A, D, and I for sunghoon please <3

A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)

There will always be five minutes of pure silence between both of you after you've climaxed. He'll hold your body close, maybe run his fingers through your hair while you trace his beauty marks on his face. There's something so beautiful about the afterglow of sex that he's so mesmerized by you, and no words can express how he feels while looking at you. Sunghoon is not really a talker at all during aftercare. At best, his only words are short and sweet to make sure you're okay, but he makes up for it by running a mandatory bath for the both of you to sit and hold each other under the warm water. He helps to wash the sweat and cum off your skin and dries you off with a towel. Only laughs and giggles fill the air as he tucks you into the covers, and he likes to spoon you with your back to his chest, waiting until you are asleep before he closes his eyes. 🥺

D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

He likes it when you're as possessive of him as he is of you. I think he hides it pretty well just because he gets pretty shy when it comes to showing his true reaction. He'll entertain whoever flirts and hits on him at a party, his eyes noticing you from afar as you keep glancing his way, a very upsetting frown on your face. His heart would race when you finally decide to walk toward his direction, a smug smile on his face when you wrap your arms around his neck and go in between him and the person. You sweetly tell Sunghoon that you missed him even though you guys were only apart for a few minutes and immediately go to kiss him straight on the lips. Your tongue plunges itself into his mouth, openly French kissing him, loudly moaning into his wet mouth on purpose in front of the person. He wraps his hands around your waist, playing along and reciprocating the messy kiss, watching as the person scoffs and leaves.

Sunghoon fucking loves it. He finds it very hot and sexy when the first thing you do is show people who he belongs to, who fucking owns him and his body, and that will always be you.

I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…)

I think being with Sunghoon makes you feel like you have two boyfriends. One is the rough, dominant giver who can't stop calling you his little slut, his needy kitten, and his cum whore while he fucks the daylights out of you. He gives you the most eye-rolling orgasms while pinching and slapping your swollen clit. The other version of him is a big romantic softie that likes kissing each other and holding hands while softly rocking into your hips. Sunghoon will try to lowkey make it sweet, but when he's really in the mood, he'll profess his love to you with his whole face buried in your neck or hair. Just smelling you makes him crumble into a million pieces. Also, try not to poke fun at him about it. He's a big tsundere who doesn't want to admit what he did, so just hug him and tell him you love him too, and he'll melt into your embrace wordlessly.

We all know James and Lily live a long happy life together but do you know how they met? Was it on the Hogwarts Express where one accidentally bumped the overhead luggage and caused it to drop on the other? Or was it because Lily wanted to know who lets their dog pee on her lovely Petunia that she keeps next to her door and waits to yell at him as he went about his morning routine? Who knows? Who will tell? And just so everyone can know the different answers to the above question, this year’s theme for jilytober fest is…🥁🥁🥁🥁 ‘MEET CUTES/UGLIES!’

Disclaimer: this post is a lil’ long

Bittersweet

We all know honey gets sweeter when you stir it up, but can you make it bitter too? What happens when we give you a fluff prompt but ask you to give us angst? We get bittersweet jily, addictive and delicious. Oh and how about when you turn our angsty prompt into sweet nothings and sugar coated love declarations? Absolute delight! Come ask for your prompt and twist it to your flavour

The participants will be given a fluff prompt which should be interpreted as angst. And vice versa. Those interested in participating in this challenge can send an ask, and a prompt will be assigned to you! (Yes, both writers and artists can participate 🥰). There is no deadline to register for this event.

Masquerade challenge

Are you as good as a Marauder at detective work? Can you sniff an authors tells at the poker table? Can you sense the writer before the end of the story? Can you tell which James loves Lily the most? If you think you can come have a guess 😉

A few writers will write and anonymously submit their fics to the challenge collection (will be posted soon). Readers have to match the fics to the writers. The options for authors will be given via a tumblr poll. Everyone is encouraged to participate :)

To be a writer, send an ask saying that you wish to participate by the 20th of September (so that you get enough time to write)

Jily sprinkle moments!

At the beginning of each week, 5 one word prompts will be posted. They can all be connected together to make one fic, or as many as one wants. There is no limit! Go grab that jily moment and put it in <<101 words! (If inspiration strikes, feel free to go crazy) Everyone is encouraged to participate! (Artworks, fics, moodboards, playlists—anything can be made). Do tag this blog and @jilymicrofics so that your works can be reblogged

Readers Bingo!

We’ve been spoilt with so manyyyy jily fics this year, were you able to keep up?? If you were, you will rock the bingo weekends this year!

The official bingo templates will be posted every Friday at 12AM GMT and to win it, one would have to get a bingo by Monday 12 AM GMT. This year, we will have 4 bingos (🎉🎉) for each category— general audiences (6th-8th), teen and up(13th-15th), mature(20th-22nd), explicit(27th-29th). Every single person in the fandom is encouraged to participate :)

Trying to set up a Simply Plural description for these bitches and I don't know what to put. Looked up some templates on Tumblr. Holy fuck I can't even read these templates legibly enough to understand what they want from me. I've got ADHD, I can't do all the pretty symbols and shit.

Uh. What do y'all put in your Simply Plural descriptions? Without any templates. Dear god don't send me a template. Appreciate the help from whoever offers it lol.

[lemonfairy-yearns]

Template by @espresso-ships

and for fun I'm going to over-explain my answers >:)

who's most likely to-

get a tattoo of their s/o's name: its Beetlejuice. bro has a lot of old tattoos of people he thought he'd be with forever but ditched his weird ass after they saw that(among other things). Pontiferous would NEVER put a lover's name on himself because in fae etiquette that would be like taking ownership of someone permanently, and that's a little too far for him.

fall for a scam: Pontiferous has almost NO digital/telephone "street smarts", but since he's usually surrounded by royal advisors or Beej(a professional scam artist), He's safe enough from wiring all his money to whoever asks nicely.

beat up someone who was mean to their s/o: both of them certainly WOULD, but Beej is more willing to use his trickster powers on a dime to amuse himself and/or on anyone who inconveniences him/Ponti. He often just starts messing with people just to make Pontiferous laugh(which works). If Ponti were to administer karmic justice onto someone being rude to his Bug(Beetlejuice), the person being rude better enjoy their new existence as a box of chocolate dipped cockroaches set on Beej's beside table. pushing Pontiferous to this point a bit harder though.

send an illicit text to the wrong person: Pontiferous is a very steamy romantic but TERRIBLE at managing his phone contacts. He has a line outside his bedroom of fairies who got the wrong text but would like to have a word with the prince if they may be so bold ;3 . Beej can barely get his phone to turn on with his greasy fingers, so he just writes Very Formal Emails on his ancient PC (because he's been a bio-exorcist for so long he has cracked getting messages to the people they're meant to get to. He's got a website and form letters and everything ooOOoh, web designer moment.)

Drink too much: Beej enjoys drinking more, and Pontiferous LOVES to spurn him on so he can see how much Beej can put away before he starts committing property damage. Also Beej is a Cocktails enjoyer, whereas Ponti enjoys drinks with alcohol added as a bonus flavor(eg: whiskey coffee, Bailys hot cocoa).

Forget an anniversary: Beetlejuice doesn't even realize that they have an anniversary(he hesitates to think they're even dating) and Pontiferous is too "polite" (read: cowardly) to remind him. but he has the exact date and time written in a book to give to Beej when they both eventually assert that they are indeed dating.

Burn the kitchen down when cooking: Beetlejuice, but make no mistake it is PART OF HIS RECIPE. he has a PLAN do NOT get in the way.

Apologizes first: Pontiferous is the king of over-apologizing, usually just to get people to shut up and because he needs to be thought of as polite, but. He's tired of being nice. He wants to go ape shit. Beej enables this.

Initiates a kiss: at any given moment, Pontiferous may need to be tied down to keep him from making out sloppy style with that freak for 6 solid hours. his advisors are so tired of his ass, why does he want that one???

Hope it's okay to send this for the ask game! We've really enjoyed reading all your answers :)

🥀 + 📻

No worries! You can def send them in (and Im glad u enjoyed reading our answers :D I just figured everything was abysmally buried)

🥀 - do you keep track of your alter count? how do you do so?

So!! We use 3 different things for managing alter info, and then one separately. 📓 is our archivist and he is!! Bonkers /j.

First he uses simply plural for the custom field feature, and the layout of the app. He has a shit ton of custom fields put in for anything you can reasonably think of for an alter. Then, he uses Pluralkit because we have a system discord. Theres a template he made that we r going to upload soon. THEN in the system discord has an even longer version of the template he made (that cant be used in pk bc of the length). On top of it all, we have a notion journal with all the same shit + personal journals. Why did he do that to himself? /j lh/ No, but those are the three ways we manage to keep track of alters. Not all of them are uploaded, and furthermore, not all of them are uploaded in all of the places. We try to keep our simply plural for the bulk of it.

Other apps we use as a system that dont keep track of alters, but we find helpful regardless:

- Mindly: A mind mapping app that is pretty user friendly/easy to use. Not a super high learning curve imo, but it can be confusing upon initial use. If u are any flavor of polyfragmented, it may be harder to keep track with the free feature. We have 3 separate mind maps for the 3 separated areas in our system.

- Calm Harm: We have a horrible self harm addiction 😃 this app tho? It helped a ton in our beginning days of stopping. We don’t SH as much anymore bc of coping™️ but its still helpful for alters who cant control the urge as well as the others.

- UpWord: Its a notes app that can be locked via a passcode. It also has a built in reminders feature. We use it for keeping track of body info, extra info, routines, and general alter stuff. Its become pretty obsolete for us because of the onslaught of programs 📓 uses, but it keeps track of stuff for us still. It has a $4 upgrade to change the colors, remove ads, and more. Id say only purchase it if you end up liking it and using it more than other apps. It’s worth it imo, but if ur broke like me and $4 is a lot, hold off until you use it.

- Selftalking: one of those back and forth, self chat apps. I find it easier to use than Antar (which i still don’t know how to use to this day), but you’ll probably have to make the convos as needed, as opposed to making them all and having alters search their name,,, but it does have a search function if needed. We found the search function helpful. It is, undoubtedly, super ugly from an app design standpoint, and its not entirely user friendly. The ads are incredibly annoying as well, but its a much worth it $1 purchase imo.

📻 - do you experience amnesia?

Yes, but most of it is drug related these days I think (as 🎸, the addiction holder). We’ve been working on functional multiplicity for a while so (day to day) memory sharing is getting easier, but we have a lot of what our therapist calls “cold switches” where theres usually hesitance or stubbornness or any negative emotion that leads to the switch being more disorienting and heightened amnesia. Its like,, idk hard to explain?? Most of the time theres about 9-10 of us front at any given point. Its actually really annoying to have so many of us front and then our amnesia STILL sucks. Like imagine you switch w/ the dude next to you in front and there being complete amnesia between the two until prev dude briefs him on whats been happening.

The way our front works, whoever fronts the frontest (lol) usually has less access to the innerworld, usually forgets what they were doing on the innerworld, they also usually forget what we were doing in a time range of,,, 30min - 3/4 hours, and thats if they are cofront. We’ve had alters who when cocon can remember all this shit but when they front they forget a bulk of it. It’s weird, but we’re working on it.

BUT YEAH! Feel free to send in more or ask non ask game questions!

[legacyshenanigans]

I am down bad for Rowan plz send help 🥵. Could we get Rowan SFW alphabet too perhaps? 👉👈 ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I really be out here creating men who were never supposed to become a big thing. That have literally become a thing 😅 I don't even think I've done a fuckin SFW alphabet for Volo lmao! Never mind Rowan! Hahahaha but I found a template so sure, I can do that for you 🤣💜

A = Affection (How affectionate are they?)

Just like a pet dog, he needs to be close to you at all times. He's always pawing at you, needing your attention. If anything, YOUR affections spark his affections.

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

Friendships don't come too easily to Rowan, but once youve proven your trust, he's pretty great, fiercely loyal.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

Yes! And as I've said before, it's more death grips haha, man loves a cuddle.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

He'd have no problem settling down if it was for the right perosn. Unfortunately he's no "domestic goddess" he's messy and he doesn't cook, because his diet doesn't require cooking.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

Ghost. Far away from you. You'd never see him again.

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment?)

Once he's in love, BOOM. He'd want it all.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

Emotionally, he CAN be gentle, depending who to obviously. But physically, in general, he's not a gentle person, he has to really focus on things to be gentle, like, he could open a door and pull it off its hinges by accident without meaning to.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

He likes hugs, he'll hug you any chance he gets, HARD overwhelming hugs. 🤣

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

Rowan can fall in love very quickly depending, and he would have no issue dropping the L bomb when he feels it.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

Very jealous, he wouldn't handle it well. He'd take himself off for a while, then, whoevers making him jealous is going to GET it.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you?)

Rough, aggressive, and messy.

Your thighs and your lips.

L = Little ones (How are they around little children?)

Rowan isn't good around small children, they make him antsy.

M = Morning (What they are like in the mornings)

Mornings for Rowan are actually pretty eventful. He prefers to hunt very early mornings, so he's usually up and out very early to do that.

N = Night (What they're like at night?)

That totally depends on where he is. If he's somewhere with you, he likes to relax (and other things) but if he's at the Den, he's usually either fighting or enjoying the activities there.

O = Open(When would they start revealing things about themselves?)

I mean, once he feels a little comfortable with you, he'll tell you anything.

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

Short fuse, he gets irritated and angry easily and its not pretty.

Q = Quizzes  (How much would they remember about you?)

Oh, he'll remember EVERYTHING about a person.

R = Remember (What is their favourite moment in your relationship?)

This is hard to answer, but I think his favourite part would be building up trust in those early days, like him realising that you're legit and genuine would be a big thing to him.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you?)

EXTREMELY protective..And you already know exactly how he'd protect you.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into the relationship)

A lot, once he's got you, he wouldn't wanna lose you, so he'd really try his best to keep you.

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

Messy in general, in most things. Getting wound up too easily, some could say acting TOO animalistic in his human form at times could be a bad trait too.

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

Well, he tries to keep his hair and beard neat, because if he didn't, he'd look like a tramp VERY quickly because his hair grows SO fast, it's like a daily thing he has to do, he looked a mess when Marvolo met him 🤣

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

Once he's love with you, yes, very much so.

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

Though Rowan doesn't NEED a full moon to transform, and can transform at will at any given time. When there IS a full moon, he prefers to be out in the woods in his wolf form, its just his thing, it's what he does.

Y = Yuck (What are some things they don't like?)

Small children, losing in general, COOKED meat.

Z = Zzz (What are their sleeping habits?)

Rowan will sleep ANYWHERE, in the most uncomfortable of postions, in the weirdest places. Naturally though,since joining the Den, he prefers a nice bed, but rarely sleeps under the covers. He's a space hogger and a terrible snorer.

Scoop: How Biden's event staffers guide him behind the scenes

Documents prepared by White House staff to aid President Biden at an event which were sent to other staff as a template for how to prepare for future events. Screenshots: Obtained by Axios

For his events, President Biden's staffers prepare a short document with large print and photos that include his precise path to a podium, according to an event template the White House sends to staffers.

Why it matters: Since the June 27 debate, some Democrats who've attended and helped set up Biden events have wondered whether his team's focus on minute details were to obscure the 81-year-old president's limitations — rather than just a reflection of a meticulous staff.

"I staffed a simple fundraiser at a private residence, but they treated it like it was a NATO summit with his movements," according to a person who staffed a Biden event in the past 18 months.

Driving the news: Before a presidential event, the White House sends event staffers a document to emulate when preparing their own materials for the president.

One template — a copy of which was obtained by Axios — is short and simple, with one large picture of the event space on each page, accompanied with big text such as: "View from podium," and "View from audience."

In the five-page document, two pages are separate pictures of, "Walk to podium."

The staffer who helped with the fundraiser told Axios: "It surprised me that a seasoned political pro like the president would need detailed verbal and visual instructions on how to enter and exit a room."

A White House official told Axios: "If individuals are not accustomed to seeing advance teams work, that would be a common reaction, whoever the principal is."

Two former aides who worked with Biden during his vice presidency said that at that time his preparation documents were different, and more often relied on site diagrams.

Reality check: Organizing presidential events — often called "advance work" — is intensive and detail-focused for every commander-in-chief.

Presidential movements are planned down to every footstep in ways that the movements of a vice president often are not.

Advance documents also have evolved since Biden was vice president, including the increased use of smartphone photographs.

Other prominent principals in the Biden administration use similar methods for plotting his movements, sources told Axios.

Do have some advice on how to defend against the pirates before they even though your work? After hearing what happened to your story; I’ve become very afraid of what will happen to mine…

Hello!

In this case, I suspect that the pirated works were bot-scraped, so there really isn't much you can do to prevent theft if your writing is posted online. I searched up a number of the stolen titles on AO3 to see if I could identify a common thread to figure out what types of stories were at risk, but they had little in common. Among the 500+ titles in the publisher's catalogue, there were stories from many different fandoms, works over 300K words, works under 20K words, works that were complete, and works that were incomplete and still updating on AO3! The only things the stories seemed to have in common at all were 1) they were in fairly mainstream fandoms (AAA video games, popular TV shows, major franchises like Marvel), and 2) they had a lot of readers on AO3. It's likely the pirates chose some arbitrary number of views or kudos and just swiped the top X number of works in several major fandoms. Additionally, the ebook formatting was a hot mess and all the covers used the same basic template, which makes me think much of the process may have been automated.

As I explained in my follow-up post, this sort of scheme is actually relatively common in the publishing world, too -- only it's even worse there. Pirates will acquire and reupload an ebook from a successful self-published or small-press author, then serve a fraudulent DMCA notice on the legitimate author to get the original version of the book removed from Amazon, so the only copy of the book available for purchase is the pirated one! Amazon's DMCA team gives the benefit of the doubt to whoever files the first complaint, so it can be difficult (and costly, if legal representation is required) for authors to prove ownership and get their accounts reinstated. At least with works stolen from AO3, there's a clear timestamped source we can send in to prove that the online work long predates the existence of the pirated one.

Some people have started account-locking their work on AO3 to try to restrict who can view it, but realistically, that doesn't provide much protection from this kind of piracy (thieves can make a free AO3 account, too!). The best defense is just to be aware that this sort of thing can happen, do a search on a couple of your most popular works every once in a while to make sure your stories aren't being reposted/sold, and share news of/report piracy any time you see it so the authors can file a complaint and get the pirated copy taken down.

# CAMERA ROLL -- NO. OF PHOTOS: 3,957 / NO. OF VIDEOS: 233

Her camera is generally all over the place, when she has time she goes through it and deletes screenshots or saved photos she doesn't need anymore that accumulate over a few months. Mostly likes taking pictures of her friends and the other Enhypen members. Often leaves her phone somewhere and whoever finds it will take a couple selcas or pictures of things for her to find later on.

# MY ALBUMS -- NO. OF ALBUMS: 6

TRAVEL / TRIPS | [NO. OF PHOTOS: 42] One of the few albums that are self-explanatory. Whenever the group travels or she takes trips on her days/time off she likes to capture 'in the moment' pictures during those times.

SONG RECS. | [NO. OF PHOTOS: 28] Just a folder of screenshots of songs that randomly play on playlists she listens to or if she has something on shuffle and she finds a song she wants to listen to again when she doesn't have time to save it at the moment. Additionally, she will save photos of songs people screenshot and send her or post that she sees to listen to them when she's free.

EN- | [NO. OF PHOTOS: 92] The Boysss!! This album is filled with either photos of the boys she takes, sometimes secretly for 'blackmail', or photos with the boys, or photos the boys have taken of themselves with her phone.

MSSG REACTION PHOTOS | [NO. OF PHOTOS: 76] Ranges from memes Engenes have made or her and the other members. There are some odd ones as well that don't relate to them specifically but she likes using them in group chats or private messages. She'll occasionally use them for posts or comment reactions when she uses the group's social media accounts.

SCHEDULES | [NO. OF PHOTOS: 242] Where she saves anything work schedule-related. Will sometimes be the calendar when she doesn't save things in the actual phone calendar. Will be behind-the-scenes photos, photos she's taken, or other people have taken of her that she likes and may post for teasers on the group's social media account.

♡♡♡ | [NO. OF PHOTOS: 18] Most recent folder; isn't really used often. Just a couple of cute photos she likes of people. Ranges from family, crushes, significant others, friends, etc. She's deleted this folder three times but remakes it.
