terrible blurby intro

also gonna keep this short too wehsdkfnmcx

mateo was the spoiled youngest child of a family of very wealthy people. his life was comfortable, and then all of a sudden his beautiful facade broke. 

mateo as the youngest wasn’t privy to information as to what his parents and older brothers did. and to this day he doesn’t have the exact information, all he knows is that his father is in prison for drug embezzlement, his brother is on the verge of losing his lawyer license and his life crumbled. 

with the last little bit of money being shoved into his hands, mateo was shunned from the family as he was the only untainted one with no knowledge of it, he was made to move quickly to bluebell, change his last name and never discuss it.  

he’s always been a clean kid, he’s never once touched hard drugs, just the occasional weed. he’s confused and lost honestly. 

he’s also very quiet, was very vocal back in the day but now he’s alone for the first time in his life after being surrounded by people all his life. so he’s also bitter and a little aggressive because he can’t even tell people why he’s so mad considering his family is super disgraced rn. 

why bluebell? WC, he met a girl somewhere in the world and they were young and had a fling. most likely a summer fling and mateo was an awful boyfriend, he probably cheated and she left him and a couple months later informed him she was pregnant. he hasn’t had physical contact with his child until now and even now he’s very ready to be involved in his child’s life but hesitant because he’s such a massive child too. prob not gonna work on this one much until i have the WC filled

terrible blurby plot ideas

friends: probably ppl he met either while they were shopping at the bookstore or the club or really anywhere. he’s super outgoing even with his tough exterior

roommates: rlly however many. he’s v low on money and honestly HATES sharing 

hookups/fwb: p self explanatory. they could be reoccuring or not, he’s pretty much numbing the pain. he’s gay!

people he suggests books to: this is pretty much anyone that steps into the shop, but these particular people he’d go out of his way to find them the perfect read. 

terrible blurby intro

hellooooo gonna keep this short & sweet! but hi i am m!! 

welcome to teddy. so tl;dr version bc am extremely lazy tonight... he was 4 when his parents perished in a fire. he’s been terrified of it ever since. teddy got out of the house unharmed but the house burned as did his parents (rip). he doesn’t like to talk about it at allll. this was all in brighton, england, the place of his birth. 

after that he had to move to only available family which was his grandmother in bluebell! in bluebell she gave him a happy life and he almost got over not having a family. 

bluebell was a wholesome town that welcome him in a big hug and he just.. he loves it. he’s never left and has no intentions to.

he was 16 when he got his first job as a dishwasher at fancie’s and worked his way up to line cook and eventually he bought it out. so now he owns the fanciest restaurant in town and ofc he’s a chef so there’s fire but like batman , he was conquered his fear to contain it when he’s in control.

he’s got a huge heart and wants to be there for everyone at all times, but isn’t the best at communicating his own feelings

is alwaysssss down for drinks and a chat and platonic cuddles hell yeah 

he’s a biG CUDDLY TEDDY BEAR he just wants to fix the world. is alwayssss willing to cook like 10/10 will cook anything you want him to. 

owning the restaurant is still fairly new (~1 year) and so he’s still a crazy workaholic and ends up working all the time even if he doesn’t need to

he lives in the house he grew up in, it’s a little old lady home... like he hasn’t decorated it at alll since his grandma passed. he also has his childhood cat tonkie who is... rather old but still kicking around. 

terrible blurby plot ideas

childhood friends: anyone close in age that would’ve grown up in bluebell and known teddy from school or anything y’know. he hasn’t attended church since his grandma passed but y’know, it’s just something we can plot out

coworkers: either hired by him or prior! he’ll be the best boss tbh 

brunch buds: yoga and brunch dates on sunday???? pls. bottomless mimosas here he comessss

exes: he’s a pretty deep lover so most relationships would be on the longer side and would have not worked for a variety of reasons. he’s pansexual!!

ONE TERRIBLE REALLY TOXIC EX: we can plot this out but really just, awful ex. they’re awful to each other i don’t even think they’re bad people but it just turned bad  by the end of it. MAYBE THEY WERE FIANCES idk we’ll figure it out okay

lil sibling: just someone that teddy can fuss over and take care of because he’s such a giver 

cat walking friend: yes, teddy’s the type to walk his cat because he has social anxiety and tonkie has to come with him. so like!! some other crazy cat person to do this with him 

failed dates: maybe they went on a string of casual dates and just stopped talking for no reason?

 Alice was born and raised in Sussex, UK. Her parents were famous mobster in the UK;

 Alice always wanted to be like her parents, but they always hid their side job from her. And she spent during her childhood being overly protected, in case the rivals from her parents want to do any damage to her.

 Her parents have always taught her to be more analytical than talkative and so her private, somewhat secretive ways have followed her since childhood;

She lost both her grandfather at the age of 15, during a hit and run;

This is when she started to get use drugs, alcohol excessively. However, she wasn't addicted, she stopped once seek for help to a specialist in this topic.

Olly is basically an e-boy, there I said it. no but really, he’s a indie rock musician who writes songs about drugs and his broken heart a lot.

Sometimes he wears guy liner, you can call him out on it. I don’t mind.

Music is his number one love, followed by sex and anything that chills him the hell out. He’s not big on uppers like cocaine, and finds that it makes him paranoid and angry. Xanax and alcohol are probably his biggest addictions.

He’s pansexual and a notorious flirt.

Olly sings, plays the guitar, and skateboards. He’s a prime douche of the year 2004. Basically an Avril Lavigne love interest, ya feel?

His band is mildly successful.

Olly has in Bluebell for about 10 years.

Mentally ill, so he self medicates so he won’t always be a sad boy.
