NAME: Timothy.
FANDOM: FILM | Were the World Mine.
TIMELINE: Mid-film | 1:00:00.
AGE: 17.
APPERANCE: HERE.
►Timothy is a young man around 5’10 with dark hair and a slender yet toned build. His eyes are light and his skin is a mild olive color. Within the film he is dressed either in his school uniform or basic outerwear, and normally adorns a pair of skinny-jeans with a wallet chain while his shirt switches between a basic t-shirt or button-up dress shirt with a loose red and black striped tie. While in uniform he also wears and open black blazer. Within the film his mother sews him a set of wings from her wedding dress for his role in A Midsummers Night's Dream as Puck that look like THIS that he wears even when out of character and off the stage during various points within the film. Overall, his style is a cross between bohemian and hipster though he lacks the cocky attitude of one.
ABILITIES:Timothy on his own lacks any supernatural ability, he is an average teenage boy with more talent upon the stage than within battle or sport. He has a talent for acting and a singing voice to match, anyof his abilities of the average human are indeed that, average. It is assumed that he is a decent academic in his final year of high school attending the all-boys private school Morgan Hill that is canonly located in an undisclosed location within the United States. He is in shape from perpetually riding his bike and attending the hour-long course of physical education at his school, even though he is a decent shot in basketball he does not hold any obvious athletic talent within the film. What becomes unique about his skills comes partway through the film when he is cast as Puck in William Shakespeare’s "A Midsummers Nights Dream".
His instructor and director of the play, Ms. Tibbet, offering him the scrip also offers him insight to the ability to change his future in a rather supernatural method by claiming to awaken and empower what was within. She claims that by uniting rhythm with words, he is capable of unlocking a power and through the script he is able to do just that. Looking upon the script, he is given the ability to create Cupid's Love Juice and through song infuses it within a purple pansy that spouts said juice into the eyes of another. When the object opens their eyes, akin to the play, they fall in love with the first person they lay eyes upon and Timothy utilizes this to create utter mayhem at his school and throughout the town he lives in. Also to mentioned, when those affected by the flower are pulled in they start acting like characters from the text. As example, those Timothy infused started speaking in iambic pentameter and stating their feelings openly as if one would in a Shakespearian theatrical.
The flower is his only unnatural ability, as well as the obvious talent to unlock things with will through text within the realm of his involvement, and the focus of the film as he attempts to change the outlook of those around him on views of homosexuality.
PERSONALITY: Timothy is very much defined as a character through his sexuality. Openly queer, his portrayal of his homosexuality is far from flamboyant and while he is open about it, he is also a teenager in a hostile environment and has to learn to cope with it. While he is accepting of himself, he is stuck trying to accept the world around him which proves to be a disappointment as he surrounded by those who are against his lifestyle. A handful of negative people create the hostility within his environment for him and like anyone placed into a bad situation, he rebels against it with equal negativity. He victimizes himself, and he is a good example of a boy with the complex of abandonment by one of his parents along with the clichéd only-child syndrome. He places himself in the situation as a combatant for his own choices and that any that stand against him stands as a rival to his lifestyle. As a character he tends to jump to conclusions quickly and is not above being petty despite his rather serious nature that is only unwound around trusted companions to which he becomes more relaxed in his posture, action and voice. He has a tendency to get into things that are over his head without much hesitation and will jump to defend or change what he finds unfair while still being mildly passive about it. It takes a great deal to upset him but when it happens, he is no one to step down easily.
Very much the embodiment of a Shakespearian character, Timothy is akin to Puck, the character he is casted as in 'A Midsummers Night's Dream'. He is vengeful to a point, and while really wants the best for the outcome, is not against extracting quick and just revenge whenever someone attempts to hurt himself or someone he cares about. Within the film, once he gains hold of the purple pansy he utilizes to changes others outlooks, his mother is confronted by her employer, Nora Bellinger, about her son’s homosexuality. Instead of viewing it as something against his mother's character, he takes it as his own and claims "Try walking in my shoes for a little while" before changing sight and opinion of the woman to focus her attractions to his mother. Selfish in a way, and once again playing the role of the victim, he takes the attack and focuses it upon himself while defending his mother from being shouted at and nearly fired from her occupation. Not above being petty in some manners, ultimately he does not think his actions are unjustified by changing unwilling minds to his liking, very much as if a modern day Puck.
Outspoken on the issues that he cares for, Timothy is otherwise slightly withdrawn likely due to being bullied in the past and other issues that surround his family. Around those he considered friends, he is blunt and playful and possess and rather understated sense of humor. Yet, while it takes him awhile to trust people, he is not without the capability to make and keep friends. It’s all circumstantial as he is certainly not unkind and not unwilling to share decent conversation, if not being a little quiet about it at first. He is slightly passive, he often needs to be directed and pushed into things at times but once within the realm he needs to be, he seems to fit the role perfectly.
HISTORY: Born to a then average couple, Timothy grew up knowing of his sexuality once it formulated at a proper age. Yet what his family lacked in return was proper support and understanding about his lifestyle. With only a handful of moments in the film filling in Timothy's back-story, from what is mentioned most can be assumed due to interpretation of character interaction between himself and his mother, as well as the few lines that are shared about his past and the lack of support and involvement from his father who he has disowned. Primarily between the parents it is the father that is expressed as the conflict, Timothy claiming him as an obstructive role within his life, causing him to feel segregated from the traditional family values that were attempted to formulate a stable family unit that eventually fell apart. While his mother states that he ran away from them to live with childhood friend Frankie and her family, Timothy's opinions differ in stating he was kicked-out by the absent father instead of turning on his own will and ultimately leading to his mother's choice to remove herself from the relationship and divorce despite being dependent upon the father for financial stability. Something that she claims she still misses, that they were "better off" with Timothy's father around.
After the split between his parents it is presumed that Timothy moved back in with his mother at another home. His mother having to turn to work in order to keep him at Morgan Hill, a private school located geographically someone within the United States, assumption can be made that at the public school level he was extensively bullied and his mothers struggles to keep him at an exclusive all-boys school, is another method to prevent him from being attacked due to his sexuality. Explanation for this assumption can be drawn from the film in which his mother becomes annoyed at an injury Timothy gets from a game of dodge ball, automatically presuming that it was a hit from bullying. Secondly comes from Timothy's seemingly passive nature to aggressive stand points against his person. Later in the film, the word "FAGGOT" is graffitied on his locker, yet instead of breaking down and hiding from the ordeal, Timothy confronts it and goes to seek out the ones he thinks preformed the act. If he was not already used to bullying to a degree, the reaction would have different and conflict likely ignored or avoided all together, sadness in lieu of anger and annoyance. Overall, his mother turns out to be a character of overbearing, overprotective qualities, abrasive but learning to cope with her son's sexuality. In the beginning she does not understand why he is queer and believes it to be her fault. The columns of Timothy's support are close friends Frankie and Max that are implied to have known him for quite some time as they are portrayed as extremely close in the film. They are the foundation that push him to perform and act as he might not without their insistent teasing or playful direction.
At the beginning of the film, canon establishes that Timothy is a student, attending his last year of high school at the all-male academy entitled Morgan Hill. Obvious teasing and palpable bias towards him is expressed and while it is not a completely negative environment, the majority of the maltreatment stems from a few select characters while the rest of his school-mates tease and prod him about his sexuality, even though Timothy is not a character to take it submissively and at times bites back openly. The gym coach, Coach Driskill, is viewed as a source that perpetuates his students' hostility towards Timothy, primarily members the institutions all-star rugby team. There is one student though, Jonathon, who shows a mild inclination of kindness towards him after he is hit in the eye viciously with a dodge ball during the allotted time of physical education. Overall though, it is obvious that his existence and participation within the school is slightly withdrawn due to the harassment that is directed towards him due to his sexuality.
Taking a Shakespeare in literature class, Timothy is introduced to his instructor Ms. Tibbet, who is automatically a source of reliability due to her quick quelling of the classes teasing towards him as he enters the class room, that "no one shall disrespect a soul" within the environment of her classroom. She is a character that is open and completely accepting of all walks of life and all natures and therefore becomes a sort of life-coach towards Timothy whose obvious hounding from the other boys within the school catches her eye. Yet, his mind is in another place obviously not caring for the subject at the moment.
During this time Jonathon is introduced as the established love interest who is a first portrayed as heterosexual and referred to as "jock boy" by Timothy's closest friends and companions, Frankie and Max. During the song entitled 'Oh Timothy', his day dream takes him to a fantasy realm where Jonathon calls out to him as a lover would. Still, brought from his trance, Ms. Tibbet informs Timothy to the production of A Midsummers Night's Dream in which she seems persistent he audition despite his obvious lack of faith within his ability to perform in the remolded musical. She claims though, that what he need to do is "awaken and empower what is within".
When he gets home, he is hanging out with his friends as he ignores his mother when she asks for help with groceries and as stated in the personality write-up, seems to possess a slight only-child syndrome to coincide with his abandonment issues and hatred towards his father who he claims he has none of. His mother on the other hand proves to be a little over protective of her son who has obviously been bullied in the past due to her negative and rather aggressive reaction at the injury Timothy had sustained during class even though he is quick to claim it was just an accident. She claims that his father was right, and she "should have locked him up in his room" that causes him to leave out of anger. Only after Frankie informs her of the truth is she apologetic, but Timothy keeps the remainder of the way keeping silent and away from her despite her attempts to quell his ire.
While his mother, previously unemployed, works on her new occupation as a consultant for character Nora Bellinger's cosmetic company, the wife of Dr. Lawrence Bellinger whom is the headmaster of Morgan Hill, Timothy is tempted, persuaded and eventually comes to try out for a role in the schools senior play, 'A Midsummer's Nights Dream'. It quickly becomes apparent that despite Timothy's insecurities and unwillingness to attempt at first, he has an extreme talent in voice for the stage which pleases Ms. Tibbet immensely to the point that she casts him as the fairy and focused character of Puck within the production. Jonathon, who secretly witnessed his audition and whose gaze prompted another musical fantasy, is cast along with several other rugby players which in turn, and seems to be accepting of him, complimenting him on his audition which he heard while waiting for the gym's space to free for rugby practice to begin. Yet, his casting and the casting of other rugby players within the roles of woman upsets the coach who attempts to have the production brought down, not liking the idea that the his boys are having their time taken up by the production instead of the sport and claims that men dressing in woman's clothing is "bad for moral". His complaints are left dismissed though, for even with the support of the headmaster it is Morgan Hill tradition to that academics transcends athletics. Ms. Tibbet states that it is only because they train the boys to cast judgment upon one another that things are viewed that way and that the academy had been staging acting in an all-male fashion for years, holding their ignorance of history against them to gain her victory to keep her cast.
While Timothy's mother is not pleased he has been casted as a fairy since he is socially claimed to be one proverbially, she agrees to make his stage prop wings and does so out of her old wedding dress. Still though, she fails to see why he is queer exactly and believes that it is her fault that he is the way he is, while Timothy simply states he is and has been no matter who he was around or raised by. Ultimately, she misses his father while Timothy does not think about him in the least. Yet she continues to be supportive and open about her son's sexuality, despite it causing her some issue along the way amongst others' opinions that focus on the more religious scale.
Rehearsing for the play perpetually, when provoked about how the text is going for him, he claims that he is trying but does not understand half of it. Ms. Tibbet, continuously understanding, tells him to "unite rhythm with words, and they will unlock to empower you, like 'A Midsummers Night's Dream' come true". Yet, her words push him to action, to a role that he would never believe he could possess and spurred on by the outward harassment by one of the members of the rugby team writing FAGGOT on his locker, his frustration and ire at them spurs him onward to act more in the manner Ms. Tibbet suggests. Upon opening his text at home, prepared to continue to learn his lines, the script illuminates and catches his attention to the section of the play that Puck creates Cupid's Love Juice to infuse within the flower and spray upon the lovers' eyes. Spontaneously, Timothy puts together the ingredients that the Shakespearian word show to him and ultimately through rock, water, flower and the spark of fire, creates the potion to which the text informs him he must then "sing" to the verse when he turns the page for further instruction.
At the end of another musically inclined performance, Timothy holds the power of a purple pansy within his hand that sprouts the concoction from within the stem and into another's eyes to establish and force love upon who their eyes first lay sight upon. Unfortunately, through summoning the power by his voice, he finds out the reality of the situation once he accidentally places the wetness into Max's eyes who ultimately falls in love with him despite his previous relationship with Frankie. Unsure of what he has done, it quickly becomes apparent he is not certain how to undo the deed. Still, what he is capable of doing, instills a rather firm idea within his mind and eventually Timothy turns to utilize it against the entirety of the school as well as the city he lives in.
SAMPLES
LOG:
The night air was crisp, chilled with the fall of spring melding into the months of summer. The only sound that surrounded him was the wind that rushed past his senses and the spin of bike tires along the long stretch of road within the small city that he called home, even though he wished so badly to escape. He was about to change the minds and thoughts of the people in this town of his, the way they perceived sexuality, the way they perceived him. Let them all see the world through his own eyes, how he felt but without the extensive harassment towards his way of life, towards the thoughts of love and passion. Selfish perhaps, but he had his affection, his love for the other who unknowing to Timothy already possessed the affection in turn but now, it was public and it seemed so real despite the actions the flower, the potion allowed him.
It was all he wanted, to change the world and its outlook.
Yet, the desire to break away from his world was perhaps too strong, unwarranted. Even amongst the power that the purple pansy had offered to him, the idea of escape was instilled within him to the point that when he closed his eyes for that single moment, he didn’t second guess the force that seemed to shake his body from an awakened state to an immediate slumber. To the point where his hands loosened upon the handles of the bike, his body and the transport he utilized sent tumbling to the ground below. Yet, when he fell, the pain that would be expected never occurred, he only found himself tensing and awakening once more, forcing himself upright in a bed that was not his own, in a room that did not belong to him.
Stark and clean, Timothy found himself amongst his escape but not necessarily the type he wanted.
JOURNAL:
[The communicator switches on and static meets the viewer for a moment before it levels out and the perspective changes from the ground, fumbling to the face of young man, his gaze leveling to look beyond the device and out to whoever is upon the other side. His brows furrowed slightly, he holds out the communication apparatus further till it remains focused.]
I’ve been around and I’ve figured there’s no way out of this place, is there? [A pause is hand before he continues, reaching a free hand up to rub at the back of his neck.]
I’m sure most of you are in the same situation as I am so I’ll just get this over with. Is there anyone here that has any information that is useful? I doubt anyone would want me pulling them aside randomly in the halls asking this kind of thing.
How do I--[There is some fumbling within the field of vision. But eventually switching off the device with another glance, he’ll be waiting expectantly for any reply.]

To the point where his hands loosened upon the handles of the bike, his body and the transport he utilized sent tumbling to the ground below. Yet, when he fell, the pain that would be expected never occurred, he only found himself tensing and awakening once more, forcing himself upright in a bed that was not his own, in a room that did not belong to him.
Stark and clean, Timothy found himself amongst his escape but not necessarily the type he wanted.
JOURNAL:
[The communicator switches on and static meets the viewer for a moment before it levels out and the perspective changes from the ground, fumbling to the face of young man, his gaze leveling to look beyond the device and out to whoever is upon the other side. His brows furrowed slightly, he holds out the communication apparatus further till it remains focused.]
I’ve been around and I’ve figured there’s no way out of this place, is there? [A pause is hand before he continues, reaching a free hand up to rub at the back of his neck.]
I’m sure most of you are in the same situation as I am so I’ll just get this over with. Is there anyone here that has any information that is useful? I doubt anyone would want me pulling them aside randomly in the halls asking this kind of thing.
How do I--[There is some fumbling within the field of vision. But eventually switching off the device with another glance, he’ll be waiting expectantly for any reply.]
