SKETCHING was part of rosa’s every day life. it had been for years, following music of course. it helps her get out of her head for a while and wow does she juice the fuck out of her hobby. lately, life had been stressful what with gigs here and there, writing for her next album and trying her best not to focus on the past -- there was a lot of drawings spewing out of her when she had any type of music block. wouldn’t be at all shocking if she had to push her release date back...again. but it was a nice enough day out for her to leave her home and search for her next victim. sure, it was a little creepy to draw people without their consent but she was BORED. “hey !!” she called out from where she was lying face down on the grass just as she finished up the rough draft. hopefully it wasn’t too strange to be calling out to whoever was turned away from her to tell them she had been drawing them for the past half an hour or so. “want to see my picture of you ? don’t worry, i didn’t snap a photo of you or anything -- i just drew you...”

“ sorry ? how much ? ” the brunet feels a lump arise in his throat as he’s taken back in shock , “ i never pay more than five dollars for a bagel , how are you possibly telling me that this one costs twelve ? for one bagel ? you realise how stupid that is , right ? ” and he isn’t concerned about the mass of customers behind him , he’s only concerned about the absurd price . “ can you just let it slide ? just this once ? consider it as an i owe you ? can you guys do that ? like i am literally dying of hunger right now and that is literally the cheapest thing on your menu and the next place that sells bagels is a good five minutes away … please ? ” and he begins to talk with his hands to accompany his words , trying to barter with the server as his bank account is in heavy disagreement with him over attempting to purchase anything over a few dollars .
rosa couldn’t help overhearing the conversation between the patron ahead of her in line and the server. he wasn’t wrong -- the price was ridiculous. more and more of these hipster spots were getting pretty greedy with their prices. it’s great to support local but c’mon... “twelve dollars ?” she repeated with utter shock written across her features. of course she didn’t check the price of the place before heading in, she was just too hungry to care...but she’s not hungry enough to drop more than ten dollars on two pieces of bread. “hey -- not to butt in but there’s a cheaper place barely a block away from here. it’s a walk but, if you can handle it -- i’m headed that way and can give you my half eaten bag of almonds...what do ya say ?” she questioned, probably coming out more awkwardly than she’d hoped but she still swung her little baggy of almonds up to him. she could have just did an about face and left but he seemed as starved and fed up with pricing as she did so why not offer in exchange for some company?

❝ i dunno - i’ve just been thinking of dyeing my hair again . ❞ beau speaks aloud , breaking the SILENCE between the two of them as he lounges on one of the chairs in the communal kitchen of cadence . the only remnants of what he managed to find while scouring the fridge was the peel of a banana that was HARDLY satisfying and if anything , made beau all the more hungry . he’s been waiting for his manager to finish up with whatever meeting and truth be told , he wasn’t QUITE sure why he was waiting up for them but it was better than bracing himself for the heat outside of cadence and its lack of central air conditioning . nimble fingers are carding through his dark red hair where his roots were beginning to show , its length having gotten long enough for him to flatten the strand and hold it down across his forehead as he stared at in in CONTEMPLATION . ❝ i really liked the bubblegum pink i had two years back . but part of me wants to try something new … maybe green ?? blue ?? i’m not sure . ❞ the latter part of his sentence is more so mumbled to himself before he pushed his hair out of his face and chocolate hues settled on the person nearby . ❝ what do you think ?? ❞
there was graphite adorning the side of her ring finger as rosa did her best to perfect a sketch she had been coming up with. she gained little to no inspiration at home so she is usually out and about when she first starts sketching. it can be helpful but too often distractions do get in the way. which is why she had one headphone hanging out of her ear, because as much as she wished the two headphones IN would prevent anyone from speaking to her...it never really worked. “how about lavender?” rosa commented as she looked up at him, a small grin stretching out on the side of her mouth. “i’ve always wanted to try that color but for some reason i don’t think i’ll work it as well as you would. i’d live vicariously through you. but if not -- i’d go with green. maybe a turquoise ?”

―― • : ☾ : • » ana de armas. 26. cisfemale. she/her. soccer mommy. | i can’t believe i just saw ROSALÍA ESTRADA walking out of cadence records. they’re a single INDIE ROCK artist who’s been in the industry for THREE YEARS. the tabloids love to focus on their INTOLERANT nature , but they’re also pretty EMPATHETIC and they seem to give off a vibe that reminds people of NATURAL HAIR COLOR PEEKING OUT OF HER ROOTS, PAINT STREAKS ON HIGH WAISTED MOM JEANS, CALLOUSED FINGERTIPS & THE SMELL OF FRESHLY BREWED COFFEE. | em. 21+. est. she/her.
peppa!? what are you doing in my intro post hiya! i’m em and this is my lovely bean rosalía. i’m open to any and every kind of plot and connection so please if you’d like to write together i’ll go ahead and hit you up if you like this post!
rosa was born in Santa Cruz del Norte, Cuba and lived in Havana for most of her childhood until her family moved to New York when she was 14
father was from cuba and her mother was from spain so rosie and her brother are cuban-spanish
her parents were always into music. her mother owned an after school music program for some time while she was growing up and her father was in a local band as the lead guitarist up until they both decided to open up a record store together in the heart of the city called Generation Records
growing up, rosa was incredibly musically inclined -- taking vocal lessons from her mother after school and learning how to play the guitar thanks to her father
in school she maintained focus on her grades even though she knew she wanted to become a singer professionally once she graduated but her parents obviously were still pretty strict when it came to school
rosa did have other interests apart from music and that was art. she was very involved in the art programs in school and still paints on her free time
after graduating high school, rosa went to NYU for psychology while also playing gigs anywhere and everywhere she could, just her and her guitar
when rosa was 20 her parents were both injured in a car accident and unfortunately passed away in the hospital from their injuries
it hit her as hard as it would hit anyone to lose their parents so abruptly and led to her dropping out of college. for a while she was unsure of what to do but figured her parents would have wanted her to be happy -- and so she decided to follow her dreams of becoming a singer-songwriter
she began posting home recorded songs onto youtube for about a year before she gained enough income from online recognition online that she was able to move and sign onto cadence records as an indie rock artist at the age of 23
she released her first full length album in 2016, For Young Hearts, her second album in 2017, Collection, and her third album titled Clean in 2018. She is currently working on her fourth
usually sings about feminism, personal experiences and anything close to her heart
vegetarian, likes to drink, smokes pot on occasion, loves to paint and sketch, big movie buff, loves music festivals and watching local bands and singers, loves to hike and be in nature, becomes quiet when she’s in a bad mood, animals are her weakness, never travels without a cup of coffee
lives in a one bedroom apartment with her pet leopard gecko Ollie
PERSONALITY: (+) empathetic, creative, loyal (-) cynical, intolerant, distrusting
CONNECTIONS: brother(!!!), friends from NY, friends from her mother’s old music program, people who knew her parents, customers from her parents old record store in NY, first love, best friends, old “fans”, new “fans”, literally anything!
