Hello! Well, I just wanted to compile the MBs I made for the rainbow ask, because they ended up being so fun. Also I added Lucas because he's not an OC but he has a colour and looks really pretty with Liz's, sue me. Also Oliver who no one asked about but I still love him and is clearly yellow.
Liz and Lucas, Oliver and Martina, and Philip and Simon
Okay that's all byeeee
Picrew Tag
Thank you for the tag, Elli! @ariendiel I loved this one so much!
So, I'm still on my Simon bs because I can't let that man go, you know? And also, didn't want Liz to be alone (originally she had the music frame but between her and Simon he was always gonna win for that one)
Have a Liz Thays and a Simon Porter!
I'm not sure who has been tagged, but I'm going with @follies-fixture, @sailorpleiades, @daisybarks, @longbobmckenzie, and @thoracicorchid, if they want to give it a go with this picrew!
WIP Wednesday
Thank you for the tag, @kiki-the-creator, @thoracicorchid, @aislinnstanaka, and @kingkassam!! I wanted to post something from TTT but it's all either still on "commentated gameplay" stages and no one wants to see that, or from the baby or heart rate challenges and I've already posted about those so... I'm back on my unpolished Uncertain Sequel™ bullshit, I'm sorry. But hey, it's Sunday brunch with the Kohs!
---
"Honey, could you come with me for a second? We should get a couple more bottles of champagne into those buckets, shouldn't we?" Martina hooked her arm around Lucas' and pulled him away from the group.
Once they were inside, he was the first to talk. "So?"
Martina leaned on one of the kitchen counters. "I was about to ask you that." He rested against the wall and crossed his arms in front of his chest. Her gaze studied his expression carefully. "Where is this going with you two?"
Ah, here we go, mom... "Forward, hopefully."
"Is she serious?"
"She is."
"Are you?"
"I am. Very serious."
"Lucas, you do remember you two have only met-"
"Oh, really? We hadn't noticed!" She stayed silent, waiting for his answer. That he hadn't let her finish asking the question didn't mean he would get away with avoiding it. He sighed. "We know, trust me. But these were not normal circumstances, it's all... condensed. We kinda have a year's worth of experiences and talks, trust me."
"If you say so..."
"You wouldn't believe how strange and intense things get in that damn place. It's quite literally the kind of bonding you get after surviving a crisis."
"I reckon that's the case. Still," Her tone softened a bit and she placed a hand over his arms, "I really don't want to see you hurt." She pressed a finger to his chest, over his heart. "Be careful with that, okay?"
"I'll try, but that's not really mine anymore."
"Oh, wow." They both laughed at how unlike him his words were. "We saw you saying it. It was really strange, not going to lie, but really sweet." He blushed slightly and she smiled.
"So? What about you? What do you think?"
She raised a sceptical eyebrow. "Do you care?"
For fuck's sake, you're my mother. "Shouldn't I?"
"You shouldn't; and if I raised you right, and I certainly did, then no, you don't care what I, or your father, think."
"I mean, it won't change my decisions, but that doesn't mean that I'm completely indifferent to it..."
She smiled again. "Glad to hear it." I'd almost forgotten that everything's a test with you. It's exhausting. "But anyway, I'm not taking what I've seen at face value, so I won't say I know her yet."
"You're a good judge of character, though." Give me something, mom.
---
You'll have to get me to publish it to see what Martina thinks about Liz. God, I love Martina.
Anyway, I'm tagging @lasswithumor, @rennell and @voile-de-lune! I know it's already kinda late, but just in case!
Share something Sunday (Monday)
Thank you so much for the tag, @nerdferatum!!
I... didn't really know what to share, to be honest. So we're still going with the uncertain sequel! Imagine if I never post it, all these unconnected fragments and characters... Anyway, this is just a draft because it's mostly dialogue, I have to add more description to it eventually, but I really liked the reference so here we go. If the Lucas stans didn't murder me for the dad HCs, now the Friends fans will. Check on me tomorrow, just in case.
I'm tagging @daisybarks, @thoracicorchid and @longbobmckenzie in case they want to do this, even if it's late like me (or you can take it as an early tag for next Sunday if you want)
Snippet from the Uncertain Sequel™, 350 words.
Lucas sat behind the wheel, staring at the empty street before them. "Liz, you don't have to endure my family's bullshit. I'll find us a way out of Sunday."
"I know, and it's fine. How hard can it be?"
"Why did you agree to go?"
"Because your mother was suspecting something, wasn't she? Discretely questioning you from the side of a polite smile? Mine does that too."
"She thinks something's wrong with me, though, not with... us..."
"Well she's not too far off, is she?"
"Oh, shut it." He finally turned the key and started driving. "I'm trying to work it out, okay?"
"All I'm saying is that going to brunch is easier than explaining everything."
"I guess, when you put it that way... What... What is this, Liz? Where are we?"
"Have we broken up?"
"... No..."
"Good."
"Was that a test?"
"Yes."
"Did I pass?"
"I hope so..."
"So?"
"So... We're... on a... break?"
"Rachel or Ross?"
She snorted and he couldn't stop himself from taking his eyes off the road for a second to look at her. Her smile made his heart feel a little lighter.
"That's actually a very good relationship question. Who was right?"
"Well," Lucas stopped the car at a traffic light and bit his lip, momentarily letting the tension fade away and relishing the familiarity of normal conversation. "I think both kinds of breaks exist."
"You're avoiding the question..."
"I'm not, you just didn't let me finish! Both kinds exist. However, the way it was framed, the way it was more likely to be read at that specific moment they went apart... I don't think Ross was unjustified to believe it was that kind of break."
"And what's 'that kind of break'?"
"The one where you say you're on a break but really there's not much chance of getting back together..."
She stayed silent for a moment. "Yeah, he was right."
"Thank god you agree..."
Liz chuckled again before taking a deep breath. She fixed her eyes on the road in front of her, deliberately avoiding looking at him. "So... What kind of break it this?"
WIP Wednesday
Thank you for the tag, @nerdferatum!
So, TTT has a sequel that I'm not sure if it's ever gonna see the light of day but has quite a few words written. If anything, it's been useful to try my hand at some more angsty stuff. I typically just note down the dialogue and then try to give it more context, so this is very minimal, but here it goes! This is like a forth of a scene but well.
It's already too late to tag people, but if you want to do this consider yourself tagged!!!

"Fine, Liz, whatever. I'll sleep in the guest room."
"No, I'll sleep in the guest room." Liz grabbed her pillow and headed for the door.
"Right." He knew he would regret it the minute he said it, but he couldn't help it. "Gotta keep the moral highground at all costs, I almost forgot."
Liz stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him, eyebrows raised and mouth hanging open. "What the fuck did you just say?"
"There's no cameras here, Liz; there's no 'bigger person' thing to keep going. Who's gonna see this? Are you gonna go around telling people how your boyfriend was so mean and made you sleep in another bed?"
"No, because I would also have to tell them how sad it is that he can't seem to trust me."
He rolled his eyes. "You know that's not what this is about..."
"You can keep thinking it's not, but it is. The only reason it bothers you so much is because you think there's a chance I might like him back. You can't trust that I won't ever feel that way about him again, no matter how many times I tell you that."
"You can't know that. And you can't control it either. If this were about trust it would be like me not trusting that you wouldn't catch a cold. It's ridiculous."
"Then at least you don't trust that I would tell you if I did. But that somehow does not sound ridiculous to you, that I would lie to you about this; that's perfectly reasonable in your mind." She tucked the pillow under her arm to gesticulate with both hands. "You don't trust me, Lucas. And I frankly don't care anymore if you 'want to', if you're 'trying'... That means fucking nothing if the outcome is still this. Us doing this."
She waved a hand between them and threw the pillow back on the bed.
"I could understand mind versus heart. I could understand your mind making you anxious that I have a past with someone, but your heart telling you I love you and that I wouldn't hurt you. And I could understand your heart reacting to fear and making you feel threatened and vulnerable, but your beloved rational mind telling you that I shouldn't be paying for your issues. And I would be sympathetic to your struggle, and do my best to be reassuring to try and make your heart's or mind's job easier, whichever was on my side."
Suddenly there was pain in her voice, as she only then fully realised the nature of the situation as she described it. "But this is not what this is, Lucas. There's no versus here; both halves agree, and neither is on my side. And I'm not fighting against that."
She felt tired and utterly defeated in the middle of her anger.
"I'm not fighting all of you. I'm not working to gain your trust when I've never done anything to lose it. Do whatever the fuck you want."
🌈 for Martina aka Lucas’ mom pls 💅🏼
MARTINA MY (scary) BELOVED.
She is, indeed, Lucas' mom. I associate her with black & white, with a touch of deep red. Obviously.
This is Martina Belmonte.
If anyone's curious about these OCs feel free to ask about them! I don't want to add a lot here because well... You don't know them. I don't know how much you want to know about them, so yeah. This.
send a 🌈 + an oc and i’ll make a moodboard using the color i associate with them
As I said, most of my OCs are unknown because Villa fic, but you can still ask about them (like with this one, just send me Liz/Lucas' + a relationship)
Here's one of Liz's exes
ooh do Liz's ex
OOOOOOOHHHHHH
THANK YOU!
(I ended up kinda hating this one, sorry it's a bit ugly, but... he deserves it, tbf)

I had two exes to pick from, so I went with the asshole I associate with the colour orange (probably because of that picture where he looks orange...)
This is Philip T[redacted]
(Making colour-based MBs is hard because I don't know how to colour correct and these look different on a phone so, sorry! It was fun tho)

🌈 for Simon
Simon, my not-as-chaotic-as-he-seems beloved.
I associate Simon with a few shades of intense blue. At first I thought it's just because my FC for him has blue eyes and also wears a lot of blue, but actually it makes a lot of sense considering what I independently associate with the colour blue. And I love that for him.
Hello, Simon Porter
