ok i love 2 things in this world: 1. angst and 2. messy group plots, so without further ado, and because i am #predictable, here i am requesting a you’re the worst based plot.
so basically: my bb hadley handler (what a name, what a gal) is essentially a (somehow) less successful gretchen. she grew up in nebraska, ran away to LA when she was 17 to be an actress and then gave up on that dream pretty quick and settled for being a lowly peon personal assistant (and also co-host of a true crime podcast.) she is a #mess but strongly claims that she isn’t (but like who are u fooling girl u silentcry in ur car biweekly eating cheerios)
i don’t have like a specific play-by-play figured out bc i wanna leave things open for development (though i’m feeling like ytw-wise they’re in s1 area rn??) but basically!! she needs her #crew and i cannot stress how open this all is lol do what u want!!
the gretchen: hadley handler // 27, face tbd, personal asst, played by eris
the jimmy: --- --- // 29+, face, job, open
the lindsay: --- --- // 25+, face, job, open
the edgar: --- --- // 25+, face, job, open
the paul: --- --- // 25+, face, job, open
* (any other chars from the show are welcome if u wanna add!!!!)
okay so basically: i need persia’s hollywood husband.
their relationship started in the same vein as the brangelina/jennifer aniston debacle. he was already married to/engaged to/dating (whatever degree of #messy u prefer) another starlet and together they were basically the hollywood ‘it’ couple everyone thought was the be all end all. and then along came persia. they met when he attended one of her concerts and she (a v big fan of his) invited him backstage. he was a lil older than her and obviously in a highly publicized relationship so no one thought anything of it at first. until they kept hanging out and getting photographed together and trash tabloids were doing their trash tabloid thing and suggesting they were having an affair and everyone thought it was just baseless yellow journalism.
until he filed for divorce and/or ended things with his now-ex. he and persia never confirmed their relationship but their steamy trip to cabo as captured by the paparazzi told a different story. and thus persia was branded a homewrecking #manstealer who ruined everyone’s fav hollywood couple and everyone kind of hated them for a while probably???
but then the whole thing became old news eventually, and persia won a grammy, and he was probably named gq’s sexiest man alive in which everyone was like “tru” and their cute love and support of each other in interviews suddenly had people coming up w/ ship names and captioning their red carpet photos with “this is what true love looks like!!!!!”
they got married three years ago a la a secret celeb wedding and are just......annoyingly cute and devoted to each other. some faces i would love to see: jake gyllenhaal, ryan reynolds, dj cotrona, leo dicaprio. others??? idk pls do the thing.
so this is a request for james’ ex band mates, it’ll be a nice little thing if you need something to bulk up your characters history. warriors is very much so a manufactured girlband, a record label auditioned a bunch of girls in an attempt to create the next big thing and they succeeded. it didn’t hurt that two of the members were sisters james and jasper johnson, two of the stars of reality tv show jonesing for the johnsons (which had been airing for five years at the time).
unfortunately warriors are no longer together, the girls announced a hiatus about a year ago that has since become a permanent one. james being the first one to pull out of the band literally two weeks later when she was like ‘jk, i’m outtie’.
i was thinking they would be a band of four so there’s two open positions in the band. all of the girls were 15-17 when they started and so they’d need to be 21-23 now. their sound is along the lines of little mix and fifth harmony.
“ex disney stars who co-starred for like a billion years and pretended to be “bffs” for the length of their disney contract but absolutely despised each other behind closed doors and had a huge catfight the minute disney freed them and now everyone thinks they h a t e each other but lmao they’re actually hatedating ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”
ok, so, i will try to keep this short ([arrested development narrator voice] this was a lie) but like...Rambling: We All Do It. ANYWAYS this is a request for my beautiful little brat tippi carlyle, one of the youngest of the infamous carlyles and one half of hollywood’s fave ginger twins. and yk, 100% full time brat.
so tippi was a disney star for ages and ages. like, started out when she was a baby and just kept bouncing around the network until they gave her her own show when she was 11. (thank you mommy and daddy’s connections except she is not thankful at all she hated it!!) i’m thinking her show was something hannah montana-y/typical disney formula where it was her, a Wacky best friend and a Sensible boy best friend who was supposed to be her heteronormative love interest. (i will actually figure this shit out later i promise) ((maybe)) girl played the Wacky Best Friend, and they had an actual clause in their contract that said they had to pretend to be BFFs off screen too.
spoiler alert they absolutely hated each other.
why? idk! we can figure that out!! maybe just because tippi’s a brat or maybe they had some weird competitive dynamic that never got resolved!!!
anyways, tippi broke out of her disney contract the minute she turned 18, and so did girl. cue The Truth Coming Out and them having a massive catfight and revealing they’ve always hated each other. no amount of PR damage control could make that feud seem ok. finally free to do whatever they wanted, they went their separate ways and thanked their lucky stars they’d never have to see each other again.
which, obviously, did not work out for them.
six-ish months ago they saw each other again at a party and just kinda like...glared at each other from across the room. no apologies were made. no fences were mended. things were still pretty much just scorched earth and burnt bridges with the two of them. until, yk, being young and rich and able to access any alcohol they wanted, they ended up hooking up that same night.
and the night after that. and the night after that. and you can probably guess how that chain of events continues.
and now they’re? seeing each other?? i guess?? though neither of them is going to admit that, but the dynamic is still very much There. they still hate each other, and the public still thinks they hate each other, but at this point they’re pretty much dating. obviously neither of them are willing to make anything public - they may not be in disney anymore, but it definitely would be a pr nightmare regardless - for their own reasons. (tippi’s being solely pride and a complete and utter denial that she’s definitely not straight, but girl’s are up to you?? maybe she has a squeaky clean image she can’t taint?? idk!)
specifics: age wise, she’d probably be 20/21 like tippi?? 22 at the oldest??? her face and everything is totally up to you but if you need help w anything lmk!!! also i have aim and skype if u wanna talk shit about these too idiots idk gimme the drama
under the cut: a request for delysia’s huge ass family, vaguely inspired by the coppolas.
the stanfords are known for having been in the business for three generations, as well as staying (relatively) scandal-free over the years.
it all started with the grandparents, who were all somehow involved in hollywood. marjorie conrad was a famous actress (kind of a mix between debbie reynolds and julie andrews) and gregory hudson a director, while adler stanford was a composer and hazel was a socialite.
with all of them being friends with each other, it came as no surprise that their children, lorelai and keating, ended up together. they married relatively young and went on to have three daughters on their own. while they were hailed as dream couple at the beginning of their relationship, by the time their youngest daughter delysia was born, they were considering getting a divorce, which they finalized two years later. by then it had also become public knowledge that keating had had an affair and an illegitimate child (name mercier) to show for it. after their divorce, both of them remarried and had more children.
marjorie conrad (78) + gregory hudson (80) had two daughters, lorelai and lydia.
name stanford, 32, f, occupation, open
name stanford, 28, f, occupation, open
delysia stanford, 26, evan rachel wood, actress, played by sadie
lorelai stanford-faulkner + anthony faulkner
name stanford-faulkner, 23, m, occupation, open
name stanford-faulkner, 23, f, occupation, open
lydia conrad (52) + preston lockhart
name conrad, 30, f, occupation, open
elena conrad, 22, kat mcnamara, actress, played by caity
adler stanford (82) + hazel stanford (77) had three children, keating, harrison, and poppy.
keating stanford + odette mercier
name mercier, 26, lily james, occupation, played by hannah
keating stanford + charlize stanford
name stanford, 23, f/m, occupation, open
poppy stanford (played by celine) + first last
bobbie stanford, 21, daisy ridley, actress + voice actress, played by talia
harrison’s children are totally open, so feel free to throw some more cousins at me!
most of them should be involved in hollywood one way or another and ages/genders can ofc be meddled with. faces are pretty open as well, as long as they look like they could be related to evan rachel wood, delysia’s pb. (i would, however, love for her mother’s side of the family to be ginger!)
aok so there seemed to be some interest for this so i’m FOLLOWING THRU W/ IT. give me a group of fakeclassy, dramatic, extra, established ladies of hollywood that ditch their dates to pose on the red carpet together, make cameos in each others’ music videos, throw parties for every holiday together, and are all heavily featured in each others’ instagrams and snapchat stories. their “leaving brunch” paparazzi candids always kind of look like stills from a girl gang movie and u know the group chat is lit. they’ll always be on the front line to defend each other in any celeb feuds or drama so just a lot of GIRLS SUPPORTING GIRLS EVEN WHEN THEY’RE BEING A LIL PROBLEMATIC.
this is obviously heavily inspired by tswift’s infamous squad but this is more an ~equal opportunities~ squad so there’s no real leader here lmao. i think it’d be cool if they were all 25+??? and any profession obvi. i’m gonna cap it at 8 for now but if there’s more interest i’d be happy to add more!!!!

fake divorcing for 2 weeks because the tabloids weren’t paying them enough attention
alicia visiting a psychic every month for the last 11 years who solely tells her that she will continue to be beautiful and successful
constant threats to write the children out of their will if they don’t call enough
a long standing feud with mariah carey that no one knows the origin of
lottie fox is a famous actress, most well known for bringing back the classic hollywood musical. singing, dancing, acting, she does it all. and so does sam. think fred astaire and ginger rogers, tom hanks and meg ryan. the two had undeniable chemistry and worked marvelously together. it’s no wonder they ended up dating and have been happily together for the past five years. they’re america’s sweethearts, at least on the outside. see, the thing is, lottie has started sleeping with her ex-boyfriend and is terrified her whole world will come crumbling down if anyone finds out.
this isn’t a finals plot, and honestly we can see how things go. we can work together to come up with an extensive film repertoire for them and just PLEASE TAKE HIM. face, personality, history, name IT’S ALL UP TO YOU. so, any takers?
