I rlly shouldn't call it an Au cuz I dont have any info on it but just know its TWDG kids in college. Clem:

Clem, who was raised by single parent Lee after the tragic passing of her parents, has always spoken up for the little person and has always had a big sense of justice. In her short life, she's faced prejudice and racial profiling and knows there are many people wrongly incarcerated or serving time on trumped up charges, simply because of systemic racism. She's always been somewhat of an advocate and activist so she decided to put that skill to good use and become a criminal defense lawyer. Did I just made her a social justice warrior? Yes. Yes I did.

She's friends with Sarah, Mariana, Becca, and Duck. She dated Gabe in high school but it was never serious and they ended it as friends. Since going to Uni, she's recently befriended Sophie, Louis and Vi.

Her photography skills is what gets her introduced to vi. She's hired to take pictures of the band during a performance and lied about the card getting corrupted because she was too embarrassed to admit most if not all of her photos were of Vi.

Bc I think disability visibility is important, I'm making her an amputee! She loses it in a car accident that killed her parents. That's also how she got the scar on her forehead which is a reference to s3's Kenny ending.

Vi:

Abandoned by her parents after being sent to Ericson, Vi gets therapy by a godsend of a counselor. With their help she works on her abandonment and trust issues (though they're still a problem that affects her personal relationships). She starts focusing on school and getting scholarships bc she wants financial stability and independence. She goes to Uni for child psychology because she wants to help other misguided and/or neglected kids and give them a safe place to talk and feel heard.

She's still very close with Louis, Brody and Sophie and exes with Minnie. I'm debating Minnie's relationship with Vi, as in if the breakup was amicable or if their relationship was toxic. I don't always want Minnie to be the big baddie in Vi's story or the person that gets between Vi and Clem's romance.

I've decided to make Vi trans as I feel as if I can touch on trans issues. Not only that but vi is a great candidate and it makes a compelling story with her upbringing and romantic relationships. Plus trans ppl are just cool so why not?

Anyways I had fun drawing this but Clem was giving me so many problems. I changed her look from the Atlanta jersey, which was a reference to her s3 concepts, to the determinate Brooklyn hoodie from s1. As always, I sprinkled some culture on her like fairy dust and I gave her bamboo earrings and a gold necklace. It was originally going to say babygirl but I changed it to Sweetpea. Either way it's a pet name given to her by Lee. Her nails are also the bi flag since she only has 3 fingers showing.
