eleonora song

“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being, with an independent will; which I now exert to leave you.”

(  natasha liu bordizzo  ,  cisfemale  ,  she/her  ,  winona  ryder )  have  you  turned  on  your  tv  lately  ?  all  they  ever  talk  about  now  is  ELEONORA  SONG .  apparently  the ACTRESS  is  the  biggest  thing  in  hollywood  right  now  ,  which  is  crazy  because  they’re  only TWENTY-FOUR years  old .  i  hope  they  don’t  let  it  get  to  their  head  ,  but  you  know  what  they  say  about an  AQUARIUS  .  my  cousin  met  them  once  ,  and  she  said  they  reminded  her  of dried mug stains on faded wood, sitting on a roof in the middle of the night with your face tilted towards the moon, soft singing and small smiles filling the silence .  in  an  interview  they  said  that  their  dream  is  to WIN AN OSCAR AND ENJOY THE ART  ,  but  i  guess  only  time  will  tell  if  they  end  up  being  a  flop  or  not  .

HISTORY

She was born in White Plains, New York to a mother who didn’t want her, and a father who didn’t have the time for her. He was a business man, she was a woman who would rather spend her time in bed with the mailman than be a parent. Eleonora had always been a perceptive child, and she understood early on how life with her family worked.

Ellie was quiet and unassuming as a child, with small, quiet smiles and a calm demeanor that made people praise her and overlook her. She spent her time reading, and painting, and listening to music. She was always a hard worker, and as she grew older she wasn’t sure that she could afford to not be a hard worker— she wasn’t sure if “acting out” would be worth any of the trouble.

Her 5th grade music teacher said she had a pretty voice, and in 6th grade, her father took their family to see Sunday in the Park with George.

She fell in love with acting. She fell in love with the craft, and the complexity and all its moving parts, and she adored the strength and mental fortitude it takes to become all these people, and tell all their stories. She did the middle school plays, she took theatre class at school, she did it all. Her father paid for it all, because it was a good way to get her out of the house.

She went to auditions as an upperclassman in high school, going from open casting calls to having an agent, and her career took off quickly. She went for kooky characters, finding pieces of herself in them all while also finding all the ways she’s different from them all.

She’s quiet and elusive to the media, but she’s charming and her voice rarely wavers. She knows that to make it far, she has to be ready to dig her heels sometimes. She loves the work, and she loves the art, and she wants to do it all, and try everything.

She loves her friends, loves the people she’s found doing this. She’s carefree, some days, and she loves spending those days with people who love her too. Fuck her parents— this world may not be perfect, but she’s carving a space for herself, and she’s going to fill it as lovingly as she can.

HEADCANONS/TIDBITS

— She’s very much an actress who loves acting. Her first touch of theatre and acting was stuff like Sunday in the Park with George and West Side Story and A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream, and she fell in love with the art of becoming someone else, and telling someone else’s story

— She’s a hard worker, and loves to make friends with the people she works with. She’s a little shy, but acting is all about exposing vunerabilities, and that is easier done when you get along with the people you’re working with

— She paints and writes poetry in her spare time, because her apartment has a pretty view that begs to be immortalized

— She often acts as a mediator in arguments, if she’s not completely staying away from the situation. 

— She is quite calm and level-headed and reticent at first glance, but sometimes that is the way she hides her anxiousness and nerves.

— She’s not reall an up-and-comer anymore, but she’s still on the rise, career-wise! 

— She is a music lover. She loves all kinds of music, and you’re just as likely to catch her bopping her head to the Bee Gees as you are to see her bopping to David Bowie.

— Just in general, she’s the girl who’s a little quiet, and firm in her beliefs and what she wants to do. She has a voice, she just chooses to use it sparingly, so that when she does, it is more impactful.

— She loves a good beach, and loves a good empty road. She loves having fun, just as she loves working.

— Her stage name is Eleonora Song, because that’s her mother’s maiden name.

CONNECTIONS

Give me friends. Give me past coworkers turned friends. Give me a slowburn love, a full friendship that slowly becomes something different. Give me people she met at parties that she just bonded with. Give me first loves, maybe that one person she’ll return to some day, when she’s older and wiser. Give me people she’s taken under her a wing, people she’s become protective over. Give me people she respects. Give me relationship dynamics with someone that she has a tumultuous history with, where there is loyalty even if they don’t always get along. Give me everything.

“ absolutely  no  grace, ”  seb  hums,  steadying  ellie  as  she  reached  for  him,  locked  in  a  sort  of  vice  grip.  “ no  tact.  and  people  wonder  why  i  spent  that  summer  in  russia  studying  ballet.  ”  his  grip  on  her  falls  as  he  springs  onto  his  toes,  nearly  collapsing  into  his  own  fit  of  snorts.  he’s  not  as  charming  as  he  is  on  screen  when  he’s  downing  a  beverage  from  a  red  solo  cup,  curls  usually  slicked  or  cut  falling  loosely  in  his  eyes.  he  almost  forgets  that  things  are  awkward  with  eleonora  now   -   almost,  and  if  it  wasn’t  for  the  way  he  stumbles  back  to  flat  feet,  maybe  the  moment  would  disappear  completely.  but  there’s  reality  again.  “ you  …  uh …  hey.  didn’t  know  you  were  invited. ”  it’s  not  supposed  to  sound  so  shitty.  it’s  not  supposed  to  be  mean.  they’ve  both  been  doing  a  lot  of  growing,  and  his  sister  is  always  telling  him  that  he  should  probably  work  on  himself,  not  just  his  characters.  but  he’s  never  been  one  to  take  unsolicited  advice.  “ haven’t  seen  you  in  a  minute.  been  working. ”  like  he’s  been  walled  up  in  an  office.  like  his  face  hasn’t  been  plastered  everywhere  from  ventura  to  vine.  

The familiar voice was a shock to her system, and the characteristically dry response made her laugh. Her fingers reflexively reached up to gently smooth one of Seb’s errant curls away from his eyes— the impulse had been too instinctual for her to halt. But now the moment had passed, and she quickly snatched her hand away as his snorts faded. It had been awhile since she’d seen him, and the silence that fell between them was awkward— and it pained her to remember how easy their conversations used to be. But that was then, and this is now. At his fumbling words, she raised a single eyebrow before sighing softly. “I wasn’t planning on coming, but you know how it is.” Friday nights were never planned— but in their circle, sooner or later everybody ended up at the same place. “Not that I’m whining about it all— it’s a good party... They’ve got good gin.”

[eleonorahq]

A cup was held loosely between her fingers as she wandered around the room, eyes taking in the flashing lights and the drunken partygoers. The party was great, but she knew that right now, all she wanted was some fresh air. Eleonora deftly made her way through the crowd to the backdoor, tilting her head back as the bass thumped through the air, enjoying the music even as she got closer to the door— before cursing as someone bumped into her. “Fuck,” she whispered as she stumbled into someone. Her cup fell from her fingers, but she paid it no attention as she whirled around to steady the person she’d bumped into. “Sorry about that,” she said, an apologetic smile on her face. “Some schmuck tripped over his own feet and shoved me— are you alright?”

[eleonorahq]

mvlcxlms​:

“  eh  ,  mine’s  probably  in  the  pocket  of  my  pants  that  i  left  at  some  girl’s  house  ,  ”  he  shrugs  ,  leaning  forward  to  light  his  cigarette  before  pulling  back  so  the  smoke  wouldn’t  go  right  into  her  face  .  “  thank  you  ,  ”  he  says  sincerely  ,  a  bright  smile  on  his  face  as  he  looks  at  the  familiar  girl  . “  would  it  be  weird  to  ask  for  your  autograph  right  now  ?  i  feel  like  i  never  see  you  around  anymore  ,  and  if  that’s  your  subtly  way  of  trying  to  get  rid  of  me  then  i  need  something  to  remember  you  by  .  ”

Eleonora laughed brightly at Malcolm’s comment, already able to picture the circumstances in her mind’s eye. It wasn’t an unfamiliar situation, and his hijinks were endlessly amusing. “Don’t need to thank me,” she replied easily, pocketing the lighter once more. “And you can ask me for an autograph only if I get to ask you for an autograph too.” She poked him gently, her eyes fond. “You were brilliant as Stu. Honestly. Real psychotic, but in the best way.” Scream had been a great movie, with so many great subversions of expectations. She couldn’t help but be excited for what would come next, for Malcolm and for horror as a genre.

Angel would never get used to these wack fucking charity galas. If it were up to him, he’d have turned down the invitation — why the hell would he willinging spend thousands of dollars to dress up in stuffy clothes and eat bland unseasoned food? Whatever, it was his agent who kept drilling into how important these events were when it came to networking. So that’s how he ended up seated at a round table with people way more talented then himself who probably had no clue what this dude with pink hair was doing there. “ I always forget which fork I’m supposed to be using… ” he thought aloud as he stared at the plate in front of him, “ Which is the one you use to stab your eye out? ”

[eleonorahq]

Some days, Eleonora couldn’t quite figure out how her life had gotten to this point. And yet, here she was, in a black gown— and at a table with no real familiar faces, save for one. She could only thank God that she’d ended up at a table with Angel. An inelegant snort escaped her at his question, and she nudged him gently, pointing at the way the forks were placed. “Usually, you start with the leftmost fork, then work your way inwards,” she replied softly. “And if you wanna stab your eye out, I suggest using a knife. It’ll be cleaner and faster and probably less painful than three prongs.”

“  listen  ,  the  other  day  a  fan  gave  a  tamagotchi  and  it  was  going  well  ,  it  hatched  from  the  egg  and  i’d  feed  it  but  then  this  floating  skull  thing  popped  up  and  i  must’ve  left  it  for  ..  i  dunno’  a  day  or  something  and  it  was  dead  .  ”  yohan  explains  rather  candidly  ,  mostly  embarrassed  that  he’d  been  defeated  by  a  kids  game  but  also  confused  as  to  how  often  he  was  supposed  to  play  it  .  “  do  i  really  have  to  look  after  it  like  it’s  a  real  pet  ?  ‘cause  i  didn’t  sign  up  to  be  a  pet  father  again  .  ”  he  pulls  out  the  yellow  miniature  toy  from  his  pocket  ,  looking  at  it  in  defeat  before  setting  it  down  besides  his  almost  empty  glass  .

[eleonorahq]

Eleonora sipped from her coffee cup, staring as Yohan continued to spiel. She’d seen Tamagotchis, and she knew they were a new toy craze, but she didn’t exactly have much experience with one. “I don’t know— maybe?” Her coffee was still hot, and she took off the lid and blew gently, smiling as the scent of coffee filled the air. “How are your turtles? Have they gotten bigger?” A turtle was not an ordinary pet, but the man in front of her was not an ordinary man— and Yohan’s two turtles were actually pretty cute.

“  hey  ,  you  got  a  light  ?  ”  malcolm  asks  the  closest  person  he  can  find  ,  an  unlit  cigarette  clinging  to  his  lips  as  he  still  continues  to  pat  down  his  jacket  pockets  in  the  hope  that  he  could  still  find  his  lighter  hidden  in  their  depths  .  fuck  ,  and  that  was  his  favorite  lighter  too  ,  he  doesn’t  think  he’ll  be  able  to  lift  another  one  from  jack  nicholson  any  time  soon  .  

[eleonorahq]

Eleonora glanced at Malcolm, before she dug into the depths of her leather jacket, easily finding the lighter that had been forgotten there a while ago. She doesn’t actually remember how she got ahold of this one— she doesn’t even smoke all that much. “Where’s yours?” she asked, a small smile settling on her face as she slowly moved to lean against the wall behind them. “Coulda sworn you had your own.” Her fingers deftly flipped the lighter before she held it out for him to use.
