Matching Halloween costumes with Skz :Maknae line 🤭

Warnings:fluffy, gn!reader(if i make boo boos I'm sorry:(((), if this is poo...also sorry it's 1am 😭😭

☺️enjoy

Han Jisung:

Here's the backstory, you and jisung have known and been best friends for YEARS...I'm talking preschool days. So...matching costumes have been a longstanding tradition between the two of you, your first matching costumes being bumblebees (you two indeed went around "stinging" people and buzzing). Since you and Jisung were now dating and have been for the past two years(which you somehow hid from almost everyone) it meant the costumes meant even more. The costumes were great, a full bee suit(minus the face,) it was black and yellowed striped of course, with a plastic stinger on the butt, white wings on the back and to top it off little antenna headbands 🥹. Evert year was something new, one of you picking costumes or deciding on a costume together . Which lead to this...

Jisung loves anime-demon slayer, Naruto, one piece, my hero academia-you name it and he's seen it. You on the other hand were not the biggest fan, and naturally he'd wanted to dress as anime characters. He'd been scrolling the internet looking for perfect costumes , and when I say scrolling I mean, looking at all the websites he could , checking amazon, Etsy, costume stores, THE WHOLE 9 YARDS.

"Sungie, do we really have to be anime characters this year?" You had whined to him for what seemed like the 100th time. "Yah, buggie of course we do! Come ooonnn , I'll find us the cutest costumes , please please please. Pleassseee for your sungieeeee pleaaasseeee." Jisung had pouted, jutting his lower lip out and batting his big eyes at you, as he laid across your lap. "Aissshhh, sungie I don't even know who these characters are," you'd protested back and you pinched his cheeks." B-but it's special for meeeee AND you picked our costumes last year, buggie!" Indeed, you did:deciding to dress up as Mario and princess peach , because you were his princess and he was always there to save you-just like Mario. Anywaysss, y/n sighed in defeat as you knew they knew Jisung would win this battle "yah you better find us really cute costumes then,hm?" They'd playfully argued, with a gentle boop to his nose. At which, Jisung giggled and clapped his hands, his endearing heart shaped smile coming into full view,"waahhh of course. Only the cutest for my baby, my princess, my buggie, my pookie wookie," he'd pulled his phone out which (unsurprisingly) had about 10 different anime couple costumes loaded.

Jisung pouted and held his phone out to you," buggie boo, who should we be? Bulma and goku.....or.....maki and okkutso yuta...shinji and rei!?" He'd peered up at you, a pout still adorning his face. " sungie...I love you but I don't know who any of those characters are, bubba. As long as you're happy ,I'm happy." You'd admonished, looking down at the puffy cheeked boy in your lap. "Mmmm....maki and okkutso it is!" He giggled , placing the order for your costumes on his phone.

Lee Felix:

This would be your first Halloween with felix, having only been dating for 6 months. So, you knew you'd wanted costumes to be special. You both wanted something cute, that would fit with your personalities, yet also be silly. It'd taken a little convincing to get him to agree. You'd argued the costumes would match your personalities amazing yet also suit your relationship. The costumes being anger and joy from Inside Out-felix being joy and y/n being anger.

Felix being joy just made sense- he's a walking ball of sunshine 🥹 spreading happiness and warmth wherever he goes. Y/n on the other hand, a little hot headed, and has a temper, that can only be calmed by a certain Aussie. So, there you two were , Halloween night, in your cute little costumes, hosting your party.

Felix felt adorable, even though he won't admit it. Grabbing your hand, he pulled you to the photo station , insisting you had pictures taken. Him wearing his yellow shirt with blue flowers, yellow pants to match, standing next to the love of his life, you. "Aaahhh smile baby! My little anger ball." He'd teased as you posed looking mad. So you did exactly that, how could you not be happy when you had a ball of sunshine standing next to you?" Bobokie, say cheese, sunshine!" *click* "what pose should we do next ?" He'd asked you , trying to think something up before the camera clicked again. "Hm....how about something silly, sunshine," y/n had pondered at her boyfriend, arm hugging his midsection. If silly was what y/n wanted, that's what they'd get. So...Felix crossed his eyes , putting his hands up by his head as to look like rays of light while y/n pouted, cheeks puffed out, eyebrows furrowed and arms crossed over their chest...then *click

The couple had one picture left to take....and y/n had been thinking about what pose they should do, completely not hearing what Felix had been saying. "Y/n? Baby, do you have an idea? The photographer is getting the camera ready." He looked down at y/n, arm around their shoulder, eyes filled with love. Y/n looked up at Felix, suddenly snapped out of their thoughts. "Oh, sorry baby! Just was thinking of a pose," they'd mumbled out to him, sheepishly blushing for zoning out. Felix had never felt so in love, all he could do was lovingly cradle his lovers cheek, leaning in to press a kiss to their forehead and let out a low laugh."it's okay my love." He'd whisper against their forehead before resting his forehead against theirs. So engrossed in their moment, neither Felix nor y/n heard the soft click of the camera, the photographer deciding to capture that moment, the two of them looking into each others eyes so full of love, foreheads resting on one another's, as Felix hand cradled their cheek, soft love filled smiles on both of their faces ...it was picture perfect

Kim seungmin:

If Seungmin was anything it was a menace. So, when he got a partner, the menace level was doubled. You see, some couple go for cheesy costumes like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, some do cute like Cinderella and Prince Charming. But , you and Seungmin? No...you went the menace route. You both deciding to be Tiffany and Chucky.

You two were dedicated! Y/n bought special effects makeup, wigs and everything else needed to perfect the look. The night of the Halloween party would be interesting...but getting ready would be worse...

They both had their outfits on, y/n fully done up. They already had the wig on , makeup-thinly drawn on eyebrows, black lipstick and dark eyeshadow- and contacts in. On the other hand ...Seungmin only had his outfit ,wig and contacts on-that was easy."Yah! Seungminnie...stay still! I need to do the fake scars!" They'd whined , straddling their boyfriend, trying to apply the cosmetic scar decals to his face. "It's cold," Seungmin would protest, trying to push their hands away. "Yah! Just stay still, all I need to do is put the scars on , add the little bit of redness and add the staples. It's not going to take long!" They'd argue back, not budging from the lap of their fidgeting boyfriend. "Waahhhhh noooo. This is enough!" Seungmin would whine, shaking his head," yah! Kim seungmin! This was your idea! Stay still...or no kisses!" That was his breaking point ....no kisses? That was going too far . " okay okay...fine. I'll stay still but ...you owe me 10 kisses for threatening to take them away from me." He'd deadpanned. "Yeah yeah yeah, now let me finish."

Yang Jeongin:

Jeongin was new to relationships...but if there was one thing he wasn't new to...it was being a fashion icon. That meant whatever costumes you wore... had to be fashionable, at least fashionable enough for him. That's what lead you to the costume store...

"Yah...they all look...cheap!" Jeongin exclaimed, as you had been walking down the aisle of costumes. "Innie....they're not exactly supposed to look super expensive...you wear them once." Y/n had conceded, running their spare hand along his arm. "Yeah but still....the material is so....cheap...and the costumes are expensive!" He'd rebutted , gliding his hand along a clown costume. "Ssshhhh, innie it's okayyyyyyy." They whined , letting go of his hand briefly , only to wrap both arms around his midsection. "This looks cute , hm?" Y/n suggested , pointing to a bar or and Ken costume.

"It's cute....and still fashionable innie?" They smiled up at him as he pulled the costumes from the shelf. "Yeah...I think we'd pull them off...should we try them on?" Jeongin wondered, resting his cheek on the top of their head, feeling the movement of them nodding. Off to the fitting rooms they went...pulling the articles of clothing out of the bags. Y/n slipped into the pink vest and flared pants, accompanied by stars on the back pockets with a silver sparkly cowboy hat. Doing a once over in the mirror, they smiled and peeked their head out of the door..."innie...you ready?"

"I'm ready!" They'd heard him say, before hearing the door to his fitting room open. "Wwwaahhh so handsome!!!" Y/n exclaimed , clapping their hands, looking at jeongin. "Does it look okay?y/nnie?" He shyly asked, Reaching out to hold their hand. "You look amazing, my fashionista," y/n cooed, leaning up to kiss his cheek. "How do I look? Do I make a cute barbie?" They giggled and spun around , still holding his hands. Suddenly, Jeongin had pulled y/n to him, squishing their cheeks together. "Yyaahhh, you make a perfect barbie. You'd make a perfect anything. My baby, my y/nnie!" He'd giggled and pressed kisses to your face. Giggling, y/n leaned back and nodded." Okay so...barbie and Ken it is! Now , let's change and buy these so we can go eat! I'm craving cheese tteokbeokki!" Nodding his head, Jeongin let them go, and back into his fitting room he went...he never thought he'd be into matching costumes...but with his y/nnie..Jeongin was down to do anything

~~hi besties! This is part 2 of matching costumes with Skz! I hope you enjoyed it!🩷🩷

Fifteen Days of Disney Magic - Number 10

Welcome to Fifteen Days of Disney Magic! In honor of the company’s 100th Anniversary, I am counting down my Top 15 Favorite Movies from Walt Disney Animation Studios! We’ve reached the Top 10! Today’s entry truly never gets old. Number 10 is…Peter Pan.

Okay, let’s get the elephant out of the room immediately…no, some parts of this film (I think a lot of you will know which ones) have NOT aged well. It was made primarily for children in the 1950s, with development reaching as far back as the late 1930s, and certain elements are clearly a product of their time. I acknowledge this, and how it was as wrong then as it is wrong now. I concede it’s an issue for at least some (if not, indeed, many) modern audiences. If those elements or any others bother you for any reason – and I imagine they probably bother a LOT of people – I won’t pretend like you don’t have justifiable grounds for disliking the film as a result. With that said…I freaking love this movie, despite those issues, and that is the hill I choose to die on.

While I don’t know if Disney’s Peter Pan is the BEST interpretation of J.M. Barrie’s classic fantasy adventure, it’s certainly one of my top three favorites. (The other two are the 2003 film, and the musical that originally starred Mary Martin…also, no, I’m NOT counting “Hook" there, because “Hook” is a sequel, not a direct adaptation or reimagining.) When I think of the character of Peter Pan himself, it’s Disney’s version that most immediately comes to mind. The same can be said for many of the other characters, such as Smee, the Darling Children, and Tinker Bell…in fact, I think the only exceptions to this rule are Captain Hook himself (and he’s certainly not a version I dislike; easily in my top three takes on the character, as well as one of my Top 5 Disney Villains of all time), the Mermaids (who have so little to do with anything it hardly matters), and the Native American characters, who...I'm not going to touch here with a ten foot pole. 'XD I think it’s my passion for the story itself, and the fact the film introduced me to it, that helps make this such a major favorite for me. It also has the advantage that, like “Fun and Fancy Free” and “The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad,” it was one of the first Disney movies I ever owned, and I watched it over and over again. In fact, I think I saw it perhaps more than any of the others I had on VHS. Something about Peter Pan just spoke to me as a kid, and still speaks to me as an adult. I loved its sense of cartoonish comedy, I loved its spirit of swashbuckling action and adventure, and I loved how it had this sort of strange edge of something unsettling under its colorful exterior. Hook is a funny villain in a lot of ways, but he’s also a murderous psychopath who’ll kill and betray you at the drop of a hat. Peter is, in some ways, who we all wish we could be, but he’s also brash, cocky, and not exactly the most likeable protagonist…and then he’ll turn right around and do or say something that makes you like him all over again. While one could say the film really only covers the superficial elements of Barrie’s darker and more psychological story, it does brush on those deeper layers in some interesting ways, and still makes the ride enjoyable all the way through. This is possibly one of the single most merchandised and frequently referred to films in the entire Disney canon. There’s a preschoolers-aimed TV show, a whole spin-off franchise about the fairies, books, plays, a sequel film that was actually brought to theaters (and, in my opinion, while flawed it is actually not really bad; rare for Disney sequels), and numerous appearances by the characters in various other properties and attractions. It’s one of those stories and worlds that seems impossible to mine dry, and I think that also may be part of why it appeals to me. I was actually fully primed and ready to place this one in 8th place, at the top of the heap of the four films in the stretch between 11th and 8th...but after revisiting it, I found it lacked some of the punch the two films above it had. But hey, Top 10 isn't too bad, right? The countdown continues tomorrow with my 9th Favorite Disney Movie! HINT: If You Were Hoping It Would Be Here, Wish Granted!

100th Post!

To celebrate my 100th post, I decided to share 100 things about me you may not know. So, here we go!

1. I am a big fan of the Super Mario franchise. Specifically, the original series on NES. I didn’t really enjoy Super Mario Bros, but I adore Super Mario 2 and Super Mario 3, and I’ve beaten both. I own an NES and play regularly.

2. When I was a little kid, red was my favorite color. Every day of preschool, I would show up pretending to be a different red animal. Red bird was my favorite, and the one I returned to most frequently.

3. I’ve collected Pokémon cards since I was really young and throughout my childhood. I have a binder full of them somewhere in my parent’s house.

4. Though I am now a proud Slytherin, when I was a kid, I was sure I was a Gryffindor. As an adult, for a while I thought I was a Hufflepuff. But then one day I realized that I am absolutely a Slytherin and I haven’t looked back. (And yes, I’ve taken the test numerous times.) I think I was always a Slytherin but wasn’t ready to accept it.

5. My face is a perfect blend of my parents. If you look at pictures of my mom and dad as little kids, you can see me in both of them. Honestly, it’s a pretty fifty/fifty split. The top half of my face is my dad, the bottom half is my mom. The funniest part is it splits right at the nose. From head on, I have my dad’s nose. But if I look up, the bottom of my nose is my mom’s!

6. I’ve always loved chocolate with a passion, ever since I was little. But now that I’m older, I’m slowly starting to move away from that particular craving. I have very mixed feelings about this.

7. My favorite animals are giraffes, elephants, and foxes, in that order.

8. My favorite colors are teal, mint, hot pink, black, and turquoise, in that order.

9. My favorite flowers are roses, specifically red roses, because my middle name is Rose. Despite it being a pretty common middle name, I’ve always felt a special connection to the flower.

10. I have ten tattoos and I plan on getting more. This surprises a lot of people, because only one is visible all the time (it’s on my wrist). In the summer, the four on my lower legs and the one on my shoulder blade are visable too. I also have two on my hips, and two on my ribcage, but not many people get to see those. 😘 (ETA: I now only have one, very large tattoo on my ribcage, as I got one covered up and replaced it with flowers, thereby making it part of the first tattoo. I also have a thigh-piece. So, still ten.)

11. I had my first tattoo redone. It was originally just a black and grey rose. A rose because of my middle name, but black and grey because I didn’t want to do the cliché red rose that everyone gets. But I was in an abusive relationship when I got it, and he was the first one to see it. Five years later, since I’m trying to heal and move on from that time in my life, I decided to change it. The original black and grey rose is now completely black, and it represents my past. I also added two more roses: a white rose to represent my future, and a red rose in bloom to represent who I am and who I’m becoming in the present. I feel that this tattoo is a much better reflection of who I am now, and I no longer have any black and grey tattoos (not including the various handwriting tattoos).

12. When I was a kid, I lost one of my teeth biting into a bologna sandwich.

13. My lucky number is three.

14. I have two best friends. One of them I’ve known since eighth grade, and the other one I met during my semester abroad in Italy. She took care of me when I got shit-faced even though we barely knew each other and I’ve loved her ever since.

15. My parents separated when I was twenty. They were planning on getting divorced after my brother and I finished college. It was overall amicable, and the four of us would still get together and hang out as a family. Welp, five years went by and they still hadn’t legally divorced. Turns out they had fallen back in love with each other at some point and decided to stay married after all. I can honestly say I have never seen my parents so in love, and I genuinely believe they are happier now than they ever were before the separation. Fucking Romeo and Juliet over here.

16. My sun sign is Sagittarius, my moon sign is Cancer, and my rising sign is Aries. (And if you care, my Venus and Mercury are Scorpio, and my Mars is in Sagittarius.) Make of that what you will.

17. I came out as bisexual when I was 16. I came out as gender-fluid/nonbinary when I was 24.

18. I have had eight serious relationships in my life. I am still friends with two of my exes.

19. I have been in love more times than I can count. Most of them ended in heart break, but they were all beautiful and meaningful in their own ways.

20. I lost my virginity to my high school sweetheart. It was probably the most magical experience I’ve ever had. I know, I’m lucky.

21. Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli is my favorite painting. I had the opportunity to see it in person at the Uffizi Museum on my last day in Italy. I stood in front of the painting and cried for like twenty minutes. It’s also way bigger than you think, close to ten feet long. I have a print of it hanging in my bedroom. (The print is a normal size.)

22. I am incredibly skilled at reading people. This might sound like me just complimenting myself, but I promise, it’s true. People assume that loud = oblivious, but that is certainly not always the case. Just because I’m loud doesn’t mean I say everything I’m thinking about, or that I’m not paying attention to my surroundings. I notice every eye movement, every twitch, every breath, everything. Ask my friends, they’ll tell you I’m a mind-reader.

23. I have one younger brother. When we were kids we didn’t always get along, but now we’re very close. I don’t see him as much as I’d like, but I cherish every moment I get to be with him. He’s a very special man, and he deserves only the best.

24. I have Borderline Personality Disorder, Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Anxiety, Body Dysmorphia, and mild Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I’ve also struggled with Bulimia. I am a fucking walking DSM. (ETA: I was recently diagnosed with SAD and re-diagnosed with ADHD and Bipolar as well. Woo-hoo.)

25. I still have the baby blanket my maternal grandmother made me. I plan on being buried with it.

26. I’m Jewish. I wear a necklace, which my maternal grandmother gave me, of my Hebrew name, Shamona, almost every single day.

27. I’ve been boy crazy since I was three years old. Yes, you read that correctly. As you can imagine, realizing I liked girls was very confusing for me.

28. I started singing when I was four years old. And I don’t mean singing like “oh that’s so cute,” I mean like actually singing. I’m not saying I sounded like an adult or anything, but it was definitely apparent from that age that I was going to have a strong singing voice. (My mother, who is also a singer, has confirmed this.)

29. If I had to choose between makeup and jewelry, I’d choose makeup. I feel absolutely naked without it. (ETA: I’m not sure about this one anymore!)

30. I have terrible insomnia. More than half of these blog posts were written at like 2 or 3 AM.

31. Sometimes I get what I call “vibes.” Essentially, I’ll just get a weird feeling, like “I have to do this thing right now,” or, “I absolutely can’t do this thing,” and I’m not always sure why, but I just know I’m right. It could be as quickly as seconds later that something will happen (or not happen) that confirms my “vibe.” Turns out, my maternal grandmother had the same thing. Go figure.

32. I am afraid of the dark. Make fun of me if you must, but everyone’s afraid of something. Oddly enough, I’m only afraid of darkness inside, not outside. In fact, I love going out at night. But if I’m inside during a power outage, man do I freak out.

33. My lung collapsed from a severe asthma attack when I was four years old. I had to be hospitalized.

34. I love corvettes. My dream fleet would be a C6, a C3, and a C2. Gotta be honest, not a huge fan of the C7. But let’s see what the C8 brings. (ETA: The C8 is literal garbage. I’d much rather have a C7.)

35. I’m allergic to all nuts except peanuts, hazelnuts, and almonds. I’m also allergic to eggplants, AND scallops. This is, of course, in addition to all the animals I’m allergic to. Yay.

36. I have cheated on someone, been cheated on, and been the one the cheater cheated with. I’ve occupied all three positions. Not my proudest factoid, but there you go.

37. I am a complete steamroller. It’s something I need to work on. I swear, most of the time I don’t even realize I’m doing it. I’m trying to become more self-aware so, at the very least, I can stop myself in the middle. Being a steamroller has negative connotations (for good reason), but recently, one of my friends said, “We wouldn’t have roads if it wasn’t for steamrollers,” and that made me smile.

38. I prefer stripes to spots. Usually horizontal stripes, but vertical and diagonal stripes are dope, too.

39. My earliest childhood memory is throwing a tantrum over a toy that my mom threw out because it fell in the toilet. It was a tiny trumpet. I think I was two.

40. My favorite Disney princess is Belle, closely followed by Mulan. But the one I relate to the most is Megara, hence the profile picture on my blog. Yes, I know Mulan and Megara aren’t technically Disney princesses. But have you considered this? Shut up. (ETA: Megara was my old profile picture. Now it’s Rose Quartz from Steven Universe.)

41. My mom is a ~fantastic~ painter, and I currently have three of her works hanging in my apartment. (One acrylic, one oil, one colored pencil.) My paternal grandmother is also a wonderful artist, she does a lot of different stuff. I have one of her paintings hanging in my apartment as well.

42. I don’t really have a taste in music. I just sort of like stuff. P!nk is my favorite artist, but I also enjoy Taylor Swift, Metallica, The Indigo Girls, Queen, Alanis Morissette, Kesha, and a lot of other artists. I also enjoy certain show tunes. It all depends on what kind of mood I’m in.

43. I hate sharing my feelings. Feelings are gross. I absolutely refuse to be mushy or affectionate unless I’m REALLY comfortable with you, and that shit takes a long time.

44. I’ve always loved vegetables, even when I was a little kid. Zucchini was, and still is, my favorite.

45. I was a really artsy kid. I loved drawing and painting and sculpting and honestly just everything. I’m a little sad I don’t do that anymore. Maybe one day I’ll get a potter’s wheel.

46. I used to be able to do a split, but I pulled my groin quite badly when I was eighteen. Haven’t been able to do one since.

47. There are currently two people in my life who I would say know me like the backs of their hands. I’ve known each of them for over ten years. They know what I’m going to say before I say it. They understand my soul in a way I can’t put into words. They constantly take me by surprise with the comments they make to or about me. I’ve never felt so seen or understood in my entire life. It’s a weird feeling, but I can’t deny it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside, which is why I let them get away with annoying me. (ETA: one of these two people is my ex, “Kevin.” He’s obviously not in my life anymore, and while he still definitely knows me better than most, certain events have made me realize he doesn’t know me as well as I had originally thought.)

48. I used to speak Spanish fluently, but then I went to college and I lost almost all of it. I’m currently relearning it, and a lot of it’s coming back to me. I love Spanish. I love language in general. I used to know some Italian too (because I lived in Italy), but sadly, that’s all gone now. (ETA: I’m also learning French!)

49. I own hard at Boggle. Only three people have ever been able to beat me. An ex of mine (he only beat me like three times), my SAT tutor (duh), and my father. If you want to know why I own hard at Boggle, it’s because my father started playing with me when I was five years old. He was merciless. I’d get like three points and he’d be like, “FIFTY.” I hated it. I would cry and tell him he was being unfair. But he would always say, “Sophie, you’re going up, and I’m going down. And one day, you’re going to be able to beat me.” And then one day, I did beat him. I think I was maybe twenty-one. It was a very proud moment for me. Now, I’d say I beat him one out of every three times we play. Unfortunately, I definitely picked up on (or inherited) my dad’s competitive nature. So no one ever wants to play me! 😂

50. I used to make lanyards. But like, a lot of them. I knew box stitch and barrel stitch, but I could also do doubles, triples, and even quadruples of both. I also knew cobra stitch and triangle stitch. I loved to make lanyards for people with colors that I felt matched their personalities. Now that I’m thinking about it, maybe I’m gonna go buy some lanyard...

51. I have dyed my hair every remotely natural looking color under the sun. I’m currently settling back into my natural hair color. It’s very exciting.

52. I still need to hold my nose when I jump into a pool. But I can swim perfectly fine without holding my nose.

53. I am almost certainly lactose intolerant, but I’ll never give up dairy. Never!

54. I prefer silver over gold. Gold is nice, but I just think silver is prettier.

55. Despite being an excellent, bold flirt with men, I can’t flirt with women for my life. Men are easy. I always know when a guy is interested in me, and I’m never shy about letting a guy know I’m interested in him. Women are terrifying, they scare the absolute shit out me. You literally have to like, wave in my face and tell me you like me, because otherwise I’m gonna be too scared to make a move. And to be frank, even then I’ll probably be too scared to make a move.

56. I started drinking coffee freshman year of college. Not because I liked it. In fact, I hated coffee. But I forced myself to drink it to stay awake in class and be able to focus on assignments. I started with like 4 sugars and 3 creams, and slowly weaned myself off. Now I only take a little bit of milk and no sugar. But I probably drink too much coffee.

57. I never learned how to ride a bike as a kid. I tried a few times, but it was too scary. I was never a very athletic child. Now I’m trying to learn as an adult. My mom is teaching me. I think I’m getting pretty good.

58. I played on my elementary school’s basketball team. I was by no means the best on the team, but still pretty good for a ten year old. We even won the district championship.

59. I have a bartending license. Even though I’m not currently working as a bartender, I thoroughly enjoy mixology. I keep a fully stocked bar in my apartment, and I’m always happy to make drinks for family and friends. I do my best work when you let me surprise you.

60. My mom and I do the New York Times crosswords together every weekend. It’s fun to do it with her, and we can combine our various trivia knowledge to do them pretty quickly. Sometimes my dad helps, too.

61. I enjoy puzzles, especially 3-D puzzles. When I finish them, I glue them together and put them on display.

62. I couldn’t give a shit what people think about me. I know who I am. I’ll forget you in five minutes. But if you hurt my friends, you want to be far away from me. Words cannot describe the rage that courses through my veins when the people I love are in pain. Say whatever you want to me, but once my friends become the target, you’re in deep trouble.

63. Forgive and forget is garbage. I don’t forgive or forget. I can hold a grudge for years. But the moment I get a sincere apology, I’m like, “Oh, okay, we’re cool,” and I completely move on from it.

64. I own six gaming consoles: Xbox 1, Playstation 3, NES, Gamecube, Wii, and Xbox 360. I only have four hooked up at my apartment though. I also have the Game Genie, which was the original cheat code device. You shove the NES cartridge onto it, and then you shove the genie into the console so the game cartridge hangs out. Before you start whatever game you’re playing, you have the option to punch in up to three cheat codes. It comes with a pamphlet full of them. That Game Genie is one of the greatest gifts my grandmother ever gave me.

65. After taking a DNA test, I have discovered that I am 100% Eastern European Jewish, whatever that means. I was hoping to have more worldly DNA.

66. A friend of mine in high school once told me I have the most red aura she’d ever seen. I’m not totally sure what that means, but I think it’s a good thing.

67. I’m a bit rusty, but I do know how to read tarot cards. My interest has been re-ignited, and I’m excited to start practicing again. (ETA: I am no longer rusty. I am extremely confident in my tarot ability, and read all the time now.)

68. I enjoy playing chess. I think I’m pretty skilled. Not amazing or anything, but a solid player. I beat my dad once in a “smothered mate.” It was one of my proudest achievements. (Haven’t beaten him since.)

69. I didn’t drink until I was seventeen. I went to the city with my best friend at the time (who had already started drinking, so she was seasoned) and chugged straight from a bottle of Stoli raspberry vodka. It was disgusting. But after that I didn’t really drink again until college.

70. When I was in eighth grade, I auditioned for the school play, which was Into the Woods (Jr, because middle school). I really only auditioned because it was a musical and I loved singing. But I ended up getting cast as the Baker’s Wife, who is essentially the lead in the “junior” version of the play. Playing the Baker’s Wife is what made me fall in love with acting.

71. I’ve loved New York City my entire life. I knew I wanted to live there as early as six years old.

72. I have thirteen piercings, ten of which are in my ears. (ETA: Sadly, two of the ones in my ears have closed up.)

73. My favorite television shows are Bob’s Burgers, SNL, Empire, How to Get Away with Murder, Bojack Horseman, Big Mouth, Bones, and Preacher. (ETA: Some of these have changed. They usually do as more shows get created and released.)

74. Despite the number of relationships I’ve been in, some of them were pretty long. My two longest relationships both lasted about three years. People are surprised when I say I’m a serial monogamist, because of how many partners I’ve had. But I really am. I’m usually not single for very long, and when I fall for someone, I fall hard and fast. I’m taking this time to fall more in love with myself.

75. My first Halloween, I went as a red toothbrush. Red because it was my favorite color. But for the life of me, I couldn’t tell you why a toothbrush. I begged my mom to make me a toothbrush costume. She did, bless her. I was so excited. I think I was four. I’ve always been a strange one.

76. My senior year of high school, I decided to do my own spin on Frida Kahlo’s The Wounded Deer for my final project in AP Spanish. I painted it myself and put my own face as the deer’s. My AP Spanish teacher still has it in his classroom.

77. I only like sour cream and onion chips. Fight me.

78. People are always surprised by my ethnicity. I’m not sure why. The most common guesses are Irish, Italian, and, somehow, Puerto Rican.

79. Even though it took me a while to figure it out, I’ve always been pretty gay. Looking back, I think the first crush I had on a girl was a friend of mine in kindergarten. I thought she was so pretty, and always wanted her to play with me. I definitely also had a crush on a different friend when I was in fourth grade, as well as a pretty red-headed counselor I had at summer camp. I just didn’t realize they were crushes at the time, or that you could like girls and boys.

80. Some of my favorite memories of my childhood were when my family would go to the beach. More specifically, when my father would bury my brother and me in the sand up to our necks and pretend our heads were golf balls. My mom would always get worked up and claim that it upset us, but my brother and I loved it. We were cracking up the whole time.

81. I love making things with my hands. I collect Harry Potter Legos, including the miniature model of the entire Hogwarts Castle, which took me about a month to complete. I put together the cabinet and shelves in my bathroom. I also used to make ceramics, though I haven’t had access to a potters’ wheel in a long time. Right now, I’m focused on more crafty things. I’m in the process of making a scrapbook of family photos. And of course, I’ve been making some Potterverse related stuff. Mostly wands for the time being, but I plan on making some Quidditch themed decorations for a party later next year. Bottom line, there’s nothing like the feeling of satisfaction you get after finishing a project you’ve made yourself. (ETA: I now also have the Diagon Alley lego set.)

82. When I was nine years old, a friend of mine at the time convinced me to start cursing because it was “cool.” So I did. And even though I got in big trouble when my mom found out, I was never quite able to stop. I drop f-bombs in practically every sentence, which you probably know if you follow my blog. Though, I do try to tone it down on here.

83. I have a list with the names of all the people I’ve ever been with. I don’t want to not be able to remember the names of those people when I’m older, so I started writing them down. They’re in order, too. Yes, I’m weirdly proud of it. The list I mean, not the people on it. Actually there’s a lot of people I’m definitely not proud of having on that list. Oh well.

84. I can actually cook! I don't do it as often as I should, but I do enjoy it. I’m also masterful when it comes to using spices. I almost never look at a recipe, I just add however much of a spice I think the dish needs. Of course, I’m usually cooking for myself, so I’m sure there are people out there who would not agree with my spice uses. Though I have yet to hear any complaints about how much garlic I use, which is usually double or triple of whatever the recipe calls for. But I mean, come on, it’s garlic. (ETA: I do Blue Apron now so I cook almost every day. Thus far, I have never gotten a negative review when I cook for other people.)

85. I didn’t speak until I was two and a half years old. I said one word when I was one. We were outside one day when I pointed up at the sky and said, “light!” But before and after that, I didn’t say a single peep. It got to the point where the doctor told my parents if I didn’t start speaking in a few weeks, they’d have to take me to see a specialist. Well, about a week after that, my mom was changing my diaper when I randomly said, “Mommy! Daddy! Fophie!” She flipped out, she was so ecstatic. I started speaking in full sentences only a few weeks later. And I haven’t been able to shut up since!

86. When I was in high school, I basically had two styles: super femme and punky goth. The super femme was pretty much tight fitting clothes, like skinny jeans and tank tops, and hot pink, felt high heels that I wore obsessively. The punky goth consisted of dark or patterned jeans, Hot Topic flannels, t-shirts with skulls and other “goth” imagery, and Tripp pants. I owned eight different pairs of Tripp pants. You read that correctly. I also dyed sections of my hair black my sophomore year. I looked like a reverse skunk (natural blonde). Honestly, I fucking loved it. I was super disappointed I had to get rid of it for a role. My favorite top was a green t-shirt with zombie bees on it that said “Zombees.” I got it at some hole in the wall store in Cape Cod. It’s my life’s mission to find that shirt again.

87. I have never liked sprinkles. I think they’re stupid and pointless, and they taste like nothing.

88. When I was sixteen, I decided I wanted to adopt a child one day. I plan on having two children - one adopted and one biological. I’ve flip-flopped a lot in terms of where I’d want to adopt from, but I think I’ve settled on the U.S. We have too many children who need loving homes. But I suppose it’s not something I have to really consider for a few more years. (ETA: I know exactly which adoption agency I want to use, assuming it’s still operational by the time I want to have kids, if I decide I want kids.)

89. A wedding is something I’ve thought about for a long time. Is it heteronormative? Yes. Is it sexist? Yes. Does that change how I feel about it? No! It shouldn’t surprise anyone, I’ve always been in love with love. I already have ideas about my wedding dress, the decorations, the music, the cake, the vows, the father-daughter dance, the first dance with my spouse, the wedding party, all of it. It doesn’t matter what the gender of the person I marry is, as long as I get the wedding of my dreams.

90. I’ve always wished I could dance. I mean, professionally. I can dance well for a normal person. But I wish I could go back in time and take dance lessons as a kid. I think dance is just so beautiful and expressive, I wish I could move my body that way, too. (ETA: I pole dance now and I fucking love it! I do still wish I had taken dance as a kid, though. Like ballet or jazz or something.)

91. Turquoise is my birthstone. A lot of people think that the birthstone for December is blue topaz or some bullshit like that, but it’s not, it’s turquoise.

92. I was the president of my high school’s Gay Straight Alliance in my junior and senior year. That club was incredibly important to me, and I poured my all into it.

93. I was assaulted in my junior year of high school. The assailant claimed he did it because I had asked him not to say the word “f**got.” That’s not even close to true, but even if it was, it’s obviously a bullshit reason to assault someone. Nonetheless, the entire school erupted into debate, with half of the students siding with me and half of them siding with the assailant, who only received two months of suspension by the way. I later found out that even the faculty was debating about what happened. A teacher I was close with at the time revealed this information to me during a club meeting while trying to get me to divulge more details about what had happened in front of the entire club. He not only put me on the spot in front of the club, but he destroyed our relationship. When I later confronted him about it, he said some incredibly sexist things to me, and got away with it because he had tenure and I couldn’t prove he said any of it. I wish I had known then what I know now, because I think I would have handled the situation quite differently.

94. While I do experience more “traditional” types of dissociation (ie. catatonia, depersonalization, etc.), the most common type of dissociation I experience is actually quite violent. Not that I attack anyone or anything like that, but I do lose control in a sense. I essentially throw a tantrum, shrieking, stomping, throwing things...which is obviously very different when an adult is doing it. I regress to the point where my normally quite articulate vocabulary becomes incredibly limited and basic. Imagine an uninterrupted, unfiltered, intense outpouring of raw emotion. I’m always extremely exhausted (and embarrassed) after the fact. And while I can only imagine how scary it is to bear witness to these dissociative episodes, I can assure you that you have no idea how terrifying it is to experience them. (ETA: I haven’t had a true paroxysm in maybe a year. Now, my most common form of dissociation is catatonia. It’s definitely still extremely emotionally exhausting, and my vocabulary still becomes limited, though that has more to do with my ability to think and speak than it does with regression. The severity of the catatonia can vary. Sometimes I can’t move at all. Sometimes I can’t speak at all. Sometimes both. Sometimes I can only move and/or speak a little. It honestly depends. It’s horrible, but definitely preferable to the paroxysms. Progress?)

95. When I was five years old, I made a “TV” out of a cardboard box (well, my mom cut the box up, I painted it), so that I could put on “shows” for my parents. I would take puppets and stuff and go inside the box and put on the “shows” by holding stuff up in front of the “screen” which was just a square that was cut out of the box. This was, in my opinion, the first really creative endeavor I conceived. (ETA: Unfortunately, my parents threw out the box when they moved to their new house. But I was able to take some pictures of it and say goodbye!)

96. My first “boyfriend” was a friend of mine in preschool, when I was three years old. I have no idea if he remembers or not, or how seriously he took it, but oh man I was in LOVE with him. At least, as in love as a three year old can be. Truth be told, I’m not sure where my great love of love stemmed from, it started at such a young age, but it’s never wavered.

97. I love to travel. I have been to about half of the states in the U.S., as well as eight countries: England, Scotland, Israel, Nicaragua, Jamaica, Bermuda, Italy, and Iceland. I’ll be able to add France to my list in the the spring. One day, I’d like to be able to say I’ve been all over the world. (ETA: Unfortunately, I have not been able to go to France yet, because of Covid. But hopefully soon!)

98. While I was studying abroad in Italy, I had the opportunity to take a tour of a very old mansion. The mansion was on the grounds of the campus, and tours were usually given by grad students. Well, that day, the grad student who was supposed to give us our tour called out sick, so we were shown around by the woman in charge of taking care of the manor. It also happened that my mother, who was visiting me, and I were the only people signed up for the tour that day. So not only did we get an extra long and detailed tour, we got a specialized, private tour. When the head of preservation realized how passionate my mother and I are about art, and saw how respectful we were, she told us she would take us to rooms in the house that were off limits to the public. One of these rooms happened to be the master bedroom. It was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen. There were paintings, some as old as the 1100′s, lining the walls from floor to ceiling. The bed was not huge, maybe only a double, but there was also a large couch and fur rug. The whole room was shrouded in darkness to protect the art. I didn’t want to leave. That was probably the best day of my life.

99. Once I decide I love you, like really really love you, no matter what happens between us, what role you play in my life, or even if you’re not in it, I’ll love you forever. (ETA: This kind of bond takes time. At least five years, minimum.)

100. I am way more open and vulnerable on this blog than I will ever be in real life.

Obviously, there is a lot more to me than these 100 things. I put a lot of thought into what parts of me to share. I wanted to find a balance of surface level factoids and more profound pieces of information. And of course, there were certain things that I decided I wasn’t comfortable posting. But if there’s anything else anyone wants to know about me, feel free to ask! If I can answer it, I will.

Thank you so much for reading!

it’s the first snow of fall, the cauldron of soup is on the stove, the halloween lights and candles are lit and I'm trying to focus on schoolwork but my brain is swimming with so many thoughts. my daughter has suddenly changed from a baby to a precocious little 4 year old girl over night. she’s sassy, naughty, funny, and sometimes so intuitive and intelligent i wonder what I'm in for. i started speaking to my father and brother regularly and both relationships are going as well as I could hope for. my father in law is ill and I worry for him and the effect it will have on the family, especially my husband. I started taking lexapro after a miserable august and september and can finally say I feel like myself again, whoever that is. i’ve lived with anxiety for so long, sometimes i don’t know what to do without it. I drink tea with milk and honey on cold days. i focus on my GPA. i. make sure i send healthy snacks for my daughter’s preschool class. I comb her hair and brush her teeth and try to keep my patience when she tells me a joke or a story for the 100th time because I want to be the best mother I can be and I know one day she won’t want my time or attention and I'll have to beg her to speak to me. I try not to beat myself up about my appearance. I wear comfortable clothes and never wear the accumulation of edgy band tee shirts sitting in a drawer that used to make me feel cool.i watch football with my husband and occasionally try to understand it. I drink wine occasionally and can’t remember the last time I was actually drunk. I'm so far from who I was and what I thought defined me that I think maybe I was never that person at all. maybe this is who I was always supposed to be and that’s why I struggled for so long. contentment is always so foreign to me.

we went to nj over the summer for the first time in 5 years and ate all the foods we missed and saw some of the people we love the most. but things are different. things have changed in places and relationships. if anything it just solidified us, as an us. I always envisioned being friends with friends forever and having our children play together and living in the same neighborhood but I'm different now, we’re all different now. things will continue to evolve I guess.

my husband is leaving in two days to go back to nj for the funeral of a friend that passed away from an overdose, one of the many. I worry because even though he’ll only be gone for a few days, it’s the longest we’ve ever been apart. I worry that old demons will drag him down. I worry that most of all his heart will be hurt. my friend tells me constantly that I am an empath and I struggle to accept it. I don’t want to feel everything in my soul. but when I think of anything hurting my family, I feel it deeply. all I can do is support him and hope he gets the closure I know he needs. mostly, as I start to turn inward and wait for the blizzards and the soup and the dark nights to come, I think about how grateful I am that I have my husband, my daughter, a safe place to land when life hurts, and the ability to pursue a career that will make our lives easier. no one is getting out of this world alive, but maybe some of us will be able to survive it a little easier for a little while longer.

Hidden Feelings

jennie angst

(not my gif).

You knew you were never going to make it. Each stride you took, it burned more and more, but the urge to finish was ingrained into your heart. Step by step, you sprinted to the finish line.

You slumped against the wall of your school gymnasium, panting and gasping for breath. There wasn’t enough time, and you didn’t make it. Your school gym teacher came up to the cold brick wall you were collapsed against, and you could practically feel the anger surging from him.

“Get up, Y/N! This is the fifth time you’ve failed to finish the 4 laps! What do you think this is, preschool? Don’t make me give you another lunch detention.” He spat out the lecture to you.

It’s not like you haven’t been yelled at by teachers before, sometimes you just didn’t have enough time to do the ridiculous things they’ve asked of you before. Where in life would I need to run a mile in under 10 minutes anyway? You sighed as you limped to the locker room, still feeling the effects of the long sprint you just ran. Fortunately, the other students weren’t here to watch you fail, for what seems like the 100th time. The other girls greeted you in the locker room, lightly hitting your back and teasing you as your walk of shame to your locker seemed to never end.

“Missed it again? C’mon Y/N, you should learn by now to double-knot your shoes.” Jennie joked, with a grin growing on her face. You half-laughed and shrugged at her usual teasing, turning to get your books and binders.

“Hey, is something wrong? I was kidding.” She softly said, concerned about your unusual mood. She reached to your shoulder while asking to reassure you that she was joking, but again, you shrugged and turned away. Of course, you knew she wasn’t being serious. Lately, you’ve been trying to avoid talking to her, which is hard because she’s been your only life-long friend and neighbor, and she can easily pick up when something is wrong. Truly, she had done nothing wrong and neither had you, but it’s quite obvious something was putting you in a bad mood recently. It was hard, as a relatively quiet person who isn’t really in touch with her feelings, it was difficult to find out what exactly is bugging you. That’s when Jennie would come in and talk about it with you, which is how you resolved your problems and anxieties 99% of the time. This time, it was different. Jennie just got a “boyfriend” and just as best friends normally would, you guys talked about it all night. Well, she talked and you listened, as usual. Now instead of walking with you throughout the halls before class starts, and instead of hanging out every day after school, she would just spend her time with him instead of you. On top of having to wander the school by yourself, you felt greedy that you wanted her all to yourself, and to make matters even worse, you had no idea how to deal with any of this because obviously, you wouldn’t rant about Jennie’s boyfriend to her because that's just flat-out rude. You would just somehow to deal with this on your own, by yourself, for the first time.

The painful schedule of classes with Jennie and her boyfriend stung like salt in a wound, and each glance at him felt like your chest was closing in on itself. Finally, the final bell rings and you're almost jogging as you rush to get home.

I'm sure I would've made the 4 laps if I were going this pace, you amuse yourself, finding anything to distract your mind from... her

“Hey- Y/N! Wait!” Jennie huffed, shuffling to catch up on your quick pace.

The wind blew cold air, and the dark, gray sky looked as if it were about to cry icy tears, just like you. You could feel Jennie grab your wrist.

“Seriously Y/N, are you deaf? I was practically shouting at you. What’s wrong?” Her voice got gradually got louder at the end of her sentence, and she was beg-shouting. Her eyebrows furrowed and her cheeks were slightly flushed from the cold air, but her expression softened when you turned around and showed your teared-up eyes. Shrugging, you whipped around and continued on your path home, walking even quicker than before. After a while, she stopped chasing you and kept a distance as you both walked to the same neighborhood. Quickly, you stepped into your house and slammed the door. The bitter cold finally got to you, and the pain from the day caused your head to pound. The cold metal made you gasp and you slid down your front door, just as the first warm tears slid down your cold cheeks. You sat, and you cried, but why? What about Jennie having her first boyfriend was bothering you?

Later that night, there was a lot of time for you to think. After all this time, all these rough denials of you having a crush, it was decided. You were in love with Jennie Kim, your best friend since before you could even remember.

In, out, in, out

You exhaled deep, slow breaths that felt like fire to your chest. Who could have ever guessed that trying to not hyperventilate and pass out was this hard? The five stages of grief, denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, you learned this in psychology class. First, you just have to get past the first four parts and you would be fine, easy enough right? Damn, this is going to be hard. Sliding further into a slumped position, you rubbed your hands through your messy, disheveled hair. The disorder of your appearance, with a wrinkled black shirt, untied white muddy shoes, and unintentionally ripped blue jeans would usually bother you and make you fix it almost immediately, however, this was a different case. All care and order you had were gone, and everything you thought was fine suddenly turned terrible.

Luckily for you, there was a four day weekend after your ‘realization’, which allowed you to think about things even more. Are you going to tell her, or not? At the moment, you were leaning towards the ‘just ignore it until it goes away’ side, but it was still to be determined. The four minutes you had laying in your warm bed as icy rain tapped your windows felt like heaven before the shrill cry of your alarm beckoned you awake. You pulled on a slightly white t-shirt and a pair of pajama shorts because hobbling over to your bathroom. It was easy for you to look like absolute crap while your over-the-top perfectionist mother was on a month-long business trip, and you took the few weeks you had left of peace with liberty. After tidying yourself up, you left the cold upstairs of your house to get a nice warm cup of tea to help you start your perfect lazy-weekend. The week your midterm exams were the best since you had a short break with absolutely no homework, and no clingy friends to bother you since everybody was far too tired to make any plans to visit a friend. Or that's at least what you thought.

The sharp knocking on your door caused you to jump and almost made you spill your tea. You cursed as you walked over to the door in your pajama pants, bunny slippers, and a messy t-shirt. The harsh knocking only became louder as you took your time moving to open the door, and you actually started getting a bit anxious. The cold air hit you like a tsunami, and the air smelled like damp moss because the rain just started picking up. You wiped the fog off the glass door and to your surprise, and terror, Jennie was standing there, shivering and wet.

“Hey...” She looked up at you, with an awkward smile forming on her reddened face. A few seconds passed of confused silence.

“Well, come in, I don’t want you to get sick!” You nagged her, grabbing her slick wrist and pulling her freezing body inside.

The motherly feeling of having to care for your best friend overtook your promise of ignoring her while you got over your crush, but it soon went away after you grabbed a blanket and cup of tea for your cold friend.

“You know how I’m scared of storms, and since nobody’s home I thought it would be okay if you let me stay over here until it passes?” Jennie almost whispered, looking slightly like a lost puppy.

“Jennie, of course. The only thing is that this storm is gonna last a few days, and they’re even considering extending our break because of it. Anyways, stay as long as you’d like.”

“And Y/N? I’d actually like to talk to you about something, but I think I want to wait until later if that's okay with you.”

You nodded yes and with that being said, you both sat on the white leather couch and watched the weather channel for any updates while talking, laughing, and sipping on the hot tea.

Hours passed as the only weather updates given were getting worse and worse. There was no way Jennie would be leaving anytime soon. The thought of having to spend a day, god forbid a week, with Jennie completely ruined your plans of avoiding her to return your feelings back to normal. Although you wouldn't be making any progress anytime soon, your pure love for her drove your body to allow Jennie emotional shelter during this storm.

"Good evening everyone. Our weather team has told us to alert you all and let you know that it is currently unsafe to drive, bike, and even walk outside. Please stay indoors for the time being, and stay tuned for more updates. This time period of extreme danger will last for at least a week."

Jennie sighed and switched the channel, dramatically tossing the remote to the couch and placing her hands on her face.

"Guess I'm never leaving, huh, y/n?"

You replied with a small nod no. The blaring audio of an old SpongeBob episode caused you both to sit up. What a classic.

"Hey Jen, remember when we used to watch this all the time as kids?"

"Oh y/n, how could I ever forget?" she said with a childish look growing on her face. As the both of you get lost in childhood memories and time passes, the sky slowly darkens and the stormy sky shifts into an even darker shade of gray with stars slowly appearing. Jennie somehow ends up with her head on your chest and her arms wrapped around your torso. Her soft, warm arms around you while she’s in your hoodie that you loaned her gave you the coziest feeling possible. She practically was purring because somehow the hard rain tapping on the window lured her asleep. This is how you wanted to spend your life, in an embrace with the one you love most. Closing your eyes, you dreamed of the even cozier future that could be had by you and Jennie.

Zzzzt-

Power. Outage.

Jennie's soft grip on you quickly turns into more of a death grip, and that cozy feeling got swept away. You both perked up and this caused the blankets to quickly slip off, exposing you to the cold air surrounding the living room. This was usual during a bad storm in this city. Power outage and then a few minutes later, it would be back on and the electricity company would release an official apology. Both you and Jennie got to work, being used to this type of stuff. She grabbed a flashlight and you got some matches and a candle, just in case the batteries somehow failed.

Which they did.

So here you were, sitting across from your best friend, that you just dreamed about having a romantic future with a few moments ago. The glow of the candle between you two gave her face a soft, golden tone. It reminded of the time you went to the beach with her in 6th grade, and you carried her to the local clinic because she sprained her wrist while boogie boarding. It reminded you of the time when she convinced you to go on an intimate picnic on a hill near her house to watch the sunset. The tall, tan grass swayed in the wind, in tempo with her hair flowing and her face glowing.

“Hey, can I tell you what I said I would earlier?” she said, the flames smooth dance reflecting in her eyes.

With a swift nod from you, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

“I don’t even like him, every time he even texts me I just feel nothing but annoyance,” the words came flying out, so much so that the flames dance turned into a frantic waving, “we literally have two things in common, and both of them are classes! I don’t know what to do..”

“Jendeukie, chillax, I’ve never seen you this frantic. Just tell him and be honest. Ahem, ‘I gave it a try but I feel like this isn’t going to work. Thank you for your time, though’. That’s it, Jennie, text him right now.”

It pained you to see her this stressed out about such a minor inconvenience, but although you hate to admit it, you were doing a tiny victory dance in your mind. You got lost in your greedy happiness but when you heard a faint sob, you snapped out of it. Swiping the candlestick to the side, you slid forward and instinctively wrapped your arms around her. The Jennie Kim was crying because she didn’t like her boyfriend. Empathically, you cried too. It was only natural, you guys had a twin-level emotional connection, and suddenly you felt your heart sting even more. The guilt she felt, the hatred she felt, it all came rushing in. It seemed like the flames were weeping too. You both comforted each other, wrapped in a tight hug with a candle-light orange blanketed over you. The candle joined the embrace.

Waking up, you were on the cold hardwood floor with Jennie nuzzled into your neck. It was still raining, however, the sky was a lighter gray than before and you realized it was morning. A small flame disappeared into a flowing smoke as you blew it out, and the candle was melted almost to the metal candlestick. The smoke danced around incredibly light, and that caused you to remember that Jennie was also incredibly light, so you swiftly picked her up and carried her bridal-style to your bedroom. Her lips grew into a tired smile as she woke up, feeling you holding her. You set her down on your plush bed and started getting out pillows and a blanket so you could sleep on the floor. A quick tug pulled you back to the sleeping beauty.

“Don’t go Y/N, lets sleep in..” her raspy morning voice pulled you in like a magnet.

Before you could even blink, she pulled you in and both of you were covered by a thick, warm duvet. The plush of the bed made you two sink together and suddenly Jennie was practically on top of you, laughing like a little kid. Your heart swelled, and you were scared that she would hear the pounding on your chest. Her soft, brown hair tickled your nose as she swept it over her shoulder, and you laughed as she started leaning closer in.

Wait, what?

Time felt slower and her face got closer and closer. You felt her smile and the light pink lips that you constantly desired brushed over yours. The smell of a familiar cinnamon scent veiled over you. In all honesty, you would’ve been completely fine just looking at her face while she had her signature smile on, and this completely new feelings made your knees weak. You knew that this one kiss could change everything, and what you’ve been craving most for many years would finally be given to you. She hovered over you for a second before leaning in and closing her eyes. The whole world felt different, you could no longer feel the soft and cushy bed or the heavy duvet over you. When her lips finally pressed against yours, you felt nothing but love. Raw, pure, persistent love. You finally realized that the dreams of a future with Jennie were closer than ever, and it was all you could ever wish for. The slow kiss had fallen into a rhythm, and the passion overwhelmed you both. When she reluctantly pulled away, you were panting in sync with her. The hard realization of what had just happened caused heat to rise up into your cheeks, and you let out a soft giggle. She froze. You watched as her smirk flattened out and her eyes slightly opened.

“Y/N, I’m so, so sorry. I didn’t mean to do that, I was just thinking about him and I’m tired. Can we forget that just happened?”

I love to entertain in my backyard , however these rats are not afraid to run across my yard even when I am entertaining and the yard is crowded with people. If your area does you might be able to call the city and let them know about the rats and the dog poo. That means that information can be more freely shared without concern that people who should not have access to the information might receive it. The people who actually enjoy hair regrow is very rare form the reasders response in my blog and also in hair loss help forum. Might suggest it if you've got patients who really shouldn't miss a dose of anything, or if they're on meds that need to taken at a very specific time.

Interview: "Mickey Mouse Funhouse" Supervising Director Phil Weinstein Talks Season 2 Surprises, Easter Eggs, and Guest Stars

New Post has been published on https://petnews2day.com/pet-news/small-pet-news/interview-mickey-mouse-funhouse-supervising-director-phil-weinstein-talks-season-2-surprises-easter-eggs-and-guest-stars/

Interview: "Mickey Mouse Funhouse" Supervising Director Phil Weinstein Talks Season 2 Surprises, Easter Eggs, and Guest Stars

Mickey Mouse will celebrate his 94th birthday on November 18th, but fans can begin to celebrate early with the Season 2 premiere of Mickey Mouse Funhouse on November 4th on Disney Junior and the DisneyNow app. In celebration of the second season of the hit musical series, I had the honor of speaking with executive producer and supervising director Phil Weinstein about what kind of fun Mickey and his pals will get into in these new episodes, how the show honors the legacy of not Mickey Mouse and The Walt Disney Company, and the incredible weight of keeping a character on the heels of a 100th anniversary feel forever young.

(Disney)

Benji: Congratulations on the success of Mickey Mouse Funhouse. What has the show’s success meant to you?

Phil: It’s just nice that it’s part of this legacy of Mickey Mouse and that we can not only carry on the tradition of Mickey but also in the preschool world, a continuation of that version of Mickey that all started with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. So it’s just pretty wonderful.

Benji: Season 2 is going to premiere a few days before Mickey’s birthday on November 18th. It won’t just be preschoolers celebrating, but Mickey Mouse fans of all ages. What are you most excited for fans to see in Season 2?

Phil: I’ll give you something for the grownups because not a lot of people know about this, but I’ll tell you about it. There’s a lot of legacy DNA in this show that a lot of folks don’t know about. I won’t give you all of them, but I’ll give you some of them. So if you’re a grownup and you’re watching this show, obviously there’s a lot of hidden Mickeys in the design of the art. So you can see them in the clouds and in the bushes and in the ground, that kind of stuff. That’s a reflection of what happens at theme parks. But also, there’s a ton of stuff in there that’s really all about legendary animators, The Nine Old Men and the early Imagineers. In the very beginning of my career, before I was at Disney, my wife was lucky enough to work in a division of Disney called The Art Additions. And she was Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston’s liaison. They had retired and they were doing the second publishing of their book, The Illusion of Life. We became very friendly with them and were very fortunate to get to know them, and we would go to their homes. Frank and Ollie lived next door to each other in real life. And Frank had a dog, and his dog’s name was Teddy. And that’s where the name of Teddy the doghouse comes from that’s in the show, the funny little doghouse toy.

Benji: That’s really cool.

Phil: Yeah, there’s a lot of other stuff like that in there. I don’t know if I should give it all away, but if you really pay attention, you’ll see there are things that call back to iconic Disney. The topiary. If you walk around Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland, you’ll see the square trees, that kind of stuff. That’s all from the parks.

Benji: Wow. That Eyvind Earle-style tree.

Phil: 100%. You got it.

Benji: That’s really cool. Season 1 was known for attracting some great guest stars, including famed Disney fan John Stamos as Captain Salty Bones. What was it like working with somebody who was probably pretty excited to be working alongside The Sensational 6?

Phil: Well, we were excited to meet him. He’s obviously a big star, and I think he may have been even more excited to work with the voice talent behind Mickey and Minnie and Daisy and that whole gang. He was just over the moon about that stuff. And during the recording sessions, all the in-between time was talking about … For example, he wanted to know about the design of Mickey Mouse. And he told us about how he famously bought, I think, the letter D from the Disneyland sign. So all the conversation in between the recording session was about all the Disney nerdy stuff any other Disney fan would talk about. It was really a pleasure. He’s really, really into it.

Benji: I’ve heard there will be guest stars in Season 2. Can you talk a little bit about what fans can expect?

Phil: Well, we’ve got John Stamos’ Big Shot costar Yvette Nicole Brown. If you know that show,they were kind of frienemies. And so there was a female pirate in the show, and we thought, “Well, who better to cast against John Samos as Salty Bones?” Playing that same type of role in Funhouse was to give Yvette the role. So that’s why she was cast in that part. And they’re perfect together. We’ve got Alice Lee from Zoe’s Extraordinary Playlist and that show is all about imagination, so there’s that fantasy play element. What’s cool about the second season is that when the gang goes to the adventure doors, we start going to some real places. For example, the characters go to Mexico City and learn about Day of the Dead, and they also travel to Korea, where they meet Alice Lee’s character and learn about the Korean holiday Lunar New Year. It’s very cool. These are really delightful, cute stories. But also you learn a little something about the world.

Benji: That sounds like a challenge, to represent a different culture while making sure the message is digestible to a young audience.

Phil: You really hit the nail on the head because oftentimes the stories will be pitched with a lot of information that would be wonderful for a grownup, but it’s over the head for a really young audience. So we have to find ways to simplify the language so they understand the intent of the holiday. For example, Day of the Dead is really a celebration honoring the ones you’ve lost. Little kids maybe don’t understand that in depth, but through the art direction and some simpler language, they get the idea that it’s a celebration of life. So that’s the way we approach it. They all start with a lot more language that would be more appropriate for an older audience. And then through a series of revisions on the scripts and things, we find a way to deliver that stuff to a young audience and get the feeling without the heavy language that would be too much for a young one.

Benji: Mickey Mouse Funhouse is also known for its fun songs, written by Disney Junior legend Beau Black and Lauren Hopkins. How important is music to the series?

Phil: Beau is an unbelievably talented person and we’re so lucky to have him on the show. Because he’s so talented and can seem to handle anything, whenever a script comes in, we’re always searching Spotify to challenge him with a different style of music because we know he can handle it. He always delivers no matter whether it’s a country western tune like Mickey sang in the first season or something that leans more into… I don’t want to spoil anything, but something that swings completely the other direction with kind of a hard rock sort of thing. He always nails it, but I don’t know how he does it. He’s just magic, he’s amazing.

Benji: You’re creating new stories for Mickey Mouse, who has been around for nearly 95 years. How do you approach being true to those characters while also not letting it limit your storytelling?

Phil: Well, the main group of characters – Mickey, Minnie, Daisy, Donald, Goofy, Pluto – everybody understands those personalities at their core. You just sort of know. If I say, what’s Mickey like to you, what would you say?

Benji: Friendly?

Phil: He’s earnest. Yeah, he’s always positive. He’s always upbeat. And what about Donald?

Benji: Cranky.

Phil: He’s always a little bit cranky. Minnie and Daisy, I always think of them as almost like Lucy and Ethel from I love Lucy. That’s kind of my takeaway. And so when you keep that in mind, that informs the conversation that’s going to happen. And then we allow for them to have a little more range of emotions. So Mickey can get a little bit annoyed and Donald can be very pleasant, but you stay within the boundaries of the core understanding of who they are. What happens all the time is we’ll see a line and we’ll go, “That’s more like a Goofy line than a Daisy line,” so we’ll swap it. It’s something you sort of feel.

Benji: The Sensational 6 sort of become the Stupendous 7 with the addition of Funny the Funhouse. What was your approach to creating this added character and how do you keep him interesting?

Phil: The main thing about Funny is that we wanted to make sure that Funny is not a grownup. Funny’s not a teacher. Funny’s not a parent. Funny is a pal. Funny is a peer. He’s an avatar. So he will travel on adventures with the gang and help them on their adventure, but doesn’t explain things in the way a teacher would, occasionally filling in some missing information, but just is another pal on the trip, a buddy. We always try to keep that in mind and make sure that funny doesn’t drift off into it. You don’t want to feel like the teacher is telling you something.

Benji: You’ve taken the characters to some pretty incredible destinations. Do you have a favorite from the series so far?

Phil: There’s an episode that’s coming in Season 2 where we get to learn about dreams. In this episode, Goofy doesn’t want to go to sleep because he’s afraid of his dreams. And so we actually go to a dream world, we go to Goofy’s dream world and wait ’til you see that. And his dream world is made of versions of places we’ve already been in this series, but a dream version of them. And that is really beautiful and magical and not scary.

Benji: It was recently Halloween and I had a pair of trick-or-treaters at my door dressed as Mickey Mouse and Funny the Funhouse. The boy had a little cardboard house and his face was poking through it. You’re not just creating a show, you’re expanding the legacy of the most recognized character in the world and being the first exposure to Mickey Mouse for an entire generation. Do you ever take a step back and feel the weight of that?

Phil: We’re really lucky. We have a big organization with a lot of eyes on these things that help us with the guardrails to make sure we don’t veer off course tonally. We have an amazing crew and staff and artists on the production, but also there are other groups at Disney that help us on that front. Sometimes you forget because you’re just doing it day in and day out. But when I notice it is when we go to a recording session and we’ll bring in a guest actor, and sometimes they’re a star, like a big star, and we’re all a little bit nervous meeting them and talking. And then sometimes they’ll be reading a line and the line might be right before or right after a Mickey line, and so in order to help them, we’ll play that Mickey line so they can hear it in their headphones before they do their part. And I’ve seen a couple of moments where the actor has to take a moment, they just can’t believe they’re performing with Mickey Mouse and that’s always those moments that remind me he’s a pretty big deal around the world. So we try to honor his legacy without messing it up.

Benji: Well, I suppose it’s about time for a “Stretch Break.” I appreciate you taking the time to talk to me and all the work you and your team have done to keep Mickey alive and well for a new generation.

Phil: Thank you so much.
