I imagine that in the Do I Look Like Him-verse future, Jill ends up befriending both Tai Pham and Artemis Crock, and I can’t help but think about how those two would interact
#bc they’re both viet right#but artemis would have an EXTREMELY complicated relationship with being viet#i’m basing her off the yja version#if she was raised by her (white) dad by the majority of her life#i think she’d feel insecure abt her heritage#whereas Tai is SO secure in HIS that I think they would clash at some point abt it#also: a thing I know from personal experience:#asian kids (specifically 2nd gen immigrants altho even actual immigrant kids I’ve seen this w)#tend to develop a ‘pecking order’ of who’s more asian than who#and while Tai is not like. an asshole at all obvi. I think even he would be a little prone to teasing artemis a little#literally everyone Ik does it#so. that could be an interesting fic!#alternatively tai could also help artemis (and her mom?) reconnect w her culture#idk could be interesting to write in the future. would only be interesting to me but idc lmao#dc#simu's two cents#jill jordan#<- in spirit#do i look like him?#artemis crock#tai pham#do i look like him au

1) Sydney im having troubles with a friend. (fyi shes a gemini sun & leo moon and im a libra sun & leo moon if that helps.) we used to be best friends but after a while she started getting really aggressive. like she was allowed to say things like "go kill yourself" without any repercussions. everything she used to compliment me about she would start turning it against me.
2) for example she used to say how she'd die to have my body but recently she started shaming skinny people saying that they look weak and how only "thick thighs make them dick rise". shes always been really confident but now shes using her confidence to hide the insecurities she has abt her physical appearance negatively.3) we are also both asian (of chinese descent) but she has a half asian/white sister and growing up a lot of people have always said her sister was the better looking one so now shes constantly looking down on asian culture and genuinely thinks white people r superior. she even told me to my face "i identify more as a white person. tbh im more white than my sister".4) shes isnt academically achieving either (extremely below average) and i think she feels a lot of pressure for not being the stereotypical "intelligent asian". it infuriates me bc IM the one always giving her my notes in class and telling her shes beautiful the way she is and spending so much time making her feel better abt herself.6) plus, its been such a long journey to love who i am and accept my cultural heritage and when i told her how much i loved being asian she completely shat on it and was all like "eww who wants to be asian". all this time ive been giving her the benefit of the doubt thinking that overtime she just got bored and sick of me and treated me nastily bc she subconsciously didnt like me anymore - not that she did these things intentionally...-------Ooooh that's rough. I'm sorry lovebug. Yeah she doesn't sound like a good friend at all and I think it's time to start drifting a bit. You could talk to her about it but it sounds like she doesn't really care all that much and would just turn it into a joke.
