fury on the field

Dave Karofsky. Don’t worry, after the first time, it’ll be as simple as tying your shoes. Twenty-one years of age. Majoring in sports science, minoring in interior design. Could probably build you a cute desk, if you promise not to scratch it up. Cleveland Browns fan.

if they can’t find anything to destroy ; they destroy themselves.

STATS

NAME: David Anthony Karofsky. NICKNAME(S): Dave. AGE 21. BIRTHDAY/ZODIAC: April 9th, Aries. BIRTHPLACE: Dayton, Ohio. MAJORING IN: Sports Science. MINORING IN: Interior Design. HAIR COLOR: Dark Brown. EYE COLOR: Hazel. HEIGHT: 6' (183cm). OTHER NOTED FEATURES: Tattoos (especially on his arm).

TRIVIA:

He's wrestled with his sexuality since high school, presenting as straight. He despises being gay and, even more, resents others who are open and unapologetic about it—it feels like they're rubbing it in his face. He believes society won’t accept him for who he is and fears the judgment he imagines would come if the truth ever got out. The real issue, though, is that he can't even fully admit the truth to himself. That said, you might still catch him in a gay bar, making out with another man.

He loves his family fiercely and is incredibly protective of his siblings. Honestly, if you so much as laid a finger on any of them, he wouldn’t hesitate to make you regret it. He looks out for them in every way, and they’re probably the only people in the world who get to see his softer side.

Even though he plays on a football team, he only does it to keep his father happy. He’s terrified of disappointing him. The truth is, Dave’s real passion lies in carpentry, working with wood and crafting things with his own hands. It’s a hobby he picked up during summers spent with his grandparents, and it’s what truly makes him feel alive.

Sure, he has a tendency to be mean to people, but that’s just a reflection of how much he dislikes himself and the constant battle he’s fighting inside. Still, every now and then, his softer side breaks through, offering a rare glimpse of the person he wishes he could be more often.

I really do hope that I don't regret my choice of what I wanted to study, of course I am motivated and passionate about it, but I also know that this is going to be a lot of work. I think I need to get myself a membership at the coffee place or something, because I will be needing those in the early mornings when I have 7am dance calls.... So how's everyone doing? I'm Myles, Myles Smythe. I'm majoring in Musical Theatre, and minoring in Dance, I love coffee, alcohol, parties, pizza, and video games. A fun fact about myself... I once went to a party in High School, and lord knows how, but I somehow ended up in the middle of a car parking lot, completely naked... Along with 5 others.... Yeeeaaaah, It's probably best that I don't remember what happened.

[askdavek]

You musical theatre kids are surely something.

How do you people even drink coffee? It’s like the devil doing a tango in your mouth.

[asktinacc]

...there's a good chance that might have been me, actually.

oh, yikes. yeah, that doesn't sound fun.

hmm. hard to say. actually, no- i had to take an intro to public speaking course last year, and i ended up having to just drop it after the first week. worst week of my life.

[askdavek]

You sure? Didn't look like you. I'd probably have given you a tissue.

That sounds like a nightmare. I totally get it. The pressure's brutal. I still have yet to meet anyone who enjoys speaking in a public. Though, if I had to drop out of a class after a week, I'd probably count it as the best week of my life.

[askspencerp]

you get it.

antique furniture, huh? that stuff lowkey gives me the heebie jeebies. i think it's got something to do with the creepy dolls you usually see paired with it, and i'm not trying to get annabelled over here. so, the same, except not at all, gotcha. yeah, but i wasn't planning on going anyway. not really my speed, you know? the vibe's just too hetero for my taste. ...no offense or whatever.

[askdavek]

Oh, those are hilarious. I hope one day I can find something similar so I can use it for next Halloween. But even though I’ve thought about bringing it around and scaring the crap out of someone like Sue Sylvester, that poor doll would probably end up flying out the third floor window on its own.

But nah, I’m actually working on some cabinet right now. Found it in the ads and offered to take it on, y’know, more experience and all that.

Yeah, I feel you. I was not planning on going either. Different reasons, though.

[asktinacc]

...you know, that actually sounds better than my choice, i kind of wish i'd gone that route. too late now, though, i guess. maybe next semester.

what class did you get stuck with on friday mornings, anyway? i always feel like that's the hardest one to get through - either that, or the monday morning one. probably a tie.

[askdavek]

I’m honestly more surprised that people can stick to their plans and schedules so well. Couldn’t be me. But then I remember seeing someone crying in the library for 10 minutes, and as soon as their phone rang, they went right back to studying like nothing happened.

Nutrition and metabolism. And even worse? They brought in someone to give a whole ass presentation. I almost fell asleep.

What's the worst class you've taken?

[askspencerp]

fair enough. personally, i'm of the "if they talk behind your back - then fart" mentality.

plans? i plan on laying back in my bean bag chair until my ass is numb, and my bag of fritos is empty. you?

[askdavek]

Mmhmm. Same.

Solid plan. Other than that I finally got a chance to refurbish some antique furniture, it's looking the same. Except swap the bean bag for a bed and the Fritos for, well, whatever. Did you hear that sigma party got cancelled again?

[askdavek]

who's your favorite browns player?

Probably Myles Garrett.

[askdavek]

what's the most-used app on your phone?

Block Blast. I got hooked on this one while watching YT shorts and saw someone play it.

[askdavek]

do you currently have a crush on anyone?

Crushes? Nah, I try not to set myself up for heartbreak. Easier to keep things simple, you know? I enjoy being there for friends when their crush is ignoring them, though. Always funny.

[askdavek]

do you have a 'type'?

Type? Nah, I’m more of a vibe kind of person. If we click, we click. That's all what matters.

[askspencerp]

fomo for social media is wild. guess we've got to stop talking shit about you now that you've joined us, huh?

dude, i thought we all agreed to pretend like the c word doesn't exist when it's the weekend. let me chill without having to be reminded of anything that requires brain usage.

[askdavek]

That's why I am here. I would rather have you talk shit about me when I can hear you. Instead of having to see some stuff over someone's shoulder.

My own brain's officially out of office, so that's not something you got to worry about. So, what you planning for this weekend?

[asktinacc]

honestly? controversial opinion, maybe, but i kind of like early morning classes. ...not so much when i have to get up for them, but it's nice to get everything out of the way, and have my afternoons open to get all my assignments done, which leaves my nightly scheduled wallowing away in self-pity time uninterrupted. yay college.

[askdavek]

Bold take indeed. I’ll stick to scheduling my self-pity for the mornings so I can sleep in and pretend afternoon classes are less of a scam. Yay college indeed!

[askpuckerman]

shit, i was looking forward to it too until the party at sigma chi tonight got canceled last second because one of the frat brother's grandmas just had to pick this morning to flatline. fuckin selfish.

what are you all excited about anyway? you getting laid later or something? does she have hot friends?

[askdavek]

Are we sure he’s not just makin’ shit up again? Last time, he claimed his cousin got into an accident, so he had to cancel his party to pick her up at the airport. But then Joe said his girlfriend saw him at a Taylor Swift concert with said cousin. Or whoever she’s supposed to be.

Nah, I’m holding out for you to set me up with someone instead. I’ll finally get a chance to refurbish an old antique, and I’m damn excited about it.

How you doing?

[askdavek]

Well, here goes nothing. I keep hearing people talk about this hellhole, so I figured I'd check it out.

Whoever decided that early Friday classes should be a thing is a massive moron. Finally, the week is over. Was looking forward to the weekend.

[askdavek]

how did you become a browns fan?

I was probably around 8 or 9 when pops took me to my first game. It was supposed to be one of those fun family weekends. He’s always been a big fan of the team and kinda passed that on to me.

Man, I hate sounding all nostalgic and sappy like this. But it reminds me of all the time we’ve spent together watching games.

We never missed a single one.

[lalalandfm]

I guess you could say that.

Is that so? Give me a day or so. I'll be talking to Coach Sylvester about some changes that need to be made. As a way to help the team, of course.

[askdavek]

Just make sure your changes don’t end up making things worse. The last thing we need is another distraction.

[askblaine]

Does anyone else ever feel like they run into Coach Sylvester just a little too often? I mean, it’s obviously not that odd when it happens in the hallways or at Lima Bean, but what on earth is she doing at Between The Sheets? She went into a minute-long rant about how much she hates sheet music just a few days ago, and something tells me she's not there for the impromptu live performances either. This was the third time this week that she was suddenly standing behind me, and I’m kind of starting to think she’s spying on me.

[askdavek]

Am I seriously the only one who’s somehow managed to avoid running into Sue Sylvester?

She’s kinda relatable. The other day, someone broke out into song in the hallway, and I totally felt the same way she did. Please don't.
