                PLATONIC (BOTH POSITIVE & NEGATIVE)

FRIENDZONED- “a friend who wanted to be something more but was denied.”

This could work either way, with Charlotte friend-zoning someone, or with her being the one friend-zoned. She has never had a boyfriend/feelings for someone really, and her knowledge of what that should be like is very slim, given her history... it would be easy for her misjudge her feelings and misread other’s, or be unable to express them properly to another person.

FINANCIAL AIDE- “one is financially supporting the other though they may or may not know”

Again, this could could work either way... security is a major thing for Charlotte, financially and otherwise. Though it’s a bit harder since she has no money and money is of no value to her in Serenity, it could work another way like as security instead of financially. Like a personal hitman, either for Charlie, or Charlie for someone else.

TRUST THE MISTRUSTED- “One friend is loyal and faithful, while the other is careless and (intentionally or unintentionally??) hurts the other”

Charlie’s a Achilles's Heel is that she really, truly does not trust anyone. So if she ever got to the point where she did trust someone, and they spilled her personal details.... oh that would be big. And juicy. World War 3. 

DEFAULT- “people who hate each other have no choice but to work together in a situation”

Because of her strong personality and stubbornness, I could see Charlotte bumping heads with some people... it would be interesting to see them be forced to work together, even if they don’t become friends in the end.

_________________________________

and then I also made a couple up.....

PARENT FIGURE- “Someone significantly older that a younger person looks up to like you would a parent, but with no blood relation”

Charlotte really does not have the best role models as parents, so finding someone who she can look up to for advice and parent-y things would be a great positive relationship for her

RIDE OR DIE- “More than just ‘best friends’; someone who the other will literally go to the end of the line with. For better or for worse”

This would be very big, but in a great way. So many things are a revolving door in her life, to find someone that she would do anything for and could never imagine her life without would be massive to Charlotte. She would do anything and everything for them.

SQUAD/ONE OF THE BOYS- “Friend or group of friends that they identify with or feel comfortable around”

Having a clique was never really Charlie’s thing, but I could see Charlotte feeling really comfortable hanging around guys/boys... you avoid a lot of the girl drama that comes with girl cliques. Charlie is tomboyish enough that she would totally fit in as ‘one of the guys’.

                                                  ROMANTIC

ACTUAL LOVE TRIANGLE- “two are fighting for the affection/attention of the same person, but end up falling for each other instead.”

Don’t ask me why, I totally see this being a thing Charlie would be a part of, in any way. She could be the odd one out, or one of the people falling for each other. I think this would be a cool plot to play out if 2 other people are interested!!

TOXIC- “Could be two way or one way; their relationship is more harmful than good or beneficial”

There are 3 options here... this could be a one way thing (Charlotte is the toxic one, or the other person is toxic for Charlotte), or a two way thing (both toxic to each other) honestly. As I type this, I’m really like this plot idea more and more... Charlotte is a runner, she fights until she literally can’t anymore, but her priorities are set... and if someone/something is lower on her list of priorities, she’ll easily run from it in order to tend to her more important needs. Again she trusts no one, so forming a true relationship would/will be difficult for her. She either won’t trust the other person, or won’t let the other person trust her... even if she really does care about them. She’s young and experienced in the world, but not experienced in close, personal ties.

BEARD- “dating, but only to cover up one (or both’s) true sexuality. Sometimes the beard is informed of the situation…. sometimes not :o”

Same with this one as with the love triangle! Any and every part of this plots, I could see Charlie being a part of. She understands wanting to escape ridicule so she’d be down to help someone out with that, but in terms of feelings and relationships she can also easily be played if they chose to not inform her. I haven’t really determined her sexuality, either, so I’m open to everything :)

UNREQUITED- “a one sided crush”

Charlotte in a nutshell, tbh. If you need someone to fall for your character but never really do anything about it because she 1. Doesn’t know how to, and 2. is to scared to, then this is the plot for you!

POWERPLAY- “Couple who’re only dating because one was blackmailed into the relationship”

Payton Lutz ( @princesspaytonlutz ) : Payton is my diva, my brittle-boned, hot-headed, who-do-you-think-you-are, treat-me-like-the-royalty-i-am princess who is bolder and more of a savage than she will appear at first glance. She’s “dating” the shitshow that is Malcolm Pitt ( @allaboutmalcolm ) and is INSANELY protective over their little couple-thing they got going on. long story short, don’t fuck with her/him and everything will be fine and dandy. 

Friends: Payton needs friends. She needs a girl to gossip with. She needs a bff. She needs to be close to someone she ISN’T dating *cough* mal *cough*

Enemy/Competition: Payton’s original enemy is now her boyfriend and all her other enemies have left serenity. She’s hot headed as fuck, shes bound to have more people dislike her/argue with her. i need this angst. thanks. 

Bad Influence: Pay needs an older, bad influence to guide her down the wrong path. She’s been going to well upstream lately and it’s SOO unlike her. She needs some dirt under her pretty nails, if you get what I’m saying. 

Abigail Winston ( @abbyslxve ): Abigail is a psychotic, obsessive un-diagnosed erotomaniac who is convinced her and a doctor, John Parris ( @doctorparris ), are madly in love and are one day going to run away together. She is currently pretending to have psychosis and harms herself in order to win John’s affection. She is borderline, clinically insane and she is just a big mess- let me tell you. 

Manipulants: I know that isn’t a word, get over it. Abigail lovessss to manipulate, and she needs a herd of loyal followers who she can bend to her every whim. She would get them to believe her act and blindly support her every move, that way if anyone attempts to make her look bad- she has her little squad to support her. 

Copy-Cat: Abigail very clearly doesn’t actually see spirits or anything she claims she does, it’s all just pretend- a big farce to win John’s pity and love. This character is who Abigail would “steal” symptoms from- so she would copy their visions, their reactions to visions, etc in order to make her act more believable.

Theodore Panitz ( @xrileyskeeper ): Theodore is my big, fluffy, teddy bear boy who is the older brother to the lowkey-but-also-highkey-sick-all-the-time Riley Panitz ( @riley-panitz ). Theodore is diagnosed with depression and self harm and is always super duper stressed about someone finding out. He claims his only reason for being here is for Riley but obviously that’s a load of BS. 

Love Interest: Theodore is a soft smol and is BOUND to lowkey develop a smol crush on someone/multiple someones. He’s just warm and fuzzy like that. Idk why I’m adding this to the list because I lowkey prefer natural plots that kinda GWTF when it comes to romance but :) Oh well! 

Bad Influence: Theodore is easy to manipulate because he’s just so soft and smol. He’s also stressed and sad about Riley soo oo o oo o o o oo o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o oo o oo o oo o o o o o o o o o o o o o o oo o oo o o oo o o o o o o o o

BFF: Theodore needs a best dude friend to just vent about his life and chick-problems too. Highkey gonna become the cutest brotp EVER.

Keegan Hughes ( @damnitkeegan ): Keegan is a pain in the ass, lowkey-narcissistic full-of-himself, thinks-he’s-the-shit security guard who i lowkey fucking hate. He is seriously the biggest piece of shit I have ever written as, doesn’t give a singular fuck about the kids and is more-so there to make himself look good. Why I still write as him is beyond me because all he does is make me angry but his faceclaim is hot so I guess I can suck it up.

Guilty-Pleasure: Someone Keegan uses over and over again in order to make himself feel good. He doesn’t really give a shit about them or why they are at Serenity- he just knows they make him feel g-r-e-a-t and that’s all that matters to his selfish, pea-sized brain. 

Pity-Party: Someone Keegan genuinely feels bad for and low-key makes him feel like an asshole for doing some of the shit he does. He’ll probably become like an older brother figure to whoever this is and will take on the role of being insanely protective of them. 

Soft-Hearted: Someone who makes Keegan all mushy and not selfish for like the few seconds he’s around them. He’ll most likely end up crushing on them super hard and it’ll totally be unlike him but he’ll get all stuttery and lost-for-words and ugh love bye.

Madelaine Carney ( @nopainmadelaine  ): Last but most certainly not least is my tomboy, my little angel who is filled with pain and sadness though she will never let it show, attempting to hide her feelings with optimism. She lost her brother in a car accident and cannot feel physical pain. She is desperately looking for friends and ways to escape the pain she /does/ feel emotionally and wishes there was a way she could physically feel- as she feels like its so overbearing to only feel things emotionally.  

(Most of the connections I want for Madelaine are on her blog, but I’ll list more descriptive ones here) 

A “New” Tobias: Someone to re-take on the big brother position that is now open. Madelaine is very heavily distraught by the loss of her best friend, and though no one can ever replace him, the effort will be appreciated and valued whole-heartedly. 

A Bad Influence: Madelaine is really vulnerable and therefore super duper manipulable. She needs someone to lead her to make all the wrong choices and handle her feelings all the wrong way because angst and pain amirite. 

PLATONIC (BOTH POSITIVE & NEGATIVE)

FINANCIAL AIDE- “one is financially supporting the other though they may or may not know.”

This could go either way? Aspen has some wealth and would definitely help people. I think it would be very interesting if this was a staff member too, in my opinion. But who knows, it could go the other way as well where Aspen needs money/help with something.

TRUST THE MISTRUSTED- “One friend is loyal and faithful, while the other is careless and (intentionally or unintentionally??) hurts the other.”

Aspen is ridiculously loyal, so she could totally end up trusting the wrong person with something and get hurt in the end. I have a feeling though that if that happened, there would be some backlash for the person that broke her trust... if it was super important, she likely wouldn’t just sit back and take the hit. Maybe in the moment, but in the long run, there would be karma.

BEST FRIENDS: “a partner in crime, more typically attached by the hip, consult each other, and couldn’t live without one another.”

I could see this being someone who Aspen feels relaxed while she’s with, like she doesn’t have to please them or appeal to them as much as everyone else. Someone that gives her space enough to breathe, they don’t always have to be talking or doing the same things, but whose company she really enjoys. They know they can always count on each other.

BAD INFLUENCE/PARTYING BUDDIES- “friends who constantly encourage each other to do bad things”

Maybe a character who also has addiction issues? That would seem the obvious route, since addictions can be downward spirals of doing bad things to fill a need. 

GOOD INFLUENCE- “(opposite of above)”

I thought this was interesting because the good and bad influence could almost be the same person, someone who takes advantage of Aspen’s disorder, feeding into her perfectionism, to play by the rules and do things a certain way. Aspen would probably look up to this person too, want the best for them and see them as a good example for her-- whether that is a good thing or a bad thing.

FRIENDZONED - “a friend who wanted to be something more but was denied”

Honestly I think it would be kind of funny if Aspen was the one who got friendzoned, perhaps totally misread a situation, whatever that situation may be. 

LOVE TRIANGLE- “two are fighting for the affection/attention of the same person.”

Aspen isn’t competitive, but she is determined. Being such a people-pleaser, even if the main person had chosen the other or was already with the other person, Aspen would still do her best to show her feelings, subtly. 

ROMANTIC

POWERPLAY- “Couple who’re only dating because one was blackmailed into the relationship”

I honestly think this has Aspen written all over it, she likes to keep things contained (”perfect”), so if she was blackmailed with something important then she’d do anything to keep it hidden.

UNREQUITED & SKINNY LOVE- “a one sided crush” / “ “both have feelings for each other, but are too afraid to admit it”

I put these together because (if you haven’t guessed it already) Aspen isn’t the most forward with her feelings. The only thing that changes is whether your character feels the same way about her. But if you need someone to give your character attention.... Aspen’s your girl.

PUMPKIN EATER- “character cheats on or with another. Cheater cheater…”

This ties in a lot of what was mentioned above in other plots-- I can see Aspen being used for someone else to cheat on their significant other with; especially if she did not know the other was already taken, or believe they had broken up, etc. She’d easily be conned and let her own feelings get in the way if Aspen really believed they liked her (or if the other person does actually have feelings for her too, not just using her, though I’m totally fine with either :) )

TOXIC- “could be two way or one way; their relationship is more harmful than good or beneficial”

Very similar to Powerplay + Bad Influencce... they could both be feeding into each others needs or addictions (diagnosis wise or otherwise), and they might not even realize just how bad things are? Like when they’re good, they’re g o o d together. But when they’re bad..... *Toxic by Britney Spears starts playing in the distance*

BEARD- “dating, but only to cover up one (or both’s) true sexuality. Sometimes the beard is informed of the situation…. sometimes not :o”

This just seems like something Aspen would do, she’s definitely down to help someone out. If she didn’t know about it, that also works too because she can sometimes be a bit naive.

ENDED SILENT TREATMENT- “exes who have been avoiding each other but are finally forced to face each other”

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted about plots so here’s an up to date one!

Malcolm: None at the moment, Malcolm will probably be dropped soon *tears forever*

Elliott, 13 years old, rescue ward patient diagnosed with self harm: I thought it would be cute if Elliott had a friend around his age, or like someone who was older to kind of look after him. Also if you have a pretty girl who’s older and want him to have a cute little crush on her that’s like 10/10 cuteness and sign me up. I really just need him to have friends though and for him to interact with more people. 

Dante, 18 years old, rescue ward patient diagnosed with heroin addiction and anorexia nervosa: Newest bae. I’m open to anything pretty much. Eventually I thought it would be interesting to have him attempt to get close to a doctor though to try and get them to give him drugs because he’ll be going through withdraws pretty soon. 

Quentin 28 year old nurse who’s a sarcastic and playful little snot: He’s been here for awhile and it’s about time he fucked up somehow, so I was thinking he didn’t take something seriously and it lead to something serious happening? Like someone got hurt or something? If you have a patient you want to do this with let me know! Or I think Quentin would also help a patient break the rules.
