pov

Pairing: Jeon Wonwoo x Female Reader

Word Count: 3k+

Genre: fluff, hurt/comfort

Warning: wonwoo is a god sent of a man

This fic was inspired by “pov - ariana grande”

•••

You’ve seen people stutter, in loss for words when they’re asked “What’s the best thing that has ever happened to you?” If you were to be asked the same question a year ago, you might’ve did the same thing. Stutter and be in loss for words.

But if they ask you the very question today. You can pridefully answer with a happy smile plastered all over your face, “Jeon Wonwoo.”

All your life, you’ve seen people being happily in love, for it to only last a short amount of time. After the sweet lovey dovey period pass, comes the storm. The storm that would leave people in tears, heartbreaks upon heartbreaks and never ending travesty.

Past relationships of yours did nothing to break the stereotypes. Every single relationship ending with misery. Making you realize that it’s not worth the pain if you ever decided to try again.

But then, Wonwoo happened.

It’s like he got superpowers. Jumping straight out of your deepest fantasy. Breaking every fear and accusations. Granting you all the wishes you’re even too scared to dream of. The embodiment of the perfect man.

The first time you met Wonwoo was at a football game. He was dressed casually in jeans and a t-shirt. Very appropriate for the late September weather.

Wonwoo was calm, he wasn’t loud. Unlike his friends who was hollering the whole entirety of the game, he only threw a couple excited ‘Yes!’ every now and then. Making him stand out even more.

“Who’s that?” you finally give in and ask one of your friends. Can’t help yourself from glancing over to his direction way too many times.

“Which one? Be more specific. There’s literally a dozen guys if not more over there.”

“That one, the one with glasses.” you try to conceal your pointing fingers with your purse. “Does he even go here? Haven’t seen him before.”

Your friends started laughing. Landing them a confused annoyed look from you, “Bitch, don’t even think about it. He’s way too good for fucked up bitches like us.”

Rolling your eyes, you glance at his direction one last time. Your friends are right, he’s probably too nice for an insecure heartless girl like yourself. You don’t even believe in love anymore. Not after all the heartbreak you went through.

“Guess you’re right. Relationships are a waste of time anyway.”

•••

“Excuse me, is this seat taken? Wouldn’t wanna bother you but everywhere else is taken. Sorry.” a deep voice penetrates through the lofi music playing from your airpods.

You turned your head with a slight annoyance and was about to snap only to find the mysteriously calm guy from that home game a couple of weeks ago. This time dressed in a warm beige pullover contrasting his jet black hair.

You took a few seconds to soak in his appearance. His eyes were the sharpest thing you had ever seen despite being covered with his glasses. And his nose was red, probably due to the rapid drops of temperature in the early November weather.

“Yeah, sure. It’s yours.” you nod, trying your best to look away.

“Thank you.” he calmly say before taking the only empty seat next to you. Mid-term week would have the library filled up to the brim.

To this day you really couldn’t comprehend the crazy urges that came over you that day, the one that made you turn your seat slightly towards him so you could glance at him easier. Or the one that have you asked for his name and suggested that you two should save each other seats at the library.

“What the fuck? Did you just came out of the library while talking to Wonwoo?” your friend’s jaw drops as you meet her on the bench to eat the take-out she’s currently holding up for you to take.

“You know him? Did you asked for extra sauce?”

“Yeah, I got like 3 classes with him. And I did, had to pay extra for those. Don’t change the subject, why were you talking to Wonwoo?” your friend demands as she hands you the little containers of sauce.

Drenching your lunch with sauce, you answer nonchalantly. “He sat next to me at the library. We talked, that’s all. And I’ll pay for my sauces don’t you worry, love.” you wink at your friends.

“He’s very cute ain’t he? He’s single I think. But you gotta shoot your shot fast cause I know for a fact half of the girls in my class are crushing on him.” your friends wiggling her eyes in a very teasing manner.

You sigh loudly, confused wether you’re happy with knowing that he’s single or a tad bit jealous thinking he got girls drooling all over him.

Shaking your head to rid yourself the ridiculous thoughts, you snap at your friend. “Shut up, you know I don’t do relationship. Besides we’ve only just met, so calm your fucking tits.”

Rolling her eyes, your friend swallows her food before murmuring lazily, too familiar with your cynicality. “Yeah, yeah, you and your stupid relationship bullshit. I’m just saying that Wonwoo’s a catch and a ton of people I know tryna fish.”

And this time it is your turn to roll your eyes at your friend, acting as if you have no care in the world yet your night ends with you staring at the ceiling wondering why this particular man with a smile that turns his eyes into slits wouldn’t leave your mind.

•••

Your friend : I swear if you stood me up again, I will never talk to you ever again!!!!!! You couldn’t possibly be studying on a friday night!!!!!!!

You : Babe, I fucking love you, you know I do. But I have to take a raincheck tonight. Pls don’t hate me <3

Your friend : You better gave me a solid fucking reason. Our whole friendship depends on it.

You : I have a date… with Wonwoo… How’s that for a reason?

Your friend : ????????? SPILL!!!!!!

You : STOP CALLING ME OR I’ll BLOCK YOUR ASS! I’ll tell you everything tonight!

Your friend : YOU BETTER!

And with that you threw your phone on the bed before going back to your make up. Rushing as you glance at the time, knowing Wonwoo would be here soon.

If the countless study dates you’ve been on with Wonwoo have taught you one thing, it’s that Jeon Wonwoo is a punctual man, showing up exactly on the dot every single time. So it’s no surprise to you when your phone rings at exactly 5 PM.

“Hey. I’d open the car door for you but I know you’ll just make fun of me for it. You know.. the whole cheesy gentleman stuff you hate.” Wonwoo welcomes you with a smile as you sit yourself on his passenger seat.

You had to remind yourself to breathe as you take in his appearance. Wonwoo in leather jacket should be a crime. No, Wonwoo in any kinda clothing would look so good it should be a crime. But then again, Wonwoo without any clothing would—

You shake your head vigorously to get rid of the thoughts. Fastening your seat belt as a distraction from the man seated on the driver seat staring at you with the biggest smile plastered on his face. “Looks like you know me better than I do.”

And you weren’t wrong. Not at all. Over the next few weeks, Wonwoo has proven he knows you like the back of his hand.

Wonwoo would casually do these sweet little things you never thought would spread warmth in your chest, like giving you the last piece of pizza or opting to switch your matcha latte with his macchiato when the barista got your order wrong, knowing you wouldn’t have the heart to call the barista out and would just pretend to drink the matcha latte.

You didn’t realized it at first, but Wonwoo has changed you for the better. Often times you’re shocked on how easy it is for you to let go of your ego and own up to you mistakes to him. Only to him though.

“We should’ve just took the next exit, babe. Look at the traffic.” Wonwoo laughs at the ridiculous amount of unmoving cars in front of you. He wasn’t saying it to make you feel bad about insisting to take the current exit. No, Wonwoo would never do that.

The old you would’ve fire back at him. Telling him something along the lines of how should you know that there’s going to be a power line collision that blocked the traffic flow. But instead, you just sigh, “I know, I should’ve just listened to you. I’m sorry, babe.”

Looking very confused, Wonwoo takes your hand and bring it to his lips. “Don’t be ridiculous, babe. How would you know that the traffic’s gonna be backed up?” Wonwoo continue to pepper kisses on you top of your hand. Sending shivers down your spine. “Besides, this means we got more time to listen to that favorite boyband of yours.”

In this very moment, you are now speechless. He is definitely too good to be true.

•••

Life with Wonwoo feels secure, safe if you will. Not that there’s someone out there trying to get you, but you just feel safe when you’re with him. It’s a warm kind of safe. The kind only Wonwoo could provide.

Night’s without his raspy voice lulling you to sleep felt like a nightmare. Hours not spent looking at his piercing eyes felt like it was moving half the speed.

Sometimes you would find yourself wondering how much you’ve changed.

You, the girl who’s no longer believe in love, let alone being in a relationship is now spending most of your time glued to Wonwoo’s side willingly.

You, who pretty much always refuse any form of kindness from other people, thinking you don’t deserve it or scared with the burden of not being able to return the kindness, is now accepting everything Wonwoo is giving you willingly. Be it affection or pretty books he ordered for you with no special occasion.

These changes not only surprises you but also people around you. Shocked gasps echos in you friend group whenever you brought Wonwoo along. Talking about how wild it is for you to be stuck to a guy this long when you usually only stay with a man for two weeks tops.

“Babe, do you.. maybe.. wanna meet my friends?” Wonwoo asked nervously one night. Looking down at you who’s currently laying on the couch with your head resting on his lap. Wonwoo’s finger playing with your hair as the two of you catch up on the latest marvel series that just keep coming.

Hearing him being nervous made you chuckle, “Why do you sound like that?”

“Like what?”

“Like you're nervous or something. And yes, I would love to meet your friends.” you smile at him as one of your hand reach up to pat the side of his face. Making Wonwoo smile back before he leans in and plant the sweetest kiss on your forehead.

You’ve seen his friends a few times but never actually meet them before. His friends are loud, you wouldn’t think Wonwoo would hang out with them given his very calm and collected personality.

You remember clearly how Wonwoo caught your eyes that night, sitting calmly enjoying the game as his friends noisily holler at every single little thing that happened. Meanwhile Wonwoo would just casually balling his fist with excitement whenever your school scored a point.

“Do you think they’re gonna like me?” you ask Wonwoo, suddenly feel nervous as he backs his car into the driveway. It was a small get together held in one of his friends name Hoshi’s house.

Being the over analyzing person that you are, you asked Wonwoo to give you a brief explanation about his friend group. Apparently there are thirteen of them including Wonwoo. They’ve been friends since a long time ago, hence why he’s so comfortable around them despite their differences.

“They would, trust me. I’m just scared you’re gonna get overwhelmed. Cause they sometimes could be too much.” Wonwoo pauses, his hands fly to the either side of your face, giving you a small squeeze of reassurance before continuing, “Especially Hoshi, Seungkwan dan DK. If you ever need me to swoop in and get you out of there just wave your hand and I’ll come to the rescue.” he jokes, planting a quick peck on your nose.

You’re pretty sure your heart just did a backflip.

Keeping you close to his side, Wonwoo lead the two of you to the main living room where you can definitely hear the extravagant noise of singing and laughing.

And right when they spot the two of you everyone who was sitting automatically stand up and clapping, meanwhile the one who’s already standing rushed to welcome the both of you.

“Oh wow, you’re so pretty, no wonder Wonwoo would rather hang out with you. Can’t blame him.” says the guy who introduced himself as Jeonghan earlier, making you burst out laughing. Can’t handle the cheesy compliment.

“Okay! Passed! She’s not the shy type, like the one Seungcheol always bring. Good job Wonwoo!” Seungkwan semi-shout, gathering everyones attention. Pulling laughs from everyone except from Seungcheol.

And with that you easily insert yourself with the fun dynamic Wonwoo’s friend group always seemed to carry. Spending the night laughing, singing and dancing along to the choreographed routine that Hoshi’s just made on the spot.

You were having so much fun with Wonwoo’s friend, you sometime would psyched yourself out thinking he would stare you down and be mad cause you’re being too close with his friends only to find him sitting comfortably smiling warmly at you, enjoying the performance you put out with his friends.

When it was time to go home, you can feel your heart beating fast walking beside Wonwoo to his car. He hasn’t said a word to you. Not until the two of you seated inside his car.

“Did you have fun?” you hear him say, you’re too afraid to look at him.

Staring down at your intertwined fingers, you answer him. “Wonwoo I’m sorry, I should’ve known the limit. I was being too friendly with your friends. I’m sorry.” you softly plea.

A few seconds passed with no sound heard from the both of you. Then Wonwoo chuckles. “Babe, look at me.” he softly say, putting his long fingers under your chin to advert your gaze towards him. “Why are you saying sorry? I love how you get along with my friends.”

To say that you are in shock is an understatement.

“Wh.. what?” you stutter, finally have the courage to look into his eyes.

“Babe, why are you trembling? Do you feel sick?” Wonwoo panics, grabbing you with two strong arms. You can see the evident worry in his beautiful eyes.

And at that moment you are flabbergasted. You couldn’t believe that this person sitting right in front of you, whose currently in the state of panicking thinking you’re not feeling well is real. You really thought he was saving his rage for you to hear now. And you have every single one of your friend’s toxic relationship to blame for it.

A person like Wonwoo exist.

And right now you can feel yourself falling and falling into him. Every baggage you’ve been packing seemed to be fading and now, all you can see is Wonwoo.

Catching him off guard, you launch yourself forward pass the car console and into his lap.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you.” you chant into his neck. Can’t find it in you to look him straight in the eyes.

Still shocked, Wonwoo run his hands down your back in attempt to soothe you. “Hey, are you okay?”

Sensing the warm tears spilling down your face to his neck, Wonwoo abruptly pull you away from him to really make sure you’re okay. “Hey, hey, what happen? I’m lost, why are you crying, babe. Did I do something?”

With staggered breath you finally manage to say, “I have never felt so loved and trusted. Nobody ever loved me like you do.”

You can see Wonwoo’s shoulder relaxed as if a huge weight was lifted off of it. “Oh baby, if only you could see yourself through my eyes.” Wonwoo softly say with his hands running up and down your arms. “I know, you don’t like me being cheesy but let me say this one time. You deserve it, babe. You deserve all my love and more. I hate how you always doubt yourself and thinking you’re not deserving of what you have.”

Partly because you’re starting to blush hearing the sweet, sweet words falling from Wonwoo’s mouth, you hide yourself with both your hands. “I really wish I could love me the way that you love me. The way I love you.”

“I hope so too, babe. But I’ll be here and I will love you until you see how much you’re worth.” You can feel Wonwoo’s fingers circle your wrists and pulling it down so he could stare right into your eyes.

“You’re so fucking pretty.” Wonwoo whispers as he inches closer.

And as soon as you close your eyes, you can feel the warmth of Wonwoo’s lips on yours. Moving softly against yours in the sweetest pace.

Sighing, you let yourself melt into the kiss, into him.

You don’t know which stars to thank for bringing Wonwoo into your life. All you know is you’re forever grateful of having your perfect boyfriend by your side, through thick and thin.

Making you love not only him but also yourself more with every passing day.

Headcanons on what the creeps would be like in a bl^nt rotation [includes jane the killer, clockwork, jeff the killer, ben drowned, and ticci toby]

—————————————————

a/n: these are my headcanons on what the creeps [jane, jeff, natalie, toby, ben] are like during a blunt rotation with eachother. if you havent already, i really recommend reading my headcanons on what the creeps are like high on their own time here just to understand this post a bit better. enjoy c:

✮ in this rotation we have: ben, jeff, toby, jane, and natalie aka clockwork

✮ lets set the scene: usually everyone’s go to smoke sesh spot is ben’s room because it’s just the vibiest and he’s always got the good stuff on him. his room will have his led light’s on and they WILL be on green. it’s a must to be on green. all his other lights like his lava lamp will also be on. and he’ll always have some quiet lofi on in the back to give the room a relaxing feel. [ben can be a jerk sometimes but one thing he will do is make sure everyone is comfortable enough to start smoking. we don’t want any panic attacks]

✮ unfortunately for nina, she is never invited to the sesh anymore because she tends to be highly annoying

✮ mainly the conversations between everyone starts off easy going, usually just talking about what slender did to piss them off this time or whatever crazy/strange thing they witnessed today.

✮ ben is definitely the one that’s got everyone laughing, like i said in another post he’s the absolute funniest when he’s high off his ass. it gets even better when toby starts joking along with him, i mean these guys are masters at bouncing jokes off each other.

✮ jeff will talk about his most recent murders while insensitively making jokes about them while jane rolls her eyes

✮ both jane and natalie at some point will playfully start picking on jeff to which he will playfully pick on them back

✮ this usually starts by jeff saying something stupid or saying something that just didn’t really make sense and natalie and jane will point it out every single time and make fun of him for it

✮ another thing is that when jeff tells a story he uses sound effects and it’s the funniest thing to natalie and jane, they’ll definitely make fun of the sounds and mock him

✮ examplé, jeff was once describing how he timed himself to see how fast he can kill someone [he’s lame like that, i wasn’t kidding when i said he was insensitive to his victims/murders] at one point he described the sound of his knife as “chchchch” to which natalie and jane simultaneously mocked the sound and laughed for a good 10 minutes about it

✮ both jeff and natalie will argue over his hypothetical questions about who is right or why their idea would never work

✮ both jeff and natalie really enjoy discussing on what they would do if a zombie apocalypse were to actually happen

✮ toby and ben eventually chime in to their conversation but they never take the conversation seriously

✮ so we have jeff and natalie arguing like the situation is genuinely happening at that very moment while ben and toby are cracking jokes about what they would do and making fun of jeff and natalie while pointing out the holes in their plans while jane just laughs along and listens to everyone sound like idiots

✮ eventually at some point ben and toby will decide they wanna go out and do something which usually involves a gas station run and just running around the nearby town acting like children

✮ jeff, jane, and natalie tag along but they’re falling behind caught up in talking about some random drama that natalie definitely brought up on accident [that girl cant keep a secret]

✮ sometimes if they smoked alot, ben and toby will come up with the dumbest ideas

✮ once, they both went out during the winter in like 40 degree weather and jumped off a bridge literally just for fun

✮ and they’ve done way more dumber things than that

✮ like this one time they both convinced the whole group to sneak into a house party where the cops ended up getting called and toby being the funny guy he thinks he is shouted out something along the lines “aww who invited these guys”. obviously that got the attention of the officers who noticed they were all high. basically that night consisted of a party and running away from cops chasing them.

✮ jane and natalie are basically a duo in the group

✮ eventually they’ll start talking to just each other and it’s usually about more drama natalie can’t keep to herself or they’re talking shit about nina or making fun of jeff

✮ they will definitely start sharing tmi details about their life with each other [as besties do]

✮ after a few hours most of them will get tired

✮ usually toby and natalie get tired around the same time and jane will end up going to her room since nat’s not there anymore

✮ so it’s just jeff and ben left

✮ thats when it starts to get deep

✮ i headcanon jeff and ben to be close friends so once it’s just them left thats when they feel comfortable enough to start getting into heavier topics

✮ i mean this is the one and only time jeff will ever show emotions and disclose information about him actually… like… caring?… about people. which is the strangest thing to hear coming from jeff considering how he puts on a cold and distant persona around people

✮ like he has opened up to ben about how grateful he feels to have him in his life and even toby and natalie too. he has opened up about how he really does enjoy being able to talk about his dumb theories with natalie and to actually know that she is truly listening knowing that she’s also into that stuff

✮ after knowing jeff for as long as he has it’s not strange hearing this from him but in the past he was SHOCKED i tell you. shocked. because it was just so unlike him

✮ but even after years of being jeff’s best friend it still shocked him to hear jeff admit to how he felt bad for what he did to jane even though she really does get on his nerves.

✮ but yea these guys will spill their guts when it’s just them

————————————————————————

a/n: that’s all i got. if you have any more ideas or suggestions dm me and i will consider adding them all to a part 2! if you want to see any other headcanons topics you can dm me those requests too because MY REQUESTS ARE OPENN!!!! also check out my jeff the killer hcs <3

have a great day and don’t forget to be nice 💕

🦴

🍓

🥤

Please!

🦴 = a piece of media that inspires my writing?

Not really one set piece. More like music in general does. I often listen to lofi beats when writing or my writing playlist to set the mood of what I’m trying to write. Or it could be music I’m listening to in the car or waiting somewhere could lead to some bullet points that become a fic. 😆

🍓= what led me to write fanfic in the first place?

Going deep here aren’t you Em? 👀 lol I’ve enjoyed writing since I was little as an extension of my love of reading. First with poems and the anime fanfiction when I actually watch more anime. Now I read more manga and don’t write fanfiction about it. If one squints on A03 - I may have dabbled in Marvel characters and actors for a short time. 🫢 The took a long pause as life happened. Sometime last year as my mental health improved so did my love of writing and I hyper focused on Pedro Pascal so here we are. 🤣 I write more the better my mood is. Maybe a bit too much background 😵

🥤= recommend and author or fic you love

Ugh just one? Dammit. 😒 I shall not! I’ll do eight because there are no favorites! Only peeps we support! And I can’t really call any of them number one I enjoy them all too much. 🥰

1. @morallyinept Pretty much anything you read of Jett’s will be beautiful, sensual, take you to a far away place or have needing to remove clothing - possibly from reading the same fic. 😆 She covers a wide variety of Pedro characters and is a wealth of knowledge on them. She also is just really talented and sweet.

2. @maggiemayhemnj Sure Ms. Payday doesn’t have a long Masterlist but every fic on there is worth reading for her turns of phases, vivid descriptions and her love of both Joel and Ezra. 💕

3. @megamindsecretlair One of my fellow black writers who keeps readers thirsty and eager for more with her Sam, Bucky and Loki series (all of which I need to catch up on or finish 👀) and is a hilarious person as she is kind.

4. @soft-girl-musings Another fellow black writer who’s “Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps” 1920’s or 40’s (I’m not great with telling time obviously 🙄 ) has me wondering what’s going to happen next, what is going on in that club and where else am I going to see curly haired Marcello is going to pop up at. 🤣

5. @ramblers-lets-get-ramblin The Mistress of Agnst. Her masterlist is for those who aren’t afraid to explore the darker side and stories that may not have happy endings but you’ll still feel satisfied that to finished it. To feel another type of satisfaction, you’ll need to read her smut and seek your other completion there. ☺️ You’ll be thankful for both rides.

6. @pedroshotwifey A newer moot to me who has equal parts smut, agnst and dabs of darkness in there. What can I say? I like dark fics if they’re just right. Like I like my crime dramas and cop procederals. 🤣 She and I have a good time supporting each other and exchanging thots. Her “To The Flame” series has set the reader up for what may be a spectacular fall or maybe she’ll find her way out? Only she knows.

7. @magpiepills Ezra’s second wife (because @morallyinept is his first wife and I think @maggiemayhemnj is the paramour - because it sounds fancy) The amount of filthy things she’s had him do both with one arm and two is something everyone should read twice. I also especially enjoyed her fic “Aquarius” which a whore version of Javier Peña that spoke strongly to me. Or maybe parts of me, let’s not split hairs. 🤭

8. @angelofsmalldeath-codeine She’ll say she’s not a writer. BUT as all writers know, we don’t do very well if someone isn’t reading stuff we toss out into the ether. Hemmy is as supportive as they come, reblogging and offering many a thot as both the High Chancellor of the Horny Delegation and as a friend. ❤️ Plus she supports my very soft bois Dieter and Javi G. 😆 She I think was one of the main reasons I wrote more of “Weddings 101 with Dieter.” She asked me something along the lines of, “is there more to this? This is a very cool or unique premise.” As she well knows, just tell me I did something well and I’m happy as a pearl in a clam. 🤣

Fanfic author ask game

Thanks for the ask Em! Just know I pretty much write paragraphs because I gotta explain. 🤭 I’m Nerdie and I’m wordy. 😚 I had to make one bad joke. You have to be able to tell it’s me.

#fanfic authors #fanfic author ask game #fanfiction #such fun #i wanted to make sure I answered as best I could #there’s so many more writers I could mention #pedro pascal #pedro pascal characters #pedro pascal fanfiction

Jimin, Serendipity, and Me

I’ve been wanting to make this post for a while. I had to wait until all the dust settled from MS and I could type this without crying. It’s no secret that Jimin is very special to me, which sounds silly to say because I don’t actually know him in real life, but I feel connected to him. Hear me out.

Even after all of the amazing solo songs that Jimin has gifted us, Serendipity is still my favorite. Between the concept of serendipity itself, the sweet meaningful lyrics, Jimin’s delicate angelic vocals, the lofi production, and last but not least, the choreography, I can’t imagine Jimin releasing a song that I like more. Well, he’s Park Jimin so obviously he could, but I don’t think I’ll have the same emotional connection to it let’s just say.

Now the concept of Serendipity is also meaningful to me. The dictionary definition is as follows: the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way.

So how do Jimin and Serendipity connect with me? Let me explain.

For many of us, Jimin is our comfort person. I personally do not have a partner (not a pity party I don’t want to date anyone) but I do have close friends. And I have Jimin. So, when Jimin went off to MS, I knew I would lose those moments of Serendipty where he would surprise me with his goregous presence and soothing voice when I needed him. I’m talking about Weverse Lives here and formerly Vlives. We know in Jimin’s case that lives are planned and not at all spontaneous like Jungkook. And, we know last year these were few and far between. He’s usually at Hybe or in the car coming to and from work, so when these lives lined up with big moments in my life, it was true serendipity.

1. My “big girl” job interview. When I interviewed for a faculty position (current place of employment), I was extremely nervous. I was still in graduate school, hadn’t defended by PhD yet and had no idea what to expect. I woke up really early and when I started doing my make up, I got the notification on my phone that Jimin went live. It was a much needed confidence boost and what timing.

2. My actual PhD defense. A few months later, the same thing happened again. Morning of my PhD defense I was awake super early and putting my make up on and Jimin went live and I watched and listened to him talk the entire time I got ready. It was the good omen that I needed and serendipitous that the random time Jimin was live again was on the morning of my PhD defense.

3. This example was in 2021, but it still counts. I was with a friend at Disney and it was 1:00 am and she randomly got sick and was throwing up in the bathroom. I am petrified of throwing up. No, I’m not the friend that is going to hold your hair back; I’m going to have a panic attack instead. While this was happening, Jimin went live (I remember he was in the car) and listening to him and focusing on him really calmed me down.

In conclusion, Jimin has unknowingly supported me through some huge moments in my life. And it was especially hard coming to terms with him not being here this year. Fortunately, no major milestones should be happening this year for me, but it was always interesting seeing when we would get to see him. This was more cathartic for me to write than anything. But given how special Jimin is, I wouldn’t be surprised if he has serendipitously been there for you too.

Love Child — Never Meant To Be (1988-1993) (12XU)

Love Child brings the detuned roar of Dinosaur, the nervy agitation of the Feelies, the arch literacy of Pavement, the barbed sugar of the Throwing Muses, shifting sound and style from song to song. This compilation spans the brief career of the New York City noise-punk-lofi outfit, with cuts from a debut 7”, both early 1990s full-lengths and unreleased and radio tracks. It’s an absolute riot from start to finish, even if it’s hard to get a grip on what Love Child was at its core.

The band came together in the late 1980s, when Will Baum, Rebecca Odes and Alan Licht were still students at Vassar. Licht, of course, later made a name as a critic and noise-minimalist. His work with Love Child overlapped with Blue Humans and slightly preceded turns with Run On and the Pacific Ocean. His collaborations with Jandek and Loren Connors took place later, in the second half of the 1990s.

The earliest cuts here come from a 1990 single, the brash, ragged-bassed “Sofa” (memorialized here in Love Child’s only video) and the vaguely “Summertime Blues”-ish “Crocus” (with its indelible line, “My mom threw me out until I get some pants that fit/She just don’t approve of my strange kind of wit.” ) Both balance garage-rock minimalism with a bursts of noise. “Sofa” intersperses catchy, kicky girl-boy choruses with blasts of unfettered guitar squall.

The first full-length, Okay, came on Homestead in 1991. Its tracks take up a large portion of this compilation, which is fine because they bang pretty hard, especially the multi-voiced “Diane” and “Fortune Cookie” which blends the pure blasting amp noise of J. Mascis , the yelping angst of Television and the clanking post-punk bass sounds of, say, Gods Gift. But other cuts run towards jangle pop, notably “He’s So Sensitive” a lofi girl group garage rocker featuring Odes on lead vocal. The other album, Witchcraft, followed a year later, also on Homestead. It’s a bit smoother, a bit more melodic, a bit more reliant on Odes’ buzzy, dreamy vocals. “AAA/XXX” is almost dream pop, though sharp guitar slashes prop up the verse, while “Something Cruel” jangles lyrically for a seconds before cranking up to pogo speed.

Additional, previously unreleased material bookends the album. “Asking for It,” from a 1992 Peel Session comes first, layering bratty, confrontational punk on wild eruptions of near rockabilly guitar; an oozing, sludgy noise interval bisects the cut. “Greedy,” another song from the same session exults in feedback and loose harmonies, tough and vulnerable at the same time. There are also a couple of cuts from a KSPC show, including the dreaming, droning, guitar-led “All Is Loneliness” with its shades of VU. That track was recorded in 1993, near the end of this evanescent outfit’s run, and it hints at other directions that they might have taken if they had persisted. Still no use mourning what never happened. There’s plenty to celebrate here without it.

Coming Back

Chapter Three

A/n: FINALLY HERE BABY! Hello there! Sorry, it took away too long for me to post it. I had struggled to find a good plot or storyline to follow. No matter what I did, it didn't feel right, and I end up restarting. It happen about 3 times. But now i have a good storyline and how it would end. Then there was just Grammarly which gave me useless mistakes that change nothing! So to end this note with the usual. I am so sorry for any spelling and grammar errors.

Let's begin!

You wake up in a cold sweat, huffing and groggy. As you focused on your surroundings, you sighed. You were home, in your small apartment on top of your boutique. You took deep breaths, trying to calm yourself. “God. Another one of those dreams…” you said to yourself. Every night you had dreams about a family. Most were happy and lovely, but it always ended the same. Those cold blue eyes stared at you with emptiness. When trying to remember the girl and man, it becomes difficulted. “I need to see someone about this.” You said as you got changed and ready for work. Today you were meeting with a new client. Your assistant told you he seemed more interested in you than in the outfits. You were puzzled by what they meant by that but waved it off as nothing.

You walked out of the building with headphones in your ears and listened to a lofi music to wake up. ‘Man, I need to eat. Which place to go to?’ You thought about it and soon remembered a restaurant that your friend recommended. Pigsy Noodles. You searched for the address and walked till you saw the Pigsy noodle sign. As you walked and were greeted by a pig demon. “Welcome to Pigsy noodle! I’m Mk! What would you like to eat today?” A boy with a headband and yellow jacket popped in front of you. He startled you, but got over it and took a deep breath. Heard him apologize as you sat down. “It’s fine,” you said and looked at the menu. Everything looked amazing. You could not decide on what to eat. "Uh, this is my first time here. Is there a dish you would recommend?" You asked him. He smiled and said he'll be back. ‘I hope I made the right decision,’ You thought as you watched him talk to his boss.

You waited for a bit, scrolling through your phone and seeing what plan you had today. There wasn’t much but fixing clothing, the appointment, and cleaning up the store. It would be a long day. You didn’t notice a podium set up in the middle of the restaurant, and a man with a seemingly nice suit. Mk came with your bowl of Ramen and tasted the amazing noodles. As you ate, you looked up to see a person announcing that as the mayor, he was giving Mk being a hero the key to the city. You didn’t focus on what he was saying, but you were staring at him. He seemed familiar. You couldn’t tell, but your mind was sure you meet him before. As you finished and were about to get up and ask him a question, in a blink of an eye, he vanished. “What happened to the mayor?” You said and a girl with a green dragon jacket responded. “I don’t think that’s the mayor, and he disappears in an instant, leaving in a blue cloud of smoke.” You felt defeated because you wanted to talk to him. Even if he didn’t seem normal to the other people there. “Damn.” You said under you breathe.

You paid for your food and told Mk his choice of noodles was amazing. You mentally planned on coming back in hoping to meet that mayor guy. You walked back to your store to open, getting ready to meet your new client. As you cleaned up, you saw outside and how seeing an odd shadow coming from the tinted window. They looked so large and had so many muscles. ‘They looked well built,’ You thought before they entered and saw an average person. You were so confused but shook it off as still being tired. A man with blackish-grey hair with a horizontal light blue streak walked into your store. He wore a black suit with blue stripes on the jacket, a blue shirt, and a dark blue tie.

When you met his eyes, you realized it was the mayor from earlier. “Hello there! You must be the new client my assistant told me about.” you smiled as you looked into the planner and saw the name it was on. Trying to keep your cool and acting like you never saw him.”Your name is Chief, right?" You look at him. He grins and nods. “Yes, that would be me, my dear!” He said and extended his hand to shake yours, “And you must be the stunning and talented (Y/n)! I have heard a lot about your clothing.”

You heard him say as you shook his hand and another wave of déjà vu hits you. You held on to his hand longer. Your fingers creased his. You didn’t realize you were staring before he snapped you out of it.

“I know. I am quite handsome.” He chuckled as you let go of his hand. You felt embarrassed and said, “I’m so sorry for staring off into space!” “Oh, don’t worry, my dear! I’m here looking for a better suit. I had to one for what feels like centuries!” He laughed it off and showed his suit. It had small holes and even a sleeve becoming undone. “Don’t worry, we have many suites ready to go, or if you like, I can make a custom one tailored to you.” You smiled.

“Hmmm, I would love a new one tailored to me!” He exclaimed. “Alright, I will have one of my associates take you to measure-“ you explained how it would happen, but he stopped you. “But, I want a hand made by you and you alone!” He exclaimed. His request surprised you. “Um, if you don’t have an issue with it?” You agreed. Soon you felt strong arms around you as he hugged you. How buff was this man, you thought! You felt your face heating up.

“Well, let’s get to work!” Smiled as he twirled you around. “Okay, but please can you put me down?” you said, looking away, not wanting him to see your bashful face. He placed you down carefully as if you were made of porcelain. “I’m sorry, I am just excited,” he laughed. “It’s alright. I’ll take you to the back to get the measurements.” You said as you showed him the back of the boutique and stand in front of three mirrors.

A while in and you talked to him about the color and patterns he wanted. You took out the measuring tape and placed it around his arms, legs, waist, and chest. It was quiet, too quiet. You wanted to say something, but nothing came out. What you didn’t know, his eyes were on you and only you, even as you wrote down measurements.”Uh, Mister Chief?" You said softly, catching his attention. “Yes, my dear?” He said in a sweet voice.

“Have we met before?” You said, he responded quickly. “Why yes, of course! In the noodle restaurant! I saw you there, and you looked adorable.” You felt your face redden from embarrassment. Did you not notice him looking at you? You shook your head and said, “I know I saw you there, but I mean somewhere else? Cause it feels like I have met you and know you.” You scratch your neck in nervousness. “I don’t know. Maybe, I’m too tired.” You chuckled in the hope the awkwardness would disappear.

“Maybe, in another life. Maybe we had met or even fallen for each other.” He explained. “Do you believe in a past life, miss (Y/n)?” He asked after getting closer to you. It went unnoticed as you write small notes and details to add to the suite. “maybe, I mean, I do believe in soul mates as well. But it’s just hoping and probably not true.” You sadly grinned because you wanted to believe in it so badly. You turned around to see him smiling in the same place he was standing for his measurements. “well, I got it down. Now you would have to wait for a while. But we can sell/rent you suits if you have any upcoming occasions.” You gave a soft smile as he nodded in agreement.

“I do have a celebration coming up. Mind showing me your best and favorite suits?” He asked you. You thought for a moment and got out three suits of different shades of blue. “I hope these outfits are good enough to wear.” You grinned at him. One suit caught his eyes. “I think I found the one. It looks well made.” He said as you looked at it. It looked like his original outfit. He went to a changing room and came out looking more handsome. He wore a black suit with blue stripes on the jacket, a light blue shirt, and a dark blue tie. “This is perfect!” He exclaimed and turned to you. “How much would it be to buy it?” He asked you, and you were awed by how he looked in it. You mentally slapped yourself back to reality before he noticed you staring again.

“Well, with this and everything else, it would be $1,500. For the handmade suit, it’s half up front.” You said it and are about to tell him the price. But out of nowhere, he just handed you a brick of cash! “Awe, would it be alright if I pay it all upfront? I do trust you and your skillful hands.” He said as he gently grabbed your hand and kissed it. You were becoming a blushing mess and almost fainted. “Um, are you sure? You just met me?” You say, avoiding his eyes a bit. But his hand met your cheek and made you look at him.

“I know, but maybe we did meet in another life.” He said as he let go of your cheek when your assistant finally came to the store. “Hey (Y/n)! I need some help with inventor-Am I interrupting something?” You snapped back to reality. You were about to say something the mayor beat you to it. “No, I was paying for these lovely clothes and asking (Y/n) for her contacts. I want to know if something happens to the suits or her.” He coolly said, as if he didn’t turn you into a blushing mess. You nodded your head. “Yup! That is it! I’ll be with you (A/n). Just need to finish this up.” You laughed nervously as your assistant looked confused but shrugged it off.

“I hope we can meet again. Maybe somewhere more peaceful and quiet.” He said as he handed a small black and blue card with his contact information. You took it and gave him yours. He smiled and did a bow before leaving the store. “Miss (Y/n).” He said midway through the door. “If you are in trouble, please do not hesitate to contact me.” He turned to you with a sickeningly sweet smile. You nodded and said goodbye as he soon disappeared as he did in the restaurant.

Your mind broke whatever charm you were on. You blinked a few times before screaming at yourself.

“WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!”

ok so i will level with you besties i have not voted i don’t know what to vote for i am a swing voter in this one. anything can happen. my thoughts are. i know sit down ~&~ we talk chair is cringe. but i like it. it looks like something that would be on the cover of a shitty lofi indie album i would listen to. i think it probably does deserve most cringe for that very reason, it’s more fake deep and edgelord and like. he really thought he was doing something. but on the other hand, i also just noticed it looks like it’s a rocking chair? and the idea of getting tortured in a rocking chair is SO funny. even more funny is the idea of getting tortured in a rolly office chair and the guy torturing you has an edgy tattoo about a torture chair that looks like one of the rocking chairs outside a cracker barrel. to me that is camp. i also just noticed the little wavy lines on the outside of the ampersand. it’s not “sit down & we talk” it’s “sit down ~&~ we talk.” there is a certain level of whimsy to it, a tonal dissonance that is inherently comical. a grown man formatting his ~~torture~~ tattoo like a teen girl’s myspace username. i really think the camp value cannot be overstated on this one.

on the other hand, there’s “EDEN GATE” knuckle tats which are just objectively so dumb. as many have pointed out, it’s dumb enough he got knuckle tats at all. add to that the nonsensical spelling alteration. EDEN’S GATE didn’t fit, but he got it anyways. EDEN GATE. that’s close enough, right? it makes absolutely no sense. even funnier to imagine separately. “EDEN” hand and “GATE” hand. you see one hand and with strenuous effort finally make out the nearly illegible font that says EDEN. what could the other hand say? GATE. what the fuck does that mean. EDENGATE? like watergate? oh, no, he would explain there’s actually no such thing — it’s EDEN’S GATE. it didn’t fit, but he made it work. it’s so blatantly dumb, so poorly done and openly tacky, so… yeah, you know what i’m going to say here. it’s camp.

basically i’m open to arguments on this one.

🎶 🍦 👀

🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?

I do! Normally Lofi girl 24/7, but sometimes I listen to a sci-fi music compilation or, on occasion, the soundtrack of the show/movie itself if there's a long playlist. For example, for some of my Cobra Kai fics I used to listen to the soundtrack for Karate Kid II, which usually gets me through a writing session.

🍦 What's the sweetest fic you've created so far?

Listen, it's impossible to choose one given how many flufftobers I've written, but my favourite of my recent series has to be a part of you, my Klapollo clothes-sharing fic because 1) it was my first ever Klapollo fic and 2) I now get why this is a trope because characters sharing clothes is, in fact, freaking adorable.

👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!

Taking this chance to gush about my Aquafam AU which I've now started, but the idea's been kicking around since I saw Aquaman 1 five years ago. It starts a few months after the events of the first film - Orm's been trying to make amends and has been working on building a relationship with his brother, and Arthur suggests that to understand the surface he ought to live on the surface, just for a bit, so Orm ends up staying at the lighthouse (and doesn't catch on that Arthur was partly doing this to spend time with all his family together). And he ends up meeting one fifteen-year-old Maia Curry, Arthur's cousin who already knows all about him and Atlanna and - it's revealed - already considers them both family.

There isn't really a plot at the moment - it's mostly going to focus on family bonding, especially between Arthur and Orm and Maia, and it's hopefully going to be humourous and fluffy (though, from experience, you never quite know how a story will turn out). I've got AU in the temporary title after I first saw the sequel's trailer and realised none of that was going to happen since they apparently just...left Orm in prison. I've not yet seen the sequel so I'm trying my best to hold off on judgement but I'm side-eying this, considering the first film ended with Arthur saying 'we'll talk' and implied things would soon be sorted out when apparently they weren't.

Luckily, I get to disregard this 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Act 3 =>

💚💚💚 JADE HARLEY 💚💚💚

Manic pixie dream girl syndrome wouldn’t dare go near this silly girl. She knows what the fuck she’s doing!!

Becquerel is such a raw name for a dog. No wonder Bec is so fucking powerful.

Now hang on just one second. Of course I remember Bec has some wildly OP stats and ultimately has an enormous role to play, along with a certain cat of similar description. But with the name and irradiated food I’m piecing subtext together I never did in high school. So like…did someone toss this dog in a vat of radioactive sludge shitty comic book hero style? (I tried to find a gif of that scene from Sky High where the dad goes “Where would we even find a vat of toxic waste?” for wayy too long and couldn’t find one but I’m too lazy to make it myself so pretend I made a cute lil joke and move on).

Seriously though where does this thing originate? Is it ever explained? Don’t answer that.

I do like my knee-jerk reaction that Bec possesses radioactive powers because of the name alone, though, the implications are hilarious. My cats are named Kenma, after the Haikyuu character, and Monkey D Luffy, after the idiot. They reflect their namesakes well. Should have named one Tesla. The unit, not the dude.

While I’m on a brief tangent away from the storyline let me add how deeply I appreciate everyone who helped put together the Unofficial Homestuck Collection! I’m reminded of the work and passion that went into this project once again at the original format and poll statistics can be viewed on the decision for Jade’s symbol on her shirt! Dress..lab coat. Clothing! One of many really cool pieces of early HS fandom interaction I’m infinitely glad isn’t lost.

And getting back to the comic at hand, Jade is a furry who ends up a real anthropomorphic individual and I love that for her.

The 8 ball and cue ball in her chest (of the treasure variety) made me flinch, though. For no particular reason, of course. Why would I even say that?

[S] Jade: Open FreshJamz!

Dave would have been an extremely popular vaporwave artist and you know it. He’d have an extremely successful and elaborate lofi channel like lofi girl, steezyasfuck, chill village, etc. (NEW) Explore Remix and Crystalthemums are too fucking good. Especially for a 13 year old!

Jesus fucking christ. This is where she’s getting her information on John? And everyone else?

[S] MIDNIGHT CREW: ACT 1031

Hello???

[S] Dave: STRIFE.

HELLO???!?!?!?!!?

[S] Jade: Descend.

Is this just going to keep happening?! I say this with somewhat delirious glee, don’t get me wrong this RULES- it’s just all jumbled together.

…which is a really good description of how I view HS altogether tbh.

Jade: Answer.

HI AGAIN, IDIOT. <3 <3 <3 <3

For most characters in HS that start a shitty kid and end up with an immense amount of growth later on I will state that I give their shitty actions no leniency. A character needs to be shit on for their fuck ups in order to succeed at growth!

However Karkat is an exception. Vriska did nothing wrong? More like Karkat could never do anything bad ever he’s perfect and I love him. He is doing his best!!! He is always doing his best!! He is trying to save everyone all the time!! Ahhhh!!!!

[S] Dave: Abscond.

Whoop, there it is. Ugh. I have a similar relationship with this flash animation as I did playing Undertale for the first time, and honestly I think I have Undertale to thank for my paradigm shift. I was almost completely detached from genuine reaction and evaluation of media in high school and focused almost entirely on reflecting the thoughts and emotions of my peers around me. It didn’t even occur to me, shallow as my views on media were, to genuinely observe Dave’s stubby little sprite and what happens to him in his attempt to flee his Bro’s onslaught. And dude :c Dave gets beat the fuck up. It’s hard to watch, the humor overtones are appreciated to soften the blow so to speak, but it still sucks to think it takes so long for Dave to realize how wrong this dynamic really is, and even longer for him to work through the complicated feelings and thoughts that come along with a realization like that. I digress, I guess.

[S] Rose: Ascend.

Love you Nanaquin <3

Grist, Shale, Tar, and Mercury. I want to parse this out, why these materials specifically? My initial curiosity comes from being a geologist. Tar and shale form together naturally. In many shale formations there are also mercury deposits, usually pointed out on geological survey websites for public safety reasons (at least in the U.S. where I live this is commonplace). While all those things make sense together to me, I don’t understand why they are being used in the first place. And grist is just a byproduct of milling grain, right?

Matter that forms the basis of a story or analysis. A building block material for a concept. That makes way more sense. I’m pretty sure I heard this definition from Tex Talks on youtube first, who has a series of video essays on Homestuck processes and mechanics. If you haven’t seen them I recommend those videos, they are the kind of in-depth that I like to pretend I could go in conversation about HS, as long as you don’t mind the topics being chosen based purely on individual interest. I certainly don’t.

Anyway grist is a conceptual building block, used to build concepts through the alchemiter and general server side shenanigans. This makes a lot of sense to me having seen an enormous amount of grist being needed for more complicated but physically small items, while very little is needed to build an entire house.

What about the other materials? I don’t know! I did some research and dug around and honestly I don’t get it. Please shoot me a message if you’ve heard it explained in a forum, blog or video essay somewhere, I’m really interested to know if anyone else has found more answers than me! Especially if it pertains to something revealed later in the comic that I haven’t gotten to yet

Liberty. Reason. Justice. Civility. Edification. Perfection.

MAIL.

[S] Strife!!!

Uhh sooo ummm is Jade okay? *gets adoption papers ready*

I guess I straight up forgot how she talks to her gpa. I remembered that he was, like, stuffed. But all the antics, forgot about that. He died during her lifetime right? She remembers him and how he was and this is her coping with all that? Did she,, stuff him herself? Preserve him? Hm.

Moving on, back to PM.

WORM!!

Back to Rose.

KITTEN!!

Okay so they’re setting up the idea that Mamalonde’s lab is the same we’re seeing the Mayor and PM interact with later, got it. Way easier to comprehend this time around vs. as a small teen.

Uncooperative?

Right, of course. I knew that, as I always do. This was just for you.

[S] Rose: Fast forward to now.

BABY ROSE <3 And same face as surprised Dave! Ugghh she’s so cute. What does Jaspers tell her?? We must find out at some point but I have absolute zero recollection of this as a plot point. I’ll keep an eye out!!

Aah, chorale for Jaspers. I remember this meme’d, I also remember playing it for my cat to get a reaction. She did not react.

Skipping ahead some more, John is having his first Father Crisis [dad is not a street performing clown but a boring business man?? Who could have guessed that??]

No shade to Dad though, obviously. Dude kicks ass.

We also briefly see Jade wandering out to feed Bec if the creechure so deems to be found and fed with aforementioned radioactive food. So does a dog(?) with radioactive powers eat radioactive food to fuel it’s life force of radioactivity? Is that the logic we’re working with? I’m not knocking it I just want to be sure that’s…that’s the line of thought. Andrew Hussie. Genius.

Ending it here because we’re got Jack Noir coming up and I want to dedicate a good amount of thought to that. Once again, I have a few posts queued still, so expect another one a week from today. Ily!

tl;dr

Jade Harley = Furry and I support her. Appreciation of Dave’s artistic ability some more. Karkat blocked by Jade, Kells being protective of Dave. Discussion of grist use and origin. PM. Jade’s Grandpa. Baby Rose.

@noctisfishing Okay! You ready? 1 - What music do you listen to while writing? (🎶) 2 - Funniest comment you got on a fic? (😂) 3 - There’s a fire and you only have time to save one of your fics! The rest are lost forever! Which one do you save? (📌)

Hi Leo! :D

What music do you listen to while writing? (🎶)

If a song inspires me to write a fic, or if it happens to fit the mood of a scene that I’m writing, that song will play on repeat. I will not be surprised if “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved” by The Script is in my Spotify Unwrapped thing this year, lol.

Otherwise, lately I have been gravitating toward lofi beats. I’m currently exploring the offerings on Spotify but my go-to youtube channel is “Lofi Girl” (formerly Chilled Cow).

Sometimes, I don’t listen to music at all and I just write! As long as I’m not bothered by the outside noises.

Funniest comment you got on a fic? (😂)

Since this was asked previously, I’ll share another comment!

This was also for Colors in Autumn. After I wrote a chapter that ended with a steamy scene, I got a comment that said “I AM MELTING ON MY BUS SEAT”

If they read this, I hope they know that that is one of my favorite comments. <3

I've answered the last one in a previous post, but thank you again for keeping me entertained in answering these questions!

Send me a Fanfic Ask

11 12 13 15 and 53 just for fun.

Ask game.

-🌲

ohhhh spruce my beloved these are SUCH fun questions

11. Do you write scenes in order, or do you jump around?

I always write in order. Like, 99.8% of the time I will only write in order. that's because if I write the scenes I want to write the most ahead of time, I'm not gonna have any motivation to actually write the in between stuff. plus, it feels more natural to actually build up to those major scenes even from a behind the scenes standpoint. it makes the emotional payoff of writing those dramatic moments soooo much better

12. Do you outline your fics? If yes, how detailed are your outlines? How far do you stray from them?

Tricky question, the answer is both yes and kind of no? I do outline my fics yes, but depending on the story it's not very detailed. for my shorter stories like vanderlyle or under the brine, I know I can finish those quickly so I usually outline just bullet notes with the plot beats I know I need to hit, and I use that as a guideline while I write. as for my longer stuff like stars or clinic or forgetting, when I start writing those I know the overarching story and I know where I want to end it. however, when it comes to the stuff in the middle, I kind of plot it as I go along? I'll usually plot about 2-3 chapters ahead of time with the same vague bullet note plot beats i described, but that's mostly it. also, I do stray from the outline a lot! not necessarily by deviating from what I planned, but more just adding stuff in as I go. an example of this is in stars chapter 12, the fight with tommy in the beginning of the chapter literally wasn't in my outline for that chapter at all. it just kind of happened as the characters were talking, so I let the flow carry me which is what happens with a lot of conversations or arguments I write. it's always so satisfying when an argument pops up and it just flows on its own

13. Do you listen to music while you write? If yes, what have you been listening to recently?

Yes I do! Most of the time I listen to instrumental tracks while I write because stuff with lyrics can be distracting, although sometimes if I'm in a really focused mood I can listen to lyrical music. for honey and tangerines, I tend to listen to the actual playlist I link at the end of every chapter for that one while I write it, but if I need to focus I usually just pull up that really popular lofi beats spotify playlist that updates every day

now for stars, I rarely listen to lyrical music while I write that because I really need to focus on every detail and line of dialogue I write. so I have two main instrumental things I hop between when writing that one. if I'm writing stars, I'm always either listening to this ambient album (also listened to it a lot while writing creation myth, it's genuinely just gorgeous) or I listen to this if I need a change of pace. I don't do this as much anymore because it was really fucking with my spotify wrapped, but when I was writing forgetting if I wasn't listening to the playlist I would link at the end of chapters and I wanted instrumental stuff instead, I would listen to movie soundtracks a lot! it was usually either the soundtrack for the social network, or the soundtrack for gone girl. trent reznor and atticus ross were the composers for both those soundtracks, and I love their soundtrack work in films so so much. like, of course hans zimmer is super well known for his soundtrack work (and his work IS amazing), but trent reznor and atticus ross are literally so fucking good at what they do their soundtracks are so cool and have so many unique elements in them

15. What’s your favorite time to write?

ooo this one really depends on how busy i am + where my head is at. I'd say most of the time I like writing in early to late afternoon. even tho I wake up at a pretty good time (usually around 8:30 or 9), my brain doesn't start properly working till around 11 or 12 usually, so morning writing isn't super common for me. I used to like writing at night a lot (like from 9-11 or midnight usually), but lately I've been having way more trouble focusing at night for some reason, so I haven't been doing it as much

53. What is the most-used tag on your ao3?

oh this is a fun one let's see

...yeah ok that tracks

I Like a Lot of Aesthetics,

I wrote this on June 13, 2023 at around 23:41 my local time. For some reason, it stayed in Keep and never got posted, even though I say I like how I wrote it every time. So here you go now, enjoy!

Right now, I like cool-colored neon and synthwave. It's so dreamy and reminds me of "Lavender Haze" by Taylor Swift, and everything else from her album Midnights. It reminds me of stars and the dark and a much needed silence in the world at 2am. They sound like sparkly, twinkling ideas and I feel like strutting amongst them like spotlights on a big concert stage, and I feel like flying up.

Sometimes, I do feel like lofi and rainy days. Not necessarily warm colors, but low-saturated ones that put me to sleep kinda does the thing. It's all about sitting by a window bobbing your head up and down and getting lost in daydreams underneath the blanket you carried over on your shoulders. Maybe it screams lazy energy or that of a slow, calm day---not necessarily productive, but why not try to be while everything's paced nicely.

Other times, I feel pastel and dream pop---pink cloudy skies and Blue Neighbourhood by Troye Sivan. They are days spent playfully in a world of melted cotton candy and never-ending sunsets. Everything feels light and in flight, including me except, well, I've never been high. And it's when you feel so fluffy you could lay on a giant powdery fur and stay there forever.

This doesn't mean I never feel glittery, though. Of course I still do! Sometimes, pop makes you feel like the prettiest girl in the room and when that happens to me, I make sure my gestures show that I'm the prettiest girl to walk down this street today. I may look a little shy from time to time, but that's part of acting like a cutie. Deep down, I'm confident I look nice and that confidence will take a verbal criticism to put down. It doesn't have to be an actual fit of glitters, you just have to feel like you're glimmering under the sun like the winks of an idol.

On select occassions, I'd also feel hot. And by hot, I mean all eyes on me kinda thing. It makes me uncomfortable most of the times, I'm not gonna lie, but for times when it doesn't I do kinda feel like I'm dressed up for revenge. It's all about black and electronic music with a hint of trap, hiphop, or dance, which reminds me a lot of All Out by K/DA. It's like badass neon and powerful but teasing movements, the exact opposite of miss lazy lofi.

Another favorite vibe I have is guitar heavy and good hair days. Is it acoustic swaying with the wind to teach it how to dance? Or is it electric trying at the top of my lungs? I haven't played guitar in ages but I will never forget how it made me feel that one time I played my song onstage and feeling it while also nervous. And it's not like I don't know what it must feel like when I see people enjoy it on their own stages. It can be so alive that it physically tires me, but it can also be just sitting on a chair feeling the feels. I just love it.

The rarest of them all is ethereal and theatrical, because this is something I'm not usually fond of. But when it does happen, it's attempting to act like an angel. I say attempting because, why would I be cast as an angel with a voice like... this? Anyway, it feels more divine than royal, more white than gold, more cherry blossoms falling than freshly bloomed lavender bushes. The feeling of flying is because you have wings, not because the wind is taking you. It's trying really hard to act like you're on top of the world when in reality, you're just a smol bean among 8 billion more beans.

I must admit, there are moments that I can't associate with colors or aesthetic. Just the warmth of the feeling along with the smile that escaped. A little like warm, creamy coffee that makes you melt on your seat. Although sometimes it's more like a push of a button, that of a sudden flush of serotonin, that automatically raises both sides of my lips, narrows my eyes like the happiest kid in town, and commands me to twirl and skip around like a princess in a musical movie--a little like title track Fearless by Taylor Swift, which is by far the sole song of hers that makes me feel this way.

I like a lot of aesthetics and genres. I am not a master nor a jack of all trades; I'm just a mosaic of all the things that I chose and allowed to define me. To most people, it's a bunch of belief systems and physical evidences. To me, it's what paints everyone's eyes colorful and everyone's ears harmonious.
