i would do anything to gO MY GOD but you'll have the best time starfury cons are wonderful

Who: MIVI

packs the lunches?

Matt packs the lunches. As soon as he saw that Viv put like five fruit roll ups and chips and called it a well balanced meal.

blows raspberries while cuddling?

Both! Because Riley giggling is so fucking wonderful and family tickle/cuddle fights are mandatory.

is the tickle monster?

I like to believe it’s Viv and then Riles and Matt team up and attack her together.

gives life lesson speeches?

They might have to bring outside forces? Well Viv starts in on the “when I was your age ….. “ and then launches into her tales of old. And I would say Matt would be more likely to be helpful.

kisses the boo-boos?

Viv kisses Riley’s boo-boos because she has healing purple lipstick and Matt slaps the cartoon themed band-aid on that helps the magic lipstick. It’s a team effort.

breaks the bad news?

Hmmmmm? OKAY SO THIS IS A PARENTING MEME, but I feel like all the bad not so good icky news, Riley delivers? Idk I feel like she’s the most level- headed.

joins the PTA?

I want them both to join so they can terroize the PTA TOGETHER. lIKE “uhm no susan we don’t want your stale snickerdoodles.”

crashes sleepovers with embarrassing stories?

AGAIN THEY GOTTA DO IT TOGETHER. Like their cool parents, all of Riley’s friends like coming over because their so chill but Viv and Matt test the friends each time by being absolutely ridiculous and pulling out the baby photos.

gives the crazy nicknames?

Vivi? Maybe? I think they are both in that relm of giving any and everything a nickname. Like Riley could fill a VERY large book, because that’s how her parents roll.

Who: JALERIE

packs the lunches?

Jesse? Because he would make the lunches for Valerie and Noah because they have to go to school early. So while he makes the sandwiches, Valerie cooks breakfast and it’s really cute.

blows raspberries while cuddling?

Jesse! Because he likes it better when dad does it and they both laugh over the fart noise.

is the tickle monster?

Valerie! She tickles the hells out of both her boys and everyone is kind of scared of tickling Val because she kicks.

gives life lesson speeches?

Probably Val, her mommy lecture game is strong.

kisses the boo-boos?

Noah and Jesse. Noah kisses his parents boo-boos and Jesse kisses Noah. They both make sure the pain is no more.

breaks the bad news?

This I don’t know? I feel like Valerie hates telling bad news because it makes her feel super guilty, but Jesse doesn’t like to either.

joins the PTA?

VALERIE HATES THE PTA. she hates it,because when she tried to join they were mean to her for being a single mom and then they started critiquing her teachng style so Val doesn’t fuck with no PTA and I thnk Jesse would start world war iii if he went.

crashes sleepovers with embarrassing stories?

JESSE.

gives the crazy nicknames?

SHIT WAS IT ME IM SO SORRY FUCK IM SORRY IF I WAS ME I PROMISE GOD I HATE SPOILING I TRIED TO TAG IT I SWEAR OMG

♡ - a secret about their love life

Adeline Bruger

Though she had a long-term boyfriend throughout high school, she split with him shortly after her family moved during her senior year and has been fairly on even par of having casual dates with friends and those that aren’t quite friends. She might not be unfamiliar with commitment, but she looks at it with reservations and caution these days, especially now that she worries about how it would effect Daniel.

Naomi Grant

It’s been near impossible for Naomi to find someone who wasn’t going to be threatened by her relationship with David, and although it frustrates her (and her mother) to no end, if it’s a choice between sex and David? Well. She’s made which one she chooses more than clear a number of times.

Lexie Melkenson

She doesn’t do casual. Mostly, it isn’t even on her radar with how focused she always was with work and school, and now? Well, a relationship doesn’t particularly seem too worth the effort she could be putting in elsewhere so unless something drops into her lap? Well, she isn’t going to be getting entangled with someone.

Erik Kohlmann

Relationships? They’re about as foreign to Erik as it would be eating duck. He prefers to keep things simple and casual, and really? He enjoys being single and not coming home to the same person every night, so why even bother changing that until he wants to?

Marlene James

Long time separated from her husband, she actually doesn’t even know where he is anymore or if he is even still alive. It takes a tole on both her relationship with her little girl and the possibility of any other relationship. And she prays and prays that man never comes back into their lives, because if he does? Well, she doesn’t know if she would be alive by the end of it this time.

Evelyne Reichard

She first fell in love at nineteen, despite having relationships prior to that, and it about crumbled what hope she had left when her father convinced him to leave her when she joined the Bureau and was midway through her training. Aside from returning the engagement ring, she hasn't talked to him since.

Cameron Hadley

despite her desperate attempts. She still compares the men in her life to Micah.

Adrienne Hornsby

More than once she has considered that maybe she isn't suited for relationships, too much like her mother for comfort when it comes down to it.

Michaela Rosen

More than cautious about who she lets into her heart, Michaela is the exact opposite when it comes to who she lets into her bed. Casual comes easy to her, particularly when she is completely in control of her actions: it’s also the reason she doesn’t have sex when intoxicated.

Emmeline Vance

♠: Open when you’re mad at me

David;Well, I'm not going to say that either of us are right in this letter, so if you're still at that level of angry... probably best to put it down and go get a cup of coffee and come back when you're a little bit more sensible, darling. Otherwise? I love you. You're my best friend, my confidant, the man who seemed to have weaseled his way into my heart without so much of a thought or a second guess, but you are also the man that challenges me and pushes me and frustrates me and makes me so irritated at times that it drives me crazy.Chances are that it was stemmed from this particular argument.Because, you know, I'm not exactly stellar at admitting when I'm wrong.I'm not, by the way.Anyways. Please know that no matter how mad you are at me or me at you, or where we might be in our lives or in our jobs and our families, that I love you. I made a choice to be with you, this wasn't out of necessity, even though sometimes I probably say that it was when I'm particularly angry, but I choose you. And I would choose you any day of the week.-Naoms

☏: Open when you miss me

Van Acker;You know, you'll probably deny it, but you miss me breaking cups in your kitchen right now, don't you? Or... you know... calling you from the emergency room because I broke my ankle (yes, again). Know that I miss you so so much more than I'm going to be able to put into words in this letter.Do you remember the time that I went off to that all-girls camp in junior high?And I came back with my toes painted a bright pink and you looked at me and told me that you wanted your Naoms back with jeans and t-shirts and ready to do something crazy that would undoubtedly get us grounded by our parents for the umpteenth time?I did those things, the painting my nails and figuring out what the fuck eyeliner was because doing anything else? It made me miss my best friend. Not a whole lot has changed in those years, because no matter where I am or what I'm doing, or what state your stupid job has dragged you off to (because oh my fucking god, you've got to get a different job if you're going to keep traveling this much to get pictures for the newspaper, because I hate it and I hate waking up and not having you next to me, snoring away. Okay, I'm done ranting about that for the moment). So when you come back and find out that somehow I've found a different favorite Italian place? Or that I have a new favorite drink? It's because you are so engrained into my life that it's hard to even wake up without knowing that you're there throughout the day and that I can pick up and call you. And really, babe, I wouldn't have it any other way, okay?All of that to basically say: I miss you too. So so much. And you'd better come back soon.But give me warning? Because I might have stole some of your sweatshirts and should probably return them to you before you realize that they're gone.-NPS: Yes, I do this every time you disappear for a little... or, you know, I go somewhere.
