#thomas ask

I was wondering do any of your MC‘s and or OC‘s donate to charity or are they involved in helping out at a charity? If so which one and what kind of cause do they support?

Thanks a bunch 🩷

yay! Thank you for the ask! I love this one!

YES! YES! and YES!!!

Charities and worthy causes are super important to most if not all of my characters!

Bryce has a lot of causes he helps with, but one that I've written about is him helping raise money and resources for the wildfire that burned through Maui last year. [Tides of Change] There was supposed to be a follow up fic where he goes to Hawaii for a week to volunteer as a doctor to help those in the area.

Olivia raises money for a lot of children's charities, she also organizes and runs them for Edenbrook while she's there and even after she leaves to start Sunshine Pediatrics. She also volunteers her own time and resources to organize events for the children that help bring normalcy and a little fun to their lives. [Bounce] [ Shining through the Shadows] And while not a charity, she (and Bryce) does(/do) provide a special public service of repairing patient's stuffed animals [No Patient too Small]. Every month at her Sunshine Pediatrics, she organizes volunteers to help fix any of the patients stuffed friends (for free to the families)!

Daenarya and Mal open and run an orphanage to save children from being taken in by the Thieves Guild. They also buy the freedom of other children that have been taken in. They're raising money and working to rebuild the slums of White Tower to help provide a better life for the forgotten citizens. [The Orphanage]

Both Thomas and Alex donate to many causes and charities, particularly hospitals and children's charities. After, Alex is sexually assaulted, she speaks out for survivors of assault and volunteers at a center for women. Alex also raises awareness and money for animal shelters.

A Christmas to Remember (animal shelter, featuring Bogart!)

Love Finds A Way (AU takes place at an Edenbrook fundraiser)

Giving Back (Alex reading to children at a hospital and donating little goodies for later)

Setting the Record Straight (mentions working at an assault center)

Pretty much the same I think, someone boiled an egg on Duck’s whistle and it sounded funny, Mike got all pretentious about engine whistles and then lost his own. The fact that it was an egg makes me think Bill and Ben did it, but idk what they’d be doing around Duck’s engine so I’m leaning more towards Donald and Douglas. Duck was very embarrassed either way

This is really short but I also redrew this line because I love it sm

For any and all you wish to answer for

For any and all

Thank you!

yay! Thank you for the asks! 💛💛💛

Mal: Caution: May will steal your valuables. Prone to mischief. Be ware of unexpected charm

Daenarya: Warning: fiercely protective and loyal. Approach with respect and kindness. May get you out of your clothes before the end of the night. Be ware of her kissing skills, you'll never get enough.

Bryce: Warning: high energy and intensely competitive. Will challenge you to anything and everything.

Olivia: Caution: literal ray of sunshine. Use of sunscreen is encouraged. Be ware of her infectious smile and laughter. Will help you see the best in yourself

Thomas: Warning: Intensely passionate and dedicated to artistic pursuits. Perfectionist. Handle with care during stressful projects. Be ware of grumpy and slightly cynical

Alex: Caution: highly creative and spontaneous with incurable optimism. Will help you see the bright side of things.

Mal: Charming and confident, but a little aloof. Mischievous. Like nothing bothers him.

In truth: Mal is more caring and romantic than he seems. His over confidence is a front to keep people from getting too close. Once you get to know him, you'll see how much more there is to him than the roguish facade

Daenarya: cute, determined, loyal. She doesn't look imposing so those who don't know her will underestimate her strength, ability, and sexual appetite.

In truth: Daenarya is adorable and determined and loyal. She is kind and compassionate, but she is a little mischievous and enjoys harmless fun. She enjoys sex, a lot and is not very picky. She truly will appreciate everyone's body and help them love it too.

Daenarya: She struggles a lot with guilt especially when Kade got taken. She blamed herself. She's come a long way, but there are still moments she feels that guilt. Overall her mental health is good. She has moments, but she works through them with Mal, Maiele, and the children.

Mal: Struggles with his mental health but doesn't seem like it. He is definitely haunted by his past and the trauma of his upbringing. He feels like he has to prove himself every single day and he tries not to let things touch him, when he cares so deeply. He struggles with shame of not being enough and for what he did in the Thieve's Guild.

Alex: Prior to the stalking and sexual assault, she was pretty strong mentally, she struggles more after those events. She keeps a pretty private life. She sees a therapist to help her cope and remember that none of it was her fault.

Bryce: On first glance, Bryce seems put together, but he has a lot of buried grief and pain. He doesn't even realize it, he had buried it all so deep. Keiki coming back stirs it back up. He is filled with grief and shame feeling he abandoned her. Olivia helps him through it and over time she helps him heal. It's not easy and he needs to do a lot of work on his own. Rebuilding his relationship with Keiki also plays a huge part of helping him reconcile with the things he suppressed. I also HC his Tūtū (grandmother), helps him too. He was close with her prior to leaving. She would check in periodically and he was always grateful to her. Bryce did go to therapy as well. He wanted to let go of the hurt and pain he was holding on to.

Lilah: Lilah struggles with her mental health and PTSD. She feels guilt for not being able to save her father. She sees a therapist and takes medication.

Trystan: That poor beautiful prince/king/amateur detective. His family really messed him up. His mental health is all over the place. He overcompensates with his his party boy front, but is really struggling inside trying to fill the void in himself left by his toxic family.

I might add more later but for now, I think this is it! Thank you for the ask! This was fun! 💛💛💛

“You think it would look better that way?” Thomas grins with a short tilt of his head as he looks back over the other, pushing Layton’s hair back carefully. “I think it was probably a smart idea to move our sessions to a more private space.” He added, the ease coming through his tone as he pushed himself a little bit more forward.

listen—Thomas Gardiner is a gay boy’s fantasy come to life. he is first an artist and second a human being. he would paint all day, every day if he could, and that’s probably why he doesn’t have a ship just quite yet. but i know you’ll change that fairly soon if i have any say in it.

“No, I don’t think mom and dad even know what birth control is.” Thomas uttered back, before giving a sharp glance to his brother, short grin pulling at his lips as he was just happy he wasn’t a twin with any of his other siblings. “For all that it’s worth, I’m glad that we’re the twins.”

“Too much—there’s too much to worry about. My biggest fear, though, has to be finding something out that I never wanted to know, something so intuitively brought to me with this disease of an ability. Something that changes my life in a bad way. Because sometimes, it’s better for information to be given organically.”
