human au...info dump

me: i don't upload much that isn't directly related to the sanders sides fic that's going on, but i'm sure i've uploaded something from human au my blog archive: DING DING DING, NO YOU HAVEN'T!!

….anyway. that is to say, here now are the info sheets for the boys in their human au, which i've been working on for the better part of two years. three years? years.

a general synopsis: they are all dating and are in a polyamorous relationship. gavin is getting co-parented by seven idiots, all with varying amounts of actual parenting (insert david's "i can barely keep myself alive, you trust me with a kid???") small warnings for scars and suggestions of past-self harm (hey did you know that command + z on tumblr posts actually DELETES EVERYTHING UNLESS IT EXPLICITLY SAYS IT SAVED? because i just found this out :')

first, meet eric "lijie" yuan

ID/Further explanation: "Eric" Lijie Yuan is a 24 year old gay man who, prior to meeting Cadence accidentally, worked as a bartender and waiter. His parents head a real estate empire and immigrated to the US from Shanghai, China; he cut ties with the family when he was 18 and fought for custody of Gavin on child abuse grounds. His facial scars are from having a wine glass broken on his face by his father. He almost always wears his leather motorcycle jacket and a long sleeve shirt, because he prefers to keep his body mostly hidden, and he doesn't actually own that much clothing because he's reluctant to spend money on himself. He was a pretty good bartender and liked experimenting with drinks, but he is a lightweight. Having his hair up for too long gives him prolonged headaches and neck aches, so he only puts his hair up for work. Eric is also quite afraid of the dark and likes falling asleep with his phone on, so the screen turns off after some time. Eric doesn't use many pet names in general, especially in his relationship, but he does call Gavin "baby," "kiddo," "bud/little bud," and "sunshine." He is prone to panic attacks and has extreme agoraphobia from being isolated growing up, so meeting new people is hard. When he does panic, he's most likely to close his eyes and sit still for a few hours until he's functional again. He's also very good at staying quiet when he's mad or when he disagrees with something.

now, meet gavin!

ID/Further explanation: "Gavin" Faijie Yuan is Eric's 10 year old brother, and he's an absolute sweetheart! Gavin likes finding the happiness and fun in everything, and his favorite thing is making people happy, especially when he gets to do fun things with his older brother, Eric. He's very hard to upset and doesn't get truly mad often, but he can be quite judgemental and often speaks out of turn. He's pretty blunt and honest, so he sometimes says things that can come off as rude, if not mean. Gavin does have a good intuition of people, however. His favorite subject is math and his favorite color is yellow, like the sun! He likes things that glow and his favorite shoes are light-up Sketchers. His pajamas are Eric's old clothes that he no longer wears, because it comforts Gavin when Eric has long late night shifts at the bar. He also suffers from some pretty bad separation anxiety from Eric, getting fidgety and sometimes panicked when he isn't with Eric for long periods of time. Growing up, their parents called Eric "thief" more than they used his name, and Gavin sometimes forgets that it's not Eric's name. Most of the time, he calls Eric "Dad." When he's upset, Gavin has a habit of fiddling with his shirt or other fabrics, like tablecloth or bedding. When he's very scared or sad, he'll hide, not wanting to see anyone. But when he's happy, he balls up his fists and shakes around, most usually shaking his fists up and down.

now lets hear it for cadence!

ID/Further Explanation: Cadence Beaulieu is a 26 year old Youtuber and drag queen who goes by the name Songbird. His content is mostly make-up tutorials and reviews, though he does a lot of vlogs and often posts drag performances, and his channel as of the au has roughly 14 million subscribers. He has three moles near his eye that he fills in with eyeliner to make a heart, and he prefers skirts and loose pants, so he ends up dressing and styling himself more feminine regularly. He usually has long acrylic nails (there was a small scandal when he suddenly had two short nails…) Absolute GNC queen! He is pretty good at not making snap judgements and thinking through situations and relationships before making decisions, but when he does make decisions, he's quite decisive. Along that vein, he can hold pretty strong grudges, and you have put in the effort to earn his trust back. He's pretty good at hiding his emotions as well, but he has very, very strong emotional reactions. If anything, he can be kind of passive-aggressive if he's really pissed. Cadence has had bad experiences with fans finding him in the wild in the past, so he's wary of unexpected fan interactions but he loves all his little birdies so much! His Youtube channel blew up while he was getting his PhD in emergency medicine, so he's also actually a doctor, and he had to pick a career path after a fan interaction went south while he was on the clock working on an ambulance. Cadence often wears make-up all along his neck, sometimes even his shoulders if they're going to be exposed, because he has pretty bad body dysmorphia. He has burn scars across part of his cheek, along his neck and shoulders, and all over his back from a house fire he was in when he was young. He likes warmth and fireplaces but he's scared of fire when it's not "contained" to a candle, a fireplace, etc.

more on marlowe :D

ID/Further Explanation: Marlowe Doyle is a 30 year old English professor who specializes in Elizabethan theater, such as Shakespeare and his contemporaries. His pronouns are he/they/she and they currently identify as genderqueer, homoromantic, and asexual! He also has a mild case of hemophilia and a pretty bad fear of needles. He will style himself masculine or feminine depending on how he's feeling, but he will almost always look like he's from the 1960's. He changed his name in college so while he's a fan of Shakespeare, his name is from Christopher Marlowe, and his favorite play is Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus. He's incredibly romantic and enjoys the position of best kisser in the polycule. He has a very big bowtie collection, with over 100, and he's been slowly developing a sock collection. He has a very bad memory and is prone to forgetting things, so he journals daily. He comes off as very overconfident, which is his bouncing back from being walked on and used in college. He also is quite vulgar and quick-tempered, very quick to judge, but he's aware of this problem and tries to withhold his judgement. Especially if he's proven wrong. Marlowe is quite eccentric and loud, and it's rare to catch him just soft. He doesn't admit being wrong and doesn't often apologize, but he adjusts his attitude immensely and is very introspective. He also would do anything for education, he loves learning and loves teaching, loves it when his students are excited. He also has a very funny transatlantic accent.

david time

ID/Further explanation: David Aosora is a 27 year old gay trans artist. He works mostly in oils and his style has been described as urban impressionism, but he also enjoys chiseling marble, stone, and quartz, as well as carving wood. He has ADHD and is prone to hyperfocusing on his art, but also forgets to take care of himself often and he hates having to be responsible. Often, he wears cheaper clothing to wear while painting, he has clothes from maybe a decade ago that he still wears. He also likes that it hides his boobs but he doesn't have the energy to care too much, similarly he says he's too lazy to commit to surgeries. He's also afraid of commitment. Whenever he has to clean himself up, he has nice slacks and button downs he wears, as well as a few binders. Being too serious makes him a bit depressed so he does not. He is also lowkey quite strong from lifting his statues and such, but he doesn't really recognize it. He also has crazy bad eyesight, he's very nearsighted and can't legally drive without his glasses, but he hasn't gotten his eyes checked since he was 19 years old. David is quite short-tempered and impulsive, smarter than he seems, given his irresponsible disposition. His fear response is also anger and vitriol. He has cut off his entire family and does not have any real support structure, but he doesn't like talking about why.

LETS HEAR IT FOR DRACO!

ID/Further explanation: Draco Jiménez, born Draco Umbra, is a 30 year old actor. He was born into a mob family and he ran away when he was 16, walking from his hometown of Las Vegas to Los Angeles over the course of a month. From there, he was unhoused for a time, got a job as a line cook, and then a photographer for a modeling agency saw him in passing and suggested he apply. From there, he became a model, was scouted to be an extra, then found an agent who pushed him into auditioning as a secondary character in a television show. And things spiraled. He became famous. He prefers working in action or comedy, or both, and he's most known for both. He's not the brightest, often susceptible to being manipulated for others' gain (such as when his old manager/agent/boyfriend got him into hard drugs and abused him) but he loves being loved and loves loving. He wants his loved ones to be okay, safe, happy, and he wants to help how he can. His favorite jacket is a leather jacket that was oversized on him when he was 19, shooting his first ever television show, and it fits perfectly now. He usually wears that jacket with a comfortable t-shirt and tight pants, preferring well-fitting clothes or skinny clothes rather than baggy because he wasn't allowed well-fitting clothes as a child. His favorite color is bright red, like fire, and he has his ears pierced as well as his nose, which was done while he was unhoused. He shaves his face every day because his ex said he looked scruffy with facial hair, and he has a very loud, boisterous laugh. Draco loves cooking for people! Because of his upbringing, he is often confused by normal things, unaware really of "gender" and "oil paintings," but he craves a life where he can just come home to his family and cook and sit on the couch with his loved ones and hug them. He now gets that life for the most part. His favorite sweets are strawberries, especially strawberry ice cream with the chunks in it. He's very prone to disassociation, especially when he's reminded of his past, and his nervous tick is rubbing his wrist scars, which are usually hidden under a series of bracelets. Gavin made him a friendship bracelet within a few days of knowing him and Draco never takes them off. Most of his scars are quite easy to hide. He has kind of been beaten down such that he no longer gets truly angry and when he is mad, he is usually able to breathe it out, but if he does snap, it's similar to when he has a panic attack, and he loses control of himself.

Phillip Prince

ID/Further explanation: Phillip Prince is a 31 year old defense lawyer, who specializes in representing defendants with defamation and libel claims, as well as criminal privacy charges. He very much hates social media but he enjoys those fun word apps, like Wordle. When he was a graduate student, he had a small job with the Supreme Court and was kidnapped in a terrorist incident in association. He was tortured and held for ransom for a bit under a year, when he and the other survivors were saved. He is missing his left eye and his left leg was injured, so he uses a cane. He does not like having his photo taken and he works from home, currently, but he does dress quite professionally normally, especially in court. His hair is graying from stress and he used to be very extroverted and loved having relationships with people. His parents are negligent and after the kidnapping incident, he cut ties completely, but some ticks continued, such as how he covers his mouth when he smiles. His favorite eyepatch has an embroidered rose on the front, which he emblazoned himself. His face is covered in freckles and he is very prone to blushing, and his ears get red when he feels any strong emotion. He is prone to random mood swings and panic attacks, and can be triggered by seemingly innocuous things (being called pretty). He feels quite righteous often and doesn't like raising his voice but is fully capable of getting mad. He paces when he's angry. He doesn't care too much about his scars anymore, mostly just surprised by his own appearance. He is a huge fan of red wines, especially merlot, and has expensive tastes for the most part. He is, however, a lightweight but he likes drinking and the taste of wine too much to care.

who is macbeth donner?

ID/Further explanation: Macbeth Donner is a 30 year old talent agent who often represents children or young adults in movies specifically. He himself was a child star and he has a lot of unresolved trauma from adult figures who abused him in the industry. He is aware of it, however, and wants to keep children in the industry safe now that he has the power to. His hair is almost always laden with gel and he enjoys having his entire body covered, including a small collection of scarves. His body temperature also runs quite cold so he wears layers. He was raised pretty rich and has needed to unlearn a lot of work ethic problems. He also has a lot of internalized homophobia. He recognizes that he's been raised pretty bigoted and is pretty diligent in fixing himself internally, mostly because he wants to be better for his clients. Also, he does not care about his clients' parents. He cares most for his clients' well beings. He is very poised, regardless of how he's feeling, so when he is very expressive it must be a big problem. He is a hazard to his own safety and cannot be trusted with weapons, as his trauma involves a lot of prop weaponry, especially prop guns. He will bottle things until he explodes. Macbeth is also incredibly paranoid in his personal life and doesn't trust people on principle, as he is kind of a control freak, so it takes a while to earn his trust.

like i mentioned, i've written....a lot. and worldbuilt a lot.

this is a little synopsis of everyone and how they look, how they've changed, and some of their individual stories!

technically, phillip and marlowe are the first to meet, because they're roommates in their freshman year of undergrad.

phillip and draco are the first to meet and establish the polycule when draco's (now ex) manager/agent/boyfriend publicizes his nudes and alleges he's an abuser, in retaliation for draco firing and breaking up with him. phillip wins him the case and draco asks if they can hang out, because phillip seems very kind.
