HE, a child who once was pure ,a child who meant no bad.but street life taught the child an essential norm :never trust anybody .not even your shadow.not even your past.outwit them before they get the chance. that’s how he became into what he is , into what others call :A HEARTLESS ASSHOLE . / highly selective & private .
Once you get this, you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly. Then you have to send this to ten of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool) ✨✨
i had to pause and think for good 20 mins .
1. i like that i can speak 2 languages. i mean there are times when i get teased for my accent when speaking both languages but hey i speak more korean and english than they ever will . 2. i also don’t have to worry about subtitles. i can do other stuff while watching/listening . 3. i appreciate that my parents were never hard on me. they say they gave up on me but w/e i’m doing what i love the most because of them . 4. apparently i am very good at googling . 5. i am also very good at arriving to work on time .
have you ever wondered what lies in the mist at night? you know those thick rolling clouds that cover the entire graveyard at midnight exactly? the kind movie directors try to copy but can never seem to get right? do you feel the chill that runs down your spine when you catch the golden eyes that perch high in the tree tops? aren’t you curious as to what flies overhead on your lazy Sunday afternoons andblocks out the sun? do you feel terror when your fingertips brush against leathery wings in the dark? then perhaps you’re not prepared to meet him. to know who wears the crown and rules over many other nightly terrors. no, you wouldn’t be able to look him in the eye, after all, he is the UNSEELIE KING. even his own people avert their gaze, but maybe you’re brave. brave enough to give a LIKE or REBLOG to show your true courage and face him, to dare and get to know who this shadow is. some say he originated from a LAKE far off, others say he is quite SELECTIVE&&PRIVATE with his lifestyle. he’s a mystery to even his own, an enigma not many can decipher. are you brave enough to face a dragon?
BIRTH NAME yi geon - 이건- 李建 ; beom geon-yul - 범건율 - 范建律 ( formerly ) ALSO KNOWN AS grand prince hyoik - 孝翼大君 // HOUSE house of yi BORN 9 november 1981 // REIGN 18 september , 2026 - 28 july , 2046 RESIDENCE changdeok palace , seoul , greater korean empire* * alternate timeline where the imperial family stood as a symbol of resistance and hope and korea has retained its monarchy after the japanese occupation / post-ww2 PLAYLISTX
효익군 - 孝翼君 - PRINCE HYOIK
the night is long and cold as the storm continues to brew . amongst the blizzard , a mansion stands strong as life and death travels between two rooms . there are whispers in the hallway of an omen : of something great or terrible ; of tragedy and birth - else the sky wouldn’t be acting up . you are born 9 november , 1981 , as your father - now , the late scholar beom - draws his last breath . and you are given a name , geon-yul , before the night ends whilst tranquil air replaces the chaos .
at nights , your mother - the widowed princess - mutters stories of your father : the man whose heart was bigger than the moon , who never once forgot to stay humble .
when you turn five , you are adopted by your grandfather - the current emperor - as a precaution in case your brother fails his part . you are given a new name , a new home , a new father with a condition that you mustn’t utter the name of your previous father .
you are yi geon . grand prince hyoik . second in line to the throne . you are no longer your father’s son .
효익대군 - 孝翼大君 - GRAND PRINCE HYOIK
the palace is a strange place , everyone hides behind their facade , and so do you . things have changed since your brother’s removal from heir apparent . you learn to lock away your emotions all the while you let them break you apart - piece by piece - and build you up again so you fit their ideal . you are an empty shell , filled with lust and greed that are not your own . you are no longer your own .
you pretend to enjoy the late night study sessions , the riding lessons , the dinner parties and galas . you will do anything to satisfy your grandfather . you must wear your mask perfectly - that is the purpose of your existence .
you leave korea to study abroad . it’s a liberating feeling to be on your own and you treasure every second of your freedom . with each phone call you receive of your grandfather’s deterioration , you dread going back to the prison you call home .
황제 이건 - 皇帝 李建 - EMPEROR YI GEON , the sixth emperor of korea .
you are a dutiful emperor , a benevolent scholar , an unfortunate royal . they say you take after the father you never saw and the grandfather you’ve sworn never to become .
you start to long for something real - something of your own . you long to build the empire you have imagined , not those from the whispers from your court . on your first day , you proclaim yourself as a beom .
you: What the fuck why is this in court, he obviously didn't do shit and the white bitch a hoe with a crazy bitch ass father, y'all are just racist af, let the man go #BlackLivesMtter
Atticus, an intellectual: To begin with, this case should never have come to trial. The state has not produced one iota of medical evidence that the crime Tom Robinson is charged with ever took place... It has relied instead upon the testimony of two witnesses, whose evidence has not only been called into serious question on cross-examination, but has been flatly contradicted by the defendant. Now, there is circumstantial evidence to indicate that Mayella Ewel was beaten - savagely, by someone who led exclusively with his left. And Tom Robinson now sits before you having taken the oath with the only good hand he possesses... his RIGHT. I have nothing but pity in my heart for the chief witness for the State. She is the victim of cruel poverty and ignorance. But my pity does not extend so far as to her putting a man's life at stake, which she has done in an effort to get rid of her own guilt. Now I say "guilt," gentlemen, because it was guilt that motivated her. She's committed no crime - she has merely broken a rigid and time-honored code of our society, a code so severe that whoever breaks it is hounded from our midst as unfit to live with. She must destroy the evidence of her offense. But what was the evidence of her offense? Tom Robinson, a human being. She must put Tom Robinson away from her. Tom Robinson was to her a daily reminder of what she did. Now, what did she do? She tempted a Negro. She was white, and she tempted a Negro. She did something that, in our society, is unspeakable. She kissed a black man. Not an old uncle, but a strong, young Negro man. No code mattered to her before she broke it, but it came crashing down on her afterwards. The witnesses for the State, with the exception of the sheriff of Maycomb County have presented themselves to you gentlemen, to this court in the cynical confidence that their testimony would not be doubted, confident that you gentlemen would go along with them on the assumption... the evil assumption that all Negroes lie, all Negroes are basically immoral beings, all Negro men are not to be trusted around our women. An assumption that one associates with minds of their caliber, and which is, in itself, gentlemen, a lie, which I do not need to point out to you. And so, a quiet, humble, respectable Negro, who has had the unmitigated TEMERITY to feel sorry for a white woman, has had to put his word against TWO white people's! The defendant is not guilty - but somebody in this courtroom is. Now, gentlemen, in this country, our courts are the great levelers. In our courts, all men are created equal. I'm no idealist to believe firmly in the integrity of our courts and of our jury system - that's no ideal to me. That is a living, working reality! Now I am confident that you gentlemen will review, without passion, the evidence that you have heard, come to a decision and restore this man to his family. In the name of GOD, do your duty. In the name of God, believe... Tom Robinson.
❛ you’re taking your sweet time , aren’t you?here i am doingyour job. not you specifically , but for those pigs that are associated with you. i’ve already died , come back , and figured out who did it before you even picked up that pencil. drop this now , this is my job.❜
❛ uhhhhh i’m actually glad to hear that , uh – sir ! i wasn’t interested in taking over this litigation anyway if it weren’t for the firm but now i have a reason not to ; two birds with one stone - you get what you want and i get mine .❜

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.
