#so like. when inspo strikes n all that oof

[dyketectivecomics]

I don't know if Tumblr ate my dialogue prompt/book ends ask or not from a week or so ago but just to be on the safe side I wanted to let you know I did send one in! If you're still working on it there is absolutely no rush!!! I'm just checking in because Tumblr tends to eat my asks a lot. Hope you are well!!

I got u bro! Ye I’ve got ur ask sitting right here in my box!! There’s a few requests that have been sitting here a little longer than it & I try to hit my asks on First Come First Served as much as possible (but it all def depends on when inspo strikes too and when I have time. All those stars aligning n what not yknow how it is!)

But I appreciate asks like this, checking in & progress checks for accountability just make me go 🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏💕🙏

[MAYBE BY LEWIS CAPALDI] plays in my head whenever i think of them. can’t wait to see them around springhill! 

Ah, hieee, friends. i’m LA, I've been looking for a rp to join for a little bit now, so I’m v excited to be here w my bb Conrad ( he goes by Dash, as well ). I've got some wc’s for him, a few simpler ones and an ex connect that i think would be fun to have around for Conrad, i’ll list a few below and just lmk if you’re interested. also up for anything i might not have listed / brain storming etc.

                                                         ~

> moved to Springhill with his parents when he was 15 - his father got a job offer as the department head of physics at Rutgers uni. Being from a small town originally, his parents opted to live in Springhill. Conrad has been here since despite when he left to nyc for college where he went to nyu for his PhD in English & Literary Arts. He’s currently in the process of taking online courses for Marine Sciences, another one of his bigger interests.

> loves to learn ; reading has been and is one of his biggest hobbies growing up. He also loves to write, he’s got a couple of rough drafts for books that he’s too self-conscious of to even attempt to get published. 

> used to work as an English professor as the community college in town for a couple of years, but left when he had the opportunity to buy What the Book? from the original owner - whom he’d known since he was a teen - it seemed like the right move for himself, so he plans on making the best out of it. He’s been the owner for only a year and a half now.

> he tends to be v cautious & anxious when it comes to letting someone else in. Comes off a bit on the shy side when he’s around people he doesn’t know, is also a total clutz. Luck doesn’t ever seem to be on his side, but he tries to make the most of the cards he’s dealt.

> is a ball of sunshine, usually. He’s optimistic & tries to look on the bright side of most situations he might find himself in, he also tends to be logical. 

> hobbies include a lot of water sports - he grew up on the water. Now he gets his fix whenever he might hit one of the beaches off of NYC. He has a fascination of aquatic animals. Another hobby of his is doing research, as well as shopping & interior decorating. He’s always changing up his interior decor depending on what he might find. His style tends to be a bit basic - button ups over t-shirts, jeans or pants, he tends to be more creative with his surroundings. 

> while he does tend to be cautious around others & about those he lets in his life, he also manages to wear his heart on his sleeve.

> he’s honestly a sweetheart & genuine person, but like most people, he can be an asshole when provoked only for Conrad and his passive nature, it might take a bit more to get him to that point depending on the situation.

> he’d been bicurious for a very long time & only acted on his desires a couple of years ago, coming to the realization & acceptance that he’s bisexual.

> he’s been hurt & he’s been the one doing the hurting. He broke up with his most recent girlfriend ( probs about 3 years back now ) because of his confusion w his sexuality which caused a lot of confusion for himself and issues in their relationship. He was cheated on in his more recent relationship with a man which really knocked his confidence & ability to trust others down quite a few pegs.

C O N N E C T I O N S

honestly anything & everything, but to strike up some inspo, I’ve got a little list of some that I’d absolutely love for him:

FRIENDS & a couple of BEST friends ex girlfriend ( would probably take a couple, but his more recent ex gf is def wanted ) ex boyfriend ( someone that’s capable of cheatingggg oof, there’d still be feelings on conrad’s end of things ) neighbors ( he lives in an apartment, so there can be a few ) people that tend to make appearances at What the Book? college buddies / old college roommates someone that conrad’s crushing on, unrequited or not ( preferably a male that manages to bring out conrad’s bashfulness ) an older crush of his ( male and / or female ) tinder dates  employees at What the Book? ex coworkers
