i donā€™t know how to say this and i really donā€™t like getting ā€œcontroversialā€ here but i really think there are more pressing matters as far as human rights go than. shitty 4chan-tier jokes made upwards of 3 years ago
like youā€™re fully allowed to be upset at what was done and what has come to light! i just really think this whole thing is being blown a bit out of proportion

deez nuts
random but can people ā€˜criticizingā€™ dream for not streaming ā€˜enoughā€™ on twitch after he said he would donate his june twitch earnings to the trevor project like. stop? especially those accusing him of straight up being lazy
like. idk how to break it to you but streaming is Not dreamā€™s full time job. he has other obligations, he runs a youtube channel (which doesnā€™t just include filming and uploading? behind the scenes he has to train and develop strategies for manhunt, which george literally said is coming back soon, plus he missed uploading in may), he runs a merch company (that includes loads of things he has to deal w that he doesnā€™t tell us about, adding george and sapnap to it definitely hasnā€™t made it easier Also He Is Literally Donating $50,000 as a joint effort with them) and he is heavily involved in dream smp lore (and that lore is tied to many other creators who he has to have discussions with and make arrangements with)
on top of that streaming is clearly something that hasnā€™t been entirely positive for him recently wrt literal antis that hate follow and hate watch and sit there waiting to clip shit out of context so they can continue to paint him as some evil villain (no matter how stupid those people seem)? KEEP IN MIND. that after the literal stream where he promised to stream more he got harassed n clipped to hell and back again? that affects things!! like does the fact that the last few times he ā€˜streamedā€™ was through his merch discord not mean anything to you. itā€™s fucking stressful and terrifying to receive avalanches worth of hate n harassment everytime you so much as breathe on a twitch stream, and itā€™s gotta hurt every time u go live thinking itā€™ll be fine this time only for stuff to happen anyway. also streaming live in front of hundreds of thousands of people for an extended period of time has never been inherently EASY and gives you feelings of apprehension, something that is multiplied a hundredfold for dream
besides. dream isnā€™t the only one whoā€™s barely streamed this month lmao?? george n sapnap have been MIA a lot too n their friend groupā€™s randomly alluded to working on various things that are like secret but also time consuming? and yes weā€™ve seen dream pop up here and there for like. mcc benchwarming n to like interact w george on jack manifoldā€™s stream etc but. those are a sparse few hours within weeks of time. we donā€™t know what he does and even if he has been taking time to be free and dick around that is his prerogative? itā€™s not malicious he hasnā€™t had a proper break in years and as we have seen heā€™s been cutting back on twitter Very Recently n also straight up deleted his private that got infested w haters. just Let Him Be man
also. come ON. aside from ad revenue, all the money dream potentially makes from streaming comes from the viewers themselves. if u wanna donate to charity so badā€¦ donate the money yourself? and if the people who were going to donate to dream in the name of Charity decided not to donate because dream didnā€™t stream. thatā€™s on them??????? & besides that. dream can always just fucking donate money again? itā€™s not like he said this june thingy is a one time thing n heā€™ll never give away money to good causes ever again? heā€™s donated to the trevor project before n other charities when it wasnā€™t pride month? he doesnā€™t have to ONLY do stuff in the month of june to make a difference. just accept that you donā€™t know his life or the state of his mental health and that him not forcing himself to stream doesnā€™t make him a bad person OR a liar? i donā€™t care if youā€™re ā€˜disappointedā€™. save your disappointment. heā€™s already gone above and beyond and thereā€™s other times and ways for him to donate more to the trevor project if he wants to. and if he does, that isnā€™t knowledge weā€™re necessarily entitled to. philanthropy is philanthropy whether youā€™re aware of every single instance of it or not
at the end of the day heā€™s just some guy. who has to deal with not just haters but his own fans potentially psychoanalyzing or harping on every little thing he does and says. no one can deal with that 24/7 and if he needs to take a step back from that shit itā€™s not any of our business. have some compassion n remember that heā€™s just as human as you are. who has unique struggles you cannot fathom. especially if you claim to like him as a person

Ok, I've been sitting on this for a while and since you have one of the only reasonable antiblogs here...
Here's my thing about GISH. Is it a senseless money grab so Misha can squeeze all that he can from the fans? Maybe.
Do a majority of the funds neccesarily go to the charities they're working with? Probably not.
However, I know a few people who have participated, and a lot of the tasks or "items" or whatever are actually...good? Like, some of them are wasteful as all get out and some are downright dangerous, but a lot of them are like, recycling and helping out your community and cleaning up your neighborhood. There was even one that was become a bone marrow donor. Things that don't line the pockets of the people involved but like genuinely encourage people to do good on their own. They may be doing something good for a stupid reason, but they're still doing something good.
It's kind of like all the fundraisers that the h*llers started after the finale. Sure they were donating money to those causes out of spite, but they still raised a lot of money for really good causes, so can we really be mad at it? The reason may not have been pure, but the end result was a few previous unknown charities got recognition and funds so....
Idk. Maybe it's just me, but I've never seen the point of hating on GISH. If people want to fork over their cash and do crazy shit, just let them? It's their money. At least it will get them offline for a while and make them do something productive.
You're totally right! If I ever came off as hating on GISH, that wasn't my full intention. Do I think some of the past items have been a little creepy and not thought out? Yes. What man in his late 30s asks young, barely legal women to send him pictures in bikinis made of food? That's weird.
However, I do think that some of the good items, the donations, signing up to be donors, the helping communities, that stuff is great. Sure it's probably just a cash grab for Misha, but like you said, at least people are doing good.
I've done GISH twice actually, and some of the items that stood out to me were becoming a bone marrow donor, donating plasma (I unfortunately wasn't able to do that because my ID was expired which I thought was lame as heck, but I digress), doing a chore for an elder neighbor or family member, that kind of thing.
I think GISH gets hated so much because it's Misha just squeezing money from his fans under the guise of charity. As long as people are transparent and honest about the fact that while the hunt does generate some good, but is also just a pointless money grab, that's fine by me.
What I don't think is fine is Misha acting like he's this charitable human being without any actual proof that the money he's raising actually gets to the charities, and is a decent amount of money. I also don't think it's okay for his stans to act like he's exempt from any criticism because he "does charity". Okay, John Wayne Gacy did parties and parades for kids and worked with his church, did he not? Should he be exempt from criticism too or.....?
This kinda got a bit tangent-y so I apologize. But yes, GISH does do some good and shouldn't get as harshly criticized as it does!

He saw me dead to the fucking world and just done with everything. Whenā€™s the last time you were on the phone after 2 AM? Wow... probably not since a few days before the aforementioned suicide attempt and I called Jason's landline, desperate to talk to him.

What was the most length youā€™ve ever cut off your hair and why did you cut it? 8+ inches because I no longer wanted long hair.

hello miss maam leia !! sana safe ka always !!! idk kung marami ka pang filo followers pero gusto ko lang sabihin na kung may extra money kayo donā€™t forget to donate sa mga trusted donation drives, charities, orgs, etc. super need ng cagayan ng help natin šŸ„ŗ ayun lang labyu mahal stay safe always po -hulaan mo ulit sino hihi
YES, MADAAM BABYā€¼ļø
I'm more active about this sa Twitter but for my non-Filo moots, here's what's happening:
Certain regions at the Philippines, specifically at the north (I'm not sure which parts but I'm certain that the following are in danger right now: Cagayan, Rizal, Marikina, Metro Manila, Pasig, Isabela, Aurora, and more) are now suffering due to Bagyong Ulysses (internationally called as Bagyo Vamco). Not to mention, we haven't fully recovered from Bagyong Rolly, too.
Some of the residents are still entrapped in their houses and are in need of rescue. If you watch or read the news, some are currently staying at their rooftops (yes, the flood is that bad) waiting for aid. Usually, those who are entrapped are families who have children and elderly with them and unfortunately, we lack the man power as of the moment but we are trying! It's really heartbreaking :((( and I think Cagayan needs help the most atm? It has something to do with the water dam?
Please enlighten me to those who know more.
I'm so stupid to not post this earlier pero salamat Madaam Baby!
Here are some organizations, individuals, etc. that I found at Twitter who are accepting donations! (Please be wary with donating, a lot of individuals are taking advantage with the natural calamity)
Liyang Network
Art Commision 1
Aeonix Art Commision (5 slots only)
A Whole Thread of orgs. and individuals who are accepting donations
This, too (A thread)
This also (art commissions for a cause)
I'm sorry if it's not that much šŸ’€ ang hina ng net, I can't dig up the donation drives I retweeted.
AND ALSO, FILO MOOTS P L E A S E, don't feel bad on criticising. May right tayong batikusin anong ginagawa ng iba sa kalagitnaan ng nangyayari sa bansa natin šŸ’€

Hi Minnie! First of all, thank you for being so sweet, reasonable and respectful, I can't even describe how much joy your blog gives me! You are a true pro in emotional support for Evanstan fandom, so I guess I kinda need some reassurance. [1]
The thing is, as you probably know, some Seb stans on Twitter take the whole Chris insta situation and turn it into smth embarassing, like making fun of Seb and Mackie ignoring Chris and calling the idea of the challenge stupid (even though Chris did donate, not just "asked fans for money", as they say). It's like they feel the need to attack the first before smb calls they fav out. [2]
I know there ARE good people in Seb fandom, it's just that the aggressive ones are so loud and spread their bs so fast, I end up seeing it on my TL. No matter how stupid it sounds, it keeps making me sad to see so much hate towards Chris and his fans not from some random locals but from Seb stans. It's like two halves of my heart are torn apart. Not even ship-wise, it just seems so hard to love them both and be present on twitter these days. [3]
And, since I'm whiney af today, one more twitter thing: the CW promo era was some kind of honeymoon for us, sure, but I've recently seen some opinions on how Chris was all lovey-dovey and Seb was stiff and bored and uncomfortable, how their interviews were unnatural and boring. I mean, in my part of fandom (non-English speaking country) there has always been a popular perception of boys' dynamic as these "over-excited puppy playing around a confused cat" vids, if you know what I mean. [4]
But it kinda seemed ok for me, and the way they acted a little awkward around each other etc. Well, you can tell I'm easily affected cause now it does feel more negative to me. Stuuupid, I know. Maybe it's my "let's feel sorry for Chris and his fans" phase, idk. Sorry for bringing it here, you just seem to reassure people so well. [5 and last, it was long lol]
Hello my lovely!! This was indeed long hahaha but thatā€™s totally fine, I myself am also someone who also has trouble keeping things short to I feel you šŸ˜˜Ā 
This is a very long reply so Iā€™m putting it under the cut so I donā€™t clog up peopleā€™s dashes!
Okay so first of all, let me say I was never a fan of Twitter, but everything Iā€™ve heard lately has just lowered my opinion of it even further. I know thereā€™s a lot of amazing stuff and brilliant folks on there as well, but it also seems to be where all the bitchy, hateful, entitled and inappropriate people congregate. So personally, Iā€™m very happy with my little community on Tumblr when it comes to fandom, and for news and social media I prefer actual news outlets and instagram. The sad truth is that there are a lot of harmful and hateful opinions in the world, and as someone who struggles with anxiety, I try to find ways to avoid a lot of it. Especially the stuff I canā€™t do anything about (you can try to reason with most haters until youā€™re blue in the face, and 90% of the time itā€™s not going to make an ounce of difference).Ā Itā€™s much easier to curate your own experiences on platforms like Tumblr and even Instagram than it is on Twitter, or so Iā€™ve gathered. So Iā€™m afraid I donā€™t have a lot of helpful advice for you there apart fromĀ ā€˜maybe try and stay away from Twitter if you canā€™ which you probably donā€™t really want either...
As for the whole Seb vs Chris issue: itā€™s clearly completely ridiculous. There is no ground whatsoever to believe theyā€™re at odds. At worst, theyā€™re now just casual work friends, but there is no reason to believe thereā€™s any bad blood. Itā€™s interesting to consider that initially, the argument seemed to be they had fallen out and both disliked each other (no idea where that came from but sure), then it was that Chris didnā€™t like Sebastian (because he allegedly shaded him when he joked that Scarjo was the only one of his friends who came to see Lobby Hero), and then Chris got Instagram and tagged and followed Seb, but because Seb hasnā€™t responded to the challenge yet, he now apparently hates Chris. For what reason, god only knows, becauseĀ only last year at MCM London (where I was present myself) Sebastian gushed about Chris and his experiences with him while filming the Cap movies, and lets not forget it was him who initiated the hug at the Endgame premiere. Long story short: they donā€™t dislike each other. Theyā€™re completely fine, people just like to make up drama for whatever reason.Ā Ā Ā 
As for the Sebastian stans who hate Chris and vice vera: to be honest, I wasnā€™t even really aware it was an issue until recently, because I was under the naive impression that it was kind of impossible to love one but hate the other. Both of them are such amiable, sweet, thoughtful, funny, talented guys, and everyone who actually knows them adores them, so why on earth anyone could hate either of them is beyond me. But even if you do, I genuinely donā€™t understand this need to pit them against each other? Why? I think a lot of it is down to people just liking drama, or being actual 12 year-olds who still see the world in a kind of high school dynamic-way. Iā€™m not saying Chris and Sebastian have never done anything wrong, but in my opinion, none of it warrants outright hate or being cancelled over. Itā€™s such an immature and unreasonable take. Iā€™m just sorry for the people who canā€™t love both of them, because man, are they missing out! I understand that itā€™s painful for you to see all those opinions when you love both of them so much, but thatā€™s why I try to just avoid them. I know they exist, but not seeing them makes dealing with it a whole lot easier, I promise! ā¤ļø
With regard to the challenge itself: if the celebrities who are taking part in it are not donating themselves, then yeah, that would be problematic. However, we know that Chris donates to a ton of different charities, so thereā€™s no doubt in my mind that heā€™s donated to this cause as well. Asking people to buy tickets to try and win thisĀ ā€œprizeā€ is not in itself an issue, if you ask me. People can think for themselves, canā€™t they? If they think itā€™s worth it, they think itā€™s worth it. Theyā€™re not being forced to part with their money, and moreover said money is being used to help people in need. Of course fake and problematic charities exist, but there are still good ones out there as well, so letā€™s assume for the moment this one is actually doing all of this from a genuine desire to help people and itā€™s not some money grabbing scheme.
Furthermore, as Iā€™ve said so many times before, I really donā€™t believe Sebastian and Mackie areĀ ā€œignoringā€ Chris. If theyā€™re choosing not to do the challenge (they still might do it at some point) then Iā€™m sure they have a good reason for that and it isnā€™t that theyā€™re holding a grudge and are thinkingĀ ā€œscrew this charity and that Chris Evans, Iā€™m going to ghost him to get my revenge!ā€ I mean, do these people even realize how ridiculous that sounds šŸ™„ I also believe they would have let Chris know about their decision privately. They do have each otherā€™s phone numbers, you know...Ā 
And lastly, about the CW press tour... I donā€™t know what footage these people have been watching to come to such conclusions, or whatā€™s wrong with their eyes and ears, but that makes NO sense to me. Iā€™ll tell you what; it was mostly the footage from the CW press tour that got me convinced there was something going in between the two of them! Both Chris and Sebastian acted in a way that screamedĀ ā€œsmitten kittensā€ to me, and if there was ever anyĀ ā€œstiffnessā€ from Sebastianā€™s side, then that was no doubt just his slightly more reserved personality compared to Chris and Mackieā€™s. Chris and Sebastianā€™sĀ videos together give me LIFE, so for anyone to call them boring is actually kind of insulting lol. To me, almost every interaction Chris and Seb had during that press tour showed that they were either low-key (in a friendship way) or high-key (in a romantic way) crushing on each other, and they clearly admire each other very much. Any awkwardness Iā€™ve ever seen between them for me seemed to stem from that crush (is anyone not at least a little awkward around their crush sometimes?) and not from any dislike from either side. Thatā€™s actually such a ridiculous idea to me that it doesnā€™t even make me worried, it just makes me laugh. Some people really donā€™t have eyes, it seems.Ā 
Anyway, that was a reeeeeeaaaaaallllyyyyy long reply lmao, Iā€™m sorry! I hope this helps a little though, because I do know how shitty it is to feel like you do about things that are supposed to make you happy!! Tuning out the haters and focusing on people who feel the same way you do in my experience is the best way to get to feeling good again šŸ„° Big hug, and hopefully youā€™ll feel better soon!

Tip Toes
Summary: Iā€™m on my tip toes, trying to see past my ego. Reaching for something more than this feeling of being important. Leaving my heart behind is bleeding, but my pride is screaming. My future will listen to me, listen to me.
Warning: I wanted to write angst, but this came out. IDK how to label it. Listen to tip toes by half alive while reading. issa long one
Tumblr media
Y/n had not dated much. Actually, she did not start looking for a relationship until her freshman year of college. By then there werenā€™t many people she talked to and considered a friend; therefore, the idea of dating someone, being close to someone that was not her friend, did not pique her interest. Around the time she met Brendon and Sarah, she had lost all hope in a romantic relationship. It almost seemed too good to be true, a truly happy relationship seemed unattainable.
This feeling came in waves, making her feel nauseous like she was on a boat in a hurricane. It became truly difficult to accept a happy reality that ended in kids of her own and a husband or wife, but she knew it was just about impossible. Her best friends were a married couple and a gay man (who was also in a happy relationship), they always rooted for her. But they didnā€™t understand, she was a twenty-something-year-old who had no idea how to even kiss someone. Everyone always told her (especially her friends) that it was admirable that she held out for so long like she was waiting for the right person or something.
In other words, y/n would describe herself as the biggest virgin on earth, and it genuinely was from a lack of trying.
It almost felt as if her own future didnā€™t belong to her.
Some days were better than others, just like the day Sarah asked her to come to hang out at her house. y/n had just gotten done with finals, so she had basically a month of sitting around and waiting for the Spring semester to finally start. Sarah and Brendon cuddled on the couch, y/n on the chair in the corner of the room actually watching the movie and trying to not pay attention to the couple that was no doubt finger banging each other under the blanket they shared.
ā€œI think I should go,ā€ y/n said, ā€œI have to work in the morning so I canā€™t stay up too late.ā€ She stretched her arms and legs when she got up from the chair. Sarah seemed to be frightened out of a daze when she looked up at her friend.
ā€œOh, okay!ā€ Sarah chirped, pushing Brendon away from her, ā€œDo you want me to walk you out?ā€
y/n shook her head, ā€œno thanks, Iā€™m fine.ā€
ā€œWellā€¦ Iā€™ll see you later?ā€ Sarah asked. Y/n didnā€™t really want to. It wasnā€™t that she didnā€™t like hanging out with them, they always made her feel lonely. And sad. But mostly lonely.
ā€œI donā€™t know, I have a busy week at the hospital; I will text you when I get time,ā€ y/n said before bidding the couple goodbye and leaving the house.
Sarah looked at her husband, who had gotten entranced by the movie in the five minutes since he was trying to sneak his hand into her pants. ā€œYou are such an idiot.ā€
ā€œWhat did I do?ā€
-
Y/n got home that night very confused about her feelings. Her brain was spiraling out of control with delusions of being married and having someone who would dote on her the same way Brendon did Sarah. At the same time, she never really paid attention to them behind the scenes, so maybe theyā€™re dysfunctional and she never saw it.
That didnā€™t make sense, if she knew one thing about the couple, it was that they talked about everything. And Sarah told her everything, every fight they had, Sarah would go to y/nā€™s apartment and sit until Brendon sulked his way over.
Every time she thought about the couple, she got a weird sensation of butterflies in her stomach.
No, she thought, I am not developing a stupid crush just because Iā€™m sad and lonely.
That night she couldnā€™t sleep; it didnā€™t help that she knew she did have work in the morning and the hospital was unforgiving when the lab techs were late. By the time she finally stopped swimming in her thoughts, she had dreams of her friends, holding her hand and kissing her on the forehead.
It was 6 AM before she knew it, and she had to get up and get ready for work.
Hopefully, tea would help wake her up before she got to work and did a piss poor job.
-
Y/n had never been more appreciative of the hospital. She had fond memories of staying there, almost dying, meeting so many different doctors that she just didnā€™t have it in her to leave.
Sarcasm, that was the key to understanding her outlook on life. Constant use of sarcasm.
But she would be lying if she said that today, and every day for the past week, she was so glad they had a week full of emergencies and a trip planned for a conference with Lab Technologists across the country. This trip would take her to Boston and all she could think of was the idea of seeing every museum she could for one full week and going to a conference full of people who had a thorough understanding of microbiology and hematology. It was almost enough to make her come in her jeans.
What she did not appreciate, was Brendon coming to visit her while she was supposed to be working. She had just gotten a lab sample to test for any drug she could when Brendon waltzed in with In N Out in his hand. He greeted her with a hug and handed her the bag.
ā€œSarah is at work,ā€ he sighed, ā€œshe doesnā€™t get a lunch today because sheā€™s busy or something, so I thought Iā€™d visit my bestie.ā€ She was too distracted to notice what he was saying. Brendon tried to call her name, the third time she snapped.
ā€œWhat do you want?ā€ she half yelled, looking away from her specimen.
Brendon looked taken aback; he didnā€™t even know how to reply when he has never seen her so angry before. Her coworker, a younger man by the name of Jeremy Ren, looked up from his microscope and stepped over to her area.
ā€œL/n, you go take your lunch break, Iā€™ll take care of this shotgun,ā€ he took the test tubes and brought them back to his microscope with him, still eyeing the two.
She scoffed and stomped out, ditching her lab coat at the door. She led Brendon to the hospital cafeteria and sat down with him in the corner.
ā€œWhatā€™s wrong? You usually arenā€™t soā€¦ā€ Brendon trailed off, ā€œAre you still being overworked? Have you talked to your boss about time off?ā€
Y/n shook her head, ā€œIā€™m justā€¦ fine, Iā€™m fine.ā€ Internally, she cringed. If she talked to him about it, maybe she could resolve the war she had inevitably put herself into.
But the idea of not telling him anything was far more appealing. Nothing had to change.
ā€œAre you sure? You look tired, have you been sleeping?ā€ He reached over and grabbed her hand, tracing his thumb over her knuckles.
God, Brendon, she thought, Stop being so caring, itā€™s not helping my situation. She pulled her hand away and tucked it under her pants. This couldnā€™t happen. She did everything she could to give herself a reason not to develop a stupid crush on the man in front of her. She could only come up with two.
1.Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  Heā€™s married to her best friend
2.Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  He definitely wouldnā€™t see her the same way
Number two made her heart bleed. Not literally, she knew the severity of an actual bleeding heart, she worked in a hospital for Christā€™s sake. But if she were to imagine the pain, this would be it.
ā€œIā€™m justā€¦ excited for this trip to Boston next week,ā€ she confessed. It wasnā€™t a lie by any means, she stayed up all night a month ago when she heard she was going on the trip, planning what she wanted to pack. This didnā€™t change the stare he had on the table where her hand used to be, and his hand still sat.
ā€œOh, that is coming up, isnā€™t it?ā€ he put a smile on his face, trying to quickly recover from whatever feeling he felt. ā€œIā€™m sorry, Iā€™m a bit off today. We havenā€™t seen you all week, we miss you at the house.ā€
She frowned. There was an impulsive need in her to put her hand back and comfort him. But she knew she shouldnā€™t do it because she knew it would only make her feel worse.
ā€œIā€™ve been busy with work, had a lot of emergencies and stuff,ā€ she explained, ā€œIā€™m free this weekend, Iā€™ll try to come over before I leave for the airport on Sunday.ā€ That was notĀ what she wanted to say, why did she say that?
ā€œSounds like a plan!ā€ he seemed happy with that suggestion though, so maybe she didnā€™t have anything to worry about. Ā ā€œHow has your week been, then? What kinda emergencies did you get?ā€
She and Brendon talked for a while, she told him about the guy who came in with necrotic tissue on his arm from heroin, and he told her about his charity live stream and how proud he was of everyone who donated.
Watching him so happy as he explained what happened, she felt herself swooning. They sat in silence for a few moments after he finished speaking, both focused on eating their food. One of the surgical nurses walked passed them with a smile on her face.
ā€œY/n, I didnā€™t know you had a boyfriend!ā€ Brendon smirked and opened his mouth to explain that they werenā€™t a couple, but the nurse continued on, ā€œyouā€™re always going on about how lonely you are! Itā€™s nice to see youā€™re finally getting out there.ā€ Y/nā€™s eyes were wide, and a blush crept across her cheeks.
ā€œUhā€¦ thank you, Andrea,ā€ she said with a shaky voice.
ā€œSo proud of you, my dear,ā€ Andrea smiled brightly t the two before she walked away, bidding them goodbye.
ā€œYouā€™re lonely?ā€ Brendon asked when Andrea was out of earshot.
y/n couldnā€™t speak as she stared at her fries, the only response she gave was a small nod.
ā€œWhy are you lonely? You never dateā€¦ or expressed a desireā€¦ to date.ā€ Damn you, Sarah, she thought, that was supposed to be a secret.
ā€œwellā€¦ lately, itā€™s been a bit different,ā€ she sighed, ā€œIā€™m almost 30, Iā€™ve never been on a real date orā€¦. Done anything, really. I thought Iā€™d at least have a boyfriend by now.ā€ That was easier to get off her chest than she thought.
ā€œYouā€™ve never done anything? Not even likeā€¦ a kiss?ā€ Brendon knew he was badgering her now, but this was so unbelievable to him. She was so smart and beautiful; how could anyone look passed her?
She shook her head, eyes still on the fries that were no longer steamy, ā€œCan we drop it please?ā€
Brendon took in the shakiness to her tone and decided to drop it like she asked. This topic would definitely come up later with Sarah, though. He had so many more questions.
When they parted ways after lunch, Brendon couldnā€™t hold back a smile as he leaned down to kiss her on the cheek. She blushed harder than she had at lunch when she said bye to him. No one, besides her parents and grandparents, had ever kissed her on the cheek.
She kind of liked it.
-
Sarah told Brendon everything he wanted to know. She didnā€™t know why, at first, but he explained what happened during lunch.
ā€œBut you canā€™t badger her or make her feel bad,ā€ Sarah emphasized, ā€œShe always felt self-conscious about it, even after we became friends.ā€ Brendon understood, even though he never had to deal with stuff like that. He had lost his virginity early on, and everything just came naturally after that.
ā€œI would never.ā€
-
ā€œSo, whatā€™s with you never dating anyone?ā€ He had promised not to pry, but now it was late at night in y/nā€™s apartment and he had more than a few drinks in his system. Sue him, he wanted to hang out and she brought out the wine.
ā€œI justā€¦ donā€™t do it?ā€ y/n had a few drinks in her too, the wine was making her feel like being truthful. If she were sober, she wouldnā€™t be telling hi anything, but maybe she needed to get it off her chest? Drunk y/n thought so, anyway. ā€œI didnā€™t get my first boyfriend until my freshman year of college, and before that, I only had minor flings with girls from my school. I donā€™t know, dating always makes me anxious.ā€
ā€œAnd youā€™ve never done anything?ā€ He knew her answer already. This was beginning to get repetitive and even drunk y/n was fed up with it.
ā€œWhy do you keep asking that?ā€
ā€œBecause itā€™sā€¦ itā€™s so rare! Youā€™re like a unicorn!ā€ he laughed at his comparison. She shook her head, she felt kind of offended, but she knew what he was saying. He hadnā€™t meant it to be an insult at all, he was kind of proud of her, even with pressures that a woman date and be married by her age, she didnā€™t feel that. She was unabashedly herself.
He didnā€™t know what came over him when he opened his mouth next, ā€œI mean, I can always help you.ā€
y/n looked into his eyes, and she swore that if she were a meme, she would have question marks floating around her head. ā€œWhat?ā€
ā€œI mean if you ever want your first kissā€¦ or something elseā€¦ I can always help you,ā€ he didnā€™t know why he was saying it, but he couldnā€™t help but offer. The offer was outlandish, yes, but he knew Sarah would be alright with it. She had mentioned before how much she liked y/n, in a more than platonic way.
Before this whole topic came up, Brendon was planning on asking her to be their third, if she wanted to be. However, she told him she hadnā€™t dated someone very seriously.
ā€œButā€¦ wh- h- Sarah?ā€ y/n was blushing, her face and ears were bright red. This was not how she expected this to go.
ā€œShe would want to do the same thing, she has a thing for you,ā€ drunk Brendon was an honest Brendon, apparently, ā€œwas gonna ask you if you wanted to go on a date with us the other day but obviously I didnā€™t.ā€
Y/n didnā€™t know what to say. Like, of course, he had to do this when she was drunk and couldnā€™t very well keep her thoughts to herself.
ā€œUmā€¦. Are you asking me now if I want to go on a date with you and Sarah?ā€ y/n asked.
ā€œWell, that wasnā€™t my first question,ā€ Brendon leaned closer, and cupped her face with his left hand, ā€œTell me to stop if you want me to stop.ā€ He continued leaning in, slowly but surely. He waited for her to protest; when she didnā€™t say anything, he finally connected their lips. If he were to compare all of his other kisses to the one right then, she wouldnā€™t be the worst. She was inexperienced, but her lips were soft and tasted like peppermint from her seasonal chapstick.
When she pulled away, he almost chased after her.
For the rest of the night, he explained the logistics of kissing, and eventually, they both fell asleep on the couch after he went on the the longest tangent on what kind of guitar he would get now that his ā€œcream dream" was gone.
-
She left for Boston after saying goodbye to Brendon or Sarah. She had also talked to Robert (her other best friend) the day before the trip; he yelled at her for not telling him right away about everything that had been happening. To be genuinely honest, she needed this vacation after her night with Brendon.
It was a relief when Brendon left in the morning after they had kissed. The memory of her first kiss still burned in the back of her mind, but she didnā€™t want to focus on that. Right now, it was her time to relax.
That was until Brendon texted her asking what hotel she was at. She told him, just assuming he wanted to make sure she got there safe. Why would she think anything else?
She should have thought of something else. Now she was sitting in her room, scrolling through the TV when she heard the knock at the door.
He didnā€™t, she thought, please tell me he didnā€™t.
She opened the door and saw the couple standing in front of her with giant smiles on their faces.
He did.
ā€œwhat are you doing here?ā€ she said instead of greeting them.
Sarah let herself in, ā€œwe wanted to surprise you! Youā€™ve wanted this vacation for a while, and we thought youā€™d want company!ā€
She really didnā€™t want company, but she put a smile on her face anyway.
-
After spending the whole week with Brendon and Sarah, y/n was exhausted. She only got a real break from the two when she was at the conference. They had both wished her luck that morning and went back to giggling under the blankets of their shared bed.
Now she was back in Los Angeles, and she was so fucking happy to go back to normal.
However, they didnā€™t necessarily go back to normal. Brendon spent a lot more time at her apartment than he used to. He started to initiate cuddling, press kisses to her cheek and hairline, and hugging her more than he used to. She started to see more of Sarah, as well. She did it more subtly. She bought y/n drinks and take her to fancy restaurants, surprises her with jewelry and takes her shopping, anything really.
All y/n wanted was for one of them to say something.
And when she least expected it, Brendon did.
ā€œHave you ever wanted to lose your virginity?ā€ Brendon asked during a movie one day. y/n shrugged, she couldnā€™t say she was surprised, she knew he would ask eventually.
ā€œI guess,ā€ she sighed, ā€œits just not something I really let myself think about. I never thought anyone wouldā€¦ yā€™ know, want to. And Iā€™m 28, no one wants to date a virgin at my age.ā€
ā€œDonā€™t say that,ā€ he took her hand in his. Recently, it had been his sign of comfort to lace his fingers with hers and rub his thumb along the back, ā€œI already told you, me and Sarah love youā€¦ā€
y/n couldnā€™t look up at him, she only stared at her fingers. She didnā€™t say anything, either.
ā€œyou never answered, you know,ā€ he whispered, ā€œlet us take you on one date. A fancy restaurant, or a movie, whatever makes you least anxious.ā€
y/n shook her head. The feeling of drowning, even before saying yes, was obvious. She felt like she couldnā€™t breathe and had to remind herself how to focus on the feeling of his hand in hers.
ā€œor, we can keep it low key, not label itā€¦ just the three of us?ā€
ā€œumā€¦ okay..ā€ y/n thought, ā€œno labeling, justā€¦ just us. Letā€™s go see the new Jumanji.ā€
ā€œThat sounds perfect,ā€ Brendon smiled down at y/n.
Maybe her future did belong to her.

What was the most unsettling film youā€™ve seen? Unsettling films are my jam, man. To name a few, thereā€™s Eraserhead, Room, Midsommar, Eyes Wide Shut, Misery, and most recently, Iā€™m Thinking of Ending Things. Eraserhead takes the cake though. That movie always makes me queasy...
What unethical experiment would have the biggest positive impact on society as a whole? Iā€™m a firm believer in nothing good ever comes out of unethical practices. Iā€™ll never forget reading about an experiment where a group of newborn babies were given basic needs like food and being bathed, but werenā€™t shown any affection whatsoever and it was meant to see if humans can survive with just the most basic physiological needs. By the end of the experiment period half of the babies were dead. The results were honestly a lot bleaker than how Iā€™ve put it, but I donā€™t wanna be a downer lol. Suffice it to say that experiment haunted me for days after reading it.
When was the last time you were snooping, and found something you wish you hadnā€™t? It was around a week or so ago, Iā€™m pretty sure.
Which celebrity or band has the worst fan base? My sister is into K-pop and I hear insights from her all the time, but her one constant is that BTS breeds the most annoying, toxic fans. Iā€™d have to agree. Ariana Grandeā€™s fandom was also annoying at one point, but I havenā€™t heard much from them making a mess these days.
What are you interested in that most people arenā€™t? Autobiographies.
If you were given a PhD degree, but had no more knowledge of the subject of the degree besides what you have now, what degree would you want to be given to you? Why would I deserve a PhD on something Iā€™m clearly not qualified for...Iā€™m not sure Iā€™m following this question right, but I donā€™t feel like thinking too hard about it.
What smartphone feature would you actually be excited for a company to implement? Iā€™m happy with the features that are widespread now, but I wish companies adhere more to countries other than the common ones like US, UK, Australia, etc. I always see ads about phones being able to tell you how much movie tickets cost or track boarding passes, but those are all irrelevant here. It makes a lot of Appleā€™s basic apps useless on this side of the world haha.
Whatā€™s something people donā€™t worry about but really should? Long-term effects of poor habits like not getting enough sleep or drinking too many cups of coffee. I know because Iā€™m guilty of this.
What movie quotes do you use on a regular basis? ā€œI wonā€™t think about that now, Iā€™ll think about it tomorrow,ā€ but I usually say it to myself, especially when I feel stressed.
Do you think that children born today will have better or worse lives than their parents? Better, but idk if thatā€™s just me being biased because my generation will be the next parents lol. I just think that a lot of Gen X parents still have a lot of dated prejudices and mindsets that my generation was able to learn better from. For example my mom doesnā€™t like using peopleā€™s preferred names, especially if theyā€™ve transitioned -_____- and I know Iā€™d never want to set such an example for my kids.
Whatā€™s the funniest joke you know by heart? I know Iā€™ve come across hilarious ones but I always fail to come up with one when asked on the spot.
When was the last time you felt you had a new lease on life? LOL RIGHT NOW
Whatā€™s the funniest actual name youā€™ve heard of someone having? Itā€™s more stupid than funny and I know Iā€™ve already mentioned this before, but Covid Bryant as a first and second name still takes the cake for me. My sister went to school with a girl whose name is just her surname backwards, and for a time I was really weirded out by it. But in the times Iā€™ve seen her she really owns her name and never looks bothered by it, so I quickly stopped caring.
Which charity or charitable cause is most deserving of money? For me it would have to be organizations for animal welfare.
What TV show character would it be the most fun to change places with for a week? Post-El Camino Jesse Pinkman. I wouldnā€™t want to live through his chaotic shitĀ  from Breaking Bad, but his fate after El Camino is something Iā€™m super envious of.
What was cool when you were young but isnā€™t cool now? Flip phones, Blackberry phones, Roshes, Frappuccinos.
If you were moving to another country, but could only pack one carry-on sized bag, what would you pack? Phone, laptop, their chargers, important IDs, some of my favorite tops and jeans, underwear, essential toiletries, wallet, a family photo, a journal and pen, earphones, certain knickknacks to remember Gab and my dogs by. Minus the clothes, all of these are pretty tiny so I think these would all fit in the bag just fine.
Whatā€™s the most ironic thing youā€™ve seen happen? I donā€™t know. Iā€™m not really a fan of rating the most/worst this and that stuff in my life, either. I feel like I unnecessarily rack my brain too hard for them when I take surveys to have a chill time.
If magic was real, what spell would you try to learn first? Probably something thatā€™d keep my dogs from dying.
If you were a ghost and could possess people, what would you make them do? No thanks. Iā€™d be the chillest ghost tbh, Iā€™d like to just sneak up on peopleā€™s business and hang out but never interfere in them.
What goal do you think humanity is not focused enough on achieving? Climate change, global warming, alleviation of poverty. Corporations and the few people who actually have the power and money to change things only ever come up with short-term shit like donations and never look at the big picture. What problem are you currently grappling with? So many personal ones. But just like the recurring theme of my surveys so far,Ā ā€œI donā€™t want to get into it.ā€
What character in a movie could have been great, but the actor they cast didnā€™t fit the role? As much as I love Kristen Stewart, I heard she was cast as Princess Diana for an upcoming film and Iā€™m not really feeling that decision. They couldā€™ve gone with a British actress for starters?????? The movie is still in production but it is prettyĀ annoying to think about lmao.
What game have you spent the most hours playing? Probably GTA: San Andreas as a kid.
Whatā€™s the most comfortable bed or chair youā€™ve ever been in? Luxury hotel beds are always so fluffy and comfortable.
Whatā€™s the craziest conversation youā€™ve overheard? Omg one time at a coffee shop Gabie and I sat beside this older couple that obviously was going through some heavy SHIT. There was a lot of animosity and tension between them and I caught the lady silently break into tears a few times. I never overheard anything but then again they sat in silence for hours until the lady finally walked out on him. Never knew what it was about but Iā€™ve always guessed that the man did something crappy, like cheat, and was discovered. It was a really sad sight and a crazy situation to witness and I think I felt even more sorry because they were obviously in their 50s or 60s. I hope the woman is in a better place now as she looked rough as fuck that evening.
Whatā€™s the hardest youā€™ve ever worked? I wore a lot of hats when I was in my college org, and that was on top of balancing my acads as well.
What movie, picture, or video always makes you laugh no matter how often you watch it? That scene from Friends where Ross plays the keyboard for Chandler, Phoebe, Monica, and Rachel.
What artist or band do you always recommend when someone asks for a music recommendation? It depends on what music theyā€™re into and if I have actually have a recommendation in mind for them. I obviously canā€™t suggest Paramore to someone who mainly listens to metal.
If you could have an all-expenses paid trip to see any famous world monument, which monument would you choose? Iā€™m down for any monuments that are super ancient like Stonehenge or the Pyramids of Giza.
If animals could talk, which animal would be the most annoying? Iā€™d go with frogs, but only because they get annoyingly loud in the evening.
Whatā€™s the most addicted to a game youā€™ve ever been? Playing The Sims, Mario Kart, Rock Band, or games in the Burnout franchise.
Whatā€™s the coldest youā€™ve ever been? Japan was so fucking cold when I was there. Didnā€™t do my research and ended up being dressed poorly, and I was so cold I could barely talk to my parents or fully enjoy my time. Sagada was also nearly unbearable in the early morning.
Which protagonist from a book or movie would make the worst roommate? Not from a book or movie, but BoJack Horseman. Diane can also be in the running as I always found her too whiny. I get that she had her personal shit to deal with, but I donā€™t think living with her would be good for my own sanity and mental health.
Do you eat food thatā€™s past its expiration date if it still smells and looks fine? It annoys my chef dad to death that I donā€™t lol. No matter how great it looks, Iā€™d bounce. I once ate expired Kit Kats that tasted like cardboard and that scared me off of expired food forever.
Whatā€™s the most ridiculous thing you have bought? I once bought a stupid novelty soap that to this day Iā€™ve never even opened. Itā€™s in one of my drawers, and I plan to just throw it out at some point.
Whatā€™s the funniest comedy skit youā€™ve seen? Not a fan of these but one that got to me is Dear Sister from SNL.
Whatā€™s the most depressing meal youā€™ve eaten? A few years ago there was a local breakfast place that offered red velvet pancakes for a limited time and I was all over that crap, so I went and ordered. The actual pancakes ended up notĀ being any bigger than my palm, and I remember not being able to hide my disappointment once the server placed the dish on my table haha. I felt so scammed. I had to order something else to feel full, because those pancakes were stupidly small.
What tips or tricks have you picked up from your job/jobs? One of my superiors, when she was presenting a pitch to our director yesterday, kept asking questions and picking at the directorā€™s brain so that she can get suggestions and answers straight from the director herself and so that she didnā€™t have to do any brainstorming anymore. I thought that was a pretty nifty and clever hack.
What outdoor activity havenā€™t you tried, but would like to? Hiking a mountain!
What songs hit you with a wave of nostalgia every time you hear them? Umbrella by Rihanna feat. Jay-Z.
Whatā€™s the worst backhanded compliment you could give someone? Idk, anything can be the worst depending on the context. Iā€™m not a fan of giving those, though.
Whatā€™s the most interesting documentary youā€™ve ever watched? Unsolved Mysteriesā€™ Dupont de LigonnĆØs episode was a lot of fun to watch.
What was the last song you sang along to? I think it was Thinking of You by Katy Perry? but Iā€™m not entirely sure. I havenā€™t sung along to anything in a while.
What app can you not believe someone hasnā€™t made yet? I donā€™t really download and use a lot of apps other than the basic ones, so I donā€™t care too much.
When was the last time you face palmed? Last night.
If you were given five million dollars to open a small museum, what kind of museum would you create? Iā€™d give it away to the Martial Law museum currently being made near my university so that it can do more to show the atrocities of the Marcoses. And so that I can piss off my pro-Marcos relatives.
Which of your vices or bad habits would be the hardest to give up? Uh hating myself, if that counts.
What really needs to be modernized? Public transportation systems in this country.

ironman!namjoon
Tumblr media
a/n wow ok so this is the start of my avengers!bts headcanons and yuh they all have set in stone story lines but im gonna shake it up a lil bit xD
word count: 2.3k
____________________
kim namjoon
you see
the kim namjoon is a smart kid
child genius if i say so myself
and boy he knew it
no eleven year old chooses to write a paper about hubbleā€™s law of cosmic expansion for a science project instead of making a trifold and using liquid cement
no, namjoon writes a 4-page paper in apa style with a magnificent abstract
he got an A on it of course
his brilliance only goes up from there
and with his rich parents, he has the opportunity-
to which yoongi and seokjin would say ā€œprivilegeā€
but letā€™s just say ā€œopportunityā€
to do incredible research and studies and experiments
his dad has a science lab built just for him in their house
by nineteen, namjoon has taken over a good percentage of his parentsā€™ business
kim enterprises
growing up, namjoon had an idea that his parentsā€™ business was pretty expansive and were involved in many areas
but it wasnā€™t until he was placed in board meetings at eighteen when he absorbed how powerful his family really was
and sure the business aspect of him was aight, but he loved his lab and would rather leave the negotiating to his mom and dad
you grew up with namjoon, you were also from a wealthy family
your fathers were childhood friends and they grew their businesses together
although kim enterprises surpassed your familyā€™s wealth easily, the bond between your families were still tight
namjoon was stubborn and a smartass
but he wasnā€™t a jerk, just...very selective with his true self
heā€™s also a bit spoiled, but with his parents who gave into his every wish, it just turned out that way
at 21, namjoonā€™s parents got into a plane crash on the way to a meeting in london and it unfortunately claimed their lives
namjoon became the sole CEO and heir of kim enterprises
he asked you for help because damn he couldnā€™t run a whole business by himself??
and you werenā€™t needed yet to run your own family business
so you didnā€™t mind helping out your friend
things were running okay with little kinks in the road, but the business was still thriving and so namjoon was okay with that
until one day when you and namjoon were hanging out in his family mansion and it was broken into
in a crazy haze, you were captured and abducted
namjoon knew they were after him and not you and for the first time in his life:
he had absolutely no idea what to do
he had to find you of course but he didnā€™t know where to start
namjoon couldnā€™t tell your parents because they would absolutely kill him for not protecting you
and honestly he wanted to beat himself up too for that fact
thanks to his brilliant mind, he managed to track wherever the fuck you were being held captive
he took his private jet out to a nearby place and did the rest by foot
this was basically a suicide mission and he knew it, but to hell with it
namjoon would exchange his life for yours, youā€™ve been with him since birth
back to you
you were being held in a cell
your captors needed namjoon to build something for them, but since you werenā€™t him, you were useless to them
you thought they were going to kill you
but instead they just locked you up
you didnā€™t expect to see namjoon being pushed into your cell with you
ā€œjoon what the fuck are you doing here?ā€
ā€œI uh...I found you.ā€
you thought he would have told your dad and then like officers would come and find you
not namjoon, alone.
ā€œdid you expect to just walk in and sweet talk them into letting me go?ā€
he scratched the back of his neck
ā€œfor a genius, youā€™re fucking stupid.ā€
ā€œokay, truthfully, i thought I could turn myself in and that would convince them to let you go, but i guess they just took both of us haha.ā€
for weeks you two were held prisoner, your captors taking namjoon in the morning and returning with him at night
you were just stuck in there
but whenever joon came back, he had a new injury to him
your heart hurt whenever you saw him come back, pain all over his face
you would do your best into aiding him, but you didnā€™t really have much options in the small cell
it was one night when he didnā€™t come back and your mind automatically assumed that he was dead
you started sobbing in the cell, god you were going crazy
you needed to get out of there
and then when you heard some whimpering and cries of pain, your drive only got bigger bc you knew it was namjoon
you started clanging on the cell and screaming for them to let you go
and then from the corner of your eye, you spotted joon crawling to you, all bloodied up
you gasped spotting the large wound on his chest
but before you could start losing your mind about your best friend was going to die, he calmly started instructing you to build a generator for him
you: joon! Iā€™m not as smart as you, this thing is going to fucking blow up
joon: y/n, calm down and listen to me. you can do this, i believe in you
also joon: connect that wire to the plug...black long thing to red square.
as the hours went on into the night, namjoon sounded weaker and weaker, making you urgent into finishing his little generator
you started holding his hand
ā€œjoon, itā€™s done, okay? itā€™s done.ā€
ā€œthis is going to hurt like a bitch, but put that generator in my wound. and shove my shirt in my mouth, shut me up with it or weā€™ll get caught.ā€
ā€œw-what?ā€
ā€œjust do it y/n!ā€
you shoved the triangle thing you made (with his help) into his chest and shut your eyes as you basically gagged joon quiet
within minutes he started to get better and you felt like a huge weight was lifted off your shoulders
the last thing you remember before crashing was joon sayingĀ ā€œthank you, y/n, now go rest.ā€
you were awaken by a huge bang
lo and behold, namjoonā€™s in a tin suit and he blasted your cell open
you could barely register namjoon breaking the roof of your cell and grasping you by the waist and flying you out of there
his tin suit failed him within minutes, the thrusters he built at his feet giving in
but the important thing was that you two made it out and crashlanded in a lake
the place where you were held captive burst into flames
you were founded by your fatherā€™s men
(he had some great influence in the army)
and fuck you and joon suffered from one hell of a ptsd
for a while, joon became distant
i mean, could you blame him? yā€™all got kidnapped and almost died
you tried to reach out but his house security kept denying you
cute side note: namjoonā€™s jarvis is called moni
ā€œgod dammit moni, i just wanna talk to himā€
ā€œmy apologies miss/sir y/n, master kim doesnā€™t want any visitors at the moment.ā€
:(
the next time joon talked to you was months after you two were found, he invited you over to his house and his security system led you straight to his lab
you walked in to see your best friend in a golden technological suit, the triangle generator you helped him make glowing on the torso of his suit
ā€œjoon, what the fuck are you doing?ā€
he sat you down and explained how after your whole kidnapping, he realized that he had a giftĀ 
and he could either be sitting around waiting to be kidnapped again for his mind to be used for the worst
or he could be doing something for the greater good
you honestly couldnā€™t follow, couldnā€™t he just use his wealth to donate to charities or something?
but no, he wanted to be proactive and idk be some kind of superhero
ā€œwhy are you telling me all this?ā€
ā€œwell, not only are you my best friend and we have suffered through hell together...if I happen to die out there, Iā€™m leaving you in charge of kim enterprises.ā€
ā€œhuh die out where? joon youā€™re not going back there.ā€
he then told you how he was forced to build weapons while you were kidnapped and how his parents dealt with underground business with terrible people and now itā€™s come to bite him and kim enterprises in the ass
ā€œiā€™m going back. If you want, you can stay here and monitor me. moni has complete access to my suit, it is my eyes and ears.ā€
ā€œgod, just...come back, donā€™t die on me, please.ā€
you end up watching him complete whatever mission he had for himself
but also how he got his ass beat
you almost missed a pair of boys save him from where he was
they were quick to the eye, dressed all in black, you just remember one with a bow and arrow
fast forward another couple months
joon was safe, thank god, and just doing insane upgrades on his suit and what not
you called him golden boy, but he said that name just didnā€™t suit him
you see that pun i put there ;)
the two of you were discussing the art exhibit he needed to attend when moni alerted him of visitors
surprise surprise it was the same two boys that you remember saving him, except they were dressed casually this time
ā€œyou must be y/n, namjoon hyungā€™s better half.ā€
namjoon glared at the boy,Ā ā€œshut up, jimin.ā€
the other one spoke,Ā ā€œwe need you both to come to headquarters.ā€
ā€œomg Iā€™m not being kidnapped again, am i?ā€
the three of them laughed
you were told that jimin and the other boy, taehyung, were agents under BTS, a protection initiative created by their boss, Mr. Bang
and now, namjoon was being recruited to be part of that initiative
BTS is a specialized sub-unit to the larger Avengers motion
it put your mind at ease knowing that namjoon wasnā€™t alone in his whole fighting crime and saving lives ordeal
the media deemed namjoonā€™s golden suit asĀ ā€œiron manā€
and although you personally liked yourĀ ā€œgolden boyā€ name better
joon had a complete liking to the other name
you witnessed when they recruited more agents to BTS
namjoon began to have a nice bond with the other boys
and it made you happy, of course, knowing that he had others by his side
but sometimes you couldnā€™t help but feel as if you were being replaced as his best friend
especially when he and the wakandan king, jung hoseok, became rather close
namjoon first realized his feelings for you when kim seokjin, aka the god of thunder, was flirting with you during one of joonā€™s house parties
he almost had a fist fight with him
but the other boys held them back from beating each other up
a supersuit vs a god with insane powers? that wasnā€™t going to end well at all
and so namjoon secretly pined for you
you were still doing business together, but it was mostly you because he was busy now with world saving duties
you were the one to convince him to recruit their youngest and final member to BTS
the spider kid, jeon jungkook
namjoon becomes jungkookā€™s mentor
and itā€™s quite endearing
but jkā€™s also the one to spill to you that namjoon has had the hugest crush on you for the longest time
kid just canā€™t keep his mouth shut sometimes
all the boys knew that namjoon was basically in love with you
they even helped him come up with this elaborate event of confessing to you
...which all went to hell bc yoongi got triggered and smashed everything
yoongi felt so bad afterwards
but all ended well bc of course you loved namjoon back
he was your best friend and your #1 since day 1
namjoon ends up revealing himself as iron man probably a year after the whole BTS unit was solidified
the press was hell for kim enterprises
which you had to mainly contain :/
but you know heā€™s a charmer in front of the camera
your parents were a bit iffy when they found out you were dating iron man
but if anyone could take care of you, they knew it would be namjoon
aw im emo
dating your best friend/business partner is a rollercoaster
youā€™ve had your fair share of heart attack moments, waiting for him after a battle or a mission
namjoon has put his life in danger and will continue to put his life in danger and youā€™re just going to have to deal with that
he hates that he also puts your life in danger just by association, but you have a lot of protection, courtesy of Mr. Bang
you wear his suit sometimes and try to fly it for fun
he finds you cute
builds you a suit, yourself, but you donā€™t wear it often
mostly bc you know thereā€™s some weapons included for safety and that scares you a bit
you end up merging businesses with kim enterprises
and run the whole rodeo bc heā€™s too busy saving the world
but you always keep him updated on whatā€™s happening
heā€™s become less arrogant after being with the boys and after dating you
but heā€™s still a smartass
uses kim enterprisesā€™ wealth and resources for the improvement of BTS
itā€™s pretty useful if you ask me
namjoon becomes the spokesperson for BTS ;)
he and his boys save the world on the regular
but he wouldnā€™t be saving the world if you didnā€™t save his world first
u fucking wu
that last part was cheesy but am i sorry about it?
nah

Stupid Spider-Man and Stupid Soulmates (AU)
Peter Parker x Reader
Word count: 1,697
Key: (Y/N) = Your Name
Warnings: Small amount of violence, and mild language, and some fluff at the end
Summary: You're an anti-hero named Nano. Robs banks but not for own use but to help out your parentā€™s bills and those who struggle financially, and donate money. You are soulmates with Peter and you canā€™t physically hurt one another.Ā 
By: Admin Haru Ā 
Tumblr media
With a few simple clicks on a screen on your inner-wrist, you intercept the security cameras, playing a loop of 30 seconds when you arenā€™t in frame. You canā€™t let them know when you enter. You hurriedly enter the bank, your footsteps barely making any noise. With your mask secured on your face and your stun gun in hand, your voice booms in the relatively quiet bank. ā€œEveryone, hands behind your head! Now! You! Open the door and put the money in the bag,ā€ Panic strikes through the bystandersā€™ faces, not hesitating to follow your orders and ducks down with their hands on their head. You head over to the door that leads to the back and tap your foot as you wait for the door to open. You hear a faint click and the creaking of the metal hinges as the small man swings open the door for you to follow.
ā€œIā€™m not doing it. Iā€™m not putting the money in the bag and I donā€™t care if I end up hurt.ā€ He doesnā€™t dare to meet your eye.
You pull the trigger, loud cracking and bright sparks emit from your stun gun,ā€œJust please put the money in the bag. I really donā€™t enjoy hurting people.ā€
The employee flinches putting the stacks of cash in the gym back quickly, his hands and voice tremble. Once he finishes, you sigh, zipping the overflowing bag full. With a grunt, you heave the heavy bag onto your shoulder signaling the man to join the rest.
A light thud catches your interest, whirling around to see what the source was. But you knew what--- or rather who--- had caused the noise. ā€œYou know McDonald's is always hiring people.ā€
ā€œI already work there, pay isnā€™t too great,ā€ The sarcasm dripping from your voice, your remark leaving a mock look of hurt on Spider-Manā€™s face and a hand placed over his heart. With a groan you toss the bag to the side, charging up your stun gun. ā€œYou canā€™t be a bit more lenient on me Spider-Boy? I mean itā€™s the second time this month you stop one of my robberies,ā€ You roll your shoulders, leaning your head side to side to crack it.
Spider-Man crouches slightly, awaiting your next move, ā€œAinā€™t no rest for the wicked.ā€
ā€œDid you just quote a Cage the Elephant song?ā€
Spider-Man used your distraction to his advantage, quickly shooting a web to pull the bag towards him. With a growl you aim to punch his nose but of course your hand stops a few centimeters from his face. Stupid Spider-Man being your stupid soulmate and not being allow to hurt him. Thing about soulmates is that you canā€™t physically hurt them, and with your luck, yours just so happens to be Spider-Man. Spider-Manā€™s quick reflexes lead to you being stuck to the wall, striking your pride. Spider-Man turns his back to check on the bystanders, making sure none of them are hurt physically. Big mistake. After your last encounter with Spider-Man, you had created a solution that would help in situations like this. You had never tested it before but no other time like the present. With a press of a button, the webs melt away rapidly as if they werenā€™t even there to begin with.
With a few quiet strides, you quickly snatch the gym bag. Your piercing whistle gains everyoneā€™s attention, but you look straight at Spider-Man sending him a cheeky wink before breaking out of a window and grappling up to a rooftop nearby. A piercing pain in your ankle hinders you only for a second before you start to bound from rooftop to rooftop. You stop when youā€™re completely sure he hasnā€™t followed you. Dropping the bag, and sitting on the ledge admiring the nighttime view. Honking in the distance fills the silence, New York isnā€™t ever truly quiet.
Peter was fully engrossed in a comic book, barely paying attention. Only adding a slight nod every once in awhile. With a slap to his chest, courtesy of Ned, he finally looks at him for the first time in 7 minutes. ā€œDude, is (Y/N) alright? They arenā€™t looking too good right now.ā€ He quickly spots you heading over to his locker, eyes locking onto your face that he admires way too often to be considered a friendly manner. But soon his brows start furrowing at the sight of the limp in your steps. Ned nudges Peter, lifting his brows and smiling widely at Peterā€™s stare. Heat rushing fast to Peterā€™s face as he barely manages to say good morning to you. You smile brightly at the pair, expertly opening your locker situated right next to Peterā€™s. ā€œAre you alright? Youā€™re walking a bit funny,ā€ Peter shuts his locker with a bang, leaning on it to get a better view of you.
When you were landing on the rooftop your ankle didnā€™t agree with you, most likely twisted it. But the pain wasnā€™t the worst youā€™ve endured. A loud snort was heard behind Peter--- Ned.
ā€œFirst off: Ned, thatā€™s disgusting. Second of all, I stubbed my toe really hard against a table this morning.ā€ The lie had slipped off easily but the excuse itself was poor, it was the only thing you could think of on the spot. Peter was skeptical but he let it slide nonetheless. ā€œLetā€™s just head to class, I canā€™t be late to Mrs. Davisā€™ class again,ā€ you slammed your locker shut walking ahead of Ned and Peter, leaving them to trail behind you.
You sat in your seat just as the bell began to ring, ā€œCutting it close I see, try being punctual next time.ā€ Mrs. Davisā€™ shrill voice rings out, her irritation directed at you. You stay silent because if you didnā€™t, youā€™d eventually end up in detention. Questions about limited reactants went through one ear and out the other, Chemistry wasnā€™t your strongsuit exactly. The rest of classes were painstakingly long, minutes seemed to be hours long and when the last bell rang you couldnā€™t be out of your seat any faster.
ā€œThank you Aunt May for the blueberry scones, but Pete and I gotta start studying for chemistry,ā€ you shut the door to Peterā€™s bedroom with your foot tossing your book bag somewhere on his floor before falling on his bed face first.
Peter looks up from his textbook, ā€œWe should really start to study, this test is important and youā€™re failing in Chemistry.ā€
ā€œLook Parker, donā€™t start to lecture me, just because that skeleton canā€™t teach doesnā€™t mean I donā€™t know how to find the excess in an equation.ā€ You grunt, pushing yourself to sit on his bed cross-legged. ā€œPass me my book.ā€ making grabby hands at you bag.
Peter raises a brow at you, ā€œSeriously? Youā€™re like 5 feet away from it, get it yourself.ā€ You immediately start to pout, pleading with your eyes. After a few seconds of glaring, Peter starts to get up mumbling about something on how youā€™re always unfair. The puppy dog eyes always work, always.
It was only a few minutes into but you already gave up on the idea of studying, and started scrolling through the news on Snapchat. You were probably gonna cram a few hours before the test like usual. Your finger pauses when you see an article about yourself, titled ā€˜Friend or Foe? Nano yet again robs another bank, but donates it to charity.ā€™ Seriously? Thatā€™s the stupidest name to give, nanotech and engineering are completely different. ā€œYou know what? Why is Nanoā€™s name Nano? THATā€™S NOT EVEN THE RIGHT BRANCH OF TECHNOLOGY!ā€
ā€œWhy are you so obsessed with them again?ā€ Peter asks without his eyes ever leaving the pages.
With a loud sigh, your head falls to rest on top of the thick textbook. A few minutes of silence pass and youā€™re so close to falling asleep but suddenly you feel a finger start to prod at your face, going for your ears, cheeks, and tugging at your hair. ā€œParker you better cut this shit out Iā€™m not dealing with your crap right now.ā€ You wave your hand around trying to stop Peter but it only gets worse. Eventually you lift your head up to connect your fist to Peterā€™s arm but nothing happens. I thought Spider-Man is my soulmate? Oh crap. You thought but it hit you. Spider-Man is your soulmate but you never knew who it was behind that mask, meaning easily it could be anyone. And that anyone is Peter Parker.
Peter stares at your hand, centimeters away from his arm. ā€œAreā€¦ are you Nano?ā€
ā€œOops?ā€ You offer a slight shrug. You made sure to be extra careful around Ned and Peter. But I guess it backfired when Peter is Spider-Man and your soulmate.
Peterā€™s voice is incredibly quiet, ā€œWhy do you do it?ā€
ā€œYou know how my parents havenā€™t been doing so good, and they are struggling for money to pay the bills. The rest that I donā€™t keep I donate it to charity.ā€ You clear your throat, sitting up straight. ā€œItā€™s really hard right now Pete, they really need it, plus college is so expensive. I mean, I was considering to get hit by a car for college tuition.ā€ You offer a n empty chuckle to lighten the mood. ā€œSoā€¦ Youā€™re my soulmate. Wanna go on a date?ā€ Your voice reduces to a mumble at your question. Youā€™ve liked Peter for so long but you always saw him admiring Liz. And you thought as long as he was happy, you would be too. (Idk if I should keep the part about the reader liking Peter beforehand so lmk if i should keep)
Peter blushes a bright red, ā€œOnly if you stop the whole Nano thing. I canā€™t always keep you outta trouble.ā€ Heā€™s awkwardly scratching the back of his neck, the idea of dating you was a fantasy of his for so long. He had never thought it would be real.
The thought of an awkward Peter taking you on a date, nervously trying to make conversation was so adorable. Your laugh this time is genuine, your face donning a playful smile, ā€œIā€™ll think about it Parker.ā€

i know this isnt my comics blog but 1) im too lazy to log into it and 2) this is my blog and also cantwell's iron man has pissed me off so much i just NEED to go on a rant about it
1) tony investing his """severance""" fund into the stock market cantwell are you fucking kidding. tony has a track record of donating stupid amount of money into any charitable thing he could see. his literal second appearance has him donating like. $800k to build a new hospital wing. his date teased him because he wanted to see the orphans at the hospital and idk make balloons for them or something. if anything he would've just told b.o.s.s to distribute the money evenly between highly-rated charities.
2) REDHEADS ARE NOT INTERCHANGABLE. PATSY =/= PEPPER =/= MARY JANE PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. also stop making them into his "mom"!!! he is entirely capable of taking care of his basic needs (now throwing himself into danger is another thing but that's not what im talking about) and yes i do blame the mcu for making people think he's an incapable man child
3) if he mentions his fucking ego one more time i'm gonna so ballistic OH MY GOD. this is the same guy who HATED seeing his own reflection in the mirror and whose entire early comics career was just him being "wow i am a piece of shit. i know i wasn't directly responsible for that bad thing happening and there was nothing i could have done to stop it, but i still didn't stop it so i fucking suck. i literally do not care if i die as long as i die helping others. i will refuse to tell people i'm iron man because i don't want to put others in danger and because i'm not doing this for the attention."
3) patsy telling tony "you don't know how it's like to constantly hear dark things in your own head"? ???? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ????? my man was diagnosed with manic depression and also read the point above
4) if he even BREATHES in the direction of a "tony relapses" plot given the "hints" he dropped last issue, i-- i-- AGH don't do it i don't trust cantwell to do this tastefully. i swear to god if i have to read "demon in a bottle 2: electric boogaloo" i'm gonna write a strongly-worded letter to him.
5) the fact that patsy keeps telling tony about his privilege like.... tony.... isn't...... already.... aware of this fact........ and his entire character.............. revolves............. around.......................... helping people.......... with his............ privilege........ because he's a HERO WOW NOVEL CONCEPT AM I RIGHT.
6) HOW do you manage to read "classic" iron man comics and come out making the most dudebro-y iterations of tony i have ever had the displeasure to read. "classic" iron man was all about him being *GASP* a good person, being emotionally vulnerable, sometimes being the one who needs saving (usually by rhodey, his knight in shining armor <3)
7) i will never get pre-mcu tony back :( :( :( :( :(
8) here are my favorite "classic" tony panels just because lol
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
also read iron man v. 3 #50 and iron man v. 4 #14 and iron man v. 1 #182 for Prime Feels.
ALSO HAVE MY FAVORITE TONY QUOTES
ā€œYou donā€™t always have to fight villains to save lives. Thatā€™s why I started the Maria Stark Foundation in memory of my mother. It may not be the branch of my company that gets the most public attention, but in my opinion, itā€™s where we do the most good.ā€
ā€œOur Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be doneā€¦ā€ (ok i realize this one might be weird to people who aren't as familiar with tony, but this basically was during the civil war; tony is known for being an atheist + right before this he poured an entire bottle of whiskey down the drain and it just hurts ok it hurts me physically and yes i do have a headcanon about how maria was catholic so tony prays when he feels like he needs comfort because it reminds him of his mother but you did not ask for that!!!)
ā€œAre you suggesting that Iā€™m hallucinating?ā€ (context: right after the civil war and steve's death, tony started having guilt-induced hallucinations regarding steve and others whose lives he couldn't save. he also started locking himself in his suit for days and blah blah punches a window and makes himself bleed and blah blah holy fuck this is depressing)
ā€œSound cliche, but Iā€“I guess I always thought weā€™d grow old together. I figured, one day Iā€™d hang up the armor, weā€™d change our names and run off somewhere. Weā€™d just run off and be happy. It was a good dream, but it was a dream I had no business dreaming.ā€ (i will never forgive marvel for killing rumiko i hope she haunts them forever. even busiek didn't like it.)
ā€œAnd I swear, as the man, Tony Starkā€“As the Avenger fate chose to cast in the role of Iron Manā€“That I will live to avenge those whose lives have been lost through the ignorance of men like the man I once wasā€“Or I will die trying!ā€
ā€œDid you do your best, Anthony? And did your best only make things worse?ā€ (hickman i have no idea what he hell you're doing with the x-men but i respected your tony so hard. come back.)

OH BOY OH HOWDY
Did I fuck up by calling japanese fake chinese? Absolutely! I am willing to admit that I do not listen to the languages enough to tell them apart from ear alone. I cannot tell that it was japanese, and I did not notice that he was using a translator until it was pointed out to me. I also shouldā€™ve corrected my error with an edit as soon as I got that correction, instead of with a reblog which would either way get drowned out. It was absolutely pretty racist of me to just assume that he was talking in chinese gibberish just because I couldnā€™t tell them apart.
However, you guys need to chill the hell out. My dumbass mistake wasnā€™t out of desire to straight up slander the man. I do not like him, but not enough to walk around saying every bad thing I can think of to make sure heā€™s hated by the news or something. I wanted to drop a sypnosis on what the joke mightā€™ve been, so people could work off of that instead of throwing around ā€œoh I bet you didnā€™t even watch it!ā€. It ended up biased and, yā€™know, it held incorrect info. The people saying ā€œlmao fake chinese this chick is so whiteā€ are taking it better than you, @eroguru. Thank you for going in more detail about what was that he said, but calm down, I was not straight up slandering pewds.
As for you, @the-defiant-pupil, your points are absolutely irrelevant. Iā€™m sorry, but the fact that he loves Japan and visits often to see japanese friends doesnā€™t mean that he canā€™t be racist towards them. Heck, I just proved it right up there! I can be racist! You can be racist! We can all be racist against another race, even our own, no matter how much we love and care for the culture. My own mother loves the country and people she grew up with, itā€™s her home, and Iā€™ve heard her call the natives that died off long ago lazy bastards who couldnā€™t handle the whiteā€™s abuse because they never learned how to work. Thatā€™s fucked up of her.
This is whatā€™s worrying about pewds, man. Iā€™m not gonna sit here and call him a racist mother fucker here. I personally donā€™t think that the joke was made directly against chinese people, he made a joke about the paranoia of the virus (how that was handled idk). I am 100% willing to recognize that heā€™s a sweet friend and a loving husband and what not. What I am also willing to say out loud, now that I fell into this pit, is that heā€™s an absolute idiot. A moron. His offensive or borderline offensive humor was what got him the attention of his edgy 12 year old fanbase, and by god he doesnā€™t want to let go of that. Almost no big lets player wants to do that. So he continues with the offensive jokes. Alright. However, his fanbase grows up, while more preteens join the other way. They might find his jokes immature now, and leave. They might find them fine, might not care either way, maybe stay, maybe go. And some of them grow up to not be good people. And they end up joining other not so good people who see pewdā€™s ā€œkill all jewsā€ jokes and what not and either take it seriously, or see it as an opportunity.
Pewdā€™s is not being perceptive on who these kinds of people attract. He sees nothing wrong with chilling near people who proudly call themselves white supremacists, or neo nazis, or just plain racist, and at this point it has kinda made him an accomplice, not necessarily by choice though. Neo Nazis can absolutely take his videos, and use it to recruit more of them, feeding kids who are still growing and trying to find their identity stuff like ā€œlook kids! Death of jews is funny!ā€ Whether Pewds wanted for it to be used like that or not. The more he repeats his stupid jokes, the more fuel he gives to awful people to grab a better hold of unmatended children. He caved in and didnā€™t donate to that jewish charity, not because he might not like them or never intended to, but because his fanbase bitched and moan and threatened to leave somewhere else. He doesnā€™t want to lose those views, thatā€™s his motivation. For the white supremacists and the kids theyā€™re practically raising into their ideology? Itā€™s a win for them, the jewish are not that important. Pewds is ignorant at best, and ignorance still breeds bigotry if it goes unchecked.

1031.
5k Survey LXXV
3826. Why do most people associate being spiritual or connected to the world as being a hippy? >> Okay, so the first 25 questions in this section were all specifically about LOTR The Two Towers, for some reason? Iā€™m not interested so I just skipped them entirely and am smushing the remaining 25 questions in this part into the other 50. Whatever. Anyway, because thatā€™s the stereotype theyā€™ve internalised, idk. Looking down on non-materialistic worldviews is a common modern pastime in the Western world, just in general. (Not that being a hippie is inherently a negative or stupid thing to be, but thatā€™s definitely the sort of context this stereotype is going for.)
3827. Why is passion and honest emotion equated with hallmark cards? >> I feel like my answer to this would just be similar to my answer to the previous question. These ideas donā€™t necessarily have the same root, but theyā€™re definitely related. 3828. What words set off alarms in your brain (for me it's anarchy, pagan, etc)? >> *blinks* Certainly not those words. Usually itā€™s words like, idk, ā€œAmerican valuesā€ and ā€œlizard peopleā€... 3829. Are you dancin in the dark? >> No. 3830. Name 2 things you have never done in public: >> Iā€™ve never done the Charleston or the Riverdance in public.
3831. If you had to choose out of what you just named, which one WOULD you do in public? >> I donā€™t even know how to do those dances, which is part of the reason why Iā€™ve never done them in public. 3832. Challenge yourself. Do whatever it is in public.Ā Why not?Ā What are you so terrified of? >> ... 3832. Is hell REALLY other people? >> The actual context of that quote is so much more interesting than seeing people using it as some kind of antisocial mantra. 3833. Or would it be more hellish to live totally without other people? >> Weā€™re all aware that humans are social creatures, correct? Just making sure. 3834. Leggos or linkin logs? >> I had Lincoln Logs as a kid but not LEGO. 3835. What books have you read more than once? >> Iā€™ve read The Fountainhead three times. 3836. Do you get different things out of reading a book a second time a year or more after reading it the first time?Ā Is it because you are a different person after time passes? >> Yeah, I do, and yes, thatā€™s why -- but first I have to convince myself to read a book more than once. My to-read list is so long all the time and then I learn about yet another interesting-sounding book and jump on that and the cycle never ends... it feels like a waste of time to go back and read books Iā€™ve already read. Even though I know thatā€™s not a logical way to think at all. 3837. The person who goes to ____ is not the same person who comes back. Fill in the blank with anything you think fits. >> Whatever. 3838. Quick! Empty your brain here! >> ... 3839. What's the best movie soundtrack? >> Iā€™m partial to Clint Mansell soundtracks, personally. 3840. Tissues with or without aloe? >> I rarely even use tissues, but when I do, Iā€™m not terribly precious about what kind they are. I just use whatever Sparrow bought. 3841. Are you on any medication? >> No. 3842. Does any part of your own body disgust you?Ā If yes, isn't that odd? What could have caused that feeling of disgust with your own body? >> Having a body disgusts me, overall. Yeah, Iā€™m not fond of the relationship I have with my body either, but itā€™d be one hell of an uphill battle to reprogram my brain to not think Iā€™m gross. Iā€™m doing my best, all right. 3843. Want some popcorn? >> No. 3844. What if Atlas shrugged? >> I imagine heā€™d do it in far less time than it takes to read that book. 3845. Who has led the most interesting life? >> ... 3846.

If someone is half man and half dog is he his own best friend? >> --- 3848. Paper or plastic? >> I usually get plastic bags. 3849.

3852. If there were no laws and no rules name 3 things you would do that you don't/wouldn't/can't do now? >> --- 3853. It's a costume party. What will your costume be if the theme is: the 70's? 80's? under the sea? 3854.

Iā€™m sure we would have rather have gone with someone who wasnā€™t any flavour of Christian, but going through the French Quarter Wedding Chapel kind of was a path of least resistance. Itā€™s hard to plan a wedding from a completely different part of the country than the place itā€™s being held, and the Chapel did a lot of the legwork for us. 3858. Do you think that it's okay for people to write their own wedding vows? >> What on earth would possess me to think otherwise? 3859. Rank these as places to be married. 1 = best.

Rank the following dead people in order of who you would like to spend the day with. 1 = you'd like to hang out with them the most. Joan of Arc Groucho Marx John Lennon Joey Ramone Anton Levay Tupac Jack Kerouac Aaliyah John F Kennedy Lucielle Ball Jim Morrison 3862. If you could grant immortality to one person you know (can't be yourself) who would you give it to? >> I donā€™t want to grant immortality to anyone. 3863. If you could grant immortality to one person who you do not know personally but know of (writer, politician, etc) who would you give it to? >> --- 3864. Name a person you love: Name a person you admire: Name a friend: Name a relative: If you had to condemn one of them to death to save the lives of the others who would it be and why? >> Just... not even going to touch this one. 3865. Would you rather be one of Santa's elves or a dentist? >> What... 3866. When you first meet people what do you talk to them about? >> Thereā€™s no one specific thing that I talk to people about... itā€™s obviously dependent on many factors (at least one of them having nothing to do with me). 3867.

In a world where: He was: She was: Together, they were: Why do so many movie trailers start off by saying 'In a world..'? >> I had a feeling this was about movie trailers, lol.

Make up a superhero with really unhelpful powers: >> --- 3870. A couple of days ago this guy won 14 million dollars and tried to donate 1 million to the salvation army. The salvation army turned the money down saying they didn't want dirty gambling money. Did they do the right thing? >> They did what was right from their point of view, which is a dogmatic conservative-Christian POV. 3871. If you had a spare million for charity work who would you donate it to? >> --- 3872. What's the craziest most shocking moment of rock and roll history that you can think of? >> --- 3873. Why is it that if a man kills another man in battle it's called heroic, but if he kills a man in the heat of passion, it's called murder? >> Perspective. 3874. What kind of punishment do you feel the following crimes deserve: premeditated murder? date rape? drug sales? drug use? burglery? 3875. If you could kiss anyone in the world on midnight at new year's eve, who would be the lucky one? >> ... 3876. You have just taken two sexy people prisoner because they found your hide out and you think they are spies. What do youd do: kill them, hump them or have crumpets and tea? >> What the fuck. 3877. What is your new year's resolution? >> --- 3878. Should the U.S. focus more on the threat from N. Korea or Iraq? >> --- 3879. Would you ever have plastic surgery? >> I donā€™t know, maybe. Mostly I just canā€™t afford shit like that, so the answerā€™sĀ ā€œnoā€ by virtue of that alone. 3880. How can George Bush be considered a Christian when he a war-monger and the ten comandments say do not kill? >> Oh, you know. 3881. What is the most interesting premise for a reality tv show that you can think of? >> --- 3882. Who is the Hollywood Star next to die of a drug overdose? >> --- 3883. Do you find yourself caring a lot about online people, even if you haven't met or spoken to them off of the computer? >> Not... like, as a rule... 3884. When you hear the song puff the magic dragon what do you think? >> Weed, I guess. I donā€™t have any other associations with that song. 3885. Let's give you a tarot reading. Go on, ask any question: first card: the reversed high preistess. you may be expecting things to come too easily. You should be careful not to give up if they dont go your way. You're feeling a desire to escape, to withdraw into yourself. Shrug off your current lack of focus and work diligently to acheive the goals you want. second card: the reversed hanged man. You shouldnt be close-minded with your situation. There are many alternatives and possible solutions to your problems. Try something new. The last card: Justice. what goes around comes around. Seek advice on the matters at hand from elders. Do healthy things, spiritually and physically. 3886. What does 'boo' mean and how did it become a slang word of affection? >> www.dictionary.com 3887. How often do you stretch? >> Whenever I feel like it. I donā€™t schedule it or anything. 3888. Have you ever wished that you didn't have to be yourself? >> Yep. 3889. Would you rather wear shoes full of earthworms or a hat full of spiders? >> --- 3890.

I said, 'Play me the best song in the world.' You put on: >> --- 3892. What happened last year that you would like to forget? >> --- 3893. What are you not able to do alone? >> Operate a seesaw. 3894. Do you feel more connected to earth air fire or water and why? >> Air, because I have a lot of it in my birth chart, I guess. Also, I just like space. (Both in the sense ofĀ ā€œhaving physical space around meā€ andĀ ā€œouter space where all the stars and shit areā€, although the latter isnā€™t air per se.) 3895. Which two words belong together and why: life, seawater, chocolate, blood, hair piece >> Depends on what youā€™re trying to reference, I guess.

wow hey okay iā€™m here now i guess
itā€™s nice to meet you all! (unless I know you already which... shhh donā€™t worry about it) Iā€™m the mun behind Joker here, who is... an interesting collection of traits but hopefully he comes together cohesively weeps. thank you everyone whoā€™s welcomed me so far; Iā€™ll get to responding to you soon! hopefully we can all plot together and have a good time owo
under the cut here is a long ramble of things about Joker that might or might not be useful for you to get to know him better. a lot about his past. idk man Iā€™m the rambliest of souls I donā€™t even know how long this initiation solo is going to beeee
NO RELATION TO THE DC VILLAIN. Best if we get that out of the way straight away. (Joker is loosely inspired by the protagonist of Persona 5, though. Loosely.)
Formerly known as Go Ryeontae: cafe owner, (illegal) card dealer, and career thief.
He inherited the cafe from his mom, a little local family-owned place called Sorisso in Incheon with a modest customer base and a good reputation for giving out free meals when the need arose and generally having a warm, home-grown, sort-of-quirky kind of atmosphere. How nice, right? Except the whole thing where Ryeontae is a criminal but weā€™ll get there.
Dealing at an illegal gambling ring was originally just something he picked up doing to pay the bills, but it became a nice path to seedier connections and generally, Ryeontae was good at it. Heā€™s well-mannered and charming and good at small talk -- he might even have a silver tongue -- and skilled/shrewd enough to ensure that hands wentĀ ā€œfairlyā€.
Now the thievery -- that was his downfall, though it was also his life, in a sense. He fashioned himself as a thief with honor, a bit of a Robin Hood type -- always targeting people who had money and then being generous with what heā€™d stolen, making semi-anonymous donations to charities and that kind of thing. Though saying it was aboutĀ ā€œjusticeā€ was a pretty ruse he tricked himself into, in a sense, because really, Joker got high on the sense of power and freedom that getting away with his crimes gave him. This was the culmination of his childhood as a delinquent whoā€™d realized playing the system was more effective than fighting it head-on.
Naturally, heā€™d eventually get caught -- or more accurately, sold out by an accomplice, though Joker doesnā€™t know that. It definitely did not help that Joker had targeted members of the Collective for his theft -- both in the physical and digital realms -- so he had enemies there, who were happy to identify him and see him punished. Putting him in BLCKTMPL was probably easier (and more fun) than putting him on trial with scarce evidence, so thatā€™s what happened.
With his reputation, Joker is a somewhat polarizing candidate -- some people are just waiting for him to fail spectacularly as a form ofĀ ā€œdivineā€ retribution, while others have fallen in love with his cool and cavalier attitude. Heā€™s now been in the game for almostĀ three years -- though heā€™s older than a lot of the other players at 27.
He has a love-hate relationship with the game, to be sure; on one hand, he hates being confined and he hates that heā€™s lost everything, but a part of him thrives on the adrenaline and the fact that he gets to show off for an audience. (He can be really flashy sometimes.)
He chose Isabelline because while he believes in justice, he believes not in aĀ ā€œlawfulā€ justice but in aĀ ā€œfairā€ justice, and felt that he would be out of place among others whoā€™d chosenĀ ā€œjusticeā€. (Aka, his justice is selfish, and heā€™s a prideful little fuck.) His noble persona might be a facade to some extent but itā€™s what keeps him alive and going most times -- maybe he wanted it to become more genuine, too, when he picked the white door, though thereā€™s a lot of corruption buried in his system at this point.
So yeah. Jokerā€™s a bit of a mess but heā€™s a charming mess? Kind of? He doesnā€™t talk much about himself but heā€™s still a great conversationalist and a good listener. Heā€™s a natural leader but he takes a back seat when necessary, because while heā€™s very assertive, he also doesnā€™t always have it in him to directly fight people over things, and he knows when itā€™s best to just lay low. He wants people to rely on him but has a hard time relying on people even though he really needs to sometimes? He can really be stubborn and reckless and short-sighted in general but he does it with such a cool and confident demeanor that it can be hard to tell that heā€™s being stupid. He might or might not get high on taking risks.
Also, some fun facts: he always smells like coffee, he lowkey steals things from people he likes (to remember them by), he always carries around playing cards (but you shouldnā€™t play with him), and he spends most of his time hanging out in local cafes around Seoul.
This is a lot of text but hopefully you have an idea of what to expect from Joker now! Feel free to drop into my inbox or wait for me to respond to your welcome or like this post and we can get plotting~ I definitely am going to want an event thread right away if possible, so yes!
hereā€™s a gif that made me smile and is also probably accurate joker

Survey #408
ā€œtied to the rat raceĀ  /Ā  a big bird in a small cageā€
Who, whether a person or company, emails you the most? I really don't check my email enough to even know. If you were given an assignment to draw anything besides stick figures or just doodles, what would you draw? A meerkat of course, ha ha. Do you play the games on MySpace/Facebook? I never did. Well no, I did play "Dragons of Atlantis" when Facebook bought it or whatever, but now that it's a mobile game, I don't play anything on there. When was the last time you were sunburnt? Ha, actually now. It's from riding an hour to and an hour back from the TMS office every weekday; the sun coming in through the window got my arm. Who all do you live with? My mom and my two pets. Has a guy ever let you wear his jacket? Yeah. It was so comforting when Jason gave me his leather jacket to wear if I was cold; it was pretty big on me at that time and just really cozy. Thanks survey, now I feel like crying. :^) How many friends do you have of the opposite sex? Like, one. Do you have bird feeders hanging up outside? What about any hanging plants? No. Does your house have sliding glass doors? No. Was the last food item you ate part of a meal or a snack? A snack. What color is your hair brush? I don't use a brush, but a white comb. Would you rather it be sunny or rainy? I think I prefer sunny for the sake of helping keep my depression at bay, but sometimes I really do enjoy some nice steady rainfall at the window. Whoā€™s the last person that you hugged, not family? I have no idea. What will your next piercing be? Probably getting my nostril re-pierced. How many people have you kissed, that you can HONESTLY say you loved? Two. Can you recall the last time you liked someone a lot? uhhhhhhhhhh now Whatā€™s scarier: spiders or worms? Worms gross me out, but a spider is more likely to actually scare me, but at the same time fascinate me. Do you play poker for real money? No. If you were pregnant, how long would you wait to tell the dad? I'd tell him immediately. Would you ever date out of your own race? I have in the past, and I would again. Do you still watch movies intended for children? Yeah. Hell, more than half the time they're better than "grown up" movies. Whatā€™s your favorite movie trilogy? Uhhhh does TLK count? ha ha What would you like to take lessons in? German. Whose Facebook password do you have? Just my own. Have you ever been suspended or expelled from school? No. Have you ever crawled through a window? Yes. Are you too forgiving? Yuuuup. Ever have a sleepover with the opposite sex? Well, we were dating. Have you ever gotten someone suspended? No. Have you ever wanted to be a teacher? No. Would you live with someone without marrying them? Yes; I believe you really probably should before getting married so you see if you "fit" as far as household habits and such go. Have you ever wanted to strip naked in front of someone? Yeah no. I'd feel way too awkward. What are you listening to? A John Wolfe video. Who was the last person you visited in the hospital? My mom. Did anyone watch you the last time you kissed someone? I mean possibly, it was a public place, and some people are definitely caught off-guard by seeing two girls kiss. Do either of your parents have any tattoos or piercings? No. Mom wants a tattoo, though, dedicated to all of us kids and her grandkids. Are you desperate for anyoneā€™s approval, in particular? -_- Would you ever stalk a celebrity? Um, no???? You don't stalk ANYBODY. It's a violation of space, privacy, basic respect... Do you have any National Geographic magazines lying around? No. Have you ever been mistaken for the opposite gender? No. Do you use liquid foundation, mousse, or just powder? None. Have you ever picked out a song to listen to on a juke box? Maybe? I don't remember. Have you ever eaten 3 meals from 3 different fast food places in one day? Oh god, I hope not. I don't remember ever having done that. Have you ever ridden in a limo? No. I always wanted to as a kid. Have you ever tried to put a huge puzzle together? Yeah, I have. I used to like to do that with my mom especially. Ever wake up early on Saturdays to go garage sale shopping? Yes, actually. My family used to love to do that. Do you keep magazines by your toilet? No. Ya better just bring your phone. What did you last take a picture of with your camera? On my actual camera, a hydrangea bush. On the camera on my phone, I believe my cat. Are you proud of who you are? Not... really. If you were a waiter/waitress, would you make good tips? Nope. I'm too awkward and I would NEVER write the orders down quickly enough. I write so slow. What are the best kind of Girl Scout cookies? The chocolate and peanut butter ones. If you hit an animal while driving, would you stop to see if it was okay? Well I doubt it's okay, but I would absolutely stop to move it away from the road and sob my eyes out. I'd probably try to find some flowers to rest on it. What's your favorite kind of pasta? Spaghetti. Have you ever played computer solitaire for hours on end? I don't even know how to play solitaire. What's the dumbest thing you've heard of that supposedly causes cancer? Who the hell knows, everything does apparently. If you saw wet cement, would you place your handprint in it? No. Can you honestly tell the difference between DiGiorno and delivery pizza? Absolutely. Do you own a lava lamp? No, but I would looove one. What charity or cause would you donate $1,000 to if possible? Off the top of my head, the Trevor Project. I'd probably research before actually donating, though. What would you say is your greatest strength? I guess that I care a lot about people. What's one food that you find too disgusting to eat? Things like clams, es cargot, sashimi... just ew. What's something that will never bore you? Uhhhh good question. Pizza Hut or Domino's? Domino's, by a long shot. What's something that always, no matter what, makes you laugh? Stupid Vines, lol. Have you ever been in a canoe? No. How many vehicles does your family own? Just one, my mom's. Are you generally afraid of taking risks? Yes. Have you ever caught/swatted a fly in/with your hand? Ew, no. Would you ever dye your hair bubblegum pink? Yeah. What was the last thing to happen that you really weren't expecting? The woman whose wedding I shot TWO YEARS ago finally reaching out to me about buying some pictures. What does it mean when you start eating less? What does it mean when you start eating more? If I'm eating less, odds are I'm extremely serious about losing weight. If I'm eating more than usual, high odds are I'm depressed or bored. Or I'm on my period. Whatā€™s the strangest named pet youā€™ve ever had? Harry Potter, ha ha. He was a guinea pig. What are some defense mechanisms you find yourself using when in an argument with someone? I'm very likely to just metaphorically flee from it because I fear confrontation so much. Do you know if there is anyone who was once important to you that you will never talk to again, even though you could? If I have any say in it, I'm never talking to Colleen again. List the initials of every person you have ever kissed, from first kiss to most recent kiss. (Put ā€œ?ā€s in the place of initials you donā€™t know.) I'm not listing their last initial, but anyway: J, T, G, S. Does your face break out right before your period? Not "break out," no. I'll just get a pimple or two. What did you dream about last night? All I remember was that it focused on Jason and his late mother. I miss her so much. I hope so much that whatever exists beyond death, she found the peace she was so worthy of. Do you think the United States health care system needs reform? FUCK yes I do. Our health care system is a disgusting fucking nightmare. Who was the last person you cried over? Jason. My PTSD has been doing quite well, but I had an emotional episode recently nonetheless. Do you prefer ceiling fans or fans that stand up on the floor and you plug in? I use both, but I think my preference is ceiling ones. What would you do if your son was at home, crying all alone on the bedroom floor because heā€™s hungry, and the only way to feed him was to sleep with a man for a little bit of money? Hypothetically, if I had a child, if I'm totally honest, I probably would. I would hate it, but I'm not letting my child starve to death if I can do something about it. Why do you think evolution is true/false? Because there is substantial evidence for it and imo is the most logical theory we've thought up. Some things about it seem kinda far-fetched, but I still have faith in it. I trust scientists and the evolution we see firsthand, such as caterpillars to cocoons, tadpoles to frogs, etc. Who came through for you at a time when you really, really needed it? Colleen. She let me live with her when I was technically homeless. What turned out better than you thought? Good question. What object did you used to, or do you still, keep hidden? My drawings. I've flipped my shit when Mom's found them in the past, even though she went on and on about how "amazing" they were. I don't draw anything "bad" at all, but still, I don't like people seeing my creativity. Who canā€™t you figure out? My damn self. What are you hoping for? The most recent thing would be hoping Shonda buys a lot, if not all, the wedding photos I took. I desperately want to use the money along with what I have left from Christmas to buy Venus' terrarium and proper supplies all by myself. Whatā€™s the best physical object that you kept from a previous relationship? Idk, there's a few things. What is the most socially unacceptable thing that you have no problem with? Maybe women not shaving. Like I couldn't care less. What have you done that you surprised yourself by doing? *shrug* What used to be a secret about you? Hm. Anything that used to be a secret probably still is one. What is the most stalky thing youā€™ve ever done? Just Facebook digging, and that's not something I've done a lot off. What did you wind up liking that you didnā€™t want anything to do with at first? The only thing that comes to mind at the moment is something sexual, so let's not go into that. Who do you owe your life that you can never pay back? Mom and Jason have both saved me from what would've been suicide attempts.
