— art donaldson’s rp plotting cheat sheet

please read this post before you read anything else. it details the au that i’ve been developing for art and it’s integral to understanding this sheet, because i’ll be mentioning things from it in this post.

Mun name: Jasmine

OOC Contact: discord is my preferred platform, but i can chat in ims if you don't have discord

Who the heck is my muse anyway:

art donaldson. one of the most influential and well-respected tennis players in the world. ranked ninth in the world before his retirement in 2024. won two aussie opens, two french opens, two wimbledons and one us open. formerly half of tennis’ favorite power couple. has been in court a lot more than he’d like. has told judges (and by extension, the public) a lot more about his private life than he’d like. his name is on every gossip magazine in the world for months. the buzz never really goes away, people just stop talking about it.

he’s a quiet man, and it’ll take him a bit to open up to you, even if he knew you before he became a world renowned tennis star. he doesn’t talk about his past. he doesn’t like thinking about it, and he doesn’t like the pity on people’s faces when he brings it up. he absolutely loves his daughter and is trying his hardest to make sure that she never, ever goes through anything like he did. he’s friendly, but he tries his best to keep to himself. if you need a hand with something, though, chances are art is willing to lend one.

Points of interest:

physical features

he’s got blond hair that he keeps short. when he was young, it used to be longer, but he got it cut right around the time he and tashi got engaged and he hasn’t let it grow out since. he doesn’t know if he wants to.

despite retiring, he’s still physically fit. he keeps up with the same exercise regimen he used to have when he played tennis, but he’s altered it to fit his less active lifestyle. the most visibly muscular parts of him are his arms. they’re just big. he does have abs, but you can’t see them that well. he’s a pretty bulky guy, though.

he’s always got some sort of look in his eye like he’s remembering something he’d rather forget.

he has a medusa tattoo underneath his right shoulder blade. he doesn’t have any other tattoos and he doesn’t plan on getting more. he was extremely hesitant to get it, but he went out and got it done one night in secret.

he’s very light on his feet. it’s ironic, considering how big he is, but he’s always been able to walk pretty quietly. he needed to be light on his feet for tennis and he never really learned how to not be.

What they’ve been up to recently:

court battles

he divorced his wife and got full custody of their daughter. he also got restraining orders against his wife and her ex-boyfriend. all of this was televised because his wife wanted to “clear her name” even though she was guilty. the court battles with tashi and patrick were basically art’s universe’s equivalent of the depp v heard case. he also was in court to sue netflix over some documentaries they made of the court battles.

pta

after art divorces tashi, he decides to become involved with the pta at lily’s school. he needs something to do now that he’s not playing tennis all the time, and he wants to make sure lily isn’t getting into trouble, so the pta seems like the best option.

coaching tennis

he started a program in their neighborhood where he coaches tennis for the local kids in the summer. it’s completely free and he’s sort of reclaimed his love for tennis through the program. he loves working with the kids and it’s a fun way to bond with lily. he coaches adults, too, but those are private lessons. he’s sort of picky about who he takes on as a student, and he’s still working out the kinks of coaching adults one on one. adult lessons are also free.

Where to find them:

school

he’s after school most days with the pta, and it’s probably the easiest place to find him. everyone knows him and he knows everyone. he’s always willing to help a parent or kid that approaches him with a question or a concern. he might not know how to address the issue, but he’ll try his best to.

tennis court

in the summer, this is the best place to find art. he’s there almost every day, and he’s typically there pretty much all day, too. if you need a water or a gatorade or just want to stop by and watch him coach, this is where you’ll find him.

Current plans:

recovery

i tend to write art post canon, which means that he’s already gone through all of the abuse he suffered at the hands of tashi and patrick. he’s working on recovering and trying to move on from what they put him through, but it’s a slow process. he’s got fourteen years of trauma to work through, after all.

Desired interactions:

stanford era

give me art in stanford. give me classmates and fellow tennis players concerned about the bruises he’s got and the way that he keeps brushing them off as clumsiness. give me eyes narrowed in suspicion when he flinches away from patrick at practice. give me students and teachers being concerned about art but getting absolutely nowhere because art isn’t telling them a thing.

therapy

art does not want to go to therapy. art needs to go to therapy. he’s got to work everything through and he can’t do that by himself, no matter how much he insists he can. i would love to do some threads with therapists, but just know that art’s trauma is incredibly heavy and will take time to work through.

journalists

this is one of my favorites. i would love for art to get interviewed at any point in his life, but for maximum drama, i’d say the best (worst) time would be during the court battles and following that mess. i also would love for him to do an interview a few years later, when he’s healed somewhat and is ready to set the record straight.

single parents/pta parents

art needs friends. preferably, he needs single parent friends, but he also just needs friends in general. he needs people that won’t look at him with pity and won’t try to tell him they’re sorry for him. he needs people that will be there for him and be friends with him.

Offered interactions:

tennis coach

does your muse have a kid that wants to learn how to play tennis? if so, art is probably their best bet. art is a good coach and he’s good with kids, so it works out. and the kids have fun with it, and art has fun with the kids. he also coaches adults in private, one on one sessions. he’s a little pickier with those, but your muse might have a chance.

pta dad

there is a very good chance that your muse will see art around school. he’s pretty approachable, so if you see him around, go say hi! he needs friends.

Current open post/s:

i don’t have any opens. i prefer to plot.

Anything else?:

if you’re interested in shipping with art, that’s great! just be aware that he is a hard muse to ship with. he’s extremely cautious of falling in love and if he does end up falling for someone, he keeps his distance. if your muse has a higher sex drive, they might want to look elsewhere. art has an awful relationship with sex and it takes him a very, very long time to become comfortable enough with someone to even think about having sex with them, and an even longer time for him to actually do it. and even then, the chances of him having to stop are incredibly high. if this isn’t an issue for your muse, that’s great! feel free to approach me about shipping anytime. we can always work things out!

someone said it on twitter but i can’t find it - but it’s astonishing how people found it more believable that a woman in her 20s concocted a scheme over multiple years to frame her millionaire, worldwide-famous actor husband of domestic abuse, as opposed to the possibility that this famous actor (who is almost 20 years her senior and has publicly-known problems with alcohol and drugs since the 90s) was so angry that his moment in hollywood had passed, he wasn’t as popular as he used to be, but that his wife was doing better at the box-office than he was, she wanted to leave him and he just couldn’t stand the idea of her being happy or financially stable without him. misogyny is a fabulous thing isn’t it.

[justiceamberheard]

Amber Heard is what would've happened to Nicole Brown Simpson if she survived. I've heard the phrase 'the only good woman is a dead woman' many times in my life but never has it felt more significant.

Thank you for everything you've done and continue to do, even when the case isn't "trending" anymore. I'm limiting my visits to this blog for my mental health now + they reached a settlement but I'll be back to support this blog in a few years when the public finds a new celebrity witch to burn. Cheers x

"You won’t ever know the worst that happened to Nicole Brown Simpson in her marriage, because she is dead and cannot tell you. And if she were alive, remember, you wouldn’t believe her." - Andrea Dworkin

[squirrelstone]

You know, I never understood the logic of people who genuinely understood and believed that Johnny Depp is well-known to be abusive on set and in public to damn near everyone he meets, but also thought he didn’t abuse Amber Heard. You can understand that he’s abusive, just not to his wife? Even though most abusers exhibit this pattern of behavior in their personal lives long before the rest of the world sees it?

What is it that makes you stop believing at Amber Heard? And what makes you willing to excuse all of his past cases of abuse? Cause all you’re doing is saying “it’s okay that he abused and assaulted all these people because Amber Heard is lying.”

I’ve used the logic before to get people to understand that he abused Amber- that he’s got history of being abusive, so what are the odds it stopped at her?- but some of y’all just stopped halfway. You got to 2+ but didn’t wanna finish the equation cause you knew how it ended.

I genuinely love that I instantly lose followers whenever I post or reblog anything pro-Amber Heard

Easiest follower cleanse / purge ever

You support an ab*sive r*pist like J*hnny D*pp? Please, feel free to get the fuck out and stay the fuck out

[fionapplespiano]

[breathetoseethetruth]

I will never get over the fact, that one argument of D*pp supporters unironically is: "She doesn't look battered enough."

When exactly is a woman "battered enough" for you all?

This goes hand in hand with misogynistic men saying, that women should just endure it and stay, until their life is in active danger.

This goes hand in hand with people's subconscious idea, that only a dead victim is a perfect victim, because if she can still breathe, then she can still lie.

People saw Amber's injuries and deemed them not good enough, not severe enough, not "realistic looking enough" and somehow came to the conclusion that therefore, they must have been painted on.

We live in a day and age, where millions of people decided that it's believable that an abused woman painted on injuries, and do not care what a precedent this will set for possibly millions more women (at worst, they blame her for it). They chose to believe this insanity, rather than that a man simply did lay his hand on her. They excuse and ignore one piece of damning evidence after another against this man, but will scrutinize the tiniest flinch on the woman's face.

And yet, men have the audacity to claim that people are after them. That there's an "epidemic of men being falsely accused". They will use this against EVERY woman who will dare to name her abuser.

And so many of you enabled them.

[yelena-bellova]

You had the audacity to pretend to be a feminist and care about Pamela Anderson, yet you can't recognize a powerful male abuser like Depp playing by the oldest rules in the book and utilizing DARVO. We are so fucked.

You’re right. The true feminists are you guys.

- Telling Rihanna to go choke and d*e because she put JD in the Fenty show.

- Telling Britney Spears her conservatorship should be reinstated for posting a JD quote on IG and that she deserves to have all her rights taken away.

- Cheering online when a female JD supporter succumbed to a long illness.

- Harassing numerous women online and telling them (anonymously) that they deserve to be SA’d and to k*ll themselves.

- Sending threats to Camille Vasquez, a young woman of color succeeding in a predominantly male profession.

Wow. The girl power is overwhelming.

[ewwarrior]

UR "Not all men, you're right, my pedro pascal wouldn't do that" or whoever, PISSES ME OFF.

And then, a victim appears, and you don't believe them, bc of some parasocial relationship with a man you don't know - i'm not saying pedro is an abuser, but he could be.

You use some incel statement and agree with it, for a man. My fucking god, you're already sexually harassing Pedro Pascal and know for your comic effect, you side with incels in a hurting way for every fucking one.

Pedro is a sweetheart, but you guys have this " Depp is hot and cute the ppl arez lying he wouldn't do that" even tho he's proved violent man, so obviously i don't trust no one to make that kind of "humor" bc we know what side you take when someone comes forward.

We can love Pedro without this non sense ! I love him, he's a kind man, a sweet soul, but the thing we don't really know him and we can't pretend that this man his perfection and would never hurt a fly; we don't know him.

[juanitasupreme]

Mind you Jawny Depp stans paid for those documents which yet again just highlights how wronged Amber was during this whole trial
