Gimme some of that cold cash I want to stuff it in my couch C'mon, bring me those big stacks I need them bricks to build my house Give me all of that, all of that 'til the ATM runs out If money can't buy happiness Then why is it so fabulous?

from "Money" by Poppy, for the song chorus meme. Good luck ;)

The party has been in full swing for several hours by this point, and the sun has long since set outside the opulent mansion Spencer finds himself in. People are laughing and chattering, milling about and getting to know each other, gloating about their wealth and accomplishments. This kind of place isn’t exactly Spencer’s scene, to put it lightly--every over-the-top boast grates on his ears, and the faux politeness coming from the ‘old money’ in the crowd is getting on his last fucking nerve.

Spencer would never claim to not give a shit about money, nor will he deny that his work has made him a wealthy man. While his work is unorthodox and, legally speaking, mostly made up of under-the-table deals, he’s put in the time and dedication to get where he is now. Every cent Spencer has he fucking earned, and it all goes to good use. He’s never been the type to hoard money for the sake of it, nor does he particularly enjoy flaunting it.

However, things weren’t always that way. Spencer grew up just below the poverty line, in a shitty podunk town in middle of nowhere in the deep south. Even for the town he’s from, he was poorer than dirt, and it’s only been through his determination to--quite literally, in some cases--claw his way out of that situation that he is where he is now.

It’s been years since Spencer was poor, but he remembers it vividly, the memories hanging heavy over his shoulders. Seeing all the wealthy elite around him is getting to him, and he’s starting to regret agreeing to this in the first place. He barely holds back his sneers at their petty, pathetic little concerns, at their meaningless gossip and all the bullshit they spout.

Oh, didn’t you hear? Mister So-And-So is considering buying a second yacht, Miss Who-Fucking-Cares is upset her maid had the audacity to demand a living wage, blah, blah, blah. How fucking interesting. It’s nights like this that Spencer actually considers drinking, if nothing else than to numb his senses, but he manages to hold his resolve.

Perhaps it’s no surprise, then, that Spencer has found himself on one of the balconies, out of the way of the majority of the partygoers. He leans against the railing, overlooking the grounds below with steely blue eyes. The grounds themselves are nice and well-kept, and all Spencer can think is to wonder which poor, underpaid bastards did that.

A sigh escapes him, though it sounds more like a growl, and he runs a hand through his long hair, freeing it from his usual ponytail. His client, the lady running this party in the first place, had insisted that he come here tonight, that she would only be able to give him his payment if he came. Oh, of course, and he had to dress up.

It didn’t take long for him to realize she was more looking to use him as a conversation starter than anything, as the handsome stranger she could parade around to impress all of her stupid rich friends. The only thing keeping Spencer from either slitting someone’s throat or just fucking leaving is the payment she promised, but even that is starting to lose its appeal.

As he starts redoing his ponytail with methodical fingers, he allows another growl to escape his gritted teeth.

“This party fucking sucks,” he says aloud to the empty air, hardly caring at this point if anyone hears him.

ALSO CARROT CAKE IS SO GROSS. the frosting is the only good part. i also hate pies.. like banana cream pie and ... idk key lime pie is KIND OF tolerable but still . it would be a . this is the last food on earth i need to eat it to sustain myself type of meal. maybe i hate it because my sis and mom love carrot cake so they would get it a lot when i was growing up :((( i would say my fave desserts are molten lava cake, mexican styled fried ice cream, coconut milkshake, banh da lon, raspberry yogurt cheesecake (from mango mango)... before i used to be like obsessed w the most chocolatey desserts but as i've gotten older i've mellowed out w my taste!! also my sis got covid like 2 weeks ago and her and her gf were Feeling it.. they had a trip planned to jamaica too and luckily they tested negative days before the trip but it was cutting it close!! also i do have a radio show!! just through our campus' station! last semester it was highlighting bipoc artists so i played ppl from burna boy to khalil fong to ambré to youra!! but my friend asked to do it together next semester and idk how that's going to work because they like only listen to yt artists and like 2 genres......... but i couldn't say no because i didn't want to be mean...................... also regarding sm noise music... not to sound like an sm stan... but at least it's noise music done well 😫 a lot of groups don't know how to make noise music that is addicting yet not overwhelming but nct slay at doing so.. omg now i sound like an nctzen.. i swear exo and shinee r my faves 😭 but yeah i mean my favorite songs from nct are typically their slower rnb ones.. white night from nct 127 was my most played song of 2020! and teddy bear by nct dream is in my top ten for this year i think?? sorry for such a long message but i hope you've been well!!! also one last thing, do you listen to kard? they finally had a cb since jseph is done w his service but idk the title isn't hitting as it usually does... i really like jseph's part though!! - z anon

and here I am replying extremely late myself; let's count it even lmfao. I dropped yumi after it was clear they weren't gonna make babi endgame lmfaooo I'm petty like that. I only watched for jinyoung anyways :D top in link are still amazing but the whole plot is kinda dragging now, they really didn't need to make the whole killer/kidnapper plot line so convoluted. but glad that the shows you have kept up on have delivered for you! I'm in a drama drought again, I don't even really know what's coming out soon. ahhh congrats on the tattoos!! what are they of? that's quite the lineup you've got going, I'm excited for you! I hope you have (or had) fun and that you stay safe. I know so many people around me who are getting covid again; this pandemic won't ever leave us. omg I miss the day6 days. I still love them but I feel like the fandom is just not the same. wonpil is the sweetest always tho. one of my friends sent a video of him to me when she went to the concert and she was SOOOO CLOSE. VICTON my babiessss yes. my main is literally @/limsejun aldkfj that man is fineeee af (even if he is a weirdo; who we love). I will respect your choice on carrot cake (just know that it is wrong). pies are fine, I can get behind a good apple pie. I like key lime too. can't say I've had a lot of banana cream but I wouldn't say it's something I'd choose to eat. LMFAOO my friend is a NCT Stan so don't worry I'm used to it. noise music clearly caters to people (I just am not one of them). I will say that their choreography usually slaps tho. I haven't listened to anything from KARD in a hot minute so that includes their latest release. overall I'm doing well, I have one more week of this month's clinical rotation and then I have august as a break (technically supposed to be writing my thesis tho so it really a break?). I'm just glad to get this month over with bc it's not hard this rotation but it's just soooo slow and boring and I don't really feel like I'm learning anything which is the whole point of these rotations.
