𐙚⋆.˚She's good enough to be in the top 10 Henley Hall students, but bad enough to spend half her time in detention♡

Charlie Dalton

English: The surname Dalton is an Anglo-Saxon and Hiberno-Norman habitational name meaning “settlement in a valley”. It originates from several northern English towns with the same name.

Portuguese: Charlie’s mother’s family has roots in Portugal, although he knows very little about his maternal origins because of an unintentional estrangement between him and his grandparents [they live far away from each other and he doesn’t get to see them often]

Norwegian & Danish: Inherited through his paternal line, most likely from a woman who married into the Dalton family [inspired by Gale Hansen whose last name is a Scandinavian patronymic name meaning "son of Hans"]

Neil Perry

Irish & English: Both of his parents have ancestral origins in Ireland and England [most likely third or fourth generation in regards to his Irish ancestry, whereas his English origins stretch all the way back to the English settlers]

Welsh: The surname Perry is a Welsh patronymic formed as a shortened, anglicized version of ap Harry (son of Harry).

Todd Anderson

French: Inherited through his mother who was first generation French-American. Mrs. Anderson spent many summers visiting her grandparents in France and would later take her sons to do the same with her own parents [who moved back to France in their old age]

Swedish, Danish & Norwegian: The surname Anderson was found widely across Scandinavian in countries like Sweden and Denmark (often spelled Andersson or Andersen)

Knox Overstreet

Belgian, English & German: The surname Overstreet derives from Old English words like ofer (bank, upper) and stræt (street, road), or potentially as an altered form of the Flemish name Overstraete or German Oberstrass.

Ashkenazi Jewish: Inherited from both of his parents [inspired by Josh Charles’s Jewish ancestry]

Richard Cameron

English: Cameron has family ties in England through his mom and dad. He still has relatives living in England [mainly on his mom’s side] and visits them during the holidays.

Scottish: Both of Cameron’s parents have Scottish ancestry, although his dad’s family has stronger roots there. He’s first generation Scottish-American through Mr. Cameron [who was born in Scotland but moved to the USA with his family when he was still a baby]

Gerard Pitts

English: He gets this from both his mother and father, although it’s the least acknowledged; his dad is almost purely Scottish [and it’s quite common to have origins in England if you’re from states within the New England area… which I’d assume most of the Poets are.]

Scottish: Gerard is second generation Scottish-American through his grandfather who had immigrated to the USA from Scotland. [This headcanon was inspired by James Waterston’s ancestral origins in Scotland via his father, Sam Waterston.]

German: Inherited solely through his maternal line. Gerard received his mother’s last name at birth, which is the Americanized version the German surname Pitz. [thanks to @mashenka-writes for letting me borrow the headcanon of Gerard being solely raised by his mom]

Steven Meeks

Italian: He’s second generation Italian-American through his dad. Steven’s paternal grandmother is an Italian immigrant [this headcanon was made by @mashenka-writes who based it off of Allelon Ruggiero’s Italian ancestry]

Scottish & English: The surname Meeks has origins in both Scotland and England.

I would hang the stars for you

And I see it in you that you would help to steady the ladder

Holding it still as I teeter on the top step

Watching me pin the soft lights to the endless black abyss so that we may find our way in the night

I would paint the fruit for you

And I would swatch the flushed hue from your lips

A splotchy red like strawberries when we kiss

And with a taste just as sweet to match

I would wash the clouds for you

And I would wring out the water in thick droplets

That gently thunk against our window pane

Lulling your cluttered mind slowly to sleep

I would sew the birds for you

And I would carefully stitch on each vibrant feather

Following how you attached the tattered peace sign to my sleeve

A reminder of what we really should’ve been fighting for all along.

I would sway the waves for you

And I would let them linger a little longer as they cover the shore

Like you draping the thick blanket over my shaking shoulders

Attempting to whisper my harsh memories away as I sob in your arms

I would sketch the hills for you

And I would run my pencil over the page like you run your fingers through my hair

Slowly, smoothly, with quiet undeserved care

Saying you forgive me, you forgive me, you forgive me

I would blow the wind for you

And my breath would whistle out of my lips

Ringing like the currently irrelevant tea kettle in my ears

As I watch you almost burn down our kitchen in an attempt at breakfast

I would mould the world for you

And I would leave no more space for those who say we’re wrong

Who say I’m scum or you’re stupid or we’re confused

And life’s beauty would burn brighter than ever before

I would invent a language for you

And I know I don’t have to since you already understand my incoherency

Because you know that birds are not sewn and clouds are not washed and fruit is not painted

But you know I would do it all for you

I didn’t finish my anderperry idea yet but 👀

here’s what I DID finish:

I was relying HEAVILY on my computer light 😰😰😰
