andy will get his ass kicked if he holds things above his head and out of avery's reach. she'll go for the knees, page. you better watch yourself.

he says “bring it, ellis!”

micah and julia

micah:

he’s actually reasonably strong. he hates working out and hates being sweaty because ew no gross but for the type of piano he plays, he needs to have a lot of upper body strength and stamina so yep, weight lifting and cardio for him every day except saturday and sunday and those weird grip strengthening things randomly when he’s watching netflix.

micah dearly, dearly loves netflix. his relationship with his queue is the closest thing he’s got to one right now. he watches a lot of comedies for the most part and he’s halfway through his third re-watch of parks and recreation.

the first Major Piece he ever memorized was rachmaninoff’s first piano concerto and it’s still his favorite.

micah dearly, dearly loves beating the tar out of child prodigies in competitions. he dearly loves winning period but there’s just something about beating people who are naturally good that makes his little heart sing.

he teaches piano lessons to snot nosed little punks for a little extra cash.

for someone who makes their living playing a musical instrument professionally, micah likes having money and he’ll take any opportunity to make an extra buck. yeah, 95% of that comes from genuinely enjoying playing but the other 5% is pure pragmatism.

he’s 5'11 but looks a lot taller because he’s skinny as hell and has fluffy hair.

he skypes with his sister emily every friday afternoon so they can play together. out of his siblings, he’s closest to her and she’s the one who took his move to california the hardest. she’s starting to position herself for the same trajectory he took (she already competes and plays in the new york youth symphony but she’s planning on juilliard as well) and he tries to be as helpful as he can.

he’s pretty sure nev is his soul mate.

he ruined the national for himself because yo, micah’s “we didn’t even date but here’s a breakup mix” playlist wrt avery still exists in 2.0. he can’t hear “i need my girl” without a small twitch anymore.

julia:

julia watches s o   m u c h food network. she watches every single culinary competition show known to man and gets super into top chef every season.

her introduction to jane austen was the 1995 pride and prejudice with colin firth. colin firth is all three of her celebrity free passes.

if she’s a jane austen character, she’s jane bennet.

she can be heart breakingly practical. there are things that she would like to do but they’re just not possible right now. she’d like to have gone to graduate school but she started working and started dating luke and with a wedding coming up and hopefully a family after that, it’s just not going to happen. she’s afraid to take chances and tends to stick with what’s safe.

she’s not particularly short but she’s surrounded by tall people and /feels short so yes, she wears heels always. and those heels will be cute as hell and preferably printed.

she’s super ready to be a mom and tbh, she’ll be awesome at it.

she’d be cool with getting a cat first but luke is very anti-cat.

julia is surprisingly competitive about very stupid, small things. guessing games are sort of her thing and if she’s wrong about how many jelly beans are in the jar, she will eat however many it takes to make it the number she guessed.

she doesn’t know what she’ll do on the day her metabolism crashes because working out is the worst thing ever and /no. no.

the cheesier a tourist attraction is, the better. her excuse is that she’s from vegas for god’s sake - glitter and cheez is in her veins. so far, her efforts to talk luke into the corn palace have been fruitless but she did succeed in going to graceland last year so.

[chiarasmuse]

andy and avery

always wins when they play Trivia Crack i feel like it would be one and then the other, like they would both have good days and bad days and brag when they saw the other. 

laughs when their partner trips on something both. easily. 

would drop ice down the back of the other’s shirt as a joke again, both. no andy is not nearing 35, he’s actually a teenage boy most days.

spoils the ending of books/movies i don’t think that andy would do this, so maybe avery? i know that andy would get Pissed if she did this though. and if it was something she did often it would get to the point where it was ‘stop! do not say another word because if you spoil this for me i will no longer be able to live with you’ 

always posts a picture of the other as their MCM or WCW both. 

eats the last piece of cake in the fridge before the other can have it well this could go either way. but definitely andy. he will eat anything and everything that is leftover in that fridge.

obnoxiously celebrates Monday Punday every week both? it depends on the day for andy though. 

makes loving hack posts on the other’s Facebook/Instagram/Tumblr/Twitter etc avery. i honestly don’t think that it would be something andy would do. 

has to beat their partner in every game andy. oh god he has a competitive streak and he hates losing. he is not far away from trash talking his own girlfriend.

keeps their partner up half the night talking about random stuff both of them could be guilty of this and i think the other would gladly listen. well, depending on the day because ‘avs, i love you but i have a meeting at nine so could you please shut up.’ 

eats too much garlic and tries to kiss their partner anyway andy, though this could again be both.

andy and laura

so this got really long

Andy

Andy hates wearing ties. He’ll really only wear them for meetings with potential investors, he prefers the first few buttons of his shirt left open. He doesn’t tell anyone this but since it’s more of a relaxed look, he thinks it becomes more “rock and roll.” When he’s not wearing a suit, he’s in jeans and a tshirt (probably with some sort of graphic on it), he can will be seen in khaki shorts and a baseball cap from time to time. 

He didn’t suspect Avery was a virgin until they started getting intimate, he never asked though because he didn’t think it was all that important, as long as she knew that she could say no at any point then everything was okay. 

He really doesn’t hate a certain genre of music. He will listen to everything and anything. Currently he’s been listening to a lot of early 00′s music, especially Tegan & Sara’s So Jealous record. He is also willing to talk music at anytime, even if it’s not anything to do with work, he just loves talking about music and bands and the history of both. 

He really does wish he could perform, he plays often, he just doesn’t believe he has any sort of real talent (though he does), he’s just very insecure about it. He still kicks himself for not being better at it and being a stronger person who could stand up on a stage and perform in front of people, the kicking usually happens when he’s at a concert watching the performers because god he wishes he could do what they were doing. 

Andy gets quite jealous, another insecurity of his. He doesn’t quite believe that he’s capable of having someone so fantastic as Avery stick around for much longer and so he gets jealous, when this happens he can get quite possessive. Yes, he is jealous of Micah even though he will deny it over and over again because really why should he be jealous of someone so tiny. 

In his twenties he was in a few relationship with several women at the same time. He didn’t consider them relationships just hook ups in various cities. He made sure that they all knew this but it can get very confusing to a woman when a man texts you that he’s thinking about you when you’re away from each other, and he had certain “charms” to get them to calm down when they got jealous. And perhaps the night he met Avery he had a fight with the woman he was seeing in NYC, because “why were you paying so much attention to her?” “It’s my job!”

Though he is incredibly proud of his brother, he’s also very jealous and he sometimes thinks that his parents are more proud of Jeffrey than they are him. This jealousy really does not get in the way of his relationship with Jeff though, and he goes to see as many concerts as he can. He loves his baby brother so much and the two of them are best friends. 

He really loves sex and he really doesn’t mind that Avery doesn’t give as much as she takes because he really loves performing oral sex. (just adding that because well, I had to) 

Though he loves Avery and she now knows this, he doesn’t say it much at all because he really doesn’t believe it needs to be said for it to be true.

He doesn’t have any tattoos, though he really loves the tattoos that Avery has. 

Laura 

She really misses Wyatt as a friend because he was such an important part of her life and though she thought she was ready to give up on that part now that it’s back she isn’t. 

She really feels the most comfortable around Mac, Danny, and Fiona. She feels she can tell them anything and everything and she wouldn’t receive judgement (though she knows that this isn’t quite true when it comes to Fiona). These are the three people in her life that mean the most (aside from her family) and the ones who she cherishes greatly. She honestly doesn’t know what she would do without any of them. 

When she was traveling for the first few months she didn’t know what she was doing and she doubted every move, she was quite angry that she hadn’t applied to any schools, and there were a lot of late night phone calls to her father asking him if this was really what she should be doing because she had spent her entire life wanting to be a lawyer and what if she was missing out on what she was supposed to be doing? 

She honestly doesn’t think that she will be a yoga instructor for the rest of her life and she does want to go to College to do something. What that something is though she isn’t quite sure. 

The title “Wife” or “Mrs” terrifies her and she isn’t sure what to do about that because now she’s engaged and is there any way you can get married and not be someone’s “wife” but “partner”??

The reason why she doesn’t want children is because she’s scared of dying and leaving them without her. She doesn’t want another child to experience what it’s like to grow up without a mother because it really impacted her, more than she lets on. And in the future when she’s pregnant with Cassie, even though she will act strong, she will be absolutely terrified. 

She doesn’t watch a lot of television unless it’s with someone else. When she’s at her house she will open a book rather than turn on a tv show or a movie. 

She isn’t a morning person, despite having to teach several early morning classes. She hates the morning and she hates waking up. She isn’t really a night owl either, though.  Beware waking her up because you will probably get sworn at. The only way to wake her up and not get a “fuck you” thrown at you is to have a cup of coffee ready and waiting. 

She’s really hoping to get Danny to travel for longer than two months. She wants to take him places, she wants to go to places she’s never been with him. It’s very important to her. It is also very important that he told her he would wait for her to come home from any trip she needed to take (actually one of the reasons that made her first start to think about marrying the guy). 

Turn on “Cuckoo” by Lissie and she will dance and sing along with full gusto. It is especially dangerous when she is driving but as she says “it’s a song you need to play when you’re driving.”

kit/isaac, original flavour avery/micah and allie/david

isaac/kit

falls asleep on the couch: isaac falls asleep at his work table pretty routinely but i feel like the couch is kit's domain. i also feel like he just conks out on her shoulder while they're watching tv sometimes. isaac does not have healthy sleeping habits at all.

makes friends with the neighbors: kit. definitely kit. isaac will be in the background like "...can we go inside now or?"

is the adventurous eater: isaac. isaac doesn't care where it came from, only that it tastes good.

hogs the covers at night: kit (fyi, i can't not see these two as spooners)

forgets to do the dishes: isaac.

tries to surprise their partner more often: i feel like kit on a more tangible level. isaac would try to go big but lose steam or spoil it.

leaves dirty laundry on the floor: isaac is far too used to that bachelor lifestyle.

stays up til 2 AM reading: ehh neither? i mean, isaac's up late as hell working on projects and i can see kit being the same way but not necessarily reading. 

sings in the shower: kit

takes the selfies: kit

plans date night: isaac

david/allie

falls asleep on the couch: joe hardy

makes friends with the neighbors: allie moreso - david's a lil anti social.

is the adventurous eater: nooooot sureeeeee?

hogs the covers at night: allie but david doesn't mind as long as he gets some of the sheet.

forgets to do the dishes: neither - they've got a system. she washes, he dries and puts away.

tries to surprise their partner more often: allie

leaves dirty laundry on the floor: nope. neither.

stays up til 2 AM reading: neither - they have two newborns. if they can sleep, they are sleeping. and if they are up at two am, it's because of bea or henry.

sings in the shower: david a little bit.

takes the selfies: allie with david being game for them so long as he doesn't actually have to take the picture. 

plans date night: david has been meaning to do the date night thing for months but you know. babies. two of them.

[chiarasmuse]

oh lord uh lucy/lennon!

ooh i love this, just as i love u! 

falls asleep on the couch oohhhh uhhh both of them. lucy after work, lennon after staying up late either working on a comic or a piece of furniture. i can also see them falling asleep together, like trying to settle down for a movie and falling asleep very quickly.

makes friends with the neighbors i don't know if either of them would? lennon is a little bit too much of an introvert to do that but maybe if he was working in the backyard and the neighbour said hi? 

is the adventurous eater lucy. lennon knows what he likes and he sticks to it.

hogs the covers at night apparently lennon's muse is telling me that he prefers to sleep without blankets unless it's very cold. 

forgets to do the dishes lennon has his clean issues. he keeps things very clean. so this would be lucy?

tries to surprise their partner more often lucy. 

leaves dirty laundry on the floor again lennon has his cleanliness thing so again probably lucy. 

stays up til 2 AM reading both of them. together. and it's adorable. 

sings in the shower lucy. and when he's in a really good mood, lennon will 

takes the selfies neither? 

plans date night lennon. 

[starlingsrps]

caitlin/jackson

Their ringtones for each other: caitin's default ringer is "shake it off" so yep that's jackson's. 

Their FB relationship status: single (caitlin's grumbling about facebook being stupid but she totally has it just to facebook stalk people in her unemployed state).

Whether they are addicted to couples selfies: not addicted per se but yanno - a few.

Which of their friends is over-joyed shipper trash that they are together: oh my god so remember how they're a bridal party coupling and how he's the lone bride's man? that bride is going to be SO PUMPED.

Who overshares intimate relationship details: jackson strikes me as someone who would let it slip more.

Who steals the other’s clothes: sudden mental image of caitlin stone cold stealing a shirt from him if they're watching trash movies at his place and she gets cold and it basically being a blanket on her. he will never see it again.

Who’s the PDA fan: i'm feeling both? like not full on making out on the streets but them as a couple that's comfortable with kissing in public and the like.

Who proposes: god i am weirdly thinking they may be a couple that never gets married -  super long term relationship to the point of being common law but just being like "nah we're good." like that's caitlin (her parents went through an ugly divorce so she's shaky about marriage in general) and i don't know about jackson but that just kind of hit me.

[starlingsrps]

isaac/kit

Their ringtones for each other: isaac’s default ring for everyone is “ring of fire” but when the time comes, she’s getting “i walk the line” because she’s his girl.

Their FB relationship status: single atm

Whether they are addicted to couples: selfies oh god yeah. i vaugely remember something about kit instagramming everything (maybe? i might be going nuts) so it stands to say that there are a lot of super cute couples selfies of them even before they’re a couple.

Which of their friends is over-joyed shipper trash that they are together they need more friends omg.

Who overshares intimate relationship details:  ehhhh neither? idk, lower answer about pda aside, neither of them strike me as the type.

Who steals the other’s clothes: isaac’s got a wicked awesome collection of t-shirts to steal from and so long as they aren’t exceptionally girly, he’d gank a beanie or somesuch from her.

Who’s the PDA fan: isaac

Who proposes: isaac and probably jokingly a lot (“will you marry me?” after she does something awesome that sort of thing) so that when it really goes down it’s like “SURE ISAAC UH-HUH.” “NO REALLY I’VE GOT A RING IN A POCKET SOMEWHERE.”
