pinterest board
writer by choice, romantic by chance: i have this in his pinterest board and i feel like it rly sums him up! heβs such a romantic to the point that it is a flaw. he romanticizes everything which has gotten him into trouble before. i.e....mistaking things that are certainly not love, for love.Β
you may say heβs a dreamer: big goals! big ambitions! big lazy boy! he has dreams to move to a big city like new york or paris, to live in a chic and cozy apartment, to write 3/4 of the year and vacation in some beautiful getaway in the south of italy every summer. somewhat unattainable especially considering heβs currently drowning in student loans but a boy can dream?
i kno that u got daddy issues: grew up in a small, picturesque town in maine. you know the boy romanticized it yes sir he did !! but that doesnβt mean he had a perfect childhood. he was an only child of a loveless romance. his mother and father had him at 16 and 17, respectively, and tried to make it work despite the lack of actual emotional connection between them. his dad and he never really bonded, especially since matty was more interested in reading picture books and playing dress up than he was tossing a baseball outside. heβd always been closer with his mother. still, it didnβt hurt any less when he came home from school one day at eight years old, his fatherβs things gone. it didnβt hurt any less to watch his mom cry over him for days.
money, money, money, must be funny: after spending four years of undergradΒ studying literature and creative writing at brown university in rhode island, the kid is swimming in debt. he got involved in some shady businesses for money, doing things he didnβt really want to be doing, and still feels ashamed of today, so he doesnβt really talk about his past much! but, the reason he moved to yellow springs was because he fell in l*ve back in rhode island. it ended up going south, quick, so he packed up his things, took what little savings he had, and found yellow springs. this was when he was twenty-three so heβs been living in the bloom apartments for about 2 years now?Β
sloth and the seven deadly sins: matty is a total homebody, but that isnβt to say he doesnβt like going out at all. he does! heβs just kind of a wallflower when he goes out. much more of an observer. he does prefer to stay in tho, with a huge fluffy blanket and a big cup of tea. please...have sleepovers with him. heβs a huge cuddler.
another delusional pisces: yes...he has his head in the clouds okay! sometimes they are so far up in the clouds that itβs hard to tell if heβs living in the same reality as everyone else. something he perceives as true is often totally false. itβs often why he thinks heβs in love after 1 date and everyone else is like thatβs called INFATUATION , MATTHEW .Β
wash your dishes and take out the garbage!: not a slob but quite messy. his room has clothes strewn all over the place and he can never keep his papers organized. he often forgets tea cups in his room until the entire collection of mugs ends up on his bed side table and heβs like whoops ! and brings them out to the kitchenΒ
cat: has a cat named cat. basically when he still lived in rhode island for school he came back to his place one day and he realized a cat had followed him home. and he was like shoo cat ! and she didnβt listen . he was like . i canβt take you in here cat . no pets allowed . anyway he ended up having a full on conversation with this cat in the hallway and then the cat followed him inside his dorm ANYWAY and he hid herΒ and took care of her for the rest of the semester and just called her cat and now thatβs her name and he took her with him to yellow springs and they are best friendsΒ
wanted connections: dang u know i want them all but !! letβs think.Β
ambiguously gay duo - give me a brotp where everyone is likeΒ βare they....you know....β but itβs just PURE , UNADULTERATED FRIENDSHIPΒ (m/nb) river
ok this is piggy backing off the above because they very well could be the same connection but the schmidt to his nick. matty is lazy and unmotivated but extremely creative and needs someone who is motivated and passionate and they make a good dynamic duo !Β inspo: ( x , x , x ) (f/m/nb) zane
cuddle buddy - this can be completely platonic but if any muses love to hang around the house as much as he does !! please give him someone to be lazy with (f/m/nb) sumi
unrequited love - itβs a bad religion !!! give me someone matty is head over heels for but they just........do not feel the same way.Β (f/m/nb)
muse - matty is a writer, so i would love to have certain eccentric characters be people he models his own characters after ? i think that would be so cute and this could work for a few connectsΒ :( (f/m/nb) selene
extrovert to his introvert - someone who drags him out to social gatherings, makes him do things outside of his apartment, yknow. forces him to get out and get active ! he probably would not go to parties if it were not for this person (f/m/nb) gemma
exes - mattyβs been here for 2 years so this all depends on timelines. but ! give me exes on bad terms ! exes on good terms ! anything ! (f/m/nb) domenicaΒ
ex fwbs / one night stands - on the same note, matty is the type of guy who falls in love in 0.02 seconds but can fall out of love just as fast. this would be one of those circumstances (f/m/nb)
college friends - matty went to brown university in rhode island so if we got any pretentious ivy leaguers in the house say ayeΒ
Reality doesnβt impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.
