I convinced our Delta Green game master to have a play-by-post (basically text roleplay) section in our game's server and uhhhhh maybe I've been having too much fun with it. Writing is faster than drawing comics, what can I say?

(Long ramble about writing stories below hehe oops)

While we're here! A bit about writing: I like writing! I've written for loger than I've drawn for (because school). I think I'm better at writing than drawing for that reason (I'm more confident at least). I've written short stories. I've written short stories about TTRPG things. I've also written a ~100k word novel by hand for 2 years. While writing it, I had 'writing class' (technically AS/A level Ennglish Language classes). It was the only class I had confidence in and high expectations for.

With those 2 combined, I burnt out pretty quick LOL. Specifically, I had a big perfectionism issue because of the high expectations I had from my teacher and especially myself -- it was the one thing I knew excelled at in school, so I better do it well! After I was done with the novel and A levels, I was supposed to edit the novel. It's been years and I haven't done it yet, and I wouldn't write non-assignment stories (except 2) until now. Writing became more nerverwracking than it was fun, so why would I?

To get back to the PBP thing: I've been in a campaign that was fully PBP. With my mindset being the way it is, hey! This is just one big writing exercise, so I ran along with that and had fun with it. I saw how some players would make their own PBP and essentially monologue/have a scene only with their PC. That was cool to see.

And now, my current Delta Green campaign (tagged 'Helvetia'). Hrothgar (guy in drawing) and his kids were ported over from a previous D&D campaign (the fully PBP one!), so the crew had a very well defined background already. Of course I get tons of drawing ideas for them, except I don't have the time to draw them all (compsci hard). But since the server has a PBP section, I had like 2 weeks to kill between session 0 and 1, and I was bursting with ideas... I made a lot of solo PBPs that were essentially short stories.

It didn't quite hit me until some time ago, but the PBPs actually made me enjoy writing again -- enjoy it a lot more, in fact! I think the format of Discord threads and messages removed most perfectionism tendencies I had. I just had to fire the story away, message by message. It didn't have to be amazing, and it was fun! (Also I really don't know how to shut up with them LOL)

I'll definitely be cleaning these PBPs up and posting them here as stories. Some of them are just silly, fun, slice-of-life character sketches. (These were the stories I wrote after my novel... and yes, they were about my other set of Delta Green characters LMAO) (and I've posted them here under pawsedswrite btw!) But some I see as legitamite short stories that I would edit more heavily and present as a short story. They were the kinds I could see myself writing on a document rather than on Discord.

Well, I lied. 'I would edit' is false. I have already edited one, because I spent like 5-6h writing this one PBP (oops) instead of writing the draft for my short story class/elective (oops 2). I joked to my two friends saying that I could just submit it as my assignment. Apparently, they both really liked it and said the dialogued slapped. So I did!

I procrastinated like hell on it though, because I was very nervous to go back into the PBP with an axe to edit it. Being in a writing class where nearly everyone else has been formally studying writing for some years kinda puts some pressure on ya!

Like the last assignment (which I'll post here after editing), I had a lot of worries. But the feedback and grade I got from my last assignment, the peer review I got from the current one, and also the support from those two friends (shoutout @katastrofish <3) made me feel more confident in myself. And also the fact that I had a lot of fun editing the PBP!

Uhhh this ramble was way longer than expected LMFAO if you've made it this far, damn, thanks for reading! If you also write or have similar experiences, feel free to share em. And have a good day!

(bonus POV editing)

2023: The Year of Milestones

What a crazy year it's been, am I right? I graduated high school, and I'm now a college freshman. We got some new films that were memed a lot and made a lot of cash. The Owl House and Summer Camp Island ended. I got into some new things as well. Unikitty: Big Bright World turned 5 in January 2023, which is why I crappily edited in the milestone doodle I did for it. You can find it here because I made an ask blog for BBW. For anyone who doesn't yet know me, Unikitty and the BBW AU mean a lot to me.

Following that milestone, I realized there were more things I liked that were turning 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 that year than I thought, and those are very noteworthy digits to me. I wanted to create anniversary drawings for them in celebration. But, because I was procrastinating from them and I also had other stuff going on, I couldn't.

Instead of individual milestone drawings, I decided to compile all of them into one big tribute. For the same reasons, though, I had to delay it to January of 2024. I was aiming to have it ready to go by about New Years' Eve. But then on Christmas day, me and my brothers were surprised with a trip to California, and we left three days later.

Without further padding out, I'll talk about the things from which the characters are here partying with me, and what those things mean to me. I'll also talk about what the 5 on my hot chocolate mug means, because I'm not 5 years old, and I wasn't born on Leap Day. Here we go!

We're starting with the oldest thing featured, The Nightmare Before Christmas, which came out in 1993 and hit 30 years. Me and my family went to see it in a theater back in October of 2020, leading to me growing fascinated by it, its characters and its worldbuilding. I LOVE ME SOME COOL AND INTERESTINGLY DEVELOPED WORLDS, OKAY? THE HOLIDAY FOREST IS NO EXCEPTION! I thought of some other towns based on New Years, birthdays and Earth Day. I also thought up some backstory for Lock, Shock and Barrel because they're my favorite characters and I need more of them. Honestly, I felt like I was late to the party. Like, why hadn't I watched it sooner? But let me tell you, you can get invested in something at any time, no matter how dead its fandom is. I think the reason why TNBC stuck with me is because of its spooky-fun atmosphere. I'm not a fan of horror movies; when I go into the garage or go to pee at night, I have this subconscious fear that something's gonna jump out and slash me in two. I sleep with a nightlight on, too. But if it's clear that the spooks are non-threatening (which the Halloween Town citizens made clear in This is Halloween) and there's no graphic violence or gore anywhere, I'm all for it. After all, I enjoy both cute and dark things, and that's how I present myself. Also, I made an entry for TheITinFIT's YTP collab for TNBC in observance of its 30th anniversary, and you can watch it at the link in the replies!

Finding Nemo came out in 2003, so it's hit 20 years. Let me tell you- I was scared of this movie when I was younger. I wouldn't watch it because of the part where Marlin and Dory were sucked up by that whale, or when that pelican swallowed them (not Nigel; he's a good egg). I was also scared of that Octonauts episode where Dashi gets stuck inside a whale shark. I've always had this fear of getting swallowed by a larger being. And this is just my personal opinion, but I'm disgusted by vore. It's not for me, and it's never been. I can handle those scenes now- after all, Dory and Marlin made it out alive both times (and Dashi did, too). Later on, I had a greater appreciation for FN. Like spooky-fun stuff, another favorite, uh, aesthetic of mine is oceans and the sea. I dunno- sea animals are cool, and I've been fascinated with them since I was a kid. I had this phase where I wanted to be a marine biologist. There's just something so relaxing, but simultaneously exciting about Finding Nemo, and for that reason, it's now one of my favorites from Pixar.

I was listening to the theme song for this show while writing this. Teen Titans also premiered in 2003, and I'm kind of ashamed to admit that I was introduced to it by Teen Titans Go. In 2018, we saw Teen Titans Go To The Movies in theaters, and I followed TTG up until, like, 2021. By that point, it just wasn't enjoyable for me anymore, but I still very much enjoy the classic series. I watched it from start to finish in 2019 and got super into it, especially the HIVE Five. On Wattpad, I created a random story that was basically a blog for the HIVE. I wrote them profiles, let my followers ask them questions, and did incorrect quotes. It's deleted now, though. I was weirdly obsessed with See-More to the point where I made an OC that was his cousin, made OCs based on the other four senses, and shipped him with Scorpion (though they broke up later on). My mom printed the HIVE symbol on a black T-shirt, and it's still in my closet today. Besides them, one of my other favorite characters is Raven. Any character with a purple and black color scheme will catch my eye, but I also found her history and character traits interesting to the point where she influenced one of my favorite OCs I've made. I've got the entire Teen Titans series on DVD, including the Trouble in Tokyo movie. It was one of the first things I could say was one of my fandoms, so it's got a special place in my heart. By the way, I’d LOVE a (good) HIVE Five movie.

Another thing I absolutely ADORE that came out of 2003 was the Mario & Luigi RPG series. I mean, I've been playing games in the entire Super Mario franchise since I was young. With this series, I'd always be playing Partners in Time, Bowser's Inside Story and Dream Team on my DS, but in both games, I could never get past two parts. For PiT, I couldn't beat the Swiggler, and in BiS, I couldn't get past the Pump Works area inside Bowser. (Like, I couldn't find the Stingler, even though it was actually super easy. You know, the sparky bzzt thing that opens that one door?) Dream Team was the only game my younger self actually completed, and I think that's why it was the game I liked the most. We got Paper Jam when it came out, and though me and my brothers fought over who got to play it for a while, I played it and beat it. I REALLY started getting invested in the M&L series in 2017, when the Superstar Saga remake came out. Now, as I said earlier, big, elaborate worlds with multiple places to explore and lots of characters will have my attention! So, I was hyped to traverse the Beanbean Kingdom. I never played the original Superstar Saga because we never owned any type of Gameboy. But, I got the remake, played it, and beat both SS and Bowser's minions. One thing led to another, and I fell back down the M&L hole. I even wrote a Prince and the Pauper-like story about Prince Peasley and Red, one of my OCs, but it's also deleted now. I had the idea that the series would be a great TV show, leading to me developing an AU in which I write it like one, with my own characters and kingdoms. Some of you may be thinking that if the M&L series appeals to me, then I would enjoy Paper Mario, too. If you are, I think you might be right!

As I just said, I loved Dream Team the most, and it's still my favorite game in the series. For this occasion, I was planning on writing a post on why Dream Team was, in fact, a CLASSIC, but again- because of personal business and procrastination, I didn't. I forgot all of my points anyway. But I will say this: even with all the long tutorials, the visuals in the game are absolutely GORGEOUS. I love how well-detailed everything is. The colors were so vibrant and dream-like (just like the game title, guys!). And, the music is AWESOME. In fact, it's one of my favorite game soundtracks ever. I want more of the music with lyrics! I already wrote some for three of them! Luigi really got his time to shine, and his and Mario's brotherliness thoughout the game was just SO amazing and sweet. Luigi believes in Mario so much, and he's willing to fight alongside him, and they're unstoppable together! Also, the Pi'illos were and still are an extremely interesting concept to me, to the point where I thought up a whole Elena of Avalor-type character arc for Prince Dreambert. To me, he seems like a prince learning to rule his land in a different time after being stuck in a nightmare chunk for who knows how long. Anyways, Dream Team is amazing. I freakin' love it. Not much more needed to be said.

Hitting 15 years in 2023 is one of my all-time favorite movies ever, WALL-E! I have loved and appreciated this movie ever sense I was a literal toddler! I made a bunch of little WALL-E stories, so I’ve been writing fanfiction as early as then. I just didn’t know what that was yet. I remember pretending to be EVE and M-O, the latter of whom is my favorite character. I loved it when I was younger, but I didn’t realize just how amazing it was until I started fixating on it again in 2021. When you revisit something, you can notice lots of things you hadn’t seen before and understand why you love it and what makes it so great. Like, I came to better understand WALL-E’s story and themes, and appreciate how gorgeous it is. I watched Hello, Dolly because of WALL-E, and the parallels I noticed blew my little mind. Those old stories I wrote when I was 5 influenced that WALL-E human AU I made. I think I might bring back my gijinkas and create ones for other things with non-human characters because I miss them. I think the reason why this movie appeals to me is because WALL-E himself is fun and perky and curious (and music-loving) in a similar way to myself. And, I’m a firm believer that there’s more to life than my job. I think that because of WALL-E, I enjoy sci-fi stories and worlds just as much as fantasy stories and worlds. I’m also a sucker for stories that combine sci-fi with fantasy. I still love and appreciate WALL-E so, so, SOOO much, and it’s such a huge part of my life. Autistic WALL-E is real to me.

A movie that came out the same year as WALL-E that I also still love a lot is Ponyo. It came out in the US a year later, but I’m still including it here. Ponyo was my introduction to Studio Ghibli, and I watched it as often as I did WALL-E back in the day. Me and my brother LOVED this movie and would watch it while in in the car a lot of the time. I remember that my brother even started pretending to be a character called “Sonyo.” I think he also started liking ham. I already said how much I love oceans and fantasies! I don’t really watch a lot of anime or movies from Japan, so this was actually my first time drawing Sosuke and Ponyo. I think they came out pretty great. If it hadn’t been for this movie, though, I don’t think I would have wanted to check out Ghibli’s other films. I did watch Doraemon, Yokai Watch and some Pokémon XY Kalos Quest, so I think I still may have wanted to see other anime shows like Eizouken (which I watched all 12 episodes of). But, I’ve got Ponyo to thank for introducing me to Japanese animation as a whole, and in 2021, I watched all of Ghibli’s other movies (except for Grave of the Fireflies). I think I’ll rewatch Spirited Away and Arrietty sometime later on. I really want to see The Boy and the Heron.

There’s a good number of 10s here, by which I mean these things all came out in 2013. The earliest of these is Steven Universe, which came out in May of that year. I got into Unikitty when the last few episodes of SU were being hyped up. I remember watching a clip for Tragic Magic before YouTube slapped the For Kids thing on it, and most the comments were like, “Give us Legs From Here to Homeworld!” So later on in, like, 2019, I got curious and started watching the show from late Season 3 onwards. My first episode was Earthlings. Then, I watched the whole show from start to finish when CN did the Every Steven Ever thing before the movie came out. I watched the movie past my bedtime ‘cause it premiered on a school night. I made myself a gemsona, my brother started watching the movie and getting interested, and I watched the whole series with him including Future. Even with its flaws, and despite what people say about it, it was an enjoyable watch for us! It’s not the best thing ever because nothing is, but I’m on the side of defending it. Even with its flaws and all the shade it got thrown at it, it paved the way for lots of great things and helped so many people feel understood. This show is legendary in more ways than one, and it still has my respect.

I’ve been interested in Ever After High since it first launched in 2013. I never had any of the dolls, but I think I watched a few episodes of the series. I remember reading Shannon Hale’s books and owning some of the other toys (like a lockable diary). I was interested in Monster High as well (creepy/fun and cute style! Right up my alley!), but I mostly leaned towards Ever After High. I’d also search the web and look up information about the characters. Raven’s included here because, once again, purple and black color scheme! Yay! But it’s mainly because I remember wanting to be like her. I wanted to be a rebel, and I began calling myself one. Back then, I interpreted her as being so defiant of her prewritten destiny that she believed following it was dumb. But I’ve grown since then, and I came to realize that she isn’t like that. Far from that image, in fact. It’s such a HUGE shame what happened to EAH, but I’m glad there are still people out there who show interest in it. I currently follow someone who’s got lots of ideas for a reboot! Sign me up!

I loved lots of other games in the Super Mario franchise, like Mario Party 9 and New Super Mario Bros. for the DS. My great enjoyment of Super Mario 3D World pretty much goes hand-in-hand with Ever After High. Why, you may ask? Because of the weird crossovers I wrote. Let me explain! Hear me out! I was a well-known enthusiast for the game’s Sprixies. You know, those little fairy creatures? I even had names for the Sprixie princesses based on their colors: Greenia, Yellowlina, Bluia, Orangia, Violet, Aquamarina and Redna. (Get it? Edna, but red?) These days, I still call the purple one Violet, but I gave the rest of them other nicknames. Also, back then, I had the red one be the queen of the Sprixies even though the green one is implied to be the face of the seven. Back to the ridiculous EAH crossovers. I made Sprixie sisters for the female characters in the series. The male characters had Toad brothers. It wasn’t just canon characters, either- I also made Sprixie and Toad siblings for people’s OCs I found on the internet. I even typed up a story about the characters and their, quote-unquote, siblings. But yeah- Super Mario 3D world was ridiculously fun, the music was bouncy and catchy, and the graphics are actually really pretty. In the last worlds, whenever we didn’t have enough green stars to advance, I’d organize the Daily Green Star Hunt. Games like this are the reason why I love searching levels for treasures and trinkets as I go along, and I don’t want to advance until all is found. I’m at a point in my life where I completed SM3DW (and also Bowser’s Fury, since we got that edition) to its entirety with everything you could collect in the game. This game stands as one of my top favorites in the Mario franchise as a whole, so much so that I wanted to include it in Mario & Luigi Rewritten.

I love a lot of films from Pixar, but when I was 9, I especially loved Monsters University. The most noteworthy memory I have with it, which is also the most important one to me, is when I had my tonsils removed. By the way, that’s the only time I ever had surgery done on me. After it happened, the next three or so weeks consisted of me eating nothing but ice cream, taking nasty medicine, and messing around with an iPad on this app called Toontastic (if anyone here has heard of it, you’re a legend to me). I also rented MU out on the TV without my parents’ permission and watched it on repeat. I loved to doodle the movie’s background characters and include my doodles of them into my Toontastic cartoons. (Yeah- the app had a thing where you could draw your own characters and backdrops. Also, off-topic, but Toontastic is the reason I know about Deng Xiaoping.) Also, I shipped the frats and sororities with each other. Like, all six of each one. The RORs with the HSSs, the EEKs with the JOXs, the PNKs with Oozma Kappa. Except for Mike, whom I knew was with Celia, and Sulley, who I shipped with… Carla the Killer Claws lady? That wasn’t the best idea. Johnny x Rosie is a ship I still remember quite fondly. Like I said with WALL-E, the older you get, the more you notice why you love a film so much and what makes it good. I really appreciate MU’s message about how it’s okay to fail. And yes, it is! Because if failure wasn’t an option, you wouldn’t know how to pick yourself back up on your feet when things go wrong. Even if you don’t achieve the dreams you hope for, that doesn’t mean you’re done for and there aren’t other doors you can go through. You still matter. My brother and I made a bunch of jokes about MU when I started college. Of course, it’s not what college is actually like, but I still love it and the original Monsters Inc. If I ever see Steve Buscemi, Billy Crystal or any of the other people from this movie in real life, I’m telling them about me watching it while recovering from surgery.

I’ve always gravitated towards the Mario franchise more than the Sonic franchise. And while I have played Mario and Sonic at London 2012, I didn’t like to play anything solely Sonic except for Sonic Lost World. I know, I know- it wasn’t well-received, but that doesn’t make me any less of someone who enjoys Sonic. Back then, I loved watching cutscenes and walkthroughs of the game, and I was particularly fascinated by the Deadly Six. I can only remember looking up pictures of them and reading fics about them. But, that led me to come back to my affinity for them in 2020. I became interested in fleshing out their characters more and imagining what their pasts were like. I do that a lot when I hear people say a thing is half-baked or cookie-cutter of mediocre/bad. I also created my own Zeti characters as well. I played other Sonic games like Colors and Forces, I saw the movies, and I thought up my Mobian characters. Also, I watched Snapcube’s SA2 fandub. I was there to witness Eggman go on the moon. I’d love to branch out to more Sonic stuff, so if anyone would like to recommend me some, please do! I’m all ears! If you’ve seen Take Me To Snurch (Snail Church), a version of that with the Zeti is stuck in my head now. 🎶 Take me to zurch. I’ll worship like a Zeti at the zhrine of your zife…

Oof… I’m just gonna say that Frozen fever was inescapable back in the day to tons of kids, including me. When I was a kid, I was a huge copycat. I’d be into things because my friends were into them, and I’d plagiarize other people’s stuff almost all of the time. So, I don’t really remember if I was genuinely interested in Frozen. But apparently, I was enough to have my 9th birthday party be themed around it. Also, I remember that shortly afterwards, I had a sleepover with my friends from dance class, and we watched the movie together (not all of it). Right before we went to bed, we were all singing Let it Go as loud as we could. Frozen’s impacted my young life enough for me to take inspiration from it for Broken and Frozen. But, I agree when people say we need to warm up.

Lastly, there’s my milestone, which just so happens to be Christmas. On Christmas of 2018, I got a new computer, and my parents told me they’d set up the Wattpad account I’ve wanted since before I turned 13. I was first introduced to Wattpad after watching a video about fanfiction and reading the MC:SM Rewritten series (even though it’s now inactive). I talked about the weird little things I liked in real life, but while people listened, I never felt like they really knew what I was talking about. I started uploading my random thoughts, characters and stories to Wattpad, and I started making friends with people who were interested in the same things as me. When I did that, I really felt understood. The same happened when I joined DeviantArt in 2019, and for a while, it was just those two. Later on, in 2021, I hopped on Tumblr, YouTube and AO3. Then came Discord, and most recently, Amino. I was and still am fiercely loyal to my creations and my pals online. Through my high points and my mess-ups, I’ll want to connect with my closest friends and mutuals whenever I can. I’ve found enjoyment in lots of things, and I’ve come so far in terms of developing my artistic skills. When online, I found it easier to connect with people because I could more easily seek out people I had things in common with. What’s especially important to me is that connecting in this way is how I met one of my best friends ever, and while on my trip, I got to see them in real life. I hope it happens again someday. It’s not good to be chronically online, of course. But, being here has helped me discover myself and find peace within this world in ways you can’t even imagine. To everyone I’ve ever interacted with, thank you for five wonderful years!

Wow! This sure was a lot. To everyone I’ve ever befriended and followed over these things and others, and to everyone who followed me, I can’t thank you enough for being here! You guys are the reason I keep logging in almost every day and why I’m still on my feet. Especially you, Hino! Thank you so, so, SO much!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! 🎆💜🖤🦇

Hiiya there I'm participating in your game Archetype, extremely pumped up like always fresh ideas and beautiful games. Here's my information

Initials: SG

Nickname: Asteria

My go to tips : To chunk out things to solve any problem, complete the task the day it is given and understand the root of why you tend to procrastinate.

Answer to your question: Ok I think I'll be a panda because my temperament is similar to that of a panda, extremely lazy..a big foodie and I'm wise too. Atleast I think so. I believe that pandas are unique and so am I.

That's all I'm hoping that I've followed all the rules ✨️

Thank you ✨️✨️

Hi SG/ Asteria,

Thank you so much for participating in my ARCHETYPE ask game.

I love how straightforward your suggestion is!

Awww pandas are so adorable and just irresistible!

So let’s get to your cards, shall we: XIX the Animal, 9 of Swords, Lovers

So the archetype that you are encouraged to embody is the ANIMAL.

Right off the bat, I heard Katy Perry's Roar in my head when it came to your reading. I did not expect to pull this card when I decided on the theme of the questions in this ask game~ LOL

Like every song that has an animal theme, this archetype encourages you to release any inhibitions and let your inner beast out!

Usually when humans talk about "inner beast", it's about letting go after societal expectations to conform and just let yourself be unapologetically yourself!

Be who you want to be, not what you're expected to be.

Eat whatever you want to eat(in moderation; except for your allergy related foods, obviously), so it that dang cookie, take a bite at that pizza, go sit your pretty self in the couch and enjoy that tub of ice cream! Don't just eat to sustain yourself, just to sate your hunger. Eat intuitively, so that this can help you be in tune with your own body.

Dance in the rain(just make sure to take a hot shower and put on clean dry clothes afterwards, okay?)

Go run that marathon! (Just make sure to physically and mentally train yourself, a few weeks or months prior, okay?)

Do whatever makes you feel alive(hopefully, not the dangerous stuff. If you're more of a risk taker, safety first, okay?)

So the actionable steps that you are encouraged to incorporate in your life are establishing healthy coping mechanisms and learning to receive and ask for help and assistance when you know you need it.

This concludes the end of your reading.

Do let me know how this resonates.

Feel free to send me some love and support via my Buy me a Coffee Link here.

Always remember, this reading is for entertainment purposes only. What you do with this information is up to your free will. Take care always, okay?

Day 3 of Redacted “What Ifs”- Mafia au (part two)

(LONG POST- the first two paragraphs were copy and pasted from part one)

So this was very widely requested, which I was NOT opposed to. Except for the fact that the only couple I had in mind was Gavin and FL. SO- Imma try to explain how I have the main groups set up first, then I’ll explain the individual character’s roles, and after that, I'll Explain how each of the couples met.

The Damn Crew is their own group of freelance mercenaries (Ik I’m so funny). They don’t belong to any clans or packs, they just get hired for different jobs and collect their money. The Shaw Pack is one of the bigger mafia groups as well as The Solaire Clan. Usually, packs and clans don’t get along with each other that well (woah werewolf and vampire drama) but, when David was a kid, Gabe established a peaceful friendship with The Solaire Clan (Gabe and William were buddies).

Also- I’m very sorry for procrastinating. It was the first week of summer for me and I was either very busy or sleeping off the burnout. Enjoy part two!

The Damn Crew was last time, today is The Shaw Pack.

Milo- Whether He’s in his wolf form or not, this man is RUTHLESS to whoever he comes across. He’s protective of his pack and doesn’t trust anyone (a lot less than he does in the og storyline). He prefers his wolf form, though he only gets to use it on certain occasions for jobs. Apart from being emotionless on the job, he’s his usual self in any other situation. After warming up to SH, he would be the biggest softie around them. Personally, I’d think that he would shift a lot more at home since he likes it better. So I can just imagine Milo and SH cuddling with Milo in wolf form and SH buried in his fur.

Sweetheart- Okay so I genuinely can’t see them being anything BUT a badass. Even more, than they are in the og storyline. I’d see them as a spy or hitman instead of a detective. Unlike other hitmen, they’d want to find out more about their target before they pursue anything. They're the kind of people to be in it to make the world better. The money is an added bonus to them. Usually, if they find nothing about the person, they'll let the person know anonymously that someone has it out for them. Otherwise, they'll quickly and quietly make work of their target. Ofc, they're the silent killer type- c'mon they're a stealth!

Asher- He works more on selling the goods. Ofc he'll help organize hitmen and send people off to be taken care of, but for the most part, he makes sure that the things he's selling go to where they need to go. Otherwise, he leads a fairly normal life. For the most part, he prefers to keep Baabe and his job separate. The first person in the pack to know abt him and Baabe was David because- hello? Davids the alpha!??!? Ofc he'd be the only one to know for a while. Only once Milo shared he had a partner in the business, Asher shared he also had a partner with the rest of the pack.

Baaabe- They lead a pretty normal life, they work an office job and have a few jobs on the side. Because of how many jobs they have and the fact they're still in college working towards a doctor's degree in teaching, they're always high on caffeine. It took meeting Asher for them to quit one of their jobs and actually get some sleep. Though, they still try to sneak in a few extra hours of work time. Asher usually finds out and then they both fall asleep on the couch together.

David- The man is pretty much his original character, except a lot colder. That’s honestly all the character’s personalities for this one but, it's fine I'm not being redundant (I hope). Anyways, he's the same guy around his pack with the tsundere asshole vibes. To business partners, he tries not to show any weakness. Best way to say this is that this man has got walls put all the way up to anyone except his pack. Though, around William it’s different. The Solaire clan has been like a second family to him and the pack, especially since Gabe passed. David might be a little more distant to William than he was to his dad, but both he and William tell each other almost everything. To say the least, William is like a second dad without even trying. He’d never replace Gabe, nor would he want to, but when the other needs them, they’ll be there.

Angel- This mf is like the oblivious kinda guy that walks into traffic but instead of cars, it's the mafia. Their friends are somewhat in the business, and therefore Angel is always getting themselves into the stupidest shit. The funny thing is- they’re always very oddly calm about it.

“Yo, wake up, we kidnapped you”

“Huh? Oh. cool.”

“Aren’t you gonna scream or something?”

“Nah, this happens pretty regularly. I have a presentation tomorrow so I can’t go damaging my pretty lungs.”

Once they meet David, though the conversation goes more like this:

“Hey kid, wake up, we’re gonna kill you”

“Hahaha very funny.”

“Wha- You’re not scared?”

“I’m sorry man, but you fucked up.”

“What do you mean?”

“You mess with me, you mess with the alpha of the Shaw pack.”

“You’re kidding.”

“Not unless you call the man standing behind you an omega.”

Milo and SH are gonna be the narratives for today! I thought for these posts I’d write little narratives for you guys just like I did on the last one so here you go!

Milo and Sweetheart(you)-

It’s been a few weeks since you were offered a recent job. It paid a lot, so you found yourself interested. Why would someone pay such a bounty for a singular guy? You had spent countless hours researching, stalking, and watching him. He was a werewolf. You know that much, but whether he was an innocent caught up in some shit or belonged to the Shaw pack you didn’t know.

The Shaw pack was one of the most famous packs in Dahlia. Not only were they famous in Dahlia, but also among the mafia. They were pretty good at keeping their members, except the main family, secret from the public’s eye. Only second best to the Solaire clan. Though, considering William Solaire only had two progeny and a few hundred more years of experience than David Shaw, it made sense.

You thought to yourself while waiting in his apartment. You knew how to get into places without needing a key, so it wasn’t much of a hassle to get in. Ready for him to come home you held your gun at your waist, “Maybe I got here too early…” you thought as you floated slightly over the floor. If you weren’t able to float around, you’d fall right through the floor. Surprisingly, the werewolf didn’t live with his pack, which made it easier to catch him alone. Though, it also made it harder to get into his apartment since he was on the 5th floor. It was challenging- to say the least- to sit in an elevator while incorporeal.

Finally, you heard the jingling of keys and the lock rattle a few times before the door opened. On instinct, you went Intangible, you were used to not being seen. That was your first mistake, you had given yourself away. He looked around and you got a glimpse of his expression. Poker face. You thought, “It’s now or never,” and pressed your gun against his forehead as you became tangible again. “Milo Greer, are you a part of the Shaw Pack?”

“Who the fuck are you?” Shit. He had the same adorably pissed face he usually wore when out and about.

“Answer the question,” you stared at him with the straightest face you could, “and I’ll decide whether or not to kill you.”

“Why should I?” Of course, he’s the type to push his luck with you.

“Because I have a gun pressed against your forehead, I’m skilled at stealth magic, and I might be armed with even more than just a gun.”

“You’re a stealth?” He smirked at you, you couldn’t tell how he felt about the situation.

You pressed the gun against his forehead, and he finally put his hands up, “Answer the. Fucking. Question.”

“Who's. Asking.”

You sighed, he wouldn’t give up. “If you NEED to know, I’m a hitman. But luckily for an asshole like you, I prefer to do a little research on my targets before I go ahead and kill them,” you watched the rest of him if he tried anything, “Right now, I’m deciding whether or not you’re guilty of the little crimes against a pack that my client accuses you of.”

“I’ve done a lot of things, what pack specifically?” He spoke so calmly… damn his accent was soothing.

“Can’t say. They applied anonymously. Now you need to answer my question.”

He sighed, “Yes. I am a member of the Shaw Pack.”

You could tell he was bracing himself for it, but you pulled away, getting an alcohol wipe from your pocket and hastily wiping the gun off. There was a moment of silence before you looked at him and turned around toward the door.

“Hold up,” you paused mid-step, “You’re not gonna say anything? No explanation?”

“I think it’s pretty clear,” you spoke to him, eager to leave.

“Really? Well then, why don’t you explain to me why the hell you broke into my apartment?”

You sighed again, “Like I said, Someone asked me to kill you, but I respect your pack. So, I gave you a second chance.”

He smirked, “For me? You shouldn’t have!” The sarcastic remark made you want to tell him to fuck off, but something about his expression stopped you.

“You’re not special, I do this for every target. Now can I go?”

“Fine,” you turned around and made your way to the door, “But, if you find out who’s targeting my pack, update me, sweetheart.”

You felt your face flush, but like the entire time you had been talking to him, you stayed calm, “Can’t promise anything, asshole. Though… you’re not too bad yourself,” you turned around and phased through the door. What had you just started? You didn’t know, nor did you really care. This was new and exciting. You couldn’t wait to see what this would turn into.

Asher and Baaabe-

They’d have a pretty normal meeting. Maaaybe it’s exactly the same way they met in the og story, but I’d like to think they met at a coffee shop. Typical, ik, but just hear me out- So, Baabe works at the coffee shop part-time, and Asher likes making coffee runs for the pack every once in a while. By the fifth time, Baabe had memorized the orders everyone usually got and as soon as Asher walked in, Baabe had already rung his order up. After a while, they began to mutually flirt with each other and Asher got Baabe’s number. It took a while for them to find a good day for a date because both of their schedules are insane, but when they finally did, they got to know each other better. Specifically, Asher decided to tell them all about the Shaw pack and that he was a werewolf. This man did not hesitate one bit once they were alone either. (It’s why we love him though)

David and Angel-

Angel being the dumbass they are is always getting into shit because of a past with a few hitmen or whatever. So, when David and Angel meet, it’s a little chaotic. Angel seems way too calm and that freaks David out. This time Angel actually gets hurt and is scared stiff since, miraculously, that's never happened before. David finds them hiding, with a shot leg after everything is over with, and reluctantly takes them to his house. Angel had been in and out of conscience for a while after that. The week or so following that, David and Angel got to know each other and Angel got to see David’s soft side. Eventually, they had to part ways, but Angel eventually found ways to see David more and scored a date with him. From there it’s pretty much the same, with Angel being a dumbass every once in a while and getting caught by a hitman or two again.

THAT'S ALL JESUS THAT TOOK A WHILE

Again, really sorry for this coming so late, things got really crazy there for a second and if I wanted to post part two I really shoulda started with the Solaire clan but whatever- HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOYED THIS HAVE A GREAT DAY :DDDDD

I was tagged by @thatbluelight!

writing questions tag game

what is your absolute all-time favorite idea you’ve ever had?

the last idea I had

what is your favorite part of being a writer? which parts could you take or leave?

oh, god, my absolute favorite part is hanging out in a world I get to create with a bunch of people I like and making them so happy. That sounds very abstract, so I'll say that I love to write dialogue, I love to write a good argument, and I love to write afterglow scenes. I also love whenever a moment happens that makes me love a character I'm writing because then I think, oh, good, it makes sense their love interest will also love them. That doesn't always happen, but usually there's a moment when they click into place in a story. I usually keep writing until I find it, tbh. This is why I write my characters' random interactions in so much detail and seldom fade a conversation to black, because I'm looking for that moment of connection. I see writers sometimes say they don't like writing, they like having written, but I actually really enjoy the writing bit. My favorite thing is when I can clear a day and just sit and write (as long as I'm in the middle of a story that I'm enjoying). I just wish I could do it faster than my fingers let me type. (someone's going to tell me that's what AI is going to do or something)

The parts I could take or leave: editing, which I despise doing so much that I have written whole entire new novels in order to avoid editing, so at least it's productive procrastination; plotting, which I hate so I just never do it hahaha my theory is the characters will do what they want and it will all work out in the end; outlining, which I also never do, because see previous point; writing sex scenes, which just feel like they're so hard to make new (same with kiss scenes, too, tbh); describing things (probably connected to the previous point).

what is your greatest motivation to write/create?

I write the things I want to read, because nobody else wrote them first and so I decide I have to do it.

what do you wish you knew when you first starting out writing?

that it's okay to have your own style and to lean into it, instead of trying to sound like other people and follow "rules" about how writing and stories need to go. There's no such thing as a universal "rule" for writing.

Unless that rule is epithets. Honestly, yeah, the only universal "rule" for writing is avoiding epithets. Unless you're Homer, I guess, so yeah, I guess there really are no universal rules.

what is your favorite story you’ve written to completion? link it if you’d like and can!

absolutely impossible for me to name. It's always the last one I've happened to read. Last night, to keep myself awake until midnight (which is ordinarily way past my bedtime), I read "Keep the Car Running," because someone had just left a comment on it, and I was like, ...wow, this fic is pretty awesome, I did all that plotting????? lol also Arthur is SUPER charming, Idk, I think I knew at the time how much Arthur was my favorite when I was writing Inception but I feel like it REALLY SHOWS hahahaha I think I just always really show which one is my favorite????? do I?????

anyway, yeah, they're all my favorites if I've finished them. If I didn't love them, I didn't finish them.

what is your favorite out-of-the-box quote?

I have no idea. Hmm. I don't think I quote myself very much. Except for when I inadvertently do, which I know I do all the time. But I just said that I was reading KtCR last night, so here's an exchange I particularly enjoyed as I was reading it, Idk:

Arthur ripped a page out of his moleskine, still ignoring Eames steadily with that talent he had for it, and handed it to Mycroft.

Mycroft shifted from surprise to startlement. “What’s this?”

“My list of crimes you should be worrying about before you worry about dreamsharing.”

“Arthur is always literal when it comes to list-keeping,” Eames told him.

Mycroft lifted his eyebrows at the list of crimes and then said, “I may have owed you a Savile Row suit but I’ve allowed you to keep a Titian, so I think we’ll call it even, don’t you?”

“What makes you think we have a Titian?” asked Eames innocently.

“The fact that he’s your favorite painter,” Mycroft said to Arthur drily.

Arthur said, “Your intel on me is terrible. I like the modernists. Good, sharp, clean lines. Not a lot of fuss.”

Mycroft lifted his eyebrows. “Says the man wearing three different patterns at once,” he remarked, casting an eye over Arthur.

“And wearing them well,” said Arthur mildly. “Not like when Eames does it.”

Mycroft crumpled up Arthur’s list and tossed it to the kitchen table and said, “I haven’t time to quibble over why you’re really here. Name your price for how much it will take for you to go.”

“Arthur and I are rather flush at the moment,” said Eames. “Made a killing off a government job.”

Mycroft scowled at them and looked about to say more except that the door opened downstairs.

which of your characters would you say has the most controversial mindset? why do you say so and how do you personally feel about their ideals?

hmm. I don't really know! Oh, you know what comes to remind recently? Patrick in "Next Christmas." When Patrick breaks up with Pete after they get together, I was really worried people wouldn't understand where he was coming from and wouldn't forgive him for it. I worked really hard to justify what he was doing, to make him make sense, and also to make it make sense that Pete would forgive him, that it wouldn't seem ridiculous of Pete to take him back. I wrote that scene in Patrick's apartment several times, trying to get it right. And I wrote the scene on the front steps of Annie's house several times as well. Hopefully it all worked.

if you, when you first started writing, met you now, what would younger you think?

Fall Out Boy? The band with the antler video?

But no, seriously, I was like six years old when I first started writing, so younger me would think A LOT of things probably.

I think mostly she would be surprised I decided not to work harder at being a writer for a career, but I also think, well, she'll get it eventually. Because she's me lol

I tag anyone who wants to do this, please steal it!!!

What do you think would be cathal favorite video games?

I kinda see them playing chill games like stardew valley or animal crossing

HELLO ANON!! I'm finally getting to answering this!! For the second time, since my old response got deleted...

Spamtoon and I actually talked about what games the managers would like to play before!!! Though, it was more of a jokey convo, it got me thinking about Gamer Cathal and Of Course Half Of It Is Me Projecting But It Has Its Reasons

He WOULD definitely play games like that!! Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, Minecraft, maybe even Tomodachi Life? All games with no end-goal, that you can play for a long, long time... You set your own goals or just chill around.

The way they would play MC is on peaceful mode only, but not because Cathal is afraid of fighting, but because it's just... Man. Too annoying. Energy consuming. Would rather chill and walk around the world and explore and build stuff.

Stardew does have it's own goals, but you can keep playing for a long time after those are achieved, and you can play however you want

Just games you can play for a long time at your own pace (haha) where you aren't rushed... Where you don't have much punishment maybe aside from Animal Crossing if you don't play it often. Something that's not a burden and can just be turned on while you turn your brain off and procrastinate on other things (Cause I for sure played a shit load of Stardew Valley during online school back in 2020-2021)

I also projected on them that they'd like certain old pet games, specifically Finfin and Petz. You don't do anything with them... You sit there and look after or literally just WATCH a little fictional creature!! Don't gotta do anything, and just chill... Speaking of Petz as someone who occasionally mods it I have PLANS

From Spam's convo we also jokingly said he "speed runs" random flash games - except he doesn't at all. He plays something for 5 minutes and days hang on I'll be right back and then he naps for 6 hours while the timer is still on and he submits it like that and since he's the only one to have speedran it he just automatically gets first place

But tbh a lot of flash games are kinda relaxing and just chill too, I think he'd enjoy those as well

He defo enjoys more games as long as they're not too physically exhausting with the controls and require TOO much interaction. They might just watch a gameplay video of those. He defo doesn't like just "relaxing" games but liking to watch something is different from playing it yourself

I could go into more detail with how he'd play some of these games since these are games I've played myself so I know them - but I rambled on for long enough now - but feel free to send more asks because at least at the moment there's nothing for me to do and this helped me pass the time a bit LOL. Love talking about the silly.... Cathal :]

Writeblr Interview Tag!

Thanks for the tag @darekasama

Tags: @teamarine777 + open tag!

Get on my tag list here

Short stories, novels, or poems?

Short stories are my good night and good morning stories. And I absolutely love to read novels. I loved to write short stories as a child, now I prefer to work on one big project, which is currently almost novel sized (Just need a few thousand more words!)

What genre do you prefer reading?

I love Sci fi and Horror mixed with romance (I am a ✨monsterfucker✨). Scientific literature is also embedded deeply into my heart. I swear I can feel my intelligence leveling up, like the green bar in The Sims, lol.

Are you a planner or a “write as I go” kind of person?

I'm a planner. Before I began writing The Robotic Era, I wrote down every major thing that's gonna happen and every single idea that came to my mind.

What music do you listen to while writing?

I don't listen to any music. Thoughts are like noise to me. So when I write, I can't have more actual noise in my ears than in my head. Music is more like a tool to block inside and outside noises.

Favorite books/movies?

I just finished 21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari a few weeks ago. I really enjoyed reading it! It gave me a lot of insight into our world and how we work. I really recommend it! Definitely up there with my favorites. I also read the autobiography of an African Woman a few years ago. From her childhood, when she fled from being married, to how she became a model. It is beyond me how I read a book of such size in one afternoon. Sadly I forgot what it was called.

As for movies, my favorite one is Interstellar. I also love Bumblebee, the Alien movies, the Terminator movies, Wall-E and more of the sorts. I'm also a sucker for horror, especially the classic slasher movies. While no horror movie really scares me, there was only one that ever chilled me; The Blair Witch Project. I still slept like a baby afterwards though, lol. But I guess atmospheric horror (or whatever you call it) gets me the most.

Any current WIPs?

The Robotic Era is the second book I'm working on. It's part of the Verum Series.

If someone were to make a cartoon out of you what would your standard outfit be?

I have a few personas, so I'm gonna show two of them. The one for this account and the one that I call my IRL sona.

The one for this account is just a black entity that's drawn with minimal effort.

The IRL sona is also drawn with minimal effort. It wears a black shirt with “Slapknutz” written on it three times. The text is too big for the shirt, so it always hangs halfway in the air. There's a black long sleeve shirt underneath it. The jeans are black with a chain/s attached to it. It wears black leather boots on its feet. The mustache, beard and top hat are all optional accessories.

Awww look! They're holding hands!

Create a character description of yourself:

Oh no… Oh nooo… I'll just do appearance and personality, you don't need to know much more than that, lol. Well, actually, you don't need to know anything about me, since I'm just here to write, technically. But oh well…

I'm gonna do this in first person though, since any other way would feel a little weird.

Man, that would just be me talking about myself, fuck. Now stop yapping, me, and tell something about yourself! (Is this procrastination?)

Appearance: Everything about me is loooong. My hair (which reaches just past my butt), my legs, my fingers, my nose, my forehead, my clothes (always long jeans and sleeves), hell, even my toes are fucking long for some reason! My clothes are always black and a friend always calls me a “langer, schwarzer Strich in der Landschaft” (long, black line in the landscape), also because of how tall and thin I am. My skin is pale, my hair is brown and my eyes are green brown (in a certain lighting I think they are a shade of unhealthy piss, lol), there's not much more color to me than that. Except for the band T's that I always wear, the pictures on it often have color. When you see me, it's pretty obvious that I'm a metalhead. A coworker once told me that I look like a “badass elf”.

Personality: I did a Myers-Brigg personality test a few years ago and it said that I'm an INFJ, but Idk if it was/still is accurate.

The first thing that I always say is that I am a creative person. I think my creativity is what makes me me, without it, I'm dead. Then there's curiosity, I love to learn about all kinds of fields of science. This is also were a lot of my inspiration (as a Sci fi author) comes from. I'm very quiet. I went to a LGBTQ place thingie once (been there before, but that was the first time alone). I sat there for three hours and said nothing, couldn't say anything. I was told by a guy that he had never met such a quiet person as me. I do like to talk, but I'm horrible at it when there's a group of people. I also need a person that is more talkative than I am.

I really like to work. I don't feel like I am, but I've been told that I am a very trustworthy and punctual individual. If I have a job, I will finish it with good quality. Though I think that's just a basic trait that everybody should have. I feel like I am almost a perfectionist, but if something frustrates me too much, I will give up/leave it be.

I also constantly daydream and listen to the music in my head. I truly live in my own world, while still functioning normally in the real one.

This monday, a person told me that I remind them of Ozzy Osbourne, something about “the way I'm standing there”. She said it makes her think of that one video.

Ok, this is already wayyyy to much…

Do you like incorporating actual people you know into your writing?

Nope, never done it.

Are you kill happy with your characters?

Ohhhh yes! People die in most parts of TRE.

Coffee or Tea while writing?

Coffee makes me nauseous, but I like tea! Drink it every morning and evening.

Slow or fast writer?

I'm rather slow. I'm slow in everything that I do, actually.

Where/who/what do you draw inspiration from?

Science and random other things that I encounter in the world. Sometimes characters and other things randomly appear in my head though. Just today, while on the bus, a robot that I have never seen or thought about in my entire life just appeared in my head. Who the fuck are you and what do you want? You look cool, but please let me forget you, I already have way too many robot characters.

If you were in a fantasy world, what would you be?

Like fantasy fantasy? I'd be a scientist, doing my science stuff, like staring at the stars, thinking about atoms and electricity, making hydrochloric acid and finding uranium for fun. But then the church starts to think I'm doing witchcraft and burns me at the stake :(

Most fav book cliche:

I have always liked reading books where the MC is absolutley traumatized, depressed and suicidal with a future love interest that absolutley hates them. Fuck, suffering tastes good!

Least favorite cliche:

Misunderstandings/miscommunication. Just fucking talk to each other, idiots!

Favorite scene to write?

I kind of enjoy writing dialogues where two characters are just having some fun. Something that's lighthearted with a little teasing and some non serious bickering

Reason for writing?

Science and having to let everything out of my brain before it gets overfilled, stuff falls out and gets lost.

my art process

it still amazes me how a blank canvas can turn into a concept from your head like woah there hands and brain thank you for cooperating during this crucial time in my life /hj

if anyone's curious about my art process, i'm gonna put it down below (otherwise, just scroll past pls i'm mostly just rambling) this is not a guide. i repeat, this is not a guide (￢з￢)

ok, first let me let you this. sometimes my last few braincells work and i actually sketch out a concept straight from my head, but most of the time i just get inspired by a random editorial pic i find on pinterest or a movie scene that i find interesting and then just start with that. be warned that my process is pretty messy and probably only makes sense to me [lmao] but this is how i usually do it so...

i'm gonna use my most recent art for ref which was inspired by a ghost in the shell movie scene. first i sketch the character placement into the scene, then i move on to the bg. i loosely paint the background in one layer first, then paint the additional background details on a separate layer (in this case, the ceiling...holes?? yeah those holes with the light coming in)

i keep going and add in the rest of the background details as much as possible before i draw in the characters: glass panels, lights, wires. once i'm kinda satisfied with the background, i start to add the characters. i usually just paint them in a single layer, except for when some additional elements that need to be in the front/back of the character come into play.

in the case with kdj, i drew him in one layer, the wings on a separate layer, and the wires on another, so it would be easier for me to modify them as needed without messing up the kdj layer. for yjh, i just painted him in a single layer since it's only just him sulking lol

[also, whenever i feel like the character placement/scaling is off, i'm not afraid to resize the necessary layers because i know i can just correct the bad resolution by painting over it]

then i add a bit of lighting/shadow elements on the characters (don't come to me for this bc i don't have a solid grasp on that either. i swear i'll diligently study it someday but for now i just put in whatever feels "right" lmaoooo)

when i'm satisfied with how the characters look, i add in more small details that i hope could make the piece a bit more interesting and not too flat: glass reflections, floor texture, yjh's shadow, and some light reflecting off the cement floor

another thing i added was the bloom effect on a duplicate layer of the copy-pasted canvas. then i lowered the opacity for the bloom layer so it wouldn't look too severe, just the right kind of ambient glow from the lights and kdj's coat. ok that's about it. i could stop there BUT...

personally, i like to do a bit of post-processing after. this part takes a lot of experimenting and this is really the part i enjoy the most, especially when playing around with the colors to really set the mood for the illustration. for this one i...

added a layer for grainy texture and set it to soft light at 9% opacity

copy-pasted the entire canvas then duplicated it before adding a gradient map for the dupe layer then setting it to color dodge at 24% op (just to give it a bit of color and not make it look to desaturated like it originally did)

added an additional color dodge layer to brighten up the lower part of the canvas a bit

and that's how i usually make my art ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

sometimes it takes me only a couple of hours, sometimes times it takes days when i'm procrastinating a piece, and sometimes i just completely give up and trash an entire concept lol yeah it's fun and can be frustrating but i like that it shuts my brain up for a while and keeps me from thinking about awful stuff. idk maybe that's just me idk idk

if you've made it this far in my post, wow, i really appreciate you for sticking around through my yapping /srs ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

60-69 for the fanfic writer ask

(curious about my fic habits?)

Joey it's always a PLEASURE to have you in my inbox 🥰

60. Have you had a writer you admire comment on your fic? What was that like?

Yes!! I'd literally just gotten done reading their fic and leaving a long comment when their name popped up in my inbox - we'd both been reading each other's stuff at the same time. We actually hit it off outside of AO3 and while we don't talk a lot, it's always a quality conversation when we do.

61. Why do you continue writing fics?

Because I can't shut up and unfortunately keep unearthing things I have to process lmfao

62. Thoughts on cliffhangers?

Ehhhhhhhhhh I can take em or leave em usually. If they're done well, I really enjoy them! On the other hand, I am usually a binge reader and the abrupt stop can be a little disorienting.

63. Something you hate to see in smut.

HHHHH okay so this is a recent bugbear and sorry @ BG3 writers I love you all very much but "inappropriate use of grease spell" because grease makes me think of nasty restaurant fryer oil and it just takes me immediately out of a porny mood sorry

64. Something you love to see in smut.

Explicit consent that's not ye olde "I consent/I consent" talk, gods!! There are so many ways to express a "hell yeah" without sounding like a wannabe lawyer and I eat that shit up. Little looks? Nods? A second's hesitation and eye contact before going for it? Sign me the fuck up I'll take twenty

65. Tell us about what you’re most looking forward to writing – in your current project, or a future project

My fantasy novel, The Ashen Earth! It's my project for after I'm finished with my self-imposed writing break this month. I've been gnawing on its bones for aaaaaaages now and I finally feel like I have a good enough handle on my skills and the plot to really dive in.

66. How do you deal with writing pressure (ie. pressure to update, negative comments, deadlines, etc.)?

Procrastination 😂 Deadlines are rough but manageable for me, and I can usually hit them unless depression/burnout/illness hits me first. Negative comments and pressure to update? I get real cunty in a friend's DMs about it before saying a kind "no <3" in public (the exception is when a friend comes @ me with "hey, update, I have a mighty need" - I'll usually bend over backwards to finish something if I know I have a dedicated reader who I can ask for specific feedback)

67. Do you prefer prompts and challenges, or completely independent ideas?

Both have their merits! Honestly I prefer working on both at the same time - prompts/challenges give me some constraint, and working within those leaves some other part of my brain open for better independent ideas.

68. What, if anything, do you do for inspiration?

Music! My inspiration comes from literally everywhere and anywhere, but music most consistently. I love songs with lyrics, I love instrumental songs I have to tease a story out oof.

69. What work of yours, if any, are you the most embarrassed about existing?

I actually had to think on this one and I don't believe I'm embarrassed about any existing. There are a few I'm embarrassed about existing in their current form, because I could do them more justice with my current skills, but they're not embarrassing just for being there.

Text

Finishing up her breakfast, the plate would be rinsed under some warm water, before promptly placed in the dishwasher, noting on the chart to get them done once she came back. Things were beginning to start moving, and the small world created in the realm of their messages was going to have to be placed in the back of her mind until they returned. If it were up to Ayaka, she would remain eager in her texting pursuits, but given the fact that he was tired, with no recent rest, giving the attractive singer some time to himself, to know he was able to recouperate before the show for tonight, would set her heart at ease.

'That actually sounds quite nice, lol. Do you have any favourite snacks in particular?'

There would be no judgement from her end, especially since her discovery of just how good pizza could be led her down a path of having it almost every other day at one point in time, and not a single soul except Ayato was aware of that fact. The truth of the matter is that Kamisato Ayaka found it very hard to make friends, so a shine of light over tidbits of information pertaining to small, momentary unhealthy choices would only make it harder. These aspects of her character were not disliekd by her, but remaining on the air of caution always seemed to be the best boat for her to sit in.

'Sometimes, if I find it hard not to procrastinate, I'll indulge in a few energy drinks myself. It's easy to lose concentration sometimes.'

A diligent worker she may be, but remaining on task when cooped up within the walls of her office was an entirely different ordeal. The heat rising to her cheeks at the following question left her metaphorically fighting for her life. Was it that obvious, or was it a mere gamble? Figuring out how to play this without making herself seem like a moron became an impossibility.

'I don't think you'd have it in you to tease, Itto.'

'I meant to say your messages come across quite playful.'

Saved by the last minute ramblings happening in the back of her mind, a celebration happening from within the depths of her soul. If she was to be honest with herself, the idea of the band's singer teasing her was one that she quite enjoyed, but that was a fantasy coaxed by the differing titles they held in life. It was not uncommon for people to have loud, open crushes on celebrities, and he woukd be no exception to that rule. An attraction that spirals between a celebrity and a fan that has no intimate detailing of their life is perceived so normally, taken with pinches of salt each time. Ayaka was just as bad, perhaps worse now that she had contact with him.

'I'm just glad you aren't uncomfortable by it. I feel immense relief -- and cute? definitely not the right word!'

'And, um, I'll take up the offer of having that video.'

A final expression of just how flustered that got her responding a bit more defensively, with a desperate need to slide past just how nonsensical it had been of her. Being so greedy was unlike her forte, but when the offer is there, the time to strike is prominent. However, the lacking social skills were coming to light (at least, she assumed so), unravelling a new fear in her brain -- how would he take to her nonexistent circle of friends? -- the opposition to that was, wasn't she just jumping through far too many assumptions to count? Were they going to be friends? Was this a mere momentary fix--?

Calm down for a moment.

'You... want to save that picture of me?'

Was that her heart fluttering?

'Of course you can, it is only fair.'

'I'll tell you the nickname I come up with after the concert. Do I have the face of a princess? lol, you're cute.'

Complimenting him was easy. Very few individuals were able to leave her yearning to demonstrate appreciation for their talents, yet, Itto had struck that chord quicker than anyone else before. Acknowledging people's capabilities was always a good thing, but there was a great deal more under the surface with the stylish singer. He had an adoring personality hidden underneath the face that made his band, holding a respectable disposition among his fans, as well as an uncanny number of fanfiction writers at the ready, pairing some of the members together over minor interactions. While to her it was entertaining, there was a wonder as to whether or not he knew about it.

Beautiful models on his arm were not uncommon in photos, but there was a lost spark somewhere. Translated through the messages he was sending was an exciting spark, something photos of him with these women lacked. A period of time existed where she envied them, wishing the chance would be bestowed to her. Being able to be a friend to him would be enough for her, even with the crush harboured. She would be able to keep her hands and words to herself, remainig purely platonic.

Could she trust herself to do that?

'The deal will stay on, then. Hopefully, you'll find me right away.'

The wording of his text sent her into a state of overdrive, forcing her to splash cold water on her face in her bathroom. She was truly hopeless, wasn't she?

---

Anxiety. Pulverising anxiety invaded every crevice of thought, eagerly pushing her to remain in the comfort of her room. The sky was dark, decorated with the wondrous stars that guided her to the concert venue with ease, watching over every decision made about tonight. Sticking on a simple black dress and four inch heels, her hair would remain in its signature ponytail, trying not to overdress for the occasion. The kicker? Ayaka had never been to a concert before and had no idea what to expect. Videos from previous held events hadn't provided any help. The fashion pieces within held no semblance to anything she personally owned, and it had been to late in the day to find a new wardrobe.

Remaining three rows from the back, centred in the middle, a sense of discomfort would sit in the pit of her stomach. Cheeks would remain flushed, and she was suddenly wishing she had brought a hoodie of some kind. Seeing him appear on the stage was an entire new feeling altogether, leaving her to take the form of a statue as her nerves boot themselves into the highest gear possible. Thoma's presence on the stage was a blissful sight to behold. He looked as though he was glowing, a truly beautiful vision.

Itto, on the other hand, was huge.

He stood like a tower, with that fact alone making it difficult for her jaw to close. Breathing easy, the show would begin, her eyes transfixed on him the whole time, only occasionally looking away as to not make it obvious she was practically gawking at him. Some part of her felt so small, carried by the sweetness of the overall atmosphere of people bouncing around.

'A lot of us survive on junk food and energy drinks while we take stuff down and get the bus ready to take off.'

He didn't think it was a big deal, every member of the band was healthy, so what if they had a few unhealthy habits while dealing with taking the decorations down, and packing their instruments? Thoma and the Oni himself made sure the others didn't get too hyped up on those drinks, but they didn't really stop the consumption of junk food itself, as they were just as guilty as the rest of the guys. Would he admit that most of the packing work was done by himself and Thoma? That was doubtful. Of course, at this point in time he wasn't aware that she and Thoma knew one another himself.

When she messaged Thoma, she'd get a response to her text within a moment more than likely. Even as a bandmate he was as diligent as ever. Should she question how he kept up his response would likely just simply be 'Haha well you know me, as diligent as ever.' or something along those lines. At least she'd know he was doing well, the band was fairly popular even if it wasn't a 'mainstream' name but they weren't making music for fame and fortune, they were doing it because they loved it. Should the singer ever find out that Ayaka had actively stalked him to some extent he might find it endearing rather than creepy.

'Maybe you did, though, why is it I feel like you want me to tease you to some extent?'

He knew that there were fans who got off on that sort of thing but just going off what they'd talked about already he didn't seem to think she was that kind of person. Of course, he COULD be wrong since they'd never actually spoken to one another out loud. Her thoughts about him being humble would be correct, even growing up wealthy, to a pair of powerful parents, he never let his wealth get to his head. He treated even those he knew were less off than he was with the respect they were due. Or the respect they'd earned. He was many things but a bully had never been one of them regardless of how he'd grown up.

'Endearing, huh? That's a new one. I don't mind it though.'

He'd have no idea that the poor woman was panicking or that her skin felt like it was set ablaze. The thing about him was that he knew accidents could happen, especially if one had a large gallery on their phone. She was by no means being judged for her accidentally sent suggestive little video. He'd offered to send her one of himself, with his voice and everything, and he meant it too.

'Well, I wouldn't have offered if I merely felt like I had to give a little video in response. The fact that you seem so... worried about me judging you is kind of cute, actually. I'm not, for the record.'

'I understand that accidents happen, now if the video had been one where you were naked then I'd be judging you, those aren't sent on accident.'

Clearly he was speaking from experience, someone had likely done as such to him in the past. As the image she sent came in, he'd let out a small hum. Yeah, it was obviously the same woman from the little video. Seeing her actual face made him think that the nickname he'd given her suited her. She had the air of a princess to him. Just going by the image itself.

Like her, he wasn't fond of photo shoots, though he didn't do them nearly as often as she likely had to. he was often thrust into dual shoots with other people, typically women who the publicist they USED to have felt matched him well. Not that he was interested in them. Every magazine that had anything about Menace within the pages would be sure to specify that the singer was completely single. He'd type out a message for her before he made any attempt to save her picture to his phone. He'd given her permission to save his picture but he'd not asked her permission yet.

'Is it alright if I save the photo?'

He made no mention of the video, while he could just as easily have saved that he hadn't. He was respectful and she was going to learn that soon, if she wasn't already aware. Thoma still held the Kamisato siblings in high regard more than likely, he probably talked about them from time to time without dropping their names. It was, in fact, due to Ayato that he'd met the Oni, and wound up joining his band as a result.

'I certainly wouldn't mind if you came up with a nickname for me, princess. With the reveal of your face I'm starting to feel that princess is very fitting for you.'

What he meant by that could be anything, but she'd know it was by no means bad. She was as pretty as a princess but he felt it'd be wrong of him to flirt with her. Especially over texts like this. The prospect of meeting her was a nice one for him to think about and he'd likely be thinking of it before eventually nodding off once he did so, too. There was something about her that seemed to be drawing him in to some extent but he couldn't quite put a finger on what that was. While she was from his hometown he couldn't recall ever having met someone like her. She was intriguing to him and he wanted to know more.

'No, none of that. I want to see you there and you can't back out of saying if I spot you that you're mine for the night, either. That's not how that works, princess.'

Funny enough he'd never been given that option by any fan in the past. No, most people merely wanted to meet him or jump his bones, but her offer for her to be 'his for the night' was a very enticing offer. He'd likely choose to spend it getting to know her, not at all how a typical celebrity or musician would spend such a thing, but he wasn't a pig and she'd very quickly learn that. Now, if things went in such a direction, he'd either turn her down politely, or go for it - but he wasn't the type of guy to bed someone and then ignore them. Not that he'd slept with anyone since becoming a musician but that was beside the point.

'I will be looking forward to hearing from you. If I'm idle, or offline I'm likely still asleep but I'll get back to you as soon as I can.'

He'd rest his phone on his chest after that, sunset eyes closing as he slowed his breathing. Some time before the concert was slated to begin, Ayaka's little account she'd used to find him would have a notification saying 'new connection request' and it was from the Oni.

---

The band would actually arrive somewhat early, which allowed them to get things at the venue set up. They'd take the time to test the sound and get everything proper. After a few hours, the concert itself was set to start, the amount of people in the audience was slightly surprising but not so much so. Shortly before the concert was slated to actually begin, the other members of the band would trickle onto the stage and take their places before the singer would make himself known.

"Good evenin' everyone, welcome to the first of a number of shows we're gonna have here. We hope ya enjoy the concert."

The voice he spoke with was very similar to the one he sang with so if she wasn't paying attention just yet, she'd have a chance to see what he looked like in person, on stage, likely just a few feet from her.

Do you see yourself getting “done” with writing fic or musings about FOB anytime soon? I’m a fan of your fantastic writing from your Sherlock days, and nearly died of glee when you found FOB as they’re my longtime favourite band. In much the same way I tried to steel myself in the lengthy post-M A N I A years for the possibility of no more new FOB, I’m steeling myself against the possibility you’ll find a new preferred fandom…either way, I love your thoughts and the words you use to share them.

Awww thank you so much! I'm so glad that I managed to tumble from Sherlock into a fandom you loved! I feel like most of my poor readers just get dragged from place to place with me!

I can honestly never predict, like, when I'll feel "done" with a fandom. With Doctor Who and Sherlock, the shows did it for me, by finally annoying me enough that I didn't really want to write in them anymore. But I have no idea why I got "done" with Inception. Like, it's not like anything *happened.* Inspiration is unpredictable for me. Tbh, I hate it. Like, when I'm loving something and I'm loving writing something, I want to just keep it just like it is forever. I hate anticipating a time when I won't feel like writing it anymore. Tbh, this is why I write so much and so quickly. I always feel like I'm writing against a ticking clock and I have no idea how much time is left on it, and can I make sure that I get everything out before I lose interest? In a little bit of fairness to me? I think? I don't feel like I switch fandoms all that often. Like, once I get in one I tend to settle down and stay there for a while. But i never have any idea how long the stay will be and it's as distressing for me in its own way as it is for all of you!

Right now I'm enjoying FOB so much and that's really nice so I'm just letting myself enjoy it. And I miss writing them a lot a lot, since I'm supposed to be editing so I'm not allowed to write, and I want to write them so badly. So that's a good thing and I hope it stays that way, I really, really, do, I really WANT it to. Honestly, it's nice to have the album cycle underway and this band actually, like, doing stuff? That's been nice and energetic hahahaha

I will say, though, because I'm procrastinating editing but I'm not allowed to write anything new, I've been procrastinating by reading over my old stuff, and I saw a Tumblr post about fics where one of the characters almost dies and inspires confessions of love, and I was like, "That's how Lucky starts," so I just re-read Lucky and...Lucky is so good! hahahah I know it's obnoxious for me to say about something that I wrote but I read it and was like, Arthur and Eames are *lovely* together, what a sweet and lovely story, there was really no reason for me to grow tired of writing them, except that I did, Idk. Just inexplicable sigh, my whims.

Incidentally, I was struck by how much Arthur and Eames are very much NOT Pete and Patrick. Like, I was trying to imagine Patrick keeping Pete alive if he was hit by a bullet during a deal gone wrong in Nicaragua and I was like, ...yeah, Patrick couldn't pull this off, Patrick's no Arthur lollolol. Good thing Eames was with Arthur and not Patrick. Really, when I wrote that Inception/FOB crossover, it would have been absolutely hilarious imagining how terrible Pete Wentz would have been at dreamsharing, no wonder I made him the client instead lol (Also, is Pete, like, actually BOTH Arthur and Eames? Like, both the flirty ridiculous character AND the incredibly competent character????)

ℝ𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕣𝕤𝕖 ℍ𝕒𝕣𝕖𝕞 𝕎𝕚𝕥𝕙 𝕊𝕥𝕣𝕒𝕪 𝕂𝕚𝕕𝕤

♩ g/n reader, this is an elaborate joke!!!! I can't stress that enough DON'T TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY PLZ

♩♩ word count: 2k

♩♩♩ A/N: 🍒requested 32 (I'm gonna do this is bullet-points cuz a whole fic would be too much cringe…even for me)

wip list here

How it all started:

You never thought something this ridiculous and unbelievable would happen to you.

But the truth was, the whole Stray Kids were in love with you.

Don't laugh yet, I know it sounds nonsensical.

The members thought the same thing at first. No exception.

After all, who would have thought that 8 people would fall in love with the same person?

But when they thought about it, it all came to this for a reason.

You were their assistant and were basically by their side 24/7 when they had schedules.

Since their debut, you have been there for the most important moments in their lives.

You laughed with them, cried with them, and went through all the storms together.

Looking back on the journey, it seemed like you were by their side all along.

Over time, it was not impossible for them to develop feelings for you.

One could even say that it was inevitable.

You were not a very sensitive person to feelings.

Or rather, you have a relatively low self-esteem.

You might have sensed the members' feelings for you, but you didn't believe it.

After all, how could such an unbelievable thing happen to you?

This kind of thing that couldn't even happen in a Mary Sue story actually happened?

Order of confession:

Chan

The reason for putting Chan here wasn't really because he took the initiative.

Rather, it was because, if another member had confessed first, he would never confess to you ever.

He is the type of person who would give up himself and make sacrifices for the sake of the members.

If he knew that another member liked you, then he would voluntarily quit.

So, I would have to put him first.

But actually, even if he didn't know that another member liked you, he was the type of person who would confess his love relatively quickly.

After all, he doesn't like to procrastinate, and there's no point in dwelling on things that have already been established.

He confessed his love by saying, "Hey, I think we are quite suitable, do you want to try a relationship? I really like you."

Mature and unpretentious, would be very responsible, can be your dependence.

Felix

Felix is the kind of person who speaks his mind, especially when it comes to relationships and doesn't like to drag his feet.

His likes and dislikes are very obvious, and the way he shows his love and affection is very forward.

In fact, there was no need to tell you directly, just through body language he was already telling you his feelings for you.

But really, it's not hard to get him to say it, as long as the timing is right, he will definitely tell you.

You don't even need to ask him, he may come straight over one day and tell you: "Hey, I've liked you for a while, want to try it out with me? We'll definitely have lots of fun every day if we're together!"

Seungmin

Similar to Felix, the type that doesn't like to drag his feet.

If he was 100% sure that he likes you, it would be a simple matter to confess his love.

But actually, what he's probably looking forward to more than him confessing his love to you is for you to confess your love to him.

But since this is reverse harem it has to be him confessing to you.

Then our scenario might be… He realizes that you are very popular and feels that if he does not confess he will not have a chance?

After all, this puppy is very smart, do not underestimate him.

The confession line would probably be… "I like you …… Hmm? You did not hear it? Then I'll say it again, I like you. I can say it as many times as needed, as long as you're willing to listen."

Hyunjin

As I've said many times, this guy is a hopeless romantic.

What's special about Hyunjin is that I feel he really enjoys the crush aspect of it.

Of course, this is only if there are no rivals.

Once he notices that there are others who are competing with him for you, then he will start his "seduction" mode.

To put it bluntly, he is trying to get you to like him back.

This is not a difficult task, after all, he is Hwang Hyunjin.

So, after he basically confirms that you have the same feelings for him, he will confess right away.

He asked you to come to the dance studio and asked you to watch him dance.

After you ask, "Why did you ask me to come watch you dance," he will answer you, "Because my dances are only shown to the people I like."

Jisung

This guy will pretend he didn't like you for a long time.

But in fact, he may have secretly been in love with you for years.

Moreover, he fell in love at first sight.

But of course he won't tell you, if he could he wouldn't tell you for the rest of his life.

Not because he wasn't confident, he just didn't feel the need to tell you.

Until that time you guys were talking about a relationship, and you mentioned that it was time to think about getting a boyfriend.

Then he immediately looked you in the eye and asked you "Why not consider me? I am good-looking and versatile, can make you happy, will never make you sad or do anything bad. I don't have any bad habits and I love to exercise, isn't that the perfect boyfriend?"

Changbin

If he realizes that he likes you, he will definitely confess.

It's just that he needs to notice that his feelings for you are not those of a friend… And that might be a little difficult.

I mentioned in this fic that Changbin was the type that would slowly fall in love with his best friend.

Your role as their assistant suits this scenario perfectly.

He probably just felt relaxed at first with you around.

Only later did he slowly start to notice that his feelings for you was love.

After finally realizing it, (perhaps while writing a love song and realizing he was thinking all about you?) Rushing out of the studio to you, grabbing you by the shoulders and telling you in an excited tone, "Y/N! I'm in love with you!" Before you could realize what he was saying, he was already continuing on with his self-talk.

Jeongin

He knows he likes you, he's just simply afraid to tell you.

But because Minho, the biggest tsundere in the universe, is in the picture, he's not last place.

What if you don't like him? Or think of him as a child? A normal friend?

You noticed him while he was pacing in the practice room in distress.

You asked him what was bothering him, and without realizing it was you, he just blurted out what was on his mind.

"I'm worried about telling Y/N that I like them."

Then his brain stops working for a few seconds.

Then it exploded on the spot.

Minho

Minho is in last place not because he is afraid to confess his feelings to you, or because he is unsure of his feelings.

He's pretty sure of his feelings and has 120% of the guts to tell you.

He just… feels a little ashamed that he fell for you first.

Like Seungmin, he wants you to confess your feelings to him first.

Like Jisung, he will never tell you that he has liked you for a long time.

But in reality, he didn't have to tell you either.

After all, to everyone's eyes, his feelings for you were obvious.

He might think he's hiding it so successfully and that no one has found out that he likes you.

But in fact, probably everyone except you knew.

"What are you talking about? I'm looking at Y/N with strange eyes? Do you want me to dig your eyes out to confirm it?"

Their reaction after knowing that everyone likes you

Chan: "Am I in a kdrama now? But even a kdrama doesn't have a plot like this, right?"

Minho: "Who said I like you? I didn't say that, you're delusional."

Changbin: "Everyone fighting for Y/N's heart together? That sounds like fun, I'll be the absolute winner in the end anyway!"

Hyunjin: "Are you kidding Changbin hyung, I'm the one Y/N likes."

Jisung: "Why do I feel like I've seen anime like this? It's just that it's usually a group of women who likes a guy, right?"

Felix: "I'll be willing to sacrafice anything else, but I'll never sacrafice anything regarding Y/N!"

Seungmin: "Why can't all 9 of us be together?"

Jeongin: (still not over the accidental confession earlier)

Anyway… Everyone started a "battle for Y/N" to become your boyfriend! (Don't ask me why everyone can't be together like Seungmin said… It's reverse harem headcanons, not poly!skz's headcanons!)

Who is the winner at the end? Because I couldn't choose a single person… So I wrote everyone's scenario!

Chan

No one had a problem with it, and everyone felt that they really couldn't compare themselves to Chan.

All would sincerely wish you two the best, after all, everyone knows what a wonderful man Chan is.

They all firmly believe that if it is Chan, he will be able to take good care of you and be the best boyfriend.

Minho

Many people have objections… But don't dare to say.

After all, you have already chosen him, and while surprised, everyone had to accept it.

But in fact, everyone was relieved, after all, they knew that Minho was actually a very gentle person.

Changbin

Everyone showed an expression of surprise …… Including Changbin himself.

But immediately there was a look of "of course it's me, it could only be me from the beginning" on his face.

In reality, everyone knew in their hearts that choosing Changbin was the right decision.

Hyunjin

"Ah, of couse had to be Hyunjin" was everyone's reaction.

It seems like everyone was prepared from the beginning that "you would choose Hyunjin".

However, Hyunjin himself was not expecting this result at all, and looked at you with wondering eyes.

Jisung

Another unexpected result, but when they thought about it, it seemed to be the right choice.

It only took about ten seconds for him to go from disbelief to taking it for granted.

There were a lot of people who were unconvinced, but you've made your choice and they're not going to fight their brother any more.

Felix

"The obvious decision, how can anyone not pick Felix?" Was the reaction of everyone.

He was the opposite of most of them, from happy at the beginning to worried later, with a lot of disbelief.

In the end, it was the other members who came together to encourage him and tell him that he would be the best person for you.

Seungmin

This was really not expected by anyone, including Seungmin himself.

He looked at you with big watery eyes and tried to find a hint of falsity in your expression, telling him that you were just kidding.

But you chose him, and there was nothing left for you to regret, and he smiled when he realized this.

Jeongin

Although this was also an outcome that no one expected, but then… He's Yang Jeongin! No one will refute it.

Except for ….. Jeongin himself. He thought you made the wrong choice and would even say it to you directly.

You had to tell him that even though his hyungs are all outstanding people, he was the one who ultimately captured your heart.
