Welcome to my (mutuals only) blog! My name is Sky, and here you will find a variety of characters from The Goldfinch! My portrayals are based on the book, but I might adapt certain things that I liked from the movie into my portrayals as well. I am iconless for now because I don’t have the time to make icons for all these new characters.
My rules are simple! You must be over 18 to write with me. Underage smut will not be written, but there will be implications just like in the book. Don’t be gross, don’t bring drama into my life, don’t be disrespectful. You can expect to see a lot of heavy content such as suicide, drugs, alcohol, mentions of abuse and neglect, prostitution, extreme violence such as bombings and shootings, gang related activities and so on. That’s pretty much all there is to it!
Muses are below! Feel free to request to write with any of them!
Theodore Decker
Young faceclaim: Oakes Fegley
Older faceclaim: Pending
Age: Between 13 and 26
Sexuality: Gay but heavily repressed
Notes: He struggles with internalized homophobia and is incredibly scared of appearing gay. He will shy away from it heavily without being decently intoxicated. Please keep that in mind for this character! If your male muse outright hits on him, to give an example, he might react badly but it doesn’t mean he isn’t interested. He is just battling his own fears. He is also suicidal and heavily depressed. Sometimes he can be a bad friend, such as saying a broken rib wasn’t that bad when Boris confided in him about how violent his father was or saying boo hoo when Boris talked about killing himself.
Kayley Hutchins aka “Kotku”
Faceclaim: Maggie Lindemann
Age: Between 16 and 28
Sexuality: Bisexual
Notes: I don’t know if her name is Kayley or Kylie because I see both names in the tags, but the movie said Kayley so this is what I chose to use. This character does date an older man in his late 20′s, and when she is 18 she dates a 16 year old. I am okay with aging her down to 17 in the Las vegas timeline if that makes people more comfortable. Please keep in mind that this is a character based on a novel and I will not condone everything she does. She is deeply troubled and has some unfavorable qualities.
Xandra
Faceclaim: Sarah Paulson
Age: 40
Sexuality: Straight
Notes: Xandra doesn’t take to Theo right away, but she gradually warms up to him. When he runs away from Las Vegas after Larry (Xandra’s boyfriend and Theo’s dad) dies, she falls into a deep depression. Having Boris around keeps her happy for a while, because he is all she has left of that life, but eventually she packs up and moves away to start a new life elsewhere, away from the desert that only brings on painful memories.
Pippa
Young faceclaim: Aimee Laurence
Older faceclaim: Ashleigh Cummings
Age: Between 13 and 26
Sexuality: Bisexual with a preference for males
Notes: Because she was injured from a bomb in a museum, Pippa struggles to do some of the things she used to do. She has intense PTSD and can’t perform musing the way she used to, which sometimes makes her mental health spiral. She needs people in her life that are stable and can support her. I also don’t ship her and Theo romantically. I believe Theo is gay and he had an obsession with her because she was there with him when the bomb went off and Theo’s mother was killed.
Samantha Barbour
Faceclaim: Nicole Kidman
Age: 46
Sexuality: Straight
Notes: She can come across as cold and aloof, but she cares deeply for her children and has their best interests in mind. That includes Theo’s. She has an image to keep up with and was strictly raised. She is well spoken, put together and organized. She disciplines her children as she sees fit. When her husband and her son Andy dies, she falls into a depression and gives up the act. She becomes warmer and more approachable.

Kayley took a long drag from her cigarette, a sweet vodka cooler held in her other hand. She was sitting comfortably on the couch of Boris's flat, her feet resting in his lap while she watched him fondly and revisited their days in Las Vegas in her mind. She could still see hints of the teenage boy she'd fallen for, most prominently in the way his hair was still messy and he was often pushing it or flipping it out of his face.
"Do you remember when I showed you all those hip hop songs when we were younger?" She began to smile at the memory and nudged Boris gently in the ribs with her foot. "I got you hooked on a few of them, and you made me watch SOS Iceberg I don't know how many times. I think I can still quote it word for word." She remembered all the bad that came with their relationship too. The jealousy and mistrust, the arguing over her not eating enough and the fights about who would pay when they were dining out somewhere. "Things ended really fucking poorly between us, I know that, but I missed you."
Angry didn’t even come close to describing how Xandra felt. Larry was dead, her drugs that she’d been relying on selling to keep paying for the house were gone, Theo had disappeared with a lot of her money, and the people she owed were going to be incredibly upset with her. When Boris showed up, the young Russian kid who had practically moved in with how much time he’d spent hanging out with Theo, she had nothing kind to say to him. She called him every name in the book she could think of, tearing into him until she saw tears budding at the corners of his eyes and rolling down his cheeks. She could be stone cold at times, but she was fond of the kid and didn’t want to see him cry. For that reason, she averted her gaze, looking anywhere but his tear streaked face for now.
“Well shit, kid.” Xandra muttered, tapping her long, acrylic nails against the frame of the door while she popped her gum. “You have nowhere to go, huh?”
From the look of him, it didn’t look like he was doing too good. He had messy hair, dirty clothes, and he was badly in need of food to put some weight on. “Fine. You can stay with me for a while until you figure something else out. I shouldn’t be doing shit for you with the goddamn mess you and Theo left me in. Where did the little brat go anyway? I thought he was with you.” Opening up the door wider, Xandra stepped aside. “Come on then, before I change my mind. Get a shower and then we’ll talk.”

I wear bespoke suits. I swim twice a week. I socialize with people I can’t stand. I’m relaxed, personable. I don’t indulge in self pity. It’s true what I read, “We’re so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others, that in the end we become disguised to ourselves.”

he knows he does not love kitsey. at least not in the way he knows he should. he knows he does not love pippa either. not truly. he may deny these things until his throat scrapes itself raw, but he himself knows the truth. he always has. even as a little kid tucked away in a new york apartment with parents who did not love one another as they should.
and though he may pretend that he does not know these things about himself, theo has never been stupid
he knows clear as day that the only times he had ever felt at home since the day his mother died was when he was in vegas. home was curled up in his bed that was made for one but always fit two. and theo knows exactly why the only time the nightmares seemed to leave him was when a pair of scrawny were arms wrapped around his waist and a nose was pressed to the back of his neck.
so when kitsey says to him, eyes brimming with tears and hands clasped neatly in her lap, “i don’t expect you to know what it feels like to be in love with the wrong person” he can’t help but let a sad smile break across his face.
because he has known. theo has known that feeling since he was fourteen years old. he’s known since that first night he’d woken with his sheets clinging to his sweaty skin and panic rattling in his chest. the only thing that seemed to drag him back to reality was gentle murmur of “potter” in his ear and the hands pulling him closer to the warmth of the boy behind him. and as he fell asleep theo watched moon through the blinds. bright in the sky and the only light for miles and miles in the empty desert.
theodore decker is not stupid. he’s known who he loved since the beginning. theo knew more than anyone what it was like to love the wrong person.
« The first time he'd turned in bed and draped an arm over my waist, I lay there half- asleep for a moment, not knowing what to do: staring at my old socks on the floor, empty beer bottles, my paperbacked copy of The Red Badge of Courage.
At last - embarrassed - faked a yawn and tried to roll away, but instead he sighed and pulled me closer, with a sleepy, snuggling motion. Ssh, Potter, he whispered, into the back of my neck. Is only me. It was weird. Was it weird? It was; and it wasn't.
I'd fallen back to sleep shortly after, lulled by his bitter, beery unwashed smell and his breath easy in my ear. I was aware I couldn't explain it without making it sound like more than it was.
On nights when I woke strangled with fear there he was, catching me when I started up terrified from the bed, pulling me back down in the covers beside him, muttering in nonsense Polish, his voice throaty and strange with sleep.
We'd drowse off in each other's arms, listening to music from my iPod (Thelonious Monk, the Velvet Underground, music my mother had liked) and sometimes wake clutching each other like castaways or much younger children. »

love how boris and theo share everything with each other, never keep track of who pays for what and literally punch each other and make each other bleed without either of them ever holding a grudge, whereas boris and kotku fight down to pennies and she plays her ‘i’m upset and sad now and it’s all your fault’ card every chance she fucking gets. real love huh?
