[be-the-glenn-to-my-maggie]

Unfortunately for you guys, I just started the paper my foolish professor let me write about studious deracination in James Cameron’s Avatar, so get ready for some some academic posts to start trickling in. Here is a more detailed post of the tiktok I made. 

Today we are going to talk about race as an allegory in Avatar again!!! Avatar (2009) is a pretty blatant representation of indigenous peoples on Earth being colonized. Like, I don’t think anyone disputes that. But why do this and not make a movie about colonization?? Why make them aliens??

By separating these things from our real world, our real history, things we may have bias about, we can view it from a completely fresh lens. There's a deliberate choice to present a different planet and a different species and in that way, they have that allegory for colonization, for racism, for the destruction of our planet, be more evident and sympathetic to everyone viewing it as an example of our planet and these real-world things that are happening. Sometimes it’s easier to approach these issues when you don’t feel like they are targeting you. 

However, I feel like there's an interesting, perhaps not intentional, thing that James Cameron did as well with the second movie and that is addressing colorism. I read a lot of your fanfictions, okay, I read ‘em. Every time they're set in the modern era and our main characters are human there is a conscious choice to have Jake Sully's biological children Tuk and Neteyam be darker skinned, and to have Lo’ak be lighter skinned. We are all picking up on something that is implied in the narrative that I don't think anyone intended to be there. I don’t wanna give James Cameron too much credit in that regard. Let’s talk about that phenomenon. 

So this is studiously deracinating something, it’s a narrative strategy defined by an evacuated racial consciousness that ironizes assumptions of white universalism and uncritical postracialism. So what does that mean? That means by taking race out of the equation in something, the concept of race, it allows you to analyze the same concepts in more of an unbiased way, just as stated above with the first Avatar. It allows you to kind of look at yourself as well, your own biases and how they come into play while you’re reading or watching something. You are fully unaffected by the concept of race in the novel and are more so affected by your own assumptions. 

I think there’s such an interesting example of this in Avatar because of the way we have been perceiving Lo’ak and his outcast status in this movie and the way I’ve seen so many people perceive him as lighter skinned than his siblings. He has more traditionally human features compared to the other Na’vi, and this sets him apart and he is treated differently. I think so many people connect with him without fully realizing why. In Avatar we know that the Na’vi represent the indigenous and people of color, while the humans represent colonizers, majority white people. We take the colorism step without even thinking about it, our own assumptions and biases take us there. Just a thought. :)

#i'll prob make a follow up post with books and movies and stuff centered around studious deracination texts written and intentionally used #by authors of filmmakers of color #because of course the point of avatar as james cameron and jon laundau have stated #is to elevate these voices #but ur welcome for this insight into my next paper #i hope maia regrets letting me do it #lo'ak sully #jake sully #neteyam sully #tuktirey sully #neytiri sully #james cameron #avatar #avatar the way of water #james cameron avatar #melissas academic bullshit #melissa og #melissa on avatar (cameron) #melissa is an english major

[autumnalfallingleaves]

(If you're bothered by this, you can just delete it) I wouldn't normally say anything, but since you've seemed interested in grammar stuff in the past - I don't think ''dearth'' is the word you want in your tag on that fanfiction post. Having ''a dearth of fics'' would mean you have very few options to choose from, which seems like the opposite of what you wanted to say? Unless I'm misunderstanding you, which is always possible.

No, no, you're all right, and you're right- the word I should've used was "wealth," not "dearth," but in my defense, I had just woken up lol.

#probs go back and change that in a sec #thanks for pointing that out- i should know better bc if the whole being an english major thing but. well. #Words Difficult Sometimes #beans answers

[ofpd]

i have to either take more than 2 english classes per quarter or take summer classes or not graduate on time. ugh

#''wait to decide ur major itll be fine'' ok well. what if i'd gotten started on this earlier #like it just took me a while to decide on one but if i had. that wouldve been nice. #i dont wanna take summer classes bc most arent offered online and this city is dead during the summer i'd be so depressed #and i dont want to take more than 2 english classes bc thats so so much of similar things #and i dont want to take more than 4 years bc so much money. ugh #i'll probably do summer classes. theyre only 6 weeks #txt #im not worried abt my minor though lol ive completed at least 8/20 units and lots the other classes seem interesting #i say ''at least'' bc idk if i can use a class for both my major and minor and if i cant then im def using it for just my major #and also bc the minor is jewish studies and i think my yiddish classes were technically upper div? i can prob get them to count

[moonsacebitch]

Not me getting all touchy-feely over cleaning my room for the last time before shipping all my important stuff to my uni flat :')

#Well. #1.10.2022 is the day I'll officially be an English major #I'm memeing at it so hard #But also there's this- fucking melancholy in the air #Like I now know I won't be here often enough to actually get that room so dirty again #Not until Christmas break at least #And I probs won't even be able to celebrate christmas/easter with my family #As those are the times I would have finals #And I don't celebrate at the same time Catholics celebrate #Uni #I guess #echo rambles

[sorryimananti-romantic]

Yk how San knows about Fanfictions now? :))))))) What if some of your followers are actually Ateez? :))))) What if Elaichi is Wooyoung? What if constipated anon is actually Seonghwa? WHAT IF I AM HONGJOONG? (hehehe or whatever)

No but Constipated anon gives major Seonghwa vibes. He looks the most likely to get constipated. ARE YOU SEONGHWA??? (marry me if you are plz plz)

(In case it's true, Mingi if you're reading this come back I made dinner.)

oh we've got nothing to worry about they'll prob be exhausting the korean fics first (i gotta find those now too) and hopefully they'll be too traumatised to touch english so we're safe 😃

WHY YOU DOING SEONGHWA DIRTY THO AJDJSGAJSJWJAG (seonghwa bby if it's you come back home that's enough of fooling around 😤)

Hello, this is my first time requesting, and I'm kinda nervous.

May I ask for request where Junkrat (from overwatch) would comfort genre neutral s/o who's having major pains in legs or in hands druing night and they can't sleep?

Hope you have good evening/day/morning=D

(English isn't my mother language so I apologize for any grammar mistakes)

|| I hope this works, and I hope you have a wonderful day (or so on) ALSO I'M SO SORRY FOR HOW LONG THIS TOOK ME TO WRITE :(

Featuring: Junkrat x GN!Reader Warnings: Angst, Comfort, SWEET OL' FLUFF! Not Proof Read, Prob Non-Canon

Junkrat was fast asleep next to you, you watched him sleeping peacefully wondering how in the world he did it. Go through so much, fighting, bombs, all of the sorts when you can't even go to sleep cause your hand is hurting. You looked down at your hand, cursing at it under your breath. "Damn you." You whispered in a hushed tone not wanting to wake up the sleeping beauty next to you. You were trying to use your other hand to press down in certain places of your hand, trying to make the pain release even just a little bit. But one wrong move and it felt like you had just ripped your hand in half, you breathing in aggressively through your teeth and your head flung back against the wall slamming into it and making a loud bang.

Junkrat was immediately awakened by the loud sound, his first reaction was to turn to you and place his arm around your waste. That's when the two of you made eye contact, your eyes were welling up and the water was screaming for freedom to fall down your cheeks. Junkrat noticed, he noticed everything about you. Though he may seem like an idiot he was not an idiot when it came to you, you were his everything. His motivation was to get up and continue the way he lived his life.

He sat himself up and he grabbed your face with his one existing hand, his thumb caressing your cheek. "What the matter love?" He asked in a hushed tone, trying to read your facial expression. "Nothin'." You spoke out, trying to move your head away from his hand not wanting to look him in the eyes as you felt tears falling down your cheeks. Junkrat knew you were lying, the way you grew distant and hid. He moved swiftly off the side of the bed, grabbing his metal arm and attaching it back to him so that he was able to grab your face with both hands.

His metal arm was cold against your cheek and it almost made you feel... relaxed. His metal arm gently pressed your cheek so that you would look at him, "Love, be honest." He spoke out, his voice was calmer and quieter than it usually was. It made your heart skip a few beats, "Just..." You stopped to clear your throat so you wouldn't break down into a sob fest. "My hand.. really hurts." You told him, showing him the hurt that was keeping you from sleeping peacefully next to him.

Junkrat frowned when you told him this, his eyes moved down to look at your hand before he used his other hand to grab it. He carefully brought it closer to his face and gave it a small peck, "I'll heal it with me magical kiss!" He called out, as he looked at you with his normal goofy smile. "I quite think hands are annoying." He stated, seeing as he was missing a whole arm and a finger from his other perfect arm. You laughed at him and his attempt to make you feel better.

You looked at him and watched as his eyes came back to meet with yours, "Do you need anythin'?" He asked, his face turning to more of a worry and loving expression. You shook your head, "No.. just... you" You requested of the blonde, "All I need is you." You said and you watched as his cheeks turned a bright pink before he wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you down with him as he laid down.

"Well this lad is all yours~" He hummed happily, as he stared up at you. You two lay there for a moment staring lovingly into each other's eyes before you eventually leaned down to press a quick yet tender kiss. "I love you, Jamison." You say to him, his smile growing bigger and reaching ear to ear. "I love you too [Name], maybe even a lil' more." He winked at you causing you to giggle then relax your head on his chest.

The sound of his heartbeat was relaxing, the way it grew calmer as he slowly fell back asleep. Your eyes begin to threaten sleep as well, you take a moment to make sure that you are truly here and not dreaming before you allow your body to drift off to sleep.

[olderthannetfic]

I'm have a little prob. So uhh, I'm attempting writing a fic but I've see that a lot of people complain/critique when someone describe a character using the hair color. Like, «the red-headed said». Personally I don't find it annoying (only when overused in every single paragraph), but a lot people say it's bad to describe characters that way. Aaaaaand here's my problem: how can I describe a character that no one knows their name? (I'm writing my fic in third person but it isn't omnipresent, more like just focusing on a specific character's feelings and all of that. POV but not actually that POV-y, BTW.) Have anyone a tip for describing this character without using the «the red-headed said» or abusing «that boy», «the stranger», etc. I prefer asking because a lot of articles and all of that crap that appear when I google it aren't really helping, LOL. Thanks!

--

OH GOD EPITHETS

That POV is called 'third person limited', and the POV does convey character. The description you should use is the one that the POV character would actually think in their head.

The reason the hair color thing is so egregious is two problems:

First, the vast majority of the time, this is not how you'd be thinking of someone whose name you didn't know. You'd be thinking "the bank teller" or "the girl in the corner". If you're looking at security footage in color that's shot from above, you might ID various people by their hair color. If you're super horny for redheads or if red hair is super unusual or important to the plot, you might think of this lady by her hair color. But in general, it's not an in-character way to describe anybody.

(This also applies to bullshit like "the shorter man" or "the younger man" when the dude isn't like 30 years younger or a foot shorter. 99% of fanfic uses are about characters who are a centimeter different in height and look the same age.)

The second reason is amply demonstrated above. Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of fic uses hair colors in ways that are not grammatical or natural in English, whether the author is clearly EFL like you or a native speaker. You need a noun.

"The redhead said..."

"The blond said..." (men only)

The blonde said..." (women only)

"The brunette said..." (women only)

Notice that there is no male equivalent of 'brunette' in English. If you want a dude version, it's "the brown-haired man". All other hair colors including black are "the [whatever]-haired person". Fandom really needs to lay off 'bluenette', 'pinkette', and other crimes of early anime fic.

This also applies to that egregious horror "The younger said...". It's used occasionally in 1920s novels and constantly in fic, but it's HORRIBLE. "The younger man said..." is also bad, but it's less stupefyingly godawful than "the younger".

--

Now, back to your question: I see your problem. There are lots of generic writing advice articles out there, so it's hard to know which one to listen to.

You say your fic isn't "POVy", but that's nonsense.

If the fic is third person limited rather than omniscient, then the way everything is described is that character's POV. What color words are used, which clothing or architecture is even described at all, whether smells and sounds are described or only visual input: everything like that builds a sense of the character. You may not be including a lot of detail, but any detail you put in is building their POV and thus their character.

Is your character the kind of person who gives weird nicknames to people? He'll call this redhead "Eyebrows" (capitalized like a name) because he noticed she has funny eyebrows. Is your character an overly serious cop? He'll call her "the suspect" or "the witness" or something. Is your character from a hardboiled detective novel? He'll call her "the dame". Is your character barely thinking about this woman? He'll refer to her as "the woman".

Pick one simple detail that is the most important aspect of her to your POV character. That becomes her "name" for now. The POV will call her that and only that as though it is a proper noun.

So if she's "the redhead", she is not also "the red-haired woman" or "the woman". Use only this one epithet plus she/her, just like you would normally use only a name plus she/her.

The only exception would be if your character has a good reason to update what they call her, usually because they've gotten new info about her identity (her name, her job description, she's so-and-so's sister, etc.). If your character calls everyone by a long list of constantly-evolving nicknames, then that's a character point, and you can do it, but you have to do it consistently (and it's probably going to be super annoying, so I would not personally pick this as your character's defining trait).

--

Epithets suck when they are out-of-character for the POV you are trying to write. When they are in-character, they are fine.

That's the rule.

[dawnscales]

I'm gonna start this post with: None Jews please do not answer the questions I am gonna ask, nor do I want your opinion on it .

But I figured I would ask jumblr because haha I am a bit in a predicament.

I probs should start with this info: I was born and raised for the first 7-8 years of my life in Israel. I never had any doubt that I am Jewish, not there at least. I wasn't raised conservative but rather reform but you know, major holidays were celebrated, shabbat was held. I felt safe and I felt Jewish. While I did grow up speaking 3 languages, Hebrew is my mother tongue and I was able to write and read just fine ( for an 8 year old !!)

My mother moved herself & I to the DACH region of Europe. There is a tiny community in this city but nobody who spoke Hebrew. I did however fly over to Israel bcs i still got my dad and siblings there. But... my school was extremely antisemitic. So I started to feel incredible shame for being Jewish. My teachers deliberately placed Exam dates on our major Holidays if they could. My mother became an absent mother and I just. Pushed that side of myself further away. To the point that the language escaped me and Judaism did too.

It has only been over the recent years that I grew proud of my heritage again and started to wear my Magen David. But I wanna also properly get back into practicing Judaism??

So like does anyone have tips on maybe good books for studying Hebrew?? I mean it still gotta be in my head somewhere. I usually can follow ppl speaking Hebrew rather fine, I just stutter the moment I am supposed to talk.

But also all the prayer books I find here are written in Hebrew and I guess I would need them either in Latin characters or in English/German. It's so hard to get my hands on anything Jewish here ...like how do I even start celebrating Shabbat again by myself, or major Holidays.... if anyone got tips for that I'd be super grateful,,,

#jumblr #judaism #viv's rambling thoughts #i need a book that is like Jewish culture & Judaism for dummies in the Diaspora #also Hebrew for dummies tbh #i also always feel like i must apologize for my past behavior but i didnt wanna go into massive details #just....the antisemitism here is super bad. verbal and physical abuse :')

!! YURI MANGA RECC ALERT !!

Black & White: Tough Love at the Office | by: Sal Jiang

Finally got my hands on a physical copy of this one after finding it online a few months back :)) If you’re looking for a manga about two office worker women who become rivals, beat the shit out of each other, have hate sex and are forced to work together then oh boy is this for you. Enemies to lovers is shockingly rare when it comes to Yuri and it was honestly great seeing a story with two independent, competitive adult women who are just a little bit insane when they’re in the same room for too long. Toxic and unhinged in all the best ways. Biggest downside imo is that there’s only one volume out rn but volume two is getting an English publication later this year and there’s a third one either in the works or already published in Japanese.

It isn’t super violent or super explicit/graphic but keep in mind that those are two major elements of their dynamic. So if that’s not your cup of tea it would prob be best to avoid 🫡

They’re so stupid, your honour 🫶

#yuri manga #yuri #old woman yuri #theyre prob only like 30 lol #Wlw #sapphic literature #enemies to lovers #lesbians #sapphic #violent women #I yearn for wild sapphic content tbh #No normies allowed #Is it toxic? #Potentially #but in a fun way #Yuri manga recommendation #Cw violence #rivals to lovers

hcs - enha as college students

notes: this isn't even an x reader (it may be in the future 👀) lmao, this is all lighthearted and i by no means intend to insult or deface any of the enhas or see them fr fr this way

heeseung: comp sci major w/a music minor

deep down would definitely want his degrees to be the other way around

but he would probs realize cs just leads to more of a stable job (not with ai on the rise tho 😍 we love going into a doomed field of study)

(as a cs kid i’m ABSOLUTELY projecting onto my little headcanons about him)

i think..he’d be a NORMAL person that enjoys programming more than learning abt computer hardware or theory

seeing as he’s normal he’d HATEEEEE object-oriented programming (the complex part of programming OUGHGG)

he’d probably know exactly what to minor in for his dream job: music production

he’d DEFINITELYYY be in the school orchestra as a piano

he’s not mysterious enough for a bass, annoying enough for a violin or trumpet, or quirky enough for a cello

he’s an attention whore he wouldn’t even LOOK at the violas 💀

but yeah overall i think he’d know his plans for the future down to a T

probs has an internship at microsoft (derogatory)

now for the most important question

would he be a tech bro?

absolutely NOT

for those that aren’t as familiar with tech bros

just imagine a redditor alpha male with horribly gelled hair that brings the LOUDEST gaming pc to class with a horribly oiled, light-up keyboard, and makes sleazy comments about the one or two girls in every comp sci class

in other words: a woman in cs’ worst nightmare (send help i’m one of TWO girls in a class full of tech bros.)

but yeah he wouldn’t be like that at all

he’d definitely suck at rizzing up women (bro plays LoL in 2023, the year of our lord, need i elaborate?)

i can easily imagine him coming into class with gray sweatpants, a white t-shirt and flannel over, and a double-shot coffee from starbucks every day

he’d probably be the most decent-looking dude in every cs-related class i can’t even lie

for the dudes reading this: if you ever need an ego boost, do basic self-care and dress well (maybe even put on basic makeup), and join a cs class

the amount of mid ass incels with no concept of self-care will immediately make you the most attractive man in the class i kid you not

neways enough of me projecting 💀

as a music student

i could absolutely see him eat up every composition assignment (where you compose your own piece of music)

although i feel like he’d have a teacher that prefers classical music that’d be PISSED every time he submits something non-conventional

omg imagine him composing a whole dubstep instrumental for class

if the music production thing doesn’t work out he’d start a band with a bunch of losers in his dad’s garage and make horrible music that’d still get a decent amount of listens and attention bc he’s hot

it’s giving fallout boy but not emo

maybe shitty indie at best

more utc !

jay: english major w/a philosophy minor

first of all

his ass would NOT know philosophy is mostly math before signing up

i don’t think he’d be bad at math at all but he’d fs be regretting it all

but then he’d debate dropping out until whoop there’s only a semester left until it’s over. too late.

he’d dress up for every class for SUREEE

one word: beige.

he IS light academia pinterest

studyblr WISHES it was him fr

macbook user. i don’t need to explain.

he’d probably have his life together on the outside

bullet journal and aesthetic notion and all

i feel like he’d prefer discussions and deep thought (hence the philosophy) and debates over analysis

he’d LOVE discussing his thoughts abt different texts in class

he would NOT like writing out analyses abt random ass stories tho (hs english was a NIGHTMARE)

argumentative essays are his BITCH fr

i think he’d lose points for focusing more on broader concepts and going just a tad too off-topic in analytical essays, instead of focusing on details and cause-effect relationships and all that

now for the important part: his life outside of college

ik for a FACT he’d be the most likely to have a thriving social life outside of school out of all of enha

don’t @ me it’s not my fault the rest of them are MAIDENLESS – heeseung plays LEAGUE for crying out loud !!

probably goes out to the mall or new attractions like museums every weekend

even tho he minors in arguably one of the hardest fields of study ??

bro would finish up calc III homework in less than an hour 🤯

i bet he’d be there on a scholarship too 😒lucky ass

jake: international relations (global politics) major, no minor

note: ik the average writer would probs make him a physics major but that’s BOOOORING and overdone, plus i just don’t see it 🤷

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NOTE !!! IR ≠ political science !!! IR focuses on politics around the world, pol sci is more of how internal governments work

(i’m also heavily projecting here bc i’m a politics student send your prayers please and thank you)

i pity IR majors

this boy is TIRED 25/8

tbh the thing with IR isn’t that the content’s hard

a (paraphrased) quote from my IR teacher: “political scientists are lazy, all they do is come up with generic concepts and slap an ‘-ism’ at the end”

it’s moreso the reading and writing.

god the reading.

politics textbooks are so big and expensive it hurts my wallet just to look at the library-issued textbook i have

he’d be running on caffeine and a prayer, no sleep we die like men

not that he’d be a bad student !!

i could definitely see him being that one student that asks the teacher the silent questions no one asks bc they think it’ll make them look stupid (ie. asking them to repeat what they just said or explain a not-so-complex theory)

would definitely word vomit about politics, current and past, to the rest of the enhas (but just to make sure he remembers it all, you gotta respect the grind man)

none of them would understand a thing

jake: “yeah so it’s stupid how there are a whole bunch of states fighting over the south china sea when it’s technically international waters [please don’t quote me on this it’s like 2 am and i’m pulling stuff out of my ass] and therefore has no legal ‘owner’ haha isn’t that stupid?”

the rest of enha, maybe except for jay: 👁️👄👁️

jay: “ermmm akshully 🤓👆it’s in the name, china has legal rights over the south CHINA sea bc it borders it”

i can picture it vividly

imma be honest this man would be a MESS

he’d probably make (futile) attempts to get his shit together like a notion pro subscription, trying to sleep on time, a gym membership, you name it

sadly that’s just the life of a politics student

it’s so hectic it’d be hard to keep up with, but it’s jake, he’d somehow stay afloat

he’d probably come to his minimum wage job after class half-dead but his manager and coworkers would take pity on him and let him sleep in the janitor’s closet

would probably be clinging to the whole “just get through tomorrow and it’ll get better” mentality

it does not. sigh

sunghoon: undeclared until sophomnore (second) year, kinesiology (bio?) major

man honestly

this mf would be irrelevant

probs has a generic major and says absolutely nothing in class

if you blink he’d probs disappear

i feel like he’d initially wanna go for med but then he’d hear about the whole you’re-gonna-sacrifice-the-best-years-of-your-life-for-this-field-of-study thing and said NOPE lmao

which is reasonable

with the amount of ppl doing med in the world he wouldn’t think it’d make a difference if he decided to switch

i feel like he’d just be there for the ride 💀smth abt wanting to “experience all life has to offer” (not in a rich, just here for the business degree way, but more of an “i don’t need a degree to get a job but it might make it easier” way)

so yeah he decides to major in kinesiology, the study of movement according to google

disclaimer i’m not a bio person at ALL so any misinformation is completely unintentional and i will NOT be held at gunpoint to do research about a college major for HEADCANONS at ass o’clock in the morning

neways

he has a decently light workload and therefore a healthy amount of free time

on the occasional he does get a painful assignment he’d procrastinate until he’d staying up and cussing out his past self for not doing it earlier

tbh i don’t think he’d be a horrible OR amazing student

he’s truly MID mid

maybe an average of like … 75% which really isn’t bad tbh the american education system has conditioned us into thinking it is but let’s be fr other than philly cheese steaks what exactly have we ever gotten right.

….neways again

he’d be something like a jack of all trades, master of none

overall a chill guy 9/10 would be fun to hang out with

now for the best part

frat boy sunghoon

idk anything abt frat or sorority life – i’m asian the only thing close to a sorority i’d be in would be like … the school orchestra or book club 💀my parents would kill me – so don’t take everything i say for gospel

you bet your ass he’d be at every party

100% for the booze and vibes he wouldn’t even be there to flirt or rizz ppl up (he’s a self-aware man he knows he has negative rizz but that’s what makes him so ALLURING)

wouldn’t get high or anything tho he’s not all abt that life (that life being running away from the popo)

i’d trust him to walk me home tbh

he wouldn’t hurt a fly the most he’d do is like … attempt to verbally abuse jay

sunoo: art major, english lit. minor

you saw it coming don’t lie

NEWAYS

he’d be amazing at art honestly

making a portfolio would be his Thing yk

yk those big artists that are all about “working on the impulse” and not doing anything until they do ridiculous shit to get over art block

that’s him

but he slays every time he gets over it

god i feel like he’d be the perfect college friend after jay

he definitely has his shit together

i’m talking he does his assignments on time, probably has a half-paid merit scholarship, works a decent job at a taco bell just off of campus, and somehow has a will to live and time to go to the mall every weekend

the thing is, he’s not the most perfect college friend bc he’s slightly more fun-focused and free-spirited than jay, who’s a perfect mix of both

neways no more talking abt other enhas it’s sunoo’s time to shine 😠

i bet his dorm would be the most organized and decorated too oughhgh

he’d be the lucky mf that gets the biggest dorm on the first floor (with like two other roommates but they respect his privacy and all that)

he’d probably be able to get away with dorm policy violations (ie. cooking with an iron or something Not meant for cooking in his dorm instead of the nasty ass moldy ass communal kitchen) by batting his eyelashes and sweet-talking to the woman that oversees the dorms or smth (i’m blanking and i completely forgot what it’s called)

overall the luckiest bitch ever

we should all aspire to be sunoo tbh

if you’re a man and you’re not sunoo … thin fucking ice. do better. /hj

jungwon: biochem major, going for med (specifically oncology, the study of cancer?)

sorry in advance to any ppl in medical 🫶i’m gonna get every part of this wrong lmao

he’s one of Those Guys that’s known exactly what they’re doing since like … middle school

important question: would it be bc he gave into the classic asian parent pressure into becoming a doctor?

they might've played a tiny role in it but i think he'd genuinely wanna go into medical bc he's insane

definitely gets the best scores out of everyone in his class (idk if they use bell curves in med but if not he’d get solid 90s on everything)

i could see him with his life together tbh

homework always done a week before, healthy lunches he makes himself, clear skin, all that jazz

definitely has a merit-based scholarship

probably got a 1560 on the SAT too 😒 lucky ass bitch

i hate to say it

i really do

but he'd be the mf that reminds the teacher abt homework

“ermmmm mr. kim you said we had a pop quiz at the end of class” followed by him being beaten to a pulp

(w reaction/lh)

really cares about getting into a good med school

would DEFINITELY have like two internships every summer

so to recap: basically every asian med student ever (i’m friends with far too many rip med kids)

at least they won't be replaced with ai …

heeseung crying in the distance

NEWAYS

for a med student i feel like he’d be busy 24/7 but he wouldn’t Look like it?

like if you’ve seen a med student, even in hs, they look like they lost a fight to a rabid raccoon

but for some reason jungwon has his shit together like the neurotypical know-it-all he is 😒/lh please don’t kill me

seeing as he’s known what he wants to do since like … middle school in this au, i think he’d fs be on top of all the content he’s learned, if not ahead of everyone else

i’d trust him to be my doctor 🫡

actually no i wouldn’t

riki: theater major w/a visual art minor (get it bc he’s a minor) (i’m hilarious LAUGH)

he’s a quiet little guy, definitely sits in the back of the lecture hall

would milk the SHIT out of being a minority for scholarships and applications

i'm talking his common app essay abt being socially isolated and politically aware, i'm talking abt using any and all minority scholarships possible – in the eyes of the law (and the college board), riki is now half hispanic

i’d say his grades would be pretty decent, not much in the A+ zone (96-100) but at the very least, B+’s

really not that bad tbh

he’d SO be a theater kid in hs

tell me he wouldn't be those mfs that have the whole hamilton soundtrack memorized and break out into random song and dance at inappropriate times

i bet he’d ship hamilton and laurens 💀

neways

i feel like he'd like art as a class but suck at meeting deadlines and portfolio assignments n stuff

which is valid tbh i don’t think any kind of teacher of the arts (not just visual) should be too strict abt that

classes with him and sunoo would make him INSUFFERABLE omg

if you put them next to e/o they won't shut up

which is cute don't get me wrong

but makes trying to work IMPOSSIBLE

but when they're separated he’d be dead silent

you wouldn't even notice he's there tbh

overall a dedicated student with the occasional tendency to be silly and goofy

i feel like his resume would be pretty to make up for the lack of content actually on it

i'm talking canva pro graphics, fancy fonts, graphic design is his passion (not literally)

logically the best career path for him based on his degrees would be a set designer …

but obv he’s either an actor or the manager

probably an actor being a stage manager SUCKS

(don’t get me wrong it’s fun i’ve done it before but oh my GOD. if you ever wanna lose hair really fast become a backstage manager it’ll work 100%)

bonus: best-dressed in class

sunoo - you’ll never catch him slipping tbh 🤷 he’d have the most free time out of the others and would probably spend his time going out and putting together silly little outfits and being cute and adorable bc it’s kim sunoo That’s Just How He Is

jay - light academia light academia light academia light academia light academia

sunghoon (unintentionally) - his sense of style in college would be mid, truly meh, nothing special to look at but his looks make up for the boring attire (hubba hubba 😍) – the type to wear a white t-shirt, timbs, and jeans to class every day (get it 2017 jungkook 😍), maybe even a jacket. his sense of style would be as spicy as salt so not spicy at all, it’s giving unseasoned, boiled chicken

riki - he just Doesn’t Care but thankfully all the items in his closet would be usable (thanks to sunoo, that man would NOT let riki leave the house without running his outfits by him. his logic is that no best friend of his should look like a dumpsterfire !!)

jungwon - similar to jake, no time !! matching sweatshirts and sweatpants ftw

jake - politics majors have no sanity or connection to the real world bc it drives you INSANE after a month, cut him some slack :(

heeseung - the venn diagram of ppl with no sense of fashion and cs majors is a circle.
