So, I don’t think it’s much of a surprise to anyone ooc that Sébastien has a major drug problem - particularly cocaine. It’s something he has managed to keep away from the public view for his entire career, with the exception of a few close colleagues and several slip-ups during his studies in university. The problem is that every time he gets ‘caught’, he learns from that mistake and becomes better at hiding it.

✯ @thinkjclena PRESENTS A NEW CAREER TEMPLATE PACK!

This pack is more geared towards Beauty related professions such as a Personal Stylist or Makeup Artist, but some of these templates can be used for any other profession too if tweaked. 

There's an Appointment Reminder Template, 4 Business Card Templates (the last two are in the form of a webpage) , a Calendar Appointment Scheduler, Client Look Breakdown Template (which is trash in my opinion lmao), 2 Stylist Profile Templates (one is modeled after a fashion styling website),  and a Stylist User Reviews Page Template. I put a lot of energy into making these so if you found them helpful in any way, please like or reblog this post. Enjoy! 

[ ❣ | DL ]

The Appointment Reminder template can be used to show client bookings. Visual provided under the cut. 

The Calendar Scheduler Template can be used to showcase a current booked work calendar. Everything is labeled to adjust with each month. Visual provided under the cut.

The Client Look Breakdown template can be used for makeup artists or hairstylists to provide the products used on one specific client. It's really much more simple than it sounds. Visual provided under the cut.

The thing is with these two, is that (at least on Sébastien’s behalf) to the outside world their whole friendship is shroud in secrecy. It heavily relies on it to survive in its current state. Sure, Sébastien can tell people that he’s friends with Ethan and no one would really raise an eyebrow -- a hotshot lawyer from a family of East Side royalty is friends with a British MP, son of former DPM? It’s almost laughably predictable. But the devil is in the details.

As many high-functioning addicts with untreated mental health problems (and despite all attempts to suppress it) Sébastien harbours a deep fear of going off his rocker. His mental health is constantly teetering on the edge of stability and a complete loss of control, and it’s a see-saw ride that makes life almost unbearable without self-medication. 

Even though he swears to everyone, including himself, that he’s got things under control and that he knows exactly what he’s going, there is that nagging voice in his mind that insists everything can go extremely wrong at any given moment. Sébastien isn’t ignorant of many people who have walked his path and ended up in disastrous situations; if not ending up in legal or social controversies, then suffering due to health reasons (read: overdosing). He’s well aware that his behaviour has a consistent pattern of self-destruction, and that he could always be just one bad day from fucking it all up. Being closely acquainted with the mafia (especially their dealers), he’s seen first hand how his habits can destroy a person’s life, but partially due to pride, he proclaims it would never happen to him. 

A ‘secret’ of sorts that he probably won’t even admit to a psychologist is that he genuinely wouldn’t care if his parents died. Worse off yet is that this complete apathy is a relatively new development stemming from a childhood and adolescence of fantasizing, in the privacy of his own mind, about their passing, and being quite happy in that make-believe world. 

Whilst he never imagined himself as the direct cause of their death, he would often daydream about them getting into some sort of devastating accident that would result in both of them dying. In the same manner one would daydream about future careers or romantic aspirations, Sébastien would play out, in his head, his reaction to when the police would come into the dorms to inform him about the tragic, undue demise of his parents, how the funeral would go about, and what he would do after all that happened. He was well aware of how morbid it was, but with no other outlet for his problems, this was his only form of escapism.
