[astrobei]

Hello Suni astrobei. For end of year asks, I ask you 2 and 12

hi abby strangeswift !! ok so i got a couple asks for 2 so i’m going to answer that one elsewhere so i can focus my full attention on Gushing !

12. talk about a new friend you made this year

ok i’m about to get seriously so sappy so if you don’t feel like reading through all this feel free to Leave (no hard feelings LOL)

i’m someone who has a pretty small social circle irl so i never thought i’d meet so many wonderful ppl this year, and definitely not online and definitely not because i started writing fanfiction again LOL like if u told january suni this she’d look at u like 👁👁 on a more serious note though this year was insane for me. so much changed really quickly in my life and i’m so beyond grateful that amidst all the chaos i was led to all of u guys ! literally if we’ve had even one conversation on here there’s a very high chance i’ve referred to u as a friend irl so. do with that what u will.

abby and ella (@elekinetic) and sierra (@finalgirlbyers) i want u guys to know that i treasure u all So Much. like even if our convos are sporadic or if we talk exclusively through asks ur presence on my dash brings me so much joy and i look forward to each post u make and each message and each ask and each incoherent ramble in the tags !! i don’t have Favorite Mutuals but if i did it would be u guys because it’s insane how much i light up seeing ur urls ! i hope 2023 brings so many more wonderful interactions w u guys, u rly make my mindless scrolling on tumblr 100x more fun

yvie @nnilkyway HELLO i am so so beyond grateful i met them this year ! what a strange stroke of luck too bc i was so obsessed w their art before we met and hearing him say he was a big fan of my work was like. mind boggling. anyways yvie is literally one of the funniest people i have ever met in my life oh my god it’s so rare for me to find people whose sense of humor just Clicks with mine but like. four messages in and we were sending each other memes and becoming best friends and it was fantastic! i have never once felt weird or intimidated talking to them which is crazy for me, a person who feels weird and intimidated a Lot, and also need i reiterate his INSANE TALENT !! like holy shit ! my go to person for talking about gf mike wheeler or mitski or literally just anything and everything. yvie if you’re reading this i am putting u in my pocket and holding u so close. mwah. also we are married, btw. if anyone cares.

haven @bookinit02 OK. you all have heard me gush about haven a million and one times on this blog and i’m sure you’ve seen her gush about me because she’s (rightfully) obsessed with me (/j. kind of) but haven was the first friend i ever made in the byler community which is so so beyond insane to me. i fell in love with her writing so instantaneously and you guys should’ve been there to see my reaction when i saw her leave her first comment on my fic. literally screamed it was so embarrassing 😭 we talked exclusively through ao3 comments for a while because she’d yell every time i updated ihcisc and i’d yell every time she updated her season 2 rewrite and then one day she dm’d me asking me to make a twt to add me to a byler gc and the rest was History. anyways haven is one of the most talented most creative people i’ve ever met BUT she’s also one of the sweetest and most compassionate people on the face of this planet and deserves nothing but good things always ! she’s one of those people that i need to talk to every day or i’ll go insane and i love how our convos can speedrun the entire human spectrum of emotions within like. 5 minutes. she’s so incredibly supportive and my #1 hype girl and she has the freaky ability to entirely turn my mood around on a bad day in less than 20 seconds. she literally managed to sleuth around and find my venmo just to send me soup money. if i could buy her Everything then i literally would. i would eat cilantro for her. i would watch the mlvn makeout scene for her. i would get my socks wet for her. literally i would do anything for her and i can’t wait until i see her in june and i chase her in circles around the airport and then we kiss👩🏼‍❤️‍💋‍👩🏽 and we Hug so tight and platonically 🫂

thea @wiseatom u already know. i tell her every day that i would do literally anything she asked of me and it’s true! literally 2 minutes ago she said “suni u should dye ur hair green” and for a moment i seriously considered it. anyways thea is objectively the funniest fucking person i have ever met in my life and is also my twin. if my twin were blond and taller and also a different age. in all seriousness though thea feels like the world’s most insane older sister to me and as an Actual older sister i’m really loving the feral little sibling treatment. she’s so insane easy to talk to (probably bc our brains work in the exact same way) and Oozes talent from literally every single cell in her body. she sends me a snippet of her work and i spend the next 10 minutes rolling on the floor trying not to SCREAM. there are so few people who can make me laugh as much as she does but also turn me into a blubbering mess of a baby with her Evil Cruel Prose 2 seconds later but thea wiseatom has been put on this planet to achieve the impossible. i have rarely felt so seen as i do when i talk to her, whether it’s for advice or Wallowing or complaining about our disproportionately large heads together, she is so kind and supportive and one of my favorite people Ever. i can’t believe the universe put her 3000 miles away from me because i Need to be a menace to her in person but we’ll make it work. every day i say goodnight to her at 8 pm my time and then say good morning to her at 2 am my time and then i go to bed <3 thea if you’re reading this (and u better be. i tagged u) i hope u know that u are the light of my life and i am packing my bindle as we speak to begin the cross country trek. mwah.

@andiwriteordie ANDI ! i miss talking to u every day but u are so busy with ur big girl job and cranking out quality fics at light speed so i’ll give u a pass 😔 andi is literally a legend in the byler fic community so when i found out she Knew Who I Was,,, i died. i literally died. even when we haven’t talked in a while i love how we can pick up a convo like nothing has changed or send posts that remind us of each other or go crazy apeshit in each others tags like there’s no tomorrow !! andi is so so inspirational to me, she is so kind and creative and full of positivity (even if her writing is mean and full of Sadness and Misery. still haven’t forgiven u for descent, btw) she feels like my other older sister and she has such an insane way with words that i will never understand ! thank u for singlehandedly keeping byler tumblr going, i hope 2023 is so kind to u and u get ultra promoted and have so much fun at the eras tour like u deserve <3

moon aka @smoosnoom omg ok not only is moon so crazy talented but she is such! a sweet person! back when i started writing for byler she was such an enigma to me, an ao3 user and a total Mystery, so i never expected us to actually talk and now! here we are! she is so uplifting and supportive and i’ve loved getting to know her over the past few months, whether it’s bonding over our shared hatred (affectionate. mostly) of finn wolfhard or bawling our eyes out to everything everywhere (oh my god.) seeing her comment on my first fic literally made my heart stop dead in my chest. she has such a gift for making everyone feel so immediately accepted and welcome in any space, and i will spend the rest of my life stewing in anger that she’s taller than me. that feels extremely, unfathomably illegal. anyway moon if ur reading this (and u also better be! bc i tagged u!!) i hope the new year is so good to u <3 mwah ily

[theyaskedmeto]

what i think each og new direction member's social media presence would be like

basically i’ve been doing nothing all day and i’m way too addicted to social media and i started thinking about this so here we are. also i’m just gonna pretend social media was a big thing when they were at school (it obviously wasn’t but lets pretend this is set in like 2016 or smth)

rachel berry

lets be honest rachel would be so damn annoying on social media (not like that’s a surprise tho she’s annoying anyway)

she’d definitely use instagram the most

she’d post photos of her and finn holding hands and caption it like ‘My world, I love this boy 🔐❤️🌏✨’ and then deletes them all when they break up

EXCESSIVE use of emojis 

posts selfies and quote song lyrics in the caption

posts what she’s listening to on her stories (usually boradway) and feels very entitled because of it

posts singing videos 

santana and brit probably bully her in the comments of her posts lbr

honestly i can’t see her having any other forms of social media tbh, she just always uses instagram

auto caps stay ON at all times bc it’s ‘against the rules of basic grammar’

tries to talk in the nd groupchat but no one likes her or listens. like ‘What song should I do for a solo this week’ and then it starts a massive argument

finn hudson

one of those boys who just takes photos of The Scenery™ and no photos of him

maybe posts some photos of him and rachel when they’re together though

actually he probably does the same thing as rachel like ‘Can’t believe this girl is mine 😍💗’ and commenting ‘Love You ❤️’ on her posts but it just seems v high school

probably not very active but uses instagram the most

does a lot of those ask thingys on instagram like ‘send me an emoji and i’ll say what i think about you’ LMAO

i feel like he’s not very involved with it because he prefers video games more lol

uses ‘😂’ unironically

auto caps on and doesn’t even know having them off is a thing

noah puckerman

USES SNAPCHAT. nothing else. but he does have insta

has sent streaks to everyone he’s friends with on sc and will continue to until he’s like 25 

posts way too many mirror selfies with the flash on without his shirt off (ew) 

literally never talks in the nd groupchat

auto caps on - actually he probably Types Like This All The Time

has A Rule that if he’s talking to a girl he has to not reply for at least 2 hours but if it’s a guy then he has to reply asap (bros before hoes type vibe)

blaine anderson

i really don’t think he’d use it that much??? i feel like he’d get too overwhelmed ahdkjhdjs

WAIT APART FROM TUMBLR

he’s probably very involved with tumblr and is part of the star wars fandom/marvel fandom

his ao3 history is between him and his computer only

ppl wanna be his friend on tumblr because he’s just nice and kind 🥺

he’s probably quite popular on there - has a lot of followers

but he doesn’t really use any others - has an instagram but there’s no posts on there

maybe he tries to spread awareness on his insta stories???

hates snapchat with a passion 

uses :) :( <3 ;_; way too much (he’s on tumblr)

has auto caps off. like he’s a fanboy okay he’s on TUMBLR fgs. 

occasionally talks in the nd groupchat but is normally a bit intimidated by all the arguments it causes 

v open about his sexuality on his insta (has a 🌈in his bio🥺)

brittany pierce

she uses all of the main ones (insta and snapchat)

posts loads of photos of lord tubbington on there and adds loads of gifs on her stories

such!! a wholesome!!! insta page!!!!!

lots of mirror selfies with the flash on

bad spelling 😔

tries to do those story bingo things but gives up when she gets confused

also has another insta account to build her fondue for 2 channel 

auto caps OFF

uses all the pretty emojis way too much like ‘went to the park 🏞 it was so ✨💗 fun!!! 🌸🌈☀️ we had a good time 😍’

is the QUEEN of the nd groupchat along with santana. tbh her and santana would just use it as their place to talk about everything rather than private messages

santanna lopez

her whole instagram is just selfies

uses snapchat quite a lot but when she gets older she stops completely and deletes it ‘snapchat is for straight ppl’

cyberbullies rachel ajhfdsjhd

does ops on her story and is just brutally honest to everyone who asks 

auto caps stay on but sometimes she forces her keyboard to type all lowercase

NEVER uses emojis. not even :( or :) she just never uses them ever

has a tiktok addiction for when she gets sad about britt (especially s2 when britt isn’t with her)

kurt hummel

uses instagram to show off his outfits 

especially when he gets older and lives in ny!! 

there’d be such cute lil videos of him and blaine on his story like taking videos of his ootd and then blaine photobombing and then he zooms in on him and laughs ok i’ve thought about this too much

compliments all his besties on their photos like ‘So gorgeous 😍’

auto caps stay religiously ON but uses a lot of abbreviations like ‘btw and ily’ etc

in the early days of him and blaine being together, he’d be quite private about it but around the time just before he leaves for ny they get more public

only uses emojis for reactionary purposes eg. to compliment friends

posts photos of anything. honestly i want to see his insta it’d be so cute

has a private instagram for his close friends where he shitposts his whole life like ‘Dad’s taking us to get mcdonalds!!!!’ with blaine

sam evans

posts shirtless pics and all the girls thirst over him ajdhksjdk

uses insta more than snapchat but always sends streaks (maybe when he’s younger tho like around season 4 i don’t think he would be anymore)

also v wholesome though??? like i think he’d post pics of what flowers he got his mum for mothers day 

posts pics of mercedes on his story when they’re together 🥺

posts his favourite songs on his story

auto caps ON bc he doesn’t know having them off is a thing lol

uses 😂 unironically

mercedes jones

doesn’t post much on any social media platforms but is always liking everyone elses posts and complimenting her friends

posts more on her story than anything else

when she gets more confident in herself tho, she posts more (especially when she moves to new york)

occasional photos of sam when they’re dating with a lil love heart emoji on her story

lots of emojis but she uses them when necessary

auto caps on!!!

tina cohen-chang

THE SAME AS RACHEL WITH MIKE but like 10 times less annoying and people actually care

literally the cutest couple on instagram with the new directions group

uses the nd groupchat quite regularly bc people actually LISTEN to her there

has a cute lil gc with sam and blaine with some weird ass name

switches to auto caps off after she goes through her goth phase 

uses :) and :( and also a few pretty emojis eg. 💗☀️✨🌟💐🍬 to make her captions looks pretty

v quick replier

quinn fabray

this bitch has too many emotions for social media ok?

just watches tiktok to cheer herself up but it makes her more sad

has an instagram but never posts on there

if you wanna message her just text because she’ll never reply otherwise

disappears off the face of the earth during her skank phase. deletes her instagram and everything

auto caps on but it doesn’t even matter because she never even needs to use her keyboard 

(we’re talking s3 tho. in like s1 she’d have been into it to keep up her persona lol. her insta would’ve defo had over 1k followers)

mike chang

uses insta more than sc and posts photos of him and tina on his story 

fast replier - loyal king

fully ignores the nd groupchat because he avoids drama 😌✨

non caps because it ‘looks friendlier and not like you’re shouting’

will help you with your homework if you have any questions 

like ‘hey have you done this english homework?? i can’t find any good quotes that’ll help with the question’ and he’ll reply fast with a whole list bc he’s an academic KING

would love to post some dancing videos but gets too scared :(

artie abrams

has no social media and is rlly annoying bc its so hard to contact him

auto caps on. i mean like how would u know having them off was a thing if you don’t have any socials

fully punctuates every text

[shinwhoohoo]

This is gonna be long sorry omgOn the differences in opinion- I think it has to do a lot with the level of involvement in B1A4 as a group. Seems like there were a lot of fans that were only fans for jy after litm but probably couldn't have named the other members so ofc they're gonna want jy back and take things like him leaving "b1a4 jinyoung" as his bio or whatev as a sign that he's "just left the company not the group!" (1/?)

(lmao can't believe that's still being said after A3 has put in so much work to continue as 3 like dont disrespect them like that please. They named their album origine for a reason bc it's like a rebirth lol jy is never coming back sorry everyone) And people that were like "who's gonna write their songs if jy is gone" w/o realizing they actually had 2 amazing songwriters in the group but CNU's songs were always crowded out by jy and jy always got the "jinthoven" credit or whatever. (2/?)

ANYWAY yeah i think it might come down to like singles fans vs full album fans if you know what i mean? i never had twitter so idk why it seems like more casual fans are over there though. On a side note I think A3 has made it clear that b1a4 is a three member group now and i don't see any future where jy would be allowed back in (not sure about baro, his situation was a lot different i remember talking to someone in like jan 2018 about how i though baro wouldn't resign his contract) (3/?)

Like i miss the 5 of them and i love them all but the level of trauma it was to A3 seems like it would be impossible to overlook. Like sometimes i wish i could be back w my ex but like it couldn't ever be the same as when it was good bc i've been hurt and we are different ppl bc of it and i feel like that's the same for b1a4 lol sorry to get personal. ot5 wouldn't be the same and what we have now with cnu, sd, and gc is better than anything a "current" ot5 would be. (4/?)

(but also my secret fever dream hope is that cnu and baro make some music together not as b1a4 just as a lil side project when sd and gc have to enlist lol obv not gonna happen but a girl can dream) okay that's it thank you for reading i don;t get to talk to anyone about b1a4 ever bc i deleted my tumblr and just come check in when something happens so i might have gone overboard but i loveee b1a4 so much and im sure everyone says this ab their fave group but b1a4 is special and the best (5/5)

Oh my gosh don’t apologize, there’s nothing I love more than getting a long ask like this!!

Totally. Jinyoung gained so much recognition After ‘Moonlight’ and being part of Produce 101 that a lot of fans probably just came on board at that time for him. And just being a fan of B1A4 because you’re a fan of his means you probably don’t follow what actually goes on with the rest of the members.

lol and I know-- you’d think naming the album ‘Origine’ and basically them talking about how it’s a fresh start as three etc. would be enough of a clue but again, who knows how closely these ‘fans’ are even following A3 now and what they say during promotions. It’s a shame though because they’re missing out on some really good CNU compositions. The whole ‘Jinthoven’ thing is funny-- at the time it started years ago I never thought much of it. But maybe it kinda got to his head after a while. And it definitely did overshadow the fact that CNU (and now Sandeul) also composes for the group.

The situation for sure seems different. I think Baro would probably be welcomed back sooner if it was of any interest to him. But Shindeulchan have for sure made it clear that the group is 3 for now. There’s been no mention whatsoever of ‘but we’ll welcome Jinyoung and Baro back’. There’s hardly been any mention of them, in general. And if there is, A3 doesn’t even refer to them by name so... yeah.

That’s a good point. When Baro and Jinyoung left, they started a new path for themselves. Prior to that, all five were on the same path, the same basic trajectory as a group who did so much together for 7+ years. Those paths no longer run together. So the last 2 and a half years has allowed them to grow differently, where even if they were all to get back together, it just might not be the same anyways. 

god a 2woo single of mix tape would have been fire. Yeah, probably not gonna happen but I’ll share that dream with you 🥲

Thanks for dropping by and talking with me about it!! Even if you don’t have Tumblr anymore, anytime you wanna drop and ask to talk, feel free to~!

nohebi headcanons!!!

they have this team tradition where the upperclassmen to take the first years to visit the meiji-jingu shrine at the beginning of the year, where they write down their wishes and hang them up on the ema board

daishou dyed his hair green in his second year and the volleyball team all laughed and poked fun but as soon as somebody else said anything mean, they were all ready to Fight™

sakishima actually joked that daishou dyed his hair to match with the team uniform

in reality daishou saw the actor of his favorite tv show dye his hair green, so he wanted to do the same

daishou insists on giving everybody on the team ‘cute’ nicknames

BUT he hates when people give him nicknames, and so he just tells everybody to call him suguru or daishou, and nothinf else

sakijimas rlly inescure abt his freckles and wants them gone but everybody in nohebi is just like ‘????? u dont have enough freckles.... u need MORE freckles’

sakijima always emphasizes that his name is pronounce sakishima, and gets pissed off when its pronounced otherwise

sakijimas for sure a social media stalker and has a lot of blackmail on the third years because of it

takachiho may look innocent but hes actually one of the biggest shits on the team, which works so well for their strategy on the court

takachiho has this kinda nervous tic or tell where he’ll run his hands through his hair and ???? its pretty hot

takachihos always pushing for team bonding activities or like team outings bc he genuinely loves nohebi and wants them to be a close knit team that can work well together on and off of court. and they’re like the brothers that he never got to have!

hiroo and sakijima went to the same junior high and have a really close bond that often comes off as ‘i fucking hate this bitch so much’

hiroo gets confessions from girls a lot but because he is big gay he always declines them

hiroos one of the biggest volleyball nerds on the team and sometimes he writes a bunch of possible rotations and plays in his notebook during school instead of actual schoolwork and thats why his grades r so low

all of the first years are scared of numai at first because he looks so angry and scary all the time but they realize pretty soon that all the other third years are way more loud and obnoxious and annoying than him (but like in a good way)

numai’s probably the most aggressive and confrontational on the team when he reaaally wants to be

throwback to that one time when second yesr numai beat up some guy who was shit talking nohebi and had to talk to a teacher one on one about it

the only one who can get him (and any other nohebi player thats too riled up) to calm down is akama

akama is like 80% of the third years favorite kouhai, except nobody is willing to admit it and akama never says which third year he likes the best

whenever their team practices serves he always receives but he always clowns the ppl who serves poorly bc hes a little shit

seguro rlly thinks hiroo is the best third year ever and everybody else knows that thats complete and utter bullshit but that doesnt stop seguro from looking up and admiring the guy so damn much

seguro even got hiroo to to start teaching him how to do a jump floater before he retired

seguro can give rlly good piggyback rides but hes also constantly scared that hes gonna drop somebody or just collapse entirely

everybody tried their hardest to do something to get kuguri riled up, and for hiroo and sakijima that meant playful teasing, but it never worked and they always ended up getting massively roasted so they just leave him alone

kuguri isnt the type of person to taunt the other side during matches but he makes quiet snide remarks and comments that his teammates hear and repeat, but louder

and often times theyre much better than what everybody else notices or comes up with

the third years started pushing for a new banner with a new motto at the beginning of the year bc it felt a bit too on the nose but the coach like the irony of it so they kept it

hiroo often invites the team over to his house so they can ‘bond,’ but in reality he just wants to play mario kart and mario party and overcooked just to get everybody mad and yelling bc its very funny to him

sakijima and daishou always complain about the colors of nohebi and their school n volleyball uniform because theyre such picky fashionistas and theyre being forced to wear plaid pants and a striped tie and some flashy yellow color—

daishou is adamant about having a team gc on instagram or twitter so they can all keep in touch and send each other funny posts

the team can not (i repeat not) find one singular person that they all find to be conventionally attractive and it is exhausting

seguros always sending pics of attractive ppl in their gc and going ‘? do we stan?’ and there’s always one person that goes ‘no theyre so ugly’

kuguri is secretly a big memelord and likes making memes about certain teachers and events in school and things that happen during practice or games

nohebi rarely gets practice match invites from tokyo teams bc nobody...... nobody rlly likes them..... so they have a lot of connections with schools outside of their prefecture

[pocmuzings]

hi! i just wanna go ahead and say that you don't have to answer this if you'd prefer not to and i will look for someone else but whenever i see you give advice it's always SO GOOD so i figured i would turn here first if that's alright?? so i just joined an established rp and they seemed really welcoming!! a lot of people reacted to my plot calls, a lot of people welcomed me to the discord, etc., but i sent everyone who reacted some ideas (1/3?)

with reasoning that wasn't like 'oh ur fc is hot' (that they could take or leave of course!) you know? (that said i didn't send many shippy ones haha! but the vibe!) anyway only a few people have gotten back to me and of those few people only one or two have added on more instead of just a kinda 'yeah!' -- do you have any advice on how to feel more included/get more plots in an established rp when you've been reaching out? idk if i'm doing something wrong or if the messages are getting buried (i'm really nervous that if they are they won't be seen again bc i'm eternally too anxious to send a follow-ups haha) or what's happening but i was just expecting some more plotting than has been happening. so sorry for all these messages - brevity clearly isnt my strong suit haha - but please lmk if you'd rather i ask someone else it's totally fine!!! thank you either way and i hope you have a lovely day/night!!!! <3

hello and tysm for the kind words ! i completely understand your feeling here , and i can admit - it's an odd situation and something i've been in similarly before . how long has it been since you've messaged them ? and are they active on the gc / dash ? i think if it's been a few days , there is nothing wrong with sending another mssg just saying v nicely ' hi ! i know ur probably busy sorry i just wanted to check if u'd gotten the chance to read the above and if ur interested at all ? ' . thats a good way of following up , bc some ppl may very well be like me and just Not Reply to discord mssgs sometimes bc they get overwhelmed or they just Forget or they accidentally click in when they didnt mean to and then forget to reply altogether etc . so lets assume maybe one of those , in the first instance .

if they reply and don't have much energy or just say smth like yeah sure sounds good , and dont give much back to you . . this is when i'd reach out n mssg the admins and express exactly what you've said to me . you've reached out to ppl . you've come up with as many plots as u can for diff chars and stuff , and u love the rp / love everyone ooc , but ur finding it hard to really slot yourself in and really get proper plots that people like / interact with . if they're good admins , they'll immediately work to remedy this and mb do an event like randomising char pairings to write a thread together , or a discord event , or maybe they'll even start having their own chars really interact and get plots with urs !

however , there's also the case in that established rps are established and sometimes . . ppl just get way too comfortable and they don't want to expand / get any more plots or connections bc they've gotten when they need and they don't need or want anything else in terms of writing and plots . this is the worst kind of established rp to get in . bc the admins usually also are a bit Eh on the whole front . if this is the case . . do not wait for it to get better or for other new ppl to join . you are better off leaving . truly . seriously . just leave . i know u love ur own chars and u may love everyone ooc , but it is unfair on u to join a rp and not actually get to rp !

anyways . . i hope this helps ! pls know that u deserve writing partners who get JUST AS excited as u and want to plot and write with u too ! it shouldn't all just fall on u to do !
