QUICK BIO.

grew up in a no-rules household with her free-spirted adopted parents, both reiki masters. they that felt mikayla’s conscious endeavor would guide her to greatness. this led to some attention-seeking problems in school / life in general.

acting is her greatest passion and putting on personas has come naturally to her since she was very young.

just before her 9th birthday, andy tilly was diagnosed with stage three lung cancer. kayla coped poorly, dissociating / falling victim to frequent panic attacks. 

it takes a year of battling, but andy successfully comes into remission. mikayla’s behavioral problems tend to cease. things start to look up.

around age 10, the tillys move to oasis apartments in silver lake.

by 15, she tries her hand at making homemade audition reels for teen-acting gigs. she writes a show called ‘shitty mcshit: the memoir of a good person.’ she parties and sneaks out, but she’s still an overall good kid. silver lake truly starts to feel like home.

when mikayla is 20, andy passes away. the promising progress falls right through the floor. 

rock leaves silver lake, finding a nice house right on the outskirts in victor heights. mikayla relocates in oasis apts to 211B and doesn’t make an effort to leave it.

working as a barista at intelligentsia, kayla has has two successful stage play debuts ( one with co-star @benscxtt​ ) and continues to pursue acting.

FUN FACTS.

has a pavlov response to the sound of a bottle cracking within a five-mile radius, but can’t hear an urgent call on her nightstand to save her life.

will steal your refrigerated goods.

has played columbia seven times in the seasonal rocky horror picture show tour.

dolly parton is her go-to karaoke artist of choice.

call if you’re here for a good time, not a long time.

fletcherliu​:

“ wow , you really got a way with words , “ he responded , glancing down at the liquor he’d been nursing as fletcher sat , hunched , at the bar . “ – and what makes you think i just buy girls drinks ?? what’s in it for me ?? you say this ain’t a pick-up line , so it’s clear i’m not gonna get a happy ending after dropping my weeks wages on alcohol just so you can get a ‘ freebie ‘ . “ 

“It was a good enough try,” she responds with a lazy wave, settling at the bar beside him to fling up her fingers for a drink. “Really there was nothing in it for you, but I like to see if it works. Sometimes it does. Mainly people are lonely and just want conversation, you know?”

orla-rhodes​:

“For you? Of course. For the grease monkey you walked in with?” She gestures off in the distance, somewhere she assumes is the general direction of Baz, probably hiding out in a corner where the gremlins were supposed to stay. “—” her mouth opens to say something before deciding against it, this was Kayla after all. “Just, why?” 

Why is a good question she doesn’t have an answer to that will fly with her friend, so Mikayla finds a seat at the bar while tapping her fingers against the surface. “Why do we do anything, Orlie? Why do we sniff glue in middle school? Why do we buy Taco Bell at three in the morning? It’s because it feels good --- and he may be a ghoul to you, but he’s kinda my ghoul. We just sort of make sense in a senseless way.”

bowieshore​:

All she was short of was a metal cup to rattle and a sign that invoked some sympathy, which made Bowie briefly wonder if she was doing some method acting for a potential upcoming role as Local Beggar. 

He laughs at that thought before it promptly dies, invisible algebraic formulas floating around his cranium with a perplexed look to match as he tries to process this casual information drop. 

“Hold up.. Wait… What boyfriend? Who the fuck.”

Despite how she'd have no qualms to try this act on a stranger, she's relieved to find her old best friend at the local watering hole where dreams ( and inherently, many virginities ) come to die. Dropping down on a seat beside him, the blonde snorts and waves off the crisis before it can land on the bar top. 

 "Uh, hello. Out of anyone in my universe, who would I willfully date?" 

 The real answer is as perplexing as the look on Bowie's face. Mikayla turns to tick off each answer until her middle finger remains: 

 "It's not Jeff Goldblum. All the Jo-Bro's remain married, that's three down right there. And Orla's taken -- thanks for that." Her hand closes in a fist. "So it must be...?"

aaroncon​:

where: pride!! who: @mikayla-tilly​

“—kayla!” frantic arms waves about, a sprinkle of glitter falling from the temporary tattoo that had practically — in this heat — melted off his bicep at this point. not clearing her at attention on the first holler, he shouts again. “mikayla anne tilly!” finally speeding through a clearing of people, catching her wrist. “my goodness you’re an elusive little woman. i made us a petition at the petition stand,” he speaks, offering a half eaten slice of pizza her way for a nibble. “to get us back into carousel. if this doesn’t work, i don’t know what will.”

The shout of her name is enough to have her glancing from side to side, searching for a sign of her best friend in the crowd. It’s not until Aaron calls her entire name that she spies him, face brightening. “Oh my god, look at you! What the heck, sexy, let me get a good look at that tattoo.” Simultaneously she reaches for his arm as she leans in to take a bite of pizza. “A petition for us? Really? Mmph! I gotta get Baz on it, he’ll scare everyone in the city to sign it. Did you come with Sulley, what’s shaking?”

best buddies to smoke with?

❝ all of them. no, literally, all of them. this is in no particular order, ‘cept for maybe that @tysondabs is first because i’m currently smokin’ outta the lil’ pink beauty he got me for my birthday, rosa sparks. she’s gorgeous, hm? he’s got an eye for the sickest glass an’ he’s always down to try my new strains. an’ it’s always the best kinda chaos when we do. @jadenlapointe, too, of course — ‘specially now that he’s livin’ with me an’ has to deal with me bringin’ home all sorts a’ new hybrids and extracts an’ the like from the growhouse and forcin’ them on him for feedback. he’s like the dale t’my saul, an’ i love him for it. @sashamsmith is always a delight catch an afternoon buzz with, whether we’re combin’ the beaches for shells or doin’ facials an’ marathonnin’ the golden girls. wake and bake sessions with @itsdanteshell in the mornin’ are one of my favorite ways t’start the day an’ usually one of his t’finish it. if @bowieshore had a dollar for every time i showed up with a couple a’ joints an’ a roll of quarters to get my butt handed t’me at tomb raider for the upteenth time, he could prob’ly get a new game t’beat me at.  @mikayla-tilly always knows how t’make me laugh until my sides hurt, an’ best of all, i got my very firs’ kiss from @aaroncon the same night i smoked with him for the very firs’ time. i could go on an’ on, but  i think y’get the point. i get high with a little help from my friends, or whatever it was the beatles said. ❞

"Pretty sure it was Fourth of July when @bowieshore was skateboarding and I convinced my mom to let @holland-mitchell sleep over so the three of us could make a ton of popcorn, paint nails, and watch every John Hughes movie we could until we passed out. That was a pretty good day.”

How are things with Baz?

"Oh, you know. We're kicking ass, taking names, refusing to pay for delivery fees. Kind of feels like I'm back where I'm supposed to be after a few years of feeling misplaced." @bazhowlett

What is the favorite place you’ve ever traveled? And if you haven’t traveled much, where would you most like to go?

"I'd be cheesy and say @bazhowlett's apartment, but then that would be saying Oasis is my favorite place I've traveled and I'm not that sad. Roswell. Roswell was, like, the closest I've ever gotten to space."
