^^^ this one
the original post is so bad for so many reasons
but the main thing is that it is very, very possible to be homeless and need help and still have access to a phone and/or the internet
please don’t listen to people like OP. make your own decisions about how to interact with this situation based on research. but do not listen to this kind of awful fear mongering from a literal 19 year old please<3

Mall AU scene setting balony.
Big post for the major characters (well. just my personal favorite characters) in my babychild Mall AU since I actually kinda wanna do more with it lol
The jobs & small descriptions of the other characters can be found in this post
NOTE: This is basically a collaborative effort AU bc of how goofy silly it is. If you have an idea (esp for the characters I clearly haven't/won't develop) shoot me an ask!!!! talk to me !!!! lets all have fun with this thing!!!
If you have maybe an idea for a ficlet (Like @anonymous-dentist 's series of knapity getting together (pt 1 / 2 / 3) just shoot me a dm abt the idea and ill help talk thru the concept to keep things at least a little consistent but I most likely won't say no!!!
- Set in a coastal town in Oregon (but a fake one. Like how Stephan King does it)
- Population is just slightly above “everyone knows everyone”, but everyone at least knows someone who knows someone you don’t know
- Aside from the beach, the mall is like the Big Attraction which is why so many people flock to work there as their first job
Quackity (Manager at Spencer’s)
- In the foster system most of his life after being taken away from his parents as a kid
- Bonded with Tubbo extremely fast and was honestly more of a parent to him than their actual foster parents
- Foster parents passed in an accident, after a month of confusing legal junk he & Tubbo were left a house on the oregon coast and Quackity was made Tubbo’s sole caregiver
- He was given a year (the length the house was prepaid off to) to prove he could be a reliable caregiver
- Met Schlatt a couple months into the move, the two started going out almost immediately
- Schlatt was very possessive and only let Q hang around people he “approved of” (those being Schlatt’s own friends, one of which being Wilbur)
- Despite the downhill of the relationship Schlatt was helping with payments on the house and keeping everything in order so Quackity could remain in care of Tubbo so Q kinda just put up with everything
- Two years into the relationship Schlatt ended up dying bc [bro idk he just dies i dont care enough to sort this out]
- Despite rarely seeing eye-to-eye, Wilbur was quick to step in and help Quackity find his footing. He offered him a job at the HT in the mall, but Quackity ended up getting the manager position at the Spencer’s through chance.
- Is still scarred and blinded in his left eye, but not as intensely. Got it from a less-than-ideal foster family prior to his one with Tubbo.
- Gets a new piercing every time there’s a crisis in his life
- A couple of tattoos here and there (Most significant are the golden wings on his back)
- Occasional stress smoker but not an addict
- Wasn’t actually aware poly was a thing before Sapnap & Karl came along
- Has psychosis but is slowly starting to manage it better
- Ossium is his pet Python, has a pet deathstalker scorpion as well
- Despite his complaining, he really does appreciate Sam’s parental-ish care for him since he’s not very used to the concept
Sapnap (Disney Store)
- Adopted by BBH when he was 8
- Met Dream and George when he was 10 and decided at that moment they would be his besties forever. He has very much held true to this.
- Eryn was adopted into the family when he was 12. He dedicated his life to caring for him.
- Ended up becoming pretty close with Wilbur bc of their brother’s friendship
- Is also just generally close with Tommy and hangs out with him a lot on their breaks
- Applied to work at Vans in the mall pretty much the second he turned 18
- Became the asst. manager like 7 months in
- Has abandonment anxiety so he likes to hold people’s hands a Lot
- Runs hot naturally
- Has a pet skunk named Sketchers that he got for free from some guy on the beach (stink gland removed)
- Proposes to Karl & Q daily. They’re not sure if he’s serious. (He is.)
- Does fencing + archery for fun
- Volunteers on weekends to help rehab ex-military dogs
- Drives a bright orange two door jeep wrangler
- Really good with kids and gets lots of compliments at the Disney Store
- Soft-banned (aka not actually banned, Hannah just gives him a mean look) from Yankee Candle for trying to steal something 
- Used to play drums in a band with D&G, still messes around on his kit sometimes
Karl (Manager at the Disney Store)
- Parents are important political figures of [fake New York city here]
- Book Nerd ! Book Nerd !
- Worked at a disney store in his hometown but a really good manager promotion led him to packing up and moving across the country
- Forcibly dragged Connor out with him so he’d have someone he knew there
- Lives almost basically on the beach
- Runs a tiktok page for his cat Rutabaga, has like 2M followers on it
- Overacessorizes to hell and back
- Slight kleptomaniac, quells this by taking Q & Sap’s clothes
- Major romantic
- Bites people (affectionately)
- Wants to open a library in the town someday
Wilbur (Manager at Hot Topic)
- Tommy’s bio older brother & main caretaker
- Rarely talks abt his own problems so he kinda just listens to everyone else’s
- Feels bad for Quackity so he never takes issues with letting Tubbo stay over if Q has to avoid spending money on other basic necessities to keep up with house payments
- Is very nosy but has a charm that kinda makes people wanna rant abt their problems to him
- Loves his HT job, is very bitter towards his friends who chose other places in the same damn mall to work instead of working with him
- Jokingly calls Phil ��dad”, unclear if him saying he’s twins with Techno is a joke or if he’s tricked himself into fully believing it despite to age gap
Tommy (Build-a-Bear)
- Started working at BaB when he wasn’t even old enough
- Sam just likes him a lot and fell victim to the puppy dog eyes
- Applied to the lego store first bc he wanted to work with Eryn. Refuses to shop there now after being rejected
- Barely ever actually in the store if he’s not on the clock. Loves bothering Sapnap specifically
- Unironically calls Phil dad but tells everything it’s totally ironic
- Doesn’t rlly gaf abt his lack of an actual parent and is cool with just having Wilbur around
- Rivalry with Dream that he’s not sure how it started but loves to encourage it
- Is also soft-banned from Yankee Candle
Tubbo (Manager of most of the food court places)
- Most of his life prior to moving to the town is a blur in his mind
- Kinda shuts out the past and just focuses on his happiness living with Quackity
- No one is sure how he ended up as the manager of most of the food court places. And he will never tell.
- Didn’t have a lot of chances to make friends before moving so he grips pretty tightly to the ones he has now
- Michael is a pig BaB he got with Ranboo
- Really wants to get a matching tattoo w/ Q
Charlie (Spencer’s)
- Didn’t have a huge plan for how his life was supposed to go so when Q called and said “my life sucks please move here”, he moved!
- Very charming loved by basically everyone
Sam (Manager at Build-a-Bear)
- Had a very lonely life for a while
- Was basically like a dad to a lot of people but never had someone to Truly care abt bc everyone always had someone else
- Met Q through Tommy and they got along pretty well from the start
- Sam could tell Q was going thru things just based on his behaviors so he started doting on him (asking if he’d eaten, constantly doing check-ins, driving him around if he felt too anxious to do so himself)
- Gave Q his old car
- Has a…. Thing. with Ponk and Foolish. No one can describe their Thing. No one dares try.
- Very particular about the way the store looks

hiii!! ok so i was thinking abt this au yesyerday and i was like “:O how cute would it be if lo and pat got married???” now idk if thats ever a thing theyd do but imagine them getting married and virgil throwing the flowers!! he could be the flower baby!!!! just imagine ro walking him down the aisle (to keep him safe bc hes the best big brother ever) while hes gently tossing lil flowers and giggling 🥺 yEs i know he cant walk well but lemme have this fjjjdksjdjdj -💚
okay i can't imagine this being a legal wedding BUT roman arranging a surprise garden wedding for them........
like little prince has been working on this for WEEKS since pat and lo essentially come out to the boys as dating each other
and he let baby vee in on it too! but only in the last week because he didnt want vee to spoil it but he really needed help making the decorations
actually this is the first time roman is little and virgil is big and they interact!! virgil is a bit anxious and stunted with little prince but essentially he just treats roman the same and its goes fine, it's actually easier to get along with him like this in some ways because when they're both big they just bicker
(before you ask yes i am writing a fic where virgil tries out caregiving and yes its as disasterous as romans attempts but in a different way)
when the day of the wedding comes roman convinces patton to leave baby vee with logan for a bit and roman sneakily offers to do pattons makeup
and after some pink glittery LOL surprise flavoured lip gloss and roman making a flower crown for his dad, he guides him into the garden - patton weakly argues that its too late to be playing outside because the sun is setting but really he cant deny that adorable smile on romans face
they get outside and patton is stunned because the patio is covered in origami flowers in all colours of the rainbow, and theres strings of them snaking up the gazebo railings and electric candles lining the pathway
and it all culminates in a large archway of intertwined branches and origami flowers at the end of the patio, framing the pink and orange sunset in the sky
'roman, sweetheart, this is gorgeous'
but patton hasnt got much more time to stand in awe because roman is pushing him eagerly to stand in the archway and then runs off. and patton doesnt think much of it - to be honest he's just amazed that roman had made all of this and takes out his phone to take lots of pictures of the wonderful scene
and then he hears logan's shocked voice: 'roman... what is the meaning of this?'
patton slips his phone back into his khakis pocket and turns back to see logan with virgil on his hip standing in the doorway
roman is smiling as wide as ever and looking between pat and lo and holding a basket of flower petals - on closer inspection later patton realises its torn pieces of the rainbow origami paper
and it doesn't click until roman is prying virgil's hand off of logan's shirt and pushing the basket into his hand despite the babys little whines 'vee come on, we talked about this. you need to be the flower boy!'
and suddenly pattons heart is in his throat and he looks up at logan who is redfaced and staring at him with wide eyes
but neither of them stop it
after a bit more coaxing from roman virgil takes the basket and roman shoves logans shoulder
'mom you gotta put him down you're not allowed up the aisle yet'
and logan is dumbfounded and just does as hes told, his eyes not leaving patton's face
and roman very very carefully walks his little brother down the aisle - it takes a while despite it only being about 20 feet of distance because virgil is wobbly, but roman is a very protective big brother and has a firm hold around his shoulders. he stops them every few steps and whispers to vee and with his other hand he helps vee pick some flower petals and throw them on the path
baby vee starts to get excited by the pretty colours and the fluttery petals and by the time they have reached patton everyone is smiling at the sweet giggles coming from the baby as he tips the basket over to make the rest of the petals fall onto patton's crocs
'what a sweet little flower bud' patton cooes and picks virgil up - the baby buries his face in papa's shoulder with a blush
'mom n-now now now now you gotta come down the the aisle!!' roman stutters, literally bouncing on his toes and squealing with excitement when logan chuckles with a blush and then takes the first step forward
patton could not be paid to look away from logan's begrudging pout which so so obviously tried to conceal his shy smile (and thoroughly failed)
it feels like minutes before logan reaches his side, but patton knows it can't be more than a few seconds
when they're standing next to each other with virgil on pattons hip and roman giggling with excitement in front of them in the archway, logan and patton get so shy and blushy
logans cheeks are red and he's smiling a little and can't quite meet pattons eyes
and patton is biting his lip to hide how it trembles and his eyes are wide and his belly is FULL of butterflies and he knows he might be swaying a bit too fast for the baby on his hip but he just cannot keep still
'dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to marry mommy and daddy,' roman said very formally. 'they're both really nice and fun and pretty and theyre the bestest. if anyone here objects to this, then you're dumb. *whispering* vee do you have the rings?'
patton looks down at the baby in his arms who pouts and whines and points at ro
'oh yeah i took them!' roman gasps, fumbling in the pocket of his shorts
patton and logan didn't know what they had been expecting - plastic toy rings perhaps? maybe even those haribo sweets? - but they definitely had no idea that roman would reveal two very real wedding rings, one gold, one silver
and then its very serious, its very tangible, it's very real
the caregivers look up to each other both with a question in their eyes: should we really do this?
and its the first time their eyes have met directly for more than half a second since logan appeared in the doorway
and as they gaze at each other the questions in their eyes fade and melt into soft adoration
they smile at each other and look back to roman expectantly
'do you mommy take daddy to be your morally wedded husband?'
'i do' logan says confidently, and patton has to remind himself to breathe
'do you daddy take mommy to be your logically wedded husband?'
'yes!' patton giggles quite hysterically, and has to reign himself in to manage a breathy 'i-i do!'
roman positively beams. 'eep!! th then i now pronounce you husbands!! Now n Now NOW KISS!!'
patton and logan grin at each other for a couple of seconds before logan gently eases pattons jaw up with gentle fingers and locks their lips. its an awkward position because patton is still mainly facing away from logan with virgil clinging onto his opposite side, but they dont care, the kiss is just as magical as every one they have ever shared and will ever share

STATS
full chinese name: jin ximen / americanized name: charles kim / nicknames: charlie / ethnicity: chinese & thai / sexuality: bisexual / occupation: true crime podcaster / spoken languages: mandarin, thai, english, korean & spanish / hogwarts house: slytherin
BIOGRAPHY
okie dokie so charlie ( born ximen ) is the youngest of the four kids between his parents born and riased in shanghai and their wedding was some big event bc both families were heavily affluent and prominent in their home countries
charlie’s dad hailed from shanghai, china where his family had a long lineage of old money and a 5 star international hotel chain that’s comparable to the four seasons .. meanwhile charlie’s mom is from thailand where her family has ties to the oil industry which is how they built their wealth .. their marriage was more political than anything and wanting to combine their wealth in industries the other was lacking in
as the youngest kid and the only boy with three older sisters, charlie never lacked a caregiver bc he was an adorable little boy who charmed whoever he met and though he was a little shit, his sisters loved him and helped raise him alongside a clan of nannies that his parents hired when they were busy off on different continents running their respective businesses
charlie definitely was more of a mommy’s boy in the sense that his mom made more of an effort to spend time with him bc as her only son, she held him on a pedestal and since she was a well known fashion designer, she often brought charlie to her studio and let him run wild in some of the garments and clothing that was in storage and whatnot
from this charlie had a lil mini modeling career ( lmao not really ) where he would do mock photoshoots with some of the models in his mom’s bridal collections and eventually bc he was adorable and everyone loved him, they dressed him in some mini tuxes and he appeared in some campaigns for his mom’s bridal collection 
generally though charlie was an exuberant kid who often had more energy than he knew what to do with and that often had him getting in trouble at the expensive prep school his parents had him enrolled in . which he frequently was scolded by his dad for his hellion behavior jdsklafjd
so it was a constant push and pull between charlie and his dad in trying to calm down his son .. which wyd he;s just a happy go lucky boy hsalkjf but anyway charlie was eventually enrolled in a soccer club so he could wear himself out by running all the time and tbh it kinda worked .. but also charlie actually enjoyed soccer so it worked out
his dad really thought he did something by keeping his teenage son out of trouble and letting him build teamwork skills ig ... mainly bc he wanted his only son to take over the jin empire of their hotel chain even though charlie was like :/ .. and his mom was a bit :/ bc she knew charlie wasn’t the type who would want the weight of this empire on his shoulders even though his oldest sister was more experienced
but fun times for dad bc lit it’s w his soccer friends that charlie realizes that whatever heterosexuality is .. that ain’t him sdjldkjs but yeah he finds out that he’s into guys just as much as he’s into girls and he has a crush on one of his best friends on the soccer team w him
charlie was able to disguise his crush as a solid bro friendship around his dad meanwhile him and his friend were leaning on the scale of more than friends and 10/10 were making out whenever they were alone so yeah ... things were swaggy for the first three months until charlie’s dad came home early from his trip from new york and walked into charlie’s room to see him fooling around with his friend
so yeah ... things didn’t go great after that and the jin household was so painfully tense where his dad refused to go on any international trips and kept a strong grip on charlie and pulled him out of his school’s soccer team .. it was a tough time and definitely miserable for charlie despite his mom’s best efforts to help soothe him
nearly a month following The Incident ( as he dad refers to it as ) he announced that 16 year old charlie was going to live with his aunt over in america and it was an absolute shit show at the house when his dad broke the news but the next day charlie found himself on a direct flight from shanghai to brindle bay where his aunt lives with her american husband and son
the move was a big adjustment for charlie and it was here that he started going by charlie bc the kids at his new school couldn’t pronounce ximen . originally he was a bit standoffish and reclusive bc his english was still shaky and he had an accent so this combination of things made him a target of some shitty xenophobic bullies and it put him down for a bit
it was a dark period that charlie doesn’t like to think back on and relied on the friendship he established with his cousin and it was through him that charlie began to blossom in brindle bay and make his own connections and realized that his dad is a dumbass bc he essentially sent him away for being into men but lmao !! sike dad !! bc now he gets to kiss boys if he wants without the rope around his neck from his dad
it’s been five years since charlie has been shipped to brindle bay and he keeps in contact with his sisters and mother and has visited shanghai a few times for some holidays and lets his dad think him being in america has helped him become more sensible and learn responsibility
when he graduated high school his mom offered to have him come home but charlie decided he wanted to stay more away from his dad for the time beginning and enrolled in college and got his degree in communication studies
it’s when he’s in school that he starts up his own podcast where he just discusses true crime and paranormal stories and such just bc it’s always been an interest of his .. he started it with his close friend that was his first Official friend in brindle bay and they’re two years into and it’s growing a strong listening base on spotify and apple music .. for comparison sake it’s a mix of buzzfeed unsolved and my favorite murder
but yeah overall charlie is an easy going guy who is usually seen with a smile on his face and just v fun loving , charismatic and loves talking to ppl ?? comes off v flirty but that’s just who he is bc he has that kinda vibe .. sometimes he doesn’t even realize he’s flirting bc it comes like breathing . he means well and is a soft boy who misses his family but is scared to go back home to china officially
WANTED CONNECTIONS
someone who helped show charlie around when he first came to brindle bay and maybe they built a friendship from it
someone who maybe helped him improve on his english when he first came to town and charlie is forever grateful to them and feels indebted to them for being there for him when he was self conscious and needed help
his first relationship .. p self explanatory but charlie and your muse dated for a bit and it was nice and sweet but things ended amicably between the two and they still remain friends
maybe one or two fwb’s that charlie respects their friendship and somehow their arrangement happened and things are going good and having someone on call when he’s feeling needy is a+ .. whether or not smth angsty can stem from this can be debated
his first friend that he made when coming to town and charlie’s podcast buddy !!
maybe someone who has a crush on charlie but he’s stupid and oblivious and his flirting that comes as easy as breathing doesn’t help the situation
a good influence
a bad influence who is helping charlie embrace more of his hellion ways hfskd
or even someone who knows of his family’s wealth back in china and is trying to finagle their way into charlie’s good graces and hopefully try to get a cut of it

Voltron season 2 thoughts!!!! (part one: things i wasn’t happy with)
overall, it was so good!!!! i missed these kids so hecking much!!!
things i didn’t like
the whole keith,,,allura thing like yikes
platonically there were some great moments!!! but like : |||
yeah uh what the fuck happened to allura’s character as a whole tho. like remember that post that was like ‘’hunk’s the mom and allura is the angry soldier aunt’’ kinda thing? why were there so many scenes of her being forced into these heteronormative bullshit caregiver type roles??? i just didnt like. 
okay again tho like she and keith are so much alike!!! both rash and hotheaded and would do anything to protect the ones they love and have this idea of ‘the greater good’ they’re working for and keith got so much development and was fleshed out SO WELL and allura got stuck left behind five billion times
also hunk got done so dirty y’all
like every time i thought we might get something real about him there was the obligatory food mention 
not that the chef part of him (or even his love for food!) is a bad thing!! but why is it ALWAYS so hyperfocused on??
AND THE TREETECH SCENE LIKE WHO THE FRALKC THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE HUNK LICK A FUCKING PIECE OF TECH INSTEAD OF GEEKING OUT W PIDGE???? like c’mon he may not have had the same connection as pidge, but he for sure as fuck would’ve been able to understand the general concepts behind everything
i’m actually gettin real sad thinking about this like wow why do they hate my perfect boy so much he’s done no wrong ever
like the only real scene i can remember was when lance was hyping up all his friends?? SO GOOD. v sad but ,, good. my son. 
okay also Keith complimenting hunk on his quick thinking and skill nd stuff i died how pure
except speaking of!! i didn’t actually really love the way that whole galra reveal went down 
there’s no actual reveal we just understand everyone else found out?? 
and allura’s conflict about galra vs paladins and where keith lands know would’ve been really cool to see
esp in regard to the other characters offering to talk w her about it?? I defs thought that scene with coran before the final battle might have been something like that because he’s obviously seen a time where alfor and the galra were united AND experienced the same loss and anger towards zarkon/galra now that he could’ve really offered a nuanced perspective -- giving us more allura/coran mentorship at the same time! ugh 
and who the actual fcuk made keith’s dad texan??? nd white????? i’m just
the mall scene where lance (LANCE!!) and pidge are literally in an e a r t h store and there’s not one instance of,,, homesickness???
like tbh lance missing his family was one of the only explicitly redeeming characteristics the writers gave us last season and this was a PERFECT set up. i could not stress PERFECT anymore. i just. i’m. sldkfjsldoire. instead he got a cow. 
sidenote where the heck did the cow go?? and was it named after one of the Blade members?????? 
AND A NOTHER THING!! sorry but in regards to lances family! 
what a wasted opportunity to not have lance (who misses his family the MOST) offer a bit of comfort/consolling to keith (who is trying hard to reconcile trusting and lowkey leading this new family of his with the one he never knew but might be evil???) ugh 
tbh this would be a good direction for them to lean into in the coming seasons bc how well does this lend itself to lance coming out as bi and mentioning his heritage y’know?? like having this part of you that you’re not sure how to tell anyone about but you’ve known its there and not being able to put a name to it and taking a long exhausting journey of self discovery and and and !!
lance in general being made to hit on literally every female 
especially allura pls stop this i’m begging you
the only way this could’ve been handled would have been in like a exasperated over the top sorry i was so insufferable before this kind of way
like there’s a perfect set up for a pickup line but lance doesn’t take it right away and then clues in and puts on a voice and makes it just like,,, silly!! because it came off as ridiculous anyways and there was no purpose or development there so why not just satirize it and have them share a grin to let everyone know there’s no intent behind it and they’re all in on the joke!! ughjkdfgr
that OR, #LETLANCEFLIRTWITHBOYS for fucks sake
if half of lance’s lines were directed to dudes this season the writers could’ve still emphasized this part of his character as much as i guess they thought they needed to but lance could’ve also progressed as a person a minuscule amount????? i’m tired
UM the hug scene and lance; what the fuck. everybody else gets a significant ‘this might be the last time we’re alive together’ goodbye and lance kisses a mouse. and cries. and does not once hug his best friend.......okay. 
also i get they were on a bit of a time limit but like, the way they kept just...telling us things instead of giving us the scenes??? it bugged me idk. like when allura is saying she thinks they’re all a family of themselves now like the only one to show that was lance??? one he thinks he doesn’t belong in btw. and i guess that scene before the fight when they’re discussing all the stuff they’ve done so far but she wasn’t really there so. idk idk it happened more than once tho that we were just to assume the team got updated/reunited/had a point of connection but we didnt get to actually see it y’know?
okay actually i’m gonna make a separate post for what i did like to keep the positivity and negativity separate. what did you guys think???

generally though charlie was an exuberant kid who often had more energy than he knew what to do with and that often had him getting in trouble at the expensive prep school his parents had him enrolled in . which he frequently was scolded by his dad for his hellion behavior jdsklafjd
so it was a constant push and pull between charlie and his dad in trying to calm down his son .. which wyd he;s just a happy go lucky boy hsalkjf but anyway charlie was eventually enrolled in a soccer club so he could wear himself out by running all the time and tbh it kinda worked .. but also charlie actually enjoyed soccer so it worked out
his dad really thought he did something by keeping his teenage son out of trouble and letting him build teamwork skills ig … mainly bc he wanted his only son to take over the jin empire of their hotel chain even though charlie was like :/ .. and his mom was a bit :/ bc she knew charlie wasn’t the type who would want the weight of this empire on his shoulders even though his oldest sister was more experienced
but fun times for dad bc lit it’s w his soccer friends that charlie realizes that whatever heterosexuality is .. that ain’t him sdjldkjs but yeah he finds out that he’s into guys just as much as he’s into girls and he has a crush on one of his best friends on the soccer team w him
charlie was able to disguise his crush as a solid bro friendship around his dad meanwhile him and his friend were leaning on the scale of more than friends and 10/10 were making out whenever they were alone so yeah … things were swaggy for the first three months until charlie’s dad came home early from his trip from new york and walked into charlie’s room to see him fooling around with his friend
so yeah … things didn’t go great after that and the jin household was so painfully tense where his dad refused to go on any international trips and kept a strong grip on charlie and pulled him out of his school’s soccer team .. it was a tough time and definitely miserable for charlie despite his mom’s best efforts to help soothe him
nearly a month following The Incident ( as he dad refers to it as )he announced that 16 year old charlie was going to live with his aunt over in america and it was an absolute shit show at the house when his dad broke the news but the next day charlie found himself on a direct flight from shanghai to brindle bay where his aunt lives with her american husband and son
the move was a big adjustment for charlie and it was here that he started going by charlie bc the kids at his new school couldn’t pronounce ximen . originally he was a bit standoffish and reclusive bc his english was still shaky and he had an accent so this combination of things made him a target of some shitty xenophobic bullies and it put him down for a bit
it was a dark period that charlie doesn’t like to think back on and relied on the friendship he established with his cousin and it was through him that charlie began to blossom in brindle bay and make his own connections and realized that his dad is a dumbass bc he essentially sent him away for being into men but lmao !! sike dad !! bc now he gets to kiss boys if he wants without the rope around his neck from his dad
it’s been five years since charlie has been shipped to brindle bay and he keeps in contact with his sisters and mother and has visited shanghai a few times for some holidays and lets his dad think him being in america has helped him become more sensible and learn responsibility
when he graduated high school his mom offered to have him come home but charlie decided he wanted to stay more away from his dad for the time beginning and enrolled in college and got his degree in communication studies
it’s when he’s in school that he starts up his own podcast where he just discusses true crime and paranormal stories and such just bc it’s always been an interest of his .. he started it with his close friend that was his first Official friend in brindle bay and they’re two years into and it’s growing a strong listening base on spotify and apple music .. for comparison sake it’s a mix of buzzfeed unsolved and my favorite murder
but yeah overall charlie is an easy going guy who is usually seen with a smile on his face and just v fun loving , charismatic and loves talking to ppl ?? comes off v flirty but that’s just who he is bc he has that kinda vibe .. sometimes he doesn’t even realize he’s flirting bc it comes like breathing . he means well and is a soft boy who misses his family but is scared to go back home to china officially
WANTED CONNECTIONS
someone who helped show charlie around when he first came to brindle bay and maybe they built a friendship from it
someone who maybe helped him improve on his english when he first came to town and charlie is forever grateful to them and feels indebted to them for being there for him when he was self conscious and needed help
his first relationship .. p self explanatory but charlie and your muse dated for a bit and it was nice and sweet but things ended amicably between the two and they still remain friends
maybe one or two fwb’s that charlie respects their friendship and somehow their arrangement happened and things are going good and having someone on call when he’s feeling needy is a+ .. whether or not smth angsty can stem from this can be debated
his first friend that he made when coming to town and charlie’s podcast buddy !!
maybe someone who has a crush on charlie but he’s stupid and oblivious and his flirting that comes as easy as breathing doesn’t help the situation
a good influence ... helps charlie be a lil bit of a demon
a bad influence who is helping charlie embrace more of his hellion ways hfskd
or even someone who knows of his family’s wealth back in china and is trying to finagle their way into charlie’s good graces and hopefully try to get a cut of it
