June 12: Tag nominations close. Sign-ups open.

June 26: Sign-ups close.

June 29: Assignments are out.

July 27: Assignments are due.

August 3: Works are revealed, with all creators anonymous.

August 10: Creators are revealed.

August 14 (approximately): Discord server closes.

Glossary

Assignment: The person you are assigned to make a gift for. You will receive a list of their requests and pick one to make.

Canon Tag: A tag that has been used enough that AO3's volunteers have organized into the tag list. These are the ones that appear on the dropdown menu when you're entering tags.

DNW: "Do Not Want," a list of things you do not want included in a gift for you. Everyone is encouraged to have one of these, and it must be followed by your gifter. DNWs must be reasonable, clear, and polite, but they can be petty ("none of this popular ship").

Exchange: A "gift exchange," where everyone receives a gift of a fan creation, and everyone makes a gift of a fan creation.

Match: When you offer something someone else requests, or you request something someone else offers, you "match" with them! You will need to at least have one offer that matches someone else's request in order to participate.

Offer: When you sign up, you will make a list of things you "offer" to create.

Pinch hitter: Someone who makes an emergency gift for someone whose gifter dropped out. You are welcome to participate only as a pinch hitter.

Request: When you sign up, you will make a list of things you "request" other people create.

Tag nominations: A period of time where people can nominate the relationships and AUs they want involved in the exchange. These will be the ONLY relationships and AUs permitted, so you want to nominate tags!

Treat: An extra gift you make with no expectation of a gift in return! You can make them for anyone in the exchange, whether or not you're assigned to them. It's just a fun and nice thing to do!

Gift Minimums:

Fic: 1000 words, with an ending

Art: A drawing completed to a level you would normally post as "finished"

Rules for Participating:

You must join the Discord server and follow all rules listed there.

You must be 13 or older.

You must have an AO3 account, sign up through AO3, and post your gift on AO3. AO3 accepts fan creations of all types.

You must do your best to make a gift that meets the minimum requirements, and that you think your recipient will like, within the time of the event.

You must contact a moderator as soon as possible if you think you will not finish your gift in time.

You must keep your gift and recipient anonymous until creator reveals.

More information to come! I hope to see you all soon!

FAQ

What counts as a fairy tale?

I am using a broad definition! Any story that contains fairy tale elements: enchantments, curses, witches, wizards, warlocks, magic, talking animals, fairies, fae, trickery, etc... is allowed in the exchange! This could include a classic fairy tale, like Hansel and Gretel; an adaptation like Tangled, Ella Enchanted, or Land of Stories; or even an original fairy tale!

During tag nominations, people will "nominate" the specific AUs (fairy tales) they want included. These will be the only ones eligible for the exchange, so get an AO3 account and participate in tag nominations if you want to make sure something is included!

What if I don't match with anyone?

If no one wants to receive what you offer to make: We will give you an opportunity to offer more things. If you do not want to, unfortunately, you will not be able to participate in the exchange.

If no one offers to make what you want to receive: You can still participate. We will put you up as a pinch hit, meaning people can offer to make a gift for you without being assigned to.

What if I don't get a gift?

We will not reveal the works until everyone has a gift. If no one picks up a pinch hit, the exchange will remain closed until someone does. Everyone who participates will receive a gift.

What isn't allowed in the exchange?

For the comfort of the most number of participants: noncon, incest, bestiality, romantic relationships between characters who are canonically adults (over 18) and characters who are canonically minors (under 18), and NSFW are not permitted.

Considering the series, graphic violence and major character death are allowed, but only if the recipient says they're okay with receiving them.

My recipient requested ten things! How many do I have to make?

Only one! You can choose any of your recipient's requests to make, even ones you didn't originally offer.

Can I make more than one gift?

If you have more than one AO3 account, you may sign up multiple times. But please only do this if you're sure you can finish both gifts in time!

You can also be a pinch hitter, filling in for people who drop out, or make "treats"--extra gifts just for fun. But you won't receive extra gifts for either of these things.

Is there a nip in the air, held off by the cozy sweater Caroline can’t help stealing from Klaus? Is the snow coming down outside the porch of their posh Swiss cabin? The sun is setting over the horizon and the northern lights are shimmering over the horizon. The darkest days of the year have come. Come, hold off the night with us and tell tales of Klaus and Caroline in the snows of New York, in the wilds of Russia, in the cold bluster of the Highlands. Or perhaps you’ll be fantastical and tell us tales of the winter Fae, or the Snow Queen and the man who melted her heart. Gather by the fire, bring a cup of your drink of choice. It’s time for the Klaroline Winter Exchange…

4. If you are doing a graphic, gifset, video, or similar gift and feel the need to watermark or include your name/url on it before your identity has been revealed that’s totally fine. I understand that people get nervous about their art getting stolen or saved without permission. This is supposed to be fun, not anxiety producing.

5. All gifts have to be complete when you submit them. You’re welcome to upload drafts, but make sure that whatever you upload can stand alone if it goes up like that. Please do not put in random drabble bits or placeholders.

6. Once the gifts are posted, commenting on your gift is required. Everyone works very hard to make a gift their giftee will love, and it’s very important to be sure they feel appreciated for putting the time into it!

Guidelines for Gifts:

Drabbles:

The minimum word count is a thousand words, but writing more is highly encouraged.

All drabbles should be new. In other words, no continuing previous works that you’ve posted before (that will reveal your secret identity and require your giftee to go back and read old stuff you’ve done to enjoy their gift). You are, of course, allowed to add to the piece after it’s been posted if you want to.

Asking a beta or friend to look over your work is totally fine, just make sure you swear them to secrecy so that your giftee can be surprised ;)

Gif Sets:

Gifsets should include four gifs at minimum.

If you wish, you can include a caption such as a mini-drabble, line of dialogue, or small description. You can also add a full drabble if you want. I doubt anyone will complain :)

Graphics, Manips, Aesthetics, and Moodboards:

Two images minimum for graphics and manips.

Eight panel minimum for aesthetics and moodboards.

Must include a caption, such as a mini-drabble, line of dialogue, or small description. You can also add a full drabble if you want. I doubt anyone will complain :)

Videos:

Length should be a minimum of one minute.

Upload it to YouTube or another video website of your choice and upload it to Ao3. Please also send me the link so that I can queue it up for reveals.

Playlists:

Minimum of eight songs.

Must include a cover, but it doesn’t have to be detailed Art™. Just make sure to have the title.

Do not use someone else’s art as your cover without permission.

Upload to 8tracks, do a shared Spotify playlist, or make a YouTube video playlist with the songs to link.

Original Fanart (drawings, paintings, etc.):

You are a very talented and rare superhuman and I just wanted to make note of that.

Pinch Hitting

A pinch hitter is a fancy way of saying an emergency gifter if someone can’t complete their gift on time. If you would like to lend a hand, please private message me so that I can fling things at you if needed. Just please make sure you have enough free time between November 12 and January 11 to complete the extra gift.

Fun New Facts/Details About Artagan From His Comic Series

(spoilers for the tales of exandria ii: artagan comic run! this was such a (fey)wild ride to read 💚)

-this is the second comic to feature artagan with freckles & extremely expressive ears, and also portrays him with catlike eyes. he can also grow a tuft of a chin-beard! my bearded artagan agenda wins

-we know from egtw that artagan was originally banished from exandria for creating a cult around a whale carcass. we learn in this comic series he named said whale fucking mister demeanor.

-he has been to fey court 4,012 times, by his approximation

-if this wasnt a more blatantly obvious fact than "the sky is blue": artagan is bi/pan. but cannot in any capacity keep up any relationship.

-the first mortal he ever met and befriended was a human named gol. at first gol thought he was an angel or savior but by the end he felt artagan was a curse from the nine hells, for all the chaos & discord he wrought on his village, turning them against each other via pranks and then. whale carcassing

-want to know why arti hates the theatre? good news, we now know! he used to adore the stage before a few fae put on a play mocking his entire life. he interrupted, threw a fit, and said he'd improv his role, but was boo'ed for interrupting the show. so. he set the stage on fire. yes there was a kill count. no he does not care

-he has a unique relationship to keyleth. she's still pissed at him for killing vax, but she is the only one in the fey court hearings he trusts to help him escape - and she does, as artagan points out she owes him for vilya. she drags him through (literal) mud about his actions and does not hold back on how disgusting she thinks he is, but she snaps him into near-clarity, and she's surprised but accepts that humility.

-the term Jestie is canon. i win!

-this isnt a new fact but god. jester & arti love each other so much.

-keyleth & jester band together and are the only two to defend artagan in court, keyleth even going against vox machina's judgement. both acknowledge he has (indirectly) saved the world and shown kindness to them, and jester insists that he is changing (and artagan thinks, he is. he really, really tried to be good, for them. "oh, gals. i may not have always done good, but... those times, i really did. for them, i did."

-sammanar & elmenore are astounded anyone would defend artagan, but lower his sentence, from eternal imprisonment...

to mortality.

the end of the fourth & final issue stated to be continued at the end, so we'll see where this goes! i have only a rough idea where in the timeline this series takes place, post campaign 2, but this is definitely a new development i am curious to see if permanent. even in echoes of the solstice i think that canon can fit somewhat if we stretch it but i really dont know when this mortal stretch begins or maybe ends! either way, he's presently utterly terrified.

HARRO

It’s me, I have revived after long periods of sleeping!

Anyway how have you been? I’ve read your works recently and it’s absolutely amazing as always! The idea of reader playing the ukulele and singing is a common thing in your story, they’re just chill like that frfr

But I gotta say this. Reader reminds me and gives off Yaelokre vibes-

If you haven’t heard abt who or what yaelokre is, they’re a music artist that makes absolutely beautiful little songs with amazing illustrated images! With interesting characters, storytelling and all that silly Willy stuff!

I wonder, is reader the type to also create their own stories using music?

I can imagine them playing music and singing, casually telling tales of how many times they died and all those traumatic stuff-

- 🛎 ANON

Hi 🛎️anon! Good to see you again!

Currently I’m in Germany (which is why I’ve been more inactive than usual lol) which has been amazing so far! Tomorrow I’m gonna see Poland!

Determination y/n loves to sing and play! It was something they mainly learned from Brook’s crew and just carried with them and inspired them to learn more instruments. In a kinda sad way they use it to fill the silence of the days they’ve spent afloat with no one, as well as keeping themself from going mad. But besides that I think they just like playing to make others happy, because they’re a chill little bean.

But as for Yaelokre, I love their music! I’m not up to date with their lore since it’s on a discord channel and I’m too antisocial to join it lol. But I really enjoy their vibe and the folk inspired music and imagery they use. I’ve always been a sucker for woodsy and fae stuff so it’s right up my alley, along with like the oh hellos and Celtic women.

I definitely can see the comparison of determination! Y/n and them. A bunch of gremlin children playing music in the woods, y/n would definitely sport a crow mask and cloak with gold shiny star bits. I also imagine y/n has definitely add their own songs and music, though they would typically play it in the time they thought no one was listening.

Y/n typically likes playing songs they’ve learned on the sea as a sort of tribute to the old sailors that used to sing them. Binks booze for example is one they hold onto for the memory of Brook and because they played it for Roger as well. Though in the dead of night or alone they would play their own songs and scores. Most I’d imagine would be somber, perhaps even a bit sad but within their music lies an underlying tone of hope and joy just needing a little nudging to be free.

I like the idea of Luffy hearing it one night and begging y/n to play more of their own music. So, very slowly they begin to do so while the crew listens and overtime those joyous beats start becoming more prominent.

#🛎️ anon #answers #determination!#hello again!!!!!!!

random question, but do you mind if you get asks about projects that you're not working on right now, and/or are particularly old at this point? also, would you ever make, like, a discord server (or something similar) for readers and enthusiasts of your work to join maybe?

Hi anon!

I don't mind at all! Tbh a lot of the time I love being able to talk about old projects or things that I worked on from years ago, and I love getting comments on those works as well.

There is a Discord server! (Link will expire in 7 days from this being posted). The link is shared only intermittently to keep the numbers manageable and also to stop bots etc. and bad faith raids and stuff, but otherwise all are welcome. :) Mind the rules, and it's 18+ only (given my content!)

#asks and answers #personal #fae tales discord #i share the link basically when i'm asked sdakjfas #but i don't leave it up permanently anywhere because that's just #asking for trouble dsalkfjsda

Greetings, folks! This week we’re highlighting Mamó’s homestead - her hut between the Forest and the Bog. Our Art Director, Morgan, goes further into detail on the design.

When Henry and I were first pinning down concept art ideas and inspirations, I knew I would have to shift my style in a direction I’ve not typically explored in my work (in a good way!). I’ve been studying gouache as a medium for a little bit, and a large inspiration for Henry was the Random House Book of Fairy Tales, a collection of illustrated folk tales from his childhood. I drew a lot of inspiration from Eyvind Earle, the graphical illustration master and a huge inspiration to make art in my youth. In my research, I also studied the style of Little Golden Books from the 1960s. I had a hand-me-down set from my mom, which I read a whole lot as a kid. These all felt like a good base to evoke a feeling of a fairy tale we’ve heard in our childhood. In designing the homestead, I wanted to visually ground Mamó at a neutral point - on the west lies the dark bog and to the east is the forest leading to the realm of the fae. Ultimately, however one chooses to play the witch can make her the sinister presence the townsfolk say she is, or more benevolent than we were led to believe, and I felt it was important to visually communicate that in every environment in-game. I enjoy a story of a witch that can manipulate her scenery, creating a false sense of security to the observer. But is Mamó that type of witch or simply a self-sufficient old woman?

is Eckil a fae (something of a weird character study post)

Random thought passed around the discord (among other conversation) is that Eckil is fae-coded.

I mean yeah thinking about it, 'strange uncanny human in a moth wing cloak stealing people's bones' sounds pretty much like a fae sighting to be fully honest.

But then I started thinking about it so now we have more thoughts.

The main thought is that Eckil really is just, like, two steps away from being some kind of fae, if they aren't just straight up one already. It sounds weird but I do have points so here we go, mini-essay/character study time. [Upon reflection while writing, a dehumanization warning is likely warrented for the entirety of this writing as it does highly discuss themes of detacting from humanity and explicit seperation. I will also give warnings on mentions of death/killing, mentions of military service/being gone for long periods, commentary on social expectations of the Victorian Era, potentially some discussion of tramua, and general themes of social seperation/detactment/otherness.]

Uncanny

One of the main points here is Eckil's uncanniness. I know I don't post to Tumblr often on it yet (as it comes later in Eckil's Tale then we're at, and I don't usually just post on my ocs here) but thanks to MA developments Eckil has many traits that would be considered uncanny to regular people (more canines, more diamond/rhombus like irises, nails being more akin to claws, overall just...sharper then a human should be).

While it is rooted from MA, and therefore could just be explained as typical Neathy effects of such a study, the specific way it manifests does cause Eckil to seem more akin to something like a fae/changeling or skin-stealer then what often happens when folks change from MA (often becoming more like were-creatures, from what I've seen of some friends). With the potential of further change when they hit MA 7 (and some possible changes soon from hitting 5), I feel it just becomes more likely that they really do end up looking like a fae rather then a human. How MA affects a character's humanity is...up to interpretation, but for Eckil I do think there's a point where it began to seperate them from being fully human.

Something to say on this is also that Eckil actively accepts being inhuman, too. Less a point on them being a fae specifically but it feels important to acknowledge that Eckil does enjoy these changes on a personal standpoint (how they feel on how it makes others view them is...tricky, to say the least, but that's not the point of the post).

Slight Explanation

Another point is..where we start to get into more personality stuff then simply analyzing peligin.

Eckil wants to be seperate from (human) society and it's expectations. While this...arguably isn't a point as to them being a fae, it helps explain some of their actions and feelings, especially towards societal morals and limitations for certain topics (particularly on death and art).

It also makes for a very fragile and strange line when you factor in that Eckil doesn't want to be viewed as not themself. Identity and retaining it is something very important to Eckil, so is the notion that while someone can change they are still the same person. However Eckil's view on being percieved as human is remarkably different (in that they don't care if they are seen as human or something else).

Like I said, this is far less a point for them being a fae, and far more a general explanation of some of the other things I'm gonna bring up, and why they hold some of the views they do.

Viewpoints

Things that don't really factor into either proof of humanity or fae, but feel important to acknowledge as views Eckil has regarding humanity, themself, and morality (particularly due to relevance to the conversation). This will also elaborate some on why Eckil has these viewpoints, which will include references to their past on the Surface and potentially some on their time in the army. Perhaps I'll make another post elaborating on Eckil's life, but for now the references will be as brief as they can understandably be.

• Prior mentioned apathy towards being considered human or other (general thing they picked up from being in the Neath and around humaniod/inhuman folk)

• Prior mentioned apathy/hatred for socialital expectations (this bases some in their experiences of returning from being gone for years and having almost no-one actually listen when they tried to acknowledge that they saw some fucked up things while serving, as well as in being expected to be married and start a family, tying into the next viewpoint mention) [another note here; when they DID finally begin to act different (like expected) and it didn't fall into what people thought was respectable, Eckil did experience a period of being considered bad to be around and became something of a social outcast. Part of why this is hatred, and not simply a dislike or bordering on neutrality]

• Prior mentioned fear towards being considered someone else entirely (once again, based in returning from service and being treated like a entirely different man. Many experiences and shown ideals they expressed before leaving were considered void, and they were expected to act in a entirely different manner, be someone entirely new, and start their own family almost immediately despite this and trying to process everything.)

• Obsession with the human framework, particularly a focus on bones/the notion that humans are marvelous architecture (something that began to be seen early on in the Neath, and likely rooted from Surface experience, that has slowly developed over time, coming to a full realization upon going through Godfall and seeing the Shapeling Arts in full action)

• Change is good, change should be sought, change (particularly a high amount of change) is growth and beauty (this is something that developed during their service, and came into full consideration in the Neath (not that it didn't affect their actions on the Surface, however it factors more when you can literally change your own body parts) [note; Eckil views 'change' and 'developments' as two mostly seperate concepts. Developments are nuanced and can be bad.]

• Death is beautiful (came to light in the Neath after some conversations with the boatman and self-reflection)

• Art can change and be made into new art (this came somewhere inbetween 'death is beautiful' and 'humans are architecture', can't say exactly when)

• Not a viewpoint but a trait that they have yet to acknowledge that skews their mentality around this; Eckil experiences some meshing between themself and inhuman figures (the most prominent example being the Vake during BaL) and therefore has far less qualms around inhumanity. It's due to a few things but important to note as something that happens to them, especially when mental fuckery gets involved.

Actions

Some actions Eckil often takes that could be considered fae-like (or at least something most usual people aren't likely to be doing). Of course, this is mostly of my own analysis and I will have my biases around what is and isn't fae-like; if anyone has a behavior of theirs that I haven't mentioned that they feel could be noteworthy, feel free to say so.

• The whole bonestealing thing. That in general is something a little odd and was part of why I originally began to debate this.

• Connected to this, why they steal bones in the first place (they see it in itself as a art, that can make more art).

• Deliberate use of uncanniness, primarily for hunting or intimidation

• Remarkably casual about things most would consider unnerving or morally wrong (not entirely indicative of being fae-like and not just fucked up, but still) [note: there is some limits to this too.]

• Gets very...antsy about being expected to do something in line with society, regardless on if they would want to on a personal level

• Often simply appears at gatherings, despite being a terrible socializer and disliking encountering new people (admittedly very ????)

• Can be attracted via odd means (often by offering bone or speaking of hunting and murder)

• Despite usual bluntness, becomes very indirect about deals and vows, allowing for easy manipulation of interpretation

And with all that covered...

#the singing bonesnatcher #fl ocs #It's very wishy-washy #as this all could just point to Eckil being a fucked-up person #but still #character analysis/study

𝙄𝙉𝙏𝙍𝙊𝘿𝙐𝘾𝙄𝙉𝙂 ... 𝖡𝖠𝖤 𝖸𝖴𝖭𝖧𝖤𝖤 ( 𝖳𝖧𝖤 𝖡𝖫𝖠𝖢𝖪 𝖱𝖮𝖮𝖪, 2019 )

wait till you hear about this next nominee: BAE YUNHEE, born on the 10th of JULY, 1997 and bears a striking resemblance to KIM YERIM. they’re a FIRST year BACHELOR OF MEDIA & COMMUNICATION STUDIES student and HER INFLUENCE AS A SCION OF THE HEO FAMILY AS WELL AS HER PROMINENCE IN VOLUNTEERING AND SOCIAL ACTIVISM — impressed yet? rumor has it they’re hoping to be the HEAD OF PUBLIC RELATIONS OF THE GRAND ELYSIAN GROUP, but personally, i think they should aim a little higher — something like the king’s club, for one. now, that suits them a little more, don’t you think? guess we’ll just have to see if they’ve got the talent for it in our upcoming recruitment round.

happy belated opening day! so sorry to everyone who's been waiting for me to reply messages, but i wanted to make sure i put out the intro first so we could go straight ahead with plotting once i put up enough information! not to mention i still have to work on my pages for yunhee. anyway i'm fae ( 22+ years old, she/her and gm+8 ) and here's my little black rook, who used to be the sweetest angel now turned into the cruelest demon. warning : this is a really long read ahead because i somehow can't help myself. anyway just drop a like and i'll be running into your dms to start plotting! ( either tumblr ims or discord at your request )

SUMMARY

HERE'S HOW HISTORY BEGINSㅤ:ㅤ although it is true that the heo family's nouveau empire has only just risen to modernity, the family has already amassed a fortune ten times greater in a fraction of the time it took ancient dynasties — the whole legacy built by a self-made hotelier owning a chain of the most luxurious and opulent resorts and hotels around the nation under his own luxury hotel conglomerate, the grand elysian group.

but in spite of their rise of power in modernity, the heo family was still a family that followed the archaic hierarchy. in other words, its old age misogyny : where sons are to be raised as future leaders, whilst daughters are more likely to be trained as potential brides so they could be traded off for business merges and contracts. and being the youngest daughter of the youngest daughter, bae yunhee was quite frankly doomed from the beginning.

being the youngest of four children and the only daughter, yunhee had already been deemed useless in the eyes of her mother from the moment she'd drawn her breath in the world. her mother had only ever wanted and needed sons so they could be raised, trained to fight for her honor in the never-ending civil war for the throne of the grand elysian group. daughters were thought to be too weak for her goals, so her mother didn't hesitate to pawn yunhee off in the care of the nannies.

bae yunhee was undoubtedly the black sheep of the family, growing resentful of the family's obvious favoritism towards her brothers whilst she'd been left in the dust. for the longest time, she desperately yearned for even the slightest silver of attention and affection from her family while also longing for their acknowledgement for her achievements. but no matter how hard she tried, it was just never enough. and yunhee wondered if she was cursed to live in the shadows.

AND THEN CAME HIM.ㅤnoh hyungseo, the golden boy and the gilded heir. yunhee herself can’t begin to tell the tale of how she managed to catch his attention and his heart, for all she knew was that he wanted her and he wouldn't stop chasing her until he had her. not like she could deny him in the first place. after all, noh hyungseo was every girl’s fantasy of a charming prince.

safe to say that noh hyungseo had invested everything into molding yunhee into becoming his ideal woman. he had given her everything she had ever asked for and more. her family had been more than ecstatic when yunhee of all people started dating hyungseo; so much that they actually began paying more attention to her than ever before — especially her own mother.

all of a sudden, she was given the opportunities she'd only ever seen given to her older brothers. finally becoming on par with the rest of her relatives when she started to gain media attention for her beauty and perfect mannerisms whilst joining the many philanthropic activities and attending many fundraising events. she's now the face of the family's philanthropy, the very paragon of virtue for the whole world to lay their eyes upon.

bae yunhee may be many things, but she's no fool. she knows that the reason her family is giving her the attention she'd long sought after was because they were betting on her relationship to foster businesses connections with hyungseo's family, hoping for a union between the forgettable daughter and the blue blooded real estate heir that would have their businesses entwined forever.

yunhee had always known the truth. she may have been more in love with the idea of noh hyungseo than the flesh and blood beneath the veneer of him. but even so, she would still claim it to be love. the world had made way for hyungseo, the way it did for emperors, kings and conquerors. is it really so bad that she wants to be the chosen queen to rule by his side once hyungseo have ascended to his rightful throne to his empire?

BUT HERE'S WHEN THINGS STARTS TO REALLY FALL APART.ㅤwhen she had only just adjusted to a new life at SNU, yunhee had suddenly been approached by a chessmaster and was given an exclusive invitation to join the king's club, which only left the girl stupified. there's no real use in having her around, especially when her second oldest brother was already an alumni of king's club a few years back. still, it was a coveted invitation that people would do absolutely anything for to have it. and yunhee would be foolish if she were to reject such golden opportunity.

for most part, she had only followed her boyfriend's lead during her days as an initiate even despite knowing too well that hyungseo was her competitor for the position. but yunhee never really cared for the club the same way that hyungseo did. frankly, the only reason she'd even joined the club in the first place was to make sure to reign hyungseo in and never allow his eyes wander to any other woman, especially cxd7. she wasn't about to let any women take a chance at her boyfriend, not when she had worked so hard to keep him to herself.

she should have reigned hyungseo in harder, kept his behavior in check. perhaps then the darling wouldn't have had to lose him to a stupid ritual and a stupid lake, all because hyungseo was simply too egotistical and overly confident.

bae yunhee was absolutely devastated by the loss of her boyfriend. even moreso, when hyungseo in death wouldn't be given the courtesy of justice. she was nearly hysterical when she'd been forced to kept her mouth shut and had to follow the script along with the rest of the members so they could hide the club's existence from the police and the public. her conditions only worsened during the funeral when she'd gotten in an argument with one of the chessmaster and was downrightly humiliated when the chessmaster cruelly exposed the reason for her invitation in the first place was because of her late boyfriend.

and this was the starting point of her resentment towards the king's club.

ALL EYES WERE ON HER.ㅤespecially when she gained so much media attention as the grieving girlfriend and beloved high school sweetheart of the late noh hyungseo. the world had pitied her for her loss and in turn, yunhee saw a chance. yunhee found weaponry in the attention surrounding her and didn't waste any time to utilize it to the best of her abilities. which is why after graduating from SNU, yunhee had established a charity foundation in the name and honor of her late boyfriend which only skyrocketed her likeability towards the public to the point she had been hailed as their beloved darling.

life had become beautifully effortless for bae yunhee, especially when she began working in the family's business in the public relations department before her promotion as the grand elysian group’s head of public relations .

but even with her bright future ahead of her, yunhee had never forgotten her hatred and resentment towards the king's club, wanting to do nothing more but to burn it down to a crisp. especially knowing that she only became an official member of the club because her late boyfriend was dead.

she blames everyone in the club for his death, even herself. because in her eyes, she's no better than rest of them. especially when his shadow haunts her still, looming across every facet and reflection of the lives and future they could have built together.

PERSONALITY.

they say the loveliest angels makes the cruelest demons. and perhaps they were right. 𝖺𝖿𝗍𝖾𝗋 𝖺𝗅𝗅, 𝖻𝖺𝖾 𝗒𝗎𝗇𝗁𝖾𝖾 was the living example of such statement. once upon a time, she'd been the sweetest girl to have ever lived — with her delicate and gentle disposition, along with a heart of gold that she wears upon her sleeves to match. emphatic and kind to a fault, yunhee had been once the type to never hesitate to lend a hand to others. she admittedly sees the world in a rose-colored view, often finding beauty in everywhere she could. but that doesn't mean she's a stranger to the rather more noxious side of emotions, especially envy and jealousy as she'd grown to be extremely resentful of her family's favoritism. and due to her longing for attention as well as her desperation for validation, yunhee had been very malleable to influences if it meant any way that she could be loved and desired. but after the incident and herself suffering both a broken heart and a broken pride, yunhee began to change herself for the worst. she became more guarded, more distrustful of the world around her, and absolutely resentful than she ever was before. she was now a mosaic of once beautiful broken pieces, a collection of everyone's worst nightmare. mercurial and manipulative, she makes it a point to everyone and anyone to never ever underestimate her again.

WANTED CONNECTIONS.

I very much prefer brainstorming but i do have a lot of ideas we could expand on, such as : the chessmaster senior who she had an argument at hyungseo's funeral and is now considered enemy number one because they humiliated her during the worst times of her life, a very small group of friends who she sincerely trusts, people who genuinely mourns over hyungseo, potential allies during their initiation days ( people who just didn't want hyunseo to become an official member so she's the next best thing ha, ), enemies/frenemies, a long list of men that she constantly flirts with in front of hyungseo just to spite him and invoke jealousy out of him ( even better if they were friends with hyungseo or hated hyungseo, because ya girl is messsssyyyy ), people who suspects her for being the informant ( because lets be honest, she doesn't hide her vitriol and resentment towards the king's club at all after what happened )

#cm:intro #[♡] —— 𝖠 𝖱𝖤𝖰𝖴𝖨𝖬𝖤 𝖮𝖥 𝖧𝖤𝖠𝖱𝖳. 𝙊𝙊𝘾.#this is so long #i'm so sorry to everyone who's reading this

╰┈➤ ❝ the royal palace treasures greatly its vast collection of novels, poetry and chronicles. for what would be the passing of a thousand years without good stories to tell? among these halls, you may find tales of love; as well as family and friendship. you shall find the thoughts and feelings of the poets; left here from a different time, leaving the young prince to guess at their meaning. throughout the great wave of time that seems to erode all in its wake, the fae have stood strong, led by those descended from dragons. and although even their ancestors are long gone, their stories remain to guide the new rulers on their path. ❞
