~ SIMON'S PLOT ~

[Simon Patrick Gallagher]

Simon Patrick Gallagher

Simon is 16 (almost 17) years old. A junior. He is here because he has bipolar disorder. He is pansexual. He has a history of suicide attempts and due to the rapid and dramatic nature of his mood swings, he's pretty unpredictable. But, in general he is a pretty sweet guy, and can find beauty in just about everyone (when he's not depressed), but when he is depressed he can be a major downer.

FRIENDS

Simon didn't have a lot of friends before he came to St. Helena's because he was constantly sabotaging himself in relationships in order to prevent himself from hurting anyone or getting hurt. As a result, he's used to being lonely and doesn't really expect anyone to like him. If someone is kind to him, however, it means a lot to him and he'll return the favour. He doesn't feel like he deserves friends most of the time, however, and feels like a burden when he is with other people.

In a friend he needs:


Someone who he can feel relaxed with, who he can just do normal things with. Someone who doesn't act like Simon is a walking time bomb. Someone with a good sense of humour.


Someone to comfort him when he is down, and remind him (convince him) that life is worth living even when so much of it is pain.


Someone who will do stupid teen-aged things with him--- who'll be there when he wrecks his first car or survives a hangover with. Someone to cram study with all night before a big test. Someone he can make mistakes with (and learn from those mistakes with).


Some one who will make him feel like he isn't just some brain addled screw up. That will make him feel human again, and put a real smile on his face. Some one he can just have fun with. He needs to feel accepted by someone.

LOVERS

He hasn't had a whole lot of love interests in the past. He's always been afraid to let people get close enough to become intimate in any sense of the word. Maybe that will change now that he's surrounded by people with their own issues he will feel more comfortable opening up. He's never had a real romantic relationship with a male or female.

In a lover he needs:


Someone who he will see on a regular basis. He needs to experience the fun of whispering to someone in class, passing notes like a middle-schooler, watching the stars together, making ridiculous plans that will probably never happen, and secretly holding hands under the table. He needs who can be his friend before anything else. A good sense of humour and patience would be good things to have. Someone who will make him feel giddy and stupid with excitement, but who can carry a serious conversation. Someone who wont judge him or ditch him just because he's feeling down. Someone who will excite him intellectually and, though it sounds shallow, physically. He's not too picky as far as looks go, and he doesn't have a "type", so it's not like he's only attracted to pin-up models or anything.

Mikhail & Simon

I think these two could be friends! Mikhail could honestly probably fit into any of the roles you chose as what Simon needs when it comes to friends, so it's really up to you if you want to give him one of them. However, Mik understands what it is like to have emotions out of your control that can hurt you. He's also accepting, loyal, and loving, but could very easily fulfill the role of normal teenage friend as well. I'd honestly be glad to shuffle him into any role you think he could fit in, and I think they could be close. Mik's friendly, and he's got his own damage, so he'll never treat Simon like a freak. I think they could benefit from having each other to lean on when things go wrong.

Elena & Simon

Okay, so I'm not on her account, but you know I play her. We discussed before the idea of Elena and Simon being friends. I think they could get along really well, as they've got a lot of the same interests. While Elena isn't easily friendly or affectionate the way Mikhail is, I can see her and Simon discussing books, or hanging out together to study, or commiserating over music. If you were okay with the idea, they'd be quieter friends, more interested in intellectual discussion than the emotional kind of connection that Mik favors. As you can see, they'd both be very different types of friends, but both potentially a good match for Simon.

Honestly, whatever you think is good shall exist.
