[gallowsraisedarc]

okay okay okay. im one of those writers inspired by faceclaims before actually writing a full backstory BUT was wondering if any of these sound like interesting muses y���all would wanna write w…

1. post-apocalyptic muse

- probably set in twd universe!

- bit of a hardass pushed into a leadership position he does not want

- quick to offer a drink to anyone but quicker to pull his gun on u

2. fbi agent

- undercover in organised crime

- acts stupid , secretly loves poetry lmfao

- connected to my darling rosie in her fbi verse on @bloodiedprints

3. superhero muse

- mutant experimented on as a child

- created a demon-like being, powers include: contract bestowal, mediumship, nightmare manipulation, and enhanced physiology

- can be applied also to supernatural universes where she is a literal demon

4. serial killer

- reluctantly brought into the family business when her father killed her girlfriend’s family

- very deceptive but morally conflicted

thinking about seho and jaemsung and how they're similar but also very much not. the similarities are that junmyeon and jaemin are almost overbearingly caring towards sehun and jisung respectively. but that's about it.

the way junmyeon cares for sehun, it sometimes feels like it's for junmyeon's benefit. he's such a little ball of anxiety and insecurity. i know he can be confident but there's a part of him that really likes external validation. caring for sehun seems to reassure him of himself, seems to almost be self-soothing.

on the other hand, i see jaemin as a far more confident person. unbothered king. he rarely ever does anything other than because he wants to. jaemin cares for jisung because when they first met, jisung really needed it. he's always hovering there as jisung's safety net, even in the most recent 7llin' with dream where he watched over jisung as he tried to work on the campfire. but jaemin's care for jisung is not self-reassurance as it is for junmyeon. it's due to jaemin liking jisung and wanting jisung to feel comforted.

sehun thrives in being babied. even at this age he insists that he's baby and he's been treated that way by the whole group, and continues to use his maknae status for his own benefit. despite junmyeon being cringe, sehun is pretty receptive to junmyeon's care, and i think that goes back to how the seho relationship is a bit more for junmyeon's benefit. sehun knows that junmyeon needs to do this and he lets him. sehun also enjoys the attention, but he understands that he's the only person junmyeon feels comfortable showing this squishy side to.

on the other hand, despite jisung being receptive to babying, he also wants to grow out of it. notably he doesn't like doing cutesy stuff anymore though he's been bullied into doing gyu again lmfao. but during hot sauce promotions, jisung said that he's been on the receiving end of so much babying that he's become numb to it, he wants to be the caring one. and he does that a lot. chenle says that jisung is constantly nagging him. in 7llin' with dream, we heard how jisung was constantly nagging renjun about cleaning up and such. jaemin's care was a safety net, so that jisung could grow up to be the version of himself that he wanted to be. and that involves him showing care to others and not just being the one who receives care.

side note about jensung. i don't 'love to use parental terms but i do see nomin as jisung's parents somewhat. mark is the leader and the dreamies definitely love each other very much, but nomin have always paid special attention to jisung. jeno isn't quite so affectionate, but the other members very much pick up on how jeno gives special treatment and attention to jisung. jeno tries to give jisung shit, but like jaemin, he acts as a safety net when he sees that jisung needs it. again to reference 7llin', jeno offered to go out to cook with jisung because he knew that jisung was panicked about that. contrast that with donghyuck who wanted jisung to try on his own. i think jeno wants to see jisung as a friend and as an equal, but there's the softhearted part of him that will always watch out for those parts of jisung that need help.
