as breezy wiped the water droplets from the wine glasses, she looked up at the other. “i went to a party over the weekend,” she took a pause to place the glasses together and grab a drink. “all i did was walk into the place and i heard someone yell ‘dibs!’ within the crowd.” she started laughing a bit behind her glass of water. “little did he know that i’m off limits,” she joked a bit with her customer. “anyways, how was your weekend?” breezy asked the other.

“ seems kinda predatory , honestly. ” mano laughed , a brow raised and nose crinkled at her words. the only time he’d called dibs on something was when he wanted the front seat of a car , not the chance to hook up with a human being - though maybe he was being melodramatic. “ i had a gig at a wedding , which started off well until the best man tried to crash the stage. ”

francisco lachowski , cis male , he/him ⇴ have you seen MANOEL ‘MANO’ SOUSA hanging around golden gate? i heard they’re from the SOUTH building, room S300, and live with ONE roommate. the TWENTY-SIX year old is A MUSICIAN and always reminds me of IMPISH SMIRKS, NOTES ON YOUR PALMS, UNBUTTONED SHIRTS. i wonder if that’s because of their FACETIOUS but PERCEPTIVE personality.

i'm just sat here with a face mask on ignoring my responsibilities as i type up this trash intro because ur girl is DONE with studying for the day ! i’ve had muse for a francisco muse for sooo long and i’m so happy to finally bring my baby to light ! if u love Fuckboys With Big Hearts™ then you’ve come to the right place ! in my mind , mano is a mix of chris & freddy from skins , peter pan & that one rich dude from skam. pls like this or hmu if u wanna plot !! yes i used that gif because he looks hot

BACKGROUND

manoel was born in brazil but moved to america when he was ten. his father was in his life for a short amount of time after the move , before he left the family to their own devices. his absence meant that the sousa family consisted of himself , his mother , his older brother and his younger sister. 

growing up wasn’t the smoothest ride ; his brother had begun acting out ever since their father left & his mother had a constant battle with alcohol. mano rarely spent time at home , and if he did it was usually only in the company of his younger sister

he’s always had a close-knit bond with his sister , gives of HUGE protective brother vibes 

his relationship with his brother was a little more temperamental , especially as his brother started acting out. mano kinda resented him for not being there for their family , and silently felt abandoned by his big bro 

it wasn’t long before his brother got himself landed in jail for dealing , & his mother’s drinking habits grew worse and worse

social services didn’t get involved until he was eighteen. his sister was taken into care , leaving mano to try and care for his mother alone. 

fast-forward two years  ⇴  manoel receives the news of his fathers death. suprisingly , he’s acknowledged in his will and he’s left with enough money to move out into his own place - small , but it’s enough.

 another two years pass and he’s reunited properly with his sister , who sleeps on his couch for a while ( & still does from time to time ) before she finds out she’s pregnant and moves in with her baby daddy instead 

fast-forward four years  ⇴  manoel is playing drums in a band that has small peaks of success every now & again , the rest of his time is spent bar-tending or getting up to mischief. he occasionally hears from his mom , depending on how well she’s doing. 

PERSONALITY & MUSINGS

he’s both optimistic & pessimistic about life .. tries to make the most out of every situation & is rarely seen without a smirk on his face YET he’s rather pessimistic about his future & relationships 

loves to party .. though he very rarely drinks .. shocking ik ! he doesn’t really need the alcohol to feel confident , so doesn’t see the need for it. sometimes he spends nights out sober, sometimes he’ll have one or two drinks & leave it at that. he DOES occasionally take drugs , but it’s dependent on who he’s with and what the night entails

Cool Uncle to his sister’s daughter .. shows her off as if she were his own .. even though he SWEARS he’d never have kids *side eyes*

thinks he’s so smooth & poetic & charming .. walks around like a fucking casanova .. i hate him 

acts like a 12 year old boy when he has a crush .. will probably call u ugly then try to kiss u 

super candid like .. this idiot can’t stop himself from speaking his mind if he tried

has been fired from jobs WAY too many times

but who cares it’s all about the music dude ✌

he’s actually ??? pretty talented .. he loves singing too 

has a faint accent that shows with certain words 

nose is pierced but he v rarely wears it

bisexual as fuck because we out here fucking loving everyone

he’s actually ??? not as awful as he initially seems ( even though i just said i hate him sh )

he’s rly sarcastic & loves winding people up but he’s generally pretty friendly & just wants to have a good time ig ! 

has a pet cat that he catnapped rescued after he found it in an alleyway after a shift at work 

the most disorganised guy you’ll ever meet .. would probably lose his own head if it wasn’t attached to him

has looots of little tiny stick-and-poke tattoos from Wild nights out 

idk he probably needs to grow up but will he ever ? No 

curly haired just ... because im soft for curly haired guys goodbye
