Rose Leister

I FEEL LIKE ROSE HAS SO MANY REASONS TO WORRY THOUGH??? Like Jake and Julia are pretty much an actual hurricane of bad decisions and they’re probably always doing something and I feel like Rose is probably like *facepalm* what did you people do now???? And Jake probably constantly gives her all the anxiety about what on earth he’s doing with his life?? Which is hilarious because deep down he’s a little comic book nerd and he shouldn’t be this stressful. Goodness.

But, anyway, I def think their parents are dead and maybe they have been for a few years?? So it’s probably been Jake and Rose against the world for quite a while. And oh man. I feel like Jake probably tries to talk about stuff with her but at the same time leaves out important details that he knows will upset her (like about the coven). So Rose might think he goes camping with Julia every weekend (and tbh, he kind of does???)

AND OH MAN. I LOVE ROSE READING TO HIM THINGS. And I think Jake can definitely see the toll life has taken on Rose after their parents died?? So I can see him really trying to ease some of Rose’s stress?? So he probably gives her, like, back rubs when she gets home. And I think he tries to cook a lot (even though he’s an actual terrible cook so I could also see him, like, bringing food home with him after work??)

And he will probably want her to watch horror movies and things with him. And I feel like he’s constantly like “this is just a movie, Rosie. Imagine what horrors there are in real life.” before promptly launching into some serial killer tidbit or something. He’s such a problem, oh my goodness. He def needs some kind of off switch, hahahaha.

But he loves Rose so so much and he would literally do anything for her and he hates that the council gave Rose this lot and that they didn’t want to believe in her?? Because I think he believes in her a lot and he thinks they should all have the option to do whatever they want with their lives and that the council should’ve given Rose that option. So I think Jake actually rants about that a lot???

Oh and Jake is an ~aspiring filmmaker so he basically carries a camera around at all times and records everything. So he probably has lOTS of footage of Rose and has lots of fun little videos about her. And I feel like part of the time Rose is like “Jake get that thing out of make face” and he’s like “bUT THE CAMERA LOVES YOU???? *continues to record her color coding a pie chart*” Yeah??? hahaha.

I feel like Rose is always getting calls in the middle of the night like ‘x horrible thing has happened and your brother is there’ and she throws on her snakeskin slingbacks and runs out into the night in her silk nightgown and a trenchcoat and literally the ~outside is not her area hahahaha but she dredges through the mud without wincing to get to him.  And also, I do think alot of her strong emotions come out as tears and/or anger a lot????  Like,when she’s sick with worry - I mean at first it’s regular relief that he’s ok but then she starts crying and then yelling through her tears smh and this probs happens a lot.  Do you think, though, that since the coven, the other activities that used to get them into trouble have more or less stopped?  (In which case ignorance is def bliss for Rose hahahah)

Hahahahaha omg she def has sooooo much anxiety about his future (and hers tbh).  She’s got this elaborate plan I’m sure and she checks off things on it all the time and she’s like, “What’s your plan???????” and “Remember we can’t rely on the council!!!!!!”  Tbh she probs rants a lot about the Council and I’m so sorry in advance.  “Shouldn’t be this stressful,” is probs something she hears alot and rolls her eyes so hard they fall out of her head ;DD  No, but she just wants the best for him, I think she just has a v different idea of what ‘the best’ is than he does and I think that creates a lot of the problem.

Oh, yeah, that def makes sense!  Ok, let’s see.  So, Robbie took May off with him when May was 12, which would’ve been 2007-ish, so their parents were probs alive at least as recently as 2006.  In fact, do you think Rose was the one who hunted down Robbie and contacted him?  Bc yeah I def think she was overwhelmed when their parents died and felt like she couldn’t handle both Jake and May and her idea was probs that Robbie return and stay in Walcott and they raise their siblings basically together but yeah hahaha Robbie had other plans obv

Hahahahaha oh yeah she most def thinks that and tbh I also think she thinks they’re gonna get married one day and may even be dating and so she probs shouts things like, “Be safe!” out the door at him when he leaves and tbh who knows if she’s talking about the camping itself - which def worries her - or sex.  Tbh, she’s probs like ‘why choose?’  And she also thinks it’s sweet that he also visits their foster sister at her house and yeah it’d never in a thousand years occur to her that they’re trying to be witches????  during a witch hunt????? smh she’d sooooooooo freak the hell out if she knew.

Awwwww, she def appreciates him trying to help ease her stress!!  I mean tbh idk how super effective it is bc I feel like she has low key anxiety and just yeah but she def hugs him when she sees him trying and thanks him <3  And then they probs watch the walking dead and she has to run screaming out of the room during the first five minutes ;DDD  Hahahha, she probs jokes that she knows to start setting the table for dinner when she hears the fire alarm going off ;DDDD  And then they end up having a good laugh and some salad <3

HAHAHAHAHAHA Rose watching horror movies though she’s probs mostly covering her eyes, “is it over?”  No, but I think she’s gotten better over the years.  And esp if they’re watching a really old one that’s not too gory, she’ll sit through it and she probs knows all the tropes by heart and probs uses this to comfort her when she’s watching the really scary ones w him hahahahah but tbh she probs spends a lot of nights w the lights on hahahaha (and subsequently telling herself how ridiculous this all is bc she’s def the kind of person who doesn’t believe unless she can see and feel something, yknow?)

“...Add that to the very long list of things I didn’t need to know” ~Rose about serial killers, probably.  But she probs is interested bc she knows he cares and hahahaha bc I can def see her trying not to make a face asking questions like, “Did he really make her into a lampshade?”

I mean tbh Rose probs joins him in those rants hahahahah  I mean, she also thinks her last boyfriend was an effort on the Council’s part to spy on her hahaha so yeah she’s got soooooo many negative feelings about the Council and she’s like, “We should disband them!  Who needs the Council!?  This isn’t 1693!”
