HEADCANONS
gigi is a very very very big cheater. loves doing this thing where she’ll start dating someone. make them fall in love and then get bored and move onto the next without letting the other know
violence tw : do not I REPEAT DO NOT call her by her full name unless you want her to deck you in the face
she loves loves loves boxing. it’s basically how she lets out all the pent up anger within her
her go to attire is a black tank top, black ripped jeans, and black combat boots. if it’s too dark you wouldn’t even be able to tell she was there.
moved out right when she turned 18 and jumped around from place to place until she landed at the island. couldn’t wait to get out of the house and went to where her heart told her to.
she has always seen herself as a lone wolf and is way too scared to get super close to someone. she won’t admit it, but it’s the fear of losing them
liessss so much. especially when she’s working and people are talking to her over the bar. she truly enjoys making up a new persona and sticking with it through the night. the regulars at the club know but the new ones always get so confused’
violence tw : has gotten arrested 4 times. some for stealing, some for getting into a fight, and others just because.
her go to conversation starters are ‘what are the odds that...’ and it’s always followed by an obscure dare
has a vintage bronco that she loves to death, but you can also catch her kicking the tires when it breaks down for the 100th time on her
alcohol tw : she is a big drinker. hasn’t gone a day without drinking in a long long time , but honestly it’s not her fault. she works at a bar. how can she not take a shot or two while working
she grew up with her mom, her dad being a deadbeat. she loved her mother dearly, but her mom as a hopeless romantic who got herself into trouble by falling in love every 5 minutes with the wrong guy. which is probably why gigi is being a menace to men and men only
her place from the outside is so ugly but on the inside... it’s her sanctuary which she never ever allows anyone to come inside to
she can play the bass pretty damn well and honestly has had the slightest dream of being in a band
never got her license but that doesn’t stop her from driving :~)
owen was always looking for a reason to hold the title of FAVORITE CHILD , so he could often be found in little shops around town looking for something to get his mother . also , he just loved his mother – it wasn’t hard to convince him to buy something for her . he didn’t recognize the PADDY WHACK , so he was instantly a bit curious . he enters the store and greets the owner with a nod . " do you have anything that will secure my spot as number one child ? "
gigi leaned forward , resting both of her elbows on the countertop. ‘ oh sure. so you want to be a kiss ass , overachieving loser. ’, she nodded her head , her eyes moving from the other to the wide selection around the store. ‘ i know i just put out an ouija board. that might a cute little charcuterie moment. or maybe she could try out that new butter board situation going on with that. is she into those type of things ? butter that is. ’
A smile creeps over her features and she watches the brunette carefully. “You might want to work on your customer service. You are going to scare people away and make no profit.” Levina turns on the balls of her feet, starting to look over the shop. It was knick knacks, and she liked to keep her place bare. Maybe there was something she could find. Something that would call to her.
‘ oh my god , thank you so sooo much for that advice. ’, gigi over excitedly said before completely dropping her expression. ‘ god... i can’t even imagine having so many wonderful thoughts like that. like wow.... i bet no one had ever thought about that before. ’, she decided to continue her sarcastic act. ‘ business fucking typhoon , ladies and gents. ’, she muttered to herself with the roll of her eyes. once the other turned around.
was she lost? perhaps a little. getting here had been easy. what was inside the buildings may have changed but magnetic island’s general street structure and geography were the same as ever. this apartment building, however, had her in a twist. remi checked the red number tag on her key again. 016. after having gone along the corridor twice, once to the end and then back to the main door, she began to question the accuracy of the keyring. the doors went to 10 and the sign pointing up the stairs said 11 - 20. no zero. she had just pulled out her phone to call the superintendent when someone rounded the corner. remi turned to them with a confidence bordering on intimidation.
“hi, could you tell me where 016 is?”
she had accidentally spent the night at alex’s and decided at the ripe time of 6am it was time to sneak out. she had her keys in her hand and her hair was sticking out in all the right places as she sluggishly made her way down the hall towards the elevators. gigi had just turned the corner , getting closer and closer to her own bed when someone asked her a question. she let out a groan that turned out to be much louder than she intended. ‘ no , i can’t. ’, gigi gave the other a sour look. one would say she wasn’t a morning person , but if thought was really put into it - she wasn’t an afternoon or night person either. ‘ you have the best time finding it though. good luck to ya. ’
give me a place to stand and i will move the earth
where: king polydectes’ palace, serifos, greece (auggie’s dream)
who: @nowhereinn (ate)
and the rage blinded him, made him deaf to the shouts and the cries. he did not smell the blood nor did he see its stain on the white marbled floor. dripping from his own hands. another head, rolling on the floor. eyes to the heavens; but olympus was silent as its son slayed another monster, perhaps the worst of them all.
man.
and thus king polydectes was defeated, dead by perseus’ hand, while his subjects, disfigured statues, graced the hall morbidly. eyes straight ahead, slowly coming back to himself, the man drew a breath. kept it for a minute, calming his heart, beating loudly in his chest. exhaled, and put back the harpē on his belt. a noise, behind him where the main door was, made him turn. where the expectation had been to find beaten, bruised and broken danaë, only a stranger stood there. perseus frowned, turned to face the woman. his bloodied hand reached for the snakes, on the floor, without looking at it.
“another enemy?” the room echoed with his voice, the warning clear in his tone. “i will not yield.” here, in the palace of king polydectes, stood a man of legend, his face alterning with his newest reincarnation.
she didn’t remember falling asleep. at this point , gigi tried her best not to fall asleep. her dreams were jumping like crazy and though she seemed to be in bed for eight hours or longer , she woke up as if she had gotten none. usually her dreams were with people she knew in life , people she had met. but after that strange occurrence, there were new people she had never seen before. nevertheless , she was intrigued.
gigi had no clue where she popped into. her mind was fuzzy and so was her vision. she held up a hand to shield herself from any dust or sun in the way of her eyes , but it was still all too bright. ‘ fuck... ’, she muttered to herself as she made her way through the new location.
there was a door that seemed like a good call. to her surprise , there stood someone as triumpth as they were. ‘ good god. ’, gigi let out a laugh. ‘ yield or not , i don’t give a fuck. just let me know where the fuck am i and i’ll let you return to your little thumb wrestling war. ’
matthew had been meaning to check out the store that had sported a familiar warm phrase from his past for a while now. Honestly, when he had been told about it he couldn’t wait to get in and see what kind of knick knacks he’d find and restore. now he was finding it hard to keep his eyes from closing and his excitement while there was muted. there were voices yelling at him for his attention at all hours of the day and even when he caved and would speak with them those same conversations would follow him into his dreams. To put it bluntly he was exhausted mentally and physically so he didn’t even realize he didn’t change his clothes at all. At the question his eyes narrowed and his neutral expression soured at her reaction. Eyes following down to his attire matthew groaned before sending a pointed glare the female’s way. “ I didn’t even know I was wearing these. “ he grumbled out rubbing his eyes. “ I haven’t exactly been sleeping the greatest, but what are you doing here ? “ matty wasn’t exactly surprised to see her there. they had spent a great time restoring random knick knacks, but the name of the store and then seeing gigi it was enough to send him into a small spiral regardless of them being friendly now.
it was a sight to see to say the list. it had been a while since she last saw matty half awake ( though he looked like he hadn’t slept ) , morning hair and of course the raspy voice. with his pointed stares , gigi took it as a sign to continue doing her work. she looked away , continuing to place the items in a certain order as he answered her questions. ‘ mhm. ’, she hummed , acknowledging that she was still somewhat listening. gigi opened her mouth to ask another question about his lack of sleep , curious to see if the dreams still happened or maybe if they got worse. but , with her own lack of sleep she decided not to poke further. ‘ i broke in. decided i start a career in stealing. ’, gigi bluntly said , giving him a look as if it was obvious that she owned the store. ‘ we don’t open until 8 , matt. ’, she added , taking a step closer to rest her hand on the side of his face. it stayed there for a moment before she softly patted his cheek twice. ‘ but i guess you’re welcome to get the senior citizen hours. ’, she smirked , pulling her hand away. ‘ only if you help out , though. ’
before she committed to adopting a kitten winnie had done her research into what diet was best, which treats to give, and of course the best of the best litter. she was prepared to be the best cat owner little goose deserved and the start of that was daily walks around the island. smiling at the other smiling faces that they passed the orange tabby was the perfect companion and while he didn’t enjoy the leash at first he was starting to come around at least that’s what she thought until he decided that the walk was over and was pestering the person at a bench’s shoes. “ I’m so sorry ! I’m still trying to get him used to being on a leash. “ winnie prattles off reaching down to pick up the cat. “ You do have some nice shoes though, so i can’t say I blame him for being distracted.”
gigi was just about done with her morning run. still out of breath she decided to take a seat on a nearby bench and listen to a few songs before officially returning home. her eyes were closed and the morning wind was hitting her face just right. with her eyes still closed her eyebrows furrowed when she became suspicious of something at her feet. it wasn’t until the voice overpowered the music in her ears she opened her eyes. her furrowed eyebrows soon raised. ‘ get serious, win. ’, gigi stated , bringing her feet up and her knees closer to her chest. ‘ why... what’s this ? for what reason did you do this ? ’, gigi asked as if adopting a cat was some sort of sin.
Harley always tried to be a good son. Even though he knew he wasn’t the favorite son in his parent’s eyes as his nurses degree was nothing compared to MBL contract, he would still remember his mothers birthday. The Golden Fleece was the perfect place for someone like his mother who didn’t care for retail value. Harley scoured down the aisles looking at different candles and knick knacks. “Honest question. How many candles can you send to your mother before it gets too old.”
she decided to close shop early and head out , but she just wasn’t ready to go home yet. luckily , she had brought lucy to paddy whack so there wasn’t any rush to make sure she was okay. gigi’s hand was wrapped around a leash and a bag on her shoulder with lucy leading the way. with the golden fleece thrift’s door’s wide open , her dog couldn’t help , but to enter. ‘ god damn it , lucy. ’, she muttered , trying to stop her but ultimately getting distracted by a familiar voice. ‘ i don’t fucking know , har. ’, gigi shrugged while trying to make sure lucy didn’t wander farther into the store. ‘ maybe as old as she’s getting ? who fucking cares anyways , send her the candle. ’, she added her input before stepping closer to the other only to take the candle into her free hand to give it a sniff.
he always missed this side of gigi, when they inevitably parted ways. but even when they were together, this was still a bit of a rarity to come around — gigi wasn’t the most affectionate person. but that was alright, the more they spent time together on and off.. because alex began to understand her more, and understand when she says i need you without saying it at all. technically, those words were never uttered on either end — but somehow, it was understood. “ fine, but you’ll need to make it up to me in the next few nights. ” he teases, but he would like her company eventually. he won’t say it, but he regularly got zero sleep — the only times he could sleep is when there was someone next to him. he flinches a little as august’s name was brought up, but never turning to look at her — instead, continuing with the ‘ restocking ’. “ — you won’t get in between anything. besides.. he’s moved out. temporarily. ” he hoped. there was a pause, before he stopped, turning to look at her again with brows furrowed. “ gigi, can i ask you something ? ” alex speaks again, without really looking for an answer to that, “ were you…. did it not bother you at all ? when i kissed your best friend ? ”
🌱 — she leaned forward , her forearms lightly resting on her knees and her long hair slowly creeping over her shoulder. her blue eyes continued to watch him with each steady blink. ‘ hm... ’, gigi hummed. a debate on whether or not she should spend the night went back and forth in her head , not concluding in an answer. the girl continued not to say much. she took the moment to relax , taking any time of peace she could get even if it was in the club’s storage room with fluorescent overhead lighting. there was something calming about it to her , or maybe it was indeed alex that somehow calmed her. her blinks gradually became longer until the other’s voice filled the room again. she lifted her head slightly and curiously looked up at alex. he didn’t wait for her to respond before asking his question. it took her a moment to process his words , but nevertheless she shook her head without hesitation. auggie had asked her the same question and she continued to ask herself it too. she should be bothered , but for some reason she didn’t have a single opinion about it. gigi reached forward , getting a weak hold of the bottom of his shirt to gently tug him closer. ‘ you have to acknowledge you’ve practically kissed everyone on this stupid island. i don’t think one more person would bother me that much. ’, gigi stated, her gaze looking up at him.
charming: it too hyped up to sleep, i want some healthy chaos
charming: whatever takes your fancy gi, snag a bottle of booze if u want, i have a little cooler thing with some drinks in it so i'm just bringing that and my speakers
charming: if u can't find me, look for the fire and bet i'll be swimming naked or something 💋
usually, alex would always be at the very front of the bar, making conversation, starting fights sometimes, serving drinks and turning his charm on for the extra tips. but with the scattered mind of his tonight with everything filling it — from somehow being able to get anything he wanted out of people today by simply thinking about it, to hearing people who weren’t really… there talking to him again. he was stalling; hiding in the back, pretending to be restocking. a familiar warmth wraps her arms around him from behind, and immediately alex melts into the touch as he hears her voice. he puts his hand over hers, turning around with a small grin on his lips. “ hi to you, too. ” he greets, giving her a soft kiss on her lips before pulling back again. “ i told you to stay over last night. didn’t get enough sleep ? ” whatever this was, alex knew it can’t last long — especially when he knew he was a ticking time bomb right now. but for however long it’ll last ? it’ll feel great.
🌱 — gigi reciprocated the kiss and then she rested her head against his chest , the warmth of it already radiating onto her face. normally , the girl would’ve been thinking how stupid all of it was. how they were hot and screaming one minute - not wanting to be in the same room together and the next they seemed like they had the most stable relationship. ‘ and i told you i was busy. ’, gigi let go from the embrace, letting her hand rub against the back of his neck for a moment before completely pulling away. it was a lie , she wasn’t busy , but it was easier to lie than to explain why she jolted awake every hour or so. taking a few steps to the side, gigi used a crate as a seat. ‘ not at all. ’, her sleepy eyes studied his features. ‘ besides , whatever’s happening between you and auggie right now… i don’t want to be in between it. ’
🌱 — gigi rubbed her eyes , still trying to get out of the grogginess slump. her dreams became more and more chaotic , but the bigger issue was she was losing control. jumping from one to the other , sucking up all her energy. it was early morning and gigi didn’t dare to try to sleep again , so she freshened up and made her way to the store. it wasn’t needed , but there was still a few more hours until opening so to pass time she fixed each little knick knack’s placement. being half awake when she entered , gigi had forgotten to lock the door behind her which was why she was completely surprised when she heard the chimes of the new doorbell. she whipped her body around , picking up the nearest thing to her ( a small clock ) and held it up. her cautioned eyes were almost immediately replaced with confused ones. ‘ matthew... ’, gigi muttered. the two of them had decided to patch things up a few weeks back , but she still did everything in her power to make sure they didn’t run into each other. her blue eyes fell down to the colorful shorts with those annoying palm trees that she had once despised long ago. ‘ wha- why are you wearing that ? ’, she continued to ask questions , setting the clock down and bringing a hand to her lips to hold back laughter she knew was coming.

🌱 — it was inventory day. she knew it was inventory day considering alex had almost immediately responded when she texted him. the past few nights were rough , she spent half of her night in a state of being half awake and half asleep and just when she fell asleep she would jolt awake covered in her own sweat. she was crankier than normal and needed a distraction. besides , who was better than her newly renounced boyfriend. gigi lifted her shades as she entered the dark and empty club revealing her tired eyes. she rolled around to the back where she suspected alex to be. ‘ hey. ’, she stated , her voice flatter than normal. gigi stepped close enough to pull alex in for a hug from behind. the tension in her body somewhat subdued as she melted into the hug. odd enough , it was something that she needed. ‘ i’m so fucking tired. ’
if there was to be a knick-knack shop on the island, estella would be there. but there was something about gigi that maybe caused them to feel a bit insecure, knowing that she had… been with alex (?), and they still seemed close — and, well, estella didn’t see themselves as exactly desirable, especially when she compared herself to others. there was also something else about gigi that ‘triggered’ something in estella, an energy that seems to weave its way into estella’s dreams on occasion. estella doesn’t dislike anyone, not really, and so she doesn’t dislike gigi for any reason — it’s just odd for estella.
and, to be frank, she was still off since her annual trip to go and visit her mothers resting place — only having returned last week. drawn into the store by the front windows of merchandise, and the fact that it was also a new store and not too far away from books & crannies, “hey, and thanks,” estella replied a little awkwardly, beginning to move about the store and take in it’s wares. “i like the name, by the way. ‘with a knick knack, paddy whack, give a dog a bone—’” they recited the little rhyme, turning towards the counter as she did so, “like the nursery rhyme, right?”
it was astonishing how much gigi wasn’t in the know. there had plenty of times names have been thrown around on the island , especially with the normal group she hung around , but none of them ever registered in her head. for however long she had been on the island , gigi could name at least 7 names, maybe 8 tops if she guessed. she had seen the other’s face around , but again… she couldn’t put her finger on where and frankly , she didn’t care enough to run through the archives of memories in her mind.
gigi stood there, unamused, as the other recited the nursery rhyme she had heard many many times before. it had been so long since she last heard it out loud , and it was an odd feeling hearing it from someone else’s mouth. ‘ yeah. where else ? ’, she gave the other a short response. ‘ you don’t get a free item because of that , by the way. ’
Levina always liked to check out what was new. There was talk about a new store and she knew she had to go see it. She pushed the door open, her eyes glancing around the shop – interesting. Maybe there was something she might like. Her head turned towards the voice. Customer service - eh. “I could always use some help.” She struts over to the counter, a smile on her face. “What would you recommend?” Her hands rested on top, eyes flickering down to the paper.
‘ hm. ’, the brunette let out her signature noise, tossing her hair over her shoulder. her mind went back and forth on whether or not she should smile back at the other. the debate was far too long , and by the time the other asked a question. gigi let out a small , yet dramatic sigh. her eyebrows furrowed down just as her customer service persona left the room. ‘ i don’t know what you like. and i can assure you you won’t like anything i suggest. so , i don’t know ? look around ? ’
