aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa i'll fix this up later probably maybe who knows

ok so i have three four concepts that have meat under their bones. these are rough rough drafts so if things change later on, don't be too surprised.

yes i copy pasted these from the concepts thread don't judge me

also fair note i'm fairly low-energy so i'll probably be slow at replying to these gomenapologies

june madison:
- your typical dean's lister on the surface
- has good grades, wants to get into a Good College
- likes cooking chinese and american food
- centrist, probably biden democrat kind of person
- likes listening to bossa nova music because it brings her to her happy place
- also has severe anger issues that are unknown to everyone except her family and closest friends. she's been working very hard to keep it under control, goes to therapy for it, she's terrified that if she has an outburst it'll ruin her chances at a good life. she's lost a few friends due to some of these outbursts
- she really likes cooking, might be what she studies for in college
- in terms of relationships with frends aside from the s i n k i d s, she's probably personable in general. she likes being liked, and is mostly good at keeping her temper under control, so she's friendly in general. probably closest with fellow high-achievers.
- in terms of enemies, just, like, general shit-stirrers. she'll make a point to avoid these people because they raise her blood pressure, she won't actively fight them i think??? not entirely sure here so if you want to propose something here i'm all ears
- straight. maybe a few boyfriends, casual, hasn't really gotten much more serious than that. most she's ever done is kissed, if that, even
[+] relationships ig
jayson sabangan:
- pinoy squad!!!
- laidback, chill, likes putting his head down for the most part
- loves drawing, cartoon-ish style, gets flooded with art requests by his friends
- recently moved to the philippines around 8th grade or so, misses home, feels a constant sense of disconnection and not belonging, even among the friends he currently has
- autistic
- friends are probably fellow art friends and stuff
- he regrets to inform you that he is in fact part of the basketball team, his father made him go there so he could be in a sportsball team, but he's short and chonky and clumsy so he's really not a good fit. he hates going there every single day, it is humiliating, but such is life.
- pansexual but more attracted to boys than girls, closer to aromantic than not, not really strongly involved in romance either way (but am willing to hear ideas suggesting otherwise). mostly looks on at crushes and does nothing because he's pretty sure he'll fuck it up somehow because of how socially awkward he is
[+] moar relationships
nyah ellwood:
- NI-ah not NYAH
- born in kenya
- adopted by a white couple when she was a toddler, too young to remember where she came from or who her birth parents were
- you're the best! around! nothing's gonna ever keep you down! one of the top players of a flash game called transformice, is actually Very dedicated to the smol online community there
- kinda terrified of what's to come because transformice is based on adobe flash which is shutting down by the end of 2020. the community in the game is slowly dying, shrinking, she's basically ageing out because the game's mostly aimed for people Younger than her
- is currently looking for another game/community to join/get good at, but has had no success so far
- is kind of a loner irl with unremarkable grades because she structured her life around her online friends
- doesn't really have any other hobbies
- if she has friends it's probably among the gaming group but it's more talking about games than playing games because her laptop is a brick that can't handle super complex games
- actually she probably dabbles with both the anti sotf and the tankie group so if your kids are in those groups/affiliated with them hit me up. basically ends up in them because she needs to find a group of friends somehow right? starts with anti sotf group, drifts away from them but hangs around for Reasons, gravitates more towards tankie group now
- has conservative missionary parents so she probably doesn't bring up her politics around them because it's pretty clear their views are different from hers and she doesnt like fighting. she keeps quiet about her views in general because she's never sure if she's researched them enough, if she knows enough
[+] moar
saim bonilla:
- SA-eem
- pakistani mom, puerto rican-american dad. mom is first gen immigrant, doctor of some kind, dad is second gen born and raised in salem
- sk8r boi!!! it's a pretty consistent hobby he has had since childhood
- had a pretty lonely elementary school life, pretty friendless because he was a rather taciturn kid at this point in time
- got introduced to some sportsball or another around middle schoolbecause [static]
- became fit basically had a Glo Up so lots of girls started having crushes on him and stuff
- actually really really liked all this positive attention, leaned into it.
- is also gay btw so not like any of those crushes actually went anywhere
- very gay
- conflict with his dad in particular re this, both parents are traditional. the mom is kinda cool with it though and there's this kind of truce for the meantime, an uneasy truce in the house. they don't talk much about this
- he's closer to his mom than his dad in general
- he basically purposefully puts on this sort of bad boy aesthetic because it's what Hot and Cool with the Teens and also he generally likes guys that look like that and also also he likes being handsome he likes being admire
- to clarify i mean most of his shirts are probably sleeveless/muscle shirts along with ripped jeans, shorts, will try to get tattoos as soon as he's able, spends an hour a day styling his hair, the works
- terminally online on instagram/twitter 😔 probably has hundreds and hundreds of picture, 75-90% selfies
- Impostor Syndrome. deep-seated feeling that he doesnt belong where he is socially and that someone will find him out sooner or later, make him friendless as he belongs
- generally personable because he's popular so it kinda feels required at this point
- gay™️ has probably dated/had flings with many boys at this point. im undecided atm wrt long-term relationships but if you're interested lmk
- he does this because cool popular teens date a lot of people so he should date a lot of people right? he doesnt really actually have a good grasp of, like, intimacy or long-term relationships, he just has fun, moves onto the next guy, and it's okay i guess it feels good i guess but he's not really sure if he's having fun or not
- attends lots of parties because that's where he generally finds guys but also parties are just fun being around people is just fun and if he's not around people then what's the point of him?

Teddie:
- Probably casually chill with June. Maybe they did some fooling around kissing as exes? But nothing major.
- Is also an art boy so might be friends with Jayson through that (as if he wouldn’t try to be friends anyway).
- Is not a gamer so probs not friends with Nyah

Spuds:
- Chill with June but nothing huge in common there.
- Also doesn’t have a tonne in common with Jayson so probs not acquainted much if at all.
- Also doesn’t really have much in common with Nyah. Ouch, 0/3.

Somehow the image of Matt meowing at Nyah for obvious reasons is stuck in my head. Do with it as you please.

June: Ren's a friendly kid with a (specifically) chinese cooking passion! 'Cause they are literally a chef in their moms buffet and all. Isaiah's a bit of a high achiever as well- not *that* high but he tutors kids so there's that!

Jayson: Bets is an art kid who probably would give a request or two as a 'trade' for her turning his art into a patch or button or something. I... I mean, I have 1 idea about maybe him and Isaiah but... I dunno I dont think its a very good idea ):

Nyah: I don't know... I dont have much for her other than the fact that our girls both have Bad Name soliditary.

I really like June's concept and actually think it meshes well with my own Richard, especially because he did phone banking and participated in voter registration efforts for the Kirby campaign and is also sorta a type A, Deans list dude with a doctor parent and Ivy League ambitions. Just off rip that sorta complimentary friendship and dynamic def speaks to me and so I would love the opportunity to hash things out and maybe flesh out the friendship a bit, even at a tangential level!

HELLO TRAIN.

As stated in DMs I would like Nyah and Kitty to be friends that originally met online and only then found out they lived in the same town and went to the same high school. Also Kitty always says NYAH and not NI-ah but she's allowed. :3

I could also see Kitty being art friends with Jayson. Especially since their mutual autism (assuming you make him autistic) would give her impetus to approach him.

Might have more later, I think Lúcio would probably be friends with both June and Jayson but we shall see.

June + Birch: They're both high-achievers, though Birch's position in that echelon is perpetually precarious. Some of Birch's reckless behavior does manifest in the form of picking fights unnecessarily, though--and even setting that aside, their general high-strung tendencies mean that they snap at others very easily when stressed. Maybe they're a friend who she wishes wasn't a friend?

Jayson + Ren: Pinoy squad (sorta) and Ren would probably be inclined to hang around the artsy nerds, despite not arting themself. Relates to feeling like they don't belong anywhere. If Jayson turns out to be autistic, Ren's friends all know that they're autistic so Jayson should know too.

Nyah + Ren: They're both nerds who are more inclined to talk about games than to actually play them?

In terms of relationships, I can see June being annoyed by Darryl's behavior when he's in full annoyance mode.

Jayson and California could probably bond over the fact they both draw.

- in hindsight i should clarify that with june, she'd be very chaste. like, the idea i have of any relationship with her is maybe a few dinner/movie dates, just casually hanging out, talking to one another. i'm not sure she's super open to intimacy and i dont think she's the type to casually sleep around too. but i can accept them having dated and then it just casually falling apart once they realize it's not going anywhere physically? but also given teddie's good nature i can still see them being friends after. he's nice enough anyways

- art friend art friend art friend. jayson probably really likes his animation style and maybe also likes him who knows

- also fine with all the non-friend things here even if that means spuds is my Enemy

- I HAVE NEW CHILDE. saim's probably been with teddie. fun times but teddie's a Bit Much for him. wrt spuds how does spuds feel about soccer players? they could be casual acquaintances

matt is semi-allowed but he's on THIN ICE
in all seriousness they could be casual acquaintances matt seems nice enough. but thin ice [insert 10 knife emojis]

also you have a messy gay (indigo) i have a messy gay (saim) sooooooooo
basically im saying they could have hooked up before but indigo asked for intimacy from saim and what is intimacy or commitment actually????? so that probably ended horribly

- re: ren/june cooking friends!!! although will note that june is aggressively Not counterculture she mostly gives off the essence of white bread normally so idk how ren will deal with that. but cooking friends!!
- re: isaiah/june c o n n e c t i o n s. they can be friends yes

- re: jayson/bets more art more art. also im thinking jayson thinks nicely enough of her but picks up on her apathy enough that he thinks it's his fault because he probably annoyed her somehow and why is he like this so he probably distances himself from her usually. but if he's nice to her then hey she isn't mad at him!!! but yeah complicated stuff
- re: jayson/isaiah Do Tell [eyes emojis x5]

- re: saim/ren i am throwing a new childe at you. i have a sk8r boi who also parties a lot so they could be friends probably since they see each other a lot probably
- re: saim/bets i feel like they hang in the same circles but he doesn't like her that much because he's picked upon her fakeness so yeah

we've talked about nyah and kitty/natasha already and im vvv game for all of the above
kitty and jayson would def be friends finally someone who understands him <33333
wrt lucio, i feel like june could be casual acquaintances with him. jayson would probably crush on him and they've had one or two convos that went well enough i guess but better not press his luck. also saim could be part of the body improvement club with him

10 knife emojis doesn't stop Matt but 11 might....... yes

Indigo is drawn to anything bad boy and/or complicated so I don't have any objections to that. Combined with Saim's intimacy and commitment issues Indie probably said something dumb that made it end worse than it had to since he's very honest. messy gay + messy gay = !!?!?!?

All sounds good! Soz about Spud being your foe.

Teddie would absolutely have fun with Saim if the opportunity presented itself. He's also pretty casual and quick with relationships too so at least there wouldn't be a tonne of drama. wrt Spuds Spuds has no antipathy towards soccer players and would probs be chill with Saim. But again not a tonne in common there so can you stop making kids that Spuds has no enthusiasm for plz :(
