#ginger thornton

AMTVERSE SINCE MACY ASKED FOR DARKLING

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most): . maybe it's no one's business. did you think of that. maybe it's no one's business that i think about particular evil little goths and their moms huh

scrunkly (my "baby," character that gives me cuteness aggression): GINGER LEO... but also avery and rahma. so many scrunklies in AMT they all deserve so much better

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave): is hawk underrated. maybe he always will be because no one can appreciate him enough. hawk stevens best character in AMT. also REUBEN oh my fucking god i don't talk about reuben enough

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and i won't shut up about it for a week): i know everything about gwen farley it's insane the woman has like four lines in the first ten episodes

poor little meow meow ("problematic"/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave): INDRAJIT.

horse plinko (character i would torment for fun, for whatever reason): . also indrajit. i like to see his underdeveloped coping mechanisms whir at high speeds

followers, today i offer you: the fake twitter profiles i made for the AMT characters with the social dummy app because i got bored

bonus: roger & golda (hawk’s hapless lesbian friends) and meggie chang (fan favorite side character)

AMT: Ginger Thornton

the final AMT character intro! alexa, play ophelia by the lumineers. this is ginger! she’s the perfect child! she is smart and kind and conventionally attractive and a cheerleader and she lets people walk all over her and never causes trouble :) and this is going to be true forever and ever and ever and nothing could possibly go wrong! :)

GINGER: Hi. So. I’m… the person most of you know as Ginger Thornton. The canary in the coal mine that was sophomore year. And this is gonna be hard for me.

RAHMA (gently): You don’t have to tell everything. Other people know what happened.

GINGER: Thanks, Rahma. Really. But I’m done letting other people talk for me.

listen to her playlist here!

wow!! what’s this!! max doing a tag game within a century of being tagged??? incredible, i know, but @albatris tagged me and i knew immediately that i currently have the perfect last line for this. from AMT:

REUBEN (V.O.):

There’s a dead girl on my floor. And they’re petting my cat. Sounds about right.

TYSM JUNE ABSOLUTELY

what they smell like

at the start of the podcast, uh, not much? perfume and the non-scent of women’s deoderant dhfdsbfsdjbfsjdbfs. i am going to... try to keep... spoilers out of this but postcanon i imagine her smelling like plants! soil! and maybe you catch a whiff of brine, now and then, but it’s politer to ignore that.

what their favorite smells in the world are

flowers!!! particularly her hyacinths, but anything she grows in her garden, really! plus the smell of fresh rich earth and the smell right before it rains.

what pajamas they wear

oh DEFINITELY ginger has fun pajamas. penguin-patterned pants! nightshirts with kittens on them! boxers that have fun little mushrooms on them! also, after she takes her contacts out, cat’s-eye glasses!

my favorite ship (if applicable) and a cute hc about them

ginger doesn’t have a romantic interest in canon, but @asimpleram​ and i came up with the absolutely galaxy brained idea that postcanon ginger gets together with meggie chang, AKA Everyone’s Favorite Side Character, who does cheer with her! they have sleepovers all the time and they sit in each other’s laps... victor said they’re This Image and he’s right

my favorite friendship (if applicable) and a cute hc about them

definitely ginger and hawk!!! their friendship is so sweet... they absolutely go to pride together. ginger very carefully paints the gay flag on hawk’s cheek. gay/lesbian solidarity.

a song that reminds me of them

hgdbfbdbfwbfwbf.... goodbye, my danish sweetheart by mitski... i just... i hear this song and think about ginger and i simply begin... to melt... talking about a heart like you’re watering it like a garden... these two lyrics specifically...

There's some kind of burning inside me It's kept me from falling apart And I'm sure that you've seen what it's done to my heart But it's kept me from falling apart 

And I don't blame you if you want to Bury me in your memory, I'm not the girl I ought to be, but Maybe when you tell your friends, you Can tell them what you saw in me, and not the way I am

[max melting onto the floor like a plastic figurine]

what animal i think they would be if they were an animal

ginger is... this cat specifically

(but genuinely, a cat! shy at first... a lot bolder when they warm up to you but you can’t make any fast movements... keeps to themself... weird in a pleasant way... has nine lives...) 

what position they sleep in

on her back... ideally cuddling someone but she’ll take a pillow.

their favorite drink

ginger drinks diet coke ONLY like. she will NOT drink regular coke. (hawk only drinks pepsi so they can shun coke together.) also probably those fruity drinks they sell at starbucks! with enough sugar to rot your teeth.

a gift i would give them if i could

the removal of her father <3 alternatively, in more concrete terms: a potted plant! a lesbian pride bracelet! and a plush animal of some sort... probably a kitten 🥺

@avi-burton-writing tagged me in a last line tag (thank you, avi!!!) so here’s the latest from AMT. these three are on an illegal road trip to meet a ghost, but they’re also stupid teenagers, so.

tagging @idreamtofreality @bluejaybabbles @redaniels-writes @kc-llewen @radley-writes and anyone else who’d like to do this! (tag me back, i’d love to see your work!)
