Olympian Bucky AU

Okay, a few people said they would love to hear more about my AU, so here we go! @btwxsixesandsevens @realmamabear79 @milady-elessar

Ill start with saying that i did archery as a teenager, but i had a bare horse bow. So it was just 1 piece and didn't have any sights or stabalisers or whatever. I did have my lessons with people that did have those, so i do know a little about it, and all the other technical stuff is from the 'net. So if you know more about (recurve) archery than i do, please let me in on all the insider knowledge!

For those not familiar with archery, this is a recurve bow. Its the one used at the olympics.

And here is a picture with all the technical terms that i will use from time to time:

The compound bow is from my research the most common in the USA (it has a lot of power and is good for hunting), its also allowed on the paralympics. Bucky will be using the recurve tho.

Now to my ideas:

Bucky was born in Shelbyville, Indiana in 1987. The oldest of four, Rebecca (1989), Ruth (1991) and Esther (1999).

While they live there he just did some boring sports popular in the USA. Kinda switching between things if thats a thing over there, but none really stick.

Then they move to NYC in 1999 when Bucky was 12 years old because of his parents' work. One of his new classmates in NYC did archery and Bucky was invited to tag along to a class once.

And for the first time in his life he actually loved a sport. He loved the silence and accuracy that it required. He also loved that it was an ididivual sport so he wasnt dependent on a teams skill. Just his own.

So he asked his parents if he could join too who after some doubt allowed him to start. They didnt have a lot of money to spare, but he could use a bow from the club and the lessons didnt cost too much. It did help that Rebecca waw more into art and drawing so her hobby was pretty cheap. Bucky is extatic that he can start and he goes to lessons every week and practised his technique and strength whenever he could. He didn’t have money for his own bow and the first competitions he actually used one of the club’s bows that he always used during the lessons. He actually came second out of many kids on his first competition.

Meanwhile he was doing small jobs in the neighbourhood to earn enough money to buy himself a decent bow with sight and stabilisers. It cost him 400 USD to buy it all, because secondhand left handed bows were hard to come by so he had to buy it new, and it wasn’t the best quality, but it was so worth it. He could actually practise everything even better at home even without a target to actually practise at in their apartment.

When he started going to competitions more frequently it was often his coach driving him, because of his parents busy schedule and the fact that there were three little sisters at home too.

At 14, Bucky already competed at the national youth championships. By now he’d been able to upgrade his bow to a better and heavier bow (draw strength) and also a bigger one because his pull length had increased a lot with how much taller he’d gotten over the last few years.

But now i have an appointment so be back later with more!

Writer : Amy Densham

Whether your kids live in rural Iowa or downtown NYC. If they have cosplaying parents or only they just learned about Halloween. Astrid and Leah bring that excited, welcoming, Con energy to their student’s computer screens all over the world.

The platform is Outschool. It’s been around since 2015 and started as a go-to for homeschoolers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Outschool grew beyond homeschooling. It became a place for learning and socializing whether you homeschool or not. Now serving over 1 million learners in 195 countries, Outschool has thousands of classes for ages 3 - 18. Learn about dinosaurs from a paleontologist. C# coding from a game developer. Or cosplay from an expert seamstress and a professional actress.

Astrid Turner, bubbly and all smiles, remembers standing in line at a Con: “The cosplay community is one of the most supportive and wonderful communities out there. When I cosplay, it’s not attention on me. It’s attention for something we share. We already know we like the same things. The craftsmanship, the idea that you’re there together, dressed up, having an experience together.”

Astrid teaches Cosplay Costume Design and Creation Workshops and anything else costume-related (just send her a request). She can pleat a skirt, put a bodice in, and bring kids out of their shells with ease. Part of her class includes real-world skills like comparison shopping; if you’re asking mom to buy it, you need to have a plan.

What does Astrid hope her students walk away with from taking her class ? Ask about her experience teaching online classese.

With a classroom maximum of 5, Astrid gives personalized attention to all of her students. Some enroll with a clear costume vision. Others just love Anime. Either way, Astrid helps them follow their own creativity and make it a reality.

Do they need a sketch? No problem. Does the fabric need to be washable? She knows just the thing. And costumes are just the beginning. Her eyes light up when she talks about intuitive, introverted students growing and connecting as the weeks go by. Someone who barely spoke in their first class is now the first one to share their progress and welcome a new student. They find their people and their voice.

Leah Johnson, artful and confident, talks about her experience at Cons: “It feels like everyone is a family. They want to welcome you in. It’s an excitement of sharing. Always. Of what they’ve made, what they’ve done, other cons that they’ve gone to, and people they’ve met. Everyone there wants to inspire each other.”

Leah teaches Special FX, Halloween, and Cosplay Makeup or one-on-one classes by request. Some of her students want to become professional makeup artists. Some want to scare their grandmas with fake wounds. In both situations, Leah is raring to go! And so is her washable Mehron Practice Makeup Head - currently sporting terrifying clown makeup from her last class.

Every class is unique. Some learners pop in with full, top-of-the-line makeup kits and some join with leftovers from the makeup wearer in their house. Part of the fun for Leah and her students is figuring out how to create looks with what you’ve got. It’s a great life lesson too. Sometimes you’ll need a specific product but sometimes you just need to be resourceful. Leah playfully refers to it as preparing for the zombie apocalypse when you won’t have all the tools. Her personality beams through the screen as she uses her makeup head to show makeup techniques, up close, and with student-requested variations. For Leah, the online part wasn’t her favorite. There’s an unquantifiable distance when you’re interacting online. You aren’t in the same space. It’s not the same as in person. But she makes that work too. And it’s a small inconvenience compared to the big benefit: bringing creative, accepting spaces to students wherever they are in the world.

HOW IT STARTED

Astrid and Leah both grew up loving costumes but they didn’t find out about cosplay until much later. In each of their separate hometowns, they were that kid in full costume at the grocery store. Or decked out like crazy on Halloween. Sound familiar?

Astrid remembers her first Ren Faire: “My first costume was a disaster but I was so proud of it! Ever since then, I knew I wanted to make costumes.” Growing up in a rural area outside LA, she always wanted to go to the San Diego Comic-Con but she didn’t have anyone to go with and didn’t want to go by herself. None of her friends were cosplayers - a term she didn’t even know existed.

She taught herself to sew, learning by creating more and more complex projects. Elaborate Elizabethan gowns with striking details for the next faire.

As she grew older, Atrid took a detour, exploring other career paths but she came back to sewing when her kids were small. Making clothes and costumes for them brought back that magic. And the internet showed her there was a whole community out there. No longer the only cosplayer in town, she dove in head first.

Now Astrid and her 3 kids (ages 13, 10, and 7) attend Cons every chance they get. In full costume, of course. She enters competitions in the handmade category and, though she’s modest, has taken home more than one win. In middle school, Astrid was big into theatre, Shakespeare, and creating Renaissance costumes.

An actor, director, voiceover artist, and singer, Leah cosplays characters from Arwen to Cruella De Vil to Mary Poppins. She teaches makeup and cosplay on Outschool but does both professionally for film, theatre, and events. To name a few, she designed costumes for the TV show Kookville and a stage production of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. She even did makeup and created costumes for the movie Demon Squad, which you can find in Season 13 of Mystery Science Theatre 3000. She believes that cosplay isn’t just about expressing yourself, it’s about developing yourself and creating a full aesthetic. Beyond that, she wants her students to know, they can make a career out of their creative passions. And she’ll help them do it.

Leah talks about her first Ren Faire experience: “It felt awesome because I was trying to be intentional about creating a costume for me. Not for a play. Not for someone else based on their vision. It was my vision. It was what I wanted to do.”

You feel different in your cosplay. The persona, the confidence. It can be hard to describe but Astrid and Leah teach toward that feeling in every class.

Specializing in Elizabethan and Italian Renaissance costumes, Astrid also cosplays Collei from Gensin Impact and loves growing her skills in the anime genre. She even runs a social club on Outschool where Genshin fans can hang out virtually and game together.

Astrid beams: “A lot of kids and adults choose a character and they try to match that persona. It’s a little bit of safety. I’ve had people scream ‘OH MY GOD ITS COLLEI’ and run over to me. Under normal circumstances that wouldn’t happen. But at Cons, it’s so exciting. It’s amazing to connect with other people through that persona.”

*** Leah, with her cosplay weapon collection behind her: “You feel more confident in your character’s costume. It’s a projection of your best self. A lot of work, your imagination, and your brain is now projected on the outside. People can see that part of you that they can’t see in any other situation.”

Leading by example, Leah shows her students that they can make their creative passions into careers. She beams when she talks about a student getting confident enough to make an Actor Instagram account. Or doing professional-level wedding makeup for their entire family.

Teaching online from Arkansas since 2018, Astrid volunteered for the first-ever Outschool Cosplay Convention in 2021. Now called GameCon, the 2-day event featured presentations at different times of day for different timezones. Sessions about costume design, makeup, theatre performance, and more. And, most exciting of all, the costume showcase. Every kid got a chance in the spotlight to show off their creations. Astrid, laughs now: “I burst into tears when I logged off. It was such a rush of emotions. I found my people! I wish I had this when I was a kid.”

The Future is Saved... So what does it hold for the Hamato-Jitsu fam now?

Here are my thoughts/headcanons:

Raph - The Greatest Hero New York’s Ever Known! Yes, Raph is still very much the Red Angel of Preventing Harm (though he may or may not change up his superhero outfit). Although there are no more huge threats to face for the most part, Raph is the only one of the fam who does the hero thing full-time, keeping the streets of NYC safe and helping out the little guy.

Outside of heroics, however, when he’s not on patrol, training or spending time with his fam, Raph is down in the Hidden City, helping out at (or possibly even being the head of) an orphanage, since I feel like Raph would want a job working with kids, helping them build confidence and feel safe ^v^

Leo - The World’s Greatest Ninja! While he - like most of his fam - only a part-time hero, Leo still puts his ninjutsu and strategic skills to good use whenever an old villain or a new threat rears its head. While Raph may have the reputation amongst NYC’s criminals of being hard-hitting and ever-determined, Leo has the reputation of being the one you never see coming. I could also see him being a Battle Nexus Champ if the Nexus ever became less deadly and more sport-like.

Leo also uses his status as a ninja master to be a true sensei and teach young students martial arts at his own dojo, having discovered a love for teaching and even training after gaining more confidence (GENUINE confidence, not cockiness or ego) in himself and his abilities/skills. Like Raph, he really just wants to help other kids so they don’t have to go through the same mistakes and harsh lessons he did as a kid.

Donnie - World Renowned Genius. Donnie’s future is the one that changes the least from the apocalypse version. Whether he’s making Kraang-destroying weapons or gadgets that improve humanity, he’s eventually able to create his Don-Tech company. He, naturally, becomes less of an edge-lord as he grows older (though he does still have a teeny bit of an ego) and just wants to use his tech to genuinely improve life and help people.

I also wanna bring back his love for botany that got cut from the series - I imagine he spends his weekends either holding himself up in his greenhouse (even he needs a break from tech sometimes) or reading various books at the Mystic Library.

Mikey - The Mystic Warrior/Ambassador and one of the BEST creatives around! With no Kraang to fight, Mikey’s quest for peace takes more of a diplomatic approach where he tries to act as an ambassador for both NYC and the Hidden City in the hopes of reuniting the two realms. Thankfully, his impressively strong mystic abilities and hero status + his kind heart have earned him a TON of respect from the Yokai.

Mikey also sometimes trains with Draxum, both to continue honing his mystic skills in case of emergencies and to spend time with his creator/Dad #2. When he’s not training, he’s cooking at Run of the Mill (though he still hopes to open his own restaurant eventually when he’s not so busy) or submitting new art pieces to various museums (he’s already sold several pieces). I also imagine him traveling the country/world whenever he’s craving new inspiration.

April - Top Reporter and Newscaster at Channel 6. Of course April accomplishes her journalism dreams! She even ends up getting a couple Pulitzer's eventually, being someone who’s known for being determined and unafraid when it comes to finding the root of a story. She’s also married with a wife (whether it’s Sunita, Cassandra or someone else, you decide) and possibly has a couple kids. Definitely has a cat and/or a dog, at least.

Splinter - Proud Dad till the very end. While he doesn’t die on the battlefield in this future, instead passing away previously in his sleep, I feel like he still dies when the Turtles are relatively young - likely their early 30s, mid-30s if they’re lucky. Prior to that, he encouraged his kids and supported each of their dreams and careers, being there for all their big moments - and STILL being there in a way, watching them from the spirit realm alongside the other Hamato ancestors.

Aaaand those are my thoughts! Let me know what you guys think and if you have any future headcanons for the boys + April and Splints.

The Surge of Martial Arts Among Kids: Fostering Discipline, Confidence, and Physical Fitness

In recent years, there has been a noticeable surge in the popularity of martial arts among children. This trend reflects a shift in parental preferences towards activities that not only keep kids physically active but also contribute to their holistic development. From traditional disciplines like karate and taekwondo to more contemporary forms like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the rise of Martial Arts NYC Adults among kids is transforming the landscape of youth sports and extracurricular activities.

Physical Fitness and Well-being:

Martial arts offer a comprehensive approach to physical fitness, encompassing strength, flexibility, endurance, and coordination. The structured training sessions involve a combination of aerobic and anaerobic exercises, contributing to the overall well-being of children. Engaging in martial arts from a young age establishes a foundation for a healthy and active lifestyle.

Discipline and Focus:

Central to the practice of martial arts is the cultivation of discipline and focus. Kids participating in martial arts programs learn the importance of following instructions, adhering to a set curriculum, and practicing techniques consistently. These lessons extend beyond the dojo or training facility, positively influencing behavior, academic performance, and everyday tasks.

Building Confidence and Self-esteem:

Martial arts instill a sense of confidence and self-esteem in children as they progress through their training. Achieving belts or ranks, mastering new techniques, and participating in competitions contribute to a child's sense of accomplishment. This newfound confidence often transcends into other aspects of their lives, fostering a positive self-image and resilience.

Respect and Courtesy:

Traditional martial arts emphasize respect and courtesy as integral components of training. Children learn to show respect to their instructors, fellow students, and the art itself. The structured hierarchy within martial arts schools promotes a culture of mutual respect, teaching kids the value of treating others with courtesy and consideration.

Conflict Resolution and Self-control:

Martial arts emphasize the importance of self-control and conflict resolution. Through controlled sparring and simulated combat scenarios, children learn how to manage their emotions, make strategic decisions under pressure, and resolve conflicts peacefully. These skills have practical applications in school, social interactions, and later in life.

Cultural Appreciation:

Many forms of martial arts have deep cultural roots, originating from various regions around the world. Participation in martial arts introduces children to different cultures and traditions, fostering a sense of global awareness and appreciation. This exposure broadens their perspectives and encourages cultural sensitivity.

Anti-bullying and Self-defense Skills:

Martial arts equip children with practical self-defense skills, empowering them to protect themselves if the need arises. Additionally, the values instilled in martial arts training often include a strong stance against bullying. Many programs emphasize the responsible use of martial arts knowledge, promoting a culture of non-violence and empathy.

Social Interaction and Teamwork:

Martial arts classes provide a unique social setting where children interact with peers who share similar interests. Working together in drills, sparring, and team activities fosters a sense of camaraderie and teamwork. These social interactions contribute to the development of valuable interpersonal skills.

Adaptability and Perseverance:

Learning martial arts requires adaptability and perseverance. Children encounter challenges, setbacks, and the need to learn new techniques. Facing and overcoming these obstacles instills a sense of resilience and perseverance, traits that are beneficial not only in martial arts but also in various aspects of life.

Fun and Enjoyment:

Perhaps one of the most significant reasons for the increase in martial arts participation among kids is the element of fun. Many martial arts programs incorporate engaging and enjoyable activities, making the learning process exciting for children. The combination of physical activity, skill development, and enjoyment makes martial arts a compelling choice for parents and kids alike.

Conclusion:

The surge of martial arts among kids signifies a shift in the way parents approach the extracurricular activities of their children. Beyond the physical benefits, martial arts contribute to the holistic development of children, fostering qualities such as discipline, confidence, respect, and teamwork. As more parents recognize the profound impact of martial arts on their children's lives, the trend is likely to continue, shaping a generation that embodies the principles of martial arts both inside and outside the dojo.

We’ve got seven books already available for your listening pleasure, as well as three books to watch for later this year.Brooklyn Sports Club Reviews, Complaints & Contacts | Complaints Board. So if you’re hesitant to give audiobooks a try, I highly recommend starting with a book written and narrated by a celebrity you admire. But I’ve also gained more interest in audiobooks from listening to celebrity narrators, and I’ve gotten into plenty of other audiobooks as well. Celebrity memoirs were my gateway into audiobooks because it’s easier for me to focus on a familiar voice, and they’re still the most likely to keep me listening. I often find my attention straying while listening to audiobooks and then have to rewind to figure out what I missed. I love audiobooks, but I also have a short attention span and limited listening skills (sorry, I’m a Gemini). Once you listen to these new and upcoming celebrity audiobooks narrated by the author, you might just find yourself hooked. Hearing a celebrity tell their story in their own words can have an entirely different impact from reading the words on paper. There’s something uniquely wonderful about listening to an author narrate their own audiobook - especially if that author is a celebrity you already know and love.

Not everyone can say they’ve been to the Big Apple, but Morag MacIntosh, a 35 year-old ciswoman has lived in Upper East Side, Manhattan for five years. This is the city of dreams and she knows it, because they came to NYC to be Editor-in-chief at The New York Times. Living in the city means they meet all kinds of people, but everyone always seems to think they look like Erin Richards. They even got away with free cab fare once because of it!

BIRTHNAME: Morag MacIntosh

ALIAS: Mo

DOB: April 1st 1986 (35)

ORIGIN: Edinburgh, Scotland

RESIDENCE: Upper East Side, Manhattan

OCCUPATION: Editor-in-chief at The New York Times

FAMILY: Barnabus MacIntosh (father, 70)

Greer MacIntosh (mother, 65)

Aisling MacIntosh (sister, 45)

Malcolm MacIntosh (brother, 35)

Mhairi MacIntosh (sister, 27)

POSITIVE TRAITS: resilient, determined, intuitive

NEGATIVE TRAITS: manipulative, blunt, narcissistic

FAVOURITE SONG: Will claim it’s Mozart’s Exsultate, jubilate, K. 165 but in reality it’s Woman by Kesha

A NOTE ON THE EDITOR

tw: murder, alcoholism

ambition and power have always been pillars that held the macintosh family above their peers. from the moment she was born, morag was conditioned for greatness.

although the firstborn twin, that ceased to mean anything until she reached her teenage years. her father was a traditional man, upset his eldest child wasn't a boy and pinning a great deal of hope on morag's brother from the moment he was born. as they grew, it started to become apparent that his son had not inherited the aggressively masculine thirst for ambition like his father. malcolm often preferred spending his time in creative pursuits. his short-lived sporting career wasn't even enough to appease him.

morag became the compromise. from a young age it was clear that she was much closer aligned with what her father expected in her brother. she knew how to charm a room and talk her way out of anything. she hated other kids, but often used them to get exactly what she wanted. although the family business was law, there was certain deals that were best kept behind closed doors. clients that her father shouldn't have been offering advice to that she would soften up with a smile and a story before they spoke to him. she wasn't in on the ploy, but she learned that appealing to people's better nature earned her what she wanted. whether that was extra pocket money or getting to stay up past her bed time or the chance to fire the nanny, it didn't matter. manipulation was a fine art and she intended to perfect it.

as she grew up, the scams became more fun. as she understood what these kind of men wanted, she learned the true power that her smile and a few well-worded questions. that wasn't to say her relationship with her father was much better than her siblings - he was a temperamental man that didn't like people and liked scotch just a little too much - but it was still better.

when she and her brother were twelve years old, they were sent to boarding school in switzerland. morag hated it immediately. it wasn't the routine or the actual education - she was smart, she liked the challenge - but rather it was the other people. having to share a room with two other girls was the greatest strife of her life... which said a lot about the kind of life she was used to.

it was towards the end of her schooling that the cracks begin to show. her sister was an attorney with a family of her own, on track to continue doing exactly what was expected of her, but the mere thought turned mo's stomach. she had never liked the thought of doing something she wasn't passionate about for the rest of her life. especially putting in so much genuine hard work for little to no reward. her long-desired ballet career had fizzled out when her father suddenly decided she should no longer get lessons whilst he was in one of his moods. what she had always liked doing... was solving mysteries. or rather, creating mysteries and then pretending to solve them for attention.

it was only natural that that would manifest into a career in journalism, right?

everybody loves a well-written lie.

journalistic integrity was never her goal. after completing her undergraduate degree in paris, she moved on to columbia university to broaden her portfolio. all the while, she wrote articles on a broad spectrum of topics. however, fashion and crime were her greatest interests. the real breakthrough came after the murder of a renowned designer that was written off as natural causes. mo didn't believe it, the pieces didn't add up. and thus was born the now infamous article and glorious piece of investigative journalism - how to design your own death. the relatively poor title choice would haunt her for the rest of her career, but it was something that earned her enough renown to fly through her internship years and gain a steady footing in the world of journalism.

Brand new York Singles: Guide for Dating in New York

2, 2012 april Looking to impress a night out together ny City? Whether you’re brand new in town or a life-long New Yorker, here are a few fun date some ideas to consider within the ny. Dating in New York: Walk!

Ditch the car. New York has got the most mass that is extensive in the country. Explore the very pedestrian-friendly city on foot, by bike, take a cab or ride the subway. Wander through the evening’s chosen borough — The Village is a superb spot you wouldn’t notice just driving through if you love bistros, jazz clubs, and great art — and discover hole-in-the-wall gems. Dating in Nyc: Regarding The Rooftops Nyc City has some of this best high-rises on the planet. Take your date to new heights and dine over the city streets. Whenever the weather’s beautiful, the Met opens its romantic rooftop garden café on Friday and Saturday evenings. It’s a great first-date spot for sipping cocktails while you swoon over the view. The Bookmarks Lounge is a yard rooftop during the Library Hotel with great views of Midtown Manhattan, both Top for the Strand and 230 Fifth offer prime views of the Empire State Building, and ‘70s-inspired Jimmy at The James resort hands over a 360-degree view of Soho. In the event that you want a little activity in your rooftop adventures, check out City Ice Pavillion, Queens’ only rooftop rink. Dating in Ny: The Big Green An outdoor date in New York City should be an obvious one with over 28,000 acres of municipal parkland. Central Park, the world-famous 883-acre park Manhattan is the many visited park in the nation and for valid reason: Ice rinks, the Central Park Zoo, the Central Park Conservatory Garden, Belvedere Castle, Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre, and the historic Carousel all call it home. Get for a stroll, have a picnic, splurge on a carriage trip, or pull out your rollerblades for an enjoyable, affordable date that celebrates your beautiful city. Some other green spaces worth visiting: Prospect Park in Brooklyn, Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens, nyc Botanical Gardens in the Bronx, and Washington Square Park in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village. Dating in Ny: Fun, Fun, Fun Dating in New York City doesn’t need certainly to be severe. Enjoy some flirty/competitive laser label at NYC Paintball in Queens. Play ping-pong at SPiN. Revisit childhood board that is favorite while ingesting adult beverages at East Village’s Common Ground. The Whiskey Brooklyn has a great game space, complete with arcade games, photo foosball and booth. Cheer on your team — seven screens follow most major league sports — while you challenge your date at Shuffleboard. Embrace your internal preschooler whenever you meet up for drinks, and drink on Momofuku Milk Bar’s addicting “Cereal Milk.” (To complement: try the “Compost Cookie.”) Laugh the night away at Greenwich Village’s famous Comedy Cellar. You might also catch a shock performance by a comedy legend. (Chris Rock and Aziz Ansari have been proven to show up unannounced.) If you prefer your fun— that is cheap free — you’re in luck: Complimentary plays and performances that are musical to Summerstage in Central Park every summer. Magnet Theater offers intro that is free Improv classes. BAFcaf in Brooklyn hosts free jazz/world/R&B that is live weekend. And you’ll find The After Party, a free Broadway-inspired open mike, in the basement of Laurie Beechman Theater in Midtown every Friday. Dating in Nyc: Get Cultured It’s been called “the cultural capital of the world.” New York City is a world-class contender in art, cuisine, opera, theater, music, museums, fashion, literature, and independent film. There’s no shortage of museums to go to, music to enjoy, or fashion to covet. Enigma’s mystery that is outdoor will just take you on a walking tour of historic Brooklyn Heights. And Sleep No More will draw you in as a member of its masked, moving audience. Get inspired by contemporary art at the MoMa — there’s always a exhibit that is new lining up for — or visit the former mansion of steel magnate Henry Clay Frick in the Upper East Side to ooh and aah over the Frick Collection, an impressive compilation of paintings and sculptures by some of Europe’s best artists. Dating in Brand New York: Learn This has been claimed that you learn something new every day. Make your date an educational one and take a class together. Foodies can make their pizza at Pizza a Casa Pizza School, perfect French macarons at Mille-Feuille Bakery Cafe’s workshop, or — if you’re comfortable with each other and planning that is you’re #31, maybe not Date # 1 — concoct a sensual meal for 2 courtesy of Appetite for Seduction. Chocoholics, try your hand at making chocolate at JoMart Chocolates. Artsy folks will appreciate Paint Along, a two-hour paint class that lets you drink — it’s BYOB — while you create. Graffiti artist Jesse Edwards offers an class that is introductory graffiti art, tagging and lettering. And at Mud, perspiration and Tears, you can reenact that scene that is infamous Ghost while you make your own pottery. If you’d rather be an action hero than Patrick Swayze, just take your date to Westside Rifle & Pistol where you’ll uncover to shoot .22 caliber rifles together. Dating in Ny: Stylish Keep things casual — and bet-a-beer worthy — by deciding on a stylish date. Cheer on the Yankees, Mets, Giants, Jets, Rangers, Knicks, or Red Bulls either during the game or at a sports bar. If you prefer sports live, but would additionally rather save yourself your hard earned money, check out some minor hockey. The Brooklyn Aces tickets that are a fraction of the Rangers’. If you would rather be active than watch others, you can perfect your swing at Chelsea Piers’ heated driving range, hone your competitive Skee-Ball skills at Full Circle Bar (the national home of Brewskee-Ball), rent a rowboat at the Loeb Boathouse in Central Park, embrace your inner Robin Hood at Pro Line Archery Lanes, or spend the entire evening at Brooklyn Bowl, where you can bowl, dine and dance at a single venue. Dating in New York: Touristy Simply because you call New York home doesn’t mean that you can’t be a tourist in your own backyard. Channel the ending that is romantic of in Seattle — spoiler alert! — and meet your date at the very top of this Empire State Building. Where haven’t you been? Ice skate at Rockefeller Center, or ride the Wonder Wheel on Coney Island. Be a young kid again at FAO Schwartz. Attend the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade (or the Halloween Parade in Greenwich Village) day. Line up for Broadway rush seats. Get an education that is international the United Nations Headquarters. Enjoy cheap drinks on the (free!) Staten Island ferry as you check out the nation’s most statue that is famous. Celebrate your city as visitors do. Dating in New York: Old-School Living in the past? Arrange a retro date. Brand new York was considered a center for jazz within the ‘40s, and still remains a hot spot for live jazz every night of the week. Check out tiny jazz wine and joint bar Louis 649 in the East Village, or Cleopatra’s Needle on the Upper West Side. Take swing dance lessons at Dance Manhattan Studios, then head to Raines Law Room, Death + Company, or Apothéke, all modern-day speakeasies. Cobble Hill’s Clover Club feels as though it belongs in the 1920s, along with its walls that are paneled retro cocktails and jazz criteria and ballads serenading clients every Wednesday evening. Skip a couple decades and walk into The Astor Room, a supper that is‘40s-themes, complete with live jazz piano and cocktails named for Hollywood legends. McSorley’s Old Ale House is the oldest tavern that is irish the city, dating back to the mid-1800s. The floors are covered in sawdust, and the faded American flag hanging through the entryway has only 48 stars. Order a beer — dark or light are your only options — and sit back when the bartender slams the half pints down on your slightly table that is sticky. There’s only one rule here: Be good or be gone. Dating in New York: Movie Night Want to catch a movie? Your city is the world leader in independent film production; so for a memorable night out, choose for something only a little less commercial. If you’re still searching for that perfect retro night out, Williamsburg’s one-screen Spectacle Theater frequently screens silent films, accompanied by live music. You’ll find rare films and cult classics here, too. In the spring, the Tribeca Film Festival takes over Lower Manhattan. Catch a screening that includes a Q&A with your favorite director and try to predict which flicks will become award-season darlings later in the year. The retro Brooklyn Heights Cinema showcases independent, international and films that are art-house. As an added draw, they have a cappuccino bar — and offer their specialty that is in-house coke! At the Film Forum is New York’s just autonomous nonprofit cinema. The cinema that is three-screen works by emerging filmmakers, international art movies, US classics, and retrospectives. Here you’ll find films that other theaters would take a chance n’t on. At Nitehawk Cinema, the go-to date of dinner and a movie is combined into a delicious (and boozy, if you so choose) movie-going experience. Enjoy tableside food and beverage service — nightly specials are concocted to complement your movie choice — as you watch independent films and favorites that are cult.

Task #1

Basic Information

Full Name: Jonathan Scott James-Michaels.

Nickname(s): Johnny, John, Jay (Briel only). D.A. James-Michaels.

Age: 47 years young.

Date of Birth: May 10, 1973.

Hometown: Manhattan, New York.

Current Location: Yep, you guessed it – Manhattan, New York.

Gender: Male.

Pronouns: Johnny goes by he/him pronouns only.

Sexual Orientation: Mostly gay. He has been attracted to women in the past, but it has been extremely rare.

Occupation: District Attorney of New York County, N.Y.

Living Arrangements: Johnny lives with Briel in the home they bought and renovated together in 2010.

Language(s) Spoken: English (native), French (proficient), Spanish (intermediate).

Accent: Typically, Johnny doesn’t have a very strong accent; as an attorney of 22 years, he has worked on having skilled vocal control. He also had voice lessons as a kid. However, when he’s not paying attention, not at work, or gets really into an argument, his accent is clearly NYC metropolitan.

Physical Appearance

Hair Color: Dirty blonde/light brown.

Eye Color: Blue, very blue.

Height: 6′1″.

Build: Johnny usually maintains a fairly athletic and somewhat muscular physique.

Tattoos: Two. 1) A drunken “accident” in college that he now hides. Only Briel has ever gotten to see it. 2) His husband’s initials over his heart.

Piercings: None. Never. And none in the future.

Clothing Style: Johnny is almost always found in a suit due to his profession. If he doesn’t have court, he’ll wear slacks and a button-up or a sweater. On his off days, he’s mostly business casual. At home, he dresses as most guys do (e.g., a t-shirt and jeans).

Favorite Accessories: His watch and his wedding ring.

Distinguishing Characteristics: Undeniably, Johnny’s eyes are hard to miss. People comment on his teeth/smile. Mainly, he’s noticed for the way he commands a room.

Health

Physical Conditions: None. Johnny’s physical health is good. He wears contact lenses and has a couple scars, but that’s it.

Mental Health Conditions: Alcohol Abuse Disorder - in remission.

Allergies: Some mild seasonal allergies, but nothing severe.

Sleeping Habits: Johnny typically goes to bed at or before 10:00 PM and wakes up around 5:30 AM (much to Gabriel’s chagrin). On the weekends, he’s a little more lax. One thing everybody knows about Johnny is that he can sleep anywhere, and will fall asleep when/wherever he feels the urge.

Eating Habits: Mostly healthy/balanced. He sticks to lean meats, veggies, etc., although he isn’t obsessed. Food just isn’t on his mind a lot. Johnny will often forget to eat if someone doesn’t feed him.

Exercise Habits: He enjoys running, boxing, and weightlifting a few times a week.

Addictions: None anymore, thankfully. He will smoke a cigar every now and again, but it’s far from an addiction.

Drug Use: In college, he experimented with psychedelics, molly, and weed. It didn’t stick.

Alcohol Use: Once or twice a year now that he is sober. One drink + water.

Personality

Label: It’s literally impossible to pick just one, right??? The Competitor (attorney + personality), The Advocate, The Liberator, and The Reformer (attorney), and The Thinker (personality). Different ones at different times, and sometimes a combination.

Positive Traits: Intelligent, caring, hardworking, methodical, clean/organized, passionate.

Negative Traits: Competitive, stubborn, argumentative, blunt, relentless.

Goals/Desires: Taking an extended vacation on the boat. Seeing the aurora borealis. Raising/watching his kids grow successfully. Retiring and spending more of life with his husband. Seeing justice prevail more often than not.

Fears: Losing his family. Heights.

Hobbies: Watching the New York Yankees, taking care of and going out on his boat, playing with his pets + kids, cooking, reading, singing, traveling, taking Gabriel out.

Habits: Running his hands through his hair, chewing on pens, drinking when stressed (past).

Favorites

Season/Weather: Fall. Not too hot, not too cold.

Color: Probably blue. Maybe green.

Music Genre: Rock, singer-songwriter, classical.

Movie: Legally Blonde? He doesn’t watch a lot of movies because he doesn’t really have time, but when he does, he falls asleep during at least half of them.

Sport: Baseball, but he will also watch football.

Beverage: Coffee at all times of the day.

Food: Sushi? Pizza? Steak? Not picky.

Animal: Dogs. Definitely dogs.

Family

Father: Geoffrey Warren Michaels – former Wall Street analyst (deceased since June 2020).

Mother: Virginia Lorraine Matthews – former private practice attorney; current co-owner of Matthews & Wyatt, LLC. She resides at 305 West End Assisted Living Facility and is 87 years of age (although still sharp as a tack).

Sibling(s): None; a spoiled only child.

Children: Juliet Michaels (biological daughter), Andrew James (stepson), Constance James (stepdaughter), Arabella James-Michaels (adopted daughter, step-granddaughter via Constance).

Pet(s): Four dogs, two cats, a rabbit, a donkey, and an alpaca. The last two live at Gabriel’s place from when they were separated in 2018.

Other Important People: Sam Wilder – best friend. Joan Lourd (deceased; best friend for many years). His staff at the D.A.’s office. Gabriel’s friends and coworkers are also often a big part of his life (Nicola, Kale, Kid, Abby, etc.).

Extra

Zodiac Sign: Taurus – smart, ambitious, stubborn, hardworking, inflexible, reliable, pleasure-seeking, resilient, blunt.

MBTI: ENTJ – The Commander. While Johnny wavers between introverted and extroverted, this personality type fits him best. “People with this personality type embody the gifts of charisma and confidence, and project authority. Commanders can be dominant and relentless. They are true powerhouses. They cultivate an image of being larger than life – and often enough, they are.” Strengths: strategic, efficient, strong-willed, inspiring. Weaknesses: stubborn, impatient, ruthless.

Hogwarts House: Ravenclaw – intelligence, knowledge, curiosity, creativity, and wit.

Moral Alignment: Lawful Neutral: The Judge – law, tradition, order, organization, reliable, honorable. However, Johnny would not fit with the weaknesses; he is very appreciative of diversity and freedom.

Primary Vice: Pride – excessive belief in one’s own abilities; also known as Vanity.

Primary Virtue: Diligence – no matter what stands in their way, one with this virtue will accomplish their goals + stay true to their core beliefs.

Element: Earth – real, methodical, physical, bull-headed. Though Johnny has characteristics of Fire (natural leader, dynamic) and Air (clever, free-thinking), and he has wished to garner more Water characteristics, Earth fits him best.
