Note

I've been reading your hcs and noticed that we might share some similar taste in music!! If you could, which artists would you recommend to each of the Obey Me characters?

Hi! Thank you leaving me a request. I'll use some of my favorite artists (top 25 or so most listened to artists) here so you can see what kind of artists I usually listen to! I'll also include other artists that I may not listen that much myself but I think fits the vibe.

Lucifer

Fiona Apple

Example lyrics:

I have never been so insulted in all my life

I could swallow the seas to wash down all this pride

First you run like a fool just to be at my side

And now you run like a fool but you just run to hide

I can't abide

Others: Doesn't he like, love classical music? He'd probably like classical musicians from the human world too, like Vivaldi, Bach, Debussy or Beethoven. When he's feeling risque, he might switch up to jazz, who knows.

Mammon

Måneskin

Example lyrics

Oh, mamma-mia ma, ma-mamma-mia, ah

They treat me like if I did something criminal

All eyes on me I feel like I'm a superstar

I'm not a freak, I just thought it was a carnival

Others: Mammon likes anything that gets you to dance, whether it's pop, rock, hiphop or something else. He'd like anything that's trending on TikTok. Maybe stuff like Lil Nas X or Willow, but also has a secret soft spot for stuff like Ricky Montgomery, Conan Gray and Harry Styles.

Leviathan

宇宙ネコ子 (Uchū Nekoko)

Example lyrics (translated from Japanese->English)

Living in a manga world

Without any difficulties

Devil lies dormant within my days

You looked into me

Barely laughing at those feelings

Barely showing a smile

Others: Levi would love all j-pop and k-pop. Also Vocaloid and video game music. He'd probably prefer girl bands, like Dreamcatcher, BLACKPINK or TWICE.

Satan

Mitski

Example lyrics:

So if you need to be mean

Be mean to me

I can take it and put it inside of me

If your hands need to break

More than trinkets in your room

You can lean on my arm

As you break my heart

Others: I feel like Satan would have an eclectic music taste. He'd like a lot of different genres, but tends to stick with the same artists for a long time. I can see him vibing to St. Vincent or Bon Iver though, so maybe indie mostly? He'd also love to listen to rock and alternative whenever he's pissed off.

Asmodeus

Taylor Swift

Example lyrics:

What must it be like

To grow up that beautiful?

With your hair falling into place like dominoes

My mind turns your life into folklore

I can't dare to dream about you anymore

Others: Honestly, any pop girlie, especially Ariana Grande, Dua Lipa and Doja Cat. Also femal rappers like Nicki Minaj, Lizzo, Cupcakke (botn ironically and unironically) and Cardi B.

Beelzebub

The Orion Experience

Example lyrics:

Cookie, I wanna be the flicker that sparks your red-hot cinnamon smile

Wild cherry, pixie stix, can I get a little fix?

Once you get me fired up, I don't know when to quit

Others: I feel like he's be down with some rnb and hiphop. Frank Ocean came to my mind first. Would also like some late 90s to 00s rock bands, like The Killers, The Strokes and Franz Ferdinand.

Belphegor

Mother Mother

Example lyrics:

Back in the head where I see red

Where the beast and the beauty coalesce

I give in to a morbid fantasy

Death to a billion families and me

Others: He'd love emo and alternative bands from the 00s and 10s, like My Chemical Romance, Good Charlotte, Green Day, Fall Out Boy and Panic! At the Disco. He actually likes Olivia Rodrigo but would never admit that.

Diavolo

Queen

Example lyrics:

Here we stand or here we fall

History won't care at all

Make the bed, light the light

Lady Mercy won't be home tonight

Others: Diavolo would like all music from the human world, but I think the would prefer upbeat songs. Maybe rnb or soul, like Beyoncé, maybe The Weeknd? Janelle Monáe?

Barbatos

Regina Spektor

Example lyrics:

And somewhere on the hill

Inside the past we hear the bells

Catching only parts of thoughts

And fragmens of ourselves

'Til we begin again

Others: Again, isn't it canon that Babratos likes metal music? I'm from Finland so there were and stil are a lot of cool metals bands in here, like Nightwish, Amorphis, Children of Bodom, Sentenced and HIM.

Simeon

Flower Face

Example lyrics:

You laugh like an angel

With comatose love in your eyes

Like a sleeping city

You put me to rest in your gravestone chest

Tell me I've never looked so pretty

Others: I feel like Simeon would like a lot of older music (50s-80s) and indie folk. He's totally love The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac and Bee Gees but also Fleet Foxes and Sufjan Stevens.

Solomon

Wolf Alice

Example lyrics:

A moment's madness

Compliments your innocence

I tried all night to initiate

And I only ever try to have fun

I'm only old when I don't feel young

And if you're with me, yeah

You can come, yeah, along

Others: Solomon would like a lot of different music too. He'd also absolutely watch The Eurovision Song Contest every year. I think he'd usually go for rock, pop, psychedelic stuff or punk. I could see him listening to Paramore, Radiohead, Gorillaz and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.

Luke

ABBA

Example lyrics:

Chiquitita, tell me the truth

I'm a shoulder you can cry on

Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on

You were always so sure of yourself

Now I see you've broken a feather

I hope we can patch it up together

Others: Disney sounds tracks! Just generally lighter, chill music. Pop, lo-fi or folk mostly. Also gospel/worship music. Maybe orchestral/instrumental to seem more mature. Also jams to older music with Simeon. Examples: Cavetown, Lord Huron..

5,000 question survey series-part thirty-two

Sooo, I’ve been inspired by @iaintgotcontrol to start this back up again. It’s been two years now, so I guess I should probably try and finish this finally. Here we go....

3001. What is your half-birthday? January 28th.

3002. When is your un-birthday? Any day other than July 28th? 3003. Do you like movies about: time travel? the 80's? drugs? crazy people? --I’d refer to them as psychological thrillers. halucinations? aeroplanes? death? life? the meaning of life? fate? 3004. If you said yes to any of the above you should see Donnie Darko. If you HAVE seen it, what'd you think? I’ve seen it, but it’s been several years. I remember thinking it was pretty trippy. 3005. If you were going to write a book what would it be about? I have no idea.

3006. Is radio obsolete? No, but it seems like it would be now with things like Spotify and such and the ability to play your own music in most cars. I never listen to the radio anymore. 3007. Do you feel like you are entitled to have things without working for them? I don’t expect things to just be handed to me. 3008. If yes than why do you believe you feel this way? 3009. If no, have you noticed that a lot of people around you feel this way? No, but I’ve known people like that. 3010. If yes than why do you believe they feel this way? *shrug* Ask ‘em. 3011. "An eight track sterio, a color tv in every room and a half a pievce of dope everyday. That's the american dream, nigga'" How do you feel about the above quote? Well, we do like our technology and want the finer things/luxuries in life. I can’t say that I don’t enjoy my laptop and iPhone. However, that’s not all I want out of life. I want more. My life now is too revolved around those things. I want to be able to do more and get out of this little bubble. 3012. What is it from? I had to Google it. It’s from some movie called Superfly. 3013. What year is it from? Like 1975 I think it said. 3014. Do you believe that you will someday be famous? Nope and that’s fine. 3015. What is YOUR IDEA of success? Achieving something I’ve worked for, doing something I enjoy, and being able to provide for myself. 3016. Do you believe that you will be successful? I hope so, but it’s hard to see that right now. 3017. Will you be successful without hard work? I don’t believe so. I’m not doing anything right now with my life and nothing is happening, which I obviously wouldn’t expect it to. Life continues to just pass me by and I’m not achieving anything. 3018. What brings you bad luck? I don’t believe in luck. Is it true that you: 3019. Claim to be goth, punk, prep, emo or any other lable? No. 3020. Claim that your opinion is RIGHT? If something is my opinion then obviously it’s what I think and believe, but I’m so close-minded to where I’m not open to other opinions and interpretations of things. Some things I do stand firm in, though. Also, just because I may think something is right, it doesn’t necessarily mean I think it’s right for everyone. Some things are right for me. It really just depends. 3021. claim that your religion is RIGHT? That’s one of those things where I stand firm. It’s what I believe. 3022. Claim to be a fan of a band when you really only like a few songs? No. I’ll say that I just like a few of their songs. 3023. Do ANYTHING to fit in or be accepted by ANYONE? No, not anything. At this point I’m just kind of like, ‘look, this is me. Take it or leave it.’ 3024. REFUSE to listen to the ideas or thoughts of others? No. 3025. tell others to shut up? Jokingly.

3026. say I HATE (insert any band)? I have said that, sure. 3027. say I HATE (insert anything)? Yeah.

3028. Only appreciate certain things that you LIKE? Uhh. I don’t know if I only appreciate things that I like. Obviously things that I like I’ll probably care about more and have more interest in, but they’re not the only things I appreciate. I think the wording throws me off a bit in this question or I’m thinking too much about it. 3029. like only one style of music? No. 3030. like only one style of clothes? No. 3031. hate a style of music? I’m really not a fan of dubstep or clubhouse type music. 3032. hate life? :/

3033. Is it true that you: Okay the following questions should be part of this question, not have this be a question by itself but whatever. 3034. don't listen when parents, elders or authorities talk? Not true. 3035. do everything parents, elders and authoritys tell you? Not always, but a lot of the time. I mean I’m not just going to do everything. 3036. do things or want things because it looked cool on mtv? When I was younger. I don’t care about that kind of stuff anymore. 3037. hate everyone? lol no. Just myself, ha. 3038. hate everything? No.

3039. hate disco? No. 3040. hate rap? No. 3041-3045 These question is for the guys: Okay... You are at her home with her. Both of you have drank a little wine, enough to loosen the inhibitions while not getting tipsy. You have snugled on the couch and it's a good time for bed. You've been romantic, but you've not made any big moves on her. You're not sure if you are up to a night of love making or even if she's in the mood. She goes to the bedroom to put on something more comfortable... When she returns she is wearing an outfit that looks great on her and you notice that she has her hands tied in front of her, with a scrunchee... She stands in front of you and giggles nerviously. You search for words to express how you feel, but before you can get any words out she gets on her knees in front of you and reachs out to hold your hand with both of hers. Your eyes find hers... 3041. How do you react to this? 3042. What message do you think she is sending? 3043. What do you do next? 3044. Is this a good way for her to approach her fantasy with you? 3045. If not, what would be a better way for her to approach you about wanting to be controled during sex(consider that just outright talking about it might be hard for her)? 3046-3050 These questions is for the girls: You are at his home with him. Both of you have drank a little wine, enough to loosen the inhibitions while not getting tipsy. You have snugled on the couch and it's a good time for bed. You've been romantic, but you've not made any big moves on him. You're not sure if you are up to a night of love making or even if he's in the mood. He goes to the bedroom to put on something more comfortable... When he returns she is wearing an outfit that looks great on him. He sits next to you. You kiss and kiss. You move your hands down his body to his chest and start unbuttoning his shirt but he stops you and whispers seductively..'A good slave unbuttons them with her teeth..and you do want to be my slave, don't you?' 3046. What do you do? EW that would be a major mood killer and turn off. I’d initially be taken aback and kind of laugh at first thinking maybe he was joking. I’d hope he was joking. Otherwise, nah it’s over.

3047. How do you react to this? Like I said, I think I would think he was joking at first. If he wasn’t, then I’d feel very uncomfortable. The mood would be over for me. We could try talking about it or do something else, otherwise I’d probably just want to leave. 3048. What message do you think he is sending? That he was into things that I wasn’t comfortable with. I don’t want like the dominant/submissive thing. 3049. Is this a good way for him to approach his fantasy with you? No. I’m not into being controlled like that. 3050. If not, what would be a better way for him to appraoch you about wanting to be in control during sex(consider that just outright talking about it might be hard for him)? I really don’t know. It’s hard for me to even think about this and put myself in that hypothetical situation because I’m a virgin. I don’t know how to go about that kind of stuff. I just know I wouldn’t be comfortable with it and I’d have to tell him that. Hopefully he would respect it and we could either try something else or just end the night and accept it didn’t work out. Is it true that you... 3051. are politically correct? I try to be.

3052. are too nice to say how you feel? Yes.

3053. don't think the world government affects you? That would be very ignorant.

3054. think that all people who are fat are ugly? Wow, absolutely not. 3055. think all people who are thin are shallow? Again, absolutely not. 3056. think you are getting solid information from advertisements? Ha, nooo. Obviously they’re going to make their products look good and there’s going to be bias.

3057. don't research the products you use? False. I always read reviews.

3058. believe that the lives of the people you love are somehow more important than the lives of the 6 billion other peeople in the world? Questions like these are really difficult to answer. Just because I don’t know someone it doesn’t mean I don’t care. I have a heart and care just as one human being to another. I don’t like seeing other people hurt, it makes me sad. I empathize and sympathize with others. But also my loved ones are the most important people to me and I will always have their back first and foremost. That doesn’t mean I don’t care about others, though.

3059. believe that the lives of your country men or woman are somehow more valuble than the lives of people from other countries? No. 3060. believe your ideas are somehow worth more than the ideas of others? No.

3061. repress things rather than deal with them? A lot of the times, yes. These surveys are great for letting things out and venting, though.

3062. mindlessly self indulge ? Yes.

3063. think there is only one right way? No, definitely not. Things aren’t so black and white.

3064. think that this one right way could possibly be right for ALL of the 6 billion people on this planet? No. It’s like I said in the beginning of this survey: some things are just right for me. 3065. Decide something is UNTRUE just because you don't AGREE with it or you don't LIKE it? Not necessarily. I don’t always like or agree with what I think is true. 3066. What do you think of the out-dated chinese custom of foot-binding (tieing a baby girl's toes under her foot, even if you have to break the bone, making her walk with her toes under her foot(or hobble) because chinease men like small fett)? That sounds awful. I’m not familiar with that or know if it’s still being practiced. 3067. What do you think of plastic surgery? It can be good in some cases. 3068. Is there a difference between foot binding and plastic surgery? What? Well, if the foot binding is being done to babies and children then it’s being done against their will and that’s the difference. People who get plastic surgery choose to do so and are able to make that decision for themselves. Are there any similarities between foot-binding and plastic surgery? What? I guess in that it’s making a physical change to the body? However, at least with plastic surgery it can be done in a way that’s safe (for the most part, obviously that isn’t always the case). 3069. Would you be likely to continue reading a book that began: 'It was a bright, defrosted, pussy-willow day at the onset of Spring, and the newlyweds were driving cross-country in a large roast turkey.'? Uh. I’d be like wtf and probably skim a few pages to see where it was going. 3070. If I don't quit smoking then I will sing a song. Okay.

If I sing a song then I either play an instrument or run a mile. I do not play an instrument or run a mile. Therefore I quit smoking. Is this a valid argument? What.

3071. What came first, the acorn or the tree? The tree. 3072. What is surrealism? An art movement. Think of that melting clocks art piece.

If you were putting together a surrealist work of art, what would you do? I have no idea. 3073. What did you do on Halloween? Last year I stayed home with takeout and watched the Halloween and Scream movies. 3074. Some bees have made a comfortable nest for the winter inside your air conditionar. How would you remove the air conditioner from the window? I don’t have an AC like that, ours throughout the house. But anyway, if I did, I wouldn’t remove it. I’d have to get someone else who deals with that kind of thing to do it. 3075. Why is quiet contemplation important? It’s good to just sit and really think about things before making a decision without distractions. 3076. Do you spend lots of time in quiet contemplation? How about any time? My mind is always thinking about everything and anything. Even when I’m alone it feels so loud because my mind won’t shut up and it’s hard to concentrate. If not, what distracts you? My jumbled mine more than anything. 3077. What is the lowest you have ever felt? These past few years since graduating college. 3078. Who has changed your life dramatically for the better? Ty played an important role in my life at one time. 3079. Is all you christmas shopping done? It’s April. I don’t star that early. 3080. Who is the greatest writer you can think of and why? There’s many. 3081. Are people either good or evil? No, not always. No one is perfect. 3082. Can people be BOTH good an evil? Evil is extreme and only certain kinds of people fall into the category of being purely evil. 3083. Is there good in a rapist or a murderer? That’s really, really, really hard to see good in someone like that. 3084. You are in a classroom setting. A teacher has asked for a surrealist project. One person comes in with cards. Each card has a picture. Some of the pictures are a breast, a penis, a urinal, open heart surgery, a woman sucking on a vaccum tube, etc. On the back of each picture is a phrase like 'Fuck you and all of your lesbian fish eating friends' or 'people who speak in metaphors oughtta shampoo my crotch'. The artist asks each person to take a random card, go around the room and at their turn hold up the card with the picture side out and read the phrase on the back. Would you do it? Omg. I’d feel so awkward and uncomfortable reading any of that out loud in front of people. People who know me know I don’t talk like that. Not to say I never cuss, but I’m someone who has never cussed around their family at all. I’m the quiet, shy girl. Only my friends have heard that. For me to read those out loud would be surprising for people. How would you feel about it? ^^^^ What do you think the artist's intent is? Shock value. 3085. Are you satisfied? No. 3087. How fast do you drive? I don’t drive. 3088. What do you want that you don't need? A rodeo chicken sandwich and cheesy tots from Burger King. Haha. 3089. What do you have that you wish you didn't? Health problems. 3090. What does it mean when someone suggests that you don't own your possettions, they own you? I instantly think of technology and how it’s taken over our lives. We’ve become very dependent upon them and our lives revolve around it. 3091. Where do you get motivation? Good question. Let me know. 3092. Did you ever wanna get with one of your teachers? Nooo.

Did you ever actually get with one? Nooo. 3093. Have you ever had this happen, where one day you completely believe one thing and the next day you don't believe it anymore? Probably a story in the news or something where information came out later that proved or disproved something or made me change my opinion on the subject. If yes, do you lie about your change of beliefs in order to appear consistant? I think I’m generally pretty consistent with that. 3094. Do you hide things about yourself from others? Yes.

If so why? I don’t feel comfortable about it.

Is it because you are afriad they will be scared? With some things, yes.

Or because YOU are scarred? With some things. 3095. Do you recognize that some part of you is evil or do you feel like you are all good? I don’t think I’m all good. I don’t think anyone is. However, I don’t think that means you’re evil either. It’s like I said, I reserve that word for very certain type of people. 3096. If everyone were flying flags and putting up yellow ribbons in honor of the people who died in a war and someone put up black bows and ribbons all over the top of therir house what would you think? I would think they were protesting or maybe mourning? Would you want them to take it down? I don’t think it would bother me unless they were being vocally disrespectful or something.

Why? I mean, it’s their house they can put them up if they want it’s not bothering me. I would be curious, though. 3097. Is a foot massage meaningless or does it have implications? Uh, I wouldn’t say it’s meaningless? And what implications, exactly? I mean, I guess it could. It would depend entirely on the situation. For some it’s just that--a foot massage. It’s relaxing for them. 3098. Are you sick of technology yet? No, but it definitely can be annoying and frustrating. 3099. After tattoos and piercings, I believe the next big thing will be implants (horns, metal plates, etc) and after that will come genetic alteration (wings, purple skin, etc). Would you have any of this done to you? No thanks.

Would you let your kids have it done? No. When they’re adults they can make that decision for themselves, but I wouldn’t allow a child to do something like that.

What do you think the next big thing in body modification would be? *shrug* 3100. What's the most insulting thing you could come up with to say to someone? Something that they feel really insecure about.

TIME DOESN’T HEAL

This is going to be a very long post and I would love to read it over and over again. It was painful and timeless at the same time. This conversation is hold between an Rolling stone and Pk.

In her first-ever in-depth interview, Michael Jackson's daughter discusses her father's pain and finding peace after addiction and heartache

Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson is staring at a famous corpse. "That's Marilyn Monroe," she whispers, facing a wall covered with gruesome autopsy photos. "And that's JFK. You can't even find these online." On a Thursday afternoon in late November, Paris is making her way through the Museum of Death, a cramped maze of formaldehyde-scented horrors on Hollywood Boulevard. It's not uncommon for visitors, confronted with decapitation photos, snuff films and serial-killer memorabilia, to faint, vomit or both. But Paris, not far removed from the emo and goth phases of her earlier teens, seems to find it all somehow soothing. This is her ninth visit. "It's awesome," she had said on the way over. "They have a real electric chair and a real head!"

Paris Jackson turned 18 last April, and moment by moment, can come across as much older or much younger, having lived a life that's veered between sheltered and agonizingly exposed. She is a pure child of the 21st century, with her mashed-up hippie-punk fashion sense (today she's wearing a tie-dye button-down, jeggings and Converse high-tops) and boundary-free musical tastes (she's decorated her sneakers with lyrics by Mötley Crüe and Arctic Monkeys; is obsessed with Alice Cooper – she calls him "bae" – and the singer-songwriter Butch Walker; loves Nirvana and Justin Bieber too). But she is, even more so, her father's child. "Basically, as a person, she is who my dad is," says her older brother, Prince Michael Jackson. "The only thing that's different would be her age and her gender." Paris is similar to Michael, he adds, "in all of her strengths, and almost all of her weaknesses as well. She's very passionate. She is very emotional to the point where she can let emotion cloud her judgment."

Paris has, with impressive speed, acquired more than 50 tattoos, sneaking in the first few while underage. Nine of them are devoted to Michael Jackson, who died when she was 11 years old, sending her, Prince and their youngest brother, Blanket, spiraling out of what had been – as they perceived it – a cloistered, near-idyllic little world. "They always say, 'Time heals,'" she says. "But it really doesn't. You just get used to it. I live life with the mentality of 'OK, I lost the only thing that has ever been important to me.' So going forward, anything bad that happens can't be nearly as bad as what happened before. So I can handle it." Michael still visits her in her dreams, she says: "I feel him with me all the time."

Michael, who saw himself as Peter Pan, liked to call his only daughter Tinker Bell. She has FAITH, TRUST AND PIXIE DUST inked near her clavicle. She has an image from the cover of Dangerous on her forearm, the Bad logo on her hand, and the words QUEEN OF MY HEART – in her dad's handwriting, from a letter he wrote her – on her inner left wrist. "He's brought me nothing but joy," she says. "So why not have constant reminders of joy?"

She fixes her huge blue-green eyes on each of the museum's attractions without flinching, until she comes to a section of taxidermied pets. "I don't really like this room," she says, wrinkling her nose. "I draw the line with animals. I can't do it. This breaks my heart." She recently rescued a hyperactive pit-bull-mix puppy, Koa, who has an uneasy coexistence with Kenya, a snuggly Labrador her dad brought home a decade ago.

Paris describes herself as "desensitized" to even the most graphic reminders of human mortality. In June 2013, drowning in depression and a drug addiction, she tried to kill herself at age 15, slashing her wrist and downing 20 Motrin pills. "It was just self-hatred," she says, "low self-esteem, thinking that I couldn't do anything right, not thinking I was worthy of living anymore." She had been self-harming, cutting herself, managing to conceal it from her family. Some of her tattoos now cover the scars, as well as what she says are track marks from drug use. Before that, she had already attempted suicide "multiple times," she says, with an incongruous laugh. "It was just once that it became public." The hospital had a "three-strike rule," she recalls, and, after that last attempt, insisted she attend a residential therapy program.

Home-schooled before her father's death, Paris had agreed to attend a private school starting in seventh grade. She didn't fit in – at all – and started hanging out with the only kids who accepted her, "a lot of older people doing a lot of crazy things," she says. "I was doing a lot of things that 13-, 14-, 15-year-olds shouldn't do. I tried to grow up too fast, and I wasn't really that nice of a person." She also faced cyberbullying, and still struggles with cruel online comments. "The whole freedom-of-speech thing is great," she says. "But I don't think that our Founding Fathers predicted social media when they created all of these amendments and stuff."

There was another trauma that she's never mentioned in public. When she was 14, a much older "complete stranger" sexually assaulted her, she says. "I don't wanna give too many details. But it was not a good experience at all, and it was really hard for me, and, at the time, I didn't tell anybody."

After her last suicide attempt, she spent sophomore year and half of junior year at a therapeutic school in Utah. "It was great for me," she says. "I'm a completely different person." Before, she says with a small smile, "I was crazy. I was actually crazy. I was going through a lot of, like, teen angst. And I was also dealing with my depression and my anxiety without any help." Her father, she says, also struggled with depression, and she was prescribed the same antidepressants he once took, though she's no longer on any psych meds.

Now sober and happier than she's ever been, with menthol cigarettes her main remaining vice, Paris moved out of her grandma Katherine's house shortly after her 18th birthday, heading to the old Jackson family estate. She spends nearly every minute of each day with her boyfriend, Michael Snoddy, a 26-year-old drummer – he plays with the percussion ensemble Street Drum Corps – and Virginia native whose dyed mohawk, tattoos and perpetually sagging pants don't obscure boy-band looks and a puppy-dog sweetness. "I never met anyone before who made me feel the way music makes me feel," says Paris. When they met, he had an ill-considered, now-covered Confederate flag tattoo that raised understandable doubts among the Jacksons. "But the more I actually got to know him," says Prince, "he's a really cool guy."

Paris took a quick stab at community college after graduating high school – a year early – in 2015, but wasn't feeling it. She is an heir to a mammoth fortune – the Michael Jackson Family Trust is likely worth more than $1 billion, with disbursements to the kids in stages. But she wants to earn her own money, and now that she's a legal adult, to embrace her other inheritance: celebrity.

And in the end, as the charismatic, beautiful daughter of one of the most famous men who ever lived, what choice did she have? She is, for now, a model, an actress, a work in progress. She can, when she feels like it, exhibit a regal poise that's almost intimidating, while remaining chill enough to become pals with her giant-goateed tattoo artist. She has impeccable manners – you might guess that she was raised well. She so charmed producer-director Lee Daniels in a recent meeting that he's begun talking to her manager about a role for her on his Fox show, Star . She plays a few instruments, writes and sings songs (she performs a couple for me on acoustic guitar, and they show promise, though they're more Laura Marling than MJ), but isn't sure if she'll ever pursue a recording contract.

Modeling, in particular, comes naturally, and she finds it therapeutic. "I've had self-esteem issues for a really, really long time," says Paris, who understands her dad's plastic-surgery choices after watching online trolls dissect her appearance since she was 12. "Plenty of people think I'm ugly, and plenty of people don't. But there's a moment when I'm modeling where I forget about my self-esteem issues and focus on what the photographer's telling me – and I feel pretty. And in that sense, it's selfish."

But mostly, she shares her father's heal-the-world impulses ("I'm really scared for the Great Barrier Reef," she says. "It's, like, dying. This whole planet is. Poor Earth, man"), and sees fame as a means to draw attention to favored causes. "I was born with this platform," she says. "Am I gonna waste it and hide away? Or am I going to make it bigger and use it for more important things?"

Her dad wouldn't have minded. "If you wanna be bigger than me, you can," he'd tell her. "If you don't want to be at all, you can. But I just want you to be happy."

At the moment, Paris lives in the private studio where her dad demoed "Beat It." The Tudor-style main house in the now-empty Jackson family compound in the LA neighborhood of Encino – purchased by Joe Jackson in 1971 with some of the Jackson 5's first Motown royalties, and rebuilt by Michael in the Eighties – is under renovation. But the studio, built by Michael in a brick building across the courtyard, happens to be roughly the size of a decent Manhattan apartment, with its own kitchen and bathroom. Paris has turned it into a vibe-y, cozy dorm room.

Traces of her father are everywhere, most unmistakably in the artwork he commissioned. Outside the studio is a framed picture, done in a Disney-like style, of a cartoon castle on a hilltop with a caricatured Michael in the foreground, a small blond boy embracing him.It's captioned "Of Children, Castles & Kings." Inside is a mural taking up an entire wall, with another cartoon Michael in the corner, holding a green book titled The Secret of Life and looking down from a window at blooming flowers – at the center of each bloom is a cartoon face of a red-cheeked little girl.

Above an adjacent garage is a mini-museum Michael created as a surprise gift for his family, with the walls and even ceilings covered with photos from their history. Michael used to rehearse dance moves in that room; now Paris' boyfriend has his drum kit set up there.

We head out to a nearby sushi restaurant, and Paris starts to describe life in Neverland. She spent her first seven years in her dad's 2,700-acre fantasy world, with its own amusement park, zoo and movie theater. ("Everything I never got to do as a kid," Michael called it.) During that time, she didn't know that her father's name was Michael, let alone have any grasp of his fame. "I just thought his name was Dad, Daddy," she says. "We didn't really know who he was. But he was our world. And we were his world." (Paris declared last year's Captain Fantastic , where Viggo Mortensen plays an eccentric dad who tries to create a utopian hideaway for his kids, her "favorite movie ever.")

We couldn't just go on the rides whenever we wanted to," she recalls, walking on a dark roadside near the Encino compound. She likes to stride along the lane divider, too close to the cars – it drives her boyfriend crazy, and I don't much like it either. "We actually had a pretty normal life. Like, we had school every single day, and we had to be good. And if we were good, every other weekend or so, we could choose whether we were gonna go to the movie theater or see the animals or whatever. But if you were on bad behavior, then you wouldn't get to go do all those things."

In his 2011 memoir, Michael's brother Jermaine called him "an example of what fatherhood should be. He instilled in them the love Mother gave us, and he provided the kind of emotional fathering that our father, through no fault of his own, could not. Michael was father and mother rolled into one."

Michael gave the kids the option of going to regular school. They declined. "When you're at home," says Paris, "your dad, who you love more than anything, will occasionally come in, in the middle of class, and it's like, 'Cool, no more class for the day. We're gonna go hang out with Dad.' We were like, 'We don't need friends. We've got you and Disney Channel!'" She was, she acknowledges, "a really weird kid."

Her dad taught her how to cook, soul food, mostly. "He was a kick-ass cook," she says. "His fried chicken is the best in the world. He taught me how to make sweet potato pie." Paris is baking four pies, plus gumbo, for grandma Katherine's Thanksgiving – which actually takes place the day before the holiday, in deference to Katherine's Jehovah's Witness beliefs.

Michael schooled Paris on every conceivable genre of music. "My dad worked with Van Halen, so I got into Van Halen," she says."He worked with Slash, so I got into Guns N' Roses. He introduced me to Tchaikovsky and Debussy, Earth, Wind and Fire, the Temptations, Tupac, Run-DMC."

"His number-one focus for us," says Paris, "besides loving us, was education. And he wasn't like, 'Oh, yeah, mighty Columbus came to this land!' He was like, 'No. He fucking slaughtered the natives.'" Would he really phrase it that way? "He did have kind of a potty mouth. He cussed like a sailor." But he was also "very shy."

Paris and Prince are quite aware of public doubts about their parentage (the youngest brother, Blanket, with his darker skin, is the subject of less speculation). Paris' mom is Debbie Rowe, a nurse Michael met while she was working for his dermatologist, the late Arnold Klein. They had what sounds like an unconventional three-year marriage, during which, Rowe once testified, they never shared a home. Michael said that Rowe wanted to have his children "as a present" to him. (Rowe said that Paris got her name from the location of her conception.) Klein, her employer, was one of several men – including the actor Mark Lester, who played the title role in the 1968 movie Oliver! – who suggested that they could be Paris' actual biological father.

Over popcorn shrimp and a Clean Mean Salmon Roll, Paris agrees to address this issue for what she says will be the only time. She could opt for an easy, logical answer, could point out that it doesn't matter, that either way, Michael Jackson was her father. That's what her brother – who describes himself as "more objective" than Paris – seems to suggest. "Every time someone asks me that," Prince says, "I ask, 'What's the point? What difference does it make?' Specifically to someone who's not involved in my life. How does that affect your life? It doesn't change mine."

But Paris is certain that Michael Jackson was her biological dad. She believes it with a fervency that is both touching and, in the moment, utterly convincing. "He is my father," she says, making fierce eye contact. "He will always be my father. He never wasn't, and he never will not be. People that knew him really well say they see him in me, that it's almost scary.

"I consider myself black," she says, adding later that her dad "would look me in the eyes and he'd point his finger at me and he'd be like, 'You're black. Be proud of your roots.' And I'd be like, 'OK, he's my dad, why would he lie to me?' So I just believe what he told me. 'Cause, to my knowledge, he's never lied to me.

"Most people that don't know me call me white," Paris concedes. "I've got light skin and, especially since I've had my hair blond, I look like I was born in Finland or something." She points out that it's far from unheard of for mixed-race kids to look like her – accurately noting that her complexion and eye color are similar to the TV actor Wentworth Miller's, who has a black dad and a white mom.

At first, she had no relationship with Rowe. "When I was really, really young, my mom didn't exist," Paris recalls. Eventually, she realized "a man can't birth a child" – and when she was 10 or so, she asked Prince, "We gotta have a mom, right?" So she asked her dad. "And he's like, 'Yeah.' And I was like, 'What's her name?' And he's just like, 'Debbie.' And I was like, 'OK, well, I know the name.'" After her father's death, she started researching her mom online, and they got together when Paris was 13.

In the wake of her treatment in Utah, Paris decided to reach out again to Rowe. "She needed a mother figure," says Prince, who declines to comment on his own relationship, or lack thereof, with Rowe. (Paris' manager declined to make Rowe available for an interview, and Rowe did not respond to our request for comment.) "I've had a lot of mother figures," Paris counters, citing her grandmother and nannies, among others, "but by the time my mom came into my life, it wasn't a 'mommy' thing. It's more of an adult relationship." Paris sees herself in Rowe, who just completed a course of chemo in a fight against breast cancer: "We're both very stubborn."

Paris Jackson was around nine years old when she realized that much of the world didn't see her father the way she did. "My dad would cry to me at night," she says, sitting at the counter of a New York coffee shop in mid-December, cradling a tiny spoon in her hand. She starts to cry too. "Picture your parent crying to you about the world hating him for something he didn't do. And for me, he was the only thing that mattered. To see my entire world in pain, I started to hate the world because of what they were doing to him. I'm like, 'How can people be so mean?'" She pauses. "Sorry, I'm getting emotional."

Paris and Prince have no doubts that their father was innocent of the multiple child-molestation allegations against him, that the man they knew was the real Michael. Again, they are persuasive – if they could go door-to-door talking about it, they could sway the world."Nobody but my brothers and I experienced him reading A Light in the Attic to us at night before we went to bed," says Paris."Nobody experienced him being a father to them. And if they did, the entire perception of him would be completely and forever changed." I gently suggest that what Michael said to her on those nights was a lot to put on a nine-year-old. "He did not bullshit us," she replies. "You try to give kids the best childhood possible. But you also have to prepare them for the shitty world."

Michael's 2005 molestation trial ended in an acquittal, but it shattered his reputation and altered the course of his family's lives. He decided to leave Neverland for good. They spent the next four years traveling the world, spending long stretches of time in the Irish countryside, in Bahrain, in Las Vegas. Paris didn't mind – it was exciting, and home was where her dad was.

By 2009, Michael was preparing for an ambitious slate of comeback performances at London's O2 Arena. "He kind of hyped it up to us," recalls Paris. "He was like, 'Yeah, we're gonna live in London for a year.' We were super-excited – we already had a house out there we were gonna live in." But Paris remembers his "exhaustion" as rehearsals began. "I'd tell him, 'Let's take a nap,'" she says."Because he looked tired. We'd be in school, meaning downstairs in the living room, and we'd see dust falling from the ceiling and hear stomping sounds because he was rehearsing upstairs."

Paris has a lingering distaste for AEG Live, the promoters behind the planned This Is It tour – her family lost a wrongful-death suit against them, with the jury accepting AEG's argument that Michael was responsible for his own death. "AEG Live does not treat their performers right," she alleges. "They drain them dry and work them to death." (A rep for AEG declined comment.) She describes seeing Justin Bieber on a recent tour and being "scared" for him. "He was tired, going through the motions. I looked at my ticket, saw AEG Live, and I thought back to how my dad was exhausted all the time but couldn't sleep."

Michael Jackson: The Human Being Behind The Superstar By Paris Jackson

Paris Jackson: Life After Neverland (Rolling Stone Interview )

In her first-ever in-depth interview, Michael Jackson's daughter discusses her father's pain and finding peace after addiction and heartache

She also has tattoos honoring John Lennon, David Bowie and her dad's sometime rival Prince – plus Van Halen and, on her inner lip, the word MÖTLEY (her boyfriend has CRÜE in the same spot). On her right wrist is a rope-and-jade bracelet that Michael bought in Africa. He was wearing it when he died, and Paris' nanny retrieved it for her. "It still smells like him," Paris says.

Her dad wouldn't have minded. "If you wanna be bigger than me, you can," he'd tell her. "If you don't want to be at all, you can. But I just want you to be happy."

Paris' chosen decor is somewhat different. There is a picture of Kurt Cobain in the bathroom, a Smashing Pumpkins poster on the wall, a laptop with Against Me! and NeverEnding Story stickers, psychedelic paisley wall hangings, lots of fake candles. Vinyl records (Alice Cooper, the Rolling Stones) serve as wall decorations. In the kitchen, sitting casually on a counter, is a framed platinum record, inscribed to Michael by Quincy Jones ("I found it in the attic," Paris shrugs).

"We couldn't just go on the rides whenever we wanted to," she recalls, walking on a dark roadside near the Encino compound. She likes to stride along the lane divider, too close to the cars – it drives her boyfriend crazy, and I don't much like it either. "We actually had a pretty normal life. Like, we had school every single day, and we had to be good. And if we were good, every other weekend or so, we could choose whether we were gonna go to the movie theater or see the animals or whatever. But if you were on bad behavior, then you wouldn't get to go do all those things."

She says Michael emphasized tolerance. "My dad raised me in a very open-minded house," she says. "I was eight years old, in love with this female on the cover of a magazine. Instead of yelling at me, like most homophobic parents, he was making fun of me, like, 'Oh, you got yourself a girlfriend.'

Paris isn't sure how Michael felt about Rowe, but says Rowe was "in love" with her dad. She's also sure that Michael loved Lisa Marie Presley, whom he divorced two years before Paris' birth: "In the music video 'You Are Not Alone,' I can see how he looked at her, and he was totally whipped," she says with a fond laugh.

Paris blames Dr. Conrad Murray – who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in her father's death – for the dependency on the anesthetic drug propofol that led to it. She calls him "the 'doctor,'" with satirical air quotes. But she has darker suspicions about her father's death. "He would drop hints about people being out to get him," she says. "And at some point he was like, 'They're gonna kill me one day.'" (Lisa Marie Presley told Oprah Winfrey of a similar conversation with Michael, who expressed fears that unnamed parties were targeting him to get at his half of the Sony/ATV music-publishing catalog, worth hundreds of millions.)

Paris is convinced that her dad was, somehow, murdered. "Absolutely," she says. "Because it's obvious. All arrows point to that. It sounds like a total conspiracy theory and it sounds like bullshit, but all real fans and everybody in the family knows it. It was a setup. It was bullshit."

But who would have wanted Michael Jackson dead? Paris pauses for several seconds, maybe considering a specific answer, but just says, "A lot of people." Paris wants revenge, or at least justice. "Of course," she says, eyes glowing. "I definitely do, but it's a chess game. And I am trying to play the chess game the right way. And that's all I can say about that right now."

Michael had his kids wear masks in public, a protective move Paris considered "stupid" but later came to understand. So it made all the more of an impression when a brave little girl spontaneously stepped to the microphone at her dad's televised memorial service, on July 7th, 2009. "Ever since I was born," she said, "Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine, and I just wanted to say I love him so much."

She was 11 years old, but she knew what she was doing. "I knew afterward there was gonna be plenty of shit-talking," Paris says, "plenty of people questioning him and how he raised us. That was the first time I ever publicly defended him, and it definitely won't be the last." For Prince, his younger sister showed in that moment that she had "more strength than any of us."

The day after her trip to the Museum of Death, Paris, Michael Snoddy and Tom Hamilton, her model-handsome, man-bunned 31-year-old manager, head over to Venice Beach. We stroll the boardwalk, and Snoddy recalls a brief stint as a street performer here when he first moved to LA, drumming on buckets. "It wasn't bad," he says. "I averaged out to a hundred bucks a day."

Paris has her hair extensions in a ponytail. She's wearing sunglasses with circular lenses, a green plaid shirt over leggings, and a Rasta-rainbow backpack. Her mood is darker today. She's not talking much, and clinging tight to Snoddy, who's in a Willie Nelson tee with the sleeves cut off.

We head toward the canals, lined with ultramodern houses that Paris doesn't like. "They're too harsh and bougie," she says. "It doesn't scream, 'Hey, come for dinner!'" She's delighted to spot a group of ducks. "Hello, friends!" she shouts. "Come play with us!"Among them are what appear to be an avian couple in love, paddling through the shallow water in close formation. Paris sighs and squeezes Snoddy's hand. "Goals," she says. "Hashtag 'goals.'"

Her spirits are lifting, and we walk back toward the beach to watch the sunset. Paris and Snoddy hop on a concrete barrier facing the orange-pink spectacle. It's a peaceful moment, until a middle-aged woman in neon jogging clothes and knee-length socks walks over.She grins at the couple as she presses a button on some kind of tiny stereo strapped to her waist, unleashing a dated-sounding trance song. Paris laughs and turns to her boyfriend. As the sun disappears, they start to dance.

From being a kick-ass cook to a strict dad, here are the 5 things we learned about the King of Pop from Paris Jackson.

3041-3045 These question is for the guys

You are at her home with her. Both of you have drank a little wine, enough to loosen the inhibitions while not getting tipsy. You have snugled on the couch and it’s a good time for bed. You’ve been romantic, but you’ve not made any big moves on her. You’re not sure if you are up to a night of love making or even if she’s in the mood.

She goes to the bedroom to put on something more comfortable… When she returns she is wearing an outfit that looks great on her and you notice that she has her hands tied in front of her, with a scrunchee…

She stands in front of you and giggles nerviously. You search for words to express how you feel, but before you can get any words out she gets on her knees in front of you and reachs out to hold your hand with both of hers. Your eyes find hers…

3041. How do you react to this?

3042. What message do you think she is sending?

3043. What do you do next?

3044. Is this a good way for her to approach her fantasy with you?

3045. If not, what would be a better way for her to approach you about wanting to be controled during sex(consider that just outright talking about it might be hard for her)?

3046-3050 These questions is for the girls

You are at his home with him. Both of you have drank a little wine, enough to loosen the inhibitions while not getting tipsy. You have snuggled on the couch and it’s a good time for bed. You’ve been romantic, but you’ve not made any big moves on him. You’re not sure if you are up to a night of love making or even if he’s in the mood.

He goes to the bedroom to put on something more comfortable… When he returns he is wearing an outfit that looks great on him. He sits next to you. You kiss and kiss. You move your hands down his body to his chest and start unbuttoning his shirt but he stops you and whispers seductively..‘A good slave unbuttons them with her teeth..and you do want to be my slave, don’t you?’

3046. What do you do?

i’d probably be shocked

3047. How do you react to this?

ask him wtf

3048. What message do you think he is sending?

maybe he wants to role play or likes to dominate

3049. Is this a good way for him to approach his fantasy with you?

maybe if he asked i’d do it but no not a good way to introduce the idea

3050. If not, what would be a better way for him to approach you about wanting to be in control during sex(consider that just outright talking about it might be hard for him)?

i’d want him to at least communicate it to me so we can talk about it

Is it true that you…

everyone’s life is of value

i’m open to everyone’s ideas

3061. repress things rather than deal with them?

sometimes i do but i try not to

sometimes.

3063. think there is only one right way?

no.

3064. think that this one right way could possibly be right for ALL of the 6 billion people on this planet?

no.

3065. Decide something is UNTRUE just because you don’t AGREE with it or you don’t LIKE it?

3084. You are in a classroom setting. A teacher has asked for a surrealist project. One person comes in with cards. Each card has a picture. Some of the pictures are a breast, a penis, a urinal, open heart surgery, a woman sucking on a vaccum tube, etc. On the back of each picture is a phrase like 'Fuck you and all of your lesbian fish eating friends’ or 'people who speak in metaphors oughtta shampoo my crotch’. The artist asks each person to take a random card, go around the room and at their turn hold up the card with the picture side out and read the phrase on the back.
