The Sophomore - Blog Posts

Sorry for the long post! (And low quality pics? Why tumblr?)

Easy answer for number one. The freshman, book two, chapter one is one of a my absolute favourites. It has specifically two scenes with Kaitlyn and Emily that I have always enjoyed. The first being Kaitlyn meeting the mom and their walk back to the dorm and the diamond scene at the winter festival.

What I love about them are that they are simple innocent moments in their relationship. Not a care in the world. They are just enjoying their time with each other. From kaitlyn running up and twirling Emily in the air to their silly snowball fight and kissing in the snow.

They are the moments that we do not get to see anymore. They still happen of course, but we have come to to a point in the narrative where it is simply commonplace and therefore unnecessary to keep mentioning. If anything it would become stale and too repetitive to the reader.

Anyway, the scenes are a little bit of fluff that you can go read in the first chaoter that personally warms my heart and influences my fanfics of the two. They are a raw look into how the two act.

FINAL DAY: QoTD

1.) What’s your favorite Kaitlyn chapter/scene?

2.) 3 things you love about kaitlyn and why?

I just do not see how it would be possible at all. The storytelling is too dependent on the LI's problems. They would have to kill off every LI because otherwise they would have to write five seperate parts to avoid huge weird gaps. And you know that will never happen.

Okay like I know none of the LIs are dead in TF/TS cuz like that’s so cruel but at the same time I can totally see PB being THAT extra and that petty like “oh y’all don’t like TF/TS? Fine then what if we KILL OFF YOUR LI!!!”

Wait, hold on. Okay, I can understand if Hero is a made up thing in this universe, but that would mean Endless Summer is as well, right? Which means the Endless Summer gang doesn't go to the same Hartfeld as they do. Which means all secret hopes of Zach having a crush on his upper-classman Diego could never happen. Yo.

bitch don’t we all

*beep beep beep*

Kaitlyn groans face first into her pillow as she blindly seeks out her ringing phone. After a few seconds of searching she finds it on the nightstand and turns off the alarm.

As she lies there, she can’t help but wonder why she tortures herself like this. Why she insists on waking up at this ungodly hour on the regular when she could be fast asleep. Fast asleep and having wonderful dreams.

Kaitlyn groans again. She rolls over and throws the blankets off herself, the cool morning air an unwelcome wake-up call. She gets herself up out of the bed taking a moment to stretch and yawn and then grabs the black shirt hanging on the back of the chair in her room.

After throwing on the shirt she makes her why out of her room and heads to the bathroom. Once done, Kaitlyn cautiously makes her way down the stairs with the sporadic yawn on the way. She enters the hall to come to the door to MC’s room.

She gently knocks on the door and slowly opens it. She peers in with sleepy eyes to find a sleeping MC. Quietly shutting the door behind her, kaitlyn walks up to the bed and proceeds to crawl onto it and over her sleeping beauty.

The previously sleeping MC stirs from the sudden movement on the bed. “You’re late, Liao.” She groggily says. MC slowly opens her eyes to see kaitlyn’s bright smile.

“Shush you, I had to make a pit stop.” Kaitlyn says.

“For coffee I hope?” MC asks. Kaitlyn’s hair, face, and eyes beautifully light up in the morning light now creeping itself in through the window.

“No coffee. But I can give you some sugar.” Kaitlyn flashes a mischievous smile and instantly begins showering MC’s face with kisses.

“Ahh!” MC squirms and giggles from the affection. Satisified, Kaitlyn stops and crawls under the covers next to MC.

They both settle into the comfort of the bed and the warmth of the rising sun. Kaitlyn snuggles up against MC wrapping her arms around her, letting herself fall into this blissful moment.

It is then that Kaitlyn is reminded why she wakes up so early on the regular. And she will continue to do so for nothing could convince her to do otherwise.

I was inspired by this great piece of art and headcannon to write this little thing. I hope it was okay for me to write it. I have always enjoyed your art. Thank you so much for sharing it! 😄

Headcanon: Even tho Kaitlyn is not a morning person, she wakes up an hour earlier than she has to so she can go cuddle with her girlfriend <3 (when they don’t sleep together of course)
