[ zethphan smith-gneist , cis man, twenty one, he/him ] did you see who just walked in ? it was that JUNIOR, the ╳ + FERVENT AND - DIFFIDENT ╳ one ? you know, the one who lives at OFF CAMPUS HOUSING, JOHAN ALESHIRE ! i heard they are majoring in MICROBIOLOGY and they can’t wait to get out of here to CONDUCT HIS OWN RESEARCH . crap ! stop staring, here they come !

i’m finally here with something a lil more in-depth ! i already introduced myself but for the sake of it , i’m kat (she/her) , i’m 22 and from the gmt tz ! i’m currently working on his theme so bear with me hehe . i’m going to kick things off before i ramble too much , but like this & i’ll im you ( or if you’d rather plot on discord , lmk ! )

› * 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐒 .

full name : johan otis aleshire . pronunciation : yo-han . nickname : none , though sometimes referred to as ‘aleshire’ by his teammates . gender : cis man ( he/him ) . orientation : bisexual . birthdate : sept 12th . age : twenty-one . zodiac : virgo ━━ hard-working , creative , reliable , patient , kind , timid , stubborn , overthinking , self-critical . personality : infj aka the advocate ━━ the rarest personality type of all . they have a deep sense of idealism and integrity , but are not idle dreamers . they take concrete steps to achieve their goals and make a lasting impact . they may be reserved , but they communicate in a way that is warm and sensitive . advocates strive to move past appearances and get to the heart of things . people with this personality type can sometimes become defensive in the face of criticism , especially when it comes to issues near to their hearts . they may find it difficult to open up and be vulnerable , often feeling they should solve their problems on their own . advocates can become fixated on imperfections , making them quite the perfectionist . this can lead to burnout likes : early morning runs just as the sun is rising , insects , mental stimulation , his own company , nights spent binge watching watching documentaries , acts of kindness . dislikes : being the center of attention , know-it-alls , affection from people he’s not close to , his inability to accept a compliment , busy spaces . faceclaim : zethphan smith-gneist . height : 6 ft 1 . tattoos : none . piercings : none . fashion : mostly understated as to not draw too much attention . oversized hoodies & sweatshirts in mostly neutral & dark tones . beanies pulled over tousled curls . glasses worn mostly in class .

› * 𝐅𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐋 .

parents : stefan & sabine aleshire .

his parents were childhood sweethearts who married young , after discovering sabine was pregnant with johan’s older sister . they’re happy enough , though they’ve never known anything different - hence both of them pursuing discrete flings outside of their marriage ( both without the others ‘ knowledge ) . johan’s connection with his parents is harmonious enough , yet somewhat distant . his parents have never been the type for praise or displays of affection ; perhaps explaining why johan finds it so uncomfortable to receive it from others now .

sister : lina aleshire .

being a six years older than johan , he and his sister have never been that close . their childhood mostly consister of lina bossing johan around , and johan following suit . his sister is incredibly smart , far exceeding anything johan has achieved so far , which sometimes makes him feel unworthy despite his own incredible work . as they’ve grown older , they’ve grown to see eye to eye much more . their friendship is slowly developing as they become to understand one another slightly better .

› * 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒 .

johan has always been fascinated with learning . he was the kid in school who always participated ; even though his cheeks flushed every time he raised his hand . his passion extends beyond academia , however , and his mind is packed with meaningless trivia and facts he’s picked up through reading or watching documentaries .

his escape is sport ; something nobody really saw coming . he loves running , swimming , but especially football . it’s something he likes to think he would pursue as a career in another lifetime .

he’s not the most confident of guys , and can come across slightly awkward . internally , he’s still that lanky 14 year old boy with glasses and braces , who hadn’t quite discovered who he was - in some ways , he still is trying to discover himself . he’s the type to come to a party to try and push himself , but will mostly only interact with people he knows . otherwise , he’s a bit of a wallflower .

he hasn’t come out as bisexual , per say he’s had a few kisses here and there but he’s never had a relationship , or gone all the way , so he hasn’t yet felt the need to tell his family . it’s not quite a secret though and he’s not ashamed , and i’m sure there probably are some people that he has told .

› * 𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐃 .

childhood best friend ━━ still close friends or could have grown apart over the years .

new best friend/s since coming to college

family friends

study buddy / someone as interested in academia & learning as he is

football teammates

unrequited crush ━━ f / m / nb ━━ somebody johan is transfixed by but they don’t really notice him , or maybe they just don’t a clue

ex ━━ f / nb ━━ i imagine him having had a lil relationship as a freshman , but for whatever reason it fizzled out . how they interact now can be discussed !

I was tagged by @writing-with-melon I hope my answers aren’t complete waste or if time and if so I’m sorry and I love you

Rules: Answer ten 10 questions, ask 10, and tag 10 people

1. What song automatically plays in your head when you look out the window on a long drive?

i dont really have an answer for this. i think i just automatically think about any song ive been listening to recently or any song that has been stuck in my head.

2. Do you have some snacks nearby when you write?

well i live in a two story house so the kitchen is downstairs and im usually lazy busy so since i have a mini fridge upstairs i just usually get water to drink while im writing. its kinda hard to eat and write cuz i loose focus really easily so when i am writing i am writing! i am in the zone! but if i am a little hungry ill usually snack on candy like chocolate kinder joys i love them but they r so expensive or snack on chips but i get like salt on my fingers or i like cheetos so cheetos dust and that just gets everywhere and later my hands and keyboard kinda smell like fart. 3. What do you do to combat creative burnout?

so burnout happens to me a lot so to get inspiration i either read other stories or fanfics which gets my head gears turning or i admire a piece of art or photography or a song. whats so unique and satisfying with writing you can explore and go anywhere with it, hehehe erotic if you know what i mean lol jk there are no barriers with writing just your imagination. there is inspiration any where you go and id advise to never stop writing. even if its a few short sentences or paragraphs about anything even bird poop its still progression and your mind is working and your searching for words like its all good for you bby. 4. Do you use (or like to use) prompts?

i do ill put the link here. im thinking of changing it though to do something different.

5. What is your favorite place to write?

lol boring, i know but my room. my room is really bright in the mornings and comfortable and chill and i have a candle of the pandora ride in disney that smells like the ride so its all good and relaxing and super peaceful plus i have a picture of myself the age of like 9 on my desk idk why but it encourages me and makes me focus to make sure i never get that cringy again.

6. What is a hobby or yous that you usually don’t talk about?

well i like working out HAHAHAHAHA jk that was a joke...get it...cuz i much rather be eatingokillstop. but i really like to draw which i have a art page you can see it if you click here pls look at my failed attempts to be hip and cool with the cool kids and being artsy fartsy. another hobby is i really like to do makeup and nail art, nail art is really tough guys no joke if you do it like you got wizard powers are something. maybe its bc my nails are shorter than pete davidson and ariana grande’s relationship, alright im trying to stop i swear!

7. Do you play an instrument? Which one?

no i wish though. i always wanted to learn to either play the piano or electric guitar cuz H.E.R looks so cool doing it.

8. How do you feel about your handwriting?

it sucks dont even try me. my sister can barely read it like no wonder nobody wants to steal my signature heck they can’t even read it!

9. Can you tell us of a story that marked your development as a person? As a writer?

ok sit back guys, sniff a nice amount of crack and get ready for the most cringy moment of my life but also a time when i knew i was meant to be *inhale* a fanfic writer.

so it was elementary school, i think 3rd grade and for my writing assignment we were given a prompt of idk what the heck tbh i think it was like be outside the box and im like ok imma nail this cuz im a weird child and yeah so i got my papers and pencil and i went TO TOWN on this paper. so i wrote two stories. one short story with a picture to go with it and one long story that yeah i buried years ago. so my first story was about a farmer was about that farming life. he had chickens and dairy. so i cant remember if the cheese was spoiled but doesnt matter. anywho these cheese and a chicken were alive like they could talk in the story and i gave them faces, yikes. but the whole story was the farmer was a b*tch and he was trying to eat the chicken and cheese so they hatched a plan to get away from the farmer. they did it successfully and they ran away. yay happy ending my teacher actually liked that one me too and my school mates were thinking what they heck is this girl on i made a story about how me and justin bieber made cookies for Christmas you know. so then my other story i was more proud of this one cuz it was a tone of paper, sorry trees, and this story was about how a female hippo (girl i was all about plus size and thicker girls and no body shaming) and an male ostrich were kidnapped from their own habitats and taken to become circus animals. failed version of Madagascar hey mine was before the circus movie OK THEY STOLE IT FROM MEEEEE. so they get taken and are treated to harsh punishment and the animals can talk and i think its in the point of view of the male ostrich guy thing. they are in the circus and they start to have this relationship happening. love starts blossoming its all good. im happy with this cuz i believed in love at age of 8. they find a way thru a kick butt scene of the animals escaping and the hippo and ostrich are so in love that they run away together and they have half hippo half ostrich babies and i think i named the species hipstrich or like ostppo idk but i was so proud of this story and when my teacher read it she was worried about me lol i think she thought i might like mate these two animals like secretly idk but she was like it was ok and i was like what this is frickin William Shakespeare writing or like F. Scott Fitzgerald writing. nevertheless it taught me a lesson that nobody else needs to like what im writing the main point and only thing that matters is if your proud of it and you like it and i really did. i will remember that story forever and thats what made me want to be a writer. lol sorry that was a lot.

10. @emdop I’m going to use this great question: Explain one of your WIPs in the most ridiculous way possible.

i was tagged by @writing-with-melon again ty btw, ps i felt so much pressure lol jk 😊

Rules: Answer 5 questions, Ask 5 questions, Tag 5 people.

1. What is your favorite book?

fifty shades of grey hahaha naw my favorite book is obv you all know this is series of unfortunate events but i never usually cry period and i never cry for books ever so when i read mrs. tom thumb by melanie benjamin, its the part when her sister minnie dies i cried so hard idk it was just emotional the wording the way she described her pain it was so beautiful written yet so sad and that was just amazing to me cuz im like this book made me feel things and im like wow i would love to write a book one day and make someone feel something whether it be sadness anger happiness annoyance anything they are having an emotion and that is super powerful to do that with just words. pls go check out that book its a good read. also im a fan of the greatest showman so i really enjoyed it. there are many other books tho that i thoroughly enjoy so much.

2. What piece that you’ve written are you most proud of?

oh my god ive always wanted to be asked this question hands down i am always proud of my platonic gender neutral tony stark fic called in·con·sol·a·ble window to me i wrote it so sad and i was feeling like depressed lol when i saw peter die in infinity war like i didnt know what to do with my life tbh but im so glad that @impetrichorny requested it tysm i just like how its not based on romance or fluff or happiness it is based on when you lose someone the nightmares and sadness you go through and that there is nothing nobody can do about it except just be there for that person so i really like writing angst and something that was out of the box. ive been thinking tho of doing a part two since the fate of all the characters has changed after endgame. who knows tho.

3. What is the last song that inspired you?

well for art it would have to good news by mac miller when i did that kobe bryant memorial on my art page. i dont want to give it away though but ill just say some very powerful womens music inspired my oc writing and making.

4. How do you feel about letting people read what you write?

at first i was scared cuz i thought i wrote like trash which that feeling kinda doesnt go away like some days i feel that way others i feel confident or it depends on the request it just depends but anyways i was always insecure about my writing so when i started writing it was more like lets see how this goes if not ill delete the whole page. im glad to say it went great but in the begging it was hard cuz i kept putting myself down but i learned to accept or just understand that you keep learning with writing you always learn knew things with writing how you can explain something better or you words get more intricate and people see the improvement and you do too thats why i applaud those who dont speak english that english isnt their first language. you are doing a tremendous job and keep practicing cuz you’re gonna make it to the top. ive also learned that some days are not my days and you can take time off when youre not feeling it when you have writers block. just recollect your juices sip some tea go to the beach relax your mind a little and take as long as you need to come back and give it your all. also comments and reblogs and likes a follows those meant so much to me and encouraged me. thats why i cant express it enough how much all those mean to writers, artist, photographers, anybody who is truly trying their hard in this area of social media. its makes a person happy smile and confident in their writing but first train your mind into loving what you make not what others thing. you have to be happy with the outcome that is what truly matters and what makes your writing the best. look at me getting philosophical.

5. Do you get distracted easily? If yes with what?

yes and with porn haha i get distracted easily like very easily homeschooling was really tough for me. music distracts me, netflix, the urge to watch david dobrik or unus annus or buzzfeed unsolved on youtube, heck my farts distract me. i gotta be like troy bolton i gotta get my HEAD IN THE GAME!

How do you explain rpto someone in the real world?

Most people I’m friends with are online and very aware of whatRP is. In fact, most of them are current (or former) RP partners.

However, for people who don’t know what it is or don’t getit, I tend to say that I am “working on collaborative writing projects.” Whenthey ask who I’m doing it with, I tell them my partners are “a combination of close friends andaspiring authors who like the content I create.”

Every thread is “a writingexercise, either self-assigned or assigned by someone else in the community.”

Do you preferinteracting with male muses or female more? Why?

I don’t have apreference for one particular sex or gender identity over any other. A well crafted muse is a well crafted muse, period.

A lot of my preferences depend more on the writer and proposed plotsthan the actual character. You could have the most intriguing, amazing, andbrilliant muse in the world…and make them as spicy and interesting as unseasonedchicken if you don’t know what you’re doing. Conversely, you can make acharacter with the personality of wet cardboard the hottest commodity in thecommunity if you DO know what you’re doing. If you want me to dish some dirt onthis, ping me on IM. I’ll give a few examples (good and bad) without droppinguser names.

I’m currently not actively roleplaying, mostly because Iwant to finish my Pokémon Hammer &Sickle series as a gift to myself and hone my skills. That said, some of mybeta readers miss RPing with me so I’ve added a caveat:

Readers and reviewers for active passion projects can request RPs with me on the IM.

They’reencouraging my passion project (something the Naruto community failed to do forthe Vines series, and this was the biggest cause for my creative burnout), so I want to reward good behavior. Even when I get back into RPing, these types of mutuals will ALWAYS get preferential treatment.

One of my beta readers has an amazing Lusamine muse, butalso has a strong grasp on Lillie and Gladion. Another has a Malva muse whooften gets me to laugh or make my skin crawl, but also has an Alainmuse I’m just starting to get to know. Both of these people have had a chanceto see what my Lysandre is like probably well over a year before anyone elsewill.

Do you prefer writingmale muses or female more? Why?

I tend to write morecanon males and more OC females. I think the reason for this is that mostof the media I consume (unfortunately) doesn’t spend as much time developingits female characters as it does for its male characters. There’s more diversity among themen and I’m more likely to find my favorite “type” of canon character among themen.

Most of my female OCs aren’t what you typically see in mostmediums, particularly anime. Let me list a few examples:

Kazusa (Naruto) wasa frizzy-haired, cat hoarding beefcake who kept piling on the pounds after she hada son. Her best friend (Naho) looked a bit more like a traditionally prettyolder lady on the surface, but tended to wear cheongsams to hide the fact thateverything from her ribs to her chin had been badly incinerated. Naho had a gravelly, hoarse voice, smoked menthols to “smooth her pipes,” and couldn’teven raise her voice anymore without everything turning into loose air. Bothwere over the age of 40, mothers, and in arranged marriages.

Alexandra CatherineBellamy (Batman Beyond) was the former head of PR for Daggett Industriesbut wormed her way into the CEO seat after marrying and divorcing the heirapparent to the Daggett family fortune. She was a voluptuous, curvy woman witha reputation as a professional bus-thrower. This woman even convinced an oldcollege friend to test a new drug on a corporate rival so he’d show dementia-likesymptoms in public and be pressured by his board of directors to retire. It almost worked.

Lulu (Pokémon) isa recurring support character for the two main protagonists in the Hammer & Sickle series. ThisMauville City native is a short, skinny, awkward-looking girl with long limpbrown hair, puffy lips, thick glasses, and a fondness for oversized yellowflannel shirts. Although she and her Abra never battle, she regularly criticizesother trainers for not best utilizing their Pokémon’s EVs and makes pages-long “masterplans” for gym battles. Lulu is an auditor for the International Pokémon Leagueand makes a living making sure regional league members adhere to the enforced standards.Not only is this girl a total hag, but she’s also a smarmy know-it-all and thesort of person you’d just love to punch in real life. I love her, though! Thepart where she warns Cynthia and her friends they do NOT want to visit a nudebeach was one of the latest arc’s highlights.

If any of these women had been canon; the fact that theyaren’t conventionally attractive, somebody’s love interest, and are far fromthe cute, sweet, and pleasant girls we tend to expect from our ladycharacters…I bet you anything they’d all be cast as villains. And yet only half of the women I listed are people I’didentify as bad. Lulu’s one of the good guys, Kazusa is a loving mother, and Naho’s more a byproduct of a bad upbringing than anything truly malicious. And even with Alex (who definitely is a villain), she’s still a good stepmother and is surprisingly loyal to friends who don’t work for her.

If the provided canon female roles were as dynamic and diverse as the male roles, I’d pick up more female canons. But we aren’t there yet, so I’lljust continue to predominantly select canon males and make the female world abit more diverse.
