Pas de Deux

Ballet AU, 'enemies' to friends to lovers, secret dating

Hinny with a Jily prequel (The Potter Pointe Shop - which I will start posting after chapter 2)

Explicit

10+ Chapters

50K+ words

Ginny has worked so hard to become a talented ballet dancer among the rich kids who could afford expensive classes from a young age. Finally she gets her big break, only to be paired with Harry Potter. She has never met him, but she assumed he only earned his spot with nepotism. His mother is a retired ballet star (and Ginny's idol) and his father and grandfather own the iconic Potter pointe shop. It takes her time to let him in, but once she does it's difficult to keep any distance at all.

Chapter 1: The Lady of Daisies

Ginny walked into the ballet studio in the early morning. As the door closed behind her, her eyes fell on the guy standing at the counter of the receptionist, chatting about something. His dark hair was windswept, despite the lack of wind outside. He ran a hand through it as he talked, messing up the locks even more. He was tall with an unmistakable dancers build with strong but precise muscles. Even his fingers seemed to do a dance of their own as he reached the nape of his neck. His hand landed on the counter again, fingers drumming against the wood.

He paused his conversation and his eyes turned to her. They were an unusual green, it was a striking colour against his dark brows and dark long eyelashes that made her jealous. As their eyes locked, he offered her a lopsided grin in greeting, one she returned with a teasing smile of her own. Ginny had never put much stock in the whole love-at-first-sight thing, but as she swept past him to look at the noticeboard, she admitted to herself it was a bit of an instant crush. There was simply something about him.

DISNEY STUDIO AU: The Three Caballeros

My take on human version of Disney's Three Caballeros for my AU.

The Three Caballeros is a Latin pop idol group, widely popular in North, Central and South America. The members consists with Panchito (the lead vocalist), Jose (sub-vocalist and dancer), and Donald (sub-vocalist and rapper). Panchito Pistoles is of Mexican descent, José Carioca is Brazilian, and Donald represents United States.

The band was found during Donald's late teen years in university he attended and had taken trip with his two friends Panchito and José to both Central and South America, forming a group "Three Caballeros" with their debut song "Cruzando el Río del Tiempo" their iconic and first Latin-pop song that has caught the attention of recording company, beginning their first step to singing career. So far, they were preparing for Europe Tour.

However, the tour was canceled when Donald's vocal chord was severely injured, causing him to unable to sing. Donald left the band to serve military service in Marine Corps for four years while Panchito and José proceed to have a singing career as duo or as singles. As Donald has been the one to came up with Latin-pop and other genres to identify their group, they struggled to keep up the "Three Caballeros" as Panchito become a Mariachi-Mexican pop singer and José became a Samba/pop singer. At some point, they were able to contact Donald and found him raising triplet nephews on his own while his sister Della left for her social working adventures around the world. Donald also made new career in acting, comedy, variety shows with Mickey and Donald. However, seeing how Donald wish to be back on stage to sing, Daisy had Panchito and José finding ways to raise money for his vocal chord recovery. 

After the vocal chord recovery and careful healing, Donald finally returned to singing career back in "Three Caballeros" with his two friends by their new album "Comeback Caballeros" under safer recording company within Disney Studio.

zhang daiyu

birth name: zhang daiyu (张黛玉) english name: daisy zhang stage name: daisy birthday: november 17th 2000 birth place: guangzhou, china positions: dancer, vocalist, choreographer, producer trainee since: july 2015

BACKSTORY: Zhang Daiyu,  known  mononymously as Daisy Zhang, was  born in Guangzhou, China, on the 17th November 2000, to her mother, Zhang Jiayi. Her father had been killed in a car accident, leaving behind his pregnant wife and their two sons, Zhang Minghao, aged five, and Zhang Tian, aged seven. Daiyu grew up relatively comfortable, the money her father had left behind, as well as the fully paid off house, giving them a secure childhood. 

As she grew up, she developed a very strong appreciation for dance, mirroring what she saw on television, leading to a lot of bruised knees, and a few hospital trips. Eventually, she began to create her own dances, and, even though they weren’t very good, she enjoyed doing it and showing her mother. As she got older, however, it was obvious that she wanted to do it full time, and she began pestering her mother for dance classes. She excelled in the classes, and by her mid-teen years, she was auditioning for companies. Her first audition, for YG, went extremely well, and she considered joining the company for a while, but was hesitant to leave her family. By the time she was ready to speak to them, the oppurtunity had passed, and she was crushed. 

However, 2014 brought JYP to China, and Daiyu was quick to jump at the oppurtunity, her mother and brothers supporting her 100%. When the audition was successful, and she re-auditioned in early 2015, she was offered a place under the company, one that she gratefully accepted. So, at the tender age of 15, Zhang Daiyu left China and moved to Korea, settling into the training, and very quickly picking up Korean as a third language, having already learned English at her late father’s request. 

The Stray Kids reality show sent her routine out of the window, and being the only female trainee involved stressed her out beyond belief. The fear of elimination, one that never came into fruition, scared her beyond belief, but the reveal of the final line-up made all of that evaporate, because...

On March 25th, 2018, Zhang Daiyu debuted with the rest of Stray Kids, and the rest is history.

FACTS ABOUT DAISY:

Her favourite colour is purple

Her favourite season is winter

She speaks Chinese, Korean and English, and she is mostly fluent in Japanese, but admits she still needs to work on it

She considers SHINee’s Taemin her role model

She is allergic to cats, meaning that, on occasion, she will have a sneezing fit around Lee Know

She choreographs a lot of the group’s dances, as well as helping to produce, but admits that her talents lie primarily with dance (vLIVE 211209)

If she wasn’t in Stray Kids, she would have still pursued dance, opening her own studio, or becoming a dance teacher

Her stage name is Daisy, but she used a combination of her first and last name, ZhangDai, when she produces

She can play the piano

She trained for two and a half years

She’s 5′3 

She admitted to spending most of her money on clothes, mostly dresses and shoes (vLIVE 190118)

She has a YouTube series called ‘Daisy Days’ wherin she vlogs her life, resulting in multiple iconic moments between her and the members

Daisy said her ideal type is; “Someone who can laugh with me, but also someone is emotionally intelligent and able to share their feelings in a comfortable and easy way.”

Her favourite artists include Fall Out Boy, Green Day and SHINee

Her fan given nickname is Flower, due to her stage name, and the members nickname her Diamond

Is The Margarita Actually American? A True Cocktail Classic, The Margarita Is A Great Gateway Into Agave Spirits.

— By The Thinking Drinkers | July 3, 2024

Open Seven Nights a Week, Cantina OK! Sydney is renowned for its distinctive take on the traditional margarita. Photograph By Dexter Kim

Other Than Straight Up, What’s The Best Way To Enjoy Tequila?

Easy. Have it in a margarita. It’s been one of America’s favourite mixed drinks for the past 10 years and it’s a stone-cold tequila, and mezcal, classic. What’s more, it’s a superb sip for summer, it’s simple to make and easy to drink — even if you’re apprehensive about agave spirits. You need, however, to let agave spirits into your life. They were the only spirits to see a rise in UK sales and last year.

Sounds Good. What Is It?

Depending on which bartender you ask, the margarita is a tequila twist on a sour, a sidecar or a daisy – all of which comprise of a base spirit, an acidic component (lemon, lime) and a sweet ingredient (liqueur). The first written recipe, published in a 1953 issue of Esquire, recommended an ounce of tequila, a dash of triple sec and lime or lemon juice — and purists argue that, aside from the addition of a salt rim, a true margarita shouldn’t veer away from this core trio. In this, its most classic form, it’s served either on the rocks, straight up or frozen.

Who Invented It?

Oh no. We were hoping you weren’t going to ask that. No other cocktail’s creation is mired in more mystery. All manner of theories abound — many of which, like the margarita itself, should be taken with a generous pinch of salt.

Several bars, either side of the Mexican border, claim to have been the drink’s birthplace, with some believing it was a Texan Drink, created in homage to either actor Rita Hayworth (whose real name was Margarita Cansino) or singer Peggy (Margaret) Lee in the late 1940s.

Another popular tale is of a Texan Socialite called Margaret ‘Margarita’ Sames who, while living it up in Acapulco, mixed Tequila with Cointreau before adding Lime and a Salt Rim. Known initially as ‘Margarita’s drink’, its popularity spread via her significant social network, which included John Wayne and Tommy Hilton, who added it to the cocktail menu across his Eponymous Hotel Chain.

While the marketing folk at Cointreau push Sames’s story, some hail bartender Carlos ‘Danny’ Herrera as The Creator, claiming he first poured the drink at a Tijuana Roadside Restaurant for a Young Dancer named Marjorie King. Danny served the drink to Majorie, who claimed she was allergic to every spirit other than tequila, in a Stemmed Glass Rimmed with Rock Salt and Christened it ‘Margarita’ — the nearest name in Spanish to Marjorie. When pressed on the exact date for when this happened, Danny wavered between 1947 and 1948. “Three things happen when you get old,” he said. “You lose your memory, and I can’t recall the other two.”

What If You Find Tequila And Mezcal, You Know, A Bit ‘Challenging’?

Just like the Martini and the Daiquiri, the popularity of the Margarita has seen it mutate. Some use additional or Alternative Ingredients, ranging from Chilli and Amaretto to Red Wine, Chartreuse and even Single Malt Scotch whisky.

The Tommy’s margarita, however, is the most iconic twist on the classic. Created in Tommy’s Mexican Restaurant in San Francisco in the late 1980s by owner, and, and Legendary Agave Aficionado, Julio Bermejo, it’s a slightly sweeter version (owing to the use of agave syrup instead of triple sec), which is served on the rocks.

Ingredients:

50ml Ocho Blanco Tequila

25ml Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao

25ml Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice

Salt Flakes (Ideally Maldon)

Lime Wedge (Optional)

— Recipe For The Perfect Margarita By Agave Spirits Expert Jess Estes

Method:

Shake all the tequila, dry curaçao and lime juice vigorously in a cocktail shaker before double straining (running the mix through two strainers) into a rocks glass half-rimmed with salt, over cubed ice. Garnish with a lime wedge, if you like.

Where To Drink It?

1. Hacha, London. This awesome agaveria in south London’s Brixton Village is the spiritual home of the sensational mirror margarita. Designed by owner and bartender legend Deano Moncrieffe, it’s entirely see-through and made with the oils of red, white and pink grapefruits.

2. Tommy’s Mexican Restaurant, San Francisco. Hailed as the epicentre of agave spirits in the US and stocking more than 300 tequilas and mezcals, this iconic yet unassuming Mexican restaurant is owned by Julio Bermejo, who tirelessly campaigned for quality 100% agave tequilas in the 1990s.

3. Cantina OK!, Sydney. It’s all about the agave at this tiny, 20-person, hole-in-the-wall bar. Its legendary margaritas are made with hand-sourced tequilas and mezcals, hand-shaved ice and fresh hand-pressed lime juice.

4. 400 Rabbits, Nottingham. A cracking cocktail burrow inspired by Mayaheul, the Aztec deity of the agave plant, who was said to have birthed a bountiful brood of intoxicated rabbits. Expect fun times, knowledgeable staff and great drinks at reasonable prices.

National Margarita Day

It may be hard to believe, but a drink exists that embodies the very essence of joviality, the patron saint of fun, and the joyous expression of life at its absolute best. That drink is the Margarita!

On a hot day while gathering with friends, it’s hard to find something better to bring everyone together than a pitcher of this tasty refreshment.

But do be careful, as Tequila has been known to T’kill’ya if you drink too much (or at least it may make you wish you were dead). So it’s best to know where the limits are.

The good news is that virgin margarita drinks (with the limey-orangey flavor but without the alcohol) can be consumed with much less risk. This is also an excellent option for those who need to work on National Margarita Day but would still like to celebrate with a lunch-time cocktail (or mock-tail).

National Margarita Day celebrates this marvelously-delicious drink, and the rainbow of colors and flavors it comes in. While it might seem like just some ice cold tequila, triple sec, a little salt and a wedge of lime, this beverage is so much more than the sum of its parts.

In fact, a version can be found for almost any occasion. From Roasted Blueberry Basil Margaritas to the far more punchy Strawberry Sriracha Margarita. From Smoked Mangonada to Spicy Grilled Pineapple—National Margarita Day is a perfect excuse to try them all!

History of National Margarita Day

National Margarita Day was established by Nationalmargaritaday.com to help celebrate this amazing alcoholic beverage.

The history of the Margarita is a bit mysterious and varied, and several stories describe its origin. One of them says it was invented at Rancho La Gloria, down by Tijuana, when Carlos “Danny” Herrera created the recipe for Marjorie King, a Ziegfield dancer who had a distinct allergy to many spirits.

Another legend says it was invented in Galveston, Texas by Santos Cruz for a favorite patron of his, singer Patty Lee. These are just a couple of the stories of this delicious invention, and no one really knows which one is true. It’s entirely possible that they all are!

National Margarita Day Timeline

Early 1930s Tequila Daisy and Picador are popular

Ancestors of the Margarita, these two drinks evolve, likely during prohibition when tequila would have been sourced from Mexico.

1938 Carlos Herrera makes a Margarita

One of the earliest origin stories of the Margarita involves Carlos “Danny” Herrera and his restaurant called Rancho La Gloria near Tijuana. He says that he created it for dancer Marjorie King who was allergic to many spirits, but not tequila. 

1953 First know publication of a Margarita recipe

Esquire magazine publishes a recipe calling for an ounce of tequila, a dash of triple sec and the juice of half of a lime or lemon. Although a similar drink called “Tequila Daisy” is published 20 years earlier, this is the first with the name, “Margarita”.

1971 Frozen Margaritas machines are created

Mariano Martinez, a Dallas entrepreneur, repurposes an ice cream machine and fills it with Margarita ingredients, making the first prefab frozen margarita.

2008 National Margarita Day is founded

Begun by Todd McCalla, a commercial real estate agent, National Margarita Day is started with a passion for sharing the love of margaritas with the world.

How to celebrate National Margarita Day

Oh National Margarita Day, how to celebrate you? Probably with a big ol’ pitcher of Margaritas to start the trip to Margaritaville. (You knew that was coming, we couldn’t possibly go through an article about margaritas without referencing that song.)

Consider the following fun ways to pay homage to this iconic beverage:

Try a New Margarita Recipe

A great way to celebrate this day would be to mix up a glass (or pitcher to share) of a unique version of this classic drink. 

Host a Margarita Blend-Off

If it doesn’t sound appealing to go out to the restaurants and bars that are hosting National Margarita Day events, it’s always fun to host an event of your own!

For instance, invite friends to an after-work Margarita Blend-Off party on a Friday night. Sort of like a bake-off—but it’s about mixing up the perfect ‘Rita instead. Assign different participants to bring the basic ingredients (tequila, triple sec, limes). Of course, for frozen margaritas, blenders will need to be made available.

Choose two or three creative mixologists to compete to prove who can make the best margarita. (They can bring their own exotic ingredients to add into the mix.) Everyone can vote on who makes the winningest version of the drink.

The great thing about this type of party is that everyone wins because fun is had, and Margaritas are enjoyed!

Choose Tasty Food Pairings

Even a party that revolves around this delectable drink will need some nibbles to balance it out. Margaritas are traditionally served with south-of-the-border tastes such as taquitos, churros, or the simple ‘go-to’ chips and salsa

But to really get into the spirit of the day, consider serving Margarita-themed foods! Of course, that will mean giving up some of those precious drink ingredients, but it will totally be worth it.

· Try a Margarita Pie, which is similar to a Key Lime Pie but adds in some tequila. Some recipes are so easy they don’t even have to be baked, just chilled.

· Margarita Dip is a hit for those who like to add pizzazz to their fruit (or pretzels for a sweet-and-salty flair). The dip is easy to make, including cream cheese, whipped topping, tequila and lime (of course!).

· Margarita Grilled Shrimp is an easy appetizer to throw on the grill. Just marinate shrimp ahead of time in a garlicky, lime-y, spicy, tequila-and-triple sec mixture and then grill to perfection!

Wear Festive, Margarita-Inspired Gear

In celebration of this festive occasion, consider inserting lime-green and yellow themes into the wardrobe of the day! Some people like to paint their nails in a shimmery lime green, while others choose to sport a pale green tie with their shirt and trousers.

Since the word “margarita” actually translates to “daisy” in Spanish, incorporating daisies into the day’s apparel or décor would be a perfect addition to the festivities.

Limes, tequila, salt and triple sec are simple ingredients, and yet they bring about such joy and delight. No matter how big or small, National Margarita Day can be celebrated in all kinds of ways, with adventurous recipes, a party, or just a personal wardrobe nod!

National Margarita Day FAQs

What is in a Margarita?

Margaritas are very simple, containing only a few ingredients: tequila, lime juice and triple sec. The drink is often served in a stemmed glass with a salted rim and placed over ice.

When is National Margarita Day?

Margarita Day takes place each year on February 22. It is celebrated in a variety of ways, most of which include tequila, triple sec and limes!

How to make a Margarita?

For a Margarita, simply add 4 ounces of tequila, 2 ounces of triple sec, 1 ½ ounces of lime juice to two glasses with salted rims. Add ice and garnish with lime wedges. Frozen Margaritas are made similarly but are made with more ice and placed in a blender.

What does a Margarita taste like?

Many people think a Margarita tastes like a sweet limeade made for adults. It is both citrusy and sweet, with an agave flavor because that is the plant that tequila comes from.

Why do Margaritas have salt?

Salt intensifies the flavors of sweet and sour that are inherent in the citrus and sugary ingredients in the Margarita. For many people, salt brightens up the sour flavor and provides balance.

going to talk about the ashnikko concert experience below the cut so if you're going to see her and you want to go in with no expectations like I did this is your sort of spoiler warning

It was honestly a lot more lowkey than I expected, a lot of the footage of her concerts is people absolutely losing their minds but I think because it was cold and raining people were kind of subdued, it was also a small venue which contributed to that vibe. It was good though because you could actually hear the music and not just people screaming. People were also dressed pretty normally, I was nervous about being underdressed/not going as hard as some of the other people but that wasn't the case. I was the only one masked so that's something to be aware of, if you're immunocompromised and haven't yet I would definitely spring for an n95 mask and get the new covid vax if you can. I really liked that we were in a foresty area, outside, on a full moon, even the rain added to the experience. It felt very mystical and witchy which really matched Ash's vibes. As far as the songs I loved the ones she chose. I wasn't a fan of Dying Star on the album but her performing it in person almost made me cry, it was so soft and vulnerable and really different from the rest of her songs. I didn't expect to like Don't Look At It live but everyone was so hyped about it that it made it fun, and of course everyone loved the iconic "I'm shy". You Make Me Sick was the opener and it was a great choice, it got everyone super excited since it's the most popular song on the album. Cheerleader and Chokehold Cherry Python fucked as expected. The choreo for Weedkiller was amazing, there were only two dancers on stage but they honestly filled up the stage a lot and made you feel like a lot was going on. Invitation and Possession of a Weapon were both incredibly powerful in person, the righteous rage was palpable in the audience. She encouraged everyone to sing along to Stupid which imo was the right move since pretty much everyone has heard her sing it excessively at this point, it was fun for everyone to get involved. Working Bitch was also one she encouraged people to sing along to. I particularly found the couple in front of me very funny, the girl kept turning to the man to hug him in between singing about not liking men to let him know it wasn't personal XD Manners was one that got everyone really involved as well and I'm pretty sure almost started a mosh pit because people were jumping to it. Worms and Super Soaker were a little forgettable but tbh neither are among my favorite songs so that was probably just preference, I did like her little monologue leading up to Worms and her saying "are you ready to get soaked" on Super Soaker was pretty funny considering we had all be rained on already. I have personal beef with Tantrum because of the "team psycho" thing being ableist towards people who experience psychosis but I also know that's knowledge you have to be pretty online to know so I don't really hold it against her. Slumber party was the only one I recorded the entire song of because I honestly can't choose a favorite part of that song, it's all so good and so was the choreo for it. She did a compilation of all the best parts of the Halloweenie songs and did the entirety of Innards which is by far my favorite Halloweenie, I was super excited for that because I wasn't expecting to hear any of them at the concert. Ending with Daisy was possibly the best move of the entire show, it was by far the most hype and I felt like everyone left really excited and happy. I actually stood up from my chair for a little because everyone was dancing and jumping and I wanted to join in. That was the point where I realized my feet were swollen because I stupidly chose not to wear compression socks so I had to quickly sit back down, but I wasn't even bothered because I was having so much fun. Overall, 10/10 worth the money for the ticket.

As far as the Skyline Stage at the Mann Center it was a cool venue. There's no seating for able bodied people so if you're at all worried about not being able to stand I would prepare to sit with the disabled people. The disabled section is also pretty far away from the stage, I could see the backs of the people standing farthest from the stage to give you an idea. Ashnikko does a lot of floor work in her dances so for most of the concert I was relying on the big screens to see. They were really good about parking and making sure I was able to get into the venue though and they ushered us all out pretty quickly at the end which was nice, usually leaving concerts takes forever.

"That might be true, but I'm sorry that doesn't take away from the work you've got to put into the business. Look, clubs are some of my favorite places on earth. They provide escapism for so many to just let go after having to deal with some shitty job or to celebrate something major, you're a provider of a great time. That's no easy task." Daisy let Franco know with a dismissive wave of her hand. "Sorry, I might be projecting my nepo baby fears onto you. But we work hard, sure we had a foot in the door but we had to open it." Daisy nodded. "Well, here's hoping I'm invited to the next one." She told him, the smile displayed across her features only making hers grow. "To meeting for a second time." She repeated after him, downing her shot soon after him. "She's kind of a super cool dancer..." Daisy let him know. "It took me a while to acquire her skills, actually. But now, I've got some moves of my own. I can hit an eight count with ease." She laughed. "Oh, the famed Rosewood Academy. I've only heard the stories." Daisy nodded, before narrowing her eyes. "Wait, your dad owns that place here right? Like iconic place." She said, with a snap of her fingers as she knew the name. It was at the tip of her tongues. "Katz, right? I love it there. Kudos to you and your father."

"I was just born into it so I got lucky, I just help out these days and eventually plan to take over so my parents can chill out whenever they're ready to retire or whatever, you know?" Franco said easily. He did not have the same drive that his father had, up until recently, Franco had thought he would never want to manage the clubs, but now he was enjoying it. "Afraid to say it's not my party, but we have thrown some good ones in the past." He smiled as he grabbed his own shot and clinked it iwht hers playfully. "To meeting for a second time." He knocked his drink back and then thought about it for a second. "I think I've heard of your mom, at least. But that explains why we didn't know of each other until just now, our parents aren't close." Not a bad thing at all. "My mom is Jane Winston, Rosewood Academy's principal so everyone kinda knows her and my dad is Damon Winston, a club owner which you already know."

stray kids | you as the female maknae

synopsis: you’re the female maknae of the infamous k-pop group stray kids! let’s see how you get along with these eight chaotic boys

genre: fluff, platonic, imagines

pairing: stray kids x maknae!reader

a/n: wowza another female maknae au post- yes i have an obsession with these types of writings and i have no regrets. expect a lot of these extra member au’s for boy groups and girl groups

❦

you’re his smol baby child and nothing will change his mind

chan just wants you to be happy and he’s really good at showing that, whether he makes sure you’re always healthy or just doing daily check ups on you

if you don’t end up taking care of yourself he’ll get really upset and probably give you a long lecture

one time you actually cried because of his scolding because you felt really bad and he started crying too

if he feels like there’s something up with you and you don’t open up, he usually plans with the other members to do little things to cheer you up

and those plans work all the time

he knows how much you struggle with the idol life because of his own past struggles so he empathizes with you very well

if you’re an english speaking foreigner, he’d be very chaotic with you and felix

but then it eventually just turns into chan being done with you and felix’s bullshit

nags you sometimes but he just wants you to be careful- so for the most part he just lets you be

when your time of the month comes he’s usually the best at handling the situation (jisung i’m looking at you)

he also let’s you mess around with his tracks, but he makes sure you don’t do anything stupid. as you once almost deleted a whole new track

hugs you from behind a lot to remind you that you’re loved and a precious cinnamon roll

he’s a soft leader for you and it’s just downright wholesome

ngl you had a crush on minho during trainee days, i mean- just look at him for crying out loud

that silly crush soon disappeared and now you see him as a best friend

though hyunjin knew about this past crush and obviously tattled to minho. now you’re his main target for flirting

speaking of flirting, he always tries to make you as flustered as he can cause he just loves your reactions

he also initiates a lot of skinship with you cause you’re like a small teddy bear to him, also he just likes cuddling with you in general

if you’re part of the danceracha, you and him would start a lot of weird shit with hyunjin and felix

hell even if you aren’t part of that sub-unit you still find a way to cause chaos with minho

also you ask about his cats all the time cause you love them a lot, and that just boosts his cocky attitude even more

he gets very possessive of you when it comes to your guy’s friendship

cause he’s the type to say “no one outside of stray kids is allowed to talk or even look at you”

ofc he’s joking though lmao

you two are like an old married couple. a lot of bickering goes on between the two of you and that just becomes the butt of stray kids inside jokes

and both of you are very petty with each other too. like- you know when your little sibling hits you so you hit them back? yeah that’s the two of you

overall both of you have a really strong friendship, and other people get jealous of it pretty easily, even stray kids themselves

you took felix’s spot as changbin’s favorite member overtime

he’s your number one hype boi, he always gets pumped up whenever you do something like singing or rapping cause he’s amazed by your talent

probably let’s you toy with side soundtracks so he can see your production skills

overtime you have gotten better because of him, and you’re very grateful for that

he does a lot of aegyo with you cause he just loves you so much, and he also hugs you a lot too

you tease him about this height but he reminds you that you’re shorter and this leads to bickering

also since he’s not the shortest he probably rests his elbow on your head to tick you off or to get a reaction out of you

most of the time he gets a fist to the stomach but it’s still worth it

he also makes sure you aren’t overworking yourself, even if he’s one of the more busy members

if you’re feeling down the drain he buys you some of your favorite food and snacks to cheer you up, and it works for the most part

because of the attention he gives you, felix sometimes starts petty fights with you and the other members get easily amused by this. especially changbin himself

you also just find a lot of comfort within him cause he’s really gentle with you

and because he smells good all the time too lol

changbin is an equivalent to an emotional support dog. loving and very energetic

the two of you are l o u d asf

hence why you and hyunjin aren’t allowed to share a room together anymore. you had a laptop in your shared room and you guys would watch horror movies that would scare the living shit out of y’all

hyunjin likes to take you on shopping dates so both of you can either eat something together or go on a shopping spree

and mini fashion shows start too lmao, he probably gives you like a million clothes to put on

if you’re one of the main dancers, he’s the reason why you are able to dance as well as you can today. cause you felt close to giving up but then he came in and encouraged you to keep going

during his trainee days, his fights with jisung would scare you. one day it got so bad you started crying cause you didn’t want them to hurt each other

they then realized what they did and hyunjin was the first to apologize, even buying you your favorite drink to make up for it

he tries to steal your attention from minho and that almost results in his deathbed

no one’s stopping this boy from doing anything to get your love and attention tho

whenever you guys aren’t together you text a lot, and you guys send each other cute memes in the process

you guys are just like north and south you can’t stand to be away from each other

he also loves to cuddle with you. whenever you get a nightmare you usually turn to him to sleep with so you can feel the comfort of his loving arms

the other members know about this and they get jealous of that sometimes

hyunjin sees you as the little sister he never knew he needed, and he just wants you to have the best possible life he can offer you

let’s be real here, jisung probably didn’t know how to talk to you during trainee days cause he thought you were really pretty

he’s never basked in the beauty of someone so elegant before

the only time you guys really started talking to each other was in the skz survival show, and in that span of time you two grew extremely close (and if you ended up getting eliminated he’d get really sad)

he’s scared to let you into his production studio cause he’s scared that your clumsy ass would do something, but you never really do anything

if you speak english you two probably have weird conversations in english. quoting vines and inside jokes

on break days he takes you out to get boba and just chat, and usually in the morning when it’s less busy and more peaceful

he lets you take his hoodies cause he thinks you look adorable in them, and also when you give them back to him they smell like daisies

if you get hurt in any way, shape or form he gets very upset cause he really doesn’t like seeing you in pain

one time he caught you crying to yourself because of hate comments directed towards you and his heart shattered

he actually ended up tearing up himself and offered to buy you something to make you feel better

if you’re one of the main vocalists you and him probably have high note competitions, since the two of you probably had iconic high note parts

you also pinch his cheeks a lot cause you like how he just looks like a cute squirrel

which results in him pinching you back

jisung would cherish you like treasure since you’re so valuable to him, and you’re one of the reasons he’s able to keep going in his harsh idol life

a few simple words to sum up your friendship; a cacophony of chaos and screaming

you and felix just have the weirdest but at the same time also one of the strongest friendships in stray kids

if you’re a foreigner the friendship is even stronger, cause you two can relate more easily, and ESPECIALLY if you’re an english speaking one

also if you’re australian like him, the chaos is just even worse. a bunch of australian slangs here and there as well as saying inside jokes

he definitely texts you at 3am to talk about something he thought of or just to send you stupid memes

also probably infected you with his dabbing and fortnite phase

you also probably tease him about his sexy moments on stage, like when he lifted up his shirt. which also made you want to see his abs again

to get back at you he lifted your shirt on stage in front of STAYs to show your own abs and everyone went crazy, and he ended up getting his ass kicked

you two are also like emotional support for each other

since you guys are some of the youngest and had some of the hardest times you know when somethings up, so you two just go and hug/cuddle with each other to let the other one know it’s okay

and you’ve also come up with a way to communicate with each other without the other members knowing to talk about personal things, like a secret language

and if you didn’t have supportive parents in the idol life, felix would automatically connect with you cause he went through something similar

this guy just also wants you to feel safe and loved cause he knows what it’s like to feel so alone

overall you and felix are like two peas in a pod, very alike in many ways but will turn to each other for emotional support or just to feel better

dandy boy seungmin is such a little shit around you

he always teases you and always finds a way to tick you off to see your reactions, such as playing with your hair or stealing your clothes

so you being the petty little bitch you are, you do some things that will trigger his pet peeves, like make a room dirty or not doing chores

and that’s how you developed your evil maknae side, all because of this devil puppy

but even then the bickering isn’t always that bad, that’s just how you two show your love for each other since you guys literally don’t know how to be nice to each other

unless it’s about food or games, then there’s civil acts going on

seungmin actually likes to hug you because you’re like a smol baby chick, but it never really goes further than that

INSULT BATTLES ALL THE DAMN TIME

and it’s usually seungmin who wins them, but when you do win them it’s always a very witty victory

seungmin also knows when something’s up with you. if you suddenly stop acting like a savage around him he knows something is up

so he then investigates, comforts you and caves in to take you out to the mall to make you feel better

he doesn’t think he’s helping that much when those times come to you but he actually helps a lot, cause he gives of this comforting aura that makes you feel safe

also he smells like roses too lmao

seungmin is your pretty and bitchy best friend, but at the end of the day he will always be there for you

the two of you are the; done with everyone’s shit duo, at least when the two of you aren’t causing chaos

you and jeongin are very close in age, so naturally all of the members baby you and while the attention is endearing, it can get out of hand sometimes

so the two of you team up to pull the ultimate pranks on all of the members to get back at them and record all of their reactions

of course this results in scoldings and getting chased by an angry hyunjin holding a broom but it’s still worth it

both of you also compete for who can get more attention if you aren’t getting tired of it

and this can also lead to petty bickering that the other members watch in amusement (and they probably fucking grabbed popcorn too)

jeongin has a good sense of judgement, so he knows when the mood is feeling down

and he usually drags you to the side to plan a way to cheer up the members or bring up a lighthearted mood, since he knows the two of you would make a good plan

he doesn’t really like skinship but he finds it cute when you hug him or hold his arm

and the other members get pressed about this cause you’re allowed to hold his arm but they can’t even touch him with their fingernails

both of you have definitely tried to cook together

and fail miserably, which resulted in MORE scoldings and a temporary banishment from the kitchen, but the way you guys cooked was very funny

you made him a smoothie to make up for the fact that you got him banned from the kitchen cause it was mainly your fault

jeongin would be a more chill and laid-back friend, but he’s still very caring for you and will protect you at all costs

For the Plan Z Met Gala looks, how did you go about designing them?

Also, what do all of them think about the Met Gala and would they actually attend if invited?

I wanted to research and explore distinctly American iconography, art, and fashion movements I didn't see explored like the Gibson Girl, Barbie, etc. I'm so peeved no one did a zoot suit because they're so distinct and iconic, and they have a political edge (being popular in black, latino, and Jewish communities and were seen as anti-war because of how much fabric they required in a time where Americans were supposed to be rationing-- and were therefore banned.) but they're still a luxurious clothing item so it wouldn't look as distasteful as straight-up ripping off working-class aesthetics. Anyway, zoot suit tirade aside...

Asami would give anything to be invited to any occasion where she gets to dress up for a themed event and have everyone take pictures of her. She'd also pester every single famous person she recognizes until she's escorted from the premesis.

Daisy would like the part where she looks decadent and gets served free alcohol but two hours in she'd be annoyed and tired. She'd go to the afterparty and stuff hors d'oeuvres in her purse and dip.

Val is not social and gets easily overstimulaed, so she wouldn't go if it weren't for Asami begging her to coordinate outfits. She'd take pictures and leave before the afterparty.

Z would NOT be happy about being a part of an event for rich people and is not enthused about dressing up. Part of it is because they hate the theatrics, partly because they'd feel insecure and out of place. Not to mention they'd be so mad I put them in that outfit. "What the fuck is this? I look like such a douche, oh look at me I wear my tophat at a jaunty angle. What am I, a tap dancer? Aging starlet Chacha Dupree, making her final debut as Mama Rosie in Mama Buckle My Shoe? Fuck this, I'm not going."

Wyvern would pretend he's above rubbing elbows with the bougoisie-- until he's invited and he gets the chance to live deliciously for one night. He loves tacky decadence and would be absolutely giddy about designing his outfit. He can also sew so he'd probably make it all himself.

Calvin would be shy about being overdressed until he arrives and starts feeling his oats, then he'd be all about being the center of attention. He'd spend the next day frantically refreshing social media to see if people are talking about how good he looked. If anyone says anything negative it ruins his week.

Ghost doesn't like having his picture taken and is too insecure about dressing up to take it seriously, but I think putting on a well-tailored suit would unlock something within him.
