𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐎𝐍𝐄 of the first people he’d sent the new album to when it was done. she was one of the few non sycophantic people in la he could trust not to fawn over his music just in hopes they’d get a song or two written about them to post on their insta story. he trusted her opinion ( one of the highest compliments considering how vacuous he found californians ), and trusted she would tell him the honest truth. now that it was done and out, he couldn’t think of anyone better to celebrate with. “so?” he said, eyebrows raised expectantly like a child waiting for praise. he sat back in his chair, his apartment was minimal save a few worn out books ( classics, most of them poetry or french ) he had scattered about the place not so much as decoration, but necessity – these days he barely slept. “go on, tell me how much of a genius i am, i can tell you’re just dying to gush and fawn.”
there were so few in the industry with whom she felt a genuine connection, let alone an earnest sense of pride to be given the opportunity to share in their accomplishments. such revere was saved for a special few, and lennox held an unmoving place at the top of that list. ‘ mm not your worst work yet, ’ she mused, sly grin preceding her comment, waiting just moments before following up, ‘ but seriously, it’s beautiful len, you should be incredibly proud of yourself. ’ the girl was not one to make a fuss or spew compliments unless they were well deserved, and she knew that to be something he understood, adding to the weight of what might otherwise be seen as a simple compliment. ‘ how does it feel ? being done and all, i mean. i know how much you’ve put in to this. ’ the question seemed innocent but was laced with concern, it was so important to her that he was reminded of how she cared for him.
arm sprawled over her shoulder , kit takes advantage of the fact that the bench they’re sitting on is very public and anyone walking by can see the pair together. wasn’t that they were supposed to seem like an item , but he made it a point to seem extra friendly with her. not that it was such a bad thing ! ❛ so , tell me so i don’t seem like a completely useless friend. what’s been going on this week ? anything new i should know about ? ❜
earlier in her career a moment like this would have filled her with UNEASE , but she’d become a seasoned veteran in allowing people to believe what they want to believe, and it was always much easier when paired with someone she could genuinely get along with. her head tilted just so as she worked through her mind to come up with an answer to his question. ‘ i’ve got a VOGUE interview coming up, one of those seventy three question videos that - if i’m being honest - i hate. what about you ? any unearthed bar fight footage i should keep an eye out for ? ’ she mused, taking on an overtly joking tone in an attempt to remind him that she was on his side.

biography
daphne was born in the ‘ ski capital of the east ’ stowe, vermont. a town of just over four thousand people, the expectation of her excelling in an acting career was almost non-existent. but she was certain of her talent and she knew there was only one thing she wanted from life, so she moved to LA fresh out of high school and got to work with small jobs, slowly building up to her first truly big break with lady macbeth
after that she began her rise to real stardom, filming midsommar and little women and racking up nominations for a variety of awards, including the academy award for best supporting actress. that being said, she’s won few of the awards she was nominated for, always a bridesmaid never a bride or whatever, and that’s weighed on her pretty heavily.
all she can see is this conception of being the best, being beloved, and a lot of that lies in producing exceptional work and perfecting a public persona that makes her the height of elegance and someone it is impossible not to be a fan of
big ol’ fake right here, she never really lets anyone see the real her, the girl who snorts when she laughs and and panics before every interview, and she tries not to keep anyone too close because it’s just another opportunity for scandal
so that’s some intense pressure, which leads to the explanation of her sin - wrath. daphne’s prone to fits of rage, tantrums when she’s alone in her hotel room, rambled rants in the makeup chair between takes, profuse apologies afterwards. she’ll smile in front of the cameras and make you regret it in private, i promise you.
she’s not afraid to use people for her own benefit, but she has this way about her that makes you feel semi-grateful you even got the opportunity to be apart of her larger plan
hasn’t kept close contact with her parents since moving, they weren’t in love with the idea and she was not going to allow herself to be held back. she justifies ignoring their calls by saying she’s cutting out negative energy
has been trying her best for so long, doesn’t remember what it’s like to feel normal, just has a bunch of pent up aggression and sadness but it’s fine she’s fine
wanted connections
someone she’s known since the beginning of her career, maybe they used to work on smaller projects together or go to the same auditions while they were starting up, but maybe there’s a lil bit of a connection there bc they knew/liked one another before the fame and now they just vibe together
imagine the potential of two people who bother each other so much and then eventually start to see the good in one another but it’s complicated but hey we’re both on this elevator so why not kiss but then the door opens and it’s ur floor and i don’t get off and we don’t see each other for a week and when we do we pretend it didn’t happen bc we just started being friends and then who knows ... just a thought
exes ? maybe they were in love maybe it was just pr idk
surrogate family ! since her parents are cut off she does need someone to love and care for her a lil bit and also to reciprocate that with she’s not completely heartless
enemies / rivals, someone who’s constantly trying to best her and with whom she is trying to do the same
publicity friendship maybe ? they hangout on occasion bc they know their fans are obsessed w them being friends and love a good photo op but lowkey dont like each other
that’s all i have but hey .. we’ll figure smth out if u don’t like those
