sweeter than sweet.

lily bishop, xviii. you’re soft, soft like spring flowers and sunsets and the white feathers inside your pillow.

“lets be honest, lily,” is what evie starts with, smirking, almost fondly, as she observes her nails. “you would probably die of boredom if it wasn’t for me and my sparkling personality,” she continues in her smoky voice, but her words are flavoured with mirth. the weather outside is lovely today, nothing like what she’s used to in ireland. and perhaps the aesthetics of this small town is the reason behind her coming here. or maybe it was because she never felt more at peace than when she was wasting her days away under stone harbor’s sun, an intriguing book in one hand and a cup of hot chocolate in the other. “never really liked pretzels, if i’m being honest.” evie confessed, lips quirking up to form a smile, glancing in lily’s direction. “do you like them, lily? we could always grab some pretzels for you and then maybe some treats from the flicked bean for me and head over to the beach… or maybe catch a film at the reel? i don’t know. i haven’t really been here long enough to know what’s fun in this town.”

lily giggled. “you are sunshine on a rainy day,” they agreed. they hadn’t known each other for that long, but lily had to admit that evie really did bring some sparkle to their life. before they only ever really hung out with tino. this was the first real friend they had made without the help of tino, and that was exciting all in itself. at evie’s confession lily blinked, legs stopping their swinging back and forth. “no... it’s not really my thing either. i just started working here ‘cause my parents hated the names of all the other places here and wouldn’t let me work anywhere else. and then i just never left. i’d like hot chocolate from flicked bean much more!” seeing that their shift only had a few minutes left, lily jumped off the counter before removing their apron. evie’s suggestions sounded fun, and lily nodded in agreement. “there’s not a lot to do here, i guess. but you’re fun,” lily argued. “which means that whatever you come up with will be fun as well.”

“i swear, i feel like it’s been three pm for two hours now,” lily said with a deep sigh. “i don’t know what i’d do if you weren’t here.“ perched on the counter, they smiled widely at their friend. it was a slow day, as usual, at tie the knot and there had only been a few people entering the shop since their shift started earlier that morning. fortunately lily had evie to keep them company. lily was fully aware that they were one of maybe three people that took their work seriously, but they didn’t know what else to do. besides, they really needed the money after they moved out. “i wanna do something,” lily said and added a pout for effect. “my shift is almost over so we can grab some leftover pretzels and come up with something fun to do.” [ @evcngcline. ]

☼ ☂ ☹ ♡

Favorite time of day

i really like the time around 6-7pm because the sky is starting to darken and it gets all pretty. on the weekends i like 9-10am though, because everything seems so peaceful then

Favorite weather

hmm, i don’t know. maybe when it’s really cloudy and you’re not sure if it’s going to rain or not? i really like the way clouds look in the sky.

Response to a leaky faucet or other household problem

my dad usually handle that kind of stuff

What their wedding invitations would look like

i always imagined them being quite simple in aesthetics, nothing too fancy.

“ why is the person you wanna talk to always the hardest to actually talk to ? ” / “ people wanna see you do good, just not better than them. ” ( from lily )

“i don’t know, hon. maybe because the person you wanna talk to tends to be the one you have the hardest conversations with.”

“you’re right. people are selfish. people get jealous. it’s in our nature. that’s why it’s good to find the selfless ones and hold onto them; they’re rare.”

✦ ♒ ♣

✦ to learn about my character’s family

lily was adopted by the bishop’s, elizabeth and peter, when they were three years old. they’re an only child, their parents decided to adopt after around seven years of not being able to have a biological child.

when lily was younger their mother would spend hours braiding their hair, weaving affection and prayers within the locks she was caressing. she was a stay at home mother and wife and always made sure that their home was filled with love and a home cooked meal every evening. peter was loving, if a bit strict, and cherished his daughter above all else. although he rarely showed affection he always made a point of praising his daughter.

faith was always prominent in their house, with peter and elizabeth heavily involved in their church, and lily came to know every inch of the building within a couple of years. their parents taught them to trust their faith and to believe that someone was always listening to them, even if it sometimes didn’t feel like it.

they don’t know anything about their biological parents, and sometimes they wonder what their life would’ve been like if they hadn’t been adopted, or left at the doorstep of the orphanage.

♒ to learn about my character’s childhood 

lily’s childhood is barely over, but still not something they dwell on that often. they mostly remember the endless hours tugging on their skirt while trying to pay attention to the sermon on sundays. they remember the prayers at night, a quick pleading to God to make them okay, to be a good daughter and not disappoint their parents. even though lily knew the views their parents had on the world, they also knew that they didn’t fit in. when they, with a quavering voice, told them what they had been thinking about for years; instead of the tentative support they were hoping for, they were met with a deafening silence. the house they had lived in for so long, filled with warmth and hope, was now rapidly fading into a dull grey.

right now, the praise and love they once felt is a memory, replaced with hushed whispers when they think lily won’t hear, or pondering looks asking each other where they went wrong. lily spends a lot of their days wondering what would happen if they left.

♣ to learn about my character’s wardrobe

lily’s wardrobe is, for a lack of a better word, boring. even worse, it’s not theirs. it’s a collection of things their parents have given them over the years, fitting for the good girl that their parents had wished for. it’s pleated skirts, muted colours and blouses where the collar makes them choke. since lily is saving all their money on more important things, leaving, they wear the same clothes they have for years and it’s only when tino comes around that they’re allowed a tiny bit of freedom, because when they’re together he always brings a set of extra clothes for them to wear. then it’s mostly soft t-shirts, relaxed jeans and a pair of sneakers. they don’t have a sense of their own personal style yet, but they know that it can’t be found in their wardrobe at home.
