sergio is probably the least angst-filled of my muses since heās just a really friendly guy but sometimes has troubles dealing with things other than with humor or treating them lightly until it finally explodes !!!
his childhood was really normal. thanks to scientists, they didnāt really have financial problems and as expected, sergio grew up to be really healthy, both physically and mentally. he was raised to be always optimistic and kind to people, so he didnāt really have any problems making friends. ever since first grade, he always surrounded himself with a large group of friends and liked taking care of people. he was also an only child so he really loved being around people and making relationships where he kind of stood as the big brother he always felt like he was meant to be.Ā
his maternal grandparents also lived with them until they passed, and sergio was always the one who took care of them and reminded to take their medicine. with his personality and need to take care of people, he always put others before himself. he didnāt have much time for himself --- always late with assignments since heād be helping others with theirs, or even just being that one person everyone could rely on but kept his own problems to himself because he knew what the people in his life were going through and didnāt want to burden them.Ā
his previous relationships all failed because sergioās attention was always divided to so many people in his lives that his ex-girlfriends never really felt that he was serious in the relationship even when he actually was. he always fails to see that his relationship problems arise from being there for everyone else to a fault and just thinks that no matter how much he loves love, a romantic relationship might not be meant for him at the time. heās the kind of person who thinks a grand gesture would solve things but fails to be consistent because he always has so much on his plate with everyone else in his life.Ā
thatās pretty much it for him ! heās just tries to be a good person ok but he just doesnāt know when to start caring about himself more and his needsĀ
iām not good at writing intros so this is a mess but here we gooo
laura keating have always felt like her life was never hers. her mother was a former pageant queen while her dad was a novelist, but both were never successful at their respective crafts. they put their own hopes and dreams of fame on their little girl and practically sold him to the hollywood machine.Ā
she started out a child star in some shitty kids show on a kansas tv network. it wasnāt she really liked to do but whenever she wanted to home and just play with her toys, her mother would often tell her that she ruined her body by having her and now laura owed her for that. she was taught that she must always give everyone what they want, always smile and hit her lines, because thatās the only way they can anyone would like her.Ā
her mother also homeschooled her which made her feel isolated from kids her age except from the ones in the show but she never got along with them off-camera. they all had dreams of big stars while laura always wanted to be someone who could help people, like a social worker.Ā
Ā when the geneticists finally left brookwell, the keatings moved to hollywood and laura became a part of a hit sitcom that lasted over a decade. the set was where she grew up, had her first period, first kiss --- it was all she ever knew for a very long time. her parents, the showās producers, and everyone in her environment made it seem like it must feel special to be part of something so successful but she just felt empty inside. her mother always made her feel insecure whenever she wouldnāt hit her lines during takes, always pointed out whenever she gained a pound or two, and she felt like under scrutiny all theĀ time both at home and outside.Ā
she was already in her early 20s when the sitcom finally ended and laura never felt more lost in her life.she was an adult and that notion alone that she was one was enough to give her courage to finally break away from them. she fired them as her managers and began to navigate through hollywood by herself.Ā she tried to find more serious acting gigs but never got the past auditions --- she didnāt even know why she was doing it. laura had more than enough money to support her for the rest of her life but all through her life, being in front of the camera was all she ever knew and it was ingrained in her mind that its all she could ever do.Ā
it took her a couple years to actually find a more dramatic role. laura deeply connected with the role, saw herself in the character who was lonely and depressed. the movie received rave reviews and became a favorite in the film festival circuits. but ultimately, it was snubbed during oscar season which laura saw as a failure. she gave the role her everything and it just wasnāt enough. just like that, her motherās words throughout her childhood haunted her again. it was the last straw and laura turned down every role offered after.Ā
laura developed a narcissistic exterior so that no one could catch on to how self-loathing and insecure she really is. she became a habitual drinker and faded into the background in hollywood. and just spent her days in drinking, hooking up, occasionally doing drugs, wash, rinse, repeat. that lasted for years and years.Ā
when her father died, laura didnāt even bother to attend the funeral. in fact, she scheduled her small screen return on some shitty game show just to tell her mom sheād be busy taping something that day. but when her mother died, that was when laura finally returned to brookwell. and since then she never really found a reason to go back to hollywood, she was free. all her life, she had been living her parentsā dreams but they were gone.Ā
laura knows that she needs to rebuild her life the way she wants to. but itās not that easy to let go of everything she has ever known her whole life. but before she can even begin to start anew, the new law is passed and she is just a puppet once again.Ā
