@ghoul-butch @thisismenoww @babyboodle @mellueminate @tranzjen @mothgirlyuri @limedotsoda
4. i used to get free public transportation thru my old job, but when covid first hit and i didn't have access to a car i made myself an ebike šŸš“šŸ¾ā€ā™€ļø it felt p cool whizzing around town at 30 something mph on my lil grocery run
5. i have happened to come across many witches and mediums in life so far and i feel like we always find each other at the right time (āĀ“ā—”`ā) the world is so interesting and mysterious! (do not ask me about this, this is my extremely long rant topic depending on who's asking lmaoo. related to something of a lifelong passion/fascination of mine)
6. i mention it in passing but i grew up with hauntings being a very regular thing across different houses and have experienced plenty in adulthood, but not as much as me n my fam all under the same roof. ghost stuff is complicated to rant about but this is basically tied to #5
ā•°(ļæ£Ļ‰ļæ£ļ½) this childhood is sort of the basis of my framework of understanding (as opposed to a Religion)
7. i used to pierce ppl when i was 18. i was good at it and had a lot of happy clients, but i was not certified. i also didn't like this shop i was wanting to apprentice for for trying to make me do a tattoo apprenticeship too (this was also actually what killed art for me and made me stop drawing entirely for 10 years).
šŸš¶šŸ¾ā€ā™€ļøwhat i ended up doing is since the shops take 50% what u get paid anyways why don't i just charge half the price. i was snatching up so many of the younger customers in my age group bc of word of mouth, affordability, and my professionalism šŸ™‚ā€ā†•ļø i took it very seriously and even a decade later it makes me happy to think there are ppl out there still happy with what i was able to do for them, the same way i feel so great w how i look thanks to the piercer I've been coming back to myself.
8. i grew up in a small city/big town by the beach (āĀ“ā—”`ā) i remember it fondly
9. i was caught up in a love triangle w twins once and it was as messy as you probably would imagine lmaoo
10. learned how to drive a forklift before i learned how to drive a car and was so good at it i had ppl w decades of experience watch me try to fit something on a rack and they'd be like ā€œthere's no way you're gonna make that fitā€ well guess fucking WHAT buddy!!! šŸ’…šŸ¾ every time, i loved having a lil audience
11. i lived next to this old lady who grew and sold hella weed and i also got one of my favorite pets from her. she gave me a little albino rat šŸ„ŗ the weed was funny bc we were a few blocks away from the police station actually pre-legalization šŸ˜¹ she was cool as hell. she'd splice peyote w some other kind of cactus and in doing so u could harvest it in just 2 years i think? and it's supposed to take much longer otherwise, i never got to try it but that sounds cool
12. on that note I've tried salvia before which was rly funny and stupid but also so wild ajdjska. if u feel like u will still be fully present and aware no you will not lmfao i got yoinked into another reality in the middle of some prison break plot lmao šŸ˜­
13. i used to throw knives when i was younger and i got back into throwing knives again recently, and also am giving the spikes a try this time (ā Ā ā źˆā į“—ā źˆā ) very fun
14. i do 3D modeling and electrical engineering as a hobby sometimes but i ONLY am ever compelled to do it when it's for taking care of plants. my dream would be to have a huge lab complex with different zones for different climates for growing different kinds of plants separated by their general purpose (ie spices, medicinal herbs, fruits n veggies etc). but a bunch of others too just bc they're neat. i rly wanna play around w hydroponics and think being able to fully automate plant care and learning how to care for all of them sounds rly nice (āĀ“ā—”`ā) i could settle for a greenhouse too ā™”ā  apartment indoor gardening it is though huh (ā Ā“ā Ā ā .ā Ā ā .Ģ«ā Ā ā .ā Ā ā `ā )
15. i have never had a straight era. when i was little i knew of LGB and straight ppl but didn't ever see myself as belonging to one or thought about it. i watched the music video for Im Not Okay and Frank kissing Gerard immediately made me realize and instantly accept that i was bisexual. being bisexual has always been pretty matter of fact to me and as a kid i didn't hide it but didn't rly feel the need to talk about it either unless u asked lol. but like. i was never questioning, i wasn't even ever straight and i think that's really funny. i didn't get to intentionally explore myself as a queer person until my early 20s but i have always been surrounded by queer ppl and that's rly nice šŸ‘¼šŸ¾
if you get this, answer with three random facts about yourself and send it to the last seven blogs in your notifs! anon or not, doesnā€™t matter, letā€™s get to know the person behind the blog <3 (absolutely no pressure)

contextualizing lwjā€™s coming to terms with his feelings subplot!
i wanna talk about the role of confucianism in this subplot because i think itā€™s something some western fans might not pick up on. basically, the sociopolitical climate of confucianism in his character arc, and a little bit about his interaction with the public image theme.
disclaimer: iā€™m not chinese but i do have a double minor in chinese and asian studies and have written a few papers on confucianism.
weā€™re gonna be talking about the novel bc i feel its a little more in-depth and nuanced than lwjā€™s ā€œwhat is black, what is whiteā€ monologue in cql. namely the tension and misunderstanding in wwxā€™s first life and how lwj got his scars. i feel like itā€™s pretty well accepted that wwx made lwj reconsider his world view, so iā€™m just gonna expand on it. also i want to point out it's pretty unspoken in most of the text, but lwj is also affected by/used to explore the public image themes, as his image the is ideal confucian scholar.
confucianism is centered around the ideas of how to behave ā€œgoodā€ in sociopolitical contexts. basically it boils down to a belief system on how society should be run. if everyone follows confucian beliefs, you will have an ideal society. the main text is the Analects, which you can read here. itā€™s been around for a few thousand years (like around 200 BCE ish), had a huge revival in the tang dynasty (618-907 CE). it was put on imperial exams, the emperorā€™s cabinet had confucian scholars, etc. this is just to say confucian values are important to historic society, especially upper-class scholars, which seems to be a role cultivators commonly fill in xianxia. here are some basic tenants:
being a gentleman/scholar/superior man (君子 jÅ«n zĒ) :Ā partly being learned in the arts, literature, music, poetry, etc., mostly behaving righteously and dutifully.
filial piety: usually described as obedience. it's not simply obeying everything elders tell you, it includes doing it with reverence and thankfulness for their sacrifices for you.
leading by example:Ā if leaders/the government is righteous, the people will follow. lwj has his flock of juniors that are all strong cultivators and the lan sect is just generally known for being moral and good.
rites/rituals: a focus on politeness and holding proper ceremonies, sacrifices, and funerals
speech: thereā€™s some great meta about the register he speaks in here, i just want to touch on think carefully before you speak, only speak sincerely, etc.
tldr; lwj is THE perfect gentleman (even his title contains the character suffix 君 -jÅ«n, like lxc. which, while this character is not uncommon for cultivator titles, it wasnā€™t chosen carelessly either. also not to be confused with 尊 -zÅ«n). seriously, look at almost all of book 10 and you'll see don't do/consume in excess, don't talk during meals, sit only when your mat is straight, etc.
okay, so Why is understanding his feelings for wwx so troublesome?
1.2 "They are few who, being filial and fraternal, are fond of offending against their superiors. There have been none, who, not liking to offend against their superiors, have been fond of stirring up confusion... Filial piety and fraternal submission! - are they not the root of all benevolent actions?"
in other words, people who are filial will never create political tension. so like, morally, wwx should be considered horrible person! heā€™s not only snubbed the jiang sect. he was a head disciple who undoubtedly had younger students looking up to him. and then he goes and stirs up some huge political issues! he is now a bad role model for the people below him and disrespected the people above him. lwj has an entire image to uphold, he has poured his entire life into following these rules and beliefs, and then wwx comes along. would continuing to be in wwx's life taint lwj? there are some contradicting teachings in regards to interacting with wwx:
15.4: "Do not take counsel with those who follow a different Way"
15.28: "When the multitude hates a person, you must examine them and judge for yourself. The same holds true for someone whom the multitude love."
15.36 "When it comes to being Good, defer to no one, not even your teacher."
this is part of the reason lwj had so much trouble accepting his feelings. he didnā€™t know how to handle this situation, making him appear distant during/directly after sunshot. if he judges wwx's intentions to be pure, it's then not wrong to be friendly with him. but wwx still is morally wrong by society's standards. now, lwj has to not only figure out his feelings, but also reconcile this with how he still thinks wwx is Not a bad person, despite everything. what if he does get "tainted" by wwx? will it hurt the reputation of his sect? that would be un-filial, right? he spent his whole life memorizing rules that are probably extremely similar to sections in the Analects, and now these mixed messages (coupled with the relatable gay panic) are overwhelming.
onto the next! thereā€™s something unspoken in the scene where wwx discovers why lwj has the whip scars. as other posts have mentioned, lwj taking wwx back to the burial mounds and nursing him is high treason. however, this action is also extremely un-filial. also his entire image is built around being a perfect gentleman, if this were to get out to the public he would lose absolutely everything. he would be just as irreparable as wwx.
ā€œI was worried if those from another sect found you first, WangJi would be considered your accomplice. The best scenario was his name being forever tainted, and the worst was his life being taken away right then. Thus, along with Uncle, we chose thirty three seniors who had always thought highly of WangJi... ā€
thereā€™s no way lwj didnā€™t know what would happen if he did this. obviously as lxc says, if this got out, he would lose basically his entire face. and even though lxc didnā€™t mention this, it would definitely lose a lot of face for the lan sect as well since lwj is so prominent. the decision about what elders to bring is also notable.
ā€œ...As if he knew all along he would be discovered by us, he said that there was nothing to explain, that this was it. Growing up, he had never talked back to Uncle, not even once. But for you, not only did WangJi talk back to him, he even met with his sword the cultivators from the Gusu Lan sect...ā€
so yeah, he obviously knew they would come for him and what the consequences would be. and he still talked back! thatā€™s already not a good look for the lan sect. but attacking them? totally unforgivable! lwj gives up how he was raised and the importance of filial piety, what he has held on to until this major plot event. since it's basically the biggest "fuck you" to his uncle and his clan, this was not a decision he made lightly. lwj shows them he cares more about wwx and His Own ideas of right and wrong than the sectā€™s or societyā€™s.
Wei WuXian dug his hands into his hair, ā€œ...I-I didnā€™t know... I really...ā€
when was the last time wwx was at a loss for words? wwx spends a few paragraphs after this lamenting how he hurt lwj, but he's not unaware of the gravity of what lwj did. it's an underlying assumption from being raised in the culture. i would argue his first instinct is "oh god he gave up what for me?" since those lamenting paragraphs are after lxc finishes speaking.
"But he said... that he could not say with certainty whether what you did was right or wrong..."
this is something thrown around a lot in the Analects, that not even confucius can say for sure what is right or wrong. what better way to show lwj is still a perfect confucian than have him paraphrase confucius himself?
ā€œ...WangJi was a model for the disciples when he was young, and a prominent cultivator when he grew up. In his whole life he had been honest and righteous and immaculate--you were the only mistake he made!ā€
hereā€™s the confirmation that the world and even his family thinks of him as a perfect gentleman, the top tier of society, and it was all thrown away for wwx. this is just so heavy. the mistake thing? thats not only because lwj is fraternizing with an enemy. lxc and the rest of the sect who knew are terrified this will forever corrupt lwj personally, not just publicly. lwj was so devoted to believing this was the right thing to do he offered up everything he had. the gravity of this decision is insane. itā€™s very obvious that he loves wwx, itā€™s just that he struggles a lot internally to accept everything that is happening.
as for helping wwx leave after the massacre, is this gentleman-ly of lwj? was it actually in-line with his image? is it more honorable to save someone who is dying, at the cost of your own health, than to look away? isn't looking away a form of resentment? i wasn't able to find a specific passage about bystander-ness, but personally i think it qualifies as "bad intentions." there is also this passage for what it's worth, originally it was about government suppression:
12.19: "...What do you say to killing the unprincipled for the good of the principled?" Confucius replied, "...why should you use killing at all?..."
lwj is always more actions than words, and he was not fucking around. his core beliefs really haven't changed, and remain very strong throughout his life. he is still righteous enough to accept his punishment, graceful enough to search for wwx's body since there was no one else to do the funeral rites (10.22/10.15), caring enough to take in a-yuan, upright enough to still spend his years going where the chaos is.
just with this one action, the audience knows he has come to terms with realizing that authority isn't always just, and neither is the public opinion/opinion of other gentlemen. he has reconciled. this is him standing for what he believes is right. this is his devotion. this is his own choice. just. poetic cinema...
anyway that's it for my first meta post! i would love to hear your thoughts, feelings, opinions, discussions, other meta ideas, whatever! thank u for reading! <3

(interview)Ā vogue korea april issue 2020 - perfect taemin
Tumblr media
1. superm was another chance for taeminā€™s ever-evolving performance to be showcased. i thought a lot about how to create synergy with these exceptional performers. to put it simply, i wanted us to come off as energetic. but these days iā€™ve had a change of heart. our identity is definitely important. rather than just working hard, for superm to show off their colours well we need to show our personalities; we should be seen as one team. to be able to formulate a solid and clear colour is our homework. thatā€™s why itā€™s regrettable. we couldnā€™t come up with a novel choreography to carry our new identity. we tried a lot in the practice room. superm seems to have found its musical identity but hasnā€™t gotten a hold of its performance character yet. the stages are too vague. 2. now that you are finally promoting with your best friend kai in one group, you two mustā€™ve shared your concerns. since this friend is someone who has a lot of passion and ambition, he talks about various things. for instance, this style is pretty good, this choreography is quite trendy. thanks to him iā€™ve learned a lot. he is also very knowledgeable about the latest ā€˜hottestā€™ genres. we talk about these things often and even watch videos together. kai gives offĀ ā€˜popularā€™ vibes. compared to him, my interests are quite unusual. nowadays kai is interested in music while i am into science. 3. is it science fiction? these days weā€™ve been watching videos on the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics together. 4. what aspect of it interested you? originally i was very curious, after seeing a recommended video on youtube i learned about quantum mechanics for the first time. i couldnā€™t understand the explanation, even those who were explaining it said it was a difficult concept. that was very fascinating to me. kind of like magic.Ā  5. are you reading books on the subject too? the subjects of the books i read are different (laughs). thereā€™s a book that was published long ago calledĀ ā€˜regarding the pain of others.ā€™ it is a pessimistic book that gathers contradictory opinions of people for instance ā€˜people find joy in the pain of others, it is instinctual.ā€™ as a celebrity, there are times when you are criticized but there are also times when you receive comfort from people. rather than blaming others, while reading this book, i began to thinkĀ ā€˜people are like that, at most i shouldnā€™t behave like them.ā€™ my interests are all over the place. 6. what makes you and kai click? we converse well. our opinions almost never clash and we respect each other. moreover, we fully understand our own roles in superm. 7. what position do you hold in superm? since i canā€™t ask if itā€™s the main dancer. in pictures and interviews, iā€™m the center. baekhyun hyung is the leader (laughs). 8. when the conversation wasnā€™t flowing well during the talkshow interview,Ā i saw you neatly concluding it.Ā  that does happen. nct and wayv are still in the learning phase. thatā€™s why i first listen to all of their thoughts during interviews then flesh it out with details later. 9. compared to when you set out abroad as shinee then promoting overseas as superm now, the status of k-pop has changed. looking at how superm was able to start off with an arena tour in the us and europe made me feel that k-pop is aĀ ā€˜hotā€™ topic. in the past, weā€™d use venues of this scale for smtown concerts. even if you promote mainly in asia, seeing the audience section will make you realise the perception of k-pop has changed. 10. though k-popā€™s scope has expanded and diversified, its definition has become simple. what are your concerns? my first concern is language. after i was able to communicate via language during my japanese activities, there were so many advantages. though each country overseas has its own language, i felt that i needed to learn english first. there are many international fans who want to experience the chemistry between our members, theyā€™d feel much closer to us if we communicated using (a common) language. k-pop isnā€™t one dimensional. itā€™s not only about the music, there is music video, style, etc. included. people would make dance covers in the past, now they even emulate the styling. all of this is korean pop culture. 11. superm were on the ellen degeneres show and jimmy kimmel live. before we went on the ellen show we really rehearsed the interview a lot. americaā€™s atmosphere is different so you receive questions that are never asked in korea. they donā€™t disclose the questions in advance either. we were also worried because the emcee could ad-lib. we came up with the most probable questions and practiced, we also received lessons from american comedians. compared to that, we went on jimmy kimmel live without any prep. 12. what went according to plan and what didnā€™t? the questions were not as intense as expected, ellen was well aware about k-pop culture so it went smoothly. 13. is there a dance genre youā€™re into these days? contemporary, lyrical hiphop, in the future as superm i think iā€™ll be able to show more, not the kind of dancing that you do after learning a given choreography but the kind that is full of emotions. itā€™s about giving meaning to your gestures. it isnā€™t out yet but my concert vcr features lyrical hiphop. in it i think iā€™m dancing alone with a giant full moon as my backdrop but get confused when there are two of us, either itā€™s another person or a shadow. a choreographer with a body type similar to mine had to dress in all black to come across as my shadow. i wore an oriental outfit with smokey makeup. 14. how do you usually come up with your ideas? i get inspired by the choreographers and creative directors. i imagine it as we converse then the idea develops. 15. was there a time you were inspired by fashion? of course. art begins with the five senses. what you see with your eyes, the things you can feel, clothes, food, perfume, music that you listen to are all sources of inspiration. i create private accounts to follow fashion brands. 16. having debuted at the age of 16, you are still young but your work experience has been long. i was in certain situations because of this. it doesnā€™t happen as often now but even in my early 20s, i completely belonged to the senior category at broadcasting stations. they are my juniors but many of them are also hyungs, iā€™m their senior but iā€™m also the youngest. now there are even staff members who are younger than me. theyā€™re too formal with me (laughs). 17. are there juniors that ask you for advice or help? the superm members! especially ten, he is very curious. when we come out of a company meeting, heā€™ll get surprised and say ā€œwow, hyung everything you said was right.ā€ i even hear things likeĀ ā€˜veteranā€™ andĀ ā€˜seer.ā€™ apparently my predictions come true. but i try not to advise them as much. taking the initiative to say something feels overwhelming. 18. born in 1993 between millennials and gen z, do you share any characteristics with those in your age bracket? weā€™ve picked out a few of their traits. the first one isĀ ā€˜they donā€™t eat fast food.ā€™ me too! i took care of my health well ever since i started out with shinee. i was brainwashed from home to avoid foods that harmed the body. not even ramyeon, snacks were also banned. and just like that in my 20s i started carrying out the regime on my own. itā€™s become a habit to look after my health ever since i moved out. i always eat things that are good for my body, if the hyungs are taking vitamins, iā€™d ask for one too. 19. i suddenly recall a variety show where you were the only one who skipped the sauce and ate the meat on its own! one should not eat irritable foods. my motherā€™s words. 20. how about ā€˜they watch videos on youtube rather than tv. even the ads donā€™t particularly bother them.ā€™ thatā€™s right. i watch youtube more often than tv, while watching the ads i'd even marvel at their production quality. iā€™ve signed up for the premium package now so i donā€™t see the ads anymore. 21.Ā ā€˜marryingĀ or wanting to buy their own house.ā€™ i currently live alone and i have no interest in decking out my house. at first, i didnā€™t think like that but a month later my interest dissipated. iā€™m lazy. itā€™s not like my house is for others to see, iā€™m fine with the incomplete feeling for now. 22. and finallyĀ ā€˜they avoid investing in financial companies.ā€™ i donā€™t do that. my parents manage that, if thereā€™s a good tip iā€™ll just let them know.Ā  23. hiphop musicians tend to express their success through music. as an idol musician how have you been using the wealth you accumulated all these years? i invest in food instead of saving up (laughs). honestly, i donā€™t spend much. i donā€™t have anything i want. though i do spend on others a lot. 24. what kind of household did you grow up in? what gifts did you inherit from your family as a musician? i inherited my body type. all of my cousins have model-like physiques, theyā€™re taller and slimmer than me. my mother sings well. my father plays instruments as a hobby. oh, and my paternal aunt used to be a ballerina. so perhaps i inherited such genes? 25. youā€™ve been doing the same thing for more than 10 years. what is the purpose behind creating music and showcasing it? in the past, i would think i should do well, i need to be number one, these days iā€™ve become ambitious for other aspects. i take pride in the fact that my work supplies others with positive energy. i feel a sense of accomplishment when fans like my music, i want to make them as happy as i am. everyoneā€™s profession is different but i hope this synergy gained from mutual dependence leaves a good impression. 26. are you still composing songs? i used to but now i only participate in lyric writing. it differs with each song, at times the lyrics are emotional or talk about abstract love. it seems like my next solo album will include a song i wrote the lyrics to. sometimes songs composed by overseas composers might prove too difficult for the general public to understand. so i participate a lot in the arrangement or mixing phase. i point out the parts that should be added to the composition and those that are unneeded. teacher lee soo man does give advice but it often feels like i do the producing of my own solo album. 27. taeminā€™s originality is the clearest when he promotes as a solo artist. which song has best represented your identity? i worked hard on all of them but there was a turning point. at first there wasĀ ā€˜dangerā€™ thenĀ ā€˜press your numberā€™ was a conceptual performance, the transition to ā€˜moveā€™ turned out well. i wanted to break out from the typical choreography routine and create my own identity, the resulting performances wereĀ ā€˜moveā€™ andĀ ā€˜want.ā€™ my next solo album is again different. iā€™ve been making a lot of changes these days. 28. you seem to have high standards when it comes to composing music. was there ever an occasion where you absolutely refused to compromise and gave others a hard time? everyone is used to it (laughs). itā€™s something i learned from the head manager hyung whoā€™s been with me since debut. the belief that ā€˜there is nothing that canā€™t be done. there is no such thing as impossible.ā€™ another team manager hyung would tell me ā€˜you remind me of our headā€™ (laughs). honestly, the staff around me work beyond their given roles and with affection. normally work timings are from 9 to 7, they stay back till 10-11 pm for me. they donā€™t hold it against me, and when things do well, they too feel a sense of fulfillment together with me. 29. the new unreleased song must be quite different from the original then.Ā  there are already 12 versions of the song. when i thought we were somewhat done, we recently started arranging it again (laughs). 30. you hold your body to specific standards for the best performance outcome. i donā€™tĀ ā€˜bulk up.ā€™ previously, i used to work out when i ate a lot but my body would feel weighed down, it wasnā€™t what i wanted. if i gain a lot of muscles or become thick, it hampers my dancing form. thatā€™s why i donā€™t put on weight. i train my stamina and strength and avoid bulking up my shoulders and arms. 31. by the way, do you do neck exercises as well? i was touched looking at your long neck in the vogue photoshoot. i had been noticing this too, now i know the reason! i think itā€™s because i dance. a lot of resistance goes into the neck when you dance. our head is the heaviest and itā€™s the neck that supports it. it goes away when i rest for a few days. weā€™re shooting amidst the superm tour maybe thatā€™s why it looks thicker now.Ā  32. an editor who has been watching you closely for a long time said that youā€™ve become extroverted. could it be that experience and relationships have made you comfortable and secure? iā€™ve lowered my guard. i couldnā€™t reveal my current self to others before. as a child i used to be so introverted that iā€™d hide behind my mother when strangers would get into the elevator. i changed with time.Ā  33. is your ever-present smile a product of your personality or just business decorum? iā€™m always smiling. i even laugh at things other people donā€™t find funny (laughs). 34. shinee members are currently serving in the army. when theyā€™re on break what kind of advice or nagging do they subject you to? i wish they would do that. we have a group chat on kakaotalk and i always revive it by askingĀ ā€œwhatā€™s upā€Ā ā€œhappy new year.ā€ but as soon as the conversation picks up they only talk about the army. when i inform them about an issue at the company they say ā€œreally?ā€ then itā€™s military talk again. when i feel left out and tell them to stop, they reply withĀ ā€œyouā€™ll understand when you get here.ā€ 35. in your career as a musician, when do you feel the best? when itā€™s time to reveal all that iā€™ve been preparing for so long! it feels different from finishing it. the first stage after debuting, shineeā€™s first concert, performing at tokyo dome, receiving the award... these are the moments that come to mind. 36. watching taemin grow for the past decade has been a huge source of strength. what are your dreams now? there are many. first of all, once shinee comes back again, i want the entire group to give off a feeling of revival. usually after getting discharged, itā€™s hard to keep up with the next generation, i want to avoid that. iļæ½ļæ½ve imagined it all when the shinee members return. second, i want to perform a lot on various stages as a solo artist. superm topped the billboard 200 album chart, itā€™d be nice to enter the top 10 on the hot 100 digital chart as well.Ā  37. you are really talented at setting goals. iā€™ve gotten greedier. itā€™s just not for myself but i want to do it for the fans and members, even the staff. they become my driving force. i really am lucky. everybody works hard but i even get the recognition for it. come to think of it, i was given many opportunities and i worked hard to make the most of them, iā€™m really happy my efforts paid off in the end. iā€™m surrounded by good people. shinee, superm, many people fill in the gaps for me that i canā€™t solve on my own. 38. supermā€™s concert title isĀ ā€˜we are the future.ā€™ when you hear the wordĀ ā€˜futureā€™ what are you reminded of? first, itā€™s h.o.t. (laughs). future-oriented things come to mind like artificial intelligence, drones, 3d hologram concerts. then again, in the future, though people might be able to watch concerts through holograms, i think humans will not give up on the tasks they themselves can do. my work will still be the same in the future. 39. the reason you donā€™t write anything on instagram. i donā€™t have anything to say yet (laughs). i donā€™t know if i should make my instagram cool or approachable. when fretting between writing a caption or using an emoticon, i just end up leaving it blank. actually i signed up after my manager hyung suggested that instagram would be good. so iā€™ve made one but i still donā€™t know what to upload. i get teased by the people around me for putting up selfies. i even took lots of pictures especially for instagram but... 40. did you not post the pictures? the point of instagram is real-time communication. is that so! i didnā€™t know (laughs).

So wherever you go always you have got what you wanted!!! And from the birth always wanted to work hard in order to achieve something.. You will not get anything without hardwork! When you reach a man/ woman age you want other younger once to listen to you because you want younger people to respect people older than them. You do set so many examples to others.

If you are a girl you are very good with studies and arts. If you are a guy you spend most of the time after girl friends (almost) at times, you will have sort of too much fun life with mates & girls. Your friends will spend your time & money and get away with their life and you will become empty handed and donā€™t know what to doā€¦ So be careful!! You love to spend anyway!!!
Your good will is you are always there to help family and friends. Tell you what you people are little gem! s, specially the girls.. You always fall in love in younger age as well. You often live with disappointments, for an example you have got a degree in some thingā€¦ but you will be unemployed.. or will do very ordinary jobs.

You have real problems with bad temper! If you are a girl, you are popular with the subjects listed above.
You give up things for your parents. I mean you value your family status a lot, you will be in the top rank when you reach a certain age. If you are a guy you are popular with girls, you are a very talented too. Most of the number 7s face lots of problems with their marriage life.
Only a very few are happy. You have everything in your life, but still always number 7s have some sort of unfullfilness, such worries all their lifetime.
Itā€™s probably the Lord given you all sort of over the standard humans talents and you are about to suffer in family life. So you need to get ready looking for a partner rather than waiting. If you donā€™t, then you might end-up single. So take care with this issue, ok?

The problems will not allow you to study further, but you will learn the life in a very practical way. You are the one who will fight for justice and may die in the war too. You are normally very reserved with handful of friends and most of the time live life lonely and always prepared to help others.
Well. once you get married (which is often late) then your bad lucks will go away a bit and you! u become safe. You will face un-expected problems such asĀ :

You are very naughty in your younger age, often beaten up by your parents and involve in fights and you seemed to have lots of injuries in your life time. But when u grow you become calm and macho type.
Love is not an easy matter for you. You are good in engineering or banking jobs coz people always trust you.
Your family life is very good, but will have worries over your children.

THE POSITIVE & NEGATIVE; Mun & Muse - Meme.
fill out & repost ā™„ This meme definitely favors canons more, but I hope OCā€™s still can make it somehow work with their own lore, and lilā€™ fandom of friends & mutuals. Multi-Muses pick the muse you are the most invested in atm. tagged by: @dansiere whom im care tagging:Ā extremely informative meme for ppl who have lots of cross-over interactions, i encourage u to steal it from me anyway BUT @sternenteileā€‹ @twelviansā€‹ @stellamrisā€‹ @grandtalesā€‹
My muse is: Ā  canon / oc / au / canon-divergent / fandomless / complicated
Is your character popular in the fandom? YES / NO. [ he is a very, very minor NPC that iā€™ve essentially wrested from the game with my grubby hands; Gerson is a merchant NPC found in Waterfall, the third area of the game focused with water themes. he has less than 100 lines of dialogue (but jam-packed full of info) and doesnā€™t even have an overworld sprite. although noted to have a history with multiple major characters, itā€™s not often iā€™ve seen him be the main focus of any fanfics or art pieces. ]
Is your character considered hotā„¢ in the fandom? Ā YES / NO / IDK. [ put that faaaaaaaar away from me please tyty ]
Is your character considered strong in the fandom? Ā YES / NO / IDK. [ i personally believe that Gerson is a strong and potentially powerful monster with fighting capability that could rival some of the stronger Monsters in the Underground due to his background as a fighter during the Human-Monster War, but since has waned in both reputation and fighting skill. we never fight him in game and as such, will never see how he compares numerically, but itā€™s clear from his dialogue that he knows how to fight professionally/cleverly and would have given a hard challenge. ]
Are they underrated? Ā YES / NO / IDK. [ i mentioned before that Gerson has ties with lots of major characters - I hardly see it being put into action or talked about! i also have a soft spot for elder/older characters in general since they seem to be overlooked in favor for younger characters that carry the action of plots - which I understand and totally get, but I still like to put these characters out there for the sake of it ]
Were they relevant for the main story? Ā YES / NO.
Were they relevant for the main character? YES / NO / THEYā€™RE THE PROTAG. [ he was a funny merchant dude that said ā€œwahahaā€ a whole bunch of times and carried a magnifying glass; sure he and Frisk would have been good friends after the golden ending but most people have forgotten about their interaction with Gerson once out of Waterfall ]
Are they widely known in their world? YES / NO. [ as one of the older if not oldest Monsters in the Underground, or from his reputation as the ā€œHammer of Justiceā€ from wartime. he is also a historian and is noted to have written a few of the books in the Librarby. definitely known in the Underground, but probably only in that community ]
Howā€™s their reputation? Ā GOOD / BAD / NEUTRAL. [ as mentioned before, a benefactor to the community and maybe even a sagely figure. a source of wisdom (even if cheeky) and a person of stability ]
How strictly do you follow canon? Ā ā€” ehhhhhhhhhh both extremely canon compliantĀ and then hands off the wheel, let jesus drive me away~Ā i only have so much canon material to work with so i have milked as much as offered to me, then went off to forge my own path in order to patch up the missing holes then add a few sprinkles. the base of the character is all there, but if you really want to get invested with him (or me) then we have a lot to walk through.
SELL YOUR MUSE! Aka try to list everything, which makes your muse interesting in your opinion to make them spicy for your mutuals. Ā ā€”Ā  old tortoise (NOT TURTLE) guy sells knick-knacks and cracks jokes, knows everyoneā€™s dirty secrets but thinks theyā€™re just funny to think about them than use them. an elder in the community who has stories to tell and lessons to teach, who has lived through half of recorded history and now spends his time just trying to make things around him interesting. a war veteran who protects his community and understands the horror of the world, but keeps eyes looking into the future even in the face of grimness itself. plays the accordion and harmonica, could probably square dance if he knew what that was. will call you kiddo.
Now the OPPOSITE, list everything why your muse could not be so interesting (even if you may not agree, what does the fandom perhaps think?). Ā ā€”Ā  little to no motivation to find a passion for himself that would benefit or service just himself; his entire sense of worth comes from servicing others in some way (being a soldier and protecting people; recording history in order to teach future generations; maintaining a shop in order to literally service others) and lack of action due to decrepitude in old age. close-minded compared to other Monsters, as he doesnā€™t actually take to think of humans or outsiders kindly; judgmental to the point of being racist. proud and dislikes being one-upped that it could lead to pettiness, and despite his positive outlooks, very pessimistic worldview.
What inspired you to rp your muse? Ā ā€” Ā funfact: Gerson is my first tumblr RP muse ever, and since i was worried about duplicate anxiety when i first started i specifically wrote him since he was a smaller character with less attention - iā€™ve since learned i have no anxiety about it so itā€™s no longer a problem, but what keeps me going today is the challenge of writing someone so different from me. the elder aesthetic along with homely, almost cottagecore kind of vibe is also appealing, and the humor that comes with gerson is a joy to write out.
What keeps your inspiration going? Ā ā€”Ā  reading literature, music, artwork, pinterest, replaying the game, and doing little hobbies that would embody the character (collecting or sewing, for example) are things i can do by myself, but with other people i have the most drive when i can have friendly and nonpersonal arguments/debates about character motives or about source material like what made a character act like this or that, or about really anything as long as it makes me seriously think about characters critically and force me to recognize flaws.
Some more personal questions for the mun.
Give your mutuals some insight about the way you are in some matters, which could lead them to get more comfortable with you or perhaps not.
Do you think you give your character justice? Ā YES / NO / I SINCERELY HOPE I DO? [ unfortunately iā€™m not a tortoise monster who lived for probably centuries if not decades older than myself, but i enjoy writing older characters and hope that other ppl see the potential gerson has like i do ]
Do you frequently write headcanons? Ā YES / NO / SORT OF? [ you know when you have a concept and in your own mind you can see it clearly, without fuzziness or confusion, but you canā€™t seem to put it clearly into words without it turning into an essay because you need to connect all the other points thatā€™s in the single concept you envisioned? yea. ]
Do you sometimes write drabbles? Ā YES / NO [ bro i should.. ]
Do you think a lot about your Muse during the day? YES / NO [ hmu if you got pinterest and iā€™ll give u tons and tons of boards ]
Are you confident in your portrayal? Ā YES / NO / SORT OF? [ this is unfair to answer as (AFAIK) i am the only person writing Gerson in... any capacity. despite that i like to think i bring out the humorous side of him, and show ppl that he and other NPCs are tons of potentials and shouldnā€™t be overlooked because they arenā€™t popular ]
Are you confident in your writing? Ā YES / NO. [ i always believed my style and my skill in not only PSDs or aesthetics, but analysis or understanding was always a bit plain, without much flourish or complexity. while that is appealing on its own and has its own merits, i canā€™t help but feel i can always push myself to do a little more, add a little flavor, or paint an image that could only be done in writing. although i am doing enough to get the job done, iā€™m searching for a certain voice of writing that i like and want to integrate into creative writing in order to make it more personalized and more engaging. ]
Are you a sensitive person? Ā YES / NO. / SORTA. [ i despise pussyfooting and will often tell ppl straight up if i have a problem with them or something about them; straightforwardness, honesty, and integrity are some of my core values and that includes being harsh if it comes to it in order to keep order ]
Do you accept criticism well about your portrayal? Ā ā€”Ā  assuming itā€™s rooted in goodwill or from a point of analysis, absolutely! itā€™s one of the direct sources for growth and getting better at any craft, but as Tumblr loves to be.... jumpy, iā€™m always cautious when its not from someone i know.
Do you like questions, which help you explore your character? Ā ā€” Ā YEA BUDDYYYYY
If someone disagrees to a headcanon of yours, do you want to know why? Ā ā€” Ā absolutely, i thrive off friendly discourse as i mentioned.
If someone disagrees with your portrayal, how would you take it? Ā ā€”Ā  if we donā€™t discuss it as above, in lit any other case iā€™d sayĀ ā€œwell there are other blogs to followā€ but since iā€™m like 99% sure iā€™m the only gerson blog that isnā€™t applicable lmao; the point still stands that everyone has the freedom to write a character as they wish. there are valid reasons to dislike a portayal but not a lot of valid reasons to attack someone for itĀ - with the exception of ppl being gross. stop that, nasty.
If someone really hates your character, how do you take it? Ā ā€”Ā  strangely. itā€™s not my job to make people like a character, you either like them or not. if you dislike them for unreasonable points then, to leave in the previous response, ā€œclowns will be clowns, no matter what you do. I just donā€™t get why you would follow someone if you hate their character to begin with.ā€
Are you okay with people pointing out your grammatical errors? Ā ā€” Ā of course, as long as itā€™s polite and all that jazz!
Do you think you are easy going as a mun? Ā  ā€”Ā  depends on the meaning - i like making new friends and i find it easy to talk to new people, be it about roleplay or other things like organizing video game play sessions. however, i also have on multiple occasions have approached ppl privately saying ā€œthis is annoying/this is problematic/this is inappropriate, stopā€ and been met with general disdain for voicing such so Who Knows..... (tm). at least on a private level. here, publicly, iā€™m pretty relaxed! memes and jokes are abound. as long as a person can be mature and responsible for their actions we can vibe, yo.

ocs masterpost
for ease of access! in-depth descriptions of all my favorite ocs, all in one post. you can find even more of my ocs (brief descriptions + reference images) over on my art fight page! (you have to be logged in to view!)
[[MORE]]
DnD Characters:
note: for some of these, i have to omit large portions of info as i am either actively playing them, or saving them for a future campaign, and i dont want anyone im playing with to see and accidentally spoil themselves
Fennryn Autumntideā€”
They were separated from their parents as a baby, and instead raised by an older dwarven woman named Rhiannon Autumntide (AKA Anna). They lived in the forest on the mountain together. She taught them how to fend for themself, and a basic respect for nature and other living things. Their relationship was very teacher/student, but as the years went by they saw each other as family. Fenn solidified this by taking Annaā€™s last name when they were of age. Eventually, Anna passed away, and Fenn was left in the woods alone.
Fearful of dying alone without ever having experienced life off of the mountain, Fenn sets out to find an adventure. And they find one, alongside a younger tiefling man named Finn. Finn is an experienced pirate, but he is vulnerable. Finn and Fenn trust each other explicitly, and after some time, they fall in love.
Fenn is tall, muscular, and an older elf. Theyā€™re around middle aged.
Alistairā€”
Alistair is a mystery. They are a bizarre-looking half-elf, with a wicked grin, and glowing cyan eyes that lack pupils. They are seemingly fairly young, despite their hair beginning to grow white at the roots.
Alistair is extremely curious, and values sating that curiosity above most things. They spend much of their time exploring and researching. They also have a complete lack of respect for personal boundaries, and love to study and inspect whoever they can get their hands on. (Theyā€™re good with a pair of pliers, if youā€™re willing to let them pull a tooth. Theyā€™d be happy to show you their collection.)
Alistair also thrives on positive attention, especially from people who donā€™t give it easily. Perhaps thatā€™s why they insist on hanging off of Frey as much as they do. Frey Matthias Wolfe is a rich bastard. Heā€™s a man of study as well, but heā€™s a real mean bitch. And Alistair loves him.
Alistairā€™s patron... Is a whole other story. One that will remain secret, for now.
Jesseā€”
Jesse was spawned from the thought ā€œI should make a mean nerd for everyone to bully!ā€ And the execution, imo, was flawless. A 24 year old human man. Jesse is a bard, and he hates it. He has been traveling on his own for a while, and finished his bard college education a couple years ago. Heā€™s pretty studious, and heā€™s determined to learn everything related to magic that he can.
Despite being a jackass, and kind of a stick in the mud, he does have some semblance of a sense of humor. He also likes to use his intelligence and skill to feel superior to the people around him as often as possible. He is visibly extremely disturbed by corpses.
Jesse is very vague about his past and his reasons for traveling alone.
Fordā€”
Ford is my newest character! He is a firbolg cowboy. Extremely tall (approaching 8ā€™), with a powerful build. I canā€™t say much about him yet! He is seemingly very friendly and happy to lend a helping hand whenever he can. He has a sister, named Clementine, who owns a small grocery store.
Cressida:
(note: cressida city + the world its a part of belongs to my boyfriend @ghost-gore ! all the characters that mine know belong to him as well. warning for gore on his blog.)
Ellisā€”
Ellis is a demon who works in limbo under a man named Crow. Ellis is technically speaking, pretty old, but he looks just as much the young man he was when he died. He keeps his long hair back in a ponytail, and canā€™t seem to ever wear his suit properly.
Ellisā€™ powers allow him to see and alter peopleā€™s memories. Limbo, as it works out, is a mess of memories. He is always very busy keeping things in order. Heā€™s no stranger to making mistakes, but he has a knack for fixing them to make up for it. When he has a moment to himself, he likes to slip into the dreams of humans. He thinks theyā€™re interesting! (But he keeps accidentally bringing them nightmares...oops. Donā€™t worry, he can fix it!)
Ellis is in love with his boss, and has been for over a century. He has a hard time keeping it subtle, but fortunately(??) Crow is oblivious. But a century is a long time... And things have gotten intimate between them more than once.
He is also good friends with a much older demon, named Cordia. They like to meet up for drinks, and bond over funny cat pictures.
Rosierā€”
Rosier is an old, powerful demon. He was once a high-ranking officer in ā€œHellā€ā€™s military. He was charming, and an excellent strategist. (Having a powerful beast form also helps.)
However, something triggered him severely. In a frenzied panic, he shifted into his beast form and flew off.
As a beast, he has large red eyes, long antennae, sharp claws, and huge black wings. Years passed as he isolated himself, and legends spread of the Mothman. Rosier lost himself more and more, until he lost the ability to speak. He stopped seeing any people as the apocalypse happened all around him.
Later, living in the ruins outside of Cressida, he is found by a young hero named Ghost. Ghost is initially intimidated by Rosier, and treats him as an enemy. They fight a few times, before Ghost realizes that Rosier isnā€™t necessarily a foeā€” heā€™s just defending himself. Ghost then begins to treat Rosier almost as a pet.
After some time rehabilitating Rosier, Ghost brings him back to Orion HQ, where they work for Cordia. Cordia is one of very few demons old enough to recognize Rosier.
Eventually, Rosier is able to read, speak, and transform back into a more human shape. He still retains a few of his moth formā€™s traits, including fully red eyes, fur here and there, and limbs that fade to near-black at the tips.
Cyrus Darcyā€”
Cyrus is a rich bitch whore. He cares about three things ONLY: wine, sex, and himself. Money is power and he has more than enough of it. His parents passed away when he was a teenager, and they left him a fortune.
Cyrus always gets what he wants. If money canā€™t get it for him, he has another trick up his sleeve that can. Cyrus is a celestial, meaning a human born with supernatural powers. Cyrus has the power of suggestion, meaning that he can give anyone a short command that they are compelled to follow.
Cyrus has all the makings of a villain, but in actuality he is very neutral. He just wants to have a good time unbothered. He uses his powers mostly to get randos to leave him alone. (Randos like Arley and Kier, who are sent by Cordia to recruit Cyrus for Orion. It takes a while.)
Evelynā€”
Evelyn (AKA Evie) was born in the Victorian Era, to a rich father. With money and good looks, she was often pursued by men wishing to court and marry her. She was disinterested in all of them. She preferred to spend her time reading and studying. Evelyn loved to learn, but she also loved a good romance or fantasy to sweep her off her feet.
Enter Cordia, who spent her Victorian days posing as a man. They had a passionate love affair, until Cordia made a sudden exit from Evelynā€™s life.
Many years later, Evelyn awakens in the afterlife as an angel. When she and Cordia meet again, it is as equals and business partners.
She is now working as a librarian/an archivist. She also boxes, because she likes to feel strong.
Marcyā€”
Marcy is a thotty rave twink. They love music, they love neons, and they love to flirt. Marcy is very enthusiastic, and they are a little bit in love with basically everyone. They flirt constantly, and are not shy with physical affection. They like to do drugs and make out and theyā€™re happy to do that with pretty much anyone whoā€™s willing.
Marcy is also a celestial. Their powers allow them to control their personal gravity. They can jump really high, and come down hard, among other things! They mostly use it to help themself go fast. They used to be in roller derby! And they still love to skate.
(ps they have thighs for days and an ass that wont quit. thank u)
Other:
Bonnie Briaryā€”
My newest oc! She belongs to a world where monsters are real, but hidden. Monsters arenā€™t super common, and they generally avoid integration with human society. (The setting is also a blend of modern + victorian fantasy. Think Lemony Snicket ambiguity.)
Bonnie is shy, sweet, and curious. She likes to study plants in particular. Her style of choice is cottagecore/fairycore blend. She has a garden that she loves very much.
Faust (belongs to tovomiel on ig), is a trash punk gargoyle monster, who for some reason has decided he likes Bonnie. He teases her relentlessly and loooooves to make her flustered. The catch is, heā€™s too shy to make a move beyond teasing and the occasional kiss. Bonnie, sweet as she is, is dying for him to stop leaving her hanging. Shenanigans ensue.

Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā  Ā playlist. pinterest. to listen as you read.
howdy folks !! so my name is HYLIA ,Ā and Iā€™m here to play the sailor datemate of my dreams , LUKE ANDERSEN. Iā€™m still sort of getting the hang of them since theyā€™re a very new character , so Iā€™m sorry if this intro is all over the place !!Ā No TWS for now save for mentions of death , theĀ ocean ,Ā and drowning. Hopefully this isnā€™t too messy !Ā 
HISTORY
So Luke is adoptedĀ - the child of one of King tritonā€™s servants who passed away from illness. Originally , Triton was going to take them in himself , but instead , ArielĀ volunteered to care for the little merbaby and raised them as her own. As a result , Triton gave Luke the ability to grow legs on dry land as well as a tail when touched by large amounts of saltwater.
But , they werenā€™t told of their true heritage as a child. So they believed they were a human for the longest time.
They grew up loving both of their parents to the maxĀ but it was DEFINITELYĀ evident they took after Eric more so. They wanted to travel , wanted to explore - and their dad ,Ā with his ship and naval prowess , was their hero. So from a very young age , they would accompany their dad on his travels.
It went to the point in which they were taught to pilot a ship themselves - and they even askedĀ for one for their sixteenth birthday. Nothing else , just a vessel of their own. And they got one , naming it The Queen Jocasta.Ā 
First voyage on The Queen JocastaĀ resulted in an attack by pirates - sixteen year-old Luke tossed off the side of the ship , thinking they were about to drown. ButĀ , that power they were unaware of for all this time shifted their legs into a tail , and at that point they realized , Wow , Mom and Dad really havenā€™t told me SHIT.Ā 
So that was when they were explained that yeah , they were originally born a mermaid , and yeah , they wereĀ royalty both on the surface and under the sea. And that prompted Luke to spend a year in the ocean to get to know their motherā€™s family - returning to the surface to finish their time in Auradon Prep afterwards. This meant they graduated a year later at nineteen.Ā 
And then when that was over , Luke decidedĀ ā€˜ hey, Iā€™m gonna take a trip all around Auradon by BOAT ā€™ since... thatā€™s their brand , and spent another year just sailing around the different parts of Auradon ( and on the outside of it )Ā for the fun of it. Theyā€™re only just nowĀ getting back to Auradon to attend Auroria.Ā 
PERSONALITY & FACTS
So one may describe Luke as anĀ ā€˜old soulā€™ - theyā€™re very laid back and relaxed , for the most part , keen on their interests and someone who reallyĀ seems to know a lot beyond how old they are.
Extremely intelligent - thereā€™s a rumor going around that Luke has an eidetic memory , but they wonā€™t confirm or deny it. ( Itā€™s true. )
OBVIOUSLY AGAIN, OCEAN CHILD. Luke lovesĀ the ocean and always hangs out on beaches or the docks if theyā€™re not on their actual boat. Because Luke doesnā€™t have a dorm - no , Luke sleeps on The Queen JocastaĀ in their cabin. Captainā€™s quarters and all that.Ā 
They love traveling just for the sake of traveling , and they can read a map like itā€™s nobodyā€™s business.
Big into the classics like art and music DESPITE the fact they canā€™t paint , draw - but they can carry a tune well and for that reason , they play guitar nicely.Ā 
Honestly theyā€™re smart and into the classics and shit but alsoĀ this can come off as slightly pretentious since they donā€™t hesitate to remind people how good of a thinker they are - they donā€™t say it , but they show it.Ā 
Also they know how to dance , taking ballet classes when they were younger !! Itā€™s just not something they remind anyone of much.
One more class they took was swordfighting in attempts to learn how to defend themselves . . . and yesĀ , theyā€™re great at it. Scary great.
In terms of a more direct description of their PERSONALITY , Luke tends to approach situations with again , a very laid backĀ attitude but also one thatā€™s brutally honest. They will let you know if theyā€™re pissed off with you and . . . doĀ have a bit of a temper when their nerves are ticked. Lukeā€™s alsoĀ got a bit of a dangerous tendency to always think theyā€™re on their own and look after number one ( themselves ) and forgets that they can lean on other people for help. This doesnā€™t mean they donā€™t care about their allies - no , they greatlyĀ care about them. But Lukeā€™s sort of used to being a mysterious , aloof , brooding traveler that they often forget they now have people they can confide in.Ā 
Theyā€™ll do things that perk their interest - Luke really isnā€™t going to go out of their way for something unless thereā€™s either something in it for them orĀ they have a personal interest. Also , if they care for the person , but yeah.
Thereā€™s a slight cynical streak to them for no other reason than the fact they just always think they have to watch their back - and for the fact people have secrets , like their parents keeping the secret they were a mermaid for a good portion of their life.Ā 
I promise theyā€™re not a conceited selfish prick Luke is just VERY . . . aloof. I know I said that before but theyā€™re distant and sort of keep to themselves and what theyĀ want.Ā 
Their opinion on the villains and heroes coming together is that they really . . . couldnā€™t care less. They never were really one to focus too much on the Auradon vs. Isle debacle anywayĀ , but also - they can understand why some VKs are pissed. BUT , since this is LukeĀ weā€™re talking about - that doesnā€™t mean theyā€™re going to be exceptionally nice to the villain kids , treating them the same as Auradonian kids - casuallyĀ , trying to get a read on them , probably the same aloof &Ā ā€˜I could care lessā€™ demeanor they normally keep up.Ā 
Also I should mention !!Ā Luke is genderfluid , preferring they/themĀ pronouns like stated before - but when addressing them with their royal title , they prefer to be addressed by the title of Prince. But CaptainĀ is even more so preferred.Ā 
Captain Luke Andersen just sounds like BDE Iā€™m ,
Listen I love them so much theyā€™re the myserious captain datemate of my dREAAMS
WANTED PLOTS & CONNECTIONS
OKAY SO. When the main puts up their WC page I willĀ be submitting this one but Iā€™d love an ARRANGED MARRIAGE plot for Luke. Basically , arranged while Luke was away traveling - they could either already know this person or are just meeting them nowĀ , but theyā€™re not too keen on the idea of arranged marriage but arenā€™t really doing anything to fight it since it is what it is. They can either get along or hate each other , be best buddies or the like , but I think itā€™d be so funnyĀ if Luke - a wayward soul - was supposed to be arranged to marry someone who always has to make sure theyā€™re not getting into trouble or something since Luke . . . CANNOT stay in the same place. At all. Bonus if this person is super duper sweet and polite in contrast to Lukeā€™s nature of being absolutely crass &Ā unrefined.
Their fiance: Iā€™m so sorry for them Luke: Iā€™m not, peace sign + middle finger motherfuckerĀ 
And if this evolves in2 an actual ship thatā€™d b up to chemistry n shit but the main idea I had was just. An arranged marriage. Rly we can do whatever n Iā€™d b cool w/ it.
Iā€™d love a crew for them pls. Again - this can be with bothĀ Auradon and Isle kids , since Luke gives no shits , but Iā€™d imagine thereā€™s a few Auradon kids whoā€™ve been with Luke for quiteĀ some time.
PIRATE RIVALS PLSSSSS bc I know some Isle kids are pirates and thatā€™s B^) juicy shit 2 me.
In general Iā€™d just rly like some friends who try to get past Lukeā€™s aloof & distant & brooding(tm) nature and let them b... soft n stuff.
also friends in general?? great. gimme soft platonic shit bc mgod thats what gets me all the damn time
if there are some royal kids out there who wanna bfriend lukeā€™s ass since childhood n will stick w/them... give it to me.
Flings that Lukeā€™s had either traveling or also just in Auradon in general bc uh yeah theyā€™re lowkey a huge flirtĀ 
not 2 be THAT guy but Luke is a dreamboatĀ haha... hahaha...
please clap
first love !!Ā maybe !!Ā idk sb who definitely luke had a thing 4 but it got lost in luke being. well. luke.
ā€œmy only love is the seaā€ stfu
gimmE SOME ENEMIESĀ 
AURADON KID ENEMIES
ISLE KID ENEMIES
PPL WHO THINK LUKE IS A FUCKIN PRETENTIOUS DICK BC THEY ARE
PPL WHO ONLY WANNA SEE THEM CRASH N BURN
FRIENDSHIPS THAT TURNED HOSTILE BC AGAIN, LUKE IS... LUKE.
PPL WHO HAVENā€™T LIKE LUKE SINCE CHILDHOOD N THEYā€™VE ALWAYS GOTTEN INTO FIGHTS AND STUFF
Iā€™m so bad writing wcs so maybe one day Iā€™ll sit down and write formalĀ connections so yeah.
BUT YEAH THATā€™S IT !! pls pls pls feel free to either like this or hmu for plotting - I highly suggest contacting me on Discord ( rocky lynch lovebot / hylia.#0329 )Ā bc Iā€™m always on Discord but Tumblr works too !! I promise u guys I donā€™t bite. I love u all Iā€™m so excited 4 this !!! :^)

But if you are a number 6 man, you will experience kind of looks from most girls and will involve in more than few relationships until you get married. If you are girl, most of you will get marry/engaged early. You are a caring person towards your family & friends . If you miss the half-way mark then you are about to suffer physically and mentally. Generally you will lead a very good inner-home happiness with nothing short of. You are a person of compassion, comfort & fairness, domestic responsibility, good judgment, and after all you can heal this world wounds to make peace for every life coz you have the great power of caring talent to make this world of love one step furtherā€¦ Your best match 1, 6, 9.

Most of the number 7s face lots of problems with their marriage life. Only a very few are happy. You have everything in your life, but still always number 7s have some sort of unfullfilness, such worries all their lifetime. Itā€™s probably the Lord given you all sort of over the standard humans talents and you are about to suffer in family life. So you need to get ready looking for a partner rather than waiting. If you donā€™t, then you might end-up single. So take care with this issue, ok? You are wonderful, friendly, artistic, happy person.. You are born to contribute lots to this world!!! Your best match is 2. Good matches are 1,4Ā !!! Number 8 You are a very strong personality, thereā€™s no one out there will understand you. You are very good at pointing your finger at some thing and say ā€œthis is whatā€.You are more likely to suffer from the early ages. I mean poverty. If your times are not good you might lose either of your parent and end up looking after your entire family. You often suffer all the way in life. The problems will not allow you to study further, but you will learn the life in a very practical way. You are the one who will fight for justice and may die in the war too. You are normally very reserved with handful of friends and most of the time live life lonely and always prepared to help others. Well. once you get married (which is often late) then your bad lucks will go away a bit and you! u become safe. You will face un-expected problems such asĀ :the error, government, poisonous animals, accidents. You are some one with great discipline, persistence, courage, strength which will take you to success. You are a great part of a family team. You are a fighter! Your Best match 1 ,4, 8.

You will work hard and hard to get there. Normally you suffer in the early age from family problems and generally you will have fighting life.. But when you achieve what you have done, itā€™s always a big task you have done! You are so much respected in the community, you are a person who can make a challenge and successfully finish the matter off. You are very naughty in your younger age, often beaten up by your parents and involve in fights and you seemed to have lots of injuries in your life time. But when u grow you become calm and macho type. Love is not an easy matter for you. You are good in engineering or banking jobs coz people always trust you. Your family life is very good, but will have worries over your children. Your such qualities are humanitarian, patient, very wise & compassionate. You are born to achieve targets and serve every one all equally without any prejudice. You are totally a role model to anybody in the world for a great inspiration. Your Best match 3, 5, 6, 9. Good match 2

yeah, i know. nowadays weā€™re spoiled with tinder n shit, but back in 2009, all we had was myspace and msn and i met this fucker on skype.
i was so ahead of my time.
anyway, it was october 25, 2009.

A-Z headcanons for Marty :D
I FINALLY got all these done! ā™„ Thank you so much, I feel so much love for my boy ;u; ā™„
Tumblr media
Alignment :: What would be their D&D alignment? How might it come into play?
Neutral good, with occasional chaotic good leanings. He has his principles, but heā€™s not a fan of conflict, and heā€™ll likely duck out of a situation when things get to heated for his liking. But if he can be a little mischievous behind the scenes, or just discreetly, to get a better outcome, heā€™s damn well gonnaā€™ do it.
Beverage :: What do they most like to drink, and why?
He loves coffee. I said before that he was a very happy boy when the Slocumā€™s update came out in Creation Club xā€™D I imagine he doesnā€™t sleep a whole lot, so he loves the caffeine buzz. Quantumā€™s usually too much of a boost for him, but he will indulge occasionally.
Co-Habitate :: Do they live with anyone? Whatā€™s ā€œneed to knowā€ before moving in?
Iā€™m still toying with the idea of him traveling with an unnamed (as of right now) ghoul character in his younger years. Or maybe a human friend who gradually turned into one :o Maybe this person even helped him settle into the old Natick Power Station. Iā€™m actually very much leaning towards this but Iā€™ll have to work out some details.
When Marty was 15 or 16, he found a 7 or 8 year old Kimmy rummaging around in some of his scavenged/salvaged materials and the garbage trying to find some food. This ghoul character may still be around at this time; still deciding xD He takes Kimmy in and takes care of her for a while; but nobody comes forth for her during their travels , and after a while she just sort of becomes family.
In more recent years, theyā€™ll let the occasional wanderer crash there for a few caps, unless they set off red flags. No one else has reallyĀ ā€˜livedā€™ there, though.
Lots more below!
Decor :: What kind of home do they keep? Are there any defining details?
His workshop areas areĀ a goddamn fright, but he knows where he keeps all of his stuff :) Crates full of parts, if not outright piles of metal stuff outside. And some of his stranger, more decorative creations litter the house. Thankfully he doesnā€™t let the living area get too messy, though.
Escape :: What do they do to destress? How successful is it?
Heā€™ll usually go hide in his workshop and try to be creative. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it just frustrates him more. At that point he knows itā€™s usually time for a nap xD
Fluff :: What hits their soft spot? Does anything them into emotional goo?
Heā€™s a total sap for family type stuff, and seeing other people happy in general. It can be hard to stay optimistic in the wasteland, and he revels in those small moments. He loves it when he makes kids laugh, too. He has this crap idea that kids donā€™t like him and itā€™s absolute BS.
Grudge :: How bad does an insult go over? Do they hold a grudge long?
Answered over here ā™„
Hobby :: Whatā€™s something they do for fun that might be surprising?
The stuff he canā€™t use for his weapon or mechanical builds usually finds purpose as art projects, not unlike some of the stuff found in this mod. I like to think he makes a cozy profit from all of his creations.
Insomnia :: Whatā€™s their sleeping schedule like? Snorer? Sound sleeper?
Boy doesnā€™t sleep a whole lot, but he usually sleeps pretty soundly when he does. Schedule? Bah. He just goes until he canā€™t anymore, or until he feels tired enough to sleep. And he definitely snores xD
Jaded :: Do they buy into the ā€œhappily ever afterā€ ideal? Whatā€™s their standard?
Itā€™s a fun idea, but he knows better than to subscribe to such a mentality in the wasteland. He takes each day as it comes and just tries to live a fairly happy life.
Kin :: Whatā€™s their role among their relations? Do they consider others family?
He assumed a very protective big brother/goofy uncle role when Kimmy came into the picture ā™„ He very much considers her family, but he never really says it because heā€™s not sure if she feels the same way. Itā€™d kindaā€™ break his heart if she didnā€™t, so he just shows it through his actions.
Law :: What do they think about abiding rules? Are they selective about it?
Itā€™s the wasteland, but heā€™s still got his moral code. Heā€™s also not opposed to pushing those lines if the situation calls for it. As long as itā€™s not hurting anyone whoā€™s not deserving.
Magic :: In a magic series or not, are they accepting, or is each instance a shock?
I read this and think of weapons like the Cryolator or or the Flamer or something of the such, and all I can imagine is him, as a self-taught (and still learning) engineer, going all starry-eyed and wanting to know HOW?! I WANNAā€™ MAKE WEAPONS LIKE THAT.
Network :: Are they connected to the people? How much do they reach out to others?
Heā€™s pretty isolated and he likes it that way. He enjoys the occasional excursions to go sell his wares and stock up, but itā€™s plenty of social interaction for him.
Offspring :: What kind of parent would they be? Would they prefer one, or multiple?
He did a solid job of raising Kimmy, but he wouldnā€™t really want a kid of his own. He wouldnā€™t, however, be opposed to taking in another commonwealth orphan if the need arose.
Pistol :: Is this character skilled with a weapon? Whatā€™s their opinion of violence?
He enjoys energy weapons, and he enjoys the hell out of customizing pipe weapons and coming up with cool new mods and improvements for them. He prefers not to resort to violence if he doesnā€™t have to, but he knows itā€™s a necessary evil sometimes.
Question :: How often do they feel doubt? What topics are they defensive about?
Answered over here ā™„
Reminder :: How are they at remembering daily needs? What falls through the cracks?
Heā€™s worst about making sure to eat, but Kimmy will often take a portion to him out in the workshop when heā€™s particularly absorbed in a project. Heā€™s actually good about his hygiene, though. Those long stints in the workshop make him feel pretty gross, and heā€™s very likely to prioritize a nice hot bath over basic nutrition.
Sing :: Do they like music? Do they listen often/sing/hum/play songs in their head?
He does ā™„ He loves Diamond City Radio, but when he tires of the same old tracks, heā€™s found a handful of holotapes with music on them in his excursions. And probably a few more from Unnamed Ghoul OC. He loves The Coasters.
Touch :: How do they handle contact? Is their personal bubble big?
Answered over here ā™„
Upcoming :: How much do they think of the future? Do they make long-term plans?
Answered over here ā™„
Vice :: What bad habits do they have? Is there something they would be ashamed of?
Aside from not eating like he should, I imagine heā€™s just a bit fidgety. Like bouncing his (good) knee or drumming his fingers, or stuff like that. Nothing that really would hurt anyone else.
Wardrobe :: Whatā€™s their fashion style? Do they have any staple pieces?
Scavver couture xD Nah, heā€™s not super picky about what he wears, but when he finds pieces he likes and that are comfortable, he wears them to death.
X-Ray :: Howā€™s their health? Any problem areas? Do they take care of themselves?
Aside from not eating like he should, he actually does take pretty good care of himself, all things considered.
The main exception to this rule was when he was in denial about his leg. He wouldnā€™t go see a doctor when he was still able, and what resulted was Kimmyā€™s first real excursion out into the wasteland to go find one to bring back to Natick. Heā€™d have probably died of septic shock from the infection had she not.
Yack :: Whatā€™s their favorite thing to talk about? What do they go on about?
Probably his projects. Or when he sees something cool that he wants to try to make himself, or that atleast inspires him to work on something.
Zodiac :: Whatā€™s their astro sign? Does it fit? What would you pick, if itā€™s unknown?
His personality gives me a really strong Aquarius-Pisces cusp vibe ā™„

Listed: Joshua Stamper
Tumblr media
Photo byĀ Christopher McDonald
After 25 years composing and arranging, Joshua Stamperā€™s versatility remains as notable as ever. The artist moves fluidly from classical to indie-rock to chamber music and more. While collaborating with acts like mewithoutYou and Robyn Hitchcock or scoring films, he manages to release his own work, too. Reviewing Stamperā€™s most recent release, Justin Cober-Lake described PRIMEMOVER as a ā€œsoundtrack for a particular kind of year in the church life, one with puzzles and rest, beauty and complication.ā€ His work, as with PRIMEMOVER or his new Elements project, tends to be multidisciplinary, with Stamper incorporating an array of influences from outside music. With his breadth of input and output, it's no surprise that Stamper would offer us a list that includes music, visual art, philosophy, and poetry.

My brother gave me Thierry De Meyā€™s Kinok for my birthday about twenty years ago. He bought it on the strength of the album cover alone. Itā€™s a record I have returned to dozens of times. ā€œUnknownessā€ is utterly arresting ā€” a deep and loose sway juxtaposed with startling percussive gestures as unpredictable as ricocheting gunshots. It is all swing, mystery, magic, and space. I feel when listening that I am reduced to sub-atomic scale, where mountains of granite become a gossamer mesh that I move through as a stroll in the park, looking at trees that are freeze-frame explosions.
John Cage ā€” ā€œWater Walkā€
youtube
4'33" is a popular punching bag for Cage critics. The piece is derided as an adolescent practical joke from an impertinent child of a composer who gets his kicks deliberately wasting audiencesā€™ time. ā€œIt's not musicā€ is the common refrain, but the complaint behind the complaint is that it is alienating; that the only way in which the piece facilitates communal experience is that everyone feels on the outside of an inside joke.
When I was younger, I shared this impatience with Cage. Then I came across ā€œWater Walk,ā€ a piece premiered in January 1960 on the popular TV game show Iā€™ve Got A Secret. My view of John Cage and his music were both upended, instantly and utterly. Instead of a preening and pretentious provocateur I encountered a playful and guileless individual filled with wonder; one who took unfettered joy in people, invention, and the sheer fact of sound.
In the space of one viewing, 4'33" shifted from an insolent and self-satisfied prank to a concentrated celebration of community and sound ā€” a wide-eyed invitation to pause, together, all of us here sharing this space, LISTEN, all of us here sharing this space, together, pause. My self-righteousness shattered. All becomes music. I haven't heard anything the same way since.
Iā€™ve since spent a great deal of time with his writing, lectures, poems, prints and music, and wonder how I could have ever thought ill of the man's intentions. It may seem obvious, but Cage taught me that an artistā€™s own life is the clearest interpretative lens through which to understand their work.
Prince and the Revolution ā€” ā€œI Wonder Uā€ (from Parade)
youtube
Sgt. Pepper-esque sound design, kaleidoscopic orchestral arrangements, the hushed voices of Prince, Wendy and Lisa riding on a composite groove of such integrity and force that it sounds like it's forged from steel...
I first encountered Princeā€™s Parade the summer between my high-school graduation and my first year of college. ā€œI Wonder Uā€ is less than two minutes long, but I was stopped in my tracks. The song feels like the liminal space between dreaming and waking, at once welcoming and dangerous, where multiple musics converge like Charles Ivesā€™ double marching bands destined for head-on collision. Discreet melodies and rhythms and keys bleed in and out of each other, but also exist as vital layers in a larger whole. It's a hypnotizing 3-D sonic Venn diagram.
My decision to major in composition was set.
Jasper Johns ā€” ā€œRegretsā€, 2013, oil on canvas
Tumblr media
Jasper Johns said, ā€œI think that one wants from a painting a sense of life. The final statement has to be not a deliberate statement but a helpless statement. It has to be what you can't avoid saying.ā€
ā€œa helpless statementā€ ā€“ I find myself breathing deeper and slower with Johnsā€™ words, grateful for the reminder that before anything else, art making must be grounded in vulnerability and weakness. The hope and the challenge in Johnsā€™ words is its call to distillation, to get to the heart of the heart of the heart of a matter, where there is simply nothing else that can be said. The process of distillation even involves the shedding of all those things we sometimes mistake for the work itself: craft, expertise, training, credential. Thereā€™s a threshold that must be crossed, a moment of lift-off where will and deliberation are left behind and the work takes flight on what is inevitable, as involuntary as a cry or a laugh.
Palestrina ā€” ā€œMissa Brevisā€
youtube
ā€œPainting is time, music is space.ā€ So said one of my brotherā€™s undergrad art professors. Of course, youā€™d expect the opposite, as space is the context in which painting exists while time is the fundamental warp and woof of music. But my most profound experiences with music are always characterized by new spaces being revealed or created. By ā€œspace,ā€ I don't mean some state of cerebral or emotional revelry. I mean real, actual space ā€” with dimensions. A space thatā€™s shocking in its physicality. This happens to me constantly.
My first experience of Palestrinaā€™s ā€œMissa Brevisā€ was in a choir rehearsal in my junior year of high-school. It was a catalytic event. A braid of interweaving melodies and counter-melodies emerged, enveloping me and everyone else singing, and the room seemed to expand. I wanted more. The vocational pull to become a musician was like being swept out to sea.
Every time I return to this piece, I experience this expansion. The patient dip and rising of every ā€œKyrie,ā€ ā€œeleisonā€ and ā€œin excelsisā€ creates its own cosmology, its own dimensions and gravity. Our relationship to time is also a relationship to space; their woven-ness is inextricable. The space-time continuum isn't just a physics thing.
Ann Hamilton ā€” The Event of A Thread
Tumblr media
Years ago, I had the opportunity to experience The Event of A Thread by Ann Hamilton at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City. A massive silk that moves like water or vapor, a field of swings, a record stylus, wooden crates of live pigeons, paper scrolls spilling onto the floor, a ceiling peppered with pulleys, bags of words and sacks of sound... It's difficult to describe the piece, in either its scope or particulars, but I became a child.
In Ann Hamilton's discussion of the piece, she says, ā€œIt happened because a space was made for it to happen.ā€ The inverse implication of this statement is that if space isn't made, things wonā€™t happen. In my experience, solitude, reflection, exploration and craft are so easily bullied by the crush of life and of calendars, but Hamiltonā€™s observation presses an urgent case for the care and protection of these kinds of spaces to think and puzzle and make. How much wonder, play, rest, and beauty could exist only for want of a place to exist?
So, with that, ā€œit happened because a space was made for it to happenā€ ā€“ my working manifesto.
Mary Oliver ā€” Upstream (Section One: ā€œOf Power and Timeā€)
Tumblr media
ā€œIt is a silver morning like any other. I am at my desk. Then the phone rings, or someone raps at the door. I am deep in the machinery of my wits. Reluctantly I rise, I answer the phone, or I open the door. And the thought which I had in hand, or almost in hand, is gone.ā€
The untroubled waters of a day whose promises have yet to unfold are not untroubled for very long. But the most persistent interruptions are those that come, as Oliver describes, ā€œnot from another, but from the self itself.ā€ The resonance for me is deep.
In a 2015 On Being interview, Mary Oliver tells a story about when she learned she had received the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry (she didn't even know that her latest, American Primitive, had been submitted for the award): she was at the town dump looking to buy shingles to shingle a roof with. A painter friend of hers came by, joking, ā€œHa, what are you doing? Looking for your old manuscripts?ā€. Oliver just laughed and continued looking. When recounting the story to Krista Tippett, she chuckled and said, ā€œ...my job in the morning was to go find some shingles.ā€
To simply be dedicated to the work of the day, to be unmoved and uninterrupted by either rejection or by accolade represents a degree of settledness that I find very beautiful and very challenging.
She was known for writing while she was walking...
Ludwig Wittgenstein / Wendell Berry ā€” ā€œHow to Be a Poetā€
Tumblr media
To continue on the subject of the working life, last night I came across a beautifully concise quote from Ludwig Wittgenstein that speaks to a consistent tension I experience: the urgency to cultivate the solitary and silent spaces required for thinking and working, and a loud and frenetic pull in the opposite direction to ā€œproduceā€ (to what end? - I constantly find myself asking). He simply says: ā€œI can only think clearly in the dark."
This sentiment is echoed in Wendell Berry's proverb-like poem ā€œHow to Be a Poetā€ (wit and wisdom go together well):
ā€œ...Any readers who like your poems, doubt their judgement.ā€ [...]
ā€œStay away from anything that obscures the place it is in.ā€[...]
ā€œ...make a poem that does not disturb the silence from which it came.ā€
Both Wittgenstein and Berry cut against the grain of popular priorities of content-creation, audience-building, beating the algorithms and cutting through the noise (again, to what end?). Instead, they throw open a window to the generous gifts and glories of a life lived in obscurity.
Andy Goldsworthy
Tumblr media
Andy Goldsworthyā€™s work re-convinced me that art has power. That it is able, for those with ears to hear and eyes to see, to create or reveal a different way of inhabiting the world, of inhabiting one's own humanity. My introduction to Goldsworthy was a documentary by Thomas Riedelsheimer called Rivers and Tides: Andy Goldsworthy Working With Time. I watched tall stone cairns being built on the beach, slowly and carefully, only to be disassembled by the gentle but unremitting incoming tide. I was transfixed by bright yellow leaves stitched together and set loose along a creak, moving like a lazy water snake, wending around rocks and logs and gradually twisting and breaking apart. Balls of bright red dust thrown into the air to form dissipating crimson clouds; delicate stick-curtains collapsing at the breath of a breeze; one-ton snowballs on a London summer day, melting to water and then to air.
As Westerners we tend towards a conception of beauty that is extremely specific, a precise and particular point in time: the crest of a wave, a flower that's just bloomed, a new car rolling off the truck at the dealership, a man or a woman at twenty-five... But Goldsworthy's work does something different. It includes these moments but also folds them into something larger. One begins to see the whole story of a thing, from its initial conception all the way to its inevitable fading or destruction, and all of it is beautiful. This changes everything.
I recognize in myself a preference for the promise of a thing more than the reality of a thing, but as I interact with Goldsworthyā€™s work my understanding of beauty is slowly and gently disassembled, like one of his beach cairns. It is replaced with a widened aperture, a more charitable and hospitable read of the people and the world around, and I'm welcomed into a more generous way of being.
Ornette Coleman ā€” ā€œWhat Reason Could I Giveā€ (from Science Fiction)
youtube
Jane Austinā€™s Mr. Knightley says to Emma Woodhouse, ā€œIf I loved you less, I could talk about it more...ā€
All I can say about this piece: Iā€™m fully convinced that this is what angels sound like.

Adventure: When was the last time you really felt alive, and what were you doing? Last Sunday! Watched the Sowoozoo show with Angela and Hans. We set up a huge tent at the rooftop and had fairy lights all around and so much beer and soju and so. much. food. She and Hans ended up bringing most of the food we got home.
