โ .... i stood alone upon the platform in vain, the puerto ricans, they were playing the salsa in the rain with open doors & manual locks in fast food parking lots. i headed west, i was a man on the move, new york had lied to me, i needed the truth. oh, i needed somebody i could trust. atlanta sรธrensen & charlie hughes dependent original characters for jrsyhq as penned by delta
โ CHOOSE loveย over all. Over sadness, over anger, over frustration, over jealously, over being R I G H T. And to choose LOVE is not to push these things away, but to to feel these things fully, to investigate them fully and to LEARN what they are here to teach. โ
alisha boe. cisfemale. she/her. โ did you see ATLANTA SรRENSEN? i havenโt seen the TWENTY-ONE year old in a while! you know, theyโre a ASSISTANT TEACHER, and have been living in jersey city for EIGHT MONTHS. some say theyโre HISTRIONIC & CREDULOUS, but i think theyโre AFFABLE & BUOYANT. regardless, iโm glad ATLANTA is here.ย

born in boulder, colorado, atlanta was raised by two hippies who believed more in nature than science. atlanta was homeschooled besides other children raised by similar parents, their group resembling more of a cult than a friend group. she spent her childhood in the woods identifying plants and rocks, reading little women by the creek, and forging a completely untainted view of the world with only a little bit of guidance from her parents.ย
because of her unusual upbringing, it was a shock to their entire community when atlanta chose to get a certificate in elementary education, and join a system she spent her entire life outside of. however, her parents were always supportive of their oldest daughter, and financially supported her through community college as she earned an associateโs degree while simultaneously working at her motherโs floral shop. despite her general softness and wide-eyed demeanor, atlanta is an extremely hard worker who will go above and beyond to achieve what she wants.ย
moving to jersey city was an impulsive decisionโthe only one sheโs every madeโand ended in the girl experiencing quite a bit of culture shock. after growing up in such a sheltered environment, to be alone on her own across the country turned out to be harder than she expected. although she found a job she loves, sheโs still struggling to find her place. sheโs a little tooย attached to her family, calling them almost daily to ask for advice and even though sheโs twenty-one years old, she still feels like a child.
financially, sheโs struggling. without assistance from her parents, the girl has no idea what sheโs doing. checkbooks? never heard of her. on the one hand, sheโs extremely responsible and organized, color coding her bills and bank statements and charting everything down in her handy-dandy planner; but on the other, sheโs lost and no matter how many sticky tabs she uses itโs all still confusing.ย
atlanta spends her days baking, crafting, and reading romance novels. you can often find her sitting on her couch, covered in layers of blankets, knitting or quilting while watching trashy reality television or listening to a john mayer album. sheโs an extroverted homebody whoโd rather be in her own territory than venture outside where sheโd need to switch her fuzzy pink slippers for high heels.ย
personality wise, atlanta is a hopeless romantic who loves people. she looks at life like itโs waiting for her to conquer, and is surprisingly brave for someone so naive. however, sheโs extremely sensitive and is unafraid to show that side of her, crying at the slightest inconvenience. on the outside she may seem like sheโs weak, but sheโs much more resilientย and clever than youโd think. her love for pride and prejudice doesnโt drown out the endless amount of good advice she can dish out, even though she doesnโt ever take it for herself.ย

my son !! charlie had a pretty shitty childhood. his mother paid no attention to him being too busy selling mary kay cosmetics out of their living room, and his father was too busy having an affair with his coworker to notice that charlie was slipping through the cracks. despite his yearning as a child for his parents to come together and finally act like the nuclear family they looked like on paper, his parents ended up divorcing when he was eight years old. it was a messy breakup with neither parent wanting to take custody of the child, his father experiencing what it was like to be an out gay man for the first time, and his mother trying to reclaim the youth that she lost as a wife. eventually, the courts saddled the child on his mother, and to this day he can tell that she resents him.ย
early on, charlie learned that the only person in the world he could rely on is himself which is why in high school he became a bit of a problem child. heโd listen to records too loud at first, or leave cigarette butts on the front step for his mother to find, praying that someone would notice him. since they never did, his antics escalated. what started as a few concerts a year with buddies, turned into him practically living in the backroom of the local diy venue, watching the bands with rapt attention. it was then, when he was seventeen, broke, and living in a storage space with other angsty teens, that he decided he wanted to work with music. having no musical talent of his own, he became obsessedย with the culture as a whole, interviewing bands on the sly for his own records. it wasnโt until he was nineteen and in college that he realized he could do something with this curiosity.ย
for his junior and senior year at college, charlie was the radio station manager. he booked bands, trained students, and went to so many concerts he stopped keeping track. but that wasnโt his passionโhis passion was hosting. anything he got to hear himself on air, or sit behind a mic, he knew he was in the right place. a small show of his began gaining some traction after he posted it online in a podcast format, which landed him a job as an intern at a real non-profit station, which soon became a full-time position.ย
he still goes to shows and gets drunk more nights than he should, but the full-time job has given him a sense of security that heโs never had before. for once, heโs content with the trajectory of his life and not lying awake in horror of the future.ย
personality wise, charlie is a sarcastic asshole. he protects himself by being impossible to love, and he never attempts to filter himself. heโs moody and stressed, only really calm after a beer or a cigarette which feed into his addictive personality. however, heโs also extremely intelligent and creative, often spouting random facts about useless things without having to bat an eye. despite all of his shortcomings, heโs an extremely empathetic person who is very in tune with what others are feeling. however, that doesnโt mean he acts in tune with them. often, he uses that knowledge to purposefully drive people to the edge, seeing himself as an unworthy person.ย
it breaks my heart, but he thinks that heโs too much of a screw up for friends or relationships. ngl, he needs to learn to trust asap.
