Honoring the lives lost in the Atlanta shooting

Xiaojie 'Emily' Tan, 49

Tan, 49, was the mother of Jami Webb, a recent graduate from the University of Georgia. She was a licensed massage therapist and the owner of Young’s Asian Massage, along with other businesses in the area, including another spa and a tanning salon, according to state records. She was “the sweetest, most kind-hearted, giving, never-met-a-stranger person,” a friend told Atlanta’s WSB-TV. Just one day away from her 50th birthday when she was killed, according to USA Today, Tan was described by her daughter as thoughtful, devoted to her family, and looking forward to traveling in her retirement.

Hyun Jung Grant, 51

Hyun Jung Grant was a Korean immigrant who worked at Atlanta’s Gold Spa. Her son Randy Park, 23, shared a tribute to his mother on GoFundMe: He said his mother was a single parent who “dedicated her whole life to providing for my brother and I.” She loved dancing and sushi, according to Park, who told The Daily Beast, “She wasn’t just my mother. She was my friend.” Park, who now has to raise his brother alone, is not buying law-enforcement officials’ suggestion that the attack was motivated by a supposed sex addiction, not racism. “That’s bullshit,” he said.

Delaina Ashley Yaun Gonzalez, 33

Yaun Gonzalez, 33, was a mother of two — 13-year-old Mayson and 8-month-old Mia. She had worked all day on Tuesday at the Waffle House a few shops down from Tan’s spa business. She had been looking forward to having a relaxing night out with her husband, Mario Gonzalez, whom she married only last year, and the couple had reportedly never been to Young’s Asian Massage before. According to Fox 5 Atlanta, family members say that Mario Gonzalez, who survived the shooting, is “taking [the situation] hard.” Delaina Ashley Yaun Gonzalez’s friends and family have set up a GoFundMe to address her funeral costs.

Paul Andre Michels, 54

Michels, 54, was a handyman at Young’s Asian Massage and the owner of an electric company. He was only recently hired for the role and excited to take it on after looking for more work during the pandemic, according to a friend who spoke with CBS46. An army veteran originally from Detroit, Michels is one of nine siblings and is survived by his wife of more than two decades. In an interview with the Guardian, his brother John Michels emphasized his kindness. “He was just a regular guy, very good-hearted, very soft-natured,” he said, while noting that Michels had expressed an interest in getting involved in the massage business.

Yong Ae Yue, 63

A licensed massage therapist, she was laid off at the start of the pandemic last year and was excited to finally start shifts at the spa again, her son Elliott Peterson, 42, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Friday morning. Yue’s youngest child, Robert Peterson, 38, agreed, recalling their mother as a kind and deeply caring woman. If you stopped by her house, she’d sit you down, ask if you’d eaten, and then insist on a trip to H Mart grocery store so she could make a meal.

Daoyou Feng, 44

Daoyou Feng, 44, began working at Young’s Asian Massage in recent months, according to Tan’s friend Hynson. She was kind and quiet, he said. Her relatives could not be reached for comment.

Soon Chung Park, 74

Soon Chung Park, 74, was also a worker at an Atlanta spa. Her family didn’t respond when reached for comment. Park previously lived in New York, where she has relatives, her son-in-law, Scott Lee, told the New York Times. “She got along with her family so well,” Lee told the newspaper.

Suncha Kim, 69

Suncha Kim, 69, worked at one of the spas in Atlanta. Her family could not be reached for comment. Kim, a grandmother, was married for more than 50 years, a family member told the Times. She enjoyed line dancing and worked hard, the relative said.

Elcias Hernandez-Ortiz, 30

Hernandez-Ortiz, 30, was the only survivor of the victims who were shot on Tuesday, and he remains hospitalized for multiple gunshot wounds in his “forehead, throat, lungs and stomach,” according to the Washington Post. He was shot while standing outside in the shopping center where Young’s Asian Massage is located. “He came from nothing and has come a long way; that is why I have faith he will survive this,” his wife Flor Gonzalez told the Washington Post. Gonzalez has also set up a GoFundMe to help with the costs of Hernandez-Ortiz’s medical care.

[queen-lills]

Just got off a Facetime where my friend and I discussed the best ships and character on the 100 except she stopped watching it after season 2 and the only context she has for anything that happens afterwards comes from tiktoks.

It’s been a journey.

[queen-lills]

Thanks for 25 followers!! It means a lot!!

[queen-lills]

I believe there’s a field note that said that her family pulls pranks on each other a lot, so she is definitely a lot more mischievous than she lets on!

but shelby really is such a little prankster huh? like between “horny 4 xmas” and the cave thing with dot, when shelby lets loose she’s not much for one liners she’s all about the schemes

[queen-lills]

Dot in glasses fo today

Relating to the field note and fan art that Shannon reposted on her insta story:

DOT WITH GLASSES!!! I WANT!!!!

So many good headcanons!!

It makes my brain go brrrrr

[queen-lills]

Am i writing a deserted island dnd campaign because of the wilds? why yes i am, thank you for asking.

(Please help me, dming is so hard)

[queen-lills]

me, a lesbian, supportive of the guy group on the island/show, trying to understand how that makes me lesbophobic

[queen-lills]

men are not going to ruin the show, they are going to create more diverse representation and allow for more people to see themselves on screen. it’s so rare that so many people would be able to find a character that they identify with, so you should not be taking that chance away from someone else.

also, do not, i repeat DO NOT, spread hate to the actors. i don’t know if anyone has, but i would not put it pay some of the people in this fandom. those men are working and,as far as we know, are great people.

one more point, if you are one of the people who stan(ed) the dave goodkind rp account, then you do not get to complain about men in the show. you can not stan a romanticized version of a toxic and homophobic man, and then complain about the potential for a diverse and important group of men on the show.

[queen-lills]

lesbians, a well written and diverse group of guys in the show will not kill you because they're not taking away from the main girls in any way and we've been told this from the start

[queen-lills]

the wilds fans be like “i’m an intersectional feminist” and then won’t shut up about hating new male characters we know nothing about

[queen-lills]

How did Tumblr end up being the tamest part of the wilds fandom? That just doesn’t seem like it should add up.

[queen-lills]

Thinking about the fact that I promised my teacher that I would get a fish named Marcus after my old one died, and now that I’m obsessed with The Wilds it seems even more fitting.

[queen-lills]

Reblog if you say "fuck" more than 5 times a day.

[queen-lills]

I really wanna write fanfic, but I also think that I’m so bad at writing.

Like, I could come up with an entire fucking timeline, wonderful ideas, but execution? no ma’am. Not for me.

Thinking about the girls favorite school subjects instead of taking notes...

Leah:

English, obviously; however, she definitely gained a resentment towards it between Jeff and the island, and will only start to enjoy it again after processing everything that happened with him.

Toni:

This bitch is good at math and you can’t tell me otherwise. She won’t admit it, but she’s good at math, and since it’s easy for her, it’s her favorite. (she’s to competitive in gym for it to be her favorite)

Martha:

She probably takes an artistic elective and that’s her favorite. I was going to say history, but history is very altered and white washed(at least in the american school system, idk about in other places), so I think she wouldn’t enjoy it because of that.

Shelby:

She takes theater and loves it. This is basically canon. It’s how she can express herself without getting in trouble, because it’s just a character.

Rachel:

Unlike Toni, her competitiveness works in a way that gym could be her favorite class. She works against herself, not against others. She also sees athletics as being her thing, so she values it more than her other classes.

Nora:

She likes organic sciences and english. These are the two things that we see her take an interest in, and i think it makes sense. She enjoys literature and escaping from her troubles(hence why she takes on rachel’s problems) and the analysis that comes with both english and science.

Fatin:

Fatin’s favorite subject used to be orchestra, but as more pressure was put on her, it became more stressful. I think her favorite subject would change from year to year(or even semester to semester) depending on the teacher.

Dot:

Dot stumped me because she so busy that she doesn’t really have time for school. Because of this, i think her favorite would be gym. Hear me out: if her school is run like mine, you can choose different types of gym to take(single sports, team sport, etc). I think she’d choose weight lifting(we know she’s got muscles) and enjoy it because she could just tune out all of her other shit and lift.

This was really unnecessary, but my favorite hobby is tuning out my teacher, so enjoy.
