☾ — ·˚ » WESTLEY DUVAL is in saint tropez!! they often get mistaken as ( REECE KING ). apparently, ( HE ) is the ( CONFIDANT ) of the group. they’re a ( TWENTY TWO ) year old ( BISEXUAL CISMALE ). i hear where they’re known as ( SANGUINE ) and ( SECRETIVE ). they also make their living as a ( BARTENDER/INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS STUDENT ) but you’d have to ask them a bit more. // ira, they/she, 20, gmt+3
YO HEY so i’m Ira and this is Wes and he’s my actual son please love us, ya won’t regret it
here’s the down low on Wes, i’m gonna use bullet points because #efficiency and also it’s the Hot Thing To Do
also that gif up there is for aesthetic purposes lbr this is the real one i wanted to use
SO
Wes grew up in Amherst, Massachusetts and moved to Boston when he was about 9 and after a while he developed a very very faint Bostonian accent which he low-key hates and was probably made fun of for once he went to Uni.. it gets a little thicker when he’s upset or emotional and he hates it n the way it sounds ( he feels like it sounds v uncool )
He grew up as the eldest child of five with a single mother and as he grew older felt a lot of pressure to be ‘the man of the house’
He got his first actual job at 13 to help support his family financially and began bartending at 17 along with a few other jobs, lil boy had a fake ID and lied about his age
and now he mostly just bartends and does odd jobs here and there
and now at university he’s on a partial scholarship and the rest is paid by all the money he saved up that didn’t go to helping his family and he kinda pretends that is family is better off than it is in front of the 2 friend groups, makes it out like he bartends because he likes the atmosphere and not because he, you know, has to
tbh bartending was the perfect job for him, he totally fit the stereotype of movie bartenders.. u know the ones.. constantly polishing that one empty glass while providing support and Wise Life Advice to the bar patrons... and the glass is somehow never done being cleaned..
He’s always been really level-headed and responsible and patient and good at problem solving, he gets along with almost everyone he meets and is loyal as hell and reliable and There To Help People Get Through Stuff
He’s always there with a dumb joke or a listening ear or a shoulder to lean on for his friends
the only problem is that he never had anyone there for him, you know? he’s always been so used to giving other people advice and being That Friend that he never had anyone be that person for him SO he always pushes down his own problems and feelings and never talks about any of it with anyone else, and just does his best to always be that optimistic friend who makes things better for other people.. cause like even though he’s never really had anyone to talk to, he feels like he’d just bring people down and ruin their moods if he did
Whenever he gets upset or emotional or angry he kinda just.. shuts it off?? like, feelings? emotional vulnerability? nope, never heard of her. he h a t e s being confronted about his emotions/feelings/personal experiences, and will/has literally run the fuck away any time anyone would/has ever tried to turn the tables on him and get him to talk about what’s going on with him.
at the same time he’s low-key always wanted to be in love and Experience that sort of thing but he feels like he’s only good for friendship. he’s the guy everyone is friends with, the one who cheers people up and makes people feel better and takes care of people, but not the kind of person anyone would actually want to form a romantic relationship with. ( if we’re being honest he’s also low-key low-key ‘scared’ at the concept of loving and being loved.. he hates feeling vulnerable and open to other people bc he’s.. never done that before. he’s probably a closet romantic at heart )
^ so that in mind he usually just hooks up with people and then.. that’s it. he has a lot of one night stands to try and #fillthevoid
jshdajksd dude he does this thing at his job where if someone there is really feeling down and he doesn’t know The Right Thing to say to make things better he’ll make a really bizarre cocktail or drink in front of them and name it after them
he always smells like mint and faintly of smoke ( though the fact that he smokes is kinda his #secret, he doesn’t usually smoke in front of other people bc he thinks its a nasty habit )
he really likes dark chocolate, horror/thriller movies, and making gross fountain drink mixes at restaurants
i don’t know what else to write, i have so many headcanons for him but they’ll all probably come out in time over the course of the rp
WANTED PLOTS MAYBE:
THE ENEMY - ( from the other group ) Wes is everyone’s best friend. Wes gets along with everyone, and everyone gets along with Wes–– but for some reason, this person has always been the exception. For unknown ( or later plotted ) reasons, Wes and this Person repel each other like magnets.
THE MISTAKE – DUDE so i hc that in the past he’s always kept his friends as just friends and never wanted to hook up with one of his friends because it would have been awkward but maybe one night when he was kinda drunk and lonely he hooked up with someone from one of the groups and maybe they had a Moment or whatever and now it’s kinda awkward but he wants to pretend like it never happened
THE ‘BEST’ FRIEND – ( his group ) this person would be like.. probably his ‘gateway’ into the friend group(s), and they used to be super super close and best friends and they did so much #stuff together but there’s some tension because it’s like he’s everyone’s ‘best friend’ and so they’re not as super close as they used to be and idk we can plot out specifics !!
