WE THE NORTH WEEK 2021 - DAY 007

↬ comfort = visar↫

this probably isn’t a surprise to anyone and it was the first prompt that i knew what i was doing. however. i have tried to write this blurb 184629 times so here we go again.

first, i love this ship and here is how it could have fit in all previous six categories:

HAPPINESS ✔

i don’t think anyone can understand just how happy o am to reply to a visar tag or how happy getting sent some inspo or just talking about these boys make me. even when i’m upset with them i love to get the tag

PAIN ✔

lol do i even have to say anything here? but oh my god do these two cause me pain. they most recently cause me pain i knew was coming when they fought and tez said the L word. and then the other night in my dm’s.

EXCITEMENT ✔

they bring me such excitement. it happens when i see vince’s gif in my alerts or when elle makes me graphics (watch out i can manip now). i get excited when other people compliment them or yell at us about them.

SADNESS ✔

i’m so sad for them, right now because of what vince is going through. but because they’ve never on the same page. mostly though vince makes me sad because of the way he feels because of how he’s been treated by tez. it breaks my heart especially when he didn’t believe that’s how tez felt. leave me here to die.

RELEVANCE ✔

i think their story is a relevant one. they’ve got their own problems, they are fundamentally different from one another (that is not a problem despite times vince thought/thinks it is). they come from two different backgrounds. they’re dealing with relevant topics and they navigate them some times together but also apart on the way they’re affected personally.

INNOVATION ✔

i’m tying this into the reason that they’re relevant. because of what elle and i have them tackle. the fact that this isn’t an easy story to tell even though the environment they’re in is a more tolerable now as a whole. they don’t take a typical route you see with this dynamic. but they’re innovative too because they are that mlm couple that stuck first and i’m glad to have helped elle get that because i saw her trying.

C O M F O R T

now, it’s time for me to gush about my ship, about my boys and my main man. comfort was the only actual option for this ship, for these characters. life is full of ups and downs, highs and lows and everyone has something that brings them comfort during those times. where they search for the thing that will make them feel better and more themselves again. VISAR is my comfort. it does not matter where i am or what i’m feeling i am ALWAYS in the mood for visar. i’m always ready to talk about them, to write about them. my mood is instantly lifted by this ship but even if it’s not nothing gets in the way of me writing replies to vince from tez. i’m pretty sure i’m thinking about them all the time (it might not help that my favourite music genre is sad songs and sad songs embody visar). this ship means so much to me, i adore it and i could talk about it for hours. i love tez, he is my comfort character, i’m very protective of him and the story i’m telling with him.

but if we’re being honest, this ship wouldn’t be what it is without elle and vince. it was elle’s request and when i say it got me because of the word “criminal” that’s not exactly accurate. i mean it did. but the other part of that was vince. i. love. vince. i’m so glad this because an otp rather than a stepping stone. i knew him before he was vince but i think he’s perfect as the man he is now. he is not perfect and elle has worked hard on his character and making sure that he doesn’t fall into certain stereotypes and it’s no surprise she does that so well. but he’s so just so perfect. like that whole thing where people are like “not all men” and i’m like “you’re right, vincent armstrong would never”. i would die for this man, i will forever yell at elle because he is NOT easy and he is NOT naive or gullible. vince is one of my all time favourite characters. i love reading him, and i think he doesn’t get enough appreciation in the way that he deserves. elle said earlier in the week he’s thought of in conjecture with others but know thats never the case with me, he's got a whole part of my head that he occupies by himself. vincent armstrong is a gift. i love the way vince sees the world and i hate that it’s been jaded because of tez. but i love how it’s given him this perspective to realize it’s okay to be selfish.

i can’t wait to explore how tez is going to prove that he’s actually in love with vince so that it’s not just seen as a ploy. this ship just gives me so many feelings in all their different dynamics and i could go on and on and on. and i’m so happy that my writing partner gets excited about them, i think that’s what makes them a joy to write even when they’re hurting us and we send one another crying gifs.

i love them together. i love them separately from one another. so here’s a list of my favourite things you might not of picked up on but should be aware of. (this is not a complete list obviously)

their aesthetic (big men soft for one another)

their pet names

sunshine & grumpy

vince is tez’s exception

they’re almost always hot for one another

vince’s desire to protect tez

their passion, their emotion

their authenticity

talking with elle past bedtime about them

writing them with @ellectricmuse

thanks for giving me this comfort (when i separated the word up there i realized fort is part of comfort and tbh i get it, bc this ship wraps me up and gives a layer of protection when i need it just like forts are suppose to). if you thought this wasn't going to be a long one you've never seen me give elle a 2k tez reply in a visar thread ✌️

WE THE NORTH WEEK 2K21 - DAY 006

↬ innovation = haley ↫

i picked this early on and then i thought i wasn't thinking about this right and then i realized i was and so i came back to this. i did not fit all of @charlieweasleyy's characters on here because i could barely fit the four. have you ever noticed how muscians suck in the image department, no? just me? okay then. moving on

*barney stintson voice* have you met haley? i'm sure you have because she's everywhere and she's friendly and lovely and honestly one of the best people (even tho she got me in a lot of trouble this week). i thought about putting haley for relevance a time or two while i was struggling with that prompt BUT i feel like she paves the way which lead me back to keeping her characters in this position. buckle up bc this is going to get long again.

lets get this party started (haley can correct me on anything i say that's not accurate)

James was one of my first favourite characters on the site, which everyone knows because you've heard me gush about him every appreciate week in june since i joined and prob at any given moment elsewhere. and i love what haley is doing with him, the story that she's telling with him, the way he's changing and the way he's seeing the world is evolving and its not because of the fact that he's married to prudence. but its because of the way the world sees and treats him, some times its got me cheering while reading and other times i feel incredibly sad about it. he's not the only black character on the site but he's the most involved in the social issues (i could be wrong and if i am, apologies) and i am excited to be joining haley with that. everyone got their characters involved in BLM last year, but since that moment i've heard haley talk about how she wants to keep doing things like that with james. i've wanted an activist character for a while now (i get that itch specifically around june yearly because of a show i watch every june) and i felt like james' estrange cousin was my best opportunity.

Then there is Hakim, who admitted i wasn't as aware of (as well as i could have been) until i made his sister Pari. and haley came at me with all these thoughts and head canons of the family and everything that she'd thought about with hakim which, i played myself because i love this character so much more now and all he does is hurt me. she popped into a group chat of the siblings and proposed a ramadan thread idea and then another but followed it up with like 1298742190 other links so that we could be informed while we were writing it. those links came in during the span it took me to find a single article. and it helped me flesh out pari a bit more and figure out how i wanted to shape her as a mix of tradition beliefs and non traditional. i just love this family and he's one of my favourite characters to read.

Mitch is a character i know i would struggle with, that rang true more so when we were not a site in canada. (idk if you've all seen my little breakdown about the *voices in your head* concept but sometimes separating me from characters isn't always easy. ) but she does it with such grace and respect, mitch could be seen as just a one dimensional character because we all seem to just write off conservatives. not to mention haley made a cop during the current climate. while i think that is valid at times, political stance doesn't always equal personality or mean that a person embodies everything of that political party (maybe its a privilege of living in canada where our conservatives are progressive idk dont @ me, let me gush in peace) and i think that's well represented in mitch. he has his beliefs, he has put his foot in his mouth and he married someone that can call him out when needed. but he's such a good person despite in his faults or in spite of them. the way haley approaches him is lovely. i can't wait to see the growth with mitch over the next few years, some of what i know, others which i don't which is always exciting to see unfold.

Sierra, i've loved them for a while like love love loved them and i could not think of ways to get plots with them that would span more than a thread and i was frustrated. one day we will get a ship (i tried with sierra but alas the stars did not align but that's okay) having them become part of tez's little crew has been one of my favourite things, i love the dynamic between them. but i did have a brief moment in 2040 where i had a friends to lovers sort of ship with sadie who was trans and haley didn't even think about it, like it was just a natural decision for her. which is the way it should be. so i was not at all surprised when sierra became non binary in like six hours of the news breaking and how haley just went about that whole process in a day. and i haven't been able to stop thinking about it and how its got me thinking about something similar.

a lot of things i've seen in haley's writing has inspired me to be more like haley. to take more chances. i wish i could think like her so i think my goal for year six is going to be simple. i'm going to approach it with:

WWHD?

what would haley do, and then act accordingly. but i think she's always going to be at the forefront of innovative ideas on the site and i love to see it. even more, i'm glad i get to be part of it at times. that was a lot, thanks for coming to my "all about haley" talk.

WE THE NORTH WEEK 2K21 - DAY 005

↬ relevance = gregory & cesar ↫

i struggled and struggled with this prompt more than any of the others which has me thinking i need to do some more with all my characters when it comes to relevancy. it also has me cheating on this day and that's fine. edit #1: this is long and i'm sorry edit #2: idk if i'm happy with this.

under the cut bc its long as fuck you'll read about reggie and then you'll read about tez.

first up: reggie. i've got three reasons why i think he's relevant, a character i dont think a lot of people know a lot about. so here you go.

1) he's himself - he is so unapologetically himself, in part because he's not exactly sure how to be any other way. but he kind of emobides that sense of awkwardness and not fitting in that people have. often that's seen as the thing that's not normal. but it should be normalized, not everyone is extroverted, not everyone picks up on every social cue that there is. some people get nervous easily, etc. reggie is brilliant but lacks in elsewehre. he is aware of how he comes off to people or how they might view him. he views them as unaccepting or intolerable. while he knows he has his own flaws, he considers it the other persons problem when they have an issue with who he is. i think its important to showcase self acceptance even when you don't check all the typical standards.

2) realism - at least to me. he is someone that should be difficult to plot or difficult to thread. but this is a real life site, you don't get to avoid people and every situation that might make you uncomfortable in real life. therefore i've never done that with reggie. i've put him in situations that he wouldn't want to be in or wouldn't like and he has had to adapt even though he doesn't like change. he's put his foot in his mouth many times and he's dealt with the fall out from that. reggie has feelings for two people and he doesn't know what exactly to do with that information. for someone so smart, he doesn't know a lot.

3) lost - he doesn't know where he's going in his career, he doesn't know what he's doing after having graduated. he's in that position that a lot of university grads are in these days. where he's struggling after getting an education, one that he was likely pushed towards because there's this idea that somehow having a university degree makes a person more hireable or puts them in higher standings. so he's just in this limbo with his mechanic job looking for something more suitable for him that so many people can relate to. i also think he's got this feeling because he's still figuring out certain aspects of who he is and what his life looks like in relatio

next up: a character you all know, tez. i almost didn't include him but i think i would have regretted it. it felt off not including him. i feel like tez's coming out story is relevant and will be until the LGBTQIA community feels like there'rs no longer reasons to hide their truth.

but this is something that i've worked on for two years, almost three. i had to adjust it a little for the move to canada but that's besides the point. because essentially, his being in the closet has to do with fear over anything else because of what happened when he was seventeen. and that fear was just fed by the homophobia he encountered for two decades. this fear is standing in the way of the only thing he's wanted for twenty years, the thing that he's jealous of other people for: freedom. and it hasn't been an easy journey for him. every time something spooked him and caused the fear to run rampant in him creating the worst case thoughts, his survival instincts kicked him. he protected himself above anyone else.

that has changed. he's going through this transformation of acceptance that started when he told his best friend, who is like a brother to him, that he was gay. he told a woman whose like a mother to him that he's seeing a man. and when his brother accidentally found out he's gay, instead of running from, he ran to vince. he's had steps forwards and several back. he has a little group of friends in the community, its the first time he's actually put himself in those spaces (shout out to kat for making me so happy by putting dhani in this little group)

tez is at that point i think people can relate to in general, when living some sort of lie. he's exhausted, he's frustrated and he's ready. but facing fears even when ready isn't easy and this isn't something he can just state on a random tuesday by dropping by his mothers. i've wanted to make sure that i do this story justice without rushing through it. and i could not have done it without the help of my writing partners who are amazing and there are too many connected to tez but know i apprecaite each of you.

WE THE NORTH WEEK 2K21 - DAY 004

↬ sadness = henlia ↫

*cries and cries and cries... and then cries some more*

honestly. this whole story. the path of henry and talia, of the bell-armstrongs and armstrongs to get to this point was such a great story, it was such a great rallying amongst players to figure out how to get it donewhen characters were left in a lurch. talia went through some revamps, henry switched a couple of jobs. but they found their final forms. the badass record exec and the wholesome author, both raising such a great family as part of a great family.

family dynamics are underrated a lot in rp but its not underrated at all on wtn which i think is great. that the site builds off more than just romantic relationships. (i know i'm raving a lot about elle this year but she deserves it) but this was a ship that was essentially something she was doing on her own with a couple of people who would step in to write henry when he was needed. henry would be there with friends and family too. he helped develop plots, helped to get them to where they needed to be so that there was no scrambling. so there was no waiting for someone to take an ad when the bell-armstrongs were left without a patriarch. and i think that's something so lovely about this site as well.

i think there are two reasons that henlia is sadness for me this year. its not only because henry died and that everything thread i read or am apart of breaks my heart with the emotional depth from everyone involved. it hurts so much to read talia, hudson, sienna, vince, nick and samson. it hurts my heart to write tez having to watch it all unfold with vince and emilia. they were my pain prompt because it doesn't hurt the same way when something is so immensely sad and the way it just makes you want to cry, it just breaks you. and this isn't something that's going to go away, its going to stick with these characters and shape them. a son, a brother, a father, a husband, a good man. all of it, affected so many people on the site. i personally have three at least, who will feel this in some way for years to come.

i was on the edge of my seat with zelda/henry/simon and then it got sad and i cried. and then there was the talia/zelda thread which ruins me. my heart hurts. dont get me started on the bell-armstrongs thread (i cried just this morning at 5am) or the cortez-armstrong one. elle, devv and kat, are doing something so good with the brothers too i just can't. i know emma has some out there that i haven't ventured to yet. and there's so much more. i’m in for the long run with plot and it’s shock waves.

everyone has written such beautifully sad posts about this, but talia really makes me hurt. and i think this is because i've spent a couple years at this point writing henry, falling in love with henry and falling in love with how much henry was in love with talia and how much she loved him. he technically wasn't my character, but i call a third of him mine, he's in my drop down menu. so there's this connection that i have to him and its sad to see him pass on. one of my favourite things to write with henry was his love for talia, its the kind of love you want for yourself. which tbh i played myself because it made this hurt all the more. i've known this was coming, to some degree but it didn't make it any easier at all. i feel like i'm going through the stages of grief along with these characters.

thanks to @ellectricmuse for letting me be a part of this journey. shout out to @charlieweasleyy and @the-dcrkling for helping to make henry the man he was. and if any of the armstrongs/bell-armstrongs need anything i've got chars that are here for you.
