chris’ very unfinished bedroom :p

naomi newman (♫) | naomi’s world

the antagonist of her own story, causing most the problems in her life. she’s self destructive, pessimistic, stubborn, and can be a little bit selfish. she thrives in chaos, because that’s what she’s used to. it’s comfortable, and it’s predictable. stability freaks her out. she comes off as nonchalant, aloof, and confident. but that’s not the real naomi. she uses her carefully crafted persona and sarcastic, dry sense of humor to protect herself because behind the facade, she’s still just a scared, self loathing, and vulnerable little girl. she doesn’t like a lot of people, she can be harsh and judges too quickly. she does have a small group of friends that she’s close with though, they’re the only ones that get to see that soft side. she met most of them in high school. she’s a very loving and loyal friend if she deems you worthy enough to let you into her bubble.

naomi wasn’t always so guarded, but shit changes. the day after her 15th birthday, her older brother dylan passed away. he was the only person that she felt truly “got her.” she looked up to him a lot. he’s the reason she listens to the music that she does, watches the movies she watches, and has such a good sense of humor. he taught her how to draw, and she’s a pretty good artist now. she always wanted to be just like him. the day before he overdosed she told him she’d never forgive him if he let his addiction take him from her, and she still holds a lot of guilt for saying that. she didn’t mean it. she’s the one that found him laying unconscious on their grandmother’s bathroom floor. when dylan died, it felt like a piece of her died too. she was just never the same after that.

naomi leads a very hedonistic life in attempt to distract herself from the deeper issues she’s afraid to face. she doesn’t wanna grow up. she’d rather push all of that shit aside and use partying, meaningless sex with questionable people, and self sabotage to make those feelings go away. it’s not really working out that great for her though. she does have a few healthy coping mechanisms, like venting to her hairless cat scrunches. she also uses art as a way to get some of those emotions out, and it makes her feel closer to dylan.

not 100% finished but chris + naomi’s place is probably my fav apartment i’ve ever done

Dylan Newman (♫) | naomi’s world

dylan’s a cool dude. he’s got this infectious energy that draws everyone towards him. he has a lot of friends but somehow manages to make the time for them all. he thinks it’s important that they know how much they mean to him. he‘s really good at making people laugh, it just comes naturally to him. he does open mic stand up at a bar by his house every saturday night. 7 years ago, he dropped out of high school. since then, he’s been working as a line cook at a restaurant that’s been around longer than he’s been alive. he’s starting to hate it. it’s boring and unfulfilling. he could be doing more with his life. he’d rather be a comedian.

dylan’s got some issues though, he’s not doing as good as as he pretends to be. maybe that’s why he’s constantly trying to make everyone else around him happy, because he isn’t. he‘s not exactly sure why his depression’s gotten this bad, his life isn’t that shitty… it could be worse. but for some reason the lingering feeling of emptiness always manages to sneak back up on him as soon as he starts to feel okay again. it’s been that way for a while now. he doesn’t wanna worry anybody, and talking how his feelings makes him feel lame, so he just tries to ignore his emotions and distract himself as much as he can. he draws a lot. that usually helps. he can express himself without having to verbally do it. it’s not helping that much anymore. he’s starting to go to more extreme measures to make those bad feelings go away.

tripping on acid at the art gallery | naomi's world episode 3

dylan newman | naomi’s world

dylan taught naomi how to draw when they were younger, and now she’s a better artist than he is. he takes her to a lot of shows, mostly ones that are in somebody’s basement. the alternative music scene in their shitty hometown is surprisingly good. she helps him practice his comedy routines and lets him know what jokes work and which ones are “fucking terrible.” she can be harsh sometimes, but he’s glad she’s not afraid to voice her (brutal) opinions when it comes to that or anything else he does. she never hesitates to call him out.

their favorite thing to do has always been going to the beach though. naomi hates swimming in the ocean, but she thinks it’s pretty. says it’s a good place to reflect on things. that’s how she transitioned the conversation into confronting him about his drug habit that he hadn’t been hiding as well as he thought he was. he didn’t know what to say, but he also didn’t want to lie to her. he could tell she was already trying to not cry. she told him she’s known for a while now, but there was a small part of her hoping she was wrong. but she knew him better than anyone. she could tell something had been different about him. he was still dylan, but he wasn’t always “there.” anymore. sometimes he’s so strung out he just nods off mid conversation. she noticed the track marks. at first he’d only shoot up around his legs, but he was running out of veins. he started poking his upper arms. those ones were the most noticeable.

she told him she didn’t think any less of him, she knows he’s hurting. but he needs to get help. at first he got defensive, said he’s tried to stop using a few times but it was too hard. he got really sick without it. he said he was really gonna try to quit for good soon because he was tired and wanted to get clean. naomi immediately shut him down. told him he couldn’t do it on his own and he needs to toughen up and get his shit together. she said she’d be there for him in anyway he needed her to be, but she really needed him to get help. she didn’t wanna lose him and she’d never forgive him if something were to happen to him.

neither one of them said much after that. they both sat there for in silence for a while staring at the waves, until dylan let out a quiet “i’m sorry.”
