Oh my giddy, giddy, giddy... aunt!

I'm JJ. With regard to mathematic aptitude I'm in the top 0.3% of the population which is an interesting demographic statistic because paradoxically my communication, interpersonal, and intuitive skills are towards the lower quartiles. I'm the vice president of Fitch Enterprises. I'm married to the amazing Maxxie Oliver and I have three wonderful kids. <3

5.) What’s your character’s ranking on the Kinsey Scale? 

3 - equally heterosexual and homosexual.

As I had previously ranted on Adam's answer to this question (my lovely Naomily eldest son, go check him and my other babies out!), I don't like this scale for my babies who don't fit in the holy trinity of straight-bi-gay. I've been playing JJ for a good long while now. I first started him off as bi, but that never felt right to me. Since discovering my own demisexuality, I feel it fits this JJ (and maybe all my version of JJ) best. But if I go into the long journey I took and my headcanons and all the other bits and bobs floating around in my head, we'd be here all day. But if you are curious about what demisexuality is, care to pick my brain on why I read JJ as demi, or have any old question you want answered, send me an ask. Though don't say I didn't warn you if the answer ends up becoming a research paper. I have too many feels.

So tonight my house mates dressed me up as a robot for no particular reason. Such a great night I thought you guys would appreciate it haha

[themagicman-blog]

OOC: What manner of magical entities are you and your housemates? Maybe it's just because you're British, idk. XD

[hotpantsalex-blog]

Lonely and petulant with no more exams and nothing to keep Emzy busy

[themagicman-blog]

OOC: Sorry Ems. I have to work around my big senior project. If I fail, that delays my graduation. I won't be free like I used to be til after I see Leah the week of July 4th.

4.) How vain is your character? Do they find themselves attractive?

Though he isn't the awkward teenager with the frizzy hair and braces anymore, JJ still has a hard time considering himself attractive. He has realized that he got two attractive people to fall for him, let alone have constant sex with him (Lara in the past, Maxxie now.) How he managed that, he's still trying to figure that one out.

3.) Name one scar your character has, and tell us where it came from. If they don’t have any, is there a reason?

JJ has a scar under his chin. It happened when he first tried riding a bike without training wheels. He lost control and crashed into a fence, scraping his chin on the way down. Of course, Celia was so frantic that she never let JJ try that again. To this day, he still doesn't know how to ride a bike.

Oof! *strained* I'm glad you love your gift, Gare, but I'm not as young as I used to be. Go easy on the glomping.

That's what friends are for - @Jeffily

[emzy-fitch-blog]

Emily didn't want to be here, she loved Effy and JJ unconditionally but she wanted to be alone and not forced to deal with things. Eff wanted to talk feelings and business, two things that Emily wasn't sure she could handle at this moment in time. The thought of the business just made her think of the men she had lost, good, hard working guys, she knew them all, knew about their families and in total, 9 men had lost their lives in what was supposed to be a simple security job. Yknow, late nights, early mornings but no actual dangers. She thought of the funerals she would have to attend, she would want to be there but no doubt angry relatives would give her a piece of their minds.

Sitting herself in the kitchen with the others she gazed blankly at the table until someone cleared their throat, now was not the time to fall apart, Effy was right, the team needed their fearless leader - as effy put it.

"JJ, note this, I need a meeting with government, secretary of business, clearly we need to be higher up the risk list than we are. I want meetings with our suppliers and with potential medical company's we can work with. I'll be drafting a press release that I'll need you to check. Effy you need to calculate a form of compensation for the fallen guys, I want their families take care of." Emily had flown into all business mode, she had probably stunned effy and JJ but this was miles better than dealing with the emotional issues.

[themagicman-blog]

JJ had spaced out until the sound of the front door opening breaks him out of his mental fog. Maxxie comes over to him, looking completely knackered. I’ve got to work again tonight, so I’m going to get some sleep, but Effy and Emily are here for you. Wake me up if you need anything.  JJ returns his husband's kiss. "Ok. Sleep well, love." His girls are right behind Maxxie. Effy makes a beeline for him, giving JJ a hug. JJ returns it gratefully.

Emily and Effy have become some of his most cherished friends next to his Musketeers. Had any of them imagined their inevitable future in nearly three decades, they probably would have died laughing. The quiet, doe-eyed Fitch twin taking over her father's business? The geeky, autistic mental basket being her second-in-command? Effy "Fit and Mysterious" Stonem having a head for finances? The three of them becoming best mates, let alone the driving force behind one of the biggest companies in England? Seeing who they were at 16/17 years old, of course it all seems ludicrous, but JJ wouldn't have it any other way.

JJ expects Emily to come over for a hug, but she sits down at the table with a glazed look in her eyes. This would be more of a job for Naomi, but it seems whatever Emily had seen had shaken her to her core. After a long period of awkward silence, JJ gently clears his throat.

That seems to wake Emily up. But the zombie that had taken over Emily's body melts away, leaving their boss in its place. JJ is a little thrown, but he doesn't want Emily to yell at him. He quickly scrambles for a pen and paper, jotting down Emily's ideas and tasks for them. He isn't sure this is what Effy had in mind, but like he's going to be the idiot that incurs the wrath of Emily Fitch-Campbell.

2.) What are your characters most prominent physical features?

JJ's notable features that remain today (since he's long since gotten rid of the braces) are his curly mop of hair and his almond shaped, blue-grey eyes. These features still give JJ the endearing look of innocence that people seem to adore about him.

[themagicman-blog]

Aww. This was taken, I think, when Gare was maybe 12?

OOC

My academic adviser scheduled a last minute video session today. (Think of it like an academic version of Skype. I'm finishing my Bachelor's degree online and should graduate in July, w00t!) I also need to do some homework for my big senior project, so I might not really be on today. And if I am, far past Emsy's bedtime. Since I do have my JJ stuff done, I'll post those. Just don't expect responses.

The Beatles - Birthday

Birthday emerged from a jam session in Abbey Road’s studio two, Paul McCartney stated that it was a joint effort with John Lennon. However, Lennon said that the song had been written in India, which were denied by others.

"We thought, ‘Why not make something up?’ So we got a riff going and arranged it around this riff. We said, ‘We’ll go to there for a few bars, then we’ll do this for a few bars.’ We added some lyrics, then we got the friends who were there to join in on the chorus. So that is 50-50 John and me, made up on the spot and recorded all on the same evening. I don’t recall it being anybody’s birthday in particular but it might have been, but the other reason for doing it is that, if you have a song that refers to Christmas or a birthday, it adds to the life of the song, if it’s a good song, because people will pull it out on birthday shows, so I think there was a little bit of that at the back of our minds." - Paul McCartney

"Birthday was written in the studio. Just made up on the spot. I think Paul wanted to write a song like Happy Birthday Baby, the old Fifties hit. But it was sort of made up in the studio. It was a piece of garbage." - John Lennon

Yoko Ono and Pattie Boyd provided backing vocals, and together with Mal Evans, the Beatles’ assistant, recorded handclaps.

It's a little tradition in this family to play this on birthdays. =D

A Daddy-Daughter Heart-To-Heart - @Melody

[the-frozen--heart]

Melody had never meant to burst and tell her father absolutely everything, but it was getting to be way to much for her tender little heart. She knew what she wanted to do with her life, in fact she’d known since the day she walked into her physics class the first time that semester. Melody is sitting on the couch, chewing on her bottom lip as she flipped through her Sailor Moon manga, hoping it would calm her down. She watches as Daddy sits down next to her and hands her a glass of mango juice, she takes a small drink of it and sighed. “I want to be a physicist.” 

[themagicman-blog]

I want to be a physicist. Those words make JJ want to do bloody cartwheels in the living room, but he'll have to refrain. Clearly this admission is bothering Melody. "And you're worried how your father will take it?" JJ knows Maxxie has turned a blind eye to their children's true passions in favor of them following in his footsteps. It's the exact same thing with Garrett and his writing, just everyone but Maxxie knows that's what he wants to do with his life. Whereas hearing Melody expressing a love for physics is a bit of a curve ball. JJ knows that Melody loved science as a kid, he just figured that she loved performing more.

A Daddy-Daughter Heart-To-Heart - @Melody

JJ inadvertently stumbled upon the roots of Melody's cutting relapse the second he asked her what's wrong. Clearly a lot is on her plate, and he genuinely had no idea. Some father he is. But he's going to make this a proper sit-down, so he tells Melody to wait on the living room couch while he goes into the kitchen. He grabs the mango juice from the fridge, pouring two tall glasses of it. He puts the carton back in the fridge, and carries the glasses back to the living room. He sits down beside Melody, handing her a glass. "Ok. Go on."

Me and Valerie broke up, someone who I was really good friends with died, and dad won’t fucking get off my back about NYU…. he doesn’t get it, I don’t want to fucking be him! I don’t want to go to university in New York City, and I don’t want to be on Broadway!

[themagicman-blog]

Oh...well that's quite a bit on your plate there. Tell you what, why don't I pour us some mango juice and we can have another heart-to-heart?

Text Message || MaxJ

JJ: Shit, really? God, what do you think we should do?

Maxxie: I don't know, we can't take her back to her therapist, you know it won't help, plus we had to drag her kicking and screaming last time just to speak to him for an hour.

JJ: Maybe we can talk to her? Or better yet, push Garrett her way and see what she tells him?
