COMFORT FOOD
It’s not very often that Della needs comfort food. When she’s sad she tries to figure out a solution to her problem rather than wallow. However, she has had points in her life where comfort food was necessary. When moments like that arise, she turns to sugary treats. Della’s always had a huge sweet tooth. Candy, sweet fruit && baked goods are usually her go to. More specifically: strawberries, chocolate && sugar cookies.
HEADCANON 001
DORIAN GRAY && LOVE
it’s glossed over some in his personality section, but i felt the need to elaborate on it more. since my depiction derives mainly from that of penny dreadful and not the oscar wilde book: the picture of dorian gray, he varies.
as for love, dorian gray doesn’t fall in love. there’s infatuation or insatiable feelings but never love. there are those that peak his interest more than others. for example: vanessa ives and even lily frankenstein, but with vanessa it was more so he saw some of himself in her, a certain level of darkness, twisted nature ; in which he tried to get her to stop having so much control and well, succeeded on some level. none of the people you saw him engage with was he remotely in love. they were new thrills, sensations and such. in his canon verse you’ll never hear him say he loves another, maybe that he loves something about them at most, but never them themselves. people are entertainment, someone that keeps his interest intact.
his strategies will change as the times do, so in modern times he might lie to someone ( like he usually does. through twisting his words so that it isn’t a flat out lie ) and say he loves them, only if he still has some level of interest in them and knows that doing so will keep them around. he’s cunning, manipulative and always twisting at people’s emotions and thoughts. so, if it gets him the end result he wants he’ll do it because in all honesty, he sees that in modern-day love and being in love feels more like a need whereas in the 1800s it seemed more like a want, marriage sometimes came because of status and not exactly always being in love. it was what was expected where modern times, being in love seems even more romanticized.
he’ll show affection, have gentle touches, smile at you just to get you to believe he feels something for you. he’ll buy nice trinkets, lavish dinners and pamper you --- again to get you to believe something that really isn’t there. he’ll pick up on interests and use them. it’s his manipulative nature and when the time comes where he is bored ( his most loathsome feeling besides being emotionally broken -- thanks vanessa ) he’ll walk away with no real remorse.
001 - THE MISTY LURE
In the battle frontier series, Ash is gifted one of Misty’s lures via Professor Oak.
He keeps ahold of it all the time now for luck. It also reminds him of his first ever friend on his pokemon journey. He can rely on this lure to help him remember that he can carry on. Sure, sometimes it makes him miss Misty even more than usual, but he has tons of good memories with her. The lure also serves as a reminder for him to call her whenever he has the chance. He’s not good at keeping in touch with many people, but I like to think that Misty is one of the few.
h e a d c a n o n ; 01
When Juliette was born, her mother died from complications during labor. She grew up having just her dad, and she idolized him. He was a bit of a free spirit. A few months ago, on her 18th birthday, her father was shot and killed after he was caught trying to free the grounder prisoners. Juliette has carried that around with her ever since.
[001] → the one where they meet again (twice)
When they see each other again at long last, it isn't on purpose. Justin was away on tour for several months, and when he returned to the city, he found a new place. Adam tries not to think about him, or to consider what they had together. He keeps the apartment, but he doesn't rent out the extra room. It's a cheap enough place that he's able to keep it in the beginning.Then came the casting as Monty Navarro in A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, followed by a Tony, and suddenly he's not really giving any consideration to needing to move or rent out the space. Which he likes. Adam doesn't want to leave, but he also doesn't want someone else there. He and Justin were roommates for years, and it just wouldn't seem right to have another person living with him. Kind of like they were taking his place, which Adam knew no one ever could.
He still sees Brielle and Sadie and Rowan and Toby and all of their old friends, but it's not the same. Everyone's shifting into new jobs, and they can tell Justin's absence is harder on Adam than he's willing to admit. Putting on a happy face is something more than just one of them is experienced at doing.
Yet he doesn't crack. At least not in front of his friends. He doesn't tell them about his anger issues. His acting is better than ever because he has so much emotion to funnel out in order to avoid creating problems, but he doesn't spend a ton of time hanging out with castmates because he's too afraid of snapping. They like him enough, but they're not friends. Not like his group of fellow NYU alumni.
There are a few times when he snaps. Thinking back to what he used to have with Justin is harder than he wants it to be. But it's his fault, isn't it? He's the one who flipped out about not being told Justin was considering going on tour. He should have been patient and listened. He should have been proud of his best friend. There are a lot of things he should have done, but now it's too late. They never really broke up, but some agreements are so tacit they're like hollow screams, and this is one Adam can never shake.
One instance led to him trashing the entire apartment. It's childish and he knows it, but he can't get himself to unleash his anger elsewhere - it has to happen where he remembers Justin most. The whole place is in disarray, he's going to need a new dinnerware set, and he's pretty sure he broke his phone, but he doesn't care. All that matters is that he did this, and yet he can't fix it. He can't just put on a smile and pretend like he never got mad at Justin. He can't just laugh and act like Justin never left. Because Justin's not coming back, and no matter how unprepared he is to acknowledge that, he knows that soon he won't have a choice.
The more internal the anger gets, the worse it grows. He leaves the city for a short while once his How to Succeed contract expires and goes to stay with his parents in New Jersey. It's not until after that he tries to audition again. The first several are failures, but his parents keep reminding him that he's stronger than this. They tell him to think of the good parts of Justin, the fun times they had together, the crazy stories they always had to share. They tell him to think about all of the little things that mattered between them, to push aside the rage, and funnel the good and bad together into his work.
That's when he lands the role of Monty. And it's great. It's fantastic. It's everything he's always wanted. For his acting career, at least. Brielle's nearly in tears when she hugs him on opening night, and it's almost enough to distract him from the thought that he doesn't have Justin by his side the whole time. Almost.
With his life seemingly back on track, Adam tries to move on. He even hooks up with the girl who plays Phoebe - kind of an ironic turn of events - but it's more of a silly, friendly fling, and they go back to being friends without any sort of benefits after the short shift. He likes it better that way.
When his birthday comes along, he insists he doesn't want anything big. Adam never wanted big celebrations focused on him, anyway. The cast gets him a cake, and his other friends hold a little get together at Sadie's apartment. It's nice. It's really nice. It's more than he expected, and he's grateful they still care about him, even as he's begun to grow a little more distant. He isn''t doing it on purpose, and they seem to recognize that.
The Newsies tour has been over for a while, but Adam hasn't asked anyone what Justin's up to, and no one's tried to tell him. It's better that way. There's a package sitting on the kitchen counter from Justin. It doesn't have a return address, but the handwriting with the apartment number is unmistakable. He doesn't know what's inside, and he doesn't want to. Maybe it'll make things better or maybe it'll make them hurt more. When it doesn't start smelling after two weeks, he figures it's not food, and leaves it.
The next season, his contract is renewed, and he finally knows what show Justin's working on: Gigi. He doesn't know this because of their friends or because he looked. He knows it because when he watched the Tony nominations, Justin's name was announced. Sure, he's behind on the times, but he doesn't care. He's proud. Maybe Gigi was never his favorite film, but now when he thinks about it, he imagines how Justin brings life to the role and how fun the show must be. He wishes he could congratulate his past friend. Yet even if he could send a text, he doesn't. It doesn't feel right. Justin deserves to celebrate without having old issues brought to the surface.
Tony night comes and of course Adam attends. He would never miss the opportunity to celebrate his friends and fellow performers. Justin doesn't win and he's a little disappointed, but he doesn't see the other man at any point in the night.
It's that evening he finally opens the package. It's a scrapbook, and he doesn't pause before opening it. As he flips through the pages at long last, he just sits there in silence and gazes at them. His eyes are glazed over, the sense of being in someone else's body as he sees each photo of them together or article about either of their accomplishments growing stronger. When the cover is finally shut and the book's back on the coffee table, Adam puts his head in his hands and starts to cry. Each day is a step of progress, but it's also a reminder of what he lost. What he didn't have to lose, but what he threw away because he couldn't control his own snippiness.
It doesn't matter that he has work the next day; he doesn't go to bed for many hours afterward. He's not really doing much of anything for the first few. Though when it hits one in the morning, he takes a deep breath and goes over to Justin's room. Adam nearly knocks on the door, before calming himself down and opening it gently. The cleaning service he has visit every once in a while has kept it from getting dusty, so it still looks as it always did, except a little emptier.
He thinks back to the evening of the fight. Why had he packed Justin's suitcase for him? Why had he encouraged him to go? Why hadn't he apologized or fought for them to work? Because Justin had hurt him. It was a lame excuse in retrospect, but it was true. Adam couldn't trust his anger at such a precarious time. Now, he still didn't want to take it all back. There were moments he did, but in reality, he knew that he continued to feel as if Justin should've been more open with him from the start.
So while he's resigned himself to this complex of conflicting feelings and thoughts on the topic, Adam isn't necessarily ready to see his past boyfriend and best friend just yet. The issue isn't that they attend the same event - somehow they've managed to avoid each other thus far at such things.
It happens at a little coffee shop. It used to be one of their favorite's, but after they parted ways, both of them stopped going. Each has only been back a few times, so it's purely by chance that they show up at the same time. Adam is thanking the person for his drink and about to leave when he nearly runs into Justin, quite literally. The other young man is on his way to wait for his drink when they turn around just at the right time to avoid smashing into one another.
The moment of recognition is so fast it almost takes a moment.
"Oh. Hi." Justin's the first one to speak.
"Justin," Adam pauses and tries to push up the corners of his lips. It's not really a situation they can run from without saying anything else, so he tries to come up with something to say. "How are you?" It's a dumb question. A really dumb question, because the answer would take hours to give.
So, of course, Justin's response is two words. "I'm okay. You?"
"Fine. Fine." He nods.
They don't have much more to say to each other and they both know it. This isn't a grand reunion, a moment where they both break down, apologize, and make up. He doesn't ask Justin to move back in, and the latter doesn't request to do such a thing. Instead they just mumble words of parting and Adam heads outside. Of course, it's raining now, and so he needs to dash with his coffee.
--
The meeting encourages him to move on with his life. Not directly. Still, the reminder that this is reality and it's not changing gets Adam thinking more seriously about how he has to make sure to take control of his choices.
When the season is ending, Gentleman's Guide is going on tour, and Adam signs up. Yet he's not moving away to escape - he's moving away to start anew. It's a big step for him, especially since sometimes change makes him uneasy, but he's excited, nonetheless. He doesn't sell the apartment; he's not quite ready for that. The tour's an amazing experience. He can easily understand why Justin was so keen on going what was now… years ago. Wow. It really has been a while.
All of the new people involved with the show are great, and they have way too much fun as a group. There are so many new cities to explore, and even if he's working a crazy amount of hours, he takes as many opportunities to explore as he can. It's cathartic in a way he never would have expected. The new, adventurous part of him is set free, but the familiar comfort of being involved in a show remains.
When he finally returns to the city, Adam feels as if he's truly begun to start over now. He moves back to the apartment, but he redoes the whole thing. He joins the cast of Cinderella as Prince Topher, and it's new and amazing and he has a ton of fun with it.
The real test comes months later, at a party hosted by Brielle. She's always been quite the party planner, but it's been some time since Adam's actually attended such an event. This time, he knows it's inevitable he'll run into Justin. He's to entirely sure how it will go, but he's calmer and more determined than he's been in a very long time, and he takes that as a good sign.
When he arrives, Justin isn't there. When Justin walks through the door, Adam doesn't look over to see him. When they sit to eat, they're not next to one another. After dinner, when they begin talking, no one stops them.
It's just small talk, but it's an actual conversation. It's simple and inconsequential, yet it means so much, because it's them talking. It's them talking without having to, without having a topic suggested. Yeah, they've been drinking a little, but they're more excitable than drunk, and none of their friends know what to say when they overhear the two young men laughing together. At the end of the evening, they're still on faintly hesitant footing, but they make plans to go for coffee together, and this time to do it on purpose.
It's not a date. It's the beginning of their attempt to rebuild their friendship. To Adam, there hasn't been anything so important in years.
Headcanon 001 || Journals
Sebastian Hawthorne keeps two very detailed, very elaborate journals that he dedicates at least fifteen minutes of his time every day to write in.
One journal is that containing all of his conquests, filled with pictures, notes, key traits, and musings about each girl. He writes down their number, in case he ever wants to revisit the land of the conquered, their name, their address, bust size, everything he needs to know. He has one page dedicated to Kathryn, though he has yet to conquer.
The second is that of his schemes, plots, and bets. His step-sister is frequently featured in this one, considering they often do them together.
