#and yeah also a way to marked my different platforms ngl

[sarcasticscribbles]

hey there, whenever you do TMA OC polls for stuff like the theme, do you only put them up on Twitter or do you also put them up on Tumblr?

Ah, yeah, I separate the whole process on all my platforms!

Entity on Tumblr, since it allows for 4+ options

Then I do traits (amongst theme) on Twitter since I can have multiple polls in the same thread

Then I keep name vote on Instagram, I get the most suggestions there

I find it works the best to separate the processes to keep everyone involved. I ask for suggestions on all platforms and try my best to keep all socials updated on the votes!

sooooooooooo purcon3 let’s do this

so we actually got there on thursday (james blunt was on our flight in like wtf????) and waited around to check in and explored what was around the hotel food wise so then went upstairs to get ready to get ready for little mix. then we went downstairs to ask at the desk where to buy a ticket for the trams and we saw rob checking in lol we had to point out where the lifts were cos that boy was not gonna go in the right direction.

anyways little mix and the vamps were fucking lit the crowd was so loud they were v good. so we went back and slept day 1 done

day 2 we explored some more got some pretzels it was chill. it was also really warm i was like wtf this isn’t what i signed up for. and then we like queued to register which only took like an hour and got our tickets to rob’s concert. we went upstairs got changed, did rob’s concert. ngl the crowd pissed me off. like a whole bunch of people were talking over him while he spoke and while he sang it was really rude???? i didn’t get why you would pay to go and not even listen to him. but i kept accidentally making eye contact with gil while i was singing along and i got embarrassed lmao.

day 3 first thing we did was matt’s lounge which got me so nervous i wish i recorded it on my phone but i thought it would be like rogue where you kept your bags somewhere else so i didn’t think i would have been able to but oh well. so matt answered some questions and like it went silent and he like looked at me and i put my hand up to ask something and he said “oh good i was going to pick on your because you were just sat there smiling” which i know i do i just can’t help it listening to him talk about his ideas and what he has to say makes me really happy. so yeah i asked what his favourite song in moana is and he got sooooooooo happy cos i know he loves that movie and he went on about it and was telling the other people who hadn’t seen it that they had to see it. he said there might be something cool happening next season, it’s not set in stone but if it happens it’s something he thinks everyone needs right now. and that something cool is gonna happen in the first part of the comic con panel and if there’s a livestream people should watch it. he asked who had travelled to be here and we said we were from england and he was like “where?” and we were like south west and he was like “but where?” and we were like bristol and he was like “but where?” and we were like farmer country and he talked about how he wants to move out of la eventually and go to oregon and set up a farm and be completely self sufficient food-wise and how he’s planted stuff in his garden and he really wants macklin to be surrounded by nature i thought that was so interesting and cute 

so then after that there were panels and tbh i can’t really remember a lot but so photos i got two pictures with matt i got a kiss on the cheek (in which my eyes are closed and i got to retake the day after) i still got a pic of it tho and i kinda prefer it but i didn’t like the print out of it i just like the photo of the print so probably still a good move and then i wanted a full body hug without my face in it and i had to show him a pic on my phone and my hands were shaking so much when i tried to open it he was like ‘you’re okay it’s okay’. like i fr don’t know what happened to me this con cos at asylum 16 i was so chill but he made me so nervous and emotional at this one??? it was so weird. but yeah so we did that and then i did my rich and he said he liked my outfit and i was rly surprised i was like ‘OH! thank you!” and we did judging faces at the camera and i got a hug with rob because i don’t have a photo with him at all so yay. 

then we got food and then did karaoke which was LIT we were second row and gil like posed for my camera (it’s my sister’s but i was taking the pics at that point) twice and rob smiled at us and matt gave us the mic during boulevard of broken dreams like and i was looking down and when i looked up at him he was already looking at me and smiling i wish i had taken pictures but it made me freeze up. but yeah i got some great photos 

day 4 we had our r2m pictures first and we gave them sunglasses and were like “pretend you’re cool” and rich was like “pretend????? we are cool” and we were like ok dude and then we were like so you know in kings on con when you’re in the cupboard and matt’s like “rich is right you’re fuck up rob we want you gone!!” can we do that and after we took it they were like that’s so good and then i had my matt retakes and i actually bought another one with him in the morning lmao whatever i’m trash i’ve accepted it and i got one of us holding hands too because my last one rogue didn’t INCLUDE OUR HANDS IN THE PIC WYD but yeah so that was that it was then just panels for the rest of the day for me my sister had some other pics with rich and gil but i was done. the panels were odd, the questions were kinda generic and i felt like rich was lowkey done lmao and like i don’t think some of the jokes landed with the audience idk it felt like a v different atmosphere to the crowds in england. but yeah i also wish people would ask matt more questions???? i feel like he barely gets asked anything at r2m panels and it makes me kinda sad lol cos he’s actually really smart and heartfelt i wish he had the chance to speak more.

but anyways autos happened and okay i felt really emotional i wrote out a letter for matt in the queue just basically thanking him for coming to conventions and his openess with the fans and like thanking him for using his platform in the way that he does and the way he’s so positive. i told him in it that i don’t actually watch the show anymore but i come to the cons because of him mainly it was stuff i wish i could say to him but i thought it would be more articulate if i wrote it down so. i felt like i knew i was gonna cry on him so i wanted to do his auto last to kinda prepare myself more but he didn’t have a queue so we had to do him first :) so we went i had him sign my photo and like i thanked him for coming and i handed it to him and i could see my hands shake and i like felt my face crumple and i welled up and i was like “sorry” and he was like “no don’t cry” and i was like “i don’t know why i’m crying sorry” and he was like “as long as they’re happy tears yeah” and i was like yeah and thanked him again and like while we queued for gil like i still felt myself tearing up i never actually cried but like i just felt on the verge for like the whole of gil and rich’s queue lmao and i like saw him read it while we were queuing and i was like oh god no i want to take it back no and so my sister got her gil auto and then we did rich’s and he said i photograph really well and that i’m a very pretty person and omg rich is just so calming like to be around??? like matt made me feel so like emotional this weekend and rich was just like so chill and calm. so then we did rob and i had him sign my photo and we talked to him about his concert on friday then i had him write out my tattoo for me and when i said what it was he smiled and he looked idk so genuine when he looked at me and thanked me for coming so then i um and ah over getting a second matt auto mainly because i didn’t want my last interaction with him to be crying on him but then i thought i still might cry on him again if i got another so i left it and we hung about.

so then matt finishes autos and he leaves the room, he looks at me and i waved bye to him and he like stopped and came over and said “i read your letter. thank you so much for doing that for me. I will definitely keep coming back to cons for you” and he said to my sister “i don’t know if you feel the same way” and she was like “she wouldn’t let me read it” which was true lmao and he said it was so sweet and he would be coming back and my sister said about asylum and he said he should be due for the one next year and that we had to pester wayne to get him rob and rich to come and then we hugged him and that was that. i’m so happy he did that it literally made my weekend. 

then the closing ceremony happened and gil sang music of the night and i died and yeah we all sang the musical version of carry on my wayward son it was sad and made me emo that was the last episode of supernatural that i actually watched so (bar matt’s most recent one). then we went to get food and my sister had to go up and get the ice cream sandwich she ordered and all the guests turned up we were like ffs and then they ordered and said bye when we left and then we waited like 10 mins before leaving cos we didn’t wanna look like we were following them lmao.

yeah i was a great weekend, it was kinda odd cos it didn’t actually feel like it was happening while it was??? and it doesn’t actually feel like it happened as i write this??? like i’m sad that it’s over but also in a hollow way????? but also matt’s friend on twitter screenshotted my tweets and matt liked the tweet so he saw me saying mark sheppard is a shady ass which is

so yeah day 5 we explored but we couldn’t really appreciate it cos it was fucking 31 degrees and then we flew home 

i have work tomorrow i don’t want to go i just want to lie in bed and be sad about matt not being my best friend. anyways that’s everything i think i love rich i love rob and i love matt very much i hope i get to see him again next year 

[astrofireworks]

because winter dream is being released in 12 hours and why not have more binu, 4stro and magic 

cha eunwoo absolutely hates noisy and messy people 

when i say noisy and messy i rly mean mj and sanha 

and by hate i rly mean they’re his best friends 

and by best friends i rly mean mj and sanha found him the very first day on platform 9 and 3/4 with the most confused and terrified expression on his tiny face & had to lead him by hand to the hogwarts express 

they still laugh about that

they also fed him chocolate frogs and laughed when he felt them jumping in his mouth and screamed because they’re terrible friends like that

and so here begins cha eunwoo’s journey into the world of magic 

shit i don’t know how to put this all under a read more i’m so sorry for those who have to scroll through this i don’t know if this works

he’s dunked into the lake that very first trip across to the school and swears to this day he felt the great squid touch his leg

mj and sanha still laugh hysterically at that too 

then, sopping wet, he’s sorted away from his friends into ravenclaw and watch as kim myungjun and yoon sanha are shuffled into hufflepuff 

and naturally with his sopping wet robes trips over thin air next to the gryffindor table and feels people snorting at him

and so more than ever he feels out of place sitting at this magic table with all these people who Know Magic when he doesn’t

but when this quiet, mousy kid is placed next to him at the ravenclaw table and he finds out that minhyuk is muggle-born too he feels infinitely better

because who doesn’t love rocky 

nobody, that’s who

rocky quickly becomes one of eunwoo’s best friends too since they share a bedroom and soon becomes part of 4stro

their first year passes by uneventfully, with a couple classes with slytherin and a couple classes with hufflepuff 

their second year, however, marks rocky persuading both mj and sanha to try out for their quidditch teams 

it also marks mj and sanha’s first trip to the hospital wing because they Cannot Stop Fooling Around even on broomsticks smh boys pls

but when they wake up it’s to a stern glare from mdm pomfrey and the news from a worried but happy eunwoo that rocky’s made it into the quidditch team

and so in turn this marks the end of eunwoo’s quiet afternoons in the library and the start of mj, sanha & eunwoo camping out on the quidditch stands and doing homework together waiting for rocky to end training so they can eat dinner together 

and it’s great for rocky because that precious flower sprout thrives on cheers!!!!! so whenever 3stro cheers for him!!!! he does so well!!!!!! so proud of him i love my son

it’s not so great for the team that trains right beside the ravenclaw however 

because gryffindor’s new seeker has a sudden drop in performance 

rip moon bin 

but to be fair he literally cannot take his eyes off the stand to look for that tiny flying ball

there are 2 noisy ass kids with yellow ties making terrible jokes and just screaming every time he comes to train what can he do 

but there’s also that one boy with his books and his delicate hands and his smile like the sun and the way he leans dangerously near to the edge of the stand trying to catch a glimpse of his friend and the way his fingers twirl his wand and his-

jinjin: “is2g bin if u don’t put ur eyes back in ur head to look for the snitch i will personally kill u myself���

bin: “can u even reach me”

but bin has to turn away from this tiny angry blonde boy and has to look for a not-that-much-tinier snitch 

even though an angry jinjin isn’t all that threatening 

but an angry seventh year captain is and tiny tiny bin isn’t about to risk his twelve year old ass over some boy that looked like he descended from angels and whose smile looked like it could make flowers grow and whose-

alright an angry jinjin is Actually p threatening he’s gotta go 

but tiny bin cannot stop thinking about that boy 

and so he has The Fright Of His Life when he’s chasing the snitch, hand outstretched and fingers ready to grasp it when the snitch nosedives right for the stands and hovers right in front of a smol boy with his nose in a book, brows furrowed and quill tucked between his teeth 

shoot me i really love nerd!eunwoo 

as the small golden ball hovers in front of him eunwoo looks up, concentration broken just in time to see a red blur rush by his eyes and crash into the stand 

immediately smol bin is scrambling to his feet and squeaking ‘sorry’s at the most adorable boy he has seen in his entire 12 years of life and his face is burning more intense a shade of red than his robes

because wow when nerdboy smiles his eyes crinkle up and so does bin’s heart 

his eyes are literally made of stars, that’s all bin can say

“it’s alright,” is all eunwoo manages to say before bin is surrounded by more red robes and enthusiastic whooping about bin’s first crash

jinjin can’t stop teasing him about it afterwards though because he’s a little shit 

mj and sanha can’t either: “ok but loOK HE LITERALLY FELL FOR U”

“shut up is2g i will hex all your shoes you know i can”

(vague grumbling) “why does he have to be smarter than us and why does he have to kNOW IT”

cue third year potions class with gryffindor and ravenclaw 

eunwoo’s lowkey glad he doesn’t have this class with hufflepuff because he loves mj and sanha he really does but they’re also clumsy af and he can’t afford new sets of robes every time they accidentally spill something on him

they didn’t even share a cauldron

mj and sanha are literally that clumsy 

and so he works quietly and well with rocky who ngl is p great at potions, he’s finally going to have a peaceful year in potions

until 

that’s right 

his prof pulls him to the side of class one day and tells him that there’s a gryffindor kid that really sucks at potions and please since eunwoo is already the top of his class and about 10 chapters ahead of everyone else can he please please partner this hopeless child instead 

eunwoo sighs for the state of his robes 

but agrees because he’s a good kid 

and so the next potions lesson rocky’s stuck with a kid vaguely reminiscent of mj that he knows plays on gryffindor’s quidditch team and they get along like a house on fire

and eunwoo gets bin 

eunwoo sending silent eyebrow messages to rocky not to make fun of him & the boy that Literally Fell For Him

and we all know bin is already trash for eunwoo he’s probably more trash for eunwoo than arohas are is2g

and bin cannot believe that failing potions in second year let him be paired up with an Actual Angel his third year 

seems fake to him 

what did he do right in his past life 

apparently nothing because even though eunwoo is taken with his smile eunwoo is Not Taken with bin’s jokes or puns and he is Not Taken with the fact that bin expresses his admiration for this beautiful boy in the form of spilling bounding spider juice and billywing sting slime all over eunwoo’s robes

reminder that cha eunwoo absolutely hates noisy and messy people 

sorry bin 

and so begins eunwoo’s grumpy potions time where it’s mostly him chopping and preparing the ingredients and bin peering quietly over his shoulder 

although bin isn’t entirely sure if he’s focussing more on how to prepare the potion or on eunwoo’s hands 

he tells eunwoo this

smol eunwoo is not impressed 

and so tiny bin pouts and keeps his hands and admiration to himself 

eunwoo thinks a pouty bin is p cute but also keeps his admiration to himself bc smh he’s here to learn not flirt with his potions partner

even if said potions partner is hella adorable and thinks he can charm his way into eunwoo’s heart by literally charming quills and pieces of parchment to fly around eunwoo 

it doesn’t make eunwoo smile at aLL HE SWEARS

ok so here we go one day the prof comes in with a cauldron of pearly liquid and spiralling steam and asks the class if they know what it is 

eunwoo doesn’t raise his hand he’s expressly forbidden from answering anything in class unless the prof calls on him 

but bin knows what that shit is 

he’s been aching to learn it ever since he set eyes on eunwoo 

and has expressly told jinjin this and was consequently made fun of for that whole week before getting scolded by his hyung because that’s not how you make someone love you 

not that jinjin has more experience or anything they’re all literally in the same year 

but he knows what it is and ten points to gryffindor, it does turn out to be a love potion 

he’s determined to know how the hell to make it and this time makes eunwoo teach him thoroughly instead of sitting back and watching eunwoo work magic around a cauldron 

and eunwoo snorts under his breath and figures binnie probably has someone he wants to impress 

hell yeah bin does 

so in goes ashwinder eggs, in goes rose thorns and moonstone, in goes pearl dust 

and when bin completes the final stir while eunwoo looks on they’re both holding their breath in excitement

this is it this is what love smells like to them and idk if you’re not excited for them you’re probably made of stone 

and so when eunwoo and bin see the first hint of smoke spiralling from the surface of the cauldron, much like others who have succeeded before them, they stick their faces right into the smoke 

they’re not impressed

at all 

eunwoo frowns and looks around because he sees- no, he hears rocky’s partner right beside him yelling about how he smells sunshine and ducks and green tea 

he squints down at his own potion in confusion because he literally Does Not Smell anything out of the ordinary and it pisses him off because bin must have screwed up somewhere 

and bin just stares, dismayed at his cauldron because he followed eunwoo’s instructions!!! so well!!!!! and the potion has the right colour and the right smoke!!!!! but he can’t smell anything different!!!! all he smells is the usual clean cotton scent and a whiff of lemon and freesia that eunwoo brings with him every time he brushes by bin 

and so eunwoo moves away from bin and sticks his nose into rocky’s cauldron instead because hell, he’s pretty curious and even if he can’t find it from his own potion he damn well wants to know what it should have smelled like 

and he catches a very very subtle smell but before he can place what it is bin elbows his way between to eunwoo and rocky to stick his nose in as well 

he thinks it’s something like rain and soft leather and something else sweeter and something else tangier that he can’t place but he quickly loses the smell because bin’s shoulder is in the way

rocky: “hyung why aren’t u smelling ur own cauldron smh yours is so much more powerful than ours???? i can smell a stronger smell of my stuff coming from your cauldron from where i am as compared to my own”

and eunwoo??? is so confused???????

but jinjin is cackling because “bin didn’t shower after quidditch lmao u probs can’t smell shit over his sweat”

and bin is quick to go “nO I DID SHOWER THAT’S WHY ALL I HAD FOR LUNCH WAS THAT DAMN APPLE”

and it clicks 

that’s the third smell

it’s apple

it’s fricking apples and suddenly eunwoo has to sit down because his head is whirling and all he can think about is how his potion smells like bin 

and 13 year old eunwoo is Shookt™ because 

his potion fricking smells like Moon Bin, the whirlwind red blur who talks too much too fast and who makes bad puns and who beams at eunwoo every time they get to class 

and when he turns to bin he sees the exact same realisation flash across his face because this is what bin smells, he smells eunwoo and his lemon shampoo and freesia moisturiser and suddenly he has to sit down as well 

and their professor is talking about how eunwoo’s and bin’s potion has the shiniest sheen, the spiralliest smoke, the strongest smell but all binu can see is the shock on each other’s faces 

and so after class eunwoo presses a piece of parchment into bin’s hand and tells him to stop gaping like an idiot and to please meet him at three broomsticks tomorrow during the hogsmeade outing he would like a warm butterbeer please

and all bin can do is stand there in awe because 

this is eunwoo

that beautiful boy from the stands that his snitch chose 

this is who’s going to be his best friend and this is who he’s going to love and be loved by for the rest of his life 

i swear i’ll love astro for the rest of my life

binu gives me so many feels 

goddamn
