#name was bio mom being angry and petty at bio dad and making up something bc she wasnt allowed to leave hospital until i was named

[skleton]

𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙎𝙆𝙀𝙇𝙀𝙏𝙊𝙉 𝙄𝙉 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘾𝙇𝙊𝙎𝙀𝙏 — y’all… this shit is a mess, but we’re doin it. i’m emily, i’m 21, from the est timezone, and i use she / her pronouns. this dumpster fire is darcy, aka the skelly in the closet, and i would like to formally apologize for her in advance. enjoy !

her bio is on the last tab of her theme if anyone would like to read... yes the subtitles ARE in code, and there’s a few easter eggs regarding the subtitles too. if anyone figures them out u will have my eternal admiration and love.

name: darcy kovac.

age: twenty-one.

gender: cisfemale.

pronouns: she/her/hers.

major & year: mathematics, fourth year.

faceclaim: sophie turner.

occupation: barista at bean me up.

BACKGROUND ! tw for death, stalking, and mentions of violence & drug addiction.

darcy is That Girl. she’s a meanie ( sorry 😩 ), very unconcerned by the feelings of others, and like ms joan jett, she does Not care about her bad reputation

SO to start us off

born n bred in new york new york baby, and you better believe she’s kept that new york attitude ever since

all was hunky dory for the first parts of her childhood, filled with dollar slices and nosebleed seats in yankee stadium

but one day, baby darcy stumbled upon the fact that her dad was addicted to opioids, confessed her concerns a week later to her guidance counselor, and promptly found herself yeeted to hemlock when she told her mom what she’d done

she was big upset about this change ofc, and received approx 0 explanation beyond a big ol lie about the suburbs being ‘safer’. darcy vc ok mom we could’ve just gone to jersey but go off abt fucking illinois ig

cue darcy being a BRAT

angry about the secrets and the move, feeling unduly punished only for her concern for her father, she started lashing out, doing a complete 180 from a relatively good, quiet kid to an angry, rebellious one

her relationship w her parents deteriorates p awfully over the next few years, and it’s just... sad. she was always particularly close w her mom as a kid, and her mom tells her you’re breaking my heart and it’s SAD

at 16, she starts receiving anonymous letters, and it becomes clear pretty quickly that she’s got a stalker, and we hate to see it

this continues on for months with little assistance from the police, and when she starts receiving photos of herself in her own room, she takes matters into her own hands

yes, this means darcy waits outside her house with a baseball bat every night for weeks on end. yes, this also means she beats the shit out of her stalker, so... props to u darcy

needless 2 say, mr stalker does not come around anymore

at some point in high school, darcy had a big argument with her mom, saying some awful things to her. these, of course, were the last things she said to her before her mom was killed in a car accident, and the guilt has practically eaten her alive ever since

from then on, it’s been much of the same. she was a Bad Girl in high school, and she’s still a Bad Girl today

as for melanie, darcy was NOT a fan. big time not a fan. she met her once her dad started dating melanie’s mom, and it was all downhill from there. in darcy’s eyes, she feels like her dad has moved on and replaced her and her mom with melanie and her family, so it’s just... not a fun time all around.  

one of the few good things in her life is a local girls’ baseball team, the bears ! darcy fondly calls em the bad news bears, and she’d fully die for them. ppl hate playing her team bc she’s easily the meanest coach in the league, but the girls adore her and she always takes them out for pizza after. that’s all thank u for coming to my ted talk

PERSONALITY / HEADCANONS !

SO. after all of the above, we have a bitter and angry girl, full of simmering resentment that’s turned into the worst kind of toxic cocktail

like i said, darcy is Mean. she’s sarcastic, foul-mouthed, does not care about consequences in the slightest. she’ll burn bridges at the drop of a hat

the only time she’s ever even REMOTELY soft is with her bears so. gluck w that

something she does a lot is calculating the odds of things like... just for the hell of it. girl is constantly doing equations in her head, half bc she’s a freak who thinks it’s fun and half out of pure habit at this point

the BIGGEST hoe for the yankees. the only reasons she goes home are for weekly dinners / opportunities to raid her dad’s drawers, and yankees games. it’s p much the only way she and her dad can sit down for a couple hours without darcy blowing up

she’s the worst barista at bean me up. she’ll make your drink wrong on purpose and then glare at u until you take it anyway. i’m so sorry

WANTED CONNECTIONS !

friends !! i mean... darcy is Awful but if anyone wants to put up w her we will accept SDGJLSDG

someone she’s actually genuinely soft for bc goddamn bitch calm down

on the opposite end of the spectrum, BAD friends. darcy is mean and petty and i’d love someone for her to pal around with who’s just as mean as she can be

hookups !!! anyone and everyone. she ain’t picky and she’s always horny.

she’s a Lot so someone who isn’t a fan is absolutely likely. gimme someone she rubs the wrong way, and it’s bad

make this bitch fall in love i swear to god. do it.

trigger warning for     drug abuse    ,    parental abuse   ,   possession    ,    internalized homophobia    ,    overdose   ,   &.   mentions of needles   &.   vomit

bio.

MARCH 18TH   ,    1999    :    jun   -    seo    “    clay   “   park was born to min-ji   &.    u-jin park in their high rise penthouse apartment at 3:28am. for mintues   ,    the newborn child was wide eyed   &.   quiet          staring at things that did not appear to be real. the midwife was ushered out of the room as the babies cries fill the room. his birth is publicized   &.   photos of his newborn form are splattered across gossip magazines. 

AGE 3     :      whispers in the night fill the baby moniter   ,    cooing from a child to the corners in the room. stacking blocks with friends that friends   ,   staff   ,   nor his family see. there are stares    &.    points from guests at events. 

AGE 5     :       when kids are getting ready for school or to go play soccer in the afternoon     ,    jun    -   seo is in front of the camera. headlining in any psychic show that will take him. the whispers are louder. he doesnt know how to keep them out. he forgets most of the year   ,   only to be awoken by burning water on his skin.

AGE 16   :    1,750 a week on needles    ,    he barely shows up to class anymore. hes sure the only reason why he is passing is cause his parents are doing something. they dont care as long as his face is on the morning copy of a gossip magazine   &.    he smiles for the cameras. he looks hollow in the mirror   ,    but the ghosts dont talk anymore. he has a girlfriend. he loves her. he thinks. he tells himself that in the mirror before going out to see her.  in November he will drunkenly try on her skirt    ,    something feels right. 

AGE 20    :    his brother comes home   &.   things get hard. his brother worries when he doesn’t go to school. clay knows that he’s fine. mom    &.    dad will make sure that everything goes fine.  on the cold tile with the rubber around his arm   ,   it goes wrong. he goes too deep into the silent   &.   is thrown against heavens door with vomit on his lips   &.   it hurts. he is cold   &.   it hurts. the voices are loud. they are so loud.

AGE 21    :    thrown against heaven’s door with the force of the overdose   ,   clay is ushered out of the public light. he drops out of uni   &.   all shows are canceled. the youtube channel he had started to explore the voices in the corners of the room  &.  vlogging his experiences trying to go to a grocery store for the first time is the only connection to his fame that is left untouched. he’s supposed to be healing    ,    going away from all ties to find herself   &.   get a better grip on the world. its all for PR   ,    knowing that her parents are waiting for the next issue of the gossip mag catching him buying on the street corner. the warm air that flutters through the open hotel window is ripe with choice   :   can he finally get clean ?

bio.

alright so he was born to Park U-jin and Min-ji in their apartment in seoul korea

no one really calls him jun-seo asides from his family

he has an older sister named Park Ha-yun

his parents marriage was one of status, nothing more. his father was the heir to the family line and his mother was the daughter of another prominent magic line

the relationship between his mother and his father was cold, seeing that it was a beard relationship his mother would have her girlfriends while his father would sleep with the staff everything was a pretense

despite being the younger child, clay’s father picked him to be the heir of the family line cause you know sexism

from early childhood, clay was in an out of tutoring sessions sent to the best schools in the world, everything was planned out to a T he was going to take over the line

highschool hit and things got more rocky between his parents. his sister was off to college and for the first time of his life—-clay was alone in the large house

this is when clay began to drift off the pages of tutoring books and into the realms of his own magic 

contacting the dead is a way to fill up the empty halls of the large apartment and summer houses 

she found a real gift in this magic, mediumship was rewarding it made her heart swell with pride as she was able to reach into the past 

clay has an issue hes too open to be a medium he sees his body as an opening for the spirits this leads to frequent and awful possessions 

POSSESSIONS EXPLAINED HERE

with the risk of the familys line, his parents have tucked clay away from the public eye keeping a close eye on him

striving for a freedom that he once had, he started his youtuber channel aka his ghost hunting channel 

hes found often at night in abandoned and haunted locations around korea 

types of trances 

trance: they allow their body to become a vessel for the spirit. when in a deep trance, and some may even come out of it without any memory of what happened.

channeling: enter a very light form of a trance called channeling to contact the deceased . They are fully aware of what’s going on as they receive and deliver the message.

jimin [bts] as a father

requested-ish

word count: 790

genre: fluffy, domestic!jimin

author’s note: i had to! me and anon were generating ideas and i really wanted to write one of these because my heart was exploding so here we are!!

please do not copy my work. but please like and reblog it. thank you!!!!

masterlist (in bio)

an anon and i really needed this so here we go!

park jimin as a dad would end the world

imagine all these scenarios as realistically as you can because they are absolutely adorable

imagine park jimin’s baby son being a look-a-like. same mochi cheeks, eye smile, big grin, adorable laugh, same scary face when angry or annoyed (of course he’d have some of his mom features too)

jimin would absolutely adore his son

he would love to hug him and squish his cheeks, all while laughing along with him (imagine the cutest baby laugh in the entire world)

they’re both babies

jimin would be like every dad of course, but because he’s park jimin, so he’d be better

imagine putting on his son’s shoes when he’s about to take him to the park

“[son’s name]! come back here.”

“no!!” the son whined

jimin would hold his baby on his lap, trying his best to put the shoes on his feet. it wasn’t easy, but he did it

he would carry his son on top of his shoulders as they walked to the park. and jimin almost didn’t want to let his son go play on the playground, he was enjoying it. but he let him play

after the park, jimin would take him home for lunch. he would be feeding him, coaxing him to take bites.

he would be spoon feeding him. but it was a mess...

his baby would accidentally get food in the corner of his mouth, how cute!!

jimin would notice and grin (taking a picture) before reaching for a napkin, cupping his son’s jaw, and gently wiping the food away

his son would laugh

later that day, when it was nighttime, it would be bath time for his son

jimin would start the bath, making sure the water wasn’t scorching or freezing

his son loved bath time because jimin would play with him. he would add bubbles and toys and play together

until they got scolded by their mother for making a mess in the bathroom

then jimin would dry and dress his son, before placing him on his lap in the bathroom

his son would be sleepy at this point, and it would make jimin’s heart swell with love

he would attempt to brush his son’s teeth as best as he could. he would things in a higher pitched voice like, “[son’s nickname], open wide….” he probably would have to hold his son’s head up if he begins to fall asleep

and later that night, you would here the sweet, honey-like, calm voice of your husband singing your baby boy to sleep

the next day, jimin would want to take his son to visit his six uncles. he was still due to practice but he was still taking his son with him

he would pick matching outfits, something he’s very well invested in

you’d bid them goodbye

and at practice, the boys would turn to see park jimin with his little mini-me, waltzing into the room

they would all be excited, laughing with jimin

his son would have a great bond with the members

jimin would definitely brag about having a son if the other members didn’t. but if the others did, then he’d be petty and claim that his baby was better than all theirs (jokingly of course)

you would have to pick your son up tho so that jimin could practice. your son would be sad but jimin promised him ice cream later so he was happy again

later, at home, i imagine jimin dancing around the living room and kitchen with his son, bts music playing softly in the background

if it was just one day or spring day, jimin would sing along to his son

if it was a fun song to dance to like idol, he would set his son down and his son’s eyes would be glued to the television, watching the pretty colors. his son would even try to dance along

you’d record it all because it was too precious

jimin would be the type of dad to bring his son to concerts and letting him see all the staff and members backstage

imagine his son with the cute earplugs or giant noise canceling headphones (because concerts or loud) and he’s just absolutely clueless

he would watch his dad dance with a wide smile, and you would be watching your husband with his baby in your arms, bouncing him to the beat of the music

or you would be holding his hand, if he was older

so in conclusion, my heart was about to burst while typing this. i was imagining cute scenarios that an anon and i made

i miss that anon…

anyways, jimin is daddy material...

highschool hit and things got more rocky between his parents. his sister was off to college and for the first time of his life—-clay was alone in the large house

he met a “friend” in the boarding school. this friend took more advantage of how his pockets never seemed to be empty

within a 6 month spiral clay had gone from the goody two shoe boy to being plastered on the weekend

if there was a party, he would be there 

his grades were falling and his parents were getting more and more worried

since his grades were failing, he was sent to boarding school to take back control of his drug usage and drinking habits 

the outbreak was easy at first, armed guards and a safe house that was tucked away in the middle of nowhere till one of the staff got bit and tried to hide it from the family 

forced to flee with parents tearing at each other, shaking hands and blood of former family on his hands clay takes to the road 

he passes through state lines, sticking close to the road and learning from groups that he joined for weeks at a time 

the car finally broke down in toledo bend reservior dam so this is where he stays

A Christmas Love Story

Original Air Date: December 7, 2019 (Hallmark) Where to Watch?: Hallmark will replay it multiple times this season, and for every season in perpetuity.

Will say, right off the top, that I’m a little uncertain how to review this one, because, for most of the movie, I enjoyed watching Kristin Chenoweth, whom I adore, play a retired Broadway star turned children’s choir director, and flirt with a rather listless, but still dimply, Scott Wolf. Chenoweth has sharp comedic energy, a penchant for breaking out in song and this movie, though oddly shot in small town North Carolina, is based in New York City and features a (quelle scandale!) divorcee as the lead—both Hallmark rarities.

When she’s writing the original song that should have already been done, and shares a line with her pianist, he’s like, ‘Great, is there more?’ And Chenoweth, with perfect comedic timing, goes from gleeful to deadpan and just says, ’No.’ …That was a genuinely funny moment that made my whole family laugh out loud. Not something that happens all that often in a made-for-TV Christmas movie.

It also had actress/producer Jennifer Aspen doing double duty and playing Chenoweth’s on-screen cousin, a fun insider nod to the fact that Aspen’s first big role was on Wolf’s Party of Five, and she also starred with Chenoweth in the short-lived, but much-loved, CGB. Easter egg TV series reunion!

They also threw in family pictures of what I’m 99% certain is Wolf’s real-life wife, Real World alum Kelley Limp, to sub for his on-screen deceased wife. Because there had to be at least one dead spouse in this. After all, it is a Hallmark movie.

And, in what I’m sure is a total coincidence, but still cracked me up, Chenoweth’s character receives an alert on her phone of a winter storm that says “stay inside,” so she’s “forced” to stay overnight with Wolf and his son and help decorate the tree. They didn’t say it was Winter Storm Meghan, but Dead Wife’s name was Megan/Meghan, and since this one was shot before any of the Lifetime ones, I’m fan waving this as the beginning of the whole mess; A cross-brand winter storm disaster! (Later, Wolf’s son just goes to a friend's house and they’re like, ‘See ya,’ having forgotten all about this super dangerous storm, apparently.)

After being disappointed by many of the Hallmark Hall of Fame offerings in recent years, this one was looking pretty good, despite some quibbles like, Why did director Eric Close cast himself as someone who wears unflattering three-piece suits and says lines like (and I am not making this up), “You were always jamming out to Megan’s records,” as if he’s 100? (Close is only one year older than Wolf in real life, FYI.)

Also, like, what’s up with Wolf’s huge, gorgeous house? It’s clearly quite large, yet there’s no place to put the Christmas tree except for smack dab in front of the TV, which they’ve just thrown a red cloth over? This is the weirdest/cheapest/laziest set design choice ever and it bugged me to no end. Oh, and, this dad’s love of giant, creepy nutcrackers as home decor seems like a dealbreaker to me.

Why does Chenoweth sing the original song at the end? I mean, duh, I know why Hallmark Channel has Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth singing in their movie. It just doesn’t make sense to the plot that the children’s Christmas choir aren’t the ones performing this very important original song they’ve said several times is what provides their group’s funding. Plus, that kid is a fine singer, but can’t even come close to keeping up with Chenoweth—though, to be fair, what non-pro could?

Know that it’s search optimization that caused Hallmark to select the utterly generic A Christmas Love Story title, but this was filmed as When Angels Land, and it really shows, as so much of the signage, and even the name of the original song, are that.

And, then, there’s the less petty nitpicks, like how one of the extra-long, Hall of Fame story ads from Hallmark cards, talks about how you can “change a heart” by “sharing love," specifically depicting a gay couple’s wedding (still from ad below), yet Hallmark Channel won’t make a queer Christmas romance. Which is it Hallmark, do you #CareEnough to “change the world,” as the ad advises, or not?

There was even a moment where the son is struggling to tell his dad something and, if this were not a Hallmark movie, I’d have put money on this boy with the Broadway dreams trying to come out to his father. But, nope.

Where the movie took a turn for me was when Chenoweth reveals to Wolf that she gave a baby up for adoption when she was young. I knew right away—Wolf had earlier called his son a “gift,” without using the word adoption—that it would turn out the too-tall choir kid Chenoweth had been mentoring was actually her biological son. That’s a slightly predictable, but fine, twist, especially as Chenoweth is an adoptee herself, who has found her birth mother…But, what killed the whole movie for me, and actually made me angry, is that in that moment, after Chenoweth’s incredibly personal reveal, Wolf, in his big speech, never says to her, ‘And I know this, because my son is adopted.’

Now, I’m not saying he had to put two and two together right then (because, in reality, what are the odds?), but to not share that VERY relevant fact with someone who had just bared their soul? C’mon, movie! As an adoptee myself I felt angry, especially as the son later says of his adoption, ‘It was never a secret.’ Because, you know, sure seemed that way on the street. 

That the movie manipulates the moment to protect a “twist” that’s already easy to see coming, angered me as a viewer, as well as an adoptee. 

The rest of the movie I was just annoyed about why Chenoweth wasn’t angry that her new love interest hadn’t revealed to her he was an adopted parent, at the same time she told him she had given a child up for adoption. Not, cool. Not, respectful. Not, honest. 

It retroactively makes their entire relationship creepy. The son kept setting them up for romance, all the time knowing that Chenoweth was his bio mom. Those moments now read like a gross replacement program of his mom who passed away…Or at least it did to this adoptee who also lost my real mom young, and found my bio mom much later in life.

Obviously, this one cuts a little close to home for me, so well aware I’m far from objective, but even trying to see this in the best possible, most sentimental, and Chenoweth fan light, can’t get past that huge, utterly unnecessary plot stumble.

Also, Hallmark, stop trying to work twists into your Hall of Fame movies. They’re always groan-worthy.

Final Judgement: 2 Paws Up

[spikycharlotte]

:0 all of them

y’all better strap in

four jews in a room bitching / what’s your favorite stereotype for your religion?

haha i don’t really identify with one in particular? so i’m not sure.

a tight-knit family / who do you consider family?

i for sure believe “blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.” while i do have family members whom i do love and am proud to call family, i don’t think the question is calling for that.

my best friends are like family to me, and i’d do anything for them. i also have a mentor/teacher, and he and his wife are like second parents to me.

love is blind / what makes a healthy relationship?

C O M M U N I C A T I O N ! ! ! you should NEVER be lying to your s/o!! and if your s/o does something you’re not comfortable with/makes you upset, TELL THEM! you shouldn’t be stewing, but also don’t enter the conversation angry and accusatory. and on the flip side, if your s/o comes to you with something you did, LISTEN TO THEM. apologize and explain yourself, even if it was just a misunderstanding! avoid becoming defensive. 

the thrill of first love / what’s something you’d kill for?

answered here!

marvin at the psychiatrist / do you ever feel like no one is listening to you when you talk?

i used to feel this way all the time, but i’ve recently become comfortable with saying, “excuse me, i was speaking” when i’m spoken over. also i find myself in lots of leadership positions in my day-to-day, so i’m pretty good at making myself heard.

my father’s a homo / could you/would you want to be president?

the idea (a loud, genderqueer, butch lesbian with the conscience to do the best for others) sounds great, but i’m not the person that fits that description to be president. i’m infj, so i’ve got the teacher personality, and that’s what i want to do!

everyone tells jason to see a psychiatrist / do people nag you consistently about something? if so, what?

this is such a #relatableteen answer but my room is a goddamn mess and my mom nags me on the daily to clean it (something i never do)

this had better come to a stop / what’s something people do that infuriates you?

i talked about this a little bit, but when people come to me with relationship issues and the issue could resolved so easily if instead of coming to me and telling me, they just went to their s/o. a problem cannot be resolved through outside sources.

i’m breaking down / what makes you crazy/pushes you over the edge?

answered here!

please come to our house / what was the last thing you did to help someone?

ummm to fit with the “therapy” theme of this the other night i helped a friend when she needed to vent about some crappy home things. 

jason’s therapy / what’s the worst advice you’ve ever been given?

i resent this question being with this song!!! i think mendel’s “feel alright” advice (while flawed) at its core is actually kind of pure and good! of course the way he gives it is bad (ignore your problems!)

but worst advice i’ve ever been given was i asked a friend towards the beginning of my last relationship if i should continue it and she said i should, and it ended much later and i was very unhappy throughout most of it. so that was pretty shitty. (i now have a very wonderful girlfriend who is currently having me answer all of these questions :-))

a marriage proposal / how would you want to be proposed to?

actually something very similar to how mendel does it! something private and lowkey, and just having someone word vomit their love for me sounds very cute and endearing.

however i always thought of myself as the one who would propose, so there’s that

a tight-knit family (reprise) / are you satisfied with what you have in life, or do you want more?

well as a student in high school it’s kind of hard to be satisfied, because there’s so much i want to do but i can’t as my student-ness prevents me from doing so.

but considering my place in life, i think i am quite happy!! i have a great gf, great friends, and i’m kind of excited for this school year!

trina’s song / what’s the worst interaction you’ve had with the opposite gender?

every interaction i’ve ever had with a male human being ever in my life. i could go on and on. but one that comes to mind is how one time a dude went on this huge rant during a teacher’s lecture about freud’s psychosexual theories about how homosexuality is an unnatural choice, all while continuing to glance at me to make sure he got his desired reaction

march of the falsettos / who’s the most immature person you know, and why?

um i know plenty, but the worst are some of my younger very intelligent female friends who are more focused on their boyfriends than their academics, which while i love and support them infuriate me to no end.

trina’s song (reprise) / have you ever settled for something better than you’d expected, but not as good as you’d hoped?

while this worked out for trina, as she soon would realize that mendel would be as good as she hoped, settling for less than you hope is never a good thing. 

i’ve always thought this, so i can’t really think of any examples

the chess game / what’s the most petty thing you’ve ever done?

perfect question for this song, op. 

i’ve done a lot of petty things in my life, bc i think everyone does. very recently though a girl was annoying the hell out of me trying to get me to tell her the answers for our summer hw and i gave her the entirely wrong answers.

making a home / how different are you in public than in private?

my personality is very much the same, but i’m obviously more in public. i don’t swear as much. and in private i talk to myself and sing loudly all the time which doesn’t make much sense to do in public

the games i play / do you ever wish you were doing more than you currently are?

constantly. i’m in high school so my options are grossly limited. i’m super excited to go to college and begin my teaching career. i just really want to help people!!

marvin hits trina / have you ever hated someone for being happy?

before i was in a better place like i am now, i really resented my best friend for getting a boyfriend for a while. but now i’m fine and very happy for the both of them.

i never wanted to love you / have you ever liked something you knew was bad? have you stopped?

um in middle school i liked sup/erwhol/ock despite the problematicness of them all (the other two more so than d/octor w/ho), if that’s what this means.

father to son / what is your relationship with your parents?

i love my mom a lot, she’s great. she had me in high school, and my bio dad split when he found out i existed, so i’ve never met him, but i also have no interest in doing so. i love my (step) dad a lot, but our relationship is kind of strained bc i don’t think he fully understands my being gay (even though he’s not rude or anything about it)

falsettoland/about time / do you use labels?

i actually quite like labels ? i like legitimizing my identity by finding out that other people feel the same way, and therefore have worked to put a name to it.

that’s also why i kind of like the femme/butch scale even though it was initially a joke, bc it acknowledges that not every lesbian is lipstick OR stone butch, and idk i kinda like it. but i do hate when nonlesbians ,,,,,, use it ,,,,,,, to describe lesbians,,,,, bc,,, it’s not for them…..

year of the child / when was the last time everything was about you?

idk prob my birthday parties… i don’t like being the perfect center of attention, i feel uncomfortable

miracle of judaism / what’s the last significant decision you had to make?

oh geez idk. i don’t make a lot of those… i can’t think of one right now.

the baseball game / do you play/like sports? which ones?

i do not like them really… i like badminton tho… that’s more of an activity and not a sport though

a day in falsettoland / what’s your daily routine like? 

during the summer, i wake up and fart around on the internet, unless i have somewhere to be. all the while texting maggie all day

everyone hates his parents / what was the last thing your parents did that pissed you off?

my mom is a really bad backseat driver. like swearing and anger is her brand of backseat driving. so it makes me super anxious and angry hearing someone constantly bitch while i’m trying to drive

what more can i say? / are you in love? have you ever been in love? what is it like? 

answered here! 

something bad is happening / do you get frustrated when you don’t know something?

yes i do. its a problem, especially as i’m on academic team

more racquetball / are you a sore loser/winner?

yes yes yes. mariokart comes to mind in particular. if i lose it was lagging or too many items were unfairly sent my way, or if i win everyone else sucks and i’m the best

holding to the ground / how do you react when things don’t go as planned?

i’m not the best. i’m a huge control freak, so when things don’t work out perfectly i freak out

days like this / are you an optimist, a pessimist, or a realist?

i think i’m like an.. optimistic realist? like i’m a realist, but with that i’m more likely to say “the worst case scenario is this, so at least that’s not happening”

canceling the bar mitzvah / how do you react under pressure?

i get stressed, but i also get my work done, so good and bad

unlikely lovers / do you have any friends who are extremely different from you?

yeah, a lot actually! i have one friend who listens to hard core rock stuff and has a bunch of piercings and has never listened to a musical in her life and i also have friends super into gymnastics and cheerleading and stuff. i love my friends!!

another miracle of judaism / if you could have anything right now, what would it be?

maggie, next to me

something bad is happening (reprise) / have you ever had to deliver some really bad news? how did it go? 

i had to explain to someone the oak/great comet drama, which was not fun. but i don’t think i’ve ever had to break super terrible bad news, especially not like what charlotte had to tell her best friend

you gotta die sometime / are you afraid of dying/death?

i don’t know…? the idea of nothingness is for sure daunting

jason’s bar mitzvah / what was the last big event you attended?

the other day i went to the first practice of the year for academic team! theres a lot of us and we had pizza and played and whatnot

falsettoland (reprise) / what do you want your legacy to be?

i just want people to remember me as someone who did their best to help others
