[lighthousehq]

[lighthousehq]

what fcs did everyone use? for my imagination

henri   is   timothee  chalamet,   theo   is   aron   piper,   thalia   is   lana   condor,   and   alina   is   kristine   froseth !

[lighthousehq]

                          are   you   ready   for   the   hunt ?

 we’ve   said   this   god   knows   how   many   times,   but   thank   you   all   again   for   putting   so   much   heart   into   your   apps   and   this   group .      we   had   some   super   tough   decisions   to   make,   and   in   the   case   of   each   skeleton,   it   constantly   came   down   to   two   apps   that   we   would   end   up   debating   between .     if   we   could   find   a   way   to   get   all   of   y’all   involved,   we   would   (  and   like   we   mentioned,   you   might   just   have   to   keep   an   eye   out   for   season   two  ).

 we’ve   kept   you   all   waiting   long   enough,   so   below   the   cut   is   a   brief   paragraph   from   us   on   why   we   chose   each   app !      you   all   have   twenty - four   hours   to   send   in   your   accounts,   and   we’ll   be   sending   out   links   to   the   group   server   as   you   do .       we’re   so   stoked   to   have   ya   on   board !

welcome   back   to   the   island,   henri   rosseau   (  the   tagalong  )  ! 

kat says: reading henri’s bio was such an unbridled joy. from a tango gone too far to him losing his first tooth on a pickle jar to him learning to shotgun, i decided that henri is my child and i’m going to protect him with my whole life. selene making henri a grilled cheese? correct. something amanda pointed out that i wanna add here is that henri feels so real. first of all, he’s relatable as fuck. but also the way you told his story was so touching and emotional and... you love to see it.

amanda says: listen, the tagalong is one of my favorite skeletons and we had such a fun bunch of apps for them and it was so hard to make a decision. but every sentence of henri’s app gave off such personality and i was in love from the first sentence. every aspect of henri was so gripping and nuanced   --   i told kat this, but i felt for him and i could relate with him and he broke my heart, while knowing just how to put it back together in the next paragraph. “sometimes it feels like you’re more of a concept than a person from the moment of your conception.” i. fuck me up, hayley. i just gotta say that henri is my ultimate homie and i’m so psyched to see how he plays out.

welcome   back   to   the   island,   theo   walker   (  the   brains  )  ! 

kat says: i’m a kass stan first and a human being second. your apps were all wonderful to read, and when it came down it it wasn’t a question of if we were accepting you but rather which app we were accepting. i was sold on theo. three placings in capricorn? pardon me? an asshole with an eidetic memory? we have no choice but to stan. also like this is dumb but i felt like theo & henri actually really fit as cousins and that’s a huge cherry on top of this cake. 

amanda says: when i tell you the first line of theo’s bio messed me up, i mean it. “a fuckin’ boy genius. that’s what they called you. when they pulled at your hair and shoved your face in the mud. when you tasted the word loser on your lips as the taste of blood.” i was so intrigued by theo, from the aesthetics bullet all the way to the pinterest and playlist you linked us to. there’s one line that i haven’t been able to stop thinking about since last night   --   “when you look at pictures of yourself at that age, you wouldn’t have the heart to tell that kid he wasn’t loved by his parents either.” like. don’t talk to me. i love the edge you gave us with his problem with authority and the gang’s stick and poke phase and his eidetic memory? we love to see it. nothing but respect for MY meme king.

welcome   back   to   the   island,   thalia   pham   (  the   heart  )  ! 

kat says: you have no idea the amount of times amanda and i have sent quotes from your application and blog back and forth to one another. “workers of the world unite, bitch.” “the death of a domesticated ferret.” your app has been my choice for the heart since we got it and i stand by it. thalia is exactly the heart we need. i would die for my como se dice spitfire. a law student? my angel. 

amanda says: thalia pham won my fuckin’ heart and i never want her to give it back. it’s her’s now, she owns it. you gave us sixteen pages on lia and i still found myself wanting to read more. you really took the heart to places we couldn’t have imagined and i’m obsessed with her fire. i was so gripped by her and her background and every little detail you gave us. how she met the gang? hot take. her brother? maybe one cop deserves rights. the way she has so much strength and passion but you still found a way to emphasize her soft aspects without dulling her sharper edges? i could write sonnets on my love for her, tbh. i’m so stoked to have you join us !!

welcome   back   to   the   island,   alina   winthrop   (  the   sovereign  )  !

kat says: honestly guys, this isn’t a scooby doo episode. me? president on the alina winthrop fanclub? more likely than you think. one time, she punched me in the face. it was iconic. honestly the sovereign was one of the hardest decisions but you can ask amanda every four minutes i would say “i still vote for alina tho.” she raised the very true point that alina and the winthrops feel alive and like they belong in brentwood. good looks jo.

amanda says: the sovereign was one of the hardest decisions for me to make, but what it came down to was how at home the winthrops felt. like i told kat, they just felt like they belonged in brentwood, and everything about them really captured me. as for alina? she could rip me to shreds and i’d thank her. when i was reading your app, there were so many lines that just had me stopping for a second to reread. i was so compelled and curious about alina and the way you took the skeleton   --   especially with all the little details that really fleshed her out and had me falling in love with her. “the test you’ve been avoiding your whole life: if you weren’t a winthrop, could you still do this? but even more: will you be able to live with the answer when you find out?” BRUH. i’m so, so interested in where you’re going to take her in the story !!

kat rly woke up before noon to read apps we have to stan

[lighthousehq]

what time is it? showtime

 what   time   is   it  ?   time   of   our    lives .    amanda   and   i   are   working   on   it   !   don’t   you   worry .

[lighthousehq]

alright   gang,   so   after   almost   eight   hours,   we’re   tapping   out   for   the   night .     we’re   so   close   to   reaching   all   of   our   decisions,   but   want   to   make   sure   we   read   these   last   couple   apps   with   fresher   eyes   in   the   morning .      the   hard   time   we’re   giving   ourselves   to   have   the   post   up   by   is   3pm   est .      it’s   likely   to   be   sooner,   but   that’s   the   latest   you’ll   hear   from   us .      catch   y’all   in   the   morning !!

[lighthousehq]

hey! i hope the process is going well (: im def not saying this to make you feel rushed or anything but im just super curious: once you are done will you make the post right away or will you be waiting until tmw / daytime?

if   we   finish   reading   everything   tonight,   i   think   we’ll   be   trying   to   write   the   post   as   soon   as   we   can   after   making   the   decisions !

[lighthousehq]

i'll be honest i've just been chilling on the main vibing to roxanne on repeat

kat   via   disc/ord :     FUCKING   YESS   THANK   FOS   /   someone   likes   our   TASTE .

[lighthousehq]

i’m going to bed early so tomorrow will come faster 🙈🙊

yes !!     drink   some   water,   get   some   sleep,   enjoy   a   movie,   read   a   book .     whatever   brings   y’all   joy   while   we   slowly   but   surely   crank   through   this .

[lighthousehq]

i don’t mean to rush you all at all, but i was wondering if you all have a better guess yet about whether or not it’ll be tonight or tomorrow? i hope it’s going well either way!!!

truthfully,   not   sure   just   yet .      we   might   be   going   on   halfway   through   the   apps ?      just   a   little   less .     depends   on   how   many   breaks   we   take   and   all   that !

[lighthousehq]

hi! hope everything's going well, are you guys still crossing off roles when you've made a decision?

hey,   peach !     yeah,   we’re   still   planning   on   doing   so .     kat   and   i   aren’t   going   in   any   particular   order,   so   we   haven’t   read   every   app   for   any   given   skeleton   yet .

[lighthousehq]

if we added a few things to our last minute (like 30 min before the submit closed) should we tell you? (in the even that you guys copy + pasted our apps into one big doc or s/t!!)

 shoot   us   a   message   just   so   we   know   to   double   back   and   check   your    revisions   sweet   pea  !

[lighthousehq]

Wasnt able to get an app i was happy with in on time, but ill def be keeping an eye on this in case any spots open up !!

 aw   babe   i’m   sorry   to   hear   that  !    thank   you   for   your   support   though ,   and   we’ll   keep   everyone   appraised    of    the   brentwood   season   two   situation .

[lighthousehq]

will you be crossing off characters in the app count during the process once you’ve made a decision ?

 we   can   totally   do   that   for   you,   anon   darling  !

[lighthousehq]

i refuse to believe you guys didnt pick to accept apps on a full moon on purpose

 you   know   what .   i   can’t   believe   you   sent   me   this   as   i   was   setting   up   my    crystals   to   charge   and   moon   water   for   later .   i   feel   exposed .
