Fanfiction Recommendation (and a little reviews)

This time i will try to review(?) some sungbri fanfictions i’ve been binge reading since last year. I’ve been itching to do this. I actually crave more, especially the canon compliant ones, but i have to limit myself to keep my sanity. Also i need more fic about sungbriwoon family with parent sungbri and baby/son doun. Or sungbri and jjp in one fic, ugh why i can't find one? It always jjp as side characters but these two never in the same scene. Am I the only one that likes seeing these two pairing together?

OK, I'll start now. Since english isn't my first language it will be messy. But the fanfictions I will review(?) is mostly in english bcus reading fanfictions in my own language makes me cringe >ᴗ< but i’ll also review them (in my own language), one or two that i really like. Also mostly they are from AO3, so yeah. To the writers that their fic i review(?) here, if you found this, please forgive me if this essay offends you or something, i didn't intend to. Oh, to inform you guys (who?) I'm not a fan of the “switch” couple, I'm a “top!sungjin-bottom!brian/youngk” truther (bcus there's no way someone with major babygirl behavior is a top). So, the fanfictions are limited to that. This will be a long list. Let's get started!

[redacted] by anonymous (idk who). 2021. Teen and Up. Chaptered. Completed. Alternative Universe. Youtuber. A story about youtube mukbanger sungbri one-sided rivalry. This is not the first sungbri fic i read, but this is the first i bookmarked. Maybe most of you have read this. I really love the story. I am actually not a fan of enemies/rivals to lovers but I had so much fun reading this, and keep re-reading. The story, the characterization, also the kangwondo dynamic, the best! The tiny ‘off’ from this fic (for me) is why would kangwondo text each other when they live under the same roof? I mean, yes their dynamic is fun to read, but I still don't get this kind of concept. But that doesn't make the fic bad. Overall is good. ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

take my hand, don't ever let go by anonymous (idk who). 2021. Teen and Up. Chaptered. Completed. Alternative Universe. A story about fox hybrid youngk and restaurant owner/chef sungjin against the world or the governor and youngk adoptive parents, specifically. Wow, just this is a major spoiler for ones who haven't read this. But i believe most of you have read it. I love the world building also the characters dynamic. The slow burn from strangers to friends to lovers is aju nice! My favorite is jaepil dynamic, i really like detective parkjaehyung character here he's really cool and fun. Also, even not the major theme, i can still feel the thrill. I keep re-reading. Need to protect fox hybrids!

choice of convenience by sbanon. 2020. Teen and Up. Chaptered. Completed. Alternative Universe. This is the best fic (for me) that 'sums up' sungbri relationship irl. I always get the arranged marriage couple vibe from them, just add the drama and BOOM!! The writer didn't miss brian simping over sungjin agenda, it’s everywhere in the fic. Sungjin’s character is too tough and stoic, like a typical cold-hearted first male lead in k-drama, but it’s perfect for the plot and the drama. Because brian will shower and soften him with his unconditional love. The eternal sunshine is melting the tough guy character. Too bad we don't get doun as their adoptive son here. Overall it is perfect and the best. ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

Sbanon’s short fic collection. 2020-2021. Mature. Alternative Universe and Canon compliant. Here are my favorites: ✮ Urs. Friends with benefits to lovers. Angst with a happy ending. Love it! ✮ shadows and chicken wings. A very soft and domestic night call. Sungjin is away, brian is sleepy and missing his man so badly. ✮ fck me & feed me. Explicit. Wow HOT!! Just brian simping over sungjin agenda, but make it spicy. ( • ᴗ - ) ✧ ✮ it’s because i’m missing you. Just brian/youngk missing sungjin's voice or sungjin in general. ✮ star-crossed. Dramatic brian/youngk antagonize twitter zodiac sign post, kind of.

You and I and Eternity by pandaysal. 2021. Teen and Up. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. This is the one that is similar to gusari's iwaoi doujin "beginning to end" i talked about in my pre-pre-previous essay. The things about soulmate and childhood friends to lovers. I didnt mean it as plagiarism but the concept is so iwaoi. Idk how to word this right. If you ship both iwaoi and sungbri, you'll get what I mean. This fic is beautiful, angst with a happy ending.

you might need to hear this, i need to talk by orphan_account (aw, too bad). 2019. Teen and Up. Oneshot. Canon compliant. Depression and anxiety. Sungin in a storm and brian is there to calm the storm. I love how brian approaches Sungjin and handles the situation even though he’s just waking up. Reading this makes me sad, and hurts me too. But the writer gives it a soft scene for the ending. ദ്ദി ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ )

You know, I know by KlavierRPF (KlavierWrites). 2020. Teen and Up. Oneshot. Canon compliant. Sungbri relationship through 5+1 POV. From subtle pining for each other to lovers.

morning kiss by anonymous (idk who). 2021. Teen and Up. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. One fine morning in sungbri household. Featuring brian's parents and cat. A domestic, cute and soft fic.

everyone wants to find the most beautiful eyes, i just want to comb your hair. By smolcloud. 2023. General. Oneshot. Canon compliant. Stressed brian can’t finish a new song and can't sleep, goes to sungjin for comfort.

Beacon Hills series by anonymous (idk who). 2021-2022. Teen and Up, Mature, Explicit. Completed. Alternative Universe. Urban Fantasy. A story about werewolf sungjin and witch brian/youngk. This one reminds me of demon hunter iwaoi fic that was posted on ao3 too, idk what year it was posted but i believe this sungbri one posted first. I didn't mean it as plagiarism, they are totally two different fics but have similar vibe. Nevermind. Can be called friends to lovers to mates. Not really slow burn, not rushed too, the pace is just right.

GrumpyAsFuck’s fic collection. I really love their fics, I read almost all of them. The way they write, the detailed setting and character physical features (or flaws), the characterization, the push and pull, the suggestive theme, the tension, the punchline, all of them are the best quality ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧. I had a lot of fun everytime reading their stories. Mostly labeled as Mature, i’ll write it if it’s not. Here are some of their fics I really like: ✮ Dans le noir sans ton regard je saurai peut être mieux. A getting together canon compliant fic setting after sungbri D-Day. ✮ Young dumb and prone to public indecency. A story inspired by that famous clip of sungjin's amazing self-control for not grabbing brian/youngk exposed knee. I kept giggling while reading this one. ✮ Hug a bassist day. Just brian/youngk wants to be hugged by sungjin. A really cute fic. ✮ That grow (old) together type love. Domestic sungbri talking about their future after retirement. Sweet but a little angsty. ✮ Whisper it like a secret. A canon compliant fic inspired by brian/youngk shoulders flinched cutely. ✮ Smooth like (shea) butter. Just a lip treatment routine but make it a sungbri kiss fic. ✮ 230719. I call this one “Sungjin The Mosquito Hunter”. Brian/youngk can't sleep and Sungjin helps him. A funny fic with suggestive themes. ✮ 240117 – Busan Rizz. Brian/youngk flirting attempts backfire, kind of. ✮ 240306. I call this one “His Wardrobe”. Sungjin helps brian/youngk dress. This was definitely inspired by brian/youngk showing off he got free access to sungjin’s wardrobe. ✮ Not Crumbs But Hot Cheetos Fine Dust. Explicit. Oneshot collection. Mostly canon compliant. Ahahah idk how to review this, i’m too shy. ( //>///✮ Was gonna love you (But I'm outnumbered). Explicit. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. Fantasy/Magic. Brian/youngk and his harem but all of them are sungjin. (≖⩊≖) ✮ Come sing by the fire with me. Teen and Up. Chaptered. Unfinished. Canon compliant. A secret relationship fic. Or they call it: parksungjjiniya missing episode. ✮ I wanna take you to a. Explicit. Oneshot. Canon compliant-ish Alternative Universe, kind of, idk how to word this right. Post military university student sungbri bonding (intimately). (≖⩊≖) ✮ Place locked away with tears. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. Not K-pop Idol. Halloween fic. Sungjin meets brian/youngk in a motel. Should've been a scary fic but the sadness is unbearable. ✮ No Such Thing As Bad Decisions In Kang Younghyun's Cook Book Of Great Decisions. Oneshot. Canon compliant. I’ll believe this one as the prequel of The Hot Cheetos. Definitely inspired by brian/youngk tmi about visiting sungjin in busan in the predebut era. ✮ Mr. Sandman. Explicit. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. Not K-pop Idol. A steaming hot fic with human sungjin and demon brian/youngk.

Drifting by centersoul. 2022. General. Oneshot. Canon compliant. A sleepy brian/youngk become super clingy to sungjin.

stuck on replay by anonymous (idk who). 2021. General. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. Kid fic. A story about uncle sungjin, kindergarten teacher brian/youngk and kid doun. A super adorable fic. (๑˃́ꇴ˂̀๑) I Need more sungbriwoon fic!!

Between The Cracks of A Concrete Wall by ssfsteaklates. 2019. Teen and Up. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. Not K-pop Idol. Sungjin gave brian/youngk all the privileges he wanted and deserved. Featuring jaepil the shipper.

see you on the flipside by anonymous (idk who). 2021. General. Oneshot. Canon compliant. A little story about sungjin calling brian/youngk the night before his enlistment.

and because you are a dream, i sleep a lot by smolcloud. 2023. General. Oneshot. Canon compliant. Sungjin becomes clingy bcus he's still sleepy and misses his brian/youngk. 'Day and Night' playing in the background.

Beyond These Four Walls series by lemonhopia. 2018-2020. Teen and Up, Mature. Unfinished. Alternative Universe. A cute story about office worker brian/youngk has a crush on new IT guy sungjin. Strangers to lovers. There's one spin-off about dopil getting together.

Cross the Line by rorobynne. 2024. Oneshot. Canon compliant. Sungjin wants to kiss brian/youngk so badly.

those pleasures in the night by orphan_account (aw, too bad). 2020. Explicit. Oneshot. Omegaverse. Fox hybrid omega brian/youngk got in heat while on a concert tour.

Your name tattooed on my heart by anonymous (idk who). 2021. Explicit. Chaptered. Completed. Alternative Universe. Soulmate. Strangers to friends with benefits to enemies(?) to lovers for real. A story about tattoo artist sungjin that has trauma with an ex lover meets florist brian/youngk. A slow burn, eh not really, they straight(?) to sex tho. Even though labeled as explicit, I don't think it's that hot, just steamy, still safe. Full angst with spiciness, but happy ending. This is written beautifully. The way the writer executes this is brilliant. The conflict, the resolution, the drama. The pace is not that fast and not that slow, just right. It's so romantic sungjin's way to win brian's heart and trust back. Also how brian still putting his guard up even though he already accepts Sungjin's apology.

Brighter than Sunshine by wintercoda. 2023. Explicit. Chaptered. Completed. Alternative Universe. Sungjin brings brian/youngk to meet his parents. That fake relationship fic. Friends to lovers. I really like how the writer inserts the canon materials here. Fit perfectly! Also the domestic vibe! *chef kiss* My favorite part is when brian/youngk helping sungjin put on his shirt. Also when sungjin woke up to brian, hand across his chest and still with eyes closed, smiling to him. Very domestic and the tension too, ugh! Reading this again after 'witnessing' their relationship development irl is woah.. I wanna cry happy tears.

to the heart & back by seohngjin (cngkyns). 2020. General. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. Highschool. A slow burn enemies to friends then kinda fast burn to lovers. Ambitious brian antagonises sungjin just bcus he’s smarter and teachers favourite but too laid back for his liking. Lowkey, sungjin fell first but did nothing about it.

one, two, three (as easy as you + me) by anonymous (idk who). 2021. Teen and Up. Chaptered. Completed. Alternative Universe. Highschool. Sungjin fell first, brian/youngk oblivious. Or brian thinking he's a homewrecker. It's funny how brian character is the hot nerd(?) that has zero dating experience, not even a first kiss. But that's very cute of him. Also jaepil the third wheel. ( ദ്ദി ˙ᗜ˙ )

I Wanna, I Wanna, I Wanna Touch You by CrowsGift. 2022. Explicit. Oneshot. Canon compliant(?). Military era brian/youngk got punished by sungjin, in a hot way. (≖⩊≖)

Our Melodies and Melancholy by pskytales. 2024. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. A complicated story between singer sungjin and producer brian/youngk. Full angst but happy ending. Song fic, I guess. Listen to 'didn't know' while reading this.

A Gumiho's Guide to A Writer's Block series by anonymous (idk who). 2024. General. Unfinished. Alternative Universe. My roommate is a gumiho, literally. Not the drama, well idk what the drama is about.

Nobody Knows by anonymous (idk who). 2024. Explicit. Oneshot. Omegaverse. ‘Alpha’ Brian/youngk behind the closed door. P.s. he’s an omega. (≖⩊≖)

Possibly Till Sunrise by rorobynne. 2024. Mature. Oneshot. Brian/youngk exploring new spicy things and Sungjin can't get enough of him. I'm not sure, is this canon compliant or alternative universe, but super hot, love it! This should've been labeled as explicit rather than mature. I mean it, this is super hot!! (๑>؂•̀๑)

easy work for an easy A by honnou_archive (honnou). 2024. Teen and Up. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. Warning: age gap, but not really shown. Just take a wild guest. A funny fic but poor kimwonpil, boy must be traumatized, let's go to therapy together. ꉂ (´∀｀)ʱªʱªʱª

Deisikseu’s alternative universe oneshot collection. Most of their stories are alternative universes. I mean how come one puts a pair in a lot of universes? That must be a multiverse of madness inside their head, and they aren't the common universe! Like mostly ‘magical’. Also I call them the master of angst sungbri, bcus how come this person loves to make sungbri suffer? But their writing skill is amazing, i can visualize every scene perfectly and the emotions are ugh, pained in my meow meow. All of their stories are labeled as mature, but lately(?) they make a 'corner' for explicit sungbri fics. Here are some of their fics I really like: ✮ 011693. Brian is lost and then ‘meets’ sungjin in an old phone booth. Kinda like the concept of 'your name' anime. Short angst, kinda eerie but magical. ✮ Where the Sunflower Grows. Yes, angst but happy ending! A beautiful story of sungjin and his beautiful sunflower. ✮ Beyond the Negatives. A really nice concept. A little angsty and magical. Kinda reminds me of something but I can't recall what it is. ✮ A Kiss of Celestial Ashes. Icarus sungjin’s endless love for sun brian/youngk. And of course he died, what did I expect? Damn hurt btw. (╥_╥) ✮ Letters in the Ruins. Soldier sungbri. Damn someone died! Of course it's a war story. ✮ Allergic to Love. I’m sorry for your break up, brian, but that brings you to sungjin. Finally! A sweet fic! ◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜ ✮ printf("Hello World!\n"); kind of creepy but nice concept. Should've been a halloween fic too. I really love the vibe and the setting in this one, wish I could be trapped there. ✮ Fading Strings. Damn hurt. Just hurt bruh, no comfort. ദ്ദി ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ) ✮ Fading Grace. Zombie apocalypse. Of course someone died. I cry with you brian! (つ╥﹏╥)つ ✮ 7:20 am. A cute meet cute story. University student sungbri in a morning subway. ✮ Seafoam Lullabies. Siren brian/youngk and sailor sungjin. Someone died, not surprising. This one has the similar emotion and concept like the icarus one. The pain is unbearable. damn. ✮ Drafted in Red. Halloween fic. Cereal killer and writer, power couple!! That trope and the ship I've been obsessed with! *chef kiss* it’s actually soft for a thrill theme. ✮ Marlboro Reds. Explicit. Cigarettes are hot. Friends with benefits? ✮ BMW Sedan. Explicit. Sungbri in a steaming hot car. Porn with feelings. Friends with benefits to lovers. (๑>؂•̀๑)

fast times and fast nights by espressopeachtea. 2024. Teen and Up. Chaptered. Completed. Alternative Universe. A secret relationship between F1 driver sungjin and singer brian/youngk. The title suits the story, a fast burn from strangers to friends to lovers. I love how the writer inserted canon materials/events and adjusted them with the plot, I almost forgot this is not canon compliant. Also how the writer describes brian’s worry and emotion in general for sungjin, ugh i get it. I happened to read this after watching the ferrari movie, so it is easier to feel the emotions and the vibe. Great story! ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ )

beneath the shattered sky by sugarvixx. 2024. Teen and Up. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. Zombie apocalypse. The first part is funny, reminds me of zom100 anime. But of course the fun ends there. There is no hope. The writer already gave a trigger warning, so no use hoping for a happy ending, though there is a ‘soft and calm’ moment. That’s the ‘calm before the storm/in the eye of the storm’ scene. At least make them accidentally kiss once when they have the night talks! But, maybe the writer just wants to make sungbri suffer. Damn, I cry with you brian! (つ╥﹏╥)つ

worth it? by sugarvixx. 2024. General. Oneshot. Canon compliant. Doun the third wheel in action, his parents just need a little push to be together. Good job and thank you, doun (and writer)! ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

feeling you by sugarvixx. 2024. General. Oneshot. Alternative Universe(?). Soulmate. A little story about sungbri, one night, finding out they are each other's soulmate.

Mr. YoungK by sugarvixx. 2024. General. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. Kid fic. A story about uncle sungjin and kindergarten teacher brian/youngk. One day, Sungjin picked up his niece from day care and fell for brian at first sight. Then the classic but cute misunderstanding. This one isn't tagged as sungbri fic, but it’s sungbri to me.

one little thing (a ring) by espressopeachtea. 2024. General. Oneshot. Wonpil accidentally pranks brian, kind of. Or brian wants THE ring from sungjin. I’m not sure, is this canon compliant or alternative universe.

A Puppy Business by clefaire. 2022. General. Oneshot. Canon compliant (i think). Not sungbri, but it’s really cute. One day, Doun turns into a puppy, and the desik hyungs take care of him. Or how to shower your puppy maknae with a lot of love by desik. A little sungbri moment there, you blink you missed it.

Thank you to all fanfiction writers, I know you write them for free so i hope you all have the best of life. ヾ( ˃ᴗ˂ )◞ • *✰ Also, it turns out I'm not good at reviewing things. I can’t help myself to write ‘this written beautifully’ in every title. Because IT IS!! I'm lacking in vocabulary and not really good at writing, honestly. I want to point out my favorite scene in every explicit fics. Every time the writer(s) writes: sungjin pins/holds brian’s both hands/wrists above his head just with one hand. That’s so woah. I’m so embarrassed writing this. (>/////< " ) That makes me wonder if he can really do that irl, i mean not in an explicit way, just for research purposes. （´∇｀''）

Next..

Rekomendasi fanfiction berbahasa inggris sudah, sekarang yang berbahasa indonesia. Sebenarnya, nggak banyak yang sudah kubaca. Bukan sombong atau gimana, memang sejak dulu entah apapun fandom dan kapalnya, aku lebih nyaman baca yang berbahasa inggris, apalagi yang labelnya dewasa. Sedikit cerita, pertama kali baca fanfiction dewasa berbahasa indonesia yang bahasanya eksplisit banget, aku trauma cukup lama. Mungkin karena pas baca itu aku belum cukup umur, jadi kayak ‘culture shock’ gitu. Sejak saat itu aku cuma baca fanfiction berbahasa inggris (terutama yang dewasa). Trus, nggak tau kenapa suka geli aja kalo baca yang berbahasa indonesia. Padahal (dulu pas masih nulis) aku cuma bisa nulis fanfiction berbahasa indonesia. Semoga para penulis fanfiction berbahasa indonesia tidak tersinggung dengan ‘pengakuanku’ ini. Maaf, ya… ( • ᴖ • ｡)

OK, ini adalah beberapa fanfiction sungbri (atau generasi sekarang lebih suka menyebutnya AU) berbahasa indonesia yang pernah kubaca dan aku cukup suka dengan ceritanya.

you're coming to me by henryneedswater. 2024. Teen and Up. Oneshot. Alternative Universe. Bercerita tentang brian/youngk yang sedang menjalani masa KKN di desa kampung halaman sungjin. Setting-nya lokal alias tkp di indonesia, jadi budayanya juga indonesia. Ini adalah fanfiction sungbri berbahasa indonesia pertama yang aku baca, dan kayaknya yang pertama juga yang di-post di ao3. Jadi, karena waktu itu baru satu ini, aku coba iseng baca. Ternyata ceritanya nggak terlalu buruk meskipun kayaknya memang ditulis terburu-buru satu dudukan langsung jadi. Format penulisannya juga gak terlalu berantakan sekalipun alurnya bikin aku agak bingung. Tapi aku suka alur dan temanya. Good job! ( ദ്ദി ˙ᗜ˙ )

Perjodohan by liquidalveolar & breezyxwinter. 2020-2022. Chaptered. Completed. Alternative Universe. Cerita ini hampir sempurna buatku. Bercerita tentang brian/youngk, anak tunggal kaya raya yang manja, yang dipaksa dijodohkan untuk menikah dengan sungjin, anak tunggal dari keluarga menengah ke bawah yang kerjanya serabutan. Untuk yang ini aku nggak sengaja nemu pas searching keyword sungbri di twitter. Awalnya ragu-ragu mau baca, soalnya dari abstrak cerita kayak drama tipikal sinetron indonesia. Trus iseng aja pilih bab acak dan jadi penasaran. Ternyata tidak drama mendayu-dayu, cuma cerita kehidupan sehari-hari rumah tangga sungbri. Ditulis dengan rapi dan sederhana dan berbahasa indonesia yang baku (ada bahasa gaul juga sih), pakai aku-kamu bukan gue-elo, dan nggak belepotan dicampur percakapan bahasa inggris. Ya, sayangnya di dua bab terakhir nggak tau kenapa penulisnya pilih mencampur percakapan berbahasa inggris, ada juga di bab berapa tiba-tiba sungjin ngomong inggris. Itu yang kumaksud dengan hampir sempurna. Mengabaikan itu, sejujurnya tema dan jalan cerita cukup bagus, nggak terburu-buru juga nggak bertele-tele. Penggambaran karakter juga oke. Aku suka karakter ibunya sungjin. Trus aku juga suka penulis memilih membatasi munculnya nama/karakter baru, cuma fokus ke newlywed sungbri aja. Lucunya karakter baru yang diceritakan itu cuma 'varian' dari sungbri, kayak mantannya brian (sungjin 'dibalik') dan istrinya sungjin (brian versi perempuan). Aku suka banget pas di akhir dopil muncul sebagai anak mereka. (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)

Keluarga Bapak Sungjin by akubukanyaa. 2024. Chaptered. Unfinished. Alternative Universe? Canon Divergence? Parents!sungbri; sons!dopil. Warning!mpreg. Yang ini juga gak sengaja nemu, ada yang qrt trus muncul di timeline, iseng aja baca. Kayaknya si penulis juga iseng aja nulis. Nggak ada proofread, nulis langsung post. Lucu banget ceritanya, mungkin karena dicampur bahasa daerah, trus tkp di jawa tengah kayaknya. Sejauh ini ada enam cerita kalau nggak salah. Bercerita tentang keluarga bapak sungjin. Cara nulisnya itu sederhana tapi berantakan tapi temanya lucu. Penggambaran karakternya juga lucu. Suka banget sama bayi/balita wonpil disini. Jadi keinget video wonpil baru bisa jalan masih plonga-plongo itu. (๑˃́ꇴ˂̀๑) Nunggu kisah bayi/balita doun yang lempeng itu. Tiap kali baca ini, sambil cengar-cengir yang kupikirkan: kok bisa ya kepikiran nulis gitu. Aku suka penulis nyelipin bahan canon disini kayak kisah mancingnya doun trus brian gagal jadi idol tapi disuruh ngeband trus brian jadi dj radio, dan producer parksungjin! ♡(˃͈ ˂͈ ) Sejauh ini favoritku kisah ketemuan dan jadiannya sungbri. Aku tunggu ide kreatifmu yang super lucu itu, kak! ( • ᴗ - ) ✧

Semua fanfiction sungbri berbahasa indonesia itu kubaca karena iseng. Biasanya aku nggak bisa baca fanfiction dengan seting lokal, tapi cerita di atas bisa aku masukkan ke pengecualianku. Mungkin ada yang mau merekomendasikan padaku fanfiction sungbri berbahasa indonesia? Fanfiction ya, bukan au yang format screenshot-an chat wa gitu. Aku sekarang nggak tau baca fanfiction selain di ao3 dimana. Dulu pas masih sekolah baca di ffn. Jaman kuliah baca di afn sama blog khusus fanfiction fandom/ship tertentu. Sekarang cuma baca di ao3, yang berbahasa indonesia jarang. Mungkin karena mayoritas kapalku gethek atau sekoci kali ya..

Terima kasih bagi kalian yang nyasar kesini dan membaca tulisan berantakan ini.. (*´▽`*)

discussion on ship

I know no one asked this but I just want to pour my thoughts on them. Maybe I'll get better and not get hurt in the future. Since I have no one to talk to and/or a safe place to pour this thought out beside my mind, I'll just write here. Firstly, my English isn't good in the first place, and this is just a rambling thought. This will be a long messy writing.

What is it about?

Like last time, this is about shipping stuff. It will be 'easier' for me if all my ships consist of fictional characters. I know damn well that shipping real life people (celebrities/idols) is not healthy. I need to remind myself, every time I get carried away, that they have a life off-camera, and not everything they show on-camera is true. But yknow, can't help it. So, writing this out my mind in this messy essay is my coping mechanism. I no longer write fics of real life people ships, that was traumatizing, even though my mind keeps making headcanons.

What ship is this about?

Yes, the only real life people ship that is bothering me this year is... no other than sungbri.

Like wow man wtf!

Yes, I too have other real life people ships from different fandoms, but this one is the worst case since 2017. For example; I have shipped coupshan since 2015 till now but never this bad, I think. Like, coupshan is almost glued 24/7 but I never ship them this bad. Sometimes I even question their 'friendship'. Bro, stop looking at your premium best friend like he holds your whole world like that, I'm so single! Can't relate man!

Anyway, this essay isn't about coupshan, so sorry (or not).

Back to sungbri.

Like wow man wtf! From where I have to start this, it's complicated. Ah, I'm not joining the fandom (btw) even though I ship them. Just pure for this ship. So, I'll just start from when I know this group. It was around early 2016, but all I knew about them was: they are a 'brother group' of G7. No offense to the fandom (please). I know they were 6 first and their 'infamous' debut song, but not following them. I don't know the members name but jae. I started listening to D6 since; one day I 'accidentally' watched mubank on TV and they were there promoting 'I Smile'. It was like love at first sight(?); oh ‘that voice’ belongs to this man, sungjin I love you ! After that I started doing ‘research’ on them. Members name, position, age, memorized their faces. But still I didn't plan on joining the fandom. So, just that and I became a casual listener.

However, I have this habit of looking for the parents of the group. Every group always has members that have those roles. Then I discovered that D6 only has the 'father' role that is sungjin. That was the statement of the mayor voice of the fandom. I remember, they (the fandom) also stated that D6 isn't like your typical boygroups that do fanservices. I don't know what that means but my first thought was about shipping stuff. No shipping the members, and it's just 'sungjin and his children'. I was so intimidated by this fandom, really. So I kept that in mind till earlier this year.

Now, did I just start shipping sungbri this year? No. I have been shipping them (in silence) since 2018, maybe. But I never dare look for their contents/moments on yt or anywhere. I was so intimidated by the fandom, I never thought that one ship ever existed in this group. Until one day, I found this video clip of doun, sungjin and brian, and my first thought was: he is 'the mother'! Still the fandom statement is valid: this group doesn't have a 'mother' role, like it was an insult.

Well, if I worded it like that the fandom will definitely be offended for real. OK, if you accidentally found this you can bully me. Sorry.

So, I'll discuss a bit about that 'famous' clip that makes me a sungbri shipper (in silence). I was like, the baby is scared, sungjin! Stop acting tough. And then brian rushed in to help the baby. They are sooo typical asian parents on that clip. Papa wants the baby to be tough like him. Mama doesn't want the baby to get hurt. Omg, SHIP!!

And then there is this, I don't know what to call it… comparison? Is it 'parallel'? Anyway, I think personally, they are a bit similar to jjp. This is pure personal opinion! That's what I see on them. Like: "a hard life of jb/sungjin as a leader" they share that kind of vibes. Even though brian isn't as 'motherly' as jinyoung who self proclaimed as G7 mother (or bambam's specifically), he did have that motherly side, at least to doun.

Just that! Really just that! It never developed further. I am purely only a casual listener. Especially after I watched that 'infamous' video of glamor where they hugged awkwardly. My first thought was: they are sooo awkward, are they not close? Does this ship really only exist in my mind? I was so dejected, and I buried this idea of shipping them since that day.

Until earlier this year, I randomly stumbled upon a sungbri pic on pinterest. It was the one where sungjin piggyback brian on one of their concerts. I was like: who is that? Brian's face wasn't visible from that angle of the photo I found. I mean, I know sungjin isn't into skinship but why is he piggybacked one of the members? Then I scrolled down and found the one where brian's face is visible. I collapsed. It felt like finding an oasis. There was 'sungbri' written under that pic, and I was like: they have ship names! The ships exist! I'm not delusional. Then I rummage through sungbri keyword/hashtag on pinterest and twitter. There was a lot! It felt like I had been fooled!

I was happy to find out that the ship indeed exists, however small. At the same time I wondered why the fandom stated something like that? I mean, they did ship the members. Are they (the shippers) just a small part of the fandom? Are the members homophobic? Are the fandom homophobic? Really, it felt like I had been fooled, for like what, six years?? OK, maybe it’s part of my own fault since I didn't find out myself, back then. But I was already intimidated, what can I do about that? I was just trying to respect the fandom ‘rules’. Also I tend to be curious about a fandom from the ships first. (I stan svt because of coupshan first, yknow)

So that was the story of how I’ve been fooled. Sometimes I wish I could go back in time, finding out that it was OK to ship them way earlier. But it's not all bad just finding out this year. I mean, I’m trying to look at the bright side. They have a lot of moments this year! Not only the shippers, even the longtime/old fans were also shocked with their dynamic/relationship development. Like, what do you mean sungjin is OK with any skinship now?? Sungbri even hugged several times in front of fans, and on national tv!! And what do you mean now sungjin looking at brian with heart eyes too? Even often calling him cute too. I was like: after all these years, his love is reciprocated!! I don’t mind brian having sungjin for himself, he deserves that.

I’ve watched some of their videos from last year and they were still timid to show affection to each other. It’s funny to me how they were just standing there, staring and smiling to each other on brian’s military discharge >< I mean, I watched suju military discharge (years ago) and all the members were hugging each other. The sungbri one was hilarious. Well, it’s not surprising with sungjin and his no touchie agenda >< But seeing them smile at each other warmed my heart. Oh, I want to point out a little from that moment. We got two videos from D6 yt and sungjin yt. I always wondered, did brian really have zero idea about sungjin picking him up? Why did he show up with casual clothes and not his military uniform? I mean, when D6 staff picked up dopil they were still wearing their uniform. Nevermind that. What I want to point out is; on the meeting point, while still inside the car brian could’ve seen sungjin waiting outside, but he didn’t. After stepped out of the car he seemed really surprised and happy to see sungjin there. I mean, he closed his eyes right before stepping out of the car, not before the car made a turn to the meeting point. It is even funnier to me how the manager led him to sungjin. Like, she walked him down the altar to meet his future husband >< omg, i’m delusional this is not healthy.

OK, I no longer write ships analysis like years ago, however bad I want to. That's traumatizing. So, I need to stop writing more of this. My only wish for them is; please have a grow-old-together kind of love, and stay healthy, men.

I’m not regretting anything, but consuming this ship's contents too much isn’t healthy. I really need to stop. This essay has no intention to offend anyone. Sorry.
