ASKBOX MEME 01: DEVELOPMENT!

Hello, citizens of JONGNORP! Here we present to you our first ever askbox meme! We thought it would be a great idea to toss one on the dash to get everyone into the heads, hearts, and souls of their muses, especially before we launch any events (which are coming soon... 👀)! Anyone who wishes to partake in this meme, please reblog this post and ensure your ask-boxes are open! Please tag all responses with JONGNO:MEME, as well. Thank you! Instructions: send one (or multiple) of the emojis to a participant and they have to respond truthfully from the POV of whichever muse the question is directed to. Oh, and please remember to have fun! 🥰

💭 THOUGHT BUBBLE: What is your muses MBTI, zodiac (their sun, moon, rising, etc.), any other personality things, and how does each describe, align with, or contradict their personality?

🩹 BANDAID: Does your muse have any physical or mental disabilities, or illnesses? Do the people around them know about this? How does it affect their everyday life and relationships? How do they feel about it?

❓QUESTION MARK: What are three interesting facts about your muse? Who knows about these things? Are they positive/negative/neutral things to your muse?

🌈 RAINBOW: What is your muse's sexual and/or romantic orientation? Who knows about it? How do they feel about it? Have they always known, or did it take time to figure out?

❤️ RED HEART: Is your muse in a relationship right now? If they are, how is it going? How did they get together? How long have they been together? If not, do they want to be in one? Do they have a crush, or any interest in finding romance? Have they ever been in a relationship? For both, what are their relationship hopes for the future?

💚 GREEN HEART: Tell us about your muses family. What is/was their relationship with their parents like? Do they have siblings? If so, are they close? Do they want to change their familial relationships in any way?

🖤 BLACK HEART: Has your muse ever had their heart broken, or broken someone else's heart? Either romantically, or platonically.

😍 HEART EYES: What is the one thing your muse wants the most in the world? Who knows about it? What lengths would they go to to get/achieve it?

🗑️ TRASH CAN: What is your muses greatest failure so far in their life? How did it affect them? Who knows about it? What, if anything, do they do to prevent repeating it? Have they been able to move past it, or do they linger on it?

🔮 CRYSTAL BALL: what does your muse want their future to look like? what are their hopes and dreams? do they talk about them openly, or not? are they taking steps to achieve the things they want? are they aware of all the things they want?

👻 GHOST: What things does your muse hide? Things they've done, do, or think. Why do they hide it? Does anyone know about it?

🌙 NIGHT: What keeps your muse up at night, if anything? Do they have nightmares? Things they worry about, or overthink? If they can't sleep, what do they do in those early morning hours? If nothing keeps them up, do they dream a lot, or have dreamless sleeps? Are they a heavy or light sleepers?

𝐀𝐔𝐍𝐓'𝐒 𝐀𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓, Seoul, SK Feb 10th (Seollal), 2024 w. 𝐓𝐘𝐒𝐎𝐍 𝐁𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐘

When Barbie was a child, they hadn't celebrated Seollal. Despite her mother being very proudly Korean, somehow she'd let go of a lot of Korean traditions upon moving to America. It wasn't until Barbie moved to Seoul that she'd experienced a proper Chuseok and Seollal, and she'd found little to complain about at first. She'd never been one to enjoy holidays, since it meant an awkward sit-down dinner with the family, wherein she had to answer questions about her life in Paris, and figure out how to answer the question 'But don't you miss your family?' with something other than 'Not really'. She hated the Christmas music they played in stores, and the only good part was the fairy lights strung up in the trees, and the seasonal snacks and coffees. Even now, thousands of miles away from the orignal source of her holiday-anguish, she finds herself invited to yet another awkward sit-down family dinner. This time, it's with her aunt and brother. She almost declines, prepared to mak up some excuse about being busy at work, but she can't help but feel guilty. She isn't entirely heartless, after all.

It's a Saturday night, and she'd spent a good few hours getting ready. She didn't need to, it wasn't like she couldn't put together a stunning outfit and makeup look in less than half an hour these days, but she'd decided to treat herself to a laidback pampering session. She was going to need it to get through the night. There wasn't anything particularly wrong with her aunt. In fact, she'd taken Barbie in when her ballet career had ended and she'd been directionless for a while. She hadn't coddled her, or smothered her, or pitied her, and Barbie was forever grateful for that. She hated feeling pitied. But Tyson... Well, he and Barbie were nothing alike, and while she didn't dislike him, she had to silently admit to herself that she was terrified of people finding out what her brother was like. It would ruin her image entirely.

But, she hadn't seen him in many months, and the last time they'd talked what when he'd sent her a birthday text message, and she'd sent back a rather brief message thanking him. In all honesty, she didn't like to think about her broken relatinship with him. It made something uncomfortable squirm in her belly. A feeling she most certainly didn't want to spend a prolonged amount of time studying. He looks older than when she last saw him, or perhaps she'd simply forgotten how much he'd grown, and changed in the past few years. It was hard to keep up when she saw him so little. "So... How's life?" She asks, cringing inwardly. While their aunt finishes up cooking and bringing dishes to the table, Barbie and Tyson set out plates and chopsticks, glasses and a jug of water, along with the bottle of wine Barbie had brought as a present for her aunt, though she'd insisted they all enjoy it together. Barbie didn't have to know Tyson well to guess that wine probably wasn't his drink of choice.

hi!! bear (he/him) again, and this here is barbie bailey, who has existed in my head for a long time now, but i've not had the opportunity to write yet, so i'm super excited to finally have her! she's 20 years old, and the maknae of hi/fi. she's the most girl boss girl ever (i've been told), very independent and no-nonsense, hard-working and ambitious. here are links to her profile, and bio, and under the cut i'll leave some tldr info about her. and, as always, please like this post if you'd like to plot!

born in annapolis, marlyand, usa to a very ordinary couple (a housewife, and some sort of lobbyist; she never really paid attention to what her dad did) the only daughter and younger of two children. she doesn't have a very close relationship with her family due to growing up away from them

at the age of 8 she left home to attend a ballet boarding school in paris. she found the school herself and begged to be allowed to audition. living apart from her parents so young didn't bother her, as she'd always been independent

she was always a very high-achiever both academically and in her ballet, but when she was 15 she suffered an ankle injury that meant she could no longer dance on pointe, leading to the end of her ballet career

feeling somewhat lost without her one and only dream, she decided against going home to annapolis, instead going to live with an aunt in seoul, seeking out a new adventure. her initial plan was to finish high school there, then pursue some form of entertainmen in university, but as luck would have it, she didn't have to wait that long, and after a successful audition for canvas labs, she became a trainee

cut to a few years later and she debuts as the maknae of hi/fi, and while it wasn't her initial dream (to be a kpop idol) she actually had a natural affinity for singing, and took to it really well as soon as she began her lessons as a trainee, and now takes her career very seriously

she wants to pursue modelling and solo music eventually, but right now is very content where she is, and works very hard to make sure her image stays squeaky clean, which means no one can ever find out that her brother's a furry

personality-wise, barbie's an incredibly independent, head-strong girl who really has very little interest in things that might jeopardise her career, which means she's never been in a relationship, though she doesn't care since most men she's met since moving to seoul have been terrible anyway

she loves fashion and puts a lot of effort into her appearance, but also isn't afraid of going out without makeup on—she's very confident in her appearance and abilities

she's a good friend, but also very honest. she won't sugarcoat things, and will tell you the absolute truth, whether you can handle it or not
