after so much time apart, ashton found himself feeling even more fearful than he was when he first left. he wanted kit to feel free, even if his freedom meant flirting with other people who weren’t ashton. hell, trying to do what was best for the both of them in one fell swoop had been hard enough, but as ashton stood in front of kit’s trailer door, he was struck with the overwhelming feeling that he still wasn’t good enough and kit deserved better. despite the nagging feelings, he raised one hand to the door and knocked firmly, shoving his free hand in his pocket. // @primakitwillis
ashton didn’t know what to expect from his first day back, other than the occasional whispers--gossip was certainly very much alive still. he had told himself he could handle it, but he was still terrified of all the misconceptions. staring down at his notes, ashton began to write again, grumbling in frustration when his pen ran out of ink. his long legs carried him out of his little cubicle and to the nearest open doorway, where he stuck his head in. “hey, uh, this is kind of embarrassing, but do you have a pen i could borrow? “
( henrik holm / cismale / he/him ) the paparazzi have spotted ASHTON MENDELSON, the 22 year old CREW MEMBER who’s currently working as SCRIPT SUPERVISOR on LIFE: BY LEAH. the tabloids have called them CHARISMATIC and ENDEARING, but also MYSTERIOUS and MOODY. during their time in the spotlight, they’ve been dubbed the HAS BEEN.
aka the curious case of the lost intro bc i now have to reinvent him hhhh he’s lucky i love him
y’all know him as the OG andrew on l:bl right? well a lotta shit’s happened in the past nine months
he’s kind of a little shit.
avoids conversation and emotional convos like the plague
was really always a loner when he was younger but the one place he felt like he could fit in was acting on stage or in front of a camera.....it brought him joy
he’s an only child so this gave him even more of an excuse to be by himself
more of something to catch u up to speed now bc tbh i don’t remember much about his past and i’m as bad at improvising as i am remembering ekljsdhlfk
nine months ago, he basically paid the bigwigs to be out of his contract as andrew and checked himself into rehab bc he was getting emotionally overwhelmed and stressed out and there was def a lot of disconnect and he needed some time just to figure out who he was again
now he’s back and he’s trying to be a better version of himself tbh???? but he’s lowkey afraid of the spotlight and the pressure so he paid zenith yet again but also came up with this power point on why he’d be better as a script supervisor
bc at this point he knows the cast, he knows their capabilities, so why not work around them? it’s generally just a better fit and he’s nervous but much more at ease bc now he can do whatever he wants within reason and not worry about what people will say
is really passionate about life:by leah and considers everyone there his second family
hes just :( trying to be positive ok pls love him
also the media knows he went to rehab but they don’t know what for so they’re already assuming and plS gimme that plotline of someone calming him down and talking him out of leaving again i’m emo
