"oh my goodness, this is so embarrassing.." clare admitted out loud as she saw the firetruck pull up to the tree. she found herself in a bit of a tricky situation, simply trying to catch her cat who had ran away and up a tree.. turns out now they were both stuck. with her cat held safely in her arms, her eyes suddenly widened at the familiar figure standing at the foot of the tree. "uh-- do we know each other?" she asked from above, but of course she knew who that was-- a longtime crush from high school, but never expected to see them again. not expecting them to remember her, she wondered if she even should've mentioned it in the first place. / @blindspct

➪ CLARENCE WHITAKER

if you’re hearing ALONE by CAT BURNS playing, you have to know CLARENCE WHITAKER (THEY/HE; GENDERFLUID) is near by! the 27 year old FLORIST at STEM & STAMEN has been in town for, like, BASICALLY HIS ENTIRE LIFE. they’re known to be quite SELF- CENTERED, but being HARD- WORKING seems to balance that out. or maybe it’s the fact that they resemble EVAN MOCK. personally, i’d love to know more about them seeing as how they’ve got those NOSE ALWAYS IN A BOOK, CHARCOAL AND INK- STAINED HANDS, DARK EYELINER, TORN- UP BAND TEES and VINTAGE HORROR CINEMA SNOBBERY vibes. and maybe i’ll get my chance if i hang out around AVONLEA GARDENS long enough!

name: clarence "clare" whitaker

age: 27

d.o.b. & sign: september 29th, libra

occupation: florist at stem & stamen, freelance artist.

hometown: hemlock springs

gender identity & sexuality: genderfluid, bi.

relationship status: single, hopeless romantic (but quiet about it).

likes: scary movies, tea, working in their garden, the smell of acrylic paint, loud music.

dislikes: being disrespected/talked down to, seafood, minor inconveniences, sensationalized podcasts, gender norms.

CWs for mentions of parental / sibling death, car accidents.

The sad truth is, Clarence never really knew their parents. They know what happened to them, of course; he knows that they died when he was just a little kid, and that he had an older sister who died with them. He was raised by his grandmother after the accident and grew up in a house seemingly enshrined to their memories, from the pictures on the walls to the untouched bedrooms that the two of them simply didn't disturb. Their grandmother wasn't a terrible guardian. She loved them-- but she was deeply drowning in grief, and she never really seemed to recover from it. She'd get this sad look on her face when she looked at them for too long, patting their cheeks and telling them how much they looked like their mother, her daughter; or sometimes, more rarely, she'd comment on a trait she thought they might have inherited from their father. It was a strange feeling, living in the shadows of ghosts.

Clarence never had a particularly strong attachment to the concept of gender. It was pretty early on when he decided it seemed more like a construct of society than something he felt personally attached to, and he tends to alternate between feeling masculine, feminine, and removed from gender altogether. It's been a truth they've always been fairly apathetic about, not very picky about pronouns in general but happy so long as people alternate them. They've been out for as long as they can remember.

Growing up, he was always something of a wallflower: connecting with people has never been his forte. They're a lot more comfortable with their nose in a book and sticking to the sidelines. He excelled at school-- in another life, he could have been one of those kids skipping grades, graduating young and earning college credits before he was even out of high school. If they'd had the means, they could have gone to any ivy league. They're happy enough to have a BsC in botany from a community college, though, and perhaps their greatest passion in life is cultivating and caring for the various plants and flowers in their garden and greenhouse. In addition to their work at the shop, they run a little online store selling rare plants, and aside from that they have a deep- seated love for art, although that's more of a hobby than a job at this point, something he does to vent emotion and express himself.

Clarence's grandmother passed when he was twenty- three and left everything to him. The house, a modest little two bedroom, her little old lady car that he refuses to drive, everything, and most of it he didn't have the first clue what to do with. He's never been much of a partier, but he enjoys hosting friends for dinner (he likes cooking!) or garden parties or to watch movies. He falls under the ambivert umbrella- possessing more introvert tendencies, but they do need quality time with the people in their circle to keep from disintegrating into a sad pile of sludge.

Clarence enjoys a quiet life. They're a very tender soul, a good friend, a great listener, though they have to fight the urge to withdraw into their own little world sometimes. They're very dedicated to all of the things that they do, and if they're not posted up in front of an easel or sketchbook, working in their garden or the shop, they can be found catching a movie (and blogging their opinion about it), scrounging around bookstores, or cooking.

Not really a fan of Bridgerton, but I am a fan of Nicola Coughlan's response to everyone shitting on her for being "too big" to play a love interest
