FACTS:
elliot had a happy and well loved childhood, surrounded by his many siblings that he remains close to in adulthood.
he became close with blake their senior year of high school. almost with the snap of a finger, the passion they felt for each other grew into real love, and when blake discovered she was pregnant during their freshman year of college, it was easy for them to throw any caution to the wind and were married as quickly as they could manage it.
in spite of their torrid beginning, elliot and blake remained deeply in love, even as elliot got a job with the school district as the high school band teacher, and blake went on to law school. they couldn’t have been happier having two more kids, especially with the help and support from elliot’s family.
blake unfortunately passed away suddenly from a rapid onset illness a little over two years ago; and elliot is beginning to heal from this, thankfully with the support of his family and friends. keeping busy and being there for his students has truly given him purpose and helped him a lot.
as the high school band teacher he’s definitely one that will stick in a student’s memory; he was in percussion when he was in high school and it very much shows. with a tendency to both push for the best from his students and a blase approach to things like grades and tests, he’s gotten in trouble a few times with the administration for letting a curse word or two slip in front of his students or sometimes showing up late for school himself.
