WHAT A GREAT QUESTION, ANON! I have been wildly (and uncharacteristically for me, an ex omegaverse hater) obsessed with omegaverse Exos since I got into Exo, and my thoughts on them recently changed drastically, so what good timing you have!

I’ll first start with saying that I don’t like betas, and never include them in any thoughts about omegaverse. I just think they’re boring– though I do have friends who have managed to make them VERY interesting; I just think I don’t have anything insightful or interesting to say about them myself.

And for a second note, I think it’s important to describe what I think omegaverse is for really: because it has many meanings that change based on who’s writing in it. For me, omegaverse makes most sense as a formalization of power dynamics. One could make the argument that it’s inherently kinky (and in fact, I do). It’s less about inherent sexuality OR gender, and more about inherent power structures and how someone could play with them. This is not to say that interesting discussions can’t happen in omegaverse about sexuality or gender– because they absolutely can and do, but I think mostly, it’s about biological power, in a way that our actual society thinks exists and tries to enforce (violently and forcefully), that is actually made real via omegaverse.

For the Fandom Olds among us, this interpretation would not come as a surprise, considering omegaverse took the place of BDSM AUs in fandom!

A third note, all of my omegaverse content always and forever will be poly! Poly packs 5eva!!!

ANYWAY, EXOS!

[vibrates] they are pack, your honor…

Pack alpha: Minseok

Alphas: Junmyeon, Jongdae, Chanyeol, Kyungsoo

Omegas: Yixing, Baekhyun, Jongin, Sehunnie

Minseok:

As the oldest, and from the fact that Minseok in canon refused to be Exo-M’s leader, it just makes so much sense for him to be the pack alpha but not the band leader. He has the character of a supervisor dom. He’s not involved with everyone in the band and entangled with them– because, frankly, they are too loud and too messy, and he has no energy to deal with so many people needing his attention and involvement. But he is a steady presence that they can all depend on. He listens to their problems and pets them about them. He scruffs the alphas into place when necessary (and reassures them that even if they fuck up, he’ll be there to help), and spends time with the omegas when they need him, and makes sure that their needs are taken care of and that they don’t feel too lost in the pack.

I’m pretty sure that even in omegaverse, Minseok is queer, and he probably prefers alphas to omegas; less mess, and more satisfaction in bringing them to heel.

Naturally, the person he’s closest to in the pack is Jongdae, this is canon in any and all universes. They’re the gossip husbands, drinking late at night and talking about the rest of the band like two intensely invested aunties, but being steady and gentle with the others the rest of the time. They probably sleep together, but they’re definitely not monogamous, and as in canon, probably are both aware that Jongdae would actually like to settle down with a mate at some point.

Minseok spends the omegas’ heats with them if they want him to, as do all the alphas– because the Exos are all very very busy and alternate being with the omegas depending on their schedules. His favorite is probably Sehunnie though, because Sehun is whiny but pliant and obedient in heat; the rest are complicated (will get to them!)

Junmyeon:

I imagine him to be as neurotic in omegaverse as he is in canon. He’s a sadist and is terrified of this fact. He takes his job as leader so seriously that it fucks with his head and makes him make very strange personal decisions. He’s an alpha and a dom, but the fact that he’s so scared of his sadism makes him show his belly to his pack and try so hard to be gentle and soft that the overcorrection makes him seem awkward instead.

I think, if I were to transplant canon onto omegaverse, that Junmyeon did not overcorrect so hard until a while after debut; because at first he would punish the Exos for mistakes as harshly as a supervisor, and oooof that probably gave him such a headrush that it turned into kink for him IMMEDIATELY.

Junmeon is Like This in canon really, so what makes omegaverse so much worse for him is that it formalizes all the power dynamics in head in a way that makes it so easy to take advantage of. And he is so convinced the sadism makes him a bad person, that having omegas begging for him in heat, crying and in pain without him even having to do a single thing to them except be there, simply would take him to pieces. Just imagine canon Junmyeon with the power to bite someone and claim them biologically forever… the man wrote the Exos’ names on his damn body, he would lose his fucking mind!!!

Anyway, I think therefore, that Junmyeon is terrified MOST of Baekhyun and Yixing, the resident omega masochists in the band– and to an extent, Chanyeol, who is a masochist but not omega. So, I would imagine him being SO WEIRD with all three of them. Too strict and mean to Chanyeol, and so wary as to almost be avoidant of Yixing, and strangely both overprotective and overconfident in Baekhyun.

Hilariously, he and Sehun click very comfortably, because Sehun isn’t a masochist or a sub. He’s just very into being indulged and having things done for him and to him, and it makes him vibe enough like a sub that it’s hot, but not enough to terrify Junmyeon or cause him to have intense sadistic emotion about Sehun. This also means they’re not super compatible actually lmao, they’re just comfortable enough that they stick together.

I think Junmyeon and Minseok have an interesting relationship, where Minseok would like to be hyung and head alpha for Junmyeon but Junmyeon is too weird about being perceived to be submitting to anyone that whenever Minseok tries to support him, Junymeon just pretends to be Fine™ harder.

Generally though, Junmyeon is a good leader. He’s incredibly competent when it comes to the band’s relationships with management, and he’s incredibly protective and invested in the wellbeing of his pack members. All of his weirdness sort of impacts him internally, but it works to present him the way he desires his image to be externally.

Yixing:

[vibrates] He… the baby…

He’s an omega and a sub. He came into the band with much Trauma™ (familial, as in canon D: ), which made him need so much affection and love that it makes him seem hungry. He pushes himself so hard that it makes him ill often, and it makes it difficult to care about him, because to do so means people have to constantly love him and see him be hurt. He doesn’t have the instincts that lets him trust people to catch him if he falls, so he simply always feels that he’s on his own, even if he isn’t.

In omegaverse, he probably has very difficult heats. Trauma and hormone fuckery do not go well together in any universe, so his heats probably fuck with his emotions massively. And the fact that most of his injuries are spine-related, means that his pelvic floor is just fucked, and would mean his heats actually physically hurt!!!!

The emotional part means that during his heats, he clings so hard to the people next to him to make sure they don’t leave, that he leaves bruises and scratch marks. He probably cries and howls if any of the alphas get up to get him food because he’s scared they’re not coming back and that he’ll be abandoned. He probably wants to be mated and sobs when he isn’t, even though outside of heat he would know it would be a bad idea to mate.

The physical part means he’s in miserable (very unusual) pain throughout.

This makes it a large ordeal to deal with for the pack. Especially considering they are all so tired and so busy and barely have time to rest anyway. And the fact that they have a rotational system for alphas spending time with the in-heat omegas so they don’t miss schedules, which in Yixing’s case simply doesn’t work.

They do love him, but he’s difficult to help. It stresses everyone out and makes the alphas feels horrible and bad at their jobs.

Yixing probably gets on suppressants at some point and simply never comes off them, especially when he starts spending more time in China without any pack around :(

Outside of heat, he smells sweet and is comforting to be around. He’s so skin hungry that he’ll always want to cling to a pack member when they’re home, which they are only happy to do. And he’s good at being hyung to the younger members. He’s also massively good at his job as an artist, it just, you know, kills his body oops… TT

Being away from the pack does make everything worse for him, though. It’s a sore subject for Junmyeon and Minseok especially, that they let one of their pack omegas run off that way where they can’t help him at all. It makes everyone sad.

[Cake lies down on the floor] Yeah… Yixing…

Baekhyun:

He’s an omega, a sub, and a sadist (masochist too, fun combo!) Baekhyun is highly invested in being important to everyone. He wants to be loved so much that he wants to own all the Exos and be owned by all of them, but he’s very aware of how this sounds so he’s just privately insane about this, but publicly all jokey and fun, rather than deeply intense.

The fact that he’s a sadist makes him a strange omega for alphas. So, I bet Baekhyun enjoys being with the omegas most often– bet it almost makes him think he’s like Minseok, and likes omegas more than alphas; but that’s not true. What he really needs is an alpha who would put a hand on his neck and put him in his place but also lets him bite and scratch and be mean to them as well. He needs to sub for his health and well being, but he also needs to feel that it’s safe to sub by being allowed to do horrible things to his alpha/dom and feel like he has power in the relationship. Subbing is so so vulnerable for Baekhyun, it makes him terrified to his bones, but he also wants it really badly.

Anyway, as in canon lmao, Minseok finds Baekhyun too messy and difficult to deal with, so he just flirts and toys with him a little, and probably sleeps with Baekhyun during heats if he’s needed, but doesn’t really let Baekhyun in his bed outside of heat.

Chanyeol is too vulnerable to deal with Baekhyun’s barbed wire words and pointy claws, he takes it too personally, and Baekhyun has to be careful around him. Though when Baekhyun is careful, they’re good friends, and Baekhyun does enjoy sleeping with him and toying with him a little.

Sehunnie is probably Baekyun’s go-to for sex outside of heats (points to the unreal amounts of Baekhyun biting Sehun photos in canon.)

Junmyeon and and Baekhyun are insanely compatible but they have no idea. Junmyeon is terrified of being too much and hurting people but if he actually does hurt Baekhyun (sexy), Baekhyun would lose his goddamn mind. Because Baekhyun needs intensity most of all, he needs to feel like his partner is obsessed with him: and Junmyeon is the most intense person in this band.

Kyungsoo and Baekhyun probably have good sex, but Kyungsoo has absolutely no tollerance for Baekhyun trying to exercise power– which is hot! But you know, it doesn’t let Baekhyun relax entirely with him. It’s the same with Jongdae probably, except Jongdae is nicer about it.

Chanyeol:

He’s an alpha but he’s not interested in holding power over people, it makes him deeply uncomfortable. He’s not a dom, and not a sub, but he does enjoy power games when they’re meant to bring people closer together and build trust.

He frequently goes through periods of being super insecure about how he presents as an alpha, and trying to be more masc and domineering, but it only ever ends up making him feel worse. And during those periods, he often feels like going to the other alphas for help and support is a weakness and tries to do everything himself, including figuring out his own mental blocks– this almost never works.

He clashes with Junmyeon a lot, because he both wants Junmyeon’s attention and admiration and praise, and wants Junmyeon’s to see him as an alpha and respect his authority, and Junmyeon is, as stated before, WEIRD about power things!!!

Though Minseok knows how to be good to Chanyeol and often compensates where Junmyeon fails. So does Jongdae, though he spent a while not really understanding why Chanyeol is the way he is and why he struggles with the things he struggles with.

Kyungsoo’s steadiness and assuredness in himself makes him a good friend to Chanyeol. It helps to look to Kyungsoo when Chanyeol is in flux and feels like nothing is static enough to hold onto.

Sechan are like canon Sechan, naturally. They are weird about power dynamics together in a way that helps both of them. It makes Chanyeol feel at ease that he’s not holding any power via the fact that he’s alpha or hyung over Sehun, and it makes Sehun happy to feel like he holds Chanyeol’s leash and can make him do whatever he wants. What Sehun often wants Chanyeol to do though, is to take care of things for him: take care of food and buying things, and making sure Sehun is comfortable, to fuck Sehun well and not make Sehun do things, and to praise Sehun in front of other people and let Sehun bask in the fact that he’s getting everything he wants. All of this makes Chanyeol feel good and useful and like a good alpha! It’s great!

Jongdae:

He’s one of the people I hesitated for a very long time before assigning an omegaverse dynamic to. I eventually settled on alpha because he’s a caretaker and – although subtle– is actually a little bit of a control freak. He also finds too much contentment in, for example, calming Baekhyun down and making him behave, for him not to be some sort of flavor of dom.

He and Minseok fit well together because they both respect hierarchies a lot, and they respect inner pack workings. They also have the same casual but firm way that they approach their own internal moral compasses. They’re both stubborn and hard to convince to change, which makes them both comfortable, considering they are also both very influential and find it easy to change other people just by being around. They make each other feel safe to exercise the full breadth of their inherent power without the threat that this would affect the other in any way.

The fact that they are both doms, however, makes them incompatible long-term as sexual and romantic partners, even though they adore each other and probably do sleep together often. It’s a fact they are both aware of– though I am unsure if they both feel the axact same way about it. I change my mind often about this. Is Minseok sadder than Jongdae about this? Are they both just Fine? Don’t know. I’m not a Xiuchenist for real, but I do believe in them! So, I find myself thinking about this often.

Jongdae, like Minseok, finds Baekhyun too much to deal with. But he finds Junmyeon funny and gets less stressed out about the fact that Junmyeon won’t let him help than Minseok does. Because Jongdae isn’t the pack leader and he’s younger, he finds it easier to insert himself into Junmyeon’s business and meddle sometimes, without stepping to hard on Junmyeon’s toes.

He is soft with Yixing, and is sad for him, but Jongdae is very strict with himself about things which he cannot change, so he doesn’t let himself dwell on this often.

It took him a few years to understand Chanyeol’s little neuroses but he did eventually, so now he knows how to care for Chanyeol and that satisfies him greatly.

He’s generally very gentle and full of advice and pets for all younger and older pack members.

He has a stroke of sadism in him, but it’s not consuming like Junmyeon’s is, and he’s Normal about it. It’s very to do with sex for him, rather than his personality.

Kyungsoo:

He’s an alpha, and he’s possessive as fuck. He’s also a very sensible person, and has decided very early on that he will not be getting romantically involved with any of his members because they’re all insane and they’ll drive him out of his mind if he wants to go full possessive alpha on them!

He does think Jongin is incredibly hot and is very soft with him. He’s also known to be soft with Sehun, though he’d never admit to it.

He’s a neutral party in the pack, though he has a deep sense of justice and will stand with whoever he thinks is wronged in an argument.

I don’t have many Ksoo thoughts, he gives me a headache, his personality is impenetrable! Sorry 🙈

Jongin:

You might have noticed I’ve not spoken much about him with the other members, and that’s because I firmly believe that, while he is a part of this pack, he’s bonded to Taemin. Taemin is his alpha, and they are each other’s persons. Jongin only spends heats with the pack when Taemin is unavailable.

In the Exo pack, Nini is soft and baby. He lounges over the alphas and scents the other omegas and takes care of them. But he’s also stubborn and strong, and because he’s been mated for such a long time, thinks that all the others and their weird relationship problems are so tiring and silly!

That’s why he gets on with Kyungsoo a lot. Kyungsoo does not have weird relationship problems, because he simply has no messy relationships in the band XD They get to make fun of the others from their little cocoon.

Nini knows how to depend on the others to help him, and he’s very good at being a stabalizing and sensible influence in the pack.

Him and Taemin make each other so much better, and take care of each other’s needs so well that Nini effectively doesn’t need a pack. They just add to his life and he adores them. It makes him a very steady presence.

Sehun:

He effectively takes the role of a pack omega but not because he needs it, because the pack does. It’s good for them to have someone they can spoil and love this way. He gives them the opportunity of all feeling like they get to take care of him and be good for the pack by doing so; and by doing so, he gets to comfort them and take care of them without them feeling like they’re asking for care.

Sehun has large emotions about the pack, he needs all of them, and feels like they all need each other. He’s mostly quiet about it, though, he’s not a words person. He just flops in someone’s lap when he’s having emotions.

As in canon, he’s been in love with Chanyeol for years, but it takes them an insanely long time to work out what they are to each other. This lands Sehun in Junmyeon and Baekhyun’s beds often.

He’s an omega, but not a sub or a dom. Like Chanyeol, he enjoys toying with power dynamics broadcast trust. Though he would melt into the center of the earth if Chanyeol bit him and mated him. And he would die if Chanyeol had a collar on and let himself be ordered around by Sehun. It’s all very deeply unusual and not standard bdsm XD

I feel like I talked about Sehun’s relationships with the other members throughout the answer above, so I won’t repeat them here!

Anyway… wow that was long. Anon, I am so sorry if this is way more than you expected!!! I hope you enjoy it regardless!!!!!!!! I have many thoughts about this, clearly! XD

#cake answers #exo meta #wow that was so fucking long #I have many exo emotions!

ur mind so so smexy the way u plot these, literally on the edge of my seat as i study for a test BUTTT i tried figuring out who tapped who && if theres a chance that hoon can get in:

sungjin —> yn

theres two theories why i think sungjin chose yn, its bcos of jay lowke if he has an inkling that jay likes yn he can screw over hoon which is kinda far fetched cus how could sungjin know but theres a possibility

theres more potential in yn && can light up hoon even more in a weird twisted way —> its fucked up yes and possibly screws up hoon BUT imagine ending up as a ceo in ur fams company without having to go thru the order!

commonality i do think hes trying to mentally manipulating hoon which is thru his ex gf (question: does hoon still has feelings for yn?)

jennie: TBA — assuming she hasnt chosen anyone, im betting its hoon

jaehyun —> hee

i agree w gigi & jay that hee was most likely trying to screw over jay, to an extent, unintentionally however i do think hee is threatened by jay cus 1) was able to catch the attention of the love of his life in a matter of months when he knew her forever 2) suddenly was accepted in the old money scene when it took such a long time for him

joshua —> my wild guess that he chose sunoo! instinct with no evidence or theory as to why HAHA**

jeonghan —> jay

tbh i expected it bcos from the scenes you provided, it seemed like jay was socializing w jh more && i think him not really prioritizing jh’s seat kinda made him more authentic to jh if that made sense

irene —> karina? im only basing this because irl theyre leaders in sm ents girl groups BAHAHAHAHAH

wonwoo —> gigi

seulgi —> ningning

this what made me think as to irene tapping karina or karina mentioned who tapped her & i forgot

minghao: na

baekhyun: na

sehun: na

jisoo —> changmin

doyeon—> yeonjun? idt he mentioned who tapped but ik he was sleeping with one of them && theyre the same age irl so maybe im not that far of

** sunoo’s could be joshua - minghao - baekhyun - sehun & u mentioned eunseok is also part of who got tapped

correct me if im wrong w the canon taps but yeah ! my theory is that hoon will get tapped but thru unexpected means

omg no YOUR mind is sexy like this analysis????? WHOA! also i hope your test went well ml !! 🫶 actually i can confirm some of these for you since the new chap is coming out soon + not exactly hiding some of these LMFAO

i can't give much about sungjin away, though your theories are v good 🫣 but i can confirm that hoon does still have feelings for mc !! he's just trying to respect the breakup but he definitely isn't over it yet

also,, i actually did have irene tap karina and seulgi tap ningning LMFAOOO saw right through me there 😭 also yes yeonjun was sleeping with doyeon ! 🫣

Making a Splash

Genre: Canon, Fluff

Characters: You x Kyungsoo

Warnings: None

Word Count: 968

Summary: You accompany Kyungsoo and the other EXO boys on a vacation and find yourself caught up in a compromising position with Kyungsoo in the pool (totally innocent though, so no worries!).

A/N: I received a request from a lovely anon for a Kyungsoo drabble inspired by the recent episodes of EXO’s Travel the World. I hope you like it and if you enjoy what you’ve read, please like, re-blog or comment so that others can find it more easily. Thanks!

*Credit for GIF goes to do-kyngsoo*

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Did a vacation sound fun? Yes.

Did a free vacation sound fun? Heck, yes.

Did you know exactly what you were getting into when you climbed into a van with five boys who together radiate the most chaotic energy you’ve ever seen? Mayyyyyybe not.

Between Sehun’s constant whining about everything from the choice of music to how hot or cold the van is, and Suho’s attempts at being a backseat driver, you are honestly drained by the time you reach Namhae. You can only imagine how much higher the decibel level in the car would be had EXO’s resident megaphones, also known as Chen, Baekhyun, and Chanyeol, not been absent. The only saving grace is that Kyungsoo has insisted on driving and has commandeered the passenger seat for you, citing concerns with having you sandwiched between “the children in the backseat”.

Finally reaching Namhae (with most of your sanity intact), you take a well-deserved nap in your room before you venturing out to explore the expansive villa that is (partially) yours for the weekend. You stumble upon Xiumin, Sehun, Suho, and Kai all snoozing in various locations around the house. The sound of water draws you to the patio where you find Kyungsoo gracefully treading water in the pool. You move to sit by the side of the pool, dipping your toes into the cool water. Kyungsoo paddles over, pulling himself up onto his elbows to rest beside you.

“It’s so relaxing out here–very serene,” you say, remarking on the sound of the cicadas and the calm, solitude of the clear water against your feet.

“And quiet”, Kyungsoo agrees, “a nice place to get away from all the noise.”

From anyone else, those words would’ve hurt–insinuating you were being loud and intrusive– but you knew Kyungsoo well enough to know he didn’t mean it that way. Still, you could be respectful if the man wanted some time by himself.

“Oh–I’m sorry if I interrupted your alone time, Kyungsoo,” you say sincerely. “I’ll just head back into the house and see if any of the guys are awake.” You pull your feet from the water, ready to stand, when a surprisingly warm hand reaches out to stop you.

“No, wait! I didn’t mean you, I was talking about them”, he clarifies, nodding his head towards the patio door.

Your heart warms at his words. “I definitely know what you mean,” you chuckle. A moment of silence falls over the two of you and you watch as Kyungsoo pushes off from the side, gliding to the middle of the pool.

“Are you wearing a swimsuit?” Kyungsoo’s dark eyes are on you, beckoning you into the water like a beacon.

Breathlessly, you nod, grateful you’d thought to put your bikini on under your sundress. Pulling your dress over your head, you slip into the water. Making your way to the middle of the pool to Kyungsoo, you tread water together silently.

“Are you tired?” Kyungsoo asks suddenly.

Nodding your head, you’re confused when Kyungsoo touches down to the bottom and beckons you over. “I’ll support you for a bit.” He opens his arms, waiting for you to float into them.

You give him a look of disbelief and he returns it with a small smile. Cautiously, you drift over, yelping in surprise when one arm comes around your back, the other under your legs. Snug against his body, you aren’t exactly sure how things lead to you being princess-style carried by Kyungsoo in the middle of a pool. Not that you were complaining by any means. However, as you “rest” in Kyungsoo’s arms you feel a wave of awkwardness wash over you. What sort of conversation did one have in this situation? You weren’t great at small talk and goodness knows Kyungsoo wasn’t either.

“This is a little awkward, huh?” Kyungsoo starts, putting into words what you had been thinking.

“Yeah, maybe a little.”

“I can change that,” Kyungsoo challenges.

Before you can formulate a response, Kyungsoo tightens his grip on, spinning you around in circles, before ceremoniously dunking you into the water. You sputter as water splashes vigorously around you from the upset.

“Kyungsoo!”, you shout in mock betrayal, “How could you?” Not even a ‘one for the money, two for the show’?!”

“But it’s not awkward anymore, right?” Kyungsoo shrugs his shoulders, a sheepish smile on his face.

“Yeah, I guess–”

You gasp, feeling the tie of your bikini give way. You quickly grasp your top, attempting to hold the cups in place before you reveal your goods to the world.

“Kyungsoo–my bikini untied…”

“Well that is awkward.”

If you’d had a free hand you would have given him a well-deserved, playful smack.

Abruptly serious, Kyungsoo shifted his weight, releasing your legs so you could stand upright. “Turn your back to me and I’ll fix it. I’m not looking, I promise.”

You pivot to face away from him, waiting for him to complete his task. You feel his hands gently grasp the strings, working to double-knot the long strands.

“Hey Kyungsoo, we were thinking it was time to–”

You look up to see Sehun and Kai standing at the edge of the pool, clearly awake from their naps, and also clearly misunderstanding the situation.

“ –we were thinking that it was a good time for the two of us to leave,'' Sehun finishes, roping Kai around the shoulder and pulling him back towards the door with a “Carry on, you two” over his shoulder.

Going as quickly as they came, you stand there in shock until your suit is situated where it should be. Looking at each other, you both collapse into a fit of giggles at the hilarity of the situation, knowing the two younger members were no doubt relaying all they saw to the older members back in the house.

You can at least say, for one thing, that a vacation with EXO is never boring.

open to many more pairings !!

» some plot au & dynamics to consider — downton abbey, old hollywood, mafia, hogwarts, enemies to lovers, reluctant allies dynamic, forbidden lovers, royal x servant, 80s italian summer ( think ' call me by your name ' but the age difference is legal ), 1920s to 1990s, rivals dynamic, crime / on the run au, difference in social status of some sort, bridgerton s2 kathony but make it gay, supernatural verses, knight x servant, vampire au, single parent, hannigram, kpop stars in the same group, detectives / sherlock and watson type private investigators, twilight au, noble x noble, sugar daddy, fake dating, college au, medieval era, modern day actors falling in love, lawyer / murder husbands, fantasy, pokemon au, hamptons / rich kids au, werewolves, legal age gaps, ceo / secretary, time travel ( twinkling watermelon kdrama ), victorian era, amc interview with the vampire au, royal x knight, vampire / werewolf, enemies in love, omegaverse, roommates, businessman au, vampire clans, detective partners, bodyguard, slice of life. also transmigration /reincarnation / historical royalty / manhwa like operation: true love, inso's law, and more!! / isekai manhwa inspired stuff (example. death is the only ending for the villain, raising a black dragon, surviving as a maid, a false confession, remarried empress and more!) — open to a variety of isekai and non-isekai manhwa.

but that said, i don’t ghost, it would be preferable if the writing partner didn’t as well. communication is key !

YR and RWRB are really so much stuff I like to write, or used to write(I don't think I have in a hot minute). I love writing famous people or rich people, I like exploring sneaking around, especially around the media and just exploring the themes. I love writing rich families and be it supportive or harsh or inbetween(I'm looking at you, the Takatsuki family, I've written ya'll so many ways). I LOVE looking at real estate in other countries and flight times between two locations and all that shit. Also anxiety as a theme.

But also the sense of friendship and found family that especially RWRB has.

Like idk what it is about it but something about those themes are just so interesting. The sneaking around, the higher concequences of more people finding out, planning trips be it together or to be together and it may not be for long, but making the most of those precious days.

(Some things I'm thinking of is a actor RPF Nascar AU and traveling on the weekend/home base in NC with the son of the sponsor vibe that was SO MUCH FUN to write following an IRL schedule and private jets and motorhomes as second homes and a trip to LA and dates in Charlotte with private booths and I just had so much fun. It had so much research but was one of my favorite writings.

Also I wrote some canon verse Kpop fic. Like Chanyeol flying from Korea to Japan for an overnight to see Mackenyu when in was speculated they were seeing each other because Chanyeol was doing a lot of sus trips to Japan back then. Or Sehun and his chef sneaking around behind the hyungs and company. Stolen dinners at the bar of Suke Table and flirting over meals and then a proper kinda date. I never got to their obvious 2017 shit but I like to write they had been dating for over a year at that point and had either broken up and just gotten back together/having a honeymoon period or something had happened to cause them to attempt the glass closet thing which they later retreated, but until the pandemic they were pretty consistently lowkey, but they did their yearly charity thing this year and Sehun is still friends with Suke's close friend so *shrugs*

I have a lot of Thoughs on that theory but it's treated as a joke cause how dare Sehun fall in love with someone not stereotypically attractive and-)

As you can tell I love this brand but not like Hollywood/LA, but my own niches. I think I'll enjoy the European royal families.

anonymous said : Hello! Do you have any male Kpop fc recommendations (around 20s) that gives off so much Teen Wolf OC or Canon character vibes? Thanks a lot 👻

hey love, while we’re happy to help, we just wanted to note that at the end of the day we hope your muse is for a character rather than a group of potential fcs, so please keep that in mind when applying. that being said, here’s a list of fcs that may fit the vibe you’re looking for, as well as some characters that would be playable with one of these fcs.

for fcs, you could consider kim mingyu, choi san, lee taeyong, jung jinyoung, do kyungsoo, jung jaewon, cha eunwoo, kim jongin, oh sehun, or bang chan.

and those fcs may work for a variety of original characters, as well as the canon teen wolf characters of liam dunbar, jordan parrish, aiden steiner, ethan steiner, or jackson whittemore!

Music Monday #215: Xiumin - Brand New release: September 2022 genre: Kpop

Now that I'm back to doing these, got so much catching up to do it's hard to know where to start. But whatever else I may or may not be, I can't entirely escape being an EXO-L and really, who can resist mochi cheeks? ;)

Over the years, Xiumin has made a handful of appearances as a soloist in connection with various K-drama OSTs, perhaps most notably Moonlovers - Scarlet Heart Ryeo, plus a Station collaboration with Mark of NCT. As a part of EXO, he's both a skilled vocalist and dancer, but not necessarily a stand out in either - which, when your teammates include Baekhyun, D.O, and Chen and your comfort zone is also ballads, then what are you going to do? Keep going steadily forward ... and take a two year break to do your military service. ;)

When we got Kai's solo debut at the end of 2020 and the ending scene was basically an announcement that D.O and Xiumin would be back soon (which was true, since they were ending their military service periods within a couple months of "KAI"'s release), the speculation started almost immediately. Was it going to be solo projects to continue the trend? Another full(ish) EXO comeback, like Obsession? Another special subunit like EXO-CBX and EXO-SC? What we eventually got - a special anniversary comeback and promises for solo activities from both, led to a lot of (im)patient waiting for another Xiumin solo single, somewhat tempered by knowing he was finding personal and professional fulfilment as a cast member of a Korean production of Hadestown. If you had asked me before Brand New's release what I was expecting from Xiumin's solo "debut," I'm not sure what I would have said ... but title track "Brand New" wasn't it and I mean that in the best way possible. Given his previous singles were largely OST tracks, I suppose I was expecting a ballad, so to instead have a happy, pop-y EDM song as the lead track was a bold choice. "Brand New" is a statement track, all about making a new start and showing a new side of one's self, and Xiumin gives great energy throughout. Perhaps unsurprisingly, given who we're talking about here, the video is packed full of lore references that I'm still unpacking myself. We've been so starved for EXOplanet content in this post-Obsession world, so like always it's nice to see those callbacks, from the use of Xiumin's power (ice) to the EXO hand sign in the dance routine at the end of the choruses. That said, the story of the Legends remains rather stuck and theories are all over the place while we continue to wait for someone, somewhere in SM to officially un-fuck the 12 Legends storyline. This doesn't put a single toe towards doing that and in fact if I were pressed to give an answer, I would probably file this under "Ice Legend in The Dream" as far as how it connects, but even that is entirely based on my trying to work out some answers for why we have some limited confirmation that X-EXO has/had a clone of Xiumin but no canonical explanation for why the clash between EXO and X-EXO has so far only been demonstrated via "Obsession," so only 6 forces - Fire (Chanyeol/Chanyeøl), Light (Baekhyun/Baëkhyun), Teleportation (Kai/Kāi), Water (Suho/Suhø), Storm (Chen/Chën), and Wind (Sehun/Sehůn). For story purposes, having Xiumin injured and dreaming is a reasonable cover for his absence and could help explain the implication at the end of Obsession that our heroes have lost. Brand New has been out for awhile now and it's the shorted eighteen minutes of the late summer, but what can you do? Well, play it twice, I suppose. ;) A quick YouTube search yields about two weeks of music show stages and every one of them is adorable because what do you mean that's the face of a 32 year old and not that of a 20-something kid?? Want to see Music Monday deep dives more often? Sponsor a song selection! For the low, low price of one (1) KoFi, I'll write up the song of your choice. ANY song of your choice. Yes, even that one that's been played to death. Yes, your obscure faves too. With sponsors, I can stop skipping weeks and falling further and further behind in the releases! Sponsor a current CB for the next open Music Monday slot or sponsor a throwback for a Thursday feature! But seriously, if you've been enjoying my selections and analyses, we (me and the foster kittens) would love a KoFi in thanks. DW | Twitter | Ko-fi | Patreon | Discord | Twitch
