DPxDC fic idea: The Infinite Realms Hobby Store
Danny Fenton drops out of school on his sister's recommendation to aim for a GED. Then two weeks after he does receive his high school equivalence document, Danny and his sister Jasmine pack up and move to Gotham, where they promptly open their own business. A small hobby store that's during rather well for itself, especially with offered classes to learn said hobbies.
The instructors of the classes are all a rather colorful bunch that don't seem from Gotham but aren't bad like outsiders usually are.
The siblings continue their education through online courses and attend Gotham University. Jasmine studying psychology and Danny studying engineering.
They don't seem like up-and-coming villains who may be behind the strange changes in the city. Nothing terrible has happened so far but that's just it. Nothing has happened, and if that doesn't make every citizen's skin crawl, nothing else will.
It's like the core of Gotham is breaking away, and no one knows what it is or if it's a good thing.
Tim Drake, disguised as Alvin Draper, signed up for the offered Photography class to prove they were and stop them before it's too late.
Danny and Jazz are aware there is something strange about Alvin Draper.
Still, they have thier hands tied, prepping Danny to take the Ghost Throne, keeping up with college, trying to fix a crumbled relationship with their parents after the Big Reveal, and keeping all of Danny's ex-Rouges satisfying their obsessions by having them express it through a hobby.
Ember teaches guitar on Mondays.
Technus does coding an hour before her.
Lunch lady has a cooking lesson on Tuesday.
Poindexter does miniature models on Wednesdays.
Kitty got Photography and modeling on Thursdays.
Johnny, who is never too far away from her, runs his crocheting class at the same time.
And Ghost Writer does creative writing on Fridays.
Saturdays is a surprise course by whichever ghost is free that week, and Sundays they are closed.
They just can't find the time or energy to figure out that guy's deal. Best to leave Alvin alone.
They hope to stay out of Batman's radar long enough to break all the curses Gotham is dosed in. It's one of Danny's first real jobs as Ghost King, so he's trying his best, but come on, this place is a mess.
Not to mention the people generally seemed unhappy to have the curses gone. Apparently it doesn't feel right or something.
(Johnny insists Alvin is just a bisexual disaster who has a crush on both of them but Johnny is also a bisexual disaster so the Fenton siblings don't listen to him.)

𝑹𝑶𝑳𝑳 𝑪𝑨𝑳𝑳! Meet the study group!
Tumblr media
𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑪𝑼𝑷𝑰𝑫𝑺! More like the failures, but oh well..
These poor kids are trying to help, really. They aren't actively trying to make things worse for Y/N, they just unintentionally do! All the time! Constantly! But that's okay, what's a study group without the group? Then again, what's the study group without the studying??
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
𝑵𝒐𝒃𝒂𝒓𝒂 is super active on social media, she posts selfies, shopping hauls. She tweets whatever she wants, no shame. She's close with Y/N, Yuji & Megumi, and even though Y/N is constantly studying she tries to go out of her way to see her.
𝑴𝒆𝒈𝒖𝒎𝒊 doesn't post a lot, he usually talks about assignments, posts pictures of his dogs or replies to his friends. Almost has every single class with Y/N and thus, they see each other a lot. Which works out, since they're both pretty focused on their classes, they help each other out often. Hates Sukuna. Bro stares too much.
𝑴𝒂𝒌𝒊 doesn't use social media much at all, she's only there to check out Nobara's posts (they are dating <3) and occasionally to rant. She also does check in on her other friends from time to time. Surprisingly, she hasn't spoken to Y/N yet. Maki's just too busy and Y/N is always studying, but they'll eventually meet when Nobara finally has an excuse to drag one of them away towards the other.
𝑻𝒐𝒈𝒆 is just a professional yapper. He has most of his followers from bullying kids on roblox and posting the clips online sometimes. He's besties with Yuta and him & Rika jokingly throw hands with each other publicly but it's all in good fun. Toge is also a selective mute, and he really only talks around his closest friends.
𝒀𝒖𝒕𝒂 made an account after Toge harassed him to, and he doesn't post too often unless its photography from his travels. Takes his studies probably the most serious, with Megumi right after him. He still manages to balance studying and his social life which surprises a lot of people. He's dating Rika, but she doesn't go to their university. Was Y/N's original study buddy! They never hung out outside of studying though.
𝑼𝒓𝒂𝒖𝒎𝒆 only really made an account to follow Sukuna. Technically, uraume is not a part of the study group. But they're Sukuna's best friend, so they tend to show up around him often. They don't really need the extra studying, but they do have some classes with Y/N. Not really friends, not really enemies, they don't care too much.

Remember that Highschool Bully AU I was talking about? Well here’s what i wanna do:
Scraping the idea of Julie running a hate blog online, changing it! She’s head cheerleader lol! She pretends to be nice to the teachers and such, but to the other *students shes vile!! Shes like two different people depending on if a teacher is present.
Frank is also a suck up to the teachers. He’s the best student in every class, top in grades and everything!! >:D! He’s the president of the photography club, which gives him an excuse to carry a camera everywhere. He uses it to snap embarrassing photos of people and get them into the newspaper, speaking of!
Eddie runs the newspaper club! He also pretends to be a sweetheart the teachers, but also posts the embarrassing photos of people in the paper and rumors n such >:3c he and Frank work together to make ppls life miserable, couple goals
Sally is the president of the Drama club! She’s incredibly authoritative and has an absolute power trip every day in the club. If she doesnt like you, you’re not getting a good role. If you have a good role, cherish it! The second you say something against Sally or any of her friends, shes recasting you. She regularly gives people embarrassing and unnecessary roles just to humiliate them. Like a tree or… grass lmao
Howdy is the mythic bitch here, the scariest guy >:D he’s the tallest strongest guy yknow, a jock! Star player! Bc yknow.. 8 feet tall and 4 arms. Bc hes so big and scary n such he regularly steals from ppl and they cant really do anything about it. He jsut picks people up and throws them, grabs backpacks and kicks people out of them, throws ppl in trash cans and locks them in like everything. Hes mean as fuck.
Barnaby is also on the.. sports team.. but hes not as good as Howdy. Hes a jokester but his jokes are always at the expense of others and normally goes too far. He doenst shake ppl up as much as Howdy does, but he watches and laughs, and Frank records sometimes
Remember when I said I scrapped Julies hate blog? I actually gave it to Poppy! She’s too shy to be mean in real life, and instead hides behind a screen. Her blog is called “Ann Onumouys” (pronounced anonymous lol). Pretty much everyone knows its her, but the teachers turn a blind eye… >.>
Now.. Wally. Wally is pretty much the same lil guy :3 he still hangs out with them all, and theyre all genuinely friends! Hes like their little nice mascot! He doesnt understand that they bully ppl- hes also the reason they dont get in trouble.
Home is the principal and also Wallys guardian! Home is fully aware that Wallys friends bully others, but he will not expel or suspend or anything, bc his friends keep him calm and happy. So he just.. turns a blind eye so that they continue to make Wally happy.
I think thats all I got! I might draw this after work :3

Wig Seller Masterlist
Some people on were asking if I had a post about this and I didn’t, so I thought I’d make a big master post of wig companies I like! It’s in alphabetical order, with information about them listed afterwards. Currently I have fifteen brands on this list, but if I try and am really impressed by another, I’ll add it. I hope maybe one of them has that hard to find wig you’ve been searching for! I have the color samples for Arda, Assist, Classe, Coscraft, Cyperous, Kasou, and Swallowtail and am willing to help you check if a color from them is correct or not.
Airily
Japan only brand, so you’ll need a shopping service. Wide range of colors, including some that are hard to match in other lines, and a lot of base styles that I like more than other brands. Sells both wefts and lace front pieces. Lace hairline wigs are also available. Fit is medium (not particularly large or small). Price is higher. Swatch book not available.
Alice Garden/aiyaya
Amazon wig brand selling lolita/natural looking wigs. The variety is not good but if they have something that looks like what you need to wear with very little styling, you won’t get something as nice for the price! Styles are all very natural looking. Fit is on the smaller end of medium. Price is low. Swatch book not available.
Aoi Wig
Taobao brand doing character wigs, so a shopping service is required. These are hands down the best character wigs I’ve ever worked with. If you don’t want to do a ton of styling and they have the character you want, you literally cannot go wrong here. Fiber isn’t the world’s most durable but will hold up for multiple wears, and the price is good enough to make up for it. Fit is slightly small but larger than most taobao wigs. Price is a bit high for taobao but is still dirt cheap for what you get. Swatch books not available but the photo color is exceedingly accurate.
Arda Wigs
American based. One of the most common brands for a REASON! Wide range of colors in a wide range of styles. If you have a larger head or a lot of hair, this is your new best friend. They sell lace fronts but not individual lace pieces. The big problem with them, however, is the stock issues. Colors run out quickly so sometimes you have to compromise on which style you buy, or place an order from one of their sister sites in another country that actually has the color you need. (OOPS this is no longer an option anymore! Luckily there are a lot of Arda wigs secondhand online.) Nobody has as much hair in their wigs as they do, which can actually be a problem in some styles; be prepared to pluck lace fronts and use thinning shears. Fit is LARGE; they have the largest wigs in the market. Price is a bit high but not exorbitant. Swatch rings are available for both their fiber types
Assist
Japanese brand, ships worldwide but EMS/fedex only so you’ll probably want to group order. Nobody in the market has as many colors as Assist; between their premium and basic lines, they have over 600 colors! DO NOT TRUST THEIR PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY TO PICK COLORS; you need to buy their swatch books or ask a friend who has them to help you choose, because those photos can be criminally inaccurate. If you ever order from them, buy a bottle of Face Cover Glue and watch it change your life as “wig sticks away from face and face framing pieces move out of place” become a distant memory, and I adore their contacts! They sell wefts and lace pieces in their premium line but not their basic. Price varies; Premium line is a great price for what you get, but Basic is incredibly cheap (but not quite as good quality). Fit is small; based on how they fit my clients they’re the smallest of the Japanese brands and if you’ve ever found taobao wigs too small, assist will probably also be too small for you. Swatch books or rings are available and also required.
Blue Beard
Taobao character wig brand, so shopping service is required. Blue Beard wigs are all affordable and decent. You won’t ever get a bad wig from them, but I’ve found that their wigs tend to require a lot of maintenance. Wide range of characters! No wefts available. When you find stolen taobao wig photos, more often than not they’re stealing from Blue Beard. The photos are all color accurate, but you’ll typically need to do a lot of styling to make the wig match the photo. Price is great for what you get. Fit is medium to small. No swatches available.
Classe
Japanese brand that requires a shopping service but oh what a brand it is. Classe has a wide range of colors but where it truly excels is in the range of extra styling supply options. You can buy lace front pieces, yes, but you can also buy stand alone skin top pieces in center whorl or long for parts. No brand is as flexible with what you can do with their wigs, not by a long shot. Make sure to check out their styling blog! Even if it’s all in Japanese, the diagrams are clear and the techniques are genuine life savers. The fiber is beautiful and the website’s color suggestion feature where the desktop version tells you a list of characters they’d use this color for makes picking colors a lot easier. You’ll pay a lot for them, but what you get will be worth it. I’ve been using them a lot lately because no other brand’s fiber is as easy to make behave like human hair. Naturalistic wig stylists and cosmetology people, this brand is for you! Fit is up to 59cm (!!) and is roomy in the hairline coverage to the point some people have to trim the ear tabs a bit shorter, although it’s my personal comfiest fit. (Upon further testing: Classe’s fit is going to be perfect for you if you’ve ever tried an Arda lacefront and found it somehow a bit too big in the cap but too skimpy in the ear and hairline coverage at the same time.) Swatch books are available and affordable.
Coscraft
Based in the UK but ships worldwide despite being way too unknown outside Europe. Coscraft is an absolute gem of a site with a wide range of colors (more than 80!) with plenty of unusual color options that aren’t found anywhere else that doesn’t need a shopping service, a decently large variety of base styles to choose from, and wefts and separate lace front pieces and stick on skin tops in every color. Unlike every other cosplay brand on the planet, their lace front pieces come in dark brown lace for darker skinned cosplayers and not just beige! (The skin top pieces are only in beige so far but hopefully they will work on this.) Also for some reason they sell ridiculously inexpensive corset coutil so for all the craftsmanship people, new source acquired! Even if you’re outside of Europe, Coscraft is so nice that it’s hard to believe their prices. When the pound is up vs your currency, they’re shockingly affordable. When the pound is down vs your currency, the quality per money feels straight up illegal. This is my current go to cosplay wig site for a reason. Fit is larger medium; it won’t be too big or too small on most people. Color swatch ring is available.
Cyperous
Japanese cosplay wig source that theoretically ships EMS outside Japan but I haven’t been able to get that to work for years so shopping service it is. Pour one out for Cyperous; they’re clearly in decline but as one of the original heat resist brands, they’re still here and still worth ordering from while you can. Nobody has as beautiful and delicate blondes as Cyperous; their Milky and White Milky are the best blondes I’ve ever used. They have a nice selection of lace wigs and the much rarer lace bang wigs as well as regular wigs, and wefts of course. No other brand I’ve seen has synthetic wigs that photograph as much like real hair as Cyperous. They can tangle a lot as a result but it’s worth the upkeep. I have no idea how long they’ll keep limping along, but look them up before it’s too late. Price is high but reasonable for what it is. Fit is a true medium. Swatches used to be available and no longer seem to be, but the photos are pretty accurate to my ancient swatch ring and newer wigs.
Five Wits Wigs
Five Wits is the most criminally underrated of the American wig companies because most of their stock photos suck. They really, really, really suck. The photos are somehow incredibly color accurate but represent the wigs as pulled directly from bag and plopped onto someone’s head or a mannequin without even combing them in a flattering way. I wrote them off until I got to see their booth at a con and realized quickly that these wigs are wonderfully made with beautiful fiber that typically photographs like a dream (how do they get such bad stock photos?!) and is so easy to style! Five Wits mostly stocks character wigs, but many of them are versatile enough to use for tons of other things and they offer wefts for some of their colors. The owners are friendly, the service is great, the actual wigs are beautiful, the price for what you get is wonderful, but those dang stock photos keep people from noticing why Five Wits is one of my favorite suppliers! Price is great for what you’re getting, especially for an American brand. The fit is larger end of medium (very few people find it too big or too small). They don’t carry swatch books but every single stock photo, despite being terrible, is an incredibly accurate depiction of the color so feel free to judge colors accordingly.
Kasou
I almost hesitate to put Kasou on here considering that one of the problems with them is that their shipping when it’s from their Chinese warehouse is occasionally “good luck getting your wig”, and I disqualified another past favorite of mine for this, but Kasou squeaked onto this list for two reasons: 1) their fiber and wigs really are spectacular and 2) they have the ONLY Jolyne Kujo pre made wig that I don’t hate. Order from them with confidence that whatever you get will be nice, but keep in mind that there are enough people who’ve had issues with wigs from their Chinese warehouse that you want to give yourself months of lead time if you go that route. They have a decent if slightly expensive price range, medium cap fit, and they do offer swatches. I NO LONGER RECOMMEND KASOU. I still stand by their products being nice, but there have been too many extremely expensive packages lost in the mail with them refusing to refund/replace among cosplayers I know for me to put them as a recommendation. If you order from here, do it with caution.
L-Email / wig-supplier
Not everyone needs premium wigs for heavy styling all the time, and that’s where L-Email comes in. This Chinese-based seller that ships internationally will sell you decent character wigs and decent base wigs for an incredibly affordable price. Nothing from here is going to be spectacular, but if your budget is low and you’re willing to put in a bunch of effort to make up for that, what you need is just a plain wig without tons of styling, or you want a character wig that’s a bit easier to upgrade with extra styling work than other brands because the hardest parts are typically done for you, L-Email is a great option for you. They’re just all around decent, and sometimes that’s what you need. Fit is medium, prices are pretty affordable especially if you go in with friends for shipping, and there aren’t swatches but the photos are typically pretty color accurate.
Sepia
One of the absolute oldest wig companies based in America; every cosplayer active before 2007 has bought at least one Sepia wig. They’re still here though, and now they have some heat resist lace fronts! Their range of fantasy colors is pretty atrocious but if you want some beautiful natural colors, you could do worse than shop here, especially considering there’s at least one more expensive brand (that I’m not putting in this list) that sources lace fronts from Sepia and resells! Fit is medium, price is medium, I haven’t bothered to see if they have swatches because I’m an ancient cosplayer and have the typical Sepia color codes memorized.
Swallowtail
If you’ve heard of this Japanese (shopping service required) wig brand before, it’s probably because the canon wigs in My Dress-Up Darling all come from Swallowtail. There’s more reasons than flexing about how you have the canon Shizuku-tan wig to consider Swallowtail, though! They have a massive color range with a lot of colors I’ve seen nowhere else in the world, and while the fiber isn’t the world’s most durable and is a bit shiny for my tastes in some colors, they’re affordable enough to be a competitive option even if you have to use a shopping service from outside Japan. They offer a full range of wefts and lace pieces and clip ons and a wide variety of base styles. The fit seems to be pretty true medium, and they definitely offer swatches (in the most chaotic ring setup I’ve ever seen. You’ll want to resort that one fast.)
Sylvia_Wig
You can get a lot of decent lace fronts perfect for minimal styling on AliExpress, but Sylvia is my hands down favorite. If you need a natural looking lace front and you don’t want to spend tons of money, this seller is where you should be looking first. There aren’t any swatches or wefts, true, but the wigs have so much more lace than any of the American or Japanese cosplay wig brands, the caps run much larger than most taobao/aliexpress brands (comparable to Kasou or Five Wits), and there’s still plenty of hair to do more basic styles. The fiber is a bit thin and shiny, but it still photographs like a dream, and dollar for dollar you won’t find a better balance between quality lace front and budget friendliness than here. The hairlines are so natural that I have a few from here that haven’t required a single hair plucked to just… melt into my skin. There’s a reason this is my go to first source if I want a lace front and it’s not going to be heavily anime styled (like JoJo or Dragon Ball or whatever). Color stock photos are incredibly accurate; you can trust that what you see is what you’ll get!
since people have sent me asks about this: I do not recommend Epic Cosplay at all anymore. Their construction quality has drastically decreased in recent years to the point I keep getting people asking me to help fix Epic wigs that are literally falling apart, which is enough reason to not want to order from them, but they’ve also had a decade plus pattern of labor rights abuse and employee mistreatment including racism, transphobia, homophobia, ableism, and pregnancy discrimination.

Fates Aligned
Word Count: TBD
Pairing: Akaashi Keiji x YN!Reader
Rating: AKF (Akaashi Keiji Fluff)
Notes: Josei manga refers to manga which appeals to young adult women. :]
Tumblr media
Thinking back on your high school days could pose a problem for you. You're attending your reunion and are amongst friends who are filling you in on their lives: who got married to who, who's adding to their family, and who's dating who. You realize as they talk you become more and more disassociated in the conversation. It's not like you had any juicy gossip to offer--you weren't dating anyone with the prospect of marriage on the way and you definitely weren't expecting an addition to your family except for maybe adopting another kitten to go along with the two year old cat you have waiting for you at home.
As the night progressed, you enjoy a few more drinks and light snacks at your end of the table. That is until you see him. Him, the young man from your past Japanese literature class with stunning gun-blue metal eyes, soft charcoal hair, and quiet nature. His best friend was the loud and often cheery captain of the volleyball team. You remember him as a gentle soul, after all he was much taller than you then. Nowadays, as you over hear of his publishing successes, you are shy to say to you have read many of his publishing house's manga. Your collection is massive, yet no one here would think you were an avid fan.
Until one member of your side of the table brings up a highly popular josei manga title. Your ears perk up as you enter the conversation saying you are an avid fan and reader of the title. A few things to note: the title was published online independently, second, when the copyright was up for renewal, a new publishing company bought it to have the author continue the story, third said author was attending is high school reunion in the pub where you seemed to be gushing over their work.
Whatever you said caused Akashi Keiji to confidently stride up to you and hang out at your end of the table.
"I take it you like that work," he says. "You're, yln yn,m right? Shared a desk with you in Japanese literature."
He seems amused. You seem a bit flustered as you swirl your empty water cup in your hands. You were trying to be a little less drunk before calling it a night.
"You remember me?" you say with a slight scoff. "It's usually hard for people outside of my friend circle here to recognize me. Nice to see you too Akaashi-kun."
He laughs as he clinks glasses with you. As the night progresses, you two become more and more acquainted past the "what happened after university" and the "where/what do you do now" questions.
You were pleased to know he landed a publishing job much like he was impressed your hobby of photography landed you a few lead exposes for National Geographic. Regardless of the years spent apart from that one classroom in Fukurodani, Akaashi lets you in on a little secret.
"You know," he begins. There is a small curl of his lips. "Sitting next to you inspired me to start drawing a little."
"Really? Now that you're a publisher, I didn't think you'd have to be the artist behind the manga," you reply.
"True, but my first manga heroine? She was inspired by you," he said this casually as he pulls out his phone to show you a very rough sketch of a short, limited series run of a manga you read online.
"N-no way," you gasp. You start to see little coincidences of you in the character when you re-read the first few pages and you glance back at Akaashi.
"I was too shy and reserved back then to ask, but," he starts when you hand him his phone back. "Would you like to go out with me sometime? I have a deadline to meet next Thursday, but Friday I am free."
And without missing a beat, you reply.
"Sure, I can be free next Friday. Anything for the author of 'fates aligned': a red string of fate short series," you smile brightly as he chuckles.

Sophie is thriving love it! I am so hyped for the gothic horror she is doing with Kit and already another project. I know these things don't happen over night but Sophie no longer having to put a manchild's needs first is the best thing to happen to her.
I hope she knows how much her fans love her and want the best for her.
Honestly, I'm happy she didn't let her divorce stop her. But to be honest, I'm not very surprised. Sophie never seemed to me like someone who wanted to stop her career. Maybe taking a break for her personal life and/or to focus on her studies (her criminal classes online she talked about in 2019/2020). Since a few years, she clearly stated she wants to choose her projects thoughtfully and do news things in UK. 'Joan' is one example of it. But not gonna lie, when you have to compromise with someone (especially when it's someone like Joe) it's difficult to do what you want when you want.
Remember back in 2019 when their agenda matched so well ? This documentary (Happiness something) and the Sucker clip were released around the same time of GoT season 8 & Dark Phoenix ? I found it kind of weird and I was a bit annoyed to be honest. But I thought Sucker was fun and nice. The clip, the scenery, the photography. I can't judge the music, I'm so bad at it. But then, there was another clip, another documentary... with Danielle, Priyanka and Sophie being the focus. They kind of used their wives for fame didn't they ? I remember reading Danielle was unconfortable doing those things because she wasn't from the business.
We can only guess why she's retired from two projects (Wardriver & Come as you are)... to be honest, I don't think Joe is the sole reason why she had to refuse some projects/take some breaks. She has two children and they're so young. The first one didn't even start school. So I tend to think they came first when she was thinking about her career. Plus, the covid certainly didn't help.
I believe with her family and friends' support, without Joe and her eldest going to school (or soon) help her. And she can choose her projects more freely. Plus the mediation around the divorce seems to be done.
Sorry for the long post. I had a lot to say...

"Poker always works"
by Christian Von Hocke, originally written 24 July 2009 for Zeit Online (x)
Formula 1 pro Nico Rosberg talks in an interview about his life as a globetrotter, exotic food and his preferences for other sports.
Question: Mr. Rosberg, like right now in Budapest, you're on the road all year round with Formula 1 around the world. Don't you sometimes get homesick?
Nico Rosberg: I've had nine hotels in four weeks, which is exhausting. But homesick? No. I really enjoy traveling, it's very educational and very interesting. That's what I would also do in my free time: get to know new countries, discover new people, the way they live.
Question: So you've turned a hobby into a profession right alongside driving.
Rosberg: Yes, there are many places in the world that I would like to see and that excite me. I'm also planning a big trip during the winter break. I'm interested in India, for example, with its spirituality, or South America, Patagonia, a safari in South Africa. Even just hiking. That's not something I would normally do, but it's good for the body's regeneration. There's so much I can do, I'm just afraid that I'll take on too much and it will end up being too stressful.
Question: Michael Schumacher has regretted that he never saw anything of the Grand Prix venues apart from the airport and the track. Do you also explore the cities where you race?
Rosberg: Yes, especially at the overseas races. I have a bit more time there because we always arrive a bit earlier due to the time change. But even so, there's always the Saturday evening before or the Monday after the race. We have great races in interesting cities like Melbourne or Singapore or Shanghai.
Question: And what do you do there?
Rosberg: I go into town. I have a nice meal in a restaurant or go out for a drink or shopping in the evening, or I go to the beach and go surfing. Or I look at the special features of the city. I'm also very interested in photography and always have my big camera with me.
Question: But traveling can also be quite stressful. Can you sleep on the plane?
Rosberg: No, very badly. I have to lie horizontally and need rest so that I can concentrate on falling asleep, otherwise it doesn't work. For that reason alone, I have to fly business class. That's not a problem in Europe, where I always have my camper van to take me to the tracks.
Question: There are 17 Formula 1 races in 2009 alone. Have you ever woken up and not known which city you were in?
Rosberg: Not that, but I was once at the airport at check-in, and the woman asked me: Where are you flying to? And I didn't know. I'd been to four or five different countries that week, I was tired and unfocused, and I just couldn't think of it. She looked at me like I was stupid (laughs).
Question: Do you sometimes wish you had an office job from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., where you could throw your coat over the hook and stretch your legs in front of the TV when you're done working?
Rosberg: No. Whether it's a nine-to-five job or a Formula 1 racing driver isn't that important. I don't know if it would make anyone else happier if they led my life. My friends all have nine-to-five jobs, and they're no less happy than I am. It's always what you make of it that matters.
Question: But you also need a bit of home, don't you? Many people always have their music player with them to simulate a feeling of home wherever they go.
Rosberg: I'm not a music fan. I got an iPod as a gift, but I haven't really used it yet. For me, it's the cell phone. It connects me with friends and family. That's cool, I can also use it to go on the Internet. When I don't have it with me, I feel very naked. Like today, I don't even know what's going on anymore.
Question: Anyone who travels so much must have acquaintances all over the world.
Rosberg: That's true - wherever I go in the world, there are my best friends. I know them either through racing or from the past. I grew up in Monaco, and nobody stays there. Today, my old friends are everywhere, in Australia, China, America or South Africa. I can call them up and ask if we want to have a drink.
Question: Can you maintain hobbies while traveling?
Rosberg: I like to play football, but I rarely do that when I'm traveling. Poker is always on. I'm not very proud of it, actually it's nonsense to sit in front of a computer and play poker. But it's fun. Otherwise: eating. Does that count? I already see it as a hobby, I love to eat for my life, delicacies, creative, new things, especially country-related. I was in Marrakech with my girlfriend the other day, they have gigantic food there.
Question: In your travels, do you notice how places in the world change from year to year, and not just in terms of cuisine?
Rosberg: Yes. My parents have a country house in Aix-en-Provence. At first it was quite isolated, but now it's become a huge settlement with an industrial area.
Question: Let's be honest: What is your least favorite place in the world?
Rosberg: Kuala Lumpur. We're always just sitting around at the airport there (laughs).

how you meet tye guys from either MIW or BO
hope life is getting better
😂😂 life is a nightmare, genuinely, I’m just disassociating at this point 😂
Anyways we’ll do both :) I’ll start with motionless because I know them best! This one was fun, i hope it doesn’t seem too unrealistic (I’m not super familiar with bad omens so…. Yeah anyways…)
Ricky: I genuinely believe that he would love to meet someone at a bookstore, not on purpose but complete accident. Like you both are looking for the same book or something and bump into each other, which leads to talking and then just more. Maybe this is me projecting because I’d love to meet a guy in a bookstore but yeah 😅
Vinny: I think you’d start as online friends, you wind up part of a group online he plays with and then slowly branch out to doing sessions just the two of you, eventually agreeing to meet in person to do your own little gaming session once he realizes that you live near him. It gives the two of you a fun way to bond and get to know each other without it getting too crazy all at once.
Ryan: maybe a photography workshop you’re attending, the two of you get assigned for a project together for the day and have to work closely to try new techniques and styles that neither of you typically do. Through talking and figuring it all out you realize that the two of you have a lot more similar interests and it builds as you exchange numbers to keep in touch.
Chris: 100% hockey game, the two of you wind up having tickets next to each other at a game and he can’t get over just how into it you are, that you are sitting there without a care in the world, yelling at the refs and banging on the glass, despite the fact you’re short and very underwhelming despite trying to be. The two of you talk through the game, about your favorite players, different games you’ve gone to other than this one, etc.
Justin: I want to go a little silly for this and say (because his stage makeup and everything is amazing) that you bumped into him at Sephora or the like. You’re an actress/actor at a haunted house in the area and need to go get more and both of you just bump into each other while looking for different products together, leading to a conversation of why you’re looking for a unique selection of makeup and same with him. Discovering your love of horror and related things before you both wind up wandering the mall together for a little bit.
Bad Omens:
Noah: I think it’d be cool to meet him at one of his martial arts classes, he notices something that you do that impresses him, leading to him making his way over to ask you questions about that move, and the two of you kind of branch out, you showing him how to do it and him showing you something too, and next thing you know the time is up but neither of you wants to walk away just yet.
Nicholas: Tattoo convention, you’re there to work and he’s just there to wander around, trying to learn new techniques and styles while admiring other people’s work. He walks by as you’re working on a tattoo from death note and stops, of course the client says it’s okay, and that leads to the three of you having an extensive conversation about anime, as well as him asking about a couple things you’re doing that’s different than his style. Eventually he continues on, and when he sees you’re still working on tattoos hours later he grabs a coffee as thanks for talking with him earlier in the day and brings it to you, which you appreciate… a little while later you notice there’s a phone number written on the takeout coffee cup and can’t help but smile.
Folio: you love fishing, having done it since you were a child so one day you decide you need to get a break from work and the stress of life so you head to your favorite fishing spot, a little annoyed when you notice someone else is there. You move a little ways down the river and set up, getting started. Eventually the other person makes his way down to you, asking you if you happen to have another set of hooks he could possibly buy off you, embarrassed that he forgot his tackle box full of extras. You can’t help but giggle at how bashful he’s being and just let him have one of yours, both of you starting to talk about different bait you use, other equipment that’s different between the two of you and that leads to the two of you finishing together, laughing and enjoying the calm together.
Jolly: he stops in to a musical shop to look at strings, wanting to try something different to change the tone of his playing for a song they’re working on, the two of you bumping into each other. You seem indecisive on what you want and he notices, asking what you’re looking for, giving you advice on how to change the sound you’re getting, then asking you about the music you play. You notice his accent and ask where he’s from leading to other conversations, but mostly bonding over your shared passion for guitar and song writing!

✞︎ KIM HAENA was born on april 17th, 2002 in seoul, south korea as the baby of her family. her older brother is the korean alternative artist known as ‘TABBER’. haena was very ambitious as a child. with her parents encouragement, she participated in various activities such as volleyball, soccer, photography, art, etc. she loved being active and always kept herself busy.
when haena entered high school, she discovered her passion for acting and would take acting classes while studying. she would land a contract with MANAGEMENT SOOP after being seen by a casting director while participating in a school play.
she would feature in small background roles before landing a lead role in the movie ‘young adult matters’ as the character ‘sejin’. this would garner her more attention than she ever expected, being criticized for playing such a “controversial” role but also being praised for her acting skills.
despite her success with the movie, her activities would only dwindle, being sidelined by her company in favor of other artist. haena would grow tired of being downplayed and ended up leaving her management less than a year later. she would then be scouted by ViVi and decided to take a chance in switching career paths.
HAENA would find difficulty adjusting to idol training. starting completely from square one, she felt inferior to the other trainees, not having any experience in singing or dancing. however, due to her determination she was able to debut in dollbones as the leader, lead rapper, and face of the group.
while often praised for her leadership, haena has been subjected to criticism for her skills as an idol; being called “untalented” and a “filler member”. she doesn’t let it get to her though. even after debuting, haena continues to show her determination and strive to become the best she can be.

SAEROM would accomplish her goal by debuting in dollbones as the lead vocalist, lead dancer, and center. she quickly became the most popular member, followed by chaerry. many recognized her talents and love for being an idol. being the center, saerom received a lot of attention, even outside of the kpop circle. going viral internationally on social media for her performance and overall gaining more popularity for the group.

✞︎ CERISE KIM was born on august 5th, 2003 in los angeles, california. her mother, yoon mihye, worked as a model. she was only 16 years old when she had her daughter and as a result of keeping her, she was forced to move out of her parents home and drop out of school to raise cerise. mihye never told cerise’s father she was pregnant and cut off contact with him before cerise was born.
growing up, cerise was forced into the spotlight, being put into dance classes as soon as she could walk and working as a child model, forcibly following her mother’s path. it was all mihye cared about; making cerise famous. and while that meant that cerise has to raise herself because her mother was either too busy trying to make her kid a star or fighting with her over small matters, she never complained. she loved being on camera and in the spotlight.
when cerise was 16, she would come into contact with her father. the two would meet and instantly connect. after their second meeting, she would meet her younger brother, whom her father had with his now late wife. cerise would end up moving in with them, which caused her mother cut all contact with her.
most people would describe cerise as someone who was born to be famous. she was popular growing up; a party girl and adored by many. therefore, it was no surprise when she was scouted through social media by ViVi Studios. she was hesitant at first mainly because she wasn’t all too familiar with kpop, but ultimately her father convinced her to give it a try as she became a trainee in the beginning of 2023.
CHAERRY would become known as dollbones’ golden girl, the glue that holds them together. her friendly and extroverted persona made her a stand out member amongst fans. also being praised for her dance skills, chaerry has been added to the list of the best dancers in the industry.

✞︎ WANG SUJIA was born on november 10th, 2003 in guangzhou, china. when sujia was only 2, her mother would end her own life, leaving sujia to be raised solely by her dad. being only a baby, her mother’s death didn’t have much of an effect on her. her father on the other hand, it took a long time for him to fully heal. he calls sujia his angel. without her, he wouldn’t have made it.
sujia grew up very close with her father. in order to make up for nothing having a mom, he did everything for her. he treated her like a princess. he wanted to give her the world and make her to feel loved. sujia has nothing but good memories with him.
sujia never sought out being an idol, or anything in the performing arts. she actually was in school to become a hairstylist before being scouted by ViVi. she initially said no before being convinced by the ceo to give it a try. sujia would actually end up leaving the company after 3 months due to homesickness. she would stay home, for 1 month before going back to ViVi after being convinced by her dad to keep trying.
SUJIA would debut in dollbones as the main vocalist, much to her surprise. she never actually expected to debut but was grateful she did. she credits her dad, the ceo, and even the members for believing in her. sujia is heavily praised for her vocals, being dubbed a natural talent after fans learned she only trained for two years and never had any prior experience in singing.

✞︎ KATAKURA HANABI was born on june 1st, 2004 in yokohama, japan. her mother, who had her as a teenager, couldn’t afford to raise her, therefore, she was adopted by her aunt shortly after she was born. her aunt did the bare minimum of raising her, but never shared the same relationship with hanabi as she did with her biological children, giving them more love and attention hanabi could ever receive from her.
as a child hanabi was described as provocative, a “problem child”, saying the most outlandish things that were on her mind. she didn’t care who she angered or made uncomfortable, if she thought it─ she said it. hanabi felt alone and isolated by her family. all she ever wanted was attention and she figured that becoming an idol would give her that. hanabi auditioned for CUBE ENTERTAINMENT in 2019 and would become a trainee. however, after missing a spot in ‘lightsum’, hanabi left CUBE and join ViVi Studios 1 month later.
HANABI would successfully debut in dollbones as the main rapper, and also a main songwriter for the group as she has been credited in writing all of the group’s music. hanabi is also heavily credited for the group’s concept. while preparing for debut, she would present some of her songs to production which would lead to shaping the concept for the girls.
though, she would become a controversial member for her “bad” attitude and personality. she would be seen on camera rolling her eyes or acting uninterested. she was even accused of actively disrespecting her members. however, what most people don’t see is hanabi’s soft and childlike personality. being the youngest in group, and actually feeling wanted and appreciated, she allows herself to be a fun-loving kid around the members. but you only see that in select variety appearances and livestreams.

(pardon my bad cropping: it's been at least 8 years since I took a class on video editing and I can't figure out how to do it the way I want it)
When I saw this scene, it really got me thinking. At first I thought, "I never had any crushes on girls when I was younger. Discovering I was bisexual came out of nowhere." Or so I thought, until a few days ago.
I realized I was bisexual when I took a photography class my senior year of high school. My best friend was gay (so gay my mom could tell from across the street when we were 13), so it's not like I didn't know any queer people, but it just never really occurred to me that I could be queer too. Enter Purple-Haired Sarah. She had just moved to our town (I lived in one of those places the majority of people spend their entire childhood there), so I had just met her that year. She wasn't just pretty, but she (obviously) had purple hair and a fun style. If we had to work in pairs or groups, I wanted to be with her. Then one night I had a sexy dream about her. And that's when it clicked for me. Definitely a, "Well, guess I'm bi now." (There was a bit of experimentation with a friend of a friend to confirm, not that you necessarily need to do that)
But I really, truly thought I never had any crushes on other girls when I was younger. I saw this scene and thought, "Yeah, that was never me." I never had that urge to impress or desire to always be around certain friends- oh wait. Maybe I did.
My very first best friend was named Steph, or Steffy when we were younger. We met in second grade. I was always at her house or she was at mine (more often at hers because she had a computer and AOL so we could go in the chat rooms and do other online stuff in the early 90s). She used to live around the corner from me, but she moved a little bit away. Luckily, the school district let her and her brother still go to the same elementary school, but she did end up going to a different junior high/middle school (my district switched when we were in 8th grade, so we only spent 2 years at those schools). We also joined orchestra in 4th grade (violin for me, cello for her), though she didn't continue into JH/MS and I did. What was really interesting was that she facilitated in a crush I had on a boy who played viola (who eventually became a good friend in high school and we did make out a few times). I'd write him notes and she'd drop them in his viola case on her way to the cello section when we had rehearsals for the district wide Orchestra Festival. When we were younger, we both had a major love for the Baby-Sitters Club books. I remember one year I wanted us to dress as two of the characters for Halloween. She was supposed to be Kristy and I was Mary Anne (before her dad loosened up and let her wear things other than skirts and dresses). She didn't follow through with it though, and I was really upset about it.
I was really sad when Steph wasn't able to go to the same school as me for JH/MS. And when she went there, she really changed. TBH, I kinda did too, but I always was really disappointed that she changed so much. We were both big Hanson fans when they first were popular, but I never got into any of the other boy bands or pop artists of the late 90s/early 00s. She became really preppy and I was more punk/alternative (I went through a big Nirvana phase in 8th grade). It broke my heart that she wasn't my best friend anymore and we didn't have as much in common as we used to. We did go to the same high school and we were still friends, but it definitely wasn't the same. But I think the fact that I always wanted to hang out with her, was so disappointed when we weren't at the same school and that she changed so much might have been signs of an early crush (even if I was having crushes on boys at the same time).
The next one without a doubt (though I just thought of this yesterday) was my best friend Rachael. Rachael and I met in third grade and she was a part of my friend group with Steph. Later in elementary school, we were inseparable. She was definitely my best friend out of the friend group. In seventh grade, I spent a lot of time at her house. She even took me on a vacation with her family one summer. Unfortunately, in eighth grade she moved out to the county (IDK why my particular area uses the term "county" instead of "country," but that's just the local vernacular for the area west of the interstate). We stayed close friends, though. I still spent a lot of time at her house because my mom really liked her (not that she didn't like Steph) and as we got older, we got into similar music and clothing styles, unlike Steph. All through high school we spent a ton of time together, despite her being a 25 minute drive away (if that doesn't say something about how much I loved being with her, IDK what does). She was my partner in crime when I had a boyfriend my mom didn't like and she kind of a had thing with his friend too. We talked my grandma into taking us to see them, even though my mom forbade it. When I got a car, I would drive out to hang out with her all the time (and drive her and her boyfriend around and they'd make out in the backseat of my mid 80s Buick and I'd "accidentally" have to slam on the brakes so they'd go flying off the seat). We remained super close all through high school, despite not even being in the same school district. We went to local punk band concerts together, thrift shopped for fun random t-shirts from the kids section (that was kind of our style) and crushed on similar boys.
The only thing that was a bit of a problem with Rachael was when I came out as bisexual, it made her uncomfortable. Maybe she realized my feelings for her were more than platonic even though I didn't. I mean, there was always a lot of ass smacking and other silly things that could totally be seen as flirting, even though I didn't perceive it that way. But looking back, I totally see it now.
The last crush I didn't realize was a crush was the first one that got me thinking about this: Rhianon. I met Rhianon in seventh grade and she was just so cool, especially with such a cool name and I was boring Nicole V. Her parent let her dye fun color streaks in her dark hair and she wore such cool clothes. She was fairly popular, but not in a preppy way like it was in the late 90s. She didn't like boy bands or the other pop singers like Steph. She liked bands like No Doubt (she was very inspired by Gwen Stefani's fashion) and other alternative bands of the time. Honestly, she was kind of an inspiration. I wanted to be more like her. I wanted to be her. Maybe I just wanted her.
We were friends in high school because we still hung with the same crowd. I was definitely jealous of her: her confidence, her style, the boys she was able to date. I distinctly remember a local band show where she was dating one of the trombonist of one of the ska bands who I really like and I legit spent most of the show crying in the bathroom because seeing them all over each other made me so jealous. But was I jealous of her or was I jealous of him?
Tumblr media
I certainly wouldn't have thought so at the time, but looking back, it probably was.
I definitely remember her posting on LiveJournal after she went to college that she had joined a sorority. I actually commented on the post and said I was very disappointed that she had because that just wasn't the Rhianon I knew. One of her new friends replied and didn't understand why I felt so strongly about it. But sororities just weren't very Rhianon, if you asked me. She still remained pretty cool all this time, though. She got married a few years before I did and she wore this really cute almost sort of rockabilly shorter wedding dress with a birdcage veil. I would have loved to be able to pull off something like that (not that I didn't love my wedding dress, because I wouldn't change a thing about the way my wedding turned out, minus the way the arch got set up), but I've just never had the confidence she's always had.
Oh, and the interesting thing about my Rhianon crush I didn't realize was still definitely a crush: she often comments or reacts to my Facebook posts and I was super disappointed that she didn't go to our high school reunion. I would have loved to have seen her. And now I know why.
That a-ha moment is really interesting to think about. Needless to say, Nick's bisexual discovery has made a lot of us older bis realize we had some of those feelings earlier than we originally thought. Even me, who swore up and down it was just Purple-Haired Sarah during senior year that did it for me. The more I think about it, the more I realize she probably wasn't the first.

Vikings + modern!uni students
Summary: Vikings as modern!uni students
Notes: I love this so much, so it’s a bit long, with a bunch of characters. Always included the major/subject I think they’d pick too.
Taglist: @batmandallyboy @bragisrunes @demon-of-the-ancient-world @deans-ch-ch-cherrypie @punkrocknpearls @alice-dopey (hmu to be added!)
Masterlist | based on this request | requests are OPEN!
Ragnar
I think Ragnar would be the worst kind of dormmate
He never gives you a heads up when someone is over, he smokes weed in the room and he’s very chaotic
But he’s also smart
Only fails the classes he hates
Wide range of interest, switches majors all the time
Major: Business + International Relations (ends up giving into parent’s pressure, but it works out)
Lagertha
She’s the perfect dormmate
Cooks enough for both of you, very clean, very considerate
I’m not sure what she would enjoy studying, or if she’d even study
I think Lagertha would be a firefighter or so
Major (if she did study): Geology or Norse paganism/history
Aslaug
I think she’d be in a sorority for like two weeks before she moves out
Aslaug is super extravagant
I know for a fact what she would study
And she excels at everything she does
Except cooking
Good dormmate
Major: fashion (obvi?!)
Bjorn
He’s a frat bro, throughout the entirety of uni
Ragnar wants him to study finance, and Bjorn makes that his persona for a while
Is absolutely miserable and fails all his classes
I just don’t think it’s for him
He’d end up opening a construction company or just starting to work for Lothbrok Inc. in a more practical job
Alternatively I think he could be a pro athlete
Ubbe
Works towards a scholarship and gets it
Does all the work too: volunteers, he’s on a sports team (American football, soccer, maybe track or some martial art), excellent grades
I think he’d enjoy uni very much, and like being more independent
Definitely meets his future wife in uni
Major: Business
Hvitserk
I have two careerpaths for Hvitserk
Either he goes to culinary school
Or, and this comes from one of @bragisrune ‘s fics
He wants to do nursing
I think he’d be a fun roommate, but a total slob
Parties hard
Major: medicine/nursing
Sigurd
Goes from theater kid straight to broadway
Or well, tries
Definitely an arts major
Roommate that just. Disappears for weeks at a time
Major: Music/performing arts/theater
Ivar
Snob roomie
Absolutely horrible, until you like, defend him from someone while depressingly drunk
You have to be liked by Hvitserk in order for him to like you
Idk what he’d study, I feel like he has a big range of interests
Major: history or maybe one of the sciences. Also learns a language in uni
Athelstan
He kind of has an Amish experience going to college
Grew up very sheltered in a tiny monastery in Great Britain, goes out into the world
And boom, everything hits at once
Very quiet and pleasant roommate
Major: Theology or history
Floki
The chaotic guy that’s always late to class
Aces tests without studying
Okay roommate, it’s honestly 50/50 every night
Knows every plug around uni
Has these giant barbecues for everyone to attend and talk
Major: theme park engineering (it’s a real thing)
Helga
Also an amazing roommate
She totally brings you treats and bakes you something for your birthday
Helga is another one of those characters where I know for a fact what she would study
If she didn’t want to work in a kindergarten
Major: education (best elementary/middle/high school teacher ever)
Alfred
Another theater kid
However, I think he doesn’t want to be in the center of attention, but more ‘behind the scenes’
Most definitely, 1000% on tumblr, chronically online
He writes fanfiction.
Would make moodboards for @bragisrunes
Major: film/photography/art history
Elsewith
She’s a girly in STEM
On her way to get a PhD, valedictorian, just everything
I think she’d be a good roomie, but she studies a lot and expects a quiet environment for it
Has her standards for everything, very clean
Major: either biology or engineering

you're a photographer right? I'm trying to get more into it but I'm not sure where to start. Like academically. Who's your favorite photographer right now?
oh sick! congrats dude it's awesome you're getting into it. Wendy Red Star is fantastic, she's an Apsáalooke artist from Montana. my favorite series of hers is the quintessential Four Seasons-- the use of intricate staging really exemplifies, to me, what it means to be a contemporary photographer making work about identity & perception. Sama Alshaibi is an artist I actually took some classes with, I love her vision of Arab futurism, and how she uses old practices to reclaim the orientalist lens.
I think some of the best places to start learning about photography are online publications like aperture.org and F-stop magazine. womenphotograph.com is also completely invaluable. as for photobooks, try the Ballad of Sexual Dependency by Nan Goldin, & the attached documentary All The Beauty & The Bloodshed; she photographed her intimate relationship with the gay community of new york during the AIDS crisis and she's fought hard against the Sacklers and the opioid crisis. also, read Susan Sontag's books On Photography or Regarding the Pain of Others, (< pdf link) if you're interested in documentary work or anything that involves other people. she offers some great insight into war photography, the ethics of photographing the homeless, the brutalized, so on. great resource.
best of luck to you!!
