“Oh come ON, you must let me save you a seat this year! Surely you can get away for a few days. You don’t even have to come for the WHOLE week, just for my show. Have you every been to Paris? It really is lovely.”
❛ i don’t know if i can afford to time-wise . and besides , i’m going to look out of place amongst designers and - you know - the fashion-savvy . i bet that your colleagues are going to be horrified when they find out sherlock holmes hangs out with a guy that never spent more than five minutes shopping for shirts . ❜
❛ every star is another story, every night a different sky. ❜
imagine that ! this prodigious , indefinite universe a book ! a series containing thousands of stories of each and every one of them where no chapters are the same . the stories of struggle and love , war and peace , birth , death and rebirth again . and to be living here , part of their story ! smile streaks ear to ear , displaying pearly whites , withal the figure remains frozen in time . ❛ imagine that … isn’t that beautiful ? ❜

“ you legal types are always such smarty pants. “ but she says it fondly , reaching over to pilfer his pen. “ but you won’t help me get out of my speeding tickets. so smart . . but so mean to me. “
the act is met with a soft tut ( the interjection rolls off his tongue as the other hand whisks away the pen ) ; no , no , the pen shall stay as she shall . when all seem settled , the man resumes : head deep atween the piles of documents & law dictionaries . ❛ i didn’t spend seven years studying my life away to get you out of speeding tickets . attend your hearing ; it’s probable that the officer won’t be present , which means you’re automatically out of the ticket. ❜
i made a post a few days ago about korean names so here it is. i won’t be going through all the last names as there are 286 registered family names in korea so i will be mainly focusing on how clans work and what names mean.
i am not korean (or asian) so i won’t make my own opinion post about it but this conversation has been brought up recently and it’s something that’s never really crossed my mind, and i think it needs to be addressed, but it seems like the krpc (and rpc in general) is sleeping on it…… it regards the romanticization of korean culture and the fetishizing of koreans (and east asians).
@ginzys has discussed it here and @deleteitrp has discussed it here, here, here, and here. i strongly suggest everyone that joins/creates krps & everyone that chooses to only play kpop fcs give these posts a read and evaluate your actions, ESPECIALLY if you are non poc, thanks.
❛ if the monster always dies at the end of the book, why am i still alive? ❜ (lol)
his hands wrap around hers , head sinking in as he pulls her knuckles closer for a soft peck . let silence consume them ; let her know she won’t dwell on suffering alone . ❛ must be a sign that you are not a monster , barbie ! you know what ? apart from , well , dracula ( and for the right reason !! he was a right cock ) , most monsters get to live –– i think they get happy endings of their own : living in solitude , no judgement , no one to interfere . ❜ ––– the life they’ve dreamt of ; perhaps they’re all monsters .

HISTORY
I.
II.
III.
chapter i / early life
↳ a. (1950) KOREA.
His parents met during the Korean War where they were both refugees from the city of Hungnam, now currently in North Korea. They would always tell him the story of the US soldier that gave them a candy as a Christmas gift during the time of great despair. They often spoke about the little act of kindness and the gentle whisper of the story lulled the boy to sleep, where he would meet the heroes in his dream.
↳ b. (1981-1998) KOREATOWN, LA.
He is born three months later, on 9 November 1981, after the family’s immigration to the United States. It’s a Monday, Hall & Oates’ Private Eyes is playing on the radio, and the Beom family welcomes their youngest child to the world. He is named after Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird ( that his mother has been reading to learn English ) in hopes that the boy would, too, grow up like the attorney –– intelligent, kind, and moral.
He spends the majority of his childhood with his nose stuck in books. His parents would apologise for their absence due to late night shifts, but he doesn’t mind as long as he has his books. It isn’t until seventh grade that he gets his hand on To Kill a Mockingbird ( half furious at the ending ) – and by god he will change the world.
chapter ii / university
↳ a. (1998-2002) PHILADELPHIA, PA.
He receives a full scholarship to University of Pennsylvania in order to study History. His day mostly consists of listening to the news and brooding in anger from the injustice in the world like most other college students. No matter his workload, he never forgets to call his parents every night either ; there are only three times where he does forget –– but not on purpose: 1. the night of the first civil rights protest he attends where he is knocked in the head from police brutality. He wakes up the next day at a hospital ( the clinking of metal equipments , hush-hush of nurses and guardian ) ; 2. the morning of his arrest by the police for organising a student rally which he is released the very next day due to lack of evidence ; 3. the last day of his undergrad and, of course, he gets punched in the face.
↳ b. (2002-2005) CAMBRIDGE, MA.
In his last year, he decides he wants to be a lawyer. With decent GPA and LSAT, getting into law school isn’t a hassle –– the interview is. He’s viewed as a charity case to most of the interviewers, only interested in grabbing him to fill up their multicultural quota. He doesn’t complain at their treatment, but he remembers their names. Three years pass like a breeze, he feels ready.
chapter iii / human rights lawyer
↳ a. (2005-2018) NEW YORK CITY, NY.
After becoming a lawyer, he partners with Basil Young, a young man who shares similar beliefs as Atticus. Along with Young, he takes cases involving human rights and civil rights issues defending labor rights activists, students persecuted for protests, immigrants wrongfully detained at airports, and giving free advice to those in need.
↳ b. (2018) NEW YORK CITY, NY.
Could it be the stress from the fast-paced life style he had put on himself? Especially after the death of Young, his trusted friend, he begins to experience visions... not quite of himself; sometimes he's donning an old-fashioned suit finished with huge lapels, and a paisley tie ... or sometimes he's in a traditional hanbok, surrounded by bureaucrats in red and navy as his father sits on the throne. at first he dismisses them as part of his unexpected and surprisingly active imaginations -- but as he experiences the dream more frequently, the more he becomes engulfed with the characters as if he's lived the lives before...
↳ (ATTICUS : man of attica // a man of stylish taste, sound intellect and financial acumen ; finch // a wise, learned and humane man with articulation and respect for the law ; latin // classic or elegant ) ↳ (BENJAMIN : franklin // an american statesman, inventor, scientist, and philosopher ; family // the youngest son - especially when he is much younger than his brothers ; son // of the south, of the right hand, of sorrow )
KOREAN NAME 범건율 (Beom Geon-Yul)
↳ ( 범건율 // 范建律 : 建 ––to rise/build/find , 律 –– law ; to rise harmoniously, beautifully and equitably )

PERSONALITY.
The crusading attorney, he will return time and time again : always an air of tranquility around him / a man of passion, yet a ghost in social situations / his silence speaks louder than their words / eyes of an observer, trained to see through facades / outer shell rarely irate, fury brews inside / emotions seeps through, unknowingly, eventually / a labelled perfectionist - the introverted, stubborn, empathetic lawyer
INFJ / The Advocate :
INFJs are gentle, caring, complex and highly intuitive individuals. Artistic and creative, they live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities. They place great importance on having things orderly and systematic in their outer world an put a lot of energy into identifying the best system for getting things done, and constantly define and re-define the priorities in their lives. They know things intuitively, without being able to pinpoint why, and without detailed knowledge of the subject at hand. they are usually right, and they usually know it. Consequently, INFJs put a tremendous amount of faith into their instincts and intuitions.

DRESS CODE
Worn out suits that weathered countless years of service from his time as a frugal law student to a lawyer of people - the unsaturated colours tell his story, combined with faded brown oxfords with permanent crease.
