The Awardist - Nicholas Galitzine & Taylor Zakhar Perez
I have to write down the best bits and record my thoughts while listening to this because I am completely losing my mind over what is our first real interview with the boys that was recorded in real time.
27:55 - right off the bat we got a great inside joke/reference from the host that had me cackle
28:19 - taylor being happy to see their faces and nicholas immediately shutting him down like "well i'm not happy to see taylor's face"
28:40 - taylor joking about putting a post-in note over nick's face lmfao
29:30 - the way they don't want to talk over each other, it's giving alex's bedroom flashbacks
29:40 - nick being like "oh! oh, it's good!" when dipping into the online response when the movie released lmfao 😆
30:33 - the silence following the social media question where they were apparently nodding followed by taylor saying they were texting each other like "mate" "mate" back and forth
31:20 - THEY TALKED ABOUT THE SIGNING WARS
31:44 - nicholas calling taylor "this little fucker" had me dying cause me and @meraki-yao were literally referring to him as that in our conversation on ig yesterday
32:00 - nicholas genuinely asking taylor "what possessed you to do this?"; it's giving storage closet in the children's hospital vibes when henry's like "why do you dislike me?"
33:04 - "take it nick" immediately upon being asked the dense question regarding fans reacting to their portrayals of henry and alex, and the way that nicholas laughs and stutters makes me think that taylor totally did that on purpose to mess with him lmfao
34:00 - taylor stopping to talk to fans regardless of where he is or where he's going and specfically mentioning how meaningful it was that people have said *TW* they were contemplating suicide when they read the book/watched the movie and that it helped them 🥺
35:40 - the host referred to the film as "a coming out story", which i don't really agree with as a label because the coming out portion is an added piece of their relationship as two public figures, but their love is the actual story
36:40 - nicholas referring to the film as "wholesome and funny" made me smile so much because it truly is wholesome
37:18 - not the host making the "top to bottom" joke 😭
37:58 - nicholas and taylor have talked about their friendship with each other and how they instantly clicked; nick knew within a few minutes of rehearsal that taylor was "his buddy" 🥺
38:41 - catch me squaring up with everyone who has made nicholas self conscious and self deprecating about doing so much intimacy work on the screen that he refers to it as "basically his thing" like that's all he's recognized for; i am so ready to punch some motherfuckers 😡
39:10 - "it's so fun now, seeing my mate at all these awards and stuff"; catch me fucking crying
39:24 - not taylor misremembering the "nicholas or joey" question as "who was the better kisser"; he totally combined the "is nicholas a good kisser" question with the "who has your heart tonight" question
40:05 - taylor talking about matthew's background in theatre and how they got to actually rehearse with each other; i will never stop being insanely grateful that matthew is a theatre guy
40:55 - the way i said "oh my god" out loud because i was so excited by the question
41:14 - improvised the "physicality" of the store room; i.e. they just fell on top of each other and clamored around 😂
41:32 - the way i literally gasped so hard that i started coughing when nicholas called taylor "tay", i am not even fucking joking, that was so fucking cute 😭
43:42 - fucking wheezed upon realizing where the question going
44:02 - the knowing way taylor was like "i will take this one" lmfao
45:10 - not me going so red from second hand embarrassment 🫣
45:44 - taylor bringing the jockstrap that nicholas wears in bottoms, and nicholas immediately adding "i won't even go into mary & george" 😂
47:51 - taylor finishing nicholas' sentence about matthew's direction for the cake scene; sharing a braincell lol
48:36 - taylor's dog passed away the night of the first day of filming like wow, that fucking sucks 🥺😭
49:05 - "everyone's looking at me with these sad eyes" made me so sad but then taylor said "do you want some tea?" in a terrible british accent lmfao
49:50 - nicholas complimenting and boosting taylor's performance while having such a hard time emotionally 🥺
50:49 - taylor bringing up running through the museum; i can hear the smile in his voice while talking about it 😭
51:28 - they filmed the kensington palace fight and the red room the week after nicholas got covid
52:40 - oh my god, the way you can hear nick grinning as he throws taylor under the bus for the sequel question 😂
53:30 - taylor wants a second book to base the sequel off of
54:03 - taylor used they/them pronouns for casey!! see? he knows, it was totally nerves
55:20 - it felt like it was over too soon, i desperately need more of them PLEASE 😭
This is the greatest thing that's happened in like, a month for me lmfao I am literally begging for more people to interview the boys about RWRB, I am so fucking desperate for more content of the two of them together. They are everything to me 🥺
Thanks for reading!! If you enjoyed this essay & would like to support me, you can give me a tip on my Ko-Fi! ☺️

I’m sorry if someone has already asked you this but I just discovered your blog and I have to know what your headcannons are of BTS while high
anon… NO ONE has asked me this yet!!!! and you have my whole entire heart for taking one for the team and doing god’s work. i have treated this ask with the utmost importance and i only hope that i don’t disappoint you. also i'm sorry this took me literally all day LMFAO let me just open this with a blanket statement: the sheer number of bangtan giggles that there would be. i think i would die. anyway. onwards and upwards
namjoon
tbh my boy namjoon already speaks like he is stoned. he is ALWAYS waxing poetic and having an existential crisis, and that would increase tenfold if found holding a blunt. he’s making connections, he’s drawing conclusions. the empty chip bag that he has just devoured is definitely a metaphor for fame and how people take everything they love from you and then there’s nothing left for yourself. he’d sit on that for about five minutes before feeling guilty for thinking such thoughts about HIS army, who always refills his metaphorical chip bag.
seokjin
think of the windshield wiper laughs. OH he would be making the stupidest jokes (yes more than he already does). he gets great pleasure from jokes that make people groan. in seeming direct contrast, our gamer guy would be absolutely COUCHLOCKED. but he’d find that for some reason he just isn’t as angry at failures/deaths as he would be sober. and he thinks, “is THIS peace? have i never known it before this moment?” he didn't think he could get any more go with the flow than he already was. but if you think he’s not paying attention to the room around him, think again. he's making fun of everyone else losing their minds, all with eyes glued to the screen.
yoongi
oh bro. yoongi? he’s already an encyclopedia of useless knowledge, sprinkled with existential dread and hatred of the system. my man is ranting and RAVING about the capitalist machine. he doesn't understand why people have to work themselves to death to survive with no opportunity to enjoy life. he's pissed about the fact that he now benefits so greatly from a system he initially set out to be publicly against. and then he'll go on for 15 minutes about stucco, no transition. he's also hearing the most mundane sounds and recording them on his phone because they'll be perfect samples for a track. and then when he listens back to them the next day, he'll be like "what the absolute fuck was this?"
hobi
hobi for the first 20 minutes of the high is a silent observer. it's a little overwhelming right at the beginning, so he's probably a little in his head. he's just taking everything in. but after he crests the peak, he is loosey goosey. music has never made him want to dance more, and he didn't know that was possible. our boy's taste in music is made for getting stoned to. he's wiggling over to the snacks, wiggling with the snacks in his hand. falling to the floor, shouting with laughter when he sees how absolutely ZOOTED his members are. after he wipes the tears from his eyes, he sees yoongi sampling the sound of the ice maker and immediately goes over to be his ultimate hype man.
jimin
park jimin. my sweet baby. he knows that mama didn’t raise no bitch, so he’s taken extra hits after everyone’s tapped out. his eyes are basically permanently shut. for the life of him he cannot stop giggling. he’s in that every single thing that happens is funny mode. can’t hold himself upright. we’re talking hands on shoulders, we’re talking heads in laps, we’re talking falling to the floor. kim taehyung is the funniest person to exist in his eyes (yes more than normal). usually he cringes at himself speaking affectionately about his members, but all inhibitions are gone. he loves them SO MUCH, and he’s absolutely not going to shut up about it. he’s making grandiose plans for them to never get around to doing together because they’re not actually reasonable.
taehyung
taehyung is also thinking thoughts, putting things together. we're talking about the brain that brought us borahae. of course, for one good realization, you have to have about one hundred terrible ones. think of the highest thought you've ever had, or have ever heard someone else have, and you might have stepped inside the anomaly that is kim taehyung's head. some shit like, "what if birds aren't singing and they're actually screaming because they're afraid of heights?" and of course, jimin is fully ready to take this thought that he accidentally vocalized, turn it into a bit, and beat it into the ground. legend has it they're still figuring this out.
jungkook
on his most productive day, our maknae is operating as head empty, no thoughts. so there's no doubt in my mind that he's staring at the wall. not a damn thing is happening up there, i promise you. he's just realized AGAIN that he has hands, but he has no idea what to do with them. because he's completely unaware of what's going on in the room around him, he's interrupted taehyung and jimin's bit to ask them what he should do about his hand predicament. but while he was trying to get their attention, his hand brushed over one of the blankets on the couch and goddamn is it not the softest thing he's ever felt. so his focus has shifted entirely to feeling this blanket. rinse and repeat.

SUCCESS #4 - THIRD PARTY OBLITERATED!
I literally never ran to open tumblr so quick yall. MY SP AND HIS PARTNER BROKE UPPP. - Long post, so TL;DR if you don't wanna read: I affirmed inconsistently and mostly focused on visualizing for a week, and my sp broke up with the third party yesterday. Story under the cut ↓
I don't like to go deep into old circumstances but basically with my new sp (he doesn't even know who i am 💀) he had a boyfriend and they have been together for a WHILEEEE like almost 9 months. But did I care? hell no!! I had been affirming inconsistently for a week (I think I started like December 6th?) I was saturating my mind with the idea of him being single, so along with affirming I would imagine him deleting the pics with his boyfriend off his ig and imagine him removing his bfs name from his bio, etc and I mean I would REALLY be invested in my visualizations. I was literally smiling and giggling to myself in my room at like 3 am thinking about how happy i'd be seeing that man out of his life. I wasn't just affirming and then going back to having random thoughts. NO. I was purely focused on this man being single and ready to befriend me and fall in love. Since I was heavily focused on it I was like already kind of knowing I'd see some type of movement soon and EXPECTING to see it. And ofc.. guess what happened?
fast forward to this morning a friend whos been M.I.A (missing in action, aka gone) FOR LIKE 2 WEEKS!!! texts me about some drama (which I think is part of my other manifestation to ruin my ex besties relationship bc she told me a lot of stuff about ex-bestie's current bf but let me not gossip incase they ever find my page ik they have tumblr LMAO) And after we talked about the drama and I asked her about how shes doing etc, I name dropped my sp without even thinking about it and honestly looking back I think that was inspired action maybe? but guess what. she told me SP AND HIS BF BROKE UP YESTERDAY NIGHT 😭 I was in so much disbelief I screen recorded her voice msg and replayed it back 5 times just to make sure I was hearing her right. remember y'all, NOTHING can mess up your manifestation if you believe it won't. lmfao because I was spiraling out of control screaming yelling crying to the heavens like 2 days ago because I was getting impatient. deep down I know it wouldnt have taken this long if I wasn't obsessed with him but you live and learn!
next on my list is for me to manifest us being friends nd him having a crush on me. (And if anyone's curious yes me and my ex I manifested back are still together. I'm just a cheater LMFAOOO) anyway see yall soon 🥰🥰

Hi! I’m an Aussie with Ozzie head canons for roach!
The Australian sun is something else if you ever visit you need actual Australian sun screen not stuff made overseas it will not work and you will BURN! I believe Roach would have a side hustle selling the good Aussie sunscreen.
We have big bush cockroach’s roach would definitely have a terrarium full of them in his room
Roach was in a car when Ghost drove and yelled out Bloody Oath unironically when they nearly crashed and the 141 will not let him live it down ( based on an irl experience)
If soap celebrated when the queen died Roach was right there with him (they make fun of the actual Brit’s on the taskforce)
If an American calls Roach British the nearest 141 member has to hold Roach back while he swears them out.
When drunk people don’t understand what he’s saying.
If anyone has any questions about Australia I have more info!
This isn't how this works, im aware, but the mental image of roach going "psst psst you want some of the good stuff" and opening up an oversized jacket like he's a drug dealer to some poor random soldier IT HAS ME ON MY KNEES LMFAO
Ok yeah there's no way roach doesn't have giant bush cockroaches as pets. I think if Roach is meant to be Australian he's gotta like all da critters
No fuckin' clue what "bloody oath" is but if it's something cheesy as hell, then yeah! Zero doubt in my mind!
No fr soap and roach were celebrating ALL NIGHT when the queen died
There's actually a whiteboard with a tally of how many fights roach has been in for being called British per month.... so far the record is 38 💀

Hi, there! If you don't mind me asking, how did you make all those Bob's Burgers compilations? ( I love them btw 💕) I've been wanting to learn how to make some myself.
AWW THANK YOU SO MUCH
there's probably a better way to make comps than how i do it 😭 it takes forever because i watch the ENTIRE series (just to make sure i miss absolutely nothing lmfao) on a website that allows me to screen record since i cant on Disney. it's definitely easier if i'm making a secondary/minor-character-specific comp because i can just look up the episodes they're in and only watch those ones. BUT the specific website i used to make everything thats currently up on my channel hasn't been working well for everybody recently, so thanks to one of my friends i've got a FAR better website that i'll 100% use to make all my comps from now on!
it's called No Bullshit Bob's Burgers and it even allows you to search up episodes by name (with minimal pop ups)!!! as i find clips during my watch-thru, i sort them into albums in my camera roll by comp, and once i've finished rewatching the entire series and therefore have all my clips gathered, i edit the videos together in Splice. a free mobile app perfect for editing things like this!
it does take up a lot of my storage space lmfao but luckily it's never taken up all of it! and its totally worth it in the end because i am THE most dedicated bobs youtuber out there /j
hope this helped lmfao i am NOT good at giving advice 💀 can't wait to see you make your own comps!!

Holy fuck your theme is incredible. If you don't mind me asking how did you make it?
HELLOOO! thank you smsmsm for the compliment! ^_^ i fear the sirenhub theme will be my staple..
see, while making a theme, the apps i use are pintrest, ibis paint, and capcut! it takes a lot of trial and error and tbh i don’t even know how to properly explain? like, whenever i make a theme i don’t follow a regime i kinda mess around with things and pray for the best LMFAO
this one was definitely one of my easiest ones LOL i just grabbed the layout & took the vid of leon fighting from youtube (screen recorded it) and then cropped it before taking it to capcut and putting the vid as an overlay 🔥
im like really bad at explaining this specifically, because i am FAR from an editor, and tbh i don’t really know how to use capcut that well i just use the overlay with thoughts and prayers 😭😭

i'll listen to some version of some album for good measure not even so much as dutiful research as "yeah i liked the music haha yaaayyy" and i just am generally like "listening to the music what in the?" so knocking back any album is like, probably me firing up the goosebumps the musical phantom of the auditorium original screen cast recording playlist again, hell yes
anyways what i remember. first of all you understand that for a while all i Really specifically knew about little shop, beyond that it existed and had a joie de vivre & je ne sais quoi & the plant, was that there was the dentist song. thanks to marble hornets (that i knew even this). and i knew Just this. so for a good decade i've at least been able to hum the chorus to myself like (be a dentist) you have a talent for causing things Pain (pain!) and i love a bicuspid lyric usage, don't tell joe iconis (imperfect rhyme)
amazed when i did hear it like i've never heard this titular song?? it's so fun. i guess i wouldn't have unless i was experiencing little shop of horrors. but now here we are like i sure remember that one. i also really enjoy The Sound of the chorus of some fun now, both the melody and prosody of it. likewise so high energy and catchy and that juxtaposes so humorously with recalling our montage of rick moranis pouting while getting sucked (the '80s gum lsoh movie novelty stickers ranked by rick moranis's sex appeal text post scrolls by at half opacity while i voice over "a tremendously boneable ricky m") which brings me to one of the most memorable parts of the feed me song being like okay really long list of "what is going on in lsoh metaphor wise (speculated or stated as intended Or as interpreted): for one, sex with the plant" like i do truly appreciate that list just as i truly appreciate someone making a post about which rick moranises are hottest in the vintage gum stickers
i saw indeed the "this is kind of sing speaking as i remember? does it count?" number seems to indeed be a song, da-doo? which works out b/c i sure recall enjoying the doo-wop style backup echoing that sing speaking, speak singing. and of course it being really funny and itself just so B movie and lord like of course choreographed in acting And cinematography and that's so powerful in juxtaposition like grabbing directors Make Your Movie Musical Have The Movieness Work With The Musicalness anyways thanks frank oz obviously. and speaking of being able to see it, is it somewhere that's green that has that like Surburbia Fantasy sequence because that was soooo fucking funny lmfao they crushed that thank god. annnnd. suppertime sequence standing out being so like No Jokes ominous & harrowing for a scene? great to have that, greatly executed. umm he sure Does look like plant food to me, is another musical moment i remember even as that was earlier and of course i remember it due to Effect like exactly, i'm there. it's like the elevation and method of expression that is A Song has effect and it pwns
umm. i mean this is turning into like "what's Everything i remember" but as i especially remember like i do recall any of the movie's required whole new closing number, as stated like also love how there's just plenty to forever pace about mulling over they die, they don't, compare, contrast, i sure don't mind having Both, or all the more opportunity to Juxtapose as much & muse. umm oh my god yeah suddenly seymour like i'm missing some big one huh. t4t happy pride. can you believe little shop had small joe iconis immediately love Musical Theatre or can you believe that for real rick moranis was just There on closing night of joe's broadway debut musical that also is a great and obviously lsoh esque musical and it was just a coincidence? he was just there? and there was already that picture of him (rick) and will when he (rick) was visiting deh and it's like ooh That's giving father & son, will roland seymour krelborn when WHEN and it's me and even as i post this i'm not That familiar with the show in the least (only seen the film once or twiceish, never a stage production) and yet. and later completely coincidentally rick moranis walks on in to closing night of broadway be more chill (chill da-doo) and later than that. finally will roland seymour krelborn. mwah

*cartwheels into ur askbox* BLUEEEEEE HOW ARE UUUUU!!!!!
clearly u are talking to urself because u (🫵 YOU!!!) are precious.
u are so right, every song is beautiful and has a different vibe. i didn’t expect to like smoothie in its entirety at first, i liked the vocal parts but the smoothie, smoothie, smoothie chanting in the chorus was unexpected and i was NOT put on this planet to maintain eye contact with lee jeno (or anyone actually…) while he looks into the camera and i was CERTAINLY NOT put on this planet to have na jaemin talk in my ear jkhksjsa but it grew on me afterwards. i cried when i listened to icantfeelanything and unknown on 2 separate nights so maybe i’ll pick those 2 for my favourites… i rlly liked breathing too, but unknown kinda wiped my mind clean. how about u?? i’m not even talking about the performances because they’re *insane*. i just think jaemin would look nice leaning over someone on a table u know… 😞 i remember being so lost when i first saw him holding a sword like jaemin honey why do u have a sword in a song with fruits. then i saw him fighting the fruits and suddenly it all made sense 🙇 (can i just say i found the bubbling sound at the start of second verse so weird on the first listen, before it grew on me? it’s such a funny lil sound, it adds so much character to the song 🫶)
what u said abt jeno is so sweet i will simply cry till the end of time. “he’s very yes to me” such a valid assessment.
ajhdehjgajha ok well u see i don’t remember much about the day… just that i was living life and suddenly had renjun on the mind. specifically dom renjun staring someone down when they’re bratting, and i had a moment like oh, that’s a Thought. (i’m not even much of a brat, where did that come from?) coupled with dumbification 😅 n u’re right the purple looks so pretty on him!!!
all these renjun thoughts of urs ended all of MY thoughts ever. i am WEAK. please always keep getting carried away because i don’t know how to tell u how much i liked everything u said here omfg. (i might take another 100 words to express my feelings and that would be such a shame…) i think i recently stumbled across something to do with rope play (the past couple days have been tiring and i can’t remember much of anything) nd omgg i was gonna bring it up with u cus,, u know how they sometimes tie it in a way that there’s a knot right over,,, anyway 😵‍💫 so glad to see that u mentioned rope here because now i’m going to Think. hah, time to stop thinking.
panty stuffing is that one insane guilty pleasure that i never see enough of and i’m ALWAYS blindsided whenever it comes up anywhere. (is it cursed if i’m thinking of that with our precious kink because of which we started talking…? i promise i don’t have a one track mind 🫶)
gah, how many times do i tell u, U’RE THE SWEET ONE 😭🥺💞🥳 i’m glad u’ve been good 🥰 small font because i didn’t want to clog up ur (or anyone else’s) screen, let me know if u’d rather it stay big haha. i always talk too much but i don’t quite wish to stop 😔 (unless of course u ask me to 😂❤️) sending u another ask wait—
~🪄
OMG did u see the recording video for smoothie 😵‍💫😵‍💫 jaemin all up in my ear and i’m okay with it 🤭 all the songs are so good i can’t stop listening i have unknown and icantfeelanything on my heavy rotation playlist they’re TOO GOOD (chefs kiss) LMFAO jaemin needs to lean over you at the table just saying ¯\_(ツ)_/ jaemin is our fruity fighter protecting us all and making us get our vitamins
renjun + dumbification oh i am SO here for that,, that would change my mind real quick,,, i feel like he would be so good at that too like just fucking you into oblivion,, no thoughts head empty and he’s just taunting and teasing the entire time like “are you sure you can take it?” “you were begging for this earlier” 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫
i think renjun is def tying ropes over ur cunt like sry he is ,,, i think he would tie it like idk how to explain this but two pieces on your cunt and then tie the ropes so your legs are spread,,, and he’d talk about how pretty the ropes look against your skin but he can’t wait to see the pattern afterwards 😵‍💫😵‍💫
i think panty stuffing should be the norm i don’t make the rules but i will enforce them 🤭🤭 ALSO AGREE
omg you changed the font size how do u even do that LOL i’m good either way and ALWAYS chat with me i love it 🤭🤭

reaction to dream vs dream with mark and jisung!
ever since their mix and max performance and behind the scenes video, i've been paying more attention to these two. i'm really starting to notice in what ways jisung and mark are really so similar. i was rereading my old reaction post to their mix and max behind the scenes stuff and they were saying how mark was basically jisung a few years in the future and now i realize it's because the two of them think and feel the same way. anyway, i'm just really glad that jisung has a hyung like mark that he can look up to. and while they don't have the typical leader/maknae relationship that i see in other groups, i think they do have a special relationship and mark would love the opportunity to bond more with jisung :3
anyway, on with the video!
jisung showing off his extremely injured feet right off the bat. this really is dream feet era
mark snuck over to spy on jisung and had the gall to be like "don't look!"
Tumblr media
jisung: what a weirdo
Tumblr media
mark, looking at jisung's 'injured' feet: what happened to you? jisung: i ran here jisung: to find you of course mark would love something like that
jisung was trying to think of ideas for his last questions and mark was like "well let me tell you what i wrote" and jisung was like "??? no spoilers please? nvm i'll just think of a question on my own" these two guys are messes lmao
Tumblr media Tumblr media
mark's new idea: czennie vs czennie in this case, a mark biased fan vs a jisung biased fan
showing off his new phone case to the world. pretty sure this is something you do on bubble and not on. your variety show lmao
Tumblr media
jisung: why does it feel like we've done dream vs dream before? mark: it's because of mix & max!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
side note, jisung is such a long boy that his feet keep getting cut off at the bottom of the screen
jisung's first question was what song his family liked the most in dream( )scape
LOL so jisung said that his family was iffy after listening to the demos, but after listening to the nct dream versions, they loved that particular song. mark guess smoothie, because his parents were like that too. i keep saying this but mark and jisung are kind of the same person sometimes XD
Tumblr media
mark's question was what he wears around his neck when he goes to sleep. honestly i was going to guess rosary but jisung's guessing actual sleep-related stuff.
the answer ended up being a towel ^^;; pretty normal lmfao. i was the weird one.
jisung saying smoothie so many times that it started to sound like other words ^^;;
jeno sent a message to the group chat saying the name of the song should be someorie (cow's head)
mark's second question was what did jisung do recently that touched mark's heart. jisung was amazed because he wrote a similar question ^^;; jisung is mark's mini-me
Tumblr media
the two most perpetually serious dreamies getting serious
Tumblr media
LOL mark was so sure jisung wouldn't get it right and jisung got it right on the first try X'D
Tumblr media
as always they don't go into detail at all ^^;; but it seems like they had a really serious conversation and mark was inspired by jisung's care to the team
the way mark was like this isn't a matter of your poor handwriting, i think it's actually your korean
Tumblr media
LOSERS
Tumblr media
wow, a SECOND question that the two of them both asked. MARK AND JISUNG ARE THE SAME PERSON!!!!
jisung liked his part with chenle in unknown :3
mark loves jisung's dedication and perseverance in wanting to do well in smoothie <3
Tumblr media
LOL mark reenacting jisung when jisung was proud of doing well on recording smoothie! in mark's mind, jisung is still a little cutie <3
Tumblr media
jisung taking mark for a ride as he listed every single song on dream( )scape XD
Tumblr media Tumblr media
oh man...if mark gets into philosophy he and jisung really be the same person lol
Tumblr media
mark's been reading a page before going to sleep (y) healthy habit
oh wow. but i feel like mark likes this healthy discourse. i think he likes that jisung has his own thoughts and isn't afraid to voice them.
Tumblr media
LOL jisung explaining that both of them used to disagree with haechan and thus the two of them used to agree often.
Tumblr media
aww so jisung liked it when he and mark were on the same team so mark would help him as they tried to argue for their ideas
Tumblr media Tumblr media
LOL third question that is more or less very similar. WHAT DID I SAY?! what did i say about them?!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
yeahhhh like i think mark likes there to be healthy discussion in the group, and it's especially comforting when someone as timid as jisung feels confident voicing his concerns
Tumblr media
lol mark gets annoyed that jisung changes his mind a lot
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
ahhh i love that jisung knows what mark means. like he can probably think of a situation where this happened and now he understands what mark is thinking.
lmaooo arguing about whether they're done questions X'D
aww dream vs dream is now officially over
yo ream ^^;;
Tumblr media
BRO!!!!!!
Tumblr media
aww....i'm starting to love marksung's dynamic a lot. it really feels like...they're catching up but in the emotional sense? especially the questions about what bothered them about the other during promotions. it's like...them really understanding each other and learning from each other in what ways they can be stronger both for themselves for the team. this is like group therapy lol. anyway, loved this!

po!Nagito: *literally saves hajime from death, lives together with him, has been in a relationship with him since ancient times, has basically been raising children with him for centuries, is quite literally married to him*
also po!Nagito: does he even like me fr
It's like I understand it as a komahina enjoyer but it also makes me wanna cry as a komaeda enjoyer😭 though he's not in the story much your characterization is so full and spot on that like I can fully understand the characters who only show up in 2 chapters (cough cough TAKAA my beloved<3) Like in only 2 chapters of screen-time we literally saw the interior design/gardening geek nagito, the panicked and screamy nagito, the tired dad nagito, the heartbroken nagito, and the god of luck who played rockpaper scissors for his husband's life, again, in like 2 chapters alone!!!! Don't get me started on taka I already rambled about him in the comment section
P.S. It's also funny how literally everyone (mainly kokichi) is questioning the big five's relationship choices 💀 I honestly feel like naegami has something to do with "big five god eye candy"💀💀💀💀💀
Tumblr media
just for the record i literally do not mind these asks/questions in the slightest to the contrary i LOOOOOOVE yapping especially about danganronpa especially about my own writing especially about pointy objects. no spoilers, but i do get a little in the weeds about behind-the-scenes, doesn't-fit-in-main-fic stuff
speaking of yapping: YOU KNOW THE DRILL
if only the extent of my yapping was known.........nagito and hajime are my favorite barbie dolls to mash together i love thinking about them i love writing them they are my danganronpa #2 and #3 (gonta <3) i am So mentally ill about them. ok.
so it makes me SOOOOO happy when people say they get my characterization. getting beneath a character's skin and making them feel both 1) recognizable as said character but also 2) distinct in that they fit naturally in the universe i'm writing them in is The thing i'm most attuned to when writing i think. (that and sniffing out plotholes i am so pedantic about my story telling). focusing on the v3 kids gives me very ample time to flesh them out into a balanced mix of the two, but with characters that aren't mainstays it makes me very happy hearing that it's not just, like, a dialogue machine spitting plot-relevant lines and instead the actual character that's meant to be talking. you know? ALL of that to say nagito is notoriously a tough nut to crack, it's a crapshoot on what you'll see him characterized as (with the potential to be really REALLY good and really Uh not so much), so hearing good things about MY guy <3 makes my heart grow five sizes or whatever
ok ok. god help us all when i post kmha writing again IM insane so moving on: other insane people (kokichi) (rantarou)
i could ALSO yammer on for ages about the messy god drama that i've mapped out in my mind palace. i can get much more specific once the fic is actually wrapped but the big five ESPECIALLY. oh what a mess. oh what a nightmare. there's like 1 and a half sane motherfuckers in that club and the half is presently threatening to end the world along with half the others. so. LMFAO
relationship drama especially (i've said that word so much oopsies) among the gods but the big five.........oh great heavens. it's not even the newest relationship within the big five but naegami has sooooo many haters. junko (makotophobic), mikan (in an abusive relationship, functionally makotophobic), nagito (byakuyaphobic), fuyuhiko & peko (also byakuyaphobic), izuru (thinks they're both cringe), hajime (wouldn't send rantarou/shuuichi to camp no matter how much he begged).....and that's only characters we've seen on screen so far LOL. kokichi is not alone in being a hater rather he's the new generation of virulently homophobic gay people. love wins <3
(also as an aside of the 'eye candy' thing; in the human world makoto doesn't beat the trophy husband allegations, but among the gods the roles are 100% reversed LOLLLLLLLLL when shit isn't hitting the fan he gets sooooo bullied during meetings if makoto isn't there)
okay and LAST thing that i sorta briefly touched on a second ago: no, rantarou has not been to camp before! hajime and nagito have offered COUNTLESS times, especially since shuuichi's mother died, but they've remained adamant on their decision to keep them at home in defiance of junko. they have very, very good reason to be extra vigilant about their kids' safety, and when contending with rantarou's precognition + shuuichi's ignorance on the gods......rantarou has been very informed on things, from a very young age. obviously he doesn't get Everything, but he's kept pretty up-to-date on the affairs of the gods. he knows about camp, he knows there are about a dozen or so there, and he knows who the counselors are — knew who hajime was as soon as he began teaching at he and shuuichi's last school, and who nagito was/had his number from a chat he and hajime had very early on into his tenure as their history teacher.
wow okay. THAT got long (as always) but as always i luv answering them!! so thank you <3

Hii!! I’m about to go to sleep but I can’t stop thinking about that stupid tiktok story I made I thought of I said I was going to do something I would actually do it but it obviously doesn’t work that way… I mean I could screen record all of the videos I need for the amount of edits I’ve promised but I just can’t seem to get myself to do it. It’s not the first time I’ve not been able to do something even when wanting to do it my brain is just tired alll I think about is getting the day over with I’m not enjoying to edit rn but if I stop I’ll lose the growth of my account that I worked so hard for idk I’m also moving so now there’s another thing to think about during the day it’s not like my mind is blank all day either I be thinking of the most random things most of the time daydreaming I literally walk around daydreaming I be so immersed in the little perfect fantasy version of my life that I can’t hear people around me probably some of the music if I have headphones on my eyes are heavy they’re basically shutting by themselves
Ig I’ll talk later mood board incoming soon or not that’s why I like this blog I don’t have to worry about posting a lot because this is my safe space no judging and no pressure :]

how to make gifs for free*
*okay, for $5. which is far less than what you would pay for photoshop!
this is my tutorial for people who want to make gifs but do not want to pay the steep monthly fee for photoshop. i feel especially qualified to make this tutorial because i did pay for the monthly photoshop fee a few months ago and honestly, i hated the process of making gifs on photoshop. it was extremely onerous and also cost a lot of money? no thanks! now, are gifs made on photoshop typically better quality than gifs made through free services? yes, but only marginally. and, to me, the slightly-higher quality gifs do not make up for: (a) the cost of photoshop, and (b) the ease of the free-gif making process. it will seem like there are a lot of steps below, but i promise it will all become like second nature soon enough.
BEFORE WE PROCEED: this tutorial is tailored towards the apple ecosystem. however, i’m sure most of the steps in here also apply to windows computers; i’m just not totally sure since i don’t have one.
without further ado, click below to follow the tutorial!
STEP 1: purchase gif brewery 3
this is the only stage where you will need to spend money - this app is integral to the process of creating gifs for free. i have tried out many different giffing apps, and this one is by far the best. it’s called “gif brewery 3 by gyfcat” and you can get it on the app store:
Tumblr media
STEP 2: download or screen record your video
now that you’ve got your giffing software downloaded, you’re going to download your video in an .mp4 format. 
downloading: i typically download from youtube or vimeo. for youtube downloads, you simply copy the link and paste it into a “youtube to mp4″ converter, which you can find through a simple google search of “youtube to mp4″ (a lot of these sites often get taken down and new ones pop up, so don’t get attached to a specific site because it’ll probably be gone like, 4 days later lmfao). for vimeo, i typically google “vimeo video downloader” and a few websites will pop up. 
screen recording: there are a few different screen recording extensions you can add to google chrome, and i’ve tinkered with those in the past. however, recently i’ve been using the built-in macbook screen record function, which can be brought up by pressing command + shift + 5. once that’s brought up, you can change the size of your recording area, click record, and then save the video to your desktop. note that there IS a screen record option built into gif brewery, but i have never used it so i can’t speak to its functionality. 
STEP 3: add your video to gif brewery
now that you’ve either: (a) downloaded your video from youtube/vimeo or (b) screen recorded your video and saved it on your computer; you’re now going to add the video to gif brewery and get giffing! this is where the fun part starts.
1. open up gif brewery and select “open video”
Tumblr media
2. head into your computer and find the video you have downloaded/recorded, and select “open”
3. drag the green and red bars to the areas of your video where you want your gif to start and end. i’m using a video i giffed last week as an example:
Tumblr media
4. click on “settings” in the top righthand corner to bring up this panel:
Tumblr media
5. this is a VERY important step to ensure that your gifs turn out all right. you’ll want to change the settings in the above panel to something like this:
Tumblr media
as you can see, i typically use 25 fps as this helps the gifs flow and not look choppy. some videos, though, work better with 20 fps (this is something you’ll get a sense for when you make a lot of gifs). i typically bring the speed down to between 70-90%, as 100% speed always feels too fast to me. and then i ALWAYS optimize the gif colours to 256. yes, even for black and white gifs.
an interlude about gif sizes: you’ll note that in the above picture, the frame count says “79″. if your gif is larger than say, 600px wide, 79 fps will probably have you producing a decently large gif. keep in mind that tumblr does not allow gifs to be over 10mb, so you’ll need to adjust accordingly. you can apply these settings and then go back and re-adjust those green and red lines from before to shorten your gif to ensure that it adheres to the size requirements of tumblr. also keep in mind that the editing process will add (sometimes significantly) to the size of your gif. so you want to aim for your gif to be well under 10mb at this stage. for small gifs, i don’t limit my fps too much, but for bigger gifs (i.e. ones that are over 600px wide), i will try to limit my fps to under 50. just keep that in mind as a barometer.
6. once you’re happy with your settings, click “create”
Tumblr media
7. clicking “create” will bring up a window which will showcase your gif, as well as your gif size (see red circle):
Tumblr media
at this stage, i’ll often click the “cancel” button in the lower lefthand corner and fiddle with the gif, as my gif sizes at this stage are typically enormous. this is actually a rare example where the gif is well under 10mb. however, for this gif i would crop the black edges out and probably re-size it down a bit to have it further below 5 mb (this video is far too low quality to produce a gif that’s as high as 5mb. this will vary, though, depending on the quality/size of the video).
8. so, clicking “cancel” above, i am going to crop and resize the gif:
- when you click on “crop”, this window will come up where you can adjust the size of your crop:
Tumblr media
when you crop it to where you’re happy with it (if you need to crop your gif, that is), you’ll likely want to resize your gif:
when you click the “resize” button, the dimensions of your gif will pop up:
Tumblr media
a second interlude about gif sizes: okay. here’s the thing about using a software that isn’t photoshop to make gifs. the quality of your gifs will likely suffer, compared to gifs processed through photoshop. through trial and error, i have learned that i have to make my gifs slightly bigger than the standard tumblr sizes in order for their quality to hold up. it has something to do with pixel compression, which i don’t need to go into right now. i have also learned that low resolution videos (like the one i’m using in this example, which frankly looks like it was filmed using a toaster) should almost never be used for full-sized gifs. instead, the quality of these gifs from a low-resolution video will look much better as half-sized, side-by-side gifs in a two, four, six, or eight-gif pattern (god, does that make sense? message me if it doesn’t). standard tumblr sizes are, i think, 540px wide for a full-sized gif, and 270px wide for a half-sized gif. AS SUCH, i typically make my full-sized gifs around 700px wide, to enhance the quality of them once they’re put into tumblr. yes, this means your gifs will have a higher MB output, which means your gifs will need to be shorter than those that could be made through photoshop. these are the struggles we face as Free Gif Makers, however it is worth it to me.
alright, as you can see above, after i’ve cropped the black edges out, this gif is 493x360px. so, it’s under the 540px requirement for a tumblr full-sized gif. the GOLDEN rule of gif-making is to NEVER use a gif that is under 540px wide as a full-sized gif. the gif will be stretched and will lose a lot of quality in the process. however, 493px wide is still well-above the 270px wide standard size for a side-by-side gif. i am going to size this down slightly to 350px wide (remember, we want to be well above the 270px wide standard size, as described above) so my total MBs will be smaller. 
9. now that i’ve cropped and resized, my gif is now only 2.7mb:
Tumblr media
i like this a lot better than the 5mb before, as it gives me more wiggle room in the editing process. i’m happy with it now, so i will click “save...” and save it to my desktop for editing now. 
STEP 4: repeat step 3 for all the gifs you want to make for that specific gifset
i am going to make two gifs to demonstrate to you the side-by-side gif thing i was talking about above. these are the gifs at this stage, pre-editing:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
STEP 5: add your gifs to photopea to begin the editing process
once you’ve created all your gifs in gif brewery 3, you can close the app. for editing the gifs, i use photopea desktop. photopea is basically a walmart photoshop, and i think it works really well considering it’s free. 
1. click file > open
Tumblr media
2. locate your gifs that you save from gif brewery
Tumblr media
3. now is the actually fun part. this is where you can fiddle with the brightness, exposure, temperature, etc., and/or you can add a psd or two to your gif. i almost exclusively use PSDs and then will fiddle with the brightness/contrast/levels/curves/temperature/sharpening/grain on my own after i’ve applied the PSD. i’ve found all the PSDs i use here. that blog should also have tutorials on how to download a PSD. a PSD is basically a file folder with elements in it which will enhance the colouring/lighting of your gif. PSDs are EXTREMELY trial and error when it comes to working with a certain gif or not, so be patient as you try out PSDs on your gifs. when you download a PSD, you will add the file to photopea (file > open > find the PSD and add it), and then drag it on top of all the layers of your gif, like so:
Tumblr media
a note on manually adding brightness/contrast/temperature/sharpening/grain, etc.: you must select all the layers in your gif for these edits to apply these changes, so they all must be highlighted like the below:
Tumblr media
a note on sharpening/grain: adding sharpening/grain to a gif without being careful will HUGELY add to the size of the gif, and will often push it well over tumblr’s 10mb size limit. sharpening can also make your gifs look very bad if you go overboard. i often either don’t sharpen my gifs at all, or am very careful when i do. i always choose smart sharpen (as opposed to “sharpen”, which just adds a shitload of sharpening without you being able to adjust the amount), as i can adjust the sharpening elements with smart sharpen. to find the sharpen tool, go to filter > sharpen > smart sharpen:
Tumblr media
these are the properties i sometimes choose for sharpening. however remember that most of the time i don’t even sharpen my gifs, OR i will do 50% instead of 100%. but i am going to use these properties for the gifs i’m making for this tutorial. you can typically be a bit more liberal with sharpening when you’re making smaller side-by-side gifs, as there is more room for the extra MBs added from sharpening:
Tumblr media
the properties you choose for sharpening will ultimately totally depend on the gifs you’re making, so don’t be afraid to fiddle around with them! i wouldn’t recommend going over 150%, though.
now, grain is something i hardly use in my gifs, as grain adds even MORE to the file size of a gif than sharpening does. however, sometimes it’s cool to have a bit of grain in your gif, so this is what i would do.
locate grain, which is found in filer > noise > add noise:
Tumblr media
use this percentage:
Tumblr media
unless your gif is super tiny, anything above 2-3% grain will make your file size extremely massive. use grain with caution!
STEP 5.1: adding text to your gifs
if you want to add text to your gifs, read this step. if you don’t, skip to step 6. 
the most common font used with gifs on tumblr is calibri bold italic. photopea does not have calibri built in, so you will need to download it from an external source like here and then add the font into photopea. you will likely have to add it in every single time you make a gif, which is mildly annoying, but yet another tribulation of making Gifs For Free:
1. select the “T” icon on the left sidebar:
Tumblr media
2.select the font bar which will appear up top, and then click “load font”
Tumblr media
3. locate the calibri font file that you’ve downloaded in your computer and add it in. i suggest adding it in via zip file, because the zip file will include all of the different versions of calibri (i.e. bold/italic/bold italic, etc.). once you’ve loaded it in, search for it in the photopea font list and select it:
Tumblr media
4. select bold italic
Tumblr media
5. use these properties for the stroke (the outline of the font) and drop shadow (these are the only two elements i add to my fonts):
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is what your text should look like (sorry, it’s all pixelated because i had to zoom in):
Tumblr media
you can adjust the size of the font as necessary and drag the text around to make sure it aligns with the centre of your gif (i’m not actually going to be using text for these gifs, but i wanted to show you because it does add a handful of extra steps)
STEP 6: save your gifs
once you’re done adding your PSDs/manually editing your gifs, you’re going to save them by going file > export as > gif:
Tumblr media
here, you will see a preview of your gif, as well as the MB total in the bottom right hand corner:
Tumblr media
note how our gif went up to 4.8mb from 2.7mb after we originally saved it from gif brewery? that is almost entirely from the sharpening we added to the gif, and that is actually a pretty small increase; typically file size increases are much greater than that if you’ve sharpened your gif, especially with coloured gifs (black and white gifs inherently have smaller file sizes due to the lack of colour).
also note the “speed” bar - sometimes if i feel like my gif is still too fast, i’ll reduce that 100% to 80-90%.
if your file size limit is under 10mb and you’re pleased with your gif, click “save”
STEP 7: upload to tumblr
click photo > upload photos > and add your gifs. now, this is what i meant by the “half-size, side-by-side” gifs:
Tumblr media
now, to add a caption with smaller font and smaller spaces between lines, you need to go into the HTML of your caption, which can be done by clicking the gear icon in the top right corner of your gifset and selecting HTML:
Tumblr media
this is a sample HTML caption code. you can learn the principles of HTML by googling it, or just deducing it from the below:
Tumblr media
and this is what that code looks like:
Tumblr media
you can also add colour to your captions by adding a code into your HTML from this website
STEP 8: click post!
congrats! if you’ve made it to the end of this tutorial, you’ve successfully created a gif for *almost* free. i really do promise that this all becomes really fast and like second nature once you get the hang of it!
please feel free to shoot me a message if you have any questions at all! 🤍
- xoxo, caro, aka pennie

walking on the street and you have scary guard dog privileges
picnic dates where you gaze at the clouds, picking out all of the weird shapes and teasing each other
movie nights would be the most fun thing ever
both of them look at you with the warmest and lovesick eyes whenever you rant about topics you’re passionate about
speaking about passions, powerpoint nights would be a regular thing

sometimes one of you would do something stupid and the other two would have to step in and scold the one who caused trouble like stressed parents lmfao
birthdays would be so cute and sweet with the two of you secretly planning a small celebration while the person in question would have absolutely no idea :(
ganging up on hee to serenade you for like an hour straight because you both love listening to him sing like that
they’d invite you to the studio a lot of the times and you’d be their designated hype man and most of the times, the videos they’d upload would be recorded by you :’)

your phone wallpaper would be a picture of your two bfs being the silliest goofiest funniest two people ever and it would make you smile every time you unlock your phone.
your lock screen is a cute picture of your shared pet :((
god, finally chores wouldn’t be such a hassle to do, because both of them are pretty responsible and helpful.
you’d blast music and get dressed in clothes that you don’t mind getting down and dirty with and by the end of a few fun hours, you’d have a sparkling clean house ;-;
halloweens would be the best time of the year to dress up as iconic trios like powerpuff girls or something haha
both of them would be dragging you by each arm and onlookers would comment on how cute the bunch of best friends looked and then you three would knowingly look at each other, holding back laughs, because oh boy you were much more than just best friends

possessive hee would awaken and wrap an arm around your waist, staring down at the person who wouldn’t take a no for an answer from you smh
as i said, scary guard dog privileges lmao
omg and also per the input of @mosviqu STUDY DATES‼️‼️💔 study dates where you really try your best to concentrate and they try their best to help you, but they'd end up serving as distractions only and you'd get nothing done and then probably fail your test <//3
overall you'd have the best partners in life who'd help you overcome pretty much anything life throws in your face :(

it really does blow my mind how phantoms didn't touch on how bart going missing would WRECK the flashfam. they've lost wally AND joan in the past four years, you can't tell me the possibility of losing bart wouldn't shake them so fucking badly. i know this season didn't focus on bart or the flashfam, but they went over two weeks not knowing if he was ALIVE, and we don't get to see any of it beyond the first few seconds of jay coming back to an empty house? seriously??? i feel cheated
SAME! honestly its ridiculous, like ik that some things go without saying and its a premise that YJ operates on quite a bit (which often I understand) but with Jays involvement in Rockets arc and Barts with the Legion, at least being shown something would've been nice.
Like, I get the impression that Greg and co feel that what they've shown with Jay coming back to an empty house and at the end Dinah revealing (very offhandedly lol) that hes going through mental difficulties speaks volumes to how he would've coped with Bart going missing especially with how they're not “the main characters” of Phantoms, but considering the ridiculously long Bug Love montage (no disrespect to Foragers they're cute but was that incredibly long exposé on their courtship necessary, lets be real, nah lol) or how they dedicated an ENTIRE episode to the Markovia plot which easily couldve been covered as a background thread of headlines throughout the season (without the need of abandoning all of the Halo/Brion/Fury scenes which would've taken up instead what, less than half an episodes worth of screen time instead), then honestly there was easily space for some indication of the mess that would've taken place with the Flash Fam, especially considering their history with YJ. (and whilst we r at it some proper outsiders plot too), so yeah its just wild that they didn't really touch further on the subject. 
If we by some force of nature do manage to get a Season 5, with the indication of Sanctuary plot being explored (a really messed up comics plot of Heroes in Crisis with huge potential but controversial execution largely involving Wally) then a lot of people are theorising that Jay would take on the role as (comic spoilers: skip to next paragraph if u don't wanna read ------------ Wally dying in the event or well something dramatically similar) and then Barry and Bart possibly being on the investigative/involved side of things (comic spoilers: skip to next paragraph if u don't wanna read ------------ turns out it was Wally who murdered a bunch of ppl, Flashpoint time travel stuff etc, u get the gist, though I am doubtful YJ would follow the exact premise, so they would loosely adapt some kind of alternative variation of the plot, especially considering speed force involvement) with the rest of the cast members too. 
Which leads to the premise that maybe they are setting up some kind of Flashfam plot for the next season, but I don't want to be the 100th broken record within the fandom (lol) where ppl theorise this every season lmfao, but who knows theres no harm in speculating/theorising/ coming up with stories. 
Entirely off topic but another way to gauge plots throughout the season is through voice actors, if one of the characters of the voice actors appears in an episode then theres a significantly higher chance their other characters would appear too. If we do manage to get a Season 5 where people think the fight with Apokolips/Darkseid will take a centre stage, then G Gordon Godfrey should appear quite a bit and he has the same voice actor as Flash in Outsiders, which would lead room to him being featured too. So...... who knows lol

CONTINUING THE CONVERSATION from your lovely lovely tags!! @thelovelybitten
#WOW my brain exploded #you see I look at them in depth but this makes so so so much sense #it’s always how do they make each other better that I can never get a grasp on. #and especially looking at this now: I never even considered speech patterns in terms of emotion #like when elsa is upset for example—since she is emotionally anxious how would a (normal? stereotypical.) person respond to these emotions #plus how do you morph the societal normalcy of emotional perception into elsa that makes sense— #at least for her character that feels natural ??? #god ur mind#me sitting here on my phone writing down things I’ll need to explore before doing simple sprints #thank god I’m going to be an English major this might help me with my summer project LMFAO #this was eye opening OP just knows what’s up #MOVING ON LMFAO
SPEECH PATTERNS, SPEECH PATTERNS.
YESSS. 🔥🔥🔥
while i think we all to some degree can recognize that specific speech patterns, dialects, idiosyncracies, word choice, and quirks, etc., etc., are connected to the ways in which we present ourselves (and by extension, how we showcase different aspects of our identities with other people), i think the most formative experiences for me in really digging into this idea were my forays into EPISTOLARY writing:
questionable ; 
by therentyoupay for seevikiifangirl Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling  (Teen And Up Audiences) 2 Oct 2016 | Hermione/fred, epistolary, accidental pen pals
check the pipes for frost ; 
by therentyoupay Fandoms: Frozen (2013), Rise of the Guardians (2012) (Mature) 18 May 2015 | Jelsa, epistolary, accidental pen pals
before writing these fics, i had played around characters texting each other (e.g., korra and tahno in personal record), but check the pipes for frost was totally exploratory and super transformative for me when it came to really leaning into improving my dialogue-only interactions.
the really cool part of writing ctpff was playing with two layers:
PLATFORMS AS (a) CHARACTERIZATION DEVICES AND (b) CONTEXTS/RULE-DRIVEN PLAYGROUNDS:
Tumblr media
first,
jack and elsa's communications take place across multiple platforms. the progression of their burgeoning friendship (and, later, more 👀) is shown first and foremost in the progression of the media they use to actually communicate, which
(a) acts as a narrative device to indicate their growing fluctuating trust levels with one another (accidental postcards → emails → g-chats → facebook → selfies → skype → texting | can you tell that this fic is now a time capsule lmao), and
(2) provides the unique context-specific rules for how they can interact, namely, all of the specific features of digital communication therein, including but not limited to:
the nonverbal cues that are and are not possible with these platform choices (e.g., jack's emoji style is different from elsa's; what happens when elsa uses an emoji in a marked or notable way and how does jack react? 😂);
what kinds of email addresses do they use? (my favorite part is jack dragging bunny for still using hotmail in 2016)
what kinds of phones do they have? (for me elsa has always been iPhone and jack has always been Droid; this affects the way messages are presented and arranged on the screen)
what are their email signatures like? (fun fact: i copy/pasted a real disclaimer end note from my actual dentist for toothiana's professional email, which jack emails by accident lmao)
the immediacy or delay in replying in any of these modes;
the cultural connotations of taking a long time to reply or double-texting or Suddenly Using Punctuation to Indicate that This is A Serious Conversation, or using capital letters to indicate A Thing;
typos;
are they able (or willing) to send photos? gifs? memes? what do these things reveal about their comfort levels, confidence levels, trust levels, senses of humor?
what does someone share about themselves when they send a meme, and what do they expect from their recipient when they share this inside joke, or shared scrap of humor with the other?
WHAT DOES CAPSLOCK MEAN? who uses it? when?
can multiple threads of conversation occur simultaneously (e.g., direct messages/texts) in ways that are not possible in face-to-face conversations?
how do they react to a suggestive freudian slip of a typo?
what does miscommunication look like?
i could go on forever!
p.s. for those of you have read the story and you remember The Letter, well. 💕 YOU KNOW.
Tumblr media
second,
within the contexts, constraints, and flexibilities afforded by these various media platforms, i also played with the following:
how do they write to one another when they are strangers who got each other's addresses by accident?
how do they write to one another when they're seriously contemplating the pros and cons of potentially trying to meet each other in person?
how do you convey degrees of distance/closeness at the word-, sentence, message-, and conversation-levels?
what happens to their typing when they are in the middle of a high-stakes argument?
how do they apologize when the other person cannot see their face?
what kinds of inside jokes can they create in texting or messages or emails that are easier to convey in writing than in speaking verbally in person?
what would they attach or include in their emails?
what would they do/say the first time they opened up skype for the first time to finally talk to one another in real-time?
what kind of conversations can they have (and what kind of turn-taking can they have) when they are writing long-form letters or emails asynchronously vs. synchronously in real-time through instant messaging or texting?
how do they sound if they accidentally send each other a message that was meant for someone else?
And then, of course, you get into the other factors that can influence speech patterns on a more foundational level (e.g., background, education, personality, manners) and...
a more temporary, local level (e.g., mood, comfort level, time of day. 😂 social battery. patience level.). and so on!!
the fic is here, if anyone wants to check it out: check the pipes for frost
TL;DR → if you want to really explore and play around with dialogue and speech patterns as characterization devices, i highly highly recommend trying out some EPISTOLARY works!!!! 💕 have fun!!

PART 2 | OVERVIEW: the tl;dr of personality + dialogue choices
(this was written super fast so tell me if i missed stuff)
for elsa, i look to create and explore moments that highlight her journey from fear to self-acceptance. i focus on her struggles with control, her deep sense of responsibility, and her moments of quiet reflection (or LOUD, powerful, FREEDOM). when writing her personality, i try to capture the sometimes contradictory variables of her reserved nature, her inner strength, her desire for freedom, and the way she often internalizes (suppresses, ignores, fights, hides) her emotions. i also pay attention to how she interacts with others, particularly the contrast between her public demeanor and the more intimate, personal side that she rarely shows. 
in terms of register, she adopts a more formal tone, more precise diction, slightly more advanced vocabulary. readers have described my elsa as generally varying degrees of:
“regal,”
“proper,”
“classy,”
“measured,”
“analytical,”
“thoughtful,”
“astute,”
“clever,”
“intelligent,”
“responsible,”
“introspective,”
“dignified,”
“determined,”
“guarded,”
“reserved,”
“funny,” and
“(deeply) passionate,”
although to suggest that she’s only those things would be to do her a disservice (we are all messy, sometimes!),
so it’s all about balance and context. (re: passionate: please remember that there is a physical and metaphorical storm inside of her. <3 )
for jack, i’m drawn to the contrast between his outwardly playful, carefree persona (his center, rooted in his pain and his inherent optimism and resilience born from trauma and perseverance and survival) and the deeper, more complex emotions he hides (ignores, neglects, doesn’t understand) beneath the surface. i look to emphasize moments that show his loneliness, his sense of duty (especially when it ties to his need to belong, to be loved or WORTHY of being loved, his feeling that if he does not do something for someone/if he is not useful then he will be abandoned), and the way he uses humor to create light, deflect from his pain, bring joy to others, and cope with what he’s lost. when writing his dialogue, i focus on capturing his wit, his tendency to tease, and the occasional glimpses of his more serious, reflective side. i also think about how his interactions with elsa differ from his interactions with others, showing the unique bond they share. 
when i write jack, it’s not as punny as chat from miraculous ladybug… i love it when his humor (and elsa’s!) is sharp and clever and fast. i love when he uses self-deprecating humor (but it’s usually layered; he’s saying it lightly but he means it heavily, and the humor and dry tone and the carefree word choice has a lot about ‘hiding in plain sight’, sometimes, i think). readers have described my vision of jack as,
“playful,”
“protective,”
“witty,”
“optimistic,”
“clever,”
“insecure,”
“smitten,”
“hilarious,”
“tender,”
“supportive,”
“impatient,”
“selfish(/selfless, depending),”
occasionally “possessive” (especially re: fear of abandonment/rejection/loss),
“covetous,”
“jealous,” “envious,”
“tenacious,” and,
in his own way, “guarded,” too.
in their dialogue, i aim for a mix of lightness and depth. jack might generally bring a playful tone to the conversation, but elsa can absolutely be light and playful, too, depeneding on where they are at in their journeys. 
elsa’s responses are often measured, thoughtful, and occasionally tinged with uncertainty or hesitation, reflecting her internal struggles and her cautious approach to new emotions. the dialogue between them often becomes a dance of words, where what’s left unsaid is just as important as what is spoken.
both of them speak highly respectfully to one another but (we are all human) can also occasionally lash out; one of the natural byproducts of getting to know someone so well is that you also create an arsenal of all the most effective ways to (intentionally, or perhaps not) hurt them. 
(at the center readers…. you know. 🥹  please please please no spoilers. 💕🙏)
OVERALL, THEIR DYNAMIC (DEPENDING ON ANGST/WHUMP/FLUFF/DRAMA LEVELS):
what fascinates me most about elsa and jack is the way they mirror each other. 
ISOLATION: both of them are, in their own ways, defined by isolation���elsa by her fear of hurting others, and jack by his literal invisibility to the world. 
IT IS ABOUT THE YEARNING: they both yearn for connection, for someone who sees them for who they truly are, yet they’re afraid of the vulnerability that comes with that. in my mind, their interactions are usually charged with this tension, a push and pull between wanting to get closer and fearing the consequences of doing so.
WHAT IS LEFT UNSPOKEN (UNTIL IT IS NOT 👀): when i write them together, i’m constantly aware of the unspoken emotions that simmer beneath the surface—the trust that’s slowly building, the attraction that both excites and terrifies them, and the fear of what it would mean to truly let someone in. there’s a kind of quiet longing in their relationship, a recognition of kindred spirits who have found each other in the midst of chaos. (pining. SO MUCH PINING.)
JOURNEYS: elsa’s journey is one of self-discovery, of learning to embrace her powers and her emotions rather than fear them. jack’s journey is about finding his place in a world that has long forgotten him, about understanding that he’s worthy of love and connection—and not just for the contributions that he makes to the Guardians, to the world, to the children, to nature. Just him. 
GROWTH: together, they challenge each other, push each other to grow, and in doing so, they start to heal the wounds that have defined them for so long. (well. at least when things go well. 👀 I HAVE ALSO BEEN KNOWN TO DABBLE IN ANGST.)
MUTUAL DEPENDENCE AND TRUST: both characters are strong (physically mentally emotionally) (and weak) in their own right, but they eventually come to realize that they are stronger together.
DEFINED BY SACRIFICES (*coughSISTERScough*): sacrifice is a recurring theme in their individual journeys and their burgeoning relationship (in any universe). both elsa and jack are a times willing to sacrifice their own well-being for the other—sometimes to their own detriment. jack’s determination to keep elsa safe, even at the cost of his own life/happiness/feelings, and elsa’s willingness to push herself beyond her limits to protect jack/keep jack/keep jack but also keep him away. however, this selflessness also creates a barrier between them, as they are both reluctant to fully admit their feelings (are afraid of being selfish, or of being perceived as selfish), fearing that doing so would be a distraction from their mission/duties/responsibilities, or a weakness they cannot afford (UNTIL THEY CAVE AND THE TENSION BREAKS AND THEY GIVE IN AT LONG LAST).
tl;dr
elsa and jack are two deeply complex characters, each carrying the weight of their pasts, their powers, and their responsibilities. their relationship is marked by a delicate balance of strength and vulnerability, trust and fear, duty and desire. 
as they navigate the dangers (emotional, physical) around them, they also grapple with their growing feelings for one another, feelings that challenge their perceptions of themselves and their place in the world. 
together, they form a powerful yet fragile bond, one that is constantly tested by the forces, pressures, and expectations around them and their own internal struggles. 
i love writing this story in so many (33 and counting?? universes) because their story is one of mutual growth, as they each learn to embrace their vulnerabilities and find strength in their connection.
🥹💕🙏
