It was hard to surprise your lover when your lover was someone who could pluck your every thought from your mind before you even realized you were thinking them, but luckily for Daniel, Armand was also someone who could get guilted into granting you back some privacy in your own head if you pushed the right buttons.
Nevertheless Daniel felt no small amount of pride when he managed to scratch together his own financial reserve to score the table in the back corner of that fancy restaurant that newly opened, the one Armand mentioned once a while ago in passing, where they would be able to create their own private bubble while warm holiday lights on the ceiling ensured a romantic atmosphere. Romantic, but not over the top so, just like it was to their taste.
The tough part was convincing Armand to hand over the reins to Daniel regarding their plans for the night. Armand had a million different things he wanted to see and do and try out around the city and his schedule was a tight one, so it took Daniel hours of sweet gentle coaxing, seven ounces of his blood and the promise of giving Armand full power of decision over their next movie night to have Armand let go of his plans for one night. Just one single little fucking night.
He almost gave it to him during their stroll along the Seine, because he could be a hopeless romantic sometimes when he felt like it and the situation called for it, and he loved the way the moonlight reflected in the water and the sound of the water lapping softly at the river bank. But tonight, the sight of the moon made Armand gloomy somehow, so Daniel decided to wait until dinner. Daniel’s dinner, that is, but Daniel would find a way to sneak some droplets of blood into Armand's wine glass, of course, and then there was always the possibility of sneaking into the bathrooms for a quick sip, a savory little drink, or of having Armand stop time so they could go at it right there at the table and–
Focus, Daniel.
They were sitting at their cozy table in the corner, under the holiday lights, Daniel’s dinner already served and ready to eat, Armand’s wine glass already spiked. Daniel wanted to wait until after they had eaten and were sated but his heart was pounding like crazy and it was T-minus-nothing until Armand picked up on his heightened heart rate and maybe just a millisecond longer than that until he’d comment on it, so. 
Here goes.
“Got something for you,” Daniel said. There was a grin on his face he couldn’t tamper down but his hands were sweaty and when he reached into his bag in a too-jerky movement to fetch The Box out of its hiding place, it almost slid right out of his grasp. But he caught it. And there it was. With a decisive little thump, he put the box on the table.
Should he get down on a knee? No, this wasn’t like that, of course. 
He was under no illusion that sticking a ring on Armand’s finger would end with them marching down the aisle in matching suits and announcing before some god-of-whatever-religion-Armand-preferred and the world that they were gonna dedicate their lives to each other till dea– 
Well, whatever. It was irrelevant until which point in time. This wasn’t that anyway.
Daniel wasn’t even religious and he didn’t give a rat's ass about matrimony, but it was a symbol and Daniel liked symbols. It represented something. Some deeper meaning, made visible the invisible and expressed the unspoken. Symbols were neat. Armand loved symbols too, loved human customs even more. He was gonna love this one especially. He would get excited over it like a kid on Christmas eve. 
Still, Daniel was nervous. “Uh,” he said. “There. You go. Heh.” He looked at the box. Looked back up at Armand. Licked his lips. “Open it.”
One perfect eyebrow lifted up to the curls that fell artfully into his forehead. Not for a second did Armand's eyes stray from him as he let Daniel take his hand when he didn’t make a move to accept his gift, as he let Daniel drop the box into his palm. He seemed amused by him. 
Finally, Armand lifted the box. He opened the box. 
Daniel's throat got dry. 
Armand examined the contents of the box.
Daniel had taken his time picking it out. He'd gone to six different jewelers, looked at close to thirty different rings until he found the right one, the perfect one. It hadn't been easy. Armand wasn’t an easy person to pick out gifts for, let alone something he was supposed to wear on his finger for an indefinite amount of time. Or like, forever. If Daniel was lucky. 
Armand already had everything for one thing, and what he didn’t have he could afford without batting an eye. Or steal it. Because there was no force in the world powerful enough to keep him from getting whatever he laid his eyes on. Armand was unpredictable, for the other. The things that caught his interest ranged between a little weird and borderline insane and there existed no algorithm in the world capable of predicting what these things would even look like. 
Armand was ancient and elegant, an aura of glamor and mystery surrounding him at all times. Armand was doe-eyed and curious and childlike sometimes, approaching the world like a ten-year-old let loose with twenty bucks in a candy store, and irritable and intemperate like a wild boar in search of its piglets at other times. He was loathsome and thrilling and irresistible at all times, of course. What kind of ring could be any match for the amalgamation of him? For the energy he exuded with every breath, with every step on the very ground that could call itself so lucky to be walked on by him? 
Daniel had found one that came close, at least. 
It was gold, with carvings along its shank and an elegant basket that held a gemstone that seemed to take on different shades of dark blue and black and sometimes even wine-red, like the color of fresh blood, depending on the angle at which you looked at it, and the lighting. The bridge looked at the same time delicate and enduring, just like Armand himself was. Daniel had sacrificed nearly three months' salary to afford it, had risked premature death by secretly measuring Armand's ring finger while Armand had been sleeping.
Now, Armand was looking at the ring. His ring. And he wasn’t saying anything. Daniel held his breath. His heart seemed stuck in his throat.
Then, Armand closed the lid. He put the box back down on the table slowly.
Armand eyed the box for a moment that seemed to stretch into hours. 
Years. 
Centuries. 
That’s how Daniel imagined immortality to feel like, when you were holding it in your palm trying to capture it, to cut it into pieces to no avail, like a rope made of lead. 
Then Armand reached for the box – or not for it, but towards it, stretched out one long perfect finger as if he couldn’t bear touch it with more than the tip of his nail and shoved it back to Daniel’s side of the table. “No,” he said.
Just that.
No.
Daniel blinked at him.
In some distant corner of his brain he was aware that his mouth was open and he must’ve looked like a demented fool to anyone paying attention. But Armand wasn’t, so Daniel couldn’t give a single fuck about whoever else might. Armand wasn’t paying attention to him. His eyes were focused on the tabletop, like the bland white tablecloth was infinitely more interesting than Daniel, or his ring box, or this thing between them and– 
“No?” Daniel repeated.
“No,” Armand confirmed plainly. 
“You don't,” Daniel said. Swallowed down excess saliva. “You don't like it?”
“No,” Armand said once more.
He reached out again, shoved the box further across the table so that it came to a rest just before Daniel’s own hand. “Take it back,” he said, finally looking at him but the neutral expression on his face was almost worse than his ignorance. “I don’t want it.” 
And that was it, Daniel thought as waiters bustled around them, as the clinking of knives and forks on plates continued around them, ignorant, uncaring of Daniel’s humiliation. His terror. That was the sound of his heart breaking. Not with a bang but with a silent whimper, and the fucking dining noises of random fucking walker-ons in the background.
“Right,” he said. “Cool. So.” He eyed the rest of the wine in his glass, suddenly desperate to down it in one go but at the same time afraid his stomach might not tolerate it at this point. He chuckled awkwardly. “I'm, uh. I'm not hungry anymore.”
Abruptly, he got up, his chair screeching against the floor. He grabbed his bag. “Okay,” he said again. “Cool. I’m gonna–”
And with that, he turned tail and ran.
For once, Armand didn’t follow.
daniel thinking armand is so in love with all things human, maybe a ring would be a nice gesture, would also make this thing between them more solid, that armand would appreciate it and maybe it would even warm him up to the idea of turning daniel. but then armand says no

btw we're dancing ever closer to a large milestone so. congrats. this is terrifying. where did you people come from. how are you still here.
#are the blogs still active#hey. hey. i'm poking you with a stick. do something.#not kpop#shut up vic#anyway i was kicking around an idea where i do like. '1k for 1k' where i post 1k of assorted drafts that died in my google drive#i'd leave it up to audience prompting but ngl i'd never get any lmfao so. it would be mostly my discretion with optional participation#it won't be for a while yet unless i can actually finish a piece for seventeen in the next six months (unlikely)#but i've been thinking about it#somehow people keep managing to find this blog which. how???#i haven't posted in a seventeen tag (purposefully) in almost a year#sorry if this is showing up in the tag btw i didn't mean to but i didn't think about it until right now and i can't edit tags rip#anyway idk where you people are coming from but you're welcome here#maybe one day i'll post writing again#i just got so averse to posting unfinished projects bc then they just. haunt me. especially if i end up needing to go back and edit#wit of the staircase and all that. i hit my stride in the second act and have to go back to fix the first#but you can't edit what's already been posted easily so. no wips leave my google drive.#plus they're mostly horridly self-serving and i'm the one being served so idk if anyone else could enjoy them#my current wip is a stress fic that developed a plot and i'm going to have to edit down the wish fulfillment if i ever post it#but that requires replacing multiple conversations and that's A Lot#anyway tag ramble over i just. think about things. wanted to check in lads.#if you're reading this i appreciate you also how the fuck did you find me#please tell me i'm genuinely so curious anon should be on no one will ever know please tell me please

twin flame bruise. (01)
Tumblr media
PART 1.
pairing: jeon jeongguk x reader, jeon jungkook x reader (yes they're different people)
plot: the jeon twins have become nothing more than two strikingly similar looking guys who share a mere home address and a last name. but in their senior year of college, the estranged twins may have found one more thing they share in common – you.
warnings: jeon twins au, possible headache bc the use of jeongguk and jung kook is v confusing (but they're different people here your honor), specific warnings will be emphasized in the actual completed fic (whenever that may be)
series index. | masterlist + disclaimers.
note: normally i don't post unfinished wips (especially ones with plots that aren't completely fleshed out yet) but this au has been sitting in my drafts since amas 2021, so i thought why not post a lil snippet and just dip right after? (p.s. please manage ur expectations bc 1. i'm too lazy to write this and 2. i have no idea where i'm going with this plot)
Tumblr media
More often than not, identical twins are actually more different than similar.
The Jeon twins are a testament to that, even going as far as to insisting they’re entire opposites instead of merely different.
Jeongguk — the older of the two by a mere seven minutes; the golden son — can’t remember the last time he and his younger brother Jung Kook — the black sheep of the family by a great margin; the problematic son — saw eye to eye. In fact, their whole lives have been a flurry of grit and determination to prove they’re not the identical twins people saw them to be; that they’re individuals, that they’re their own persons.
First it was the nicknames. Despite the differences in spelling, Jeongguk and Jung Kook sound almost exactly the same and neither twin is having that. Thus, Jeongguk became “Guk” and Jung Kook became “JK”. Anyone who calls them otherwise will earn themselves a grimace from the older twin and a scoff from the younger.
Next it was their personalities, and by extension, their forms of expression. Both twins are conventionally attractive, a commonality they can’t help but share through their genes, but each own up to the word “beautiful” in their own unique ways.
Jeongguk is the calmer of the two, the more responsible one, the reliable pillar. His stellar grades and bookish habits surprisingly go hand in hand with his eleven piercings and constant need to work out at the gym. He prefers his hair in a short, neat cut and favors studs as earrings for a generally clean look.
Jung Kook on the other hand is the more adventurous of the two, the mysterious one, the wild card. His grades are just enough to make him pass despite the fact that he rarely shows up to classes, always disappearing during periods of time and reappearing as if nothing is amiss. He prefers his long, chin-length hair slicked back so that it complements his undercut and favors hoops as well as dangling earrings for a slightly bolder look.
Despite these insistent differences, the twins still end up in the same university, in the same campus, albeit in different programs. Guk earned himself an academic scholarship into the business program their parents always pushed at, whereas JK also landed himself a scholarship through his participation in their old high school’s varsity team that allows him to pursue a sports science program.
Studying completely different majors and living in completely different parts in the huge campus, the two brothers see each other less and less with each passing year.
After their freshman year, JK stops coming home for holidays and breaks. In the middle of their sophomore year, Guk stops making excuses for his younger twin whenever their parents ask questions. By their junior year, the two brothers have become nothing more than two strikingly similar looking guys who share a mere home address and a last name.
But in their senior year, the estranged Jeon twins may have found one more thing they share in common.
Something. Someone.
You.
You’ve known JK since your first year and after that first hookup, you’ve become a regular fixture in his apartment. You fight endlessly, you make up frequently, you fuck constantly, but most of all, you care for each other deeply. Though you never really crossed the line between friends-who-fuck and something more, you know him well enough to be assured of your place in his life.
You trust him. That is, until you meet his twin.
You meet Guk in your last year of college, which opens up a whole new jar of questions. Why didn’t JK tell you about his twin brother? Didn’t he trust you? What other secrets is he hiding?
Will you just be another thing they have in common that ends up further driving the wedge between them?
Tumblr media
He’s running out of time.
Fuck, Jung Kook knew he shouldn’t have come here. No amount of money is worth the stress of putting himself in sketchy situations. Not to mention this is the longest he’s been gone and there’s no doubt that his phone is filled to the brim with your concerned texts and voicemails.
“What did Yoongi tell you about this guy?” his partner Namjoon asks him as they’re observing their client from a distance.
“Nothing,” Jung Kook replies robotically.
“Figures.”
A tense silence falls over them. Nothing like the smug, comfortable silences they shared in previous gigs. This one is more fragile, more different. Just like how this client seems more different, more dangerous.
“You still wanna go through with this, JK?” Namjoon still thinks to ask even though he already knows the answer.
The logical decision would be for Jung Kook to say no, to not risk their safety for the sake of measly profits that they only get a portion of, to walk away and forget all about the sketchy looking client. But Jung Kook has never been exactly logical.
Your face flashes through his mind, your smile, your laugh, the way you felt in his arms, the sincerity in your voice when you said three peculiar words to him, the tears you cried when he shut you out weeks ago.
Even in this tense situation, you’re all he thinks of. You’re it for him and that’s exactly why he needs to make this gig. He needs the money. He needs you.
So instead, Jung Kook replies with, “yes,” and takes a step forward.
Tumblr media
All he needs to do is take a step forward.
The front door is already open and he can already see the inside of the apartment, but for some reason Jeongguk can’t move. Maybe he’s afraid of what he might find. Or more specifically, what he might not find.
It’s been a week since he heard around campus that his twin brother has gone AWOL, and this time around doesn’t seem like one of his usual two-to-three-day disappearances. Normally Jeongguk wouldn’t meddle. After all, it’s been several months (or was it years?) since he last physically saw and talked to his own twin. But something is tugging at him this time. Something tells him this time is different.
He sighs. Then takes a step forward.
JK’s apartment looks exactly like how he remembers it, save for a few minor changes. Nothing seems to be amiss. Nothing indicates distress or disturbance, but almost everything indicates a voluntary exit. He pinches the bridge of his nose. He’s heard all the rumors about what exactly his twin does in his spare time. He once tried confronting him about it but was met with an enraged cry of, “mind your own business!” When he asked again on a particularly calm day when they were both civil with each other, the latter merely whispered a shaky, “nothing too dangerous, I swear.”
Guk paces around the modest apartment, running his hands through his hair in agitation. It’s obvious what he has to do but how exactly does he start looking for his younger brother who’s been gone for nearly three weeks? He doesn’t know where to begin, where to sit down and think. He doesn’t even know if this apartment is the right starting point.
A knock on the door. Then another one. Then a series of hard knocks followed by frantic shouting.
“I know you’re in there, asshole!”
Jeongguk lurches out of his seat and fumbles with the locks on the door. He doesn’t know if the shouting was directed at him, that whoever is outside was talking about him, or at his absent brother. The yelling continues with a mix of “open up!” and “I hate you! I hate you!” before he finally manages to open the door and is greeted with the sight of an angry, tear-stained face.
You’re panting, looking at him as if he’s the bane of your existence but that’s impossible because he’s sure he’s never met you before.
“You asshole!” you screech at him as you step forward and land punches on his chest, not noticing how it’s slightly bigger and sturdier than you’re used to. “You act all cold to me out of the blue! Disappear for three weeks, ignore my calls and texts! Then you come back and not tell me? I hate you, JK, I hate you!”
Jeongguk is bewildered and if he isn’t so distracted by your hands on his chest and your pretty eyes trained on him, he would’ve noticed how your entire body relaxed in his hold and your lips formed a pout.
“Fuck it,” you whisper.
Then you kiss him.
Tumblr media
He’s kissing you back.
You deepen the kiss, and it’s like the past three weeks of worrying never happened. The kiss is as explosive as usual, both of you so into it with passion and eagerness, and you’re just grateful he’s back. He’s safe and in your arms again. Your tongue darts out to trace his lower lips and you hear him moan appreciatively before your wet muscle feels something different. Something metal.
You pull back all of a sudden. His eyes are still closed as he tries to chase your lips but you push his chest back with narrowed eyes. He opens his eyes in a daze.
“You got a lip piercing?” Your squinted eyes land on his right eyebrow. “And another on your eyebrow?” Your eyes trace the six studs that form an aesthetically straight line on his right ear. “You look different. You cut your hair. And your arm… those tattoos…” you trail off when you spot a full sleeve tattoo on his right arm instead of the few inked doodles you remember. “JK, what’s going on?”
The name which you call him snaps Guk out of his kiss-induced haze and he finally, finally, takes a good look at you. You’re beautiful. Wait, that’s probably an understatement. You’re the most beautiful girl he’s ever seen — from your swollen lips to your arched eyebrow to your sweet, confused face.
“Who are you?” he asks. Something he should’ve done before he welcomed your lips on his.
You growl adorably in irritation and he almost kisses you again before you spit back a retort. “I’m not playing around. Be serious for once, JK.”
“That’s the thing,” he says slowly as he steps back and looks at you cautiously. “I’m not exactly JK… I’m his twin brother—“
“I told you to stop messing with me!”
“I’m not! I’m not, I swear!” He holds his hands up in surrender when you look at him threateningly. “I’m his twin brother, Jeongguk, but I mostly go by Guk. I’m sorry my brother never told you about me but I’m sure he has his reasons.”
Your eyes narrow even further. “What are you implying? If you’re saying he— Are you saying he doesn’t trust me?”
“That’s not what I meant. Look, I’m sorry, I don’t know any more than you do but I promise you I’m telling the truth.” He grips his hair in frustration and resumes his earlier pacing.
You eye him cautiously when he finally takes a seat on the couch. You observe how he looks eerily similar to JK, if not the exact same — from his doe eyes to his luscious hair to his full, rosy lips — yet he harbors his own unique features that separate him from your missing lover. Your chest aches when you remember those same pouty lips spouting hurtful words at you weeks ago and shutting you out.
“So you’re really…” you start cautiously, “…JK’s twin brother?”
“I am,” he answers promptly and you vaguely hear him add a hushed, “unfortunately.”
JK has always been secretive with you but hiding the fact that he has a twin brother is like a slap to your face. How could he have kept something this big from you? How could he, when you have always been unapologetically open with him?
“Why didn’t he ever tell me?” you whisper, your voice cracking in the end.
Jeongguk sighs. “I don’t know.”
You’re both quiet when you sit on the couch a few inches away from him. You both stare at nothing on the floor, with you trying to grasp the fact that JK never told you about his identical twin and with Guk trying to comprehend the truth that his twin brother never told him about you.
“Jeongguk… I mean, Guk?” you whisper. “Do you know where he is?”
He answers after a minute. “I don’t.”
Another minute. “Is he in danger?”
Half a minute, then Jeongguk turns to you with soft voice. “I hope not.”

HIYAA! It’s me, the new tumblr acc person who asked u abt the text thing on ur own intro post, and i was wanting to ask for some tips on writing?
Ok so hold on let me compliment u first cuz u are actually so amazing!!! i’ve been following ur stuff for a while now (not rlly, since like summer 24 but shh) and honestly ur writing is so stunning and beaand breathtaking and legit made me pull up the dictionary like every two seconds (mostly cuz eng isnt my first language), like if shakespear himself was reborn to this time and age i’m convived he was born as u, cuz ur talent is INSANE?? like AAAAAAAAAAAA
anyway now that i got that out of my system (not rlly, i could write an entire essay on how beautiful and amazing ur writing is) i was hoping to ask for tips on writing? like general stuff yk? also i heard that its good to have a few drafts ready for when u start posting so it wont take long to get content out?
ughh srry for the ramble im stressing😭 also i kinda giggled when u said my blog will def be cute cuz the aesthetic it has rn………. 😀 its far from cute lol😭 i still think its pretty :3
hi cutie! sorry it took me a moment to answer this i've been so busy!!
first of STOP IT bc youre so sweet (& if you've been following me since summer '24 then you've been here the whole time bc i made this account in july!!! <3) the dictionary part ahahaha i get it!!! you're so kind to say such things i appreciate you & im so happy you like my writing!!
dw about rambling i literally don’t stop taking ever. & i believe you that ur blog is SO cute!!!!
i would be happy to share some tips ! i obviously am not the best source bc im not a professional writer and to each their own – but here's a (very long im sorry) list of what i recommend:
in terms of tumblr,
having a 'backlog' of fics in your arsenal is a great thing. i think even a plethora of diferent wips can be a great thing too (there's 11 unfinished wips in my folder rn that may not see the light of day), even if you're a slow writer (like me). that being said, it doesn't have to be that way — sometimes i post things right after finishing them just bc i want to share it!!!
along that vein, i know a lot of my moots here have schedules or structuring to posts. alerting their followers or posting teasers before (i do like to do this often), or scheduling fics to be posted on a certain day/time. i think this is wonderful; though i haven't been able to keep myself to such a routine, and literally just let things rip whenever.
time zone reblogging is a good way to ensure any readers around da globe see your fic! you can figure out some of the main time zones and schedule reblogs of your fics for those times. i sometimes do this too!
create your post draft w/ title/headers/warnings & tags etc beforehand bc it is SUCH a drag to do when you’re about to post a fic!!!
again, people are for the most part very kind here; don't feel like you have to be churning out fics just to keep people's attention. your writing will be wonderful & they will (they WILL. or else i will Get Them) be grateful that you chose to share it!!
in terms of general writing, i actually have so many thoughts on writing and preferences, but i dont want to be insane on main so here's just a few things off the dome—
love your story!! i think people's best works are when they become deeply invested with their own plot/characters. it's why i chose to leave certain characters, because i was no longer loving/enjoying my stories.
withhold information from your readers. i am a huge believer in the theory of omission. this seems to be a bit controversial on here; but i personally am in support of Hemingway's iceberg theory. overwhelming readers with information is boring. let them use their imagination to keep them & yourself from getting burnt out, & allow them to see what they'd like to within those gaps.
write first & edit later. this is something that took me a while to get into the habit of bc i always feel the need to fix things immediately. but it helps the writing process to get out your thoughts and structure first, then fine-comb it after. it saves energy & time!!!
especially in longer fics, avoid logical fallacy — ie., arguments that do not have adequate support. if your characters are fighting and it is for a reason that is not believable (same with a larger scale, like war), then it isn't as realistic nor entertaining to read!!! (i could elaborate but i could write so much on all of this HAH)
USE THE FIVE SENSES. all of them. they are your friend for creating imagery and i use them all the time. this also helps to avoid white room syndrome.
speaking of imagery: make use of both literal and figurative.
literal — obvious & realistic description of anything. ex; describing how black the wings of a raven are. simple& makes a huge difference in world building. figurative — my favorite; words and descriptions that imply certain ideas & need to be interpreted. describing how shadows slither around corners; implying distrust or paranoia, thoughts of serpents, etc. (this is where you have to have faith in your readers — perhaps i put too much faith in them sometimes lmao.)
my favorite way to ensure a cohesive work is to always anchor a motif. i always write with a clear recurring element in my works (could be some device, reference of some sort, words/verbal formula) which appears habitually. in every piece ive written there is at least one motif & usually more (i could cite examples but im not going to rn). it’s my favorite way of conveying emotion & importance. it help sets mood — and ties your whole fic together.
George Orwell has written a lot about never using the passive where you can use the active... this is obviously a preference; i have read countless astounding fics here that write in the passive, but i personally find myself more engaged in active tense. you’re IN the story, not being told of it.
DO NOT USE AI BOTS TO HELP GENERATE YOUR WRITING. ai is incredibly harmful to art; i understand folks who have english not as their native language attempt to use bots to 'polish' their writing, although it is so incredibly obvious when it is used — because computers use patterns. AI CANNOT CREATE, it can only replicate. it can only steal. they use repetitive words, phrases, and structures; all chat GPT fics read, in one way or another, the same; and have a non-human touch which is ingenuine. writers are beautiful and unique because they are different, because we all have a different relationship with english and writing. i often wonder if my translations come out incorrectly because my mother tongue is not english (however i've spoken it basically all my life, so i acknowledge it is different); though i think the charm in authors is their choice in expression. i hope people are confident with themselves, no matter their perceived skill level. i hope they know a robot will take away their intrinsic skill and natural talent. i hope they know it is incredibly obvious when chat bots are used to generate writing. and i see it in this fandom all the fucking time.
writers on writing; ie., some sources that help me:
ray bradbury on: I’ve kept everything I’ve ever cared about since childhood.' or: why personal experience is integral to writing fiction. (1963)
anaïs nin on how the excess of emotion is essential to writing.
ten rules of writing by nietzsche.
vonnegut/kafka: uncertainty is the crucible of creativity. or: the shapes of stories.
writing morally grey characters (character depth)
donna tartt on the writing process: an interview (must watch!!! shes my god)
okay i am DONE yapping. i hope some of this helps & if u have any comments or questions or anything im happy to hear what u think!!

its so funny thinking abt how i started this tumblr off with the idea of making it a simblr account and doing the not so berry challenge. like i even made a post with my sim and a lil intro but then i realized that tumblr has so much and it immediately flopped to the marauders lmfao.
im bringing it up because my computer is shitty bc of my cc but i deleted it all (i didn't have a lot) and imma add new cc to it (i have a pinterest board) and like i shall properly organize my mods folder this time i swear 😭 make it more wcif friendly for myself ��💀💀
but anyways i was just thinking like maybeeeeeeee putting some sims 4 content? idk i don't put a lot of original stuff on here anyways its a lot of reblogs but tumblr is the one place where i have all creative freedoms so yeah maybe. i found this like taylor swift midnights themed challenge and i adore midnights AND its base game compatible!!! I'm not buying any dlc's soon and not thinking abt it, i need a new computer first for that, I'm literally just typing something in tumblr and my computer is overheating-
ANYWAYS just ideas maybe maybe maybe theres a lot that i want to do there some unfinished art and art i want to start, my followers event (i think I'll have that up by this month, i got the theme so i just need to draft it out), and school started so a lot of various things in that and the sims takes a lot of time so busy busy busy.
if anyone actually read, ily mwahh

WIP WEEKEND
I was tagged once again by my loves @steves-strapcollection and @starryeyedjanai i rly need to buckle down with my current unfinished wip this weekend so i am ready to play!
THE RULES
In a reblog (or new post w/ rules attached), post up to five (5) filenames of your WIPs; not titles, file names.
Post a snippet from one of them. Snippet must be words you wrote in the last 7 days. We’re posting progress here. If you haven’t made any, go make some and come back to post!
After you’ve posted, people can send you an ask with one of your file names. You must then write 3 sentences in that file. If the filename is one you can’t share from (for example, an event fic), write 3 sentences on it anyway, and then 3 more on another to share.
That’s it! You can invite others to join in, or just post. If you tag me in your post, I will send you an ask request!
THE WIPS
Batter up! (steddiebang)
greatest hits (we need to focus on this one this weekend besties - i am trying to write the gratuitous smut for the last chapter but it's hard)
for the bit (fake dating au that will be taking center stage after bu! first draft is complete)
THE SNIPPET (NSFW under the cut)
Eddie is going to tremble right out of his skin. He lowers his body onto Steve’s, the wet tips of their cocks gliding smoothly over one another with each forward press. It’s building like a forest fire, this feverish heat, from the tips of Eddie’s toes to the root of his hair, and he’s going to go mad with it. 
Eddie can’t speak, can’t find his voice. For once in his fucking life he's speechless. Steve Harrington is underneath him, bare skin for miles, and all Eddie wants is to say something sexy but all he can do is look, because it’s the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen.
Steve gasps beneath him, “Don’t stop.”
Eddie thrusts against him hard, catching Steve’s hand with his own and lacing their fingers together on Steve’s pillow beside his head. Steve makes this noise when he does it, like he's being ripped apart and put back together all at once. Eddie is dizzy.
“Kiss me,” Steve says, and Eddie does. He kisses him deeply, draws Steve’s tongue into his mouth and he could kiss Steve like this forever. Doesn’t even have to breathe anymore. Fuck breathing. This is so much fucking better than breathing. 
Eddie doesn’t stop the rocking of his hips, and Steve is matching him thrust for thrust, bucking up against Eddie and crying out into his mouth. They’re leaking all over each other, there’s fire building in Eddie’s gut. His skin is tacky with sweat. 
Steve’s head tilts forward, like he’s trying to watch. “Let me see.”
Eddie pushes up, his arms burning from the exertion, and Steve watches as his cockhead catches against Eddie’s and pulls a moan straight from Eddie’s toes. 
He glances down at where their bodies are pressed together, their cocks lined up root to tip, slits shiny and slick. 
“Keep watching,” Eddie instructs, and he drags his cock against Steve’s. Steve gasps and moans, watching as Eddie instructed. “Look at that. Look how we slide together. Look how big you are, Stevie.”
“Fuckin’ Jesus,” Steve gasps, throwing his head back and spreading his legs further. Eddie opens his mouth, retort right there on his tongue, but Steve chuckles, “Don’t fuckin’ say it, Munson.”
Eddie wants to touch him. He wants to take them both in hand and stroke them together. It might be enough to get them there, just this, but he wants to know the weight of Steve in his hand, wants to know what he feels like, the kinds of sounds he’ll make when Eddie jacks him off.
not tagging anyone this time around bc my writer friends have all been thoroughly tagged i think, but if you haven't been tagged in a wip weekend post and you want to do it, this is blanket permission to say i've tagged you

Emerald guyfight or hal suicide exploration
Knew you were going to do one of these two if you asked ahdjshdhs
Emerald Guyfight: my "Hal loses the fight in GL (1990) #25" AU. I've talked abt this one with you as well as publically a good deal but it follows canon divergence Hal throughout the rest of Jones' GL and Emerald Twilight, before going into New Dawn(?) Or whatever the Kyle intro era is called. This wip splits pretty clearly in two POV wise, with GL #25-50 being redone almost exclusively from Hal's pov, and then everything after being mixed pov with John, Kyle, mystery additions, etc. Not sure how this wip is set to end however, or if I'd want to leave it at the end of the Zero Hour/GL#0 timeframe and resolve it there, or stick closer to canon and do my own vers of Final Night.
A snippet from my vers of GL #25
Tumblr media
I mainly have the Halguy fight scenes drafted, as well as a few bits of Hal's thoughts to himself as he travels to Oa in my vers of GL 49 (as well as like half an unfinished John & Hal scene immediately after the snippet above). Decided to go with a bit of the first fight scene here (despite hating writing action) because I wanted smth au specific and didn't want to spoil the best parts of the 2nd Halguy fight (a draft I which I think I also posted somewhere, but need to edit bc i added an important plot element)
Anyways yeah. Think this is an au which will probably be split into two fics between a #25-50 Hal pov fic and a rotating pov response to the aftermath and all that comes with it, from the povs of the surviving old + new GL characters.
Hal Suicide Exploration:
This is just a vague idea but I'm p sure I read GL (2011) #18 [aka Hal's talk w Tomar-Re's spirit and following suicide to escape the black ring] around the same time Knight Terrors was being released irl, which left a few thoughts in my head. While I haven't actually read the green lantern knight terrors stuff or any of the event, the vibes stuck with me, especially that one panel with Hal being dwarfed by the giant apparition of himself as Parallax. So I like to think that this idea would really focus on him being trapped in some sort of nightmare or nightmarish realm mirroring in some way GL (2011) #18 with figures of his dead friends and just following up on the threads of this pattern of suicidal behavior as well as like guilt and responsibility over stuff like parallax (Among other things). Something where he has to say what he already knows aloud in order to fight it. Quite likely literally as I may have him be hunted a bit by the figure of parallax (only to dispel it by claiming the apparition as false and parallax as his own actions

( For context : the first few times I looked at fairytale Six's design in the big story post I thought he was wearing glasses and that was why you couldn't see his eyes, until I showed your old blog to my brother and he was like "that's just an unfinished draft with visible rough sketch lines dumbass" and then I look closer and I'm like "yo you're right" ) Still funny to imagine, because the candy witch in Hansel and Gretel is said to have a very bad vision, so I think it'd be funny if instead of Stanley it's Six (he's bald and he's going blind lmao )
Red = Six Blue = Tiffany
*laughing cause he thinks he finally found Adam* No, wait, hold on a second... Let me get my glasses *getting glasses* I'm sorry, it's just that my vision is not what it used to be *Six has put on the glasses* Okay, here we go... OH SH*T! YOU'RE NOT ADAM! Yeah, no, I'm Tiff Oh my gosh, whoops...! Oh lord, this is, so embarrassing. I thought you were my kid Don't worry dude, it happens You haven't seen him around, have you? Around this tall, small horns, kicked puppy vibes? No, sorry, it's kinda my first time deep in the forest like this Oh really? Sh*t! *walking away* Well, if you see him around let me know, please Will do Oh, also, tell Stanley that she's a bitch for me, will ya? Yeah, sure thing dude
https://youtu.be/gFyXVkANUBE?si=ES2-BHznTp7CLg5r
LMAOOOOO THIS IS SO REAL
he would probably honest to god confuse her for adam bc they're both blonde w blue eyes DCFVGBN
he'd probably feel so bad he's just like "ykw you wanna join our evil witch group as compensation for me being old asf" and tiffany just goes "sure"
i do need to think more on why she joined tho. i think i have an idea but i wont say yet >:)

apparently hofas leaks have started so i am going to be on here a little less i think! feels kind of serendipitous with me just finishing acosf last night :) i'll probably post some lingering thoughts/speculation that i have in my drafts. also considering revisiting my acotar analysis/summary posts just bc it's annoying to me that that's unfinished. mostly in these next few weeks i am going to focus on some other hobbies (fic writing!) and resting a little. the entire fall, and even these first couple weeks of january have been exhausting and i need a change in my routines!

As someone who opened the draft of a series that was left untouched for about 4 years because of a comment from a reader, here's what to do when you find an unfinished series you love so much but want to leave a nice comment on it and worry about being rude:
do NOT ask for update
don't ask why it's not updated yet (chances are, they already explained it many times before)
it's okay to leave a comment on each chapter. talk about what you love about that part, quote a part that stays with you, a dialogue, a scene, anything
tell the writer how much you enjoy reading the story/mention a certain part and say why you love that part specifically
is there some twist in the story that hasn't been revealed yet? drop your theory about it if you have one. this was one of those comments which made me open my draft bc it made me say "oooh that's an interesting theory, but actually, here's what happened..." and release a new chapter as an answer
does the story make you feel something? tell the author what you feel
don't know what to comment? it's okay to scream, drop an emoji, or just keyboard smash
let the writer know how often you've come back to reread the story (sometimes the writer can see it and say "oh I guess I need to give them something new to read" and a new chapter appears)
let the writer know why you enjoy reading (and rereading) it
do NOT remind the writer that the story is unfinished (or even mention or point out about it in any form of comment). they KNOW it's not finished yet. it's probably haunting them too. being reminded of it AGAIN isn't nice, or is it helping in any way
oftentimes a fanfic writer loses their motivation to write due to lack of validation and interaction while they were actively working on a story. "why continue writing this if no one's reading?" is often the question we ask ourselves before saying "yeah, I'm done." Commenting an old story that has been posted on the archive often helps a writer remember why they love writing and started sharing their stories in the first place
do you think it would annoy authors if i keep commenting on their works that i have already left kudos and comments before?
(there’s this author where i love to read their series but it’s left unfinished. i keep thinking of leaving comments again maybe to somehow reignite their will to finish it but i also think it’s rather rude, selfish, or mean of me if i do that
i don’t mean any offense. i haven’t commented, asking when they’ll update again, but i keep rereading the series and each time, i’m a little heartbroken that it’s missing it’s conclusion. that’s why i’m asking opinions here if it’s okay to leave comments about how i love the series so much again)
NO COMMENT AS MANY TIMES AS UR HEART DESIRES PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WE ARE ALL DESPERATE FOR VALIDATION PLEASE

oshdkfj HELP? we're seriously telepathic at this point it's kind of scary... even more so because i've noticed this is Constantly happening to me and it's like, i'll tell someone we're telepathic as a joke at first, and suddenly it's not a joke anymore LMFAOO i think i'm the problem 😞 (fun fact: i'm really good at accidentally manifesting it's like midas touch but with words)
i've been well for the most part though n i hope you have too! i've just been preoccupied with school, playing the sims 4, or decorating toploaders...! i will literally do anything and everything except write; which sucks because i was really excited about this idea and i wanted to finish it by this month, but i haven't made any real progress with writing the storyline or mundane scenes so i don't think that's happening unless i suddenly get a burst of inspiration turned motivation. also, i know some people say that if you get stuck you should work on something else entirely or write a different scene, so i did both of those and here i am again... with two unfinished fics but complete ideas.
the ideas never stopping but the motivation does is actually so real and True though like omfg? i think with myself and my writing style in particular, i absolutely can't let myself get distracted, otherwise my source or motivation is entirely lost and difficult to get back again. i'll constantly get super immersed in a story, outline every last detail and write bits and pieces here and there, but actually writing/finishing and posting it seems to always end up being my problem and . idk how to fix it ?! like i have way too many story outlines in my notes that at this point i think i should just rebrand my blog and make it an idea bank for writers seeing how my own writing does Not want to see the light of day Ever
anyways, sorry i didn't really mean to talk so much about myself but i hope you find your motivation soon! you honestly have a lot more perseverance than i do when it comes to writing and getting your drafts done, so i don't doubt for a second that you'll get over this block soon and tackle all four...? fics 🙏🏼 boxer tae and loser gyu are here to stay ! – ml
We literally share one mind at this point bc it’s like we summoned each other or smth 💀
I’ve been well also! Life’s been a bit busy these past few weeks, but I’m finally getting some free time again,, hopefully this means I’ll have more time to write too
but omg I totally understand what you mean! Sometimes writers block is so intense that nothing helps, and now I’m stuck with so many more drafts it’s actually driving me insane..
And yes!! Mundane scenes are soooo hard to write!! It’s literally whats keeping me from my boxer tae and loser gyu fics, like they need to be there for character development but oh lord is it getting boring for me to write ! I’m also the same way with writing— I need to stay in one place and remain focused or else that fic is not getting touched again 😭 and if I don’t stop writing at an interesting scene it’s over for me
I usually avoid outline my stories in detail it’s insane 💀 the only one I’ve done a full outline on was OYD, and most of it was a voice recording of me incoherently throwing ideas out; after that I took the key points and wrote them down (then I added important details i needed to remember as I wrote)
I always wing my stories which is why I always have to go back and add stuff in LMAO it’s not the best method but it works most of the time…! Then when I’m about to stop a writing session I leave a vague checklist of stuff I wanna write (like scenes and stuff) and hope I touch it again </3
Making ur account an idea bank is such a mood I have so many good stories that are just gathering dust bc my inspiration is dried out 😭 I also hope you’re able to find motivation and inspiration for your stories, it’s such a frustrating feeling to have writers block and I’d love to see your stories !

— the interview question tag game!
tagged by @skyaura-koo 🙇🏻‍♀️🦋
1. why did you choose your url?
i was still very much into the anime haikyuu!! and shipped sakuatsu so much– so atsuwiee is basically atsumu + the word 'wiee' idk it seemed cute so i put it in,, so this blog was supposed to be a sakuatsu oneshots lol not until i got into enhypen
2. any side blogs? if you have them, name them and why you have them?
nope i don't have one, i used to want to make one but idk how to so😐

4. do you have a queue tag?
idk what this is lol 😭
5. why did you start your blog in the first place?
as i mentioned before in the first question, this blog was supposed to be for sakuatsu. i actually had drafts of my oneshots already but since i have a new phone (my current one) i can't really transfer those notes ://
6. why did you choose your icon/pfp?
i'm a park jongseong simp🙇🏻‍♀️
7. why did you choose your header?
i needed it to match the color scheme of my pfp so it would look nice lmaoo
8. what's your post with the most notes?
ouh i kinda don't remember– but i think it's the slow dancing with enhypen! one. i honestly like that one the most lol bcs it was some brainrot content i finally got to write.
9. how many mutuals do you have?
i'm not really close with them😭 i suck at communication so i probably have 2-3+ i think
10. how many followers do you have?
OOF I ONLY HAVE 70 SMTH AHAHAHA i'm just a newbie so👁👁
11. how many people do you follow?

nope not really– if someone were to fight me on here tho, i wouldn't respond and i'd just delete it lmao 😭
15. how do you feel about 'you need to share this posts'?
i think if it's needed and it's info is very ig crucial ?? then i would share it– like if it's really really important, but if the post is like crappy af and it's info isn't really relevant then i wouldn't share it (or if it contains content that isnt good).

helloooo T <333 i wanna make a series and am wondering if you have any tips?? I have like a vague idea of what I'm doing and have the title and a synopsis but not... much. secondly, (😭) I also wanna do what you've done where you write all of it down? like all the chapters? then post ! or maybe write half, then post probably weekly whilst I'm writing the rest kinda thing. much love if you help <333 wondering how you've gone about with your series too 💞💕💗
hello love! <3 and gosh i'll try to be as thorough as possible but my goodness series are a curse of mine bc 98% of the series i've done is either collecting dust in the my WIPs (ahem mob!tom i'm sorry i'll get back to you soon bby i promise laklkas) unfinished, not updated in years, or full stop discontinued so asdfghjkl anyhow i'm gonna put a cut bc i talk a lot and also! i'm gonna put Revenge Is Sweet as an example even though technically that was a bit easier bc its an smau but i basically planned them the same way so spoilers ahead if you haven't read the series asdfghjkl:
so first off, when it comes to series each writer is definitely different but me, i heavily. plan. everything. so i say get a scope of where you want the characters to go and what journey you want to take them. whether it's a start and a very rough middle and end. so long as you know where you're going even if it's not final yet. it's a rough draft. changes will be made in the process but at least you have an idea of the direction you're going so you don't get lost down the line.
most of the time i try and see roughly how many parts i want to make it into. and then as you go through and write, if you feel like you need more parts or need to add something in between some parts then add more parts. that's why for me, i can not do the write as we go thing where i post the first part here and then see where it will take me. bc i want to make each part as cohesive as possible so i need to have at least the basics written down, places, dates, years, events and i can only do that if i have most of the series already planned out from prologue to epilogue.
here's an example on how i basically roughly planned Revenge Is Sweet--
i'll start with the characters where i basically wrote down some personalities to make them different from each other:
Tumblr media
p.s. i didn't include oliver bc it basicaly says *asshole* alskaslk i'm kidding but not really. also ignore the asher name lmao that was suppose to be ashton's name but
and as for the parts, when i say vaguely write stuff down, i really mean vaguely write stuff down:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
so that's basically what i mean when i say at least get a scope of where you want to go. doesn’t matter if it’s vague, simple or not groundbreaking at all. because then you can come back to it later and tweak some stuff, change some scenes, add more scenes and even some dialogue and such. 
as for posting, that really depend on what you’re most comfortable with. if you’re comfortable with posting one part and then writing the next one after then go for it. bc at least now you have an idea on where you’re going so it wouldn’t be too hard as you write.
but for me personally:
i’d rather have at least 80% or like you said, half of the series written down. and by written down i really mean like it needs at least one or two more proof reads simply to polish things up. like Prologue to Part 6 of my mob!tom series are each at least 10k words already and ready to go. because sometimes when i write a series, some parts inspire ideas that are great for another part. for example, i’ll be well underway writing Part 6 but then i get an idea that would improve Part 2 or i’ll add a certain character tick which wouldn’t make sense if they only did it on one part but not at the start. but when i have that part already up and posted then...i can’t do anything to change it anymore. 
me as a writer, i am constantly changing and improving and tweaking so if i can hold onto all the parts to improve them as much as i can until i’m happy with it then i will. and i also want to add hints and foreshadowing and all little easter eggs may it be a little dialogue etc.
but also, as i’ve said at the beginning i haven’t finished a series ever. from way back when i was writing for one direction. yes, i’m that much of a fossil with writing alskalk. so for me, having at least most of the series done would guarantee that i have a consistent posting schedule. and i do agree with what you said, posting weekly while you write the other parts so the pressure wouldn’t be too hard on missing updates.
but gosh, i just gave you a full blown essay anon lakslaks but yeah! that’s much of all the tips i can give to you. but also, enjoy it really as cheesy as the sounds. write the series because you want to get lost in it first and foremost. like be in your own world and don’t think about outer circumstances. and then once you’ve had that journey relieve it again when you start posting.
and please! ask any questions you want, my inbox is always open. and i’ll answer them to the best of my abilities.
hope this helped!! <3

hi! i hope you're doing okay amidst the coronavirus frenzy. do you happen to have great recs for multi-chaptered xf fics? preferably AU... i need to lose myself in a little reading bubble lately because the news is super depressing and i feel like i've read a lot of the long fics out there already. thank you so much for your help!
