oliverthcmas:

Brown hues widened when his phone let off a vibration, a notification from Tinder informing him that someone had matched with him, swiping open and staring at his screen with a slightly agape mouth, “AH!” Oliver squeaks, giving a shake of his head as he turned to the person beside him, “What do I do? What do I do? Should I send him flowers? Chocolates?” Anxiously gnawing at the tip of his fingernail, “I don’t know how to do this. Should I quit while I’m ahead? That sounds like a GOOD plan. I could send him PRAYING hands emoji, you know cause I’m blessed that he liked me…Please…Help.”

        as the other piped up next to her, manuela couldn’t help but to jump up slightly, a bit startled by the squeak coming from oliver as she glanced between him and his phone. “okay, dude, don’t worry -- i got you. i’m pretty much a tinder pro, at this point. not pro like a prostitute, but, if using tinder was worth any class credit, i’m pretty sure i’d be graduating by now.” she’d gotten the hint that the other seemed to easily fall into distress, but it surprised her nonetheless to see oliver freaking out about a match, a stern look firmly etched on manu’s face as she held up one of her hands, intending to stop him in the tracks of his tirade about flowers and chocolate. “no, no, dial it back -- like, a whole lot back, start over. just listen very closely to what i have to say, okay? i don’t mean this to discourage you, at all, but a lot of people on tinder are all bark and no bite. so even if this one interaction doesn’t go well, don’t sweat it. just... hold back on the treats. and maybe the emojis too. hand it over,” she said, holding out her open hand to him, “i want to see his profile.”

        although there was some humour to be found at the sight of manu planted at the other’s doorstep, clutching tightly onto a pillow and with a deep frown etched onto her face, she was clearly finding the situation to be anything but funny. “come on, can’t you let me crash here today? really? i wouldn’t ask if i wasn’t pretty much desperate. spending twelve hours a day confined in my room with my roommate is proving to be challenging, to say the least. i don’t even have classes to distract me anymore. at this point i’m afraid we’re going to murder each other before whoever is out there can get to us. maybe i could have eased tensions, a little -- i don’t think she appreciated me playing soko’s we might be dead by tomorrow in a loop, but to be fair, i don’t appreciate her bringing her boyfriend over and dry humping for an hour while i’m right there, so you can say we’re even.” the rant was delivered with very few changes in inflection, monotonous as if she were reading off of a grocery list, with only a hint of urgency underlying her words. to further her point, manu shook the pillow in their direction, eyebrows raising slightly as if to indicate she meant business. “i’m not even asking for an entire bed. i’ll make do with a couch, or a chair, or any vaguely padded horizontal surface. i promise you’ll barely notice me.”

hey y’all -- i’m lou, i’m 23 and i am proud to present you with a disastrous human being called manu. you can peep a little bit about her under the cut and feel free to give this a like if you want to get some plots going!

manuela was raised by fairly religious, conservative parents, learning her voice didn’t matter much in her household and she was supposed to live up to certain expectations.

this made her relationship with her parents considerably strained; despite the fact that she loves them and knows they love her, she couldn’t be the person they wanted her to be, making manu feel suffocated in her own home and pushing her to leave at seventeen.

college prompted her to move to another state, something that displeased her family as well as her choice of degree, which only prompted manu to want to succeed. eventually, she left brazil altogether in favor of better academic opportunities.

having grown used to fending for herself and having to make whatever situation work, manu is fiercely independent and very resourceful, something she highly values about herself.

more often than not, manu does whatever she wants whenever she wants to, her habit of doing first and thinking later often becoming an issue in interpersonal relationships. commitment isn’t something she likes very much.

manu has a tendency of presenting an aloof, detached persona, not being one to wear her heart on her sleeve and seemingly uninterested in most of what goes on around her even though that much is rarely true, her dry humor and deadpan delivery only furthering that image.

although she’s very dedicated to her academic life, manu likes to party hard when she’s not studying, and doesn’t say no to much in life. she’s gotten herself in her fair share of trouble, but things seem to work well for her so far.

she can come off as a little bit self-centered since she can’t shut up, ever, and is seemingly in love with the sound of her own voice.
