i'm actually very proud of him lol"

i love him omg hes so... perfectoooo"

awww you are too kind

diana; aighttt lmao i actually kinda think that they were both just too damn selfish and careless for their own good and they were both young and inexperienced and the absolute worst at being considerate and they realized at some point that their relationship was exactly the same when they were dating vs when they were just friends so maybe now they just have a friends with benefits thing instead of a committed relationship?

aroth; listening to some music and unplugging could help? but that's totally fine there's no need to rush it and writer's block sucks, i'm so sorry. ahahaha i'm not too fond of the book or the movie but i guess i can see it. awwww i'm so sorry i getchu i've had bad writer's block for the past week or so and it's finally starting to thaw up again I say they split it 50/50. for some jobs it's 60% val and 40% him, other's it's the other way around, and once in a while val does go out and do a solo job just for the hell of it, but they're sorta a package deal, even if neither team can admit it. I love it <33

Wild-haired and wide-eyed, Ollie hums with quiet, but perpetual energy, constantly in motion. While his eyes radiate with warmth, there is nothing soft or fuzzy about them. They are sharp and vibrant in their own manner, always gleaming with an emotion which lies somewhere in between happiness and nostalgia, eyes which know that they are hated by the world but have learned not to care so much that it drives them into the dust. His frame is slight, but don't be fooled: the boy may never be the winner in a boxing match, but he sure can run like hell.

Oliver Wei would like to remind you that he can protect himself just fine, thank you very much. Despite the fact that the sight of Ollie brings out an urge to coo, or ruffle his hair, or, if you're one of those types, both, he is neither as delicate nor as innocent as he may look.

Far from it. Oliver is a red, and while he may live the majority of his day in the glamour of silvers, while he is surrounded by beautiful things and creates beautiful things, his life is one that has endured because of the sacrifice and misery of others, and he isn't keen on forgetting it. His bedridden father, his arthritic mother, his older sister off at war and his younger brother tending the shop━ their lives are the cornerstone of his every dream, his every step, his every stitch. When his vision blurs and his fingers shake and his breath catches, refusing to let go, the ugliness of the life he lives is what keeps him going.

Because Ollie is going to get out. Goddammit, he's going to pull himself out of poverty and his sister out of the war and his father out of bed and his mother from her chair and his little brother won't have to do this, he won't have to break his back or his fingers or his anything just so they won't all starve to death. Why does Ollie appreciate beauty? Why does he cling to it? Because he knows the ugly. He knows the cracked and the wretched and the forsaken━ and gods be damned, if he doesn't get out now, that'll be him one day, fighting just to breathe, just to exist.

Oliver Wei has never been one to sugarcoat things He is startlingly authentic especially when it's brutal. Lies won't be able to save him, but the truth just might━ if he finds it in time.

Ollie's story is not uncommon. By the time Ollie was born, his father was already a broken man. The war had already stolen his right leg, three of his fingers, and part of his sanity. The neighbors had already doled out their pity, leaving Julia Wei the sole provider of the household. Gone from dawn till dusk, she would go to work before her children woke up and come back as they were getting ready for bed. When Carson came, she started coming home long after they had fallen asleep.

They survived, just barely, as most reds are apt to do. When Allison became old enough to tag along with her mother, they scraped enough money to get a permanent booth at the markets. And when Oliver and Carson insisted on coming along too, Oliver caught his first glimpse of silk, leaving the family to scrape again, this time, for a needle and some thread.

The day Ollie learned to sew was the day things began to change. The boy who had driven teachers to tears with his inability to stay still finally found something to capture his attention long enough to not only learn, but to master. As the embroideries became more elaborate and the cloths more elegent, the customers became more frequent and for the first time in a long time, the Weis were comfortable.

Seventeen days after Ollie turned fifteen his sister left for the war. Moments before she left, she pressed a small tin rattling with coins to Ollie's chest, not as a gift, but as a plea. Not Carson.

Three days later, Ollie started working at the palace. Before, Oliver was driven by his own talent. Now, he is driven by something greater, not a want, but a need. In his sixteen years, few good things have come Oliver Wei's way (pun not intended). But if things go according to Ollie's plan, perhaps that can change. If there isn't a path to success, Ollie is determined to sew one into existence. After all, what does he have to lose?

aroth; ahhh imma get started on val as well and she'd just roll her eyes and be like, "oh, then by all means, please do" and then looking down at his hand on her wrist, giving this deceptively sweet smile and saying "you ever planning on letting go?" ahhh i love harvey the eye candy is real and he definitely has that edge to him. this is going to be great

I feel, man. I feel. i hope that you were talking to me lmao

fie; i'm using vladimir averyanov as my fc, if that helps any?
sooooo... any ideas?

aroth; ahh i love this yess i love both the save rock and roll and the american psycho album so much yesss ooh that could be fun... ahhh i'm always down for sexual tension and she would definitely slap him like "just because i can't read your mind doesn't mean i don't notice your boner" yesss this is good... also, have you decided on a fc?

fie; well first of all i think we both have sons of house arven so we could do something there but also... i'm feeling some black market shit cos smuggling's where it's at yo actually idk i just wanted to collab with you

jac; ahhhhhhh omgggg i'm swooning thinking of all the careful touches as he guides her fingers and helps her put the needle the through the cloth and him tripping over his own feet but then getting the hang of it and twirling around the ballroom floor laughing and doing cartwheels and so many warm and fuzzy moments gwahhh this is going to be so great

aroth; ooooh they both sound really great lol i love novacaine val (alexandra's chara) was partly inspired by me listening to uma thurman/rat a tat as i brainstormed but i relaly like the idea of val having a puppet. she's capable enough to leave him out of the dirty work, i think, but she definitely doesn't like meeting her clients face to face so he handles all of that? maybe he has a kinda con-man thing going on? he's really good at negotiating so they get the largest sum of money possible for every single job that they take on and although he may have started as a puppet, they've become more like partners as time has gone on although she'll never admit it? Also, he could maybe be a silencer to balance out her whispering so she can't read his mind but also he silences others' powers before she swoops in for the final kill and ahhh so much criminal masterminding + teamwork. perhaps?

yessss i like this and lmao totally omg they'd be such a terrible couple think of how much hell broke loose during that brief, unspeakable time period where they not only fucked with other people (metaphorically), but with each other (literally)

ahhhhhh think of all the discreet touches and glances they share throughout the day and him bribing one of the palace maids to give her a dress he hand-embroidered and running away and neither of them wanting to own up to their feelings and pining from a distance

jac; ahhhh that actually sounds perfect oooh yes and he'll be so shy at first and it'll be the type of thing where she's like "it's okay no one will notice you if i'm here" and he shakes his head vehemently in disapproval but follows her anyway

also if you're on tumblr desktop you can drag and move images around and that's probably a lot easier than trying to code? remember to change the configuration of the post to html before doing any of that or the code is going to pop up in the final post and np
