now that i think about it. i dont believe this has been asked before but whats willows opinions on the polys? especially considering 2 out 3 include someone they hate LOL
ohhhh i think i've answered something similar to this before; but i cannot find it on a search, and i certainly don't mind answering again c:
Beck & Perri- MC dating both of them actually makes Willow like Beck more. Not by much, and it'd be slow going, but Willow likes Perri a lot. If both their big sibling and Perri are willing to put up with Beck, maybe she's not as bad as Willow thought...
Jay & Ravi- literal exact opposite situation. Willow's distaste of Ravi is so consuming that MC dating Jay and Ravi makes Willow wonder what the hell is secretly wrong with Jay. They trust Jay less as a result lmao. They'd keep dropping 'hints' that MC should break up with Ravi and stick with Jay.
Jay & Yasmin- ideal situation! They like Yasmin a lot (and the feeling is mutual), and depending on Willow's relationship with MC they like Jay, too. So if MC was dating both of them, Willow would be thrilled. Two cool in-laws unlocked (even if Willow thinks both of them could loosen up a bit).
What's the wildest thing Beck and Perri have ever done together that they absolutely regretted in the moment but now look back on and laugh?
I have been thinking about their friendship so much in the past few days, so I am dying for Beck/Perri besties content. Honestly, any fun facts about them will do. I need it.
Also, Beck/Perri poly being dead last in the poll is a C R I M E. They have the best dynamic and I can't wait to slot myself into it like the missing piece they never knew they needed.
Oh I totally agree. I love their polyship soooo much; and their friendship. I'm so excited to dig into their friendship and tear it open with my bare hands. Slotting MC into it will be truly a delight. Beck's skittishness and fear of commitment combined with Perri's tendency towards being clingy and their being a hopeless romantic are just...
*chef's kiss*
Throwing MC into the middle of that is going to be so much fun.
As for your first question, my answer got a little long so you can find it beneath the cut <3
When they were younger--around 19--Perri became obsessed with the creature they believe lives in the lake. Beck got it in his head that the two of them could go out and find the thing.
The problem? It was the middle of winter. But, never fear! Just because it's winter doesn't mean you can't access the lake. Easthaven has a huge fishing culture, and ice fishing is big. So, no problem--they'd sneak into an icehouse, chop the hole open a little farther, and try to get some pictures or something.
Breaking and entering wasn't hard at all. They just picked the biggest one owned by somebody they were convinced wouldn't kick their ass if they got caught. Beck brought a hatchet, Perri brought a camera wrapped in plastic set on a timer and tied together with a rope.
What could go wrong?
It turns out that safely cracking the ice with a hatchet isn't as easy as Beck thought. He went at it a little too hard. The fishing hole opened more, for sure. Wide enough for him to fall in.
Perri lost their camera. Beck did an impromptu polar plunge. They're lucky that Beck didn't drown; even luckier that the ice stopped cracking before the entire icehouse fell in. Luckiest of all, some of the fisherfolk had started arriving, and they were able to help get Beck back on the ice and rushed to the hospital before hypothermia set in.
Scary as hell in the moment. Beck has almost died plenty of times, but that ice-shock of cold still sticks with them. Perri was a wreck.
Now, though? They can't see the lake, covered in fishhouses, without bursting into laughter.
