happy life and valentine’s day, holroz! 20th journey around the sun is complete! Goofy shit aside, Ira, you are genuinely the longest friendship I've had. There is no one I gel with as much as I do with you. You have been my rock, and more often than not, my muse. I thank the universe every day that you had the gall to sneak out of a gala with a complete stranger, all those years ago. All this just to say, Happy Birthday, and I hope you keep me around to celebrate more with you. Love you, Ira.

STASIE “Boyfriend Forever” Lyrics & Meaning | Genius Verified
Anastasia laughs, "When I wrote this song, I wasn't even- wait- I was in a relationship. It was ok, not ideal but it is what it is. To this day, I can't remember how it started. We broke up last year, and I've been doing surprisingly good. Literally, never better."
Breakdown, I could it see coming for a while. Phased out, we got nothing left to reconcile. I thought, somehow off into the sun we'd be riding.
Anastasia sighs, "Basically, I kind of knew that it was time to stop. I knew for a while, but I wanted to keep those rose-tinted glasses on, you know."
But there was way too much he was hiding. And now you call me up, perfect timing, oh
"One of the reasons I accepted the break was, he treated me like a secret to be kept, which was crazy 'cause I met his parents. Right after we broke up, a friend of mine called me. It was perfect timing 'cause I desperately needed someone to talk to."
I've been good, passed every test. All my DMs, left them on read. Cooking, cleaning, a freak in bed. And this is what I get.
"I was good girlfriend. I did what just about every guy wants from their girl. But, I got jacksh*t in return. He couldn't respond yes or no to a f*cking dm."
I already decided that I'm cutting him off. He don't even know I got somebody lined up. Should feel bad but I don't. 'Cause I know, I know, I know.
"That second line I wrote just to like piss him off, but it's also kind of true. Like I had multiple people in my DMs, asking when I was gonna drop him. F*cking [redacted] was in my DMs! But, I'm loyal girl, so..."
He won't be my boyfriend forever (Why don't we catch up?). You said I deserve someone better (Could you be that one?). I been tryna cut those ties, you could be the reason why, ooh. He won't be my boyfriend, he won't be my boyfriend forever.
"Obviously," Anastasia shrugged. "We're done. The "Why don't we catch up?" was a DM that I got from [redacted]. We went on a few dates, but friendship was enough for us."
Girls don't cheat, no we just need love. This ain't cheating, just drinks and stuff.
"Disclaimer! Some girls do cheat, ok. It's just a lyric. Don't shoot me. And! Drinks and stuff was a hangout with friends. It wasn't just me alone with another man."
Can't lie, he gives me a rush. But wait until I end it, ha, look, don't touch.
"Although it was drinks with friends, we did have some moments. I was nice to be seen and listened to, but I didn't let it become something it wasn't. I'm not that kind of girl."
It's just like waiting for the bus. Give it five minutes, another one's coming.
"Basically, a break up is like waiting for the bus. When the next one leaves, it doesn't take long for another one to show up. At least, that's how I see it."
Boys aren't forever, they change like the weather. He couldn't measure, I found his successor.
"In every sense, boys are like the weather. They come and go. They can be the perfect boy at first, and then do a complete 180. He became someone that I didn't like, so I found someone better. Metaphorically, of course."
Roll credits
"The first person to listen to this song was Scott, my dad. He enjoyed it. He said that the "freak in bed" part wasn't needed. I digress, but I'm glad that he liked it because I always look for his smile whatever I do something. Kip fucking loved it. When it first released, he played it non-stop at the bar he works at. I love Kip, he's so c*nt."
cara's notes: who do you guys think redacted is? I will tell you, it's a hockey player.
do you think ilya and shane would hyphenate their last names, or which would be more willing to drop their last name? because Ira (oc) has both of their names as a way to honor them, rather than just going by hollander or rozanov.
cara's notes: i just stole some stats from an actual rockland player, 'cause i don't know shit about hockey. and the last time i fully watched a game was when the Washington Capitals won the Stanley Cup in 2018, which my dad was insufferable about.
Scott Hunter's daughter, Anastasia Hunter, and Ira Hollander-Rozanov, son of Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, were seen leaving the annual Irina Foundation gala. Could this be another it-couple in the making?

🎤🏒🎤🏒
July 2022.
Anastasia and Ira had successfully snuck out of the gala. Ira's bowtie was choking him, and galas are not Anastasia's kind of party.
"So... was music something that you always wanted to do?" Ira asked, watching Anastasia take off her heels.
"Not-not really. Growing up with Scott, hockey was kind of a fixed variable in my life. Tried it when I was younger. Enjoyed it, but you know, when you're a kid, your interests in things bounce around."
Ira chuckles, "That's interesting. It was the opposite for me."
Anastasia looks at him in disbelief, "Really? All of the guys I know had hockey running through their veins. Practically in their DNA."
Ira runs his hand through his hair, "My father was a songwriter, mainly for commercials, but it made an impression on me. On my birthday,” his eyes glazed over. “they got me a drum set. I loved that thing. Once I went into the system, they told me it was pawned off. So, hockey was the next best thing, I guess.”
Anastasia frowns, “do you miss it?”
“Everyday,” Ira sniffs.
Anastasia smirks, “Well, if you ever feel like playing again, I’ll fly you out to New York. Show you my studio.”
Ira smiles, “I’d like that.”
cara’s notes: this is short as hell, but I get awkward writing meet-cutes so I did this instead.

cara's notes: you guys should listen to all of these songs/albums. they're bangers!! also ntm on the 2 releases a year, girly was getting her education
disclaimer: this fancast is based on appearance and acting ability. This will include not only the og 4 four but some of the Bratz Boyz as well. this is all my own opinion, and hate comments will be deleted!
OG Girls
Lovie Simone as Sasha
Based on her performance in Forever, alone. To me, Lovie Simone is a viable candidate to play Sasha. Also, in later adaptations and in the main Bratz series, Sasha is more darkskinned.
Meg Donnelly as Cloe
This casting is mostly based on her performance as Taylor in American Housewife. So, she definitely has the acting down. Meg is also blonde and blue-eyed, like how Cloe is portrayed.
Ashley Liao/Minnie Mills as Jade
When doing some research on Jade, her ethnicity is East Asian. In one iteration, she's described as having Korean parents from London. In the 2007 live-action film, she's half Chinese and half Caucasian, so I chose two potential fancasts based on that. I loved Ashley in TBOSAS and Minnie in TSITP.
Isabella Ferreira as Yasmin
Yasmin's ethnicity is a very talked-about subject. Some say she's Latina, others say she's Persian. When I looked it up, it said she was half Puerto Rican and half Iranian. I don't know if that's true, so I just went the Puerto Rican route. I loved her in Love, Victor.
Bratz Boys
Mekonnen Knife as Dylan
I fucking love Mekonnen!! The animators made Dylan darkskin on the Bratz talk show, and I have been a darkskinned Dylan truther since. Also, Dylan is wild af, and Mekonnen can most definitely portray that. I mean, look at the pic!!
Christopher Briney as Cameron
I know. I know. Cameron's blonde. However, I honestly believe that Chris is best for the role. He was perfect in TSITP, and I liked him in Dalíland. I will say, for full transparency, this is somewhat biased because I love him.
Dallas Liu as Eitan
Dallas is who comes to mind whenever I think about Eitan. Eitan is asian, but it's never specified which race of asian he is. So, I just picked Dallas because Eitan was also like the cool one, or I thought he was the coolest, at least. Eitan is not a character that we see much of in the Bratz universe, but that's why I included him in this.
cara's notes: this was just something that was on my mind since last night, and I just had to tell somebody, so why not tumblr.
Name: Anastasia Hunter (fc: Savanna Collins of GIRLSET)
Age: 20 (2006)
Race: Biracial
Ethnicity: African-American
Occupation: Musical Artist (active since 2022)
Born to a long-time friend of hockey legend, Scott Hunter, Anastasia Hunter grew up around hockey. Raised by Scott from age 13, she was always pushed to do whatever her heart desired. She did a small stint in hockey when she was younger, then figure skating, fashion design, and culinary arts, before her heart eventually set on music.
cara's notes: no one can convince me that Scott and Kip wouldn't be the ultimate girldads. i was kind of rushing to get this out, so if anyone wants to clock me on my math, i welcome you. also, do not ask me what happened to her bio parents, cause i do not know
I love that!! they could have adopted her after something happened to her parents.maybe thats one of the reason they chose to adopt her Scott feeling a kinship since be went through the same thing
