When you drop off Lizzy in the daycare at the college does she ever get upset not wanting to be away from you?
C: Here’s the thing.... whenever we leave Lizzy with my mom or with Zoe or Jared she gets excited and happy you know?
C: When it comes to the daycare on college campus she tends to... freak out. She’ll scream until her face is red and it breaks my heart every time so we try not to leave her there, but my mom isn’t always available and neither is Zoe or Jared.
E: We’ve tried leaving her with her favorite stuffed animal but that only does so much.
C: Its weird because she doesn’t freak out around Larry despite the fact she rarely sees him, we can leave her with him and she doesn’t freak out like she does at the daycare.
Haha time for some angsty little headcanons for little Lizzy:
Ok so I know Lizzy was from like a magic Anon and whatever but I’ve decided to give her a bit more background than that because why not. Anyway I like to think that Lizzy has Synesthesia more specifically Chromesthasia and that basically means that whenever she hears sounds certain shapes and colors come along with it. Like a slamming door makes a jagged bright red shape and a jingling wind chime makes overlapping light yellow circles. Things like that.
Moving on, the other day while drawing this I made myself sad by making a little backstory for Lizzy and the night she ended up on Evan and Connors doorstep.
Basically Lizzy’s mom is a teen mom who had to give up Lizzy because she had to run away from home and she didn’t wanna take Lizzy with her because she didn’t wanna drag a baby into her mess. So leaves Lizzy on the doorstep and as she’s getting ready to knock on Evan and Connors door she look at lil baby Lizzy and with a tearful expression tells her:
“I’m sorry sweetie, but I can’t take you with me.”
And like I said the lil baby has Chromesthesia and whenever her mama talks she sees these pretty pink waves that change width and shade with every inflection of her mama’s voice. She associates that shade of pink with her mom, and even though she doesn’t understand what’s being said to her that phrase has been associated with no more mama, no more pretty pink waves.
So whenever she’s left at the daycare and either Con or Ev say this phrase trying to reason with a crying infant (toddler?) it just freaks her out more. It doesn’t help that her mama looked like a mixture of her new dads just with green eyes. So when she looks at em she’s sees a bit of mama. She’s also grown accustomed to seeing her dads colors when they talk.
Evan is lines of sky blue that twirl and swirl around themselves and Connor is ripples of deep reddish purple that bends the space around him.
Connors family have similar colors but different shapes but the color let Lizzy know they’re family. Same goes for Heidi. For Jared it’s the funny shapes his voice makes that leave Lizzy giggly and happy and for Alana it’s the softness of the color in her voice.
I dunno maybe this is cheesy or like dumb y’all tell me.
