[ HALEY LU RICHARDSON, CISWOMAN, SHE/HER ] shh ! AISLIN WALSH, the TWENTY-ONE year old SECOND year FILM & PHILOSOPHY major from WATERFORD IRELAND, is known as a SAPPHIRE around here. SHE was invited to join because OF HER AWARD WINNING SHORT FILMS, and now, they’re here to stay. SHE reminds me of PICKING FLOWERS ON HER WAY TO CLASS, WRITING LOVE LETTERS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGES, THE ART OF SETTING YOURSELF ON FIRE TO KEEP OTHERS WARM.
A Very Brief History:
Aislin grew up a very wild child, which her parents did not like at all. They chose to pay more attention to her brother who muted himself for their approval, and followed them blindly. She took solace in books, and making her own little movies or music videos with her friends. Think of those cringey MVs made by seventh graders. Very imaginative as a child as she spent a lot of time alone. She learned how to entertain herself no matter the occasion, and played a lot with the nannies, maids, gardeners, and cooks on their estate.
She comes from old money, as the Walsh’s own a long line of car manufacturers throughout the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom. Her family praises her older brother for being responsible for getting a deal to import their cars to the US and asia. He was also a member of the society, and her parents never expected Aislin to be invited to join. Especially her mother who doesn’t believe her interest in Film and Philosophy isn’t attractive for a “young elite”
“Talk less, smile more.” ( shoutout to hamilton ) a phrase she commonly heard as she always has a million thoughts running through her mind. Each one she deemed important. There was so much to the world she didn’t understand, and had yet to see. It’s what made her so passionate about exploring it through film. To insert her own philosophy and start discussions around whatever thought was plaguing her the most. But her mother wished she would just shut up and let important people feel important.
The lack of attention from her parents made her a strong people pleaser. Searching for the approval she didn’t get from home no matter how hard she tried. She’s always there to lend a helping hand no matter how late, will be the ear someone needs and offer her best advice. Believes that her loyalty and devotion will earn her the love she so often felt she didn’t receive from her parents. Aislin knows what it’s like to feel neglected and like she’s not being paid attention to and she never wants people to feel that way so she showers everyone in the love she wishes her parents will show to her.
Aislin has a mind for wonder, and an imagination that knows no bounds because she can’t do the things she watches the protagonists she writes do. It’s her only form of escape from her life and she wishes she could live freely as her protagonists do but watching them in films would have to be enough. A passion that shows through as she as three award winning short films she’s known around the film community for. Those films being: “For the Love of a Daughter”, “The Problem with a Promise”, and “The Ways in Which Footprints Lie”.
Personality:
She puts others before herself always no matter the situation. She isn’t a prideful person, so she’s typically the first to apologize whenever any sign of conflict arises even if she wasn’t the reason the conflict started.
It’s really hard for her to stand up for herself, and will usually just allow people to take advantage of her or walk all over her. She’s scared of disappointing people so she does her best to keep the peace at all times.
Aislin wishes to be selfish, and put herself first but can’t bring herself to do it. So she takes out her wishes through her works. Her protagonists are always free spirited, strong willed, and openly opinionated because she feels like she can’t be.
She romanticizes every aspect of her life, and tries to find joy in the little things. She’s quick on her feet, and performs well under pressure. Also tries her best to give everyone she meets the benefit of the doubt even if they come with their fair share of bad interactions. Even if they treat her poorly she tries to find the good in them.
Wanted Connections:
her muse. this person is someone she longs to be like. they inspire her most ambitious of characters because of how selfishly and carefree they’re able to live. she notices how they put their wants first without showing shame, and aislin tries to mimic their speech, and the way they interact with others but she always folds. she wants to be close to this person in hopes their habits will rub off on her. she’s afraid to ask how they got so assertive because she doesn’t want them to pity her or be annoyed but they’re remain a dream to her all the same.
the one that got away. it’s aislin’s fault these two didn’t work out. she couldn’t get out of her own head. they weren’t ever a couple but this muse was very sweet on her, and aislin wasn’t use to that. she was constantly thinking it was only a matter time before she disappointed them. she was hot then cold, clingy then distant and it made her feels seem like mixed signals. this muse could only take so much and eventually stopped pursuing her all together. something aislin knew was coming yet couldn’t bring herself to stop.
her comfort crowd. this could definitely be a few muses ! these people would be her group of don’t ask don’t tell. they’d have their own code, and hold each other secrets to their heart and take them to the grave. they all have access to each other’s places, know their favorite foods, and spend all night sharing secrets, reciting dreams, and being their most authentic selves. in the days that follow their stress relief they don’t speak of that night, pretending like it didn’t happen until they need another night like it again.
her midas touch. this person manages to always get her out of her comfort zone, and do things she normally wouldn’t for herself. they can see the way she struggles with doing for others and doing for herself and want them to choose herself. they sometimes get into arguments over it because no matter how many steps she takes forward she always ends right back treating others in the way she should treat herself.
her skeptic. this person thinks her treat people with kindness attitude is nothing but an act. they believe she’s working some kind of angle, whether it be within the society, her department, her inner circle, etc. they just don’t trust the way she acts. fully believing there’s more to her sweet persona than meets the eye.

continued from : the discord nye thread bc im a garbage person and completely forgot to reply so anyone don’t perceive move along i love u riley pls love me back
try as she might, aislin couldn’t rid her mind of intimate paragraphs. each time she saw hollis or thought to reach out to him, the words never meant for anyone else would engross her thoughts; playing back each detail as if she would listening to it on audio. the guilt was always swift to accompany them. it seemed what she wanted to forget the most had every intention of sticking around. she was once certain that despite apology hollis would want nothing more to do with her. the invasion of privacy she’d committed would have warranted him that much; yet he sought her out. whether he was searching for answers, or searching for assurance, aislin wanted to give him both. she definitely owed it to him. “ you have every right to be mad, though. if you want to be, i mean. i’d deserve it...── i didn’t read all of it though ! once i figured out it belonged to you i shut it immediately, and i still feel really bad about it. i promise i won’t tell anyone. those are your things to share whenever you get ready ─── if you get ready, i wouldn’t ever cross a line like that. especially after what i did, which, again ── i’m so sorry. ”
“ why would it ever be weird ? i don’t think opals should be seen as inaccessible or difficult to talk to. from my understanding, they’re people we should feel comfortable enough to get close to. we’re all connected, and i like to think we’re connected for the better. isadora has only ever shown me kindness from the moment i met her. to me, she exemplifies what a predecessor should be to prodigies; open, comforting, helpful, honest...── don’t get me wrong though, i don’t think she’s the only opal who’s like that. but our friendship does go beyond the society, i think. we won’t always be members in the end. one day she’ll graduate and move on, and if i’m accepted in, i’ll also graduate and move on; but we’ll be friends forever. it was like i realized a part of me was missing my entire life when i met her, and when you find something like that you don’t let it go so easily. ”
excuse me i wasn’t gonna say anything bc i didn’t wanna start shit or make you feel bad but i think it’s really unfair that you are so beautiful and warm and amazing and i think u need to remember that abt urself always
“ oh my god...─── thank you ? i ── i’ll do my best. ”

brandon and aislin for the brotp meme (we can pretend they can hold a single functional conversation <3)
BROTP MEME !
who steals french fries off the other’s plate : brandon would steal fries from her, but like stealth mode so aislin didn’t even realize he was taking them.
who jokingly moves in for the kiss when someone asks if they’re a couple : neither. jeopardy music plays in the background and they both kinda side step away from each other UHIFJDEBFUDIJSKO
who has to bust or bail the other out of jail : aislin would pick brandon up, and be so happy that he called her the whole time
who gives the other advice/comfort about dating issues : more than likely it would be aislin coming to brandon for advice but not meaning to. like she was just rambling as she does and accidentally spills her life story.
who shamelessly cheats at games by reaching over to cover the other’s eyes : oh brandon for sure
who immediately calls dibs on the top bunk : they say it at the same time, and aislin let’s him take it
who starts and who wins the pillow fights : i feel like aislin would try to start one but brandon is simply like no <3
who says “your pants would look better on their floor” to the other’s potential crush : brandon <3
who steals french fries off the other’s plate : they spend more time slapping each other’s hands away from their plates than actually eating.
who jokingly moves in for the kiss when someone asks if they’re a couple : literally neither. rhys definitely keels over laughing, and aislin fake gags and stands like thirty feet away. probably blames him for people thinking they’re a couple.
who has to bust or bail the other out of jail : aislin is the one picking him up from jail and is either making fun of him or scolding him the entire time.
who gives the other advice/comfort about dating issues : rhys knows he can go to aislin with anything, but i feel like aislin goes to him a lot more frequently than he comes to her. but its a mutual vibe.
who shamelessly cheats at games by reaching over to cover the other’s eyes : rhys. but also aislin. it’s a lot of screaming when they play games together.
who immediately calls dibs on the top bunk : rhys, and then they end up racing for it.
who starts and who wins the pillow fights : aislin starts them, and she also wins them. not because of her strength but because of her persistent she is. like he’ll think the fight is over and she’ll sneak another attack in.
who says “your pants would look better on their floor” to the other’s potential crush : a million percent rhys as payback for aislin mocking the way he flirts <3
[ 3:21 AM ] : are you sleeping?
[ 3:21 AM ] : hello? wake up please, i miss you
[ 3:30 AM ] : pls don’t make me devour this bag of gummy bears by myself
[ 3:45 AM ] : im messaging you again in fifteen minutes and if you’re not up i’ll leave you alone
[ 4:00 AM ] : okay i lied i’m actually gonna come wake up you, sorry. i want a hug. and also i love you.

How many calls has my muse missed from yours?
probably like 5 but only because they call each other so frequently.
who steals french fries off the other’s plate : oh they one hundred percent order different dishes and then just put them in the middle of the table and share their meals with each other like the platonic lovers they are.
who jokingly moves in for the kiss when someone asks if they’re a couple : both of them, a thousand percent.
who has to bust or bail the other out of jail : they are absolutely in jail together. probably for accidental public intoxication.
who gives the other advice/comfort about dating issues : they both do ! there isn’t anything they can’t tell each other, and are always there with open arms and warm hugs.
who shamelessly cheats at games by reaching over to cover the other’s eyes : both of them, and at the same time too so they’re both losing
who immediately calls dibs on the top bunk : they just go round and round in circles like “no you take it.” “are you sure?” “you can have it”
who starts and who wins the pillow fights : isadora starts them, but it alternates on who wins them. they usually give up at the same time because they’re laughing too hard.
who says “your pants would look better on their floor” to the other’s potential crush : both of them tbqh

Aislin would never answer this honestly so i’m answering it for her. She breaks her own heart tbh. She doesn’t mean to, but she sets up standards for herself so very high, and obviously when it doesn’t meet them she’s crushed. In her mind she expects things to be easy, no complications, and nothing bad ever happening. So when things get hard she gets gone, and just doesn’t confront anything ever. But it’s definitely fixable, and she’s is trying to work on it. I think the first, and one of the hardest steps, she’s had to take so far is starting over with Eliot. If she can accomplish being friends with him after the heart break their break up caused ( again her fault ) i think she’d feel a lot more confident in having the hard conversations.
do you think your mother will ever look at you in a different way?
“ of course ! It’ll just take some time...── i’m quite alright once you get to know me. And she’ll want to get to know me, she’s my mom after all. things are just...── busy. that’s all. lots to do at home, and i have a lot to prepare for too but we’ll find the time eventually ! ”
