Born and raised in DC, mo spent most of her life on the east coast. Spent her winter breaks as a kid in aspen and probably had some regular kids she’d hang out with when she was in town
Went to school for radio broadcasting and has been hopping around working as a dj/host and producer trying to figure out what she really wants. Likely showed up permanently within the last few months, but that's still flexible
Spends too much time at the bar, like cheers style they know her name and order, come be a goofy drunk with her
Needs:
Old friends in town she used to hang out with as a kid that she may or may not have kept in touch with or maybe some cousins that live here? Cause that would make sense too
Also probably some kind of angsty fluff of a skinny love/friends to lovers type thing cause she's a little broken and while she might be jumping in/on your bed cause cuddles are great and she doesn't like yo sleep alone she won't be opening up that heart of hers too quickly
I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare. I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. I hate it, I hate the way you’re always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. I hate it when you’re not around, and the fact that you didn’t call.
Links to Help You Start Coding by azurethemes/salazhar
In honor of opening my theme blog, I thought I’d make this post on learning how to code since many people ask where/how I started coding. This is not a tutorial on how to code a theme, but a list of resources on how to start learning HTML and CSS.
UNDERSTANDING HTML
These websites are the one I used to learn and understand more about HTML and CSS.
Code Academy
Code Academy teaches you HTML, CSS, Javascript, jQuery, and more interactively. Their tutorials are great for anyone of any age. This site is my favorite and I definitely recommend it.
w3Schools
w3Schools is what I like to call my online glossary. It has literally everything you need to know.
MAKING TUMBLR THEMES
There are many great tutorials here on tumblr on creating your own theme. Here are a few:
By lmthemes
By farahmir
By themesbyeris
By ettudis
By howtomakeasimpletheme
By buildthemes
Tumblr has also provided us with a document on creating custom themes and I suggest going through it.
USING BASE CODES
If you wanna start coding themes, but you don’t know where to start, I suggest using a base code.
I have a masterpost of base codes here, but you will want to use base codes that come with instructions like these two [ one | two ] so it’s easier for you to customize and understand the theme.
CONCLUSION
Again, this is just a list of resources to help you begin coding your own tumblr themes. I will release another resources list with more external links that provides you with tutorials to make your themes even better. This one is just to help you start out.
Please like/reblog this if you found it useful.
If you have anymore questions on coding, feel free to ask me!
This. This is good fiction writing advice. I really appreciate how it was formatted as “this is a common problem, here is a solution to try in your own work” and not “oh god, don’t do that!” without any extra help. And I extra appreciated the “don’t rely on adverbs” bit, because they do have their place but they aren’t the only way actions can be emphasized.
going through a really bad break up and answering the door for your pizza in a baggy t-shirt and your underwear because you have nothing left to lose and the pizza boy is genuinely very concerned about you being okay so he assures you he’s not a serial killer and invites you to get dressed and ride shotgun in his shitty silver car while he delivers pizza for the rest of the night and he listens to you talk and tells you how much off an idiot your asshole ex was

chloe denise mckay
》》seventeen • willowbrooke • bhs senior • works at diner
¤ born in brighton after her dad brought his preggo girlfriend to his home town. they tried to make it work but her parents split when she was about 6 cause her mom couldn’t handle small town life anymore
¤ spent an extraordinary amount of time at the neighbours house. they would babysit for her dad while he was working. chloe was there before school, and after school generally till late playing the the other kids.
¤ neighbour jake was the same age so they spent a lot of time together and became best friends. like, walkie-talkie’s between bedroom windows best friends. they’d spend their days riding bikes and climbing trees and doing other dumb kid stuff. the summer they turned nine (between grades 4-5) chloe broke her leg when she fell out of a tree and was forced to spent the entire time sitting in a diner booth with her leg up and they drifted as jake went off to spend the summer with the other kids and got more involved in the guys's sports teams. they've been getting closer again through high school but it's never quite been the same.
¤ her family (dad and uncles) took over the diner her grandfather started back in the seventies and when she’s not a school she’s usually there serving tables or, if it’s not too busy, doing some of the cooking
¤ chloe hasn't seen the best examples of how relationship works. as happy as her parents are apart there's just a chunk of how relationships work that she's missing. with nothing but the hype the media has put around typical teenage milestones like dating, the first kiss and even sex chloe it pretty much in the dark about how life really works. total dreamer/romantic she definitely wants all the things but at the same time is a total chicken and as built up what these moments are suppose to be like in her head to the point that theres probably no way they can be anything but a disappointment and a part of her knows this so she's buried herself in work at the diner whenever she's invited out.
ALL THE THINGS
jake ¤ so he must be the same age as chloe and live in willowbrooke but mostly what i want from this is a completely platonic boy/girl friendship, ideally they'll get back to best friends but at the very least they're gonna be close. i wanna leave it super open because they haven't been super close the last couple years? but yeah, reunited and it feels so good we gotta get the walkie talkies going again
mckay family ¤ chloe definitely needs her dad and uncles (and potentially any aunts/cousins that come with them). they all work at the diner and basically probably fight all the time over stupid things like whether to change how they cook the eggs or whatever in typical sibling style but also hilarious things like pranks are bound to happen. i definitely want chloes dad to be in dadband (even though i don't think chels has posted about it, it's a thing i want xD)
high school seniors ¤ it's a small town, i don't imagine the graduating class is gonna be huge so by now all the students should know each other lol
¤ jemma was born in denver, colorado to a single mom and spent most of her childhood jumping from city to city and state to state as her mom constantly made poor choices in her love life (re: abusive men). by the time she was 11 she'd lived in six different states, and met too many of her mom's boyfriends to count.
¤ around age 14 she was shipped off to brighton to live with some random old lady (mimi) in a trailer park because her mom blamed her for a lot of the issues in her relationships and wanted a fresh start. doesn’t know the woman she was living with was actually her grandmother on her father’s side (she also doesn’t know her father)
¤ spent most of highschool a shitty person (not so much bullying but like, just general jackassery). she didn't care about school, but was kind of adopted by a local girl who ended up becoming her bff and making brighton tolerable (and maybe had a totally hot older brother?)
¤ didn't get into any post-secondary programs and was super pissed with bff did, so rather than wait to be ditched again jem skipped out on prom to run away with her jerk of a boyfriend and ended all contact with everyone.
¤ sadly she ended up coming back around two years later with a broken heart (and wrist as well as some ribs and a black eye) and not wanting to worry the mimi more than she already had crashed at a nate's while she healed up. she was hooked up with a job at the bar and has been there ever since.
¤ turned to drinking to deal with all the things after mimi died about a year after she came back to brighton. jem inherited the trailer but hates being there alone at night so she'll either drink herself to sleep or let someone at the bar take her home/use a fwb (but then feel totally shit about her self, ditch them in the middle of the night and show up at nate's super drunk to sleep on his couch.
ALL THE THINGS!
NATE ¤ i'm not attached to this name so it's mostly a place holder, (ideally same age or older) but basically he's her current best friend. possibly the older brother of her high school bff? (and possibly how she keeps tabs on how high school bff is doing) idk, just someone that she really trusts to help her when she needs it most. things could get weird cause she's definitely taking advantage of his caring ways but potentially they could be/could have been a romantic type thing? maybe even works at/owns the bar? or more protector wise maybe he’s a cop/firefighter/medic type? idk
high school bff ¤ super open. must be same age (or possibly a year older/held back in school?) probably a bit of a troublemaker herself she was willing to do crazy/acting out things with jem but also managed to pull her school shit together to get out of brighton. i dont' necessarily need her but could be interesting getting them back together (especially if the older brother has essentially been spying on her for jem)
bar family ¤ jemma needs all the people! i don't have anything spectacular in mind, but she would love this people and probably do anything for them except for admit to it.
daddy dearest ¤ i kinda want him to show up at the trailer park looking for his mom (mimi) and instead finds his daughter cause it'll be super awkward and painful all around. maybe he has a new family? maybe he already had a family when he was with jem’s mom
idk if someone is actually sending me messages but i keep getting notifications but nothing’s loading so i’m not ignoring you tumblr just hates me. try me over at @xoducky if you need something <3
