New Year’s Wish: 

When it comes to this upcoming year, there really isn’t much that Miguel had wished for once the clock had struck twelve, For the most part, he wants his 2019 to stay the same as his 2018 wasn’t that bad of a year. But he does have to admit, after discovering the possibly that Ernesto de la Cruz might just be the tío that no one else within his familia wants to talk about and meeting Héctor who seems to know the famous musician? Well, Miguel is hoping that if anything new were to come within this new year, that it would be to finally meet his idol and possible tío. Maybe then he could finally discover what truly was the reason behind his familia’s dislike for music and maybe, just maybe, Miguel could finally get that ‘NO MUSIC’ ban out. 

Part I 

(x)

Part II

the imperfections

Immature -- Lost Boys never truly grow up, so it probably comes as no surprise that Nibs is every bit as childish and mischievous as ever. He doesn’t plan on acting his age anytime soon, and even if he did, how mature can an 18 year old even be?

Blunt -- Brutally honest to a fault, Nibs frequently puts his foot in his mouth. It sometimes seems like he doesn’t even have a filter, often spouting the first thing to come to mind. It’s gotten him in trouble more often than not.

Clingy -- For most of his childhood, Nibs never had a family to call his own. Because everyone seemed to come and go, he has a habit of clinging onto anyone stable in his life. In turn, anyone who leaves his life sends Nibs into a panic.

Spoiled -- Technically, Nibs came from nothing. Before he was adopted by the Jacksons at the tender age of twelve, he was used to living with just about nothing. Now that he’s part of a wealthy family? Let’s just say he’s used to getting his way.

One thing Lilo would certainly be remembered for is her weirdness. She’s not your average teenager, and she’s never been an average kid. Sewing her own dolls, listening to old music, rambling about conspiracies, tacking snapshots of shirtless strangers on her wall, using voodoo to ‘punish’ her ‘friends’ --- it’s safe to say that no one could ever forget about her quirkiness... as hard as they may try.

Elvis is a given. With the amount of records that are stacked in her room, the amount of times she brings him up in conversations (that aren’t relevant to him at all) and the amount of inspiration she draws from him, anyone that knew her even briefly would think of ‘the king of rock and roll’ when her name was mentioned.

The third thing someone would remember would be her passion of surfing, or further than that, her adoration of the ocean. She spends most of her spare time in the waves or daydreaming of them. There’s a peacefulness about it, and no matter the beach, no matter how happy she is with her room and her family, it’s the one place that she truly feels like she’s home. If she could grow fins, there’s a high chance she’d throw away her human life to live among the fish.

Another passion of hers to be remembered for: photography. Though her photo subjects aren’t what most people would call beautiful, she’s always carrying her camera around with her, and if you think of Lilo, it’s hard not to think of her snapping photos of everything she deems worthy... which could really be anything.
