gcrgiawalkcr​:

Between hours in trailers or on set behind a camera locked away somewhere, Georgia was desperate to find her way to the craft services table. She was starting to feel the stress of it all get to her. The premiere was well on its way, she had her boss breathing down her neck… sooner or later, she was going to crack. But until that happened, she decided to do the next best thing: snack on pre-cut veggies and chips and salsa as she ran through the unfinished items on her to-do list yet again. 

That was… until she was interrupted. Georgia froze in her spot, stick of celery in mid-crunch between her teeth. She turned around to see Charlotte, finished her bite, took a deep breath, and offered the woman the best smile that she could muster. It was a tired one… but it was probably better than how she’d look if she didn’t even attempt to hide how she was feeling. “Hey, Char,” she started. Good. That was good. At least she wasn’t forgetting names. “I mean, I think that kind of depends. On a few things – like how the show unfolds, press appearances, any promos that we need you to do… your social media presence. But you should always have time to dedicate to your hobbies every now and then. Why? Looking forward to stardom already?”

Exhaustion was evident on every trace of Georgia - as much as they were being pushed around like sheep, corralled from one place to the next and filming their ‘lives’ in between press duties - she couldn’t imagine the pressure on the producers. If she failed out of this, she could go home - back to Virginia, or back to Louisiana, or anywhere else, really. Her future didn’t hinge on how marketable her face was, but Georgia’s did. 

“I doubt stardom will come,” she said with an easy smile, grabbing a few carrot sticks to munch on as they chatted, “but I do miss painting. That was part of why I joined, you know - I’ve been in a rut for a little while, I was hoping the experiences would push me out of my comfort zone enough to inspire me again.” The problem was, really, that Charlotte didn’t exactly have a comfort zone to be pushed out of. She was already willing to do almost anything at least once. “Are you okay?” she asked, her voice lowering just a bit - she was sure her producer couldn’t exactly confide in her, but Charlotte had never been one to care about rules before. “You look exhausted. Anything I can do to make your life easier?”

charlotte jackson - thirty one, star of solaris bay reality show.                        confessions : week one.

[ producer ] what brought you to solaris bay? what made you stay in solaris bay?

[ charlotte ] boredom, to be honest. [ charlotte laughs, flipping her long locks over her shoulder as she leans closer, as if she’s telling a secret. ] my best friend told me i was in a rut - and i was. i’m too young and too hot to be tied down to a life so domestic, you know? i mean, once upon a time i figured i’d already have a litter of my own by now - but i don’t. i’m not even close. so why not work on a boardwalk and share a mansion with other hot people? you only live once, right? 

[ producer ] how has the documentary katerina, and the subsequent MTV reality show solaris bay impacted your day to day life? do you have positive or negative feelings regarding them?

[ charlotte ] i gotta admit, true crime was never my oeuvre. i had to look it up when people started tweeting at me asking if i’d seen her - i had no idea who she was or what they were talking about! don’t get me wrong, i am deeply sorry for the tragedy this town and that family endured - but tragedies like this happen all the time, all over the world. let’s be really honest with ourselves - that documentary was made because she was a rich white girl and the world loves to profit off of them. 

as for the show, well - [ another easy laugh, her nose crinkling in amusement as she does ] - i think it’s safe to say that’s changed everything about my life. i miss my family, and i miss my students - and really, i miss being able to hop on a flight and go somewhere on a whim - but this is something that i never thought i’d do in a million years. i don’t know what’s going to happen when i go back to my [ holding up her hands to produce air quotes as she speaks ] quote unquote real life, but i do know that it’s definitely been changed. whether it’s for the better or not is yet to be seen. 

[ producer ] if you had just one moment of time to speak to millions, what would you say? would you want to use it as a platform to advocate for others, or for yourself?

[ charlotte ] i mean, technically, i’ve got a lot of moment’s, don’t i? too many, in fact. it’s kind of overwhelming. i want to try and use my platform to advocate for others - there’s nothing i need to profit from - but i’m also trying to just have fun. it’s reality tv. i’m not thinking too deeply about what’s happening and how it’s happening, y’know? it’s like... [ she takes a deep breath, pinching the bridge of her nose ] yeah, i could sit here and make a big long presentation about how this is vapid and wasting air waves and brain cells, but people wanna escape. if i can help them with that, why not? it’s the same type of thing i do with my art, y’know? 

[ producer ] what made you come into the confessional today? do you plan on checking to see if this will be aired, either on the television show or on the web extras?

[ charlotte ] besides the fact that it’s in my contract to do so? [ a smirk, though not as large as her flirtatious smile, braces her lips. ] i’m just going where i’m told most days. if they say ‘go to the beach’, i do. if they say ‘work at the boardwalk’, i do. i’ve never had a problem with authority, so taking direction is pretty easy for me. as long as i have a decent amount of time in the sun and a margarita waiting for me at the end of the night, i’m pretty amicable. as for the show - i still haven’t decided if i want to see what they portray me as. i figure my sisters will watch and tell me how i appear - two of them in amazement, one of them in disdain. 

[ producer ] if you could change one thing about solaris bay, what would it be?

[ charlotte ] this seems close to a political stance, and i won’t lie to you, that all overwhelms me - a lot. i tend to panic and shut down. i’m not the kinda girl to think about the big changes the world needs, not outside of casual conversation or overhearing my youngest sister or my father talk about all their ideas for it. i’m not the jackson who thinks about change. i just want to make things prettier than they were when i got there. hopefully i can manage to do that here, too.

closed starter @gcrgiawalkcr​

the preparations for the premier were well underway, even as most of the castmates lounged away their final days of relative anonymity on the beach or in the pool. sure, some of them had their faces plastered across billboards - her sister had texted her a picture from los angeles, where charlotte and maya’s faces were pressed against one anothers for a promotional billboard she’d seen on her way to her own photoshoot - but charlotte was still, for now, a non-being. a no one. 

she’d probably still be one after this was all done, too. 

that was okay with her; she wasn’t here for fame ( relative ) or fortune ( who needed it? ). she was there for the fun of it, for the experience. 

the only problem was, it seemed to have been hindering her ability to paint. bad. 

“hey boss,” charlotte greeted when she finally managed to nab georgia away from her producerly duties for a few minutes - she liked her producer, though she knew a lot of the others didn’t like their own, and she was glad she could joke around with her fairly easily. “what are the chances i’ll get more time to just kinda...be, when all this starts airing? i’m itching to get a paintbrush in my hand, and preferably on canvas - not someone’s body this time around, even if it was kinda fun.” 

[jacksoncharlotte]

open starter / @solarisstarters monday, august 30th - premier party. charlotte breaks free. 

for the past eight months, charlotte hadn’t had a single moment of privacy. there were always cameras watching - when she ate, when she slept, when she showered. she had given up any illusion of having a quiet moment to herself in favor of doing something crazy - of doing something wild. 

it wasn’t that she regretted it - by all means, charlotte loved the house, the people, the chaos that swirled around her day in and day out. she’d never been one for quiet anyways, not really, and there’d never been a secret she’d been able to keep. she was there, with her best friend, her face glowing at her from the screen on the beach - her voice echoing around her, her body shown off to cheers and laughter as she stripped down to hop into the ocean her first day. it was surreal, watching memories unfold in front of her life this - how they had tweaked, manipulated, made it worth watching. 

she just needed a moment. 

she squeezed maya’s hand, telling her she was looking for a restroom, but for the first time in as long as she could remember, a camera wasn’t on her, and she dipped under the ropes that surrounded their little party and found herself darting up onto the boardwalk, blending in with the people that were staring in avid fascination at the mtv blast put on display for everyone to watch, envious or awestruck or annoyed though they might be. 

charlotte needed some fucking cheese nips. 

“how far is the closest gas station?” she asked the first person who might not have noticed her face kept flashing on the screen beyond them. “i don’t have a car with me, can i walk there?”

meet charlotte jackson  // welcome to solaris bay.

                                       the basics //

full name : charlotte angelica jackson  birthdate & zodiac : march 11th, 1990 & pisces age range : 31 gender & pronouns : female & she/her sexuality : bisexual occupation : former high school art teacher, current cast member of solaris bay on mtv hometown : natchitoches, louisiana family : find post here ; charles jackson ( father ), cynthia jackson ( mother ), christopher ( older brother ), connor ( older brother ), caroline ( older sister ), chloe ( younger sister ), clara ( younger sister ), carson ( younger brother ), courtney ( younger sister )

                                      deeper dive //

hobbies :                  art - charlotte’s been an artist since the day she was born; she’s never met a creative project she doesn’t enjoy, and has tackled various forms and mediums over the year. her preference is painting, and while her style can vary from surreal to highly realistic, she prefers to paint a vague mixture of the humans around her in their natural state, unknowingly being put on her canvas.                  traveling - though the jackson family was large, vacations were always essential, and especially once she left home for college, she began traveling the world. her favorite place is still the mediterranean areas of europe - greece, specifically - for the colors, the culture and the food.                  dancing - an active person by nature, charlotte isn’t one to stick to an exercise routine. instead, she tends to keep active by going out to clubs and concerts, dancing and screaming along to any and all kinds of music. screamo, punk, country, rap - whatever it is, she wants to be in the middle of it all. she took ballet with her older sister caroline for years, until she started cheerleading in high school - nowadaways, though, it’s primarily done alone in her living room or in a bar of some sort with a local band.                  social media - a person with charlotte’s charisma and ability to make friends needs an easy way to keep in touch with everyone; social media has been an outlet for her for years. she has a carefully curated website where she sells her art, but also includes pictures from her travels and updates about her various adventures. 

favorites :                  food - cheese nips. they’re her go to when she’s stressed and / or upset. just give her a box so she can nibble and panic in peace.                  drink - coffee. iced, hot, lukewarm, it doesn’t matter. she just loves her coffee.                  movie - her all time favorite is life as we know it, but she enjoys romantic comedies/dramadies more than anything else.                   song - asking her what her favorite song is is like asking her to pick a favorite color; it depends on the day, her mood, the moment. ultimately, if she had to choose one, it would be one of these nights by the eagles - a favorite of her mothers that the all the siblings liked to chime in with back home in louisianna.                   color - there’s no way for her to pick an ultimate favorite, though she tends to favor bright colors or jewel tones. she favors hues of blue, purple and green, but adores every shade of color for it’s own reason.  habits :                cigarettes [ socially ] / alcohol [ socially ] / drug use [ socially ]                  nervous ticks include licking her lips, tightening her hair ( if it’s up ) and not blinking for an unnecessary amount of time. she also chews on her cuticles and rubs the inside of her wrist with her thumb when she’s very stressed out.  loves :                   coffee, tacos, paint, people, kids, love!, new adventures, chili, being around family, loud music, vinyl records, the smell of paint, people watching, airplanes, airports, backpacks, animals of all kinds, the sun, emojis, the beach, ripped jeans, dessert, chocolate, and whoever’s caught her eye at the moment 😉 fears :

                 never finding love, never settling down, losing her family and loved ones, the store being out of cheese nips and bugs with more than six legs talents :                  art ( drawing / painting primarily ), connecting with others, directions

                                      appearance //

height : 5′7 tattoos : none because she could never choose something permeant, but she constantly draws on herself and others with sharpies scars : too many. one on her lip ( caroline slamming the door on her face, age 6 ), one from breaking her leg ( age 12, cheerleading ), various burns from cooking and forgetting pot holders, various scratches from petting something that Did Not Want To be Pet. piercings : ears ( three each - usually a mixture of hoops, studs and dangling earrings worn ), navel ( usually a cute charm she’s found ) and nose piercing ( small stud )  hair : dark brown, long. she primarily starts the day with her hair down, but throws it into a messy bun or  ponytail before too long because it gets in her way. for nice events, she’ll curl it or put it into an elegant style. she also favors braids and changing her hairstyle three times throughout the day, as she fiddles with it whenever she’s anxious. fashion :               personal - a little bit of everything. her mood changes day to day - sometimes she loves dresses, sometimes skirts, sometimes loose teeshirts, sometimes something low cut or too short or too tight. her closet is overfilled with clothing she’s had for years, borrowed ( stolen ) from former significant others and various friends, and she loves to shop at the thrift store. for mtv, specifically, they’ve chosen clothes that tend to highlight her long legs or her chest, often times both - she spends most days in a bikini and short shorts around the house, and can often be seen stripping without qualms to who’s around.               shoes - charlotte hates shoes. she’ll take them off the second she can, no matter where she is. that being said, if she has to, it’s usually sneakers ( converse or keds ), or heels if she has to dress up. she has a few pairs of flats that get mostly ignored. she loves wedges in the summer and boots in the winter but if it was up to her, she’d wear None.

                                      biography //

charlotte angelica jackson was born fourth to a tired nurse and a up and coming politician. an old family from an old town in louisianna, she wasn’t even the last one to arrive - after herself, there were four more children to come, leaving charlotte smack dab in the middle. 

it was a trend that would continue on in her life; she loved being in the midst of chaos and crowds, never feeling the pressure some of her other siblings did to be at the center of things. she was just as content to be alone in the room she shared with her older sister, caroline, drawing in her sketch pads and listening to the cd’s she’d steal from her brother christopher’s room.  even with eight children, the jackson family was a tight knit group, checking in even as they started heading off to college and exploring the world around them. charlotte headed to georgia for her college years, where she met the woman who’d become her closest confidante and best friend - an honorary sister, almost, if they hadn’t each had some already. maya merrick was bubbly and fun, a little spoiled like she was, and the two were like two peas in a pod - where one went, so did the other.  but charlotte found herself a job in virginia, close enough to an airport to flee at a moment’s notice when maya beckoned, but with a steady enough schedule to keep charlotte grounded. teaching art at the high school was something she found she was good at - her students loved her, and she loved them, and the hours still allowed her to indulge in her own passions, selling her work online and creating a small and quiet, but happy life for a few years.  reaching her thirties, though, seemed to unlock something inside of her - she was practically domesticated, and while she still hadn’t found The One ( not for lack of trying ), she suddenly felt like she’d lost her twenties to responsibilities and bills instead of chaos and parties. applying for a reality show was the absolute last thing anyone expected of her, but she and maya worked on their tape together, hoping the appeal of two attractive, worldly best friends might appeal to the executives at mtv.  it took auditions, testings, sometimes even complete isolation while they waited to hear whether they were going to make the next steps or not - but eventually they were selected, and charlotte bid adieu to her students for the time being, packing up her life and heading to the shores of new jersey.  the world hasn’t seen charlotte on screen just yet, and she’s a little nervous about how the reception will be taken - she knows herself well enough to know what stereotype she’ll be pigeonholed into, the flirty space cadet who can’t keep her clothes on and seduces anyone who smiles in her direction - but she hopes those that she had to leave behind to take on this adventure don’t judge her too harshly for anything she’s done.  after all, it’s television. everyone has a part to play, and charlotte’s merely glad to kick off her 30s with a new version of herself than anyone has ever seen before. 

[jacksoncharlotte]

So deep that it didn’t even bleed and catch me, So deep that I didn’t even scream fuck me. I’ll be just fine Pretending I’m not. I’m far from lonely And it’s all that I’ve got.
