Stray kids for Harper's bazaar
Tumblr media
Stray kids cut interview
Tumblr media
[Bang Chan]
Q: Who eats the most?
A: I.N!
Q: Who has the strongest mentality?
A: All of us!
Q: Who is the most indecisive?
A: It must be me! I decide what to buy when I go shopping, but I spend three hours not being able to decide. And I end up not being able to buy anything, hahaha. But when I go shopping with Felix, I don’t hesitate. Felix is persuasive and he always encourages me like, “That’s great, you look good in that.” So, I go like, “yeah?” and buying things becomes really easy.
Q: Who relies on you the most?
A: Felix, perhaps? But we have a good relationship where all the members can rely on each other. As we have spent so much time together, we have very deep ties, and we believe in each other. We are such a great team!
Editor’s NOTE
He really takes control of the conversation! He even answered in Japanese to some questions. He has such an elegant and gentlemanly behavior and has an extremely great communication skills.
Tumblr media
[Lee Know]
Q: Of all the members who has changed the most since you first met?
A: At the beginning, I had an impression that it might be difficult to get along with Bang Chan as he seemed dignified as a leader, but now he has more affection to SKZ than anyone and is very charming man.
Q: Who is the best listener?
A: It may change according to the situation, but I think Changbin listens to everyone a lot. So does Hyunjin and so does HAN, oh that means we all listen to one another really well.
Q: What is the chemi you cannot resist recently?
A: It’s Seungmin and I.N. They both love coffee but they promised not to drink it for their health. But in fact, they are drinking coffee behind their back. It’s funny and it’s sweet to see them like that.
Q: Who relies on you the most?
A: My cat that I have at home.
Editor’s NOTE
During the recording of 25 Questions, Lee Know was speaking fluent Japanese. He was so caring. When Changbin was about to digress from the main subject, he warns Changbin like a big brother, and he was making a nice atmosphere. We gave them some instant tonkotsu ramen to enjoy back home, Lee Know was so delighted.
Tumblr media
[Changbin]
Q: Of all the members who has changed the most since you first met?
A: I think Seungmin. I first thought he was gracious and neat, but actually he is the most mischievous and unique.
Q: Who is the best listener?
A: I talk to all the members and every one of them listens to each other very well. So, it is difficult to pick one.
Q: Please tell me about hidden faces of the members that only you know.
A: When we were living in the same dorm, I heard someone calling me. I peeked into his room, but he was fast asleep. Lee Know speaks very clearly even in his sleep and that was very funny.
Q: Who relies on you the most?
A: All the members younger than myself!
Editor’s NOTE
Changbin came in to see other members’ interviews and shooting sessions for a while. As he received the gaze from the production staff he had met for the first time, he was a bit shy at the beginning, but all through the shoot, he spoke to the members, and really set the mood for 25 Questions recording. He is the unsung hero of the team. Whenever he says something funny, or when other members react to him funnily, he keeps cool. But before you know he is always in the center of the circle. That is the charm he has, and I was drawn in.
Tumblr media
[Hyunjin]
Q: Of all the members who has changed the most since you first met?
A: I think Seungmin. At first, he was a no-joker, serious guy but I think he is the strangest person of all the members. He really is, strange!
Q: Who is the best listener?
A: I think I.N. Whenever I talk with him, he is so warm and makes me calm. He is so therapeutic to be with.
Q: Please tell me about hidden faces of the members that only you know.
A: HAN and I.N like drawing and they often paint still life in oils. They paint characters so well and they show the drawings at STAY’s events.
Q: What is the chemistry you cannot resist recently?
A: It’s Changbin and Seungmin. Seungmin teases Changbin first and it starts from there. Then Changbin gets angry at Seungmin and Seungmin laughs at Changbin. It’s always the same and they love it (lol).
Editor’s NOTE
He has the most beautiful pose, and it was extremely difficult to choose which picture to post. You might think whoever is good at dance performance maybe good at posing, but it is not true. Whether you zoom in or zoom out, Hyunjin has wide variations of poses and has a knack for making the clothes look better. Every time he gets one step closer to success, his parents tell him “I believed in you”. Watching the shooting session and interviewing him, I felt that with that self-esteem, his innate ability to express himself will bloom even more.
Tumblr media
[HAN]
Q: Who is the no.1 trendsetter?
A: I think Seungmin sets the trend with the way he talks. He talks in such a way so that the members laugh and gradually we all begin mimicking it. It’s kind of difficult to explain, but he uses that funny voice, or he teases us quite often.
Q: Who has the strongest mentality?
A: It is definitely Seungmin. He is really mentally strong. No matter what people say to him, he is never distracted. He has got that kind of strength. Unbreakable strength.
Q: Who is the most indecisive?
A: Felix maybe? He changes his mind a lot, haha.
Q: Please tell me about hidden faces of the members that only you know.
A: There are not many hidden secrets... Bang Chan cannot drink coffee! Well, this maybe famous. But it could be a new information for someone who came to know us recently.
Editor’s NOTE
A soft-spoken man, HAN was embracing other members’ words during the 25 Questions recording. He answered the interview politely and shyly. It was hard to believe that he was the same HAN who has got into the rap bag with the rap legend Tiger JK in the single, “TOPLINE (feat. Tiger JK)” , from the album “★★★★★ (5-STAR)”.
Tumblr media
[Felix]
Q: Who is the most particular about food?
A: All of us eat well and eat a lot but if I were to pick one person, it is Changbin. He takes care of his body and does lots of exercise, so he is really healthy!
Q: Who is the no.1 trendsetter?
A: Changbin teaches us lots of buzzwords. HAN is also funny. They are such entertainers, they mimic comedians’ way of talking and moves, and it is so funny we laugh so much.
Q: Who is the most indecisive?
A: Perhaps myself, haha. I decide and I buy something, and I often think something is different afterwards. I regret a bit, then I think “but maybe it’s good in the end”. I keep doing that. I can give good shopping advice to others, though. Bang Chan gave me confidence when he said that I was persuasive.
Q: Please tell me about hidden faces of the members that only you know.
A: Sometimes I can hear a tiger roaring when I am sleeping. Yes, anyone can snore when he is tired. Bang Chan is so busy he often works at dawn, or many times we start early in the morning, so I figure he is tired.
Editor’s NOTE
It was impressive to see Felix greet each of the shooting staff he met for the first time. When a staff from Australia gave him a local sweet the kids love, he showed the biggest smile. It was great to see his facial expressions change so much. He is open-minded to everyone. When I asked them, “Who is the most indecisive?” almost all the members said Felix as if it was prearranged. That was where I caught the glimpse of their relationship.
Tumblr media
[Seungmin]
Q: Who is the most particular about food?
A: Changbin. He has this strict rule that the dinner must be finished before the date changes.
Q: Who is the no.1 trendsetter?
A: Changbin talks about buzzwords a lot. He is so good at that kind of things. For example, when he was eating chili crab, he got excited and started singing, “chili chili crab crab” after the lyrics of “chili chili men men”. It just comes at the right point.
Q: Who has the strongest mentality?
A: I think it is Changbin. He has an ability to deal in any situation.
Q: Who is the most indecisive?
A: Felix often changes what he is interested in. Hyunjin changes his mind a lot when he tries to choose something from the menu, or simple things like that.
Q: Tell me about your recent TMI (random incidents).
A: Lee Know is doing a lot of cooking at the dormitory recently. He buys some cooked food and arranges it his way. He’s very good.
Editor’s NOTE
I asked him, “If you were to be reborn, what do you want to be?” “A Stray Kids fan,” Seungmin said. “I want to see how Stray Kids are from STAY’s point of view.” Everyone marveled at this answer. He is a quick thinker but also witty as he answered many questions pretending to be Changbin.
Tumblr media
[I.N]
Q: Of all the members who has changed the most since you first met?
A: I think Changbin for me. At first, I thought he was a bit scary but as I got to know him better, he is such a good big brother and making us laugh all the time.
Q: Who is the best listener?
A: "kon kon jeu"(those who are born in 2000, Hyunjin, HAN, Felix, Seungmin ) listen to me a lot. They are a bit older than I am, but they are nice big brothers for me that I can be with like friends.
Q: Please tell me about hidden faces of the members that only you know.
A: It’s Felix’s recent hobby. He seems to like to paint to customize his keyboards.
Q: What is the chemistry you cannot resist recently?
A: Lee Know goes on and on about some facts to Changbin. The words he uses and the fact he talks about can only be called truth, but it is just so funny and Changbin’s pressured face is also hilarious. It is not that he does not talk back, but the rule is that Changbin always loses.
Editor’s NOTE
I.N has a brother who always gives him good feedback. “My brother really gives me great advice and it is very useful for me. As he looks at our team, he always thinks we are great and that also becomes my driving force.” A lovable man-ne(the youngest), how I.N shows his talent freely and purely is because of the affection his big brothers give him.

I tried to make her a bit chubbier but idk. Editing companion icons are hard, it's easier to just draw her. But I have artblock rn, sooooo
She has autism and ADHD. Her special interest is cooking!
She sees Yaoyao as a little sister. Not only did she teach her how to cook, but she also taught her how to use her polearm.
She makes offerings to the stove god, both at an actual shrine and by just giving Guoba snacks.
She hates wearing makeup, but often helps Xinyan and Yun Jin do theirs before performances.
Xiangling caters Xinyan and Yun Jin's concerts.
She adventures with Xingqiu and Chongyun. She also brings a picnic basket along in case they get hungry.

I edited him so that he has little hair flippies that resemble horns. He's an evil little goober.
Takes Chongyun on dates to Wuwang Hill.
Secretly slips small bits of chili powder into Chongyun's food to try and help him build his spice tolerance (it never works).
Xiangling was his first friend and they now regard her as more of a sister than a friend.
They play chess with Yanfei every Saturday.

Baizhu
he/they/xe/al/aloeself
39
Transgender Man, Asexual, Homoromantic
Family: Qiqi (Adopted Daughter), Changsheng
Best Friend: Zhongli
Baizhu has multiple sclerosis. He is completely blind in the right eye and wears a brace on his left hand. They often need a cane to help them stabilize themself.
The medicine that Baizhu takes makes his hands incredibly shaky.
Baizhu sometimes becomes nonverbal and Changsheng will help communicate for xem.
Baizhu braids Qiqi’s hair every morning so she can remember what he looks like. 
Baizhu initially took in Qiqi in order to pursue his goals of immortality, but eventually became incredibly attached to her and ended up adopting her. Although Qiqi technically doesn’t need to sleep, he renovated an old guest room in his house to be her bedroom. He took her to the store and let her pick out random things she likes to decorate her room with. She forgets about these things a lot, and gets excited when she sees them (which makes Baizhu super duper happy). 
Half of Changsheng’s enclosure is decorated to look like a tiny human bedroom and the other half is a normal snake enclosure. The cage is huge, so it’s more like two different enclosures. Before Baizhu started taking xyr medicine, xe decorated it with tiny furniture xe bought from Changshun.
Baizhu is an amazing chef. Al makes all of aloes meals aloeself, it’s very therapeutic for al. They have a very restricted diet, so it’s not like they can trust other chefs 100%. It’s just the safest way for al to get the best food.
He also prepares meals for Changsheng (and Qiqi, when she feels like eating).
Although Baizhu isn't in a relationship, Gui has a crush on him.
Baizhu occasionally flirts with Zhongli, but never tries to actually ask him out. He knows that he's Rex Lapis, and also knows that he's gonna die young. He doesn't want him to mourn losing a lover.
Tumblr media
Qiqi
she/it

Family: Baizhu (Adopted Dad), Changsheng, Herbalist Gui (FF Uncle), Xiao (FF Brother)
Best Friend: Yaoyao
Qiqi often calls Gui "Uncle Gui"
Whenever it sees Zhongli, it asks if he's Baizhu's husband.
She has really bad sensory issues. Because of this, Baizhu keeps things with problematic textures out of the house and the pharmacy.
I don't have many other thoughts about her, I really like her character the way it is.
Tumblr media
Zhongli
he/they/she/one
~41 (Physically), 6000+
Genderfluid, pansexual
Family: Xiao (FF Son), Ganyu (FF Daughter), Hu Tao (FF Daughter), Xinyan (FF Granddaughter)

Zhongli is the oldest Archon, so he is the most affected by erosion. This has caused Fibromyalgia. He has bouts of amnesia. His body also stiffens up at random. He gets awful headaches when he's reminded of Guizhong. He gets medication from Baizhu, but they don't always work.
They have a pet cat. It's a devon rex named Haoyu. He comforts them when they feel lonely and miss their old friends.
Zhongli has a crush on Baizhu, but doesn't know how to approach it. She's had many mortal lovers, but it always hurts when they go. Because of this, she pushes her feelings away.
Spends a lot of time in shrines, spending most of his mora on offerings to his old friends.

Agender, Bisexual
Family: Yakshas (FF Siblings), Zhongli (FF Dad), Ganyu (FF Sister), Hu Tao (FF Sister), Arataki Itto (FF Brother), Wanderer (FF Cousin)
Best Friend: Traveler
Xiao and Itto are pen pals after the chasm incident. Xiao doesn't want to admit it, but Itto reminds him of Bosacius. This makes him think of him as a brother.
Xiao has a soft spot for Qiqi and sees her as a little sister
He has a crush on Venti, but pushes it down. He feels like it makes him weak.
He teaches the kids in Qingce Village how to fight using a polearm. He makes sure to tell them to only use it for self defense. He's surprisingly good with kids.
He talks to the Wanderer (I named him Kunimitsu so that's what I'll be calling him) a lot. He and Kunimitsu bond over having archon parents. They're both very aggressive and train together, which some people misinterpret as them trying to kill each other.
Xiao and Kuni see each other as family. They meet in Lumberpick Village where nobody else is around and just kinda sit there in silence. It's not awkward, despite their...personalities.
Tumblr media
Chongyun
he/they
17
Cisgender Boy, Gay
Dating Xingqiu
Family: Shenhe (Aunt)
Best Friend: Xingqiu
Lost his leg when he was younger. He was learning to use his vision and accidentally froze it solid, giving him frostbite all over his leg. They had to get it amputated at the hip, so his entire left leg is a prosthetic.
Because of this, he trained his body to resist the cold. It also helps with his pure yang energy.
He gets hot very easily. His clothes are extremely light, including his little hoodie. In fact, the hoodie is only there so that he doesn't get snow in his hair. It gets wet when it melts, and he hates wet hair.
In fact, wet hair is a huge sensory issue for him. He also hates things like lotion and having a wet face.
Autistic with a special interest in ghosts and other supernatural phenomena. He often rants about it to Xingqiu, who listens patiently to everything he says with a happy smile.
He seems very awkward around Shenhe, but he's not. They're just both very quiet people and prefer to just hang out in silence. If they do talk, they only say a few words.
Tumblr media

Cisgender Girl, Asexual, Lesbian
Family: Beidou (FF Mom), Kazuha (FF Brother), Yaoyao (FF Sister), Zhongli (FF Grandpa), Childe (FF Brother)
Best Friends: Xiangling, Yun Jin
Xinyan and Childe are penpals. So are Xinyan and Fischl.
Xinyan has severe nerve damage in her hands from pyrotechnics.
She's scared of frogs because, when she was little, she was practicing guitar and a frog jumped out of her case and onto her. She's been freaked out ever since.

Being Alex Jones's therapist
Warnings: mentions of trauma, ptsd and anxiety. If you think i meed to add more warnings please do tell me.
A/N: i had an ask but i fucked up and deleted it, i am sorry and i hope you like it hehe. I am by no means a therapist and my mom helped me (she is). It is short because there are certain points i want to go deeper on. I love this picture by the way <3333
Tumblr media
I think it is not necessary to say that he took a while to open up to you, like at least five sessions. He would be quiet most of the time and just nod and hum or shake his head, and even if it wasn't as helpful as you would have liked it, silence in itself is a language so you were able to, little by little, start helping him.
So one day you got an idea, you bought three toy cars and some chocolate chip cookies (after checking up he didn't have any allergies ofc), as gifts for him, as a way to get him to trust you a little. Needless to say after that he started to open up a little bit, he would tell you about his days and the things he felt and struggled so much to put into words, though some days he would talk about his time with Keller, or with the people that abducted him as a child, teary eyed and sniffling, you could feel your heart tearing apart, and well you were obviously doing your best to help him get better.
You would do some therapeutic exercises with him, so he felt like you were both playing together, that way he wouldn't get bored of them.
At the start of every session you would give him some crayons and paper so he could distract himself a little while he talked to you, he would sometimes draw detective Loki and it was quite apparent he admired the man.
He actually loves music, so you would put some soft music at a low volume, sometimes when he really liked a song he would interrupt whatever you both were talking about and softly say something along the lines of "i like that song, what is it called?" When you gave him the name he would write it down on his paper, next to his drawing.
Needless to say he suffers a severe case of ptsd, he can't even see people with beards without feeling anxious. While one of the most common ways of treating ptsd is different types of desensitization, that definitely is not the best way to treat him, you are almost sure he'll withdraw himself again, so the best way to treat him would be Cognitive Behavior Therapy, more specifically cognitive restructuring, this type of intervention helps people make sense of bad memories and it is gonna take him a while, but with your help and a lot of resilience he is sure to get better little by little.

I have a prompt for the Abbott Elementary Work Wives, if that’s ok? A tradition they have for the end of the school year that they celebrate together, maybe?
After the last bell rings on the last day of the school year, when the last child walks out of the building and safely into the hands of their caregiver, when the building’s doors finally lock after one last forgotten lunchbox or jacket, Melissa and Barbara celebrate. 
While Melissa’s usual ideas of celebration are more material; going out for drinks, for example. Barbara always enjoys celebrating a little more practically. 
(They didn’t actually consider this a celebration, or even a tradition, until about 1998 when they’d both been around a few too many years to really care what they called it.)
Regardless, they always start in Melissa’s room. 
While it has moved around over the years, it seems that the powers that be always knew it was a good idea to keep them relatively close together. So whether she moves across the hall, or around the corner, Barbara always arrives at the end of the year like clockwork—a gentle knock to the doorframe and copious amounts of cardboard boxes in hand. 
When they work they mostly do so in silence—something that initially unnerved Melissa in their earlier years but now is more comforting than any conversation could be. 
There’s something therapeutic about it, working methodically to deconstruct a year’s worth of hard work and love—knowing it’ll all cycle through again next year.
“You have quite the collection of artwork this year,” Barbara smiles, looking at one that appears to be Melissa in front of the water ice truck from the beginning of the year. 
“Yeah,” her face is hot, blushing furiously as she looks at the artwork she’s accumulated into piles in two huge cardboard boxes. “Double the class, double the drawings.” 
Barbara moves onto the last board that needs deconstructing, slowly taking the staples out of the last few pieces of artwork and beginning to unravel the puzzle piece themed border around it. When she looks back, Melissa is still deeply engrossed in the box of drawings. She doesn’t mind, making quick work of the last display and allowing Melissa her time to decompress. It’s the other emotions she sees that worries her, less of joy and reflection—something more morose. 
“Everything alright?” Barbara asks gently, coming back to her side. The last stack of drawings and letters accumulated from Melissa’s desk in hand.,
Melissa moves her glasses back to the top of her head. “Yeah, I should probably get cracking with these boxes though, if we have any shot of getting your room done on time.” 
Barbara knows it’s not about her, or the boxes. She plays along anyways, hoping to garner some sort of truth. “What do you do, with all the gifts your students give you?” 
Melissa turns away,“You’ll think it’s stupid,” she suddenly feels bashful, closing the lid on the first box.
Barbara passes her the last stack, gently touching her hand as she does, “You know that’s not true.”
“I keep them all in boxes, labeled with the year. They sit in my attic for a long time, collecting dust. And then, sometimes, when things get harder than usual I go back through ‘em. It helps to remember all the years, all the kids’ lives I was part of. I wonder where they are now, and hope that I did enough.”
Barbara’s face softens, discarding one of the posters she carefully pulled down from Melissa’s bulletin board in favor of touching her shoulder gently. “Of course you did enough, Melissa, why are you second guessing your own abilities?” 
Finally, it’s like the flood gates to all of the woman’s closed off emotions open. “I feel like I failed them, this year especially.” 
“Melissa,” Barbara almost chides her. 
Her voice falls, “The kids, my kids, if they were at a legendary charter school they would’ve been so much better off. They could have learned more, been happier, got the attention they really needed.”
Barbara shakes her head, “Look at everything these children have left behind in this room. All the drawings and letters, the memories, the happiness. What makes you think that you didn’t succeed in teaching them, in bringing them joy and fulfillment?” 
“I should have done more, I could’ve.” 
“You did what any good teacher would, your absolute best. Clearly your students agree.” 
Melissa looks around the room again, already half deconstructed but an amalgamation of so many days of frustration and excitement, anxiety and peace, sadness and joy. It didn’t matter how she felt on any particular day, to her kids she was always just Ms. Schemmenti, they trusted her with everything they had. 
Barbara thumbs through some of the letters, “Here’s one Max wrote about you going to get the whole class ice cream after they all aced their time tests. And another letter from a boy named Jordan thanking you for giving him a book from your personal collection that’s become his favorite. And here, one from Courtney, where she says that you moving her up a grade and listening to her when no one else would, made her feel like she belonged. If that doesn’t tell you something, well, I don’t know what will.”
She’s allowing tears to slip down her face at that point, sitting in the middle of the room and suddenly feeling overwhelmed. Boxes upon boxes stacked and she feels like she’s drowning in it all, all over again. 
Barbara reaches up and wipes her tears, stroking her face ever so gently. “You are a good teacher, Melissa Schemmenti.”
Melissa kisses her softly, thanking her in the best way she knows how. Barbara keeps her grounded, level-headed, even when she feels like the walls are closing in and the entire world is against her. Barbara is always there.
When they’ve both taken a quiet moment for themselves, Melissa gets to her feet. “Just gotta finish sorting my books and extra supplies and then I’ll be done.” 
Barbara hums, taking the woman’s extended hand and following her over to the other side of the room. She makes quick work of sorting pencils and crayons back into boxes, allowing Melissa to finish packing up the books from her reading corner.
They move onto Barbara’s classroom then, which—as always—is infinitely easier to deconstruct than Melissa’s. This is because for many years Barbara’s room has never moved, staying stagnant in one place. This is how it should be, because Barbara is a rock for Abbott, and her classroom has become a home to so many of the kids who still pass through these halls. The room never changing location is important, because years later when kindergarteners grow into second or third graders, they still know the way back to Mrs. Howard’s room to say hello. 
They never have to do much work with her space at the end of the year. Just packing up extra supplies Barbara doesn’t want to risk losing over the next few months, books and blankets to go back into storage. Every year the same room–just a new coat of paint applied in whatever theme strikes Barbara that year. This year it’s rainbows, and Melissa can’t help but feel emotional as she helps the woman she loves reminisce over it all. 
To her credit, Barbara has just as many drawings of her likeness, maybe even more than Melissa considering the kindergartners are too young to show their admiration through written word. Some of the older students leave her letters, though, even years later. Barbara cherishes them all, remembering each and every student in a way that Melissa admires immensely. She loves when the kids ask her about Barbara, how she’s doing, if she’s still reading stories to the younger kids like she used to do with them. 
What Melissa enjoys most is when Barbara shuffles in with little gifts or even forgotten items from the long nights before. Each time she does her best not to disturb class, leaving Melissa with a quick kiss, a chorus of ‘Bye Mrs. Howard!’ in her wake and a smile upon her face.
Melissa feels like Barbara’s classroom is her home, too. 
Another thing that’s changed since they started this little end of the year tradition in 1998 is that now they don’t part ways in the parking lot, promises of getting together for lunch in the summer dying on their lips. Now they load their boxes into the same car, humming along to Bobby Brown on the short drive back to Melissa’s house that has slowly but surely become Barbara’s as well. 
When they get home, Melissa puts this year's boxes in the attic along with the others. She looks over each of them fondly, dusting them off and tracing the numbers with her index finger. Then she retreats back downstairs, where Barbara has already poured them both glasses of wine and reheated the Danny Wok’s they picked up last night for a dinner that went untouched in favor of other matters. 
As traditions go, it’s not much. But for them, it’s perfect.

ok but how do u think all the other victors are towards the kids? and like was she forced to mentor along with being a mother to newborn babies when she had both arista and everest
i rlly wanna know how victors like cashmere and finnick are towards the kids because if they were all just under normal circumstances, they’d be amazing aunts and uncles
The years she had Everest and Arista she was either mentoring pregnant or with a newborn baby. (Haymitch actually loves baby wearing, so walking around with his little angels attached to him was probably therapeutic during those times.) Even the victors they’re not particularly close to have a sense of camaraderie and are always kind to the children.
Cashmere is like the go to for dress up, imaginative play, and bringing stories to life for the kids. She’s creative and funny, she loves to entertain. Gloss will join in if he’s around, flipping them around and over his shoulder while they laugh and squeal in excitement.
Finnick teaches them how to tie their shoes and some more complex knotting techniques as they get older. He’s known for surprise tickle attacks. Annie sits and hums to the children. They don’t see Mags often but when they do she has little handmade books for them. The children return the favor with drawings and painted pictures which she displays proudly on her walls.
Though travel between districts is limited per Snow, they’ve visited one (Cashmere and Gloss) four (Finnick, Annie and Mags) and eleven (Chaff and Seeder) with plans to visit Johanna in seven. Johanna pretends to be uninterested but she loves those little shits.

Huff.
I'm struggling to draw tonight so I'ma kick back and spam y'all with stuff 'bout my gang here because why not lol
-Keith sings in the shower. Well, who doesn't tbh lol. But I mean this guy actually hits high af notes perfectly in the shower like he's at a show. If he's in a good mood. If he's not feelin' too upbeat then he's just quiet, might just hum a little to try and light his spirits up
-Cherry has hemophobia. While not nearly as intense, it makes her skin crawl and nerves skyrocket. She won't faint at a drip drop, but an open bleeding wound uncovered might set her off a panic
-Pico likes to play solitary. He has an old deck he's had since he was a kid. He's also really good at chess and Monopoly
-Darnell has a fear of abandonment that he rarely speaks of, one of the main reasons why he's very attached to his mother even as an adult. Because of this he's somewhat become a lone wolf
-Keith knows how to play the guitar, bass, piano and drums. He comes up with random guitar solos sometimes when he's just fiddling around, often taking them and making them into songs
-He's pretty open when it comes to music genres, but his favorite ones are hip-hop, funk, grunge, alternative rock, rap and nu metal. He does a mix of original songs and covers during his performances around town, sometimes getting along and preforming together with other bands that are also there.
-While not much of a singer himself, Pico does in fact enjoy listening to Keith sing his favorite 90s hits.
-Cherry has a little spice garden on the balcony of her and Keith's apartment. She grows rosemary, sage, thyme, oregano, bay leaves, marjoram, parsley, basil and even a few heads of garlics growing apart.
-Pico likes flowers but he won't admit it.
-Nene hates her job at Wal-Mart mainly because she has to deal with tons of crappy people everyday, however she tries her best to do a good job and is at least grateful she has at least some way of getting income
-One of her dreams was to become a graphic designer
-Despite being friendly and open towards people in general, Keith can become very jealous and possessive of his loved ones if he senses someone trying to get close to them in an intimate way (ol' alpha instinct kickin' in there). Because of this sometimes he can come off as obnoxious and dense especially when that someone isn't actually trying to get closer with his special one(s)
-Darnell likes to collect old vintage toy cars. He has entire wall in his bedroom with shelves full of them
-He's excellent at rapping and beatboxing, however he doesn't really show it off unless he's sure he's by himself
-Keith is actually more of a cat person and Cherry is more of a dog person. That being said, if either were to get the opposite they'd still love it to death. (Also because their personalities are the opposite. So Cherry's Keith's cat and Keith is Cherry's dog. Thats why they love each other so much. I am so funny)
-Pico literally could not care about cats or dogs and which is better. He finds them both adorable anyways. He also likes fish.
-Nene has a pet snake named Dagger. Despite his name he's just a small adorable white snek keeping her happy and alive
-Darnell used to have a Golden Retriever named Sam when he was 14 as a birthday gift and therapeutic companion. He mysteriously went missing one morning shortly after Darnell graduated high school and was never found since
-Pico will often turn down friend offers and meet-ups with people who take an interest in him by claiming he's too busy and needs to walk his dead pet fish before walking away without another word (thanking to my good ol bud for that one <3)
-This technique did not work for neither Keith nor Cherry
-Keith suffers from dermatillomania, mainly caused by his ADHD whenever he's bored

OH NO! I WAS TOO DISTRACTED SQUEALING TO EVERYONE TO ACTUALLY THANK YOU FOR THE MECHS IN DRESS CLOTHES. I AM SO SORRY
They are bootiful, and I wuv dem, and gods damnit I need to clear off enough space on my desk so I can doodle them too. Also, I am happy to see steadily more and more people popping up to compliment Sides, he deserves to be in the spotlight. Sunny may have traditional beauty down, but Sides is that handsome boy next door whom spends their entire youth as an outdoor-playing sort of "dirty", and then cleans up and all of a sudden every girl within a five mile radius suddenly does that one spongebob meme of "Oh no, he's hawt!". And he deserves to be recognized for it, hehe. Even if both mechs are far too confident to get blushy from compliments, which is a true crime, tbh, cause both need to be seen hella positively flustered.
Also! I took Friday off of work because the jerkweed at my job was insistent on buying us lunch as a bribe, and I have too many complex feelings about people giving me things to let myself feel like I owe him. So I got to hang out with my dad, and we're gonna be sealing up my ladybug leaking window today after work. In other news /dun dun/ I was goofing around playing modded Ark: Survival Evolved (specified, cause I talk to a lot of people who don't know what that is, its about dinosaurs) and said mod was hybridization. So I made a manta omanite abomination monster. Twas chthulu, but as a bird. And I love him. I am naming him Flappy when I get home.
On an even different note, cause I've been doing my coloring books again recently, I've been debating on posting the progress of my books onto tumblr, cause I bought a one-sided-page book simply for the express purpose of being able to take the pages out and gift them to friends, so I thought it would be cool to have a visual timeline of what I have done, and how far along I got with different pieces. It would also mean I can take my watercolor pencils to the page the way I wanted to, without worrying about ruining the next page. Downside, I am terrified of posting stuff online, because I internalize everything negative people say about me, whilst simultaneously disregarding all the nice things people say. I am working on unlearning that, which being slightly more active in the interwebs would help with (exposure therapy, whooooo....)
Did/do you celebrate easter?
~Smooch 💜
Hehe, you are very welcome Smooch.
I'm glad you liked them. Sideswipe is a growing favorite I've noticed, and it really is a lot of fun to watch happen. Sunny is still probably the most popular of my designs, but his brother is coming on fast hehe. I REALLY want to draw some more robots soon, despite my other projects. I'm the mood for Mirage and Tracks atm, so we'll see what happens hehe
Tumblr media
While the circumstances were not ideal, it is good that you got to spend time with your dad. And I guess congratulations are in order for your avian Cthulu lol Also congratulations for finding time to do your coloring books again. Coloring books are supposed to be really therapeutic(so I hear).
On your possible tumblr posting: I too like to have a timeline on some of my projects just as a record/checkpoint. Tumblr blogs are really good for that I have to admit. Your downside is my downside as well. It's hard to accept compliments and even harder to deal with negative nancy barking up your notifications. I still get nervous over pieces I post, particularly my original works, so don't feel bad. I admit that exposure therapy HAS helped me, but if you feel like it won't help you, then don't do it. But unfortunately, you won't know until you try.
And yes, I do celebrate Easter hehe. I play piano for my church so that's one of my busier times of year outside of Christmas (dear Lord at the Christmas carols…). I even dyed Easter eggs to give out to the kids at church this year, so I really got into it this time. It's also the time of year I get together with some of my extended family, so it's fun (and kinda tiring hehe)

Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler
"A note, who writes a note like that? Who were you to write one to me? It boomed inside me the whole time, an explosion over and over, the joy of what you wrote to me jumpy shrapnel in my bloodstream. I can't have it near me anymore, I'm grenading it back to you, as soon as I unfold it and read it and cry one more time. Because me too, and fuck you. Even now."
Year Read: 2015, 2023
Rating: 4/5
Is it weird that I went through a breakup and this was the first book I reached for, or is that just bookworm things? It's been years since I read it, and I was curious to see the YA advice for having your heart broken. It turns out making a box of shit to get rid of from the relationship is actually kind of therapeutic, but I think it was less the physical act of making it than the not having to see the reminders around my house anymore that was truly helpful. In any case, this is why we broke up:
I have mixed feelings about Handler as a writer (and a human, but that's a separate issue), but in general I enjoy his John Green era of pretentious young adult narrators, so if that's your thing, this book is likely to work for you. I think the best thing it has going for it is its concept, and in that respect, it works very well. There's something fascinating about a history in objects, and it's lovely to watch Min tell the story of her failed romance through each item in the box, these trivial, saved, beloved things all coming together to represent something meaningful and now lost. I'm also a collector of trivial things (movie tickets, pretty rocks, a bracelet from an ex I haven't spoken to in more than ten years), so this resonated with me.
Unfortunately, it's not as strong in other areas. The artwork is, again, more interesting in concept than execution. They're sort of messy drawings/paintings of objects without context, and I strongly believe my fifteen-year-old niece could have done a better job with them. As far as character and plot go, it's fairly run of the mill, with little to separate it from other breakup stories. There's nothing that special about Min, her friends, or her boyfriend, and it occasionally dips heavily into "she's not like other girls" territory. It's a pretty classic artsy girl dates jock with predictable results story, with a side of the best friend was actually the love interest all along! As a side note: way, *way* too many uses of the word "gay" as an intended slur, despite Min's blatant commentary on why that's an issue. And that is why we broke up.

My soul left me after the Patar Beach
A "Paradise" is a fantastical location. Usually, it's an optimistic and entertaining environment. You may, therefore, describe a beach as a paradise to draw attention to the notion that the beach is your personal interpretation of a fantastical setting where you can enjoy yourself and feel delighted. Beach. It consists of five letters and can elicit a variety of feelings and provide therapeutic warmth when you are in the presence of the shore's wind and sand. When it comes to a person's vivid and effortless view of the beach, beaches are really simple, nonetheless, if someone is looking at them with complete appreciation and understanding, they may develop an in-depth meaning and view of the beach. Whether we like to acknowledge it or not, we are always able to determine when we are near the beach, or we are already at the beach when we smell the salty sea air, hear the sound of the waves crashing onto the sand, and rocks, and the sensation of the combination of heat and cold air.
The Patar beach at Bolinao, Pangasinan, is a personal representation of my paradise. This beach is among the most exquisite in the Philippines and is well-known for its abundance of immaculate beaches. It features this gorgeous beach with pristine white sand, crystal-clear waves, and mind-blowing views that will leave any visitor astonished. Since it is a public beach, it receives very little maintenance; yet, it is our duty as visitors to contribute to the beach's sustainability. Further, south down the coast are numerous more sections of white sand beach with little bays and formations of coral rock. Many of the lovely white-sand beaches on Pangasinan's western coast are just waiting to be discovered and may be easily viewed from online satellite maps. This coastline includes lengths of lovely beaches in the towns of Agno, Bani, Burgos, and Dasol.
While Patar Beach is a great place to swim, snorkeling only reveals a little in the way of underwater life. This is apparently due to the lack of coral in the area, though snorkeling may get better the further south you travel. In Bolinao, there are numerous attractions to see. On our second visit, as we drove along Patar Road on our approach to the beach, we saw signage pointing to three caves—Wonderful Cave, Cindy's Cave, and Enchanted Cave—which are actually underground pools. There are also several places where you can stay like G beach resort Bolina. Naturally, as soon as we were fully aware of the Patar beach, we had to begin discovering the best routes there. The Manila to Bolinao route is served by a number of buses, including the Philippine Rabbit, Dagupan Bus, City Trans, Five Star, and Victory Liner. It takes about five to six hours to get there, allowing you to pass the time by doing anything you like. Just rent a bike in Bolinao town center to go to Patar Beach. Another option is if you choose to travel by car, as we did, head towards Tarlac City via the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) and the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX). Take the Camiling road at Tarlac City and continue driving all the way to Alaminos, Pangasinan, and then to Bolinao. Before you enter the town proper, take the road on the left that is across from the Bolinao Central School if you want to go directly to Patar Beach (this road is named Saturnino Camangian on Google Maps).
As someone who loves the smells and feel of the oceans along the sands, I consider beaches as my home. You could consider the beach to be your home if that's where you feel the happiest and most at ease. Although it's not really a house, it feels like home, like the place where you belong. While Patar Beach may resemble other beaches, I believe they are all unique. The reason for this is that they have a variety of incredible recollections of the people who have visited them. My recollections are stored in the ocean's depths at Patar Beach.
Like our lives, the waves at the beaches are wildly unpredictable. It is extremely unpredictable, with the potential to be both peaceful and helpful to us, as well as destructive.

Given the character intro videos posted on twitter, Break My Case seems to already have unique backing tracks for every character, which is awesome tbh. None of the character music seems to match the selection of tracks playable on their website either. This game just has a fuckton of music.
Do I dare to hope it's a rhythm game. A chill rhythm game with a more mature story tone, music that's just a little more ambient than the usual pop-rock-hiphop fare, and maybe more of a metaphorical take on why the music is happening in the first place would be a genuinely cool entry into the joseimuke genre. Doesn't that sound kind of cool? I'm trying not to hype myself up for something that probably isn't true (chances are it's just... another training game, which happens to have lots of music) BUT COME OOOOONNN
I'm like, picturing it from the perspective of a marketing executive rn. A lot of joseimuke rhythm games currently out there have a pretty literal reason for all the music, the characters are musicians or idols or rappers or whatever and the rhythm game part just straightforwardly represents concerts/live shows/rap battles. But that's obviously not the only way to do a rhythm game. I'd like to see something that takes a less literal approach, with the music representative of an emotional journey or something along those lines. It fits with that darker, more complex tone they're clearly going for, that would easily set the game apart from the existing joseimuke rhythm market and could draw in people who either aren't into idols etc in the first place, or are just kind of burnt out by them in the current saturated market. It's a niche that's not quite filled, currently, although it's arguable whether it's a big enough niche to try to market to.
And the setting of bremai seems to be set up for that, right? With this mysterious cafe that helps people with a variety of problems. Because like, there's no magic in bremai that we know, but the "mysterious space you happen upon when you most need it, with people to help you in exactly the way you need" is a trope that's tied up with magic and the surreal. A veil between cafe Aporia and the rest of reality, cloaked by music that makes it easy to step into another world.
Imagine the vibe of putting your headphones in, opening up the game, playing some chill music levels, all with the atmosphere of these characters helping people--helping you--through life, in their own ways. Without lyrics or concrete imagery, it's easy to fall into the rhythm game and into your own imagination. The music takes you on your own little emotional journey, supported by your blorbo. Put the game away with renewed zest for life. Could be genuinely therapeutic if pulled off right imo
BUT LIKE I SAID, I WON'T LET MYSELF GET TOO HYPE FOR A GAME THAT DOESN'T ACTUALLY EXIST, SO

TFP If You Ship...
Ultra Magnus
I would also like to warn yall, I do roast the shit outta these ships and you. Some of y'all are nasty and need to be told/reminded, and some of you need to stay far the fuck away from me. Aight? Aight lets begin.
MagOp/OpMag/Magnimus/ Ultra Magnus x Optimus Prime: You pretentious bitch. You absolute fucking- I have no fucking words to describe how beige you are. You 're personality is plain oatmeal. Message me. I want to beat your ass. You prolly like them for the fact that they can relate to each other, and because of their importance to the war. But I hate you cause you also have more content. Fuck you. May your cereal turn soggy before you can eat that shit, may your drawing tablet get so hot in that one corner that you can fry bacon on that bitch. Fuck you.
MagMeg/Magatron(ew)/ Ultra Magnus x Megatron: you eat mayonnaise with a fucking spoon. Y'all saw that one scene with them on Darkmount and was just like "hm, but what if fuck?" and ran with it. You went to Ao3 expecting kinky shit, but all you got was stuff for IDW Megs and Mags and honestly baby, its gon' be okay.
Matchet/Ragus?/ Ultra Magnus x Ratchet: Yes we get it, the old man can dom now shut the fuck up. If taking your S/O to the nursing home as a date was a ship it'd be these old crotchety ass bitches. But, but, on a more serious note this ship can be so therapeutic for both mechs. These two were there way before the start of the war, they lived through it, and they knew Optimus all throughout. I imagine Ratchet would tell Magnus about Orion before his ascension to the primacy. I ain't ever been more depressed scrolling through a tag though, y'all broke bitches need whatever the fuck UltraScreen is having.
Magbee/Ultra Bumble/Ultra Magnus x Bee: I ain't ever seen two same heighted Cybertronians in a relationship, always one of'em gotta be spike suckin' height.
UltraJack/ Ultra Magnus x Wheeljack: Listen, listen, both these mechs love their solitary time and it can create so much angst, SO MUCH. Magnus feeling he must uphold his duties and Wheeljack having a mindset similar to a pirate. His spark belongs to the stars AND Magnus, but the stars will always come first. But bitch this is Ultra Magnus. We horny. We know Wheeljack is a fucking brat, and Ultra Magnus is his Dom.... baby we nasty. We nasty and there is no fucking denying that shit my GOD.
Ultrabulk/ Ultra Magnus x Bulkhead: Listen man as crazy as this might sound, I think this could work. Just like any other ship with Bulkhead you are fucking STRUGGLING though dude, you got like 5 fics you keep coming back to. You cry at night, knowing, and praying, that the gods will smile upon you and bless you with an update. You know you struggling when you only got three fics that have this ship as the focus. If y'all ban together I'm sure you can scrounge together like three pieces of fanart and a lint roller between the four of you.
UltraScream/ Ultra Magnus x Starscream: I don't see how anyone could hate this ship. Like, they literally work as really good foils to each other. You've got Magnus who is loyal as fuck, very militaristic??? And very much involved with the safety of his team. He's described as recklessly brave. Starscream on the other hand has a lot of character to work on and Magnus could help him along with that, and he can teach Magnus self preser- fucking-vation because Mr. "gets fucking chomped by a predacon for another bitchass Autobot" needs it. You're fuckass wants someone to save you, or you want to go absolutely apeshit. You are the mom friend everyone is worried about.
Ultracee/ Ultra Magnus x Arcee: Huh?? I mean like....Okaaaayy?? I mean good for you. This ship makes me feel the way that you feel when someone offers you candy you don't like, but you wouldn't mind eating it so you do. To be honest the people who ship this definitely see diamonds in places others wouldn't expect, but like you're so fucking unnessecary oh my god. Like you prolly add weird ass comments to other peoples statements, ain't nobody out here asking for an echo. Sit down.
UltraShock: ya like'em thicc don't you commanding officer Ultra Magnus? Anyway maybe y'all could team up with UltraBulk shippers and add a pile of used soda cans to the pile. Y'all are ghosts, do you even exist on this plane. My guesstimate on how many people actually ship this forreal is like 5.
Ultrawave/MagnusSound/Magnus x Soundwave: Listen if the Ultrabulk shippers are starving y'all ain't even corporeal. I show up to this ship with a fucking ghost talk box and some heat sensors, and like one boombox tryna see if GHOSTS even inhabit this bitch. Y'all aight? Are y'all good?? HELLO IN THERE (hello in there) (hello in there). Yall really go all out for the goth shit. Prolly hidin' in the shadows of my house waiting to strike.
Ultrascreen:
You, and I mean this in the most (derogatory) way possible, are a fucking
HOE
Literally looked on AO3 saw nearly NOTHING BUT kinky MF PORN. The oooonly plot y'all got is exactly how long Ultra Magnus can deny Smokescreen an overload. Why every time it comes to Magnus people make this by the books vanilla bitch the kinkiest one. YES I love subverting expectations but can I PLEASE get one fic where he sputters because his partner says a bad word. These two are the main ones who get this treatment, and baby I ain't complaining, but please. Please just- please sir I-I a-ah!
Ultradown: The UltraBulk, and UltraWave shippers come here every year, at the exact same location, at the exact same time, all for this ritual. The UltraWave shippers take out a boombox, some energon candies, and a supersized Cybertronian false spike. The UltraBulkers begin to sing the incantation to summon their fallen comrade: https://youtu.be/m9We2XsVZfc. They must do this once every year, they must battle the UltraDown shippers, though most would say they are a myth, the UltraShock and UltraWave shippers know better.
MagnusOut/KnockMagnusOut?/Ultra Knockout: Listen its not as horny as Smokescreen but the constant tension is definitely there. Knockout is just as horny as the depressed, RE-pressed ass Magnus fans and can you really blame him? Boyfriend? Dead. Magnus? kinky. Hotel? California.
/If I missed any let my gay ass know. Sorry if this ones lackluster, but some of these ships don't even really seem to have a fanbase?? Remember that these are TFP ships y'all.
Also I better see more Bulkhead content after this. Do you all have a problem with truly thicc bootyful babes or what?

Doctor, I know you tend to get along with most of your patients. But are there any that are more difficult to tolerate. Not hate or anything, but ones that are a bit more of a chore?
While my primary patients are Crane, Edward, and Nygma, the majority of the maximum security wing actually round through my office.
Save Joker really, while I occasionally do see him, he's actually exclusively assigned straight male psychiatrists-- for- reasons. I only see him in passing.
I don't dislike any of my patients, but the ones that give me the most difficulty, at least, in terms of therapy, are likely Crane and Dent.
Dent knew me when I worked at GCPD to finish my degree, they were- playful, to say it best. Them and Mr. Wayne often bumbled around in my company since I wasn't one to say no to Mr. Gotham-in-my-pocket and Mr. I'm-best-friends-with-your-boss.
During our sessions Dent laments about the past at times, both good Harvey and Two-Face.
Sometimes Two-Face will make a crass comment about how frustrating I was then, or Dent would interject and say "I long to miss those days. Do you miss that?"
I don't, in all truth, but I do miss when they were still just Mr. Dent, yes. They don't miss that though.
During sessions they're a flip of a switch, say the wrong thing and a mine goes off. They aren’t manipulative though, just, reactionary.
Crane isn't.
Crane is hard for me sometimes. He knows it, I know it-- Nygma knows it.
He plays with me, during sessions-- like a cat with a fleeing mouse. He can be sadistic, which makes him far more grim than Tetch and Nygma.
He draws out slivers of memories from my skull and-- skillfully, he rams them back into my head.
He always leads me to think he knows less than he does, he loves to play the puppeteer games-- and outright refuse therapeutic help by spinning it around on me.
He's sharp-- he dances around every single word you say and plays your mind like a fiddle. Probably the most incredible person I've met.
Hes calculated, cold, informed, observant, practical, persuasive, reasonable, intuitive, inquisitive, well-read, apathetic, determined, loyal, instructive, han-
It's a shame he's here in Arkham. Even more a shame that he's such a pain in my ass so often.
Outside of my patients, Bolton, is the biggest pain in my ass, easily. He's so traditional it hurts- no wonder he's single.
