Send me a symbol to get a glimpse into my character’s past.  (Send 💔 for a heartbreaking memory.)

She was tiny, his daughter. Tiny, pink and new. Daughter. That still hadn’t fully registered in his brain. He had a daughter. It just didn’t seem real. He had never pictured himself as a father, but then again, he had never pictured himself falling in love. John knew he had a lot of faults, never understood why Olivia kept him around, but he was grateful; Though he knew her seemingly never ending patience for him was running thin. 

Of course when Olivia had fearfully told him she was pregnant, John had been scared. Olivia had told him that maybe it was the wake up call he needed to finally grow up. And John tried, he really did try to change. The first few months of Olivia’s pregnancy, John came home on time instead of staying out late with his friends, he stopped flirting, and tried to be a doting, caring boyfriend. He even asked Olivia to marry him. But after their shotgun wedding and their small little honeymoon, John started to grow restless. Like a lion in a too small cage, pacing back and fourth, waiting for his moment of escape. 

The further along Olivia got, the more scared John got. How was he supposed to be a father? Olivia was already so attached and the baby hadn’t even been born yet, and John couldn’t find an ounce of anything for it but indifference. Of course, then baby Jessica entered the world, screaming, a patch of fine blonde downy hair sticking up at odd ends and covered in something John didn’t want to think about. She looked like a wrinkled potato, but she was absolutely gorgeous. The swell of emotion that had filled him had him reaching for Olivia’s oxygen mask to take a few deep breaths. 

And now, three days after her birth, Jessica was swaddled in his arms in a knitted blanket that Olivia had made her, looking absolutely perfect. As John stared down at her, he knew then that he could never be what Jessica needed or deserved-- what Olivia deserved. He knew that if he stayed, it would only hurt them worse in the long run. John wasn’t meant for this life, and though he loved Olivia and Jessica both dearly, it would never be enough. 

With his heart heavy in his chest, John leaned forward and pressed a featherlight kiss to Jessica’s little forehead before he placed her in the bassinet beside their bed. “I’m sorry.” He whispered softly, finger brushing along her cheek. He stared at her a little longer in the dim moonlight of his and Olivia’s bedroom before he swallowed back tears and moved to his sleeping wife’s form in the bed. He was careful as he kissed her cheek and set a folded up piece of paper on the nightstand, before disappearing out of the room. 

Out of their lives.

Happy Valentine’s day to the only women in my life that will put up with me. @minstrecycle

Gail, I don’t think I could ever tolerate anyone else. Here’s a poem.

Roses are red, violets are blue. Thanks for letting me freshen up the downtown with you. 

-John

did you like helping gail freshen up the downtown?

Well, it wasn’t a bad time, that’s for sure! It took a lot of convincing, I’ll tell you that much, but I know my way around the city if you know what I mean.

If you were the Hogwarts champion and had one person tied to the bottom of the lake for the second task, who would it be? And why?

Asking the real questions, are we greyface?

To be perfectly honest, there aren’t a lot of people in my life. Besides, I’m no Harry Potter. I’m going to give this one to my co-host and say that if anyone is being rescued... it’s probably me. Even if Gail has tiny little woman arms, she’d probably be the one to do the rescuing. She’s very smart for a woman.

are you bisexual?

What an odd thing to ask a stranger on the internet. 

But you know, I’ll tell ya. I used to do a lot of wild things back in my day... God I miss those days. Just a young buck in rutting season.

CHARACTER BASICS

FULL NAME: John Frances Smith

AGE: 50

BIRTHDAY: October 24th

HOMETOWN: Middleton, Wisconsin

GENDER: Male

PRONOUNS: He/him

ORIENTATION: Heterosexual

JOB: Retired gameshow host that no one remembers from the 80s; co-host of Let’s Talk-Apella.

BACKSTORY

John was an only child, born into a wealthy family. He technically didn’t really have to work, but he always had dreams of being someone that people recognized.

He’s worked a lot of different unrememberable gigs (including but not limited to: Male enhancement drug commercials, a host of a home shopping network that only aired at 3 am, various commercials for companies that failed later on, and many, many more.).

But before all of that, John was a simple boy who fell for a simple girl. He was older, of course, but mentally she was much more mature. That’s why when she got pregnant, John got scared. He did what was considered the right thing back then and married her, but when baby Jessica came into the world, it proved to be too much and John disappeared from their lives.

He sends money every month without fail to Jessica for whatever she might need, but he couldn’t pick her out of a line up, as he and his ex wife don’t speak and have not spoken since before he pulled a Houdini and disappeared.

John met his second wife at 35, but that marriage only lasted 10 years before she divorced him. Women just don’t seem to be able to put up with him for too long.

WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN UP TO?

John co-hosts an Acapella podcast alongside Gail, stalking random groups around NYC.

When he isn’t trying to find someone as interesting as the Bellas to bother, he’s getting kicked out of movie theaters with Gail for essentially loudly commentating during the entire thing and guessing the ending.

He’s also trying to ‘grow’ and be less of an asshole, but as they say… Rome wasn’t built in a day!

I’m sure my little woman arms can find the power button, John.

If you mean how much you have to learn in the bedroom, then yes, yes you are very much right.

No comment, Gail. If you’ll excuse me, I need to go patch up the ol bruised ego.

Fire up the tripod, baby. It’s d-aca-mentary time! Oh, and I’m in charge of the camera this time.

The cheesesteaks are on me. See how well reciprocation works?

If you’re sure your little woman arms can hold it up, then fine. 

I wasn’t aware reciprocation worked well outside the bedroom. I guess you learn new things everyday, am I right?

The Open

The Open — The International Championship of A Cappella Open — is an all-access a cappella tournament that brings together singers and singing groups of all ages and stages of life — regardless of experience, origin, student status, or school affiliation — to compete on an international stage. Groups of all kinds are invited to apply, and the year’s reigning ICCA and ICHSA Finalists advance directly to the final round. The Open Finals are in NYC’s famed Carnegie Hall, where groups will compete for $25,000 to jump start their professional career!

@unbealevable We need to do this! 

@mysogynistatheart​ are you thinking what I’m thinking, John?

If you’re thinking that it’s time to book tickets and hotels, then yes, I am thinking what you’re thinking. If you’re also thinking about getting a cheesesteak sandwich, then once again, Gail-- we are of one mind.

If by “hooked up”, you mean have had sex, then let me tell you, dear greyface... that that is a secret I’ll never tell. 

(...Yes)

📲 TEXTS ( JAIL. )

GAIL: Gummy worms, yes. The sour kind.

GAIL: And a bottle of water, please make sure it's the most chilled one they have.

GAIL: Aren't we past that now, John?

JOHN: This is a movie theater, I can't make any promises on how "chilled" your water will be.

JOHN: They charge you an arm and a leg just for breathing the stale, foot scented air in this hell hole, Gail.

JOHN: But I suppose I can pay this time around...
