#batesmtask

If your pairing has not been filled, instead of doing a ‘pairings playlist’ you will need to do two playlists for connections with two different connections. Due to how large this task is, the task will be due April 7, 2017. I have included some extra information on the bottom but if you have any questions, always feel free to message into the main!

Requirements: 

You must have at least eight songs on each playlist ( preferably more ).

If your pairing has not been filled, your task will be to create one character playlist and two connections playlists - the two playlists must be done with two different connections.

Please make sure you tag your playlist if any song includes trigger warnings.

Your playlists should all be tagged with “batesmplaylist” and not the task tag ( this is to keep the task tag clean and so everyone in the group can see your playlists ).

Each playlist must be a separate post.

You are allowed to make more than one for connections if you wish.

AMIR.

“Daddy was always the one who told me to reach for the stars, but the moment I got too high he reigned me in. It was as if he wanted me to chase my dreams but only if they aligned with his. He had set ideas for hat he wanted ‘Mar and I to do - become doctors and follow in his footsteps - but the moment I told him I wanted to study psychology, it was as if he was constantly disappointed...”

The doting patriarch of the Nazari family, Amir was a staunch believer in persistence and hard work. His Palestinian family moved to America when he was six and his constant wish was always to make his parents proud. He was on his way to becoming a fine doctor, and meeting Greta Jansen only strengthened his family values. Since the moment his daughters were born, Amir held a strict code for how the girls should behave, something that Aliyah learned to rebel against time after time. It was, in fact, Amir who found out about Bates, since he wanted to save his troublemaking daughter.

GRETA.

“As for Mamma, she always acted as if her children held her back. She had a comfortable life but the small town, upstate New York life was one she didn’t handle. A lot of my childhood I resented her for her depression, knowing that it was caused from a desire to be on a Broadway stage than at home with her children. She probably put me here as punishment for being born.”

If Amir was the doting parent, then Greta was the indifferent one. She had bigger dreams of becoming an actress, and being a mother to twins at a young age was not a part of her dreams. She pushed Aliyah and Amara into beauty pageants and dance classes in order to gain some gratification, but instead she just became the ruthless stage mother, trying to live vicariously through her children. Despite Aliyah enjoying (and winning) pageants, Greta only realised her failure and spent the rest of the girls’ childhood wrapped in her own depression. She wasn’t much of a mother to her children at all, and Aliyah thinks it was her idea to send her to Bates to fix the mistakes that she had made.

AMARA.

“Lastly, Amara. I was born fifteen minutes before her yet she was the mature one. If I was the sun, then she was the moon because despite the fact that we were identical, our personalities were polar opposites. Still, she was always my best friend, always so quiet, so stoic, so tame. We don’t see each other much anymore since she lives in California but I still love her. I doubt she voted to send me here.”
