Only Mostly Devastated

by Sophie Gonzales

Note to self: carry bass around everywhere and break into impromptu solo whenever anyone tries to force you into conversation. Foolproof.

This line was a reference to not only Grease, but all movie-musicals, where everyone seems to inexplicably break out into song, complete with choreography and instrumentals, at the drop of a hat! Ollie’s particular sense of humour was interesting as his voice came through in the first draft, because I quickly noticed he was the type of character who would describe ridiculous imaginary scenarios to get his point across. Ollie 100% goes through life processing his emotions through little animations he’s creating in his head. He would make a wonderful comic-book artist, had he ever shown a penchant for drawing. Maybe one day he’ll discover he has the knack!
