☆ sungho: the builder

i feel like sungho wouldn’t really be interested in playing mc “seriously” but BOYYYY get him into creative and he’s locking the hell in. ik he does NOT play when it comes to building The Ultimate Spruce Wood Base

he got sick of seeing jaehyun build dirt huts as shelter in their worlds so he took on the role of being the MAIN BUILDER… main vocal? yeah. main builder is his TRUE calling. but i genuinely think he’d be good at it LOL his attention to detail is insane

making entire mansions in survival except he doesn’t even collect the blocks himself. he just waits til people come home with them and he steals them for his builds

In the chat… numberonecatdad: who made this farm by my house 212121_: me and riwoo 212121_: y???? numberonecatdad: … LeeSanghyeok: wjats wrong with it :( numberonecatdad: it’s … so bad LeeSanghyeok: it took us 2 hrs to make btw 212121_: okay but it works numberonecatdad: HALF THE CROPS ARE TRAMPLED numberonecatdad: stay away. leave this to me

the next day its a full fledged farm. windmill in the background. beautiful fields of potatoes and wheat surrounded by a pretty fence. flowers adorning the whole thing. true masterpiece 

☆ riwoo: the noob

i think he’s not really the type to play games like mc. like give him tiny tower or something and he’s at like 400 floors.. neko atsume? he got all the cats unlocked. but MINECRAFT? idk i feel like he’s just 🙂 when he plays bc he has no idea what’s going on

everyone will be off adventuring on their own.. minding their business.. and then there's a death message in the chat saying riwoo died to something so incredibly random. everyone is just like ??? bc wdym you died to a berry bush

the members think its so cute how he’s just… there for the ride! but they can’t help but mess around with riwoo because he is truly lost  & blindly trusts everything they tell him bc he doesn’t know any better

In the chat… 212121_: riwoo stand right there LeeSanghyeok: why 212121_: ima show u a cool easter egg LeeSanghyeok: okie ^_^ LeeSanghyeok was squashed by a falling anvil. LeeSanghyeok: wat was the easter egg LeeSanghyeok: i dont get it xxBlockBeastxx2006: LKSJKJFHKJSnfd;sf GiantMountain: oh riwoo GiantMountain: if u left click u can pet the bees and they heal u LeeSanghyeok: rlly? thats cool i wanna try myungj4e: DONT DO IT LeeSanghyeok was stung to death. numberonecatdad: leave that poor boy ALONE

after that, riwoo learns to be cautious of the maknae line.... he just stays with sungho collecting flowers for his builds or lighting up the caves jaehyun explores and running from the mobs :,)

☆ jaehyun: the miner

jaehyun is definitely the type to go straight to mining when you start up a new world. the second everyone sees "myungj4e has just earned the achievement [Acquire Hardware]" they KNOW he's clocking into his full time job in the mines bye

it’s 30 mins in and he has half a set of diamond armor to his name and they’re like ?? bro we just started can you be fr rn… if any of the members ask for materials he won’t do it unless he’s getting something out of it (don’t tell anyone but he made riwoo a set of diamond tools when everyone is still using iron 😍 true romance i think)

lowkey everyone is convinced he has x-ray installed or something bc of how good he is at mining

In the chat… numberonecatdad: can i get three diamonds for a new pickaxe myungj4e: lmao NO  myungj4e: wat do i get in return numberonecatdad: how do you live in a dirt shack and have diamond armor GiantMountain: embarrassing.... myungj4e: okay making fun of the less fortunate now??? numberonecatdad: ill build u a house if u give me diamonds myungj4e: k fine  xxBlockBeastxx2006: OH BUT WHEN I ASK FOR DIAMONDS I DONT GET ANY

at the end of the day tho... he's lowkey a blessing bc if he's feeling nice enough he will hook u up with ANYTHING u need. the boys are spoiled w the way jae's chests are FULL of iron whenever they need it

☆ taesan: the fighter

unironically i think taesan would just be . oddly good at pvp. it’s like one of his random talents LOOOL "good at mc pvp" on his resume LOUD AND PROUD

like you load up into bedwars or something and he’s wiping out teams before you can even get yourself a proper set of armor. its lowkey attractive idk

in your survival world, he’s always instigating fights with the other members in hopes that they’ll want to fight. literally no one can kill him. he can probably 1v5 and still win

In the chat... myungj4e: WHO TOOK THE DIAMONDS FROM MY CHEST WHILE I WAS OFFLINE LeeSanghyeok: it was taesan GiantMountain: …what are u gonna do about it bro. huh. they’re mine now.  myungj4e: bro that was like a full stack. it took me like 3 hours to get them. where the hell are you  GiantMountain: why? you wanna fight for it? GiantMountain: whoever wins keeps the diamonds xxBlockBeastxx2006: oh ur cooked hyung myungj4e: OK DEAL myungj4e was slain by GiantMountain using Diamond Sword.

the way u can hear jaehyun RAGE through the dorm walls brings a smile to taesan's face bc he KNOWS he stays undefeated when it comes to pvp

☆ leehan: the troll

i think he’s similar to riwoo in the sense that he doesn’t rlly know whats going on but once they start their server you know DAMN well he’s looking up Top 15 BEST Ways To ANNOY Your FRIENDS in Minecraft! on youtube.,.. fucking loser (hearts in my eyes as i write this)

they’re usually harmless ones, like filling up jaehyun's chests with junk or renaming sungho's cat to something stupid like “Poopy Fart” or moving all of woonhak's cows from their pen

but ohh… if you piss him awf BADDD i think he would do some DIABOLICAL damage to the world. like imagine taesan is Also Trolling and he kills leehan before taking all of his stuff and running away into the distance. things would be quiet… too quiet…. until next thing u kno theres a whole trap waiting for taesan the second he walks into his house 

In the chat… 212121_: taesan do u still have my fishing rod GiantMountain: ye lol 212121_: can i have it back GiantMountain: LMAO GiantMountain: no 212121_: i think theres a creeper in ur house  GiantMountain: WHAT  GiantMountain was killed by magic while trying to escape 212121_.  numberonecatdad: LOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLL GiantMountain: when the hell did you set that up 212121_: >:)

OKAY YES he spent 46 minutes following a tutorial on how to set up a death chamber full of the WORST potion effects ever ... but it worked so he's sitting at his monitor feelijng like an evil mastermind

☆ woonhak: the sweat

he is like the only one i imagined actually PLAYED minecraft growing up. he unironically enjoys watching minecraft streams too LMAO much like jaehyun, i think woonhak goes straight to mining in survival. except rather than /just/ mining, he’s literally trying to beat the game 

he's usually off on his own doing something but ngl .. i bet he's a backseat gamer when he see's someone doing smth wrong. let's say he's out exploring w riwoo and he's falling SO FAR BEHIND he doesn't know how to sprint he will literally walk into his room to show him how to run

bro probably watched Ender Dragon Speedruns growing up idk i feel like he’s determined to beat the world record (he won’t, but he will definitely try) 

In the chat... xxBlockBeastxx2006 has just earned the achievement [The End?] numberonecatdad: ? 212121_: ?? 212121_: is that what i think it is myungj4e: ../?//???? ?  ??? LeeSanghyeok: wat is that LeeSanghyeok: whys the achievement purple GiantMountain: r u fr rn 212121z: LMAO tryhard alert... xxBlockBeastxx2006: yooo chill we can always respawn it dw myungj4e: HOW DARE U KILL THE ENDERDRAGON WITHOUT US myungj4e: UR FAKE AS HELL xxBlockBeastxx2006 has been banned from the server by myungj4e

woonhak doesn't talk to jaehyun for the rest of the night (he's unbanned the next day, but they force him to restart so he isn't absolutely STACKED)

Long dream

So in my dream I guess I'll start here I was with 3 friends and we were walking around and eventually they wanted to create like a tiktok music vid so I start copying the dance with them as we run around, eventually I get tired and say "hey I fucked up can we re do that take AND take a break man" of the 2/3 they were a bit pissed but one was like also extremely exhausted, for them I leave to go to a Tesco, (guess I'm in the UK??) And try to find lemonade to no avail so I try getting some pastries but idfk how to do their system bc apparently I can pay as I grab the pastries, so 2 british employees help me but they're honestly pissed I'm this dumb, I get it packed and a ginger ale and had back to a car apparently that took like 2-3 hrs so the original girls had already went home and I had argument with my mom about it, but I said idgaf it's too late idk how time went that fast. There was also a point in the dream where I'm with my sisters at the beach and point out how this creep is always here in the summer, and its yoshikage kira and hes like the white van with candy type of predator. Moving on I'm back at my HS and theres this dude whose been following, akward type, I try to be friendly and I head to my apartment??? In my hs (it's like the 5th floor, granted irl my hs is just 2f no dorms) the guy tries to kiss me but I push him away bc I dont seem him like that, and somehow the clutzy shmuck stare fades away from him and he gets mad, and breaks into my room to break shit, I run away but not fully, he thinks I've left but I go in to get evidence and my now destroyed pc, I get it and sees me leaving the hallway and starts chasing me, I really quickly try to run down the emergency staircase, that goes through the busy gymnasium, I run to the athletic director office for help but hes busy on the phone, so I run over to the IT the computer parts I have now look like fuckin croutons in soup, but theres some hard drives that I could pull out to hand to the IT guy, he tries to salvage the data, i try texting some friends if I could stay at their place bc tbh I need new locks, most are away, so i head back hopefully able to barricade myself safely, i go in i kick in the closet to make sure no ones their extra and then i hear the shuffle of papers under my bed and i grab and tackle this Japanese woman that was paid by the weird dude to collect info, I had to poorly type in google translate while holding her down bc she did not speak english, and eventually I called the cops, then the environment shifted and I was basement of a home where the father was trying to kill us (I was the daughter but there was also the wife and son), I hid in the bathroom, took some type of drugs that reduced the noise of my breathing but turned my eyes like wide open and p blood shot, he entered the bathroom checking around, somehow I was able to just stand so still or crouch that his eyes just glazed over me, and he was leaving the brother comes over with a fiery orange hot fireplace poker and stabs him and pushed him into a woodpile to hold him down, we all run up to the top of the stairs, and for some reason the wife and the son agree not to call the cops bc it would ruin their public opinion and their convinced they can get him back to his senses. The end

PART 1 

not my gif

Everyone you talked to and everything you read always said pregnancy was the most beautiful thing that could happen. That it was magical and amazing. You felt that way after the morning sickness had subsided and you felt the “pregnancy glow” everyone talked about. But now at 36 almost 37 weeks, you were absolutely over it. 

It was a Friday night and instead of going out and enjoying the last few weeks before the baby arrived, you were on the couch eating ice cream and watching tv. You put your feet up on the coffee table and rested your bowl on your stomach looking for something to watch.

You started your maternity leave when you hit 32 weeks. Nobody told you how boring it was going to be just sitting around waiting for your baby to come. Most days were spent lounging around your new house. 

You and Tom had finally moved into your new house and you spent most of your day unpacking and getting the nursery ready for the baby who could make an appearance any day. You finished organizing all of his clothes and basic necessities. Although your baby would be spending time in your bedroom for a little while, you still wanted his nursery to be perfect. 

You laid back, still using the top of your stomach as a table, and began watching a movie that had piqued your interest. You were about 15 minutes into it when you heard keys jingle and the lock turning. You looked over just as Tom walked in, looking beat and exhausted. He had been trying to finish the last few things he needed to do before the baby arrived so he could take time off to care for you and his newborn. 

He set his things down and kicked off his shoes. He walked over to where you were sitting and as soon as he saw you, everything negative in his body seemed to melt away. 

“I want to take you out somewhere. You can pick the place. I just need to take you out somewhere and show you off.” Tom smiled at you as he leaned over the back of the couch. You twisted your head to look at him and saw the wide grin he had on his face. 

“Is that so? Well you’re pulling me away from my ice cream and a movie, so it better be worth it.” You smiled back. He walked around to the front of the couch to stand in front of you. He leaned down and placed a sweet kiss to your lips. He moved your ice cream bowl, and grabbed your hands to help you stand up. You moved your legs from the coffee table and placed them on the ground, allowing Tom to help you up. 

~

You both sat there in the restaurant taking in the wonderful time you were both having. You were talking about everything and anything that came to your mind. Tom seemed fidgety and nervous towards the end of dessert. You finished your cheesecake and wiped the corner of your mouth. 

You took a deep breath and leaned back in your chair, you were absolutely stuffed to the brim with the decadent meal you just had. There was honestly not that much room left in your stomach but you always managed to throw down some cheesecake. Tom took the bill and you two were heading out the door when he suggested taking a little walk to the park about a block from the restaurant. 

“It’s a beautiful night, it would be a shame if we didn’t take advantage of it.” He grabbed your hand and led you towards the park. A few minutes later you made it to the park and saw a bench that overlooked the whole thing. Tom saw your gaze fall on the bench and chuckled to himself. 

He sat down next to you and let one of his arms fall behind your shoulders and the other rested on your stomach. He moved it around until he felt what he was waiting for. The baby seemed to know whenever it was Tom touching your stomach and almost immediately would respond by kicking as hard as they possibly could. 

“I don’t think that’s ever going to get old.” He said, looking at your bump lovingly. You rested your head on his shoulder and just watched the interaction he was having with your baby. 

“Seeing how excited you get when they kick makes the tiny feet in my ribs worth it.” You said to him. He snorted and pressed a kiss to your hairline. He shifted on the bench a little, allowing you to lean into his body more. As sneakily as he could, Tom reached into the pocket of the jean jacket he was wearing and pulled out what he had been holding onto all night. 

He kept it closed in his fist and moved it out in front of you. He kissed your cheek to get your attention and moved it closer to you. You turned over his fist and he opened up his fingers to reveal a diamond ring resting in his palm. A gasp left your mouth and you turned around and looked him in the eye. 

“I’ve been thinking about what I want to say to you when I propose for years, probably since we got together. I never want to leave your side for as long as I’m alive. I look at you and all I can think about is the family we’re about to start and how badly I want to keep making babies with you. This is the life I’ve dreamed of having, and it’s not a dream anymore. I love you so much, Y/N. I want to marry the shit out of you. So, will you marry me?” He said in a quiet voice, his eyes darting across your face. 

The only word you managed to get out was ‘Yes’ before the tears fell down your face and you wrapped your arms around Tom. You felt him sigh a breath of relief and embraced you as close as he could. You sobbed into his shoulders as he placed kisses into your neck. He pulled back and grabbed your left hand so he could slide the ring onto your finger. The second it was on he brought it to his lips and kissed your knuckles. 

~ 

When you got home neither of you were ready to turn in for the night, opting to get comfortable on the couch.  You and Tom were cuddled up on the couch watching some action movie when you both started to fall asleep. Tessa was sitting at the other end of the couch, loving the company. 

He had you wrapped in his arms and laid between his legs with your back against his chest, your hands resting on your bump, you used his biceps as a pillow and just let your eyes close. You loved falling asleep wrapped in his arms, it’s where you felt safest. 

You were woken up from your deep slumber by a sharp pain radiating from your stomach. Your doctor said it was normal to feel cramping, as your body was getting ready for birth, but this was different. It was worse than anything you had felt. Refusing to let the panic set in, you just sat there trying to calm down. 

You stayed awake for a little bit, wanting to see if it happened again. You and Tom were still tangled on the couch and Tessa still asleep at your feet. You gasped quietly as you felt another sharp pain in the same spot about 10 minutes later, waking up Tessa in the process. She looked at you and started whining. You shushed her as you felt Tom stir from behind you.

“Tess shh ‘m tryin’ to sleep.” Tom mumbled from behind you and shifted a little, trying to go back to sleep. He tightened his grip on your body as he started to fall asleep. 

“Tom, s-something’s wrong. I’m h-having these pains in my stomach. I haven’t felt this b-before.” You stuttered out. Tom’s eyes shot open and he saw the panic spread across your face. He helped you sit up and kneeled in front of you. 

“Let’s just try and stay calm, yeah? Doctor said to get you in a tub with warm water to relax your body. Wanna try that before we call her?” He said in a low voice, trying to keep you calm. You nodded frantically before he stood up and helped you to the master bathroom. 

He helped you out of your clothes and into the tub. You sat there for a while, letting the warm water wrap around your body. Tom sat there next to you, running his hand up and down your back to help you relax. He whispered words of encouragement as you gripped the sides of the tub. 

After about 20 minutes in the tub you hadn’t felt any pains again. You drained the tub and with Tom’s help you started to stand up. When you were out of the tub and wrapped in your fluffy robe, you felt a huge amount of pressure in your stomach drop, and then a gush of liquid come out from between your legs. You gasped and grabbed the nearest surface to try and steady yourself. Tom looked over to you in panic and just stood there, waiting for you to say something.

“I think that was my water, we should probably go to the hospital.” You squeaked and looked up at Tom. He just stared at you with wide eyes until he processed what you had said. 

You were waiting in the living room as Tom frantically ran around your house, trying to get everything you had gotten ready to take to the hospital. The carseat was installed last week, your bags were in the trunk, Tom’s mom was on her way to pick up Tessa and take her back to her house, and your doctor had been called and was going to meet you at the hospital. You were standing by the door with your hand on the wall, trying to steady yourself as your contractions started to come in. 

“Tom can we PLEASE go, we need to go!” You said to him as you saw his whip down the stairs and into the living room. “Yes, love! Let’s go, I have everything.” He said as he ran to the door. He helped you into the car and made sure you were as comfortable as you could be and you made your way to the hospital in record time. You were in your hospital room getting checked by your doctor within 30 minutes of your water breaking. 

The epidural was working wonders after what felt like the millionth hour of being in labor. Only at 6 centimeters dilated, you and Tom were in for a treat for the next couple of hours. He had asked if the lights could be dimmed in your room so you could try and relax as much as possible. His hands were pressing into your lower back as you laid on your side to try and release some of the tension you were holding there. 

“You’re being awfully quiet, Tom. What’s going on in that head of yours?” You whispered, turning your head to look behind you. 

“‘m sorry lovey. I’m feeling a bit scared and overwhelmed but this is about you and the little one, so don’t worry about me.” He spoke truthfully. You motioned for him to help you turn to your other side. He quickly stood and maneuvered your body to a new position. He sat in his chair again and you placed your hand against his cheek. He immediately leaned into your touch and shut his eyes. 

“It’s okay to be scared right now, Tommy. I’m terrified, if I’m being honest. But we’re going to meet our baby today, just try and think about how excited we’ve been. Everything is going to be okay.” He smiled at your words. You always knew how to talk him down when he was feeling anxious about something. 

“We’re about to become parents. How crazy is that?” You chuckled. He opened his eyes and let a grin take over his face. 

“The craziest.” He whispered, moving closer to you. He planted kisses all over your face and hugged you as best 

~

“One more push Y/N and they’ll be out!” The doctor said as you started to push again. A few seconds later you felt an immense amount of pressure shoot out of your body and as you looked down you saw your baby in the hands of your doctor. They were placed onto your bare chest as they wailed out. 

You were there in disbelief as your baby was just placed onto your chest. You couldn’t believe They were here. They were being cleaned up as you just stared in wonder. Not even realizing you were crying, Tom wiped more tears off your face and planted a kiss on your forehead. 

“Go ahead and check and see what it is.” A nurse said as they continued to wipe the baby down. You looked at Tom as you looked to see what gender your baby is. 

“It’s a boy! Tommy, we have a son.” You cried out, tears still streaming down your face. 

“He’s perfect Y/N, oh my god. Just absolutely perfect.” Tom said with amazement in his eyes. You looked at the way he admired his son and how nothing else seemed to matter anymore. 

“We gotta have more Tom, we have to.” You sobbed out, running your hands along your son’s body. All the nurses and your doctor laughed at what you said. The nurse cleaning him up said it’s not the first thing mom’s say after going through labor. Tom just agreed with you and kept wiping the tears off your face. 

You three were the only people in the world. It was perfect. Tom cut the umbilical cord and just watched in pure shock as the nurses did all his measurements and wrapped him in a blanket. They handed him to Tom and you could see how tense he was as they placed your son into his arms, but almost immediately relaxed. 

He walked over to your bed and sat on the edge of it. You moved over as much as you could and watched your son in the arms of your fiancé. You ran your finger along his cheek and couldn’t take your eyes off of him. 

“Hey mate, happy birthday.” Tom whispered when your son opened his eyes. You looked up at Tom and saw the tears forming on his lash line. Tom brought him closer to his face and placed his forehead against the baby’s. It took everything in you to not lose your shit. 

~

“My goodness, Y/N. He is so beautiful.” Nikki whispered as she held her grandson. Dom was standing right behind her looking at the new addition. 

“He looks a bit like Tom did, don’t he?” Dom asked. All Nikki could do was nod and continue staring at him. Tom had left the room to get his brothers and Harrison from the waiting room so they could have their introduction.

Tom knocked on the door lightly before pushing it open with a herd of people behind him. Harrison was the first to lay his eyes on the baby and all the air seemed to leave his body. Tom’s brothers all walked in and had the same reaction to seeing their nephew.

“Bloody hell, he looks exactly like Tom.” Sam managed to get out, moving to get a proper look at him. Nikki turned a bit to move to the center of the group of the boys. Harrison was the first to reach out to hold him. He looked up to you to make sure it was okay and after you gave him a nod, he carefully took the baby.

“I’m going to implode if you don’t tell us what his name is already.” Harry looked up at you and Tom waiting for one of you to say something. You looked over at Tom motioned for him to get on with it. He walked over to Harrison and rubbed his hand along the top of the baby’s head. 

“This is Oliver Thomas Holland.” Tom announced to the room. You smiled as everyone looked over at him. Oliver began to fuss a little bit in Harrison’s arms and he started to panic, looking to Tom for help. Tom laughed at his friend not knowing what to do with the squirming baby. 

“He’s probably hungry. I’ll take him, just hand me that blanket. You guys can stay in here, if you want.” You stretched your arms out and had the baby passed to you. Adjusting your hospital gown, the baby and the blanket, you managed to get Oliver eating without flashing anyone. 

Everyone found a spot in the room and just started conversations with each other. Tom looked under the blanket a couple times just to admire the love of his life feeding his son. Nikki had asked about the IV in your left hand and you lifted it up to show her, forgetting about the extra piece of jewelry you had on your finger. 

“Is that an engagement ring?!” She slapped her hand over her mouth, realizing she may have been a little too loud. Everyone stopped and looked at you. You sheepishly smiled and looked over at Tom. 

Harry walked over to Tom and slapped a hand on his back, congratulating him. Of course he had told Sam, Harry, and Harrison that he was planning on proposing. Nikki started crying and continued looking at your ring. She hugged you as best as she could with the baby in your arms. 

~

Adjusting to life as parents wasn’t easy. Ollie had decided against sleeping and was up every 2 hours screaming, needing attention from his parents. You wouldn’t trade it for anything, though. The middle of the night feedings and diaper changes made the time you spent with him during the day worth it. 

Watching your son start to get a grasp on life and exploring this new world he was in was amazing. Most of your day was spent on the couch with your little one in your arms, or watching Tom interact with him. Tom was super excited when the labor and delivery nurses had encouraged him to continue doing skin to skin at home. 

Breaking the news to Tom’s fans about the new member of your family was almost as scary as him announcing he was dating you. Tom’s instagram feed was filled with pictures of you, so the fans were very aware of your relationship. You had gone to all his premieres and were always spotted in public with him. Luckily, you managed to avoid the public finding out about your pregnancy. 

Tom had agreed with you about keeping Ollie out of the public eye, not wanting his pictures being exploited. You agreed to one instagram post. Tom’s fans were so important to him, and he wanted to include them in the excitement of having a new addition. 

He had Harry come over to your house to take a few pictures. The one you had approved for instagram was of you, Tom and Ollie on the couch. You held Ollie close to your chest, turning his head so it wasn’t visible. Tessa was sitting right next to you looking into the camera and Tom next to Tessa, looking over at you and Ollie. 

Harry had found a shirt for Tessa online that said ‘World’s Best Big Sister’ and decided it was very appropriate for the occasion. Tom posted the photo to his instagram with the caption --

Tessa is very excited to tell the world about her baby brother. Y/N and I welcomed a baby boy into our lives a few weeks ago. We’re both so overwhelmed with love and joy and are loving this new chapter of our lives. I will be taking time off from filming to be with my son and fiancée, but you will see some more from me in the not so distant future. Thank you everyone for your love and support. #BabyHolland

[365day2021]

Day 131

Today was a stressful day of work for no reason at all. Just long appts all day today and iPhone repair was stressful as well. But woke up at like 10 and got to work at 1050. Started the day on queue for 2 hrs and 15 mins and one was a pretty long one cause it was an iPad that was experiencing crashing issues so we restored it and then after I ran diagnostics and battery failed so I offered him upgrade options and he chose to do that and then restore from backup in store. He was an older guy and it was easy, but right after was another long one cause this wife couldn’t figure out how to make a new Apple ID password and sat for like 10 minutes trying to create a good one while also trying to figure out how to backup her phone to a computer cause she didn’t have wifi and turned out she had an icloud backup and then husband also asked questions about where his music went and yeah. They were all easy just it takes a lot out of you to be in appts that are so long. But yeah after that queue time I was back on it and this time there was a woman who had a death certificate and will from her deceased brother and we were trying to restore it and get the activation lock removed. She spoke with apple support already for like 2 hours and they sent her here, which we don’t really deal with that so I had to partner with Mel and Zack and they agreed to take it off but then our systems were down to remove it so now she’s coming back tomorrow to get it done so like yeah all of it is just draining. Not much else to note and went to lunch at like 317. Hannah planned to get lunch with me since her lunch was at 3 and Ethan was also on it at the same time when we clocked out so we all went to chipotle. We all ordered online on the app and I drove us there and picked it up. We went back and just ate outside and Mel hung out for a bit on and off with us. But yeah went back in to iPhone repair which was also another stressful situation. One Allen was trying to figure out this speaker he replaced in an 11 and the speaker continued to fail. Since the pickup time was soon he decided to go out and have her test it out bc the audio diagnostic sounded fine but it was still failing. End all be all it was still an issue and he didn’t want to put another speaker in so we had to swap which was stressful cause repair central wouldn’t let us .Said something like we had to choose a different answer to why a SUR couldn’t be completed and it took like 4 different people until Ethan just kinda bs’d it and figured it out. ON TOP OF THAT I had to do a rear system on this 12 for no reason. It was checked in for internal cracks to camera which is definitely a camera replacement but the proposed resolution said to replace display and parts quoted was the rear system?? I didn’t get to check the notes since Allen and others were trying to figure out the swap until I finished the repair and saw it. So then I had to recreate it under a new SN and check in a camera and do that repair. So yeah fun times. Thankfully that was kinda the end of it and the last block for an hour was queue which thankfully was somewhat normal. Nothing to note but to close off the day I took over a repair Somhairle left off for tomorrow and it was a blank black screen that was going through calibration and after it finished it was still blank black with lines on it this time??? So yeah I had to try a different display which ended up still being the same issue so then I swapped it. The good part about all this is I didn’t do any visuals and around like 745ish I just walked out with Hannah and Ethan again. Went home, watched some mango and lud streams, ate some chicken bites and rice, reorganized my little amiibo shelf thing in my computer area, submitted my appeal to lower my property tax online since covid, and then started watching invincible. It’s actualy pretty good, watched 4 episodes and now it’s 1247 and i’m listening to a documentary about melee that lud is watching? so prolly gonna stare at my phone and then fall asleep to it

I had 3 days off but they were mostly adulting.  

Saturday 

went shopping which involved driving an hour to the nearest target, plus home depot (i loathe) and office depot 

got my hairs cut  

I spent a shit ton of money on dumb adult stuff like new house locks and doormats and tools and nothing fun whatsoever, but at least I got a really powerful wireless router that reaches the whole house

still forgot one kind of light switch plate

had to order a matching deadlock for the back door bc home depot didn’t have the right one and they have to be the same color and same key okay?

put together my new office chair and did laundry, put away all new purchases

sunday

sealed windows

then washed them, drying out my hands something fierce because I had to use nail polish to soften the paint on them.  because the dumbasses who painted the house did not seal off the windows first, this took hours

forgot to eat lunch 

went to justice league yesterday afternoon, finally

then had to face walmart because there was yet more stuff i forgot to buy

soaked faucets in vinegar to remove hard water buildup

cleaned the stupid stainless steel kitchen appliances with vinegar and then wiped them down with mineral oil to make them shiny and not streaky (stainless steel appliances are DUMB)

today I 

had a plumber in (2 hrs, price unknown)

reattached molding on kitchen counter with liquid nails

had internet installers in (90 minutes, $100 but at least internet is half the price as before?

forgot to eat lunch

went to the post office to pick up packages.  because I have a po box now

was polite to the jehovah’s witnesses

put together my new bar stools

talked to a guy about renovating the horrid bathroom

hung some curtain rods and curtains in the bedroom

scheduled an electrician 

made arrangements for closing tomorrow

I’m exhausted, I have to go to work tomorrow just to rest

it probably won’t be restful

[uniformbravo]

bloop heres a post abt my 3-day trip to san diego B)

this was just gonna be a list of highlights but i ended up talking about a lot so it’s more like a Kind Of The Highlights But I Got A Little Carried Away list

it was a 2 hr drive so i put on some tunes & forced everyone in the car to listen to my thousands of anime ops and piano covers it was *fire emoji* (im not on mobile)

at the end jaelin said she couldn’t hear it the whole time rip

made myself carsick looking at mob psycho memes while we looked for a parking spot at the museum for 20 minutes (it was worth it they were good memes)

the museum we went to had a whole gaming thing going on where they just had a shitload of games out for ppl to play & one of them was just dance projected onto like an entire wall basically & i mean i didnt play but it was fun watching my mom try her best 

she played against two of my sisters who both beat her by more than double her score hgdhgksd bye mom

got a nauseating headache in the science museum & took the opportunity to sit down & look at more mob psycho memes for 35 minutes while the advil kicked in

felt better by the time we went to see this fuckin movie about national parks in the us but idk it was like. the whole reason my mom wanted to go to san diego was to see this movie bc they were getting rid of it soon & after seeing it i can see why they’re taking it out kjgkdjgksd like!!! it would’ve been cool if it told u shit about the parks like fauna and flora shit but it had this dumb little narrative abt these three campers traveling to each park & fucking around & i looked over at jaelin at one point & she was asleep & i was like same

im being too hard on it, it was kind of interesting to watch and had some cool visuals but the acting was pretty embarrassing & unnecessary, i wish it would’ve tried to be a documentary instead of entertaining. that’s my Professional Review of this random movie they’re removing forever soon, hope u enjoyed

realized i had more free time at the hotel than i thought i would & v heavily regretted not bringing my tablet to draw aaaaaahhhhh it was ok tho bc i brought my big sketchbook so i just drew in there B)

i’ve been drawing a lot of terukis i think i accidentally discovered a hidden love for him on the midnight shores of the san diego bay

(what i actually discovered is that he’s v easy to project a rly specific part of myself onto hgkdgksdjkgjsdk)

rented bikes to ride by the bay & it was super fun bc i havent ridden a bike in a long time but like. the second half started getting really hard for me & i thought i was just weak shit bc i literally never exercise but then i realized my back tire had gone flat hfdjghsd my legs were..... so sore

also the seat was shaped weird so my ass was sore for the rest of the trip. it’s still sore tbh. i have a bruised ass

went to a model train museum which was pretty cool bc the little towns had little people & jaelin and i were making up stories for them (my favorite recurring joke was pointing out ppl that had fallen over & calling them dead)

after the trains we made a spur-of-the-moment decision to stay a third day to see more museum shit bc why not so we managed to grab a room at a new hotel and #Locked In our decision

on the way to the second hotel we got a flat tire so i was like convinced i was cursed bc wtf it was literally on the same day???

while we waited for the tire repair i got a pink lemonade from taco bell and it was amazing i can’t believe i ever thought piece of shit sprite was worth even looking at over this

ok so i need to talk about the second hotel we stayed at because it was... literally the fanciest hotel i have ever stayed at in my entire 22 year old life

it was a mariott?? but a fuckin Fancy Mariott ok first of all we were on the 19th floor which just..... what the fuck

floor level was the 6th floor, this bitch went underground (though that might have just been the parking garage idk)

the lobby bathroom was like. jesus christ. to flush the toilet u wave ur hand over a sensor??? what’s wrong with just automatic toilets???? why are these toilets so extra????? i couldn’t even get it to work for so long jgkjdkgsd i hate technology

also there were moist towelettes sitting in a neatly folded pile by the sinks like what even. i thought it was paper towels but then it was wet

the lobby also had this fancy-ass bar/lounge where they served starbucks but u had to have a room key to get in i think

in the elevators to get to the rooms you can’t even enter the floor level until you hold your key card against a sensor like what the fuck..... we had to get some strangers to tell us how to do it gjdks i bet if we hadn’t been able to figure it out the elevator wouldve just dropped us 12 floors to our death like Access Denied, Assholes

the room itself was super fucking cramped tho which makes sense like if im gonna be able to afford anything at a place like this u better believe it’s gonna be the size of a damn peanut. it was the fanciest peanut ive ever seen in my life tho

the view was uhh we were directly across from some tall office building so at night u could like see into all the rooms it was kinda cool but also weird

there was a jar of hershey’s kisses on the coffee table when we got there but it was dark chocolate so like get the fuck outta here with that shit how dare you assault Mine Eyes (i ate like 4)

it rly was a tiny room tho and it didnt help that there were 5 of us rip... like there was a main room and a bedroom and a bathroom and already that’s making it sound bigger than it was hgkdjgskd 

but even tho it was small it had a lot like.. there was a kitchenette that was big enough for like 1 person to stand there but it had a fridge/freezer, sink, dishwasher, toaster, microwave, cupboards & coffeemaker like there was so much shit crammed in there, this wasn’t no minimalist living space it was just. a lot crammed into one tiny floor plan

anyway yeah it was really bizarre for me to be in a place like that & i just constantly felt like i didn’t belong there but that was mostly my anxiety lol i really dont like being in fancy places in general idk. it was still kinda fun tho

the natural history museum was cool, they had a bunch of animal skulls & taxidermy which i thought was pretty neat. all their dinosaur stuff was in the basement tho which u had to pay extra to see which like. bye

they did have some cool movies tho, they were like nature documentaries, one on marine biology around baja california and the other on animals of the galapagos & those were pretty neat, way better than that national parks shit we saw at the science center jgkdjkskdkdjg 

ok so this one’s more of a buildup over the 3 days so im gonna give a lil 3-part summary

day 1: we went to panda express for dinner & i had leftovers so i was like “sweet im saving these for when we get home” (bc the hotel had a fridge right)

day 2: got a rly good burger from a vegan place, my brother got the same one but didnt want his second half so i was like “cool more leftovers im gonna have so much good food when we get home this is perfect”

day 3: fucKIGN LEFT BOTH CONTAINERS IN THE FRIDGE ACCIDENTALLY WHEN WE CHECKED OUT HKDJFLSKDG i was literally so good about it the first two days like when we switched hotels i made sure not to forget them and i held onto them & everything & then halfway through the third day i was like “SHIT”

it’s ok tho bc for dinner that 3rd day we did panda again & i got the same thing so i have the same leftovers again hehehehehe

ok i think that’s basically everything & im not just saying that bc it’s 1:45 am and ive been working on this for like an hour and a half at this point.,.,. overall it was pretty fun, i think i liked the bikes & those animal movies the best... also the drive out bc i got to play my music lmfao (i love sharing my music ok)

anyway the end thank u

* ♦ ⋅ ⋆ — ‹ michael b. jordan › meet kaden walker, a twenty-eight year old male gang banger that is known as the crimson. the rent-a-thug, he is a scorpio, which means he is charming & intelligent, as well as hedonistic & flirtatious. hopefully, nobody will find out kade’s dark secret. 

*uberhaxornova voice* alright helLO ( watch, no one else knows who that is ) i’m caitlyn, i’m 22, i live in CST and i go by she/her pronouns. this is my trash baby kaden.  im v excited to be here & plot with ya’ll!!! speaking of plotting, like this if you wanna plot and i’ll hop into ur ims rEAl quick.. i need all the plots. i have a v basic connection pages up for him HERE, if you wanna take a look @ that and some stats n whatnot below the cut!! ( PS: i will be at work for three hrs but i’ll be on as soon i get home )

( tw: mentions of death, weapons, drugs, alcohol & violence. )

BIOGRAPHY

was born in oakland, california and lived there until he was 16.

lsn ok kaden grew up… hella wealthy.. however, that money was not really made legally ??

his parents were a part of a v notorious gang in cali and lets just say he didn’t have the most ‘normal’ life growing up bc of if.

even though his parents did that for a living, they tried to keep him and his younger sister out of the loop as best as they could, making a life for their kids that was not a life like their own.

however, he knew there was something up at a very young age, there were far too many times where his parents were gone late at night for him not to catch onto their job positions.

but for the longest time, he just told himself they were doing whatever they needed to do to keep him and his sister safe and left it at that.

being the curious person he was, he ended up sneaking out of her first day of class ( i’m talking middle school here ) one day, tracking down his parents car and found a window that was open and listened to the entire conversation about how they needed to end an opposing gang that was treading too close to her parent’s territory. that’s when he found up they were much higher up in rank than he thought.. like.. leader status

he kept silent about it for a while, dropping subtle hints here and there until his parents finally caught on. they weren’t even mad that he eavesdropped on their conversation, instead they sat him down at a very young age and explained everything they did and why they needed to do it.

not only that, they started training kaden as well, teaching her him to use various weapons, how to pick locks, how to get in and out of places unseen and everything else she would need to know to eventually take their place one day.

much to their surprise, kade picked up on these things as easy as it was for him to breathe the air around them. he was a natural born criminal and that made them proud as can be. but he knew he wasn’t the only child they had, so he started asking questions.

after asking why his parents weren’t teaching these things to his sister, he found out that her life path was not that of their parents. from a young age, his sister wanted to be a cop, so that was what she pursued.

for a while, he couldn’t understand it, wanted to know why his own sister would be on the side that could potentially lock their parents away for the rest of their lives.

but that didn’t matter, she wasn’t even an official officer when kaden had to pll her out of school only to explain to her that their parents died in a crash. it was almost too much for the both of them to deal with, but it also made it clear to kaden why his sister chose a different path.

he knew that crashes happened and for a year or so, he lived with that and just wrote it off as an accident. but what people didn’t know was that he’d become really, really good at hacking into people’s information, finding out that his parents weren’t just killed in the crash, they were murdered. the whole thing was a set up.. done by someone below them in ranks that didn’t like the fact they were in power.

this set kaden off, making her go into this downward spiral that even his sister couldn’t get her out of.

he went out partying at a young age, started doing drugs.. anything that would make her forget about his parents for a while.

not only did that happen though, he became more and more motivated to take over their legacy, bursting in on one of the mafia’s meetings only to punch the person responsible directly in the face. he thought it would get him killed, and there was a part of him that didn’t care. but it didn’t, in fact it not only scared the other mafia members, but it instilled a respect for him in them that he had gotten from her parents.

things were find for a while, he was 16 and living with his aunt, uncle and sister.. all of whom  tried to keep tabs on him as much as they could, but even that didn’t help them when he had a con-artist of a boy who paid people to lie for him about his whereabouts and things like that, but they tried and that was enough for him because it showed that they all loved him and cared.

but things changed once again when he turned 16, his uncle catching him trying to steal clothes from the store. and instead of reporting kaden himself, his uncle took him straight to his younger sister and they both filed a roperot on him. needless to say, they were probably a little more harsh on him than they should have been given that it was their relative. they ended up putting him in a cell for a  good three weeks, probation after that and that was when he started to dislike her and her life choices.

after his probation was over, he knew she needed to get out, go somewhere where no one knew his name, no one knew what happened to his parents nor the ties he now had with the same gang that got his parents killed. so she made the choice to move to mississippi. he’d seen articles on it and fell in love so he figured why not?

shortly after that, he found out that he could do dangerous things for a living and basically tried to do anything and everything he could that was considered reckless. falling into the underground life.

he quickly gained the title rent-athug in the gang and was climbing the ladder of the boxing ring he’d gotten into after a flawless first 10 fights, his opponents not even touching him.

now? he’s pretty well known in the underground scene, feared by a lot due to his brash and blunt behavior. not to mention the fact he’s gone untouched in every boxing match he’s had in years.

however, outside of the underground life, he tells people he’s just a trust fund baby who was left with the amount of money he has, making sure his other life doesn’t get out to the general public.

PERSONALITY

while kaden is sarcastic and blunt, he’s extremely outgoing, intelligent and charming when he wants to be.

he normally get along with everyone because he lives his life as chill as he possibly can. sure, there are some people that annoy him but he has never hated anyone other than the person that killed his parents.

loves to party, drink… be wild, do stupid things.

is the dude that probably sends half nude photos to his friends 2 see if they’re up to par ?? like ‘hey do u think this is good enough 2 send’

will want to go to a bar, club or party with everyone because that’s where he feels more comfortable.

extremely reckless.. like probably will suggest they break into a park of something after hours just to go exploring in the dark??

curses like a daMN SAILOR

drinks…. a lot… like….. way more than he should.. probs bleeds whiskey

always has bruised knuckles or a black eye or SOMETHING from his boxing matches

owns a motorcycle.. and its literally his baby

… he flirts… with everyone and is rather amorous. meaning there’s a 99.9% chance he will try 2 sleep with everyone because that’s just his ‘thing’

wears glasses 2 read, but hates them w a passion so he tries not to use them when he’s in public bc she doesn’t wanna get made fun of??

extremely into netflix n chill……. yikes

can cook like a five star chef?? yet he rarely cooks for himself.

a little guarded at first but once those walls are down, and he can trust you, he considers you a friend.

the people he trusts fully though?? shit, he’d do anything and everything for.. like he’d even take a bullet for them ??

dom af & proud.

also might be slightly addicted to sex but he tries to keep that on the dl… ( sIKE hes a hOE )

plays video games whenever he gets the chance, reads comic books and is a marvel & dc hoe.. honestly.

acts like he’s okay all of the time even if he’s not because he doesn’t want to burden people with his problems, they have enough to deal w as it is.

fluent in quite a few languages.

knows how to hack into people’s things or places and does that sometimes whenever he’s bored & looking for something 2 do ??

a burnt cupcake who’s trying

#SevenDaysOfPassionAndAction

(please bear with me, this is long) day 3:

passion: affordable housing and eradicating poverty.

why: I touched briefly on my period of homelessness, but even if I never was, it shouldn't be a privilege to be able to sleep inside.

how I act on it: so this one's tougher, because this is a legislative problem. fair housing laws protect you from being discriminated against on basis of race, religion, gender, or sexuality, but it in no way secures you housing if you are below, at, or just above the poverty line. and yes, there are housing assistance programs, but not everyone qualifies for them. I've been partnering with a local women's shelter to help with this root problem of not having affordable housing available, but also with the symptom of not having an address to put on job applications. I've been offering pro bono resume editing and letter writing services to the women there as well as in my neighborhood currently looking for employment, as well as offering my services as a makeup and hair enthusiast to them once they get interviews. that's really all I can do without a JD.. in my heart of hearts, I wish I could do more. (if anyone has any ideas, share them with me, please.)

what I've learned from it: there's a stigma that comes with homelessness and generally needing assistance that needs to be eradicated completely. again, if you missed that when I said it before: when I was homeless, I had two (2) jobs. two jobs that put me just above the poverty line, but not enough to get me into an apartment. THAT REASON ALONE is why I get angry when people say "just get a job!" it's never that simple, okay. I had two jobs (I’m never going to stop emphasizing the plurality of this. I, one sole woman, garnering two (2) incomes, was still struggling to find stable housing and working through 2 mental breakdowns and two physical ailments (my ulcers flared two times in 5 months, plus the ongoing problems with my right ankle). there are people with NO jobs who cannot work due to illness or disability, and they were struggling just the same as I was, catching the same denials for assistance, but for completely different reasons. I was denied section 8 or a housing voucher because I don't have children AND at the time, I had 2 jobs. being single with no dependents put me on a different scale of need, and thus, at a lower priority than someone with child(ren). even when it got to the most dire of straits and I thought I'd have to live in a shelter, I didn't qualify, because in the winter months, the priority is given to women with children. and to be quite frank, I would rather the children have somewhere to sleep indoors when I could, at the best, stay at a friends, and at the worst, sleep in the car.

you cannot save your way out of poverty. there is literally nothing more expensive than being poor. someone asked me "well where did all your money go?" and my honest response was "food, phone, gas, storage unit, and hotels." here's how that breaks down: — there's nowhere to cook or store food when you're homeless, so you spend a lot of money on small quantities of cheap takeout. ("maybe stop buying on frappuccinos!" is literally the most entitled thing I ever heard during that time. that one $4 tall chestnut praline frapp is not going to keep me from getting an apartment. please mind your business.) but cheap takeout isn’t really cheap, it’s more like $5-7/meal. that’s like $10-20/day, which is like $70-140/wk, which is approximately $280-560/month ON FOOD. and there’s not too much way around that. — you CANNOT let your phone get cut off when you're homeless and looking for a place. your phone is your first line of safety and defense. your phone is also how you find an apartment. your phone is also how landlords find you, as it's literally the only thing keeping you on the grid, and in places where there's only a 30-day turnaround on apartments (i.e. DC), if you miss a call/email from a property manager, you will lose the unit. — you drive literally everywhere to keep from loitering and drawing attention to yourself. as a single Black woman, looking like you're wandering makes you look suspicious, and "looking homeless" is inviting danger and harassment. I was blessed to have income, so I got a cheap 24-hr gym membership, and that was where I showered and napped (in the tanning rooms, bc they had doors that locked), and I had a 24hr gated storage unit not far from my gym where I stored interview clothes and the like. so I could park there when I just needed to wind down, or change really quickly, or whatever. (remember, looking homeless will not get you a job. grooming and upkeep were paramount to making it through. I also got REALLY good at doing my hair and making headwraps to clean up my look when I couldn’t afford a trim or it was too cold for a wash-n-go.) — my right ankle never really recovered from the two times I broke it, and as a result, when I’m in a seated position for too long, I lose circulation in it and it swells. if and when my ankle would swell beyond recognition, it would prevent me from standing, thus prevent me from working. so literally, to maintain my job, I’d have to get a hotel one or two times a month specifically so I could lay down and prop my foot up. DMV hotels are not cheap, even with a deal. you can easily spend a month's rent just trying to stay safe while you're homeless, and before you know it, there goes your security deposit. — moreover, I am single. I don’t have anyone to split bills with or carry me because I’m without. so many people in my life operate out of a place of “we” and I operate from a place of “me”, because, well… I don’t have anyone I can depend on in that way. that took a serious toll on my mental health, and that isolating feeling of having to tough it out by myself truly made me feel as though I was in 16ft hole with a 4ft ladder. I didn’t think anyone could help or understand me.. but bless God, I was so wrong.

when I would tell my friends this, they would be astonished. I was often met with "we never would have known!", but that's because I didn't talk about it, because I was ashamed. I thought being working poor and homeless was something that I'd done to myself, something that I deserved to have happen to me, something that I would honestly never be able to get myself out of. but I honestly and truly was very blessed that a) I had income, b) I worked for a company that provided me resources to keep me safe and at the very least mentally healthy while I was looking for a place, c) I had a colleague who let me stay with her rent free for 2 months without question, and later, d) a property manager and a landlord who believed in me and thought I needed a home to tell my story from. and once I realized that homelessness wasn’t a defining factor of my life, but just a shitty circumstance, it made busting out of it that much more feasible.

the last thing I learned- and this is most important- is that closed mouths/souls/minds do not get fed. no one gets out of this crap alone. once I realized that homelessness was not something I was going to be able to fight my way out of alone, I discovered that I had a pretty dope support system this entire time, and they were with me all along the way. and though they are few, I was made aware of some of the privileges I possess being a Black American Catholic woman with a strong network. nobody gets through life without the help of at least one stranger. my friends were strangers before they were my friends.. I never forget that we were all strangers until we said “hello”.

so to anyone reading this: you are not alone. I will not allow you to think that you are alone trying to get through a shitty situation. everyone’s story is different, and yours deserves to be respected and told with dignity and grace. and if you truly do need help, contact me, and I will do whatever I can to make sure you have the proper resources available to get back upright and on the road to your independence.

do not let your home insecurity snatch your dignity. do not let your home insecurity be the reason you allow someone to take your humanity. you are blessed far beyond your circumstance, and no one can ever stop what is Divinely ordained, no matter what.

I love y’all. stay safe out here.
