hi, i’m korie and everything makes me nervous and this is cooper walsh ( the protégé ) 

currently a senior at houghton academy with absolutely no plans for college atm. he’s hoping his parents will just figure out all that stuff for him. he’s also on the football ( even though he’s only good at running away from the action bc he’s scared to get hurt ) and basketball team. 

he’s pretty pleased with where he lies on the social ladder. he knows that sports was an easy way to climb the social ladder, though he’s afraid of climbing any higher that someone will notice that he has no idea what he’s doing.

can’t remember what his life was like before becoming a part of the inner circle and desperately tries to play it cool about wanting to become a windsor

he likes to talk a lot of shit and is really good at ignoring things until they seemingly go away and gets really defensive when someone calls him out on his bullshit

he doesn’t take literally anything seriously

he’s the youngest out of five and has never ever been able to connect with the rest of his family as he got older. his dad owns a law firm and his mom owns and operates her fashion company which means they both have really long days and were hardly around.  today he doesn’t consider himself super close to his family, but has absolutely no problem spending their money.

despite his parents working hard for their respective legacies, cooper didn’t grasp the concept of hard work. but when dante approached him and began molding him into another version of himself, he was intrigued.but taking dante’s job is a lot harder than it looks. he’s still not totally sure of what could come from it.

connections wanted: girlfriend, party friends, fwbs ( benefits = tell him he’s pretty ), exes on good or bad terms, ( fre ) enemies, tutors, and anything we can come up with tbh. like this and i’ll IM you~~

just a quick intro for my newest baby, blake! most of his info you can find in his bulletpoints on the main, but here’s a brief summary.

first off all, this is his stat page.

blake moved from new york to boston when he was 12 years old because his father got a job offer at dante’s father’s law firm.

his father pressures him a lot to follow into his footsteps and go to law school, which blake really isn’t feeling. he's hoping to get into julliard. 

the townsends live in the same neighborhood as the arroyo’s. because of their families being close, blake and dante started hanging out and even became friends.

their friendship took a weird turn when dante randomly kissed him. while blake cared about dante, he didn’t have those kind of feelings for him and told him that, which resulted into the other boy threatening him to never tell anyone. their friendship never recovered from that incident.

he was quick to gain popularity in high school because of his quick wit and the fact that he was on the cheer leading squad. he’s also on the dance team, plays tennis and is part of the drama club and sga

in general, he’s a good guy, but can be a bit of a shady shithead sometimes bc reasons.

so i’m obviously way too lazy to make him an actual connections page, so i’ll just list some that i would like: friendships, exes, girls who he hooks-up with or has dated when he’s not dating bryden, frenemies, rivals, enemies, literally all the basic connections. 

daaaamn aj, back at it again with the long as fuc headcanons !! anyway hi everyone it’s me this is saint he’s a pretentious fuck & my ( really long, sorry, feel free 2 skip them, there’s a tl;dr summary in my bulletpoints so u can just scroll past it ) headcanons and intro stuff is under the cut !

first headcanon. while most houghton parents are doctors, lawyers, and business executives, saint’s always been something of a horse of a different color. his family certainly isn’t unwealthy—he does, after all, live in one of those multi-million-dollar brownstones in beacon hill auctioned by freaking sotheby’s—but they’re certainly neo riche, which can be sort of hit or miss, depending on who you’re asking. saint is not unlike his parents in that they surround themselves with a kind of off-kilter opulence ( sure, that kind of cash value would have bought them a newly constructed sleek mansion in the suburbs, but why go for something new and modern when you could live in a brownstone with over three hundred years of history that, supposedly, one of the founding fathers lived in? besides, you just can’t beat that location—never mind that the brownstone’s been totally gutted and replaced with sleek, modern interior anyway, and definitely not anything that ben franklin or whoever would have touched ) while pretending to eschew materialism and vanity. why else would they live in boston instead of new york or la, right? anyway. saint is the only son of the one and only cordelia st. mercy ( pronounced, unlike saint’s name, the french way—san merci, which sounds hilariously close to ‘sans merci,’ meaning ‘without mercy,’ a joke that is not lost on saint ), a renowned fashion photographer and portrait artist ( think in the vein of annie liebovitz  and arthur elgort ) with a marked celebrity and high art clientele, and also the one and only son of the less elegantly named garrett wallace ( a pen name; his real name is garrett wallerstedt, but his editor and agent agreed that last names that are difficult to pronounce are harder to sell ), whose grisly but artful novels earned him a national book award in 1997, a film deal in 2001 ( the film was a critical and box office success but, in garrett’s opinion, too reductive of his book; ‘pure snuff’ ), and a professorship in the creative writing program at MIT. yes, that MIT, which yes, does have a creative writing program, and yes, it’s a very good one. SO—that’s the pedigree saint mercy-wallace was born into, and it probably explains a whole lot about him. his parents are not and were never married, so he can’t quite say he’s a child of divorce. instead, he spends the school year with his father while his mother travels all over the world, doing her work, though she comes home for holidays and saint’s birthday, and the summers he spends with his mother, dipping his feet into the world of the new york art scene. it was an unusual arrangement, but not a bad one; it was a long time before saint even understood that his family situation was out of the ordinary, but, like, at least he knew both his parents loved him or whatever. they are both pretty emotionally distant and prone to getting caught up in their own work—his father is always focused on teaching or poring over his latest book or invited to give a talk somewhere, for example—but it’s not a bad situation. they’re just more like friends than parents. as a result, saint grew up with a lot of freedom ( more than most of his houghton peers, whose helicopter parents put the weight of the world on their shoulders ) and little discipline, often left to his own devices and trusted with the ability to take care of himself.

second headcanon: ah, yes. the houghton food chain. it’s easy to say saint sits at the dead bottom. like, he’s not even the bugs that get eaten by the birds or whatever. he’s the plant that gets eaten by the bugs. or the soil nutrients that get consumed by the plants—something like that. but the easy answer isn’t necessarily the correct one, and you see, once upon a time, saint sat somewhere near the top. he was never number one, of course, but he was up there, in that little crew of self-proclaimed high school princes and princesses ( quite literally, what with calling themselves windsors and all ). and he fit quite well, all things considered. what, with his pseudo-celebrity family background and his instagram roll full of selfies with models and musicians and actors and that specifically youthful brand of devil-may-care attitude that bordered at times on cruelty—he was a perfect fit for the windsors, his five-story, oft-empty brownstone the perfect venue for their parties and his unconscious need to belong to some kind of family the perfect host for going along with anything that dante and his ilk said. that’s not to make it sound like he was manipulated into it or anything of the sort—he wasn’t. he and dante were good friends—they were all good friends—and like anyone would, saint relished in the perks that came with sitting at the king’s left hand instead of dancing for his entertainment. he was ( and still is ) always the kind of person who gave off an air of not really caring about anything at all, but that’s especially easy when you want for nothing. his life was impossibly easy. too easy, perhaps—exactly what went down that infamous day when saint fell from his high school pedestal remains a mystery. all anyone really knows is this: it was your typical rager at chateau mercy-wallace. the party was going as saint’s parties typically did, so, pretty well, until saint cut the music and ( red-rimmed and wild-eyed, or stinking of about a hundred cigarettes, or with a bloody nose from too many lines of coke, depending on who’s telling the story—it’s morphed a bit over time ) threw everyone out of his house with no explanation. just a party’s over, fuckwads, get outta my house, and some monologue about the bullshit superficiality of high school, of all of them, about how they were all talking in circles and repeating the same lines over and over, but not even their own lines, lines they’d inherited from generations and generations past. it’s equally up for debate whether saint left the windsors or was kicked out, but there’s something of a general consensus that it was in the muddy lines of both. that went down somewhere towards the middle of the end of his junior year. since then? total social pariah. he left behind the lacrosse and soccer teams, opting instead for chain-smoking under the bleachers and cutting class. he’s a mystery, that saint mercy-wallace.

third headcanon: they were friends until they weren’t. they met in middle school and hit it off pretty easily, these two sons of daedalus who feared not the dangers of flying too close to the sun. they were handsome and charming and confident and gifted and the world opened for them—it made it easy to get along. eleven-year-olds didn’t need much by way of substance to start friendships. if you were to ask saint, looking back on it, after that they remained friends out of habit—because they were in the same place at the same time, because they had similar privilege, because they both felt they could do anything and get away with it, because they had similar luxurious sensibilities. it was ( if you ask saint ) what really bonded all of the windsors together more than any other kind of commonality. but, you know. when you wake up—as saint describes it, a waking up—and you look around and you see all this shit you’ve been brainwashed into thinking matters about anything, and you call out the only flimsy common ground you’ve got. well. you’re not going to be friends anymore, are you? after that, saint didn’t harbor any particular resentment towards dante, but he made no attempts to be friendly, often making snide remarks about the absurdity that was the whole premise of the “windsors” and how maybe they all needed to get outside and look at something other than their phones once in a while. he was still fairly shocked and upset by his death—nobody wants anyone to die, old friend slash new enemy or otherwise—but not enough to make a big thing out of it. saint’s had a pretty hard time feeling much of anything these days.

OK THE TL;DR VERSION:

son of a big hotshot fashion/art/celeb photographer ( cordelia aka cordy st. mercy ) and an acclaimed writer, essayist, novelist, thinker, etc ( garrett wallace, who teaches creative writing at MIT )

lives in a big ol brownstone in boston proper, often left to his own devices

his parents are not married to each other so he usually spends the school year w dad and the summer w mom - pls advise if u want some kind of step sibling or “our parents are dating this is terrible!” connection

used to be a windsor ! he was once (in)famously a member of the elite Inner Circle(TM) until he even more infamously had a giant burnout , threw everyone out of his house during a Classic Saint Rager ( he used to be known for throwing parties ), stopped hanging out w the windsors and has been kinda.....weird ever since

i mean don’t get me wrong he was always a pretentious fuck but he used to be better at keeping it inside and like having fun and talking about silly things now he hates talking about basic high school bullshit

his instagram is full of selfies w models and artists and musicians and actors and he only listens to bands you’ve probably never heard of who are “on the up and up”

and also house music and gregorian chants and weird af shit he’s into, like, industrial noise. anyway..........

prides himself on being very fashion forward and forward thinking in general

BIG MESS

literally never says things that aren’t . ridiculous

examples:

“can’t today my existential dread is acting up”

“i only eat squid ink pasta it’s the most melancholy of pasta”

“i can barely navigate the hellish vortex between breakfast and dinner, let alone the labyrinth of the soccer field” ( said when he quit the soccer & lacrosse teams, which he used to play )

does not give a single fuck about anything ever

chainsmokes like u wouldn’t believe catch him on the bleachers during football practice wearing all black and smoking three cigarettes at once it’s disgusting ( lowkey he thinks it looks cool lol what a loser )

reads pretentious af shit like jd salinger and allen ginsburg and the other beats and thinks he’s so edgy. kill him

skips class.....all the time . . . . but has really good grades ? wild

hates everyone and everything that isn’t Elegant

acts like he’s so above all this high school hierarchy nonsense & too cool for it & blah blah but uh

he’s probably just depressed

maybe still gets invited to parties if people forget for a second that he’s a giant fucking weirdo now? but maybe not

i would Love a ferris bueller to his cameron frye but we’ll see

anyway he’s super hard to plot with but you should plot with me anyway

this has been an intro by aj thanks for coming to my ted talk

          hi everyone! i’m blake, this is my dumb boy taylor (or tay, or tae since his korean name is taeyong), and i’m excited to be here but not excited about having to post an intro because i’m what??? that’s right , trash! since it’s probs relevant, i’ll go ahead and say that taylor is (or i guess was... rest in pieces dude) dante’s academic rival (yay antagonistic plots) and he’s that guy who is in every damn club in school. what a loser.

taylor is a certified genius(TM) wow wow ow owowwowo w

what does he use his powers for? mostly being obnoxious to be honest

crazy rich asian

pulls a lot of pranks on people just for the fun of it... hmu if u want to plot a thing related to that!! they’re always really overly elaborate. like he paid mechanics to take apart someone’s car and rebuild it in the school library, dumb stuff like that.

has tons of privilege and since he’s always been this like brain child his parents really dote on him??? so he feels like he could get away with anything tbh so he has a very like devil may care kind of attitude

v involved in the school (lacrosse team, debate team, student government, golf team, newspaper, etc) because he wants to get those ivy league acceptances gross

that guy who learns everyone’s name and makes sure to walk down the halls and acknowledge them all the time bc he wants to be a senator and he’s working on those campaign skills lmao

he’s a punk lil shit but he means well for the most part

however he can be really condescending because he’s accustomed to thinking of himself as the smartest person in the room

likes to be like “dante who?” what a faker

he likes to be chill and have a good time but he is prone to being a giant dickwad if things don’t go the way he wants them to so sometimes idk he can be moody

thats about everything!! he’s a new muse im still developing him heh

for plots i would especially love a best friend partner in crime or two or someone he’s like protective over idk like a little sister type thing... but i’m down for anything really!!

hi, guys! i’m katie ( she/her ; cst ; 18 ) & this is my precious little bean kyle ---- if you want to plot with him, let me know or like this and i’ll come at you! below this cut, you’ll see an intro for both me & kyle as we’re cool cats. 

THE MUN ;;;

hi, there ---- katie is the name and cst is the game/timezone. 

i’m 18 and just graduated high school yeeeeeeet

my interests include anything yellow, true crime, serial killers, and cults. i’m none of those, but i enjoy them.

i also like cryptids???

i’m going into marine biology and german

i’m a polygot and run a langblr yeeet.

THE MUSE ;;;

kyle was born to two parents & has two younger siblings. his mom & siblings left when he was ten. 

he was raised by his father practically and that man is his best friend. his father never remarried and it has always just been the two.

he has always attended the school, only getting into by his father scraping the money from his grandparents who really wanted kyle to attend the school.

his interests include golf ( boy does he love golf ), reading, and puzzles. 

he’s not very popular and chances are you rarely notice him in the hallways. he kind of keeps to himself. 

he’s an AP kid, very very smart.

was high key bullied by dante and kyle eventually snapped and stood up for himself, but that just made the verbal bullying worse

he's fragile, please don't hurt him

that’s all i have at the moment. 

henlo pals! i’m nat. your friendly neighborhood hot mess and i’ll be blessing y’all with my tiny, angry, sad babe.

okurr sO we have some stats and some wanted connections & eventually we’ll have a full bio up but for now we just have some bullets so bear with me fam.

ana is 17 and does cross country & drama and improv.

our. girl. loves. drama. just not in her own life okay she has had eNOUGH.

her mom passed her freshman year and it was v sudden and fucked her up a whole bunch. 

so she lives with her two younger brothers, dad, and paternal grandparents

and pals lemme tell ya it is crAMPED ‘cause they don’t have a whole lot as far as money goes

but they’re all v loving and v supportive and always have been

not AS close as they were before her mom passed, but ana took on a lot of her mom’s responsibility afterward so she had to grow up pretty quick and never really properly grieved?

so we mad y’all. we real mad.

she acts like she gives zero fucks but gives many, many fucks. ana + processing emotion = not a thing

she has a soft spot for the underdogs, so anyone who isn’t a windsor stands a chance of being her friend.

but she’s prickly and sarcastic and a pretty big asshole before you get to know her, so if ya just keep chippin’ away at her she’ll eventually be like fine lets be pals.

she’s on scholarship so she works her ass off & works two jobs outside of school + extra curriculars, so you best believe ana is cranky af when she’s not caffeinated, so anyone who brings her coffee is her favorite.

and uhhh that’s all i can think of at the moment? but yeah we should plot bc i’m v excited to write with you all and i’m sorry in advance for this little shit. pls forgive me. 

introducing,

waddup, peeps ?? this tiny bean goes by the name of rue ( she/her ) and i’ll be playing soft boy™, luca rosario. he’s pretty much a new faceclaim for me with an old character’s background. however, francisco has recently become my forever fave, therefore i’m so excited to have the opportunity to play him !! if you would like to hmu for plots / scream about connections all day long, please give this a like and i’ll come wiggling into your ims ( or discord; find me at justrue#2233 ) shortly after. under the cut, you’ll find a brief summary about luca and his life. also all my wcs are listed over here if you wanna check that out as well. his stats can be found here too. can’t wait to start interacting !!

+ disclaimer: very slight talks of cancer and mental health are below. read at your discretion.

layer one: the stats.

name. luca leonardo rosario.

alias. people usually just call him by luca but sometimes luke, luki, or leo make an appearance.

title. over time, he has proudly deemed himself an obsessive pizza addict, artistic nutcase, or one of the missing dead poets society members.

name meaning. his true significance of his name means a bringer of light.

age. eighteen years old.

gender identity. cis-male.

pronouns. he/him.

sexual orientation. predominately panromantic demisexual. it isn’t so much so that luca is completely disinterested in sex (he’s got a perfectly good libido, thank you very much), he just doesn’t find himself sexually attracted to people based on physical appearance or initial impressions. instead he finds personality, intellect, and existing emotional attachment considerably more compelling. the idea of intimacy with somebody he’s not close with rather repulses him.

current residence. boston, massachusetts.

religion. he was raised roman catholic but converted to spiritual agnosticism when he was fifteen. he views that universal ethics and love are far more important than claims about any deity and trivialize the arguments supporting or rejecting such claims. to luca, it doesn’t matter which religion someone might follow, nor does it matter whether or not someone believes in god. what matters is what someone does, not what they believe. he has his parents’ full support in his switch even though the rest of his family practices catholism.

spoken languages. portuguese  (fluent/main), english (fluent/2nd main), french and polish (still learning but can understand it quite well).

education. currently a senior at houghton academy.

layer two: the story.

- so this is my baby boy, luca rosario and i love him sm ?? he usually goes by luca, but on occasion people call him either luke, luki, or leo. but he doesn’t care what people call him as long as it’s kind.

- luca was born in san paulo, brazil to both loving and supportive parents named jeremi and mariana. he lived there until he was six years old when his family moved to boston because his parents, who are both marine biologists, were located for work.

- his parents had him when they were both young.

- luca was also born out of wedlock, so by the time his parents decided to marry two years after he was born, his parents had already made the decision to give him his mother’s maiden name even though his father’s surname is polish.

- growing up, he had and still does, have a great relationship with his parents. with his childhood consisting nothing more than love and devotion from his parents, luca had nothing to complain about. his parents loved him dearly, whose pure heart and open-mindedness they helped to cultivate. they encouraged luca’s belief in extraordinary things and hoped he had carried it throughout his life growing up. his parents had always made him promise to have courage and be kind to others, for—as they explained to him—kindness has power, and that they would see him through all the trials that life could offer, in life and death.

- cancer/mental illness tw: when he was thirteen, his mother had been diagnosed with cervical cancer. upon hearing the news, luca’s whole world clasped. not only was he at a pivotal stage in his life where everything was changing and becoming more stressful ( becoming a teenager, starting high school, going through puberty ), one of the most important people in his life had be claimed by the deadly disease altogether. so many thoughts and feelings were going through his mind at the time, that he ran himself physically sick and had experienced his first panic attack. he has since been medically diagnosed with panic disorder. thankfully the cells on his mother’s cervix were diagnosed at precancerous stage and the doctors were able to treat it because it developed and spread. however, that didn’t and doesn’t stop luca from being in a constantly state of panic every time his mother so much as feels pain or coughs due to irrelevant reasons. the entire year had changed him and his family for a while.

- he has brother, who is three years younger than him, named tomás. his relationship with his brother, however, is a bit estranged. as much as he loves his brother and wishes they could see eye-to-eye, sometimes they have a tendency to butt heads often. whether that might mean your typical sibling arguments or full-on blown out fights, they just can’t seem to see get along. sometimes people believe they aren’t actually related or that they’re half siblings because when his brother was born, he took their father’s last name.

- most people would describe luca as the benevolent. despite being in a world where there’s hatred and suffering, luca declares himself independent and strong-willed by remaining kind-hearted and self-loving, not allowing the bitterness surrounding his life to overtake him and morph him into someone as cruel as the world seems to be every day. he makes the most of his life by remaining optimistic of the possibilities of a brighter future. but besides that, he’s also witty and sarcastic. he is unafraid to stand up for himself when he feels he’s in the right–or at least, attempt to do so. and although he strives to contain his optimism aura, he can fall into fits of frustration and annoyance quite often.

- he’s also super quiet and shy. he loves to make friends but because of his quiet complex, he usually has trouble speaking up and making his voice heard. he tends to become flustered a lot too when he can’t express his emotions; which he has trouble doing anyway when he’s not flustered.

- luca is capable of enduing tremendous hardship. though he may not handle difficulty in the healthiest or best way, often repressing emotion, he mostly like emerges on the other side. he doesn’t know how to express his emotions in a diplomatic way, but rather fumbles it all up and starts to ramble. rarely opens up because of this.

- to put it plan and simple luca is an art ho. luca always loved anything artistic. even when he was little, he would go around with his disposable camera and take pictures of everything and then take to paper to draw of all the things he had taken pictures of as well.

- he’s like a hippie dippy child of the universe. no joke. no seriously, his place at home is full of sensual shit and art. it’s getting out of hand and somebody needs stop him soon.

- he strongly believes that art is an umbrella term that relates to expressing of oneself ( not just through photography and painting ) and that everyone has the freedom to express themselves however they please. because of his beliefs, he chooses to break gender roles like bread and wears whatever the fuck he wants because yolo.

-  his appearance pretty much represents his hippie dippy lifestyle with him wearing all sorts of cute hipster shit. he’s clothes are v flow-y but don’t let that fool you. he doesn’t miss the opportunity to represent his upper-middle class within his style, so he does dress to impress, let me tell you ( he’s a fashion ho too ). his hair color changes sometimes too depending on his mood but it’s generally never too eccentric.

so i decided to do a little switcheroo and bring my girl cassidy to houghton. she’s A Lot so i apologize in advance her shit. without further ado, let me introduce you all to my babe.

first of all, here is her stat page

most of her info you can find in her bulletpoints on the main, but here’s a tl;dr

cassie was born in salem. her mother her had when she was only sixteen years old and unlike most of her peers at houghton, she didn’t grow up wealthy.

she has a really bad relationship with her father, who had an on-and-off relationship with her mother until the latter finally moved on and married a rich cardiologist.

cassidy always pretended that her step father was her real father at school, because she wanted to fit in with the rest of houghton’s elite. her plan worked, and she joined the windsors in her sophomore year and quickly became one of the most popular girls at school. in her junior year, she also became the captain of cheerleading squad.

when dante was chosen as their new leader, the two of them had a power struggle. cassidy and dante always had a rivalry, and he wanted to get rid of her before she could sabotage him. so, he ended up stabbing her in the back and spilled her secret of how she grew up poor. in a fit of rage, she ended up punching him and kicking him in the groin rip. 

so cassidy got suspended from school, got demoted on the cheer squad and was unanimously voted out of the windsors. 

right now she’s kind of a social pariah. most of her friends cast her out, which hurt her tremendously, but in hindsight she also happy about not having to deal with their fake shit anymore. after getting demoted, she dropped out of the cheer squad.

cassidy HATES the windsors. like she loaths them and everyone close to them. my girl is bitter and vicious af so... you’ve been warned.

personality wise, she’s kind of a judgemental bitch, but after her fall from the top, she softened up a little bit, at least towards other people who reside on the bottom of the social hierarchy. 

connections that i would like for her are her ex friends/enemies, new friends, exes, romantic flings, frenemies, all that good stuff. you all know i suck at plotting but i try.

here we go again, fam. it’s nat, back with another nugget. let’s dig into it, shall we?

okay so first things first, i’m obvs always up for plotting. lemme know. i have connections here so ch ch ch cheeeeck ‘em out. now, for the good (??????) stuff.

miss kennedy is a junior & a windsor and haters gon’ hate.

she was born and raised in new york (and tbh will always be a new yorker at heart) but moved to boston early on bc her parents wanted them all to slow down.

even tiny bb ken was like, but why?

she made the most of it tho and became popular enough early on, but ya girl is power hungry and needed more SO

windsors here she came. 

she’s super nice until she’s not. but she’s not blatantly cruel? she’s that underhanded sneaky cruel? it’ll take ya about a half an hour to realize she just insulted you, ya mom, and ya dog.

bc homegirl is SMART and knows it, but also knows she’s gotta at least pretend to like people to get what she wants. 

which was kind of how her friendship with dante started, but then it became this pure friendship that literally no one expected.

so when he died ken was devastated. he was a genuine friend to her (or so she thought dun dun dun) and got her through a lot of shit.

this is short and shitty but it’s what y’all are getting for now lol so yeah hit me up on here for discord ily all <3

intro — ernest prouvaire. 

hey, everyone ! i’m holly, and this is ernest. you can call him ernie if you like. i have a more sort of detailed bio on his blog, but this is just a few fun dot points to fill you in ! please come and message me here or on discord, because my boy needs some connections !!

wanted connections page found HERE !

ernest, after a series of ear infections, went deaf at around 18 months old. he is now severely-profoundly deaf, and prefers to speak and sign at the same time.

he’s the sweetest person in the whole school, probably, though he’d blush and stutter and probably tell you otherwise. when he started at houghton, he was an easy target -- a deaf son of a pastor, come on -- but when people realised just how gentle he was, they sort of lightened up on him a bit. he’s very naive and optimistic, and incredibly easily flustered.

not necessarily popular because he’d be no fun to party with, but people like ernest bc he’s wholesome, genuine, and really very lovely to every person he comes into contact with.

very childlike ! he has very childish habits, like puffing out his cheeks and holding a cup with two hands when he drinks, tugging on people’s sleeves to get their attention. the whole bit.

he was dante’s tutor in art, and he’s very good at it. he spends a lot of time in the art room, but he never comes out of there covered in paint. he’s always very neat and tidy.

wears brightly coloured jumpers a lot. the one he wears most is yellow, because it’s very soft and warm, but he has a lavender coloured one he wears for good luck. his favourite one is pink, but he only wears it when his dad isn’t home.

sometimes he needs things repeated back to him in classes, if he’s afraid to ask a teacher to repeat themselves. he might ask your character if they’re neighbours.

asl club president !!! also a member of the art club.

honestly he’s just ??? wholesome af come and love him

~she loves control~

- Caitlin is outwardly the nicest of the Windsors. Ambitious to a fault, everyone at Houghton Academy’s is on the receiving end of her sweet smiles until they’re in her way. - With both of her parents highly involved with local politics, image is everything to the Byrnes. Her outfits are picked out meticulously, her tweets masterfully crafted, and her reputation obsessively controlled. Nothing cruel that Caitlin ever does can be pinned on her, and she ensures that it stays that way. - Don’t mistake her innocent facade for genuine kindness. Caitlin goes to all sorts of lengths to protect her social group, and while she’s not the type to slash and burn when something doesn’t go her way, you can be sure that behind her happy expression, she’s already thinking of all the ways that she can achieve her goals.

I’m so excited to plot with you all! If you have any ideas of plot lines between our two charas, my ask box is open!

it’s me, korie, bringing houghton yet another trashcan !

moved to boston about two years ago and is on scholarship at houghton

found out he was athletic in middle school and started milking that hard. eventually joined the cheerleading squad ( the politics are annoying sometimes, but he lives for the drama ) bc it’s the only thing he can do year round to keep himself looking like a snack

has CHRONIC middle child syndrome. which is basically attention, attention, validation, and more attention

doesn’t like to spend his nights in or alone and comes off as arrogant sometimes, but i promise he’s not always like That

not super judgy and will enable just about anything

gives The Worst advice and will try anything twice which makes him a textbook disaster gay

that nonsense was the tl;dr version of his headcanons below:

Austin’s parents are the perfect example of why you shouldn’t marry the girl you knocked up in high school. Their distaste for one another was perfectly clear for as long as he could remember. Therefore, the divorce came as no surprise to him and his older and younger sisters. There wasn’t a need for a custody battle when their father left before the divorce papers were finalized. The summer after the separation, the family moved to Boston to live with their grandmother. Before the divorce, their family did okay. But moving to an area with a high cost of living along with the divorce set the family back a few paces. 

His place on the social pyramid is mostly due to his position on the cheer squad and his ability to make himself known. Drawing attention to himself is something he can’t help. He hardly ever mentions his scholarship in fear of being ridiculed. So, he finds himself trying to give off the same uppity vibe as those around him. After being at Houghton for over a year, he likes to think he’s done a decent job of fitting in. 

Austin would be lying if he said he hadn’t tried to seduce Dante. He even thought about making a fake profile to explicitly attract Dante. He remembers the day Dante approached him very clearly. Just when he accepted he was nothing more than blip, Dante approached him. Ever since that night, the pair hooked up as discretely as they could. In the wake of Dante’s death, Austin was surprised to feel the guilt from their time spent together. 

y’all @ me for plotting <3

helloooo, it’s ren ( again ), bringing you all her newest thot, luka walsh. please check out his intro & give me plots? maybe?

first of all, here are his stats.

you can find most of his info on the main, but this is the tl;dr version

so, the opposite of brooks mcknight would be luka walsh. he’s probably the purest character i play ( even though he’s still sarcastic and judgey. ren can only play trash soz. )

luka was adopted when he was five by the walsh family. he loves his fam to pieces but also struggles with feeling unwanted, because his bio mom abandoned him.

looks like a cinnamon roll, and is actually a cinnamon roll ( unless you’re a windsor trash can or austin walker, in that case he might actually kill you. but with good reason. )

that being said, he’s probably still gonna lowkey judge you. especially if you’re going to do dumb fucking shit and not take his advice on stuff.

resides somewhere at the bottom of the social pyramid at school and is mostly known and cooper’s little brother - who looks nothing like him. 

luka is very passionate about music and acting, but whenever he has an audition coming up for a play or musical, he gets super nervous and usually chokes on stage.

in general, he gets anxious fast and just overanalyzes and worries. constantly. about everything.

he’s one of dante’s secret hook-ups. it only happened once, a few weeks before dante died, and it was luka’s first & only time. he highkey regrets it. 

so that’s about it. come plot with my child? he needs all the connections.

“Drinking one thing of coconut water a day counts as hydrating, right?” Raven asked the person next to her as she shrugged and took a huge chug from the carton in her hand. “I mean, you’d think as someone who’s a singer and very technically an athlete, I’d be way better at the whole taking care of myself thing.”
