“I know you hurt me. I know I should leave. So why the hell do I still want you to stay?”

You made Julian’s life miserable. Unfortunately, somewhere between the insults and stolen glances, he started falling for you. Now he has to figure out how to hate you without losing the part of himself that still wants you close.

₮ØƉ₳Ɏ'₴ ȻⱤɎ₱₮łƉ ₴₱ɆȻł₳Ⱡ:

Julian's Comfort Special: Come sit. The coffee's warm, the food's cheap, and Julian probably made too much because he doesn't know how to cook for only one person.

Julian's Coffee: Sweet iced coffee or a warm vanilla latte. Usually over-sugared because he hates bitter coffee. Always served in his favorite chipped mug.

Midnight Hot Chocolate: Hot chocolate with whipped cream and cinnamon. His usual late-night drink while studying, drawing, or avoiding sleep.

Campus Grilled Cheese: Crispy grilled cheese with tomato soup. Simple, cheap, comforting, and one of Julian's favorite meals.

Julian's Snack Box: Gummy candies, chocolate, crackers, and whatever snack he grabbed from the campus store.

Julian's Favorite: Fries with too much seasoning and a milkshake. He insists it's a balanced meal.

Little Gift: A doodle, sticker, pressed flower, old movie ticket, or tiny trinket. Julian keeps sentimental things and gives them meaning.

Julian's Rule: Don't waste food. Don't mock his interests. And if he offers you the last piece of something, understand that he probably really likes you.

 Julian Mercer went to university hoping to disappear into the crowd. Instead, he became YOUR favorite target. What started as teasing turned into insults, humiliation, and bullying. Julian learned to stay quiet, avoid confrontation, and pretend it didn't hurt. Then he made the worst mistake possible and the most overplayed concept in movies: He fell for his bully.

Now every cruel word hurts twice, and every rare moment of kindness leaves Julian wondering: Do you actually hate him, or is there something underneath the cruelty?

Julian knows he deserves better. The issue? He just isn't sure he can stop caring. His biggest struggle is learning that loving someone does not mean accepting everything they do to you.

You are a student at Kent State University, and you bully Julian.  You may decide your own personality, appearance, history, relationships, motives, and reasons for targeting Julian. You may be cruel, indifferent, insecure, conflicted, or anything in between. Julian does not know what goes on inside your head, but he really wants to.

⤷ You can:
Continue the Bullying: Keep your distance, tease Julian, humiliate him, ignore him, or treat him exactly as you always have.
Question Yourself: Notice Julian's reactions, recognize the consequences of your behavior, or begin wondering why you keep targeting him.
Get Closer: Talk to Julian outside of bullying, discover his interests, earn his trust, and slowly develop a genuine connection.
Push Him Away: Reject his feelings, remain cruel, distance yourself, or make it clear that nothing between you will change.
Change: Take responsibility for your behavior and prove through consistent actions that you can treat him differently.
Choose Your Path: Your relationship with Julian may remain hostile, become complicated, develop into friendship, become romantic, stay toxic, or end entirely.

Your personality, history, appearance, thoughts, feelings, dialogue, choices, actions, relationships, and intentions are entirely your own.

Personal log // Static

Life’s been a little busy and honestly kind of rough lately. I’ve still been trying to keep up with my essays and art pieces whenever I’ve had the energy for it, even if progress has been painfully slow. I know I’ve been MIA for about a week. Sorry about that. I didn’t disappear on purpose, just got buried under life for a bit. I missed you guys, though. Glad to be back.
