          ⥽  people  were  on  edge;  almost  everybody  and  their  MOTHER  could  tell  you  that.  not  many  people  were  lingering  the  campus,  or  any  of  the  other  places.  sitting  quietly  with  the  school’s  news - letter  in  the  holloway  library,  he  turns  to  one  of  the  few  people  sharing  the  space.  ❝  shit  is  FUCKED,  huh  ??  ❞

Sitting at the bar Asher kept throwing beer back like it was nothing. Not only did he have to attend school all day and try not to tell the professors how idiotic they sound, he also had to deal with his family. A big event was going on not far from the school, so he had to be there. Ordering another drink he tried to ignore the loud sequels from the people next to him, “Could you keep it down” he shot out sternly. He understood he was at a bar where people come to have fun, but he didn’t care. Anywhere he was he felt as if it is his property.

          ⥽  with  a  couple  of  friends  on  his  arm  and  enjoying  the  night,  somebody  is  immediately  trying  to  dampen  their  lively  mood.  sure,  maybe  they  were  being  a  LITTLE  rambunctious  but...  nobody  had  complained  yet.  turning  to  look  at  the  perpetrator,  salem’s  brows  knit  together  as  he  shakes  his  head.  ❝  no,  i  don’t  think  i  WILL.  ❞

I don’t understand “dark academia” if it’s dark where you’re studying just turn on the lights?

“oh fuck…” the ginger breathed out, quickly ducking behind a tree before a desperate gaze falls onto the person beside him, “hey! so like…my asshole of an ex-boyfriend is here. think we can pretend we’re dating for a few minutes? i wanna make the son of a bitch jealous.”

          ⥽  salem  takes  their  role  VERY  seriously,  a  smile  immediately  etching  onto  the  other’s  face  at  the  request.  ❝  why,  i’d  be  pleased  as  p u n c h  to  help  ya’  out.  ❞  salem  immediately  laces  their  fingers  in  his  own,  pulling  the  ginger  into  his  side.  ❝  babe  !  did  you  wanna  go  and  get  a  drink  ?  you’re  looking  pretty  parched.  ❞  salem  raises  their  voice  enough  for  the  ex - boyfriend  to  hear  them,  catching  their  gaze  and  offering  a  charming  smile.

[ ooc: opossum. 18. she/they & est. ]

salem was raised by his grandmother due to his parents dying in a car accident pretty young. he didn’t get to know them, but he wishes he did. they were both detectives with a love for cold cases. his mother was a sucker for the salem witch trials; and thus that’s how salem got their name. 

from what he’s learned from his grandma, his parents were always on the move. living out of a backpack and traveling from place to place. they were private detectives that liked to deal with the supernatural ( think ed and lorraine warren ), and his grandmother has a lot of their creepy knick - knacks from their findings in her house

from a young age, salem loved to soak up knowledge. they loved reading every book their hands could get on, and watching crime docs or reading true crime books was how their days were spent.

salem was a very smart and bright kid, excelling greatly in his academics. he graduated high school with honours and as his classes valedictorian. it was very easy to like salem, pretty much everybody in the school was his friend. he was the kind of person you could easily strike up a conversation with while you sit together awkwardly in the library together, and he’d make you feel at ease because of that. we all knew that kind of kid in our school

despite being a great kid with tons of dreams, salem had their own demons. struggling with an eating disorder and a deep depression, salem honestly didn’t even think they’d make it to the end of high school. 

but their push was in their grandmother, and she was what gave salem the strength to keep going; especially when she started to get sicker. salem knew he had to get his shit together, it was like a slap in the face by reality.

and so salem strived and he strived for a scholarship here to holloway. his grandmother told him he could never do it, that it seemed insane to even try. but he got the scholarship, and with a little bit of money in his pocket, he resides in keating house. but he likes to bring joy to all of his dormmates and the entire campus. pushing his demons down and keeping that persona for the cameras.

 he had never been outside of fargo, and so leaving home was... super scary. it was more than scary, actually. downright terrifying. but his grandmother hushed him and held him, and told him she would always be with him. and she was always just a cellphone call away

salem owns a bunch of those weird baseball caps. like the ‘women want me, fish fear me’ ‘bigfoot is real and he tried to eat my ass’ ‘in dog years, i’m dead’ he LOVES collecting them. he’s got a hat for every occasion

speaking of bigfoot, salem is a hug believer in shit like that. aliens, cryptids, ghosts—EVERYTHING. moth - man is his boyfriend

he’s got the energy of shane madej from buzzfeed unsolved ( ahem where is his ryan bergara ??? )

he’s currently studying criminology and hopes to one day be a forensic science technician 

when the m*rders started happening here, salem took it upon himself to start investigating shit. he wants to get to the bottom of all of this and it just !! intrigues him so much. he hopes he can make his parents proud of him by showing interest in this kind of stuff

he has a bearded dragon named chibs, because he’s a sucker for sons of anarchy. they love that show so damn much

sends a lot of his money back home to his grandma, and works as a barista at the local coffee shop on his off - days

also likes to play volleyball in the warm seasons, and hockey in the cold seasons. can get a bit competitive if you play against him or with him. takes everything a little too seriously

LOVES to make impulse buys. that’s how he got all his damn baseball caps

travels across campus with his trusty skateboard, you can never ever see them without it tbh

obsessed with this girl in my bio class who always brings a full litre bottle of coke to every lesson, today she said “im just genuinely not a nice person” to my bio teacher when he asked her why she swore so much. In year eleven before one of our gcse exams as we were lining up outside the exam hall she came up to me and said “what exam is this” and when i told her physics she said “yeah i think i can do that” and got in line
