bring your own lampshade somewhere thereās a party. here itās never ending && canāt remember when it started; pass around the lampshade, thereāll be plenty enough room in jail. if being wrongās a crime iām serving forever ā if being afraid is a crime, we hang side by side at the swinginā party down the line.
āHardships will try to deceive us but
Just focus on me then
In the darkness, just the two of us is enough
In all these lies
If weāre together, even an endless maze is paradiseā
so far being in my 20s is like *hyperfixates* *oversleeps* *mourns my lost youth* *hyperfixates* *oversleeps* *oversleeps* *drinks too much on a thursday* *oversleeps*
[ ALEX FITZALAN , CISMALE , HE/HIM ] ā hugo william montcroix is the twenty year old sophomore in professor morrowās classics course. they are a pisces, which is probably what makes them so non-judgemental and anxious. every time i see them, i canāt help but think of the the smell of french perfume, hand rolled cigarettes, paint stained hands, dreamy eyes towards the sky and wrinkled designer clothes.
--- FAMILYĀ
Hugo is the middle child of the Montcroix family, who are known by their extensive tradition as politicians and investors of a large variety of schools across the globe. They, allegedly, come from a family of scholars and people who value knowledge, his older brother is a well-known astronomer and his younger sister is a tech prodigy, while their mother teaches at Columbia and their father is a politician who fights for education.
Ā Or at least thatās what everybody should think about them, a family of humble people that use their money wisely. Little did they know his father steals money from education, his mother is frequently absent from her classes, his brother slept his way to the top and his sister following their fatherās footsteps.Ā
Meanwhile, Hugo is the odd one out, who doesnāt give a shit about any of that and just strives to navigate through that mess of a family. Heās the middle child, whoās not into science or politics, who loves arts and literature, and runs away from attention at all costs.Ā
He actually managed to set up an expo of his sculptures (his parents forgot to attend it), but it blew up pretty big and it was on newspapers all over us.
The reason Hugo isnāt currently at Columbia with his mother lies with a problem involving speed racing, bad reputation and lack of productivity. Heās always loved adrenaline and experience new things, and getting his fifteen minutes of fame was the bridge he needed to live his dreams.Ā
His parents think of the kids like......... more as if theyāre a sciences project than actual human beings. They try to love the kids to an extent, but fail completely and end up passing as condescending, so the kids all think itās their fault because theyāre not good enough.
Cool parties, alcohol and drugs were nothing compared to the thrills of speeding his sports car through the streets of Portland to win races against other rich kids like himself. It was a fight of egos and he loved every single moment of it, nothing his family did could outshine that.
I wouldnāt say heās friendly with everybody, but heās a pretty warm and chill person, he likes to really pay attention on people and what they have to say -- bc of that heās a great listener, but donāt fool yourself, he can and will immortalize ur face on an ugly painting if necessary
ABSOLUTE MESS OF A PERSON
Used to be such a nice kid when he was younger, when his older brother told him that their parents didnāt love them he ACTUALLY-CRIED-A-FUCKING-RIVER. After that, Hugo was deeply hurt and tried to prove his brother wrong, until he realized his brother was right and pressed theĀ āFUCK THIS SHITā button
Followed his brotherās footsteps into becoming a The Riot Club rich boy, but isnāt that preppy bc he cared probably too much about some stuffĀ
Very sensitive and anxious, but sometimes i think he might get agressive??? idk, the boy has a lot of potential and def will surprise me
That āmy problem is that i fall in love with every pretty thing is absolutely himā, he falls in love every 10 seconds
Doesnāt believe in gender and sexuality, but refers himself as a cismale bc he doesnāt mind and society made him this, so i donāt think heās actually non binary??? help, idk
Relies a lot on money +++ is that one rich boy with expensive (and wrinkled, probably paint stained) clothing
I mean, Hugoās nice but heās also a rich boy. Heās inherently selfish lmao, also his parents pretty much fucked up with his head, so donāt expect someone with a lot of morals
Thinks the greeks were right about everything, that says a lot about him alreadyĀ
--- LILā HEADCANONS
Absolute wine snatcher, will steal every available bottle of wine without guilt
Will transform every given room in his personal atelier
Always has pencils and ink with him & draws/paints on places that werenāt made to be drawn/painted at, likeĀ
church benches, walls, anything really
bathroom stalls
receipts, napkins, imPORTANT DOCUMENTS
diner, restaurant, bar or pub tables
walls
doors
newspapers
lost objects
library books (YES, CAN U IMAGINE THIS????)
body parts????
Does art forgery to get some extra ca$$$$hhhh, if you want in, iād love to plot this!!
Started to roll his own cigarettes bc he likes to mix cannabis and tobacco, and he puts them inside an old lucky strike box he painted over.Ā
FUN FACT: hugo thinks rolling cigarettes helps him with his anxiety and he only learned to roll a good cigarette bc he compulsively started to roll them, absolutely hyperfixated, until he thought it was acceptable
He is obsessed by the idea of creating a perfect sculpture & the new worldās masterpiece (we all know itās absolutely unreachable, but donāt tell him that) bc only this will truly fulfill his parents and make them proud of him (poor boy). IT ALSO NEEDS TO BE SAID THAT he doesnāt know what this masterpiece is, he believes heāll know after heās finished it.Ā
Depressed & stressed, never takes his meds bc Hugo thinks they leave him empty and he needs the suffering for his art, but at the same time heās basically always miserable (HIS ARGUMENT: all the worldās biggest artists were, just look at Van Gogh)
He pays a lot of attention on bodies and he thinks all bodies are beautiful, his goal is to make a perfect replica of Michelangeloās attention on details like flesh, muscles, bones, etc. He wants to look at other peopleās bodies closely and touch it so he can know how to sculpt them
