KIWI MUSIC NEWS: IDOL PROFILE SERIES !

[+ 500, -15] Wow! Yeonju is my favorite rapper and vocal in SP ! [+ 243,  - 5] Rebelle is lucky to have her, aren’t they?! [+ 225,  - 9] I can’t wait to see more of them - fighting!!

PROFILE !

FACECLAIM: kim jiyeon CHARACTER NAME: oh sohee STAGE NAME: n/a CHARACTER AGE: 18 COMPANY: SP Ent POSITION: lead rapper, lead vocal, maknae TIME WITH COMPANY: 4 years STRENGTHS: yeonju is a study in artifice— rather, she’s much like a chameleon in the way that she can switch up her demeanor at the drop of a hat. while she’d like to one day use her acting abilities in a drama or movie, she uses them mostly in her daily life in order to project a witty, lively image of herself on variety shows and interviews. she’s not naturally the funniest or most outspoken of her groupmates, but during filming, she observes the MCs and behaves in a way that will work well with the jokes and attitudes of the hosts. of course, as the latest addition to rebelle’s lineup, she wouldn’t have been included if she didn’t have something to bring to the team. while she’s no powerhouse vocal, yeonju’s voice is pleasant and has a distinctive tone. she can definitely hold her own during live performances, but she isn’t the first member most people think of when rebelle’s vocals are mentioned..  WEAKNESSES: yeonju is by no means a spectacular dancer. she’s not bad enough that she drags the team down, but she has no real groove as she dances. most of her time is spent in the dance practice rooms, not because she loves dance so much that she dedicates her day to it, but rather because it’s what she needs the most work on. she hates looking dramatically worse than her fellow members, so she practices and practices until she can exactly replicate the steps taught to her, but god knows she’ll freeze up when asked to do a freestyle dance. on variety shows and such, she’ll play off her rather lackluster dancing as comedy, but winces whenever she’s jokingly referred to as the dance hole; it frustrates her to no end that dancing doesn’t just come naturally to her.

BIOGRAPHY !

tw: eating disorders

seoul, 1998. while the hanja in her name is yeon (嬿; to be beautiful) and ju (晭; sunshine), it can’t be a coincidence that little hwang yeonju’s name is a homophone with the korean word for a performance. umma is an ordinary housewife with superstar dreams folded into the pockets of her apron. appa is a tired office worker with premature smile lines and deep dimples that only flash at his two girls at home.

she’s told she looks like a doll, and like a doll she feels, indeed. yeonju sits pretty for mama’s friends as they all coo over her big eyes and rosy cheeks. “you should get her into child modelling,” one of the women says, and yeonju’s mother claps her hands together with delight.

yeonju gets through her first modeling gig easily enough. it’s not hard for an energetic six year old to wear a pretty dress and pose for the friendly ahjussi behind a camera. her mother’s smile never falters as she watches her daughter start down a path she always dreamed of taking herself.

she doesn’t know what singing lessons have to do with modeling, but yeonju goes to each session dutifully. “do your best,” her mother says sternly. “i’m paying a lot of money for these lessons. you’ll thank me later.” little does she know that her mother has her whole life planned ahead of her.

“it’s been a good run,” yeonju tells herself sadly as the modeling jobs slowly stop coming in. “six years is long enough, right?” her mother always told her that once she gained popularity as a model, yeonju could switch gears and become a ‘real celebrity.’ and god, for a girl raised on pop culture and the glittering dream of fame, she really wanted to become a real celebrity. on the fourth month marking this twelve year-old’s unemployment, her mother’s mouth settles into a hard line. cold eyes appraise yeonju’s frame, and she clicks her tongue. “maybe,” her mother hums. “maybe you’re not getting jobs anymore because you’re a little, well, fat.” yeonju looks down at her stomach. she’s never thought she was particularly chubby, but now that umma mentions it, she starts noticing how her thighs touch and how her middle finger and thumb barely touch around her wrist. she’s never hated looking at a mirror so much in her life.

she spends her days dieting and measuring her waist, dieting and measuring her waist. her mother used to complain when yeonju didn’t finish all of her rice, but now the girl barely even chokes three spoonfuls down. the mirror simply reflects yeonju’s skinny frame, but all she sees is imaginary fat and the need to get rid of it.

“have you ever considered becoming an idol?” a man asks her on the street one day. yes, yes she has, but she’s not about to geek out to a complete stranger. yeonju nods her head once, and the man pulls out a business card from his wallet. sp entertainment, it reads, and her eyes grow wide. she runs home and shows her mother, who’d abandoned hope for the celebrity future she’d so meticulously planned out. it’s not CEL, but it’s a chance to get back on track.

a year into trainee life, yeonju works harder than anyone to make up for her lack of extraordinary talent. in the halls of the sp building, where she spends more time than she does at home, she realizes that living by her mother’s blueprint robbed her of her own identity. yeonju learns that it’s easier to fake a personality than it is to fake talent.

one day, she wakes up in a hospital bed, an iv hooked up to her thin arm. nothing the doctors tell her make any sense until she hears the word anorexia. “oh no,” she tries to explain. “i’m just on a diet, you see, i’m a trainee–” her sentence fizzles in her throat as she catches sight of the haggard stranger in the mirror, her skin stretched too taut across her bones. she’s only fourteen years old but she looks far too frail for her age. “if you don’t get help, i’m afraid you won’t be able to keep being a trainee or debut,” the doctors say. and that scares her more than the skeleton in the mirror.

at first, it’s hard watching her frame slowly fill out again. a voice in her head tells her that she’s getting fat again, that no one wants to see a fat idol. but then she begins relishing the way the curve of her waist flows into her hips, the pink that slowly returns to her cheeks. yeonju feels prettier than ever.

in 2014, sp announces out of the blue that they’ll be debuting a brand new girl group, and yeonju can’t help but feel a bit expectant. after all, she’s got the face, can create the personality, and, well, she’s working on the talent, but it’s definitely there.

when the final lineup for rebelle is announced, she’s got half a mind to leave the company.

2015. yeonju’s only sixteen, but she’s mentally prepared herself to be one of the eldest members in the group by the time she finally gets to debut. getting cut from rebelle was like a cup of water splashed in her face, and she realized that she’d have to train with a vengeance if she ever wanted to make the final lineup the next time.

it turns out she doesn’t have to wait to be included in the next girl group lineup; she is the final lineup. sp ushers her into the group she was once snubbed from, making her the youngest member. netizens love to hate her, making up nasty rumors about her late addition into the group, but yeonju laughs it off. after all, at the end of the day, she’s finally a self-fulfilling prophecy.

[+ 500, -15] Wow! Sohee is my favorite vocalist in SP ! [+ 243,  - 5] Rebelle is lucky to have her, aren’t they?! [+ 225,  - 9] I can’t wait to see more of them - fighting!!

PROFILE !

FACECLAIM: kim sejeon CHARACTER NAME: oh sohee STAGE NAME: n/a CHARACTER AGE: 21 COMPANY: SP Ent POSITION: vocal/rap/dance TIME WITH COMPANY: 1 year STRENGHTS: her ambition is her biggest strength. sohee stops at nothing and no one to get what she wants. she is focused and doesn’ let anything get in the way of her goal. once she sets something in her mind, it’s almost impossible to make her stop, and she’ll work hard to achieve it. though her “working hard” can be a little unusual. she is also a smart girl, can find a way out of most troubles she gets herself in. resourceful, thinks outside of the box. has a charisma that lures fans in, makes her an easy guest on variety shows and alike. enjoys the fame and the attention enough to make her to keep her place in it.  WEAKNESSES: sohee is a spoiled little girl, wants things her way and no other way. that makes her relationship with other people strained to say the least. if things are going in the direction she wants she is pleasant enough,but as soon as there’s a shift she already starts getting insufferable. it’s hard for her to work on a team, which makes her place in rebelle shaky to say the least. sohee is also a selfish girls, puts what she wants in first place, which means that when she is casted in dramas the effort she puts in group activities decreases by a lot, and even if she ried at first to fake that she cares to her band mates, they are in a stage that she won’t even bother doing it anymore.

BIOGRAPHY !

born in seoul, oh sohee is the child of a rich family. she grows up spoiled and ruined, an only child. goes to the best schools and graduates with flying colors. once it’s time for her to go to college, she starts majoring in fine arts.

as talented as she is in painting, sohee’s objective is to be famous. a celebrity. she wants to be an actress. she goes to acting school, tries a to be casted in drama here and there with her father’s connections to no avail. in the end, her father, a friend of sp ent.’s ceo arranges a way of her getting into the company. but sohee has no talent to speak for herself.

training is hard and arduous. she tries, but not as much as she should. when she is put in rebelle, it’s mostly because of her father’s connection in the company than anything else.

she barely sings in the songs and barely passes when it comes to the choreo. the one thing that saves her in the group is her charisma: sohee is in the path of becoming the nation’s little sister, all bright and funny; a 4d, tomboy-ish personality type that is successful in reality shows.

all a lie, of course. anyone who knows her better knows that the true sohee is spoiled, bratty, adamant, rude. but she can act her part well and brings attention to the group.

her main goal is acting, though, rebelle is just the first stone for her to achieve her dream. her first casting went well, and she got a lot of traction with her first drama, playing the main male lead sister, but her next drama failed considerably. she got a lot of bad reviews.

is trying to get cast again, seeing how it goes. meanwhile struggling with rebelle’s next comeback. she couldn't’ care less but has to keep it up because she is not even barely famous enough to leave.

[+ 500, -15] Wow! MIZ is my favorite soloist in KWN ! [+ 243,  - 5] KWN is lucky to have her, aren’t they?! [+ 225,  - 9] I can’t wait to see more of them - fighting!!

PROFILE !

FACECLAIM: won minji CHARACTER NAME: kwon halla STAGE NAME: MIZ CHARACTER AGE: 22 COMPANY: KWN POSITION: soloist (anda), producer, lyricist TIME WITH COMPANY: n/a (upcoming) STRENGHTS: creatively, halla is ingenious. courtesy of her parents genetics and their encouragement of her passions and pursuits, she has mountain-shaking talent when it comes to the actual creation and production of music. her brain is hardwired with melody and rhyme, and for several years halla has been a respected producer and coveted writer in the khh and r&b scene. as her time in show me the money has displayed, she maintains an exceptional ability to battle on the spot and with prepared time. her vocals are also strong, and her eye for music video and live stage aesthetics is an asset. her natural ease and confidence makes her good for variety in a limited sense, but also a danger. WEAKNESSES: her work and performances are not anywhere near as kitschy as idol work, despite the commercial success that brings. her dedication to her art is manic, and while she can meet deadlines, many of these have been done by a string of all-nighters the week before it’s supposed to be finished that planned out preparation as she “follows the muse,” rather than making a schedule. she’s nontraditional and nonconformist, which, while it was in keeping with her previous crew is not how most prefer to work. her easy tongue and quick mind can unfortunately get her in trouble quickly when there’s a camera in front of her, making variety and other media a potential liability.

BIOGRAPHY !

her childhood is brightly coloured canvases and cigar smoke in the air. her mother wears silk robes and makes herself a butterfly, her father dances through the kitchen and makes himself into her breeze. they are the artists whose medium is never just one thing: they turn life into experimental work

her bedroom has paint on the walls, birds drawn in marker and hymns on the door. halla is the product of love, truth, beauty, freedom, the daughter of neo-bohemia. she is told to live as she creates – freely

it helps that she’s made like art, with her plush lips and the drastic curve of her body. mathematicians get hard trying to figure out the angle of waist to hip and mouth to neck, and they still never quite find the answer

like her parents before her and their parents before them, she’s a muse and artist both, and the fall she takes with ease into a crowd and career is a lot more like a jump. 

in this day and age, they’re the revolutionaries and the rebels: the boys with tattoos and too much to say, brash in their mouth and on their skin. they’re famous and she’s beautiful and they make a good match, them with their creative minds and her with her artistic heart. sure she fucks them sometimes, but business and pleasure have never mixed so well.

she’s a goddamn innovation, the way she moves, talks, thinks. at first it’s everything behind the camera and between the glass and microphone, writing the lyrics and ensuring they come out the right way. and shit, she’s good; fuck, she’s a genius. with her body she works wonders but with her mind she works miracles.

the fame means nothing, the money is something but not nearly everything. halla only wants to live as she always has, with the capability of doing anything she likes at any time. some call that hedonism – she names it freedom. but when the boys in the snapbacks and inked fingers tell her it’s her time, she doesn’t protest. she’s always been made to make art, and now is her time

the crowd that knows her isn’t the mainstream, but it is unified and full of respect. she’s got men that sell out stadiums around her and the shit they make together has no compromise

she signs on to the show because the boys rile her up, because it sounds like fun, because she likes recognition, and her face-name-reputation starts ebbing towards the front lines

and she keeps on like she always has; borne of music and independence. how misplaced a thing, how large a liability, in a world like this.

KIWI MUSIC NEWS: IDOL PROFILE SERIES !

[+ 500, -15] Wow! Jiyeon is my favorite soloist in CEL ! [+ 243,  - 5] CEL is lucky to have her, aren’t they?! [+ 225,  - 9] I can’t wait to see more of them - fighting!!

PROFILE !

FACECLAIM: im jinah CHARACTER NAME: han jiyeon STAGE NAME: n/a CHARACTER AGE: 25 COMPANY: CEL POSITION: solo (taeyeon) TIME WITH COMPANY: 12 years STRENGTHS: Perhaps even moreso than any outright talent, Jiyeon’s greatest strength lies in her experience, preparation, and ability to lead - her own career or others. Though her previous group has disbanded in dramatic fashion, there is very little that either CEL or her own internal coachings have not readied her for after over a decade of training. Calm, collected, eloquent, and dogged, when it comes to anything from choreography to accepting awards, Jiyeon never falters. Though Jiyeon’s voice should not be discounted, and is a genuine gem: originally scouted for the impressive nature of it as a young teenager, she has a talent that has always left every hard-nosed critic and teacher wanting to bottle and sell it. But while her voice may appeal to the critic, it’s her looks that appeal to the public, and that’s what matters to CEL – that the masses want to break off and take home a piece of her. WEAKNESSES: Her commitment to hard work can hinge on compulsive and unrealistic; her expectations for herself are perpetually too high, and she’s made herself sick on more than one occasion pushing her body too hard. Particularly with the stigma surrounding mental illness and medication in the country, Jiyeon’s careful managing of her OCD and anxiety over the years has grown harder. While in her younger years her anxiety was minimal, the more her obsessive-compulsive disorder demands of her, the worse her anxiety becomes. Though she is earnestly still young, even her age is a weakness in the ever-youthful industry that is KPOP. She has entirely no skill in rapping, and will try to refuse even attempting it on variety shows for the sake of embarrassment. Her variety appearances themselves are moderate but nothing exceptional; high ratings will arise simply from her name attached to any particular show, but she struggles with becoming goofy enough for many audiences.

BIOGRAPHY !

This is how you begin, like a start to a fairytale that should never be told, the ones with knights that never arrive and princesses that sheath their own hair with the tooth of the dragon keeping them.

i. she could claim a birth of immaculate conception because for all that her father is not there, it’s imaginable that jiyeon’s birth came from her mother and something she dreamed up. maybe in that story she would be a girl born from a peony mid-winter, shaking white limbs unfurling like petals - in that tale, jina might have come out fully formed, dressed in  long raven hair, singing a sweet tune to welcome herself into the world. but in this one, the one we have now, she is as raw and young as the rest of the babes that take their first breath screaming.

ii. her mother loves her enough for two, and that’s good, because some nights they survived on love alone - she parceled out pieces of her heart when there was not enough food, serving it out  on a silver platter to her only daughter and wiping her mouth when she done. when jiyeon is old enough she offers her soul in return, breaking it in half and half and half to hand back, and in this way she is also holy. this is the body and the spirit, the bread and the wine.

iii. it’s not as bad as it might seem. their house is full of laughter and love and the magic that comes from one night onlys, but in this home every night is one night for someone, so this is what jiyeon is weaned on. her mother’s business is a success because she knows how to make a home, even if it means sharing her own: so here, the young girl meets honeymooners and old lovers and older souls, and like a ritual they turn to her mother every night, drunk on good food and warmth to say: what a beautiful girl. what a serious child.

and when she plays, they say nothing at all.

(they are too busy listening).

iv. it’s starts as much a duty as anything else: changing the sheets, putting new flowers on the table, bringing breakfast in bed to the new lovers with a late checkout – and then performance. her delicate frame on the bench in the morning and at night, fingers fluttering across black and white keys like they never learned how not to fly. her voice comes with it.

like so many other things, jiyeon’s mother had been the first one to teach it to her, cupping her tiny hands beneath hers as she held her child in her lap and played melodies. jiyeon loves it, and so she sacrifices. like every great queen, she bows her head and picks up the weight of a kingdom so that her kin can have more; lessons on tuesdays and thursdays, a shining black thing sitting in the living room by next christmas.

she loves it, it’s true; jiyeon does it for herself. but she also do it for her. because even while she is young, young lady is only a term of convenience.  she was always a lady first, young only by circumstance.

v. everything happens at once. that’s the way it is with genuine surprises, the swing of one act to the next, the gate of destiny’s door vaulting open and knocking over objects in the room with its sudden wind. he’s only another customer when he comes in the door, albeit he is fixed with a soju-eyed stare and half a suit (no more, no less) that could buy and sell the roof and walls around them. a funny man, unsure of where he is before he sleeps and unhappy with the location when he awakes – he grumbles into his coffee and wears his sunglasses inside, rubbing his temples as he makes phone calls at the breakfast table.

she plays for him, like any other day.

he breaks his glasses when she start to sing. they fall right off his nose, and jiyeon stops to pick them up. she says sorry as your fingers smudge the lenses.

he only smiles.

then makes another phone call.

vi. he’s a mouthful, that’s what han jiyeon learns. he’s got a too-important job at a too-big place with too-famous people, and shae can barely get her jaw around it all. but she does, because she has always been a sensible girl, and she’s got strong bones, teeth, stomach. he brings her into the center of the room with a hand on your shoulder, ready to exchange her for her weight in gold in front of a room of god-men hidden behind their desks.

they place her on the scales, pull of the veil and open her mouth -

        and rejoice when she tips the whole thing over.

v. but they deal in the glory, she is still left to the grit and gore. in the first year, she is younger than most of the lot, and they look for a reason to hate her. they whisper about favouritism - they see the man with the half-suit and broken glasses smile at the girl with ivory-etched features and take her high head and upright chin as a sign that she hasn’t been forced to work to the marrow with them.

when that is over, she grows too beautiful for her own good. it is not her fault; none of it is. but if jiyeon were to live this life over again luckier, she would do well not to be so lovely. perhaps then he never would have seen her. men come for the girl in packs, their tails hidden up their jackets and their fangs tucked away as they try to paw at her. no one tells her beware of men, no one hands out a red cape to get through the woods unharmed, and so this is a lesson she learns the hard way, heart-first. he is the king of the country and he reaches down to pluck jiyeon from the crowd like he is a god. she thinks he might be. at the same time, they start to call her royalty, and with this man pressing to her back, she think she might just be a princess. she is ready for it, but too young for him.

everything breaks apart at the same time.

vi. it takes almost half jiyeon’s life to finally have one.

she hides her mind away and swallows her pain in the name of perfection. it makes her ache from the inside out, and she is starting to twitch.

some men mistake her beauty as consumability, and they try to lick the salt off her neck without permission.

there is more of jiyeon in this building than anyone else: she has left more behind, shed more skin and sweat, turned these rooms into walls that spit out her dna. it’s a decade of uncertainty, hard work that feels like a snake eating its own tail.

she is still young when she makes the cut for the group of the generation, the collaboration of luck and talent that brings her to the forefront of a nation, but it doesn’t feel like it.

it’s a chemical madness, what arises, though like all things chemical the brewing takes time. a year of the average, and then the spectacular bursts across the sky: beautiful multicolour fireworks: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

it’s all flash, flash, flash, cameras rolling, people screaming. the charts are topped and then toppled over. the critics are harsh and the crowds are adoring. they’re legends, these girls. they remake the music scene, but by the law of the world it remakes them also. and after years, after a meteoric rise, it comes to pass that jiyeon is the star that’s meant to post itself the highest in the night sky.

her time comes.

vii. it’s the best fucking thing she’ll ever do.

KIWI MUSIC NEWS: IDOL PROFILE SERIES !

[+ 500, -15] Wow! Jessie is my favorite dancer and vocal in CEL ! [+ 243,  - 5] CEL is lucky to have him, aren’t they?! [+ 225,  - 9] I can’t wait to see more of them - fighting!!

PROFILE !

FACECLAIM: lu han CHARACTER NAME: xiao jiexi / jessie xiao STAGE NAME: jessie CHARACTER AGE: 25 COMPANY: CEL POSITION: main dance & vocal for bionic TIME WITH COMPANY: 7 years STRENGHTS: jessie’s major strength has always been his outgoing personality. it’s led to a decent enough variety presence, but more importantly, the title of a stan attractor. ridiculous expression, the ability to make an idiot out of himself on live television (while still managing to look halfway decent in the process) and then promptly laugh about it has endeared him to many. he’s surprisingly quick on the take when it comes to dance, and while he’s not a vocal powerhouse, there’s a pleasant enough tone to his singing. the fact that he’s multilingual is something that cel (sometimes) takes advantage of as well. WEAKNESSES: jessie’s perfectly average at a lot of idol talents, but that’s the extent of it. sure he’s actually pretty good at dancing, but another dancer's better. his vocals are nice, but he’s overpowered by some of the stronger vocalists. he’s an honest to god awful actor, even when he was supposed to be playing up the demure fairy prince persona they gave him during his debut -- he promptly fucked that up and they had to run with it (though it still hasn’t curbed the marketing team or fans that still do it to him). he has a bad habit of taking everything to heart, and while he’s decent at covering it up, it takes its toll and affect the work he puts out. he’s also absolute trash at remembering pre-planned interview questions so they often give him packets of written down words or flashcards if they really need him to say something. staying on task when it comes to interviews is also something of a difficulty, and he’ll often get distracted or trail off mid-answer, especially when he’s stressed or nervous.

BIOGRAPHY !

– jessie was born in new jersey, usa. his father moved his wife there for a job, and that’s where jessie was raised. the environment he grew up in was fairly well off, though his father always handled jessie strictly, constantly pointed out that he wanted jessie to achieve more with his own life.

– he was never the most academically gifted, and the only subjects he really had a knack for picking up in school were languages, grew up bilingual knowing mandarin and english. his parents often spoke mandarin in the house, and he habitually got sent back to beijing to live with his grandmother over the summers in punishment for bad grades (he's a surprisingly good cook due to her lessons when he stayed there). – this was probably due to a combination of reasons. realistically, jessie just had little interest and didn't have a natural propensity toward academia, but a large part of him consistently ranking at the bottom of the class and failed report cards was due to untreated adhd, he wasn't diagnosed until his junior year of high school. – while his father had always been incredibly disappointed in him because of this (and, to be perfectly honest, a little cruel. jessie's been called stupid in more ways than he thought were possible, and he hates being called it, even if it is true), the diagnosis and meds meant that he could potentially push himself into a low tier university and try to haul himself back into what a good son should be and subsequently get a good career (or, that was what his parents told him). jessie opted out of the game plan by chance. he tagged along with a friend who wanted to audition for cel’s american auditions, and while he was there one of the talent scouts urged him to audition as well despite the fact that jessie didn’t think he was talented in much of anything (aside from maybe skateboarding and getting a good deal on pot). – has rejection-sensitive dysphoria which branches from adhd, and he takes the route of people pleaser/chameleon. he hates making his friends angry, and will do almost anything to ensure others' needs are met, even at the expense of his own. can present with atypical depression if one doesn't know this about him, but usually he tries to keep those emotions hidden from others, largely due to him being paranoid he'll lose friends or fans if it's out in the open. he hates the idea that he could be a burden on anyone. – jessie thrives on attention, which is perhaps the main drive in his daredevil-ish personality and the reason he tried to give the whole idol life a go. he'll do nearly anything on a dare. bet him 10,000 won and he'd probably jump out of a second story window. this paired with the fact that he's a bit of an adrenaline junkie means he gets up to terribly ill-planned ideas on the regular. he has little to no impulse control, which only exacerbates the problem. – has self harm scars on his upper thighs from when he was in high school, they're largely faded and hard to pick out unless your know they’re there and manage to get him out of his pants (there aren't really enough to make it incredibly obvious, but if you're close enough it's easy to spot). – he's charismatic, outgoing, and painfully friendly. the type of person who will meet you for the first time and talk to you like a long lost friend. – that being said, he doesn't have the best filter, though his intentions are usually well-meaning. he's not the most clever, or most astute, but he's genuine and largely sincere. – all things considered, he took to the idol life decently enough. but it all kind of fell apart when the three other chinese members in the group broke their contracts to go back to china. jessie has no interest of pursuing a career there, and has never actually lived there past extended stays cel sends him on, or summers spent with his grandmother. if he went anywhere, it’d be back to new jersey. but he’s not secretly rich, so he stays with bionic. even if the chat boards are filled with fans calling him a traitor and telling him to leave, too. even if it fucks with his head and makes him feel isolated. he deals with it by not dealing at all, plasters a smile on his face and tucks his depression deep down in the cavern of his chest. he’s had a whole lot of practice with that growing up, so it seems rote at this point to keep trudging along while people constantly reject him for being him.
