Recently on the discord I was asked if I'd ever write Larry, and I said no. So they asked me if it is because I didn't want to write rpf, but that really isnt a problem to me. I wouldn't want to write Larry bc I don't think that they have such... interesting dynamic, I dont see that much appeal in them, and I don't think that there is anything interesting going on between them (tho plenty of writers make them work).

But it just made me think about the rpf pairings I would be willing to write about, and I realized that I didnt see the appeal in plenty of popular pairings, such as:

(Heavily exo-based list as I'm an exo fan)

Kaisoo. I honestly dont think that they work together at all, I dont see it. They are too different and not in a complimentary way. I think it is just that Jongin adores Kyungsoo, and that's the only basis for this pairing. Imo, the reason why Kai adores him is bc he is so insecure, and so he latches onto Kyungsoo, needing this stable and mature hyung, but I don't think that Jongin sees Kyungsoo all that well from beyond that, he only sees Kyungsoo's calmness, but doesn't see other aspects of Kyungsoo's character (his playfulness, his drive that comes from his competitiveness) and I think that Kyungsoo feels that Jongin is placing too much weight on him, and kind of tries to diffuse that misplaced adoration. They honestly have this common for introvert+extrovert thing in which the extrovert views introvert's calmness as some kind of higher plane existence, and tries to make a guru out of a person who just likes some quiet.

Hunhan. Most older brother-younger brother dynamic ever. And not in a sexy way.

Chanbaek. First, I just find Baekhyun annoying, but second oh wow two beagles together, how is it sexy? Like these two are friends, regular schmegular friends with barely anything interesting going on for them (some friendships are interesting and have lots going on, but this is not the case)

Xiuhan. They're just cute (individually), they have no chemistry beyond that (except for the fact that they are mature, certainly more mature than they seem, but like, they are working, you can tell, it is two adults who were given an assignment to sell this pairing and they sell it, but like they're co-workers, who, hell, even respect each other bc they're surrounded by kids, but thats it for them irl), mb luhan is latching a but more, but I think that he is just friendly like that, he gets attached more easily.

So I think that in terms of popular ships, you get this idea that they are just manufactured, and they are shoved into fan base's throat, but in true they don't really work, these are not people who would be attracted to each other. I think that's the reason why so often they're just visual/most popular member+, like they are made in a lab, and it is a botched hurried job.

That being said there are some rpf pairings I like, and mb could write them sometime:

SuHan. But really, their relationship was captured so beautifully by curledupkitten in "Rust and Stardust" that I feel like there's nothing else to do here. They do have this slightly pedophilic angle to them, like you definitely get the sense that Junmyeon raised Sehun, and yet this only adds the guilt to the attraction, tensing everything.

SuChen. Kind person+kind person is undervalued sort of pairing imo. It is interesting and it is touching, and yet those two are different enough that its not like they're mirrors, or that there is no place for miscommunication or misunderstanding between them, its not like they would be able to read another, they both kind of can dismiss the care from another as like - well, he is kind, but irl u def get the sense that they look after each other, recognise the goodness in one another. Junmyeon who is responsible and anxious needs to have people in his care, and Jongdae is secure enough that he would allow this without guilt or shame, plus he is slightly reckless, so he does need someone to help him with the fine details in life. And Junmyeon definitely needs some laughter and fun in his life. Plus I think they're both deeper than they seem (a usual case with kind people), like Jongdae is that religious bc he looks out into the world, sees pain in it, and decided that he would then be very kind to everyone, it's not just the matter of his good-hearted nature, so I think that he'd be able to meet Junmyeon's angst.

Mino/Jinwoo from Winner. Honestly, they're IT for me in terms of rpf couples. They have imo most interesting dynamic ever. Like there is dangerous bad boy Mino who is so gentle with sensitive sensitive Jinwoo. And Jinwoo, who seemingly is so paralyzingly insecure has some bite to him, like he isn't above manipulation, and he knows exactly what his strength/weaknesses are and how to play them (like how he weaponizes his face card, how he stayed in YG for so long), so you get this sense that the reason why Jinwoo is so often protected by Mino, isnt just Mino extending his shield towards him, but rather that Jinwoo wants it that way, he wants Mino near him, he barely lets other Winner members protect him like that, immediately puts distance even tho, all his Winner mates are half in love with the beautiful hyung, and are all protective of him (less on Taehyun part, but that's bc they have the greatest age gap), Jinwoo isn't above playing this weaker character that needs protection. And also, how Mino, despite his persona, is such a goofy and kind person, but, let's be real, not that gullible at all not to see through Jinwoo's mask, but remaining willing to play along. And so they have this external almost heteronormative performance with them (Mino the tough protective man, Jinwoo the beautiful sensitive woman), but if u dig a bit deeper, then you sense how much Jinwoo is willing to put up a performance of him playing this feminine role all to calm Mino down - like hey, you're the man here, so its not gay right, I'm prettier than girls, don't you think it is natural then for you to think I'm pretty, and to protect me, and considering this manipulation, you realize that Jinwoo is less passive in this thing than you think, mb even less helpless, that in fact he might be more dangerous than Mino, but I think that this inverted power play might actually be arousing+interesting for Mino, bc Mino is all about power, and in true he might be interested not only in that performative play, but also is fascinated by the deeper, hidden power play he and Jinwoo play.

should storms, as may well happen, drive you to anchor a week in some old harbour-city ;

of Ionia, then speak with her witty scholars, men who have proved there cannot be such a place as Atlantis ;

learn their logic, but notice how its subtlety betrays their enormous simple grief ;

thus they shall teach you the ways to doubt that you may believe. — Atlantis by W H Auden.

suho as atlantis’ prince – the lost city.

he isn't exactly suho as a king but since he has water as his power, how to overlook that he could be the prince of the legendary city. merry christmas! 🎄🌹

Werewolf AU!Suho

A howl ripped through the air. The hair on the back of your neck stood up and your first instinct was to run. But that was a wolf’s howl, calling out to the moon. So, instead, you walked slowly towards the direction it came from, like an idiot. And you couldn’t even say that you lived a full life.  

Once again, a moodboard for the lovely @marshmallow-phd ! This time for part 5 of her “The Untamed”-series: “Charming Instruction”.
