you were a rising actress, having starred in many famous movies in the last few years. but you recently had a breakthrough role in a show, playing a character that was, long story short, a psychopath.

sitting on your couch in your nyc apartment and scrolling through tiktok, you didn’t fail to notice the fans had pointed out a comparison between your character and rafe cameron from outer banks. interesting.

of course you knew who he was - how could you not. drew starkey, famous not only for his looks but also his amazing acting.

it took you a while to gather the confidence. maybe it wouldn’t hurt to slide into his dms… but it took way longer to decide how you would do it. do you go all out like ‘hey, i saw our characters are pretty similar, blah, blah, blah’ or keep lowkey with a ‘hi’?

finally, you decided on a simple ‘hey!! i’m a huge fan, and i don’t know if you’ve seen ’changing’ but our characters are like the perfect psycho duo xx’. after a moment of hesitation, you pressed send.
