hello !!!! i’m sara and this here is your resident people pleaser mr. darcy! below you'll find some more abt him <3
[ MILES HEIZER, HE/HIM, CIS MALE ] | [ DARCY WILLIAM HOLLAND ] just threw their bags into the car. With [ THE CHAIN BY FLEETWOOD MAC ] and the AC blasting, they depart [ BOSTON, MA ] with an [ ICED MOCHA ] in their hand. Off to see their high school friends who know them as [ DARCY ] when they’re really [ THE PEOPLE PLEASER ] now. The past five years, they’ve been [ ASSISTANT TEACHING AND LEARNING NEW LANGUAGES ] and it’s been pretty [ REWARDING ]. A few of the other pact members might be surprised by [ FAILED NEW HAIRSTYLE EXPERIMENTS, HANGING OUT WITH THE DOG AT A PARTY, WEARING EXCLUSIVELY RIPPED JEANS ].
everything i’ve written about him can be found on this page, and here’s a stats page with other random things, but here is pretty much a summary !!
darcy was always a little more optimistic than was necessary, especially in his early years. he always liked to assume the best of people in any given situation. looking back on his childhood, darcy was always the first to make an excuse for fiona not being around, or to suggest a solution to a problem before it could become a bigger one (no matter how bad of a suggestion it was). from the very beginning, all darcy wanted to do was help.
this stemmed from how shy he was as a kid. his sister or hannah were always there to make him feel safe, and darcy found himself wanting to give that back throughout his life. he gained more confidence as he got older and would always stand up for the people he cared about. he learned to stand tall and be a support for others in the same way others had been for him.
darcy was always just Kind Of good at a lot of things, and not Exceptionally Good at any one specific thing. so he never really knew what he wanted to do with his life. he even took a gap year after high school just to continue trying to figure it out. he had been going to therapy on and off since hannah had left, and his therapist was the one to turn him toward special education. it made sense, because helping people was what darcy wanted to do most. and he hasn’t looked back.
little tidbits n things
darcy loves real hard. he will do anything 4 his friends. especially that circle of people from high school, because while they may have been a little dysfunctional at times, they were always familiar.
he’s fluent in ASL thanks to his minor in deaf studies!
he has a rescue pup named ferris, after his favorite movie.
he’s grown to be a bit more of a realist than an optimist, but he still chooses to see the good in most situations. he tries to turn bad times into learning experiences and things like that.
he apologizes way too often. he also rolls his eyes a lot without realizing it, and drives way too fast.
he absolutely loves to watch football but has never and will never pick one up. he might kick your ass at baseball, though.
for all of his calm, understanding qualities, he can still be a bit impatient. which is why he drives too fast. please don’t get in a car with darcy, ty.
he can sort of switch his sociability on and off. when he’s around people he loves, he’s naturally very open. when it’s an unfamiliar crowd/space, he can still be pretty out there and social, but then he’ll become a recluse once he gets home to chill out.
i would love to plot with everybody so slide into my dms or discord and let’s do it :)
