I had a dream once that Chan was in cosmetology school and was braiding hair

My dreams about Stray Kids are like fanfictions at this point. Just felt like sharing.

Just this afternoon I had woken up from my latest dream. It was so vivid like I was in a laboratory and due to the toxicity of the place because of harmful chemicals we were told to stay away from the premises.

Anyways Chan and I somehow got in to the place, looking exactly like the picture below.

And we were together in one of the rooms just him and me, dancing to some music 😳.

He stood in front of me at first and then in a flash he was sitting on top of a table, his feet swinging mid air and he pulled me closer to him by the shoulder and was like "hey stand here" as in right in front of his face. 😳🫣

I mean his face and mine were mere inches apart and I was standing in the space between his legs 🫣 and we were just staring at each other , and the way he pulled me closer 😵‍💫 with his arms on display 😭🙈 .

I think I couldn't handle the proximity because I woke up suddenly after that happened in the dream .. I was wide eyed when I woke up 🫣. I was disappointed that I even woke up 🥲🤭. Don't know where the dream would've gone if I kept sleeping haha. Christopher why you wildin' like this so casually in my dreams ugh ?? 🫣

A/N : Do share any dream that you've had if you like to. You can find my masterlist here.

Days passed since your argument and you hadn't gone back to the apartment. You'd been crashing at a friend's place, needing time and space to cool down. Lee Know, on the other hand, started to realize the gravity of his mistake and how much he had messed up.

He hadn’t expected you to just up and leave, leaving him alone in the apartment. He also hadn't considered the fact that you might not come back anytime soon. His initial indifference was gradually replaced by a feeling of regret. He had stood you up, ignored your texts, and then called you clingy. The more he thought about it, the more it dawned on him how much he had screwed up.

Each day that passed, the more he longed to see you, to apologize and make it up to you somehow. And so, after a few days of stewing in his thoughts, he decided to make the first move. He sent you a text.

The text read: 'Can we talk? I messed up and I'm sorry. Please come back.'

You stared at the screen of your phone contemplating whether to respond or not. Your anger was still fresh, but the pang in your heart wouldn’t go away. After debating for a while you decided to type a simple reply.

'Alright, we can talk.'

Your short response surprised Lee Know. He hadn't expected you to agree to meet so easily but his heart slightly leaped with hope. Immediately he texted back.

'Can you come back home? I want to apologize in person.'

‘Ok.’

Lee Know’s anxiety spiked at your simple 'Ok’. Did that mean you'd come back? He waited anxiously for your arrival, pacing around the apartment. He hadn't seen you in days and it was eating him up inside.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the sound of the apartment door opening grabbed his attention and he turned to see you walk in. Your expression was neutral and your eyes were slightly puffy. You avoided eye contact with him, closing the door behind you. A tense silence hung in the air as neither of you knew how to start the conversation. But after a few moments, Lee Know spoke up, his voice laced with remorse, "I'm sorry," he took a few steps forward, still maintaining a small distance between you two. With an apologetic look, he continued, "I shouldn't have stood you up and called you clingy a brat. God, I don’t even know why I said that. I should've been there for our anniversary and I'm sorry I ruined it. I hadn’t realized I hurt you so much."

You remained silent for a while, finally meeting his gaze. He looked genuinely apologetic, his eyes showing genuine remorse. He wanted to come closer and hug you, but he was hesitant, not sure how you would react. He knew he had caused the damage and now he didn't know how to fix it. You let out a shaky exhale, “You really hurt me min…”

Lee Know looked at you, his face a mix of guilt and sadness. As you spoke, his heart felt heavy.

"I know I hurt you, I made a mistake and I'm so sorry.”

"I promise I'll make it up to you," he said softly. That day was a big day for us, and because of my selfishness, I ruined it. I was thoughtless, and I'm sorry.”

He looked at you, his eyes expressing his remorse. He took another step towards you. "I'm sorry. Do you," he hesitated for a moment, "Do you want to break up?"

Lee Know asked nervously, dreading the answer he might get, but he needed to ask, he knew what he did and said was wrong and unforgivable.

“What? No,” you say almost instantly, looking up at him, surprised he would even think that you know the argument was pretty bad and there were words that shouldn’t have been said but it was nothing that couldn't be talked out, and it was not bad enough to throw away a 2-year relationship, though if he hadn’t apologized it would have definitely been over.

He hesitantly closed the distance between you, carefully bringing his arms around you in a gentle embrace. He knew this wasn't enough to win you over but he wanted to feel your presence closer.

"I'm sorry," he repeated as he hugged you, feeling the weight of his mistake.

And he truly meant it. He wanted to fix this, to make things right. He knew it wouldn't be easy but he was ready to try. The thought of losing you had scared him and he realized that he needed to put more effort into being a better boyfriend.

“I know…” you whisper

Lee Know held onto you, not wanting to let go. He knew sorry wasn't enough, he knew he needed to prove it through his actions.

"I love you," he said softly. "Please don't leave me."

“I'm not… I won't…” You say softly, sniffling and trying to wipe your eyes

Your words provided him with some relief, a weight lifted off his shoulders.

"Thank you,” he said softly, letting go to examine your expression. He reached up gently, wiping away the last traces of tears from your cheeks. "I promise I won't mess up like that again.”

"I'll do better," he added. "I'll prioritize you more and make sure we communicate better."

He kept his arms around you, still afraid to let go. He wanted to savor this moment of having you close after days of missing it so badly. You two stay like that for a while before you playfully pinch his side, “You owe me dinner.”

what do you mean, seungmin is a tiny little thing (Im several inches shorter than him)

i'm giggling at them giving the second tallest member the lyric "People think I'm big but I'm small"

[apple-kiwi]

Idk if this helps you anyway but maybe you don’t have to do a happy happy ending for Lee Know, like seeing how it ended then it could be like an open hopeful ending??? Like after massive grovelling, they talk and feel emotions and Y/n gives him a chance to fight for her to continue being in his life, a chance to earn her trust back?? or smth

This is what I was thinking of doing but I haven't decided yet

[apple-kiwi]

Hi, let’s talk about reblogs, again. 

If you don’t want to hear about it again, just scroll away, because this is going to be long.

As many other creators, including my moots, have pointed out in some of their posts, the like to reblog ratio has been getting worse. I’ve only been on tumblr for less than a year, and I’ve seen it get worse. On a good day, the ratio could be 1 reblog to 10 likes, with comments and feedback. Unfortunately, the ratio usually looks more like 1 reblog to 20-25 likes, with little to no comments and/or feedback. While we’re grateful for the likes, likes don’t do anything on Tumblr. 

Tumblr operates on reblogs NOT likes so please consider reblogging posts.

I’ve seen comments like “but no one follows me so will me reblogging really help” or “it’s okay I have my likes on.” Admittedly, I don’t fully understand how the system works, but here’s my interpretation of it. I acknowledge that there may be some mistakes, I don’t understand computer science…

Referring to this post by @\engineering, reblogs act as “a signal boost.” The more people reblog the original post, whether it includes their own comments or not, and regardless of whether the account has followers or not, it helps to boost/ spread the post to more people. Imagine it like a tree which grows more branches every time the post is reblogged. 

If you have followers, as the reblog tree grows, it reaches your audience, some of whom would have never seen the original post before. If you don’t have followers, then the Tumblr algorithm does most of the work. As the reblog tree grows more branches, it reaches other people’s for you pages, especially if the other person has interacted in the same kind of posts/ accounts you have interacted before, eg. posts on Seventeen. Conversely, if you just like the post, no branches are being grown, which means the post is not being spread. Spam liking can also lead to the original creator being shadowbanned (which is why some creators understandably block spam likers).

Additionally, in this post by @\mrsmothmon, she says that this tree-like growth structure means  reblogs are the norm here on Tumblr, it's part of Tumblr’s culture and etiquette. It’s been this way since Tumblr was created, and that’s not going to change just because time has passed.

Hence, why creators are always urging others to consider reblogging their posts. Reblogging doesn’t take a lot of time and effort, and it’s just probably one of the only ways you can show creators any support on Tumblr. When you reblog, you help to grow that little tree further which then spreads our work to new audiences. 

To put it bluntly, when we see the dismal like to reblog ratio, it’s disheartening, demoralising, and is a very big reason why many creators don’t feel like creating/ writing. Creators spend hours, if not days or even months, creating content for others to enjoy for free. We don’t get paid for this, yet we’re putting in so much effort, love, and time into it. 

Yes, we genuinely enjoy creating, that’s why we started posting content in the first place. But, we also love interacting with the people who consume our content. We love to hear what you have to say about our content, your thoughts/ feelings. It could just be a simple heart, long rambles, or even just incomprehensible screaming. Or, if you don’t wish to do any of those things, a simple blank reblog is greatly appreciated as well because as I mentioned, it helps to spread our work. It makes us feel appreciated, it motivates us to create more because we see that people actually like our content. Most importantly, it makes us feel seen. Trust me, your reblogs and comments make the whole world of difference between us feeling like we’re human beings who put our hearts and souls into creating, versus feeling like we’re simply content generating machines. 

Honestly, I hesitated on whether or not to even make this post because I know that to some, posts about reblogs are really annoying. While I am very very appreciative of all the love and support I’ve received on Tumblr so far, the issue of reblogs is just something that’s been weighing on my mind for a while. I’m not saying you have to reblog everything you see, no one is forcing anyone to do anything. And I’ll be the first to admit I need to work on reblogging more too, but, I hope this post helps to clarify why reblogging is so important, and why creators, myself included, are always urging others to consider reblogging their content. 

Thank you <3

Hey just letting you know. Tags only matter on the original post when it comes to exposure. Only original posts show up when searching on tumblr itself. If you're searching a specific person's blog, then them tagging a reblog helps to see what they've reblogged. (I mean this in a nicely btw!)

Yes, Im aware, however, tagging your reblogs is what makes the post show up on other peoples feed whilst scrolling, if you don't tag it, chances are no one else will see it unless they are following you or frequently check or like your blog (I think)

Ngl I didn't think ahead and I have no clue on how to make a happy ending for Lee know, it ended on such a bad note, how am I supposed to make the reader forgive after he said that 😭

Your 2nd anniversary with Lee Know was 2 weeks ago but Lee Know was too busy so you couldn't celebrate, and you don't blame him, you were busy too. So today you and him were meant to go on a date to celebrate the late anniversary. Except he hasn't shown up yet and you're starting to think he isn't gonna. You thought he might have lost track of time but it's late. You were starting to get self-conscious; were people looking at you? It didn't help that you were dressed up all pretty, waiting for a man who hadn't shown up.

You had already sent him about five messages asking if he was okay and where he was.

There was still no response.

However, your message showed that it had been read. You were beginning to feel anxious, fidgeting with the utensils on the table. You checked your phone again, hoping for a reply, but there was nothing. You decided to text him a few more times. You had already sent him about five messages asking if he was okay and where he was.

There was still no response.

However, your message showed that it had been read. You were beginning to feel anxious, fidgeting with the utensils on the table. You checked your phone again, hoping for a reply, but there was nothing. You decided to text him a few more times. Still no response.

After about an hour you realize he isn't coming and you leave the restaurant with a heavy heart, feeling dejected. You had dressed up all nicely just for the occasion, and yet he had left you hanging. If he'd texted you saying something came up at the company or something you would have understood but no, he read your messages but hadn't bothered to respond.

Once you arrive home you are instantly met with the sight of a tipsy-looking Lee Know sitting on the couch eating takeout, looking as if nothing had happened. He didn't seem to notice you at first but as you slammed the door behind you he looked up, noticing your presence. He looked unbothered, a stark change from your upset state.

“Where were you?”

Lee Know didn't answer immediately, instead, he continued to munch on his food, almost unbothered. "I was drinking with Changbin and Hyunjin at their dorm,” he replied after a while, his tone nonchalant. This only makes you even more mad.

“So you read my messages and chose not to respond to them?” You ask, already losing your temper at how unbothered he looked.

He shrugged nonchalantly. "Yeah, I saw them but I was busy,” he said, still eating. He seemed dismissive about your frustration, making no effort to apologize or reassure you.

“So did you forget or just choose to ignore my messages?” You ask, feeling hurt by his dismissiveness.

Lee Know finally stopped eating and let out a sigh. "Well, I didn’t exactly forget your message,” he admitted, a slight hint of annoyance in his tone. You were being clingy as usual, and I didn't feel like dealing with it. "

Lee Know’s words stung you; after waiting on him for over 2 hours in a pretty dress, wearing the perfume he likes, he had the audacity to call you clingy. "So you purposefully left me hanging," you replied, your irritation escalating, "I was waiting for you at the restaurant, dressed up and all for our 2nd anniversary, which was 2 weeks ago mind you, and you were busy drinking with Changbin and Hyunjin?" You continued, your voice getting louder. "But no, you decided not to respond to any of my texts, you let me sit all alone in the restaurant, couldn't even bother sending an 'I'm busy' or a 'can't come' text?"

Lee Know seemed to be getting irritated himself now, setting his takeout container aside. "Why are you getting so worked up? It's not a big deal,” he said, dismissive. "You're always like this, all clingy and needy."

His words were like salt on the wound, and you felt your eyes tearing up. "So I'm clingy for wanting my boyfriend to keep his plans and show up for our anniversary celebration? Our anniversary that was 2 weeks ago. I get that you're busy and I waited, I waited 2 weeks for this date and you didn’t come. I would’ve understood if something important came up, I would’ve even understood if you would’ve just told me you didn’t want to go, but no, you stood me up.”

Your voice cracked as you continued, the hurt evident in your tone. "And then you call me clingy and needy? For wanting some respect and consideration? For wanting you to treat me like a priority the same way I do you?"

Lee Know ran his fingers through his hair, frustration etched on his face. "You're over-exaggerating. I don’t get why you're making such a big deal out of this. So I couldn’t make it this time, so what?” He crossed his arms, his tone still indifferent.

"You're acting like a brat,* he muttered under his breath.

Even though he muttered it you still heard it, “Oh really? I am? And you're acting like someone who needs to get their priorities straight!” That was the last thing you said before storming out of the house.

Your anger reached its peak as you stormed out of the house, leaving Lee Know sitting alone on the couch. He watched you leave, looking slightly taken aback by your sudden outburst. But he made no effort to stop you, he just sat there and let you walk out. He hadn’t realized it yet but he messed up.

Big time.
