Words: 2.3k

For @restlessmaknae, happy D-4 <3 Not to copy you but I realized that the best way not to have to cut another story in half because I couldn't finish it in time is to make sure I can stop pretty much any point and these short stories came pretty easy. You know I already told you about this idea like last year, so here it is finally. Keep your eyes out for the next stories <3

The wind chime outside of the ragged tent played a slow symphony to the rhythm of the night breeze.

The tall boy inside was humming an old folk song as he flipped through the pages of a book. It was a slow day but it was always hit or miss with the circus. They were constantly on the move and there was no way to tell how many people would stumble upon the red lights and fake golden glitter when they stopped.

Hyunjae had already assisted a married couple by helping an old memory to resurface and a teenage girl to face her trauma. People came to him with all kinds of requests, people who were brave or desperate enough to open their minds to him, to let him reach in there and pull. Like marionettes on strings. Thoughts were like dolls for him to play with. Lucky for many, he was a nice player, especially when he was paid handsomely.

It was the wind that he noticed first. The moment of cold when the entrance of the tent opened and closed. Then he looked up from his book, over his propped up legs on his desk and saw you. Words froze on the tip of his tongue as he watched you looking around in wonder, rooted to one spot by the edge of the tent. The flower pattern of your dress reminded him of the blooming spring. Last spring when he had last seen you. You had stood right there where you did then. You were awed at the decorations of his tent as if you had never seen anything more interesting than enchantments hanging from the top and books on alchemy. You turned slowly, gaze sticking to the fairy lights hanging all over the insides of the tent and when your eyes met his, you suddenly turned bashful, a dusty pink colour high on your cheeks.

"Hello," you bowed politely like a stranger and Hyunjae had to remind himself to get his shit together. Of course, you greeted him as if you had never met before. Because for you, you never did.

"Good evening. How can I help you?" The boy asked as he cleared his throat. He wasn't proud of the way he stumbled as he put his feet down on the ground and stood up. His hands gripped on the edge of his desk when you walked closer, clueless and innocent. Just like last time.

For someone who lived longer than most people, it was quite embarrassing how fast his heart beat just because of your closeness. His chest felt tight too when he saw the apples of your cheeks grow with the shy smile blooming on your lips as you stopped on the other side of his desk.

For a foolish moment, Hyunjae hoped naively that you would tell him that you were joking, that you would call him by his name and tell him to keep his part of the promise. But of course, the rational side of him knew it didn't work like it. You weren't supposed to know who he was or recognize him even if it wasn't the first time you met. But he remembered your smiles and soft touches way too vividly to not hope you were an exception to the circus' rules: everybody was bound to forget about their visit.

"I... I was told that hypnosis can help me forget something," you answered, visibly sceptical, which made Hyunjae crack a smile. You had been just like this the last time too: you had thought he was just a con man cheating money out of naïve people. You were one of those rational people who only believed things they saw and you didn't even believe what you saw, not until you were sure it was real which was a smart thing to do at a place where you could run into people swallowing down knives.

The you from last spring would have never asked something like that of him though. You had been caught up in the rain and looked for a hideout. His tent had just been there, warm and inviting. Hyunjae had done his best to entertain you, amused himself by your stubbornness when you hadn't believed what he could do. So he wondered what could have happened that led you right back here, this time on purpose. The psychic girl from the tent next door would have told him it was destiny even though Hyunjae had never asked her to draw cards for him.

He hadn't wanted to hope in vain because he knew the inevitable: you would eventually leave and he had no choice but to stay at the circus. So in a way it felt nothing but a cruel play of the fate that it led you back to him. Yet, he couldn't send you away just to spare the heartache.

"Sure, it can. Please, take a seat," he pointed at the chair beside you before stepping to the kettle next to his bookshelf to prepare a cup of warm lotus tea. Selfishly, he stole glances at you while he was busy with the preparations. The ribbon in your hair was skewed and your lips were pink like peonies. Your curious doe eyes were warm and he remembered all too well how they used to be directed at him.

"Two cubes of sugar, a bit of lemon," he said as he slid the steaming cup in front of you and smiled knowingly at the surprise clear on your face.

"How?" You mumbled, eyes widening suspiciously which made him want to tease you. He couldn't have told you that he had learned your preference last time you had been there and he couldn’t forget it ever since.

"Lucky guess," he lied and watched as you sniffed at the sweet blue tea doubtfully before giving it a try. Hyunjae was relieved to see the corners of your mouth turn upwards even though he knew you would like it.

The boy unconsciously fixed his collar as he sat down across from you and licked his lower lip before he asked the question that had been on his mind ever since you had told him why you had come to him.

"What would you like to forget?"

You took a small, careful sip from your tea before setting the cup down again and looked up at Hyunjae. Your gaze was open and trusting and he felt his heart skip a beat. Oh, if only you knew how conflicted you made him feel.

"I keep dreaming of a place," you spoke up quietly, waiting to be interrupted but the boy waited patiently for you to keep going on. You brushed your hair out of your face, fingers tangling in your locks. "It's not even a real place. I have tried to look it up but it doesn't exist. In my dreams, I want to go there. I want to go there so bad that when I wake up I miss this place where I had never been and where I cannot go. It's like I feel trapped where I am. Sometimes I can't even sleep because I keep daydreaming about this place. I've tried everything to get my mind off it but I just can't. I know it sounds crazy but–"

"It's not," Hyunjae stopped you before you could have felt embarrassed. "Can you tell me more about this place? What's it like?"

You looked him in the eyes, gulped and then nodded, your eyes determined.

"It's a place by the sea. You can see the stars from the beach clearly and there are no villages as far as one can see. There are stairs though, in the air, that lead to a palace."

Hyunjae couldn't do anything but stare. He looked at your face closely, watching your expression, trying to figure out if you were playing a prank on him. That couldn't be. You weren't supposed to remember that. His home.

You had been daring. Calling him a fraud. Telling him to prove it if he could really hypnotise you and Hyunjae shouldn't have. He didn't use his power just for the sake of it after all, he used it for work, for actual clients, not overly curious girls. But it was raining outside and it was unlikely that he would get a new customer anytime soon, so he might as well just kill time, couldn't he?

He had sat you down, given you tea, lit candles and told you to close your eyes. Your lips were curled up in a smile, playfully mocking, as if challenging him to prove you wrong. Then Hyunjae took out his pocket watch and told you to imagine a pastel blue, endless sea.

He could have taken you anywhere. He still wasn't sure why he had chosen a place so personal to him but watching you explore the celestial palace had warmed his heart. He had told you childhood stories and anecdotes that you believed to be made up stories. You had told him so when you had opened your eyes and smiled at him so brightly. You had asked dozens of questions about his books, about how he had learned this and he had told you. He had always known you would forget it when leaving the circus, so there had been no reason to fear being exposed. You couldn't have known that though, not then.

"Will you be here tomorrow, too?" You had asked when the rain had stopped yet you had seemed reluctant to leave. Hyunjae had been too selfish to tell you to go as well. He was a lot of things but he wasn't a liar. Usually.

"Probably not. The circus never stays long anywhere," he had told you and watched the disappointment sweep into your expression slowly like a cloth drinks up liquid.

"Oh. And will you be back?" You had kept going and Hyunjae had pretended that the hope in your voice hadn't messed with his heart.

"Probably. But I have no idea when. I go where the circus goes. You will forget me by then anyway," he had said as cold and firm as he could and you hadn't asked why. You hadn't asked why people forgot, why rarely anybody had visited twice, why he was acting like it was a final goodbye. You had just leaned against the entrance, under the fairy lights, your hair still half-wet from the rain, your smile suddenly saddened.

"Can you promise me something?" You had looked at him with those pretty eyes, your voice like melting honey to his ears and it had taken everything in him not to make stupid promises. He hadn't said anything but you continued anyway. "If we meet again, remind me?"

It was a sweet memory, locked in a small jar next to Hyunjae's heart but he felt the glass cracking as his fingers around his pocket watch trembled.

"Are you okay?" The gentle voice and the warmth of a hand on his shoulder helped him snap out of it. He cleared his throat and pulled farther away from you who had circled the desk and stood right there, beside him with worry clear in your eyes.

"Yes, sorry. If you're ready, we can start. I will help you forget and stop these dreams," he told you because he hadn't promised you anything back then. It wouldn't have done anything good if he reminded you of him and your shared past. You would leave and forget either way.

You nodded but hesitated for a moment before walking back to the chair. Hyunjae felt like he could breathe again when he lit the candle in the middle of the table. He felt in control during hypnosis after all.

"Close your eyes," he instructed you in a mellow voice, never taking his eyes off your face, the way your eyelashes trembled as you complied. "Now imagine the place you told me about. Do you see the sea? The stars? The stairs?"

With each question, Hyunjae took a step closer to you, the ticks of his pocket watch louder by the moment.

"Okay, now turn your back to the sea," the boy continued after you confirmed that you were where you were supposed to be. "Good. Now turn around slowly. Once. Twice. Three times. With each turn you feel your surroundings disappear into nothing. First the palace and the stairs. Then the sea and the beach. Lastly, the stars."

"One. Two. Three," you mumbled quietly under your nose with your eyebrows furrowed in concentration.

Hyunjae leaned down with one of his hands holding onto the backrest of the chair before he snapped his fingers right beside your ears to wake you up from the hypnosis. Your eyes widened suddenly with clarity and your gazes locked. Hyunjae's breath caught in his throat. Gosh, you were magnetic, how could he have forgotten?

He couldn't make himself move, not even when you leaned forward, lifted your hand and touched his cheek, caressing almost lovingly. Your eyes were dark and dreamy, cloudy with the after-effect of the hypnosis and your lips were bitten red like cherries and your voice was like an enchantment itself.

"Hyunjae."

His name fell from your lips like a plea or a summon and it was his turn to widen his eyes in surprise. Before he could have said anything though, you fainted right into his arms.

The wind chime outside of the ragged tent played a slow symphony to the rhythm of the morning breeze.

Hyunjae was humming an old folk song about the celestial palace and a runaway immortal as he peeked outside. There was nobody there, just the clear sea and white sand with shells you collected from the day before.

The circus had left long ago.

What happens when a stream goes far beyond the point it should've been turned off..? This is, THE DARK HOUR

What if there was a "podcast" that could never be recorded intentionally? One that only occurs when the clock's arm enters its most dreaded position… This is. THE DARK HOUR. A new variety series from RTVS that will showcase what happens when a stream goes far too long, what comedy horrors are born from a late nite chat with the Boyz…

In this first episode, Scorpy's Kingdom Hearts stream enters strange territory after his energy is spent besting Riku. After accessing the Royal Toddlers wiki, everything changes. Talk of sad lives in a circus leads to a wish to visit Gimbel's Toy Store. And then we realize our collective, deepest, wish. PLEASE LET US MOVE IN WITH YOU, PHARELL!

Gleberman's podcast, take 2: the video edition

I volunteered to take one for the team, again, this time watching (or trying to, at least) the video version of Gleberman's infamous podcast on Youtube (if you are a masochist, like me, feel free: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_md73Ws2O4&t=303s). You see, I was so intrigued by the OTT praise that I wanted to see the live reactions. To do so, I even watched it at a 0,25 reduced speed ratio, just to catch up those pesky, spontaneous facial expressions he couldn't possibly hide.

Let's start with what we all know: in 10 years, S is much, much better at hiding his game and almost proficient at mastering the poker face. But if you really pay attention (and I did), you might still notice some interesting things: after all, we aren't robots and we can't calibrate or control everything. So, here's my take on what I saw, with screencaps, and covering only the bits I quoted in my first post (https://www.tumblr.com/sgiandubh/733285180488450048/and-kia-ora-to-new-zealand-like-youve )- the rest was really beyond my patience and goodwill abilities, to be honest.

A word and a question on the staging of this podcast, before anything else. I am always paying great attention to the outfits of the people who participate, because I believe they are an integral part of the show itself. While Gleberman's was, to be honest, unacceptably sloppy, S was right on point the message he wanted to convey, with the short-sleeved (?) khaki shirt that spelled three things: Bachelor. Traveler/Explorer. Tropical Chic. As a side note, I wish he'd been dressed like that in the Nevis resort suite snippet: not the usual Peter Panesque/Marty McFly/boyz in da hood outfit. But hey, that's just me, what do I know, after all, maybe the boy really feels more relaxed in those. Brand-wise, however, I will never cease to drum up the urgent need to step up the outfit game and start aligning it with the real age.

The other thing that intrigued me is common to S and C: their love of cupboards and hallways when it comes to playing the show/not show game on podcasts 'from home'. Because they know we watch and because they know, by now, we are probably worse than the MI-6, we're left with... eh... nothing. He apparently found the perfect solution with that sort of a connecting space he is always showing us, lately. Seriously, though, who the hell places himself in front of an opening (sliding door?) to a bigger room, except when wanting to block both the view and any other interpretation? Heh. Things that make one go 🤔.

Anyways. Let's have a look at some reactions I have screencapped:

Gleberman: 'same sweetest person and like an amazing human being'.

Translation: I am pursing my lips and bracing myself for the rest of the #silly compliment. I can't possibly express how much this annoys and embarrasses the bejesus out of me. But hey, Monica, have at it and let's be done already with this circus.

Gleberman: '...and friend to talk to and I just love you.'

Translation: I close my eyes because I don't want to hear the OTT crap this woman is shamelessly peddling around. I cross my arms defensively, because this is the best I can do. I really pray internally she'd immediately stop it, somehow (though I am fully aware she won't and this is just the beginning). She definitely overstepped a red line and I don't want to be a part of it.

S: '.I think there's...there's a lot of smoke and mirrors, this is ALL fake.'

Translation: I am talking with my hands to make a point (and also to show off the damn rings - oh, Lord, let them talk about these to oblivion, on socials). I am also covering my face with a gesture evocative of a smoke curtain, because ultimately I feel the need to protect myself from the smiling entity on the other side of my screen and because, at the same time, I know exactly what I did here. Oops, I just unleashed another half-in-jest zeppelin, that people could pretzel exactly how they see fit. However, it's true: my public persona is a carefully curated lie. Peekaboo, underneath I know very well what my committed truth is.

S: ' I am the double'.

Translation: I am opening my arms and I am puffing out my chest. There, I've said it. Ha! I am in full defiant mode, now. I meant every single word I just said and damn the consequences.

I wish I'd had the patience to watch it all. But I think I've managed to analyze the most interesting part of it. Overall, there was quite a bit of stress involved on S's side (lots of chin grabbing, etc), the only one I was interested in. She was simply not worth my attention and I doubt she, unlike many other people in the media, 'knows stuff'. If anything, that only served to validate my first impressions.

And yes, always look for the presence of the teeny-tiny abnormal detail. Sometimes (not always) it can prove rewarding.

never seen circus | masterpost

a multifandom series revolving around a mysterious circus that’s constantly on the move and even though it always has visitors, it’s not remembered by anyone

A short story collection set in the same mystical world. The stories themselves are not linked although I try to put little hints into them about the theme of the next one. They can be read entirely separately though. Details and warnings are specified on each story but all of them contain magical realism/fantasy/folktale elements with ambiguous endings.

the stuff with inb100 is interesting cause this isnt the first time 100red has done something like this. when the boyz moved companies 100 made a press release talking about how IST wouldnt give them the rights to the name of the group and asked for loads of momey etc basically a sob story which IST had to refute. whether its true or not this is clearly how they operate by trying to create a sympathy narrative for their artists

like 😭😭 this man is a fucking joke and cbx just joined the circus

thank you. i need all the support i can get lol. i appreciate it. i know right? i didn't understand why either but whatever lol. I'm glad your thanksgiving was good! did you have friends over? what was the favorite dish you cooked? the place where im at rn doesnt do thanksgiving lol so i had school. kind of upsetting tbh coz i saw my friends all celebrate dressed up. yeah no the rain thing mustve been terrifying especially after just waking up.

No, our Thanksgivings are relatively small. Just me, my parents and my brother! I prefer smaller gatherings anyways lol

Aww, I'm sorry you didn't get to do anything. Hopefully at Christmas, or at most next year you can!

I get it, it sucks when there is too much to do you have no moments to rest. Do you have winter vacation or days of around Christmas coming up??

No, I didn't have any kpop on my wrapped, I feel like a failure lmao. I got really into some specific artists and songs outside of kpop and listened to them on repeat, so all of those ended up on my list rather than kpop.

Hmm, its pretty hard to narrow it down to favorites, but some are:

Ateez: 'Halazia' is definitely my fave (I also love the MV) I also really like their songs 'Deja Vu' and 'Paradigm'.

Stray Kids: Its a lot harder to choose favorites from Skz, but I really enjoy 'Gods Menu', 'Circus', 'Thunderous', 'Back Door' and 'Time Out'

Seventeen: A newer group for me but I really like 'Super' and 'Rock With You'

Tomorrow x Together: I've only started listening to them even more recently, but I've been listening to 'Sugar Rush Ride" and 'Chasing that feeling"

Also the new song by The Boyz called 'Watch It' has been stuck in my head a lot.

There might be other songs that I like more than the ones listed but these are the ones I can recall at this moment

[luxuryshifting]

Whats your fav moment (or song) in your kpop dr :3

my fav song to perform in each my k-pop drs😋😋

The Boyz: i think my fav to perform is Giddy Up at least dance wise because it's super energetic. like ik the rest of tbz don't like performing it because of the concept but it's super fun to perform. i also liek to perform Thrill Ride for the same reason: it's energetic and fun. my favorite to sing is definitely Savior because like....it's Savior. it's like so good and i love to sing it. i also really really love to sing Nectar because it's just so sweet same with No Air. it's actually really hard to pick for tbz.

Cravity: my favorite song to perform dance wise is C'est La Vie. it's like actually soooo fun, and complicated. but overall it looks cool asf. my favorite song to sing would probably be Go Go. i'm a sub vocal so i don't get lots of lines, but i love to sing Go Go because it's soft and just overall very sweet sounding.

Oneus: dance wise has to be Now, because like...cmon now, it's literally so fun. it's just like the perfect amount of complex fun. i looovvvee the dance break. vocal wise i'd have to say Baila Conmigo. i think my voice fits that song really well and it's just really enjoyable to sing.

Lun8: dance wise would be Whip. i just love doing energetic songs like, cmon i love jumping around. it's literally my thing. vocal wise i'd have to say Superpower, it's just so fun and ughhhh. i love it.

Circus (own bg): dance wise would definitely have to be Blood, Sweat, & Tears (og: bts). it's just really beautiful and gorgeous in general. like it's actually so fun to dance to even if it's liek...not super energetic. i'm a rapper in this dr so my fav song to perform vocal wise would be Gods Menu (og: skz) and or Guerilla (og: ateez), because i have some FIRE parts in those songs other than just my rap.

Hyped-Up (own bg): my favorite dance would probably be Cat & Dog (og: txt). it's sooooo fun, i love energetic songs and urggghhhg. like don't play rn that song is so fun to dance to. my favorite vocal wise would be Serenade (og: bnd) or Maybe Baby (og: cravity) because they're both just super sweet sounding and i love to sing them. like i feel like they're just really good songs to sing to and everything.

6ixTEEN: dance wise my favorite one would be Very Nice (og: svt) because it's ENERGETIC AND SILLY AND FUN. i love the suspenders and everything like we fuck that uppppp. my favorite vocal is Tempo (og: exo) because like...it's Tempo. that song is literally gorgeous like i love singing it. it's so good i like cream my pants when singing it.

5th Gen Group: even tho it doesn't have a name we do have discography! my favorite dance wise is either Killin' It (og: p1h) or Work (og: ateez) like both have really similar vibes and they're so fun to dance to. my favorite vocally would have to be Jackpot (og: vanner) because it's just super fun. like ughhh, i love the chorus

anyway that's all my k-pop drs and my favs to perform from each of them. apologies for yapping a lot. it was actually really hard to pick a dance for Circus, because i never actually danced to them. i dance to like all my group's discography in this reality for visualization purposes and i never really did a Circus song.

That's about as far as I got before wanting to do more. Turns out watching your favorite shows can be more effective in rebooting your brain than I thought.

I've got the next three days off for my brain to emotionally reset itself, and for all of it I'm going to be using THIS:

You can figure out what I'm gonna do with this from there. Schmucky needs some comfort TV.
