fleur's eleventh tumblrversary thank you post

hello, friends! i can't believe it's been eleven years since i decided to de-lurk and jump in to fandom spaces. thank you to all of my friends and followers for being so welcoming and making my experience here so wonderful. i think we'll need our community more than ever as we embark on this new year together.

here's a round up for my blog pages, for any new folks or people who typically use mobile:

about / fic recs / tags / how to tumblr / & x-kit / PCOS

there’s 17 years’ worth of doctor/rose (mostly, but far from entirely, nine/rose) fic recs in those pages, between teaspoon and here and AO3, and ten years’ worth of extensive tumblr tagging, so go nuts! ;)

speaking of fic, there are two things in my tumblr experience of which i am the most proud: collaborating on two amazing stories with @chiaroscuroverse, and coining the term "smupdate" way back in 2015. :')

---------------

a round up of some of my most used tags:

about fleur / fleur replies / fleur does the meme / fleur has an OP tag / christopher eccleston / nine/rose / simm spiral / film recs / i want this dress / pink

---------------

since i haven't been as active on tumblr as i used to be, here's how i'm also filling my time: knitting, reading romance novels, and looking for progressive politics + progressive christianity people and spaces. if we know each other and you want to find me elsewhere and nerd out with me about any of those things, send me an ask or an IM and let me know!

---------------

and, it's officially the weekend, so let's do a sleepover weekend thing to celebrate:

tell me about your favorite blogs and i’ll @ them

rec me something: fic, books, movies, tv, music, etc.

send me a pun or a nerdy fact

tell me about your cat, if you have one

tell me what you're crafting/cooking/making

send someone a sweet anon ask (i won’t know if you do this, of course, but you’re welcome to tell me that you did!  i love knowing when people are sharing the love.)

my askbox is open

---------------

also, i'm hosting this super informal mini movie marathon on monday, january 20. click for details and how to join!

[notyouraryang0dd3ss]

lil bro's okay, but grandfather's not so good. it's still stable, but they're talking about travelling down west it's cooler, but it's gonna be costly oof. lil bro has scool in like 4 days, and it's likely they'll put out a circular to postpone school openings.

anyways have i mentioned i hate taylor swift? because i do so badly. one of my mutuals reblogged a "fav song" post with a taylor swift song and i got a papercut, she's bad luck see proved.

gooooooddd im so sick of all these edits with her lyrics. fandoms are polluted with her word and all these super cool gifs so talented and then i see her words "who else decode you" and i feel like throwing my laptop im so so so so sick of her and her brand of sickening white conservative "feminism".

i'm thankful she doesn't come to india i don't think i can handle the cooties. the other desi anon saying upper middle class girls liked her? totally true. i moved schools to like a richer more renowned one and i started hearing about her way more than i ever needed to.

anyways if you ever need recs to hindi songs, do let me know! i promise you every single lyric arjit singh has ever sung has contained more romanticism, more poetry that the entirety of her 30 albums and 900 copy paste songs, and that's after you translate it in english using google translate (bad translator for hindi).

I’m so sorry to hear that about your grandfather. I hope your family will find a way to travel west without it hurting financially. Also, your brother has school? In the U.S. this is around the time the school year ends. Is this the beginning of the school year or is this resuming school?

Right! Fandom is totally ruined because of Swifties. The only music they use in edits are hers and completely bulldoze any conversation when it comes to Taylor Swift, saying their faves would be swifties, no matter how OOC it is for the character. Like the “Hobie Brown is secretly a swiftie” post. HE WOULD NOT BE A SWIFTIE! Hobie is a fucking radical punk! He is the ANTITHESIS OF A SWIFTIE!

(Also-I was so confused by the “I got a papercut see bad luck proved,” because I genuinely thought that was a song title of hers. Her songwriting is just that bad.)

This is so damning, the correlation of wealth and Desi Swifties. This is what it’s like in the U.S. too but it’s crossed over with racial politics too. But generally richer = more likely to be a Swiftie. At least this is like anecdotal proof now rather than conjecture that I was accused of by other people.

Please send in the recs! I love expanding my music taste and from my limited exposure to Bollywood films, their soundtracks are always so fucking fire!

[timetravellingkitty]

random rant charlie if you're reading this it's just what we talked about in our dms I'm not taking unsolicited advice cause these are my feelings not opinions so shut up and let me use this blog as a diary or something

being half-caste is super fucking weird actually! on one hand there's the casteism but on the other hand you're perceived as uc at first glance (something something privilege cause my mom's uc + my dad and I are not open about our caste status I won't explain it) and like because it's my dad who's dalit ideally I'd take his family name right but instead we all have a surname that is well. NOT our family name! (you'll never guess why)

but also is it really THAT big of a privilege to have to lie about yourself just to be treated like a human being (don't get me wrong I do have class privilege you'll never guess why tho it starts with an r and ends with an n 🤯) and my dad has practically sanskritised himself (and by extension me, so, awful!) it's really funny when people think they can shit on reservations cause they think im a generic north indian savarna DUDE WHO'S WE I'M NOT ONE OF YOU but these guys are the same people who are weird as fuck and passive aggressive about this shit really I could go on but I'm too lazy

anyways I take payment in the form of music recs stream rina sawayama 😋

[thatonecode]

what car seat headrest songs would you recommend? :D

OH YOURE GONNA REGRET ASKING ME THIS !!!!! OHHHHH !!!!!!

im putting a read more link here because this got . exactly as long as i thought it would

okay well obviously to start with i'd recommend "Beach Life-In-Death" from the album "Twin Fantasy" (2018 version not 2011 . i like both versions but the 2018 is better production quality) . this is like . starter pack car seat headrest this song will change your entire fucking life . no dont go look at how long it is . its fine dont worry about it . this was the song that got me into csh its the song ive chosen to be my top song of the year ive listened to it 3 times everyday since the start of the year without missing any times . its a really fucking good song

actually ! that whole album is like . mindblowingly life changingly good and it literally ruined my entire life for . well i havent actually recovered ! months !!! twin fantasy is an album about falling in love with a fictionalized version of a person and watching the relationship crumble . its like . devastating i can't recommend it enough . if youre only going to listen to 3 songs off the album my person favs are "Beach Life-In-Death" (as mentioned), "Nervous Young Inhumans" and "Famous Prophets (Stars)" . also . throw "Sober to Death" in there as well just for fun as a bonus .

Teens of Denial is also a fantastic album i EXTREMELY recommend listening to "Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales" and "the Ballad of the Costa Concordia" . again . lives were changed . "Cosmic Hero", "1937 State Park" and "Fill in the Blank" also periodically live in my mind rent fucking free but yknow . i cant exactly recommend the entire album (EXCEPT I CAN !!! YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO THE WHOLE ALBUM !!!!!!)

moving away from album recs my personal favs recently have been "Crows - Rest In Bigger Pieces Mix" from the album "Nervous Young Man" . what if for just one night you turned into an animal yknow ??? its really good . and the other one is "The Ending of Dramamine" from the album "How to Leave Town" because ive been really Feeling the effects of my mental illness recently . "There Must Be More Than Blood" from "Making a Door Less Open" is also a very good song and SUPER easy to blorbo-ify if i do say so myself . "Over Exposed (Enjoy)" from "Monomania" is also . well . and somewhere down the line you'll look back/and say you did the best that you could and you'll be wrong/you're always wrong . so . theres that

confession i havent listened to their entire discography yet ive listened to twin fantasy, teens of denial, and MaDLO . i think monomania is next on my to listen to list .

some final general pointers if youre new to csh id recommend looking up the lyrics on your first listen through anything because will toledo hates enunciating like its personally wronged him . i recommend listening to twin fantasy alone in your room with all the lights off for peak effect (depression) . a general reminder csh is fucking Awful and i hate it and everytime i listen to it i go i cant believe i enjoy this and that its changed my life . this sounds awful . vast majority of csh songs are over 5 minutes and normally the REALLY good ones are 10+ minutes . you get used to it .

ALSO ! heres an incomplete google doc of my favourite lyics that im slowly updating as i come across them

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ASK !!! feel entirely free to send me either more asks with any thoughts on any songs or just dm me !!!! i love music so much i would deeply deeply love to talk about music any time :]

[earlysunshines]

IM BACK AFTER LISTENING TO YOUR MUSIC RECS !! Everything you recommend was 🤭👏❤️ not a song that I didn’t like. But I’m here to tell you my favs

Do 2 me - kaytandra

I really liked this one the beat is super good and catchy the chorus I think (~~you no what you do to me. I said no….) that part was my favorite I immediately added this song to my playlist

Beauty and essex

I’m already a huge fan of Daniel Cesar so anything with him I’m already hooked so this song was fire

Wake up call by Mel blue

The perfect feel good song while driving in the car after a long day

Daisy - w2e

I have a couple w2e songs in my playlist and I need to listen to them more because I’m missing out on sm this song was so good

Slow down - Mac ayers

UGHHH THIS WAS SOO GOOD. This song has been on repeat since last night when I listened to it for the first time

Come back to me - rm

Was boppin my head the entire time I was listening to this. Never listened to rm but it makes me wanna listen to more

Satin - destin

This reminded me of Chris brown. I really like his voice

ANDDD I also wanted to say what you said abt Kendrick was 1000% true. I went to his Mr morale concert a couple years ago and all the videos I took were kinda ruined because I was singing into my phone the entire time and ruining the video💀

Buttttt thank you sm for the songs your music taste is insane

- the anon who asked for the music recs

OH MY GOSH ILY??S?DL:KF: i love when ppl take time to listen to my recs music is soooo serious to me u don't get it like omfg you deserve love and luck for the rest of your life

do 2 me: first listen had me hooked esp the intro/first verse it just had a flow and vibe that caught my attention so quickly

beauty and essex: sooo chill adn the first time I heard it I FELLT it in my bones like i was mkaing faces listening to it bc of how wonderful it is to hear and esp daniel caesars voice the way it swings so nicely plus the BASS OMFG...

wake up call: it was accidentally added to my playlist but I was sooo into it after first listen its so like relaxing and lowk and I listen to this a lot esp at night and when I'm in the car but a passenger + one of my favorites I listened to it a lot when I was on vacation in asia

daisy: a classic imo like this song has been with me since release bc I found wte a few months after they debuted and ugasdghh this song makes me lovesick and aushdfbsdkj

slow down: big fan of slow rnb that relaxes u, same feeling I get listening to wake up call

come back to me: i lowk shit on bts a good amount (songs they've made as a group) and have only been really into v's music, but this opened my eyes to what rm is capable of and the feeling + emotions in the song are played out so well, conveyed in a way that makes me sit and ponder I loooove this song and the whole album. i esp like the last chorus when the vocals overlap I think it's really bittersweet and I love songs like that

satin: nooo bc i discovered destin bc it was added to a playlist somehow then dove deeper into his music and omfg this one is just sooooo head bopping like shiiiit I'll be making faces listening to this too. his voice is very unique and like ughhasfdhj so perf

OFC i love giving song recs really I am so passionate about music LOL but I can't write enough words that can fully explain that thank you for taking the time to listen!! you're so sweet

[beegyoshiking-ng]

MONTHLYY MUSIC RECCCCCCCCC (ParentalAdvisory:Boobs!!)

Hey all, YoshiKing here! :3 Im gonna recomend yall some kick ass beats ewe!!! This time its an album so lets get to it! Drumroll! Budda-dudda-budda-dudda... BAM

WHOOOOOOOOO!!! This FRESHH album is commin at'chya straight from the land of big bugz and Marsupials Australia!! In particular Melbourne! The Name? Drunk Mums. The Album Also Drunk Mums! And my oh my is this a good album. This one goes for a more contemporary punk feel. I'd call it Post modern Punk, along with some strong garage punk vibes to it also. The guitar has oddly chippy and airy harmonics for punk tracks (Thats why I call is contemporary more pliably to newbies of Punk! :3) Of course it still has strong and rad distoriton like most punk guitars just leans harder on some chippy vibes to it! Along with that it has some more traditional punk sounds to it, like Simple Chord Progression, Strong Bass, Powerful drums (Their drummer loves his Cybals and I LOVE ITTTT ^w^) and is sung in a Paruando sound! (Parurando: Japanese word for singing in a speaking style! :p) oh and did i mention i LOVE music theory 7w7

Some of my fave tracks areee:

Big Titty Trippin': The opening bass line is super catchy, the back and fourth background guitar going like DownDown UPUP DownDown UPUP. It's hard to describe with out sheet music its like an: F note then fallowed by a F,G#,C chord. It sounds diminished but this is just me playing round on my piano, i dont have prefect pitch. al least thats what the main chorse sounds like. the secondary main bridge ROCKS! I love love LOVE the drums keep a constant double time kick snare during it and the bass and guitar harmonizing, it's kicks ass. But thats enough nerding out on this track! 2 more To go! :]

Switchblade: Here Lots of some beach rock that they have in this album. Those airy harmonics i mentioned come full force here. mixded with the bass it makes for an awesome track. I LOVE THE SOLO AT THE END you can really here those chippy harmonics then! Plus in the chores when he's all like "CAUGHT ON A SWITCHBLADE!!" and instruments really add to how hard it goes particularly that bass in that part AHH. It sounds like the Tonic is a D in that part, all other harmonies seem to derive from the D in the back there with the bass part! over all AWESOME SONGG.

Hematemesis: This track is the most punk one they have on this album in my opinion. Its Uptempo and trate only shared by like 3 or 4 other tracks, (Outstayed Your Welcome, Chitty Chitty, Sewing Up My Mouth, And Comatosed!) The Guitar is not particularly crunchy and distorted, but it at least feels more substantial less airy, more PUNK. The drums go HARD lots of noise and i love it! and the singer dose an iconicity punk thing, Screaming, not that deep distorted hard heavy metal scream. an airy screechy scream a punk classic. plus you could EAT of that chord resolution at the end there!

Over all how would i rate the album named "Drunk Mums" a solid 8/10. In my opinion there only one eh track and its "The Business" a down tempo kinda washed out rock song. And i dont like it much. But every other song is very Good. But if you're under the age of like 14 i would not recommended it. It talks about sex in some tracks, tittys (Duh) and cum LOTS OF CUM. I love vugarity in my punk songs. But if you're young or grossed out by that. This is not the album for you...

BUT YEAH. This is my music rec. BYE BYE (And Please let me know if you found thing engaging and usefull :3)

[like-wuatafauq]

Wtf??? I'm sorry that your ex was so dismissive about your culture I can't imagine how hurtful that must've been 'cuz that's such an important part of who you are... and for her to judge your accent is super messed up :(

Your background is not something to be ashamed of or try to suppress for someone else's comfort

I'm bilingual too so I totally get the struggle of switching it back and forth 🥹

I actually feel like my Indonesian is getting a bit rusty these days since I use English so much more now. But I've been making more of an effort to practice it regularly so I think I'm starting to find a good balance again. I'm also trying to learn German atm and I only know a handful of words so far :)

Oh and I've actually been listening to a lot of Spanish songs and they're so good 😩

Idk what half the words mean but I be out here dancing along anyway so if you have any recs for artists or songs I should check out pls do share!!!

Also I made over 100+ online friends just last night. I think I might've overdone it a bit but it was so much fun! A lot of them are younger than me so I'm out here feeling like a proud internet mama

They're all my virtual children now >:)

And yesss I'm a proud high femme so if I ever go to a pride event I'd be rocking all the skirts and dresses. I love anything pink or frilly it just makes me feel like a pretty princess 🙂‍↕️

From ♡

Oh dude it was so bad I only cooked her mexican food once...and that's a whole other story but I ended up not cooking mexican food for her....ever...ever again..im not exaggerating (not including burritos or tacos but even on those I didn't use my mexican recipes) it was bad... and I was like oh god! They never showed this side of them before!! I can't be with them wtf!!! And like obviously that was on top of how mean they were towards me so like it was just bad fr. however she's beside the point now, it's just ik for a fact when I open up to someone again I'm gonna have to explain how bad it really was and oooof. But hey as long as it gets me to be open to the right person! someone who deserves aaaaalllll of my love <3 so I can put her in the past, once someone is able to understand why I would react certain ways and my fears they'll know i dont actually think about her, just trauma awareness :)

Also knowing Indonesian sounds super cool! Even if you are a bit rusty that's okay! German is also pretty cool I hope you pick it up quickly 😎I believe in you!

As for spanish music.... guys.... do not ask me this... that's literally 90% of what I listen to in the car or when I'm cooking lmaooo

I'm so happy you made so many queer friends how did you do it so quickly tho?????? Sure online but how???? Lmaoo

I looooooovvveeeeee high femmesssss I don't care if it's goth, dark,pastel,pinky,cottage core,cowgirl, witchy core aesthetic or latina & other culture high femme. As long as it's femme like it just aghhhhhhjjj (of course I don't expect someone to be that way all the time) but mainly that being their look just always gets me ,you girlies are amazing. I could never do what yall do.

[chimerabytes]

anyway anyone wanna help me out and rec me new bands / other musicians to listen to? show me ppl and/or groups that you think deserve more recognition.

personally i could rec a lot but im going to just throw a couple songs over here:

- fairy song & calling youuuu by Maple are both really, really good, and very fun beats! I can see the very strong speedcore and general early 2000s and nightcore vibes.

- JIGSAW by CALYPSO is really cool but also, like, i wouldnt rec listening to their music if youre squeamish. Their music is definitely influenced by horror. however, worth noting is that of their albums the albums i can find, two of them (Major Motion Monster and Creature) utilize "content warning" lists for the intro tracks on both cds.

- vylet pony is an awesome musician! seas music is so, so good, and you dont need to be into MLP to get in on the sweet vibes. although a lot of, if not her entire discography, is MLP inspired, theres many tracks which are vague enough to not have an inherent association as fansongs based on the media.

Examples that I like to note are the album Carousel, but particularly the song Constellation Cradle, and For The Love Of Music from Can Opener's Notebook: Fish Whisperer. I also rec checking out the albums of music its made based on its own fanworks! Super Pony World: Fairytales and Mystic Acoustics are beautiful albums.

... I really love Vylet Pony's music.

- I feel like The Birthday Massacre doesn't get enough love. Theyre a great band, if you're curious about the dark wave and/or new wave genres, try TBM out! My favorite albums are Nothing and Nowhere, and Pins and Needles.

[wip-okae]

Okay so! I went and listened to all the songs because I’m a whore for new music, especially good ones. I’m actually the anon who asked ㅠㅠ This is a personal side blog of mine, and when I was sending in the ask I couldn’t swap to this account so I was like “fuck okay anon it is”, I hope that’s okay! My main is for writing/ fandom only, and I don’t want a bunch of random internet people from over there following me here lol, sorry about that.

Anyway the point of all this yapping before I get into my actual thoughts about the songs is a roundabout way of saying, we’re mutuals! Yay! At least to me we are, bc I’m following you back (idk if it picks up on your side cuz likes and follows are coming from my main, but whatever 🤡). I info-dump this because you’ve been around for like, forever? And I’ve somehow still never interacted with you? Which feels like a crime 🤡 So I’m reaching out now bc I really like your blog and wanna be proper moots 🥹🫶🏻

✨ anyway! ✨

MUSIC. 👏 SONGS. 👏 THOUGHTS. 👏

Dust Flesh and Bones

I don’t listen to a ton of super long music because I do tend to get bored, but this song drew me in so entirely it was hard to move on from it.

As a Writer™️, this song brings words and images to brain that make it incredibly difficult not to want to sit down and write something to it 😭

Describing the song as an “apocalyptic sadness” truly takes the words out of my mouth—the music video, the album art, the dusty-sounding guitar, in what I can only imagine is a minor chord(?)… It makes me think of a movie opening: something western, probably, with a man laying in a creaky, uncomfortable block-of-a-bed with his cowboy hat covering his eyes, an overhead-camera circling around like a barely-working ceiling. You can just see the dust motes in the air, smell the alcohol on his breath… it’s grimy as shit, and I love it.

That’s the vibe of this song. To me, anyway. I love it. Perfect opener to a whole list of banger songs. Also, I like the idea of reading the title as “dust-flesh”, as in flesh that is dust-like in quality (because there’s no comma, to me it feels like it’s supposed to be one concept, which I think fits the overall vibe of the song as well).

Love Love Love

As someone who does things for love (love, love), this song is beyond perfect. I will take the time now to compliment how on-the-nail your recs are, by the way, because wtf? How are these songs all so perfectly attuned to the ask 😭 That is an insane archive to have and I commend you for it 🫡

I really like that this another guitar-heavy song. It feels personal because there’s just The Mountain Goats’ voice, the strumming of the guitar, and later into the song, those weird twinkling noises idk how to describe (forgive 💔).

This is a ‘sprawled out on your bed, staring at the ceiling at 3:34 a.m’ kinda music, and I that.

The Mechanic

This is the kind of music that changes you, so I completely understand how this made you reconsider your relationship (I hope things went well in that regard, by the way!). I love singer-songwriter (if that isn’t the genre pls smack me on the head) exactly for this kind of sound, this kind of music.

It’s so incredibly personal, especially to the artists themselves, but it still reaches deep for other people. This song is straight poetry, dude.

It’s conversation in the form of poetry, with its own little accompaniment. And that is precious in a way I find hard to put into words 🥹

The music video for this is just as precious as the song itself, btw, give it a watch if you haven’t already.

Because im bad at words when i most need them, im going to drop my favorite lines down below and you can interpret why they’re my favorite by yourself lmfao.

Basically the whole first verse. (Everything before the line below)

“Like a dog that keeps whining but you love how it sounds so you let it go hungry to hear it”

“Your shirts are all stained with the blood dripping out / and the problem gets harder to hide”

“I know you weren’t broken / I just needed something to fix”

“Like a house that’s on fire but you love how it feels so you throw in the memories to feed it”

The Goodbye Song

I LOVE MUSICALS. I KILL FOR MUSICALS. I AM MUSICALS.

*cough cough* anyway~

The live recording of this is going to be my explanation for why I love musicals and musical theatre adjacent music—do you see the fucking emotion in this man’s face. DO YOU SEE THE TEARS IN HIS FUCKING EYES.

Also, the description says George Salazar worked on tick, tick… BOOM!, which quite literally changed my life (I’m not even speaking hyperbole, I hyper fixated on that fucking movie and soundtrack so hard it was all I watched/listened to for several weeks), so thank you for indirectly bringing this to my attention.

I love his voice, I love the instrumental, I love the emotion. The lyrics are fucking amazing, they hit you right in the gut, which I’m sure was their intended purpose dksnjfisin.

I don’t know if there’s any kind of lOrE behind the lyrics, but it’s giving ‘parental figure/ guardian speaking to their child as they’re ascending to heaven/ whatever form of heaven you believe in, if any’, which, uhm ouch?? My heart? Hello? /pos

The whole latter half of this song feels like a hand ripping into your chest to personally tug on your heartstrings, which is a phenomenal feeling.

In short, thank you so much for your recommendations ㅠㅠ I actually really enjoyed listening to everything and thinking about how much I love them lmsnfisjs

I hope this is also a semi-normal(?) way of trying to befriend you lmfao if it’s not that’s my bad, I tried my best </3

Much love,

<3

hiya! you have any somber, kind of melancholic song recs? hope you’re having a good timezone <3

AAAH- DON'T I HAVE SOME! I really love melancholic songs and how they take me to other worlds.

First of all: Matt Elliott. Man, I can ramble about this man for hours. His music inspires me so much. I personally love his songs about failed relationships and fading dreams more but this album has an apocalyptic sadness that makes me shiver. If you don't get easily bored from long songs, try giving him a try.

Let's continue with a the Mountain Goats' song. One of his most popular song 'Love Love Love' is definitely worth listening to if you haven't yet. It makes you sigh deeply with every note.

HAVE I MADE A POST ABOUT THIS MAN BEFORE?? Because Amigo is one of my idols, man... His voice feels so familiar, touches my soul like a long lost brother. His first album hooked me immediately but his latest was definitely the best one. This song actually made me reconsider my relationship with a loved one:

Last one I promise- the theater kid in me is a really big fan of George Salazar and his album with Joe Iconis. The Goodbye Song is one of the best songs in the album with how expressive George is with all the lyrics. Give it a listen, I cried like twenty times to this song

Sorry if I rambled too much, I hope you find something you like here! Have a nice day- A NICE WEEK- A NICE FUCKING YEAR <3

recs game!

Tagged by @blossom-hwa, thank u lina!!!!

recommend 5 or more of your own works that you would rec to someone asking what they should read first & explain a little bit about the work. these can be the most popular, the ones you think are underrated, or your own favorites! then tag five other writers!

santiago ― this fic, unlike the other four that I will also recommend, is very light and silly! I think if you had to pick up one of my fics for the first time and are not a fan of horror or supernatural, this is the fic for you. im also extremely proud of the concept! san works as a waiter at a mexican restaurant and everyone that goes there thinks he’s hot stuff (younger crowds think he’s Hot and older crowds think he’s the sweetest and kindest gentleman). he is called santiago by a sweet older woman that he’s besties with. san is the reason why this restaurant is booming, people just adore him. but when a rival mexican restaurant opens and takes customers from san’s restaurant, san has to reel in the help of dancer friends (wooyungi) to win a dance off against dancers from the other restaurant that hired them (fun fact, those dancers are stray kids members!!!) to get their customers back. I remember writing this fic and feeling so joyful and the words came so easily. I wish people loved it more!

piracy and pyromania ― this was my first ateez fic... ever! this fic is special to me not only because it was my first, but because I wrote it after a really long writing drought and also I wrote it during an extremely difficult time in my life and I found some solstice in writing this fic, because finally, something im doing is enjoyable and maybe life is worth living. just a bit. anyway, this is an ot8 fic where all of them are pirates with supernatural abilities and they’re all very ruthless and evil. they do shit like set other ships on fire or raid towns and kill people. not for the faint of heart! this fic was inspired by pirate king, and I remember it playing in my shower playlist while I was taking a shower and the entire plot came to me and I feverishly wrote the entire thing in one sitting. it was extremely cathartic.

stradivarius in flames ― the first fic starring hongjoong that I wrote! this fic came about on a whim because I saw a Tumblr post about music teachers and them sacrificing old instruments to a bonfire (or something. I linked it on the actual fic) and I thought that was insane so this fic was born. hongjoong is a demon hunter except he specializes in music demons, which are demons that use musical instruments as hosts to cause problems. one is being hosted inside a stradivarius violin so hongjoong crashes an orchestra concert where it’s being played... and I won't say any more because that will spoil it! this is another fic where the words came super easily and I wrote the entire thing in one day. I think it’s a really unique concept (though, I think a lot of my concepts are super unique and creative)!

corpsehands ― probably the fan favorite. ironically, I hated this fic when I wrote it. I thought the concept made no sense and it was a boring fic, and instead I was bombarded by all of these people that adored it! I was really pleased! in this fic, wooyoung is a bartender during prohibition (so, alcohol is illegal and this is a speakeasy) with a supernatural gift. I cant explain a lot of the plot because it revolves around his supernatural talent, but I think the plot and themes in this fic are extremely compelling and interesting!

card bender ― out of these five, this is the only jongho fic! Im putting this one on this list because it’s a personal favorite of mine. I just think jongho is so so so so so so hot in this one and there’s a sentence in this one that might be my favorite sentence ive ever written. in this fic, jongho is a poker player and he’s extremely good at it. poker is somewhat of a luck game, but jongho always wins, implying he’s a little supernatural or he’s cheating somehow. he’s drunk, cocky, and extremely good looking. what’s not to love?

Hey everyone! I am Belle and as a heads up this is a queued post bc I live on like the opposite timezone of basically anyone in the US so this site is opening before dawn on fri for me and I have work. I'll try and hop on fri night, otherwise I'll get back to everyone on my sat! Anyway, I'm excited for this rp to open, I love surreal and horror. 🔥 My hobbies include writing gremlin bois and oscillating wildly between regular capitalization and lapslock. Also ToF/genshin (hmu if u play tho). This is Noh Harang, resident gremlin, morally ambiguous and in the trade of plots that verge on the wrong side of functional. Here is his about and profile page which has the more relevant of information, but I’ll drop some additional quick facts under the cut along with some attempted plot ideas! If you want to plot just like or dm + I have a discord on request if it’s easier to plot there (i usually prefer it A Lot, so if you want me to add you just drop your user in my ims and when i get online later i can add 6v6 ). 

if you want the full gist of why he is the way he is i’d rec reading his bio + checking his profile page, bc this is like: scenario, i'm trying my best, but my best is never good enough 😔 if not, ig you'll have to go by this image:

was born in ulsan, his dad died when he was pretty young and was largely raised by his mom w help from other family members. he is  ✨inspired ✨ by sharp objects (bc i Love it), only less murder-y, but his mom has FDIS (munchausen by proxy) and it influenced his emotional development a lot. 

moved to the island as a teen when his mom remarried, which meant there were new and exciting doctors to visit who weren’t suspicious of her yet. cowabunga, dude. spent a lot of time in his room drawing when he was ~sick~

he’s decently smart, and he did go onto uni for art, but then he got pissed at someone else and sabotaged their assignment by breaking into somewhere he shouldn’t have been and prob broke like 4 school rules in the process and was kicked out his second year. so he never finished. good life choices? check. clearly.

he is vindictive and revenge-driven and will act immediately on those feelings without considering the consequences on getting caught. harang in the moment is always like: i will definitely not get caught. and the narrator is like: that bitch did, in fact, get caught.

is he a good person? no. does he try to better himself every day? also no. memes aside, he does have good qualities but he’s def not sugar and spice and everything nice. if you enjoy complicated, emotionally wrought, and sometimes dark plots 👀 👀 👀 pls come to me, that is what i’m weak and design my chars for.

he’s a webtoon creator/artist. he’s into horror, esp supernatural/paranormal horror. his webtoon is similar in storyline/vibe to something like stagtown? but his art style is different. he takes inspo from junji ito of course. likes consuming horror media/projects as well.

obsessed with herbal tea, has So Many flavors in his apt. 

really into vinyl, though he usually collects based on cover artwork first and music second. likes playing atmospheric music when he’s making art.

he smokes, his favorite is cherry tobacco. they’re bad for his body but he’s pretty sure his body was basically destroyed in his youth so what does it matter anymore anyway?

he has a weird vibe but he’s good at covering it. will default to auto-mirroring people’s gestures and personalities around him without super realizing he’s doing it. if you spend enough time around him though it fades, it’s mostly done for people he doesn’t interact w regularly. 

he has long hair, and yes, that is a personality trait

he’s not always the nicest person but he’s also not mean for the sake of being mean. it can take him a while to emotionally connect to people. he doesn’t frequently get into romantic relationship because of it, def finds casual to be easier. his sense of love and how it should be expressed is ✨very off ✨

can turn himself into a victim in 4 minutes flat (i_got_it_from_my_mama.mp3)

he hates doctors, not in a take it personally sense, more just going to the doctors and being treated sense. will avoid going to the hospital At All Costs. 

can be manipulative, and isn’t always the most empathetic person (in this house we support morally grey chars 👏 )

plot ideas -- tbh i often prefer to like talk apps and come up with something organically, but here are a few ~general ideas~ that might be nice to have, and a few that could be starting off points if we’re really stuck.

an ex that was messily resolved and there's some baggage there is always fun. would love if it imploded due to reasons on both their ends rather than like one person being the Saint and the other being a Villain. I want mutually assured destruction and angst tyvm.

conversationalists. they live in the same area and keep running into each other, harang takes frequent smoke breaks outside for instance. but the strange part of it is there’s no real set schedule, and they just keep running into each other even though they're leaving at drastically different times every day. could be fun if they know some deeper pieces of each other’s life without knowing the like basics of each others personalities (like an inverse of basic friends, unbasic not-friends, if you will)

a bff? like we really click together and even though you make bad life choices and are lvl 500 dumb sometimes i’ll still help you with whatever mess you invite upon yourself. can go both ways, of course.

me, sweating and running out of plot ideas i’m brainstorming on the spot, someone who’s into harang’s webtoon. ofc it would need to be ✨developed ✨ so it could be interesting, but yes. OR his anti!!! OR a mix and they're obsessively into it to the point of being creepy. a creepy stan stalking a creepy artist, creep² if you will

i Am a fan of antagonistic plots, i think they’re really fun, esp when both chars are kind of catty about it and it’s not just one being the ~evil~ one, tho i don’t have any ideas on how to get there but if someone really wants one and to figure out a reason why i’m down!!!!

okay i think that’s it i’m out of ideas, but i’m v excited to plot and write so pls don’t hesitate to let me know if you like something or have another idea or wanna create something organically 👀
