#they’re just my silly stupid lil cheerleaders I love them

[rentumblsstuff]

Yes they are barely plot relevant. Yes I love them.

[lumyart]

i think you should keep writing frustrating what-do-you-mean-we’re-just-friends situations in golden melodies especially if you want to and especially if you still have ideas in that regard. i don’t think it’d become boring or anything on the contrary to me it’s been so fun to read because you’ve made it pretty organic like for example now alicent knows she’s in love with rhaenyra she’s clear about it but she’s afraid/in denial?? and that honestly makes total sense and feels very ic for alicent and particularly for THIS alicent who you’ve constructed in a way that fits this behavior. and on the other hand rhaenyra has been clear about her feelings for alicent for years now but she thinks alicent doesn’t reciprocates her feelings (and yeah i’d think the same considering how alicent has been in so much denial all these years) and is resigned to that idea which also feels v much ic for this rhaenyra who’s so very eager to be enough but never seems to achieve it?? and you even have reasons to justify the sprinkles of (soveryhot) sex they’re having because … hormones right? 🥺 poor alicent is not like she really wants rhaenyra it’s just pregnancy hormones!!!

what i mean with all this text is … i know you intended to write a silly lil piece of fun with this one and imho you totally succeeded but the reason you did is because you constructed a good story behind it you gave us well rounded characters and even a plot that no matter how many times you call silly it makes sense and it justified a lot of the stuff you’ve thrown our way. so please … if you wanna keep writing frustrating stupid lil *gasps* and they were roommates scenarios with these two PLEASE do it. you should be able to do it lum to explore whatever you wanna explore with your writing and to write as relaxed or as “stupid” as you wish. so please do because believe me i’ll be here to be your mfcking personal cheerleader all the way to the end as usual

honestly, the first part about me doing what i want to pretty much sums up what i should choose😭 like, i started writing golden melodies for this part of the plot, and i love it so much that knowing it would soon end made me a lot less motivated to write it, which should only mean one thing - i need to do whatever i love best and right now that's writing them as stupid, madly in love friends

you're right, their dynamics have changed a bit now, especially for Alicent, and that should give me some more time to explore their "friendship" while exploring the shift in their feelings. i think one of the reason i felt like hurrying up with their confession is that i love writing their inner feelings and thoughts and it does sometimes feel like i'm going in circles, but that's not insurmountable and i could probably work on that

and yeah, i do feel it would be sad to not make them use the excuse of hormones to justify having sex when that would fit the plot so well - and probably be the only time they have an actual, proper excuse that doesn't sound completely made up😭

thank you so much for sending this, it helped a lot with my current struggles with golden melodies<33 there's still so much to do and so many fun scenarios i have in mind, it would be sad to throw them all away, especially since i'll never write another fic with this plot :o literally got all of my inspiration back, so thank youuu a lot!!!🥰❤️

LILY’s RELTIONSHIPS WITH THE DREAMIES

MARKLY:

so their ship name is just his full name LMAO

they love it

so yknow how dream clowns mark?

obviously she does too

but she’s more gentle and has a TON of respect for mark

“minhyung oppa is extremely hardworking ... he’s always working to be his absolute best and he is so kind and down to earth”

they’re actually a really soft duo

because like. mark is truly her big brother

he cares for her a lot and helped her so much during her debut

he helps her practice her dancing (even after he left dream)

because she trusts him a lot and he know the exact way to help her

but yeah she still clowns him

calls him old man all of the time

but she was full on SOBBING at their last concert with mark

like she had to move her mic because it was so bad

mark isn’t too big on the pda but when they’re together he always lets his baby sister give him so many hugs

when sm told them that mark was coming back and they were a fixed unit ... god she cried a lot then too

she was so happy

“lily is actually so sweet guys. like, she’s so genuine. she cares a lot for all of us and she’s also so intelligent? she’s always reading” - mark when asked about her on vlive

he’s trying to teach her guitar but the only instrument she formally knows is violin

her skill with the bass is self taught and she doesn’t know actual notes so she applies that to guitar and mark is trying to ACTUALLY teach her

mark also understands her well because they were both raised in the west

she expresses herself better in english and mark is always there to understand and listen

they’re just actual siblings and love each other so much

LILJUN:

firstly

lily makes renjun look a lot taller

she doesn’t ever make fun of his height and gets mad at the other dreamies when they do

she clowns his voice crack tho HAH

lowkey the savage duo

lily is more secretly savage though

renjun is the one allowed in her room the most

he works on his art and she reads or writes or practices violin

they have a lot of quiet moments

but they also get silly together

so lily doesn’t think about the universe deeply because she lowkey thinks it’s a waste of her time

like .. she’ll never know and she’s fine with that so why dwell on it

HOWEVER she really believes in aliens and she and renjun legit have sat for hours looking online ab alien shit

they’re also both so smart

and she’s always talking about how much she admires renjun’s brain

stans his vocal talent. like. she’s loud about it

fans love this duo a lot nd they have a lot of romantic shippers

even tho .. they have never liked each other that way LMAO

at the airport she links arms with him a lot and they look like they’re gossiping hhhhh

when the dreamies are being too much they just look at each other and fans love that shit

also they’re both arguably the scariest members

renjun because... duh y’all know him

but lily doesn’t get annoyed often. when she does... there’s hell to pay and she has a good punch

“renjun oppa is so good at korean! i’m actually korean and he speaks it better than i do!”

“that’s because i’m smarter than you”

“do you want to die?”

basically just a really close pair! they’re always there for each other 🥺

JENLY:

she openly says that jeno is the cutest member

“he’s the most adorable person ever! his eyesmile is too cute”

the way she laughed when jeno ripped his shirt off-

she clowned him for DAYS

every time she was wearing a jacket or cardigan she ripped it off and mocked him

also whenever she’s drinking something around him she recreates his milk cf

also!!! she thinks jeno is so funny

she loves him and his humor

she and jeno have a really really deep bond.

he saw her journal (refer to my post about her room) and he’ll take what he read to the grave

he checks in on her a lot because he knows when she’s hurting

when they were trainees she was struck by how kind he was to her

and they were stuck together ever since

lily hasn’t ever been mad at him ONCE

they’re arguably the softest duo

they have a lot of romantic shippers too but

again

it’s a no

she’s a big nomin shipper too like unironically she thinks there’s something there

she always hypes his vocals!! he doesn’t get to sing enough >:(

he’s also her biggest cheerleader and when she cries and gets upset about her dancing he always pulls her aside and consoles her 🥺

he helps her with writing songs too!

wholesome beautiful friendship

they go out to eat a lot

jeno also helps her paint her nails LMAO

and they ride bikes together a lot

can’t commit to working out with him though because it’s way too much for her to do all that

lily also bakes a lot. and jeno appreciates that. a LOT

they’re best friends. she even bought them stupid girly heart bracelets that connect together LMAO

JIHYUCK:

so much affection!!!!

she is such a hyuck stan

“haechannie is my bias!!”

always calls him fullsun (in english)

number one hyuck skin enthusiast!! she thinks he’s gorgeous and glows brighter than all of them

also she loves his singing and thinks his vocal tone is so unique

always laughs at his jokes and finds him hilarious

he doesn’t prank her as much as the others because he’s actually so sweet to her

he’s used to having a younger sister and thinks of lily as his little sister

they constantly text and facetime a lot since they live in different dorms

she’s lowkey whipped for him and he’s whipped for her

not in a romantic way tho!

another member who always eats her baking

they learn girl group dances together

now we all know damn well that hyuck is the sweetest boy and so full of love

but we also know he annoys the shit out of the members

jimin is NO exception

he pokes fun at her and mocks her all the time

so she slaps him in the back of the head LMAOO

when does she actually get mad tho? when he shows up at the dorms and enters her room without permission

cue her chasing him around the dorms with murder in her eyes

yknow the vine where it’s like

“let me see what you have?”

“a KNIFE”

“NO”

that’s the other guys making sure hyuck doesn’t get brutally murdered

because lily can pack a punch

all in all though, they’re a great duo and they’re always so proud of each other

JAEJIMIN:

okay jaemin babies the FUCK outta her

he always takes care of her and talks to her about her concerns and vice versa

he was so happy for her when she debuted and was sad he couldn’t be there for it

she visited him all the time when he was gone

and she was heartbroken that he wasn’t with dream

she is a BIG 8dream stan because they are a family

but yeah fans can’t even ship them romantically because they know lily is his lil baby

she helps him with his english

and he always compliments her singing and dancing

proud of her songwriting

so much affection

even tho she hates when he pinches her cheeks n calls her cute

when he came back during go she was overjoyed

“go is our special era! we were all reunited~~”

he always wanted a sister and now he has one <3

she drinks a lot of coffee but not as much as him and was so worried about his health

they’re the biggest flirts w czennies

you’ll always find them with their arms linked in the airport

and everywhere really

during empathy era she was always hugging jaemin’s side

they also do a lot of lives together!!

such cute bffs

she is a big nomin stan like i said

name twins and they always tell everyone that they’re actual siblings

jaemin’s mom is so fond of her and treats her like her own daughter

HE REALLY TRIES TO GIVE HER FASHION ADVICE AND GIVE INPUT ON HOW HER HAIR SHOULD LOOK FOR COMEBACKS

they’re really true siblings and best friends 🥺

LILLE:

THESE MFS ARE BEST FRIENDS

01’ liners and so similar in ages but he ALWAYS brings up that he’s older

they compete over a lot

literally everything is a competition

she’s at her most childish with him

they also make lots of bets and she usually wins

clowns him for those predebut pics LOL

SHE ALWAYS SEND THEM IN THE GC AND EVEN POSTS THEM ON BUBBLE N SHIT HAHA

they can be really soft but will never admit it even if they are caught on camera

they’re pretty calm if they’re cooking together

he is Banned™️ from her room and she won’t budge at all

“chenle isn’t allowed in my room because he will disturb my peace”

remember on that one ep of weekly idol where chenle was SCREAMING while they did aegyo

yeah it’s louder when lily does aegyo

u didn’t hear it from me but her aegyo is SO cute it’s not as cringey as the others

but chenle hates it because she’s cute and he wants to clown her but he CANT

really proud of each other. super proud of each other

chenle has sat with her as she’s cried a lot. and comforted her. and it always stays between them.

she’s always there for him too

a LOT of fans have suspected that there’s something there

his mom loves her so much!!!!!

when she and jisung went to his house they were BAFFLED and impressed

“something bothers me a lot. one day, chenle woke up and looked grown up. he used to have chubby cheeks and looked like a kid and now he looks like an adult and has such defined cheekbones. it’s so strange”

when they became adults they got SHITFACED DRUNK

they definitely don’t say it a lot and when they do it’s in private (even tho everyone knows)

but they really love each other 🥺

LILJI:

jisung and lily is

p o p u l a r

with fans

because fans put together the pieces that jisung had a crush on lily during debut

lily thought it was sweet because jisung was always so cute and young

she saw him as a little kid

they used to not have MANY interactions

she always laughs when jisung is bein funny

and is in AWE of his dancing

he always assures her when she gets upset about her dancing

lilchenji is an ICONIC friendship

they watch a lot of movies together

she’s been on chenjis this and that a few times

remember that live when nomin got all in each other’s faces while chenji just froze and looked at them and then looked at the camera and looked real shocked

she was there and the three of them were like 😶

so yeah when jisung started getting really tall lily was real confused

and then somehow

during go and we go up

jisung started looking different. like. more grown up

and he had more confidence and talked to her more

and lily was like 😳😳

but spoilers so i won’t go too deep into that

they’re really good friends these days tho

the fans LOVE THEM it’s such a popular ship

at the dream shows when they sing bye my first

the song that lily famously LOVES

yknow that one line jisung has where the music goes quiet and he goes

“na geuttaeneun cham eoryeosseo”

blessed line it was beautiful

anyway at the dream show jisung would hold the mic to lily and have her sing the line or they’d duet it

and their eye contact!!!! and lily’s SMILE IS SO BRIGHT

stars in their eyes

um anyway!! they’re great friends nd very shippable for. reasons!

author’s note! i’m also a ‘01 liner! so don’t think it’s weird if i’m writing a jisung romance LMAO or who knows if it’ll be jisung? 👀👀

Aquaman: Party through the "Meh" with mermaids twerkin

When I first heard that Aquaman was getting his own movie, I was hyped! I thought to myself "FINALLY!"

Finally, this man is going to get a chance to reveal his story to the world!" He has been ridiculed for decades - the only superhero who's this powerful, who never gets any respect! It ain't right! It ain't right how we've made fun of him. Yeah, I know I've made fun of him as well... which I will not apologize for... his power is silly. It's possible to have a special ability that is both powerful and down right stupid.

Look at Wolverine - now, I would never tell him to his face that his power is stupid, but... ... I mean, his power is taking an asswhupin. Take away his claws, questionable grooming, and attitude and you're left with that cheerleader from "Heroes" - same powers.

The X-Men could simply replace Wolverine with her. Now, they would never do that, or even think of saying that Wolvy is silly, right??! Nah, cuz he he makes it look good! We respect that man! He makes it work! He is a BAMF phosho!

Whenever there's a problem that needs a "fixer", they call on Wolverine, cuz he's bad ass. DC thought that they might make Aquaman into the Wolverine of the Justice League. I was down for it!

Even Aquaman was excited about this - he decided he'd change his look to cultivate how he wanted to be perceived. He wanted that Jason Momoa look: He dyed his hair, got some tats, joined a biker gang... JM kinda has that sexy-dirty look going on.

Here's a picture of him just getting out of the water, and yet he still looks a lil dirty somehow; it's uncanny. So, Aquaman decided that he'd lift weights on a beach that has a thin layer of trash on it -  to get that look, and that he wouldn't stop lifting until the ladies start hurling compliments, phone numbers, and bikini tops at him. The Jason Momoa make-over is in full effect and I'm loving it!

We saw him with the Justice League - He was PartyMan! They were trying to save the world from ultimate evil while he was showing up late, drunk, and shirtless, being like "YEAH! PARTAAAAAY! WHEW!" Who doesn't love that guy??! Give me a movie about Aquaman drinking under the sea, making fish perform musicals for him (cuz why not??), getting high with sharks, and banging mermaids. YES!

BUT, then I started thinking.... thinking things through typically ruins fun: Sure I loved "partyman", but do I really want 2 1/2 hours of him? At some point, party men/women get tiresome, right?? I started thinking about the current state of the DC Universe - Superman and his digitally removed mustache flew off to make action movies.

Batman hasn't been looking too good these days -

Sorry, wrong one -

But, still not looking so good - (we do hope Ben gets better)

Just like us men to leave the woman behind to carry the load. Eventually, carrying the rest of the DC universe is going to wear on WW, right?? We've all known or had moms who power through their guy leaving in the beginning, while carrying a huge load. But, after a while they get cranky... maybe bitter towards men... and drink a lil too much wine every night (but we don't talk about it).

I can see this in WW's fate for the next movie. Bursting through doors, with a wine stained costume, punching all of the men (simply assuming they're the ones who are in the wrong)... eternal bags under her eyes... somehow all of her inspirational speeches end with her cursing the names of Batman and Superman. If that's how a mighty warrior like Wonder Woman is going to end up, what hope is there for a loveable, drunken, ex biker gang member like Aquaman?

Then, someone walked over to me and said "John Praphit, quit being Marvel's bitch and go support a DC comic movie for a change!" Now, people... for one that's uncalled for... and two - while I consider myself to be a patient, gracious, Jesus-loving man... if one gets out of line with their mouth, don't think I won't wait until Jesus ain't lookin and beat them down. Soooooo, that's exactly what I did to this person - with my hands around their throat, I was STILL thinking... What other movies are even out around Christmas?

That Deadpool scam? -

It's the same movie with a lil less cussing and violence in it! I hope that y'all didn't fall for this! DP and Fred Savage are out there stealing people's money.

I thought "I could go see these two assholes."

Or what about Mary Poppins?

I actually have an idea for Mary Poppins. How about Mary Poppins the Horror Film?! Picture her in the house teaching and singing with the kids, but they aren't getting it - they're such screwups... she walks upstairs into the bathroom, shuts the door, and finally snaps. She takes off her clothes except her underwear, shaves her head, opens a chest full of guns, and begins to strap them all on... puts on lipstick, but not on her lips... she smears it all over her face... drinks a half a bottle of vodka, and then walks out the door, down the stairs to the kids... that's when the fun/horror begins. YES!

While still holding this person's neck in my hands, I thought to myself "I'm never going to get THAT Poppins." So... I let him go, called an ambulance for him (cuz I'm gracious like that), and went to see Aquaman.

PEOPLE!

Meh... it was as I thought it would be. There are some fun moments - Jason Momoa's portrayl of Aqua is certainly fun, it's just that the director of this movie forgot to tell the other cast members to have fun. Everyone not named Aquaman is so serious in this movie. Again, Momoa is fun... the cg fights are fun, but... it's just meh. But, being that there's not a whole lot to see in the theatres right now, perhaps it'll be the perfect type of "meh" for you. I recommend having a few drinks first tho. The dialogue is BAD and the plot - I mean...

... it's a campaign for who should be King of the sea. Jason Momoa or this guy

-

(everything about him screams lame) C'mon, no need for a fight, just a quick vote, and let's all move on.

Granted, I can remember a time when we all thought there would be a landslide victory for a particular leader, and the voting process kinda failed us...

So - maybe an over-CG'd water/fish fight IS warranted. (and you get two of them).

Can you imagine if Trump and Clinton had duked it out for the presidency?? I think I'd put my money on Clinton. Sometimes, it's the angrier person who wins the battle. Clinton has all of that rage built up from dealing with Bill all of these years.

She could focus all of her rage on Trump. Finally unleashed!

Anyway Grade: generic C for Aquaman - though an entertaining generic C

What they should have done is go all in on comedy - like Thor 3 or Ant-Man. They could have even sold a fun soundtrack produced by Rick Ross and Lil Wayne. Picture Momoa under the sea, wearing a hoody with Rick Ross... while bopping his head to the beat. You could have Lil Wayne surfing on a shark above... mermaids twerkin!

OR - Give us killer Aquaman.. but still funny. You know?? - make us laugh while he's engaged in the mayhem. Like if you were to combine Jason Momoa with Kevin Hart and The Joker.

Though I believe Aquaman's powers to be silly, they could be horrific with the right mindset. There are all kinds of creepy creatures under the sea. Just have Aqua drag people down to the sea and have fun with them using some of these beauties.

Then the sequel could be Aquaman seeking redemption; realizing that he should use his powers for good. He could tweet out some apology - He's a changed man! He has found the Lord! I dont think the villain to hero story has been told quite like this in a Comicbook movie before.

And when the people don't forgive him, cuz... you know... all of the murder. BOOM! Third movie with him saying "Well, bleep y'all then!"

THAT'S a franchise that is definitely NOT "meh".
