Aera would look at this lil guy and internally combust. Suho would not be happy to see said lil guy in his apartment later that evening.

If your character had the choice between ultimate love, money, or power, what would they pick? Why? What would change their mind?

Songs and Ships

@dancinginsepia tagged me in this and I'm tagging @valentinerose529 @themswritinwords and @bittersqxtch

rules: write two to five songs from them that represent your a ship between your ocs (it can be platonic or romantic or a secret third thing). then add a quote from said wip (if possible!) underneath it.

For this one, I'm gonna do Darcey and René from NYTF, and pull a little bit from my archive. If you don't like slightly spicy stuff, be warned!

Dinner and Diatribes - Hozier

René is often required to go to parties and formal events, and Darcey oftentimes accompanies him. This song makes me think of their relationship, once they've gotten comfortable with one another, and they're sneaking out of these big events that both of them hate

Darcey interrupted him by shoving him out the door, before following behind. He wrapped a hand around René’s waist, holding him just a little bit too tight. 

THAT'S WHAT I WANT - Lil Nas X

Along the same lines as Dinner and Diatribes but more love rather than just straight up fucking.

[René] pressed as much of his body as he could against Darcey, chest to chest, reveling in the skin to skin contact. That’s when he let out a choked noise, one he hadn’t even noticed was building in the back of his throat.

If We Were Vampires - Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit

This one gets a little more sad, melancholic. Darcey and René didn't end up falling in love until Darcey was into his 30s. There's this sense of the fact both of them don't have as much time as some of the other couples have had. René also knows he's most likely going to live much longer than Darcey, thanks to his past, and hates picturing what his life will look like once Darcey's gone.

René shook his head in response, and Darcey let out a long breath, before pulling René into a tight hug. He whined and tried to pull away, but finally relaxed into the pressure, and hugged Darcey back. With his partner’s arms around him, René noticed the shaky feeling started to fade away.

Songs and Ships

thank you @athenswrites for the tag! i shall add @imslowlydisintegrating and @taeonysus8 (i really need more writer moots sob sob)

the rules of this tag game: write 2-5 songs that represent a ship between your characters (can be romantic or platonic or a secret third thing). then add a quote from your WIP beneath each song (if possible!).

i've decided that i'm gonna focus on Jae and Jun from TGCT for this since i'm currently working on that fic and this might help me get the vibes right for once (literally on my third rewrite already, someone send help ;^;)

HER - Chase Atlantic

"ꜱʜᴇ ꜱᴀʏꜱ 'ᴏᴏʜ, ᴡᴇ ᴄᴏᴜʟᴅ ᴅᴏ ᴡʜᴀᴛᴇᴠᴇʀ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ, ʙᴜᴛ ʙᴏʏ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ɢᴏ ꜰᴀʟʟɪɴɢ ɪɴ ʟᴏᴠᴇ…ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴀɴ'ᴛ ꜱᴛᴀʏ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴍᴇ, ᴀʟʟ ʏᴏᴜ'ʟʟ ᴇᴠᴇʀ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ɪꜱ ᴏɴᴇ ᴅᴀʏ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴍᴇ'."

this song reminds me of them because, in a moment of vulnerability, Jae makes Jun promise that he will keep hating her until the end of time. her greatest secret is that she is terminally ill (suffering from a heart illness) and that's why she lives every day like it's her last - considering how she refuses bad medication most days, she could drop dead at any moment. anyway, she has no problem hanging out with Jun and getting into messy situations with him because she believes that he will keep hating her indefinitely. unlike her friends, he won't mourn her when she dies - or at least that's what she believes. even when things get a little heated and feelings start brewing, Jae pushes the longing aside and intends to cut him off when the time comes. having a relationship with him would only subject Jun to a great deal of heartache and Jae would much rather he stay as her enemy than have him become something more only to end up wasting his life on mourning her once she passes away.

"Please hate me," Jae whispered, pulling him out of his thoughts.  When he turned to look at her, he was caught off by the silent plea shining in her eyes. "Why?" Jun frowned, confused by her request. "Why do you want me to hate you?" "Because you hated me before," Jae responded quietly. "It should be easy for you to keep hating me even if we start hanging out and acting civil with one another like this." A sad smile tugged at the corners of her lips as she added, "Besides, you never liked me in the first place, did you? So don't change that now. Don't stop hating me."

"ɪꜰ ɪ'ᴍ ꜱᴜᴄʜ ᴀ ɴɪᴄᴇ ɢᴜʏ ᴀɴᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴅ ᴀ ɢʀᴇᴀᴛ ᴛɪᴍᴇ, ᴡʜʏ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ᴡᴇ ᴋɪᴄᴋ ɪᴛ ᴜᴘ ᴀ ɴᴏᴛᴄʜ? ʜᴏᴡ ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ᴏᴠᴇʀ, ᴍᴏᴠᴇ ɪɴ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴇ ᴄʟᴏꜱᴇʀ ᴀɴᴅ ʟᴇᴛ ᴍʏ ʜᴀɴᴅꜱ ɢɪᴠᴇ ɪᴛ ᴀ ꜱʜᴏᴛ"

Just Friends - JORDY

Jun is the first to breach the thin line between love and hate. being reluctant acquaintances with Jae seems impossible until he finds himself thinking constantly about her, wondering if she got home safely from school, becoming irritated when she's too close to other guys, and so on. he denies it time and time again, half because he cannot imagine that he could've caught feelings for his enemy and half because he subconsciously knows that nothing good will come out of him developing feelings for her. still, a part of him can't help but yearn to cross over that line. unfortunately, Jae is intent on staying enemies. no one said anything about that coming with a few benefits though...

Uh oh, he thought, his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed. This won't end well. "Hey," he uttered quietly, knowing that he should probably step away from her but not being able to move from the spot. Jae quirked her eyebrow at him. Equally quietly, she replied, "Hi...?" "About my wish..." "What about it?" Jun's eyes flickered down to her lips briefly. Influenced by a sudden burst of bravery, he blurted out, "I know what I want." "Oh yeah?" Jae tilted her head to the side curiously, a small smile playing on her lips. She found his awkwardness adorable, but she wasn't about to tell him that. Instead, voice quiet, she prompted, "What is it?" "...Kiss me."

"ᴛʀᴀᴘᴘᴇᴅ ɪɴ ᴀ ᴅʀᴇᴀᴍ, ᴄᴀɴ'ᴛ ʙʀᴇᴀᴋ ꜰʀᴇᴇ, ɪᴛ'ꜱ ʟɪᴋᴇ ʀᴇᴀʟɪᴛʏ ɪꜱ ᴍᴏᴄᴋɪɴɢ ᴍᴇ. ɪ'ᴍ ꜱᴄʀᴇᴀᴍɪɴɢ ᴀɴᴅ ꜱʜᴏᴜᴛɪɴɢ ʙᴜᴛ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ'ꜱ ɴᴏ ꜱᴏᴜɴᴅ. ɪ'ᴍ ʟᴏꜱᴛ, ɪ'ᴍ ꜱᴛᴜᴄᴋ, ɪ ᴄᴀɴ'ᴛ ʙᴇ ꜰᴏᴜɴᴅ"

Trapped In A Dream - RudyWade

when they figure out that they are living in the world of a manhwa and that all that they have been through was scripted by The Writer for the plot, Jae and Jun begin to question everything - their past, their hardships, their relationship, and where The Writer intends to take the story next. amidst the chaos, they start to remember bits and pieces of their previous lives and both start wondering whether their feelings for one another are real or if, perhaps, they are nothing more than a set-up forced upon them by their god.

(i have yet to write this section so no WIP writing for this i'm afraid)

[bittersqxtch]

"I'm tired of almost. We can never be something, but we also can't go back to being nothing. And if we keep going like this, we'll forever be stuck in the murky middle, going back and forth between too little and too much. I don't know about you, but I'm already sick of it, so...maybe it's best to stop now."

- excerpt from a book I'll never write

[mesmerisingyou-bittersqxtch]

even before she regains the memories of her past lives, Byeol always takes one look at Kyung and goes "I dibs the depressed loser. he's mine. imma make a pathetic malewife outta him". in every universe, she picks him.

and the brilliant part is that Kyung never complains. he sees this innocent-looking woman with a spark of insanity in her eyes and willingly walks into whatever trap she's set up for him. he, too, picks her in every universe.

[bittersqxtch]

yeah...I say I miss baek kyung like 100 times a day as if I'm literally not working on rewriting mesmerising you right now 😩

Jae, beaming: that was so fun!

Seojun, looking an inch away from death's doorstep: if by "fun" you mean "the worst experience of our lives so far" then yeah, sure, it was very fun.
