faceclaim: tyler posey
backup faceclaim: arthur aguiar
style: just because perry wears big black sweaters over black t-shirts that are either too big or too small and jeans and beat-up sneakers all the time does not mean that he is hiding okay.
appearance: of all the things to be said about perry, the most universally agreed on is that he is hotter than hell. boy was built by the gods to make straight girls wish they were men. he's got that beautiful black hair and eyes like tiny onyx crystals that glimmer in the sun and abs...he's too hot, hot damn. but he's also really unaware of the fact that people find him attractive. he's this guy in hoodies, watching dollhouse on his phone and wondering what god crafted enver gjokaj, not a symbol. except he is.

+ neutral: tv obsessed, sensitive
+ neutral: tv obsessed, sensitive
+ negative: ditzy, unthinking, easily distracted, perpetually confused, nonsensical
personality:
perhaps the best trait of perry's is most people's only impression of him - that he's a good friend nice guy. not like a tip-my-fedora-m'lady white knight nice guy - he's a guy who is nice and that's all. he'll turn his cheek to the people who call him terrible things and never hesitates to help out in situations where he can. have a giant box of printouts that is way too heavy for you? here, he'd be more than happy to take half. he doesn't have tons of very close friends - his sister kat and marnie are the only ones he's super close to - but once you are perry's friend, he's going to stick with you for life. he's there for marathons (of the tv variety thanks) and breakups and he'll infect you with positivity. seriously, if you're feeling down step slightly closer to perry's direction and you'll already be happy again. he looks on the bright side of things even when there really isn't a bright side to look on.
but everyone has hidden depths, and perry's are...weird. he knows pretty much everything there is to know about television shows that got cancelled way too early - ask him about dollhouse, firefly and almost human and hell respond with an essay about how john and dorian totally would've ed if there had been a second season. he watches tv all the time - you see him in the cafeteria with his hood up and headphones in, there's a 9 in 10 chance he's watching tv on his phone. the av club is his bible and his priests are netflix and hulu. he has no clue what he wants to do in the future, but he wants to make enough money to have an hbo go pass of his own. he cries at a lot of things - bad grades on tests, marnie's plans for the future - but honestly he cries about tv the most. but there ain't nothing wrong with that. perry's in tune with his emotions, which is awesome sometimes (if he's angry he's going to remove himself from the situation) and a curse other times (he cries a lot, okay).
and i mean he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. his grades have ranged from high cs to low bs just about all his life, with the occasional summer-school-aided d on his transcript. if it isn't televison,perry doesn't know much about it. perry lives on a different plane of existence from everyone else, a world where enver gjokaj rules the stoop and television is our lord and savior and mixed-up references are a normal form of conversation. thinking before he speaks doesn't really register in perry's mind, resulting in enough freudian slips and accidental innuendos to choke a horse(?), though he'll apologize profusely if he offends anyone. he tends to change topics mid-sentence because he's always remembering various things, and thanks to the fact that his mind is in a constant cycle of forget-this-remember-this-from-like-a-week-ago, perry is never not confused.

background:
perry was born in march with a twin sister who's an hour younger, kat, in modesto, california. he's never left except on vacation to mexico with his mom and plans on going to a community college that's close by. he met his best, best friend in the whole wide world, the awkward but ridiculously physically strong marnie shimazaki, in middle school - she's also the first person he came out to, when they both were 11. his parents and sister came soon afterwards and by then pretty much everyone knew exactly how gay perry is. his life has been a cycle of tv marathons, parties, and sleep up to this point.

#theinterview
you got invited to the 'biggest party of the year', how do you react?
+ ...parties. yeah. i like those. i've been to a few in my time...but this was the first one where marnie was invited too. she usually doesn't. get invited to parties, i mean. so that was weird. but she did, so it was definite for me. i probably would've just marathoned agent carter with her if she hadn't been.
thoughts on maxine pryse? *coughs*
+ hosts good parties, that one. no, uh, i don't know her too well. but she must be at least semi-chill if she invited marnie along too.
did you know her dad's the mayor??
+ ...oh. oh! oh, that makes sense. her house is the size of...what's the really big state? texas? yeah, her house is the size of texas or something. or russia. that's the other really big one, right?
were you even relatively interested in the random glowy thing in the yard?
+ so i was kind of buzzed, but i've been waiting for proof of aliens my whole life, amigo. this comes and it's proof to marnie that they exist! shun the nonbelievers!
would you let an alien live in your house?
+ my mom would kill me and kat would make fun of me for three thousand years but totally. for sure.
do you find aliens to be cool?
+ depends on the species. vulcans are cool, kree are cool, skrulls are cool...sometimes...depends on the skrull. but chris is cool, chris is cooler than anyone except kat and marnie, who he's on par with.
can you please tell me why the aliens are so... hot?
+ HA! HA HA, HA HA. UH, I'VE NEVER... I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT CHRIS THAT WAY HONESTLY? and it's not like i'm checking out my other friend's aliens or anything...chris...chris is not. i mean he is but...it's...i'm not looking! we're just bros okay.
ok but seriously lmao would you bang or nah??
+ ...ha ha ha ha ha. what a funny question. what a - what a good time we're having here. next.
(he so would)
(he so would)
got any plans for the future?
+ community college is where the magic happens. i'm gonna take a bunch of classes. get a job and stuff. y'know. probably stay in modesto forever till i win the lottery, in which case i'm moving to...somewhere that's furiously not modesto. like maybe
what is your life like right now?
+ wake up. eat breakfast. brush teeth. wear clothes. go to school. watch some tv. while i'm at school. talk sci-fi with marnie. go home. sleep. repeat.
what knowledge of earth would you offer to your alien comrade?
+ i'mma teach him how to be awesome. too general? fine, fine...i'm going to teach him pop culture. there's nothing in life you can't learn from watching tv and he knows like nothing. he doesn't get my references to firefly or alien and he's never even heard of doll house, which, what? so i'mma teach him how to tv.
