Ateez: Pranking Their S/O

Kim Hongjoong:

Hongjoong waited patiently on his chair, trying hard to not laugh at what he was planning. He looked back at his work of art: an airhorn was taped to the wall, so if anyone came bursting into the room, the handle of the door would press down on it and they'd be startled by the sound of the horn resonating through the room. Truly a work of genius.

He looked at his watch.

"3, 2, 1."

"Hey baby, how-"

You didn't finish your sentence as you fell back into the wall, in complete shock at hearing some horn blasting in your ears, causing you to let out a piercing scream. Hongjoong could only clap and snicker at your reaction.

You stood up cautiously and examined what was behind the door and found Hongjoong's made contraption. You narrowed your eyes at him.

"You jerk!" You exclaimed.

"What?! Maybe now you'll stop bursting into the studio at random times and scaring me all the time!"

Park Seonghwa:

"Hey baby, are you almost done?" Seonghwa asked you.

"Not yet, it'll still take a while." You responded, your eyes never peeling from the computer screen.

"Ok. Do you want me to get you anything?"

You thought for a minute. "Maybe a glass of orange juice?"

Seonghwa smiled and kissed the top of your head. "As you wish."

You blushed and couldn't believe how lucky you were to have such a caring boyfriend like Seonghwa. He was so sweet, so helpful, so thoughtful, so...

"Bleh!" You exclaimed as you spit out the juice. "Park Seonghwa! Did you seriously just give me water mixed with cheese powder?!"

"You put coffee in my Strawberry frappuccino!"

Jeong Yunho:

You looked around frantically all over the house. You searched everywhere you could think of, but you could not find the laptop anywhere.

"I don't understand! I left it on my desk! I swear!"

You muttered to yourself as you continued rummaging through cabinets and drawers.

"Yunho!"

"Yes my love?" He poked his head into the room.

You could already tell by his response that he had something to do with this.

"Where did you put it?" You asked.

Yunho gasped, feigning ignorance. "Whatever are you talking about?"

However, his eyes trailed over to the top of the huge wardrobe, betraying his hiding spot.

"Yunho! You put my laptop all the way up there?! You know I can't reach!"

"I know! But it's cute seeing you try to reach." He smiled, pointing 2 finger guns at you.

Kang Yeosang:

You came home from work and noticed Yeosang was in the kitchen.

"What are you doing?" You asked.

Yeosang looked over at you and smiled.

"I made caramel apples!"

He happily displayed the treats he worked so hard on.

"Wow. Finally you cook something that doesn't end in a huge mess or disaster." You teased him.

Yeosang only glared at you before handing you an apple for you to try. You took it, happy to have something in your stomach after so long. You took a bite and your mouth burned when you caught the taste of the bitter onion.

"Yeosang! What the hell!?" You screamed as you threw the caramel onion on the floor.

"That's what you get for eating my fried chicken........AND judging my cooking skills."

Choi San:

You yawned and stretched out your arms. Walking into the kitchen, you opened the fridge and took out the pitcher of milk. You proceeded to open the cabinet to get out a glass but you were taken aback when you saw all your dishes had googly eyes glued to them.

"What the-"

You examined the cups. You began opening other cabinets and drawers and realized all your silverware had the same googly eyes glued to them. Even your pots and pans had them.

"What the hell is going on?!" You exclaimed in utter confusion.

"Don't you think it's cute?"

You turned to find San smiling widely at you.

"Did you do this?" You raised an eyebrow.

"I did and I'm proud!" He said as he held up a teapot and displayed it for you.

"When did you even have the time?"

Song Mingi:

You were currently fast asleep in your bed. It was finally the weekend and you were planning on waking up late. But that idea was scrapped when your phone woke you up.

"Into the unknooown.....into the UNKNOOOOOWN!"

You literally fell out of bed when you heard Mingi's loud screeching from your phone. Once you gathered your composure, you grabbed your phone and dialed said boyfriend's number. He picked up on the third ring.

"Good morning sunshine! How are you?"

"It's not a good morning, and I'm livid. Wanna know why? Cause I woke up to your singing at 6:30 in the morning! Seriously, why?!"

Even when not on speakerphone, your voice blasted through Mingi's phone.

"I thought it'd be funny." You knew Mingi was pouting on the other side.

"Well I'm not laughing Song Mingi." You growled at him.

".........you only call me my full name when you're really angry."

"I am angry! You woke me up too early on my day off!"

"Haha, look at that. Seonghwa Hyung needs me to clean something. Bye!"

"Song Mingi don't you dare hang up!"

Jung Wooyoung:

Wooyoung was tired of you paying more attention to your book than him. It was his day off and he wanted to cuddle with you. Instead some stupid mystery crime book was occupying your time.

Huffing, he went out of the room to look for something, not that you noticed, nose stuck in your book. You were so engrossed in your book, you only came out of your trance when a huge black spider landed on your page.

"Ahhhh!!!!" You screamed like you were in a horror movie and threw the book across the room.

Wooyoung simply stood by the doorframe, looking at you amusingly.

"Wooyoung! Kill it for me!" You pointed at where the book landed.

Wooyoung sighed and walked over to the other side of the room.

"Oh sure. Now you need me huh?" Wooyoung replied sarcastically as he held up the fake spider.

"You ass! You know I'm scared of spiders!" You hollered at him.

"And even then they get more attention than me!"

Choi Jongho:

It was supposed to be a simple request. You asked your boyfriend if he could go get you 20 pieces of chicken Mcnuggets and he said sure. So what was taking him so long?

"Here you are babe." He held out the box for you.

"Aww thanks sweetheart, you're the best. I love you so- what the fuck is this?"

Your voice changed when you opened the box and saw that instead of chicken Mcnuggets, it was filled with lettuce and a few cherry tomatoes. You glared at Jongho for an explanation. He was only laughing at your expression.

"Choi Jongho, you have 10 seconds to run before I murder you." You warned him, holding up your hands and beginning to put down fingers.

"Aww come on! It was funny. Besides, can you really stay mad at this face?" He cupped his cheeks and blew kisses at you.

"5 seconds."

"Shit! Gotta blast!" He wasted no time in running away from you.

Swimming Deep || Ryder, Gio, Charlie, & Daniel

Outside, there was only one other person, which was a surprise to Gio, to his knowledge, parties centered around pools. Maybe because it was a bit cold out, the pool area became the quiet zone for introverts. Gio had no idea why he agreed to go to these college parties, especially because he didn’t even go to college, nor did he like crowds. But, sometimes he just needed to do something that wasn’t at home. He could have done a lot of things, like going to the movies with Micah and Steven, and whichever friends they invited, but he figured he’d mess up their plans if he came along. In a small town, there really wasn’t that much to do; all of his friends were either his brothers, his brothers’ friends, or his table-top game friends online. So, why not go to the party?

After sitting at the edge of the pool with his feet in the water, for about 10 minutes, Gio couldn’t help but notice who the other person was, sitting at one of the tables. Awkwardly making eye contact with the brunette, Gio quickly looked away, trying to act like he wasn’t checking him out, even though he evidently was. Even though he also had been checking him out at past parties they both attended, or even at the local grocery store where they sometimes saw each other from a distance. Catching feelings like he was for this person was something really new to Gio; having a crush on anyone was something that just didn’t happen with him most of the time. He had flings in the past, but it was always something that didn’t last or he was pressured into it by acquaintances, or even his mom.

Gio’s mom always wanted the best for him, which is why she often played match-maker, but he never had the heart to tell her that being with someone just wasn’t his thing--at least at the time. If she knew he had feelings for a guy, she’d go crazy, insisting on giving him all the advice she had to offer. Vic’s only advice about love interests at home was, “Keep it PG 13, I don’t wanna see no R-rated shit.”

When Gio turned his head, once again, his eyes met the brunette’s, this time, offering a quick smile before he glanced back at his faint reflection in the pool. Gio never had the guts to talk to someone he liked, unless he was forced into it. This time, Gio genuinely couldn’t get the brunette, with the square jaw, out of his head. It was like the universe was telling him to talk to him, especially since they kept seeing each other almost everywhere they went, even outside of the parties. He knew it was a small town, but he never saw the same person almost everywhere--it wasn’t that small.

This had been going on for a few weeks, and throughout that time, Gio wondered how he’d approach the guy, or if he’d even approach him at all. He couldn’t believe he thought about these things--it all seemed so foreign. Finally gathering up the courage to talk to the brunette, he carefully tried to stand up, knowing very well that he could slip in because of his wet feet; however, the cautious steps Gio took were not effective. Once the dirty blonde stood, straightening out his body, he took one slippery step toward the brunette, leading him to fall flat on his face. Trying to get up wasn’t very easy, however, he managed to do so. Not thinking clearly, he stood up closer to the edge of the pool and lost control of his balance. Inevitably, he fell into the pool. 

Near the bottom floor of the deep end, Gio began to panic, especially because he never learned how to swim, not even how to float. People always said “When in doubt, just float. Release your body. No tension.” That shit never worked with Gio. After almost a minute, a rush of water began to fill his lungs as he continuously opened his mouth, not registering that that probably wasn’t the best thing to do underwater. 

Gio had no idea how much time had passed, but when he came to, he caught the brunette hovering over him as he laid on the pavement. He coughed up some more water as he tried to piece together what happened after he fell into the pool. Did the brunette save him? Did he perform CPR or some shit? Their lips touched? The thought of their lips touching allowed Gio’s cold body to grow warm, as he blinked away his half-dazed condition. 

“Did you kiss me?” Gio chuckled as his cheeks grew pink. 

Daniel, wanting to include himself in some of the fun, attempted to enter the living room, where everyone seemed to be congregating, however, he felt so out of place. He’d been to a few of these parties before, but mostly because Micah or Gio wanted to go. All Daniel knew was that people wanted to act crazy at parties. He didn’t really mind that though. He figured, maybe if he tried to involve himself in the party for once, he’d understand the appeal? 

Regardless of his countless attempts to assimilate, Daniel couldn’t seem to do it, especially because most people weren’t looking to have conversations. The party-goers were interested in playing games and roughhousing, which again, Daniel didn’t mind, but he just wasn’t the type of person people wanted to play games with, even if he tried. Feeling like he couldn’t fit in, Daniel walked over toward the stairs to take a seat, only to find Charlie sitting there.

“Charlie!” Daniel smiled, trying to speak over the music. “You okay? You need to go somewhere where it’s not so nuts?” Daniel again, probably shouted louder than he should have, not really aware of the volume of his voice because his hearing aids were turned off. “I just-- I guess I feel out of place and I just wanna talk or something. Sorry if I’m being all awkward!”

Hoping he wasn’t scaring Charlie away, he avoided eye contact as he waited for a response. He was worried he was coming off too strong, or being too friendly. What if Charlie didn’t remember him? Or what if what he remembered reminded him that he didn’t like Daniel?

“Your dad’s muffins were really good!”

Thankfully Charlie didn’t seem to have too much booze in his system, because as much as Daniel didn’t mind helping Charlie, it would have been a little hard to walk to the local McDonald’s with someone hanging onto him. 

Daniel munched down on his mcnuggets, getting a 20 piece so him and Charlie could share. He giggled as the two attempted to dip their mcnugget in the bbq container at the same time. 

“Hey, I was first,” he joked, nudging Charlie’s hand away. 

For a moment, taking in the mutual silence between them, Daniel gazed out the window at people driving into the parking lot of the restaurant. Unbeknownst to Daniel, his new hearing aids were visible to Charlie.

The first time he met Charlie, he hadn’t had his hearing aids turned on, due to headaches he was receiving and the discomfort of still getting used to them, so it was even harder to tell what he was saying, or even what Charlie’s dad was saying. It was always hard to tell what anyone was saying for that matter without them. Hearing aids were so expensive, but Vic managed to figure out a way where Daniel could have them--Vic was such a good parent. Unfortunately, sometimes they came with side effects that Daniel wasn’t willing to bare in certain situations, especially at parties where everything seemed too loud, especially when he was still getting used to them--he’d only had them for a few weeks. 

When Daniel got out of the party setting, it was in his best interest to turn them on so he could hear Charlie better, especially because he just really wanted to get to know him. Daniel needed a friend outside of his brothers. His best friend Justine was always there for him, but Daniel was desperate to meet new people, especially because of his naturally extroverted personality, but due to the way people treated him because of his impairment, it was really hard to make friends. Daniel didn’t know why he wanted to be friends with Charlie so bad. Maybe it was because he was really nice to him and didn’t care about their imperfect communication?

Younger post-ep recap 6x06

Due to a rather unfortunate run in between my laptop and a glass of water I lost my original ramble for this week’s Younger (as well as the actual laptop so R.I.P Lappy, you were actually pretty terrible but we had a good run). So instead of my usual review I thought I’d do more of a recap and refresher of the last episode to get us prepped, primed and pumped (aka the 3 P's) for the next installment (ep7).

Episode 6 of Younger was in many ways so bonkers that it shouldn’t have worked, but somehow all the pieces came together and it did .Oh boy did it ever! I outright belly laughed a number of times throughout and I think my dog was mildly concerned for my well-being because there were actual tears coming out my eyes at a couple of points. I’m a sucker for a pun so ‘Merger, She Wrote’ had me at hello (you could say my hopes for the ep were high...yes I did and #notsorry). What I wouldn’t have given to be in the room to see the reactions to a script with ‘Liza goes to talk to the nurse who is actually a plant’ in it. So yes there were LOLs galore but most importantly, by the end of the ep order had been restored following the upheaval of the past 6 episodes (which is about the limit viewers can take sitting in the discomfort of an unfamiliar detour from the norm IMO: think the Bryce Reiger arc in season 3 and the Charles finding out the lie in season 5...it’s almost as though Darren and co. have done this before...), Finally the fam is back together at Millennial (or is it Mercennial now?)

Straight off the bat I was very distracted for most of the opening scene by Liza’s dress and look in general because it was AMAZING.  I am loving all the Maggie/Liza in the morning scenes we’re getting this season and Maggie in a blue coverall embarking on a DIY rope harness ceiling painting project...what could possibly go wrong? I felt mildly uncomfortable at how relatable Maggie’s not being served for 10 mins in a bar and sneaking out to the fridge in the night were, but was also mildly mesmerized by Liza’s coffee mug that looked like some kind of old-timey wash basin (turns out this was not relevant to the story but noted nonetheless). Maggie also offers the very straight forward solution of merging the two companies to alleviate the tension that’s putting Liza and Charles in ‘not a good place’ and I love that her ‘bing, bang, boom’ is echoed by Liza when she floats the idea with Charles later in the ep. 

The' Microdosing' book pitch provided us with the set up for the retreat and my fave thing about this scene was how IN character all the characters reactions were to it all; Diana is flat out appalled by the whole thing, Liza is Captain Cautious but trying to play it cool and Kelsey looks like she’s seeing colour for the first time and would 100% pledge her devotion to Travis in any kind of cult situation.

What might have seemed out of character, but actually ended up so perfectly capturing the way she always does everything with absolute gusto, was Diana's foray into boomer erotica narration (as Liza so eloquently put it, 'I think we just found our Seasoned Slut'. These lines, I swear *rofl emoji* )  I think I laughed through the entire scene of Diana in the recording studio, I mean, Miriam Shor's delivery of every line just kills me, but the highlight was undoubtedly when she suggested she could hit nipple a little harder and affirmed  'throbbing nipple' to herself as she walked back to the booth. Zane and creepy af Audrey Colbert waiting allowed for Diana to unsubtly hot foot it out of there, which was a great throwback to her refusal to be in the same room as Audrey in ep 3.

It was a also great opportunity to bring Zane and Kelsey back together and who doesn't love an awks 'accidentally had the mic open and didn't realize' moment when you're talking about how your author is definitely a murderer? I feel like Audrey may go and find another publisher now (just a hunch) but I would really like to see more of her because this character is a type of unhinged that we haven't seen on this show and I think that could be a lot of fun to see play out. I have to say that Kelsey Peters is NOT someone I picked as a boop-er of noses, yet there she was at the bar, booping Zane's nose and this was my favourite interaction of theirs in the series. I was totally digging the dynamic this ep and it will be very interesting to see what that will look like with the new work arrangements. Also, where was Zane when that was all going down btw? I assume Charles filled him in on the bringing the companies together plan before it happened?

Liza's excitement when she told Charles the idea of merging the two companies was endearing and I am unabashedly a big fan of Charles, but his attempt at convincing Liza to join him at Mercury after she tells him that she won't leave Millennial and Kelsey, by saying he left his company to be with her, was super shitty. But it was also super necessary. Because at some point this needed to be said and most importantly, Liza needed to call him out on it and let him know that he cannot use it as a bargaining chip. One of the things I love most about the Charles/Liza dynamic (aside from all the things, but that's another essay) is that Liza is her own advocate in this relationship, she will stand her ground when something is important to her and does not compromise herself to appease Charles. He is equally as stubborn but they are able to have the hard conversations that need to be had but this doesn’t lead them to question whether they want to be together (I very much appreciated the kiss on the cheek Liza gave Charles before she left for this very reason).

So of course being on a psychedelics retreat together when they've hit a roadblock in the relationship was definitely a very good idea...Well it was for us as viewers at least, because pretty much from the moment they arrive and Liza and Charles start talking straight to camera as the literal doctor (my god that whole line just cracked me up) informs them they'll be taking not-LSD, we know we're not in Kansas anymore Toto. Enter Josh for *insert drama here* purposes (and I do think he should franchise Inkburg coz why not?) and we have, ladies and gentlefolk, a recipe for some next level hilarity. But not before Josh and Liza share a lingering look as they take their dose of illicit substance to ensure that Lizs's trip includes one down memory lane.

I have made my feelings about love triangles known many times (quick recap: hard dislike. Tricky to pull off without one or more characters looking bad. Very tiring as a viewer and quite frankly I am pretty lazy and tired most of the time irl so just don't want it on my screen), however I will say that I did not see this ep as re-stoking the love triangle, I saw it as simply reminding us that it is there and can be reignited by the writers at any stage. Within the context of everything that was happening, Liza hallucinating Josh at her door actually made sense and I have no doubt that various factions of Younger fans had meltdowns at that moment for very different reasons.. Sutton Foster's physical comedy throughout this whole ep was second to none, starting at her realization that it was, in fact, Charles who had come to her room and continuing the next morning at breakfast.

Speaking of which, there was something about seeing Liza and Charles in the breakfast room together that made my sappy heart swell, it had such a vacay feel and I'm sure if you muted your volume you could pretend they were just listening to the activities for the day before going off to spend some quality time together...I mean, maybe that would be a thing, I wouldn't know....where was I? Oh yes, the unfolding of a series of comedy golden McNuggets™ that I am still laughing about. We learn that Liza is a supertaster (for those like me who pretended they understood what that meant but then realized they did not, I googled it and it means that she is sensitive to the drugs and basically the microdose affects her like a full dose, you're welcome) and I am chuckling even now when I think about Josh's, 'hey guys' in Charles' voice as he joins the table.

This is another one of those concepts that I feel like could've not worked at all but sweet lawd, the Charles and Josh voice swap scene was next level and I could watch this and the scene that follows over and over and never not laugh. I again LOVE the decision to have the guys talk to camera because it absolutely emphasizes the whole situation and Liza sidestepping away to visit the nurse just rounded off the whole crazy caper.

I have no words to describe how much I love the flat out ridiculous perfection of the visit to Nurse Maureen. Yes Liza has the epiphany that Josh and Charles bring out different things in her (though hot sex seems to be at the core of both so ya know, sounds like a win in the past and present and good for her on both accounts) and again, the unlikely scenario that her ex and current boyfriends are in the same place at the same time (while she is taking mind altering substance) has just played out so it also makes sense in this context. Quite frankly I'm shipping her and Maureen pretty hard at this point because a) it is not easy to pull off eyeshadow that green and b) everyone deserves someone in their life who has the kind of belief in Liza that Maureen does when she tells her 'I bet you can' dance just like me. I don't even know how to explain whatever that dance is but I just know that I want someone/something in my life that will windmill their/it's arms at me with such fervor that I find myself dancing with two attractive men in tuxedos on a galaxy stage.

I cannot express the joy I felt watching the entire dance scene, it was all just so. much. fun. But my absolute hands down favourite moment was when it cut back to the retreat and we, along with Charles and Josh, discover that Liza is in fact dancing with 'Maureen' the plant and seriously, this is up there with my highlights of the entire series. That and the reveal that the selfies Liza was taking were sent to Diana (Diana speaking to Liza in her 'sexy' voice, asking 'where is my plant?', Liza's, 'Maureen', I just cannot with every part of this glorious tie in at the end of the ep. I am sending Ashley Skidmore a houseplant to express my gratitude for gifting us with these moments*). Seeing Josh and Charles together was great but it was clear a scene was missing and I am SO glad that Younger released the deleted conversation between the two of them coz it was both necessary because YES and also because it suddenly made Charles' entire conversation and reason for his decision to sell Mercury make sense (ie. was pretty pivotal).

I big A adored Charles and Liza's conversation (and outfits and aesthetic overall) as they're leaving the retreat, the shift in Charles is palpable and it's just such a credit to the writing and acting to be able to convey so much in such a brief scene. Maggie of course experienced quite the shift herself, from ceiling to floor, with a sufficient amount of dangling as her helpful neighbourly pervert got himself off as she got herself down. But most importantly, Maggie got her mojo back (though is she not currently dating Beth? In which case location of missing mojo: unclear).

Now I gotta tell you, the final scene of this week's ep up and got me. Big time. Kelsey's earlier comment, that she really hates competing with Charles, certainly added weight to the resolution we've all been waiting for this season. Charles' honesty about his realisation that he is hurting his family, not to mention him confirming that he means Kelsey, Diana and Liza and that he wants to come home, ugh, my insides are gooey just writing these words, leads to his offer to Kesley and honestly, the interactions between all of them in this scene was wonderful. I loved that Kelsey held the room, that Charles was putting the offer to her from one businessperson to another (though thank goodness Diana was there to point out the difference between $1 and $1000000 eek! Also, I get that it would never occur to anyone that the price would be $1 so I'll cut Kels some slack). Diana looks like she is going to cry at any moment from elation and I love the way Kelsey asks for the approval of the ladies before shaking Charles' hand. This will forever be one of my favourite scenes on this show.

The thought of Charles coming back and working as an editor alongside Liza is an actual dream. I mean, I am very happy to be taken on the journey the writers set, but I have legit wondered what it would be like to see him in that role and he and Liza working together properly as equals and I absolutely cannot believe it's going to happen.

Well this ended up being quite a bit longer than I expected (lol, what a surprise). Bring on episode 7!

*I will not in fact be sending Ashley Skidmore a houseplant because I live in a very far away country, it would cost a lot of money and it is 1000% creepy to receive a dead plant from a stranger.

The Ask Arcana Questionnaire

(credit: fireflytrio)

Using the asks the Arcana devs have answered on their tumblr, I’ve composed together a list of questions you can use for your own MCs/fan apprentices/etc if you so wish! You’re by no means obligated to answer all questions, but rather use it as a tool to help develop your character(s). This list will also be updated as the devs hold more Q&A’s over time. Have fun! (Warning: long post ahead)

Part 1.) Characterization. Use these questions as a way to flesh out some of your character’s personality, background, likes/dislikes, etc.

Their surname? For some reason, people feel discouraged to nickname Selendri; instead, they feel a compulsion to call her by her name more often than necessary

Halloween costume? Albino deer spirit

Familiar/animal friend? None of her own, but she has an affinity with ferrets

Big spoon or little spoon? Little spoon

Religious? Perceiver

Favorite fruit? Saturn Peach

Idea of a nice date? Dinner at a tavern, followed by too many drinks leading to increasingly personal chat. Nice stroll by the riverside, potentially smutty goodnight kisses  

Favorite season? Beginning of spring, when it’s still chilly

When is their Birthday? Around the end of November

Favorite carnival ride?

Favorite emoji?

Like to do in their free time? Cats stalking, reading, sewing, drinking

What sports would they play? Dressage

What kind of car would they drive?

How do they treat their significant other when they’re feeling unusually affectionate? Settling on their bodies, proclaiming the beauty of unusual spots (wrists, eyelids). She’s embarassed in voicing her feelings, so she downplays her declarations, but you can’t mistake when she’s in love 

Favorite manga?

Main store to shop for clothes (if they lived in our world)? Thrift shops, then customization (with mixed outcomes)  

What were they like growing up? Quiet child, seemingly unable to scream. Slight know-it-all, prone to taxonomic obsessions (plants names, horse/dogs/cats breeds). Used to bite herself when frustrated

What kind of drunk are they at a party? Cheerful istrionic drunk

Reaction to someone telling a dirty joke? One-upping

Reaction to stubbing their toe? *Insert Peter Griffin knee gif*

Favorite color? Indigo

Favorite See’s chocolate?

Favorite poptart flavor?

How they sing at karaoke parties? Opens up with a deep/sad/serious song, then it’s 70% silly stuff the more she drinks

Preferred social media platform?

Opinion on puns? Dad jokes rule

How do they typically deal with their problems? Over-analisys

Spice girl nickname? Uh, Princess Monstertruck Spice?

Personal hygiene routine? She only showers in the evening. Water-splashes in the morning. Hates washing teeth (but does dutifully)

Favorite alcoholic drink? Beer

Favorite genre of music? Anything with violins crescendos

Modern AU job/career?

Favorite musical?

How would they celebrate their significant other’s birthday? Costume/themed treasure hunt involving all their friends

Would they rather turn into a tiny rhinoceros or a giant hamster? She’d try to pet them both

What would they do for their significant other for Valentine’s Day? Anything. Nothing. It doesn’t matter. Chocolate will be involved, tho

Pros and cons to having them as a roommate? Clean, but untidy. Friendly, but guards her spaces eagerly. Hates to share food.

Favorite meme?

Favorite three pokemon?

Michelle Obama is powerful in plaid while talking friendship, social media, and parenting

Michelle Obama commanded the stage at the Obama Foundation summit in Chicago on Wednesday, wearing an eye-catching plaid dress.

The former first lady paired her look with strappy, black heels, $295 hoop earrings, and a $2,000 chain choker with white diamonds and sea pearls — both pieces by Jennifer Fisher.

With husband Barack Obama listening in the audience, Michelle sat for a conversation about friendship, social media, and parenting with her poet pal Elizabeth Alexander.

“I love my husband and he is my rock, but my girlfriends are my sanity,” said Michelle, according to People. “And when you live eight years in the White House, and you can’t even open a window, you can’t walk out on your balcony without notifying three people, your walk outside is you walk around the same circle in the South Lawn over and over again, because the thought of you leaving those gates requires 50 people’s attention, and work and convenience. … When you live like that for eight years, you need your girlfriends. And nothing is spontaneous. All our spontaneity was basically taken away from us. I even do this now, like, ‘Can I leave?’ I don’t leave until some 30-year-old tells me ‘Ma’am, you can leave now.’ I had to plan my time with my GFs that kept me grounded and brought me laughter.”

Michelle also shared her thoughts on male friendships — or lack thereof — saying, “Women, we do it better than men. I’m, you know, sad for you guys. Y’all should get you some friends. Get you some friends and talk to each other, ‘cause that’s the other thing we do; we straighten each other out on some things, our girlfriends.”

She even name-checked her husband. “Sometimes I’m like, ‘Barack, who you talking to? And it can’t just be [Chicago businessman] Marty [Nesbitt].’ Ya’ll need to go talk to each other about your stuff because there’s so much of it. It’s so messy.”

Michelle also reflected on the unique experience of parenting daughters Malia, 19, and Sasha, 16, in the White House. “We could have spent eight years feeling sorry for them, that they were living in a bubble, that every misstep for them would be on YouTube or that they had to drive around in their teenage years with men with guns … that they didn’t have access to their father in a way. We could’ve felt bad for them and there would’ve been a truth there.”

She continued, “But our view was, this is their life, and we can’t apologize for the life they have, because a whole lot of it is good. So it was like, ‘Get up, go to school, don’t feel sorry for yourself. Yes, it’s hard but it’s hard for everybody.’ We have to raise our children to be the adults we want them to be, and that starts young. You can’t be so afraid that life will break them that you don’t prepare them for life.”

The first lady added that she was proud of her daughters’ composure in the spotlight, saying, “They have brought me so much happiness and pride, how they have carried themselves and responded to the pressures that they didn’t ask for, living a life they didn’t want but coming out on the other end as good, solid people. That happiness and pride can bring me to tears.”

Social media was also on the table, with Michelle advising people to pause before they tweet.  “When you have a voice, you can’t just use it any kind of way, you know?” she said, according to CNN. “You don’t just say what’s on your mind. You don’t tweet every thought. Most of your first initial thoughts are not worthy of the light of day.”

When the audience laughed, perceiving her remarks as a dig toward President Trump, Michelle said she wasn’t “talking about anybody in particular, I’m talking about all of us.”

Michelle has been maximizing her time in Chicago: On Halloween, she teamed up with Prince Harry (a speaker at the summit) to surprise kids from Hyde Park Academy, leaving them adorably speechless.
