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   !

younger brother .

younger sister .

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 .

post 10 facts about yourself and pass it on to 10 faves ⊂( ´ ▽ ` )⊃

ais.. you sweetie, you. thank you.

i wrote a book for an english class that apparently was so good in the 6th grade that the teacher thought it was plagiarism, and as such it didn’t get made into a book & just stayed as my hand drawn, paper back, shabby stapled draft. no man no, that book was of my making and now my absolute cringe. idk tho, it’s still pretty cool i did that good it could be mistaken for being copied from some awesome writer lmao. i think that was my writing peak.

i had to get my tooth pulled bc i got a cavity. i thought i was ok with it, i just laid there and felt the dentist yanking my head around (i have good roots, I’m told? and we couldn’t get a filling bc we don’t have the money. i would have liked one and i still want one bc now my life kind of SUCKS when I eat on that side now) and thanked him after. guess what? not cool with it as i thought despite me going in with a numb-do attitude and coming out the same. i’ve been having hella fuckin nightmares regarding all my teeth falling out or being pulled out ever since then. pls tag your tooth horror bc apparently WHILE I’M NOT FAZED MY BRAIN IS LIKE “FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK-” still.

i love halloween. october is my favorite month of the year. fall is my favorte. i love al the creepy and spooky shit that comes with it. my favorite, my aesthetic, my love. i wish i was born in october but, alas. :/

horror is my shit. i’ve been raised on it, literally raised on it. my dad introduced me to it when I was a baby and I still love it so lmao. i love watching it, reading it and rping it. it’s my life blood. 

the first time I made my own costume for Halloween was when I actually dressed up as my own character long ago. I was a killer nurse named Alice and I was smeared with the perfect amount of carnage and bloody handprints on my stockings, shoes and dress; even added a gripped hand print to my shoulder for a nice touch. I went all out with that thing and I think I still have my cap around here somewhere. I actually scared a man half to death on the street in the dark with it lmao. peak trick or treat memory. 

i once trick-or-treated my town so hard I got a legit trash bag full of candy that lasted me for months. I kept it all in an empty bottm drawer. eventually some of it got bad and I had to chunk it, but damn man, that was my year for candy. and it might still explain why I’m just chill w/ the prospect of getting candy instead of getting pumped for it fdsgkg.

believe it or not, i am half latina. i wish i knew spanish, but I don’t feel that bad abt it because my mom grew up speakin spanish but has lost contact with it along the way and she’s like “no sweat it”. still, our language is pretty and i am hella proud of our heritage, always have been. I make a lot of my ocs after my own bc of it too, man. here’s a few! forgive the mess, i’m better with writing my ocs than writing about tem.

i call ppl ‘pumpkin’ as a term of endearment but now i’m wondering if i should stoppppp? paranoia has me thinking people might think i’m being sarcastic or somethin. :[

i have severe chronic depression. life fuckin sucks. sorry for the poor blog activity; been without my meds for weeks now and it’s killin me gently. one odd thing i’ve noted about depression is how i gravitate towards games like “The Long Dark” and could lose hours in it. hours, man. it’s peaceful, it’s quiet, it’s survival. some of the mechanics suck ass but it’s a good game still for the depression-adled mind. idk why. well, i kind of do. 

i love vampires & mermaids. all of my rp characters get both a vampire verse & a mermaid verse, and jessica is in the works of getting both. i don’t care if it makes sense or not, no one is spared from these verses. c: ♥ these two fictional creatures rule my life.i wish there were cool games out concerned around them, man. a real good vampire simulator would be a dream for me tbh, bu until then,i just have to make do with the heavily modded skyrim i got that crashes every 10 minutes... seriously, someone out there pls make an amazing vampire life simulator. I LOVE VAMPIRES.

das me. I have no idea who wants to do this or not tho, so I feel too self conscious to send it out? if you see this on your dash and read through it, congrats, you’ve been tagged. you read my bs and stuck around to the bottom of this post!  //shot. i know, i’m bad @ these.
