driving back to my dorm now… formulating so many zero day, elephant, and passengers posts… you guys will never believe how fast my brain is going…

i love the idea of benson being somewhere between 30-40 years old.

he grunts when he gets out of his car and when he lays down in bed at night. he bought his shotgun when he was in his mid twenties and only uses it to hunt, but he can’t ever kill anything. he went to college at 18, dropped out in his junior year, and moved back in with his mom.

he’s worked odd jobs since then. his favorites have been repairing cars and a random construction job an old friend from school needed help on.

with age, he’s become a quieter person. he hates how randy gets bullied at work; it brings him back to his childhood. there’s something deep inside him that burns with guilt after he gets off work after a long day of watching the torment but never stepping in.

his hips have gotten worse, and his knees get weak after a while. he consistently asks hardy for jobs in the back like inventory or stocking the freezer because it means he can sit down and take breaks. when he takes his actual break during a shift, a shitty 30 minutes of sitting with customers while eating cold fries before going outside to smoke, it’s never enough. he’s always tired.

he’s had his eyes on randy for a while. he doesn’t get his hopes up that the boy might like him or even feel anything other than apathy for him. still, randy is something he can look forward to when he gets up in the morning. he’s far from his teenage years and his twenties, but something about randy brings him joy like a crush in elementary school.

since i’m starting to post hcs about the passenger, here’s a little intro to the characters!

the main character is randy bradley!! he’s a very quiet, neurotic, and scared man. he’s around 19-22 years old. he’s bullied by people at work and has an overprotective mother who doesn’t leave him alone. he has trauma from his past, especially from an incident in school, that shapes him into who he is. (a gif of him is underneath this)

the second main character is benson! he’s randy’s coworker at the restaurant ‘burgers burgers burgers.’ he’s somewhere between his mid-20s and late-30s (some people say he’s older, some say he’s younger.) he lives with his mom who he has a strained relationship with. he is quite an angry man due to his past and tries to gain some control back in life by taking out his feelings on others. he truly cares for randy but shows it in a very fucked up way. (a gif of him is underneath this)

this is the two of them together!!

when they were in middle school, cal and andre planned to join the track team together.

andre had always been somewhat athletic. he never complained or stopped when the school made them run the mile. he honestly liked it.

cal, on the other hand, vomited ten minutes in and had to make up the mile because he passed out before getting to the half way point. when he showed up at track tryouts, the coach honestly laughed.

andre outran most kids at tryouts and every practice after that. sure, he wasn’t the best on the team, but he definitely wasn’t the worst. he tried to hang with cal to encourage him and make him keep running, but cal would get frustrated and tell him to fuck off.

after about a month, cal completely gave up on the dream of running with andre. while cal was disappointed in himself, andre was genuinely upset.

he told his parents he wanted to quit track if cal wasn’t there with him. his parents strictly told him no. he was good at the sport; plus, it never hurt to make some more friends.

cal would still be at every meet, cheering from the stands as andre ran. he’d lay back and rest his feet on the bleacher in front of him when somebody else was racing, but he’d go ballistic when andre even walked out.

they were together, even if it wasn’t in the way they wanted. track would be andre’s thing, but that doesn’t mean cal can’t be there with him.
