jijiondatbeat: And PLEASE don’t let anyone in your dorm, especially Ikki.
stickikki: ACTUALLY THAT WAS YOU CRYING BC YOU WEREN’T THE ONLY ONE ANYMORE.

meelo_the_man: so what i’m getting here is that EVERYONE’S FAKE
meelo_the_man: bet.
meelo_the_man: that’s why rohan is my favorite. he’s the only one coming to my dorm now.
stickikki: why doesn’t rohan have a phone again?
stickikki: add him in the gc.
jijiondatbeat: He’s using dad’s old phone.
stickikki: wait, which one? dad got like three phones.
meelo_the_man: i got two phones. one for the plug and one for the load
stickikki: stfu. u were two when that song came out.
meelo_the_man: i was EIGHT. get it right, ikki.
stickikki: wtf. you shouldn’t be that old.
meelo_the_man: SORRY FOR AGING???
jijiondatbeat: Just asked Rohan. He has a flip phone.
jijiondatbeat: And why are we talking about Kevin Gates?
stickikki: jinora, how old was meelo when two phones came out?
jijiondatbeat: Why are you asking me how old YOUR brother is?
stickikki: just answer the question like damn.
jijiondatbeat: No. Use your brain.
meelo_the_man: damn, ikki. you’re gonna take that?
stickikki: shut up. you want to see a fight so bad.
stickikki: meelo said he was eight when 2 phones came out.
jijiondatbeat: He was?

stickikki: anyways, what are you gonna do when you go to college

meelo_the_man: *get expelled.
stickikki: DROP OUT.
meelo_the_man: *being drunk at a dry campus.
meelo_the_man: *SMOKING DEVIL’S LETTUCE DURING ROOM CHECKS.
stickikki: why are you lying on my name like this?
meelo_the_man: GASLIGHTING MUCH?
jijiondatbeat: The year was 2016. A popular song was everywhere. That song was Juju on That Beat. You couldn’t escape Juju on That Beat. I had just received my first REAL phone from Dad. It was an iPhone SE, rose gold. I was in the process of making my Instagram. All the usernames I wanted were taken. At school, people called me Jiji. Juju on That Beat was trending. I replaced Juju with Jiji. Jijionthatbeat was taken, so I settled for Jijiondatbeat. I made it lowercase for aesthetic purposes.
jijiondatbeat: The name just stuck.
stickikki: nobody was calling you jiji except for us.
jijiondatbeat: You didn't go to school with me.
stickikki: i was literally a freshman when u were a senior.
jijiondatbeat: Oh. Yeah.
meelo_the_man: jijiondatbeat sounds like a spam
stickikki: because it was. jinora used to post her cute “aesthetic” pics & niche memes on there.
stickikki: that one alessia cara song she would post all the fucking time.
stickikki: meelo, jinora got me bullied because of alessia cara.
jijiondatbeat: ?
jijiondatbeat: No, I didn't.
stickikki: YES YOU DID.
meelo_the_man: IS IT THAT SCARS TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL VIDEO?
stickikki: YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?
jijiondatbeat: Oh my Spirits.
meelo_the_man: yea. jinora made me watch it when i was seven, but i don't know the lore behind it.
stickikki: OKAY SO WHEN I WAS TEN, I GOT BULLIED B/C I HAD UNDIAGNOSED ADHD
stickikki: they were calling me annoying & i used to come home sad. all that stuff.
stickikki: i told jinora n instead of beating up my class, she shoved her crusty ass macbook in my face and FORCED ME to listen to scars to your beautiful
stickikki: no life-changing advice, no offering to jump some kids. SHE TOLD ME TO PLAY THAT SONG TO MY BULLIES AND I DID. AND THEY BULLIED ME EVEN MORE.
stickikki: then jinora had the sheer AUDACITY to record me listening to it and put it on youtube.
meelo_the_man: she set you up LMAO.
jijiondatbeat: Sorry for getting you bullied even more.
stickikki: thank u even tho ur like nine years fucking late.
jijiondatbeat: Ten years. You know… twenty and all.
stickikki: SHUT THEB. FUCK UP JINORA
meelo_the_man: LMFAO
stickikki: GUESS WHAT, JINORA
stickikki: DO YOU KNOW WHAT THSI IS
stickikki:
stickikki: HINT: YOU DIDN’T GET TO HAVE IT
jijiondatbeat: You’re making fun of me like you didn’t wear my dress.
meelo_the_man: why couldn’t you go to prom again?
stickikki: SHE’S A COVID GRAD
stickikki: 2020
stickikki: SHE WASN’T IN THE BEST CLASS AKA 2023
meelo_the_man: 2025 is the best.
meelo_the_man: 1) first class without covid interrupting. 2) largest class ever. 3) apart of the huge birth spike.
meelo_the_man: stay mad.
stickikki: fighting the invisible crowd.
stickikki: you will never know about prime fortnite.
meelo_the_man: i played prime fortnite.
jijiondatbeat: You two will never know about Zella Day.
meelo_the_man: bruh
stickikki: zella day in 2025.
stickikki: “nobody knows about zella day” like…
meelo_the_man: bro’s the #1 zella day fan.
stickikki: the ONLY zella day fan.
stickikki: you wanna be niche so fucking bad 😭
meelo_the_man: fr 💀
jijiondatbeat: Okay, I get it.
stickikki: jinora after playing her “niche” artists on the aux (it’s rachel platten)
stickikki: the day when she started to take us to school was the worst day ever.
stickikki: kelly clarkson’s loud ass at 7 in the morning.
meelo_the_man: or shawn mendes.
meelo_the_man: jinora moved different when she got her saturn.
stickikki: EXACTLY.
stickikki: yelling at 6 am & yanking blankets off. like who are you really feeling like?
meelo_the_man: moving like the military 💀
meelo_the_man: “IF YOU AREN’T IN THE CAR IN THREE MINUTES, YOU ARE GETTING LEFT.”
jijiondatbeat: First of all, I didn’t even yell like that. Second, I wouldn’t HAVE to talk like that if you two knew what it meant to have a sense of urgency.
jijiondatbeat: Imagine having to drop off three kids AND get to school on time. Two of those kids’ schools are fifteen minutes away from your high school.
jijiondatbeat: One can’t put on his clothes the right way, one takes forever to get dressed, and the other is a bathroom hog. Not only that, but you have to get to school by 7:59. It’s 7:29, and everyone wants to eat all of a sudden.
jijiondatbeat: Spirits, I’m glad I went to college.
stickikki: okay ur kinda right.
jijiondatbeat: Kinda?
stickikki: yeah, kinda.
stickikki: you’re not getting my full thanks.
jijiondatbeat: Meelo, please don’t be like this when you go to college.
jijiondatbeat: Better yet, don’t FALL OFF THE GRADUATION STAGE like Ikki.
stickikki: JINORA I WILL LITERALLY KICK YOUR ASS. LIKE ACTUALLY.
stickikki: BECAUSE AT LEAST I HADDDD A GRADUATION STAGE TO WALK ON.
stickikki: CAN YOU SAY THE SAME, JINORA
jijiondatbeat: Did you forget that I graduated college last year? I got my walk at the end of the day.
meelo_the_man: ooo. you’re gonna take that, ikki?
meelo_the_man: i wouldn’t let that slide. that’s just me tho.
stickikki: no, don’t worry.
stickikki:
meelo_the_man: LMFAOOO
jijiondatbeat: Ikki, I will hurt you.
stickikki: OH PLEASE DON’T HURT ME, WEIRDO.
meelo_the_man: how she felt posting that
stickikki: 39 likes is crazy. WHO’S LIKING THAT?
jijiondatbeat: Listen. This was when Riverdale came out.
stickikki: we can tell. you were NOT jughead.
meelo_the_man: i just looked up the account
stickikki: I FORGOT ABOUT THAT SONG.
stickikki: went gold platinum in my room.
jijiondatbeat: Gold platinum.
stickikki: SHUT UP.
stickikki: i love that you can’t ever delete this account because you forgot the password.
stickikki: AND YOU DON’T DELETE ANYTHING ON YOUR MAIN BECAUSE YOU LIKE NOSTALGIA.
meelo_the_man: you’re gonna take that, jinora?
meelo_the_man: idk, man. you’re both adults.
meelo_the_man: i’m not saying swing on her but… 👀
meelo_the_man: i mean, that’s what i—a grown man—would’ve done.
stickikki: “grown man.” mind you, you can’t even vote.
jijiondatbeat: Using an em dash doesn’t make you a grown-up, Meelo.
meelo_the_man: can’t believe i was sticking up for you, jinora.
meelo_the_man: we could’ve jumped ikki, but i see how real lovers get treated out here.
stickikki: why am i being plotted against? hello???
meelo_the_man: we’ve been plotting since last year.
jijiondatbeat: I’ve been plotting since 2005.
meelo_the_man: the whole family’s plotting after uncle sokka’s funeral.
stickikki: STOP. DON’T REMIND ME.
stickikki: actually, let’s change topics!!!
stickikki: meelo, my fav brother in the whole wide world, are you excited for college????
meelo_the_man: NOOOO, DON’T CHANGE IT NOW LMFAO.
jijiondatbeat: I don’t think anyone’s forgetting that day.
jijiondatbeat: You knocked over the casket.
stickikki: granny asked me to make a dance, so i DID.
stickikki: SHE CAME UP TO HER BELOVED GRANDDAUGHTER AND ASKED HER TO DANCE AT HIS FUNERAL.
jijiondatbeat: And you decided that flipping was the best option?
jijiondatbeat: Then once Uncle Sokka’s body was on the ground, you TOUCHED his face.
jijiondatbeat: Not to mention, when we first saw him, you screamed in horror.
stickikki: DID YOU FORGET THAT I WAS LITERALLY SEVEN
stickikki: THEY JUST SHOWED ME A DEAD BODY & YOU WANTED ME TO BE NORMAL?????
meelo_the_man: that funeral was a blur. i remember farting.
stickikki: LMFAOOOOO. REMEMBER WHEN MEELO FARTED & IT STUNK SO BAD THAT WE HAD TO CONTINUE THE FUNERAL OUTSIDE???
stickikki: so much happened at that funeral. so much.
stickikki: the amount of lore that rohan will never know.
jijiondatbeat: That funeral was… something.
jijiondatbeat: That’s #2 of the older sibling lore.
meelo_the_man: what’s #1?
stickikki: finding out mommy’s a homewrecker LMAO
meelo_the_man: HUH?
jijiondatbeat: You didn’t know?
meelo_the_man: IF I’M SAYING HUH THEN OBVIOUSLY NOT. TF???
stickikki: i forgot how old i was. i think i was six n ji was nine.
stickikki: we were playing on mommy’s phone and some lady texted her phone like
stickikki: idk what all she said but it was something like “you’re a homewrecking hoe, and i hope someone steals your man.”
stickikki: we didn’t know what homewrecking meant, so we thought mom was actually destroying homes. i mean she was, but still.
stickikki: my thought was to ignore it and continue watching minecraft. BUT JINORA.
jijiondatbeat: Jinora what?
stickikki: JINORA CALLS THE FUCKING NUMBER LIKE “OUR MOM ISN’T A HOE. SHE’S ACTUALLY AN AMAZING GARDENER.”
meelo_the_man: HAAHAHAHAAHAH
jijiondatbeat: You got the story mixed, Ikki. YOU wanted to call her, not me.
stickikki: i wanted to watch stampy.
jijiondatbeat: And you also begged to call because you didn’t know what a hoe was.
stickikki: YOU DIDN’T KNOW WHAT A HOE WAS EITHER. HELLO?????/
stickikki: “MOMMY DOESN’T EVEN USE THE HOE. OUR DAD DOES.” LIKE???
meelo_the_man: so what happened on this call?
jijiondatbeat: We found out that Mom stole a lot of women’s boyfriends back in the day.
stickikki: this random lady is just going in on mom. we didn’t understand half of the words she was saying.
stickikki: me and jinora watching a random lady call our mom a pencil face ass hoe
meelo_the_man: and you just let that slide?
stickikki: in our defense, jinora hung up the phone b/c she called us bobble heads.
stickikki: then we gave the phone to mommy & let her handle adult business.
meelo_the_man: should’ve called me.
meelo_the_man: i would’ve got that handled.
jijiondatbeat: You were four.
meelo_the_man: four doesn’t mean anything if family’s on the line.
stickikki: okay, dominic toretto.
stickikki: honestly, i knew mom was a homewrecker when i asked her for dating advice.
stickikki: i had a crush on this girl, but she had a bf. asked mommy what i should do. she said
stickikki: AND I QUOTE
stickikki: “if you feel like she’s with the wrong person, then you should stir her away from him. if she really loves him, she wouldn’t be talking to you. some people aren’t supposed to be with certain people. trust me, your father and i know a lot about that.”
stickikki: i’m sitting there like wtf?
meelo_the_man: justice for lin.
stickikki: you know about that???
meelo_the_man: who doesn’t
meelo_the_man: if you locked in, you would’ve known that mom walks x2 faster than she normally does when lin is here. she walks x3 faster when she hears that they’re alone.
meelo_the_man: but you wouldn’t know this because you aren’t observant and locked in like i am.
meelo_the_man: my sister need to do better.
stickikki: i will lock my foot into your ass.
meelo_the_man: everyone always use the foot in ass threat. we don’t talk about the consequences of it. what if i took a shit while said foot was in ass?
stickikki: when do you go to college?
stickikki: we can actually send you right now.
jijiondatbeat: I was going to say that you’re gross, but you already know that, Meelo.
meelo_the_man: it’s okay because i’m gonna be in my humble abode.
meelo_the_man: you’re gonna be stuck with rohan. and rohan’s gonna make you play roblox with him.
jijiondatbeat: I have my own place. Ikki’s stuck with Rohan.
stickikki: i love my little brother.
stickikki: he’s at that stage in life where daddy tells him that everything has drugs.
stickikki: he thinks i’m an addict, and that’s okay!
jijiondatbeat: What even happened for him to think that? Did you smoke around him?
stickikki: NOOOO
meelo_the_man: she smoked around him.
stickikki: I DIDN’T. THIS WAS IN MY OWN PRIVATE AREA. AKA MY ROOM.
stickikki: i couldn’t find my grinder. my bong broke, so i had to cut it up with a knife. BUT I COULDN’T FIND MY KNIFE.
stickikki: so i used my credit card.
stickikki: rohan DOESNT KNOCK so he literally pushes my door open. mid chop. we stare at each other for like five seconds.
stickikki: HE LITERALLY SCREAMS “DADDDD, IKKI’S DOING DRUGS!!!!” I’M TRYING TO HIDE MY STASH BUT ROHAN IS STARING AT ME LIKE SOME CREEP. AND I’M STRESSED OUT SO I ACCIDENTALLY TOLD HIM TO STFU AND HE STARTS CRYING.
stickikki: AND DADDY COMES IN LIKE “ikki, what are you doing???” he STARES AT THE WEED, THEN ME, AND TELLS ROHAN TO LEAVE SO HE CAN TALK TO ME.
stickikki: HE TAKES MY STASH, LECTURES ME FOR 30 MINS ABOUT HOW WEED DESTROYS THE BRAIN, AND LEAVES.
stickikki: i had PLANS. all i wanted to do was smoke, eat mom’s dinner, and watch cobra kai.
stickikki: AND THENNNNNNNN. i tried to sneak my stash back b/c that’s $120 he took. it’s super late at night, so i assume everyone’s asleep. i walk past the kitchen. what do i hear outside? LAUGHTER. i pop my head out the back door. i see aunt kya, uncle bumi, mom, dad, and lin. can anyone guess what they’re doing?
meelo_the_man: Drinking.
stickikki: nope. they’re SMOKIGN MY WEED. THEY ROLLED IT UP AND SMOKED IT.
stickikki: THEY’RE COMPLIMENTING HOW GOOD THE WEED. DAD’S LIKE “my little girl sure knows how to pick them! i haven’t done anything like this since my college days!” LIKE WHAT
jijiondatbeat: I’m actually not surprised that happened.
meelo_the_man: dad would be a mellow high. idk about drunk.
jijiondatbeat: Drunk Tenzin is just him being clumsy. He’s still him, just falling everywhere.
jijiondatbeat: Oh, and he says yes to everything. Out of curiosity, I asked to use his card. He said yes. I didn’t use it, but I was intrigued.
meelo_the_man: that checks.
stickikki: liar, we got burger king.
jijiondatbeat: No, that was when he was half-asleep. I don’t take away from the drunk.
meelo_the_man: i mean, he does say yes to everything when he’s about to sleep.
meelo_the_man: but he always says yes to me. i’m his little man.
meelo_the_man: #favoritechild
stickikki: okay, so nobody asked.
meelo_the_man: of course, this is coming from the middle child. do you feel ignored, perhaps?
stickikki: i’m the only middle child in history that never gets ignored. let’s be honest
stickikki: ikki gyasto leaves for a day. mayhem. i come back. flowers bloom, the sun is shining, and the birds are chirping.
jijiondatbeat: I don’t have anything to say for this argument.
jijiondatbeat: When you use the Netflix account, ask Dad for the password.
jijiondatbeat: That’s all.
meelo_the_man: 😐
meelo_the_man: we do not care.
stickikki: AT ALL 😭
stickikki: LMAOOO
meelo_the_man: thanks for the pass ig.
meelo_the_man:
jijiondatbeat: He probably doesn’t have a favorite child. We all annoy him equally.
stickikki: i think we ALL sing
meelo_the_man: LMAO
meelo_the_man: i’m gonna miss you guys.
meelo_the_man: not really.
meelo_the_man: but i’ll try to miss you.
jijiondatbeat: You just clowned me. I’ll miss you slightly.
stickikki: it’s okay, meelo. you’ll see me all the time when i sneak in your dorm.
stickikki; just like how we did with jinora.
jijiondatbeat: Remember what I said.
jijiondatbeat: Don’t do anything stupid.
jijiondatbeat: Nobody should stay in your dorm besides your roommate. Not even Ikki.
stickikki: ignore her.
meelo_the_man: if all fails, i’ll stay at jinora’s.
meelo_the_man: and kai.
jijiondatbeat: Kai doesn’t stay with me.
stickikki: SHE’S LYING SHE HAS MAN SHOES.
