esteban rantings

idea: he's minnie's apartment neighbor he shows up to help from time to time

he was raised in an abusive household and managed to raise enough money to get him and his little brother away from his parents and now that he's more well off he volunteers at a youth shelter
/s
he's a really swell guy but he's too much of a pushover so he's easy to take advantage of

and people convince him to stand up for himself more but he cant do it

his favorite season is autumn
his biggest pet peeve is when people eat food on crowded buses and subways

he's masking a lot of self-doubt and stress back from his youth that he never really got past and it always manifests more when he's not doing something so he keeps himself busy a lot

he's always trying out new hobbies and only sticks to, like, a small number of them but he gets into salsa dancing at one point and really likes it. the people who are closest to him notice his mood improve after that

which basically includes minnie and esteban's little brother
he's in his mid-20s but everyone thinks of him as the dad friend

he tried going vegetarian once but he couldnt stick with it and beat himself up over it more than was healthy
and of course he absolutely has an instagram page and a vine account

only one of his vines went viral and it was a trust fall vine where he pretended to fall off a building but they did a cut halfway through to replace him with a giant stuffed emoji to use as a body double
he always talks about backpacking in europe but never has both the time and the money to do it
he's like, two feet tall

he probably works a well-paying blue collar job that doesn't require any education, since its a job he had to take to get him and his bro into a better life, and he's saving up to go to college but it's tough cuz he wants to put his little brother through college first. his little brother is struggling to find a job but is really working hard to do it cuz he doesn't want to rely on esteban's good will and make things harder for him
power plant operator, that's a well paying blue collar job

oh he got his nickname from his viral vine where as he trust-fell he shouted "I AM GOD"

wait concept: he really DID fall off the building but minnie cast a spell on him to make him stop falling before he hit the ground
