GUIDELINES
my name is aj and i'm 30+. as such, please do not interact if you are under 20 years old. if you are younger, and i accidentally follow you, please block me.
do not follow for the sole purpose of shipping. stu is a disaster person and probably should not be in a relationship anyway, so it's rare that shipping will work out. (although i do think he had feelings for both tatum and billy, i also would want to talk things out for those interactions as well.)
stu isn't a good person. even aside from, y'know, murdering people… he's also a sheltered, spoiled, privileged white boy in 1996. he'll say and do some things that aren't cool. i will use content warnings etc, but also please understand that i do not agree with him.
if you have a concern or issue about something i've posted, please contact me personally. if you have the desire to write a vague post, i would prefer that you block me. vague posts cause a great deal of anxiety for me. if you ever suspect i'm vague posting about you, also feel free to contact me, but i promise that i don't vague post; i will speak directly about any issues i have or keep my mouth shut entirely.
i use the tag negativity cw on any post i make that is negative about anything including rpc or life in general. please block the tag if negativity brings you down!
i have a full time job and a neurodivergent brain, so my activity will come and go. please be patient with me, and please do not message me unless we're mutuals.
INFO
FULL NAME. stuart macher ALSO KNOWN AS. stu, ghostface D.O.B. + AGE. 01 / 24 / 1979 | 18 ZODIAC. aquarius GENDER. cis male PRONOUNS. he/him ORIENTATION. biromantic / bisexual OCCUPATION. student
BASICS Born in Woodsboro, California, the youngest son to rich parents, Stu grew up sheltered and privileged. Although his parents were aware that Stu had some mental health concerns, they covered up anything he did wrong, thinking he'd grow out of it. He met Billy Loomis in middle school and the two of them began a close, but extremely complicated, friendship. Eventually, the two of them began a murder spree as the Ghostface Killer. Together, they killed several people, and planned to eventually frame Neil Prescott for the murders, and themselves as the only survivors. They failed.
OPEN VERSES
+SURVIVOR;
A slightly different plan; Billy stabbed Stu before they revealed their identities to Sidney. Stu thought Billy intended to let him survive, but he stabbed too many times and too deeply, because Billy himself intended to be the sole survivor. When Stu realized what was happening, he stayed still, pretending to already be dead (or at least unconscious). After Sidney killed Billy, Stu was found still alive and taken to the hospital.
+RELEASED;
Stu survived the electrocution with some scarring on his face, but was tried for his crimes and sent to prison. However, after a few years, his parents' high-priced lawyers were able to poke holes in the evidence against him and claim that Billy was the one who committed all the murders. Stu, they claimed, was also a victim, manipulated into helping Billy cover up his crimes. The ploy worked, and Stu was released with time served.
+PRISON;
Stu survived the electrocution with some scarring on his face, but was tried for his crimes and sent to prison, where he has remained.
+VICTIMS;
Billy and Stu both got away with the murders, their plan to frame Neil Prescott a total success.
+FINAL GUY;
Stu survives the murder spree at the party, and is credited with killing Billy. He goes along with it to avoid being caught as his accomplice. (The details and who else survives depends on who I'm writing with.)
+UNTIL DAWN;
After killing Maureen in the early 2010's, Stu and Billy have an intense falling out. Stu's mental health becomes so bad as a result, his parents decide to send him away to live with extended family in another part of California. Stu loses contact with his friends in Woodsboro, but eventually goes to college and finds a new group of friends with Josh Washington and co.
CLOSED VERSES
+SECOND CHANCE (innocencel0st);
Stu is released from prison after 27 years and reconnects with Tatum, much to the dismay of all her friends. Unfortunately, another cycle of Ghostface killings begins soon after... Also features Sidney, Dewey, Randy, and Stu's sister Tabby written by me (killcdhim and aranostra) and Cici written by innocencel0st.
+CHANGE OF PLANS (innocencel0st);
When Billy attacked Tatum in the garage, Tatum killed him in self-defense, leaving Stu to hide the evidence that he was involved with the murders. Also features Randy written by me (aranostra).
