i’m a lover fresh out of luck

[transcript]

#casper flirting: is your mom gay? you're a very irresponsible person btw #also not that it's important but i'm a stickler for details -- it's still daylight out because coco was only gone for about 3 hours #it's why casper is only on the 3rd episode of the show #and it's why tom came to pick casper up because the night is only just starting #camellia #frozen pines #casper birkshaw #coco arias #xena arias

→ oc questions tag ←

tagged by @subtlefires thank you!! i haven't seen this tag before, so this was really fun 💖

i decided to do casper to make up for all the times i've chosen coco

→ 5 words to physically describe your OC (do you have a drawing? even better!) (since we already know what he looks like, i chose general descriptions and stole your moodboard idea hehe)

energetic, reliable, persistent, lacks confidence, sweet

→ Who inspired your OC?

at first, nobody. casper was meant to be the... not comic relief exactly, but a break from the heavy ghost/death/trauma stuff in the main story. but as he got older, i started putting so much more of myself into his character. without going into detail, i've learned things about my own family that makes me relate to casper's situation more than i thought i would when i came up with it. i never planned to go more in-depth about his biological father & half sisters because i thought, well, he has 2 loving parents and siblings he grew up with, why would he lose sleep over these people he's never met and is only connected to by blood? it was one of those things where i thought i knew how i would feel in that situation, but i never really knew until i knew. i wish i could say this is the only part of my life i've imparted on casper, but it's not 😅 casper is also the first character we've seen in college since beth, and my college experience was SO much closer to casper's than beth's. so like. it's me, i inspired casper fjksdjs

→ Give me a song to define your OC

soda by nothing but thieves // lyrics:

i once had a thought, but don't know where it went 'cause i've been living off soda and cheap cigarettes maybe when i was a kid i was dropped on my head yeah, that would make some sense

i don't want to be myself it's making me so unwell

→ If I met your OC on the street how would they greet me?

he doesn't make it a habit to greet strangers aside from a polite nod, but if he already knows someone he would loudly call out to them even if they're far away and it's embarrassing for everyone involved – that is, if he remembers them. he's really bad with names!

→ Can your OC be your best friend? Why?

oh yeah for sure. not so much now, but i was friends with so many jock types in high school. i think it's because once those guys find out i'm a lesbian they just treat me like a bro 😌 but they would tell me things they didn't think they could talk about with anyone else. i love being the friend everyone comes to with their problems because i'm telling people what they already knew but didn't want to admit, and making them feel like they came up with a solution all on their own. that's exactly what casper wishes he had in a friendship right now. also i want him to be my personal trainer!

→ 1 adjective and 1 noun to describe your OC

neurotic // i know this word is outdated, but i still use it for myself and i can't think of a better word to describe the way that he manages to be anxious about anything and everything. so much of his personality / habits / lifestyle were formed in response to anxiety (like, he was afraid of staying the same so he changed everything about himself all at once. he did so many sports and he exercises all the time because it keeps him busy. etc.) and the important thing is that most of his fears are totally irrational and not the more common worries people have, even other people with anxiety. it's not like "are my friends secretly mad at me?" it's "i'm going to walk to class today because i'm afraid i'll run someone over with my car" and things of that nature; things he knows are irrational, but that doesn't make them feel less real. but we'll get more into that later

toaster // LMAO... it's a ubiquitous household object you take for granted will always be there. you don't really know how it works on the inside, you just count on the fact that it will. you don't even take notice of it unless something is really wrong with it. but it's a tried and true part of a daily routine and you'd be really bummed if you lost it! tell your toaster you love them today sdjksjd

→ tagging: feels weird tagging anyone after i got so personal here lmao so if you see this and want to do it, consider yourself tagged!

#bold move picking one of the most beloved and attractive stars of the 00s as casper's face claim but i figured i'd throw him a bone #casper birkshaw

[softpine]

do you still feel part of something loud? are you such a different person now?

[The computer screen shows a Facebook page for Paige Summers. She went to Valley State University. She lives in Del Sol Valley, CA. She works at Walgreen’s Pharmacy. She was born January 13, 1986.]

Paige Summers: Happy birthday to my littlest trouble-making, alphabet-burping, free-roaming sisters! 24 years ago, I was complaining to mom that I didn’t WANT another sister… So God gave me two. I’m still waiting for that brother! It can happen! 🤣

Liked by Juniper Summers and 8 others.

Comment from Tatum Summers: love you sissy

#aside from the obvious stuff... there's one thing mentioned here that will be so unfunny in retrospect... #btw you don't need to know any of casper's coworkers #or his half sisters for that matter #camellia #frozen pines #casper birkshaw #tom connelly

[softpine]

i guess i must be having fun the less we say about it, the better make it up as we go along

bonus conversations from mikaela’s phone

TRANSCRIPT:

1 -

[Group chat with My boys 💕]

Asa: My phone was dead.

Yesterday 7:52 AM

Mikaela: Casper was on a date last night, we should all bother him.

Asa: Bother.

Bother.

Are you bothered?

Dan: Jessica Cattrell, 22, on Dean’s list, “DJ Messy Jessie” @ KHCS 91.7 👍🏻

Casper: Keep your pants on weirdos im not even seeing her again She’s nice but it was awekward as hell

Mikaela: That’s a shame 🙁 But there’s plenty of fish in the sea! Don’t give up searching for my future son or daughter in law! 😉💖

2 -

Mikaela: Sadie’s first day was a success! 🎉🎈💃

Not a single tear in sight!

The good news: She made a “bestest friend” already 🥺

[Picture]

The bad news: When I ask what his name is, he tells me it’s Lightning McQueen.... 🚗🤔

Casper: Respect

#mikaela loves her emojis lmaoo #she chose to use old pictures for casper & asa's contact photos because they'll always be babies in her mind 🥺 #and jessica is the name we saw in casper's phone in his first college post #not important i just like tying everything up neatly #although the dates don't really make sense but it's fine don't worry about it #camellia #frozen pines #bloopers #sadie mayfield #mikaela mayfield #casper birkshaw #asa mayfield #daniel mayfield

[softpine]

Shayna: Guys? I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to cause any drama.

Tom: No, you didn’t. We have this conversation all the time. [Tom elbows Casper.] He’s a chicken.

Shayna: I know the feeling. It may not seem like it, but I was really shy once. I grew up in a small town too. I always knew I wanted live somewhere bigger, but I was so scared people wouldn’t like me very much — But people do! If I’d stayed in my little cocoon, I never would’ve known how much fun I could have. That’s my two cents.

Tom: See? It’s time to be a beautiful butterfly, Cas. Not an ugly caterpillar.

Casper: I... Maybe. Yeah, maybe.

Shayna [high-fiving Tom]: That’s a maybe!

TRANSCRIPT

#shayna back by popular demand <3 #casper is legitimately concerned that he peaked in high school lmao #btw sorry the last few posts have been a little boring. there's a lot of stuff i have to set up so i can finally do this timeskip!! #camellia #frozen pines #casper birkshaw #tom connelly #shayna kline

[softpine]

Guide: Lalalalala! I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that!

Casper: Huh? I was just kidding.

Guide: I guess I should also mention our room inspection policy. RA’s are only allowed in your dorm under very strict, specific requirements – you can read about it in the handbook. Otherwise, the only scheduled room inspections happen while you’re home during winter break and again during spring break.

Tom: So you’re saying if we bring the toaster home for break, we’ll be good?

Guide [innocently]: I don’t know... Am I saying that?

[Casper and Tom smile.]

[TRANSCRIPT]

#casper was a little annoyed that danny had to leave but he was mostly glad he didn't have to walk around campus with his dad #it feels so much more embarrassing than it actually is #also? first mention of the newest character in frozen pines: the toaster :P #not to incriminate myself but in the dorms my roommate and i hid so much stuff with this method #camellia #frozen pines #casper birkshaw #tom connelly #daniel mayfield #the guide's name is #shayna kline #in case she shows up again #i might use her for misc stuff bc she's so cute ;-;
