When they discover their s/o is a writer

Suho:

I think Junmyeon would be hella impressed. You are a thinker and he really appreciates someone who has their own opinions and thoughts about things in life. I don’t think it would matter much what subject or type of writing you do, he’s going to find it interesting. But for reaction's sake, we’ll go with mystery. I think Junmyeon is the type to really like having something that challenges him mentally and trying to figure out who stole the painting or who killed who would be right up his alley. Honestly, he wouldn’t so much pick your brain because he wants you to tell him who the killer or thief is, but more so he can hear all his thoughts out loud. He’s not looking for affirmation, he’s organizing his clues. Is it weird that I see him having a small journal that he dedicated to the mysteries of your books/series? Like he just jots down his thoughts and his predictions and sees if he’s right by the end. He’ll have it organized first by setting and then by character and then by major events. He’ll lay out all his growing evidence. He’ll cross off people who are innocent and make stars and/or notes next to those he still suspects. It doesn’t matter where he is, if he thinks he’s figured out the mystery Junmyeon will call you or text you or facetime/skype you excitedly. Junmyeon appreciates creativity, so a writer s/o would be perfect. “Jagi! I know who did it!” “Oh?” “Yeah!! I’m sure of it!” “You said that last week XD” “But I’m right this time!!! I know it!”

Baekhyun:

Look I’m not saying Baekhyun would be totally into horror, suspense thrillers, but that’s exactly what I’m saying. This guy would be all over that ish! Honestly, he’d be so surprised at first. You? A horror suspense writer? His jagi? Excited would be an understatement. He’ll want copies of all your past to present work! NOW! He has to dig in and devour the eerie scenes, the heart-pounding suspense! The faster his pulse is, the better. He also thinks it’s pretty sexy that you have a dark side. Honestly, he’ll want to explore the different characters, the way you developed them, why they are the way they are, who (if anyone) they’re based on, etc. I feel like Baekhyun takes his reading very seriously. I think he’d also be into writing back and forth with you, too. Like not in a ‘let’s publish this’ sort of way, but like you have created characters together, formed a whole world, and are just writing fun little short stories for the fun of it. I think this would excite him because he’d feel like he was exercising his mind and being creative, something that he really cherishes. However, if you are anything like me and you have zero problem with killing off main characters for story development, be prepared for a long whining session as to why this is the worst thing you could have done because ‘johnny deserved better’. Being a writer with Baekhyun would only spice up your relationship, to be honest. “Jagi! The new chapter was amazing!!” “You think so?” *eagerly nods* “I still think you should have just killed Joan off, but Henry was a good choice, too. He was whiney.” *cue laughter* “That’s not why I killed him!” “WELL, IT SHOULD BE!”

Chanyeol:

Literally your biggest fanboy! He thinks you being a writer is fantastic! It wouldn’t even matter what kind of writer you are, he’ll want to read everything you have. In a way it makes him feel closer to you. He feels like by reading your work, he’s somehow getting a deeper insight into you as a person. If you’re struggling with a chapter or a certain scene he’ll want you to use him as a pinboard, bouncing idea after idea off of him until something blossoms. Chanyeol understands better than most that while writing the proper inspiration has to manifest and that is something that can be elusive at times. Honestly, I see him being the type to beg you to either write him something he can take with him on tour or send him the new pages of whatever chapter you’re. Again, it probably makes him feel close to you, but imagine the discussions that would come out of this!! He’ll talk to you endlessly about different scenarios and characters. Especially the bad guys cuz jeez why do they have to be so mean. ‘MC is just living his life, Jagi! Why is BG so rude! It’s just not fair!’ Honestly, if you’re anything like me and you suddenly get awesome ideas for later parts or even just brand new material ideas and you stop dead in your tracks to record your fantastic idea in your phone, Chanyeol is going to fanboy hard because he thinks that so cute. You’re halfway through a conversation while walking Tobin and BAM! Inspiration! He thinks you’re so cute! He’ll want to know what your idea was so he can help flesh out the details. No idea is a bad idea. Just one that needs a little more love. “Omo! Jagi~~why did you do that to poor main character!!! My heart! How could you?!” “Chanyeol-ah, all he did was trip…” “But he broke his arm!!!!!!” “That happens sometimes, darling…”

D.O:

As we all know, Kyungsoo is the quieter one of the group. I think he really would enjoy a writer as a partner. He strikes me as someone who likes to read. Cliche, I know, but imagine if you were a food critic and/or blogger and most of your work is centered around food. We all know this guy loves to cook and bake, so this would just be a new perspective on something he already enjoys. Omg!! Think about it! He would totally take you to all sorts of restaurants, large or hole in the wall just so the two of you can critique the food that you both eat. If he’s on tour, I can totally see him running into a good eatery and wanting to share it with you, so if he can’t send you a bite, he’ll kindly ask the chef for the recipe so he could make it for you. SO CUTE!!! That and I can see him eating something and be totally disappointed because “it was headed in the right direction, but it’s missing something” and going home to cook the same dish just so he could figure out what the missing piece was. It would be extremely cute if you created a piece just around him Something like “My Boyfriend’s Kitchen” or something. Can you imagine if he proposed to you?? You would have to change that to “My Fiance’s Kitchen” OH THE SCANDAL!!! ;) “Kyungie, it’s really not that big of a deal.” *adamantly shakes his head* “No that dinner was awful. I can’t have that be your birthday dinner. I knew I should have just done it myself!” (plz love and cherish this nugget. Plz).

Kai:

I don’t know how much he reads, to be honest. I feel like he doesn’t mind reading a good book, but he’s a bit picky on his choices. An image that really stands out to me is romance. I feel like it would be his guilty pleasure. He really likes romance and love stories, but like not those icky raunchy stories! ‘It has to be a real love story, not a porno.’ Don’t ask me why I think this. I just do. So say as a writer you like to indulge in romantic comedy. It’s not my favorite, personally, but there are a few out there that are just adorable, it’s hard NOT to like them. I feel like for Jongin this would be about the same. Even so, I still feel like he doesn’t read a whole lot. Not because he’s not interested, but because he’s so busy dancing and doing other things. So, if you were to read some of your work to him, say while the two of you lounge around on a day off, he would be putty in your hands. He’d be so engrossed in the world and love story you created that he’d be almost sad when you’re forced to stop either by schedules or just some good ‘ole sleep. If he’s away on tour, he’ll facetime/skype you so you can read to him until he falls asleep. If you were to pre-record yourself reading the next part he’d be over the moon! Not only does he get to hear what happens next, but now he has your voice at his fingertips. Honestly, I don’t think you’d really understand how comforting that is for him. “Jagiyah, they get together in the end, right? That’s how it ends?” *looks up at you with those wide eyes* “You’ll have to wait and see” *BOOP HIS NOSE IT’S RIGHT THERE!!!* *ahem* “Aigo, but it’s so tense right now!” (cue whine and a tiny pout. Look I don’t bias him but he’s been adopted as my bro, okay? I love this kid!)

Sehun:

Surprisingly, I think Sehun would really appreciate some well written, beautiful poetry. I don’t know why I thought of this, but it kinda makes sense in my mind. Like Jongin, it’s kind of his guilty pleasure. I mean how cute would it be if he was originally your fanboy and he just messaged you out of the blue about one of your prose. It could be because it’s so beautiful and heartfelt, or it could be because he wanted to discuss the deeper meanings of the words. Even just because he’s confused or curious about a certain part. Either way, the rest is history. Sehun loves to read your poetry, but he also LOVES to listen to you recite it. There’s something about the way your voice wraps passionately around the words that he finds so endearing. Honestly, he could fall asleep to your gentle voice (and maybe some hair petting). I also think that Sehun would entertain the idea of dabbling in poetry himself, though he would be really shy about it. How cute would that be?? The two of you exchanging poetry like some old sappy romance movie. *dies of cuteness overload* “Omg! Sehun-ah, this is amazing!!” *blushes and looks sheepish* “It’s alright…” “It’s more than alright! This is beautiful! You did such an amazing job--,” *he’ll blush like a schoolboy the whole time you compliment all the different wonderful aspects of his work*

May I ask what songs you have on your Zero/X playlist? I need some good music to listen too while doing things. Hope the class is going/went okay!

Sorry for the late response So I was originally going to put this playlist up on 8tracks a few months ago, but then 8tracks changed how it does things and I lost interest, so this is just the playlist I keep on my computer for them. It wound up being a ZeroX playlist as well as a “songs I associate with some arcs of the game” playlist.

I’m still a little iffy about a few songs, but here’s the song list (+a few key lyrics) as it is right now + some of my commentary about the songs:

(Note: These songs aren’t necessarily in chronological order with the MMX games, I just like the way they sound when put together in this order)

Mars - Sleeping At LastWe were full of life, we could barely hold it in. We were amateurs at war, strangers to suffering.

There is goodness in the heart of every broken man, who comes right up to the edge of losing everything he has.There are so many quotes in this song I associate with these two, but I feel like some of them are obvious, so here’s two main stanzas. This song feels like a good introduction to the games and to X and Zero’s experience in the first Maverick War. Of course, only one of them made it out of that first war B’’’’).

All Who Remain – Beware of DarknessWhen you leave this life, the world will be a darker place for All Who Remain And the light you gave the human race will go away…

If I can’t have you in this life, then I don’t want this life at all Cause there’s nothing in this broken world that I’ll ever love as much

I called and I called but you never picked up, and I cried and I cried but you never woke up, you died and you died without asking me first, you left me all alone here on EarthThis song sorta has a double meaning for me. On the one hand, you can read it as a song about X post-X1 living without Zero, and on the other hand, you can read it as Zero fearing what would happen if X were to die (’’the light you gave the human race will go away’’, X is literally a son of Light as well as a light to humanity, or at least, he is in Zero’s eyes). This could also be a MM0-era Zero living in a world where X has died. The last lyric chunk ties so well into the later MMX games where Zero seals himself away and X has to deal with things without him. This isn’t a happy song I’m sorry.

But even in the end, no matter what happens, X and Zero are always the ones who are left behind, the ones who keep fighting no matter what horrible things happens, hence the “We are all, we are all who remain”, so the song isn’t necessarily all sad.

I Found – Amber RunI’ve moved further than I thought I could, but I missed you more than I thought I would

And I’ll use you as a makeshift gauge, of how much to give and how much to take Oh I’ll use you as a warning sign, that if you talk enough sense then you’ll lose your mind

Sort of a continuation of the last song. This song reminds me of how X and Zero rely on each other to keep themselves in check (consider X4 and X5). They’re canonically each other’s strengths and motivation, and this song reminded me of how always look to each other for support.

Love Love Love – Monsters and Men Well, maybe I’m a crook for stealing your heart away Yeah, maybe I’m a crook for not caring for it Yeah, maybe I’m a bad, bad, bad, bad person Well, baby, I know.

‘Cause you love, love, love when you know I can’t love you

So I think it’s best we both forget before we dwell on it The way you held me so tight, all through the night, ‘til it was near morningGGGGGGGGGGGOSH THIS IS THE FRICKIN SONG THAT STARTED IT ALL. It was this song that made me write my first fanfic for them, which spiraled into me writing / planning out over 10 fanfics + one series (it also made me create this playlist). It’s all because of this darn song. (I still haven’t posted that first fic I wrote for them based on this song because I want it to be one of the last ones I post).

Anyways, without getting into the details of the fic, the song reminds me of Zero’s thoughts on X, and Zero’s fear that he can’t live up to his own (and maybe X’s?) expectations of who he should be since he was created to be a warbot, not someone who can empathize with other people (like X was). BASICALLY: ZERO’S IDENTITY CRISIS, THE SONG.

What if the Storm Ends?SnowpatrolX –> Zero: The perfect halo of gold hair and lightning sets you off against the planet’s last dance Zero –> X: Just for a minute the silver forked sky lit you up like a star that I will follow

Be the lightning in me, that strikes relentless

One of the core songs of this playlist imo. If I had to summarize the playlist into only a handful of songs, this and the following song would definitely be in it.

Part of this song reminded me of how Zero described X as the sun in the MMX manga, and the line above always makes me think about how Zero’s always followed and trusted X, even when X was a new Hunter. I dunno how to explain this one, it’s just very them.

The End of All Things - Panic at the DiscoIn these coming years, many things will change But the way I feel will remain the same

Short song, but this was one of the first ones I put on the playlist and it always makes me think of them. It’s hard for me to explain this one too, but in any game or any timeline, X and Zero are always there for one another no matter what hardships they’re put through. That’s what this song makes me think of.

See You Again – Charlie PuthIt’s been a long day without you my friend and I’ll tell you all about it when I see you again. I’ll be waiting right here for ya ‘till the day you’re homeCarry on, give me all the strength I need to carry onTHIS ONE’S PRETTY SELF-EXPLANATORY but regardless, definitely an X –> Zero song that applies to so many frickin games, I mean come on Zero, how many times do you have to go and die on X. (This can also definitely be a post-“Zero is sealed away for 100+ years” song too).

Like Real People Do – HozierI will not ask you where you came from, I will not ask and neither should you

I like this song because it ties back to Zero and X’s fathers / their past. But no matter what their backgrounds are or who Zero was, X implicitly trusts Zero, and the feeling is mutual. (Now that I think about it, this song counters “Love Love Love” and Zero’s POV).

Nothing Left to Say – Imagine DragonsZero: Who knows how long I’ve been awake now? The shadows on my wall don’t sleep, They keep calling me, Beckoning…

X: Who knows what’s right? The lines keep getting thinner. My age has never made me wise, But I keep pushing on and on and on and on…

If you could only save me, I’m drowning in the waters of my soul

Admittedly when I first put this song on the list, it was just to have it act as a transition between the last song and the next one, but it’s grown on me it fits so many fandoms and characters though. The whole song frickin works for them, but the first half especially.

To me, this song bridges the end of X4 and X5 together. X and Zero both went through hell in X4, having to kill a whole group of people who (technically) weren’t Maverick, and they don’t really have a chance to recover before X5 happens. They both ended up questioning whether they’re doing the right thing, and although they’re still relying on one another for support to get through it, with all the self-doubt and tension at the middle / end of X5, this song easily leads into…

Unwanted Battle – X vs. Zero

Great remix of their battle theme from X5. The artist said their intention was to “make the song more fitting for a fight between two close friends” and BOY DID THEY NAIL IT.

Chasing Cars – The Wind and The WaveI don’t quite know how to say how I feelThose three words are said too much, they’re not enough

All that I am, all that I ever was, is here in your perfect eyes, they’re all I can see I don’t know where, confused about how as well, just know that these things will never change for us at all

Ehh I’m still a little iffy about this song for them, but I still really like the song itself and those specific lyrics (though as of right now I’m not sure it suits them anymore). This makes me think of post-battle X5 (when they’re both KO’ed) before everything takes an even sharper turn downhill.

We’re Still Here – Sleeping At LastYou were on a frequency, the perfect opposite of meThough I never needed any proof to trust the heart that beats inside of you.

Through the static, through the ashes, we were brave. Through the perils of endless narrow escapes, we’re still here. We’re still here.

Sleeping At Last always kills me, and this song especially (I used to think the lyrics at one part said “there is pain within your memory, the origins of our family tree” and I was like “THAT”S PERFECT”. Apparently it’s “pigment” not “pain within” but REGARDLESS). I thought this sweet / sad song was a perfect way to end their playlist. No matter what canon says, (though apparently MM ZX technically confirms this) Zero and X are still around and still together, in one form or another :’)

There’s a few others that could work for them / a lot more songs I associate with them (like SPG’s “Honeybee” or “Love Like You” but these are the ones I currently have on their playlist. I’ve been putting together a playlist for X, but I’m not sure if/when that’ll ever be finished, so in the meantime I recommend greyfishes’ “Endless Fight” playlist, which is to date my favorite X playlist ever (a few of those songs I would’ve added to this playlist, but I’ll just direct you to the ‘Endless Fight’ playlist).Sorry this reply took so long, but I didn’t want to drop the list without explaining a few all of them!

#replies #ZeroX #XZero #MMX #No escape from gay robot hell #anon #Had to write this all down in one-go since if I saved it to my drafts it’d never be found again #The goofy song I also associate with them is ''Everytime we touch'' by Cascada because it came on my playlist while I was drawing their fir #so it's forevermore their song long lmao #but back to what I said at the end of the list- there are more songs I associate w/ them #but these feel like the best fit #Anonymous #this is a suuuuuuuuuuuper personal list so I understand if other people don't necessarily agree with my choices #i talk #song recs #music rec
