“i love you, it’s ruining my life”

WHERE MY ARCANE SWIFTIES ATT

Teddy is my very rough move over of John as a full OC. Basically, his personality is still John, but moreso what I made of him, of course. So most of my major John headcanons moved over to Teddy. With me working on LiP as it's own thing, it only made sense for me to finally make the shift. I could take my ideas and run with them, without being restricted to wanting to keep it making sense for John.

A couple of notes:

- Full name is Theodore Sullivan

- Born July 1st, 1932(1), somewhere in California

- 5'10

- Chainsmoker

- went to Princeton for his Journalism Degree, and it's what he does for a living

- working at some small newspaper when him and Frances met

- he never joins the C.*.A, never was approached, would never want to

- still goes to war but as a War Correspondent

- where he'd meet Andy and Kik (keeping my stories all distantly connected)

- Further in his progressive views than John

- Middle Class, leaner on Upper (maybe lower Upper Class, is a better descriptor)

- Only Child

- Awful Relationship with father, turbulent one with mother

- Raised in heavy Catholic home, now is an Atheist

- He's gay, and begun dating Frances as a way to cover it up, they hit it off and thought she was the most ideal idea of a "perfect wife."

- it doesn't last, a mixture of Frances figuring out, and Dante coming back into her life

- They spend some time apart but ultimately reconnect as close friends. Frances still leans on him which Teddy likes, he hated when Frances was out of his life. He wants her to still have him as a rock, and them to be close. Which they do get to be, and even closer than before with no more heavy barriers

- Also likes the Lake

-his best childhood memories are at his families home on the lake.

- was a Swimmer and played Water Polo in Uni and prior

- He's sarcastic and an asshole, he's definitely an acquired taste

- everyone in Frances' life was very surprised she went for a guy like this, very different than who she'd normally pick.

- he's painfully himself, not lightening his words nor does he shy away from what he means.

- though he does know how to reel that in, he very much saves that for when he needs to.

- Guy who loves going on long tangents
