(spoiler alert)

- (NSFW) avery and jameson are FREAKY, like, there’s nothing they won’t try. avery’s a biiiiiit more on the skeptical side of it but she’ll always try something at least once (and yes, riddles are a part of their dirty talk they are sapiophiles)

- avery ABSOLUTELY spoils her nieces. it annoys libby every now and again but auntie avery is a billionaire! what’s the point in that if she can’t spoil her favorite baby nieces??

- when lyra brings grayson to miles’ end for the first time, shortly after they become official, he fully realizes why lyra wanted to win the grandest game because it’s a beautiful home. he now understands why nash wanted the simple life. gray can already see little lyras and graysons running around the front yard, swinging on the tire swing, climbing the big tree, and splashing in the creek on sunny afternoons. it’s too early for that though, he understands, but he remembers that his grandmother’s ring is sitting in his bedroom and at least when the time comes he doesn’t have to go ring shopping

- when they watch movies, grayson gets all teary-eyed by the end but he would NEVER shed a tear — that’s not like him at all. besides, jameson gives him enough grief for it as it is. lyra, on the other hand, isn’t moved so easily and will encourage grayson to just let it all out

- when max met gigi, she was kinda thrown bc who is this cutie giggling with her boyfriend?? but then gigi assures it’s all totally platonic and refers to herself as girl xander (“xandra??”) and immediately wins max over. they send each other cat memes all the time, even though they already do that in the group chat with the two of them and xander

- avery and jameson’s wedding is, inevitably, the wedding of the century

- toby is the one to hand off avery at said wedding and it’s very emotional for both of them (even jameson gets a little teary-eyed)

- lyra and grayson are the definition of the two guys bending over each other again and again to take the bullet meme. it drives everyone insane — even jameson. and that’s saying something

- for some reason, the boys all go to jameson for love advice and he’s like “just bc i got with avery that doesn’t mean ik how i did it!”

- since then, said boys all go to nash for love advice

- xander and gigi have definitely filmed an all-nighter vlog in hawthorne house, filled with gummy candies and various sugar junk in their systems. they even caught jameson raiding the kitchen on tape at three in the morning wearing avery’s robe (it’s a really comfy robe, can u blame him?)

- while it’s hard to read savannah, gigi is one of the only people who can accurately do so (aside from rohan). as a result, she is the first and only person to find out that savannah and rohan hooked up on hawthrone island (and on night one at that). gigi squeals and gets excited bc rohan is a cutie and savannah was comfortable to actually do it, meanwhile savannah is telling her to stfu bc the world doesn’t need to know about her sex life

- gigi is inevitably the number one rohannah shipper, but she makes it very clear that if rohan ever hurts savannah, he’s getting clobbered so bad he’d be begging for the devil’s mercy (the actual devil’s mercy, not the club. rohan and savannah both find that unintentional pun very funny and gigi is very confused as to why they are holding back giggles)

- even tho jameson didn’t like her at first, lyra is incredibly stubborn and — like our ticking time bomb — does not know when to stop. she wins him over eventually tho

- everyone (save for jameson) teases grayson about his ridiculously obvious crush on lyra (jameson joins in on the teasing once he’s on better terms with lyra tho — and he’s relentless)

- avery freaked out when her personal instagram (averyk_grambs) got up to follower numbers in the millions after inheriting the hawthorne fortune bc she literally has two very instagram-filtered selfies of her and libby and her bio is just “avid board game lover <3” what does she do with this???

- alisa tried to help with the instagram thing, but she’s way too millennial for that so thea took it upon herself to un-cringe avery’s insta. they bonded over this

- avery and toby still meet up and play chess together every week. the winner buys brunch/lunch. the winner is still, more often than not, avery

- toby has tried instigating eve and avery bonding time. it hasn’t worked yet

- libby’s baby daughters do in fact use oren as their jungle gym. it’s very adorable and very funny. this is now oren’s lot in life and he has long since accepted this

- libby’s daughters are named hannah and sarah after avery’s mom (partial canon thanks games untold)

- after hawthorne legacy, max and xander’s platonic relationship fully kickstarted was when xander accidentally butt-dialed her at an ungodly hour working on his new contraption. max was up late anyway and picked up. it freaked out xander and then they talked about said contraption and various other tangents for hours on end. max continued to call for updates on said contraption but then it just became a regular thing for them. the rest is history

- eve does not know how to feel about our girl disaster gigi because how the hell does someone get kidnapped twice in 24 hours??? on top of that, she is an evidently strange child that constantly boggles poor eve (not to mention her one loyal lackey has a fondness for this weirdo and is calling her “sunshine???”). in short: gigi grayson is probably the only person eve is acutely terrified of

- all the girls somehow witness the on spake ritual once and when jameson and grayson start going at it, everyone is very concerned save for libby, who is groaning with her head in her hands, and avery, who’s just like “you get used to it after awhile”

- the first time on spake was ever directed at avery was in glorious rivals and she still doesn’t know if she should feel offended by that or not. this is also the only time this happens

- okay maybe it happens, like, two or three more times but that’s it

AND HERES A BONUS FOR LYRASON IN THEIR THE BROTHERS HAWTHORNE STAGE: 🥰🥰

Ooh!! YES!

- Avery and Jameson theme park dates!

- Grayson also plays the electric guitar. Secretly. And he’s very very good.

- Avery, Xander and Max are prank buddies. Sometimes Jameson is with them, but most of the time he’s the one they’re pranking👀

- Nash and Libby have an outdoor wedding

- Xander and Max eventually get married in a church and it’s the most adorable, sweet wedding ever ever ever. It’s a small church too, not a gigantic one.

- Avery and Jameson travel the world together and one night they decide screw it let’s get married and so they get married. And then their friends and family are like “what the heck we wanted to come to the wedding” so then they have a formal celebration but they still sneak away for most of it

- Xander doesn’t only like scones. He also has a collection of super obscure snacks no one has ever heard of, and those he really doesn’t share (until one day…Max)

- Nash is very good at cooking. Jameson is surprisingly ok at cooking as long as he focuses on what he’s doing. Grayson can’t cook to save his life, which really annoys him bc he follows the recipes perfectly and they never turn out. Xander has never once tried to cook (the one time he was allowed near a stove he was ten and almost burnt down the mansion)

so i loved xander's card, he looked really cute my scone-loving pookie <3 but i thought he would be like a little more muscular because yk he's the tallest hawthorne brother (and the other brothers ARE pretty tall) and he's an ENGINEER SO

i did NOT expect my man toby hawthorne to look so *coughs* hot and i LOVE the curls in his hair no complaints HERE!!! (oh but i have seen a few people saying that he's probably a ginger, but i think they would've pegged him as a laughlin pretty quickly if he really was so...)

AND THEN THE MAMA HANNAH ROONEY. she looks SO girlboss, and is it just me or is she giving blonde vibes? like her silhouette looks blonde, like ykyk??? but honestly she and avery look NOTHING alike so you know what that means...
