hi babies i went to bed early last night bc i work mad hours today so i’ll get around to replies on my disc later ! thank u to everyone who sent some asks im still working on the phone meme ones from last week asndknskdn ily’all .
“ i wish i wasn’t such a fucking coward to open up to you . you deserve better than what’s been happening between us and sometimes i wonder if i could be that man i keep thinking you deserve . i hope i’m not pushing you too fucking far away . i’m sorry . ”
“ i’ve scraped my elbow down to the bone before , i thought i was gonna be a dad at 20 , and i’ve been written out of my family inheritance . go buckwild with the speculation kids . ”
“ she fucks over everyone she gets her nasty ass talons around . first milo , now adonis . i don’t know if it’s the stuck up bitch attitude or the lack of literally any talent to her name , but something about her’s got everyone hooked . who knows . i’m grossed out reading her name . ” @lindberghtm
001 . juni dragged silas along to a hot yoga class and silas , in his eternal stupidity , forgot to bring something to drink . juni , unwilling to let him sweat all over her water bottle , was not keen on sharing . it was quite the uproar to watch all 180 lbs of man topple over out of standing pigeon after a bout of dehydration rendered him unconscious .
002 . silas is pretty sure he and juni have made out before at one of the clubs she dragged him by the ear to attend , though he was more than likely drunk and likely complained to her about his love life both before and after . he gets vague recollections of the memory when the smell of her lip gloss wafts to him from when she talks , but at this point , he’s lowkey too embarrassed to ask if he was hallucinating it or not .
003 . their friendship is likely a product of juni’s tenacity as the two could not be more different . they actually started through simple dm’s , her starting a conversation with him ( and then calling him out when he read it and didn’t reply ) and something about her unashamedly being herself , no filter , really resonated with silas despite their general differences . they’ve been friends ever since , and now , silas is usually the one texting first and being left on read .
004 . silas finds himself apologizing for juni’s behavior almost like the maid with a dustpan following her tasmanian devil sprees , but never apologizes for her in herself . though her methods of moving through the world stress him the fuck out , he’d never ask her to change — perhaps just call less people out in the process so he can enjoy a simple evening out without the fear that juni will pick a fight .
“ man i get so fucking tired i can sleep anywhere . i’ll pass out sitting up in the car , slump at the club , anywhere . i’m usually a stomach sleeper though , my face gets fuckin buried into that pillow . ”
* coupled up , silas is fond of being backpacked and likes being the little spoon , but also massively enjoys half - snuggles while he’s on his stomach and his bed mate is curled up half beneath him .
🏠 - What does their living space look like?
silas , fond of thrift shops and antiques , picks up little cool things he finds on his journeys or eccentric gifts he’s given throughout his travels . i picture his ues loft to look something like this . notably , he has an entire wall with shelves dedicated to trinkets brought to him by devin throughout their childhood , organized by size as they’re so odd , he’s given up trying to categorize them in any other way . @outspokens
“ shocking to no one , i’m not really crazy about sweets . i’m into sweet drinks i guess but i’ll survive if i don’t have dessert . i do like red vines like fuck though , catch me chewing on those shits in half my skate videos . vegan , pretty good shit . ”
“ hoodie , chinos , beanie or headband to keep the hair back . t shirt if its too warm for hoodies . i like flannels too i guess . i’ve been wanting to get my nose pierced so bad but i think i’m pretty conservative with the decor besides like , my wallet chain , i dunno . i got called tilly’s employee of the month once by someone . love being called out . “
( a general aesthetic claim for si would be matt champion’s style . 🤍 )
👶 - As a kid, what were they like?
“ i sucked . “
silas was , surprisingly , rather similar to adonis’s disposition now . outgoing , adventurous , and full of energy , it’s an interesting case of nature vs nurture to see how the constant critique and rejection of his father and his mother’s apathy towards doing something about it shaped him . incredibly sweet and deeply sensitive , silas was fearless and headstrong , two traits that seem to only carry over now in his skate career , as he’s otherwise grow into being an overly - cautious and calloused human being .
“ my skincare routine is surprisingly complicated ‘cause i’m scarred up so often from wiping out , if i wasn’t on top of my moisturizing game i’d be full cocoon in scabs by now . kinda gross but i guess since most people expect i just roll around in dirt and call it a day , it’s kinda random that i have a routine that might put donnie’s to shame . ”
💢 - Something other’s do that gets on their nerves
“ man get the fuck off that high horse of flaunting your wealth . a nice watch , a cool car , whatever , but when you start dropping figures on a regular that’s how i know you’re overcompensating . “
🍙 - Favorite snack
“ i’ll eat seaweed all fuckin day man . i carry packs of them on me . i smell like the ocean by the time im done snacking , it’s so much salt but so fucking good . ”
💀 - What are they afraid of?
“ i’d hate to see anything happen to donnie . he’s too soft to handle bad things . ” @ftadonis
“ i think i self - impose my own limits on how close people get to me so i can control who hurts me and who doesn’t . people can’t reject me if i reject them first , right ? ”

* moments with karina : karina is one of the few people silas has opened up to about his interest in being a film director , and she encourages the idea wholeheartedly . when the two were at the peak of their closeness , he often practiced his stylistic videos by recording karina herself , but not for his youtube channel . something about the intimacy of having these personal films , documenting their friendship for themselves and no one else , put a pit in silas’ stomach . he has a few short films in this style , him following karina around on her many errands for the day , but the one documenting their exploration through nyc ( with a special appearance of their own stupid handshake ) is one of his favorites . he tries not to linger too long on the way she smiles seeing him behind the camera , the way his breath catches when he gets a glimpse of herself standing so unaware of what laid ahead of them . during their brief separation ( mostly at his own fault for not knowing what his own heart wanted ) he watched these videos fondly each time he thought to text her , hoping that giving her the space he thought she needed would be enough to keep her in his life .
funnily enough , she remained on the other side of that phone , thinking the same thing , and yet in what seems to be their own divine tragedy , this theme of “ trying to incorrectly read the other’s mind ” might end up being their downfall .
* related song : self control by frank ocean . silas and karina have vastly different musical tastes that they often tease the other about , though he will credit her with the megan the stallion songs she did put him on . though music isn’t a massive connection of theirs , he finds himself repressing so many feelings regarding their relationship , music becomes his cathartic way of thinking about her without having to unpack any emotions . maybe it’s their mutual downfall , their unwillingness to explore whatever else could come from this , but silas relegates himself to repressing his feelings with ease , more concerned with keeping her in his life than rocking the boat trying to make something more of themselves . he finds his thoughts drifting to her for a handful of songs , usually on solo skates through the city , the most notable of which being this one . between blaming himself for not being tempered enough to know better and not let things go any further , as well as pleas to keep a place for him , the song is a somber reminder to silas to keep his head on straight and push away any thoughts of moving their close friendship beyond that , regardless of what their chemistry may imply could work between them — completely unbeknownst to him , karina is in her corner , thinking the exact same .
in collaboration with nike sb , silas barker posts a short but sweet story set to gum by moose blood . though his claim to fame was with vert ramp skateboarding , his heart belongs to freestyle and street skating , and special access to a helipad in one of the ues’s quieter blocks allows him to explore his claim to fame once more . joined by a few friends , his love for the sport is palpable in the excitement in his voice as he anticipates a fall — luckily at this height , he manages to keep all his wits about him .
no matter how much she tried to avoid seeing silas , he’d been her best friend for so long that it just didn’t feel right not talking to or seeing him . it only took her a week to come to that conclusion , no doubt she was weak when it came to him . after using her go to coping method of consuming some substances to make the feelings she was trying so hard to hide more bearable before making her way over to his place after previously making plans with him via text . the brunette holds in a deep breath as she makes her way up to his front door , offering a soft smile as she spots him on the other side . “ hey you , ” she says softly , moving to wrap her arms around his neck in a gentle embrace . “ sorry it took me so long to get back to you . i’ve been super busy , ” karina slips the white lie past her lips as she makes her way into the all too familiar home . “ what have you been up to ? ”
“ hey yourself . ” it’s a pathetic response , he’s fully aware of it , but he’s not sure where he’s supposed to take their conversation given the extent to which is left up in the air between them . a part of him was hurt from the space they took between them : a mutual agreement to preserve their friendship , yes , but he’d be lying if he were to say that a part of him didn’t want to know where their developments could lead . “ no worries . you know me . i don’t have shit to do . i didn’t even notice . ” he bites back the awkwardness in the realization of his words — he doesn’t even know why the fuck he just said that , of course he had noticed her absence , the hover of his fingers over every text he wanted to send but didn’t . “ happy to see you though , ” he adds quickly , covering for his mistake , before he’s caught off guard by her grasp on him . she smells the same , he notes to himself , returning her hug with a gentle squeeze as his eyes shut , holding onto the moment as fleeting as it is . she pulls away and he follows , rubbing at his jaw in the realization of just how much self - control they’ll have to exercise between them now with things being so different . “ i’ve been practicing for a new skate video . i’m supposed to post one by friday for this brand i’m working with but my vlogging schedule has gotten in the way so i’m fucked and cutting it way too close . my dumb ass , ” he snorts at himself , falling back onto the couch . “ what about you ? anything new ? ”
