Treasure as tropes REMASTERED VERSION, OT12

Just treasure as really cliché tropes + mini scenarios but version 2023 because I changed my writing a lot and it was crap.

Warning : grammatical errors sorry English is still not my mother tongue , really cheesy and cliché...Well that's the whole point. Sorry if its not good, its been a while...

최 현석 • Choi Hyunsuk

Co-Worker to lover - Hyunsuk was a famous producer, always praised by everyone, especially your other co-workers. You were also a producer but more on the discreet and shy side. You obviously knew Hyunsuk I mean who didn't ? He was the best producer of the agency ! One day, your manager asked the two of you to work together on a song. Honestly, you never felt this anxious before. Not only because Hyunsuk was a really good producer and a very attractive man but also because you started to develop a crush on the latter. Writing and composing the song together was the best experience ever, you got along very well and Hyunsuk felt home. Within only few days, you composed an amazing song, yet you couldn't help but feel sad ; if the song is finished, it means you won't work with Hyunsuk anymore. But Hyunsuk wasn't ready to let you go so the last day, he gathered his courage and asked you out on a date, only the two of you at the café near the studio. You smiled wildly, laughed loud, blushed like crazy during the whole date and you probably looked like a dummy but you liked this feelings, the butterflies in your stomach. Hyunsuk was cheerful, cuddly, kind a cute and at this time, for the first time in your life, you knew that you were in love.

And it was seemingly reciprocated. You'll always remember the words Hyunsuk told you that day "Y/N... I think I love you. Will you let me take you on other dates ? As your boyfriend ?"

박 지훈 • Park Jihoon

Fake bf to lover -

"Please please, pretty please Jihoon be my fake boyfriend. I beg you !" you pleaded your friend, Jihoon , the plan was to make you ex-boyfriend jealous and ,being the playful as always, the boy accepted. It was just an act after all, none of you will catch feelings... Right ?

At first it was just in public ,you two were a bit touchy yet you never kissed or anything else ,just little hugs here and there and that was it and to be honest...you almost forget your ex, everything with Jihoon felt so real and nice.

Then, one day ,when you saw your ex step in while you were with Jihoon, the boy grabbed your waist tightly and, as if it was nothing important, he kissed you ,like if he wanted to claim that you were his and only his. It took you long to realize but you liked it, the kiss, it felt incredible and you felt things that you never felt with your ex.

Since the kiss ,the two of your became close even when it was only you and him alone. You liked to cuddle together while watching films, send cute texts to each other all day long, bake together cookies that you accidentally burnt , Jihoon even kissed you once when you two were watching a cute silly movie. Afterwards, everything just happened so naturally, the kiss were more and more frequent and one day, Jihoon couldn't keep his feelings to himself anymore. So he talked to you, assuming his feelings for you and waiting to be rejected. But it obviously didn't happen ; you just pecked his lips and whispered how much you loved him too.

요시 • Yoshi

Childhood friend to lover -

Yoshi is a sweetheart since ...forever. When you two were still little kids, he was the greatest and loveliest best friend alive ,the most caring little thing that could exist.

Still, years passed and unfortunately, the two of you lost contact ,high school naturally separated the both of you, as if it was your fate to be far away from each other. Yoshi was the popular type, handsome, loved by absolutely everyone and every girls had a crush on him while you...You were here and that's already enough. You always wandered around with your little and cozy friend group.

But you'll always remember that day, when you saw him at the art club. At first, you were too shy to even talk to him but when he approached you, you just couldn't help speaking a lot,remembering the good times together and Yoshi listened to you with sparkling eyes, those eyes you adored. And it suddenly hit you... you missed him more than you would ever admit, you felt like a part of your heart was gone all this years, like something was missing and you found it... It was Yoshi. Yoshi just brought half of your heart back.

김 준규 • Kim Junkyu

Stanger to lover/love at first sight -

It was just something about the way his big and smiley eyes smiled at you, something about his rosy and puffy cheeks when you two had an eye contact. You didn't know him and even if you didn't believe in love at first sight now you did ,he was just a random guy at the amusement park with two of his friends yet he just hit different. He was breathtaking he had longs legs ,small face, the cutest smile you'd ever seen, he was perfect. Actually, he was more than perfect.

Lost in your thoughts, you didn't noticed how his two friend were shamelessly teasing him because he was staring at you while smiling like an idiot. He just got lost in your beautiful sparkly eyes, as if they were reflecting all the stars and other celestial bodies that were decorating the sky. Junkyu just knew he fell in love.

And you knew it you, however, you just couldn't make a move, you were a way too shy to do it. But Junkyu couldn't let you go that easily, as you were about to disappear of his sight, he ran after you then, with the cutest smile on his face, he asked for your number.

That's how a wonderful romance started.

마시호 • Mashiho

Brother's bestfriend to lover -

Mashiho was the best friend of your brother and ,and since you were around 10 years old ,you grew used to see him practically everyday at your place, sometimes playing basketball, some other times dancing with your brother. And you genuinely enjoyed to watch him because he was surely the best at the two sports. Actually, Mashiho was good at everything.

Being younger than him, you knew that you should look at the boys of your age but Mashiho was just different, always happy with a smile on his face and you loved him for that... Yes you loved him. You had feelings for him. Sometimes, the older even cooked you some dishes when your parents weren't here ; the boy seemed to have a soft spot for you.

He just felt the need to constantly look after you, he needed to take care of you because his love for you was on an other level. Yes, he was also in love with you. So where's the problem you might ask. Your brother was kinda...protective.

Yet, one day, Mashiho eventually found the courage to talk about his huge crush on you with your brother when they were only the two of them ,playing random games at your house "If you break their heart I break every single bones you have in that body of yours. Do you hear me ?" Your brother warned and Mashiho promised to never hurt you. And he never broke that promise.

윤 재혁 • Yoon Jaehyuk

Confidant to lover -

Jaehyuk, your human-secret diary, you trusted him more than anyone. He was always the first to know your secrets, when someone broke your heart he was the first to know, when you had problems with your family you talked with him or when you had a new crush you always told him before anyone. Well it was like that until you realized something.... This time you had a crush on him. Obviously, you never told him that, what if he rejected you ?

However, Jaehyuk was a sweetheart and the poor boy loved you his whole life but was a way too respectful to tell you his feelings while you were in love with an other boy. Actually, he was also too scared of rejection.

But one day, the feelings grew too much and you couldn't contain yourself, you loved his puppy-like personality and the way he always cared about you so much so, after many conversation with you, yourself and the reflect in your mirror, you finally decided to confess.

"Jaehyuk ,you know what, I'm in love with someone" you told him one day when you two were hanging out "Oh...Really ?" He whispered, kinda sad because he obviously thought that, as always, you liked an other boy and not him. "Yeah and I'll prove him my feelings right now" you muttered before pressing your lips against his soft ones.

아사히 • Asahi

Friend's friend to lover (?) -

The first time you saw Asahi was when you friend ,Mashiho introduced him to you while you were hanging at the dorm with the older of the two. Asahi, Mashiho's roommate, walked in the living room as you were cuddling with the said boy and let a little "Oh-" escaping from his mouth when he saw you, your arms around his friend's torso as you were snuggling your friend. Thereafter, the poor boy just ran aways, suddenly feeling shy and embarassed, he locked himself in his room, leaving you and Mashiho confused "Yeah it's Asahi... one of my roommates." Your friend chuckled.

But your face stayed in Asahi's mind and, haunting his dreams and invading his thoughts. Asahi, when he saw you with his japanese friend thought you were the said boy s/o so, the evening ,when you were finally gone, Asahi decided to ask his friend directly "You know the person who was here this afternoon...are they your s/o ?" He asked with a quiet and breathy voice making Mashiho laugh loudly "Y/n ? No, absolutely not they're my friend. Why ? Are you jealous?" The older boy teased the younger boy "Yes." Asahi shamelessly replied ,being a way too serious about you.

Then Mashiho understood that his roommate had a crush on you. Actually, everyone understood it because the boy always talked about you. And Mashiho being the good friend and wing man that he is, eventually introduced Asahi to you properly and the two of you became really close fastly, you were the only one who knew all his secrets, the only he really trusted . You were his favorite friend and he was yours and maybe... you were more than just friends ?

방 예담 • Bang Yedam

Soulmate au -

Since you were a kid, everyone around you repeated you that the sentence written on your wrist will be the first words your soulmate will tell you. Yours was "That's a great book" which honestly surprised you because you were never the type to read in public, actually you never went in a library and only bought the books you red online. Well that was before one of your best friends forced you to come to the library with her.

Without thinking at your soulmate, who you actually kind of forgot, you were looking at some random book while your best friend was paying hers when you suddenly heard an unknown voice behind you "That's a great book. You should really read it". At first, you just thought it was a weird guy then you remembered it ; the sentence on your wrist... was it him ?

"Wait ...hum excuse me but who are you?" You exclaimed, turning around to see an handsome boy looking right through your eyes. The unknown boy also seemed as surprised as you as he looked at his own wrist "C-Can you show me your wrist ?" He mumbled, visibly awkward. Then you did it, the both of you flustered as you understood, yes, it was him.

김 도영 • Kim Doyoung

Barista and customer to lover -

Doyoung was a good barista, ok ....maybe he sometimes forgot some customer's orders and he set the kitchen in fire but for his defense, it happened only once ! But except that one accident, we can say that Doyoung was the perfect barista. And one day, when he saw an unknown and beautiful person walking in the café, he felt his heart being heavy and his stomach uncomfortably twist.

" Hum ,Hi can I take your order ?" The handsome boy asked, looking into your eyes. "Hmm a Frappuccino please" you answered, politely smiling at the barista. "Everything for a princess like you" he smirked, giving you a wink and then, he ran to the kitchen as fast as he physically could, leaving you confused and blushing.

Then, Doyoung, being the little flirty as always, had written his number on a napkin and gave it to you before you could step out the café . To be honest, at first you were too shy to contact him but, with your friend's help, you finally sent him a text

And that's how a wonderful relationship started...

하루토 • Haruto

Secret admirer -

Haruto was though and scary to everyone's eyes but actually, the boy was a literal softie and he always has something for you yet, even if he liked to show his confident side, he was too scared to talk to you. Then, being tired of their friend being a coward, Haruto's friend advised him to write you notes and put them in your locker. Haruto loved the idea and agreed at one condition : keeping the notes anonymous.

On your side, you loved your secret admirer's notes, they were always so comforting and the person writing it was always praising you. However, you never tried to know who sent you that though, just because you didn't felt the need to.

Still, after months and months sending you those notes, Haruto finally decided to tell you who he was, one day, he just gave you the note in person, revealing to you his charming smile. Honestly you were surprised when you saw Ruto, he looked like a mean guy always so full of himself but you were wrong, he was a soft and gentle boy.

Then, the said boy confessed his feelings for you ,facing you and holding your hands and before you even noticed it, you fell for him and his perfect smile.

박 정우 • Park Jeongwoo

Secret crush to lover -

Jeongwoo was your crush... How could he not be when he is handsome, funny, attentive and loving ? Nevertheless, you never told anyone, not even your best friend and you truthfully never thought Jeongwoo will ever notice you. He was a popular boy, the funny and outgoing boy of your class, always making every students and professor laugh especially when they were feeling down and you, you were the nerd one and obviously not Jeongwoo type.

Well... that was only what you thought because Jeongwoo was crazy over you, behind his popular image, Jeongwoo hide a sensitive and delicate side deeply in him and because of this side ,he couldn't approach you or just tell the feelings he had for you ; he was a way too scared.

But one day, when you two were paired for a school work, it was getting impossible for you to hide your feelings so you decided to confess, even if Jeongwoo will probably reject you. And, what you didn't know was that Jeongwoo also planned to confess the same day, that's how your lovely romance took place.

소 정환 • So Junghwan

Bestfriend to lover -

Junghwan was the best friend you ever had ,you trusted him with your whole heart but there actually one thing you hide to him... The deep feelings you had for him. And you promised to yourself to never tell him because your friendship was more important than anything for you. You just couldn't let your silly feelings break everything because Junghwan was your whole world.

Junghwan wasn't like you though, he was scared to break your friendship indeed but he wanted to tell you that he love you more than only a "best friend" , he wanted a cuddle date, good night kisses, comforting hugs which ends with one sleeping on one other shoulder ; he wanted all of that and more importantly : he wanted you as his significant other.

"We need to talk" Junghwan said when you both were at his dorm, you'd planned to watch a movie together. You anxiously hummed as an answer "I like you, I really do Y/n, more than friends and I understand If the feelings are not reciprocated, I just wanted you to know it" he sweetly spoke, his hands holding yours tightly.

"Junghwan are you kidding me ? Tell me it's not a joke" you questioned, picking your nails. " No, of course not ! I love you Y/N !" he almost yelled, trying to prove his feelings. "I think I love you too Junghwan" You whispered so quietly that the said boy hardly heard it as your heart was racing in your chest.

𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐆𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐒 ! meredith here. nineteen twenty, they/them or she/her, the best admin in the world. it’s why i’m using manny for my gif for this, when he’s the best and my mascot on the main <3 if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. so: a little about me ! i’m a libra, from new jersey, in my second year of college, use a lot of emojis, have recently and embarrassingly been both playing fortnite ( i know ) and reading like 2 books a night, which might seem like it makes me smart but actually just makes me go to bed at seven in the morning. which also makes me a dumb bitch. on to the show !

name: emma phillips age: thirty occupation: preschool teacher trope: the wide eyed idealist aesthetic: fresh baked chocolate chip cookies, wildflowers in a vase, half empty bottles of pink wine, stopping to pet every dog, happy tears, rom-com movie nights, coffee with too much cream and sugar.

emma was born and raised in the suburbs outside springfield, missouri. her mother was incredibly anxious and doting, disliking emma riding bikes in the streets with the other kids and climbing trees, etc she was thus much closer to her dad: camping trips, bedtime stories, the works. she adored him, and when her twin younger siblings were born, emma’s mother interpereted being a daddy’s girl as hating her, and started ignoring emma when she wasn’t scolding her, instead focusing a much more positive attention on the twins.

then, of course, because life sucks, her dad got sick of it and left without so much as a goodbye. ran off with his secretary when emma was twelve, leaving her with a toxic mom and two little toddler twins. she entered mom mode when her mom’s anxiety turned to severe, don’t get out of bed depression ... emma was cooking for the twins ( and failing miserably, most of the time it was pizza and frozen dinners. to emma’s credit, that did include frozen vegetables. ) helping them with schoolwork, getting them to and from school, etc.

her grandparents were semi - well off, and sent some money to the phillips clan, but emma got a job as soon as she was able. the combination of the two, and her mom’s on and off working was enough to not go hungry. the twins could go on some field trips, there was enough for new clothes when they grew like weeds ... but obviously, no pre-teen / teen wants to constantly care for little kids. it sucked.

the money continued when her grandfather died when she was sixteen, and then, a little while later, right before emma graduated high school, her grandmother died, leaving them her house in fort elms, washington.

the phillips clan moved there, with a month left of high school for emma. as soon as she turned eighteen, a mere month after graduation: emma was kicked out of the house. her mother wanted nothing to do with her anymore, saying emma was tearing her away from the twins. for the rest of their childhoods, emma was not allowed to see either of her siblings, with emma’s mother telling them that she had left on purpose.

thus: she went to college, moved out of the house into a new apartment, fell in love and pined boyfriendless for years like some kind of loser, was incredibly on and off, got cheated on. she hasn’t been able to land a mans since, despite wanting a storybook romance.

while all that was happening, she got a degree, teaching at the fancy private preschool school in town. remember when i said she entered mom mode when her dad left ? yeah. she never left it, apparently. she loves her job, though. lots of stickers.

tl;dr: toxic mom, dad left when she was 12, effectively raised her younger siblings. moved to fort elms when she was about to turn 18, finished out high school, and was kicked out. she became a preschool teacher, inexplicably staying in fort elms.

personality: emma is kind hearted and optimistic �� she's a little bit of a people pleaser, and a lot a bit of a hopeless romantic. she's pretty friendly / chatty, and considers people her friends approximately .5 seconds after meeting them. she's a little naive in the sense that she believes everyone is good, or can be good with just a little effort, and is pretty forgiving. she's much more of a go with the group kind of person, and hates being alone.

tw alcoholism, depression;

name: philippa “pippa” espina age: twenty-two occupation: unemployed trope: fallen princess aesthetic: bottles of vodka, half burnt cigarettes, red lipstick, shattered glass, parties going late into the night, adept fingers rolling joints, sleeping in late, the twinkle of a chandelier.

in retrospect, pippa was destined to be spoiled: she never got attention as a child, and her parents had money, and anyone who's seen a movie about rich kids knows that's a cocktail for disaster. california born and bred, pippa was used to two things by the time she could toddle: the sun, and getting what she wanted.

her father was a successful ... something with a desk and lots of people reporting to him, she never even payed attention. her mother was more focused on tennis practices and galas and book clubs where they just drank wine. a series of nannies raised her: not one or two where she could bond with, cling to the maternal attention she desired.

instead, her frequent temper tantrums and outbursts lead to them either quitting or getting fired when pippa made up stories: she was so mean to me, i think she's stealing from the jewelry box, she's been drinking your fancy wine. she didn't know why she was doing it. maybe it was the way her mother would stroke her hair gently, eyes blurry with drunkeness saying they'd work on finding someone better to take care of her. for all her twisted lies, pippa could be brutally honest. yet she never asked her mother why she couldn't take care of her.

by the time pippa had hit the sixth grade, she'd been kicked out of two of the private schools in the area. her third was all all girl's school, full of catholic sensibilities and a headmistress that refused to dismiss pippa, no matter how much she acted out.

she was twelve the first time she was the one breaking into the liquor cabinet, little sips of sweet liquors that made her head feel fuzzy. a lock was placed on it three weeks later, and she didn't get drunk again until high school. but pippa decided she liked that feeling, and more importantly, she liked the feeling of her parents finally looking at her.

at one of the rare family meals a month after her thirteenth birthday, pippa said i don't want a nanny anymore at the same time that her father said we're moving to washington. some business deal her father's company had made with the military base, it was a wonderful town. she didn't want to hear it. another tantrum she was far too old for, a slap across the face. selfish brat.

they moved to washington three days later. she didn’t have a nanny.

pippa was never popular in high school, nor unpopular. she was a bit of an outcast: mean and pretty only got you so far if you were already top dog, and she wasn't. she, however, threw big parties that drew the attention of high schoolers and the lamer end of the college crowd. holidays, breaks, every weekend: an unlimited supply of all the weed and alcohol at pippa's house, combined with the loud thunk of music and no one to get mad at you if you broke a vase or woke up on the floor the next morning. her parents were rarely ever home.

when they were, however, things weren't pretty. slammed glasses on tables, shouts so loud they made voices sore. pippa would stand there and she would cry until her face was red, and say sorry for breaking things, and the next day her parents would give her a new allowance and a kiss atop the head. that was their apology. she never accepted it. she kept the money and embraced back, of course. but she never meant it. she would do the same thing again, and again, and again.

attention was better than any drug, and almost as good as the bottom end of a bottle or a shot glass. she was mean and she was catty, sure, but then she was warm and fun and bought you lunch. by the time she had made stronger connections, latching on to the only two people, the only two friends she had was easy. they were her friends, and thus everyone else was her enemy.

after high school, she didn't do anything. no college, no job. her parties persisted, and so did kisses behind locked doors and afternoons spent sleeping off a hangover until she woke up and did it again. she was still mean, still catty, still desperate for attention: growth had been stunted, immaturity and a desperation making her miserable to be around.

she doesn't know why she does it. not even deep down: sometimes, it's like she's staring down at her own body, watching herself be cruel or unkind, sparking up a joint to call someone a bitch and someone a cow, or taking another shot and whispering into the nearest fellow partygoers' ear that they should go upstairs. sometimes she wakes up and feels like she's the worst person in the world. especially after one of those partygoers is the ex of one of those two friends. she feels like the worst person in the world, and she likes it better then, she decides. at least then she feels something.

tl;dr: rich bitch, loves partying, classic mean girl. not so functional alcoholic, hooks up with a lot of people. turbulent relationship with her parents, desperate for attention. definitely needs a therapist and a psychiatrist.

personality: pippa is very ... sugar and ice. or more aptly, sugar and fire. as long as you follow her my way or the highway mentality and give her plenty of attention, she'll drag you along on all her plans, lavish you with attention ... until she doesn't anymore. she's reckless and self-centered, but she's a hell of a lot of fun. if you manage to get into her inner circle, she'd take a bullet for you, but ... well, as mentioned before she still might sleep with your ex <3 or ur current bf, honestly.

tw bullying, anxiety, depression, suicide;

name: theodore "teddy" larsen age: twenty-three occupation: graduate student trope: shrinking violet aesthetic: pages and pages of notes, shiny comic book pages, freshly sharpened pencils, home cooked meals, deep shaky breaths, science fiction movies, 100% exams, thick books full of knowledge

theodore larsen came out of the womb miserable. he was a colicky baby, born to a loving, young american mother and a his british professor father in england. he was a quiet child, once he grew out of the constant exhausted crying: much preferring the company of his mom than other kids. he was smart though, and a heavy reader.

when he spoke was when the trouble began: as his vocabulary began to grow and he talked more and more, a stutter came with it. he spoke kindly and eloquently for his age, but he struggled sometimes to get words out. kids were cruel, naturally, and it only made teddy more reclusive.

out of isolation came anxiety: he was an intensely worried child, mostly involved with his parents rather than people his age. an investment in books, comics, nonficiton, novels. teddy was perfectly content with books as his friends, and of course, his mother, his favorite person in the world.

and then his world came crashing down. nothing horrific: no one died, no one was sick. but when the only thing that brings you comfort is security and repetition, your father cheating on your mother and moving across the world is a pretty far crash to the bottom. port elms, washington: his mother’s hometown, where teddy would finish out high school.

he was relentlessly bullied, still. the label of new kid paired with a lack of social grace and nerdy dispotion, there might as well have been a target painted on his back. he had one friend, endlessly kind to him. she’d saved his life, figuratively, and he saved hers literally, an appearance at her house shortly after her suicide attempt.

it made sense that he’d have one too. depression was a dark shroud that hung over him, exacerbated anxious behaviors. that was months ago now. a secret, locked inside him, not quite ready to come out. therapy, once a week. maybe twice.

he’s not excited about finishing his degree, not really. he feels good about teaching, it’s what he wants to do. but the idea of being back in fort elms high isn’t exactly leaving a good taste in his mouth. he’ll cross that bridge when he comes to it, no matter how much it makes his heart beat faster and his palms sweat. he’s got all the time in the world

tl;dr: nervous mess, bullying target, has one real friend. very sensitive mama’s boy. british accent, moved to fort elms when he was in high school. sad. doesn’t like his dad very much.

personality: the nerdiest mf alive. teddy is a total sweetheart, very socially awkward, and pretty damn smart. he know a lot about typical nerdy shit. superheroes, star trek. he LOVES star wars. he's also in a band, playing bass. fun times. he's nervous as hell — also super cautious, he never likes to do anything without it being meticulously planned. total mamas boy.

MUN QUESTIONS.

Q1: if you could write your character your way in their own movie, what would it be called, what style would it be filmed in, and what would it be about?: It would probably just be called something simple and plain like “Elizabeth”, “Doll”, or “Low Heeled Shoes”, and it would be filmed in a sort of artsy way like the shortfilm Empty Sky. It would follow her struggles as she grew up with femininity, religion, and having to learn the general concept of self love without basing it on others’ approval of her.

Q2: what would their soundtrack / score sound like?: Lots of soft, dainty indie songs following the sounds of Daughter, One Two, Cigarettes After Sex, etc

Q3: why did you start writing this character?: She really appealed to me back in middle school when I got into the show. She was sweet, feminine, and unafraid to speak her mind, which I liked. As I started getting into the manga more recently after a long hiatus, I fell in love with her all over again and all of her nuances that I didn’t notice when I was younger (and before the campania arc, mind you)

Q4: what first attracted you to this character?: She was everything I wanted to be, I found her positively adorable and there weren’t many characters like that. She brought a well needed ray of sunshine to the show.

Q5: describe the biggest thing you dislike about your muse: She’s a BRAT

Q6: what do you have in common with your muse?: We both have super overbearing parents who care too much and too little at the same time lmao. also i fence while still being very feminine minded and enjoying hair/makeup/fashion and i like seeing a character do that

Q7: how does your muse feel about you?: Hopefully we’d get along

Q8: what characters does your muse have interesting interactions with?: Sebastians like j e s u s i love the drama. Also rciels have a quite interesting dynamic with her, though i really do appreciate every interaction, it’s much more about the muns that make it special than the characters

Q9: what gives you inspiration to write your muse?: Sad music, painting, sewing, drinking a bitchin cup of tea, dancing, you name it. also my bf

Q10: how long did this take you to complete?: Like an hour and fifteen minutes, but i took a big sleep in the middle and had to look up a lot of quizzes

book meme

tagged by @robb-greyjoy and @cafeleningrad thank you both! <3

1. Which book has been on your shelves the longest? Uhm. Uhm. That’s... a hard... question... but I think the collection of Irish fairytales I really was into when I was like seven? I probably have older stuff than that but not on my shelves (it’d be stored somewhere) and not that I re-read at this point.

2. What is your current read, your last read and the book you’ll read next? The current read is Stuart Kaminsky’s The Howard Hughes Affair in the Toby Peters series because I need light reading and twenty-four books of down on his luck PI in Hollywood in the forties always dealing with old hollywood cinema stars is exactly what I need for light reading.

Last read: it was the previous in those series, You Bet Your Life, or if you don’t count that it was some medieval history book.

Next read: I’d like for it to be Stephen and Owen King’s Sleeping Beauties but it’s most likely gonna be either roman history or medieval history, again. Or possibly the fifth in that series but it’s really quick reading so. xD

3. Which book does everyone like and you hated? I’m gonna almost quote Damien who said P&P (which I...uh... don’t like lol) and say Emma which is still the Most Insufferable Thing I Ever Read In My Entire Life. P&P is less insufferable but I don’t get the fascination and mist likely never will.

4. Which book do you keep telling yourself you’ll read, but you probably won’t? Idk I eventually get to everything I mean to but I should have read War and Peace like years ago. ONE DAY. XDD

5. Which book are you saving for “retirement?” None, I save anything longer than 500 pages for when I’m on vacation but who even knows when I’ll get to retirement, so...

6. Last page: read it first or wait till the end? I ALWAYS WAIT UNTIL THE END I NEVER CHECK THE LAST PAGE are we srs it’s the last one for a reason

7. Acknowledgements: waste of ink and paper or interesting aside? Always fundamental. I always read acknowledgments. Though I don’t do the mistakes of reading afterwords before the book because I spoiled myself the ending of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd because I had to read the afterword first and I was an idiot xD

8. Which book character would you switch places with? ... honest? Rob from High Fidelty, not just because we’re sadly almost the same person but because I wanna own a fucking record shop and that’d be about the only way I could do it in this lifetime I fear...

9. Do you have a book that reminds you of something specific in your life (a person, a place, a time)? Hmmm, lots I guess, but Different Seasons was the summer when I turned fifteen and it definitely changed my life for the better and I always remember it fondly, same for The Three Musketeers and the 2006 summer which was.. an interesting time I guess xD, latin/greek epics will forever be tied with my father for better or worse and french authors with my mom aaaand beat generation stuff definitely reminds me of my best friend from high school and I could probably say that while I never read hp it also reminds me of people I was better off without so that’s probably another reason why I hate it but never mind that xDDDDD

10. Name a book you acquired in some interesting way. Hmm idk I’m totally blanking here XD I don’t think I have any *interesting* story about this sorry guys

11. Have you ever given away a book for a special reason to a special person? lmao no. The three times I lent book to someone they never came back and I’m really not the kind of person who shares their *special* copies so it’d have to be a really special person to make me give away a book I already own for special reasons xD and I haven’t met that person yet

12. Which book has been with you to the most places? I have a feeling it’d be the second dark tower book or the third for how badly I ruined them

13. Any “required reading” you hated in high school that wasn’t so bad ten years later? If I actually found the inner strength to get over my issues with some teacher and re-read I promessi sposi without bias I probably wouldn’t find it as terrible as I did back in the day but it’ll take me another ten years for that I fear, for the rest I’m fairly good with everything I had to read as a requirement.

14. What is the strangest item you’ve ever found in a book? Someone’s phone number I fear

15. Used or brand new? Don’t care either way but if I have to buy, used because they’re cheaper tbh xDDDD

16. Stephen King: Literary genius or opiate of the masses? Guys. Guys. While I’m the first person who wouldn’t say King is the new Proust, and while there’s a lot of things I dislike about the way he does things (first of all how much he loves his PEOPLE FORGETTING EVERYTHING trope)....

a) when I read Different Seasons I was in a moment where I had fallen out of love with reading stuff for reasons and it brought it back full spades; b) he was the first author I read in english and 90% the person that influenced my writing style more for those reasons; c) he’s a genius at crafting characters/character work/character development way more than a lot of people critics enjoy more than him and since I’m a character driven whore put two and two together; d) he came up with my Favorite Fictional Character Ever (whose surname is half of my tumblr nickname/internet nickname anywhere so...) and with my Favorite Ship Ever and my Favorite Series Ever and a lot of my Favorite Things Ever; e) he’s exceedingly good at his genre and while his endings are shit 70% of the time when he nails it he nails it;

tldr: he might not be the Greatest Writer Ever but he’s my Subjectively Favorite Writer Ever for bad and for good and no one disrespects king in front of me okay? k. I owe his damned books enough to repay how much they made me suffer xD

17. Have you ever seen a movie you liked better than the book? Blade Runner is vastly better than the book and Maurice is pretty much as good as it but there were changes that imo were improvements over things that were not in the plot so I guess it counts.

18. Conversely, which book should NEVER have been introduced to celluloid?

...........

THE

DARK

TOWER

I rest my case no one wants me to start ranting again about how much that piece of shit movie should have never existed and idris elba deserved a lot better than ending up involved in it.

19. Have you ever read a book that’s made you hungry, cookbooks being excluded from this question? no but I wrote a bakery au that made people feel hungry, does that count?

20. Who is the person whose book advice you’ll always take? my parents though I’ll take it with a pinch of salt because there’s people they like that I can’t stand (*cough* borges *cough* SORRY I KNOW) and viceversa but let’s say that if my dad said he didn’t dislike it then it’s probably not a bad book in 90% of the cases same for my mom (though she didn’t hate the solitude of prime numbers as much as I did which is why as stated I take things with a pinch of salt xD), then @robb-greyjoy because we basically like the same things so I trust his judgment, my high school bf who’s not on tumblr (the beat generation person) who also had my same tastes so I’d have definitely trusted her, and there’s a few tumblr users I follow for books talking whose judgment I trust 99% of the time xD

also half of the people I wanted to tag got tagged by either of you so hmmm @lordhellebore @slushiebear @blueagia @incblackbird @julesdrenages @julesfelden @ms-mormont and @greyjoysea? if you all want to of course otherwise ignore me xD

My ranking so far (best to worst):

1. Christian Mingle: The Movie

- The thing that is so genius about this is that it’s a gender reversal of the “Born Sexy Yesterday” trope. The woman is pretty average but the guy is so simple and child-like that he thinks everything she says is THE FUNNIEST THING EVER (he also calls his parents “ma” and “pa” reflexively and only eats chili cheese dogs). He is described as “quirky” often by the lead and other characters. Yet he possesses a profound relationship with Jesus and an innate wisdom that provides the catalyst for the main character to find meaning in her life. Lacey Chabert’s eyes are exceptionally watery. I dunno, this one was an unexpected heart-melter for me.

2. The Spirit of Christmas

- The woman is a cold-hearted big city real estate agent (I think???) who needs to sell an old countryside inn that winds up being haunted by a sexy ghost, but only for 12 days a year between Christmas and New Years...or something. Thomas Beaudoin is smokin’ hot and they don’t even bother hiding the fact that this woman’s pants are ON FIRE...she really wants to bang this ghost. He’s mean and mysoginistic in an old-timey way. We don’t want to love it but we do. The metaphysical laws of the afterlife are unclear. Would make a good porn.

3. A Holiday Engagement

- I was honestly barely paying attention. An out-of-work journalist hires a man she meets online to pretend to be her fiance when she goes home for the holidays. The people in this were not as attractive. But it was kind of funny I think.

4. Merry Kissmas

- The people are attractive...but in a kind of human labrador retriever way. She is in a codependent relationship with her fiance who is some sort of big time choreographer. He treats her like shit: she is essentially both his maid and manager. Brant Daugherty is a bashful baker who is VERY INCREDIBLY unlucky in love. They have a good kiss in an elevator under some mistletoe (after an uncomfortable scene where he is assaulted by his elderly neighbor in the same elevator). Something about nutcrackers and pursuing your dreams. As in all of the movies there is an engagement at the end, when Kay Jewelers drops a very obvious product placement. This movie has a lot of holiday tropes -- mistletoe, gingerbead, they buy a puppy, whatever, but it just wasn’t steamy enough for me. This one goes below A Holiday Engagement because of Kay Jewelery.

5. Back to Christmas

- Hmmmm what to say about this one. A sad big city career woman is visited by her quirky fairy godmother at a diner, and gets to travel back in time to last Christmas so that she can try get her douchey boyfriend not to break up with her. What’s interesting about this is that the time travel metaphysics are such that nothing happens in exactly the same way, thus revealing a different side of the douchey bf and leading the woman to reconsider a romance with a childhood friend who still pines for her. This was similar to Christian Mingle in some ways because the lead had to cast off the shackles of a controlling parent in order to find herself and her true love. The people in this were not very attractive.

6. A Christmas Prince

- ACTIVELY DISLIKE. The leading man’s face looked like a butt. Very creepy father-daughter chemistry, fake accents etc. I do admit that my heart was melted by the prince’s charming disabled sister. Make the movie about her next time.

7. Christmas in the Smokies

- A woman and her family are struggling to support themselves with the income with their berry farm, when her high school boyfriend -- now a famous country star -- returns to town for the holidays. The man tries to make amends for leaving her heartbroken with no explanation at the age of 17 and weasel his way back into her heart. This woman bears the mantle of victim-hood in a truly insufferable way.

The defining scene of the movie is when the man asks her why she is so mad, and she explains how it was difficult when he abandoned her as a teen, describing “crying at home, alone and scared.” She says, “I would explain it to you more, I really would, but I just don’t think that dog’ll hunt.” Many other characters in the movie are perplexed as to why this woman is holding on to pain from her shitty high school romance. Apparently the writers think that the women watching this movie have martyrdom fantasies iN ADDITION to the usual holiday fantasies. And they are right about that. But I SEE WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO DO and therefore this was unsatisfying for me. If you love Taylor Swift this is probably the movie for you.

The people are attractive, and actually the landscape add something to this. Another great line, “You always were all hat and no cattle, so whatever flips your pancake.”
