» • * — ( aron piper, male , he/him ) . i think i hear volver a comenzar by technicolor fabrics coming from apartment 2512. doesn’t joaquin castaneda live there?? i heard they are a 24 year old music composer from montreal, quebec, but they’ve been living in the apartments for six months . they come across a bit - fickle and - arrogant , but they also seem like they could be + ingenious and + sociable. whenever i see them, i think of antique instruments being used as decoration, listening to music in the dark & crumpled up pieces of paper with lyrics scribbled down on them. oh, and don’t forget to follow them on instagram at jcastaneda !
sort of revamped him? a lot of this is the same as before. but there’s still some tweaks! if we had any connections before then it can probably be assumed that they’re still there. unless it conflicts with anything new. then we can plot out something different!

although his parents are from europe, he was born and raised in canada. due to their musical backgrounds (his mom a violinist and his dad a composer), his parents wanted to share their influence with him as early as possible. so he started playing violin before he was even five years old. he shared the same passion for music as his parents, but since he had little freedom to do much else, he started to resent playing the violin. especially when lessons cut into social time. basically: the boy was lonely af.
as a form of rebellion, he decided to pick up playing bass. this meant he tended to slack off while playing violin. but he wasn’t slacking off in school and manged to skip a grade. around this time he also befriended people who would later form a band with him. joaquin started dating a girl, too. the relationship was kind of a drag. as graduation approached, he decided to skip going to college. as you can imagine, this was quite the disappointment for his parents as they had always dreamed of him getting into a prestigious music school. he was just really burnt out by the demands of his parents and his education and needed time to figure things out. so he left canada and distanced himself.
he was still in and out of a relationship with that should have already ended. part of him liked the comfort of having a girlfriend. but when they finally broke up, it felt like a weight was lifted off his shoulders. he liked being able to do whatever he wanted. this also lead to him realizing that he wasn’t really into girls at all. the band fizzled out. which he didn’t mind so much. then he slept with his friend, julian, and caught feels. stupid. messy. feels. something he had to work out without hurting their friendship.
he’s kind of been doing some soul searching for the past six months. actually listened to his parents somewhat and went back to school after the band thing didn’t work out. for him, he has an on/off relationship with school. he already has a career building by composing for people. and connections through his parents. but he hasn’t completely abandoned school.
facts that don’t fit anywhere:
his parents still send him money
downplays his intelligence sometimes
uses groups of people as siblings because he was an only child
doesn’t catch feels very easily
arrogant when it comes to music / perfectionist too
more confident than he used to be / over compensates
drinks dumb bitch juice and makes mistakes sometimes
thinks vaping looks stupid
surprisingly good at cooking
sometimes ignorant (socially)
can (almost) pass as cool
i mean, it's one banana, michael. what could it cost, $10?
friends, enemies, in-between…
i honestly am the absolute worst when it comes to connections?
maybe someone who has family history. their parents didn’t get along? so now they don’t really get along? but it’s dumb. and they actually should be friends?
a fangirl who is upset that he quit the band? maybe blames him for the band breaking up? (it’s probably not pink slip at this point. another band).
a girl he hooked up (or almost did) before he realized that it really wasn’t for him? (but now they’re cool and probably joke about it. and they’re friends).
again. terrible at coming up with wanted connections.
guy friends. he doesn’t have a brotp.
more frenemies (especially anyone who points out that he is actually a nerd)
casual friends. anyone he goes to the gym with. or mingles with when there is a social event going on. might text each other memes sometimes.
a wing man. not necessarily to get him dates. but someone who can take him under their wing? since he’s more confident now. but doesn't really know how to use it?
a distant friend. someone that has grown distant from him. or he grew distant from them. doesn’t have to be anything dramatic. but still they aren’t as close now.
alright this is all i have right now. i am always up for brainstorming.
thanks for reading this. i really tried?
