[ddarker-dreams]

Hellooooo I have been DYING to know this from you 👉👈. You know how there's a lot of tips for writing stuff? Well do you happen to have any tips for reading stuff? I want to read the books you recommend but I fear I'm just too dumb 😭 and won't understand what is going on let alone the themes and philosophies discussed. I feel like I would be insulting Dostoevsky by reading his work looool. We were never taught this stuff in schools ;O

I'm talking about critical thinking and analysis skills, media literacy, being able to picture and visualise sceneries; characters' voices/appearances etc., and just overall being able to comprehend one sentence that doesn't use the most basic active voice structure 😭 thank you if you choose to answer!!!!

SWEET ANON !!!! YOU ARE NOT DUMB !!!!

this is coming from a survivor of the american education system, so it might not be universal, but my experiences in middle/high school made me dislike reading books. no joke. i didn't see the point and thought reading the classics was a waste of time. i'm sure that's partially teenager arrogance, but from the conversations i've had with others, reading was rarely framed in a way that stoked intrigue. we're not given the tools to engage with the text so i'm rarely surprised when i see the worst takes imaginable on a piece of media i enjoy from a 14 year old.

i'm still learning myself when it comes to media literacy, it's an ongoing journey. when i read notes from underground for the first time last year i was literally so confused. i can normally read anywhere from 80k-100k words in one day if i'm motivated enough, but NFU, a novella at around 43k words, took me over a week.

i say all this to reassure you that you're not alone!

some advice that comes to mind when reading a dense work:

do some background research on the author. i know teachers hiss at wikipedia for some reason but reading a few paragraphs about the person's life, beliefs, politics, etc really helps put their writing into perspective.

look into the time period it was written. what were the pressing social issues at the time? who was in charge? what conflicts were ongoing/just ended? what was the predominant religion? books don't exist in a vacuum, a lot of the classics are filled with jabs at ideologies the author doesn't like (i'm looking at you, dante).

if the author's from a different country than you, getting a basic grasp on the culture helps a lot. with reading dostoevsky specifically, historical events like the emancipation of the serfs was an entirely new concept to my american brain.

not everything is going to make sense. sometimes the cultural/historical layers go so deep you'd need to have been alive at the time to immediately get it. fortunately, there are nerds with degrees in book who do extensive research and can give insight. i'll think i maybe understand a book okay, go to read a journal article on it, and go ??????? wat???? page 632 paragraph 3 references euclid's optics?? how was i supposed to know that.

finally, you're not going to like every book you read, even if it's well written. there's a difference between persevering and actively torturing yourself with words. if you dread picking it up again, there are other books to check out instead. there are some classics that i don't care for much (some of edgar allen poe's short stories, the fall by albert camus, no longer human by dazai osamu, to name a few).

ask yourself questions while reading. why did this character do that? is there a reoccurring motif throughout the work, and if so, why might the author be trying to highlight that? what perspective is the work from? is the protagonist lucid, are they an unreliable narrator? what themes are being explored here?

i hope some of this helps dsfhgkdjshgks there's a lot to be said on the subject but i didn't want this post to be miles long.

I’m sorry if you find it strange but u want to share this with someone.

Today was so eye-opening day for me actually. You know, I’ve been a fan of BTS for 1,5 year now, but three months ago I followed pjm accounts and started this path. Today I’ve tried to recollect why did I choose to be like this?

I’ve remembered that it was when I argued with old adjuma about Jimin and his talent on YouTube. She said so many disgusting things about him under each good comment about him, it made me so angry.

And I got that you cannot be an army with Jimin as your bias. It’s only one way - if you really, truly love Jimin the only way of sincerely loving him is to be PJM. I tried to be army and biasing Jimin, but it failed because you have to live with trashy nasty taekookers that hate on Jimin 24/7, have to deal with hate from fans of hyung line that diminish Jimin’s talent - Jimin is not the best dancer because dance leader is Hoseok, Jimin means nothing for Serendipity because Rm wrote it etc. they don’t even care for him enough to DEFEND him from antis, pushing weird narratives about him without even knowing about the actual plot and busy with making those stupid jokes and videos that harm Jimin. Not to mention their weird obsession with seeing him as a weak girly-boy

“Oh look omg Jimin changed so much😭 he said that boys don’t kiss and now he said what the heck is man” they are full of lies, making this all just to get attention not even knowing the real plot behind the scenes. They set him up by himself and he still has maturity and kindness to say thank you to those who act like this.

There no way to be army and loving Jimin sincerely, you only have to become PJM or be really strong warrior and handle those fandom weirdos who shit on him every single day

The labeling of army isn’t the issue. It’s that it became synonymous with people who don’t care about jimin. There’s a lot of jimin biased people that I know of from twitter who broke away from armys and still despise solos stans. So labeling yourself as a pjm is necessarily the only route. (plus there’s a chunk of pjms who are aggy too) They just detach and refer to themselves as some other third thing. I refer myself as a “pjm” but labels don’t matter to me. I’m just a jimin stan. There’s varying degrees of how we all navigate it, but overall, we all had to get away from armys to not feel persecuted for just wanting to support jimin since they’ve made that fandom such an unwelcoming place to do that.

I do know of a few army accounts in particular who’ve been loud about being jimin biased and aren’t fake at all about it. They call armys out on their bs and everything, but they also get accused of being solos all the time so honestly there’s no winning for us. I’ll never go back into that environment.

[happilychaengs]

this is a no-brainer for me: always the person that i love.

if it were someone that loved me, but i don't feel the same way in that regard (like i stopped having a crush/thing with that person whatever the reason that may be but i did before) it would probably come off as forced. sure, learning to love someone that loves me is not necesarily a bad thing, but i feel like you're just hurting yourself trying to get your heart and mind on the same page for that certain person.

i want my version/vision of love to be genuine, but its so easy to fall into that perception because of how natural of us as humans to fill that sort of void when we don't get what we want out of something or somebody. i can't just force myself to love someone if they don't love me back, it just doesn't feel right.

but then again there's degrees of love whether it's platonic or romantic for example so as long as i feel like you're able to accept the gains and losses with what you got, that's all it is.

but everyone is different :)

love is SO difficult, but if things were easy in life then everyone would get what they want, right? kinda gets boring, that's why i love the beauty in the struggles and all that jazz.

as someone who initially thought id always choose the person who loved me, im lowk conflicted now 😔 bc i definitely agree that its hard to love someone if the other person just can’t reciprocate to the same degree. it’d be hard for both sides and they’d definitely hurt each other in the process no matter the outcome, good or bad.

but love is so different depending on the person so idk it’s hard 😭

[greetings-inferiors]

how did you pick your uni?

I searched up ‘mathematics university rankings’ and chose the top 5

I’m just kidding you can’t apply for Cambridge and Oxford.

In reality I did give lots of unis a go, the first and third in the country just happened to be one’s I really liked. Cambridge is, obviously, Cambridge, it’s jaw droppingly gorgeous, the maths department is the thing of dreams, the college system is literally my ideal living situation, etc. sadly I didn’t get an offer (I did get pooled however, which is literally the closest you can get to an offer without getting an offer. I was good enough to get a Cambridge offer, there were just more people who were better.).

My next choice is Warwick, which is only third in the country for maths 😭😭😭 also incredible! Its campus is the perfect size, has a really cool arts centre, its own cinema, its maths department is also really cool (such… high ceilings 🥵), and the dorms aren’t that bad, some would even call them good! It also lets you have a lot of freedom, for example as long as you take the compulsory modules you can take ANY MODULE IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSITY as additional modules. It means I can formally learn Japanese whilst studying for a maths degree. It also lets you choose to have a year abroad after you got your offer, which is surprisingly quite a rare find. Almost all unis have maths and maths with year abroad as separate degrees, but you can add a year abroad WHILE AT THE UNI, which is really cool since I’m considering taking a year abroad to Tokyo to study maths (I’d have to research it more as someone said that they don’t do Tokyo even though it says on the website but the website was pretty vague so - once (if? No. Once. (Confidence is key!)) I’m a student there I’m sure it’ll be a lot clearer.

My insurance is mathematics (oh yeah I should probably mention that all my applications were for mathematics) at Nottingham, it’s a really cool uni that isn’t as prestigious, still really good, and is a lot more hip and stuff. I like it for many of the same reasons, just less, which is why it’s my insurance!

Basically, I really like challenging myself, so I picked the hardest universities in the country. I also applied for Durham, which is (I believe) the fourth, and I got an offer but honestly I didn’t really look at it much, I much preferred Warwick.

[lqfiles]

it’s the way she acted like me using the word melancholy and ambiguity is otherworldly and i couldn’t come up w that by myself. cuz why did she quote my paper w the sentence i wrote ambiguity in and ask me to define it WHICH I DID girl worry ab the people in the class who still cant use homophones im sorry IS THAT MEAN???? im deadass so mad at her bc she was praising this boy like crazy for his writing and she’s like “when you’re passionate about a topic you’ll write well so choose something you enjoy” that’s what i did??? and she told me it was TOO GOOD THAT I COULDNT RECEIVE A GRADE??

and the only reason i’m so negative about math is bc one i can’t do it beyond basic algebra and i don’t even technically need it for a psychology degree but most universities require it as a general education course w at least 3 credits 💔 i left my original uni for a community college so they also require two physical education credits… and i wasn’t about to do coed swimming..soooo

this reminds me of how once when my teacher was evaluating my work i used a word and she was like “you just made that word up” LIKE GOD FORBID MY VOCABULARY IS SLIGHTLY BROAD…. BUT HDJFHSJDHSJ IM ACTUALLY DEAD it’s her trying to get a gag out of you and then you gagging HER like bet she didn’t expect THAT ONE 😂🤦🏽‍♀️ did she deduct points from your grade tho? because she doesn’t have any concrete evidence to say you’re using AI and take marks off 😭 what an interesting teacher you got wow

YOU ARE SOOOOO ME OMG idk if i said it yet but i had to retake maths like when i tell you that subject was HELL and i just didn’t like or get it (the irony is kinda funny because i used to do a tech based course that usually needs maths… good thing we switched 🤦🏽‍♀️) but whatever gets you that bag sis tho swimming as a course is kinda funny like are they trying to train you for the olympics by any chance? maybe you should’ve applied 🌝

[samtf]

JGKGKGLG no because why did we cosplay as the same thing 😭 only if i were to be honest i was doing a half-assed job at it 😬 halloween isn’t really a thing here either—kids don’t go treat or treating—but adults like to go out and party in costumes. i, however, am not that kind of adult. i just stayed home and wrote a drabble involving ghosts…

but hearing from you always makes me smile!!! i hope you’re doing alright being home for the holidays? and that you’re resting well 🫡

if I'm being honest staying in and writing sounds a lot more fun to me than going out and partying in costumes bc I'm not that kind of person either lmao😭😭

andddd you can't match the smile that forms immediately on my lips whenever I see u in my notifs 🥺🥺 I'm back to college and lectures have started so it's going to be hectic but I hope i don't crumble under the academic trauma I've inflicted upon myself by choosing this degree😭

i hope the coming colder days are kind to you and I wish you the best of health and happiness and sending all the love I have your way !! the most precious human being, take care of yourself 🩷🩷🩷

[the-bjd-community-confess]

Not quite (https://at.tumblr.com/the-bjd-community-confess/people-saying-recasts-dont-affect-the-market-are/g3r6wncjzakd) it’s not like recasts don’t affect the market but if we are truly speaking on microeconomics then it would be more correct to say recasts are a product of the legit BJD market itself and the second hand market being non competitive is the reason it is so slow/unhealthy.

The creation of recasts or any black market goods/illegal trades/knockoffs will happen when a market has goods that are highly income elastic and have high elastic demand such as BJDs. In a nutshell,highly elastic means the more income someone has the more of that item they will buy (luxury goods) and that economic factors (like recessions) affect the demand of that item to a greater degree. In contrast to highly inelastic goods that you will ultimately buy regardless of price changes or market conditions as there are little to no alternatives (ex a brand name medicine whose patent hasn’t expired yet)

Taking microeconomic theory and applying it to the BJD market is a bit fascinating (at least to a nerd like me). I’ve noticed reading this blog a lot of people have a lot of well intentioned though misguided ideas about the market.

You can explain the behavior of the BJD market such as Recasts (market’s supply and demand along with elasticity); why people who can afford multiple recasts don’t buy legit (budget lines and utility maximization); why a competitive market is just as much a reason for other smaller doll companies going out of business as recasts (substitution elasticity, opportunity costs and economic profit); why companies won’t lower prices even if they can afford it (price optimization and producer surplus) and why so many new/small artists end up as scammers who may start out with good intentions but ultimately cannot deliver on preorders/goods (marginal costs and short vs long run supply costs… lol I’m willing to bet good money M0C did not factor these costs) using economic theories.

I’ve been wanting to speak on this for a while but all the passionate attitudes of anti-recasts and making the hobby “affordable” legit, I haven’t really wanted to waste my time. More people seem to be concerned with arguing things should or shouldn’t be a certain way (pro vs anti recast) more than WHY they are the way they are currently and understanding how it got to be this way.

I don’t want to come off pro-recast and argue morals when I don’t even buy recasts myself because people don’t want to try to understand economics lol. I will say though you personally choosing to buy something or not are based on your morals and preferences is apart of economics too (individual preference, utility and indifference/value of buying one item vs all other goods). This isn’t a good vs bad debate or a case for pro-recast it’s just WHY they exist and will continue to in this market. (I’m sure some of you won’t read this far though and claim I’m pro recast 😭😭)

But I do encourage anyone curious on the “why” to look up those concepts as a very base understanding (LOTS of other factors and considerations not mentioned and some theories I mentioned apply to more than one scenario in different ways). It shouldn’t change your moral/normative stance on how you personally feel but it’s interesting and knowledge is power and all that jazz. I just really had to say something this one time as I was going to rip my hair out if one more person mentioned “the market” again with no real bases in any economic theory/reasoning (no offense anon).

Going back to anon’s original assertion I would make a case that the second-hand market is not a competitive market with barriers to entry, barriers to access and barriers to information which is the main reason its unhealthy/slow and it’s even more apparent now due to the recession. Barriers like: Knowledge of second hand being HEAVILY community based (some will never seek out the community to ever know); some people won’t buy/sell from/to you unless you are established; some won’t sell to you if you won’t pay f&f; conversely some won’t buy if you only accept f&f; some won’t ship internationally or buy internationally; some even with access and language fluency won’t sell outside their country (ex. Asia based collectors who are on IG and DoA will buy from IG or DoA but only sell on Xianyu, Weibo, Naver etc); and the fact majority of the legit second hand market even with the same language are on various social media platforms and forums rather than e-commerce sites like ebay, mecari etc, that are optimized and safe for selling. Even though there are perfectly valid reasonings why people do the above in the market the result is the same, it’s still a great hinderance to maximize trade and transactions. The more trade is hindered, the less competitive and the more slow the market will be.

Although recasts DO impact the second hand market (again substitution elasticity) it’s just not one of the reasons it’s so unhealthy/slow. The second hand market is slow because it’s not a competitive market. It’s been like this since the beginning in certain ways though and it’s definitely not one person or any group of people’s fault.

If you made it this far in, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk… I’m going back to bed 😂

How did you get into compsci? I’m working on my compsci degree right now and it’s tough for me 😭 do you have any tips?

I’ve just always had a really big interest in game development and such! That's why I'm choosing to work on these things myself.

Well it’s gonna be tough!!it’s really tough for me too, I have a hard time learning some of it sometimes. I do highly suggest using resources outside of your normal classes. For me w3 schools and YouTube are kind of my favorite ways to do this.

Practicing skills can also help a lot. Like perfecting your process of building xyz so that it’s easier in the future with less bugs.

----> Look at what you're struggling with the most, specific areas. Are you struggling to understand JS animations? Go watch some youtube tutorials on them! Follow them step by step!

----> Think specifically about the area that you want to go into in the future. For me, I enjoy game development the most. I also have a lot of interest in mobile app development. From here, begin fleshing out different projects in your free time to gain the necessary skills for that career. To me, personally, this looks like building a pixel game from a tutorial and writing notes in the code and designing a mobile app in figma!

Oh and remember:

If you can't understand it, take a breather and revisit the basics. You may have missed something fundamental.

[ghirahimbo]

For the writer ask game: 13, 17, 18, 27?

13. What is a subject matter that is incredibly difficult for you write about? What is easy?

HATE writing about myself—profiles, bios, etc. Impossible. LOVE writing inciting events. Very easy.

17. Talk to me about the minutiae of your current WIP. Tell me about the lore, the history, the detail, the things that won’t make it in the text.

Ha ha, so I knew where I wanted the last BBN chapter I posted to end up, but I had a very hard time getting there? Anyway, these were all my various attempts at writing it 🤣

There's not necessarily huge variation between all of the files, but I played a lot with the idea that Link and/or Ghirahim, or possibly the reader, could still hear Zelda speaking to various degrees (lol hence the file names). In one version, Ghirahim and Zelda were basically able to converse while Link refused to "acknowledge" it. Wrote another that was the same, but the reader didn't get to see what she said. In another, Zelda’s voice would only come through in fragments, usually pre-flicker where Link’s mind was trying to churn through some idea that challenged reality. I stuck with the idea for too long, tbh, probably because it made aspects of exposition easier, and there were bits of the writing that I liked? But it kept turning the chapter into a big old Ghirahim-Zelda fight/debate, even when I tried limiting her presence, and cut out the tension of wondering what had happened to Zelda. Anyway, the focus in that segment really needed to be Link and Ghirahim’s interactions, which couldn't develop unhindered with Zelda chiming in, so I had to cut it out :')

27. Who is the most stressful character you’ve ever written? Why?

I don't know if stressful is the right word, but I think Link from BBN just because there's so much to keep in mind? Trying to balance Link's levels of internalized ableism without carrying it too far or making the narrative itself ableist... trying to determine what Link could realistically do, and what he might need help with... trying to not accidentally write visual descriptions from his point of view 😂

18. Choose a passage from your writing. Tell me about the backstory of this moment. How you came up with it, how it changed from start to end.

Sooo Pinesong almost went in a very different direction, with Revali's restlessness leading him to go pick a fight with a Lynel, break his one bow he brought along, and experience a series of events that led him to remembering his own death? :') It wasn't that it was a bad direction, necessarily, and some of it was fun writing, but I realized that I wanted Pinesong to have a softer tone overall, so I scrapped it... all 4500 words :') In hindsight, this might be why some chapters take so long to finish 😭

Anyway, I just rediscovered the file that has that version written out (titled "Pinesong Chapter 5 Dramatic Version") so maybe you read a few excerpts and see for yourself how it changed XD

--

Progress at the Flight Range had finally stalled, coming first in inches and then not at all, and though Revali told himself there must be unavoidable mortal limits to what anyone could attain, he knew that his focus had become fractured, scattered to the winds by the very Hylian who had inspired it in the first place. Harth had accepted the broken pieces of his Great Eagle Bow with no mention that he’d ever seen them before, saying only that he would try to have a new one finished soon. Link had vanished into the wilds without a word of where he might go next, unreachable to Revali even had he wanted to find him—which of course, he did not—and the princess sent out no new invitations. It was as if the world itself were advising him to wait, to hold on, to be still… but Revali had never liked waiting, and refused to sit still.

Day after day, Revali wandered further from the familiar cold updrafts of his home, his Falcon Bow set securely against his back and his quiver bursting with arrows. All he needed was some reminder that his training was not without purpose, that he was worth more than his ability to pilot an old machine that he could no longer even stand to look at… but as he’d halfway feared, those scattered enemy camps he’d seen tucked away in the mountains and canyons were long since gone, with only the vacant, skull-shaped rocks and eerily empty forts left to prove that they had existed at all. The only “battles” he managed to find against straggling monsters barely deserved the term, though that didn’t mean he gave up his search. Stubbornly, he persisted, setting up camp in the frigid Hebra Mountains and no longer bothering to return for the night. Teba might have taken him up on his offer to train at the Flight Range, or even moved in there for all he knew or cared. He’d had enough of those stationary targets—it was time for something more.

The Lynel he stumbled across by accident, no matter what Teba would accuse him of later, although his first reaction upon spotting it was relief. Revali almost blundered straight into the creature while rounding the northmost edge of Hebra’s mountains leading into the Tabantha snowfields, but an unnatural stillness in the air made him halt just in time, taking quick shelter in a copse of trees as he spotted it prowling the frozen tundra, its enormous club in hand. Few animals were foolish enough to make their homes anywhere near a Lynel’s domain, and his surroundings were so silent that each careful breath he took rang painfully loud in his ears. Luckily, it seemed the hulking beast had not spotted him yet. If it had, Revali was certain he would know.

“So, Link missed one, eh?” he muttered to himself in satisfaction, heart racing as he eyed the creature’s silver coat and vividly violet stripes. Fear would have been the logical reaction to coming across a silver-maned Lynel, but instead, Revali found himself grinning. It had been a long time. “Typical.”

--

“Oh, I’ll be fine.” A soft snow had started to fall, but Rito were made to withstand the cold… for a little while. At least he would have plenty of ice to pack against his wounds. “I’ll just be sitting here dying.”

“I didn’t mean I would leave you here, idiot,” Teba grunted, standing to bend over, and before Revali could so much as protest, he’d been lifted up and draped across Teba’s back. “I’ll die myself before I leave you bleeding in the snow.”

He wanted to ask why Teba cared one way or the other, but suspected it might be taken the wrong way.

“That was a sharp descent from ‘master’ to ‘idiot,’” he said instead, and with his head resting almost on Teba’s shoulder, he could see Teba smirk.

“Would ‘master idiot’ be preferable?”

“Tempting.” Revali leaned forward with a sign, shifting so his wing wouldn’t be jostled. “I’d really just prefer Revali.”

--

“Revali!” Link called out as soon as he’d materialized, immediately catching sight of Revali’s fire and running towards it. Resigned, Revali leaned back against the cold stone. He should have been surprised, he thought, but somehow he was not.

“I had a feeling it would be you,” he sighed as Link approached. “Of course, making me wait all night seems a bit… indulgent.”

A vaguely out of reach memory and the expression on Link’s face made him wonder if he’d said something similar before.

[lubdubsworld]

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH so this is long overdue but I wanted to give myself the time and PEACE to read the second part of Yours, unfaithfully and GAHHH.

Shyn. You BEAUTY. YOUR MIND. YOUR TALENT. YOUR SKILL. WHAT A BEAUTY AND WHAT AN HONOUR IT IS TO READ AND BE GIVEN THE PRIVILEGE OF READING YOUR WORKS!!

I love me some angst. I LIVE for the heartache and pain and just... GAH SO MUCH!! THE FEELS IN THIS. THE FEELS

Cos!

Haneul WANTS to move on but can't. BUT. But she realises that her jealousy spilling over in the same toxic measures and possessiveness it did years ago wasn't right, wasn't healthy or fair so she controls that... she tries to rein that in and tries to be a better person, tries to work on herself for that.

YOONGI. OHMYGOD YOONGI... the way he's protective over Tae, what he'd do to the psychotic ex BUT?! Not willing to let him have Haneul and GODDAMN the power he holds over her. The "earn him" and earn the pleasure was just WHEW 🔥🔥🤒🥵 AND HIS PIERCINGS AND JUST EVERYTHING AND OH MY GOD YOONGI IS JUST AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT LEVEL. but!! Even when he figures Haneul is the ex he doesn't wanna ruin her, BUT he does wanna ruin her in another way entirely 🥴

TAE. OH MY GOD TAE. WITH HIS INABILITY TO MOVE ON, HIS CONFUSION, HIS WANT... SUCH A POSSESSIVE JEALOUS EX LOVER!! he WANTED Haneul, he wanted her and called Yoongi WHEN HE TOOK HER TO THE HOTEL and he wants her. He was just so confused because how can she suddenly seem... okay? But!! Not fair Tae. It's not that therapy FIXED her but it helped guide her, give her the ways and methods to try battle those possessive thoughts, to sort through the emotional baggage and to try... TRY be a better person. And even now she's trying so when she tells him to go, she's trying. Trying till the last end to let him GO. Because Jisoo is better, because if she didn't let go THEN then how would she let go... how would she EVER have let go? Like the whole saying that if you love someone, sometimes you have to let them go. So be them. To grow and learn. To split off and learn and develop. And that's what Haneul is trying to do.

LIKE... THERE'S JUST SO MUCH TO PICK APART AND OBSERVE AND I AM HOLLERING SHYN!! I have some MORE Namgi content for you love 🤭😌 as thanks and inspo whatever it feels like. Or just to ogle like one does to such FINE MEN.

And I just thought of this now!! But the title...

Yours, unfaithfully first made me think of the end of a letter you know but it's usually written like... e.g. Lovingly yours... so I thought Hmm why is it not Unfaithfully yours but THEN. Does that mean the letter end is Yours, and the name is unfaithfully.

Because whilst their relationship didn't end because of infidelity or unfaithfulness... but Haneul was perhaps never his FAITHFULLY. She always worried and wondered about HIS faithfulness that in that her own love is transformed into being unfaithful because she never TRUSTED him. She never held faith in him. So she becomes unfaithfully.

And this fic a sort of letter kinda navigating the whole relationship and dynamic.

WELL ANYWAYS could be entirely wrong 🤣 but I loved loved the chapter and thank you lovely for sharing it with us 🥺

Your fic may be called Yours, unfaithfully but I am always faithfully YOURS you beautiful mastermind darling 🥰, forever to root you on!!

Take care lovely! 💜

I have seven hundred thousand thoughts but alas I'm going to have to keep them to myself because they may be spoilers for the next change 😭😭😭😭

But I will tell you about the title though:

You're right it is based on the way people end letters.

The implication of course is that although they broke up, they're still very much in love with each other. And that's the thing , when you're in love and its mutual, whether you label it or not you still look for a degree of fidelity. Like you get mad when a potential love interest you have started to get to know chooses to date someone else.

So with haneul and tae, they were once in a relationship and they were both faithful.

But they don't have that anymore. They sleep with other people...

But they still belong to eaCh other though.

It is them saying ,

I'm yours, unfaithfully yes, but still yours.
