Honestly with those titles I want to know whatever evey single one of youe wins is about ngl tellll meeeee pleeeeease

Ok, so uh.

Swing My Way is my Spider-Man Steddie fic. Steve is Spider-Man, Eddie is Venom. It's a little Enemies to Lovers, it's a little Save The World, and a lot of me making the Stranger Things characters fit in the Marvel Universe whether they like it or not. I've got like a chapter and a half left to write and then the first draft's done!

Also Swing My Way is a terrible pun because webswinging, and because Steve's bi.

I'd Let Hellfire Consume Me Before I Hurt You is, surprise surprise, also a Steddie fic because I am apparently incapable of writing anything else these days. I've not actually started it yet, but I have a vague plan written down.

It's kind of the magical counterpoint to the more sci-fi Swing My Way - Eddie gets killed and brought back to life as a Ghost Rider, and finds himself in the middle of a mob war that Steve is also somehow involved in (though Eddie's not quite sure how to start with). The closer the two of them get, the more weird shit starts happening, because there's an ancient prophecy that if the Ghost Rider ever falls in love, the world will end, oopsie.

It's about how like light can still be borne even surrounded by darkness, and how good people will find a way to be together even when they don't think they can.

The title is also a work in progress because I think it's a bit too long atm, but I like the double use of Hellfire because Eddie's in the Hellfire Club in the show, and like demons and hell and stuff.

And The Price Of Victory is actually a novel I'm 1/3 of the way through. It's the third part of a triology I've written, after The Depths Of Despair and The Heights Of Insanity, which are my attempt at a horror/Cthulhu mythos type story.

They follow Alex Valmont, a woman who finds herself targetted by the Elder Gods as a vessel to bring Cthulhu through to our dimension once and for all. She and her boyfriend end up fighting his minions no matter where they go, and it starts to take its toll on her mind.

It's what I was writing before I got hit with the Steddie Brainrot like 8 months ago. I will go back to it, because I wanna finish the story, but...not yet.

This is probably more than you wanted to know, but hey.

Oh may I please know what menw is about? Because there are so many funny ways this could go

Man embraces numerous wolves

Mother Enraged, Nothing Worrying

Monk Enlists Nun for War

Hahaha it actually doesn't stand for anything. It's a name of a noble who ends up entangled in a disturbing subterfuge and can't get out. I'm not sure it will ever get polished and published. Right now its really a companion piece to Twin Tales from the POV of a character who gets like 3 lines of dialogue in the main story.

---

“Menw, you said you would do anything for me. I need to know, is that still true?” he asked. 

“Yes of course, your highness,” Menw replied. His worries vanished amd he felt instead a flutter of excitement. This was the moment he would truly become a trusted confidant of the future king. 

“And you would keep a secret for me, no matter what?” Prince Mordred pressed. 

A little of the worry crept back in. “I trust that there is a good reason for anything you ask of me, even if I do not understand it. I will keep any secret for you.”

The prince closed his eyes in relief, then bent down behind his desk and pulled out a small box. “Good. I need a bit of your blood.”

Menw almost asked why. He drew his dagger and pricked his finger. From the box, Prince Mordred lifted a large crystal on a chain. He pressed it to the wound then set the crystal on the table.

week two of #got7revival: fave era

visually: JayB's Piercing Era

this was the first look and the first couple of pictures I've ever seen of Jaebeom, and although I wasn't present yet when it happened, mentally I'm still there and I cannot wait for him to maybe at least get his nose pierced again. YOU GUYS WILL NOT BELIEVE WHAT HAS HAPPENED!! I've seen the posts of non-ahgase asking who the "piercing guy in GOT7" was, and I wish I had already been a kpop fan at that time, but alas. ( the long hair is a very pretty bonus, too!! )

week one of #got7revival: bias & wrecker

bias: Jaebeom & Youngjae

jaebeom was the first member of GOT7 I found while looking for faceclaims for my fantasy novel about one and a half years ago ( march 2021 ) ; he got me and a friend into kpop and the rest is history. I love this weird cat guy ( affectionate ) with his twin moles and the utter passion and leadership he always brings to the table. I also adore that he talks about his depression and anxiety so relatively openly. he wouldn't need to, and yet he does, and I respect that a lot. it makes even me feel better about myself, and I thought I had a really good grip on mine.

once I knew the members and had gotten familiar with their character and all, I started gravitating towards youngjae as well. I sometimes wonder whether he wouldn't have been my ( actual / only ) bias in GOT7 if a) jaebeom wasn't so very special to me that it feels wrong to switch biases, and b) I had already known the members when I had gotten into GOT7, or if GOT7 hadn't been my very first group and I had already been much more familiar with how groups worked and all that. he's 97 percent shy, innocent maknae, and 3 percent a wicked minx who nobody can be mad at and I love that for him.

the bottom line is that I bias them both and they seem to be okay with having shared custody, if you wanna call it that. I'm calling it that now.

btw, I always consider those people the bias that I have a soft spot for, who I relate to on a personality level, who make me feel all warm and cozy when I watch them do their thing — and the wrecker is the one that just wrecks me with their visuals or voice or whatever it is. I can't look at them for long because that's overwhelming because they're so v attractive ( not saying my biases aren't, but the wreckers just take a bat and swing it at me, while the biases just don't cause that reaction in my brain ) idk, I hope this makes sense, but I've heard people describe biases as the ones that are in "first place" and the wreckers are trying to dethrone them and that's just not my definition of it. kakdif no hate tho! just wanted to explain that.

not to be a nerd on main about this, but we should stop transcribing 형 / 누나 and 오빠* / 언니 as bro / sis. linguistically they have very different connotations and it's kinda driving me up a wall as someone who's very invested and interested in languages, like, I do realize that especially casual watchers of like kdramas, who just started getting into them after Netflix or whomever added a bunch of them to their library, don't really care and that's totally fine with me! it's a considerably small thing, and if you just wanna watch something without diving into the language or culture or anything, then you're totally free to, that's valid, honestly

just. that's not what those words mean, connotation-wise and every time I read "bro!" or "sis!" in Netflix's or even YT's subtitles I die a bit inside.

obviously I'm not Korean and if anyone who speaks the language well / lives in Korea and is well familiar with when those are used, wants to weigh in, feel absolutely free to!

but to break it down briefly, those are honorifics attached to a person's name if they're older than you, but not, like, significantly. older students, older colleagues at work if you're a bit more friendly with them, friends, and ( your actual ) siblings. they are normal and do not immediately imply you view the other person as a sort of sibling from another parent.

yes, they do basically translate to "older brother" / "older sister", but transcribing it with "bro" and "sis" respectively has an entirely different impact than what they are actually supposed to infer. it's a polite suffix, that can in certain situations also imply trust or a more intimate relationship, because otherwise ( especially outside of a school context ) you'd use 씨 ( shee ) after their name. just that nobody especially in a school context does that because they use 형 ( hyeong / hyung ) / 누나 ( noona ) and 오빠* ( oppa ) / 언니 ( eonnie / unnie ) — former is used by males and latter by females, both times to address an older 'brother' / an older 'sister' respectively — either alone or after their name.

the companion piece is adding 아 or 야 (-a for names with a consonant at the end or -ya for those with a vowel ) to the names of people younger than you ( or those you're close with ) — and for example in All Of Us Are Dead they do that all the time and it's not transcribed by cutesy-fying their names is it now. they just put their names into the subtitles and move on.

I personally think it'd be much better to simply use you in any other sentence and if some character yells 형! across the room in distress, to transcribe it with the other character's name for emphasis. that's for me personally the closest, connotation-wise.

or, you know, have hyeong / noona / eunnie / oppa* in the transcript / subtitles in italics and explain it with some translator annotation the first time it appears alone. but that's generally an issue with subtitles on such platforms I feel. they remove words when creating the subtitles and leave out such nuances because gods forbid they'd force casual viewers to pause the show to read the annotations akskdkf. either way,

tl;dr they don't use teen slang in kdramas all the time even if the subtitles would have you believe otherwise and it's probably a problem that stems from companies thinking they can't "bother" their customers with having to pause to read, but I think that's simply taking away important context to a depicted story and I'd really like it to stop, thank you.

*oppa is a bit special because it is also used as a sort of term of endearment by women towards their boyfriends, or like, when they flirt with them pre-relationship, so it can also imply a romantic interest, be mindful of that. but I'd assume then it'd be transcribed with some sort of babe or honey or something.
