MMMMMMEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRYYYYY CHRISTMAS AKIRE!!!!!

- 🎅 anne applejongho (jonghohoho rn)

AHHHH MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I just finished reading and rereading your gift and I’m still short circuiting - ITS SO GOOD! THANK YOU!! (I hope you don’t mind all the rambling I left in the tags HAHAHA)

Also I figured I’ll just reply to your anon ask here:

Christmas was pretty good last night - I ate too much and the gifts were nice (I should show you how my brother decided to wrap his gift - suddenly mine doesn’t look so bad):

Wow just look at how much effort went into that HAHAHA. But hey it’s still a good gift so the “wrapping” can be forgiven.

How are you tho?? I hope you’re feeling better!! Let the promise of those suspiciously-ateez shaped gifts be what helps you heal HAHAHA.

Oh btw - do you mind just dropping your discord username through DM here? I’ll add you - you’ll know it’s me by the Han quokka pfp （＾∇＾）

Your break sounds so nice! i hope you get to spend time with your partner :D you more than deserve it :)

an nct u mv came out? i thought the lineup was really interesting its also always nice to see my nct biases lmao (though i didnt particularly care for the song itself?) if youve seen it what are your thoughts?

i also have a couple random questions? what are your favorite flowers? and whats a style of clothing youve always wanted to try but just never have? i really want to try lolita its just not the cheapest (or most subtle)

(sorry if this is a little lackluster, ive had a rough couple of days) 🦌

thank you :') i hope you enjoy your break too !!

it was interesting, yeah 🤔🤔 i haven't been catching up to them lately so i was pretty shocked to see the members at first but i think it pretty solid heh (i didn't have high hopes for the song either oof) my friend was talking about how one of the teasers with the masks gave off simon says vibes and i had to convince myself that there's no way they'd revert back to that kind of style musically considering how their recent releases sound ,,, i was kind of pleasantly surprised ig ?? lol

ooooh my favorite flowers would be jasmines and a style of clothing ,,, maybe grunge? there are a lot i'd like to try but yeah, they aren't the cheapest lol

also dw !! i hope you're doing better and getting enough rest :')

21 + 29 ! 🌼 -skznta 💌 i hope ur saturday is going well ! 💓💕

21. Blueberry-Muffin tea: Tell me a memory, which makes you smile.Okay, so one I immediately thought of was very young me and my grandma at her kitchen table and we’re building a miniature fortress/castle out of paper,, i also associate this memory with the taste of the salmiak/viola pastilles i always got when i visited haha i used to spend so much time at my grandparents house growing up since they lived just two streets over!! 

29. Gunpowder tea: If you had the chance: would you go to space?I actually had to think about this for a while sdfdgfhg but yes probably?? I would probably be really scared but seeing earth from space would probably be really cool…..but i honestly think i would prefer a guided tour on a space facility here on earth or something dgfhgj💫✨

@skznta thank you for sending this in sierra!! 💖my saturday has been pretty good so far, i’ll probably go to sleep soon!! hope you have a good day as well!!!💘

send me an ask?🍃

#answered #ask games #also your xmas url is so cute!!

[skzfaker]

lol i tend to go to sleep at semi reasonable times. tho i did go to bed at 2am last night which is super late for me but i was on call w a friend lol, so that's why

and i prefer discord! but i also can talk to people here on tumblr :) it'd be epic if u had discord bc then we could be friends there

so the pool is indoors, which means it's open year round! but yeah, i only work over winter/summer break bc im at school (far away) at all other times

LMAO YEAH EXACTLY. i'd maybe like it better if kpop mullets had a different name tbh, but i think from a totally objective perspective i just dont like them aesthetically. some haircuts are just better imo, i rly like hairstyles that have hair gel or are slicked back, it's just *chef's kiss* you'll soon learn i absolutely adore biker aesthetics, i own two leather jackets and i feel SO cool and good in them

i hope u managed to wrap gifts by now! christmas is coming :))))) everything is all good to go over here, we dont rly make as a big deal about it as other families despite the family being super religious ironically enough, so it's just a matter of waiting for the day to arrive. im at my grandma's house rn and it's rly nice :')

awww and yes! i hope u get the skzoo detective lads! they're so cute <333

i would love to get anything ateez related, and i said earlier that there are five very suspiciously ateez album-shaped packages under the tree and i am e x c i t e d. i got to open a present early and it ended up being a pair of yellow converse!! :)))

- 🎅

ooh okay. yeah that's cool - you'll definitely see me online around 6 PM your time on weekdays because my work starts at 7 AM (no i don't know how i'm surviving this).

buT YES DISCORD! this is my preferred way of talking too - i'm constantly there. haven't joined any skz-related servers yet, but i added a bunch of low-quality skz emojis in ones i'm in. most popular ones are hansuspish, hyunjinclown, and hanquokka (who is the only decent emoji we have):

we should definitely add each other as friends!

right? or at least specify/add "kpop" before saying mullet so we know they're not talking about billy ray cyrus HAHAHA. oooh biker aesthetic tho - i'm feeling it! i have a couple of leather jackets too but it's too hot here to wear them sadly. ahh we need a skz biker concept now!

ah well you'll be happy to know that i am finished...shoving everything into paper bags and calling it a day LOL. yeah we have about an hour until we open presents here (exactly at midnight of the 25th) so they'll have to do. my excuse is that the bags can be opened carefully and reused so they're still a good solution (≧▽≦) ooh i hope you guys are eating a lot and feeling that festive cheer at your grandma's!

ahh thank you! no one got me the detective outfits this year (i pretty much already know all my presents) but i WILL get those for myself...hopefully at reasonable prices ( ;∀;)

nice tho yellow converse! i wear converse a lot too - i think that's the only part of my outfit (aside from socks) where i wear colors hahaha. let me know what you got, tho im also 99% sure those are ateez albums.

ah also i'm excited to receive your present!

#JUST A FEW MORE HOURSSS #skznta '21

[skzfaker]

hehe yes im a horror writer, it's what i do :') i just simply cannot write cute scenarios

omg wow, to meet skz. i have a (not very close) friend that literally saw them and waved to them in LA a year ago and i was like wtf!!! hopefully u can see them someday! being in japan or korea makes it a little easier to see them imo, coming from an american

AHAHA yes i am exactly with your manager. that's my timezone

and yes, ofc im being paid to lifeguard :) it's a chill pool so i dont have to stress about a ton of people which is super nice

thanks for the luck on the scarf!

omg, someone who doesnt like mullets like me. it seems like most people do, which is fine, but as part of the minority im like,,, why 😔 i also agree, the longerish mullet but also not mullet is better. i think for me it just reminds me too much of southern men with mullets, and i hate those with a passion. "they're not the same" but they're the same name! augh. but im definitely someone that likes shorter hair on guys

and omg i think you're right, i cant think of felix ever having dark hair except at debut. damn. they should let him have his dark hair for a bit lmao. to heal

and no problem! it took me a sec to respond to this bc it's a little busy so we're both a little busy haha. gl with your holiday prep tho! it's almost there :) do u have any gifts that you really want?

- 🎅

Okay my electricity went out right when I wanted to answer (￣^￣)

Aww man I’m very jealous - I hope skz saw them wave! And you’re totally right. Since kpop caters so much to the jp market it’s much easier to meet them there and just…get merch in general. Oh the amount of money I’ve spent in tower records…Thank you tho - manifesting we meet our boys eventually!!

…I guess I’ll monitor the times you’re online and wonder why you’re not asleep too then HAHAHA. I mean at least you won’t be telling me to do stuff when you talk to me so it’s all good. Btw, how do you prefer to talk to your mutuals/friends here? Through DMs, asks, or do you use outside services like discord? (Asking partially because I’m always interested in how people communicate and partially because I wonder how I’ll most likely talk to you after this)

Eyy the pool sounds like a good sidegig then! I’m guessing you only do it on vacation days or during the weekend?

HAHAHA YES THOSE MULLETS ARE JUST NOT GREAT. Like I always picture billy ray cyrus during the 90’s first when mullets are brought up oh god imagine an idol with that exact haircut And right? Can they just..not have the same name? Because we’re always going to think of the bad hairstyle first.

YES. Another person who supports the Felix scalp recovery movement! We’re so used to seeing him blonde and he does look good with it but definitely it needs to heal for a bit.

Oh and it’s cool - we’re only a few days until reveal day anywhoos! Reply as late as you feel like HAHAHA. As far as holiday prep goes, I’m still putting off wrapping gifts and just any prep in general so…gg I guess _(┐「ε:)_ how about you - how’s it going over there? Ah, and the gift I really want are the skzoo detective outfits. They’re so hard to find now and when I do find them they’re so expensive!! But they’re so cute so I want them ( ；∀；) what about you? Anything you’re hoping to get this year?

#…okay I promise I’ll finish wrapping tomorrow #or just use paper bags for freakin everything #and why do I have to wrap my own gift #skznta '21

[skzfaker]

SDNKJSD thank u! editing went extremely well and it's all done now! i think you will like it a lot :))))) or at least i hope u will! i queued it for december 24th at 11pm my time, which is EST (answering a question u asked later in the ask). you're 13 hours ahead of me rip lmao so that's noon on christmas for you. i figured that'll be a time where you're up but im also up bc im usually up decently late. glad u took naps! tis important or your health :') ehehe and thank u! i rly obviously enjoy horror fics. and actually, the evil pirates one is one of my favs. and you'll get to see it all on my masterlist when i am revealed 👀👀👀👀👀👀 there are a few fluffy fics but my Thing is definitely darker stuff PFFFF yeah i kinda messed him up </3 luckily it's a three part series in the plotline where i stole his vocal cords but he'll probably get them back. probably. oops. im a little evil to him but he's my absolute ult fav <3 i havent met ateez yet, so yeah, if i went to the concert that would be the first time! i'd let jongho know he's the Coolest for the entire concert, i'd be fully prepared to yell his name the entire time. he deserves it and yes, im in America :) EST and i've indeed made it home! ive been home since monday and it's saturday now so not even a week. i kinda miss it haha, i like having my independence and it sorta feels like high school again. but oh well, it's still nice to see the family and yes, i love swimming :) but i work at an indoor pool, i dont actually live near any beaches haha. beach guards have a lot more training and i dont know if i could ever get to their level haha. and as for knitting i am good at hats and scarves! i dont know how to make anything else so those are the two things i make. im almost done w my first scarf, very excited :) there was a period of time a few years ago where i'd Only make hats, so everyone in the family got a hat lmaooooo yes, i agree! i also generally just dont like longer hair like that. this might be a super controversial opinion but i dont like mullets 😳 there;s one (1) exception and it's hongjoong's (ateez) mullet right now, he looks like such a cool lead rock band singer! but basically all other cases im kinda like ://// eh. i think it's bc it's short in the front and then long in the back which i guess is what a mullet is, it's just not my favorite hair. tho ofc it's just hair, it grows back, it changes, whatever :) do u like them? i actually also enjoyed chan's cheeto hair lol. it's not my fav hair on him but i like shorter hair on idols so it was nice to see him like that. i think for fav looks tho, i love literally every style changbin has ever done. i definitely lean towards edgier looks lol me ulting the most Sensible and Proper Main Vocal so Changbin in district 9 was perfect for me - 🎅

ey sounds good! ...yeah i think i'll be up by noon already or maybe a bit after but AHH okay i'll be sure to read it ASAP so you can see me reblog it with a crapload of tags in real time. glad to know we're both part of the vampire club tho LOL - we can definitely talk to each other in real time.

wow. "probably". HAHAHAHA. you did say your expertise is horror - now i can see why (≧▽≦)

ohhh i hope you can go then! agh you have no idea how many times i could've met skz if only i joined stay earlier - both here and in japan. yes the regret is still eating me together with the absolute clownery that was my period of constantly saying "i'M nOt a StAy" go get your tickets!!

ah and EST is definitely something i'm used to working with. my manager actually lives within that timezone as well so i'm used to monitoring her work times (and wondering why she's still talking to me/still not asleep) d(ﾟｰﾟ@)

indoor pools are cool too! and i'm sure all the swimming is good exercise, plus you're getting paid (i assume LOL). HAHA that's another thing we have in common tho - i went through a hat-crocheting phase too. i feel like i don't know how to crocehet anymore tho...ah but good luck on the scarf!

oh yeah i'm with you - i'm not a fan of mullets either. no idea how it became a trend in kpop, but here we are. i have one exception to it too: felix, and it's mostly because of his face and the fact that his bangs are growing longer so his hair is kinda losing its mullet-ness. speaking of felix tho, it's his scalp i'm more concerned about...am i going crazy or was the only time he had his actual, natural dark hair was during predebut?

changbin does fit all his hairstyles so far tho. i can truly appreciate the bowl cut when he has it HAHAHA. i'm still a sucker for longer hair, but i can appreciate the short hairstyle more on some people.

...okay i feel like i rambled a lot in this response. you'll have to excuse me - i'm back to not blinking and there's too many holiday preparations to do (゜Д゜) hope everything's going smoother over there!!

#oh my GAHDHLKj i still have one more poster to finishhhh #skznta '21

[skzfaker]

i just finished your fic! :) it's nowhere near ready tho. i still have editing to do, and only then will it be perfect, but yay! prepare >:) also - i'd pass away if u made a book cover for it, omg. that would be so good blinking is optional and yeah, i still have a long time :) it'd be super cool to incorporate the stuff i learn into fics, but i also just finished my pre-reqs so im still really not in my major just yet. but im excited for my upcoming classes! i have done evil wizards, evil joseon dynasty era warriors, evil pirates, evil vampires... ahahahahaha. can u see a theme AND YEAH, JONGHO <33333 he's the greatest. he's so cool. i have put him through so much and he absolutely does not deserve it. i show my love in really strange ways. he's the main vocalist of ateez, right? i may have stolen his vocal cords in one of the fics as a punishment for his sins it's a very long story. I have a handful of fluff fics but it's really just majorly horror or fantasy and it's all darker fantasy lol. clearly... i enjoy the more sinister side of life. hahah i might skip but probably not. i hate skipping class ajdsjklfskl and i'd just be worried about it during the concert which wouldn't be good. idk, who knows, i'd stop a moving truck w my bare hands if i knew that by doing so i'd be able to see ateez oh, where do u live if u dont mind me asking? i figured we lived in different places because your time zone seems different than mine and thank u!!! i've just been chilling, but i also like being a busy bee, so i've been writing when i can, i'm also a lifeguard, and im trying to get a paid internship at a lab for my resume :') and yeah, i like to do a lot of things not on the computer! i play viola tho not as much anymore bc im burnt out but i still say it, write, knit, and read! ngl the first thought i have was felix's extensions in thunderous. clothes never really bother me too much, it's always hair it seems. i just like it a certain way and im not a big fan of longer hair, so i saw his extensions and sighed a bit. ofc it's just hair and i still love him but AAAAAA. what about u? - 🎅

wow you work really fast! THE HYPE FOR THIS STORY IS REAL (╯✧∇✧)╯and it'd be a honor to make the banner/cover for it! do you usually have covers for your stories or have someone make those btw? i remember back when i frequented fanfiction sites, everyone seemed to have their own banner-makers. sending you energy for the editing portion tho!

also i spent a majority of yesterday taking naps so i think my eyes are back to normal

okay that's a pretty impressive repertoire of horror-themed stories! very intrigued by the evil pirates one evil-anything needs to be more of a thing - this is why i love it when groups do dark/evil concepts (also i keep typing 'evil' as 'evel'). all the fluff and bubblegum is cute and all, but i live for the edgy and dark themes too.

HAHA OMG jongho is ariel - i love how you stole his voice HAHAHA. you really hit him where it hurts; i can already feel his crisis from over here. yeah we're definitely the same in that regard. i love my cheesy romance, but horror is still my #1 genre. i do hope you gave jongho a happy ending tho (≧▽≦)

aww man i was the same when i was a student too. i wasn't happy skipping classes and i was constantly anxious about being late. fast forward a few years and i'll take a random day off of work for the heck of it HAHAHA. hopefully having to stop a truck with your bare hands won't be the requirement for you to meet ateez tho! have you already met them before, btw? or is the concert next year potentially the first time you'll see them?

ah i'm currently staying in the philippines! what about you? i kinda just assumed you're in america - please let me know if i'm off-base there, and we can figure out just how much time difference we have tho tbh i'm a vampire so i'm up until 3 or 4 AM here

(also you just reminded me to ask which timezone to follow when it's time to give gifts/reveal ourselves on the 25th. i might give my gift too early...)

btw, have you made it home??

yay! glad you’re getting some rest! wow a lifeguard tho! i'm guessing you enjoy swimming then HAHAHA. and that you live close to the beach? ooh i love that knitting is also part of your hobby list. i used to crochet but got too lazy about it. what kind of things do you like to make?

...okay i swear i'm not copying you on purpose here, but felix's thunderous extensions is also on my list of ??? skz looks. the blonde ones that match his actual hair looked okay, but the weird greyish ones...yeah i'm not feeling it. i thought it was part of his hat at first. hmm, can't say i'm a huge fan of chan's cheeto hair much either, especially when it was so short (soz chan). what about your favorite looks?

#i feel like mine is already really obvious HAHAHA #long blonde hyunjin my beloved #skznta '21

[skzfaker]

hehe, you're not the antagonist :') i hope the story turns out alright, it's not as spooky or creepy as i wanted it to be im almost done but it is what it is ig ye it's super interesting!!! lol ofc im the one that picked the major. i absolutely love biology. i hope i can help people when i get a job :) LOL no it's not seonghwa! i'll go ahead and give it to u: it's the maknae. 🤔 wonder who that is no he doesnt collect photocards, but he watches a ton of variety shows, has a twitter acc, and listens to kpop :) he's a cutie and im rly glad i have that with him bc im not nearly as close with my mom and ye, the collab that wasnt a collab. they all did so well but really? they all just danced one after another. ateez tour! im hoping my dad got tickets for me for christmas but if i dont get them i'll be fine :') the concert is on the first day of classes so idk if i could even go the fanart that spawned was so good! up all night is just so perfect, i was delighted when it came out. delighted and my last final went so well!!! i got a score way higher than what i needed and i got a solid A in the class :) it was actually my biology class. im super happy. and now im free :) - 🎅

oh okay HAHAHA. ngl that sounds like it'd make for a pretty good premise too, though i'm excited to read it either way - i'm sure what you made is great! maybe the gift i can give to you is a book cover for the story or something HAHAHA. tho yeah i feel you - i'm mostly done with my gifts too but i just feel like they need...something. i can stare at skz for extended periods of time while working on them at least but dear lord i think i need eyedrops i don't think i'm blinking enough anymore

eyy you still got a while before thinking of job hunting - you can just enjoy studying that now! i'm looking forward to see how you'd incorporate your area of expertise into your work - maybe it could work on something like a sci-fi or...i dunno, apocalypse-themed fic (assuming of course you haven't done that yet)

ahhh jongho then! finally the mystery is solved! (≧▽≦) now i wonder what kind of horror scenarios you've put him through in your stories. also, tho this seems to be your main genre, do you ever write anything lighter/fluffier?

oh dang yeah him having a stan twitter account is actually pretty amazing! i really hope he gets you tickets to ateez's tour too (and go with you ofc) - i'm sure since it's the first day of school not much would happen anywhoos HAHAHA. and you could probably afford to not go to class the next day. ahh i'm both happy for and jealous of all the in-person concerts already going on over there ( ;∀;)

THAT'S AWESOME - CONGRATS ON THE A! AND THE FREEDOM! hopefully that means you also have the time to just veg out and relax now. speaking of tho, i realized a few days ago that i don't really have any more offline hobbies i'm always screwed whenever there's a blackout - do you enjoy doing anything that isn't on the computer?

and random skz question for today: do you have any particular outfits/looks of theirs that you're not a fan of?

#was having a convo with my ahgase friend and all the sins the JYP stylists have committed #i mean at least skz are handsome enough to pull anything off but #some outfits are just #really? #skznta '21

[skzfaker]

coolio, you'll be dark haired girl then!!! not sure how big of a part you'll play but I have ideas 👀👀👀

yee, engineering is pretty neat! I love the idea of helping people. I'm in bioengineering specifically, so that means building prosthetics or engineering cells. I like both tbh but right now my concentration is slated to be nanomedicine, which is the cellular part of the major!

you're still young!! :) but yeah, there's stays that are even younger than me and it definitely freaks me out just a little. No one is supposed to be younger than me

Actually, yes, this person was indeed in shax or sparkling! So that eliminates it down to jongho, seonghwa, or yunho 🤔🤔🤔🤔 since san is already out

He actually has some of his own merch bc he likes a few girl groups lol. He rly likes this small gg called pixy and has an album of theirs :) but he doesn't collect photocards or anything like I do

Bruh yeah! It was annoying how they just took turns being on stage. For a "collab" none of them interacted :/ and yeah, ateez literally just had a comeback yesterday so it wouldn't surprise me if they were just too tired to do anything super elaborate. I was still hoping for something big tho augh. Skz made up for it tho bc there's was so epic. Jeongin on the scooter 😭

Oh my god I love up all night (bc vampires!!!! The concept was so good!! I think u have seen that I absolutely love creepy or horror stuff and the MV was so perfect)! I also love island. and streetlight, streetlight is epic.

- 🎅

Eyy any part is good in my book…unless I’m revealed to actually be the antagonist or something. Tho actually that would be pretty cool too!

Ooh that does sound interesting! Difficult, but interesting (I don’t think I’d be able to survive studying it tho since I hated biology as a student LOL). And your reason for going into it is very noble too! We need more people like you d(￣ ￣)

HAH my dude you’re telling me tho thank you for that hahahahuhu. When seungmin was teasing chan for being “half 52” next year, I felt attacked as someone who’s already that age now _(┐「ε:)_ thanks seungmin. But eh I still look like (and have the maturity of) a seventeen year old apparently so I’m okay HAHAHA.

Okay this is my last guess: is it seonghwa? my atiny friend’s busy so that answer is purely mine, tho at some point she was thinking of either seonghwa or san.

Oohh that’s cute! I think I’ve heard of pixy, and at least one of their songs when watching a music show once. HAHAHA I’ll be thoroughly impressed if he collected photo cards too - it takes special dedication to collect something like that - tho just the fact that he has is own merch is impressive enough. Kudos to your dad!! Kpop is a nice bonding activity.

Right?? That’s what I was saying too - what kind of a “collaboration” doesn’t have them actually collaborating. It’s like a group project where everyone didn’t have time to meet so they just made their own parts and stuck them together last minute. I loved hyunjin’s part tho - they opened strong with him. Oh wow yeah tho it sounds like ateez didn’t have the time. I’m sure they’ll make up for it in their tour. And YES THE SCOOTERS FOR CHEESE. Loved that, and the 3RACHA portion.

YESS I knew you were going to include up all night in your list. The vampire concept seriously fits them so well. The amount of fanart that song spawned was the best part for me HAHAHA

Ooh how was your last final btw?

#still wondering if they’d ever do an official twilight cosplay tho HAHAHA #I still can’t decide if Chan should be Edward or Carlisle #skznta '21

[skzfaker]

aww, thanks for the writing love :') I don't get a lot of feedback or fans bc of the genre I write but I do enjoy writing it nonetheless

cool, thank u!! :) In my fic I think I'll just describe u as a girl with dark hair, that's fine?

oof, accounting! ye, I'm not sure if engineering is my calling, but I'm definitely really interested in it and if I can do it, then I will, you know? :') plus u don't always have to have the thing u love be your job, your job can be kinda eh but then u have fun hobbies

"SHOULD I EXPECT ENGINEER AUS" 😭😭😭👌👌👌 LMAO maybe. My major is bioengineering so any story to do with that major would probably be something similar to Frankenstein djfjkdksk

haha nah that's not old! tho that's funny that u say that bc I'm a year younger than jeongin 😳🤘 whoops

Honestly tho? He has a fanbase as a soloist, you could probably sell them and someone would be interested

yes I'll give u another hint! I'll probably say who he is eventually, I just like having u guess :') he's someone that doesn't change his hair color that often

and I'm a sophomore! so still five more semesters to go, but I also might go for a master's, I haven't decided just yet

YEAH he's an army!!! It's the cutest thing :') he also likes a lot of girl groups but BTS is his ult. We have the same BTS bias, Yoongi :) I think he picked him bc I liked him, but he has genuinely grown to love BTS. So while I'm not super into them anymore, my dad catches up w them bc he's a legitimate fan :') he went with me to a BTS concert in 2018 and he loved it

And yes I've seen their MAMA performance!!! It was so good!! The fire swords (?) were so cool 🤩 I was rly excited for ateez's but their performance was kinda underwhelming. Usually MAMA is where all of the crazy performances come out but they didn't rly have that this year :( in the past it has been crazy

- 🎅

it's no problem! as someone who also posts her crap online, i know how much it sucks to not get much feedback on something you worked hard on.

and yes, that's totally okay - that's probably how i'd most likely describe myself, besides my height d(ﾟｰﾟ@) girl with the dark hair it is!

oh hey at least you're interested in engineering! that should make classes easier, and also make it easier to write any technical, engineering-related stuff in your stories. also a frankenstein-themed fanfic should be an interesting read HAHAHA i feel like if there's someone most likely to create a hybrid monster like that, it'd probably be minho. or maybe seungmin. who knows what goes on in that boy's head

...dear lord i feel old HAHAHA. you're so young! i'm just getting war flashbacks to the twitter mention party where i suddenly realized just how young stays are. excuse me while i mourn my lost youth LOL.

aand yeah i wouldn't know how to interpret your clues on my own HAHAHA. i'll get back to you when my atiny friend is up. hopefully those hints would help since we already eliminated two ateez members, but...was this person in shaxx or sparkling, by any chance?

ooh postgrad tho! i was actually considering that too, then the pandemic hit and...yeah. what subspecialty are you going to take, if ever?

awww that's so sweet! and he went to a concert with you too! that level of support is 👌 does he collect merch too?

OMG YES the fire swords! and that huge tank thing too (also the tank from kingdom that they brought back). i love how they finally killed the sound monster that's been around since the thunderous trailer too! ahh yeah the MAMA performances from last year were just pure hype - maybe they were busy with other schedules and couldn't do anything more elaborate? i wonder if that’s what happened with the collab stage too because that just...needed improvement HAHAHA. i feel like it could’ve been better if all of them performed the same choreography on the same stage at the same time.

also, random skz question for today: what’s your favorite skzplayer track/choreography vid?

#went back to watch the victory song MAMA perf #the chills were real #PREPARE FOR GLORY~! #skznta '21

[skzfaker]

regardless if u make me something (regardless of the time u post it) I will appreciate it a lot 🥺

speaking of gift... >:) I started writing your fic! I think it's going to turn out super well. The beginning is exactly what I want. It's a little spooky and a little silly 🥰

actually, I don't read fanfics all that often ironically enough! Used to, but not anymore. I think I've gotten too picky. I don't write traditional fics like romance or school aus or scenarios, I write a lot of fantasy, horror, supernatural, and adventure. Honestly, really unique concepts that u wouldn't be able to just search for on Tumblr Tumblr interaction on fics, like reblogging with feedback in the tags is so terrible already with romance fics/popular fics so I'm always swept under the rug uuudhdhdhdhak, so I guess that's what I look for in fics. I just never find it since no one writes it :') plus I can just pick up a published book and get what I want, just ofc without my beloved idols starring :(

Oh also, are u a boy or girl or non-binary? You'll play a tiny role in the fic I'm writing and I didn't want to assume :') I looked up Akire on Google only to find it was a gender neutral name and I just ajdkskdmkskd

I honestly think I could do well as a writer (like, a job) but I don't think my parents would be super happy with me doing that. So what's my major? Engineering 😭👌 which I will say, I enjoy! It's not a bad fit. I like math and science a lot. I'm just also extremely musical and imaginative. Low-key I'd love to apply what I learn in my field to writing, almost like a side hussle. Who knows, maybe I'd be noticed then :')

Do u have a job?

Ajdkkcdll the ninth man of stray kids </3 I literally became a fan right when all of his allegations were coming out. It was a wild time. One time I got a freebie of him when I bought a San photocard and I was so flabbergasted 😭 I just threw it out bc what was I even supposed to do w him. Ig the seller thought that bc I was an atiny, there'd be a chance I wouldn't also be a stay so I wouldn't know the wiser

And as for my bias... :) hmmm, I really wanna say but I feel like it'll spoil my identity immediately. But ig I assume you're not looking at ateez stuff on tumblr so maybe it won't matter? 👀 And yeah, that's cool that u even know their faces! Fair enough considering all the groups u stan

and finals went rly well!!! I have hated physics this whole semester and I slid by with a B, I'm so happy :) all of my other classes are in good shape, I'm still waiting for the results. I just have one more final on Monday and I'll be totally free ☺️👌

And holiday prep is good! I'm not going home until my last final but when I get home my dad and I are going to go out and buy Christmas gifts together. I'm excited bc I love my dad, he's 10/10 :) he's also a hardcore kpop stan lol! He loves BTS a whole lot, they were my first group and he got into them through me.

What moment did I stan stray kids? Omg, I remember being neck deep in college work last year and I decided to watch every. Single. Performance. Of God's menu. I literally fell for Jisung so hard. I fell for all of them so hard. I was kind of falling out of BTS at the time so they was a tremendous pick me up!

- 🎅

awesome!! i'll think of something to make for you!

AHH OMG I AM EXCITED! can i just say that "spooky and silly" seems right up minho and hyunjin's alley. i actually rewatched skzcode/when they went through the haunted school - 10000/10 would want to see them go through horror scenarios again. and maybe felix too, but i’d go easier on him.

oh dang - yeah that's true. it's always romance/angst/drama when it comes to idol fics without really much variety. that sucks tho - you have to write what you want to read. if only there was a machine that could just automatically convert thoughts/daydreams to an actual coherent story. i hope you don't stop writing tho! i'll be sure to review bomb any skz fics you write after the reveal!

ah i'm a girl. also i didn't realize my name was gender neutral HAHAHA. hmm i wonder if it's because it's close to 'akira' which generally a boy's name...ah anyway. I AM MUCH EXCITE ABOUT MY ROLE IN THE STORY (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

...okay your situation hit me hard because it was my (and i guess still is) situation too (;´Д｀) i wanted to be a writer then eventually a graphic artist, yet i ended up with a major so far from either of those - accounting, also thanks to my very traditional asian parents. i like math too and i think i excelled in college, but i still feel like this isn't exactly my calling HAHA the amount of existential crises i've gone through... i'm glad you're liking engineering tho! my brother's about to graduate from his mechanical engineering course soon too, and all of it just looks whack to me LOL. you guys are a different breed. and YES - DEFINITELY you can/should turn writing into a side hustle. should i expect engineer AUs in your future work or

oh, and yeah i'm a CPA ( ;∀;) i probably have one of the most boring jobs in the world. also i feel like i should mention that i’m only 2 years older than chan - hopefully that’s not too old HAHAHA

wooooow okay yeah i definitely feel like that seller was trying to get rid of the he-who-shall-not-be-named PCs and figured since you're an atiny, you wouldn't care. agh i really don't want any of his merch! i've been lucky with my clé albums since he was nowhere to be found, and the worst that happened to me was some duplicate PCs. but i'm still kinda sacred for the I AM ones. egh i'll probably just do what you did and throw them out. i doubt anyone actually wants them and i don't want to see them lying around.

i solemnly swear i will not look up your bias on tumblr (≧◇≦) but if you still don't feel like telling me...can i get another hint? i'll make my atiny friend crack this.

eyy congrats on the B tho! and hey, at least physics is done and over with for now. never really enjoyed that subject much when i had to take it as an elective either...i feel like that's mostly my professor's fault tho. are you close to graduating btw?

OMG YOUR DAD IS AN ARMY? i'm not really a fan of bts, but that is so cool! i imagine you tell him all about your faves and he totally relates HAHAHA. you are definitely getting kpop merch for christmas then. i feel like my parents kiiiiinda understand my obsession with kpop/jpop, but they still have no idea what's going on in them...that's probably for the best LOL

(also, kinda tangential story, but i was watching MAMA live earlier and during hyunjin's part of the intro/collab stage, my mom was watching over my shoulder. she asked if he was a member of stray kids, and when i said yes, she asked which skzoo plushie was his. yes this is how my mom knows skz - through skzoo)

HAH YES GOD'S MENU SUPREMACY! i don't blame you tho - han's the ace for a reason. man that comeback just wrecked all of us, i feel - definitely the rise of skz world domination.

oh, and speaking of which, have you seen their MAMA performance??

#MY GOD IT WAS EPIC #leave it to them to continue their lore here #skznta '21

[skzfaker]

OH HAHA U MEAN THE VAULTING GAME 😭👌 omg yeah, rip to sf9. and lmao men in suits playing tennis, that's iconic

they're such pretty graphics fr! And omg I'd cry if u made me anything, tho ofc u don't have to bc I'm the Santa

the piece I wrote is only 14 seconds so I doubt you'd be able to listen to it while reading 😅 and it's certainly something. Perhaps not a masterpiece. But Something™

damn, Christian upbringing lads unite 😔 I honestly don't listen to "emo" music all that much but I like a lot of stuff by Paramore (misery business <3) and TOP (levitate <3)

And aw that's sweet, I'm glad u like me :') and I'm glad I met u too!!!! You're so neat bro

ooh, the I AM albums!!! skz's old stuff is so great, love it

👀👁️👀 it's not San but San is my bias wrecker!! Hehe ;)

And yes, god's menu, truly iconic and amazing.

So if u have an atiny friend, do u feel connected to any of the members? IE do you have a bias? Or are you just not familiar enough w them lol

- 🎅

eyy honestly i'd be more than happy to make something...tho you probably won't see it until next year ( ;∀;)

oh wow that's short. eh that's cool tho - i'll take what i can get. i'm sure i'll enjoy reading whatever you make regardless (for real, i am excited for this HAHAHA). since you write, i’m guessing you enjoy reading kpop fanfics, too?

ahh misery business is a classic! suddenly i'm brought back to high school LOL. thanks for reminding me to listen to it again.

yesss i can't wait to open the albums up to see who the PCs are...i'm just hoping to get all OT8. i wouldn't know what to do with that extra one in case it's there probably just hide it somewhere or something

...okay i'll be honest - i give up XD who's your ateez bias? my atiny friend is really curious too. ah, and i don't have my own bias - i know them by name and by face thanks to my friend, but that's pretty much it - sorry (・・;) i feel like i already have my hands full with all the groups i currently stan - my brain's on full capacity HAHAHA. i do like some of their songs tho - inception was stuck in my head for a while and i've made a few graphics inspired by the lyrics.

aghh also i'm really sorry for replying late-ish - the past day or so has been a lot. how'd your finals go btw? i hope you'll be slacking/relaxing this weekend! oh, and how are the holiday preparations going, if you celebrate anything?

random stay question for today - what was the moment you decided to stan skz?

#skznta '21

[skzfaker]

AMFKKFKFKDKF that's hilarious, does sf9 never wear jeans?

OK AND WOW YOUR GRAPHICS. those are so amazing!!!! how do u do that. That's so stellar. U are the coolest the sexiest the neatest. I bow to u

I'll have to send u my stupid transposed song once I'm revealed 👀 and if I said the name I think u could easily look it up and find it akfodkfksk. But it's certainly a time. My stay friends lose their minds when I bring it up bc it's so cursed

as for emo phases, I never had one so I'm having it rn low-key 😭 just bc of how I was raised in a really religious household, I wasn't rly allowed to have that kind of self expression. Now I'm in college and I'm 🖤😈🔪🥵🔥 at least how I look, people say I am a sweetheart akkfkwkfken

inception orchestra version would be WONDERFUL OMG. if I ever have the inspo I think I'd do that. The rap parts for inception are chill tho, I think I could do it. It's not like Changbin in hellevator lmao. But if I had to pick a song to do I think I'd do chronosaurus or heroes (we could be) by Alesso!

oh yeah, for PCs I only buy the ones that I think are cute! Tho coincidentally I think all of my ult's ones are cute so here we are 😭👌 but I definitely don't have all of them, that would be super daunting

And printing your graphics is a good idea!! 👀 They're so beautiful

I have not ordered skz seasons greetings, and I think my parents may have gotten the ateez seasons greetings for Christmas - I asked for ateez albums and now they aren't letting me buy any myself which makes me think they may have bought quite a few 😳😳😳🤞🤞🤞

and my ult is not mingi! I'll give u another chance bc I said earlier, I went crazy over my guy in kingdom :') and mingi wasn't in kingdom bc of mental health so it definitely isn't him. Any of the other seven are fair game tho 👀👀👀

my favorite skz music video is definitely chronosaurus or miroh. I cant tell u exactly why, I just love the vibes

- 🎅

oh they wear jeans...just at inappropriate times HAHAHAHA. like for real, i don't know how to vault properly in skinny jeans either. and then there's the good guy MV where they're playing sports like tennis and soccer...in suits. i mean they look good doing it at least. where else would you find good-looking guys playing scrabble in a 3-piece.

AHHH THANK YOU! no really i'm very glad you like them (even tho they're not your fandoms' stuff) - i feel like i spent way too much time making them. oh hey, maybe after the reveal, i can make you something too?

HAH OKAY i am looking forward to that song. i'm sure it's a masterpiece ＼(゜ロ＼) i wonder if i should listen to it while reading the story you'll write or would that be too much HAHAHA

eyy that's great you're finally letting your emo flag fly! i can kinda relate - i went to catholic school so i had to wear uniforms all the time and i couldn't dye my hair - but of course, the emo never went away it's not just a PHASE mom! what are your favorite songs in that genre? ah i'm sure people are right about you being a sweetheart tho - i'm very happy you've been assigned to me as my secret santa. i don't really have much stay friends (see 'lazy introvert') and some of the other stays i've met are...yeah, so i'm glad you're here ( ;∀;)

sappiness aside, now that you bring it up, an orchestra version of chronosaurus would sound AMAZING. heck, turn ALL their songs into orchestra versions please! i imagine it'd sound as great as those rock/punk goes classical covers.

manifesting that seasons greetings for you! ooh and other merch too! yeah i'd take that as a sign that they're totally getting you kpop stuff for christmas hahaha. i asked my sister to just get me all the I AM albums to get my collection over with, and surprisingly she agreed (i feel like she just doesn't want to think of what else to get me but whatevs)

...right i totally missed the part where you mentioned kingdom i have great reading comprehension skills clearly so let me try again. i consulted with my atiny friend and i gave her some more clues (like how your bias is changbin), and official guess #2 is san...did i get it right this time?

ahh the vibes really are pretty good for those two MVs. i especially like the whole theme miroh was going for. of the more recent ones, i'd say i like god's menu the best just because it's what got me sucked into this fandom in the first place (and long, blonde haired hyunjin. can't forget about him).

#istg i was reading the comments of the god's menu back when i didn't know anyone #just to see if anyone would say who the hot blonde guy was #what have you done hyunjin #skznta '21

[skzfaker]

oh wonderful!! wooyoung yelling "my son" is one of my favorite moments too. lol I'd scream about my ult and the performances he gave during kingdom but I don't want to reveal myself, I will simply be shrouded in mystery 👻 it was so excellent having both ateez and skz there, I enjoyed it tremendously

👀👁️👀 we'll see what I do! Planning on starting the fic after finals are over lol. I have exactly a week and then I am free

I AM YOU LOL. we're the same person actually. Wolfgang was such a cool concept but I agree, vampires ftw

jskdkfks for the music stuff, thank u :') I rly love music quite a lot, it just Connects with my brain haha. I'm not going to say exactly but there's a rather cursed version of a stray kids song that I transposed and then posted om Tumblr. It's a song in a minor key and I made it in a major key. It's horrible. It's awful. It's wonderful

as for other genres, I rly love rap and classical. Lmao quite the difference, huh? I also like rock a whole lot. The band Paramore is 10000/10

And I haven't done any covers of ateez yet rip, it's quite hard to and also I'd have no groups/orchestras that would play them so I don't rly see a reason for why I should write them. Also the rap parts are harder to transpose 😭😔

AND YEAH I'LL SHARE W U MY PC COLLECTION HAHAH. it's actually quite easy to get photo cards, I use Mercari and buy them from there. I have so many of My Boy he's just very neat

who do u think My Boy is?

- 🎅

awww true tho - my friend (who's a fantasy) and i used to stream the episodes live together and rooting for more than one group was fun! seeing her react live to SF9 wearing jeans of all things on sports day was almost as entertaining as sports day itself HAHAHA.

eyy can't wait! i'm still counting down the days until i can take a vacation too, and in the meantime, also planning what to make for the person assigned to me...yes after making how many graphics last week i'm kinda burned out ( ;∀;) also these are the graphics i made for both my esports team/tumblr namesake and my jpop group bc ngl i'm proud af of them HAHA 👀

...okay i'm sorry but i read "cursed" and "stray kids song" and i immediately thought of hip fuck sin (soz han) HAHAHAHA. now i'm REALLY curious about what your transposed song sounds like tho...i've heard major songs transposed to minor keys before but i don't think i've heard the reverse. i'm 1000% sure you're right tho - it's bound to sound wonderful (≧▽≦) if i dig through your blog, will i find it? oooh and what song did you choose?

AHHHH I AM YOU INTENSIFIES. I LOVE ROCK TOO! and omg paramore - i still jam to their songs to this day, though my ult group is my chemical romance. man, this combined with being past twihards - we never grew out of our emo phases, have we.

oohh i hope you and some band friends can work to cover an ateez song one day. ngl an orchestra version of...idk - inception or pirate king, maybe - would sound EPIC. though yeah i wish you luck working out how to do the string versions of the rap parts lol. if you had all the people you need available, what song would you cover first?

nice - i get my stuff from mercari too! ...just not the PCs i guess HAHAHA. i got overwhelmed seeing the complete collection of all skz PCs since time immemorial - i don't think i can catch up with that anymore ( ;∀;) to make up for it tho, i'm thinking of just printing some of my graphics and keeping them in a binder for the lolz. the danceracha posters i made is on the list of stuff to be printed, and definitely the skzoo game of thrones banners. speaking of merch tho...are you going to preorder skz's seasons greetings? or do you have ateez's bought already?

okay i asked my atiny friend who she thinks your boy is, and she guesses it's mingi because that's her boy HAHAHA. how off the mark am i/is she?

also random question for today - what's your favorite skz MV?

#ahh i'm still torn about preordering the seasons greetings #ngl tho i am VERY tempted #but i'm still on a self imposed merch ban #gahd fandom is so expensive #skznta '21

[skzfaker]

damn yep, it's ateez 😭✌️ love them a normal amount. Do u know them at all?

👀👁️👀👁️👀👁️ we'll see what I do w the romantic lead, then! Still deciding if it'll work with what I'm thinking of

HAHAHAHAHAH YES TWIHARDS. I don't rly care for it anymore but I still love vampires as a concept

chan as a werewolf,,,,

and yes, changbin is an icon 😌 he's so funny. And he's such a talented rapper. And he's muscular 😳🤘 I still have yet to write anything for him, still in the severe ateez brainrot jskdkdkd

Oh, I meant writing as in writing words. But I actually do write music as well lmao. Transposing music, to be exact. I can listen to music and then translate it for viola or violin or whatever. So it's not an original piece but I can translate things to different instruments bc I have perfect pitch and I've been in orchestra for almost 10 years

👀👀👀 do whatever graphics u want man! U deserve it after working a lot

... my kpop collection is insane. So I collect photocards of my ult and I think I have 70+ of him 😭 and,,, a,,, Signed album,,,,, I didn't get it signed by him myself, I bought it off of someone, but it's still my most treasured item 🥺 I also have a good amount of skz stuff, it's all nicely displayed on my wall. If I could send photos as anon I would bc I'm quite proud of it

- 🎅

HAHA I KNEW IT! yeah i'm kinda familiar with them - one of my best friends is actually an atiny. and i LOVED their interactions with stray kids during kingdom! i was right along with wooyoung screaming "MY SON!"

(also how did you survive kingdom with two of your groups on there?)

ah it's okay if there's no romance - i wouldn't want to compromise your plot/story XD i can just be the random person giving minho and hyunjin the ominous message not to look at mirrors after midnight or something.

eyy same with the twilight thing! (we really are the same person - I AM YOU i guess?) and while there's the whole wolfgang concept, i also still prefer chan and the squad as vampires.

ahh changbin. i think if i were to be friends with anyone on skz, he'd be at the top of my list - he really is entertaining af HAHAHA. and YES HIS RAPPING IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL. i've said before that the gateway member to international fans is usually felix bc of the gap between his face and his voice (plus he's a fluent english speaker), but changbin is the one who reels people in deeper. the first time i heard his rap in miroh i had to keep replaying because...just...how.

OOOHHH that's legit talent tho!! i can probably still read sheet music (very very slowly) but transposing is something else. writing both music AND stories - m(_ _)m major props! what other songs/genres do you listen to outside of kpop? and how many covers of ateez songs have you done? (≧▽≦)

okay your collection has me intrigued. when you're finally allowed to go off of anon/reveal yourself, you HAVE to show me. and daaang - 70+ pcs? that's dedication HAHAHA. i imagine that took a lot of hunting down sellers and people willing to trade. unfortunately i'm kinda introverted and just...very lazy so whatever PCs i get are what i get HAHAHA.

#i have a bunch of hyunjin pc duplicates that idk what to do with #he's one of the biases tho so he'll just #stay there i guess #skznta '21

[skzfaker]

holy, 11 and 10 members respectively?? Plus skz?? 😭 That would be so many graphics omg. I sit here having trouble writing something for each of my ult group members and there are... and here's your hint... eight of them. :)

I'm also losing my mind, another spooky person :') I probably will do that! We'll see. Who's your bias in skz? 👀 probably will write it abt them and would you want romance or nah? Or any preference for spooky/supernatural stuff, like vampires, demons, true crime, etc

lol ye studying is on my plans this weekend, but I'm also in a pep band at my university and so I have a basketball game to go to :) those are always hella fun

And oh my god congrats!!! 14 piece poster?? You're superhuman

and I also know your graphics bc I follow a lot of skz creators. One of them probably rbed it and I saw it, bc I 100% remember the game of thrones skzoo post. So when I got u and went onto your profile I was like IT'S THEM IT'S THEM IT'S THEM!!!

- 🎅

...*aggressively googles what other kpop group has eight members*

so uh...is your ult group a girl group or a boy group? (;'∀') and yes i do feel insane attempting to make crap for...jeebas crouch, what 29 people including skz?

OMG okay i'm excited about my gift! let's see - my biases are minho and hyunjin (i can already see the chaos of those two trying to get through a horror film together). i do love a good romance but tbh if it doesn't fit into the plot, it's okay to forgo. as for supernatural stuff...okay don't laugh but i was part of the twilight fandom when i was 13, so vampires are def up my alley HAHAHA. i love japanese horror too, so ghosts and other creepy stuff like rituals are 👌

now i'm curious - what's your ideal horror story? and what's your favorite horror movie? oh, and who is/are your skz bias/es??

ahh THANK YOU. the posters took me like 3 months to finish just because i'm lazy. it's in the same vector-art style as the game of thrones skzoo ones (again i'm VERY glad you liked those) but more detailed so...i just kept putting it off.

eyy the band stuff sounds fun tho!! what instrument do you play? unfortunately my artistic abilities stop at making graphics (and writing but i barely do that now) and edits, so musical talent to me is god-tier (∩´∀｀)∩

#tho i did learn piano as a kid #thank you asian parents #it just never stuck #skznta '21
