DANTE APOLLO DEMARCO
&& dante apollo demarco
&& agender and male, he/they
&& eighteen years old
&& greyromantic homosexual, taken
&& he is the dad â„¢, which means that he'll tell you bad puns, wears lots of denim, and will tell you "if it's okay with your mother". he whisks you away on lots of adventures, loves the woods, and not-so-secretly plays sports, too.
&& his child is his border collie named demetri but umm he also adopted his bf's kiddos
&& he's super irresponsible and has no idea how to take care of himself. none. he smokes, he bathes like idk every two to three days, he's probably said the phrase "you can wear jeans three days in a row", he's constantly dehydrated which he thinks is why he's such a thirsty gay boy, and he sleeps too much but he looks like he has never slept a day in his life sometimes. however, he always somehow manages to look put together with a messy charm.
&& checks his friend's grades to make sure that they're doing okay.
&& somehow he's really good at caring for other people's mental health? like he'll come over when you're depressed with blankets to make forts and hot chocolate and good books and 80s music and a playlist of funny youtube videos.
&& baseball! baseball? baseball...yep, he has the foam fingers and the caps and he probably bought you a jersey for your birthday even though you don't know how to spell baseball. honestly, his favorite place is this run down baseball field by the house he was born in, he loves the chainlink fence, the peeling paint, the dewey grass, the memories.
&& you know how basically the hallmark of an american dad is playing catch in your backyard? dante didn't have anything close to that growing up because his own dad was a piece of shit who took all of the money that his mom earned and spent it at strip clubs while his kids were starving. but that guy left. and dante eventually got over it, but he still has the chronic depression and a whole lot of things swept under his brain's carpet. not to worry! dante is that kind of good dad though. the kind who drops their kids off at school and makes them lunch and tucks them in with a kiss.
&& writes in colored pencils like a bad bitch (i swear, he just thinks colors are super duper pretty).
&& he's in IB and his lowest grade is a 97 but if you ask he won't tell you because he likes to maintain an air of mystery. most people assume that he's a dumbass and he doesn't mind because then he doesn't have to talk to those assholes.
&& LOVES ART. HE IS AN ART ADDICT. he loves making sculptures and sketching milo "like one of his french girls". if you want to be his friend, invite him to an art gallery in a sketchy neighborhood and he'll be there, ready to party and discuss the symbolism behind a dot.
&& always wears a jean jacket. he has one with an embroidered tiger with roses around it, one that says "not your girl", and the one he usually wears, which is plain, but he rolls up the sleeves and it's covered in blue and yellow paint.
&& he shows you that he loves you by sticking up for you when someone is being rude to you. he also shows his affection by leaving little poems that he writes around the house and cooking and cleaning.
&& the best kisser you know
&& his mom is french and jewish and his dad is italian
&& demarco means "mars", as in, the god of war/the god of men. dante means "enduring". and apollo is for the greek god of poetry and music. all of which match him perfectly.
&& he has a lot of anxiety but he'll push you away when he's anxious because he doesn't want you to see him cry. the only person who has ever seen him cry is milo.
&& he also gets angry frequently, but he's a softie, and if he ever expresses anger at you he'll immediately be mad at himself.
&& he has a weird relationship with god. he doesn't hate the bible or the torah or anything, but he does hates hypocrites, and he finds a lot of them are in places of worship. also, he's always kind of struggled because his father was catholic and always fought with his mom about which religion he would be predominantly raised under. he's kind of agnostic, but with strong religious tendencies (more so towards reformist jewish).
&& in love with milo's goofy face
&& he's a really good hiphop dancer but he sucks at any other kind of dance (especially ballroom dances because he doesn't think they have any soul)
&& he's that boy that you want to be friends with. the one with the walkman. the one with the hot rod convertible. the one who you dream of running away with to neverland with good music and no turning back.
&& can name every northern hemisphere constellation.
&& can't do most of science (other than physics and astronomy) for shit but he's amazing at math, english, and history.
&& he's a good singer but he tought himself. he also really wants to learn to play piano and the violin but he never taught himself that. oh yeah, fun fact, literally everything he has ever done is something that he taught himself.
&& he kinda wants to be a teacher? he also kinda wants to never grow up even though he's already 18.
&& he says he's hyped that he's 18 becuase now he can legally go to clubs, but he misses sneaking into them, so now he mostly hangs out at home w/ his bf and watches sappy movies.
&& shoplifts (BUT NOT IN FRONT OF THE CHILDREN)
&& he has a lot of bad habits that he thinks are fun but also he's trying to stop.
&& one of his favorite things in the world is laser tag, he just loves adrenaline in general.
&& pretends to be a spy like 24/7. he rolls around on the ground a LOT.
&& would join the military or the cia
&& umm he smart he dumb he nice he fun
