#u can really tell i don't like the fandom era lol

[theuncommoncorner]

@doomwhore ASK: Cuddling with orochimaru headcanons?

Are they the big or small spoon? Do they talk while they cuddle or are they silent? Do they stroke your face or does he rub his feet together? Etc.

I usually prefer boruto Era orochimaru but it's ok if you prefer naruto orochimaru!

Please and thank u!

Note: #1 Sorry! It took me FOREVER to get my butt back into the Naruto fandom where I’m actively thinking about it, reading essays or fics about the Naruto-verse, and anything else under the sun. #2 I haven’t read Boruto yet, so this will be Naruto Orochimaru but I will try to keep it sorta vague to be read either way. Does that make sense? I don’t know his personality in Boruto so I’m going purely on looks and he looks 🎇soft🎇-ish to me

Big and little spoon but typically big spoon. He likes to have an arm, hand, or leg on his partner when they cuddle or go to sleep. He kinda curls around them like a snake LOL. His legs on top of their legs or intertwined at the same time. His head laying above theirs on the pillow and his hair freaking  EVERYWHERE. Long hair = you’re going to eat it at some point. My fiance has looong hair and speaking from personal experience it’s bound to happen. OR it acts as a mini blanket because your ears are constantly cold af!!

Speaking of hair! Let him stroke your head if you’re comfortable with it. It’s a huge sign that you trust him and he will eventually allow the gesture to be returned.

100% a quiet talker. I can see him being just a liiittle chatty talking about his day or listening to his partner talk about their day. He enjoys listening to their voice. It makes him calm down after a trying day or after handling unruly subordinates.

I don’t know why but I can see him as a cheek pincher? Not in a malicious way, he just likes to pinch their cheek or boop their nose as confirmation that they are there. They chose to be with him. They chose to cuddle with him in bed/on a couch. They chose to show him, a questionable individual, as much affection and love as they can every single day. Sometimes it totally baffles him, while other times it makes him feel truly content with his life.

Probably doesn't rub his feet together? But will move his legs back and forth like a cricket. ESPECIALLY if either of them shave their legs for whatever reason.

No one on this site can convince me Orochimaru wouldn't go full Cricket Mode if he or his partner shaved their legs.

Oh wait oh man oh boy his hands are aaaalllll over them when cuddling. Like I said earlier it helps him really grasp that they are there. But alsoooo affectionate touching wasn't/isn't common for him and he eats that shit UP. Those little squeezes some people do while cuddling? Does it. Full body shift as if he can press his body closer to them? Does it. It gets really amped up if they have been together for some years and they either a) get married or b) state they don't ever want to leave and express a lifelong commitment to him. Loyalty given to him is his love language, and you can't tell me otherwise.

[willow-lark]

one thing about me is that i will always and forever be a stoncy girly. i occasionally rb posts about them but i'm mainyl involved in the byler fandom atm so i don't talk ab them as much as i want to. anyways

stoncy is really interesting to think about particularly considering where things are in canon for the three of them right now. so, firstly, my thoughts on that:

i am 100% rooting for jancy endgame in-show. i'm not a fan of love triangles (hence why i started shipping stoncy in the first place, they all have chemistry n i think they should all kiss each other at the exact same time) but up until s4 there was no reason to think that jancy wouldn't be endgame, and honestly i'm upset that the writers brought stancy back in, considering that steve's s3 arc was all about him learning he doesn't need romantic love to fulfill his life, and what he and nancy each want in life simply are not compatible. jancy r iconic. jancy r goals. jancy had a whole speech in s4 talking about all the things they love about the other. although they've hit a slight rough patch due to jonathan's conflicting desires in supporting her goals while also being there for his family which has historically needed a lot of his support, they just need to get on the same page about this. they WILL prevail i KNOW this i TRUST

okay, lark, you say. if ur so obsessed with jancy endgame then why stoncy at all? AND I WILL TELL YOU WHY.

it all comes down to stonathan. also shoutout to @messrsbyler for championing the stonathan agenda lately. we should all attempt to live up to your example. SO TRUE.

so. post-s1 era in-show. or, honestly, u can rework this and make it fit at any point in the timeline. but anyways: nancy's with steve, they r trying and somewhat struggling to make it work (though they did last an entire YEAR so kudos for that ig). nancy VERY obviously has feelings for jonathan, who hangs out with her sometimes but is generally avoiding both of them. and honestly? steve thinks jonathan's pretty cool too. and, like, he spent a while treating jonathan like shit so he should probably try and make it up to him. right??? AND THEN THEY KISS.

no, but actually: steve's the type not to even realize that he's actually in love with jonathan. he's like, well, nancy loves him, and i love nancy, so... (that's the transitive property, right? i don't remember anything from 5th grade math class.) he doesn't even realize it's gay of him to feel that way. (NOTE: stoncy r bi4bi4bi and you WILL NOT be changing my mind.) if u extend the timeline to post-s3, robin might be able to help him w this LOL, i've read a really good fic or two where that's the case

on the other side, i feel like jonathan would have an easier time accepting his feeling, especially now that steve is making an effort to make friends with him. not to digress about the byers brothers but i'm gonna. when it comes to accepting his bisexuality jonathan doesn't have nearly as much internalized homophobia to deal with as will does regarding being gay. will has really internalized all of the things lonnie/the bullies have said about him, whereas jonathan is openly defiant of them. but in true byers fashion, he's not gonna make a move about it.

honestly i'm inclined to say that nancy, the girlboss that she is, (perhaps along with robin, again, if the timeline goes later) is the one to witness stonathan making goo-goo eyes at each other and she's like. you know what. this Might Actually solve 90% of my problems. so SHE'S the one who prompts them into it. but to be completely honest all three of them are so completely dramatic about everything so i could even see it all coming down to robin and maybe argyle to force them to get their shit together 😆

this is honestly just one way that it could go down, i've read a lot of different iterations and i love them all.

How about 1, 15, 23 for the air your grievances ask game?

Hi! :-)

What's your biggest __[insert fandom]__ pet peeve(s)?

Oof, okay... I think my biggest pet peeve with the M/C/U fandom is how greedy certain pockets of it can be. When 80-95% of either the canon or fandom is catered to you, I don't get complaining so hard about the slim percentage that doesn't. It's infuriating. But I've talked about that a bunch in the past.

Something I don't think ever talked about is how this fandom drives me up the damn wall as a music nerd. The biggest example is folks describing the Guardians soundtracks/"Qu*ll's taste in music" as "80s music." No. No, they're not. They're mainly the 70s. I know, I counted, after the fandom nearly gaslit me into doubting my own knowledge. In fact, out of the trilogy, IW, the Gro/ot shorts, and the Holiday special, only Vol 3 and the Holiday special contain any 80s songs. (And for record, this isn't me shitting on the 80s or anything. I'm an 80s baby and love tons of music from that era. This is just me being an insufferable know-it-all, lol.)

Another one is constantly framing Sam's recommendation of Tro/uble Man as some kind of come on. Like, first of all, that album is mainly a score and the few lyrics that do exist on it are not sexy. Second of all, oh my God, there's more to Marvin than just sex jams, holy shit. It's very obvious that some are only familiar with stuff like "Let's get it on" and "Sexual Healing" and that's it and... I can't help it, that makes me so sad.

15. Name an aspect of __[insert character]__ that you think gets frequently overlooked in fanfiction characterizations/deserves more attention/exploration

I think fandom's really dropped the ball with post-EG Steve. We could've had sprawling epics with Steve creating timeline after timeline where he had full lives with every Av*nger and Guardian and whoever else and having D*ctor Who style adventures across space and time. But, noooope. Nada.

I'll also never understand how I've only ever seen one fic where Professor H*lk and Steve raise Baby!Scott. That's comedy gold, right there. And how the hell did Sh*-H*lk not spawn a ton of St*ve/Jen? Not to mention all the cool concepts WI? has given the fandom on a silver platter only for them to be completely ignored.

23. Share an unpopular opinion you have RE: __[insert fandom]__

At the risk of being skinned alive, I know that even people who don't ship St*cky romantically will say that they still love them as friends instead. And I... don't. I can't get into that dynamic, even platonically. Most of their relationship is told rather than shown and what little we are shown doesn't endear it to me at all. Fandom can scream "till the end of the line" until it's blue in the face, but that doesn't make up for its problems in the slightest. (And frankly, I think that was the main purpose of the line to begin with, but that's a whole other rant.) I mean, B*cky spends most of T/F/A coming off (to me) like a condescending prick towards Steve and then spends the rest of Steve's time in the films deliberately staying as far away as humanly possible. It feels very one-sided to me, overall. And why should I revere that period, but especially so when dynamics like the ones Steve has with S*m, N*t, and P*ggy exist? Dynamics where the love and respect is quite clearly mutual and they actively want to be in his life? There's just no contest as far as I'm concerned.

Now, in fairness, theirs isn't the only dynamic in the films that's way more tell than show nor is it the worst offender in terms of the discrepancy between what's told and what's shown, but again, those are other rants.

Sorry about this getting kinda long. I'd been holding that first rant in for a loooong time, lol, so thank you for sending this in and giving me the chance to finally get that off my chest. XD

Air Your Grievances Ask Game

#bulkyphrase #replies #fandom woes #fandom wank #long post cw

[sizzlingpatrolfox]

Okay just ignore if you don't want to like as a new fan of jimin, I just want to someone here for a long time than me to tell what they perceive him as from what he's show like his personality, ethics, strength and weaknesses like as a whole how he's as a person and what you admire and dislike about him and others can also tell about it, because I like these kind of fandom discussions..

It's just that I've never been someone who randomly starts mindlessly praising or talking about Jimin, or anyone really. I have to have a context, otherwise it just doesn't come to me.

I've written pleeeenty about Jimin, tho. I'm just going to link the posts. Some posts might have mentions of other members or Jimin's relationship with them, because I think it's also relevant to who Jimin is.

And this thing he said in the BTS book that was recently released:

JIMIN: I think the most ideal kind of person is an honest person. In the past I tended to sweat the small stuff, and I would often hesitate in speaking out even when I had something to say. I wanted people to be smiling and have them near me, which is why I would sometimes resort to exaggeration. I'd be acting like someone else, in other words. Then, from 2019, I would stay silent when I wanted to be silent, and tried speaking out against things when I didn't like them. And that's when I began to see it clearly. It's not that I didn't want to be alone, I just didn't want to be left behind.

In a post about the memories 2021 DVD, I also said:

I was reminded once more that Jimin has such a great personality. He's so bubbly and bright, never a dull moment with him. He just loves life and he comes across as someone who's 100% present in whatever he's doing, whatever he's saying and whoever he's interacting with; just very involved in whatever's going on around him. It must be so pleasant to have him around.

[anxiety-banana]

20 questions for fic writers

y'all i'm so happy i haven't done one of these in forever :')

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

93, but that doesn't count my 49 anon works lol

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

252,902, and i'm still disappointed by that number, because that means i could have written multiple novels by now lol

3. What fandoms do you write for?

oof uh lets start the list: star wars and marvel (and like three of its subcategories lol) are the current ones, but including past ones: white collar, psych, warehouse 13, almost paradise, and leverage!

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

so apparently most of my best fics are anon,,, i guess stick around for the official release of those?? but yeah the first three are anon

when it matters (white collar)

inevitability is a stupid, stupid, thing (penny parker fic!)

if you're so smart tell me why are you still so afraid (this is my one and only suits fic, i also hate it, but feel free to check it out lol there's not enough content in the fandom to keep it anon)

and home isn't quite the same, but it's far from unachievable

big brothers make it okay

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

uh YEAH unless you're writing in a language google translate doesn't understand or you made me so mad i'm avoiding giving my phone a smackdown, i'm replying to your comment

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

browski my fics are either fix its or "hey you know what would be fun? killing plo koon" so uh i did some digging and i think it might be call me what i am, call me a monster. that one was,,, a lot lol i have no idea where my headspace was when i wrote that. a lot of my angsty fics end somewhat hopeful but this one legit is angst all the way through

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

ooh!! lose ourselves in the moment is one of the fluffiest endings i can think of. i write quite a bit of fluff, but my main fandom also occurs during a war so it's a delicate balance lol

8. Do you get hate on fics?

kind of?? i've never had someone comment "u suck" on a fic, but i've had a LOT of passive aggressive stuff telling me i'm writing a character wrong, or that I write a fact wrong (i usually get these when i actually wrote something into a fictional universe with fictional, non canonical facts lol so i do get a little pleasure responding to those kind)

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

lol nope. i have an appreciation for certain kinds of smut in writing, when they're tasteful, but even then i typically don't read far into it before wimping out

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

i haven't, but i've written references to them into fics for people to find haha

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

yes, but basically my entire wattpad fic era was stolen on one of those weird bootleg fic websites?? honestly it was all crap they can have it

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

no, but i'm hoping to translate all my fics into legible english prose one of these days. when will this clown figure out how to write is my question

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

i had one (1) fic in the works between @ashgryff and @ljbrary once like two years ago that never even got close to completion, i'm not even sure what happened to that thing?? but i remember panicking because i was terrified of messing up something and we were all kind of new friends at the time so it was mortifying ahaha

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

team "i crave familial affection" i literally took to scrolling my bookmarks to find one i love :') i might have to go with kanan/hera?? i just never get tired of them they're some of my favorite characters as it is

15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

mmm so I Know, I'm Sorry (But You Can Do Better) is technically an ongoing fic, it's just a one-shot sort of thing that I'd really like to either give a full plot or just continue indefinitely but at this rate i have no idea if it'll even get another chapter

16. What are your writing strengths?

when i get into it, i pride myself on inner emotional prose, also people have complimented me on my dialogue before so i guess dialogue

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

plotting, pieces longer than 10k, sticking through rough patches to finish a draft

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

personally i only trust myself to do it in a tiny bit of french, but if it's done correctly i think it can be really cool

19. First fandom you wrote for?

sooo technically that would not be star wars even tho that's the first of mine on the internet, it would be Marvel, in which I wrote three paragraphs of a random movie ten years in the future after Endgame came out. it sucked, but look what it started i guess??

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

we've already established that i have a total 142 fics on ao3 so this is a struggle uhhh maybe Eternal, i was really proud of it when i posted it, also you didn't put those bones in the ground, because it took me a really long time to post after i finished it. i find most of the fics i hesitate to post are my favorites, because i don't want them to be harshly judged haha

that was long, thank you for sticking around!!

no pressure tags! answer any or none of these questions haha

lilly and ash who i already tagged and feel bad for double tagging, @ahsokryze @dashedwithromance @armchairaloof @twentyfunnybunnies and all who wish to join! i see this a lot but honestly if you want to join this, please take this as your permission! i will literally tag you if you ask me to so you feel better about participating

[wyverncult]

copying u. 001 matel gear 002 otasune or whoever else u want to talk about. 003 SNAKE !! or strangelove <3

this took so long to do

METAL GEAR

001 | Send me a fandom and I will tell you my:

Favorite character: basic as hell i love SOLID SNAKE though, i love his writing soo much. i also like miller strangelove & otacon. shoutout to amanda for being the only helpful bitch in all of PW though & mantis for looking like that

Least Favorite character: ROSEMARY. sorry. their relationship in 2 made me feel insane

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): IM BASIC... otasune, bbkaz, strangeboss. not favs but i also like fox/gustava & maybe bosselot

Character I find most attractive: genuinely this is hard. probably big mama she's cool as fuck

Character I would marry: raiden should ditch rose and get with a man like me. i don't want to marry him i just think i could treat him better

Character I would be best friends with: let's be real it's probably otacon

A random thought: ^ spent 3 minutes wondering about otacon's love for anime and whether he really liked it or if it was a thing fandom took and ran. i think he does like anime i just also think the whole terrorism thing took over his life for a minute

An unpopular opinion: i dont think rising is bad but i dont think its a masterpiece either. i think its moral is just currently relevant rn 👍

My Canon OTP: strangeboss OF COURSE

My Non-canon OTP: otasune & bbkaz ofc. bbkaz is dubiously canon though so... Schrödinger's canoninity

Most Badass Character: PROBABLY EVA she's just off the shits 99% of the time honestly

Most Epic Villain: i'll be honest even though she didn't get much screentime the boss is the most iconic & her battle was difficult. also made me cry

Pairing I am not a fan of: ......snox, so sorry LOL

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): MGS4 NAOMI. FUCK.

Favourite Friendship: otasune 100% no matter whether what they intended was platonic or romantic i love their partnership the most

Character I most identify with: i mean ill use miller as my icon but i do not identify with or agree with him at all LMAO

Character I wish I could be: UM. NONE. HELP. i WOULD dress like mantis in a heartbeat though.

OTASUNE

002 | Send me a ship and I will tell you:

When I started shipping them: i'd heard about them beforehand but i didnt know who they were until i started playing the game. probably when i got to the Do you think love can bloom? line i was like. was that necessary LOL and thats about when it cemented

My thoughts: GRRR they compliment the other so well. also they seem like pretty bad parents in 4 but i wanted to see more of that and whether it was just everything coming to a crux

What makes me happy about them: i just really appreciate the amount of trust one puts into the other & keeping the one's life in the other's hands. sooo good.

What makes me sad about them: all of mgs4 GRR. i love it it just makes me sad

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: wish there was more than just fluff or philanthropy-era fics

Things I look for in fanfic: post mgs2-era & longer or more seriously-toned fics :]

My wishlist: i wish we got to see between mgs2 and mgs4! that & i wish we got to see more of sunny, maybe in side content, or see otacon post-mgs4 (mgs4 novel is written in past tense but it doesn't exactly count). also someone drew concepts of a co-op game with otacon and snake and i need that in my life

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Mmmmmmm. no clue. i ship snake with weasel sort-of jokingly LMAO

My happily ever after for them: CAMPBELL CAN LEAVE THEM TF ALONE SO THEY CAN STOP BEING TERRORISTS 👍

SOLID SNAKE

003 | Give me a character & I will tell you:

How I feel about this character: HES MY BEST FRIEND HES AWFUL AND I LOVE HIM

Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character: see above ^ otacon & to an extent weasel

My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character: OOH. i love his seniorship to raiden & of course i have to mention sunny. thinking about his relationship (or lack of) to big boss and liquid also makes me feel insane though

My unpopular opinion about this character: none off the top of my head!

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: normally id want them to put the main protagonist to rest but I'll be honest i DO want another game with snake. that or books about things we havent seen happen. a book written from his pov would be really interesting

Favorite friendship for this character: YOU ALREADY KNOW IT !!! otacon is his lover and best friend

My crossover ship: i don't do crossovers, can't think of any!

STRANGELOVE

003 | Give me a character & I will tell you:

How I feel about this character: SHE MAKES ME REALLY SAD id really like to see more of her. ellie you and me lets listen to her tapes sometime i haven't finished them

Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character: need you ask

My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character: we didn't really see much of it but her relationship with big boss is extremely interesting just by association of the woman they both lost

My unpopular opinion about this character: i can't believe this is an unpopular opinion.. she's a lesbian 🤯 Also i think that her having a child w huey is fucked up on her part but also extremely funny. sorry you got involved strangelove

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: UGH. we should've seen more of her. shes such a background character it is genuinely sad

Favorite friendship for this character: ... this girl has friends? so sorry..

#TY! i'll answer the other one in.... a minute #ask #soukeyed #ask game #dmitri's life

[baekhvuns]

Don't know many spicy details, but the stories are usually just funny or boring, lol. I'm also taking them with a grain of salt. I personally know some people who are more or less famous right now, British ones mostly so 👀

Hahahaha yes, it screams THAT fandom and misogyny too 🤡

Yeah, like we said you can't judge someone's preferences from their looks or behaviour (most of the time), but it's safe to say majority doesn't have daddy kink, I don't think it's as popular as fic writers want us to believe jsysusuisshsha also SHOCKINGLY some people have no kinks and it's fine. I see a lot of headcanons and all the kinks are rather strong like degrading, spitting, daddy, pee, breeding, choking, size kink LADS PLS RELAXXXXXX

I can get behind professor fics, but when the other person is a professor or something like that as well. Or when they're at least at uni. You don't have to be that young to study, I read a fic when one character was around 27 and came back to studying. But most people choose that questionable and boring route... we can settle on tutor Hwa though 🤗

A lot of BADDDDD BEHAVIOUR exhibited in that MV I'll not talk about it further because 😵 but I'll be thinking about those bandages and tongues and thrusts. While we're at it, some people are fucking gross, they're like LET US SEE THE ABS WTF. Don't fans know how difficult it was for Hwa during Inception era? And they wanna force Hongjoong to show his too, I see too many tweets like this "Hongjoong you're next!' or "omgggg we were robbed of Hwa's abs" like??? Some members don't even have abs atm, and let's be honest they usually show their stomach when there's a six pack going on, because that's what sells

Look, DV promo pictures were giving sirens or mermans and I need to see it okay. Siren Hwa luring Y/N with his voice?! I know sirens are not exactly the nicest creatures - I mean I never met one, but ajhdjsjsnudjsjs the stories are usually of them killing people, maybe they deserved it though. Regardless SOMEONE PLS SIREN/MERMAN HWA 🙏🤲

The universe photos also made me think about Gods AU AGAIN, Seonghwa as a GOD 👁👄👁 someone said Seonghwa as the son of Hades and Persephone once and I haven't moved on... or Seonghwa AS Hades... OR Persephone 😌

And bestie are you seeing SVT? Someone listened and is actually going to Canada! Really pissed off they said nothing about Europe :"))))) - DV 💖

hihi !!

Don't know many spicy details, but the stories are usually just funny or boring, lol. I'm also taking them with a grain of salt. I personally know some people who are more or less famous right now, British ones mostly so 👀

AHHHHH thwkfhek if there’s any tea <3 we are available <3 to listen <3 OH some others 👁👄👁 ik someone who once made out with post malone,,, took it with a grain of salt bc 😭🤚🏼 BRITISH ONES HELLAUR WHO 👁

Hahahaha yes, it screams THAT fandom and misogyny too 🤡

tHE WAY UTS ALWAYS THAT FANDOM TOO 😭😭😭 so interested to see how they react with the enlistment <3

Yeah, like we said you can't judge someone's preferences from their looks or behaviour (most of the time), but it's safe to say majority doesn't have daddy kink, I don't think it's as popular as fic writers want us to believe jsysusuisshsha also SHOCKINGLY some people have no kinks and it's fine. I see a lot of headcanons and all the kinks are rather strong like degrading, spitting, daddy, pee, breeding, choking, size kink LADS PLS RELAXXXXXX

NAURR FRRR THE HEADCANONS RANGE FROM WILD TO WILDERR !!!! i see the “rough sex, choking, deep throating” and im logging out BDMWBDFBEM nO fr some ppl are just here to vibe and it’s so fun when u tell them what types of kink there are,,, YEAAAH MAJORITY WONT HAVE THE DADDY KINK,,, like do they,, are they going to say daddy in korean ???? appa??? NAUURRRRRRR 🔫🔫

I can get behind professor fics, but when the other person is a professor or something like that as well. Or when they're at least at uni. You don't have to be that young to study, I read a fic when one character was around 27 and came back to studying. But most people choose that questionable and boring route... we can settle on tutor Hwa though 🤗

NO BC THATS SO TRUE MOST CHOOSE RHE QUESTIONABLE ROUTE ive always (in my drafts) chosen where the teacher in question is like a teacher’s assistant and takes over the class and isn’t that old (bc assistants r usually younger right) so the level of age is good and nOT THE 35 YO TEACHER AND A 23 STUDENT,,,, tutor hwa ☺️☺️ that one i can get behind too

A lot of BADDDDD BEHAVIOUR exhibited in that MV I'll not talk about it further because 😵 but I'll be thinking about those bandages and tongues and thrusts.

YEAH YEAH. THE WHITE SWEATS DID NOT BFWMBDKWBFKW WHEN THEY DID THE CHORUS IN THE SWEATS PASSED OUT 😭😭😭 i had to sHEILD MY EYES “wOAHHH! HELPO?? KQ??”

While we're at it, some people are fucking gross, they're like LET US SEE THE ABS WTF. Don't fans know how difficult it was for Hwa during Inception era? And they wanna force Hongjoong to show his too, I see too many tweets like this "Hongjoong you're next!' or "omgggg we were robbed of Hwa's abs" like??? Some members don't even have abs atm, and let's be honest they usually show their stomach when there's a six pack going on, because that's what sells

DUDE THAT FHHDBSJ PISSES ME OFF SO MUCH like why do u wanna see their skin so bad? why u want to see their abs 😭😭 imagine if the roles were reversed how troubling that would be OR if u were in the position of the idol asked to do that by ur fans how uncomfortable that would be ????

no bc u could see it in his cheekies how much it affected him, the abs weren’t important 😭😭 his cheekies were

Anyway look at this sexyman boxer to lil cute scientist real quick. I'll take both, thanxx https://twitter.com/sanhwafile/status/1526593361569775617?t=pR64RnZYna82TMEVdXJPXg&s=19

HES SO im gonna eat him, u will never know which one but i will eat him 🔫

Look, DV promo pictures were giving sirens or mermans and I need to see it okay. Siren Hwa luring Y/N with his voice?! I know sirens are not exactly the nicest creatures - I mean I never met one, but ajhdjsjsnudjsjs the stories are usually of them killing people, maybe they deserved it though.

HEAR ME OUT I HAVE A SIREN READER X RESEARCHER HWA,,, and atlantis <3 BRAKDHWK SEONGHWA PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN AU RN RN !!!!!

The universe photos also made me think about Gods AU AGAIN, Seonghwa as a GOD 👁👄👁 someone said Seonghwa as the son of Hades and Persephone once and I haven't moved on... or Seonghwa AS Hades... OR Persephone 😌

GET OUT NOT THEIR SON, DONT PLANT THIS IN MY BRAIN DV ANON I WILL COMBUST QUITE ALOT FBWMFBWK

[windsofregretandmistrust]

I read the ninth chapter and I OBVIOUSLY have some thots to share:

"He thought of things that he would perceive as a turn-off. Old people, Mattia Binotto, even Guenther, for fuck’s sake."- HEAFGZSKYDUV HAHAHAH STOP IM DYING and it didn't work as well💀 princess's powers are unmatched😌💅

"The Brit licked the Spaniard’s lips and, without wanting to, realised that the taste of Mick’s lips was much nicer."-Nothing to see here, just ✨teammate tings✨ honestly I cant blame him

"Callum fell in love with avoiding problems, and that was the problem. Even more so, when you don’t precisely know what the root of your problems is. Or, at least that’s what you tell yourself."- Callum is me, I'm Callum... 🤧

I HAVE to ask because of typical twitter callum's response (which was so good honestly): what do you think mick smells like?(at least in the fic I don't want to sound like a creep lol)

Your descriptions of the landscapes and Barcelona in general were just so beautifully written I'm in awe

WHEN CALLUM PUT THEIR PIC IN HIS PHONE CASE I DIED PLSS( needless to say I 100% believe this to be an actual thing between them irl)

I also need to acknowledge the fact that you included some schulott shoulder touching moments🙈 IT IS THEIR LOVE LANGUAGE so when I read it I was like: yeah that has definitely happened irl too👀

and although I am a sucker for intimacy and all that I appreciated the fact that you kept it realistic and made them be awkward about it rather than turning it to smut💕 (let us burn slowly with a few intimacy crumbs until the real deal queen, it's more enjoyable like that🤧)

and LASTLY the metaphor at the end-- I SWEAR YOUR MIND IS BRILLIANT you are 100% a natural at writing and I want you to know that 💖💖

This was a super long ask and I'm so sorry! But Im really stressed lately and these fanfics are really helping me escape a bit, I'm off to study now, thank you again for this beautiful chapter and i can't wait for more! Love you soulmate🥰

HI bestie! thank u so much for reading!! 

• YESS princess’ power is indeed unmatched, unparalleled, unrivaled and all that 😍 callum is so DOWN BAD for mick, trust me. i can’t wait to write the parts of when he will finally express it (because he will ;) yeah this is a spoiler, sorry lol)

• AHAHAH ALL CALLUM CAN THINK OF IS MICK and i wanted to make tht clear, even with a hot (milf) person all over him, mick just occupies and lives in his head rent free. in a way, it becomes overbearing for callum, because he didn’t anticipate himself to be this down bad at all 😳

• ME TOO i relate to my fic’s callum as well, big time. fun fact, the first sentence of that quote, “Callum fell in love with avoiding problems. And that was the problem.” was actually stolen from this song in my schulott playlist (47 + 53) titled “come on mess me up” by cub sport, and omg bestie, i swear that song is one of the best, if not the best (mr perfectly fine by taylor swift being the exception), schulott anthem, EVER, period. 

• MM WELLL in my fic, i imagine mick smelling like strawberries. at least, most of the time. to be honest, i can’t really give you a specific answer bff buttt, think of comfort, like the season fall, LMAO. he smells like comfort, and like someone who just got out of the shower (except not only does he smell like this post-shower, but all the time). 

• THANK U UR SO SWEET

• RIGHTT i can sooo see it happening irl as well LMAO like smth thatd happen during their prema teammates era or smth HAHAH. polaroid taking, it’s always such a cute headcanon (i’m considering make this a frequent thing in this fic, maybe polaroids could be their thing AHHH)

• YES YES YES omg, im a sucker for like small physical contact like that that may seem meaningless to many ahaha. and shoulder touching is DEF their “love language”. that’s it, you worded it perfectly. it IS their love language omg omg omg (cue my mind playing all the schulott gifs of them making contact)

• bestie, i’m a sucker for intimacy too and affectionate moments in fics but thank u sm for understanding and appreciating the slow burn approach! 

• THANK U THANK U THANK U ur the sweetest PLS, MWAH 

I’m so so happy to hear that these fics are helping you!! reading these fics and engaging in fandoms, like our schulott one, comfort me as well so i understand you big time lmaoo. good luck on your studies!! dont forget to take care of yourself, love you so much more soulmate ❤️ have a good day :)

#schulott #your eyes are like the ocean and all i want to do is drown

[junk-culture]

hi there! I just finished reading your bosselot fics and loved them! I wanted to ask if you would maybe share some personal headcanons? The way you write those two is awesome. Any tips on characterization? Sorry if this is too much to ask, you don't have to answer all of it! Good work anyway!

Hi!!! Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed them!! I don't know if I have much advice on characterisation but I can try to share a few headcanons and general waffle abt how I write them!

(also, just 2 let u know if u wanna send any more asks, I don't actually use this blog for fandom stuff! @lucky-draws is where i post my fics and art, so I prefer to receive asks related to my fics there! it's no worries to answer here for now of course but just for future reference! ✌️)

I'll answer under the cut in case it gets long:

I'm actually sort of struggling to pin down what kind of specific headcanons I should mention, I'm not sure how exactly to articulate my thoughts on these two, I've never written down a list of headcanons abt them lol but I'll try to give a few things:

- one kind of trivial headcanon i have that i usually use in my fics is bb calling ocelot 'major' as a nickname, i just sort of imagine that it's an ironic kind of nickname to them rather than a title, because they both know ocelot only got the rank of major at the ripe age of 20 because of his connection to the boss and the philosophers, so it's a sort of light-hearted dig at him for that.

(and it fits with them, because i don't think they're the types to have normal or cutesy terms of "endearment" or anything, with bosselot in general it's always about insults-veiled-as-flirting and flirting-veiled-as-insults and just general tough love in some ways jhjhjg you know?

- one very definite headcanon is that ocelot wears the bullet necklace like, all the time...im a big sucker for the idea that he keeps it throughout his whole horrible life

- i don't think they got "together"/hooked up until at least the late 60s; i headcanon, as a lot of people probably do, that ocelot went looking for big boss sort of very soon after snake eater, but their first few years mainly consisted of bb teaching ocelot CQC and probably deliberately ignoring any advances lmao because i think ocelot being a) 20 and b) the boss' son would have stopped bb from immediately reciprocating lmao

- i can see bb actually being the one to tell ocelot that the boss was his mother, since bb was the one who heard her talk about her child, and along with conversations from eva and the fact that ocelot is uh kind of the spitting image he would have pieced it together before ocelot realised or found out....idk how that conversation would go tho LOL

- i think the patriots era was sort of the happiest time for them - until less enfants terribles fucked everything up. i always imagine that despite their various differences, they also bring out a playfulness in each other that wouldn't ordinarily be there - i imagine the patriots era, and early msf days to an extent, were spent dicking around and generally having a relatively good time, as much it's possible in their lives anyway

- i think their personalities go well together, like i do see younger ocelot as actually very funny/sharp when he wants to be, and bb has a sort of dry humour that matches up to that. it's easy to think of big boss as this sullen, humourless tough guy character, and he does get more withdrawn as he gets older, but in that snake eater to early msf days era he really does have a sort of charm and a capacity to strike up a real banter with ocelot that bridges their age gap.

🐆🐍

In terms of tips on characterisation, I'm not sure what to say there. I don't feel like I can say "you should write bosselot like this", because everyone's interpretation of them is different? There's no single way to write them, and I take generous liberties with canon to sort of turn ocelot in my own version of ocelot in some aspects, anyway.

I see ocelot as this very sort of lone figure who's detached from everyone else; always on the outside, observing but never fully taking part; and actually it's fitting that big boss is kind of the same. I remember seeing a post on here where someone was comparing bb and snavid and comparing how snavid always listens to whatever ppl are going off about via codec, even if he isn't interested, whereas bb would always be more clearly disinterested in paramedics ramblings. They both claim to not be interested in other people's lives - but with bb it is actually true, whereas snavid as we see later actually does have far more of a heart. So yeah, with bosselot it really is a case of two toxic, horrible bastards making each other worse... xD

If you mean characterisation tips in general, I feel like I'm too new to fiction writing to give much good advice! xD But it's a question of little details, I think; how exactly a character performs a trivial action, the ways you describe the manner in which they speak and carry themselves to show that they're a dick, without actually explicitly saying to the reader 'he is a dick'. xD

Actually, writing from second person point of view, as I've done for the last couple of fics, is perhaps easier for really getting to a characters' thoughts and how they react to things, because it's really a stream of their consciousness. Having said that though, when it comes to the other characters in a 2nd person pov fic, you've got to rely on the kind of details that I just mentioned to show what they're like, since there are no inner thoughts from them - as well as reactions from the protagonist, but of course the protagonist's impression of other characters isn't necessarily going to be accurate...

Big Boss and Ocelot are both quite tricky characters to write well, actually; because it's easy to make them into cartoonish exaggerations of their already batshit canon selves, rather than something more believably realistic. Ocelot, with his ridiculous gun spinning and cowboy couture and flair for the dramatic and his tendency to always be behind some elaborate scheme, is very much a pantomime villain; but it's getting to the actual genuine, serious motivations and feelings behind him that is fascinating to explore.

🐆🐍

I think that's probably all I can coherently say for now, hopefully some of this made sense! Sorry if it wasn't that informative. And thank you again for dropping by, I'm very happy to hear you enjoyed my stuff. Hope you have a good day!! 💕

#I'll reblog this to my art blog bc more ppl into metal gear follow me there than here

[lesbiancarat]

Book anon here to say today is a happy day because it is dk and vernon day ^0^ the fact they share bdays makes my heart so big like djakdnaks that's the best thing really! (I say this as I don't like celebrating my own birthday lol but that shiz makes me soft) like how can it not get better than sharing a birthday with your fellow bandmate who is also your buddy :'))

Back on topic, I am happy that in the fandoms I'm in, update blogs or accounts are well loved so no drama there but I agree on cc peeps, my gosh the decline of them is obvious for the past 2 years =/ I remember 2018 the carat fandom here was HUGE with creators and lots of notes but now...its hard to see more than 200 for some and while numbers don't matter because you should ALWAYS be doing this for fun, its so shocking to see the interaction go so low and its more likes. I do have a theory as to why this is the case and it might be due to nowadays, people on Tumblr find reblogging alot to be "too much" akaspamming. I would know because some told me I do this and I'm like ??? I am simply reblogging content I like and if it means hitting the rbelog limit so be it djajdjw. Legit idk why its seen as bad nowadays when everyone used to reblog alot and no one complained so maybe this could be why? Again a theory but it would make sense and its a shame if this is the case :c I admit I like stuff because I sometimes do reblog it for a color theme but mostly I hit the reblog limit so I want to reblog it later xD

But let's not get into people that take others work as their own -.- now I get giving credit for say icons (I do this for icons and headers I use because its the least I can do. I would link it but idk how to do it on Tumblr lol) but taking someone's say gif and just posting it on twitter to share is like ??? You do know there is a share button that SHARES THE ORIGINAL LINK BACK RIGHT? Smh i can't with people. That's why I try to make sure for icons at least I know its not a repost and try to stay away from pintrest as best as I can (also svt on pintrest? Are they making moodboards or smth? I leave Tumblr for a bit and this is what I come back to lol)

Oof I wrote too much again sjamdna I'm living up to my emoji huh? XD but yes my tooth is better! It hurt again last night but today we are good!

I'm late answering this but yeah the fact that dk and vernon share a Birthday is super sweet! it's fun that they get to do their birthday live together as well ^^

but yeah i joined carat tumblr around late 2017/early 2018 (i made this side blog during oh my era but I'd been reblogging svt stuff on main before then) and I'm p sure most if not all the cc's i originally followed are inactive now :( obviously like you said content creators should make content for fun and bc they want to and not for the notes, but it's understandably disheartening when less people are interacting with it and even the people who do still see your content are (at least seemingly) less enthusiastic about it (ie liking but not reblogging it, less ppl writing things in the tags or replies, etc.)

but that's so wild to me? I've never heard anyone say someone is reblogging too many things like... how do you expect to see posts if people don't reblog stuff?? id welcome that extra content on my dash dhfjfh. i guess you can go in specific tags but like. idk reblogging is the main function of tumblr i don't know why there are people sort of against it/not as willing to use it (i mean... i suspect at least one factor is other social media platforms relying more on algorithms and likes to show people new content and ppl are just more used to that maybe?)

i feel like to some extent people feel entitled to have every or any gif or fanart or fan content on their platform of choice, but like if an artist posts something on tumblr but not on twt or instagram it doesn't HAVE to be on twt or insta. people can make a tumblr (or whatever platform) account if that's the only place a creator is active and they really want to see their content. and if people want to share something cool to another platform it is not hard to just post a link to the original post and tell people to check it out. like i do that every once in a while if there's a translation that doesn't allow reposts, but i still want ppl to know that trans exists if they wouldn't normally. and yeah!! you're gonna get less engagement that way!! but that's when you need to question whether your intention is really to share something cool w people who wouldn't normally see it or if you just want clout from this cool thing for yourself

and obviously not everyone who reposts things wo credit or permission has such innocent intentions as "i want to share this cool thing" but i think in a lot of cases it is something similar to that where ppl see something and they want to use it or share it for whatever reason and they just forget that it's something an actual person took the time to create and chose to share it. fan creations, unless otherwise specified, are not like memes in that they're intended to be shared and edited and copied to hell and back

but yeah pinterest is the worst in terms of reposts. like very little if any of the content on there (at least that's fandom related) is original content. the vast majority is reposts from other platforms without credit. a few weeks ago i saw someone on twt post like an old SVT photo or something and someone asked where it was from and they were like 'idk i saw it on pinterest' and when i tell u my blood boiled dhfkfj like!! ok!! so you're reposting a repost and u have no idea what the original source is... great

but yeah i have no idea what SVT is gonna do with pinterest... guessing it's just gonna be pledis posting official/behind photos that they also post on twt anyway. it really looks like it's something bh made them create given other bhl artists also have pinterests they're all following each other. also pledis didn't even officially announce the new account opening anywhere as far as I've seen so like. i think they really don't care dhfkfj

i really don't know what bh thinks they're gonna gain though like. ik there are active fandom pinterest users but i think most of them also have other social media like twt or insta. like they're not cracking open a huge new market, and LITERALLY NO ONE expects any musician or celeb to have an official Pinterest so. it's just so unnecessary dhfkgj

I'm glad your tooth is feeling better!!!

#melia.ask #ask #📖 anon #oof prime example of me getting carried away and writing too much #this was meant to be a quick break from studying #theres another ask in my inbox which is short anyway but i really have to get back to hw and studying ;-; #long post

[musashi]

i think i want to give my chemical romance a try since everyone speaks so highly of them, but i don't know where to start! are there any specific songs or albums that are good for new listeners? or maybe like basic information i should know? i guess i could just look something like this up, but i trust someone who's a fan of said band better than some random article

what kind of music do u regularly listen to? that will be a big deciding factor. 

honestly i’d say give three cheers for sweet revenge a listen first because if you start with black parade your expectations will shoot thru the fucking roof. bullets and danger days can be enjoyed in any order theyre both good but i dont feel like they hook u like parade & revenge do.

the song most people cite when they talk about being instantly converted is mama. honestly fair. it slaps. for me i liked them a lot but didn’t truly get it until welcome to the black parade. 

i think the perfect introduction to the band is the revenge era videos, mostly notably i’m not ok and helena really introduce their whole aesthetic. im not okay’s video might as well be the poster child for the emo movement and helena really plays to their mallgoth sensibilities.

if you’re a podcast person i recommend the my chemical fancast podcast, too! you dont need to be a hardcore fan to get into it. its two queer gals who love MCR talking about the history of the band and running through every song on every album. they talk about the concepts behind the albums (every album has a story, with danger days even having a comic that goes with it) and they tell you about some of the whack ass shit the band did when recording. i looked it up when i was first getting back into my chem, because i felt out of touch with the fandom and wanted to get back to where i was when i was younger.

but yeah lol listen to three cheers for sweet revenge and then just go apeshit with the discog. and watch those videos theyre so good.

BTS: Love Yourself in Hong Kong

23 and 24 March 2019 - I loved it and had many thoughts about it below the cut.

For the Saturday 23 March show, our seats were basically looking onto the podium at the end of the catwalk so they were great. But the venue is honestly so small that any seat would've been good - this was the 3rd of 4 shows in Hong Kong, and probably the smallest shows they played on the Love Yourself tour and the smallest they'll play in years (except for Muster, lol).

For the Sunday 24 March show, our seats were one section further away from the stage, but it was still a great view with a broader angle that gave me a better view of the staging and VCRs. Both nights, I had a better view than I did at the Sydney Wings show in 2016 - this was just a smaller, closer arena.

And I enjoyed both shows so much! The shows were almost 3 hours long each but they felt like they went by in a flash. And they played so many songs, but also there were SO many more I wish they could've played - their discography is really wild at this point, it's just PACKED with hits.

In many ways the live show is the ultimate piece of fan memorabilia - but it holds a kind of tension within itself too. On the one hand, it's a unique, irreplaceable experience that can't be duplicated or repeated. On the other, especially in kpop where we have so much access to fancams and concert footage, there's pressure for the experience to meet the expectations that we have, to live up to the hype of the previous shows.

(Those two things play off each other too. How else would we - or some of us, anyway - know to watch out for those micro deviations, those little moments when Jimin runs away from Namjoon in Anpanman, when Taehyung and Jin look like they're gonna make out in So What?)

But this idea of the experience as unique and non-replicable is not quite true or not quite as simple as that. We live in an age of digital media and - this is especially true in kpop - incredibly high quality fancams and photos. Sitting at a remove of many metres, and viewing only one side of the stage, there were definitely moments that I 'missed' and had to discover later through social media. And also there's a concert DVD and a concert movie which captures maybe not your show in particular, but the essentials of this tour.

One thing that can't truly be replicated - the atmosphere. It made me laugh, in a delighted way, when the crowd just screamed and sang along to every MV and BT21 CF shown before the show. I just love the comraderie of fandom, the build of excitement. Or how pretty it looked when all the Army bombs were lit up, or when we all took out our phones. It was a good feeling. (Though as @proteinscollide said some Korean-speakers in the row behind us pointed out - it was noticeable that the crowd was much quieter when it was the Korean rather than English! LOL.)

Some of the very brief ments early in the show were repeated the following night, but their ending ments were unique to each evening. A Cantonese translator from behind the scenes translated after each of them spoke, except when they spoke in English - this helped me a little, but my Cantonese is so poor and the crowd was so LOUD that again I had to check on twitter afterwards for full translations! A few of them tried to also say some phrases in Cantonese which was very endearing; out of them all, Hoseok had the best pronounciation (which I guess fits in well with his history of having pretty good Japanese and English pronounciation too).

ETA: oh and I loved Jin with the disco ball sunnies and the pirate mask for each of the end ments!!! He's so ridiculous....I love him....

Notably on the 23rd, it was the first time Namjoon referenced their upcoming Map of the Soul: Persona comeback. On the 24th, he mentioned again that comeback was coming and it felt like it was really soon - you're telling me LOL.

Okay brief notes on the setlist:

Idol - what a way to start the show with a bang. As far as live staging goes, it's so dynamite.

Save Me/I'm Fine - I always feel like Save Me is such a tease because it stops right before my favourite verse from Hoseok and Yoongi lol but I DO love I'm Fine!

Magic Shop - lots of walking around on stage rather than choreo, this is such a lovely song!

Junghope VCR - this VCR omg. I had seen blurry fancams of it before but can we just pause and reflect for a moment on how immensely shippy it is? THEY ARE IN LOVE! SO DOMESTIC! THE RED STRING OF FATE don't look at me.

Just Dance - wow, Hoseok just makes such amazing use of the stage. Even after having seen the LY concert movie and NUMEROUS fancams, it really is true that the full impact of this stage is best experienced live (this is a great thread). The way he uses the entire space, on the raised platform and then on the catwalk, how he interacts with the crowd - he's just DYNAMITE.

Euphoria - the aesthetic of this song is so Jungkook to me, the optimism and the brightness. Also I don't know how but on the first night I somehow did not notice the gold glitter in the air AT ALL? I guess I was too caught up in JK and the dancers!

I Need U/Run - I JUST LOVE THESE SO MUCH THANK U. I was rewatching the MVs today and I just… what a time, what an era. HYYH gave us so much.

Minjoon VCR - this just screams Lake House AU, doesn't it? Separated by time but not space… Speaking of AUs, it's fascinating to think about how this was originally Yoongi and Jimin (shown in the concert DVD behinds). So they originally paired up Serendipity and Seesaw? I think it makes more sense the way it is now. Would be super interesting to see the unshown VCRs though.

Serendipity - I looked for Jimin’s tattoo both nights! And did not see it, argh! Yet the fansite photos clearly show, it was there. Sometimes, you don't see it at all at the time. This is a great stage, Jimin is such a magnetic performer and it's a super impressive dance. Also, bubbles!

Love - the boldness of Namjoon to perform this completely solo, no dancers, no stage effects aside from lighting - I admire that so much. He has the charisma for it. (Also it is very great when Namjoon slips off his robe and Hobi helps him put on his jacket, in a neat reversal of what they did for Boy Meets Evil/BST at an awards show a couple of years ago, p.s. Namseok.)

DNA - The screams for this! Both during the show and before the show when the MV was showing - it really speaks to how many people became fans in the LY era, I think. I think I've come really full circle on DNA. I grew almost tired of it when it was at its peak, but now with a bit of time and distance, I can really enjoy it again. That choreo is still wonderful. (And it's hilarious seeing that Vhope moment in the beginning get more and more casual over the course of this tour. At both shows, they just held hands or just hugged.)

Medley - the first night was I think Boyz with Fun, Attack on Bangtan, Fire, Baepsae, Dope. Second night was Dope, Go Go, Blood Sweat and Tears, Boy in Luv, Fire. I enjoyed both immensely! Hobi did the splits for the Baepsae dance break! I will never be over BST! I LOVE!

Airplane Pt 2 - this is just such a superior song and superior choreo, it's SO GOOD, thank you.

Taehyung VCR - this is so stunning, I can't even. When it pulls back and he puts his hand on the glass… and it frosts over... At the end my friend leaned over and said 'house of psychics' and was she wrong? NO SHE WAS NOT.

Singularity - this stage was immensely beautiful and breathtaking and Taehyung is purely charisma. I found out after the show that he was kind of sick on the 23rd? I honestly could not tell.

Fake Love - I've seen this so many times but you know what, this choreo is still GREAT. And Bangtan in all black, all emo is such a look.

Yoonjin VCR - this was the most straight forward of the VCRs. Again, fascinating to think it was originally Namjoon and Seokjin, Love and Epiphany.

Seesaw - the staging for this is so fun, Yoongi doing his dances and sliding off the bench and running back up again - he's so good at this!

Epiphany - oh good crying time. I did actually get a tear in my eye when this played the first night. It's just a song that means a lot to me… MUSIC, EMOTIONS! A POTENT COMBINATION! And Jin is very handsome.

The Truth Untold - vocal line all in a row like four flowers, they're just so good! The way this stage used the raised platform and the four screens was also really effective. It's such a lovely song.

Tear - I've seen so many fancams for this and the concert movie but I was still? blown?? away????? Rapline are just absolutely monsters of charisma and stage presence, and the way they deliver this with complete commitment - I was slain right there. Hoseok's ending verse, FUCK.

Mic Drop - NO ONE DOES IT LIKE BTS thank u

This was the 'end' of the show but of course we all knew there would be more. Strangely, or perhaps this is cultural, this led to a subdued interlude. There were definitely attempts to get fanchants going - sometimes successful, sometimes not, I laughed a little at some of the awkward pauses - and especially on the 23rd, there was a touching crowd singalong to Spring Day. But overall it was more subdued than I expected given how loudly the crowd did scream when BTS were on stage.

So What - SUCH A CLUB ANTHEM, it was so delightful seeing them all having so much fun! I had fun too! Fun for everyone!

Anpanman - the cutest fucking choreo, and the cutest fucking group, that is all.

Answer: Love Myself - all the ending feels… emotionally wrung out… a little exhausted… but just seeing how happy they looked and how happy I felt - I love concert.

Good evening~ Ooh I can imagine 😣Ah your hidden soft spot heh 👉👈So, the new mission :D I think I've kind of already asked you that, but feel free to tell me more if you want to! Hm... my first taste of kpop was a few years ago because at that time some of my classmates would play music videos during breaks and they would kind of dance at the front of the class? But I didn't actually get into kpop until last year when Boy With Luv was released :P 1/? -🌺

I came to know and love ATEEZ through a friend urging me to watch the Answer MV, though I think I actually saw the Wonderland one some time before (without really knowing who they were). I think the first NCT video I saw was Boss? But I also watched WayV's Take Off (don't know which was first ahah) and it was a pretty cool song! ONEUS holds a special spot because I think I stumbled upon them near the latter quarter of last year with their comeback LIT, and they were really good!! 2/3 -🌺

Ahhh oh goodness I nearly forgot to turn on anon just now asjkdfhs but yeah and Seventeen I kind of came across from following blogs that stanned them and I heard Clap and HIT that made me more interested in them! Wait there was also Home I think? (oh I can't remember that well...) The Boyz! I once listened to and liked No Air but didn't really make an effort to get to know them more? But then there was Road to Kingdom and their performances blew me away :o 3/3 -🌺

Oh! By the looks of it, you’re newer to the kpop scene than I am! I started around November of 2016, right around BST was released but I’ve been casually listening to Big Bang’s songs before then.

I can relate to the classmates dancing at the front of the class during breaks hahah! (I used to be one of the people who would rush to the front for random play dances even if I only knew like the point dance and not the entire chorus.) Because of them, I became more open about the groups I followed and I fully blame them for encouraging me to enter ~15 different fandoms (to list a few: i am a Stay, The B, NCTzen, Atiny, MyDay, Carat, Hidden KARD, Monbebe, Aroha, Universe, Wannable, iGOT7, I’m gonna stop there fdskvndf).

Ah, I first came to know ATEEZ through a friend as well! He would tell me about their predebut days, and one thing that keeps haunting me is when he told me how Hongjoong got his laptop stolen when they were in the US jfgvnbfgd (I’m still mad that we can never get to listen to he songs he made predebut. Joong, honey, if only I could avenge u ;-;) I loved their debut song, and I honestly think it’s one of the best debut song a 4th gen group has.

I started following NCT mid-Cherry Bomb era and I remember fully tunnel-visioning on Mark Lee, then Haechan, and finally Winwin (who I named this blog after)! I’ve known ONEUS since Valkyrie but I never got to get to know them more and I feel like I’m missing out lol.

Seventeen was my second ult group right after BTS! Ahhh I remember entering right before they released Al1; I think that was the most excited I was for a first comeback in a new fandom. Seventeen became my ult group for a whole year until Stray Kids took that title from them.^^ But Seventeen is like the group that I can go back to and still feel welcomed however long I’ve been gone from that specific fandom.

It’s kind of weird to look back at it. Well, at least for me. It’s only been 4 years but I’ve shed actual tears for people that mean so much to me, then the next year I’m sending another batch of strangers I’ve come to love to the military. The emotional investment I have for them is quite questionable, but  I wouldn’t have it any other way.

They’ve helped me become stronger and taught me to believe in myself when no one else could through a mere show of their own passion for music and performance. Hope came in the form of Kpop for me, I guess hahaha

#i talk too much #help i am: emotional #pero slight lang lmao #flower fest 🌺 anon

[kkukkung]

Im crying in the school bathroom rn I seriously love wonho so much I'm in pain why is he my ideal guy in every way he's so amazing and handsome and sweet but whO CARES BEVause he don't kno me haha am I right

big mood all the time im always in pain bc he rly................ doesn’t KNOW i would let him shave off my eyebrows if he wanted 2

tardy replies as usual under the cut!

(sorted from oldest to newest)

I wouldn't even care if wonho was a high maintenance boyf tbh I'd just sit and comb his hair all day and tell him he's pretty

hdjkfh this was so long ago but i think i was mostly kidding abt him being a high maintenance bf... like he would do so much giving? but i guess the only thing he’d need is constant reassurance that his s/o loves him imo jfdhgjk... i also think he’d b someone who either doesn’t settle down ever or does it very late in his life!

annie 🌹literary queen ❤️ literally crowned with a laurel wreath! not be drum attic but this midsummer nights monsta au is so!!!! give me sistar as the four star crossed lovers then drag me to h*ll and give me this doctor faustus au i'm itching for with kihyun as faustus and k.will as mephistopheles bc i love to watch my faves s*ffer but don't let me rip until i get my much ado about nothing au with the entire cast of starship ent and a lil cameo from giriboy!

(in refence to this monsta x as shakespearean archetypes ask!) fjdshgkjs shh i lov u... why is k will as mephistopheles so Accurate esp no.mercy k will lmao. um u should write all of these? in fact if... if anyone has mx literary aus.... hmu...... i’ll n*t

another thing about that incident is that it seems like the fan doesn't think Changkyun and Jooheon undersood them?? (an extension i guess they assumed they don't understand english very well) and that's pretty problematic. it seems to me that when they didn't respond the fan assumed they didn't understand and kept repeating it, as a joke. but they literally did That to the two with the most proficient english in the group... it's rly a mess all around. it's disrespectful through and through

(in relation to that gross “d*ddy” incident from a while ago) ik i feel like some intl fans think korea is a land completely culturally and linguistically alienated/divorced from the rest of the world or something and while cultural relativism is real to some extent... the idea that koreans are completely unaware of ~outside~ things is deeply racist. like mostly white ppl think that diasphoric poc are completely Different from them? when my mum went to the states 15 years ago some ppl literally asked her if there were newspapers in china lol...

i just randomly thought of monsta x as sesame street characters mostly bc i wanna see kihyun and wonho duke it out as bert and ernie (kihyun w/ the waste paper bin on his head and wonho asking 'where's the waste paper bin' and kihyun saying 'ask me that again and look into my eyes') and also minhyuk being elmo tbh...

JKGHKJDF PLEASe!!!! when will something like this b photoshopped... minhyuk as elmo is... spot on... i remember once elmo appeared on a now-discontinued late night talk show program i used to watch when i was in primary school and he was like “elmo likes wasabi, that’s why elmo has no eyebrows” and idk why ive never been able to forget this????? very lmh. also this made me think of a monsta x muppets au n minhyuk is the pic of ass-gape kermit.... next post of mine will b monsta x as kermit reaction pics

Hyungkyun is such an under appreciated ship. Like, they just get each other so well? Why do people overlook it. ㅠ.ㅠ Do you have a moment that made you ship them? How would you describe their dynamic?

it’s bc they’re intp x intj they don’t rly... Understand each other with minimal effort/real communication lmao it’s very efficient. both quiet lil darlings who aren’t emotionally That Open but enjoy their own little space together sometimes?? their dynamic is like... they’re weird in different ways but they’re v chill together. u can tell hyungwon is super fond of changkyun like he has this Expression when ck does anything at all.... i think these two rly love each other’s personalities bc they’re both kind/gentle/peaceful types and their overall ?? vibe is just highly compatible... they’re absolute darlings... v soft together... i can’t think of a favourite moment but i rly rly love their birthday messages for each other last year like changkyun’s message for hyungwon was like “ur rly cool bruh ur rly such a great person” and hyungwon’s message for changkyun was rly... just him obviously doting on him n finding him cute jksfdhg i lov them a lot :(

soyou: i know how to make hair pretty :))) knetz: dirty fckn iljin why can't she be out there being being PRODUCTIVE in society by having babies and learning how to be a good wife for her future husband ://// smh how dare she be successful now when i'm stuck doing what society wants me to do but also anonymously attacking ppl i don't personally know on the internet bc THATS respectable the irony of ugly knetz is so transparent

The whole thing about Knetz and wonho's "scandalous" past reminded me of something. As a PSA to those people who are so insistent and pushy that idols aren't allowed to have sex/date/be anything but straight: Fuck all of you. You do not own these people, and if you really cared about them you'd be happy if they were happy. Like tbh, if anyone that famous and busy could also balance out a relationship at the same time, I'd be so happy for them. It really bugs me how all idols are supposed (1/2)(2/2) have this squeaky clean innocent image where they have to look and act a certain way and have these stupid fucking dating bans because once they don't meet up to that image their success suffers. Idols already give up so much privacy, and the last thing they need is millions of people scrutinizing every little thing they do. I don't even know where I started this rant from, but basically, GIVE IDOLS PRIVACY AND DONT JUDGE THEM FOR THEIR PASTS OR FOR BEING IN RELATIONSHIPS OR WHATEVER

yeth ty for highlighting the gross obsession w purity and productivity (like the first anon said -- a very confucian sort of ideal)... i don’t rly have anything else to add here i think. also i would fight for soyou i fact i would fight lmh who said she was his ideal type in no.mercy era... she’s rly one of my faves and the way she was slandered for the hairdressing thing was one of the most ridiculous things knets ever did lmao honestly yuk

u a kihyun stan now👀👀👀

im a @fhiz​ stan it’s the same thing tbh

ahh so i saw your tags on that jh gifset! as one of the few jh stans (or maybe there are way more than i think there are lol) i rly love his "reversal charm." he has a lot of what i lack as a person: a strong presence and a lot of confidence! i respect him so much as a person alth i rag on him a lot LMAO. sorry if this is a bit long winded but i just rly wanted to put this out there ;;

this is rly cute i lov hearing ppl talk abt their faves lovingly it rly... Heals Me. i think it’s strange how underappreciated jooheon is in this fandom especially bc he’s usually the one who catches ur eye first bc he’s so hyped by starship as being a one-in-a-million talented rapper u know? and he rly shines in mvs and no.mercy but............. y does he have the least fansites jkfhdg ?? you’re v right abt the reversal charm thing but i feel like sometimes it’s very overdone like... on lots of shows he’s asked to do aegyo when rly he should be asked to... idk... rap or dance or something?? i actually think jooheon is the most serious member of monsta x sometimes bc he seems to have a sense that he’s.. the pillar of mx if that makes sense? and that’s why he’s always pushing himself and working tirelessly like he feels very Responsible for this group, more than anyone else. idk if that makes sense!!! i love him and i want him to... unwind a bit bc sometimes he looks so stressed and tired but he still feels the need to pretend to be energetic like my heart rly hurts for him :/ this got so emo im sry i do rly love to hear that u respect him sm i love jooheon stans :(

i can see what u mean about jooheon being 1 of the most masculine. (iirc u also talked abt kihyun being that in a post a while ago) like with his face and his physique he really is striking; his body=like that slim,upside-down Y that you'd learn to draw men w/ in Anatomy 101 , but i think.. ,--not that u asked, but,, i think the jury's still out on if he's comfortable w his masculinity with the way he acts feminine lyk misogynistic comedians Can sound like dead ringers for women,? idk & i take +

(not sure if there was a 2nd part to this? there’s nothing else in my inbox so i’m sry if there was and tumblr ate it) yeth i think i meant that his demeanor is the most ~~masculine~~ whereas i think kihyun is still the most... idk... mature-masculine?? if tht makes sense, and i definitely agree w u on that second point! i didn’t think of that at the time but now that i... do... think abt it... ur right and also the way he comes back from it by putting on the >swag demeanor again in an attempt to polarise it is definitely a bit 👀👀👀 he probably doesn’t want to risk his Manly Rapper Image for real u kno? that said it’s ingrained in kpop that behaving cute --> “girly” entails that sort of “comedic” high-pitched voice + compact body language etc.... like i’m not condoning that ofc but i definitely think it’s broader than this particular case! :/ hm

maybe i'd be doing better in school if i could major in kihyunology ;~; i stan him but i def think we still don't know much about him even after all this time after debut. especially when i look at him compared to wonho who wears his heart on his sleeve (bless him i love wonho sm, gotta protect this bun at all costs!!)...but ya it just makes me wanna learn more about him like who is the real kihyun??

i want to write a kihyun meta when i have time... i feel like i Get him a bit more these days but it’s also very hard to put into words bc u kno when u kinda sorta mb get some1 but it’s a feeling rather than anything conveniently expressable gkjdhfjk.... idk if anyone wants to send in some Kihyun Thoughts + Meta feel free! :>> i don’t think he’s actually... as complex as we sometimes make him out to be lol like his behaviour is actually kind of predictable? more on his later

wait is the february comeback actually true? ugh i'm so conflicted cuz on one hand i'm excited if there's really gonna be a full length album, but i also think they need more rest but then there's the matter of getting their first win and idk i'm super psyched but i'm also worried that the boys are being overworked

i still feel like they had a comeback like yesterday lol like looking at their schedules stresses me out bc they do so much..... im glad wonho got to go to his mum’s cafe recently tho! all we can do is have faith in them rn and when it’s time... stream, buy things if ur able to, spread the news and the hype etc. i am definitely Worried abt some things like the competition they’re up against but.... gotta have faith u kno... and i feel like all active idols are kind of... permanently worked very hard but i think currently only jooheon and shownu are a bit Overloaded. also has the date been confirmed yet... it’s february already...

#i planned 2 answer more but im... sleepy... #soon... i will... catch up... and make this blog neater + more navigation-friendly #ask #compilation #Anonymous
