be mine superstar ep3

ja really is cute as punn. as leo in dsn he always came off a little too mild and harmless to be convincing, but it's like he was made for this role. just a goofy dorky ball of sunshine with the 🥺est of puppy dog eyes

we love a wise and supportive mom!!! trying to help her son win over his crush like they're classmates in high school lmao. it's surprisingly sweet and wholesome

ugh i hate the managers. both of them but especially priew. they suck and whatshisname the love rival kinda sucks too

ooooooh mr. ice prince Has Taken Notice! (gonna call him ashi bc the viki subs have switched apparently)

OOOH HE'S THINKIN

OOOOOOH HE'S SMILIN

watch out mr. ice prince p'ashi sir or you're gonna fall <3

(so far he's been really nice?? celeb crush storylines so often make the celeb a real asshole but i like him so far)

first has been awfully good at the cool aloof untouchable beauty thing too. i liked him in dsn so i hope he thaws a bit but all in all i'm loving this role reversal (so to speak) (i did not watch remember me lmk if i'm missing anything)

lol mingmuang knows what's up

HAHA. WHAT

come on muang this is workplace harrassment

those beads (?) rattling in wora's mic are going to actually drive me insane. shades of the pearl necklace in singing in the rain

sorry but ashi's face all stretched funny over that pillow will never fail to make me laugh.

i wonder if the sound in this is bad on purpose. bc it's pretty bad

aw i love dancing in dream sequences <3

well that was comedic yet excruciating. yeah punn go back to sleep you dork

damn these sides are messyyyyy! muang's a dick and apparently the doctor is cheating???

lol that's not suspicious at all

leave the poor kid alone muang! idk so far it seems like he's doing this just for fun, no spite or malice, but it's still unkind and poor punn has enough to worry about

i love punn so much by the way he's so cute

cut his fingers cooking for his crush TT poor baby!

i just find him insanely likeable in this show okay

THAT'S SO MEAN MUANG OH MY GOSH. WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU. is he panicking bc he's just realized punn is serious about liking ashi? is he just being a dick? who knows but he's making my boy sad so i'm pissed at him

looks like more of approximately the same next week. v curious about whatever's going on between title and muang though

Hi Anna! I hope you're well and having a good evening ❤️

For the fic ask game, how about 1, 7 and 11 for "Burry me in the shadows of spring"? 👀

Hi Cris!

Thank you a lot for asking, and woah, I'm honestly pleasantly surprised someone asked about Bury Me in The Shadows Of Spring T^T

Thank you a lot for it!

1 What inspired you to write the fic this way?

There's a lot of ways to interpret what means "this way", so let me talk about the narration style, this time. The whole fic is narrated from both PoV's equally - Armin's and Annie's, and another type of chapters, which wasn't out yet, but I can say, that's a flashback chapters.

However, the main structure is crossed narration with AruAni's PoV's. It's story an equal-centric for AruAni, and that's why I played around the way to present it: therefore, the idea was born as we see it now, Annie's chapters with title "Canvas" (instead of Chapter) + title of some famous canvas which actually fits the whole topic/mood of the chapter - another way to highlight how art is important to her; and for Armin - it's "Memory" (instead of Chapter) + some particular part of Annie which impacted him (like "your name" etc). Why it's Memory for him? Well, if I say anything, it'll be a spoiler, however, I can say, that, considering that Armin is dealing with severe post-war PTSD, memories - it's something that helps him not to lose it all completely.

So, that's it!

7 Where did the title come from?

Oh well, I had actually a few alternatives for the title, and I knew I wanted to be related something to spring since the whole story starts in spring, and spring like a declaration of something new, of the new beginning... So I was tossing around all the versions, until one day when I was listening to Of Monsters and Men - Destroyer, and this song is generally is one of the main "OST" for this fic, and here is the line: "I want to be the king of my body and mind // Gravity let me go // Before it bruises and blackens me and you // Bury me in the glow", and this last "Bury me in the" - just hit me really hard, and the following words "shadows of spring" just appeared on their own. I was thinking about something related to the "shadows" in the title, too, since it's quite an evocative metaphor of a person fearing to look behind and to acknowledge all the horrors that happen, and together with "spring" - with something that is about life and about new beginnings - it plays out like something on the verge of oxymyron, something absolutely incompatible, and yet, this soft plea to "Bury me" - is also like the wish for the character to find a solace, a rest. So all together, it basically means - "please, give me a solace in these vivid spring time, full of green and cherry blossoms, but I'm not worth to lay amidst the crisp grass, but only in the shadows".

11 What do you like best about this fic?

Let's say, the setting and the style of narration. I think, that post WW1 Eastern Europe, 1920's, setting is very rare thing in fanfics in general, and that's why I try do my best to show the vibe and atmosphere of the time, the historical events happening on the side of the character's periphery. And for the narration style, well, I guess, it's obvious that I love to play with the structure to convey more emotions and feelings, so this non-typical style of narration in BMSS, I think, it's one of the strongest benefit what makes this story as it is.

Thank you so much for your questions, Cris! It was really a very nice come back to this fic which I love with all my heart, and I really hope to return to this story some day because it's very dear to me.

Thank you, and have a good evening🖤

writer's game in question

[annawayne]

hi anna, i'm here for the writer ask game!! 2 and 9, and if you've already answered these— 10 and 16

Hi Cris! Thank you so much for asking, and sorry for the late reply! 2. Share your favorite part of your first ever fic

Answered it here a-a-and here! I guess, I can't pick more of it since BMSS doesn't have a lot of chapters yet :D 9. Which of your fics is your favorite? Why?

It's still My yellow Light In Your Soft Whispers. The story has so far only 4 chapters, but despite this and everything, it's important to me. And why it's my fav... well, it's a complex thing, it's because of whole main topics, 10 years after the Rumbling, and even my writing style somehow felt more confident and, I guess, it improves :) 10. Write about their first kiss!

Oh, I answered this here :)

16. Share a wip you're excited about

One of those I shared it here! I can't tell more because it's going to be a HUGE spoiler, so that's all by now :3
