Ouija Writes

☆ Fionn and his twin sister were born to a rather affluent couple in Ireland. They were the couple’s only children. His mother jokes that they were all their parents could handle though really it was because the two struggled to conceive. The twins were a small miracle.

☆ Fionn’s love of cooking started before he was even old enough to form proper sentences. His mother was –and still is– one hell of a cook. For as long as he could remember, Fionn loved to help her in the kitchen. There was just something about taking simple ingredients and creating something that could bring such joy that he loved.

☆ As he got a little older, he began preparing meals of his own, often subjecting his poor family to horribly made food, but with determination and plenty of practice, he did start to slowly improve. Though there was still the occasional flop here and there.

☆ Starting around the age of seven, Fionn began saving up any money he received for fancier ingredients and cookbooks, eager to try every recipe he could get his hands on whether or not it sounded appetizing.

☆ Like his love of cooking, he also inherited his adoration for love in general from his parents. For as long as he can remember, they were madly in love with one another. Always stealing kisses and flirting as if they were still dating. It was this that made Fionn want a relationship like theirs one day. One built on love and trust.

☆ There was a time where he thought he had found that sort of relationship. He met a young woman and fell madly in love with her, even thinking that she was quite possibly the one. Unfortunately for him, however, this relationship ended rather abruptly and though he doesn’t want to admit it, it hurt him deeply.

☆ It was months before he decided to try and move on. For years he flitted from one meaningless relationship to another –if one could even call them that– putting the majority of his time and attention into his work, but with work going well and his goal of owning his own place in sight, he decided it was finally time to try and find something meaningful again.

☆ When he isn’t working or trying out new recipes at home, Fionn can often be found curled up somewhere with a good book. He is an avid reader and also a bit of a heathen in the eyes of some due to his habit of writing in his books. Whether it’s notes or even something as simple as a dirty limerick, all the books on his shelves are well-read and littered with his thoughts scribbled in the margins.

☆ While he enjoys almost every genre of literature, he is partial to romance books. They are, for him, a guilty pleasure often tucked in the back of his shelves behind things like cookbooks and classics. He’s also quite fond of romance movies though they make him a bit sad.

☆ Though he greatly enjoys a nice quiet night in, he is also a fan of going out. Whether it be a party, a club, or just a night out with friends, he loves a wild evening now and again. In his teenage years, he was more of a party animal of sorts, often staying out all night and getting into trouble, but has calmed down as he’s gotten older.

☆ He and his sister, Fiona, were quite the handful when they were children and even in their later years. The two were thick as thieves, never seen without the other , and always getting into something.

☆ When they were ten, the two were climbing a tree in their backyard and upon startling a bird, Fionn fell out. He broke his arm and suffered severe hearing loss in his left ear. He wears a hearing aid to help with ambient noise but can’t hear much of anything in that ear. Because of this, he sometimes can get a bit overwhelmed in crowded areas, struggling to keep up with conversation. He also has the tendency to drift to the left a little when he walks.

☆ Fionn suffers from anxiety though he takes medication to help with that. Still, there are days where he can be jumpy and restless as a result.

☆ He is pansexual and panromantic.

☆ He is left-handed but can write with his right if needed. A skill learned after he broke his arm.

☆ He is classically trained and has a master’s in culinary arts.

☆ While he works as a pastry chef and often prefers making pastries, he is one hell of a cook and finds the act of creating a meal to be relaxing. Especially after a particularly stressful day. In some ways, he’s most relaxed when he’s in the kitchen.

☆ He is a stress baker and often shares things he makes with friends and neighbors.

☆ He also cooks for his elderly neighbor often, preferring to cook for more than one person, but also because he worries she doesn’t eat well enough. Just about every evening, he brings her a plate of whatever he’s made. This also lets him check on her to make sure she’s doing alright.

☆ He never stands still when he brushes his teeth, preferring to wander around his apartment while he does.

☆ He’s fluent in English, ISL, ASL, and Irish.

☆ He talks in his sleep and has even on occasion been seen signing in his sleep.

☆ His most embarrassing moment happened when he was eight. He was in a school play, playing the part of a tree and stupidly forgot to use the bathroom before being helped into his costume. He ended up peeing himself and was teased for at least a year following, often called the Weeing Willow. His acting career ended there, and to this day he can’t see a weeping willow without cringing.

☆ Though he earns quite a bit, he lives pretty frugally. Not because he is cheap, but because he is saving up to have his own shop one day. He hopes to have a place that is not only cozy but a new favorite for people in the area. The kind of place people can go to enjoy themselves and visit when they are feeling down.

☆ Despite how much time has passed, he still isn’t quite over his ex. He wants to be though and hopes to find something meaningful again soon.
