goose_ooc | It's me, again, already

Okay so Chris probably knows of Asher because they're both seniors and they share like four classes. And no clubs and he doesn't care about your newsletter. But Asher's baby brother IS on the same team as Chris and during try outs, Chris was pulling for the kid (we no longer have the kid; it's a damn shame). I feel like with Asher's personality, it could really go either way. Chris is a very big advocate for nonbullying (being aggressive is not the same thing as bullying okay) and nonlabelling, but he's also a lot more vocal than Asher. Once you KNOW him, he can be less aggressive and more serious, but it depends if Asher really cared about knowing him earlier on.

Olivia probably does not have much to do with Asher but she loved your newspaper and she's pulling for you, dude. You can do whatever you set your mind to

Solomon has what I would consider the closest to an eidetic memory. The way this kid can relay information is insane but he's super interested to know everything. But since he's only a sophomore, he doesn't know of this newsletter and likely doesn't know of Asher unless they bond over the journals or something? I assume that's probably more open ended than anything.

Look at that scowl. That scowl is the entire concept for Chris's character. Right there in one icon, it's great.

That is the best stank face (I'm a legit sucker for stank faces, they just make me really happy, bahaha).

I'm definitely curious to see how he and Chris go! Agree I can see it going either way - they have some common goals so maybe they will occasionally meet in the middle on those and then get along-ish. Asher is generally pretty forgiving so even if he sees Chris as a little too rough around the edges for his general liking, he won't really hold it against him.

Asher will gladly take Olivia's support because man, this newspaper is his life right now outside of studying and singing his brains out.

He and Solomon will maybe nerd out with their fancy brains?? We'll have to see!

Omigosh, the Gutherie Gazette, that's so cute. Just based on a quick read of his app, I think he and Cricket would probably get along. I mean, she base level gets along with pretty much everyone, but I can see them being sorta close. She'll try to coach him through his breakup.

Hahaha, omg breakup coaching sounds amazing.

THIS IS HER DESTINY! She'll be like, "Come, my child. Cry on my shoulder." We'll have to hash out all the deets sometime.

Hahaha, definitely! The best part is he won't want to talk about it AT ALL so he'll just try to play polite and act like he has no idea what she's talking about he's doing totally fine

We'll have to see how they vibe, but if they have any sort of friendship chemistry at all, she will be really pushy and like a bossy big sis. If not, she'll let him be! (But I'm hoping for the former)

For sure! I am also hoping for the former :D

lol I was gonna say Chris can relate to the break up drama

but really, a couple weeks ago he found a magic rock (like legit magic) that 'makes you feel like everything's gonna be okay' when you squeeze it, and he's steadily starting to trade humans for this rock. He doesn't need the reliance shit on humans, it's okay, he's got a rock.

So for Asher, do not relate to Chris on the break up drama, because he's not gonna be able to help you cope healthily. He's dependent on a rock.

Zero joke I busted out laughing this morning when I read about Chris's rock coping mechanism. Asher will help you Chris! Because he's nice and also because he can totally pretend like he is 100% fine if he's busy helping someone else!

ok ok i'm back too. i was actually having shower thoughts last week about a gooseberry paper, so ASHER LOOKS WONDERFUL.

casey is now the irrelevant one. GOODBYE CASEY.

kurt! is still what i said in hazel's thing, as well as having a stutter and being a historically very shy dude who is currently trying to BREAK OUT OF THAT SHELL. his dad works for MACUSA and kurt spends half of his breaks in NYC as a result. kurt would like asher. they're also in animagus studies (ALTHOUGH KURT IS A DOG. DUN DUN DUNNN.)

quinnnn shares a bunch of classes with asher! i don't know how much they really know each other but i think they would get along.

:D Yay!! I'm excited for the paper mostly because it's totally ridiculous and I hope we get some silly as hell stuff out of it.

Kurtttttttt, they def need to be Animagus/NYC bros. They can hang out over break which is totally adorable, let's be real

DID SOMEBODY SAY ADVICE COLUMN??????????

hello, rin, i'm ali! nice to meet you and welcome to the game! i have levi here (senior azurcrest, quid chaser) and maggie

fensterln (senior ebonhide, head girl).

levi would totally want to participate in an anonymous advice column. he's known for giving a lot of ~~crass~~ EXCELLENT advice. here and here (ok, basically this whole anon post is where he got high and started dishing out heart-to-hearts and life advice). and heeee loves karaoke.

maggie is also moping over a break up so they can eat ice cream and bond over that :C she dated the head girl last year and was really serious about her but they broke up before the start of the school year. maggie claims the break up was mutual because the long distance thing was illogical while maggie was in boarding school and confined to holiday visits but the truth is maggie was definitely wanting and willing to wait for her gf and visit over holidays and she's pretty hurt that her gf didn't feel the same level of dedication. SO SORT OF SIMILAR SITUATIONS? older girlfriend graduated, broke up, and now they're both focusing their pain on constructive outlets and pretending that there's no pain because they are CALM AND STRONG and reluctant to share their problems with people.

she also totally uses products from his mom's cosmetics line.

Hey Ali! <333

I have heard many a thing about Levi and am totally into this advice column, even more so after reading his actual advice. A+ human being. Can he and Asher please sing a stupid duet???

Awww Maggie! They can definitely bond over their break up situation and them totally being in denial about not being fine :D maybe they can secret mope together while they work on things and at least take comfort in knowing that the other is going through a similar thing and also not talking about it.

He'll get her all the free cosmetics, even though of course she is totally pretty without them but he supports her presenting herself however she'd like, says Asher.

Cheryl again, with the same crew!

Chloe is also a Ribbonfin, and she'd love the idea of the newsletter! She'd offer to draw illustrations for it!

Cameron ALSO LOVES KARAOKE!! And they're both in choir!

Tess is also a senior, and in several classes with him.

SO MUCH KARAOKE, SO MUCH NEWSLETTER!

I.. I really want illustrations now. That had never even crossed my mind but it's so gooood.

There should be a Guthrie doge meme for this. XD

OKAY HELLO AGAIN. IT IS STILL MANX.

Sun-mi is one of the senior Ribbonfin prefects. She is pretty awful when it comes to the rules enforcement part (more Cool Big Sister than Mom), but she is very supportive and maybe a little too eager to encourage people to follow their dreams, whatever they are. She tends to leave the boys to Ravi's care, but she would be happy to talk with Asher about anything troubling him. She comes off on the superficial and flighty side though, thanks to her weakness for Cute Girls. She's also like BFF with Ravi and they are a pretty terrible duo when they both get into a meddling mood.

Ursula is a year below him and also has a business lady mom so they have that in common. She's very interested in gossip and understanding what motivates people and every time a music question comes up I just want to answer "she listens to the news!" SO. I can see her being pretty interested in Asher's pet project.

Asher will find Sun-mi so freaking endearing I think. He loves it when people empower others, of course, even if they're sometimes a little too lax with rules ;)

He'll be so pumped to know that some people at school care about his newsletter! So I'm sure he'll at least ask for opinions on it when he finds out she's interested.

So I'm replying to your intros backwards. DEAL WITH IT.

I am Sara! I used to go by Rin on the internet a long time ago! WEIRD.

I have four.

This is Isaiah. He is Asher's roommate! He's a p. serious introvert and he spends the majority of his time in the music room (he's composing a piano concerto for his senior project, and he's the student accompanist for Choir, he is that kind of nerd,) but I feel like after four years he's pretty comfortable with all of his roomies. At least. I hope he is. He's quiet and a little stiff but he's a really nice guy if you can get past that? Also his uncle works here, so: connections!

I also have a bb Ribbonfin, Gabi Flores

gabiflor She's very sweet and optimistic and naive. She loves everyone. She would think the Guthrie Gazette thing is ADORABLE (once you explained the concept to her.) She is Guatemalan and has a chinchilla. She wants hugs.

Saira Raza

sairaza is a Coppertale junior and is basically Hermione + sarcasm. She spends most of her time working though she occasionally emerges to be badass at things idk. She would LOVE to be in on this school newsletter thing somehow.

And finally Ree Hobbs

reehobbs is my lil Azurcrest maniac. She's all over everyone all the time, I don't even know what to say about her anymore. She'll probably bug Asher all the time just by virtue of bugging everyone all the time.

And I'm replying to you backwards!! OOPS.

SO WEIRD. Rin is not my real name (no surprise there, it's actually Lauren), but I still go by my super awesome middle school nickname like an adult.

Isaiah seems like such a cute patoot, I'm sure Asher will love listening to him play piano and will of course appreciate his accompaniment for choir. We'll have to discuss roomie history/interactions and the like.

Asher will adore Gabi because she is too cute not to!! He'll try to protect her I'm sure!

Yassss sassy Hermione! We can definitely sort out something for her on the newsletter.

And Asher will manage Ree with all the patience in the world :D

OOPS.

Katherine is my middle name and I went through a period of REALLY hating 'Sara.' So.

He is a cute patoot, just don't tell him that, he'll just awkward at you all the more.

Gabi has two older brothers and is so used to/comfortable with being protected by older boys that it's amazing. Perhaps unhealthy. IDK.

Awesome.

She will meet his patience with flirtation, as she does.

Asher will just assign him a cutesy song in his head and Isaiah can be none the wiser ;) I am so excited for everything you have no idea

AND IT'S MEGGIE AGAIN. ♥

So, Diego will like Asher, because... Diego likes everyone. However, he has a complicated relationship with Ribbonfin, since he cheated on Tabitha with Anuhea last year. BUT, Diego is a talented musician and he's in choir with Aiden, and he's on very friendly terms with Ravi and Isaiah.

Reid will know Asher a little through the Animagus Studies connection, buuuut not much else. He's got some kind of connection with Aiden since they're on the same team and Aiden replaced him as Seeker SO WE'LL SEE WHAT THE ENDS UP BEING.

Rafael will be polite and friendly, and he's very close with Sun-mi and Ravi. He's also got a silly streak despite his severity, and will probably enjoy teasing Asher and joking around with him. He has a reputation for being the bad cop prefect, though, and he's unpleasantly competitive, so he might rub Asher the wrong way.

Calvin is a little sophomore Ribbonfin, and he's not an uncommon sight in Asher's cabin because he has a big crush on Ravi. Calvin's an excellent student but pretends he's struggling in Hermeticism so Ravi will tutor him. (Spoiler: he's not struggling at all.) Calvin admires Asher's ambitions with the newsletter. Also everyone in that cabin is cute and he's awkward.

Ohh Diego. I'm sure they'll get along despite any awkwardness with Ribbonfins :) Curious to see if Reid and Asher interact a bit/how that goes. I can see a bit of friction between Rafael and Asher but it'd be pretty minor given their chill-ness.

Calvinnnnn that is too adorable. There really is too much attractiveness in that cabin, so I don't really blame him. Depending on how sneaky Calvin is about his crush Asher may or may not notice (not sure if everyone else knows??), but he won't call him out on it!

ahh ok yay ! :DD

soo both my girls are seniors, so asher totally runs into both of them all the time. z is a little more relevant because yay ribbonfin!! ♥ she's sorry about the breakup. :c :c feelings are rough. maybe they're friends?

laurel would be into the newsletter and simultaneously tease him about it/want to know what's uppp. i could see her wanting to help out with like ~INTERVIEWING PEOPLE~ slash fieldwork slash idek she's a weirdo. :u

Hahaha, sending Laurel out on assignment!! It'll be so exciting! He appreciates weirdness :D

Could totally be friends with Z! Ribbonfin + seniors = auto friendship, right? Ribbonfins are so adorable so obviously this is the case :D

OK NOW WE COME OVER HERE. HELLO AGAIN.

SO. Nate might know him some? They have a few classes together, including Animagus Studiessss SO, LIKE, THEY AT LEAST KNOW EACH OTHER. idk Nate is generally quiet and serious and spends a lot of time in the library, meaning i neglect him, whoops. :(

RILEY is still probably mostly irrelevant, GO AWAY RILEY, YOU CAN'T SIT WITH US.

ROSY is also a Ribbonfin, WHAT UP WHAT UP. as long as he can stand a little sass, she'll be friendly. she's not 100% a secret coppertale, SHE CAN ACTUALLY BE NICE.

ROBIN is crazy, BUT. robin's senior project is investigating the anonymous writer (and also possibly associated mysteries?), and asher's involves gathering information on the school and the mysteries and I FEEL LIKE THEY COULD CROSS PATHSIN THIS? i mean, he'll shoehorn in his theories about aliens, high level cover ups, and the apocalypse, but at the very least he's fun to talk to. i swear.

YAS HI <3

Asher is always down for some quiet social time if Nate wants some company <3

He's quite good at managing all sorts of sass and will return it in kind to a certain degree :D so it'll be great.

Totally down with Robin overlap mostly because Asher will be very gently patient about all of his crazy ideas and will just occasionally be like: hey yo let's use a little bit of critical thinking here! No? Ok! Carry on, you do you bro. So yessss, we should have some Robin and Asher research parties

ROUND TWO. So, I'll skip the basic character description stuff since that was covered last time, but here we go!

choneychurch is a fellow senior and a member of the choir, so he likely knows and likes Asher. He probably reads the school paper from back to front whenever it's published because he's a reader in general and because he's genuinely interested in the school and what's going on and understanding the perspectives of other people. He has a nice singing voice, but rarely sings in public outside of choir because he doesn't like to be the center of attention, but maybe Asher can convince him every now and again. I could see these two being friends, at least on a casual level?

casperkim has a plot bit with Asher that we've already discussed! Which I've updated in Casper's profile. As a result, Casper and Asher are unlikely friends and Asher is one of the few people that can easily get Casper to step back, shut up, or maybe even calm the fuck down. It's magic. Casper is also protective of Asher, so anyone that teases him about his newspaper or upsets him about his ex or anything like that may want to watch their back. He doesn't want Asher to graduate and may occasionally but angry/mopey/distraught about it. DON'T YOU COMFORT HIM, ASHER. He also has his first girlfriend-type-person this year in Katya Ivanova, so feel free to be obnoxious about it, good buddy. You're the only one who can without getting snarled at.

colemoss is a baby Ribbonfin and likely knows Asher from around camp. He is impressed with Asher's memory, nosy about his margin doodles (WHAT'CHA DRAWIN'?), and generally thinks he's nice, but that's about all unless you've got ideas!

tyhawkeswood is a fellow senior and fellow aspiring Animagus, but otherwise doesn't have a lot of overlap with Asher. Despite that, I could see these two getting along because of their easy personalities and maybe even being friends. Ty would love Asher's secret reserves of silly and would try to bring them out at every opportunity. GET EXCITED WITH HIM, ASHER. Also, he adores his music (which is a big deal), wants to be serenaded, and wants to see Asher's Mad Dance Skillz every day of his life, please. You should share the gif with the class. XD

I somehow missed this post LOL.

Cecil YOU ARE THE BEST SUPPORTER. Asher will of course greatly appreciate his readership. He'll definitely attempt to convince him to at least have little singing parties with him sometimes because Asher also doesn't like attention but hot damn does he love singing.

So pumped about Casper; it'll be SO SWEET and honestly Asher kind of needs someone like Casper to focus on and be a tiny bit sad around, though he'll make every effort to always appear calm! And fine! And totally not sad ever! He will totally ask him all sorts of questions about Katya. And maybe reveal his song choice for them :D

Yeah not sure about Cole, probably mild interactions but can't see any reason for them to really get involved unless he needs a big brother, but let's be real Ribbonfin is filled with those.

Aww yeah Ty! I'm sure they'll get along well, so we'll see how that pans out for suuuure! I imagine like you said the silliness will be a big draw - next party Ty will really get to see what Asher's made of! I will definitely share the gif with the class ;P after I find the perfect one from that video because THERE ARE SO MANY

So hi I'm Emma I have one of Asher's roommates!

rararasumssenJeremiah Rasmussen! He's extremely calm and has the attitude of pretty much everything is great. Ras is a spoiled rich kid that doesn't act like it or when he talks about money more assumes that everyone is like him though he doesn't rub it in anyone's face. He likes his boat and his plane named Alexandra and Celery respectfully and will try to get along with everyone. He's a giant, giant slacker so he's taking the smallest amount of classes possible.

I also have Trixie Armstrong

lfmkarapst a Coppertale Senior who spends her time basically being a mad scientist with devious plans to take over the world. She's hyperactive and just wants to be the evil villain in everything so I'm sure Asher would at least know of her, she's tiny with bright orange hair also she is drinking a smoothie 90% of the time. Also she's attached at the hip with Robin.

Katya Ivanova

catseyenebula is a junior Azurcrest prefect and fairly nice even if a tad introverted at this point. She likes space and is very Russian as in just came over from Russia a few years ago. There is a rumor that she's got ties to the mafia which is kinda true in a way. Don't know if they'll really cross paths but maybe!

and finally Ferris

tinyrebel even though she's Robin's cousin, she's a terrifying annoyance. She's the girl in the back of the class staring you down without saying a word, she hates everything and everyone. All Ferris wants to do is shoot things and play violin so I really doubt Asher will see much of her.

:D yeah roomies! Also full support of naming anything Celery. Asher will greatly appreciate his positivity (and accept his total slackerness as a personality quirk).

I think Asher will be a mix of fascinated and concerned about Trixie. He's so big on supporting people's dreams, but it's so hard to support evil villain aspirations!!

Because of some probably connections with Casper I've discussed with Katie I think I'll probs get some Katya time out of that, yes? :D And yeah probably no Ferris for him, though he'll probably find her interesting from anything he hears at least hahaha

Actually didn't notice Katie's post so yes, up there, Casper connections :D

I promise you'll only want to slap him a little. No need to be concerned about Trixie, she will be a good ruler when she takes power and has no interest in killing anyone just being a general ruler with awesome minions.

Oh yeah, you'll get Katya interaction out of connections with Casper, she's much more outgoing usually and happy than grumpy Casper. Good find Ferris interesting, she is angry and interesting.

Hiiii I forgot to respond to this oops :,(
STILL LYSS!

Leo's from across the river in NJ! They have slightly different paths; Leo's from a more working class family. But they're both seniors, and in Animagus Studies together. He'd think Asher's memory is amazing and want to bottle it. Otherwise, he'll be decent. You can't be hypercompetitive and rude at Ribbonfins

And Addy will be nice to him and/or gently terrorize him in one way or another I AM SURE

No crying!! I'm the weirdo who just slammed down two characters out of nowhere hahaha.

I just want all the Animagus kids to have cute animal snuggle parties when they can finally transform, ughhhh. Excited to play with Leo! And they can talk about the east coast!

Asher is pretty good at taking gentle terrorizing so hopefully that won't be an invitation to terrorize him more. Or at least, he'd hope so, I don't mind at all :D

Tabs is a house/yearmate, yay!

Joanna is halfblood and from NYC so she is probs familiar with his dad. Yay!

Yay! I'm excited! Also hilariously amused that she probably has seen his dad on TV, because for whatever reason that never occurred to me as a thing that could happen!

I often find out the bizarre. You're welcome!

Omg I suggested the school magazine/advice column and I am SO EXCITED IT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING. Etta could probably be persuaded to contribute if Asher (or anyone else?) asked her to do something specifically? She wrote a post about ~personal safety~ last month! (BTW, Etta says the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else, Asher...)

Pippa is in choir with Asher! She is on A MISSION to find a CUTE AMERICAN BOYFRIEND and has a tendency to get giggly and silly around cute boys, especially older boys.

And Coralee is probably Crystal Cosmetics #1 source of income, lmao.

WHAT how did I never respond to this?! I'm so sorry I am clearly ridiculous.

Anyways, obviously yes yes yes come contribute to the newsletter! That personal safety post is hilariously on point and definitely something he'd love in the newsletter. (Asher believes you Etta but TOO MANY FEELS)

Omg, I really want Pippa to be cute and giggly around Asher. He'll be really sweet to her and also awkwardly try to ward her off but he is unintentionally charming sooo not sure how well that will go. At the very least they'll get along.

Coralee girl just come on over he has a box of cosmetics under his bed.

No worries, it happens!

Haha well you're welcome to say he reprinted it if you like! Although since the KILLER OF LAKE GOOSEBERRY turned out to be Sy Stoker in a hockey mask, it's... perhaps a little less relevant now... (Although Etta says personal safety is ALWAYS RELEVANT.) (And DON'T FEEL, ASHER. JUST DO.)

Okay, this is definitely a thing that needs to happen! Pippa can be adorably confused and ask her friends, "But what you do think it means??? Do you think he likes me likes me???" after Asher does something completely innocuous like pick up her sheet music that she dropped.

Omg are you serious. It's not like Coralee can't afford to buy her own cosmetics, but... FREE STUFF. She's totally going to ask Asher if he can score her any ~new products~ before they hit the market.

<3

I might have to have it reprinted haha. Personal safety is TOTALLY IMPORTANT REGARDLESS.

Yes yes yes about Pippa, Asher will just be very: oh god crap how do I not do this *continues to be overly nice*

He'll tooootally share, especially new things. He and Coralee will proooobably some friction (he has a Muggle dad and had some issues with people being dicks about it), but he'll still be nice to her and he's happy to share the make-up that he super doesn't need that his mom keeps sending him.

Coralee is a PRO when it comes to using people, so she'd be wily enough to keep her opinions about Muggles to herself around Asher! NOW GIVE HER ALL THE MAKEUP PLZ

It's me, again, already
