I want to bring glam back. And not just in a small way, like owning one pair of platforms. I mean bring it all the way back, the decadence, the crazy over the edge way of living, drenching everything in glitter, wearing fur coats and ostrich feathers, fishnets and outrageous makeup in the middle of the day. That way of enjoying life appeals to me so much, just never doing anything by halves, living in a glam dream, just living.
HOW TO ROLEPLAY GANGS AND EX OR CURRENT GANG MEMBERS
this guide will teach you the ins and outs of realistic gangs, roleplaying gang members, and how all of that works. almost all gang roleplays i’ve seen are so inaccurate, glamorized and romanticized. movies are not realistic. even if it isn’t a gang rp - a gang related character could be interesting in any sort of character development plot. so here we go –

Regardless of the hand liquor had in this sudden epiphany, that didn’t change the fact that the smell of it lingered strongly on Jack’s breath. Despite this he decided to h u m o r the redhead. There was an off chance he could be right. The implication of which intrigued him… though improbable it was.
“I highly doubt that,” he deadpanned, barely managing to keep a smirk from his features. “After all, I don’t have your legs, do I?” He stepped back, releasing himself from Jack’s inspection so he could level his own. “Now, I did have an uncle at some point.. But I’d thought he’d went and died a bachelor. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’d gone off and had a couple bastards first, though..”
“Oh, true.. Though, you’d think in a society where time travel was possible, medical would’ve improved leaps and bounds too.” He mused, more wondering aloud than anything else. “..But I doubt I’d get it.” Was added, bringing his thoughts to a conclusion himself.
“I mean, my father did leave when I was boy, so who knows, you just might be onto something.” Probably not, in all likelihood, though his drunk mind entertained the idea more than he would’ve sober. “Where’s he from?”
❝ well, i’ll pay it, ❞ the tone comes out a bit snappier than intended–comparable to that of a dog’s. although immediately afterwards, his brow relaxes, and he fixates his gaze on his entourage, wanting to draw his attention somewhere else. he can’t help but feel a similarity between them; though he surely surmises it’s as simple as the color of their hair (and the duke definitely thinks his looks far better). albeit he didn’t wish to put together who came first; after all, duke did tend to borrow from just about everyone. ❝ a round of vodka, thank you. ❞
You’d better. “We haven’t a problem, then, do we?” He responded, fixing a smile on his features and promptly moving on to fix the requested drinks. Perhaps he shouldn’t have taken the colour too personally - it wasn’t as though he’d invented orange, though he still felt irked by it. “That’ll be nine dollars and 76 cents, sir.”
A
dog. That was definitely a
companion Eve would not have expected to be by his side. Yet, it
didn’t seem as if he had told her the complete truth anyway,
especially in regard of the sexual promiscuity she had found in his
character from very early on.
„Funny
that it’s one of your kind.“ The amused chuckle that followed would
quite possibly leave a bitter taste for Jack, specifically with the
brash words she then added. „I wonder who of you throws the ball
and who fetches it.“
What
a way to make him realize that she didn’t trust his words.
“..Jesus, Eve.” Both taken aback and revulsed by the suggestion, that was the only verbal response he chose to give, deeming such a low blow unworthy of a proper response. Or perhaps it was, part of him thought he deserved it, but either way he didn’t wish to acknowledge it further.
“Side-splitting.” The word was almost spat, a somewhat childish response, though in the moment he didn’t care, stung as he was and he folded his arms over his chest as an unconscious response.
“Shoes on, then, I suppose,” he muttered to himself as Jack skirted away, tone dripping with a touch of dry laughter. He chose chose a seat, legs in cross and hands folding atop as he waited. The distant click of canine paws wasn’t lost on him. As the dog appeared trotting behind his returning host whatever suspicions he possibly had abated almost completely. Again he laughed to himself. There remained the slightest tickle of question, yet he chose to brush it away.
Uncrossing and leaning forwards he grasped a warm mug, murmuring his thanks taking a sip before setting gaze full on Jack’s enthusiasm. A thoughtful crease between his brow. “It has a unique energy.. An obvious, narrative undercurrent.” Almost a question, though moreso a statement. Watching the other man’s expression to check for accuracy. “The sound itself is overall remarkably joyous.. But the meaning is not. As are some of the best tales told - hard, bitter truths glossed with vivid melodies and decadence..” A smile spoke of genuine approval. “A rather extraordinary experience, really.
I am curious about this “Hunger City.” I assume the subject matter is based on your own truths masked as fiction?”
Delighted both by the other’s compliments and his fairly accurate insights, his smile widened into a grin and he nodded somewhat fervently in response. “Thank you! That’s right, yes, though some parts are more closer to truth than others, particularly on the first side..” He paused before he continued, picking his words with care. “I’d say a couple of tracks are genuinely upbeat, but yes, for the majority. You know what ‘cut-ups’ are, right?”
