With: Rowan Lister,  @okiewrites​

After meeting while Rowan had been fleeing a boring date, Theo and Rowan had become fast friends and then some. However, Theo’s reluctance to ever even think of dating again after what his sister had done to terrorize his ex-girlfriend had plagued him since she had literally moved out of the entire state. Rowan, on the other hand, was a different story. They both shared the life of being part of families that were more focused on the look rather than the love that could be given. So he felt as if the holidays happened to almost be the perfect time to invite her up to the house to kind of mingle with everyone who mattered (to him, at least). They had hung out plenty of times before and of course evading their families had been a pretty big theme of their get togethers. This change of pace was a bit different. Theo, of course, had lightly disguised his invite to her as an excuse for her to avoid her family while he had to be with his but she’d make it less of a nightmare. 

Theo had invited Rowan over pre-party time in order to quell his anxiety about the entire thing, hoping that maybe Rowan meeting his family beforehand would make it better. So while he waited for her arrival he found himself rummaging around in various boxes to pull out family photos. Rarely was there a photo of them all together at any stage of life around the house - even when his mother still lived there - so the holidays were an exception. However, now that the divorce had been final for years it had become Theo’s job to set out photos. He hadn’t necessarily been told to do this... but he did anyway as it made things feel normal even though it was deeply abnormal.

When the doorbell rung he scrambled up from off the floor and was nearly knocked over by an excited Great Dane who rushed to stare through the door at the visitor. He took a moment to breathe before opening the door with one hand and grabbing Summer’s collar with the other, pulling her back from trampling Rowan at the door. “Hey,” he said with a grin, “You ready to get into some bullshit tonight?”

1. all time favorite fc?

Hmm this is tough but I have a couple, Nina Dobrev, I always seem to go back to her, Melissa Benoist I just love playing her so much. Sebastian Stan as well if I was to choose a male. 

3. a fc you wish had more resources?

Oh Oh, Rebecca Breeds for sure and Dan Levy for sure! 

best experience you’ve had in a rp?

I have had a few so I am going to mention 2, one being when I used to be in this roleplay called charltonuniversity it was just the best time and I always enjoyed coming in and getting to develop my characters and I was definitely sad when it shut down. And probably recently with tupelohq i have meet quite a few of my writing partners on here from there and I loved it and everyone there was always so nice and i never felt ignored once.

biggest rp pet peeve?

being ignored, not really with replies ( i understand things get lost and or people just dont feel like they can continue threads thats fine) but when you are in an ooc blog and you get ignored when you say something or like ask about plotting and you get ignored and then an admin messages you moaning that you’re not trying to rp or plot with others when you are and you have also replied to everyone in the group. (yes its based on a specific rp).

do you make your rp buddies your friends, or is it strictly writing?

I like to think of them as friends as I usually feel like I can talk to them even if its not about rping. 

do you make playlists for your characters?

I don’t but I feel like I want to now that I see this question, so might start doing that for sure.
