hello! could I request Jisung with prompt 7 (and the colour blue) for your 4K celebration? 🥳

7: “Oh, girl, I love how you care. I’ll put your love on a pedestal.”

extra: blue

“no, ‘sung, what the fuck?” you crinkle your nose in disgust at your best friend, stepping away from him - and the sticky half-licked blue raspberry lollipop he’s brandishing - on instinct. he just shrugs, sticking the candy back in his mouth as if he hadn’t just offered to let you put it in yours, too.

“it’s my last day as a free man, (name). just wanted to share the joy,” jisung responds easily, one corner of his mouth upturning before he turns back to tv screen in front of you. “besides,” he continues, leaning forward and swiping a controller off of the coffee table he’s currently using as a footrest. “you aren’t usually this easily grossed out. are you just pissed because i keep kicking your ass in smash?”

“if you’d let me main ike even once-” you start grumbling, only to get cut off by jisung snorting at you. “whatever. fuck super smash bros. also, you’re just getting your wisdom teeth out, you big baby. your life isn’t ending.”

“my mom said i’ll have to avoid this,” he explains, pulling his lollipop out of his mouth again. you notice that his tongue has traces of blue, too, and roll your eyes. it’s as if he’s still a little kid sometimes.

you ignore the tiny part of your brain that wants to taste the artificial raspberry from his lips.

“so?” you scoff, sitting back down on the couch beside him. one of his arms rest over the back of the couch, and he flings this arm over your shoulders once you’re close enough.

“so it’ll be a while ‘til i get to enjoy candy, and that sucks. like, it completely blows. absolutely shakes me to my foundation-”

“i miss when you were shy around me. you spend too much time with hyuck now.” you grumble, cutting him off. jisung says nothing, only laughing as he hands you a controller that you begrudgingly take. it’s once you’ve both picked your characters that he speaks again, voice far softer this time as he forms his words around the candy in his mouth.

“hey, (name)?”

“yeah?”

“you’ll still go to my appointment with me, right?”

“and miss video-taping you saying stupid shit? wouldn’t miss it for the world, sungie.”

“aw, i knew you loved me- shit! did you just punt me off? bro, what the fuck-” as you dissolve into giggles while jisung glares at the screen, smashing buttons furiously, you can’t help but let your gaze trail the side of his face. you’d met jisung when you were both 6, when his family had moved into the house next to yours. over the past 12 years, you’ve watched him grow alongside you from a quiet little boy with a penchant for dance into your handsome and gentle - albeit endearingly annoying - best friend.

even if you don’t say it out loud, he knows that you’ll always be by his side.

♕ ♕ ♕

“i want a smoothie.”

jisung leans over the back of your seat to stage-whisper this directly in your ear, letting out a whine of half-sadness, half-annoyance when you flinch and move away on impulse. his mother, who’s in the drivers’ seat right beside you, heaves a sigh before glancing back at her son.

even when - or maybe especially when - he’s positively loopy off of meds and his face is packed with cotton, he can’t seem to stay still. he fidgets with his for a moment before leaning in again, though he speaks at full volume this time. “i just think they’re good. smoothies are... such a concept. food but liquid. they make me so emotional...i’m going to cry over smoothies. (name), do you cry over smoothies?”

“no,” you start, unsure of whether you’re more amused or annoyed. “but i feel like i’m about to.”

“see,” jisung exclaims, turning to his mother. “(name) sees the vision! the vision is seen. you know what isn’t, though? my glasses. i dropped them and i can’t see anymore. can’t see my glasses either.” he giggles at the absurdity of his situation, registering how ironic it is even through the haze of medication. “wait, if i can’t see my glasses, how will i see my smoothie? oh no...”

“are we actually getting smoothies?” you mumble to his mother out of the corner of your mouth.

“don’t see what else i can do.” she says, smiling at you right before she takes an exit off of the highway. there’s a good smoothie place within a few miles, and you’re sure that’s where you’re all headed.

“if i can’t see it, how will i make sure it’s - oh no...” jisung moans again, evidently in great despair over not being able to see his hypothetical smoothie. he seems unaware of the fact that his glasses are on the seat right next to him.

“i’ll make sure that it’s blue raspberry, ‘sung,” you assure him, knowing what jisung means even if he hasn’t finished his thought. “i promise.”

“really?” jisung asks, eyes widening. you turn back to give him a reassuring smile, resisting the urge to giggle at how he’s acting. his face splits into a wide grin, though it’s followed immediately after by him groaning. you wince in sympathy.

“you know, (name),” jisung starts, speaking once he’s no longer in immediate pain. “i love how you care about me. if i- if i could put your love on a pedestal i would, because it’s like a trophy.”

now it’s your turn for your eyes to widen, and as you feel the amused gaze of jisung’s mom on your face, you can’t help but burn out of embarrassment and just the smallest bit of hope.

“i’m glad i have it because i give you all my love too. that, and i like trophies,” jisung continues thoughtfully, voice even more muffled than before. “i like trophies and winning. you should know since you never win at smash. you suck at smash, actually-”

“we’re here, jisung!” your best friend’s mom interrupts her son, much to your couples gratitude and mortification. jisung, confused but still eager, gets out of the car first, smoothie-ready in his entirety. just as you’re about to climb out of the passenger’s seat, his mom stops you with a gentle hand on your shoulder.

“talk to him about this when he’s cognizant,” she says, looking directly into your eyes. “he means what he’s saying, even if he’s a little out of it right now.”

your heart beats just a little louder in your chest, and it’s all you can do to blink at her and nod before pushing yourself out of the car. jisung... likes having your love? he actively gives you his own love? your mind is reeling as you step out of the car, but as jisung - your best friend, your partner-in-crime, your childhood crush who’s currently appraising the smoothie shop’s sign like it’s from an alien planet - sees you, his eyes light up. you hold out your hand, and he envelopes your palm in his huge one as if it’s second nature, which you suppose it is.

“ready to pick out what you want?” you ask.

“will you really check for me?” even though you notice that he’s finally wearing his glasses now, you don’t say anything about them. instead, you nod as you push open the doors to the shop.

“i’ll always check for you, ‘sung.”

EPISODE 4: MILLY

Writing Blog URL(s): @bumblebeenct

Name: Milly

Age: 18

Nationality: Welsh

Languages: English

Star Sign: Capricorn

MBTI: ISFP-T

What fandom(s) do you write for?

I write for NCT, but I have written for Harry Potter in the past

When did you post your first piece?

Around the empathy era I’m pretty sure, 2018? I used to do moodboards only but I was inspired by other writers to give it a go

Do you write fluff/angst/crack/general/smut, combo, etc? Why?

I find that I stick to the fluff/angst tropes because they’re easier to formulate because I can relate myself to the scenario more. I also find that its also more interesting to write angst because there's complications to a story that take longer to form and you have to really think about the different emotions the characters are feeling.

Do you write OCs, X Readers, Ships...etc?

I write x reader mostly, but at some point in the future I’m thinking of writing an OC purely because the concept I want to focus on has a particular emphasis on name and I don’t think it would work with y/n

Why did you start writing on Tumblr?

I used to use Wattpad but it was very difficult to promote myself and I struggled to meet anyone through it. On tumblr it was much easier to orientate and the community was so much nicer.

What inspires you to write?

My mutuals! And other writers on tumblr, everyone is so supportive and kind it’s amazing. Also the feedback I sometimes get from readers, it makes me really happy whenever I get a comment or someone interacts with a piece I enjoyed writing, or alternatively when someone supports a fic I wasn’t confident in as it really boosts my confidence :)

What genres/AUs do you enjoy writing the most?

School/ College aus because they’re very familiar and I am confident in getting the tropes and ideas right. But I also like works inspired by movies or songs because there’s so much to work from and it’s nice to see where you can take the plot and lyrics in your own story.

What do you hope your readers take away from your work?

That writing is for everyone, honestly at the end of the day I’m just a kid in my room writing stories about artists I’m a really big fan of. If you want to write you can, and you don’t have to necessarily be a “big” blog or writer to do it.

What do you do when you hit a rough spot creatively?

Take a break, that’s my first port of call - usually in the method of food or I look at the inspiration material again, I listen to the song, read the lyrics, consult my friends and mutuals for help. It’s always good to be able to put something down to start again later when you’re struck with inspiration

What is your favorite work and why? Your most successful?

My favourite personally at the moment (since one I really like is currently, as of answering this question, unpublished) is ‘Remember Me’ purely because it was the work I was the most passionate about writing and it really let me explore a new field of writing, since a lot of my stuff had been fluff before. My most successful in terms of notes is my Mark one shot ‘Sugar and Spice’ and I’m very proud of it.

Who is your favorite person to write about?

Park Jisung, my ult bias, I have to convince myself to write for other members sometimes as I often resist the urge to be a Jisung blog. However I have been enjoying writing for Mark and Hendery recently, as my other NCT biases

Do you think there’s a difference between writing fanfiction vs. completely original prose?

To a certain extent yes, it really depends on the writer. For many fanfiction stories, including ones we may label “cliche” the only difference is who it’s about, there are countless amazing fics I’ve read which I would assume could be made into a novel, the only thing making it fanfiction being the characters themselves.

What do you think makes a good story?

Feeling! There’s nothing that really constitutes a “good story” as it’s all subjective, but if you can read a story and feel what the characters feel, or even just see the emotions the writer is trying to portray then it’s definitely a good story. I’ve cried while reading most of, if not all my favourite stories.

What is your writing process like?

I plan first in a little notebook so I don’t forget any of my ideas or plans and then I try to churn it out whenever I have access to my computer, my speaker and a comfortable blanket. I like to “get in the zone” and then write as much as I possibly can. I usually think of ideas as I write so the notebook helps me put them in order and make sure I don’t get too ahead of myself.

Would you ever repurpose a fic into a completely original story?

I have thought about it and honestly, I’m not sure. My fics are not series’ and they’re all very short - most of them under 4k so I’d have to turn the idea into a full length thing you know? But I have thought about doing the opposite with a very old original story of mine I’ve otherwise given up on but still holds a special place in my heart.

What tropes do you love, and what tropes can’t you stand?

I am a sucker for the enemies to lovers trope mainly because the character development in these stories can be so much more interesting and complex. On the other hand I’m not fond of “yandere” type fics, however I have read several well written ones which I cannot speak against because they were actually really good.

How much would you say audience feedback/engagement means to you?

I’d say a lot, in terms of how much I write feedback means a lot to me - it’s also nice to hear what people think of things you’ve written because it’s a different view from your own and sometimes can boost confidence. I am also open to constructive criticism if any writers have any tips or suggestions for future works I’m always open to listen.

What has been one of the biggest factors of your success (of any size)?

When I see anyone interacting with my work it’s really rewarding and I love when people reblog with custom tags because it lets me know that people actually like what I do and to me, that’s a success.

Favorite color: Purple

Favorite food: Pasta

Favorite movie: Heathers (1988)

Favorite ice cream flavor: Cookie Dough

Favorite animal: I would say bees, but I don’t think that counts so I’ll say dogs

Coffee or tea? What are you ordering?

Coffee, either black or a really fancy one with frothy milk

Dream job (whether you have a job or not)

I’d love to be a singer honestly, but at the moment I’m working towards education I hope one day to be a lecturer

Go-to karaoke song

Best Part by Daniel Caesar or Escape (the pina colada song) by Robert Holmes because it’s funny

If you could have one superpower, what would you choose?

Stopping time because there’s so much you can do - except the question is, would I continue to age even if time has stopped?

If you could visit a historical era, which would you choose?

My mind goes to two extremes, I think either ancient Greece because why not and the 1950’s purely for fashion and music.

If you could restart your life, knowing what you do now, would you?

No, but I think if I could restart specific moments I would. There are so many good moments but some things you don’t want to relive even if you can change the outcome.

Would you rather fight 100 chicken-sized horses or one horse-sized chicken?

100 chicken sized horses, I’d be terrified of a horse sized chicken it would probably be able to eat me and I’m not about that life, tiny horses I can deal with. Kill them with Kindness or whatever haha.

If you were a trope in a teen high school movie, what would you have been?

A mix of quiet teachers pet and loud side character friend. The duality kills me, I can be shouting with my friends one minute but whispering the minute the teacher asks me a question.

Do you believe in aliens/supernatural creatures?

I’d like to, I think some are really cool and it would be amazing to live among them, but also some are dangerous, but I would love to see or meet some creatures. Imagine living with dragons man that would be epic.

What are some of your favorite hobbies and how did you get into them?

I really like reading, courtesy of Harry Potter, but I also enjoy singing and playing the piano which I started doing more often in secondary school when my piano teacher suggested I started to sing as well :)

Fun fact about yourself that not everyone would know?

I did Karate for about 10/11 years, and I’m a black belt *insert awkward smile here*

Do you think fanfic writers get unfairly judged?

A lot of the time yes, there is a stigma around fanfiction and often paints us in a negative light but we just happen to be a community of creative fans who want to share and support the people we write about. But I can see where the stigma comes from, sometimes it can be taken a bit far and I am aware that some things make the artists themselves uncomfortable. I think if people who judge fanfiction are referring to it as a single idea it becomes unfair because it is all different, but I also think that writers of fanfiction themselves have to make sure they don’t cross any boundaries when writing that could make readers or the artist (if they ever happened to stumble across your work) uncomfortable.

Do you think art can be a medium for change?

Yes in some ways of course. Art is not only a way to express what the creator themselves is feeling but it is also a way to teach others about issues, prejudices and ideals. For literature specifically it allows you into the shoes of another person you may not have understood before, in art pieces there’s a clear message and encourages people to educate themselves on certain issues which in turn makes room for change.

Do you ever feel there are times when you’re writing for others, rather than yourself?

Sometimes if i’ve been suggested or requested to write something because it isn’t an idea that comes for me but mainly if I am aware that someone is waiting for a fic or someone has said they’re anticipating it I feel like I’m writing for others, but I don’t particularly mind it because it almost encourages me to write to a better standard.

Do you ever feel like people have misunderstood you or your writing at times?

Not particularly, I'm often as clear as I can be when portraying meaning, or I will straight up say it in a different thread or to different people because I can’t keep secrets and I’m a sucker for a spoiler. Although I am constantly worried about the way I come off in messages and things like that - I am a terrible overthinker.

Do your offline friends/loved ones know you write for Tumblr?

A few of my closest friends and other kpop stans I am friends with irl are aware of my blog and support me as much as they can with what little information I give them. I think only one of my irls has my url because she reads and I send her my binge reviews when I do them.

What is one thing you wish you could tell your followers?

Thank you so much, honestly it’s cheesy but without them I don’t know where my blog would be. The amount of them surprises me everyday and I don’t think I believe it half the time. Also if anyone ever needs help or support or just wants a chat I’m open, its 100% likely that if you interact with me or my posts on the regular then I will recognise you when you come say hi, I’m not that scary I promise.

Do you have any advice for aspiring writers who might be too scared to put themselves out there?

Just do it! It’s better to get your stuff out there and circulating to get a better idea of what people like and where your strong suit is, the more you put out the more you grow. But if you’re scared, talk to other creators, we’re always open to help and we can let you know what to do, it was something that helped me out :)

Are there any times when you regret joining Tumblr?

When I first started there was a lot of struggle with me trying to figure out my style and what I wanted to do, and it was a learning curve of what can I do, what should I avoid and who am I doing this for. Sometimes when I’m really down I will question why I do it, but I never regret it because it has allowed me to make some wonderful friends and be exposed to some amazing creations and get more into something I’ve always liked doing, writing.

Do you have any mutuals who have been particularly formative/supportive in your Tumblr journey?

I don’t want this to be too long, but I feel like it could be. I’ve met so many wonderful people and I love all of them so much, but in terms of being formative and supportive these are some of the people I talk to the most. @renjunwrites - I am a huge fan of Denise and to even be able to be in conversation with her about the stuff she writes is mindblowing to me, @nanasarea - nana was one of the first people I spoke to (before I joined discord) and was really accepting of my antics from day one. @glossyjaems - me and Louna have become very close recently and I can’t wait for our project to launch, keep an eye out for that. @mjlkau Anie is really one of the biggest supporters I have, always willing to read what I send her and give me support and love. There’s so many more people I’d love to mention but this would go on forever, to anyone ever involved in my writing process I’m thinking of you as I write this and I love you all (I feel really bad not talking about every single one omg).

Ending thoughts:

“We’ll be alright, I want to try again” - Try Again d.ear (ft. Jaehyun) because this is something I hold close, ‘try again, we’ll all be alright in the end’
