I’m not gonna talk about how it starts

But in the story when Phil notices that poppy is clearly trying to hide the fact that she’s struggling - shaking or being afraid Phil offers to do stuff to take poppy’s mind off of the current situation like giving her a candy bar (Snickers to be exact which poppy kind of really really loves) or even doing Poppy’s hair (so yes poppy literally walks around with different hairstyles because of Phil)

(Rough sketch- I’m cringing here) poppy is weirdly hard to draw bc of her proportions!

Did some more warm up sketches theyre kinda bad bc i have no idea what’s going on with my computer/stylus??? It kept glitching??? I had no chance to edit and adjust???

And poppy is so crazy to draw???

Phil’s hair was lighting me up too-

Poppy can’t really answer bc she doesn’t know any modern actors and all her choices are dead

Ollie (who Phil DIDN’T ask) says he knows someone and says his choice would be Christian bale

Phil stops and asks “Christian bale? As in THE American Psycho, Batman Begins, and Howl’s Moving Castle Christian Bale?

And Ollie is like ‘yep! He’d be the perfect choice!’

A minute of silence passes and then she starts laughing and wheezing so hard that she falls to the ground.

Poppy asks her why she’s laughing and she’s like “I don’t know it’s just different, I guess- I just don’t think Christian Bale’s voice can go that high-,”

And poppy scolds her to be nice to Ollie who’s nearly breaking character over the phone while Phil Keeps on laughing and apologizing.

Ollie asks poppy if his voice is that high and poppy is like “uh well…these phones don’t have the best audio quality-,”

Partially because Philomena is a mouthful and she’s so impartial about her name that she collects nicknames like Pokémon

Her Dad: Philly-bean

Her mom: Fina/Nina

Dr. Preston: Minnow

Eli: Mena/Minnie

Riley: Lola

Poppy: Pippa (I personally think this one is the cutest ngl)

Rich Lovitz: Phil

Dr. Harley Sawyer: *censored*

If you were to force Eli to be honest with you- he’d note that Phil was really defiant/headstrong as a kid.

She never gave up on anything or anyone. (Much to the dismay of some scientists- particularly Dr. Sawyer who said she was ‘untestable’ )

The site had a cat that one day had a litter of kittens. They were letting some of the children take care of the kittens when they noticed there was a very small runt in the group. They didn’t expect it to survive the night but Phil refused to give up on it.

Dr. Willard did try to break it gently to her that sometimes in life things are unfair and can’t be changed but Phil wasn’t having it.

Eli told her that it was pointless. Eli knew a lot (scientifically) but he didn’t think the kitten had a chance. But whether it be out of sheer pity or just stubbornness she wrapped it in blankets and nursed it for the night and come sunrise when the kitten survive.

She raised that kitten for a few years but when it died she was beyond devastated.

Eli, who’d once been her biggest detractor in the matter was ironically the one who had to comfort her then. Maybe the kitten hadn’t lived as long as she hoped but it had still outlived everyone’s expectations because she’d been determined to give it a chance to enjoy whatever little time it had.

-Phil learned how to speak Greek/German through her mother who only ever spoke those languages to Phil.

-Phil’s dad would speak patois/English to her. Phil’s dad had an accent that he did try to hide at times but would often still slip out and Phil ended picking it up.

-Phil speaks English with a soft British English accent but speaks Greek with a Greek accent.

Absolutely no one:…

Not even Harley Sawyer:…
