I hate it. Have always and will always hate it. And I say that with my chest. My genuine, no holds barred, brutally honest opinion is that they were only put together because of the actorsâ real life romance. Because Iâve never felt like there was any other genuine reason for them to be together. I much prefer them as friends. Because theyâre great when they donât let sex get in the way. Well⌠great is me being generous; Iâll say it: I tolerate them even when theyâre friendly, too. No disrespect to anyone who loves them. Theyâre just not for me. I feel like they bring out the worst in each other more often that not, and Lucas was incapable of meeting Brookeâs needs and making her feel the way she wanted. She was trying to find, in him, things she would never receive. And they tried to bury that by fueling their sexual chemistry. Hardly a romance and hardly healthy.

đ¤ - how does your character react to being hit? are they likely to continue a fight if someone else starts it, or try to de-escalate or get away?
While I do think this is situational... in general, I feel like this:  When he first joins the family, he's so on edge that he would want to start a fight, no question; it would be instinctual, at that point.  But by the time he's fully settled into living with them, and he has a home again, I think that, while the impulse would be there, he would try really hard not to let it get that far. Unless the person in question is Michael, in which case he would punch that asshole so fucking fast. He isn't any easy person to get the best of, for the most part, and even if he'll never react well to being hit (because who does?), he'll get to a point where he recognizes that walking away is in his best interests.  If someone starts a fight, though, he's most definitely finishing it. Â
On Friday, @suchatinyinfinity tagged me to share something Iâve been working on. Since I donât have Photoshop open at the moment, I decided to go with... something Iâm writing. Thanks for motivating me to try and bang out the visuals that have been living in my head for actual months now (seriously, thank you). And thanks to anyone who does decide to read this peek into my OCs.
Nothing really happens here, because itâs setup for whatâs to come, but...
(Under the cut; proceed at your own risk.)
âI didnât think Iâd be asleep that long,â Eva said, wincing against the insistent pressure. Â She brought one hand up, pressing her fingers against the top left side of her nose bridge, where the pain felt the most intense now. Â With the other, she popped open the glove and got the Excedrin, opening it fast. Â âDidnât think Iâd sleep.â Â Gently, she shook the bottle until two pills tumbled out into her palm, white as chalk, and it was only then she realized the dryness in her throat, constricting and painful. Â Suddenly, two small pain relievers looked like horse pills, and the sight of them made something turn in her stomach. Â Some small part of her wanted to roll her eyes at the hesitation, while another instead wondered if that wouldnât hurt too much.
She slapped the pills into her mouth and downed them with half the bottle of water she found in the cupholder inside the door, looking up in time to catch the profile of Markâs smile, soft and warm. Â Even though he couldnât look, she still returned it with one of her own, then wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. Â âSorry, Iâm a shit copilot.â
âNo, you needed it. Â And itâs only been an hour,â he said. Â âGot about twenty minutes left âtil we get there.â Â His smile got a little bigger, she noticed, and it made her smile again, too. âShould close your eyes again, rest some more.â
âHmm, maybe.â  She tried to drink away the bitterness of swallowing pills on an empty stomach with more water, then screwed the cap back on and put the bottle down beside her.  âKinda feels like I canât wake up, but Iâm trying,â she whispered, sniffling before she slowly exhaled.  She leaned her head back, resting it against the seat and, after that, didnât need more convincing; heavy as they were, her eyes practically fell closed.  No sleep, though.  Even if she wanted to, now, she couldnât.  Turning her head toward the passenger side window, she enjoyed the comfortable silence for a while, listening to the hum of the engine, the wind, the tires on the road. Sunlight bathed her face, but it wasnât completely warm; that weirdly deceptive, not-quite-spring kind of heat that made her wish the last traces of winter would just hurry up and leave.  Not yet, but soon. ⌠I hope. Â
After a few more minutes, she sat up a bit straighter and swept one hand along the side of her face, brushing back the mess of her bangs. Â The headache was still there, but now it was bearable, and she opened her eyes again. Â âYou know, you still havenât said where youâre taking me,â she murmured, picking at a loose thread in the knee of her leggings. Â Markâs hand reached over, gently brushing hers aside so that he could cup her knee, her crossed legs allowing his fingers to settle behind it as he reached a little further. Â The tip of his thumb drew circles against the skin there in an idle rhythm, tickling just enough to make her laugh, her hand circling his wrist. Â âMark!â
âIf I promise itâs worth it, will you let me keep it a surprise?â
tagging @markcampbells @afterthenovels @pheedraws, because I want to know what theyâre up to; and re-tagging @something-tofightfor @the-blind-assassin-12 @suchatinyinfinity; because Iâm greedy, and I want to see more.

2. Who wants to stay in bed just a little longer? -- I feel like they're both guilty of this. Â I honestly don't know a single character who gets out of bed the very second their alarm goes off despite what TV and movies tell us. Â Like, that's just not realistic, I'm sorry. Â I do, though, feel like Hayden is a little bit more guilty of this than Cordelia is. Â Worst of all when it's Friday.
21. Whoâs clumsier? -- ... Hayden. Â It's not to the point of being embarrassing or anything, but he trips. Â Like, a fair amount. Â Even more when he's tired. Â He bumps into doorknobs, trips going up the stairs, closes doors and drawers on his fingers... and so on. Â They have a lot of band-aids in their first aid kit. Â Let's leave it at that.
31. Who has bigger cravings? What are they? -- Kind of obvious...ish? Â When she's pregnant, Cordelia has more cravings--and they're for very specific things, like Eva's guacamole or their mom's chicken and dumplings, or blueberry muffins from her favorite bakery and no other--but Hayden has been known to have some intense cravings, too. Â For coffee, for toast and tea, for time spent walking outside instead of being trapped in the office. Â If he's had a long and difficult day, he comes home craving a hug.
Why donât you ship it? -- I personally feel these two bring out the worst in each other, and lacked chemistry. Â That's something that can't be fixed, faked, or forced. Â Plus, when you factor in the eleventh hour ending they wrote for Alex's character that saw him abandoning his committed relationship to return to her... no, thank you.
What would have made you like it? -- Better writing that made the characters stronger and more likable.
Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it? -- I admire what they tried to do with them, and there'll always be a soft spot in my heart for their moment in the S2 finale, where Alex picks Izzie up from Denny's hospital bed, and she cries in his arms. Â Beyond that, their entire relationship is a blur for me.
