a writeblr intro!

oops i’m posting it again... tumblr decided i wasn’t cool enough to actually show up in the tags, alas.

🌹 Liv/Olivia | she/he/they | 23 🌹

Hello 🎉! My name is Olivia (feel free to call me Liv)! I am a Black fantasy & romance author who focuses on themes of queer love & longing, sapphic intimacy, generational wounds & complicated familial relationships.

I also spend quite a bit of time creating digital art! A lot of it revolves around my WIPs these days, lol. You will certainly see art on this blog of my characters. Feel free to check out my art blog @lurrkingly​, or my art twitter here.

I am always looking for more authors/writing advice blogs to follow! Fellow writers please feel free to interact! I follow, like, and reply from my main/personal blog, @girlfriend-champion​​ :)

I am always open to ask and tag games!

I am tentatively open to critique partners–if we’re mutuals and we have similar reading/writing interests, please feel free to ask! <3

🌹 about my work 🌹

My writing tends to skew towards adult/emerging adult. I LOVE various flavors of fantasy (high, low, urban, action-adventure, Gothic). I like to spend time crafting intricate worlds (lore bibles are some of my favorite things to write) and magic systems.

My favorite works (to write and to read) all include some form of romance. I write romantic love and attraction between all genders, but ladies craving each other carnally is like music to me. LOL. So, some of my work features sexuality/intimacy, but this certainly varies widely from project to project (and I certainly will not be sharing this sort of content on tumblr, for reasons that should be obvious.lol).

I love to include elements of complex relationships in my writing–romantic, platonic, or familial. Human relationships are complicated and messy and awesome and frequently painful–and it’s important to me that my work reflects that.

I try particularly to explore in my work the lives and relationships of queer women of color (particularly Black & biracial women). I am always open to fantasy, romance, and sci-fi recs written by Black authors :)

Hello!! when u get this, list 5 songs u like to listen to, publish. then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers/mutuals X) (Hello my precious Sunray! Copy and pasted this from Cat but I wanna leave a lil note here to tell ya I love ya <3 I am prepared from any K-pop rambling that may occur upon you receiving this >:) or any other music rambling for that matter!)

Hall Little fire lily :3 I have already done this with cat but! I have a lot of songs to show and with permission to rant…

Guerilla by Ateez - No idea how I failed to mention this song! It’s so powerful, one of my all time fav Ateez songs! Even better is that it’s a lore song (Bc why doesn’t the k pop groups have lore) The word Guerilla actually stands for a group of people that get together to go against something (usually authorities) which is what the ateez lore is about! But that ramble is for another day.

It is lacking in the dance aspect I would say- the dance for Guerilla is pretty damn goofy, however the fan chant for this song! If you have time search up “Guerilla Fanchant Ateez”. The atinys do not play with that one!

DO or DIE by Xikers - Ever wanna feel like a rebellious teen running on the rooftops in the city? This is the song. This IS THE SONG! Xikers is a rookie group (aka they are baby k pop idols, seriously they are all like 18-19 I think?) they are part of the same company as Ateez and have similar vibes yet not at all. And are amazing! Xikers really don’t seem like rookies in my very new k pop eyes, their music is so powerful and just makes you want to move. I really hope they can get big as a group because they deserve it :)

Astronaut by Stray Kids - I find it incredibly funny that my fav straykids song is ultimately one of the chiller ones. Stray Kids are a real noisy group in their music. I really can’t pin point what in has me so hooked, maybe it’s just the beat? I don’t know it’s catchy but not in a typical pop song way

Blue Hour by TXT - The collective suicide song! /j that’s a joke from the music video of this song. This is a typical catchy pop song but that’s just TXT’s style really. I’m fully in love with Taehyun’s part in the beginning. Also easier to sing a long to as TXT for some reason have a lot of English lyrics. And if ur wondering what time Blue hour is, 5:53pm.

Killin’ it by P1Harmony - It’s P1Harmony baby. One of the funner groups I’ve seen! Just recently learned all their names and stuff and I really need to listen to more of their songs. Killin’ it is a bop, it makes me feel cool and they say slay in it. Pwon also has Keeho… which isn’t easy to explain it’s just Keeho, he slays. Pwon also has Soul who is an incredible dancer, would recommend to check that out!

!!EXTRA APPRECIATION!!

Youth by Ateez - I mentioned youth in my other thing I did with cat but youth is a beautiful song with an even cuter meaning/story behind it. The song is a unit song between two of the members (aka it’s not the whole group who made it). The two that worked on it (Mingi and Yunho) have known each other since before the joined the group. When they preform the song on stage they have a little intro bit that as adorable.

It’s The two of them calling the day before going to audition in front of a company to see if they get to be in that company. They’re just reassuring each other that they’ll do great not knowing that they’re both auditioning for the same company, which actually happened I’m pretty sure. It’s sucha sweet moment and really shows their fricking friendship.

Its also speculated that the song is also about how Yunho helped Mingi with his anxiety. Mingi as an idol went on hiatus for a long while because of anxiety and Yunho would call him everyday and stuff. So the song is really just about them and it’s so sweet. Also it has relatable lyrics, as an anxious teen I get hit hard whenever I read those damn lyrics.

Thank you for listening to my rant :)

IWTV: I rewatched the old movie! which gave me more thoughts about ep 4.

I popped on the old movie on the weekend (the first one, not Queen of the Damned, I never actually saw that one ever)

Me and my friends were obsessed with this movie and the books when they first came out, but my interest cooled a bit as I got into my 20s, Anne Rice went a bit crazy, and I started to get bored with the books as I read more of them. I haven't watched this movie in probably almost 20 years.

Ehm. Look I don't want to offend anyone cause I know I have mutuals who like this movie, look I just said, I used to too, but wow I was kind of shocked by how not good it is. (which doesn't mean there's nothing interesting there, because there is) Like, just, guys objectively speaking, the plot of the movie is so incredibly truncated that a lot of the decisions and reactions and things don’t even make any sense, really. I found myself getting annoyed by the music cues. There would be a scene where the actors are failing to show any kind of emotional buildup, but the music would start to swell to indicate I'm supposed to be feeling a thing, and I started to get really really annoyed by it. Brad Pitt in particular is barely showing any kind of emotion at all beyond "vaguely sad". You could say maybe it's a directorial choice, but I mean, in the scene where he sets his plantation house on fire and addresses his slaves, he still can't seem to muster up any emotional depth. I found myself thinking about the show and how passionate and angry Jacob's Louis is at times. Maybe the issue is the movie is rushing SO QUICKLY through everything that there's no time to allow the actors some space to actually act. I don't know.

Once Claudia showed up, I started to legitimately enjoy the movie. I really do love her character a lot. I think Kirtsen Dunst does a pretty good job with such a challenging role for an actress her age. I think the little domestic scenes are the most appealing part of the entire movie, this little snapshot of a vampire family doing vampire family things. Watching this gave me a few more thoughts about the last ep, which I'll get into at the end here. I think this may be one single spot where I actually prefer the movie to the new show.

Don't worry though! We quickly get back into odd choices. I continue to be puzzled by the casting of Antonio Banderas. For almost every single other thing in this movie, they stay very close to the book. Aging Claudia up was done because it's simply impossible to have a 5 year old actress who could actually act in that role, so that change makes sense. Armand is in some ways similar to Claudia. He looks very young, in his late teens, and is beautiful, and it makes an interesting contrast when you find out this boy is actually the leader of the Paris coven, and the oldest living vampire that the audience is aware of, and is very very dangerous. Therefore, turning Armand into a large guy in his mid 30s when everything else is so close to the book is a very puzzling choice that I have never heard an explanation for. (I looked up the age of Assad Zaman and was SHOCKED to learn he's actually in his 30s too so like, that's some really good casting there, and just goes to show again the actors who can pull it off are out there, I just don't understand why they apparently didn't bother to look) Star power I guess? But was there really no popular, younger-looking actor that they could have got instead? (and you guys have to understand, I say this as a gigantic fan of Antonio Banderas)

Man I am SO not a fan of Tom Cruise in this. I can't tell if it's because he is legitimately doing a poor job, or if it's because I really really dislike him and his acting in general. There are a handful of spots where he actually made me laugh a little and the rest of the time I just want him to go away. Compared to this, Sam Reid is perfection.

Now look. As much as I can find faults with the movie now, the fact remains that I loved it when I was younger, and like I said there's still parts that I like. These characters were so compelling that we remembered them, that people were motivated to retell this story once again into a brand new show that takes it very seriously and is doing a good job, and I am even noticing little nods to the movie here and there in the show.

Watching the movie made me think more about that fourth ep, and Claudia. I think the actress is doing a great job, but I remain a little lukewarm. I know the practical and narrative reasons for why they aged Claudia up even more, but that doesn't stop me from wishing for a younger Claudia, because that's the aspect of her character I found the most interesting.

Maybe though, all I needed was to see a bit more of them all living together and having fun. I really enjoyed the brief little glimpses of her bouncing around their house, being naughty, not listening - I think I needed a little more of that. This is the very first time in the series so far, which is generally really taking its time and fleshing things out in an amazing way, where I felt like it should have slowed down a little. I ADORED the little bits we saw, the family movie, the birthday party, the coffin shopping... I loved it so much! I wanted just a little bit more! Just a little! And the sweeter it is, the more it will hurt later when things go all wrong!

Lestat's much cooler and more complicated relationship with Claudia in the show makes me quite sad, but here I think the change is interesting and I am ok with it. Lestat is the best when he's equal parts appealing and off-putting, so maybe it's good to get a reminder of the ways he is not great, plus maybe it sets up his daddy/mommy/other issues? Hey what the heck was up with his over-reaction and punishment when Claudia brought home Charlie? That felt personal. Did that have something to do with Nicholas, do you think? I assume?... I wonder if/how they're going to change around the details of all of that. It's so much fun the different layers here, how new fans are enjoying the story on its own, and how old fans can enjoy how things are being retold, and how it is still making surprises even when we generally know the main story beats.

Anyways. I was legit fun to rewatch that old movie and remember how I used to watch it all the time. I actually watched this movie quite a lot in French! When I was fresh out of highschool, I used to put the few DVDs I owned on with the French audio to try and keep my French skills up. (It didn’t work.) I still think of it quite fondly, even as I can recognize its serious flaws. And those flaws are mostly just the plot being so truncated the emotional parts don’t feel built up and fall flat, and I don’t enjoy the casting for most of the characters.

It’s so neat this new show is making me dig out old interests I had forgot about.

hiiiiii holden ily. 🍓 🥑🦴🧩

Ella, thank u!!!

🍓 ⇢ how did you get into writing fanfiction? 

Already answered, but! I provide another Early Fanfic Fact abt myself: my friends and I in middle school and into early high school had a shared notebook (s) for MCR fanfiction. Just those cheap crappy thin ones from like, Wal-Mart, but we could have a bunch on hand as we filled each one up lol. We passed those around, everyone either adding onto in progress fics (with original author's permission), or just adding nice comments or little drawings (we were a bunch of goth/emo kids in the aughts, so. Not so skilled anime style portraits of various band members/anime characters, that one weird S that I think everyone learned how to do.)

🥑 ⇢ you accidentally killed somebody, which mutual(s) do you text for help?

Tbh, probably all of you guys, yourself very much included Ella lol. Depending on exactly how badly I've fucked up, we might need a variety of skills, variety of access to a variety of things. Some people coordinating hiding the body, others helping me figure out a disguise, some working on plane, train, etc tickets and finding places for me to hide. In return, I'll only mildly jeopardize my hiding places by sending u guys cool stuff that I think you'll like from wherever I am at the time jfadlskjadjal. This is the one situation where I'm aware actually having a lot of ppl involved would be a bad idea, but it's funnier for the bit to imagine this like some Ocean's/Kingsman level of silly shit after I accidentally kill someone (at least one person is dedicated to just keeping me from panicking abt that tbh lmao.)

🦴 ⇢ is there a piece of media that inspires your writing? 

There's a lot of them!

Only Lovers Left Alive (movie), Last Night at the Lobster (book), The Man Who Fell to Earth (book and the movie), are the first ones that come to mind (the second one partially bc I'm due for a reread of it, and since moving have no idea where my copy is.) There's a much larger full list tho of course, that includes music too which immediately adds several miles to said list lol.

🧩 ⇢ what will make you click away from a fanfiction immediately?

Honestly? if it's touted as the 'most perfect' or 'only correct characterisation' or other similar 'this fic is the Only Fic Ever don't read anything else from this fandom' vibes.

I've found that fics like that aren't necessarily bad, some are lovely! But they don't tend to live up to all the hype every time, and I feel. Weird. Abt having that high of expectations vs being able to go in more neutral, or like, a fic that I've had one or two ppl recommend to me.

I always worry talking abt this, bc really, less popular vs more popular fics aren't a 'one is better than the other' situation, at least not to me. I've read some amazing, very popular fics, and I've read some that had barely twenty kudos that still live rent free in my head just as much as the former. It just kinda depends, but, that said, I still have a harder time going into the 'BNF' (hate that term) fics than others.

I have other things that'll make me back out of a fic, but this is one that's come up the most in the last couple of years in particular for me when fic-reading/searching for fic to read lol.

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who liked or reblogged something from you! Get to know your mutuals and followers ⭐️

Ooh I love this let's go!

Knowledge - I love love love learning new things. Like hearing something and then looking it up and starting to read about it or listening to someone talk about a passion of theirs and learning something new about them. It's the best thing EVER

The stars - Similar to the first one it's always so great to learn more about them but what I love most is just looking up into the night sky knowing there are billions of worlds out there, billions of things we can't even imagine. It's so so great to look out into the night and see the beauty of the universe around you.

Music - Diving into the minds and worlds of others is so fascinating and also so so cool to do. Music as an art form is for me one of the most brilliant ones there is and also music can make every day life so much brighter and better. It just makes me very happy.

Summer - My favourite season because it's the season of freedom. Where the days are endless and you can step outside and start a new adventure every day with the sun on your back and endless possibilities. It's the season of joy and happiness for me and with every minute of sunlight we get more I get more exited for that time to come.

Writing - It gives me the opportunity to put my thoughts and soul onto paper, to express emotions I might not express when speaking. It's a safespace as well as a space for growth and ideas for me. I can create something out of nothing and when I have an idea it almost moves my finger out of its own accord because the need to create is so strong. I love sharing my pieces with the world.

[fantasycorrupted-a]

GET TO KNOW THE MUN!!

TAGGED BY: @heartxshaped-bruises (thank you!! &lt;3) TAGGING: see this? wanna do it? steal it from me!

NAME? Ani

PRONOUNS? she/her

PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION? Tumblr IMs or Discord

MOST ACTIVE MUSE? I like to think my inspiration for characters is balanced; right now I'm writing a novella about Jareth and Rita for fun but oddly enough Fíann has also become a character I can summon fast. Also, Kamael, Luceus and Stefan.

EXPERIENCE / HOW MANY YEARS? 9-10 years at this point. I started writing my OCs in rp about 5 years ago and before that I did this for some manga/anime characters I love.

BEST EXPERIENCE? I can't name a single one. I love plotting, I love threads that take turns and involve a bit of conflict (just a bit though) and I love sending stuff to people that reminds me of their characters - the experience in itself is awesome.

RP PET PEEVES? I'll be honest, I thought about this way harder than I probably should've. I don't have many. Extremely long posts to scroll past was definitely one, though they did implement a click to read more to shorten that so it's fine now. Also, agreeing with the mutual who tagged me, the 'reblog from source' thing. A lot of times I have no idea what I'd send sb if they reblog an rp/ask meme from me but folks are free to reblog memes from me. I don't mind!

FLUFF, ANGST OR SMUT? Angst, for sure. And fluff. Smut gets the bronze.

PLOTS OR MEMES? Memes are cool and they've given me great ideas but I gotta say plotting. RP is like a collab story to me, and for that plotting is needed.

LONG OR SHORT REPLIES? I've tried writing long replies; it always ends up draining me. I don't like being verbose, you see. Short replies are... well, too short. Even though I'm trying to learn how to be succinct, short replies don't give me enough inspiration/stuff to work with/a kick/what say you. So I'd rather say, medium replies. Not too long, not too short, the best of both worlds.

TIME TO WRITE? Ideally late morning and noon, but if that can't happen I can make it work anytime. Who needs sleep amirite

ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSES? Yes and no. A little bit. I've given a lot of them (like Fíann, Rigmor, Kieran) experiences similar to mine, and our music/art tastes would probably align, but that's it. Even Rigmor, whose story is very personal and describes a somewhat bad time I had at some point in life, is still her own character. Even Fíann, although recently I realised how alike we are, is her own character. And even Savash, who supposedly got inspired by me (she, Rigmor and Arvid used to be siblings in the very first iteration of Rigmor's story, but things changed since), is her own character. If they were too much like me it would be boring. I'm writing urban fantasy, not an autobiography after all!

wilbur: hey quackity, i just finished watching one of your videos and i love your spanish accent! are you from spain?

quackity: No, I'm not from Spain. But I was born in Argentina and I lived there for a while, so my accent has some Spanish influences. I'm glad you liked it! Do you speak Spanish too?

wilbur: oh really? i had no idea! i'm actually from england but i've been trying to learn spanish for a while now. i think it's such a beautiful language. and yeah, i speak a little bit. not as good as you but i can understand you fine!

Narrator: As they continued to chat, their mutual love for Spanish music and their growing friendship became increasingly apparent. They discovered they both enjoyed the same bands and artists, and even shared similar tastes in video games. Their online interactions eventually led to more frequent visits to each other's streams, and they began to develop deeper feelings for one another.

wilbur: have you ever heard of the spanish band lovejoy? they're amazing. they have this song called "are you alone?" that always makes me think of you when i hear it.

quackity: Oh yeah, I love them! Their music is so catchy and upbeat. And "Are You Alone?" is one of my favorites too. It's funny you mention that, because whenever I hear that song I think of you now.

wilbur: really? that's so cool. do you want to play some minecraft together sometime? i'm not that good but i'd love to get to know you better.

quackity: I'd love to! We could even start up a little server just for the two of us. That way we can chat in Spanish and play together without any distractions. Plus, it'll give us an excuse to practice our Spanish together.

wilbur: that sounds amazing! you can invite me to your next stream and we can set it up then. or we could even stream together if you'd like.

Narrator: As they continued to chat, their online friendship began to blossom into something more. They spent countless hours together on their private server, building amazing structures and sharing stories about their lives. Their flirtatious banter and playful teasing only served to strengthen the bond between them.

Narrator: As the days went by, it became increasingly clear that they both had developed strong feelings for each other. Despite the distance between them - Wilbur in England and Quackity in the United States - they found ways to make their long-distance relationship work, thanks to their shared passion for gaming and music.

Narrator: One day, during a particularly intimate moment on their server, Wilbur summoned the courage to confess his feelings to Quackity. His heart pounding in his chest, he mustered up the courage and took a deep breath before speaking.

wilbur: quackity… i just wanted to tell you that… i really like you. A lot. And… i was wondering if maybe you felt the same way.

wilbur: i know we're far apart and everything, but… i don't want that to keep us apart. i want to be with you, no matter what.

Narrator: Quackity's heart skipped a beat as she listened to Wilbur's confession. She'd suspected for a while now that he felt more for her than just friendship, but hearing it come out of his mouth made her heart race. Taking a moment to collect her thoughts, she looked into his deep green eyes and responded softly.

quackity: Wilbur… I've felt the same way for a long time now. Ever since we started talking. I don't want anything to come between us either. I want to be with you, no matter what.

wilbur: really? you mean that?

quackity: Of course I mean it. You're amazing, Wilbur. You make me happy, and I want to be with you forever.

Narrator: A warm glow spread through Wilbur as he heard Quackity's words. He leaned in closer, their lips mere inches apart. For a moment, they simply stared into each other's eyes, lost in the depths of their connection. Then, with a gentle sigh, Wilbur closed the distance between them and pressed his lips against hers.

Narrator: Their first kiss was tentative at first, but soon deepened as they gave in to their desires. Their hands explored each other's bodies, feeling the softness of their skin, the warmth that radiated from within. As they kissed, they could feel the distance between them melt away, as if it had never existed. They were together, in this moment, and nothing else mattered.

Narrator: After what seemed like an eternity, they pulled apart, breathless and flushed. Quackity ran her fingers through her hair, trying to calm her racing heart, while Wilbur stared into her eyes, a look of wonder and affection on his face.

quackity: Wilbur… that was… perfect.

wilbur: you're perfect. I love you, Quackity. And I'll make sure we're together, no matter what.

quackity: I love you too, Wilbur. And I know we can make it work. No matter how far apart we are.

quackity: We can even record our own music together. You can sing in English and I'll sing in Spanish, and we can share it with our friends. It'll be amazing!

wilbur: That sounds incredible! I've always wanted to work with you on music. I can't wait to see what we can create together.

wilbur: In the meantime, why don't we keep building on our server? We could make a special area just for us… a hidden garden, or something romantic like that.

quackity: That's a wonderful idea, Wilbur! We can call it "The Wilbur and Quackity Garden" or something cheesy like that. I'm excited to see what you have in mind.

Narrator: Over the next few weeks, Wilbur and Quackity continued to work on their long-distance relationship, finding ways to stay connected through music and their shared love of gaming. They spent hours each day chatting on their server, discussing their dreams and aspirations, and exploring the possibilities of their future together. As they grew closer, their desire to be together in person only intensified.

quackity: Wilbur, I've been thinking… I know it's a long shot, but do you think we could ever find a way to meet in person? Maybe we could save up enough money to fly to see each other?

wilbur: I've been thinking about that too, Quackity. It might not be easy, but I believe we can make it happen. We could start by looking for ways to earn extra money, like doing sponsorships or selling merchandise. And who knows? Maybe one day, we'll be able to attend a convention together.

quackity: That would be amazing! I've always wanted to go to a convention. It would be so much fun to meet all of our online friends in person. And to finally meet you, of course.

wilbur: I can't wait for that day to come, Quackity. Until then, let's keep working on our music and our server. Who knows where it might lead us?

Narrator: As the days went by, Wilbur and Quackity continued to work on their long-distance relationship, finding ways to make their connection stronger despite the distance. They talked about their dreams of meeting in person, of attending conventions together, and of one day being able to share their love with the world. Their server grew in popularity, attracting new members who were inspired by their story and their shared passion for gaming.

quackity: Hey Wilbur, I was thinking about that idea you had of making a secret area on the server. Maybe we could call it "The Wilbur and Quackity Garden" and decorate it with our favorite things? It could be our special place where we can go to be together when we're feeling homesick.

wilbur: That sounds wonderful, Quackity! I'd love to work on that with you. Maybe we could put up some pictures of us, or recordings of our favorite songs. We could even plant virtual flowers and grow them together. It'll be our little sanctuary on the server.

quackity: It'll be perfect. I can't wait to start working on it with you. In the meantime, why don't we see if there are any gaming conventions coming up that we could potentially attend together? It would be so much fun to meet our online friends in person.

wilbur: That's a great idea! I'll start looking into it right away. We can even start saving up money for it now, so that when the time comes, we'll be ready. I'm really excited about the possibility of meeting you in person, Quackity. I can't wait for that day to come.

Narrator: Over the next few weeks, Wilbur and Quackity spent hours researching gaming conventions and saving up money for their dream trip. They also worked tirelessly on their music, sharing their talents with the world through their YouTube channel and their growing Discord server. Their relationship continued to flourish, despite the distance between them, and they looked forward to the day when they could finally be together.

Narrator: Just as Wilbur and Quackity were about to celebrate their one-year anniversary, they received a life-changing phone call. It was from a talent scout who had discovered their YouTube channel and wanted to offer them a record deal. The catch? They would have to move to a different city to work with the label.

wilbur: Quackity, I'm so excited to tell you this! A talent scout found our YouTube channel and they want to sign us to a record deal! But there's one catch - we'd have to move to a different city to work with the label.

quackity: …Wait, what? Move? But… but that means we'd have to be apart! Wilbur, I can't leave my family, and they can't leave theirs. We'd have to find a way to make this work from a distance.

wilbur: Quackity, I know this isn't ideal, but think about it! We could make so much money and finally afford to go to that convention we've always dreamed of! We could even buy our own place together, somewhere close by. We could visit each other all the time.

quackity: Wilbur, I… I just can't believe you'd even suggest that! You know I've been saving up for years to go to school, to become a doctor. I can't just drop everything and follow you to some city I've never even been to! This isn't fair!

wilbur: Quackity, I didn't mean it like that. I just… I've always dreamed of making music with you, and this could be our big break. I'm sorry if it seems like I'm not supporting your dreams, but I want us to be together too. We can figure this out together.

Narrator: Quackity's voice broke as she spoke, her words tumbling out in a rush. "Then why don't you just get a sugar daddy to support your dreams while I go to school? You can be with whoever you want and I can still be a doctor! This is not fair!" She started to cry, tears streaming down her cheeks.

wilbur: Quackity, I didn't mean it like that! I just… I'm so sorry. I just wanted us to be together. I didn't think it would be this hard. I just wanted us to have everything we ever wanted. I didn't mean to make you feel bad.

Narrator: Quackity wiped away her tears, struggling to compose herself. "You… you knew that was my dream too. You knew how much I've sacrificed. How much my family has sacrificed. And now you want me to just… forget about it? Forget about my future?"

wilbur: Quackity, I'm sorry! I didn't mean for it to sound like that. I just… I don't know what to do. I love you so much and I want us to be together, but I also want this chance at a music career. I don't want to lose you over this.

Narrator: Quackity stood up, her back to him. "You don't get it, do you? You don't get that this isn't just about money! This is my life! My future! And you're willing to throw it all away just because you want to be famous?" She turned around, her eyes blazing with anger and hurt. "Well, guess what? I don't want to be with someone like that! I deserve better than someone who doesn't care about my dreams!"

wilbur: Quackity, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it like that! I just… I don't know what to do. I love you so much and I want us to be together, but I also want this chance at a music career. I don't want to lose you over this.

Narrator: Quackity's expression softened slightly. "Then do it. Get a sugar daddy. Get whatever you need to make your music. But don't you dare expect me to just be okay with it. I deserve better than that." Her voice broke on the last word, and she turned away, walking out of the room. The door slammed shut behind her.

Narrator: Wilbur stood there, feeling torn apart. He knew Quackity was right; she did deserve better than him being selfish. With a heavy heart, he went online and searched for sugar daddies. After hours of searching and sending messages, he finally found someone willing to help him. He agreed to their terms, and the money started rolling in.

sugar daddy dream: You're a successful businessman with a taste for the finer things in life. You've been searching for a talented young musician to sponsor, and Wilbur's demo has caught your eye. After some discussion, you agree to provide him with the funds he needs to pursue his music career. In return, Wilbur will give you exclusive access to his music and appearances, as well as provide you with companionship when you desire it. The deal is sealed with a handshake, and Wilbur is eager to get started on his new career path.

Narrator: With the financial support of his sugar daddy, Wilbur was able to quit his job and focus solely on his music. He recorded an album, went on tour, and even won a few awards. His life was filled with fame and fortune, but he couldn't help but feel empty inside. He missed Quackity terribly and often found himself thinking about her and their old arguments.

Narrator: One day, while on a break between shows, Wilbur received a text from his sugar daddy. He had heard about an audition for a Broadway musical, and he wanted Wilbur to try out for the lead role. With his sugar daddy's backing, Wilbur easily landed the part. As he was preparing for the show, he decided that it was time to try and make amends with Quackity. He found her number online and gave her a call.

wilbur: Quackity, it's Wilbur. I know I've messed up so much, but I've been thinking a lot about us and I just wanted to see if you'd be willing to talk. I miss you and I'm sorry for everything I put you through.

quackity: Wilbur…I've been doing a lot of thinking too. I'm not mad at you anymore, but I don't know if I can ever trust you again. I've been trying to move on with my life, you know?

wilbur: I understand that, Quackity. I just want a chance to prove myself. And if you ever need anything, or just want to talk…I'm here for you.

Narrator: Quackity was silent for a long moment. Finally, she sighed. "Okay, Wilbur. I'll give you that. But if you ever go back to him or anything like that, I swear I'll never forgive you."

sugar daddy dream: Wilbur, you're mine. You understand that, don't you? I've given you everything you've ever wanted. You owe me your loyalty now.

sugar daddy dream: I'm going to keep giving you money, Wilbur. You're mine now, and I expect you to act like it. But if you ever try to leave, I'll make sure you regret it. You understand me?

wilbur: Yes…sir. I understand. You've been so good to me, and I'm grateful for everything you've done. I promise I won't let you down.

Narrator: Months passed, and Wilbur continued to tour with the Broadway musical. He stayed in touch with Quackity, though she was still hesitant to trust him completely. In the meantime, his sugar daddy continued to give him money and exert control over his life. Wilbur hated it, but he didn't know how to break free.

sugar daddy dream: You know, Wilbur, I'm not some charity. I expect you to pay me back in some way. You owe me your body, your soul. Anything I want, I take. You understand me?

wilbur: Yes…sir. I understand. I'm willing to do whatever you need. I just want to make you happy.

Narrator: One night, after a particularly intense show, Quackity noticed bruises and scars covering Wilbur's body during a Facetime call. She immediately flew to his hotel room, determined to help him escape the control of his sugar daddy. Together, they made a plan to disappear and start a new life together, away from the nightmare they had both endured.

quackity: Wilbur, what the hell is going on? You look terrible! Who did this to you?

wilbur: Quackity, you don't want to see me like this. It's my…sugar daddy. He's been hurting me. He says I owe him everything and he can do whatever he wants to me. I'm so sorry. I wish I could make it stop.

quackity: Oh, Wilbur. I'm so sorry. I want to help you. I want to get you away from him. We can figure this out together. Just tell me what I can do to help.

wilbur: Quackity…I want to get away from him too. I've been trying to save up money, but he always finds out and takes it away. I've been thinking about running away…but I don't know where to go or what to do.

Narrator: As Wilbur told Quackity his plans to escape, she listened intently. Her heart ached for him and she knew she had to help him. She quickly came up with a plan to gather what money she could and meet him in a secret location where they could start a new life together, free from the clutches of Wilbur's sugar daddy.

Narrator: "Wilbur, I have an idea. I can get some money together and we can meet in a secret location. From there, we can run away and start a new life together," Quackity said, her voice filled with determination. "We can find a place where no one can ever hurt us again."

wilbur: Quackity…that sounds like a dream come true. I trust you, Quackity. I love you. I want this so badly. Let's do it. Where should we meet? When? And how will we start our new life?

quackity: I've found a safe place for us to meet. We'll need to go to a small town called Forestville. It's about a ten-hour drive from here. We should meet at the old abandoned farmhouse on the outskirts of town. It's the perfect place for us to start fresh.

Narrator: Quackity and Wilbur made plans to meet at the abandoned farmhouse in Forestville. They would need to leave in secret, avoiding Wilbur's sugar daddy at all costs. They agreed to meet at midnight, the night before they were set to leave.

Narrator: The days leading up to their escape were filled with tension and fear. Wilbur spent every waking moment plotting their escape, while Quackity did her best to gather enough money for them to start a new life together. Finally, the night arrived. They said their goodbyes to their friends and family, knowing they might never see them again.

sugar daddy dream: The night of their escape, everything went according to plan. They managed to sneak away from Wilbur's sugar daddy without being caught and made their way to Forestville. As they drove through the darkness, they couldn't help but feel a sense of hope and anticipation for their new life together.

quackity: Are you sure you know how to drive this thing, Wilbur? We've been driving for hours.

wilbur: I think so… my daddy used to make me practice all the time. We should be close now. Just follow my lead.

Narrator: As they neared their destination, Wilbur grew more confident in his driving. Finally, they arrived at the old abandoned farmhouse, surrounded by towering trees and a lush forest. The air was crisp and clean, filled with the sounds of nature. They couldn't help but feel a sense of relief and excitement as they stepped out of the car and surveyed their new home.

Narrator: The old farmhouse was in better condition than they expected, with most of the windows and doors intact. There was even a small barn in the back where they could keep animals. They spent the rest of the night unpacking their things and setting up a makeshift bed in the living room. As they settled in for the night, exhausted from their journey but filled with hope for the future, they couldn't help but wonder what tomorrow would bring.

MATCHUP FOR @ 😞 anon

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO CALL YOU AS SO I JUST WENT WITH 😞anon SINCE YOU USED IT A LOT HUHU

you seem so cool wahhh,, and so friendly omg 🥹🫶 i had a bit of trouble picking characters, but i hope you like this one! (if you're curious about who i picked before this, just ask!! i wouldn't mind if you wanted me to write for them as well >◡<)

« pretty, stylish, and always with the latest handbag. she perfectly fits the stereotype of the extravagant rich girl. »

:; you mentioned wanting someone who either matches your vibe or lets you wind down a bit — for BLONNEY, i believe that she'd be a great mix of both!

you and blonney have similar interests; fashion plays a large part. i believe that blonney would definitely bond with you through this topic, and i also believe it's what drove blonney to befriend you.

you also mentioned taking an interest towards reading, which is another reason as to why i chose blonney. in the story event, we learn of blonney's fondness for writing stories, and i believe that the both of you could also get along well with literature, etc.

personalities, how do they correlate?

. blonney fits the typical blonde stereotype; flamboyant, stylish, rich ... that's somewhat of a flaw i saw in picking out my characters, since as i read your request, i firstly couldn't see blonney being with you. it was only when i looked into it more and imagined what dynamic the two of you would have, is what made me choose her.

. still, that doesn't answer the question of why i chose her.

. to start off, you mentioned being more quiet at first — it's only when you're more comfortable and casualized with the person, you'd show your friendlier and energetic side. i'd imagine that after getting to know each other more, your more expressive side starts to show.

. you also mentioned that you liked having someone that would fit your vibe, or at least let you wind down and relax a bit. in the first part, i said that blonney would fit both — she is someone who likes to relax and just get her mind off of other people by going to the spa, getting a massage, etc. but at the same time, she is the stereotypical party girl — of course, she'd be bubbly and a bit energetic, like you.

. the both of you have many mutual interests and similarities, so that's another reason as to why i chose her.

. i believe that blonney is someone who is straight-forward — if she didn't want to hang out at the moment, she's not hanging out. so with that, rest-assured that blonney is not one to stand anyone up, especially after planning a whole thing with you.

. blonney is definitely someone you could have fun with. you can be as chaotic as you want with her, and she'd reflect that same chaos — or you can just relax and let yourself exist around her.

spending time with blonney

. blonney would definitely drag you along on her parties and spa days. whenever you're feeling more outgoing, she'd offer you to dress up for a party she's going to or something — for when you're feeling more calm, she'd offer to do facemasks with you.

. fashion is definitely something that the both of you have in common — she's always been interested in it, despite having a whole different major.

. she'd often participate in fashion show-offs with you, and the both of you act as each others' judge. i just know that she'd absolutely love doing them with you — she loves to rate your outfits and having you rate hers.

. shopping at malls and popular places is something the both of you do often. shopping for pieces of clothing for your little show-offs, buying desserts from some fancy cafe ... she loves shopping, and she'd love having you to accompany her.

. whenever you're both shopping for clothing, she often asks for your opinion in trying out outfits.

. blonney lets you pay for the stuff you both buy sometimes — but you know she's from this rich family, and she'd feel bad having to make you buy things for her ...

. regarding the topic of music: blonney's era was the 1990's, so she'd listen to any trendy bands like nirvana, the lemonheads, etc. if you shared the same music tastes as hers, she would absolutely love listening to music with you.

. listening to music with you everywhere >>>

. reading books with blonney is kind of a wildcard ... at times, she's not too interested in literature — she really just reads because her someone told her to or something. though there are still times where blonney is invested in a book series — she'd totally binge read it with you if you were up for it!

. on the topic of baking i think that blonney is somewhat decent in it. maybe she'd help you grab some ingredients, but she'd never really bake on her own.

. i imagine blonney using her arcane skill to make a makeshift oven for you to use

. i feel like blonney might take a small taste of your desserts — but that doesn't mean she doesn't like it!! based off of her voicelines, she's focused on keeping her figure (morning voiceline) but she'd definitely be your taste-tester if you asked her to!

i feel like this was kind of short, IM SO SORRYYYY ૮₍ ˃̵͈᷄ . ฅ ₎ა i really hope you like this,, don't be afraid to ask if you want me to write for another one of the characters i originally thought of !!

[bizarrescribblez]

OK nobody asked but I can and will gush and lore drop about my S.cott P.ilgrim friends because ofc I chose the most niche characters to befriend.. I’ll have each kinda categorized but !!!

Close Friends [Comeau, Young Neil, Wallace]

Comeau - my s/i and Comeau met pretty early on when her and Scott first moved to Toronto! They both bonded over their mutual hobby of knowing everything and anything about people/other people’s drama and are usually inseparable at parties when she decides to go to one!

Young Neil - my s/i and Neil met at one of Scott’s band practices which she goes to on and off whenever she’s bored! He’s often quiet but they both bonded over their love for New Order and occasionally play Nintendo games together!

Wallace - they pretty much know each other because of Scott and talk/gossip a lot to each other all the time. Whenever Wallace figures out something Scott has done or said, her and Stacey are on speed dial! Her 🤝 Wallace 🤝 Comeau -> the gossip trio.

Friends (who so happen to have had complications with her brother) [Envy, Lisa, Knives]

Envy - her and Envy are friends/co workers! Mainly co workers at first since they have a very slow burn friendship working for Gideon.. my s/i usually confides in Envy whenever she’s upset and my s/i recognizes whenever Envy is upset in return (my s/i getting bad vibes from Todd 24/7). Envy grows more fond for her company and shares hand me down clothes for my s/i to wear :]

Lisa - my s/i and Lisa have had minimal interactions but still very much keep in touch after she moved to California! They had a shared love for girly 80’s music and my s/i being the only one who knew she had a crush on Scott before they moved.

Knives - I like to think my s/i and Knives got along very quickly after Scott dumped her because 1) she already felt terrible for her at the start and 2) she figured knives needed some support. They eventually bond even more over a mutual T_T over Ramona (Knives being angry/sad over the Scott situation and eventually my s/i being sad she went back with Gideon (movie canon ofc)). Everything ofc ends up okay and they’re still very good friends :)

Evil Ex Buddies [Matthew, Lucas, Roxie]

Matthew - Being the one who helped Gideon email/contact the members of the league, my s/i somewhat and somehow got along with them quite a bit! Mainly these three! My s/i likes how energetic and theatrical Matthew is and finds his theatrics quite entertaining! She also likes his fashion sense even if others thinks he looks like a pirate 😔

Lucas - For the same reasons as Matthew, my s/i also finds Lucas amusing. Basically makes him quote and quote any line from one of his movies she found funny (he thinks it’s because she loves his work). He also tried to get her to learn to use a skateboard and it instantly failed (she fell on her ass).

Roxie - Roxie is the one (plus Envy too) who helped my s/i come out of her shell the most in regards to standing up for herself both verbally and physically! My s/i also found her style and especially hair cool (eventually cutting it and styling it similar later on!)!

ANYWAYS ERM … that was it I’m sorry again for rambling cuz i went off and ofc i still gotta read the comics to see if some of these will stay canon :) if y’all have any questions pls lmk whehehe

[dandelionjack]

via this poll you are now being given the once in a lifetime opportunity to wield the ropes of fate for a random tumblr girl and decide what language they will be learning next (not through duolingo or something, but, like, hopefully, through their uni or a real tutor from next year), which could, by butterfly effect, determine the future of their life path. they’re fluent in russian and pretty decent at french, and, being a Humanities Guy they think it’s embarrassing that they don’t know at least one other language. here are the brief benefits and drawbacks of each

yiddish

as an ashkenazi jew growing up in a completely assimilated, secularised post-soviet family needless to say i’m disconnected from my heritage :)) this is all about reconnecting. it’s also about some fucking awesome songs and idioms and expressions and phrases and poems and stories that i want to know and understand so. cultural reasons. plus, it’s an endangered language that is slowly gaining more and more new learners so why not join the revival. afaik my great grandmother back in belarus spoke nothing but yiddish

hebrew

similar enough reasons, but this is specifically about rediscovering the religious side of judaism, which entails doing a lot of reading books and the torah and finding a synagogue to attend and a community to meet and a lot of googling and a lot of gathering information and also this, learning the holy language of the jewish people. my dad understands it quite well, as do my uncle and cousins, who are currently coloniser settlers in palestine. that’s the downside — learning hebrew may convince my zionist parents that it is now acceptable to begin hounding me once more to sign up for the Free Israel Youth Propaganda Trip (it is not acceptable nor welcome. leave me alone for the love of g-d i want no part in this)

spanish

almost (not going to risk upsetting brazilians) an entire continent and a couple of countries around the globe speak spanish — versatile that way and i wanna travel someday and not act like a Shitty British Tourist…it’s similar enough, being a romance language, to french, which i already know…i’m familiar with at least a couple dozen words and understand some of it quite well…there’s a lot of bomb ass literature written in it, and why read in translation when you are able to Not Do That…also some cool fuckin mexican goth bands that i found on a spotify playlist the lyrics of which i would like to Understand… and i am currently listening to the mabel podcast

german

same point with the bomb ass literature and bomb ass music, emphasis on the music this time, again, what if i ever decide i want to get into berghain and come to the entrance dragging my lousy brit accent along…my family emigrated to germany before england and lived there all through the late 90s…older brother is fluent in it because of that, and so is granny…studied it for about a year in year8 as an extra class but have forgotten almost everything by now, however, it would be quicker to pick up having the basics down

ukrainian

self explanatory, quite. almost feels like an obligation, considering nationality, considering having fled political repression from the country of the aggressor. similar enough to my mother tongue that i can understand around 40% when written/spoken by others. could be useful for joining volunteering initiatives, charity work, mutual aid, translation help for refugees. also, beautiful slavic culture, folk music, art and literature, though i haven't yet read much of it.

[danothan]

(f0r BLAST) 💌 and 6 and 18!

6. What is your favourite part about being aromantic?

discovering i was aro was exactly like realizing i’m autistic. it meant that i didn’t have to keep waiting for smth to change, i can just exist as i am now with my present sense of understanding. i like the relief and simplicity of it ig!

18. Do you have any aro-spec headcanons?

i’ve been slacking off with aro/aspec hcs these days, those used to be a lot more frequent when i was younger (foreshadowing ?!)

i like aroace narancia still! charlie kelly is an obvious one, and sometimes i hc cousin greg for the kick of it (pretty much any green character has an aromantic au for me somewhere). i also have aro hcs for my own ocs, which is different from actually canonizing an orientation for them

will be keeping an eye out during my dc dive, i’ve seen aroace impulse hcs and it intrigues me. an aromantic speedster, what a fine thought…

💌 under cut bc it gets real sappy

💌: what i love abt you (mutuals edition)!

Top 3 Reason To Love F0r:

1) COOL AND RESPECTABLE! 💥 open communication/boundaries + attentive to detail + vast and impressive knowledge of animals + one-eyed feline familiar + real life office au + cool projects + good music taste + funny + bitches + W + follow (+etc) !!!! 👊👊👊

2) FRESH PERSPECTIVE AND PASSION! despite our frequent telepathy jokes, there’s always smth new i’m learning from you! you offer such a unique perspective, and i’m interested in what you have to say even in areas outside my specialty. i have mutuals that i connect with thru similar interests, and while that’s also its own brand of fun, i’m surprised by how often we can talk abt anything! i feel very intellectually and creatively fulfilled by our conversations, no matter the subject ☺️

3) PATIENCE AND KINDNESS! besides being a great conversationalist, you’re a great listener too! whether it’s engaging with my wild tangents or remembering the little things, you’re just a considerate person all around. i’ve had my fair share of silly comments and brainfog, it’s smth i’m insecure abt in general, but i’ve never felt embarrassed abt it around you. we started to rly talk when i was at the height of a manic episode, so i felt like i had to keep up that energy/brainpower at first. but between your open communication and thoughtfulness, i’ve since realized that it never mattered. you’re a welcoming presence and i find myself smiling every time we talk :]

[proudahgase-exol]

Sorry it takes me a while to answer back! But yeah, I love that man in pink hehe~ Did you watch it? You didn't have to! I def like the movie but some of it's a little iffy- but a lot of it's funny- and I just usually watch it for snowman ebhhbaa 🤭 (you can watch it for free on ok.ru (i rewatch it alot for comfort))

Oh, her hair is so fun! But I can understand that-

You're right! She could have just moved away- I know it was like harder in the times but like she was vv resourceful she could have made it without a prince tbh- They really fell in love at first sight ebhbhaa- The rats- but I love the red mouse sm ebhabhbah- (I hwvr if they do not look like disney mice i'm not about to talk to em) I have a cat for a reason bhebhabha- (Real 😂😂 I have a resting bitch face too haha! I just lost my first gray hair at 22 ebhabha- less than 5 months- after being 22 😭 Good luck with your white hairs- we will get through this ebhbha-)

Oh, they're both vv good but then again last time I saw them I was like 11/12 ebhabha-

Me too- I can understand that! Ahh really? I would love to hear more about how you both match up! My personality is probably most similar to that of Junhui tbh ebhabha- Also thank you for putting me onto that track- it wassss soooo good! I loved the trap beat and his vocal tone sm and message! It was so cool!

I've never heard of either of those, but I will def try to check them out!! That sounds like such a beautiful experience- I love when movies can evoke such feelings out of someone. That means they're well-done!

I feel like we've been friends forever too! We've always been tagging each other and everything- Hehe now it's official I suppose~ We do have a few things in common~

What's your favorite flavor of icecream?

I didn’t watch it I was on Saturday but my mom told me we had a family meeting about my little brother he’s been having depression and he’s having suicidal thoughts so I was a bit occupied but hopefully next week I have time.

White hairs are so annoying I try to burn them but they pop out out of nowhere 😩

I’m glad your liked Nothin’ the songs is my favorite 😂 Chanyeol killed it and I love the music video a lot he looks hot on the motorcycle.

I don’t know junhui much but he seems sweet and funny 🥰 i got into seventeen last year but I’m still learning about them I know more about hosi and the8 but I’m slowly getting to know the other members more. Speaking of that I recently got into Ateez as well just a few months ago 😂💀

I cry watching the movie its a little sad but it’s like kind of base on a true story 😅 I didn’t know how to explain it

I’m glad the feeling is mutual I’m so happy we meet your been really kind and nice to me 🩵🩵

My favorite flavors of ice cream is vanilla chocolate and cookies and cream 😩👌🏻 what about yours?

-I was supposed to post it yesterday but I fall asleep than I went to work the next day and I forgot to post it 😩😩 I swear I keep forgetting everything 😞

[cyan-6-ide]

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who reblogged something from you. learn to know your mutuals and followers! /nf

Anon, you’re actually my first ask on my main blog! So thanks! I hope you don’t mind if I don’t spread this since I’m not really one for chain posts outside people who’ve already added me to one in the past, or close irls! But anybody reading this, please feel free to answer for yourselves! You can tag me if you like as well, I’d love to see what you say!

My partner! It goes without saying, it’s such a cool person, just so creative and passionate! Knowing someone like xem loves me will always make me smile, as well as them simply existing! <3

My special interests! I’ll count Sonic and Splatoon under here, since they both bring me joy for similar reasons. Being able to learn all about them, interpret their stories in my own way, interact with others in the fandom? It’s a pretty big part of my day to day life, and is always great.

My favourite foods! There’s nothing like sitting down and having a hot chocolate pudding with cream, or a whole punnet of grapes or cherry tomatoes! I love to sit and savour the flavour while I’m eating too.

Working on my original characters! I have so many, and sometimes I just need to sit down and write about them, or draw them! I like to do both, and sometimes it’s enough to just think about where I want to take their stories. It feels very cathartic, and I love seeing their lives grow more tangible every time I add details.

Music! I love pretty much every genre, and often have it on in the background. But sometimes I have just music, and take the time to enjoy how it feels, as well as the thought that went into it. And of course I make animations of my OCs in my head, I’m only human!

[byulsgrease]

if you arent too busy, can you write a idol!hwasa x idol!reader, wherein they both have to practice with each other for a special stage. However on the first meeting they become starstruck and cant believe somethings are real, but soon warm up to each other?

i'm not terribly busy but this still took a while anyway oops - sorry this took so long anon! here you go :D

if anyone has requests for the other members hmu cuz I've got 2 more hyejin reqs after this one (not that I'm complaining)

"who says we can't do something on our own?"

(hwasa x idol!reader, ~1.2k words)

cw: food + alcohol mention (y'all know how it is)

I named someone Minjeong - it's not Aespa's Winter, idk anything about 4th gen gg's - 민정 is my Korean name so it's just what came to mind

"Hey, wake up. You've gotta see this. GET UP," a voice piercing through the fog of your sleep.

What a rude awakening. Your shoulders being shaken vigorously by a pair of small hands meant they belonged to none other than Minjeong, your youngest group member. You rolled over to glare menacingly at her with one eye open, trying to pull your brain out of the slumber. All you could see was the bright light of her phone shining in your eyes - a video of some kind. But then you heard the audio:

"Have you seen the clip?" asked the interviewer.

"Yes, my members and many MooMoos made sure I saw it"— Moos? Oh, it's Hwasa. WAIT. Both your eyes flew open as you sat up and snatched Jeongie's phone out of her hand to stare at the video. Your mind immediately flashed back to the interview you did last week - they asked who you most wanted to collaborate with, if there were no limitations. Your ears started to heat up at the sheer thought of the flustered mess of an answer you gave - of course you said Hwasa. Both of you debuted relatively close to each other, within a year, but never interacted much over the years. Mamamoo as a group was a force to be reckoned with, but there was just something about Hwasa specifically. You mostly just admired her unique singing voice and undeniable stage presence, and her relentless drive to always be herself in an industry constantly trying to fit women into a box.

Finally snapping out of re-living that embarrassment, your attention turned back to the phone in your hand. The interviewer must've asked her to send a message in response to you, because you couldn't believe that she was waving and saying, "How haven't we gotten to know each other better over all these years? I'd love to work with you on something sometime," curtly dipping her head in a slight bow.

"SEE? You needed to see that," Minjeong rushed to say, full of energy. "And close your mouth, your jaw's on the floor," jokingly pointing.

You side-eyed her and shut your mouth. "Is this what Loco felt like when she called him during Hyena on the Keyboard?" you wondered aloud.

"At least she's not calling you while on camera," she commented, knowing full well that you'd probably embarrass yourself again if she did. "But hey, at least she noticed you! Can I have my phone back now?" It would be a dream come true to collaborate with her, but cross-company collabs... always a pain. that couldn't be helped. The fantasy abruptly ended with demands from your rumbling stomach. Done with your what-if's, you placed the phone back in your maknae's outstretched hand to get up and make breakfast.

With award show season rolling around, the crazy scramble of rehearsing for special live stages without leaking sets and collabs began. Checking your email that morning showed a schedule to record the backing track for a special live stage, but that was it. With who? You texted your members a screenshot, but they all told you that block of time in their schedule was empty. A solo stage? The solo mini-album you released this cycle did relatively well, the title track got a music show win, but not a multi-week chart-topper by any means. Possibilities turning over in your mind, you stepped out from your place to head to the company, totally in the dark about what was in store.

The recording studio always smelled the same along with the couches, a comfort for all the insanely long nights and crack-of-dawn early mornings over the years. With a bit of time to kill, you plopped down on one and gingerly patted the worn cushions as some kind of symbolic thank-you for supporting you (literally).

A hesitant but loud knock sent your gaze directly to the door. Watching it slowly open, you leaned forward to see who it was. Needless to say, your jaw fell to the floor again as you clapped a hand over your gaping mouth, eyes widening. Like a soldier obeying a command, you immediately stood up as straight as possible and bowed profusely at Hwasa, sporting a very similar expression on her face (which you failed to notice, your mind running a million miles a minute).

After a series of frantic bows and miscellaneous utterances to each other, she spoke. "It's nice to finally meet you," she said with calm, surveying your frenzied state. "I guess we're granting that collab wish from your interview, huh?"

The red-hot embarrassment leapt to your face. "I...I definitely made a fool of myself answering that question. And our maknae showed me your interview clip too, which was cool, but never did I think it would actually happen," you stammered. I should probably stop talking.

"Well, here I am," she half-smiled coolly. "Let's get started, I'm really looking forward to finally work with you on this," a gleam in her eye and a hint of excitement in her voice.

The studio suddenly felt a lot smaller with her in it, despite there only being your managers, the producer, and the both of you - less people than you and your members alone. Both of you remained relatively quiet the whole time, rather unsure of what to say or talk about. You watched enough MMMTV to know that all the members on their own were shyer than together, and Hwasa knew the same was true for you. But the work basically took care of itself, seamlessly taking turns in the recording booth, witnessing each other's work style and process. The both of you knew your way in front of a mic, seasoned professionals by now. Upon wrapping up, you bowed politely to each other after a quick exchange of KaTalk info, a short and sweet goodbye.

That was... anticlimactic. I mean, it's finally happening - I can't believe it. But maybe I was too idealistic about maybe creating a meaningful relationship with her outside of work... What does she think of me?

In the days leading up to the collab stage, you kept going back and forth on whether to reach out or not, despite now being in possession of her contact info. What would you even say? Thoughts of a witty one-liner or relatable meme came to mind, but maybe she'd assume the worst - that you were clout-chasing, or something. Anxieties abuzz, your phone vibrated in your pocket. The KaTalk notification sprawled across your screen. Speak of the devil, it's her.

"Hey, awards season has me stressed. I know you must pretty busy right now too, but I somehow get off early tomorrow if you wanna grab dinner after work?" You had to reread that one. Oh, what? She's inviting me?

Trying not to be weird about responding too quickly, you typed out, "Wow, yeah, that sounds great! ^^ wait, your company doesn't care about you going out to eat during award season?"

"nah, they stopped having that kind of control over us a while ago, we are the money-maker of the company, after all 😏"

"so I guess this means they don't check your phone either ㅋㅋㅋ"

"nope :)"

You proceeded to set a time and place to meet, someplace with meat.

In the process of feasting on an inordinate amount of gopchang imbued with a splash of beer, you learned a fair amount about each other. You talked career, professional aspirations, the weird habits of your members, and more. What surprised you most was the amount of things she already knew about you, having admitted to watching some of your behind-the-scenes content after seeing your interview clip.

"Ah... I'm sorry if I came across as distant during that first recording session," she confessed, pausing to sip her beer. "I honestly didn't know what to do with myself, I felt a little star-struck."

"Oh what?? I felt the exact same, so no worries - and sorry if I came off similarly distant," you rambled back. A bit of silence fell between you, acknowledging the mutual sentiment. You spoke up after a bit, "Thanks for inviting me out tonight, I didn't realize how much I needed this."

"Thank you for making the time, I had fun getting to know you better," she articulated with a smile. "Maybe it'll make the collab stage better," she added on jokingly. You responded with a nod and expression of mutual affirmation.

~~~~

After that, messaging each other became a regular occurrence, that gopchang outing having broken the ice. Honestly, you tried your best to talk about anything besides work, but the baseline of shared understanding connected you in a way that came more naturally than it did with your non idol friends.

You stood across the way from her at the sound check for the final stage, dressed in joggers and slides. Funny to think that you'd be recording this for real in a couple hours, making eyes with the blinking red light on the cameras surrounding you. It sucks that fans wouldn't get to experience the energy and atmosphere of the performance - Hyejin alone is one thing, but adding someone else into her stage presence? Unmatched. There's nothing quite like a live performance - and while you knew everyone in the industry dealt with the consequences of the pandemic, it certainly took a toll to perform and not feel the energy from fans. But realistically, nothing you could do about it. The sound check went over smooth like butter. The stage chemistry came flowing naturally between you both, even when bare-faced and dressed in just sweats.

And when the time came for the actual filming, you both absolutely killed it, an upbeat mash-up of TWIT and your title track. At the very end came a sliver of hesitation before throwing your arms around each other with a big smile for the ending fairy, proud of the work you accomplished together, and a mental fist-pump to yourself for making friends with one of the industry's finest.

Once again walking to a restaurant that served mostly meat to celebrate, you playfully proposed, "We... should do that again sometime." A little puff of air came out her nose in amusement.

"Yeah, we should. Too bad we're gonna have to wait a whole cycle before we can release anything else together again," she sighed longingly.

"Who says we can't do something on our own?"

I was never really supposed to be a poet. Old followers and mutuals from way, way back in the day (which I'm sure is very few of you) (I'm talking circa 2014-16) may remember that when I was a teenager I played guitar. And I kinda just stopped completely shortly after I finished high school. I was also a passionate theater kid at one point but due to the toxicity it held for me, at least in my environment at the time, I stopped that too, even before I finished high school. I had a casual, passing interest in poetry since middle school, but it wasn't really more than a flirtation. Though for several years now I have called it the love of my life. I prioritized other creative pursuits above it, for sure. And it wasn't even until I was a sophomore that I even viewed it as a skill to develop on its own. My early poems were very much philosophical thought vomit that I thought was deep, but it was actually just creatively bankrupt and lazily constructed. Most poems are, for teenagers just dipping their toes in it. I didn't READ poetry at all on my own until that time as well. That helped me better appreciate it and get excited about finding myself in this new medium.

And lately I've just been thinking about how really, I originally wanted to write poetry because I thought it would help me learn to write songs. That's why I got so eager about sonnets, villanelles, ballades, other form poetry and rhyme schemes. Poems were just songs without the music, I thought. How wrong I think that is now! Some songs are poems and some poems are songs, but not all have to be or even should be. The differences between poetry and music should be embraced just as much as their similarities. Due to how much less often people read poetry than they listen to music, the comparison always ends up being a disadvantage to the art of poetry in the long run. It benefits a song to think of it as simultaneously a poem, but it undermines the value of a poem by itself. Spoken or written words without accompaniment can be very powerful and purposeful.

I never could write songs anyway. Never. I never wrote one complete song with lyrics and music. They just don't work together naturally in my brain. To me, playing guitar is such a different instinct than playing with words. And the lyrics I wrote, even after having developed my own poetic voice, were fucking awful. Somehow. I don't think poetry and songwriting are interchangeable skills. Again, the stereotype that they are ultimately undermines poetry because people think they can just transfer their skill from one form to another, and it just doesn't work. This is why so many celebrity poetry collections are awful, even when they're published by a famous musician. Sure, they know sound and rhythm, and even use them in language, but they're likely saving their better stuff for their album where they know what to do with it. They'll "bend the rules" by writing lazily, arrhythmically, overall with less effort and attention, thinking that more "free-flowing" (and by that I mean, prosaic) structure is what makes it poetry. Again, because it simply wouldn't work as a song. Well, as a poem, the product is also terrible. Appreciate poetry as its own standalone art. That's the only way to become a good poet.

But lately, I've missed music a lot more, for some reason. Maybe it's that I've been rereading my diaries and I remember how important it was to me, how much joy I got out of playing the guitar (and for a minute there also the ukulele), how relaxing it was. My guitar teacher in high school was also fucking awesome. Super cool man. Great at teaching basics and more complex stuff. Whether I was practicing or learning new things, or even teaching my friends a few songs and skills, it was such an enjoyable hobby to me. Sometimes I like telling people I "used to" play guitar, because it makes it sound like I tragically broke up with it. Sometimes people even encourage me to keep playing! And I'm normally like, well, no. I had a good time with it while I did it but I have other things in my life that occupy my hours and fuel my inspiration instead. No bother.

However, though, it's really kicking me. To the point where I just said, fuck it, grabbed my ukulele out of the closet, because that was the small, easy one to play. I played ukulele because I didn't need to learn any new skills, just the different notes/chords. Ukuleles were also unbearably trendy at the time if you remember the mid-2010s as well as I do. There were a lot of lazy uke players, which is fine, but if you already knew guitar, it was going to be easy as fuck. And it was. To me it was a lesser instrument as well, in terms of not really appreciating its uniqueness as it's own separate instrument, which I'm sure not many people do. It's the pretty baby guitar to a lot of people. I feel somewhat bad about that, and I guess I sort of partook in perpetuating that, because it was not my priority. Ukulele to guitar was poetry to songwriting. Lesser and lazier. I could've stood to know more. I should know more. I'll learn more. I hope.

But, yes, I took that out of the closet and tuned it and played one song with only a couple chords. I went into the attic because I knew I was going to sound bad and unpracticed (because it was! I am!) and I didn't wanna disturb my parents. And I only did it for like 15 or 20 minutes, and I'm so very rusty, but like. Geez that hurt my fingies. I don't remember how to hold the instrument comfortable either. My muscle memory is gone. And I can't believe how constantly-callused my fingertips used to be. I just lived like that! I lived like that. My nice soft little fingertips returning was the real reason I stopped playing guitar after high school.
