up when she heard someone speak in a hushed whisper “Is this spot taken?” She quickly shook her head, moving her stuff over as she swallowed down her popcorn “No no go ahead... just in time you almost missed the opening!”

Ace grinned. “Friday is such a great day when you finish early. Haven’t known that feeling for years!”

It was nice to be somewhere that seemed frozen in time. No one was rushing around or shouting or talking excessively loudly like one might find in a cafe around the corner. It was a relief from the usual chaos of Ace’s life and nicer still that he had the opportunity to catch up with Annalise.

“I’d kill for a coffee,” he then added, taking his wallet from his jacket pocket. “In the biggest mug you have. I need it… As for that brownie, well, I’ll be honest, I’ve never been one to dabble in that sort of thing. Although I bet it’s far better for me than cigarettes; that’s something I’ve been meaning to curb. My mother would be disgusted with me.”

-

“Put that away... you know that your money is no good here.” She said with a shake of her head. That was the perks of owing your own business, friends got discounts or if they were lucky didn’t have to pay at all. She made a face when the man spoke of his cigarettes “And she would be one thousand percent valid in it.” She said shaking her head. 

“Wait you’re telling me that you’ve never dabbled in the cannabis world at all?” She questioned him “Like never smoked or anything?” She asked curiously. "Because let me tell you hun I could introduce you to a magical world my friend... if you want of course.” She said. Annalise would never pressure anyone into doing anything that they weren’t comfortable doing but if there had ever been a part of someone who wanted to try it but was to afraid or wasn’t sure how than she was all in. I mean who was better to smoke with for your first time than a certified specialist!

She walked over to where they kept the mugs once she started to brew a fresh pot of coffee, retrieving the largest mug that they had. “I mean I have some straight up chocolate brownies if you wanted one, the only thing that they will make you feel is straight happiness.” She laughed.

ravi glanced over at annalise and laughed, “clearly they arent your run of the mill everyday lesbians because their choice in women is ridiculous. you know i am not against any sort of age gap but when you set me up with one of your friends who is sixty i think i just draw the line. i love women, i do.” ravi admitted. “however i dont write off a family and i look for more of having my own children not preparing for grandchildren.” he had teased. 

he shook his head as he picked his glass up and took a larger gulp this time. “oh god no.” he admitted. “getting women in my bed for the night isnt really a problem. i know- shocking.” he admitted with a playfully grin. “i think it is more of a connection type thing. i dont even want to be going on these blind dates. ever since my divorce my mothers have been so persistent i find love again.” he groaned sitting the glass down. “enough of my pathetic love life. let’s talk about yours? tell me why again that you arent married yet?” he questioned though he knew more modern day the values were a lot different. he had jumped on board with how the world was going and while random hook ups had their fun, he did often miss intimate things such a conversations late at least.

-

Annalise couldn’t help but chuckle at Ravi’s declaration. “Yeah sixty might be a little up there on the age gap scale.” she couldn’t help but laugh at the children versus grandchildren argument. “A mean hey on the brightside you would be the finest looking grandfather at bring your grandparents to school day.” She laughed softly Annalise wasn’t sure herself if she planned to have children one day or not but she definitely wasn’t ready to be a grandmother by association by any means. 

Annalise nodded when he informed her that he didn’t have problems getting women into his bed, she wasn’t surprised because like she had mentioned before he was in fact a good looking man. She could understand the problem connecting though, she to struggled with that, it was why she was single for the most part and preferred to sleep around, it was easier for her that way, keep it strictly physical. She shifted a little in her seat when he turned the conversation around on her. Why she wasn’t married yet. She had been married once, a time that felt like a lifetime ago. Things just didn’t work out, then again when your forced to marry someone to appease your family it’s sort of doomed from the start isn’t it? “I discovered my sexuality late in life.” was the answer that she had opted for instead of trauma dumping on the man. She took a sip of her win with a shrug “Plenty of men and women to choose from, can’t deprive me of that now can I?”

ravi leaned back a little in the chair as he took a sip of his red merlot. he placed it down on the table before his attention was taken off the papers in front of him he had been grading. “i think this year is my worse group of students. i hate to be the guy that says it but i really think these kids are getting more stupid as the years go on… i blame it on technology. it is a curse and a blessing.” rav mentioned as he tucked them away and pulled his attention to the person across from him. “oh i didnt tell you-” he began. “my mothers have decided that they are going to start setting me up on dates.. imagine that, a 38 year old man needing his mothers help on pulling women.” he couldnt help but let a small chuckle fall from his lips. “i cant even begin to tell you the women so far they have set me up with.” he shook his head.

“Really?” Annalise questions as she raises an eyebrow at the man “I mean statistically lesbians are excellent when it comes to match making.” She hums with a shake of her head “Than again perhaps they’re choosing their own type which would mean you’d practically be dating your mother... either way you look at it.” She said crinkling her nose up at the fact before shaking her head. “Listen I could take a stab at it... I mean my own love life might be tragic but I can usually get a man or women in my bed effortlessly even if it’s only for the night. Ravi didn’t necessarily strike her as the one night stand type but on occasion everyone deserved a little fun even if it wasn’t anything serious. “A good time might get you to ease up on those kids... not everyone can be a genius like you.” She smiled. “Or if you would rather a similar method of relaxation I’m also in that business.” She laughed “Blunts, brownies, teas... you make it I can make it!”

“Damn it, I took my secret stash of brandy out of my bag,” he joked along with her. “I guess, we will have to settle for that chia tea. I’m offering.” JJ gave a smile. “Would you like some pie too? Cake?” he asked. “Uh, bit of both? I have always struggled with my sleep. Focus and attention thing. So I end up working late or playing video games late. You?”

-

“Damn it.” She said shaking her head “Isn’t that just how things tend to work out?” She questioned with a shake of her head before taking the seat next to him. “Well I’m a sucker for free stuff so I’m in.” She smiled. She chuckled when the man offered not only to buy her a tea but also a slice of dessert of her choosing. “Oh no I couldn’t... baked a fresh batch of brownies and cake pops before a left work today and I may or may not have dipped into my own supply... I’m all sweeted out but thank you.” She listened to him talk about his sleep habits and nodded along. “Well perhaps the thirteen cups of coffee and cake near midnight has something to do with that?” She asks. “Personally I don’t have a problem with sleep itself... in fact I would sleep all day long if I didn’t have commitments. However I like to spend my time doing things.” She shrugged “For example I just came from a nightclub down the road but it was pretty empty so it sorta felt more sad being there than anything.” She laughed “Figured I’d stop in for a coffee before either heading home for the night or finding my next adventure.”

aceharrowsmith​:

Ace took a seat as close as he could to Annalise and smiled. “No worries. I often get that sort of reaction. Water off a duck’s back now. Unfortunately the whole detective thing is kind of ingrained into me and there’s no way of getting it out. I seem to be intrigued by everything, even mundane stuff sometimes. Like… Don’t you feel it’s all a little strange today? It’s as though everyone’s gone somewhere and not let me in on the secret. At least back on New York I had paperwork to keep me busy… God, I never thought I’d miss that much paperwork.” He laughs. “You see, Annalise? That’s how you know it’s bad.”

Ace pauses and looks around. “Huh. Slow day for you, too?”

-

Annalise leaned over the counter, resting her chin on her hand as she listened to him, observing his posture as he spoke. It was refreshing to hear his take on things. Annalise had looked at the silence as boredom while he seemed to see it as an oddity in the world. “Yeah it’s a little slow in here today but that just means that I get to get off a little early and go and celebrate my Friday.” She smiled before moving over to where the water was boiling for her tea “I’m making some tea would you like some or coffee? Or perhaps a little brownie?” She asked raising an eyebrow “Help you to relax a little?” She asked. She was obviously referring to an edible... not sure if the man had ever partaken in smoking or anything along the lines. Looking at him she would guess no but you know what they say about judging magazines by their cover... or whatever the saying was.

[annalisesimon]

Do you think that aliens exist?

“I absolutely 110% without a doubt believe that aliens exist. I mean come on you’re telling me that in all of the galaxy you truly believe that Earth is the only place that is capable of nourishing a life form? I mean we don’t even know if aliens have the same genetical make up of us? Perhaps they need to breath in carbon dioxide or hydrogen instead of oxygen. Perhaps they don’t need water to flourish so all of these planets that we’ve deemed on fit for life could have organisms flourishing on them that we’ve missed. Hell there might be planets out there that we’ve never even seen! Sorry I went on a bit of a tangent there... yes I do believe in aliens but no I don’t believe that they are human looking creatures with large heads and beaty eyes, I believe they are more evolved than that. Oh and I know for a fact that they have samples of this species locked away in Area 51.”

Wake And Bake Dispensary and Cannabis Cafe

Midday

Closed @aceharrowsmith

The day had been dragging by. Perhaps it was do to the fact that two of her employees had called off and a third had opted into leaving early when they realized that it was bound to be a slow day. She was really just waiting now for the clock to tick to three so that she could close up early and go to grab a bite to eat. She was watching videos on her phone when the door opened, the bell above signaling that someone was entering her establishment. She slipped her phone into her pocket before standing up straighter and pasting a smile onto her lips “Welcome!” She said before her eyes landed on Ace.

“You know any other day I might have been a little alarmed with you entering my business, you know former detective and all.” She grinned “However these days my business is completely legal and professors don’t intimidate me the way that they used to.” She chuckled.

“I fell right into that one, didn’t I?” he laughed gently, giving a nod of his head. “Hmm, well, since I have two. I may share. Or I could buy you one of your choice?” J smiled. “Mine? Just milk. Or if I am feeling fancy a latte.”

-

“Well if we’re going for my choice I’ll skip the coffee and go straight for the brandy.” She hummed before breaking out in a smile “However seeing as this is a diner I would assume that it’s a ‘bring your own bottle’ type of deal.” She says, exasperating a sigh “I suppose that I’ll just take a chia tea if you’re offering.” She decided. “So what’s with the late night coffee break? Insomnia or are you working on something?”

“Yes, it’s almost midnight. And yes, I’m sitting here with two coffees. It’s the only way my brain can function,” JJ laughed, leaning back in his chair. “Don’t judge me,” he joked, his dark eyes glancing up at them. “Do you want to join me so I don’t look so sad?”

-

Oh honey I don’t think that me joining you would make you look less sad.” Annalise speaks, a hint of a smile present in her voice to allow the man to see that her words really don’t hold any truth to them, they’re all just in good fun. “Do I have to buy my own coffee or could you spare one for my company?” She asks raising an eyebrow before examining the beverages in front of him “How do you take your coffee anyways?”

Over the years Dela had made friends through her travels, especially the 3 years she’d exclusively and consistently traveled around the world. During said years, on a particular adventure, she’d met Annalise. The young woman had made a distinct impression on Dela when they met (all flirting aside), so the fact that they were able to stay friends through the years meant a lot to her. With the lack of family in her life, or rather family she was close to, friendships were a priority for her. So when they eventually parted ways, Dela made sure to keep in touch with her friend. She loved hearing about what was going on in Annalise’s life, the adventures she had…and looked forward to the next time they could have another of their own. Even going as far as sending the other woman postcards (because that’s just her thing).

Markets were something she’d grown fond of over in smaller towns and the outskirts of cities throughout Europe and the like. So whenever she could, Dela would venture into markets that she heard about. It gave her a bit of a reminiscent feeling, even just wandering the stalls. So when she happened to run across Annalise on her aimless stroll, the woman was quick to meet her friend half way for a hug. “Hey you,” Dela beamed, arms wrapping around the other’s torso in a snug squeeze. “How has my favorite beautiful business owner been?” She asked with a smirk, the question genuine despite the compliment woven in.

-

“Busy” She answered with a chuckle “But honestly never enjoyed what I’m doing more than I do now.” She smiled. “Plus being able to get high off of your own supply and write it off as testing it... grade a stoner trick.” She laughed with a shake of her head. In all honesty she was really enjoying running her own business. It was a new adventure, one that she was enjoying fully even if it had its ups and downs at time. “How about you?” She asked raising an eyebrow “Have you gotten that boss of yours to fall head over heels for you yet?” She questioned. The bond between the women and her boss had been something mentioned a time or two in texts and Annalise couldn’t understand what all the hold up was. Dela was a beautiful girl and if she really wanted something Annalise was sure that she could snag it in a heart beat. “Or have you decided to maybe go for one of the shmucks at the bar instead?

She turned back to the vender that she had been exchanging words with earlier in order to grad the fudgy cookie bar that she had just bought. She loved coming to these things and trying new foods to than attempt and replicate them into a cannabis infused version.

The Clarita Market

Morning

Closed @oliveirafm​

Friendships weren’t something that tended to last with Annalise once she picked up and moved from a place. It was just easier to leave the people who she had met at a specific spot in that spot after she was gone. Long distance was something that had never truly worked for her... relationships, friendships and family alike. However Dela had been an exception straight from the start. For example the first time they had met Annalise had been more than happy to flirt her butt off, which had only landed her a friend position. She was glad for that though once the two had learned just how similar they were. They kept in contact once Annalise left the area, most due to Dela’s constant calls and texts, wanting to hear about her newest adventures.

The Clarita Market had become a routine stop for Annalise in her everyday life. It didn’t matter if the market was inside or outside, rain or shine. She had to get her time in at the market or her week was in shambles. However what she hadn’t expected was to see Dela here as well. She walked up to the women with a smile going straight in for the hug “Hi hi.” She smiled. Annalise had known the women had moved to town, she had been sure to inform her the moment she made it into town, however with a busy schedule and opening her own business she hadn’t had the time to reach out and properly catch up with the women.
