     clarke’s having a nice dream — sweet nice, y’know, warm hugs and hot chocolate after a walk in a snow kinda nice, not that other kinda nice — when he comes to, one hand crushed between his chest and the floor and an unwanted voice in his ears. there’s something of a groan as he rolls to get into a sitting position, fingers rubbing over eyelids before he squints up into the lights.

     “ — what? ” clarke mumbles. there’re still earbuds in his ears though his music has long stopped playing considering the deadness of his phone and the stiffness of his body. he pulls them out still sitting on the ground as a blinks a few more times, bringing the scene into focus around him. “ hey, don’t touch that. ”

Mimi snatched the photo away from him, skipping towards the others. “Babe, some of these are very excellent.” She was fascinated with the way he saw the world-- as told by the photos, anyways. She peaked at him over her shoulder, not turning her body around to face him. “Some of the rest... well, why’re you selling out?”

She knew she might be stepping on some toes, but Mimi was too enamored with the photos to care. She couldn't fathom him throwing away this artistic talent for a paycheck. “I’m Mimi.”

Jude was making her way back to her room when she heard the voice. Pausing she turned around to see what was certainly an artistic sight. She raised her eyebrows with a small smirk and looked at her watch. There was some time to spare tonight. “I actually only model for the abstract. Anything more realist is not in my repertoire.” She offered with a small smirk as she stepped closer to the other.

Mimi grinned at the girl’s willingness. “Well, come in then! Strike a pose, any pose! And feel free to use this on your resumé so you can book similar gigs.” She circled the room, taking in Jude’s appearance. Pausing at the record player, she called: “Do you have a music suggestion? I’m working for you now, see.”

Half eaten apple was forgotten in one hand as Teddy scrolled through Twitter on his phone with the other. The concentration on his face was more intense than any look he’d given his exams during class, only pulling his gaze away when he heard a voice call to him, “Hey,” he called back, walking into the art room towards Mimi while still reading through tweets, “Have you heard all this drama between Elijah Daniel and the Riverdale cast? It’s fucking hilarious, but… like, half of that cast is my age or younger. If this is their peak then what’s in store for their future? Bit concerning,” Finally pocketing his phone, Teddy bit into his apple and finally gave Mimi his full attention, speaking with a mouth half full, “Wait, what’d you ask?”

“Teddy!” Mimi welcomed him inside the tiny room. She chuckled at his observation: “I don’t really keep up with that stuff, to be honest, so I don’t know if you should be concerned or not.” She waved off the thought, the paintbrush in her hand arbitrarily flinging red paint onto the wall. “Oops.” 

She turned, waiting for his full attention. “Oh, I need a model for this project I’m working on,” Mimi paushed, chewing her lip. “But I acutally need to talk to you and I know this is no big deal--  like, seriously, no big deal-- but I thought it was the right thing to let you know.” Mimi stopped, realizing she’d been talking very quickly and her nervousness was apparent.

Star shaped sunglasses pushed up on top of her head the second Lana heard someone calling her, she popped her head inside the frame of the door like an arcade machine weasel emerging only to be bopped by a toy hammer, feral auburn waves framing her face like a forest fire. “You called?” Barely waiting for Mimi to elaborate, she wandered inside, hands reaching out to needlessly investigate the textures of surfaces nearby. At one point, she even ghosted her thumb fondly across the smiling face of a framed photograph, thankful for the fond memories even in the absence of her own. “People always get totally pissed with me when they ask me to model, though. Apparently I have a ‘_fixation’ _with my ‘fingers’ or something. Way dramatic. I just start… touching things,” she explained in abstract, corners of her lips tweaking with the potential double entendre before she settled on the edge of her desk, taking a seat. “You’ll have to properly boss me around. I’m talking dominatrix levels of authority, honestly.”

Mimi watched the female breeze about her bedroom-turned-studio. She smirked, a mischevious smile overtaking her features. “A lady’s always up for a challenge.” Picking up a paintbrush, Mimi began covering the canvas in cool colors, creating a figure that slightly resembled Lana. “That’s good-- hold that thought,” she murmured, suddenly inspired. She crossed the room, taking Lana’s shoulders and fixing them in place, momentarily forgetting that Lana is a human and not a mannequin. “Keep moving your hands,” she ordered, “but everything else, still.”

@icelensed --

Giving no thought to the fact that it may be occupied, Mimi burst into the studio, a flurry of messy hair and whatever song was stuck in her head. Today, it was the Fancy Feast jingle. Go figure.

Mimi paused her mindless wandering when she stumbled upon newly-developed photos. Her fingers found the edge of one in particular -- a stunning study of detail. Pulling it off the line on which it dried, Mimi circled the room, letting out a yelp when she discovered a body.

“Are these yours?” she demanded, leaving no time for the man to collect his wits.

[mimixdunleavy]

Taking a drag of her blunt, Mimi floated around the room – a sight to behold. Blonde tendrils halfheartedly tied back, oversized men’s tshirt tucked into high-waisted jeans, everything coated with arbitrary swipes and globs of long-dried clay. Father John Misty played from a record player in the corner.

Sensing a presence, Mimi glided to the window and disposed of her blunt, leaving the telling odor behind. Waving a grey hand at whoever just passed by her open door, Mimi called out: “Hey–wait! Wanna do me a favor?” She grinned cheekily. “I need a model! But before you get offended, know that this is abstract.”

“Yoo-hoo. Look at this!” a piece of paper is thrown in front of the other. Willa takes a seat at the table, crossing her arms. “Trevor, from French, is inviting me to his birthday gathering.” the smile on her face just grows. “But Trevor, from French, is a major creepoid, so.. I’m gonna need you to go with me. Saturday, at eight-thirty. Pretend to be my lover?” 

[mimixdunleavy]

“Isn’t there an option where you just… don’t go?” Mimi questioned, though she was considering the proposition. She leaned a head on her hand, looking up at her counterpart. “Though… that might be a fun trick. Lesbian lovers traipsing about Trevor’s birthday, ruining it all. I’m intrigued.

( nikki. 21. ctz. she/her. ) it might be HER SENIOR year but I still think MARIAN "MIMI" DUNLEAVY looks exactly like IMOGEN POOTS and sometimes I think the FEMALE is actually her. Of course I’m wrong, as she's 22 and studying STUDIO ART while living in AUDAX here at Lockwood. The LEO can be rather EMPATHETIC and SUPPORTIVE, but also kind of PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE and MOODY. Their most played song on Spotify was WOMAN by MUMFORD + SONS, so I think that says a lot.

tw: drugs tw: alcohol tw: death

marian (mimi) is patrick’s twin sister and the only person who gets away with calling him ‘patty.’ even tho they’re twins, she looks at him as the big brother bc he’s got his shit together and she’s a bit of a mess

the dunleavys are from ireland originally but they mostly grew up in boston. mimi hates boston bc she felt stifled by the ‘tyranny of capitalism’ which basically means she felt like arts were disregarded bc ppl were so stressed about making a living

her dream is basically to live in a tiny studio loft in soho where she can do art with the windows open and a blunt in between her fingers

mimi’s parents got pregnant super young and ended up separated  -- her dad took her and patrick to boston, but their mom stayed behind. their mom is basically awol and has a whole new family now

she doesn’t trust women at all bc of shit w her mom-- mimi kept reaching out and tried to visit her mom in ireland multiple times before it became very obvious that she had a new family and wanted nothing to do with mimi

mimi’s dad didn’t really know how to be a dad - he just knew how to put his head down and work, so he did. 

mimi was sort of a ‘problem child’ bc she is very go-with-the-flow/down for anything, so she ended up getting mixed up in drugs/underage drinking in high school

she and patty are extremely close and he’s the person she calls to bail her out of shit. 

mimi is very in touch with her emotions -- which means she’s both deeply empathetic and horrendously moody. she’s learned over the years to channel her feelings into art, so sometimes she’ll just disappear and reappear with a new piece a few days later instead of making others deal with her mood swings

freshman year, mimi went on a bit of a bender and ran around with a ‘rough’ crowd -- she wanted to do something impulsive, so she started selling drugs

junior year, she sold a guy oxy who ended up dying due to overdose and she feels responsible

mimi quit selling and hasn’t been the same since; she very easily goes into isolation/depressive episodes and is smoking more than ever

she didn’t even tell patrick about this -- making it her ‘big secret’ 

when patrick got kicked out of their old school, mimi saw it as the perfect opportunity to leave and get a fresh start somewhere new

mimi has no idea what she wants to do after graduation, her dream is to be a curator at a museum but she’s afraid that her record won’t allow her to get a ‘real’ job

P L O T S

tbh all the basic ones -- exes, hookups, classmates, drug friends

I honestly really want a pregnancy scare/plot ? idk hmu if you’d be down

friends with benefits !! mimi is sooo moody honestly I can see her using this as an outlet and being super ok with it

friends !! it doesn’t matter how they met, mimi is the biggest wingman/hype man around and will always go to bat for her friends!

maybe the other ppl who live in her building ? i can imagine them complianing bc of the weed or smthn !

i’m down for anything, basically!! like this if you want me to slide in your dms and I will!
