⋙ did you see autumn sharma at that rager last night? i think they major in veterinarian science as a sophomore. from what i hear they’re enthusiastic & passionate, but they can be pretty aloof too, depending on who you ask. there was a rumor going around last semester that she threatened to sue her high school if they didn’t let her play on the boy’s soccer team because they didn’t have one for girls, but it seems way too wild to be true- maybe i’ll get to know UCSB’s resident gamine better & find out.
bio, taken connections, & wanted connections are under the cut!
this bio is in bullet points bc i’m lazy (oops).
i’m not ashamed to say she is aggressively a tik-tok bisexual
autumn grew up to an upper middle class family in portland, oregon; and was raised by immigrants.
her grandparents on her mom’s side moved to the US from india when her mom was just young.
her dad lived next door to her mom, it was a classic neighbors falling in love type story.
it makes autumn technically a first generation kid, but both her parents came to the us at a young age ( 3 + 6 ), and it’s much to the point that she was raised as a second generation kid.
because both of her parents worked a lot ( mom a nurse, father a professor at reed college in gender studies ), so her grandparents babysat her when she was younger and her parents worked.
her mom could only understand hindi, and not speak it. her father speaks hindi, but after a conversation with their parents (her grandparents on both sides), they decided they wanted their first child to have an easier life.
so autumn was raised only on english, and any family pets were given away when she was born, in fear of them hurting the baby.
is highkey ashamed for not knowing hindi, never took the opportunity to take hindi in high school or college (took italian instead) in fear of being made fun of or shamed for not knowing the language.
and so she has to work through school to pay rent, but her parents help her pay for tuition and books.
she works at a coffee shop as a barista!
her parents were a bit strict, but only wanted best for their baby girl.
does not do drugs. drinks socially.
autumn has a tendency to see the world both as it IS and as it could be.
literally depending on her mood (and how much weed she has in her lol), she can see the world either as a studio ghibili movie, or some shitty place for everyone to live and demand that the world does better.
she wants to be in love with life, so she tries her best to do so
she loves the way a baby smells, wearing baggy sweaters that make her look even tinier, pays attention to the little things, literally stops to smell the flowers, asks someone if they’re okay if they’re looking down, smiles at strangers in the street, loves a good cup of coffee, absolutely adores tiny versions of normal things
a whole ass HOE for coffee, drinks it like her life depends on it.
not ... that smart? like yeah, she’s not failing any of her classes, but she also isn’t excelling
her rumor is in fact True
on the soccer team here tho :)
TAKEN CONNECTIONS
refuge on the roof (v1) - @sundazcd : autumn takes refuge from parties a lot, needing some time to refuel and energize herself; she comes across sunday, who’s usually smoking, and they just keep running into each other. a classic baader meinhof phenomenon until autumn cracks and finally just asks sunday for her number.
refuge on the roof (v2) - @palmerfms : true to it’s name, both jason and autumn seek refuge from being at the parties they are either dragged to, or think they should be at due to social norms in their social circles. besties bc they both hate large crowds.
different font (comic sans) - @beaunjour : autumn knows guys, okay? she was on the boy’s soccer team in high school for three years. she knows them in and out. or so ... she thinks? then beau comes along and is like naur, i can raise u one better !! and it’s actually sweet and romantic, which is weird because she never thought that she could do romance but here she is. tldr; fwb, but the benefits are ... romance.
bad influence - ( @lexiweston ) : due to lexi being her captain, autumn is inclined to hang onto every word lexi says ... even if it’s going to parties instead of studying ... even if it’s doing things autumn wouldn’t necessarily see herself doing!
WANTED CONNECTIONS
partner in crime they do literally everything together, are tied to each other’s hip, would probably die for each other idk i wouldn’t put it past them!
a go to fwb she gets stressed and needs to Un-Stress. strictly no strings attached!
more to come im just braindead
okay that’s all thanks for coming to my ted talk
