WARNING!! this blog handles sensitive material that some could find triggering. the main subjects that will be in my writing here are alcoholism, addictions, child abuse & neglect. i tag everything accordingly but since these are very present in gabe’s story if you don’t want to be exposed to these topics i would recommend not following for your own comfort.

    RULE ONE     mutuals only, selective, private, all that good stuff. i softblock when i unfollow and ask that you do the same please!    RULE TWO     strictly 21+ due to my own personal comfort and because there are a multitude of mature subjects present on this blog.    RULE THREE     i do format my replies, but i am more than happy to make it simpler or not do it at all if you need me to accommodate!

    RULE FOUR     this blog, like all my others, runs on a permanent low-activity basis and i only write when inspiration strikes.    RULE FIVE     i prefer to focus on pre-established relationships and deeply plotted dynamics. threads with friends and mains are priotitized.    RULE SIX     i do practice mains on this blog and i'm happy to add you to that list if we have plotted a dynamic between our blorbos!

    PERSONALITY     gabe is horribly pessimistic and struggles to see the good in most situations. despite his privileges and luck to have such a lucrative career in what is supposedly his passion, he is unable to move past his traumatic upbringing and the abuse he endured. it eats at him so deeply that he drowns it in drugs and alcohol. however, he's also terrified of vulnerability so he hides all of this beneath a sardonic and smarmy exterior.
    VICES     all of them?
   VIRTUES     incredibly loyal.
   LIKES     drinking, playing guitar, privacy, uh... drinking.
   DISLIKES     loud people, being told what to do, invasions of privacy, himself, the sun being too bright when he's hungover, families with positive paternal figures, clingy people, kids... should i keep going?

*   BIOGRAPHY,

born and raised in small-town mississippi, gabe always knew he was meant to be someone else. the humble southern life wasn't for him, and when his mother passed, leaving a grief-stricken pair of brothers alone with their violently alcoholic and abusive father, gabe decided it was time to leave that life behind. he packed up and hitch-hiked to new york, where he'd spend a year couch surfing, busking, and working as many cheap gigs as he could before his now-manager, kat campbell, finally discovered him. with her help, gabe became a sensation in a few short years, leaving mississippi - all its countless horrors and the boy he once might've been - behind.
