descript: dylan is an actor. one who is very, very good at portraying one specific character, but he’s been doing it for so long that he can’t quite tell where the character ends and where he begins. the character in this instance is the dylan o'hara most people in cardinal hill know and despise. dylan has created a narrative for himself where he’s the bad guy, and he finds increasingly more excessive ways to display this narrative. dylan is fuelled in this by his own entertainment. what does he gain from each interaction? he has no interest in being liked, no interest in genuine social connections, all he’s doing when he socialises is scouting out ways to entertain himself, whether it’s through casual sex or more often through manipulation, making people think he’s their friend so he can use it against them, through teasing people, low blows, hitting them right where they’re the weakest. because he’s good at delivering verbal punches and making them sound amusing, he’s witty, and he doesn’t give enough of a fuck about his own safety to mind any consequences.
partially, this character is in place for dylan's own self preservation. part of him believes, deep down, that if he keeps pushing people away and never lets anyone in and covers himself with a thick layer of sarcasm and bullying, he’ll never be hurt again. and then maybe a little bit of him wants other people to be hurting as much as he is inside. because truthfully, underneath it all, dylan is wracked with guilt and constantly blaming himself for so much of his mother’s problems and his own abandonment that he can’t quite keep it all inside and needs to throw it onto the world around him. he doesn’t allow himself to have connections, because he doesn’t think he is deserving of them. he has never quite felt understood by another person, and he never thinks he will.
bio
(t/ws for drug addiction, alcoholism, abandonment, overdose, incarceration and death)
dylan thomas o'hara was born in galway, the second child of an irish mother and a father who was never really in the picture. growing up, his early childhood was pretty much defined by his mother's addiction - she was a teenager when she gave birth to him and his older brother, and an alcoholic, although by the time dylan was five she had graduated to heroin. as a result, he was cared for more by his older brother than his mother, until he went to prison when dylan was 16. he felt abandoned, as a result, and at this point went completely off the rails, acting out at school, engaging in juvenile delinquent behaviour, and being caught one or two times and facing the consequences.
at the same time, dylan began to experience strange symptoms he couldn't quite explain. splitting headaches that left him bedridden for days on end. uncontrollable nosebleeds that seemed to strike out of nowhere. and if he hadn't known better and known that they must be hallucinations, he could have sworn sometimes strange things happened around him, objects moving before he touched them, or strange dreams of things that ended up coming to pass. he went to doctors, who just shrugged and told him he likely was just having migraines, and prescribed a cocktail of pain medication that didn't seem to touch it. but dylan had never been the most open of people anyway, and he settled to just not talk about it with anyone, explain days off of school away with an excuse of bunking off or being hungover. for him, at least, it was believable. what he didn't know, and he still doesn't know, is that he is the first witch born into his family in generations.
by 19, he was truly alone for the first time in his short life. his mother died of an overdose, and with his brother now estranged from his life and his father nowhere to be found dylan had little left in ireland to bother with. his father had been a cardinal hill native, and he figured despite his fraught relationship with the man, he might as well move countries, securing a job as a mechanic having done an apprenticeship back home. he still doesn't know about witches, but the strange symptoms persist....
