how do you feel about your scottish accent? do you think it gets you places in america, or do you think americans hate you for it?
“ i dinna really have an opinion on it mysel’, but i find that others either love it an’ think it’s endearing.. or they hate it wi’ everything they’ve got. there isn’a much of a grey area from what i’ve heard. i do find that i have te’ repeat mysel’ often enough that i figure it’d be easier if i didna have it, though. ”
val balances a plate in one hand while holding a small glass of juice in the other, brown orbs scanning the array of festive food to pick from. “i’m actually not the biggest fan of turkey,” she shares with the person standing next to her, “but all the other thanksgiving fixins’ i’m good with. mash potatoes, gravy, corn, green beans, stuffing, sign me up, baby !! what about you ?? anything caught your eye ??”
" ‘ve never actually participated in the whole ‘ thanksgiving ’ spread, so i’m no familiar wi’ all the dishes. fer example, what the devil is stuffing? ” he eyed the mash with mistrust, almost willing it to move on it’s own. “ i cannae say that wobbly red shite looks verra appetizin’, either. ‘s it supposed te’ be gelatin? fruit? i cannae fer the life o’ me tell, but i cannae imagine eating it. ”
the mural before her appears intimidating – its expansive sea of white yet to be entirely filled with everyone’s gratitude. her teeth sink into her bottom lip as she thinks about what she is thankful for. eyeing what has already been written poisons her grateful heart – mentions of family serving as a reminder of what she doesn’t have to thank this year. noticing a familiar face beside her, ariadna curiously asks, “ do you have an answer for the question of the day ? ”
he hadn’t planned on participating much in the festivities at all, especially the ones that encouraged you to reminisce and think so deeply over the family he hadn’t had for so long. in fact, the only thing keeping him from walking right by is some of the only family he’s known — ariadna. “ mm, i think this year i’m grateful fer my bonnie blue eyes. ” hands in his pockets, he grinned down at her, nudging her with his elbow.
“You know, a little pouting here and there,” she responded genuinely, nudging his side with her elbow playfully because she knew how often she had given him the puppy eyes when it came to what movie to watch or where to go to hang out. She did love pleasing people and making them happy but whenever her brain was set on a thing, she would go far to achieve it. “ Oh my god, I look ridiculous ! ” A loud laugh was coaxed ou of her once she looked towards the small screen in the booth. “Let’s take two silly ones and the rest we’ll actually try.”
his eyes dropped to her mouth as she spoke, knowing better than most the persuasive power of said pout when in full force, should her motivation be serious or trivial. “ och, yes, how could i forget? ” he grinned widely at her laugh, her joy infectious in it’s sincerity. “ ye’ look verra bonnie, i assure ye’; glasses an’ all. ” nodding in agreement, he obligingly did as she suggested, pulling ridiculous faces between the first and second flashes. before the third, he pulled her closer and grinned widely, pressing his lips to her cheek for the fourth, smiling all the time.
you’d think she’d get mad, but really a brow just raised in amusement as he settled himself down across from her. “you think i’m unapproachable?” the strawberry blonde grinned as if he complimented her. “really?” her smile only grew, though she was being the utmost level of sarcastic that her body could manage. “that’s so sweet of you to say. unfortunately, i’m not taking on any new protégés at the moment.” though the male looked rather familiar, she took note of the greek life sticker on his laptop, “huh, frat boy, eh ? i’d think you’d like to take into the festivities outside?” her curiosity getting the better of her in the moment.
grin widening, he rested his chin on his fist, brows raised at her amusing reaction. “ oh, wi’out a doubt. ” he couldn’t say what it was about her words that really just made his funny bone practically itch with the urge to send him into hysterics, but he forced himself not to laugh in her face outright. “ ‘s a shame, lass — people would likely pay good money te’ exude the sheer number o’ subtle hints of ‘ fuck off ’ ye’ manage. ” shrugging nonchalantly, kenneth leaned back in his seat, crossing his arms over his chest. “ i’ll likely be roped inta’ one or another of ‘em, te’ be sure, but taking inta’ account that i’m no an american, the lads generally dinnae force me te’ celebrate te’ excess. ”
“Truther,” she corrected, shortly followed by a small snicker escaping her lips. “I only flatter people when I don’t get what I want,” she added playfully, the wide smile barely ever leaving her features. “ Oh ! There are props – look,” she called out while pointing towards a box with plenty of different items. “ You know what would make you look even better ? ” She spoke while reaching down to gather a cowboy head and placed it on his head. “That’s a look if I’ve ever seen one.”
“ is that so? ” he murmured, raising a brow skeptically, wondering just how dangerous she might be if she chose to actively attempt to get what she wanted ( from him or from anyone else, for that matter ). he took the hat good-naturedly, smirking at the irony of her branding him a cowboy, in turn fishing the oversize, neon green sunglasses from the bottom of the box and placing them on her nose with a flourish. “ well, now, aren’t we a pair? ”
She was typing away at her keys, taking herself away from the loud noise of the main hall. Thanksgiving was a holiday she never partook in and didn’t see much of a reason to even now. There were more important things that needed to be done, like this research paper. The presence of someone took her mind off the black and white of her screen, though her eyes didn’t follow, “All of the events are in the main hall.” Sloane stated bluntly, her fingers still at a standard pace in her typing. It wouldn’t be the first time someone confused her little set up for mason jar decorating or the mural.

laptop tucked under one arm and his backpack hanging haphazard over one shoulder, he couldn’t help but laugh at sloane’s obvious disdain for company. “ oh, aye? ” perching himself in the chair opposite her, he grinned cheerily and began setting up his own study station. “ i’ll be sure te’ keep my distance, then. wouldn’a want te’ give anyone the impression that i’m interested in group activities, huh? i mean, ye’ seem te’ excel at the whole ‘ unapproachable ’ thing, so i figured you’d mos’ likely be the best source te’ get some lessons. ”
A beaming smile appeared on her lips when he immediately agreed, hand reaching for his arm to give it a gentle squeeze. “I don’t think I tell you often enough that you’re one of my favorite people,” she cooed before stepping into the tiny space and scooting over so his tall figure could fit too. “Don’t hit your head,” she warned while sitting down on the stool. “You can keep the nicest one. I prefer the memory over actually looking good.”
a slow grin spread across his face, a foreign ( well, not as far as she was concerned ) warmth spreading in the pit of his stomach at her words. “ flatterer. ” ducking his head to avoid collision in heed of her warning, he slid int he seat next to her, resting his arm behind her in an attempt to get as comfortable in the cramped space as possible. “ ‘s like ye’ dinnae know me at all, lu, ” he teased, flashing his teeth as he smiled. “ i always look good; an’ yes, that extends to anyone wi’ me, so ye’ will, too. ”
“Okay, this is super cliche,” Luana started off, a pleading smile on her face as she turned to face the other. “ – but the photo booth isn’t there for nothing so it’s basically our duty to go inside and take a few pictures,” she suggested, hoping that they were up for it. “I swear I’ll even hang them up in my room if they’re ugly.”
" och, ye’ dinnae need te’ convince me, “ he insisted, reaching around her to pull the curtain away, gesturing gallantly with his free hand for her to precede him inside. “ jus’ promise i’ll get te’ keep at least one of ‘em fer myself — ugly or no. ”

ken’s pinterest: here!
( thomas doherty, cismale ) did you hear how KENNETH FRASER is applying to columbia university as a MARKETING major ?! the TWENTY-TWO year old is living in CARLTON ARMS. i heard that they got in because they are +LOYAL and +DYNAMIC, but honestly i think HE can be -SELF-IMPORTANT and -RECKLESS. they’re a real CASTLE-BUILDER. oh well, only time will tell if the SENIOR will make it til the end.
+ rumpled bed sheets, swim trunks, sunglasses, lazy smiles, silver flasks, sleeping late, large dogs, loud laughter, warm evenings, chocolate ice cream, early morning fog, bad horror films, fireflies, late night swims, whispered promises, outlandish stories, churros & the longest day of the year
OKAY, so, this is kenneth & full disclaimer i don’t know Shit about scotland .. i’m basing all my knowledge on uhh outlander and youtubers and thomas’s slight accent so please dont @ me for my shit knowledge/accent okay im Trying !!! anyways, down to business!
kenneth was born in inverness, scotland ( s/o to the highland cows xx ) to two school teachers. they didn’t have much in the way of money, but they were happy, content. he was fourteen when they got into a car accident, leaving him orphaned and living with his uncle?? #1 horse breeded in the highlands? SHEW! love a farm boy!! anyways .. when he went to live with his uncle, everything was ?? so different !! suddenly he was living a life of luxury with a home tutor and shit like that so he was like ... bitch what??? anyways yeah it was a Culture Shock but lk his fav thing abt it was the horses imma choke i love an animal lover kids!
he was always a pretty good kid, staying out of serious trouble and keeping away from the wrong crowd, but he let himself slip when his new rich friends were like pressuring him into drinking a lot and doing recreational rich white people drugs like cocaine ygm? he started drinking to excess and staying out partying at all hours of the night, basically just stressing the fuck out of his uncle lmao!!
despite this hes always been really close with his uncle and their favorite thing to do has always been to take they horses out and basically live that Country Life tbh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ a healthy familial relationship? lmao who do i think i am
SO this led to him spending most of his time outdoors and kinda secluded despite his so called ‘ friends ’ who lived in edinburgh ( choke thanks! ). when he graduated high school, he wasn’t interested in college much tbh?? he was all set to take over his uncle’s business and its all he ever really wanted to do, but his uncle was like AHA thassa joke m8 and made it so he couldnt inherit it until he had a degree !! SO at first he was just going with the motions of college but its honestly .. such a good time and hes so glad he was forced to go lmao catch him happy to go to class like a lunatic
he’s a marketing major cos it’ll help him with the running of his uncle’s business ( which he plans to branch out to the rest of scotland and then maybe the us if he gets the opportunity ) and he highkey loves it? hes v much a people person like him being alone? unrealistic! he thrives in crowds and around other people so!
yall seen neighbors? zac efron? mhm … that’s kenneth but less douchey ;) he’s also a big time frat guy like OBVIOUSLY he needs constant companionship and attnetion like the Child he is so bvifjnc he’s a walking stereotype yikes.png .. walking around campus like a fuckin moron.. sunglasses and a wide ass grin GOD i Hate Him bgvfjcnkm
he’s a nice guy i PROMISE !! just a bit cocky like flashes smug grins, winks, flirts like theres no gd tomorrow??? but hes lowkey?? insatiable !! and highkey insufferable vfujnd always wanting more and more from life and gets bored really easily .. fickle ass kenneth im Sorry in advance :/
okay so that’s kinda contradictory with how i said he’s loyal but Let Me Explain! he’s very loyal to his friends and family, the few people he really and truly cares about okay !! it’s with like romantic/sexual relationships where hes a bit.. unreliable Yikes
That Said he’s never had any serious girlfriends due to this and it leads him to be emotionally distant, more likely to avoid them at all costs tbh .. just to have fun and live life to the fullest so expect him to brush everything off with a wink and a wry joke
uhh i was literally making this up as i went so lol !! i prolly forgot? a lot!! but anyways ion got any wc’s because im Lazy and my creativity just doesnt extend to plots so.. hmu on chats if u wanna plot w/ me !! xx
