name: iris jihye baek

age: thirty-five years old

dob: october 7th, 1968

gender: cisfemale, she & her

sexuality: biromantic bisexual

zodiac sign: libra sun aries moon sagittarius rising

birthplace: jacksonville, florida, usa

residence: greenwich village, new york city, new york, usa

occupation: senior fashion editor at jade magazine, fashion model

though most people wouldn't believe the truth, iris baek was born in a trailer park in jacksonville, florida

before iris her mother crystal began her life in jacksonville, cycling through a series of failures and dead end jobs until she took up waitressing at a dive bar where she remained until her untimely death in 2000

crystal had iris when she was seventeen, the product of a deadbeat boyfriend who skated off with money from his rich parents and left crystal to fend for herself

from then on it was just iris and crystal, having been kicked out of the house by her parents

at first when iris was a child her mother seemed like superwoman, always taking them on adventures or buying her new toys but she was spending money they didn't have, racking up credit card debt and taking out loans they couldn't afford

because of her mother's youth and irresponsibility iris had to work from a young age. when she was fourteen she had a job in a clothing store at the jacksonville mall. it was here that a modeling scout discovered her and invited her to come take some digitals

though iris was wary the agent turned out to be legitimate and soon her digitals were sent off to la and new york where responses came back far quicker than expected

plenty of agencies were interested in signing her, desperate to escape the toxic loop of her mother's behavior she moved to new york into a model apartment with five other girls and started working.

by the time she was seventeen she was walking jean paul gautier and shooting international campaigns. her popularity had skyrocketed

she modeled for upwards of ten years but slowly began to step away from the industry disillusioned with the direction it was heading in the 90s and desiring to change it

that was how she landed at jade magazine. her provocative and progressive vision for the future of fashion interested to the executives. she quickly rose through the ranks to the position of senior fashion editor

her experience as a model gave her a unique perspective on where fashion was heading from the 90s into the 00s.

iris developed something of a reputation. while certainly charismatic she was exacting and expected nothing less of perfection from her department staff. if she felt you fell short she'd certainly let you know

now eyeing the position of editor-in-chief she'll do anything to push the envelope at jade and prove her worth to the position.

i've been thinking about exactly why people portraying one of the other crew members successfully killing Jimmy as a "for what you did to Anya" kind of thing rubs me the wrong way a bit and it's because like..... this is just another form of taking agency away from Anya, in a way. it's kind of framing her as some meek, shivery woman-thing who's entirely at the mercy of the men around her, either to hurt her or save her.

(i understand these are mostly for wish fulfillment on the audience's behalf because everyone would like to see Jimmy pay for his crimes. whether or not this is the intention of the person writing it isn't really relevant, characterization happens with or without intent. i feel like it misses the point by portraying it as an 'ideal ending'.)

because... Anya is a capable person. she takes things into her own hands when she can. it was partially(?) her idea to get into the cargo,

(before he interrupts her.. remember when she interrupted Curly in the dead pixel segment?)

it was her idea to get the code scanner from the cockpit,

it was her idea to get the medication from behind the foam.

(the chance to do these things herself is not given to her.)

she'd been keeping Curly alive for months in a critical state somehow, her psych evaluations at the start are only so useless because Jimmy refuses to take it/her seriously and Curly is obviously biased when he puts it into his own hands. he's known him a long time, like he said. "I'll just put good for that one."

there's not a lot of material to work with because of how the game is framed, but it's there. we are working with two very biased perspectives and neither one lends Anya what she deserves

there's significant changes in how she speaks post- and pre- crash, and depending on who she happens to be talking to. i recommend re-reading her dialogue, because the difference is drastic

she acts the way she does around Jimmy because he has tangibly done horrible things to her, is actively hostile, and physically could not escape him by any means. she can't take away Curly's agency herself, in my eyes. you have to remember that Especially in the post-crash segments of the game, it's entirely from Jimmy's POV, and he obviously does not (and has never) thought very highly of her or treated her with a shred of respect

i've seen a general idea that she can't bear to hurt other people for any reason, but that doesn't really track to me. this is the real point of the post by the way

it seems based on the parts where she says she struggles to give Curly medication. "It just hurts him so much, I can't stand the noise." "It makes me nauseous."

it's not really the same thing as, say, hurting someone in self defense

this sounds like she did want the gun itself. this never felt worded like someone who would refuse to, at very least, threaten Jimmy with a gun, with violence. if she had been given the agency to make that decision on her own. she wasn't though

she still tries to reclaim some of it even as she's denied it

by the end she's still trying to keep that gun out of his hands

i think some people overly soften her, for similar reasons the game itself is trying to comment on. she's not a tender victim who couldn't cause pain to another out of the softness of her soul, she's a person who's had every last bit of agency ripped from her repeatedly until she couldn't take it anymore. that's the point. that's why framing her that way, "needing" someone to save her, is odd to me

she didn't need Curly to save her, she needed him to take responsibility

she didn't want to escalate things, but she's not an idiot. self defense was absolutely on her mind

but who knows im just saying shit *smiles serenely*

On average, what is the total MONTHLY amount that you spend on dining out*?

*(This doesn't only count going out to restaurants, but also stuff like picking up fast food to bring home, getting a coffee on the way to work, getting a premade sandwich from a grocery store deli during lunch, buying a quick snack from a convenience store or food cart whilst walking somewhere, ordering a pizza or any other food to be delivered to your home, etc.)

*(If you often dine out in groups/as a household: calculate and divide the costs so that you get a Per Person average. This is for YOU individually, NOT the total household/group costs)

(I'm sure polls similar to this have been made before (very common topic), I just haven't personally seen one that I can remember, so, I was curious to do my own! I was discussing this with a group of people today and it was very interesting to see how widely the number varied between individuals. :0c )

(Reblog for bigger sample size if you can, and feel free to explain your answer in tags if there's anything extra to add!)

I think that the party's communication issues can be summed up as "man, is it awkward to tell someone that you want to spend the rest of your life with them if you've only know them for a few months? Probably."

[icewindandboringhorror]

What would you choose? :0c

(note: original image is from HERE (link) - but I edited it to add a wider variety of options.. also added $3 extra to the total, even though I know that makes it more uneven lol, I thought if you're adding 10 whole extra items, the money to spend should at least be increased slightly, if that makes sense..)
