☾ ▹ ° ⋅ aaron tveit / thirty - five / cis male ; have you had the chance to meet gabriel crowley ? he has lived in old sprigg for thirty years , gaining a reputation for being quite intrepid , romantic , tragicomic & tenebrous . this pansexual gemini can be found around the clover and he works as a lawyer & playwright . most people tend to associate them with expensive shirts undone at the throat and rolled up to the forearms , and the passenger seat of a well - loved car piled with reusable coffee cups , half - scribbled drafts and case briefs alike .

this was meant to go up earlier but i fell asleep and then my laptop decided to reboot itself and i lost all my progress and i kind of had a breakdown over it . anyways ! i’m vanya , i’m 20 , i’m writing from aest / hell , and i tend to use she/they pns . i’m the world’s worst law student , so catch me whipping up lengthy emotional responses when i’m meant to be writing letters of advice n whatnot ! this is the first of two intros , so bear w me --- - but without further ado , here’s the loml , gabe !

so , gabriel is from a pretty prominent family in old sprigg --- - they’ve been living there for generations , and lay claim to a mom and pop convenience store in the centre of town . the crowleys aren’t wealthy wealthy , but they are comfortable ( which is what rich people say , but whatever ) . he’s the oldest of his five siblings ( wcs that i’ll probs pop in later , oops ) and the responsibility of taking care of the shop has fallen to his younger sister .

just for reference , the family structure is below ! they range from 35, obvs, to 27 . they were all born in quite quick succession . bold indicates twins !

growing up , he was quick to assume responsibility and play the protective older brother --- - he helped get lunches ready in the morning , helped cook dinner , helped look after the younger four ; he adapted well to the responsibility . he’s always been quite mature in that respect , always choosing to go home and help with the younger kids than to go out and party and whatnot .

throughout his childhood , he showed incredible promise with language . he was a keen reader , and developed a taste for classic literature early on . his teachers understood that and responded to it well , and fostered that love . by the time he was in fourth grade , he was being sent off to do much more advanced work . he’s maintained this love for literature and language --- - an entire room in his house is dedicated to all of his books . ( he’s formed his own little library , and he’s not mad about it . )

somewhere in high school , he was introduced to the possibility of doing law , and fell head over heels . there was something about its innate intricacies , the interweaving of theory and language and cleverness that spoke to his soul . he started discussing the idea with his parents , who jumped at the idea of having a lawyer in the family again ( bc who the fuck wouldn’t ) --- - they eventually decided on a university in kansas city , and before he even realised it , he was applying .

he moved out of the family home at eighteen , car loaded with boxes and heart full of sorrow and the inexplicable joy of what was to come . he can’t say he’s sorry for leaving , but he will admit that it was hard . living in such a close - knit , beautiful family , you get very attached to the people around you and having to leave is a pain like no other . ( he drove home every chance he could , brought books and records for his younger siblings to swap around , told stories of university life with only a touch of embellishment , bc no one wants to hear another story abt how you stayed home on friday night rereading the iliad again . )

he pretty much cruised through uni on high marks , tbh . in his latter years he became a tutor and peer mentor , but he pretty much stuck to himself for most of his time there . he dabbled in theatre arts , stage managed and starred in a few shows , but for the most part he stuck to his own guns and got through uni the way he wanted to . it’s here that he starts drafting ideas for his own plays , but he doesn’t take them too seriously . he tends to write them as a detox from writing legal essays , and his first ones aren’t great but they get better and better as time goes on .

after he graduated with first class honours , gabe started looking for work and after a month of relative unemployment ( there was a whole lot of greasy takeout and near - teary breakdowns experienced that month ) , he got the job of an absolute lifetime --- - working as a legal assistant in a firm in new york city . he didn’t hesitate about taking that job .

new york wasn’t quite what it was cracked up to be . the rent on his apartment was exorbitant , moments of peace and quiet were transitory , he was overworked and underpaid , but there was still something about it that appealed to him like nothing else . he’d save his change and go see broadway shows when he could , fell in love with everything about the theatre . note that his burgenoning love for theatre didn’t replace his love for the law --- - it merely grew out of the same place , that same love for language and literature that drove him into law .

he ended up working in new york for about five years before deciding to pack it in and move back to old sprigg . there’d been a job opening back home and he was starting to feel the urge to return home --- so five years ago , he packed up his car again and made the long trip back home . he doesn’t regret leaving new york , not at all . he’d made quite the success story of himself there , and it’s not like he couldn’t just travel back and forth for big cases . the firm was reticent to let their ‘ hotshot little attorney ’ go , but it’s been the best thing for him .

he’s been back for five years now . he bought a house relatively close to his parents and siblings , and has since established a small business offering legal advice and taking on distance cases . he travels back and forth , but he loves it regardless . he’s adopted three dogs and a cat , all of whom insist on sleeping in the bed --- - gabe gets the smallest sliver of bed , naturally . he’s written two plays ( both of which have been published ) and he’s starting work on the third one now .

idk he’s just happier in old sprigg than he ever was in nyc and he deserves that

style inspirations: spencer reid , the tenth doctor . it’s a lot of expensive dress shirts and scuffed - up sneakers . when he’s actually in court , he’ll dress quite professionally but when he’s not , he’ll keep the nice shirts and swap everything else out for worn jeans and converse in varying colours . occasionally , we’ll get a knitted scarf .

exhales ... big on saving the environment . turns up to convenience stores with canvas bags in tow , has a reusable coffee cup for every mood , tries to make as little waste as humanly possible . he’s slowly weaning himself off of meat , and he won’t go fully vegan , but he’s doing his best to avoid meat and dairy . ( yes , he saw greta thunberg’s tedtalk and promptly felt guilty and started making changes . )

used to smoke , because it was a social thing in the firm he worked at in nyc . since he’s moved back , he’s quit . he’ll have one a week if he feels the need .

he did a few shows in high school and university . he’s got a fuckin beautiful voice , and if you walk by at the right time , you can catch him singing to himself and his dogs while making breakfast .

he jogs , bc of fucking course he does .

talks with his hands a lot . doesn’t know where he gets it from .

holds a regular saturday night movie marathon at his house for friends and family , and seeing as fall is approaching it’s gonna be halloween movies from now on . he’s a sucker for a good horror movie .

angelic in every way , shape n form . thank u .
