a little bit more about xskippingheartbeats (ashley).
about you
i just realized how awkward this is. anyways, i’m ashley, a 28 yr old living in the terrifying state of texas (cst timezone). i don’t really use blacklist 90% of the time, but when i do, i blacklist #family death for bl and of course, #spiders because i absolutely can not stand to look at them. (bugs in general freak me out, but that’s a different story.) i work in retail as an assistant manager, which means 50 hours a week (minimum) my soul has been taken by the overlords of credit cards and stay at home moms who need a discount, but when i’m not there, i’m almost always here. watching. lurking. around.
about your characters
for a full list of my current characters, you can check HERE, but that list will probably fluctuate on a regular basis. the first original character i really brought to life full time (i.e., not just as an attempt to escape the grpc) was DEVAN PARK, my anna kendrick fc who’s hella lazy and shares my love of baseball (though she hates the yankees. my poor heart.) these days, i primarily use CHARLOTTE JACKSON (nina dobrev), BRINLEY ROBERTS (victoria justice), CHELSEA DAVIS (katie stevens), and ELOISE DURANT (troian bellisario) but the other six are just as important and completely ready to make themselves known.
as for where they are, they’re scattered around the map. brinley runs social media for a hockey team, where as chelsea’s teaching her protégés how to take over the world of entertainment. charlotte’s planning weddings, olivia is going through a divorce, eloise is running her own psychic shop and trying to write the great american novel. parker teaches ballet to kids at night while working as a receptionist during the day, and dylan is slugging her way through grad school to become an engineer. madison is an in the closet lesbian who works at a magazine writing editorials, and sarah crashes at her pseudo-cousins apartment and strips at night. ellie (NEVER elizabeth, thank you very much) is a photographer, and devan? well, who knows what devan’s doing these days. she’s constantly fired and constantly finding a new job, but you can usually find her in queen’s cheering on the mets (at least, until the off season when she’s begrudgingly watching classics on espn).
my writing sample is HERE.
anything else?
uhm. i’m originally from new england, so i’ve been to new york a billion times and i miss it super a lot. i’m a yankees fan (watch ‘em sweep the world series this year baby) and enjoy watching sports live better than on tv. i binge shows on netflix but they tend to be the ones i’ve seen a hundred billion times before. i watch, like, three live shows (riverdale, dynasty and the bold type) (oh and bob’s burgers but that’s a different story) and it takes me about a billion years to watch something new. i tend to fall for shows/media with small ambitious hbic characters who are unwavering loyal and have a giant heart no one notices. writing is an outlet for me since i was like, a child and i’m v excited to find some people to write together with me !!!
if you ever need anything at all, hmu through tumblr im or ask, and even when i’m not actively online, i’m usually lurking as often as possible on mobile, so i’ll see it relatively quickly!
