[taylor / twenty / she/her / cst]
fun fact : cash is actually named after johnny cash. his dad was a wannabe rock & roll singer in a band back in the late 80s, so saying he was obsessed with music was a understatement and despite every unpleasant memory he has with his father he got his love for music him.
truthfully his mother and father had never really planned to have cash. it was all suppose to be just one hookup between the wannabe rock star and his groupie but it turned out to be more commitment than one of them was ready for when his mom found out she was preggo
his dad was the #worse growing up. he was a total drunk and when he was drunk the blatant dislike for the thing that ruined his “career” ( a.k.a cash ) was pretty clear. he would pretty much emotionally abuse his son even at a young age when he had no clue why his dad was acting the way he was.
it all really kind of messed him up emotionally. he was told practically his whole life that he was nothing, that he’d never amount to anything, that he’d never leave this town and many more that constantly chipped away at absolutely any self-confidence his mother tried to instill in him.
despite the constant mental and sometimes physical beat down, cash never really showed anyone except the people that he was close to that he was hurting. to people at school he was just another happy go lucky kid who had the world at his hands.
he basically thought if he kept pushing through it and putting on a smile that he’d get to where he didn’t feel like crying every night. wow i’m #sad
anyways when he was kicked out of the house against his mother’s wishes when he was seventeen because his father had caught wind that he might have feelings for a guy ( his best friend at the time/first love ).
it hurt really bad knowing that even though his mother loved him it wasn’t enough for her to stand up for him and say that this wasn’t okay
PERSONALITYYYY
okay so cash on the surface is a really happy and sarcastic dude. he’s so nice and self-less despite him denying that last fact.
he doesn’t really let anyone in that often. he kind of has found that it works better that way. he tends to switch conversations around if you start to dig too deep even if you have only the purest intentions.
growing up & remembering all the repercussions he had gotten from being forthcoming about his emotions to his father made him a very passive aggressive person when something is obviously bothering him. he tends to close himself off when something is on his mind because he’s trying so hard to deal with it on his own. he knows everyone in the world is not like his father, but this was sort of built into him at this point.
cash never really half-assed anything in life despite how lazy he will tell you he is. if he chose to put time into something he gives it his all, which was why it wasn’t a surprise when he picked up learning how to play the piano, guitar & drums so exceptionally well. he started teaching himself as like a coping mechanism and it worked pretty well for the most part. he’s also a pretty decent song writer too.
he currently works at one of those mom and pop record shops. it’s kind of perfect because he’s always surrounded by music and instruments all the time. it’s not exactly where he see’s himself being for the rest of his life but it’s a decent job.
WANTED CONNECTIONS ( but i’m literally down for anything hmu !! )
BEST FRIEND ( OPEN ) - give me someone that cash just loves talking to & feels completely comfortable around. like he can share with them his fears,music & they are just there for each other. like they know him so well to the point where they can totally tell when he’s putting on his fake smile okay he needs someone to look out for him and he’ll 100% do the same in return !
UNREQUITED ENEMY ( OPEN ) - cash doesn’t really like disliking people ?? like holding a grudge just sits bad with him ?? so give me someone that just doesn’t click with cash for reasons to be discussed, but like cash doesn’t really doesn’t know what to do about it. like everytime the person would say something mean to him he’d just be calm & trying to figure out what exactly he did ??
INTEREST ( OPEN ) - someone should REALLY GIVE ME THIS?? okay so for his twenty fifth birthday he was taken to a club by his friends & had a few things to drink which made him kinda tipsy ( he doesn’t drink often bc of his dad but i’d imagine him to be a lightweight tbh bc his intolerance is like nonexistent ) . so basically what happened that night is that a guy came up to flirt with him & cash hadn’t really minded any of it, but as the night went on they kind of got a little handsy. the next morning he was really confused about what he was feeling ?? and maybe they keep meeting up & just talking with cash because they lowkey might feel something for each other ??
FLIRTATIONSHIP ( OPEN )- highkey i think it would be funny to have someone attempt to flirt with cash ?? despite all the dramatics he puts up he is literally the easiest person in the world to get flustered like to the point where he doesn’t really know how to respond ? like the other person doesn’t have to be serious or can be serious about what they are saying but i just want this ???
Here’s some other ideas that i haven’t really thought through yet
- roommate
- co-worker
- bad influence
- someone he’s a good influence to
- partner in crime ( someone he’s constantly causing some sort of
- enemies
- past flings ( they could be over it or not )
- childhood friends that have drifted apart for one reason
