Could you do Martha and Fatin for the brotp?

Hi friend! Thanks!

What in-jokes do they have with each other?

They rate every guy Martha meets and finds cute on a scale “from zero to Marcus”. The scale is NOT scientific, and none of the other girls really understand it. But it’s hilarious.   

Are they the “I’ll pay this time if you pay next time”-type friends, or the “I’ll pay for my food and you’ll pay for yours”-type friends?

First option. Fatin always insists to pay for Martha’s drinks though. 

Who’s more prone to pranking, or otherwise messing with, the other?

Martha, actually :) She’s wickedly sneaky when doing pranks, and a lot of them involve using various animals (mostly insects and the likes) to scare Fatin. She has to be careful, though, because Fatin has no qualms about squashing a spider with a rolled-up Vogue Magazine. Which is not what Martha wants. (What she wants is to add to her collection of videos of Fatin screaming at the top of her lungs because there’s a harmless beetle on her bed. It makes for a great pick-me-up whenever one of the girls is depressed.)

How do they text/message each other? Proper punctuation and capital letters, egregious overuse of emojis, mostly in meme format…?

Oh my God, they are the most CHAOTIC texters, there’s emojis EVERYWHERE, new abbreviations daily, their texts are absolutely unreadable by anyone else. (Even Toni, who’s used to Martha’s style, can’t decipher what the fuck they’re talking about.) They basically have invented a whole new writing system. 

Do they exchange jokey birthday presents, or deeply thought-out and meaningful presents? Or both?

Both, but mostly meaningful? Fatin also loves organizing Martha’s birthday parties. She does The Most. Martha is delighted. 

They go on a road trip together. Who drives, who picks the music, who’s in charge of snacks?

Martha drives - she, gently, leaves No Room for argument. Fatin is in charge of the music - which works great, they like the same stuff. They’re both in charge of snacks - lots of chocolate, lots of juice. 

What do they think of each other’s family?

Fatin adores Martha’s family, and is, weirdly, a little scared of Martha’s mom, in the “I never want her to be disappointed in me” kind of way. Martha is very impressed with Fatin’s parents at first - they’re so elegant and stylish!-, not so much when she learns the whole story. She loves Fatin’s little brothers though, and they love her too :)

Do they have any nicknames for each other?

Fatin has a million pet names for Martha. I don’t think Martha has any for Fatin, however. 

Who’d be the first to try and patch things up if they had a fight?

Honestly... they rarely get into fights. But when they do, Fatin tries to patch things up first. There’s nothing worse than knowing that Martha is mad at you.

One of their phones goes off in the middle of the night. Who’s calling whom, and why?

Fatin actually calls Martha when she gets sad in the middle of a party, and she doesn’t want to bother Dot and Leah, or they’re not available, or she’s feeling self-conscious and needs Martha’s specific energy. 

What’s their favourite funny story about something that happened to the two of them?

Getting high on the beach for sure.

Would they do a joint cosplay? If so, who would they dress up as?

Oh, they would. For Halloween, they dress up as a devil and an angel. Martha is the devil. Fatin is a very sexy, probably not Bible-accurate angel. 

Do they have any TV shows that they watch together? Are there any shows they have wildly different opinions on?

So many shows! A lot of reality TV, first of all. Martha also gets Fatin to watch the entirety of Pretty Little Liars, Fatin is. Obsessed. And furious about it. She rants about the outfits constantly.

Which one is the “fight me” friend and which one is the one who tries to keep the peace and prevent their friend from punching a total stranger?

Fatin is the “fight me” friend. Martha tries to keep the peace. 

One of them comes up with an ill-advised but mostly harmless idea. Does the other one egg them on because they think it’ll be funny, or try and talk them out of it?

In both cases, they’d try to talk the other out of it. 

Who would win if they arm-wrestled?

Martha.

Who’s better at what type of video games, and how competitive are they when they play together?

Martha is leagues better than Fatin. They aren’t very competitive with each other, but if they are together in a team against some of the other girls they get HYPED UP and WILL destroy their competition. 

One of them ends up in hospital for something serious but not life-threatening. What does the other bring along when they visit in order to cheer them up?

Martha brings homemade food that she cooked with her mom, UNO, Fatin’s emotional support makeup case, and has all the girls send a heartfelt card for Fatin. Also, a vibrator, which prompts Fatin to propose on the spot. (She may have been a bit delirious from fever, but still.)

How huggy are they?

It’s interesting, they’re very huggy with their respective people (Toni, Leah), but I’m not sure they hug each other all that much? They do physical affection, but maybe not via hugs? Like, Fatin will put her arms around Martha’s shoulders, and they’ll sit together with their knees touching, and they’ll touch each other’s hair and face, and hold hands. Not that many hugs though. 

What was the moment when they first realised that they’d become friends?

They start bonding pretty early on the island, but probably that one moment where Martha asks if she’ll have Romeos in her DMs too, and Fatin’s like MARTHA ANGEL YES OF COURSE <3

Trick or treat!!

trick! it’s a copy of Troy (2004)!

[spiderworries]

What do you know about Heartstopper?

I am so sorry I have never heard of that in my life. My wild guess is that it’s an anime.

Fatin for the ask game please

Hi! Thanks! <3

How I feel about this character

FATIN MY BELOVED. No wonder she’s everyone’s favorite! She’s hilarious, she’s feisty, she’s confident and charming... AND she has depth!  She can be ruthless and vicious, distant and selfish, but she’s also incredibly caring and gentle and loyal with the people she considers hers. I love her with my whole heart. One of my favorite traits is how observant she is - she notices things, she notices tension and emotions and reactions, and she’s so good at reading people, and at knowing what they need. Truly a revelation.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

Leah. Ideal dynamic. I can’t stop thinking about them. 

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Dot! What’s a best friend if not someone you have punched in the face once over something absolutely unimportant. When they move in together in LA after their whole ordeal and Fatin becomes an ~influencer and Dot realizes she’s living with someone who’s never touched a vacuum in her life... :”)

My unpopular opinion about this character

Is it unpopular to think that what she did re:her father was not okay? I don’t know, I remember seeing a lot of “girlboss moment!!!” type commentary, and I’m. Not about that at all. Her father cheated on her mother, and her father reacted horribly to the whole thing and was awful and downright cruel to Fatin - and she should not have leaked the pictures. Nothing can justify it. 

Oh also I don’t know if this unpopular either but literally Leah was RIGHT to lay into her for that “I’m a goods provider” comment lksaldasgdj Fatin I adore you but... no.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

Fatin kiss Leah on the mouth challenge! In all seriousness, Fatin hasn’t really... broken down, like most other girls have. She was in shock after the plane crash, but ever since she’s been very... put together. I would like Fatin to show vulnerability in front of others, and maybe cry, and be open about her feelings, let it all out. And by others, I mean Leah. I want a scene where Leah has to deal with an armful of sobbing Fatin, and maybe kiss her gently on the forehead. Let Fatin be comforted in season 2! It’s equality dot gif.

I know we’ve only recently became mutuals but 🍓

Yea we’re pretty new mutuals but you seem really nice! I’d love to talk more and I’m sorry for sending you online hate bc I thought you were a marylander. You have the vibes of the type of person who was always super nice to the new kid at school/ went out of your way to be friendly to them.

Now that I have some mastery of the cumbersome art of sewing and fashion. I will comenence reconstruction of Late Bronze Age Greece and Hellenic Era clothing.

Do I know what my first project will be? Absolutely not. However, here is a list of projects in mind:

1. Heracles

2. Ariadne

3. Clytemnestra

4. Theseus

5. Hades

6. Hera

7. Aphrodite

8. Paris

9. Achilles

10. Medea

11. Circe

I must decide by the end of the month, as I will be attending the Renaissance Fair in March.
