i want to make a selkie au. i like selkies. if you like them too, you should definitely go watch song of the sea :D

hello. still don't know what i'm doing but it's ok. i ball w/ts.i just started writing in the car and now i'm sitting here with 2.3k words in a google doc titled "send help." still deciding on how long each chap should be but i guess i'll figure that out as i go 🤷‍♀️ i'm not as confident about these so they're still subject to change! here are some notes about the other characters:

vic (first year undergrad) = lives in a dorm on campus 

her mom's a professor for med school's human anatomy: dissection and prosection, teaches 3rd/4th year of undergrad and 1st/2nd year of med school during different semesters.

likes to show up unannounced at vic's dorm room to "check up" on her and make sure she's on top of her classes. definitely not controlling or berating her. nope.

taking bio-medical sciences (just like trinity),

whitaker (first year undegrad) = works at same convenience store at trinity, just the shift before her (6pm-12am) + goes to same uni but doesn't know that trinity does.

family owns a small farm in nebraska "whitaker family farm" (how creative i know. (maybe ill think of smt better later))

goes home for holidays to visit (flies from uni of pitts to lincoln, then drives ~3h to nebraska)

taking biological sciences in undergrad, keeping his doors open for both med and vet school.

mel king = her parents work abroad, leaving her to take care of her autistic twin sister, becca.

lives at home while driving her parent's car to uni every day.

becca stays at home with their live-in nanny who has specialized training for individuals with ASD 

taking biological sciences as well (keeping her careers paths open for both psych (therapist) or med school (family doc/ER))

trying to write an au fic for the lovely, wonderful garsantos. (ignoring the events in recent eps :cries:)

im not good at writing dialogue or fics in general. prob because ive been forced to write essays all year long.

anyhow. im just gonna ramble about it bc i need a place to put my silly stupid ideas. (i am an one-shot angst writer, i eat angst for breakfast, lunch and dinner. hurt/no comfort is my comfort. multi-chapter fics scare me but fuck it we ball.)

university student trinity 19 yo (took gap year to save up enough money) with a part-time job as at a gas station's convenience store "pit stop mart" (12pm-6am night shift)

grew up in a crappy foster home under an organization called "a second chance"

born in braddock, lived in filipino household.

both parents died from flash floods, making trinity have a fear of rain.

was awarded an entrance scholarship of $3,000 (flight from braddock to uni of pitts is $1,036)

actually has pretty high grades (in the 90s) bc of her great work ethic (due to maturing early, not a compliment)

deals with shitty customers in the middle of the night but has to suck it up and use her customer service voice bc she cannot lose her job.

lives in her old, scratched-up red toyota that's on the verge of breaking down. (she'd never have enough money to fix it if it did.)

the lowest of lows when her car doesn't start on her first day of pre-med uni classes, she has to walk to school because she can't afford to spend money on an the bus fare, let alone an uber.

causing her to be late to her first classes which are biol 1080, biological concepts of health and phys 1080, physics for life sciences. taught by the same professor, lucky her.

professor garcia teaches both biol and phys 1080 (woah, what a surprise.)

known to be a harsh marker and will clock your shit. does not tolerate tardiness.

makes trinity's life a living hell in the first week or two bc she thinks she's just another student who doesn't give a shit about being late/thinks she's too good for class or some misunderstanding-

la dee la dee dah somehow finds out she's sleeping in her car and working the night shift at a convenience store close to campus and offers her a place at her house bc she has a spare guest room.
