Lily: Considering that Bash and I didn't have a particularly amicable breakup, I figured that having me around might put you in a difficult position with him.
[5 minutes later]
Lily: Wait, he really didn't tell you?????
Ravi: When did this even happen?
Ravi: And no. He didn't tell me.
Ravi: Listen, Bash IS a difficult position, please don't break up with Stella too, she needs you.
Ravi: [sends photo of Stella with him pulling her lips down to look like she's frowning]

Lily: Hey, so I know I said I'd help with Stella this weekend. I am still available, but I also want to respect boundaries with your friendship with Bash. If this would be too awkward, I'm more than fine with stepping back from this. No hard feelings whatsoever, I don't want to put you in a weird position.
Ravi: Ok, sry, I think I missed something here.
Ravi: Can we start with 'boundaries' and work our way down, please?
Billie worked for the 3 years since moving back to town to find a balance in her life, to learn how to handle the shit life threw at her. Before her sulking and cynicism lead her to a place she was lucky to have returned from. Unlike L.A., Crescent Harbor had more people she knew cared - people she couldnāt convince herself hated her or wanted nothing to do with her. She had an outlet that made her feel purposeful, making art that was being published and recognized. Still as her birthday rolled around, everything bad seemed to settle at the forefront of her mind. Her relationship with her mother only seemed to get worse. Her resentment towards the woman deepened with every interaction. Bash was MIA. Anna was dealing with her own issues. She didnāt want to worry Flora, because her friend would know by looking at her that she was falling into old bad habits. The only person she promised to be better to was herself, but still she couldnāt do it. Because she was another year older and still completely lost, unsure if anything would ever truly make her happy. She ignored the looming anniversary of her fatherās death - tomorrow, the day after her birthday, downing her 5th shot of the evening. āIām the fucking birthday girl.ā She giggled to Curtis. How fucking sad, sitting her celebrating her birthday with Curtis.
āLet me have some fun.ā She pushed herself from her bar stool, climbing onto the bar. Her tight white tank top clung to her body as she paused her long curl hair over her shoulder. That was just it, right? How could she had any fun when she wasnāt suppose to indulge in substances? How was she suppose to have fun when everyone she loved she either disappointed or looked at her like she could break at any moment? Billie danced to the song playing through the speakers. āWho wants to take me home?ā She chimed out to the crowd of people.
It felt wrong-- being at a bar. Heād never been much of a frequent customer before, but heād been known to drink a few beers and catch a game a time or two. This, though? It almost felt like he was doing something he shouldnāt, like he had to look over his shoulder in case he was caught. It was silly and he laughed at himself, bringing the bottle heād been nursing for the last hour to his lips with a small shake of his head. It was wildĀ how much had changed in such a short amount of time.
There was a small commotion drawing his attention away from his thoughts and he glanced up in time to watch Billie climb on top of the bar. He was out of his seat before heād even made the decision to step in. Of courseĀ he was going to step in. Hand reaching out to her as she called out to the crowd, Raviās brows pinched.Ā āBillie,ā he tried, voice pitched loud enough to be heard over the music and the noise of the crowd. Ravi could do simple math, he knew there were very little equations out of this situation without some thread of regret. āHow about we sit and grab a drink, yeah?ā
back at it again with the third and final clown, ravi
Full name:Ā Ravi Varghese
Gender: cismale
Pronouns: he/him
Birthday: October 20, 1989
Marital status: single.Ā
Occupation: architect/aspiring writer
Residence: Goldfinch
fun facts
raviās always been annoyingly responsible. his mom used to joke that he was born an 80 year old man.Ā
he has always had a creative heart, often writing short stories and plays he and his younger sister would put on for their parents. he entertained ideas of becoming a writer
raviās parents got divorced very suddenly (or what felt sudden to a 12 year old who had never seen his parents fight) and his dad became the every-other-weekend type. ravi watched his mom struggle as a single parent to take care of him and his younger sister an,d took it upon himself to beĀ āthe man of the houseā -- whatever that is -- vowing to himself that his family would never struggle like this again. so he gave up on those writer dreams for something more practical.
he joined band in school to scratch that creative itch (something he found he was surprisingly good at) and threw himself into AP classes. when he was 15, his mom got a job offer in Crescent Harbor that came with a very nice pay raise. it eased the financial strain on the family which gave Ravi a few years of enjoying his youth without stressing SO much about the future. he joined a band, got a job at a bowling alley, and lived like a kid for the last few years of his high school career.
he obtained a masters in architecture and continued to meet up with the band all throughout college and beyond.Ā
after a particularly good gig, adrenaline was running high, and raviās bandmates (including bash, so u know) encouraged ravi to let loose a little and just have some fun.Ā
so ravi did just that, in the form of a one night stand. he was decidedly notĀ a one night stand kind of guy and called it a lesson learned and moved on with his life
a year and a half later, that one night came roaring back with devastating consequences. a baby, a little girl, with his eyes stared back at him and truthfully, the shock was so loud that he couldnāt remember anything her mother had to say outside of her name: stella. while grappling with his very sudden and very obtrusive new reality, ravi excused himself to catch his breath and grab something to drink. he left stella and her mother in his living room while he took more than a few very deep breaths. when he returned, he found she was gone, stella and several bags left behind.Ā
itās been six months since stella was unceremoniously dumped on him and itās been a Struggle. heās frazzled 99% of the time, but heās absolutely wrapped around her little fingerĀ
sheās also brought new life back to old dreams and ravi has started writing again. in his few seconds a day of free time
also personal hc is that he canāt afford to live in goldfinch, but an older couple who travels more than they donāt took pity on him and have rented out their house VERY cheap. he is forever grateful
connections
stellaās mother - (this will likely be posted as a wc, but iāll throw it out here anyway) obvs for the drama, iād like to explore why she left, why sheās back, custody drama, all the things
lil sister - all i know is that sheās his full sister and younger than him, will probably also be a wc at some point. but just throwing this one out here. gimme cute sibling/learning to be an aunt stuff
ex - so i had a few ideas about this one? and iām open to changing anything or hearing ideas. ravi has been in town since he was 15, so itās a pretty broad timeframe, but i was thinkingĀ maybe he was dating this person (or was even just starting to? or it was already reaching a natural end?) when stella came into his life and it complicated things too much and honestly, ravi couldnāt handle it.Ā
friends - all the friends! heās the responsible one in any group, usually, but heās not afraid to have some fun. after some encouragement. it went so well for him the last time
it takes a village - ravi is DROWNING in this single parent thing, but heās doing His Best. and he can (and will!) use all the help he can get. stella is almost a year and a half so sheās staring to get into EVERYTHING. help him
there are probably a ton of others but iāve never been good at this so??? just come @ me, iām down for everything!!!
