Hey it's a project I'm working on with some Reddit friends for fun! We'd love your participation and support. 💜

The official 2023 BTS ARMY Education and Industry Survey

Hello and happy new year, ARMY!

Some of you may recall a previous post where people were asked who they biased and what they did for a living and compiled the results of the informal poll. Well, we’re back to bring you the full 2023 BTS ARMY Education and Industry Survey.

The goal of this survey is to zoom in on working-age ARMY and get a sense of what people are doing in terms of education and careers. We want to see if there are any notable patterns in the fandom when it comes to this topic. This is our first project as the BTS ARMY Research group, a fan project aimed at gaining a better understanding of the ARMY community and how we can continue to support one another.

There is an informed consent at the beginning, but as an overview:

You will be asked questions about your work and educational status. This includes hours, salary, industry sector, job title, job satisfaction, and prior history. There will also be some basic demographic questions. You will NOT be asked to provide any personally identifying information, such as name, contacts, specific location, school or employer, or documentation.

You will also be asked about your habits and feelings around BTS. This includes fandom engagement, spending habits, the influence of BTS in your life, and a ranking of your biases. Once again, we will not ask for any identifying information. We also won’t be asking about other artists or fandoms.

With the exception of a couple questions, the entire survey is voluntary. This means you are free to skip any questions or exit the survey anytime. If you’d like to withdraw your answers after submitting, we’ve provided our contact information in the form.

To take part in the survey, you must meet the following criteria:

Being legally able to work in your country or jurisdiction, with or without restrictions. You don’t necessarily have to be working or in school at the moment—your answers are still valuable to us. If you’re unsure, there’s a PDF of legal working ages around the world attached to the consent.

Having sufficient English reading and writing ability.

Answering the questions as honestly and accurately as you can. Individual responses won’t be published or tied back to you—only the aggregate.

The end of the survey also includes a list of resources for education, career, labor laws, and mental health if you need any of those.We anticipate the results to be published in summer of 2023. The exact date is still TBA, but we will continue to provide updates on Twitter, Tumblr, and our website.

they are so hotttttttt 😭 (for anon ♡)

Hello! Just wondering if anyone ever found the link/file of the first installment of Vesemir & Sons?

And also, could you direct me to where I might find your published version? Congratulations on that btw!

I can't believe I forgot to post it! Yes, @ghostinthelibrarywrites was kind enough to send it to me. The PDF can be downloaded here!

I started a new job that has really consumed a lot of my time, and my tumblr use and fic time has suffered 😆.

Here's the Amazon link, but seriously don't feel obligated - writing's a hobby, not my livelihood, so I've not worried about selling copies, tbh. I'm still working on my original work that I'll eventually try to do a more serious publication route with. If I can stop scrapping and rewriting!

Hey what happened to the first fic from vesmir and sons private investigators? it’s the one that’s geraltlxjaskier I was trying to reread it and all I found was the lambertxadian one which is great but I was just wondering?

Hi there!

It was actually pulled, scrubbed, and published. I downloaded it and saved the file, but I just looked through my Drive and can't find it anywhere. 😩 If someone sees this who has the pdf saved, I hope they'll reply to this post with the download link. I kind of regret doing the thing. I mean, it's nice to know I can get it published, but I have a lot of feelings about whether or not it was the right thing to do with the story. Sigh.

Hopefully someone shares it, and if I find it, I'll respond again with the link/file.

[agentlewomanandascholar]

I’m here to let you know that you needed Babylon 5’s Londo and G'Kar drawn like Lisa Frank, because The 90’s.  (Even more Lisa Frank than the last time I did something like this two years ago!)

I hope you guys like this as much as I loved doing it~

[agentlewomanandascholar]

DEFINITELY wait for it!

Hugging Nathan

[agentlewomanandascholar]

the saga of my mom’s spiral back into figure skating

If anyone needs a spirit lift, here’s a list of things my mom has done since the Olympics started:

has sat down to breakfast every morning armed with her giant mug and the latest and greatest figure skating gossip; never one without the other

mandatory reminiscence about the days of Kristi Yamaguchi, the GOAT residing in her heart

mandatory comparison of every skater to Kristi, regardless of discipline (and no, your fav will never match up to her)

in the fashion of a seasoned figure skating fan, calls the judges dumb but still gets really excited when someone she likes gets good scores

she actually likes everyone because they’re all precious babies

every time she sees an Asian athlete, she goes into Asian mom mode and unfailingly says: 太乖了太乖了 = “such a sweet/good [child]” x2

clicks on every headline involving either Yuzuru Hanyu or Nathan Chen

pronounces Yuzuru’s name as “Yuzuzu”

researched Yuzuzu on the almighty Wikipedia and determined that his height and age are optimal. Optimal for what, you might ask:

based on the above information, determined that Yuzuzu would make the perfect son-in-law for her painfully single daughter (AKA me) and suggested that I take a plane to Japan and propose marriage to him, after which he would apparently marry into my family and I would raise him on my graphic designer salary plus benefits

if the proposal is a failure, the backup plan is finding a man of his likeness on a dating app via a succinct bio: “If you are similar to Yuzuru Hanyu, I will consider you”

was dismayed to find that all the fellow moms in her group chat also want him as a son-in-law, hence she reluctantly told me that she’s giving up on the idea (she has not given up, if her continuous lamenting about the competition is any indication)

thinks Keegan Messing is the funniest man alive after his whole travel debacle. My mom is the type who would find it hysterical if you fell down the stairs (as long as you’re okay)

we were all discussing skaters’ height during Nathan’s free and she recited his height instantaneously. I do not know when she looked it up or how she remembered it because she tends to forget trivia the moment she learns it

also looked up Shoma Uno’s and Yuma Kagiyama’s heights and found bragging rights in that she is taller than them (she isn’t)

casually researched Nathan’s background and stalked discovered his dad’s LinkedIn page. My only justification for this is that she has the mentality of a sociable businesswoman

asked if Nathan is from California. When told he is from Utah, asked if he is Mormon

apparently the mom group chat also partakes in just as much angry discourse about Yuzuzu vs. Nathan as Twitter. Basically, no one can escape from this timeline

I am 100% certain that the only reason she has not suggested me taking a plane to Utah to propose marriage to Nathan is because he is younger than me. You have been spared, Nathan. Yuzuzu, though, get ready

so far has ended every event asking me what I’m good at and why I’m not as good at anything as the skaters are at skating

This is only after watching the men’s discipline. I fear that this is only the beginning.

Btw I haven't been updating bc I'm working on an original fantasy manuscript that I'm on the third rewrite of that's set in a fully built world with a whole magic system sort of like D&D but with Druids who can do blood sacrifices and an ensemble cast like Six of Crows and if anyone wants to be a beta reader for it let me know the last version was 96k and I'm 38k into this rewrite but it'll probs end up about 110 I think and I'm trying to write a nautical battle with deck mages currently and it's hard so I'm on tumblr instead.

Goal: something between Grisha and Witcher with some Tomb Raider thrown in for funsies. 5 MCs: overpowered mage with baggage, his himbo bestie who is broody and hates himself, druid who likes food and is too smart for her own good, chaotic bi thief with a loud mouth, and his exceedingly competent sister who is sick of being the mom friend and just wants to get a flat and maybe a dog.

Also cold war metaphors because I was born in the 80s.
