| '''Sebastian''' is a character from the [[2014]] [[Weezer]] concept album ''[[Everything Will Be Alright in the End]]''. He is the son of [[Joe Laffoley]] and [[Claire]], and the lead musician in a band called [[The Astronauts]]. According to the album's liner notes, he is portrayed by Clyde Field, as well as in the [[Everything Will Be Alright in the End - Teasers|teaser videos]] portrayed by actors [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4373033/ Zach Kanner] (as an adult) and Lucas Martin (as a child). His life and appearance appears to be largely analogous to that of Weezer frontman [[Rivers Cuomo]].

| ==Narrative==
| |
| As a child in 1976, Sebastian dreams of a [https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/File:Weezer_EWBAITE.jpg monster]. He tells his mother of his nightmares and she assuages him: "Go back to sleep, honey. ''Everything will be alright in the end''." On [[November 2]], [[1985]], he leaves home and moves to Los Angeles. In 1986, a bunch of other boys pick on him and throw him into a dumpster. At some point, he forms the band [[The Astronauts]]. Sometime later, possibly around [[1991]], he meets with Electric Records executives [[George Blotkin]] and [[Cleo]], who give him a stack of mysterious books. Blotkin promises that they have "the most powerful and modern tools to guarantee [his] exposure to the greatest number of people." Sometime, possibly around 1994, Sebastian rejects their help, telling them to "enjoy [their] headphones", before taking the books and storming out. At some unknown date, The Astronauts win an award for Album of the Year, which Sebastian dedicates to his late father, [[Joe Laffoley]]. At some date, he becomes romantically involved with [[Bella]], but they later get into a fight. At some point, Sebastian car breaks down or crashes. The Astronauts' presumably sophomore album, titled ''Help Me'', went on to be a critical failure, and features a song titled "My Body Pain".
