Hey! Welcome to my blog. You can call me Rory (they/them), I’m 27 and a full time university student so my time may be all over the place. This blog is 18+, private, so I prefer to only write with mutuals/people I am following. Other than that, please see below for links. 

Note: This blog is a sideblog and follows will come from @emptyvictory​.

@beatyourass​ (Sade) sent: ❝ you look like you have something on your mind, ❞ sade said, counting the number of flowers in a painting on the wall. some replication from some old, fancy artist who's long been dead. it'd look cheap in a less luxurious hotel room. michael always looked preoccupied, though. mostly with his own misery. and, with learning him more with each of their meetings, she could see why. he was a mess.

    “Ah,” Michael replied with a slightly dismissive wave. 

    There was always SOMETHING. It was mostly family issues and his midlife crisis, but recently it felt like his anger was getting out of check. It was his home life, it was this FUCKING CITY, he didn’t know but something was pulling his string tight. Michael appreciated Sade’s understanding, but even he knew he shouldn’t be doing THIS either. (A bitter voice reminded him that he wasn’t the only one doing this, but that didn’t make it RIGHT.) Yet, he still came back. 

    “It’s the same bullshit I told you a million times before,” he continued, “I need a smoke, but you wanna get somethin’ to eat? I need to get out a bit.”

@fehlicitaes​ (Amanda) sent: ❝ these days, you don’t seem to appreciate anything. ❞

    “Ah, right.” 

    He really couldn’t hide the BITE in his tone--what the fuck was there to be APPRECIATIVE of? Big, lonely house with a family who acted like they’d prefer if he just up and left. (Hell, maybe he SHOULD.) Michael couldn’t help the tension that flooded into him, turning to make his way toward the kitchen. 

    “Guess I don’t count my blessings enough, let’s see--my kids hate me, and when they actively aren’t, Jim is selling my things to buy drugs and I got no clue what’s goin’ on with Tracey half the damn time. Oh, yeah, there’s that tennis coach that seems to think I’m payin’ him to hang around my wife. I’m surprised you haven’t asked me to do up the guest bedroom for him. I can’t believe how fuckin’ LUCKY I am, Amanda.”

@romancemoon​ sent: ❝ i didn’t think i was that well-known. ❞ after someone took a photo with him while they're trying to relax somewhere. you know he forgets... himself.

    Michael watched the whole exchange with some mild interest, leaned back on one of the benches near the beach as Virote did a quick photo-op with a fan. 

   He knew who he was and his profession, but he guessed he just wasn’t READILY there to witness proof of that outside of the odd thing. It was a nice evening at least and he was in somewhat high spirits, everything considered. So, Virote’s comment only raised a slight wave of Michael’s hand as he turned to look along the beach. 

    “Guess not,” Michael replied, “Though, hey, at least you’re livin’ the dream most people would want in this city. Wouldn’t be surprised if there were some starving artists wanting that type of recognition.”

@fehlicitaes​ (Franklin) sent: ❝ well, this is a warm welcome. ❞

horizon z.ero dawn sentence starters -- no longer accepting

    Yeah, it was. 

    Though, considering everything, Michael figured walking in on him arguing with someone would be normal enough for anybody who KNEW him. Especially considering it was Trevor who had shouted the last venomous word before shouldering by Franklin in his rush to get out of the house. Considering how Michael knew him, he was surprised he didn’t STAY if only to make things worse.

    Michael ran a hand down his face, cutting Franklin a look out of the corner of his eye at his comment. 

    “Yeah,” he replied around a small huff, “well, y’know how it is. Ol’ Trev and I still can’t seem to agree on one thing or another. Always gotta make it MY fuckin’ problem. Eh. What do I owe the visit, Frank? Can’t stay I’m much company right now.”

First round of posts are queued up! I’m still trying to iron out the wrinkles in my portrayal so hopefully things aren’t too off. Thank you for the patience, my motivation to write has been all over the place lately.

I have no class tomorrow so I’m going to play some g.tav tonight and work up some muse for Michael.
