MERRY GO ROUND.

SYLVIA MARIE BAUMAN. the LAST thing i wanted was infinite SECURITY and to be the place an ARROW shoots off from. i wanted change and ( E X C I T E M E N T ) and to shoot off in all directions MYSELF, like the colored arrows from a Fourth of July rocket.

❝ Dude just…just pity laugh at least. ❞

she tries to cover her distaste at the word. dude. sylvia’s not a dude in even the most colloquial of senses - at least, she doesn’t think she is. she wants to wrinkle her nose, maybe even…. ask him not to call her that (‘dude’ isn’t really something people call their girlfriends, is it ?) but surely she’s reading too much into things. so she keeps quiet on the subject, instead giving a CLEARLY fake laugh. ‘ feel better ? ’

❝ And Abraham said unto Moses, ‘Bro, dude, aliens.’ ❞

‘ you know what ? ’ she questions, eyes bright. ‘ i’m not christian anymore, but i think if that was in the bible, i probably might be. i imagine nasa would have so much more funding for their expeditions if that was the case. do you believe in aliens, evan ? ’

“Whatever you think. I can’t really say much about it when I don’t know the person you’re dating” she shrugged, not hinting at Sylvia to tell her but just explaining her position. “I’m not sure your brain is working properly but if that’s what you choose to think, that’s your decision.” Amalia was adamant Sylvia was wrong, she had been told the opposite by enough people to be sure of that. “I was kidding. Butthead is hardly a proper insult.”

she just nods in agreement, the thought of mentioning his name not even crossing her mind. ‘ hey ! my brain is working perfectly fine. i know it might not seem like it cause my head looks too big for my body - or so i’ve been told - but i promise you it works just fine. ’ sylvia frowns a little. ‘ i mean, think about it. it’s a great insult. think about how gross it is. ’

His slight embarrassment didn’t last long, the cat burrowing itself deeper in his arms making him smile as he pats its head. “Yes, thank you very much. This is a sweet one. Definitely my favorite.” he grins at Sylvia’s direction as he nods. “Surprisingly, they are. Gonna have to say your cats are actually growin’ on me.”

‘ oooh, don’t tell ernie or congo that. they adore you, ’ she laughs, bustling about the cafe to straighten up. ‘ i’m glad ! cause we’re kind of a package deal, you know. it’s hard for people to be my friend if they don’t like the cats, ’ sylvia admits.

He smiled giddily. Cats mean a lot to him since they’re one of the few things to never do him any harm. In fact they seem to love him so long as they get fed, “Rescues are the best. They’re always so happy just to be somewhere in a home. I’m tempted to get more but my landlord says no way.” He laughed, “Nah I understand. Trauma is trauma after all. We’ve all got it. Even cats. But the other ones – love to see them.”

‘ exactly ! and with the cafe, there are tons of people who come in every day to give them love. it makes me so happy - that’s part of the reason i can never turn away a stray, ’ she admits. ‘ you should definitely stop by sometime !  i’m sure the gang would love to meet you, too ! ’

“It’s been a few years now, you’d think I’d at least know what was wrong with the car,” she said, still looking a bit discouraged but looking over to give Sylvia a small smile. “And I didn’t want to have to make us walk. But I guess we can’t do anything about that. You keep your scarves, love. I don’t want you catching cold either. I’ll be fine.”

‘ hey, it’s alright ! uhm, there’s still tons of things i have to learn about things i’ve been around my whole life, so you can’t feel bad about it, okay ? ’ she assures. ‘ walking is fine with me ! i’m used to doing it everywhere anyway, you know ! ’ after a moment of pause, she just nods, not wanting to push it further. ‘ well, okay. but if you get cold, just let me know, cause i dont mind sharing. ’

“And that is why we have the disguises,” Evan said, pulling out wigs and costumes gleefully and showing them to her with an air of total confidence. “I’m sorry but age and appearance aren’t always linked. Your birth certificate might say that you’re old enough for that but no one else believes it. Come on, it will be fun!”

‘ i don’t know, evan.... did you get those wigs from an after-halloween sale ? they look a little ratty, ’ she muses, gingerly lifting a lock from one of the wigs. ‘ what ? i look as old as i am ! that’s not fair. besides, you said it’s a middle school production of the sound of music ? that... hardly sounds like my idea of a nice afternoon. ’

I’m so happy with the way Nancy turned out. The response to her is really satisfying. A lot of times, there’s a lot of damsel and victim roles around. It was nice for me to get to play a girl who finds her strength, who is really courageous and does cool things. I was really happy with that. I hope that I brought that to life in some way. Nancy is all badass. — Natalia Dyer for Ladygunn Magazine

“Oh, well, imagine.” Carter starts muttering, arm cradling one of Sylvia’s friendlier cats who doesn’t seem to hate him as much as the others. ( yes, he’s talking to the little bugger like a normal person, thank you. ) “As I’m pacing the pews in a church corridor and I can’t help but to hear—” his train of thoughts are suddenly interrupted when he glances up to find Sylvia herself. “– you didn’t see anything.”

‘ having a nice conversation with dulle griet, are you ? ’ she questions lightheartedly, only slightly teasing. ‘ don’t worry, i won’t pick on you. they’re great listeners, you know. and sometimes they’ll meow back, it’s quite cute. ’

chrisstafford:

“You’re right,” Chris agreed, looking forlornly around. “Sorry… I really thought I could get the car started again but I don’t even know what was wrong with it. I’d have to ask back at the shop for them to tow it and look at it.” She sighed a little bit, clearly disappointed in what she saw as a failure. “Oh, I’m fine. I’m not too delicate, don’t worry about me.”

‘ no, it’s okay, really ! you did great, chris, truly. ’ she pats her friend on the back reassuringly, frowning at the other’s discouragement. ‘ you’re still learning, it’s okay. ’ she toys with one of the scarfs, tilting her head slightly. ‘ are you sure ? i mean, it might have a little cat hair on it, but it’s warm, i promise. ’

“Why do you hate to admit it?” Phoebe frowned. “There’s nothing wrong with that! On who?” Phoebe leaned closer, nosy as ever. “I like a lot of people. Girls included,” she explained. “… oh. Well, do you think about dating her? Or do you just think she’s very pretty and cool? I think that’s the most important part.”

‘ oh, because - i’m sort of seeing someone right now, ’ she frowns. ‘ and i do think i like girls, though i’ve only ever dated one person before and it was a boy. so i’m not very sure. i am fairly certain she doesn’t like girls in the dating way, though. ’
