Description
I did this a long time ago for the Confessions cast , so I figured I'd do one for the Reflections cast, especially since we see way more of the parents in this book. I think it's because I matured as a writer and suddenly the fact that most people have families seemed to click.Justin has his dad's last name, but he lived with his dad for about a year of his life, and then he went with his mother to LA, so he and his dad are not close in the slightest, at least until later in his life, when they reconnect and Justin decides he's not so bad, mostly cuz the dude's got horses. Justin's addictive personality comes from his dad, as his dad struggled with alcoholism for years.
Josh's parents are still happily married, cuz they're just fucking awesome people. Look at them. I just want to hug them both.
Duncan's parents are messed up, even if they don't look it. Duncan's older siblings turned out alright (even if they're assholes), but Duncan and Asel kind of got the bad end of the deal. Asel especially. His mother is Muslim and his dad Russian Orthodox. FUN FUN FUN.
Thad's parents were married but quickly divorced once his mother developed schizophrenia around the age of 20. Now Thad lives with his nana in LA (at least for most of the story) while his dad lives with his wife in Alabama. Thad's dad is very back country, as you can see.
I drew TJ's parents young, since TJ's dad dies when he's 13. They were a good lookin' couple though. And TJ's dad was a notoriously happy, smiley guy. JUST LIKE TJ
THE END.

1- I know that's pretty old, but I'm stuck somewhere, bored as fuck, and besides I love this.
2- Justin looks a lot like his dad. Much more than he looks like his mom. But that might be just my opinion. And damn TJ's parents are so adorable and heck they're just... I think I cried when I read it. And poor Thad.
3- I think I'm too much like Josh. I look overweight, my parents will accept me whatever (I can come to my mom and say "hey Mom I have a girlfriend" and she'd be like, "okay. Anything else?") and I try to be optimistic as for now. Usually I'm not.

Justin got his hair and his figure from his dad. His dad could probably eat a thousand burgers and still be rail thin, and Justin's about the same. Justin got his mouth from his momma though. And her tiny eyebrows. XD
It's best that you're like Josh instead of anyone else, cuz Josh has the best life out of anyone. Well, TJ's life isn't so bad, but his dad did die of cancer. So yeah, Josh is the luckiest, and despite his flaws, people still love 'im.

It's just that- Nevermind.
My life suck. According to 95% of my class I need a boyfriend, but my sort-of boyfriend is MIA for three years now. And I'm just not a normal person and most people hate me for my lack of judgement. I was considered autistic until a few months ago. So I'm like Josh but perhaps I'm way different than him.

I don't know how to put this without sounding like a condescending adult but . . . when I was 15, I posted a thing on a forum lamenting that I didn't have a boyfriend (this was back when the internet was new to me), and I got ripped to shreds by people on DA who were like "WTF you're 15". At the time I was super mad and devastated and them telling me that my age made my feelings negligible was kinda shitty, so basically the moral of the story is that I understand the pressure, even if I know that eventually (usually) people stop caring and let you be. But I'd tell your class to suck a million dicks. It's no one's business what you do, and I'm sure several of your classmates will be knocked up by the time they're 17 and then you'll get to feel superior to them.Ā
At least that's how I've always felt. XD I'm a pretty severe introvert, so dating and people in general have never been my strong suit. I spend my weekends cooking and hanging out with my bunny. So, you know, clearly I'm such a cool person who should be giving you advice on how to be cool. DX

It's not that easy. I had a Facebook-boyfriend once. He's MIA. Now I'm just that theater-kid who reads books no one knows (as if) and cried over a stupid standup where he called me and a classmate (she's not really a friend) stupid, which is dumb to say to blondes and an autistic. By the time they're 17 I'll just be 16 and still not ready for this. And I won't feel Superiour because 1, that's my xbox's name and 2, it's being in a relationship or not being ready for one until I'm thirty-something. That sucks. I want to be a mom.
And such a cool person you are XD

I would not be worrying about children or motherhood right now. You've got at least 20 more years left in you for that, at least. Plus I think people who get into relationships in their thirty-somethings are statistically much happier and able to form long-term commitments than people who are in their twenties or teens.
But I suppose I have no right to preach. I'm just saying that in high school I was like "I NEED A BOYFRIEND SO BAD" and now I'm like "fuck relationships", because I don't have the pressure from other people, and I realize now that it was only that pressure that made me feel like I needed to date. It may be different for other people (some people have this weird need to have a boyfriend all the time, and if they break up with one they're with another in two weeks) but high school can really twist a mind and make you think you want something that you really don't need. Plus I'm around married people all the time at work, and they're mostly miserable with their husbands/significant others, so it makes me happy I don't have to play "servant" for some manchild.
I AM SO COOL MAN. YOU CAN'T EVEN HANDLE IT.Ā

My mom had me at 23 and now she's 38 and has five children. She can't complain though. I'm probably going to have kids before I have a relationship. And I do have to worry about kids because that's planning ahead and I'm good at that.
You're my adoptive grandma. DON'T EVEN START.

Hey, if you can do the single mom thing, I say go for it (hopefully when you're at least in your twenties though. XD). My best friend wants kids but isn't really interested in being married. I think as long as you have family support (which it looks like you have), it's fine. I personally could never do it because I have a very low threshold for stress, but I think people should do what they think is best for them.Ā
YAY! I'M A GRANDMA! Youngest grandma ever.

I'm going to do it because I can and have to train my ADHD to execute orders. But yeah. I'm going to be a single mom once I'm out of college.
Technically Thad and Justin adopted me so you're my adoptive grandma. YAY FOR YOU!

Grandparents have it easy. They just gotta see their grandkids once every month, spend time with them until the grandkids stop being fun, and then ship them back home to their parents to deal with. If I could skip parenthood and go straight to grandparenthood, I'd be cool with that.

My grandma is a sort-of babysitter, because my aunt and her boyfriend are vets, so she might be the only one you can't say that about. And she's that grandma you wish she didn't have to die. My other one... Nah. As if.
Good luck to you.

for TJ's parents.Ā See, though, this is why he and Josh end up happy, cuz they're the only ones with good parents.Ā T_____T
Thad's dad looks like such a trucker.
I need to commission you or something to draw my characters' parents.Ā I cannot do that "family resemblance" thing to SAVE MAH LIFE.

This is true. Josh's family is very important to him, and that was what impressed Josh about TJ early on, that TJ had a great relationship with his brother and mother and grew up in a tight family unit. Unlike Justin, who hates his whole family. XD Well, Justin's okay with his sister and loves his mom, but he's not rearing to hang out with any of them, where as Justin loves Josh's family.
Thad's dad is your typical Alabama gun and football enthusiast who hates gays. He's never found out that Thad was dating Justin, cuz Thad said his dad would kill him. And that might be true. DX
I don't know. I can't even draw Erythor to your liking, let alone his parents. XD

Pretty sure EVERYONE loves Josh's family.Ā XD
Poor Thad.Ā
Pfft, no one can draw Erythor to my liking, not even me.Ā

THEY ARE PERFECT. THEY SHOULD BE ESSIE'S FAMILY, THAT'S HOW PERFECT THEY ARE.
And yet Thad somehow seems to be better adjusted and less emo than Justin. XDĀ
I can draw some evil ladies like whoa.Ā

I really like being able to see their parents... I'm afraid I kept imagining Justin's mother as blond.
Josh's parents are so awesome. It was great to see the red hair and green feather ear rings combo x3. And Josh's dad's goatee is fantastic (I really like how you've drawn him in general).
I'm really glad to see what Duncan and his parents look like. I always had trouble visualizing his hair. His parents are perfect, and look how I expected. (And make great rich snobby people!)
Thad looks like such an angel with that pose. xD
TJ's parents look so nice! I sort of forget their personalities (since I've only read Reflections), but that definitely reminded me.

Justin's mother was actually blonde in the first book, I believe, because she bleached it. So you're not crazy.
The men in Josh's family all have great facial hair. It why later on in life, Josh doesn't have much trouble growing a beard of his own. It's the Canadian in them, aha.
It's very hard to describe Duncan's hair in words. XD
Thad's picture comes from this picture where he is, of course, being super adorable and somewhat angelic. Who knows how he's capable of this, considering from the family he comes from. 0_o
I don't think TJ's mother showed up in Reflections, but while she's not super nice at first, she warms up to Josh eventually. ^_^

Aaaah. I love how you can see how all the features come together without one kid being the exact clone of a parent. I'll have to do this one day! XD. Josh's parents are so cuuuute. I just wanna hug them and dip em in my coffee! And TJ's mom is gorgeous!

Yeah, you should. It's super fun.
Both of TJ's parents are pretty damn good lookin'. XD WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU, TJ. lol, I kid.

Of course it's going to take a lot of research but that's the other fun part right? Dads are the best anyways, (Not that they're better than Moms, I don't have the time to start any controversies.... nope.)
Ffff, his cute ass. You better stop playing! XD

Whooooaaaa. Thad's dad looks exactly like him, but with a wicked sick mustache.
