another year gone by // HAPPY BDAY BLAKE, open

[blake k.]

// set on July 26th, a retro celebration

She was never one to celebrate her birthday, hell, she didn't even tell people her birthday. But she had made the mistake of telling her two year olds when she was trying to get them to listen to her, asking that since it was her birthday if they'd let her get them dressed. At least it worked. It was later in the evening, Keiron and Louis had been put to bed and it was down time for the older two, who were coloring the best they could while Blake relaxed on the couch nearby.

Lottie would go over to her mom, brother following close behind as the two laid their art pieces on her lap which she smiled for "These are beautiful, you two" she praised before getting a rather loud "Happy Birthday Mommy!" from Charlotte and though she really did hate celebrating, she couldn't help but to smile. She set the art pieces to the side and pulled the two onto her lap, kissing both their heads and hugging them. They were used to parties on birthdays and obviously there hadn't been one today, but nevertheless she was still glad they didn't ask her why.

"Thank you, kiddo"

Already choking on my pride, so there's no use crying about it — personality
— I like to think Blake is a good example of the whole "strong, independent woman" thing even if she doesn't identify as a woman. She has a short temper and what I gently put as homicidal tendencies. She will gladly fight someone, regardless if they're bigger than her or not. However, she's also rather maternal and is more likely to protect a child than anything. Her maternal side has massively shown itself since the twins were born, though that leaves her more violent side to be overlooked or forgotten.

[freddie]

— it was hard to ignore the loud chime of lottie exclaiming happy birthday to her mom. and at the mention of a birthday, fred was quick to poke his head into the room. he didn’t know particularly what he had expected; perhaps a little small party already going on. though, at the sight, he seemed to almost visibly deflate.

“it’s your birthday and you’re spending your evening like-” he wagged his finger towards the two children and their artwork. “this?” fred couldn’t understand. when it had been his birthday, he had to make sure almost the entire world knew about it. perhaps it was because people didn’t thrive on attention nearly as much as he did, sure, but it was still a birthday. didn’t that call for a celebration?

shaking his head, he found an open chair in the room before plopping down onto it, murmuring, “you have to have fun every once in a while, you know.” any excuse for fred to get shitfaced, at least.

Blake looked over when attention started getting caught by her daughter wishing her a happy birthday. Of course, she shouldn't be surprised, but she was very much regretting using it as a bargaining chip. When Freddie spoke to her, Blake simply shrugged as she hugged the two toddlers to her "I don't celebrate my birthday, don't think Eddie even knows it. The only reason these two know is because I used it to get something done quicker this morning"

She was one to celebrate, to party, and she knew damn well there was more to life than just kids. That she needed to "have fun sometimes" but she also knew her kids came first. But as she said, she didn't celebrate her birthday. "Would it make you feel better if I sent them to bed and drank or something?" she asked with an amused laugh knowing it was close enough to their bedtime that there wouldn't be much of an issue if she asked an NPC to take the twins to bed.
