[Azurfects (Jesse, Katya, & Ree)]

Who's going tomorrow night? I just want to know who's where in case we need someone.

[Those Other Guys (Jesse, Tess, & Chris)]

Guess who's coming to dinner!


[Leo]

Fiori,

This super-secret ward contains unsolicited relationship advice. Yes, I know: who wants that? And from their boyfriend's ex? No one. Buuut I care too much about both of you to let you go into the Parent-Teacher Conference blind. I might be over-stepping the boundaries of our friendship by telling you certain things; even so, I hope this can help you out somehow.

And yes, perhaps this is a little overdramatic. Let me have my moment, Leo.

♥ Q.

P.S. I don't actually care if Raf knows about this or not, but he may not approve of everything I wrote, so keep that in mind.

P.P.S. You may not end up needing this. If that's the case, congratulations: you're the single most exceptional human being on the face of the planet.


The Hoi Polloi's Guide to Ricardo Ramirez

The two most important things to remember about Ricardo Ramirez in an encounter with the man, the myth, the legend are:

(1) Rafael's wellbeing is of the utmost importance to Ricardo. However, 'Rafael's wellbeing' tends to be interpreted differently between Ricardo Ramirez and the rest of the world (Rafael included). Rafael's friends are rarely extraordinary enough, Rafael's own ideas of how his life may go are rarely aligning with Ricardo's Perfect Plan, and anyone who seems like they may have the potential to influence either of those categories (yes, that could be you!) is a threat to Rafael's so-called wellbeing.

(2) You have feelings but he only cares about them if he finds them to be of use. The long-term consequences of such treatment doesn't occur to Ricardo, nor does whether or not any 'suggestions' may be inappropriate or offensive. Don't take anything he says to heart. Just don't.


Translating 'Ricardo' into 'Reasonable'

Ricardo: "[Petty criticism]. What do you think, [innocent bystander]?"
Translation: "As I believeโ€”nay, know unwaveringlyโ€”that I am right, I will include this clueless bumpkin in the conversation, causing them to feel so awkward and confused that they will agree with me, thus declaring my opinion factual knowledge about your relationship to be indisputable."

Ricardo: "Take for example my relationship with my fiancรฉe Cristiane, my love, my heart..."
Translation: "Have I dominated the conversation recently with topics related to my countless successes? No? Okay, here is one. And in the process, perhaps I will successfully belittle the values you hold most dear! My, what fun we are having!"

Ricardo: "[Bullshit bullshit bullshit] Quinn [bullshit bullshit bullshit]."
Translation: "Why has no one threatened to fight me yet so that I may refuse, thereby displaying how I am the Better Person for all to see? I suppose I may now be desperate enough to scrape the bottom of the barrel..."

Ricardo: "[Literally anything.]"
Translation: "Hello. I am right even when I am wrong, and you are always an imbecile. I would like the conversation to come back to me, please. Me. Hello. Here I am. Hello. Hello? Hello?"


Supplementary Material





(OOC: okay, yes, that Ricardo drawing is FAR ABOVE Quinn's murdered stick-figure ability. Just squint and imagine it's way shittier, and that she actually drew a blob with eyes or something. I wanted to leave it in bc I THINK IT'S CUTE.)

There's still got 48 hours to drop out, and counting. Are you worried about your family visiting?

Exactly! And you're going to be an Auror. There are probably way worse things than him out there, I'm almost sure of it.

That part was a daily struggle. I should have warned you that it's more like a blessing and a curse.

Not even I want to put the work into transferring for what, five months. And no. Not really. It'll just be my dad, my mom had to work, anyway. It'll be weird for worlds to collide. But that's probably true for everyone. Your parents are coming too?

Bet he hasn't even murdered anyone, no big deal.

I can see why. It'd be so easy. I'll stow this way back in case of emergencies. His name can't be Prickardo yet, when I officially introduce myself.
Which I guess I should probably do, even though he's a year older and went to the same school as me. I don't know. I want to at least try to make a decent impression.

It's going to be a weekend in a Twilight Zone episode, and then we'll be back in the other Twilight Zone episode that is daily life at Gooseberry High. And yeah, they're over the moon. It's going to be weird and mostly embarrassing.

That we know of.

You'll be great, Leo. Promise. You're smart, mature, athletic, attractive, and have a questionable sense of humour. What's not to love? ♥

Fun overlap, though. Now we get to be stalked by ghosts and our parents.

Assuming you don't want an actual list. (It'd start with "always in library" I think.)
You're right. It'll be ok.

Ooh, a crossover episode!

Leo. "Always in the library" is a positive trait, not a negative one. [...] Although you're probably right about one thing. I'm adding "be present but not everywhere, and be attentive but not clingy" to the list from earlier.

Those are either the best or the worst; we have a lot to look forward to.

And the tightrope is now also razorwire.
I can't change what I'm doing now too much either, not just for him.

Despite all the warnings I've been giving you, never, ever think that you need to change anything about yourself for Ricardo Ramirez. He's just a douchebag with a God complex and he wouldn't be worthy your time in a million years if Raf didn't have the misfortune of being his brother.

No, I won't. I don't think I'd know how. So. Guess he'll have to deal with that.
(I won't say that to his face, it's fine.)
