When the Cow Jumped Over the Moon

So, how did you end up in Jisung's car, holding flowers and wearing something other than your old over-worn sweatpants? To be honest, you're not sure either. If you were told yesterday that Jisung Park, your socially awkward best friend, liked you and was planning on asking you out on a date, you would have scoffed and replied, "yeah, sure when cows jump over the moon." You glanced up at the full moon... no cows in sight. 

Jisung cleared his throat, breaking the awkward silence that filled the car. “You look nice today.”  You raised an eyebrow at his comment. Jisung was dressed to the nines today, with his white fitted shirt and black jeans emphasizing his broad shoulders and long le— you shook your head slightly to keep from staring at Jisung. "Yep, my scruffy jeans and faded T-shirt really scream next top model."

A draft that will never be finished

Gosh my last post got me all riled up so imma just say to all the kpop networks and fandom content creators/consumers who call out minors (with or without @) and tell other people to block them for interacting with and/or writing smut:

Y’all are fucking sick

It’s one thing for someone to say I don’t feel comfortable with minors interacting with me/my posts (valid) and it’s another thing to call them out and embarrass them for exploring their sexuality.

Fanfics are one the safest way for someone to explore what they like/don't like sexually(kinks) without actually putting themselves in a vulnerable situation. I hope y'all feel happy after ostracizing them and potentially fucking them up for life.

#yall know who you are #kpop smut #kpop network #no one asked aadhi #ive really been holding this back for months now #you dont tell a teen that safe sex is abstinence #you educate them on how they can be safe and still explore their sexuality

Hot take (and I know ppl won’t agree with me for this one):

Creative freedom is freedom in writing anything and that also means concerning topics.

I’m not saying that I don’t condone these topics but who are we to morally police someone on what someone writes about. Like where is the line? And who determines that line? And why do they get to choose the line?

I’m also terrible at explaining stuff so here’s a Reddit post that has better explanations then I do:

https://www.reddit.com/r/FanFiction/comments/hap5bt/so_whats_up_with_ao3_and_pedophilic_content/

Anyway my stance on fiction and online harassment is shaped by the fact that I had unrestricted access to the local library from about the age of 8 and read quite a few books with fucked up content that I might have been a bit too young for and that caused absolutely no long-term damage to my mental health; meanwhile I was bullied mercilessly by my peers for several years and I’m still dealing with after-effects of that.

#high key why I left those kpop networks #if anyone has a kpop network that doesn’t regulate what members write let me now #kpop networks really acting like they’re some moral police #can’t say you allow creative freedom if there’s a limit to the freedom #and no I’m not pedophile sympathizer #if you’re going to insult do a better job than that one #imagine teenagers having sex gasp how could they #toxic purity culture #makes me sick

tired of people saying “gender is a spectrum, sex is a binary” when they’re trying to explain transness or whatever. sex is also a spectrum

#gosh tell me you didnt take genetics without telling me you didnt take genetics #let me educate yall #in humans there are two sex chromosomes: X and Y #during meiosis if disjunction occurs normally then we get X and Y gametes which leads to formation of XX or XY #however sometimes nondisjunction occurs and some individuals are born monosomy or trisomy (aka lack 1 chromosome or have an extra) #sometimes ppl dont know bc it shows no effects #like for example XYY doesn't show any effects and many indiv with these chromosomes dont know they have a trisomy #other times there are effects with symptoms ranging #its sad that many indiv arent told that they are intersex until much older bc of the stigma associated with it #i hope going forward we can distigmitize it :D

a guide to leaving feedback / interacting with fics.

recently in the kpop fanfic community, there have been a lot of authors that depart from their blogs due to the lack of feedback & interactions they receive on their fics. this could be due to a number of reasons, but since we are a fic-recommendation blog, we figured we would do our part in helping the community be more aware of a couple ways on how they can spread love on their favorite works and prevent more authors from leaving due to this specific reason!

please understand that is just the perspective of the admins of ficscafe. other people have different preferences and opinions, but we compiled information gathered from perspectives of an abundance of authors and this seems to be the middle ground / popular belief. if you have any questions or concerns, please drop by the ficscafe ask box.

reblogs + text response. if we’re talking about the best way to promote authors and make them feel good, reblogging the fic itself and writing your feedback in the body of the post is the way to do it. there’s nothing better than an author clicking their notifications and seeing a reblog + comment on a fic they’ve written. it not only helps with promoting, but it also gives them an idea of how their audience feels about their work! comment within the reblog vs. tags. there’s nothing wrong with either of these! they both have the same purpose—promotion with feedback for the author. the only setback for tags is that if the author wanted to respond to your comment, it would require them to take a screenshot instead of reblogging with your feedback above theirs. stuck on what to write in the comments? easy! write literally anything pertaining to the fic. you can quote parts of the story where you felt a certain way, you can compliment the writing style, or you can discuss your thoughts on the fic. you can also talk about how much it impacted you, how interesting the storyline was, or even the uniqueness of the fic. literally anything. authors love hearing from their readers, and it motivates them to continue writing more !!

comments. only leaving comments is fine, however, it’s not particularly the best when it comes to promotion. authors do love seeing how their audience feels about their fic–but it’s a bit discouraging when their readers comment but it wasn’t good enough to warrant a reblog. authors sometimes depend on their tags, networks, and pages like ours to help with sharing their stories, but it only goes to a certain extent. please reblog !! your reblog will be more helpful than you think.

likes. probably the absolute worst way to express your adoration for a fic. tumblr is not like instagram—in order for the fic to be spread throughout the community, liking won’t take it far. liking a fic and leaving it as that is almost as if you’re hiding the fact that you enjoyed it. if you really did enjoy the content, please refer back to #1 as to which is the best way.

leaving asks. this is sweet !! we understand that sometimes readers can be shy, but again, it has the same result as #2 comments. leaving asks means interacting with the author, and this can create an ongoing conversation and build a relationship with your favorite author. nothing is better (other than a reblog + text response) than seeing a little bubble above your inbox with a new ask.

donations. this is probably the least popular action. there’s nothing wrong with authors asking for donations, but they shouldn’t make you feel like it’s an obligation or guilt trip you into doing it. donations should be within your means–but if you can donate and the fic was worthwhile enough to donate, feel free to do so! most authors have a kofi, but if they don’t, feel free to drop by their inbox and ask!

Good morning! I’m salty.

I think we, as a general community, need to start taking this little moment more seriously.

This, right here? This is asking for consent. It’s a legal necessity, yes, but it is also you, the reader, actively consenting to see adult content; and in doing so, saying that you are of an age to see it, and that you’re emotionally capable of handling it.

You find the content you find behind this warning disgusting, horrifying, upsetting, triggering? You consented. You said you could handle it, and you were able to back out at any time. You take responsibility for yourself when you click through this, and so long as the creator used warnings and tags correctly, you bear full responsibility for its impact on you.

“Children are going to lie about their age” is probably true, but that’s the problem of them and the people who are responsible for them, not the people that they lie to.

If you’re not prepared to see adult content, created by and for adults, don’t fucking click through this. And if you do, for all that’s holy, don’t blame anyone else for it.

#the writers responsibility of warning readers stops at the tags #readers need to take responsibility and stray from content they dont want to see #honestly sometimes it feels like other ppl have more say in what a writer wants to write about or not #and then they have the audacity to make the writer feel like shit #bc its somehow the writers fault for writing something that makes the reader feel uncomfortable wHEn THE reADer CONSenTED #if you dont like it STOP READING IT

reblog and put in the tags how many of your mutuals know your (actual) name

THE MISCONCEPTION ABOUT COMMENTING ON FIC

I’ve read all kinds of posts both from writers and readers lamenting about comments on fic. Authors are upset when they don’t get any, readers don’t know what kinds of comments to leave, etc. And it finally clicked in my brain why I think a lot of people don’t bother writing comments. 

And this is what it boils down to:

Writers do not want praise.  We just want to talk about our story. 

I can’t speak for everyone obviously - but I think the majority of writers don’t care so much for the “omg you’re a brilliant writer!!” comments as much as we just want to hear your thoughts on the story. Even if it’s just your thoughts as you’re reading of “oooh x happened! I can’t believe y said this! What’s going to happen now that z has happened?!” We literally just want to talk about what we’ve written like you would with a friend about a tv show. We’re not out here demanding praise like some entitled narcissist. 

While praising our writing skills or writing style is appreciated, it doesn’t need to be said on every fic and every chapter that you read. If you regularly comment on someone’s work that’s telling enough that you like our technique. Readers shouldn’t feel pressured to have to praise a writer’s abilities every time they want to comment. 

In the grand scheme of things, talking about the fic/chapter is actually more helpful to us writers instead of spewing praise. It’s the same with artwork. As nice as it is that people tell me “wow your art is so pretty!” it’s a LOT more useful to me to get comments like ���I love their expressions!” or “the lighting on this is gorgeous!” because then I know WHAT people are liking about it. If no one ever comments on my backgrounds, I now know what to improve. If most people comment on liking the expressions, I now know the strong points of my art and can use it to my advantage to make even better art in the future. 

The same goes for fic. If multiple people tell me they liked a certain part of the story I now know that things similar to that are a hit. It’s feedback I can use to improve the story and give my readers more of what they want. Without that I have no idea what they like about the fic.

Talking with a writer about their story also gives them inspiration!! Nothing gets us more in the mood to work on a fic than to have people wanting to talk about it. A lot of times just talking about one of my fics with someone will give me that push to continue working on it. Getting a comment that just says “great chapter” or “you’re a great writer” doesn’t do much to motivate us to continue that particular fic. But if you talk about the story and the characters it gives us motivation to continue working on it, may even give us ideas for future chapters. I would hope that those of you with “comment anxiety” find this approach so much easier than trying to praise the writer every time you read.

So that fic the author hasn’t updated in forever that you’re dying to read? Talk to them about the fic and the elements of the story! It will make the writer want to talk to you about it and will get their mind thinking about it, hopefully inspiring them to continue where they left off. Fics that are left in silence are more likely to be abandoned or even deleted because nothing feels worse than putting your heart into a story to have no one say anything about it. 

TLDR; Writers do not want praise, we just want to talk with our readers about the story itself, and these are the kinds of comments that inspire us to keep writing more.

hey everyone! so i’ve decided to move my account to a completely new one @taem-min because well everytime i log into tumblr its only for writing writing writing i can never reblog gifs or useless stuff or have the general fun i used to have because my dumbass created two seperate main blogs as main and writing.

also, there was the whole retagging 1.8k posts which is gonna be tedious for me so i’ve decided that instead….i’m just going to start out fresh as a sideblog under my main @kkooongie .

so im prolly gonna lose all my moots here but it would be great if you guys could reblog it to spread the word and i can find all of you again in that blog.

this account will stay but i’ll be reblogging all my stories back to that account.

i’ll finish the 750 followers event and the inner y/n event here and alll new fics are gonna be posted there from now on.

it was a huuuge decision i had to take considering the fact i’ve reached so far on this blog and i know i’m not that great writer to reach 800 followers once more in an instant but i hope this change would be great for me and i can start fresh and better!!

Hate to be that person, but WW3 trend on TikTok is not funny at all, especially your stupid POVs. Because no, Jessica from Chicago, you won’t have to hide in the basement to avoid being nuked and no, Kyle from LA, you won’t get drafted to the front lines. 

You again missed the whole point and managed to make this situation all about yourself, so I’m going to assure your stupid ass - this war is not going to affect you in any way, but you know who it’s going to affect? Actual people from Ukraine, who are going to lose their lives and be displaced from their homes, just like for the past 8 years. 

So congratulations on your stupidity, because it’s not about “I need a way to cope 🥺🥺🥺”, it’s about you celebrating and making fun of other people’s death.
