[ cisfemale, she/her, danielle campbell, 24 ] there goes BLISSIE DUVAL walking down center street ! i can’t believe they’ve been living in derry for TWENTY-FOUR YEARS. last i’ve heard, they’re UNAWARE of the existence of pennywise. i wonder if BLISS is going to stay and fight or watch the town burn to the ground. perhaps it’s because SHE reminds me of POETRY BOOKS STAINED WITH COFFEE RINGS & CIGARETTE ASH, FINGERS COVERED IN COLORFUL PAINTS, & FLICKERING NEON SIGNS, but i think they might FIGHT. either way, they’ll never be the same after this year. [ eli, she/her, 24, pst, na ]
hey there demons, it’s me, ya boi!!
first thing’s first: unfortunately i’m busy today but i’ll be checking in on mobile and hopefully will be around later tonight if anyone would like to plot! feel free to send me a dm or like this quickly thrown together lil intro and i’ll send you a message!
so without further adieu, here is a v v sloppy intro for blissie! i’m sorry!
(this is legit maybe the worst thing i have ever written pls don’t judge)
born and raised in derry, blissie’s home life stood in stark contrast to the idyllic facade of the town. always a bit of a rebel rouser, blissie was a lesson in patience for her parents.
her older brother was always seen as the golden child, and although throughout childhood, her relationship with her brother was good, she began to get jealous of how ‘easy’ his life seemed to be. he was the classic popular football player, he made good grades and generally just seemed to have an easy time navigating life.
blissie, on the other hand, was the black sheep. she took an interest in art and the macabre from an early age. she kept to herself in her younger years and paid little attention to any class that wasn’t art related. she began to resent how her parents always seemed to compare her to her older brother, and she slowly started to remove herself from her family.
in high school, blissie fell in with what her parents called “the wrong crowd.” while they were seen as ‘bad kids,’ blissie never felt more accepted than when she was with them. they made her realize that there were people in derry who would share and encourage her interests and like her separately from her brother.
when her older brother turned 18, he was accepted into an ivy league school and left derry. although he came back for holidays occasionally, he began a career in the city after college and became a ‘success story’ - someone who made it out.
blissie, on the other hand, stayed firmly planted in derry. when she was 17, her dad left the family unexpectedly. it completely blindsided them and blissie had no idea what had happened until a few months later. it turned out, blissie’s mom was pregnant and it had caused a huge rift between her parents that had been brewing under the surface for months. this time in her life was one of the darkest, but also best. even though her dad left, blissie felt a strong immediate love for her baby brother, elliot.
after high school, blissie moved out and went to an art school in the area. but after two years or so, she had to drop out. her mom had slowly been slipping into a deep depression. when she was at her worst, blissie would go over to their house to take care of her mother and little brother. but soon, they were so frequent that she was missing classes and essentially had a full time job nannying.
blissie has tried multiple times to get her mom help, and even though she has been prescribed medicine, she will sometimes unexpectedly stop taking it and slip back into a hugely depressive state. because of this, blissie has considered herself her brother’s primary caretaker for a while now. she got a job apprenticing at a tattoo shop and balances that with taking elliot (now 7) to school, picking him up, making sure he’s fed and taken care of, etc.
