"MY PETALS ARE SOFT, AND SILKY AS MY SHEETS"

── JULIA BELLA LOPEZ is... well, there isn't much to her, to be honest. i guess she's acted in some stuff like moonrise kingdom and priscilla and she's voice acted in like regular show and adventure time... she's good at that... i think? i'm not sure. i mostly know her as the daughter of the legendary mario lopez and thalia.

okay, assuming you live under a rock and dont know anything about mario lopez or thalia, i guess i can tell you about them. though i'm not getting paid extra to do so. thalia is a famous mexican singer, actress, songwriter and so on. so she's basically more than a triple threat. now mario lopez is an actor and producer. these two began dating in the late 1980s. they would get married in 1990, and then thalia would give birth to elio in 1994—a spunky and gentle artist. then, in 1997, santos would be born. he'd find that his talents would lay in baseball. three years later, ms. jules was born.

she's just... there, i guess.

since the day julia could open her eyes, she could remember getting a new chanel bag every month, new coach glasses weekly and a new dior lipgloss daily. this girl is spoiled rotten. and if this didn't give her an ego, her parents' and the medias constant attention and praise definitely did.

you know with all this constant privilege and status, you'd think "wow, this girl must be bratty with a capital b." well, you'd be wrong. (don't worry—i thought the same thing, haha.) julia is actually incredibly genuine and humble. i mean, i've definitely witnessed a good amount of meltdowns over things not going her way, but i'd say that besides that, she's pretty down to earth.

not just that, but julia is extraordinarily smart. like nerd-you-see-in-a-movie type smart. this girl can run through the lore of at least fifteen fandoms from start to finish and can give you a timeline of nearly any major historical event. the moon landing? she's got a notebook dedicated to it. the renaissance era? yeah, she made one of her bedroom walls look like an evidence board in a criminal minds. regular show? she's literally dating one of the voice actors!

julia is the embodiment of don't judge a book by its cover.

"I NOTICE EVERYTHING. I JUST ACT LIKE I DON'T."

"YEAH, EVERYONE'S REPLACEABLE—BUT NOT ME THOUGH."

── MS. JULES hasn't been up to much recently. she's just kinda been living, i guess. there's not much to do as a nepo baby. i mean, julia is kinda set for life. she's got money and status, so worry isn't a word in her world.

you know, as the narrator of a nepo baby, you'd think i'd have some crazy stories to tell or some interesting update—but to be honest, julia is pretty normal. if you put aside the fact that her mother is a famous singer, her father is an award winning producer, and she live's in a penthouse at twenty three.

i guess she's recently wrapped up the whole barbie promotion thing. yeah. i know. this girl was in barbie. crazy, right?

oh! she's also recently adopted a bombay cat and named it bambi. she also did just come back from a romantic vacation to italy with her boyfriend. erm... besides that, julia has just been living her life to the fullest—you know, by spending her parents' money, working (not really, but you know..), relishing in the attention of the public, going to parties, spending time with her voice actor boyfriend.

yeah. normal, i guess. julia is so lame. i need my money back.

"IF I BRING YOU TO MY WORLD, YOU'LL NEVER WANNA LEAVE."

"I WANT YOU CONSTANTLY, ETERNALLY, UNCONDITIONALLY."

── SAM MARIN AND JULIA LOPEZ have an interesting meet—cute. it wasn't exactly ideal, according to julia.

as previously stated, julia lopez is a nerd—not just in historical eras or timelines, but in cartoons. one cartoon she's dedicated far too much time to is regular show. regular show started when she was 17. she fell in love with all of it immediately—the art style, the plot, the music—but her favorite thing was the characters. pops was her favorite. she just thought his voice and personality was hilarious.

one day in 2019, she got tickets to a comic-con where the voice actors of regular show would be doing a panel. time wasn't on her side though. the photoshoot she was at ran later than expected, and she barley made it to the panel.

sam marin—also known as the voice of pops, muscle man and benson—looked up, and his jaw dropped. was that really julia lopez, or was he dreaming? julia had been turned around, mumbling to herself something about "stupid time" and shaking her head. she began to walk away before she heard the voice of benson say:

"...aren't you julia lopez?"

she looked back, her brows furrowed. "how does sam marin know who i am?" she thought.

you know, for a girl who's extremely knowledgeable in so many things, she can really be oblivious to her status sometimes.

"benson?" she said in that questioning tone.

sam's face lit up. "yeah! well... kinda? i'm the voice of—" he gave her a shy smile.

"yeah, i know. i'm a fan."

"you are?" he raised his brows in shock.

"i'm literally dressed as pops. can't you tell?"

"oh, yeah, sorry. i just... didn't expect someone like you to watch the show—wait! no! that's not what i meant!"

before he could continue his ramble, julia interrupted.

"i know what you meant." she gave him a reassuring smile. "so is the meet-and-greet thing over?"

he stared at her for a beat before nodding and speaking up "uh... yeah. i was just packing up."

she frowned. "awe, shucks!" she lowered her head and puffed up her cheeks with air—sam would later learn that she did this while thinking.

she turns to face him. "do you wanna get pizza or something?"

sam started at her once again—but this time disbelief painted his face.

"...m-me?" he pointed at himself.

she nodded.

after that pizza hangout, they would go on a date. then three. then five. then eight. then, on their tenth date, sam would say:

"julia, would you give me the honor of being your boyfriend?"

julia nearly fainted but agreed immediately, nodding her head repeatedly.

"SIN TI, NO PUEDO ESTAR."
