baby's all dressed up with nowhere to go, that's the little story of the girl you know, relying on the kindness of strangers, tying cherry knots, smiling, doing party favors. put your red dress on, put your lipstick on, sing your song, song, now the cameras on and you're alive again. independent & private cassie howard from hbo max's euphoria

it's my bestie's birthday!! happy birthday @poguetide three whole decades of you, and while i've barely been here for a year of it. i cannot even begin to express how important you are to me, my portrayal of kie and the obx roleplay community as a whole. your jj is one of the best i've ever had the pleasure of interacting with. he's so deeply layered and beautiful in ways that the pates failed to capture. you've built upon the foundation that rudy gave him and, provide such care and love in doing so. it's challenged the way that i write kie, and i can wholeheartedly say that without your jj, my kie would not be as developed or as nuanced as she is currently.

what you mean to me, goes without saying (mostly because i sent that to you privately) and also because writing this publicly might diminish those words. however, what i will say is that you being in my life has changed it for the better. our friendship is truly kismet and i truly couldn't picture my life without you in it anymore.

so, here's to you my love. i hope your thirties bring you as much love and joy as you've provided me in the short time we've known each other. there is no one that deserves as much light and love as you do.

all my love, always x

as 2025 comes to an end, and 2026 starts there are a few people that i want to say a huge thank you to for making my year all that much better. i appreciate it more than i can put into words.

@poguetide where do i even start with you? genuinely. you are my jj, my platonic soulmate, my older sibling in every way that matters--the kind of presence that doesn't just exist in my life but anchors it. you came into my world and somehow made everything feel less sharp, less lonely, less like i was shouting into the void and hoping someone would hear me. you see me. ooc, ic, all of it -- the good, the messy, the parts i don't always know how to explain. you protect without smothering, guide without controlling, love without conditions. writing kiara alongside your jj feels like breathing; it feels natural, safe, electric in that quiet way that only real connection ever is. and ooc? you have been such a constant. someone i can lean on, laugh with, spiral to, celebrate with. i don't take that lightly. not for a second. you are family to me -- chosen, cherished, permanent. i hope 2026 is gentle with you, but more than that, i hope it is kind. i hope it gives back even a fraction of what you give to others. you deserve peace, joy, creativity, and so much love. i've got you. always. no matter what season we're in.

@pogueframed my john b. my best friend. my ride-or-die in both writing and real life ways. it's actually wild how naturally you slid into my world, like you were always meant to be there. just waiting for the timing to line up. you get me. my humour, my heart, my chaos, my soft spots. writing with you has been such a gift this year; every scene feels alive, grounded, full of intention and care. you bring out sides of kiara that feel honest and deeply rooted, and you've done the same for me ooc. you've been encouraging, steady and endlessly kind ( even if that kindness is cloaked in sarcasm ), even on days when i didn't know how to do any of those things for myself. i am so grateful for your friendship, your talent, and your presence in my life. i hope 2026 brings you clarity, confidence, and so many moments that make you stop and think, yeah... this is good. you deserve a year that feels like home.

@clairezcorner you have been nothing but warmth, creativity, and genuine goodness from the very start. ooc, you are such a lovely soul: kind, patient, and easy to talk to in a way that feels rare these days. ic, the stories we've built together this year have been beautiful, thoughtful, and emotionally rich, and i treasure them rue than i probably say out loud. thank you for trusting me with your characters, for matching my energy, and for making writing feel like collaboration rather than pressure. i hope the new year brings you inspiration in abundance, comfort in your daily life, and stories that excite you just as much as the ones you've given me.

@poguesprincess thank you for being so immediately welcoming, truly. that kind of openness means more than you know, especially in spaces that can sometimes feel intimidating or closed-off. bringing sarah into my world has been such a joy, and writing with you has been easy, fun, and genuinely fulfilling. i'm so grateful for the kindness you've shown me and the creativity you've shared. i hope 2026 treats you gently and gives you room to thrive, both in writing and beyond it

@depictedblue oh, you have such a special place in my heart. giving me my first and still favourite wlw ship for kie is something i will never forget. the care, tenderness, and depth you bring to cassie; and to our story; has meant so much to me this year. writing with you has felt safe, affirming and exciting in all the right ways, and i'm so grateful i got to experience that with you. thank you for trusting me, for sharing your creativity, and for helping me tell a story that genuinely matters to me. i hope 2026 brings you love, softness, confidence, and so many moments where you feel proud of what you create.

to all of my mutuals: thank you for being part of my year, my writing, my heart. thank you for choosing to incvlude kie and i in your lives. here's to a new year, may it bring better days, deeper stories, and a little more hope than the last. love always, ghostie x

Please stop musing your god awful Kie. It’s a pain to read her in my interactions and to suffer through the words that you quite clearly can’t string together.

at first, i wasn’t going to answer this. but, it’s honestly really sweet that you went out of your way to send this. there’s a block button that you can easily find if you really don’t like my take. otherwise, fuck you & have a nice day.

this is not meant to be rude… but why are you ship exclusive with a jj? doesn’t that limit your interactions?

for a long time, i had little to zero ships with kiara. jj writers were scarce and hardly ever replied to lil ole me. when i first spoke to nova and they created @poguetide they weren’t a jiara shipper. it took a lot of threads, headcanons and effort to get them to where they are. our jiara, i feel is incredibly canon divergent. because of how much effort we put in. with that effort, i feel like romantically, nova’s jj is the only jj i can romantically ship with. they’re the only one my kie is interested in shipping with romantically. other dynamics are always available and she’s open — depending on chemistry to ships with other characters!

beep beep how’s my portrayal ?

🧸 What would their younger self think of them now?

when i think about my kiara and her younger self, the first thing i have to acknowledge is the shock. it would be a profound, almost gut-wrenching betrayal for the younger, more idealistic version of her. the thirteen-year-old kiara, the one fresh from her "save the turtles" phase and armed with a rigid set of morals handed down by her parents, would see the current kiara as a failure. she'd look at the girl who lies to her parents, who consorts with criminals, who has put the "pogue life" above her activism, and would be horrified. the core of her identity back then was about doing the right thing, the clean thing. but that's just the surface-level shock. the real depth of her reaction is more complicated. because once the initial judgement subsided, a different feeling would start to creep in: pride. little kie was all about authenticity and fighting for the underdog. she would see that the current kiara is living that, just not in the way she ever expected. she didn't save the world, but she built a world for the people who needed it most. she would be proud that kir found her real tribe, not the one her parents approved of, but the one that would bleed and die for her. she'd be proud that kie stood by john b when the whole island thought he was a murderer. she'd be proud that she defended pope and jj with a ferocity that her younger self only reserved for environmental causes. the girl who lectured people on recycling grew into a woman who would take a punch for her friends. that's a kind of authenticity, isn't it? it's just messier. and this is where it gets really interesting, because this is the part that would truly blow her mind: she would think it's cool. the younger kie was an adventurer at heart. the current kiara didn't just read about distant places; she went to them. she chased a gold-laden galleon to the bahamas and a sunken cross to a remote island in the caribbean. she's seen more of the world in a raw, unfiltered, life-or-death way, than most people ever will. little kie, despite her rigid morals, had a spark of wonderlust. she would look at the near-death experiences in exotic locations and think, "wow,. she actually did it." she might not approve of the how; the treasure hunting and the constant running; but she would be in awe of the what. she lived the adventure she only ever dreamed about. ultimately, little kie would have to reconcile the fact that the girl she became is a direct result of the choices she made. the compromises, the rebellion, the love for a boy she was told to avoid... that's what led her to where she is now. it's a life that dirtier, more dangerous, and far less predictable than the one she had planned. but it's also a life filled with a fierce, unbreakable loyalty and a kind of love that the younger her couldn't even comprehend. she'd be shocked, she'd be proud, and deep down, she'd be a little bit envious of the girl who got to see the world not from a classroom or a guided tour, but from the dock of a stolen boat with the people she calls home.
