Lost Causes || Arthur's Plots

[Arthur Kirkland]

aren't we all to you just near lost causes

I'll guard my dreams, I'll figure this out, It's me in my own helpless hurting hell. Ripping and breaking and tearing

Male • Sixteen • Pureblood • Slytherin • Bisexual • Misfit • Mischief-Maker

friends Friendships are probably the most difficult relationships for Arthur to make, if only for the fact that he's a generally unpleasant person to be around, as he can have a bit of a temper, can be argumentative, and is unafraid to voice his opinions. Not to mention, his brittle dry humor and remarks aren't for everyone. However, once they're made, Arthur is fiercely loyal because of the overall rarity of friends for him. And it's only his close friends who see and know the rare and typically guarded softer, kinder side to his prickled exterior.

enemies This is likely his most populous category. Arthur has a history of fighting with other students when he was younger, having been previously picked on for his small size and contemptuous nature. Some of which he'd start as well. Most of these fights from his younger years evolved into slightly healthier rivalries and snarky comments as he got older and as the detentions grew more numerous. Arthur is used to generally being disliked and he pretends that it doesn't bother him as much as it sometimes does.

romance Arthur is in his awkward sixteen-year-old phase of racing hormones and the occasional fumbling confessions and kisses in dark corridors. If he does come to like someone romantically, then he (for once) will struggle with the proper words for it, even with himself. Similarly to friendships, though, once he is truly interested in someone, then he will exhibit a certain sense of fierce loyalty toward them.

others Family members, working relationships, acquaintances, faculty members, teammates, and other such things will find themselves categorized here.

Amelia and Arthur Kirkland

Well..Amelia is the half sister of one of Arthur's friends, so that's automatically one reason why they'd know each other despite being two years apart and in different houses. Amelia can also be a bit of a troublemaker, though I see being a lot worse in the present because of her issues with her father. So..if she ends up on good terms/friends with Arthur, that'll probably only make things worse (which I have no issues with lol)

Natalya and Arthur

I've always seen these two as getting along fairly well, and it's no different here. They're both cold and prickly at first, but then once you get to know them they soften up. So..I wouldn't mind exploring that sort of dynamic with these two on here, though we'd have to decide where they're at - if they're already past the stage where they've dropped their guard or they're still working on it

So many plots! Ok we could totally have a good plot between Feli and Arthur with Slytherin bro shenanigans. We could also have a thread with Albrecht and Arthur on the Quidditch pitch. Let me know what you want to do!

[Arthur Kirkland]

Amelia Fitzgerald : Yes absolutely! He would probably be nothing but a bad influence on her at this point... particularly since he has his own volatile relationship with his parents and is on a bit of a rebellious streak at the moment with regards to standing up to all their past bullshit. He’d likely say similar things to her if they’re on friendly terms, lol. Perhaps they first met when she was a first year and he was a third?

Natalya Arlovskaya : I’ve always thought the same, pfft. They seem to share a similar sense of gallows humor, which I would love to see in action. The level of snark between them would be fantastic. l’D If they met earlier on, then Arthur would probably be more apt to open up to her.

Feliciano Vargas : Yes! I’d love to thread something with these two as far as some of the things we’ve gone over. Perhaps even post-nightmare in the dorms or common area? Or just overall shenanigans pretty much anywhere, I'm open!

Albrecht Beilschmidt : I was so happy to see that Albrecht is head of the Slytherin quidditch team as well as the dueling club! Arthur’s also rather active in the dueling club. I think Arthur would appreciate his stern, but fair persona, and would likely respect him quite a bit in the end for it. I did make vague mention in Arthur’s app that one professor in particular had something of an impact on him by suggesting his participation in quidditch as well as the dueling club,  that it might be a positive thing for him. Especially since he was a troubled kid in his early years at Hogwarts, probably having quickly gained a mountain of detentions. And it’s something that did help him quite a bit in the end. Arthur’s the kind of wild dolt that needs firm guidance. And Albrecht seems like he might fit that role in a way? What’re your thoughts? But yes! I’d love a thread on the quidditch pitch to start.

So, I come to either request something offering a girl who will probably ask for lessons on English in return for baked goods, she also does head girl things and rival quidditch, or a potions professor who also has bad english, is very Norse everything, and who is way too much a mom. Either way, I would love to try a thing, I think it would be pretty neat. 

[Feliciano Vargas]

Albrecht is SUCH a dad, he'd love to be Artie's mentor.He's definitely the hard love kind of guy but he'd always be there for Arthur. Is there anything in particular you'd like to do with the two of them?

As far as Feli goes we could totally do a post nightmare thing! It'd be cute to see the softer side of Arthur with Feli!

[Arthur Kirkland]

Katya Chernenko : omg yes, can’t turn down baked goods. Or a mother figure for that matter. I think these two could potentially be very adorbs. A typically grumpy Arthur would likely soften a bit around her, since she does have that persona. Let’s do this. Would you be up for threading?

Feliciano Vargas : Albrecht: Aww more cuteness. Yes, hard love is all that will probably reach this kiddo, so it’s perfect. Albrecht can take on the challenges. As for something in particular, I don’t know if Albrecht might eventually call this kid into his office if he got into more than his usual quota of trouble for the week, or perhaps the sort of fights that he might’ve been involved in when he was younger? Albrecht probably would be the only faculty member patient enough to deal with him… uvu Arthur would be immediately cowed if he had to see Albrecht, pfft.

Feli: Yeeees! Would you like me to write the starter? I could probably get to it this weekend after my crazy work dies down on Friday?

▷ Okay, hear me out now. Matt and Arthur, I feel, would have a very cordual relationship. I can see them having lovely chats about the finer things in life, like how tea should never be cold, and how marmite is actually good if used correctly. I see them talking about stories they have read and maybe talk about the politics of the ministry. I just see them getting on so well, so I would love to see them just having a civil conversation over tea or something.

I don't mind starting it for tonight If you can handle doing Albrecht and Arthur? Maybe we can do a past thread where Albrecht had Arthur meet him out on the Quidditch pitch for one of his detentions. Arthur just thinks he's going to be organizing the stock room or ends up doing an impromptu try out with Albrecht.

Albrecht thinks this will be a way to give him a chance to belong to something in the hopes that it would help him stop lashing out and getting into so much trouble. What do you think?

[Arthur Kirkland]

Matthieu Williams : Matthew, you're too cute. Yes, there needs to be some civil company thrown in. Arthur can perhaps behave himself for a bit, for tea. Anything for tea. And marmite. To the point where they're probably starting some dorky club where they make it a point to do all of these things for at least an hour or two within the week. De-stress that only they could classify as de-stress, lol. I love this.

Feliciano Vargas : Oh thank you! And yes, of course! I'll handle Albrecht and Arthur for the starter. And a past thread would be lovely. That's exactly what I was hoping for, actually. I'll let you know when I get it up.

▷ Can the name of that club be "Alfred is annoying" club? Because I MEAN. Tea, tea snacks and talking about how annoying Alfred is? I'm pretty sure Mattie would be down-- LOVES HIS BROTHER TO DEATH-- but he's annoying. Shh it's endearing though
