LONDON SPY, EPISODE 1 (2015)

[quentinjameson]

( BEN WHISHAW + DEMIGUY ) —  Have you seen QUENTIN ‘Q’ JAMESON ? This THIRTY FIVE year old is a PIANIST/MUSIC TEACHER who resides in MANHATTAN. HE has been living in NYC for TEN YEARS, and is known to be ENDEARING and TALENTED, but can also be NAIVE and GULLIBLE, if you cross them.  People tend to associate them with FLOPPY HAIR and FOGGED GLASSES —

hello! i’m k and this is q! i’m still figuring him out so this intro will be pretty bare bones but like this if you’d like to plot.

so he’s always been a bit...out there. it was especially noticeable growing up in a small beach town where everyone wanted to tan, surf and play volleyball while quentin just wanted to play piano, sing show tunes and kiss boys.

the baby of his family and literally all of his siblings were athletes. his dad is a pro surfer, his mother a movie producer and they all seemed to adapt to the beach life pretty well. tan, blonde and just the sort of beautiful you saw portrayed on all of the tv shows about california living.

then there was quentin. tall, lanky, absolutely unable to carry any muscle in his body, dark hair, asthma pumps, stocky knees. growing up was a challenge because for awhile it was just ‘oh no, quentin! you have to be good at A sport, we just need to figure out which one.’ spoiler alert...he’s terrible at all sports. and he’s tried them all. basketball, volleyball, surfing, golf, tennis, baseball, football, croquet.

found his love for piano through his grandmother. where he spent most of his weekends because if he had to spend another weekend on the beach just getting burnt, he was going to lose it. he fucking hates the beach. made him a disgrace to his family. 

so while he didn’t exceed in the sports area, he was very talented with a piano and very fucking witty and intelligent. like he was that sort of kid who’d talk back to his teachers all of the time because he knew he was smarter than them. ajkdhahdad he’s annoying sometimes 

fell in love in high school and if you ask him about it, he’d tell you that he’s still never fallen OUT of love since then. he came out freshman year of high school, he was going to get bullied anyways so that didn’t really stop him from living his truth. plus as you can see he’s so fucking extra. character inspo: the eleventh doctor from doctor who and eliot waugh from the magicians.

but yeah fell in love unexpectedly with a boy who was way out of his league (in his eyes) they dated for most of high school, graduated and got engaged shortly after. 

acts more confident than he actually is.

his mouth is always getting him into trouble.

he’s a soft boy, who will fight you with his words but who really couldn’t hurt a fly.

loves show tunes, tea and cats 

PERSONALITY: a witty little shit who makes you roll your eyes but who can also manage to make you smile even if you don’t want to. he’s eccentric, he’s weird but he accepts it. a massive fucking flirt. very insecure and depressed. he drinks a little too much and smokes a little too much. sometimes he’s very quiet, other times he’s really fucking loud and you never know which one you’re going to get. 

connection ideas:

sibling like friends 

exes

fwb

one night stands

best friends

music students

Tabby laughed and then looked down at her blouse which had mermaid cats on it. She didn’t have much of leg to stand on, clearly. “Well I like your style! I don’t think your sweaters are ugly. I think more men should experiment with fabric and patterns the way you do!” She said, hoping to boost him up. “As for coal… no idea? Maybe a hardware store? In the aisle with the barbecues and charcoal?”

he was being silly and he knew it, cracking a grin her way as he took in the sight of the mermaid cats, “i mean...and i absolutely love your blouse. now i don’t have to choose between a cat or a mermaid, so i sincerely thank you for that combo.” q teased, popping a cigarette between his lips but not yet setting it ablaze. she didn’t seem like the sort of company who would really be alright with his smoking. it was a nasty habit. one he knew he had to break but one he knew he never would. “a hardware store?” he repeated with furrowed brows and the tilt of his head, “i’ve never been in one of those before. didn’t know it actually existed outside of the movies. come on then! to the hardware store we go.”

he gasped at the question, a hand flying to her shoulder, “i’ve ALWAYS wanted to get my nails done! but i’ve been too much of a coward to go in and actually get them done so this is the perfect excuse. one, we make a beautiful couple, two, i don’t have to go my first time alone and three, we obviously need to get matching colors.” quentin smiled widely and showed her his hand, “see i’ve just been doing it on my own but i’m fucking terrible at it. i think this may be the start to a beautiful friendship.”

“Hey, are you busy?” Edie questioned, her eyebrows raised hopefully. “I’m trying to get my nails done, but my favorite place relocated, and the new place I’m going to is way expensive. But they have a pretty nice couples’ discount, so at least I’d be able to justify it that way. And it’s easier than having to find the time to drive all the way out to Queens.” She shook her head, with a tiny huff at the very notion. “Anyway, what do you say? Free mani-pedi? Maybe some lunch after?” @codstarters​

he was in the back of the line but thankfully he was rather tall, which meant that he was able to witness the entire interaction in its whole. his hands were full of wrapping paper, his bowtie was crooked but he huffed as he went to the front of the line. “hello, yes.” quentin said to the cashier, peering over owen’s shoulder to look at the order on the phone, reciting it out loud, before putting his own order in, shaking his head, “terrible customer service. i will be writing a heavily worded yelp review about this.” regardless he gave the cash to the barista, shaking his head, “i swear, this time of year, they just mass hire people without giving them the proper training or evaluations. that’s fucking capitalism for you.”

Most of the time communication wasn’t an issue for Owen. Between being able to slightly read lips and type things out on his phone, he was able to break that barrier when he was out and about. However there were still some instances where people were too rushed, where they simply didn’t care or understand. While they were far and few, they happened, and luck was not on side with it today as he stood at the register in the coffee shop. Owen already had his order jotted down on his phone, all he had to do was show it to the cashier to take his order. He wasn’t exactly sure where it had all went wrong but not only was the cashier ignoring he phone that Owen was holding out to him but he was pretty sure the other was now yelling by this point. If their red face was anything to go by. He could feel the eyes of the other customers on him and for a brief second Owen wondered if a cup of coffee was really worth all of this. So in a desperate last chance to try and get the chaser to understand, Owen gestured towards his ear, shaking his head, waving his phone around some. Trying his best to get his message across clear so he could just get a damn cup of coffee.

“my sister just told me that my ugly ‘christmas’ sweaters don’t mean anything because i wear ugly year round sweaters all the time.” despite the fact that he was a grown man, thirty-five years old, there was nothing quite like the taunting of a younger sibling to bring him back to his childish ways. “she’s obviously getting coal this year. do you know where i can buy coal?”
