#one day ... one day it'll get written the way it deserves 😔

[taegularities]

Hello, lovely Rid 💕💕

I'm here to ramble to you about your ramble in response to my ramble lmao.

First of all, we really do think alike apparently, because I also checked the wordcount of my feedback before sending it and it's probably the longest one I've ever written and will ever write. Even without all of the quotes it's like over 2k words, I really don't know how to shut up 😭😭😭

Thank you so much for taking so much care to write such a thoughtful response, Rid 🥺🥺🥺 I always love reading your responses to feedback, and not only my own, because everyone points out different things and you give even more insight into the story and your writing process. I can just read about your stories forever, even when it comes to commentary about them.

I watched the mv for 'when you're gone' and I totally agree with you that that scene matches OC's mood in the beginning of the chapter very well 😔😔😔 It also matches the way I was reading the Valentine’s day drabble, smiling at how adorable they were when I knew how we left off in cmi6. I've said it before but I'll say it again, the thing that hurts the most is knowing how happy they're able to make each other and seeing how they're now hurting each other instead 😭😭😭

Also about the rambling to my sister lmao. Cmi is the first fic I've properly talked to her about (she reads fanfic too, just not bts ones) and I was fully ranting to her about how Jungkook was keeping everything in and trying to be strong until he couldn't anymore, and now he's ignoring OC, I don't think I've ever ranted so much even about a real life person lmao. I might have not painted him in the best light because of how mad I was though 😔😔😔 But I probably will just ramble about how cute he is to her later on when everything works out 😌😌😌

Also also everyone has been adding onto the sadness and angst here and I don't know how they do it, because every time I even think about OC with someone else or just them being even sadder I want to cry lmao. But I still love reading everybody adding to the chaos, I can't lie.

Last but definitely not least, I feel like I haven't properly checked in on you in a few days, so how are you doing, Rid? 🥺🥺🥺

I MISSED YOU (she says after just 2 days lol), honestly, i was gonna shoot you an ask today lmao but since you're here, i can just say it now: i hope you're doing well! how's school going? <3

2k even without the quotes? i don't deserve you fr 😭 no but seriously, i copied it into a doc, and thought, kay, must be around 2k, like all of it (which is already a lot) BUT 5.7K.... and it was like 10 pages long !! i went "awwh" out loud 😭

and thank you 🥺 i was even thinking of making a smol commentary one day, when i've got the time, bc i could talk about them forever 😭 i really love reading everyone's reviews and theories, bc sometimes it makes me rethink things that i didn't consider even while writing.

ikr? i spent my teenage years crying to 'when you're gone', and i kinda remembered the song when you pointed out that 'he can be comfort even now' bit :( and you're actually so right. might argue that it hurts even more to relate it to the vday drabble.. especially, considering what's still to come.

hahaha i get it 😭 after that chapter, it was hard to hold a high opinion of him, bc he did kinda fuck up :// but yes, i promise you, there are gonna be scenes and chapters that are so fluffy, it'll be almost disgusting, really. it's so cute that you ranted about it to your sister hahaha i really love that you're so invested 🥺

I KNOW! it's amazing how everyone was ready to jail me for all the angst... yet, they keep coming up with scenarios and songs that break me for good 😂 i wasn't as much in pain when i posted the chapter as i am now hahahah

ahh i'm okay, ivi, thank you for asking! i think the biggest reason for my bleh mood was that i'm... very bored. i've been feeling pretty unproductive since i took this super long break after graduation and quit my last job. which is why i'm lowkey excited (but also very scared lol) to start my semester next week and my job in may! will join you in your academic misery hahah but yeah. i'll be busier, but i'm looking forward to it, bc i do like being busy! hope you're all good, too 🥺🤍

The Yurch AU summary — Re:Seasons chunk!

Ok. This got a little complicated bc I had to figure out where everybody was and when lol and I probably still fucked up a bunch of stuff

actual footage of me putting this chunk of the AU together:

under a cut for ease of scrolling 😊

So! when Tex broke back into the MOI to get Alpha, they were able to convince Carolina along by having Tex jump into York's armor for a sec (I figure when she works out she's an AI she's a smart enough cookie to work out how Omega did it) and pop up on his shoulder like the other AI while her robot body just goes 'zhoop' and slumps over bc it's empty. And Carolinas like 👀💧 wait I've been fighting a robot and York's like 🥺 Come on Carolina, we gotta run Carolina so she goes with.

Tex splits up with them when she finds out they moved Alpha to Blood Gulch to look after him, and York and Lina keep working on gathering evidence to take PFL down and also avoid/stop the Meta.

They find Tex jumped inside the ship to escape recapture and they get her into her kinda beat up robot body. She fills the rest of them in on what PFL's been up to (except she doesn't seem to want to tell Church he's the Alpha until it's absolutely necessary) and they plan to spring Epsilon and the other AIs free from the storage.

Wash picks up Caboose and Church from Rats Nest like usual, but they pick up "Private Argus" who has "Relocation orders" to another base and they drop him off on the way. But he's actually got orders from command to keep tailing Wash. Unfortunately, he's spent the last 14 months pretending to be a fucking klutz instead of, u know, using his actual skills so Wash is like "why don't u come on out and stop eavesdropping Argus" and Argus/RI is like well fuk ok I may as well blow my cover completely and Church roasts the fuck out of him bc how can this dumbass possibly be a freelancer

Meanwhile South and Theta are scheming to lure the Meta in by leaving Theta and the bubble shield and activating their recovery beacons. North is distraught but Theta's like "This is the only way I can protect you, you took care of me for a long time, let me take care of you too. Besides, siblings gotta stay together, and Sigma's obviously gone bonkers so I gotta help him so he stops hurting Maine." So the Dakotas fake their deaths, the Meta snatches up what he came for, and the very cramped warthog full of Wash, Tex, Rhodey, Church and Caboose rolls up a bit too late. Wash radios Command, says Dakotas are dead, and they round up some explosive stuff.

The corpses disappear while they're doing that. They're like ??????? but figure the deaths were staged and move on bc they got stuff to do.

Meanwhile Delta's about to pull the same shit bc he thinks he can talk some sense into Sigma. So Meta winds up with almost everybody (Carolina just flat out refuses to let Eta and Iota do the same.)

Meta sends the Reds after the Blues as usual, and tracks the entire group to the storage facility. They don't unleash an EMP this time, just knock out the communications systems that allow outside communication.

Tex knocks out Meta and they pull the AIs and secure them for transport. Caboose is surprisingly competent with the AIs and lovingly helps remove each of them from storage and tells them don't worry he's their new friend Caboose and they're all going on a trip to a new place where there's gonna be lots of friends and everyone's gonna be so happy to see them so just sit tight and wear your seatbelts and we'll all go home real soon.

Tex escapes the facility with Church and Caboose and Rhodey and the AIs in tow and head back to one of the safehouses Wash had been working out of. Wash waits for Meta (or hopefully Maine) to wake back up, make sure he's ok. Takes him back to a different safehouse to rest bc Maine woke up with the world's biggest melon-splitter of a migraine, he's gonna need a dark quiet room for a while.

Alpha decides to go talk to Epsilon first, and they get things sorted out, share the burden of memories both old and new, real and fake. Tex and Wash are literally right outside so that helps to cement that the Director and Counselor lied to them and all the Freelancers are fine. Well, Wyoming's 'dead' but that was because he tried to kidnap Tucker's kid and Tucker stabbed him. (He's not, actually, Gary lied to protect him and Wyoming and Zombie Florida fucked off into the sunset together, but no one finds that out until later when they remember Gary's still in the Blood Gulch computers and go pick him up.)

Alpha and Epsilon don't recombine? exactly but they do join forces and form a sort of hybrid entity (Alphalon! but also just. 'Church' bc that's kind of a goofy name and they feel weird saying it) and work on talking to each of the other fragments individually, helping them sort thru which memories are false with the help of the very alive freelancers that are goofing around at the new bases they moved to with the other Reds and Blues.

York and Lina show up eventually looking for Tex, Wash and Maine come by to check on the Blues, the Dakotas hear about other Freelancers being around and make their way over. Theta and Delta are like 😍😍 you're okay!! and everyone is shocked to see Church suddenly yelling "North! South!" and running over to the new tall fella and basically tackling him for a hug. South laughs at him and then Theta hug tackles her too. The eyes are magenta so it's a dead giveaway it's not Alphalon Church but it's still very weird.

Sarge made everybody pick sides so now the Freelancers are in on the color divided shenanigans and participating willingly. It's good times. Here is a handy chart of team divisions

Rhodey's grown fond of these assholes and is sticking around for a bit of a vacation before he leaves to find his friend Oregon who'd gotten his arm mangled during a mission and got sent home before the break-in/MOI crash.

The Sandtrap dig goes smoothly bc CT didn't die and just fucked off with the Innies, and Tucker and Yurch and Junior come by to visit everybody since they got some vacation time, also Donut shows up too. Kai comes by completely by accident, she was supposed to meet with a publicity agent for her music festival. I'm not 100% on where Donut was stationed or or why he ended up taking the squad an SOS from Tucker?

Church is like 'Hey man did u know ur an AI too?" and Lee's just like "yeah of course we figured it out a while ago" and Alphalon is like how?!?!

Anyway, not all the AIs want to return to being a whole person, some aren't capable of reintegrating, some don't want to, some enjoy being their own person. I figure they sort of function together like a system in the same android body.

They absolutely want to kill the Director and that's the next road trip but Church wants everybody settled in and brought up to speed and supported properly before they do any more hijinks. They find a bunch of robot bodies in the facility when they do go track down Dr. Dickhead Sadboy McDeadwife so anyone who wants their own body can have one! (honestly? living the fucking life, I want my own body so I can smooch my in-system partner and braid its hair 💕😔)

whew. I think that's most of it. idk how much people care about Rhode Island, but he gets to go see his old friend/crush Oregon and their friend Delaware actually works a few blocks down in his mom's shop making terrifying robots and doing repairs n stuff. so they get their own little reunion :3

Opinions on season 2: I'm actually really glad that we have season 2 because I would not have shipped y/n×jeongin without it, my reasoning being that it seemed like in season 1, Jeongin placed Jiyeun higher on his priority list than y/n, despite the signs of Jiyeun being a horrible person being astoundingly clear, I just thought that y/n didn't deserve that sort of situation, but season 2 is finally giving me a reason to say that Jeongin and y/n deserve to be OTP. I really love the plot of season 2, the story's progression is going so well, and I love seeing our lovely Hwang twins get as much screentime as they're getting in this fic because the sibling dynamic is *chef's kiss*

On another note, I don't think there should be a season 3 of this particular fic because I feel like after season 2 ends, there'll be a sense of completion which would make season 3 feel like a drag on, but but but, and this is vital, atleast to my wellbeing, I need more sibling stuff from you since you write it so well, so a tiny hwang spin off would be to die for.

Anyways, I LOVE YOUR WORK SO MUCH IT'S SO GOOD LIKE PTODIDICSIDJ HOW?

Also, to my beloved bs, the plan to go to Minho's restaurant sounds perfect, meet you there at 7 (which timezone though-) and Ash, wear something boob themed so that we can spot you and know who to avoid, thanks love ❤️ jk, but all the best not getting kicked out by Minho

And you wanted to get stabbed, so I have this, my cousin sent it to me the other day and it's perfect for this situation, so:

✧⁺⸜(●˙▾˙●)🔪✧ᔆᵗᵃᵇ ᔆᵗᵃᵇ ᔆᵗᵃᵇᵇᵇᵇᵇ

-🍕

Yes omg thank u 👀

I do believe that I ended season 1 abruptly with an "oop they r together now, bye." but i do love the way i had written the story and the ending definitely seemed like a call for season 2 (even though i kept it a secret until the actual post cuz i was really second guessing releasing it). I moreso started season 2 with the thought of wanting to try and write an established relationship au where it's not all flowers and sunshine. That the rollercoaster of emotions that is their relationship have it's repercussions in the way they would trust each other (oop, hint). And yes!! I'm a sucker for the Hwang siblings trope 😭❤️.

Yeah, honestly I have zero plans for season 3, it's just me not wanting to let go of these amazing characters 😔 (and because i'm dreading going back to jyp-u smau series cuz i feel like i wrote myself on a wall with that one).

A little spoilie too is that season 2 will end on a timeskip oooh 😏😏😏, and since I ended up extending the arcs in this fic (a consequence of me rushing minho's smau), i'm taking my time with this one. A spin-off would be fun but I think I have enough time to showcase a good Hwang siblings story in this series that it'll be enough. Alternatively, I WAS thinking of a spin-off but then I thought "wHO woULd bE tHe MC????? aRe tHere goNNa bE tWO y/Ns???" which is honestly just funny to think about.

And yes, see you guys at 7, for the sake of fun, we'll all arrive in different timezones. I already have my fit ready: i don't think minho will kick me out with this one :,)))) right???

also im stealing that emoticon now
