hiiiii, lovelies !! i’m chelsea, and this is my fluffy little son braden. and since i’m a lazy fuck i’m just gonna include my application for bray, andddd yeah, you should def read through it and come hmu for plots! you can message me through the little chat thing, or on aim @ tomlinfck ! i’m actually s h i t at coming up w/ plots, but i’m pretty much up for everything!! now onto braden:
{BRADEN WELLS} is {EIGHTEEN} years old and is currently a {STUDENT}. He is known to be {ALLOCENTRIC} and {PRAGMATIC}, but at times they are {DIFFIDENT} and {TIMOROUS}, and their neighbors sometimes mistake them for {LIAM PAYNE}. His life so far could be described by the song {IT COULD BE BETTER} by {LEWIS WATSON}.
here are braden’s statistics and biography (still a wip !!)
braden was born in beverley, east yorkshire in england. he was about six years old when he was put into the foster care system, and ten when he was picked up by the wells family (who was living in london around that time). a job promotion brought the family from america to baltimore just a couple years later, where they remained throughout braden’s middle school and high school education.
because of his attachment to his parents, and his reluctance when it came to change, he decided to go to a university nearby. braden knew he’d need to createsome sense of independence, however, which is why he decided on renting an apartment while he was at school (with the help of his parents, of course). he’s rarely seen by the other tenants, what with him often holing up in his apartment, nose buried in a pile of assignments, but he has been trying to emerge more often as of late.
despite being generally friendly and warm in disposition, braden is pretty withdrawn for the most part. he’ll open up to people he trusts to a certain extent, but when it comes down to it, most of the painful memories that derived from his past remain locked up and tucked away. and because of this, he’s always weary of letting people too close.
touching is a big no-no. even with people he’s known for a while, he flinches away at the slightest of touches. it takes him a while to warm up to the point of allowing simple brushes to his shoulder, or even holding someone else’s hand. itis a point he’s able to reach with some people, as long as they’re able to be patient with him.
anything to do with software/computers/programming he loves. he’s currently majoring in software engineering and can ea S i ly nerd out for hours if you get him started on anything to do with technology. like. s e r i o u sly.
he’s obsessed with crosswords, though he never manages to finish an entire book of them for some reason. he’ll get halfway through one, set it aside, forget he even has it, and then go out and buy three more.
and finally: he’s curly!liam. all day every day.
as for the song, i figured i could go through a few of the lyrics in ‘it could be better’ and kinda talk about how they have to do with braden and his overall character!
“I don’t wanna talk ‘cause it’ll only hurt more. I don’t wanna bring it up again, 'cause it hurt like hell before”
– braden is someone who’s always been tightly wound up and protective over his past. these lyrics, in particular, signify how closed off he can be in certain areas of his life. while, in a lot of ways, he’s open, warm and honest with those he cares about, there are certain parts of his life that he refuses to delve into.
“You pull me out of my shell, and hate me when I’m done”
– one of braden’s biggest fears is being tossed aside all over again if he reveals too much about his past. even with his adoptive parents, he tiptoed around them the first few years of living with them, terrified of saying the wrong thing and being left behind in the dust like before. he tends to be like that with most of his friendships until a certain point; never quite revealing too much about himself, and instead inquiring about their lives, listening intently to each and every problem and simply offering an ear when needed. he tends to focus his energy on others, rather than bringing up his own past.
“ I’d rather forget, than have to forgive. I’d rather lose it than live with this memory”
– and finally, one of his biggest struggles has always been coming to terms with his past. a lot of it, he’s managed to block out through time and determination; along with just the sheer will to box up and toss everything that has happened to him before. but most of it comes back to him sporadically– in the form of nightmares that lead him straight into prolonged bouts of panic attacks. he knows that his refusal to come to terms with everything is causing these memories to resurface in his sleep, but the deep, dark hole of his past is somewhere he’s always been unable to venture into.
