eddie scott as I'm getting OLDER, chip up on my shoulder. rolling through life, to roll over and die. MISSING hippy jon, salad days are gone. remembering things just to tell ‘em so long oh mama, actin' like my life's already OVER. oh dear, act your age and try another year. always feeling tired, smiling when required. write another year off and kindly resign.
“I grew up [in London] in an Indian community next to a council estate, so acting was a very indulgent dream. It was like saying, ‘I’m going to be an astronaut.’”
[ DEV PATEL ] - edison scott is a twenty-six, cismale known as the vespertine, and that’s because he is lively and fearless trait as well as head-strong and cynical. he is enjoying his stay at the isle of gemini, a long way from their hometown of name of new york, new york. ( chloe, eighteen, she/her, cst )
hello, i’m chloe !! complete meme trash. not really any other way to escribe me other than those two words. meme, and trash. but you’re all not here for me, you’re here for my son eddie, who is a literal dirty gift to this world. u just need to dust him off and wash his hair but he’s good i promise !! so below you can read all about him! so give this a spicy like to plot!
he was adopted as a baby by a lovely anne and vicky scott. two precious lesbians who wanted to start a family at the age of twenty-six. eddie was the first to come along, always the prized gem of the family. but the two women had a lot more love to share.
so next came his little brother chris, and then even later, his twin brother and sister, kat and sam. all three of his siblings--- unlike eddie--- were taken directly out of the system an into the loving arms of his mother’s. his siblings were taken in at a later age, and had already seen the roughs of the world by an early age. his mother’s told him he had to provide just as much love as they did. to put it simply, he did not fall short.
he loves his siblings to the end of the earth, and coming from an LGBT family, and being children of color, they were typically at the bottom of society’s shoe. looked own upon frequently. eddie had to be the model brother for them all.
but he had a lot of anger inside of him. the world didn’t always treat them well and eddie couldn’t stand up for his mother’s, an he stood up for his brothers and sister where it was due. not to mention eddie stood up for himself. it caused for fights, an after he saw his mother’s crying over his black eye and broken knuckles, he knew it was time to change.
he channeled that energy into boxing. in high school, he began fighting in the ring to get out what he felt in life. he was good too, after enough training, the got him fighting for real. of course, his mother’s weren’t too keen on the idea of him beating people up, and getting beat up in return.
eddie didn’t look at this as a hobby. by the time of graduation, he knew he’d be going to college for fitness training. he explained to his mother’s this was not going to be something he did for fun. it was a sport, and a controlled one at that. they grew more comfortable then, and gave him their blessing. eddie probably wouldn’t have been able to do it without their approval
anyways, fast forward, he’s got his degree, works full time as a boxing instructor, fighting when it was due (eddie wasn’t a guy to really go big-leagues, that’ probably kill his mothers). he wasn’t exactly taking care of his siblings, but he was around--- a lot. eddie always stayed close to make sure they were okay and not getting in trouble. most of his life consisted of boxing, his family, and burritos.
he never took a lot of time for himself, to figure much of anything out. it was okay at the time, eddie never really noticed until the past year or so, now that kat and sam are off to college on their own, and his moms are insisting their oldest boy focus on his own life. he never took interest in his true culture, he never figure out who he was attracted to, never thought about if he wanted to live in the same part of new york his whole life. never thought about the fact that not having friends was really lonely.
it wasn’t until his mother’s surprised him with a trip to some island that he decided things were to change. really change. he’s taking this opportunity as a moment to lea into the next Big chapter of his life.
there u go !! there’s my sweet boy for you !! i’ll be adding this onto my blog shortly, and put more when i think of more. i’m excited to be here !!!
