Your Sky: It Seems I Wanted a 2gether Retread

I watched this on a whim yesterday evening and enjoyed it immensely. Not to be the Boss Baby tweet, but I enjoyed how this show set up some of the same parameters as 2gether without making key characters unlikable, or relying on mean humor.

Right off the bat they calibrated the Teerak character well. He's essentially an adorable younger brother all the time. He's clearly coddled, and requires a lot of supervision. However, they made sure to confirm that he's actually an extremely kind character, and that most of his adventures result from him maybe going too far to complete an act of kindness. This character has real potential to be annoying, and they're doing a great job with the line.

Additionally, they've given Teerak a great supporting cast around him. I liked the teamwork dynamics between Lee, Joy, and Type. I liked seeing them fulfill different roles in the group, and I'm excited to get to know them more. Teerak's relationship with Babe is also compelling; I'm excited to see what we get from a caring big sister. I especially loved their meeting the laundromat owner. I hope we see more of her, and that they continue the trend of introducing every new character with a beauty zoom.

Thomas Teetut is also doing a great job with Muenfah. He's playing this character so differently from Gun in The Middleman's Love that I didn't even recognize him right away.

Unlike with Sarawat (2gether), they didn't withhold this character's affection for Teerak for multiple episodes. Like Sarawat, they've gone for cool, aloof, and disinterested in women. I'm curious to learn how long he's had this crush, why he hasn't said anything about it, and why his brother (Lee) is keeping the confidence about it.

I also want to know whose ass he kicked years ago that created this reputation about him being leader of a gang. It's intriguing because we watched multiple people running interference on Oh's pursuit of Teerak. I was wondering at first if Teerak needed to properly reject this man, but based on Oh stealing the outdoor reservation at this restaurant, drugging Teerak's friends, and trying to fight Muenfah, I really don't like this man. They did a great job building to the reveal that Oh ain't shit. They made me feel bad for a Mike character at first, and then validated why I instinctively do not like that man's characters.

I really like the impetus for the fake dating in this one. I like that Muenfah pulled Teerak out of a dangerous situation, and also that a drunk Teerak created a major misunderstanding online from people stalking (please stop filming people in public). It's so much better than we know Muenfah has feelings for Teerak already, and has been protective of him. I'm excited to see how Teerak grows into a shared affection, and how the veneer of fake dating complicates the development of their feelings.

Also, this show is beautiful. Sarawut Chuparkpanich shows always look great. However, every single person linked on the crew has been part of projects that I think showed real potential before flopping badly before even the midpoint. I don't want to get my hopes up too much because of the track record, but damn did I really like this first episode. This is the most engaged with initial characterization I've been with a Thai BL in months, so I hope this one works out. I am still fond of 2gether, despite the missteps of that show, so I'd like to have a better version of it.

I'll pick this up as a regular watch and check in after a few weeks to let you know how I'm feeling about it. Thank you to the gifmakers!

True Beauty: Kang Sujin character reconstruction

They did out bestie so dirty in this drama, it's time to clean up writer's mess. I don't think Sujin ever deserved such overkill. Turning her into a villain way after the opportunity window closed was so pathetic. Massacring this heroine in such a cliché way calls for serious damage repair, so let's goooo.

Disclaimer: I'm not a writer and this is my first fic ever. English is not my first language, sorry for eventual mistakes. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it.♡ the story sounds better in my head but what can we do Thanks @youlookprettywithoutmakeup for sending in a request for Seojun x Sujin content. Also a big thank you to the gifmakers who blessed us all with this inspirational seojun x sujin perfection!

TW: angst, losing friends, mentions of bullying, verbal violence and family abuse

Seojun x Sujin angst

After Sujin moved to the States, the real truth behind that bullying video came out. It was never Sujin's doing, but she left all her friends believe what they wanted. Her life was pretty much crumbling down from the abuse back home and her parents' divorce lawsuit. It felt like the whole world turned its back on her. The final blow was when Seojun accused her of posting that bullying video of Jukyung. Then Jukyung facing her about it, too. Being the only one who's always had her friends' backs, she was hurting more than ever.

- Fine, Seojun, let it be me. Does it even matter? I'm the bad guy. Nobody trusts me. Not even you. I could bend over backwards defending myself for something I never did and it won't change a single thing.

- Something you never did? Get over yourself, Sujin. I know how you feel about Suho.

- Wait, do you seriously think I'd do something as disgusting as that because of a guy?

Seojun smirked hearing those words, shaking his head in disbelief.

- And since when do you think I have feelings for Suho??? Don't you know me?

- Obviously I don't.

They stood there, staring at each other in silence. Sujin's heart was breaking into a million pieces, but she wasn't showing any emotion. Seojun was cruel, even if he didn't mean to be this way. His constant hot and cold behavior towards Sujin confused her, but after he started showing interest in Jukyung, she gave up on him.

-Sujin, I went to Yongpa High, none of those girls knew a thing about the video.

- Wow, congrats! You must be proud of yourself. Trusting Jukyung's bullies... Seriously?! Like you don't know their queen bully is into you.

- Just like you're into Suho. I saw you two hugging.

- You saw that?!

- Yes! I did!

- Then you saw me crying like an idiot too. Great.

- Wait... What?

- I quit the music academy, okay?

- Are you crazy? Why would you do that?

Seojun stood there, his eyes wide in confusion. He couldn't believe his ears. How could she not tell him any of this sooner? After all they've been through. After all those moments she helped him get over their friend's death. Weren't they close enough now, why wouldn't she confide in him?

- You don't know everything, so don't act so smart. Besides, Suho isn't even my type, you pabo. He just saw me crying at the staircase.

- Then explain one thing.

All she could think about was how did she end up in this mess. Now all of a sudden he wants to talk to her? And he's acting all innocent about it.

- I have nothing to say to you, Seojun. Even your lousy accusations can't touch me. If anyone ever did anything bad then it's you chasing a taken girl.

- I wasn-

- Let me know when you stop projecting your problems on others.

- No, you got it all wrong, I don't have feelings for Ju-

- Stop it. I'm tired of this. I don't even care anymore.

He looked at her in silence, heart hurting as well. He couldn't admit his feelings to her like this, not now. He knew he did so many stupid things to catch her attention, but he didn't think it would backfire like this. He also knew something wrong was going on, but her stare was hurting him. He couldn't read her face at all. She looked cold. Serious. He felt like her eyes were literally piercing him.

- I did it. Okay, Seojun? I did all of it. Go spread the word. Oh wait, you did that already.

Frustrated and disappointed, she confirmed the rumors. She didn't want to fight back anymore. It was the first time in her life she considered giving up for a change. Like it mattered, she'd be moving to the States soon. She has already lost everything and everybody she hold dear. This was the last time two of them talked before she left Seoul.

She never told Seojun about her father beating her, she was ashamed of that. She also never told him her father was against her attending the music academy, she was scared that if she ever started talking about it she'd end up telling him everything. Suho was the only one who knew about her family situation, but only because he saw her bruises one time and asked her about it. He promised to keep her secret and she never confined in him again after that. All three of them have been friends since early childhood and she didn't want to do something that might push either of them away.

Sujin was always an artistic soul. She was great at pretty much everything once she set her mind to it. Her singing skills were always advanced, even before she started classes at the music academy. She outperformed almost all of her seniors. No matter the talent, she had to quit singing. Father's orders.

"Singing won't get you to medical school, you're only worth as much as your grades, don't show up home until you come to your senses and quit that idiotic nonsense of yours."

So she quit at the time only to save herself from unnecessary pain. She was done with covering her face full of makeup for school and popping painkillers like candy. It was much easier to quit, at least until her mom got them both out of that mess finally.

Her mom managed to get a divorce eventually. She swore she'd take care of her daughter properly this time, so winning the lawsuit against Sujin's father played a crucial role this time. And she won, which left her with their huge family mansion worth billions of dollars. Sujin's father got a restraining order from court, and after the lawsuit they never heard from him again. Her mom sold everything and they both moved to the States, where Sujin enrolled in music academy once more. Their life was pretty much comfortable, but they've always stayed humble.

Sujin knew she had to go back to visit her friends at Seoul at some point, especially since she was getting so many texts and calls from her two ex besties ever since she left. News on what actually happened and who was behind the video incident spread like fire and cleared all guilt off Sujin. Yet she couldn't get over the fact that all of her friends judged her so quickly. Sooah disappointed her a lot, she never backed her up, not even once. While Jukyung surprised her more than anyone. She was the only one who never believed Sujin did anything wrong, not even when Sujin directly told her it is her doing.

Even though she wanted to spend hours on the phone with Jukyung, and let her know about everything what happened, cutting everyone off seemed rational for the time being. Everything was still too painful for her and she needed more time to heal from the chaos. Falling into unhealthy patterns was no longer an option. Sujin's habits have changed drastically ever since she moved to the States. Volunteering as a math tutor and martial arts teacher was all she did when she wasn't studying. Her taekwondo classes took place in the early mornings, and math classes in the evenings. Slowly, it got her thoughts back in order.

It wasn't until Seojun texted her a whole month after moving that she felt that pit in her stomach again.

Seojun: I'm sorryx Sujong I shoudlvew known

- What's with this pabo? Ah, he's drunk again.

Sujin: Hey Seojun, I hope you're good. I know you've sent me that txt accidentally. Stay well and take care. Don't drink and ride that Ninja of yours, ok?

A few days passed until he finally responded back.

Seojun: Where r u, I need 2cu. Sujin: I'm out of the country, actually. Let's catch up over a video call one of these days, ok? Seojun: Naah, txt me whn u get back :P

She wanted nothing more than to talk to him, to hear his voice. She needed him to be there for her, just like she used to be there for him long ago. If going back there was ever an option, she needed to get better fist, on her own. Thoughts of being back in the city where it all went downhill made her extremely uncomfortable. Besides, her feelings for Seojun confused her, it was too much all at once. This time, she decided to let him go for good. Maybe next time their paths cross, things turn out different.

You have been such a trooper keeping the MYATB tag going and us fed, but please don't burn yourself out! Thank you so much for all the gifs and posts and general info. You're a blessing!

thank you so much bun 🥺 i value your words greatly and knowing you like the stuff i put on here means everything

the thingie is i already burned myself out, i'm just squeezing energy out of sheer air and from the joy i get in my nightly rewatches of myatb. and hope that maybe i still can show a few more new people the beauty that myatb is, because i swear existence of a show like this was my biggest dreams for over 4 years and i need to pay it back. but mostly i just physically cannot stop because i have more ideas that i must finish on my list, my ocd won't set me free until i cross out all of them

i'm going to continue under the cut because last month turned me bitter and i don't want to ruin anyone's mood even a bit

it would honestly be much easier if the whole experience was less of a lonely and stressful one, from the beginning where there were zero people but me in the tag before premiere, with some rare exceptions, to the airing process where there were so few gifmakers, artists and posters and i saw my own url in 90% of the tag space on all days except wednesday and thursday. and knowing all the shit the went down every week in chinese spaces didn't help either, the shit people put the team and actors and especially the beautiful producer through was insane and so rough

the giffing was pure hell because i went from going to my brothers apartment to do it on his computer with the monitor being half working (literally top half was pixelated to hell), to monitor crashing, to then his gf's monitor breaking, to having to gif on a motherfucking tv, to his computer dying completely and me giffing on a 10 year old slow laptop that heated up to the point of burning my fingertips off, i'm not exaggerating whatsoever. and they dropped 2 episodes per week which made it so much more brainmelting and with tighter time limits

to now, when people just left as they always do when a show stops airing. it's all "i will miss it" on the finale day, but never actual going in the tag a week later and enjoying new stuff that remaining people made or posting your own thought or two. i hate the fast consumption of television and cinema these years i truly despise it. so spending time on stuff and barely anyone caring to look at it kills me from inside and makes it so so so much worse

i'm very tired sorry for this sweetheart sorry very frustrated these days fr but i will get myself out of this

[kimtaegis]

@khaotungthanawat: saaaam! your gifs are always a beauty to behold. i admire you so much for making those bl compilation gifsets because that takes so much patience and dedication, especially to find all the moments. i can always count on you for underrated gifsets, too, and i smile every time you send me an ask!

@emisfritish: your wisdom and way of expressing your thoughts will never fail to amaze me, emma. i can always count on you for calling things like they are and writing out well-worded, thought-provoking posts that express everything i have ever thought about fandom but could never quite write down. it’s such a pleasure seeing you on my dash and honestly, whenever i see tay, he reminds me of you!

@earthfluuke: maddie... where do i even start. getting to know you this year means the absolute world to me and i love how many thoughts we can share together and how many aus and ideas we can plot out to the finest detail, but i also love how we can talk about serious topics and irl issues affecting us both and know that the other person will be there. i admire you so much for going on and persevering despite the many difficult factors in your life right now. know that i will always be there - to listen to you, to support your gifs and fics, to develop characters with you, to weigh in on problems or ideas you have. i love you!

@asianmelodrama: faiza!! i can never address you without immediately adding ‘jaan’ after it honestly. you are a sister to me in all things and knowing you has been such an honour. your wise words, your calmness in dealing with things, your infectious excitement - they are all facets of your personality that i both admire and adore. whether it’s getting angry about shitty muslim rep or freaking out about a movie, i know that i can always count on you to be there for me if i ever need it. i hope light and love touches your life always, and you find peace in everything you do. if i ever happen to be in england, i am definitely coming over for your chai :’) i love you!

@yioh: yura my laddoo! i say this all the time, but i simply am so grateful that we met. i love seeing your tags on my posts and i just... adore seeing you doing your thing on your blog, your posts always make me smile. i know school is hard right now, but know that i’m always rooting for you and believe in you completely. words cannot express how happy i am to have found another tamil lgbt person who can understand the same experiences, it really does mean everything to me. and know that i will begin reading tyk soon, i promise, and i’ll tell you all about my thoughts! i love youuu!

@1akorn: shannon!! i still cannot believe people group us together because i’ve always admired you from a distance - imagine my absolute surprise when i found out that you followed me! i 100% rely on you for the good mek content and love your gifs so much. you’re so articulate and speak your thoughts incredibly well, which i truly admire.

@brightwin: jelly - you already know the amount of love and fondness i hold for you. you’re such a kind and bubbly person and your personality shines not only through your tags and responses to people, but also through your gorgeous gifsets that are just so warm and lovely. i can always rely on you to give me updates on all things related to brightwin and 2gether. you’re wonderful!

@yibobibo: aamna! i know i can always get my yibo content from you, and i adore it. i love seeing updates about your bunnies and your kind responses to your anons, you truly are a ray of light! you’re also one of the fairly concentrated cql blogs i follow - and for that i am always grateful.

@metawwin: ali! your gorgeous gifs are always such a light on my dash. i remember once you called me ‘rahulito’ and it made me so soft. your voice and songs are so lovely and i don’t even know where to begin thanking you for sharing your art with us. i know it means a lot to me, and it means the same to many others.

@taytawan: nuriaaa! i remember seeing you so often in the petekao tag and i gotta say that your sets of both petekao and sarawatine, especially the heart eyes series, always make me so soft. and of course, the fact that you gifted me this wonderful url! i will always be thankful for that and for your general kindness and warmth that you bestow upon everyone.

@piningbisexuals: axelle! although we don’t talk that much, i always love seeing your gifs and your thoughts on shows on the dash. i’m wishing you all the best with your thai classes and hope that everything goes well with you! also, you should know that i read that manboss fic you gifted to me at least once a week because it just means that much to me - and i’m so glad i got you into this little silly ship of mine. 

@sunsetchimyeon: nene, my pk anon! i love seeing your asks in my inbox and writing essays as replies. having conversations with you was one of my absolute highlights and i’ll always be blown away by how kind and calm and supportive and patient you are! i hope life is treating you well, my friend.

@toptaps: zey!! oh i love seeing your gifs and kindness on my dash and know that whenever i see toptap in anything, he always reminds me of you! also your gifs of sammy? absolutely gorgeous!

@giftedgays: i love you all SO much it is truly insane. being part of our tumblr gc that evolved into a discord server with a thousand channels has been one of my 2020 highlights. i loved yelling with you all about tgg every week and i must thank you all for sitting through my chanonpom breakdowns every second day. 

in particular: 

@pangwave - dawnie, i love you! i admire you and your no bullshit attitude so much. i know you’re going through a process of change right now, and i could not be prouder of you for persevering through it, regardless of the painful and strange circumstances we find ourselves in. i have full faith in you, and i know that you got this. we’re all here for you! 

@doctorbahnjit: - alexa! i still remember when you wrote the first manboss fic and an anon sent me a link regarding it. you are genuinely one of the funniest people i know and you deserve the absolute world. i read out of the blue every day, no kidding, because it means so much to me! thank you for being my fellow chanonpomer, my fellow manboss-er, and just being an all around ray of absolute sunshine.

@gunatps: vee! i have already embarrassed myself enough in my post to you but it’s worth repeating. i adore our eden chanonpom breakdown sessions, which we should have again soon when you have time, and i love us roasting modi in the chat, it truly cracks me up! we have so much in common and i just want to say that i am so proud of you for studying and taking your exams - i know how difficult they are. 

@wavelovespang: cass!! how i adore your analyses and breakdowns of scenes and relationships, you have so much insight and wisdom that you spread in such thoughtful ways! you’re so supportive and kind and such a great teacher, i know that. your writing is so wonderful and i’m truly so honoured that we all get to read it, it’s a gift!

@class2clown: angel! i cannot say this enough but i admire your art so much, it’s so so beautiful! you’ve always been so kind and lovely, and just like with cass, thank you so much for organising the gifted week events! although i couldn’t properly partake this year because of time constraints, i loved seeing everyone’s creations and it was super thoughtful.

@soulmatelines: i’ve said this before, jo, but it must be said again: i cannot believe you thought i was cool. i’ve always adored your gifs from afar and you’re such a sweet person! i love love love talking with you in the kpop channel (even if you personally hate 3racha smh), and you truly do bear the novel agenda! i’ve learned about so many more novels i must read and for that i am so grateful :’) 

@billkinpp: violet, i will never fail to crack up at a) your and kylie’s plans to run away and get married, and b) you having a thousand sideblogs and complimenting yourself on your own gifs in the tags, as you absolutely should! i hope the next year is kind to you and that your sleep schedule isn’t too fucked up :’)

@vihokratanas: mel, i will always be in complete awe of your gifs! they are always so clean and crisp. i remember still when you were fondestphan and my phannie days flashed in front of my eyes fhsnfg but either way, you’re so kind and sweet! 

@pvrrish: eleni!! i don’t think i’ve ever told you this before but i’ve always loved the 2gether poster that you made, i sometimes go on your blog to look at it for like 5 minutes, it’s truly so beautiful! i hope you’ve had an okay year, all things considered, and that life is kind to you!

@lee-thanat: another leesbian, ke! y’all always crack me up in the lesbians for lee thanat channel truly. your simping for ms ladda is so valid, i miss her so much honestly. i hope that the coming year is kind to you, and that you find the peace you deserve!

okay, so i think that’s everyone that i either talk to regularly or admire a lot! in case i didn’t mention you, please please feel free to reach out to me because i mean no offense at all - my brain is small haha. would also like to shout out all my anons who send me asks and bear with my late responses these days because of life, i adore you all and i love answering your asks.

if you’re still reading after this... whole monster of a post, i’m just gonna quickly mention some things i’ve been proud of either writing or making this year. in no particular order:

1. my weary heart has come to rest in yours. this is a fic i wrote in an... interesting headspace, and i was really going through my chanonpom feelings at the time. i’m really proud of how it came out and i adored writing chanon through pom’s pov. also i kinda love how i tied in p’bird’s song prip dtah in with the fic because i adore the song and it fits so well with them.

2. petekao week 2020. i guess this is sort of cheating, because these are technically 7 fics, BUT. i am actually proud of myself for writing seven, and i think they’re all of fairly good quality. i just really love this little universe i created for the dbk characters after the show and this whole week was just so warm and lovely to be a part of.

3. this set of num and prang from a gift for whom you hate. this moment really stuck with me from the finale and i actually am really proud of the colouring and how it came out! i think the blues really popped and i managed to lighten this dark ass scene without whitewashing mek or aye. the fireworks gif also is one of my favourites i’ve made! num and prang’s whole relationship was so pure throughout the entirety of this show, i adored them. 

4. but love is impossible and it goes on despite the impossible. this is the longest fic i’ve posted so far and i’m super proud of it - it’s also my most well-received fic. the yunmeng brothers mean the world to me and i just... wanted to write about jiang cheng and his love for his brother and give them a somewhat happy ending, in one future at least.

5. there’s an art to honesty. i think i really nailed my version of kao in this work! i just really loved writing this fic so much, especially because it was right after the whole ‘scandal’ with new happened. i was really just finding a way to separate kao from him, and i delved into my feelings with this fic as well, because i relate to kao in multiple ways. either way, i thought writing this fic was fun and a lot of people loved it too, which made me so soft!

if you’ve read this far, i personally adore you! while this has been a difficult year, i am blessed to have been part of this loving community, and i really hope that next year will be kinder to us all and give us good shows and discussions! i love you all. stay safe and stay kind, friends 💛

What is your favorite p&p film adaptation?

Oh, hands down the 2005 Joe Wright. It is not only my fave p & p but one of my favorite movies of ever. It's my comfort film. My rainy day, lazy weekend, plane/train go-to, emotional retreat after an anxiety attack comfort film. I wore out the DVD I bought of it from the $5 bin at walmart in high school.

And I know, it's not the most "textually accurate," etc., but the older I get, the less I care about that in the book-to-movie adaptation, as long as the heart of the story, the soul of it is still present, and I think Wright's does that. And aesthetically, it's gorgeously shot (see literally any gifmakers blog on this sight), and I like how...grungy the Bennets are? in comparision to the obvious Baroque Regency luxury around them, you can see the economic difference right from the onset.

And of course, the performances! the cast! the whole cast is spectacular. and, because I'm me, the score has a lot to do with it too. the "Your Hands Are Cold," track on the soundtrack? I MEAN it's just so gorgeous, it starts with this anxious movement that's also there from Lydia's elopement, so it's Lizzie's turmoil, then over her sister, now over Darcy. And then there's the reprise of the "Lizzie on Top of the World" theme which is this exquisite cascade of piano and low strings when she sees Darcy walking towards her, like, we feel her elation in it, and then when they talk everything just...settles. and there's this moment in the orchestra where everything goes quiet but for the (I think it's clarinet???) drops this beautiful note that starts small, and just swells, and then it's followed by the rest of the orchestra underneath it and it LITERALLY sounds like dawn breaking over the horizon and your beloved's forehead resting against yours and being at peace because your love is requited and AHHHHHHHH. I linked it above because...yeah. The score for me just hits all my romantic classical buttons, while also nodding to the music of the period (without being a total yawn. I'm not a Baroque or Classical fan. sorry. it's the opera snob in me.)

but of course, the 1995 series is super important. We wouldn't have Knightley's Lizzie without Ehle's, or McFayden's Darcy without Firth's (Colin Firth really is the Darcy blueprint tbh). And I will forever have a soft spot in my heart for The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, and Ashley Clements and Daniel Vincent Gordh's performances (and Mary Kate Wiles. LBD said "Lydia Bennet Rights" and that is SO valid of them). but those are series, so by nature I've watched them less, because there's more content in them, so when I want to lose myself in my favorite bedtime story, 2005 is where it's at.

my holy trinity of classic lit adaptations of my heart is: Pride & Prejudice 2005, Emma 2020, and Little Women 2019

I tag: @arag0ns​ and whoever else wants to! If you are reading this, I mean You.

Post a picture or a gif (preferably from tumblr's gif feature or with credit to the gifmaker) of:

Your favorite character

Your favorite friendship

Your favorite ship

Your favorite sect

Your favorite sword

And then tag your favorite people in the mdzs/The untamed fandom so they can join in.

My favorite Character

Xiao Xingchen!! I recently bought two bookmarks of him, and am honestly debating getting a Xingchen cosplay or learning how to sew so I can make one. He’s kind and loving and Song Jiyang plays him so well that it makes fucking /sense/ that Xiao Xingchen is the Bright Moon and Gentle Breeze like. take me on a walk and talk about the stars my love

My favorite Friendship

The Hijinks. the different brands of chaos. Huisang teaming up against whoever is easier (and more fun) to bully at the moment. Theyre all supposed to be respectable teens in high positions but their time in Gusu highlights that they are TEENS who are having FUN

My Favorite Ship

im fucking sobbing. SongXiao are truly just the epitome of what a soulmate could be, of what it means to be KNOWN. I think about them every fcuing day to the point where I almost forgot everyone else in canon exists. They are a poem together and their time on screen is so carefully taken care of? their contrasting robes together and the muted greys of them both separate? FUCk

My favorite Sect

the Nies. cmon thicc swords, legal demonic cultivation, the dedication that these two inspire in their respective ruling times despite their different methods, the green/yellow in the other adaptations?? The black and silver swirls on Huisang’s sleeves? They’re on a fuckin mountain?? Mingjue adopts me?? whats there NOT to like cmon

My favorite Sword 

kinda unoriginal but Bichen! I am a big fuckin lover of blades and if I had the Angst Tolerance I would’ve rewatched all of the Untamed just to look at all the swords, but I happen to have a screenshot of Bichen’s details from when I first joined the fandom. The competition was Wen Zhuliu’s sword, Shanghua (Xiao Xingchen’s) and Suiban (Wei Wuxian’s) but lets focus on Bichen for a moment here cause FIRSTLY. Shes a sleek white case and handle- but the silver plating on it resembles the clouds of Gusu Lan which, duh, but not only looks Beautiful but also pushes towards that idea of Wangji being so defined by home, by being a Lan, yknow?

I uh. really love the untamed. especially SongXiao as a dynamic and concept and I really could go on. but i will spare your dashes!!

CREATOR TAG MEME

tagged by the lovely @andyoudoctor, thank you Myra!!

rules: it’s time to love yourselves! choose your 5 (ish) favorite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought into the world in 2020. tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works!

It has been a very slow year for this main blog of mine, mainly because I got back into the Umbrella Academy in March, opened a sideblog for it and most of my creative output was on there. I still managed to scrape together five gifsets that I love for this year, and here they are!

1. Aziraphale being cute and adorable

I legit think I peaked in gifmaking with the very first gifset of the year. I made this late in 2019 but kept it to be my first post of the decade, excitedly (what different times it was!). This really was a gifset I’d been thinking of making since first watching Good Omens, because I just adore Michael Sheen’s performance and the very unique charm he brings to the character. He is so charismatic and sweet, and I wanted to capture that in a gifset. I really love the colouring on it with its soft pinks and beiges. It still makes me smile every time I look at it.

2. Let’s Dance: Best of Moritz & Renata Dances

I think this one is my ultimate manifesto as a gifmaker, because it is purely a labour of love. I knew this was not going to get any notes, because there is no fandom on Tumblr for this show. Making gifs of these two made me find the one person on this site who loves them, and that’s enough. This gifset now stands at exactly 3 notes. There are over a hundred frames for all gifs but one. The colouring is some of the most beautiful I’ve ever done. And it was all made for me, because I love this so much that I wanted to spend creative energy on them. And sometimes that’s all that matters.

3. Select Marvel Characters I Love

I have fallen out of love with Marvel, especially the MCU. I just don’t care about the overabundance of interconnected content, it is tiring and repetitive and just not for me anymore. But there are still characters from Marvel that I adore and have adored for a very long time, and so when I got a make me choose ask to pick between Marvel and DC, I picked Marvel, because Marvel has Nightcrawler. And also some other characters I really love, some select shows and movies and comics I still can come back to, like X-Men Evolution, X2 or Thor:Ragnarok, and Noto’s Black Widow or Fraction’s Hawkeye. And I made this really pretty black and white gifset with the characters I love in the iterations I love them in, and I still like it a lot.

4. Orla for Maria

Is it a cheat if it’s something I finished today? But I am very proud of this gifset I made for my dearest friend on this site, the lovely Maria. I always edit something for her birthday because I’ve been doing it for so long, and it always makes me happy to make something nice for someone else. I also just think the colouring on this gifset turned out so much prettier than I thought it was going to, so I’m very happy with it. And Orla is just so cute in these moments, it’s a good gifset.

5. Vanya in Blue

This is the first colour gifset I made for the Umbrella Academy, after the black and white gifset that unfortunately made me very quickly aware of the existence of F*veya. I like this one so much more. For the first time trying to colour this show, I think it holds up so well. I really love the blues I worked with, the moments I picked, and just Vanya in general. There are gifsets I like more on my TUA sideblog, and I will do this list for the creations there too, but this gifset? I’m still very proud of it.

Most creators I know have already done this one, so if you’ve done this already, feel free to ignore this: @evakant, @princess-marida, @bosemanchadwick @knifeears

milestone follow forever (1/2)

Wow, another milestone reached. This blog has been a huge part of my life for the last 8 months, I’ve met and become friends with so many incredible people who I don’t want to miss ever again. With the help of BTS, this blog and all of you, I rediscovered passion and creativity and found a community that I adore and admire dearly. I am forever grateful for you, so this little (or not so little) follow forever is me saying thank you to all of you, I love you!

I’d like to start with some honourable mentions; people who have a very special place in my heart, who make all of my days better, and who I love endlessly.

@jimimon: Al, my friend from the stars. What I’m gonna say is nothing new to you by now, but god, I love you. You’ve really become one of my closest friends over the last few months, you know? Talking to you is part of my everyday life, I trust you with all my heart, you comfort me and you laugh with me, you cook for me and watch amazing shows with me. You bless me and everyone else with your incredible edits, smart text posts and loveliest asks. I could write much more, I hope you know that, but for now: I love you, you love me, we love each other, J-HOOOOOPE!!! 💚

@yoobijin: My beautiful, stunning, lovely soulmate. Réka I wish I could one day return all the love you give me back to you. I don’t know how your big heart fits into your body, that actually can’t be possible. You are stunning, so extremely talented in so many ways, funny and warm-hearted, positive and supportive. I’d just like to give you a real hug one day, to at least try to show you how much I adore you, how much you mean to me. You brighten up my day by just being you, and I want you to be happy always. I love you so damn much 💙💙💙

@jinsmin: My little birdie Gracie, while writing this down I just received another bird-ask from you, which is too funny and too cute at the same time. I cherish every single one of our interactions, you never cease to make me feel more light-hearted and at ease. Often I ask myself if you can sense when I could need some uplifting words or a tit pic or two (hihi). No, but on a more serious note, Gracie you are one of the kindest and sweetest people I know, and I’m so grateful that you share your positivity with me, you are my little personal ray of sunshine, and I love you infinitely. 💛

@marvelousbangtan and @artsyjoons: You two are real double trouble. Well, if trouble would be defined as the loveliest, sweetest human beings there are. My sunshine and my sunflower, the warmth and love you radiate always keep me comforted, feeling calmed and happier. There’s nothing more adorable than seeing you two screaming together in tags (even better: in tags under my posts adsfdgfh) - you really don’t know how often you made me smile without knowing you did. I love you two so, so much, please always be happy!! 💜🌻

@r-m: Jords, beautiful, super funny, kind and caring Jords. I still remember the day of “balenciaguks started following you” and how thrilled I was. I didn’t even know you right then, but my gut feeling was right - you truly are as amazing as I thought. You really give flavour to this site with your charisma, and the gorgeous gifs you make are the cherry on top. I’ll always have the biggest crush on you, babygirl; I adore you to death, and am patiently waiting for our wedding. 🌹

I will always have the softest spot for my fellow gifmakers. You all are not only talented, but the sweetest people on earth. Luckily, I interact with most of you in one way or another too, which feels like the jackpot. Thank you for sharing your amazingness with us, be it through your creations or your personalities, you’re the real deal. You’re not only artists, but also bombass mutuals to me. 💗

@bangtanger @blondesuga, @blueandtaes, @dnaes, @everythingoes, @filmsout, @gimbapchefs, @heybaetae, @hobeah @honsool, @hoseosk, @intronnevermind, @jiminswn, @kimtaehyunq, @kkulmoon, @loversmore, @lyseries, @parkjinmi, @rosebowl, @solivoire, @suga-ssi, @taehyungq, @taeyungie, @userjiminie​, @vjimin, @yoongisbengaliwife, @yoonglet, @yoongisshadow.

I’ve grown to be very much into creating and admiring gfx, it’s a way to express myself and something that inspires me, which is why I’d like to mention some absolutely amazing gfx creators who blow my mind every. single. time. Your talent is unmatched, thank you for sharing your beautiful art with us for free. I love your brains, but also the rest of you, very, very much.

How do you think season seven was supposed to go, before the rewrites?

Bellamy was supposed to be on Team Save Octavia

Murphy and Emori were supposed to become parents. There was, way too much build up and foreshadowing behind it because SO many people(including myself) thought Emori was pregnant throughout the whole airing of the last season

Transcendence was only given legitimacy out of wanting to give Bellamy’s death some meaning

Which character had the best outfits/looks in season seven? 

Fashion icons, the both of them. 

List five characters who deserved better. 

Madi Griffin. What these malicious writers put this poor kid through is beyond cruel because she was on the verge of FINALLY getting to have a proper childhood. She was going to therapy to sort out her trauma, she was making friends her own age, she was going to school...and then they kill her in the most traumatic way possible. Absolute horseshit.

Gabriel Santiago. The fact that he was only two episodes away from making it to the finish line pisses me off. Also, the way he died was absolute garbage because it felt so anticlimactic and as soon as he passed, everyone moved on from it WAY too quickly. It felt like the relationships he built up with our characters meant nothing.

Monty Green. This man sacrificed his life, dedicating the rest of his days to finding a new habitable planet for humanity to settle on...only for the Earth to be perfectly fine in the last season, meaning that his sacrifice was in vain. If I were Jordan and the surviving members of Spacekru, I’d be royally fucking pissed off and devastated about it because it meant Monty didn’t have to die.

Raven Reyes. By the end of the series, she was the one main character who got the worst treatment out of the bunch, constantly drawing the short stick writing wise. The last time the writers cared about giving Raven a compelling story arc was in the fourth season, and after that, it just went downhill. The worst part about this was that it was starting to tarnish my high opinion of her character. And to any Raven fans out there...I’m sorry I let that happen. That’s on me.

Harper McIntyre. This woman deserved far, far better than what she got. She had so much potential but the writers just up and reduced her down to being Jordan’s mother who goes unmentioned. Like, would it have KILLED these writers to have her son mention her just ONCE?! 

Who are your favorite gifmakers in The 100 fandom? 

I ADORE @murphystartedthefire and her gifs with every fiber of my being. She always manages to spot parallels that go completely over my head and she’s the very first 100-centric blog I ever followed, and I’m so glad I found her!

@cuteforathief makes some really beautiful gifsets of Memori and it made me smile to see someone else making gifsets of my favourite ship when I was feeling creatively tapped out, myself. 

@gellarsummers is another person who makes gorgeous Memori/Emori gifsets and it’s so great to see more people appreciating Emori for the wonderful character she is.

I always appreciate and look forward to @bellaarke and their post season wrap up gifsets because they’re a nice reminder of how far some of these characters have come. 

Choose your own question! Write about anything on your mind!

Talking about gif making has got me wanting to make some myself. To Photoshop I go!

[iridescentides]

7, 8, 3! ❤️❤️

AH thank you so so much for sending these Emma!!!

3: Which of your sets has the most notes?

my most popular set is this one and i mentioned a few asks ago why that’s unfortunate but it kinda sucks bc i spent literally no time on it at all, and didn’t even caption it, which is what i do with quick little gifsets that i don’t care about. i wish my sets that actually took effort were this popular instead.

7: Who are your top 3 gif makers?

okay SO through writing the creator spotlights i have been thinking very hard about who my favorite gifmakers are and i think i have come up with 3 absolute favorites. these are people who i have already posted spotlights for, so i don’t feel like this is a spoiler or anything. each of them has their own unique, beautiful, vibrant coloring style that has helped me establish goals for myself:

@colewald - spotlight here

@judsonryder - spotlight here

@souloben - spotlight here

these are people who blow me away with every single gifset they post! 

honorable mention to @amandaseyfried as well bc even though i just found her blog recently, she is amazing at coloring too!!!

8: What gif trend do you hate?

i hate gifs that are both wide and tall!!! like if it’s a single column gifset, i hate when the gifs are taller than a 16:9 crop ratio. the shape being almost square in that type of layout just makes me uncomfy. i still reblog those sets bc people work really hard on them, but i personally won’t make any gifs like that.

questions for gifmakers!!!

[megs-got-all7]

My thoughts about the GOT7 solo songs

I am that ahgase that is VERY easy to please, so I generally like all the songs, to the point where I don't have a favourite. This is just based on the short versions we've heard/seen so far.

(ps blessed are the gifmakers they shall inherit all the editing software)

MADE IT, Jackson

Typically, I'm not the biggest fan of Jackson's solo songs. I find them to be a bit monotonous and lyrically surface. MADE IT almost falls into that, but it's a bit more lyrically enjoyable and the beat is extremely catchy. The intro sounds almost exactly like Feel My Vibe. He looks really sexy in his MV, and the part right before the chorus looks like he's being beamed down in a flurry of glitter paper and as a hardcore Star Trek fan, that is my jello.

PARTY, BamBam

I get the feeling that a lot of listeners are torn over this one? They either hate it or love it, idek. It's ridiculous to me, but in a good way. It's a song that doesn't care, it's here for a good time not a long time. It reminds me of a 90s song called Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless) by Crystal Waters; that keyboard sound. His MV is the one of the only ones with other people, and that's interesting??? Why does Bammie have this random squad? Why don't they come back with him at the end of the MV...did Bammie sacrifice his squad to the Party Gods lol

NOBODY KNOWS, Youngjae

Youngjae's voice is one of Those Bitches to me: powerhouse vocal, doing all that??? Didn't have to go that hard AND YET. Youngjae's voice reminds me of Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy, in terms of sheer operatic quality. It's really full and rich, and this song takes advantage of his range. The MV itself is super unsettling as well as the lyrics. This is the song that has stuck with me the most; I keep warbling NOBODY KNOOWWWSS at random times, it's very therapeutic.

MY YOUTH, Jinyoung

Another one of Those Bitches, Jinyoung's voice is so beautiful to me. He's my bias, so that's probably a big factor; I gotta admit, when I can't sleep I find that vlive where he was reading a book and listen to him talk. Boom. Out like a light, works every time. MY YOUTH really is a Jinyoung song: plainitive, raw and expressive. I tend to like his songs a lot, and this one is no exception. The MV is so cute, man. So cute, and it really contrasts with the lyrics; the lyrics aren't as cute, not at all: they sound so unsure and slightly regretful and that's really boss.

FINE, Yugyeom

Hey anytime I want a sexy dance bop, I can depend on Kim Yugyeom to come through. If MADE IT is what dance groups might use in some competition, and PARTY is about hands in the air like you don't care then FINE is some private shit. It's his usual sensual sound, and Yugyeom really has a handle on smooth and relateable jams. I wasn't sure if i liked him dancing in the MV? I know, that's how Yugy DO, but it might have been a different vibe if he didn't. Anyway someone has to dance and it might as well be Yugyeom.

SUNRISE, JB

This is the one that caught me by surprise, honestly. I keep forgetting how nice JBs voice is, and when he hit that falsetto I got chills. Bruh. I felt my whole life rotate. He doesn't have that wide voice like Youngjae or that smooth sound like Jinyoung, and sometimes I think he strains to hit some notes, so I hope he doesn't push too hard if/when he performs this live. The MV was so dreamlike, and it really set off his voice nicely.

OMW, Mark

I was so nervous for this because Mark hasn't done anything musical without GOT7 apart from with Sunmi (I think??), and I just wanted him to do well. I AM PLEASED. Mark has that chill vibe and that is literally all I ever want from him, but he sang! Look: Mark is not Youngjae, and he has a nasal quality, but he's hitting his notes cleanly (he generally does this live too), and it comes across as pretty solid work. He has a wider range than most people think, and it actually shows up in this song. And the lyrics are so good. My only regret is that he said 'Mark' as his intro and not 'M.T.' like how BamBam had done in the No Jam MV... two syllables just feel better than one to me but that's just me. The title is so clever, too.

[ohmycaptn]

since ouat is over, can you make a top 5 list of things u will miss the most and a top 5 list of things you won't miss at all ?

That’s a hard request because I’ll miss a lot of things and I won’t miss a bunch of things as well lmao. So I gave myself the right to add a bonus. Hope you don’t mind. 

Okay, let’s go. 

Top 5 things I’ll miss the most

It’s kinda obvious that the thing I’ll miss the most is CAPTAIN SWAN. All the scenes, all the fluffy and domestic moments, the chemistry… It’s been almost a year since we stopped having scenes of them together every week and I’m still not used to it. I’ll miss them so much. 

All the freak-out moments we had while getting new content like stills, sneak peeks or even theories. This is one of the things I used to love the most about this fandom: It didn’t matter how tiny the information was or how fast the scene was, if it was about Captain Swan, we’d be freaking out A LOT here.

The friends I’ve made here. I know the fact that OUAT being over doesn’t mean that my friendships will be too. But, yet, it’s different. Life goes on, and people follow different paths. I’ll definitely miss being here and just talking with a bunch of people about beautiful episodes, gifsets, and fanfics. 

Watching OUAT live. The excitement, the laughs, the screams, the anger because of plot holes or cringe/meaningless scenes. It was so amazing to be part of these moments…

Making gifsets. It was one of the reasons I decided to chose Advertising as my course at college. Photoshop is one of my passions and being able to make gifsets is something I’m so proud of. I’ll miss spending my days rewatching episodes and trying to think of parallels to make (and being very mad at my computer for not helping me during my gifmaker moments lol).

BONUS: Captain Charming. Captain Cobra. Captain Cobra Swan. Swan-Jones Family. I’ll miss a lot these relationships. They were too precious for this world.

Top 5 things I won’t miss at all

Plot holes… ALL THE PLOT HOLES. I’m still so mad about all the plot holes this show forced me to accept.

The fandom wars. I’m not going to be a hypocrite person and say that I was always positive but, at some point, I realized that fighting over ships was just really immature and senseless. Everyone deserves to ship whatever they want, but apparently, some people still didn’t realize that (even after the show is over… Tragic). 

The lack of diversity and the wasted time spent on senseless storylines. The show is over and I’m still mad about not having an episode about Emma’s birthday or even Thanksgiving. The show had so much potential to explore relationship development, but they preferred to explore things we didn’t even care about. 

The timeline and all the “Many many many MANY years ago”. I WON’T MISS THAT MESS AT. ALL. I’m tired of trying to understand how some characters were like 5 years older but Baby Neal was still a toddler. To be honest, I’m still surprised we got to see an 8-year-old Neal and not a toddler being carried by Snow in the last episode… Because it was like this for 3 SEASONS. God, I’m so happy we’re finally free from this mess LMAO.

The wish realm. Period. Nothing more needs to be said. 

BONUS: Neal glorification. I definitely won’t miss all the scenes of Neal being glorified and called a hero… He’s not a hero. Everyone knows that but the writers. Tragic again.

That’s all, anon! It was hard to only choose 5/6 things… Thanks for the ask
