Hey I'm a big fan of your behind the curtain fic and I was wondering if you had any plans to continue

I know it’s been a long time, and you probably have completely forgotten you wrote this, but I absolutely have plans to continue!

One of the downsides of me not posting a story until I have a full rough draft is that since no one else can see my hard drive, there’s no evidence I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth/left fandom!  But I would rather have only me dangling in suspense for however long it takes me to finish a fic than have the extra pressure of many others also waiting.  If I’d posted everything I’m working on, there would be over a dozen WiPs on my profile.  ^_^;;;

SPOP officially ending brought with it a slew of new ideas, and I now call my writing folder my “slush pile” for good reason.  Originally I had a bunch of post-canon fics.  However, all but two one-shots have not survived over time.  What canon ending DID do was open the path to AUs and.. yeah.  Apparently I’ll stick Hordak and Entrapta anywhere and enjoy it!

But going the strongest is sticking with the “Behind the Curtain” universe, because I love the headcanons I came up with so much.  Most everything got “jossed” by S5, but timelines were going to have to diverge at some point anyway.

Below this is all health stuff, so feel free to ignore if not interested!

I’ve also had the extra wrinkle of being in less pain than I have been in over two decades, but the trade-off is I now tend to faint in difficult-to-maneuver-around circumstances.  For example, heat and cold.  So now my showers are lukewarm, and I faint if I go in the freezer aisle of the grocery store (my aide was with me, so I’m okay!).  Therefore, I have to get everything delivered.

Not only that, my “fatigue level before I faint” line has gone down drastically.  It used to take about two weeks of nonstop overdoing it to cause a faint.  Now I try to push it even for one day, and down I go.  So I also now have a rollator (basically a walker with a seat) that I keep by me all the time for my own safety.

Working with my new baseline has been more frustrating than I thought, and often interferes with my wish to be creative.

But I’m still here, writing away in secret even though I haven’t posted for nearly a year at this point (yikes!).  I’m just happy to have not been forgotten during my unwilling sabbatical!

Tell me about some recent ships you've discovered, what you like about their dynamics (ooh and maybe some favorite romance tropes!), anything that comes to mind!!

Ships I Discovered since Valentine’s Day Last Year:

This is around when I started my Tumblr actually!

-Literally all of the Six ships. I learned about those about a year ago. That’s KatAnna (my favorite!), Parrlyn, Aralyn, and Aramour! Those are the four I’ve written for anyway.

-Also all of the WATT ships! Kateva, Clarkleigh, and Cheerwives (another favorite!) and then later Mattasha and all of the fandom pairings: Checkate, Caileigh, and Chai!

-Hadestown and Great Comet ships! Orphydice, Persades, Maryalene, Sonya/Mary, and Anatole/Dolokhov.

This is becoming a list of my past year’s fandoms and the ships from them.

-SPOP! I love this show so much even though Azula is my icon it may have been my favorite show of the past year! So there was Catradora (favorite SUCH a favorite! I was on that train from day one!), Glimbow, Scorfuma, Seamista, and Spinnetossa! Recently I’ve also discovered that there’s a lot of Glitra stans following me, so I’ve started looking at some of that content too!

- ATLA ships! The canon ones first as I was watching it, so Sokka/Yue and Sukka, and then Kataang at the end. And of course, the amazing fandom gayness! Zukka, Tyzula (favorite!), and Yueki:) Also Mailee because even though I’m a Tyzula stan I still love it.

-In the same vain, TLOK. Korrasami is another favorite, obviously, but there’s also Kainora, Bopal (did I get that name right?), Kyalin, and Wuko!

-I don’t know if they have ship names but Cassia/Grace, Adelaide/Beatrice, Clover/Kennedy, and Solar/Nova from the Averno musicals!

-And finally, we have what I’m currently watching, The Owl House, and LUMITY YAY I LOVE THEM!!

Wow so many great ships this year!

Favorite Romantic Tropes:

-Romantic rescuing. Easily my favorite. I have loved it ever since I was a kid. It is amazing and sweet and I live for it.

-Similar vain, romantic SACRIFICE. This can go hand in hand with romantic rescuing and it makes it THAT MUCH MORE EMOTIONAL!

-Enemies to lovers. There is development and tension and I absolutely love it.

-I don’t like it as much as enemies to lovers, but Childhood Friends to Lovers can be just so cute.

-Mutual pining idiots.

-One of the characters being the only one the other character really opens up to.

-Cute nicknames.

I just like romance okay?

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

→ hello, it’s your happy virus, park chanyeol ! --- spop mc auditions

auditioning to become an mc is kind of a strange thing. he’s never had any experience with it, and despite his confidence in his abilities to just talk, it’s still a bit different than what they’re being asked to do. throw in the fact that the practice scripts they’d been given are for some sort of dance program, and he’s thrown for a loop. sure, he’s never thought about doing mc things before, and had that one time playing around with joy in the studio pretending to be a radio host, but this all just feels like foreign language-speaking country, and he’s being thrown into the ring without a translator.

but he’s never been one to back away from a challenge, and even though his dancing is still pretty sub-par when compared to everyone else in the company, it’s still improved quite vastly from when he’d first started, so that’s at least something.

not to mention, he has a great support system all around him, with friends who wish to see him do well despite them technically being competition, and those who inspire him to do better, like dylan, who’d even told him about a potential debut opportunity coming up for him, lending him some practice by acting as a debuted idol while chanyeol could take on the mc role as a sort of dry run for the whole audition process.

and then there’s wes, who’s becomes somewhat of an older figure to him, someone who had recently just told him he’d been thinking of leaving dreams of the idol world behind as someone older, someone who’s been at the company longer, someone who’s third trainee contract will be expiring in a few months. it always pains him when someone leaves, and he always tries his best to be understanding, but it hits a little different when it comes to wes, who has been there as his mentor from day one, a sort of calming figure to his chaotic energy, and he just can’t see why he would give up now, after six years (but maybe that’s his own wish for him not to leave talking).

despite his impending contract termination, though, wes is still willing to sit through auditions with him, and he couldn’t be any more grateful. who knows when he’ll get an opportunity like this again, not just an audition, but the chance to do something with wes. it’s almost bittersweet.

but just like always, wes is able to reel him in even before the thing begins, and he’s able to concentrate on the task at hand rather than on future goodbyes.

“welcome back to isq! it’s your boy wes…”

“and your happy virus, park chanyeol!” he poses with his face framed in his hands, voice as high energy and peppy as usual, with no sign he’d just been lamenting, a practiced trait, if ever he had one.

“ah, you know, i’ve been feeling kind of weak in my limbs lately,” wes says, massaging his limbs as he fakes a pained expression. “the doctor recommends getting more exercise, can you believe it?”

chanyeol gasps, going off script, covering his mouth with his hand. “even more exercise? with your godly physique? then what should we do?”

wes breaks, snorting a laugh. “mm, i think i need more dance practice anyway…”

it’s chanyeol’s turn to laugh, because out of the two of them, he’s the one who needs dance practice the most. still, he speaks, his line, evidence of his laughter coloring his words. “oh? is that what i think it means?”

“i think it does~”

“then it’s time for!” he jumps up from his seat, proceeding to dance, twisting his hips as he says his next line. “the shanghai twist!” undoubtedly, he looks like a god damn fool, but he’s having fun, and isn’t that what being an mc is about anyway? if you’re not having fun, it shows to your viewers, and it affects the broadcast. at least, that’s what he’s been told during lessons, and it makes far too much sense for him to doubt the validity of it. “then, let’s get started right away!”

the next few minutes of the fake broadcast consists of him and wes both trying out choreographies of current idol groups and trying to mesh the together by combining the legs of one song with the upper body of another, and it’s just as disastrous as he’d expected, and hoped. being good at something is one thing, but to fail in front of others, now that’s something hilarious. it’s as if he hadn’t trained for more than two years as a trainee, his body flailing all over the place, unable to keep up with both choreographies at once. he can’t quite see himself as he dances, as he’s concentrated on the examples in front of him, but he can certainly imagine, and that makes his laughter nonstop. the sounds of wes’ laughter don’t really help his case at all.

by the time the segment is over, he’s completely out of breath, bent over in exhaustion. it had looked so much easier in the practice script, but it’s also so much more fun to do in actuality. it’s time to give out points, and wes is quite generous, giving him some points for looking like a mixture of a zombie and a hyperactive ape, but deducts him for not knowing what choreography he’s trying to imitate, ultimately leading him to a negative score.

chanyeol is quite the opposite, hard on his friend because he knows how good he is at dancing and how much easier it was for him. “120 points for skill, 30 points for technique,” he begins, only to turn it around, adding, “minus 90 for making me look worse, and minus 30 for that shirt.”

unfortunately, he’d miscalculated his math, which meant that wes still won in the end, with -20 points, but he thinks he’s okay with that as he laughs, out of the hilarity of the situation or because he’s pretty much tuckered himself out. 

the audition ends rather uneventfully, but as they both leave, wes wraps his arm around his shoulders, ruffling his hair. all of his life, chanyeol had been an older brother, an older figure, seen himself as someone who needs to protect others. it had been a while since he’d had a figure who could look over him, and when he realizes that’s why wes’ coming departure from the company is hitting him so hard, he does the only thing he knows how: he pushes the thought away for another day.

instead, he grins, giving wes a light gut punch, pretending it’s for showing him. “watch out. next time there’s a rap battle, i’m taking you down.”

never mind that there will likely not be a next time.
