#plot w me.

-done extensive research on heroin and proceeded 2 do as much research as i could on flakka fuckin ivy -created an arms-dealing soccer mom rip (rip jate rip chob) fuckin kate (rip) -created a character who’s going 2 oh no i cant tell!!!!!! not yet!!!!! but it gotta do w brian wazowski fuckin olivia -probs more i’ve done a lot i’ve spent half my life here p much ok im proud buT THIS IS GONNA BE SOME WEIRD SHIT LEGGO

so “richard” was born vince buccini 2 what is quite clearly an italian family and was basically brought up w this “if ur not successful ur not anything” mentality

so he tried 2 be a success in any way he could think of. ofc he was yung at first so he tried 2 be a sports dude he tried out theater (which his dad disapproved of bc he thought it was #gay and he was #homophobic so that wasn’t a ‘success’) and he tried out basically anything u could think of that could..... bop him 2 the top

thru this he developed an extensive amount of #buddies bc u kno he basically did everything (whether he did it well or not didnt rly matter) and he wanted #friends so he had #friends

buT LMAO that all went 2 hell when he was 18 and applied for harvard law bc “bE A SUCCESS UR NOTHING IF U DONT SUCCEED AND SO FAR U SUCK AT P MUCH EVERYTHING”

obvs he didn’t get in. lit what were u expecting???

so this hELLA MINUSCULE detail was the pushing point for his dad bc his dad is??/was?? an asshole and when vince was 18 he was disowned #cruel #savage #whatifhebecameasuccessafter #justlookatstevejobs

so this drove him down a v bad road and he made #terrible decisions sorta like ivy but not as grand like he wasnt shooting heroin up every three hours lmao buT HE WAS MAKING TERRIBLE DECISIONS 

he abandoned all his buddies and went 2 vegas for a few years 2 escape #thatbrightonlyf and got drunk and hooked up w prostitutes p much every night

oK SO FAST-FORWARD!!!!!!! the night he decided he would return 2 brighton for the first time eVER 2 give his dad a piece of his mind u kno he got hella drunk and probs had fuckin whiskey in his car

yikES!!!!! he’s the drunk driver who cost suki of her memory #nice way 2 go

NOW SCRATCH ALL OF THAT BC IT ESSENTIALLY DOESNT EVEN MATTER

after the crash he suffered p severe brain injury and lost every memory he had u kno similar 2 what happened 2 suki bUT WAIT FOR IT

he developed giovanni’s mirror syndrome nOT 2 BE CONFUSED W MIRROR SYNDROME HE’S NOT A PREGNANT WOMAN

there have only been three documented cases of this like it’s hella rare but who knows maybe therE WERE MORE UNDOCUMENTED either way i want brighton 2 look into the mirror bc

basically he has no sense of self he literally doesnt kno who he is and clings onto whatever trait the person he’s with/was last with is/was showing

he also doesnt kno his name and goes by the last name of the last person he talked 2 (idk how nixon came about just enjoy it)

aS FOR BRIGHTON

this #1: means he’s going 2 start mimicking everyone’s behavior. if he ever met olivia he would be so frustrated (and ready 2 kill a man) if he responded 2 sunni’s starter he’d act just as conflicted if he replied 2 kai’s starter he’d probs be like “we’d find the coolest stuff!!!! and ghostbusters was awesome!!!!” even if he’d never seen it if he replied 2 finn’s he’d basically act hella “B-/” etc etc etc u get the point

this #2: means he’s gonna take on whoever’s name he last heard. this includes females. this also includes names like ‘gunwoo’ and ‘suki’ and ‘moonbin.’ sry. until someone acts like him he’s gonna adopt the name and personality of whoever he last talked 2.

this #3: means he’ll pick up the personality and name of whoever the strongest personality in a room is. ofc there arent exactly 3/4/5/etc-way starters buT U GET THE POINT

this #4: means anyone who had a connection w vince......... will probs be v confused when he introduces himself as “richard nixon” and starts acting like said connection

that’s the only solid connection i have
