love is hard for park sunghoon (or is it?) — psh

office employee!sunghoon x fem!reader; genre. dating for convenience to real love, fluff notes. small drabble based on the manga ‘love is hard for otaku’ bc sunghoon gives nifuji vibes in these glasses!

otaku — is a japanese word that describes people with consuming interests, particularly in anime, manga, video games, or computers

sunghoon was positive that he was unlovable. he was a video game otaku who slaved away at his nine to five job and had rarely felt the touch of a woman. that was until you came along, like a bright ray of sunshine moving into his cloudy life. you were very different from him, loud and obnoxious at times with a very outgoing personality. sunghoon claimed that you weren’t his type, but the lie was long forgotten when he looked at your beaming smile and bright eyes.

for some reason that sunghoon couldn’t comprehend, you were interested in him. you talked to him first and were the reason behind the man becoming a flustered mess. sunghoon tried to tell you that being interested in him was a bad idea, his relationships never worked out because of his workaholic attitude and obsession with his handheld gaming device.

“you too? my past boyfriends never understood my obsession with mangas and idols. but it seems like you would!” you said, your voice twinged with excitement. after that you had basically proposed the idea of dating for convenience and oddly, sunghoon agreed. maybe it was because he was just lonely and severely touched starved— or maybe it was because your stunning smile made sunghoon’s heart skip a beat or two. he supposed if the two of you were dating for convenience, it wouldn’t be crazy to actually fall for one and other…right? he was your ‘boyfriend’ after all, it only made sense.

sunghoon couldn’t help himself. you were so understanding and you could relate to his lifestyle unlike people he dated in the past. you also never left sunghoon alone, even when he was furiously smashing the buttons on the controller of his gaming console. you would casually sit behind the man, legs thrown over his as you read your manga.

“you comfy back there?” sunghoon spoke up, readjusting his glasses and clearing his throat. he hoped that you couldn’t feel how hard his heart was beating or the way his body had become hotter under your touch.

“yeah i’m good.” you mumbled, a slight smile on your lips as you nuzzled the side of your face into his back. your eyes never left your manga and sunghoon could tell that you were highly invested.

“did you need anything?” you asked, surprised that sunghoon even spoke. whenever he played his game, he went silent. the only sounds that emitted from his mouth were annoyed grunts and a slew of curses.

sunghoon sighed and turned off his game, detaching himself from you to put his controller away. you whined at the loss of contact which soon turned into a gasp when sunghoon practically pounced on top of you. he took the manga from you, the book seeming so tiny in his large hands when he snapped it shut.

“m’sorry i’ve been neglecting you.” sunghoon mumbled, his glasses slowly sliding down his face. you pushed them up with your finger, smiling at the way they slid down his nose again.

“you don’t have to apologize. we decided to date because we understand how each other operates, is that not correct?” you asked, surprised that sunghoon decided to apologize. you felt it was unnecessary, you were just happy that he allowed you to be in his presence.

“but i want to. you’re…different from other girls I’ve been with…in a good way of course. and for some reason, that makes me actually want to give you my attention.” sunghoon explained, the delivery of his words sounding extremely awkward. you giggled, finding it amusing how inexperienced he was when it came to relationships, but you appreciated his honesty anyway.

“if that’s your way of saying that you’re attracted to me— then I feel the same.” you said, reaching up to mess with sunghoon’s hair. he caught your hand mid air, bringing it back down to his lap before playing with your fingers.

“yeah um, i am positive that i’ve fallen for you. i know we only dated for convenience but, i really do like being in a relationship with you.” sunghoon confessed, avoiding eye contact with you. using your free hand, you grabbed his chin, turning the man’s face to look at yours.

“i really like being in a relationship with you too, hoon.” you replied, a small smile on your face. sunghoon was sure he would’ve combusted on the spot due to the way your nickname for him rolled so easily off your tongue. the man had never felt such emotions before and he was surprised by how much of a hold you had on him. he was sure that he would get down on his knees and beg for you— if you wanted him to jump, he would ask ‘how high?’.

sunghoon smiled, an actual real smile where you could see his adorable fangs. you hadn’t seen much of the expression before, but at that moment you concluded that it was your favorite thing in the world.

“can i kiss you, sunghoon?” you asked timidly, watching as the man’s eyes widened behind the frames of his glasses.

“yeah…yeah of course you can.” he answered, his heartbeat picking up the pace by a tenfold. you smiled at his nervousness, leaning over to place a hesitant kiss on his lips. before you could pull away, sunghoon grabbed the back of your head, holding you in place as he deepened the kiss and forced you to open your mouth a bit more. you let out a low whine, the sound going straight to sunghoon’s gut. he shivered against your body, wrapping his arms around your waist and pulling you into his lap.

“what are you doing to me?” sunghoon groaned once he pulled away, moving his face to hide in your neck. you chuckled and patted the top of his head.

“it’s just my charm. only a select few can see it so, congratulations! you’re special!” you explained, playfully tapping the man on his nose. he scrunched it up cutely, letting out a small chuckle at your enthusiasm.

“yeah, lucky me.” sunghoon mumbled, his voice monotone as ever. to most people, it may have sounded sarcastic and as if he didn’t actually mean it. but sunghoon’s lovesick eyes said otherwise…and you knew sunghoon better than most people.

fic rec friday 16

welcome the the sixteenth fic rec friday! where, on friday, i rec five of my favourite fics.

1. home depot catalogue by @moonguilt

“No, really, he’d love to,” Lance said into the phone, just as Keith pressed the button for the kettle to start heating up.

Those words were enough to raise Keith’s suspicions just a tad. He shot Lance an inquisitive glance while opening the cabinet to retrieve his box of morning tea, but his husband was the picture of innocence, flipping casually through a Home Depot catalog they had received in the mail yesterday.

“Oh, definitely. If you need someone to paint your insides white, Keith’s your man.”

Keith dropped his box on the counter, tea bags spilling out onto the granite.

-----

Keith is having a normal, relaxing morning. Lance throws him a curveball.

this one made me LAUGH. out LOUD. it’s domestic and fluffy and FUNNY dear god, like it’s such a lance thing to do and such an objectively funny prank that i just!! literally just typing this makes the urge to reread it too great my hand has been forced.

2. kindling by @moonguilt

Lance struggles with his attraction to Keith during training, and it all comes to a head when Keith corners him afterwards to ask why he was off his game today.

Prompt from tumblr: Angry Kiss.

one of my fave vld tropes EVER is lance being whipped and then equally as furious that he’s attracted to keith at all. it’s endlessly funny to me. and then keith being the eyebrows raised, not surprised one??? gets me every time. also keith is a massive sweetheart in this fic and i love him

3. chocolate granola bars by @moonguilt

“A pillow fort sleepover!” Lance cried out, leaping up with such alacrity that Pidge had to grab her laptop to prevent it from sliding to the floor.

“No way, we're not—” Pidge stopped and blinked, exchanging a glance with Hunk, then looking back at Lance again. “... Oh.” She evidently had not been expecting such a tame suggestion. “Okay.”

-------------

Or, Lance is bored out of his mind and decides to organize a sleepover with the squad. Nonsense ensues, and Lance works through some confusing emotions—particularly those involving a certain mullet-haired team leader.

okay there are too many good things about this fic i cannot choose which to highlight, and so i will mention them all. ahem: a) lance is a ray of sunshine who regularly uses his power of cuteness to his advantage, b) adorable team bonding, c) shiro is a dorky nerd, d) HEALTHY LANCE AND ALLURA COMMUNICATION, e) krolia and romelle have actual characters, f) lance has allergies which isn’t rly important but he gives me a vibe that he’s allergic to several things and it’s very validating to see it in fic, g) lance validation and feeling expression for the piece of shit game show episode, h) observant lance!! and i) literally the most painful and necessary and well-written klance fight i’ve read in a while! hurt badly but was resolved wonderfully 10/10

4. Terminal Velocity by @speakswords [GORE WARNING]

The only fate worse than being tortured to death is watching, helpless, while the person you love most takes your place.

this is one of my fave vld fics of all time. although fair warning it is very violent for a good chunk of time. the story is EXCELLENT, the entire thing will have u biting ur nails in terrified anticipation and i mean that literally. whole time i was gagged. at the edge of my seat. AND i have several specific lines screenshotted bc the pure fucking devotion and care knocked me out of the water

5. you and me are cosmic dust by Yuu_chi

Knowing that your team loves and trust you no matter what and believing it are two very different things.

i LOVE keith angst. i know this fandom is very langst heavy and honestly i am too but sometimes keith angst is so so good. and this fic is one of them!! excellent read and features observant lance as well. OH and there’s a little sprinkling of suave keith in here too lol

that’s it for today!! i’ll see y’all back next friday for the next fic rec post!!!

❥ my top ten redacted audio speakers !!

i’ve seen a bunch of people doing this so i wanted to join in! i love a bandwagon 😋

feisty werewolf; milo - i mean, come on. *gestures at my blog* look at me. milo very quickly took top spot, by the time i got to the panic attack audio i was like the rest of y’all can pack it up bc this guy’s got me hooked lmfao it was just so sweet to see a softer side of the guy who, at that point in the timeline, had mostly only been abrasive, cocky, and flirty. that accent also does everything for me. the exact moment i fell in love with him was when he said, “of course i’m not mad. i was worried - scared that you were hurt or something. but never mad.” 🫠💖

nervous air elemental; lasko - lasko… what can i say about lasko. he definitely awoke something in me lmao, initially i didn’t want to get into the elementals because meeting new people felt like a chore at the time but he immediately made me laugh and it was all downhill from there… i love that he’s kinda freaky and he makes me want to bite him in the non-canon audios, but even in prime universe he’s just so sweet and a really good friend. and his relationship with coworker makes me so proud of his development

arrogant incubus; gavin - i’ve said it before but gavin’s the reason i’m here! his hbs 2023 audio was my first audio of the channel, and to go back in time and watch his progression to that point was so heartwarming 🥺 him and freelancer are possibly the best pair in the universe, i just adore everything about them. gavin’s audios are actually the hardest ones for me to listen to because the love he has for freelancer is suffocating to witness in a really bittersweet way 😩

yandere cultist friend; blake - this one is um …. i never expected this HAHA when i first listened to the balance he really skeeved me out (as he should), but then mother mother released ‘explode!’ and for some unfathomable reason it got into my head as a blake song and i couldn��t dissociate it from him. on a second listen of the balance, i definitely appreciate his character more and the juxtaposition of him with elliott and sunshine vs bestie is so so interesting to me. i can’t even be mad at bestie because he’d have me wrapped around his finger too 🥲 rly nervous for his next story update

chaotic boyfriend; guy - BABYGIRL. humor is the biggest thing i look for in relationships both platonic and romantic and no one makes me laugh like guy does. he’s so my type and the way honey acts is literally how i am with guys i like, so guy audios are always so much fun to listen to 💖 and no BA hits quite like that pre-recorded one

i ended up talking more than i thought i would so the other half is under the cut!

it gets kind of messy in the second half because i think these could get shuffled around depending on my mood but for now these are my thoughts!

seer obscura; morgan - morgan is… captivating. i know he kinda only blew up after ‘time is a song’ but it’s with good reason; the atmosphere is so calming but also, like… there’s a longing to it, ykwim? the two of them being the only know seer obscuras naturally lends a hand to the tension between them. no one else understands their unique struggles - so when his new obscura acquaintance calls him up in the middle of the night asking for help and comfort, of course he isn’t going to say no. it’s such an intimate setting for their third audio together and you can feel the tension building the whole time up to “i want to know you.” it’s just a really good audio. very interested to see where his story goes

sarcastic inchoate demon; avior - THE SNARK. THE QUIET KINDNESS. THE MYSTERY. THE YEARNING. THE TRAGEDY. avior’s got it all. sovereign state had me on the edge of my seat the whole time and still does, honestly. his hbs rewind audio is one of my favorites; the effort and love he put into that little date to give starlight a reprieve from their shared hell… he is such a romantic 💖 there’s nothing quite like falling in love while stuck in an actual hell

unempowered boyfriend; geordi - he’s an interesting one for me bc my love of him is directly tied to cutie + cutie’s telepathy giving us a look into his head (i just melt over his whispered little i love yous and compliments). they have a fascinating and messy story that i live for even when it makes me sick lol i adore that they’re both flawed but that they’re taking steps to better themselves. it’s fun when couples in the redactedverse aren’t perfect but still try to be better out of love

mysterious stranger; hush - THE weird guy. within his first audio i went from being indifferent to charmed. i love a mystery and everything about him is mysterious, but he’s also so clueless sometimes that it’s like. so what if he tied doc to the bed in their first meeting, now he’s asking to hold their hand when he’s nervous. so what if his purpose is to free the sovereigns? he learned how to cook for doc. i can’t NOT love him

unknown yandere caller - i’m a ghostface fan, okay. and i’m a taurus. i like when people are obsessed with me 🤷🏼‍♀️ there’s just something so… like. listen. “you’ll start to expect me. you’ll start to crave me.” from the audio and “i know you’ll find them. and you’ll keep them. because they’re from me.” from his card? the arrogance. it’s bewitching. i need him back ASAP i don’t even care if he doesn’t get a real name, i just miss him. come back please 🙏🏻

#redacted audio #redacted asmr #yap yap yap girl be QUIET 😭#i’ve spent most of today on this post smfh #sweetheart.txt #misc

okay. can neil sing? can any of the foxes sing? thoughts pleSe

okay i am not very good at Music stuff beyond just liking it, so i had to consult with my more musical friends @sillyunicorn and @starwarned ...i have a more informed opinion now. and im going to express it thru narrative, bc im me:

hold on to that feelin'

andreil, rated t, 1k

it’s been almost ten years since the palmetto state foxes won the ncaa championships and changed the world of exy.

neil knew there would be things that would happen — sports fans love an anniversary. but he thought maybe they’d do a ceremony back in palmetto, or a magazine write-up or something.

he had not expected a film studio to want to make a whole documentary on the subject. he had not expected to learn this news on a call with ichirou, who had told him in no uncertain terms that neil would agree to do the film, and that he would be as personable and camera-friendly as he could muster.

neil had especially not expected the filming to involve… karaoke.

it’s one of several excursions the crew has taken the old team on this weekend. the film will include interviews and old footage, but it will also be interspersed with clips of the team “hanging out.”

“the bond you all created is part of the narrative of your win,” the director told them. “we want to capture the fact that you were the first team of foxes that actually got along.”

no one corrects this narrative. the documentary is going to be the hollywood version of neil’s freshman year. it’s going to be sunshine and rainbows and campfires and bumper cars and, apparently karaoke.

“i’ve never done this before,” neil says, holding the microphone awkwardly.

“andrew!” nicky chides. “you’re the one responsible for giving him Real Boy lessons — how could you have deprived him of karaoke?”

andrew is lounging on one of the sofas in the small room they’re all crowded into, scrolling through the song selection to pick something for neil. “yes, because karaoke is something i obviously consider essential to the human experience."

“raise your hand if you’ve done karaoke before,” allison says. she’d gone first, singing a show tune that drew complaints from half the room in a booming, enthusiastic voice. everyone except neil and kevin lifts a palm — including a reluctant andrew. “okay, yes, this makes sense. kevin, you’re next.”

andrew stops scrolling. “you know this one,” he tells neil. “just follow the lyrics on the screen.”

the title and artist flash up on the screen, but neil doesn’t recognize them. he slides andrew a look, but andrew only gestures impatiently back to the screen.

just a small town girl

livin’ in a lonely word

“oh,” neil says, finally recognizing the song despite the instrumental version playing. “i do know this.”

“then sing it!” dan says.

“just a city boy, born and raised in south detroit…”

neil sings. he can’t remember if he’s ever tried before, and he’s not sure if it’s going as intended. a couple of foxes laugh, and he’s self-aware to know that’s probably a bad sign. but whatever. how many of them made the us court? neil knows what he’s good at. and he’s done enough terrible commercial acting gigs to appease ichirou that he doesn’t much care about how bad he is at this type of shit.

the others join in for the chorus and carry him through to the end. the cameras are rolling, and neil can admit that he’s kind of having fun. he is killing this camera-friendly thing. he is definitely not going to get a knife to the gut this time around.

when he’s done, he turns back to the room. it’s quiet for a second, and then allison cackles so hard that she nearly falls off her stool. nicky and matt join in immediately. dan stands to give neil a hug, but she’s laughing too. renee hides her smile behind her hand.

“yeah, yeah,” neil says, waving them all off. he holds the mic out. “kevin, your turn.”

kevin puts on an air of confidence when he struts up to the makeshift stage. he chooses a song by the black-eyed peas, and his stance is rigid and determined as the music starts.

“i think i know this one too,” neil whispers to andrew once he sits down in the narrow space between him and matt. andrew knocks his elbow into neil’s side, shushing him.

hmmm. kevin doesn’t sound quite like the song that neil’s heard on the radio. he turns around once he’s done, glaring at the room, daring them to react. they do, anyway.

“there, i did it,” kevin says, dropping the mic to the floor and stomping off.

renee mostly sounds like she’s talking when she sings "hallelujah," but she smiles through the whole thing, so there’s less ridicule involved. matt and nicky give and energetic duet on a shania twain song that neil has heard each of them singing in the shower at different points before, and alison says it makes her ears bleed. aaron earns a surprised slow clap after singing “someone like you” by adele — “a doctor who played exy and can SING… maybe katelyn isn’t settling after all,” nicky comments. dan goes all out for a whitney houston song.

“are you going to go?” neil asks andrew when nicky takes the stage for a second time.

“absolutely not,” andrew murmurs, eyes on his cousin. neil huffs a laugh, but settles against andrew’s side to watch the rest of the madness.

later, when neil and andrew are back at the hotel, neil crawls across the bed to where andrew is sitting. andrew pulls neil in by the collar of his shirt for a kiss.

“aaron can sing,” neil says against andrew’s mouth.

andrew shoves him back, making a face. “and?”

“is it genetic?”

“i don’t know.”

“hmmm,” neil says, flopping onto his back beside andrew. “i’ve never heard you sing. i’m curious now.”

“that’s because i don’t sing,” andrew says.

neil sighs, knowing a dead end when he sees one. “fine.”

he gets up to get ready for bed, and then nearly dozes off when andrew takes his turn in the bathroom. he blinks a few times when andrew crowds against neil’s back, pressing kisses to the side of neil’s neck. neil is nearly asleep again when andrew’s voice pulls him back, soft and slow:

“blackbird singing in the dead of night

take these broken wings and learn to fly…”

neil doesn’t really know what constitutes as good or bad. but he knows that he likes the sound of andrew’s voice. he wraps his fingers around andrew’s wrist where is lays on him stomach, and andrew goes quiet again.

“keep going?” neil requests, voice only a whisper.

andrew heaves a sigh.

“all your life,

you were only waiting for this moment to arise…”

It took me a while to notice that the Encanto gramma predicates them “deserving” the miracle (survivor’s guilt there) on them using their gifts for everyone who asks for help, all day, no rest, and tries to make sure no one in the town ever feels alone or unprotected, but not only is that making the kids feel exhausted and inauthentic and unseen; it’s also making her unable to deal with reality (the miracle faltering); and it’s also probably the reason Bruno felt like his gift was hurting everyone, bc it made the villagers really uncomfortable. At first the way “we don’t talk about Bruno” presents him made me think he was walking around telling people bad news unasked, but then he says everyone kept asking him, they just didn’t like the answers. So the town feeling unsafe around him made abeula feel like they were failing them.

And! The way Pepa tells her part of the song makes it sound like everything was sunshine at the wedding until he said what he said. But her husband corrects her “there wasn’t a cloud in the sky” to “no clouds ALLOWED in the sky.” And then at the end Bruno said “I could see that you were stressing,” which presumably means she did already have a little cloud when he showed up. But every time Pepa shows a cloud Abuela yells at her. She’s even dressed all in yellow with sun earrings, she’s trying to hard to stay sunny for Abuela. So she revised it in her memory to Bruno causing it. But then at the end when he tells her he wishes she would just feel all her feelings, her husband says “I’ve been saying that” and at the very end she’s dancing in the snow.

And at first I thought Mirabel had no gift but she and Bruno have almost the same gift! He had future sight and she has inner sight—she can see the cracks in the house before they appear, she can see Luisa’s trauma visually as she explains it. And at first she seems more determined than Bruno to follow through on her gift, but by the end she followed the same route as him—she ran off convinced she’d failed them. But bc Abuela had been through it already with Bruno she was able to make a different choice this time and follow Mirabel and let her teach her. I wonder if Abuela had inner sight too, since Mirabel seems poised to inherit the rest of her gift—house and candle guardian. She pretends she doesn’t believe the magic is faltering but then privately admits she knows, so is it bc she can see it too and was in denial? Or she just guessed bc of what happened to Mirabel?

The fact that Bruno saw the future still in doubt means the visions were multi layered anyway. And adjusting to free will as it happened. I love that Bruno’s prophecies are fluid like that. How the meaning shifts in response to what they choose. Dolores takes his prophecy and chooses to go get her man, Isabela takes it and gets new dreams of her own. So it doesn’t hurt them. I love how all of them develop so much more dimension to their gifts when they’re allowed to use it for themselves and not just for service! Selfishness!! It’s so necessary! I think it’s one of the best forms of healing trauma!! Bc our idea of selfishness gets so twisted. i’ve heard some people say they wished they hadn’t gotten their gifts back. They thought it would be more powerful if they didn’t, but I think the point is that the gifts are just who they are, it’s not really about them being magic. The house only amplifies the gift.

We never really get to see Mirabel’s moms inner life, which makes sense because that’s how we are with our parents at that age. But I do wonder if she had any adjusting she needed to do..

Also fascinating how Dolores is the one after Bruno who sees how things are most accurately, and she sees how nobody wants to hear what he sees, so she stays quiet about her perceptions about what she hears and just reports what she’s asked for neutrally, almost mechanically (unless it’s a major emergency, lol). Like Mirabel says Dolores will tell everyone, but she never argued with anyone about Bruno being bad even though she knew it was more complicated than that, she never tells anyone she still hears him sometimes, she reports “he wants five babies” with the barest quirk of her mouth, she never once mentions Isabela’s bf is her dream man even though Bruno told her that would happen years ago. Her verse about Bruno is by far the most perceptive but she almost whispers it. And only tells Mirabel things if she’s asked. It's so traumatic to be the one who sticks out, who can’t hide the gift so it antagonizes everyone. But it’s almost as traumatic to be the one who has to stifle their gift and not to use it nearly to its potential because so they’ve seen what will happen.

It’s SO layered and so dang accurate to how trauma plays out generationally and I’ve rewatched it three times and still keep noticing things and WOW. And Dos Origuitas makes me cry. Bc it’s layered too! It’s not just “you’ll transform through trauma,” it’s “the process of transformation may take you away from the people you went through the trauma with, and that’s ok, you have to let each other go and trust the cocoon and that you’ll find each other again after if you can” and that’s a lot!!!

#encanto #just found this in my drafts #apparently I was full of thoughts but forgot to publish #I stand by this #hell of a portrayal of trauma #and generational healing #Bruno madrigal made me feel everything

List of dramas that I am watching or want to watch, just for personal record reasons:

Cdramas:

The ingenious one (36/36): this drama has blown me away so far with its incredibly nuanced and sharp writing, its love stories between all the major couples and the absolutely magnificent cinematography. FINISHED verdict: HIGHLIGHT drama of the year for me so far. Smart, engaging, complicated, peak romance of all sorts, just what the doctor ordered tbh (overly long review can be found in my tags). 9.5

Chang Feng Du (40/40): I did not realise how close to the end I was. This drama is very pleasant and I adore our mains, but sadly except for a few highlights (the early beating gjs put on himself, the destruction of the gu family and the aftermath, the battle for wangdu) the writing hasn’t been able to keep the narrative tension up which is sad. FINSHED verdict: Very pretty and engaging in the beginning kinda loses me in the second half and then fizzles out emotionally, doesn't crash and burn but doesn't exactly stick the landing either 6.5

Gone with the rain (10/30): adore the gremlin4gremlin couple and from the spoilers I’ve seen not gonna adore much else

An ancient love song (1/16): incredible first episode and with only 30 min per ep and 16 eps in total this is gonna be a short fun ride I hope ( with lots of angst and tears naturally).

Here we meet again (18/32): started this for Wu Qian playing to type and Zhang BinBin being pretty but oh boy I’m struggling I just don’t care about the conflicts and in s surprising twist, I like the flashbacks to high school much much more, which is very funny if you think about the fact that the reason I started liking wu qian in the first place was because of her show stealing performance in the flashbacks of My Sunshine. I’ve been promised kisses in the near future so I’m gonna hold out till then but this might end up another drop.

Hidden Love (5/25): this one promises to be v sweet and kinda short but oh my god I have so many dramas on my plate rn so this might end up the first drop.

Till the end of the moon (22/40): I think I watched ep 1 when it started but then I got busy and now I am just staring at gifsets and crying, it’s definitely on the list to watch tho.

Heroes (6?/38): I started this a while ago, was really into it and then got busy… dammit. I might just rewatch the beginning so I can remember most of the set up for sure but man the visuals on this were so good, aaaa liu yuning.

Blood of youth (0/40): the last 12 months really have spoiled us with interesting looking wuxia dramas and this one is definitely on the list, I have been gifbaited once again.

Ray of light (0/30): usually hs dramas are something I avoid, but because I will not be watching the longest promise, for reasons, and bc @storge is a gifmaking temptress, this has made it on the list.

The legend of anle (0/39): Lmao trust YOUKU to screw up the release with bad subs only 1 ep even for vips and no released schedule… but at least I can put this on the backburner for now. Lmao should have known not to trust a youku dilreba drama, the tl has soundingly spoken and I'm gonna avoid this.

Ancient Detective (0/24): I was recced this by a friend when I mentioned my love for wuxia dramas, and since it’s almost shockingly short for a cdrama it’s on the list. EDIT: this got @purplehanfus seal of approval so it is def going up the list and since it's complete I'll probably at least watch it before the ongoing ones.

Butterflied love (0/22): see I barely made this post and already forgot about the screencap that got me started on writing it, the screencapa look great, but the drama is on mango, so who knows when I’ll truly be able to watch this

When I fly towards you (0/24): Well, I wasn't interested bc modern youth drama, but then I heard it described as "updated It Started with a Kiss" and... I'm weak? ISWAK was pretty much my crack gateway into asian dramas and while IDK if i could rewatch it today, something in me will always love this kind of story. Maybe it's like a quick palate cleanser in between since apparently eps are only about 30 mins.

Mysterious Lotus Casebook(0/40): CHENG YIIIII, in a possibly bromantic role? Or maybe het romance, I'll take it all. Plus I've already seen he's bleeding copious amounts as per his contract, so that's most of the checklist done.

Lost You Forever (0/??): because nature abhors a vacuum I apparently must have?? A minimum to watch pile and this actually and genuinely looks good??? A Yang Zi drama in 2023??? The mind boggles. Anyway I've been reading the recaps with delight, and am def going to watch this when part two airs in a couple of months but until then I have a thankful reprieve...

Kdramas:

See you in my 19th life (4/12): since kdramas release so slowly this is on the backburner but it does have some great gifsets that keep enticing meee

King the land (2/16): I am watching this for junho but it is kinda hard bc I have so much else on my plate and while I don’t mind a classic romcom type story I feel I need a bit more of an emotional hook

Story of the nine-tailed 1938 (0/16): so so many gorgeous and hilarious gifsets so little time. I loved season one so so much and the fact that this focuses on the brotherly relationship?? Extremely smart writing decisions were made!

The red sleeve (0/16): I blame @dangermousie for this she keeps reblogging angsts junho on my dash and I am but god’s weakest warrior.

Love tractor (0/8): gay himbo farmboy falls in love?? You bet this is on the list

Lady durian (0/?): ok this is only on the list for crack reasons but, daughter in law is in love with mother in law and both women are like 40+ truly kdramas have entered a new era and I kinda wanna be here for that

EDIT: Revenant (0/12): Kim Tae Ri in a spooky drama? POSSIBLY POSSESSED KIM TAE RI??? how could i forget to put her on this list, plus it was written by the Kingdom writer and I adore that drama plus it's only 12 eps which is smart in this case so... let's hope i get to it at some point D:

My dearest (2/20): I checked this out because it's got pretty much everything going for it from a production standpoint and boy did the first two eps deliver. This has got 2 seasons though so I'll probably wait until the second season is airing, since it won't be too long till season 2 or so the internet tells me.

My lovely liar (0/16): minhyun learned to act and I wanna see it happen!!

Jdramas:

Our dining table (2/10): ok this category is gonna be a bit shorter bc I haven’t watched too much drama recently but omg the gifs for this I am just crying thinking about it they look so cute??

Jack o‘frost (0/6): people have recced it and it’s short so here it is.

Utsukushii kare s2 (0/4): Season 1 was an unexpected delight so I hope s2 works just as well.

She loves to cook and she loves to eat (0/10): the manga for this is amazing (and hungry making) so I hope this adaptation holds up.

Ok this list is in no way exhaustive (well except for me being exhausted just trying toward this down) and probably subject to change ( I haven’t even looked at thaidramas or twdramas I gotta stop for now) but hopefully this will keep me on the ball and maybe I can add to it whenever a new tempting gifset crosses my dash…

a prayer for tigers (wenrene!chill kill)

wow it took me a month and lowkey almost gave up on it but we are starting new years resolutions early and one of them is to NOT give up on new writing projects 🫡

anyway fk sm for giving me wenrene teaser pics for no reason bc this is what happens when i'm blueballed...a 4k fic.

CW: not-too-explicit desc of violence + very vaguely ✨artistically✨ suggestive word count: ~4000

nobody else knew that seungwan was flames and fire.

joohyun remembered when she didn’t have to be that way, when life hadn’t folded them into the strange shadows they lived as now. son seungwan had been the bright girl down the street, the one who gathered the wildflowers from her yard and thrust her bouquet into joohyun’s hand before the schoolboys could. her smile was ceaseless, her voice like sunshine, the warmth of her affection tinging their school days and sleepovers with something that made shy joohyun’s heart skip a beat.

seungwan’s fire was warm and safe. she braided yerim’s hair and wiped sooyoung’s tears, her embraces and kind eyes enough to persuade the younger ones’ confessions to what ailed them. when joohyun was at a loss, seungwan would step past her, wrapping her arms around whichever one needed to be heard. when seungwan crawled into their shared bed late that evening, joohyun would be awake for her debrief, listening silently as seungwan retold what she had heard.

seungwan wasn’t a particularly tearful person, but joohyun could hear when her voice wavered, reaching out to wipe the tears from her cheeks.

“you’re so strong, seungwan,” joohyun said softly. seungwan curled closer, her small frame wracked with silent sobs. “i couldn’t take care of them without you.”

“this has to stop,” seungwan breathed. “i’ll…i’ll make it stop.”

joohyun only sighed, hugging the younger girl tighter. “it’s too dangerous, it’s always been too dangerous. you know that.”

but seungwan was quiet. that should’ve been enough of a sign for joohyun. she knew that seungwan only went silent when she’d made a decision.

but none of it mattered when seungwan shifted in the dark, and pressed her lips against joohyun’s.

–

“unnie.”

seulgi stood in the middle of the kitchen, staring at joohyun’s back. the eldest was whisking a hopelessly lumpy batter, too absorbed in the task to look up.

“what’s up?” joohyun tasted the mix and wrinkled her nose at the taste of stale flour. “did you find the streamers?”

“yeah.” seulgi stepped forward. “and this.”

joohyun’s gaze landed on what her half-sister had tossed onto the counter. a polaroid, taken on one of joy’s cameras: wendy’s head turned to press a kiss on joohyun’s cheek, a shaky selfie, with the words “my joohyunnie” scrawled in unmistakable handwriting on its border.

“oh–” joohyun reached for it, but seulgi was too fast, snatching it back. the older sister couldn’t bring herself to look the other in the eye.

“are you and seungwan…?” seulgi’s tone was unreadable, measured. joohyun’s cheeks were flaming, her heart threatening to burst out of her chest.

“it’s not what it looks like,” joohyun said.

“what does it look like?” seulgi asked. joohyun turned around to face her. seulgi had her arm outstretched, holding up the photo for joohyun to see again.

a blurry smile on joohyun’s lips, seungwan’s pink cheeks visible even in the desaturated colors of the expired film. a heart punctuating the end of her name, in the handwriting of a girl she had always loved.

her sister lowered her arm, catching joohyun’s gaze for the first time. there was a gentle sorrow in her eyes, but joohyun knew she had been silly to fear judgment from kang seulgi.

“i think i’ve always liked her,” joohyun said softly. “since before we were…” she trailed off.

seulgi handed the photo back to her. “how long has it been?”

“a month.”

“i’m glad you have each other.”

“yeah.” joohyun was silent for a moment, staring down at the photo. “though i want you to know that this doesn’t change anything about us, as a family. and if…” she looked up earnestly. “if anything happens between us, we promised that it would never affect you guys.”

“do yerim and sooyoung know?”

“we haven’t told them.” joohyun tucked the photo into her pocket, turning to resume her whisking so she would have something to do with her hands.

“they should know, too.” seulgi said, placing a light hand on her sister’s shoulder. “it’s not fair to them.”

“yeah.” joohyun set the bowl aside, leaning heavily on the counter’s edge. “we’ll talk, after yerim’s birthday.”

–

“there isn’t much left.”

yerim’s smile sagged as she spoke, watching seulgi spark a weak lighter over their singular birthday candle. the bic was nearly out of fluid by now, a treasured find that He had once dropped on the stairs and the girls had quickly squirreled away.

“well, we’d better be quick then,” seungwan said, quickly bursting into song. “happy birthday to you–”

joohyun touched seungwan’s arm and the girl lowered her voice. the others joined in, their song hushed as yerim stared, hypnotized by the tiny wavering flame on her strange cake. when the song ended she leaned forward, extinguishing the candle in a careful puff.

“our baby, all grown up.” seungwan squeezed yerim into a hug until the maknae protested. seulgi and joohyun tucked in next to the pair as sooyoung snapped a quick photo, giggling in satisfaction as she watched the polaroid develop. joohyun leapt up on quiet feet to begin distributing cake, watching the younger ones break into excited chatter, fawning over their yerimie. seulgi began to teach the girls the new song and dance she had been working on for this evening’s festivities. the girls shoved the furniture to the corners of the room to make space for their party.

joohyun’s heart felt lighter than it had been in a long time. birthdays were never easy, every year that ticked by a reminder of how long they had lived between these walls.

the middle kids were february birthdays, spent huddled at the fireplace while they hummed old songs and shared hot chocolate; sooyoung was early september, when they savored the briefly livable weather and threw open the windows to let in the cool autumn breeze. and march belonged to yerim, then joohyun. the winter would be slowly shaking itself off by yerim’s day, and the weather finally thawed by joohyun’s.

the eldest never liked celebrations like the younger girls did. last year, she’d begged them to let it go by without fanfare. they still passed her small gifts over dinner.

when night fell on her birthday and joohyun lay awake, thinking too much, seungwan tugged her out of bed. they tiptoed to their largest window, joohyun watching in silent shock as seungwan carefully maneuvered the once-welded bolt out of its socket. the girl brushed orange rust off of her palms, seemingly familiar with the motions as she slipped on her barely-worn sneakers. joohyun watched with growing trepidation as the younger girl tested the edge of the windowsill with her palms.

“seungwan, no–!”

she hoisted herself over the low wall, landing quietly on the forest floor still dampened by the snow melt. joohyun’s urgent beckoning went unheeded.

“keep watch for me,” seungwan whispered with a nervous grin, before disappearing into the trees. joohyun only caught brief glimpses of seungwan’s shining dark hair in the filtered moonlight, her heart pounding in her throat for what felt like a year.

but she eventually returned, lifting a fragrant bouquet of wildflowers to joohyun before scrabbling over the sill.

“look,” seungwan breathed, stepping closer until her forehead grazed joohyun’s. “pheasant’s eye. like the ones in my backyard…” joohyun looked into seungwan’s eyes, shining in the moonlight that filtered through the open window. “we can’t be that far from home.”

“they could be growing anywhere,” joohyun said, her voice cracking at the end of her sentence. she could feel the heat of seungwan’s skin near her own, the exertion of the younger girl’s escapade contained in the flush on her high cheeks. “not just near home.”

“this is the exact bouquet i used to pick for you.” seungwan had said, stepping back until the cold air returned to joohyun. she clutched seungwan’s gift, feeling the roughness of the wild stems on her palms. “the forest looked familiar, unnie.”

joohyun shut her eyes against sudden tears, unsure if seungwan could see her face when it was backlit by the open window. her voice was steady, practiced from years of remaining strong.

“we can’t be sure. we’d get lost and die out there, or he’d find us again.”

seungwan was silent long enough for joohyun to open her eyes. the younger girl had turned to the window, carefully pulling it shut and re-latching the false lock. when she turned back to look joohyun in the eye, she had that spitfire in her eyes, a quiet determination that joohyun knew she couldn’t have stopped.

“we have to try.”

—

the house rumbled like thunder, sending the girls scurrying to the corners of the room like startled mice. joohyun’s heart sank.

not today, of all days…

“maybe he’s just stomping around,” seulgi offered in a hushed voice. joohyun stepped across the room to gather the other girls close.

but the ceiling thundered again, and a familiar incoherent shout rang through the old house.

“he’s drunk,” yerim muttered. “shit.”

joohyun exhaled shakily, muttering a brief prayer before stepping toward the latched door.

“wait–” sooyoung stammered, grabbing joohyun’s wrist. “he might fall asleep soon, if he’s drunk enough.”

“no, you know that won’t happen,” joohyun said. “i’ll be back quick, don’t worry. just stay quiet down here, finish the cake.”

“seungwan unnie!”

joohyun turned to see seungwan had her hand on the rusty door handle already, shaking off yerim’s desperate grasp.

“shush,” seungwan put her finger to her lips. “it’ll be okay.”

“seungwan-ah…” joohyun said softly, but the glint in seungwan’s eyes was something she knew wouldn’t back down.

“i’ll be back.”

son seungwan disappeared up the stairs, the other girls watching in bated breath. joohyun reached out and gently towed yerim back away from the door.

“let’s finish the cake,” joohyun whispered, stroking the maknae’s cheek. they settled on the floor in silence, unable to resist straining their ears for any sounds above them.

the house was well soundproofed, save for when He stomped around, or shouted at the top of his lungs. so when the house shook slightly, joohyun’s heart skipped a beat or two. a second stomp came just a split second later. the girls’ heads whipped around to joohyun, their gazes filled with a terror that the eldest struggled to keep from her expression.

“It’s–”

there was a crash, the sound of something–-multiple things–falling and breaking. He roared something incomprehensible–then, it happened. a quake louder than anything they had heard before, a boom that shook the bones of the old manor with finality.

“no!” sooyoung cried out, leaping to her feet and running for the door. seulgi caught her before she could reach it, wrapping her arms around the taller girl’s waist and tugging her backward with surprising strength. the two crashed to the floor, seulgi’s breath knocking out of her as sooyoung sobbed.

yerim reached the wall before the others could, pressing her ear up against the splintered wood. joohyun’s heart raced as she followed suit, and soon the four listened in silence. she could see the tears streaming down yerim’s cheeks and squeezed the maknae’s hand, trying to suppress her own trembling.

the house was deathly quiet, as still as a corpse. joohyun could hear nothing but the shaky breaths of the four waiting on this side of the door. maybe He had passed out in his drunken state, joohyun hoped. seungwan was too light to have fallen that heavily…

“we have to go,” seulgi said suddenly, pushing the others back as she tugged the old door open. the hinge squeaked loudly, and the stairs groaned under their feet, but it didn’t matter anymore.

“be careful, he might have the gun–” joohyun hissed as seulgi pushed the door open. there wasn’t a sound as they trailed in.

joohyun craned her neck at the gasps of the other girls. her eyes lit upon the scene, and her stomach lurched.

a smashed mess of furniture, porcelain, and glass. not an entirely foreign sight–He got clumsy and violent in his occasional drunken tantrums. joohyun had ascended the stairs to see similar messes before.

what wasn’t familiar were scarlet pools of blood on the patterned wood, glinting a deep jewel red, like the strawberry jam joohyun had layered into yerim’s cake.

what a strange place her mind retreated to. but her worst fears were assuaged as she looked up to see seungwan turn to regard them across the room.

untouched save for droplets of blood down her left cheek, like berry tears on an ashen face.

sooyoung screamed.

–

“girls, we have to clean up, okay?”

joohyun wrapped a tight arm around sooyoung’s shaking shoulders, willing herself to stay calm. adrenaline coursed through her veins, firing every nerve in her extremities until she felt more alert than she ever had before in her life.

“seulgi-yah, can you go get the rags from the mud room?” joohyun commanded more than asked. “and yerim, fill a bucket with water and…and bleach.” she swallowed, squeezing sooyoung’s upper arm and struggling to hold the tallest girl up. “let’s sit down, sooyoung.”

she helped her to the nearest chair, nodding briskly to seulgi and yerim, who scurried down the creaking stairs.

joohyun rubbed sooyoung’s back as the girl’s sobs began to quieten. she looked up across the room at the quiet figure standing on the bloodied carpet. seungwan had her fist clenched at her side, the other hand still clutching the shattered vase. she had her back turned to the others, staring at the man’s crumpled form.

joohyun couldn’t stand looking at him. she stood up slowly, picking her way across the mess to gently touch seungwan.

the younger girl startled, whipping around to an equally jumpy joohyun.

“seungwan, let’s…” she swallowed, staring into seungwan’s dazed eyes, if only to distract her own attention away from the corpse. “can we cover him up, with the carpet, maybe?”

“yeah,” seungwan said numbly. sooyoung watched from the chair as the two hauled the edge of the heavy carpet and folded it with a thud onto the body. joohyun cringed at the lump, the way blood had seeped into the underside of the carpet. she held seungwan’s hand tightly, guiding them to the edge of the room and letting her slide down the wall.

“it’s going to be okay,” joohyun said softly, if only to convince herself. “it’ll be okay.”

“i’m sorry.” seungwan looked up, tears smearing the dried blood on her cheeks. “i didn’t think. i’m sorry.”

joohyun shook her head vehemently, kneeling to press a kiss to seungwan’s forehead.

“you did it for us, seungwan-ah.”

she shut her eyes, feeling it settle anew on her shoulders. she steeled herself. it had been two years of hell–joohyun could figure out this new chapter too. whatever it took. for her girls, she would a million times over.

seulgi and sooyoung were the strongest of the five, but sooyoung was in no state to be anywhere near the body, so seulgi dragged the head of the carpet, while seungwan and joohyun handled the rear. she assigned the other two to scrubbing duties, watching yerim hand sooyoung a dampened rag with a steady hand. they would be okay for now.

the body thumped down every step of the staircase, a sickening drum beat against the labored panting of the three girls. He and the carpet were much too heavy to carry, so they turned the roll bloody-side up and tugged it down the hallway.

joohyun would’ve tired quicker if residual adrenaline wasn’t pulsing through her veins. she could see seulgi’s wide eyes, knew that her sister was feeling the same. seungwan was silent and uncomplaining, her expression devoid of even distress.

“the locks.” seulgi said as they arrived at the dusty foyer. joohyun stared blankly at the three iron deadbolts on the hardwood door, the location of the keys unknown to all except the dead man in the rug.

“we can push him through the window.” seungwan spoke up. “in the parlor room.”

joohyun nodded quickly, and they swiveled the rolled rug toward the familiar window, the portal through which seungwan had wandered into the woods.

the sun was warm, the afternoon absurd in its tranquil beauty. they hauled Him over the windowsill, watching it thump to the forest floor below and unravel slightly. seungwan vaulted over easily, turning to offer joohyun a hand down.

the eldest stumbled slightly, the mossy ground giving way under her thin slippers. seungwan caught her, and the two turned to look up at seulgi.

she was hesitating at the window’s edge, eyes filled with briefly lucid reticence.

“it’s okay,” joohyun called up to her, her voice louder than she had dared to speak for a long time. “it’s safe. seungwan’s been out here before.”

somewhat reassured, seulgi joined them and helped drag the rug through the trees. seungwan seemed to know where she was going, leading them to a clearing lined by a few fallen trees. the air smelled green, the freshness nearly unsettling after what felt like a lifetime in a musty, dilapidated prison.

“there’s a dry ditch,” seungwan panted. “down that way.”

they had no shovels with them, so they settled for dropping it into the pit, a bed of young clovers a poetically beautiful grave. joohyun felt a weary rage welling in her chest.

she wondered if they should leave Him wrapped in the carpet, or air Him out for the forest to consume faster. joohyun had always suspected He had lied about tigers prowling the surrounding woods, but now she couldn’t help but imagine the beast carrying away His remnants, leaving nothing behind for the girls to see ever again.

would the tiger develop a taste for men? joohyun toyed with the strange fantasy in her head as they wove their way back through the trees.

if the beast kept the men away, maybe yerim could grow up safely after all.

—

cobbling together a semblance of normalcy was joohyun’s priority. she moved like a steadfast ghost, retracing the same paths she had lived for two and a half years.

sweet seulgi only sang behind her bedroom door, which stayed shut whether she was hiding within or left it for mealtimes, or the bathroom. joohyun’s sister slept during the day, her songs carrying softly down the hall only after the girls had gone to bed. she passed joohyun and seungwan’s door, her humming carrying over her light footfalls, a singing night guard.

one evening, when joohyun heard seulgi switch the shower on, she crept into her stepsister’s room to see sheets of sketches pasted on the walls. they depicted the same subjects over and over: the five sisters together and separately, against silhouettes of the trees seulgi had witnessed exactly once while carrying the body out to the forest. the girl never expressed interest in venturing out again.

sooyoung’s disposition had always been fragile, and she had just gotten a handle on her anxiety when all of this transpired. now, joohyun wasn’t sure if they could ever get the old sooyoung back again. some days seemed better than others, when she would hum a soft tune and help joohyun go through the pantry for the umpteenth time. her eyes would crinkle into a light smile when joohyun placed a rare sugar cube in her mouth, and the eldest could’ve cried with joy.

but in the next moment, sooyoung’s eyes would fix on some invisible object or place, or she would recognize an old tin of His favorite biscuits, and she would burst into inconsolable tears. joohyun could only wrap her in a blanket and hand her tea, listening to her wails tire into sniffles and then exhausted sleep on the living room sofa. it pained her to throw away perfectly good biscuits, so she crushed them into breadcrumbs and tossed the tin into the trash.

yerim withdrew to the parlor room, taking in nothing but the staticky TV tuned to the same VHS tapes. she rarely joined the others at mealtimes, and stared glassily at the platters of food that joohyun tried so desperately to entice her with. when she crept into the parlor room later one night, turning down the volume to let the girl sleep, the rare rich meal of rice and stew was untouched and cold. only yerim’s favorite dried apricots were touched. joohyun watched with growing panic as her youngest wasted away, feeding the girl a dwindling stash of sweets in a hopeless bid against time.

by most measures, seungwan was doing the best out of them all. she trailed joohyun from room to room, ever helpful. she quickly learned joohyun’s routines, starting the morning kettle, sweeping the dust that blew onto window sills on windy nights, throwing open heavy curtains to let in the sunlight. while joohyun tidied or cooked, she’d disappear into the corners of the manor, dreadfully dark and cold passageways that joohyun could not bring herself to explore.

but seungwan’s laughter was silenced. the bright mirth that joohyun had once tried to keep quiet had departed, replaced by a stillness that depressed her most.

joohyun felt a bit like a groundskeeper, tending to a house of ghosts. it was a deathly quiet week before sooyoung and seulgi began to speak in full sentences, then conversations, even if stilted and hushed. joohyun found herself mostly worrying about kim yerim, and hurting for son seungwan.

—

it hadn’t occurred to joohyun that seungwan might have continued her forest escapades until her own birthday, when the eldest awoke at dawn to an empty bed and a vase of wildflowers on the bedside.

she stared dumbly at the blossoms, the arrival of spring in fragile expressions of defiance. always the same four types that joohyun admittedly did not know the name of, besides the pheasant’s eye that seungwan had pointed out a year ago.

exactly a year ago. joohyun exhaled, throwing back the covers and getting to her feet. even if joohyun refused her birthday, the spring flowers made the occasion known.

seungwan stepped into their bedroom, smelling of the forest and fresh laundry soap. joohyun looked into her eyes, feeling like her chest might burst with longing. her wannie stared back her.

“happy birthday, unnie,” she said, and kissed joohyun for the first time in weeks. they lay down in their tired old bed, and seungwan answered one of bae joohyun’s prayers.

–

joohyun rested her ear on seungwan’s chest, holding her breath to hear the steady rhythm of a heart and lungs, coupled in easy syncopation. seungwan’s gentle hands ran through her hair in a third tempo. she could’ve sworn the freedom she had always craved had found her in their tangled sheets.

“i found something yesterday,” seungwan’s voice vibrated against joohyun’s ear.

“hm?”

“a road.”

joohyun sat up quickly. “a road?” she repeated.

“old, but paved. i followed it as far as i could, i forgot the sun was setting and nearly got lost trying to get back.”

“seungwan!” joohyun gasped in disbelief, briefly panicked by the thought of her lost in the woods.

“a road, unnie.” seungwan repeated herself, her stare boring into joohyun’s. “it could be our way out.”

joohyun was quiet while her mind raced with a hundred new scenarios, all of which she had never ventured to consider until now. the eldest had let go of entertaining wishes a long time ago, when she set her mind to keeping the family alive, above all. the other girls needed dreams, so she let them. maybe that was what turned this house cold and empty; joohyun could never have conjured that hope alone.

and seungwan couldn’t either–so she had doggedly carved them an escape.

“this is it, unnie,” she whispered, sitting up. “we have to try.”

“the woods…” joohyun said. “he said it was too remote, that tigers would find us–”

“i found the way,” seungwan insisted. “and the road leads somewhere, he just didn’t want us to know. joohyun-ah,” she blurted her name, and joohyun looked up at her. “we’ll starve here.”

the eldest nodded slowly.

seungwan smiled, a gentle expression that let joohyun exhale deeply for the first time. the next breath was a flood of warm hope, filling her with a certainty that joohyun could’ve followed into war.

but she wouldn’t have to. joohyun’s prayers to flame-painted tigers were answered not by destruction, but by her gentle fire.

deliverance was familiar, and she smelled like spring.

🩷🎀 My DR List 🎀🩷

below is a pretty very long list of all the drs i’ve made scripts for

lmk if any of you want some more detail of any of them, dw i have EXTENSIVE detail on everything babes

don’t judge pls 😖😖 this is a safe space…hopefully 🩷

Fame DRs :

Phantasmagoria DR: my main fame dr where i’m the lead singer in a band called Phantasmagoria w my friends. We’re like, really famous. Like more famous than Taylor Swift famous. And I go on to become a really famous writer/director as well. This is the dr i think about all the time, i fucking rule guys. NO BAD SONGS. NO CONTROVERSIES. ONLY GOOD VIBES AND GREAT MUSIC. ofc i’m an EGOT and pretty much revitalize the film industry single handedly. 😋😘

Heartstopper Cast DR: i’m a part of the cast of Heartstopper (an OC named Vivienne Green - Harry’s sister - who’s besties with the group, helps Elle when she transfers school, and is Pansexual and eventually gets in a polycule). I’m honestly so cool in this one. I have my SHIT together at 19, like, it’s crazy. I’m dating Kit Connor cuz why not, and I eventually become one of the best actors of my generation no biggie 🤷🏻‍♀️

Harry DR 1: yes, I have more than one dr where i’m dating harry styles, who can blame me. I’m a songwriter that met Harry in his 1D days and became one of the band’s main songwriters. We became best friends after that and stayed close. We both become extremely famous in our respective areas in the music industry and are the power couple

Harry DR 2: this one came to me in a literal dream. I’m Harry’s secret fiance that literally no one knows about. My job is solving and rating puzzles (don’t ask me why idk either). I get pretty famous on tik tok for being one of those satisfying accs that people followed during the pandemic yk? Anyways, there’s this whole thing where I’m invited onto the Late Late Show to talk abt my job (Ellen style) and everyone loves me. Harry is just there ig

Harry DR 3 (LAST ONE): OK SO DONT JUDGE ME W THIS ONE. LET ME LIVE. so, basically, I’m Harry’s secret wife and - stay with me here - we have 6 children together. I really only wanted to go here bc I noticed how many tattoos he had of peoples names and i thought, hey, what if those were his kids’ names that he has tattooed on him and no one knows? like, why not? so this is a purely self-indulgent dr where I’m just living the domestic life with Harry Styles and our brood of children. this may or may not have been influenced by a fanfiction series i read

Hozier DR: in this one, I’m Mr. Andrew Hozier-Byrne’s girlfriend who lives with him in the Irish countryside. I’m a seamstress who has my own clothing brand. Think dresses to run through a field of flowers in, or to slowly decompose in a lake littered with petals yk? I end up making the dresses for the Folklore stretch of the Era’s tour. not to brag or anything hehe

MGG DR: I’m dating the one, the only, Matthew Gray Gubler. I just thought it would be really funny and interesting to go to a reality where him and I are pretty much polar opposites. I’m an ex-ballerina who still practices, so I have that grace and elegance around me. I love to dress in dark neutrals all year round. For my job, I’m a famous published horror author. I have an rbf and a WRY sense of humor. Literally black cat aesthetic to the max. And then there’s Matthew who’s a ball of sunshine compressed into colorful grandpa clothes. honestly i love this one

Tom Holland DR: okay so this one is from my Spider-Man phase. But i actually love it so much. I play Felicia Hardy in the Spider-Man films, who is as much of a love interest as MJ in this reality. Tom and I actually grew up together since I would always vacation at my aunt’s house in the UK who was also neighbors to the Hollands. We’ve always ‘hated’ each other growing up (when really we were closer to each other than anyone else) and so when we started working together on the Spider-Man movies, all those underlying feelings started coming to the surface

The Joes DR: Okay, so. In this one, I play Chrissy Cunningham in Stranger Things. Her character is actually a lot different than in this reality where she’s actually secretly dating Eddie Munson behind Jason’s back. She doesn’t die, her friend Angie does, so Eddie and Chrissy join the party to save the world n stuff. Basically, Joe Quinn (his name is Thomas in this reality) and I got really close on set and are rly flirty hehe. And, to make it even better, we ALSO have a thing with Joe Keery as well (hence the name change to make my life easier). So we’re all a budding throuple and we kinda try to sneak that dynamic into the show hehe. note: certain actors aren’t poopy people in this reality and don’t support genocide 🙄)

Hogwarts DRs:

Draco DR: this was my first ever dr! draco tok got me into shifting. I’m a gryffindor who’s friends w the golden trio. I transferred into Hogwarts in 4th year and pretty much just am there for the ride as the canon happens. I’m in a secret relationship w Draco (shocking ik) and he’s actually not a bad person. i obvi scripted out the supremist in him guys, dw. i actually have so much detail about all the ways we meet up behind everyone’s back and stuff. you never forget your first guys 🩷

Tom Riddle DR: AGAIN. BEAR WITH ME. ITS NOT BAD. basically Hogwarts is more of an elite rich kid college for wizards than a high school type place. BLOOD SUPREMACY DOESNT EXIST. But there is a whole powerful family hierarchy. kind of like a mob family thing??Instead of Slytherins being the ones most likely to be death eaters, they’re the ones most likely to be from those more powerful families. The Riddles are one of the most powerful families (and rich bc sorry but i’m not dating a poor orphan guys). I’m a Gryffindor who transfers in and becomes besties with the Slytherin group (Theo, Enzo, Mattheo -i’m a mattheo truther, never matthew- Blaise, Pansy, and Draco). Anyways, I fall for Tommy bc of his whole dark and broody best friend’s older brother thing he has going on.

MCU DRs:

Peter Parker DR 1: i’m obsessed w the idea of being genius buddies w Peter Parker and eventually taking over SI, so this is that. We’ve been best friends and neighbors since we were little, and got bit by spiders at the same time. I’m Silk, and we fight crime tgt. We’re both geniuses and go to Midtown together. When we meet Tony Stark, him and Pepper pretty much take us under their wings and we become their heirs to SI. We revolutionize the tech industry before we even graduate high school, we’re that smart. example: we build a water filter that we use to completely clean the Hudson River. we create inter-dimensional communication to talk w the other spidey gang after we get sucked into a rift and meet miles. on like a random tuesday too. I absolutely love this one, i put SO MUCH DETAIL into this script it’s actually insane.

Peter Parker DR 2: My first Peter dr that i made, but kind of abandoned. Him and I have an enemies to loves relationship bc after talking w Ned, he thinks the way to attract me is to act as if he doesn’t care about me 🙄. these dumbasses. anyways, i’m Tony’s adoptive daughter who he rescued from these evil scientists who gave me powers n stuff. it was a pretty cool concept when i first thought of this reality. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Stucky DR: Takes place in the 1940s at first, bc I’m best friends and eventually dating Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes. The three of us are a force to be reckoned with guys. I’m super fucking smart, Steve is super fucking stubborn, and Bucky is super fucking protective. So, chaos basically. I’m really interested in science and am offered a spot to work on the super soldier serum by Howard Stark. Canon events become canon, I create SHIELD with my besties Howie and Peggy, Howie tells me he’d been working on cryogenics but needs a volunteer to test it, so I agree. I wake up in 2017, after the Civil War was actually dealt with civilly and am reunited with my loves in the present time. One of my favorites that I ever scripted out. 🩷

Misc. DRs:

Peaky Blinders DR: I was a nurse during the war that took care of Tommy and his brothers, and him and I became really close and fell in love. We reconnected a couple of years after the war ended, and I basically become his right hand when it comes to all the Peaky business. He trusts me more than anyone else because we’re both ass over tits in LOVE with each other. Like, yall don’t understand how in love we are. Also, you know that scene of Elle Woods pulling up to Harvard in a full pink outfit? Literally me every single day. Me in my lil pink blazer and skirt sets and the brightest fucking smile on my face making everyone confused why tf someone is as happy as i am in birmingham of all places. Everyone thinks i’m ditzy and just Tommy’s arm candy when rly im the smartest person in the room at all times. i just love to manipulate people into thinking im harmless and then learning all their secrets 🩷🩷🎀

Haikyu DR: i’m the manager of Karasuno that takes over for Kiyoko. I’m the granddaughter of Nekoma’s coach, so i know all about the game and play just as good as the players. Just because those 4 minutes of him had me licking the screen, i’m Kiyoomi Sakusa’s girlfriend. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH ITS CRAZY. we have a whole friend group with Ushijima, Tendo, Iizuna, Komori, and Atsumu. Imagine the chaos that group brings everywhere. It’s such a fun dr, i should really revisit it more often.

Lloyd Hansen DR: i watched the gray man and this man with his white pants and pornstache burrowed his way into my heart. pretty much im his ditzy lil girlfriend who he adores and just skips around the place in pink and he spoils endlessly. 🩷

Mafia DR: didn’t really flesh this one out, but the gist is that i meet this guy in college and he turns out to be a part of the mob. 🤷🏻‍♀️ and so yeah.

Whore DR: yes, I have a whore dr. hehe. don’t judge me but like, a reality where slut shaming doesn’t exist and you can live out your horniest fantasies w/o any judgement whatsoever. bc that’s completely normal. 😋😋

Sunny DR: this is a better cr one, where i’m pretty much just really fucking smart and in a FANTASTIC AND LOVING relationship with this guy named Peter. He sadly doesn’t exist in this reality 😞😞. But he’s literally the sweetest ever and he’s blond, so I call him Sunny. Like, my sunshine boy ☀️. Literally everything i want in like, a mundane life is in this reality. also, for no other reason than i think it’s so funny, peter happens to be the son of one of my teachers in school. Why? i have no fucking clue 😭😭. like, i go to his house to meet his dad and he’s my fucking history teacher. it’s mortifying but absolutely fucking hilarious.

Criminal Minds DR: i join the BAU after Emily’s whole arc where she dips, and everyone but Hotch and Spencer are a bit prickly with me. I’m best friends and eventually get into a friends with benefits relationship with him (which is so out of character it’s crazy, but let me live). We obvi get our shit together and just start dating and become a power couple hehe

Deity DR: literally thought of this 2 days ago 😭. most of the details are on my prev posts, so you can check those out

Narnia DR: last but not least, I’m a human who was transported to Narnia a few years after the Pevensies saved Narnia from the White Witch. However, I’m instead sent to a nearby country where they take me in and basically make me their crowned princess. After a couple of years, I meet and fall in love w Edmund Pevensie. All Hail Queen Rosemary the Radiant. 🩷

THIS SHIT IS SO LONG TF. I DIDNT REALIZE HOW MANY SCRIPTS I MADE 😭😭😭😭

anyways, if you read all of this i love you 🩷

thanks to @luvieshifts for giving me the motivation to write all of this out

OKAY IM GOING TO SLEEP NOW GN POOKIE BEARS

you are the universe and more, babes 🎀

taylor, the anon reminds me your iconic gilmore girls edits as taylor albums… so, i gotta ask, who’s midnights?

Okay so I’m glad Midnights wasn’t out when I made that edit bc this is a VERY hard question, especially because I’ve already used up essentially all of the main characters…who are we left with: Kirk? Taylor? Miss Patty? Babette?? I saw this tag the other day and it pains me. It really does because I don’t want to acknowledge this character but he probably gives us the most to work with 😔 (no offense to the person who tagged it ofc you made some points!!! <3)

Lavender Haze: the only kind of girl HE sees IS a one-night or a wife!

Anti-Hero: he’s the problem. it’s him. I AM tired of his scheming! “Taylor, you’ll be fine” that’s him giving Taylor the weekly Doose’s profit report. him ghosting is unrealistic though, if there’s one thing that boy is going to do it’s fill an answering machine.

Midnight Rain: he wanted a bride, she was making her own name! and he does eventually get the picture-perfect, shiny family. sunshine though????…..🤨

Vigilante Shit: no more dressing like 50s housewives for him. “picture me thick as thieves with your ex-wife,” I’d like to see it!!

Bejeweled: Lindsay anthem, maybe I’d give this album to her 🤔 “familiarity breeds contempt, don’t put me in the basement when I want the penthouse of your heart” is very Dean lashing out at Lindsay when he’s secretly seeing Rory, all while she’s trying to cook the perfect dinner for him

Mastermind: Dean stalking watching Rory while she reads her books, trying to win her back from Jess under the guise of just wanting to be her friend

The Great War: “cursed you as I sleep-talked” > him saying Rory’s name while he’s passed out after his bachelor party, another Lindsay anthem “maybe it was egos swinging, maybe it was her”

High Infidelity: can be Lindsay x Dean vs Rory x Dean or Rory x Dean vs Rory x Jess, “your picket fence is sharp as knives,” “I bent the truth too far tonight I was dancing around it” (literally dance marathon ep), “there’s many different ways that you can kill the one you love, the slowest way is never loving them enough,” “storm coming, good husband, bad omen, dragged my feet right down the aisle, at the house lonely, good money I’d pay if you’d just know me, seemed like the right thing at the time,” “do I really have to tell you how he brought me back to life?”

Glitch: he’s a dude that gives nothing

Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve: I see this one get suggested a lot and I get the idea (Rory sleeping with Dean being a kind of turning point for her character) but I think an age-gap is kind of essential to that dynamic

#anti dean forester #light-hearted though #I’m just having a laugh #thegreatwars #ask #asks

bom dia nikkaa!! ik u have a lot of asks in ur inbox rn so I hope this isn’t annoying to have me in here as well but I’ve not sent one of my silly little asks to u in soooo long so I hope I’m excused 🤭 anyways omg I missed u like crazy!! esp all of our little chats in the morning and night I was like what am I supposed to do w all my nikka time!! but hehe I’m just being silly I’m rlly glad ur feeling better and have gotten some good rest away from this hellsite!! take all the time u want we can all wait for as long as u need bc to (mis)quote ney ur happiness is my happiness!! and there’s nothing more important to me than ur happiness ok!! 🫶🏼💛💛💛 love u my sunshine!! ☀️💛💛

ofc! yi and a giant emotional ask making me cry sappy tears in this very pleasant afternoon!!!!! :')

i know we already talked in private, but i need to reassure how sorry i am for the slight possibility, of have worried you, or made you sad with my absence. you are always, ALWAYS on my mind. i didn't lie about that and you are SO important to me. maybe when i say that, i'm not making myself clear, but words are the only thing i actually have to make myself understood.

i wish i could be near you, give you a hug, share a lot of things with you on a daily basis. we could do so much together, we could rule the world, we could end capitalism, idk... so many possibilities. unfortunately we can't - at least for now - and all i have are these words to try to make you understand and believe that i really really love you.

yi, you are certainly a gift from the universe, i'm so so grateful for having you in my life and for you to consider me your friend. it's an honor and also i think i don't deserve it sometimes. so even if i take breaks in the future (and i probably will at some point) i promise never leave you behind, we will find a way!

i love you, never forget that. i love you when i'm here, and i love you when i'm away. when i sleep, when i wake up. you are my star <3

#my stargirl <3 #ily yi!#forever and ever

This is the first time I’m in someone’s ask, and let me tell you, i was just FUMINg when i read the first version of backburner ending. Like wtf is WRONGggg with everyone 😭 i nearly yeeted my phone fr but then i saw your deep dive and i got even madder because even though that ending was effed up, you made it make sense why it had to end up that way so now I’m just hating on imaginary characters lol

And i know the second ending is coming up (which you promised will be sunshine and rainbows and i trust you pls don’t break my heart) and ofc i’ve been team mingyu from the beginning so im looking forward to it but also highkey nervous as to how you’ll pull it off since the first one frustratingly just fits the story with how you circled back to the backburner theme and the seungcheol-sunhee oc-mingyu parallels and ahhhh it’s frustratingly flawless (and flawlessly frustrating hahah) so im scared the second won’t feel like canon 😩

I’ve only recently discovered your writings, and just- thank you for writing! Despite my anger at that first ending and all the feels it gave me, i find your ask replies to be too amusing for me to not stay on 😂😂 like you’re relishing in the chaos you’ve created (are you actually gose yoon jeonghan?) and as a fellow scorpio honestly i have no choice but to stan. Look forward to new things you’ll be putting out! 💕

"so now I’m just hating on imaginary characters" lsdkfjlsdf help no but please i was having such a hard time writing that last part bc i was getting annoyed of oc too – but i had to tap into all my red flag days and make her the way she was lol.

"im scared the second won’t feel like canon" ahhhh dw i got a second set of eyes to look through version 2 so that it can make sense. ngl though this one is a tougher write for me bc i had a set path i wanted the plot to take and by part 3 based on everyone's reaction i started to kind of draft this version already..... i just....... damn i made oc into a villain it's so hard to redeem her rn...... LOL

BUT DW NO PAIN FOR MINGYU OMG

AND LASTLY OH MYGOD THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU for both enjoying my stories and the way i just....... choose to reply to people in a very chaotic and stupid way lmfaooooo (this is a safe space guys feel free to bully me and share all sorts of opinions in my inbox i love it all lol)

i have a few more painful shit up my sleeve but will try to sprinkle some fluff in between to keep you guys sane 🤞😔

#spamasks #spamgyu backburner #are you actually gose yoon jeonghan? - im actually a the triplet to the evil jihan duo....#no but srsly ily all u guys make my day lmfao

you asked so prettily, love, how could i say no to such a request? 😘

we both know that soon i’ll be only a short few hours drive/train ride from you, and i know we didn’t make any plans to meet this time around. but yknow i can be pretty spontaneous and sometimes my family just gets to be a bit much and i just need some time from them and i need the company of someone else, and who better than you, sweetheart?

so maybe i’d make my way up to you the second half of next week, when i’m so fed up with my family’s antics that i just can’t resist my need to be with you already, and come surprise you as you’re leaving work

and i’d take you and treat you to your favorite lunch/dinner place and get us bubble tea or some kind of dessert to go (or both), and take you for a walk till we get tired, and then we’d find a movie theater with those big cushy reclining seats, and we’d pick whatever movie you’d been wanting to see, and we’d curl up together in one seat, with you practically on top of me

and i’d be good in the beginning, i know how much you wanted to see that movie, and i’d really try to let you just watch it and instead i’d keep my hands busy with snacking on the popcorn and candy we’d gotten

but you’re sitting so cutely on/with me that it’s a struggle to keep my hands off of you and then you’d shift around one too many times and my hands would have to go to your hips to keep them still, and well

once i get my hands on you, love, i can’t help them wandering, i wouldn’t be able to resist you

so one hand would slip under your shirt, and the other would tease its way under your pants but still over your panties, and just gently rub you till you’re moving around on my lap again, but i’ve caged you in with my arms around you, and you can’t really do much besides squirm and start to whine

but we’re still in the movie theater, babe, and we wouldn’t want to be rude and distract the other movie-goers, so i’d have to take my hand out from under your shirt and instead slide two of my fingers in your mouth as i move aside your panties with my other hand and start playing with your clit

and i’d make sure you kept sucking my fingers while i teased you and brought you to the edge over and over, till finally i made you cum during a big climatic scene in the movie

and as you came down from that high, i’d gently hold you close to me, and kiss you all over your face, and pet your hair, and i’d tell you what a good girl you were for me, and make sure you drank some of the water we had left over

and we’d stay like that till the movie finished and the credits rolled, till we were practically kicked out at the end, and instead of you getting up yourself, i’d scoop you up in a princess hold and carry you out of the theater like that, only putting you down when we got outside into the sunshine

(i have lots more thoughts, love, but i think they’ll have to be saved for another time bc this ask is already so long, oops?)

-you know who i am but 🥰🥰🥰

My baby, ahh! ❤️ Thank you so much for sending me something.

You’re such a city girl, I love it. I don’t mind putting us in a convenient enough location, but they’re definitely harder to find than you’d think (unfortunately). I’d love to spend a day out with you, angel. You’re so sweet those are definitely all things I would really enjoy ☺️ Especially if you shared a bubble tea with me while we walk around. And the movie theater?

Everywhere here is lowkey pretty dead all the time so only a few people show up to each movie showing unless it’s brand new. I’d let you decide what movie you want to see after I let you know that. I’d make sure I wear something that’s either easy as far as pants go or very easy to tease me in like a skirt or a dress. It’s a bit chilly so I might have to opt for tights under that. But I can make sure I’m wearing a special pair of tights that would make things a lot easier for you 🥺👉👈

Babyyyy, I’d be a good girl and make sure I prepared. I would actually need to go by one of the sex shops I know are around. (I’d really want you to go with me someday. Maybe when we’re in the city…) I’d really love to pick up a new toy for us. So so tempted to get a strap-on you’d need to tell me if you want to try that or not. I’m okay with waiting, you know I can be patient. Either way I know I’m getting us something that works for 2 girls with a breeding kink. Which means I also have to get us cum lube to play with. I got so lucky finding such a pretty, tall girl with the same kind of brain as me.

I’ll make sure to get us a room somewhere because I will spend all night getting fucked by you and fucking you and still not feel like it’s enough. The first thing I want to do as soon as we’re alone is eat you out. And since it’s partially a lesson you can take notes. I love knowing you’d stoke my cheek even while I’m teasing you, licking and sucking on your clit. Tell me I’m your cute little kitten when I make a soft needy noise while I’m doing my best to please you. When I look up at you for approval will you tell me what a good girl I am? I’m going to love finding out what you like and if you’re like me then hopefully you’ll love it when I tongue fuck you 😵‍💫

I can wear my cute little bell collar for you, since I’m your pretty pet, right? I keep wondering if I’d make you cum then or if you’d pull me back either by my hair or my collar before I can. Imagining you pulling me away just so you can eagerly repeat what you learned on me is too much ahhh I also have so many ideas, babe. I can’t get carried away but I’m sure you can imagine some of what we might do with the rest of the night 😘❤️

And of course, I’m adding you to my anons even though we’re both aware you can do all of this to me in private 🤭

#and in person someday aaaa #asks #🥰#my girl!

bollywoodtan sonyeondan: bts in 2010s rom-coms

Listen, I’ve had a filmy weekend, okay? First my friends got engaged and threw a party, then my other friend and I had a sleepover and binged The Romantics, and on top of that, I think I’ve watched five other different Bollywood movies this weekend and I need to channel this energy somehow so please enjoy my explanations for casting BTS in these 2010s Bollywood rom-coms which I hope one day me (or anyone else) can turn into fics thank you very much

Ok, let’s begin:

Kim Namjoon - Baar Baar Dekho

Listen, I know this movie was critically panned? Do I fucking care? No. I love this movie, I would go to war for this movie because Sidharth and Katrina induce massive amounts of bi panic within me. I love Jai and Diya, I love their love, I love the time travel, I love Kala Chashma. So that’s why I’m choosing none other than Bangtan’s resident intellectual Mr. Namjoon to fill those shoes, okay? Namjoon’s expressed his own profound thoughts about marriage, just like Mr. Jai, and him as a genius mathematician who gets caught in a time loop. Drooling

Kim Seokjin - Hasee Toh Phasee

Again, I would d word for this movie bc it’s just so??!!! My crush on Sidharth Malhotra non-withstanding, this movie is chaotic and beautiful in the best way. It doesn’t try to be flashy or suave, and instead embraces its inner dork. Who does that remind you of, huh? Mr. Kim Seokjin, that’s fuckin who. Nikhil and Meeta just give major OTP vibes, him being a through and through himbo and her being a neurodivergent genius who he can’t help simping over!! Give me Seokjin and OC causing major chaos I beg! And put Zehnaseeb on in the background while you’re at it!

Min Yoongi - Khoobsurat

Am I biased bc I’m Pakistani? Am I biased bc it’s Fawad? Maybe, maybe not! But to quote Lizzie McGuire, this is what dreams are made of!! An off-beat physiotherapist meets a tsundere prince?? And he gradually warms up to her while they get into their own royal shenanigans? You can’t tell me this role wasn’t written for Yoongi, and long haired Yoongi specifically. The grumpy x sunshine trope is super strong with this one, and I love the brightness that Milli brings to the entire family, not just the prince. The Disney movie of everyone’s dreams <3

Jung Hoseok - Mere Brother Ki Dulhan

Listen, this movie doesn’t get enough credit for just being fun the entire way through!! The comedy is top-tier and the characters are just so likeable and wholesome!! And just this big, amazing hare-brained matchmaking effort that is so Bollywood!! And Imran Khan’s Kush being in love with Katrina’s Dimple, who is definitely bisexual (Dhunki, anyone?!). It’s giving King Hobi vibes, not only because he would go out of his way to do anything for someone he loved, but also because Choomantar is definitely siblings with Daydream and I need to see him bust it down to Do Dhaari Talwar thank you for coming to my TED Talk

Park Jimin - Aisha

Let’s all agree that Gal Mitthi Mitthi Bol is a banger, and then let’s all swoon over Jimin in this adaptation which is based on Emma!! I literally can’t decide if I want Jimin in Aisha or Arjun’s role, but it’d be so fun either way!! I kinda like the idea of him trying to set up all his guy friends and them just being such a fun group who all have their own individual love stories sighhhh. And OC being Arjun who’s all no nonsense and the grounding presence in Jimin/Aisha’s life!! Also the style in this movie was inspired by Clueless, and our mans models for Dior so that’s enough for me to want to make it happen

Kim Taehyung - I Hate Luv Storys

Fun fact - I once watched this movie instead of studying for an exam that was happening at the end of the weekend and had so much fun I passed out on my friend’s couch until 3pm the next day!! This is another one of those nostalgic movies that pays homage to all the fun romantic Bollywood tropes!! And all the DDLJ references made me totally think Taehyung! Except he’s not Jay, he’s Simran, and OC will be Jay, and Taehyung has to convince her to believe in romance!! I think that’s a fitting task for the man I consider to be the most romantic member of Bangtan (he’s SRK’s Korean incarnation imo)

Jeon Jungkook - Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania

If there’s one himbo I stan, it’s Humpty Sharma. If there’s another himbo I stan, it’s Jungkook. I literally have a severe emotional attachment to this movie and could probably quote most of the lines to you. What I love about this is how Humpty literally shatters all the stereotypes about toxic masculinity - he cries, he’s vulnerable, he believes in love. It just screams bby boi Jungkook vibes. Also pls him doing the most to get Kavya her wedding lehenga - that’s some of the cutest shit Bollywood has pulled in a while and I’m 10000% here for it (pls bring in Jimin and Tae as Shonty and Poplu too)

Anyways, thanks for listening to me ramble!! If anyone is interested, I’d love to do more of these, like maybe 2000s rom-coms or action movies!! I’m here for any discourse you guys have too, let’s be film nerds together 💜

Can you be awesome and give me some well thought out prongsfoot headcanons? (If you have the time), I want to write a story with then and I need more on their dynamic, than just the basics.

(Friendship and Romantic! 😁)

omg hi yes!! i’ve never gotten an ask like this, i don’t think, and my hcs usually develop during stories so let’s see if i can do it :p

- soulmates in every universe, if not romantic then definitely platonic. they’ll find their way to each other, always.

- james has a crooked nose that sirius loves kissing. he’s very possessive about it, actually

- j might be generally a bit thick bc of the whole spoiled-only-child thing but he’s particularly attuned to sirius’ moods and emotions. i can imagine him writing long ass letters to his parents in the first few years whenever something tripped him up (which was, ykno, everything considering how sheltered he was) to so for help and sirius featured a lot in this (mum, how do i help with nightmares? mum, he doesn’t like treacle tart what do i doooooo, mum he wasn’t allowed to fly as a kid this is a travesty, mum he’s sad a lot and chai doesn’t always help, mum i don’t know how to make him smile etc etc)

- this one’s controversial, i think, but i love thinking of sirius as modelling james’ behaviour. we know he grew up being fed violent hatred + a superiority complex the size of Everest yeah? fully believe his process of unlearning started with james (the first time he used the word mudblood, our boy probably clutched his pearls, scandalised, ‘what are you doing u can’t say that!!’ so sirius started turning to j as a barometer for how to act, sometimes, bc he realised he couldn’t trust his family (and by extension, his own) behaviour. this isn’t instant, mind, but a gradual, time & labor intensive process and even after he grew out of it, i think sirius had this subconscious tendency to look for james’ approval.

- i hate the whole ‘james matured for a girl’ arc so my take on it is that his ‘growth’ came from a combination of ailing, elderly parents + rising war tensions + most importantly, sirius. end of 5th year he got a first hand view into the treatment his best mate received by his family and that horror made him want to be the best he could for sirius. i’ve always seen james as a protector and a caregiver, someone who takes people under his wing & looks after them, and i don’t think it was ever more obvious than around sirius. post 5th year, he gained a focus that he lacked before and would spend a lot of time just picking up on skills that could help him be better. duelling, defence, first aid, knitting, cooking etc etc. anything to feel useful.

- the shift from friendship to romantic would be tricky & probably require outside intervention or a lot of time, i think. they were already so close as friends that it just never occurs to them to take it any further ykno? their hearts & souls are intertwined, they’re super physically affectionate, and they’re already each other’s no. 1. so someone either has to bring it to their attention, they take yeaaaaars to realise ‘huh. this isn’t how i feel towards others’ or they live a wonderfully fulfilling qpp life together.

- i’ve talked about this before but physical!!! affection!!! and not just in terms of like, kisses or hugs but touch. they’re always in contact in some way. it’s comforting, safe. arms around waists, shoulders, hips/chin resting on the other, leg slung across, hand on a back or leg. you get it right? it’s subconscious, it’s natural, and they don’t even realise they’re doing it unless someone points it out

- sunshine and sunshine protector!!!! james was loud and brash and took all the space in a room. he was also sensitive bc he’s not told no often so when it has to be done, u need to do it in a certain way so he doesn’t internalise it as a personal failing and shut down. sirius is the best one to do it bc he can stand up to james w/o being intimidated + realise that the carrot works better than the stick w him. there’s a very real risk of his light fading out. at the same time, this makes sirius very protective of him. it’s why i wrote shovel talk. even in a universe where lily & sirius were friends, i think he’ll have a Talk with her to confirm her intentions. sirius is not willing to take chances with his james.

- pet names! james called sirius darling and my love and honey and sweetheart because he’s an old soul in a young body. sirius called james love (and sometime babe/baby). their go to for each other was ‘si’ and ‘jamie’ respectively, which was a term of affection on its own bc only they used it, no one else.

- james has *always* been attracted to sirius; he just didn’t realise it bc he thought this was how everyone felt towards sirius. ‘oh yeah he’s so ethereally beautiful, it’s just like, a fact of life and everyone knows it’ and thinks the random boners are normal until one day he realised that, no, that’s not actually the norm & he’s just a simp who thinks everything sirius does is perfect (think chin in hand, heart eyes, sighing)

ok i’m gonna cut myself off here bc this is already criminally long but i think it’s pretty clear i can go on for days lol. i tried to include both but i’m not great w romantic so i hope that came thru 🙈🙈

pls tag me in ur story when u write it (even if the hcs don’t help lol u can still use them in a process of elimination to find ur niche)!! i’d love, love , love to read it + always here if u wanna brainstorm 💜

#james potter #sirius black #prongsfoot #gosh this became so long. i was worried i wouldn’t have anything to say and then i couldn’t stop 💀 had to cut myself off after a point #friend this is the first piece of fandom content i’ve written in over a month so thank u sm for the ask #still don’t know if it’s any good but hey. it’s something. i’ll take it.#i’ve talked about james as sirius’ moral compass before but i don’t mean it in a ‘he couldn’t think for himself’ way #rather that when he doubted himself—which was a lot—he’d always go to j for confirmation #(it’s a bit of projection for me bc i do something similar w a friend of mine too)#and whenever he worried he was being a little too much like his family—james would set him straight #just wanted to clear that up bc i’ve seen someone vaguing me ab this and i don’t want them to get the wrong idea again lol #also re james: i can relate to being loud & Too Much. someone once told me i talked too much and i stayed quiet the entire day #not one word escaped my mouth. made people v uncomfortable #i’ve done the rubber band against my wrist thing too & i can see james doing something like that #ig regardless of how one writes j&s the one think i’ll look for is this implicit understanding and bond?#like they’re always each other’s no. 1 and it’s absolutely unconditional. like even when they’re fighting they’ll take care of each other #that’s the relationship i look for (which i don’t often get lolcrie)#but yeah. that’s me. doesn’t have to be everyone 💀#i didn’t mention it here bc i’ve talked ab it so much but also fully think j was the only one who could fluster sirius #like the boy had a great poker face; probably also a rbf; prided himself ron being a master of his emotions #then along comes one jfp with his doe eyes and stupid fluffy hair and bright big smile #sirius has never blushed so much in his *life*#also think people who don’t know them (aka non hogwarts folx) would probably get the wrong-est impression of sirius if they see him around j #bc he’s everything that he’s *not* around him #it’s actually really funny to imagine lol #mhm ok ye gonna shut up now. thanks for the lovely ask anon & sorry for all the word vomit!#pen’s asks #pen’s notes
