a gif to describe you:
hello and welcome to the Most Extra Request Ever™. welcome. pls strap in! this request is for a cohort of people that (mostly) graduated from magnolia high in the class of 2011, and who are all interconnected through recently-deceased sam friar. as it often goes in small towns, kids who spent their whole lives being around each other tend to part ways at graduation and never see each other again. in this group’s case, they have no choice but to come back together for better or worse, and it’s done a great job at pointing out any cracks that still remain from years ago.
if you want to look at the chart above, pink = romantic / green = friendly / red = antagonistic / purple = familial. each character has a p...retty extensive blurb with lots of connections so we can try and ensure connections and interaction, but i think it’s rly important that everyone knows that these were relationships in high school (for the most part) and definitely don’t have to represent current relationships unless specified (like people who dated in high school don’t have to be dating now, people could have gone away even if it doesn’t specify, etc etc). also!! there will obviously be more connections made, i just could only put so much into graphic and writing before it got to be Too Much!
if you’re interested in a spot pls reply to this or message me or send me a lil msg on discord (morg#3278). xoxo bless

samson friar (deceased): brilliant but lazy
sam grew up as the kid who acted out, who threw fits in class and got into fights on the playground. not many people really knew how hard sam had it, with strict evangelical parents who took all their frustrations out on him. at the end of the day, after using most of his time and energy being the protective big brother for twin boy 3 and little sister girl 1, he didn’t have much left for school. even though he’d always been smart, brimming with potential, he fought forces both external and internal - including only later-diagnosed borderline personality disorder - on his short-lived path to success. as he got older, the bad boy persona he’d acquired by acting out stuck hard and he rolled with it. he had his siblings and best friends since childhood, boy 4 and girl 3, to fall back on. their ragtag bunch got a pretty gnarly name for themselves, skipping class to smoke and throwing parties in abandoned houses. no one ever expected sam to start dating girl 4, universally known to be an uptight prude bitch. something clicked between them, and even though girl 3’s longstanding crush stood in the way of their relationship, it flourished regardless. for a while, she influenced him for the better. he shaped up, got his grades up, even made plans for college. that phase of their relationship was clearly a manic one, since those dreams died quickly. the romance was intensely passionate but also toxic, and despite the animosity she held for him for convincing her to stay local for school to be together and the personal struggles he faced, they refused to break up. in fact, they even decided to get married. about six months before his death, on the heels of the discovery that girl 4 had fallen pregnant, they got engaged. despite the romantic gesture, it couldn’t save their relationship or stop fate from intervening. when girl 4 miscarried, sam went off the rails. a minor drug habit that was once recreational became much more, and not long ago he ended up overdosing, leaving the carnage of family, friends, and lovers behind.
girl 1 (22-24): baby bookworm
sam and boy 3’s little sister, girl 1 was always tagging along with them. she never really fit in with people her age, never really fit in with people her brothers’ ages, so she was often left feeling isolated from everyone. this meant she often retreated into herself, not pursuing academics because of passion but instead because it was all she really had, one constant she could point to that would always be there. she hadn’t realized that perhaps some of the turmoil she felt came from her repressed sexuality until one night, after a party her brothers had begrudgingly let her go to, girl 2 kissed her. she’d never felt a crush like that before and never thought it would be with another girl. when boy 1 moved to magnolia, the two outcasts got along very quickly, becoming best friends and hanging out every single day. understandably, girl 1 was crushed when she found out that girl 2 had taken a liking to him and, apparently, the feelings were reciprocated. caught between her friendship and the protection of an almost-relationship she couldn’t even admit to, she decided to cut off the friendship with boy 1. just before her brother’s death, she finally gave in to boy 4, her brother’s best friend’s long-standing crush, and it’s not that she doesn’t like him, or that she doesn’t like boys, but that she still sees girl 2 at the grocery store and wonders whether it meant as much to girl 2 as it did to her. there’s also the strange fact that, when she looks at boy 4, she gets subtle reminders of her brother that make his loss easier, and isn’t it close enough to love that they’ve gotten each other through this?
girl 2 (24-25): prom queen
never the smartest in the bunch, girl 2 had to rely on street smarts, common sense and good looks to get along. clever in her own way, she was always particularly attuned to people - how to make them tick, how to get what she wanted, how to make connections like no other. maybe that’s why she was always flitting from guy to guy - though girl 1 would certainly say otherwise. she went from one bad relationship to another in high school, trying to find something in a guy that she couldn’t find on her own. after an ugly breakup with her long-term boyfriend, boy 2, that ended in absolute chaos, she was surprised to find herself interested in the unassuming new boy, boy 1. her friends, including part-time friend and part-time enemy girl 4, were surprised that she’d go for a nice guy - but she knew she needed a change of pace. getting girl 1 to leave her alone in the process was just an added perk - i mean, she was never gay or anything, just curious, and was that so wrong?

girl 3 (24-25): bad genes
girl 3 was hardly given a fighting chance by the Powers That Be. her drug-addicted parents abandoned her early, leaving her with her not-much-better relatives, a revolving door of grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and the like. it was no wonder she started hanging out with fellow garbage kids, boy 4 and sam. it was a surprise to her, though, that she found herself head over heels in love with sam. the feeling was never returned, really, outside of a few awkward kisses or fondling when he was off with girl 4. everyone was always asking why she didn’t just date boy 3, but the girl was perpetually oblivious to his advances because she was always focused intently on sam. at least she thought she was - but his death proved otherwise. she had actually thought things were looking up, and had been given renewed hope for her repressed love after they slept together one night. when he overdosed despite everything she’d done and everything she felt, girl 3 blamed herself more than anyone. the only thing keeping her from going off the rails (just like her one-time true love) is boy 3, and she’s starting to see what everyone was always talking about when they insisted she choose him instead.
girl 4 (24-25): academic alpha bitch
how do you not crack under the pressure when the weight of the world is on your shoulders? girl 4 was always so good at that, not without the help of anti-anxiety meds and meticulous journaling, always keeping up appearances to be the good, smart, promising girl everyone expected her to be. sam was her break from that, something that shocked absolutely everyone. she was too good, too smart, and had too much potential to be with someone like that. really, though, he was the only thing that made her feel anything but anxiety or anger. she made enemies everywhere she went, seeing everyone as a competitor, from her so-called best friend girl 2 to sam’s best friend girl 3 to her class president opponent, boy 2. sam was always her ally, no matter what, even if they fought. everyone blamed it on him, but she made mistakes too - namely, sleeping with boy 2 after a particularly bad fight. in truth, she wasn’t even sure whose baby it was, but either way she was relieved in a way when she miscarried. sam… not so much. she watched his downward spiral but didn’t have the tools to stop it as he froze her out and distanced himself further and further away from her - and, as she saw it, toward girl 3. girl 4 was the one to find him, and it’s a memory she could never forget, something that makes her regret the relief she felt not to be inextricably linked to him. grief-stricken as she is, how can she not see this as a fresh start?
texas was nothing like where boy 1 came from. when he transferred to magnolia high, he didn’t know up from down or this from that. he was helpless - and girl 1 helped him. he developed a crush on her quickly, warming to her southern drawl and the way she talked when she got excited about something she was telling him about. at the same time, he started getting closer and closer to his mentor, the girl who was assigned to help him get acclimated to his new home and his new school: girl 2. it was strange to him that, when he became friends with girl 2, girl 1 stopped sitting next to him in economics, stopped eating with him at lunch, stopped answering his texts or calls. he didn’t see the correlation until later, when girl 2 made tasteless a joke about girl 1 being a lesbian. he had to adapt, either sink or swim in the high school environment he found himself in, and being with girl 2 meant swimming - and anyway, girl 1 clearly wasn’t interested anyway.

boy 2 (24-25): big man on campus
boy 2 had everything he needed to succeed in life. his family had money in oil, he was exceedingly smart, he was good at sports and great with the ladies. he had everything going for him - well, almost everything. the only thing standing between him and success was a little temper that found him getting into fights on the football field or getting into screaming matches with his ex-girlfriend girl 2 in the middle of the hallway at school. he just needed something to channel all that energy into, so he signed up to run for class president, a good old fashioned competition that he could put some positive energy into. he never expected it to be such a tough battle, and much less expected to get into it with girl 4. perpetual rivals in school, their rivalry came to a head during the presidential election. she won, but he developed a fascination with her and a hatred for her garbage boyfriend, sam. he went off for college, but she never really left his mind. he came back recently after losing his job (he says he resigned, but that’s twisted the whole truth a little) and met girl 4 in a bar, and he thought their getting together would be a good thing for them - he could give her everything sam couldn’t, everything she needed and deserved. turns out he was just a distraction, and he told himself he’d draw a line. the line has been drawn even further since sam’s death, since boy 2 definitely doesn’t want to get involved with a dead guy’s fiancee. still, he can’t help but wish she’d reach out…

boy 3 (24-25): the unassuming one
boy 3 always felt positively boring, not good or bad but somewhere plainly in the middle. his twin brother sam was always getting the attention - mostly negative, but boy 3 quickly became a firm believer in life that all attention is good attention. he was always grateful for the protection he got, for himself and for little sister girl 1, but at the same time was resentful of his brother for his notoriety. they shared everything, like best friend boy 4, and everything else went automatically to sam. sam never respected what he wanted to do or who he wanted to see, including girl 3. sam always knew that he liked her, and yet sam used her crush on him to his advantage at any possible time. as close as they always had been, the resentment was too much for boy 3 to handle and, when he got the chance, he decided to go off and backpack across europe to find himself before going to college across the country. he’s back now for the funeral, and while he know better who he is now, he can’t help but hate himself a little for driving a wedge between himself and his other half. he’s falling into old habits now, trying to reconnect with the person he used to be in any way he can - like how he’s fallen back in with girl 3. now, he can’t tell whether this is growth, or if he’s just regressing back to his lesser self.
suggested faces: logan lerman, joe keery, nat wolff, cole sprouse, carter jenkins
boy 4 (24-25): class clown
no one ever took boy 4 seriously. he was always sort of dumb, this caricature of a class clown that had nothing else to offer. after a while, he sort of saw himself as that, too. he moved in a pack with boy 3 and sam, cracking jokes whenever he could and coasting along until high school would finally end. he spent so much of his young life hanging out with the twins that he became well acquainted with girl 1, their little sister. the boys had their own things, girlfriends and schoolwork and everything, and as they got older and boy 4 found himself devoid of any real passion, he spent a lot of idle time with her, learning from her and maybe, secretly, falling in love with her. he always knew how protective sam was of her, though, and as fiercely loyal as he was, he would never sacrifice their friendship for anyone - not even someone as amazing as her. sam dying was the worst pain he’s ever felt in his life, and if being around girl 1 is mutually beneficial, wouldn’t sam be okay with that? he has to tell himself yes, otherwise the guilt would overtake him and he can’t deal with that on top of everything.
would anyone be interested in a family w a bunch of adopted grown up kids???? probs no older than abt 25-26??? is that somethin anyone would be into? (w lots of drama and angst + the parents would exist on site so u would get to do parent/child relationships which are so much fuuuuun 👀👀)

classy but sassy, queen of shade, everything she says sounds like a back-handed compliment, constantly complaining about the idiots who come into the er, carries a bunch of lollipops in her lab coat pocket to hand out to the grown men who bitch and moan, not good with emotions, believes actions speak louder than words, drawn towards drama and “”complicated”” relationships, prone to road rage, drinks wine like it’s water.

welcome to a stupid request. the best kind. so shiloh findlay spent most of her summers as a teenager at camp edgewood - which is a camp like 20 minutes south of magnolia where she essentially made all of her life long best friends. deadass will probably play the camp edgewood camp song when she walks down the aisle if she ever gets married. all of the following people have basically just been stupid involved in each others lives for the past 15 or so years.
so camp edgewood is some 20 minutes south of magnolia, like i said. it’s a camp specifically for girls, while camp firewood is basically its brother camp - located on the same lake, but meant for boys. the camps have since merged - the did like a decade ago and everyone has been bitter about it as hell since it happened tbh. basically they got up to to way too much shit. lots of sneaking out to see each other past curfew. the camps did a lot together - camp outings, camp parties, camp activities etc etc etc, so they all wound up just spending too much time together. they were grossly codependent during the summers, and had separation anxiety when the fall came and they all went their separate ways. although i imagine most of them grew up in magnolia so they went to school together as well, BUT not the same!! they all became counselors in training when they turned 15 and then counselors for a while after that. i’ve got some more intricate detailed stuff for subplots and all that mess but plz feel free to add more. make it a huge mess w me. faces are open. ages should be 27-28. love me plz.

spark notes: does yoga every morning, makes the most inappropriate jokes at inappropriate times, has to know the plot of a movie/tv show before she watches it… and in the same vein; always reads the last page of a book first, refuses to go to bed angry, gets obsessive about a task to distract herself from things that’re actually worrying her/important, sticks post-it notes around the house (on the bathroom mirror, on the front door, in the cupboard on a shelf etc.) for her fiancé, plans holidays in her spare time, eats the cream part of an oreo first, could probably live on dark chocolate if she had to, all she’s ever wanted is a house with a porch tbh, was head cheerleader and part of a sorority in college and she dares you to say anything about it, never lets anyone leave her house hungry, loves a monogram, still goes to church on sundays, truly believes sweet tea could save the world.
born and raised in magnolia, she’s your stereotypical modern day southern belle. she will call you sir/ma’am/honey/sweetheart, her hair’s somehow always perfect and her nails always perfectly manicured, she makes peach cobbler to die for, never swears (er, in public), always makes THE BEST distractions when you mess up and she notices (which she always does), FULLY enjoys sending thank-you notes and learnt her most important life lesson from marie in the aristocats ladies don’t start fights but they sure can finish them . basically all rules that her momma ingrained in her. that’s not to say she’s one dimensional and a mary-sue because girl has her flaws.
she was happy to be paraded around like a little debutante before her mom died when she was twelve years old. her dad ended up remarrying literally a year later and whilst hollie didn’t have an issue with her step-mom, it still made her a little bitter and a little rebellious… so she did her best to get the hell out of dodge as soon as she could.
she went to college in austin, was def part of a sorority, and didn’t really know what she wanted to major/minor in so she flip-flopped about for the first two years tbh. a girl in her sorority’s mom worked with a high-end fashion designer and managed to score the girls ticket to new york fashion week - and it was there that hollie got scouted by a modelling agency.
she basically threw caution to the wind and went with it. she dropped out of college, moved to milan and basically started working on her modelling career. which worked out pretty well for her, really, she hit it pretty big and was a pretty big name in the fashion world until she… decided to retire at twenty-eight because she’d gotten bored with it and she was kind of sick of the way the industry treated her???
then she made plans to travel the world (literally) with a high school sweetheart of hers who she literally hadn’t spoken to since high school (bc why not) and fortunately for her he ended up being the love of her life.
after that, she moved back to magnolia and she’s got a pretty happy little life. she runs a little freelance photography business, half in magnolia, half in austin… but turns out she’s a small town girl at heart. she loves hosting dinner parties and having lunch with her girlfriends or getting her nails done. she’s engaged and expecting her first baby too so LIFE IS GOOD. aside from her husband-to-be is actually sick so :) she’s just trying to SMILE HER WAY THROUGH IT. she says she didn’t spend half her life learning how to spell dubanowski properly so that he could go and kick the bucket on her. SO.
needs: pls pls pls PLS give me a group of super tight girl friends that’ve been friends since they were like…. babies. sisterhood of the traveling pants style. i might even throw up a request but w/e. just friends honestly? she’s a giant sweetheart who likes disney and eating ice cream and… having everyone around for dinner. idk basically everything? maybe some people who didn’t like her back in hs? neighbours? people she’s done photographs for? she’s been back in magnolia for about 5ish years now so?? LOVE HER PLS
