What Traits They Look For (OT7 Headcanon)

all members are included under the ‘keep reading’ link

m.list | requested

KSJ

maybe this is predictable

but somebody who’s gentle seems right for seokjin

as rowdy as his jokes and antics can become

he’s truly polite, gentlemanly and sweet

and somebody who’s the polar opposite most likely wouldn’t sit right with the type of kind he is

somebody with maternal/paternal instincts too

seokjin seems like a family man

and so somebody who might adapt better to a family setting might be desirable

they may also tend to be more reasonable and thoughtful

which i also think seokjin could appreciate

for physical features?

eyes

soft eyes, ones that smile too

seokjin is really good at mediating happiness amongst the boys

and somebody who physically shows their amusement at his jokes

or just his general presence

might be appealing for seokjin

MYG

for yoongi

somebody who knows when the right time to say something is

or rather, somebody with a filter

yoongi has a very level head and can assess a situation fairly quickly

somebody who is also careful with their words could be appreciated by him

also, somebody who is laidback

there are some kinds of people who need instant action to their thoughts, and yoongi seems to be more of a thinker

trusting time sounds like something yoongi would excel at, and would probably match with somebody who does the same

out of all the members

i presume yoongi to be the least judgemental when it comes to physical appearance

not that i think others are picky, but i think personality is far more superior when it comes to yoongi

JHS

for hobi, somebody who is balanced

who knows when it’s okay to be a little less carefree and hyper

and who knows when it’s time to calm down

as much as he’s our sunshine

he’s very aware of the situation he’s in and knows when it’s time to be serious/professional

somebody who has to be reminded of when the time is right doesn’t seem like a good match for hoseok

physically...

i’m just saying

most likely to prefer an hourglass figure

like i said, i don’t think any member would limit themselves

but preferences are preferences

and hobi just strikes me as a hips kinda guy

KNJ

namjoon

the template of an ideal man

likes hes said before, i think namjoon is attracted to intelligence

not even necessarily educational intelligence. someone with a lot of common sense as well

domestic intelligence too

someone who can tell him something he doesn’t know, or someone who can listen to him explain all the things that they don’t know

for physical features

i’m just gonna say it

namjoon’s an ass man

i just know it

and uh, you know it too

PJM

jimin is our angel in many different ways

so somebody who’s just as angelic as him might suit really well

i’m talking somebody who goes out of their way to interact with people, babies, pets

because they genuinely enjoy spreading happiness

just like imagine jiminsmiling, watching them pet a dog they meet on the street :(((

i think jimin’s favourite physical feature might just be the lips

as, of course, he has some of the best lips going

it might be difficult to find some that match his but

i think it would be a feature jimin keeps a particular eye for

KTH

oh look another ideal man template

i think saying somebody who’s good with kids is too predictable

so instead, i’ll say somebody who is open to knew ideas and hobbies, activities, all of the above

we don’t give enough credit to taehyung for how thoughtful, expressive and diverse he is/his interests are

i think somebody who is willing to see his perspective

and try things from his perspective

would be desirable for taehyung

for physical features

i also don’t think he’s likely to be too picky

but

if anything, i think taehyung would also be the type to look at the eyes first

i have no doubt that gazing into his eyes is enough to put you into a trance of some kind

so eyes that he could get lost in? seems awfully taehyung to me

JJK

well here we go, fanfiction’s favourite boyfriend

honestly for jungkook, somebody who’s outgoing

i also think we forget how introverted he is sometimes

especially in foreign situations without members around

and so somebody who approaches new surroundings slightly easier might be a good match

yknow

i’ve thought about this and

jungkook’s super cuddly and definitely likes to snuggle

so for a physical feature, maybe somebody with a larger frame

as somebody with said larger frame

bro i’d love to cuddle with him all night

^ thank you so much!! i hope this is okay for you :)

I’m in Love with An Uptown Girl

Aaron Conners x (F) Reader

Requested By: @sunflosver

Warnings: Langauge, Smut

I hate the subway sometimes. This shit is fucking crowded 24/7.

Aaron held onto the top railing as the subway takes forever to get to his stop. He tends to people watch since New York has quite the diverse crowd. When the next stop came he watches this girl give her seat up for the old lady, nice to know not every New Yorker is an asshole. He watches her stumble as the subway moves before she could grab any rail but once she did she laughs at herself.

She sees the bright side of things at least...

As the subway continues on its route, Aaron checked his phone for any emails regarding an upcoming award ceremony when he stops to listen to the humming. He laughs a bit to himself before moving closer when the subway stopped again as the humming came from the girl he was...really just admiring.

“Uptown girl...she’s been living in her uptown world...” Y/N sways singing softly just mouthing the next line when she looked up and screamed startling herself and Aaron.

“Sorry—didn’t mean to...”

“No sorry. You just weren’t there before” Y/N laughs a bit kind of embarrassed she yelled in the subway train knowing a lot of people are pissed about their day. “Sorry”

“It’s okay, just. Yeah. No I’m sorry for startling you. Didn’t mean to” Aaron states catching the upper railing when the train moved again. “Just like the song you are listening to”

“Oh...you saw me lip syncing...”

“And humming a bit-“

“To Uptown Girl” Y/N smiles nervously laughing. “Yeah that’s a bit embarrassing”

“No no! Not at all...it’s honestly my favorite song”

“Really? I honestly thought I was the only one” Y/N smiles up at Aaron. “Because yknow. People listen to...well annoying stuff these days”

“Hey they all aren’t bad just-“

“The oldies are my favorite” The two said in unison as it sparked something between the two.

“Hey I was gonna grab some dinner...do you want to tag along? Talk more about the good songs of the 80s?”

“Yeah I’d like that, but first...you wanna tell me what your name is...Uptown Girl?” Aaron smiles catching a laugh from Y/N.

“It’s Y/N, and you?”

“Aaron”

“Hmm...” Y/N looks away smiling. “I like that name”

Aaron continues to have a smile on his face enjoying the small moment that’s going to have plenty of more as the night goes on.

The two found themselves in Central Park as Y/N watches Aaron enjoy what they got. She laughs at his over-reactions over the food but she thought it was cute a little.

“How the fuck did I not know about The Halal Guys sooner? I’ve lived here for most of my life” Aaron laughs continuing to eat his lamb over rice.

“Stick with me and you’ll know about all the good food joints” Y/N smiles taking a bite of one of her falafel patties from her platter.

“Let me guess...you’re a food blogger and you review all the spots in New York”

“Somethings gotta get me out of the underground”

“The fuck that’s supposed to mean?” Aaron laughs taking a sip of his beer as Y/N smiles showing the magazine cover on her phone of Aaron with Lebron. “Shit. I hated that photo shoot by the way”

“I bet. Besides. To answer the underground thing, and then the magazine cover...I work for Admission and Records for the general hospital and that’s in the basement level. At least for the hospital in Manhattan.” Y/N states as she sets her beer down. “We get magazines with docs on them all the time. I just had a weird suspicion and had to confirm it”

“Well...not to sound weird. But do you like what you see?” Aaron laughs making Y/N let one out ending with a smile.

“I do, I really do” Y/N smiles watching Aaron stand up from the bench holding his hand out in front of her.

“Wanna get out of here?”

Y/N looks at his hand for a moment before smiling and taking it into hers.

“Lead the way doc”

Uptown girl

After a short cab ride, and a very silent elevator ride. Y/N pushes herself against Aaron feeling his hands rest on the small of her back. He presses his lips against hers without any hesitation.

She's been living in her uptown world

I bet she's never had a backstreet guy

The two stumbled in the hallway laughing as they continued to kiss one another not caring if any neighbor steps out to see them. Aaron suddenly picked Y/N up pinning her against his door feeling her wrap her legs around his waist and arms around his neck. She admires him for a moment before going back to what they were doing.

I bet her mama never told her why

During their make out against the door, Y/N parts from Aaron reaching into his back pocket for his keys. Aaron immediately took his chance pressing his lips against her neck as she struggles to unlock the door without looking.

“Aaron I can’t—-Oh” Y/N stopped herself feeling her face flush when Aaron started to bite leaving his mark. “A-Ah...” she tried to contain herself when Aaron started to bite and trail his hands up her back under her shirt.

I'm gonna try for an uptown girl

She's been living in her white bread world

Y/N finally got the door unlocked as Aaron held her waist pulling her close so she can get the door open without falling back. Once they were in his apartment she moved her legs back to the floor feeling him let go. Y/N immediately kicked off her shoes taking off her jacket as Aaron closed the door. He stood there watching Y/N pull her shirt off over her head tossing it to the side spotting the man staring at her.

As long as anyone with hot blood can

“Going to continue standing there looking pretty? Or” Y/N smirks walking closer to Aaron tugging at his pants by the belt loops. “are you going to help me out of my jeans?” she whispers into his ear before moving her hands up his shirt.

“God aren’t you a wild one” Aaron laughs taking his belt off as he also kicked off his shoes.

And now she's looking for a downtown man

That's what I am

Y/N closes the space between them kissing Aaron once again. He couldn’t stop thinking about how soft her lips were, soon giving off a small moan to her biting his bottom lip.

The two quickly made their way into the bedroom as Aaron lifted Y/N laying her on the bed towering her. He unbuttoned her jeans taking them off along with her panties before looking Y/N dead in the eye making her confused.

“Aaron I-“ Y/N gasps when Aaron inserted two fingers and began pumping slowly gradually getting faster making her arch her back off the bed moaning.

Aaron enjoying himself felt Y/N’s hands end up on the back of his head pulling him down to kiss her even deeper than before. He continued to pump his fingers making her moan in his mouth.

And when she knows

What she wants from her time

Y/N carefully pushes him back blushing heavily feeling her body heat up.

“Are you going...to take me...or what?” She breathes heavily letting out a semi loud gasp Aaron pulled his fingers out standing to his feet on the edge of the bed.

Y/N props herself up by her elbows watching Aaron take off his pants and briefs. She felt her heart race hearing her heart pound in her ears.

“Holy...” She states to the size of his dick looking at him in the eyes. “Do you have a license to wield that weapon?”

Aaron laughs a bit climbing over her again spreading her legs aligning himself at her entrance. Y/N wraps her arms around his neck bringing him down a bit looking him in the eye before bringing her head back when he pushes himself in.

Holy shit...

And when she wakes up

And makes up her mind

After their moment, Y/N laid in the bed staring at the ceiling looking over at Aaron who was still asleep. She propped herself up covering herself in the blanket looking at Aaron once again telling herself this isn’t one of those situations. But something else told her otherwise...fuck her brain. Slipping out of the bed was the easy part, getting dressed in the dark was the hardest knowing most of her clothes are at the front door. Maneuvering in the dark was a whole other challenge as Y/N slammed her knee into the dresser biting her inner cheek to keep herself from yelling. She looks back to see if he woke and he didn’t, finally making her way out.

When Aaron finally woke up he immediately reached over feeling no one beside him. He frowns sitting up looking over to the empty space.

“...I wish she stayed..”

She'll see I'm not so tough

Just because

The end of the week came around and it would’ve been nice having a date to an award ceremony but Aaron couldn’t get Y/N out of his head and would’ve wanted to go with her than any other woman. He steps into the event seeing people enjoy one another’s company introducing themselves. As Aaron mingles with a few other doctors and administration for a few hospitals, he spots someone in the corner of his eye immediately walking over.

“Ah! Dr. Conners!” The lovely old lady caught the man heading over in her direction. “Have you met Y/F/N Y/L/N? She’s in admissions at general in Manhattan. The poor girl busted her knee a week ago and I was just telling her you’re in orthopedics. Maybe you can check it out for the girl’s sake.” She smiles at Aaron as he looked at Y/N with worry but she always kept a smile.

“I told you I’m fine Ms. Henderson” Y/N smiles as the old lady grabbed Aaron’s arm pulling him down a little.

“She’s a lovely girl Aaron. You should...what do the younger crowds say...hit that?”

Y/N snorts hearing that as she turns away to contain her laugh. Aaron smiles a bit patting the old lady’s hand gently.

“Ms. Henderson if you’ll excuse us?”

“Oh of course!” She smiles leaving the two alone.

As Y/N composed herself she smiles at Aaron as he rests his hand on her cheek. She eases into it smiling.

“I was upset when you left...”

“Mm. I knew I should’ve stayed...just thought it was yknow...a heat of the moment kind of fling”

“Oh Y/N...if I’m being honest about my feelings here. You already snuck your way into my heart” Aaron smiles catching a settle blush forming on Y/N’s cheeks.

“I’m glad the feeling is mutual...” Y/N smiles feeling Aaron wrap his arm around her waist bringing her in as she kisses him lovingly.

When they parted Aaron looked Y/N up and down admiring the dress she was in. She smiles before pushing his hand away laughing.

“Don’t pull up my dress”

“She did say you busted your knee...”

“There was just bruising. Let’s just say...you have to move your dresser” Y/N smiles making Aaron laugh a bit bringing her close again.

“What do you say to...Let’s get out of here?” Aaron smiles catching that beautiful smile of hers once again.

“Babe, this is a ceremony where you are also getting an award. It would be rude to leave”

“You’re right, but will you sit with me?”

“Do you even have to ask?” Y/N smiles laughing before kissing his cheek.

Aaron smiles happily taking her hand into his and heading over to where he has to sit for this event. He couldn’t help but keep smiling the entire time, glad she didn’t disappear and came back.

I’m in love with an uptown girl

Band Camp Day 3

how tf do I have to take 20 shots of water when my band director wasn’t even there until the last two and a half hours

August 14th, 2020

<< 3 >>

Honestly it doesn’t even feel like I’ve done 3 days of this:

but don’t ask me what it actually feels like because idk that either

so we start the day with the longest heckin band block e v e r

and like it’s not, it was just half an hour, but my arms hurt afterward

if you don’t know what that means, it just means we were at attention for thirty minutes straight marching, listening to whatever the drum majors told us to do

"My arms hurt!” “That’s the point, Kyle!”

So then we got a quick break, then split into marching sectionals

I wasn’t doing very hot during sectionals, like, I kept messing things up, I was really tired, etc

and then we were like “well, we did everything, now what?”

We saw one of the sections attempting a snake, and we were like “well. We could try.”

a snake is when we form one line and follow whatever the leader does. It’s very independent and takes some concentration

my section leader wanted to be the front, and of course I was put second, so it’s Extra Concentration

the thing is, we aren’t exactly allowed to do the snake because we need to be social distancing. Everything is four step spacing, and traditionally, the snake is two step spacing

so we did four step spacing, which made it even harder at first because I wasn’t used to it

we demonstrated for the freshmen, and I messed up but hey

so then we did it For Real

so we were doing the snake, and it was all fun, everything was fine, I wasn’t messing up, and then another section joined

the mellos or altos or something

and we were like oooOoOoOOO because it’s always fun when sections join forces and do things like that

also Extra Pressure to not mess up but yknow

and then even more sections joined, the drum majors joined, and we had a Really Long Snake

We went all the way across the field, since the more sections we got, we got to take their sectionals space, and the other drill instructors joined ours in clicking

oh btw, the drill instructors don’t do it with us, they keep time. Ours was like “i’ll start and stop you”

and ofc she couldn’t stop us with so many people--not easily, anyway, since vocal commands wouldn’t reach any of us

anyway one of the drill instructors ran up to my section leader and was like “go circle [our band director]”

he was in his car, but we went straight up to him

he wasn’t thrilled to see that the piccolos were leading lemme tell you

but then after that, we got called off (I didn’t hear it but)

we were doing that for, like, 20-25 minutes

apparently, when the clarinets joined, our drill instructor said “should I stop them? the piccs have been doing this for a while” their drill instructor replied with, “nah, it’s helping them learn” “they’ve been doing this for 15 minutes” “oh”

It was a fun moment

we took a mini break then when back to full block band, and honestly?? that snake helped my marching so much??

like d a n g my step sizes were all equal and everything

I had to lead some stuff (due to where I stand and the exercises we were doing) and I didn’t mess anything up

and honestly that’s all I remember from morning rehearsal, like those were The Two Big Things

lunch

playing rehersal

the personnel manager, who we love, gave us piccs permission to move and create our own little block in the back because we couldn’t see

not the band director

the personnel manager

who asked the band director, and quote, “he doesn’t care”

hm

playing rehearsal was fine, we did sectionals, napped for the first 10 minutes because we were dead

btw at this point our band director hadn’t been seen for hours and the drum majors had been doing everything

he was writing drill

so we took a break after sectionals (lots of breaks because it was insanely hot out today) then got back into block

released half an hour early because the drum majors Understand

dinner

got biggby

night rehearsal!

we learned pregame!

so the picc numbers were in pairs, so our drill instructor paired returners with freshmen, and apparently all the other drill instructors did the same, so now in the beginning sets, there’s an entire line of drill instructors/high skilled returners, and the next line is Entirely Freshmen

Which, due to how pregame is written, causes problems later in the drill

I eventually end up with a few freshmen around me, one trumpet and one alto, and they’re both super nice and followed my supervision

generally in pregame, the sections all start out spread out, and by the end we’re all together

but this time the piccs are still spread out by the end, and you can really tell we were the Fillers

we sing at the end of every rehearsal, and juniors led, so I was like Oh Heck That’s Me

and then we were done!

tonight’s activity was getting ice cream, and the piccs all collectively decided to skip because we’re tired

also I wanna point out that both racially and sexually we are the most diverse section, which in my small, white school, is pretty awesome

[  𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐲𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧 ] :   hey amanda, i have no idea if you have any tips but i've been trying to get an rp started and even though i've been promoting and sending shout out requets, etc i'm not getting any apps, just asks. is there anything you can think of that i could try and change that? i know some things flop and there's not much you can do, but i don't wanna just give up and let it!

oof  :(  i’m  really  sorry  about  that  !  i  know  firsthand  just  how  disheartening  that  can  be  ~  but  it’s  lovely  that  you  don’t  want  to  give  up ,  that  is  the  type  of  energy  that  gets  you  places  👏👏  i’m  not  the  best  at  advice  or  tips  but  here  are  a  few :

some  things  you  could  potentially  do  is  some  tweaks  here  +  there --- like  maybe  rewording  your  plot  or  setting  up  a  locations  page  if  you  haven’t  already.  something  i  love  seeing  in  rps  is  when  members  are  allowed  to  create  their  own  npcs  or  add  their  own  locations, etc  ~  i  think  that’d  be  a  good  way  to  spark  some  interest  ?   ~  taking  a  step  back  &  trying  to  view  your  rp  from  a  different  pov  ;  is  your  theme  easy  to  read ?  can  you  easily  navigate  around  &  easily  find  things ?  are  all  of  your  links  working  properly ?

(  putting  the  rest  under  a  read  more  because  it  got  longer  than  expected )

another  thing  you  could  do  is  looking  at  your  app  style  ( appless, semi appless, etc )  and  seeing  if  it  suits  your  rp ?  which  sounds  weird ,  i  know ,  because  you  can  use  whatever  app  you  want  --- it  is  your  rp  after  all.  but  think  about  the  genre  your  rp  is  in  and  just  see  if  your  app  pertains  to  the  type  of  audience  that  would  be  attracted  to  your  rp  or  if  it  makes  sense  ~  because  it’d  be  a  bit  hard  to  gather  inspiration  to  write  a  full  on  bio  app  if  you  run  a  plottless  rp ,  yknow  ?  unless  you  had  a  few  pages  with  worldbuilding  information.  i  say  take  a  look  at  your  app  because  that’s  what  people  will  use  to  apply  you  know ?  ------  also  make  sure  you  give  an  option  to  send  apps  via  submit  ,  even  if  it’s  appless  because  some  apps  are  just  a  little  too  long  to  put  through  the  askbox.

something  i  think  is  important  is  diversity  among  rps  !  so  i  think  making  sure  you’re  at  least  trying  to  include  diversity  could  definitely  help !!  uuuuuuuuuuh  another  thing  you  could  do  ..  though  it’s  a  lot  more  time  consuming  ..  is  revamp  your  rp  ?  even  if  it’s  brand  new ,  i  think  spicing  your  theme  +  pages up  could  definitely  help.

i’m  sorry  if  that  wasn’t  much  help ~  it  can  be  hard  when  you’re  trying  your  best  and nothing  seems  to  work.  keep  at  it  though  !!  ----  i’m  not  sure  what  else  i  can  do  to  help ?  if  you  want  to  give  me  the  name  of  your  rp,  i’d  be  more  than  happy  to  reblog  a  few  posts ( @  different  times )  to  spread  the  word  :-)

best  wishes  !!!   ~  ♡
