📰

activity level: sporadic and slow replies, i'm here whenever the mood strikes. / current priorities: bea, jane, lizzie, phoebe.

rules 2 follow or else.

this is a sideblog, i follow back from @saltwaters and/or @hivepath. please do not interact unless we are mutuals on either of those blogs.

low maintenance, there aren't really any expectations here. i'll pop in whenever the mood strikes. come bother me when you need them.

probably going to stick to lighter threads for now, nothing too lengthy yet. just allowing whatever to progress naturally. very casual and flexible. reply speed is not a concern right now or ever.

roster is a combination of voice testing muses and classic merricat ocs. most of the latter have been heavily developed over time, so if you have questions, i will usually know the answer. canons are here too but they are also my ocs.

au verses are also available, more on that later. if you're familiar with any, you can always throw something in there. i will also make up new ones on request if needed.

and as always: i believe that all stories relate to love in some way, whether you're trying to conceal it, barter with it, or dive into it.

the blockheads (main roster). original characters, usually higher priority than canons. open for interactions.

eleanor ainsworth (aka ellie bird). thirteen to sixteen. "human girl" (agender, not human), she/it. lesbian. taxidermy enthusiast and former missing child who returned under mysterious circumstances. something comparable to a changeling, but maybe that's just a metaphor. purposefully cloaked in ambiguity. fc: emily carey. occasionally young elle fanning. both ginger. * not available for shipping. i'll kill you.

lizzie madden (formerly elizabeth hayworth). twenties to thirties. cis woman, she/her. bisexual. 2000s era comedy writer for shows you wouldn't watch unless they cancelled snl. the estranged daughter of american's biggest sitcom producer, unable to benefit from nepotism because he doesn't like her. doomed by the narrative, but doomed to live through the entire stupid thing. fc: molly gordon. except when it's victoria pedretti.

noah ripley. twenties. cis man, he/him. trapped in a glass closet of his own creation (repressed bisexual). your fave 90s/2000s era tv star with gifted child burnout; all the teen heartthrob tropes deconstructed. sarah lynn from bojack but a boy, tethered to the hedonic treadmill. it's a tragicomedy. fc: hugh laughton-scott or some other blond guy. pick one.

percy driscoll. twenties. cis man, he/him. idk. working as a personal assistant to his showbizzy aunt while he's saving up for school. wide-eyed and terrified for his life, yet shockingly good at his job. fc: dominic sessa. * voice testing, not available for shipping until i figure him out more.

phoebe francis. twenties. demigirl, she/her. demisexual. a plucky nancy drew-esque private eye with precognitive abilities and a cassandra-esque curse. the kid detective but foolishly optimistic, trying to solve crimes with the power of friendship. fc: ayo edebiri. * voice testing.
