seeing him was like opening a closet to reveal a skeleton, and noelle really couldn’t help staring at liam. it wasn’t the hardest thing in the world–what was hard was having to deal with liam just up and leaving after their wild night brought on by one too many drinks. she recovered nicely, peering down at the virtual tablet. “good luck trying to get anyone else to look at a tablet that isn’t their own.” she quipped, clearing her throat. “um…sure. it’s for a good cause.”
“better than having everyone grab a flyer just to let it fall back to the ground again, right?” he handed the tablet over, taking the time to study her closer. “have we met?” he asked after a moment, his head tilting slightly to the side. “you look familiar, but i can’t for the life of me remember where i know you from.”
liam spun around in his desk chair, giving sloane a smile as the chair slowed to a stop. “i can’t believe i actually get to act with someone besides these fake computers and the script supervisor for once,” he said dryly, leaning back in his chair. “did you memorize the types of pasta noodles? because my inner jackson says he’s taking melanie down.” // @sloaneketterling
I’m not really into partying. Don’t get me wrong - I’ve gone to a club. But I’d much rather be with my close friends at home or a concert, or on a trip. I’ll go dancing with my grandma. She likes to cut a rug!
of course she knew who he was. only, she didn’t know who he was through criminal minds, she knew who he was through the dcom musical. honestly, it was taking all of her will power not to immediately rip him to shreds, the comedic cogs turning in her brain. “yeah, it’s cece. nice to meet you.” she held a hand out for him to shake. “the promos, yeah, that sounds like a plan. but… liam, i just want you to know. i’m not gonna stop, that’s who i am. i’ll give it all i got, that is my plan. and you can… bet on it.” dancing a little to herself, she ended by striking an iconic pose from the musical, trying to hold in her laughter.
he should’ve seen this coming; the girl was young enough to have been in his target demographic when the dcom originally aired. he’d learned to laugh at it, though, and pressed his lips together to hold his laughter back, though a smile still snuck through. “you done?” he asked, arms crossing over his chest and head tilting to the side. “i can let you finish out the choreography if you want.”
“she was just asking for an autograph, jess,” he said, shooting the fan an apologetic look over his shoulder. “i know we’re dating, but you don’t have to be so possessive; it comes with the territory, babe.” // @ortcgvs
“it’s cece, right?” liam said, wandering out onto the tsr stage. he’d hosted once before, a few years back when he’d been promoted to a main character on criminal minds; definitely before this girl’s time. “liam,” he introduced, though he was sure she knew who he was; everyone did. “i’m hosting this week, and we’re supposed to shoot the promos today.” // @cecedayton
“we’re organizing a beach clean-up for this weekend,” he said, holding up the tablet with the virtual flyer on it. it seemed silly to hand out paper fliers when they could very easily end up crumpled up and on the ground; he wasn’t sure why nobody else had thought of it first. he scrolled down and held out the tablet to the person in front of him, the empty boxes waiting for their contact info. “can i count you in?”
hello friends i have a problem but the first step is admitting it
( zac efron / cismale / he/him ) the paparazzi have spotted LIAM YORKE, the TWENTY-SEVEN year old ACTOR who’s currently working as JACKSON GAINES on CRIMINAL MINDS: MIND OVER MATTER. the tabloids have called them AMBITIOUS and CONFIDENT, but also RECKLESS and NARCISSISTIC. during their time in the spotlight, they’ve been dubbed the ‘REFORMED’ BAD BOY.
( trigger warning for drug and alcohol abuse )
so liam is one of my oldest characters and the reason that meleesh came to be but that was a different time and a different liam ( sorta ) so let’s bounce to the present
liam was a theatre geek in high school and he was kind of a living legend in his small town
somehow managed to get a lead role in every production all four years of high school
played bobby strong in urinetown, prince dauntless in once upon a mattress, seymour in little shop of horrors, jack in into the woods, george gibbs in our town, romeo in romeo and juliet, john proctor in the crucible, and lysander in a midsummer night’s dream
( yes i did take time to decide the roles he played throughout his hs career )
did alright in school but he wasn’t like an honor student u know
when he started applying for college his older brother warned him that he’d be a small fish in a big pond and might not be as good as he thought he was ( jealousy ) but lmao the joke was on his brother bc liam was just a big fish in a bigger pond
liam attended nyu ( tisch ) for a year and participated in a bunch of student films and also was in the stage production of legally blonde: the musical ( he played emmett )
his sophomore year he joined the disney college program and because of his dashing good looks and talent he was cast as one of the face actors for prince charming and sleeping beauty’s prince ( also played prince hans in a few parades when the main guy was out )
he was scouted while there and after his semester was over, he was cast in a dcom musical ( basically.......high school musical lmao )
the movie was a hit so he did two consecutive sequels
by twenty-one he’d shed his disney image and started doing a bunch of big blockbuster action films
put on a bunch of muscle for them and shit and literally transformed into a ‘leading man’
kept turning down musical offers that came to him bc he didn’t wanna be typecast
turned into an adrenaline junkie and was always doing death defying stunts like bungee jumping and skydiving
started asking to do his own stunts and they let him as long as the stunt wasn’t too dangerous
he joined the cast of criminal minds: mind over matter during their second season as a recurring cast member, though he hoped someday jackson would get a lil more action bc sitting behind a desk was boring ( tho that’s exactly why his agent pushed him towards the role bc she was worried about his well being )
was still doing movies on the side and got nominated for an oscar once nbd
once the adrenaline started not being enough for him, he turned to a mixture of progressively harder drugs and alcohol
ended up getting married in vegas under the influence to @noellefowler and lowkey they’re still married lmao
one night he overdosed and was brought to the hospital with what should’ve been a lethal amount of drugs and alcohol in his system so he was lucky he survived
went to rehab immediately after and completed the program
part of the deal for returning to criminal minds was that jackson had to stay behind the desk no matter liam’s protests
he kept going to meetings and started dating jess ortega ( who it won’t let me tag ) and they’ve been together for about six months
he and his publicist are really pushing the ‘reformed liam’ image even tho he’s still secretly the same guy behind the scenes ( with a lot more confidentiality wavers )
spends most of his public free time doing charity work
has publicly said he would do a musical again if the right when came around ( film fest anyone ?????? )
so y’all saw the personality traits above and basically he’s v into himself and thinks he’s the shit still
definitely still a womanizer
definitely still a dick
he’s just a phenomenal actor once he gets in front of the camera, whether it be on set or in front of paparazzi
uhhhh some wanted connections ig ????
definitely former hook-ups and exes and people he just screwed over
former party buddies
people who visited him while he was in rehab aka the Good Friends
someone who’s definitely a good influence and shining light in his life
someone from his disney days ???? whether it be a costar in the dcom or another former member of the dcp
