Theresa Cassidy

Look, I actually have pages dedicated to working out upcoming plots and shit for Terry and Bellamy in my bullet journal. I'm excited and motivated again and PLEASE GIVE ME ALL THE THREADS.



Terry

I have so many ideas for Terry right now, lmao. She's going to have a lot of internal conflict going on, most of which revolves around her wanting to do something other than be a mom battling her paranoia of losing Sean for whatever reason.

The one thing I'll be doing with her immediately is finally having Sean's clone power manifest. I'm thinking Mad Sweeney's minor luck has kept him from hurting himself enough to make it happen, but now that his luck has turned, Sean's going to have a pretty big bump and manifest his first clone, which is going to send Terry into a panicked spiral. Because while she has all these ideas and expectations of how she'll react when it finally happens, all she'll want is to keep Sean safe. Which will probably bring her to wrestling with the idea of finding some way to make it so his power doesn't manifest at all (an idea she hates, but she hates Sean in pain even more, and his baby brain can't comprehend the trauma of reabsorbing his clone).

While that's the main plot Terry will be dealing with in the coming months, I do have some other stuff that she'll be thinking of/working on:

- She wants to do something with the school, but is at a loss. I think she'll toy with the idea of moving back into the city to be closer to everything, but then that'll bring up the trouble of needing a much higher income to support them.
- Which brings up the idea of job options and whatnot. Terry's going crazy with wanting something to do, and while she likes the idea of going back to being a private detective, the danger of it turns her away now. She needs something to do, though.
- I also want her to think about doing something with her education? I say she has a high school degree equivalent through Xavier's Academy in canon, but she doesn't have much else beyond that. Maybe a certificate program of some sort might work.
- She needs to let loose with her powers for a day or something. She rarely uses them around Sean and is antsy.
- aLSO she needs someone to flirt with, she hasn't dated anyone for years.



Bellamy

Lots of little things are happening with Bellamy right now, mostly stuff he's reacting to. He's really happy having Octavia around, and life with Clarke is good, they're adopting a cat and it's making him think about babies, it's all good.

Perfect time to blow some shit up, metaphorically speaking!

The main thing I want to do with Bellamy in the next few months is a canon update, which I have to think through really carefully since I want to update him to the end of s4 and that will affect his relationships with everyone. He's going to think Clarke is dead, he's going to have lived through Octavia hating him and thinking she died, he's going to know he might as well have shot Lincoln himself. Fun times!

I'm not going to do this for a little while, since I want to work on expanding his friend circle and building up his existing relationships. I also want to get him started at the community college, and getting a job as a security guard somewhere to pay for it. (Do non-Darrow people count as out-of-state tuition? hmmmm)

Before all of that, I do want to age switch him though I'm torn between super young Bellamy (probably when Octavia was a year or so), or janitor Bellamy who just got his mom spaced and his sister sent to jail. Choices~

In my attempt to start fresh and get back into the game, I figured doing some sort of call for threads/ideas/plots/etc would probably help. I've been thinking about different things I want my pair to be doing, and just thinking about it made me excited and made me realize how much I've missed actually playing. SO. Threads?



TERRY: I want to focus on shoring up her relationships and starting to expand her circle. She has a really great solid circle of friends she loves, but could use some more and different types of friends. Especially parent friends! She's found her feet with regards to Sean, but still worries about being a good mother on a near daily basis, and also worries about how much she's missing being a hero and doing Good Things. And using her powers, she's terrified of doing so around Sean and very rarely uses them anymore. I think I'll have an EP for her up very soon (probably tonight?) exploring that.

Threads wanted: Raven/Luke/other fam. Cindy for girlfriend hangouts? T.J. because it's been a while and I haven't been around since Thomas was dropped. Peter for reasons already talked about. Heroes!

BELLAMY: I'm going to focus a LOT on getting Bellamy out more and tagging new people to try to make some new relationships. He loves his core group from home and the few close friends he has in Darrow, but he really needs more...everything. He coasts along and is way too happy so I gotta do something to fix that. >_> I'm thinking of an item and even, POSSIBLY, a canon update depending on how soon I continue watching s4 and how the writing treats him. I know I've said this a billion times, but s3 was a hot goddamn mess and as much as I want to canon update him, it would be tougher than usual to deal with.

I'm also thinking of having him finally figure out what he wants to do with his life in Darrow. I figure he's living just fine on the monthly stipend they get (and probably Clarke's income >_>) but he needs something concrete and something for himself. I'll probably have him start looking into going to school, but I've gotta research Ark schooling. They had it, but would anyone even accept whatever their equivalent of high school was? Will he have to get his GED in Darrow? So many thoughts.

Threads wanted: Any excuse to meet new folk! Grounder fam, Wig Party 2017!

Me: Stuck in this awful place between finishing school and not having a degree yet and looking for work but not finding anything, it's great TOTALLY GREAT

I'm forcing myself into being productive and human every day, part of which will be getting back into tagging, because I always forget how much I enjoy it when a week has gone by and I haven't done anything. So, yes, hit me with any ideas, I'm up for anything and determined to jump start my ass and get this year going well.

Threads: I'm open for anything, and could use threads for January reqs! Whether private threads or tagging into EPs, just let me know. I'm considering doing EPs for both Terry and Bellamy, if only I could come up with decent ideas for them.



Terry: Her life is entirely revolving around baby Sean now, though I try to get her out there and threading in ways that isn't entirely about him. Trying to balance it all is interesting. I'm totally excited for when Sean gets older and will begin to crawl and walk, so I can start playing out his mutant background. 8D

She has a really good support network, which is making the transition easier, though I'd like to do more with her soon. Terry is absolutely content to just be Sean's mother, but her money is running out and she needs to do something to bring income in, especially as Sean grows older. I'll have to have a good think on what that might mean, because she's so reluctant to take up heroing again, despite how much she loves it and how much of her identity depends on it. She can't imagine doing something that would take her away from Sean, or vice versa, and it's forcing her to reconsider everything.



for the love of god someone app octavia ;_;

Bellamy: Is still reeling a bit from having Lincoln around. He's happy that he's safe and alive in Darrow, but not happy about what he's heard from him about how things were going back on the Ground and the fact that he can't do shit about it. And he's dealing with some complex feelings about Octavia not being around, most of which revolve around feeling guilty for being happy when he has no guarantee that Octavia is.

He's doing his best to deal with his feelings, but I'm sure Clarke, Raven, and Lincoln know Bellamy well enough by now to know he hasn't been doing too well.

Lincoln's item post plot will be terrible. >:D

I half considered a canon update once I finished s3, but I'm not so sure. I really disliked where the season took every single character, and I'm not so sure I could play a Bellamy who has had such a huge, non-fixable break from Octavia. That's the type of shit he can't come back from. So it'd be nice to deal with a lot of those complex issues, but...not the way canon made them happen.

He's so happy with Clarke, despite his own turmoil. And I totally want him to baby sit kids whenever I have the reason to make it happen, because he has to have some incredible fucking parenting skills from having helped raise Octavia in secret for 16 years.

Me: Hahahahaha. The school year is done next week. My crazy fucking schedule is done. I'm so tired, physically and mentally. I have a couple weeks off, then I have a summer session 1 class, which is class 2 days a week for 5 weeks, AND THEN I'M STUDYING ABROAD IN GREECE FOR A MONTH???? It's still unbelievable. But I bring it up, because it's the reason I took Steve Rogers off reserve yet again, I am the worst. I couldn't in good conscience try to make reqs and app him in July just to disappear for a month, especially with some Marvel cast coming in. So, I'm going to focus on him again when I'm back.

(That said, if someone else wants to app him, please go for it. Seriously. This always goes for any pup I don't officially have on reserve, I lay no claim to them.)

On to the two I have left. Now that I have free time again, I'm looking forward to deepening some relationships and creating new ones, if anyone's open to it!

Terry: Goddamn, she's had a lot going on for how little I've been playing. KIRIN was the biggest thing for her, leading her to feel insecure in just about everything and officially moving out of her apartment and into the Darrow School For the Gifted. She'll probably find a new place soon, but she feels safe there. She's also been a part of Raven's plots, which has deepened their relationship and now they're like...friends? ACTUAL FRIENDS. Terry is just 1000% concerned with Raven's ongoing trouble in dealing with herself as a mutant (and letting other people know), and she sees her as almost completely different from 616 Mystique now.

I have a really big possible game-changing plot for her that I've been sitting on for a while now, but I might go ahead with it now that things are a bit quieter for her and I have more time.

Bellamy: HE HAS A RAVEN NOW, TOO. He is SO excited to have Raven in the city, especially because he's been so homesick and she's one of his favorite people. (He tries to forget that they once slept together and hopes Clarke never brings it up.) Bellamy's really just happy between being with Clarke and having Raven to pester with friendship on a daily basis. He needs something to shake him up soon, I think, but mostly he needs to expand his circle of friends. I'm going to focus on getting Bellamy out there over the next couple of months.

(Fingers crossed the rest of season 3 doesn't infuriate me as much 3x01 - 3x06 did. #NOTMYBELLAMY)

Future: Steve Rogers. One girl I've been itching to play that I'm sure nobody knows about. Billy Kaplan, if I ever care to catch up on comics and there was ever a chance he'd get a Teddy.
