✨ richard madden, cismale, he/him — agnes street wouldn’t be the same today if it wasn’t for deja vu night club. do you know that micah buchanan works there as a business partner ? they are thirty six and they look like the kind of person who makes sure you’re included in group conversations, whenever i see them, talking by elderbrook starts to play inside my head. maybe it is the vibe they give off, tired yet kind eyes disguised by aviators, the purr of an engine accelerating, tracing constellations onto skin. ; you know ?
@agnesextra
his bio is way too long, so here are a few quick bullet points. I’m working on getting together some wanted connections, but he is wide open to brainstorming and pretty flexible!
bio link.
Puts the gentle in southern gentleman -- born and raised in kentucky, his family owns a noted bourbon distillery. Micah was raised very much as a legacy, but he has a strong flair for stubbornness, softness, and sincerity.
Fast cars and street racing became quick passions after he got his permits, though there has always been a fondness for connecting on long moonlit, midnight rides where the sky seems expansive and conversation is deep and meaningful.
Micah went to college at Brown University in Rhode Island, majoring in business with the intent to step into the family’s bourbon business. He probably stayed in or ventured around Rhode Island for part of the summers between, so I would love a connection or two where they’ve crossed paths prior.
The family business was put on pause after he graduated with an Ivy League education, as Micah was coming up the ranks quickly in the racing circuit.
Micah rose quickly through the circuit and gained a reputation as more eyes looked upon his success. His career continued to grow over the years as he chased the adrenaline and accomplishments that came with each lap around the track, and each victory he managed to claim.
He was involved in a nasty crash that he only narrowly survived, though it resulted in the death of another racer. Micah was in a relationship with him at the time, though they were not public.
Micah is still questioning his sexuality, but is in very deep (and private) mourning. He’s still working through facing that all.
He spiraled for a bit, and has ultimately ended up in Islebury. Micah is trying to find his footing, and has become a business partner at Deja Vu Night Club. He is definitely the type to jump in wherever he might be needed - behind the bar, smoothing ruffled feathers, schmoozing. He is enjoying the much needed distraction, and getting to know the town’s residents.
etc.
thinks he has a poker face, absolutely does not once you get to really know him.
internalizes way too much - please get this man out of his own head.
currently a little aimless, but making the most of things.
✨ dev patel, cis man, he/him— agnes street wouldn’t be the same today if it wasn’t for high score. do you know that rohan kapoor works there as an owner ? they are thirty one and they look like the kind of person who apologises to inanimate objects, whenever i see them, take your time by the pale white starts to play inside my head. maybe it is the vibe they give off, tangled up earphones, the appearance of mysterious bruises, and the colour yellow ; you know ?
truthfully, rohan was boy of little talent. prone to accidents, he was bed-bound more than he was a child of the trees. yet, simultaneously, luck often had him in its clutches. golden opportunities simply fell onto his lap ; he puts it down to karma, a belief he carries into adulthood. he worships people and their quirks, and he just wants to kiss them all silly - but his loveliness is absorbed by naivete.
loan sharks, hiding in shadows, awaited their moment of vulnerability. rohan spills it to them, not in trickles, but in floods. he still carries the burdens of those years. he exudes paranoia, looking over his shoulder in the glow of the neon games that he tends to. working with his hands keeps his mind busy - although his misguided luck previously allowed for scholarly excellence, rohan was never one to be buried in books. instead, he indulges his childish passions, whilst bearing the load of a troubled past.
✨ rosamund pike, cis woman, she/her — whenever i see freya langdon meandering down agnes street therefore i am by billie eilish starts to play inside my head. maybe it is the vibe they give off. buying clothes without checking the price tag, reeking of expensive perfume, quitting cigarettes only to take up vaping ; you know ? pure tranquility is what keeps them interested in agnes. i heard they are a forty year old law professor. they look like the kind of person who smiles in your face while stabbing you in the back.
name ╱ freya carys langdon
age ╱ 40
birthplace ╱ england
zodiac ╱ scorpio
orientation ╱ bisexual
status ╱ married, in an open relationship
freya comes from old money. she’s the eldest of the langdon family, and she describes herself as the family favourite, or at the very least, her father’s favourite. growing up, she was the apple of his eye and still is. she can do no wrong according to the patriarch, much to her siblings’ dismay.
she has been living in the united states since she was in her late twenties. she married an american, and has lived all over the country. only in the most lavish accommodation, of course.
she’s recently moved to islebury in an effort to keep an eye on her younger brother. she lives here with her husband, and can’t help but throw their happiness in everyone else’s face every chance she gets.
in recent months, freya and her husband decided they wanted to try an open arrangement in their marriage. they are free to sleep with other people, although, the line is drawn when it comes to developing feelings. their side ‘flings’ are purely physical, and one of their rules is that they can’t keep seeing the same person for too long.
ana de armas, cis female, she/her — whenever i see alba rivas meandering down agnes street la escalera by pablo alborán starts to play inside my head. maybe it is the vibe they give off. bullet journals, colorful dresses, hairstyles with bandanas ; you know ? artistic impressions is what keeps them interested in agnes. i heard they are a thirty-three year old teacher at bright future. they look like the kind of person who would make you do a vision board.
hi again, it’s ella again. okay so i had cameron (the lily james) but tbh she’s a new muse and right now i don’t have the brain to develop a muse from scratch but i still want to write and that’s why i decided to bring alba, one of my oldest muses. i’m so happy to give her a new home and i can’t wait for her to meet all of your characters.
basics
NAME: alba carolina rivas borges
NICKNAME: al, albie
GENDER: cis female
PLACE OF BIRTH: boca raton, florida
DATE OF BIRTH: april 19, 1988
AGE: thirty-thirty
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: bisexual
OCCUPATION: teacher at bright future
background
tw: illness, cheating
CHILDHOOD
her story starts between cuba and spain. her mother, carolina, fled from cuba and her father immigrated from spain with no friends or family and only with a few dollars. the two newcomers were matched by fate and just a year later they welcomed their daughter, alba.
two years later, a son completed the rivas family. they didn’t have much and often had to deal with homesickness and many times they considered moving to spain, but eventually they decided to stay.
it was a big change for both julián and carolina. he used to work as a lawyer back in spain and carolina had almost graduated from med school. now in the united states they both had to start from zero.
her mother traveled an hour from boca raton to palm spring every day where she worked cleaning those luxurious houses. her father got his credentials to become a spanish teacher and taught in the local high school.
alba always knew she didn’t have much. she grew up going with her mom to those huge houses and from a young age she understood what wealth could buy. however, alba never envied those who had a lot more than her. in fact, her childhood best friend was the girl that lived in the house her mother cleaned. the two were inseparable.
ADOLESCENCE AND COLLEGE YEARS
alba excelled as a student. education was something her parents always deemed as important and so she made it her goal to make them proud.
she earned a spot in a prestigious public high school. as a teenager, she was the model child. always listening to her parents, rarely giving them problems. she had an active social life, she went on a couple of dates and she was part of several groups.
these qualities eventually earned her a place at nyu. moving to new york was something she’d never considered. she liked florida, and her family were there but her parents convinced her that this would be a great opportunity and that she could comeback.
becoming a teacher was her ambition. she admired her father for doing it and she knew from a young age that she wanted to teach children.
to make ends meet, she got a job as a waitress and she really didn’t have a social life as she worked and studied full time. there was no time for friendship and even less time for dating.
it was during one day at work that she met someone that changed her life. she met another student while she was working who asked her out but she refused, however, he came back and did the same thing every night until one day she finally accepted.
one date turned into two and then three until soon people couldn’t see one without the other. most people thought they wouldn’t last, their personalities and values were too different. he came from a wealthy family, the typical spoiled kid that was set to inherit his parents’ fortune someday, the one that always featured on page six with a different woman every night. meanwhile, alba came from a working-class family, daughter of immigrants who always had to work to get what she had in life. despite the skepticism, they proved everyone wrong.
at twenty-two, alba graduated with a degree in early childhood education and began working as a teacher.
ADULTHOOD
her relationship with this guy (i dont have a name for him lmao) was better than ever and after dating for three years, he proposed and alba said yes as she was convinced she’d found her other half.
however, not everything was perfect. his family didn’t like her and things only got worse after they got engaged. the couple married only a year later. they left new york and moved to florida where they bought one of those houses alba always had dreamed to have and the best part is that they were neighbors with her childhood best friend.
but all good things must come to an end, and soon her fairytale turned into a nightmare. the relationship with her in-laws was awful which eventually caused tension in their marriage. they began to fight more often and he started to spend more time at his office than at home. however, she was determined to make their marriage work, a love like theirs couldn’t end like this, she wouldn’t allow it.
tw cheating: one day, alba returned to their home early and what she saw was heartbreaking. there he was, in bed with none other but her childhood best friend. heartbroken, alba refused to accept any of his excuses and immediately filed for divorce, to the joy of her in-laws. end of tw.
after her divorce, alba moved to california where she started a year course at stanford. she planned to stay there but that when she received news from home.
tw illness: her father was very sick, and her parents had decided to move to islebury, rhode island. without anything holding her back, she packed up her stuff and moved here as well so she could help her mother with her dad. end of tw.
she’s been living here for three years now and works as a teacher at bright future.
personality
She has the ability to see the good in almost anyone or anything and tends to sympathize with even the most unfriendly person. She often hides the extreme depth of feelings from her, even from herself, until circumstances elicit a passionate response.
She has a deep sense of idealism that comes from a strong personal sense of right and wrong. She sees the world as a place full of possibilities and potentials and is governed by her intuition. She is quite reserved and is not easily manipulated.
She is a good listener and considerate, they try to care for and understand others in a deep way. She can be very calm and intuitive with the people around her, being able to search for hidden meanings in the actions and words of others.
Of course, all of life is not rosy and Alba is not exempt from suffering the same disappointments and frustrations that are common to others. She tends to be a perfectionist and often strives for personal ideals that can be exhausting or very difficult to obtain.
headcanons
she’s a bookworm. her favorite book is the persuasion by jane austen
she speaks fluent spanish
alba has a beautiful white persian cat named nube
she loves wearing bandanas in her hair
claims she’s allergic to strawberries, she’s not. she just hates them and that’s easier than explaining why
connections
Younger brother: I’m gonna make a wanted connection because I love this dynamic. He is two years younger than her and she adores him. She tries to stay in touch with him and in general, they are close.
Ex-best friend: they met as children and grew up together, they knew everything about the other. alba’s mother worked as a housekeeper and she used to go with her sometimes, that’s how they met. this person came from a different background, she lived in one of those expensive houses alba could only dream to own. their friendship was so strong that they even applied to the same university (although her friend was not accepted). alba considered this person as the sister she never had, but then she did the worst thing in the world, she slept with alba’s husband. they haven’t spoken since she found out.
Ex-husband: They divorced two years ago, after alba found out he had been cheating on her with her best friend. they met while she was a student at NYU and were together for three years before getting engaged and married. he comes from a wealthy family, the typical perfect american family. their relationship was never approved by his parents. she hasn’t spoken to him since the divorce.
Best Friendish: Okay, so this is a tricky one because her actual best friend turned into Judas and slept with her husband, but maybe this person is the closest she has to a best friend. she trusts this person and since her divorce, this is the only person that she has been able to speak without limitations.
Bad influence: Alba has never been one to go to many parties or even to drink, but this person is the only one that can convince her to have a good time.
Co-workers/Parents: She works as a teacher at bright future, maybe your character works there or their kids go/went there.
Neighbor: self-explanatory
Unlikely friendship: The two have different personalities, but somehow, both have managed to get along and form a weird friendship.
Hook ups: She’s not really the relationship kind bc she’s always busy but once in a while she hooks up with people ghdghdhgd (open to everyone)
Flirtationship: they act like friends, but cannot help to throw flirty looks or comments at each other.
Unrequited: It could go either way, I’m fine to plot it out. I’m an angst hoe sooo
Bad tinder date: after her divorce, her friends tried to set her up with someone but it didn’t go well. There was nothing wrong about her date, but she wasn’t ready and in the end it was a very uncomfortable situation for them.
One night stand: she was drunk, he/she was drunk too. They didn’t plan it but happened and now whenever they see each other in town it’s a bit awkward.
✨ melissa mccarthy, cisfemale, she/her — whenever i see bridgette ‘birdie’ sutton meandering down agnes street head over heels by tears for fears starts to play inside my head. maybe it is the vibe they give off. clashing patterned prints, limited edition crocs, hair piled high and pinned with pencils; you know ? agnes market is what keeps them interested in agnes. i heard they are a fifty year old agony aunt columnist. they look like the kind of person who sips wine in front of a roaring fire and patiently awaits the pouring of secrets.
bridgette has always been the go-to. the bridesmaid, never the bride. the lover, never the loved. forever shy of reaching milestones others her age had long surpassed. “oh woe is me!” she could cry, in a dramatic way, with her hands outstretched to the heavens whilst soaked to the bone. but why do that, when she can earn a living from recounting her personal tragedies?
pen to paper, birdie documents her stories. headline: this man sat next to me on the bus today and played his harmonica to the tune of baby got back! generating a thousand clicks and hundreds of comments, it is clear that birdie knows people, and she knows them well.
her name becomes a staple in the agony aunt column of the local newspaper. a shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold, she gives too much of herself away - she is sewn together by the burdens of others.
and i oooop, here is my newest baby like LITCHERALLY newest of all my muses and i'm so excited to play sun for the first time ever here. there comes a drama queen everyone, swipe down, click below the cut. once upon a time... ( @agnesextra )
★ APP !
✨ esra bilgiç, cis woman, she/her — agnes street wouldn’t be the same today if it wasn’t eveybody’s bookstore. do you know that suna ‘sun’ sunstörm works there as a bookseller ? they are thirty one and they look like the kind of person who was a prom queen once, whenever i see them, primadonna by marina and the diamonds starts to play inside my head. maybe it is the vibe they give off, warm brown eyes framed with black kohl strikingly, a social media profile with a pristine layout, afraid of showing that you are capable of crying, you are well-aware of how salty your tears taste but no one has to know ; you know ? ( c, 23, gmt + 3, they/them )
★ STORY !
tw: pregnancy, kidnapping, toxic relationship, crime ( only mentioned ), guns ( only mentioned )
the beginning of this story is hard to figure out. it perhaps begins somewhere in turkey. and then this baby with huge brown eyes opens her eyes to the world. a brand new world where she was born to be abandoned. but fate is still kind enough to her so that this story continues in sweden, where she is raised with her adoptive parents.
her name is suna but most of the time she gets to be called sun. she grows up in a family where she feels loved. and not only loved, where she feels able to conquer the world too. with a fortune locked in her parents' safe, it's not so surprising that she grows up feeling like she can seize the world. all the opportunities she has to tailor herself, her future, the way she wants to be ; perfectionism easily becomes a personality trait. it's almost like she wants to make something out of the second chance life gave her. that second chance being getting adopted by sunströms. feeling like she owes her family, being the best version of herself is sun's idea of showing gratitude and paying back.
she seeks the best of the best in everything. no such thing in her life is done spontaneously, every step is a part of her grand plan. taste of the success is only common now. she becomes a model at age of nineteen. it only gets better from there. photo shoots, becoming a familiar face from magazine covers, an impressive young lady as she is more than her beauty with her background of education. put a bedazzling disposition, her story to inspire you as an orphan who made it right, and a noticeable swedish accent on top of it ; and sun sunström achieves her peak prima donna condition.
but one can maintain a life without surprises for so long. disorder comes in the form of blind love for sun. and this is the turning point. this is how sun's life gets stuck in reverse. the two of them stumble upon each other in several events. every single one, he looks at her as if she is the only woman in the room. and maybe that's the one last thing she needs in her life. love's young dream. suddenly, he sees his face everywhere she goes. he is following her like a hound dog. always around her, with his big white smile and idyllic promises of a 'til death do us apart'. alas, red flags are there too.
( tw toxic relationship, crime, guns ) sun was too blind in love to see it. she took his possessiveness as a sign of dedication. and she loved the idea of this guy being so addicted, so head over heels for her. maybe that would justify how he always wanted her by his side, making her cancel some meetings and expecting her to put him above her job. and when she was finally revealed that this guy who did all he could do to make sun his lover was not an innocent man, she wanted to believe he could change. he was a criminal. an arms dealer. back then, sun thought she wanted him in his life even after learning about that because she was so in love. but now she can see it, it was nothing about love. it was just fear disguised as love. it was a hard pill to swallow for sun. to see that she is vulnerable and prone to make such big mistakes. it took her a mighty fall in life to realise that.
the truth is, she was only a milestone in that man's life. a trophy he just wanted to keep on his shelf until he wasn't having fun showing it off anymore. ( tw pregnancy ) maybe he could keep playing the game of 'you are the only one in my life' if it wasn't the baby. yes, sun got pregnant from him. when she found out about it, she felt everything at once. crushed under all the sentiment. 'the perfect family', she thought to herself. it was a possibility, right ? a family like her own. and maybe the baby could change him for the better, she heard something similar from the socialite ladies she used to hang out with. the baby being the father's muse. his reason to become a better person. the illusion of him loving her enough to become a better person persisted until the day of her baby's birth. she disappeared from the lives of everybody else she knows and loves, even her brother who she cares about more than anyone was only getting a couple text messages and nothing more. her friends, her colleagues. it was almost like she went missing. the birth of her baby was going to be a secret ; that's what he wanted, and all she wanted was the baby in her arms. -- her first and last memory with the baby boy is having him in her arms.
( tw kidnapping ) she remembers waking up from a dream that day, the night right after giving birth. instinctively, the first thing she wants to do is seeing her son. but the realisation hits when she searches for every single room of the house with tears in her eyes. he is gone with the baby. the acceptance of truth in her life begins with losing her son. truth is she was not the only woman in her life. truth is he planned everything to take the baby away from her and leave her behind the night he learned about her pregnancy. truth is she was not perfect and it was not love. it never was love.
her career is buried beneath the mistakes of her now. that's why coming back to islesbury and preparing herself for a simulation of a life in which she will be disowned by her family is what she is doing now. working at everybody’s bookstore as a bookseller, far from the glory of her old days. staying with her brother, trying to distance herself from him, and making plans of moving out. it's unusual for her that now she can't rely on the old wealth of her family. that she can't do what she loves the most anymore.
★ CONNECTIONS !
i saw you once in a magazine cover kind of connection ? which is gonna make her all go "ooooop" since well... she misses those days but she gotta keep her cool.
someone who is annoyed by her ''''saturnine''' vibes.
maybe someone that worked with her before during her model days ?????
a best friend she legit ghosted during her pregnancy and now they are mad about it ( as they should be ). GIVE ME FRIENDSHIP ANGST.
i know we do not have any therapist muses but pls i'd love her therapist :(((
someone who questions where she has been a lot despite knowing not much about her, this is gonna be a bit bad vibes.
someone that hit on her until they found out she is just clearly emotionally unavailable then they become really good friends.
