Abigail Bellweather Week will be taking place the week of Ashley’s birthday again. We decided that instead of an Appreciation Week we were going to do a regular fandom week much like we do with ship week’s, in hope’s it might inspire more creativity.

What: a weeklong event that inspires new works such as fanfiction, fanart, gif sets, fanvids, manips, or whatever else you think will fit for the prompt for that day.

Where: If creating fanfiction please submit it on ao3 to the Abigail Bellweather Week 2023 Collection.

If sharing any work on twitter, please tag it as #AbiBellWeek and if posting to Tumblr post it as Abigail Bellweather Week.

When: August 14th-August 20th (Ashley’s Birthday)

Why: to show our love to one of the most underrated characters in the show, to inspire new works, and to show Ashley, we love her and Abigail.

Prompt’s:

SFW 12. Can they stand silence? Who talks the most? Who talks the least?

• For the most part, yes. Libbagail knows when to be quiet and when to listen or relax. They also can stay silent in competition, but have conversations with their stares and body language much like Bellcollar does, but a lot more tuned and refined since they've known each other longer. I also have a small headcanon of them actually being childhood friends way before they were taught to rival and dislike each other and formed some sort of secret code between them since then, so they don't always need to be vocally speaking to each other to have comversations. It's very handy out in the field but is also pretty handy domestically. Sometimes Libba will silently turn to reach for something and Abigail is already handing it over to her.

• Between the two, Libba is the most talkative. Abigail holds her tongue and sits in her thoughts whereas Libba has to voice all her feelings in order to form her opinions, once she has her opinions, she needs everyone to know it. She'll even push them on unsuspecting cadets. Everyone has to know how Libba feels about things. Its kinda born from her need to be known, and a bit of a chip on her shoulder from being the lesser known family compared to the Bellweathers. Abigail knows this and allows Libba that space to rant.

• Abigail thinks more before she speaks. If she's gonna say something, she has to say it right. The lines of love and hate have been blurred way too much between them and Abigail has grown sensitive to how her words land with someone she cares about. She's made mistakes before and is learning to be better about it.

Uh, that's all I have right now...

Thanks for asking!
