BLURRY'S PLAYLIST
BLURRY'S WEHEARTIT BOARD
BIOGRAPHY
Blurry was born on November 25th, 2000 to his two biological parents, Vess and Bird. he was an only child for about a year, until he was joined by his brother, Momentum. Vess was disappointed that they could not produce a perfect, and he valued his kids based on who was defected the least, leaving Blurryface to be the most neglected out of him and his brother. Bird disagreed with her husband’s logic but could not stop Vess from behaving like this. They tried once more for a perfect, yet failed, so after their third child Golden was born, Vess became furious. he took his anger out onto Blurryface, claiming he was the reason behind their imperfect family and became so out of his mind that Bird gathered her things and left. Police pronounced her dead after months but she actually changed her identity and moved to New Zealand.Blurry’s upbringing was centered around this trauma. He’s a victim of neglect from his father, never being paid much attention, denied meals on occasion and scolded for being too introverted at school. Right after Blurry turns five, his father introduces a young woman by the name of Caroline to the children. Caroline and Vess met through work, Caroline loving to hear about the kids. she stepped into help purposefully because she knew who Vess was and what he was like, and she unfortunately never got the chance to have children, as her late husband, Sage, passed away only a year after they got married when she was 20. She felt as if being there for these kids was her calling. She is only 17 years older than Blurry, making her 22 when she arrived. Vess and Caroline soon married, and Blurry did not trust nor like Caroline due to his issues, afraid that she too would leave and let his father continue to disrespect him.Blurry goes into the rest of elementary school a lone wolf, his grades aren’t spectacular and he remains not having friends. He is not keen to the idea of friends, as he feels he is too mean for friends and is scared everyone will hate him. Caroline attends class birthdays with him and tries cheering him up when they happen, making light of any situation she can. This helps Blurry respect her for sticking by him, and he learns that she doesn’t absolutely hate him. By fifth grade, he is decently comfortable with Caroline.Going into middle school, Caroline convinces Blurryface to sign up for the basketball team to get rid of some of his energy and repressed anger. Blurry agrees, joins, and does very well. Jock life isn’t his thing, but he keeps up well with the team and eventually some boys are envious of him and think he’s weird because he doesn’t have any friends and is generally rude if people talk to him because he makes snarky comments. He is generally already poked at for being so quiet and down all the time, but this heightens when his team starts a quiet rumor that he's gay. Blurry finds out through his teammate joking about it, but doesn't pay it any mind. Blurry is good at not letting bullies or anything get at him too badly, but he's particularly dismissive of this rumor because at the time he thought he really just didn't like anyone at all. (This holds true until he finds some girls in the library gushing over a GQ magazine and he soon realizes he is in fact, gay. He further proves this point when seeing Christian Slater in Heathers).Going into high school, Blurry convinces himself he's probably going to be alone for the rest of his life, until one fateful day in freshman year, when at lunch, a guy hit Blurry in the back with an apple core. The kid was one of Blurry's old teammates, who then ever-so-adoringly called him a slur. Blurry got pissed, stood up, went over to the other kid and knocked him in the face with enough force that the dude fell into the table and regretted his word choice. Blurry basically told him to fuck off then and then went back to his lonely seat, until a few minutes later, a girl showed up and demanded he come sit with her friends. This girl was Crimson, and Blurry initially said no, but Crimson was persistent and ended up dragging him to the friend group's table after promising they would keep him from being harassed.Blurry never considered anyone in the group to truly be his friend, but he sucked it up for the mere purpose of being able to make Caroline happy to think he actually made friends. She allowed him to tag along with them everywhere, but he barely ever spoke and just considered himself background noise. He always liked Crimson the most out of everyone, and then Hurricane the least. They liked him because he helped with their homework, and once he got his license in the middle of sophomore year, could drive everyone places. He made sure to keep Snapchat streaks with everyone and eventually became a target for random girls to take a liking towards him, which he rarely ever paid any attention to.By the time sophomore year came around, Blurry was beginning to increasingly struggle with his mental health, as things openly got rocky between Caroline and Vess and for a while he had the irrational fear that Caroline may leave the family, which was his worst fear at the time. He became even more silent in school and suddenly became hyperaware of how insignificant he was amongst his friends and his own family. He couldn't see himself getting anywhere in life and couldn't see much of a point.Spooky joined the friend group around this time, but Blurry didn't exactly pay him any attention outside of their first interaction where Spooky accidentally told Blurry he was attractive in reference to the whole group and Blurry found it a little bit funny.TW: suicideHowever, Blurry's mental health continued to decline at a rapid pace until he was at rock bottom around the beginning of November. He made an attempt in the middle of the night one night, but was heard and stopped by Caroline. Because they couldn't find or pay for insurance to cover therapy, Caroline became a temporary therapist for a while and made Blurry stay home the following week to try and give him space to let his mind recover. Caroline suggested that Blurry maybe change schools, but the idea was shot down by Blurry being insistent that he couldn't tolerate other people and also with the distance conflicting with Caroline's work schedule.Blurry returned a week later to an astonished and worried group, who were split on their opinions on what happened. Hurricane and Devotee suggested more sinister conspiracies whereas Crimson and Spooky assumed he was sick with the flu or something. Blurry didn't answer their texts while he was absent and refused to give them answers and was his normal rude self, but the group didn't exactly take to this kindly. Crimson had a gut feeling something terrible had happened, so excused his behavior, but Spooky was furious at Blurry for it, and in turn, Devotee was mad at Spooky and Blurry and Crimson for causing a divide in the group.This started Blurry and Spooky's foul relationship with each other. Blurry was pissed that Spooky was so insistent that he open up and share, even though Spooky didn't even know Blurry, whereas Spooky was doing it out of sheer worry and a hidden frustration that he wouldn't be able to get to know Blurry. That, and the fact that Blurry was making the group upset, which Spooky didn't appreciate either. Most of the arguments happened over texting, but some of it translated into their school days. Eventually things got so rough that a small fight did occur, but it didn't go anywhere, as Spooky let up after Blurry cracked his nose. Neither of them apologized, but a few days later after the group requested it, they made a mutual agreement not to fight anymore, but that didn't stop them from still being very tense and making snarky comments towards each other. Spooky was left on a constant edge and overcome with unrest after everything, and Blurry felt somewhat remorseful after Caroline scolded him. By the end of sophomore year, they began to ease up and become more passive with each other, and by the summer they hadn't argued in a while. They had plenty of tame interactions over the summer, so by the time the new school year started, there wasn't much worry. However, they never really talked things out, which led Spooky to believe Blurry still had issues with him even though Blurry didn't care anymore.This is where the first book starts.A summary of what happens after Dangerous Sarcasm will exist sometime soon.

SPOOKY'S PLAYLIST
SPOOKY'S WEHEARTIT BOARD
BIOGRAPHY
Spooky was born on May 31st, 2000 to his parents, Ode and Sylvia. He was given the name James upon birth, but adopted the nickname "Spooky" going into elementary school after complaining about his traditional name. Spooky was the second child in the family, with his older brother, T, being two years older than him. Spooky's parents were delighted at first, and for the first few years of his life, was given a majority of the attention until his sister, Midnight, was born.Growing up in his toddler years, Spooky became frustrated with the newfound attention on his baby sister. T was at the age where he started to make friends, and so that left Spooky all alone while his baby sister got most of the attention from his parents. His parents would scold him for being upset constantly, which would leave the boy confused. In an attempt to ease his whining, Ode and Sylvia used the generous amounts of money they had to provide their son with anything he wanted to keep him occupied.Going into school, Spooky was a generally well-liked kids, immediately making friends and becoming increasingly popular for the elaborate birthday parties he would hold for his classes. Because Spooky rarely socialized with his parents, he grew up with a loud mouth in school, and grew to be generally impatient with various things. His teachers brushed it off to be minor concerns, as his grades weren't concerning and he socialized well for his age group. He always had the newest and greatest toys or fads to show his friends, and carried the popularity with him to middle school.As Spooky gets older, he becomes increasingly aware of how little attention his parents pay him. Always preoccupied with work, or Midnight or T's extracurriculars, Spooky feels somewhat neglected and pushed aside. He desperately tries to get closer to his friends, so that he can be someone's first choice or closest friend, but comes up empty-handed. His friends seem to only enjoy his company when he can give them snacks at lunch or an expensive birthday gift. Spooky is upset by this when he comes to realize it, but remains a social butterfly in the hopes people will appreciate him for who he is outside of his parent's money and fresh Nikes.Spooky begins to struggle with his attention span and nervous habits more and more as his social and family issues worsen, and his school grades start to plummet as a result. He gets extremely stressed over this and his parents become upset with him, demanding why he's struggling so much. Spooky becomes irritated and overwhelmed by the fact that the attention he wanted from his parents for so long ended up being complete negativity instead of support and affection, and he began focusing on his interests like Marvel movies and especially drumming to subconsciously avoid his responsibilities. It didn't end well for him, and he ended up failing the grade thanks to his troubling math class. Spooky's parents were livid, immediately taking him to a doctor as soon as the summer started to find out what "happened" to him. Spooky was diagnosed with ADHD and prescribed medication to treat it. Right as Spooky was starting to think things were looking up for him, his parents forced him onto a two month European vacation, where they left him out of the family activities day to day as punishment for him failing school. Spooky became miserable, but his spirits were soon picked up by two boys who contacted him on Instagram during his trip. It was two boys who were in the grade below him named Demolition and Cellabration, and the three boys quickly hit it off and became close. Because Spooky couldn't make up his class over the summer, he was instructed to retake his grade, but he accepted the place happily because it meant he would get to have class with his best friends. Eighth grade was Spooky's best middle school year, and he finally was starting to feel appreciated for himself like he had wanted all this time.Freshman year looked to be just as promising, and Spooky was flung into a frenzy of new things, and Demo and Cell slowly started to accumulate new friends in their classes. This somewhat scared Spooky, who was afraid to lose his friends, but he stayed persistent and social, excited by the freedom high school seemed to offer.NOT FINISHED
TERMS TO KNOW
Perfect: (noun) A person who is without genetic defect. Slang includes "angel" and "div" (short for divine)IT (Identification Tags): (noun) The number code at the end of a person's first/middle names/nickname.
HISTORY
The AU is nearly exactly like our existing universe with a few exceptions.GENETIC DEFECTSMost humans are born with some sort of genetic defect while they are developing/born.These genetic defects cannot be passed down from parent to child and are completely at random, and can be as minor or major as they come. The defect affects the child's phenomes and can affect hair color, eye color, skin detail differences, and in rare cases, external body parts like small horns or differently shaped ears. The natural color spectrum for defects is much broader than normal phenomes, and defects can range and vary in color. People can be born with "unnatural" colored hair or eyes etc etc.The most common defects are hair and eye color changes.
Next most common are skin defects, small details on the face are very common, more broader skin defects or entire tints are less commonThe less common defects are the different body parts.People can be born without defects, and appear as (what would be to us) a "normal" human, though in this world they are like a minority group.Again, these defects cannot be passed down through reproduction and are at random for every person born, however eyes are usually effected by passed down traits. Normally light defect-colored eyes are because parents had light colored eye genes, and vice versa, however this is not always the case. Normal genetics can be passed down such as face/body shape, skin color, hair type, etc etc.Other genetic disorders such as heterochromia and albinism and others still exist.Identical twins do have the same/very similar defectsFraternal twins can have differing defects.RELIGIOUS/SOCIETAL IMPLICATIONSEven though not mentioned in any religious text, people without genetic defects used to be said to have direct connections to gods and divine figures because they are a minority. This soon turned into discrimination and harassment and they were used for inhumane things throughout history but are protected against discrimination by law. There are supremacists who think perfects are elite but that's a very small minority.Things like racism and discrimination based upon physical appearance are subdued, though.IDENTIFICATION TAGSLast names do not exist in the universe, due to genetic defects skewing kids from their families in terms of physical appearance, so people are identified universally through a set of numbers tagged at the end of their names on government documents including school and work and at the bank etc etc. It's like a public social security number.The format goes as follows:XXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXThe first 20 numbers are a unique code set to yourself, the last 10 digits are a household code (sometimes called a marriage code) and change as you go from being attached to your family/household to your spouse and your own family/household.Unless it's a government issued document/card, you only attach your first 10 numbers after your name and then the last two digits of your household code so that it's easier for younger kids/disabled people and people who cannot remember 30 numbers at a time to write down.EX: Star 1234567890-90 (abridged)
EX: Star 1234567890-1234567890-1234567890 (full)NAMESThere are two types of names: Traditional and ContemporaryThese vary based on culture/language differencesTraditional names are what we consider to be "normal" human names and aren't as widely used as contemporary names. It is usually tradition that if you have a child without any defects to give them a normal name, example: Caroline. Just like the real world, every culture and ethnicity has traditional names they like to use.Contemporary names developed alongside early research of genetic defects, people started to branch out from traditional names in the 18th century and it blew up from there. Nouns and two word names are common, some people prefer to use compound words. Contemporary nicknames are also very popularMovies and TV shows and media like to use traditional names and make their characters without any defects unless prompted otherwise. Movie and television characters also have last names instead of ITs.If people wish to carry a family name, what would be a last name is the child's legal middle name.FUN FACTS!Cosmetic technology is more advanced in the AU due to a wider range of natural genetic color selections, foundation and makeup are available in all shades of the rainbow and hair dye is more permanent and vibrant, and people with mutated hair can bleach their hair easier as well.Vine is never shut down!COVID-19 is nonexistent
