“no, i’ve told you! i’m not leaving here until i’ve finished the melody. i don’t care if that takes me two minutes or two more hours. i’m not going anywhere until i say so,” she haggled down the landline ( and with her very disapproving manager on the other end, no less ). ainsley’s determination to finish her latest song had put her on edge. not the song itself, but engagements elsewhere conflicted with her desire to have any time to work. she always had to be busy. it was no wonder why it had finally started to get to her. “and that’s the last i want to hear of it!” she slammed down the phone, her eyes resting for a moment as she took in a deep breath. she needed to be serene. upon re-opening her eyes, her stomach turned as she realised something she wished she had sooner. she hadn’t been alone. “how long have you been standing there?”

introduction.

❝  they always said that you knew best. this little bird’s 𝚏𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚎𝚗 𝚘𝚞𝚝 of that nest now.

━  did you hear about 𝚕𝚊𝚔𝚎 '𝚊𝚒𝚗𝚜𝚕𝚎𝚢' 𝚋𝚛𝚢𝚗𝚗’s new record ?  it’s totally bitchin’ !  apparently people who have interviewed her say they’re really 𝚒𝚍𝚒𝚘𝚜𝚢𝚗𝚌𝚛𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚌  &  kindly,  but they can be sort of devil-may-care  &  𝚐𝚞𝚒𝚕𝚕𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎 if you catch her at a bad time.  broken daisy chains,  morning 𝚜𝚞𝚗𝚕𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝 seeping in through motel curtains  &  revealing an empty bed,  blind hope for kept promises. 

i’ve a feeling it might have been blessed, so . . .  i’ve just got to put these wings to the test !

hello all !!! i’m fran. francis. whatever you’d like to call me! my timezone is gmt+1. i put way too much time and effort into formatting certain posts and completely neglecting others. like this one for example bhnjkh. i’m not going to go into too much detail about ainsley as i’ve only got a brief synopsis of how i imagine her to be myself ! but i might ramble some. i promise i’m not intimidating whatsoever and i’m 99.9% of the time more of a baby about approaching people than they could ever be about approaching me. but i try my best !! this focuses more on lake than the dynamics i’d like for her but tbh i’m open to just about anything !!

𝚏𝚞𝚕𝚕 𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎.  lake ‘ainsley’ brynn.

𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚐𝚎 𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎.  ainsley; it translates to meadow in gaelic.

𝚍.𝚘.𝚋.  april 21st 1963.

𝚣𝚘𝚍𝚒𝚊𝚌 𝚜𝚒𝚐𝚗.  taurus; the bull.

𝚟𝚘𝚒𝚌𝚎𝚌𝚕𝚊𝚒𝚖.  annie lennox of the eurythmics.

with a name like lake it’s pretty much no surprise that she was born to a pair of hippies in the early 60s. lake and her parents travelled a lot. more often than not it was because of financial issues ( they weren’t exactly criminals, as much as lake would play pretend, but they’d move from place to place and stay with family and friends everywhere ) that went unpaid. despite this, lake wouldn’t say her childhood was all that unhappy. as an only child, her parents adored her. sure, they couldn’t always give her what she wanted at christmas, nor could they ever allow her the luxuries of a normal kid. she was constantly in different schools, making new friends and having to leave them behind again. it repeated itself over and over. lake never managed to keep in contact with them.

but she did love the travelling. she grew up with her parents larger than life imaginations and she soon had one of her own. she lives up to the expectations of what someone would assume a hippie child would be like. she adores exploring, loves nature, has an unusual outlook on things. but she’s very much her own person. 

lake can sing, play bass and fairs well on piano. a lot of her adolescent years were made up of staying behind in school to play, writing songs and getting lost in her own little world. she was good at it. excellent, in fact.

she was 19 when she was scouted by a local agency after performing in a local dive bar. it was perfect timing. her parents had began to struggle with money yet again and were threatened with another move. lake took it upon herself to sign a contract that would ensure that wouldn’t happen any time soon.

everything seemed perfect for a while. although she wasn’t making much, her career was taking off, she was doing what she loved, her parents were a little more secure. it was all going too well. 

until lake developed a relationship with her manager. she trusted him, they’d been friends for a while, he managed every aspect of her life ( something he’d never let her forget ) and they were happy. it wasn’t until lake found out he’d been robbing her of money and was the reason behind her minimal payments did she see his true colours. she couldn’t believe she’d been so blind. the money that was supposed to be going to her parents had left them more in the dark than ever before. 

it’s safe to say that lake didn’t take it too well. she broke things off with her manager, heartbroken but determined to move past it. the relationship between them was kept private and no one but lake and her parents are aware of it ever happening. as far as everyone else was concerned, lake had simply torn up her contract and walked away from the agency altogether. and in her own way, she did.

but she came back stronger than ever after signing with black bird records. they utilised more of her potential than the other agency could ever dream of. she finally had the security she was so sure she had before. and the rest remains history. her career skyrocketed. her life was finally turned around.

but that’s not to say she’s not gullible. as a matter of fact, she’s just as gullible as she ever was before. at least when it comes to her personal relationships. she likes as much control and power over her career as she can. other than that she can be easily manipulated and fooled by anyone with the intention of it. lake tries to stay away from committed relationships, an odd fling or two is something she prefers, but that’s not to say she hasn’t been fooled into hoping for something more only to be let down again.
