#there is 95 members in that group chat

[samuraisharkie]

It’s funny how some things can just instantly transport you back to the times you felt small and helpless. Getting iced and ignored in a group/ group chat. Struggling to understand something. Feeling lonely. Getting weird looks. Being laughed at. Suddenly I’m back in elementary school wondering why everyone picks on me, middle school wondering what’s wrong with me and why I can’t make friends, high school being pushed and shoved and ostracized. And I know I’m an adult now, and if people want to act immature and treat other people like garbage then it’s their loss not mine, but it always shocks me that for all of those things I repeat to myself, for my years of working on my self confidence and growth and understanding, how quickly I can be brought low from others. The little kid that felt like no one would ever care about them is still there somewhere. Realizing the struggle will never be over is depressing

to be in love (csc)

tags: idol bf!cheol, non-idol!reader, fem!reader, reader is referenced as ‘noona’ and ‘girlfriend’ by svt, 95 line!reader, you surprise cheol (and the rest of svt) during practice one day, svt loves you a lot, you also love them a lot, cheol is more whipped than frosting, not proofread, i'm just going insane don't mind me

no matter how much your boyfriend choi seungcheol told you that his members probably loved you more than him, actions always spoke louder than words. as the leader of the group, seungcheol never held back in spending for the sake of his members. he affectionately called them ‘the kids’ or even sometimes ‘his kids’, and he liked giving out allowance/spending money to them. 

but, none of that mattered. at least, not right now. 

tonight was one of those nights where they had to stay up learning choreography so they could begin cleaning in the following week. by this time, their head choreography instructors were long gone and it was just the thirteen members in their dance studio. when seungcheol’s phone rang, he was at the other side of the practice studio as he went over the choreography with hoshi, mingyu, and jeonghan. 

seeing the display name ‘baby’ on seungcheol’s screen, seungkwan picked up instead. “hello? noona?” 

“oh, is this seungkwannie?” your voice asked back, excited. “hi, seungkwan-ah!” 

he smiled, greeting you back. “hi noona! seungcheol hyung is going over choreo right now with hoshi hyung, so i picked up instead.” 

“really? that’s okay,” you hummed. “i’m down in the lobby. if you or someone else isn't busy, do you mind letting me into the rest of the building?”

seungkwan’s eyes scanned around the room, trying to remember which group came next in the choreography. “i think i can send shua hyung and dokyeom hyung?” 

“okay, thank you! make sure you keep it a secret from cheollie. i’ll see you soon, then,” you replied, then ended the call. 

soon, joshua and dokyeom were excitedly making their way down to the lobby after telling everyone else they were just “going to the bathroom.” (this made woozi ask why they were going to the bathroom together, but he quickly lost interest just as fast as he asked the question.) 

when you saw the elevator doors open, you got up from the couch where you were sitting and gave them both a hug. “hi, shua,” you greeted your friend with a hug. when you pulled away, you were immediately swallowed up in another hug by dokyeom. “did dokyeommie miss noona?” 

his cute yes~ made you laugh. you held up two bags of food and two bags of drinks. “help me carry these?” you asked.

the two boys chatted with you as they took all the bags -- because no way would your boyfriend forgive them if they made his girlfriend carry their stuff. they told you that you didn’t need to bring them food, but you could already hear their stomachs growling. you knew your boyfriend like the back of your hand. he was definitely hungry right now, and he would let the boys take a bite of his food before he got started. 

when the door opened to the dance studio again, seungcheol, hoshi, mingyu, and jeonghan were still working on the choreo together. but, there concentration was broken as soon as seungcheol heard your laugh. his head whipped around, confused and wondering if he was so delirious from exhaustion that he was now hallucinating your voice. he was pleasantly surprised when he saw you laughing as you pinched vernon’s cheeks as his eyes lit up at the food. (“y/n noona,” he simpered, hearts in his eyes as he grabbed a container labelled ‘bononie’.) 

hoshi called for a break, excited to see you too. it seemed like suddenly, a room full of people were swarming you, saying ‘thank you noona’ or ‘thanks y/n’ to you. by the time he got to you, seungkwan was excitedly thanking you for bringing him his favorite iced americano -- even though it was decaf. (you wanted him to be able to sleep!) 

seungcheol wrapped his arms around your waist and nuzzled his head into the crook of your head. immediately, one hand reached up to affectionately pat his cheek while the other squeezed his arm around your waist. it was so natural, the way your bodies responded to each other without even needing to talk. 

“i missed you,” he mumbled into your skin. 

you turned around, your eyes warmly gazing at him. your arms draped around the back of his neck while his own arms snaked around your waist again. (the boys were too busy digging in and talking to each other to mind the both of you flirting in front of them.) “aw, i missed you too, my cheollie. i brought your favorite from the kimbap place you like. there wasn’t anything else open this late, so i just stopped by the GS--” your words were cut off by a bunch of kisses around your face, causing you to burst into a fit of giggles. 

“i love you,” he said before he leant in to give you a proper kiss. 

before your lips met, jeonghan screamed, “YAH! take that outside. we have food in front of us.” 

seungcheol pursed lips and closed his eyes, wondering what he was going to do about his friend. you, on the other hand, were still gracious. “did our jeonghannie get sick watching us?” you asked in a baby voice, making fun of him. “tsk, just enjoy your food.” you stuck your tongue out at him, making him laugh. 

while the both of you sat down on the floor with the rest of the members, seungcheol opened his box that was labelled with his name. he even caught the order instructions stapled to the bag, where you asked for extra meat on his and to add a bunch of hearts to his name. god, just when he thought he couldn’t fall in love with you any more than this after being with you for so long! 

he admired the way that you talked to the other members, making sure to hand them napkins if you noticed food around their mouths. he admired that you had gotten off a hard day of work and the first thing you did was take care of him and the people he cared about the most after you and his blood family -- his other family, seventeen. 

when you first started dating, he was worried about them. he knew what it would be like based on other idols’ stories. you date one, you date the whole group. but, you didn’t mind it one bit. if anything, you were always excited to see the boys and were often more worried about them liking her than she was of liking them. whenever he asked you about it, you would say, “of course i love them. they’re your members.” the way you said it like it was so obvious and that any other answer was ridiculous still made butterflies swarm in his stomach. 

feeling more in love by the second, seungcheol pulled you in close, so appreciative he had someone like you in his life. he had never met anything as kind, caring, and genuine as you. he made a mental note to order whatever he had loaded into his cart for you whenever he got home that night. oh, he was going to spoil you so hard. you deserved everything you ever wanted and more.  yeah, he is so in love with you.

Daisy Hannie’s Invisible Ask Game

I saw @felixknow do this and i love the concept so much that i wanted to give it a shot. Inspo credit goes to them~

I have created a list of 100 fake text/ drabble prompts. These prompts are a mix of fluff, smut, crack, and angst. Including various troupes like friends to lovers, friends with benefits, pining, enemies to lovers, fake dating, accidentally sending nudes/sexting, and more!

⇢ ˗ˏˋ My Ask Box is Open! ࿐ྂ

You can request any number 1-100 and a corresponding member of Stray Kids and/or Ateez. You can also do a combination of members from either or both group and even request ot8 versions or group chat versions.

If you do not include a member but give me a number, or only give me a member but no number then it will become dealer’s choice.

But as you can probably guess, there’s a catch.

You will not know the prompt you requested until the texts/drabbles are posted!

PICTURE PERFECT(guy)ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ִ ࣪𖤐

ARTEM WING - the one and only stellis's ace and youngest senior attorney. though he's focused on his career and winning cases, due to his immense popularity in both the country and online, he has built a social following. to be honest, he doesn't have a clue on how to act online. he mainly tweets and posts whatever he likes. extremely awkward. helpless (help this mf pls!). always is the butt of the joke when it comes to romance. serious buff office guy. addicted to coffee. tweets like an old grandpa. y'know, the types to just tweet what they're doing atm no matter how random it is. probably will post detailed reviews of movies he's watched (ofc, he acts as if he's not a well know movie creator with his other persona). DRIVES AN SUV AND A RACE CAR! filthy rich. filthy powerful too.

ROSA - probably artem's most trusted person. as his colleague and partner, they've developed a relationship that's akin to both friends, colleagues and lovers. whichever you prefer. even nixx men are confused whether or not artem likes her or not. spoiler: she has a thing for luke. she's responsible for telling celestine everything that's happening in the case. always the person who seems to make artem more popular to the girls. rumored girlfriend of artem. loves anything plushie! lovers dessert too. has a thing for violins. always the one who'll out him. treats the nixx team like they're her kids. acts like their mom too! mediator of the group when shit goes down in the nixx gc.

LUKE PEARCE - everybody knows that he's scared of artem. not really scared, but more of he's seen artem seething with fury and he's vowed not to be the one receiving it. tends to tease artem together with rosa. butt of the joke most of the time. prefers to focus on bright side of things. he's a literal sunshine! he makes sure everyone is healthy and safe. quick and smart too. he's like the dad of the group.

VYN RICHTER - he probably gets into fights with artem frequently, with marius fuelling the fight 95% of the time. he's usually the one that acts too cool for artem, usually using his two degrees to make artem shut up in an argument. loves perfume. he's the resident therapist of the group and usually he's the one they run to for romantic advice. he wondes why when he's single and has never even dated anyone. emotionally reserved. has an air of sophistication around him. 100% can read artem, though. they often think of the same thing and get each other through visual or verbal cues. he is closest with his sister, y/n. regularly keeps tabs on her for her safety.

MARIUS VON HAGEN - causes most inconvenience in the group chat, with his butler vincent cleaning up after his mess most of the time. he loves to annoy people in the gc. definitely loves to play the "younger brother" card. the crackhead of the group. 100% lost in between conversation. usually the one who's first to hear news of this and that. most fashionable member. even if he's by the far the not-so-favorite team member, they appreciate him for being a big help during nixx cases. he enjoys posting online whenever they get together. he's usually the loud one in the gc.

HI bestie happy pride !!!!!!! one quastion do you have any lgbt hcs for tpn that you're particularly fond of? whether they were hard hcs from the beginning or picked up from others,, give me yuor thoughts <3

ℍ𝔸ℙℙ𝕐 ℙℝ𝕀𝔻𝔼 𝔹𝔼𝕊𝕋𝕀𝔼!!! 🌈❤️🧡💛💚💙💜✨

My favorite hard headcanons that will come as a surprise to no one who has spent some time browsing this blog are endgame Norrayemma/REN/NER and Gildayshe, the former of which I'm very fortunate with when it comes to finding art and fic, and the latter not so much because I've never seen it anywhere besides this site. </3 (Thanks for prompting me to finally put together my past!Gildemma → endgame!Gildemma ramble I mentioned months ago. 🧡💚💛) Special shoutout to @frozentothetouch whose art converted me back in 2021 before I made this blog.

I don't have hard gender or sexuality headcanons for the trio for reasons @hanz-xd perfectly articulated here:

i think they'd have a hard time understanding the human world's perception of relationships and their hyper focus on labels. it's not like they really had those things at grace field, or at least, it wasn't important enough for them to care about. no one really called themselves straight, gay, bi, etc. so it's a little confusing for them in the real world. not the concept of these identities, just the need for labels in the first place. emma is kinda like "well i love every body?? why do i need to label that??" i think emma also struggles to understand the pressure of monogamy because again, her heart is so big and so full, she can't possibly imagine containing that love to one single person. especially when she thinks about ray and norman. she doesn't love one of them more than the other, she loves both of them so much. why would she want to force herself to choose when she could just love both of them? [...] but yeah, to summarize, the three of them would be together, but they'd never put labels on their identities, aside from calling each other their boyfriend/girlfriend. that's all it needs to be for them. the most they’ll do is confirm with a simple “yeah i guess” when people ask if they’re polyamorous. like yeah, they are by definition, but they don’t really care about labels. they just love each other in a way that feels right and authentic to them

The trio of my heart 🤍🧡🖤 though if I had to pick some, I'd default to the ones @officersnickers uses in this piece.

Likewise I don't have firm gender headcanons for Gildayshe, but I'm very big on lesbian Gilda, once again thanks to Rain and also to @just-like-playing-tag. I would also say I'm 95% committed to lesbian Ayshe, with the last 5% being my soft spot for Rayshe, though even then she's wlw + Ray doesn't necessarily have to be cis for it to work.

I'm ever so slightly less big on Yuucas but still big on it and a firm believer in the bunkerdads. 🖤❤️ Like many people in the fandom, I also champion gay Lucas and bi Yuugo, though ngl I'm half convinced Shirai included Dina as an afterthought at the suggestion of higher-ups so people wouldn't suspect either was a mlm or "funny" with the kids given how inconsequential Yuuna is to the story. Do love a bi skunk king though. 💖💜💙👑🦨✨

I also love the idea of bi Nat with him leaning toward guys thanks to @puff-poff. Don is pan with a preference toward girls (though you have shown me the light of trans gay Don. 🙏💙💖🤍) I love the thought of him firmly believing in the idea of "finding a cute girl to date" like he talks about in episode 1, only to one day be hit with the mental equivalent of a sack of bricks upon falling hard for a guy. Not in like an angsty way because this is years down the line and he's able to handle his insecurities better, plus he has the support of a large family filled with members of the community and I'd like to think after another world war the human world as a whole is more accepting of this, so there's no shame attached to it. It's more like having it happen and then going in the group chat with something akin to "remember when I said I was a ladies' kind of guy?"

No one in the Goldy Pond crew or Lambda gang claims cishet, but my favorites for each:

Trans lesbian Violet. I cannot pass up Shirai canonically making her favorite food pickles (noted in the mystic code book). It writes itself.

Love the thought of Violet taking Gilda under her wing during their search for the Seven Walls when she finds out she had a crush on Emma. (something Violet can relate to lol)

Trans girl Gillian. Feel like this one is less common than trans Violet, but regardless, she's pan and Nigel's bi.

Vincent is gay. M'guy dapper af.

(Chapter 137)

Cislo is a mlm, though Snickers has kind of converted me to him being aroace.

Barbara is a lesbian. While I'm definitely not opposed to Cherry Bomb, I've recently taken a liking to her and Sonya being a couple. (Sonyara? Is this a thing that I've missed or am I the only potential shipper? I like the idea of Sonya approaching things in a more calm and levelheaded fashion and how that sometimes conflicts with Barbara's more chaotic one, but instead of it resulting in ire, they take it as a playful challenge. Plus I like how Sonya's blues pop next to Barbara's pinks and reds.)

(Bad mesh of their color pics in the art world book but I work with what I have. </3)

This is already hella long but there was definitely something between Leuvis and Bayon Sr. Also Geelan is a mlm.

182 Days of TPN - Day 95

Chapter 95: “Let’s Go Home”

Oliver is essentially the male-version of Emma with his view of Goldy Pond very similar to what she believed of Grace Field and the demon world itself.

We love a supportive parent, even if their kids wish for destruction. And aww the trio are so small and adorable. I’d love a story just about them and their several years spent at Goldy Pond. Hell, there needs to be more content of the GP trio in general. I’ll take literally anything.

Not to discredit Nigel and Violet, but it would be so much work for two people to watch over and guide 50+ kids, even with Lucas going with them.

Catch me crying over how sweet Oliver is. Also, that tiny flashback of Lucas being confused about Adam is cute. That kid certainly has a lot of questions surrounding him.

Y’all are just a bunch of self-sacrificial idiots and I love it. Ray could get along with them so well. I’d die to see him interact with the whole crew too.

Lucas once again being such a great dad by owning up to his mistakes (though I don’t think this one was even that bad since he was also suffering) and refusing to leave any of the children behind. I usually see people wish about how entertaining it could’ve been if Isabella met Yuugo, but Lucas is the real parent she needs to chat with. She could learn a thing or two from him.

Look how much my boy has grown! From not wanting to escape GF with the younger children simply because they were too young to understand and were bound to be a huge burden outside the wall, to now refusing to give up on anyone, no matter their age, potential, or how injured they are. Emma’s influence is so strong.

I wanna thank these kids for being so kind and ready to help out, but I also feel the need to apologize to them because aside from Theo, I remember none of their names. Wonderful additions to the family regardless!

Oh, I gotta say sorry to Adam as well because I forgot he was still around.. he’ll definitely be a big help during the long trip back.

Next on my list on content wish list is more of Ray just wearing the turtleneck. I know I should focus more on how he’s basically reciting both Norman & Emma’s words here, but c’mon, the turtleneck is such a good look! (Also, he looks super cute here.. and calm, which is surprising since he’s about to cauterize Emma’s wounds. I’d be freaking out but hey, he’s seems confident enough about it, so good on him.)

Aahh, even more memories I desperately wanted to see.

Emma’s dream continues to flourish and so quickly too, as it’s only been about two weeks since the escape. And Ray’s eyes look so pretty here wth.

Favorite panel/moment:

I can���t possibly just choose between these two moments because they’re equally as important to me as they are to the characters. Firstly, we got Ray offering his assistance to Violet & Nigel by guiding the 50+ kids along the three week route back to the shelter. This is so very important because he’s choosing other people over Emma aka his best friend/the girl he would give his very life for/the girl he promised to protect at all costs. This something he probably would’ve never done a couple months ago, but because it was Emma’s hope for everyone to survive and escape GP, of course he’s going to take charge of her wish when she’s down and out.

“He chose to escort a large group of children to safety, knowing he would be on edge for three weeks constantly worrying about Emma’s condition, instead of making the quick trip back with Yuugo because he knew how important it was to her that those kids, new members of their family, remained safe and feel what true freedom is.” - me, once again quoting myself because I’m lazy.

It isn’t like Ray’s making this decision haphazardly either. He goes the extra step to make sure Emma is well protected and given the best chance at survival, which means he’s gotta put all his trust into Yuugo (aka the dude he very much despised the previous day for allowing Emma to be snatched up by the poachers in the first place) to bring her back to the shelter in time. Also, this is the first time Yuugo calls Ray by name and I love how it parallels Yuugo using Emma’s name in ch90, as he agrees to follow each kid’s respective plans on both occasions.

On Monday morning, the organizers of the Take Our Border Back convoy kicked off their road trip to the Texas–Mexico border in Virginia Beach. Though they claimed that up to 40,000 trucks would be joining, only 20 vehicles made up the convoy as it rolled into Jacksonville, Florida, 14 hours later. The promised support had not materialized—not a single truck showed up, tires were reportedly slashed, participants got lost, and paranoia struck the group. In short, the convoy was a complete mess.

The convoy was organized last week as a show of support for Texas governor Greg Abbott and his decision to defy the federal government and President Joe Biden about the installation of razor wire along the Texas–Mexico border in Eagle Pass, Texas. While at least one organizer initially said they planned to hunt down migrants along the border in collaboration with sympathetic members of law enforcement, the group appeared to walk back that assertion on Monday, issuing a statement that the convoy would not be heading to the border at all but instead going to Quemado, a tiny town in Catron County, Texas. The group’s website, however, still lists the route of the convoy as “Virginia Beach, VA, to Eagle Pass,” and members of the planning group on Telegram still say they are going to the Texas border.

The organizers also repeatedly stated that the event was peaceful, though online chats in a related Telegram group show members discussing “exterminating” migrants. A known white nationalist who was kicked out of the People’s Convoy in 2022, Ryan Sanchez, is among those most active in the group. Sanchez was previously a Marine Corp reservist who says he was kicked out after he was reported to have been demonstrating alongside the Rise Above Movement, an alt-right street-fighting group that took part in the neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, which led to the death of one counterprotester.

“I think the Eagle Pass rally is going to be the ’main event,’” Sanchez wrote in the convoy Telegram channel. “We need to think strategically and concentrate our limited resources where they will have the greatest effect.”

But on the first day of the convoy, some attendees woke up to find their tires slashed, according to one of the main livestreamers who posted pictures on X of the cars outside a motel. The meeting point also had to be hastily rearranged on Monday morning when the owners of the original location told the organizers they couldn’t gather there.

When the convoy did finally come together in a hotel parking lot in Norfolk, Virginia, there were a few dozen people and around 20 vehicles, based on video footage reviewed by WIRED and comments made by the livestreamers responding to questions from supporters.

The day began with a speech from Craig Hudgins, one of the organizers, who stressed that the event was a "peaceful, peaceable demonstration.” Hudgins also claimed—without evidence—that he had heard that up to “40,000 truckers from all over the country and Canada” would be joining the convoy—although not a single one of those trucks managed to join the group during the first day. The convoy members also heard from Ivan Raiklin, who was involved in the efforts to block Joe Biden’s election win and is an ally of disgraced national security adviser Michael Flynn.

Finally, after a prayer from a pastor linked to the Church Militant, a far-right religious website, the convoy rolled out an hour later than scheduled and headed down I-95. It was spearheaded by a bus covered in MAGA slogans.

Almost immediately, one of the vehicles in the convoy got lost, according to messages posted in the Zello walkie-talkie app that the group is using to communicate while on the road. Later, when the convoy linked up to discuss evening plans, the meeting quickly descended into an argument about where they were going to be staying. Even trying to meet up at a gas station was difficult: Due to the size of a Buc-ee’s in South Carolina, convoy members couldn’t locate each other.

A few hours into the trip, the lead bus pulled over onto the highway shoulder and kicked out one of the people onboard, who had traveled on his own from Washington, DC. It was unclear exactly why he was ejected, but the man, who is part of a group that protests daily in support of people jailed for rioting at the Capitol on January 6, was left stranded in Florence, South Carolina, without his wallet, according to details discussed on a livestream of someone in contact with the man.

Throughout the day, the half-dozen people livestreaming the convoy spent much of their time responding to questions from some of the thousands of people watching.

Most of the questions were about the conspiracy that the convoy is a “setup” by the federal government to “entrap patriots.” That sense of paranoia has been present in the group from the very beginning, according to leaks of the group’s chats on Discord: “This will end up loaded with trolls and feds in no time,” one member wrote a week ago.

Paranoia was also prevalent on the Telegram channels used to coordinate the convoy in different parts of the country. “I hope it’s not another J6 trap. People need to pray for discernment about this. But after 3 years of this people are sick of it,” one member wrote, referring to the widely debunked conspiracy that the Capitol insurrection was a left-wing plan to trap Trump supporters.

On Monday, after the cars had started on the road, organizers issued a press release, claiming “groups are forming to infiltrate the convoy.” The statement also claims that “nowhere on the website does it say anything about the convoy going to the border,” which is inaccurate, as the route for the main convoy clearly states the final destination is Eagle Pass.

Additionally, one of the organizers of the convoy, Pete Chambers, told Alex Jones last week that his plan included traveling to the border to hunt migrants and work with local law enforcement to capture them. Among those traveling with the convoy, multiple people on Monday mentioned going to Eagle Pass. “We’re all going to the border,” one member declared on the livestream on Monday night.

Though the convoy’s start was full of mishaps, others planning to join the convoy still appear to be taking their plans seriously. Online, a number of people are openly talking about going to the border: “Those going to Eagle Pass on Saturday, message me,” one member of the Texas-focused Take Our Border Back Telegram channel wrote. “I'm organizing level 2 security detail composed of veterans and prior law enforcement guys. We're not going to engage any threats or go in guns blazing. We'll just keep a watchful eye and report any suspicious behavior.”

As the convoy has gained some media attention, the Telegram channels have been scrubbed of a lot of the more virulent, racist, and violent language used by members. However, leaks of the Telegram chat detail clearly how members spoke openly about “exterminating” migrants.

Since Abbott issued his letter in defiance of the Biden administration, he has seen support flow in from dozens of GOP governors and former president Donald Trump, who has urged other states to send troops to Texas. The convoy has been portrayed in right-wing media in recent days as part of a wider right-wing effort to support Abbott and resist Biden’s immigration policies, and as a result, its organizers have been able to raise over $140,000 on a Christian-focused crowdfunding website.

On Tuesday morning, the convoy departed Jacksonville for Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with a few more vehicles joining the group—but still no trucks.

When the Rain Invites Me to a Snuggle Fest

August 1, 2023

Wow, what a delightful start to August! Snuggled up in bed, battling the gloomy weather is quite a challenge. If only my to-do list was shorter and the client calls fewer, I'd let my laziness throw a little party. But duty calls, and with a smile, I shall rise and conquer my day!

Despite feeling a little lazy and being 30 minutes late for work, I can proudly say that I'm improving. There's a newfound joy, motivation, and fulfillment in my work now. Of course, I still have some worries about work-related things, but I think that's normal as everyone gets busy. I'm not operating at 100% today; my psychologist advised me to slow down, and today I'm feeling extra slow. The weather is definitely affecting my mood and work momentum. I must admit, I'm strongly tempted, about 95% close, to snuggle up in a blanket and spend the day in bed. But luckily, I managed to pull myself together and get some work done.

Today, I felt a twinge of sadness and ended up overthinking a situation. I've been working on communicating more lately, but earlier, I felt a bit ignored. In our group chat, when others ask questions about work, they get instant responses from fellow members. However, when it's me asking a question, it seems like no one replies. I had to tag specific people and repeat my question to get an answer. It's really puzzling because I have a good relationship with them, and they genuinely care for me. This makes me wonder why – am I not that interesting, or do they think I don't really need help? Regardless, I'll use this experience to reflect and find a better approach next time, rather than dwelling on it.

But aside from that situation, I am actually happy today! Normally, I get shy when someone praises me or compliments my work. But this time, even though I still feel a little bashful, I decided to accept the compliment with a simple "thanks" and a smile. Surprisingly, it made me even happier! I'm not sure why, but it's something I'll definitely ponder. Maybe accepting compliments is one of the secret to boosting happiness and confidence!

And guess what? I managed to leave work earlier than expected today! It seems like the weekly management plan is doing wonders for me. There's still so much to explore and improve within myself, and today's events proved that. But you know what? I'm feeling really happy and content with my little progress so far!

Positive Talk:

- You are more than enough, just the way you are!

- You're blossoming and making progress every day!

- Look at you! Today, you're even happier than yesterday!

- You did great today and handled everything like a pro!

- Remember, not every day is smooth sailing, but let's embrace the challenges and grow from them!

- Everyone adores you, so don't overthink it!

Hello, this is your favorite salesman cult recruiter speaking. I would like to offer you a limited time offer of joining the discord for the small, small price for your sanity

Do all the body parts follow each other? Is there some kind of secret blood club that consists of all the parts?

Someone tag the parts

Heyy! I absolutely love your OC Minnie. I was just wondering if you could do like a reaction chapter(?) where Minnie reacts to Wonwoo in ✨that✨ outfit (crop top) only if you’re comfortable with it. You can totally ignore me if requests are closed. Thank you so much for writing such a wonderful character. I love this so much🥰

Hii, thank you so much for your kind words🥰🥰 Since Minnie was Cheol's partner in crime when it came to convincing Wonwoo to cut his top, this is what happened:

(partially playing in front of the camera, for this Inside Seventeen episode)

Show Off 🌷 Minnie

·۪۫ˑ݈↷✄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

Minnie just got done with getting her hair and makeup done perfectly, already in her outfit for the last stage of their Left & Right promotions.

"Thank youu," she told her stylists, standing up from the chair in front of the mirror and making her way to one of the sofas in the room.

The girl reached for her phone in the back pocket of her pants, taking a look at possible text messages. She found three new ones from her '97 Liner group chat. Yves and Jisoul wished Minnie all the best for their final stage, while Junhoe asked the group when the next time would be where all of them could finally meet up again. A chuckle left her lips, catching the attention of the maknae to her left, whose eyes drifted to her screen, making her snatch the phone closer to her.

"Oh, you have secrets all of a sudden?" Dino looked at her wide-eyed.

Minnie shook her head and smiled, "Why are you so interested in what's on my phone, huh?" Since it was only a rhetorical question, she put down the phone again, making him able to take a look at the chat, laughing at the message from the older iKon member,

"He does know we're not allowed to meet up with a lot of people at the moment, right?"

Minnie chuckled, "I honestly don't know," and took a breath, "That's Junie."

Jun, who was approaching the two younger members, raised his head once he heard the nickname that the girl usually used for him, "Hm?" The '97 Liner shook her head and patted the empty space to her right,

"Not you, sorry. Junhoe." As soon as he sat down, Minnie let her head rest against his shoulder, knowing he wouldn't mind.

Just as she was about to type an answer back into the chat, a voice coming from the door of the room interrupted her,

"Minnie!" The dancer didn't look up from her phone, "Come here for a second," The leader asked her.

"Why?" Still, eyes glued on the screen.

"Just come here!" Sometimes, he didn't have the patience for the girl. With a sigh, she stood back up, putting her phone into her pocket again, trying to remind herself of sending off her answer later on. At the door, S.Coups escorted her further out to where Wonwoo was standing in front of a floor-length mirror in another room.

"What's up?" She wondered as soon as they came to a halt. While the '96 Liner had his hand placed on his abdomen, Cheol answered,

"Don't you think it would look good if Wonwoo cut his shirt?" The girl was taken aback by the question, looking at the leader wide-eyed, as to why he suddenly confronted her with the question.

"Why?" She chuckled, swallowing. Instead of answering her with words, the '95 Liner walked over to the younger member and simply pulled up the black and purple shirt, letting everybody that would walk by get a glimpse of the rapper's abs. Minnie's eyes widened as she reached for Cheol's hand, pulling it back, noticing Wonwoo trying to cover it again.

"Don't do that," she smiled at S.Coups, who looked back at her with the same amused look on his face, waiting for her to reply to the question he had put into the room.

"Why?" His lips curled, turning to Wonwoo and back to Minnie, "He should show off that he's been working out."

"I haven't been working out for that long, though," the '96 Liner defended himself, catching the attention of the girl, who frowned at him,

"What the hell are you talking about? You even started before the tour."

"But stuff like that is a work in progress-"

"And your work has made progress," Seungcheol interrupted him, stating a point that the girl made in her mind but wouldn't want to say out loud.

Wonwoo shook his head and looked to the side shyly, making Minnie press her lips together to hide the smile that was making its way onto her lips.

"If you're comfortable enough, I'd do it," she finally admitted. He raised his eyes to meet hers, as she sent him a kind smile and nodded her head, "Imagine the reaction of Carats." Both men started chuckling at her comment, but she kept the serious look on her face, "What? You know how long they've been waiting for this."

Wonwoo felt heat filling his cheek, nodding and he hoping the makeup on his face was able to cover most, whereas S.Coups just shook his head and was about to leave, when Minnie spoke up one last time, "I'll go get the scissors," clapping her hands, before leaving the pair.

The leader laughed out loud and patted his younger member's shoulder, "She seems excited about the idea," with a knowing grin on his lips. Wonwoo shrugged him off and followed the girl into the other room, where the rest of the members and stylists were.

As soon as he entered, he found the '97 Liner with a pair of what she was looking for in her hands, excitedly looking around for the familiar face. Once she found him, she motioned for him to get closer, which he did without hesitation.

"You okay with me doing it?" She wondered, not wanting for him to regret his decision. Wonwoo looked down and gave her an amused smile and a nod, making her grin widen - he could've sworn that he saw her eyes sparkle... but maybe that had just been wishful thinking.

The dancer turned towards the mirror, moving him with her, and crouched down slightly, pointing the scissors at where she would start cutting.

"There?" She asked him.

"Shouldn't you know that?" He chuckled, and she smiled,

"I don't want you to feel uncomfortable."

"You're all good, don't worry," he assured her, making her proceed with her action as a small, "okay," left her lips.

As the blades were cutting through the fabric, one of their stylists, who Minnie had asked about the new design of the shirt, approached the two with quick steps, "Do you know how to cut it?"

The female member nodded, biting her tongue as she concentrated, "I think so, we'll see." And the stylist left with a sigh and a chuckle.

"I don't think she trusts you," Wonwoo commented, his arms up in an awkward position, not wanting to get in the way of her work.

Minnie laughed, "I'm surprised you do," straightening her back and taking a step back to see how straight or not so straight the line was she had cut. And even with the hiss that was about to escape from between her teeth, he could only smile at her,

"Of course I do." Looking at her concentrating face for a bit too long and too deeply than he probably should have. Her messed up straight line forgotten, she looked up at the words that he had just spoken, finding his longing gaze immediately. For a few too many seconds, the pair shared a lock of their gazes before she cleared her throat and got back to work. Wonwoo quickly looked to the side uncomfortably, trying to see if anyone has seen them, only to find Joshua eyeing the pair carefully. The '95 Liner raised his eyebrows and left with a smug smile on his lips.

"Sorry," she whispered, stepping to the side to let him see the clearly slanting cut that the girl has done.

"Oh god, I really shouldn't have," Wonwoo faked a disappointed look, making her chuckle, which made him smile in return, "No," he assured her, "Just cut a little bit here too," he reached for her hand that was holding the scissors and guided it to where he mentioned.

She nodded quickly, hoping the tingly feeling in her hand wouldn't make her cutting wonky.

Deciding to cut slower, the '97 Liner took step after step with each cut made, walking in a circle around the rapper until she finished it completely and held the cut off piece of fabric in her hand.

"Done!" She exclaimed excitedly, gaining the attention of the members around them. Suddenly the room filled with "Oooh"s as soon as they saw their second-oldest rapper in his 'new' shirt.

"See! What did I tell you!" S.Coups walked up the two, "Raise your arms," he told Wonwoo, who only shook his head and was about to turn around and walk away, when the female stopped him by getting a hold of his hand and raising it as high as she could, letting him show off a glimpse of his abs.

"Eeeeeyyy," she teased him, earning her joking shove from the '96 Liner, who was clearly about to blush hard. "Carats are gonna go crazy," she commented one last time before throwing away the piece of fabric.

-

A few more minutes before the group would get called onto the stage, Minnie watched the boys standing in front of the camera, giving interviews for their Inside Seventeen episode. She stood up after the manager asked them to slowly make their way into the hallway at the same time as Wonwoo was standing right next to the door, talking to the camera.

"I'm glad to have spent the summer with Left & Right," he spoke, but stopped and jolted away as the girl passed him, nagging him by taping his abs with her cold fingers. A chuckle could be heard from her. "So I think it was a great start for the summer." He finished, looking to his right where the girl had stood still, ready to give her statement to the camera, "For the start of the summer, Wonwoo has a little surprise for Carats," winking into the lense, as the man next to her nodded.

-

After the first recording of their performance, the group was back in their green room, sitting on chairs and sofas, waiting to go out again. The cameraman was filming Wonwoo again, asking him about the crop top he was wearing.

"I wasn't gonna wear this originally," he explained, "but S.Coups and her," pointing to Minnie, who was sitting a chair in front of him, leaning on the backrest with her shoulder and turning her head to the right at the sound of her name, "highly recommended it."

The camera switched to film her, smiling at the older member, "You're welcome," and nodding before turning to the cameraman, now talking to Carats and whoever would be watching the clip in the future, "And you're welcome too."

Words: 1.8k

AN: Requests are OPEN

Be warned for Angsty SVT

  Jangmi’s Masterlist

Read Part 1 First: Just a tad Protective Pt.1

Jangmi speed walked out of the room, trying her very best to ignore her hyung’s voices.

“You know better than to leave the main room.”

“Are you really this irresponsible?”

“You could have got lost.”

“Why were you even here?”

“I swear if it was to hang out with that boy who speaks terrible Kore-”

“Rydel Kim.” Seungcheol bellowed, right as she touched the handle of the door which would take them to the main waiting room.

She turned around at the mention of her real name, sucking in a sharp breath. “What.”

“Why did you go backstage?” Seungcheol boomed, his jaw seemingly tense,

Jangmi closed her eyes firmly for a split second, trying to keep her tears at bay. “I told you. I went to see a friend.”

“Stop with that bullshit.” Jeonghan joined. “You don’t even know the guy- he asked for your number.”

She sighed in annoyance. “If you would let me speak, you would know that I went to see Kevin. Not Felix. Kevin.”

“That’s his name.” Joshua muttered under his breath.

When no one spoke, she threw her hands in the air out of frustration. “Are we done here? Can I go?”

“Absolutely not.” Jeonghan declared. “Why were you with Felix and not Kevin then?”

“Because Dino needed to go pee so I waited for him. And then Felix walked by, and I thought it’d be nice to introduce myself.”

“Introduce yourself?” Seungcheol scoffed. “If you’re going to lie, at least lie well.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Jangmi asked accusatorily, glaring at him.

“He means how you never go and make friends- you always need us to make them for you.” Jeonghan interjected, replying on their leaders behalf.

“I make friends myself”

“Name one.”

“Mark, Haechan, Kevin, Som-”

“She doesn’t count. Nayoung introduced her.”

“I still named a friend!” Jangmi screeched. She could feel her eyes becoming cloudy.

“Should we chat about this later?” Joshua pointed at the sign saying, ‘keep quiet.’

“Fine.”

“Good.”

“Hyungs!” They all turn to the left, to see Dino walking up to them with the members of Stray Kids.

“Annyeonghaseyo Sunbaemin.”

“Annyeonghaseyo.” Her hyungs bowed back politely, the lack of smiles clearly evident on their face.

“I’m looking forward to your performance today.” Chan grinned, not noticing the gloomy atmosphere.

“Thank you.” Seungcheol replied coldly. “Nice meeting you.”

And with that he walked away, Jeonghan and Joshua right behind him.

Jangmi turned to face Stray Kids. “I’m sorry about them. They’re a bit stressed about our performance.”

“They’re not usually like this.” Dino added.

Seungmin smiled. “That’s alright. We better head of anyway.”

“See you around.” Jangmi chirped, before grabbing Dino’s arm and following 95’ line back into the main room.

“That was weird.” Dino noted.

She grimaced. “I’ll tell you after.”

The rest of the award show went quite smoothly. Her hyungs acted civil, which meant she did as well. No need to escalate the matter further.

In fact, she didn’t even know why they were mad. Because she spoke to Felix? Maybe because she went out of the room. But then again so did Dino?

All she knew was that she wouldn’t be able to fall asleep until the matter was solved. Meaning that was why she found herself on the rooftop of their apartment at 2am with her hyungs.

“Are you going to explain why y’all acted so rudely today.” Jangmi asked, sinking her fingers deep into her jacket pockets.

“I don’t think we acted rudely.”

“You’re joking.” She scoffed. “You acted like the biggest dicks in front of Felix.”

“I admit we didn’t act nicely.” Josh agreed.

“But you did also act irresponsibly.” Seungcheol added.

She nodded. “I‘m sorry. I should have known better after doing this many awards shows”

“You live and you learn.” Jeonghan said, rubbing his hands together for warmth.

“I’ll ask you ne-” She stopped. “Why isn’t Chan here then?”

“Why would he be here?” Seungcheol asked.

Jangmi furrowed her eyebrows. “Because he also snuck out of the main room.”

“What does Chan sneaking out of the main room have to do with you talking to boys?”

Jangmi felt the anger starting to simmer within her. “Wait, you’re not talking about me sneaking out right?” She clarified.

“That.”

“As well as hanging out with the boy.” Jeonghan continued.

Joshua corrected under his breath. “Felix.” Seungcheol glared at him.

“I’m suddenly not allowed to hang out with boys now?” Jangmi asked accusingly.

“Not boys who are clearly trying to get in your pants.” Seungcheol replied, raising his voice.

Jangmi crossed her arms angrily. “That was totally uncalled for.”

“No. What was uncalled for was him flirting with you, and you not stopping it.”

“HE WAS NOT FLIRTING WITH ME.” Jangmi told Jeonghan. “And if he was, I would shut it down.”

“He shouldn’t even flirt with you in the first place.” Jeonghan exclaimed. “You’re his fucking sunbae.”

She held a hand in front of her. “I’m not even going to respond to that cos you’re off your damn mind. A girl and guy can have a civil conversation.”

“Not when he’s staring at you like that.”

“Like what?” She stoped talking- trying not to cry. But it’s too late, she blinked thrice but couldn’t stop the tears that were starting to roll down.

“He’s looking like you’re the most important thing in the world.”

“Why can’t he, Seungcheol?” Jangmi questioned, furiously trying to remove any trace of tears.

“Because-”

“Because what?” she asked firmly. Stepping closer to her hyungs. “And what if he was. Why am I getting punished for his actions?”

“You should have known and stopped it.”

“Instead of standing so close to each other.”

“Why is everything my fault?” Jangmi yelled. Like really yelled. And she rarely, if not ever, yells in anger. Frustration? Yes. But never anger.

Yet here she was, yelling.

“Nothing’s your fault. But you need to learn to read the room.”  Joshua acquiesced.

Jangmi turned to glare at him. “I did read the mother fucking room. And let me tell you what it was completely fine.” She swore in English.

“You guys.” She pointed at her oldest hyungs. She was crying again, the anger and bitterness in her voice a mere second ago was replaced by tears of frustration. “You guys don’t trust me.”

“No. Jangmi. We do trust you. You know we trust you.” Joshua’s voice softened.

“Well, doesn’t seem like it.” She pressed. “You complain I don’t have friends, and then don’t trust me when I decide to make friends.”

“We just want you to make the right friends.” Seungcheol clarified.

Jangmi scoffed. “And you know what’s best for me? I can make my own goddamn decision.”

“You can.” Jeonghan stepped closer. “But as your hyungs, we’re always going to look out for you. Whether you like it or not.”

“But why can’t I be friends with Felix.” Jangmi questioned. “What makes him different from Mark or Sanha or Somi.”

“He’s a boy.” Josh stated obviously.

“Hate to break it to you mate. Mark’s a boy too.”

“But we know his groupmates.”

“You can’t only expect me to make friends with members of your friends.”

“That was what you did before.”

“Yes.” Jangmi sighed. “That’s when I couldn’t speak Korean well. When I was super shy. I’ve been trying really hard to be more outgoing. And for fucks sake. You’ve all told me to be make friends.”

She paused to compose herself. “Do you know how bloody long I’ve waited for to make an Australian friend. YEARS. It’s been 3 fucking years since we’ve debuted, and you’ve ruined my one shot by being jealous bandmates.”

“No ones stopping you from being friends with Rose.” Jeonghan stated, in a matter-of-fact tone.

“Someone’s gender doesn’t dictate if I can be friends with them or not.” Jangmi glared at him. “And once again. You have no right in deciding who I make my friend, through some bullshit criteria.”

“We’re making sure you’re being careful. You’re a girl. Don’t give boys the wrong idea.”

Jangmi raised her eyebrows at Seungcheol, after his last comment. “Don’t play that card with me.”

She tried to ignore the rage which was pulsing through her veins. “Why do I need to make sure boys don’t get the wrong idea? Why can’t they figure it out for themselves? You all have a brain. You can learn to read the room. Why does the responsibility have to fall on me?”

“It’s because you his sun-”

“Don’t give me the sunbae bullshit.” She interrupted Josh. “You know very well I would have been kicked out of Seventeen if I had tried to flirt with Yugyeom or Taehyung of some shit. Their members wouldn’t have been dicks and blamed them.”

Josh sighed in frustration, before pausing to think of his choice of words. “You know what. You’re right. We shouldn’t have put all the blame on you. We’re sorry.”

“We are?” Seungcheol asked in confusion.

“Yes we are.” Jeonghan agreed, his tone a lot kinder than before. “We shouldn’t have freaked out that you were making friends. Especially since we give you so much shit for it.”

Jangmi smiled. “Thank you.”

“Even though it did look like you were flirting, we should believe you when you say you weren’t flirting with him.” He continued.

“I understand how it looked like flirting. But I tell you guys all the time. I’m way more comfortable talking to boy after living with all of you. Girls’ kind of scare me.” She chuckled.

Jeonghan gave a weak smile. “And about the whole blaming you for his flirting was not cool- I think this is a perfect instance of the patriarchy influencing out through process.”

“I see you’re reading the books I got you for your birthday.”

Jeonghan nodded proudly.

Seungcheol cleared his throat. He had been awfully quiet during the other apologies. “Look. You’re our baby sister. And whether you like it or not. We’re not going to be very happy with you flirting with boys.”

“How many times to I have to tell you I wasn’t flirting.” Jangmi groaned.

“We do have to accept it some point, but just know we’re gonna give him a hard time no matter what.”

Jangmi nodded, wiping the tears which were now drying on her face. “I’m sorry for leaving you all and I’m sorry for giving the impression I was flirting, which I definitely was not.”

She stepped closer to them. “Group hug?” Jangmi asked, with her arms outstretched.

Her hyungs happily obliged, and she had never been so thankful for their warmth.

“Guys trust me. I don’t have a crush on Felix. Or Kevin for that matter. Honestly.”

Seungcheol moved her hair out of her face. “Do you have a crush on someone else?” He innocently joked.

“No.” She denied.

She totally did though.

Bishop and you were going to invite the whole club for a little get-together at the house. Food, drinks, and good company were on the menu. You hadn’t seen them for a while because of your pregnancy and the chaos that has been the club life the recent months. You were a few months pregnant now, and the boys haven’t seen how much your bump has grown.

Bishop wouldn’t let you move a muscle, so the only thing you were allowed to do was the shopping list, while he would be the one to buy everything in and set it all up. Everyone had their particular needs and flavors for what they liked, so the list grew with each member. Being the “mom” for them all, despite being younger than most, it was your job to keep track of what your precious children loved and wanted. Bishop was sitting at the table as you read up everything that would need to be bought.

“... beers for Ez, gummies for Letty, Steve likes strawberry ice cream, and of course, we can’t forget the chicken nuggets for Angel this time. He almost had my neck when I forgot last time.” You chuckled to yourself at the funny memory of Angel being a sad and pouty boy.

“That’s a lot of shit, sweetheart,” Bishop complained in a teasing manner. “Hey, you were the one that wanted to invite the kids over,” you hit his arm with the long list, “you know how grumpy they get when they don’t get their favorites.” “Yeah, let’s not relive the last get-together we had.” You both shudder at the memory of drama and crying.

The day of the house party had come, and you stood at the door as you greeted every one of them. Their faces lit up at the sight of your baby bump, highly visible. Words and kisses were left upon it by the men that would be there to protect and love the little joy that would be born in just a few short months. They could see how happy you and Bishop were, and that left a small print of light in their dark lives as part of the MC.

Everyone was out in the backyard enjoying themselves. The sun shone down, and the music from the stereo created a relaxed atmosphere. Bishop had just fired up the grill for the heaps of meat that was ready to be grilled and consumed by some hungry bikers. The drinks and snacks went faster than you could refill it.

Since it’s been forever since you saw everyone, you went around to catch up. They all felt safe and comfortable in your presence, so they became colossal blabber mouths when you approached them. Whether it was just a quick chat or asking for some much-needed advice, you were there for them. You were always like a fun, caring, and loving “mom” to the group. Always there for them whenever with whatever they needed. You took care of them and loved them when they hadn’t anyone else to go to.

Once the sun started to come down and everyone was packed with food in their bellies and sitting in groups having conversations, you approached your husband, who was sitting somewhere to the side just enjoying that for once, his brothers had a day with no worries in their minds. You sat down on the two-seater, legs draped over him as you took a moment to rest for a bit.

“Tired?” “Ugh, yes! You try playing mom with these children in men's bodies.” The comment made him laugh some. “It’s not easy being mom and dad,” he stated.

“Like, why did we decide to get pregnant when we already have like 10 of them.” “Sorry, sweetheart, but can I just quote you in saying: fuck Bishop, please finish inside me I need to feel you.” You threw a pillow at his shoulder, “shut up,” a smirk on your face in remembering how you ended up in this situation.

“Come here.” He opened his arms for you to get between. You shared a sweet kiss as you watched over your kids, all happy and content, while caressing the one that still wasn’t born.

good evening nsr community, i went through the ama from today and came back with an armful or two of lore. there’s a bunch more than last time, and i included bbj as well as the npcs. cozy up, check under the cut, and prepare for a long read. enjoy!

today's ama featured wan hazmer and daim dziauddin again, as well as concept artist ellie and animator ben fong.

BUNK BED JUNCTION (FT. DK WEST)

- mayday and zuke live in the sewers because they're an underground band. it's a pun - there were originally two variations of bbj leaving the sewers - one with mayday hi-fiving gigi (which had a 95% chance of happening), and one with zuke awkwardly fumbling and attempting to hi-five gigi (which had a 5% chance) - one of the inspirations for mayday and zuke were the two main characters of samurai champloo (zuke was jin, mayday was mugen) - someone asked about if the rest of the cast had their own shadow puppets. ben suggested a lemur for mayday, while ellie suggested a zucchini for zuke. she may have been joking. - mayday's guitar solos were done by different people, but zuke's drum solos were all done by bruno valverde. - zuke was the one who implemented the canister thing into mayday's guitar. - someone asked who of the cast are the introverts and who are the extroverts. mayday is an extrovert, zuke is an introvert. - the team does have a bit of lore for mayday and zuke and how they met, but they want to save it in case of a future project. - mayday was inspired by both genevieve from company of thieves and the unbreakable kimmy schmidt. - ben did the animation for mayday swinging the hammer in the workshop. - haz recalls seeing some fanart of mayday being brought up as a rich girl. he doesn't remember the artist, but he does like the idea. - the japanese version has zuke say he has a phd rather than a master's degree. this is apparently a mistake. - the pattern on zuke's pants was inspired by jolyne cujoh and prosciutto from jojo's bizarre adventure. - zuke's toilet seat collection came partially from a story from one of the environmental artists where one of their high school friends pranked another friend with a toilet seat. - zuke does a lot of reading and is naturally inquisitive about things like tech and mechanics. - dk west's shadow puppet abilities might run in the family, and zuke may have it as well. - both zuke and dk west are connected by percussion (zuke with the drums, west with the hand claps) - zuke and west weren't always designed to be related -- west was originally designed as "some guy who comes and goes," but was made into zuke's brother later on in production - dk west is an extrovert.

DJ SUBATOMIC SUPERNOVA

- djss' dj name is obviously a stage name, but the team didn't have a real name for him in the script or anything. - haz joked that his name is bob salad. that's not canon but from what i seen the chat loved it lol - haz brings up the symbolism of djss spinning the planets around himself and how it represents that he thinks of himself as the center of the universe. - ellie helped design the districts, and something she noted about dj's is that it's supposed to look the "slummiest" because he cares more about himself and less about things like blackouts. - dj had some lines cut from his boss fight. those lines? mini lectures towards bbj during every phase. they were cut because the team felt like they were too much for the game, but they want to share them one day. - daim says that dj could be either introverted or extroverted becuase of how much time he spends alone looking at the stars. - dj was never planned to have an approach segment, but funk fiction wasn't told that, so he made him an approach theme anyway. - dodo ice pops are traffic light flavoured, which is a popular ice cream in malaysia. it's strawberry, pineapple, and lime flavored.

SAYU AND THE NERD SQUAD

- three of sayu's creators were based on staff members at metronomik. remi (voiced by ben) was based on one of the programmers and one of the environmental artists (ellie calls him "the lovechild of two dudes"), tila was based on (and voiced by) ellie herself, and dodo was based on danish mak (another environmental artist who also voices him). - sofa wasn't based on anyone in particular, he was more of a "general otaku guy" according to ellie (though haz joked that ellie could just say he was based on him). - dodo is daim's favorite npc -- he also designed him! - sayu was ellie's favorite character to design. she loves drawing mermaids. - the progression in sayu's fight where you go deeper into the "ocean" is supposed to be a metaphor for going deeper into the internet/the deep web. - ellie suggested that if sayu were to have a shadow puppet, it would be a cat. - as for the introvert/extrovert debate, daim says sayu is technically comprised of 4 introverts. sayu herself is the extrovert mask they wear. - sayu's ahoge is a submarine periscope. remi looks through it in one of the cutscenes. - sayu's not a mech. she's remotely controlled by her creators from their computer room. - the backstory between remi and tila is meant to show that artists can come from all sorts of backgrounds.

YINU AND MAMA

- yinu's promotional video was one of the first ones done before they brought in lzbros, so it originally looked different from how it looks in the game now. - yinu's mother's eyes are yellow because she spends most of the fight focusing on yinu (who is mainly yellow). when her eyes go blank white, it represents that she's momentarily forgotten what she loves the most. when her eyes become yellow again after the fight, it means she's remembered yinu and her piano playing. - the way ellie describes natura is that yinu is a plant and her mother is very protective of her, and one of the distinctive features is that there are a lot of domes with plants inside, particularly on the roofs of the houses. - yinu's commercial was not intended to reference little miss fortune. the commercial was shown in 2018, while LMF came out a year later. - yinu's mom turning into a giant tree monster isn't exclusive to her just being angry at bbj. apparently the whole plant thing runs in the yinu family.

1010

- 1010's concept as a boy band had been around since before the team started production, but they were the last to be fully designed -- their designs weren't finalized until way later on. - 1010 were ellie’s least favorite characters to design. she doesn't like drawing guys OR robots. - 1010's early designs had them wearing tuxedos. - 1010 do have memories. - the inspiration for the butt plates came from one of ben's gundam figures from his collection in the metronomik office. thanks ben. - ellie's favorite member of 1010 is purl-hew/blue. - eloni/green is apparently the rapper of the group. - the jingle you hear from the carousel in metro division is a carnival remix of 1010's boss theme. - the numbers underneath 1010's names on the autographs are completely random.

NEON J

- neon j is a dancer. daim explains that in addition to being in the navy, dance has always been his true passion. - in the final phase of 1010's fight, he was originally supposed to control the dance moves of the factory as he was fighting you, but it was cut due to limited resources. - daim designed neon j based on ellie's designs for 1010. - neon j's factory's dance moves were all animated by ben -- no mocap needed. the factory was also his favorite thing to animate. - daim says that "neon j is to tatiana as soundwave is to megatron." basically he is extremely loyal to tatiana. - neon j was one of earliest members of nsr. - neon j seeing 1010 as his sons wasn't planned, but daim loves the concept so much that he could see it being canon. - daim says neon j's brain is "probably" still inside the monitor head. somehow. - neon j is an extrovert. - haz likes the idea of neon j being blind and using his sonar to "see" things. ben joked that the screen worked like giant glasses. - neon j originally had red dots that would pop up on his face when the sonar moved by that were meant to represent acne, and that would've been the reason why he's mostly behind the scenes.

EVE

- in mayday's side of the room when eve splits up bbj, the hands all over the walls are meant to be there to show how eve is angrier at mayday than she is at zuke. - the time signature for the music in mayday's room during the fight is 6/8, whereas in zuke's room it's 4/4. - ellie suggested a platypus shadow puppet for eve. the rest of the team seems to be on board. - eve was ben's least favorite character to animate. he said he struggled with animating her dance moves because it was something he'd never done before, and he still doesn't think he did a good enough job. - eve was born with her split skin tone. - apparently eve's near scrapping had something to do with costs. haz was the one who stopped it from happening. - eve's outfit was partly inspired by beyonce, while her jacket was partly inspired by ariana grande. the team took some inspiration from bjork, as well. - the sleeves on eve's jacket were apparently limbs at one point. - eve is an introvert.

NPCS/OTHER CHARACTERS

- part of tatiana's symbolism is how she used to be a rock star, but her flame/passion slowly burned away, and now she's just a rock, referencing how she was literally on fire as the rock star kul fyra, but now looks burnt out. - daim thinks kliff is older than tatiana, probably over 50. - in addition to the neon j dance lore mentioned above, kayane rambling about neon j after the 1010 fight was supposed to be connected to her watching neon j dance. - ben and haz's favorite npc is mia, and ellie's is dj zam. - dj zam was inspired by one of ellie's college friends, who she says "makes you feel comfortable to be around". - ellie thinks dj zam's neck tattoo says "i love mom". - amal the unicorn was inspired by lady amalthea from the 80's animated film "the last unicorn". he was originally written to be a real talking unicorn, but it was changed partially because his horn wasn't in the right spot on his head. - zed was based on game designer dzaid and has hyperacusis, a hearing disorder that makes it difficult to deal with everyday sounds. - yiruk's name is an anagram of kiryu, the protagonist of the yakuza games. - chef sunshine's design is a homage to julia child. she originally had a bigger physique, but was changed to match lylia's bubbly performance.
