“ this is the most relatable thing anyone has said to me since we got here. is the duck okay? is your bike destroyed? do you need a new bike? let’s get mopeds. is venice moped friendly? ”
“i’m glad you think so, bex. the duck is more than okay, don’t worry about it. it’s still happily waddling around town. my bike, on the other hand, is dead. i do, are you offering to buy me a new one? hmm, good question.. i wanna say it probably is, but even if it isn’t, let’s get mopeds anyway!”
❝ you know, i wanna laugh so BAD at the fact that it sounds like something that HASN’T happened to me but COULD at any point in my life. but, YIKES, that sounds painful, do you need some ice ?? or even better, i’m offering going for some ice cream — my treat — because i’m an awesome friend. ❞ mila replied to the brunette she has known basically all of her life with a smile. ❝ me ?? hm.. nothing, really. my day was pretty BORING ‘till now that i bumped into you. ❞
“i’ll be praying that it’ll never happen to you. i make it sound very cool, but in reality it’s not, believe me. double yikes, it was painful but i’m alright. i’d never say no to ice cream, especially free ice cream. you really are an awesome friend,” she agreed as she smiled over at the petite girl softly. mila’s words caused her to grin, raising both her eyebrows slightly, “i bet you’re just saying that to make me feel better. and it’s working, so thank you very much. let’s get that ice cream i was promised, shall we?”
“ i’d like to assume and conclude that it’s definitely your arm that hurts more. have you had it checked ? “ bella asked with a slight tilt of her head. “ besides walking and getting pizza as much as i can, i think i’ve been good today. how about you ? besides … the arm and pride thing. “
“i wish you were right, but it’s definitely my pride that hurts more. a group of korean tourists saw the entire thing, clapped and gave me money afterwards because they thought i was a street artist,” artie explained with a deep sigh before she shook her head, “i didn’t have it checked.. should be fine, though. oooh, what kind of pizza did you get? besides that, i’ve been peachy, thanks.”
my day’s been fine, but i was just about to ask you if you were free tonight — although by the looks of it, i don’t think you’ll be able to go anywhere anytime soon.
“good fine or bad fine? or .. fine fine? it takes more than a bruised arm to stop me from going places. unfortunately, i’m not free at all tonight. got a tv date with pizza and ice cream on the sofa -- a threesome, so to say.”
did you actually like… flip over ? like how they do in the movies ?? & did someone catch it on tape because if so then i have to see it.
“i believe i did, yeah. i’m pretty positive it didn’t look as cool as it does in the movies, though. with my luck, more than one person caught it on tape.”
yikes, — don’t worry i’m not laughing at you i’m just laughing at the fact that something like that would definitely happen to me as well. although do you need some help ? i could get you some ice if you want.
“don’t worry about it, really. you wouldn’t be the first to laugh at me. hmm, if you’re talking about ice cream, i’m all in.”
the clock was past two am and instead of sleeping like most of the cast, ian found himself wandering the halls of their villa. the early and excruciatingly long plane ride had drained every single ounce of energy to physically do anything yet his mind was not sleepy. during his little quest, ian found a lonely little balcony that overlooked their garden. as he reached out for a chair, his other hand pulled out the box of cigarettes he’d brought back from the states. the warm light from the flame lit his face before it was consumed by the smoke. after a couple of minutes, the male found himself scrolling through the realms of social media. he heard someone approach the balcony as the door swung open. without taking a look back, he let out a soft laugh and said “ want to see this dank meme ? ”
all artie wanted was a glass of water, but due to the fact that her sense of direction was the worst, she didn’t seem to find her way back into her room. after what felt like half an hour, she found herself on the balcony. “uhm..” artie looked around to see if he was talking to her. “sure,” she mumbled with a lazy shrug as she stepped closer to the boy. “as long as it’s not the grumpy cat meme.”
“uhm so, i got distracted by a duck while riding around town on a bike today and ended up flipping over a fire hydrant. – m’not sure what hurts more.. my arm or my pride. and what have you been up to on this lovely day?”
“ theoretically, we are the most intelligent species YET we use our intelligence to invent things only a white father could enjoy. like snuggies. yeah, i question humanity too. "
“i hate to break to to you but dolphins and whales are more intelligent than human kind. no idea what you’re on about because snuggies are bomb as fuck. they’re almost as good as those shoes that stick to the bottom of your foot.”
hello earthlings! your worst nightmare has arrived – jk, it’s me, nina (she/her) aka ur local b99 addict! what’s there to say about meself? hmm, well i’m highly forgetful, an typo-expert and suck at writing intros (obvs lol)? also i live in the worst timezone ever?? (gmt+1). now if you wanna know more about artie, be my guest and click ‘keep reading’ ! and if you don’t, i honestly can’t blame you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
TRIGGERS: death, cancer.
did you hear? artemis pandora just signed the contract to the grandeurs. you’ll find the twenty-one year old from los angeles, california who used to be a youtuber singing along to don’t lose my number by phil collins in the car on the way here. i heard she can be cynical at times but can also be serene once you get to know them which is why artie is often referred to as the melancholic of the cast.
cynical: bitterly or sneeringly distrustful, pessimistic; she doesn’t trust easily and seems to always see the bad things in life.
serene: calm, unruffled; pretty self-explanatory.
born in dublin, ireland, artie is the daughter of katherine & francisco pandora and younger sister to alicia (deceased).
her full name is artemis; the greek goddess of - not only the hunt but also - of healing. and that was arties ‘job’:
she is/was a saviour baby. she is a genetic match to alicia, who suffered from leukemia and was therefore able to donate compatible organs, blood, and tissue to help her. her parents basically only had her because of that (lovely huh?)
at the age of 12, her sister passed away (artie was 10 at the time).
her parent’s marriage didn’t make it through the death of their child and about a year later, artie and her dad moved to LA (where he grew up).
her dad, being a v famous director, was never home so she was on her own pretty much 24/7. even though her dad broke EVERY single promise he ever made, she was heart eyes for him. needless to say... she’s got daddy issues.
she is a fashion blogger. a lot like aspyn ovard / zoella. she started with fashion/make up but quickly branched out and now basically vlogs her life. tbh she started youtube because she felt like she had no one to talk to?? basically was a v lonely human being at around 15. she stopped making videos only 8 months later and then started again at the age of 19.
she does competitive horse jumping & loves horses?
due to not being able to do ANYTHING as a child, bc she was stuck in the hospital 24/7, she’s pretty wild and v v v adventurous now. she’s pretty much up for anything… like wanna go drive to washington dc to go see the massive lincoln? sure thing!! wanna go to a fancy wine and cheese tasting iN CANADA??? uhm .. hell …. yeS PLEASE???!!
