KOTLC Favorite ice creams flavors!
Sophie-Rocky Road, I feel like Sophie was a sucker for chocolate and Rocky Road gives me Mallowmelt vibes, with it having marshmellows.
Fitz-Mint Chip, I think he'd like the fresh minty flavor and would hunt for the choclate chips like pirates digging for treasure with Biana (and Alvar before shit went down)
Keefe- Cookie's n Cream, seems like a guy with a huge sweet tooth
Biana- Green Tea, I feel like she'd want a nice calm earthy flavor to soothe her after all the shit going on
Tam- Chocolate, I feel like he'd have a basic ice cream flavor since it doesn't really matter that much too him.
Linh - Salted Caramel, especially sea salt, This girl also has a massive sweet tooth and indulges on any sweet food since that was her and Tam had least access to in Exilllium.
Marella- Mango Sorbet/Ice cream I feel like she'd like Sorbet more honestly but for the sake of the title, Ice cream. Its fruity, tropical and sunny, all stuff Marella would seem into (I was tempted to put Vanilla Ice cream for her but decided thats too basic for her.)
Maruca- Butter Pecan, she seems like a girl who'd like nuts (Pun unintended) Especially Pecans. I also imagine her family served something like Pecan Pie at holidays and had a secret family recipe of theirs.
Mr. Forkle...-dirt
Umber- Toffee, likes sweet syrupy tastes like Toffee,. No need for spoons since she has shadowflux! She also likes to let it melt a little so she can drink it like a soup.
Trix- Pumpkin pie, Im getting lazy atp so yeah. (wrote this after the rest of them but wanted umber and trix to be next to eachother)
Fintan- Vanilla, if his fossilized ass is even aware of icecream, this dude is every bit basic and if he does know about icecream, he probably has nostalgia of collecting snow and shredding fruits on it from the 3rd century
Gisela- Coffee, she wouldn't have much of a sweet tooth in my mind honestly
Alvar- Pistachio, preferably with chocolate chips. Much like Fitz...Erm he judges people and shops on how good their Pistachio Ice cream is since he a connoisseur on this flavor. Will down a whole tub of this actually.
Ruy- Strawberry, he's not much into icecream so anything will do but he does a small preference for Strawberry since its nice and refreshing adn he likes fruits with a tang.
(This hurt my fingers)
I've associated Runner Up by Bailey Spinn a Marella song since it came out. Up until she became besties with Linh that was kinda her life
Trigger Warning: This contains self harm, fear of abuse, and thoughts of suicide
This is Marella. I thought of it because of the song "My R" and I do ship Darella and also that "boys don't look at me" I got from a tiktok pov from a while ago. And Sirri is one of Stina's henchmen. But I found this in my notes and thought I would share because why not. Please tell me what you think:
She was standing on the roof, bent down in a squat so that her bottom almost touched the tiles. Her arms were wrapped around her, tight and secure, but the tears wouldn't flow. What if she jumped off right now? What if she finally did it this time?
The next day came and she didn't, in fact, jump off. Instead, she went to sleep and woke up with her usual spunk. She got dressed, packed her stuff, and headed out the door to lightleap to school. Foxfire. It was the most prestigious school in the Lost Cities and somehow she got in. Even though she passed the entry exam like everyone else, it was hard to feel like it was because of her own skill. Maybe they were distracted. Maybe they pitied her because of her family situation. She almost pitied herself. One moment her mom was happy and supportive, aware of her surroundings and joyful. The next moment she was breaking down, slamming doors, breaking things, screaming. There were a few times Marella was scared her mother would hit her, but she never did.
Upon arriving at school, she found Stina and Maruca waiting for her in the front hall so they could go to attendance. They walked side by side. Marella wasn't in the back but she sure wasn't talking as much as they were and they didn't seem to care. Stina turned and asked her something, and she confidently said her two sense. They'd expect her to be confident and comfortable in her skin, but the burns on her back and legs didn't show under her uniform. It was like this every day. They'd meet her, they'd talk her ear off, she'd end up feeling worthless by lunch. Sirri would continue to interrogate her about boys, but all Marella could do was avoid looking at Dex from across the cafeteria. She simply said, "Boys don't pay attention to me," and let the next person speak.
The times she felt the worst was her practices with Fintan. He knew how to make her hate her body, her friends, and her own family. He also taught her how to use her pyrokinesis, the terrible ability she'd been given. She just wanted to be an empath. She just wanted to help her mom. So again, she'd go home and sit up on the roof, pondering. Why couldn't Dex even turn her way? Why couldn't she have gotten a nice ability? When would she be worth calling for help against the Neverseen? When would her mother finally realize she hated her and give her that heavy slap that Marella always prepared for? Would Stina realize she liked her other friends more than she liked her? Like Sophie did. She was just waiting for the wave to come crashing in, and for the tenuous kind-of peace she knew to finally break completely.
Maybe she should've jumped off that roof right then, to avoid her inevitable downfall. Then she wouldn't be able to hurt anyone else with her ability or her presence. She remembered how she accidentally burned off some of Princess Purryfins' whiskers, and Linh simply laughed it off and put her back in the water, but she couldn't have forgiven her. She almost hurt someone dear to her friend. She deserved to have it all end. The night that happened she went to her room and burned her own cheek as punishment; but she told her father it was an accident.
