Tim Laughlin
JUNE 2024
Tim Laughlin
CHARACTER JOURNAL:
SUMMARY: Tim arrived with the initial assumption that this is purgatory, but after the events of the last couple weeks, where he stands is no longer completely clear. He came out to Daniel Molloy and was informed by him that Gay Rights are a thing now and so while he is conflicted by the strangeness of the place, he does at least have hope for the future (if heβs not actually dead in purgatory) and that being here will give him some valuable insight to take with him, if he ever returns back home.
His canon love interest Hawkins Fuller is here, but being off more than they are on is kind of their thing so Timβs kinda kombucha girl.gif about it right now, he is open to and in fact desperately wants reconciliation but he also wants to know what itβs like to own his sexuality like the modern gays around here do, without hiding it and keeping it in whispers, which is what Hawk wants to do, and they havenβt yet figured out if itβs possible to meet in the middle about it. So in the meantime Tim fucked nasty with Luci, and probably will again tbh. Also had a series of nice dances with a series of pretty men and generally had a very nice time despite the blasphemous theming, until Hawk started acting like a jealous cuckoo.
His day to day now is consisting of a lot of reading and hanging out in the chapel. Maybe once itβs good and ready heβll get a bible study put together.
JULY 2024
CHARACTER JOURNAL:
SUMMARY: Tim attended the bacchanal, where he was given a given a tag which he attempted to give to Hawk, who refused it even while insisting that Tim took his, triggering a series of events - Tim hooking up with Quentin in the baths (nice, but shameful), saving Alicent from the wolfman with his apparent invulnerability (terrifying, but heroic), and failing to save Hawk from the same thing (absolutely horrifying and traumatic and avoidable, Catholic guilt goes brrrrrr)
He's spent the rest of his time this month devoted to two main goals. The first, nursing Hawk back to health, has gone really well, he is mysteriously and miraculously basically cured, but Tim's moved him into "the adjoining room" to his just to be sure, but neither of them are actually spending much time in there, so they're essentially shacked up. The second goal has been investigating this wolfman business and figuring out what actually kept him from getting mauled. The first theory was religious symbols warding the beast away, which seemed to be corroborated by Matt and Furiosa, but Alicent had one and she got attacked, so now he's settled on the tags. He gave himself up to Alia for some consensual mind control to see how far the protection goes...and yeah it definitely does not extent to mind control. He intends to join the party going out to fight it so that he can shield people.
AUGUST 2024
CHARACTER JOURNAL:
SUMMARY: Another busy month for Timbo β he hunkered down with Hawk and Alicent, bounced a piss-drunk Embry from Hawkβs party and was repaid with his man leaving him, again, so he fled his room and has been bunking with Koby since. Itβs deepened their friendship into Officially Besties territory and also made Tim a sort of third to the Koby/Quentin romance which is kind of complicated and kind of sweet at the same time, he trusts them both enough to feel maybe 50% normal about it which is way way more normal than he would have ever anticipated feeling about any poly arrangement a month ago. In saltburnt we call that growth.
He and Alicent kind of came out to each other and commiserated about the Aches and the Yearnings, Tim kind of initiated a slut era (hooked up with one person outside the aforementioned threesome and flirted with Ash on main which he is now panicking about), starting working on his revenge bod, and is still avoiding Hawk outside of the occasional late-late night phone call to make sure the dreams about murdering him are fake. All normal here!
SEPTEMBER 2024
CHARACTER JOURNAL:
SUMMARY: Not too TOO much happening since I was gone for a lot of the month so a tl;dr version:
- moved back into his own room instead of Koby's broken heart's lounge, this is a sign of progress we think
- situationship with Hawk still situation-ing, Hawk has announced his return date and Tim has not decided if he even wants things to be the same as before no matter how feral-horny and in love he is about him
- on that note Alicent is trying to find him a nice boyfriend who doesn't ditch him every 4-6 weeks, good luck with that. Tim has pledged his allegiance to her in whatever inbred clusterfuck royal drama is about to go down I truly do not know HOTD well enough to spell that out for you
- flirted with some boys on the Butler app, went on a date with Harry
- got handfisted to Danny, outcome to be determined but probably messy
- wigged out about vampires.
OCTOBER 2024
CHARACTER JOURNAL:
SUMMARY: Tl;dr October was a hot mess
Long version is: Tim was very happy for approximately 36 hours until Hawkβs sidepiece got murdered and he got to find out he and Embry were fucking while they were cleaning up the chapel after β which he feels some kind of way about, not because Hawk was seeing someone else while they were off but because Embry specifically is an annoying and disrespectful man (also they look like cousins itβs giving Targaryen)
Then things got worse when werewolf happened! Tim was successful in that he didnβt die and steered some votes, but he flopped at being a doctor, choosing Alicent for the first two rounds and only changing the last time at her behest because heβs a good knight and does what heβs told. Being successful at it even with that caveat was not fun for him and reminded him of being back in Washington in only the worst ways. A probably incomplete list of things he feels horrible about: not telling anyone the truth about Embryβs murder which enabled Danny to go woofin, bringing up Aliaβs name to Alicent, arguing with Quentin about it, convincing Bella to change her doctoring target to Hawk, not saving Baela when he knew sheβd be a target, snapping at Koby over the double-seer debacle, trying to barter lives back and forth with Alina, not telling anyone except Hawk and Alicent about being a doctor, flirting with Harry the entire time (mostly a timing issue, like come on people are dying β put a pin in that tho)...Catholic guilt go brrr.
Also, in the middle of that, someone tried to kill him, he was saved by Hawk, and felt pretty good about putting Danny away for it β except he found out it wasnβt Danny at the party and spiraled again. Itβs fine heβs fine and doesnβt feel crazy about the only werewolf NOT caught being the one that got him. It was babyβs first near-death experience and heβs coping. Idk if heβs doing it well or not but heβs doing it.Β
Other happenings β he and Aemond became sworn brothers and also a comedy duo, he and Hawk were pretty good until he killed Danny which is a lot of complicated feelings, he told Quentin and Koby that he loves them (platonically-ish), and things got kind of serious with Harry when he brought him a pair of blindfolds as a very PRACTICAL gift and then played himself by getting horny about it.Β
Wolf was over for less than a week before Hawk got murdered, which heβs pretty sure is not a permanent condition at this point but heβs still an anxious mess about it. Timboβs quite tired.Β
NOVEMBER 2024
CHARACTER JOURNAL:
SUMMARY: Started the month in depresso mode cuz Hawk was dead and Koby exploded but they're all better now. Hawktim got fairy married and Tim forgave him for (almost) everything so they are back to good for the foreseeable future. Having a lot of sex cuz his man can't keep it in his pants for more than 5 minutes. Like a lot. A truly excessive amount like honestly it's getting difficult to get anything else done it's a marvel that he's even been able to get in trouble this month.
But don't worry, he managed. Became trauma bonded to Aemond and caught feelings and started fucking and cuddling and being so very very normal, so now sistermom Alicent hates him and everyone thinks he's a whore. Happy Thanksgiving.
DECEMBER 2024
CHARACTER JOURNAL:
SUMMARY: Tim was all on track to have a Nice and Normal Christmas with his number one sweetheart and then Alicent had to go and die on them...the beef is completely one-sided you see, that is still sistermom to him and he simply cannot stay out of it due to his nasty habit of aemondsmooching, heβs spent most of his time during the back half of the month waiting on the brothers Targ which is exhausting tbh! Theyβre insane people. Tim needs a nap.
Other relevant happenings:
β’ Attending Kobymas
β’ Having a somewhat productive conversation with Embry??
β’ Nonsexual (but like, kind of sexual) dommed Eddie at the angel/devil party
β’ Flirted with someone cute (Wally) on Butlr and then smooched him under the mistletoe
JANUARY 2025
CHARACTER JOURNAL:
SUMMARY: Started the month by getting his ass beat and blood sucked by Alicent, which is fine, heβs fine, everythingβs fine β as a result he spent a couple weeks recovering and missed the party and the resculpt messiness. Got dumped in the most hurtful fashion he can think of, decided to be the bigger man and not go scorched earth over it, but the temptation is not gone. Tried to apologize to Eddie for choking him semi-erotically at the Otherworld party last month, but Eddie doesn't remember that happening, or trying to kill him during werewolf, which is disturbing, but maybe a chance for a clean slate? Biggest plot twist of the month is Tim and Embry getting along β he even managed not to tell Hawk about him looking through his underwear drawer.
Biggest development in Timβs own opinion is that his jobless era is over, newly employed at Dead Men Tell No Tales, working the bar and learning new tricks.Β
FEBRUARY 2025
CHARACTER JOURNAL:
SUMMARY: Tim got fire powers and lived his little pyro dreams! He was very grateful to end up with something useful that can help people fight and survive, but he was born to nurture not to fight and so it's taking a lot of of him emotionally. He's pleased with himself though! Got to fight alongside Koby, Jinx, Hawk, Eddie (plot twist), and more. Reconnected a little with Alicent, carried Harry to safety because he was paralyzed while power-nerfed, and prayed with Embry over Ash's body which - important to note - was laying on a couch despite having perfe trying good fire powers which would have made a burial possible. Which was not traumatizing at all obviously.
Next month: Lent. No fun allowed.
MARCH 2025
CHARACTER JOURNAL:
SUMMARY: Tim got aphro'd out of his mind and finally put an end to the will-they-won't-they question with Harry in the affirmative, only for Harry to disappear from the house. The day before Lent, Hawk starting hallucinating while inside him so he's had blue balls all month. Bonded with newcomers Goodsir and Shauna. Was publicly objectified and crashed out about it.
April 2025
CHARACTER JOURNAL:
SUMMARY: Tim suffered through the rest of Lent with dignity and grace, and spend much of it rizzing up an old man (Harry Goodsir). Finally, Easter came, and of course it was a mess, he had the joy of hallucinating some demons and swapping punches with Embry. Was a fun hating buzzkill about the superlatives, which did not stop after he won two not very flattering categories (worst at pretending he has his life together, and most likely to cry during sex). If you happen to be wondering how quickly he proved both of these allegations to be true, the answer is immediately, as that relationship with Goodsir was consummated only days after his no-sex-for-Lent vow ended. He's quite smitten! It'll work out this time, really!
His Butler profile was written for him this time, but the house proved unable to get any slutty hookups out of him besides the aforementioned. Just some more bickering between he and Hawk as his man refuses to admit there's anything wrong with him post-death and therefore Tim is now allowed to help.
Other assorted things:
- went to prom with Hawk, spared some dances and photobooth makeouts for others
- found Set, Iggy, and Jackie (Foxbridge) completely insufferable
- gossiped with Embry about annoying doms and Koby about their fellow hot nerds
MAY 2025
CHARACTER JOURNAL:
SUMMARY: Big month for Tim (unfortunate).
- Defined the relationship with Goodsir (BOYFRIEND π₯°)
- Crashed out so hard over seeing his surprise sex tape in the carnival tent that he died.
- Came back as an angel. Exchanged I Love Yous with Goodsir, beat the shit out of Koby, finally topped Hawk, menaced Embry in an ambiguously erotic way, adopted Shauna, and burned down the chapel. He's feeling really normal about all of that, thanks for asking.
- Somehow made a few new friends on his apology tour. (Stefan, Stephen, Devon, and reintroducing Frannie)
- intimacy a little strained due to death trauma + tarot draw making him decide not to be submissive anymore. He and Hawk are working on it. On June 1st he'll get his back blown out and it'll fix him for 24 hours before the memloss hits and he becomes insane again.
