Please please please share your thoughts on the love of my life, the young white trash motherfucker named Benjamin Miller
MY BABY MY BOO BENJAMIN WHITE TRASH MILLERRRR. Pls message me more more more about this man i love him so goddamn much!! This is literally just a giant un-organized brain ramble so I apologize about that but if there is anything you want me to expand on I would literally smooch you for it!!
Tumblr media
Fuckin’ GAMER. Has always loved playing video games and always will. Would come into Will’s room as a little ten year old and go “MOM SAID YOU HAVE TO LET ME PLAY WITH YOU THIS TIME OR ELSE” 
Would play his game boy in church, this got him in trouble a lot as a kid. 
Had a metric shit ton of energy as a kid.
Did stupid shit all the time cause he got bored a lot and there really isn’t much to do in small towns so he’d call up his friends and then thirty minutes later he’s in a shopping cart tied to the back of his dad’s pick-up truck thats going 80 down a busy intersection while his friends are cheering him on. 
My god did this idiot break bones as a kid. Mother fucker was the “i can make that jump/i can climb that” child. 
Undiagnosed adhd child because his father was like “ah he's fine, all boys have energy at his age.” but then it turns to Benny staring blankly at his math homework until 9 p.m. when papa miller has to sit him down at the dinner table with a stern “you aren’t getting up from this goddamn table until you finish your long division, benjamin.” 
it ‘s 11:30 when they finally let him go to sleep.
Now don’t get me wrong, Benjamin miller? Smart as a whip. 
Not really the ‘goofy dumbass himbo’ we all joke about him being, hes actually incredibly smart and intuitive.
I see him as more of a hands-on learner, something tactile and right in front of him. 
Definitely takes shop class, always building shit. Leaves covered in sawdust and still has that faint imprint of the goggles around his face. But my god does he have a talent for it.
Absolutely positively gets in fights
Quite often. 
Benny is a tornado of poorly repressed emotions, blossoming sexuality, and learned southern masculinity. 
Poor Ben does NOT deal with his emotions well. He was raised in a house with a “what’s wrong honey.” mother and a “boys don't cry” father so he is a whirlwind of confusion and anger all the time and needs an outlet. 
Combining this with always living in his brother's shadow? Oh boy. 
He loves Will, of course. He wants to be just like him, his cool older brother who always does what’s right and is the apple of his parent’s eyes. 
Before ben graduated and joined the army, he was the one who would take him out after their dad yelled at him for getting in trouble. 
Wouldn’t say anything serious, he would just lean against Ben’s doorway and softly ask “you wanna go grab a bite?”
And then watch his little brother wipe his tears on the sleeve of his hoodie before they went to a local burger joint. Eating in a tense silence before finally, Will spoke. 
“Dad’s an asshole. But you can’t be doing this stupid shit all the time, Ben.”
But it’s hard. To be the sibling who comes after the golden child. 
Every year the first day of school was just a blur of “Benjamin Miller? You william’s little brother?” 
And he can’t even talk to Will about these issues, because he’s serving overseas right now. 
He’s struggling to figure out who he is because he can’t exist without being compared to him, and he has no outlet that he can channel all his anger and frustration into. 
So yeah, Benny got in fights a lot, but in his eyes they were always justified. 
He never threw a punch to somebody who he thought didn’t deserve it. 
If somebody was being a bully or a little shit and didn’t stop when he told them too, yes, he was known to tackle them to the ground and punch them until teachers were pulling him off and sending him to the office. Again. 
Which then led to the weekly beratement by his father and looks of tearful disappointment by his mother. 
He tried out for the football team and actually did amazing, but of course the coach made a comment about wanting ‘another Miller on the team to bring home those trophies’ and it left a sour taste in his mouth so he never mentioned try-outs to his parents at dinner that night. 
Is a good guy, but had some shitty friends. So depending on who you are, you may think he’s a piece of shit by association. 
He was hot and athletic so he def ran in some popular circles so not everybody had a high opinion of him, until you got to know him personally and had the “oh you're actually not a total cunt.” moment. 
The type of guy you’d talk to one on one in class and get butterflies but then see some of his friends and go “Ah, that’s why I never talk to you.”
Fell asleep in class a lot, but still passed with flying colors. 
Please think about senior!Benny snoozing in class in the chair behind you with his hood pulled up over his face and his arms crossed and you nudge him awake just as the teacher turns around so he doesn’t get in trouble and he gives you that sleepy lil smile before then going back to sleep. 
Dated a LOT. Highschool is one of those micro communities where you date nobody or somebody new each week. Usually the girl’s approach him first. Not because he doesn’t find them attractive, he just doesn’t realize when somebody is into him. 
confident little shit though. When he realized a girl has a crush on him? mega flirt over here, leaning on her locker and everything. 
“You gonna let me take you out tonight?” what a fucking LOSER lmao. 
Bi baby having some concerning thoughts about his friends or maybe a hot tour guide he saw on a college tour and now he’s up every night wondering if he’s gay?? But he also likes girls??? Is he faking?? What the fuck?? Gets in his head to the point the next time he’s getting hot and heavy with a girl in the dark corner seat of the movie theatre all he can think about is “am I gay??” 
Once more-southern masculinity so he bottles that shit downnn.
Definitely would skip class and drive to either Hardy’s or just go fuck off in the woods for an hour or two before returning for his last class. 
Will feed random ass animals and try to bring them home. 
This is a habit he hasn’t grown out of. As a grown man if he sees a stray while driving you bet your ass he’s pulling over. 
Did stupid shit. Drinking, smoking, going to parties and then hauling ASS because somebody called the cops. 
He was by no means the perfect child. 
I will say this and I will not take any critiques on it. Probably lost his virginity in either his dad’s truck or the woods. I think the woods is more realistic and it just makes s e n s e.
i definitely have feelings on him being into the outcast girl who his friends think is “weird” but he thinks you're so cool and you work part time at the local diner where he also happens to always visit on the weekend because they have amazing milkshakes but also he hopes he gets you as his waitress because you sit in the back of class so he never gets to talk to you in school :(

Can you tell me your background on learning Korean?
Buckle up guys, gals, and non-binary pals (thank you Thomas Sanders for that), because we're in for a long ride hahaOn August 2nd of 2013, I was scrolling through YouTube trying to find something to watch. I had watched SNSD's The Boys (English version) mv a while prior to this and so occasionally k-pop mvs would show up in my recommended videos section. On this particular day, I spotted a video called FANTASTIC BABY and was intrigued.From the moment the song started playing, I was entranced. I had listened to it a few more times when a thought came to me. I needed to know what the lyrics meant but I didn't want to just look up translations. So I decided: I was going to learn Korean.I made Hangul flashcards later that day and then proceeded to annoy my friends by asking them to quiz me every day during study hall. I would watch shows like Weekly Idol and practice reading the text animations. I listened to Korean music as much as I could, hoping it would help as well.For around a year, maybe a little bit longer I floundered around a bit. I wasn't really finding any Korean friends that wanted to help me practice Korean, usually they just wanted to speak English. I could do basic conjugations, had a basic vocabulary, and had no idea what to do. Then in late 2014 I ended up meeting two fellow Korean learners/speakers online. Having them changed everything. Finally I had someone to practice with, who could correct my mistakes instead of just saying "aww it's fine, don't worry, your mistakes are cute". In August of 2015, I attended Korean camp for two weeks (I cried in the car right before we arrived because I was so happy to be at a place where I could use and study Korean without being mocked for once). Even though my speaking was awful since I hadn't really ever spoken in Korean up until that point (0/10 y'all, make sure you speak), due to all the studying and practice I had done with my friends, I managed to get into the top class. We would do interviews during the day and present the results every night, and for the talent show, we wrote and memorized an entire news broadcast in Korean. I was the anchor, and I remember thinking "I can actually do this, holy shit this feels amazing".I continued to study a little bit over the next 10 months (and started dating my ex who didn't really help me with Korean much tbh asshole). Then in June 2016, I did the credit program and stayed at the Korean camp for an entire month. I learnt a metric fuck ton (no lie) and we had a test or exam every week, along with lots of homework, tasks we had to complete (like doing weekly news broadcasts, working in the camp store, etc.), plus the huge final project that we had to present in front of the entire camp. My speaking ability and pronunciation improved 200%, I got to help teach and explain stuff to my cabin mates, it was amazing.A few weeks after camp ended, I moved to Seoul to attend SNU's language school. I have class for 20 hours a week, and homework rotates every day between grammar practice and an essay. Due to some of the things my ex said when dumping me (in a text smh), my confidence in my Korean ability dropped and I lost motivation for a bit. I managed to still do decently well during my second session but then due to being sick from sinusitis and being so down, I decided to take a two month break and pushed my enrollment back until June. I didn't really practice Korean at all from mid-March to early June, and that helped me so much. By the time my break was over, I was feeling much better and I was ready to go back and learn more Korean. I even got a perfect on my mid-term speaking exam, and have grown so much more confident in my speaking ability these past two months.Four weeks from today I start college classes so I'll be continuing my studies there as well. So yep, that's my background of learning Korean. Sorry it was so long anon haha😅😅
