thanks for tagging me in this bl tag game @praninlove 🥺️💞

1. your all time favorite bl and why

i told sunset about you. idk what to say that hasn't already been said by quan 😆

it's just.. incredible in every single way. so, so much love and care poured into every aspect of this show. how everything came together perfectly from writing, acting, directing, music, editing, etc., you can just tell everybody put a piece of their heart and soul into this to create something so magical and lasting ✨✨✨✨✨

2. that one bl that scarred you for life

yeah........ definitely ipytm 😣 @mmesutozill and i still talk about it till this day. expectations were high going in but there's just soooo much wasted potential and unexplored storylines that would have made so much more sense than what they eventually went with

3. is there any bl that made you feel very single?

probably deanpharm in uwma and patpran in bb. domestic fluff done well always makes me feel extremely single 😭😭😭

4. if you could change one thing from a bl, which one would it be?

so many ways i would rewrite ipytm but the main thing i would do is make ipytm oh-aew focused and also spend longer exploring his switch from acting to marketing.. it's such a key part of his identity and i feel like it was wrapped up so quickly within an ep. oh, also that modc ending ofc!! 💀

6. your top five:

- itsay 11/10 - cherry magic 10/10 - light on me 9.5/10 - kieta hatsukoi 9.5/10 - gsp 9/10

(thai bls rarely do it for me but the way not me is going, it's very likely to crack my top 5 🤪)

7. that trashy bl that you lowkey like

probably why r u lol (even tho i skipped the angsty breakup ep sry not sry) it was a mess but it was OUR mess 😌

8. your favorite korean bl (it’s important we know)

light on me ✨ the serotonin boost that show (and shinwoo) gave me every single week 🥺 (yooseok's gonna be in an upcoming netflix series called black knight with kim woobin and e-som so i'm excited!!!)

9. but also your top 3 for kbls

1. light on me 2. where your eyes linger 3. to my star

10. season 2? which one?

gsp :(((((((

11. a bunch of dramas will air soon. which ones are you the most excited for?

never let me go - p'jojo's first bl!! the mock trailer was my fave out of all the ones they showed at gmmtv22, and i'm excited to see what pond phuwin can do when the material they're working with is better

kinnporsche - everything i’ve seen so far i loooooove and is right up my alley so expectations are sky high and i know apo and mile will deliver (but also kinda nervous bc of the HUGE cast idk how they’re gonna squeeze 1273294389 storylines into the show)

the eclipse - i wasn't a big fan of the trailer at first bc the directing just seemed a lil messy but after watching not me and 55:15, it makes me excited to see khaotung and first paired up as leads. and khaotung in a completely diff type of role from the sweet boy roles we're used to. i can't wait!! also they've been friends for quite awhile too so i think the chemistry's gonna be gooood 😍

and a couple of others - moonlight chicken, semantic error, to my star s2, cherry magic movie

12. tag them!

i haven't been on my dash as much so idk who's done it but tagging some of my thai drama moots @junghaesin @nanons @taeminie @pranpats @pran-pat @pranparakul @kaonoppakao @itoldsunset @sunsetandthemoon @liyazaki @atots4ever-nevergonnagiveyouup @dramaism @laowen @surii @starfire-s @mark-kit @ohaewpanwa @shinwoonoh @shinjaeha but pls don’t feel pressured if u don't wanna!! 😘

tag game; the interview

Tagged by: @lucas-wongs

Tagging: @pastelsicheng @kopikokun @stayinzencity  @urlocalnctstan @sunflowerhae 

n. 1 | Why did you chose your URL?

I kind of combined all the NCT members who got me really involved with NCT in the first place. So namely, the person who peeked my interest in NCT was Taeyong after my friend showed me his solo stuff and black-on-black but my first ultimate bias was Mark and then my friend’s bias (who showed me Taeyong) was Lucas (and he later became one of my major biases) So it was mxr for Mark, ca for Lucas, and yong for Taeyong (so I pronounce it mark-ah-yong) And then I was debating changing it now that I’m basically biased for all 23 members (some to different extents to others but I’m always tied with like 7 people for ultimates) but then it just felt catchy and I didn’t think I could come up with a better name than that that isn’t taken already.

n. 2 | Any side blogs? If you have them, name them and why you have them?

Initially no. Technically this is my side blog. I had a private personal blog I used to treat as a journal but then after too long with my focus on NCT and way too many “I am following you, just in a personal blog”, I basically wiped it and turned it into a random blog where I repost content that excites me / stories I like to read / whatever I want thats less personal and depressing as it was before haha… It’s @mxrcayong-main. TBH the main reason was to build better relationships with my mutuals - like they never see if I read their posts or like their stuff because my personal blog was just strange and I didnt want people to really see it. 

n. 3 | How long have you been on Tumblr?

Honestly…very long. This blog hasn’t been too long though. This started as an NCT blog March 2020, but my first ever post was about Sehun in February 2020 (which was supposed to be a one off post haha). I once had a 5SOS blog, and then a Tom Holland one, and then now this haha. I have deleted the 5SOS one, unable to delete the Tom Holland one bc I lost access to it, and now I am on this :) I low key wanted to regain access to my Tom Holland one because I’m simping again but I lost details to the email I signed it up to.  

n. 4 | Do you have a queue tag?

I have a queue post? Does this count? 

n. 5 | Why did you start your blog in the first place?

Honestly, it was the first lockdown and I was bored. 

n. 6 | Why did you choose your icon / pfp?

For the Lucas one; I liked the aesthetic. My favorite kind of aesthetic is this vintage, faded, film kind of look. For me, I think one of the most profound and important things we have as humans are these vivid memories so any photo that kind of mimics this feel is super gorgeous to me. Also Lucas is stunning.

I used to have a Haechan matching aesthetic to the Lucas one, but I recently decided to turn it blue. I chose Mark because I’m the biggest simp for him (alongside with Jeno and Haechan mostly). This is purely because blue is one of my favorite colors; it always calms me down, and I just thought the aesthetic and composition of this photo really pleases me. Like, it also fits my vibe a bit more of the ‘softie’ and my friend even says I fit the ‘blue vibe’ more idk haha. I just come onto Tumblr for escapism and write for escapism, and blue helps calm me down so I wanted this escapism to be calming y’know haha 

n. 7 | Why did you chose your header?

I don’t have one!

n. 8 | What’s your post with the most notes?

My post with the most notes….honestly isn’t one im the happiest with but someone requested it so I tried to do it justice but idk I dont like writing fics too far in the future yk?? but the one with the second most notes that I really love is called “Come Home To Me” 

n. 9 | How many mutuals do you have?

I can probably count on one hand haha I want to get to know people, but I’m really scared to. I gotta say tho, I’m so grateful for all the mutuals I have - but especially @pastelsicheng and @kopikokun because they really stuck with me through some bad times I’ve had. also, tons of love for @sunflowersora for being my first supporter on this app and low key motivation to keep staying on the app <3 

n. 10 | How many followers do you have?

Just around 200, so not too much compared to others, but I still can’t believe that there’s 200 people who like my stuff. 

n. 11 | How many people do you follow?

A lot! 

n. 12 | Have you ever made a shit post?

…probably? 

n. 13 | How often do you use tumblr each day?

When I don’t have exams, I use it everyday. Just because I’m in a somewhat bad headspace right now, I check it maybe every second day or just have shorter use sessions. But when I have exams, maybe once a week or two weeks. 

n. 14 | Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? Who won?

Not really? 

n. 15 | How do you feel about “you need to compare this” posts?

I’ve never seen these posts but the title suggests that I’d dislike them. Especially with the words “you need to”. Like, let people live how they want to; don’t compare to others. 

n. 16 | Do you like tag games?

I really do! Honestly, I have to say I still don’t feel like I belong on the Tumblr community? Like I feel like I’m a newbie still finding their place. Theres a lot of times where I question that if I just leave, no one would be excited to see my posts anyway / no one will notice. So having tag games just kind of reminds me of the moots I’ve made who are a big part in making me feel like I have a place here <3 

n. 17 | Do you like ask games?

I haven’t done one yet!! I want to do it but I’m just nervous I won’t get any responses? 

n. 18 | Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

…All of them lol. I think @pastelsicheng is hella known for the murder replay story she did and I was a huge fan of a lot of them before they followed me back

n. 19 | Do you have a crush on a mutual?

Not a crush-crush but a platonic crush? Idk if its a common idea but basically like “holy shit I wanna get to know them” but i have social anxiety lol

Chasing Summer

Pairing: Beckett x F!MC (Elynne)

Excerpt: She felt like summer, her warmth enveloping him like an embrace, and Beckett just knew. He was going to be chasing summer every chance that he could get.

A/N: Idk, I just thought of them running in the rain together

It’s been a rainy couple of days at Penderghast.

Griffin says it’ll pass in a few days. Shreya’s been ecstatic to show off an entirely new wardrobe. Zeph is as cheery as always, the water-att in him actually enjoying the weather.

And Beckett? He’s completely unfazed, still staying until the wee hours of the night in the library as the rain poured outside. It was on one of these nights that he found Elynne leaving at the same time he was, a few books in hand.

“Do my eyes deceive me?” was the first thing that came out of his mouth. “Were you actually studying or did you fall asleep in the library again?”

It was still new to him — this whole friendship or whatever this is — so he hoped he didn’t sound too condescending.

“Ha ha,” Elynne laughed dryly. “I’ll have you know, I was actually doing some research.” She held up the books in her hand as evidence.

“Mhmm. And what is it exactly that you did research on?”

Elynne broke into a mischievous smirk.

“Love potions.”

Beckett flushed red as she winked at him, moving to adjust his satchel bag on his shoulder to avoid her gaze.

She gave him a playful nudge on the shoulder, laughing. “Relax, Harrington! I was kidding.” Tucking the books inside her backpack, she added, “It’s not like love potions exist in this world, right?”

Beckett tried hard not to sound nervous — why was he nervous?? — “Right. Of course they don’t.”

(They totally do.)

With a carefully planned goodbye in mind, he turned to her to say good night, but as per usual, she was one step ahead of him, pulling her jacket over her head.

“You didn’t bring an umbrella, did you?”

Impervious to his negativity (as always), she turned to him smiling. “Nope!”

After doing a once over to make sure that all of her belongings were secure, she nodded at him curtly, teasing almost. “Well, I’ll see you on the flip side, Beckett.”

With a mock salute, she was off into the rain, dashing through the night as the faint glow of the garden lights guided her way.

Beckett suddenly felt the urge to follow her… and without giving it much more thought, he did.

“Elynne! Wait!”

She turned around, squinting through the rain, as Beckett caught up to her and brought an umbrella over her head.

He didn’t quite expect the proximity they would have to be in to share an umbrella, especially not the way she’s looking at him right now — something between awe and not quite knowing what to do.

He probably had the same look on his face.

“Uhm… thank you!” she stammered. Then as if getting a hold of herself, she added, “but really, the dorms are only a few more steps away, you didn’t have to—”

But Beckett was still studying the way the light danced in her eyes, the soft glow of the garden against the night sky making her look almost… magical.

Then as if a timer had run out between them, they both dropped their gazes, shuffling their feet, each carrying a hint of a blush on their cheeks.

“Doesn’t seem fair that I’m the only one who’s wet right now,” she said without warning, taking Beckett’s umbrella from his hand (and her fingers brushing his), leaving him exposed to the evening rain.

It was only a little more than a drizzle now but his hands came up over his head nonetheless, his legs following Elynne as she frolicked around the gardens with his umbrella, holding it up like a trophy.

“Hey! Give it back!”

“Only if you catch me, Harrington!”

But he realized soon enough that he wasn’t chasing her for the umbrella anymore — no, that point was moot now that they were both soaking wet — but he wanted to keep her laughing like this a little longer, wanted to see that bright, uninhibited smile on her face for as long as he could.

Finally, she seemed to tire out — seriously, did she use to run track or something?? — and he had to hold on to something (that something being her waist) to keep himself from completely crashing into her.

She steadied him with her hands on his chest, the umbrella falling to the ground, her laughter fading as she calmed down. “Alright... you caught me.”

And he wondered in that moment how it was that he felt so… warm. Like he hadn’t been running in the rain for the last few minutes. Like it wasn’t still raining right now.

She smiled at him and that warmth only grew stronger, filling him, surrounding him, and he wondered —

Would it also feel like this if he kissed her?

He didn’t have to wonder long as Elynne (always one step ahead of him) pulled him in and pressed her lips softly to his.

She felt like summer, he realized, her warmth enveloping him like an embrace.

And Beckett just knew. He was going to be chasing summer every chance that he could get.

When he pulled away, they both had the dorkiest smiles on their faces, their foreheads pressed together.

He brushed her hair from her face and stroked her cheek gently. “If we get sick tomorrow because we ran through the rain—“

Elynne snorted and pulled him back down to meet her lips.

“Shh, don’t ruin the moment.”
