Tinder in real life ( Harry Lewis x Reader)

Word count: 1,1k

Summary: You work as an influencer when you wake up to a call from your manager. She tells you about a chance to be on a video about tinder-in-real-life where you could raise your visibility and get more followers. You take the offer up and end up in a Sidemen video where you get to meet a certain shy, blond-haired boy who seems to have a liking to you.

brrr brrrr

Your phone rang somewhere.

brrr brrrr

”Ughhhh” you groan as you reach for your buzzing phone on your bed. You pat empty spots a couple times because you cant be bothered to open your eyes this early getting more irritated by the second when your hand cant find your phone. 

brr-

”Hello?” You answered groggily.

”Rise and shine girl, i got u a job offer!” It was your manager.

”This early? Give me like 2 more hours n call me again, i cant think rn”

”No, i need to give a response now if youre in or not”

”Ughh fine, okay what is it?”

”They cant disclose much, but its a tinder-in-real-life type of video and they’re getting a bunch of girls on it”

”Girl what.”

”It's a good way to raise your following! get your name out there, they get tens of millions of views every video, i really think you should do this”

”Hmmm alright when is it?”

”It's next month, ill send you the address and time closer to the date”

”Mhhmhm ok gnight ttyl”

”Oh and don’t forget to do the-

You hung up on your manager, shes great at her job but sometimes shes a bit too hyper. You throw your phone away and pull the covers further over your head.

It's been about a month and you’ve been getting more anxious every passing day about this video you promised to be in. It is tomorrow and you don’t feel prepared at all. You would need to put on your best smile and make yourself entertaining and likable so you could get as many people to follow you after the video was posted. Your biggest fear was that you’d say the wrong thing or completely embarrass yourself in front of millions and millions of people. 

You walk into the studio and step into a line of beautiful girls. You knew you were pretty but these people were all breathtaking. The line went by fast because it was just a security and id check and after you were guided into a room to wait. You went on your phone to pass the time while some of the girls were squeaking about getting to meet "The Sidemen".

Soon it was your turn. Hands sweating you left the waiting room and walked over to where the tape was placed for you to stand on. You saw a line of about ten guys, some chatting amidst themselves and some giving you awkward smiles. Infront of you there was a cardboard frame with yes and no stickers at the bottom representing tinder. 

You noticed you were fiddling with your ring and made a mental note to try and not look so nervous. “Okay, first introduce yourself, say your name, age and where you’re from” yelled someone from the camera crew.

You took a second to calm your nerves. “Hi, I’m y/n, I am 21 years old and I’m from Brighton!” You smiled at the guy ahead of you. 

He was tall and confident. “Hi, I'm Simon, I’m 27 and I bet I could touch your belly button from the inside!” You saw him cringe at himself.

“Eughh” was heard from the herd of men. “You winced when you said that, I don't even think you wanted to say that” you laughed. “I know, '' he said as you guided him to the left with your hand. Time went on and you kept swiping people based on their lines. You were nearly halfway done and you were having the time of your life.

Next up walked a cute blonde boy who seemed even more nervous than you, if that was possible. He was holding a notebook with both hands where he had scribbled in earlier, probably trying to come up with good pickup lines. 

“Hello, im harry I’m 23.. uhh”

He glanced at his notebook

“Girl you got more legs than a bucket of chicken”

You couldn’t help but giggle at the fact that he had written that down, and thought it was good. 

Every guy laughed while he stood there sending you an awkward smile, fiddling with his notebook. He was having a hard time keeping eye-contact since he was nervous but he tried his best. Something about him made you unable to stop smiling.

“I liked that, plus you’re cute so…” you swiped him right. He did a little “hooray!” with his hands and walked up next to the guys you had said yes to.

After saying yes to Harry you kept sharing sneaky glances with him. Every time you looked over at him, he was already looking straight at you. You noticed he hadn’t stopped smiling since getting there.

Rest of the group went by quickly, lastly you gave a little recap on why you rejected the people you did and then you were on your way. While walking away you looked back one last time and gave Harry a smile checking him out. And he seemed like he was about to say something but decided not to. Shame.

You walked trough the waiting room, where there were only 4 more girls waiting for their turns, to where your jacket and bag were. You felt happy because you did well and it was over. You couldn’t wait to be able to see the video in a couple of weeks. Just as you were about to open the door to leave 

“Hey! y/n wait!” You were surprised he remembered your name

“Oh hi! did I leave something?”

“Just my number haha! uhh anyway..” He scratched the back of his neck holding his phone in his hand.

“..so yeah i was thinking maybe we could grab coffee sometime? Id like to get to know you more.. or i mean if you want that is.. so uhh”

“I would love to! Here” You took his phone and put your number in it. 

“Text me -

“Harry where the hell are you ? We have to wrap this up” 

You heard somebody yell

Harry looked at you and smiled. You nodded signaling that he should go. He jogged back over to the set looking back at you once more.

And there you were walking back inside your apartment smiling from ear to ear when your phone received a notification.

Imessage:

“Hi its Harry from that video! are u possibly free on saturday?”

Awkward moment Richard Marx almost ignores Prince Harry at Kevin Costner's charity event - as 'sick' Meghan Markle stays home by u/Von_und_zu_

Awkward moment Richard Marx almost ignores Prince Harry at Kevin Costner's charity event - as 'sick' Meghan Markle stays home Is anyone else bemused by this? Harold, waiting backstage to meet Richard Marx. Marx walks right on past him until some guy points out Harold, who apparently wants to meet him. And then Harold introduces himself as "Prince Harry." What happened to just Harry? And the article then, perhaps to flatter Harold, claims Marx "looked stunned" by Harold's "presence." I'm surprised they did not say Marx was "awed" and "thrilled."Following his set, the rock star was filmed exiting the stage and being introduced to Prince Harry, who had been waiting in the wings. [Harold waiting in the wings, as he apparently has been his entire life.... ]Footage uploaded to Instagram by his wife Daisy Fuentes shows the Right Here Waiting singer almost walking past the royal - before a man off-camera points him in the right direction. [I wonder whether Marx wanted to meet Harold, whether, he simply could not avoid Harold who was lying in wait, or whether he even knew who Harold was. What a comedown for Harold who thinks everyone knows who he is and wants him.]*As he guides him to the royal, the man is heard saying: '*Richard? Prince Harry.'  [Be sure to use the title, to make sure they know who you are!]The singer-songwriter looks stunned by Harry's presence as the royal reaches out for a handshake. [Stunned? Awed? Floored? Irritated?]Before the clip cuts out, the royal is heard saying: 'Hey! Well done.'  [I'm sure Marx appreciated Harold's seal of approval.]Richard's wife Daisy - who is a model, comedian and former MTV host - then shared a picture of the rock star and royal deep in conversation.The 57-year-old then tagged the Instagram account 'Prince Harry of England', which is run by a royal fan and boasts 410,000 followers.Prince Harry has only ever publicly used Instagram via the former 'Kensington Palace' account - which has since rebranded to the Prince and Princess of Wales' official channel - and SussexRoyal, which has been inactive since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back as working royals in 2020. Meghan Markle joined Prince Harry at the charity event last year and guests had hoped the Duchess would be in attendance again. [Get real. No one cared.]Me: I cannot believe this interaction merited an article. Is it supposed to present Harold in a flattering way because I think he seems like a loser.https://ift.tt/SVYldmB post link: https://ift.tt/4SRLZhB author: Von_und_zu_ submitted: September 21, 2024 at 12:40PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit disclaimer: all views + opinions expressed by the author of this post, as well as any comments and reblogs, are solely the author's own; they do not necessarily reflect the views of the administrator of this Tumblr blog.

HEYYYY HIIIIII ( WAVING MY HANDS WILDLY!! ) SNIFFS U!!! i’m so excited to introduce mimi!!!!!!1!1!1!1!1!!11! alias is sol btw!! ( she/they + 21 + est ) ngl i had her intro done for like 3 days cuz i was so excited but shhh don’t talk about it…. anyway!!!!! anything u need to know abt her is condensed below the cut, as well as her links!!!! they are also on my pinned tho……. pls like this to plot and i will reach out!!! i am kinda busy with work until monday ( gun to my head ) so i will be a little slow but PLSPSLSPLSLS I WANNA PLOT SO BADDDD PLSSS PICK ME CHOOSE ME

also, if you see me posting a self-para in a few hours dont worry abt it… i’m jst feeling silly n goofy.

backstory .ᐟ ( tw: mentions of anxiety disorder, familial death )

minji, who 100% prefers the name mimi, is an.. interesting one! she first developed her ability when she was 7 years old. her parents do not have any abilities, and her ability is a direct descent of her grandmother, who was a famous scientist who did research on clones, and used her own ability to test the limits.

she was always a nervous child, but it only got worse after the death of her grandmother, who she was extremely close with. it happened when she was 6 years old, which is also when thoughts of her having an anxiety disorder manifested as rumours within her family. however, she was a bit too young to get diagnosed.

once her ability manifested, she felt herself spiralling with issues of identity, along with trying to figure out herself and what she wanted to do — who she wanted to be. besides her identity crisis she had ( & still has ) once a day, she’s a pretty happy and go-lucky person.

she grew up extremely interested in journalism, and with the help of her other abilities ( & annoying clones she could never control ), it was easy to find things out about people, and also discover her talent for reporting and writing. she was quick to join her school’s newspaper, and became the top columnist every year.

it’s pretty hard to control her abilities. her minor abilities manifested at different times: her first one at 10, and her second one at 16.

she was diagnosed with anxiety at 10 with the discovery of her 1st minor ability, and later diagnosed with adhd, which is a primary reason for her constantly being scattered and all over the place.

she found school to be appropriately challenging. she was always the academic weapon — the one everyone went to for tutoring or to ask for answers, and the one who was destined for greatness. a christiane amanpour. a journalist to bring change and report on the world and what was really going on. graduating a year early also helped with her thoughts of a successful future.

and then… she got accepted to harvard. it had been a rash decision — a slightly manic episode where she applied to the international school where she believed she would never get in. but she did, with a full-ride. and soon enough, she was a harvard student. and honestly, her time at harvard had been the best time of her life. she had graduated rather highly in her class, and was able to receive an entire master’s degree in only a year after receiving her bachelor’s degree — which leads her to now.

recently moved back to korea, she believed that finding a job would be pretty easy. she was a graduate of harvard with a master’s degree, and had a few notable internships under her belt. but what she hadn’t realised is that… becoming a reporter wasn’t easy when all anyone ever cared about was the aeternals.

if she wasn’t writing about the latest gossip about the aeternals, her columns got little-to-no attention. she wants to write something big, something that matters — not the egotistical heroes their society glorifies. but… no one else wants to read about that. so, with her degree somewhat thrown down the drain, she stays at silver line, hoping for her big break.

she took a waitressing job at hi-dine in order to help pay for her bills, and put out numerous ads for a roommate. she tries her best to keep her cloning a secret, as it is more of a nuisance than a beloved ability.

personality .ᐟ ( read her DOSSIER here .ᐟ )

heavily inspired by rory gilmore, saiki-k, twilight sparkle, christofferson fox, hot to go.

her favourite color is light pink & sage green. her favourite flowers are tulips. her favourite food is bingsu & any other sweet foods. her favourite drink is lemon water, or any other drinks with fruits in them. her favourite alcohol is blueberry wine. her favourite animals are foxes. her favourite song is hot to go by chappell roan. her favourite movie is the chronicles of narnia & coraline.

she is an ambivert at heart, but identifies more with her extroverted side. she is always happy to meet new people, but gets awkward once she hears their thoughts. she is kind to a fault, and sees the best in people. however, she is quick to drop those she feels have wronged her within reason. she may give second chances, but she won’t give a third one.

she is easily stressed, especially with her anxiety disorder, which causes her clones to appear, and she doesn’t really like them. they act more like sisters than clones, and will bother her or help her depending on their mood.

she is also very absent-minded at times and clumsy. she’s very expressive with her emotions and her face, and is always running around somewhere. she is typically a little late to things… but always tries her best to be on time! she gets lost easily as well, and can sometimes spoil things without even thinking of them ( think of tom holland always spoiling spiderman or marvel secrets ).

has an irrational fear of heights & bugs. they are her #1 opps.

abilities .ᐟ ( read the full description of her ABILITIES here .ᐟ )

this is a simple tl;dr of her powers as i have a page of a detailed explanation of her abilities. however, this will have enough information for you to be able to grasp them!

major ability — cloning: she can clone herself, pretty much! her clones are separate from her and have their own thoughts, feelings, and emotions. they are a bit like super detailed holograms, and usually can stay at most for 2-5 hours. she cannot control this, however, and is typically only able to manifest them when she’s stressed out.

minor ability #1 — supernatural precognition: basically, the ability to see the future. however, she can see anyone’s future within a 200-meter radius of her and can not know if it’s hers or someone else’s future unless they are shown in the vision she sees. she can also only see their future until the end of the day.

minor ability #2 — telepathy: she can hear other people’s thoughts, and in theory, speak to people with her mind. however, she has never been able to do that before. anyone within a 200-meter radius of her can hear her thoughts, and she can hear theirs. comes in handy for her job!

connections & plots .ᐟ

there’s a BUNCH of plot ideas floating in this big head of mine, and i am always down to plot something from scratch, but this is what i’m thinking of:

connections wise: best friends who grew apart ( mainly due to mimi moving for college ), neighbours who always forget her name, found family relationships, ex-best friends who hate each other, friendly rivalry, coworkers @ the herald she works with or rival reporters that don’t get along, hi-dine staff who also hate their jobs, ex-aeternal or almost aeternal who wants their spotlight but she would rather die than talk to them, regulars at hi-dine she loves & hates, etc!!

plot ideas just for fun && will be added to or changed when i can remember to do so:

mimi learns a really interesting secret about you and you’re trying to do everything in your power to keep her from writing about it.

but also, mimi learns a really devastating secret about you and is trying to keep it from you that she knows about it!!

it’s late and you come into hi-dine as the only customer and keep bothering her to chat but she needs the extra tips and plays therapist.

she has to interview you for her column and is really not looking forward to it bc she thinks you’re insufferable but you’re actually not as bad as she thought.

you have a bad experience with an aeternal and are trying to expose them with mimi’s help.

there’s workplace drama and you and mimi spend an entire manic, sleepless night trying to get down to the bottom of it.

instead of taking blockers for an important event, mimi accidentally takes a kicker without realising and can’t stop mass producing clones which makes her inconsolable and allows you to find her.

her clone gets out without her knowledge for a few hours and goes out with you, and you see mimi a few days after asking for another date. but she has absolutely no clue who you are.

mimi sees your future one day and is convinced something terrible is going to happen to you today, but she’s had the same vision for 2 months and is tired of it and decides to confront you for being so careless!!

a random child is dropped off at mimi’s door and she’s ready to become a mother until you ask her to return your niece/nephew to you.

mimi’s roommate is gone for the night and there’s a huge bug in her house she can’t get rid of and ends up practically tackling your muse to help.

[chaeyunz]

happy opening, everyone! excited to introduce u to ryu chaeyun, the wolf pack skele and also professional pain in the patoots. more info will be under the cut, and i’ll be around for a while if you’d like to plot. discord is also available (and slightly preferred!)

please be warned that passive suicidal ideation is mentioned in the intro (marked w a *) & will be a general recurring theme with her character, so please proceed w caution, and do let me know if you need a sparknotes/would prefer to plot without that point!

graduated from the national university of idgafistan, with a doctorate's in idgafism and a minor’s in ijbolism. thats it, that’s all you need to know about her.

her life pre-apocalypse was pretty normal: grew up in a family of 3 with her dad and older brother. mom passed when she was young, and at mama's funeral, her grandma tells her she has shitty fate. she's literally 10 though and doesn't understand what gran's trying to say except she doesn't ever see the maternal side of her family ever again x

watched train to busan like right before the apocalypse started and decided she just wouldn't be built like gong yoo. did, and still does not have that much will to survive, but hey, she's still here!

same can't be said for her dad, who d*es in seoul qz because of a very mundane stroke. doesn't get his blood thinners on time... or at all, bc of the kdrt rationing it super strictly. her brother turns angry at the world, and somewhere in their 5 stages of grief, they make the move to the busan qz. his joining the fireflies is the natural next step for someone so full of anger towards the kdrt.

all the unprocessed grief really makes one a great member of the resistance, and he does well within the ranks of the fireflies. he goes on every mission he can, and chaeyun knows he's gone too. his body never comes back somewhere between the 10th and 20th mission. L + ratio + skill issue!

eyes turn to her, then, to carry on his legacy. problem is, she just... doesn't want to. she's happy chilling in the qz, being a silly little 21-year-old teenage girl.

a demented old lady accosts her randomly. the same shit's spouted, but this time w a twist! she's got shit astrological fate that kills the people around her. the lady's family pulls her away and apologises for her, but it lingers in the back of chaeyun's mind.

* she entertains the idea a little more than she should, and thinks everyone around her in the qz might die. has nothing more to lose (besides a delusionship over someone who barely looks her way) and if she does something useful in div4, then maybe she deserves to live.

sorry 2 everyone on the mission, 'cause she's in her terrible twos and so goddamn annoying. like, pretending to convulse and zombify annoying. pull a gun on her and she'll be like omg wow rude..... what did i ever do to u! if u can look past the chronic unseriousness then she's alright. just ur typical gen z-er.

her one strength is bouncing back from just about anything. like, she's been through. a lot. but everyday she wakes up and decides its a new day to choose violence &lt;3

her dog is a malinois named potato (chip). better trained than her, and she loves that stupid dog so bad. classic case of tiny girl & big dog. potato sideeyes people a lot but also. is very excited and gets the zoomies 24/7 when he's not on duty. rolls over for belly rubs way 2 easy.

misc. chaeyun tingz: always has chocopies on hand. don't ask how or where she's getting them. u think she's finished the one box she's brought.. but she just keeps pulling them out. is her bag doraemon's? / very prone to nosebleeds. no reason why / keeps talking about fast food. misses mcdonald's ice cream so much. / hums under her breath. either chopin or 2016 kpop girl groups. what can she say, she's got range /

a couple plots i would like to have wld b found family.. of course. show & teach her that fate can be changed. we will all have these bitches become found family. / someone who knew her in seoul qz. can tell she's different now somehow... but can't quite put their finger on how (it's death babes x), though i'd love to brainstorm & fill any of ur wcs!

💕 for ur pokemon s/i :3 she’s so silly…

You're enabling me so bad this is gonna be miles long

Is the protag of gen7/Ultra Moon but different backstory prior to the games!

Instead of being from Kanto like og gen7 protag, she's originally from Alola, but moved away when she was like 6 cause of her dads job. Note that she never rlly had a close relationship w her dad cause its important later 👍 No negative thoughts, he was just very busy w his job and all. First moves to Kanto, lives there for two years, then moves to Hammerlocke in Galar when she's 8 and lives here till she moves back to Alola w her mom at 11.

While in Galar, her mom befriends Raihan's mom, so the two become friends despite a four year age gap(I hc Raihan as 25 by SwSh games so 👍). They hang out somewhat often, Lilith doesn't really have social media until she's like 10 but they stay in contact when she moves back to Alola.

Cue entirety of Ultra Moon that I am not recapping, becomes Alola's first champion, deals with some Ultra Beasts, fucks around and finds out in Ultra Space for fun. Reverse adopts Guzma as her dad because 1) Man that ran away from home is funny 2) just went through some traumatizing shit together 3) Not very close with her actual dad, has no father figure 4) funny dynamic

As a champion she remains pretty lowkey ig? Continues to pick up every odd job she can find, very close with the people in person but remains stone-faced and professional in any official stuff(battles, interviews, etc..). She wants to promote Alola as not just a vacation spot, but also a place that's a serious menace when it comes to battling, despite the league being so new, so she's very active in battling, visiting other regions for exhibition matches and what not.

But! The gremlin is real. Though she's got a lotta work cause league is so new and shes basically the chairwoman,,, she also investigates Ultra Space on the side because she thinks it's fun and a chance to relax!! She may be professional or kind on the outside but by god will she fistfight a UB if she has to.

Here's the spice tho,,, is invited to Galar along w Alola's elite four for some exhibition matches and a small vacation to meet old friends, about when she's 19 so two years before "current" time yk.

First time she sees her friends in Galar since she lived there so she spends a lot of time w them ofc, gets introduced to people within thr Galar league like different gym leaders and, ofc, Piers, who she has a few mutual friends with. Heeheehe they mainly become friends cause Raihan and Leon r like "You're both my pals so you're pals now" n all is almost good

Finally,,, the crushing part(Sorry not sorry this is so long I have soo many thoughts). So Champ originally only sees Piers as a close friend cause they get along well and have shared interests, while Piers starts like,, a small interest at first and then as they get to know each other more has a realisation one day that he's got a big fat fkn crush 😳

Champ only realises like. Almost a year later that she might have a thing for him when she watches one of his concerts for the first time

Ougoiuoho I havent thought out how they start dating yet okay but I'm thinking like. Slowly start doing more n more stuff like holding hands and then one day "so what are we?" "Dating?" Dbjwbehxisn but I also think it would be super cute if Piers was all flustered confessing n shit,,, choices choices. Anyways 1 year later, Champ 21, Piers 23, they r power couple that terrify interviewers 👍

If u read this far I salute you, soldier 🫡

venting some stuff

growing up i was always told i was so mature for my age (like most kids are i think) and i would get so frustrated bc the people i got along best with WERE adults. id sit there and listen to my older cousins go back and forth in these airtight dialogues packed to the brim with references and inside jokes and i could understand exactly what they were saying but u just wasnt experienced enough to contribute. i didnt have the language to express myself or enough experience to HAVE a self. juggling was the one thing that made me feel like i was actually kind of equal with people older than me because i was performing with them. there was hope that i could keep at it and really be someone worth the respect of other performers. my brother and i are 19 years apart and his juggling partner was right in between us in age. for the short time i knew him, he was my brother and he created a perfect generational step ladder between the 3 of us. they were both adults so they did all the performing together, but sometimes i was involved and he gave me the hope that truly being a part of the act wasnt too far off for me. one day id be old enough to be someone and id be able to express myself to him. id be able to tell him i loved him. id finally be something more than a prop. he made it all so fucking achievable and then he was dead. no warning, no lead up, just a hospital phone call a few hours before he was gone and the gap widened once again. i needed closure so i got into my first relationship a few months later and traded love for shame and let him abuse me and treat me like a prop so long as it meant i had someone to hold and to say "i love you" to. i was an embarassment and someone who didnt get to say no, but i stayed because i was committed to the concept of love and because i hoped that if i just kept saying it then somehow the fact that i never got to say it to tyler would be easier to deal with. im glad my mom has juggling as her hobby now, but i just cant stand doing it around her. where it was once a hobby that made me hopeful i could one day be someone, it became a space i shared with the person who told 21-year-old me that i didnt deserve to be treated like an adult. it became a space where i was an adult with a curfew being introduced to people as someones daughter with a name i havent used since i was 10. it became a space where i was eternally doomed to be a prop. i hate how she tries to explain shit to me. ive been doing this longer than you and youre what pushed me to stop. i want to have a juggling partner of my own, i want to have someone who treats me like an equal and who i can be ME with. i want to have real conversations and not have to look over my shoulder to see if my moms listening like im fucking 15. i wish driving didnt scare me so bad and i feel like the biggest idiot in the world when i have big breakdowns at the thought of being behind the wheel because it is the one thing i have the power to change about myself that would drastically improve my situation and i just. cant. do it.

8,10,18,21,22 in the pride asks? especially 21 if its not too personal, as someone still in their mid teens any advice would be nice to read. also 26/27 since ur genderfluid, like do u like to switch between different terms or do u use gender netural terms all the time?

hi!! thanks for your questions <3

8. Describe your gender without using any words traditionally related to gender:

i dont wanna use the same answer twice but... im gonna: spin the wheel!! watch where it goes!! where will it stop? who the fuck knows!!

10. Something that gives you gender euphoria (whether you're cis or trans):

singing when i have a cold is fucking gorgeous. my range lowers so much and i can sing all the male musical theatre roles that i usually cant and its just- bloody hell its the best feeling ever!

18. How old where you when you got to attend your first Pride? Who did you go with?

so, ive actually never been to pride :( im going to one this year though, and im so excited!! its in july for some reason, but ive got time booked off work, a hotel booked in the city its in (because its like 2 ½ hours away from me) and a couple of outfit choices in the mail waiting to arrive!! so, to answer the q: ill be 19 (my current age anyway aha) and im actually going alone, because i dont have queer friends atm and my cishet friend probably wouldnt be seen dead at pride. my brothers mightve come if they could, but theyre travelling to america a few days before and wont be back for over a week :(

21. What message would you give to your younger self?

to me personally? keep your mouth shut. bide your time, wait until you have better circumstances. keep. your mouth. shut.

to anyone else? dont do that ^ be confident!! as long as its safe to do so, express yourself!! the truth about life is that people will always find faults with you. they will always nitpick, they will always judge. even if you hide yourself to blend in, there will always be something that someone will scour to find. as shitty as that sounds. so be yourself! if people stare, let them! being like everyone else is boring anyway, and although at first it might be lonely or scary, youll find your people <3

22. How do you usually celebrate Pride month?

i like to do it in "subtle" ways. i say subtle because theyre not super obvious, but theyre easy to spot too. i like to paint my nails rainbow and wear rainbow earrings (i recently got rainbow star earrings and theyre so cool!!), and ill usually do more extravagent makeup on fem days, like using coloured eyeliner or putting little stars on my cheeks. and, of course, this year ill be at a pride parade too!

26. How do you feel about the term partner rather than husband/girlfriend/etc?

27. What gender-neutral terms for yourself or others do you use (i.e. joyfriend)?

im gonna answer these two together :) so, i like partner a lot. its simple, but it gets the job done just the same as bf/gf etc. i personally like to switch/mix and match boyfriend and girlfriend as and when it feels right to me. i especially love when someone says "shes my boyfriend/hes my girlfriend" and if i ever come out as genderfluid to my brothers, id want them to introduce me like "shes my brother/hes my sister". of the two mismatched pairings, i prefer the female pronouns and male honorifics, but that might turn out to be a day-dependant thing

SINGAPORE – After an extended hiatus, Okay-pop boy band Shinee’s chief Onew is lastly again. The 34-year-old vocalist has been on a break for unspecified well being points since June 2023, however not too long ago introduced his return – and that he will probably be becoming a member of a brand new firm.  Whereas Onew continues to be a part of Shinee, the star mentioned in April that he could be leaving his long-time administration company SM Leisure – which debuted Shinee in 2009 – and has signed with the newly established Griffin Leisure for his solo ventures.  In an e-mail interview with The Straits Occasions, Onew says the transfer is to maintain himself on his toes as an alternative of remaining in his consolation zone.

We Go Up

Even on the verge of a pandemic that would close the whole world from each other for two years, I was lucky enough to be able to meet my favorite K-Pop idols in the most special leap day I had in my entire life. Every step of the way of being able to see them was just pure bliss. I had been a fan of theirs for almost two years and being able to see them in person, even from afar in the balcony section of New Frontier Theater, was the cherry on top. And even if one of the members had left already, seeing my ultimate bias and the other five would made me the happiest 14-year-old boy in the world who was able to see the soon-to-be one of the most popular groups in South Korea, NCT DREAM.

In 2016, they debuted as one of the youngest, if not the youngest K-Pop boy groups. NCT DREAM had an age range of 14 years old to 16 years old and debuted as a sub-unit of NCT, SM Entertainment’s most ambitious project yet. A boy group with no limits to their membership, NCT DREAM is the third sub-unit introduced in NCT, the first being NCT U, which debuted in April of that year, and NCT 127, which debuted in July. NCT DREAM was introduced to the world with a graduation system where members would be leaving or “graduating” from the group after they reach the age of 21 in South Korea, and be replaced with new members, keeping the group young and dynamic.

NCT DREAM is composed of 7 members, namely Mark Lee and Lee Haechan, both being members of NCT 127, Huang Renjun, Lee Jeno, Na Jaemin, Zhong Chenle, and Park Jisung. All members come from varied backgrounds. Mark comes all the way from the bustling city of Vancouver, Renjun comes from the humble town of Jilin in Northern China, Chenle from busy Shanghai, and Jeno, Jaemin, Haechan, and Jisung coming from the home of K-Pop itself. The group is renowned, for me at least, for their closely knitted relationship that resembles a brotherhood, which can be attributed to their debuting as young teens, as well as their music, dancing capabilities, etc. From their debut to 2018, they released 3 Mini-Albums and numerous singles all throughout, namely their debut single “Chewing Gum,” following this, NCT DREAM had to resume activities as 6 members without Jaemin as he had to rest because of severe back pain. They released their first mini-album “The First” without Jaemin in February of 2017, with the title track “My First and Last” winning at “The Show” 3 times in a row, making them the first NCT sub-unit to win an award and the youngest K-pop group at the time to win a “triple crown.” Following the success of their previous comeback, they released the mini-album We Young in August 2017, and released their final mini-album as a 7-member group being “We Go Up” in August 2018.

Being the eldest out of the septet, Mark had graduated from the group in January of 2019 when he turned 21 in the Korean age system, joining NCT 127 full time and leaving the 6 remaining. NCT DREAM moved on as a 6-member group, 6Dream as fans would like to call them. They released a collaboration with british artist HRVY in May without Haechan due to his schedule in NCT 127. They had a comeback as 6Dream, releasing another Mini-Album titled “We Boom” in July, which charted well, even better than their previous comeback as 7 members. They then kicked off their first ever world tour, “The Dream Show” in October of that year starting off in Seoul, and going around Asia, including Manila, which I attended. The groups’ four members who were set to graduate in 2020’s graduation had been delayed for the sake of the world tour. The group was set to perform in Singapore in mid-march when the COVID-19 pandemic had broken out around the world. Shops were closing, people were panic-buying for goods in supermarkets, and the world shut down.

But for them, the world kept moving, just slower than usual pace. After a few emotional ments during the world tour where the members talk about the graduation system, the system was abolished in April 2020 and announced that Mark was set to return to the group after one more comeback. 6Dream would release their last Mini-Album as 6 members on April 29 with “Ridin’.” After its release, Ridin’ was in the top 10 on all of South Korea’s streaming charts, even beating out BTS’s “On” immediately following its release. This was the start of their steady rise to fame in South Korea, solidifying their place in the history of K-Pop with their comeback as 7Dream in 2021. They released their first full-length album, “Hot Sauce” on May 10, 2021 with the return of Mark to the group, and this comeback took South Korea by storm, racking up around 1 million copies of the physical album sold within a week, which has not been done before with the exception of BTS. They proceeded to release a repackage album titled “Hello Future” on June 28, another full-length album titled “Glitch Mode” in March of 2022, its repackage “Beatbox” being released in May, a special Christmas mini-album with “Candy,” a remake of the famous song by H.O.T., SM Entertainment’s first boygroup, which also trended in South Korea during the Christmas season. They released the latest full album last July 17, 2023, with the album “ISTJ” with the title track of the same name. NCT DREAM is now one of the most popular groups in South Korea and this success can be attributed to their never-ending hardwork, perseverance, and dedication these past 8 years. They maintained stability even in the hardest times because they got each other to help themselves go up the ladder.

Flirting isn't for me

I tried flirting, YES I know it's not a big thing for you but IT IS FOR ME. I am 21 years old now and I admit that I am starting to think that indeed I am antiromantic btch. so here's the story. I am yes a GHORL. I would say I do only crushes in the past years of my life and yes NBSB (No boyfriend since birth) kinda vibes.

The whole fiasco of this pandemic I was living in my small comfortable room and doing online classes and plates and shit, and countless of crying over a spilled coffee blablabla. August came and that is the official face-to-face classes of the year whatever fastforward. 1st term starts and the first major subj was this and that and my friends and I had been simping over this dude (as a joke) cus yes he cute or whatevah and after a weeks or two idk after party happen in our department and ddl are near but we don't care cuz we need to boost ourselves and party. that time at the party coincidentally this dude we're simping now my "crush", Yes I'm sorry I get really attached to people when I find them ok and start fantasizing and the feeling follows. Anyways i don't want to go on the details of what rlly happen at the party but it was fun ANYWAY. My fcollege friends presssured me to chat him in messenger just to ask him whats the name of the guy they introduced to us last night. AND SO THIS FOLLOWS ME trying to flirt text him giving him cheesy lines the obv. not my doing.. MY FRIEND is the one who keeps tally on what I should reply and what i shouldn't do and all that time I was ofc having butterflies but at the same time disgust or whatever OVERALL it was all uncomfortable for me to do because maybe I am not used to talking to guys malice of just being more than friends, OKAY? I am not used to this, so every possible cringe scenario you could think of was not me, I say it was Sharon, the hoe, the alter ego of mine doing all that crazyy stuff.

It was as if I was the guy and he was the girl I was trying to pursue, i felt weird and my pride went oop- so yuh drunk text came and the tipsy was me. I chatted him on msgr and say these very stupid line (trns. eng) "is it okay if I like you and you like me too" and my world started to crumble since then, but he just replied to me "are u drunk?" and so i said no any way he redirected the topic to something else so I was disappointed, and the more I try to cultivate some info abt him the more I realize I don't like him, and we're not a match and we won't click ever. so I stopped. OFC I was sad at the moment because heres the plot twist.

BBtch he like my other friend in shs and now in college likeeeee dude. I was maaaaaaaad like why did he not tell me that he liked someone else whilst I was talking to him nonstop atm. Gurlllll that was the flag I've been looking like I tot he's not some other dude who do shit but HE'S THE DUDE THAT DOES SHIT. WTF. and so I stop, I ranted to my friends and so they did and the end. BTCH u tot that was it??

so here another story.

My other friend saw this flower lying around on the table at school which is a flower that u specifically serve on a death table, you know that white one.

I was typically the crazy hoe who would suggest "oooh let's give this to a random guy and act as if we're flirting" teehee. atm we both didn't wear our glasses on so we can't see shit nor read shit and heres another plot twist, HE WAS THE GUY who received the fuking flowers and i just wanna say i wanna get hit by a bus and truck, a car, a bike anything JUST LET ME GO BYE BYE. That was the most embarrassing thing I've ever did because I ghosted him! and I kno he didn't care that I stop talking to him and then here it is.

The other plot twist! He drunk text me, he apologize for getting my flowers when he is the one who fuckkin get it out of my hands when in fact his bff should be the one to receive it. So anyway I told him the truth abt the flower thing and it's like a reverse uno has been played and I was the one who wasn't interested talking to him blablabla that was the end haha

And this is when I realized flirting isn't for me.

[hexachloro12butadiene]

while I love the project sekai story as is and think it’s fun having everyone in the same town and high school, I also think it’d be super cool to have more variety in ages, etc. anyways it’s the kind of thing I would write one of those huge in depth au fics for if I was into that kind of thing, but I’m more of a one-shot and leave it kinda person so instead I’ll write out my thoughts here.

Leo/Need

leave them the same lol. Leo/Need’s story is obviously very focused on the whole high school thing so changing it doesn’t make sense.

Vivid Bad Squad

honestly I’d say leave them the same but also it’s be funny if they were college students. akitoya have been performing together since high school still. kohane’s parents freaking out because their little girl went off to college and went wild. actually it’d be great if akito, Toya, and an are all from the area but kohane’s from some little town in miyagi or something. she’s got a bumpkin dialect.

More More Jump

listen. they’re the reason I started this thought process. there ARE plenty of high school idols and even middle school idols but the amount of drama and leaving and coming back it would make so much more sense for them to be older. and also! you can introduce so many more interesting subtleties by having them older. I think it would be interesting for Shizuku to be the oldest, and her to have “aged out” of being an idol at around 25 because she “looks too old” but after graduating realizes she still loves it and wants to come back. Airi, a bit younger, could keep her same story of having been pushed into variety. Haruka is then the youngest of the 3, and graduated early at like 21 for the same reasons as in the story. meanwhile, Minori is still a high schooler. Giving that age difference makes it more realistic for her to have looked up to the other ones as a kid. plus idol groups with wide age ranges are super fun!!! there’s a lot of shock to it in the actual story as well but having these three 20+ veteran idols be like we’re back and our BFF is a high schooler would be SO funny. bonuses to this change is it ups the age difference between Shizuku and Shiho to ~10 years which I think is SUPER interesting.

Wonderlands x showtime

ALSO want to age these guys up. nene has achieved some level of notoriety as an actress before her downfall. emu, like her siblings, is involved with management of Phoenix Wonderland but she still has her same personality and disagreements with them. Rui is Local Deranged Man. But the funniest thing is, by far, Tsukasa. Instead of this high schooler running around proclaiming his own greatness while getting no roles it is. A fully grown man. Just like with Shizuku, this would exaggerate his difference with Saki and let me tell u I have seen how 4 year olds act around their newborn siblings and yeah Tsukasa would kill or die for saki.

Nightcord

LET! THEM! LIVE! IN DIFFERENT PLACES!!!

when have you EVER had a group of four online friends all live in the same town? NEVER

if they live in separate places, that makes the sekai itself even more special as a meet up place because. it’s the only way they get to see each other. also we’re changing their ages too. kanade is an adult & the oldest but still the least capable of taking care of herself. constantly gets mistaken for a middle schooler. mafuyu is still a high schooler because that’s too integral to her story. I feel like her being the youngest of the group also emphasizes her prodigy vibes and ena’s annoyance and admiration of her. ena is going to art school, and unlike Akito she moved away to a different town. he’s the only member of her family that she calls. she loves and hates art school all at once. mizuki.... so I actually feel this is super fun for mizuki? the others don’t know SHIT about mizuki. their age, gender, job/school status, where they live, etc. it’s SO much easier to keep your life hidden when you never see each other irl. when they discover the sekai for the first time, mizuki has a panic attack afterwards about having been Seen.

————

so those are my thoughts... I get that if it were done this way it’d be harder to have everyone meet & be friends but I also think some of the relationships could be interesting (Nene retires to be a vocal instructor & takes ichika and minori as students? emu meeting mafuyu at some volunteer event and not having the “you’re older than me” excuse, mizuki & rui being online friends since middle school and having so so so much dirt on each other. they don’t know each other’s real names., etc.) I also think it’d be super fun to have them interacting with vocaloids who are younger than them. akito and meiko sitting at the bar watching the kagamines up to some shenanigans like Is This What High Schoolers Do Now but then kaito joins in and it’s like ah no. they’re just idiots.

hmmm tumblr might’ve broken the post so I’ll stop here and see if it’s posts correctly or not.

My Bodyguard is a Ninja? (Sonic x Reader) - Chapter 1

Summary: You are the daughter of multi-millionaire Zeniru. A young talented girl, 21 years old, with a special gift for music and art, you enjoy your lifestyle and you love your father very much. But then one day, your father hires a ninja as a bodyguard, who has his own little secrets to reveal to you, and soon, you find that you're growing quite fond of him. Will you find the courage to confess your feelings to him, and how can you anticipate his next movements?

____________________________________________________

Chapter 1 - First Meeting

"Where is it?" I slowly start to panic as I turn my whole desk upside down. My piano recital is in three weeks, but the score that I had planned to use for the performance is nowhere to be found. I could have sworn that I had left it on my desk, but it's not here anymore. I've checked every possible place I could have left it: my bag, my closet, even in my portable keyboard case. But I came out empty-handed every time.  "Okay (Y/N), calm down." I whisper to myself. "I know I had it yesterday while I was practicing...hrm. Maybe I should ask Father...he's usually in the same room as the grand piano, so maybe he's seen it." Even though my father Zeniru isn't always reliable for helping me find things, it was worth going and asking him anyway. We have a grand piano in one of our rooms, and I've seen him frequently in there, even when I'm not playing. 

I tuck a lock of my hair behind my ear and fix up the top buttons of my shirt as I go down to find my father, only to run into our butler. He jumps when he sees me approaching.  "Ah! M-Miss (Y/N)! What are you doing here?" he asks nervously. Why is he acting like that? "Um, is my father in there?" I ask, "I need to talk to him." "Uh, I'm sorry but he's in a meeting!" he almost blurted out. I frown. The last time he made that excuse it wasn't even true. With an eyeroll I slip past and open the door, ignoring him when he calls, "Miss (Y/N), wait, you can't-!" I honestly do not care what he has to say. Without a second thought, I walk in and start to question my father, who as usual was wearing a bath robe.  "Hey, Daddy? Have you seen my piano score-?" I start to ask, but then I stop and my eyes fall upon the young stranger standing opposite my father with his arms crossed.  He has black hair tied up in a messy topknot, and purple tattoos under his grey eyes. He is dressed in a skin tight black bodysuit with metal plating on his chest, waist, shoulders arms and shins, with a long purple scarf and a katana strapped to his back. His eyes are immediately on me, and suddenly I feel slightly nervous. He may look peculiar, yet I have never seen such fine features.  "U-um...I'm sorry..." I mumble, feeling the heat in my face. I'm about to back away before my father energetically calls to me. "Ah, (Y/N)! Seeing as you're here, why don't you come in and meet our new bodyguard?" "Bodyguard?" I repeat, looking back at the young man. This guy is our new bodyguard?  "Um...o-okay..." I reluctantly walk into the room, and stand beside my father as he somewhat proudly presents me to the newcomer. It's strange. I haven't been in this situation since I was little. I would usually just bow and leave, or stand closer to his side without saying a word, but I'm assuming that my father wants me to actually speak with this guy, even though I'm still not that much of a pro at interacting with men, and I tend to be shy around strangers. Not that it stops my father from showing me off to people. "Sonic," he says to the stranger, "Let me introduce you to my lovely daughter, (Y/N). (Y/N), this is Sonic. He's going be our new bodyguard. Go on, now. Introduce yourself." "U-um, yes. It's nice to meet you, Sonic-san." I say politely with a smile. He smiles at me in return and instantly takes my hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you, too, Miss (Y/N). I look forward to being under your father's service. I hope the two of us can get along well..." He kisses my hand, and a giggle suddenly escapes me. I must admit, this Sonic person does have some charm, which I surprisingly like.  "Th-thank you." I say, withdrawing my hand.  "By the way...is this what you were looking for earlier?" he asks me, and in a heartbeat I see a paper booklet held in front of my face between his fingers. I take it and immediately recognise it. "My music score!" I gasp. "How did-?!" "It was open on the piano over there," he replies nodding over the grand piano in the room. I knew I left it somewhere.  "Thank you, Sonic-san. I appreciate it." I quickly say with a bow. Suddenly I feel my face getting unusually warmer than normal. Wait...am I...am I about to blush?

Quickly excusing myself, I hurry out of the room and escape to my bedroom. As soon as the door is closed, I drop to the floor on my knees, hugging the score to my chest for dear life. My face is heating up unbelievably quickly.  I can't believe that I'm saying this, but...this new bodyguard, Sonic, he's charming for sure, and I feel like he has a mysterious, shadow-like vibe to him too, which, funnily enough, I find so cool. But most of all...Sonic is so darn cute. But wait, we've only just met, though. I'm sure he knows that a personal relationship could breach the fine line of professionalism. Besides, there's no way I could be falling for someone like him already. That's just stupid!  ...Right?

howdy jac! i noticed jack is trans in i'll try to talk refined! do you have any backstory for him realizing he's trans, etc etc? (coming from someone who's nonbinary/ig trans lol)

okay so !! as you can probably tell, jack being trans isn't like. a Huge part of the story, it's just me projecting something that i wanted to showcase ?? i guess ?? there is a Lack of trans jack content and i want to rectify that

i am not trans, but i had. a similar experience figuring out that im nonbinary so !! yeah

that being said, here are some hcs!! (also i use he/him throughout, even describing things before he came out, just to clarify!)

ok so in this au, jack was adopted by medda around the age of ?? 11 or 12 !

he went through a few rough years (undiagnosed ADHD and PTSD, family trauma, the usual) and, during that time, he just. wasn't happy at all

he hated the world, he hated himself, blah blah

but over time, he starts meeting new friends at school (race and charlie) who take him in and give him something to be happy about, something to look forward to.

this happens when he's 13-14! and it's around this time that, thanks to Charlie and Race, he's,, ok not "introduced" to the queer community but he understands it a lot better

i always imagine that Jack would have been raised in a fairly religious/traditional household before being adopted (traditional values, not traditional parenting skills, bc lets face it: jack's family SUCKED)

and because Race and Charlie help him out, he starts learning all this stuff and learning labels and gender/sexuality issues.

at fifteen he comes out as bi, but he still doesn't feel,, right? like he feels BETTER and he's starting to feel HAPPY but there's still something off

and that's when he starts questioning his gender identity, because he's never felt attached to like,, "feminine" things. he's never felt comfortable in certain clothes, he feels weird introducing himself, he just feels ,, bad

after like !! a year of trying to figure things out, he goes to medda and talks to her about it, and he expects her to be confused, he expects her to ask questions, but the only question she asks is, "what are your pronouns, and what is your name?"

obviously his school friends don't really care, they're happy and supportive!!

he gets his first binder, a new wardrobe, a haircut, and he feels completely happy for the first time.

ALSO okay so in the fic, Davey and Jack are around the 23-24 year old range

i imagine jack got top surgery around age 21, just so he could save up money and stuff, and he's been on T since he was 17.

OVERALL he's happy and he's out and tbh the family stuff was harder for him to process than being trans so !! yeah

also disclaimer idk if any of this is gonna be included in the fic bc jack being trans isn't part of the plot (he is Just Existing) BUT here you go !!! thank u sm for the ask !!!
