[mihai-florescu]

Miya and Koyomi friendship headcanons because @spicygrass is writing a fanfic with them and I'm obsessed:

-after Koyomi nails her first ollie, Miya takes her to Joe's restaurant to celebrate and that's when she meets him and Cherry for the first time. It becomes a ritual to come to the restaurant every time she learns a new trick.

-Koyomi gets into spirituality, tarot and crystals. Miya doesn't know if he believes, but he'll let her read his palm and pull tarot cards for him. Koyomi gave him a protective necklace that he wears under any shirt now.

-Koyomi's not much of a gamer, but Miya gets her a Switch as a birthday gift so they can be friends in Animal Crossing

-they have a shared Spotify playlist. Miya introduces her to hyperpop and Koyomi shows him old 2014 tumblr music (think Marina and the Diamonds, Melanie Martinez, Arctic Monkeys, etc)

-Koyomi has painted Miya's nails at some point and he only agreed to it if she'd let him do her hair and makeup and go out like this (not with any malitious intent though, he genuinely wanted to try it out).

-Cherry helps them both with highschool entrance exams, and most of the time it happens at a table in the back of Joe's restaurant.

updated intro / 25/09/20

Is that JACK FIELDING? Wow, they do look a lot like VAN MCCANN. I hear HE is an NINETEEN year old FRESHMEN who are studying AEROSPACE ENGINEERING  at Luxor University. Word is they are an ARISTOCRAT student. You should watch out because they can be PHILOPHOBIC and INSINCERE, but on the bright side they can also be WITTY and IMAGINATIVE. Ultimately, you’ll get to see it all for yourself. [YUNI, 20, GMT, SHE/HER]

hello to anyone who has yet 2 be cursed w my presence in their dms, i am yuni and this is  an updated intro for my demon boi jack! this one is a lilll bit more in depth but not to worry there is a tl;dr at the end ion expect u to read this. feel free to dm me if you would like to plot!

Negative Traits: Philophobic, disloyal, insincere, callous

Description

The first side most people see of Jack is the side he wants you to see. A total asshole. It’s not an exaggeration - he’s pretty much infamous for flirting with everyone, dating anyone and as a serial cheater. He’ll actively try to worm his way into your life, and then just when you start to care, he does something to hurt you. He’s strangely persistent, probably helping him to push people even further, until they snap. There is nothing which satisfies him more than managing to wind people up to the extreme, get them to the point where they give up. Adopted parents, friends, nobody is immune to this side - he even tries it on the people he genuinely cares about, as if just to see if he’ll still be able to push them away.

The second side, which most people don’t see, is that at heart Jack is a kid. He’s the type of person to ask if owls have ears at 3am, or get some childlike joy out of dumb jokes. Of course, this is the side nobody but a very small number of people see. And even if you do see it, it never lasts long. He keeps his true personality under wraps even amongst those he does like, and it only slips out if he’s extremely comfortable with you. Otherwise, he’ll go straight back to being a sarcastic, flirty piece of shit.

04: PAST

Biography: 

Jackson Kelly was born in a council estate in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, in the UK. His life prior to adoption is not something he routinely talks about, but that’s mostly because he’d rather not give people reasons to pity him: his mother, 15 when she gave birth to him, was a drug addict; he has no idea who his birth father is or was, and no inclination to find out. Jack’s first ten years of life pretty much fell into the same cycle: get put into foster care, his mother would get clean and take him back, and then the cycle would repeat. But when the cycle ended when he was ten, and he was removed from his mother’s care for good, he wasn’t ready for it to end yet.

Sure, she wasn’t the best parent. But she was his mother. Jack quickly developed a reputation for running away, always found back at the same place. Foster parent after foster parent always ended up returning him, unable to cope with his rebellious tendencies and the constant hunt for him after he had run. As he aged, he only became better at avoiding being found. It practically became a game to him, a way for him to entertain himself. So when a wealthy American heiress and her British CEO husband decided that  of all people, they wanted to foster a now thirteen year old Jack, social workers almost wanted to ask if they’d misspoke. (Jack had assumed it was a practical joke.)

Claire and George, his new “parents,” were patient. They said he didn’t have to call them mum or dad, that even after they officially adopted him two years later he could keep his own surname, that they just wanted him to be happy. They moved him to a better school, got a private tutor to make up for lost time, tried to take an interest in his favourite things. But that wasn’t enough for Jack. Eventually, the situation resulted in drastic measures: a rainy afternoon with a social worker being told that Claire wanted to move the family to her birthplace of New York, and send Jack to the school she had attended many years prior. A fresh start would be better for him, they said. As if Jack didn’t know the real reason. He couldn’t run away if he was thousands of miles away.

And that was how a fifteen year old Jack made his way to Carnifex, with absolutely no change to his desire to wreak havoc or to his somewhat disturbing attitude towards other people. Therapists paid for by his adopted parents might say he was pushing people away to manifest emotions about neglect in early life; Jack would just say that he was keeping things interesting. Either way, the next couple years of his life escaped past him, and before he knew it he was in a school office, being told that his birth mother had died.

Obviously, Claire and George freaked, as if he would do anything. Pulled him out of school for a month, flew him back to England for the funeral, and practically wrapped Jack in bubble wrap like he was a baby or something. All he wanted to do was go back to school, ignore the guilt he felt in his stomach for letting them take him away, and go back to what he did best.

Timeline: 

December 4 2001 - Jackson Noel Kelly is born in Sheffield.

2005 - Jack is removed from his mother’s care for the first time. He is frequently removed from her care and then placed back in it for the next seven years of his life. 

2012 - Jack is removed from his mother’s custody permanently and placed in a temporary foster home. He bounces through foster homes for the next few years, including one where he meets Caitriona and becomes close with her. 

2014 - Jack is fostered by Claire and George. He resists any attempt for them to get close to him, and continues to act out. 

December 2016 - Jack is legally adopted by Claire and George, acquiring US citizenship, although he does not change his surname. 

January 2017 - Jack attempts suicide. He is placed in therapy and plans are made for his relocation to the US. 

March 2017 - Claire and George move back to America, taking Jack with them. He begins attending Carnifex. He continues to visit the UK regularly to visit his birth mother, who he keeps in contact with. 

April 2020 - Jack’s birth mother dies. He immediately disappears from school for a month, without telling anyone where he went. 

May 2020 - Jack returns to Luxor. It’s later accidentally blurted out mid fight with Zander that his mother is dead. 

June 2020 - Jack graduates and Leo tells the school Jack attempted suicide. 

September 2020 - Jack legally changes his surname from his birth name - Kelly - to his adopted parents surname, Fielding. 

December 2020 - Zander and Ches spread posters around claiming that Jack is HIV positive and gave it to Balo. They don’t provide any proof for this allegation, and Jack continues to deny it.

(These are the events ur character would probs vaguely know about!!! Anything else is personal info so they wouldn’t know unless Jack explicitly told them. Feel free to ask me if you’re ever unsure if something is ic knowledge or not!) 

05: OTHER TRIVIA

- He has a fairly strong Yorkshire accent which is obviously something other characters would likely notice when interacting with him. So if he uses words you don’t know it’s safe to assume he’s just being his dumb British self so you are free to have your character question the meaning/not know. (LMK if you’re unsure tho!)

- His favourite band is Oasis (closely followed by Arctic Monkeys), favourite film is Fight Club,  go to drink is either a double vodka coke or a pint of Heineken, and his favourite place is Leadmill in Sheffield because it’s where he’s seen some bands (and fucked girls in the bathroom. Such a romantic.)

- Dyslexic, but if you mention it Jack will fight you, although it’s partially why he leans more toward math based subjects where his spelling ability is irrelevant. 

- Notoriously has a thing for redheads, although that doesn’t prevent him from being crude and sexual towards anyone he happens to meet or interact with.

- Chain smokes anything he can get his ratty little hands on (cigarettes, weed, meh) so expect him to smell of ciggies 24/7. 

- Diehard supporter of Sheffield United and insists there is no better football team even though they really suck

- Weetabix, Weetabix, Weetabix 

06: NOTABLE CONNECTIONS

Within Luxor:

- Friendships: Caitriona, Balo, Avery, Zai, Oakley, Lennon

- Former Relationships: Oakley Prescott 

- Current Relationship: Juliet McCoy

NPCS

- Claire Richardson Fielding & George Fielding: Jack’s adopted parents, who just want to love him despite him being terrible to them. 

- Lauren Kelly: His birth mother, who he misses a lot. 

- Violet Richardson: Claire’s mother, who for some reason adores Jack and considers him her favourite grandchild. Meaning Jack will probably inherit everything when she dies, although he doesn’t really think about that. 

- Emily French: His ex girlfriend from back home, also known as the only girl who Jack truly cared about before Juliet. She broke up with Jack for being too toxic, which although fair, fucked him up for a little bit. Not that he’d admit it. 

07: CONNECTION IDEAS/WCS

Exes (Lots)

Jack has a habit of dating people, dropping them as soon as feelings get involved, cheating on them, and generally being an asshole. So if you want an ex for your muse… yeah.

Enemies

Again, he tends to happily mess with as many people as he possibly can. So he’s probably gotten on the wrong side of at least a couple people.

Friends (fake or real)

Like when he dates, he tends to get close to people before ditching them or screwing with them. So people who think they’re his friends but who aren’t really as close as they think are very welcome. I’m also down to have a couple people who can be the few he genuinely cares about.

08: TL;DR

If you already knew Jack at Luxor:

Little has changed! He’s the same manipulative dick as ever except that he has legally changed his surname. Your characters are tots fine to comment on the change, it’s not a secret or anything. 

If this is your unfortunate first experience with Jack: 

Jack is manipulative, crude, outright insulting, and nasty. He enjoys nothing more than messing with people, and often acts friendly initially just to hurt you later. He is British, adopted, and I call him rat man.

Get To Know Me

rules: answer the questions below, to the best of your ability, and tag those you’d like to get to know! I was tagged by the sweet, amasing @riverbabes — she’s one of my favourite mutuals, so go and please check out her blog. 😘

nicknames: Mila is already a shortening of my name, but…I used to be called The Beast all through-out middle- and much of high-school because I was a fucking scary kid, okay. Bullies trembled in fear before my right hook. 

height: 179cm or 5′10

time now: 01:51

birthday: july 6th 

favourite artists: Fleetwood Mac, The Bravery, The Black Keys, Sea Wolf, The Nationals, The Killers, Birdy, Marina & The Diamonds, Arctic Monkeys, Bastille, Lykke Li, Panic! At The Disco, Tegan & Sara, oh, man, the list goes on and on. 

song(s) stuck in my head: Outgrow Me by StiB Rick and Morty [x] — it’s a fanmade song made for JelloApocalypse on YouTube. 

favourite song (playlist) right now: Whispers II album by Passenger [x]. 

last movie I watched: La Belle et la Bête, the 1946 version.

last show I watched: latest episodes of Brooklyn Nine Nine. 

when did you create your blog: I created strix around 2014, but then I dropped off the face of the internet for two years, so let’s just say I started it in later 2016. 

what do you post: oh, fuck, what don’t I post? But I basically “shitpost and aesthetic and fandom at the same time”, which includes, but is not limited to: A Song of Ice and Fire, Sansa Stark Deserves Better, Jonsa, Bughead, Jughead Jones Does Not Deserve This Crap, Sprousehart, Stranger Things, Mileven, I jumped onto the Star Wars Hype train, Reylo, Brooklyn Nine Nine, Harry Potter, and a lot of other things. 

last thing I googled: …castrated tomcats. But only because my sister had a wild idea that my very-much-female cat is secretly a tomcat because the breeder hasn’t yet provided me with her castration documentation and because she latched onto the word castrated — as if the word doesn’t apply to both feline sexes. Okay, that was FMI for tumblr. …then again, this is tumblr.

do you have any other blogs: too many, guys, too many, and unlikely you guys will be interested in any aside from @riverdalemeta — a blog I’m one of the four administrators for. 

do you get asks: genuine asks? once in a blue moon, yes. trolls sending me anon messages? like, twelve average per day. I said this before: it’s the price I pay for having an S and an X in my handle. 

why did you choose your url: this something I answered before, but…

strix (pl. striges or strixes), in the mythology of classical antiquity, was a bird of ill omen, the product of metamorphosis, that fed on human flesh and blood. It also referred to witches and related maleficent folkloric beings. In Antoninus Liberalis’s Metamorphoses, Polyphonte became a strix “that cries by night, without food or drink, with head below and tips of feet above, a harbinger of war and civil strife to men.” 

this info on wiki was legit why I chose the handle.

…oh, and strix is also a genus of owls that looks like they would like to consume your soul. 

following: 403 

followers: 289 

favourite colours: a variety of shades of blue and light-pink, although my clothing is almost uniformly black. 

average hours of sleep a night: I variate between 4-7 hours and sleeping for entire days. Spoons man, never have enough spoons. 

lucky number: Don’t have one. I have the shittiest luck. Call me a Stark and give me a direwolf because universe is pissing all over my life, I swear. 

what are you wearing now: a pair of sleeping shorts and a pastel-green t-shirt — I’m in my pyjamas. 

how many blankets do you sleep with: one goose-feather blanket. It’s pretty warm considering I keep my room in practically sub-zero levels of cold. 

dream trip: Travelling to Prague to study the city’s architecture and its history. *le sigh* 

favourite foods: chocolate, gluten-free cereal with bananas. 

nationality: British.
