A writing question that I’m always curious about: do you listen to any music or anything when you write? Spill on your ideal writing atmosphere pls
the way I have been waiting for someone to ask me this jfdksjfsljfkl ok let’s go
I always listen to music while writing my fics, I literally cannot function without music playing in the background, but what I’m listening to really depends on the fic. I listened to my fantasy playlist while writing the greatest of them all and I’ve continued to use it for keep the world at bay and sore loser, but when I was writing bad girls I was like “I need an entirely different vibe” so I put together a playlist that pulled from music that each of the girls like (and that I like skksksks) so it’s some Donna Summer, some Lauryn Hill, Chloe x Halle, Rina Sawayama, that sort of thing. 
and then I discovered Fleetwood Mac around the same time I started writing victory lap, so that fic was pretty much written while I had their whole discography on shuffle. 
I think I made a Jet playlist before I actually started writing a fic about him just because I thought there were a lot of songs that reminded me of him, but it’s been absolutely instrumental for me in writing not ready to make nice because it really helps me get in his head. that’s a lot of 90s alt rock, some Fleetwood Mac (they’re extremely versatile), some country, some rap, some pop, some emo, and a little bit of the Cowboy Bebop score. 
Tenzin fic was a bit of a weird case because I have no clue what music he would listen to but the only music that helped me through the massive amount of writer’s block I experienced writing that fic was 1) DAMN. by Kendrick Lamar 2) Ctrl by SZA 3) Willow’s self titled album 4) Living With Ghosts by Patty Griffin. about halfway through writing ch 2 of that I just decided to roll with it and put all the songs on a (since deleted) playlist, it was chaos but it worked. 
and the playlist for wuko fic is one of my faves so far! bc it’s set in Hong Kong I decided to educate myself a little bit on cantopop (which is pop music written and performed in Cantonese) as well as on musicians from/located in Hong Kong. and I’m SO GLAD I DID THAT BC OH MY GOSH IT’S SO GOOD. IT’S SO GOOD. I am LITERALLY obsessed with Leslie Cheung rn he was so freaking talented every song of his is an entire bop. and AGA is simply *chef’s kiss* I’m so obsessed. I have this vision of Jet playing a lot of Chet Lam and Leslie Cheung in the coffee shop partly because he likes them but also partly because they’re both queer artists, so the playlist has a lot of their work so I can really put myself in that environment. there’s a little Euro-American music in there as well, mostly Miley Cyrus and Rina. there’s also some pieces from the Hong Kong Philharmonic bc I think Mako’s a nerd who listens to classical music and also bc the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra is 100% going to appear in the fic. in addition to all of that Zone was kind enough to introduce me to The Jerry Cans and Tanya Tagaq, who both make an appearance on the playlist as well bc I think Korra and Sokka really enjoy their stuff. 
this turned into a whole thing let me stop jfdsjfl but to answer the question my ideal writing environment is Spotify premium invoking the characters or the setting or the vibe for me in some form or fashion.
ask me about my WIPs, complete fics, or writing process!

helloo!!! sorry i was offline for a while :( had some stuff to do which kept me from the internet :((
baby chick taeyang!! he really is <33333 aodufbvidb and grim reaper chani. tbh i havent watched any of chani's dramas (tried to watch sky castle but rich people irritate me :/) but thats sooo tragic
oh i totally agree with the platinum! like the contrast between a deeper skin tone and bright hair *chefs kiss*
all the teaser photos have been released by now :O do you have a favorite version? mines gotta be s version (with the white outfits). they look so good on the members and the clothes themselves are the most interesting i think
also i really hope we get more member produced songs on this album! zuho really makes some of the best music and i! need! more!
-fantasy friend :D
No worries; hope you’re doing well, anonnie!
I myself have been so busy with tests that I completely forgot to send anons to my receiver (?) this weekend ;-; tomorrow is the final day— then I can go back to clearing my blogs and sending anons/responding to you better as well!
I’m so glad you agree with the baby chick because though most people (a.k.a my personal fantasy friends) think of him more along the lines of an intimidating and extremely talented person (surprisingly none of them bias him zkddkfjffj while on tumblr I’ve seen everyone’s bias line/bias wreckers contain him & Hwi), I just think he’s cute and fun, also has a fresh + sweet vibe to him that makes me think of chicks!
Ah, Sky Castle is definitely worth tolerating the stinginess and superiority complexes of the rich; at least for me! I still hate Yeseo’s character so much (ง ื▿ ื)ว bratty girls are not my (and I believe anyone’s) cup of tea hehe but! The overall storyline and intricately woven mysteries into the plot made me stay (as well as my strong adoration for crime) & the fact that it focused on how the educational system is rigged/corrupt; how quite a few parents push their children’s limits and cover up their mistakes/violations to keep them the poster children they dreamt to have + the focus on how it slowly eats away at healthy familial relationships and completely destroys them all had me hooked! HAHA the ones I’ve watched so far with Chani are I think 3; and literally all three have his love interest dying which is sad, as you said but also lowkey hilarious XD
Actually, mine are the S versions too! I love the royal &innocent feel they have to them and their outfits were definitely one of the best in that shoot (´,,•ω•,,)♡ even though Inseong’s neck frill thingys were a tad weird to me at a closer look, they all looked amazing. All of the concepts were good but yeah, S it is my friend!
Yes! Sadly I don’t keep up with SF9 as much since that I have blogs I gif on for other groups I stan so my main focus is on their discography… I don’t know many b-sides from them except for the ones that have popped up in my discover playlist ^^; Fall In Love and Dreamer are on my favourite non-titles list though! Do you have any recs?
Ooh and new questions came out so: have you ever dreamt of SF9? If so, do you remember any of it/them?
